Double glass windows with water
[Quoted]
A group of researchers at the Polytechnic University in Madrid (UPM) are developing a system to cool the windows by adding a 1cm slot through which the water circulates on the inside to absorb the heat of the sunbeams.
The spin-off project of the UPM is called Inteliglass.
With its installation, buildings with glass facades could save up to 70% on air conditioning. Contact Inteliglass for more information: creacion.empresas@upm.es (Tel: +34 91 336 59 71). via::Habitat Futura ::UPM Inteliglass (in Castilian)

"The home sales market isn't what it was," says Wendy Holmes, a Douglas County spokeswoman, on the housing downturn. "But these incentives are helping to move homes, especially for workers that service everybody."

Quoted article : The best kept e-secret at JPJ
PETALING JAYA: Few drivers realise that they can renew their driving licences online without having to leave the comfort of their homes.
And for a small fee, they can even have their licence renewal slip delivered to them by registered mail or courier.
With few knowing about the facility available on the Road Transport Department's (JPJ) website since April last year, the response to the online renewal service has been poor.
JPJ director-general Datuk Ahmad Mustapha Abdul Rashid said only 687 people renewed their licences online so far, way short of the 1,000-driver target expected in the first year of implementation. Every year, some seven million motorist renew their licences.
“Maybe it is because it has not been promoted enough by the e-services (concessionaires).
“But hopefully things will pick up. Malaysians are a bit sceptical at first (about new technology), but later on they will accept and use it, like on-line banking,” he told The Star.
He also added that there were 11 million Competent Driver’s Licence (CDL) holders in the country.
Drivers' may renew their CDL by accessing the JPJ website at www.jpj.gov.my, and clicking on the CDL Renewal Online link.
Applicants need to provide the usual personal particulars, such as their MyKad number, licence expiry date and their mobile phone number.
Via the online form, they can choose to renew their licences from one to five years, as well as decide on how they would like to collect and pay for the renewal slip.
The fee remain the same – a renewal fee of RM30 per year and a processing fee of RM2. Drivers who want their licences delivered to them will be charged a small delivery fee between RM5 and RM10, depending on location.
Those who do not want the renewal slip may head to any state JPJ branch to upload the renewal information into their MyKad.
Applicants can also choose to collect their renewal slip from one of the many e-service centres in the country, which are operated by e-services concessionaires MyEG Services Bhd and mySPEED Sdn Bhd. Payment can be made via credit card, or electronic online payment systems such as e-cash and e-debit.
Ahmad Mustapha assured users that the system was secure and reliable.
“So far, I haven’t heard anything about the system going down. And it is safe to provide your financial details. There have been no complaints,” he said.
By renewing their licences online, drivers will no longer have to worry about forgetting to renew their licences in future, as the system will send a reminder via SMS to the mobile phone number provided

Difference between OEM and ODM
Searching for the right source and term for ODM, here it is...
[Quoted from weblink]
The biggest difference between OEM and ODM doesnt only lie in their names. OEM products are specially produced for brand manufacturers and they could only use this specific brand without any abuse of other names of middle manufacturers.
While ODM products is in a different situation. It depends on whether brand enterprises have exclusively own the copyright of these products, if not, middle manufactures are entitled to manufacture themselves with a precondition of using no design recognition of concerned enterprises.

New Orleans Unveils Rebuilding Plan
[Quoted]
By BECKY BOHRER
After struggling for months to come up with $1.1 billion for stage one of New Orleans' hurricane rebuilding plan, city officials faced with growing public frustration intend to move ahead with a drastically scaled-back first step of $216 million.
The blueprint being released Friday by city Recovery Director Ed Blakely is far more modest than the one he issued in March. But he said it will at least get the rebuilding started and give the public desperately needed signs of progress -- which, in turn, will encourage private investment in New Orleans.

Green Value –Green buildings, growing assets
[QUOTED]
Green Value –Green buildings, growing assets
A new report published by the UK-based Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) has identified a clear
- Linkage between green building practices and value. The report suggests that green buildings:
Are more readily leased; - Command higher rents;
- Have higher tenant retention rates;
- Generally enjoy lower operating costs;
- May benefit from available grants and subsidies through increasing energy efficiency and lessening greenhouse gas emissions;
- Improve business productivity of their tenants, affecting churn, renewals, inducements and fitting-out costs; and
- Benefit occupants to a degree that may exceed the underlying asset's value

Attracting, Retaining Talent
Attracting, Retaining Talent (Is Fun the Answer?)
[Quoted]
The Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce had an amusing, insightful article (http://www.djc.com/news/ae/11192765.html) about steps being taken by local architecture and engineering firms to attract and retain talent in a tight job market.
With the article noting that all firms in the area pay well, some firms, to stand out, are adopting unusual strategies and perks to keep their staffs happy and to lure top job prospects.
Among the offerings:
skateboard luges in lunchrooms,
movie nights, frequent parties and even visits from Santa Claus (in addition to paid-for trips to research design around the world).
I'd love to hear from community members about effective strategies their own firms are using to attract and retain top talent.

Woah... just imagine. Do they really get to play and work at the same time?
1. Well I guess so. When you finish your work!
2. Yes, its a positive approach but hmm...
3. I'm also looking into perspective or ways to venture/ solutions into such alternatives?
