The earliest known multi-level parking garage was built in 1918 in Chicago and featured a groundbreaking design with an internal car elevator—because ramps hadn’t been widely adopted yet! Today, modern garages use advanced materials like high-performance concrete and corrosion-resistant coatings to extend their lifespan and reduce maintenance costs. ????? ??Webinar Alert?? ??Parking Structure Design, Construction and Maintenance ??Date: Tuesday, April 8, 2025 ??Time: 9:00 am - 4:30 pm CDT ??Register Now: https://buff.ly/iFQWmVh HalfMoon Education Inc. presents a live interactive webinar for professional growth presented by Rob McConnell, PE, SE, LEED Green Associate, vice president at WGI Parking Solutions.

Soil investigations often use a method called "Standard Penetration Testing" (SPT), where a steel rod is driven into the ground to measure the soil’s resistance to penetration. The number of blows it takes to drive the rod a certain distance is recorded, and this "N-value" helps classify the soil’s density and strength. The cool part? It’s like a mini test to see how tough the soil is, providing valuable info for engineers to build safely on that land! ??Webinar Alert?? ??

In Georgia family law cases, paralegals often assist with “equitable division” of assets, but that doesn't always mean a 50/50 split! Instead of an automatic equal division, Georgia courts divide marital property based on fairness, considering factors like each spouse’s contributions and financial needs—making every case a little different! ???? ??Webinar Alert?? ??Georgia Family Law Practice for Paralegals ??Date: Monday, March 24, 2025 ??Time: 8:30 am - 4:00 pm EDT ??Register Now: https://buff.ly/9siGkzP HalfMoon Education Inc. presents a live interactive webinar for professional growth presented by Salmeh Fodor 678-904-0085, Esq., founding member of KF Law, LLC, Jenni Brown, Esq., founding partner of Brown Dutton & Crider Family Law, Gary Graham, partner at STERN & EDLIN, P.C., Christine Marie Palmer, partner at Oxendine Law, LLC, and Danny Naggiar, founding and the managing partner of Naggiar & Sarif Family Law, LLC.
