Maine Turnpike Authority Executive Director, Seven-Time Maine State Senator Peter Mills Joins TideSmart Talk with Stevoe to Discuss Maine's Infrastructure Challenges
Feb 01, 2013, 10:49 EST
FALMOUTH, Maine, Feb. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In an interview with TideSmart Talk with Stevoe, a weekly radio show that takes a macro approach towards society and culture, seven-time Maine State Senator Peter Mills (R-26th District), joined host Steve Woods (Stevoe) for a discussion about the direct link between Maine's economic and infrastructure challenges.
The show will air Saturday, February 2, from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. on News Talk WLOB 1310AM and will be live streamed at http://www.wlobradio.com. A podcast will be available via iTunes or at http://www.tidesmartradio.com.
Mills, who spent 32 years as an attorney and 16 years in the Maine State Legislature, talked about election reform, Maine's political climate, the Maine Turnpike Authority and his "obsession" with public service. Woods and Mills also discussed Maine's infrastructure challenges as it relates to economic prosperity.
"Maine is a large state which has grown organically into uneven population distribution, which poses significant economic challenges for our vast infrastructure and essential government services," Woods said. "Thoughtful strategies tied to encouraging more financially sustainable communities throughout the state will help create a shared economic prosperity for all Mainers."
During the second hour of the February 2 TideSmart Talk with Stevoe show, Woods was joined for an in-studio interview Dottie Foote, Executive Director of The Community Schools At Opportunity Farm & Camden, an innovative school that provides students with skills to discover their strengths and contribute to their communities.

WESTPORT, Conn. -- A Bridgeport man was arrested in Westport after police said he tried to ditch some marijuana during a search.
An officer observed a broken down car in the parking lot of McDonald's on Post Road East at around 8 p.m. Sunday. The car was in a main corridor and blocking traffic, so the officer got out to help, police said. When he reached the car, the officer detected the strong odor of marijuana, according to police.
The officer asked the owner of the car, 52-year-old Frederick Anim of Bridgeport, if he could search the car and Anim consented, according to police. During the search, police said that Anim turned to his right to block his left side hip from the officer and used his left hand to reach down to the side of his shorts. He then struggled with officers as they tried to handcuff him, police said.
Anim was taken to the ground and handcuffed, police said. According to police, he tried to discard a clear plastic baggie containing marijuana onto the pavement.
Police used K-9 Koda to search the car for more drugs, and found a second small bagggie of marijuana and a rolled joint int he center console, police said. They also found a third small baggie inside a white takeout bag, police said. The total marijuana weighed 7.8 grams, according to police.
Anim was charged with interfering with an officer, possession of less than a half-ounce of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was held on a $500 bond and given a court date of April 25.

Going fluoro-free
Published: 04 November, 2011
Norwegian airport operator implements alcohol-resistant fluorine free fire extinguishing foam concentrate following a major procurement initiative.
Norwegian airport operator Avinor AS runs 46 airports and like all operators it faces the challenge of keeping control of costs while ensuring health and safety and quality of service are at the top of the agenda.
In 2010 Avinor established a working group to work on putting together a new set of criteria for the procurement of firefighting foam: 'We were looking for a firefighting foam which met ICAO requirements and also presented as low risk as possible to employee health and the environment,' remembers Nils Øyvind Andersen (Airport Operations).
'We always work hard to try to run the airport in an efficient way, while taking into consideration health and safety as well as the environment (HSE).'
Nils comments that the use of PFOS has been banned in Norway since 2007, having been widely accepted as one of the most environmentally dangerous fluorine-based substances. 'However other fluorine compounds that have replaced PFOS may have similar environmental impact as PFOS, so our intention was to improve the environmental performance of our next purchase of foam.'
Avinor's working group made the decision to make environmental impact as one of the key evaluation criteria for the procurement process.
After signing secrecy agreements with the suppliers, Avinor requested a complete list of the ingredients used in the different products put forward for each bid. In addition, suppliers were asked to provide documentary evidence of environmental characteristics such as toxicity, biodegradability, and bioaccumulation etc. 'The data formed the basis for an environmental risk assessment. The result of this process was a fluorine-free product with a good environmental profile,' said Nils.
During last winter Avinor tested the foam in different weather conditions – including freezing winds and sunny blue skies– using cold simulators, full scale tests with heated simulators, and full scale tests on running fuel fires. 'After an assessment of the analysis results we found that Dr Sthamer-Hamburg's Moussol FF 3/6 met Avinor AS requirements,' concluded Nils.
Below is footage of the foam tests carried out by Avinor:

My first feature film as a director is finally moving forward!
It's called Court of Fools and is a dark comedy-drama about jesters below stairs at a medieval court – imagine backstage at the Comedy Store in the 1500s. The script's in place, we've got Stephen Murphy (Line of Duty/Vera/The Favorite) attached as DoP and Ollie Tiong (Postcards from London/Norfolk/Adult Life Skills) as Production Designer, and the brilliant producer Kate Turner, (who's just finished shooting her first feature, Summer in the Shade) is now part of the team too! There are also a number of financiers keen to get involved and we're currently assembling a cast of comedians and actors, so watch this space for updates. There should be more news soon.

The most shockingly violent film in the Competition at the Tokyo International Festival this year was also the most stunningly poetic, with an exquisite use of sound that rivets the spectator to the screen. Michael Rix's Accession, set in an unnamed township in the director's native South Africa, features a down-and-out protagonist, John, who wanders through town in moody contemplation, thinking he has contracted AIDS. The camera basically follows his footsteps as the man silently trudges through the streets, brooding on his plight. We hear cars, birds, and voices: a constant stream of noise that makes us feel right there with John, identifying emotionally with a man who has -- it turns out -- no concern for anyone but himself. "To sleep with a virgin will make the disease go away," pipes up one friend cheerfully, and John proceeds to seek and rape any virgin in his path, including one who goes beyond the limit of under-age.
"I feel the issue has to be out there," Michael Rix shared with us in the Roppongi Hills cinema complex. "This is absolutely an issue in South Africa. The rape of minors is so common that the news doesn't even pick it up anymore. It happens all the time. It is ignored. Unfortunately that is the way it is. It has never been on film before. It is the reason I struggled so hard to get it funded.'
He noted that to prepare for his film, he "spent a lot of time with people in these townships, doing research, like for a documentary."
Yet the film does not have a documentary feel, but has the breathtaking effect of an auteur art film, reminiscent of Tarkovsky or Pasolini. The close-ups of John's troubled eyes below his cap, the constant buzz of sound, the experimental shift from color to black-and-white after a horrific climax: Each moment creates cinematic immediacy and spectator pleasure, despite the horrors depicted.
Rix took care to emphasize that his aesthetics and use of sound were not, however, an homage to these auteur directors. "I think sound is the best way to engage the audience into the story, in an immediate way," the director told us sincerely, showing his commitment to the message of his film.
The film ends with a long shot on a burning white cloth, crinkling in the fire, while smoke rises and thunder roars in the distance. There is (plot-spoiler!) "justice" at the end of this morally unsettling film: but it is a settling of accounts that, as the smoke rises, underscores the impotency of the South African legal system -- and the continuing problem of extreme violence.
"My film ends this way because that is, unfortunately, the way it is in South Africa," said the director. "These episodes generally end in vigilantism before the authorities even hear about it."

As a man worked from atop a scissor lift, Eminem's voice rang out loud and clear from a cellphone speaker. To the right, two men, speaking Spanish and wearing yellow safety vests, sipped soft drinks while walking the corridor just outside the North Hall at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
This is crunch time.
On Thursday, thousands of workers, most wearing T-shirts and jeans or cargo pants, helped put together the largest domestic trade show, CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2014. Together it will take crews 29 days to create an experience for the construction industries.
Tuesday through Saturday, CONEXPO-CON/AGG will take over every square inch of the Las Vegas Convention Center on Paradise Road, with its school-bus yellow, neon orange and frog green construction equipment taking up 2.5 million square feet, equal to about 41 football fields. Produced by the Association of Equipment Manufacturing, the show is expecting about 125,000 attendees who will create an estimated nongaming economic impact of $157.3 million to the city, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
Compared with the show three years ago, registration already is tracking ahead for the 2014 show.
"A show this large requires thousands of hours of manpower to set up and break down and is a great example of how the meetings and convention industry helps sustain local jobs," said Chris Meyer, vice president of global business sales for the authority.
In the convention center's concourse Thursday, two Ahern forklifts were controlled side by side to lift the Association of Equipment Manufacturers sign atop two pillars at what will be the convention's centerpiece area on Tuesday.
Outside, piles of truss were waiting to be assembled while nearby one of many GES service centers was open to assist any of the 2,500 or so exhibiting companies.
On a busy set-up day, GES employs 1,541 workers, including 945 Teamsters, 417 electricians, 129 stagehands and 50 carpenters.
About 70 full-time GES employees come in from other locales to help out about 400 local employees.
"This wouldn't be possible without the GES staff," said Steve Moster, president of GES. "We bring in team members from all around the country in order to produce an event like this. I think the quality of that team shows up in what you see here today and what you'll see here on Tuesday morning."
The inside halls and all of the outside parking lots at the convention center are being transformed into showrooms for heavy construction machinery. Among the products being shown next week are more than 30 cranes already raised, waiting for the show to start.
CONEXPO-CON/AGG comes to Las Vegas every three years, and GES has been a show partner for at least 40 years.
"When the show is over, the manufacturers and exhibitors want to entertain their clients, and this is a great town to do that in," Moster said.
The trade show coincides with the 2014 IFPE expo for fluid power, motion control and power transmission.
"Both shows are the largest they have ever been," said Megan Tanel, vice president of exhibitions for the Association of Equipment Manufacturing.
One factor playing into the size is the large numbers of international attendees.
"What we find is that Las Vegas is a huge draw for internationals," Tanel said.
Exact numbers weren't yet available.
New this year is the addition of the Platinum parking lot exhibit space, which is one of the convention center's recently acquired pieces of land transformed into a parking lot. Product areas also have been redesigned in an effort to help people find brands more easily. Because the show is so large, an enhanced intra-show shuttle will be provided, and golf carts can help people walk less.
As for the industry itself, Tanel said the association has a positive outlook for 2014, and contractors are seeing jobs pick up.
"Internationally, we've had some growth in South America outside of Brazil, which is positive. China is still a little slow, as it has been," Tanel said.
At this show, everything's bigger, and the average booth size is 2,000-3,000 square feet. Large construction brands such as Caterpillar and Case are taking up 30,000 to 40,000 square feet inside the convention center, plus outdoor space in some cases.
The event also is filled with targeted educational opportunities, including eight industry tracks. Tanel said the association is seeing record ticket sales for those conferences, with more than 27,000 tickets sold.

Zeenat Bi, is 3 feet tall, 113 years old and destitute. And while the Indian woman struggles just to get to the bank, she manages to survive on $5 a month and live alone.
Bi, who may be the world's "oldest, tiniest human," according to the Hindustan Times, lives rent free in a small room and subsists completely on the government's pension.
"I have no means of income except the government's old-age pension of 275 rupees a month," Zeenat told the news service, which explains the amount is the equivalent to about $5 a month. "But even that is paid every four months. I have to spend at least 150 rupees on an auto-rickshaw to visit the bank."
While Bi faces a number of unique challenges, she isn't alone when it comes to struggling with her pension.
According to a report released by the U.N. Population Fund, India is one of many countries where the elderly pay more into pension systems over the course of their lifetime than they receive in return, the AP reports.
As the world population continues to age, the U.N. is pushing for protection for the globe's elderly. In India, 8 percent of the population is older than 60. That number will jump to 19 percent by 2050, according to the U.N. report.
But the nation has made strides in protecting the elderly by putting into place established government bodies that address ageing issues.
India's Parliament will soon also discuss the National Food Security Bill, which could help tackle the country's hunger problem. It aims to serve more of India's poor that have previously been discriminated against based on caste, gender, and religion, The Wall Street Journal reports.
But Bi may not have to wait for the bill to pass to ease her money troubles.
Since the original story in the Hindustan Times ran, a number of organizations have come forward offering Bi financial and medical assistance. And she's also getting some help with working on her appearance.
According to the news outlet, she's getting new teeth, but when asked if her jet black hair has been dyed, she said, "Tauba tauba," which means, "This is all original."

Nearly 5,500 people a day report that they have used painkillers nonmedically in the past year. The time for help is now.
Pompano Beach, FL (PRWEB) August 20, 2013
In an article published August 12th, 2013 by NBC, Dr. Joseph Sirven discussed the growing epidemic that is plaguing the US, Prescription Drug abuse. This article is one among a long list of powerful articles that have pointed out the need for reform in how we as a country deals with this issue.
For many, prescription drug abuse sounds like something that effects other people, not them but the definition may surprise you. Prescription drug abuse is the use of a medication that is prescribed by your doctor, but is used in a manner that is not intended by the prescribing doctor. This can mean that something as simple as taking a friend's pain killer for your back ache falls into this category. But it is often something as simple as this that leads down the road to a much more dangerous outcome.
According to the (http://www.cdc.gov/homeandrecreationalsafety/rxbrief/) [CDC __title__ CDC](Center for Disease Control) there are over 100 people that die every day from drug overdoses in the United States, a number that has more than tripled since 1990.
With the alarming rate that this problem is growing, there are a number of things that Dr. Sirven believes are important to understand as risk factors for Prescription drug Abuse.
Past or present addictions to other substances including alcohol.
- Younger ages, specifically the teens or early 20's, seem to be particularly predisposed towards prescription drug abuse.
- Individuals with pre-existing psychiatric conditions such as generalized anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and bipolar disease.
- Exposure to peer pressure and a social environment where there is drug use.
- Healthcare workers with easy access to prescription drugs.
- Lack of knowledge about prescription drugs side effects
Prevention for those who may have a predisposition to addiction is one facet of this dilemma, but for those suffering already from addiction the path is much longer.
"In our business we see those who are already dealing with addictions said Corey Shader, CEO of Treatment Center Finder. "The problem is that for every death that we see in the US there are about 130 people who are abusing prescription drugs. Even worse then that is the number of new users every day. Addiction recovery is fighting a uphill battle, and treatment is becoming a very real part of the battle on a daily basis. It is not longer about the rich and famous, it is about mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters getting clean and stopping the cycle of abuse. That is what treatment is becoming."
(http://oas.samhsa.gov/NSDUH/2k10NSDUH/2k10Results.htm#2.16) [In 2010 __title__ In 2010,] 2 million people reported using prescription painkillers non-medically for the first time within the last year—nearly 5,500 a day. With only about 11% of addicts seeking treatment, the number of addicts and users is growing to out of control levels more quickly then it can be dealt with.
Industry experts agree that this is not just about the reduction of prescribing addictive prescription drugs but will also require major investments in infrastructure to deal with the influx of illegal shipments of drugs from overseas, increased support for detox centers, additional drug courts and monitoring systems that will monitor those users shopping among multiple physicians for drugs.
Treatment Center Finder. Where addicts get the help they need. (TM)
About Treatment Center Finder:
The specialists at Treatment Center Finder focus on the specific needs of the addict that need to be met for successful treatment, including the ability to remain sober! They start by building a personal relationship getting to know you inside and out to help identify your specific problem areas. From there, they can discover the root of the addiction issues and properly find you the help that is going to give you the best chance at recovery.
They believe in this approach because no two patient's addictions are alike.

One of the advantages of using them is that they don't represent only one treatment center, or help with only one type of addiction. They specialize in addictions of all kinds including drugs, sex, gambling, and all the way to self mutilation. They work with a variety of facilities representing you, targeting your personalized areas of need.
They have access to top of the line treatment centers all across the United States that are covered by most insurance companies and are able to offer you a wide range of options to choose from. No insurance, no problem, they also accept cash payments! They offer placement in detox centers, all the way to long term residential programs, as well as outpatient programs.

History of the world's tallest buildings

The tallest building in the world as of 2018 is Burj Khalifa. Before Burj Khalifa, the title of "world's tallest building" has been borne by various buildings, such as Rouen Cathedral and the Empire State Building.
The skyscraper was invented in Chicago in 1884. For the next hundred years, the world's tallest building was always in the United States with New York City accumulating 86 years, and Chicago accumulating 30 years. After just over a century (1885–1998) the distinction moved to the Eastern Hemisphere. Malaysia was the first country to break United States' record of building tallest buildings in the world by building Petronas Twin Towers in 1998, which held the record for 6 years before losing it to Taipei 101 in 2004. Before the current era of commercial skyscrapers, there was an era where the tallest buildings were Christian churches/cathedrals (c. 1250–1901), dominated by England and Germanic territories.
Before this time, it is not possible to conclusively state what was the tallest building in the world. For instance, the Lighthouse of Alexandria (completed about 280 BC) was very tall, but its true height is not known. For thousands of years, the Great Pyramid in Egypt was the tallest structure in the world, but the Great Pyramid is not considered a building since it was not habitable.

Definition of terms[edit]
Meaning of "building"[edit]
The earliest structures now known to be the tallest in the world were the Egyptian pyramids, with the Great Pyramid of Giza, at an original height of 146.5 metres (481 ft), being the tallest man–made structure in the world for over 3,800 years, until the construction of Lincoln Cathedral in 1300. From then until the completion of the Washington Monument (capped in 1884) the world's tallest buildings were churches or cathedrals. Later, the Eiffel Tower and, still later, some radio masts and television towers were the world's tallest structures.
However, though all of these are structures, some are not buildings in the sense of being regularly inhabited or occupied. It is in this sense of being regularly inhabited or occupied that the term "building" is generally understood to mean when determining what is the world's tallest building. The non-profit international organization Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), which maintains a set of criteria for determining the height of tall buildings, defines a "building" as "(A) structure that is designed for residential, business or manufacturing purposes" and "has floors".[1]
Tall churches and cathedrals occupy a middle ground: their lower areas are regularly occupied, but much of their height is in bell towers and spires which are not. Whether a church or cathedral is a "building" or merely a "structure" for the purposes of determining the title of "world's tallest building" is a subjective matter of definition (this article treats churches and cathedrals as buildings).
Determination of height[edit]
The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat based in Chicago uses three different criteria for determining the height of a tall building, each of which may give a different result. "Height of the highest floor" is one criterion, and "height to the top of any part of the building" is another, but the default criterion used by the CTBUH is "height of the architectural top of the building", which includes spires but not antennae, masts or flag poles.[1]
Tallest buildings (13th century–1901)[edit]
Churches and cathedrals[edit]
From the 13th century until 1901, the world's tallest building was always a church or cathedral. In the 13th century Old St Paul's Cathedral with its spire was completed. Completed in the early 14th century, the central spire of Lincoln Cathedral surpassed it. In 1549 this spire collapsed, beginning a long sequence where the status of world's tallest building was borne by shorter and shorter buildings. On the collapse of Lincoln Cathedral's spire, then St. Mary's Church in Stralsund became the world's tallest building. In 1647, the bell tower of St. Mary's burned down, thus making the shorter Strasbourg Cathedral the world's tallest building.
It was not until the completion of the Ulm Minster in 1890 that the world's tallest building was again also the tallest building ever, surpassing the original configuration of Lincoln Cathedral.
|Years tallest
|13th century–1300
|Old St Paul's Cathedral*
|149 metres (489 ft)
|Lincoln Cathedral*
|159.7 metres (524 ft)
|St. Mary's Church
|151 metres (495 ft)
|St. Pierre's Cathedral

|Cologne Cathedral
|157.38 metres (516.3 ft)
|Ulm Minster*
|161.53 metres (530.0 ft)
* – Also set record at time of completion as tallest building ever built.
The 524 feet (160 m) height of Lincoln Cathedral is disputed by some,[2] but accepted by most sources.[3][4][5][6][7][8] The completion date for the spire is given as 1311 rather than 1300 by some sources.[9] Also the 489 feet (149 m) height of the spire of Old St Paul's Cathedral, destroyed by lightning in 1561, is disputed, for example Christopher Wren (1632–1723) judged that an overestimate and gave a height of 460 feet (140 m).[10]
The spire of Mole Antonelliana in Turin, completed in 1889, is claimed to have been 167.5 metres (550 ft) tall;[11] however, the upper part of the structure was destroyed by a 1953 tornado and rebuilt. If the original spire was 167.5 metres tall, then the Mole Antonelliana was the world's tallest building from 1889 to 1908, surpassing Philadelphia City Hall by just 0.5 metres (2 ft).
The buildings that were the tallest secular skyscrapers, which excludes religious buildings, were:
|Years tallest
|Ditherington Flax Mill
|16 metres (52 ft)
|Home Insurance Building
|42 metres (138 ft)
|New York World Building
|New York
|94 metres (308 ft)
|Philadelphia City Hall
|167 metres (548 ft)
Tallest buildings (from 1908)[edit]
|Years tallest
|Singer Building
|New York City
|186.57 metres (612.1 ft)
|Metropolitan Life Tower
|New York City
|213.36 metres (700.0 ft)
|Woolworth Building
|New York City
|241.4 metres (792 ft)
|Bank of Manhattan Trust Building
|New York City
|283 metres (928 ft)
|Chrysler Building
|New York City
|318.8 metres (1,046 ft)
|Empire State Building
|New York City
|381 metres (1,250 ft)
|World Trade Center
|New York City
|417 metres (1,368 ft)
|Sears Tower
|442 metres (1,450 ft)
|Petronas Towers
|Kuala Lumpur
|451.9 metres (1,483 ft)
|Taipei 101
|509.2 metres (1,671 ft)
|Burj Khalifa
|United Arab Emirates
|828 metres (2,717 ft)
The list of tallest buildings is based on the default metric of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), that of measuring to the highest architectural element. Other criteria would generate a different list. Shanghai World Financial Center is not on the above list, but it surpassed Taipei 101 in 2008 to become the building with the highest occupied floor. Using the criteria of highest tip (including antennae), the World Trade Center in New York City was the world's tallest building from 1972 to 2000, until the Sears Tower in Chicago (which already had a higher occupied floor than the World Trade Center) had its antenna extended to give that building the world's tallest tip; a title it held until the 2010 completion of Burj Khalifa. Petronas Towers and Taipei 101 were never the world's tallest buildings by the highest–tip criteria.
Since 2010, Burj Khalifa has been the tallest building by any criteria. It has the highest architectural element, tip and occupied floor, and is indeed the tallest structure of any kind ever built, surpassing the (now destroyed) 646.38 metres (2,120.7 ft) Warsaw Radio Mast.
Since the completion of the Washington Monument in 1884, the world's tallest building has not usually also been the world's tallest structure. The exceptions are 1930–1954, when the Chrysler Building and then the Empire State building surpassed the Eiffel Tower (to be surpassed in turn by a succession of broadcast masts, starting with the Griffin Television Tower in Oklahoma), and from 2010 with the completion of Burj Khalifa.
In this chart, time progresses from right to left. Note the early buildings that lost the title as their spires collapsed.
History of increment in height of skyscrapers[edit]
After the construction of the Home Insurance Building in Chicago in the 19th century, the incrementation in the height of skyscrapers began with the construction of the Chrysler Building, followed by the Empire State Building, in New York City. The Chrysler Building was the first building in the world to break the 300 metres (984 ft) barrier, and the Empire State Building was the first building to have more than 100 floors. It stands at 381 metres (1,250 ft) and has 102 floors. The next tallest skyscraper was the World Trade Center, which was completed in 1971. The north tower was 417 m (1,368 ft) and the south 415 m (1,362 ft) tall. It surpassed the height of the Empire State Building by 36 m (118 ft). Two years later the Sears Tower was built in Chicago, standing at 442 m (1,450 ft) with 110 floors, surpassing the height of the World Trade Center by 25 metres (82 ft). The Petronas Towers rose 10 meters above the Sears Tower, standing at a height of 452 m (1,483 ft) and each having 88 floors.
In 2004, the construction of Taipei 101 brought the height of skyscrapers to a new level, standing at 509 m (1,670 ft) with 101 floors. It is 59 metres (194 ft) taller than the previous record holders, the Petronas Towers. Burj Khalifa surpassed the height of Taipei 101 by 319 metres (1,047 ft) in 2009, making it 60% taller.[12] It has broken several skyscraper records, and it is almost twice as tall as the Empire State Building. Burj Khalifa has also broken the record of the world's tallest structure.
- NOTE: The CTBUH defines a building as a supertall if it is 300 metres (984 ft) or taller.[13]
History of supertall skyscrapers by location[edit]
Since the early skyscraper boom that took place in North America, the significant number of skyscrapers in North America have dominated the 100 tallest buildings in the world. In 1930, 99 of the 100 tallest buildings in the world were located in North America. In the future, this percentage is expected to decline to only 22 percent.[12] The predominance of skyscrapers in North America is decreasing due to the building of skyscraper construction in other parts of the world, especially in Asia, that are finally catching up to progress that began in North America in the 19th century.[citation needed]
In Asia, there has been an increase in the number of supertall skyscrapers beginning with the construction of Petronas Twin Towers. There are currently sixty buildings in the world's 100 tallest that are located in Asia (including the Middle East). However, skyscraper construction is still prevalent in the United States.[citation needed]
Increment in usage of skyscrapers[edit]
Since the skyscraper boom, the great majority of skyscrapers in the world were used predominantly as office space. From 1930 to 2000 the percentage of office towers never fell below 86 percent, but in the future it is expected to be as low as 46 percent.[12] In 2010 less than half of the 100 tallest buildings in the world were office towers with the majority utilized as residential and mixed use.[12] Today, only four out of the ten tallest buildings in the world, and twenty eight out of the fifty tallest in the world, are used primarily as offices.[14]
A mixed-use tall building contains two or more functions (uses), where each of the functions occupies a significant proportion of the tower's total space[A]. Support areas such as car parks and mechanical plant space do not contribute towards mixed-use status.[13]
Skyscrapers used as hotels and as residential space are generally smaller. There are only a few super tall skyscrapers of that type among the 100 tallest skyscrapers in the world. The tallest residential building in the world is 432 Park Avenue.[citation needed] There are few supertall hotel skyscrapers in the world.[citation needed] The Emirates Park Towers Hotel & Spa, Rose Tower and Burj Al Arab are the only three supertall hotels standing, while the topped-out Emirates Park Towers Hotel & Spa is currently the tallest hotel in the world at 377 m (1,237 ft).[citation needed]

- A. ^ This significant proportion can be judged as 15% or greater of either the total floor area, or the total building height in terms of number of floors occupied for the function. However, care should be taken in the case of supertall buildings. For example, a 20-story hotel function as part of a 150-story tower does not comply with the 15% rule, though this would clearly constitute mixed use.

Dan tied the boat up to the dock and helped Zoe out of the boat. He held her hand and brought it up to his lips and kissed it. Zoe blushed and let him take her hand in his as they walked toward the cabin.
"Should we tell them right away or wait awhile?" Zoe asked.
"I'm not telling my dad until tomorrow." Dan said.
"I won't tell the kids until tomorrow then either." Zoe said as they stood outside the front door. They both went inside and found Taylor, Cliff, Hannah and George all playing Monopoly. "So who's winning?" Zoe asked.
"We don't know, but Hannah has the most properties." Taylor announced.
"Way to go Hannah." Zoe said as she made her way toward them to watch them at the kitchen table.
"I think I'm going to quit soon, kids." George said. "It's getting late for an old man."
"Yeah, I'm getting tired from our long day of traveling." Taylor agreed.
"It has been a long day, hasn't it?" Zoe added. "We should all get to bed soon." The thought of sleeping in the same bed as Dan scared yet excited Zoe. "Well, I'm going to go get my pajamas on. When I come back, I want to hear who won, then I want you kids to get ready for bed."
Zoe left for the bedroom and changed into pink plaid silk pajamas bottoms and a pink camisole. When she returned to where everyone was, the kids and George were counting money and Dan was drinking a glass of water. Her heart skipped a beat just seeing him, as it had done for almost a year.
"Hannah won." Taylor announced. "Now I'm going to get ready for bed." She said as she stood up from her chair and headed toward her room.
"Let Hannah and Cliff get their toothbrushes before you go in your room though." Zoe called. "Does anyone mind if I watch a little TV while I wait for everyone to get to bed?"
"That depends upon what you were going to watch." Dan said. "I wanted to watch the news before going to bed."
"That's what I was planning on watching." Zoe said, smiling at him, making Dan's heart flip flop in his chest. They both took a seat on the couch meant for two in front of the TV. Dan, secretly from the others, took Zoe's hand and intertwined their fingers.
Slowly the room emptied as everyone but Dan and Zoe were left. Dan let go of Zoe's hand and put his arm around her and drew her in close to him. Zoe felt a little uncomfortable. She wasn't used to this new relationship with her business partner. Dan sensed her tension and asked, "Does this bother you?"
"No, I'm just not used to it." Zoe said, as she tried to relax a little and enjoy it. She rested her head on Dan's shoulder and sighed. Zoe could smell Dan's intoxicating scent of cologne. She closed her eyes and let her mind wander.
It wasn't long before Dan heard Zoe's heavy breathing and light snoring. Dan smiled a bit and decided it was time for the both of them to go to bed. He shut the TV off with the remote control and then gently lifted Zoe and cradled her in his arms. Zoe made a quiet noise as she was moved. Dan carried her to the bedroom and tenderly laid her beneath the covers. She curled herself into a ball and quietly moaned as she got settled to fall asleep. Dan drew the bed sheets over her before he went to the opposite side of the bed. He kicked off his pants and threw his shirt off leaving him in his boxers and undershirt. He sat on the bed and lifted his legs underneath the blankets and got himself situated to fall asleep. Zoe, half awake now, moved closer to Dan, as he laid down, and rested her head on his chest. She could hear his heartbeat and his steady breathing and it quickly lulled her to sleep.

So I've got these two specific items. The ACI is one of the most used trinkets on shadow priest, but compared to the Infernal, it has a low ilvl. The effect of Infernal stacks every second, and since critical strike is now the bis stat for shadow priest, which one of the trinkets would you pick? 🙂
Thanks in advance! 🙂

Hi all,
Im not sure where to post this but im hoping someone can help or at least point me in the right direction.
TL;DR - My DPS is awful and i want to increase it
I played fire & frost spec back in cata upto 85 and have recently got back into WoW again and finally realised what people talk about when they play "end game" i wish id known about raiding sooner!
However, My DPS isnt great at all im eq 959 ilvl but my DPS comes out as low as 8-900 sometimes or i can hold a steady 1.1-1.2M. Simc comes out around 1.7M (obviously in a perfect world) but i still feel im doing something wrong.
Ive watched videos, read forums and im sure my rotation is right. Im using Flask, Food and Runes and Pre-potting. I have some logs here of garothi.
and this is my Raider.io - https://raider.io/characters/eu/twisting-nether/Buksh
Not sure if ive posted this in the right place OR if ive given enough info to help. but anything would be hugely appreciated.

I'm not entirely sure what I am doing wrong that is getting me this result, but I am getting about a 30k dps difference on training dummy when I use a defile, clawing shadows, shadow infusion build than when I use the recommended talents. I left the rest of my talents unchanged and I have yet to see where the dps difference is coming from (arbiter or clawing shadows), but I'm very confused as to how this could happen. Links to armory and mrrobot below.
Defile damage breakdown, Arbiter damage breakdown
I felt like I had a harder time keeping my disease up and using coldheart on cooldown (or rather whenever at max stacks) with the arbiter build. Am I missing some key thing or do I just need to git gud? Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm sure this is a popular topic so I apologize if this is the 1 millionth time you've seen this.
I haven't played a level capped character since probably Wrath of the Lich King. Friends are sucking me back in and I'm thinking about picking up Warrior. I used to love tanking as a warrior but unfortunately (or fortunately) it looks like all the tank slots are filled. Basically my question is, is rolling Warrior a wise choice? Are they fun to play? Pretty sure id pick Fury as my DPS spec but I don't know how it or arms plays now. I want to be competitive on the meters against my guildmates but I don't think we're going to be super hardcore.
I suppose this is "living the dream" but i want to be near the top of the DPS charts while having fun doing it. Is the warrior for me? Other classes I was looking at were Shadow Priest, Hunter, or Death Knight.
I guess I should also mention that I haven't played in a LONG time so ill probably be doing things like world pvp, BGs, 5-mans, ect. I'm not an Arena type of person.

Approval to Conduct IDE Clinical Study for MicroMed's HeartAssist 5™ LVAD System; Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Circulatory Support as a Bridge to Transplant in Patients Who Are at Risk of Imminent Death From Non-Reversible Left Ventricular Heart Failure
Approval to Conduct IDE Clinical Study for MicroMed's HeartAssist 5™ LVAD System; Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Circulatory Support as a Bridge to Transplant in Patients Who Are at Risk of Imminent Death From Non-Reversible Left Ventricular Heart Failure
HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - Jun 14, 2012) - MicroMed Cardiovascular, Inc., manufacturer of the HeartAssist 5™ Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD), today announced it has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to conduct an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) Clinical Trial study of the HeartAssist 5™ LVAD System compared to the HeartMate II® VAD.
David Mackstaller, CEO of MicroMed, said, "We have been working non-stop for nearly two years to be permitted to begin this IDE study. This is very a significant event and it marks our entry on to a path similar to the one followed by Thoratec for its HeartMate II® and by HeartWare for its HVAD."
We believe that the study will be watched with great interest because it is a "Prospective, Randomized, Multicenter Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of the HeartAssist 5™ LVAD System compared to the HeartMate II® VAD for Left Ventricular Support in Patients Awaiting Cardiac Transplantation."
The study is expected to enroll 192 patients from up to 20 institutions and follow-up until patients are no longer supported by the device. Patients who meet study criteria will randomly receive either a HeartAssist 5™ LVAD or HeartMate II®. The effectiveness of the VADs in providing circulatory support as a bridge to transplant will be assessed.
Cindy McKelroy, MicroMed's Vice President for Quality Systems and Regulatory Affairs, emphasized that, "MicroMed is proceeding deliberately and carefully to incorporate lessons learned from the FDA Panel hearing for HeartWare's HVAD." In addition, she said, "We intend to conduct the study only at highly qualified and well recognized hospitals. We will release the name of each participating hospital after we have received final approval from its Institutional Review Board."
The HeartAssist 5™, originally developed by the world famous heart surgeon Dr. Michael DeBakey in partnership with NASA, is the smallest and lightest full support LVAD in the world, weighing only 92 grams, and is nearly silent. Because of its miniature size, it is one of the few LVADs that can be implanted above the diaphragm, adjacent to the heart, and is the most technically advanced device among a small number of competitors in this field. It is the only LVAD with a precise, direct flow measurement system and cellular-based remote monitoring (pending approvals). The HeartAssist 5™ System consists of two devices: MicroMed HeartAssist 5™ LVAD and the MicroMed Controller.
Sailesh Saxena, MicroMed's CFO, said, "If MicroMed was a public company, I am sure our stock price would have jumped the moment we received approval from the FDA to begin our IDE Study. MicroMed has achieved a significant valuation milestone that we expect to be recognized by the institutional investors we are approaching to help us with the study and expansion in Europe."
The HeartAssist 5™ System received CE approval for use in Europe in April 2001.
