ter 20 years of unemployment due to an injury he sustained as a dockworker. He had loved the work, especially interacting with customers, and earned good money: By taking as much overtime as he could get, he made about $53,000 a year, along with benefits.

“It was the best thing I ever did,” he said. “I felt like a man again.”

The job evaporated overnight when the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, struggling during the coronavirus pandemic, decided in June to move up its plan to lay off nearly 500 toll workers and replace them with electronic tolling. Dismissals planned for early 2022 instead went into effect immediately, a move that the commission said would help the system financially accommodate weaker traffic during the economic downturn.

The United States may be witnessing the bleeding edge of a labor force shuffle that often occurs during recessions: Employers who have been forced to cut workers turn to existing or new technology to carry on with less labor. But this time the shift could be magnified by a wave of forced layoffs at the start of the pandemic and by the fact that demand in some cases came back before em-

WASHINGTON — The House impeachment managers issued a surprise request on Thursday for Donald J. Trump to testify in his Senate trial next week, making a long-shot attempt to question the former president under oath about his conduct on the day of the Capitol riot. It was quickly rejected by his lawyers.

In a letter to Mr. Trump, Representative Jamie Raskin, the lead House impeachment prosecutor, said the former president’s response this week to the House’s charge that he incited an insurrection on Jan. 6 had disputed crucial facts about his actions, and demanded further explanation.

“Two days ago, you filed an answer in which you denied many factual allegations set forth in the article of impeachment,” wrote Mr. Raskin, Democrat of Maryland. “You have thus attempted to put critical facts at issue notwithstanding the clear and overwhelming evidence of your constitutional offense.”

He proposed interviewing Mr. Trump “at a mutually convenient time and place” between Monday and Thursday. The trial is set to begin on Tuesday.

But Mr. Trump’s lawyers, Bruce L. Castor Jr. and David Schoen,

The House voted 230 to 199 to remove Ms. Greene from the Education and Budget Committees, with only 11 Republicans joining Democrats to support the move. The action came after Ms. Greene’s past statements and espousing of QAnon and other conspiracy theories had pushed her party to a political crossroads. The vote effectively stripped Ms. Greene of her influence in Congress by banishing her from committees critical to advancing legislation and conducting oversight.

The order came on the night of Jan. 12, days after a new outbreak of the coronavirus flared in Hebei, a province bordering Beijing. The Chinese government’s plan was bold and blunt: It needed to erect entire towns of prefabricated housing to quarantine people, a project that would start the next morning. Part of the job fell to Wei Ye, the Ice burial process owner of a construction company, which would build and install 1,300 structures on commandeered farmland.

Everything — the contract, the plans, the orders for materials — was “all fixed in a few hours,” Mr. Wei said, adding that he and his employees worked exhaustively to meet the tight deadline. “There is pressure, for sure,” he said, but he was “very honored” to do his part. In the year since the coronavirus began its march around the world, China has done what many other countries would not or could not do. With equal measures of coercion and persuasion, it has mobilized its vast Communist Party apparatus to reach deep into the private sector and the broader population, in what the country’s leader, Xi Jinping, has called a

WASHINGTON — President Biden on Thursday ordered an end to arms sales and other support to Saudi Arabia for a war in Yemen that he called a “humanitarian and strategic catastrophe” and declared that the United States would no longer be “rolling over in the face of Russia’s aggressive actions.” The announcement was the clearest signal Mr. Biden has given of his intention to reverse the way President Donald J.

hacking of the United States government. Saudi leaders knew that the move was coming. Mr. Biden had promised to stop selling arms to them during the presidential campaign, and it follows the new administration’s announcement last month that it was pausing the sale of $478 million in precision-guided munitions to Saudi Arabia, a transfer the State Department approved in December over strong objections in Congress. The administration has also announced a review of major American arms sales to the United Arab Emirates. But Mr. Biden’s order on Thursday went further, appearing to also end providing the Saudis targeting data and logistical support. It was not only a rejection of Trump administration policy but also a reversal of American support for the Saudi effort that dated to the Obama administration — and that Mr. Biden and his newly appointed secretary of state, Antony J. Blinken, helped formuContinued on PageA12 STEFANI REYNOLDS FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES President Biden shifted course on two thorny issues on Thursday.

THEY NEED SPACE! THEY NEED RESPECT!

Demands

It needs a certain space for people to complete a sense of ritual and heal the trauma. Become a monument, a new urban space. We need to deal with the general process after a large number of sudden deaths with high efficiency.

Problems

Basic typology Ventilation system

Ice Burial Treatment Unit Transportation Core

Interior View

Two different functional blocks are connected by pipes. In addition to the important function ues of handling corpses, they are also responsible for the transmission of electric energy and the living materials needed by the staff. At the same time, such isolation measures are conducive to the elimination and investigation of the virus.

There are two sources of building energy, one is solar energy above the sea, the other is geothermal energy at the bottom of thr sea. Through these two kinds of energy to generate electricity, the electric energy continues to the center position and becomes lager and larger.

Energy Loopbast

Conversion of tidal energy into electricity The circular tube uses the electricity converted from geothermal energy to generate liquid nitrogen

Electricity transmission through geothermal heat The cold sea water effectively reduces energy consumption for corpse preservation

Stage 1

Main Building

The open caisson method is used to make the foundation into the seabed rock layer to build the core. Then the main building (interior underwater and the part above water) built.

Stage 2

Adding Piplines

After that, Piplines for transmitting corpses can be attached to the main building.

Stage 3

Adding Ice Burial Units

Next, the ice burial treatment units can be added against the piplines so that corpses could be treated after transmitted easily.

Stage 4

Adding Freezer Units

Then, by connecting the support framework, the freezer units can be attached to the main building. At this stage, a set of funeral processing line is formed.

Stage 5

Growing

Finally, this building can grow continuously for the pandemic outbreak because of rapid assembly and rapid processing strategy. Each units can be connected mutually which is easy to grow underwater.

Typology Combination

One of the aim of this project is to "dispersal", which means dispersing the people from old town to new town. Using this graphic can figure the locations of each scenic spots and the distances between the site and each scenic spots. Coinsidently, the site is on the green ring which surrounds old town. Jogging and taking a walk in the early morning and evening are part of their lives of Suzhou residents live here. Green ring also block the old town. Open and extend it could be possible.
