Green Building (Page 29)
Acclaimed Traveling Green Building Exhibit
TESTING"Ten Shades of Green," a highly acclaimed exhibit of green buildings from the U.S. and Europe, is traveling around the country over the next year. Organized by the Architectural League of New York, its title reflects the various degrees of 'greenness' in architecture today as well as the 10 key issues the field addresses: low energy/high performance; renewable sources; recycling; embodied energy; long life, loose fit; total life cycle costing; embedded in place; access and urban context; health and happiness; and community and connection. The buildings – mostly from Europe – represent a variety of building types and architectural and engineering approaches. The buildings were chosen as examples of "complete works of architecture: buildings in which environmental responsibility is fully integrated with an enlightened vision of community life." The UK's Jubilee Campus, for example, brings together a wide range of green strategies. Built on a brownfield site, it combines mechanical and wind-driven ventilation. The building is embedded into the landscape such that it filters and cools the air approaching the buildings, improves insulation and prevents build-up of reflected heat. The exhibit demonstrates the myriad faces of green design and its compatibility with the highest levels of architectural excellence. It shows […]
New York Passes First Green Buildings Credit Bill
TESTINGIn May, Gov. George Pataki made history when he signed New York State's Green Building Tax Credit – the first in the nation – into law. It provides $25 million in credits over the next five years to encourage owners and tenants of commercial and residential buildings to incorporate environmental features into buildings. The credits are intended to offset some of the additional upfront costs associated with high performance buildings. Buildings that meet the program's minimum requirements will be 35 percent more energy efficient than required by state energy code; renovated buildings will be 25 percent more efficient. Qualifying buildings will meet standards on indoor air quality, waste disposal, energy and water use, and will be eligible for additional credits for incorporating renewable energy. For detailed information, contact Wayne Tusa, chair of Green Building Tax Credit task force of Environmental Business Association of NY State.
BRE Launches Home Rating System
TESTINGThe UK Building Research Establishment (BRE) has developed an environmental rating system for homes, dubbed EcoHomes. The voluntary certification ranges from pass to excellent based on an independent auditor's assessment. Auditors examine homes from seven perspectives: energy, transport, pollution, materials, water, ecology/land use, and health/well-being. The certification is available for both new construction and renovated houses and apartments. A companion reference guide, "Green Guide for Housing Specification," describes the environmental impacts of the various materials most commonly used in home building. http://www.bre.co.uk
Steelcase & Ford Hire McDonough
TESTINGThe new Steelcase wood furniture manufacturing plant breaking ground now in Gaines Township, Michigan, will be the first manufacturing building of its size certified by the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED program. William McDonough + Partners designed the building which is expected to reduce emissions by 70 percent over its existing facility, partly due to changing to a water-based finishing system. Steelcase is retiring the old facility's unused emissions credits, which are valued at about $5 million. As many of you know, McDonough is in the process of revitalizing Ford Motor Company's aging 1,212-acre Rouge Plant complex, which Bill Ford says, will soon become "a very visible testament to Ford's commitment to environmental leadership and social responsibility." His job is to transform this complex from a symbol of the Industrial Age – a sprawling, dirty facility – to a symbol of sustainable design. For more examples of McDonough + Partner's recent work: [sorry this link is no longer available] Read a Detroit News article about McDonough's re-design of the Rouge Plant complex. To learn more about LEED, read our current Feature article or visit the LEED website.
ISO 14001 Gains Ground in U.S.
TESTINGISO 14001 certification is taken much more seriously in Europe – but it is starting to take root in the U.S. The Ford and General Motors requirement that all suppliers become ISO 14001-certified could provide the missing catalyst for growth of ISO 14001 certification in the U.S. About 11,000 suppliers will be implementing environmental management systems (EMS) along with getting certified – a boon for EMS-related services as well as the environment. Other corporations will no doubt follow suit. In an article, "Automotive Industry Catalyzes ISO 14000 Growth in the U.S," author Anthony Buonicore notes these actions reflect the increased emphasis corporations are placing on environmental stewardship and public opinion, as well as the benefits of ISO 14001 in instilling "a discipline in the manufacturing operation which can be invaluable in uncovering savings." In the construction industry, Skanska USA recently completed ISO 14001 certification for all U.S. operations ($3 billion in annual revenues). The Swedish parent company, Skanska AB, pledged to have all its divisions certified by the end of 2000. This is a difficult industry to certify because many of the players, especially in residential home building, are subcontractors working out of pick-up trucks. Neil Deluca, CEO of Spectrum […]
Seattle Adopts LEED
TESTINGThe City of Seattle has committed to build all public buildings over 5000 square feet to meet or exceed the silver rating of the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) LEED Green Building Rating System. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Seattle is experiencing its biggest building boom since 1889 when fire swept through the city destroying many buildings. About a billion dollars worth of downtown public buildings are in the works. It plans to demolish and redesign a central two-block area which is slated to become the heart of the city. The city is building a new city hall, justice center, and central plaza, all of which will meet LEED's silver level. The $222 million civic campus will include both renovated and new building projects. Seattle formed a Green Team over a year ago to tie environmental concerns to city construction policy. Lucia Athens, the Sustainable Design & Construction specialist for Seattle Public Utilities, who chaired the group, says they chose LEED for a number of reasons. It not only defines what a green building is but it allows flexibility in selecting different green strategies as appropriate for various building projects. The Seattle Sustainable Building Strategic Plan: […]
UK Architects Get Free Green Design Assistance
TESTINGThe UK Department of Environment, Transport and Regions is funding a day of free energy efficiency and environmental design advice to architects through the Building Research Establishment's (BRE) Design Advice Service. BRE assigns one of its approved practitioners to review design plans and offer recommendations for improvement. Rather than being resistant to having another professional review their designs, architects are responding positively to the service and are offering it as a value-added extra to clients. Last year, over 300 projects of all sizes used the service. When longer consulting sessions are called for clients receive a 30 percent discount. Contact BRE Design Advice Service
Colorado Leads the Nation in Green Homes
TESTINGMore than $1 billion worth of "green" homes have been built in Colorado during the past two years, far outpacing any other state. About 3,500 green homes have been built at a median price of $230,000 since the kick-off of the "Built Green" campaign by Home Builders of Metropolitan Denver in 1997. Colorado is the first state to offer a statewide "Built Green" designation for its homes. The Green Builder Program of Colorado registers homes based on a 20 category checklist that includes an energy efficiency requirement, and a menu of options addressing a range of "green" items from which the builder must select a minimum number. Colorado is one of six pilot areas for a Fannie Mae program that allows buyers to borrow up to 15 percent of the cost of a home for energy efficiency improvements. Another Fannie Mae program for new construction gives buyers incentives to incorporate energy- and water-efficiency features. http://www.builtgreen.org
Lucas Builds Green in the Presidio
TESTINGGreen architects dream of a client with deep pockets, impeccable taste, imagination, an open mind and a healthy respect for the environment. Lucas Letterman Digital Arts, a company formed by George Lucas to develop new high tech headquarters in San Francisco's historic Presidio, "is one of the most fun clients we've ever worked with," says Bill Browning of Rocky Mountain Institute's Green Development Services. "They're committed and passionate about the environment and employees' quality of life, and extremely creative. They're cost conscious, of course, but they're a well-capitalized company, so if it makes sense they'll say let's do it." The 1800-acre Presidio, a former army base, is the first urban national park in the U.S. Six parcels are being commercially developed to cover the costs of purchasing the land. The Presidio has set sustainability as one of three major criteria by which all proposals to develop the parcels are judged. The Letterman Digital Center combines just about everything in the green development cookbook, from energy-efficient construction to low-impact stormwater management. And at nearly a million square feet, with one of the world's most famous corporate tenants, it promises to be an excellent showcase for the power of green thinking. One […]
Green Building Rating System Makes the Code in Virginia
TESTINGArlington County, Virginia is the first local government to reference the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED rating system in official policy. The county, which is a member of the USGBC, voted to allow developers preferential treatment in their requests for bonus density if their projects achieve a high LEED rating. The policy takes effect in April, when LEED 2.0 is slated for release. Source: Environmental Building News

Subject: NCC Weekly News: Beyond Tolerance

From Jim: Beyond Tolerance
I was raised in the American Midwest in a Protestant family. We never faced any problems sharing our faith and worshiping in the manner we chose. We were in the majority. Ecumenism had a growing influence -- Catholics were being accepted in our towns as Christians and we began having conversations with Orthodox Christians.
We were somewhat sensitive to our Jewish sisters and brothers, but in my youth I felt that much of this was due to the horror they had experienced in the Holocaust. There were few Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, living near us, as far as I knew.
We've come a long way since those days even though for the overwhelming majority of American Protestants, religious liberty is not a front-burner issue -- despite claims that Starbucks is anti-Christmas even though they are selling Advent calendars.
However, in countless places around the world people of various faiths are not free to practice their religion. It happens for numerous reasons including the intolerance of people of other faiths, or because of government repression.
Recently, the Washington National Cathedral hosted "Beyond Tolerance: A Call to Religious Freedom and Hopeful Action." This was preceded by a gathering of Muslims and evangelical Christians, an almost unheard of notion when I was younger.
At the Cathedral, we affirmed our desire for unity, pledged to uphold and defend freedom of conscience and the religion of all individuals and to reject and speak out against bigotry, discrimination, harassment, and violence based on religion or belief.
A few days later, I participated in a protest outside of the Myanmar Embassy due to the repression of Rohingya Muslims in that country. Had I been a speaker I would also have noted that Myanmar Christians face discrimination, too.
As long as a presidential candidate says a Muslim should not be president of the United States, Christians and Muslims kill and attack one another in Nigeria and the Central African Republic, and respect and tolerance for the religious choices of others is lacking, then we will continue to struggle for religious liberty.
The Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh puts it this way: "The situation of the world is like this. People completely identify with one side, one ideology....Reconciliation is to understand both sides, to go to one side and describe the suffering being endured by the other side, and then go to the other side and describe the suffering being endured by the first side. Doing only that will be a great help for peace."

North American conference convenes to "Reclaim Evangelism!"
Nearly 60 participants gathered to reflect on the theme "Reclaim Evangelism!" at the North American 2015 Conference on Evangelism, held 29 October - 2 November in Nashville, Tennessee (U.S.). The conference was organized by the World Council of Churches (WCC) and the National Council of Churches – USA (NCCUSA), in consultation with the Canadian Council of Churches (CC Canada), and it was hosted by the Discipleship Ministries of the United Methodist Church (UMC).
The ecumenical conversation was a moment to celebrate Christian hope in God's work on making disciples, said Kyriaki Avtzi, WCC programme executive on evangelism. "Planning and organizing this event with NCCUSA, CC Canada and the Discipleship Ministries of UMC was a uniquely enriching experience of mutual learning and collaboration," said Avtzi. "The commitment and enthusiasm with which participants engaged in group and plenary discussions on new effective ways of reclaiming evangelism in the context of North America is a promising and deeply encouraging sign toward a renewed understanding of evangelism that celebrates diversity, change and collaboration."
The conference was indeed groundbreaking, said Heather Heinzman Lear, UMC director of Evangelism in Discipleship Ministries. "It was a joy to witness denominational and theological differences melt away as participants engaged in dialogue and dreaming about how to collaborate in sharing the gospel in North America. I am excited to see what God can and will do through these new friends and colleagues in ministry," she said.

Refugee Welcome Weekend: November 13-15
As we face the largest number of displaced people since the end of World War II, there are many ways that people can help. As the United States works to resettle additional refugees, including many Syrian refugees, we are asking communities to take part in Welcome Weekend, host a #RefugeesWelcome dinner, volunteer with a local refugee resettlement agency, and help educate communities about the life-saving role of refugee resettlement. Especially as Congress must allocate funds to government agencies by December 11th, these actions are timely and vital to urging the United States to help displaced persons and refugee-hosting countries, resettle more refugees, and ensure that communities have the resources they need to help refugees integrate and thrive as they rebuild their lives.
60 million people are displaced globally, the highest numbers since World War II. This includes 4 million Syrian refugees and nearly 8 million individuals displaced within Syria. As we witness the desperation of people fleeing their homes to seek safety, the refusal of many countries to accept refugees, the unwelcoming attitudes and anti-Muslim sentiment of some, and the growing attention and public support for refugee resettlement we have a responsibility to act now to show that our communities welcome refugees.
Holodomor Memorial Dedication Ceremony
On Saturday, November 7, from 2;00-5:00pm, there will be an exhibit and dedication ceremony for the Holodomor Memorial in Washington, DC.
The Holodomor famine took place from 1932 to 1933, under the regime of the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. This man-made famine, artificially created by the regime to destroy those seeking independence from the Soviet Union, caused the death of around 7 to 10 million people.
The memorial, authorized by Congress in 2006, commemorates the millions of innocent victims of the famine engineered by Stalin's communist regime.
'Into the Mystic,' John Dorhauer's weekly podcast debuts on UCC.org
The United Church of Christ General Minister and President plans to connect with members of the wider church weekly, in a pretty accessible way. That's the impetus behind "Into the Mystic" – a podcast from the Rev. John C. Dorhauer that will be available every Monday on UCC.org.
"I want the art and practice of spiritual reflection to be modeled as a priority and not just a part time avocation," said Dorhauer. "I want to be seen as both General MINISTER and President. Most of what I do reminds people I am the latter. This will help them see the role as more dimensional."
An Opportunity for Pastors to Apply to the Lilly Endowment's Clergy Renewal Programs
The Lilly Endowment Clergy Renewal Programs at Christian Theological Seminary provide funds to congregations to support renewal leaves for their pastors. Congregations may apply for grants of to $50,000 to underwrite a renewal program for their pastor and for the pastor's family, with up to $15,000 of those funds available to the congregation to help cover costs for ministerial supply while the pastor is away. There is no cost to the congregations or the pastors to apply; the grants represent the Endowment's continued investment in renewing the health and vitality of American Christian congregations.
Rosa Robles Loreto goes home after 461 days in sanctuary
Stated Clerk calls for continued action for immigration reform
For 461 consecutive nights Rosa Robles Loreto, seeking sanctuary inside Southside Presbyterian Church, joined supporters in prayers for freedom, for safety, and to change America's broken immigration system.
On Tuesday they gathered once again, but this time for the final prayer vigil. The wife and mother of two young boys, who has become a faith-filled voice of the new sanctuary movement, walked free from Southside Church in Tucson, Arizona, Wednesday morning.
Rosa entered the doors of the church on August 7, 2014, when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement entered a final order of deportation against her. The baseball mom had lived peacefully in the U.S. since 1999. She was not ready to leave her family behind.
THE WHITE HOUSE FELLOWS PROGRAM
Over fifty years ago, President Lyndon B. Johnson established the President's Commission on White House Fellowships and over the course of nine presidential administrations the nonpartisan White House Fellows program has become the nation's premier fellowship for public service and leadership.

Chesapeake CEO leaves mixed legacy
By Loren Steffy on February 1, 2013 at 9:09 AM
Friday's column, available on houstonchronicle.com
It's still all about Aubrey.
Even with Aubrey McClendon's spontaneous "retirement" this week, Chesapeake Energy can't easily disentangle itself from its former chief executive's legacy.
McClendon may define the company's past, but he also laid the foundation for its future.
He leaves behind a conundrum of corporate governance, a past of runaway executive pay and perks, yet also a prime array of oil and gas properties that will likely form the basis of the company's turnaround.
"The portfolio of assets are the best set of assets of any company in the world," Chesapeake Chairman Archie Dunham told me in an interview. "We have the sweet spot. You have to give Aubrey and the board great credit for that."

Santiago Marraco Solana, né le  à Canfranc, est un homme politique espagnol membre du Parti socialiste ouvrier espagnol (PSOE).

Il est président de la Députation générale d'Aragon entre 1983 et 1987.

Biographie

Une carrière d'ingénieur
En 1962, il obtient un doctorat de génie forestier à l'École technique supérieure des ingénieures forestiers (ETSIM) de Madrid. Il intègre le corps supérieur des ingénieurs forestiers en 1966 et se voit alors affecté au district forestier de Huesca.

Il rejoint le personnel de l'Institut national de conservation de la nature (ICONA) lors de sa création en 1971.

Député au Congrès et ascension
En 1974, il participe à la fondation Parti socialiste d'Aragon (PSA), dont il est élu secrétaire général en 1978. Il est alors perçu comme un partisan de la fusion avec le PSOE, qui se produit dès le .

Pour les élections législatives du  mars 1979, il est investi tête de liste dans la province de Huesca. Avec son résultat de 27,6 %, il assure son élection au Congrès des députés. Au cours de ce premier mandat, il siège à la commission des Travaux publics et à la commission de l'Agriculture. En novembre, il devient le secrétaire général du Parti des socialistes d'Aragon-PSOE (PSOE-Aragon).

Il est réélu parlementaire lors des élections législatives anticipées du 28 octobre 1982, et ne conserve que son poste de membre de la commission parlementaire de l'Agriculture.

Président d'Aragon
En , il est investi chef de file électoral du PSOE-Aragon pour les élections autonomiques du 8 mai 1983, par 113 voix contre 2 en faveur de l'ancien député de Saragosse Ángel Cristóbal Montes. Le jour du scrutin, les socialistes totalisent 47,2 % des suffrages exprimés et 33 députés sur les 66 des Cortes.

Il doit cependant attendre une semaine pour être relevé de ses fonctions.

Conservateur de la nature
Santiago Marraco quitte la vie politique régionale le  suivant, quand il est nommé directeur de l'ICONA. Trois mois plus tard, il renonce à être de nouveau candidat au secrétariat général du Parti des socialistes d'Aragon-PSOE.

Walmart-owned Bonobos has a new line targeting a guy most retailers ignore
Dennis Green
Model Zachary Miko in Bonobos.
Bonobos has launched an extended-sizing line for guys.
The new collection focuses on fit with special consideration for larger guys, which most large-sized garments don't.
Extended-size clothing for men is an area of growth, as the category is outpacing men's clothing in general in terms of sales, according to Bonobos' co-president and chief merchandising officer, Brad Andrews.
Bonobos is becoming more inclusive.
The Walmart-owned men's clothing retailer has developed and launched larger, extended sizes for its most popular products. But Bonobos didn't just add extra fabric to its classic fits.
While most larger sizes from other brands are "optimized for body coverage," Bonobos instead focused on fit, which Brad Andrews, the company's co-president and chief merchandising officer, said is its calling card.
Instead of simply adding additional fabric to shirts, pants, and suits, Bonobos said it did its research to figure out the pain points for larger men and their clothing. With that in mind, it added details like an extra seam in shirt sleeves, a larger collar to allow shirts to be buttoned up all the way, and hidden stretch in pants.
Bonobos is offering most of its popular products in the new sizes, like its stretch chinos, button-down shirts, and Jetsetter suits.
Bonobos is adding more inclusive sizes.
Andrews said that the brand "always knew there was an opportunity in extended sizes and larger sizes."
He said Bonobos sees an opportunity as sales growth for extended-size men's clothing outpaces men's clothing as a whole.
The first version is targeted at the guy who is proportionally bigger. Next, Andrews said, Bonobos is looking to iterate and add fits for guys who are more triangle-shaped and upside-down-triangle-shaped.
The new inclusive sizing dovetails with Bonobos' recent marketing messaging, which addresses inclusivity in what it means to be a man.
"We don't believe there's a one-size-fits-all message for men," Andrews said.
"We want to celebrate that. We want to be a brand that doesn't stick to one definition of masculinity."

Eutelsat engaged by European Global Navigation Satellite Systems Agency (GSA) to provide payload and services for next-generation EGNOS
Press release • Mar 06, 2017 09:56 CET
Photo credit : ©GSA, ©European GNSS Agency
EGNOS GEO-3 to fly on EUTELSAT 5 West B, further optimising a new satellite programme
Paris, Washington D.C., 6 March 2017 – The European Global Navigation Satellite Systems Agency (GSA) has selected Eutelsat Communications (NYSE Euronext Paris: ETL) for the development, integration and operation of the next-generation EGNOS payload on a future Eutelsat satellite.
Eutelsat and GSA have concluded a long-term contract valued at €102 million covering the preparation and service provision phases for the EGNOS GEO-3 payload that will be hosted on the EUTELSAT 5 West B satellite that is due for launch end of 2018. The new payload marks a replenishment of current EGNOS capacity and is scheduled to start service in 2019 for a duration of 15 years.
With the addition of the EGNOS payload, Eutelsat is further optimising the EUTELSAT 5 West B satellite that was commissioned in October 2016 on a design-to-cost basis from Airbus Defence and Space and Orbital ATK. Airbus Defence and Space is building the satellite's commercial Ku-band payload and the EGNOS payload while the platform is being manufactured by Orbital ATK.
More on EGNOS
EGNOS is a European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service that acts as an augmentation service to Global Positioning Systems to improve the accuracy and reliability of positioning information. EGNOS also provides a crucial integrity message regarding the continuity and availability of a signal which is essential in aviation where GNSS alone does not satisfy strict operational requirements set by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) for use in critical flight stages such as final approaches. With the addition of EGNOS, which has been certified for civil aviation since 2011, systems such as GPS and Galileo can satisfy ICAO standards. The GSA has been in charge of EGNOS exploitation since 2014.
How will it work?
The EGNOS GEO-3 payload on EUTELSAT 5 West B will comprise two L-band transponders that will act as an augmentation, or overlay to GNSS messages. Data from GNSS measurements received by an interconnected ground network of positioning stations across Europe will be transferred to a central computing centre where differential corrections and integrity messages will be calculated and then broadcast by EUTELSAT 5 West B to users. The new payload will be the first step towards the deployment of the EGNOS next generation, EGNOS V3. This new generation of EGNOS will augment both Galileo and GPS and is planned to be qualified by 2022. EGNOS V3 will provide a higher level of performance and robustness than the current EGNOS legacy services, as required by the growing use and reliance on such services.

Four-star prospect Joshua Braun liked what he saw from new FSU OL coach Randy Clements.
Having already been to see Florida State several times, there was no secret about why Rivals250 offensive lineman Joshua Braun wanted to stop by and see the Seminoles this weekend.
He wanted to get an up-close look at new offensive line coach Randy Clements and get a feel for Clements' style of teaching.
And from the sounds of it, the four-star prospect came away impressed.
"It went really well," Braun said. "I enjoyed the visit a lot. The first impression was very good. I enjoyed his coaching style and how direct he is with everything. Liked his personality, not laid back, but also not overly aggressive. He seemed to give off a mentorship role, and I appreciated that in regards to his personality."
Clements has produced very successful offensive lines at Baylor and Houston, and really everywhere he has been. And Braun said he could see why as he watched Friday's practice.
"I saw a lot of development," he said. "They are installing some new things, and it jumps out at you. New coaching changes can be rough on everyone. However, to see how the players are already adapting was very impressive."
While this was Braun's first opportunity to see Clements coach in person, this wasn't the beginning of their relationship. They have talked on the phone many times.
"He's very straightforward," Braun said. "He never leads me on, and the truth, it's beneficial to me. I like things directly and want to be coached that way. Coach Clements does that, and now I just want to build on that relationship."


The engineers at Pupa Clic have built an algorithm for mobile based Application products, which computes and evaluates on certain index values of the user actions. It then converts the learned user experiences to have a unique UI-UX layer based on the user index.
A classic implementation would be in cab – app based services, where if a user always book's a cab in the mornings to work, our algorithm will understand that actionable index and from the next day automate the preferable service and route to the user, thereby onboarding the customer in a fraction of the time.
Created in the form of a library, the algorithm can fit into any mobile based approach for news feed, user behaviour activities and more.
We are definitely entering into multiple e commerce based applications in the market and having faster interactions will yield to less engagement and high closure.

Apple shares have hit an all-time high on news that legendary investor Warren Buffett now has a roughly 5% stake in the tech giant.
Shares in Apple, already the world's most valuable company, rose by almost 4% on Friday to more than $183.7 each.
Mr Buffett said his Berkshire Hathaway group bought about 75 million more shares of the iPhone maker in the first three months of the year.
His investment moves are closely watched across the world.
Mr Buffett's company has been buying up shares in Apple since 2016 . Berkshire Hathaway claimed a nearly 3.3% stake, or more than 166 million shares, at the end of last year.
At the time, the holding, one of Berkshire's biggest stock market gambits, was worth more than $28bn.
Now, after the additional share purchases and an 8% rise in price since the start of the year, the firm's stake is worth more than $44bn.
Apple's market value now stands at almost $932bn.
Some analysts have worried the technology giant's best days are behind it, as competition in the smart phone market increases and sales growth slows.
But the company has been building up other lines of business, including the services unit that includes the App Store, Apple Music and Apple Pay.
Apple this week reported profit of $13.8bn in the first three months of the year, rising 25% from the same period in 2017.
The company also has a generous share buyback and dividend programme that is expanding.
Apple, citing new US tax cuts, this week said it would buy back $100bn worth of shares and increase its dividend.
The moves, which return money to its shareholders, had been widely anticipated in the aftermath of the new tax law, which lowered the corporate tax rate and reduced the incentives for firms to hoard cash overseas.
Berkshire Hathaway will host its annual meeting for shareholders in Omaha, Nebraska this weekend.

As Salt Lake City mayor, Sen. Luz Escamilla would be a "champion for all," her supporters said Tuesday at the candidate's official campaign launch.
From the steps of Salt Lake City Hall, they highlighted her track record during 11 years of service as a state senator, her ability to work across the aisle to achieve data-driven results and her work with overlooked and underserved communities. These, they said, are the primary characteristics that set her apart in the crowded 2019 race.
She served as an appointee to former Gov. Jon Huntsman's State Office of Ethnic Affairs, before serving in the Utah Legislature and as a vice president of Zion's Bank. During her time on Capitol Hill, she has been an advocate for anti-poverty efforts, health care and diverse communities.
Escamilla said the capital city has made several strides since she first arrived, and she gave a special shoutout to Mayor Jackie Biskupski, who announced last week that she was withdrawing from the race. But the city also "faces some major growing pains" that the next mayor will need to address, Escamilla said.
The city has an affordable housing crisis — with recent research estimating Utah has a housing gap of at least 43,500 dwellings and that as many as 100,000 households are putting 50 percent or more of their income toward housing costs. It has problems with homelessness and poor air quality, which Escamilla told The Salt Lake Tribune would be among her top priorities as mayor.
Escamilla noted that she and her youngest daughter have asthma and that she has fought in the state Legislature and will continue to fight to improve the quality of water and air.
Escamilla, the Senate Democratic whip, said one of her efforts in that area this year was her sponsorship of a bill that will establish baseline environmental conditions in the inland port area planned for Salt Lake City's westernmost side to monitor any changes as a result of the project.
The inland port is arguably one of the most important policy considerations facing the next mayor. After Biskupski filed suit against the state's creation of the inland port development earlier this month, Escamilla said she thinks that litigation over land-use and tax authority will help the city navigate the complex issue.
Escamilla has also said she would represent a number of overlooked communities, including the Latino population and the city's west side. If elected, she would likely be the first ethnic minority mayor of Salt Lake City and would be only the third woman to hold the position.
"She is highly well respected and she knows how to get things done without being abrasive but also being persistent," he said.
Escamilla is in the middle of her four-year Senate term, so she can retain her seat while running for mayor and would be able to remain in state office if she lost the city race. She previously challenged Republican Rep. Chris Stewart in a race for the 2nd Congressional District in 2014, winning the Democratic nomination but losing in the general election.
In the crowded mayoral race, she will face former state Sen. Jim Dabakis; Salt Lake City Councilwoman Erin Mendenhall; David Garbett, the former executive director of the Pioneer Park Coalition; former Downtown Community Council Chairman Christian Harrison; Latino businessman David Ibarra; and former Salt Lake City Councilman Stan Penfold. Richard Goldberger, a freelance journalist, and Aaron Johnson, a military veteran and novice politician, have formed personal campaign committees to run.

Jimmy Butler Urges Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons to Be More Aggressive for Sixers Vs. Raptors
By Paul Hudrick	• Published May 6, 2019 • Updated on May 31, 2019 at 8:23 pm
Kawhi Leonard's back has to be killing him with the way he's carrying the Raptors.
Through four games in the second-round series with the Sixers, Leonard has averaged 38 points while shooting 62 percent from the field. The only player to average at least 35 points and shoot over 60 percent in a playoff series is some guy named Michael Jordan.

Joel Embiid's Huge Game Helps Sixers Top Celtics
Unfortunately for the Sixers, a similar theme is arising on their end. After a rough Game 1, Jimmy Butler has been an absolute monster. But he needs help if the Sixers are going to take the series over Leonard and Toronto.
Butler's brilliant 29-point performance in Sunday's Game 4 loss was almost enough. He was his typical fourth quarter Jimmy Buckets, netting 10 of his points in the final stanza.
There's a physicality that he plays with, he's just a runaway train at times," Brett Brown said. "Him coming up with some rebounds and loose balls, you see his just jaw-dropping athleticism. Then you just see his toughness emerge. We talk a lot about trying to play to mirror the spirit of the city - this is Philadelphia - and there is a toughness that he has that I think reflects the spirit of the city. I think tonight, once again, you saw him do everything that he could to will us a win.
The shame of it is that the Sixers wasted Butler's brilliance.
Joel Embiid, who is dealing with yet another illness, went just 2 of 7. Outside of Game 3, Embiid is shooting just 9 of 32 in the series. Embiid averaged 27.5 points in the regular season. His taking only seven shots, sick or not, is simply not enough.
Then there's Ben Simmons. The 22-year-old is exerting an awful lot of energy chasing around Leonard for 40 minutes a night, but he's barely averaging double digits for the series. He's still a young player in just his second postseason, but there are no excuses. It looked like Simmons was passing up opportunities Sunday, especially when Nick Nurse switched things up and put Leonard on Butler. At that point, Simmons needs to win his matchup.
Not only has Butler led the Sixers offensively, but he's definitely taken on a role as a leader on the team. After the game, he wanted to make sure his two young All-Star teammates realize how important they are.
I want Ben to be as aggressive just like I tell Jo to be aggressive. We're not going to win without you guys. You have to be ready to attack at any point in time. Damn sure in transition - if he has the ball in transition. Ben, don't pass the ball in transition. Attack every single time. That's how we're going to win this [series].
Butler has developed a strong relationship with Embiid and Simmons. This wasn't him calling out younger players or "aggressively challenging" anyone. This is a leader emerging.
"I have seen him grow from a leadership standpoint in noticeable ways," Brown said. "It's reflective with his performance on a court, it's reflective of what goes on in the locker room, it's reflective of you see him on a bench, not playing. You can point to multiple examples to say that is a leader. He's been able to back that up with some strong court performances."
After the Sixers steamrolled the Raptors in Game 3, it seemed like they had a stranglehold on the series. That lasted about two days. Now they got back to Toronto at 2-2.
Embiid mentioned that the team felt overconfident last season heading into its series against Boston. Perhaps those same thoughts crept in this year.
Butler was glad they got knocked down a peg Sunday.
"We're confident. But I don't think we can get too confident, settle, get comfortable," Butler said. "We know how good a team we are and we know how we're supposed to perform. … I like it. We got humbled tonight. I'm proud of it. Hopefully we go and do what we're supposed to do."

Q: Protractor locator ng-bind-html I had this :
{{ $ctrl.title }}

And I was testing it with this:
element(by.binding('$ctrl.title'))

And it was working.
After that I needed the title not to be a plain text but a html instead because I wanted to add some h1, h2 tags also in that text so I've updated my html like this:

buildHtmlContent() {
    return this.$sce.trustAsHtml(this.title);
}

But the testing fails, I need to replace the element locator but I don't know with what. Any idea ?

A: You can use css selector:
by.css('div[ng-bind-html="$ctrl.buildHtmlContent()"]')

Or you can add additional attribute so test depends less on implementation:

by.css('div[e2e-title]')

A: It was simpler than I though, I just had to replace this:
element(by.binding('$ctrl.title'))

with this:
element(by.binding('$ctrl.buildHtmlContent()'))

Q: How to get time in format: 2014-12-19 22:48:44 in Ruby on Rails 4 I am using Time.zone.now to spit out a timestamp in Ruby on Rails 4.  However, this is spitting out the time in the format:
2014-12-19 22:48:44 UTC

When I just want:
2014-12-19 22:48:44

Is there anyway to do this in Ruby on Rails 4?  Thank you.

A: Yes, Ruby has a method called #strftime which accepts a format mask and will return a string in the requested format. Ruby Docs
You would want:
'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'

However, I recommend using the Rails i18n functionality. You should read the docs to get the whole story. In a nutshell, if your locale was called en then you could add a file at config/locales/localization.en.yml and put the following content in it:
# config/locales/localization.en.yml
en:
  time:
    formats:
      default: ! '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'

Then, wherever you output a timestamp you could write the following ERB (note l it is a method name):
<%= l some_timestamp %>

And the output will be in that default format. If you don't want that format to be the default then give it another name in the YAML file:
# config/locales/localization.en.yml
en:
  time:
    formats:
      no_tz: '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'

And then the ERB would become:
<%= l some_timestamp, format: :no_tz %>

Since most applications output more than one timestamp or date, this will keep all your formats in one place.

A: Take a look at strftime.
I am 100% sure you'll find what you are looking for.
EDIT
According to info appeared in comments, I recommend to change Time.zone.now to DateTime.now, since the aim is to write to DB column of a datetime type

1. No more water dumping
After the city found out a Downtown apartment complex was sending millions of gallons of water to the East Side water treatment plant for a heating/cooling system, it decided to ban future developers from doing the same.
The ban doesn't affect any person/company that currently has what's known as an open loop geothermal system. It only affects future development. City attorney Marco DeLucio said there are only two known systems in the city. One of which, The Kunkel Group, made the news earlier this month for receiving a $784,828 sewer bill for sending 12 million gallons of water a month to the treatment plant, about 3 percent of the East Side treatment facility's capacity.
The ordinance won't change developer's six-figure sewer bill.
2. A new roof for the blind
The Evansville Association of the Blind has a leaky roof at its location at 500 N. Second Ave., so the city's Department of Metropolitan Development wants to use federal funds to repair it for the nonprofit.
City Councilman Dan McGinn said the organization has 200 buckets collecting rainwater in the building.
Council approved moving $115,000 of federal funds toward the project.
3. City Council gets more control over housing fund
The Affordable Housing Trust Fund is starting to build up, with $100,000 coming to it in 2018 plus possibly another $500,000 from the opening of the new Tropicana casino.
The money is supposed to go toward housing and home repairs for people and families at or below 80 percent of median household income in the county.
The majority of a committee that vets and approves awards from the trust fund is appointed by Mayor Lloyd Winnecke. Now, City Council gets final say over major awards granted to groups like community development corporations or nonprofits.
4. A man returns without a party
Monday was City Councilman Dan McGinn's first meeting since he left the Vanderburgh County Republican Party in a sharply-pointed letter to the party's chairman last weekend. McGinn, who represents the city's First Ward on the East Side, is now an independent. McGinn is also the council's finance chairman.
5. $300,000 lawsuit settlement
I know, the headline states "4 things you missed at City Council" and now there's a fifth item on the list, but you might not have seen the other story about Monday's City Council meeting online now.
City Council approved a $300,000 payment to settle a lawsuit between the city and the police and fire unions. The unions sued the city over added costs because of a new city employee health insurance plan in 2016.
Here's what report on Evansville's low cost of living didn't tell us
Overdose deaths in county this year already higher than last year
