The new addition to the Arab Primary School has been completed and is being used for music and science lab classes.

Next school year principal Dr. Leah Keith plans on using the addition for much more.

We will have six, second grade classrooms by the beginning of next school year, Keith said. There will still be some second grade classes in the original building, however.

These new classrooms have several technological aspects which, Keith said, will be useful.

Each room has a projector and (smart) board, she said. Teachers in these classrooms will also have access to their own heating and cooling units. Were trying to keep these new rooms cutting edge and basically making them an extension of what we already do.

The new classrooms also have convenient technology such as motion detectors to control the rooms lights.

Iowa State University's C6 simulator can take you inside a burning house, an active shooter situation and even a fire aboard the International Space Station.

The C6 is a cube-shaped room in Howe Hall on the ISU campus in Ames. Every side of the cube lights up with images and with the addition of 3D glasses people go through a realistic virtual experience.

"Remember, it's a really, really heavy thing to do to close the hatch," said Nir Keren, an ISU associate professor of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering.

"Everything becomes real," said Elmer Tse, a junior in Aerospace Engineering at ISU.

"Some of the video games are getting extremely good, life like, but what they're missing is a sense of depth, a sense of just presences and that's what the C6 brings," said Peter Carlson, a C6 project 3D artist.

The C6 is lit up by 100 million pixels, images made by a highly advanced projection system. Every single side measures 10 feet and each side of the cube-shaped room adds to a viewer's 3D experience.

"This is a very sophisticated lab that creates this real life experience," said Keren.

Keren and a kinesiology professor are using the C6 to study and test how humans make decisions and respond in stressful situations.

"We measure heart rate, blood pressure," said Keren.

TOLEDO, OH (Toledo News Now) - A major rehabilitation project is underway on a landmark Toledo bridge.

Despite the ever changing weather, ODOT confirms The Anthony Wayne Bridge will be completed on budget and on time.

Last week, crews removed the second of two truss spans on either side of the bridge.

Now, the new spans can be constructed.

Work on those have already started and will continue through next year.

The majority of ODOT projects are weather permitting, but crews are able to work on the bridge during the winter months.

It's a historic bridge, and we want to preserve that. So ,what we are doing is that we are restoring the bridge. Obviously we've got a lot of updates to do, and we will work very carefully, said Theresa Pollick, Public Information Officer Ohio Department of Transportation District Two.

The closure will last for 19 months and that's primarily for the safety of workers and drivers.

The bridge deck, sidewalks, railings, lighting, fencing and expansion joints will be replaced and updated.

Substructure work and structural steel repairs to towers will also take place.

A new, quick-service Chinese restaurant called Junzi Kitchen is set to open at 21 Broadway this spring, replacing A-1 Pizza and adding to the growing number of new businesses on Broadway.

The restaurant, which will serve Northeastern Chinese food in a Chipotle-style service line, is a project partnered with the Yale Entrepreneurial Institute, and will incorporate sustainable food practices into the business.

We have the opportunity to introduce a very interesting, authentic culture, said Yong Zhao FES 15, CEO and co-founder of Junzi Kitchen. We want to make this food accessible to all people.

The restaurant will serve wraps, rice bowls and salad bowls with protein and vegetable fillings and a choice of sauce. Zhao said that the menu draws from the Chinese dish chun bing, or spring pancake, which is served at a round table with fresh ingredients and is not typically served at Chinese restaurants in the U.S.

Orange chicken doesnt exist in my hometown, said Zhao, who hails from Northeast China.

This past summer, Junzi Kitchen was one of the 10 projects selected for the Yale Entrepreneurship Institutes Summer Fellowship program, which provides a $15,000 grant to student startup ventures. Since Zhao and his team developed their project over the summer, they have been running test kitchens around New Haven to develop recipes as well as production and serving methods. The restaurant has run tests at The Grove in New Haven and plans to continue running pop-up locations before its opening, slated for March 2015.

Michael Keefrider, Junzi Kitchens director of communications, customer experience and sustainability, said that the seasonal climate in Northeast China is similar to Connecticuts, so similar vegetables grow well in both places. He said that the restaurant plans to use bok choy, kale, brassica, cabbage, Chinese kale and cauliflower in their dishes.

Keefrider added that the restaurants approach to sustainability extends beyond the food itself, and that the business will consider sustainability in its upcoming construction. He also said that Junzi Kitchen will use energy-efficient equipment and will focus on using recycled and compostable materials, as well as managing their own waste.

Wanting Zhang FES 11, co-founder and operations director of Junzi Kitchen, said that the restaurant aims to meet the needs of students, both by selling food at affordable prices and by staying open late.

Its nice having more healthy options that represent different types of foods, Adelaide Goodyear 17 said after hearing about the new restaurant.

Portland, OR (PRWEB) December 03, 2014

Neil Kelly Company, an award-winning design-build remodeling firm, announces its Top 8 interior design trends for 2015. A trend is not a fad. A trend veers in a new direction. A fad fades fast. A trend shows a social tendency. A fad shows thatwhoever fell for ithas more dollars than sense.

So, when the 25 design consultants at the Neil Kelly Company weigh in on whats new for your home in 2015, they are talking about 2015 design trendsnot fads. So, as tempting as it is to include cute, funky little gadgets that are better suited to late night TV hawkers, Neil Kelly will stick with the 2015 design trends that will last through and well past 2015.

Presenting the Great Eight Design Trends of 2015:

Trend #1: The Next Frontier (see photo #1, photo credit Kohler)

According to the worlds leading platform for home remodeling and design, Houzz.com, nearly half of us remodel to prevent potential health problems. So this trend is more anesthetic than aesthetic. We believe that the healthy home is the next frontier in home renovation, says Neil Kelly President Tom Kelly. Remodelers have a critical role to play in helping people make changeslarge and smallto improve their home environments.

Whether its non-offgassing finishes, no-formaldehyde cabinets, or better air filtration systems, homeowners realize a benefit to the family in creating a healthy living space. Take this notion one stepor flushfurther and youll discover Kohlers SanSouci Touchless Toilet. Thats right, to flush this water closet you just wave your hand over the toiletno touching required.

Trend #2: Creature Comforts (see photo #2)

Some creature comforts never go out of style, and many see technological improvements over the years. Thats the case with heated floors in the bathroom. It gets pretty cold in Central Oregon, so my clients here often want heated floors, says Kathleen Donohue. And these clients took it a step further and added an increasingly popular featurea heated towel rack.

Trend #3: Reduce, Reuse, Rebirth? (see photo #3)
