First Bicycle Boulevards for Perth - Smart Transport WA Bicycle boulevards are new to Perth, yet they are used around the world in cities such as Portland, Seattle and Amsterdam. Bicycle boulevard users are not fast cyclists. They are mums, dads, children, senior citizens and others making short to medium length trips on bikes to schools, train stations or shops. The Cities of Bayswater, Belmont and Vincent are participating in the pilot project, working with State Government to develop locations that would best suit Bike Boulevards. Bicycle boulevards need to be located on local streets with low traffic volumes and speeds, providing bike riders with: Safe and comfortable bike routes on streets with lane markings.Priority over cars – cars must give way to bike riders.An easy, on-street link to local destinations or major bike routes. The lower speed road creates a safer environment for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. To learn more visit the Safe Active Streets Program page.
Evolution of the LEGO logo The red, white, yellow, and black LEGO logo is synonymous with one of the world’s largest toy manufacturers, but it didn’t always look so familiar. Photo by Faiz Zaki, in Putrajaya, Malaysia. The story began in 1932, when carpenter and joiner Ole Kirk Kristiansen established his business in the village of Billund, Denmark, manufacturing stepladders, ironing boards, stools, and wooden toys. His son Godtfred Kirk Christiansen started working in the business alongside him, aged just 12. The first product line, 1932. In 1934, Ole’s company and its products adopted the name LEGO, an abbreviation of the two Danish words “leg godt,” meaning “play well.” Ole Kirk Christiansen at his desk, 1934. This ink stamp “LEGO Fabriken Billund” was first used on wooden toys in 1936. LEGO’s wooden cars, 1938. LEGO’s wooden duck, mid-1930s. The factory had 10 employees by the time this logo iteration was introduced in 1939 or 1940. Automatic Binding Bricks, 1949. LEGO Mursten packaging, 1953. Late 1954.
denisandernach The True Costs of Driving - The Atlantic (* with apologies to Donald Shoup) A new report from Tony Dutzik, Gideon Weissman and Phineas Baxandall confirms, in tremendous detail, a very basic fact of transportation finance that’s widely disbelieved or ignored: drivers don’t come close to paying the costs of the roads they use. Published jointly by the Frontier Groups and U. S. PIRG Education Fund, Who Pays for Roads exposes the “user pays” myth. The report documents that the amount that road users pay through gas taxes now accounts for less than half of what we spend to maintain and expand the road system. While recent congressional bailouts of the Highway Trust Fund have made the subsidy more apparent, it has actually never been the case that road users paid their own way. There are good reasons to believe that the methodology of Who Pays for Roads, if anything, considerably understates the subsidies to private vehicle operation. Think about air travel for a moment.
El nuevo edificio de Apple está hecho para personas mayores Una gigantesca nave espacial acaba de aterrizar en Cupertino. Este verano, 12.000 empleados de Apple comenzarán a trasladarse a este enorme edificio en forma de disco, que ha tardado ocho años en construirse y cuyo coste podría ascender a 5.000 millones de dólares, lo que le convertiría en el edificio de oficinas más caro del mundo. Apple Park es el último proyecto póstumo de Steve Jobs; un proyecto que recuerda al Palacio del Pueblo de Nicolae Ceausescu en Bucarest. Jobs, como buen fanático del control, se encargó de todos los detalles, insistiendo en la calidad de los materiales. Si yo fuera accionista de Apple, no estaría muy contento. La ostentación en el decorado de la sede central de una compañía siempre ha sido una señal de que se cierne la calamidad. Como observadora de oficinas, estoy encantada. Primero, hemos perdido la confianza en las oficinas en general. La segunda tendencia negativa es la línea cada vez más estrecha que separa nuestros hogares y oficinas.

That night Rodger knocked on the door of a sorority house near the University of California, Santa Barbara, and when the women inside didn’t let him in, he left and shot three women who were on the sidewalk, and then continued the rampage, ultimately killing six people and injuring fourteen. He then shot and killed himself. Before the attacks, Rodger posted a video of himself online, declaring that he intended to punish women for not giving him the attention he felt he deserved—and the men whom he perceived as receiving that attention and therefore envied. It was then that Kate Manne, an assistant professor of philosophy at Cornell University, started to write. Manne tosses out the common thinking that misogyny is equivalent to despising all women, and instead offers that it’s a way to keep women in their place. More than anything, I could feel an urgency on the line.
Architecture Photography Shows Couple with Buildings Around the World Copenhagen, Denmark Citing the street as their favorite workplace and the whole world as their canvas, Valencia-based couple Anna Devis and Daniel Rueda inventively interact with architecture. When paired with their love of travel, this playful interest culminates in a quirky and creative collection of photos that'll make you look twice. Set in cities across the globe and featuring bold patterns, simple shapes, and pastel colors, Devis' and Rueda's snapshots convey a wide range of architectural styles and structures. On top of simply showcasing beautiful architecture around the world, the charming photographs also demonstrate the duo's unique way of experiencing everyday life and interacting with their surroundings. Thanks to their clever poses, building façades become theatrical backdrops, spiral staircases turn into playgrounds, and windows are transformed into versatile props.

Abismo arquitectónico en las ilustraciones de Cinta Vidal Abismo arquitectónico en las ilustraciones de Cinta Vidal "Creo que cada cual tiene una perspectiva particular del mundo que habitamos: podemos estar muy cerca y muy lejos a la vez. Por eso juego con la gravedad, para representar ese 'estar' en un mismo lugar ocupándolo de formas muy diversas". Así define Cinta Vidal el motivo de sus ilustraciones. Utilizando pintura acrílica mate sobre paneles de madera noble, la artista crea espacios ficticios que encuentran su vida a través de una serie de detalles cotidianos. Antes de pintar, esboza con lápiz y guías de perspectiva, para luego colorear con toda libertad. Sobre sus ilustraciones agrega, "me apasiona crear espacios con muchos rincones habitados por personajes relajados, aunque sus mundos siempre terminen en abismo.
