Algorithms reveal how propane becomes propylene for everyday products
Countless everyday products, from plastic squeeze bottles to outdoor furniture, are derived by first turning propane into propylene.

Time to relax 🍸

Photo of a black and white that decided to rest in a large, decorative martini glass sitting on top of an old stereo / furniture piece next to some other vintage 60s furniture. Somehow the kitty looks comfy, proving yet again that cats are liquid.

The image shows three rectangular red signs stacked on top of one another. The signs are angled slightly upward and appear to be made of metal. Each sign has white lettering. The top sign reads “TO DO IS TO BE” - Nietzsche. The middle sign reads “TO BE IS TO DO” - Kant. The bottom sign reads “DO BE DO BE DO” - Sinatra. The background is out of focus and reddish in tone with some indiscernible shapes suggesting furniture or a room interior.

Good Morning #Canada
February 3rd, 1916, a fire breaks out in Canada’s Parliament buildings resulting in a total loss of the structure with only the library saved. In the midst of #WWI, German sabotage was suspected but a later investigation found that a burning cigar in some furniture was more likely. Our current Parliament building replaced the ruins and have served faithfully ever since. But approximately a year ago the rehabilitation of Canada’s Centre Block on Parliament Hill started. Expected to cost $4.5B to $5B, it is a multi-year project targeted for completion by 2031. Crumbling mortar, outdated electrical and HVAC, and weak supporting structure are all on the to-do list, as well as modernizing the building.
I started watching this 2-part CPAC video last night (2 hours in total) and it's full of history and architecture details. Spoiler: there are no tips for your bathroom reno.

Trump has added tariffs on many components that comprise the building blocks of manufacturing,
including a 50 percent tax on steel, aluminum and copper.
And tariffs have hit autos to the tune of 25 percent — with many exceptions,
10 percent on lumber
and 25 percent on upholstered furniture and vanities.

Here’s what’s going on with Trump’s tariffs, prices and the Supreme Court
Here’s what tariffs are on, which are at risk and what’s happening with consumer prices.

The history of archiving and record-keeping has recently attracted a lot of attention, however, scholarship on the physical and spatial aspects of that history are still scant. Hence, the volume foregrounds the material aspect of record-keeping and highlights the object-nature of archiving. Chapters on archive-related document preparation and the composition of archivable records are followed by explorations of storage containers, furniture, and spaces. The volume is cross-cultural in nature, h…

My youngest got me the most amazing Christmas present! A session handling some items from the V&A East storehouse. Yes, actual touching allowed! (Gloves provided) So I touched two ancient mandolins, a watercolour by Beatrix Potter, an original sketch for a Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back costume design, and a four-track tape recorder and mixer desk owned by David Bowie. She knows me so well. ❤️❤️❤️ #art <…

A big open warehouse, bright and clean, filled with racks holding artifacts like furniture, clothes, instruments,... People mill around, but not too many.
An ancient mandolin, on a cushion. It is intricately inlaid with mother of pearl.
Detail of the headstock of one ancient mandolin, with a bizarre linear tuning system. There's mother of pearl inlay here too.
The back of a tiny mandolin from the 17th century. It's made it out all the things you can't use today - mahogany, ivory, turtle shell... But it's beautiful. And so light to hold.

Fitted with Mollycroft roof to suit the Harris family, much of the furniture was handcrafted and is reported to have gained the seal of…

Solidarity to union members and students facing cuts at North Island College. VIU and NIC have a friendly rivalry, but more importantly, we each serve as access-focused post-secondary institutions for portions of Vancouver Island north of Victoria.
The list of program suspensions is long. And unfortunately includes some skills in my field… but they are generally... broad cuts. I've included the list below.
The #BCNDP Government seems perfectly ok with post-secondary institutions in BC going through the worst cuts in at least 25 years (my career) and I would dare say - ever.

Good Morning #Canada
I slept in this morning, getting an extra 90 minutes or so of extra #ZZZs. I usually get 7 to 8 hours of sleep, meeting the Canada Health recommendations, and apparently better than most Canadians. The attached article has some sleepy stats from a study commissioned by IKEA but doesn't address sleeplessness due to stress related furniture building. Some additional data:
- 60% of Canadians say they wake up “well rested”.
- Albertans are sleep-deprived as only 9% say they never find it hard to fall asleep. Compared to Saskatchewan and Manitoba (19%), Ontario (20%), B.C. and Atlantic Canada (27%), and Quebec (28%).
- 47% of us say money and financial matters affected our sleep.
- Quebec residents use more sleep medications (11.5%) than those in Ontario (6.7%), and we have Doug Ford.
- Only 5% of Canadians would give up intimate relations for better sleep.
