A Light From Within: Los Gatos Library
June 12th, 2013 | Category: Featured News
Inspired by a glowing lantern, the new 30,000-square-foot Los Gatos Library in Los Gatos, Calif., designed by Noll & Tam architects based in Berkeley, Calif., takes full advantage of all that glass can offer. As project architect Abraham Jayson explains, the library, which was completed in February 2012, wanted the structure to be a light and welcoming building, which led them to the idea of a lantern, glowing at night. The design process was led by Chris Noll, the firm's principal in charge.
"Our [inspiration] was in the thought that libraries are the light of knowledge and [owners] liked that metaphor and the idea of a daylit building," says Jayson.
Both inside the library as well as its exterior, glass was a significant building material, helping create a bright, open space.
According to Jayson, glass was used in a number of different areas in a number of different ways.
"On the exterior we were thoughtful about the various exposures of the building as well as cardinal points on the compass," he says. As an example, "We made some thoughtful, minute changes in the glass from using PPG Solarban 70XL on the East, South and West to using Solarban 60 on the north. In some spots we had to be thoughtful on the corners and making sure they looked the same."
They also worked with two contract glaziers: The Glass Man based in Alameda, Calif., and Silicon Valley Glass in Morgan Hill, Calif. Likewise, Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope (R) was the glass fabricator.
A number of glazing materials were likewise supplied by Kawneer. These include the company's 1600 Wall System®1 curtainwall; GLASSvent® visually frameless windows; Versoleil™ sunshades; Trifab® VersaGlaze® 451T framing; and 190 narrow stile entrances.
Jayson says the project features a large expanse s of west facing glazing about 35 feet in height. "They [Kawneer] worked with us to design a custom solar shading system, which was integral to their curtainwall system," he says. "We also did some significant daylight studies through computer modeling to determine balance of daylight shade and visible light." As a result, he notes that solar shading has a wider space at lower, occupied zones for unobstructed views and then gets denser [as it goes up] to block more light.
He also points out that glazing was used at the entry canopy.
"We used laminated, translucent glazing, which has a spandrel band and color-changing LED lights behind it," he says. "This allows for a wonderful diffused color band, ranging from yellows to reds, oranges and sometimes blue."
In addition, the library features a sliding wall system, which was supplied by Sunflex Wall Systems of Naples, Fla. According to Marco Bickenbach, customer relations manager, the System used was the Sunflex SF 55 H-S-W System.
"This insulated seven-panel system with has an overall dimension of 349 ¼ inches x 114 5/8 inches," notes Bickenbach. He adds that a system such as this one is more typical for use in interior applications; however for this project they designed it to be weather-resistant.
Jayson adds that another unique detail about the library is on the south facing clearstory, which incorporates a laminated glass photovoltaic panel.
Glazing was also used significantly inside the library, which Jayson says helped add to the light, openness of the structure.
"On the interior we used some decorative laminated glass from 3Form with their Seaweed interlayer. It tapers from full density at floor to get thinner as it rose to give effect of walking thought the grass, and we used that in the majority of the interior glass partitions," says Jaysen.
He adds they also had a glass art piece created and installed in the central atrium. For this they worked with artist Sheri Simons, who is also a professor in the area of sculpture within the Department of Art and Art History at California State University, Chico. The art piece consists of sandblasted, low-iron tempered glass, 44 panels all 3 feet wide and varying in heights of 2, 4 and 6 feet. According to the artist's statement, "the glass is incised with graphical languages that speak over each other, interrupt and converse within the quiet of the library. Among the 'languages' are: Braille, a paragraph from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, George Crumb's music score "Makrokosmos," a chart of the thermal conductivity of tungsten. The panels shift orientation along the vertical fins, creating a broken plane that serves to establish background and foreground. Some of the panels angle inwards towards the lobby, others outwards towards the second floor, offering a visual cue for entrance into another space." Sandblasting was done by Lenehan Architectural Studios in Oakland, Calif.

Hey. I've got a question for you: Why do you play games?
It's not a simple question once you start thinking deeply about it, and there are a number of ways to approach it. Some people play just for fun, some to socialize, some to escape the real world, some to relieve stress.
Another way to approach it is to think about what kinds of activities, mechanics, and experiences in a game motivate you to play that game over any other game. Or a different activity, for that matter. You've got thousands of games to choose from at any moment. Why are you playing what you've been playing lately?
That's going to be the topic of discussion in this episode of the podcast, with my guest Dr. Nick Yee from Quantic Foundry. He's going to share some research that he and his colleagues have been doing around player types, gaming motivations, and personality types. Maybe you'll learn something about what makes your gamer soul tick.

Extremely high on strategy and also on rapid play and excitement – Fighting games, particularly 2D space control ones like older Street Fighters ??
Hmm, actually, the way "Strategy" is defined on their map, FGs would probably fall in line with something like Starcraft actually. I suspect the definition of strategy they are using would always exclude anything really fast paced though.
Yeah, from my conversation it seems like strategy is slower paced, more deliberative, and involves considering options. Not necessarily turn based, but not fast action.
Just to add my 2 cents. Short answer for me is I like to explore and inhabit virtual worlds. That's why I'm not a big fan of abstract games, like Tetris, Chess, match 3. But as soon as you add world to it, it makes it much more appealing to me. Good example is Puzzle Quest, which is one of my favorite games on PSP. It is using match 3 mechanic for fight and do other stuff. But it also has world map, characters, quests, story etc. My favorite games usually have big open worlds. And nowadays I find it hard to enjoy linear games.
I believe that there is no right answer to question "why people play games". Because games are too different, and two people can play same game and get enjoyment from completely different things in this game.
p.s. I know it's a bad idea to post comment before I've finished listening whole episode, but I couldn't resist.
I've took a survey. For the most part, recommended games list is far from my taste.

The Life of a Minor League Quarterback is based off the true story of my experiences while playing as a minor league quarterback. After a record breaking high school career and a short live downfall from glory in college, I left the sport with a whole in my heart. Eighteen years later, I got my second chance and with it I had a whole new perspective on the game, but more importantly, on life. So come with me and enjoy the ride, be right in the middle of the huddle and feel what I felt, as I put a lighthearted twist on an otherwise violent sport. Believe me, this is a side of football you would never see coming!


Wisconsin's failure to provide access to the ballot for all of its eligible voters has real, anti-democratic consequences. Just ask Zack Moore. When Moore applied for a free voter identification card in Wisconsin, the 34-year-old African American was turned away because he did not have his birth certificate, even though he supplied his Social Security card, out-of-state photo ID, and pay stub as proof of residency.
Sarada Hanumadass faced a similar situation when she tried to get her free voter ID. Even though she was a Wisconsin state employee and had a valid driver's license, a Social Security card, proof of residency, and a marriage certificate, the Division of Motor Vehicles, or DMV, in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, told Hanumadass that she would need a copy of her birth certificate to prove her citizenship. Because she was born in Ireland, she was told that she would need to show her naturalization papers, which would cost $345 and take up to two years to receive.
Christine Krucki, who has been voting since 1948, was also blocked from getting a voter ID. The 90-year-old made three trips to Wisconsin's DMV this year, bringing an Illinois photo ID, proof of residence in Wisconsin, a birth certificate, and her marriage certificate. Still, she could not obtain the free ID that she would need to cast a ballot under Wisconsin's strict ID law.
These three voters—and many more—had their right to vote taken away because of Wisconsin's photo ID law. The state also failed them by not living up to its promises to prevent disenfranchisement.
In August, a federal appeals court refused to reinstate a lower court's order that would have dramatically altered a voter suppression law in Wisconsin and would have made it easier for Wisconsin voters to cast ballots. The court's refusal was based solely on assurances from the state's attorneys that Wisconsin had already taken—and would continue to take—adequate steps to get people the documents they would need to be able to vote. Specifically, state attorneys assured the court that the state had already enacted a rule requiring the DMV to mail a free photo ID to anyone who initiates the free ID process, without requiring them to produce a birth certificate. Voters were to receive their IDs in the mail within six days of applying to ensure that they arrived in time for November's election. Without these documents, eligible Americans who are registered to vote will be blocked from casting their ballots and having their voices heard.
Nine percent of Wisconsin's registered voters—300,000 people—do not have one of the few acceptable forms of strict voter ID required to vote, according to the state's own analysis. These citizens are relying on the state's promise of free and readily accessible voter IDs to exercise their right to vote. Early voting has already begun in Milwaukee, Madison, and elsewhere in the state.
On September 29, reporting from both VoteRiders and Ari Berman of The Nation revealed that Wisconsin failed to live up to its promises. In the words of ThinkProgress reporter Ian Millhiser, the state's promise to protect voters from disenfranchisement "doesn't amount to a hill of beans." Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel had previously told the court that the "DMV will now be issuing photo identification receipts no later than six business days from receipt of the petition application." But only 3 of the 10 DMVs surveilled by VoteRiders told applicants that they would receive voter IDs within a week or less. On-the-ground investigations found that Wisconsin's DMVs continued to require applicants to present hard-to-acquire documentation, such as birth certificates.
During the October 12 hearing, Judge Peterson lambasted Wisconsin's DMV for giving out inaccurate information to prospective voters. He expressed his frustration "that the state really did nothing" it had promised to provide voting credentials to anyone who applies.
But in a follow-up hearing held on October 13, Judge Peterson refused to suspend the voter ID law, citing the proximity to the election. He did, however, order the state to implement several changes, or "improvements," to the law. Some of the changes were immediate, while others will take place this week. Beginning October 14, the parties were ordered to submit a one-page information sheet, or "palm card," that "clearly and succinctly" explains how the free ID process works, as well as a revised page for the DMV website that explains the process. The state was required to distribute these documents no later than Monday, October 17, to voting rights groups, municipal clerks, the media, and anyone else on DMV contact lists.
Beginning this week, the state is also ordered to provide follow-up training and competency checks for its DMV workers and to dedicate additional resources to funding a public information campaign about the state's voter ID law. This is to ensure that people are informed about the availability of IDs even if they do not have birth certificates or other hard-to-obtain documents. Additionally, the state will report to the court on its administration of the voter ID law every Friday from now until the election.
Voting rights advocates have already voiced concerns that the order does not go far enough. While Judge Peterson informed attorneys that they can appeal today's decision, it is unclear whether any court will hear the case this close to November. The Purcell v. Gonzalez principle generally dissuades courts from changing rules for elections close to election day, but that should be subordinate to the idea that the integrity of our elections rests on the ability of every eligible American to cast a ballot. Courts should not enable new barriers to voting close to election day when there is not sufficient time to prepare for smooth implementation. But courts should intervene in situations such as this, in which voters face an unnecessary, discriminatory burden and court-approved remedial efforts have not been carried out properly, leaving voters to suffer undue burdens on their right to vote. In these cases, it is perfectly appropriate—and necessary—for the courts to step in to remove unjustified barriers that make it harder for eligible voters to cast their ballots.
Wisconsin's government has already failed to abide by court orders in the past and seems largely oblivious to the problems associated with the state's voter ID law. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) has continued to maintain that the state's voter ID law is working "just fine," despite numerous reports of Wisconsin voters struggling to get the newly required ID. This shows a disquieting disregard for voting rights. At the same time, it undermines confidence that the state will do any better this time around in meeting their obligation to provide free IDs in a timely fashion to the hundreds of thousands of Wisconsin citizens who face this new requirement.
In other ways, some state officials have been proactive in making sure that Wisconsinites have their voices heard in November. On Friday, the Wisconsin Elections Commission approved a new policy for processing and counting absentee ballots. Controversy arose earlier this month when it was revealed that 400 completed absentee ballots in Milwaukee and 200 in Racine were not being counted simply because of an incomplete witness address. Voters were not informed of the need to provide their witness's municipality, nor were they told that omitting it would result in the rejection of their ballot. The commission's new rule requires clerks to take over responsibility for finding a witness's missing municipality after a ballot has been submitted, using available resources. Clerks are then tasked with filling in the missing information on the voter's ballot certificate. This new rule will help to ensure that ballots are not thrown out because of bureaucratic red tape.
With early and absentee voting having started already in Wisconsin, it is the duty of Wisconsin officials to remedy its abridgement of voters' rights by following through on the state's promises and Judge Peterson's orders to provide voter IDs immediately and without delay. Otherwise, higher courts should step in to order fundamental changes to the ID requirements that allow Wisconsin voters to cast their votes upon signing an affidavit affirming their identity. The integrity of our elections demands that every eligible American can cast a ballot that is counted.

My mum got very excited when I told her I was interviewing Jedward. Turns out they're one of her favourites ("So charming!"). The last time she got this enthusiastic for a pop act was when she wanted a Lady Gaga CD for her 66th birthday.
When I arrived at the interview venue, the pavement was lined with girls waiting for them to arrive. One mum told me she'd come on the 5.30am coach from Birmingham that morning purely so her teenage daughter could follow Jedward around London.

Why shop at finder.com.au for your New Year's resolution needs?
Every year, we try to come up with resolutions to make us happier and feel content. The most common resolutions include losing weight, eating healthily, quitting smoking and reducing debt. Looking at the brighter side of things, we do every effort to fulfill these resolutions which, more often than not, last only for a couple of weeks.
Admit it, you've been through the same cycle every New Year's Eve and have probably experienced the same failure. Perhaps it's time for a new resolution that's easier to keep? But before anything else, do your best to reflect on the following:
Are you motivated enough? Assess yourself. Willpower is important to get you going until you attain success.
Know thyself. In business, the SWOT analysis is used, where we list down our strengths and weaknesses, as well as the opportunities and threats that we see. Apply this to yourself. Identify each and know how to balance them to meet the challenges.
Real resolution. Knowing what your limitations and capabilities are, set your goals and have a realisable resolution.
Happiness guarantee. Will the resolution you want to keep guarantee you true happiness, or is it something that would just make you happier? Ask this and evaluate your resolution.
For those who want to lose weight and find happiness this way, start with the simplest things like internalising the importance of being healthy. You will learn that getting enough sleep helps in improving metabolism and gives you positive energy to make you feel happy and energised throughout the day. Coupled with exercise and a healthy diet, you will definitely get a boost of happiness.
If you are into a debt-free resolution, you can make a budget plan for your expenses and allocate a portion of your income to pay off your existing debt. Financial constraints are minimised by having a well-defined budget to prevent you from spending beyond your means.
Everybody wants to be happy. Happiness depends on how we deal with life's circumstances. As the Dalai Lama once said, "Happiness is not something really made. It comes from our own actions." Take time to reflect on this and follow these simple tips so you can make your resolution a reality.
Start fresh with short-term resolutions. When failure is inevitable, avoid it by skipping from the usual long-term goals to taking turtle steps towards achieving it. Start with daily and weekly resolutions instead.
Embrace positivity and optimism. See failures as opportunities to improve yourself and become stronger. Never keep grudges in your heart. Instead, learn to forgive and forget. You only get heartaches by hating. Worse is that it contributes to ageing.
Connect with family and friends. Socialise and have some people to share your experiences with. It always feels relieving to share your worries and you will feel more loved as they give you comforting words and a warm hug. You will feel happier with every little thing you achieved as connections give value and meaning to our lives.
Be creative and nurture your skills. Creativity and art relieve you from stress and helps release happy hormones in your brain.
Show kindness. Share and lend a hand to others. There is nothing more rewarding than the feeling of fulfilment in extending help to a complete stranger without expecting anything in return. This kind of happiness lasts a lifetime.
Live a healthy lifestyle. Exercising regularly and having a healthy diet are the most effective ways to stay healthy. When you speak of health, consider all aspects of being healthy – physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Any negative feeling can change your mood and become a hindrance to you becoming happy. Exercise boosts confidence and self-worth.
Surrender yourself to a greater being. Spirituality or having a religious practice makes us recognise a greater being to whom we surrender ourselves and problems. By believing that someone up there is going to embrace you despite your limitations, you will always feel comforted and freed from all your worries. Leaving everything in the hands of the greater being you believe in takes away your emotional baggage and leads you to a happier life.
Love yourself. There's no greater love than the love for oneself. You cannot achieve real happiness if you are not at peace with yourself. With this follows the ability to show genuine care for others.
Each day offers an opportunity for us to achieve the goals we have set for ourselves. Stick to your plans, change for the better and experience a lifetime of happiness.

'The 'perfect storm' for European SMEs: HOTREC and EU stakeholders discuss SMEs after COVID-19
On 18 November, we had the pleasure to take part in the virtual event 'The 'perfect storm' for European SMEs' organised by Euractiv and supported by FoodDrinkEurope.
Ms. Marie Audren, Director General of HOTREC, participated as a speaker together with Ms. Birgit Weidel, Head of Unit at DG GROW (European Commission), MEP Ivan Štefanec (Slovakia, EPP), President of SME Europe, and Mr. Geert Vermeerch, CEO of COLAC. Mr. Dave Keating, journalist at Euractiv, moderated the discussion.
Thanks to this event, we had the change to once again stress how difficult a situation hospitality establishments – 90% of them SMEs and micro-enterprises employing less than 10 people – are experiencing due to COVID-19.
"The hospitality sector is facing the hardest crisis it has ever faced. It's really unprecedented" said Ms. Audren. She later emphasised the economic and cultural value that hospitality holds in Europe: a major pillar of the tourism ecosystem counting (before the crisis) over 2.5 million workers, most of them under 25 years of age.
"The recovery will be really long, will be slow and we don't expect any return to "normal" before 2023. We will need the continued support from the European Commission and the Member States to help these companies regain their capacity to trade and to help restore guests confidence" continued Ms. Audren. "What I really find difficult for us right now is the lack of clarity and the uncertainty. This yo-yo, this in-and-out of restrictions is very difficult for our SMEs".
All speakers also agreed on the critical role that upskilling and reskilling and the digital and green transition will have on SMEs in the tourism and hospitality sector. Ms. Audren had previously discussed her views on the topic in an article written in collaboration with FoodDrinkEurope.
A sincere thanks to Euractiv and FoodDrinkEurope for involving us in such an important and constructive discussion and for the valuable opportunity to brainstorm with experts in the sector on the future of our SMEs.
