Bangalore: Nothing brings more serenity to everyday life, be it at work or home, than a good internet speed. Whether attending an online video conference at your office, watching videos on YouTube or uploading pictures on a social networking site, we always prefer a glitch less and unhindered network connectivity.

While many countries, including India i.e. ranked 148, suffer from slow or unavailable internet connection and numerous blocked websites, certain countries across the world cherish the flair of ultra speed network connectivity. With millions of web connections and multiple network service plans, these countries have the fastest internet connection in the world according to a report generated by Akamai.

These are the nine countries that provide the fastest internet connection in the world.

9. Romania

Average Internet Speed: 6.4 Mbps

Deviation since 2011: 3.4% slower

The country has more than 8 Million internet connections out of which 4 Million are broad-bands. There were more than 300,000 registered domains in the country by the end of 2008.

8: I do not understand I remember reading an article in Malaysia which provides 64MBPS speed internet connection. I also do not see US in this list which is strange!!!!
Posted by:Rajju - 03 May, 2012
For example, my company offers speeds to residential subscribers of up to 1gbps here in India, and the average speed Akamai delivers traffic to my customers is somewhere in the upper 20mbps range, but since the vast majority of people in India only have 512k to 1mbps (if they're lucky) the average result for India is hovering around the 1mbps mark.

In short: actual results bear no resemblance to what may be available or what is advertised.
Mathew Replied to: Rajju - 03 May, 2012
Firstly, Internet connections in the US are awful by comparison with most of Europe, and is well down the list at about #26 in terms of world-wide average speed.

Secondly, this article is about the fastest Internet connections according to Akamai (the content distribution network which helps deliver the content for most large websites) and is based on the actual speed results they see (averaged across all users), and NOT what is advertised by the ISPs.

11: nice post by showing the 9 Countries With Fastest Internet Connection.thanks sharing this post
Posted by:OnlineTraining - 03 May, 2012
12: Please update data base as dubai is having 16 mbps network.
Posted by:rizvi - 02 May, 2012
Many countries have fast networks, but this is about the *average* speed across all connections. Dubai's average speed is nowhere near 16mbit/s.
Mathew Replied to: rizvi - 03 May, 2012
14: Average internet speed in India in extremely low and so it has no chance to succeed in securing the positing in top 25 list either. But the author does not seem to have done enough research. Internet speed is pretty high in USA, Canada and UK. Many companies in USA offer more than 50 MBPS speed and people can get very high speed over wireless connection also.
Posted by:Rubi - 02 May, 2012
The article talks about average speed, not how fast the service is available to customers, and there is a big difference between the two. In the US, the question is not about availability, it's about affordability: faster the service, more it costs. Based on your budget, you make the decision.
andrew Replied to: Rubi - 03 May, 2012
As per my comment to Rizvi, while these speeds are available in the USA, it is not the average.
Mathew Replied to: Rubi - 03 May, 2012
17: see difference between No 1 and No 2
Posted by:Andy - 02 May, 2012
18: All these countries are with very less population and their economy is also very balanced and upto date they did not want anything like switzerland and latvia southkoriea
Posted by:Vinod Nainwal - 02 May, 2012
Population != population density.

India *can* have fast Internet (my own company is proving that) but, you gotta want it, you gotta be on a properly built network (which many aren't here in India) and by doing things properly unfortunately that increases the cost a bit, so you gotta pay more than Rs500 a month for a connection - which is where the idea trips up.

It probably doesn't help that most of the ISPs here are run by guys in their late 60's and who are disconnected by the generational gap between themselves and their users, so these old guys think 512k is enough because all they care about is checking email.

It probably helps even less that the government is pushing 3G & 4G as the "fix-all" to all India's broadband problems. It's just not: wireless Internet should only be used as a backup/secondary connection unless it's literally impossible to provide something wired.

It's also no longer true that there's a bandwidth scarcity: 5 years ago, yes, maybe, but now less than 10% of India's international bandwidth capacity is used right now, so there's plenty of room for growth, and new cables are touching Indian shores every 18 months or so.

Nimble storage investor overview presentation

  1. 1. Investor Overview Suresh Vasudevan, Chief Executive Officer Anup Singh, Chief Financial Officer May 26, 2015
  2. 2. Safe Harbor 2 This presentation and the accompanying oral presentation contain “forward-looking” statements that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. We intend for such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this presentation, including information concerning our financial outlook, business plans and objectives, potential growth opportunities, competitive position, industry environment and potential market opportunities. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors including, but not limited to, those related to our future financial performance, market acceptance of our solutions, our ability to increase sales of our solutions, including to attract and retain customers and to selling additional solutions to our existing customers, our ability to develop new solutions and bring them to market in a timely manner, pricing pressure (as a result of competition or otherwise), our ability to maintain, protect and enhance our brand and intellectual property, global economic conditions and our ability to continue to expand our business and manage our growth. Moreover, we operate in very competitive and rapidly changing environments, and new risks may emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. Further information on these and other factors that could affect our financial results are included in our filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied by our forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although our management believes that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances described in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, neither we, nor any other person, assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this presentation to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law. In addition to GAAP financial information, this presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP measures have limitations and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for our GAAP financial information. There are limitations to the use of non-GAAP measures. For example, bookings and free cash flow are not substitutes for revenues or cash provided by operations. In addition, non-GAAP operating expenses exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense, which is a recurring expense for us. See the Appendix for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP equivalent.

“I don’t want my patients to feel like ‘just a number.’ I want them to feel heard, well informed and considered.”
— Dr. Dolores C. Mora

Happy Mouths, Happy Patients

"I had braces when I was younger and needed them a second time in my adult life. After visiting with Dr. Mora, She and her team created a game plan to straighten my teeth in less than 6 months. It was a seamless process, quick and painless. Dr. Mora and her team are amazing!"
-Matthew H. age 27
"Everyone was very nice and inviting. We were treated like family and I love all of the staff."
-Taylor M. age 17
"Dr. Mora is awesome! She is a no nonsense, straight shootin', Doctor. The staff are super friendly and they work well together as a team... No, wait, a FAMILY. I will never go to another Dentist!"
-Schoen F. age 47
"Came into the office with a big issue and pain with one of my teeth. Dr. Mora &       Team took care of me immediately and did a root canal to save my tooth. I had no discomfort during my procedure and got my crown the same day! That was amazing. I went home happy and with a beautiful smile; That's what I call excellent service! They are the best!"
-Laura E. age 55
"My daughter had an incident late one night and almost knocked her front teeth out. We went to the emergency room, but they were not going to get to her for a while. We then called Dr. Mora’s office. She and another employee met us up at their office at 11:00 on a Saturday night to take care of my daughter. They did X-rays to make sure that the roots were not damaged. They put braces on that night and by Monday her teeth were back perfectly straight. Now, almost a year later her teeth are as beautiful as they were before. Without the Dr. and her team my daughter would have probably lost her front two teeth. The team was amazing then and on all of the follow ups. Thank you Dr. Mora and team."
-Brad W. age 41

"Dr. Mora and her dental team are amazing, wonderful human beings. She                  removed a wisdom tooth in 6 seconds. I had no pain, and was able to drive home             with no impairment. The site healed and now I have a wonderful and kind                     dentist I can always turn to for outstanding care. Thank you Dr. Mora and                   team for a wonderful experience in a really scary time."

      -Karma L. age 70

"I absolutely LOVE Smiles of Katy! Dr. Mora is beautiful inside and out. Her perfect ability and awesome staff make 'going to the dentist' a wonderful experience. The entire team makes each patient feel at ease and happy they chose Smiles of Katy as their Dental office of choice.

-Ronda H. age 58

Chiefs staff revolt over Xmas bonuses

An annual increase and Christmas bonus rebellion at Kaizer Chiefs, which allegedly resulted in boss lady Jessica Motaung angrily wishing her father Kaizer Motaung could release her from her job, has erupted at the club's headquarters in Naturena.

The mutiny allegedly reached a fervent pitch last week when Jessica's sister Kemiso wrote a stinging e-mail to staff members telling them to hit the road if they were not happy with their jobs.

Her alleged rant resulted in staff morale reaching its lowest ebb.

It also led to some staff members contemplating to boycott the Christmas party at PH Network Cafe in Mondeor, south of Joburg, on Wednesday.

Attempts to solicit comment from the Motaungs drew a blank as they ignored our phone calls. Club spokesman Vina Maphosa asked for written questions on Wednesday. However, he failed to respond at the time of going to press.

Three independent sources, who didn't want to be named for fear of reprisal, confirmed that the staff at Naturena were unhappy for not receiving their salary increases.

They were supposed to have received them in July this year.

"They were supposed to have given them salary increases this year but they got nothing and Jessica, who is their boss, has said nothing about this matter," said the source.

"The staff is so afraid of her that no one is willing to openly protest against this."

The mole said the staff were also demoralised by Jessica's decision to force them to be members of a medical aid scheme which is one of their sponsors.

"When they told her that the medical aid was too expensive, she told them they have no option," said the tipster.

The deep throat said staff morale was also affected by Jessica's apparent decision not to give them bonuses.

"When they were employed they were told that the 13th cheque or December bonus is one of their benefits.

"In the past years they communicated to them in November how much they would get for their bonuses, but this year Jessica is not saying anything about it.

"They enquired from the finance staff who told them there would be no bonus this year," said the source.

The source said this angered employees, who questioned why the club didn't cancel the Christmas party and use its budget towards their bonuses.

Another source said the staff were also angered by Jessica embarking on a witch-hunt to sniff out employees who were considered to have leaked stories to the media.

"She also said she wished her father could release her and allow her to go work overseas.

"This was preceded by her sister Kemiso's e-mail which was sent to certain managers, whom she suspects were behind the leaks, and told them they were welcome to leave the club if they so wish," said the source.

Another source, who is a former employee at the club, said he heard from some of his former colleagues that they did not get their annual salary increases and that they might also not get paid their Christmas bonuses.

"The staff is demoralised. I feel for some of the the club's longest-serving employees.

"They have been loyal and don't deserve this treatment after working for the club with dedication and loyalty for so long," added the source.

Green Initiatives; Cleaning Maintenance

Sources and information are contributed by the November 2013 Florida Community Association Journal edition, written by Pat Naldrett-Bilodeau, CFCAM, CMCA, AMS, PCAM

Are you interested in implementing green practices into your building/property?

In this article, Pat Naldrett-Bilodeau, discusses some green initiatives and the technology associated with “being green.”

“We all know the primary focus of cleaning should be on health and hygiene, but are we aware this focus should also be on technology?” Pat Naldrett-Bilodeau raises the question.

Technology is the systematic knowledge of a particular art, in this case, the art of clean. Not just clean smells that come from chemicals containing cleaning agents and toxins with high VOC content or fragrances, but clean, really clean!

Environmental Benefits of a Green Cleaning Program | SparkleTeamWhat I found out is the goal of “green clean technology” is to provide true alternatives for increased efficiency. Examples of this would be using mops with built-in chemical tanks or charger buckets. Ever see someone using an old fashioned mop that they are dipping into a bucket of dirty water?

Clean technology starts by using cleaning materials with microfiber cloths, mops, and wands that provide superior dirt and bacteria removal agents and much more.

Now we are starting to understand “green cleaning technology.”

Did you know that HEPA filter vacuums provide four levels of filtration? The simple use of HEPA, (high-efficiency particulate air), that satisfies certain standards of efficiency set by the United States Department of Energy, remove 99.97% of particles that have a size of 0.3 micrometers.

Let’s look at some implications of green/sustainable cleaning practices for:

  • Health- With green cleaning practices, improved indoor air quality is achieved by reducing occupant illness and allergies, allowing for fewer sick days and more productivity.
  • Operational Practices- With green technology, it allows for energy savings by water conservation and reduced maintenance costs in reduced chemical purchases.
  • Carpets- Green technology is a life extension program for our carpets. By proper maintenance plans and use of bio-enzymatic spotters and extraction methods with hydrogen-peroxide based carpet cleaner, replacement time is delayed.
  • Environmental Impact- Green technology reduces waste by recycling, becoming good stewards for the planet.
  • Aesthetics- Green technology gives a cleaner appearance of protected asset values.

Sustainability Plan

Creating a sustainability plan is important to the community’s overall environmental stability. “Sustainability” means protecting and managing our resources to meet current needs without sacrificing the needs of future generations and natural systems. The first step for a community in creating a sustainability plan is to review the current operations and determine where conservation efforts are necessary. The second step is to create and publish the community’s sustainability goals. Typical goals would include reducing water use, reducing waste, reducing energy use, and increasing community awareness. Finally, a list of green practices that will help to reach the stated objectives should be published. This plan should be reviewed and updated annually.

David Moyes wary of Everton "animosity"

Manchester United boss David Moyes reveals that he will not return to Everton on scouting missions due to the "animosity" he receives from fans.

Manchester United boss David Moyes has revealed that he will not return to Everton on scouting missions due to the "animosity" he receives from fans.

The Scot, who spent 11 years at the club, took former Toffees favourite Marouane Fellaini with him to United last summer, while a move for Leighton Baines has also been heavily touted.

Moyes takes the Red Devils to Goodison Park on Sunday expecting a hostile reception from the home supporters after being booed for the return fixture at Old Trafford in December.

"I went to see Everton [play] last Saturday at Sunderland, but I've not been back to Goodison this season," he told reporters.

"It's nearly a year since I left. I've just felt that it wasn't the right time to go back at this moment in time. Time is a big healer.

"I think there was animosity at the way we would have liked to have bought a couple of the players. But some Manchester United players go to Everton, so there is reverse."

Kickoff tomorrow is scheduled for 4.10pm.

Diego Forlan: 'Luis Suarez desperate to play against England'

Uruguay forward Diego Forlan admits that teammate Luis Suarez is doing his utmost to play in his side's must-win World Cup clash against England on Thursday.

Uruguay forward Diego Forlan has revealed that teammate Luis Suarez is "desperate" to face England in his side's must-win World Cup clash.

The 27-year-old missed Oscar Tabarez's side's opening-game defeat to Costa Rica as he continues to recover from knee surgery, but he could be in line to make his return against the Three Lions on Thursday.

Forlan told reporters: "Every player is desperate to play every game and he's the same.

"It's really important he plays against England. Hopefully he can train well and he can be ready for the game."

Suarez scored 31 goals for Liverpool last season in the Premier League.

Abigail Ratchford denies she and Johnny Manziel are an ‘item’

Abigail Ratchford has denied early reports that she and football free agent Johnny Manziel are an “item” and insisted that they are just “friends.”

TMZ caught up with Ratchford and asked her about her supposed “relationship” with Manziel which she quickly answered that they are not a couple and described the beleaguered quarterback as a “nice guy.”

Reports of the two being spotted getting off a bar in Los Angeles at around 2 a.m. quickly spread like wildfire. Ratchford gained media attention with her seductive social media posts and being spotted with Manziel really spiked attention on her.

“He’s a nice guy, really funny we’re just friends, though,” Ratchford said.

Manziel was reported to have landed in Miami on board a private jet together with friends. Onlookers were hoping to see Ratchford too but the social media model, who dreams of becoming a real model, posted on her twitter account that she was at home watching movies.

Manziel was cut off by the Cleveland Browns due to his off the field activities that includes clubbing and with his ongoing court hearing on an alleged assault charge that involved his ex-girlfriend Colleen Crowley.

Since being a free agent, Manziel has been reported being courted by the Denver Broncos, New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys but none of the teams have yet made a move as they unless Manziel gets professional help as well.

Manziel as reported by nypost is hiring a new agent, Drew Rosenhaus, after Erik Burkhardt publicly announced that he would no longer represent him. The 49-year old agent who also owns Rosehaus Sports, has been representing NFL players for over 25 years and has negotiated over $2 billion of contracts.

Notable players Rosenhaus has represented or represents include Chad Johnson, Frank Gore, Rex Grossman, Rob Gronkowski, LeSean McCoy, Jimmy Smith, Plaxico Burress, Pete Stoyanovich, and Warren Sapp.

Some news, views and comments about everything and anything, relevant and irreverent.

Super Rich Selfies

22 April 2016

It’s hardly a new phenomenon, but the Daily Telegraph recently picked up on how the next generation of privileged offspring are witlessly putting their families at risk with social media posts that leave heads of private security collectively chewing the carpet in frustration.

Of course, you don’t have to be super-rich to be super-silly with your social media.  A quick ‘here we all are in Benidorm’ might as well be captioned ‘there’s nobody home in Bathgate, it’s all yours, local criminals’.

While we all take a little more care with our holiday postings, basic home security isn’t the worse excess of the minted and dim witted.

Unable to keep their diamond-encrusted smart phones in their somewhat less than intelligent pockets, the cash-rich, brain-poor offspring of the overloaded have been attempting to out-bling each other with ever more lavish postings of their ever more lavish lifestyles.

Unfortunately, it’s not just their equally air-headed peers who’ve been taking an envious interest.

Criminals keeping tabs on the family movements have been finding the ‘follow’ button very useful.  Reporting your movements to all and sundry?  Don’t be surprised if all and sundry catch up with you when you least expect it.  Try explaining that away to mummy and daddy, when you’re all banged up in a basement in Bangkok, waiting for the ransom demand to be paid (other hostage situation locations are available).

Debt collectors too have found fun and fortune in swiping right on the social media pages of the rich and not-so-famous.  The Telegraph reported that about three-quarters of debt recovery cases now involve an element of social media investigation.  “What, no assets?  Well, the driver of that Bentley looks suspiciously like your university drop-out offspring, doesn’t it?”

Plus social media is the next  line of enquiry up the sleeves of tax authorities around the world.  If your balance sheet runs to a significantly spectacular multiple of your tax return, chances are someone is thinking about surreptitiously following you for less than friendly reasons.

At Springfords, you can rest assured we will not be stalking you on social media.  However we’re  not the sorts to let conspicuous displays of bling go unchallenged if it might be challenged by HMRC.  We’ll help keep you in the picture, not get your picture in the papers.

Welcome to my blog. Here you'll find knit, crochet, yarn, and strings. These are a few of my favorite things!

Belle Pointelle Knit Dishcloth Pattern

Belle Pointelle Knit Dishcloth Pattern

The Belle Pointelle is a "fit in the palm of your hand" kind of dishcloth. It's smaller than what I normally use, but it's nice to have one small enough to clean the inside of a drinking glass. This uses yarn-overs and decreases to create an openwork pointelle pattern. Because the edges start to curl when finished, I added a crochet border. If you don't crochet, don't worry. The border is completely optional.

This was knit with Bernat Handicrafter Cotton DeLux yarn in Navy. I can't find the DeLux on their website, but there are quite a few options for Bernat Handicrafter Cotton on Amazon.

What is benchmarking?
Benchmarking means measuring a building’s energy use and comparing it to that of similar buildings. Making this information publicly available will allow owners and occupants to understand how their building’s energy performance compares to that of their peers, as well as identify the extent of the opportunity available for improvement.
How will my building benefit from benchmarking?
By providing information about a building’s energy use and comparing its performance to similar buildings, energy benchmarking empowers building owners, managers, and other stakeholders to make more informed decisions, identify opportunities to improve energy use in their buildings, and save money. Evidence of these benefits is already available: by analyzing data from over 35,000 buildings that Used Portfolio Manager and received an ENERGY STAR score from 2008 to 2011, US EPA found that average energy use declined by 7%. For more benchmarking trends, visit US EPA’s DataTrends Series, found at
Does the ordinance require mandatory improvements, audits or retrofits?
No. This ordinance will help building managers and owners make their own choices about whether and how to save money by becoming more energy efficient.

Energy Star Portfolio Manager

What is ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager?
ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager is a free online tool developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) that allows you to track and assess energy and water use across your entire portfolio of buildings in a secure online environment. With Portfolio Manager, you can calculate the building’s energy performance, compare it with similar buildings and monitor it over time. When you benchmark the building in Portfolio Manager, one of the key metrics you’ll see is energy use intensity, or EUI. Essentially, the EUI expresses a building’s energy use as a function of its size or other characteristics. For most property types in Portfolio Manager, the EUI is expressed as energy per square foot per year. It’s calculated by dividing the total energy consumed by the building in one year by square footage. For many building types, Portfolio Manager calculates the ENERGY STAR rating, which indicates how efficiently buildings use energy on a 1-100 scale, where a score of 50 indicates average energy performance. Buildings with a score of 75 or better are top performers and may be eligible for the ENERGY STAR certification. Some building types are currently not eligible to receive an ENERGY STAR score, but can still benefit from benchmarking, as Portfolio Manager calculates other energy performance metrics such as EUI.
How is the performance of my building evaluated in Portfolio Manager?
Once utility information and basic building characteristics are entered into Portfolio Manager software, the tool calculates the building’s source Energy Use Intensity (EUI) expressed in kBTU per square foot. The EUI is then normalized for local weather patterns using data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. If your building falls into one or more of the 15 building categories, then Portfolio Manager will automatically compare the normalized EUI to the national dataset of that category or mix of categories. Your building then receives a score between 1– 100. A score of 50 indicates your building is performing at the national average for that building type. A building with a score of 80, however, performs in the top 20th percentile of buildings in its category. A score of 35 would indicate a building within the bottom 35th percentile of energy performance nationwide. As mentioned, building performance scores are not available for all building types.
How do I access and use Portfolio Manager?
Portfolio Manager is free and easily accessible at EPA’s energy benchmarking site The easiest way to get started is to download the Portfolio Manager Starter Kit. Once you have reviewed the guidelines it is easy to log on and open an account. If you are new to Portfolio Manager, it is best to take a live or recorded webinar training for Portfolio Manager before starting actual benchmarking. You can access the training section of Portfolio Manager by going to
How do I create a Portfolio Manager Account?
Click here to create a Portfolio Manager account and go to the "Create a New Account" button on the homepage. You will then fill out an Account Information form and complete the requested information, and your account will be created!
What is the difference between LEED and ENERGY STAR?
ENERGY STAR is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) program that focuses on improving energy performance in buildings as a method of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a green building certification offered by the nonprofit U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

ENERGY STAR is a technical assistance and recognition program that offers owners and managers of All buildings access to free tools and resources to help them evaluate their energy performance and reduce energy use and GHG emissions. Organizations are encouraged to begin by benchmarking the performance of their buildings using ENERGY STAR’s Portfolio Manager online energy tracking tool. For certain types of buildings that perform in the top 25% compared to their peers nationwide, the ENERGY STAR label is available as an indicator of superior energy performance. Buildings carrying the ENERGY STAR label consume on average about 35 percent less energy than their non‐ENERGY STAR counterparts. The ENERGY STAR label is not automatic; to earn an ENERGY STAR label, building owners must apply to EPA by submitting a Statement of Energy Performance, validated by a Professional Engineer or Registered Architect. St. Louis is NOT requiring any buildings to become ENERGY STAR labeled.

LEED is a building certification process that looks at various aspects of “green building” and awards recognition to buildings that meet certain standards. Users of the LEED process earn credits in several categories associated with green buildings. These differ by the type of LEED certification, but generally include: sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy & atmosphere, materials & resources, indoor environmental quality, and innovation. While each category may have required prerequisites that must be met, for the bulk of the credits required for certification users can choose in which categories they wish to focus based on their own priorities. Energy efficiency may or may not be one of those priorities, depending on the user. It is possible for a LEED‐certified building to use energy very inefficiently; this is particularly true of older LEED‐buildings, as USGBC has started to require buildings seeking certification to meet a minimum energy performance standard in addition to having enough credits overall.
I am purchasing green power generated and delivered by my local utility. Will this improve my 1-100 score?
No. The ENERGY STAR rating is a measure of the thermodynamic performance of your building, which is determined by the amount and type of fuel your building consumes. The rating is designed to reflect the energy efficiency of the building, not the efficiency of the utility (or source) supplying energy to your building. Each fuel in Portfolio Manager is assigned one national source-to-site factor, which does not provide either a credit or a penalty to a building due to efficiency of the local grid. This provides an equitable evaluation of the building’s performance relative to the national building stock.

Determining Applicability & Compliance

Is my building required to benchmark, and what are the deadlines for reporting?
All municipal, institutional, commercial and multifamily buildings equal to or greater than 50,000 square feet will be required to report benchmarking data to the City of St. Louis on a yearly basis. The first compliance deadline is April 1, 2018, and each April 1 thereafter. Below is a timeline for the initial reporting phases. All buildings will fall into 2 groups of cover properties:

  • “Group 1 covered property” means a covered property:
    • That is a building that is greater than or equal to 50,000 gross square feet in total combined floor area; and
    • That is owned by the City; or
    • For which the City regularly pays all or a majority of the annual energy bills.
  • “Group 2 covered property” means a covered property, other than Group 1 covered property,
    • That is a building that is greater than or equal to 50,000 gross square feet in total combined floor area; or
    • That has a building that is held in the condominium form of ownership that is governed by the same board, and that is greater than or equal to 50,000 gross square feet in total combined floor area.
The program is phased in by building ownership:

  • All municipal buildings of at least 50,000 square feet must comply no later than December 31, 2017 and each April 1 thereafter.
  • Owners of non-municipal buildings (institutional, commercial, & multifamily residential) of at least 50,000 square feet must comply no later than April 1, 2018 and each April 1 thereafter.
Are there exemptions and/or extensions mentioned in the ordinance?
The Commissioner may grant an extension of the benchmarking submission date or an exemption from the benchmarking requirements to the other of a covered property that submit a request, together with documentation, in a form prescribed by the Commissioner’s rule, at least 30 days prior to any benchmarking submission deadlines, establishing any of the following criteria:

  • Building is under the minimum 50,000 square feet size threshold for gross floor area.
  • A demolition permit was issued during the prior calendar year, provided that demolition work has commenced and energy-related systems have been significantly compromised.
  • The owner is unable to benchmark due to the failure of either a utility or a tenant (or both) to report the information necessary for the owner to complete any benchmarking submittal requirement.
  • Due to special circumstances unique to the applicant’s facility and not based on a condition caused by the actions of the applicant, strict compliance with provisions of this ordinance would not be in the public interest.
  • Building is owned by the State of Missouri or the federal government.
Financial hardship
  • Building had arrears of property taxes or water or refuse charges that resulted in the property’s inclusion, within the prior two (2) years, on the city’s annual tax lien sale list.
  • Building had a court appointed receiver in control of the assets due to financial distress.
  • Building is owned by a financial institution through default by the borrower.
  • Building has been acquired by a deed in lieu of foreclosure.
  • Building has a senior mortgage subject to a notice of default.
Building Use/Occupancy
  • The property is primarily used for manufacturing or other industrial purposes for which benchmarking results would not meaningfully reflect covered property energy use – characteristics due to the intensive use of process energy.
  • Building is a Group 2 covered property and all or substantially all of the property is used for communications infrastructure.
  • The property does not have a certificate of occupancy or temporary certificate of occupancy for all 12 months of the calendar year being benchmarked.
  • The building had average physical occupancy of less than 50 percent throughout the calendar year for which benchmarking is required.
Any owner requesting such an extension or exemption shall provide the Commissioner any and all documentation request to substantiate the request or otherwise assist the Commissioner in the extension or exemption determination. Any extension or exemption granted shall be limited to the benchmarking submission for which the request was made and shall not extend to past or future submittals

Violations & Enforcement

What happens if a building owner fails to comply?
Any person who fails to comply with any benchmarking information submittal requirement mandated by this article or misrepresents any material fact in a document or report prepared as required by this article shall result in the following:

  1. A written warning shall be issued by the Commissioner to an owner who fails to submit any required benchmarking information. Such warning letter shall be effective on the date of issuance and shall be mailed to the owner’s last known address as determined by county record.
  2. In the event required benchmarking information is not reported within sixty (60) days of the date the written warning is issued, said failure shall constitute an offense and shall be punishable, upon conviction, by a fine of not less than $50.00 and not more than $200.00. For any continuing violation of this article, each day of the violation shall be considered a separate offense. In no event shall the cumulative fine imposed hereunder exceed $1000.00 annually.

*Buildings not in compliance with the ordinance would NOT be eligible for issuance of new residential or commercial occupancy permits*

Entering Building Information Questions

What building information do I need to collect?
Portfolio Manager requires basic building information, including:

  • Year built, occupancy level, and total gross floor area (including any parking areas that consume energy).
  • Primary function, gross floor area, and property use details for each specific space use (including weekly operating hours, number of computers, percent heated / cooled, etc). Find a list of required information by building type in the Portfolio Manager Data Collection Worksheet.
  • St. Louis Building ID: a seven-digit number found by clicking on the “Address Lookup” button located on the homepage of this website.
Potential sources of this information include building management and operations staff, architectural drawings and other building documents, direct measurements or – as a last resort – tenants or other occupants.

How To Make Room for New Toys Before the Holidays Hit

  • Three young kids play in an already crowded toy room.
By the time the holidays are over, your children will likely have dozens of new toys.

Instead of trying to stuff them in an already full playroom or bedroom, why not spend a few hours now and make room for all the new dolls, books, cars, and games that are sure to come.

It’ll make your house cleaner and more organized. But, more importantly, you’ll be creating a clutter-free environment that—hopefully—will allow your children to appreciate and take care of what they have. Here’s how to get the job done.

Get Rid of the Broken Toys, “Freebies,” and Crafts

This is an easy first step. Throw away anything that is missing too many parts or is beat-up and never used. Look around for all the little “prizes” kids get in school, daycare, at birthday parties, or from fast food restaurants.

Work while your kids are not around and don’t worry about accidentally getting rid of something your child treasures. If you’re really on the fence about an item, put it in a bag in your closet for three days. If it’s never mentioned, out it goes.

The same goes for all of the crafts your kids make. Of course you should keep a few favorites, but you also need to make room for all of the drawings and art projects that are surely on their way.

Pack Up Toys Your Child Has Outgrown

If you’re done having children, this step is fairly straightforward. If your child no longer uses a toy, donate it, sell it or pack it up and save it to be sold at a garage sale.

Things get a little more complicated if you expect to have more children or have younger kids who will “grow into” their older siblings’ toys. Instead of just leaving them lying around, pack them up and bring them out when the time is right.

Evaluate What’s Left

At this point, you should only be left with toys in good condition that your child actually uses. Does the playroom look organized and pleasant? Or is it still a hot mess of overflowing shelves?

If there are still too many toys, consider practicing the art of toy rotation. Pack up a box—or a few boxes—and stash them where your children won’t find them. Bring it out in two weeks and pack up a new box to be put away. Repeat the swap every few weeks.

Consider Self Storage

There might be times when renting a self storage unit is just what you need to tackle toys. Maybe you’ve packed up a bunch of boxes for a summer garage sale. Or maybe you have boxes of toys you’re saving for younger children.

At StorageMart, we offer clean, well-lit storage units in a variety of sizes—all of which can be rented on a month-to-month basis. Someday, you’ll miss seeing toys everywhere (OK, maybe not), but until then, renting a self storage units can offer an easy and affordable solution.

The Grand Prismatic and a new Video!

See you today at B&H Photo for the Talk!

Hey, for all those not in New York, can I pick you up anything? Just dump your whole Christmas list in the comments! hehe…

I’ll be speaking today at B&H Photo in their Event Space. It starts at 12 noon sharp, and I’ll be talking about HDR as well as giving a short tutorial… If you have your own book or want a new one signed, I’m happy to do that too!

The Yellowstone How-To Video on Grand-Prismatic

Here is another free video for you all. This one is a bit different than the others, and I go into more details of everything that went into the shot of the Grand Prismatic Spring, which you can see below. Enjoy. And let me know if you want to see more videos like this in the future!

Daily Photo – The Grand Prismatic

This place is awesome and huge. Want to know how huge? Look at those people standing there on the boardwalk towards the top. Amazing, eh?

Getting this shot (and all my others!) was no cake walk! But I am happy with the way it turned out. One thing you don’t see in the video is how dirty I got on the way down the mountain when I decided to take a “short cut”. It was a bad idea for both me and my jeans.

The Grand Prismatic

  • Such an eerie place…
    Great shot!

  • Last Saturday I watch the 2012 movie and one of the movie scene is this ‘volcano lake’…and now you bring the yelowstone lake in HDR..Great!!

  • Wow, looks like you have been on another planet.

  • Wonderful photo, and I especially loved your explanation for taking the photo.
    in this fantastic location, combined with your video.
    Small question, she departed you used to get this quality of video image.
    Thank you

  • I really enjoyed this video. It linked me with your photo. Great stuff, like usually (however this photo is not in the 100 favs of mine done by you). Thanks again!

  • Reminds me of home,great work,hope you have recover from the mosquito bites;-)

  • One question about the great! video: what is you’re saying about an “Orc” at 8:45?

  • Don Householder

    Fun video, great shot! Always interesting to see other photog’s and their approaches, (especially your bracketing strategy in this case).

    Oh, note to Patrick Ahles – he’s saying “Government Work” (not “Orc”), a kind of slang American saying usually meaning “up to the minimum requirements of a certain standard”.

  • Fantastic photo. It gives you a sense for how large this place was.

  • @Don, haha, guess I’m in to fantasy a bit too much… 😛

  • Hey Trey I just wanted to point you to PixelatedImage! One of the main men David DuChemin are recommending your book! Huge accomplishment congrats!

  • Wonderful photo of one of the “bigger” hot spots at Yellowstone!!! It is am amazing place. I highly recommend that anyone who has a chance to visit YNP, take the time to really look it all over. There’s much more to it than just the lodge and “Old Faithful”. Sorry about your jeans, Trey. Probably wasn’t a good idea. Funny how shortcuts sometimes turn out that way 😉 . Oh, BTW, while you are in NYC, would you go to the coke store and buy me another glass bottle of diet coke for Christmas, lol. I still have the empty bottle from my visit to NYC in ’97 🙂 . It was sure a fun place to visit. Don’t have toooo much fun while you are there, not that you ever do, lol. Enjoy yourself when you get a chance. And take care of that hand again!!!! How wonderful that more people are recommending your book. I am so looking forward to it!!!! I know, I said that before, lol.

  • Gimpat

    So you actually waited another hour or two with all the mosquitos around you? That’s dedication and the result is great as we can see! Thanks for sharing the info. I will use the historigram in the future.

  • thanks for the video! i love watching “how” you get your composition and your photos to create your beautiful HDR’s! keep ’em coming

  • Bcvammen

    Thank you for the video! I’m always interested in watching valuable info like this! Please keep them coming. Great work.

  • I watched the video!! Excellent job, Trey. All that hill hiking around will keep you young and fit, that’s for sure.

  • casusan

    Awesome video Trey! Interesting – you have alot of patience and stamina! The shot is great – amazing!

  • Just finished watching the video – it was great – the music on it was so good – it was kind of distracting to me…. ( :
    I like the shot but I am thinking that you don’t see the size of it, cause you don’t really notice the people by just looking at the pic. So I am wondering if including some of the surrounding area would have helped in regard to the size of the lake.

  • one more thought on the flip camera (I just got mine):
    I bought a wide angle converter which I can use on the flip camera – this will turn the camera into a more wide angle and it will also help prevent camera shake.

  • Genevieve

    How many lenses did you have with you? Plus the cam, tripod, & flip video? You must have a great backpack! It is very interesting to see what you had to do to get your magnificent shot.

  • Bhanu

    That was a nice video Trey! Haven’t had a chance to wander off in YNP yet, and am really looking forward to go there next spring!

  • Facebook User

    Wow great work! I was with a bunch of people from college, but if I were alone, I totally would’ve made the hike up that hill to get the shot! My boardwalk angles totally don’t do it justice

  • Stuart B

    Fantastic shot. Like the videos very much – would love to see more of them.

  • Jim

    Trey, great shot. Off topic, your HDR Workshop in Tampa, FL. I want to sign up for both days. Will the content be different on both days as to make it worthwhile? Such a good deal and all. I need to book some airfare and was needing your input. Oh yes, my wife is getting me your book for Christmas…. Thanks

  • Mitch Sacks

    Now all we need is the video showing you’re post processing technique!

  • Facebook User

    Loved the video Trey, especially your commentary through it all! 🙂 It was great getting to see how you set up for the photo. I would love to see more videos like this.

  • Facebook User

    So first off great vid and I really hope to see more thanks. And also you set the auto bracketing feature from -5 to 0 instead of -2 to 2 is that normally a preference in bright landscapes? thanks again.

  • Dave Polen

    Trey, great stuff as always!!
    I was in Yellowstone this summer and I climbed that same “hill” as you did.
    I could feel your pain man. lol

  • Brian Bishop

    Trey, another idea for a video would be to set up your video camera and show how you actually process the photos in Photomatix or which ever s/w you use. Hiking and composing and shooting is only part of the battle!

  • Thanks for the comments.

    Jim, The content will be similar, but I will endeavor to use different shots as “demo” shots each day. Since Day 2 will also include new people, I will be going over much of the same important stuff twice… but it is important, so maybe that is okay! 🙂

    FB User – no – I usually just do +2 to -2

    Dave – hehe good!

    Brian – yes – I am working on a whole series of those videos

  • This is super helpful. Thanks for sharing the video of the shot. I look forward to more of this type of stuff. If you’re ever in Dallas (TX), I’d be thrilled to shoot footage of a photo walk or an event!

  • hemlock

    Sensational, hope to see more vids in future… btw what is the music you had playing in the background?

  • loved your grand prismatic tutorial. in february i spent a week snowmobiling in the park shooting from eight thirty til six thirty and got a few good shots. was wondering if you could tell me what is the music playing behind you starting at about five minutes ten seconds into the video. checked your 50 song list and couldn’t find it. would love to get the album from itunes. thanks, linda schenck

  • That is Andreas Vollenweider – Down to the Moon ! I think that is the live version

  • Justin

    Waiting for the wind to change was well worth it. The final result is amazing!! What is in your camera hotshoe in the video?

  • This is one of my favorite spots in Yellowstone, I love it. It’s great that you got far enough away to get the whole thing in one shot. And what a shot! So beautiful.

    Wonderful video, these “behind the scenes” vids are really helpful. I definitely want to go to Yellowstone soon, especially after seeing your images from there. Also, could you tell me what was the music that started playing in the background at about ten seconds? I really love those soft. relaxing tunes. Thanks!

Stylist’s Pick From The All Access Pop Up

We’re super excited for our accessories pop up, All Access, to open at Melange this Saturday! We know that you can hardly wait for it to be Saturday already, so we have a little something that might help you make your decision when you’re standing there, surrounded by super awesome accessories, trying to decide which ones to take home! Yes, we have for you our pick of the collections, SC favourites that you will definitely want to check out!

Ajarakh print brogues from Vraj:Bhoomi are, without a doubt, the coolest shoes we have seen so far for Fall. Ajarakh is a traditional craft that’s done using handmade blocks and natural dyes, and it’s one of the most beautiful textile crafts of our country! You can wear these amazing shoes with almost any kind of outfit – casual or formal. Make sure you grab a pair of these before they’re cleaned out!

Envelope Clutches from Arancia by Payal Shah are super chic. They are bright, fun and versatile. They’ll complement any outfit perfectly, day to night! Better watch out for these!

Picking out one favourite from the Bansri collection proved to be very difficult, but we chose this beautiful pearl choker because it combines the classic elegance of pearls with the edginess of a statement piece! SC approves.

Citrus by Vidhi and Vartika is what we like to call “urban hipster”, with fun pieces that balance the indo-western factor perfectly. These colorful earrings will bring “chic” to an Indian traditional outfit as well as a western one. They’re the go-to accessory for evening dressing this season, so make sure you take them home with you!

Valliyan by Nitya features some very bold, unconventional designs in the collection, but we picked out this one because of it’s simplicity and sheer charm. We’re pretty sure it would make for an awesome accessory paired with your evening dresses!
