First Bicycle Boulevards for Perth - Smart Transport WA Bicycle boulevards are new to Perth, yet they are used around the world in cities such as Portland, Seattle and Amsterdam. Bicycle boulevard users are not fast cyclists. They are mums, dads, children, senior citizens and others making short to medium length trips on bikes to schools, train stations or shops. The Cities of Bayswater, Belmont and Vincent are participating in the pilot project, working with State Government to develop locations that would best suit Bike Boulevards. Bicycle boulevards need to be located on local streets with low traffic volumes and speeds, providing bike riders with: Safe and comfortable bike routes on streets with lane markings.Priority over cars – cars must give way to bike riders.An easy, on-street link to local destinations or major bike routes. The lower speed road creates a safer environment for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. To learn more visit the Safe Active Streets Program page.
Evolution of the LEGO logo The red, white, yellow, and black LEGO logo is synonymous with one of the world’s largest toy manufacturers, but it didn’t always look so familiar. Photo by Faiz Zaki, in Putrajaya, Malaysia. The story began in 1932, when carpenter and joiner Ole Kirk Kristiansen established his business in the village of Billund, Denmark, manufacturing stepladders, ironing boards, stools, and wooden toys. His son Godtfred Kirk Christiansen started working in the business alongside him, aged just 12. The first product line, 1932. In 1934, Ole’s company and its products adopted the name LEGO, an abbreviation of the two Danish words “leg godt,” meaning “play well.” Ole Kirk Christiansen at his desk, 1934. This ink stamp “LEGO Fabriken Billund” was first used on wooden toys in 1936. LEGO’s wooden cars, 1938. LEGO’s wooden duck, mid-1930s. The factory had 10 employees by the time this logo iteration was introduced in 1939 or 1940. Automatic Binding Bricks, 1949. LEGO Mursten packaging, 1953. Late 1954.
Beautiful/Decay Cult of the Creative Arts denisandernach The True Costs of Driving - The Atlantic (* with apologies to Donald Shoup) A new report from Tony Dutzik, Gideon Weissman and Phineas Baxandall confirms, in tremendous detail, a very basic fact of transportation finance that’s widely disbelieved or ignored: drivers don’t come close to paying the costs of the roads they use. Published jointly by the Frontier Groups and U. S. PIRG Education Fund, Who Pays for Roads exposes the “user pays” myth. The report documents that the amount that road users pay through gas taxes now accounts for less than half of what we spend to maintain and expand the road system. While recent congressional bailouts of the Highway Trust Fund have made the subsidy more apparent, it has actually never been the case that road users paid their own way. There are good reasons to believe that the methodology of Who Pays for Roads, if anything, considerably understates the subsidies to private vehicle operation. Think about air travel for a moment.
El nuevo edificio de Apple está hecho para personas mayores Una gigantesca nave espacial acaba de aterrizar en Cupertino. Este verano, 12.000 empleados de Apple comenzarán a trasladarse a este enorme edificio en forma de disco, que ha tardado ocho años en construirse y cuyo coste podría ascender a 5.000 millones de dólares, lo que le convertiría en el edificio de oficinas más caro del mundo. Apple Park es el último proyecto póstumo de Steve Jobs; un proyecto que recuerda al Palacio del Pueblo de Nicolae Ceausescu en Bucarest. Jobs, como buen fanático del control, se encargó de todos los detalles, insistiendo en la calidad de los materiales. Si yo fuera accionista de Apple, no estaría muy contento. La ostentación en el decorado de la sede central de una compañía siempre ha sido una señal de que se cierne la calamidad. Como observadora de oficinas, estoy encantada. Primero, hemos perdido la confianza en las oficinas en general. La segunda tendencia negativa es la línea cada vez más estrecha que separa nuestros hogares y oficinas.
artINTERVIEWS 1. Ola! Could you kindly introduce yourself and tell us where your from? Hello! My name is Gavin Strange and I’m originally from Leicester, in the midlands but I now call Bristol home, and I wouldn’t wanna be anywhere else! 2. Haha, well, I desperately wanted a ‘cool’ alter ego when I was first starting out, trying to do my own thing in my own time. 3. A bit of everything! 4. I studied Graphic Design at my local college back home in Leicester but then I joined a small design agency soon after (I didnt go to Uni) where I was taught the ways of being a Web designer. 5. I’ve always doodled but have always been rubbish at making stuff with my hands. 6. Luck! 7. Start the day with a tea. 8. Clipper Organic Fair Trade tea. 9. Yeap, the sheer simplicity of the machine and the aesthetic. 10. The Bristol scene is really healthy, full of a huge variety of people of all ages, backgrounds and interests, all coming together just because they love riding. 11. 12. 13. 14. Everything! 15. 16. 17. 18.
