So there’s two parts to that business. We have the systems business, which are primarily windows, doors, framing systems, curtain wall, that’s part of the business. And then the cladding system Reynobond is included in BCS. Then there’s a third product line called, Reynolux, which is similar to Reynobond, it just doesn’t have the core between the aluminum. So, yes, included.

Concord’s backup systems include a diesel generator that runs one elevator, the emergency lighting, the fire pump, and the air-conditioning system. That night, the radiator on the diesel generator blew out and could not be repaired after several hours of attempts. Losing the main power and the backup generator meant all elevators were out of service, the fire pump was not working, and the sewer pumps could not work so toilets could not be flushed; sewage began to back up. People began to experience heat-related and sanitary health issues. The Northlake (IL) Fire Protection District was dispatched to the building for a fire alarm activation and on arrival noticed a complete lack of power to the building. Because of the serious safety hazards, the owner was given one hour to repair the generator or begin an evacuation. Evacuation began at 2115 hours.

The other three Palestinians killed on Friday were identified by Gaza’s health ministry as Ahmad Nabil Abu Aqel, 20, Ahmad Rashad al-Athamna, 24, and Saad Abd al-Majid Abd al-Al Abu Taha, 29.

In an effort to avoid exceeding those numbers, there will be extended opening hours and services at local minor injury units and in some primary care centres in a bid to keep people away from A&E over the busy period.

Until Hurricane Katrina, hospitals were the main focus of evacuation planning. Now, however, skilled nursing and nursing homes’ needs and potential impacts have emerged.3 Sheltering in place and evacuation both carry risk. While preparing evacuation plans, transportation and decision making remain two issues requiring more work. Although United States nursing homes are required to maintain an evacuation plan, compliance is not always robust.4 Evacuation in assisted living (supportive living) also varies greatly. In an emergency, "implicit in the decision-making process is the ability for the facility to safely shelter residents for a prolonged period of time." (3)

San Francisco leaders had been hoping to build sites in the city by this summer. But fears of federal prosecution put the brakes on the effort, and then Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed a bill that would have shielded the workers from being prosecuted under state-level drug laws.

PennDesign has appointed Ralph Lemon, a choreographer, writer, visual artist and curator, to be the Keith L. and Kathy Sachs Visiting Professor in the department of fine arts for the 2018-2019 academic year.

The startup developed an advanced retail automation platform, which identifies customers’ shopping items, aiming to create an accurate and seamless checkout process. The system recognizes that the customer wants to buy an item when he holds it or puts it into his shopping cart. If the customer puts it back, the system will register this and delete it from his purchase list. Trigo’s technology, which the company says has a 99.5 percent accuracy rate, combines a ceiling-based camera network with machine vision algorithms to identify the customer’s correct shopping items while they are in the store.

Researchers say that the case was a rare event, never seen before, and that there is no evidence of this problem in cells engineered by Novartis, other drug companies or other research centers.

My point was rather that Scott wants it both ways. When the President says it’s an epidemic and we need to commit funds, it’s (rightfully) described as not a problem and being blown out of proportions in order to fuel the drug war. But when Seattle can’t possibly shield and fund an SIF headed by an ex-Mayor, which is totally not crony capitalism*, the epidemic is something we should care about and really want communities to set up SIFs to combat.
