Since Obama doesn’t seem to want to give much of that money he is printing to US green tech companies, we may as well import our green technology from China.  They developed their lead in green technology from the money they make off of us so why no take advantage.

China spends .6 Billion and the US spends .6 Billion on Clean Tech

Giving the trillions that Obama has printed and given to the wall street thieves who all but destroyed the entire financial world, it is difficult to see why he can print and buy energy independence and jobs by putting in enough solar cells and infrastructure to power the US entirely off of solar energy.

The skyscraper emerged at the dawn of the industrial revolution, when mass production of standardized parts made these buildings economically possible. It remains the quintessential building type of the twentieth century, and also a celebration of technology and innovation. While all skyscrapers depend on advances in building systems, the “High-Tech” skyscraper celebrates these advances by incorporating structural elements directly into its aesthetic design strategy. Hong Kong Shangai Back Headquarters (Foster & Partners, Hong Kong, 1985)

The de facto cathedral to Hong Kong’s Commerce. Hong Kong Shangai Bank Headquarters plays a critical symbolic role in the image of the city. Foster’s striking steel and glass tower stands in sharp contrast to the bank’s former headquarters, a monumental structure symbolic to the community’s financial stability.

The building was conceived as a modular system, consisting of megatruss armatures and suspended infill modules. The suspension structure allows for column-free banking walls, while building services, elevator banks, and fire stairs are located on the perimeter.

The building occupies a site of almost spiritual significance in the geomantic atlas determining Hong Kong’s fortunes. According to Feng Shui principles, the flow of energy from the peak of the harbor is critical to the financial well-being of the city.

The Hong Kong Shanghai Bank building epitomizes the high-tech strategy of design through its celebration of building technology, assembly, and methods of construction. Century Tower (Foster and Partners, Tokyo, 1991)

This tower is often criticized as generic and placeless, the high-rise office building suffers from programmatic banality – office space is homogeneous, repetitive and largely generic. Century Tower proves a rich exception to the norms of the speculative office building type. Within the Tower’s articulated shaft are house a mix of uses and amenities, including a museum, tea house, health club, restaurant, and office space. The expression of the building’s diverse parts becomes the central theme of the building.

Century Tower extends concepts first explored in the Hong Kong Shangai Bank. Its façade is articulated as a series of eccentrically braced frames that span across the site to allow for a column-free office space, but also respond to Tokyo’s stringent seismic engineered requirements. The tower is broken into two layered blocks joined by an open internal atrium. Each block consists of stacked double-height office floors bridging between structural frames. The atrium connects all the office spaces and creates a sense of community.

At the foot of the atrium a staircase leads to a museum for the client’s collection of oriental antiquities at basement level. A health club and a pool are housed under curved galls sky-light that slips in under the tower’s braced frames. Century Tower celebrates the skyscraper as an assembly of different parts, both structural and programmatic. The various building components are clearly visible from the outside, articulating the building as an architecture of inventory of coexisting programs. Debis Headquarters (Renzo Piano Building Workshop, Berlin, 1999)

The Debis Headquarters forms the centerpiece of the 1990′s redevelopment of Berlin’s Potzdamer Platz. Master-planned by Renzo Piano and Christoph Kohlbecker, the urban-renewal projects have transformed an area left desolate by the Cold War back into the vibrant cultural and commercial center that it was prior to the Second World War

Piano conceived of the Tower as a hybrid building with a horizontal slab, vertical tower, and open court-yard, carefully combining object and void. The mass of the building is broken up into a composition of discrete blocks, organized as bundles of parallel slabs rising to different heights and culminating 350 feet (106 meters) skyscraper on the southern end of the site. The atrium is a semi-public central void that invites people into the building and brings natural light into its center.

The facades are made up of layers of delicate screens and operable glass panels filtering out the sun while allowing for natural light and ventilation. The “opaque” facades are made up of prefabricated terracotta screens that are held in front of an operable insulated-glass curtain wall.

The “transparent” or “ventilating” façade consists of a layer adjustable glass louver that can be closed to trap an insulating layer of warmed air, or partially opened to remove warm air through convection. In addition to the energy-saving approach to the design of the facades, the juxtaposition of the terracotta and glass screens gives the building a visually rich texture.

With a building of innovative composition and careful detailing, the Debis Headquarters project anchors one and of a redevelopment project celebrated for being regenerative and reconciliatory, and for healing the wounds on the city and the psyche. New York Times Headquarters (Renzo Piano, Building Workshop, New York, 2000)The decision to build a new headquarters for The New York Times west of Times Square marks a decisive return by the company that gave Times Square its name. Times Square has been the site of large-scale urban renewal since the mid-1990′s, when new legislation and private funds were used to drive out the peep shows and strip club area, making way for family entertainment.

The selection of Renzo Piano as the architect for the 52 story, 748 feet (228 meters) The New York Times headquarters was the outcome of an international design competition. Piano’s design for the tower as a rectangular volume with a layered façade systems stands out for its deceptively simple massing and elegant exterior. The curtain wall is designed to use clear glass behind veil-like layers of thin ceramic cylinders captured in steel frames, and held two feet off the glass. Piano’s design celebrates the detail while maintaining a disciplined design vocabulary.

Behind the screens, the activities within will be visible through the façade. Glass-enclosed stairs located on the perimeter will animate the facades with the movement of people. On the ground floor, a large internal garden will open the building up to the public, drawing the city into the lobby and providing amenities such as an auditorium, restaurants and shops. Bank of China (J.M. Pei & Partners, Hong Kong, 1989)

The abstract sculptural form of the Bank of China stands out from the thick forest of skyscrapers that made up Hong Kong’s eclectic skyline.

The building’s sculptural form is derived from the correspondence between the tower’s volumetric expression and its structural system, a triangulated perimeter tube truss. The tower’s volume fills out the triangulated frame in a stepped bundle of prismatic volume that culminates in a 1,209 foot (369 meters) peak and twin masts. The legibility of the system of support is the source of its dramatic visual strength.

The frame systematically distributes the building’s loads and transfers them to four composite corner columns. A fifth column extending through the center of the tower transmits its loads from the top of the apex down the prow and transfers them out diagonally, leaving the interior of the base of the tower column-free.

The glass-and-metal tower rests on a three-story granite base, which house the banking hall. A multistory glass atrium connects the banking hall to a skylight at the first setback. The site for the tower is sloped and extremely tight, resulting in access from two different levels. The tower is integrated into a network of abstracted Chinese gardens, which include cascading pools of water and distinctly formed Chinese stones.

The originally intended X-bracing on the facades was perceived as an aggressive and negative gesture. Although bank officials ignored the warnings of local Feng Shui Masters, Pei chose to conceal the horizontal member, transforming the X into auspicious diamond shapes. The tower is still regarded with reservation by many locals, who claim that its sharp corners direct negative energy towards its neighbors.

Throughout our lives, it is unavoidable for us to have accidents and medical emergencies. These can range from simple falling a few flights from the stairs, or having an allergy attack to something much worse such as getting into a traffic accident or getting a heart attack. No matter what the cause is, we would always want to get help immediately.

According to medical studies, the survival rate of injured people decreases exponentially for every second that passes from time of injury to first aid and medical treatment. This just means that immediate medical action is needed for you to have better chances of surviving an accident or medical emergency. This is all good and well if this episode happens outside in a crowded street or at work where your office mates can immediately go to the rescue and call for help. However, what will happen to you if this happens while you are driving alone at night or you are at home with nobody to notice. Sometimes, even non-fatal accidents and emergencies become lethal simply because nobody was there to help you or call for help.

Personal Emergency Response System

With this in mind, it would be helpful if you have a Personal Emergency Response System or more commonly known as a Medical Alert or Medical Alarm. This is a tool that will summon immediate emergency medical personnel upon activation. In most cases, this is a simple gadget that is always kept with you and with one press of a button, you can immediately contact 911 or family members to let them know that something is wrong. Depending on the unit, some may only store one number while others may even go up to 5. The device will call the numbers you have stored in order of priority and will not stop until one picks up. When someone answers, it will automatically go to loud speaker mode enabling you to call for help even if you have collapsed on the ground.

The Evolution of the System

Though the systems used nowadays are high-tech, the origin of the PERS itself is quite old. It was developed in Germany back in the 1970’s by Wilhelm Hormann with the aim of developing new help functions for both walking and non-walking patients, the elderly, or those alone at home. The technical application of the system was a success with the help of AEG-Telefunken Backnang GmbH and was presented internationally in the early 1980’s. In 1982, Hormann’s system was distinguished with the Frankfurt Innovation Prize of the German Economy and was deemed as a success.

How It Can Help You

According to studies, those that have the Medical Alert System live six years longer in their houses as compared to those who don’t. The PERS is good not only for the elderly who are more prone to accidents and health emergencies but for people who are living alone or are alone most of the time. With this in hand, medical help will arrive almost instantaneously; thus exponentially increasing your chances for survival.
