ADAAG uses several terms to describe different types of pedestrian routes or paths through a given facility. These include: Circulation Path, Accessible Route, Path of Travel and Accessible Path of Travel. Accessibility is not limited to buildings; it is an extension of the route to the site and circulation through the site and buildings. In this course, we will review and discuss the design requirements of accessible routes.
This one hour course will empower project teams and design professionals to take leading roles in using materials selection to promote human health and protect the environment.
Materials make the built environment possible, and collectively, the effects of millions of materials choices have massive consequences for the ecosystem and human health at local, regional, and global scales. Selecting materials with desirable human health and environmental attributes that deliver comparable or improved function, durability, and maintainability—has always been an important component of green building.
In this course, the participant will discover how to address social equity within the community and supply chain as it applies to LEED Social Equity Pilot Credits.

The average American spends the vast majority of their time indoors. However, most people are not unaware of the numerous chemicals and materials they are exposed to on a daily basis, nor do they understand the hazards associated with these substances. As such, the need for a standardized way of reporting the health impacts of building materials is desperately needed. In this one-hour course, the design professional will become familiar with the Health Product Declaration (HPD), a material ingredient reporting standard developed under the guidance of the HPD Collaborative.

It is back in 2009 when Matt Cutts, in his blog wrote about Google incorporating the consideration of site speed while awarding good ranks to websites. However, Matt Cutts assured that this system did not have deep impact in large set of rankings. It does not even cause big nerve wrecking troubles to the site owners. Still, there is every reason to take the site speed seriously, as it improves user experience apart from passively controlling the site's rank.
At that time, Google did not divulge clearly, how and through what metrics it was going to use for making page-loading speed a deciding factor for its rank. The patent on that matter released by Google on 4 February explains it with details. It explains that between two resources with information about the same query, the fastest loading site will be preferable to the visitors.
The 'PageSpeed Insight' tool by Google helps sites to understand how well they score on the basis of certain rules that are involved in the process. The patent has clear indication about the rules that are followed in this process. However, a little technical help from developers or people experienced in site-speed optimizing might be required for implementing them.
The patent focuses on certain points like, the number of images used in the site, the size of its resource, the web server, the network connection's involvement in the loading of its resource, etc. While, comparing the loading speed between two resources Google usually confine itself to the devices being used in the same nation and that using the same browser.
The patent also contains details about how the tool can predict the probable loading time of certain pages and sites. Till now, it is not going to show the details about resource's loading time on mobile devices. The factor is hardly going to make a huge impact on the page rank until and unless comparison is being made between two sites with very similar amount and type of information. Higher loading time can get a site demoted to a lower page rank, based purely on user experience quality.

This one is from a few weeks ago. Sorry for the delay! The weather is finally getting nice. Not a lot of leaves yet in this series, but it was nice to be outside. Not pictured in this post is the hundreds of dogs that were out enjoying the sunshine too.
Loads of frogs in this pond.
Here I am staring at the frogs. Or maybe trying to find the source of the noise. I can't remember. But it was definitely frog spotting.

Retention Basin
The purpose of the retention basin is to collect "non-point-source discharge" (the run-off from the lots in Kuau Bayview) so that the sediment can settle out instead of going directly into the ocean. This requirement for all new developments stems from the 1948 Clean Water Act as amended in 1972.
In 2005 the basin was bulldozed for $9000 and then has been mowed every 3 months by The Green Team for $450 each time. After all this money, the basin looks almost identical to how it looked in 2004. Most of these photos were taken in 2004. The Association owns real property title to this land - Retention Basin Deed.

How can the interaction design of a collaborative-competitive environment promote physical activity and social play in children (6-9 y/o) with cerebral palsy?
-Gamification / social play
– Collaborative Competitive Environment
– Physical Activities
1. How can strategies of #interaction design engage and reward children with CP to enhance their Physical Activity levels?
—- Strategies of interactions refers to rewards and the game mechanics (the tools used to create the environment)
2. How can the #interactive behaviors of an #interface stimulate Social Interactions and Physical Activity of children with CP?
—- Interactive behaviors refers to social engagement loops (a motivating emotion that leads a player to re-engage with the environment), and game dynamics (how players interact with the experiences in the environment)
3. How can a collaborative-competitive design environment encourage Team Building among children with CP?
—- Collaborative-competitive design environment refers to intergroup competition, where they collaborate with team members (in the same physical space) and compete against other teams (in a remote location)
4. How can the design of a mobile App help teachers and parents of children with cerebral palsy measure progress of their fitness level?
—- The mobile app allows the parents to keep track of the children's progress to involve them in their development
– The people involved in the child's development, and their #environment.
– The mediation of facilitating physical activity and social interactions
– Fostering of skills, empowerment, and confidence
