The document summarizes an urban planning information web portal for the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona. The portal provides access to digitized urban planning documents for the 36 municipalities in the area, displayed on a new 1:1000 scale topographic map composed of 1727 tiles. Users can view information on zoning designations, regulated areas, historic buildings, and volumetric specifications. The goal is to provide a homogeneous view of urban planning across the entire metropolitan region to aid public consultation and municipal administrative tasks.
The City of Santa Clarita’s new streetscape design incorporates the towns history into the new design. New seating and planting areas have a western feel that ties back to Santa Clarita’s western history and the Western Walk of Fame plaques were laid out in the new paving. I worked from the beginning of the project to help create preliminary designs and construction documents. Old Town Newhall is a large scale project and required a lot of work to create the preliminary designs’ presentations. Within the office we had two different concepts and I was involved in helping impute and finish the final product for city review. I was also involved in creating the final construction documents for biding and construction. A modern western design would allow several gathering spaces for visitors and be visually interesting.

45th Anniversary Of 1968 Soviet-Led Invasion Of Czechoslovakia
Soviet troops and most of their Warsaw Pact allies invaded Czechoslovakia on August 21, 1968, to halt political liberalization in the country called the Prague Spring.
About 500,000 troops invaded and occupied Czechoslovakia in an operation code-named "Danube." Some 500 Czechoslovaks were wounded and 108 killed in the invasion, which successfully ended political and economic reforms under the leadership of Alexander Dubcek and gave the Communist Party greater authority.
The Soviet-led invasion helped establish the Brezhnev Doctrine, which Moscow said allowed the U.S.S.R. to intervene in any country where a Communist government was under threat. The occupation of Czechoslovakia lasted until 1991.

Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd
Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
