Mau ,,a version of one of these. .. youtu.be At all electric car charging stations would accomplish what you want ..hands free charging. Tesla seems to have allowed space in its charging stations already to pop them in and wire. Better than this.. And of course much better than removing teratons of concrete asphalt, dirt ,,gravel and stringing miles of underground wire for halo hands free charging device... not to mention electrical losses and related dangers of ripping ,tearing out shearing off.. grinding by street sweepers and snow plows:) We have been thru this before .. run from those young whipper snappers at the Q

tradable citizenship is working fine i note brazil is losing relatively more millionaires than china the french are in a panic a bunch of folks moved to the usa, even as the insiders are picking up the pace toward exit zerohedge.com Americ-exit: US Applications For New Zealand Citizenship Soar 70% Since The ElectionFollowing the *"millionaire exodus"* writing-on-the-wall, it appears Americans, who are renouncing citizenship in record numbers, have found their new safe haven from the Trumpian dystopia they appearently fear. In the 12 weeks since the election, the number of Americans applying for New Zealand citizenship has soared 70%. Millionaires are already moving... Courtesy of: Visual Capitalist And with New Zealand becoming the place to be for hedge fund managers and elites alike, who are building airstrips across the islands as their ultimate escape routes... AP reports that In New Zealand, the number of Americans who applied for a grant of citizenship rose by 70 percent in the 12 weeks following the election of President Donald Trump when compared to the same period a year earlier. Figures also show the number of Americans who obtained a New Zealand work visa in January was up 18 percent from a year earlier, as was the number of Americans who visited the country. Furthermore, in response to an AP freedom of information request, New Zealand's Department of Internal Affairs said that in the two days after the U.S. election in November, the number of Americans who visited its website to find out about citizenship was up more than tenfold from the same two weekdays a month earlier. Some Americans living in New Zealand say their friends and family have been asking them about moving there since the election. Alanna Irving, 33, a technology startup entrepreneur from San Francisco, moved to New Zealand six years ago and has since married a kiwi, as the locals are known. "It's an extremely livable place and you can see and palpably feel the difference in how society is organized, and what people prioritize," she said. "New Zealand is a place that cares about equality, I think more. It's less individualistic, more community-minded." Cameron Pritchard, an immigration consultant at Malcolm Pacific Immigration in Wellington, said the increase in citizenship applications could be a result of people wanting to feel more settled in their adopted country, given the uncertain nature of the world. It's about "getting a bit more security or really making a longer-term decision that New Zealand is the place they want to call home," he said. He said his company noticed a big spike in inquiries from the U.S. during the election. *"It's been more of a flurry of excitement initially than anything that's translated into a huge avalanche of numbers," he said.* However, as we noted previously, elite anxiety is a worrying indicator of America’s social crisis. “Why do people who are envied for being so powerful appear to be so afraid?” Johnson said. “What does that really tell us about our system? It’s a very odd thing. You’re basically seeing that the people who’ve been the best at reading the tea leaves—the ones with the most resources, because that’s how they made their money—are now the ones most preparing to pull the rip cord and jump out of the plane.”

PUBLISHED : Tuesday, 14 March, 2017, 8:21pm UPDATED : Tuesday, 14 March, 2017, 11:37pm Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) has raised the launch price of a batch of apartment units by 11 per cent within four days, in what’s probably the most extreme display of price elasticity among Hong Kong’s property developers. Up to 123 units of the second batch of Cullinan West apartments, atop West Rail’s Nam Cheong Station in Kowloon, were released for sale on Tuesday at an average price of HK$21,055 (US$2,711) per square foot after discounts, or 11 per cent more than the HK$18,998 per square foot average in the first batch of 210 units. The smallest apartment, a 270 sq ft unit on the 51st floor, will cost HK$1 million more than a same-size unit on the 10th floor, which was released for sale last week. “It’s the smallest unit along Hong Kong’s railway network,” said Louis Chan Wing-kit, the Asia-Pacific chief executive of Centaline Property Agency’s residential department. “The frenetic buying spree has lifted home prices.” The second batch will be available for between HK$7.94 million and HK$48.38 million before discounts, with sizes ranging from 270 sq ft to 1,503 sq ft. The developer will offer discounts of up to 23 per cent including a 1.5 per cent rebate once the transaction is completed. After discounts, the price of the smallest unit will be HK$6.07 million, or HK$22,200 per square foot. A two-bedroom unit measuring 400 sq ft at Island Harbourview at Olympic Station, one stop from Nam Cheong, currently goes for HK$21,000 per square foot, Chan said. A simpler explanation for the higher prices may be that the second batch of Cullinan West apartments offers owners better a view of Victoria Harbour, said SHKP’s deputy managing director Victor Lui. Andy Chan, Sun Hung Kai Real Estate Agency’s general manager for sales and marketing, said the sale on Saturday will be split into two parts. The developer will allocate 137 units for the Group A prospective buyers who intend to buy two to three units inclusive of one bigger than 1,500 sq ft. The remaining 172 units will be reserved for Group B buyers who will buy two units at most without any size limitation. “We will see long queues of prospective buyers at sales offices this weekend again,” said Centaline’s Chan.
