Scaling Competency-Based Education: Equity-Focused Strategies for Policy and Practice – Vander Ark on Innovation | Simple Foam Noise Barrier

A rainscreen is an exterior wall detail where the siding (wall cladding) stands off from the moisture-resistant surface of an air barrier applied to the sheathing (sheeting) to create a capillary break and to allow drainage and evaporation. The rain screen is the siding itself but the term rainscreen implies a system of building. Ideally the rain screen prevents the wall air/moisture barrier on sheathing from getting wet., ,

The glue remains flexible and acts as a sound barrier and can reduce sound transfer by up to 20 percent. And when finished it looks just like an ordinary ceiling — except that it will be quieter, since the sound vibrations won’t travel through it as well. Walls can be treated using insulation, a sound barrier and sound isolation clips as pictured below and available at http://www.soundisolationcompany.com/.

Designed for use in internal and external environments to provide both protection and managed access control

The building codes require that deck railings be designed and constructed to meet specific requirements for strength.

Fixings every 200mm and synthetic rubber EPDM inserts at each fixing virtually eliminate rattle during play. Tests under the same conditions measured the noise from ball impacts on traditional wooden hockey boards at 97dB, whilst Zaun’s system rated only 68dB. A clamp bar covering the panel ends ensures a safe playing surface with no sharp edges.

Hours Items Can Be Dropped Off: Sundays 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. ; Wednesdays 10 a.m. to noon.; or call to make arrangements

One foggy January evening in 1994, Gibson was chatting with a friend in front of Rosedale’s central hangout, the Double Quick, a convenience store, gas station, and lunch counter where Gibson last saw his former high-school classmate Patrice Horsley. Both of them were 22.

Staggered double skin mesh panel, effective against the use of conventional hand and portable power cutting tools

The engineer tested the penthouse to find the problematic noise frequencies, then used accelerometers to measure the shaking. She determined which noises were airborne and which were from vibration. With that information she was able to specify materials and construction methods that would hush the rattle and hum.

In October, Stairways Programming, a low-barrier transitional housing program that served 30 people, announced it would be closing its doors at the end of 2018. Its executive director, Michael Madieros, told the CN&R part of the decision was personal; he’d suffered a heart attack. He’d also begun planning for a remodel of the place and the cost to fix existing problems or rebuild were prohibitive, he said.

Makeup sponges are perhaps the greatest invention when it comes to flawless foundation application, but keeping them sanitary can be a challenge. This carrying case solves that problem. The case protects your blender from contact with surfaces that may carry germs, but still allows for proper ventilation so that blenders dry quickly — which prevents the growth of bacteria. The flexible, shatter-proof case holds up to two blenders at a time.

Meanwhile, Jody Jones was re-elected to the Paradise Town Council and reappointed as mayor. In Biggs, Councilwoman Angela Thompson was the top vote-earner.
