Stay Healthy in the Heat
The body normally cools itself by sweating. During hot and humid weather, sweating isn't enough because humidity prevents evaporation that cools the body. Body temperature can rise to dangerous levels if multiple precautions are not taken, such as drinking water frequently and resting in the shade or air conditioning. Heat illnesses range from heat rash and heat cramps to heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Heat stroke requires immediate medical attention and can result in death.

$6.5 billion mega-project across from 49ers stadium gets bigger, closer to reality
One of Silicon Valley's biggest ever development proposals -- a new metropolis that would shoot up across from the 49ers stadium -- is getting even bigger and now has a behemoth of a price tag to go with it.
The City Place Santa Clara project has grown from 5.2 million square feet when it was unveiled last year to about 8 million square feet, more than five times the size of Santana Row. And the privately-financed project will cost an estimated $6.5 billion -- roughly the cost of the new Bay Bridge eastern span -- up from $1.5 billion previously.

RFID Is the Cure for San Francisco
Construction Project
Accurately monitoring the curing of concrete can be critical on large construction projects. If a slab is not given sufficient time to cure, cracks can develop when the next slab is poured, which would ruin that section. Companies have typically used temperature loggers with wires from the device running into the concrete, since concrete gives off heat as it cures. But wired sensors can be too cumbersome for large projects, so in such scenarios, a concrete consultant often sets a conservative estimated curing timeline based on the material being used, as well as other conditions. This often means extra time is built into a project's timeline, in order to ensure that all concrete poured is fully cured before employees proceed to the next step.
