Cements in Nebraska: NDOR Research Into FlyAsh AlternativesJill Reeves
This document summarizes information about cements used in Nebraska. It discusses that cements are made from crushed rock like limestone, shale and iron ore that are heated to high temperatures. It then explains that changes in emission standards in the late 1970s-1980s resulted in changes to cements' alkali content, which increased instances of alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in concrete. The document reviews how Nebraska investigated this and now requires cements to meet specific chemical ratios to mitigate ASR. It outlines current specifications that allow various cement blends with supplementary cementitious materials like fly ash or slag to control the calcium to silica ratio and prevent ASR issues.

The document discusses ways to control problems in concrete like porosity, moisture damage, and corrosion. It focuses on crystal growth liquid products that can permanently fill pores and block moisture movement in concrete. These products use hydrophilic and sometimes hygroscopic crystals to seal concrete from the inside. They continue working even under pressure and reactivate when moisture is present. The crystals provide waterproofing and protection against contaminants in a way that is environmentally friendly and long-lasting with a single application. The cost of preventative treatment with these products is compared to ongoing repair costs from doing nothing as concrete deteriorates.

Public Art Is (Re)connection: people, heritage and spacesMarta Pucciarelli
Keynote speech at the Public Art Inside Out Symposium, 7-8 May 2024, organized by Getty Conservation Center and MUDEC in Milan. “Public art is (re)connection” is co-authored with Princess Marilyn Douala Bell.
1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.
Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...Ben Linders
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.
