Green Building

Green Building

A sustainable building, or green building is an outcome of a design which focuses on increasing the efficiency of resource use — energy, water, and materials — while reducing building impacts on human health and the environment during the building's lifecycle, through better siting, design,construction, operation, maintenance, and removal.

Green buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment by:

• Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources
• Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity
• Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation

A similar concept is natural building, which is usually on a smaller scale and tends to focus on the use of natural materials that are available locally.Other commonly used terms include sustainable design and green architecture.

The related concepts of sustainable development and sustainability are integral to green building. Effective green building can lead to 1) reduced operating costs by increasing productivity and using less energy and water, 2) improved public and occupant health due to improved indoor air quality, and 3) reduced environmental impacts by, for example, lessening storm water runoff and the heat island effect. Practitioners of green building often seek to achieve not only ecological but aesthetic harmony between a structure and its surrounding natural and built environment, although the appearance and style of sustainable buildings is not necessarily distinguishable from their less sustainable counterparts.

Highschool Rockers lyrics

It started off as a reason
A reason for the season
The plan of the mission was about to go the other way
Of possition
A multi expedition
Time after time it helds me up! 

Now I'm in a mess
Such a stress
I don't wanna know

Where it goes
How it flows
Never mind lets go
To a better place, off this chase
I will leave it all

So I better run away
Coz all I wanna be is just a

(C/o)
Highschool rocker! 
A mighty mighty stopper! 
Nothing... s gonna change my mind to blow! 

Just another believer! 
A lousy lousy lover! 
Nothing... s gonna change my mind to blow! 

It's off alone to be a disaster
And closer to the answer
The cross of my finger could be more than just a way! to! see! 
What I will be
And strike away to be me
Time after time it wakes me up! 

Now I'm in a mess
Such a stress
I don't wanna know

Where it goes
How it flows
Never mind lets go
To a better place! 
Off this chase! 
I will leave it all
So I better run away

Coz all I wanna be is just a

Highschool rocker! 
A mighty mighty stopper! 
Nothing... s gonna change my mind to blow!

Fine lyrics

Why is it everytime I try
It always comes back as a lie
I could believe in the words that you say to me
But lately I think I wont agree

What makes the world go by
If you cannot crush my life

What holds you up so high
When you want it all the time

(C/o)
Coz we will be fine
In matter of time
Subject to my mind
As were crossing the line

Directions to see
Perfection to be
A pain of a kind
Always crashing on me

Suffercate, time, matter I'll be fine
Today

And the days they go on and on
As all the time I'm all alone
It never pays me to say that I'm not ok
But you still have time to make fun of me

What makes the world go by
If u cannot crush my life

What holds you up so high
When you want it all the time

(C/o)

And I don't believe
In time we will see
A pain of a kind
Always crashing on me

Suffercate, time, matter I'll be fine

Today...

CLUB HERITAGE

In 1886, a group of workers at the Woolwich Arsenal Armament Factory formed a team called Dial Square, renaming themselves to Royal Arsenal shortly afterwards. The team turned professional in 1891 and changed its name again to Woolwich Arsenal, eventually dropping the prefix completely in 1913 when they moved to Highbury.

The Gunners joined the Second Division in 1893 and were promoted in 1904. Success eluded them until the arrival of Herbert Chapman in 1925 when they won the league five times between 1930 and 1938 and the FA Cup twice. Chapman, who died in 1934, was also behind the renaming of the nearest London Underground station to Arsenal.

Arsenal had to wait until the 1970s for their next period of success. But their first double in 1971 was followed by several near-misses - finishing second in 1972, and losing three FA Cup finals and the 1980 European Cup Winners' Cup final.

It was not until the return of ex-player George Graham as manager that the club rose to greatness again - winning six trophies during his nine-year reign. That included League Cup success in 1987 and 1993, the FA Cup in 1993, the league title in 1989 and 1991 and European Cup Winners' Cup in 1994. Arsenal hold the enviable record of the most consecutive seasons in the top flight - 80 at present.

Video Card / Graphic card

Introduction of Video Card

A video card, also known as a graphics accelerator card, display adapter, or graphics card, is an expansion card whose function is to generate and output images to a display. Some video cards offer added functions, such as video capture, TV tuner adapter, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 decoding, FireWire, light pen, TV output, or the ability to connect multiple monitors.
A common misconception regarding video cards is that they are strictly used for video games. Video cards instead have a much broader range of capability, for example, they play a very important role for graphic designers and 3D animators, who tend to require optimum displays for their work as well as faster rendering in order to efficiently tone up their work


History

1. The first IBM PC video card, which was released with the first IBM PC, was developed by IBM in 1981. Starting with the MDA (Monochrome Display Adapter) in 1981, several video cards were released, which are summarized in the attached table.VGA was widely accepted, which led some corporations such as ATI, Cirrus Logic and S3 to work with that video card, improving its resolution and the number of colours it used. This developed into the SVGA (Super VGA) standard, which reached 2 MB of video memory and a resolution of 1024x768 at 256 color mode.
2. In 1995 the first consumer 2D/3D cards were released, developed by Matrox, Creative, S3, ATI and others.
3. In 1997, 3dfx released the Voodoo graphics chip, which was more powerful compared to other consumer graphics cards, introducing 3D effects such mip mapping, Z-buffering and anti-aliasing into the consumer market.
4. From 1999 until 2002, NVIDIA controlled the video card market (taking over 3dfx) with the GeForce family.
5. In 2006, the leadership of the video cards market was contested between NVIDIA and ATI with their biggest graphics models GeForce and Radeon respectively.

Video Memory

The memory capacity of most modern video cards range from 128 MB to 4.0 GB. During and after that year, manufacturers moved towards DDR2, GDDR3 and GDDR4 even GDDR5 utilized most notably by the ATI Radeon HD 4870.The effective memory clock rate in modern cards are generally between 400 MHz and 3.8 GHz.
