Henry Chin, CBRE's Head of Research for APAC, talks to Bloomberg's Rishaad Salamat on London's property market and why it's attractive to Asian investors.

The total area of China green buildings reached 320 million sq.m. by Q1 2015, 154 times the figure in 2008 when the first China Green Standard building emerged. More than 85% of the green area was built after 2012.
Green does not mean expensive. The incremental costs for buildings to be accredited China Green Standard are equivalent to 0.8% - 6.1% of the total construction cost in 2013, of which a considerable portion could be covered by government subsidies. With early involvement of green building consultants, a project designed on the China Green Standard can achieve LEED Gold certification with hardly any additional hardware costs.

Over the past decade the Shanghai Grade A Office Market has experienced phenomenal growth. Total Grade A office stock grew from 1.26 million sq. m. in 2005 to 5.21 million sq. m. as of 2014. During this period, the overall quality of the office stock has improved substantially along with development of high specification office projects. As regional headquarters for many multinational companies as well as large domestic companies, Shanghai has one of the most dynamic office markets in China. From an investment perspective, Shanghai accounted for close to half of the nation's en-bloc office transactions in recent years. Contrary to most of the industry reports which focus on the supply-side analysis, this report looks into the Shanghai Grade A office market from a demand perspective, based on our analysis of leasing data over the last decade.
In the coming years, the growing influence of market factors is likely to lead to more effective use and allocation of land for industrial development. The upgrading of industrial infrastructure, including the transformation of industrial property and facilities, is occurring in concert with a series of economic and social transformations taking place in China. This report focuses on the opportunities and challenges facing developers looking to upgrade their industrial real estate facilities amidst the transformation of industrial parks and industry in China.
In the midst of frequent policy updates, China's manufacturing sector is facing a series of new challenges in the form of the industry upgrade, rapid evolution of domestic consumption and emergence of e-commerce. As a result, industrial real estate, as an indispensable part of the manufacturing industry, is facing significant challenges, as well as new opportunities. What is the impact of these new developments on industrial real estate in China? How should stakeholders such as local governments, manufacturers and real estate developers adapt their business model under the new policy framework? CBRE believes that in the rapidly changing policy and economic environment, industry upgrading, new standards for industrial property development and strategic planning of (business parks) become imperative. A comprehensive and holistic plan and a strong emphasis on operation will become the new normal in the future development of China's industrial real estate. We will analyze the above issues through a series of viewpoints, focusing on three major aspects of policy update, the transformation of the manufacturing sector and the transformation of the retail sector.
Poor air quality in Beijing has been the subject of much local and international scrutiny in recent years. CBRE recently completed a white paper based on an online survey and a series of interviews with industry experts and office landlords in order to gauge and study the impact of poor air quality on the Beijing real estate market. The white paper, entitled Property and Pollution: The Impact of Smog on the Beijing Office Market, analyzes how the deteriorating air quality will affect Beijing's real estate market, how occupiers and landlords will respond to this, as well as the opportunities and challenges for the city's office sector.
CBRE and Daiwa have joined forces to offer a joint view: that Hong Kong's office sector is poised for fundamental changes resulting from the Hong Kong-Shanghai Stock Connect Scheme. CBRE has, for the second time, lent its commercial property expertise and Daiwa Capital Markets' financial analysis and forecasting skills to collaborate on a report which gives investors a unique view on the significance of the Stock Connect Scheme and its implications for Hong Kong's office sector in the coming years.
CBRE Comments on Shanghai Urban Master Plan (2016-2040) (Draft)On August 22, the Shanghai Urban Master Plan (2016-2040) (Draft) was officially announced, and the Shanghai government is now soliciting public opinion on the document.
TMT Sector Emerges As Key Driver Of Office Demand In Beijing; Site Selection Largely Decided By Employee-Centric Considertations
VAT Reform Drives Rental Growth; Investment Funds Focus on Office
P2P Withdraw Continutes To Impact Office Demand; Retail Sector Shows Signs Of Demand Upturn
New Supply Volume Of Office Market Increases; Overall Rental Grows Driven By Mature Projects Upgrading
The challenge was significant, given the limited supply of office space for large occupiers in Beijing. In 2013, Alibaba appointed CBRE to assist in the search.

Classic styling with reverse pointy headstock and EMG TurboCharger!
The TurboCharger is an active 0-20dB gain boost that can send your preamp into convulsions in a heartbeat. Sculpted string-through alder body with a carved top and flame maple veneer on the Jackson DKMGT provides great resonance and is easy on the shoulder. 2 EMG HZ humbuckers crank out crunchy rhythms and soaring leads. Bolt-on rock maple neck with bound rosewood fretboard and MOTO piranha inlays.
Jackson's compound-radius fingerboard curves more dramatically at the nut for easy chording and flattens out as it approaches the neck joint for low-action bends without fretting out. With a more relaxed hand, you'll play better!

This is an amazing deal. The quality on this guitar is top notch (for the price range). It arrived in perfect condition. The neck joint is nice and tight and the reverse headstock is a nice change. I have two high end Esp LTD model guitars that cost twice as much as this and the quality on this guitar is just as good and the fretwork is actually better. I wish I would have just bought a Jackson in the first place! This price is almost half off what this guitar usually costs. It is not worth it to go for the 2006 model for twice as much just because of the active emgs. These EMG HZ H4 pickups are just a passive version of the EMG 81s. Do not listen to people that say that EMG HZ's are horrible pickups. I dont like them as much as the SD Jazz / JB combo, but they are Great. The design is identical (to emg 81s), the only difference is these don't have the preamp built it (which makes the 81s active). I have a guitar with EMG 81's that I was planning on taking the pickups out of and putting in this. I will NOT be doing that now. There is only a very slight difference in sound between the two. To me this gets rid of some of the "digital" and "sterile" sound that the active EMG's seem to have at times. The blue finish is an awesome color. It looks slightly different than it does in these pictures. The boost DOES work. To the people who say it doesn't you obviously do not know what you're doing. It is quite useful at times and a nice addition. Do NOT pass up on this deal, seriously. BUY THIS NOW. I'm playing this straight into a Traynor YCV50 Blue.

I bought this guitar for playing multi-tunings on the fly and as a back-up. Actually I bought it to play "Side of a Bullet", cause the Slipknot tuning is so drastic. Drop C# or something like that. It played great out of the box and still plays perfect.
The guitar looks so much differnet then in the picture above, its alot darker and looks alot smoother. Overall looks alot better. The pickups sound good DISTORTED but Arn't the best sounding pickups if you want a full clean sound. The turbo charger is nice and I use it more then I thought I would. I did have to take the guitar into a local music shop to get the action lowered and the pickups placed correctly but after I did that the guitar is awesome. If your into the punk/rock/Metal kind of scene then for the money this guitar is amazing.
I bought a jackson little difernt than the one shown. Mine has differen inlays, soloist head and only volume and tone control. But the hardware, the design is the same. I have line 6 15w amp and it sounds awesome with it. The frets are smooth. Man this guitar is to die for... I mean it is state of the art.... and look the price ... not bad .. i'm sure my jackson will last for years...
This is by far the best guitar purchase I've made. I've wanted a guitar with EMG's for a while. I just got this a week agao and I haven't been able to put it down. I mailnly play rock and metal but experimented a lot with this one on a clean channel it's got great tone. The body is light and easy to play. The Neck has better access to the hight frets then other guitars I own (Peavey, Fender and some others). The pick-up tone is clean with very litlle feedback at high volume (80 watts). Overall this is the Best Guitar I've bought, and at a great price!)
Ive been playing for about 3 years, on a Fender Standard Strat, and I didnt even think of getting a new guitar until I saw this one on this site, on sale so cheap. This guitar is great. The gain booster really makes my soloing stand out. I can get that screaming metal sound I love, or the fat chunky sound of some of these newer bands. I really have nothing bad to say about this guitar, other than Im having trouble finding a case to fit it. Other than that, I could not be happier with it.
i just got it today but from how long i played it i can tell how good it is. its treble boost is cool if ur n a band it helps u to go into a solo with out having to mess with the nobs to get ur volume up. the EMGz r pretty sweet tp they give u a sweet clear metal sound. but i have to say the reverse head stock is my favorite thing about it. if i chould change 1 thing it would be the color.
Even though they're HZ's the pickups on this thing sound HOT, the gainboost supercharger looks cool in writing, but has little effect on the sound, it's like cranking the gain on your amp from a 6 to an 8. This neck is one of the smoothest I've felt, and very comoforatable for lower string sweeping. The body is durable and extremely light, I expected this guitar to weight double my Ibanez s-series, but both fit like a glove over my shoulder, you don't tire from hours of play, aside from the lactic acid buildup in your wrist maybe :P I reccommend this guitar very highly, especially considering the price, MusiciansFriend does it again with their inate wholesale abilities.
This guitar is great. Almost no fret buzz, and it holds tuning well. And the third knob does work, you just have to pull on it till it clicks, then you turn it up. Turned all the way up you can get a sort of natural overdrive. So far, I've had no problems with it. Jacksons are great.
my buddy has this guitar. when we jam this thing sounds EXCELLENT. i love the color of it too. but this thing sounds soooo good. definitly good from a metal point of view. pretty good price tag on her too. i would recomed it to anyone who plays rock or metal for sure!
Unlike the previous reviewer, the "turbocharger" feature works fine. All you have to do is pull the knob up and you get an instant boost. Perhaps they need to include a note about it in the case that it comes in.Anyway, the guitar came setup pretty good considering it's from the factory. I'm still going to get it setup by a professional, but overall pretty good. This is a METAL guitar but I suppose you could probably use it for just about anything. Great value for the money - get one while you can.

Breaking News: Magic Buy-Out Glen Davis
Glen' Big Baby' Davis will not be part of the Magic roster as of Friday morning. The Orlando Magic decided to buy-out the 6-foot-9 forward after not being able to trade him before the NBA's trading deadline.
Davis did not fit the Magic's system or what they want to be about. Both parties were frustrated with each other and parting ways was best for both.
Davis can go sign with a contending team and the Magic can move on with their rebuilding process.
The Magic strive to be leaders on and off the court and Davis did not help achieve that.?Davis made headlines for all the wrong reason in November 2013 for throwing a keyboard at a local motel after being told they did not have any rooms available. The Magic dealt with the matter internally and fined him for an undisclosed amount.
Since returning from two foot surgeries, Davis averaged 12.1 points per game, 6.3 rebounds per game, 1.6 assists per game and 1.02 steals per game. In 45 games this season, Davis led the Magic in scoring?four times, in rebounding eight times and in assists twice. He scored over 20 points four times, including a career-high 33 points against Philadelphia in early December.
Once the buyout is cleared, Davis will be able to sign with any team that wants him. The speculation is that Davis will go to the Los Angeles Clippers. This is not a surprise since Davis played for Doc Rivers in Boston for several years.
With Davis gone, Andrew Nicholson and Kyle O'Quinn will be seeing a lot more minutes. This will help the young forwards get more experience and confidence, which will lead to growth.

Charles Capone is on trial in Latah County District Court in Moscow on charges of first degree murder and failure to notify a coroner or law enforcement officer about a death.
He's accused of killing his estranged wife Rachael Anderson who went missing in April 2010.
Tuesday prosecutors focused on showing the jury that Anderson did indeed go missing and that prior to her disappearance, she feared Capone. And that fear...fear changed her.
"I've described it to people as watching like when your parents go through cancer," said Anderson's daughter, Amber Griswold. "They are just suffering. She was just suffering. And she was just so sad and so upset and so confused."
The state called all four of Anderson's children to the stand, including ten-year-old Gavin, her ex-husbands' and her sister.
One witness scheduled to appear is David Stone, who's accused of playing a role in Anderson's murder and disappearance. He pleaded guilty to lesser charges in exchange for his testimony against Capone.
Testimony will resume again Wednesday morning at 9:00 a.m.

Rear Track Bar Bracket Install
New to Jeeps and this forum. Lots of great info, so I thank the group in advance of this request. First mod that I did was to remove the 3" BL (bought Jeep from a teenager), and install a RC 2.5/1.25 combo kit. Added new steering damper as well. Noticed yesterdat that I have cut into the rear driver side tire with the upper coil support so I ordered a RC track bar bracket. Questions are:
1. Any tricks to the install?
2. Track bar currently under abnormal tension, i.e., any precautions removing the bolts?
3. How much encouragement do I need to apply to get it into the new bracket?
4. Do I need to do the same with the front?
The track bar relocation bracket will allow the axle to center itself back up under the TJ once you unbolt the trackbar from its mount. The track bar is under a bit of tension at this time but it's not enough to make the job difficult or dangerous at all.
The front could use the same type of help but there is no equivilent track bar relocation bracket available for the front. Instead, an adjustable length track bar is used to get the front axle centered back up underneath the TJ.
And a big welcome to WF vonHammer! :)
1 Attachment(s)
a ratchet strap will be your friend to recenter the axle and get the thru bolt back in. I was able to install the bracket in about an hour with drilling holes and adjusting ratchet strap/jack under rear axle
Come-along and an extra pair of hands to insert the bolt as I was moving the axle made the difference. Simple 2.5 suspension, 1.25 body lift turned into that plus: new rotors & pads (since I was there), steering gearbox changeout, and track bar bracket.
Next is to get new tires (because I cut the inside of them) and wheels. This is turning into a money pit!
JEEP=Just Empty Every Pocket
So what brand track bar relocation mount is the best for a 3.5" RE spring and a 1" BL? None of them really give specs on the mounts.

He may look like Trunks, but Ackman is far from being like Trunks.
Go! Go! Ackman is a dark, perverted and downright hilarious manga-strip created by Akira Toriyama, who is most famous for his creation of the Dragonball series as well as being the chief artist for the Dragon Quest games. Go! Go! Ackman (GGA), though, was a far shorter series that was published in V-Jump magazine between 1993 and 1994 and spanned 11 total chapters (5 strips each chapter), and in later years recieved a 15 minute animation of the original story, 4 videogames (three SNES, one Gameboy) and would also be included in various Toriyama art collections (Toriyama Theater and Akira Toriyama Man-Kan Zenseki 1). The black-and-white strips from Toriyama Theatre have recieved an English fan-translation, and can be viewed for free online (links to various media are at bottom of blog).
While Ackman himself looks similar to Trunks from Dragonball Z (albeit more evil and tired), GGA is just about the complete opposite of what the Dragonball series is about. Instead of saving the world, making friends and just wanting life to be calm, GGA is about massacring humans, bottling their souls, and then selling them to the devil. And it is Ackman, gothic boy-wonder, who performs this (No surprise it didn't make it west). But the majority of murders do not come from Ackman's hand throughout the series (he's very picky about who to kill), but by his nemesis, Tensei, an angel with an all-encompassing hate of Ackman whom (accidently) shoots innocent gardeners, brings down entire buildings and sends a rocket into a schoolbus filled with children, actions that cause an all-too obvious complex for the unfortunate angel.
A variety of other characters also populate the far-too short series, and each bring a fresh blast of comedy to the relentless adventure. From a transvestite stripper to a pedophilic policeman, GGA is an uncompromising example of great, untampered humor, and it is near saddening to know that the entire GGA story and world can be fully completed in less then 45 minutes.
Damn; If only it had been a defense-less child with pigtails!
Despite its brevity as a series, GGA did spawn four videogames in its name (all four were released in under a year!), and the three SNES titles are prime examples of worthwhile imports (the Gameboy game just has "Ackman" in the name, and doesn't offer anything too exemplary). Each title offers something unique and fun to the GGA series, and are certainly worthwhile for any fan of Ackman as there is so little to munch on anyway.
Titled "Go! Go! Ackman (2, 3)," the games are 2D side-scrolling platformers similar to Bonks Adventure and Mega Man. From left to right you run, jump, and attack your way through from one end of a level to a next, with each stage generally bolstering a mini-boss and a main boss. And while your direction is always clear, the later games, 2 and 3, definitely provide more variety and spice to the overall formula, particularly in heartier backgrounds. Each game also has a story independent from one another and the series itself (the first one is mostly the manga, but adds some new content toward the end), and if you know some Japanese (advanced beginner/intermediate) you'll certainly get a delight from each titles offering, as the writing definitely captures the charm of the manga.
The later titles have far more variety in enemy types and level-design.
I won't say the games are spectacular, because they aren't. It's an all-together standard affair of platforming gameplay with some light elements of power-ups and variety sprinkled throughout (Jetpack for higher jumps, vehicle sequences, etc:). That said, while these games do not offer anything revolutionary as games themselves, they are more then adequate as games of the GGA series, and really do capture the artistic charm of Toriyama, as well as the hilarious script. Even for those who cannot read Japanese, there is a whole lot to like about these games, particularly in the really pleasing animations and character-boxes.
Together, the games are steadily similar to one another, which I guess can be chalked up to them all being made and released in less then a year. That said, 2 and 3 definitely have a certain style and overall structure that makes them stand out from being "just another" platformer, enough so that they certainly constitute an inquiry toward importing. As for the original GGA game though; it suffers from a variety of problems, particularly in its long distanced and inconsistent checkpoints, few enemy designs, and lack-of variety in overall gameplay. And while there are power-ups which change how you attack, they are scattered far too few between levels, and for the majority of the game you'll be running with the sword on your back instead of in your hand, which is always maddening.
But 2 and 3 are undoubtedly worth your time. Both games support more colorful and complete backgrounds, far richer enemies and bosses, as well as a more satisfying combat scenario which involves you always getting to use the all-too badass sword on your back that was so neglected in the first title. Not to mention that the checkpoint system becomes more reasonable. If you only are interested in snagging one of them though, the best choice would be GGA3. Everything in GGA3 is just improvements in 2's design, and the villain of GGA3 is really far more entertaining then the Heaven Metal band in 2. Afterall, who doesn't want to serve a healthy dose of ass-whooping justice to closeted, pedophilic angel policeman?
Don't tell someone's child their pretty in 'Merica!
It really is bizarre how brief the Go! Go! Ackman series is, as there is just so very much more that can be explored and undertaken. Still, at least the GGA manga and games are widely available currently, as it would truly be a shame to neglect even an inch of this stellar series. And, hopefully, Toriyama was just kidding about Blue Dragon being his last anime, as the Go! Go! Ackman mini-anime certainly makes me believe that it is a series I'd gladly watch until the day that I die (and then be sold off to devil).

Boy remains hospitalized as Erie police probe of injury continues
Erie police are still conducting interviews in their probe into how a 3-year-old boy suffered a serious head injury in late June.
The boy, whose name has not been released, remains at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC, Erie police Capt. Frank Kwitowski said this morning. The boy is in stable condition in the hospital's intensive care unit, he said.
The boy was flown to Pittsburgh from Saint Vincent Hospital after he was taken to the hospital from his home on East 38th Street on the morning of June 30, according to police. Investigators said the boy had major head trauma.

Islamic Courting
Back in May, an Egyptian professor found a loophole to allow an unmarried female to be alone in the presence of a man. All she has to do is breastfeed him 5 times. Radā is a technical term from Islamic jurisprudence meaning "the suckling which produces the legal impediment to marriage of foster-kinship". Now the good people over at Haase & Martin have come up with their own way to get under that burka.

SULPHUR SPRINGS (AP) - The northeast Texas town of 14,000 is among the vanguard of rural police departments tapping directly into advanced wireless phone networks.
Local officials say the technology eventually will let them do even more, such as send pictures of suspects directly to officers' laptops, which seemed a pipe dream a few months ago.
Armed with a federal grant and some local money, the Sulphur Springs force installed a $165,000 system from Sherman-based Skystream Technologies.
Operating over Sprint PCS' third-generation wireless network, the system allows unlimited data to flow directly into the officers' laptops for transmission costs of about $450 a month.
Assistant Chief Robert Stidham said the system lets officers get information on suspects and vehicles in seconds.
Kelly Harris, who tracks police use of data technology for the Sacramento, Calif.-based National Consortium for Justice Information and Statistics, said Sulphur Springs is part of a trend of rural departments that are dismantling their old radio networks to save money.
"The air time for the new systems is expensive, but you don't have the same infrastructure costs," Harris said. "You're using the cellular provider's towers and networks. It comes out cheaper, especially for the smaller departments."
But cell-phone networks have drawbacks. Coverage can be spotty, especially in remote towns. Sulphur Springs is 75 miles east of Dallas but is fortunate to be located along a busy interstate highway and has good coverage, police officials say.
There are also concerns about the security of information transmitted over cell-phone networks.
Joe Passanisi, senior vice president of marketing for Skystream, says his company's system in Sulphur Springs and planned for other Texas towns, including Little Elm and Wilmer, features 128-bit encryption.
Information is transmitted in packets and put back together inside the recipient's computer, so only someone with the company's software could decode messages to officers or intercept someone's driving record, Passanisi said.
Civil-liberties groups are also monitoring the way police use increasingly sophisticated technology.
Stidham, the assistant chief, said he might direct officers to randomly enter license plates of cars parked at motels in search of stolen cars.
Such a practice would be time-consuming and impractical for a dispatcher but a snap for an officer with a laptop and high-speed link to law-enforcement data banks.

Vt. senators push for Saturday mailStaff Report | February 13,2013Sen. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., and Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., were part of a group of U.S. senators to introduce a bill Wednesday to preserve Saturday mail delivery.
The measure may provide the Postal Service with new options to make money by permitting services such as notarizing documents, issuing hunting and fishing licenses, and allowing beer and wine shipments, Sanders said.
The legislation, which was simultaneously introduced in the U.S. House by Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., would also prevent mail-sorting centers and rural post offices from shutting down.
A commission of successful small business and labor representatives would be created to recommend other directions the U.S. Postal Service could pursue to remain relevant in an age of electronic mail.
Sanders said the Senate bill also seeks to repeal a 2006 law that mandated the post office pre-fund 75 years of future health care benefits for retirees over 10 years.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A pending deal between the state and federal governments will give a big boost to...

DukeImmerse: Uprooted/ Rerouted
Understand the Global Refugee Crisis.
Uprooted/Rerouted explores the dynamics of the current crisis and the challenges it poses for refugees, host communities and international law. It aims to offer concrete research-based interventions to address both the causes and consequences of this crisis. Duke students and faculty collaborate both with refugee communities and international, national and local NGOs working with these communities. Working from a variety of methodological, theoretical, disciplinary and political perspectives, participants address a single research question: how does displacement affect the well-being and the social identity of those displaced?
The Spring 2016 students will be traveling for their month of field research from mid-February to mid-March. Check their letters home for updates on their time collecting refugee narratives.
DukeImmerse:Uprooted/Rerouted students work together through a semester of four classes and with a month of field research abroad.
Uprooted/Rerouted in its first two years involved a systematic comparison of Bhutanese and Iraqi refugees, two of the three groups the U.S. State Department and Office of Homeland Security have specially targeted for resettlement, and the two fastest growing refugee populations in Durham and surrounding areas. In 2014, as part of the Bass Connections working group in Displacement, Resettlement and Global Mental Health, Syrian refugee populations were included as well.
The Bhutanese were expelled from Bhutan two decades ago, lived in poverty in refugee camps, are largely illiterate, mostly don't speak English, mostly come from agricultural backgrounds, and tend to convert from Hinduism to Christianity just before or after resettlement. The Iraqis left only recently, spent little or no time in refugee camps, are solidly middle-class, highly educated professionals, speak fluent English, and don't tend to convert. How do these factors affect the likelihood of successful resettlement?

Come to Kent between 23rd Sept & 9th Oct for unique beers made with fresh, green, undried hops.
Kent Green Hop Beer is beer made with fresh, or green, Kentish hops – instead of using hops that have been dried as is more traditional in brewing. The beers have a characteristic fresh taste because the hops used contain many of the oils that are normally lost when hops are dried. We make sure the hops are as fresh as can be by using them within 12 hours of being picked.
Kent Green Hop Beer Fortnight usually officially begins at at Canterbury Food & Drink Festival this year on Friday 23rd September 2016. This the only occasion and location when all (or nearly all!) Kent Green Hop Beers will be available in the same place at the same time. Select pubs throughout the county will also be stocking Kent Green Hop Beers, see our Where to drink page. Breweries in East Kent are also holding another Open Day for 2016 so you can drink Kent Green Hop Beer with the people that make it.

It's summer! I know this not because of the record temperatures or the fact that my local elementary school will no longer accept my kid if I try to drop her off there. No, I know that the season is official because the Steam Summer Sale began this week and the Internet is alive with the sound of gamers squeeing with joy and asking if Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 is worth two and a half bucks.
For those of you who don't know, Steam (http://www.steampowered.com) is an online store that lets you buy digital copies of video games for your computer. The curators of this store have made a habit of putting on a big sale twice a year, and I always find it interesting to examine the psychology on display in their marketing tactics. I could write half a dozen articles on topic, but in particular I was interested to see how this year Steam is doubling down on what psychologists call the scarcity effect.
When something is scarce, it automatically becomes more desirable to us than it would be if it were available everywhere we looked. This "available in limited number" trick shows up everywhere from collectible trading cards to special "limited" editions of new game releases. Ever noticed a storefront that had a "going out of business!" sign in the window for months on end? That's the owners trying to capitalize on the scarcity effect. Buy now, sucker, or it'll be gone!
Consider a simple 1975 experiment by psychologist Stephen Worchel to provide an illustration of this concept involving baked goods. Posing as a consumer products survey, the experimenters offered each subject a chocolate chip cookie from one of two jars. One of the jars had many cookies in it. The other had only a few. Of course, people reported the cookies from the mostly empty jars as more delicious, more desirable, and more expensive. This despite that the cookies in both jars WERE THE SAME COOKIES.
But Steam and similar download services sell digital games, right? They're not cookies that are about to disappear, there is literally an UNLIMITED SUPPLY of the 1s and 0s that comprise these digitally distributed games. True, but the scarcity effect still applies, because it's not so much the scarcity of the physical product that we react to, but the opportunity to buy it.
The Steam Summer Sale invokes the scarcity effect by being a limited time event that only runs July 12 through July 22. On top of that, many of the items on sale change every day, so if you see a game you want, you'd better act now. But on top of THAT, Steam is TRIPLING down by offering "Flash Sales" that only stick around for a paltry 8 hours or less with the text "Short Deals. Get 'em while they last!" Then it really turn the screws by posting a countdown timer next to each deal.
It's a very well established fact that humans hate losing choices once we perceive having them. Any other day you might not buy Super Street Fighter IV even for ten bucks, but threaten to raise the price on you in six more hours and suddenly people are considering it for a lot more because we're simply averse to losing the chance to get it for cheap.
So, well played Steam, well played. Now shut up and take my money. And I'll be back in 8 hours.
Did you like this article? Weird. But if so, you can follow me via RSS, Twitter, or Facebook to see more.

Milwaukee bands get their own stage at SXSW 2014 in Austin, Texas
PHOX frontwoman Monica Martin had one realistic goal for the band's trip to Austin, Texas, last year during the South by Southwest Music Conference and Festival: eat some good tacos.
That happened, but while in Austin, the Madison band also met Christian Greene with Onto Entertainment, who would become its manager.

In Mengestu's "All Our Names," new stories vie with old histories
One of the two narrators of "All Our Names," Dinaw Mengestu's third novel, is a twentysomething Ethiopian man born with 13 names, reflecting his family's rich history. As he is now rootless and that history is largely irrelevant, we never learn any of them; among his many aliases, the one he uses most is Isaac.
The second narrator, a very rooted 30-year-old social worker in a "semi-rural Midwestern town" — located somewhere between Chicago and St. Louis and dubbed Laurel — is an unmarried white woman named Helen; she still lives with her mother and has never traveled farther than St. Louis. »Read Full Article
Listening to Lou Reed: 'New Sensations'
On Fridays I'm posting my thoughts on Lou Reed's solo albums, one album at a time in chronological order of release.
Released in 1984, "New Sensations" was Lou Reed's peppiest album since "Coney Island Baby," and very much a pop-rock album, too. It's so upbeat in spots a Reed fan is tempted to wonder what happened to Lou. »Read Full Blog Post

Present Music, Danceworks give devil his due in 'Temptation's Snare'
Present Music is the headliner for "Temptation's Snare," playing this weekend at Next Act Theatre. But the final result is such a fusion with dance and theater that the outstanding septet of musicians often winds up in a supporting role.
The scenario makes perfect sense for Present Music: Take Stravinsky's classic "A Soldier's Tale," written nearly 100 years ago but still forbiddingly modern in the minds of too many concertgoers. (Sometimes it is performed with narration and dancers, sometimes without.) Add in "Histories," written two years ago to complement the Stravinsky by Sleeping Giant, a Brooklyn-based collective of six young composers. »Read Full Article

the sentences marked with "quotations" and a (<Q) are direct quotes from someone else
Has anyone else noticed the huge push to get 3D out into the home market. And not just with 3D video games witch are just now showing up on the scene (i saw a few demonstrations of 3D video games @ Sony store) But 3D everything. Now the 3DS shows up. "You don't even need the glasses to get a headache"(<Q).
The Rant:
There was a time not too long ago when you just turned your PlayStation on, drug out the corded controller, and sat down on your couch. And played games. I will bring this up a lot in my blogs that the game industry needs to look more at the way things were instead of the future. Its a sad truth really, a year ago i would of said the exact opposite. But you start seeing things like 3D. And some of you will say" COOL, its like 3 Dimensions, but not"..... And the ones like me will say "WTF i see plenty of 3D in the real world, and i also get plenty of Migraines in the real world. I don't need both to carry over into the gaming world." The more the gaming industry looks in the future, or more specifically into newer technologies, the more they feel they must create new consoles to fit with the "trend" of gaming. I don't know about you but since when has there been a 3D gaming trend going around, its being pushed by people in the gaming industry, and the Movie industry BIG TIME. Since when has there been gaming trends at all, its not the fashion industry. In the basis form gaming hasn't changed much. OK, so maybe when you go back to the 8 bit days you will have a sustainable argument against me but still..... Overall i think 3D needs to stay in the movie theaters and out of your home. I really want to know your opinion. I know some of you will hate me after reading this but its only my opinion..... I don't criticize yours. So tell me what you think, is this push good or bad.

Handling multiple clients with TCP sockets in C?
#1 Members - Reputation: 101
Posted 28 November 2011 - 11:35 PM
I've lurked on gamedev for a while but never needed to post anything until now. My question is about reading from sockets with standard sockets in C.
Currently I'm building an online game for fun using UDP, but I want to change that since I don't want to handle ACKs and cases for lost packets etc.
So I'm looking to switch my server (written in C) to TCP. However, I'm confused as to how to handle multiple clients with TCP. I checked the FAQ and there is some useful info but I still have the same questions. Since TCP is stream-based, I can't use the packet model I had in mind with TCP. But, I want to be able to handle the TCP stream and abstract it so that the rest of my code will still see "packets" of data. The question is, with C sockets, when I do a read() or recv() from sockets, will data from multiple clients be intermixed? For example, if I do a read until I reach a "\n" character (to signify the end of a "packet"), can I assume all of it will be from one client? Maybe a better/cleaner solution with TCP is to have clients have their own sockets on separate ports?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

TCP gives you one socket per client. You'll need to read from all of them if you want to respond to requests from an arbitrary client.
Normally this is done by some kind of asynchronous polling loop. Because writing your own is a pain, most people use libevent or something similar.
It is also possible to use multiple processes or multiple threads, but for a game server it's likely to be a bad idea because you will want a large amount of shared data to be consistent.
I believe some commercial games use a "single process asychronous" design for each "zone" in the game, and have some mechanism of transparently handing off clients between them when a player moves from one zone to another. Of course this only works if the player controls a single entity or group of entities which are always in the same zone.

I am actually using c++ for my server side app, but was using C for the sockets. Looks like with the libraries you posted, I can just use the listen() function and, within a loop, use the accept() call to accept all the new requests? Then I would create a client structure of some sort that had the socket and other necessary client info? If so, sounds easy enough. Thanks for the help!

It's actually easier in my opinion. Simply put you create a listener socket and use that to handle incoming connection requests. Then you create a new socket for each individual connection. From there using the simple API's feeding in the socket (which is just an integral ID) you "talk" to each one directly. Running a simple google search for c socket tutorial will be your best start. However I highly recommend using the newer C++ technologies as they are just more stable and provide some more reliable power for high powered servers. Here is an excellent tutorial example to get you started with a C++ socket server on linux.
FYI, that link had nothing C++ specific about it; in fact, the title of that page is "C/C++ -> Sockets Tutorial. Add to it, all that code can be compiled by a C-only compiler.

SAN MARCOS - Every so often, Scott Wade will drive his Mini Cooper up and down the rough, gravelly road near his Texas Hill Country home.
But Wade isn't taking pass after pass on the inhospitable road to test his shocks or for the thrill of the ride.
He needs the dust for art's sake.
Wade, with his scraggly graying hair and a fondness for shirts with wacky prints, doesn't wash his car when it first develops a fine coating of limestone dust. For the past four years he's created art on it instead.
The self-proclaimed "dirty-car artist" uses typical tools such as brushes to "paint" surprisingly detailed works on the rear windshields of his Mini and Mazda.
But this isn't the "Wash me now!" or team mottos that grace dusty jalopies all across America. Wade has painted a good likeness of the Mona Lisa, superimposed over a replica of Van Gogh's "The Starry Night." Less high-fallutin' is his rendition of the black-velvet classic of dogs playing poker. Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus" is also represented in the dusty canvas of a car windshield.
Rather than applying paint or charcoal to his "canvas," Wade, 48, reveals the glass windshield and dark interior of the car by removing dust.
"Every time they see a window, people can't resist," said Wade, who lives with his wife, Robin Wood, and daughter in the hills near San Marcos. "I've always drawn pictures on dirty windows."
But Wade's first drawings turned out simple and cartoon-like because he used his finger. Then he experimented one day with a frayed Popsicle stick and he realized he could get a whole range of gray tones to create more complex pieces.
"It wasn't a conscious decision to develop a new art form," he said. "It was just looking for art in everything."
It takes about two weeks with little rain to develop what Wade calls a natural canvas, which has a layer of dust that doesn't blow away because it's caked on with the help of morning mist.
But if he feels a calling sooner, he spends some time driving in the car on the local roads to fill in the gaps. He can also coat the windshield with vegetable oil so dust sticks faster or apply a dust-like substance called pyrolite.
Most pieces take an hour or less, depending on the quality of the canvas. Even a natural canvas, which Wade considers the best, can get too thick and clumpy to work with if it's been baking in the sun for too long.
Wade periodically licks the end of his tools to get through the dust and pauses often to take in what he's done so far.
Wade, who is a graphical user interface designer by day, has also done an ode to late Texas Gov. Ann Richards and to his late collie mix, Drifter.
"There's something about doing the dearly departed that's very appropriate," he said. "It reminds me that life passes us by very quickly and we have to enjoy it while it's here."
Fans have even suggested that he offer up his services for funerals, using the ashes of someone who was cremated to create their likeness.
Wade estimates he's done 50 pieces so far. He rarely washes them off, preferring to let them fade naturally with the wind or rain. And he never tries to preserve them, except in photographs.
"You tend to keep wanting to fuss with it," Wade said. "Since it's temporary it doesn't have to be perfect. You don't have to belabor it."
Now Wade, who has a degree in art from Texas State University, is putting together a coffee table book and seeking out commercial work. He also sells a few prints from his Web site. He's already made appearances both locally and internationally.
Texas State University art and design professor Brian Row, who taught Wade, said temporary art is legitimate.
"They're really transient art which, again, artists have done," Row said.

Ah, peace and quiet in the house. Today was one of those days where the kids would not nap at the same time, Claire just played in her room through nap, but Jane was demanding to be held the whole time. We didn't get much done, but we needed a little down time after the busy weekend. On Saturday we went mini-golfing and Claire got a hole in one on her very first shot! On Sunday we went pumpkin picking after church (I feel like I might be repeating myself).
So, today we worked on Claire's costume, it is almost done, but I need to run to Walmart to pick up come felt. I have the fabric for Jane's Minnie dress, but I need to buy a black shirt and pants.
Gleason- Hi. Glad Disney was fun.
Irish- you did a nice job on the hair.
Carolyn- Long day!
So, we are bringing snack to Sunday School this week, do think I should make apple cinnamon or pumpkin pull apart bread?
I wanted to send my condolences out to Arose. I Jeter.
DH is excited that the Cards advanced and we are "watching" the game now, he is out cold, I'm here.
Claire showed me how girls kiss today. Incase you were wondering, they turn their head to the side. I think she's seem to many Princess movies.
I have an I-pod, but I'm trying to move all my music to my phone instead. One less thing to carry.
I started the couch to 5K this morning. It felt good.
Okay, I think that is all.
Sandy, mom to Claire (July '09), Jane (May '12), J.J. (January '14), Sarah and Kate (May '16).
Well I did my workout today, (hooray for getting off my fat ass) and I got Sophie's wig half done, (Would have it all done but half the time was pulling apart the first one), I got done 6 things on my to do list for today, and I'm getting to bed before 2am!!! I say a good day....
See you lovely ladies tomorrow.
After all this time..... Always!
Amandalynn, wife of Aaron, Mom of Sophia Lynn 7-8-09 and Piper Rose 8-29-12
Wow, I leave for a bit and return to so much drama.. and then the end to so much drama. You ladies move so quick, I don't know where you find the time during the day to post!
Sandy - Jarrett is doing that whole 'want to be held or I'm not sleeping' thing too. Nolan hasn't been napping (it's nice when he goes to bed without a fight at 7pm!) but he's taking one today since he was up at 5am.. and woke his little brother up at the same time. Ugh, so my day started at 5am. A good note - there wasn't a lot of traffic when I went to purchase some eggs at 5:30. Naps for everyone today! Oh, and I vote apple cinnamon bread!
Gleason - I've been to Disney twice in my life. I plan to take the kids but it is such a long (and expensive) trip for us that I won't do it until they are much, much older. My husband has never been, so that'll be fun for him too!
Sorry about the iPod.. I don't own anything i-pod, i-pad, etc. My brothers are computer geeks and they're dead-set against them. Why - I have no idea, but they are.
Can't remember anything else.. too tired. Hope everyone has a nice day.
Thanks, Sandy. He really is the heart and soul of that team... can't imagine that they won't end up swept by the Tigers since no one seems to know how to get a hit other than Ibanez. A-Rod is such an expensive joke. I can't imagine what they will do with him for the next 5 yrs.
Nothing fancy Mom of 4 :-)
"To everything there is a season." Ecc. 3:1
Ashley: I am sorry about your Ipod. Yes, if it was wet for a few hours then yeah it's probably fried. I love my Ipod it gives me peace and quiet.
I Ibanez too. He was a Phil before going to the Yankees. As a Phil he was just a solid player without any showiness.
MamaT- Hi! I'm glad I'm not the only one. Jane is such a sweet baby, but she is a little terror at night. Tonight we're trying the next size diaper to see if that helps.
Sandy, mom to Claire (July '09), Jane (May '12), J.J. (January '14), Sarah and Kate (May '16).
Sandy - yes, Jarrett is an awesome baby too. He is always out by 7:30 (generally closer to 6:15 or 6:30) and likes to be in bed for 12 hours. He does get up to eat during the night, but usually goes right back to sleep for me. He wakes up cooing and smiling so it's hard to get mad about being up so early. He is currently only taking 3 - 30 minute naps a day though.
Deb - yes, I finally got the time to poke around and figure out how to do it! Look at me go!

The Iraqi writer Faleeha Hassan liked an American friend's recent suggestion to collaborate on a poem about peace - until she realized she knew too little about the subject.
"I don't live with peace," Hassan says. "I live with horrible things, with death, with children who are killed for no reason. I live with war."
No longer: Since 2012, Hassan and her two children have been living in Gloucester County. They were resettled in Washington Township by Catholic Charities, Diocese of Camden, after fleeing Iraq for Turkey in 2011.
"My [published] work gave me trouble," Hassan explains, her English effortful, but expressive. "My name was on a death list. I was afraid for my children. In Turkey, when I spoke to the U.N. [High Command for Refugees], I said, 'Give me any place far away.' They said, 'You should go to America.' "

I thought my rebuttle on religion was very good yet...no one has yet made reference to it...
Life begins with L.I.
I suppose I'm a stereotypical "believes in science not religion" type of person. I study astrophysics, so I'm always facing questions like how did the universe begin, how will it end, etc. Some people say the universe is so beautiful and so complex, hence they say this means there must be a God who created it. I think of it like this: why should beauty and complexity imply a God must exist? Thinking about it for a statistical point of view, there's a chance the universe could have just came together the way it did without any interference. Regardless of whether it was created by God or just randomly came together like it is, the universe is still beautiful and complex.
Anyway, does it really matter if I believe in something? There are so many religions out there that all contradict each other that I wouldn't have the slightest clue about which one is "right". But would a benevolent God really judge a person differently just because they didn't believe in the "right" religion, or even the right sect of a religion? Speaking of which, why are there so many Christian sects? It's like every minor disagreement leads to a new denomination being set up.
I never add friend codes.

COLUMBIA -- Voters, need a ride to the DMV for a photo ID? Gov. Nikki Haley's got you covered.
Haley said critics of the law she signed in May to require voters to bring picture ID to the polls wanted to make an issue where she said she saw none. So, she's decided to call on the Department of Motor Vehicles to give voters a ride on Sept. 28 to their local offices to get a free South Carolina ID card.
An estimated 178,000 registered voters do not have a state-issued photo ID, and some are concerned the new law will stop individuals, especially minorities and the elderly, from voting. The law will not go into effect until the U.S. Department of Justice gives its approval, which is expected before the end of the year.
To vote under the new law, an individual will need a driver's license, a state-issued ID card, a military ID or a passport. New voter registration cards with picture IDs are also planned but are not yet available.
"What I said was, 'If we have to take you ourselves, we are going to make sure that you have the picture ID you need to vote,' " the Republican governor said. "Our goal is to make sure we have more people voting rather than less."
Individuals who want a ride can call 1-855-StateID through Sept. 22, said Kevin Shwedo, the director of the Motor Vehicles Department. Over the phone, state officials will go over the documents an individuals needs to get an ID card, which are free to those 17 and older. Those documents are a birth certificate, a Social Security card and a document, such as a utility bill, with the individual's name and address for proof of residency.
For those that lack one of those documents, Shwedo said the DMV officials will discuss how they can get them. Once they have all the documents necessary, the DMV will give them a two-hour window for when they can expect to get picked up on Sept. 28.
Haley said she expects the cost of the DMV rides to be minimal. It will take staff time and fuel costs, but just how much will depend on the demand, Haley and Shwedo said.
