The landscape is fully integrated into the project with specimen trees and bushes connecting the various outdoor spaces. The approach from the street up a steep driveway leads to a generous drive court where a relaxed limestone stair continues the climb to the entry of the home. The main living and dining space opens completely on both sides, allowing for cross ventilation, and the sense of being outdoors, while still sheltered from the elements.

POOL & SPA NEWS

Paul McClean is a member of the American Institute of Architects and is a licensed architect in several States including California. I feel that we have been very fortunate these last few years and have managed to complete many new homes. I have always enjoyed working with different people and am constantly amazed by the different and varied backgrounds of our clients.

ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST

For as long as I can remember I have been infatuated with the art of creation and building at all scales. My grandma loved to tell the story of how I would beg and beg for this toy or that and when it was not handed to me, I would just make my own. I was lucky to have been raised in a family of artists, designers and builders who cultivated my passion and gave me the tools necessary for a career in architecture. I apprenticed as a carpenter, ironworker, and glazier and during this time gained a great appreciation of how design materializes and truly fell in love with architecture. I went on to work for many of the best residential architects in Southern California, helping to design and manage hundreds of single and multi-family residential projects across the U.S. and abroad. In 2019, I was given the opportunity to join McClean Design and jumped at the chance.

Los Angeles, CA

Completed in April 2013, this house, currently owned by an art collector, is located on San Vicente Boulevard in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles. The lot measures 31,466 square feet and does not offer a view, meaning that the residence is more focused on its garden. Because of traffic on the street, visual and noise buffers in the form of a landscape barrier, high gates, and a curved glass wall became a design priority. The wall leads to a waterfall used for further noise abatement and an infinity edge decorative pool. A unique feature is the master bedroom terrace glass floor, which is located over the outdoor living space, bringing extra natural light into the central kitchen area. The rear garden of the house, where the pool is located, has a pool house with a roof whose curvature echoes that of the roof of the main house.

PEOPLE

Every day since I have been challenged to push the envelope of design and construction and I am loving every minute. My love for drawingat an early age was a good indication that design and architecture would be inmy future. With over 22 years of architecturalexperience, I find myself at McClean Design working on one-of-a-kind luxurycustom homes. The uniqueness of each project brings out a high level ofcreativity as each property has its own challenges.

The World's Largest—and America's Priciest—Home Is Ready for Its Close-up - Architectural Digest

The World's Largest—and America's Priciest—Home Is Ready for Its Close-up.

On the upper level, the primary suite and two bedrooms open onto a terrace overlooking the harbor. Still more impressive are the 360-degree views from the roof terrace that encompass mountains to the north, sunsets over the ocean, and the distant blur of Catalina Island. The spirit of hedonism also flourishes on the lower level, in the pool with its water wall and padded seating alcove, in the sauna and driving simulator, and in a theater that any Hollywood producer would covet. Our projects reflect an interest in modern living and a desire to connect our clients to the beauty of the surrounding natural environment.

Laurel II House / McClean Design

A transparent entry bridge crosses over this water courtyard, leading to the living area in the direction of the rear outdoor infinity pool with views of Century City. The kitchen and family room open to the rear garden, while the dining room is contained in a glass area that bridges over the water courtyard. The triangular upper level pool has a shallow shelf that wraps around the master bedroom, creating a feeling that this part of the house is floating on water. A spa (gym and sauna) and fireplace are on the lower level, as are a bar and family lounge.

Architecture and Planning

Generous operable glazing gives the house a feeling of lightness and openness that is surely appropriate to the Los Angeles climate. Seen from the garden side, the house appears to be made up of a narrow black roof plane sitting above the pool, with walls largely made of glass. This is in direct contrast to the street side of the home, which is predominantly clad in limestone brick, giving only fleeting glimpses to the interior through a bronze lattice screen. Furnishing and finishes are soft and modern, with an emphasis on the white to beige color range.

MODERN LUXURY INTERIORS

The feeling below provides a significant contrast to the main floor, with a series of bedrooms and entertainment spaces, wrapping around the landscaped courtyard. I grew up in the South Bay/Long Beach region of Southern California and attended Long Beach City College before transferring to university where my curiosity for the profession grew. My interest in architecture stems from wanting to know how a project evolves from concept to reality through the design process. While here at McClean Design,I am seeing the importance ofdesign and itseffecton an individual through materiality, light, and connection to the natural environment.

Since joining McClean Design, I have been able to help on creating 3D models and presentations as well as developing the designs into working drawings. As I embark on this new chapter, I am committed to continue learning building and design to create environments that leave a lasting impression where every detail is thoughtfully considered. Passionate about design, I pursued architecture at Auburn University, discovering its power to impact lives and shape our perception of the world. At McClean Design, I've refined these sensibilities, aiding in transforming client programs into harmonious architectural reflections of their lives within the landscape. I enjoy carefully crafting distinctive spaces and managing large-scale projects with our talented team, aligning program, design, and client vision seamlessly from conception to completion. The opportunity to enrich lives through architecture is a calling I embrace, with the goal of leaving a positive lasting imprint on the world, one unique and artful project at a time.

Through thoughtful design, I aspire to create spaces that inspire and resonate with people on a profound level, making a positive impact in their lives. Since we established McClean Design in 2000, I have been responsible for managing the office and keeping everybody on their toes! My passion though, is interior design and I enjoy working with private clients in addition to collaborating on projects within our office.

A young entrepreneur commissioned McClean Design to build a house on a triple lot as a family retreat and a place to entertain their many friends. He and his interior designer, Lynda Murray, were eager to make a bold statement, and that gave the architects an opportunity to spread their wings. The square plot allowed them to devote the street frontage to a garden and a large garage. Translucent glass sheilds the garden from the street while revealing silhouettes of moving figures on the other side. Boldly figured white marble clads much of the exterior and is used extensively throughout the three-story house.

I look forward to the success and challenges ahead as I continue my professional journey in architecture and design. Doing all the things that Southern California has to offer, from camping/hiking in the mountains, relaxing at the beach, or playing sports at a local park. My architectural journey began during a transformative high school summer job at a Newport Beach cabinet shop. While working on custom houses, I discovered a profound passion for crafting unique homes. After high school, I dedicated myself to honing my artistic inclinations and further developing my woodworking skills.

This dual commitment deepened my appreciation for the interplay of design and construction, guiding me towards the path of architecture. This journey ultimately culminated in my graduation with honors from Newschool of Architecture and Design in San Diego. Today, I feel fortunate to be part of the visionary team at McClean Design, collaboratively driving the advancement of contemporary modern architecture. Beyond architecture, I enthusiastically pursue various passions – from the exhilaration of racing and the serenity of boating, to the challenge (and sometimes frustration) of golf. However, the moments I treasure most are those spent with my growing family and loved ones.

What Is Ikebana? The Mechanics of Ancient Japanese Floral Design

More than simply putting flowers in a container, ikebana is a disciplined art form in which nature and humanity are brought together. Contrary to the idea of a particoloured or multicoloured arrangement of blossoms, ikebana often emphasises other areas of the plant, such as its stems and leaves, and puts emphasis on shape, line, and form. Though ikebana is an expression of creativity, certain rules govern its form, such as the idea of good and evil fortune in the selection of material and form of the arrangement.

Think outside the vase with these creative ways to display cut flowers

However, since humanity, heaven, and the earth all share a common bond, they are connected through the floral arrangement that they’re all a part of. Even using a single type of plant, it’s possible to create an ikebana arrangement that looks overcrowded or lopsided (though keep in mind that this is sometimes the intent). Verticality also plays a crucial role in ikebana, and it is seen as lending strength to a floral arrangement. This is especially true if the flower stems are pointing straight up without being bowed by the force of gravity. However, ikebana is also about finding an existing shape in nature and helping to bring it out. To create the harmony that masterful ikebana displays are known for, you can’t fight against the plant to create something that you want to see in it.

As the antithesis to Rikka, flowers in Nageire arrangements were not designed to stand upright on their own and were instead placed in tall vases that supported the stems of the flowers. To prepare a basic Moribana arrangement, for example, the ikabanaist adds water to a shallow container, then places a kenzan—a small, pin-covered object that keeps flowers in place—within it. Then, the maker selects two branches, one for shin and one for soe, and a flower, for hikae. Next, each stem is measured and cut to precise lengths (which are specified in the Moribana beginner’s manual) and fixed, one at a time, on the kenzan, at different angles. To complete the arrangement, supplementary jushi stems are added to hide the kenzan and fill out the arrangement. These principles can be repeated over and over, shifting the placement and angles to achieve different shapes and effects.

Buying Guides

In the 17th century, the first publications and manuals on ikebana appeared. Today, several schools exist, and ikebana is widely taught and practiced in Japan. The word ikebana comes from the Japanese words ikeru (to arrange, be living, or have life) and hana (flower). Picture this creation from Trophy Blooms tucked beneath kitchen cabinets or on your island. If ikebana is beyond your skill level (no judgment at all), you can also take blooms off their stems and let them float in a shallow dish.

The Beauty of Simplicity: The Ikebana Principles

The Soe, or the second element/flower, should be two-thirds the size of the Shin and the Hikae (the third element or flower) should be half the size of the Shin. With a sharp and sturdy blade edge, it severs wood fibers cleanly resulting in faster healing cuts so the freshness of flowers lasts longer. Here, we speak to expert florists to learn more about ikebana and how you can make your own arrangement.

Because of over 200 years of being isolated from the world, Japan’s cultural practices of art didn’t change. When the country opened to foreign exchange in 1868, ikebanaists quickly incorporated Western customs into their floral arrangements and other Western customs into their culture. To prepare a Moribana arrangement, ikabanaists begin by adding water to a shallow vessel. After that, a small object used to keep flowers and other flora in place, called a kenzan, is placed in the container.

If you like the look of a particular pairing, then you can start pruning and clipping so that you can bring out the form that you see lying beneath the untrimmed branches of your arrangement. It’s essential to look at your arrangement with an artistic eye to see what you can create by working with the plant, instead of against it. Even if you just strategically prune the leaves on your ikebana arrangement, you can form a triangular shape that represents these three points.

While some arrangements might consist of a single flower and bare branches, others can incorporate several elements, including flowers and branches and other natural objects like moss, stones, leaves, and even fruit. Ikebana—the ancient Japanese art of flower arranging—is the newest craze spreading across L.A. The name comes from the Japanese “ike,” which means “arrange” and “bana,” which means “flower.” So, it’s a very literal translation of the exact practice. Ikebana started as a form of offering in Buddhism, but today, the trend is appreciated in secular works and revered by floral lovers of all types.

However, like many other art forms, mastering the basics is fundamental to any practice, and only then can a person begin to experiment. In ikebana, it is not enough to have beautiful materials if the materials are not artfully employed to create something even more beautiful. Given a skilled maker, one carefully placed flower can be just as powerful as an elaborate arrangement.

As a whole, ikebana floral arrangements should contain design elements or a triangular structure that symbolizes heaven, earth, and humanity existing in harmony. Three branches of different lengths, called shushi, represent these three symbolic elements. The longest branch (shin) symbolizes heaven, the medium-length branch (soe) represents humanity, and the shortest branch (hikae) symbolizes the earth. Another common but not exclusive aspect present in ikebana is the employment of minimalism. Some arrangements may consist of only a minimal number of blooms interspersed among stalks and leaves.

For a look that’s even more farmhouse chic, Hall tucked a couple of mason jar arrangements into a vintage drawer. “You could have this on a bedside table for yourself or for guests,” she says. In addition to ranunculus, Frazier recommends freesia and orchid blooms as other hardy flowers that would work well as napkin accents. Other schools include the Sogetsu School of Ikebana, which has been active in the Los Angeles area for more than 40 years. “I think it’s challenging to see what you can evoke with a small amount of materials,” she said.

Typically, a specific vessel is chosen because it is the best type of vessel for a particular type of flower. It should not only be beautiful, but the vessel should also be designed to help preserve the life of the flowers in your arrangement. Next, choose a shin branch, a soe branch, and a flower for your hikae elements. Fix each stem at the appropriate angle to the kenzen, and finally, fill out the design with supplementary stems, grass, or delicate foliage. The last thing you want to do is bring back a branch of poison ivy to include in your ikebana arrangement.

Simple floral arrangements were made as early as the 7th century, when Buddhism was introduced to Japan from China. It was the custom to place flowers before images of the Buddha, and over the centuries these floral offerings acquired a fairly elaborate form. In this article, Sato Sensei discusses the different styles of Ikebana, and includes some of the techniques and lessons that you will need to create your own floral art. Whether you’re new to Ikebana, or simply looking for inspiration, you will love this selection of incredible arrangements as well as the invaluable suggestions for creating your own.

Thanks to ikebana schools springing up worldwide, ikebana-style floral arrangements have become popular and shared in the Western world. With their unique aesthetics and elegant look, they’ve become a popular choice for gifts, celebrations, and various occasions. Today, in Japan alone, thousands of ikebana schools teach modern and traditional Japanese flower arrangement styles. Ikenobo Senkei, a Buddhist priest, founded the oldest ikebana school, Ikenobo, in the 15th century. Although it is not certain, it is thought that Senkei invented the rikka style of ikebana which incorporates seven branches and is characterized by standing flowers and more formal designs. Like any fine visual art, ikebana design uses movement, form, lines, weight, color, space, shape, balance, and harmony to create an elegant and visually pleasing result.

Their correct future will come automatically if they respond in the “now” to what life gives to them. When the Generator waits for life to present itself, they become like a magnetic black hole that attracts everyone and everything to them automatically. All things will come to the Generator in their own timing – they do not need to initiate action to try and make things happen. Everything that is designed for and is right for them will be attracted automatically.

Receiving my 260-page custom Human Design report, it was truly life-changing. The in-depth analysis and personalized insights helped me understand my strengths, challenges, and unique gifts. I've never felt more empowered and confident in my life choices, and I'm incredibly grateful for this incredible resource. The presence of a specific Channel in an individual's design does not inherently denote "good" or "bad" attributes; rather, it symbolizes certain tendencies, traits, or themes that may play out in their life. These can serve as potential areas of personal growth, challenges to overcome, or inherent strengths to lean into.

The nine centers and their themes are:

Generators usually initiate action because they are fearful that nothing will happen otherwise. If the Generator has the courage to wait they will learn very quickly that this fear is unfounded. Most of us have been taught, cajoled or brought up as children to believe that we must initiate action.

How To Read A Human Design Chart

Projectors, and some Manifesting Generators and Reflectors, can have what is called a Splenic Authority. Individuals with this Authority are guided by their Splenic Center, the center of intuition and instinct. This intuitive sense often communicates through quiet whispers or instant knowings, which are best followed in the moment as they can be fleeting. Sacral Authority is present in Generators and some Manifesting Generators with a defined Sacral Center.

Guidelines

It’s used to help us understand how we make decisions through our innate intuition, how to interact with the world, what our purpose is, and how to know if we’re living in alignment or not. The Not-Self Theme in the Human Design chart indicates the way an individual may experience life when not living in alignment with their true design. Each Type has a specific Not-Self Theme, which can serve as a signal that one is off track. Variable is a component of the Human Design system that provides an even more detailed level of individual differentiation. It is made up of four key elements – Tone, Base, Color, and Line – and represents how we are each designed to process information and make decisions. By studying the Channels in a Human Design chart, one can gain a deeper understanding of their inherent strengths, challenges, and themes that play out in their life.

Your Human Design chart is a valuable tool that can help you understand your true nature, discover your strengths and weaknesses, and unlock your full potential. Your family and loved ones also usually know the unconscious elements of who you are. As you will learn, defined centers have their own issues, but overall they are much easier to manage than the sometimes traumatic experiences of open centers. Gates become activated when connected to another Gate through a channel, forming a defined center. This connection signifies that the energy between those Gates is consistent and reliable in the person's design.

It helps individuals grasp how they are energetically wired to interact with the world, giving them a clearer perspective of their inherent strengths and potential challenges. In summary, Definition in Human Design is a vital concept that offers profound insights into an individual's consistent nature and relational dynamics. By understanding our Definition and that of others, we can better navigate our interactions, foster self-acceptance, and appreciate the unique wiring that each person brings to the world. In relationships, the areas where one person's Definition connects with another's open centers can lead to a sense of attraction, as well as potential areas of learning or conflict. Furthermore, where Definitions do not meet, a phenomenon called a "bridging gate" can occur. This gate might be unconsciously sought after in others, shaping a person's relational patterns.

Lastly, the sense of Touch is related to our tangible interaction with the world. This involves physical touch but also refers to the sense of connection and impact we have with others and the environment. Individuals with a strong sense of Touch might be highly affected by the physical and energetic 'touch' of their environments or interactions. For instance, a person with the Gate of Initiation (Gate 3) in their design might naturally embrace change and be inclined towards innovation. In contrast, someone with the Gate of Peace (Gate 58) might be driven by a desire for harmony and improvement in their environment. For Manifestors, the strategy is to inform others before making a decision or taking action.

Each of the 36 Channels carries a distinct archetype or theme that reveals specific characteristics, talents, and life themes of an individual. For instance, the Channel of Recognition (Channel 20-10) is about the recognition of values and the drive to act upon what one values. The Channel of The Beat (Channel 9-52) is related to concentration, focus, and the ability to process details. The Cave environment is for those who require personal space and seclusion for their well-being.

CT, 34 arrests have been made by law enforcement on the UT Austin campus, according to an X post from the Texas Department of Public Safety. The University of Texas at Austin Police Department said in a statement on X Wednesday evening that "the dispersal order at the South Mall has ended. All University rules are still in effect." Graffiti described as “hateful” has been painted on campus, the officials said. Work and classes will remain remote, and officials are considering keeping the campus closed for longer. Student reactions to calls for the college president's resignation have been mixed, Karam said.

The House vote “will make the United States of America richer, further ruin Ukraine and result in the deaths of even more Ukrainians, the fault of the Kyiv regime,” Peskov said, according to official Russian media. Russia, predictably, hammered on what has become a key talking point — that U.S. assistance would do little more than prolong a bloody confrontation. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also suggested that the main idea behind the package was to funnel money to U.S. weapons manufacturers.

Tinged the slightest tone of pink, the restaurant keeps things simple with a wonderful wine list and a tight menu of classics including onion soup, charcuterie, escargot, and a bavette steak. The seats outside underneath the Metro tracks are especially romantic. President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a statement of appreciation moments after the vote, which occurred late Saturday evening Ukraine time.

He thanked by name House Speaker Mike Johnson, the Louisiana Republican who had been heavily lobbied by Ukraine’s supporters to bring the measure to a vote despite bitter opposition from his party’s far-right flank. Chef Dean Yasharian takes French technique to the Los Angeles suburbs with Perle in Pasadena. The easygoing bistro serves classic French dishes either al la carte or as part of a four-course tasting menu. Guests can look forward to dishes including beef tartare, escargot, French onion soup, and steak frites. Le Champ is a sprawling wine bar in the Arts District serving outstanding French food. On the menu, find classics including jambon beurre, escargot, plus one of the best burgers in town.

The food is meant to match the vibes with caviar, clams with garlic and parsley butter, lobster saffron risotto, and more on the menu. Far more than just a specialty grocery store in the Original Farmer’s Market, Monsieur Marcel is also a full-service restaurant. With a plentiful wine list, oysters, cheeses, and all the classics, there may be no better way to refuel from an arduous day shopping at the Grove than at this friendly spot. This family-owned neighborhood French spot has been open in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood for over a decade. The interior is demure but cozy, with classic bistro touches like a brick-laden bar and glass chandelier. The menu sticks mainly to French classics with a duck leg confit, beef Bourguignon, duck rillettes, and more.

“I think this support will really strengthen the armed forces of Ukraine, and we will have a chance for victory,” Zelensky said through an interpreter. With the imminent arrival of aid, though, Ukrainian forces “will likely be able to blunt the current Russian offensive assuming the resumed U.S. assistance arrives promptly,” the institute said. U.S. and Ukrainian officials said resupply efforts could take place relatively quickly, because of supply chains and logistical networks established early in the more than two-year-old conflict. The Los Angeles Police Department arrested approximately 50 protestors at the University of Southern California after campus police gave a dispersal order to demonstrators, according to a CNN crew at the scene.

Dine at Westwood’s Violet Bistro for French food served on one of LA’s best patios. The brick backdrop combined with the luscious verdure transports diners far from the hustle and bustle right outside. The restaurant’s menu is simple but effective and includes a very good French smash burger, truffle frites, and bistro steak. For those seeking French fare across the city, look no further than these charming bistros and brasseries. Each spot fits the bill for romantic date nights or casual lunches with friends over classics like steak frites, croque monsieurs, and escargot, all washed down with a bottle of Bordeaux, of course. A few, including Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, could not suppress a slightly sardonic tone even in expressing relief.

At one point during the demonstrations, tensions escalated as protesters refused to relocate and remove their tents and other prohibited items, a university official said. This charming Los Feliz spot does all-day bistro fare in a rustic farmhouse-style storefront right on Vermont. Loupiotte Kitchen, which is owned by longtime Parisian restaurateur, Sarah Bessade, serves up basics like soft-scrambled eggs and brioche french toast for breakfast, with options including a vegetable quiche and a goat cheese salad for lunch. Style oozes from this Paris transplant, with a bustling dining room and loud music bouncing off the modern industrial space. This is a hip French restaurant done right in Hollywood, with celebrities and well-heeled folks sharing plates of cheesy croquettes, mussels and frites, and hamachi crudo. Start with a French fashioned, a take on an Old Fashioned, before digging into steak frites, market crudites, and more.

Ludo Lefebvre’s second Petit Trois in the Valley goes beyond the limited counter service seating of the original, with plenty of space and all-day service that makes diners feel like they are in the heart of Paris. Expect fun twists on American classics like the breakfast sandwich, the Mec Muffin, and the signature burger, the Big Mec. Many Ukrainians, whose days and nights are punctuated by air alerts that send people scurrying into basement bunkers or taking makeshift shelter behind a “second wall” at home, were eager to make the point that not only their own safety was at stake.

Make sure to try the L’Haute Dog, a sausage made with Peads + Barnetts pork, French onion marmalade, fondue, and spicy mustard, that requires a knife and fork to eat. For those not on the Westside, Coucou has a second location in West Hollywood. European allies, for their part, had watched the drawn-out aid drama with mounting anxiety and exasperation.

Project Managers are responsible for planning, executing and monitoring projects from start to finish. They work with a team of designers, developers and other stakeholders to ensure that the project is completed on time, within budget and to the required specifications. Project Managers create detailed project plans, track progress and milestones, and report regularly to upper management on the status of the project.

Why is Design Project Management Important?

The PMI Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) is the global standard of project management. Scrum provides a set of processes, rules, and roles that allow small teams to be more result-oriented and productive. In an organisation using Scrum, team members—the Scrum team—work together to reach a common goal faster.

These quality tools are mainly used to collect the data, analyze it and identify the root causes and the measures which results in problem solving and the process of improvement. The use of these quality tools helps the people to get involve and easily generate new ideas. The fishbone diagram is a type of visualization tool which is used for categorizing the potential causes of a problem. Therefore this tool is mainly used to order to identify the problem root causes.

Pareto chart is mainly a type of graph which mainly indicates the frequency of the defects as well as the cumulative impacts. The Pareto charts are mainly useful to find the defects to prioritize in order to observe the greater and overall improvements. The pareto chart is a type of quality improvement tool which is based upon the pareto principle which is 80% of an outcome comes from 20% of the inputs. Therefore the pareto are the common tool which are used by the manufacturers to analyze the quality and the defect data by simply providing a simple visual representation. We're firm believers in the Golden Rule, which is why editorial opinions are ours alone and have not been previously reviewed, approved, or endorsed by included advertisers.

Lean on your collaboration tools

But we get it—the problem usually comes back to things getting lost in email. Work hours may extend beyond the traditional 9-to-5, especially as project deadlines approach, though many firms offer flexibility to accommodate personal schedules. The dress code leans towards business casual, reflecting a balance between professionalism and the creative nature of the work. The 7 basic quality are the basic foundation of the quality related tools. The top 7 basic tools are – Scatter Diagram, Histogram, Stratification, Control Chart, Checksheets, cause and effect diagram and Pareto Diagram.

What makes this even harder is that design can be such a subjective discipline. Just ask a designer how many tasks arrive on their plate with little-to-no project information, direction, or appropriate content. Project closure occurs when the design team is ready for the design handoff. In some cases, stakeholders might dissolve the project due to unforeseen circumstances.

Additionally, a design project intake form can expand to include broader design initiatives beyond graphics, such as product design, user experience (UX) design, and architectural design. Productivity is enhanced, enabling a focus on delivering high-quality creative outputs. Overall, these creative intake forms play a crucial role in streamlining workflow, fostering collaboration, and ensuring successful outcomes that align to brand and creative priorities. In the Agile project management methodology, project intake is a crucial starting point hen kicking off iterative and flexible project lifecycles. Unlike the traditional “waterfall approach” of linear project progression, Agile emphasizes continuous planning, feedback, and adaptation throughout the project. The Design Project Manager plays an integral role in steering creative projects from inception through to completion, ensuring they meet the client’s requirements, deadlines, and budget constraints.

President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a statement of appreciation moments after the vote, which occurred late Saturday evening Ukraine time. He thanked by name House Speaker Mike Johnson, the Louisiana Republican who had been heavily lobbied by Ukraine’s supporters to bring the measure to a vote despite bitter opposition from his party’s far-right flank. In conclusion, “Our House” is a timeless and endearing song that captures the beauty and simplicity of domestic life. Its message of love, home, and family resonates with audiences of all ages and backgrounds, making it a classic that will continue to be cherished and enjoyed for generations to come.

U.S. announces new Patriot missiles for Ukraine as part of $6-billion aid package

House of Representatives approved a long-sought $61 billion in aid, breaking a legislative logjam that had deepened hardships on the war’s front lines, and made it difficult for Ukrainian forces to fend off Russian attacks on civilian neighborhoods and critical infrastructure. CSNY's music reflected the tastes and viewpoints of the counterculture in the late 1960s and early 1970s. With protest against the Vietnam War gearing up in 1970, the group (and Crosby in particular) made no secret of their political leanings. Nash’s domestic life with Mitchell was a significant influence on the lyrics of “Our House,” which describe a happy and loving couple living together in a comfortable and cozy dwelling. The song’s chorus, “Our house, is a very, very, very fine house, with two cats in the yard, life used to be so hard,” captures the simple pleasures and joys of domesticity.

The Meaning Behind The Song: Our House by Crosby Stills Nash & Young

The group's second tour, which produced the live double album 4 Way Street (1971), was fraught with arguments between Young and Taylor, which resulted in Taylor being replaced by John Barbata, and tensions with Stills. The group reunited several times, sometimes with Young, and released eight studio and four live albums. They began financing recordings themselves, and in 1999 Stills invited Young to guest on a few tracks.

An episode of Cheers titled "Dinner at Eight-ish" had Frasier Crane and Lilith singing it in honor of their new apartment, only to stop very abruptly when Diane chimed in. In the fourth season of This is Us, Rebecca, in parallel scenes with her husband Jack and her son Kevin, visits the old home of Joni Mitchell in Los Angeles and relays the story of how "Our House" came to be a song. Rebecca, played by Mandy Moore, and Jack, played by Milo Ventimiglia sing a portion of the song. "This is definitely the exact kind of house where you would dream," Gambino said in an interview with USA TODAY. "It's a very special house where people immediately get, you know, emotionally connected when they're there."

In July 1968, over dinner at a party at another Laurel Canyon house (the home of either Joni Mitchell or Cass Elliot -- accounts by the three members differ[11][12]), Nash invited Stills and Crosby to perform a Stills composition, "You Don't Have to Cry". They did so twice, after which Nash had learned the lyrics and improvised a new harmony part on a third rendition. The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, and the Hollies had been harmony bands, with Nash later saying in a 2014 interview, "We knew what we were doing," referring to the success of each of the individual bands. He continued, "Whatever sound Crosby, Stills, and Nash has was born in 30 seconds. That's how long it took us to harmonize." Despite its personal nature, “Our House” resonated with many listeners who could relate to its universal themes of love, home, and family. The song was included on Crosby Stills Nash & Young’s 1970 album “Deja Vu,” which became a bestseller and spawned several hit singles.

“Our House” has remained a beloved classic and a staple of classic rock radio for over four decades. Its enduring popularity can be attributed to its timeless themes of love, home, and family, as well as its catchy melody and sing-along chorus. The song has been covered by numerous artists, including Madness, Crosby & Nash, and Sheryl Crow. Nash describes lighting a fire and arranging flowers while his partner plays love songs on the piano. The repetition of “for me” emphasizes the special connection between the couple and their shared appreciation for music and art.

CSN formation and debut album: July 1968 – May 1969

Crosby later stated in an interview that his callbacks "how many more?" in the final stages of the song was ad-libbed, bringing out his pure frustration. In 2006, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young set off on their Freedom of Speech Tour in support of Living with War, a Young solo album written in response to the Iraq War. The long setlists included the bulk of the new protest album as well as material from Stills' long-delayed solo album Man Alive!

Americana,

Their first major public gig was on August 16, 1969, at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago, with Joni Mitchell as their opening act. They mentioned they were going to someplace called Woodstock the next day, but that they had no idea where it was. Their one-hour show at the Woodstock Festival in the early morning of August 18, 1969, was a baptism by fire. Footage from two performances from the Big Sur Folk Festival (held on the grounds of the Esalen Institute on September 13–14, 1969) appears in the movie Celebration at Big Sur. They also appeared at the violence-plagued Altamont Free Concert on December 6, 1969, alongside Santana, Jefferson Airplane, the Flying Burrito Brothers, and the headlining Rolling Stones.

In Ukraine, relief over U.S. aid vote — and fear over what an angry Russia will do next

On May 16, 2006, Crosby, Stills & Nash were honored as a BMI Icon at the 54th annual BMI Pop Awards. They were honored for their "unique and indelible influence on generations of music makers."[66] In February 2007, CSN were forced to postpone a tour of Australia and New Zealand due to David Crosby's illness.[67] Also in 2006, long-time manager Gerry Tolman died in a car accident. Two years later, when the Hollies relocated to California in 1968, Nash resumed his acquaintance with him.[10] Nash met Stills at a party at Peter Tork's house in Laurel Canyon. He was captivated by Stills "banging the shit out of" a piano in a "Brazilian, and Latin, and boogie woogie, and rock and roll" style.

Audiences can anticipate an immersive journey through classic hits such as “Déjà vu,” “Wooden Ships,” “Helpless,” and “Carry On,” delivered with the finesse that only OUR HOUSE, The Music of CSNY performed by FAMILY & FRIENDS can provide. And featuring legendary CSNY photographer Henry Diltz with CSNY recording engineer Stephen Barncard spinning ‘Tall Tales’ that can be heard nowhere else except on this tour. Old Time Music is proud to have such a passionate and talented team of writers who share their love for music with our readers. In addition to its musical legacy, “Our House” has also had a cultural impact beyond the realm of music. In 1986, the song was used in a popular commercial for Febreze fabric freshener, which featured a couple dancing around their clean and fresh-smelling home.

A portion of the song's lyrics were spoken in The Simpsons episode "Bart After Dark" by Reverend Lovejoy, as well as played in the episode "Milhouse of Sand and Fog", while Milhouse is daydreaming. It appears in the 1996 Only Fools and Horses Christmas special, Time on Our Hands, watched by 24.3 million viewers in the United Kingdom. The song was featured in the fifth season of How I Met Your Mother in an episode called "Home Wreckers". It appeared as a cover in a Target commercial from 2013, for its "Threshold" brand for house and home.

As the political infighting dragged on in Washington, Ukrainian officials expressed particular alarm over the systematic destruction of crucial energy infrastructure, such as a power plant wrecked by missiles outside Kyiv this month. In some parts of the country, the targeting of electricity-generating plants has caused power cuts of a scope and duration comparable to those seen much earlier in the war. And Ukrainians were braced for at least a short-term redoubling of the near-nightly pummeling of cities and towns across the country with missiles and drones — which in recent weeks was exacerbated by an alarming depletion of Ukrainian air defenses. An angry Russia could try to get in more punishing attacks before more air-defense help arrives, some feared. In 1994, CSN collaborated with Suzy Bogguss, Alison Krauss, and Kathy Mattea to contribute "Teach Your Children" to the AIDS benefit album Red Hot + Country produced by the Red Hot Organization. Later in 1976, Stills approached Crosby and Nash during a performance at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, setting the stage for the return of the trio.

The cockpit of the plane creates a roof with a large skylight to a meditation pavilion, located towards the edge of the site. Its owner, Mark Thomson, a former corporate-and-stunt pilot, sells flightless “birds” for TV and movies, and often ships planes to Asia for reassembly as restaurants. “Outside the U.S., few places have the maintenance resources and dry climate to fend off corrosion,” he explains. Rehwald’s 747, originally TWA’s, was the 28th off Boeing’s assembly line. In transforming an old jet into a home, how do you even find an available plane?

We moved his third party blog and integrated it in one place with the site. We also modified content and added graphics and hierarchy in the design and layout to enhance the client’s presentation. In order to efficiently analyse the wing structure, a number of simplifying assumptions are typically made when working with a semi-monocoque structure. Let us help you set up a web site that you can (easily) maintain yourself. Additional contributions are greatly desired, especially 3-view drawings of unusualdesigns.

Secondary Flows

The aerodynamic problem this can cause for a low-wing airplane is that the wing is trying to direct the air flowing over it downwards in order to generate lift. The air flows off of the trailing edge with a downwash angle relative to the centerline of the airplane. If the fuselage skin just inboard of the wing root is pulling upwards, then the air coming off of the wing root is flowing down while the air just inboard of it is flowing up.

We already have a preliminary layout of the airplane, so we can now start designing the wing in more detail. The term is commonly used to refer to wings having at least 2 dihedral angles with a sharp discontinuity between both. These kinds of wings are used to improve roll stability without a significant change to the overall wing design. Like dihedral wings, some older biplanes also had a mixture of anhedral and straight wing configurations. Modern famous examples of aircraft with this kind of wing include the mightly Antonov AN-225.

The variation in shear force along the span forms the input into the calculation as the shear at each spanwise location must be transferred into the wing structure. On a high-wing design, assuming the windshield is properly designed, the upper surface of the fuselage is essentially a continuation of the upper surface of the wing. The fuselage upper skin naturally takes the shape of the streamlines flowing over the upper surface of the wing. The air can flow smoothly aft over both the wing and fuselage upper surfaces without any significant interference between the two. The low pressure developed on the wing upper surface will carry over smoothly onto the fuselage, improving lift and keeping the span loading smooth, which improves span efficiency. A triumph of regenerative design, the 747 Wing House upcycles airplane components into poetic roof forms.

Architect's Square Foot Costbook

This configuration gives the wings a kind of shallow “V” shape when viewed from the front or back. They also increase the phenomenon of the ground effect that tends to make a plane float farther before landing. Ultimate loads can result in plastic deformation of the structure but must be held for three seconds without failure. The scale of a 747 aircraft is enormous - over 230 feet long, 195 feet wide and 63 feet tall with over 17,000 cubic feet of cargo area alone and represents a tremendous amount of material for a very economical price of less than $50,000 dollars.

This resulting vertical force distribution over the span of the wing causes the wing to flex and bend upward when it is loaded. If you look out of the window and at the wing of a modern airliner like the Boeing 787 during takeoff and landing you are sure to see a high degree of flexing. The lift produced by the wing results in a large bending moment at the wing root that must be transferred to the wingbox (the structure that connects the wing to the fuselage).

An aircraft does not just fly straight and level during all phases of operation. If the pilot banks the aircraft at a 60 degree angle during a sharp turn, he needs to produce twice the lifting force to counteract the weight due to the angle of the lift vector relative to the weight (which always acts downward). In this instance, the wing is producing a lift force equal to twice the weight of the aircraft and the aircraft is said to be pulling 2g’s (twice the gravitational force) or operating at a load factor of 2.

It soon became apparent, that in fact, an airplane wing itself could work. In researching airplane wings and superimposing different airplane wing types on the site to scale, the wing of a 747, at over 2,500 sq. Ft., became an ideal configuration to maximize the views and provide a self supporting roof with minimal additional structural support needed.

Farther aft on the wing we reach the point where, in the top view, the fuselage is likely to be narrowing. The relationship between the point of maximum width of the fuselage and the point of maximum wing thickness is important. If these two coincide, then the air is faced with a situation where both the wing skin and fuselage skin are pulling away from the airflow at the same time. This is likely to cause flow separation, which increases drag and leads to premature stall. On a low-wing design, the wing root butts into the near-vertical wall of the fuselage side.

The example above illustrates that there are many cases where the aircraft will exceed a loading of 1g. The Federal Aviation Administration (among other regulatory bodies) is responsible for ensuring that all certified aircraft comply to a basic standard of safety. Therefore a series of regulations are published, which among other regulations, detail the minimum load factor that a particular aircraft class should be designed to withstand.
