• Fact: Teleprompter installed cable facilities that occupied portions of Loretto’s roof and the side of her building. However, Loretto could not prohibit the continued occupation of the cable facilities because New York passed a law prohibiting interference by a landlord in the installation of cable and the acceptance of payment from a cable company.
• Rule: a permanent physical occupation authorized by the government is a taking per se. (Permanent Physical Occupation Test)
• Here in our case, the bolting of cable wires and boxes to the building, as well as the complete occupancy of space immediately above and upon the roof and along the building’s exterior
wall satisfies the test for permanent physical occupation. Therefore, there is a per se taking.
• Fact: Lucas bought two residential lots in South Carolina with the intent to build single-family homes. However, after Lucas bought the lots, South Carolina passed a law that barred Lucas from building any permanent habitable structures on his two lots.
• Rule 1: a regulation that completely deprives private property of all its economic viable use constitutes a taking
• Rule 2: in order to know whether a regulation is for nuisance control we need to look at the common law of nuisance.
• Here in our case,
(1) there is a complete wipe out of property rights because it prohibits the owner from using the land as he originally intended. Hence, the owner’s investment backed expectation is eliminated.
(2) furthermore, there is no nuisance because budling a house is not a nuisance in South Carolina’s common law.
• Additional Consideration:
Nuisance v. Complete Taking: in a situation where the regulation is for the purpose of nuisance control, but it deprives the entire private property, then we need to look at the common law. If the government regulation is going over what it could do under the nuisance common law, then it is a taking because there is a complete taking without justification. However, if the regulation is within the common law of nuisance, then there is no taking because the property owner is on notice this his property would be wiped out.
• Fact: New York enacted the Landmark Preservation Law that designated certain buildings as landmarks. Penn Central owned the Grand Central Terminal which was designated a historical landmark. This restricted Penn Central from leasing their air space above the Terminal to another.
• Rule: when discerning if there is a taking or not the court needs to consider the: (1) Economic impact
(2) Extent to which the regulation has interfered with the owner’s reasonable investment-backed expectations
(3) Character of the government action
• Here in our case,
(1) Economic Impact: there is no total diminution of the value of the property because it can still generate revenue from renting out portions of the terminal
(2) Investment-backed Expectation: when Penn Central bought the terminal their expectation of the use of the property was for the use of terminal and they can still use it as a terminal.
Hence, the regulation did not interfere with the owner’s investment-backed expectations. (3) Character of government action: it is not a nuisance control regulation.
• Additional Consideration:
(1) Dissent: the regulation completely eliminated Penn Central’s air rights, and this is taking away their investment-backed expectation. Hence, you have taken away an essential aspect
of their ownership; so, it is a taking.

Interpersonal communication involves the information, ideas, and feelings being exchanged verbally or non-verbally between two or more people. Face-to-face communication often involves hearing, seeing, and feeling body language, facial expressions, and gestures.
In other terms, Interpersonal communication is exchanging information, meaning, feelings, and opinions between two or more people via verbal and non-verbal means. Although we mentioned “face-to-face” communication previously, today’s technology compels us to expand its definition to include media such as phone calls and online messaging.

Ives got his start as a printer’s apprentice in Ithaca, New York. After two years of learning the ins and outs of the printing process, he began managing the photographic laboratory at nearby Cornell University. He spent the rest of the decade experimenting with new photography techniques and learning about cameras, printers, and optics.
Ives quickly translated his vision into reality and patented his printing approach in 1881. He spent the remainder of the decade improving upon it. By 1885, he had developed a simplified process that delivered even better results. The Ives Process, as it came to be known, reduced the cost of printing images by 15x and remained the standard printing technique for the next 80 years.
In 1881, Ives had a flash of insight regarding a better printing technique. Alright, now let’s discuss what lessons we can learn from Ives about the creative process.
The chance of the Feed-in Tariff Scheme (FiT Scheme) being extended beyond 2033 is slim, Secretary for Environment & Ecology Tse Chin-wan told lawmakers today.
The FiT Scheme, implemented under the Scheme of Control Agreements (SCAs) which will run till the end of 2033, was launched in 2018 by the Government in collaboration with the city’s two power companies - CLP Power Hong Kong (CLP) and Hongkong Electric Company (HKE). Under the FiT Scheme, the power companies purchase renewable energy generated by citizens at a rate higher than the normal electricity tariff rate.
As at September 2024, some 26,000 applications have been approved by CLP and HKE. About 399 million and 15 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity can be generated for CLP and HKE respectively each year, accounting for about 0.85% and 0.03% of the two power companies’ fuel mix for electricity generation, and sufficient to meet the electricity demand of about 126,000 households.
Besides, the Government has earmarked a total of $3 billion for installing renewable energy facilities at government buildings and facilities since 2017-18, of which about $2.2 billion has been approved for more than 250 projects, which are expected to generate about 26 million kWh of electricity annually.
Coupling these with the projects implemented through interdepartmental collaboration and optimising the use of space in the public sector, Mr Tse said the Government is confident in achieving the target of meeting 1% to 2% of Hong Kong’s electricity demand with solar energy by 2035, meeting the target set in the Climate Action Plan 2050.
The environment chief also noted that as renewable energy technologies are becoming mature, the trends in the Mainland and the international arena are to gradually reduce and cease subsidies for renewable energy.
Looking ahead, as many places in the world have completely ceased subsidising renewable energy, the chance of the FiT Scheme being extended beyond the expiration of the SCAs in 2033 is believed to be slim, he added.
The plain view exception makes a seizure of an item reasonable without a warrant.
One who reasonably believes that another has tortiously taken a chattel upon his premise or has failed to make cash payment for a chattel purchased or services rendered there, is privileged without arresting the other, to detain him on the premises for the time necessary for a reasonable investigation of the facts.
I think it takes quite a bit of courage to actually live freely. It's just as easy as wanting to do it. It takes effort and courage to take the risk that others will laugh at you, or put you down for taking action on the things you want.
Randy rode his red bike through the narrow forest trail, marveling at the rustling leaves and chirping birds. Near a rocky bend, he noticed a raccoon rummaging for berries under a big maple tree. Randy smiled, rang his bell, and waved as the curious creature scampered away!

19. Dispute Resolution—If You live in the United States
PLEASE READ THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION (“PROVISION”) CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. BY AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION, YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO LITIGATE DISPUTES THROUGH A COURT AND TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE YOUR CASE.
If You live in the United States, You and CenturyGames agree that all Disputes between You and CenturyGames will be settled by binding arbitration, unless otherwise provided herein.
This agreement does not apply (1) if You are a resident of any jurisdiction which prohibits this arbitration agreement, (2) if You opt out of this arbitration agreement as described in section (e) below, or (3) to certain types of Disputes described in section (e) below. Please read this Provision carefully.
a. Purpose & Disputes Covered
This Provision facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any Disputes (including, except as provided below, a Dispute as to whether a Dispute is covered by this arbitration agreement) that may arise between CenturyGames and You or anyone acting on Your behalf, asserting Your rights, or seeking damages or losses incurred by You.
Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution in which persons with a dispute waive their rights to file a lawsuit, to proceed in court and to a jury trial, and instead submit their disputes to a neutral third person (or arbitrator) for a binding decision. In the absence of an arbitration agreement, You may otherwise have a right or opportunity to bring claims in court, before a judge or jury, and/or participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions or representative actions). Arbitration replaces the right to go to court. Except as otherwise provided herein, by agreeing to these Terms, You waive Your right to litigate claims in court and waive the right to have Your claims heard by a judge or jury. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorneys’ fees).
When You first consent to these Terms, You have the right to opt-out of this Provision, which means You would retain Your right to litigate Your Disputes in a court, either before a judge or jury. If You have previously consented to arbitrate, then You may only opt out of the revised arbitration procedure contained herein, and the last Terms that You agreed to will govern our relationship going forward.
b. Agreement to Arbitrate / Waiver of Right to Jury Trial
YOU AND CENTURYGAMES EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION, AND YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, OR MASS OR COLLECTIVE ACTION (WHERE DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR INJURIES ASSOCIATED WITH YOU AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS OR ENTITIES ARE CONSIDERED IN A SINGLE ACTION). YOU AND CENTURYGAMES AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE OVER WHETHER A DISPUTE IS SUBJECT TO THIS PROVISION WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU AND CENTURYGAMES AGREE THAT ANY PERSON PURPORTING TO ACT ON YOUR BEHALF, ASSERING YOUR RIGHTS, OR SEEKING DAMAGES OR OTHER REMEDIES ON YOUR BEHALF WILL SUBMIT TO BINDING ARBITRATION AS SET FORTH IN THIS PROVISION.
You understand and agree that by entering into this agreement You and CenturyGames are each waiving the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Provision, You and CenturyGames might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring Disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that You would have if You went to court, such as the right to appeal and to certain types of discovery, may be more limited or may also be waived.
c. Class Action Waiver
YOU AND CENTURYGAMES AGREE THAT YOU AND CENTURYGAMES MAY EACH BRING CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT ON A CLASS ACTION, MASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION (WHERE DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR INJURIES ASSOCIATED WITH YOU AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS OR ENTITIES ARE CONSIDERED IN A SINGLE ACTION), OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS (“CLASS ACTION WAIVER”). YOU AND CENTURYGAMES EACH AGREE THAT YOU AND CENTURYGAMES ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PURSUE OR HAVE A DISPUTE RESOLVED AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, MASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, the arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any claim or issue any relief on any basis other than an individual basis. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, claim on behalf of a third-party, consolidated action or private attorney general action, or any type of action where You seek to recover for damage sustained on behalf of a third party) unless both You and CenturyGames specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim(s).
Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms or the rules of the arbitration provider, Disputes regarding the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this Class Action Waiver may be resolved only by a court and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which: (1) the Dispute is filed as a class, collective, or representative action, or otherwise falls within the scope of the Class Action Waiver, and (2) there is a final judicial determination that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable with respect to any claim or any particular remedy for a claim (such as a request for public injunctive relief), then that claim or particular remedy (and only that claim or particular remedy) shall be severed from any remaining claims and/or remedies and may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, but the Class Action Waiver shall be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis as to all other claims or remedies to the fullest extent possible.
If You choose to pursue Your Dispute in court after opting out of this Provision, as specified in section (e) below, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to You. Neither You, nor any other user of the Services can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements below.
d. Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution
For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, You must first give CenturyGames an opportunity to resolve the Dispute, and during such resolution process, both You and the CenturyGames agree to participate in good faith. Notwithstanding Section 18 of these Terms, You must commence this process by providing written notification to: 447 Sutter St Ste 405 # 329 San Francisco ,CA 94108.
That written notification must include (1) Your name, (2) Your address, (3) a written description of your Claim, (4) identification of the Service at issue, (5) game account, and (6) a description of the Dispute and the specific relief You seek. If CenturyGames does not resolve the Dispute within 45 days after it receives Your written notification, You may pursue Your CenturyGames in arbitration. You may pursue your CenturyGames in a court only under the circumstances described below.
e. Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out
Notwithstanding the above, You or CenturyGames may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if (i) the Dispute qualifies, it may be initiated in small claims court; or (ii) YOU PROVIDE THE CENTURYGAMES WRITTEN NOTICE OF YOUR DESIRE TO OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THIS AGREEMENT (the “Arbitration Opt-Out Notice”). Notwithstanding Section 18 of these Terms, to opt-out of these arbitration procedures, You must provide written notification to: 447 Sutter St Ste 405 # 329 San Francisco ,CA 94108.
Your written notification must include (1) Your name, (2) Your address, (3) Game account; and (4) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with CenturyGames through arbitration. Your decision to opt-out of this Provision will have no adverse effect on Your relationship with CenturyGames. If You do not provide CenturyGames with an Arbitration Opt-Out Notice within 30 days from the date that You first consent to these Terms, You will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived Your right to litigate any Dispute except as expressly set forth in clause (i) above.
Nothing in this Provision precludes You or CenturyGames from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction including without limitation injunctive relief necessary to prevent irreparable harm to intellectual property, trade secrets, or goodwill.
f. Arbitration Procedures
If this Provision applies and the Dispute is not resolved as provided above (“Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution”) either You or CenturyGames may initiate arbitration proceedings. The parties may appoint a single arbitrator by mutual consent; otherwise, ADR Services, Inc., www.adrservices.com, (415) 772-0900, will administer the arbitration of all Disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration. Unless both You and the CenturyGames agree in writing, the arbitrator shall have no authority to consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. Except as provided in Section 20(c) above, all issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope and enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate, as well as any Dispute related to its interpretation, applicability, or formation, including any claim that all or any part of it is void or voidable. But a court has exclusive authority to enforce the Class Action Waiver, which prohibits arbitration on a class-wide basis or in a representative capacity, as set forth in Section 20(c). Likewise, a court has exclusive authority to enjoin any arbitration proceedings that do not comply with these Terms, including Section 20 specifically.
ADR Services, Inc.’s Arbitration Rules shall apply to any arbitration, however, this Provision shall govern in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration. Because the Services and these Terms concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all Disputes.
Arbitration Award – The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will not have the power to award to any claimant any damages incurred by a third party or relief for any harm incurred by a third party. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of review provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.
Location of Arbitration – For Disputes between the CenturyGames and users who are residents of the United States, You or CenturyGames may initiate arbitration in San Francisco, California. However, when, and only when, required by law, the arbitrator shall be authorized to convene a hearing in a different location. In such instances and only to the extent required by law, CenturyGames will pay the cost of the arbitrator’s travel. For any user who lives more than 50 miles from the location of the arbitration, CenturyGames will pay the user’s reasonable cost of travel, as determined by the arbitrator, to any in-person hearing, in the event the user chooses to attend the hearing in person. Any party shall be entitled to participate in any merits evidentiary hearing or pre- or post-hearing proceeding telephonically or via videoconference, and any proceedings other than the merits evidentiary hearing will presumptively be conducted telephonically or by videoconference unless contrary to law.
Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs – Unless otherwise provided herein, each Party shall pay its own arbitration filing fees and arbitrator’s costs and expenses. Unless otherwise provided herein, You are responsible for all fees and costs that You incur in the arbitration, including, but not limited to, attorneys or expert witnesses. Fees and costs may be awarded as provided pursuant to applicable law.
