![]() ![]() Click through these spectacular examples from San Francisco to Singapore to discover how top architects-including Pritzker Prize winner Renzo Piano and AD Innovator Weiss/Manfredi-are incorporating green roofs into their projects. Factor in lower heating and cooling costs, extended roof life, and tax incentives (depending on the city), and it’s easy to see why this building trend continues to grow. The sky-high functional gardens also have a wide variety of ecological benefits, such as the ability to absorb carbon dioxide, reduce stormwater runoff, limit heat absorption, and provide habitats for insects, birds, and other wildlife. Made with hardy varieties of succulents, grasses, wildflowers, and herbs atop several structural layers-including a waterproof membrane and levels for drainage, insulation, and filtering-these self-sustaining living architectural features can bring natural beauty to urban buildings or connect rural structures to their surrounding landscapes. And the building went right back to the earth with very little overall impact.Green roofs are sprouting up more and more on buildings around the world, from private residences and schools to cultural institutions and businesses. There was no expense energy in transportation or manufacturing of the building materials. The sod house was easy to heat, and cool. I would suggest that no one takes the LEED rating as proof positive. The long and the short every consumer needs to do their homework before assuming they are building green. They are just jumping on a bandwagon to profit. The deeper I look into LEED I’m finding a lot of builders and manufactures of products that are anything but green but still hold the LEED certificate. In other words from extraction, to construction, to energy used to heating and cooling, to longevity, to eventually demolishing and disposing. To truly build green you have to think of the building materials from cradle to grave so to speak. However, I have also seen a lot of green washing and hope this is not one of those cases. Considering all the green grassy roofs popping up in Seattle, maybe Ma & Pa Ingalls' little soddy by the banks of Plum Creek was architecture way ahead of its time. The new Gates Foundation headquarters will be completed in 2010 and visitor center will open in 2011. Iincluded among it's key "green" components are living roof systems like the one on the new multistory parking structure for Seattle Center, which is already finished and now open. The $500 million project includes a brilliantly planned visitors center and two six story office buildings. It's the 900,000 square foot campus of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. from Seattle Center to begin construction of Seattle's newest complex to be built to LEED Gold specifications. Just yesterday ground was broken at the parking lot across 5th Ave. ![]() Yes, that is grass on the roof (the same architects helped plan the Ballard branch of the library, which also has a living roof). I've shown you other features of this civic complex from time to time, but this gives you the full picture of this Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design "LEED" Gold certified "green" campus.

![]() The e-bike company’s recent sale was very popular – turns out, $500 e-bikes sell like hotcakes. Right now, the bike is sitting in our basement waiting for someone to figure out what went wrong and get it back in commission.ĭagny isn’t the only person who just bought a Rad Power bike. (No, it wasn’t dead.) Eventually, we got it going again, but only briefly before it puttered out once more and she had to ride to back without any electric assistance or lights. Dagny and I were riding with a group of other people on bikes deep in the north Portland peninsula this past weekend when all the sudden, the lights on her bike turned off and the pedal-assist stopped working. When the bike came, Dagny put it together and charged it up, excited to hit the bike path.īut she’d only had it for a few days when the honeymoon period ended. My roommate and friend Dagny Daniel was in the market for an electric bike, and when she saw Rad Power Bikes was selling their entry-level e-bike for a $500 ($700 lower than its usual price), she jumped at the opportunity to buy it. It’ll all get sorted out eventually, but there will be a lot of heartbreak in the process.” – Andrew Schnell, The eBike Store ![]() If you need to keep the bike outdoors, I would say invest in a good U-lock and read how to attach it to your bike correctly and bring the battery indoors - keeping it in a temperature controlled environment will help extend its life also.Dagny and her e-bike during the halcyon days. Nice bikes will always attract attention, so I personally keep it "indoors" for that reason since I have a balcony. You can turn off assist entirely if you want a harder workout so this isn't a downside. I find electric to me is worth it if only to get up to speed quickly from a stop, using the throttle, especially if your area forces you to share the road with cars. You could also buy a second charger too if you think you'll forget it or need it at a location (this is what am going to do - have one at my house and one at my desk at work). If you are forgetful, maybe make a checklist you go through everyday before riding. How hilly is it where you live? If you're pretty flat I would recommend going nonelectric, but if you have to go uphill often electric will mean you can enjoy the ride longer.Į-bike is definitely heavier than a comparable non-electric bike, so I would say if your battery dies it will be more effort to pedal - but I find the battery has a really long life so you'll have hours of use. I never felt out of control on the Rad, but a lighter bike will be more responsive and in my opinion a better experience. ![]() I had a RadWagon for a while, and while it was fun it felt more like a vehicle than a bike does. I really like having a light "tossable" bike. It feels great to get up to and maintain speed under your own power. ![]() ![]() There is something to be said for taking a light nonelectric bike out on the streets. I've ridden both and while the $1000+ bikes are nice I've had a lot of fun on the entry-level bikes. Bike people can be snobs too, so maybe a $500 bike is fine for you. Still good quality, and a fine bike overall, but in terms of build quality and feel it's definitely a cheap(er) bike. So things like the derailleur, pedals, wheels, frame, etc are on the lower end. They're pretty much a $500 bike with $500 of electric parts. ![]() ![]() Then, use the “People You May Know” feature to find more people you might have missed from the same school, company, or from your industry. Start by importing all of your phone contacts on LinkedIn and sending them a connection request. There are many different ways to grow your LinkedIn network, but the first and most reliable way is by connecting with people you already know.Īnd, luckily, there’s a very easy way to find them on LinkedIn. #4: Gather Connections from People You Know Make sure what you’re asking to be endorsed is something they’ve seen you do, complete, or that appears on your LinkedIn profile, otherwise, this approach might not be too effective. It doesn’t have to be a long message, you can just send your connections a quick: “Hey, mind endorsing me for X project/skill?”. It’ll turn into a “✓.”Īfterward, ask them to return the favor and endorse one of your skills or projects.Īnother way to get endorsements is by directly asking for them. Do this by scrolling down to the 'Skills & endorsements' section on their profile, finding the specific skill you want to endorse them for, and pressing the “+” button next to it. Start with your closest coworkers, friends, and family on LinkedIn, as they’re most likely to return the favor. Well, the best way is through endorsing others. So the more endorsements you get, the more credible your online profile looks. LinkedIn endorsements are a way for your colleagues and connections to attest to your expertise in a specific field or skill. Sift through the search results and choose a number of roles you’re interested in. Go to LinkedIn’s Job Board and filter your search by experience level, job type, geography, etc. Find the exact jobs you’re interested in.Here are some tips that’ll help you pick the right headline keywords for your situation: Your LinkedIn headline helps you do two main things: show up in recruiters’ LinkedIn searches and show them what you’re up to in an instant. If possible, consider getting your professional headshot taken. So, implement these tips when making your LinkedIn profile to build the best possible personal brand for yourself: Add a Professional-Looking, Friendly Profile PictureĪs a rule of thumb, pick a high-quality picture where you look neat and clean, smiling, and located near the camera. If, however, you want to stand out from thousands of other applicants on the platform, you also have to optimize it. So, make sure to add the following sections to your LinkedIn profile:įilling up your LinkedIn profile is only step #1. So, if an employer looks up your job title, you’re more likely to pop up on page #1 if your profile is completely filled out.Įven if this wasn't the case, having a half-filled LinkedIn profile is like having a half-page resume.Īnyone that visits your profile is going to think that you just don't have much to say about yourself professionally. Why? Because LinkedIn prioritizes complete profiles over empty ones. Meaning, all the sections on your profile are filled in and there are no gaps and blank spaces. ![]() If you haven’t already, make sure your LinkedIn profile is completely filled out. Here are the 7 essential tips you need to follow to become a LinkedIn networking expert: #1: Complete Your Profile In fact, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. You might even have some connections as part of your network from your last job or university…īut that’s far from everything you can do to take advantage of LinkedIn to build new connections and really take your career to the next level! ![]() You probably already have a LinkedIn account… In this guide, we’ll be going through 7+ best tips you can use to upgrade your LinkedIn profile, expand your professional connections, and network on LinkedIn like a pro. Truth is, using LinkedIn can be confusing, especially if you’re just getting started.Īfter all, the platform doesn’t come with a manual on how you can build a professional description, approach recruiters, gain followers, or foster your professional ties. Nonetheless, this wide reach doesn’t make connecting with people and networking on LinkedIn an easy process.

It’s best to upgrade fully all the buildings in this area because you will be crafting, A LOT.Īllows you to craft or transmute materials. This is the place where you spend your hard earned materials. I run my missions solely for Conquest Points, that’s 4-Battle 2, and 4-Espionage 1.Īllows you to craft weapons that are useful for late-game. I’d say only put one Breath of Orbis into each building. You don’t have to upgrade the buildings here too much. The stamina requirement for these missions is not much so they provide good value per stamina. The High Command is used for taking your heroes on missions to collect resources, giving them a little bit of EXP as well. ![]() I recommend just using Stigma to summon penguins and just focus on summoning Phantasms. Summoning a penguin is also necessary for the daily quest for Three Sisters’ Diary reputation. If you’re having trouble promoting your heroes, check out this article on the fastest way to get to 6★. The Forest of Souls allows you to summon Phantasms, which are used for promoting your heroes to 6★, and penguins which can be sold for a decent amount of gold. You’ll notice later on in the game the enormous amount of gold sinks! This building is useful in the early game for generating gold that you need for enhancing weapons and the dozen other things gold is used for. The Heart of Orbis gives you passive income with a small chance to double the amount every time. What are the different areas in the Sanctuary useful for? Heart of Orbis Maybe eventually we’ll be able to max out our Sanctuary! ![]() It’s highly likely that the developers are going to sneak more Breath of Orbis into future content, so keep an eye out for them. There are more Breath of Orbis in the AP Shop of the new continent, but only about two. You’ll have to defeat the boss outside as well to actually obtain the Breath of Orbis. After you defeat the boss within, a Breath of Orbis will drop. ![]() The enemies inside the Chaos Gate shouldn’t be too difficult to defeat. You’ll notice that every Breath of Orbis is contained inside a Chaos Gate. You can look for them on the map by their icon next to the picture of the stage (shown in the picture above). That makes for a total for 24 Breath of Orbis that you can obtain from these missions. There are twelve places you can get Breath of Orbis in normal mode, and then twelve more in the same locations in hard mode (Unrecorded History side story). In the early game, Heart of Orbis and Forest of Souls are really important. These are the areas you should focus your Breath of Orbis upgrades on, in order of priority: Heart of Orbis, Forest of Souls, High Command, Steel Workshop, and Alchemist’s Steeple. Doing the math, that’s 45 Breath of Orbis that you’ll potentially need to max everything! So, since we can’t max it all, It may be hard to decide exactly which buildings to upgrade. ![]() There are five areas in the Sanctuary, with three buildings per area, and a maximum of three upgrades per buildings. There are only a limited amount of Breath of Orbis that you can use for Sanctuary upgrades (about two dozen as of August 19, 2019). ![]() ![]() ![]() Indeed, placement changes are all too common, with 35% of young people experiencing more than two placements (Casey Family Programs, 2018). foster care system is placement disruption. Although removal is sometimes the only option for ensuring a young person’s safety, the act itself can be traumatic (Mitchell & Kuczynski, 2010).Īnother source of potential trauma for young people in the U.S. Research suggests that such adverse experiences can be traumatic, meaning they can be “experienced by an individual as physically or emotionally harmful or life threatening and … lasting adverse effects on the individual’s functioning and mental, physical, social, emotional, or spiritual well-being” (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Trauma and Justice Strategic Initiative, 2012, p.

The mean decrease in scores was 12.07 with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 8.60 to 15.55. ![]() Results: Responses from the Child and Adolescent Trauma Screen showed a significant decrease in posttraumatic stress symptoms when comparing pre-treatment scores (M = 25.64, SD = 7.85) to post-treatment scores (13.57, SD = 5.30), t(13) = 7.50, p < .001. A paired-sample t-test was conducted to evaluate the impact of the intervention for the 14 patients who completed treatment. Methods: Patient data were collected retrospectively from the electronic health records of 46 patients who received telehealth TF-CBT between March 2020 and April 2021, and feedback was sought via focus group from 7 of the clinic’s mental health providers. The current study sought to address this gap by examining outcomes for patients who received telehealth TF-CBT, along with factors that may have impacted successful completion, at an integrated primary care clinic exclusively serving young people in care. Studies have yet to examine the feasibility of telehealth TF-CBT with young people in care. A few studies have found that the clinical outcomes of telehealth TF-CBT are comparable to those found from clinic-based, in-person treatment administration. One strategy for alleviating barriers to such treatments is using telehealth. Purpose: Despite the high rate of trauma exposure among young people with child welfare involvement, various systematic and patient barriers exist that inhibit utilization of evidence-based trauma treatments. ![]() ![]() ![]() You are allergic to ondansetron or similar medicines (dolasetron, granisetron, palonosetron).

The term NMO spectrum disorder (NMOSD) has been adopted to reflect the clinical, serological, and radiological diversity. In anti-AQP4-IgG-seropositive patients, partial clinical (e.g., only myelitis) and MRI findings have been recognized, while conversely, NMO-like MRI findings and clinical features can occur in anti-AQP4-IgG-seronegative patients, sometimes with anti-MOG antibodies. Other sites of CNS involvement not restricted to the optic nerves or spinal cord have been described in AQP4-IgG-seropositive patients such as the diencephalon, brainstem, and brain hemispheric white matter. The high specificity of AQP4-IgG has permitted recognition of a wider spectrum of clinical and radiologic features related to NMO.
