It has become evident that the spaces we inhabit have changed. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to appreciate values as lighting, ventilation, and comfort when working in home.

This has sparked interest in remodeling and adapting residential spaces to fit the new conditions and needs. That is why we have compiled a list of built projects in Mexico so that you can immerse yourself in the different spatial solutions that respond to particular conditions.

Our clients, a couple with two sons, moved to CUPA ---Centro Urbano Presidente Aleman, the first modernist residential complex in Mexico-- 15 years ago. Their apartment has 55 m in two levels. In the access level (12m) the kitchen and dining room and in the lower level (43m) a space without partition walls for the three beds, the tv, a sofa, an enclosed bathroom/laundry room, their bikes and lots of boxes where they store their clothes and other belongings. After analyzing the current state of the apartment, the main issues that we identified were the lack of privacy, lack of storage space and the deterioration of floors, stuccos, doors and windows.

Taking advantage of the geometry of the existing structure, a configuration system was proposed by placing cubic wooden elements that house the private spaces, thus organizing different programs. This not only allowed to create of cozy and comfortable spaces for private areas, but it also managed to generate a modular design that could be replicated to generate apartments of different sizes and configurations, adapting to the needs of the market and allowing to take advantage of the reticular condition of the building.

The main objective of the intervention was not to alter the original image of the building and focused on: lightening the building and reinforcing the structure; and replacement of interior and exterior finishes. It was re-cemented and stiffening frames were installed at all levels. In the housing levels, the interior walls were demolished to lighten the structure and give continuity to the space.

This single-family design apartment is located in the west side of Mexico City, in the context of a new and dense urban fabric. The project, although in a new area of development and in a relatively new building, was received in an unacceptable state of conservation and a wasted distribution of resources. The proposed renovation presented an opportunity to enhance a typical luxury apartment with more than the design of its interiors but rather the design of a new living system.

The remodeling started with the clear perspectivethat interiors area fair representation of the lifestyle of the user. Thus, an apartmentthat once belonged to a grandmother and was inherited by a young single graphic designer. Hecommissioned us this project in which, after cleaning and dismantling thecarpets and ceilings, we found a perfectly polished concrete surface. This surfacewas sealed and left exposedin public areas. A reticulated ribbed slab gave us extra 30 cms, plus the depth of the caissons. This slab was cleaned, left exposed and on it runs the exposed wiring. Finally, we decided to leave the walls bare almost throughout the entire apartment.

The remodeling proposal was raised for a retired couple (Nicanor and Marisela) in search of transforming their space; a home that had a widely functional and practical character. In addition to making the most of every corner of the apartment. Located on the first floor of six levels, the apartment is provided with lighting and ventilation through a central light cube. The first premise consisted in painting the walls in white to understand the light baths inside. In addition to this, the essence of the project responds to the verticalities that in turn configure the different spaces that make up the department.

An apartment from the 60's, originally planned by the Russian architect Vladimir Kasp in a central area of Mexico City, is radically transformed by Zeller & Moye with the aim of restoring the modernist spirit of its original designer, while at the same time incorporate the needs of a contemporary family life. The 250 square meter house, which is part of a modernist multi-family housing block, is developed along two levels with helical staircases that favor the character of the apartment's spatial fluidity.

This project consists of an architectural rehabilitation of a building dating from the late nineteenth century, located in the historic center of the city of Puebla, Mexico. The rehabilitation work consisted of a restructuring of roofs, original roofs of the beam system of wood, mostly collapsed due to the complete abandonment of the building for 23 years, the rehabilitation consisted of the restructuring of new roofs in a losacero system in approximately half of the roofs of the three levels, this restructuring was done to maintain the original reading of the building with respect to the heights of the mezzanines and the original spatial distributions.

This project is about extending and improving the houses whose original composition has a single bedroom; these houses are overcrowded, generating situations of violence and tension, especially against women. With the construction of this additional room we will be protecting them, thereby generating a condition of well-being and prosperity for half of the population. In order to reduce overcrowding in houses, the INFONAVIT, implemented the "Un Cuarto Ms" (One More Room) strategy, which aims to benefit more than two million people in urban areas of Mexico. The main objective of this strategy is the development of prototypes that offer solutions of efficiency in cost, time and extension.

A housing expansion prototype that aims to add a 16 sqm room, on the roof of social houses that currently have problems of overcrowding, as they originally have only one bedroom.As this is a construction proposed in wood, it seeks to explore this material from its structural aspect, insulation, light, and a logical building system. In addition to it, this prototype opens a research around the potential of this resource to activate a sustainable economy in the country, which with the correct use of its forests and jungles, new local economies can be detonated, as well as schemes that can focus on the housing crisis, unemployment, and social marginalization.

The building is located in the Colonia Roma, a historic neighbourhood in the central sector of Mexico City. La Roma developed in the 19th century as one of the first extensions of the city centre, with an orthogonal grid of large houses inhabited by the upper classes of the city. With the emergence of suburban life in the 50s, la Roma decreased its population throughout the second half of the 20th century, getting to its worst with earthquake of 1985. The project builds on the initiative of the Urban Recyclingstart-up; the initiative is challenging: build housing on a listed building of historical value, without any parking area in a city where the car is the king-, and incorporating commercial area in the main floor, in a culture where such condition is typically associated to the reality of the lower social classes, and not understood as an indispensable element for building urban quality.

We uncovered the layers of history of the old La Cubana Chocolate Factory that was founded in 1872 and worked until 2004 in the Santa Mara la Ribera neighborhood. In this way, we rehabilitate and integrate a housing dynamic with mixed uses and changes in scale. Because of its location and its historical background, this colony has developed neighborhood traditions and uses around a Moorish kiosk.

Sobi to present new data at the ASH 2021 Annual Meeting – PRNewswire

Posted: at 9:54 pm

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sobi will present new data at the 63rd Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) taking place from 11-14 December 2021. Sobi's commitment to developing innovative treatments for people living with rare diseases is highlighted in studies spanning several rare disorders, including haemophilia, paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH), chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) and haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH).

For the first time, the PRINCE phase 3 data on pegcetacoplan in adults with PNH who are treatment nave meaning they had not received a complement inhibitor within three months before entering the study will be presented.

"We look forward to presenting data from the PRINCE study for the first time, evaluating the efficacy and safety of pegcetacoplan in people living with PNH who are treatment nave," said Ravi Rao, Head of Research & Development and Chief Medical Officer at Sobi. "We are also excited to be able to collaborate and connect in person at this year's annual meeting."

In addition to the PRINCE data, a new post-hoc analysis on pegcetacoplan in patients who were either treatment nave or still experiencing anaemia on treatment with the C5 inhibitor eculizumab will be presented.

In haemophilia A, new data on efanesoctocog alfa, previously known as BIVV001, will be presented. Efanesoctocog alfa, an investigational once-weekly factor therapy for people with haemophilia A, has the potential to provide high sustained factor VIII activity and near-normal factor levels for the majority of the week. Efanesoctocog alfa represents a potential new class of factor replacement treatment. Currently in phase 3 development in partnership with Sanofi, the new data from a post-hoc analysis of phase 1/2 studies will add more clarity on the new mechanism of half-life extension of efanesoctocog alfa by evaluating the independency of its pharmacokinetics from von Willebrand factor.

Sobi will also present new data from the pilot study of Gamifant (emapalumab), a fully human, anti-interferon gamma (IFN) monoclonal antibody, in patients with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) developing MAS. These data demonstrate the pathogenic role of IFN in MAS/sJIA and the therapeutic value of IFN neutralisation in patients with MAS who have failed standard therapy with high-dose glucocorticoids. Additionally, new exposure-safety analyses of data obtained from the pivotal trial of Gamifant in patients with primary HLH will be presented.

The Ataka-Shorokh (right) and Ataka-DBS (left) C-UAV systems. (Dmitry Fediushko)

Russia's Ataka-Shorokh acoustic detector of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has completed factory trials, state corporation Rostec announced in October.

The system has fully completed its factory acceptance trials, which confirmed its functioning, including under harsh weather conditions, said Rostec.

The Ataka-Shorokh station is equipped with microphones and features software to analyse the environment and detect approaching UAVs. According to Rostec, the device was tested both separately and as a part of the Ataka-DBS and Ataka-Trophy counter-unmanned aerial vehicle (C-UAV) systems.

When integrated with the Ataka-DBS, the Ataka-Shorokh acoustically detects a UAV at distances between 150 and 500 m, and the main system can then jam the UAV's satellite navigation datalink. As part of a multilayer security network, the device can cue cameras to focus on the noise source.

The Ataka-DBS mast-mounted C-UAV system detects UAVs and suppresses their control, datalink, and navigation channels at distances of up to 1,500 m. It has a modular structure and can integrate additional jamming modules.

Gruyere to dive deeper with mine-life extension – Australian Mining

Posted: at 3:05 pm

Image: Gold Road Resources

The Gruyere gold mine in Western Australia is set to become one of the deepest open cut gold mines in Australia as Gold Fields and Gold Road Resources plot an extension of the joint venture mines life.

Through the design of an open pit comprising two additional mine stage areas, Gruyere will deepen to an approximate depth of 500 metres below the surface.

This will see the life of the open pit extended until 2032, as Gold Road and Gold Fields set their sights on an average gold production of 350,000 ounces per annum into the future.

It comes as the two companies announced updated ore reserves for Gruyere.

As of the end of September, the Gruyere open pit ore reserve totalled 110.4 million tonnes at 1.28 grams per tonne of gold for 4.54 million ounces.

This is a 31 per cent increase of 1.07 million ounces following the depletion of approximately 210,000 ounces during 2021.

This is a material increase in ore reserves that further establishes Gruyere as a Tier 1 gold mine, Gold Road managing director and chief executive officer Duncan Gibbs said.

The update is the culmination of multiple comprehensive high-quality studies undertaken by the Gruyere joint venture.

Between 2019 and 2021, Gold Road and Gold Fields have conducted extensive analysis into Gruyeres greater potential.

Following geotechnical drilling and analysis, Gruyere will see a steepening of its overall fresh rock slope angles by four degrees. Metallurgical drilling and test work has confirmed consistent wealth within the orebody at depth.

Gold Road and Gold Fields will look at implementing two independent dual lane ramping systems to support Gruyeres deepening, enabling increased operational flexibility.

Options studies have been completed to assess potential expansions of tailings storage capacity to meet the increased mine production.

Gruyere produced 59,371 ounces of gold (on a 100 per cent basis) in the September quarter, an increase from 53,132 ounces in the three months prior.

Why the Air Force Needs the Fighting Falcon – The National Interest

Posted: at 3:05 pm

The Mitchell Institute of Aerospace Studies recently published a study that recommends the rapid retirement and divestiture of the Air Forces fourth-generation fighter jets.

Despite calling for wholly divesting those fourth-generation platforms, the study, titled theFuture Fighter Force Our Nation Requires: Building a Bridge, recommends that the Air Force keep large numbers of the F-16 Fighting Falcon. Why? One pressing reason, apart from the fact that it costs less to operate a Fighting Falcon when compared with fifth-generation platforms, may relate to the success of the Fighting Falcon modernization program and its service life extension program (SLEP).

Todays Fighting Falcon dates back as far as the 1970s, a circumstance that raises questions as to how the combat aircraft has sustained its combat relevance and performance intotodays modernand vastly moresubstantialthreat environment.The SLEP improved the upper wing skin and fittings. Additionally, it adjusted the bulkhead and canopy.

Part of the equation relates to an effort to integrate some of the F-35 fighter jets technologies into the Fighting Falcon such as an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar.The radar allows the Fighting Falcon to find, detect and track enemy threats at greater ranges. SLEP is expected to extend the flight time of Fighting Falcons from roughly six thousand to seven thousand flight hours all the way to eight thousand or more flight hours. On top of that, the upgrades have prompted the Air Force to have the Fighting Falcon fly up to twelve thousand hours. Lockheed Martin, which developed the AESA radar, claims it can track as many as twenty targets at one time, a scenario that allows the Fighting Flacon to be more effective inmajor-power warfare.

Thus, the AESA radar is a massive upgrade beyond themechanically-scannedradar previously carried by the Fighting Falcons. The AESA radar can scan in a 360-degree sphere that includes horizontal, vertical and diagonal vectors. In recent years, the Fighting Falcon has received new cockpit avionics such as moving map displays, video in the cockpit, digital graphics screens and new target tracking systems. Upgraded Fighting Falcons use a high level of onboard automation designed to free up a pilots workload.

Its notable that Lockheed Martin isnt only focused on these upgrades. The company has been building a new F-16VViper variant that uses new computers, software,a high-definition cockpit display. Also, the V model comes with a new data bus, electronic warfare suite, missile warning sensor and helmet-mounted cueing system. This is the technical starting point for Lockheed Martins next-generation F-21, which will be specifically built for India. The F-21 will have the AESA radar and anext-generation targeting systemknown as Infrared Search and Track (IRST) technology. IRST, which is used extensively in F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jets, is a passive, long-range sensor that searches for and detects infrared emissions. Much like the AESA, the IRST can track multiple targets at once and operate in an electromagnetic warfare environment. IRST is a passive, long-range sensor, that will allow the Fighting Falcon to conduct air-to-air targeting.

These innovative upgrades to the Fighting Falcon might not enable it to rival Russian or Chinese fifth-generation stealth fighter jets. Still, these upgrades may explain why the study recommends holding on to the Fighting Falcons.

Upgrades are underway on Binghamton’s weather radar – WBNG-TV

Posted: at 3:05 pm

MAINE (WBNG) -- Crews got to work early Thursday morning taking apart Binghamton's radar in order to get access to vital elements as part of an initiative to keep the radar operational for years to come.

"This is part of the service life extension program so they replace the pedestal, the moving parts and that will extend the life of the radar another twenty years if not more" explained Dave Nicosia, the Meteorologist-in-charge at the National Weather Service (NWS) office in Binghamton.

Nicosia told 12 News, "It is really important for us as meteorologists so we can provide accurate warnings to the public. This radar is a gem here...This is part of our mission here is to maintain this radar for the general public...(and) warn them of severe weather."

Extending the lifespan of the radar is critical to this community as all of the radar data for the Twin Tiers comes from the site just down the road from the Greater Binghamton Airport. That includes the data that mobile apps use and along with different websites.

Officials from the NWS told 12 News the hope is to get the radar back up and operational by Nov. 3.

Coffee has been scientifically proven to be relatively healthy.

Widely popular as the primary way people get antioxidants in their bodies, coffee is also beneficial for many health conditions. Heart disease, type 2 diabetes, Parkinsons disease, some types of cancer, and depression are but a few that coffee might help you with.

Moreover, coffee-drinkers even have statistically lengthier lifespans in comparison to their coffee-avoidant counterparts.

Yet, not all types of coffee are produced organically. Some are made with the help of chemicals, pesticides, and other cancerogenic substances, which might have undesired side effects.

If you want to know how to distinguish top-tier brands from the subpar ones, keep reading to find out which are considered the healthiest and tastiest coffee brands in 2021.

If we consider availability, reachability, and convenience, we cannot overlook the coffee brands offered on Amazon. After all, most people worldwide use this company precisely to get products that, ordinarily, arent within their reach. What follows are the best, healthiest coffee brands we managed to find on Amazon:

Laird Superfoods coffee is an instant coffee that can immediately warm your soul when mixed into hot water!

However, containing ingredients like coconut milk powder, aquamin, organic extra virgin coconut oil, freeze-dried Arabica instant coffee powder, and organic coconut sugar, it will undoubtedly be good for your health too!

You can even get a non-dairy creamer to mix into your packet!

Laird Superfood Instafuel is the perfect union of healthy and easy-to-make coffee.

Most premium coffee companies focus on promoting whole beans, but not Life Extension and its Rainforest Blend.

Ground to a fine powder, this Arabica coffee also features a unique packaging. Compressed and packed efficiently Life Extension keeps its freshness at all times while helping the environment lower carbon emissions.

Whats more, it helps the internal environment of your organism too! It retains even more antioxidants than most other types of coffee, including polyphenols and other compounds beneficial for your stomach.

Javitas Burn + Control Coffee is one of those brands which effectively and powerfully combine the deliciousness of coffee with a potent and natural weight loss agent.

Robusta and Arabica coffee blends mixed with yerba mate and Garcinia Cambogia provide you with a final product that will help you trim down your waist while enjoying your favorite beverage.

Javitas Focus Fusion Cocoa is not even a coffee!

Although it is a cocoa blend with some healthy herbs mixed in (and devoid of any artificial sweeteners, flavors, or additives), it still brings you the main pleasures you usually get from coffee alertness, concentration, and focus!

Carefully crafted, healthy, and relatively easy to prepare and consume (its an instant coffee!), you can get 24 servings for about $16.

Yet another Javita coffee! Guess they know what theyre doing! This one Lean + Green is primarily focused on promoting weight loss while prioritizing the drinkers health.

Lean + Green is coffee combined with Gymnema Sylvestre, Garcinia Cambogia, and sencha green tea full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. This concoction, too, is consumed as an instant drink mix it with water, sit back, and relax!

The name of this brand does sound weird yet you neednt worry! These types of mushroom, lions mane, and chaga mushroom extract not only enhance your coffees taste but significantly increase its health benefits too!

These ingredients have numerous perks, one of which lowers your stress. A coffee that could do that sounds ideal, doesnt it?

A box of 10-single servings of Four Sigmatic Foods Mushroom Instant Coffee can be bought on Amazon. With more than 9.800+ reviews, its average rating is 4.5 stars out of 5.

When we ranked these coffee and coffee brands, we prioritized the genuinely highest-quality blends from the falsely advertised and inferior entries.

To successfully execute such a feat, we resorted to abiding by the following criteria:

While the particular location where the coffee was farmed is not a clear indicator of its quality, we insisted on the brands being upfront about the production process, the farming conditions, and all other relevant information.

Since not all consumers will always be equally satisfied with a product, we preferred brands that offer a refund option. This shows a respectful attitude towards the buyers.

Needless to say, when coffee was the only ingredient in a coffee product, we considered that an automatic guarantee of quality. Yet, if the product featured healthy additions, such as extracts from plants, slimming agents, or boosters, we thought such efforts at making coffee healthier were worthy of respect.

Coffee prices vary significantly. Regardless of whether the product veers closer to $5 or $50, we were transparent about it so that customers can always know what they get for their money.

Another thing we paid the utmost attention to was the process of preparation. Some coffee takes minutes, while others take hours to make. We wanted to let our readers know which were which.

Professional tasters went through a multitude of coffee products to discern the best flavors that brands could offer. We prioritized recommending the tastiest coffee.

Another bonus that some coffee brands took pride in was the number of different options they offered. Diverse flavors, weight-loss additions, or additional products allow a company to cater to a broader audience.

None of these factors would matter if the coffee were harmful to your organism.

Fortunately it isnt!

Regular coffee intake is shown to significantly reduce the risk of diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, or stroke.

Heal the Harvester: Extension partners to address mental health challenges for farmers and ranchers | Oklahoma State University – Oklahoma State…

Posted: at 3:05 pm

Tuesday, October 26, 2021

Media Contact: Gail Ellis | Communications Specialist, Copywriter | 620-515-2498 | gail.ellis@okstate.edu

In a profession that involves backbreaking labor, life-altering financial decisions and the favor of Mother Nature, farmers and ranchers are especially vulnerable to mental health issues.

The number of Oklahomans who struggle with a mental health condition such as anxiety or depression jumped 25% during the pandemic, according to the Oklahoma-based, nonpartisan Healthy Minds Policy Initiative. The initiative also reports the states rural suicide rate has increased 27% since 2017, compared with a 3% rise in urban areas. Thats why the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry requested help from the Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences and OSU Extension to develop Heal the Harvester, a Project ECHO line of assistance for rural Oklahomans. Hundreds of Project ECHO programs worldwide connect community providers with support specialists through virtual sessions on learning and mentorship. OSUs Project ECHO offers several training courses on topics, such as addiction medicine and pediatric psychiatry.

Heal the Harvester launched in October to help increase awareness of needs and resources to support rural residents experiencing mental health crises.

Life in agriculture is sometimes tough and isolating, said Oklahoma Secretary of Agriculture Blayne Arthur. Producers are certainly some of the most resilient people, but natural disasters, disease, retailer demands, market uncertainties and misconceptions, and a seemingly growing list of other issues, wear on everyone.

While OSUs Project ECHO provides the management and information technology infrastructure for Heal the Harvester, OSUs Jason Beaman facilitates video sessions on mental health education and consultation for Extension educators. Beaman is chair of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at OSUs Center for Health Sciences and the executive director of training and education for OSUs National Center for Wellness and Recovery.

Extension educators interacting with farmers and ranchers on the ground is paramount, he said. When someone comes into a county Extension office with schizophrenia, or a rancher is going to lose his ranch because of alcohol disease, educators can offer information and support. We want to equip educators with the skills to do their daily jobs even better.

The education segment of each biweekly video session involves a 15- to-20-minute lecture followed by designated time for Extension educators to discuss real cases of farmers or ranchers in need of mental health assistance. Beaman answers questions and directs educators to therapists, physicians and other mental health professionals.

Damona Doye, associate vice president of OSU Extension, said helping health care providers reach people in rural areas where access is limited is a blessing to many families. Educators naturally connect with farmers and ranchers, families and youth.

Addressing mental health issues contributes to our mission of providing practical, research-informed knowledge for communities, Doye said. Weve assisted in this educational area throughout my career, dating back to challenges experienced during the financial crisis. The pandemic has added to everyones stress, and we want to assist.

Beaman has also conducted research that shows the opioid epidemic, often a factor in mental health struggles, has affected more residents and spread faster in rural counties than any other demographic.

Farmers and ranchers have a strong work ethic that sometimes works against them, Beaman said. When they are injured and are instructed to take it easy, they take medication to work through the pain. Opioids block the pain the body uses to signal a need for rest.

As the Heal the Harvester program progresses, Beaman plans to identify three county Extension offices that can offer telemedicine services. Heal the Harvester training is funded through support from ODAFF and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In addition to the program, Arthur said there are other resources available that also address the unique challenges of production agriculture.

Reach out, check in, lighten a load, have a conversation with a friend, Arthur said. We are all in this together.

More information about Heal the Harvester is available online.
