![]() ![]() The shaping is controlled by the different fibre orientations.” After curing and cooling to room temperature, the anisotropy in the different layers creates the curvature. The layers are deposited on a flat surface. For example, layer one can have fibre orientation at 0°, while layer two may have fibre orientation at 90°. ![]() The fibre orientation varies from layer-to-layer. Each layer has a certain fibre orientation. The printer is an automated fibre placement machine. Hoa explains, “The material we use is carbon/epoxy composites…The fibre content is about 60% by weight. The layers are then compacted, cured at 180☌, and cooled to 0☌, to create a stiff object that is not brittle. The 4D composite printer unrolls the filament-resin mixture in ultra-thin layers that are perpendicular to each other. According to Hoa, the 4D technology works with different fibre and matrix materials, so long as there is some degree of anisotropy. While 3D printing requires a soft and dough-like supply material, 4D printers use long, fine filaments held in place by a resin. The fourth dimension refers to the altered configuration of the once-flat material. After being printed flat, the composite changes into a 3D-shape when exposed to stimuli. Unlike 3D printing, 4D printing changes materials from location to location – it includes a material that reacts to stimulus such as water, cold or heat. Professor Suong Hoa, at Concordia University in Canada, developed the 4D composite printing technique which has led to a feasibility study on manufacturing adaptive compliant trailing edge morphing wings. Pressures on the aviation sector, such as rising fuel costs and environmental awareness, are motivating researchers to investigate cost-effective efficiency gains, including for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones. This would replace a common hinged wing flap.Ī new manufacturing method can make drone wings that bend in flight rather than relying on a wing flap 4D composite printing shapes bendable wings for dronesĤD composite printing could lead to morphing wings on drones. ![]() ![]()

Immigrant Visas: The Consulate General in Almaty has resumed processing immigrant visa cases for applicants who are exempt from the Presidential Proclamation titled “Suspension of Entry of Immigrants and Nonimmigrants who present a Risk to the US Labor Market During the Economic Recovery Following the 2019 Novel Coronavirus Outbreak” issued on June 22, 2020. We continue to provide emergency and mission critical services as described below. We will resume routine visa services as soon as possible but are unable to provide a specific date at this time. Information for visa applicants about the current state of visa services: As of March 19, 2020, the United States Embassy in Nur-Sultan and Consulate General in Almaty suspended routine immigrant and nonimmigrant visa appointments. Also, if any additional documents are required they will need to be sent to the US Embassy in Nur-Sultan. If a case is selected for interview that interview must be conducted in the US Embassy in Nur-Sultan. Visa renewals by interview waiver: Starting from September 14 th, all new interview waiver cases will be reviewed by the US Embassy in Nur-Sultan. Please continue to monitor this site for information on when we will return to routine visa operations. Mission will extend the validity of your payment (known as the MRV fee) until December 31, 2021, to allow all applicants who were unable to schedule a visa appointment as a result of the suspension of routine consular operations an opportunity to schedule and/or attend a visa appointment with the already paid fee. ![]() In the meantime, rest assured that the U.S. We are working diligently to restore all routine visa operations as quickly and safely as possible. Mission to Kazakhstan understands that many visa applicants have paid the visa application processing fee and are still waiting to schedule a visa appointment. ![]() ![]() ![]() The version number 3.4 would suggest this isn’t a significant release, but if you build for Android, you should probably take a peek at the list below. Google released Android Studio 3.3 in January. “The main focus for our next few releases will be quality, which we’re calling Project Marble, reducing the number of crashes, hangs, memory leaks, and user-impacting bugs.” “We know that for an IDE to be delightful, and to keep you productive, it has to be not just stable - it has to be rock-solid stable,” noted Google group product manager Karen Ng, at the Android Developer Summit back in November. This release is part of Project Marble, a fancy name for an initiative Google announced late last year to improve Android Studio. If you are already using Android Studio, you can get the latest version in the navigation menu (Help => Check for Update on Windows/Linux and Android Studio => Check for Updates on OS X). You can download the new version for Windows, Mac, and Linux now directly from /studio. Android Studio 3.4 also promises “over 300 bug & stability enhancements.” Google today launched Android Studio 3.4, the latest version of its integrated development environment (IDE), with “a small but focused set of new features that address core developer workflows for app building & resource management.” That includes an updated Project Structure Dialog (PSD), R8 replacing Proguard as the default code shrinker and obfuscator, a new app resource management tool, and an updated Android Emulator with Android Q Beta support.

Originally posted by McFlurry Butts:Then it should have been locked before hand. So indeed what valuables do I really lose? I guess nothing then. Meat sadly spoils yes but I gotta make more kitchens to transform them into survival meals nefore it spoils. Well it seems that for some strange reason, organs do not need to be frozen and can be stored in a really hot room and never spoils. Mostly depending on how many animals/colonists there are at the time and how much of it I sold to traders or put on caravans (corn = amazing for caravans). My stockpile wildly varies between 15k and about 70k food, including hay. I did not know that this is related to how much food I got stored. I have not tried however to set the temperature to something REALLY low like -80 with a wall of coolers (but you lose double wall). But I guess the game just wants it for balance reasons. I mean, normally deep inside a mountain, with a starting temp of around -10, double walls, airlocks, and even the hallways around it being cooled should not allow a room to heat up that fast. Yeah I converted most of the meat to survival meals.Įven though it makes no sense, the freezer starts losing temperature regardless of what I do. ![]() ![]() Hot Springs Cove, and the actual springs, within Maquinna Marine Park, are geological miracles – even to me, a geologist! The springs are completely natural – a steaming water source bubbling out of a fracture in the rock, cascading through a series of pools along the tideline. It will serve as a staging point as we paddle down the coast, on the final leg of our expedition – a chance for us to re-supply for the remainder of the paddling trip and to get a meal on the way! The Innchanter is a floating B&B that is anchored up at Hot Springs Cove, around 50 km north of Tofino. We are very pleased to announce that the Innchanter has signed on as a sponsor to the Secret Coast Expedition 2019! Our focus is this period, 1774 to 1811, but there are also some very interesting happenings after that period, too – from shipwrecks to bombings to chainsaw-gardening – that I will write about too! This final conflict deterred both the Americans and the British, and for the next half-century the Nuu-chah-nulth people were left alone by foreign explorers.ĭave and I are really excited about our upcoming adventure, and our chance to visit the historically significant sites where these events – and many more – occurred. This was in part in revenge for the burning of their village of Opitsaht by the American Captain Robert Gray nearly two decades earlier. Then 1811, John Jacob Astor’s ship the Tonquin, sailing from New York, was captured by the Nuu-chah-nulth near what is now Tofino. In 1803, the Nuu-chah-nulth captured the American ship the Boston, killing all on board except for two, who they enslaved for over two years. ![]() The Americans and the British were now the main foreign visitors to the coast – although their relations with the Nuu-chah-nulth people gradually deteriorated. From the late 1780s on, American ships were also active in this region, at times coming into conflict with the Spanish.Īfter resolution of the Nootka Crisis, the Spanish gave up their claims to the territories here. Cook had made it generally known that great riches were to be made selling the furs from the coast over in China. Meanwhile, the Americans were out and about. ![]() Volume I, plate VII from: “A Voyage of Discovery to the North Pacific Ocean and Round the World” by Captain George Vancouver. (More about the Spanish in the Pacific Northwest in an upcoming blog post). The resulting conflict (Spain insisting “We got there first!” while Britain countered “But you never set foot on shore!”) eventually culminated in what is now known as the Nootka Crisis: by the early 1790s, Spain and Britain nearly came to war over these lands. Conditions were rough: the Spanish made contact and traded with the Nuu-chah-nulth from their ship, but never set foot on shore.įour years later, the famous British navigator Captain Cook sailed into Nootka Sound and came ashore at Yuquot, which he renamed Friendly Cove – in reference to the Nuu-chah-nulth inhabitants who greeted him. In 1774, the first European ship to make contact with the Nuu-chah-nulth, the Spanish frigate Santiago, sailed into Homais Cove (on the Hesquaht Peninsula, near the southern entrance to Nootka Sound). The Nuu-chah-nulth had (and have) inhabited these lands since “time immemorial” (In archeological terms, that means at least for 5000 years, the oldest radiocarbon dates attesting to their presence – but probably for much much longer). Now wild and nearly entirely uninhabited, the Secret Coast was once a hive of activities: comings and going of Spanish and British and American sailors, all vying for trading privileges with the Nuu-chah-nulth and hoping to lay claim to these lands in the name of their countries. The text will weave the narrative of our upcoming one-month wilderness expedition with our discoveries of the history of this region. I envision a format very similar to that of my best-seller The Wild Edge. ![]() The Secret Coast will become a book that I (Jackie) will both write and photograph. Here in the Pacific Northwest coast, the Spanish were big players: they were actually the first to arrive and make contact with the indigenous Nuu-chah-nulth. ![]() But there is a whole period of history that is unknown to most Canadians – and many of those events took place here on Vancouver Island. Why the “Secret” Coast? Well, because most people think of Canada’s colonial history in terms of the English and the French. Yuquot – now known as Friendly Cove, Nootka Island ![]() ![]() ![]() Two wood and metal trellis structures supported by living green walls frame the pool. A pool area offers guestsintimate and more communal seating groupings, including raised cabanas with a retractable top and sides, two-person chaises,a long daybed, and a firepit where guests can gather. A wood and stone island bar has been designed to maximize views of the iconic Hollywood sign and the city skyline. Located on the rooftop of the Dream Hollywood, the TAO Group’s Highlight Room is an 11,000 SF outdoor bar, lounge and restaurant covered by a retractable roof enclosure. A separate wet room within the bathroom contains the shower and stone oval shaped tub which is built into a ledge.The room is surrounded by glass so that guests can look out to a landscaped garden and the city beyond while soaking in the tub. Gold mosaic glass tile columns visually divide the sleeping area and the master bath. The plush blue velvet-upholstered platform bed in the oversized master bedroom provides a comfortable place to sleep or lounge and gaze at the city ahead. A custom lighting fixture framed on all four sides with beads casts a luminous light inside at night. The living room, which can be transformed into a private screening room, opens up onto a landscaped terrace. To the right of the sculpture, a glass enclosed daybed surrounded by views of trees provides a cozy nook for lounging.Ī dining/bar area with a sculptural dining table and a living room with a marble feature wall are located on the other side of the sculpture. Upon entering the suite through an oversized pivoting wood feature door, a sculpture directly aheadframed by floor to ceiling windows draws the eye to sweeping vistas. The Guest House is a spacious, glass-walled urban retreat inspired by the clean simplicity of mid-century architecture. The bathroom’s floor and walls are wrapped in 2’ x 2’reclaimed wood tiles arranged in an exaggerated parquet pattern. A custom wallcovering over the bed depicts an iconic image of the Los Angeles landscape, such as the freeway at night, in an abstracted form. The bathroom and sleeping area are divided by a row of freestanding, patinated bronze shelving units that support the bathroom sink, a mirror, and mini bar. The guestrooms have a modern sense of openness. The second palette looks from the inside out and draws upon the warmer hues of a sunset. Inspired by sky, water, and white houses against a desert backdrop, the first color palette includes blue, white and other neutral tones accented with pops of orange. Rockwell Group developed two color schemes for the guestrooms. A custom carpet in the corridors is based on the random, abstracted patterns created when light hits the floor. The corridors are defined by a trellis and louvers in the ceiling lit to suggest daylight streaming through the wooden slats. The focal point of the space is a 22’ tall stone fireplace,inspired by the hearths found in many mid-century Los Angeles homes.Īs guests step off the elevators into the guestroom corridors, they encounter a playful hint of the outdoors. At the end of the lobby, a chandelier made from hand-blown glass globes filled with lightbulbs and plantings anchors the view. The indoor/outdoor experience is further emphasized by other garden-inspired elements, including strips of grass set between stone tile flooring and atrellis-inspired divider wall interspersed with candles. ![]() At night, lighting effects mimic the shadows cast by the sun hitting trees and are projected on the path. A garden path subtly guides guests from the entrance to the check-in and concierge area. In the lobby, the walls of the airy, double-height space completely open up to a landscaped pedestrian alley. Similar to California hillside residences, the hotel has astrong, seamless visual connections between the indoors and outdoors throughout the property. Influenced by residences designed by John Lautner, Richard Neutra and others, Rockwell Group crafted a contemporary framework for the lobby, guestrooms, and rooftop amenities. Surrounded by the Hollywood Hills, the Dream Hollywood payshomage to mid-century modern architectureunique to Los Angeles, but with a Dream Hotels twist. ![]() ![]()
