Sky Mile Tower. The  is an envisioned  skyscraper building intended to be built in Tokyo, Japan.

The design of the tower is part of an initiative called Next Tokyo 2045 for research and developmental purposes and was made by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates and Leslie E. Robertson Associates.

The Sky Mile Tower would be built on an archipelago of reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay. This proposed reclamation project with the Sky Mile Tower as its centrepiece is dubbed as "Next Tokyo". The building is designed to be occupied by around 55,000 people and is planned to be  high.

Representatives from Next Tokyo believe the value of new waterfront properties in Tokyo Bay could help pay for the project's construction, should the proposal go through.

As of April 22, 2023, the webpage on KPF's website describing the project has been removed. It is still mentioned on Leslie E. Robertson Associates' website.

Bruce Day (engineer). Hubert Bruce Day (8 December 1927 – 5 December 2015) was an Australian structural engineer, who undertook bridge design works for the Melbourne & Metropolitan Board of Works and Country Roads Board in Melbourne, Australia from the 1950s to 1980s.

Bruce Day was the principal design engineer for the bridge over Punt Road on the South Eastern Freeway, the first major metropolitan freeway in Melbourne. He also designed the elevated roadway section of stage two of the freeway over the Yarra River and Gardiners Creek. Day was involved in the investigation of the causes of the partial collapse of the Kings Way Bridge, for which he designed post tensioning strengthening. He oversaw the design of three bridges for St Kilda Junction while designing one of them himself. Graham Ebbage designed the westernmost bridge spanning Queens Road. These bridges provided grade separation of major roads and tram bridges. Ebbage went on to design bridges in Brisbane and Hong Kong. In the mid 1970s, Day designed the bridges for the Eastern Freeway stage 1, ensuring that aesthetic considerations were given prominence in this sensitive and controversial project.

The National Trust Historic Concrete Bridges Study identified a number of Day's bridge designs as being of state or regional significance for inclusion on the National Trust Register and Victorian Heritage Register. In particular the South Eastern Freeway elevated section bridges were identified as being of regional significance and the Eastern Freeway Stage 1 Bridges were identified as being of State Significance.

Day made an important contribution to the landscape character and built environment of  Melbourne, and played a major role in transforming the city during a period of great change when freeways became the natural means of moving traffic.

In March 1973, he was transferred to Shijiazhuang Diesel Engine Factory to serve as its chief engineer and deputy head. In October 1980, he was appointed vice mayor of Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei Province. During an interview, Ye said he had never thought of becoming a politician, and had no idea that he was to become vice mayor until Jia Ran, party chief of Shijiazhuang, told him the government's decision.

He was promoted to vice governor of Hebei in June 1985, and became a member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee. He became Governor of Hebei in May 1993, and was promoted to Communist Party Secretary, the top post in the province, in September 1998. He served as party chief until March 2000, when he became a standing committee member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). Starting in 2003, he served as Vice-Chairman of the Economy Committee of the CPPCC.

Ye was an alternate member to the 13th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (1987–1992) and a full member of the 14th (1992–1997) and 15th (1997–2002) Central Committees. He was a delegate to the 8th (1993–1998) and 9th National People's Congress (1998–2003).

Water Conservation Act of 2009. The Water Conservation Act of 2009 (also known as Senate Bill X7-7 or SB X7-7) is a California state law that requires the state to reduce urban water consumption by 20% by the year 2020. It originated as a bill written by Democratic Senator Darrell Steinberg and was enacted on November 10, 2009. The key purpose of the law is to encourage both urban and agricultural water providers to implement conservation strategies, monitor water usage, and report data to the Department of Water Resources (DWR). The law sets goals and deadlines regarding when the implementations must occur and, in an attempt to encourage participation, makes water suppliers ineligible for state water grants or loans unless certain terms have been met.

Details

Formula for implementation 

Water providers were first required to submit assessments of their baseline urban water use, which was measured in , to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR). From this it was possible to calculate the reductions in use that would be required for each watershed, taking account of different factors such as population, hydrology and land use, in order to meet the required 20% reduction.

All providers were then required to submit conservation plans to DWR by July 1, 2011 outlining exactly how the provider will ensure the conservation targets are met. To aide the suppliers the DWR formulated several water conversation methods/measurement criteria that suppliers could adopt, allowing them to choose the one that was best suited to their specific users. These included: 
 Setting a conservation target of 80 percent of their baseline daily per capita water use (i.e. a direct 20% reduction in all water use).
 Differentiate between specific land uses (indoor, landscape, commercial and industrial) and set different performance standards.
 Meet the per-capita water use goal for their specific hydrologic region as identified by DWR and other state agencies.
 Use an alternate method that was developed by DWR before December 31, 2010.
Agricultural Water providers are also bound by the legislation and will be required to:
 Measure the volume of water delivered to customers 
 Adopt a pricing structure that is based on quantity delivered.
