"Zero-Carbon World" Preview Green East Kowloon 「零碳天地」預覽綠色東九龍

(Sing Tao Daily reported) Kowloon East project launched by the government, aiming at Kowloon East, including Kwun Tong, Kowloon Bay area activated into a new business district, to promote the greening of a number of environmental work in the area of Kowloon East. One of the project, "Zero-Carbon World", with advanced green building design as selling points, is a small pilot to be big inspiration for the future development of regional environmental direction.

Zero Carbon World has made ​​Hong Kong Green Building Award and the initial assessment for the highest certification level of green building environmental assessment of BEAM PLUS Platinum, a more general construction to reduce energy consumption by up to 45 percent.

First phase provides a wide public open space to Kwun Tong and nearby residents, and more specifically has added a tower to environmental protection and greening ideas. One of the layers, in irregular appearance reflecting of the piles of recycling waste paper on the pier, is a symbol of the reuse concept of environmental protection.  This tower has now become a landmark of the Kwun Tong Waterfront Promenade. The design concept also promotes environmental awareness, and also specifically to drip history of the cargo handling area into the new building. Therefore this is more representative of the community of Kwun Tong. Phase II will be extended from the existing Kwun Tong waterfront promenade with further region of seven hundred fifty meters. The project will be set up jogging facilities, a pavilion and cafe about to be completed by the end of 2014.

(星島日報報道)由政府推出的「起動九龍東」計畫，銳意把東九龍，包括觀塘、九龍灣等一帶活化成新商業區，更在該區推動多項環保綠化工作，務求將東九龍大變身。計畫項目之一的「零碳天地」，以先進環保建築設計作賣點，小小試點卻為未來地區環保發展方向予以大啟示。

零碳天地已取得香港環保建築獎並經初步評審為綠色建築環保評核系BEAM PLUS的白金級最高認證級別，較一般建築減少能源消耗高達百分之四十五。

第一期除為觀塘及附近居民提供了一個寬闊的公共休憩空間，更特地加入了一幢以環保和綠化為意念的塔樓，其一層層不規則的外觀映照 當日碼頭上一疊疊的回收廢紙，象徵重用的環保理念。此塔樓現已成為觀塘海濱長廊的地標，設計除宣傳環保理念，也特意將貨物起卸區的點滴和歷史加入新建築，讓此地更能代表觀塘這個社區。第二期將會從現時的觀塘海濱長廊伸延多七百五十米，計畫將增設緩步跑設施、涼亭和咖啡室等，約2014年年底完成。

10 Strange DIY Robots 10個奇怪的DIY的機器人

PCMAG.com introduce ten strange (but funny) DIY Robots.

For example, #6, Owi Roly Poly Robot Kit

The Owi Roly Poly Robot Kit may look like a yo-yo, but there's no "walking the dog" here. Once you assemble its 20 parts, this robot can tumble, stumble, and fall but always manages to right itself. You can even personalize Roly Poly by drawing a picture of someone you love (or hate) and inserting it in the robot's dome. Although it's meant as an educational activity for students, this kit is definitely unusual. See what this robot can do for $22.95 from RoboToys.com.

例如，＃6，OWI Roly Poly 機器人套件
OWI Roly Poly 機器人套件可能看起來就像一個溜溜球，但有沒有“遛狗”。一旦你組裝的20件，這個機器人可以用跌倒，但總是有辦法糾正自己。你甚至可以個性化Roly Poly 畫一個你愛的人（或討厭）的圖片，並插入機器人的圓頂。雖然它意味著作為一個學生的教育活動，這套件肯定是不同尋常的。見這個機器人可以 US$22.95美元從RoboToys.com購買。

Protect Yourselves on P2P, Online Media and Mobile Netoworks 在P2P，網絡媒體和移動網絡上要保護自己

Thanks one of partners for his kindness to give me a good security books "Modern Malware for Dummies" in an information security conference in May.

As a security product manager in IT industries, I found most enterprise in Hong Kong are well equipped with necessary security means to protect their business system and internal staffs. However, there is still a lot of end-users is not sensitive enough on potential security threats. Also, IT security education is a subset of Science education. I would like to recommend this book to secondary school and university students.

感謝合作夥伴他的好意，在5月的信息安全會議，給我一本具有參考價值書籍“Modern Malware for Dummies”。

作為一個在IT行業的信息安全產品經理，我發現，大多數香港的企業已經配備必要的安全手段以保護自己的業務系統和內部員工。但是，仍然有很多終端用戶對潛在的互聯網威脅是不夠敏感。此外，信息安全的教育是科學教育的一個子集。所以，我想推薦這本書給中學和大學的學生。

One of the chapter: "Why traditional security solutions fail to control modern malware"

Arduino Ultrasonic Car 超聲波車

"Learn by Play " is the idea of BachCode.

I did learn a lot by assembling this Arduino toy car.

“從遊戲中學習” 是BachCode的想法。

通過組裝這個Arduino的玩具車，我學到了很多。

Let me introduce: 

L298N motor driver board,  Motors

讓我介紹一下： 

L298N電機驅動板 , 電機

Connect L298N motor driver boar with  the two motors and battery compartment.

連接L298N電機驅動板，兩個電機，電池盒。

Ultrasonic module 超聲波模塊
ARDUINO 328 controller  ARDUINO 328給力板

L298N motor driver board L298N電機驅動板

Steering gear  舵機 

Connect and Test with program - Unfortunately, I got only a extremely unclear manual, and a program with error!! What a trial-and-error learning process. :)

連接和測試程序 - 不幸的是，我只有一個非常不清楚的說明書，和一個錯誤的程序！！真是一個 "嘗試和錯誤學習" 的過程！:)

My note. 我的手記

Establish the PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) and install Steering gear.

復原編輯建立雲台和安裝的舵機。

Mount all component onto the rack. ....and New problem discovered !!  

安裝所有組件到機架。....和.....發現新的問題！ ：|

The PTZ is damaged. I should not put it too front.

Could you see the strange angle of ultrasonic module at the front?

Lesson I learnt: Engineering design is not talking only about concept and programming. Testing in the real situation is very important.

雲台損壞了。我不應該把它放太前面。

你可看到超聲波模塊的奇怪角度。 :(

我學到的教訓：工程設計不單止是概念和編程。測試在實際情況中是非常重要的。

Some more close-ups, if you are not yet bored.

再來一些特寫，如果你還沒有厭倦。

Please email me if you need a clear manual, and a correct programming. :P
如果你需要一個明確的使用說明書，一個正確的編程，請發郵件給我。 :P
