“Using the principle of the paradoxically twisted ring, these people perpetually move forward, toward the observer. They are never seen from behind. This figure incorporates and illustrates one of the secrets of the universe: The drain of time in twisted space!

Where is the past? Where is the present? And where lies the future? Examined objectively, where does the path begin and where does it end?”

Search for crest network Dear Readers – The only downside to devoting this column to humor on a regular basis is that when we have something important to say, since we don’t want to disappoint our readers who enjoy this column, we have to take another page to relay it to you. Please read the opposite page (before or after) you (hopefully) enjoy

this one. It really IS important.

The Top Ten Things That Sound Dirty But Aren’t (At Least, Not Necessarily)

10. I need to whip it out by 5.

9. Mind if I use your laptop?

8. Just stick it in my box.

7. If I have to lick one more, I’ll gag!

6. I want it on my desk, NOW!!!

5. Hmmmm... I think it’s out of fluid.

4. My equipment is so old, it takes forever to finish.

3. It’s an entry-level position.

2. When do think you’ll be getting off today?

1. It’s not fair. I do all the work while he just sits there.

In Law

10. Have you examined her briefs?

9. He is one hard judge!

8. Counselor, let’s do it in chambers.

7. Her attorney withdrew at the last minute.

6. Is it a penal offense?

5. Better leave the handcuffs on.

4. For $300 an hour, she’d better be good!

3. Can you get him to drop his suit?

2. The judge gave her the stiffest one he could.

1. Think you can get me off?

Having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a swimming pool.

In Golf

At The Office

10. Nuts! My shaft is bent.

9. After 18 holes, I can barely walk.

8. You really whacked the hell out of that sucker!

7. Look at the size of his putter!

6. Keep your head down and spread your legs a bit more.

5. Mind if I join your threesome?

4. Stand with your back turned and drop it.

3. My hands are so sweaty, I can’t get a good grip.

2. Nice stroke, but your follow-through leaves a lot to be desired.

1. Hold up. I need to wash my balls first.

Conversions

For those who thought the hardest part of Physics 101 was the constant conversion from feet and inches to the metric system, including all of its Newtons, Joules, and Watts, here are some other useful conversions:

I picked up a copy of the March issue while in the waiting office of a law firm in Austin. Thumbing through it, I found Redneck Medical Definitions and I started snorting to keep from laughing out loud. It was embarrassing, but TOO funny! I went back and read 2 more Diversions. Then I went to the receptionist and asked if I could take/keep the magazine. I’m not done with it yet but will be subscribing.

Great stuff! - Angela Winters, Austin Ed. Good news. First – Thanks for the compliment. We LOVE letter like yours. Second – Read the opposite page. We’re going digital! If you liked the diversity of information and humor you saw in our March issue, just wait until September. Log on at www. crestnetwork.com .

The March issue is amazing, as usual – as entertaining as it is informative. We can’t stop laughing at the cartoon comparing other presidents to the “stable genius” that has made our country a laughing stock. Thanks! - Mike Fletcher, Arlington

Visited a friend in Dallas last week and picked up the network. I couldn’t find any Houston associations.

What’s up with that? - Tony Vivaldi, Kingwood Ed. Thanks for taking the time to write (and the interest your letter implies). the network was originally (as Office & Commercial) solely a Dallas publication primarily publishing the news about/ for one association. Fort Worth and Houston each had its own sister publication. We became the network 10 years ago, and in the next four years, expanded to publish the news of over 35 local associations in Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio. This year, we are proud to announce that we’re going statewide, so that number will be much higher. (See the IMPORTANT article on the next page.) We look forward to you and many thousands becoming regular readers. Until then, please go to www.crestnetwork.com and sign on.

Ed. Sounds like you’ll really enjoy the Political Corner is this issue, too. (See page 43.)

The Change is Gonna Do You… Gooder!

R

egular readers know that we long ago abandoned the traditional editor’s page in favor of a light-hearted (hopefully humorous) look at things – like what you see on the opposite page. In this issue, in addition to continuing that ‘light-hearted’ look, we’re undertaking some major changes and want to tell you about them. So many changes, in fact, that it would be difficult to tell you about all of them here; you’ll see (and hear) them for yourselves over the next few issues.

Not postal, digital….

The network has always been primarily a print magazine and secondarily a digital publication. In fact, the digital publication has been pretty slick – with more tools and capabilities than the digital editions of some of the best-known magazines in circulation. So, beginning with the September edition,

we’re flipping the paradigm to become primarily a digital publication, and secondarily, a print publication. Sure, the reduced

printing and mailing costs were considerations and very compelling – but, more importantly (yes -really – more importantly), the possibilities and opportunities which will result from this shift are so amazing that the print edition (which will continue, but in reduced distribution) will pale in comparison. Remarkable.

Incredible. Even mind-boggling! And we don’t use those words frivolously. We are awed by the technology and what it will enable us to provide to you – and you will be, too!

More pages, more information, more humor, for sure – but the reader/writer interaction is what will really WOW you. Now, when we write about a building, there’s a good chance that the beautiful pictures will be accompanied by video.

When we share the information of a guest writer (or even our Contributing Editors), there may be audio; you’ll be able to hear the article read by the actual writer or by a voice over specialist. And our advertisers will benefit from this too. They will have motion graphics, animations, flip books, time-lapse and regular videos as available options to them. And more!

Go to the Archives (www.crestnetwork.com). On the landing page of this (the June 2018) edition, beside the cover of the magazine, there is what is called a ‘splash’ page. It includes several samples of these types of special (spectacular)

And More Changes

The network will be emailed directly by us (or through our affiliate associations) to over 50,000 real estate professionals!

And that number will grow because 1) we’re expanding to become statewide, so that there will be a lot more association chapters joining our readership, and 2) we’re expanding to incorporate residential as well as commercial real estate. Of course, the magazine will continue to be available at www.crestnetwork.com, which will undergo some significant changes in its own right. Our archives will be made searchable, so if you remember a particular article you want to reread, you’ll be able to find it in a simple, user-friendly way.

Some changes have begun already. Perhaps you’ve noticed the Political Corner Diversion and the Important Voices column in both the March issue and this one. New features will be introduced over the next two issues (for example, Real Estate of the Future), some appearing occasionally, some regularly, and their presentation will be enhanced by the ever-expanding world of digital capabilities.

An expanded Advisory Board will provide for an even greater diversification of real estate topics – from Appraisal to Zoning. And, over the next few issues, we will be categorizing areas (Management, Brokerage, Construction, Architecture, etc.) to enable you to better locate that which is of most interest to you.

Lots of changes, many based upon our readers’ suggestions – and they’re all for the good!

Keep networking!

If you have to choose between drinking wine every day or being skinny, which would you chose? Red or white?

Named the world’s largest solar-powered office building in 2009, the 807,000 squarefoot Sundial Building located in Dezhou, China was designed to look like a massive sundial. In addition to being powered by solar energy, the building features a number of energy-saving innovations in its insulation and flooring that reduce its overall energy consumption to 30% below the national average.

5. The White House - Washington D.C., United States

In 2010, President Barack Obama had the White House fitted with solar panels to symbolize his commitment to advancing America’s development of renewable energy. Oddly enough, the first solar panels to provide the White House with energy were installed by President Jimmy Carter in 1979 and removed by President Ronald Reagan in 1981.

2. National Stadium - Kaohsiung,Taiwan

Opened in July 2009 to host the World Games., the stadium was designed by worldfamous Japanese architect Toyo Ito, and constructed at a cost of $150 million. It is covered by thousands of solar panels in a semi-spiral shape resembling a serpent.

The 8884 solar panels can produce up to 1.14GWh of electricity annually, saving in 660 tons of carbon dioxide emissions from being released into the atmosphere. In addition to capturing the power of the sun, the roof of the stadium collects rainwater through a system of pipes and storage tanks which is then used to supply the stadium and water its grass.

3. Eiffel Tower - Paris, France

Arguably the most recognizable building in the world, Paris’ iconic Eiffel Tower has been fitted with solar panels, wind turbines, glass floors, and rainwater collection equipment in an effort to make the building more environmentally friendly. The energy generated from solar panels alone heats half of the hot water used in the tower. Considered a marvel of architectural engineering when it first opened in 1889, the renovations in 2013 helped continue its legacy as being a shining example of human ingenuity.

4. Burj Khalifa Dubai – Dubai, United Arab Emirates

The tallest building in the world uses solar panels to help meet its sky-high demand for energy. Rising 2,717 feet above the Dubai skyline, the towering Burj Khalifa’s 384 solar panels save the equivalent of 3,200 kilowatts of energy each day and are used to heat 37,000 gallons of water for daily use by the building’s tenants.

Types of Memory

emory takes many different forms. When we store a memory, we are storing information. But, what that information is and how long we retain it determines what type of memory it is. The categories of memory are short-term memory (or working memory), long-term memory (based on the amount of time the memory is stored) and sensual memory.

Long-term memory is our brain’s system for storing, managing, and retrieving information - anything you remember that happened more than a few minutes ago.

Long-term memories can last for just a few days, or for many years; they aren’t all of equal strength. Stronger memories enable you to recall an event, procedure, or fact on demand (e.g., Paris is the capital of France). Weaker memories often come to mind only through prompting or reminding.

Don’t marry for money. You can borrow it cheaper.

Long-term memory isn’t static. You don’t imprint a memory and leave it; it is often revised over time—perhaps by merging it with another memory or incorporating what others tell you about the memory. As a result, your memories are not strictly constant, and are not always reliable.

Long-term memories aren’t formed and retained in a single part of the brain; instead, the process of creating and storing long-term memories is spread throughout multiple regions.

The two major subdivisions are explicit memory and implicit memory. Explicit memories are those that you consciously remember, such as an event in your life or a particular fact. Implicit memories are those that you do without thinking about, like riding a bike—you once learned how, and you remembered how, but now do it without conscious thought.

Different forms of memory often mix and mingle.

Explicit memory requires conscious thought—such as recalling who came to dinner last night or naming animals that live in the rainforest. It’s what most people have in mind when they think of “memory,” and whether theirs is good or bad. Explicit memory is often associative; your brain links memories together.

Episodic memory is one type of explicit memory. Episodic memory is autobiographical: it is what allows us to remember a trip we took or what we had for dinner last night. Any past event in which we played a part, and which we remember as an “episode” (a scene of events) is episodic.

Semantic memory is our “textbook learning” or general knowledge; it’s what enables us to say, without knowing exactly when and where we learned it, for example, that a zebra is a striped animal.

Implicit memory doesn’t require conscious thought. It allows you to do things by rote. This memory isn’t always easy to verbalize, since it flows effortlessly in our actions.

Procedural memory enables us to carry out commonly learned tasks without consciously thinking about them; it’s our “how to” knowledge – e.g., riding a bike, tying a shoe. Even what we think of as “natural” tasks, such as walking, require procedural memory.

You are “primed” by your experiences; if you have heard something very recently, or many more times than another thing, you are primed to recall it more quickly. (e.g., If asked to name an American city that starts with the letters “Ch,” you would most likely answer Chicago, unless you have a close personal connection to or recent experience with another “Ch” city (Charlotte, Cheyenne, Charleston…) because you’ve heard about Chicago more often.

How well you remember something depends, in part, on how quickly and clearly your senses take in the experience as it happens. If your brain records what you see, hear, feel, taste, and smell with perfect precision, it can recall them better later.

In many people with poorer memory, the fundamental problem lies in the brain’s ability to record sensory information clearly—not its ability to “remember.”

Short-Term memory is the brief time that you keep something in mind before either dismissing it or transferring it to long-term memory. It is like your “working memory.” Right now it is storing information from the beginning of this sentence, so that you can make sense of the end of it. Working memory is often thought of as the brain’s “scratch pad” that keeps information – a number, name, or whatever else – on hand just long enough to use.

Sensory memory is the shortest-term element of memory. It is the ability to retain impressions of sensory information after the original stimuli received through the five senses have ended. For example, the ability to look at something and remember what it looked like with just a second of observation is an example of sensory memory.

The sensory memory for visual stimuli is sometimes known as the iconic memory, the memory for aural stimuli is known as the echoic memory, and that for touch as the haptic memory. Smell may actually be even more closely linked to memory than the other senses, possibly because the olfactory bulb and olfactory cortex (where smell sensations are processed) are physically very close to the hippocampus and amygdala (which are involved in memory processes).

The terms eidetic memory and photographic memory are commonly used interchangeably, but they are also distinguished. Eidetic imagery is the ability to remember an image in so much detail, clarity, and accuracy that it is as though the image were still being perceived.

A 2010 University of Stirling study has suggested a possible link between poor short-term or working memory and depression.

The 10 to 15% with the poorest working memory in the study tended to mull things over and brood too much, leading to a risk of depression. People with a good working memory, on the other hand, are more likely to be optimistic and self-assured, and more likely to lead a happy and successful life.

Featured on these two pages are the winners of the local competition selected by the Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio BOMA chapters. (The Fort Worth chapter did not have any entries this year.)

Each chapter’s judges scrutinize many aspects of a building’s management over the course of a year. Photographs, building standards, floor plans and the owner’s goals are all part of the appearance portion of the judging. That’s the part we get to see, but collectively these elements constitute only 5 % of the score a building receives. The remaining 95% is based upon tenant relations, community impact, emergency and security standards, environmental and regulatory policies, energy management systems, and personnel training and qualifications.

OMA Southwest is composed of local chapters from Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas – a total of 13 chapters in all. In April (this year in Corpus Christi), they met and conferred The (Regional) Outstanding Building of the Year awards on the buildings featured on this page. In late June, at the annual convention of BOMA International (this year in San Antonio), they will compete to win the International TOBY awards – and those buildings will be featured in our September edition. Good luck to all of the regional winners!

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) was founded in 1857. It is composed of 91,000 licensed architects and associated professionals and has 300 state and local chapters worldwide. The Texas Society of Architects is a state component of the AIA, with 17 regional chapters and over 6,000 members.

F

ounded in 1952, the AIA College of Fellows is composed of members of the Institute who are elected to Fellowship by a jury of their peers. Fellowship is one of the highest honors AIA can bestow upon a member. Elevation to Fellowship not only recognizes the achievements of the architect as an individual but also elevates before the public and the profession those architects who have made significant contributions to architecture and to society. Only 3 percent of the AIA members have this distinction. Recent ‘elevations’ (see opposite page) appear in red.

The park (which consists of 5 acres) bridges the gap between two freeways, creating green space in downtown Dallas. The result of a public-private partnership, it was completed in 2012 and now has over a million visitors each year.

Austin

2018 Fellow

Wendy Dunham Tita was elevated to Fellow. As an

architect of interior spaces, she champions the conversation between design, craft, and people to enrich the human experience of architecture and its making. As an advocate for the profession, in 2015 she revived the long-dormant AIA Austin Women in Architecture committee and chaired an exhibit and lecture series that received coverage in statewide media. She has secured more than $23,000 for the emerging leadership program she founded, including grants from AIA National, the Austin Foundation for Architecture, and the AIA College of Fellows.

The Austin Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, AIA Austin serves the professional needs of more than 1,000 architect and associate members; and over 180 Allied companies working in fields related to architecture, design and construction in the greater Austin area—north from Copperas Cove and Salado, south to Buda and San Marcos, and west to Fredericksburg.

Fort Worth 2018 Fellow Donald F. Gatzke, FAIA was elevated to Fellow. He

has promoted architectural education by emphatically connecting architecture schools to the public and to the profession, and by helping to provide opportunities for students of diverse backgrounds.

San Antonio

2018 Fellow

Dror Baldinger, FAIA was elevated to Fellow. His

photography reveals the underlying order, beauty, and poetry of architecture. His images augment the impact of his clients’ projects, further their reputations, and enhance public perception and appreciation of architecture. An architectural education and a decades-long career as design director at a leading San Antonio firm, are focused through Baldinger’s camera lens, and inform his photographic interpretations of architectural art forms. His images facilitate engagement with the aesthetics of architecture, advance appreciation of its highest values, and reacquaint us with architecture’s status as high art.

Bootleggers to big business

The growth & continued evolution of craft distilleries in Texas Much like the craft beer revolution years ago, small distilleries have taken center stage as consumers look for product authenticity and unique tastes. Before 1920, large and small breweries and distilleries existed everywhere in the US, but prohibition’s passage changed that. In Texas, no legal local distilleries existed after 1920; the chart below shows key legislation that help propel the industry and the specific growth of North & Central Texas distilleries.

In 2012, there were only about 300 “craft distilleries” in the US. Today, that number has grown close to 1,600 and is continuing to expand. In Texas, as of the mid-1990s there were no distilleries, until Tito’s Vodka pioneered the way in the late 1990s.

hen you think of the Seattle skyline, you think of the biggest and flashiest: The Space Needle - an observation tower that is its most famous landmark and the most popular tourist attraction in the city. It was built for the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair.

In an attempt to bolster attendance, Allen added the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame to the south wing of the building in 2004. Originally treated as separate museums, they later merged to become EMP|SFM, attracting a curious mix of music lovers and sci-fi aficionados.

The Seattle Central Library The city of Seattle has been riding the tech boom for quite a while (think Amazon), and it’s gotten some interesting additions to the landscape, like the downtown library and the Frank Gehry-designed Museum of Popular Culture, just to name two.

The Seattle Central Library (below) is one of America’s favorite structures. The striking 11-story glass and steel building, designed by architects Rem Koolhaas and Joshua Prince Ramus, is home to 1.45 million books and materials, and is sprawled across 363,000 square feet of space. It opened in 2004.

AND DON’T FORGET, an incredible new addition to Amazon’s Seattle campus: three biosphere domes filled with 300 species of plants from 30 countries. The 100-foot-tall biospheres are just a part of Amazon’s new 3.3 million square foot headquarters complex.

Bloomberg reports that when the new campus is finished, Amazon will have “10 million square feet of office space in Seattle.” (Watch the network for more information later this year.)

10 ICONIC WORLD STADIUMS HOSTING MAJOR SPORTING EVENTS

T

he word “stadium” comes from the Greek unit of measurement - stadion (or the “stade”). A stade is the distance covered in the original Greek footraces - just under 200 yards. Stadium architecture has hugely developed since the Greek and Roman times; in modern times, a stadium is officially a stadium when at least 50% of the actual capacity is an actual building, like concrete stands or seats. Thanks to reinforced concrete and steel, bold designs that were structurally impossible before are now possible.

Countries have been competing for years to build new jaw-dropping sporting arenas to host memorable moments that are forever printed in the memory of nations. Here are some of those magnificent public buildings/venues: 1. Beijing National Stadium, Beijing, China The “Bird’s Nest” was designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron (see p. 44) in collaboration with prominent Chinese artist Ai Weiwei and lead architect Li Xinggang. It actually consists of two independent structures, standing 50 feet apart: a red concrete seating bowl and an outer steel frame around it. The arena (which can accommodate up to 80,000 spectators) hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Olympics and Paralympics.

2. Allianz Arena, Munich, Germany With a 57,343-seat capacity, Allianz Arena was the first stadium in the world to have a color changing exterior. It, too, was designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron and has been the venue for the home games of the two football clubs (FC Bayern Munich and TSV 1860 Munich) since 2005. It has also been one of the venues for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Its magnificent façade is constructed from 2,874

ETFE-foil air panels that are kept inflated with dry air. Although a multicolor display for the exterior is an option, German Police prohibit it due to traffic accidents caused by the changing colors.

3. Kaohsiung National Stadium, Taiwan The dragon-shaped arena, designed by the Japanese Architect Toyo, has a seating capacity of 55,000. It is the first stadium in the world to depend on solar power to generate all the energy it requires. The roof is formed of aluminum-framed plates that give the exterior its scaly appearance. The stadium will host several qualifying matches for FIFA 2018 and Asian Cup 2019.

4. FNB Stadium, Johannesburg, South Africa Known as “The Calabash”, the stadium was designed to resemble an African pot or gourd on an open fire. The largest stadium in Africa (with a capacity of 94,736 seats) was the venue for the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final

and Nelson Mandela’s first speech in Johannesburg, after he was released from prison in 1990. It was also the last public place where he was seen, during the closing ceremony of FIFA 2010. The stadium was designed by architects HOK Sport (renamed Populous in January 2009) and Boogertman + Partners.

5. National Stadium, Warsaw, Poland Hamburg-based architects Gerkan, Marg and Partners, Polish firm JSK Architekci, and Germanyheadquartered structural engineering firm Schlaich Bergermann collaborated in designing this 58,145-seater stadium. The multifunctional facility hosted several games during the 2012 UEFA European Championship and is considered the largest football arena in Poland. Its façade features the red and white colors of the Polish flag.

May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears (Nelson Mandela)

6. Olympiastadion, Munich, Germany The 69,250-capacity stadium was built on a pit caused by bombings of Munich during WWII. Designed by German architects Günter Behnisch and Frei Otto, it was built to be the main venue for the Summer Olympics 1972. It has also hosted international football matches like FIFA 1974, the EURO 88 Final, and the European Cup Finals of 1979, 1993 and 1997. The membranous canopy was to represent the new post-war optimistic Germany.

7. PGE Arena, Gdansk, Poland The arena was built to be one of the venues which would host the 2012 UEFA European Championship. It was designed by the European architecture firm Rhode Kellermann Wawrowsky, and has a seating capacity of 42,000. Its façade is comprised of 18,000 polycarbonate plates that give it a honey-yellow color. (inspired by the Amber which locals used to extract from the nearby Baltic Sea).

8. Aviva Stadium, Dublin, Ireland The 51,700-seat bowl-shaped facility was designed by the international firm Populous and British and Irish architects Scott Tallon Walker. The wave-like design of the roof allows as much light as possible to pass to the surrounding residential area. In 2011, the stadium hosted the Nations Cup and the Europa League Final.

Many concerts have been held there as well as many other significant soccer and rugby matches.

What About the Biggest Stadiums in the World?

T

he largest stadium in the world is Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, located in Pyongyang, North Korea. It’s also known as May Day Stadium, named because it was completed on May 1, 1989. It’s home to the Korea DPR national football team, which is a part of FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association). It has a total capacity of 114,000 people and covers 51 acres, also making it the largest stadium by area. A

The largest stadium no longer in use is the Great Strahov Stadium in Prague, Czech Republic. Its capacity was around 220,000. It now serves as a training facility. B The biggest sports venue in the world is the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It hosts 257,325 fans for motor racing events. C

9. AAMI Park, Melbourne, Australia Designed by Australian firm Cox Architecture, the geodesic dome covers most of the seating area but still allows light to pass through. The exterior of the stadium has thousands of LED lights that display different images and colors. It can host up to 30,000 spectators and was built to be home to the Melbourne Storm and Melbourne Victory. It has hosted many rugby and soccer matches as well as the 2015 AFC Asian Cup opening ceremony.

10. NSC Olimpiyskiy, Kiev, Ukraine This Olympic stadium (with a capacity of 70,500) for soccer matches is the home ground of the country’s national soccer team. The old stadium that was built during the 1920s underwent a series of renovations and reconstructions that made it look the way it does today. The designers and architects of the arena throughout the years were L.V.Pilvinsky (1923), Mykhailo Hrechyna (1936–41), and GMP (Germany) (2008–2011). It hosted several football matches of the 1980 Summer Olympics as well as the final match of EURO 2012.

10 LARGEST U.S. STADIUMS (based on official capacity)

8. Darrel K Royal – Texas Memorial Stadium, Austin, TX. Holding 100,119 Texas Longhorn fans, this is the largest football-only venue in Texas. It joined this (top ten) list after renovations in 2007 added 9,000 seats.

9. Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles, CA. 93,607 people can fit in this stadium -home to the USC Trojans. However, unlike the other college venues, this site is actually owned by the state of California, Los Angeles County and the City of Los Angeles. Along with hosting football games, it’s been home to Super Bowls, the Olympics, and the World Series, earning it a spot as a National Historic Landmark.

2. Beaver Stadium, State College, PA. Home to the Penn State Nittany Lions, this stadium can hold 106,572 fans. It’s named after James A. Beaver, a former Pennsylvania governor.

3. Ohio Stadium, Columbus, OH. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this stadium moved up on the list after renovations in 2016. The unique double deck horseshoe design currently holds 104,944 people; however, future plans will decrease seating in the fall of 2018.

4. Kyle Field, College Station, TX. A newcomer to the Top 10 list, Kyle Field expanded to hold 102,733 fans after a $485 million redevelopment in 2014-2015.

It’s named after Edwin Jackson Kyle, who served as the dean of agriculture and president of the athletic council. He donated an area on the south side of campus to become the football field in 1905, and it’s been the home of Aggie football ever since.

5. Neyland Stadium, Knoxville, TN. This stadium is not only used for the Volunteers football team, but also for large conventions and NFL exhibition games. The original stadium was built in 1921 and held just 3,200 people. After almost a century of renovations and growth, the current capacity is 102,455. The signature look of the field includes orange and white checkerboard end zones.

6. Tiger Stadium, Baton Rouge, LA. Home to the LSU Tigers, “Death Valley” can have up to 102,321 fans on game day, when the stadium size makes it the third largest city in Louisiana. Perhaps the most notable game was the “Earthquake Game” in 1998, when the crowd’s reaction to a touchdown pass registered as an earthquake on the seismograph.

7. Bryant-Denny Stadium, Tuscaloosa, AL. This stadium has a capacity of 101,821. The visitor’s locker room is called “The Fail Room” after alumnus and donor James M. Fail. He chose the naming rights to that locker room so that opponents had to prepare in The Fail Room before facing the Alabama Crimson Tide.

And More….

So you’re not surprised about some stadia you might have expected to see on that list, here are 15 more of the biggest sports venues (by capacity) in the country.

11. Rose Bowl, Pasadena, CA — 92,542 12. Cotton Bowl, Dallas, TX — 92,100 13. Memorial Stadium, Lincoln, NE — 90,000 14. Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Gainesville, FL — 88,548 15.

1. Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, MI. Known as “The Big House,” this college football arena holds 107,601 people, which is actually a 2,000 capacity decrease from 2015. They removed seats to allow for accessibility updates, but the renovation didn’t dethrone this stadium as the largest in the country.

10. Sanford Stadium, Athens, GA. The home of the Georgia Bulldogs has a capacity of 92,746 people. Games at the Sanford Stadium are said to be played ‘between the hedges’ due to the privet hedges surrounding the field. The original hedges from 1929 were removed in 1996 to accommodate the 1996 Summer Olympics but were replanted as soon as the event was over from cuttings of the original hedges.

Dundee’s Ship Comes In: How One Museum Could Transform a City

W

hen the Wall Street Journal identified ten Hot Destinations in its “Where to Travel in 2018” piece, a curious outlier joined the likes of Shanghai, Montenegro, and Madagascar: the Scottish coastal city of Dundee.

A former industrial hub on the banks of the River Tay, Dundee may seem like an odd choice for jetsetters and cultural tourists. However, it turns out that the country’s fourth-largest city has been cultivating quite the buzz in recent years, replacing its formers mills and shipbuilding warehouses with prospering video games studios. And today, Dundee has shed its former reputation for “jute, jam, and journalism” and is courting visitors with an ambitious £1.5 billion, 30-year urban revitalization program centered around the city’s waterfront.

At the heart of this renewal project (and central to the Wall Street Journal’s interest) is the V&A Dundee, Scotland’s first design museum and the first outpost of London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, the world’s largest museum of decorative arts and design. While the V&A Dundee’s collection of design artifacts will no doubt prove to be similarly world-class, it’s the building itself that is drawing the most interest.

Designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma—who was selected in an international design contest that courted some of the world’s most talented firms—the threestory, 8,000 square meter building has been described as a “living room for the city,” intended to reconnect the urban center to its river.

The building’s connection to the waterfront is very real. Early construction required the creation of a massive cofferdam—a watertight structure built around the protruding section of the building—allowing part of the museum to extend into the river, partially submerged. The final effect is breathtaking, offering up striking reflections on the water’s surface. The V&A will is no doubt destined to become one of Scotland’s most-Instagrammed sites.

external wall, the building’s impression is at once organic and nautical, calling to mind a massive stone ship. The building juts and recedes dramatically and includes a large gap in the structure’s heart, offering direct pedestrian access to the river.

The V&A Dundee is designed to invite enthusiastic exploration, attracting visitors in the same way a beautiful cliff face might: “The beauty of the cliff comes from the long, long dialogue between the earth and water,” explains Kuma. “I wanted to translate that beauty to a contemporary building. It’s very different from a concrete box. The inclination of the façade gives a different type of experience. If is it too vertical, the vertical void rejects the people. The building should invite people to the waterfront.”

In line with the project’s democratic principles, the building will feature free-toenter galleries and a large foyer space at its heart, its interiors clad in soft (and locally-sourced) wood.

The building’s exterior required an uncommon degree of precision in its engineering. The structure’s 21 wall sections are clad with 2,500 unique rough pre-cast stone panels, each weighing up to 3000kg.

3D modeling helped ensure that their complex forms interlocked perfectly. Together, they resemble their sloping, stepped angles resemble the striations of a cliff face.

fittingly, re-imagine the golden age of sea travel, including the opulent designs and interiors of the world’s great ocean liners. The museum’s permanent galleries will feature Scotland’s unique contributions to design. It’s estimated that half a million visitors will flock to the museum in its first year, spurring local hotels to add beds and inciting a large scale renovation to the town’s train station.

Scheduled to open in September, the V&A Dundee gamble seems to have already paid off in pre-opening buzz alone. The museum’s first major exhibition will,

of a certain size. Dundee has long been associated with design—it was designated as a UNESCO City of Design in 2014—but was unlikely to top many guidebooks’ must-visit lists. If press coverage is any indication, this is set to change.

With an estimated cost of £80 million, Dundee’s investment in its new flagship attraction is a significant one. However, if early reactions to the structure are any indication, the architectural gamble will likely pay dividends. n

Singapore’s urbanization has resulted in the loss of 95% of its historical forests, and now over half of the naturally occurring fauna and flora in Singapore is present in nature reserves which comprise a quarter of one percent of Singapore’s land area. To combat this decline, in 1967 the government introduced the vision of making Singapore a “garden city” aiming to soften the harshness of urbanization and improve the quality of life Since then, nearly 10% of Singapore’s land has been set aside for parks and nature reserves.

How Flag Day came from Texas and a German in San Antonio

W Flag Day.

hen Texas merged with the United States, the older U.S. already had a national flag, holidays and anthem. But Texas helped give the U.S. a lasting patriotic tradition:

In 1916, with the U.S. on the edge of the first World War, President Woodrow Wilson led a giant march on the first official Flag Day and then delivered a chain-rattling speech warning against “disloyalty” and “foreign sentiment” pressuring the U.S. into war.

Six years earlier, in 1910, St. Louis banker and cotton broker Ben Altheimer happened to be in San Antonio on June 14. The military flag ceremony that evening by soldiers at Fort Sam Houston, one of the Army’s largest bases, stirred his heart. Back in St. Louis, the way he later told the story, he offered to provide flags for any shop that would put them out on Flag Day. Then, Flag Day was only an unofficial anniversary of the 1777 day that Congress adopted Betsy Ross’ flag. By 1912, with Altheimer enlisting help from Christian and Jewish faith leaders, St. Louis declared an official citywide event. He is not the only “Father of Flag Day.” Wisconsin kindergarten teacher Bernard Cigrand was promoting the day in school in 1885, and a New York teacher followed in 1888. You love your country. …

Give it your love and devotion. (New York philanthropist Ben Altheimer, a “Father of Flag Day”) But Altheimer was among Wilson’s invited guests in 1916 at the first official observance and always claimed with some justification that his work in St. Louis started the flag-waving for Wilson to take the holiday national.

Websites and Jewish community publications quote the 18 The New York Times news or feature stories about Altheimer, who went on to become a New York lawyer and philanthropist.

In 1910, Fort Sam Houston was a growing Army base about to become the nation’s largest. “I have done what I could … to impress upon others the deep religious and patriotic significance,” he wrote.

In comments at a 1921 dedication ceremony, the German-born Altheimer appealed to Americans and God. “You love your country,” he said: “Give it your aspirations and your efforts. Give it your love and devotion, your character. Give it the best you have — yourself, heart and soul. “This will enable you to pay in a measure to your country what it has given you and all its citizens — independence, opportunity, freedom of conscience to serve your God and your religion in your own way. God save America.”

He never described the San Antonio ceremony or exactly what inspired him. But it probably involved a Texas-size show of flags. (c) 2018 Fort Worth Star-Telegram This article originally appeared in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on June 12, 2016. It is reprinted here with permission.

Starting in September

In 1924, only eight years after the first celebration, a reader wrote the Times asking to give Altheimer official credit. “That grand old man … is the originator,” reader Adolf Teschner wrote. “It is unjust not to give due credit to the venerable gentleman whose suggestion and influence caused this date to be set aside.” In Altheimer’s reply, he thanked the reader but wrote modestly that the military always observed Flag Day and he only helped bring it to the rest of America.

What Does Your Insurance Really Cover?

When it comes to insurance, general liability standards vary widely – know where you stand

I

n the worst of times, insurance can be a building owner’s best friend.

But if the policy doesn’t cover what you think it covers, you’ll quickly be facing an expensive nightmare.

What Can Happen?

Imagine a hypothetical scenario in which Smith Construction installs stucco on the curbside wall of the Jones Office Building. Six months later, during a severe rain storm with high winds, stucco falls off the wall and lands on a pedestrian. Rainwater then seeps into the Jones building, causing not only structural damage, but also a six-week shutdown of several floors of the building and the consequent loss of rent from the office building’s tenants.

Before this incident, Smith Construction bought CGL coverage from XYZ Assurance. This policy includes some standard requirements, including the identification of an occurrence that has caused damage, and the inclusion of a customary completed operations exclusion, which exempts the insurance company from having to replace whatever the customer was contractually required to install.

On Guard for Legal Complications

My client, Smith Asphalt Co. (whose name has been changed to protect their privacy), experienced a problem much like the Smith vs. XYZ Assurance case. Old English Homes in southern New Jersey hired Smith to install a base course of asphalt (one of three or more layers of work in a typical roadway) for a road in a new residential development.

The original plans called for a 3-inch asphalt layer, but Smith warned Old English that the layer should be increased to 4 inches or construction vehicles should be barred from using the new roadway. Old English thanked Smith kindly for its advice and ignored it.

The situation grows more complex when the pedestrian sues both the office building and the construction company for bodily injury caused by the falling chunk of stucco. In return, Jones Office Building sues Smith Construction for breach of warranty, defective workmanship, and negligence, seeking indemnification (adequate compensation for financial losses), contribution, and the costs of structural repairs and lost rental.

Surprise! The asphalt base and its gravel underlay were too shallow, just as Smith predicted. Cracks and pits soon developed after heavy construction equipment drove on the new road. Old English then thanked Smith for its warning by suing them for poor workmanship and agreeing to install the defectively designed roadway. This lawsuit was ultimately dismissed with prejudice. No settlement was paid or offered.

Smith turns to its insurer, XYZ, demanding coverage against these claims.

But the insurance company refuses to provide indemnity or legal defense, asserting that an occurrence did not cause the damage. The result: a declaratory judgment suit between XYZ and Smith to interpret the terms of the insurance policy. But who is in the right?

Smith’s CGL carriers both refused to indemnify Smith or provide a defense, so Smith was stuck with legal bills of about $9,500. The company sued both carriers for indemnification for legal fees incurred in this case and in the first-party lawsuit for coverage.

Smith claimed that any language of a complaint against it that falls within the policy’s scope requires the carriers to provide defense even if the underlying claim is meritless.

How Your Location Impacts Coverage

The answer – and the outcome of the suit – depend on which state’s law applies. Were the damages to the pedestrian and the Jones Office Building caused by an “occurrence” as Smith’s insurer understands it? Can mere poor workmanship constitute an “occurrence”? The states are split.

The carriers objected, saying that because the basis of the claim was that Smith failed to fulfill its construction contract, finding in favor of coverage would convert the CGL policy into a performance bond. There was no sudden “accident” or “occurrence,” nor could they link Smith alleged negligence and poor workmanship to the roadway damages.

Both Smith and its carriers moved for summary judgment, arguing that there were no material facts in dispute. The trial judge declined to grant summary judgment to either side and scheduled a trial, assuming accurately that this would produce a settlement. The two carriers divided the cost of the settlement and Smith ended up with a dismissal of the lawsuit and a reimbursement of over 50% of their out-of-pocket expenses. Not the stuff of heroic courtroom legend, but a business-like approach to risk management.

However, other states would declare the opposite. In 1959, the California Supreme Court held that the faulty installation of defective doors 42

THE NETWORK | JUNE 2018

Speak when you’re angry and you’ll make the best speech you’ll ever regret.

In addition to property insurance, which covers damage to your property by someone else, nearly all buildings carry comprehensive general liability (CGL) policies that protect the building owner against others’ claims of injury or damage. But what you may not realize is that the standard terms in these policies are defined quite differently by many states. What you don’t know could cost you.

Pennsylvania, for example, says no. In 2006, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court noted that standard policy language defines an occurrence as an accident – i.e. an unexpected event caused by a degree of fortuity. Poor workmanship, even if it’s presented as a negligence claim, is not an unexpected accident.

To claim otherwise would transform a CGL policy into a performance bond.

In 2007, the Pennsylvania courts held that rainfall also doesn’t constitute an “occurrence” because it’s not unexpected, even if the rain damages the interior of a building due to a stucco contractor’s faulty workmanship. Ohio, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Mississippi, and Arkansas have all adopted a similarly restrictive view since 2008, so the outcome of Smith v. XYZ Assurance in these states would end in the insurance company’s favor.

applies to the dispute) are then applied. In contract cases, most states follow the governmental interest test to determine which state’s CGL precedent applies. This test includes: 1. If the parties mutually understood that a specific site was the location of an insured risk, the law of that state will apply unless it is shown that some other state has a superior interest in the outcome.

The nice thing about being senile is that you can hide your own Easter eggs.

constituted an “accident” and that water damage to the building (not including replacement of the faulty doors themselves, which are excluded by the completed operations exclusion) and the consequent loss of use were covered by the policy after all. They defined an accident as an “unexpected, unforeseen, or undesigned” event. Certainly, a construction failure must be unintended to qualify for coverage. Other than blatantly obvious accidents waiting to happen, damages to third parties from faulty workmanship appear to fall within the scope of California’s CGL coverage. Indiana, Georgia, Texas, and Florida recently reaffirmed this position.

New Jersey, on the other hand, expanded CGL coverage even further. Since at least 1979, the state has held that defective workmanship that results in bodily injury to a person or damage to someone else’s property is a covered occurrence in a CGL policy even if the defect develops gradually instead of suddenly. In 2011, South Carolina held for coverage in a similar progressive property damage case where the damage was caused by the policyholder’s subcontractor (“the subcontractor exception”), using a “time on risk” analysis to apportion damages. Maryland, Kansas, and Wisconsin adopted the same subcontractor exception.

What If My Company Operates in Multiple States?

Which state’s law applies to Smith v. XYZ Assurance? The answer depends on several factors.

The law of the state where the accident occurred is generally not applicable unless the policy specifically identifies a site-specific risk. The resulting declaratory judgment suit doesn’t seek damages from the accident itself, but instead asks the court to interpret the provisions of an insurance contract.

The conflict of laws principles (rules that determine whose legal system

Political Corner

2. Does the policy identify a site-specific risk? If operations are covered in only one jurisdiction, a site-specific risk is inferred. However, if the policy covers operations in multiple states, then the mere fact that a particular state is listed doesn’t justify an inference of site-specific coverage in that state. In that case, the site of the insured risk must be expressly designated. Operations in multiple states can make multiple designations of site-specific risk for different locations.

3. If the policy doesn’t include any site-specific provisions, the courts will look to a handful of factors to determine which state has the most interest in the case. These include where the insurance contract was formed, where the contract was negotiated, where it will be performed, and where the accident occurred. The domicile of the insured and the insurer are considered as well.

The policyholder’s place of performance is the state where it maintains its business office or where it mailed or electronically transferred its payments for insurance premiums. The insurance company performs in the forum state (the state whose courts will hear and decide the dispute) where it may be required to proffer a defense, which may or may not be the state where the accident occurred. Courts weigh these factors qualitatively, and as can be expected, the nuances of this process vary widely between states.

How can you protect yourself ? The most important lesson is to know where you stand – be aware of the law governing the occurrence clause in your home state, plus any states where you’re about to start construction. Make sure you include site-specific designations in your policy endorsements, even multiple designations for different projects. Cover your bases before the outset of any project as a proactive defense against future claims.

The Architecture of Herzog & de Meuron

erzog & de Meuron is a Swiss architecture firm with its head office in Basel, Switzerland, where it was founded in 1978. The careers of founders and senior partners Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron (both born in 1950) closely paralleled one another, with both attending the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron have been visiting professors at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design since 1994 and professors at ETH Zürich since 1999.

In 2001, Herzog & de Meuron were awarded the Pritzker Prize, the highest of honors in architecture (see companion article on page 28). In reference to HdM's innovative use of exterior materials and treatments, such as silkscreened glass, Pritzker jury chairman J. Carter Brown commented, "One is hard put to think of any architects in history that have addressed the integument of architecture with greater imagination and virtuosity." Juror Ada Louise Huxtable said, "They refine the traditions of modernism to elemental simplicity, while transforming materials and surfaces through the exploration of new treatments and techniques.” In 2006, The New York Times Magazine called them "one of the most admired architecture firms in the world."

Sculpted By The Wind

ince 1930, Pininfarina has been an Italian car design firm. It was family owned until 2015 when it was purchased by the Mahindra Group, an Indian multinational conglomerate holding company. Under contract, they have been employed by a wide variety of automobile manufactures to design vehicles. - Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Peugeot, Fiat, GM, Lancia, Maserati, Daewoo and Hyundai as well as and many Chinese companies in the Asian market.

Since the 1980s, Pininfarina has also designed high-speed trains, buses, trams, rolling stocks, automated light rail cars, people movers, yachts, airplanes, and private jets. It has consulted on industrial design, interior design, architecture, and graphic design. Now, it has completed its first residential project – a luxury tower in São Paulo that aims to bring the "sportiness and elegance" of its car design to architecture.

Cyrela is a 23-story tower with 92 studio apartments, with large balconies that curves out from the facade. They are intended to give the impression that the building has been ‘sculpted by the wind’.

Making a huge splash into the development arena, Pininfarina is already working on a second residential tower in São Paulo, which is planned to be complete in 2020.

The studio has completed several interior projects and is working with AECOM to design the air traffic control tower at Istanbul New Airport, having won out over proposals from Zaha Hadid and Moshe Safdie (among others) to get there. The shape of the structure is intended to reference the tulip – a symbol of Istanbul.

Today she is on the speaking circuit and teaches drama classes at Providence Christian School. Her loving views of Texas history appear in every issue of the network..

hristopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492 and landed somewhere in the Caribbean - maybe. We’re not sure where he was, and he certainly didn’t know. By 1517, the Spanish explorers were even deeper into where they didn’t know where they were. Well, they were in Texas - at the gulf coast. Cabeza de Vaca kept a diary, and he recorded that he and his men were fed by the natives. What did they eat? Food they had never seen before. Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca was a Spanish explorer of the New World, and one of four survivors of the 1527 Narváez expedition.

They ate corn. Corn didn’t grow in Europe. The Cabeza de Vaca Spanish brought corn back to Spain. They ate tomatoes.

Tomatoes didn’t grow in Europe. The Spanish brought the seeds back to Spain, but the Spanish people didn’t like tomatoes. In fact, the first Europeans to readily eat tomatoes were the Italians. The English threw them at actors they didn’t like. They ate peppers. Peppers didn’t grow in Europe.

Oh, how the Spanish loved that hot spicy treat!

You Say Potato, I Say ‘mmmm’

They ate potatoes. Potatoes didn’t grow in Europe. What? What about the Irish? Well, the Spanish brought the potato to Ireland via the Spanish Armada.

The Spanish understood that the potato was nutritious and that it had a long shelf life. They had a good supply of potatoes on the ships of the Spanish Armada, when they went off to conquer England in 1588.

However, it was the English who conquered the Spanish, and, in defeat, the Spanish ships headed for home. A big wind blew them over the coast of the Northern British Isles to the coast of Ireland. The Spanish sailors were tired of being on a ship, so they disembarked in Ireland…with potatoes, which is how the potato got to Ireland. Once, on a visit to Ireland, I met a blue-eyed, red haired Irishman named José Rodriguez. He was descended from the same Spaniards who brought the potato to Ireland – and, in Ireland, they are considered special people Hernán Cortés, marqués del Valle de Oaxaca, was a Spanish conquistador who overthrew the Aztec empire and won Mexico for the crown of Spain.

Spanish explorer Cortés and his men went to what is now Central America and there they met the Mayans. When he came upon what is now Mexico, he saw a city so beautifully built he thought of his homeland, Spain. The Mayans were very advanced. Their cities were beautifully built, and in those cities the people were drinking a drink that really caught the attention of Cortés. It was cacao! Chocolate!

Hernán Cortés

At the time, cacao trees only grew in Central America. The beans were in pods that jutted out of the trunk of the tree. You had to carefully cut the pod off so as not to damage the place of growth, because pods would grow back at the same spot. The cocoa beans were cherished by the Spanish. When they brought them back to Spain, the beans were used as money. The Spanish didn’t immediately share the chocolate with the other countries of Europe, but eventually they did.

Oddly enough, the United States did not have chocolate until the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair.

The Germans brought Chocolate to their exhibition. A young man in the caramel candy business tasted the chocolate and knew he was going into the chocolate business. His name was Milton Hershey. The rest is history.

The Spanish had never seen anyone cook like the natives. They ran a rod through the whole goat and turned it over and over the fire. The Spanish called it barbacoa - barbeque! Sometimes, the natives dug a pit, filled it with hot rocks and threw the whole goat into the pit. Pit barbeque!

Let them eat …goat.

Notice I said goat. There were no cows or horses on the newly discovered continent. Columbus noticed that everyone was eating goat. On his second voyage, he brought the Andalusian ponies and the cows to the new world, leaving them with his men with instructions to not eat them, but to breed them. By his fourth and final voyage, Columbus was pleased with the herds of cattle and horses.

The big food exchange came when the Spanish brought over oranges, Vitamin C -- so necessary to prevent scurvy. Without oranges, the natives got their Vitamin C from the tomatoes. The Spanish came with Valencia Oranges. They planted the seeds in Florida where the orange trees flourished. In 1800 the church sent Padre Bali from Florida to what is now the Texas Rio Grande Valley to start a mission. He brought the orange seeds with him. Later, Texas A & M came down to the valley and created Ruby Red Grapefruits – today, a multi-million-dollar citrus business. Padre Bali is remembered. An island was named for him - Padre Bali. The Bali was dropped, so it’s Padre Island.

South Padre Island is named for Padre Jose Nicolas Balli who inherited the island from his parents and established Rancho Santa Cruz here. This statue of Padre Balli is at the eastern foot of the Queen Isabella Causeway.

When slaves were brought here from Africa, they brought watermelon and okra seeds with them.

(Watermelons love to grow where it’s hot.) They also brought a recipe for Okra Gumbo. In the early 1900s, Mr. Fox Winnie decided he wanted to raise rice in Texas. He invited a Japanese family to come to Winnie, Texas, and show him how to raise rice. (Winnie is south of Houston in the bayou country.) The Japanese family came and were very successful raising rice in the lowlands. Today, there are many Japanese people living in that area.

In Bay City, a gentleman invited a Japanese family to come to his city to show him how to raise rice. When they were leaving, he asked that they send him a barrel of another kind of rice, so he would have a variety. He also asked for a Japanese tea set. “Oh, the tea set would get broken,” they claimed. “Not if you stick it in the rice,” was his reply.

Go to Bay City. you’ll see rice growing in the bayous, and in the museum, there is a fragile Japanese tea set without a crack.

One last food story. Sir Walter Raleigh brought English horses and cows to Virginia. In the early 1800s, the Spanish vaqueros decided to breed an English cow with a Spanish cow and they created a Texas Long Horn. That breed produced the finest meat. The Long Horn never got sick on the trail and never lost weight. There’s a question as to why they have the long horns. One cowboy story says it’s because there’s more calcium in the grass in Texas. Another says they grew the horns because they had to ward off wild animals on the trail. You can decide for yourself.

“Employee of the Month is a good example of how somebody can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.” (Demitri Martin)

The Burr–Hamilton Duel

A

aron Burr was the sitting Vice President of the United States and Alexander Hamilton was the former Secretary of the Treasury. On July 11, 1804 in Weehawken, New Jersey (at a time when the practice of Ale xand er Hamilton Aaron Burr dueling was being outlawed in the northern United States), the long and bitter rivalry between the two men culminated in a draw duel with immense political ramifications.

In a pistol duel, the two would typically start at a pre-agreed length of ground, which would be measured out by the seconds and marked, often with swords stuck in the ground (referred to as “points”). At a given signal, often the dropping of a handkerchief, the principals could advance and fire at will. This latter system reduced the possibility of cheating, as neither principal had to trust the other not to turn too soon.

Another system involved alternate shots being taken, beginning with the challenged firing first. (In this sketch, the duelists are standing at an unusually short distance from each other; most were fought where the opponents were standing approximately 50 feet apart.)

Hamilton shot first, only to miss and hit a tree directly behind Burr. Whether or not this was a ‘deloping’ (French for “throwing away”) of one’s first shot in order to halt a duel is still a matter of historical debate. Burr responded by shooting and mortally wounding Hamilton, who was carried to the home of William Bayard, where he died the next day.

William Bayard Jr. was a prominent New York City banker and a close friend of Alexander Hamilton, who was taken to his Greenwich Village home after the duel.

The duel arose from long-standing personal bitterness that developed between the two men over the course of several years, with tensions reaching a boiling point with Hamilton’s journalistic defamation of Burr’s character during the 1804 New York gubernatorial race, in which Burr was a candidate.

The duel was the final skirmish of a long conflict between Democratic-Republicans and Federalists, which began in 1791 when Burr won a U.S. Senate seat from Philip Schuyler, Hamilton’s father-in-law, who would have supported Federalist policies. (Hamilton was the Secretary of the Treasury at the time.) The Electoral College deadlocked in the election of 1800, during which Hamilton’s maneuvering in the House of Representatives caused Thomas Jefferson to be named president and Burr vice-president.

Burr survived the duel and was indicted for murder in both New York and New Jersey. The charges were later either dismissed or resulted in acquittal, though the harsh criticism and animosity directed toward him following the duel brought an end to his political career. The Federalist Party, already weakened by the defeat of John Adams in the presidential election of 1800, was further weakened by Hamilton’s death.

It became clear that Jefferson would drop Burr from his ticket in the 1804 election, so the Vice President ran for the governorship of New York instead.

Hamilton campaigned vigorously against Burr, who was running as an independent, causing him to lose to Morgan Lewis, a Democratic-Republican endorsed by Hamilton.

Both men had been involved in duels in the past. Hamilton had been a principal in 10 shotless duels prior to his fatal encounter with Burr, including duels with William Gordon (1779), Aedanus Burke (1790), John Francis Mercer (1792– 1793), James Nicholson (1795), James Monroe (1797), and Ebenezer Purdy/ George Clinton (1804). He also served as a second to John Laurens in a 1779 duel with General Charles Lee, and to legal client John Auldjo in a 1787 duel with William Pierce. Hamilton also claimed that he had one previous honor dispute with Burr; Burr claimed there were two.

The 1800 U.S. Presidential Election

T

he fourth United States presidential election was held from October 31 to December 3, 1800; in what is sometimes referred to as the “Revolution of 1800”, Vice President Thomas Jefferson of the Democratic-Republican Party defeated incumbent President John Adams of the Federalist Party.

Adams had narrowly defeated Jefferson in the 1796 election. Under the rules of the electoral system that were in place prior to the 1804 ratification of the 12th Amendment, each member of the Electoral College cast two votes, with no distinction made between electoral votes for president and electoral votes for vice president. As Jefferson received the second-most votes in 1796, he was elected vice president. In 1800, unlike in 1796, both parties formally nominated tickets. The Democratic-Republicans nominated a ticket consisting of Jefferson and Aaron Burr, while the Federalists nominated Adams and Charles Pinckney.

Each party formed a plan in which one of their respective electors would vote for a third candidate or abstain so that their preferred presidential candidate (Adams for the Federalists and Jefferson for the Democratic-Republicans) would win one more vote than the party’s other nominee. At the end of a long and bitter campaign, Jefferson and Burr each won 73 electoral votes, Adams won 65 electoral votes, and Pinckney won 64 electoral votes.

Under the Constitution, the outgoing House of Representatives were to choose between Jefferson and Burr. Each state delegation cast one vote, and a victory in the contingent election required one candidate to win a majority of the state delegations. Neither Burr nor Jefferson were able to win on the first 35 ballots of the contingent election, as most Federalist Congressmen backed Burr and all of the Democratic-Republican Congressmen backed Jefferson.

A contingent election for the president is decided by a vote of the House of Representatives, and the contingent election for the vice president is decided by a vote of the Senate. The procedure, along with the other parts of the presidential election process, was first established in Article Two, Section 1, Clause 3 of the United States Constitution, and later modified by the 12th Amendment.

Charles Pinckney

John Adams

Thomas Jefferson

Hamilton personally favored Jefferson over Burr, and he convinced several Federalists to switch their support to Jefferson, giving Jefferson a victory on the 36th ballot of the contingent election. The result of this election was affected by the three-fifths clause of the United States Constitution; some historians have argued that had slaves not been counted for the purposes of congressional apportionment, Adams would have won the electoral vote.

The Three-Fifths Clause of the Constitution was a compromise reached among state delegates during the 1787 Constitutional Convention. Whether, and if so, how, slaves would be counted when determining a state’s total population for legislative representation and taxing purposes was important, as this population number would then be used to determine the number of seats that the state would have in the House of Representatives for the next ten years. The compromise solution was to count 3 out of every 5 slaves as a person for this purpose. Its effect was to give the southern states a third more seats in Congress and a third more electoral votes than if slaves had not been counted at all, but fewer than if slaves and free persons had been counted equally, thus allowing the slaveholder interests to largely dominate the government of the United States until 1861.

Texas Burden of Proof Standards

any of us are familiar with courtroom proceedings from watching TV and movies. Some of our experiences are hatched from fictional shows, others are based on real-life stories. Of course, who can forget the (in)famous O.J. Simpson trials in the 1990s? If you recall, in October 1995, a criminal-court jury found O.J. not guilty of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, yet two years later a civil-court jury held him legally responsible for their deaths. So, how is the civil court’s determination different from the criminal? And is O.J. still NOT guilty of murder? To understand how all this can happen, you must understand the appropriate burden of proof standards.

Nevertheless, it is often the focal point for debate in a criminal proceeding – which is why television court-room dramas are so… well… dramatic.

This standard requires prosecutors to put on a case that leaves no real possibility that the defendant is not guilty – the jurors need to be firmly convinced of a defendant’s guilt. This standard was created by the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution. It has often been said that this standard is so important because fundamentally it is far worse to “convict an innocent man than to let a guilty man go free”, which is why prosecutors have such a high burden of proof to convict someone of a crime.

Background on The Burdens

The Texas Penal Code tells us that jurors in a criminal case are We hear stories all the time. Some are short and sweet, others are “God places the heaviest told that they must presume that the defendant is innocent lengthy and complex. Some are true and some are false. How burden on those who unless and until the prosecutor convinces them that there is no do we know if a story is true or not? We determine a story’s real possibility that the defendant isn’t guilty. The jurors must can carry its weight.” start with a clean mental slate and the prosecutor must try to validity based on who tells it and how believable it is. If you receive an email from a Nigerian prince proclaiming you just - Reggie White firmly convince them otherwise, leaving no doubt in their won $3,000,000, you probably won’t believe it, but if your vegan minds. Keep in mind that this standard applies in all criminal best friend tells you he just had a portabella mushroom and beet cases – from some vehicular incidents to mass murders. salad for lunch, you’ll probably believe him. This makes sense because we all set standards for what we deem to be believable or not.

To make this concept even more complicated to understand, there are other burdens of proof in our criminal-justice system, which apply before a case gets The law in Texas (and all other states) sets similar standards for what is believable to a jury. The lowest such burden is “reasonable suspicion”. Reasonable and what is not in a courtroom. The law calls these standards “burdens of proof ”. suspicion is defined as an “articulable fact”, such as a broken taillight, A burden of proof is a standard of how convinced a jury must be to strong marijuana odor, etc., to suspect a crime. In order to stop or detain a suspect, make a decision at the conclusion of a trial. This is important to real-estate a law-enforcement official must reasonably suspect a crime. However, in order to professionals because lawsuits and crimes arise all the time in our world. Whether make an arrest, a law-enforcement official needs to go beyond reasonable suspicion it is a personal injury case or a breach of contract case, or criminal act at your and prove “probable cause”. Probable Cause means that the officer has sufficiently property, we need to know how these burdens of proof work to understand what trustworthy facts to believe that a crime has been committed. For example, if an happens in any given incident. officer pulls you over because you ran a red light and are swerving, then smells alcohol on your breath, and you flunk a field sobriety test, the officer has probable Types of Burdens cause to arrest you.

Texas recognizes three burdens of proof: beyond a reasonable doubt; clear and Clear and convincing evidence: This standard is the “middle of the road” convincing evidence; and preponderance of the evidence. between the reasonable doubt and preponderance of the evidence standards. This standard requires a judge or jury to have substantial assurance that the allegations Beyond a Reasonable Doubt: This is the highest standard that Texas law are correct. In order to be clear and convincing, evidence must eliminate any imposes, and it only applies in criminal cases. Unlike the clear and convincing serious doubt about a fact or set of facts. The Texas Family Code defines clear and standard (discussed below), the Texas legislature has not created a definition convincing evidence as “the measure or degree of proof that will produce in the of the “reasonable doubt” standard. It might seem counterintuitive that such a mind of the trier of fact a firm belief or conviction as to the truth of the allegations high standard, which is used all the time in every criminal case, lacks a clear-cut sought to be established.” In other words, this standard requires someone to prove definition. However, it is a concept that is very difficult to define. Thankfully, there that the facts are substantially more likely than not to be true – that there have been plenty of judges and scholars over the years who have weighed in on is a high probability that a particular fact (or set of facts) is true. this topic to help bring clarity for other judges, juries, defendants and attorneys.

This standard isn’t used all that often – we typically see it in cases where a Texas’ citizen is about to lose her or his rights. For example, the determination of whether to sever the parent/child relationship often requires the person seeking to sever the relationship to substantially prove that their story is true. Also, since the Texas legislature passed certain tort-reform laws a few years ago, a plaintiff who is trying to seek punitive damages from a defendant in a civil case must now unanimously convince a jury with clear and convincing evidence that the defendant was grossly negligent.

By a Preponderance of the evidence: This is the lowest standard of all three and applies in civil cases, such as personal injuries, other types of torts, and breach of contract cases. This standard requires a plaintiff to show “it is more likely 50

THE NETWORK | JUNE 2018

than not” that their story is correct, and the defendant’s story is not correct. This is often described as a “51/49 burden”.

The preponderance of evidence standard is the greater weight of the evidence required in a civil lawsuit for the jury to decide in favor of one side or the other. This preponderance is based on the more convincing evidence and its probable truth or accuracy. There is no clear-cut definition for preponderance of evidence standard.

ARSENAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION

In a civil lawsuit, a plaintiff filed a lawsuit because someone did something the plaintiff doesn’t like and now they want something. Typically, the “wrong” is some type of physical or financial injury and the plaintiff wants money for their troubles. Since the plaintiff filed a lawsuit and wants a jury to take time out of their day(s), then the plaintiff has to dazzle them with reasons why he is right. But the plaintiff only has to convince the jury that it is “more likely than not” that his story is more believable than the defendants’ story. In other words, if the scale tips just slightly for the plaintiff, then the plaintiff will win (hence the reference to the “51/49 burden” discussed above).

Beast of Burden

Justice is a decision in your favor.

Why does the legal system use the word “burden”? What does that mean? Well, in a criminal or civil trial, the burden of proof determines which party is responsible for showing evidence and the level of evidence they must provide in order to win. In most civil cases, the plaintiff has the burden of proof, and in criminal cases, the prosecutor has that burden. The burden determines which standard of proof the plaintiff must follow in presenting evidence to the judge or jury. A standard of proof determines the amount of evidence the plaintiff or defendant needs to provide for the jury to decide.

Keep in mind, however, that this is not a mathematical function. In other words, the jury doesn’t simply add up who submitted more evidence. Jurors are required to listen to all the evidence before they make up their minds; they are supposed to withhold all judgment until they hear all the evidence so they can decide which way to tip the scale. The jury’s job is to decide whose evidence they believe more. For example, in some cases the plaintiff or prosecutor could spend days, weeks, or months putting on their evidence, and the defendants don’t have to do anything but sit on their hands and watch. Just because the plaintiff or prosecutor put on more evidence, it doesn’t mean that they automatically win; they have to convince the jury that they are right based on the applicable burden of proof. If they don’t hit the applicable mark, then they didn’t carry the burden.

Conclusion

The next time you are faced with a legal issue, stop and put yourself in the shoes of potential jury member. Clear your mind of any pre-determined judgments and try to analyze all the evidence – regardless of whether it is good or bad for your side; then apply the applicable burden. You will see that it is not an easy task. Getting back to the O.J. Simpson case, it should be clear (and convincing) after reading this article why, while he was not found guilty of any crime, he was financially liable in the subsequent civil suit In the criminal case, the prosecutor was not able to firmly convince the jury that there was no real possibility of O.J. being innocent. By contrast, in the civil case, the plaintiffs were able to ‘tip the scale’ and show that it was more likely than not that O.J. was responsible for Nicole Brown Simpson’s and Ron Goldman’s deaths. As a result, O.J. didn’t go to jail for those crimes, yet he wound up having to pay a lot of money to Nicole’s and Ron’s estates.

Sandro Del-Prete - The Master of Illusions

S

andro Del-Prete’s thoughts about the human way of looking at things form the mental starting point and the driving force for his artistic activity.

Fifty years ago, Sandro drew inspiration from a chameleon. As he pondered the strange-looking creature, he realized that one eye looked forward while the other scrutinized the rear. He reflected on how this little animal, with its panoptical sight, might perceive the world around it. He began looking at things from different perspective and tried to realize these on paper. So, he discovered a new dimension in which “Everything we see can be seen the normal terms like front, back, top, bottom, right in another way. Therefore, I and left could no longer be used. These were then all the same, so front was at the same time back ask myself; isn’t everything an etc. All the individual parts were however correctly illusion anyway? Reality is but drawn in the picture, only the whole piece appeared a question of perception, and impossible.

Florence, the city of beautiful art, formed the starting point for the artistic work of the then 23-yearold Del-Prete. During his study at the Academia delle bell arte, he found the time and the ideal surroundings to set off on his way into the world of optical illusions.

In the work of Michelangelo, Rembrandt and Rubens, amongst others, the young artist studied the techniques of light and shadow, form design and colour as well as perception inevitably varies structural elements. In addition to the technical skills of the old masters, Sandro Del-Prete immersed himself in Soon afterwards, he experimented with other types according to one’s viewpoint. symbolism and the possibilities of portraying the internal of illusions as are summarized in his various books Different viewpoints lead to connections between the artist and his work.

Great art is among the most sublime, meaningful, and redeeming creations of all civilization. Few endeavors can equal the power of great artwork to capture aesthetic beauty, to move and inspire, to change perceptions, and to communicate the nature of human experience. Great art is also complex, mysterious, and challenging. Filled with symbolism, cultural and historical references, and often visionary imagery, great artworks oblige us to reckon with their many meanings.

Architects and designers (many of our readers) have a lot of influence on the way we perceive the world.

A structure often plays a significant part in how we experience a place. (Think of a restaurant, a museum, an arena, a stadium…even an office building – virtually anywhere!) The interior design impacts our sensory perception, our comfort, and our physical connection and there is also artistry in the exterior design. (That’s why we call it artchitecture.)

The World Happiness Report (produced by the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network) is a landmark survey of the state of global happiness. The World Happiness Report 2018, which ranks 156 countries by their happiness levels, and 117 countries by the happiness of their immigrants, was released on March 14th at a launch event at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences in the Vatican. A subsequent event took place on March 20th, celebrating the International Day of Happiness at the United Nations. (Since it was first published in 2012, the World Happiness Report demonstrated that well-being and happiness are critical indicators of a nation’s economic and social development and should be a key aim of policy.)

You just rotate the color control dial on the Matias keyboard to change the color. No software is needed.

Nouns that Started as Proper Nouns Some of those who have achieved immortality because their names are now indelibly imprinted in our minds.

Amelia Jenks Bloomer – an outspoken, late 19th century feminist. She didn’t invent ‘bloomers’, but she did advocate their use by women instead of corsets and hoopskirts.

Dr. J.I. Guillotin – a French physician. Motivated by mercy, he did not invent but was a strong advocate for a method of execution that was more humane that hanging.

I have to spend a lot of money on food. My family won’t eat anything else.

Henry Shrapnel – an English artillery officer. He created the shell that helped defeat Napoleon in 1815.

Sylvester Graham – a food faddist of the early 1800s. Ralph Waldo Emerson called him “the poet of bran meal and pumpkins.” He was an advocate of vegetarianism and high fiber and ‘graham crackers’ and ‘graham flour’ Charles Cunningham Boycott – a tyrannical land agent for an absentee owner. He was the overseer of the Earl of Erne’s estate in Ireland who tried to evict potato farmers who (after two consecutive bad harvests) demanded lower rents. The farmers banded together and harassed Boycott until he fled the country.

Nicholas Chauvin – a fanatically loyal soldier in Napoleon’s army. He inspired the word ‘chauvinism’.

Tom Collins – a 19th century barter at Limmer’s Old House in London.

Jean Nicot – the French ambassador to Portugal in the 1550s. He brought tobacco to France; when nicotine was found in the leaves of tobacco, it was named after him.

J. Lechmere Guppy – a clergyman living in Trinidad. He sent several species of fish to the British Museum, including the tiny specimen that now bears his name.

Jules Leotard – a renowned French acrobat in the 1800s. He designed and introduced the tight-fitting outfit that “does not hide your best features.”

John Duns Scotus – a scholar and theologian of the 13th century. Two hundred years after his death, his followers (known as ‘Scotists’, or Dunsmen’ or ‘Dunses’) were reviled for their resistance to the new ideas of the Renaissance. ‘Enlightened’ thinkers chided the Dunses for their ignorance. Over time dunses became dunces.

Etiene de Silhouette - Louis XIV’s unpopular controller-general in 1759. He drew shadow portraits of his critics “recommending” them for their “cheapness” and those portraits were named after him.

Helen Porter “Melba” Mitchell was an Australian opera singer in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Her stage name came from her hometown – Melbourne. When she was dieting, she ate thin slices of bread, now called Melba Toast; when she wasn’t she ate a desert called Peach Melba.

Charles Wenberg was a 19th century shipping mogul. He discovered a new recipe for lobster and gave it to famous restaurateur Lorenzo Delmonico, who named it after him – Lobster Wenberg. Soon after, Wenberg was thrown out of Delmonico’s Restaurant for fighting. His punishment, the first three letters of the dish were transposed; Lobster Wenberg became Lobster Newberg.

Haile Salassie was the emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 – 1974. “Tafari Makonen” was his name before he became emperor, and “Ras” means a duke or a prince. Hence Ras Tafari – which explains the origin of the word Rastafarian.

ANSWER FROM PAGE 58: YOU’RE GOING TO CALL ME WHAT?

2 ALF is an American sitcom that aired on NBC from September 22, 1986, to March 24, 1990.

The title character is Gordon Shumway, a friendly extraterrestrial nicknamed ALF (an acronym for Alien Life Form) an alien from the planet Melmac, who crash lands in the garage of the suburban middle-class Tanner family in the San Fernando Valley area of California after following an amateur radio signal to Earth. ALF was performed by puppeteer Paul Fusco, who co-created the show with Tom Patchett. Unsure what to do, the Tanners take ALF into their home and hide him from the Alien Task Force (a part of the U.S. military that specializes in aliens) and their nosy neighbors, until he can repair his spacecraft. He generally hides in the kitchen.

3 Baby Huey is a gigantic and naïve duckling cartoon character, created by Martin Taras for Paramount Pictures’ who became a cartoon star during the 1950s. He first appeared in Quack-a-DoodleDoo, a theatrical short produced and released in 1949. Many animated shorts featuring Huey had recurring themes.

Most common among them was him trying to be just like any other kid his age.

He would see his peers playing and would immediately get excited. Unfortunately, whenever he tried to involve himself in the activities of his peers (also anthropomorphic 62

ducklings), he would inadvertently cause problems at their expense, and as a result they would drive him away through trickery (and into tears). A hungry fox would show up, originally intending to eat Huey’s peers, but upon seeing Huey as a bigger meal and overhearing the distraught duck’s desires to play with someone, would feign friendship and set traps along the way, all of which would prove ineffective on Huey and/or backfire on the fox.

4 Pee-wee Herman is a comic fictional character created and portrayed by American comedian Paul Reubens. He is best known for his two television series and film series during the 1980s. The childlike Pee-wee Herman character developed as a stage act that quickly led to an HBO special in 1981. As the stage performance gained further popularity, Reubens took the character to a motion picture with Pee-wee’s Big Adventure in 1985, toning down the adult innuendo for the appeal of children. This paved the way for Pee-wee’s Playhouse, an Emmy Award-winning children’s series that ran on CBS from 1986 to 1991. Another film, Big Top Peewee, was released in 1988. Due to negative media attention following a scandal in 1991, Reubens decided to shelve his alter ego during the 1990s, then gradually resurrected it during the following decade.

5 Foghorn J. Leghorn is a cartoon character that has appeared in Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons for Warner Bros. Pictures; he starred in 28 cartoons from 1946 to 1963.

The character of Foghorn Leghorn was directly inspired by the popular character of Senator Claghorn, a blustery Southern politician who was a regular character on The Fred Allen Show, a popular radio show of the 1940s. The rooster adopted many of Claghorn’s catch phrases, such as “That’s a joke, ah say, that’s a joke, son.”

(A leghorn is a breed of chicken, and foghorn describes the character’s loud, overbearing voice.)

6 Tony the Tiger is the advertising cartoon mascot for Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes (also known as Frosties) breakfast cereal, appearing on its packaging and advertising. More recently, Tony has also become the mascot for Tony’s Cinnamon Krunchers and Tiger Power.

Since his debut in 1952, the character has spanned several generations and become a breakfast cereal icon.

1 Aflac Inc. (American Family Life Assurance Company) is an American insurance company and the largest provider of supplemental insurance in the United States. It was founded in 1955 and is based in Columbus, GA. In the U.S., Aflac underwrites a wide range of insurance policies, but is more known for its payroll deduction insurance coverage, which pays cash benefits when a policyholder has a covered accident or illness. Since December 1999, the company’s identity and brand has become more widely recognized in the United States as the result of TV commercials featuring the Aflac Duck, who quacks the company’s name to unsuspecting prospective policy holders. The Aflac Duck is enshrined on Madison Avenue’s Walk of Fame as one of America’s Favorite Advertising Icons. The duck was originally voiced by comedian Gilbert Gottfried; however, after 11 years as the voice of the Aflac duck, Gottfried was dismissed in 2011, due to jokes on Gottfried’s Twitter account referencing the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.
