During summer (the second half of July to September) it is possible to get a tan. By standing in a clear sun long enough, the player's skin will go up through levels. There are 5 different levels, each one having a darker tan than the other. The tan, however, will appear the following day.
Getting a tan in Animal Crossing: City Folk[edit]
One can get a darker tan in the summer by walking anywhere in the sun for long enough. If players have the darkest tan (Level 5), it will stay Level 5. But if they take a break and avoid the sun, the tan disappears a bit every day. Also, a tan begins to disappear on rainy or cloudy days. There are five levels of a tan, each one darker than the last.
The player can get a tan from July 16th to September 15th. The game has to have a clear sky outside, and it must be during daylight hours (when the clock on the upper left-hand corner of the screen has a full picture of the sun, which should be between 8 AM and 5 PM, depending on the time of year). The only thing that stops a tan from appearing is an umbrella.
The second option to get a tan is to use a Mii Mask with the chosen skin tone at Shampoodle.
A tip for knowing if one is actually tanning is to make a plain pattern that is skin colored (Palette 10/16) and wear it as a shirt, in the sun. If the character's skin is becoming darker than the shirt, there is a tan, and it will becomes more noticeable after approximately 2 to 3 hours.
Animal Island[edit]
During the winter months, it is still possible to get a tan by taking Kapp'n's boat to the island in Animal Crossing. The restrictions seem to be the same. Note however that the islander on the Game Boy Advance is not affected.
Tips and warnings[edit]
Preventing a tan[edit]
To remove a tan, the player should go out with an umbrella or avoid daylight. Drastic measures include time traveling or staying off the game for long periods of time. In WW and CF, hats are unable to prevent tanning, but in NL, wide-brimmed hats have been proven to prevent tanning.
Removing the tan[edit]
- When going outside on sunny days, the player should use an umbrella to block the sun.
- The player shouldn't stay too long outdoors on sunny days. If it is raining, the player cannot tan, so the player is safe then. The player can also play at night to avoid tanning further.
- Tans will fade after a while, and with some help, it will eventually disappear.
- Players can stay in a building or animal's house for about an hour. Then they should save, turn off the game, and then time travel to the next day. If it is repeated enough, the player's tan should start to fade.
Keeping the tan[edit]
- In the afternoon, 3pm is the best time for tanning.
- (For Nintendo DS) If one decides to leave one's character outside for a tan, the Nintendo DS must not be in sleep mode.
- The time should be between 16th of July and 15th of September, between 5:00 am and 8:00 pm

The most significant fact about the British General Election of 2001 was the record number of people who refused to vote. In reality it was the lowest ever turnout since the great majority of adults were enfranchised at the end of World War I. People's Power do not flatter ourselves that we were instrumental in bringing about this positive result. Rather it was caused by significant social changes that have occurred in British society – and the other advanced capitalist societies – during the last half century.
The great mass of the people have a much higher educational and cultural level than did previous generations. The enormous expansion of further and higher education and the mass of information and ideas provided by the mass media means that people are far more questioning and critical than in the past. Of course, we recognise that education and the media are important agents of social control for the bourgeoisie but they are two-edged swords. Simultaneously they both uphold and undermine the capitalist system. One unintended consequence is the fact that more and more people are seeing through the fraud of bourgeois parliamentary democracy.
Many bourgeois politicians, Trotskyites and revisionists try to depict electoral rejectionists as irresponsible and ignorant. People's Power know from our public campaigning that this is not true. We encountered many people with a keen interest in politics who were making a considered decision not to vote. Some of them were old socialists who had spent a lifetime trying to bring about real, progressive changes in society by means of the ballot box but whose bitter experience had taught them that this road to socialism is a dead end. Others were younger people who felt insulted and are repelled by the cynical, manipulative opportunism of the main political parties. Their rejection of the electoral farce shows that it is the Labour, Tory and Liberal politicians who are the dupes – of the ruling class – and not those they would seek to deceive. The truth is that there was more mindless, blind habitual behaviour among those who loyally plodded into the polling booths than among those who refused to be demeaned in this way.
At the same time the Trotskyites and revisionists were horrified at the prospect of people rejecting bourgeois "democracy" in general and the Labour Party in particular. On the one hand there was Arthur Scargill's Socialist Labour Party which wants to take us back to the time when coal was king and so was Arthur. On the other hand was the Socialist Alliance which put forward an unashamed Old Labour platform in opposition to New Labour. Neither faction even raised the question as to whether or not the road to socialism lay through bourgeois parliamentary elections. Both claimed that if only people like them were elected to Parliament then everything would be different. Paul Foot, a prominent figure in Socialist Alliance, made it quite clear that the aim of SA was simply to give Labour "a sharp and painful kick up the backside from the left" to encourage the Labour leaders "to change direction" (The Guardian, 25/05/01). In Nottingham East on the eve of the election the SA candidate Peter Radcliff – who boasted about his twenty-eight year membership of the Labour Party – issued a leaflet to assure potential supporters that a vote for him would be no threat to Labour. The Boy Trotskyist said "Could voting Socialist Alliance let the Tories in? Not a chance!" Foot and Radcliff gave the game away by making it clear that the aim of SA is not to form a serious alternative to the Labour Party but simply to try to get it to return to Old Labour policies. Pigs might fly! The ardour of the Trotskyites and revisionists for Labour is as strong as ever despite the fact that for decades the Labour Party has rudely rejected their professions of love. Now that New Labour has found a much more attractive suitor – the bourgeoisie – than assorted leftists, they are even less likely than before to be impressed and swayed by SA and the SLP pretending that they have lost interest in the former object of their desires. The truth of the matter is that far from the SLP and SA being new, radical departures they are a desperate and pathetic attempt to return to the social democratic past. As the masses increasingly reject the fraud of bourgeois democracy the Trotskyites and revisionists desperately try to push us back into the stifling embrace of the bourgeoisie and their functionaries.
Many people who have reached the conclusion that voting in bourgeois elections is a waste of time reasonably enough raise the question of what they can do instead. The obvious answer is that only a revolutionary, socialist solution will deal with the real problems we face. A common response to this suggestion is for people to say that this has been tried – in Russia, China, etc. – and does not work. The truth is that the first wave of socialism in the world has been defeated. But the material conditions of capitalism that give rise to the need for socialist revolution still exist in a very fundamental way. At least one half of the world's population are either actually starving or suffering from malnutrition. People in the advanced capitalist countries who do not suffer from the most basic material deprivation are still subject to considerable oppression and exploitation. The hard-won reforms in education, health, social security and services are under attack and being whittled away by governments serving the interests of the ruling class. The need for socialism, for a society where the great mass of people exercise power in order to build a life where the old inequities and distortions are abolished, is greater than ever before.
In fact, the question of democracy is central to the socialist critique of contemporary capitalism. The literal meaning of democracy is 'rule by the people', something that growing numbers of people realise is not brought about by bourgeois parliamentary democracy. The central concept in the Marxist critique of class society is alienation: our collective loss of control over our lives. The paradox of existing human societies is that although they are created and sustained by the conscious actions of human beings it is not we who control the social system but it that controls us. This is so even for the capitalist ruling class who find that despite their best efforts they are unable to prevent the periodic recessions and slumps that are a structural feature of the capitalist system. The main aim of the Marxist revolutionary project is the liberation of human beings from alienation, of us collectively gaining conscious control over the direction our lives are to take. In this sense, the democratic project and the Marxist revolutionary project coincide and are thus essentially identical.
In those parts of the world dominated and exploited by imperialism – great parts of Asia, Africa and Latin America – the classical Marxist analysis which proclaims the necessity of revolution is as valid as it ever was. But in the advanced capitalist countries the socialist critique is in urgent need of development. While material inequalities are as great as ever in these societies it is also the case that the sort of absolute material deprivation that is all too common in the rest of the world largely no longer exists. The problems people are confronted with in their daily lives are not so much ones of quantity but rather ones of quality. For example, most people have the use of a motor car but road congestion makes them increasingly limited as effective means of transport.
One of the central problems people are confronted with in the advanced capitalist countries is that of work. Marxists claim that it is through productive activity – praxis – that people change the world and in doing so change themselves. The root of alienation is our lack of control over this process which is the very one that determines our humanity. Nowhere is this more clear than in the societies of advanced capitalism where work has taken on the character of a disease. Although the forces of production – technology and human knowledge and skill – are extremely advanced we are working more hours than has been the case for many decades. Half a century ago the typical family was sustained by one wage earner but now both partners are usually working and often the children have part-time jobs as well. The typical household is engaged in vastly more hours of paid labour than a generation or two ago. At the same time material standards of living have risen but nonetheless a lot of people's earnings go into buying goods and services that they have no time to provide for themselves because they are spending so much time working. Hours of work have been rising and working conditions have been deteriorating. Far from providing an age of plenty and leisure as its apologists promised, capitalism is producing poverty on a hitherto unprecedented scale for at least half the world's people while generating working lives of futility for many of the rest as they are forced to remorselessly engage in meaningless and worthless activities such as trying to sell each other things they neither need nor want.
In order to renew the revolutionary socialist movement we need to renew and develop the revolutionary critique of all existing things. People's Power aims to encourage such theoretical and practical criticism. We welcome your contributions to this essential project.

One of the things that is definitely a must-do when you visit Korea is to go to one of their relaxing spas, or jimjilbangs. The one we went to was definitely special, as it's located on top of Dalmaji Hill, known for its beautiful views of the ocean, especially in the spring, when the cherry trees are in full bloom. Jimjilbangs are very cheap and for about 10,000 won (less than ten dollars), you can even spend the night here (albeit sleeping on a heated floor with a very small pillow). However, if you only opt for spa experience it's likely that you'll pay even less than that. At the entrance, we were given our jimjilbang clothes (big and comfortable) and a couple of towels (which you can fashion into a sheep-like shape to wear of your head) and then it was time to separate, as the baths area is gender-segregated – and yes, you have to prepare to be naked once you enter here. Before entering the bath, make sure to shower, as locals tend to frown upon going into the bath as is. For extra 20,000 won, there was also the option of a full body scrub provided by an old lady with mittens standing in the corner, but I definitely wasn't ready for that. Once the bathing time was finished, I put back my spa slacks and went to reunite with my boyfriend in the spa/communal area. Depending on the spa you go to, this is where you will also have numerous additional facilities – cafe, restaurant, karaoke room, fitness rooms and others. Some people just choose to lie on a mat and fall asleep, which is exactly what I did. Money well spent!
Insider Tip
If you can, go on work days – it's usually cheaper and less crowded.

As he watched Many Pacquiao come up on the questionable end of the judges' scoring in a title bout Saturday night, former LSU defensive standout Patrick Peterson was among the many from around the sports world sounding off on Twitter about the blown call. In doing so, Peterson dug up some dirt from the past about a time he felt he was on the wrong end of a poor moment in sports officiating.
That moment Peterson is recalling took place in 2009, with No. 9 LSU looking to pull an upset of No. 3 Alabama. With about six minutes to play in the fourth quarter in Tuscaloosa, Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy appeared to be picked off by Peterson with an incredible effort to keep not one, but two feet in play with possession of the football. The play was called an incomplete pass.

Week 1 Big Ten schedule highlights
11:54:00 AM Big Ten No comments
Photo Credit: Geno Green
While everyone enjoys the fruits of summer vacations across the country, the aroma of charcoal grills and tailgates on Saturday afternoons in the fall are closer than you think as the first full weekend of games begin on Sept. 1.
Here are some of the key Big Ten non-conference games to watch for:
LSU vs Wisconsin at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Sept. 3, 2:30 p.m., ABC
The highly touted SEC/Big Ten debate usually gets settled in head-to-head meetings during bowl season, but things begin right out the gate with the Tigers and the Badgers.
Throw in the bonuses of these two playing at legendary Lambeau Field in Green Bay and ESPN's College Gameday appearing on-site that day and we have ourselves a de facto New Year's Six game to start the season.
Despite 10 wins in 2015, the Badgers look to start 2016 on a good note after losing to another SEC school in Alabama 35-17 to begin last season.
After being ranked as high as No. 2 in the College Football Playoff rankings, LSU finished 2015 losing three of its last five games and calls for coach Les Miles to be fired.
Both teams have plenty to prove in the opener and a win will go a long way in impressing the pollsters across the country short-term.
Hawaii at Michigan, Sept. 3, 11 a.m., ESPN
The Michigan Wolverines come into the 2016 season with lofty expectations after a 41-7 drubbing of the Florida Gators in the Citrus Bowl on New Year's Day.
However, this matchup will be the only game on opening weekend where a team will have played in the prior week in the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (vs California, Aug. 26).
No matter how many fall practices occur, there is nothing like live game film to evaluate and Michigan should have an advantage in that department.
Expect the Wolverines to come away with a win, but do not be surprised if the final score is a bit closer than expected.
Oregon State at Minnesota, Sept. 1, 8 p.m., BTN
Oregon State's Gary Andersen returns to familiar territory as the one-time Wisconsin coach returns to TCF Bank Stadium to take on Minnesota.
Both teams could be sleepers in the Pac-12 and Big Ten races, respectively and the winner could go a long way in terms of boosting morale for later games in the 2016 season.
Minnesota hosts the opening game on its schedule for the fourth straight season. The most recent opener came on Sept. 3, 2015 as Minnesota fell to TCU 23-17 in 2015.

Water is an essential element to life, but sodas and sweeteners tend to be crowd pleasers. How do you innovate, disrupt and grow in a seemingly-gated category? Just ask creator and founder of hint, Kara Goldin. A product birthed out of a personal quest has become the number one independently owned non-alcoholic beverage company, reporting $100 million in sales in 2018. Below, Kara invites us to understand the tenacity, consumer awareness and purpose it takes to challenge the long-established beverage industry.
Tell us about your background and why you chose to start hint?
"I delivered the first 10 cases of hint to Whole Foods on the way to deliver my fourth child."
I was a sales executive at several tech startups and helped build AOL's shopping channel into a $1 billion business. I was taking a moment to decide my next move and I wasn't feeling 100%. I realized I had a serious diet soda habit and looked at the label one day and decided it was time to pay attention to what was going in my body. I tried plain water but I found it boring…the rest is hint history. I started slicing up fruit and putting it in my water. After a few months, I lost weight, my skin cleared up and my energy level really improved. When I realized there was nothing like it on the grocery store shelves, I decided to make it myself. I had the passion and the purpose, which were salient to success. I was totally inspired to create something that helped people lead healthier lives. I delivered the first 10 cases of hint to Whole Foods on the way to deliver my fourth child.
What's one major challenge you've had to overcome as an entrepreneur?
In the beginning, the biggest challenge was to be taken seriously even though I didn't have a history in the beverage industry. When I first started hint, I met with a beverage executive who told me unsweetened flavored water couldn't be done ("Sweetie, people like sweet"). I was determined to create an alternative to everything out there with no sugar, diet sweeteners or preservatives and we had to approach it in an untraditional way which required partners who were willing to think differently and innovate. The lesson: Never give up and never take no as the final answer. Trust your instincts, find a road, even if it's less traveled, and surround yourself with other ingenious and passionate believers.
What defining characteristics make Hint Water a Challenger?
"...we had a vision and despite being told it was impossible, we stuck to it."
We were the first beverage company to sell on Amazon and then directly to consumers on our own website. Our DTC business has really taken off this year and accounts for almost 40% of our business. We are a consumer-driven brand and want the consumer to choose where they buy our product. We communicate our irreverence in everything we do, including our website, social media, commercials, and advertising. Whether it's relaying our mission to help people lead healthier lives and drink more water without sugar, diet sweeteners or preservatives, reinforcing our mission with taglines like "Drink Water, Not Sugar," or raising awareness with deeper discussions about diet sweeteners and other sugary additives. The idea is that you can drink more water without compromising on taste or quality. We are now the #1 independently-owned, non-alcoholic beverage company in the US because we had a vision and despite being told it was impossible, we stuck to it.
How do you keep a pulse on the evolving preferences of your consumers?
I love knowing about our customers, hearing from them, listening to them and being able to talk to them with some context. We communicate on all two-way platforms including our website, social media, email and customer service channels. We know that the customers prioritize taste, they want something healthy but they don't want to compromise on taste… Our new lemon flavor, for instance, took years to get just right and when we launched a month ago, it was a huge hit. We launched our kids water earlier this year as we learned that parents were really looking for a healthy alternative to all the sugary drinks out there like juice boxes. They sold out within hours. While we don't necessarily launch exact flavors on request, we do have an ongoing dialogue with our consumers, they feel they are being heard and we have an idea of what they want.
What are the biggest changes in your industry and how are you staying ahead of them?
I think the biggest change is that massive companies are expanding into our field. Some are buying smaller companies to round out their offerings and some are introducing new products. After years of doing what we believe in (and what the major beverage companies said was impossible), we are seeing the landscape significantly expand. Water is literally running over soda and other sweetened drinks. From the perspective of our overall health, this is a super positive trend. hint has always been about great quality and great taste—our proprietary recipes will always distinguish us and our disruptive omnichannel mindset will always connect us with consumers everywhere.
So what's new for the brand?
We have just completed a total refresh of the brand. We really never had a moment before now to focus on the superficial and we always wanted to refresh the look to make it really stand out on the shelf and at the same time capture our playful independent spirit. We were inspired by nature and bold colors and we used modern and artistic interpretations of shape and character to communicate each flavor.
Of course, the mission of hint remains the same, now everything feels modern, clean and colorful. We're really making that emotional connection to the consumer with new beautiful labels, new expanded website and new subscription and rewards programs. Having that direct interaction with our customers in addition to traditional retail has really given us amazing insights.
You also expanded into a line of sun protection products last year. What led to that move?
"At the end of the day, I consider myself a consumer advocate."
I discovered precancerous cells on my face and after many visits to the dermatologist, I learned that when I used skincare products or cosmetics containing oxybenzone, the cells would grow. Meanwhile, I learned parabens, preservatives commonly used in sunscreens, have been linked to hormone disruption and breast cancer—no, thank you. I wanted a sunscreen without harmful ingredients that smelled amazing and felt awesome, too. I couldn't find it so I made it myself and used our proprietary fruit essences to scent each flavor—pineapple, grapefruit, and pear. At the end of the day, I consider myself a consumer advocate. I care about health and helping people get the healthiest product they can—without sacrificing enjoyment.
What one trait is most critical to leading a Challenger Brand?
There are always times when you are presented with shortcuts or alternatives that may be better for the bottom line, for workload, and so on but do not reflect your mission or the values that underlie it. While it's always a good idea to incorporate innovations, you don't want to do that at the expense of your purpose and vision.
What advice would you give to other marketing pioneers?
Hold onto your baby, and never let someone else's experience overrule your gut. Also, look and listen, and be open to finding a gem that could help you amplify your message even louder.

And if you wonder about those M1151, I have not found anywhere if we have the permission to retexture, but I sent a message to author and I hope he will accept, if not, M1151 will not be included.
Please understand until you have permission to do so we can not forward this project to the community on the frontpage.
In fact, you should not post images of retextured addons which still miss the needed permission. I guess the retextured units are no problem if those are just the standard BI units.
Are those M1151's from NZXshadow? You might want to drop him a PM on the BI forums if so.

The Supreme Court of Canada announced today that it has granted leave to appeal to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation et al. from the Federal Court of Appeal (FCA) in the copyright case Canadian Broadcasting Corporation v. SODRAC, 2014 FCA 84, in which the FCA upheld SODRAC's royalty on ephemeral copies made during the course of production. The dispute centres on whether the CBC and other broadcasters must pay a royalty for ephemeral recordings made solely for the facilitating the broadcast of the performance or whether the concept of technological neutrality allows them to do so without triggering the royalty.
The Society for Reproduction Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers in Canada (SODRAC) is a collective society responsible for the administration of reproduction rights in Canada. They applied to the Canadian Copyright Board to set the terms of reproduction licenses for 2008-2012 after negotiations with the two broadcasters disintegrated. The CBC and Astral had both wanted a through-to-the-viewer license which authorizes all necessary rights for downstream users, within the temporal or geographical limits of the license. SODRAC had applied for a different type of license, one where "each link in the distribution chain must acquire (and pay for) the rights to make the copies required for commercial purposes". The difference in strategies revolved around broadcasting technology which requires producers to make multiple copies of the work in order to broadcast or exhibit it. These copies are known as ephemeral or incidental copies and whether they attract the royalty is central to the dispute.
The Board had found that they could not impose liability if the Copyright Act did not or remove liability if the Copyright Act imposed it. Consequently, they could not remove the royalty for reproduction and they could not force SODRAC to change its royalty model, provided it was in accordance with the Act. The Board also found that the new technologies that required reproducing copies of the work also added value to each business and that some of the value "should be reflected in the remuneration paid for additional copies".
On appeal, the CBC argued that the principle of technological neutrality, as articulated by the Supreme Court in Entertainment Software Association v. Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada, 2012 SCC 34, (reported here) prevents SODRAC from claiming royalties on copies made purely to meet the requirements of the technological systems. In ESA, the Supreme Court had reversed decisions by the Copyright Board and the FCA, finding that the principle of technological neutrality prevented an additional tariff from being placed on downloads of musical works incorporated into a video game, as opposed to purchased through traditional means.
The FCA rejected this argument and instead applied the ruling from Bishop v. Stevens, [1990] 2 SCR 467, which upholds a distinction between the right to broadcast a performance and the right to make ephemeral recordings for the purpose of facilitating a broadcast. The Court found the facts in these cases to be directly analogous and therefore, the royalty imposed by SODRAC could stand.
The CBC and Astral also raised three other issues. First, was whether the Board failed to carry out its duty as economic regulator by wrongly deciding the questions before it, namely whether ephemeral copies had economic value. The FCA found that on the standard of reasonableness, the Board had examined all of the evidence and come to a decision within the range of acceptable outcomes in finding that they did have economic value.
Second, was whether the Board exceeded its jurisdiction when it imposed a general licence notwithstanding the Broadcasters preference for a transaction-based license. The FCA rejected these arguments finding that S. 70.2 of the Act allowed the Board to resolve disputes that the parties could not resolve themselves. However, they did amend the discount formula for calculating royalties set by the Board, which allowed for a lesser rate for Broadcasters in instances where the producer of a program had obtained a through-to-the-viewer license from SODRAC.
Lastly, was whether the Board failed to consider relevant factors when it refused to take into account the CBC's ability to pay licensing fees substantially higher than they had paid historically. This argument was dismissed summarily as the Court found it was not the responsibility of the artists to make up for any shortfalls in the CBC's budget.
The FCA also upheld the interim license which set matching royalty rates for 2012-2016 until a final decision has been rendered in this case.
The FCA, in considering the CBC's argument, stated that ESA "provides no guidance as to how a court should apply that principle (of technological neutrality) when faced with a copyright problem in which technological change is a material fact". It will be interesting to see how the Supreme Court deals with this issue and whether they deliver a clear test for applying technological neutrality in future copyright cases.

MacBook suddenly has inverted/flickering vertical strip on the screen
I have an aluminum 13' MacBook (A1278) which all of a sudden developed a 1.5' wide vertical inverted, flickering, and interlaced strip running uniformly down the screen. There wasn't any associated drop or other damage to the computer that preceded this. Of note, the left edge of the strip starts exactly at the midline of the screen and extends 3.5 cm to the right -> I'm hoping this might indicate it's a loose cable responsible for carrying the signal to that specific real estate of the screen.
Oddly enough, for the first few hours it would go away if I restarted the computer, but would reappear if I adjusted the tilt of the screen. Now restarting, jostling, shaking, etc has no effect.
Any ideas? I suppose I'll do a little exploratory surgery today and see if I can re-seat any ribbons/cables that go to the screen....I'm hoping I don't have to replace the whole thing. Any tips would be incredibly appreciated....I'm in the middle of exams, and this is not making studying very easy!
Questa è una buona domanda?
nicely stated question +
So, the signal is fine on an external monitor. I took the screen off yesterday, checked all the cables, re-seated all the connections, blew out all the dust with canned air, and put it back together. The problem persists. And it's unfortunately a few months out of warranty.
Does anyone know where the video cable for the unibody MacBooks are sold (or what it's specific name is)? I haven't been able to find any replacement parts except for the entire LCD replacement.
I had the Black Screen issue then flickering lines. Did all the solutions posted on many sites and none worked. Have got a USB self booting updated to High Sierra and then when loaded tried UNSELECTING Automatic Graphics Switching in System Prefs. My mackbook Pro 2015 is now working again without screen issues. Hope this helps.

Global shipments of smartphones with fingerprint sensors 2014-2018
Smartphone fingerprint sensors – additional information
Fingerprint sensors, which are used for authentication and mobile security, are gaining popularity in the smartphone industry. Despite existing issues regarding security and possible identity theft/fraud, smartphone with fingerprint sensors are a promising segment of this industry with significant growth projections for the coming years. Shipments of smartphones with fingerprint sensors worldwide are forecast to increase from 246 million units to more than one billion units by 2018, while the penetration rate of this type of device is expected to total 67 percent by the same year.
Only a few smartphone manufactures have explored this feature before the release of Apple's Touch ID. Apple's fingerprint recognition, Touch ID, was the first one implemented into an operating system. Announced in late 2013, Apple shipped 175 million iPhones with fingerprint sensors worldwide in 2014. By 2018, shipment of Apple's iPhone with fingerprint sensors is forecast to increase to 245 million units. Samsung, leading global smartphone vendor, is also investing in fingerprint sensors. The South Korean company is projected to nearly double its shipment of smartphones with fingerprint sensors between 2015 and 2017, and shipments of Samsung smartphones with fingerprint sensors are expected to total 228 million units by 2018.
With this projected increase in demand and popularity of smartphones with a fingerprint sensor, the average selling price of fingerprint sensors worldwide is forecast to drop from 5.5 U.S. dollars in 2014 to 2 U.S. dollars by 2020, making the technology accessible for smartphone manufactures and customers, and encouraging the production of low-end devices featuring the sensor.

1. At all relevant times, Goldman, 69, was a resident of Miami, Florida. Goldman was associated as a broker with an unregistered broker-dealer, American Capital Group ("ACG U.S.") . 2 From at least November 2010 to at least August 2015, Goldman solicited securities traders through day trading seminars he taught, as well as by offering day trading software and services. Goldman established and maintained sub-accounts for traders under a U.S. brokerage account belonging to America Capital Group LTD ("ACG Belize") held at Letsgotrade, Inc., d/b/a ChoiceTrade ("ChoiceTrade"), a registered broker-dealer based in Puerto Rico. Goldman received transaction based compensation in the form of commissions. Neither ACG U.S. nor ACG Belize has ever registered with the Commission in any capacity.2. On November 8, 2018, a final judgment was entered by consent against Goldman, permanently enjoining him from future violations of Sections 10(b), 15(a)(1), and 15(b)(6)(B) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, in the civil action entitled Securities and Exchange Commission vs. Ricardo Goldman, Civil Action Number 1:18-cv24678-CMA. in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.3. The Commission's complaint alleged that Goldman provided day traders with margin leverage, which allowed them to trade against the equity of ACG Belize's pooled master trading account. Goldman also provided day traders with equipment, office space and remote access, which resulted in at least $2.5 billion in securities transactions. During the relevant time period, Goldman received approximately $6.9 million from 77 investors, which he transferred to ACG Belize's ChoiceTrade brokerage account. The brokerage account incurred significant losses as a result of some traders' trading, but other traders shared in these losses because of Goldman's undisclosed commingling of traders' funds. Additional losses were caused by Goldman's undisclosed use of traders' funds for personal expenses. Goldman made material misrepresentations and omissions regarding the trading program and his prior disciplinary history, which included permanent antifraud and registration injunctions, and approximately $500,000 in civil penalties, interest and disgorgement, and a broker-dealer bar.
In her plea, Phillips admitted investigators found 64 tablets of oxycodone when they searched her residence. She also admitted that when investigators stopped her car they found her Derringer handgun and methamphetamine. She told investigators she was selling drugs to pay back her bondsman.

Is There Anything Left to Say About Julia Child? A Great Deal, in Fact
With The French Chef In America, readers get a fresh look at a beloved personality.
The French Chef in America: Julia Child's Second ActPublisher: Knopf
Length: 318 pages
Author: Alex Prud'Homme
Price: $29.96
Format: hardcover
Publication date: 2016-10
Is there anything left to say about Julia Child? Interested readers can pore over numerous biographies about the woman who brought French cooking to America, then turn to memoirs by her friends and colleagues. Child herself contributed the charmingly discreet autobiography My Life in France, co-written with her grand-nephew, Alex Prud'Homme. Now, 12 years after Child's death, Prud'Homme returns with The French Chef in America.
Given the above, readers may assume another Julia Child biography can only revisit well-known material. Happily, The French Chef in America does nothing of the kind. This fresh look at Child's life and work focuses on the period between the 1960's and early 1980's, an era Prud'Homme calls "Julia's Second Act: when she retooled her career, embraced her American roots, and finally discovered her true voice."
Child is famously recalled for her towering height, fluty voice, and boundless, good-natured energy. While nobody could accuse her of cultivating a public facade, Child was by nature discreet, keeping interpersonal squabbles and personal pain under wraps. Only now, when most of the persons involved have died, does Prud'Homme disclose the darker moments of his great-Aunt's life. This isn't prurience. Rather, it completes the picture of a singular, remarkable American woman.
The French Chef in America opens in 1967, with Child taping a diplomatic dinner at the Johnson White House. Permitted to visit the White House kitchens, Child peers over executive Chef Henry Haller's amazingly calm shoulder as he prepares a meal for the visiting Japanese Prime Minister and his wife. Taping completed, the Childs fly to France for a much-needed vacation.
Their rest was cut short when Child found a lump in her breast. Neither lumpectomy nor cosmetic reconstruction were commonplace in 1968; doctors treated the "lima bean-sized" malignancy by cutting off Child's entire breast. In letters to friends, Child calls the experience a "nuisance". She does not mention the hospital stay or, once home, sobbing in the tub over her lost breast.
Beginning on a such a dire note is misleading, for The French Chef in America, like its subject, is often delightful. Prud'Homme's insider proximity affords readers wonderfully detailed descriptions of the Childs and their residences, particularly their three-story home in Cambridge. On entering the house, one felt as if "...you were stepping into Paul's and Julia's conjoined brains. It was the decoration that gave that impression. The front hallway led to one of Paul's handcarved wooden chests, while nearly every wall was decorated by his etchings, photographs, and paintings."
One writer visited the house, looked around, and asked Paul Child why nobody thought to interview him.
Paul Child was a polymath -- painter, photographer, oenophile and skilled handyman. That he was utterly indispensable to his wife was no secret. He did everything from shooting Julia's cookbook photographs to washing the dishes. Naturally quieter and more retiring than his gregarious wife, Child preferred to remain in the background.
Nevertheless, Prud'Homme writes of his great-aunt: "There was a tension inherent between her wish to be a good wife and her professional ambitions. The first required selflessness while the latter required selfishness; maintaining a balance wasn't easy."
This quandary grew more difficult in 1974, when Paul Child underwent heart bypass surgery. During the procedure, Child's brain was deprived of oxygen, leaving him permanently impaired. Prud'Homme recalls visiting his great-uncle in France: slumped, silent, and grumpy, Child was given sudden, mortifying public scenes. Julia, outwardly unfazed, would calm him down. Over time, Child's health grew perilously frail, forcing Julia to place him in assisted living.
Prud'Homme also describes Julia Child's complex relationship with Simone "Simca" Beck, co-author of Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Louisette Bertholle, third author, had bowed out shortly after the book went to press. This left two highly individual, often contrasting personalities to duke it out in the kitchen.
Beck shared many surface qualities with Child. Raised in a wealthy family, she was groomed to marry well, not cook -- the family employed servants for that. The adult Beck divorced her first husband and attended Paris's Cordon Bleu Cooking School. She adored sports cars, enjoying, in her words, driving "like a demon". Happily remarried, the childless Beck devoted herself to cooking.
In My Life In France, Child says of Beck: "She was a dear friend, but horribly disorganized and rather full of herself. She didn't bother to check the copy with care (of Mastering the Art of French Cooking), which led to several difficult moments between us."
Child is being diplomatic. Excerpts of Beck's correspondence, reprinted in My Life in France and The French Chef in America are argumentative, demanding, often breathtakingly rude. To be on the receiving end of such letters demanded astonishing patience. Child maintained that patience until 1971, when Beck sent an outraged letter about basting with beef dripping, a technique she herself suggested: Ce n'est pas français! You Americans cannot possibly understand that we French would never baste with beef drippings!
With this letter, the Child/Beck collaboration ceased. Remarkably, the women remained close friends until Beck's death in 1991.
Knopf editor Judith Jones played a key role throughout. A keen home cook, Jones had lived in Paris. It was Jones who urged Alfred Knopf and his food-averse sister, Blanche, to accept Mastering the Art of French Cooking for publication. Jones went on to have a stories career as a food editor, publishing writers like Lidia Bastianich, James Beard, Edna Lewis, and Claudia Rodin. When Child and Beck parted ways, Jones helped Beck publish Simca's Cuisine. She also acted as a resource for Prud'Homme in writing The French Chef in America, which is dedicated to her.
The French Chef in America also examines Child's remarkable output over two decades. At a time when many people are contemplating retirement, Child worked unceasingly. In addition to numerous television specials, she appeared on The French Chef and Julia Child and Company. Child authored The French Chef Cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking Part II (with Simone Beck as co-author), From Julia Child's Kitchen, Julia Child and Company, and Julia Child and More Company.
Nobody is without failings. Prud'Homme describes Child's naïve reliance on trade groups like the Poultry and Egg Board for factual information. Strangely, for a woman who willingly spent hours perfecting flavors, Child supported the use of monosodium glutamate (MSG). Even more oddly -- shockingly, really -- is the couple's homophobia: "There is no simple way to explain Julia and Paul's homophobia except as a function of their generation, their ignorance, and their experience."
Prud'Homme clearly finds their joint attitude bewildering. The Childs were close friends of James Beard and Richard Olney and professional acquaintances of Craig Claiborne.
Child's attitude underwent an abrupt reversal in 1986, when her longtime lawyer, Bob Johnson, died of AIDS-related pneumonia. Johnson, only 46, had lived a closeted gay life. A horrified Child changed her thinking. She is quoted below at an AIDS benefit: "But what of those lonely ones? The ones with no friends or family to ease the slow pain of dying?"
In many ways The French Chef in America is a cook's book; nowhere is this more apparent than in the pages about Child's relationship with Jacques Pépin. Of this classically trained chef: "There was not much Julia could teach him about cooking, but there was a lot she could teach him about performing."
After an automobile accident limited Pépin's ability to stand for long hours, he turned to teaching, cooking demonstrations, and television. It was before the cameras that the more experienced Child, 23 years Pépin's senior, had something to teach him. They argued genially over food as the cameras rolled, with Child often displaying a bawdy sense of humor.
Julia Child died as she had lived, with great dignity, in her words, "slipping off the raft" two days shy of her 92nd birthday. What was to have been her birthday celebration became a wake.
This reviewer received The French Chef in America for review on 14 November 2016. Opening it in a doctor's waiting room, she nearly burst into tears. The French Chef in America opens on 14 November 1967, another world and time away. While the world was far from ideal 50 years ago, it's difficult to believe that life wasn't a little bit better when Julia Child peered over Henry Haller's shoulder in the White House kitchen while a blundering Lyndon Johnson was hosting the Japanese Prime Minister upstairs.
Everything is relative.

Lynk & CO is a hybrid of the current and the future automotive industry
When it relates to the automotive industry, we have centenary companies, such as Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz, and newer ones, such as Hyundai or Geely. Both groups manufacture cars in a pretty much similar way since their invention. As we have already described it in our collection of articles "The Car Revolution", cars are self-propelled vehicles equipped with four wheels, a steering wheel, pedals and an internal combustion engine. But we would add to that equation another fundamental aspect: cars are goods, intended to be sold. And this is what a new company called Lynk & CO intends to tackle. We have already mentioned it prior to its presentation, in the second part of "The Car Revolution", but we did not know what it was up to at the time. Now we do (sort of): it will still sell its cars, but it will also give customers the option to just use them, in a sort of hybrid model between what new and old carmakers currently are and what car companies will probably become, such as Riversimple.
In this short video, Lynk and CO let's us figure out part of its future strategy. From 1:30 on you see the company intends to offer "central brand stores, leading connectivity, home delivery, innovative technology, fixed price, subscription model, simplified product offer, service pick-up and delivery, online sales, electrified cars and car sharing".
Before we explain each and every one of these promises, it is worth explaining the name of the company, which is owned by Geely and uses a jointly-developed platform (by Geely and Volvo) called CMA. Lynk refers to the fact that the cars will be deeply dependent on an internet connection.
CO is a reference to everything the company says it relates to: COoperation, COllaboration, COnnectivity, COmmunity. All with the Latin prefix Co, which is used to indicate a complement. The car? Well, it does not even have a name. It is called 01.
Lynk & CO has already disclosed that numbers will name their future vehicles. 02, 03 and so forth until they have a complete line-up. This is probably what they mean by "simplified product offer". Considering that CMA stands for Compact Modular Architecture, the 01 will be the entry-level model. They could also offer a hatchback and a sedan, such as Volvo plans to do, but they have revealed a crossover before anything else. It will probably be more expensive than the other models based on CMA, but it has more appeal in today's market.
The new company promises "electrified cars", but contradicts itself in its own website.
"Under the bonnet you'll find the next generation of conventional, hybrid or electric engine. Leaner, cleaner, more efficient." If the cars will have "conventional" engines, the promise of electrified cars does not stand. These engines are not new at all: they are the Drive-E already used by Volvo. The only new thing about them is that Lynk & CO will have a diagnosis element created by Ericsson that will probably dismiss the need of regular check-ups. Nothing new. BMW already uses a similar system and calls it CBS (Condition Based Service).
This Ericsson telemetry equipment is only part of the "leading connectivity" that Lynk & CO claims it will offer. Its cars will also be connected to the internet at all times. And not because the hipster that don't like to drive need to watch the new episode of The Walking Dead while driving to work. In fact, it needs such connection in order to offer one of the main services from Lynk & CO: car sharing.
In the 10.1-inch screen in the central console, you can park your car and say you won't need it until 6 pm, for example. In the meantime, any Lynk & CO subscriber can get your car and drive it. You have evaluations of the subscriber and also of the car owner in order to supposedly make it more comfortable to lend your car to someone else. That, according to the company, is a way to make money out of the car instead of just wasting it on your automobile. Putting it in another way, it's a Uber without the need to drive around. The fee subscribers pay would be enough to refuel the car. But how would it come back to the point where you left it? And who would refuel it?
Lynk & CO also intends to offer its own cars to subscribers without the need to buy one. Their clients will be offered the traditional buying option, a leasing plan and also the simple right to drive the cars. This last option will include maintenance costs and insurance. You will also be able to order the car, receive it home, or anywhere else you need it, and ask for a Lynk & CO employee to take it away. Just like YOYO, with the difference that Lynk & CO also produces the cars it will use in this service.
The questions worth asking at this point are: what is the sense in buying one car that you can use by paying a monthly fee? Or, in case you decide to buy it, will you ever want to share it with anyone?
Lynk & CO has a lot of other unanswered questions to address besides these. We have no clue on the O1 technical specifications, for example. Nor on the "fixed prices" of the services the company plans to offer. Nor about anything else.
We have to say Geely has followed a wise strategy to get things going. It has created an entirely new car company to propose the new business model, so eventual damages are limited to Lynk & CO, while any success can be shared through the entire organization. But it relies on traditional ways: internal combustion engine, stamped body, sales. This attempt to be a hybrid between a regular and a new carmaker will be very complicated. Lynk & CO will have the costs of the former and the logistics complications of the latter. And it will try to conquer a customer that has no shame to say something like this: "I don't know anything about cars. I don't even want to. I've got better things to do". Seriously. They will try to sell or lease a car to this people who probably hate cars and would be much better suited with someone driving them around. That would be perfectly comfortable inside a bus or a train as long as there was Wi-Fi available. It is like trying to make Rick Martin fall in love with Portia De Rossi. Or Clint Eastwood with Jack Nicholson. It's not going to work. We all would better respect everybody's ways of living. Not trying to convert Jay Leno into a public transportation advocate, for example. So far, that is exactly what Lynk & CO seems to be trying to do. We hope that is not the case.

This economic revolution is playing out in real time. Today, they attack the budget.
The budget is built on a lie. Everything we know about the budget is wrong. Every number Josh Frydenburg laid out for us on Tuesday misses the point.
That's the word from MMT – modern monetary theory.
Ok, so we're picking up from last week and the week before. I've been explaining that the ideological dam has broken. People now realise that the tools we have for managing the economy just don't work the way we expected them to work.
Quantitative Easing (QE aka printing crap-cans of money) should have created inflation. It didn't.
So we need a new theory for understanding the economy, and with any new theory comes a new set of tools.
And as I said last week, Munters (my name for MMT proponents) believe that:
- Capacity constraints, not money, create inflation;
- Interest rates are a useless policy tool if there's no demand (looking at you RBA); and
- Governments are not constrained in the way we thought they were.
The second point there potentially kills off monetary policy and the RBA's agenda completely, but point three could be a complete game changer.
And budget night will never be the same again.
The key point the Munters make is that the way we've been trained to think about the government budget is wrong. It's the wrong metaphor.
The metaphor we've been trained to use is to think of governments as a household. Households can't live beyond their means, so neither can governments. Households have to balance their budgets, and so do governments. If households are saving money (earning more than they spend) that's a sign of good money management. The same is true for governments.
All of this is simplistic in the extreme, but Munters are also keen to point out that it's actually wrong too.
It's wrong for two reasons:
1. Governments can print money
If a nation is 'monetarily sovereign' (it has a flexible exchange rate and issues debts in its own currency), then are no hard constraints on how much money it can print. It might create inflation that way, or it might devalue the currency, but both of these things can be managed, and depend a lot on what else is happening in the local and global economy.
As Munters argue, inflation only comes from capacity constraints, not automatically out of money creation – as QE has proved.
A household obviously cannot print money to pay its debts. If I tried to pay my creditors in JonCoins, I'd probably end up in jail.
Munters argue that given this important difference, it makes almost no sense to compare governments to households.
2. Governments are not in the business of making money
Munters also argue that it's not helpful to have a government that is motivated like a household (maximising its own wealth) or a business (maximising profits.)
Here the idea of 'sectoral balances' comes in. This is just the accounting identity that if the government sector is in surplus then it is lending money to the other sectors in the economy. That necessarily means that the other sectors must be a net borrower, and must be in debt.
So a government that forces itself into surplus, forces households and business into debt.
Is that a great outcome?
And if point one above is true, it's much worse for households and businesses to be in debt since they can't print money to pay off their debts.
So while it might be nice at the individual level for governments to be running a surplus, taking the economy as a whole, it's not clear that a wealth-maximising government is that great a thing.
Not a Free-for-all
This is not to say that Munters think it is a free-for-all and that governments can do whatever they want. It is only to say that governments are not constrained in the way we thought they were – in the way that the ridiculous governments-as-a-household metaphor would have us believe.
And that means that there is a much greater role for governments to print money and support demand than we previously believed.
This idea runs totally against the prevailing economic wisdom.
But the prevailing economic wisdom has failed.
And MMT is an idea who's time has come.
I'm not arguing it one way or the other. I don't have a horse in this race. But I can see the writing on the wall. Momentum is with the Munters.
And the implications are going to be huge.
More on that next week.

In an effort to try to get back into the swing of blogging, I am going to attempt to do all four Top 5 Wednesday topics this month! I know!
If you don't know, Top 5 Wednesday is a Goodreads group currently hosted by Sam from Thoughts on Tomes. This week's topic is Top 5 favorite friendship groups, and I'm super excited about this because I love friendships in my books more than romance!
- Carmen, Bridget, Lena, and Tibby – The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares. These girls are the quintessential friend group for this topic. They were my everything as a read and re-read these books in middle school. Their characters and friendship got me through some very tough times in my life. I would binge read this series and literally as soon as I finished it, I would pick up the first one immediately and start over again. I still adore these books as much as I did then and always will. I love how different each girl is. I love how human and relatable their problems are. I enjoyed watching them change and learn both together and apart. And I love how they love each other.
- Simon, Leah, Nick, and Abby – Simon Vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli. Tbh I wish I had half of the wit of any of these characters when I was in high school. But that's besides the point. These four are precious cupcakes and I adore them to bits. They are goals. They know each other super well and the way they tease each other is so cute. They are comfortable enough to hang out with each other just in someone's house not doing anything. The way they give each other crap is endearing and makes me wish I acted like that with my friends in high school. Plus they have specific tidbits that are wonderful: Leah showing Simon Drarry fanficition, Simon and Abby singing Hamilton together in class, and so much more.
- The Fellowship of the Ring – The Lord of the Rings series by J.R.R. Tolkien. I have surprised by self by putting this all the way at number 3 on this list! These nine characters are iconic though. The film really does their relationships more justice than the books in my opinion. It just shows the nuances between each relationship; like how precious Frodo is to Sam, the long history Aragorn has with Legolas, they respect that Boromir and Aragorn come to have for one another, and more! I just love the blend of characters in this.
- Kaz, Inej, Nina, Jesper, Matthias, and Wylan – Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo. Like, duh. Do I even need to explain?! They are all precious and amazing and wonderful and give me life.
- Cammie, Bex, Liz, and Macey – The Gallagher Girls series by Ally Carter. These tiny girls are so cute and badass. They start out so young in this series, but really grow and come to terms with how dark the world can be. They all learn some impressive skills and are some of the smartest girls I've ever read about. But what's really amazing about them is how strong their friendship remains throughout all 6 books. Their friendship never is questioned, and they support Cammie (and each other) through some really tough times and intense changes & revelations. They really grow up together and it's great.

What is Green Building?
John Herbert
Buildings significantly influence our daily lives and are fundamental to our way of life. Hong Kong, as the most vertical cities in the world, is famous for its spectacular high-rises and bright lights. However, the buildings which give Hong Kong its special character can have a considerable environmental impact says the HKGBC.
What is certain, our buildings account for over a significant proportion of the energy consumption, and GHG (Green House Gas) emissions, contributing to global climate change, as well as local effects such as Hong Kong's rising temperatures, and the heat island effect in urban areas.
Hong Kong has over 70 million sqm of building accommodation comprising commercial and institutional, and residential units.
More than 63% of Hong Kong's carbon footprint is created from our buildings, and 89% of all electricity generated is used in buildings therefore we must adopt environmentally and sustainable practices to ensure long term sustainability.
We will also need to urgently and dramatically reduce our GHG (green house gas) emissions, carbon footprint and environmental degradation, to protect our environment before it is too late.
Green Building defined
There is still no universal definition for a green building, one definition offered by HKGBC is a green building is an occupied structure that is environmentally sensitive and sustainable throughout it entire life cycle. A Green Building would be:
However, the Australian Green Building Council says a green building is one that incorporates design, construction and operational practices that significantly reduce or eliminate its negative impact on the environment and its occupants. Building green is an opportunity to use resources efficiently while creating healthier environments for people to live and work in.
These differences arise because different countries and regions have different needs and priorities depending upon their local environmental conditions and circumstances. For example, in area subject to water shortage or drought, water conservation would be more important than energy consumption or indoor air quality.
And that is the crux of the green building issue, green building is a LOCAL issue, employing the USA LEED system in Hong Kong is meaningless, the same way as applying the Hong Kong BEAM to the USA, it doesnt work.
Hong Kong Water is far ahead of US and other countries in Water Aspects, our local rating system recognises sea water is used for toilet flushing covering approx. 80% of home, but other rating systems, like LEED, etc. are based on their home situation.
Minimum Building Code
Each country has its own set of local regulations governing the
basiss for the construction of buildings, usually these
regulations cover the basics, provisions for means of escape,
fire safety, structural, ventilation, toilets, drainage, lease
requirements, and the like. Collectively we refer to these as
the minimum building code to meet those LOCAL government
Obviously, if you constructed a building in Hong Kong, but followed the UK building code, it would never be approved.
However, the minimum building code generally does not include any requirements or consideration for soft factors, such as community, or sustainability, GHG emissions, or environmental impacts, and that is where green building fits.
Green Building Rating Tools
In response to lack of environment criteria, green building and
green building rating tools were create in 1995 to as voluntary
scorecare, the goal to reward developers who exceeded the
minimum building code and provided lower impacts on the environment.
That is core principle behind green building rating systems, reward improvments over and above the minimum building code requirement.
Since the rating tool is voluntary scheme, the reward is a certificate which can be used by the developer to market a project or demonstrate credentials.
Yet there are countless university papers written every year, trying to compare different rating systems which is completely futile exercise without first understanding the underlying local building code.
Rating tools often providea shopping list of targets, and these are typically organised into similar categories, Hong Kong BEAM created in 1996, uses:
and other rating tools have a similar arrangement of
Some rating tools offer compliance choices so it is possible to earn a very high score under one aspect to gain a green building certificate for a development having a significant deficit in one or more aspects.
To counter the shopping list mentaility, some rating tools provide a schedule without choice, all aspects must be achieved to earn certification.
A rating tool provides the framework for reward scheme, each rating
tool is different, typically with shopping list of environmental
targets. However, there is no universally accepted standard to
benchamrk performance, would 5%, 10%, 15% or 20% improvement be
The World Bank launched its own Green Building rating system for example setting their energy benchamark at 20% better than minimum building code.
It is worthwhile noting that some buildings, typically government buildings are not bound to conform with their own minimum building code, in the past UK and Hong Kong Government buildings claimed "Crown exemption" essential permitting construction of government buildings that avoided minimum building code compliance, therefore complicating the baseline benchmark.
What are the benefits of certifed green buildings?
Hong Kong buildings contribute more than 69% of carbon dioxide
emissions (globally the figure is approx. 40%) and 90% of the
electricity consumption, and the portion for residenial and
commercial is difficult to determine with any certainly.
Green buildings have lower energy use by 30-50%, reduced waste output by 70%, and reduced water usage by 40%.
Businesses and customers have become more socially aware, aware of the environment therefore many organisations now only take up a lease agreement within a green building and that's important for speculative developments.
In addition to lower environmental impact, owning or operating a green building also promotes your business as environmentally sensitive, a key opportunity to differentiate yourself in a crowded marketplace.
Is there any Green Building Standard?
There is no green building standard, comparison basis is used. To
establish if you're building is green or not the environmentally
sensitive building is compared with an ordinary building. If it scores
better than an ordinary building in terms of less waste, less water,
less energy, etc, it can be certified green. In Hong Kong we use a
BEAM PLUS rating tool to compare base building and green building.
However, since this is only a comparison between buildings, it changes overtime. The goals for a green building today are different and are changing. Every year, increasingly stricter higher goals are set.
Do funds prefer certified green buildings?
Yes, certification differentiates, adding value during the
leasing and disposal, some funds will only invest in green
buildings or in green RIET.
The World Bank IFC, possible the biggest fund, created its own rating tool system EDGE, targetting developing economies.
Do Green Buildings Cost More?
Yes, we have studies show that "Green Buildings" don't actually
have to cost the earth, 1-2% over and above traditional methods.
Indeed, we need more 'design' not less, what does that mean you are asking yourself, it means more time and effort should focus on the design stage to optimise the design, that might include designing out non-green features (glass), developing the design to reduce waste during construction, considering the lifetime cost instead of the first cost.
The advent of energy modelling tools permits faster deep energy analysis, to map the life cycle cost of energy improvement options and combinations of options, in the past that was an unthinkable task with millions of hand calculations.
Sustainability is not an expensive value proposition, most often the best value solutions also have secondary environmental, and sustainability benefits. For example lowering the window to wall ratio means smaller and cheaper glazing, causing reduced cooling load that results in a smaller and cheaper cooling plant, that results in smaller and cheaper electrical power switches and cabling.
The sustainability goal is requires a multi-faceted and complex target, reducing the environmental impact, providing sustainable buildings with lower embodied energy, and emitting as little carbon as possible. The early BEAM pro involvement adds value to the design process, influencing building form, function and operation, and helping to develop a holistic approach with the architect and other design team members.

NHL Hockey Betting: Anaheim Ducks at Chicago Blackhawks
Game Three of the Western Conference Finals takes place at the United Center tonight as the Chicago Blackhawks host the Anaheim Ducks. Chicago earned a split in the first two games played at the Honda Center in Anaheim and will look to go up 2-1 here. The teams are coming off a marathon Game Two which went to triple overtime before Markus Kruger won it with his second goal of the playoffs. The winner of this series will face the winner of the Tampa Bay/New York Rangers series in the Stanley Cup Finals.
Will fatigue be a factor? Doubtful, though on paper it makes sense. The problem is that it'll impact both teams meaning that it's a non-factor. Some are suggesting that the 'X factor' in this series is the lack of depth in the Blackhawks' blueline corps. While the team would no doubt like a couple more defensemen to take some of the workload off of Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook it's not as big of an issue as it's being made out to be by the media. That's the deal with the playoffs–the best players log the most minutes.
A bigger concern from our view is the statistical deficiency of the Anaheim Ducks. Sure, they're big and physical but they don't have a great statistical profile. Their best statistical category during the regular season was goals per game where they were #11 in the league. Their #20 goals against per game is not the least bit impressive and particularly compared with the Blackhawks #2 goals against per game ranking. The Ducks deserve credit for winning games but they're far from an unbeatable team.
So are we saying that the Ducks are overrated? Yep. They became the 'flavor of the month' earlier in the playoffs as they ran roughshod over limited opponents Calgary and Winnipeg. Now they're facing a deep, talented and playoff experienced Blackhawks team that also has one of the best coaches in the NHL in Joel Quinneville. Look for the Hawks' star players to have more room to work with 'Q' getting the last line change as the home team. Hawks win this game and go up 2-1.
