Thanksgiving Day, annual national holiday in the United States and Canada celebrating the harvest and other blessings of the past year. Americans generally believe that their Thanksgiving is modeled on a 1621 harvest feast shared by the English colonists ( Pilgrims) of Plymouth and the Wampanoag people. The American holiday is particularly rich in legend and symbolism, and the traditional fare of the Thanksgiving meal typically includes turkey, bread stuffing, potatoes, cranberries, and pumpkin pie. With respect to vehicular travel, the holiday is often the busiest of the year, as family members gather with one another.

Plymouth's Thanksgiving began with a few colonists going out "fowling," possibly for turkeys but more probably for the easier prey of geese and ducks, since they "in one day killed as much as...served the company almost a week." Next, 90 or so Wampanoag made a surprise appearance at the settlement's gate, doubtlessly unnerving the 50 or so colonists. Nevertheless, over the next few days the two groups socialized without incident. The Wampanoag contributed venison to the feast, which included the fowl and probably fish, eels, shellfish, stews, vegetables, and beer. Since Plymouth had few buildings and manufactured goods, most people ate outside while sitting on the ground or on barrels with plates on their laps. The men fired guns, ran races, and drank liquor, struggling to speak in broken English and Wampanoag. This was a rather disorderly affair, but it sealed a treaty between the two groups that lasted until King Philip's War (1675-76), in which hundreds of colonists and thousands of Native Americans lost their lives.

The New England colonists were accustomed to regularly celebrating "Thanksgivings," days of prayer thanking God for blessings such as military victory or the end of a drought. The U.S. Continental Congress proclaimed a national Thanksgiving upon the enactment of the Constitution, for example. Yet, after 1798, the new U.S. Congress left Thanksgiving declarations to the states; some objected to the national government's involvement in a religious observance, Southerners were slow to adopt a New England custom, and others took offense over the day's being used to hold partisan speeches and parades. A national Thanksgiving Day seemed more like a lightning rod for controversy than a unifying force.

Thanksgiving Day did not become an official holiday until Northerners dominated the federal government. While sectional tensions prevailed in the mid-19th century, the editor of the popular magazine Godey's Lady's Book, Sarah Josepha Hale, campaigned for a national Thanksgiving Day to promote unity. She finally won the support of President Abraham Lincoln. On October 3, 1863, during the Civil War, Lincoln proclaimed a national day of thanksgiving to be celebrated on Thursday, November 26.

The holiday was annually proclaimed by every president thereafter, and the date chosen, with few exceptions, was the last Thursday in November. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, however, attempted to extend the Christmas shopping season, which generally begins with the Thanksgiving holiday, and to boost the economy by moving the date back a week, to the third week in November. But not all states complied, and, after a joint resolution of Congress in 1941, Roosevelt issued a proclamation in 1942 designating the fourth Thursday in November (which is not always the last Thursday) as Thanksgiving Day.

As the country became more urban and family members began to live farther apart, Thanksgiving became a time to gather together. The holiday moved away from its religious roots to allow immigrants of every background to participate in a common tradition. Thanksgiving Day football games, beginning with Yale versus Princeton in 1876, enabled fans to add some rowdiness to the holiday. In the late 1800s parades of costumed revelers became common. In 1920 Gimbel's department store in Philadelphia staged a parade of about 50 people with Santa Claus at the rear of the procession. Since 1924 the annual Macy's parade in New York City has continued the tradition, with huge balloons since 1927. The holiday associated with Pilgrims and Native Americans has come to symbolize intercultural peace, America's opportunity for newcomers, and the sanctity of home and family.

Days of thanksgiving in Canada also originated in the colonial period, arising from the same European traditions, in gratitude for safe journeys, peace, and bountiful harvests. The earliest celebration was held in 1578, when an expedition led by Martin Frobisher held a ceremony in present-day Nunavut to give thanks for the safety of its fleet. In 1879 Parliament established a national Thanksgiving Day on November 6; the date has varied over the years. Since 1957 Thanksgiving Day has been celebrated in Canada on the second Monday in October.

The BBC has revealed its list of 100 inspiring and influential women from around the world for 2020.

This year 100 Women is highlighting those who are leading change and making a difference during these turbulent times.

The list includes Sanna Marin, who leads Finland's all-female coalition government, Michelle Yeoh, star of the new Avatar and Marvel films and Sarah Gilbert, who heads the Oxford University research into a coronavirus vaccine, as well as Jane Fonda, a climate activist and actress.

And in an extraordinary year - when countless women around the world have made sacrifices to help others - one name on the 100 Women list has been left blank as a tribute.

How were the 100 Women chosen?

The BBC's 100 Women team drew up a shortlist based on names gathered by them and suggested by the BBC's network of World Service languages teams. We were looking for candidates who had made the headlines or influenced important stories over the past 12 months, as well as those who have inspiring stories to tell, achieved something significant or influenced their societies in ways that wouldn't necessarily make the news. The pool of names was then assessed against this year's theme - women who led change - and measured for regional representation and due impartiality, before the final names were chosen.

What is 100 Women?

BBC 100 Women names 100 influential and inspirational women around the world every year. We create documentaries, features and interviews about their lives, giving more space for stories that put women at the centre.

Follow BBC 100 Women on Instagram and Facebook and join the conversation.

In an extraordinary year, when countless women around the world have made a sacrifice to help others, the first place on the list is left open to acknowledge their work and to remember those who have lost their lives while making a difference.

Though BBC 100 Women cannot name every woman across the globe who has made a contribution, this space is designed to allow you to think of the people who have had an impact on you, over the course of 2020.

During the pandemic, Rina and her team of helpers have served around 400 meals a week - including rice, vegetables, eggs and meat - to sex workers in Dhaka who have found themselves without clients, and are thus struggling to feed themselves.

> People see our profession as demeaning, but we do it to buy food. I am trying to make sure women in this profession are not left hungry, and their children will not have to do this work.

Here an AI construction...

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
About 7 percent of the world's labor force is employed in the construction industry, so it is a major sector of the world economy. Individuals and businesses spend $10 trillion per year on construction-related activities (McKinsey, 2017). Other sectors have used AI and other technologies to transform their productivity performance. Construction, in comparison, has progressed at a glacial pace.

The global construction industry has grown by only 1 percent per year over the past few decades. Compare this with a growth rate of 3.6 percent in manufacturing, and 2.8 percent for the whole world economy. Productivity, or the total economic output per worker, has remained flat in construction. In comparison, productivity has grown 1500 percent in retail, manufacturing, and agriculture since 1945. One of the reasons for this is that construction is one of the most under-digitized industries in the world and is slow to adopt new technologies (McKinsey, 2017).
Check out the free guide What is Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning? Adapt or Die to see how the right cutting-edge technology helps construction firm to keep up. AI and Machine Learning for Smart Construction
Adopting the latest technology can be daunting for teams. But machine learning and artificial intelligence are helping make job sites more efficient and saving money in the process. AI solutions that have made an impact in other industries are beginning to emerge in the construction industry.
1. Prevent cost overruns
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an aggregative term for describing when a machine mimics human cognitive functions, like problem-solving, pattern recognition, and learning. Machine learning is a subset of AI. Machine learning is a field of artificial intelligence that uses statistical techniques to give computer systems the ability to "learn" from data, without being explicitly programmed. A machine becomes better at understanding and providing insights as it is exposed to more data.
2. AI for Better Design of Buildings Through Generative Design
McKinsey expects the spread of AI in the construction sector to be modest in the immediate future ( McKinsey, 2018). Nonetheless, a shift is coming. Stakeholders can no longer afford to see AI as pertinent only to other industries. Engineering and construction will need to catch up with AI methods and applications. That is the only way to contend with incoming market competitors and to remain relevant.
3. Risk Mitigation
The potential applications of machine learning and AI in construction are vast. Requests for information, open issues, and change orders are standard in the industry. Machine learning is like a smart assistant that can scrutinize this mountain of data. It then alerts project managers about the critical things that need their attention. Several applications already use AI in this way. Its benefits range from mundane filtering of spam emails to advanced safety monitoring.
4. Project Planning
Most mega projects go over budget despite employing the best project teams. Artificial Neural Networks are used on projects to predict cost overruns based on factors such as project size, contract type and the competence level of project managers. Historical data such as planned start and end dates are used by predictive models to envision realistic timelines for future projects. AI helps staff remotely access real-life training material which helps them enhance their skills and knowledge quickly. This reduces the time taken to onboard new resources onto projects. As a result, project delivery is expedited.
5. AI Will Make Jobsites More Productive
Building Information Modeling is a 3D model-based process that gives architecture, engineering and construction professionals insights to efficiently plan, design, construct and manage buildings and infrastructure. In order to plan and design the construction of a building, the 3D models need to take into consideration the architecture, engineering, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) plans and the sequence of activities of the respective teams. The challenge is to ensure that the different models from the sub-teams do not clash with each other. The industry is trying to use machine learning in the form of generative design to identify and mitigate clashes between the different models generated by the different teams in the planning and design phase to prevent rework. There is software that uses machine learning algorithms to explore all the variations of a solution and generates design alternatives. It leverages machine learning to specifically create 3D models of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems while simultaneously making sure that the entire routes for MEP systems do not clash with the building architecture while it learns from each iteration to come up with an optimal solution.
6. AI for Construction Safety
Every construction project has some risk that comes in many forms such as Quality, Safety, Time, and Cost Risk. The larger the project, the more risk, as there are multiple sub-contractors working on different trades in parallel on job sites. There are AI and machine learning solutions today that general contractors use to monitor and prioritize risk on the job site, so the project team can focus their limited time and resources on the biggest risk factors. AI is used to automatically assign priority to issues. Subcontractors are rated based on a risk score so construction managers can work closely with high-risk teams to mitigate risk.
7. AI Will Address Labor Shortages
An AI Startup launched in 2018 with the promise that its robots and artificial intelligence hold the key to solving late and over budget construction projects. The company uses robots to autonomously capture 3D scans of construction sites and then feeds that data into a deep neural network that classifies how far along different sub-projects are. If things seem off track, the management team can step in to deal with small problems before they become major issues. Algorithms of the future will use an AI technique known as "reinforcement learning." This technique allows algorithms to learn based on trial and error. It can assess endless combinations and alternatives based on similar projects. It aids in project planning since it optimizes the best path and corrects itself over time.
8. Off-site Construction
There are companies that are starting to offer self-driving construction machinery to perform repetitive tasks more efficiently than their human counterparts, such as pouring concrete, bricklaying, welding, and demolition. Excavation and prep work is being performed by autonomous or semi-autonomous bulldozers, which can prepare a job site with the help of a human programmer to exact specifications. This frees up human workers for the construction work itself and reduces the overall time required to complete the project. Project managers can also track job site work in real time. They use facial recognition, onsite cameras, and similar technologies to assess worker productivity and conformance to procedures.
9. AI and Big Data in Construction
Construction workers are killed on the job five times more often than other laborers. According to OSHA, the leading causes of private sector deaths (excluding highway collisions) in the construction industry were falls, followed by struck by an object, electrocution, and caught-in/between. A Boston-based General Contractor with annual sales of $3 Billion is developing an algorithm that analyzes photos from its job sites, scans them for safety hazards such as workers not wearing protective equipment and correlates the images with its accident records. The company says it can potentially compute risk ratings for projects so safety briefings can be held when an elevated threat is detected.
10. AI for Post-Construction
Labor shortage and a desire to boost the industry's low productivity are compelling construction firms to invest in AI and data science. A 2017 McKinsey report says that construction firms could boost productivity by as much as 50 percent through real-time analysis of data. Construction companies are starting to use AI and machine learning to better plan for distribution of labor and machinery across jobs. A robot constantly evaluating job progress and the location of workers and equipment enables project managers to tell instantly which job sites have enough workers and equipment to complete the project on schedule, and which might be falling behind where additional labor could be deployed. Experts expect construction robots to become more intelligent and autonomous with AI techniques.

Construction companies are increasingly relying on off-site factories staffed by autonomous robots that piece together components of a building, which are then pieced together by human workers on-site. Structures like walls can be completed assembly-line style by autonomous machinery more efficiently than their human counterparts, leaving human workers to finish the detail work like Plumbing, HVAC and Electrical systems when the structure is fitted together.

At a time when a massive amount of data is being created every day, AI Systems are exposed to an endless amount of data to learn from and improve every day. Every job site becomes a potential data source for AI. Data generated from images captured from mobile devices, drone videos, security sensors, building information modeling (BIM), and others have become a pool of information. This presents an opportunity for construction industry professionals and customers to analyze and benefit from the insights generated from the data with the help of AI and machine learning systems.

Building managers can use AI long after the construction of a building is complete. Building information modeling, or BIM, stores information about the structure of the building. AI can be used to monitor developing problems and even offers solutions to prevent problems.

Robotics, AI, and the Internet of Things can reduce building costs by up to 20 percent. Engineers can don virtual reality goggles and send mini-robots into buildings under construction. These robots use cameras to track the work as it progresses. AI is being used to plan the routing of electrical and plumbing systems in modern buildings. Companies are using AI to develop safety systems for worksites. AI is being used to track the real-time interactions of workers, machinery, and objects on the site and alert supervisors of potential safety issues, construction errors, and productivity issues.

Despite the predictions of massive job losses, AI is unlikely to replace the human workforce. Instead, it will alter business models in the construction industry, reduce expensive errors, reduce worksite injuries, and make building operations more efficient.

Leaders at construction companies should prioritize investment based on areas where AI can have the most impact on their company's unique needs. Early movers will set the direction of the industry and benefit in the short and long term.

50 Common Phrases in English // Native Speaker uses them every day

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I discovered how this ancient tradition that comes from the native peoples of America emerges and is based on.

Seven sips, three drinks, one long, one full glass, and always on an empty stomach. Taking cane with rough on the first day of August is a custom that does not lose followers. It is believed that complying with this ritual will bind health and luck and drive away envy and evil. But where does it come from and what does it mean?

This custom, rooted in northern Argentina, more specifically in the provinces of Misiones and Corrientes, has spread throughout the country and is a millennial tradition that comes from the native peoples of America. They recognized in the rough multiple medicinal properties against parasites and gastrointestinal disorders, and was also used to soothe burning and irritation of bugs and vermin bites. As in August there were heavy rains, which together with the cold caused many deaths in the population and livestock, they created this natural remedy where the cane is mixed with the ruda to overcome these problems.

Originally, liqueurs made with chañar, patay, tunas or carob were used, to which the contrayerba or medicinal herbs were added. With the arrival of Europeans, the components mutated to conform to the recipe we know today.

The introduction of cane cultivation for the manufacture of sugar, during the Spanish colonization period, began to produce cane brandy in parallel. Added to this was the arrival of the ruda in America whose medicinal capabilities did not go unnoticed.

To this combination of plant and drink the imaginary Guaraní awarded him properties and virtues. From there derived the popular belief that considers the cane with rough as a spell against envy and bad luck. This brew is consumed "to scare away the ills of winter".

While tradition dictates that it must be taken on August 1, those who forget or fail to do so have the opportunity to do so until the 15th of the month.

In addition, in Argentina and several Latin American countries, the 1st of August is celebrated Pachamama Day. It is a thanksgiving party that is celebrated in different ways depending on the region. One of the most popular rites, of course, is to take cane with ruda.

Happy day, Mother Earth!

Introduction

Ministro Pistarini International Airport, commonly known as Ezeiza Airport, is the international air terminal quintessential Argentina. It is named after the main promoter of the project.

It was officially opened on April 30, 1949, during the first presidency of Juan Domingo Peron. At the time, it was the world's largest airport. Currently accounts for 85% of the international traffic in Argentina, which is devoted almost exclusively, since domestic flights to neighboring countries and preferably use the central Aeroparque Jorge Newbery.

Took over the airport in 1998, Argentina Airports 2000, as part of the privatization of the National Airport System.

The expansion and renovation was in charge of M / SG / S / S / S Architects study.

From the award worked on program development in collaboration with the SEA Milan, member of the dealer group of 32 airports in Argentina.

On the 12th. Editing the World Travel Awards (2005) held in London, was named the best airport in South America.

Currently, next to the International Airport of Guarulhos in Sao Paulo (Brazil), has the privilege of being the only Latin American airports connected with five continents: Africa, America, Asia, Europe and Oceania.

In 2008, with an investment of $ 400 million, began a new extension of 160 thousand square meters on the platform sector. To open in 2012 is expected.

Location

It is located in Ezeiza, Buenos Aires province, on the outskirts of the City of Buenos Aires.

It is accessible by private car or bus Riccheri highway, on lines 8 and 51 that reach the interior of the property.

Concept

An air terminal is a landmark building. There, the visitor receives the first image of the country. In the first remodeling of 1998, the basic premise was to create this change from presenting in front of the existing building and along the road a new technology solution architecture that was in line with the times and space requirements of an international airport.

The proposal raises spatial Terminal cleaning, eliminating the existing visual pollution.
The important architectural joint parts has been performed with the aim of improving the movement and direction of movement stress to be taken by passengers.
Architectural ideas consider the need for non-stop operation of the Terminal, emphasizing the idea precise makeover shortly. It was a major project for the development of the impossibility of reducing the functionality of the Terminal by more than 25%, as required by international standards concept. Based on this premise was necessary to consider passenger comfort during the making of the work, trying to get the same cause the least possible inconvenience.

The lay out provides for the possibility of a phased development work. The proposal states clearly differentiate traffic flows of passengers, departures and arrivals.

Spaces

The central space of the first remodeling is the great departure hall of Terminal A: a single area of ​​160 meters long and 32 meters deep, covered by a metal structure covering the light cross 32 meters without intermediate supports. The volume has a sloping roof designed a variable height between 20 and 15 meters, which arises from the need to splice the new building with the existing Terminal. The skylights are generated between the slightly curved metal panels that act as suspended ceilings, skylight sifting.

From the platform that leads to the level of loading, the large window lets you see the planes taking off. Access to the building is from the longitudinal facade. The great hall welcomes the traveler facing with 90 counters "check-in". There is one open space where the escalators are strategically located, glazed lifts, corporeal signs and all the elements that serve passenger trade circumstantial, bars and wait.

Since the completion of this work, the arrivals and departures areas were separated by using the new building as departures hall and the old arrivals hall. This flow problem preventing the departing passenger will cross with that comes, also resolving the difficulty of designing two movements at the same level is solved. Architectural decisions were related to the communication needs of the passenger. An airport needs spaces for visual communication, resolved through signposting monitors, etc. Thus, the location of these elements determines the architecture, since surfaces that contain them must be created.

Taking advantage of the road project, which commands the passage of vehicles, the entries are emphasized with the addition of a large canopy that precedes and dialogues by technological similarity with the departures hall, a ship with a large interior glazed specialty.

At the same time in the arrivals hall space with a central glazed roof, which retrieves the lost ground luminosity was proposed. In relation to the functional aspects, the ground floor is organized and designed so that the passenger "pass and do not stop." Instead upstairs reverse result occurs: it opens outward toward the outside, which is where the plane carrying it.

The building of the hall consists of two elements: a base where the access, shops and offices, and the great ship that expresses the metal structure 32 meters clear span.

The airport is divided into two terminals, and Aerolineas Argentinas terminal Internacional.Las two terminals have a commercial sector as well as medical services, banks, pharmacy and a tourist information center. It also operates a food sector.

System monitoring and control individual lights are also installed. Later the two main tracks were renewed. The lighting system of the airport was equipped with a new system approach, new indicator start and end runway lights, a full landing area and a central line system, systems PAPI, new side and center lights for taxiways new constant current regulators and electric transformers. Work on the crossing of the two tracks was a challenge, since they were carried out without disrupting air traffic operations. As a result of works, since December 2002, both runways were recategorized to CAT IIIa by ICAO. The next step was the installation of a new ALCS (Airfield Lighting and Control System or Lighting and Control System Airport) and an update to the system monitoring and control individual lights (a DOS version to an interface-based operating system Windows).

Traffic flows

Circulatory flows of passengers, departures and arrivals are clearly different.
Cash Games: The road linearly organizes the location of the access to the Terminal. Before them, in the great ship glass banks are organized check in, then go up two cores located in the great hall. The furthest from the existing building communicates with a rolling road going balconeando offering a ride to the new hall before reaching the pre-Games respective controls areas. After the sequence of security checks and passports (PAN), you access the waiting room, waiting hall flights, with access to shopping areas, free shop, confectionery, VIP rooms, etc.
Finally you access gateways to address aircraft.

Streams items (aircraft remote option)

After security checks and immigration, the passenger floor to a waiting room boarding aircraft that are far from the jetty.

He entered for any of the sleeves go down to ground floor; by vertical circulation cores at passport control and, after passing through the free trade area of shop, you enter the courtyard baggage drop.

New Roads, ground transportation, vehicular parking within the Airport connection between Building Passenger and access roads

It takes as its premise the flow separation Arrivals and Departures in the vehicular system, the separation criteria for the type of transport: private cars, taxis, limos and buses.

Parking: A three-level building was projected, two covered and one uncovered a total of 528 vehicles. However, the expansion of the parking lot, the volume of the new emerging departures hall stars in the perspective you get when you get to the air terminal, setting a new image of it.

The new configuration creates greater perimeter sidewalks and efficient and convenient connection between the building and the new passenger ingress and egress routes.

Materials

The basement hall building was realized with a carpenter sanding horizontally striped glass, topped with a silver metalic alpolic valance that runs the entire length of the building to the west. The great ship has a metal frame glass enclosure evergreen color.

Ahead of western marquee above parts unfolds: metal frame with lights support of 40 meters and a roof made of prepainted sheet rajas including polycarbonate panel. With lesser lights takes place in the front of the marquee this air zone with similar characteristics.

Structure

The highlight of the building is the metal roof structure, developed based on the design of an articulated truss allows light cover 32 meters without intermediate supports.
