When shells fell on London, I learned that crowds do not crave solace; they demand resolve. A leader must stride to the rubble, cigar alight, voice steady, and declare that the empire can and shall endure. Responsibility is the iron ration one carries into every crisis, never surrendered, never exhausted.

Yet responsibility is no grim shackle; it is a clarion trumpet. It summons inventive minds to the factory, restless hearts to the front, and skeptical allies to the table. The man who shoulders blame earns the right to command resources, for nations entrust treasure only to custodians unafraid of audit.

So assume your burden with martial cheer. Survey your domain, identify each lurking hazard, and announce, not plead, the course ahead. Then labor longer than any clerk, sign letters by hand, appear amid the smoke, and thank the obscure mechanic as warmly as the decorated captain. When dawn comes, those you serve will echo your courage, and greatness will seem inevitable to all.

Carry responsibility visibly, inspire peers through decisive words and actions, and thank contributors without reservation today.

Backhoes will roll June 23 beside University Avenue as UC Riverside officially launches construction of SoCal OASIS Park, a 39,000‑square‑foot research and economic‑development hub designed to fuse clean‑tech labs with startup coworking space. The three-acre infill site, located at the west gateway of the campus, replaces a demolished extension center and is slated for completion in spring 2027, following two years of planning.

Architects paired exposed‑beam mass‑timber wings to a poured‑in‑place concrete core, embedding operable glass walls that spill into shaded courtyards, bike paths, and a photovoltaic roof trellis. Interior zones include CE-CERT emission-testing bays, maker studios, flexible wet and dry labs, and an incubator loft wired for 400-gig fiber, all engineered for LEED Gold performance.

Project leaders say the park will create 200 construction jobs and, once operational, support 150 researchers, entrepreneurs, and trainees annually, while generating $80 million in regional economic output. OASIS partners plan demonstration pilots in sustainable transportation, ag-tech, and clean energy, creating living lab streetscapes visible from the Riverside-Downtown Metrolink. Crowdfunding and state climate‑innovation bonds finalized financing.

Excavators bit into downtown riverbank soil Wednesday as Multnomah County officials kicked off construction of the Earthquake Ready Burnside Bridge, the Northwest’s first full lifeline span designed for a Cascadia megaquake. The $1.98 billion project replaces the century-old drawbridge with a 450-foot steel tied-arch main span and higher west-side approaches, eliminating three ramps that frequently flood.

Crews will drill 280‑foot steel shaft foundations through river sediments, then slide modular arch segments down temporary trestles for mid‑stream assembly, avoiding in‑water work during endangered salmon runs. A movable center deck will still lift for tall excursion ships, powered by redundant hydraulic cylinders fed from an on‑site microgrid using rooftop solar arrays.

Funding comes from federal Mega grants, Oregon’s seismic bond program, city transportation impact fees, and a nine‑county fuel tax approved last November. Contractors pledge 1,400 prevailing-wage jobs, 30 percent of which will be awarded to disadvantaged firms. Substantial completion is slated for late 2030, ensuring that vital streetcar, bus, bike, and emergency routes remain open after the Big One.

Ground broke Monday on Cedar Loop Estates near Columbus, Ohio, the nation’s first production subdivision built around a shared horizontal geothermal loop buried beneath its central park. Developer Heartland Homes secured Ohio EPA clearance last week after simulations proved the polymer‑lined grid could serve eighty‑four heat‑pump houses without risking groundwater.

Lateral feeds will be stubbed to every lot before the streets are paved, allowing contractors to snap quick-connect manifolds in under an hour and eliminating the need for individual backyard wells. Heartland says the $9,700 loop share plus heat pump replaces a $13,400 gas furnace-AC bundle, trimming mortgages by $28 and slashing household energy use by 62 percent.

Columbia Gas, originally slated to serve the site, supports the pilot, saying that avoiding pipe infrastructure frees capital for renewable gas research. Ohio State University will monitor loop temperatures remotely and publish weekly data on an open dashboard to inform code hearings. Reservation demand spiked after a drone video showed crews unspooling a black pipe, resembling a ribbon, across the meadow.
