This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Standard provides a guideline and methodology for assessing the condition and performance of existing building envelope systems and components, and identifying problematic and dysfunctional elements. As the adaptive reuse, rehabilitation, and improvement of existing buildings have assumed a more prominent role in meeting national needs, the ability to accurately assess the conditions of a building is imperative. The condition of the building envelope is most important since failures can result in safety and health problems, as well as structural damage. Proper evaluation of the building envelope is often the first step toward stabilization and rehabilitation of the building. This Standard is a compilation of basic information, procedures, and references, and will be an asset to the investigator developing a logical approach to the assessment of the building envelope in order to focus on fundamental defects rather than outward symptoms.

Download or read book The Floating World written by C. Morgan Babst and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Set in New Orleans, this important and powerful novel follows the Boisdoré family . . . in the months after Katrina. A profound, moving and authentically detailed picture of the storm’s emotional impact on those who lived through it.” —People In this dazzling debut about family, home, and grief, C. Morgan Babst takes readers into the heart of Hurricane Katrina and the life of a great city. As the storm is fast approaching the Louisiana coast, Cora Boisdoré refuses to leave the city. Her parents, Joe Boisdoré, an artist descended from freed slaves who became the city’s preeminent furniture makers, and his white “Uptown” wife, Dr. Tess Eshleman, are forced to evacuate without her, setting off a chain of events that leaves their marriage in shambles and Cora catatonic—the victim or perpetrator of some violence mysterious even to herself. This mystery is at the center of Babst’s haunting and profound novel. Cora’s sister, Del, returns to New Orleans from the successful life she built in New York City to find her hometown in ruins and her family deeply alienated from one another. As Del attempts to figure out what happened to her sister, she must also reckon with the racial history of the city and the trauma of a disaster that was not, in fact, some random act of God but an avoidable tragedy visited on New Orleans’s most vulnerable citizens. Separately and together, each member of the Boisdoré clan must find the strength to remake home in a city forever changed. The Floating World is the Katrina story that needed to be told—one with a piercing, unforgettable loveliness and a vivid, intimate understanding of this particular place and its tangled past.

Download or read book Let Us Have Peace written by Brooks D. Simpson and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-06-30 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians have traditionally drawn distinctions between Ulysses S. Grant's military and political careers. In Let Us Have Peace, Brooks Simpson questions such distinctions and offers a new understanding of this often enigmatic leader. He argues that during the 1860s Grant was both soldier and politician, for military and civil policy were inevitably intertwined during the Civil War and Reconstruction era. According to Simpson, Grant instinctively understood that war was 'politics by other means.' Moreover, he realized that civil wars presented special challenges: reconciliation, not conquest, was the Union's ultimate goal. And in peace, Grant sought to secure what had been won in war, stepping in to assume a more active role in policymaking when the intransigence of white Southerners and the obstructionist behavior of President Andrew Johnson threatened to spoil the fruits of Northern victory.

Download or read book Institutions Against Corruption written by Albin Eser and published by Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft. This book was released on 2005 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Groupe d'Etats contre la corruption" (GRECO) is established at the Council of Europe. GRECO evaluates in several steps the legislative and administrative instruments of its member states in the fight against corruption, and thus makes obligatory suggestions for improvement. Based on the "First Evaluation Round", this study compares the corruption-relevant national regulations of the criminal law and names their weaknesses. Moreover, the book analyzes in which way law enforcement agencies are organized and which authorities are available in the fight against corruption. Additionally, the immunity regulations-which could particularly stand contrary to the fight against corruption in the political sector-are evaluated. Institutions against Corruption systematizes the recommendations passed by GRECO, judges their coherence, and ventures a first assessment. Readers interested in corruption fighting will not only gain comparative legal insights, but also prospects on the recommendations with which GRECO intends to improve the fight against corruption in 35 of its member states.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Con D.Lgs n. 36/2023 è stato approvato il nuovo Codice dei Contratti Pubblici, in attuazione del PNRR e delle stringenti scadenze imposte per la sua attuazione scadenze. Tante le novità di interesse a partire dalla codificazione dei nuovi principi del sistema appalti. Tre i fondamentali: risultato, fiducia ed accesso al mercato. La Digitalizzazione diventa il cuore delle procedure d’appalto: Banca Dati Nazionale, Fascicolo Virtuale e Piattaforma Digitale gli istituti centrali. Salgono le soglie per gli affidamenti diretti, entra il subappalto a cascata e ritorna l’appalto integrato. La progettazione viene semplificata e ridotta per i lavori a soli due livelli: progetto di fattibilità e progetto esecutivo. Tra nuovo e vecchio Codice è stato però introdotto un periodo transitorio che terminerà a gennaio 2024. Nel frattempo con D.L. del 29 maggio è già stato approvato il primo correttivo al Codice, mentre il Decreto Alluvioni di qualche giorno prima ha anticipato l’entrata in vigore dell’art. 140 per gli interventi di protezione civile. Il commentario ragionato, con il contributo di molti autori, intende fornire articolo per articolo una prima lettura del Nuovo Codice con un raffronto con il Codice del 2016, una attenzione particolare alla fase transitoria ed alle problematiche applicative che vengono illustrate istituto per istituto con apposite FAQ.
