Summary of Activities Outside of our meeting on Sunday October 8th, I spent an hour looking up registration letters online, just to see what other examples are available. I was amazed at how many different registration styles there were. I coordinated with my classmates on clip art for the registration letter and downloaded the sample my professor uploaded for us. I completed the letter and I believe it’s perfect. I can’t wait for everyone to see it also. I’m also excited to see what my…
It’s first important to note what the word ‘Princeps’ means. It comes from ‘Princeps Senatus’, meaning ‘First among equals’, which gave an individual the privilege of being the first to speak in the Senate and being the first name on the roster. This title was used officially by Augustus (then Octavian) because it had no royal connotations. In actuality, Augustus had auctoritas (‘authority’) far greater than that of merely a Princeps. He was an Emperor, but he did not explicitly say so, for his…
it represented the rebirth of the mentioned god. I believe Isis had more than one role. She was Mother and Guardian. She not only gave birth to her son Horus, and gave life momentarily to her brother/husband, but also she protected them both. When Set put Osiris in a box and dumped it into the Nile, Isis looked for her beloved husband everywhere and once…

CANADA PROMPT PAYMENT ACT UPDATE: SENATE HEARINGS LEAD TO PROPOSED AMENDMENTS In an effort to lead reform in the construction industry, the Canadian Senate introduced prompt payment legislation under Bill S-224, the Canada Prompt Payment Act (the “Bill”) which, if passed, would apply to construction contracts and related subcontracts made with the Federal Government. After passing its second reading last November, the Bill was referred to the Standing Committee on Banking, Trade and Commerce…
on to learn the process of residential construction which will build my experience for a future career. Procurement and expediting is the process of gathering materials from an external service to be used on sites by calling or emailing the company. I am currently still working on completing this task and will continue to use it until the end of my internship because this is a vital task when building homes in the residential field. During the construction of every home I accomplish this task…
Construction of the Concrete Roof of the Assembly Hall The University of Illinois- Urbana Champaign Assembly Hall has been the home of the Illini men’s basketball team for over half a century and has been one of the greatest engineering and architectural feats on campus ever since its creation over half a century ago. Beginning on May 25, 1959, construction of the Assembly Hall was carried out by structural engineers Othmar Ammann and Charles Whitney, general contractor Felmley-Dickerson Co.,…
Introduction Off-site construction is part of modern methods of construction (MMC) and relates to construction activities that are carried out in a high quality controlled factory environment away from the site. Subsequently, the building components fabricated in the factory, are transported to the site location in order to be assembled on-site. This leads to a greater degree of finish than in traditional piecemeal on-site construction due to elimination of on-site work and rapid site assembly.…
