Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an approach to the entire building life cycle. Autodesk(R) Revit(R) is a powerful BIM program for architecture, MEP, and structure that supports the ability to coordinate, update, and share design data with team members throughout the design construction and management phases of a building's life. A key component in managing the BIM process is to establish a company foundation for different types of projects by creating standard templates and custom family elements. Having this in place makes the process of any new project flow smoothly and efficiently.The objective of the Autodesk(R) Revit(R) 2024 BIM Management: Template and Family Creation guide is to enable users who have worked with the software to expand their knowledge in setting up office standards with templates that include annotation styles, preset views, sheets, and schedules, as well as creating custom system, in-place, and component families. This guide contains practices that are specific to each discipline. Topics CoveredCreate custom templates with annotation styles, title blocks, and custom element types.Create schedules, including material takeoff schedules with formulas.Create custom wall, roof, and floor types, as well as MEP system families.Set up a component family file with a parametric framework.Create family geometry.Create family types.Modify the visibility of components and incorporate additional family items such as controls, MEP connectors, and nested components.Create specific families, including in-place families, profiles, annotations, and parameters.This guide also contains discipline-specific practices for families, including doors, windows, railings, pipe fittings, light fixtures, gusset plates, and built-up columns.PrerequisitesAccess to the 2024.0 version of the software, to ensure compatibility with this guide.

Though tremendous strides have been made in cracking the glass ceiling in business, politics, medicine, law, and other professions, the same cannot be said of some congregations and denominations within the Christian church. This is particularly heartbreaking in light of the reality that Jesus and the early apostles and disciples cracked the stained-glass ceiling wide open in the first century. God has carved out places in his church for every woman who has given her life to him, and he wants us to shine in those places. He has given us the spiritual gifts we need to shine in fulfilling the purposes he chose for us. He does not want us to hide our spiritual gifts. He is displeased when or if we choose to hide our gifts. So, trust in the Lord, follow the leading of the Spirit, and walk in the purpose for which you were created.

Free Radicals is the story of a girl who finds herself watching her mother run off with her lover on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. The aftermath makes for the most incredible novel of our times: a saga that reconstructs over six decades in the history of Mexico, the United States, and the world, marking at least four generations. Rosa Beltrán's fascinating journey recreates events that changed history forever: the expansion of communism in Latin America, the student movements of the 1960s, the Moon landing, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, the Cultural Revolution, the dramatic rise of migration, drug trafficking, the social media explosion, and the growth of the middle class. Told in first person, from the retrospective view of the protagonist, the book sheds light on things that once went unnamed, like "domestic violence" or "femicide.">What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, our precocious young protagonist reads in a volume of Nietzsche the day her daredevilish mother leaves her and her siblings behind in search of love, art, and adventure. And the wheels of this family's intimate story thrust the reader headlong into the sweeping history of contemporary Mexico from the 60's student unrest to the present day. A poignant narrative, richly courageous, full of love and laughter in a pitch-perfect translation by Robin Myers.>Rosa Beltrán in English at last! Author of an oeuvre of fierce intelligence and incomparable wit, Beltrán is a bedrock of contemporary Mexican letters. Whether in dazzling essays or in well-researched historical novels, she has proven to be an indispensable witness of our turbulent times. In Free Radicals, her best novel yet, Beltran uses her considerable narrative skills and critical fabulation to bring together three generations of women whose lives--complex. wayward, unique--constitute question marks to the status quo. Just as they are defined in chemistry, these "free radicals" easily react with other molecules, unleashing large change reactions in bodies and society. As intimate as it is subversive, Beltrán¿s view of women in Mexico will not leave you unscathed. - Cristina Rivera Garza, writer What is it about a woman's body that inspires such violence, asks Rosa Beltran's narrator as she tells the tumultous story of three generations of women seeking self-realization and freedom. A runaway mother is at the center of this tale in which women united by family and friendship face the aggression of strangers and intimate partners in a fracturing society. From the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre to the narco-wars of the 80s and 90s and the COVID pandemic, Free Radicals paints a nuanced portrait of Mexico City over the past half century, a place that, in Robin Myer's seamless translation, feels at once familiar and surreal. For those who loved Alfonso Cuarón's 2018 movie Roma, this is a must-read. - D. P. Snyder, writer and translator
