How HTML Files Access CSS
Html can access the files of CSS within three ways inline internal and external First let's start with inline CSS, the main benefit of CSS inline is written as attributes of the css such as the (h1) tag. Furthermore the main benefit of inline is that it overrides external and internal css therefore allowing you to place general tags within external or internal and then change or reconsider each one within the inline of CSS, in addition it can be used if a style is applied to a single event of a section. An example of inline css could be ---- (h1 style=”colour:red”) Secondly there is internal CSS, internal css can be used for one single document that has a single style internal styles are located in the (head) part of a html page, this means that any css on the page will inherit the the format of the internal CSS, for example if you set the font colour to red then the entire page will change,the only problem with internal css is that if you use tags such as (h2) you will need to copy the code again for a different page. An example of internal css can be (head) (style) (/style) (/head) Then finally there is External CSS, which can have a external style sheet that is applied to all or many pages with this you can change aspects of a website by changing one file on the external file. Furthermore this makes it more easier to track and get changes implemented quicker you can go further with external by changing some of it with inline css to make changes more precisely. An example of external css is -------(link ref=”stylesheet” href=”style.css”
Box Model Of CSS
The margin is the furthest edge of the box it displays the space between the element and other terms on the page and it is completely transparent, furthermore margins can collapse on each other so that the bottom margin joins up with the top margin of the below element. The border is the term suited for the box surrounding the inner box. The border can be reset 0 so it disappears and the borders edge is the same as the padding edge. Furthermore borders are the main decoration or style of the webpage and can be used with decorative borders as well. The Padding is the space between the border and the content padding is the same colour as the background colour for the box, furthermore if the padding is set to 0 the padding border will be the same as the content this is similar to the border in the fact it can shrink The content is what is says on the tin, this is the element of the box this can contain text images or videos it's basically what's displayed inside the box,therefore the most important content/ features normally stays inside this box.
Horizontal Card
Javascript is the main scripting language that coders use it enables web designers to design sites,furthermore this is so easy for the cause JavaScript is an open language meaning anyone can use it without buying a licence.JavaScript allows designers to put dynamic content into their websites and with every Browser these days supporting it ,it puts it out there for the world to enjoy. Variable: A variable is where something with values can be assigned , therefore it can be declared using ‘Var’ to words or numbers Example-----(script)var num=27 var name=”boii” var sum=num+name (/script) If and else statements: if statements are to execute some code only when the condition is met or true, else statements are used to execute some code if the condition is true and other code if it's false Example--------IF “I had a drink” ELSE “i'd be thirsty” Arithmetic operator: these are used to assign values to JavaScript variables, the = you see in most code is a JavaScript assignment operator and is used to assign a value from the right operand as the new operand on the the left operand. Each time you assign values in this way the left operand value is always overwritten with a new value. Furthermore more operations could include the +,-,* and the / . The operand must be css quantities. Moreover, variables whose values is a quantity may also be used as an operand. FOR and WHILE loops: a for loop is a piece of code which is executed over and over again until it fulfils a preset criteria, for loops will be executed while the count is less than or equal to five. Once the count gets to six the loop will move on to the next statement. Whereas while loops are a repeat of a block of code as long as a specified condition is true. The process continues until the condition becomes false then it ends the loop it can also break if you use a break statement. Do/while loop: this is a variation of the while loop this loop executes the code block once before checking to see if the condition is true then it will repeat the loop as long as the condition stays true. Object orientation programming: is the view of objects we want to manipulate rather than the logic required to manipulate them, this can range from objects such as human beings to widgets on a computer desktop. Event handling: refers to the specific user actions on a web page such as clicking a link or submitting a form, thanks to event handling scripts can be more interactive and are able to perform certain tasks depending on the users. Javascript function: this is defined with the function keyword followed by function name then brackets, this code will be executed when someone calls upon the function. Example---------when a user clicks a button. Parameter passing: is a method on ways parameters can be transferred between method to another method.

Your goal is to find the definitive address of job centres across the UK.
When you start the game, you’ll see the name and address of a job centre on the left-hand side. On the right, you’ll see 9 different addresses from AddressBase.
Click on one of the 9 addresses you think matches the address of the job centre.
If none match, click ‘No match’ and if you’re unsure, click ‘Not sure’ to move onto the next job centre.
You only need to match the addresses - the name of the job centre is not important. The more matches you make and the more accurate they are, the more you score.
The address on the left hand-side is from a list of UK job centres. The 9 addresses on the right are drawn from AddressBase data containing a Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN). We want to find the UPRN of each job centre, by matching the job centre’s text address on the left to the correct UPRN-associated address on the right.
Matching addresses is hard. Automated matching only takes us so far, and typically misses the most complex addresses. This tool takes the crowd-sourcing approach: you are asked to match addresses manually from a list of possible candidates.
Your score will reflect the number of matches you’ve made, as well as how well your guesses match other people’s. Enough matches will allow us to establish with a good degree of certainty the correct answer.

Man sentenced for escaping from custody after northern Illinois bank robbery
by Stephen CohnMADISON, Wis. - A Georgia man was sentenced Wednesday to two years in federal prison for escaping from custody.
Larry Dollar, 48, of Duluth, Georgia, pleaded guilty to the offense Aug. 22.
According to a news release, Dollar was sentenced to five years in federal prison in October 2017 for bank robbery in the Northern District of Illinois.
In January, Dollar was furloughed to Rock Valley Community Programs in Janesville from Florida, where he was in jail. When Dollar did not arrive in Janesville, he was arrested by University of Georgia police and charged with escape from federal custody.
The release said the judge considered Dollar's untreated schizophrenia and alcohol addiction in deciding his punishment.

Over the years there has been much written about shortening axle
housings, but it has been rare to ever see anything written by a
shade tree mechanic (or is that a Shade Tree Howler Monkey?). No one
has ever written a guide to help you do it yourself (at least not
that I know of). Because of this I wasn't sure I'd be able to do the
job myself. Among the rumors I had heard were that I would need a 50
ton press to get the old tubing out of the knuckle, I would never
get the geometry right, and the old standard of "Do you really think
you can do something yourself that shops need ten of thousands of
dollars worth of equipment to do?". Here's what I did and how I did
it.
I started with an axle housing from a narrow track '78 Cherokee and
knowledge I gained from the Jeep tech list and members of my club.
I lucked into getting the complete front end for $40, so I wasn't
too worried about ruining it.
The first thing I did was to set the Dana 44 in front of my Jeep and
start measuring. The spring pads were about 32 inches apart, 4 inches
wider than my CJ. The overall length was around 61 inches from wheel
mounting surface to wheel mounting surface and my CJ widetrack front
end was 56 inches. The distance from the spring pads to the wheel
mounting surface was pretty close to my CJ, so I reasoned that I
could leave the short side alone and shorten the long side about
4 inches. This agreed with everything I had read on Jeep-tech, so
I decided to go ahead with it.
I also checked caster and pinion angles. My CJ had about 0 degrees of
caster, the spring pads were parallel with the floor and the pinion
was about 5 degrees up relative to the floor. This isn't the standard
way of measuring pinion angle, I was just trying to measure the
relative angle between the spring pads and pinion angle so I could
duplicate it on the new front end. Then I measured it out on the
Dana 44 front end. With the spring pads parallel to the floor the
pinion was 12 degrees up and caster was at 0 degrees. This is a
very good thing, it meant I could cut 7 degrees out of the cast
in spring pad on the housing, the other spring pad has to be moved
anyways. The end result would be a pinion angle of 5 degrees up
(relative to the floor) and 7 degrees of caster without cutting
and turning the inner knuckle on the short side.
The first step was to remove the brakes, rotors, spindles and outer
knuckles, shafts, and differential carrier. This is all well documented
elsewhere, so I won't go into detail here. I stripped it down to the
bare housing except I left the pinion in (no reason, I just didn't
feel like removing it). Next I used a 4" grinder to remove the spring
perch and shock mount from the long axle tube. I gouged the tube a
bit in doing this so I welded up the gouges and ground them smooth
again.
Next I re-cut the spring perch that is cast into the center section to
give me the proper pinion angle. I had to take off more than 1/4" of
metal at one end and taper down to none removed at the other. I
started by setting the axle on jackstands with a third jack stand
under the pinion. I carefully adjusted and shimmed the jackstand
under the pinion until I had the housing positioned just right.
I set it up so that the final pad angle would be correct if I held
the grinder level. I installed a new wheel on the grinder and
started at the thick end. I pushed the grinder across using the edge
to cut away the metal, stopping to check the angle several time.
Eventually I was finished. The spring pad looks great and is perfectly
flat. I am very pleased with the results, although it did take a long
time and I went through 3 grinding wheels.
The next step was the actual cutting of the tube. I brought the housing
down to my friend Tim Norstad's house because he has a chop saw and is
always generous with his tools. I had already measured and marked the
tubing at home. This is not difficult, just remember that the tube
sticks into the inner knuckle a bit, so don't cut the tubing off
at 4" away from the knuckle. I'm not going to give an actual
measurement here because I'm not positive everyone's axle housing
will be identical to mine. I purposely cut my tubing about 1/8"
short in case I decided to weld where the end of the tube meets the
knuckle. The tubing wasn't any more difficult to cut than any other
piece of metal that size. After the tube was cut to size I had a
short piece of tube still attached to the inner knuckle. Tim and I
cut that tube off as close to the knuckle as possible.
When I got home I clamped the inner knuckle in my vice and started
grinding off the bead and old tube where it attached to the knuckle.
The guys in my club said to grind until I just started to see a line
or crack between the tube and the knuckle. Their next suggestion was
to press out the old tube with a hydraulic press. I don't have a
press so I tried hammering it with a 3 lb hammer and punch. This did
nothing. Then I put the knuckle back in the vice, took my hacksaw
apart and put the blade through the center and reconnected it. I
made 2 cuts about 90 degrees apart and then easily drove out the
pieces of tubing one at a time.
This left me with a free outer knuckle and a tube it needed to go on.
I had heard that I would definitely need a press for this part but I
had done it all myself so far, I wasn't going to stop here without
at least trying. I cleaned the rust and weld splatter off the tube
and ground a small bevel all the way around the edge. Next I started
tapping the knuckle on with a 1 lb ball peen hammer. It was working.
I had to hit it hard, but not so hard I was worried about bending
breaking anything.
After the outer knuckle was on 1/2" I stopped and set the caster. To
do this I set the housing up on jackstands again, this time I set it
so that the surface for the nut of the lower ball joint on the still
attached knuckle was level. Then I tapped the free knuckle until it
matched. From here I drove it on the rest of the way, stopping may
times to measure. After I had it in place I spent 2 hours with a tape
measure and angle finder making sure everything was right. I tack
welded it and let it sit for a week before I spent another hour
measuring again.
The only thing left was to weld the knuckle on. If you aren't sure
about your welding skills or your welder doesn't have a high enough
amp rating it would be best to leave it to a professional welder. One
important note is that the weld doesn't actually carry the weight of
the vehicle because the tubing sticks into the inner knuckle about an
inch. I have heard of people butt welding the knuckle to the tube
(they didn't remove the old tube from the knuckle, just cut it flush
and rewelded) but this sounds incredibly weak and dangerous to me,
not to mention the difficulty of lining up the pieces. The fact that
the tube is so far into the knuckle and such a tight fit in the
knuckle gives me the confidence to know it is strong and lined up
properly.
I re-installed the outer knuckles, spindles, and rotors to check out
the front end. The actual distance from wheel mounting surface to
wheel mounting surface is 57 inches. My wheels will stick out 1/2"
farther than they did before. All the angles check out right and
it looks like it should bolt in with no problems.
What's left? I need to send the long side inner axle shaft in to be
shortened, I need to weld the spring pad and shock mount for the long
side back on, I need new ball joints and U-joints and I need to decide
about the steering and brakes.
There are many steering and brake options available to me by mixing and
matching Jeep, Chevy, Ford and Scout II disc brake parts, so this won't
be a problem. My current thought is to use the Cherokee outer knuckles,
spindles and Chevy type brakes with F-150 rotors (F-150's have the same
5 on 5 1/2" wheel bolt pattern as Jeep CJ's). There are two advantages
to this: 1) I will get the stronger and less leaky internal type
lockouts and 2) The Cherokee tie rod mounts on top of the knuckles and
is much larger and stronger than a CJ tie rod.
Another possibility is using my stock outer knuckles, spindles, brakes
and steering with Scout II outer axle shafts. Scout II outer axle
shafts use the Dana 44 sized U-joint but are otherwise similar to CJ
outer shafts. Or I could use non disc brake CJ outer knuckles with
my stock steering, Cherokee spindles, Chevy type brakes and F-150
rotors and hubs or I could... The possibilities are limitless.

I'd like to thank Paul Weitlauf, Rick Boiros, Larry Soo and everyone
else on the Jeep-tech list who contributed to those threads, and the
guys in my club The Stone
Bros who had done this job before and were just waiting for
someone to ask how to do it.

PICNIC07: The City Is Here For You To Use, Adam Greenfield
Not so much about play, more about cities. Comes from user experience background of developing large-scale web sites. Cares about human experience, not devices.
"How I learned to be an urbanist": Jane Jacobs, Christopher Alexander, Bernard Rudofsky
They worried about cars, traffic, overplanning... we've killed the street without that (though not in Amsterdam where lots of this hasn't happened, as in Seoul).
"The repeating module of doom": Manhattan streets look like a background of a video-game. Walking 10 blocks along the street, you get into a cycle of the same large brand franchises/chains repeating themselves.
Cities keep you deliberately confounded in order to keep you there and spending money. Las Vegas and malls are examples of this: a persistent sense of delocation.
And the environment is actively being made hostile: stealthy, slippery, crusty, prickly and jittery. e.g. postboxes covered with spikes to stop people sitting on it; Tokyo park benches designed to be uncomfortable to sit on, impossible to sleep on, etc.
Mobile devices get us withdrawing from society, instead of engaging with it.
BUT...
Nostalgia is for suckers. How can we rediscover what it takes to make cities, again? Ubicomp is the answer! Informatic systems embedded into the environment, communicating wirelessly, imperceptible, and post-GUI.
To ambient informatics, and beyond! Information processing at different scales: body, street, etc. Nike+, RFID, etc. Urban information processing. Shinjuku lamp post which reacts to RFID contact with helpful information: infrastructure that has more agency than it used to. All this giving rise to a new model of interaction: e.g. Octopus in Hong Kong, where the entire transaction between card and reader happens in a dance choreographed by women (in particular) swinging their bags over the reader as they go through. A complex set of protocol exchanges turned into a dance.
How will the positive side of this play out?
One natural thing we do with information is visualising it. e.g. Stamen Designs' cabspotting; Paris visualised by wi-fi hot spots; and we can use these visualisations to pipe information back to people inside these places. e.g. maps of street crime made available to mobile devices.
(What are the second-order effects of a closed feedback loop like this - I avoid an area because they are areas I should avoid, so less people go there, so there's less scrutiny...)
Some of these inputs regulate the shape of buildings - e.g. living glass, with sensors that respond to CO2 levels in the room and opens windows to let in oxygen automatically; the incredible Blur Building; the carbon tower, with active lateral balancing based on inhabitants, weather and seismic conditions.
Also: addressable/scriptable objects, screens, surfaces: RFID, augmented reality, semacode/semapedia.
Upshot: a city that responds to its residents and other users (e.g. weather) in real time. "The city is the platform".
These systems will be used to reinscribe class boundaries.
The downside: overlegibility, everything is explicit and there's no room for ambiguity or plausible deniability. Everything is stated, announced, and made social: maybe we don't want our friends to know where we are all the time. Emergent behaviour: we'll have to accept the cost of this.
The upside: more efficient use of natural resources and infrastructure. e.g. letting people how long they have to cross the road before the lights change, saves lives!
New ways to use the city based on these devices. e.g. Nike+ lets Adam run in NY and compete against friends running in London and SF.
So what (whimsically) could this look like, in Amsterdam?
"Systems are for cities, and cities are for people"


Football: Bale blasted as being disrespectful in Wales flag celebration
MADRID: Winger Gareth Bale has been heavily criticised by the Spanish media for celebrating Wales' Euro 2020 qualification by holding up a flag that appeared to indicate his passion to play for Real Madrid is way down the pecking order.
Bale's decision to pose with a giant flag that read "Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order" following Wales' 2-0 victory over Hungary on Tuesday (Nov 19) that sealed them a place in next year's European championship has been lambasted in Spain.
Sports daily Marca's front page headline on Thursday declared "Disrespectful. Misguided. Ungrateful. In that order,", while AS newspaper captioned a picture of the winger playing golf with the message “Bale gets in a hole".
AS went on to say Bale’s behaviour has “annoyed the club” and that “he is becoming a problem,” before imploring new Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho to take him back to his former club.
The paper's Real Madrid editor Tomas Roncero suggested his flag for Bale would read “out, out, out”.
Many more are calling for the 30-year-old, who has fallen out of favour with Real manager Zinedine Zidane and has not featured in a club match since Oct. 5 due to injury, to be permanently axed from the team.
While football talk show presenter Josep Pedrerol implored Real president Florentino Perez to “kick Bale out”, some fans believe the flag stunt was a ploy for Bale to force his way out of the club.
He was set to leave Real for China earlier this year but the transfer fell through at the 11th hour following a change of heart from Perez, who has been Bale’s biggest ally during his time in Spain.
He was also accused of “treating Real Madrid badly,” even though he has helped the team to win four Champions League titles in six seasons with the club, scoring in two of the finals.

Ziraat Bank and The Environment
Ziraat Bank is an exemplary corporate citizen by spearheading environment-related initiatives and authoring best practices for dealing with such issues.
For the last two decades, the relationship between the environment and economic development has been one of the world’s most hotly-debated subjects. Even as the United Nations and a host of international initiatives engage in efforts to protect the environment and to combat climate change and such issues are debated at multilateral conferences, progress is slowed by claims that protecting the environment means sacrificing economic growth and development.
An essential duty incumbent on world-leading companies like Ziraat Bank is to behave like an exemplary corporate citizen by spearheading environment-related initiatives and authoring best practices for dealing with such issues. Such a role makes it necessary not only to control and minimize its own direct environmental impact but also the indirect environmental impact caused by its products and services and throughout our the value-creation chain. At the same time, Ziraat Bank regards protecting the environment and combating climate change as avenues leading to the creation of new business opportunities and to the possibility of generating added value on a variety of fronts ranging from employment to reducing the national current account deficit.
Since the early 2000s, Ziraat Bank has been involved in projects seeking to optimize its use of resources such as energy, water, natural gas, and paper in its business processes, to conserve them, and to eliminate waste. Under the Sustainability Policy that it announced in 2014, the Bank has embarked upon a process of creating a new and systematic structure for its efforts to manage direct environmental impact.

Efforts to improve natural resource consumption
Paper use and optimization projects
Paper ranks high among the most frequently-used supplies at Ziraat Bank owing to its role as a financial services provider.
Ziraat Bank’s paper procurements amounted to 2,084 tons in 2013. In order to reduce its paper consumption, Ziraat Bank adheres to an approach that focuses on taking advantage of electronic media wherever possible when processing, transmitting, viewing, and retaining (archiving) documents. Thanks to such efforts and practices, an average of 25 million sheets of A4 paper are being conserved every year.
Brief information about projects to decrease paper use at Ziraat Bank and to enhance the effectiveness of paper that is used is presented below.
Under the Sustainability Policy that it announced in 2014, the Bank has embarked upon a process of creating a new and systematic structure for its efforts to manage direct environmental impact.
Electronic-format appraisal reports
Since November 2011, all appraisal reports generated at Ziraat Bank have been requested, disseminated, and archived electronically.
Thanks to this new system, bank employees’ non-banking operational workloads and risks have been reduced and operational standards have been improved. Once issued by the system, electronic-format appraisal reports can also be stored and displayed from within the system without having to undergo any other archiving process. This system also prevents the generation of unnecessary printouts.
E-mailed customer transaction advice notes and statements
In 2013, Ziraat Bank began sending statements of all transactions performed by its Operations Center to customers by email.
Under the Centralized Bulk Statement Dispatch Project, transaction notes and statements for transactions which must be so reported as well as for those which requests are made are sent to customers by email.
Bulk bill payments
Work has begun on a project to send out electronic-format rather than paper invoices documenting communication services. Since June 2013, all telephony-related invoices are being processed through the electronic system. Considering that more than 163,000 telephone bills were handled last year alone, the savings in paper resulting from this procedure may be appreciated.
Loan account documentation
Work is in progress on a project to create virtual loan-account files to replace the physical ones that are used for loan applications. All application-related documents will be scanned into the system after which it will be possible for all involved/authorized units to display them. This project will contribute significantly towards paper-reduction efforts.
In the case of documents that the law requires be obtained from other agencies and organizations when making credit allocation decisions, efforts are currently being made to obtain these from their sources in electronic format as well. That will help such outside concerns in their own efforts to reduce paper use; for the Bank, it will increase employee motivation and customer satisfaction by speeding up processing.
In January 2013, the Bank began obtaining electronic-format documents and information required of firms taking out loans to finance investments. This also saves paper, labor, time, and space. Documentation used in performing firms’ financial analyses is also being circulated among units in electronic format.
The practice of sending out documents concerning loan applications approved by Ziraat Bank by mail or fax has been terminated. These documents are now being transmitted in electronic format along with the original application appended to them. A centralized collection system encompassing all Ziraat Bank branches became operational on 12 March 2013.
Electronic-format inspection and internal control reporting
Under a new auditing and control model that is about to be put into effect, all inspection and internal control reports will be issued in electronic format and physical documents will no longer be circulated. This project is expected to contribute significantly to paper conservation.
E-signature & Virtual Inspection Archives Project
With the E-signature & Virtual Inspection Archives Project, the Bank will take another step in the direction of a paperless office environment by replacing all “wet” signatures with electronic ones. Under this project, electronic-format inspection reports and all Board of Inspectors documentation will be stored digitally in the Virtual Inspection Archives. Eventually, digitized reports with e-signatures will also be sent in external correspondence with official agencies.
Other paper conservation activities
Ziraat Bank seeks to optimize the use of environmentally-harmful office supplies and materials.
When procuring office equipment such as printers and fax machines that require expendable supplies such as toner and drums, the Bank gives attention to the total cost of ownership, which is defined as acquisition cost plus the cost of a unit’s operating supplies over a five-year period. In this way, the Bank takes the potential environmental impact of supplies into account and purchasing decisions are made on that basis rather than on low initial cost. Preference is also given to equipment that requires less in the way of expendables over the course of its useful lifetime. By doing so, the Bank helps reduce the adverse environmental impact arising both from the supplies’ production and from their disposal as waste.
In the tendering for multifunction printers to be procured in 2013, one of the criteria was “use less toner”. In keeping with this, toner-saving software was procured to reduce toner consumption and costs. This program makes it possible to adjust the amounts of toner used by a machine according to different needs. According to the various scenarios in the feasibility study prepared for the program, the software reduces Ziraat Bank’s toner expenditures by between USD 100,000-200,000 a year.
In addition, a pixel optimization solution was purchased that achieves about a 25% saving in the amount of toner used in all printouts taken at the Bank. By lowering toner emissions, the amounts of potentially carcinogenic materials released into the environment is also reduced. Centralized toner management also reduces stock costs by automatically dispatching toner supplies to branches and units only when the currently available stock level has fallen to 20%.
Ziraat Bank intends to enter into agreements with environment ministry-licensed firms authorized to safely collect and dispose of spent toner cartridges. This procedure is expected to begin in 2014.
Waste management
Waste paper
Since 2003, Ziraat Bank has been collecting its waste paper as well as paper documents whose retention by the Bank’s units is no longer mandated by law and selling it to licensed firms for use in recycling. In this way, the Bank helps reduce the amounts of new raw materials needed in paper manufacturing while also contributing beneficially to the consumption of production factors. A total of 139 tons of waste paper generated by headquarters units was sold in this way during 2013.
IT and other scrap
Ziraat Bank sells discarded IT equipment (computers, printers, photocopiers, etc.), consisting largely of sheet metal (housings, storage batteries, and ATM units) to environment ministry-licensed firms authorized to transport and process such scrap. This prevents the scrap from causing environmental harm while also ensuring that it is recycled for use as inputs by others.
Fire extinguishers
When replacing the chemicals in fire extinguishers that have passed their expiration date, Ziraat Bank works with firms licensed to collect and dispose of such materials. By working only with duly supervised and authorized firms, the Bank ensures that the chemicals are properly eliminated without causing environmental damage.
Monitoring and reducing the environmental impact of construction projects
In the conduct of its own construction works, Ziraat Bank takes an R&D approach when considering the functionality of their plumbing, electrical components, fittings, furniture, furnishings and similar inputs and such aspects as regional and local suitability and recyclability. The Bank gives precedence to concepts whose environmental impact is potentially the least.
Making sustainability concepts intrinsic to architectural and engineering projects and identifying the results of such efforts takes time and correctly quantifying all their ramifications is possible only through long-term objective research.
During 2013, construction work was completed on 360 branch projects in which due attention was given to sustainability concepts. In the project design and application stages, precedence was given to the use of innovative, composite materials that transcended classical criteria and whose environmental impact was considered as well.
When structures are to be demolished, attention is given as early as the project-costing stage to the recovery and reuse of materials. Particular care is given to recycling natural materials. During 2013, about twenty of the Bank’s service buildings underwent controlled demolition and their materials were recovered.
In order to minimize the environmental impact of Ziraat Bank construction projects, waste generated during the conduct of work is transferred under supervision to locations designated by local municipal authorities. In all such projects, efforts are made to contribute beneficially to the environment through effective supervision that ensures that waste is properly removed from building sites.
Ziraat Bank intends to obtain LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification for the Ziraat Towers project that it is having built at the International Financial Center Complex in İstanbul’s Ataşehir district.
Enhancing value to the environment: Ziraat Bank’s new LEED-certified headquarters project
Ziraat Bank intends to obtain LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification for the Ziraat Towers project that it is having built at the International Financial Center Complex in İstanbul’s Ataşehir district. LEED is a “green building” ratings program and such certification is given only to accepted world-class best practices in building design, construction, operation, and maintenance. Among the features of the new Ziraat Bank headquarters that will qualify it for LEED certification, mention may be made of the following:
Initiatives to reduce energy use
Ziraat Bank is focused on having a sustainable IT infrastructure that uses energy efficiently.
When tendering its computer, multifunction printer, and similar IT procurements, Ziraat Bank makes energy use one of the criteria of its total cost of their ownership calculations. The Bank seeks to reduce the operating costs of such equipment over the course of its useful lifetime by procuring units that use less energy. Besides reducing the load that these units impose on the national energy grid, this approach incidentally leads to water resource conservation because 22% of the country’s electricity is generated by hydroelectric power plants.
In all IT hardware procurements, energy consumption is treated as an important parameter that informs the contract award decision. Total cost of ownership is calculated taking into account the amount of energy that a unit will use over a five-year period. This rule supports the procurement of energy-efficient IT hardware.
When hardware is to be procured, Ziraat Teknoloji, a bank-owned technology subsidiary, takes part in the preparation of technical specifications and also subjects equipment to performance tests that include electrical-efficiency measurement. Electrical efficiency is one of the specific criteria to which points are assigned during the testing process and preference is given to goods that earn suitable utilization ratings.
Instead of purchasing separate printers, photocopiers, scanners, and fax machines, preference is given to equipment that saves energy by combining all four functions in a single unit. This practice results in energy savings of up to two-thirds.
E-signatures in tenders
Ziraat Bank has begun using e-signatures in its tendering processes in order to save on time as well as on the fuel and paper that would otherwise be used by/for personnel and travel. This helps eliminate the environmental harm caused by the use of expendables in the conduct of procedures and it also permits labor and time to be used for other purposes.
Less travel through videoconferencing
Ziraat Bank possesses a huge service network that reaches every part of Turkey. Videoconferencing is used for meetings in which the Bank’s headquarters units and other units scattered all over the country must take part. This method helps reduce the incidental environmental impact caused by the Bank’s travel and transport activities.
Synergies between branches in different localities
Information and operations related to customers’ projects in different cities are handled with the support (including technical personnel) of the regional/branch units involved. This saves on fuel, time, and labor costs.
Centralized audit
Potentially risk-fraught transactions are identified by means of a variety of scenarios deployed every month by the Ziraat Bank centralized audit team. This allows necessary checks to be made through the system without any physical documentation being required. This practice saves not only paper but also time, expense, and energy.
Fuel-consumption criteria in vehicle procurements
When procuring vehicles, Ziraat Bank gives as much attention to fuel consumption as it does to other criteria. The fuel that vehicles being considered for purchase require is treated as an element of total cost of ownership while fuel economy is included as one of the criteria of tendering specifications. Besides lowering the vehicles’ environmental impact, this practice also incidentally reduces total fossil fuel consumption at the national level.
Changeover to LED illumination
Seeking to conserve energy wherever possible, Ziraat Bank is reducing its illumination costs by installing more energy-efficient LED lighting systems in its branches, signage, and ATM housings. The Bank is also minimizing its use of fluorescent lighting owing to the human and environmental health and safety issues that it poses.
Efficiency in architectural design
When designing architectural projects, resource utilization is improved through the use of natural daylight, potentially eco-harmful materials are avoided, and precedence is given to applications that will quickly pay for themselves in two years or so.
Changeover to a new WAN structure
A project, launched about a year ago to change all branch data lines to a new WAN (wide area network) structure, is slated for completion by the end of March 2014. Under this project, transfer speeds will be increased and cabling will also be simplified without the need for new hardware.
Ziraat Bank owns and operates an extensive ATM system. Studies looking into the feasibility of installing biometric systems on ATM units and their housings are currently in progress. With the completion of this project, it will also be possible to centrally monitor local ambient temperatures and energy use. By collecting and analyzing such data, energy use can be reduced by making fine-tuned adjustments.
Centralized branch inspections
Along with the introduction of the New Auditing Model at Ziraat Bank, the Centralized Inspection Project will also become operational, thereby making it possible to perform branch inspections directly from headquarters. Under this project, bank inspectors will carry out their inspections remotely without having to actually visit a branch’s physical premises. This project is expected to achieve significant savings in terms of time, cost, and energy.
Identifying risky transactions by the Inspection Scenario Team
Scenarios have been composed for use by the Inspection Scenario Team to identify transactions that are incompatible with Ziraat Bank’s corporate risk attitudes. These scenarios will enable the team’s members to spot potential risks among thousands of transactions and enable bank inspectors to focus their attentions on those. This project is intended to achieve significant savings in terms of time, cost, and energy.
Enhancing value to the environment: Ziraat Bank Data Centers Project
Ziraat Bank is restructuring its data centers in light of its current needs. The Ziraat Bank Data Centers Project has a twofold IT focus that concentrates separately on:
In the design, construction, installation, and relocation of data centers, attention is to be given to the interactions among all of these services.
The gains to be secured through this project may be summed up as follows:
In the area of renewable energy and energy efficiency investments, which have become increasingly more important in Turkey and throughout the world especially in recent years, projects are being carried out that will increase both the bank’s knowledge about such matters and its capacity.
In 2013 Ziraat Bank procured 1,724 split air conditioners equipped with high energy-efficiency inverter technology and non-ozone-depleting gas.
As things currently stand, Ziraat Bank consumes 6,570,000 kWh of electricity every year. With the renovation of the Ziraat Bank Data Centers, it is anticipated that this will fall to about the 4,226,700 kWh level, corresponding in other words to savings of about 2,343,300 kWh a year.
IT power utilization
In 2005 Ziraat Bank initiated a Green IT project with the aim of optimizing the energy use of the computers used in its branch, regional, and headquarters units.
Under a policy introduced in 2013, users are messaged notices advising them to shut down their computers. These warnings are sent out at 19:30, 21:30, and 23:30. Units will automatically shut down unless the user takes action within 60 seconds of the notification. When computers at Ziraat Bank remain idle for 10 minutes, their monitors automatically go into sleep mode in order to help conserve energy.
Other environmental-impact mitigation activities
In 2013 Ziraat Bank procured 1,724 split air conditioners equipped with high energy-efficiency inverter technology and non-ozone-depleting gas. Of these units, 212 that the Bank procured to help reduce its heating costs, comply with the Variable Refrigerant Flow/Volume (VRF/VRV) standard.
The specifications for Ziraat Bank’s procurements of cleaning materials used by its branches and units stipulate that they must be manufactured from chemicals that are not harmful to either human or environmental health. The cleaning equipment (vacuum cleaners, mops, floor polishers, etc.) and the cleaning supplies (detergents, soaps, polishes, disinfectants, etc.) used to clean service buildings are procured by outside cleaning service providers however their compliance with specifications are periodically checked by the Bank.
In line with its efforts to reduce the environmental impact of its personnel transportation services, Ziraat Bank has begun using routing software that shortens travel distances and thus saves fuel. This project, which seeks both to maximize service quality and to minimize cost, is slated for completion by the end of 2014.
Ziraat Bank focuses on efficiently managing its indirect environmental impact.
Ziraat Bank’s indirect environmental impact manifests itself in its product and service presentation processes.
Ziraat Bank supplies financial support to businesses that play a key role in combating environmental degradation and climate change, especially in the areas of renewable energy and energy efficiency. The Bank also collaborates with international financial institutions on such issues.
More detailed information about the Bank’s activities under this heading during the reporting period is given in the “Our Customers” section beginning on page 33 of this report.
Effective indirect environmental impact management through sectoral specialization
In parallel with its general strategies and sustainability policy, Ziraat Bank seeks to more effectively manage the indirect impact that its products and services have on the environment and on climate change through a new organizational structure that focuses on sectoral specialization. The Bank is currently in the process of creating units that will specialize in manufacturing, construction, agriculture, and energy project investments. This will make it possible for the Bank to keep a much closer watch on sector-specific issues such as technology, changes in the legal framework, and investment tax incentives and thus to propose potent value-creation solutions to its customers.
In the area of renewable energy and energy efficiency investments, which have become increasingly more important in Turkey and throughout the world especially in recent years, projects are being carried out that will increase both the Bank’s knowledge about such matters and its capacity to be involved in them by obtaining support from consultancies and through in-house activities in order to deal with Turkey’s growing energy needs and to encourage interest in renewable energy projects.

I wonder if you have ever done it before stayed up for a couple days without sleeping but it's amazing. It's my favorite drug. I decided I was just going to keep sleeping. A lot of the people that take the drug to avoid sleep never stayed up for days anyways. They just not sleeping and normal. Now that I know the goal is to stay awake I can basically finally get some work done now that I have some people to work with at 8am on a Tuesday night.
We went to the strip club and like Cindy was bouncing her tits all night. She ain never stop. We had some drinks and like it was cool it was like the sun was out all day but it was just pill poppin mofo's.
We were staying awake now. They ain no I ain take the pill. I just slept in secret. Hella expensive pill. Worth millions to anyone that took it in productivity. I just know that I want to dream.
Lot of things different about me. I dream every time I go to sleep so I ain taking the pill because I just so happen to want to dream. A lot of people never have dreams so they ain got nothing to lose.
I like sleeping. I gotta bed for a reason. I get that it's harmless. They sell it as a remedy sort of like a pill that can bring you as close to immortal life as you will ever get. People been taking the pill for years now and some people got rid of their bedrooms.
So where they fuck?
Hotel's shutting down. People just driving all night. It's enough to make your wonder if anyone is really in charge. Are we evolving or just doin shit?
Some people starting to behave differently. There just enough people that they don't really notice. People that sleep the few of us left notice the change.
I ain trying to join no tribe. People that just roll together for weeks. They trying to sell it now as a bonding agent in society like with ads like never be tired again and like gain a whole new week within your week.
It's crazy. I think I'm like the only person left in my city that don't take it or at least that's how it feels. Bosses have employees working over time plus over time and like people working a lot more on it with bosses requiring employees to take it. I live on social security and have Bipolar Disorder my doctor legit told me it wouldn't be a good idea for me.
The next doctor I had told me it would be. I listened to the first doctor because he been my doctor for 10 years. He just retired is all. This new guy.
It's like the biggest change I notice in people is that they ain doing much else. Bars staying open 24/7 and people just spending three days at the same bar spending their money they earned from their last 4 day's paychecks.
I know this one guy that straight sold his house because of that pill.  I don't need want or desire that 1/3rd anymore.  Like people deciding they just gonna take 8 hour walks. Even during cold spells in winter people be spending their time in bars like bars like new homes.  Like it's just a different world.
Like how long does it take to travel to a new planet and start a new civilization? I saw our planet at least the US start a whole new society dedicated to not sleeping. I really don't think they thought this all out. I dream. I ain never going to stop dreaming. I just know a lot of people that did.
