Delays in Home Action Today?

(Ron S) #1

For some reason all my actions today are either mot getting triggered or getting triggered with a major delay. Are you guys experiencing the same? I already submitted a ticket. My SmartSense motion sensor/temp was acting weird too when trying to trigger action and when I checked in the IDE, it showed motion activities in the future. Huh! Also, my 7:15 AM action got triggered at 7:49!!!

(Greg) #2

Yes, my time triggered actions didn’t happen today

(Ron S) #3

I checked and it reports everything is operational. Hmmm…

(Greg) #4

I’m pretty sure that page is updated through the same process that is failing our timed events :wink:

(Ron S) #5

I think it is not only us… Few others are complaining too. No response on the tickets. Usually they are very prompt and that’s why I like ST. Things do happen but an updated outage page does help to pacify.

(Jay Adkins) #6

Yes similar issues this morning. Very sluggish response times although things appear to be triggering properly. Haven’t checked logs or submitted a ticket yet.

Same issue here. Good Night and Good Morning scripts ran 20+ minutes later than scheduled.

(Jay Adkins) #8

update: Have an action that runs when my kids leave for school (using ST presence sensor located in backpack) that turns all of their bedroom lights off.

Between 9:30 and and 9:46amEST, the action executed 3 times. My son leaves for school at 8:30am…

(Ron S) #9

They have finally updated the status. Just got a notification and they are investigating.

First Alert Zsmoke

I just purchased 5 Zsmoke and 2 Zcombos, have them installed & set-up on my v2 hub. I smoked one of them and confirmed that it is operating correctly (it sent out notifications and text messages via ST).

However, only the single alarm sounded. At Lowes, they told me that these would act as interconnected and that all of the alarms would sound when a single one tripped. Is that indeed the case? Or do I need to return these?

It does me no good to have an alarm going off on the far side of the house if it’s not going to set off the alarms in the sleeping area.

(Dana ) #2

Don’t interconnect AFAIK…

appreciate the quick response… guess these are going back to Lowes. Why FA makes them and not have them interconnect is beyond my comprehension. It’s not like these are cheapo $10 ionization detectors.

Any recommendations for something that is interconnected that does work with ST?

Interesting finds:

  1. The z-smoke and z-combo can’t be found on First Alert’s website
  2. First Alert does show “wireless” alarms that appear exactly the same as the Z-smoke/combo (with the same wireless logo)… for these they state that all FA wireless alarms interconnect.

First Alerts phone support didn’t even seem to know that this device exists. They were completely clueless when given Zsmoke as a model number and nothing came up on their computer system for it. After putting me on hold for quite some time, a different person came on the phone and told me that they are designed to be connected to a hub and the hub provides the interconnection to sound all of the devices. He stated that if they are not all sounding then the hub is not sending the correct signal back to the devices and that I needed to contact the hub supplier.

(Dana ) #5

Yeah, they don’t appear to sell the Zwave model any more - they do have an interconnect version now:

(Kevin) #6

Also found out that the Zcombo does not trigger zwave if CO is detected, only alerts zwave for smoke. I’d have to do some digging to remember where I found this. I bought two Zcombos a while back to supplement my hardwired interconnected smoke alarms since I needed to update my CO.

They sure do. You can get them at Lowes or through Amazon.

The zcombo is different from their other ones, and the logo doesn’t imply any commonality. It would be nice if FA did create a combined zwave and interconnected version, but I suspect cost played a factor in their design decisions.

You could put these along side your other ones (like a redundant/backup system), or you can get a couple sirens and use SHM to turn them on with lights and other things, or you can integrate your existing smoke detectors:

Mine trigger off CO. I test at least yearly with a can of CO. Are you sure you had the right product? I’ve had 12 of these for over a year, and they all work when tested with CO.

Yeah, they don’t appear to sell the Zwave model any more - they do have an interconnect version now:

Well, the ones I purchased at Lowes last week were all manufactured in Nov 2016, so I don’t consider them old stock. Even if they have decided to discontinue and push their OneLink devices, they should still be able to support them and not appear utterly clueless when contacting their support line.

(Dana ) #10

Oops :-/ my comment on First Alert not selling was meant to imply not promoting…I.e., no mention on their site. I also bought five of them (ZCombo Zwave version) from Amazon in the past few weeks.

The identical logo certainly does imply commonality. Every product that shows the “Wireless” logo on their site has written description about connectivity between devices. Usage of the same logo implies the same feature set.

If they didn’t want to imply common connectivity, then they should have used the Z-wave logo (or some other logo).

These will be my system - I won’t have “other ones”. I live in a historic house that does not have an wired system, and wiring new in would be prohibitive. I’m trying to get an interconnected system via battery. I picked up a couple of Nest Protects this afternoon and am going to try them. If they work, then the First Alerts will go back to Lowes.

(Robin) #12

That’s an interesting detector… Does it go off every time you walk past whilst breathing?

Sorry… Couldn’t resist :smiling_imp:

(It’s Carbon Monoxide (CO) not Carbon Dioxide (CO2))

(Dana ) #13

Pretty funny in my opinion, @RobinWinbourne, especially since your comment made me realize that I had mistakenly named all of my detectors “Smoke/CO2-” in the SmartThings app <eek!> Damn Poli Sci majors like me… :smiley:

Off to fix my typo before anyone in my family gets a “CO2” alert, and rushes in with a plant.

(Tony) #14

Interesting timing of this thread . . .

Discovered that one of my old FA smoke detectors was dead. So this morning I ordered 2 FA ZCombos (Photoelectric Smoke/CO) from SmokeAlert for $38.95 ea.

There are certainly more things that I can do with these than with my old “dumb” units. There will always be something better tomorrow.

(Michael Hess) #15

FA OneLink and Leoo. Use IFTTT to interface to virtual switch with uDHT in ST and you are set.

This convo has been had a few times in the forums, and this seems to be the consensus short of DIY with basic detectors and zwave sensors.

I do this exact thing with two Leoo’s, 3 OneLink combo’s that speak and 2 OneLink smoke only detectors. And Insteon SmokeBridge that is OneLink compatible with my Insteon Hub2.

(Robin) #16

Sounds dodgy to me… We are talking about smoke detectors here, relying on the cloud and IFTTT’s 15 minute polling window is a bad bad idea!!

Smoke alarm interlinks need to be 100% independent of the ST hub / cloud! They can be wireless between themselves but not reliant on a bigger picture.

Hooking into ST for text alerts, turning on lights, unlocking doors etc is all good. But not for the core function of an interlink between smoke detectors.

What’s the first thing to fail during a fire? Electrics followed by Internet.

(Michael Hess) #17

All alarms go off instantly. My Insteon system alerts immediately via app notifications and almost as quickly via email. The the tests I’ve run so far have leeo going off a second after the alarm and the IFTTT notifications nearly instantly after.

All my families phones ding multiple times, three of our phones and two family member phones then ring in succession (leeo) with verbal alerts as well. All while the alarms on all 5 detectors are going off. I’m pretty well covered I think. Only thing I could add is cellular backup which I don’t really see the need for. Oh and everything Internet related is on UPS in the basement in probably the least for prone portion of the house. Unless the ups explodes I suppose…

(Robin) #18

But the interlink between your alarm units still requires hub and internet right?

Your modem / router / hub may be UPS protected but you can guarantee the cable junction box down the street isn’t.

Sod’s law states the Internet / cloud will be down when a fire occurs… If it can happen, one day it will… Not worth the risk in my book.

(Michael Hess) #19

No, the alarms are not aware of the hub’s, internet etc. Only the leeo and insteon are aware of the detectors, one via radio signal, the other via audio.

And my cable node and power supply are actually in my front yard (well node on the pole), so unless someone hits it with a gas truck that catches my house on fire, I’m pretty likely to still have internet.

But this is only happening because you’re using the OneLink series, rather than the Zcombo/Zsmoke. Correct?

(Michael Hess) #21

Yes, can’t have all alert with zwave far as I know.

Presence dead..... Again?

(Jason "The Enabler" as deemed so by @Smart) #1

Is it just me? Or is the presence dead again?

All of my automations involving presence are not working.

Edit - do it hasn’t been working since at least 2115 cst… But as soon as I post this it starts working again. Of course!

(Chris) #2

No issues here…

( I hate Mondays) #3

I currently have a problem with all zigbee/zwave events. Can control devices but no events come in…

(Marc) #4

Nothing is working…we are back where we started. The sad thing is we are no closer to another solution out there replacing ST.

Investigating - Some North American users may be experiencing issues with device control, loading the mobile app, and SmartApp execution at this time. The engineering team is working on the issue and we will update shortly,
Aug 13, 07:28 EDT

(Bobby) #5

Aren’t you using life 360? What presence are you talking about?

(Jason "The Enabler" as deemed so by @Smart) #6

Yes, I am. Sensor comes home, ST says it’s home, none of the automations work.

    Representing ranked preferences in Tableau?

    Elizabeth Brown

      I have some data from SurveyGizmo where respondents were asked to rank several factors in order of their importance. In SurveyGizmo's automatic report, it represented that data in a way my colleagues and I really liked (image below). Would this be possible to recreate in Tableau - and any advice for how to go about that? I've also added a screenshot of what the data look like in Excel. I haven't actually loaded this into a workbook yet, just trying to get an idea of whether or not Tableau would be good for creating this.

after birth pain.

for mums that have had a second bub is it true you get severe after pains with your second birth?

Sort by: Oldest Newest 20 Posts

I don't have any severe after pains, just the normal soreness.

Didn't *

OMG!!! Finally someone who heard of this too. After my second for me it wasn't that bad BUT after my third the pains in my stomach after hurt real bad. I have had a natural birth with no medicine, and if i get medicine i get at 8.5 CM (so u get the picture). When i got the pains - i asked for pain medicine. They gave me norco, morphine, tylenol, ibuprofen and honestly nothing took away the pain. It felt like a stabbing and burning pain in your insides. Good luck!

Hey there! It is very common for your cramping afterbirth to be more severe with each pregnancy. The uterus has to work hard in order to get back down to prepregnancy size, especially when it's been stretched out more than once. If you breastfeed, those cramps can also be more intense. Not fun but very normal. :)

After my first, I did not have any uterine pain. After my second it was awful! They told me it gets worse after each pregnancy. This is the part about the entire pregnancy/labor/recovery that I am dreading the most. Its almost like I wish we get a second epidural! Lots of heat pads and medicine. Problem is the pain hits when you try to breast feed. Not sure what is worse the nipple pain or the uterine pain.

Enough that I remember them, but not the worst thing in the world.

I have 2 children and didn't have cramps with either. I actually felt amazing! Really sore after my first and swollen but my second was a total breeze.

I have 3 kids. All natural. The pain after birth was all the same. Some pain from stitches. And a little cramping while breastfeeding at first (which is completely normal).

Are you talking about the nursing cramps? I heard those get much worse with each birth. Mine were really bad with my daughter, so I'm a bit concerned.

morphine made me extremely sick the first time I vomited my whole labour! and I refuse to have an epidural. only thing I would have again is the gas. looks like I'm screwed lol

I'm not sure what I'm talking about myself someone told me it was kind of like having mild contractions after you've given birth. fingers crossed its not to bad this time! I felt fine after my son.

I didn't really have any afterpains with #1 but with #2 it hurt! Then #3 even worse! Dreading how bad it will be for #4, but in my hospital they do come round with paracetamol for afterpains. Not that strong of a painkiller but better than nothing. Although afterpains got worse for me, the soreness of 'down there' wasn't as bad after the first time. First time I had grazes and I couldn't pee without crying for a week. With #2 and #3 I also had grazes but didn't feel too much discomfort and could pee straight away, I'd say the discomfort was more the humongous pads you have to wear for what seems like ages!

couldn't agree more. as for peeing. use Ural or bend over the toilet bowl with your hands on the ground or take a bottle of warm water and run it over you as you pee. all 3 of these worked for me and I never had an issue!
I had no pain aftet my first i was up walking around 30 mins after so was a littke concerned about the after pain. but the pads I couldn't agree more they're the worst!

Barely noticeable with bub number 1. Bub number two I had them for weeks afterward. I would sweat and get faint...I ended up on the floor thinking it was the end! Hopefully the are not that bad this time. At least with labour you get a baby afterwards - no such luck with post-labour pains!

I hear it gets worse after each child yay, this is baby number 3 for me and last time it was not fun.

After the first and second recovery was a breeze and didnt need any pain meds but after my third it was painful and I definitely needed pain meds.

yeah breastfeeding can make afterbirth pains feel very intense

I don't know that I'd call it severe, but fairly intense and worse when I nursed. However, it was only a short period of time.

I've had pain after every birth. As you breastfeed the uterus contracts and it hurts. Its uncomfortable and sucks but doesn't last forever. I think mine lasts 4/7 days somewhere around in there.

Root Cosmetics RAVE Review & FOTD!

Root is an Indie Mineral-based cosmetic brand that is fairly new, as they opened in 2013 and have grown quite a bit over the past 3 years. Root is a cruelty-free company based in Iowa and I’ve been eyeing their products for months upon months now! Part of me didn’t want to take the plunge because I’ve been using mineral makeup for the past decade and I figured, “what could really be new?”. I am so glad I put my apprehensions aside and tried their products because WOW, I am simply blown away….

In addition to Root’s loose mineral cosmetics, they are also expanding on their pressed mineral eyeshadows and blushes, as well! They offer Z-palettes (to store pressed eyeshadow and blush pans) and a Dollup Case to store all of your pressed products, brushes, and loose products for on the go! I would love to try their pressed products in the future!

The photo above shows my Root Cosmetics purchase, which features 3 full sized eyeshadows, two full sized blushes, a Pretty Balm, a Pretty Blender, and their Pearl Powder foundation. I also received a free eyeshadow sample pictured on the bottom left! I also think it’s a very nice touch when I order from Indie companies and when you receive your order, the packing slip is hand signed with a “Thank you” note. It adds a nice, personal touch that you will never find in big, conventional brands.

I also love supporting Indie companies because I’m essentially supporting an Independent woman, a stay-at-home mom, or a person with a side business who is doing something he or she simply loves to do! We’ve really lost touch with our connection to one another and how we can all help each other thrive and flourish by supporting one another’s creative goals and passions!

My order arrived in this re-useable, cute bag that stored all my goodies that I purchased and will be reviewing in today’s very detailed post. I love the added touch of the re-useable bag because these always come in handy for traveling or for storing other items to keep things organized.

Pictured from left to right:

  • Pearl Powder Foundation in 3 Warm for Fair to Light complexions with a warm undertone.
  • Sugar Plum Mineral Blush
  • Sadie Mineral Blush
  • Holland eyeshadow
  • Tan Rose eyeshadow
  • Portland eyeshadow

Pearl Powder Foundation in G2

I chose my match and bought the full size without trying a sample because Root’s Youtube model has a similar complexion to me and this is the shade that works for her, so I went with this one and it matches my fair skin with yellow undertones perfectly. I’ve been buying loose mineral and pressed mineral foundation for so long that I kind of just know when a color will work for me and I knew that if this didn’t match me, no other color would. I would recommend purchasing samples of their colors to find your correct match before buying the full size, though.

Root’s Pearl Powder foundation is unique because since it is a loose mineral foundation, it can be applied three different ways:

  1. Dry with a dense foundation flat top Kabuki Brush
  2. With a damp Pretty Blender applied with the dry minerals
  3. As a liquid or serum foundation. (Mix a couple of drops of water or a serum/oil of choice and mix in with the loose minerals in the cap and apply with the damp Pretty Blender)

I’ve tried many loose mineral foundations and after reading the ingredients in Root’s Pearl Powder Foundation, I wasn’t really convinced it would offer anything different. But, I was very intrigued by the implementation of the damp Pretty Blender to apply the dry minerals to get added coverage that sinks into the skin. I’ve tried doing this with other mineral makeup products with a different Beauty Blender dupe and couldn’t get it to work for me.

Root’s Pretty Blender is their version of the famous Beauty Blender:

I prepped the Pretty Blender until it was only slightly damp, sprinkled out the loose mineral powder into the lid and pressed the pretty blender into the loose powder. I dabbed it onto my face in stippling motions and all I can say is…..WOW…. It truly does just sink into the skin as it becomes one with my skin and blends beautifully while offering amazing coverage.

I almost didn’t post this review this weekend, as I had planned, because my skin has been freaking out the past few days due to a natural skincare regimen experiment gone very, very badly… My face is literally broken out EVERYWHERE after years of having my acne under control and finally getting the scarring to fade over time. It’s amazing how quickly it can go south. So, I didn’t want to try a new foundation and take photos with my skin in this condition. But, then I thought maybe this is the best time to try a new foundation and really put it to the test! Makeup allows us to be artistic and creative, but it also helps us feel confident in our own skin. So, I’d like to help people with similar skin conditions with finding toxin-free foundations that won’t further wreak havoc on their skin. I’m here for you all!

When my skin was breaking out horribly after I went off the birth control pill in my early 20s, I went on two rounds of Accutane and it still came back because it didn’t address the underlying hormonal cause. Nevertheless, over these years, I’ve tried every maximum coverage foundation that has been offered, both natural and conventional products, including products designed to cover tattoos and I’ve never been wowed by any of it.

Up until now, what I feel provides the best coverage for acne prone skin and post acne scarring is to use a slightly tacky concealer over problem areas and then apply your mineral foundation on top, in layers, with a very high quality dense brush and this will literally cover everything, except the texture of uneven skin. Mineral makeup needs something to adhere to in order to provide maximum coverage. The problem with this is that most concealers, both natural and conventional, clog pores like no other thing on the planet….

All of this explanation is leading me to describe my sheer joy at being able to stipple on this Root Cosmetics Pearl Powder foundation with the Pretty Blender and it gives me the SAME COVERAGE as using a concealer underneath my mineral foundation. I do have to apply it in layers because one layer basically evens out my skintone and starts hiding the active blemishes. It covers post acne scarring almost immediately, which is wonderful once I get my skin back in shape. But, the other amazing thing is that I need so much less mineral foundation to get the job done, even when applying three layers.

The most AMAZING part is that when I use this method with the Pretty Blender and it covers my active acne, when I apply my bronzer and blush on top, the pesky acne marks do NOT GET EMPHASIZED!!! Nothing is more annoying when spending all this time applying makeup to cover imperfections, only to have all the imperfections suddenly peek through with a vengence once I apply blush to add dimension back into my face. When using Root’s method, I apply blush and bronzer and the marks STAY CONCEALED under the blush!! After I applied their blush and my blemishes were still concealed, I literally said out loud, “what sorcery is this???”. It’s literally magical…

And now that I don’t have to plaster heavy concealer underneath my foundation, my skin can breath, the makeup feels weightless, and my oil is controlled for a longer period of time.

One last thing to mention about this foundation. When I first looked at it in the jar (and you can see it if you look close in the above photos), there are pretty obvious shimmer particles sprinkled throughout the foundation. This made me sort of pause and wonder if this would be a deal-breaker for me. I already have oily skin, so I don’t need any added overt shimmer. I remember reading a review of someone saying they didn’t like the foundation because it contains shimmer. HOWEVER, I just wanted to let you know that although the shimmer is there, when I actually apply it to my skin, I have no idea where it goes because my face doesn’t look glittery in any way shape or form.

This foundation does have a satin-matte finish, overall. However, it lasts all day long on my very oily skin without breaking up in patches. I don’t need to touch it up throughout the day.

I would recommend using a setting powder because my pores were pretty apparent until I used a setting powder. I don’t have Root’s setting powder (which now I wish I did purchase it….) so I used a setting powder by Juice Beauty and my pores were blurred quite well.

Holland: a light, shimmery pink-based champagne. Great as a one color wash!

Tan Rose: A beautiful antique rose gold with a sheen that is STUNNING as a one color wash that is slightly deeper than Holland.

Tan Rose:

Portland: A beautiful complex shade that has plum, brown, taupe, and copper tones. This is also a great one color wash or used on the outer 2/3rds of the eye for added dimension. I think all three of these shades work beautifully together. Portland is one shade deeper than Tan Rose.

Left to Right: Holland, Tan Rose, & Portland

Left to Right: Holland, Tan Rose, Portland

Photo of me wearing all three shadows:

I wanted to only use Root products, so I didn’t use a crease color.

Sadie Blush:

Sadie is the closest thing I’ve found to a dupe for Everyday Minerals’ discontinued blush in Snuggle!! Snuggle is one of my all time favorite blushes and I am absolutely overjoyed to have found a replacement!! Sadie is the perfect everyday peachy pink with subtle sheen that livens up my face.

Sugar Plum Blush:

Sugar Plum is absolutely beautiful and I wish I had purchased it so much sooner! It’s a great fall and winter blush shade of plummy magenta with rose overtones so it’s not too bright. It blends smoothly and applies flawlessly. I would wear this color all year round, too because it adds dimension to my face and is such a stunning color! This shade also has subtle sheen with no visible shimmer when applied.

Finger Swatches: Sugar Plum, Holland, Sadie, Tan Rose

Finger Swatch of Portland eyeshadow:

Pretty Balm in Sugar Plum

Root’s Pretty Balm is a tinted lip balm that applies a sheer tint of color to the lips. I imagined that the formula would be thicker due to the “balm” name, however, it’s more on the thin side, which can tend to emphasize lip lines and any chapped areas. This is the only product that I do like, but I don’t love because I have other lip products that I find to be more moisturizing and look better on my lips. The color Sugar Plum is very pretty!

All of the arm swatches together: Top to Bottom: Pretty Balm in Sugar Plum, Portland eyeshadow, Tan Rose eyeshadow, Holland eyeshadow, Sadie Blush, Sugar Plum blush, and a swatch of Pearl Powder foundation in 3 Warm.

My Final Look Wearing:

  • Root Pearl Powder in G2 applied with a damp Pretty Blender
  • Sadie Mineral Blush
  • Zuzu Luxe Bronzer in D-28 (I don’t have a Root bronzer)
  • Eyeshadows in Holland, Tan Rose, and Portland
  • Brown eyeliner from Tarte
  • Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara
  • Root’s Pretty Balm in Sugar Plum
  • Zuzu Luxe Brow Pencil in Russet
  • Juice Beauty Finishing Powder

This photo is taken under studio lights:

You can see the texture of my blemishes peeking through in the below photo, but the pigment is not emphasized by the blush! My entire face is covered in deep, painful blemishes and this foundation covered EVERYTHING.

Here’s a candid shot my husband took of me under studio lights that show every single imperfection as if I were staring at myself with a microscope (not pretty….). Even though you can see the texture of active blemishes, everything is concealed!

I hope you have found this review to be helpful! I am so, so glad I gave Root Cosmetics a try and I can’t wait to explore more of their products in the future! It’s so much fun finding another indie company that offers unique, high quality products at an affordable price! All product details and prices can be found on (this link will give you 10% off!)

You can also search for Root’s YouTube channel where you’ll find so many helpful videos with live swatches of each color!

Literacy Programs in English & Afrikaans
  • Technology allows a student to complete 40, 50 or more exercises in a lesson of 40 minutes… in normal classroom conditions the student may only be able to complete 10 or so exercises, with the slower and faster students adapting to the average pace of the class.

    All students start at the beginning of a topic or concept being taught and can work their way on an individual basis through the teaching, coaching, marking and testing of the concept. Fast students will move through the work quickly, (Needing only one set of ten exercises) and may be allowed to progress onto extension work that is part of the future curriculum requirements, so that the information is familiar when being taught at a later stage.

    The average student may go through the concept three times, i.e. 3 sets of ten randomly generated exercises, before he or she has reached a thorough understanding of the work. For the slower student it may be necessary to go through the exercise seven or eight times, i.e.; 7 or 8 sets of ten randomly generated exercises before the lessons are assimilated. The slower student works well in a non-threatening situation and can cover the work as many times as necessary. At the end of the lesson EVERY student should have mastered the concept.

    The Language programs is arranged in 9 distinct levels covering speed reading, comprehension, grammar, and spelling. The program is suitable for first language students from Gr. 1 to Gr. 9 and second language students from Gr. ro Gr. 12.

The Happiness Project, by Gretchen Rubin

Yes, it’s another “I did something for a year and got a book contract!” books. And yes, it has the obligatory blurb from A.J. Jacobs.  But I still enjoyed it. Call me a sucker (though a bitter sucker, since I still haven’t figured out the year-long challenge that will get ME a book deal), but as long as the book is well-written, I’ll dedicate a few hours of my time to finding out what someone else dedicated a year of theirs to.

In a lot of ways, this is the lamest project yet, and yet the book is more enjoyable than you’d think. Gretchen Rubin, a not-particularly-unhappy writer, decided to dedicate a year to learning about happiness, and to making and following resolutions that would help her be happier. She didn’t travel anywhere or uproot her life in any signficant way — basically, each month she just focused on things that would help to make her a happier, better, more productive person. And it worked.

Little Princes, by Conor Grennan

Little Princes is the story of a young American, already working in the field of international development, who becomes involved in a much more hands-on way when, as part of a trip around the world, he spends some time volunteering in an orphanage in Nepal. There, Conor Grennan not only got to know and love the children under his care, but also learned more about the problems of child trafficking in a country torn apart by civil strife.

After he leaves Nepal, Grennan is haunted by the memory of a group of children separated from their families, and vows to reunite them with their parents if he can. Fulfilling this promise involves starting a charitable foundation, returning to Nepal, opening a children’s home, making a gruelling trek into the countryside, and, incidentally, falling in love.  Along the way, Conor — an engaging writer and does a believable job of portraying himself as a likeable but rather shallow guy who initially thinks volunteering in an orphanage will sound good when he’s trying pick up girls in bars — learns lots more about the plight of Nepal’s children, and also about himself. This is the kind of memoir that’s great to read because it’s like a travelogue as well as a personal journey — I knew so much more about Nepal when I had finished the book, but it was interesting mainly because I had such an interesting tour guide.

My only disappointment at the end of the book was finding out the Grennan, while still involved in working for the children of Nepal (in fact, some of the proceeds of book sales go to the foundation he set up) is living back in the US now. I kind of hoped the story would end with him in Nepal, because he really seemed to belong there.

The Glass Harmonica, by Russell Wangersky

Now this is a book that I waited for until it was available for my Kobo, and although I am normally such a huge proponent of e-reading, and though it helps prevent wrist-strain in case of books like Fall of Giants, I am here to tell you that if you have a choice between reading The Glass Harmonica on an e-reader or in a paper copy, you should read the paper book. Either way, you should definitely read it, but you’re probably going to want to flip back and forth a lot as  you’re reading, going back to previous chapters to go “Oohhhh … was that the time when …” and “Wait, he was the guy who …” and frankly, all that is easier when you have a paper book.  Write that down, because that’s the first negative thing you’ve ever heard me say about e-books.

That said, Wangersky’s The Glass Harmonica is a vivid, brilliant, gritty view of life on one working-class St. John’s street. The story is bracketed by two violent crimes, one committed as the novel opens, the other buried far in the past and only revealed gradually, through the memories of characters. In between, there are plenty of other crimes, mostly petty ones — there is nothing idealized or picturesque about Wangersky’s vision of life on a street of row houses in the centre of Canada’s oldest city.

Fall of Giants, by Ken Follett

This is the first Ken Follett book I’ve read. Everyone seemed to be raving about Pillars of the Earth last year, and I didn’t read it, but after I gave my dad  Fall of  Giants for his birthday I decided to read it myself (on the e-reader, to spare wrist strain — it’s a hefty tome!) and that was a good decision.

Let’s be clear first about that pesky distinction between commercial and literary fiction: this is clearly commercial fiction. When it comes to historical fiction, Fall of Giants doesn’t have anything like the literary ambition of a book like Wolf Hall or The Book of Negroes.  There is no particular beauty to the language and absolutely no subtlety to the characterization: characters do and say exactly what they mean, and in case you miss it, the narrator will helpfully tell you what they’re feeling. This is simply, straightforward storytelling, and if you don’t expect Follett to deliver more than he promises, you’ll enjoy this World War One epic, which is the first in a planned trilogy.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (CBS Local) – Two carjackers in Tennessee were foiled when they ran into something completely unexpected in their victim’s car: a manual transmission.

According to police in Nashville, a 15 and 17-year-old were arrested after they failed to steal cars from two separate women on Aug. 1. The teens allegedly attacked the first woman as she sat in her car. However, the driver continued to honk her horn and scream until the crooks ran off, police say.

Midtown Hills Precinct officers said that the would-be carjackers then approached another woman an hour later in a parking lot and stole her keys. “Both got inside the victim’s vehicle. After a few seconds, they exited the car and fled on foot, apparently unable to drive a manual transmission,” officials said in a press release.

Police caught the suspects a short time later and they were taken to Juvenile Court. Both were charged with attempted robbery, carjacking, theft of property, and attempted theft of a vehicle.

Aside from allegedly making some very poor choices, the two teens also apparently suffered from some really bad luck. A 2016 report found that only 18 percent of U.S. drivers know how to drive a manual car. Only about five percent of vehicles sold in the country that year had a stick shift; that’s down from 25 percent of vehicles in 1987.

The Ghost Inside – Dear Youth

If you could write a message to your younger self, what advice would you give? That’s the question frontman Jonathan Vigil sets out to answer with The Ghost Inside’s fourth LP, Dear Youth. Along the way, he explores themes of uncertainty of the future, complacency, and getting older. Though it’s framed as a pseudo-concept album, Dear Youth doesn’t feel like a reinvention, either in lyrics or sound, for the LA metalcore quintet.

Simply put, those themes aren’t exclusive to this record — lost innocence held sway on tracks from the band’s third LP, 2012’s Get What You Give. While the idea behind Dear Youth is compelling, its execution doesn’t feel entirely new or fleshed out when expanded over an entire record. Even some of the imagery from that previous album repeats itself here. On Get What You Give highlight “Deceiver”, Vigil howls, “Overturn the throne/ I’m here to turn the tide of war.” On Dear Youth’s “End Note”, he screams, “I won’t fight for a throne that doesn’t exist.”

Beyond those lyrical echoes, this is very much a Ghost Inside record, with chugging riffs, double bass drum wallops, and earth-shattering breakdowns throughout. (The adrenaline-pumping breakdown on “Mercy” — “Life’s swinging hard/ But I’m swinging harder” — will play great at their high-energy shows.) A higher-pitched guest verse of clean vocals from letlive. vocalist Jason Butler provides a strong contrast to Vigil’s deep, distorted delivery on “Wide Eyed”.

There’s a persistent self-awareness and vulnerability to Vigil’s writing that has worked well on previous records and still subverts genre conventions. So much of metalcore revels in anger and machismo; on “Phoenix Flame”, over the crash of cymbals and strings, Vigil simply and poignantly sings, “I can’t do this alone/ Can you help me?” He even went as far as to tell Alternative Press that “My Endnote” is about feeling fed up with the competitiveness and judgmental elements of the scene.

“Mercy” features the band’s biggest gamble on the record: The track opens with birds cawing, a chime ringing out, and faint explosions popping in the background before Vigil bellows, “For whom the bell tolls!” At first listen, it seems like an obvious, contrived way to nod to Metallica. But when Vigil repeats the line in the middle of the song, it actually works. He’s singing about a war that nobody ever wins: a war against time.

Essential Tracks: “Mercy”, “Wide Eyed”

Developing a Multicriteria Model for Use as a Highway\ud Assessment Technique

By A.D. Pearman

INTRODUCTION \ud \ud This paper is concerned with the development of a simple multicriteria model for use as a priority assessment technique (PAT) by Local authority transport planners faced with the problem of identifying which of a range of highway investment proposals should be implemented. The project of which it forms a part has involved three main phases: \ud \ud Phase I - a review and critique of PATS developed by British local authorities; \ud \ud Phase II - the application of a representative sample of PATS to a set of six highway schemes, together with an analysis of the different scheme rankings which emerged; \ud \ud Phase III - the construction, based upon the experience of phases I and II together with knowledge of recent developments in multicriteria analysis, of a computer-based PAT. \ud \ud An account of the outcome of the first two phases of the project is given in Simon (1987); more detailed information is available in Simon (1986a,b; 1987)

Differential cross section and analysing power of of the quasi-free pn->{pp}s pi- reaction at 353 MeV

In order to establish links between p-wave pion production in nucleon-nucleon collisions and low energy three-nucleon scattering, an extensive programme of experiments on pion production is currently underway at COSY-ANKE. The final proton pair is measured at very low excitation energy, leading to an S-wave diproton, denoted here as {pp}_s. By using a deuterium target we have obtained data on the differential cross section and analysing power of the quasi-free pol{p}n -> {pp}_s pi^- reaction at 353 MeV. The spectator proton p_sp was either measured directly in silicon tracking telescopes or reconstructed using the momentum of a detected pi^-. Both observables can be described in terms of s-, p-, and d-wave pion production amplitudes. Taken together with the analogous data on the pol{p}p -> {pp}_s pi^0 reaction, full partial wave decompositions of both processes were carried out

The Social Psychologising of Emotion and Gender:\ud A Critical Perspective

By Abigail Locke

This chapter offers an overview of psychology’s approach to sex differences in emotion, beginning from a discussion of how psychology has approached emotion. The chapter takes a critical, social-constructionist stance on emotion and critiques psychology’s essentialist stance. Moreover, it introduces a new direction in psychology in which emotion and gender are studied from a discursive perspective, in which emotion words and concepts can function interactionally. The article considers two examples. In the first, a woman is positioned as emotional and by implication, irrational. The second example investigates how the popular concept of ‘emotion work’, one that typically constructs women as down-trodden, can in fact be used as a resource for young women to manage their identities in interactions. Indeed it is constructed as something that makes them powerful in relation to the vulnerable males they discuss

Israeli company Soda Club, which owns the Sodastream brandname, is reportedly planning to open a store in Brighton.

The Israeli carbonated beverage manufacturer has a factory based in the Mishor Adumim settlement industrial zone. Mishor Adumim is an industrial area attached to the residential settlement of Ma’ale Adumim, east of Jerusalem, in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

The expansion of Mishor Adumim is encroaching on the land of the Jahalin bedouin, who are being pushed into a reservation in Abu Dis, next to the Jerusalem municipal rubbish dump.

Corporate Watch interviewed a woman from Brighton who answered an advertisement on Gumtree looking for staff for a new “eco-concept store.” Only when she applied for the job was she informed that she would be working in a new Sodastream store on Western Road in the Old Post Office building. The store is apparently due to open at the end of July.

“I went to the interview and met a man called Steve, who said he had been employed by Sodastream to open a new store in Brighton. He said that the company had chosen Brighton because of its green credentials and that the new store is to be the first of many outlets in the UK. He said he was interviewing about 20 people a day.”

“I told Steve I did not want to work for a company that profits from the Israeli occupation and human rights abuses. He said he had not heard of the concerns I was raising, about the company being situated on occupied land, despite having visited Sodastream’s operations in Israel. He did say that he had been warned by the company that the store might face opposition.” “He said he would pass on my concerns to the company’s management and asked me if I thought there would be protests against the store. He seemed very worried about the prospect of local resistance.”

TUMBT : Chapter 61

Author: Chai Jidan

Translator: KrisLo89

Proofreader: Lonelycauliflower, Zeraphiel25

Mu Xueshi thought that the Third Prince would come back the very next day. And yet, for the next three days, not even the Third Prince’s shadow could be seen. Mu Xueshi couldn’t help but to try asking Eunuch Tai’An.

Eunuch Tai’An replied with a calm face: “Third Highness’s mother just passed away. His Highness has to mourn his mother for seven days. During those seven days, he must kneel in front of the Imperial Concubine’s spirit tablet to mourn. He must not leave even for half a step. His meal and clothing will all be sent by dedicated people.”

When Mu Xueshi heard that the Imperial Concubine passed away, he was really saddened by it. At this moment, watching the lively scenery in the house was not exciting. The Third Prince’s mother died, if it was his own mother… It would be absolutely unbearable. It was a sad thing for a very close relative to die.

Mu Xueshi did not bother complaining that Eunuch Tai’An did not tell him this news in advance and allowed himself to decorate the house so radiantly. After all, he did not inquire first. He just became crazed and it all turned out like this. Now, he was afraid that it would be difficult to revert it back to the way it was. He might as well as let it be. He would await for the Third Prince to come back. Perhaps, his mood would become better once he gets a glimpse of this.

Mu Xueshi first cheered himself up. At the moment, he did not fear anything. He changed into an orthodox outfit and planned to visit the Third Prince. Eunuch Tai’An quickly stopped Mu Xueshi and said that he could not be disturbed during the mourning period. If he was discovered, he might be beheaded.

Mu Xueshi stopped when he heard this. It was indeed a bit serious to be beheaded. It was not worth such a big risk just to see the Third Prince.

Mu Xueshi retreated back. He was in a daze as he sat in front of the writing desk. All of a sudden, the mud paste inside the brocade box attracted Mu Xueshi’s attention. Mu Xueshi was struck by a brainwave — he could apply the mud paste on his face and go look for the Third Prince! In this way, no one would know who he was. As long as he had the token, would anyone hold him back?

Mu Xueshi considered the Third Prince’s status as same as an emperor and thought that there was no one who could not be punished by the Third Prince. Thus, Mu Xueshi hurriedly smeared the mud paste on his face, making it look extremely embarrassing and funny, but he still felt fine. It was probably because he had shown this face before for too long, so that he was already used and numb to it.

The Third Prince had an indifferent look as he knelt in front of Concubine Mu’s spirit tablet, and there was no trace of grief. After Lin Yue’s death, she did not even have an intact skeleton: yet this woman was so wicked, why was she able to die so decently? If one day he would sit on the throne, the first thing that he would do would be to remove this woman’s spirit tablet and let her be without a burial place.

While he was still recounting Concubine Mu’s crime in his heart, the Third Prince heard the sound of footsteps. He thought the attendant came to send him food. He did not bother looking back, but waited for the attendant to close the door after they delivered the meal.

In the end, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and they were not walking toward the desk where the meal was placed. Instead, they were walking toward himself. The Third Prince’s vigilance immediately strengthened. As a result, after listening to those footsteps that completely lack rhythm, there was a familiar feeling.

All of a sudden, there was a dusky little face that appeared in front of his own, and that little face even had a mischievous smile. The Third Prince was quite surprised. He did not wonder how Mu Xueshi came in. He was just surprised why Mu Xueshi would come and look for himself.

Mu Xueshi saw that the Third Prince looked puzzled in his eyes so he quickly explained: “Don’t be afraid. I sneaked in from a small door. I shouted at the maidservant who brought the meal. She handed the food over to me. Awesome, right?”

In the Third Prince’s heart, he could not help but want to laugh. As a matter of fact, that maidservant must have seen the token on Mu Xueshi’s chest. Looking at his face, it was indeed frightening; yet, Mu Xueshi still had that contented look on his face.

Graphs: Eulerian Paths and Circuits

Revisting The Seven Bridges of Konigsberg

Recall our previous discussion of The Seven Bridges of Konigsberg problem, for which we are asked to determine if it is possible for a tourist to cross each bridge eactly once:

Bridges of Konigsberg

Recall further, that in our introduction to graphs, we discussed how Leonard Euler transformed the above image to the following abstract graph:

From this problem, Euler developed two important concepts for graph theory, that of an Eulerian circuit and that of an Eulerian path. We say that a graph has an Eulerian circuit if it is possible to traverse the graph and end up at the original vertex while having visited each edge exactly once. An Eulerian path is similar except that we need not end up on the same vertex that we started - the only requirement is that each edge is traversed exactly once. The Seven Bridges problem, above, we want to know if an Eulerian path exists as we are not required to end up on the same vertex (land mass) from which we started.

Solution: How to Tell if an Eulerian Path Exists

Ideophonetic: The Flinching Eye Collective Brings It (and Then Some)

Let it enfold you. No really, do it. The sonic sounds and total immersive experience that is a Flinching Eye Collective performance will render you unable to be anywhere but completely in the moment. Ideophonetic, the performance for the Biennial of the Americas in Denver last week at Junction Box was not to miss.

The temporal, interactive, and sensory experience invites you in to not just watch but participate – to be in on the action just as much as it’s happening around you.

The lights focused your attention, the voices, noises, the symbol grinding, whistle blowing, turntable spinning, does the same. But wait, because it doesn’t stop there.

(Image from the FEC)

As more unfolds around you a better sense of Ideophonetic, what it is, and its purpose comes to surface. The FEC, their ideas and the ways they bring them to light becomes clear and just as quickly slips away…keeping you on your toes.

The performance was seamless and sonic, loud and quite, playful yet well crafted, simultaneous to a grinding halt.

As you moved around the space it changed, your attention shifted, the action carried on.

The a-typical instruments, the devices and machines rigged to create the sounds kept you intrigued. Their inclusion is unique and another feature that highlights the creative ingenuity of this crew.

When you’re part of the static that makes the sound you’re gonna have something to say.

Render me refreshed to have had the opportunity to experience a Flinching Eye performance, and color me still spinning.

A rare entity, the Flinching Eye Collective consists of seven members: Max Bernstein, Adán De La Garza, Scott Ferguson, Tobias Fike, Ryan Wade Ruehlen, Benjamin Gale-Schreck, and Matt Weedman. Independently these guys are interdisciplinary media artists. Their collaboration resulted in the creation of the collective back in 2011 in Denver. They have toured in cities around the US and this performance was the first to happen in Denver.

Hedrick Smith

Speaking about his current best-selling book, Who Stole the American Dream, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Hedrick Smith will describe how America moved from an era of widely shared power and effective bipartisan politics in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, to today's polarized politics, starkly unequal democracy, and gaping financial inequalities, with a middle class - and a national economy - stuck in a rut. Smith breaks with the conventional explanation that the demise of America's middle class was caused solely be market forces, globalization and new technologies. He sees a political power shift in Washington and wedge economics in the private sector as the main causes, and he lays out an agenda for systemic reforms and political changes based on a revival of grass roots civic activism.

The EI Undergraduate Fellows program offers a select group of Gettysburg College students the chance to develop their leadership skills and grow in their knowledge and understanding of public policy. Fellows serve on the Eisenhower Institute's College Advisory Council, act as liaisons for assigned Institute events at both locations, and serve as hosts for campus visitors. Students engage fully in the planning and promotion of specific programs and projects. They are responsible for selecting, developing, and promoting a public policy theme with programming in both Washington and in Gettysburg.

Event Date

Hedrick Smith is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of the current best-selling book, Who Stole the American Dream.

Advances in Classification in Non-Stationary Environments

Tavasoli, Hanane

A common assumption in the majority of existing classification algorithms is that the stochastic distribution of the data being classified is stationary and does not change with time. However, in some real-word domains the data distribution can be non-stationary, implying that the distribution or characterizing aspects of the features change over time or the data generation phenomenon itself may change over time, which, in turn, leads to a variation in the data distribution. In this thesis, we consider a problem of C-class classification and of detecting the source of data in periodic non-stationary environments. Within our model, sequential patterns arrive and are processed in the form of a data stream that was generated from different sources with distinct statistical distributions. Using a family of Stochastic-Learning based Weak Estimators, we adopt a scheme to estimate the vector of the probability distribution of the binomial/multinomial datasets.

We are proud to offer CAD and CAM. CAD and CAM stands for Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing, respectively. They allow us to offer you the very best dental care. Using state-of-the-art dental technology, we are able to give our patients the care they deserve so they can have smiles of which they can be proud.

CAD and CAM use the latest technology to create dental crowns in a few minutes instead of days or even weeks. They take a 3-D image of a patient’s teeth and gums, allowing us to design the perfect crown to fit right in the spot where the tooth is missing. Then, we are able to make the restoration in our office.

Using CAD and CAM allows us to save our patients valuable time. They don’t have to make several trips to us to get the smile they deserve. Dental restorations made in our office fit better, giving our patients a more comfortable smile. This way it won’t take as long to get used to the new crown.

Dentists who use CAD and CAM are able to help their patients from start to finish. They don’t have to rely on a laboratory that has never even seen the patient!

If you have any questions about CAD and CAM, don’t hesitate to contact us today at (718) 526-5999.

Shiny Dratini to appear, Kyogre and Groudon return to Pokémon GO

Consider who you battle as a Raid Boss for the next week; it’ll influence Egg hatches! Get hyped for Shiny Dratini during the Community Day event today as well.

Trainers who have missed out on catching Kyogre and Groudon in Pokémon GO have a reprieve, with both Pokémon reappearing in Raid battles for the next week, alongside current legendary Raid Boss Rayquaza. Which ones are battled more often than others will also have an interesting effect on Egg hatches the following week:

Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza each have their own strengths and weaknesses, so challenging all three will take skill! Power up your strongest Pokémon, grab your friends, and head to nearby Gyms for a chance to battle and catch them from February 23 until March 5.

We’re in for some legendary battles, and the overall result will be exciting! If Rayquaza is defeated more than Kyogre and Groudon combined, Pokémon that typically prefer windy weather (for example, Bagon) are more likely to hatch from Eggs from March 5 to March 16. If not, Pokémon that prefer sunny or rainy weather (like Trapinch or Lotad) are more likely to hatch.

Community Day meanwhile will be starting up across the world, lasting for three hours. This month Dratini is the featured Pokémon. Dataminers have reported on The Silph Road that Dratini’s Shiny model has been added to the servers. This means, like last month, there can be an expected higher rate of Shiny Dratini during the event!

Are you excited and able to try to to catch a Shiny Dratini? Have you caught one of the Hoenn Legendaries yet?

Relive Anna Lunoe’s full performance from San Diego’s CRSSD FestivalAnna Lunoe Live 1

Relive Anna Lunoe’s full performance from San Diego’s CRSSD Festival

Following her prime time performance at HARD Summer 2017, Anna Lunoe added another huge credential to her list of accomplishments in becoming a mother for the first time. Baby Willa came just weeks after Lunoe’s final DJ set (though, at the time of HARD it seemed like she could go into labor during her b2b with AC Slater), bringing the perennially-moving Aussie’s itinerary to a much-needed halt. As 2018 began, Lunoe kicked off her comeback, announcing a Las Vegas residency, dropping off new music, and returning to the festival circuit — most notably with CRSSD Fest in San Diego.

Unfortunately, her performance wasn’t recorded in real time, however by popular demand, the “Godzilla” producer re-recorded the celebrated festival outing and it is now available in full for fans’ repeated listening pleasure. Holing up in a hotel suite with Diplo sometime after the festival, Lunoe went back through her CRSSD crate to deliver a redone version of her hour-long not-so-live set from the weekend. Packed with her signature club flavor, Lunoe stitches together an energetic blend of Chris Lorenzo, GTA, Riton, Disclosure and more, officially marking her return to her craft (again).

Reading the National Narrative

Single Tax

Sep 1, 2017

While I was writing my biography of Louis Taylor, Vancouver’s longest-serving mayor, I was used to having him called many things. Scoundrel, socialist, corrupt, light-weight. One thing no one ever called him was visionary, yet it turns out perhaps that’s what he was.

Taylor was a big fan of the American social theorist Henry George. In 1879 George published Progress and Poverty, one of the best-selling books of the 19th century, in which he argued that the private ownership of land was the root cause of economic inequality. Landlords, he said, enjoyed windfall profits from escalating property values that they didn’t deserve. The solution was a “single tax” on land alone intended to control speculation and confiscate excess rents for the good of the community.

During his first terms as mayor in 1910-11 Taylor became a promoter of the single tax and Vancouver introduced various single tax policies. In fact he was so associated with the idea that he was known across North America as “Single Tax Taylor” and Vancouver as “The Single Tax City.”

What brings this to mind is that the single tax is once again being promoted in the city, this time as the answer to the current affordable housing crisis. Just today, for example, I read this essay by a prominent urban planner making an argument for a land tax as a way to dampen down the speculative frenzy that is inflating Vancouver’s real estate prices.

I am not an economist or a planner so I leave these issues to people who are but it would please the old mayor to know that a policy he championed with such vigor – and which was dismissed by his opponents as a “Socialistic fad” and a “scatterbrained folly” -- is once again relevant to the public discussion.

The Future of BIM: Bricsys Acquired by Hexagon

The Future of BIM: Bricsys Acquired by Hexagon

Today, in Sweden, it was officially announced that industry giant, Hexagon AB, acquired the veteran CAD software developers, Bricsys. The merger marks the coming together of one of the most globally renowned names in digital solutions and one of the oldest developers of construction technology; Bricsys has been in the game since the founding of CAD back in 2002.

Bricsys’s innovative CAD platform, BrisCAD, combines vertical CAD applications created by thousands of third-party developers, offering designers, engineers, and BIM professionals a great deal of opportunity for an optimized workflow; an efficient BIM experience, seamless cloud connectivity, and concise conceptual modeling capabilities. In a single system, the BrisCAD platform implements:

  • 100% de facto standard design format
  • BIM solutions
  • 2D/3D general, mechanical, and sheet metal design
  • Its own set of time-saving, artificial intelligence-driven add-ons

In a statement released early this morning, the President and CEO of Hexagon, Ola Rollén, expressed his optimism towards the recent merge:

“Hexagon has long been a leader in structural & process piping design. The Bricsys acquisition extends our domain expertise into building design, adding walls, floors, doors, and other construction related features. More importantly, we can now provide the AEC market with an end-to-end platform – with conceptual design, CAD design, BIM software and collaboration tools, project and cost controls, in-field construction execution tools (work packages), and progress documentation (reality capture) – to connect, automate, and ultimately 'autonomise' the entire building and construction ecosystem through our HxGN SMART Build solution.”

The Bricsys headquarters—based out of Ghent, Belgium—will be fully consolidated into Hexagon’s PPM division by end of day today. In 2017, Bricsys’s turnover rate correlated to nearly $15-million.

Contact Us Today

It is always exciting to witness the constant and rapid evolution of this industry, and we cannot wait to see what the recent merger between Hexagon and Bricsys will bring for the future of BIM solutions. If you are looking to optimize your workflow with BIM solutions, then contact us today for training and support. Our specialists would love to meet you!
