APPLIED ECO-KNOWLEDGE

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is open sourcing applied eco-knowledge through Highest Good housing that is artistic and beautiful, more affordable, more space efficient, lasts longer, DIY buildable, and constructed with healthy and sustainable materials:

- - Learn about applied eco-knowledge: Our Upcoming Crowdfunding Campaign
  - Learn about the different applied eco-knowledge village models: 7 Sustainable Village Models
  - Visit the open source portals for the first two: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

This week the core team member managing the aircrete compression testing team organized materials for the aircrete team. The week’s schedule, general preparation, pre-experimentation and preliminary order list for materials was identified, they had their weekly meeting, and details were clarified regarding the HGN-related communication. The same team member also addressed several comments in the city center hub connector final document, revised some statics equations, added verbiage, started putting together the DIY option details, and verified text.

Luis Manuel Dominguez (Research Engineer) completed his 63rd week by wrapping up the research related to the City Center Eco-spa designs as an example of applied eco-knowledge and continuing his review of the Net-zero Bathroom calculations completed by Diwei. He verified the final touches of the City Center Spa design narrative for the website and validated the Net-Zero Bathroom calculations. Pictures below are related to this work.

Diwei Zhang (Mechanical Engineer) completed his 30th week of work, now focused on 3D modeling and analysis review for the Net-zero Bathroom component of the Earthbag Village. ‹â€¹This week Diwei wrote the narrative for the configuration of the various water tanks. The advantages and disadvantages of connecting tanks in series and in parallel were introduced. Two configurations of two and four tanks connected in parallel for the rooftop rainwater harvesting system were presented. Piping, valve, fitting, and valves were summarized. Different types of pressure tanks were also discussed. This is a proof of applied eco-knowledge. Pictures below show some of this work.

Ming Weng (MS Geography & Environmental Engineering) completed his 26th week helping with the Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing and Reuse of Non-recyclables research, report, and tutorial. This week, Ming did the similar tasks as the last week: seeking merchants selling WTE facilities at Alibaba. Maybe because of the lengthy inquiry message, not so many responses have been received from merchants. An adjustment should be made on the wording to make sure the contact step can be initiated. Engaging merchants feedback positively impacts applied eco-knowledge. Pictures below show some of this work-in-progress.

Jieying “Mercy” Cai (Sustainability and Climate Policy Researcher) completed her 6th week working on completing the Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing and Reuse of Non-recyclables research, report, and tutorial. This week Mercy reinitiated the research on addressing non-recyclables (e-waste, construction materials, waxed cardboard, etc). She recreated the comparison table according to the template and looked for recycling plants for e-waste and construction waste.

She also restructured the tutorials and removed irrelevant parts and references. She researched and wrote the e-waste section in the tutorial and researched recycling methods for construction materials. With research activities in place applied eco-knowledge is achievable cost-effectively. Adopting reuse of product is a practical achievement of applied eco-knowledge. See below for some pictures related to this work.

Philip Bogaerts (Structural Window Designer) completed his 5th week working on completing the Most Sustainable Windows and Doors research. This week Philip completed the spreadsheet of the door section and started organizing the windows section. He was also researching which door manufacturers are also manufacturing windows and came to the conclusion that the window manufacturers will probably be different from the door manufacturers. This, because those who do both, usually do not come out on top and therefore it seems companies who focus on doors or windows only are better choices. Focusing on markets products gives a clear path for applied eco-knowledge development. See below for some pictures of this work.

The Compression Team consisting of Genesis Avila (Engineering Intern Researcher), Joshua Jacob (Engineering Intern Researcher), and Fatima Duenas-Esparza (Engineering Intern Researcher) joined One Community and completed their 1st week helping with the Aircrete and earthbag compression testing. This week, the aircrete team set up the new mixer recommended by Aircrete Harry and created an excel sheet of materials on hand and an order list. The team looked into getting soft water and, out of the options available, decided to go with buying gallon jugs of distilled water. The team also worked on locating the air compressor and getting weekend access to the lab. Pictures below are related to this work.

APPLIED ECO-KNOWLEDGE

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is open sourcing applied eco-knowledge through a Duplicable and Sustainable City Center that is LEED Platinum certified/Sustainable, can feed 200 people at a time, provide laundry for over 300 people, is beautiful, spacious, and saves resources, money, and space:

- - Learn about building applied eco-knowledge and it’s function: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

This week the core team started creating the 3D SketchUp model for the City Center first floor dormer framing. We set up double level cripple studs, double sill plates for the window, king studs, trimmer studs, header, dormer corner post, dormer double rafter plates, and the dormer ridge and roof rafters. We also sized the window to 36” x 72”. The same team member also worked on updates for the Aircrete Engineering and Research webpage. She resolved comments by fixing formatting of paragraphs, adding 2px borders to the images, and checked the HTML code to remove code for ‘font-weight: 400″ formatting.

Venus Abdollahi (Architectural Designer) completed her 51st week helping finish the Duplicable City Center designs. This week Venus updated the interior design for room 12 and worked on detailing the new cupola roof. She exported the roof models from the SketchUp file to Revit for detailing, made a 3D model of the roofs on Revit, and requested the exact number of dimensions and height of the roofs in order to continue working on the detailing. See pictures below.

This week Daniela Andrea Parada (Civil Engineering Student) completed her 47th week, now focused mostly on the Duplicable City Center â€œUpdated City Center Project Specification and Design Basis” report. This week Daniela finished fixing all of the bullet points that were numbered incorrectly based on what she had noted previously. At times the formatting of the bullet points on the doc created other issues. After completing this, Daniela started working on the List of Tables.

She went through the report multiple times and labeled all of the tables and bookmarked them. After going through and including the tables she had previously missed, Daniela linked the bookmarks to the top of the report where the List of Tables is. She plans on going back and creating titles for all tables she found without one. Daniela then moved on to labeling the Figures in the report with the correct format. Pictures below are related to this work.

Jessica Santos (Architect) completed her 16th week working on the interior design for the Duplicable City Center rental rooms. This week Jessica did research for ideas of an abstract sunrise for the dome wall that could match with the colors and geometry proposed for the room. Then she created a couple options and tested on a 3D model. She also research ideas for texturized wallpapers and panels for the dome wall. See below for some pictures of this work.

Gabriela Vilela S. C. Diniz (Architect and Urban Planner) completed her 16th week working on the interior design for the Duplicable City Center rental rooms. This week, Gabriela finished her work on her first room, the Fairy Garden themed one. She sent all her files for final review and started her second room with the theme “Red Carpet/Oscar”. She did research and started with two options for the layout, working on the 3D. Pictures below are related to this work.

Charles Gooley (Web Designer) completed his 6th week working on the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering webpage and the City Center Eco-spa and Natural Pool page. Charles continued working on the Duplicable City Center Natural Pool and Spa page and completed migrating content from the Google Doc to the web page. He then started working on the Table of Contents and will continue next week. Charles also addressed reviewer comments on his previous page, the City Center Hub Connector page. Paying attention to reviews or feedback is a method of realizing applied eco-knowledge. See below for some pictures of this work.

Julia Meaney (Researcher and Personal Assistant to Jae) completed her 7th week. This week, Julia began with finishing off her reviewing of the Feedback PDF for the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering webpage and added, addressed, and resolved comments. She also continued to check this Webpage against the Website Review Checklist. Julia then reviewed and edited the content of the “Flexible Pavement Design” section on the “Roadways, Walkways, Gutters, and Parking Lot Report/Tutorial” Google Doc.

She added comments with questions, clarifications and more complex suggested edits as needed. When she completed this task, Julia moved on to begin work on the “BEST DOORS” tab of the “Sustainable Window and Door Research” Spreadsheet. She went through this sheet and resolved comments of suggested fixes that had been correctly addressed and also added comments with her own suggestions for improved formatting. Below are some images related to this work.

APPLIED ECO-KNOWLEDGE

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is open sourcing applied eco-knowledge through Highest Good food that is more diverse, more nutritious, locally grown and sustainable, and part of our open source botanical garden model to support and share bio-diversity:

- - Learn about the applied eco-knowledge structures: Hoop House Hub | Aquapini & Walipini Open Source Hub
  - See what we’ll be growing: Gardens & Hoop Houses | Large-scale Structures | Food Forest | TA

This week the core team continued detailed review and feedback on the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan. We continued to look for ways to reduce salt content, highlighted finished and approved recipes in green, and differentiated Tbsp and tsp throughout the now 400+ page document. Applied eco-knowledge is essential in dietary development.

Marilyn Nzegwu (Chef and Culinary Consultant) completed her 25th week helping with the completion of the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan and related menu and meal plans. This week Marilyn started by correcting recipes based on comments, suggestions and new developments to the menu blocks, which included adjusting recipes or finding replacements for others. After finding that most sardine recipes she created used fresh sardines, she researched canned sardine recipes for future menus. After concluding on adjustments, Marilyn continued to add recipes to the Second Week menu blocks. Adopting other recipes is a show of applied eco-knowledge. The pictures below relate to this work.

APPLIED ECO-KNOWLEDGE

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is open sourcing applied eco-knowledge through Highest Good education that is for all ages, applicable in any environment, adaptable to individual needs, far exceeds traditional education standards, and more fun for both the teachers and the students. This component of One Community is about 95% complete with only the Open Source School Licensing and Ultimate Classroom construction and assembly details remaining to be finished. We’ll report on the final two elements to be finished as we develop them.

With over 8 years of work invested in the applied eco-knowledge process, the sections below are all complete until we move onto the property and continue the development and open sourcing process with teachers and students – a development process that is built directly into the structure of the education program and everything else we’re creating too:

Applied Eco-knowledge Program Overview: Education Open Source Hub
How the applied eco-knowledge components work together: How to use the Education for Life Program
Lesson Plans for Life – Lesson Plans How-to
Foundations of Outstanding Leaders, Teachers, and Communicators
Curriculum for Life
Teaching Strategies for Life
Learning Tools and Toys for Life
Evaluation and Evolution

Highest Good education, open source education, progressive education, One Community education, forward-thinking education, learning skills

APPLIED ECO-KNOWLEDGE

HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is open sourcing applied eco-knowledge through a Highest Good society approach to living that is founded on fulfilled living, the study of meeting human needs, Community, and making a difference in the world:

- - Read the Highest Good society applied eco-knowledge overview: Highest Good Society
  - Learn about the model for fulfilled living and sharing: A Day in the Life
  - Learn about the 4 economic models: RBE | For-profit | Non-profit | Entrepreneurship
  - Learn about our open source community collaboration and management software: The Highest Good Network

This week the core team completed 22 hours managing One Community volunteer-work review not included above, emails, social media accounts, web development, Highest Good Network software checkins and review, and interviewing and getting set up new volunteer team members. Pictures below show some of this.

The core team also completed about 7 more hours of reviewing, giving feedback, and creating and providing voiceover audio, imagery and video for the new overview video (and other videos) Arthur is developing. The pictures below show some of this work.

Yiyun Tan (Management Dashboard Team Leader) completed her 27th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Yiyun put most of her time into supporting others on Slack. She helped with a problem where new members cannot login or create accounts, figuring out the problem and created a PR to resolve it. She also started looking into Eiki’s remaining PR. Pictures of some of this work are below.

Vera Timokhina (Software Engineer) completed her 16th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Vera worked on fixing a bug where project names are not always displayed in the pie charts on the people report page. She wrote a solution, but didn’t get a chance to test it because the application started crashing with a database error.

This error is not related to the solution and it crashes even on the development branch. So now Vera is trying to find the cause of this error. She also spent time investigating a bug related to displaying tangible time by categories on people’s profile page. Processes also encounters challenges and therefore, applied eco-knowledge must be given much attention to minimize errors. See pictures below for some of this work.

Yan Xu (Software Development Engineer) completed her 14th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. Yan pushed her PR for adding the email reminder for the final Day. This PR enables the app to send an email from our gmail to our Admin’s gmail after the last day they set passes. She also fixed the timezone problem for the final day. In the past, the endDate was converted to UTC timezone in the backend, but now it’s changed to use local time (where a person’s machine is located). Applied eco-knowledge is time bound to achieving the set goals. See pictures below for some of this work.

Arthur Olifant (Videographer) completed his 11th week helping with updating all our homepage videos. This week, Arthur worked on finalizing the all 5 main videos and the Highest good videos. He exported the final versions of the 5 main videos, delivered three versions of the Main-Page video, and almost finished the Highest Good education video. See pictures below that are related to this work.

Kaung Htet Myat (Software Engineer) completed his 6th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Kaung continued working with the bug for the Tasks and Timelogs component. With Jae’s help, Kaung was able to spot that he forgot a simple calculation from his last PR. He worked on the simple change and was able to fix the problem. He also made sure that the “Week before last” component is working.

Then he published the PR and the new changes were pushed to the “development” branch as well as the beta app. Kaung also reviewed and approved Yiyun’s PR which is a fix on his previous component to make sure that the current user is shown above if there are tasks assigned. Kaung also wrote a function to change the default tab on Tasks and Timelogs based on the current user’s role in the app. See pictures below for some of this work.

Bruce Lin (Software Engineer) completed his 4th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Bruce confirmed from Yiyun that using a web crawler to get all the images from the website is a feasible way and the right direction to go. He took some time to learn how to build this web crawler. In addition, Bruce found out that to get the user’s names, regular expression is needed and he will dive deeper. Pictures below relate to this work.

Hani Khellafi (Software Developer) completed his 3rd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Hani recloned and set up his HGN rest and HGN react App to fix the task board issue. He also worked on fixing the “Mark as read button dismisses the red bell sign only” and the “log/edit/delete timeEntry actions need refreshing the page.” During the process of fixing these bugs, he encountered the same issue regarding the missing current week timeEntries on his local App. Pictures below relate to this work.

Kevin Shields (Software Engineer) joined the team and completed his 1st week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Kevin got the frontend and backend fully setup, created some test accounts, ran into crash issues with non-admin accounts without projects, and reported the crash to Slack. He then looked into the HGN github to understand more about how the PR reviews work in this system, signed up for two bugs on the ‘HGN Phase I Bugs and Needed Functionalities’ page, and began working on the badge deletion issues.

Kevin primarily focused on these issues this week while learning the frontend system. Kevin is pretty certain he’s narrowed down the issue to a couple of possibilities because the data is actually getting deleted, so it’s most likely an issue with stale data that the UI is using. Pictures below relate to this work.

Guilherme Wustro (Front End Developer) joined the team too and completed his 1st week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Guilherme set up the React App locally and also the APNRest to do some tests. He also installed redis, nvm (node version manager), and read some documentation about the project. He learned about the HGN Permissions System and cloned the previous designer’s branch ‘Miguel-PermissionsDashboard’.

After this, Guilherme created a modal with a form that, when the submit button is clicked, returns an object with an array of the permissions selected and the name of the role. This functionally is working just in the Front-end but still needs to connect with the back-end, to create the reducers/actions. Pictures below relate to this work.

Aashish Thapa Magar (Full Stack Software Developer) also joined the team and completed his 1st week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Aashish went through the orientation and initial setup processes, documentation, and reviewed the front and backend codes to get a proper picture of the overall structure or architecture of the web app. He then began working on bugs with the badges system, focusing first on bugs related to the badge counts. Applied eco-knowledge must be identifiable thus badges are necessary. Pictures below relate to this work.

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is demonstrating cooperative systems design through Highest Good housing that is artistic and beautiful, more affordable, more space efficient, lasts longer, DIY buildable, and constructed with healthy and sustainable materials:

- - Learn about cooperative systems design: Our Upcoming Crowdfunding Campaign
  - Learn about the different cooperative systems design village models: 7 Sustainable Village Models
  - Visit the open source portals for the first two: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

This week the core team continued creating the Aircrete Engineering and Research: Compression Testing, Mix Ratios, R-value, and More page. We used team member comments after website review to correct formatting of headings, placement of missing links and anchors, aligning/formatting text and headings, reformatting the Frequently Answered Questions section, and adding a 2px black border to the images. Teamwork is essential in building effective cooperative systems design. See the pictures below.

The core team member managing the aircrete compression testing team made sure onboarding was done properly and completely and made a detailed list of assignments for the week. They also reviewed the City Center Hub Connector work and double checked equations and other information that needed clarity for easier understanding by the general public how cooperative systems design works.

Luis Manuel Dominguez (Research Engineer) completed his 62nd week helping with research related to the City Center Eco-spa designs and moved on to reviewing the Net-zero Bathroom calculations completed by Diwei. The design narrative was finalized for the Spa with the completion of the chemical automation research with regards to chlorine and bromine applications. Luis was then able to begin validating rain collection projections and drain flow rates for the Net-zero Bathroom. He will continue to expand his role across other projects in the coming weeks to continue supporting teams throughout the organization. This is sustainably supports cooperative systems design. Pictures below are related to this work.

Diwei Zhang (Mechanical Engineer) completed his 29th week of work, now focused on 3D modeling and analysis review for the Net-zero Bathroom component of the Earthbag Village. ‹â€¹This week Diwei summarized the design of storage containers for the rooftop rainwater harvesting system. Principles of design to reduce contamination of biofilm and settled debris were discussed. He introduced different types of containers and showed the pros and cons of each. Components outfitting the tank, such as inlets, outlets, overflow outlets, air vents, and manway were presented in detail with 3D model renders. Operating based on principles enhances cooperative systems design. Pictures below show some of this work.

Ming Weng (MS Geography & Environmental Engineering) completed his 25th week helping with the Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing and Reuse of Non-recyclables research, report, and tutorial. This week Ming did further research into merchants selling waste to energy facilities on Alibaba too. A quick plan was made to improve efficiency of communication. Lots of filters were made to make sure products offered by merchants are relevant to our goal, then the majority of Ming’s time was spent reading their product details.

The second time-consuming task is reaching out to merchants, especially since the time zones are different from Ming’s. They respond in their mornings, but that’s his midnight. Collaboration with Top partners in the field is a key foundation of cooperative systems design. Pictures below show some of this work-in-progress.

Jieying “Mercy” Cai (Sustainability and Climate Policy Researcher) completed her 5th week working on completing the Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing and Reuse of Non-recyclables research, report, and tutorial. This week Mercy started looking for incinerators and other waste-to-energy plants for different sizes of communities on Alibaba.com. She tried to include plants for all the options mentioned in the tutorial. She recorded her research results in a spreadsheet and submitted it for feedback, to achieve better cooperative systems design. See below for some pictures related to this work.

Philip Bogaerts (Structural Window Designer) completed his 4th week working on completing the Most Sustainable Windows and Doors research. This week Philip worked on the spreadsheet, finalizing the draft of the door section as well as rethinking the scoring criteria. He also worked a bit more on the informative document, specifically on the section of the doors and which one should be top of the list and for what reason. Cooperative systems design is research dependent for successful implementation. See below for some pictures of this work.

COOPERATIVE SYSTEMS DESIGN

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is demonstrating cooperative systems design through a Duplicable and Sustainable City Center that is LEED Platinum certified/Sustainable, can feed 200 people at a time, provide laundry for over 300 people, is beautiful, spacious, and saves resources, money, and space:

- - Learn about cooperative systems design building and it’s function: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

This week, Venus Abdollahi (Architectural Designer) completed her 50th week helping finish the Duplicable City Center designs. This week, Venus updated windows on the south, west, east, and north elevation, updated the vehicle entry, column location, and server counter to finish section C_C. She then uploaded the master file for her supervisor to provide their final review. Better reviews and inputs from various people leads to better cooperative systems design. See pictures below.

This week Daniela Andrea Parada (Civil Engineering Student) completed her 46th week helping with the Sustainable Roadways, Walkways, and Landscaping tutorial development and moved on to the Duplicable City Center. Updated City Center Project Specification and Design Basis report. This week Daniela was able to complete her corrections to the Flexible Pavement Design section. She searched for the document she had used to write the section in order to figure out what she was originally trying to say.

Once making the necessary additions to the narrative Daniela closed out her work for the Flexible Pavement Design section until she receives further feedback on it, to ensure she implements a better cooperative systems design. Daniela then added another resource for this section and uploaded them all to the DropBox. With this completed, Daniela moved on to the next action item on her list: working on the Updated City Center Project Specification and Design Basis report.

As she had made corrections prior, Daniela had to figure out where she had left off and what more needed to be added. Once she did this, she worked on editing formatting issues she had found due to the report changing from horizontal to vertical page formatting. Daniela added this formatting to new material and ensured that it refreshed in the Table of Contents. Lastly, she left some comments for herself and started editing a section of numbered bullets that were not matching the other bullets. Pictures below are related to this work.

Yuxi Lu (Architectural Designer) completed her 46th week working on the Duplicable City Center architectural review and updates related to the structural code. This week Yuxi added the gutter to the surrounding roof edges, they make a big impact on building appearance. They were added to horizontal edges of the central area mainly, assuming other horizontal pieces are embedded with the larger roof. The greenhouse and barn made by the team was also added into the main model. Working on a specific model is a proof of cooperative systems design. Pictures of some of this work are below.

Jessica Santos (Architect) completed her 15th week working on the interior design for the Duplicable City Center rental rooms. This week, Jessica worked on the 3D model, adding more details to the design. She changed the armchair for a fuzzy bean bag to bring a more fun look to the room, researched appropriate sculptures, and textured the wall with abstract painting ideas. She created a pattern of painting and wallpaper for the dome wall, added carpet, switched the couch for couch-bed, and is still researching decorations for the walls to achieve a perfect cooperative systems design. See below for some pictures of this work.

Charles Gooley (Web Designer) completed his 5th week working on completing the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering webpage and now working on the City Center Eco-spa and Natural Pool page too. This week, Charles continued working on the Duplicable City Center Natural Pool and Spa page. He was directed to keep the current content and update from the corresponding Google Doc. He replaced the two images with the word therapeutic misspelled, completed addition of the sections through Control Panel to Pumps and plumbing, and spent a bunch of time resizing and inserting images, many of which had links to images with larger sizes. Time is essential in developing cooperative systems design. See below for some pictures of this work.

Julia Meaney (Researcher and Personal Assistant to Jae) completed her 5th week. This week, Julia worked on editing the content of the “Geodesic Dome/Duplicable City Center Hub Prototype A Final Report” Google Doc and updating the corresponding webpage with her edits. Throughout this process, she worked collaboratively through the comments with researchers answering her questions and helping with clarifications.

Julia has reached the final stages of editing and reviewing this corresponding webpage, “City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering“, and began going through the Web Page Reviewing Checklist. Julia also worked on the final review of the “Addressing Non-recyclables” development Doc. She has made minor spelling and grammar edits while adding comments as needed. Cooperative systems design realization relies largely on feedback from researchers. Below are some images related to this work.

COOPERATIVE SYSTEMS DESIGN

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is demonstrating cooperative systems design through Highest Good food that is more diverse, more nutritious, locally grown and sustainable, and part of our open source botanical garden model to support and share bio-diversity:

- - Learn about the cooperative systems design structures: Hoop House Hub | Aquapini & Walipini Open Source Hub
  - See what cooperative systems design we’ll be growing: Gardens & Hoop Houses | Large-scale Structures | Food Forest | TA

This week the core team continued detailed review and feedback on the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan. This week we engaged in a phone call with Marilyn regarding all comments pertaining to her work through page 160 on the 3-Day Menu Block doc. We then went back through the doc from page 160 to the beginning and changed all the small case letters in the recipe names to large case, resolving/addressing addition/new comments as we did. Pictures below relate to this.

The core team also updated/converted and standardized all the measurements to match the Master List for the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan. Pictures below show some of this.

Marilyn Nzegwu (Chef and Culinary Consultant) completed her 24th week helping with the completion of the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan and related menu and meal plans. This week Marilyn took the week to make corrections based on suggestions and comments to recipes she’d previously made. She also went ahead to split recipes that had double complex protein recipes on all Fresh Week menu blocks and a few Second Week menu blocks. As part of this process, she saved unused recipes to be added to future menu blocks. The pictures below relate to this work.

One Community is demonstrating cooperative systems design through a Highest Good society approach to living that is founded on fulfilled living, the study of meeting human needs, Community, and making a difference in the world:

- - Read the Highest Good society cooperative systems design overview: Highest Good Society
  - Learn about the cooperative systems design and model for fulfilled living and sharing: A Day in the Life
  - Learn about the 4 economic models: RBE | For-profit | Non-profit | Entrepreneurship
  - Learn about our open source community collaboration and management software: The Highest Good Network

Yiyun Tan (Management Dashboard Team Leader) completed her 26th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Yiyun spent most of her time on enabling ESLint for the frontend repo, she also applied the changes of the “actions” directory based on the ESLint rules and created a PR for this feature, a really large change. Yiyun also dug into Prettier usage so she can configure Prettier in the next week or so. Pictures of some of this work are below.

Yan Xu (Software Development Engineer) completed her 13th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. Yan wrote the email sender for the final day function this week and tested it. This function enables the app to send off an email from the app gmail to the app Owner. The Gmail account could not be sent to others without authorization due to safety.

Therefore, our team members use OAuth 2.0 to provide specific authorization flows for web applications. The authorization process needs some credentials and passwords, such as the password of our Gmail, refresh token, and client ID. She didn’t have these credentials so she tested it using OAuth 2.0 to authorize her own Gmail account. It worked well and she submitted final questions to her supervisor. See pictures below for some of this work.

Arthur Olifant (Videographer) completed his 10th week helping with updating all our homepage videos. This week, Arthur worked on updating all of the following videos: Duplicable City Center, Why Now Video, Highest Good Society, Highest Good Food, Overview Video, What Is It Video, Global Strategy, Get Involved. He also worked on the main page video, integrating the video we shot from the week before. See pictures below that are related to this work.

Kaung Htet Myat (Software Engineer) completed his 5th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Kaung started off working on the dashboard bug. While he was working on the final change of the team member tasks and timelog bug, he noticed that the HGN beta application does not work correctly. On the beta version, when the current user clicks on “week before last”, the application crashes. Moreover, the current week timelog is also showing a different timelog. So Kaung reported the bug and started working on fixing the it.

Kaung first tried the application on his branch and everything seems to work fine. So he switched the branch to the development branch and compared the codes. Not finding any differences in the components, he ran the development branch and everything works on the development branch too. When he was scanning the codes, he spotted a tiny error but it does not seem to be related to the bug. Kaung is still working on finding the error. Meanwhile, Kaung was able to switch the current tab to tasks by default, but still needs to work on making tab 2 default if there aren’t any tasks assigned. See pictures below for some of this work.

Bruce Lin (Software Engineer) completed his 3rd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Bruce chose a bug on the bug list but later found out that the bug was somehow fixed by itself and chose another one to work on. Bruce chose the one that requires a cron job to scan all the images from the website. Right now Bruce is still seeking a way to get all the images from the website. Pictures below relate to this work.

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS ON CREATING AN ABUNDANT WORLD

CREATING AN ABUNDANT WORLD

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is creating an abundant world through Highest Good housing that is artistic and beautiful, more affordable, more space efficient, lasts longer, DIY buildable, and constructed with healthy and sustainable materials:

- - Learn about creating an abundant world: Our Upcoming Crowdfunding Campaign
  - Learn about the different village models creating an abundant world: 7 Sustainable Village Models
  - Visit the open source portals for the first two creating an abundant world: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

This week the core team continued creating the Aircrete Engineering and Research: Compression Testing, Mix Ratios, R-value, and More page. We completed a detailed review of the finished first draft of the page.

Then another core team continued updating the aircrete webpage based on that feedback. She updated formatting of the headings, converted heading titles to all caps, inserted an extra line before each heading title, added missing anchors, and recreated data tables in a spreadsheet and generated images of it to be placed on the site (instead of building the table there) so it will scale properly on phones and other devices. This is important in creating an abundant world. See the pictures below.

The core team member managing the aircrete compression testing team created a task list for the new aircrete team. The tasks were broken down by week and addressed important questions around sustainable building materials for creating an abundant world. We also helped with the onboarding process of the new aircrete team, responded to comments on hub connector document, and made plans to address some with the input of a mechanical engineer. See the picture below.

This week Daniela Andrea Parada (Civil Engineering Student) completed her 45th week helping with the Sustainable Roadways, Walkways, and Landscaping tutorial development. This week Daniela continued to focus on making correction and addition to the Flexible Pavement Design section. These designs are important in creating an abundant world for all. As Daniela had previously bolded any phrases that needed changing or more explanation, she had also left all the bolded section she knew would take longer to complete.

Therefore Daniela focused on those bolded areas this week, researching more information or referring back to previous resources in order to better explain the narrative. She also added a term to the glossary in addition to downloading all the resources that had been used and incorporating them/linking them to the resources section of the Roadways Report. Creating links and networks is essential in creating an abundant world. Pictures below are related to this work.

Diwei Zhang (Mechanical Engineer) completed his 28th week of work, now focused on 3D modeling and analysis review for the Net-zero Bathroom component of the Earthbag Village. ‹â€¹Diwei summarized the main components of collection and pre-filtration in the rainwater harvesting system this week. Members of collection and pre-filtration include roof, gutters and downspouts, and pre-filtration. Guidelines for the selection of roof material for potable and non-potable water were introduced for creating an abundant world. Sizing gutters and downspouts, and different styles of pre-filtration were discussed. Pictures below show some of this work.

Ming Weng (MS Geography & Environmental Engineering) completed his 24th week helping with the Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing and Reuse of Non-recyclables research, report, and tutorial. This week, Ming completed communication with all the merchants he’d found in Alibaba, or introduced by previous merchants via sharing name card. After filtering information, results have been organized and he’s come to the conclusion that WTE solutions via incineration are not for small-scale applications.

A minimum amount of 220 tons per month of waste seems to be what is needed. Merchants manufacturing incinerators have suggested use of small but non-WTE products, so a new approach has to be figured out. The next focus is research on outputs of smaller incinerators to explore ways to sustainably use them. Strengthening networks with multinational merchants is a solution to creating an abundant world. Pictures below show some of this work-in-progress.

Jieying “Mercy” Cai (Sustainability and Climate Policy Researcher) completed her 4th week working on completing the Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing and Reuse of Non-recyclables research, report, and tutorial. This week Mercy finished the tutorial as planned. She researched and wrote the “Examples of countries with sustainable programs in place”, “Conclusion”, and “FAQs” sections. She also reviewed previous research and edited and rewrote the “Cost analysis examples” and “Upcoming challenges to WTE and how to get prepared” sections. Mercy then finished formatting the references list and saved copies of articles to her DropBox. Promoting re-use and recycling in communities is the way to creating an abundant world. See below for some pictures related to this work.

CREATING AN ABUNDANT WORLD

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is creating an abundant world through a Duplicable and Sustainable City Center that is LEED Platinum certified/Sustainable, can feed 200 people at a time, provide laundry for over 300 people, is beautiful, spacious, and saves resources, money, and space:

- - Learn about this building and it’s function: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

This week Luis Manuel Dominguez (Research Engineer) completed his 61st week helping with research related to the City Center Eco-spa designs. This week Luis focused on the final touches for the narrative and concluded the research on chemical automation. There were a few loose ends to be wrapped up and now he’ll work with the website team to make adjustments on the information if needed for publication when creating an abundant world. Pictures below are related to this work.

Huiya Yang (Volunteer Architectural Designer) completed her 50th week working on the Duplicable City Center architectural review and updates related to the structural code. This week Huiya finished updating the herb garden model. She accomplished the work of remodeling the edible flower’s gardens around the leaf garden to make sure it perfectly connects to the edge of the leaf garden and also modified the Plant Tag frame to match the new roads. Creating harmony in surrounding through designs is revolutionary in creating an abundant world. Pictures of some of this work are below.

Venus Abdollahi (Architectural Designer) completed her 49th week helping finish the Duplicable City Center designs, and key parameter in creating an abundant world. This week, Venus updated the vehicle entry, column location, and server counter. She updated windows on the south, west, east, and north elevation and added other structural details according to the updated plans. She will send the master file to her supervisor for review this week, but still needs to work on section C_C. See pictures below.

Yuxi Lu (Architectural Designer) completed her 45th week working on the Duplicable City Center architectural review and updates related to the structural code. This week Yuxi assisted on window discussion and communication. Creating an abundant world largely depends on such reviews and updates. The window made was test fit into the current model verifying its frame fit. The Greywater greenhouse pond was also further improved based on feedback.

Instead of pumping water up to an elevation to create the cascading water effect, the pond now starts at ground level and we use gravity to create the same effect, which is more sustainable when creating an abundant world. A curb around the pond was added for water retainment and decorative purposes too. Pictures of some of this work are below.

Gabriela Vilela S. C. Diniz (Architect and Urban Planner) completed her 15th week working on the interior design for the Duplicable City Center rental rooms. This week, Gabriela finished the bathroom of the room she’s been working on. She added more details at the Cost Analysis table, finished the second final render and started a third (that need adjustments that she will be working on her next week). Giving consideration to cost-analysis positively the process of creating an abundant world. Gabriela also finished the bathroom presentation and also did a layout for the wall finishes installation. Pictures below are related to this work.

Jessica Santos (Architect) completed her 14th week working on the interior design for the Duplicable City Center rental rooms. This week Jessica inserted the window on the 3D model and did more research on references, to find furniture and new elements. She tried different models of chairs, lamps, beds, dressers and wardrobes, mixing them together to find a good visual result. The theme is Sunrise dream and she is working with sunset sky colors. The color palette is pink, blue, purple and golden for the metals. Elements like clouds, birds and abstract paintings will be essential in creating an abundant world. See below for some pictures of this work.

Charles Gooley (Web Designer) completed his 4th week working on completing the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering webpage and now working on the City Center Eco-spa and Natural Pool page too. Charles continued working on PDF comments/feedback for the Hub Connector page. He had a meeting with Jae to discuss issues with the page and made notes of the issues Jae brought up and spent a few hours resolving them. He moved text that was too long in captions, uploaded larger images and linked them to the corresponding smaller images, and corrected heading sizes, spacing, & capitalization.

He also updated alt tags to contain more keywords and shortened the title tags and captions for images. Charles then started working on the Duplicable City Center Natural Pool and Spa page. He was directed to keep the current content and update from the corresponding Google Doc. Charles noted that the introduction was unchanged and that there were new sections starting with ECO-SPA Layout. He completed the sections through Control Panel to Pumps. He also noted that two of the images had the word therapeutic misspelled and that they needed to be corrected. See below for some pictures of this work.

Amanda Costa e Silva (Architectural Designer) also joined the team and completed her 1st week working on the dormer window designs for the Duplicable City Center rental rooms. This week she completed her onboarding process, evaluated the designs in SketchUp 3D and realized the complexity may be beyond her abilities, then spent the rest of the week researching to confirm the code specifics we need to comply with were correct. Pictures below are related to this work.

CREATING AN ABUNDANT WORLD

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is creating an abundant world through Highest Good food that is more diverse, more nutritious, locally grown and sustainable, and part of our open source botanical garden model to support and share bio-diversity:

- - Learn about Â creating an abundant world structures: Hoop House Hub | Aquapini & Walipini Open Source Hub
  - See what we’ll be growing: Gardens & Hoop Houses | Large-scale Structures | Food Forest | TA

This week the core team continued detailed review and feedback on the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan. This week we focused on addressing limited ingredients of recipes, balancing out ingredients with instructions where they were not mentioned in both, and asking for clarity when the omnivore and vegan recipes overlapped. Pictures below relate to this.

The core team also finished our part of the 3D SketchUp model for the animal area and greywater system area. We researched the amount of required water related to the size of water tower and then created the water tower in SketchUp with a maintenance access door in the base of it and the One Community logo on the upper part of the water tower. The team has agreed to remove this logo, but it was fun to see it in the renders.

Marilyn Nzegwu (Chef and Culinary Consultant) completed her 23rd week helping with the completion of the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan and related menu and meal plans. This week Marilyn continued to produce more recipes for the Second Week Menu Block, specifically Second Week G menu block. She rescaled some recipes to adjust the proteins in already created recipes. Marilyn also adjusted old recipes on menu blocks according to comments and suggestions. She is in the process of readjusting recipes with complicated V/O proteins and expects to finish the Second Week menu blocks next week. The pictures below relate to this work.

Julia Meaney (Researcher and Personal Assistant to Jae) completed her 4th week. This week, Julia worked on the “Master Recipe and 3-Day Menu Blocks” Google Doc and added “(V&O)” to necessary recipe ingredients in order to allow for more accurate calculations using the Master Recipe spreadsheet. While doing this, she updated the Master Recipe Spreadsheet with new ingredients and reviewed recipes on the Doc.

Julia also checked through the web design feedback Dropbox PDF for the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering webpage and ensured feedback was appropriately integrated. She then went through the corresponding Google Doc and the webpage, making corrections for grammar and spelling mistakes and restructuring content for clearer communication to the reader. Julia updated the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering webpage with her edits and corrected minor coding issues when necessary. Below are some images related to this work.

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is creating an abundant world through Highest Good education that is for all ages, applicable in any environment, adaptable to individual needs, far exceeds traditional education standards, and more fun for both the teachers and the students. This component of One Community is about 95% complete with only the Open Source School Licensing and Ultimate Classroom construction and assembly details remaining to be finished. We’ll report on the final two elements to be finished as we develop them.

With over 8 years of work invested in the process, the sections below are all complete until we move onto the property and continue the development and open sourcing process with teachers and students – a development process that is built directly into the structure of the education program and everything else we’re creating too:

Program Overview: Education Open Source Hub
How the components work together: How to use the Education for Life Program
Lesson Plans for Life – Lesson Plans How-to
Foundations of Outstanding Leaders, Teachers, and Communicators
Curriculum for Life
Teaching Strategies for Life
Learning Tools and Toys for Life
Evaluation and Evolution

CREATING AN ADUNDANT WORLD

HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is creating an abundant world through a Highest Good society approach to living that is founded on fulfilled living, the study of meeting human needs, Community, and making a difference in the world:

- - Read the Highest Good society overview: Highest Good Society
  - Learn about the model for fulfilled living and sharing: A Day in the Life
  - Learn about the 4 economic models: RBE | For-profit | Non-profit | Entrepreneurship
  - Learn about our open source community collaboration and management software: The Highest Good Network

This week the core team completed 21 hours managing One Community volunteer-work review not included above, emails, social media accounts, web development, Highest Good Network software checkins and review, and interviewing and getting set up new volunteer team members. Pictures below show some of this.

The core team also completed several more rounds of reviewing and giving feedback on the new overview homepage videos Arthur is developing about creating an abundant world. See the pictures below.

And core team team leader Jae also went to the San Gabriel river with Arthur and shot new video for updating the main intro/overview video on our homepage. Pictures below are from this shoot and giving feedback on which clips we should use vs. not use when creating an abundant world models.

Chris Weilacker (Senior Software Engineer) completed his 40th week of formal contribution to the Highest Good Network software. Chris helped with a diversity of ongoing support for the team answering questions and helping with various emergency bugs. Diversification is the road to creating an abundant world. Pictures below are related to this work.

Yiyun Tan (Management Dashboard Team Leader) completed her 25th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Yiyun put most of her time into enabling Eslint for the frontend repo. She read the Eslint documentation and added a couple rules in the Eslint configure file and finished the changes to the files in the “component” folder. Creating an abundant world needs rules for the whole revolution. Pictures of some of this work are below.

Yan Xu (Software Development Engineer) completed her 12th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Yan wrote the email sender function for when a person reaches their final day. She wrote the draft code and tested the code by reference PR 146, but it did not work. She asked for help from another team member and is waiting for an answer. Generally, creating an abundant world needs teamwork and input from other partners. See pictures below for some of this work.

Arthur Olifant (Videographer) completed his 9th week helping with updating all our homepage videos. This week, Arthur went to the San Gabriel River to shoot the content with Jae for a new intro video on the homepage. He then worked on syncing and selecting the best shots for Jae to choose, as well as starting to build the sound bites. He also worked on delivering and updating the Highest Good food video version 1 and fixing the other videos based on Jae’s feedback. Creating podcasts from video shots gives a clear picture of creating an abundant world. See pictures below for some of this developing work.

Kaung Htet Myat (Software Engineer) completed his 4th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Kaung made sure that the tasks that make a user move to the top of the user list were ones contained in the WBS. He also created functionality to sort the users in alphabetical order. The current user will still stay shown on top of the list when there is a task assigned to the user too. He then started studying code to work on his previous bug, “Dashboard â Click dot by person’s name in the Leaderboard”. Creating an abundant world require databases are well visualized in dashboards.See pictures below for some of this work.

Bruce Lin (Software Engineer) completed his 2nd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Bruce finished all the needed concepts and syntax for React, Redux and JavaScript. He then started to work on a bug that’s related to a the time log modal that automatically pops up when the page sits open for an hour or so. However, Bruce looked into the issue but had no luck on how to solve the issue. He contacted some of his team members for some advice and will continue next week. Pictures below relate to this work.

Jin Hua (Web Marketer and Graphic Designer) also helped us with integrating Google’s new Analytics 4. The pictures below are related to this and the process is still ongoing .

BUILDING ECO-SYSTEMIC PERMANENCE

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is building eco-systemic permanence through Highest Good housing that is artistic and beautiful, more affordable, more space efficient, lasts longer, DIY buildable, and constructed with healthy and sustainable materials:

- - Learn about building eco-systemic permanence: Our Upcoming Crowdfunding Campaign
  - Learn about the different village models: 7 Sustainable Village Models
  - Visit the open source portals for the first two: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

This week the core team continued creating and the Aircrete Engineering and Research: Compression Testing, Mix Ratios, R-value, and More page. We added missing links to the Foam Tutorial video, updated the text font to default (Georgian) font for six pages of previously entered text, and added text with images. We also added the graphs and external links for the Cylinder Mold Removal Process, Compression Testing Machine Process, Results and Aircrete Video Resources sections. Adding missing links act as way of building eco-systemic permanence. Images below show some of this work-in-progress.

This week Daniela Andrea Parada (Civil Engineering Student) completed her 43rd week helping with the Sustainable Roadways, Walkways, and Landscaping tutorial development. This week Daniela focused on making final edits for the Flexible Pavement Design section. She thoroughly read through the narrative and bolded all phrases and sentences that needed to be rephrased. Daniela then went through and made the narrative sound more cohesive. She altered some of the sentences in order to ensure that the message was being properly conveyed and added images to make it easier to understand. The documentation of various narrations is required when building eco-systemic permanence. Pictures below are related to this work.

Diwei Zhang (Mechanical Engineer) completed his 26th week of work, now focused on 3D modeling and analysis review for the Net-zero Bathroom component of the Earthbag Village. ‹â€¹This week, Diwei completed the calculation of the peak flow discharge of drains for storm water harvesting. The peak flow discharge at each inlet, combining the slope, is used for determining the pipe size downstream of each inlet. He also summarized the rooftop rainwater harvesting system design from the calculation of rainfall supply, water demand, and catchment area for optimization of the water storage capacity. Building eco-systemic permanence largely depends on the development of such storage facilities. Pictures below show some of this work.

Ming Weng (MS Geography & Environmental Engineering) completed his 22nd week helping with the Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing and Reuse of Non-recyclables research, report, and tutorial. This week, Ming did a lot of contacting merchants via Alibaba. While looking at main information about WTE solutions, he had to learn how inquiries are made for business purposes (like what is RFQ, and how to speak as a representative of a company).

Also it took time to sort and filter useful replies about building eco-systemic permanence. Two examples (Ms. Zhou in China and Mr. Bien in Vietnam) are shown in the weekly images below. Their replies implied the minimum of feedstock input is still greater than our small-scale goals and this may not make their products economically feasible, when building eco-systemic permanence. Pictures below show some of this work-in-progress.

Philip Bogaerts (Structural Window Designer) completed his 3rd week working on completing the Most Sustainable Windows and Doors research on building eco-systemic permanence. Philip started working on the spreadsheet for “Sustainable Door Products” and added 11 products. He also further updated certain sections in the “Door and Window” Google Doc, especially in the frame section, because it is more complicated than originally thought to rank ‘the best door/material’. To actually rank the best door, it will depend on the spreadsheet system where he still might make some adjustments in ranking ‘cost per ft² per R Rating’. A note was added to the spreadsheet. See below for some pictures of this work.

Jieying “Mercy” Cai (Sustainability and Climate Policy Researcher) completed her 2nd week working on completing the Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing and Reuse of Non-recyclables research, report, and tutorial. This week Mercy worked on the WTE conversion options left from last week (Pyrolysis, Landfills, Pulverization & Drying, Torrefaction, Liquefaction, Fermentation, and Anaerobic Digestion).

She adjusted the structure of each section according to the example given in the working doc, and started editing the county case study. She also researched and filled in the comparison table. Once the table is completed, she’ll be able to rank the options at hand that might be sustainable in building eco-systemic permanence. See below for some pictures related to this work.

BUILDING ECO-SYSTEMIC PERMANENCE

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is building eco-systemic permanence through a Duplicable and Sustainable City Center that is LEED Platinum certified/Sustainable, can feed 200 people at a time, provide laundry for over 300 people, is beautiful, spacious, and saves resources, money, and space:

- - Learn about this building and it’s function: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

This week the core team worked on content for the Solar Microgrid webpage on building eco-systemic permanence. We replied to and reviewed comments from previous volunteers, organized current tasks in the Weekly Team Action Item Page, and continued the explanation of energy estimates spreadsheet for solar sizing for the Foundational Calculation Section. We also double checked the values for the dryer and updated the source of the information.

The core team also completed detailed review and feedback on the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering webpage that Chuck has been developing.

Luis Manuel Dominguez (Research Engineer) completed his 59th week helping with research related to the City Center Eco-spa designs. This week, Luis continued his development of the City Center Spa Design website summary. He focused on the development of the resources and formatting. The team also discovered a missing component of the narrative, the chemical usage within the spa, and started on that research to achieve building eco-systemic permanence. Pictures below are related to this work.

Huiya Yang (Volunteer Architectural Designer) completed her 48th week working on the Duplicable City Center architectural review and updates related to the structural code. This week, Huiya updated the pond model at the main entrance and fixed the underground ramp problem she came across last week. She also found a problem when she brought in the herb garden, the size of the original herb garden mismatched the current CAD drawing and reached out for help to fix it. Keeping such models updated makes building eco-systemic permanence a reality. Pictures of some of this work are below.

Venus Abdollahi (Architectural Designer) completed her 47th week helping finish the Duplicable City Center designs. This week, Venus updated the interior design plan for rooms 1, 2, 8, and 11. She also added new dormers and windows for the east and west elevations. See pictures below.

Gabriela Vilela S. C. Diniz (Architect and Urban Planner) completed her 13th week working on the interior design for the Duplicable City Center rental rooms. This week, Gabriela selected and implemented small square glass tiles with mixed pastel colors for the bathroom. She ran a few test renders to be sure it would work and the results looked good. Gabriela also estimated the cost of the closet and started to estimate the cost for the bed too. Pictures below are related to this work.

Charles Gooley (Web Designer) completed his 3rd week working on completing the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering webpage. Charles continued working on the web page for the City Center Dome Hub Connector using content from the content in the Google Doc. He corrected the comment on the formatting of the section on “Ways to contribute and researchers”. Then he added the remaining images and the equipment needed to bend metal and cost for the equipment to the end of the page.

Charles also worked on the Table of Contents, linking the table to anchors in the text. This required deleting some of the original entries in the Table of Contents and adding some new ones. Charles then reviewed the page against the checklist, marking the items on the list. He cropped inadvertent margins off the images at the bottom and replaced the images that were there with the cropped images. See below for some pictures of this work.

BUILDING ECO-SYSTEMIC PERMANENCE

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is building eco-systemic permanence through Highest Good food that is more diverse, more nutritious, locally grown and sustainable, and part of our open source botanical garden model to support and share bio-diversity:

- - Learn about building eco-systemic permanence structures: Hoop House Hub | Aquapini & Walipini Open Source Hub
  - See what we’ll be growing: Gardens & Hoop Houses | Large-scale Structures | Food Forest | TA

This week the core team continued detailed review and feedback on the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan. We wrote up an FAQ for “Why Nutritional Yeast?” highlighting those points and referencing two resources for building eco-systemic permanence. We then continued with the 3-Day Menu Block doc review, questioning portion sizes, capitalizing Tablespoons to more easily differentiate between teaspoons on various recipe ingredient lists, and addressing numerous grammar and other corrections. Pictures below relate to this.

Marilyn Nzegwu (Chef and Culinary Consultant) completed her 21st week helping with the completion of the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan and related menu and meal plans. This week Marilyn searched for more second week recipes that would work without fresh vegetables for both vegans and omnivores. She also responded to comments and suggestions that required adjusting recipes. She also started the process of researching the next fresh week recipes for the summer fresh week menu blocks. With research, building eco-systemic permanence is attainable. The pictures below relate to this work.

Julia Meaney (Researcher and Personal Assistant to Jae) completed her 2nd week. This week, Julia worked on the “Open Source and DIY Permaculture Design” webpage and completed various coding and web design tasks. She organized the tables of content, coded anchor links, and formatted and reorganized webpage content. Julia also began reviewing and managing the completion process for the “Addressing Non-recyclables” research for the associate webpage. Below are some images related to this work.

BUILDING ECO-SYSTEMIC PERMANENCE

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is building eco-systemic permanence through Highest Good education that is for all ages, applicable in any environment, adaptable to individual needs, far exceeds traditional education standards, and more fun for both the teachers and the students. This component of One Community is about 95% complete with only the Open Source School Licensing and Ultimate Classroom construction and assembly details remaining to be finished. We’ll report on the final two elements to be finished as we develop them.

With over 8 years of work invested in the building eco-systemic permanence process, the sections below are all complete until we move onto the property and continue the development and open sourcing process with teachers and students – a development process that is built directly into the structure of the education program and everything else we’re creating too:

HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is building eco-systemic permanence through a Highest Good society approach to living that is founded on fulfilled living, the study of meeting human needs, Community, and making a difference in the world:

- - Read the Highest Good society overview: Highest Good Society
  - Learn about building eco-systemic permanence model for fulfilled living and sharing: A Day in the Life
  - Learn about the 4 economic models: RBE | For-profit | Non-profit | Entrepreneurship
  - Learn about our open source community collaboration and management software: The Highest Good Network

This week the core team completed 14 hours managing One Community volunteer-work review not included above, emails, social media accounts, web development, new bug identification and bug fix integration for the Highest Good Network software, and interviewing and getting set up new volunteer team members. Pictures below show some of this.

The core team also updated the Seeking Software Developers Page and the Highest Good Network Page and the Highest Good Network WBS to reflect the evolution of the Highest Good Network software.

Yiyun Tan (Management Dashboard Team Leader) completed her 23rd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Yiyun switched to work on the feature “add edit button on singleTask page for advanced users” per Eiki’s request, he wanted that feature to help him solve the merge conflicts. She finished this feature, created a PR and got it merged. For the management work, Yiyun had a call and connected with a new team member. Pictures of some of this work are below.

Vera Timokhina (Software Engineer) completed her 14th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Vera worked with the pie charts on the people reports page. She added a pie chart for projects with committed hours. Vera also changed the behavior of the tasks pie chart. Now it displays information about logged hours and shows only the most recently modified tasks. It is also possible to view the pie chart with all tasks by clicking on the “view all” button. See pictures below for some of this work.

Yan Xu (Software Development Engineer) completed her 10th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Yan wrote a deactivated user function and tested it. The test function made it possible to test a future date immediately. In the real situation, if today is the final day, the function will set the user’s status from active to inactive. But in the test situation, since we want to see the effect immediately, she wrote the function to add 5 days, which means if today plus 5 days is later than the final day, the function will change from active to inactive. See pictures below for some of this work.

Arthur Olifant (Videographer) completed his 7th week helping with updating all our homepage videos. This week, Arthur worked on updating the outro video. He had to export the outro with different music and re-retime the transition to the beat. He also worked on the Highest Good Education and Highest Good Food videos. Both have been delivered for review. See pictures below for some of this developing work.

Kaung Htet Myat (Software Engineer) completed his 2nd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week, Kaung worked on moving Team Member Tasks to make it a tab along with the Time Entries. He made some changes to several files associated with Tasks and Time Entries functions to keep the functionality of these components.

Kaung also did 2 PR reviews. One of the PR reviews is for the frontend where he tested if the timezone changes from input for editing and creating users. Another PR reviewed was for the backend where he tested if the user got deactivated after a preset final day. The second PR review took longer for him as it was his first time working with the Highest Good Network App backend. Kaung has also picked a frontend bug to start working on. See pictures below for some of this work.

Hani Khellafi (Software Developer) also joined the team and completed his 1st week helping with the Highest Good Network software. For his first week, Hani completed the initial setup process including filling out and submitting the volunteering agreement form and setting up the HGN app locally. He also reviewed 3 pull-requests: PR #179 (timer service), PR #497 (manager edit suggestion functionality), and PR #508 (WBSname bug fix). Hani also took time to learn about new packages and technologies implemented in the HGN app like Circle CI, Websocket and Radis. Pictures below relate to this work.

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS, ABOUT MATURE BEHAVIOR

SUPPORTING MATURE BEHAVIOR

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is supporting mature ethical behavior through Highest Good housing that is artistic and beautiful, more affordable, more space efficient, lasts longer, DIY buildable, and constructed with healthy and sustainable materials:

- - Learn about supporting mature ethical behavior: Our Upcoming Crowdfunding Campaign
  - Learn about (supporting mature ethical behavior) the different village models: 7 Sustainable Village Models
  - Visit the open source portals for the first two: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

This week the core team continued creating the Aircrete Engineering and Research: Compression Testing, Mix Ratios, R-value, and More page. We added missing links to the previously entered text, and added text with images and external links to each of the items in the material list for sections Concrete Mix and Mixing Process, Aircrete Mix and Mixing Process, Steps for making Quikrete 4000 PSI Concrete, and the Aircrete Instructions section. Images below show some of this work-in-progress.

This week Daniela Andrea Parada (Civil Engineering Student) completed her 42nd week helping with the Sustainable Roadways, Walkways, and Landscaping tutorial development, which exclusively supports mature ethical behavior. This week Daniela focused on completing the section for Flexible Pavements Design. Daniela added to the CBR Design Procedure subsection by researching more on the procedure of the test itself and explaining more details in the narrative. She also added some videos that would further demonstrate the procedure for the on site CBR test since she was able to find a video for the laboratory CBR test last week.

Daniela also researched more information for the AASHTO Design Equation for flexible pavements. She read through various documents in order to find information that was useful to the narrative and reliable. She then added another equation that related to the initial subsection in addition to adding a couple more tables. Daniela placed more resources on a document that she had started last week to keep track of what she has used so far and then did a review of the Flexible Pavement Design as a whole, for supporting mature ethical behavior. Pictures below are related to this work.

Diwei Zhang (Mechanical Engineer) completed his 25th week of work, now focused on 3D modeling and analysis review for the Net-zero Bathroom component of the Earthbag Village. ‹â€¹This week, the calculation of the peak flow for inlets was simplified because of the relatively small catchment areas. All rainfall intensities were estimated based on 5 minutes time of concentration. The simplified calculation was presented with an Excel sheet.

A schematic diagram of catchment areas and inlets of the drains for storm water harvesting was also created and the overflow pipe ties from the barrels to the larger water tank under the shower room were modeled based on the previous 3D model. The sedimentation chambers for the storm water harvested from the main roadway were modeled too. Embracing such sustainable practices is good in supporting mature ethical behavior in the society. Pictures below show some of this work.

Ming Weng (MS Geography & Environmental Engineering) completed his 21st week helping with the Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing and Reuse of Non-recyclables research, report, and tutorial. This week, Ming did research on incinerator systems offered on Alibaba. Three tasks have been in progress: 1. overview of suppliers: what kind of merchandise do they sell. They won’t give suggestions regarding WTE solutions. 2. Recording all potential merchandise into a table, paying attention to their general properties for comparison. 3. Contacting sellers to inquire more information about their products. This is generally supporting mature ethical behavior and heartwarming traits. Pictures below show some of this work-in-progress.

Philip Bogaerts (Structural Window Designer) completed his 2nd week working on completing the Most Sustainable Windows and Doors research. This week Philip worked on optimizing the text of ‘The most sustainable windows and doors’. Then he started looking more closely at types of doors and started to divide them in the online excel file to have an overview of all the materials and understand the advantages and disadvantages of each material so as to better be able to determine the best door. Adopting sustainable mechanism is at the epicenter of supporting mature ethical behavior. Some potential door manufacturers were also added to the DropBox. See below for some pictures of this work.

Jieying “Mercy” Cai (Sustainability and Climate Policy Researcher) joined the team and completed her 1st week working on completing the Best Small and Large-scale Community Options for Sustainable Processing and Reuse of Non-recyclables research, report, and tutorial. This week Mercy familiarized herself with the content in the working doc and started drafting and formatting the Addressing Non-recyclables tutorial.

She finished the index and sections of “existing WTE technologies” (Combustion, Gasification, Plasma Gasification, Incineration, Ionic Gasification) and did additional research on these technologies. She also checked the originality of the work done by previous researchers and rewrote the necessary parts. This is also one way of supporting mature ethical behavior in the society. See below for some pictures related to this work.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is supporting mature ethical behavior through a Duplicable and Sustainable City Center that is LEED Platinum certified/Sustainable, can feed 200 people at a time, provide laundry for over 300 people, is beautiful, spacious, and saves resources, money, and space:

- - Learn about this building and it’s function: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

This week, Luis Manuel Dominguez (Research Engineer) completed his 58th week helping with research related to the City Center Eco-spa designs. This week Luis continues his final updates on the Duplicable City Center hot tub design website narrative. This week he adjusted some formatting situations as well as developed a conclusion for the chemical automation system. He conducted research on the available fixtures on the market and found no better solutions supporting mature ethical behavior than the proposed optimization.

With the help of a biochemical engineer, the chemical automation can be balanced with the discussed plant options and then a system can be implemented. The final components of the narrative include outlining the resources and finalizing grammatical and syntax updates in supporting mature ethical behavior. Pictures below are related to this work.

Huiya Yang (Volunteer Architectural Designer) completed her 47th week working on the Duplicable City Center architectural review and updates related to the structural code. This week Huiya accomplished the work of making all the surfaces of the outdoor landscape in SketchUp. She also found a problem with the clearance height of the underground parking entrance and came up with 2 ways to help fix that and key in supporting mature ethical behavior. Pictures of some of this work are below.

Venus Abdollahi (Architectural Designer) completed her 46th week helping finish the Duplicable City Center designs. This week Venus worked on the plans and section C_C . She updated server counters and columns and added new lines to section C_C according to her supervisor’s feedback. See pictures below.

Yuxi Lu (Architectural Designer) completed her 43rd week working on the Duplicable City Center architectural review and updates related to the structural code. This week Yuxi worked with the team on verifying render angles, material, and lighting while considering how to exhibit our sustainability goals. In preparation for the next renderings, items such as adding missing railings, lockers, supports, and furniture placement correction were done. Comparison images of the exterior material and central atrium area were created for the team’s discussion next week. Pictures of some of this work are below.

Yujue Wang (Architectural Designer) completed her 14th and final week working on the interior design for the Duplicable City Center rental rooms. This week, Yujue completed the interior design presentation, interior design cost analysis, and updated the AutoCAD file and SketchUp file to dropbox. See below for pictures related to this work.

Gabriela Vilela S. C. Diniz (Architect and Urban Planner) completed her 12th week working on the interior design for the Duplicable City Center rental rooms. This week Gabriela worked on the bathroom walls, changing the colors of the chosen wall finishing to see what else she could do to improve it. She also started working on the closet drawings, to show the inside, an idea of the parts and sizes, and the hangers inside.

She additionally added a slide about the closet to the presentation. Her dropbox file was not working properly so she wasn’t able to upload the pictures to it, so she did in another file there, a clear manifestation in support of mature ethical behavior Pictures below are related to this work.

Jessica Santos (Architect) completed her 12th week working on the interior design for the Duplicable City Center rental rooms. Jessica updated the AutoCAD layout of room 11, adding in all the new design details. She started and finished the Interior Design Cost Analysis, resulting in a total cost of $12,103. She also updated the sheet with the theme colors and started and finished the Power Point Presentation. See below for some pictures of this work.

Charles Gooley (Web Designer) completed his 2nd week working on completing the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering webpage to support mature ethical behavior. This week, Charles continued copying text from the Google Doc ensuring there were no unintended html tags and interspersing images where required. Images were first resized to a width of 640px and given appropriate names with the suffix 640xXX. They were also given descriptive comments for the alt tags.

Charles continued with the process through the Cost Analysis. He was asked to blur the email address in the “Quotations showing the cost breakdown for manufacturing the bracket as one piece” image which was done using Photoshop. The response from the metal lab group was left as an image although it might look better as a blockquote. Charles noted that some of the captions for the images in the Google Doc were italicized and some were not. He was requested to use the caption widget provided by the WordPress template, so he put all the captions into the widget.

A few of the captions were too long and wrapped and the length of these captions was reduced to a single line. Charles then started working on linking the Table of Contents with respective headings, but noted that many of the items in the Table of Contents did not align with their respective headings. See below for some pictures of this work.

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is supporting mature ethical behavior through Highest Good food that is more diverse, more nutritious, locally grown and sustainable, and part of our open source botanical garden model to support and share bio-diversity:

- - Learn about supporting mature ethical behavior structures: Hoop House Hub | Aquapini & Walipini Open Source Hub
  - See what we’ll be growing: Gardens & Hoop Houses | Large-scale Structures | Food Forest | TA

This week the core team continued detailed review and feedback on the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan. We continued reviewing the 3-Day Menu Block doc though page 149, focusing on singular/plural agreements of nouns, answering comments, removing capital letters after the first word, and started completing the overall corrections and changing the background to green to signify each individual recipe has undergone a comprehensive review and is ready for input into the 3-day blocks spreadsheets. Such reviews and feedback is generally supporting. Pictures below relate to this.

Another core team member worked on the transition Food Self-sufficiency spreadsheet covering protein and other food modifications for omnivores and various types of vegetarians. Our focus was working on the values to make sure each group is getting enough protein for meals based on a variety of eating preferences. The same team member also followed up on the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering content and organized the solar energy work from where Dave left off, so the work can be passed along to the next volunteer. This is also supports mature ethical behavior. See the pictures below.

Marilyn Nzegwu (Chef and Culinary Consultant) completed her 20th week helping with the completion of the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan and related menu and meal plans. This week Marilyn started with researching and creating recipes and recipe summaries for Second Week F, specifically recipes that would not require fresh vegetables as well as finding vegan/omnivore substitutes. She also took time to make adjustments to old recipes and few food measurements based on comments and suggestions. She ended the week by researching and creating recipes and recipe summaries for Second Week G. This a strategy for supporting mature ethical behavior. The pictures below relate to this work.

Julia Meaney (Researcher and Personal Assistant to Jae) completed her 2nd week. This week’s focus was helping more with the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan spreadsheet updates. This week Julia completed the reformatting of the “Master Recipe” spreadsheet and added this new formatting to the “Master Recipe To Duplicate” spreadsheet. She also lightened the colors on these spreadsheets for more sustainable printing. Julia then linked the cells between each sheet so that the duplicate can remain consistent with any updates on the master. Below are some images related to this work.

SUPPORTING MATURE ETHICAL BEHAVIOR

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is supporting mature ethical behavior through Highest Good education that is for all ages, applicable in any environment, adaptable to individual needs, far exceeds traditional education standards, and more fun for both the teachers and the students. This component of One Community is about 95% complete with only the Open Source School Licensing and Ultimate Classroom construction and assembly details remaining to be finished.

With over 8 years of work invested in the process, the sections below are all complete until we move onto the property and continue the development and open sourcing process with teachers and students – a development process that is built directly into the structure supporting mature ethical behavior of the education program and everything else we’re creating too:

Program Overview Supporting Mature Ethical Behavior: Education Open Source Hub
How the mature ethical behavior components work together: How to use the Education for Life Program
Lesson Plans for Life – Lesson Plans How-to
Foundations of Outstanding Leaders, Teachers, and Communicators
Curriculum for Life
Teaching Strategies for Life
Learning Tools and Toys for Life
Evaluation and Evolution

This week, Adolph Karubanga (Certified Project Manager & Civil/Structural Engineer) completed his 22nd week helping with the Ultimate Classroom structural engineering. This week, Adolph finalized the design of structural elements. He also reviewed and modified the earlier submitted design of the truss structure. Compilation of the structural engineering report is approximately at 90% and he is in the process of finalizing this project and sharing all the required documents within this week. Screenshots of some of this work are provided below.

SUPPORTING MATURE ETHICAL BEHAVIOR

HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is supporting mature ethical behavior through a Highest Good society approach to living that is founded on fulfilled living, the study of meeting human needs, Community, and making a difference in the world:

- - Read the Highest Good society overview supporting mature ethical behavior: Highest Good Society
  - Learn about the model for fulfilled living and sharing: A Day in the Life
  - Learn about the 4 economic models: RBE | For-profit | Non-profit | Entrepreneurship
  - Learn about our open source community collaboration and management software: The Highest Good Network

This week the core team completed 20 hours managing One Community volunteer-work review not included above, emails, social media accounts, web development, new bug identification and bug fix integration for the Highest Good Network software, and interviewing and getting set up new volunteer team members. Pictures below show some of this.

The core team also spent several hours working to create a logo transition in Final Cut Pro that Arthur wasn’t able to create in Premiere. We were unsuccessful too. In addition to this, we completed several more rounds of reviewing and giving feedback on the new overview videos Arthur is developing and described below.

Chris Weilacker (Senior Software Engineer) completed his 39th week of formal contribution to the Highest Good Network software. Chris helped with a diversity of ongoing support for the team answering questions and helping with various emergency bugs. These actions are supporting mature ethical behavior. Pictures below are related to this work.

Yiyun Tan (Management Dashboard Team Leader) completed her 22nd week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Yiyun is working on the feature, “make so non-team users can see their tasks on the management dashboard”. She is in the middle of it, working on changing the backend mongoDB aggregation pipeline to fit the new getTasksByUser function. Yiyun will complete this feature with both frontend and backend PRs next week. Pictures of some of this work are below.

Eiki Kan (Software Engineer) completed his 18th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. In terms of management work, this week Eiki reviewed weekly summaries and PR 179 on the backend. In terms of software development, Eiki created PR 497 on the frontend and PR 186 on the backend for the task edit suggestions feature. He merged the development branch and fixed merge conflicts that arose.

The feature unexpectedly broke because one part of the feature was overwritten in another PR, so he attempted to fix it. Additionally, Eiki fixed a bug where HTML and nbsp; tags appeared on the red bell difference modal in PR 500 on the frontend. Fixing issues that arises during the process is supporting mature ethical behavior. See pictures below for some of this work.

Vera Timokhina (Software Engineer) completed her 13th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Vera started creating the pie chart visualization for the users hours contributed to their various tasks/projects. This chart is displayed on the people report page. At the moment, the chart itself and the list of tasks are ready, but the hours spent on tasks are not displayed yet. A clear manifestation of mature ethical behavior. See pictures below for some of this work.

Yan Xu (Software Development Engineer) completed her 9th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Yan created a deactivation function on the back end, so it is now possible to change a user from active to inactive status. She uses the cronjob package to schedule the task every day, 12:01, to check if any users set their final days and if they did, then the $set function in HGNRest will change the active user to inactive. Yan will test this function in many different situations to ensure its effectiveness. Testing the operations mechanism therefore, supports mature ethical behavior. See pictures below for some of this work.

Arthur Olifant (Videographer) also completed his 6th week helping with updating all our homepage videos to support mature ethical behavior. This week, Arthur continued working on updating the five videos from the main page of the website. Most of them were approved and just need the final outro to be added into it. Arthur was then working on creating the outro but had problems with a transition he couldn’t achieve correctly. He also delivered the V1 of the Highest Good Society video. See pictures below for some of this developing work.

Kaung Htet Myat (Software Engineer) also joined the team and completed his 1st week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Kaung worked on fixing bugs and reviewing PR requests as a starting point of studying how the project works. Kaung was able to fix the “!” sign bug from weekly committed hours and raised the PR for his fix. He picked Medium Priority #7 for the next bug fix. For this bug (Moving Team Member Task and Time Entries), Kaung was also able to complete part a.

However, part b is to move “Add intangible Time” to the top near the stop watch and moving this button might require more changes to the existing code, so he is taking some time to work on this. Ensuring proper account of times spent is supporting mature ethical behavior. Pictures of some of his work can be seen below.

ENGAGING THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF NATURAL SYSTEMS

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is engaging the interconnectedness of natural systems through Highest Good housing that is artistic and beautiful, more affordable, more space efficient, lasts longer, DIY buildable, and constructed with healthy and sustainable materials:

- - Learn about engaging the interconnectedness of natural systems: Our Upcoming Crowdfunding Campaign
  - Learn about the different village models: 7 Sustainable Village Models
  - Visit the open source portals for the first two: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

This week the core team continued creating the Aircrete Engineering and Research: Compression Testing, Mix Ratios, R-value, and More page. We updated and resized images and reloaded text with related external / internal links and anchors for these sections: Initial Trial Phase, Planning Phase Revisited, Trial Phase Revisited, Compression Testing Phase, Test Parameters, and Materials. We also created two spreadsheets and loaded them into the website. Images below show some of this work-in-progress.

Stacey Maillet (Graphic Designer) completed her 81st week working on the final edits and revisions to the Murphy bed instructions. This week Stacey and Bear had a great conversation to review pending questions on the instructions. There were a few key issues to be talked out in the components section regarding gang boxes and outlet covers. We reviewed all the descriptions and drawings of all the components. The slider switches have now all been combined together into one component and without making any drastic changes, we were able to streamline the electrical pieces. The combining components is important in understanding the engaging the interconnectedness of natural systems. Screenshots below relate to this work.

This week Daniela Andrea Parada (Civil Engineering Student) completed her 41st week helping with the Sustainable Roadways, Walkways, and Landscaping tutorial development. This week Daniela started off by finishing the final touches on the narrative for the “Full Depth Reclamation” subsection under “Flexible Pavement Design”. She then added more narrative to the “Rubberized Asphalt” subsection and researched information for the “Overlay” subsection. As Daniela continued to incorporate more research, she wrote more narrative for subsections concerning the “Stress Absorbing Membrane Interlayer” too.

In addition, as Daniela was finishing up the narrative for the “Flexible Pavement Design Section” she decided that she’d like to research more information on both the California “Bearing Ratio Test” subsection along with the “AASHTO” equation subsection. This week she also started more research on the CBR test and read through multiple resources in order to find reliable and relatable material to write about. Employing such research mechanisms is essential in engaging the interconnectedness of natural systems. Pictures below are related to this work.

Diwei Zhang (Mechanical Engineer) completed his 24th week of work, now focused on 3D modeling and analysis review for the Net-zero Bathroom component engaging the interconnectedness of natural systems of the Earthbag Village. ‹â€¹This week Diwei corrected the water jet model and added a control panel into the mechanical room of the Duplicable City Center hot tub. The modeling files were then uploaded. Calculation of a storm drain was completed too. The procedures for determining peak discharge of inlets and drain pipes sizes were presented and an Excel for those calculations was created. Pictures below show some of this work.

Philip Bogaerts (Structural Window Designer) joined the team and completed his 1st week working on completing the Most Sustainable Windows and Doors research to understand the engaging the interconnectedness of natural systems. This week Philip did research on cradle-to-cradle glass manufacturers and frame manufacturers. Afterwards he worked on ‘understanding windows’, where he compared double and triple glazing, the type of gas filling, types of coatings and the frames.

These parts are not finalized yet, since they still need some optimization, but all the information is there already. Finally, Philip started with the “Doors” section, where he is still doing research and comparing different materials to see which ones are the best in engaging the interconnectedness of natural systems. See below for some pictures of this work.

ENGAGING THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF NATURAL SYSTEMS

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER PROGRESS

One Community is engaging the interconnectedness of natural systems through a Duplicable and Sustainable City Center that is LEED Platinum certified/Sustainable, can feed 200 people at a time, provide laundry for over 300 people, is beautiful, spacious, and saves resources, money, and space:

- - Learn about this building and it’s function: Duplicable City Center Open Source Hub

This week the core team began working on finalizing comments made on the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering final report and solar sizing spreadsheet and document. We emailed past researchers for the remaining answers/work needed. The same team member also started double checking the calculations and functionality of the Omnivore Vegan Multiplier tab for the menu spreadsheet. Consulting researchers really helps the team in engaging the interconnectedness of natural systems. See the pictures below.

Luis Manuel Dominguez (Research Engineer) completed his 57th week helping with research related to the City Center Eco-spa designs and engaging the interconnectedness of natural systems. This week Luis made another round of edits for the content to be added to the website. This was based on team feedback and edits should conclude next week so Luis can transition into a new project. Pictures below are related to this work.

Huiya Yang (Volunteer Architectural Designer) completed her 45th week working on the Duplicable City Center architectural review and updates related to the structural code. This week Huiya worked on modeling the outdoor landscape in the SketchUp model after importing the CAD drawing of the outdoor landscape. There were too many disconnected short lines, so she spent time cleaning those lines first. Such cleaning processes is useful in engaging the interconnectedness of natural systems. Pictures of some of this work are below.

Yuxi Lu (Architectural Designer) completed her 42nd week working on the Duplicable City Center architectural review and updates related to the structural code as a mechanism in engaging the interconnectedness of natural systems. This week Yuxi continued to finalize the SketchUp model to prepare it for rendering. This included wall and column protrusions, Social Dome door and window fixes, and furniture that was still hanging in the air. The model was then imported into Lumion, double checked for layer material properties, and it was found that many objects require material assignments. An initial rendering for the Dining Dome second floor was created for review too. Pictures of some of this work are below.

Yujue Wang (Architectural Designer) completed her 13th week working on the interior design for the Duplicable City Center rental rooms. This week, Yujue continued the development of the Duplicable City Center Interior Design by updating the design of Room 8, Nautical-themed room. She finished the renderings, presentation, Cost analysis, AutoCAD, and SketchUp model. See below for pictures related to this work.

Gabriela Vilela S. C. Diniz (Architect and Urban Planner) completed her 11th week working on the interior design for the Duplicable City Center rental rooms. At the beginning of the week, Gabriela did a render of the bathroom to see how it would look. Jae suggested a wallpaper to get deeper into the theme, but she discovered that the material would not last in the wet environment of a bathroom. It was then suggested to change the type of tiles, so Gabriela presented a diversity of models/colors/ideas to chose from. The connection creation between themes and environment, becomes essential when engaging the interconnectedness of natural systems. Pictures below are related to this work.

Jessica Santos (Architect) completed her 11th week working on the interior design for the Duplicable City Center rental rooms. This week Jessica exchanged one of the arm chairs so both were ones that turned into a bed. After a couple of tries, she decided to change the gray colors of both armchairs/bed, she picked a warmer color, a clear pink rose.

Changing these, Jessica also needed to rearrange the 3D model so both arm chairs could fit (they are very big chairs) and change the shape of the carpet. She also needed to do all the rendered images again as a process of engaging the interconnectedness of natural systems; so a total of 12 rendered images were then completed and added to her folder on Dropbox. See below for some pictures of this work.

Charles Gooley (Web Designer) joined the team and completed his 1st week working on completing the City Center Dome Hub Connector Engineering webpage. This week, Charles started creating a web page for the City Center Dome Hub Connector using content from the development Google Doc. This project highlights the research and design methods used by the team to ensure the safety and manufacturability of the City Center Dome Hub Connectors and engaging the interconnectedness of natural systems.

First Charles extracted the images in the Google Doc by downloading it as a web page. This method saves the images in a separate folder called images. The images are named image1, image2, etc., so each image needs to be given an appropriate name when uploaded to the web page. Then Charles created a table of contents. One of the comments he received was to remove any punctuation marks, so he deleted all the question marks. Next, Charles migrated content from the Google Doc to the web page following the general formatting rules including removing unintentional html code, ensuring that all content is correctly justified, etc.

Charles set the width of all images to 640px, except for images set to 320px that were side by side. He positioned two images side by side by creating div’s with widths of 50%, floated left. Images were given a border of 2px solid black and a title tag that generated a popup message when hovered over with the mouse. There was one exception to the border for the image that depicted the equations showing the compressive and tensile stresses. Finally, Charles corrected the comment that the social media links were displayed using a shortcode. He migrated content up through the “Researchers” section of the page. See below for some pictures of this work.

ENGAGING THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF NATURAL SYSTEMS

HIGHEST GOOD FOOD PROGRESS

One Community is engaging the interconnectedness of natural systems through Highest Good food that is more diverse, more nutritious, locally grown and sustainable, and part of our open source botanical garden model to support and share bio-diversity:

- - Learn about the structures: Hoop House Hub | Aquapini & Walipini Open Source Hub
  - See what we’ll be growing: Gardens & Hoop Houses | Large-scale Structures | Food Forest | TA

This week the core team continued detailed review and feedback on the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan. We continued our 3-Day Menu Block review and we also coordinated with Stacey on the Murphy Bed doc by resolving existing comments and designating specific terminology for electrical components including face plates, outlets, switches, dimmers, gang boxes etc. Pictures below relate to this.

Marilyn Nzegwu (Chef and Culinary Consultant) completed her 19th week helping with the completion of the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan and related menu and meal plans. This week Marilyn started to review meals for Second Week menu blocks. She began by reviewing recipes on already completed menu blocks and adding missing omnivore/vegan protein recipes to menus that had simple or no vegan or omnivore protein recipes. She ended the week by researching and creating recipes on Second Week D and Second Week E menu blocks. The pictures below relate to this work.

Julia Meaney (Researcher and Personal Assistant to Jae) also joined the team and completed her first week. This week’s focus was helping with the Transition Food Self-sufficiency Plan spreadsheet updates. This week she designed a new formatting for both the Transition Kitchen Recipe Build Out and the Master Recipe Template spreadsheets in order that they may be more easily navigable for data entry, and better organized and legible for printing. Below are some images related to this work.

This week, Adolph Karubanga (Certified Project Manager & Civil/Structural Engineer) completed his 21st week helping with the Ultimate Classroom structural engineering. This week, Adolph focused on finalizing the design processes of the structural engineering design and detailing elements. He also focused on the key aspects governing fire resistance and protection of timber coupled with compiling a detailed engineering report. Enhancing the strength and security of elements achieves the goal of engaging the interconnectedness of natural systems Screenshots of his work are below.

ENGAGING THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF NATURAL SYSTEMS

HIGHEST GOOD SOCIETY PROGRESS

One Community is engaging the interconnectedness of natural systems through a Highest Good society approach to living that is founded on fulfilled living, the study of meeting human needs, Community, and making a difference in the world:

- - Read the Highest Good society overview: Highest Good Society
  - Learn about the model for fulfilled living and sharing: A Day in the Life
  - Learn about the 4 economic models of engaging the interconnectedness of natural systems: RBE | For-profit | Non-profit | Entrepreneurship
  - Learn about our open source community collaboration and management software: The Highest Good Network

This week the core team completed 17 hours managing One Community volunteer-work review not included above, emails, social media accounts, web development, new bug identification and bug fix integration for the Highest Good Network software, and interviewing and getting set up new volunteer team members. Pictures below show some of this.

The core team also completed more rounds of reviewing and giving feedback on the new overview videos Arthur is developing (see below).

Yiyun Tan (Software Engineer) completed her 21st week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Yiyun put most of her time into implementing the feature “same folder tasks as current task”. She finished the first half of it, implementing the feature on the level 1 tasks, so the sameFolderTasks page will lead to the current level 1 task’s WBS page. Next week Yiyun will work on the same feature for the level 2/3/4 tasks. Pictures of some of this work are below.

Eiki Kan (Software Engineer) completed his 17th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. In terms of management work, this week Eiki reviewed weekly summaries and PR 493 and 183. In terms of software development, Eiki continued frontend and backend work on the task edit suggestions feature. He completed the implementation of Jae’s requested feature of editing task edit suggestions so that admins can edit suggestions before approving them and submitting them to the backend. Eiki also fixed the bug with the resource search resulting in undefined members. Having clearly defined members will be engaging the interconnectedness of natural systems. See pictures below for some of this work.

Vera Timokhina (Software Engineer) completed her 12th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. This week Vera finished the component for pagination and handled border cases covering when all data fits on one page, when there are less than 5 pages, and when the selected page is the last or the first. Now the WBS table and the project members table are wrapped in the pagination component, so if the table contains more than 6 elements, then the paging buttons appear. Vera also created a new look for the WBS table and the project members table on the project reports page, then she started redesigning the Tasks Details table. See pictures below for some of this work.

Yan Xu (Software Development Engineer) completed her 8th week helping with the Highest Good Network software. For this week, Yan revised her code and updated the PR. She also continued working on the function where the user status will change from active to inactive when reaching a specific date. To solve this problem, Yan tried to use the package cronJob to schedule the task on node.js. The activeness or inactiveness, therefore, establishes the connection of components in engaging the interconnectedness of natural systems. See pictures below for some of this work.

Arthur Olifant (Videographer) also completed his 5th week helping with updating all our homepage videos. This week, Arthur worked on delivering the first two versions of the What Is It video and working on fixing the previous videos as well. This included a lot of discussing the main page video with Jae to organize how this video will look. Another big project for the week was to finish the outro video. Two new versions have been delivered to create a clear picture in engaging the interconnectedness of natural systems. See pictures below for some of this developing work.
