Schools encouraging students to bring gadgets
Schools, which not too long ago barred students from bringing smartphones into campuses, have made a U-turn with some of the better-known ones in the country allowing gadgets such as tablets in the classroom.
What schools like Delhi Public School or Dehradun's Doon School are doing is not much different from the emerging concept of 'Bring Your Own Device' or BYOD, a raging debate among corporations. Unlike the enterprises, which are still debating the pros and cons of BYOD, the educational institutions are encouraging students to bring laptops, tablets and smartphones into classrooms.
Besides older schools such as the Doon and Delhi Public School, relatively newer ones such Millennium School in Lucknow, Dhirubhai Ambani International School in Mumbai, Gurgaon's GD Goenka School and Kolkata's South City International School are all making a determined push to integrate personal technology with classroom education. Slowly, but surely, pen, paper and blackboards are being replaced with gadgets, teachers at these schools said.
"Teaching isn't done the chalk and duster method anymore. Students are getting inquisitive by the day and we need to adopt new methods to teach them," said Monica Chopra, headmistress at Millennium School in Lucknow, where students are asked to bring their laptops and tablets at least three times a week. Mallya Aditi International School in Bangalore has prescribed tablets and smartphones as a medium of study for students in eighth standard onwards.
A spokesperson for Doon School explained that the new practice helps ensure that students are proficient in using such modern devices optimally for study-related research. At Doon, students in class 11 and 12 are allowed to bring their gadgets to class.
Suchitra Maske, who heads Dhirubhai Ambani International School, said students from seventh standard on are not only allowed to bring in gadgets, but are also encouraged to take notes on them. Some schools, such as National Hill View public school in Bangalore and Gurgaon's GD Goenka School, have gone a step further and are offering wireless internet access in classrooms. "Actually, they like it when we bring gadgets because you get to finish the class-blog on time," said Rica, a ninth-grader at Delhi Public School.
Tolerating students using gadgets in schools comes after years of resistance and debate about the merits of handing out technology and internet to children. Even now, not everybody agrees on the desirability of it or the value addition it brings to education. The trend has raised eyebrows among experts who argue that technology, especially internet, can be a counter-productive distraction.
"It's quite impossible to stop students from using Whatsapp, Facebook and other applications once you allow technology in classrooms," said Dherandra Kumar, child psychologist and director at Delhi-based PsyIndia.
"Schools need to set up monitoring systems to ensure students don't exploit the technology available to them. Whether they should allow internet connectivity in classroom will be a decider." GD Goenka's Neeta Bali said the school ensures "judicious" use of internet, which is closely monitored by school staff. "There's a strict vigil. We have chosen the kind of sites students can visit."

1992 Mahindra CJ Classic 2.1 diesel
Don't even think about buying one, get a real Jeep
The engine (a Peugeot unit built in India) was utter rubbish. It was really noisy and smelly, and would sometimes blow black sooty smoke from the exhaust.
The engine would cut out at traffic lights and roundabouts for no apparent reason.
Aside from the engine: The gearbox was very stubborn, especially when selecting reverse.
It leaked terribly. Its convertible top was a terrible fit and let in water in rain heavier than drizzle.
Terrible build quality: The doors sagged when opened. The dashboard was of similar quality to an '80s Lada.
General Comments:
The Mahindra is a poor Indian-built copy of an AMC Jeep. Whereas the American Jeeps were constantly developed and upgraded, the Mahindra still drove like a 1940s Jeep, only without the ruggedness and build quality.
It looked like a US Jeep, but that's where the similarities ended.
It was uncomfortable, dangerously slow, unstable, badly built, and unreliable.
I bought it because it was different, cheap, and low-mileage. What a mistake.
I can see why it was low-mileage now. I suspect the previous owners used any excuse not to drive it.
If you see one for sale, forget it.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Shame the reviewer didn't really understand what the Mahindra CJ is all about. It's a 1950's Jeep, for which time has stood still.
The Peugeot engine is fine - certainly not as quiet as the original F-head 'Hurricane' Jeep engine, but really quite well suited to the application. Of course if you're expecting a modern 4x4, you'd be daft to purchase the Mahindra. But if you want a classic 4x4 that will sometimes embarrass a Land-Rover off road, then the Mahindra's just great.
There's a very good owners club at www.mahindra-register.org, and lots of friendly people on the forum there will help you get the best out of your Mahindra.
Primitive? Of course. Uncomfortable? Naturally! But it's one of the few vehicles I've driven that cause people to shout 'Want to sell that, mate?'. When the sun comes out, whip the hood off and drop the windscreen flat. Then head for hills. It's the most fun to be had on four wheels.

It's been a staple in Union County for more than a decade, but the Staples store near Lewisburg will close for good on January 29.
Employees aren't saying much, but Newswatch 16 has learned the store's lease is almost up.
Staples near Lewisburg has customers going in and out of its doors all day, but it won' be like that for long. On January 29, the store in Union County will sell its last office supply.
"When I heard that this morning, I was stunned, thinking of my own self. Where to go, down on the strip, you have to go down to Selinsgrove," said Linda Snook of Mifflinburg.
"I was kinda bummed out because right now we'd have to go all the way to Mifflinburg, and eight miles away to Shamokin Dam and it's a little bit more of an inconvenience," said Rubens Ruba of Lewisburg.
A representative from the Central Pennsylvania Chamber of Commerce said the store is having issues with its lease. The store manager said the lease is almost up.
Employees at the Lewisburg Staples tell Newswatch 16 it's an older model store that has been around for quite a few years. There are not as many cash registers inside and in order to keep up with other Staples stores it would need to undergo a major remodel.
"Shopping for office supplies and also electronic copy services and mailing services. It's going to be a real loss for the community," said David Lightman of Winfield.
Customers tell Newswatch 16 they hope another store will fill the spot soon.
"Lewisburg's been pretty stable economically and we have some good supervisors who run the area. I'm confident something better will come in," Rubens said.
Representatives from Staples' corporate office would not say exactly why the store is closing, but they did confirm that it will shut down on January 29. The Lewisburg manager said several of the store's 12 employees will transfer to another Staples.

City Council Ramps Up Efforts To Preserve Existing Housing For Low-Income New Yorkers
City Council Ramps Up Efforts To Preserve Existing Housing For Low-Income New Yorkers
Committee on Housing and Buildings Holds Hearing on Four Bills to Strengthen NYC's Housing Preservation Tool-Kit
NEW YORK, NY- Today at City Hall, the City Council's Committee on Housing and Buildings heard testimony on a package of four bills designed to strengthen the city's tool-kit for preserving the existing housing where most low- and moderate-income New Yorkers live.
The preservation-focused hearing comes in the midst of negotiations with the de Blasio Administration on the Mandatory Inclusionary Zoning (MIH) and Zoning for Quality and Affordability (ZQA) proposals. Council Members, advocacy organizations, City officials, and New Yorkers from across the city highlighted the need to strengthen the City's preservation efforts, even as discussion about developing new affordable housing through MIH and ZQA continues.
Most low- and moderate-income New Yorkers live in privately-owned housing. Unfortunately, this housing stock is at great risk. Some landlords harass and seek to displace low-income tenants in order to replace them with higher rents -- either by emptying an entire building for demolition, or more gradually, as a building is turned over unit-by-unit. Some landlords fail to provide adequate living conditions, by refusing to make repairs, or by only making short-term, superficial, fixes that leave dangerous underlying conditions in place. And in some cases, even where owners have received subsidies to provide affordable housing, they fail to live up to their obligations. Recent investigations by Pro Publica have revealed thousands of units that are required to be affordable, but have not been preserved for low-income families.
Four proposed bills were discussed at the hearing:
- Int. 152 - Sponsored by Council Member Brad Lander, would require building owners seeking to demolish or materially alter a building to obtain a "certificate of no harassment" from NYC HPD in order to make sure that landlords have not used harassment to empty their building of low-income tenants.
- Int. 543(CM Torres) would would empower tenants to bring claims in housing court against landlords for failing to fix a recurring issue caused by an unfixed, underlying condition. The bill would expand a 2013 law that allows HPD to pursue underlying conditions claims against landlords.
- Int. 1015(CM Kallos) would create an affordable housing internet portal that would identify all of the requirements (and related information) for City-subsidized or supported affordable housing, to help make sure we have all of the necessary information to make sure the rules are being followed.
- Int. 1044(Public Advocate James) would require DOB to deny a permit when a building has a significant number of immediately hazardous violations (2 or 3 per unit, depending on the size of the building). The local law excludes permits sought to correct DOB or HPD violations.
"Our City is in the midst of an affordability crisis, and too often seniors and working families are forced to endure harassment and live in deplorable conditions simply because some landlords view affordability as an excuse to neglect their responsibilities, or worse, an invitation to force their tenants out," said Council Member and Chair of the Housing and Buildings Committee Jumaane D. Williams. "One thing is clear: we cannot build our way out of the housing crisis. I'm proud of the Housing Committee's work to preserve existing affordable housing and ensure all New Yorkers can afford safe, stable housing free from harassment."
"As we are learning from Matthew Desmond's troubling new book Evicted, low-income families are facing an epidemic of harassment, eviction, displacement, and trauma. We've got to do everything we can to preserve NYC's existing affordable housing stock, even as we engage in conversations about how to build more," said Council Member Brad Lander. "Unscrupulous landlords too often seek to force tenants out through harassment, so they can dramatically raise rents. When the City rezones to allow more density, these bad actors seek to empty the building of rent stabilized tenants, so they can demolish the building to build a bigger one. By requiring building owners to obtain a "Certificate of No Harassment" from NYC HPD -- before they obtain DOB approval for demolition or material alterations -- we can make sure no building owner is rewarded for tenant harassment. This requirement has already been used successfully to bolster the preservation of affordable housing in the Special Clinton District in Hell's Kitchen. Now is the time to expand the same protections to tenants in danger of harassment citywide."
"When landlords opt to superficially fix a housing issue without addressing the underlying problem, for example patching a leaky ceiling and not fixing the pipe leak, it causes significant frustration to tenants who see the recurring problems in their apartments. Tenants, who have the most knowledge of problems in their apartments, should have the ability to bring underlying condition claims in court. Our city needs resources to preserve the entire housing stock, and my bill would give tenants an extra tool to protect their homes," said Council Member Ritchie Torres.
"Our City is in desperate need of affordable housing and we cannot allow landlords to hide even a single unit of it from the public," said Council Member Ben Kallos. "We need a full accounting of every affordable unit of housing in the City and we need regular monitoring and strict enforcement. If we're going to give away billions of dollars in incentives and property tax reductions to developers in exchange for building affordable units, we need to know where every single one of those units is and ensure struggling New Yorkers have the tools to find, apply and get affordable housing."
"We have a moral responsibility to protect all New Yorkers, especially our most vulnerable who are too often taken advantage of by unscrupulous landlords," said Public Advocate Letitia James. "This critical tenant protection bill will ensure that no bad actor can use practices of intimidation or harassment for financial gain and tenant displacement. All New Yorkers deserve access to safe and decent homes and this bill will help to uphold this basic housing right."
"Tenants in neighborhoods throughout the City are facing increasing pressure from landlords who want to profit off of harassment. The city needs more proactive tools to prevent the displacement of low-income tenants and preserve our existing affordable housing stock. Putting a smart, citywide Certificate of No Harassment Program in place would go a long way towards discouraging harassment and keeping tenants in their homes and communities." said Benjamin Dulchin, Association for Neighborhood and Housing Development (ANHD).
"New York City is losing affordable housing at an alarming rate and landlords' harassment tactics are ever evolving. The City Council needs to respond swiftly and strongly to combat displacement. Passing the four bills being heard today and the 12 bills in the Stand for Tenant Safety legislative package creates a diverse set of tools that tenants can use to fight harassment and stay in their own homes, said Harvey Epstein, Urban Justice Center.
Dulce María Rivera, a Staten Island tenant and Make the Road New York member, said, "I have lived through six New York winters without heat and hot water with my daughter. Even as I've taken my landlord to court, we still don't get enough heat. Landlords need to know there will be real consequences for treating their tenants like this. That's why I'm supporting Intro 152, to stop my landlord and bad landlords across the city from treating tenants like they've treated me."

From the Bride... Chris and my relationship has always been a happy mix of the quietly intimate and the boisterously social. We first met at the after-party of a music revue he performed in during Law School, and as he tells it, he was so nervous when he saw me that some other guy would swoop in to talk to me first, that he blurted out the first thing he could think of just to start a conversation:"Hey, I ordered cheese fries, like 30 minutes ago but they still haven't come." Not exactly the smoothest pick up, but somehow it worked and we got to talking. Five years later, after a perfect day together, back in our cozy apartment in Brooklyn, and waiting on another order of cheese fries that had not quite arrived, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. For me, these bookends to our dating life, a friend-filled celebration and a private intimate moment, represent two faces of our relationship, and ultimately ended up expressing themselves in our two ceremonies.
When we started planning, we both agreed immediately that we wanted a fall wedding – and that's about as far as we got. Chris had always dreamed about getting married at his parents' house in Millbrook, New York. While I loved the idea, having lived in Williamsburg, Brooklyn for the majority of our relationship, I thought having a local wedding that represented us would also work. We made a trip up to Millbrook to discuss the logistics, but quickly realized having a big wedding at the house was just not practical. Our guiding principle was "would we have fun at this wedding?", and as we were discussing the pros and cons of a city versus a country wedding my father suggested an elegant solution: "Why don't you have it in both places?"
Thus, we began to plan two weddings, a simple, intimate ceremony and dinner in Millbrook for our immediate family only followed by a second, bigger ceremony and party with all our friends and extended family two days later at MyMoon in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It was the best of both worlds and let us express both our quiet intimate side and our raucous, social side without compromising either.
I wanted both weddings to have personal touches, be in tune with the season and most importantly be fun for our guests (and for us)! The ceremony in Millbrook took care of itself because the land is so gorgeous. The tiny gazebo in front of the house where we held the ceremony needed very little decoration besides flowers. We wove several generations of family history into the details. I chose to wear my mother's veil and a brooch from my Great Great Grandmother. Chris and his best man (his brother) each wore pocket squares that were actually napkins from the original Ritz Hotel in Paris, where my Great Grandfather was a chef around the turn of the century. After the ceremony, we had a small, intimiate dinner. Chris' mom transformed what is normally the "mud room" between two parts of the house into a cozy, candle-lit dining room with a single long table for all the guest to sit at. It was a wonderful, close evening, that gave everyone a chance to laugh and share stories together in a way we never could have during the bustle of a larger wedding.

I Fell for Le Labo's Santal 33 Just Like the Rest of the World and I Don't Care if That Makes Me a Sucker
I mean, even Justin frickin' BEIBER wears it.
Whenever I think about my ever expanding EDP and EDT collection, that song from the musical Oklahoma that goes, "I'm just a girl who cain't say no!" comes to mind. The amount of perfume I own is seriously borderline-ridiculous, but there are so many good ones and I truly hate to pass any up.
If you know anyone who's of the same perfume persuasion—including yourself—perhaps inspiration may be drawn from this list of rich, luxurious, and, dare I say, somewhat unusual, perfumes.
L'Occitane Jasmin-Immortelle Neroli EDT, $62
The $62 price tag attached to this L'Occitane Jasmine and Neroli EDT is actually pretty reasonable. I'll admit that, based on the description, it's not one I would normally pull out of a lineup for myself. However, after I spritzed it and let it soak into my skin, I quickly changed my mind.
At first whiff it's spicy and clean and very "of the earth" before gently settling into a honeyed bouquet of crisp jasmine and juicy citrus. It's feminine in a very womanly way—not a girlish one.
Fun fact: it was created in collaboration with Pierre Herme, dubbed the "Picasso of pastry."
Wildfox EDP, $90
Wildfox EDP is a musky-meets-sweet fragrance that features top notes of peach, wormwood and incense with a very floral middle containing notes of jasmine, honeysuckle and camellia. It smells like freshly showered rich girls who wandered through a jungle of jasmine and peach trees on their way to a music festival.
If this tells you anything at all, I was instantly obsessed with this fragrance the second I smelled it. In fact, it's become my go-to over the last couple months. I love it for daytime, in particular, and I can't even tell you how many times I've been complimented on it.
Jean Patou Paris JOY EDP , $190
The Jean Patou brand is celebrating its 100th birthday with a re-release of their popular and iconic fragrance, Joy. If you're familiar with the fragrance, you'll notice that the bottle has received a makeover, inspired by their "Nuit de Chine" dress. The above perfume is part of a limited-edition gift set that includes the 3.4 oz perfume and a set of hand soaps and sells for $190 (though it's valued at $300).
As for the fragrance itself, it's very mature and regal with a heavy vintage nod. According to the description, "no fewer than 10,000 jasmine flowers and 28 dozen roses" are required to make just an ounce of the perfume. Other notes include musk, tuberose and ylang-ylang.
There's just something definitively womanly and sexy about this fragrance.
Orlov Paris Elixer, $1890
With a price tag of nearly two grand, you're probably assuming Orlov's namesake elixir comes with diamonds. And you'd be right. Well, one diamond: a VS1 that was graded and certified by a gemologist.
You're paying for extravagant packaging, yes (the real vessel is "a luxe glass bottle embellished with a removable corset and housed in a cushioned leather case").
You're also paying for a more premium version of Orlov's namesake perfume, which (only?!) costs $330.
The elixir version has a more highly concentrated formula, and yes, you can tell a difference between the two. I had the privilege of sampling both, and while they both smell incredible, the elixir is richer and smoother. Its top notes of tuberose, orange blossom and jasmine share space with notes of vanilla and sensual amber, creating a full-bodied, perfectly balanced arrangement of sweet and spicy.
Obviously, this is more of a giftable item. I imagine fat-walleted SO's around the world are gifting these to their darlings. Perhaps the stone will later be mounted on a ring? Or set in a necklace? Who knows!

I got some great feedback on my last blog post, The 4 Es of Social Media Strategy, and some interesting questions. In fact the back-and-forth was so cool that I thought I'd share some of it in this post. Since many of you e-mailed me your feedback instead of posting comments — why, oh why? — I'll use only first names here.
I liked your examples of how Levi and JC Penney are leveraging social media. But how does this start? Do people just get in a room and decide to create social communities for their companies? I can't get my executives off of vision statements much less convince them we need a Facebook page for our company! Can we start small?
Drivers of social media can be global—meaning that there is widespread consensus across the company about the goals for social media and the new behaviors it will enable. Or it can be "local," exclusive to one line of business or working group. In fact, in my experience the most effective social media initiatives are decidedly not global but focus on the objectives of a single department or brand. Look at Del Monte's "I Love My Dog" campaign for its pet foods brands.
For a more global approach look at the work of Scott Monty, the head of social media for Ford Motor Company, who polishes his company's brand every day.
I read your blog for your observations on BI, CRM, and data integration. Why are you blogging about social media so much these days?
'Cuz I have a blog and I'm not afraid to use it! Seriously, I'm writing more about social media because my clients are talking more about it. And if you really think about it, analytics, data integration, CRM, and social media are really of a piece: they should work together to enhance our understanding of our customers' behaviors and preferences.
I really like your 4 Es. Is there an order to them?
Answer (in 2 parts):
Part 1: No order. It really depends on your business priorities, your branding strategy, what you want from your customers, and the whether there's an implied quid pro quo to participate in your on-line communities.
Part 2: Make that FIVE Es of Social Media Strategy! This is courtesy of my friend Phil Simon, who rightly suggested a 5th E: Evaluation.
Phil's point was that measurement of social media success is fairly straightforward, so you should plan on a regular way of assessing whether Expose, Engage, Entertain, and Educate are really working. Hence, the "E" for Evaluate.

When researching buyer's advocates I was dismayed to realise most of them charged a percentage of the purchase prices if they were really supposed to be "advocating" on my behalf, how hard were they going to be working to get me a good purchase price when the more I paid meant the more they got paid?

Series: Springer Natural Hazards
213 pages, 8 colour & 122 b/w illustrations
Through application of the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method, Geo-Disaster Modeling and Analysis mainly focuses on large deformations and flow failure simulations of geomaterials and movement behavior, which are always involved in geo-disasters. The work covers the theoretical background, numerical techniques, code implementation issues, and many novel and interesting applications. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional SPH models in the framework of both hydrodynamics and solid mechanics are established, with detailed descriptions.
Geo-Disaster Modeling and Analysis also contains many appealing and practical examples of geo-disaster modeling and analysis, including the fluidized movement of flow-like landslides, lateral spread of liquefied soils, and flow slides in landfills. In Geo-Disaster Modeling and Analysised SPH simulations, the propagation of geo-disasters is effectively reproduced. Dynamic behaviors of geomaterials during propagation are ascertained, including sliding path, flow velocity, maximum distance reached, and distribution of deposits. In this way, Geo-Disaster Modeling and Analysis presents a means for mapping hazardous areas, estimating hazard intensity, and identifying and designing appropriate protective measures.

The Book
Soul to God
We are Soul
We are Soul—you and I. We are loved by God and chart our course through universes of Spirit into worlds of matter, sustained by a continual feed of God's Love. We sojourn into these worlds with lost memories of our identity and of how we inhale the very breath of God each moment. This God-love sustains us life after life, from heaven to earth—and back again. Its winds fill our sails propelling us on the greatest adventure of all—our return home to the heart of God, and then back again in loving service to our brothers and sisters-of-the-journey.
The Book
By Michael R. Kramer
At 12 years of age, a powerful spiritual energy lifted me out of my body into a world of extreme light, profound love, and bliss. My life goal became to understand and duplicate that experience at will. At 13, I began to remember a past life as a Tibetan Buddhist Lama, who taught his students the aggressive, dispassionate sport of debate, to logically challenge everyone, including oneself. Inspired by these memories, my challenge to authority did not endear me to the Christian Jesuit Brothers at my all-boys, Catholic High School. Thus began my life path and conflict, rejecting traditional thought in search of an all-inclusive wisdom that made sense, that included all religions, and sciences—that led to my goal of God Realization. Soul to God is my personal account of the miracles, stories, and insights I experienced along the way.

"Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things."Peter Drucker
And it is the proper role of government to address the imbalances of power amongst its various constituents to maintain equal protection, as much as it is the role of government to guard against incursions of the powerful from abroad.
"I believe that the recent course of our history has demonstrated that, while we may utilize their expert knowledge of certain problems and the special facilities with which. they are familiar, we cannot allow our economic life to be controlled by that small group of men whose chief outlook upon the social welfare is tinctured by the fact that they can make huge profits from the lending of money and the marketing of securities--an outlook which deserves the adjectives 'selfish' and 'opportunist.'You have been struck, I know, by the tragic irony of our economic situation today. We have not been brought to our present state by any natural calamity--by drought or floods or earthquakes or by the destruction of our productive machine or our man power. Indeed, we have a superabundance of raw materials, a more than ample supply of equipment for manufacturing these materials into the goods which we need, and transportation and commercial facilities for making them available to all who need them. But raw materials stand unused, factories stand idle, railroad traffic continues to dwindle, merchants sell less and less, while millions of able-bodied men and women, in dire need, are clamoring for the opportunity to work. This is the awful paradox with which we are confronted, a stinging rebuke that challenges our power to operate the economic machine which we have created.We are presented with a multitude of views as to how we may again set into motion that economic machine. Some hold to the theory that the periodic slowing down of our economic machine is one of its inherent peculiarities--a peculiarity which we must grin, if we can, and bear because if we attempt to tamper with it we shall cause even worse ailments. According to this theory, as I see it, if we grin and bear long enough, the economic machine will eventually begin to pick up speed and in the course of an indefinite number of years will again attain that maximum number of revolutions which signifies what we have been wont to miscall prosperity, but which, alas, is but a last ostentatious twirl of the economic machine before it again succumbs to that mysterious impulse to slow down again.This attitude toward our economic machine requires not only greater stoicism, but greater faith in immutable economic law and less faith in the ability of man to control what he has created than I, for one, have. Whatever elements of truth lie in it, it is an invitation to sit back and do nothing; and all of us are suffering today, I believe, because this comfortable theory was too thoroughly implanted in the minds of some of our leaders, both in finance and in public affairs...No, our basic trouble was not an insufficiency of capital. It was an insufficient distribution of buying power coupled with an over-sufficient speculation in production. While wages rose in many of our industries, they did not as a whole rise proportionately to the reward to capital, and at the same time the purchasing power of other great groups of our population was permitted to shrink. We accumulated such a superabundance of capital that our great bankers were vying with each other, some of them employing questionable methods, in their efforts to lend this capital at home and abroad.I believe that we are at the threshold of a fundamental change in our popular economic thought, that in the future we are going to think less about the producer and more about the consumer. Do what we may have to do to inject life into our ailing economic order, we cannot make it endure for long unless we can bring about a wiser, more equitable distribution of the national income.It is well within the inventive capacity of man, who has built up this great social and economic machine capable of satisfying the wants of all, to insure that all who are willing and able to work receive from it at least the necessities of life. In such a system, the reward for a day's work will have to be greater, on the average, than it has been, and the reward to capital, especially capital which is speculative, will have to be less. But I believe that after the experience of the last three years, the average citizen would rather receive a smaller return upon his savings in return for greater security for the principal, than experience for a moment the thrill or the prospect of being a millionaire only to find the next moment that his fortune, actual or expected, has withered in his hand because the economic machine has again broken down.It is toward that objective that we must move if we are to profit by our recent experiences. Probably few will disagree that the goal is desirable. Yet many, of faint heart, fearful of change, sitting tightly on the roof-tops in the flood, will sternly resist striking out for it, lest they fail to attain it. Even among those who are ready to attempt the journey there will be violent differences of opinion as to how it should be made. So complex, so widely distributed over our whole society are the problems which confront us that men and women of common aim do not agree upon the method of attacking them. Such disagreement leads to doing nothing, to drifting. Agreement may come too late."Franklin D. Roosevelt, Address at Oglethorpe University, May 22, 1932

We seem to be having two debates about Google -- on the cultural side, the question is whether the company violates user privacy too much and, on the business side, is Google a monopoly threat in the marketplace?
But these are not separate issues at all.
Larry Page and Sergey Brin did not create Google because they are prurient people interested in rifling through peoples' personal lives. I don't think they could care less. As the saying goes, for them it's just business.
Because Google's business model is based on obliterating user privacy as much as possible, solving the Google privacy problem will largely solve the Google antitrust problem.
Start with one basic reality: users of Google Search, Gmail, YouTube and the rest of its services are not Google's customers. They're the product. Those services are honeypots used to attract users, strip them of personal data, and then package them using their demographic and behavioral data for advertisers -- Google's real customers.
Today, Google's most recent move to completely integrate user data generated on different company sites, with a single privacy policy governing all services takes effect. This just ratifies the reality of an integrated market for user data across the Googleverse. In Europe, the Article 29 Working Party of data privacy regulators in Europe has demanded Google reverse this decision. As the French data agency CNIL wrote in a letter to Google this week, speaking on behalf of European regulators:
[O]ur preliminary analysis shows that Google's new policy does not meat the requirements of the European Directive on Data Protection... Moreover, rather than promoting transparency, the terms of the new policy and the fact that Google claims it will combine data across services raise fears and questions about Google's actual practices...
The CNIL and the EU data protection authorities are deeply concerned about the combination of data across services and have strong doubts about the lawfulness and fairness of such processing.
Stating that they intend to act to change the policy by Google, the European regulators are aiming at the heart of the Google problem, but there should be a more explicit regulatory discussion linking the privacy and antitrust aspects of this issue.
Regulators need to more clearly recognize that when Google moves into a new sector and gives a consumer product away, the destruction of rival businesses is just a byproduct of its goal of annexing more user data to its Borg-like mass of data.
Google doesn't even have to completely control any of those sub-sectors, since no rival in any of them have its integrated access to user data across so many different services. And that control of user data gives Google an almost complete monopoly on its core real business of selling search advertising. While a user of a search engine may be able to think that competition is "just a click away," the reality for advertisers is that there is no alternative.
For advertisers, the choice is between Google, which in Europe has intimate personal information on over 80% plus of online users, versus competitors like Bing of Yahoo with a tiny percentage of search user information and without Google's comprehensive multi-sector reach into user private information.
And the failure of competition shows up in the prices charged to online advertisers. In theory, if competition was functioning, while Google would make more money overall with more users clicking ads, the cost per click should be nearly the same for Google competitors. However, Google actually gets a premium prime per click, even in the United States where Bing has a more significant share of searches, indicating serious monopoly power with the power to get a monopoly price from its advertising customers. According to analysts, Google receives anywhere from twice to five times as much for the same ad using the same kind of search terms. So the result is that while Google is printing money from its online advertising operation, Microsoft lost an estimated $2.6 billion last year on its Bing operation.
However, if regulators act to tighten privacy policy, they will in turn restrict the source of Google's monopoly power as well.
A good first step is the Article 29 Working Party's demand that Google not collapse privacy policies across its different services. Users should retain the ability to choose which data they share with Google on each and every individual service they use--and not have the data from one service used on another by advertisers.
Requiring a clear "opt-in" agreement by users for each and every use of their personal data will also help encourage users to demand full economic value for their data and refuse its use for the most exploitive purposes. And users should have clear ways to see exactly what data is known and revoke access to that data for marketing purposes at any time.
The end-product of tighter user control of their privacy will be less data controlled by Google, more room for alternative companies to compete by accommodating those privacy concerns, and less antitrust concerns about Google. Google will be forced to compete based on better technology again, not pure brute control of user data, and the company itself will be all the better for it.

Women with a university education are choosing to have children later in life, a British research reveals.
It shows that just over one in five female graduates become mothers by the age of 30. This compares to three in five in the mid-1970s.
Experts say the change is linked to women choosing to delay a family because they wish to pursue a career and good lifestyle.
The study, published in the journal Research in Public Policy, said: 'Changing participation in education can only explain one half of the decline.
'What has driven fertility is not just that more women are now pursuing a higher level of education, but better-educated women have very different work and family trajectories than before.
'The generations that saw the biggest increases in childlessness also saw big increases in full-time employment rates, suggesting that some women were choosing careers and not families.'
The changes also mean many educated women are now childless, it added. One in ten women now aged 50 does not have children. But one out of five women in their 30s and 40s is without children. And the rate is still climbing.

1999 Nissan MicraReview
Great First Car! — Got this car as my first car when I was 19 years old. It had about 175.000 km on it, and was still running absolutely perfect. In my time of owning it I had not problems at all, petrol costs were really low and maintenance was close to nothing. It's a fun little car to drive, you can get it into some amazingly small parking spaces, and the 1.3 engine serves it's job well. It's no racer, but a great car to get around town, very cheap to own and very reliable. I really loved this car, and I still regret having sold it to this day. Would definately recommend this as a first car or as a great small car to get around town in.
Pros: Fun to drive, VERY low maintenance costs and gas mileage, well built and reliable
Cons: None in particular

2nd Floor, Old Town Hall
Whittaker Avenue
Richmond TW9 1TP
Friday July 7 2017
Jo has a series of booked holidays and other commitments so luckily the husband formerly known as 63 regular (no longer such as he has now retired) volunteered to be my photographer. Given the fine weather we headed slightly 'out of town' to very accessible Richmond and its museum.
Like most borough museums it is part of the Library Service and as such is housed upstairs in the Old Town Hall – a rather sweet specimen of town hall architecture close to the river. I am not sure where Richmond now runs its affairs from – it is something of a London anomaly especially in its choice of MPs – but the Town Hall does nicely for the Museum. (Twickenham I'm told)
The first thing we learn is that Richmond was not always Richmond, having started its (medieval) life as Shene or Sheen, but it does have a long history of royal connections and this to a greater extent has marked its development as an area. Edward III was the first monarch to decide to build here – a handy journey upstream from London. (Henry V would later found England's largest Carthusian Abbey/Monastery nearby when these things mattered.) When Edward's palace burnt down another was hastily built and then another – by this time we had got to Henry VII. Henry had an earldom up in Richmond Yorkshire and so liked the Thames-side residence he decided to rename it in honour of his 'other home' and the name stuck. The 'Shene' bit got relegated to the right and renamed East Sheen. His son spent time here but then cast envious eyes on Wolseley's residence along (I'm never very good with up/down) the river at Hampton.
Henry VIII's presence at Hampton Court meant that his various followers (and detractors) all tended to move to these 'still handy for London' outskirts so the various houses that went up here all belonged to what sounded like the 'cast list' from 'Wolf Hall'.
By this time I was thinking whether Richmond had ever been home to any 'ordinary people' but there was a board setting out very clearly the manorial system' and even more so the 'dues' of those at the bottom of the heap to those above them. '
With the large Charterhouse Monastery destroyed (Cromwell this time) and the palace in ruins after Charles I, with bits recycled up and down the streets things seem to have gone a bit quiet. No less than five Royal parks had been established (today Richmond and Old Deer parks) so there was never going to be a building boom. We liked the keys for the parks and also Richmond Bridge keeper's leather money bag for tolls. Crossing the river hereabouts was always an issue – there was a ford at Brentford (no s**t Sherlock), a bridge at Kingston and a ferry (which still exists between Richmond and Ham House) so any locality with pretensions needed its own bridge. The money was raised, not quite by public subscription by via the Tontine system a sort of combination of shares and lottery with the 'last guy standing' taking all the shares (and any profit). Still it resulted in Richmond getting its bridge, a forerunner of the current one. The little trumpeter is a replica from said bridge.
The next major phase of development seems to have come with the Georgians, III in particular, where the Age of Enlightenment and the fashion for spas coincided. Not having waters to drink other than the rather dubious Thames meant Richmond 's life was rather limited as a spa town but George III did establish a Royal observatory here. Richmond was fashionable for longer than it was considered a spa boasting a theatre (Edmund Kean was often seen and heard declaiming his Richard III) and both inns and hotels as visitors came from London for all sorts of pleasures.
There are the usual displays of clay pipes and pots including a rather fine 'Bellarmine' originally from Germany and poking fun at the Roman Catholic hierarchy. Again with limited local industry development of smaller homes seemed limited to tradesmen's establishments. There is a corner with chairs where you can watch videos celebrating the details of fine architecture (cornices/lintels/architraves etc) in the grand houses round Richmond Green and radiating out from there. It does not seem to be a coincidence that the Lord Mayor of London 'retired' to Richmond and was promptly elected its first mayor.
The boards tell us that 'the railways made Richmond' or with three local stations (as seen on an old estate agents board' it became (and remains) prime commuting territory and continued its dominance as a venue for 'a good day out' offering riverside treats and many inns, and by the Thirties several cinemas. There were souvenirs to be had, a proper transport map to guide you around of course the option for souvenirs.
The only industry it seemed to boast was that rayon was developed here, with two organic chemists Cross and Bevan forming the Kew Viscose Spinning syndicate. They eventually sold out to Courtaulds but I did learn that Viscose and modal are all derivatives of rayon; this last is hardly used today with its connotations of post war austerity.
As is now expected the local museums will look at the impact of both World Wars on their boroughs and people. The museum seems to consider the impact of the first war to be minimal (what about the loss of life at the front?) and certainly there was no local damage. Ironically however it was the war that gave Richmond two of its most memorable institutions and both were linked in their aims to help the wounded servicemen of the war – namely the Poppy Factory and the Star & Garter Home. The latter started life as a hotel, becoming grander and grander, but then falling out of fashion so became a home for those same disabled servicemen until they were moved to more suitable premises in 2013; as a listed building it is now a very prestigious and pricey housing development.
There is the bomb damage map on display from World War II and also an installation where you can listen to the oral history memories of both world wars by former Richmond residents. We liked the handmade ARP and Home Guard dolls that a daughter had made from her father's original uniforms.
Post war development in Richmond has been limited – a few estates in the Fifties but little since then and what has been is mainly commercial. With no major employers there seems to have been little in the way of an invited (as per 'Windrush' ) or subsequent overseas workforce leaving one very much with one's initial impression that Richmond is well …for the rich. I t certainly has an interesting history as a borough and area but it is one that lacks the diversity and vibrancy of many of the other London boroughs – or at least as portrayed through its very neat and well captioned museum.

*Am now 100% sure thanks to Vogue who shot Gwyneth (as in photographed; shooting her just wouldn't be nice, unless you're a Gwyneth hater. And I'm not…) in her kitchen which just happens to be exactly the same as this one here. So I was right and I take great pleasure in saying that because that doesn't happen too often!
**Ok, so this post has now gone around the WWW (six months later!!) and I feel a little bad now for sharing with the world! Especially when 99% of all the comments elsewhere are really, really awful (and often nothing to do with the actual home!!!). They're insulting to her and also to the designers, who are really very talented.
Yes, it's white and clean and perhaps not like most homes, but lots of people have white homes (hello, sweden!). And also, these images would have been taken before they moved in – or before they've settled in completely. Architects and interior designers always take photographs of their work at near-completion stage for their portfolios. They're not stylists and they're not the owners, so the space is always going to look different once the owners move in, moved ALL their furniture and personal items in and lived in it for a while. I have no doubt there are now books and toys and kids paintings and a TV. And it's also going to look different if it's a house you only live in for maybe a few weeks here and there in a year.
Anyway, for some reason GP strikes a nerve with a lot of people. I have no doubt if this was an anonymous house as an example of a designer's work (um, which it was until I blurted out to world who it belonged to – sorry Gwynnie/R&W), it'd be much more applauded than it has been. That's a shame.
Have you met fab design duo Roman & Williams? They're former movie-set directors (they did Zoolander and Practical Magic) who branched out into interior design/architecture/furniture design after A-list actor after A-list actor asked them to work their magic on their homes. From what I've seen, I love their style. And I love how they manage to make a home look like the person who lives there – they beautified Kate Hudson's LA home into the perfect mix of Kate Hudson: slightly hippy chic, slightly rock chick, slightly wordly and exotic. I loved it all, and I will post it at some stage if you haven't seen before.
A while back I read that Roman and Williams had also designed the interior of Gwyneth Paltrow's Tribeca loft. It was mentioned how they'd transformed an antique Indian door into a swing and hung it in the living room. It was her favourite thing. While browsing their site recently I noticed one of the posts under "work" was a Tribeca Loft. And there, in the living room shot? A swing. Possibly made from an old Indian door. Gwyneth's? Had to be, right? Then I noticed the pic name in a child's bedroom: apple's room. Bingo! I was pretty excited to find it. Of course, there is a chance it's not her home, but I'd say it's pretty slim. So, welcome to Gwyneth's house. And welcome to my sad realisation that I have ridiculously pointless research/investigative skills… Let's begin the tour (click to enlarge).
Close up of the swing. Gwyneth told W mag: "Even the chains are like a work of art." She's right - beautiful. I need a swing in my living room dammit. Maybe when Layla is a little older and not as likely to be KOed every time she walks near it.
I don't care that these closets would not fit with anything in my house, the nine-year-old pretend princess inside me wants them very much.
Apple's room – how magical is the bed?! Could also be classed as nightmare-inducing, but I'll stick with magical.
I love the kitchen, main bedroom, Apple's bed (remember, I like tospook little children) and the light in the living room (reminds me of a feathered gown). It's a little ornate in parts for me, but after seeing her Hampton's home in House & Garden (RIP), I think it feels like Gwyneth. Do you think? And ultimately, that's the main thing: I think a home should reflect the owners. I don't think it reflects Chris Martin, but I def see Gwynnie in decor form here. What do you think?

- yeah right, like a little girls room is going to look like that once they've woken up!! lol
- Wall paper on the ceiling is one of my most favorite tricks!
It's always a subtle surprise when it is finally noticed, and it doesn't take away from the rest of the room art and decor.Over all the colors and finishes seem very formal but, I bet upon a closer touch it is rather little hand friendly.
- beautiful………..
- Its really beautiful for the most part , not sure about the eating nook in the kitchen though its a bit "happy days" for me . I do love Apples room though and think the bed is just gorgeous !
- My home feels so hillbilly compared to this. Why can't I have a gazillion dollars? Bah.That kitchen is to die for as is the breakfast bar area. Great detective skills!
- I think you nailed it. Their project list describes the project as Tribeca Penthouse – 4,440 sq. ft. – New York, NY Winter 2008
For an Oscar-winning actress, her musician husband, and their two children, Roman and Williams completed a total redesign, including all interior architecture and decoration, of this Tribeca apartment to make it suitable for both entertaining and for the needs of a young family.i like the tree bed
- Love Apple's bed and the kitchen / diner! But overall the decor is a little chilly for me – this is coming from someone who's been told you need sunglasses to attend their house.
- i absolutly LOVE the swing chair and the lounge and her bedroom..the rest is a bit full on, but i could live in the rest
- Oh I want Apple's bed!
- that kitchen is gorgeous. I rather like it, very hollywood.
- Heeeeaaaaaven!!!!!!!
I think the word "impeccable" came about purely so it could one day describe that very special place!
- I want that swing!!! What a perfect place for curling up with a book or having an afternoon nap. stunning!
- Thank you for this post.
I love the kitchen and this breakfast bar ))
Have a great dayxoxo,
- I don't thinkI would want to even touch anything, it all looks a bit too perfect. And ritzy. I really like Apple's bed though =)And what do you mean RIP? To House & Garden magazine or to her Hamptons home?? I'm confused.
- Wowee…. what a find….you know I love all things Gwyneth.. I might have to repost, just so I can have this on file! Would love to have tea in the living room. The kitchen is spectauclar. Apple's bed is unbelievable (does she have any toys?) and doesn't that master bed look like crazy super long? Oh, how I would love to see what the house looked liked on a normal day. Are there trails of toys on the floors, snacks on the tables, and beds unmade like at my house?
xx Trina
- Oh to be a celebrity, its a beautiful house. Love Apple's room.Thanks Belinda for stopping by my blog
- great to see their home- I'm a bit of a chris and gywnnie tragic. love the luxe elements but together its all bit too sterile for me
- wow….is what i said when i clicked on that KITCHEN IMAGE and it blew up to a closer look….unreal what so much money can buy you. She's go tthe best of both worlds…a loft and a rockstar….LUCKY gal!I love it!Jen Ramos
'Cards & Prints You'll Love…'
- absolutely adore the hallway with that gentle lace wallpaper look. gorgeous home
- I know what you mean about the kiddos getting "KO-ed" — I have a 21 month old and I thought the same thing. She'd probably get KO-ed by my 4-yr old on the swing!
- Rather fantastic find, you should be proud of yourself. She has great style, I loved her other house too, oh to have the money to do whatever you like. They did a great job
- I agree it's beautiful – but it looks like a model apartment, not one that's lived in. There are no photos, no personal touches. I love the bed, but the poor child! Where are her toys? It just looks so… vanilla. Incredibly expensive vanilla, but vanilla nonetheless.
Oh wait, that's right. It's GOOP.
- Definitely her house.. she's on Vogue US next month and the photos were taken at her Tribeca loft.. One of the photos was taken in her kitchen and it looks exactly like the kitchen here.I am 25 and soon to be married…is it crazy that I desperately want Apple's bed?
- All this, and she's SUCH an environmentalist! What? A 4400 sq ft second (third? fourth? fifth?) home with all those lovely furnishings isn't Saving The Planet????Well. *ahem*. I'm sure she buys indulgences ('scuse me – carbon credits) so that Al Gore and other wealthy people like him, can get even richer. Oh, wait. The money goes to the children. That's the ticket: It's for the children. AHAHAHAHAHA!
- My friend made Apple's bed but she wasn't quite "sure" it was for Gwyneth. Now we absolutely know for sure. Sadly Gwyn seems a little afraid of color. Her beach house is all white like this place (although this is actually cream).
- Way waaaay too icy. Perhaps if the living room floor was a dark wood, or there was one non-neutral colour in the whole place. Seriously, it looked like a winter wonderland, but so sterile to live in. Really bizarre.
- I just love this loft. I could live in vanilla easily, there is just too much milk chocolate in every store I walk into these days.
- Beautiful home, this is Gwyneth to a T, but Chris is a Man who is always spotted in the same black cargos, and has 4 T'shirts to his name (God Love the Man), so I assume he just sits back and lets her decorate, and enjoys what she does. Apple's Bed is too cool, and the kitchen is fab, the master bedrooms bed looks huge, bigger and longer than a King sized bed, (I want one). I think the whole place is exquisite, thanks for sharing this!!!
- Of course the kitchen is perfection … no one actually cooks or eats there! I'm sure Mario Batali just whips stuff up and they eat it. Who lives in a white house with 2 small children anyway?! Sure its asthetically beautiful but its not a home … just a beautiful empty shell without a soul.
- very pretty but not like a home at all. What kind of home has you running after the kids every second so they don't ruin that gorgeous wallpaper. five stars for beauty, zero stars for it's livability.
- karaokegirl – I'm afraid you are wrong! Gwyneth loves to cook (sepecially with the Wolf steamer that you see in this kitchen – which she raved about and used on Oprah's show) and has a kitchen installed whenever she lives on set. She was taught to cook and is apparently quite good at it.Just discovered this blog and really love it! Thanks Belinda!
- Gwyn has helpers so her kids dont get knocked by the swing, colour on the walls, or spill stuff on the white everything.& Im sure this pic was taken after the interior designers finished but before the family moved in.
- I went here http://www.romanandwilliams.com/projectlist.html and then clicked here http://rwwork.blogspot.com/2010/02/tribeca-penthouse.html…I guess they gotta lot of hits. Now he pages doesnt load.
- I think you are right about GP-she does strike a nerve-her comments about how
the English felt about their bombing vs how the U.S. reacted after 9/11 were
cruel and unkind. I mean really-she is an American and should keep her
yap shut when it comes to bashing her home land.
- it looks like a giant macaroon
- sterile

The verdict is in: Kids dig Zeppelin…well, most of them, at least.
The latest reaction clip from FBE is "Kids React To Led Zeppelin," and while they received mostly glowing reviews, Jackson (age 13) was not a fan and had this pearl of wisdom to offer about his feelings on music, in general:
"I just don't like real instruments in music. I don't like real music, according to my dad."
Sweetheart…your dad is correct.
Once again, if these videos help introduce great music to kids, we say keep them coming!

Based on the growing demand for qualified professionals, the Certified Energy Auditor (CEA) and Certified Energy Auditor in Training (CEAIT) certifications were developed and added to the broad portfolio of professional certifications offered by the Association of Energy Engineers. Rising energy costs and inefficiency in plants and buildings is continually driving the need for trained and experienced energy auditors. The CEA certification is one that identifies professionals as having the required knowledge and experience needed to succeed in the growing field of energy auditing.
From 14 March 2016, ESCO Accreditation by the Dubai Regulatory and Supervisory Bureau is mandatory for ESCOs wishing to participate in Etihad ESCO tenders. This is subject to a 6 month compliance period to allow ESCOs to seek accreditation. After 14 September 2016, non-accredited ESCOs will not be accepted to participate in Etihad ESCO tenders.
Effective 22 November 2015, all applicants for Energy Auditor Accreditation will be required to possess the qualification of either AEE Certified Energy Auditor (CEA), AEE Certified Energy Manager (CEM), ASHRAE Building Energy Assessment Professional (BEAP) or equivalent. The qualification of AEE Certified Measurement and Verification Professional (CMVP), albeit recommended to possess, will not be sufficient to accredit Energy Auditors.
The prerequisites to qualify for the certification process have been designed to take into account the possible diversity of education and practical experience an individual may have. Candidates are required to verify completion of a minimum of 2 hours of Safety Training within the last three years and participation in five commercial audits within the last three years. Two of the audits are a minimum of 10,000 sq. ft. Also, the audits have been of at least two different building types. Also, each CEA candidate must meet one of the following criteria:
Work Experience
A four-year degree in engineering or architecture
At least 3 years of experience in energy auditing and/or participating in a team doing energy assessments
A four-year non-engineering degree
At least 4 years of experience in energy auditing and/or participating in a team doing energy assessments
A two-year technical degree
At least 5 years of experience in energy auditing and/or participating in a team doing energy assessments
Ten years or more verified experience in energy auditing and/or participating in a team doing energy assessments
If you don't yet meet the education or experience eligibility requirements for the CEA, you may be interested in pursuing our Energy Auditor in Training certification.
All CEA candidates must attend one of AEE's preparatory CEA training seminars conducted by BUID and pass in a four-hour period a written open-book exam, which proctored by BUID.
All CEA candidates taking the exam must answer 100 questions from all 10 sections of the CEA Body of Knowledge.
CEA Examination: Maximum Score 1000 points Minimum Score Required 700
The CEA Examination contains the following mandatory subjects:
Body of Knowledge
Developing an Audit Strategy & Plan
Utility Analysis, Renewable Opportunities
Data Collection & Economic Analysis
Lighting Systems
HVAC & Heating Systems
Motors, Drives & Compressed Air
Ventilation Systems
Domestic Hot Water Systems
Building Envelope
Water Conservations
Your completed application (4 page application, employment verification and/or client verification and college transcripts) must be received by the Certification Administrator at least 4 weeks prior to the date of the examination for which you wish to sit.
If all of your supporting documentation is not received prior to your test date, it will not preclude you from sitting for the exam.
Email: email@example.com to start the process.
Fees for the CEA certification process are as follows:
•Certification Application, 3 days Live Seminar and Examination: ◦$ 1850 (6818 AED)
Discount of 100$ for early registration and payment (conditions apply)
For information on maintaining your certification, please go to our certification renewals website: www.aeecenter.org/certificationrenewal
Since its inception in 1981, the Certified Energy Manager (CEM) credential has become widely accepted and used as a measure of professional accomplishment within the energy management field.
Owners and developers are demanding green buildings to save money while protecting the environment and occupant's health. LEED ® has already been adopted by UAE, USA, Canada, Mexico, and India.
In BUiD we value the collaboration in research accross disciplines, cultures and countries. We believe that there should be no border in collaboration in making our world a better place.

RepairPal.com only lists one common problem with the fuel gauge of the 2001 Chevrolet Silverado: erratic sensor operation making the gauge read the fuel level incorrectly. Repairing this problem requires replacing the vehicle's fuel level sensor. This problem affects both 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and 2500 HD vehicles.Continue Reading
Another problem common to Chevrolet Silverado fuel systems is a fuel pump failure that causes the engine to stall and crank upon ignition but not fully restart. To avoid this problem, replace the fuel filter every 30,000 miles to prevent forcing the fuel pump to strain itself while in operation. This is a common issue on a number of Silverados with 4.3-liter V-6 engines, 4.8-liter V-6 engines and 5.3-liter V-8 engines manufactured between the years 1999 and 2013. It typically manifests after about 100,000 miles, but has been known to occur after as few as 10,000 miles or as many as 213,000 miles.
The 2001 Chevrolet Silverado has a 4.8-liter V-8 engine and an automatic transmission. User reviews on Kelley Blue Book typically give it above-average ratings for reliability at high mileages, although owners of 2001 Silverados with high mileage should eventually have the entire fuel pump module replaced in order to guarantee the best performance. Typically, this problem occurs after anywhere between 30,000 and 256,000 miles. Erratic fuel gauge operation is a common problem on Chevrolet Silverado vehicles manufactured between the years 1999 and 2013, with exception to the years 2009, 2010 and 2012.Learn more about Car Parts & Maintenance

"Making sports alive" is the slogan that might fit the best for our live event apps services. When launching the MySports event app for the first cycling race it hit the number one position at the sports app top 10. The need for the live event app was proven.
The live event app will make a sports event more transparent. The app is a also great tool for a sponsor as the event app can be fully customized at the wish of the sponsor.
The Mysports Event app is the first app to combine RFID chip technology en GPS technology making it possible to follow your friends even when they are not using the app at the event. A great tool for the crowd as they know the position of the athletes. As a result the app will cause more interaction along the course as the position of the athletes is known.
The app also replaces the website as it shows the crucial information in a nutshell using easy one-click navigation. The event will get less question as the users can find answers at a click of a button. But there is more. Using the app the athlete can see how to run or ride the course, where to get drinks and where to go in case of emergencies. Also the event organizer is in full control knowing where the athletes are for crowd control or in case of emergencies. The app also shows a tweet deck which does not require a twitter account.
Finally it is possible to send out a push notification so the athletes are update instantly. The result is direct action of the athletes and crowd.
Be in control and let your athletes and the crowd be in control. Ask for the event app.

Vitamin D (Vitamin D3) is synthesised when the skin is exposed to UV light such as the sun. Due to a large portion of time being spent inside and poor weather conditions (particularly in the UK) most people get inadequate sunlight exposure to make Vitamin D. Many prominent Vitamin D experts now suggest we should look to obtain 2000IU/Day from all sources.
All of the Vitamin D3 we carry is in the correct form and oil softgels. By correct form we mean Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) rather than synthetic vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), Vitamin D3 is what is made in our skin when we are in sunlight and Vitamin D3 is what we recommend to supplement and raise blood levels.
Our Vitamin D supplements are supplied in highly absorbable oil softgels. We also ensure to stock these products as Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin, without adequate dietary fat (or an oil base) cholecalciferol wouldn't be absorbed properly from the digestive tract and thus could be ineffective.
Our range varies from 1000 IU softgels all the way up to 10,000 IU and our prices are among the most competitive in Europe, so you can be sure to find something that suits you. We are now pleased to stock Liquid Vitamin D which provides substaintial cost savings on regular softgels and allows for higher doses if required.
