<p style="text-align: center; ; overflow: hidden; color: #999999;">Find Homes &amp; More at Homes.org</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">(PRWEB) February 18, 2012 </p>
<p> The Homes.org weekly mortgage rate report shows that interest rates fell this week, which wasn&#8217;t what many analysts were expecting. The decrease of four basis points brings mortgage rates down to new record lows. Traditionally, when the economy improves, which this week&#8217;s economic reports continue to suggest, interest rates will rise. But the Fed&#8217;s actions to keep base rates at near zero and uncertainty in Greece, which is affecting the Eurozone&#8217;s economy, are helping to suppress rising mortgage interest rates.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Current interest rates are:</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>          4.10% &#8211; average rate for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage&#13;<br />
<br />          3.35% &#8211; average rate for a 15-year fixed rate mortgage</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>This week there are a number of economic reports coming out that may have an effect on interest rates. The reports include: &#13;<br />
</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
     Tuesday &#8211; January Retail Sales report&#13;<br />
     Thursday &#8211; Producer Price Index&#13;<br />
     Thursday &#8211; Consumer Price Index&#13;<br />
     Thursday &#8211; Jobless Claims report&#13;<br />
     Thursday &#8211; New Housing Starts report and the Jobs report&#13;<br />
     Friday &#8211; Consumer Sentiment report for the first week of February
<p>The economic reports started off well for the U.S. economy this week with the January Retail Sales report showing a gain of 0.4%. Auto sales fell but spending was up in other areas including home and garden supplies. The Producer Price Index also showed very modest improvements going up by only .01%. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The bigger economic news was the unexpected drop in jobless benefit claims last week which was at its lowest level in four years. There were 13,000 less claims, that&#8217;s below even the lowest economist expectations and further suggests that the jobs situation is improving in the U.S.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The other report that will have the biggest impact on the housing market is the Housing Starts report. The report showed a 1.5% increase in housing starts in the month of January. Building permits were also up from the previous period.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Homes.org is forecasting that given the better than expected economic reports this week and the already record low mortgage interest rates, we&#8217;re likely to see a slight increase next week.</p>

<p style="text-align: center; ; overflow: hidden; color: #999999;">Medical industry entrepreneur Michael Perry has been named to the Perminova Board of Advisors</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">La Jolla, CA (PRWEB) February 16, 2012 </p>
<p> Perminova, developer of web-based software for the nation’s leading cardiology centers, announced that Michael K. Perry has joined the Perminova Board of Advisors.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>With over 25 years of leadership experience in the medical technology industry, Perry is currently Chief Executive Officer and Director of CRISI Medical Systems, a San Diego-based medical technology company that develops innovative medication management products designed to make the delivery of intravenous drugs safer, more accurate and more cost-effective.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“Mike is a very innovative entrepreneur in medical technology industries, with particular insight in the field of cardiology,” said Perminova President and CEO Craig Collins. “His experiences in leading companies from start-up to success will provide invaluable help to Perminova as a high-growth technology company.”</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>From 1998 to 2009, Perry was CEO and Director of CardioDynamics, the innovator of a new measurement technology to noninvasively access a patient’s cardiac performance. Perry successfully built the public company from zero revenue to a $  41 million profitable business before it was sold to SonoSite, Inc. In 2003, Perry was named San Diego Entrepreneur of the Year for Medical Products and Technology. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Prior to CardioDynamics, he was Vice President of Operations and Vice President for Research and Development at Pyxis Corporation. Pyxis Corporation was a pioneer of healthcare automation and information management services, in addition to pharmacy management services to hospitals and outpatient facilities. Perry was part of the executive team that successfully acquired and integrated three businesses into Pyxis, and in 1996 sold the company to Cardinal Health, Inc. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Before joining Pyxis, Perry served in several management assignments with Hewlett-Packard’s Medical Products Group in manufacturing and finance.  Additionally, he was Director of Quality for a division of Hewlett-Packard’s DeskJet Printer Group. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Perry holds an MBA from Harvard University and a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from General Motors Institute. Perry serves as an Executive Committee member of the Advisory Board of the UC San Diego Cardiovascular Center.  He and his wife, Karilyn, are among the founding families of Pacific Ridge School, an independent school in Carlsbad, California.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>

                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 14, 2012 </p>
<p> Because the volume and volatility of the commodity markets drive the Commodity Dealing and Brokerage industry, it has been on a roller-coaster ride since 2005. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Doug Kelley, the industry has experienced three distinct phases over the period: booming growth that led many commodities to hit historical highs, a crash in late 2008 as a result of the recession and beginnings of recovery. Despite the volatility, industry revenue is expected to increase 4.0% annually to $  17.5 billion over the five years to 2012, including a projected 5.4% increase in 2012. This positive growth clearly masks the volatility this industry has been through. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Regardless of bull or bear markets, the Commodity Dealing and Brokerage industry has received a boost from the increased use of commodities. Traditionally used as a hedge against inflation and future risk, commodities have become a valuable diversification tool. Use of commodities has also increased because of strong returns generated by speculators. &#8220;These strong returns and diversification benefits have led to a rise in the use of commodities in pension funds and hedge funds,&#8221; Kelley says. In the five years to 2017, the industry will experience strong growth. Shaky investor confidence combined with low interest rates will stoke inflationary fears, which will increase commodity-trading activity. Also, regulation will help the industry through 2017. Improved transparency and the use of central clearing will shore up the industry&#8217;s position as a respectable branch of the financial services market.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Industry concentration in the Commodity Dealing and Brokerage industry is at a medium level, with the top four firms holding almost half of the market share of industry revenue. Falling commission prices and technology changes partly drive industry consolidation, which allows trade execution to take place without a broker. This gives an advantage to larger brokers that offer a range of value-added services, such as clearing and research. Industry consolidation is expected to increase in the coming years as smaller firms find it more difficult to compete with Wall Street and Chicago giants in technology, broker talent and client acquisition. Expect JP Morgan Chase &amp; Co., Morgan Stanley, Bank of America Corporation and The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. -– the top players in this industry – to increase their market share directly through acquisitions and indirectly through other firms that reduce or exit their commodities activities.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">You are planning to build a house in the near future? Not a few people who suddenly feel &#8216;dizzy&#8217; when they wanted to build a house. It was, so many things piled fill the contents of the head. From about the funding, design architecture, builders, building materials prices are skyrocketing, up to minor matters such as choosing the tile motif.</p>
<p>So as not to freak out like that, then you need to do a proper preparation. The main thing you need to set up a fund. Amount of funds that you have will determine everything. Starting from design, materials used, to knick-perniknya. Funding issues become increasingly important because the current prices of various types of building materials continues to climb. The increase in fuel prices (fuel oil) have indeed made the price of cement, sand, wood and other building materials skyrocketed.</p>
<p>Skyrocketing price of construction materials, make the people who will build the house, must be smart design strategies. If there are not enough funds to purchase first-class materials, usually people will choose quality material second. It&#8217;s okay to do. Only, if the material quality is lowered, then the durability of houses built would not have lasted long. When choosing material or third-grade class, a year may have been damaged. Then, should minimize the area of ​​the house, when funds are limited? I suggest, an area of ​​the house should not be reduced. &#8220;Home stay is for a lifetime, so do not dikecil-kecilin ..&#8221;</p>
<p>The most effective strategy to tackle the problem, is to build a home in stages. example, if a house be built its range to 200 meters, then at the first stage area of ​​the house that was built about 150 meters. That way, the quality of materials used can be fixed in accordance with the wishes.</p>
<p>ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN</p>
<p>Architectural design of the house will always change with the development of a dynamic culture. The development of technology and the economy has changed the concept of human thought.</p>
<p>When choosing the architectural design of houses you should not follow the trend of being loved by the people, because it could be the home design trends that you choose is not in harmony with the character of the inhabitants. After all, design trends do not last long and will continue to change, a smart suggestion for those of you who are planning to make the home is: try to not choose designers that selfish. &#8220;The design of the house must be in accordance with the tastes of consumers. For homes to be built will be occupied by the consumer.</p>
<p>Choose a home design that displays the beauty in the (inner beauty) of the building, the space created as needed, spatial flow, simple and functional interior. The house is in harmony with the character of the inhabitants, tropical climatic conditions, socio-cultural, and environment.</p>
<p>Fig 1 &#8211; Tropical Modern Design</p>
<p>Modern Tropical</p>
<p>Tropical modern architecture is the development of traditional architecture with the addition and adjustment of modern society. Tropical modern architecture has distinctive aesthetic value of building a modern tropical (tropical eco-friendly, according to present), model building has eternity in terms of both design and art, as well as correct in terms of functionality, requirements, climate, and environment.</p>
<p>Ability to accommodate building add to the tropical climate of the state of occupant comfort and energy-efficient homes. Tropical modern house comes as a hospitable home, look attractive design, and responsive to the tropical climate. Living in the tropics tropical eco-friendly home requires a hot and humid, and rainy and summer seasons alternate throughout the year. The house was designed by considering and optimally utilize the natural resources of light and air into the house.</p>
<p>Every room in the house lit by natural light all day pouring through wide door openings and window vents (ventilation) around the building, as well as in some corner of a roof skylight ceiling. Room was bright and fresh throughout the day (morning-afternoon).</p>
<p>Cross circulation of fresh air to flow smoothly into the ceiling and the roof is quite high (2.5 to 3 meters) to create the space feel fresh, not stuffy or humid, and minimize the use of a fan or air conditioner.</p>
<p>The house is not only a place to shelter from sun or rain, but home is where the socialization process for a human being with family. Wide eaves provide shade terraces, buildings, and solve the problem of water spatters of rain. Under the eaves where the rain fall created a dry garden with elongated linear coral surface that allows infiltration of water, while eliminating the guttering is often blocked or leaking. When it rains, the walls and floors are not muddy and slippery, clean wall of water splashing mud.</p>
<p>Openness and relations between the liquid chamber to the circulation space seemed to flow from front to back to the top. Joint space is provided as a mixing of various multifunctional activities, such as living room and family room, living room, dining room and kitchen, living room and study together.</p>
<p>Excess tropical modern house accommodating to the tropical climate make the house feel more alive and warm. The combination of architectural wisdom (traditional) tropical, meeting the needs of modern life, as well as modern materials (concrete, steel, glass, fiberglass) and natural materials (wood, stone, brick, terracotta).</p>
<p>Processing of local materials (stone, brick, terrazzo, coral, wood, coconut, bamboo, water hyacinth, banana) with creative and appropriate to the building of long-lived, low maintenance and add value to the overall building exotic tropical. Interwoven advances in technology industries (precision, cold) and the culture of craftsmen (natural, warm) making homes warmer and more the impression of giving the building a strong character.</p>
<p>Manufacture and distribution of void void proper and equitable in tropical climatic maintain the smooth functioning of air circulation and natural light into the house. The top of the pergola has a useful void filter sunlight and the intensity of light katalitas changing, and spatters of rain water on all four sides of the building wall.</p>
<p>Sensitivity of tropical modern architecture encourages the building open to the outside space as a whole are balanced. In space, terrace and garden as a whole expansion of space. That is, activities that take place in space continues to be drawn into the patio next to the park, such as the function of the dining room while having a family party.</p>
<p>The presence of the park adds to the value of the building. Ecological value is very thick. Modern tropical gardens emphasize the use of fewer types of plants (grass or other pengalas plant, 1-3 tree, bamboo barrier), giving the effect of a strong green, coral and 2-3 stretch of water wells (ground water absorbing power increase), as well as easy maintenance.</p>
<p>The completion of wall plaster and cement floors, exposed concrete, wood doors and windows exposed plain with or without frames, saving the cost of construction, but is able to display the beauty of the building. The wall is covered with plants to reduce noise, absorb gaseous pollutants, resist solar radiation, and cool temperature in the room.</p>
<p>Limited land and the consequences of land up to encourage development of grass roofs replace conventional roofs. The presence of trees serves to filter the sun coming over (to reduce heat in the building, preserve the paint), create shade and shadow effects on the walls and floors.</p>
<p>Gb.2 Modern Minimalist Design</p>
<p>Modern Minimalist</p>
<p>Urban lifestyle that tends to be practical and efficient home designs minimalist base is still much in demand. Various forms of building houses, stores, hotels, apartments to take the form of minimalism as consumer appeal.</p>
<p>Form follows function. Minimalist house comes with more pronounced character (shapes and geometric space, simple), better (solid), and more strongly with the empty spaces (little ornaments and furniture). Minimum of the goal as well as ornament itself is simple and pure. Straight line, a plane smooth rough sometimes, and meeting areas of the elbow perpendicular. Blocking mass, materials, lighting, repetition, circulation compact, multifunctional space optimization and sequential.</p>
<p>Efficient use of materials, practical, lightweight but sturdy, and high-tech. Plain or textured exposed concrete on the walls of the house, wide glass windows a little, or no connection. Order the building of concrete to steel. The roof of clay tiles, shingles, to steel plates. Ladder and ropes flew from plate steel, lightweight concrete, folding up the stairs.</p>
<p>Plain wood with no ornamentation, just a polished or painted, still widely used for frames and doors and windows. Sills of durable aluminum that also are now the norm. Textured concrete fence, wall betel leaf (cut stone be nested), until the hedges soften the building stiffness.</p>
<p>Homes with a minimalist design emphasizes design features simple, plain, simple, uncomplicated, compact, and space efficiency. Minimalist impression only the essential functions of the house will be retained. Creativity and innovation of technological development make a minimalist home will continue to grow more compact, stylish, and practical, and remains a favorite choice of the new symbol of urban society</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">annahape.com. The roof is the crown home. The roof of the house can make a different facade. Maybe it&#8217;s time you house roof replaced. The problem that often occurs: the wood is porous and leaking here and there.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Instead of wood, you might want to replace it with a lightweight steel roof. Roof load will become lighter if you also choose to use a metal roof. In tip 49 I have submitted two basic forms of the roof are commonly known. Ie gable and roof shield.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As long as you are renovating the roof, or even to build a house, no roof design as well salahya enhance your home.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Many homes use a simple gable form. In addition to cost less, well designed it is simpler. Simple does not mean cheap. At this time the tip I will give examples of how to develop form gable. .</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A. Standard form: Symmetric saddle roof<br />
The basic shape of the gable is symmetrical. The length of the left and right sides of the same. Angle of both the sexes. The safest slope angle is 28-30 degrees. In tropical climates with high rainfall, the sloping roof will be better. See the following figure.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2. Development of A: a-symmetrical saddle roof<br />
Symmetrical gable forms may be boring. If so, you can make it is not symmetrical. Namely the length of the left and right sides are different. Similarly, the corners are not the same.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">3. Development B: Roofing Saddlery Terraced / Rhythmic<br />
Development of the roof model is suitable for building extending to the side. In the example below houses quite extreme width and consists of a garage, room service, dining room, living room and two rooms on the right side. Forms the roof of the house of this kind should indeed vary, so do not look boring. The most high should be placed in the living room / family room. The goal is that the house feels spacious.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">4. Development of C: Roofing Saddlery Torn<br />
Development of a more complicated is to divide the roof and gives the distance between the two parts. The middle section was given no / flat roof. In this way the house will look more classy and majestic. Angle of the roof, will add to its glory. The example below is the application of roof split in two-storey tropical home. Type of roof can also be developed into a roof and a symmetrical split-symmetrical.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The whole design of the above example is merely a preliminary sketch Annahape&#8217;s Studio, still required further development and calculation before a sketch is acceptable. But hopefully the above gives an overview of this inspirasi.Tulisan be distributed with permission. And when copypaste in blog / your website please include the source.</p>

<p style="text-align: center; ; overflow: hidden; color: #999999;">Find Homes &amp; More at Homes.org</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">(PRWEB) February 18, 2012 </p>
<p> The Homes.org weekly mortgage rate report shows that interest rates fell this week, which wasn&#8217;t what many analysts were expecting. The decrease of four basis points brings mortgage rates down to new record lows. Traditionally, when the economy improves, which this week&#8217;s economic reports continue to suggest, interest rates will rise. But the Fed&#8217;s actions to keep base rates at near zero and uncertainty in Greece, which is affecting the Eurozone&#8217;s economy, are helping to suppress rising mortgage interest rates.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Current interest rates are:</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>          4.10% &#8211; average rate for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage&#13;<br />
<br />          3.35% &#8211; average rate for a 15-year fixed rate mortgage</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>This week there are a number of economic reports coming out that may have an effect on interest rates. The reports include: &#13;<br />
</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
     Tuesday &#8211; January Retail Sales report&#13;<br />
     Thursday &#8211; Producer Price Index&#13;<br />
     Thursday &#8211; Consumer Price Index&#13;<br />
     Thursday &#8211; Jobless Claims report&#13;<br />
     Thursday &#8211; New Housing Starts report and the Jobs report&#13;<br />
     Friday &#8211; Consumer Sentiment report for the first week of February
<p>The economic reports started off well for the U.S. economy this week with the January Retail Sales report showing a gain of 0.4%. Auto sales fell but spending was up in other areas including home and garden supplies. The Producer Price Index also showed very modest improvements going up by only .01%. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The bigger economic news was the unexpected drop in jobless benefit claims last week which was at its lowest level in four years. There were 13,000 less claims, that&#8217;s below even the lowest economist expectations and further suggests that the jobs situation is improving in the U.S.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The other report that will have the biggest impact on the housing market is the Housing Starts report. The report showed a 1.5% increase in housing starts in the month of January. Building permits were also up from the previous period.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Homes.org is forecasting that given the better than expected economic reports this week and the already record low mortgage interest rates, we&#8217;re likely to see a slight increase next week.</p>

<p style="text-align: center; ; overflow: hidden; color: #999999;">Medical industry entrepreneur Michael Perry has been named to the Perminova Board of Advisors</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">La Jolla, CA (PRWEB) February 16, 2012 </p>
<p> Perminova, developer of web-based software for the nation’s leading cardiology centers, announced that Michael K. Perry has joined the Perminova Board of Advisors.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>With over 25 years of leadership experience in the medical technology industry, Perry is currently Chief Executive Officer and Director of CRISI Medical Systems, a San Diego-based medical technology company that develops innovative medication management products designed to make the delivery of intravenous drugs safer, more accurate and more cost-effective.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“Mike is a very innovative entrepreneur in medical technology industries, with particular insight in the field of cardiology,” said Perminova President and CEO Craig Collins. “His experiences in leading companies from start-up to success will provide invaluable help to Perminova as a high-growth technology company.”</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>From 1998 to 2009, Perry was CEO and Director of CardioDynamics, the innovator of a new measurement technology to noninvasively access a patient’s cardiac performance. Perry successfully built the public company from zero revenue to a $  41 million profitable business before it was sold to SonoSite, Inc. In 2003, Perry was named San Diego Entrepreneur of the Year for Medical Products and Technology. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Prior to CardioDynamics, he was Vice President of Operations and Vice President for Research and Development at Pyxis Corporation. Pyxis Corporation was a pioneer of healthcare automation and information management services, in addition to pharmacy management services to hospitals and outpatient facilities. Perry was part of the executive team that successfully acquired and integrated three businesses into Pyxis, and in 1996 sold the company to Cardinal Health, Inc. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Before joining Pyxis, Perry served in several management assignments with Hewlett-Packard’s Medical Products Group in manufacturing and finance.  Additionally, he was Director of Quality for a division of Hewlett-Packard’s DeskJet Printer Group. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Perry holds an MBA from Harvard University and a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from General Motors Institute. Perry serves as an Executive Committee member of the Advisory Board of the UC San Diego Cardiovascular Center.  He and his wife, Karilyn, are among the founding families of Pacific Ridge School, an independent school in Carlsbad, California.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>

<p class="releaseDateline">Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 14, 2012 </p>
<p> Because the volume and volatility of the commodity markets drive the Commodity Dealing and Brokerage industry, it has been on a roller-coaster ride since 2005. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Doug Kelley, the industry has experienced three distinct phases over the period: booming growth that led many commodities to hit historical highs, a crash in late 2008 as a result of the recession and beginnings of recovery. Despite the volatility, industry revenue is expected to increase 4.0% annually to $  17.5 billion over the five years to 2012, including a projected 5.4% increase in 2012. This positive growth clearly masks the volatility this industry has been through. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Regardless of bull or bear markets, the Commodity Dealing and Brokerage industry has received a boost from the increased use of commodities. Traditionally used as a hedge against inflation and future risk, commodities have become a valuable diversification tool. Use of commodities has also increased because of strong returns generated by speculators. &#8220;These strong returns and diversification benefits have led to a rise in the use of commodities in pension funds and hedge funds,&#8221; Kelley says. In the five years to 2017, the industry will experience strong growth. Shaky investor confidence combined with low interest rates will stoke inflationary fears, which will increase commodity-trading activity. Also, regulation will help the industry through 2017. Improved transparency and the use of central clearing will shore up the industry&#8217;s position as a respectable branch of the financial services market.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Industry concentration in the Commodity Dealing and Brokerage industry is at a medium level, with the top four firms holding almost half of the market share of industry revenue. Falling commission prices and technology changes partly drive industry consolidation, which allows trade execution to take place without a broker. This gives an advantage to larger brokers that offer a range of value-added services, such as clearing and research. Industry consolidation is expected to increase in the coming years as smaller firms find it more difficult to compete with Wall Street and Chicago giants in technology, broker talent and client acquisition. Expect JP Morgan Chase &amp; Co., Morgan Stanley, Bank of America Corporation and The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. -– the top players in this industry – to increase their market share directly through acquisitions and indirectly through other firms that reduce or exit their commodities activities.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">You are planning to build a house in the near future? Not a few people who suddenly feel &#8216;dizzy&#8217; when they wanted to build a house. It was, so many things piled fill the contents of the head. From about the funding, design architecture, builders, building materials prices are skyrocketing, up to minor matters such as choosing the tile motif.</p>
<p>So as not to freak out like that, then you need to do a proper preparation. The main thing you need to set up a fund. Amount of funds that you have will determine everything. Starting from design, materials used, to knick-perniknya. Funding issues become increasingly important because the current prices of various types of building materials continues to climb. The increase in fuel prices (fuel oil) have indeed made the price of cement, sand, wood and other building materials skyrocketed.</p>
<p>Skyrocketing price of construction materials, make the people who will build the house, must be smart design strategies. If there are not enough funds to purchase first-class materials, usually people will choose quality material second. It&#8217;s okay to do. Only, if the material quality is lowered, then the durability of houses built would not have lasted long. When choosing material or third-grade class, a year may have been damaged. Then, should minimize the area of ​​the house, when funds are limited? I suggest, an area of ​​the house should not be reduced. &#8220;Home stay is for a lifetime, so do not dikecil-kecilin ..&#8221;</p>
<p>The most effective strategy to tackle the problem, is to build a home in stages. example, if a house be built its range to 200 meters, then at the first stage area of ​​the house that was built about 150 meters. That way, the quality of materials used can be fixed in accordance with the wishes.</p>
<p>ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN</p>
<p>Architectural design of the house will always change with the development of a dynamic culture. The development of technology and the economy has changed the concept of human thought.</p>
<p>When choosing the architectural design of houses you should not follow the trend of being loved by the people, because it could be the home design trends that you choose is not in harmony with the character of the inhabitants. After all, design trends do not last long and will continue to change, a smart suggestion for those of you who are planning to make the home is: try to not choose designers that selfish. &#8220;The design of the house must be in accordance with the tastes of consumers. For homes to be built will be occupied by the consumer.</p>
<p>Choose a home design that displays the beauty in the (inner beauty) of the building, the space created as needed, spatial flow, simple and functional interior. The house is in harmony with the character of the inhabitants, tropical climatic conditions, socio-cultural, and environment.</p>
<p>Fig 1 &#8211; Tropical Modern Design</p>
<p>Modern Tropical</p>
<p>Tropical modern architecture is the development of traditional architecture with the addition and adjustment of modern society. Tropical modern architecture has distinctive aesthetic value of building a modern tropical (tropical eco-friendly, according to present), model building has eternity in terms of both design and art, as well as correct in terms of functionality, requirements, climate, and environment.</p>
<p>Ability to accommodate building add to the tropical climate of the state of occupant comfort and energy-efficient homes. Tropical modern house comes as a hospitable home, look attractive design, and responsive to the tropical climate. Living in the tropics tropical eco-friendly home requires a hot and humid, and rainy and summer seasons alternate throughout the year. The house was designed by considering and optimally utilize the natural resources of light and air into the house.</p>
<p>Every room in the house lit by natural light all day pouring through wide door openings and window vents (ventilation) around the building, as well as in some corner of a roof skylight ceiling. Room was bright and fresh throughout the day (morning-afternoon).</p>
<p>Cross circulation of fresh air to flow smoothly into the ceiling and the roof is quite high (2.5 to 3 meters) to create the space feel fresh, not stuffy or humid, and minimize the use of a fan or air conditioner.</p>
<p>The house is not only a place to shelter from sun or rain, but home is where the socialization process for a human being with family. Wide eaves provide shade terraces, buildings, and solve the problem of water spatters of rain. Under the eaves where the rain fall created a dry garden with elongated linear coral surface that allows infiltration of water, while eliminating the guttering is often blocked or leaking. When it rains, the walls and floors are not muddy and slippery, clean wall of water splashing mud.</p>
<p>Openness and relations between the liquid chamber to the circulation space seemed to flow from front to back to the top. Joint space is provided as a mixing of various multifunctional activities, such as living room and family room, living room, dining room and kitchen, living room and study together.</p>
<p>Excess tropical modern house accommodating to the tropical climate make the house feel more alive and warm. The combination of architectural wisdom (traditional) tropical, meeting the needs of modern life, as well as modern materials (concrete, steel, glass, fiberglass) and natural materials (wood, stone, brick, terracotta).</p>
<p>Processing of local materials (stone, brick, terrazzo, coral, wood, coconut, bamboo, water hyacinth, banana) with creative and appropriate to the building of long-lived, low maintenance and add value to the overall building exotic tropical. Interwoven advances in technology industries (precision, cold) and the culture of craftsmen (natural, warm) making homes warmer and more the impression of giving the building a strong character.</p>
<p>Manufacture and distribution of void void proper and equitable in tropical climatic maintain the smooth functioning of air circulation and natural light into the house. The top of the pergola has a useful void filter sunlight and the intensity of light katalitas changing, and spatters of rain water on all four sides of the building wall.</p>
<p>Sensitivity of tropical modern architecture encourages the building open to the outside space as a whole are balanced. In space, terrace and garden as a whole expansion of space. That is, activities that take place in space continues to be drawn into the patio next to the park, such as the function of the dining room while having a family party.</p>
<p>The presence of the park adds to the value of the building. Ecological value is very thick. Modern tropical gardens emphasize the use of fewer types of plants (grass or other pengalas plant, 1-3 tree, bamboo barrier), giving the effect of a strong green, coral and 2-3 stretch of water wells (ground water absorbing power increase), as well as easy maintenance.</p>
<p>The completion of wall plaster and cement floors, exposed concrete, wood doors and windows exposed plain with or without frames, saving the cost of construction, but is able to display the beauty of the building. The wall is covered with plants to reduce noise, absorb gaseous pollutants, resist solar radiation, and cool temperature in the room.</p>
<p>Limited land and the consequences of land up to encourage development of grass roofs replace conventional roofs. The presence of trees serves to filter the sun coming over (to reduce heat in the building, preserve the paint), create shade and shadow effects on the walls and floors.</p>
<p>Gb.2 Modern Minimalist Design</p>
<p>Modern Minimalist</p>
<p>Urban lifestyle that tends to be practical and efficient home designs minimalist base is still much in demand. Various forms of building houses, stores, hotels, apartments to take the form of minimalism as consumer appeal.</p>
<p>Form follows function. Minimalist house comes with more pronounced character (shapes and geometric space, simple), better (solid), and more strongly with the empty spaces (little ornaments and furniture). Minimum of the goal as well as ornament itself is simple and pure. Straight line, a plane smooth rough sometimes, and meeting areas of the elbow perpendicular. Blocking mass, materials, lighting, repetition, circulation compact, multifunctional space optimization and sequential.</p>
<p>Efficient use of materials, practical, lightweight but sturdy, and high-tech. Plain or textured exposed concrete on the walls of the house, wide glass windows a little, or no connection. Order the building of concrete to steel. The roof of clay tiles, shingles, to steel plates. Ladder and ropes flew from plate steel, lightweight concrete, folding up the stairs.</p>
<p>Plain wood with no ornamentation, just a polished or painted, still widely used for frames and doors and windows. Sills of durable aluminum that also are now the norm. Textured concrete fence, wall betel leaf (cut stone be nested), until the hedges soften the building stiffness.</p>
<p>Homes with a minimalist design emphasizes design features simple, plain, simple, uncomplicated, compact, and space efficiency. Minimalist impression only the essential functions of the house will be retained. Creativity and innovation of technological development make a minimalist home will continue to grow more compact, stylish, and practical, and remains a favorite choice of the new symbol of urban society</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">annahape.com. The roof is the crown home. The roof of the house can make a different facade. Maybe it&#8217;s time you house roof replaced. The problem that often occurs: the wood is porous and leaking here and there.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Instead of wood, you might want to replace it with a lightweight steel roof. Roof load will become lighter if you also choose to use a metal roof. In tip 49 I have submitted two basic forms of the roof are commonly known. Ie gable and roof shield.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As long as you are renovating the roof, or even to build a house, no roof design as well salahya enhance your home.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Many homes use a simple gable form. In addition to cost less, well designed it is simpler. Simple does not mean cheap. At this time the tip I will give examples of how to develop form gable. .</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A. Standard form: Symmetric saddle roof<br />
The basic shape of the gable is symmetrical. The length of the left and right sides of the same. Angle of both the sexes. The safest slope angle is 28-30 degrees. In tropical climates with high rainfall, the sloping roof will be better. See the following figure.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2. Development of A: a-symmetrical saddle roof<br />
Symmetrical gable forms may be boring. If so, you can make it is not symmetrical. Namely the length of the left and right sides are different. Similarly, the corners are not the same.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">3. Development B: Roofing Saddlery Terraced / Rhythmic<br />
Development of the roof model is suitable for building extending to the side. In the example below houses quite extreme width and consists of a garage, room service, dining room, living room and two rooms on the right side. Forms the roof of the house of this kind should indeed vary, so do not look boring. The most high should be placed in the living room / family room. The goal is that the house feels spacious.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">4. Development of C: Roofing Saddlery Torn<br />
Development of a more complicated is to divide the roof and gives the distance between the two parts. The middle section was given no / flat roof. In this way the house will look more classy and majestic. Angle of the roof, will add to its glory. The example below is the application of roof split in two-storey tropical home. Type of roof can also be developed into a roof and a symmetrical split-symmetrical.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The whole design of the above example is merely a preliminary sketch Annahape&#8217;s Studio, still required further development and calculation before a sketch is acceptable. But hopefully the above gives an overview of this inspirasi.Tulisan be distributed with permission. And when copypaste in blog / your website please include the source.</p>

<p class="releaseDateline">San Clemente, CA (PRWEB) February 09, 2012 </p>
<p> gen-E, a global IT process automation (ITPA) software company, today announced it has changed its company name from generation-E Technologies to gen-E  as part of a new worldwide branding strategy built around its award-winning Resolve Social™ ITPA software. In addition, the company has also launched an entirely re-designed website, which is now live at http://www.gen-e.com.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Formed in 2000 as a global systems integrator, gen-E is marking its transition to a software-focused business model as adoption of Resolve has grown exponentially over the past few years. Leading global financial services and transportation firms as well as communications service providers and other companies make use of Resolve, which was first launched in 2009. The software maximizes efficiency and quality of service, breaking down traditional organizational and process constraints by combining innovative automation techniques with actionable and dynamic knowledge management capabilities.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“The primary message we want to convey about our Resolve software is that it empowers human ingenuity through automation and collaboration, and we want that message to be at the forefront of our interactions with customers and partners,” said Payal Kindiger, executive vice president, marketing and managed services for gen-E. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“By modifying the company name, we’re bridging the gap between our past and our future yet also demonstrating that we’re serious about making our global software business a top priority for 2012 and beyond,” Kindiger added.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>New Branding Comes on Heels of Record Year in 2011&#13;<br />
<br />The move to a software-focused business model comes on the heels of record year-over-year results for gen-E in 2011 including a 100 percent growth in profit, 40 percent increase in revenue and 66 percent  increase in headcount.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In 2012, the company plans to fuel further growth through a new Worldwide Channel Partner Program. With the addition of global partners across North America, Europe, Australia, South America and Southeast Asia, gen-E anticipates making further inroads into markets such as utilities, finance and telecommunications.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“Between our direct and indirect channel sales initiatives, we’ll have solutions for all industries,” said Casey Kindiger, CEO of gen-E. “Our goal will be to double our software revenue in 2012 and continue to make waves as we develop and release packaged ITPA solutions that drive innovation and improve time-to-resolution for our customers across network operations, customer care, service desk, cloud, provisioning and other key business services.“</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Office Expansion Occurs as gen-E Extends Its Reach&#13;<br />
<br />In December 2011, gen-E opened a new office in Frisco, Texas to accommodate growth and better serve its existing customer base throughout the region including companies such as Consolidated Communications, a leading communication service provider. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In 2011, gen-E also doubled its office space at its world headquarters in San Clemente, Calif., where staff increases have occurred primarily in the areas of business development, sales and product development.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“It’s an exciting time in our growth,  and our team is working hard on a global scale to ensure there are more good things in store for gen-E in 2012,” said Casey Kindiger.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Society is a fertile field for manufacturers in marketing their products, manufacturers create an opinion that makes consumers are motivated to use their products. Like for example in defining beauty. For manufacturers of beauty are the colors of their paints, but the colors are also beautiful natural materials.</p>
<p>In Indonesia, many people spend a large cost to paint the outside and inside their homes, whereas in Europe, many uga house neat plaster to expose or expose the brick and the house they still look beautiful. In making our homes are free to define beauty in the version of each of us. With more creative we can manyajikan beauty without having to use products which campaigned by the manufacturer.</p>
<p>I try to summarize some of the things that can be used as inspiration in creating a good home with an economic cost as follows:</p>
<p>The main function of the plan would you place in your home<br />
adjust the layout of the spaces so there is no corridor<br />
try ratio between the width of the house does not exceed 2 versus 3<br />
try to measure the length and width of the space is a multiple of 60 cm<br />
try a height not exceeding 2.8 m space<br />
Do not create a window that is too wide<br />
choose building materials that are most readily available materials your location (eg, do not make a house with steel materials in Africa or not to make a wooden house at the jakarta)<br />
use materials that are environmentally friendly building materials and energy-efficient manufacturing</p>
<p>do not be swayed by the propaganda made ​​by the manufacturer (for example, is home to a beautiful home in the paint, but the bricks are fitted with beautifully neat also) be creative</p>
