We recently uncovered this mockup pasted on a board for a sickness bag for American Airlines in the archives. We couldn’t resist showing it off along with some of the other ephemera we have for the airlines corporate identity. Massimo Vignelli designed the American Airlines corporate identity while at Unimark International in 1967. Sadly, they abandoned the system in 2013 after nearly 40 years. Luckily we have lots of examples of the original design in the archives! Image descriptions: Printed pasteup of an American Airlines sick bag on a black board. Large red American title type across the top. Text in navy blue lower case sans-serif type says “for motion discomfort/para mareo.” With smaller nonsensical placeholder text in navy blue reads “ing surprising in their in an age domain” Vintage 35mm slide of two American Airlines ticket envelopes. Back view in navy blue which first says “American” in white type above a a front view of a red envelope with white border along bottom that has American Airlines logotype in red and blue next to text that “Jet Express Ticket.” Matchbook with double A and eagle logo for American Airlines. Timetable for from 1968 for American Airlines with rows of clocks on the cover showing every half hour. In 1968, you didn't need this flight timetable according to American Airlines if you were flying from Chicago to NYC, because there was a nonstop flight every 30 minutes! Cover of a brochure white background with back text that says “If you don’t like our menu, change it!” above an outline illustration of a fork, knife and spoon. The spoon has the double A with an eagle logo in red and blue. Cover of a folded map with the American Airlines logotype in red and blue and the title “Directions” in black text below it. Illustration features blue circles on a red background with various colored pointing arrows, one in each circle pointing in different directions. Cover of an American Airlines Annual report for 1969. White background text in red and blue and a large double A and eagle logo in red and blue. Sketch of a 1971 American Airlines Annual Report with large slanting logotype and double A and eagle logo in red and blue. Pencil grid in background.

various s!3v3n related dreams I have had

◇Met him in a liminal tesco (British walmart) where he told me to stay hydrated then disappeared.

◇I was transpored to a purple vaporwave void, I met S!3v3n again and he just fucking ate me

◇ Was waiting in what looked like a hospital waiting room but there was no hospital connected to the building, just the large waiting room. Outside was forest and it was night. I sat next to S!3v3n on one of the oddly shaped sofas in silence. Later on I met him in the forest. He told me someone put him in a shitty mobile game and left. The dream then cut to the game. It was a dating simulator that would randomly cut to a candy crush ripoff that completely clashed with the dating sim.

◇Didn't see s!3v3n himself in this one, just fanart. I found a lost polemon strangled red Facebook group. I saw the group grow and descend into drama about S!3v3n's design and then it was deleted.

            Let’s talk Soundwave in the Nizziverse. Soundwave and Blaster were both part of the same body frame devised under Fuctionist rule; Members of this niche were designed to act as comms experts, helping to facilitate radio waves, receive and send signals, all that jazz. Some were stationed on colonies to help establish contact with Cybertron, others stayed on Cybertron itself to keep the airwaves running.

         It was your typical job of helping with the news, being in charge of transmission towers, often being said transmission towers. These Cybertronians also played a role in decoding and analyzing alien frequencies, as part of the empire’s larger effort to engage with and ultimately conquer other civilizations. Scouts would use sonar imaging to create maps of new worlds and their local terrain.

         To aid these Transformers, smaller Cybertronians known as Cassettes were devised, acting as scouts who could record visual and auditory data, before reporting back to a handler to physically connect with them. Data would be transferred, and the handler could act as both storage and transporation, as well as as an amplifier for whatever their Cassettes had observed.

         Wireless communications were one way to receive their data, but sometimes the Functionists were paranoid of enemies tuning in to said transmissions and figuring out what the Empire knew; Physical transfer avoided this. Likewise, interference from the local environment was another motivator. Most importantly, the Functionists, for all their faults, recognized the value of physical copies, and the Cassettes were designed among many reasons to serve this purpose, contributing to an effort to create backups and other records to fall back on.

         Vocoded voices were the default, as these Transformers could narrow down their tune to impersonate any sound and especially voices for replay function, as well as entertainment purposes too. Many members of this body frame were sociable and often played music to the delight of those around them.

         Soundwave and Blaster served this niche in the waning days of the Functionist regime. Blaster did media and propaganda propagation, serving in public radio networks and broadcasts, hence his more extroverted and playful personality. By contrast, Soundwave was a recluse even amongst his fellow brethren, designed to handle long stretches of loneliness in assisting communications between distant colonies and Cybertron. This often meant being stationed by himself on asteroids to boost signals, made not to have a voice or thoughts of his own, but merely to relay those of others.

         Soundwave was eventually moved back to Cybertron, to facilitate airwaves in the backwater, quieter regions of Cybertron. Due to his own natural disposition and the conditioning of his environment, Soundwave didn’t really hang out with his coworkers, instead studiously attending to his job before leaving, exactly by clockwork. Contrary to popular belief, Soundwave DID have his own ideas and reflections, but his silent and introverted personality made it easy for people to assume he was just a mindless grunt, a perfect gear for the Cybertronian machine who was bored and aloof.

         Some found him a creep or cold, like talking to a wall, others would joke or gossip behind his back with the occasional rumor of what he did back in his apartment. He often became ignored as just a setpiece, a part of the background; But little did people know, they underestimated Soundwave’s ability to observe. He was always listening, and remembering, and in his spare time liked to make physical records to keep tabs on those around him.

         Soundwave meant no malice, it was just his only way of socially engaging with others, since doing so in real time was difficult and complicated and constantly changing. But when in retrospect, everything was set and easy for Soundwave to analyze and reflect on afterwards. He had other hobbies and deep interests, enjoying research, and was also dedicated to media preservation, collaborating with others online as a faceless account.

         Being online gave Soundwave a lot more freedom to express himself and talk to others in (relatively) real time. He participated in servers where Cybertronians took it upon themselves to gather and record lost pieces of media and history, and this eventually led Soundwave down a rabbit hole into forums filled with rather dissident ideas and data. Due to his expertise, Soundwave was able to keep his location encrypted, safe from government surveillance.

         This activity planted certain ideas in Soundwave’s head. So when he did his usual hobby of listening in on local airwaves as a voyeur, he caught wind of a gladiator’s scathing deconstructions of the Functionist regime. Known as Megatron, this local of Kaon waxed poetic in his theses about the government’s corruption and outdated policies, and Soundwave felt himself enamored with the charisma of this mysterious voice.

         Megatron had no idea Soundwave was listening, as he was skilled in encryption in ways even official surveyors weren’t. By all means, he should’ve reported this scandal to those in charge of censorship and keeping the peace… But that wasn’t HIS job, technically. So Soundwave didn’t, and fell in love with Megatron’s daring ideas. Soundwave had felt like he led an admittedly empty, meaningless existence, just going on through the motions as an ideal cog in the great Cybertronian machine.

         But Megatron’s ideas gave Soundwave purpose, and an actual future to look forward to, rather than an ever-present now. So Soundwave participated in isolated forums dedicated to this growing rebellion, made contact with Megatron behind an anonymous account, and eventually tracked him down. Megatron was deeply surprised and disturbed to be so easily found out, but Soundwave instead knelt and pledged loyalty to his cause, proclaiming Megatron to be a visionary that Cybertron needed.

         It quickly became apparent that Soundwave’s unwavering dedication was genuine, and Megatron recruited him as a second-in-command, ecstatic for Soundwave’s talents. Soundwave used his abilities to broadcast and relay Megatron’s speeches across Cybertron, keeping their location hidden while exposing countless Transformers to ideas of rebellion; In the early stages of the rebellion, he was a key founder and player. 

        His valuable work helped facilitate communications between rebel cells, enabling greater collaboration and effort, and it was in this effort that Soundwave first came across as Blaster, who operated as part of Optimus Prime’s cell. On the surface, Soundwave remained as seemingly aloof and stoic as ever, and many rebels didn’t understand why Megatron held him in such good faith. They figured Soundwave could easily rat them out, especially with his great trove of data and nearly singular access, but Megatron reciprocated Soundwave’s unwavering trust.

         Megatron encouraged Soundwave to speak up more, take more of a leadership role, as he became privy to just how much of a thinker he was after Soundwave felt comfortable in opening up and talking about his thoughts to the gladiator. Megatron recognized Soundwave’s potential, although many derided him as an ‘uncharismatic bore’ who was always wandering in his own head. Again, Soundwave played the role of support, but it was a role he actually chose this time; He genuinely believed afterwards that his life had no purpose until he met Megatron.

         As Megatron encouraged Cybertronians to think outside of the box and apply their talents in ways the Functionists didn’t intend, but that they were just as good for, Soundwave took his hobby of voyeurism and observation to the next step. When the rebellion became more intense, Soundwave acted as a hacker, working with his Cassettes to spy on Functionists and even those within the rebellion, as a means of keeping tabs on everyone. Soundwave dug up dirt and had it physically uploaded to a hard copy, in case the rebellion ever needed to strong arm someone into cooperating for the greater good.

         Soundwave exposed corruption through his work, and used sonar imaging to study what happened inside during stake-outs. His Cassettes infiltrated and downloaded important data, while also uploading sabotaging viruses. Soundwave became a master of surveillance, blackmail, and encryption, and garnered an even worse reputation amongst the rebels for it. He was often considered Megatron’s stooge, his eyes and ears, his little spy; Not that Soundwave minded what others thought of him.

         He also stretched the boundaries of his intended role in other ways, eventually learning combat and especially assassination, which Soundwave facilitated through his cassettes. Modifications weaponized his sonar imaging to become devastating sonic blasts, which under the right frequencies could shatter and expose key weak points. Soundwave also used this ability for interrogation and torture, as data continued to become an even bigger part of his existence. His vocoded voice could now be used to impersonate others, essentially catfishing for the rebellion.

         Appropriately, Soundwave eventually led a division of others of his body frame who also supported the rebellion. They acted as Megatron’s personal agents, carrying out the aforementioned tasks on an even wider scale. As the rebellion evolved into full-out war, members on both sides spread rumors that Soundwave could even hear the thoughts of those around them, and to be wary as a result.

         When the rebellion achieved victory, Soundwave helped personally announce the defeat of the Functionist regime, and the triumph of liberty. He attended celebrations afterwards with Megatron, showing a bit more personality than usual and even letting go a bit, playing music and his favorite tunes. It was during this time of peace that Soundwave got to know Optimus Prime, another one of Megatron’s close friends. 

        Likewise, as his brethren (such as Blaster) narrowed their vocoders down to individual voices, to assert their own individual identity, Soundwave kept himself vocoded. In his eyes, he was already given a voice of his own by Megatron, and anyhow he had his own duties to attend to.

         Under the new government, Soundwave enjoyed much more freedom like every other Cybertronian, and due to his prior combat experience, participated with Megatron in invading other worlds for their Energon; The planet needed repairs after a costly rebellion. The functions of Soundwave’s body type further expanded and were facilitated in such fields with the invention of Reedman’s unique frame (if it can be called that), as Cassettes were now employed and expected in warfare and assassination. Soundwave of course was a key player in displaying and establishing this modern precedent/feature of his type.

         Soundwave and his Cassettes’ newly-discovered talents applied on the battlefield as they did against the Functionists, with Soundwave often adopting a new satellite alt-mode to spy on civilizations from orbit. He played a key role in infiltrating and destabilizing societies from within, to set them up for Decepticon invasion; Often collaborating with natives and blackmailing them into service. During the period of open war that followed afterwards, Soundwave would sometimes use the recorded screams of victims as a means of psychological warfare.

         When public attention turned towards the dubious ethics of colonization (to put it lightly), Soundwave fanatically sided with Megatron, and thus supported imperialism. He fully trusted in Megatron and believed his leader could do no wrong, having seen how Megatron had brought everyone to glory and liberation under his rule. Accordingly, he dedicated himself to Megatron’s expanded ideas on Cybertronian superiority.

         Inevitably, Soundwave and his division evolved into a secret police of sorts, when Megatron expanded his power in a bid to unite Cybertron against these ‘weak-hearted dissidents’ that were showing more dedication to outsiders and enemies than their own kind. Once Soundwave and his brethren broadcasted and spread messages, now they inspected and censored them. They performed surveillance on behalf of the government, cracking down on a new generation of rebels and using their talents for suppression in ways the Functionists had failed to consider.

         If Soundwave ever stopped to consider the irony of his situation, he certainly didn’t show it, like a lot of things. Once more his talents applied, and he used his voice to commit what was basically government-backed catfishing, infiltratring forums and impersonating others to root them out. Soundwave worked closely with the Decepticon Justice Division in cracking down on dissidents, blocking their frequencies, interrogating and torturing, publicly defrauding through research and outright lies, the accumulation of blackmail, etc.

         Soundwave helped keep tabs on news stations, which put him into direct conflict with Blaster, who felt that the truth could not be suppressed, nor should reports on public opinion, questionable events, and so forth. Blaster thus became a rival and arch-nemesis for Soundwave as the Great War began, between Autobots and Decepticons; Soundwave seeing Blaster as a loud-mouthed blowhard who thrived on the attention of others but had little to say himself, and so compensated by yelling to make the silence of his head seem otherwise. Just a spout of mindless drivel, in his eyes.

         As the Great War raged, Cybertron’s Energon count drastically began to dwindle, and many casualties were suffered on both sides. Without the resources to adequately replenish such losses, many cassettes and others of Soundwave’s costly body frame were destroyed and never replaced. As a result, Soundwave and Blaster became rarities, holdovers from a previous age, as did their Cassettes. Soundwave had always been used to being lonely, but not like this, and this gradual extinction further radicalized and vindicated his support for Megatron not just by individual principle, but actual dedication to his ideals as well.

         Soundwave blindly supported Megatron in every action, keeping eyes on those within Decepticon ranks, and especially on the new and upcoming Starscream, repurposed from the body of a previous friend of Megatron’s. He acted as Megatron’s devil’s advocate and supporter in his absence, frequently butting heads with Starscream. When Megatron disappeared with the Allspark, Soundwave worked to maintain his authority even when he was gone, and guarded viciously against Starscream’s insinuations that Megatron had detrimentally doomed Cybertron with his Chimera Cube ploy.

         This truly proved Soundwave’s loyalty in the eyes of the Fallen, who was impressed by how the Decepticon fought back against Starscream’s suggestions that in his effort to save Cybertron, Megatron had merely screwed over their world and should thus be disregarded in favor of someone who not only meant what they said, but could actually carry it out (Starscream suggested such incompetence was a treachery in its own right, worth posthumously condemning). As a result, the Fallen revealed himself and his hidden mentorship to Megatron, acting on his apprentice’s behalf to maintain Decepticon leadership under the hopes he would one day return.

         Soundwave accepted Megatron’s decision to keep the Fallen secret from him without question, as in all his observations and listening, never once did he turn it to his own leader, not even out of idle curiosity or force of non-malicious habit. Through Soundwave, the Fallen kept the Decepticons from falling apart and especially from submitting to Starscream, as he searched for Megatron and the Allspark.

         Soundwave was suspicious of Starscream, but ultimately abided in letting him lead a scouting mission on a new potential colony, known as Earth by its inhabitants; Though just to be safe, he assigned his cassettes Rumble and Frenzy to keep an eye. When news of Megatron and the Allspark’s presence there was broadcast, Soundwave immediately relayed the message to Decepticons across the cosmos, trying to encrypt it from Autobot ears, as he headed straight for Earth; A new fire had been re-ignited by Megatron once more, as a day that had gone dark again, was once again lit up.

         Alas, Soundwave was nowhere close to Earth when he received an additional update; Not only were his two cassettes dead, Megatron had died by the Allspark itself, which was now lost and destroyed. Soundwave was devastated and refused to believe his leader would be so definitively taken away, after being brought back; But the Fallen’s arcane knowledge reassured him that there was a chance of resurrecting Megatron, thanks to the very means that ended his life.

         Soundwave thus worked with the Constructicons, guiding them to Earth as he collaborated with other Decepticon agents, behind Starscream’s back, to revive their fallen leader. Even as the Fallen revealed himself to Starscream and attended to the treacherous lieutenant, keeping him occupied, Soundwave’s efforts successfully retrieved a shard of the Chimera Cube, still lingering with the Allspark’s power, as well as the location of Megatron’s body.

         Megatron was revived by the Allspark, which gave back what it had taken, and Soundwave was reinvigorated once more. This time he had a proper reunion and deep thanks from Megatron, who was grateful for his lieutenant; And Soundwave merely dismissed the effort as only natural and expected. Soundwave assisted Megatron in his plot to harvest Earth’s sun, explaining everything he’d missed out on.

        After the Fallen was slain by Optimus Prime, Soundwave set to work on a new scheme, collaborating with various humans such as Dylan Gould to use the dark side of Earth’s moon to the Decepticons’ advantage. During this time, Soundwave abandoned his more modern satellite alt-mode and returned to his previous, default frame. The task of surveying Earth from orbit was symbolically assigned to Combaticon Blast Off instead, as Soundwave began to participate in groundwork once again; Something that always heralded the next, most destructive phase of Decepticon invasion… open combat itself.

Don't get me wrong, I think urban design should have a responsibility and obligation to take the needs of disabled people into account, but I think it's pretty cynical how whenever someone on this website talks about walkable cities, or better public transport, or simply making it so that urban design in cities is less car-centric and cars stop being a necessity to be able to move around, the notes fill up with people going "but what about diabled people who can't take the bus, hm? What about disabled people who NEED a car to move around?"; which like. It's a valid and important concern when brought up in good faith, but comes off as exploitative considering that it's more common for a disability to make you unable to drive a car than it is for a disability to make you unable to use public transporation or move around without a car, and yet you never see the same people complaining about how the current status quo of urban design makes cities completely inaccessible for disabled people who can't drive.

If the you're only concerned about cities being inaccesible to disabled people when people talk about making cities less car-centric, you don't actually care about disabled people, you're just using them to defend car-centrism.

None of the characters that are simped for were made to be simpable by you I think

and then it's the reverse for characters i built to be attractive 🤡

syd's hotter but cold rich cousin is right there guys, and hestia's descendant (the hot cousin's bestie) will literally design a flying transporation system with you in mind /silly 🤡🤡

Baltimore bridge collapse: A bridge engineer explains what happened, and what needs to change

- By Colin Caprani , Monash University , The Conversation -

When the container ship MV Dali, 300 metres long and massing around 100,000 tonnes, lost power and slammed into one of the support piers of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, the bridge collapsed in moments.

Six people are presumed dead, several others injured, and the city and region are expecting a months-long logistical nightmare in the absence of a crucial transport link.

It was a shocking event, not only for the public but for bridge engineers like me. We work very hard to ensure bridges are safe, and overall the probability of being injured or worse in a bridge collapse remains even lower than the chance of being struck by lightning.

However, the images from Baltimore are a reminder that safety can’t be taken for granted. We need to remain vigilant.

So why did this bridge collapse? And, just as importantly, how might we make other bridges more safe against such collapse?

A 20th century bridge meets a 21st century ship

The Francis Scott Key Bridge was built through the mid 1970s and opened in 1977. The main structure over the navigation channel is a “continuous truss bridge” in three sections or spans.

The bridge rests on four supports, two of which sit each side of the navigable waterway. It is these two piers that are critical to protect against ship impacts.

And indeed, there were two layers of protection: a so-called “dolphin” structure made from concrete, and a fender. The dolphins are in the water about 100 metres upstream and downstream of the piers. They are intended to be sacrificed in the event of a wayward ship, absorbing its energy and being deformed in the process but keeping the ship from hitting the bridge itself.

The fender is the last layer of protection. It is a structure made of timber and reinforced concrete placed around the main piers. Again, it is intended to absorb the energy of any impact.

Fenders are not intended to absorb impacts from very large vessels. And so when the MV Dali, weighing more than 100,000 tonnes, made it past the protective dolphins, it was simply far too massive for the fender to withstand.

Video recordings show a cloud of dust appearing just before the bridge collapsed, which may well have been the fender disintegrating as it was crushed by the ship.

Once the massive ship had made it past both the dolphin and the fender, the pier – one of the bridge’s four main supports – was simply incapable of resisting the impact. Given the size of the vessel and its likely speed of around 8 knots (15 kilometres per hour), the impact force would have been around 20,000 tonnes.

Bridges are getting safer

This was not the first time a ship hit the Francis Scott Bridge. There was another collision in 1980, damaging a fender badly enough that it had to be replaced.

Around the world, 35 major bridge collapses resulting in fatalities were caused by collisions between 1960 and 2015, according to a 2018 report from the World Association for Waterborne Transport Infrastructure. Collisions between ships and bridges in the 1970s and early 1980s led to a significant improvement in the design rules for protecting bridges from impact.

Guidelines like this have played a crucial role in improved bridge safety. IABSE

Further impacts in the 1970s and early 1980s instigated significant improvements in the design rules for impact.

The International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering’s Ship Collision with Bridges guide, published in 1993, and the American Association of State Highway and Transporation Officials’ Guide Specification and Commentary for Vessel Collision Design of Highway Bridges (1991) changed how bridges were designed.

In Australia, the Australian Standard for Bridge Design (published in 2017) requires designers to think about the biggest vessel likely to come along in the next 100 years, and what would happen if it were heading for any bridge pier at full speed. Designers need to consider the result of both head-on collisions and side-on, glancing blows. As a result, many newer bridges protect their piers with entire human-made islands.

Of course, these improvements came too late to influence the design of the Francis Scott Key Bridge itself.

Lessons from disaster

So what are the lessons apparent at this early stage?

First, it’s clear the protection measures in place for this bridge were not enough to handle this ship impact. Today’s cargo ships are much bigger than those of the 1970s, and it seems likely the Francis Scott Key Bridge was not designed with a collision like this in mind.

So one lesson is that we need to consider how the vessels near our bridges are changing. This means we cannot just accept the structure as it was built, but ensure the protection measures around our bridges are evolving alongside the ships around them.

Second, and more generally, we must remain vigilant in managing our bridges. I’ve written previously about the current level of safety of Australian bridges, but also about how we can do better.

This tragic event only emphasises the need to spend more on maintaining our ageing infrastructure. This is the only way to ensure it remains safe and functional for the demands we put on it today.

THE GOLD CURTAIN

The origins of ISO as an agency began with three comrades of war vowing their lives to end all wars and fight for peace. They called themselves the Gold Curtain. Now this is mainly discussed when referring to the timeline. The Gold Curtain was the time before Wyatt Bishop became the director of ISO. 

THE BLACK CURTAIN

The Black Curtain is known as the era in which Wyatt Bishop became the director of ISO. Wyatt’s reign over ISO has proven to be more effective than his predecessor’s, as ISO has never seen such growth in its agents nor expansion in its territory. ISO now effectively operates globally with three major operational HQs around the world. This is all because of Wyatt. It’s very common for people to refer to ISO as ‘The Black Curtain’ primarily. This tends to be a respectful nod toward Wyatt Bishop. 

THE GOLD HAND

The Gold Hand is the code name and ranked title given to the man most high in the agency; today that being Wyatt himself. When people, who most likely aren’t aware of his identity at all, refer to the top of the food chain, they refer to Wyatt, or rather the director, as The Gold Hand. The identity, appearance, and any other details surrounding Wyatt are shrouded completely in mystery until clearance levels above handler rank are given. From the handler rank down, most only know the mysterious director by the code name, The Gold Hand.

THE BOARD OF ISO

The board of directors, or board of ISO, consists of seven seats. The identity of each member is mostly surrounded in secret - even the bulk of the agency isn’t aware of them. It is known that there is a board, however, those who sit within it are completely unknown and left to speculation. It is the board’s responsibility to oversee the agency as a whole and vote on changes, hurdles expansion and profits. The answer only to The Gold Hand and it is their purpose to assist him in any way necessary for the betterment of ISO and its future.

THE RANKING SYSTEM OF AGENTS

The ranking system in the World of Bullets might seem complicated, but it is fairly simple. Those who sit on the board or assist the board members are considered GOLD rank. Beneath them are operational managers; directors of branches or special positions who carry out tasks completely alone. This rank is known as SILVER. It can also be given to those who oversee special facilities marked as agency domains. 

Below the rank of SILVER is BRONZE. This rank is given to members of the agency who are designated with special tasks such as director of branches, R&D, or pre-operational units and their leaders. Those who survey countries or act as messengers or ambassadors of the agency. 

Below the rank of BRONZE are the Directors of individual branches, then Operational Directors - those who oversee what operations become worthy of the agency. Below this is the rank of Handler. This rank is more or less a manager. They put together teams and oversee each team’s operation. They award points and document the oversight of each team. 

Below the rank of Handler is the essential operative role; staff of each facility and within the network; computer technicians, armory guards, and check-in staff. The title of Agent is not considered a rank per se, but if you were to consider it one, it would be directly below Handler as they only answer to that rank and above. Not employed staff. 

Each agent is also given a rank. They are as follows: Class S, being the highest, then followed by ( in order ) Class A, B, and D. The rank of agent signifies their placement on the board and their amount of points. Those who have accumulated more points obviously ascend in rank according to the Leaderboard. It is not a typical promotion; it's earned through points and operations cleared. 

DIVISIONS AND DEPARTMENTS

—Medical Staff—Research and Development—Weapons and Armory —Survey Corp.—Analytics —Logistics—C.I. Recon—Network & Profiling—Investigation and Internal Affairs—Identity Format and Development—Automobile Transport, Mechanics, and Acquisition—Instruction and Educational 

MISSION STATEMENT

It is ISO’s entire purpose to prevent wars across the globe before they have the opportunity to arise. This can be in the form of assassination, intel gathering, extraction, or infiltration. ISO will always — and has always — done whatever it takes to prevent war and encourage peace through deterrence operations.

On-Demand Comfort: Exploring Austin's Airport Transportation Service

Traveling to and from Austin, Texas, can be an exciting and enriching experience. Whether you're visiting the city's vibrant cultural scene or returning home after a long journey, one of the crucial aspects of your trip is airport transportation. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA) serves as the gateway to the city, and to enhance your travel experience, you can explore the convenience and comfort of on-demand Austin Airport transportation service. In this guide, we'll delve into the world of on-demand transportation options available in Austin, offering a hassle-free and comfortable way to navigate the city's airport.

Ridesharing Services

Ridesharing services have become synonymous with convenience and accessibility in the world of transportation. Austin fully embraces this trend with the presence of renowned ridesharing platforms, making it incredibly easy to secure a ride to or from ABIA.

Uber and Lyft, two of the most popular ridesharing services, have gained a strong foothold in Austin. They offer a user-friendly interface through smartphone apps, allowing passengers to request rides with just a few taps on their phones. The convenience of ridesharing services is further accentuated by the range of vehicle options they provide, accommodating solo travelers, couples, families, and even larger groups.

One of the standout features of ridesharing services is their flexibility. You can schedule a ride at your convenience, whether it's to catch an early morning flight or return late at night. However, it's essential to note that prices for ridesharing can fluctuate based on demand and traffic conditions. To avoid any surprises, you can check the app for fare estimates before confirming your ride.

Airport Shuttles

If you're looking for an affordable yet dependable transportation option, airport shuttle services in Austin have you covered. Multiple shuttle providers operate in the city, offering shared rides to and from ABIA. These shuttle services have garnered a reputation for their punctuality and cost-effectiveness.

Shuttle services usually have designated pickup locations at major hotels, transportation hubs, and strategic points across Austin. This makes it easy for passengers to book in advance and have a seat reserved for their desired departure time. To sweeten the deal, some shuttle providers offer discounts for round-trip bookings, making it an even more attractive option for travelers.

The predictability and shared nature of shuttle services make them an appealing choice for both solo travelers and groups. Whether you're in Austin for business or leisure, airport shuttle services offer a comfortable and affordable way to get around.

Taxis

Taxis have long been a fixture in airport transportation, and Austin is no exception. At ABIA, taxi stands are conveniently located, providing passengers with a hassle-free way to secure a taxi ride to their destination. Taxis offer the advantage of a dedicated and private transportation experience, perfect for those who prioritize a seamless transition from the airport.

However, it's worth noting that taxi fares in Austin can be higher compared to ridesharing and shuttle services. Fares are typically metered, and additional charges may apply for factors such as traffic delays and luggage handling. Despite the cost, taxis remain a trusted and convenient option for those who appreciate a personalized journey.

Public Transportation

Austin boasts a comprehensive public transportation system under the Capital Metro umbrella, encompassing buses and a light rail system. For budget-conscious travelers, the MetroAirport bus route (Route 20) is a cost-effective way to travel between ABIA and various parts of the city.

Public transportation is characterized by its affordability and accessibility. Solo travelers, in particular, can benefit from the lower fares. However, it's important to be aware that public transportation may not always be the fastest or most convenient option, especially during peak travel times. Passengers should also consider factors like luggage space and potential transfers when opting for public transportation.

Car Rentals

For travelers who prefer complete autonomy during their stay in Austin, car rentals are readily available at ABIA. Several reputable rental car companies operate on-site, offering a diverse selection of vehicles to cater to different preferences and budgets.

Renting a car provides the freedom to explore Austin and its surroundings at your own pace. It's an excellent choice for those planning to venture beyond the city limits. However, it's crucial to factor in additional costs such as parking fees, fuel expenses, and insurance when considering this option. Austin's traffic congestion can also be a concern, so travelers should weigh the convenience of having a private vehicle against potential expenses and traffic conditions.

Limousine Services

For those seeking a touch of luxury and style in their airport transportation experience, limousine services are available in Austin. Limousines offer spacious interiors, comfort, and an elegant mode of travel. They are particularly sought after for special occasions such as weddings, anniversaries, or corporate events.

While limousine services come at a premium price compared to other transportation options, they deliver a unique and memorable travel experience. Professional chauffeurs, top-notch amenities, and a high level of comfort make limousine travel an attractive choice for those who prioritize luxury and privacy.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Austin's airport transportation services offer an array of on-demand options that cater to diverse traveler needs and preferences. Ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft provide unmatched convenience and flexibility, while airport shuttle services offer reliability and affordability. Taxis provide dedicated and private transportation, public transportation offers budget-friendly fares, and car rentals deliver autonomy and exploration. Limousine services add a touch of sophistication and extravagance to your journey.

Choosing the best on-demand transportation service in Austin depends on several factors, including your budget, group size, desired comfort level, and specific destination within the city. Each mode of transportation has its unique advantages and considerations, so travelers should assess their priorities to make an informed choice.

A Licensed Real Estate Agent in London and the City’s Evolving Landscape

Widely known for its illustrious past, vibrant culture, and thriving economy, London continues to be one of the most sought-after cities when looking for an ideal location to call home in Ontario. As the city continues to grow in the heart of southwestern Canada, its real estate landscape has been experiencing a significant evolution. From new developments to shifting market trends, let us delve deep into the key factors from the unique perspective of a licensed real estate agent in London that are playing a pivotal role in shaping its property industry.

The population of London has been steadily increasing over the years, attracting both families and young professionals seeking a high quality of life. This continuous influx of residents has resulted in an unprecedented surge in housing demand, prompting the development of new residential communities and the revitalization of existing neighborhoods. The varied housing options in London range from heritage houses to present-day condominiums and cater to every market segment.

The city has witnessed a remarkable transformation in recent times through urban revitalization projects. London has focused on reclaiming underutilized spaces and repurposing them into vibrant, mixed-use developments. The city downtown, in particular, has experienced a renaissance with the restoration of heritage buildings and the creation of pedestrian-friendly zones, not to mention the thoughtful addition of trendy retail outlets, restaurants, entertainment venues, etc. These orchestrated efforts have breathed new life into the city center and significantly boosted its attractiveness as a perfect destination for real estate investors.

(TIP: Contact a residential real estate agent in London to find out more about the same.)

Environmental consciousness has become a paramount consideration in the Canadian property business and London is no exception either. The city has recently implemented numerous measures towards sustainability with real estate developers increasingly incorporating environment-friendly features and the latest building practices in their ongoing ventures. From energy-efficient designs to the application of renewable materials, sustainable building initiatives have garnered enough momentum, appealing to environmentally conscious homebuyers and property investors alike.

Mixed-use developments have now become a dominant trend in the real estate landscape in London. They embody residential, commercial, and recreational spaces, providing residents with a sense of convenience as well as community. With amenities such as shopping plazas, public parks, and entertainment facilities available right at their doorstep, the city residents can enjoy not only a balanced but also a seamlessly connected lifestyle these days. This paradigm shift towards mixed-use developments perfectly aligns with the growing preference for neighborhoods with dedicated walking tracks and reduces reliance on private vehicles.

History had substantiated countless times that technology could be a catalyst to impart a positive impact on various industries, including real estate. In London, technological advancements influence the way real estate companies market their properties, conduct transactions, and even manage those buildings. Online platforms as well as virtual tours allow potential buyers to explore properties remotely, whilst smart home technologies enhance comfort, security, and energy efficiency. These cutting-edge innovations have streamlined the real estate process, making it more convenient and increasingly accessible for buyers as well as sellers.

Investments in transportation infrastructure have also played a vital role in shaping the property landscape of London. Improved road networks, public transit systems, and active transportation systems have increased connectivity along with increasing accessibility throughout the city. As transportation becomes more efficient and equally convenient, it opens up new vistas for development whilst encouraging investment in previously underserved neighborhoods in and around London.
