 In the middle of the 19th century, Chicago embarked on a quest to literally lift itself out of the mud. Water couldnt drain from the low-lying city,  stanley cup so its streets became impassable swamps. The most reasonable solution, Chicago decided, was just to raise the whole goddamn city by 4 to 14 feet.     Unlike most other cities, Chicago sat just a few feet above the water lev botella stanley el of Lake Michigan. Water flows down, so building a system that properly drained all of Chicagos stormwater and sewage would required a whole lot of digging. That was deemed too expensive. The city was naturally lifted up instead. Following a plan outlined by the Chicago Board of Sewerage Commissioners in 1855, the city passed an ordinance to raise the grade level of streets downtown and along the river. Over the next two decades, the city gradually grew taller. Buildings were jacked up, new foundations laid underneath, and the streets filled in with dirt after the new sewer pipes were installed.

 The U.S. trade deficit, exacerbated by surging imports of oil and textiles, soared to an all-time high of $61.04 billion in February.The Commerce Department said Tuesday that the February imbalance was up 4.3 percent from a $58.5 billion trade gap in January as a small $50 million rise in U.S. exports of goods and services was swamped by a $2.58 billion increase in imports.The surging trade deficit is leading to an increase in protectionist pressures as American textile and clothing manufacturers are lobbying the administration to lim stanley cup it imports of Chinese textile and clothing goods to ward off a flood of products now that global quotas have expired.For February, imports of textiles and clothing from China rose by 9.8 percent even though America s overall trade gap with China actually narrowed to $13.9 billion, stanley cup  d stanley cups own by 9.2 percent from a January deficit of $15.3 billion.

 While skin grafts are an essent stanley thermos ial tool for treating severe burns, Avita Medical has developed a compact kit that grows replacement skin that can be sprayed on. Which has resulted in faster healing and better cosmetic results in patient testing.     Instead of growing patches of skin that can be draped over severely burned areas, the ReCell kit uses a small sample of the patient   keratinocytes and melanocytes skin cells that quickly reproduce in a special suspension solution. Where as growing actual pieces of skin in a lab can take weeks, the ReCell kit only needs about half an hour to produce enough cells to cover an area about 80 times as large as the original sample. A special nozzle is then used to spray the new cells over the burn area, where they continue to grow and multiply, in effect using the patient as an incubator. Because the new cells have been grown from the patient   own cells, there is no risk of the body rejecting them, and no risk of getting a disease from a donor. And not only is the application process faster stanley quencher  than with skin grafts, it   also been found to help burn wounds heal quicker which reduces the amount of scarring that occurs, improving the final cosmetic results. While already approved for sale and use in Europe, Australia and Canada, the ReCell system is still under clinical investigation in the US, and there   no word on when it might be finally available.

 The stanley shop  U.S. Army just paid a $50 million settlement over accusations that it illegally installed software on thousands of devices without a license.

But the Army kept installing the software even after its licenses had run out, eventually putting unaccounted copies on 100 servers and 9,000 devices. It would seem the overshoot was not a mistake: Apptricity   complaint alleges that in or before the year 2010, the Army hired a different contractor to reverse-engineer portions of the unlicensed software, to avoid being held accountable for the unpaid fees. All told, the Washington Post calculates the purchase price of the illegally copied software at around $180 mi stanley termoska llion, not including support and maintenance.

 Viewed from this unfamiliar angle and in the infrared rather than visible spectrum, Los Angeles reveals itself in new ways.     City lights and thermal radiation create an abstract, russet shape that   barely recognizable as metropolitan Southern California. Black voids dominate the frame; many of these are hills and mountain ranges, but the emptiness at the bottom of the photo is the Pacific Ocean. We can see how, as the city grew, it spilled around natural barriers to fill inland valleys and the vast coastal plain. Virtually all the flat land in cismontane Southern California has been urbanized for decades. We also notice a clear break between the metropolitan sprawl of Los Angeles  cent stanley thermosflasche er-left  and San Diego, which floats like an island in the bottom-right of the frame. That dark area separating the two is Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. Without it, the two metropolises might already be one. https://gizmodo/maybe-los-angeles-isnt-as-sprawling-as-you-t stanley cups uk hink-1557122868 A crew member aboard the International Space Station captured the photograph on Christmas Eve, 2011.
