To understand connected speech, you need to know the difference between vowels and consonants. The 5 vowels are: a, e, i, o, u. Consonants are all the other letters of the English alphabet. It will also be helpful to learn the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), so that you can learn the sounds. The IPA sounds and the English alphabet are not always the same. Tophonetics is a great website that will change a word or sentence into IPA.

The B.C. Housing Action Taskforce is a dedicated team, including navigators, who will work across government to make faster decisions on provincial housing permits. We are also improving how we process and collect application information.
Housing development is a multi-stage process. You may need permits from B.C. government, local governments and/or First Nations. All levels of government are working together to simplify the permitting process for you.
While the province is responsible for consulting with First Nations, you are encouraged to engage with First Nations as early as possible in your planning process. This can help build relationships, share information and provide greater clarity and timeliness to your project.
High-speed internet is increasingly important for communities of all sizes. It improves access to the services people in British Columbia count on including education, healthcare, economic opportunities, and expanding the ability for local businesses to reach national and international markets. Expanding internet service areas is especially vital for rural communities, where access to reliable high-speed internet service is often limited. Connecting Communities BC (CCBC) and other funding programs support the expansion of high-speed internet services to all underserved households in BC. This funding supports the target to provide high-speed internet access (minimum 50/10 Mbps) to all households in BC by 2027, as well as a key item in the Declaration Act Action Plan (4.36) to connect all Indigenous communities to high-speed internet services by 2027.

Access to nature is essential for our health and wellbeing. However, as our cities become increasingly crowded, it becomes more and more challenging to find ways to connect with nature in urban spaces.
Despite the known benefits, interacting with nature is becoming increasingly difficult for people in cities. Urban areas are becoming more densely populated, increasing pressure on accessible green spaces.
At the same time, the amount of green space in many cities is declining. This is due to rising urban density as well as changing housing trends. Traditional backyards are shrinking in countries such as Australia.
People report liking these spaces for their wild, unmanaged nature, in contrast to more neatly manicured parks. We know people use these spaces for a range of activities, from taking shortcuts or dog walking to creating community gardens. However, the extent to which people use informal green space to engage with nature has not been well understood until now.
This enabled us to study how often people recorded sightings of animal and plant species in informal green spaces compared to their more formal counterparts, such as parks. It provided a measure of their interaction with nature. We found people use informal green spaces to engage with nature just as much as formal green spaces.
Areas along railway lines and utility corridors were most popular. This may be due to their fixed land tenure. It allows people to become familiar with them and gives nature a better chance to establish on these sites.
Formal parks will always be important to ensure people have regular, meaningful interactions with nature for the sake of their health and wellbeing. But we need to broaden our perspective to include a more diverse selection of green spaces. By valuing and integrating informal green spaces better into existing green space networks, we can ensure nature remains part of urban life.

This graduation project focusses on an isolated former industrial area in Pantin, a suburb just outside of Paris. The urban goal is to connect the isolated and neglected site to the city of Pantin. On the site a former warehouse for the checking of goods by the Parisian customs is situated. This building needs to be transformed for a new use. This is done by transforming the building into a hybrid building which accomodates housing, working and learning. A small city in which different users and functions have a chance to meet and to connect. The emphasis is therefor on collectivity between the different functions, separate functions and users. The story of Esmeralda by Italo Calvino forms the inspiration for the architecture, in which the former and proposed new use come together.
