Q: Dealing with padding in a BMP file in C I am trying to edit a BMP file in C. My code works for BMP files with no padding but I am having trouble dealing with padding.
There are a few other questions on BMP files that I have read but most of them use other languages like C# and Java so I didn't find them very useful.
Here is what the pixel array looks like, but much larger:
char bmpArray[MAX] = {B,G,R,B,G,R,B,G,R,0,0,0,
                      B,G,R,B,G,R,B,G,R,0,0,0,
                      B,G,R,B,G,R,B,G,R,0,0,0}

The zeros are for padding bytes to make each row divisible by 4, it depends on the pixel width of the image. What I am trying to do is leave these padding bytes the way they are in the same position and only deal with the B,G,R bytes. If I apply edits to the padding values, the resulting image will be distorted.
I made a function that generates the amount of padding bytes based on the width.
It uses this formula 4 - ((width * 3) % 4) and it works as I tested it with images with different width.
I successfully extracted the B, G, R data of the BMP file and put it into an array so I will only post the part of the code I am having trouble with.
int c = 0;
for (int a = 0; a < height; a++) {
    for (int b = 0; b < width*3; b++) {
        if (bmpArray[a*(width*3)+b] < 127) {
            bmpArray[a*(width*3)+b] = 0;
        } else {
            bmpArray[a*(width*3)+b] = 255;
        }
        c++;
    }
    for (int pad = 0; pad < padding; pad++) {
        bmpArray[c++] = 0x00;
    }
}

What I am trying to do is "draw" each row of the output BMP file and then stop as soon as I reach the end of the row, that is width*3, then after that draw the padding bytes before going to the next row of pixels.
Alternatively, is there a way I can identify the padding pixels using a single for loop and then use an if statement to not modify the padding pixels? For example:
for (int a = 0; a < bmpArraySize; a++) {
    paddingBytes = ??? //for example for the first row
                       // paddingBytes are i + width*3 + 1
                       // and i + width*3 + 2 and i + width*3 + 3 if padding = 3
    if (a = paddingBytes) {
        bmpArray[a] = 0x00;
    }
    else if (bmpArray[a] < 127) {
        bmpArray[a] = 0;
    }
    else {
        bmpArray[a] = 255;
    }
}

A: The problem is in this part:
int c = 0;
for (int a = 0; a < height; a++) {
    for (int b = 0; b < width*3; b++) {
        if (bmpArray[a*(width*3)+b] < 127) {
            bmpArray[a*(width*3)+b] = 0;
        } else {
            bmpArray[a*(width*3)+b] = 255;
        }
    }
    for (int pad = 0; pad < padding; pad++) {
        bmpArray[c++] = 0x00;  /* ONLY HERE is 'c' updated! */
    }
}

At the end of each line, you fill out the padding starting at c, which starts out at 0 and so overwrites the first few bytes of the first line. Then, each next line gets copied but you continue overwriting from the start (where c initially pointed to).
The padding should be added on each line. In the loops, you adjust a and b but you forget to adjust for the padding.
I suggest the more straightforward code (untested!):
for (int a = 0; a < height; a++) {
    for (int b = 0; b < width*3; b++) {
        if (bmpArray[a*(width*3 + padding)+b] < 127) {
            bmpArray[a*(width*3 + padding)+b] = 0;
        } else {
            bmpArray[a*(width*3 + padding)+b] = 255;
        }
    }
    for (int pad = 0; pad < padding; pad++) {
        bmpArray[a*(width*3 + padding) + 3*width + pad] = 0x00;
    }
}

is there a way I can identify the padding pixels ..

Yes – in my loop above with adjustments for padding, it automatically skips the padding itself. You can safely remove the explicit 'set padding to 0' loop at the end.

A: Something like:
...

int originalLineSize = width * 3;
int workLineSize = originalLineSize + 4 - originalLineSize % 4;

for (int a = 0; a < bmpArraySize; ++a) {
    if ((a % workLineSize) >= originalLineSize)
        bmpArray[a] = 0x00;
    }
    else if (bmpArray[a] < 127) {
        bmpArray[a] = 0;
    ...
}

A: The "padding bytes" are the bytes following the pixels of a scanline. You are not so interested in the padding as in the scanline size and pixel size:
iScanlineSize  = ((width * bitsperpixel) + 31) / 32 * 4;
iBytesperPixel = bitsperpixel / 8;

Now you can loop over scanlines and adress pixels and pixel parts (colors) as follows:
for (int a = 0; a < height; a++) {
    for (int b = 0; b < width; b++) {
        for (int c = 0; c < iBytesperPixel; c++) {
            pixelPart= bmpArray[a*iScanlineSize + b*iBytesperPixel + c];
        }
    ]
}

Okay. I got it to work and watched a few minutes. It's over two hours long.
I'm at work right now (and want to keep my job ) so I'll have to watch it later.
Oh. You didn't change how Isildur cut the Ring off of Sauron. (I'm just being greedy.) That would have been VERY difficult to edit!
The original is over three.
You didn't change how Isildur cut the Ring off of Sauron. (I'm just being greedy.) That would have been VERY difficult to edit!
I DID edit how the sword broke, i.e. Elendil was killed by Sauron, and Narsil broke beneath him; rather than Sauron stomping on it (they don't make 'em like they used to! ) .
In the book, Elendil and Gil-galad wrestled with Sauron, and both died in battle, but Gil-galad threw down Sauron with his spear Aeglos; Elendil was about the same size as Sauron, and Gil-galad was the last Elf-king. They were together a match for Suaron, and he only killed them from the immense heat of his body.
Then while Sauron lay helpless, Isildur cut the Ring from his finger.
In the movie, Elendil and Gil-galad were both average, and Sauron was a giant who practiced golfing with them along with dozens of other men and Elves.... until Isildir cut the ring off his finger by dumb luck; somehow the Ring made Sauron invincible, but not the finger on which he wore it.
There's no way I could correct that!
That's why I quit at Fellowship, since the next two films were too far gone: there's no way I could fix Eomer being banished along with a reputed 2000 horsemen... 1900 of whom we never saw.
Did you mean Gil-galad and Elendil wrestled with Sauron and were slain and Narsil broke beneath Elendil?
Wasn't Isildur, like Elrond, merely close at hand?
Neither the Sil nor FotR, Council of Elrond mention Gil-galad's spear Aiglos delivering the fatal blow to Sauron. Nor do they mention Gil-galad and Elendil deaths being due to the heat from Sauron's body. From what source is that information?
Yes I meant Elendil instead of Isildur; I fixed it.
"But at the last the siege was so strait that Sauron himself came forth; and he wrestled with Gil-galad and Elendil, and they both were slain, and the sword of Elendil broke under him as he fell."
"The Ring misseth, maybe, the heat of Sauron's hand, which was black and yet burned like fire, and so Gil-galad was destroyed".
"'I was the herald of Gil-galad and marched with his host. I was at the Battle of Dagorlad before the Black Gate of Mordor, where we had the mastery: for the Spear of Gil-galad and the Sword of Elendil, Aiglos and Narsil, none could withstand. I beheld the last combat on the slopes of Orodruin, where Gil-galad died, and Elendil fell, and Narsil broke beneath him; but Sauron himself was overthrown, and Isildur cut the Ring from his hand with the hilt-shard of his father's sword, and took it for his own.'"
Note the words Gil-galad died; but Elendil fell, which indicates dying in defeat. Likewise that Isildur describes that Gil-galad died by the heat of Sauron's hand, but not Elendil.
From the above I deduce that Elendil was fell in battle, but Gil-Galad killed Sauron with Aegolos, and died in the process from the heat of Sauron's hand gripping him by the neck as Sauron died.
This is my understanding of events.

a XBMC machine. I still wanted something really low power to leave on all the time as a network storage/media storage device.
After some reading I settled on getting a TonidoPlug 2 – it's barely bigger than a 2.5″ drive, draws 1.2 watts of power and it's a full ARM based Linux machine! The perfect home server and hopefully plenty of scope for poking around and experimenting.
Out of the box pretty much all of the goals listed above are achievable, but everything including the kernel was a bit out of date. For general file sharing this doesn't present too much of a headache, but for MythTV I've found it's generally better to be able to keep up to date. After a few attempts at compiling my own kernels (a project I intend to revisit soon) I found that ArchLinux had recently announced official support for the Tonodio Plug 2. So ArchLinux step up to the stage – http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/tonidoplug-2!
Installation went like a breeze and it was simply case case of following through the documented install process. In no time at all I was up and running in a shiny new stock ArchLinux install.
I've not used ArchLinux before, but everything seems pretty familiar. The notes on upgrading packages (here) scare me slightly and remind me far too much of my experiences with Gentoo, but I'll reserve judgement until I've done a few system upgrades as and when necessary.
Getting MythTV up and running was pretty simply and has been running pretty well, bar one or two very small niggles. I've dedicated a separate post to my experiences.


Looking for races to photograph, as a participant. Thinking back at last time. The Transylvanian mountains. Not much training before. No real clue what to expect. Two good friends in better shape (sorry for slowing you down). 4000 m/12000 ft of elevation didn't tell me much. Bears and angry dogs in the area. GX1 and kit zoom in hip pack. Made it. Two minutes before cut-off time, at 15h 58 min. Pictures made it to Runners World.
off to Philadelphia to study with the other yoga masters.


The condition of this piece is flawless and the surface is glossy. Additionally, one side is slightly longer than the other. This is subtle and considered a good sign in these pieces. Lastly, there is the rough consistency that comes from the casting process on the reverse. Again, a good thing that indicates the bracelet is not a reproduction piece. You won't find another just like it.
Sandcasting is a method of forming silver employed by the Navajo that begins with carving the design into the indigenous sandstone (tufa). This method is difficult and items made this way often show unevenness and small flaws as telltale signs of an original handmade piece. The silver was poured molten into the stone and then the piece was shaped. Each piece is more or less one of a kind because the addition of the heat to the mold typically cracks it. Historically, the Navajo melted silver coins to create their work. There are no hallmark on this piece which is typical of sandcast work.

A Long and Winding Road to Emergency Housing Security
By Bailey Bortolin, Esq.
Posted on:	 September 2, 2021	 Last updated on:	 September 2, 2021	 Written by:	clarkcountybar	Categorized in:	Communiqué Tagged as:	Communique-Sep-2021 landlord/tenant law Real Estate Law
Second to the virus itself, evictions and the looming housing security crisis may be the most talked about category of the pandemic. Desperate Nevadans have been panicked and confused, navigating a complex and ever changing legal process with no time to spare due to the unrelenting timeline of our eviction laws.
So, what happened in the state where workers were hit the hardest? Our leaders stepped up to the plate. Governor Steve Sisolak declared a State of Emergency on March 12, 2020. Within days, Nevada's individual justice courts entered administrative orders closing the courts, deeming evictions non-essential and unnecessary to the administration of justice or order of our society. On March 29th, Governor Sisolak entered Declaration of Emergency Directive 008, halting all evictions and foreclosures in the State of Nevada. Notably, the federal government had already passed the CARES Act on March 25th, appropriating the first portion of what would ultimately total $365 million in federal dollars provided to Nevada for direct rental assistance.
Navigating the urgent need to keep people in their homes, the State went to work. Brand new rental assistance programs were stood up virtually overnight, utilizing whatever existing infrastructure they could to expedite services to people in need, providing rental assistance directly to landlords. On June 25th, Governor Sisolak entered Directive 025, a phased lifting of the eviction moratorium, set to expire September 1, 2020.
On July 31, 2020, the Nevada Legislature convened the 32nd Special Session. For the first time since the emergency began, our part-time state lawmakers were formally at the table, in the unenviable position of having to decide on budget cuts to slow the economic bleed. But they were also able to enact legislation to meet the State's moment of need with policy. Senate Bill 1 authorized a 30-day stay in Nevada's eviction timeline to facilitate mediation. The Supreme Court of Nevada then set to work crafting court rules (ADKT 0567, In the Supreme Court of the State of Nevada, October 6, 2020), partnering with Home Means Nevada, Inc. to train mediators and standing up a robust program to resolve cases to the benefit of all parties whenever possible.
What we know now is that Covid-19 was not letting up anytime soon. So, on August 31st, Governor Sisolak extended the eviction moratorium again, this time for 45 days in Directive 031. What we did not see coming, was an eviction moratorium from the Centers for Disease Control and Protection, taking effect on September 4, 2020. The CDC essentially paused nonpayment of rent evictions for those financially harmed by the crisis. Because there are many roads to an eviction in Nevada, loopholes in the CDC moratorium ultimately did not prove effective enough to protect everyone that it was intended to. On December 14, 2020, Governor Sisolak entered Directive 036, applying the intent of the CDC moratorium more directly and effectively to Nevada law.
On February 1, 2021, the Nevada Legislature convened the 81st Session. The moratoriums were imperative and saved countless lives, but they couldn't last forever. See "Housing Precarity & the COVID-19 Pandemic: Impacts of Utility Disconnection and Eviction Moratoria on Infections and Deaths Across US Counties", (NBER Working Paper No. 28394), Kay Jowers, Christopher Timmins, Nrupen Bhavsar, Qihui Hu, and Julia Marshall, National Bureau of Economic Research, January 2021. With the State moratorium expiring on June 1st, the Legislature created a path forward for landlords and tenants. On June 4, 2021, AB486 was enacted. Weeks before the DOJ issued guidance urging states to do so, Nevada integrated the programs distributing $365 million in rental assistance into our eviction legal processes to ensure landlords and tenants are connected with rental assistance, preventing evictions whenever possible. See Letter from Associate Attorney General, June 24, 2021. By staying cases where tenants have alerted the courts of a pending rental assistance application, families will be able to stay housed, landlords will be made whole, and the potential overwhelming of, and burden on, our courts and community social safety nets will be reduced. This is key, because the federal treasury guidelines do not allow for the dollars to be used to pay arrears where there is no longer a landlord tenant relationship, meaning hasty evictions would have hurt both parties for years to come.
The CDC Eviction Moratorium expired on July 31, 2021, but a new one with limited applicability was issued shortly thereafter on August 3, 2021. The hope is we avoid the housing crisis that has been looming as long as the virus. And when we are on the other side of this, perhaps we can enact meaningful change from the lessons we have learned.

I recently received a comment on my blog from my dear friend Fatime over in Sweden. I met Fatime this summer when she was in the US and I was her mentor, learning all about US culture. Fatime now works with high school students, helping them all plan different kinds of events, and says "it's such a pleasure reading your blog." Thank you, Fatime. If your students speak English, you should show them and have them comment and ask me questions, too! I'd love to hear from them and act as their "virtual" mentor!!
I inquired a little further about the program she helps with. It translates to something like "Sweden's Student Council's Central Organization" (waiting for the website to link you to, even though it will probably be in Swedish). In this organization, student council's apply for the membership, where they receive $120 per year and $1 per member. Fatime is their consult, who helps put their ideas into reality (i.e. assistant event planner!). She helps them with any idea they have--rugby tournament, prom/parties, hug-a-student day, etc.
Fatime notes herself that EVERY STEP IS IMPORTANT! What do they need? What kind of advertising should they use? Who is doing what? I really like what they do after the event, which you don't find much today in the rush and turnover of things. Everyone that was involved gets together after the event to evaluate the success. A goal to make the event an annual occurrence and better each time is often decided.
The goal of Fatime's job with these students is to bring back school spirit. Along with helping with the events, she gives lectures and seminars on marketing, leadership, project management and how to involve more students and people in their events. Three years ago, Fatime was the first person in Sweden to bring in the idea of (American) mascots to the schools--she decided on the tiger.
No matter what magnitude, event planning can be exciting and rewarding, as well as provide you with skills beneficial for the rest of your life. These high school students that Fatime is mentoring will forever have the skills they need in order to plan a successful event, no matter what the size!

Q: Xcode 4 for Dummies: Why are Storyboard Settings not Being Applied When the App Runs? SOLUTION
Make sure in the plist that the storyboard name is listed as the main storyboard file name.

I have a Storyboard with a UINavigationViewController that's connected to a NavigationViewController class and it's set as the UIWindow rootViewController. When the app runs (in the Simulator (5.1)) I get a blank black screen with the blue-ish navigation bar on the top.
The first problem is that in the storyboard, I set the navigation bar to black. I also set the status bar to translucent black. Neither styles are being honored when the app runs.
And the second problem is that the navigation controller's view is empty even though in the storyboard it has a relationship to a UITableViewController.
How can I fix both of these issues. I just started using Xcode again and had been using 4.0 before so the storyboards are throwing me off...
UPDATE
Here's the code as requested. Obviously I can't post the storyboard (can I?).
AppDelegate:
#import "AppDelegate.h"

@implementation AppDelegate

@synthesize window = _window;
@synthesize navigationController;

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
    self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];

navigationController = [[NavigationViewController alloc] init];

    self.window.rootViewController = navigationController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

    return YES;
}

- (void)applicationWillResignActive:(UIApplication *)application {
}

- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application {
}

- (void)applicationWillEnterForeground:(UIApplication *)application {
}

- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application {
}

- (void)applicationWillTerminate:(UIApplication *)application {
}

@end

NavigationViewController:
#import "NavigationViewController.h"

@interface NavigationViewController ()
@end

@implementation NavigationViewController

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil {
    self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];

if (self) {
    }

    return self;
}

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
}

- (void)viewDidUnload {
    [super viewDidUnload];
}

 - (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}

@end

A: The problem is that you are setting as the root controller a completely blank root controller, not the one from the story board. What you want to do is to delete that part of the code, and simply on the storyboard click the thing that says "is initial view controller"
When using storyboards you usually dont have to modify the appdelegate, because xcode sets which is the initial view that will appear and all of that based solely on how you set the storyboard. You can check this in the plist where it says which storyboard will be used as the main one.
If you want to load your navigation controller like that then you can do something like that you would have to get the viewcontroller from the storyboard itself and present it.

instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier

but there is no need for that when using storyboards as it automatically loads whichever is set as the initial one (which can be seen as the viewcontroller with the arrow pointing at it)
Your app delegate method should look like this
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    return YES;
}

By Mary Ellen Mitchell The Jesuit Catholic Tradition teaches that the more we embrace our humanity with all its limitations, the more our divinity is revealed. We follow in the footsteps of Jesus, both fully God and fully human. This paradox sets the stage for the tyranny of time to be a gift. Perhaps there is nothing more human than the ticking clock; the knowledge that our time on earth will end. Our finite nature seemingly raises the stakes on the choices of each day. It's in these choices, both the mundane and the consequential, that we make a life.

Sharia4Belgium trial: Belgian court jails members
Media caption"A 19-year-old from Antwerp... always said that he had been radicalised by the organisation", reports Duncan Crawford outside the court
A Belgian court has jailed the leader of a group that sent jihadists to Syria, in the largest-ever trial of its kind in the country.
The court in Antwerp found a total of 45 members of the Sharia4Belgium group guilty of terror-related offences.
The judge called the organisation "a terrorist group" and sentenced leader Fouad Belkacem to 12 years in prison.
The other 44 members were given sentences, some suspended, ranging between three and 15 years.
The group sent recruits to militant groups such as Islamic State (IS), prosecutors said.
Only seven of the accused were at the court for the ruling. Most others are said to still be in Syria, and some may already be dead.
One high-profile member, Jejoen Bontinck, got a suspended sentence of 40 months. He made headlines after his father travelled to Syria and brought him home, and later appeared in the trial as a prosecution witness.
Duncan Crawford, BBC News, Antwerp
Prosecutors said Fouad Belkacem brainwashed dozens of young men to fight with jihadi groups in Syria. The court heard evidence that he used lectures and social media to recruit and radicalise people.
Some of the witnesses accused him of indoctrinating them. Prosecutors also presented wiretaps and video images as evidence which, they argued, proved Sharia4Belgium members were involved in terror activities. Mr Belkacem denied the charges against him.
In an open letter to the press he said that he "never recruited, incited or sent" fighters to Syria. His lawyers argued that he did not buy anyone flights to Syria or introduce his followers to jihadists.
Officials say about 350 Belgians have gone to fight in Syria and Iraq, the highest number per capita in Europe.
They estimate that 10% of the Belgians who have gone to fight in Syria had links to Sharia4Belgium.
European security agencies fear that jihadists who return from those countries could mount attacks on domestic targets.
'Adolescent angst'
Belkacem, the ringleader of the now defunct Sharia4Belgium, smiled as the judge read out his ruling. He had denied the charges.
The judge said he was "responsible for the radicalisation of young men to prepare them for Salafist combat, which has at its core no place for democratic values".

Image caption Only eight of the accused have appeared in court in Antwerp during the trial
The family of Jejoen Bontinck, now 20, said Jejoen was a victim of "grooming" by Sharia4Belgium, and denied he was a security threat.
Speaking earlier on Wednesday as they arrived at court, his father Dmitri Bontinck told reporters: "I didn't go and pick up my son in Syria, only to see him thrown in jail here."
He has argued that the group attracted youngsters while they were going through moments of adolescent angst.
Five other members were at the court on Wednesday, while one was represented by his lawyer, Belgian media reported.
The others were tried in absentia. Most - like 21-year-old Brian De Mulder - are still believed to be fighting, or dead, in Syria.
However, the judge said that there was not sufficient evidence of any of the suspects being killed, so they could still be convicted, Dutch media reported.
The trial, which has been held under tight security, started in September last year and followed a series of raids across the country.
Belgium deployed hundreds of troops last month to protect potential targets of terrorist attacks after a series of raids against suspected jihadists.
The eastern city of Verviers was the site of one of the raids, where a shootout left two suspects dead. Prosecutors said the group targeted had planned to kill police officers.

A new trend of illiquid asset marketplaces has emerged to address the venture capital liquidity crisis.
Though the poor mergers and acquisitions market and historically low number of IPOs have generally spelled bad news for entrepreneurs, many investors - and shareholders - are finding other ways to make money in the recession.
Many investors are turning to alternate marketplaces such as SecondMarket and SharesPost, which connect investors and buyers in sales of illiquid assets. Inc. magazine notes that the investors are mostly institutional investors, such as venture capital firms or pension funds, and the buyers are mostly employees.
SecondPlace, which claims to be the "largest centralized marketplace and auction platform for illiquid assets," has recently expanded their services with the launch of an online trading platform called Private Company Marketplace, for the sale of private company securities.
To cope with what venture capitalists are calling a liquidity crisis, many shareholders do not want to wait until a private company goes public to cash in on their assets.
In the age of billion-dollar private startups, such as Twitter and Facebook, illiquid asset marketplaces may give the economy a significant jumpstart, allowing institutional investors to move their money into newer startups, according to the Associated Press.
The mergers and acquisitions market is at its lowest since 1999, while IPO sales are just recently seeing a slight recovery from a lull lasting over a year.

Awesomest Congressional Campaign Ever — Vernon Robinson, N.C.
September 27, 2006 October 19, 2010 Destiny All Articles, Politics, Law & War, Sex, Video Fun
"Brad Miller even spent your tax dollars to pay teenage girls to watch pornographic movies with probes connected to their genitalia."
That's from a TV campaign ad by Vernon Robinson, who's trying to unseat incumbent Democrat Miller for the U.S. House of Representatives in the 13th District of North Carolina. In the process, he's created some of the most amusing campaign messages in recent memory.
Here's another, from the same ad:
"Brad Miller spent your money to study the masturbation habits of old men."
Robinson is an African-American and a rabid conservative Republican. In 2004, he lost a bid for the 5th District, but not before providing the locals with some high-concept political cabaret. He's so far to the right that the Winston-Salem Journal declared in an editorial about Robinson, "Jesse Helms is back! And this time, he's black." Robinson's campaign then adopted it as a slogan. A radio campaign ad was so controversial and borderline illegal that local station WSJS felt it had to pull all ads for the 5th District Primary.
His current campaign is wonderfully absurd and offensive, which makes it a joyful slapstick take on national politics. One radio ad uses a Mariachi soundtrack while claiming, "If Miller had his way, America would be nothing but one big fiesta for illegal aliens and homosexuals." And another, with banjo music in the background: "Hey all you illegals, put your shoes on. Go home. Don't come back now, y'hear?"
Beyond ads, Robinson pulled an old trick of his and suggested that since Miller is middle-aged and childless, he must be homosexual. Miller then felt he had to explain that his wife is unable to bear children due to the fact she had a hysterectomy and suffers from endometriosis.
Robinson's media savvy is matched only by his massive set of huevos. But the meanness is almost enough to feel sorry for Miller. Certainly, if they weren't both public figures, Robinson would be giving the keynote address at the yet-to-be-announced First Annual Griefer's Convention.

That IS awesome — it makes Rich Tarrant's ads in Vermont look tame. He's telling us here that Bernie Sanders favors rapists and child molestors, and is trying to get drug dealers to move next door to every single one of us (berniesrecord.com). But now…Vernon takes the cake!

Of course they're true. They were actual studies that were done with public funding that this guy indirectly provided. They are ridiculously reworded though, to make it sound like he had something to do with it.

Here are the facts about the Vernon "Let's get rid of all the minorities, hey wait a minute," Robinson's ad:
Dear Friends — you may see an ad soon that questions Congressman Miller's support for body armor for our troops. Every time I think Vernon Robinson cannot go any lower, he finds a new depth. Below is a non-partisan analysis of the latest television ad by the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania. It affirms that you can't believe everything you see on television!
Please share with your friends and neighbors and remind them if it comes from Vernon you should think twice about the source.
"XXX" Marks the Spot Where Campaign Ads Head South
Attack ad claims Rep. Miller voted to fund sex research but not body armor.
In an ad that many viewers will find distasteful, Republican House candidate Vernon Robinson accuses Democratic Rep. Brad Miller of voting to spend money on silly-sounding sex studies into masturbation, prostitution and arousal of teenage girls while trying "to deny our soldiers the body armor they need to save their lives."
We find the ad misleading on several counts. Miller did nothing that would have denied body armor for troops. There was no connection between the National Institutes of Health studies in question and funding for body armor. And despite the misleading way the ad belittles them, the sex studies had such stated goals as slowing the spread of AIDS, understanding homosexuality and improving the lives of senior citizens as their sexual function declines.
This ad first aired Sept. 25 in North Carolina. We'll leave our readers to judge for themselves whether masturbation, prostitution and sneering references to "XXX" and sex are proper subjects for a political ad. We'll confine ourselves to the ad's factual accuracy, which we find wanting.
Robinson for Congress Ad: "Pays for Sex"
Announcer: What kind of Congressman would try to deny our soldiers the body armor they need to save their lives?
(On Screen: Soldiers alongside a flag-draped coffin.)
Announcer: Well the answer is, your Congressman, Brad Miller. That's right, Brad Miller did not vote for the appropriation to pay for improved body armor for our troops. But Brad Miller has no trouble spending your money, he, he would just rather spend it on sex.
(On Screen: A Picture of Rep. Brad Miller with "XXX" printed over it.)
(Sound FX: Animal noises.)
Announcer: That's right, instead of spending money on sickle-cell research Brad Miller voted to spend your money to study the sex lives of Vietnamese prostitutes in San Francisco. Instead of spending money on cancer research, Brad Miller spent your money to study the masturbation habits of old men. Brad Miller spent your tax dollars to study something called the Bisexual Transgendered and Two-Spirited Aleutian Eskimos, whoever they are. Brad Miller even spent your tax dollars to pay teenage girls to watch pornographic movies with probes connected to their genitalia. Brad Miller pays for sex, but not for body armor for our troops. If Miller had better priorities, you wouldn't be having to hear this.
(On Screen: Images of soldiers in combat.)
Robinson: "I'm Vernon Robinson and I approved this message because Brad Miller is out of touch and soon, he'll be out of Congress."
Body armor falsehood
As we noted less than a week ago, both Democrats and Republicans in this particularly bitter election year are falsely trying to paint their opponents as somehow opposed to giving US troops the latest body armor. This Republican ad is just the latest bit of this malicious bunk.
Robinson's ad asks, "What kind of Congressman would try to deny our soldiers the body armor they need to save their lives?" and then goes on to say Miller "did not vote for the appropriations to pay for improved body armor"
It's true that Miller missed the October 2003 vote on an $87-billion supplemental appropriations measure for Iraq and Afghanistan that included $300 million for body armor. The ad fails to mention that Miller was on his way to Iraq at the time to visit the troops personally. More to the point, however, is that it is simply false to claim that Miller tried to "deny" body armor to anybody. As we said before, by the time of this vote the Pentagon was buying every piece of modern body armor that suppliers could produce using existing funds.
"XXX"-rated sex studies?
The ad then goes on to use the time-dishonored tactic of making fun of government-funded research by giving twisted or incomplete descriptions of the subject matter. "Miller has no trouble spending your money," says the announcer, his voice dripping with contempt, "he would just rather spend it on sex." On screen a large "XXX" appears over Miller's smiling photograph. The announcer continues, saying Miller "voted to spend your money to study the sex lives of Vietnamese prostitutes in San Francisco . . . spent your money to study the masturbation habits of old men . . . (and) something called the Bisexual Transgendered and Two-Spirited Aleutian Eskimos, whoever they are, (and) even spent your tax dollars to pay teenage girls to watch pornographic movies with probes connected to their genitalia."
It's true that Miller voted July 10, 2003 against a Republican amendment that would have forced the National Institutes of Health to cancel five specific research grants, including the four mentioned in the ad. It failed narrowly, 210-212. Those who voted with Miller included 164 other Democrats, 46 Republicans and one independent. Those who spoke in debate did not defend the specifics of the grants, but argued generally that NIH uses a system of peer review by scientists to allocate research money, and that the process shouldn't be made political.

David Obey of Wisconsin said, for example, "I would rather trust the judgment of 10 doctors sitting around a table than I would 10 politicians sitting around a table when we decide how to allocate taxpayer money for those grants."
A look at the documentation for these grants also reveals that they are not exactly as Robinson's ad describes them. We deal with each in turn:
"Vietnamese Prostitutes": This study was an effort to find a way to prevent the spread of AIDS. It was proposed in 2001 by the University of California San Francisco, to "describe drug use and HIV-related behaviors among Asian female commercial sex workers at massage parlors" in the area. The study was awarded $1,726,536 from Fiscal 2002-2004 according to NIH documents.
"Masturbation Habits of Old Men": Masturbating was included as one part of a much larger study on how declining sexual function affects the quality of life of elderly men. The research would, according to the proposal summary, "provide the most comprehensive picture to date of the sexual behavior of aging men." The project was awarded in August 2001 according to NIH documents and had received $137,378 in funding by Fiscal 2002. It was proposed in response to a recommendation by the NIH to conduct additional research on aging and sexual function.
"Two-Spirited Aleutian Eskimos": This grant didn't just deal with "Eskimos," it attempted to gain a national picture of homosexuality, bisexuality, transgender and "two-spirited" individuals in the American Indian and Alaskan Native populations. The term "two-spirit" refers simply to Native Americans involved in same-sex relationships, according to a definition posted on the North East Two Spirit Society's website . The proposal envisioned 400 interviews about sexual risk and drug and alcohol use. Between fiscal years 2002 and 2006 the project received $2,368,017. According to the proposal submitted to the NIH the grant ends May 31, 2007.
"Teenage Girls": This grant actually proposed to study sexual arousal in 180 lesbian, bisexual and heterosexual "women," and makes no mention of "teenage girls" as test subjects as the ad claims. The proposal received $147,000 between fiscal years 2001 and 2002 but was not funded in fiscal 2003.
Pays for sex?
The ad concludes by saying, "Brad Miller pays for sex, but not for body armor for our troops. If Miller had better priorities, you wouldn't be having to hear this."
Saying Miller "pays for sex" makes it sound as though he's hiring the services of prostitutes, though Robinson offers no evidence of that. And saying it's Miller's fault that viewers are "having to hear this" gets things backwards. It was Robinson's decision to put this fact-twisting bunk on the air. If he had greater respect for the facts you wouldn't have to be reading this.

Sinister Walrus says:
Brad Miller would get my vote if I lived there. Regardless of the fact that the man sounds more appealing as a leader anyways, derogatory campaign ads such as the ones Vernon Robinson has engaged in immediatly incline me towards the recipient of said ads. Such actions imply insecurity, weakness, and fear; qualities I find repulsive and disquieting in a leader of my people. If you cannot win an election through your own behavior, you are unworthy. Why further dishonor yourself by resorting to such childish bickering as "Oh yeah? Well, um……..he did this and this and this, so, um, I'm better than him!". It's disgusting. Accept your defeat, congratulate your opponent, and concentrate on becoming better so you succeed the next go round. That is all.
Ultraman says:
In regards to this Brad Miller site, have you all seen that the exact same ad is used for a Congressional ad for Paul Nelson in Wisconsin? Anyone know anything about this cookie-cutter political ad agency peddling these ads from district to district?
I'm sorry, but even V.Robinson's 'pushing the edge' ads are deserved by
B.Miller……he does NOT represent traditional N.C. resident values in the
least; I can't for the life of me figure out how he ever got elected. And his
record shows he's one of the least effective representatives of the 435 in
office……no pride to expunge from North Carolinians……he's almost to John Edward's senatorial level of mainly taking up space.

Dr. Thomas William Hoffer was born on May 31, 1938, in Toledo, Iowa, the son of Martin H. and Margaret K. (Plum) Hoffer. Hoffer attended Toledo High School, graduating in 1955. Later that year, he enrolled at the State University of Iowa, where he earned his B.A. in 1960. Following his college graduation, Hoffer briefly worked at WITI-TV, a Milwaukee, WI television station, from 1960 to 1961.
In 1961, Hoffer enrolled in Officer Candidate School in Newport, RI. Later year, he was stationed at the US Naval Base at Yokosuka Bay, Japan. Hoffer served on the USS Bon Homme Richard, nicknamed the "Bonnie Dick." On board, Hoffer served in the Communications Department from 1961 to 1963; he also became part of the newly re-structured US Naval Communications State at Yokosuka. He was promoted to Lieutenant (junior grade), served in the Pacific from 1961 until 1964, and retired from active duty in order to enroll at the University of Wisconsin, Madison (Hoffer remained in the Naval Reserves for several more years). His service during that time included an assignment in Vietnam. He received the Vietnam Service Medal and the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal, and was honorably discharged at the rank of Lieutenant Commander.
Hoffer retired from active duty in 1964, but remained a member of the US Naval Reserve Program, assigned to the Ninth Naval District in Great Lakes, Illinois. He served two weeks of active duty in 1968 aboard the USS Wright, while still in graduate school at the University of Wisconsin, as a Radio-Television Officer and was eventually promoted to Lieutenant Commander and Supply Officer.
Hoffer attended the University of Wisconsin in 1964, where he earned a Masters Degree in Speech Communication in 1969. His M.A. thesis was "Norman Baker and American Broadcasting." Hoffer continued his doctoral studies at the University of Wisconsin, focusing on film and mass communication. He majored in Communication Arts, and minored in Journalism. Hoffer completed his doctorate in 1972. From 1972 until his retirement in 1996, Hoffer was a professor in the Department of Communication at Florida State University (FSU). He was particularly interested in mass media, photojournalism, and documentary film, and taught classes in documentary film making before the establishment of the FSU Film School. When he retired in 1996, he became the founding publisher of The Franklin Chronicle, a local newspaper distributed in Franklin, Gulf, and Wakulla counties. He died in Tallahassee on December 9, 2006.

Climate of Hate: Who Could Not Have Seen This Coming?
When you heard the terrible news from Arizona, were you completely surprised? Or were you, at some level, expecting something like this atrocity to happen?
Put me in the latter category. I've had a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach ever since the final stages of the 2008 campaign. I remembered the upsurge in political hatred after Bill Clinton's election in 1992 — an upsurge that culminated in the Oklahoma City bombing. And you could see, just by watching the crowds at McCain-Palin rallies, that it was ready to happen again. The Department of Homeland Security reached the same conclusion: in April 2009 an internal report warned that right-wing extremism was on the rise, with a growing potential for violence.
Conservatives denounced that report. But there has, in fact, been a rising tide of threats and vandalism aimed at elected officials, including both Judge John Roll, who was killed Saturday, and Representative Gabrielle Giffords. One of these days, someone was bound to take it to the next level. And now someone has.
It's true that the shooter in Arizona appears to have been mentally troubled. But that doesn't mean that his act can or should be treated as an isolated event, having nothing to do with the national climate.
Last spring Politico.com reported on a surge in threats against members of Congress, which were already up by 300 percent. A number of the people making those threats had a history of mental illness — but something about the current state of America has been causing far more disturbed people than before to act out their illness by threatening, or actually engaging in, political violence.
And there's not much question what has changed. As Clarence Dupnik, the sheriff responsible for dealing with the Arizona shootings, put it, it's "the vitriolic rhetoric that we hear day in and day out from people in the radio business and some people in the TV business." The vast majority of those who listen to that toxic rhetoric stop short of actual violence, but some, inevitably, cross that line.
It's important to be clear here about the nature of our sickness. It's not a general lack of "civility," the favorite term of pundits who want to wish away fundamental policy disagreements. Politeness may be a virtue, but there's a big difference between bad manners and calls, explicit or implicit, for violence; insults aren't the same as incitement.
The point is that there's room in a democracy for people who ridicule and denounce those who disagree with them; there isn't any place for eliminationist rhetoric, for suggestions that those on the other side of a debate must be removed from that debate by whatever means necessary.
And it's the saturation of our political discourse — and especially our airwaves — with eliminationist rhetoric that lies behind the rising tide of violence.
Where's that toxic rhetoric coming from? Let's not make a false pretense of balance: it's coming, overwhelmingly, from the right. It's hard to imagine a Democratic member of Congress urging constituents to be "armed and dangerous" without being ostracized; but Representative Michele Bachmann, who did just that, is a rising star in the G.O.P.
And there's a huge contrast in the media. Listen to Rachel Maddow or Keith Olbermann, and you'll hear a lot of caustic remarks and mockery aimed at Republicans. But you won't hear jokes about shooting government officials or beheading a journalist at The Washington Post. Listen to Glenn Beck or Bill O'Reilly, and you will.
Of course, the likes of Mr. Beck and Mr. O'Reilly are responding to popular demand. Citizens of other democracies may marvel at the American psyche, at the way efforts by mildly liberal presidents to expand health coverage are met with cries of tyranny and talk of armed resistance. Still, that's what happens whenever a Democrat occupies the White House, and there's a market for anyone willing to stoke that anger.
But even if hate is what many want to hear, that doesn't excuse those who pander to that desire. They should be shunned by all decent people.
Unfortunately, that hasn't been happening: the purveyors of hate have been treated with respect, even deference, by the G.O.P. establishment. As David Frum, the former Bush speechwriter, has put it, "Republicans originally thought that Fox worked for us and now we're discovering we work for Fox."
So will the Arizona massacre make our discourse less toxic? It's really up to G.O.P. leaders. Will they accept the reality of what's happening to America, and take a stand against eliminationist rhetoric? Or will they try to dismiss the massacre as the mere act of a deranged individual, and go on as before?
If Arizona promotes some real soul-searching, it could prove a turning point. If it doesn't, Saturday's atrocity will be just the beginning.

Tea Bags, Wind Bags, and Moneybags
Born Again Baggers?: Joe Wilson, Jim DeMint, Rick Scott, Sharon Angle (clockwise from top left)
So let's say you're a Republican politician who's been working the far right side of the political highway for years, getting little national attention other than the occasional shout-out in Human Events. Or let's say you're a sketchy business buccaneer with a few million smackers burning a hole in your pocket, and you've decided that you'd like to live in the governor's mansion for a while, but you can't get the local GOP to see you as anything more than a walking checkbook who funds other people's dreams.
What do you do? That's easy: Get yourself in front of the loudest parade in town by becoming a Tea Party Activist!
There has been incessant discussion over the last year about the size, character, and intentions of the Tea Party rank-and-file. But, by and large, the political discussion has passed over another defining phenomenon: The beatific capacity of Tea Party membership, which enables virtually anyone with ambition to whitewash his hackishness—and transform from a has-been or huckster into an idealist on a crusade.
After all, to become a "Tea Party favorite" or a "Tea Party loyalist," all a politician has to do is say that he or she is one—and maybe grab an endorsement from one of many hundreds of local groups around the country. It's even possible to become indentified as the "Tea Party" candidate simply by entering a primary against a Republican who voted for TARP, the Medicare Prescription Drug bill, or No Child Left Behind. It's not like there's much upside to distancing oneself from the movement. Most Republican pols are as friendly as can be to the Tea Party; and it's a rare, self-destructive elephant who would emulate Lindsey Graham's dismissal of it all as a passing fad (in public at least).
Here, we'll take a look at two specific types of politicians who have been especially eager to embrace the Tea Party movement: the fringier of conservative ideologues, for one, and also the self-funded ego freaks who can easily pose as "outsiders," because no "insiders" would take them seriously. Let's call these, respectively, the windbags and the moneybags.
By "fringier" conservative ideologues, I mean those who have argued, year in and year out, sometimes for decades, that even the conservative Republican Party simply is not conservative enough. Many of these politicians would be considered washed-up and isolated, or at least eccentric, in an era when "Party Wrecking" was still treated as a cardinal GOP sin. But now it's as if they've been granted a license to kill. One classic example of this type is South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint, who was considered such a crank in the Senate that he was often stuck eating lunch alone as recently as 2008. His views, for example that Social Security and public schools are symbols of the seduction of Americans by socialism, were not long ago considered far outside the GOP mainstream. Now, in no small part because of his identification with the Tea Party Movement, DeMint has become an avenging angel roaming across the country to smite RINOs in Republican primaries, his imprimatur sought by candidates far from the Palmetto State.
Then there's the new House Tea Party Caucus, chaired by Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, best known for suggesting that House Democrats be investigated for treason. Its members include a rich assortment of long-time conservative cranks, including Steve ("Racial profiling is an important part of law enforcement") King, Joe ("You lie!") Wilson, Paul ("We've elected a Marxist to be President of the United States") Broun, Dan (Vince Foster Was Murdered!) Burton, and Phil (National Journal's Most Conservative House Member in 2007) Gingrey. The key here is that these are not freshly minted "outsiders": Burton has been in Congress for 28 years, Wilson for ten, King and Gingrey for eight. The oldest member of the House, Ralph Hall of Texas, who has been around for 30 years, is also a member of the caucus.
Even some of the younger Tea Party firebrands didn't exactly emerge from their living rooms on April 15, 2009, to battle the stimulus legislation and Obamacare. Marco Rubio of Florida, after all, was first elected to the state legislature ten years ago and served as House Speaker under the protective wing of his political godfather, Jeb Bush. Sharron Angle first ran for office 20 years ago, and was elected to the Nevada legislature twelve years back. And of course the Pauls, father and son, are hardly political neophytes—they have just begun to look relevant again because the Tea Party movement has shifted the GOP in their direction
And, in addition to the hard-right pols who've emerged into the sunshine of GOP respectability, the "outsider" meme surrounding the Tea Party movement has also created running room for well-funded opportunists—the "moneybags."
These are epitomized by Rick Scott of Florida, who probably would not have passed the most rudimentary smell test in a "normal" election year. While there are always self-funding egomaniacs running for office—California's Meg Whitman comes to mind along with Connecticut's Linda McMahon—the former hospital executive presents a unique test case for the whitewashing power of Tea Party identification. He has managed to overcome a deeply embarrassing embroilment in the largest Medicare fraud case in history by taking his golden parachute from Columbia-HCA and becoming a right-wing crusader against health care reform, helping to make that a central cause for the Tea Party movement. (Scott was forced out of his position as head of the for-profit hospital chain, which he tried to build into the "McDonald's of health care," and the organization was fined $1.7 billion for overcharging the federal government.)
Pushed out of his job after the fraud decision, Scott decided to found the Conservatives for Patients' Rights (CPR) group that exploded onto the national scene early in 2009 with a series of inflammatory TV ads attacking health reform, employing the same firm that crafted the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth spots against John Kerry in 2004. CPR also played a major role in organizing the town hall meeting protests in the summer of 2009, which marked the Tea Party movement's transition from a focus on TARP and the economic stimulus bill to a broader conservative agenda.
So when Scott (a Missouri native who moved to Florida in 2003) suddenly jumped into the Florda governor's race early in 2010, the cleansing power of tea had already transformed his image among conservatives, making his improbable campaign possible.
On the wrong side of this dynamic was Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum, a former congressman and sturdy, if conventional, conservative who had paid his dues by twice running unsuccessfully for the Senate. McCollum had apparently all but locked up the nomination when Scott, in mid-April, leapt into the ring with ads calling himself a "conservative outsider" who would "run our state like a business," while tarring McCollum as the candidate of "Tallahassee insiders" responsible for "the failed policies of the past." Then came a torrent of advertising from Scott ($22 million by mid-July, more than anyone's ever spent in Florida in an entire primary/general-election cycle) blasting McCollum for alleged corruption, for insufficient hostility toward illegal immigration, for being soft on abortion providers. The assault voided a lifetime of McCollum's toil in the party vineyards, vaulting the previously unknown Scott into the lead in polls by early June. Worse yet, from a Republican point of view, Scott drove up McCollum's negatives, and increasingly his own, to toxic levels, handing Democrat Alex Sink the lead in a July general election poll. And now McCollum, fighting for his life, is striking back, drawing as much publicity as he can to Scott's questionable past, especially the Medicare fraud case against Columbia-HCA.
So the question is: Would Rick Scott have been in a position to carry out what is beginning to look like a murder-suicide pact on the GOP's gubernatorial prospects if he hadn't been able to identify himself as an "outsider conservative" with close ties to the Tea Party? That's not likely, but it's no less likely than the remarkable epiphanies that have made career pols of marginal relevance such as Jim DeMint and Sharron Angle into apostles of an exciting new citizens' movement. So the next time you hear a candidate posturing on behalf of the Tea Party, squint and try to imagine what they were like in their former lives. Many of them have only found respectability through the healing power of tea.

There's nothing quite like the buzz of being on a live construction site. During Open Doors, you can borrow a hard hat and rub shoulders with people from all walks of life, doing a diverse range of roles on projects that shape the world around you.
All doors open in construction
Bouygues UK, one of many construction companies taking part in Open Doors, is welcoming visitors to 12 of their sites in England and Wales.
At the Baroness Road Infill Site, Bouygues UK is turning an old car park into much-needed housing for the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Alison Cormack, Resident Liaison Officer, says it's great to get interested people in to experience what it's like to work onsite.
"We give out the same protective gear that our workers have and do a short induction to show people the ropes.
"Then before we have a look around, we ask people from a range of trades to give a quick talk about how they got into construction. Everyone has a different story!
"One of our young engineers said her family wanted her to go into nursing or education – seen as 'traditional professions' for women. Her auntie tried to put her off: 'You don't want to fix cars for a living!' They had no idea what civil engineering was – but they're very proud of her now.
"And we have an architect who was in the army for 20 years before retraining. It just shows it doesn't matter what your background is – there's always space for you in construction.
"I was in childcare originally, which made the move into construction health and safety somehow seem straightforward," she smiles. "Now I'm a point of contact for local communities. It works for me because I'm naturally interested in people and care about our relationships with our neighbours and the communities where they live."

Over at Pontoon Dock, more than 250 workers are constructing 236 apartments in 3 blocks with impressive views across the River Thames in East London. There's so much going on!
"I'm the site manager for Block C," says Bruno de Blois, a civil works engineer for Bouygues UK. "I'm responsible for the quality and progress of work here, as well as the safety of everyone in my team.
"I have to make sure that we get the job done in the right way at the right time. I need to get tools, materials and workers where they should be, when they should be.
"I use a special app on my iPad to help me keep track of progress. Soon we'll be using 360° cameras in every room that relay the latest updates to us.
"There are 47 tasks that have to be done successfully before each apartment is finished – and that's just for the internal work.
"That covers everything from dry lining to joinery to electrics to tiling. After plastering, we put a mist coating on the walls, a very fine layer of paint that helps to show up every little imperfection. Our quality controllers check everything is right before we sign it off.
"I love my job. I was lucky enough to spend time in Australia as part of my training. My parents say that I've wanted to work in construction since I was 4 – but I don't remember saying it back then," he laughs.
Exciting new tech!
Bruno's colleague Sylvain Ruggi, the project lead, is particularly proud of trialling new technology at Pontoon Dock.
"We were so delighted that Pontoon Dock won the company's Top Site Innovation award, chosen above more than a thousand other Bouygues projects around the world.
"We're using all kinds of monitors and devices to improve the site environment for workers and our neighbours. But new technology is making our work easier and more efficient too.
"With Building Information Modelling (BIM) we can create 3D designs to help us view things from any angle. As we build, we take 3D scans of the work and compare them to our plans so that we're able to detect the smallest variations down to the millimetre.
"We're getting in new trainees to operate our new technology. And it's great we have so many women working here too, particularly in our production, quantity surveying and design teams."
Meanwhile in Lower Broughton, Manchester, you can see the vital work underway to restore the Grade ll listed building, Church of Ascension. This beautiful Victorian building, designed by architect James Medland Taylor, was completely gutted by fire after an arson attack in 2017.
"It hit the community hard, as the church had just undergone a £250,000 refurbishment," says Albert Hardman, the site manager working for Seddon, the main contractor, "but they campaigned to bring it back to its former glory and the funding was found."
"One of the first things we're doing is stabilising what's left of the building. We're using hundreds of tonnes of scaffolding to keep it in place. It's quite a sight!
"As we replace the damaged sandstone columns 3 at a time, we prop up the building on special jacks. Stonemasons are replicating the fine stonework that was damaged, and plaster experts are recreating the historic mouldings from tiny surviving pieces, scaling up from 3D models.
"It's very satisfying to return this building back to the community, one of the reasons I'm so happy to be working in construction. I left school at 15 and became a labourer, but then followed my brother into hairdressing for 4 years. It wasn't for either of us; he joined the army, and I went back to construction.
"I'm so glad I did. You don't have to start out with qualifications, but if you work hard and show some skill, you'll go far."
