Design thinking as a concept is prevalent across the world today for its effective problem- solving techniques using design principles. We are now beginning to finally understand that design- thought and action are both keys to most of the breakthrough contributions that human beings have witnessed as a civilization. It is backed up by a set of smarter tools and methodologies to help unlock greater potential. With a greater emphasis on the 2E's- "empathy and experimentation", the design thinking focuses on keeping the user at the centre of the initiative, understanding their real-time requirements, and then crafting solutions accordingly. It complements the existing approach for success, from becoming problem solvers to creative solution providers. In order to create successful products and services, design thinking involves all the stakeholders from design and business fraternity to effectively engage in eradicating the prevalent challenges.
Concept: Design, as you will agree, is an iterative process. And with the constantly changing world and its dynamics, even the design processes have undergone a reformation, with design thinking becoming a fundamental component of this conscious evolution. It draws upon logic, imagination, intuition and systemic reasoning, to explore future possibilities through effective problem-solving techniques. Simplistically put, design thinking is an outcome of designer's sensibilities and methods that help cater populace needs through technology and business strategy. It further helps create customer value and even address the market opportunity. Further, design thinking even anticipates the problems of future and helps them address today. It brings the right balance between analytical and intuitive thinking. The newer and wider applications of design thinking are visible across technology, healthcare, and education verticals, with smarter products and services that offer productivity gains by improving the overall processes for customers.
Evolution of Design Thinking: Today in an era of easy information access, the digital processes have brought new possibilities for the design arena that requires an ethical and feeling attitude along with sharp intellect. The other step forward is created using professional design education that is sensitized to feel, think, and act for a rapidly changing social world. Design thinking approach has been in existence for a few decades now. It has the power to lay a better foundation across industry verticals. Ever since 1950's, we have experienced the pervasive presence of design for the mass launch and wider adoption of cars, consumer electronics across the world. Post-1960's, the design element was aligned to the core product functionality rather than the selling point. A new era in the design vertical was witnessed during 1980's with the launch of Apple Macintosh computers, to iPod devices of modern times. This can be attributed to the early application of design thinking to develop actual business solutions. The focus here was about maximizing consumer satisfaction â€" by understanding their practical needs. It was a revolutionary development which was beyond technology and aesthetics towards creating products with strong emotional appeal. Even the social and system scientists, Russell Ackoff (from 1981), Marvin Weisbord (from 1991) propose that design is "the creation of a desirable future and the invention of ways to bring it about.", and how the world is moving from experts designing our systems to how regular people are performing this activity, respectively.
India Story: Design Thinking is widely gaining prominence in India by breaking the stereotypes for future development. The actual transformation of design thought into the process will be led by design thinking principles that can evolve with the right direction. The intuitive experience of this process will help get a deep dive into user personalities and their preferences for future. The idea should be to create an enterprise social network that includes all stakeholders, combined with a suite of tools, method, and processes. For India, a government supported ecosystem will spearhead the growth of design thinking principles. Also, a holistic policy framework will further establish innovative and design based thinking. At present, some of the product companies have started experimenting with the application of design thinking for their campaigns to anticipate and cater their target customer demands. Usha Fans is an example of implying some of the basics of design thinking principles which became a major success with the product range dedicated for children. The fan manufacturer incorporated imagery as part of fan design from popular cartoons, like choota bheem and doraemon, making it appealing to the children. The future product companies will be able to address and anticipate problems better by creating robust systems and processes by incorporating design thinking principles at a root-level.
Future Outlook: The university education of today is dominated by vertical specializations with a little or abstract connect with the real world. Between various disciplines, the core emphasis is on the development of knowledge resources and capabilities within that specific study domain. We certainly are producing great talent but they are mostly problem managers and not the problem solvers. Our conventional system is certainly missing out on solving real world problems and exploring the emerging opportunities. We need to collaborate and brainstorm our interdisciplinary attitudes and abilities to realize the innovative possibilities for future. It is at this juncture the educators across disciplines must look-up to design thinking, in order to bring out that balance for the various domains of specialization, with new attitudes and capabilities within an educational and university set-up. For an optimum success, the focus should be on incorporating design thinking into our education processes right at an inception phase. As a module, this concept should be introduced in the foundation course for the next generation. Design Thinking, based pedagogy will help students develop insights from multiple perspectives, and it will give them the precise flair to solve real-world problems based on critical thinking and analytical skills. The time has come to take the design to mainstream education to help future professionals solve problems successfully by applying innovative ways. A repositioning for design as a discipline is required, as advisors, mentors, and coaches. Possibilities are many to unleash the power of design thinking to demystify any and every professional endeavour.

A good bet near Ile de la Cité and Saint-Germain, the Cavern Club is an easygoing venue without pretensions: in an area where the rents are the most expensive in Paris, €8 cocktails can be had for €3.50 during happy hour – though made with ‘value’ alcohol, they’re mixed with taste and a generous hand, like a Berry Cooler (vodka, amaretto, cranberry juice), the June Bug (white rum, melon liqueur, banana, pineapple juice, lime) or the Chimayo (tequila, crème de cassis, apple juice), plus good renditions of jazz standards like mojitos and piña coladas. If you want to stick with premium booze, those cocktails aren’t counted in the happy hour.
There’s a beautiful big old bar in the entrance, exposed beams and trendy patterned wallpaper – what’s more, at the back of the bar and down a staircase is the cavern that gives the place its name: a huge vaulted basement with a second bar and stage where they put on pop, rock, folk and chanson française of an evening, as well as electro house DJs and, every Wednesday at 8.30pm, improv theatre skits from La Muse Hante group. The final sell: it closes at dawn, so is one to choose for evenings you don’t want to end, especially in this area that tends to be dead after dark. The full events programme is available here.

Sunday night, JP decided to try out the nice big wood stove we have in our new house. We have had wood stoves and fire places in several places we have lived so he is very familiar with them. He started the fire about 7 PM, the kids went to bed and I followed soon after. JP was chillin out on the computer and I fell asleep. About 1 AM, I heard him talking on the phone and telling me to get up to get the kids out of the house. He said the stove pipe was glowing bright red near the wall and the wall was so hot he could barely keep his hand on it. Like I said, he is a pro at fire places but he was freaked out. He called 911 which is something he said he has never done in his life. There was no smoke or fire coming out anywhere except the glowing pipe. We are so fortunate we live walking distance from the volunteer fire department. They didn't even use the sirens, but coasted down the hill to our house. The kids and I walked down to the car and I was glad we all wore warm clothes to bed and I thought to grab a blanket. By the time we walked down to the car, I was shivering. JP came down and started the car heat and he went back to wait for the fire department. They came in and checked the whole house out and choked off the wood stove. They used an imaging system which let them see through the walls to check for heat. It cooled down a lot while they were here and needless to say we will not be using it again until we have it inspected and cleaned. The fireman said when someone cleaned it they probably knocked some cresote or old ashes down into the pipe and it caught on fire.
They told us we could subscribe to the fire department for $50 a year or pay $1700 for them to come out to a fire. The $50 covers any time they come out. Since we are new, we do not have to pay for this time because we didn't know but we will definitely register and pay the $50 bucks gladly.
After the firemen left and we got the kids back in the bed around 1:30 AM, we got in bed and thanked the Lord for sparing us and our house. We realized how fortunate and blessed we were and thought of all those who do not have such wonderful outcomes.
The funniest thing was the next day at work, JP said some guy on first shift called him over. He said I thought I recognized you last night. The head fireman was a co-worker of JP's. Isn't that crazy!

Borough To Take Away Wood Stoves? — The People's Paper & Make A Scene!
Borough To Take Away Wood Stoves?
As many residents of the Mat-Su Borough know, John Moosey, the borough manager, has been pursuing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to control air quality. This agreement will enable the Borough to regulate how private individuals heat their homes, negatively impacting household budgets, and create new regulations for the already struggling Mat-Su economy. It will also allow the Borough to increase the number of public employees by using EPA grant money that may or may not be available in the future.
As I explain below, Moosey is literally buying into the EPA’s false assertions regarding “harmful” smoke dust from your wood and coal stoves. In order for Moosey to “fix the problem”, he will need to increase the employees in the Borough’s Planning (zoning and regulation) Department, tasking them with creating regulations for approval by the Assembly. These regulations would be designed to limit your freedom to use your wood and coal stoves during the coldest days of the year. If you think this is government overreach, we are in agreement.
Some of these new employees could drive along the road in a fleet of vehicles outfitted with “sniffer” devices checking for dust coming out of your stove pipe as you are relaxing in comfort. The Borough would pinpoint your house with these “sniffer” vehicles and later send you a letter asking you what you use to heat your home. The wrong answer or the wrong type of stove may get you a warning, possibly even a fine. This story sounds like pure insanity, except that it is already happening in the Fairbanks North Star Borough!
Sadly, Moosey is creating a smoke screen of deception as he works with the EPA and the DEC. He has bought into the unsupported claim from the EPA that the dust from wood and coal stoves called PM 2.5 is harmful to your health. Steve Milloy hit the nail on the head with his 4/6/2017 article in the Washington Times when he said, “The only time EPA told the truth about particulate matter was when it told its human guinea pigs that the experiments were harmless.” The EPA’s findings have rightly been called junk science.
Clearing the smoke screen enables you to recognize that concern over PM 2.5 is deceptive. PM 2.5 is the name given to dust about 1/30th the diameter of a human hair. It wasn’t the material that was named, but the size of the dust. PM 2.5 dust comes from burning fuels such as wood, coal and oil. It is also produced from burning organic materials like cigarettes, marijuana and other items. The Borough has been testing PM 2.5 levels, but Moosey has not investigated its source. Without that information, how does he know what should be regulated? It is also important to note that the EPA can and has adjusted their threshold downward at will, increasing the potential of violations. It makes one wonder if they ever want us to meet their threshold.
Moosey produced a report upon Assembly to request to justify the agreement with the DEC. His report claims that, “PM2.5 is associated with more severe health consequences,” listing several in the report. The Borough Planner could not show the correlation between the air quality in the Butte where PM 2.5 readings were collected and any of the health issues reported when asked by Assemblyman McKee. His report isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. Health impact of PM 2.5 and federal highway money are in no way dependent on an agreement between the Borough and DEC.
The real issue here is that Manager Moosey wants to increase regulations and grow government. If the Mat-Su Borough follows the Fairbanks model, it will seek federal grants which will force us to conform to EPA guidelines. Then it will hire 9 zoning and regulation employees designed to work on air quality issues. And what would these planners do in the winter when they are not creating air quality regulations? They would probably spend time with community councils creating additional zoning restrictions which often are implemented without the knowledge or consent of those impacted. Many of the Buffalo Mine, Soapstone, Sutton, Lazy Mountain and Meadow Lakes residents have suffered from this same type of government overreach.
The solution is simple: The Assembly should direct Manager Moosey to terminate the current agreement with the DEC and end this deception. Both Alaska State Statute AS 46.14.400 and the Borough Attorney confirm that the agreement is NOT necessary. Moosey should focus on his real job rather than make the lives of Mat-Su Borough residents more difficult. The State, not the Borough, is responsible for maintaining EPA compliance.

Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) Touch ID biometric authentication system will be implemented in the upcoming iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3, as well as the next-generation iPhone, according to the latest rumor out of Asia. Apple supplier Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:TSM) began delivering the first batches of the fingerprint sensor assembly for all three devices in mid-April, according to “informed sources” cited by components trading network website cecb2b.com, via MacRumors.
According to the sources, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. has also outsourced some of the fingerprint sensor assembly production to Xintec and Suzhou Jing Fang, two other semiconductor manufacturers. The fingerprint sensors are reportedly being manufactured with the same 8-inch fab method that was previously used for the iPhone 5S, instead of a 12-inch fab method that a previous report from DigiTimes suggested would be used.
MacRumors reports that the implementation of the Touch ID technology in the next-generation iPad Air and iPad mini aligns with recent predictions made by well-connected KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Last month, Kuo released a product roadmap that offered various details about Apple’s upcoming products.
Last year, Apple released the iPad Air on November 1, while the iPad mini with Retina display hit store shelves on November 12. Industry sources cited by Korea’s ETNews claimed that the iPad mini with Retina display launch was delayed due to yield issues related to production of the high-resolution display. Similarly, Jefferies analyst Peter Misek blamed the initial iPhone 5S shortages on “terrible” yields for the fingerprint sensor assembly, reports StreetInsider. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s relatively early start on the manufacturing of the fingerprint sensor assemblies for this year’s crop of devices suggests that Apple is seeking to avoid a repeat of last year’s supply problems.
It should be noted that Apple isn’t the only tech company gearing up to release a tablet with a fingerprint sensor this year. According to a new report from SamMobile, Samsung’s (SSNLF.PK) upcoming Galaxy Tab S will also feature a fingerprint sensor. Samsung’s tablet will use the same fingerprint sensor technology that the Korea-based company used in its recently released Galaxy S5 smartphone.

Heckling at hockey games can sometimes verge on offensive, but it’s a crucial part of the atmosphere, writes Morgan Reppert.
Anyone who has ever had the pleasure of attending a hockey game—whether it be professional or junior—has learned the unspoken rules of fan etiquette. First and foremost, you should come in your team’s apparel or not at all. Secondly, always throw your hat on the ice when someone scores a hat trick. Lastly, you should keep your heckling creative; no one wants to hear “URI was my safety school” four times.
Although the Mullins Center is a slightly different experience than TD Garden, it’s a close second. The beauty of attending games at the University of Massachusetts is that no one is invested in the fact that you may or may not be a Bruins fan, people are more preoccupied with the Minutemen placing the biscuit in the back of the opponent’s net. UMass hockey fans also share one massive thing in common: As Gordie Howe once said, “All hockey players are bilingual. They know English and profanity.” Howe clearly had the infamous student groups devoted to creating a lively student section—the Sons of Liberty and the Militia—in mind.
It’s hard to tell which erupts the crowd more, freshman goaltender Matt Murray handing Northeastern its first shutout of the season or the notorious red-haired man feasting on a Big Y sub sandwich. The two student-section groups have brought both solidarity and comradery against our opponents in the Hockey East, leading the students in provocative chants, distributing fatheads of Coach Carvel and hosting special giveaways to incite a larger student presence at games.
The Sons of Liberty has turned Section Q into a comedic hub. Although they have no official affiliation with UMass or UMass hockey, their witty banter has truly added to the atmosphere of the student section; their commitment to “uniting the masses” is admirable. If you haven’t been lucky enough to witness the Sons dousing themselves in blue Powerade or performing the “Cotton-Eye Joe,” you’re missing out. There is just something inspiring about the way they chant phrases like “BU doesn’t even have a campus” at the top of their lungs and then slowly sit down and smile.
But where do these student groups draw the line when heckling goes too far? Before the upsetting loss to Boston University, I was able to learn how the Sons of Liberty felt about bigots in the stands. Sons Cam Cavagnaro and Jeff Polidor both shed light on how, when it comes to leading the crowd, they draw a line at violating serious boundaries—as any true hockey fan would. In the short time I spent with them, it was apparent that they sincerely enjoy engaging the student section with their hysterical shenanigans.
On a more serious note, any true hockey fan knows that there are always people in the crowd who cross obvious boundaries when heckling. It’s all a matter of keeping the crowd engaged and electrified without shouting racial slurs and politically incorrect terms. So yes, it can be stated that heckling does have boundaries. Given the nature of the game, it is more than acceptable to stir the pot, but there is never room for bigotry and racism.
This article is not only accurate but also the most well written and concise article on a very difficult subject matter in the entire publication.. Please note that my statement has nothing to do with my sur-name.

Just like every day, Vishnu was looking at Swati in the physics class. While professor Verma was lecturing about time and space Vishnu could only think about those deep dark eyes of Swati, she just joined his college, a late joinee. Rumor is that she is a close relative of Principal Chatterjee.
Vishnu sighed, why all these beautiful girls have to be related to high and mighty. In this case related to that stupid old fool!
“What are you looking at?” Swati whispered.
Vishnu felt like he woke up from his dream, his wife swati was looking at him with question and surprise in her eyes. Even their 5 years old son and 8 years old daughter also had the same expression in their faces.
“You’ve been starting at me for like 10 minutes now! Are you alright? Anything wrong?” Swati blurted. She had this uneasy feeling about this look of her husband. It’s the same silent stares he had way back in college.
“I don’t know, I might have been dreaming. Dreaming about our college days. You know, how I used to stare at you from the last bench. Only it felt so real, as if… as if I was there, right there.” Vishnu spoke.
“Ok, alright, enough of dreaming, now drink your juice, you’re getting late. Kids! Fast, finish your corn flex; dad will drop you up both at school.” Swati was feeling warm and li’l shy in front of her kids, she remembers the sweet old days.
“What are you looking at?” Swati whispered again.
Vishnu felt like he just woke up from a dream. Was it for real? He and Swati are married and have kids?
What a weird dream! Also a dream he wants it come true. He looked at Swati and gave a stupid grin. Swati was looking at him with half curious half disgusted eyes. Man! How he wants her to be his life. Forever.
“Damn it. How long was the glitch? Was any living species of earth got affected?
“Only one reported Sir, a human called Vishnu shah. The glitch was hardly for a minute sir, as per the time calculation system of earth.
“No Sir, the human thought he was dreaming. We had his brain scanned, his memory about the incident is slowly fading.

We all have been taught that Elijah was taken up into the heavenlies, never to return to earth; never to die, as do all other men (except those who will be alive at Christ's Parousia). The scriptures do not teach this, even though he was taken up into the heavens. Elijah was probably transported away from the Israelites into retirement. Approximately seven to thirteen years after his departure, from Elisha, he comes out of retirement, after Jehoshaphat's death, to write a letter to Jehoshaphat's son, Jehoram. With this being the case, Elijah's removal from the public sector, is most likely going to be similar to Phillip's removal from the man of Ethiopia, as recorded in Acts 8:39-40.
The section of scripture that gives us this information is 2 Chronicles 21:12, which states, "Then came there unto him [Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat], a writing, from Elijah the prophet, saying,—Thus, saith Yahweh, Elohim of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa, king of Judah..." This verse is the only usage of Elijah's name in Chronicles, while Elijah's name was used sixty-six times in Kings. This section of scripture discloses to us that Elijah was alive and well on planet earth. Now we do the counting to see when he wrote this letter.
1.) Elijah departed from Elisha (2 Kgs. 2:13).
2.) Jehoram, son of Ahab, began to reign in Israel after this incident (2 Kgs. 3:1). This occurred in the eighteenth year of king Jehoshaphat.
3.) Jehoshaphat reigned twenty-five years (2 Chron. 20:31).
4.) Jehoshaphat reigned at least seven years after Elijah's departure (25 - 18 = 7). Jehoshaphat died (2 Chron. 21:1).
5.) Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, begins his eight year reign after his father's death (2 Chron. 21:5).
"...Thus, saith Yahweh, Elohim of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa, king of Judah; but hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast caused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to be unchaste, after the unchastities of the house of Ahab,—moreover also, thine own brethren of the house of thy father who were better than thou, hast thou slain, lo! Yahweh, is about to plague, with a great plague, thy people, and thy children and thy wives, and all thy possessions; also, thyself, with sore diseases, with disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels shall fall out, by reason of the disease, in a year added to a year" (2 Chron. 21:12-15).
7.) Elijah prophesied that Jehoram's bowels would fall out, which began to occur in the sixth year of his reign. He died from this condition after the second year, of this condition, as prophesied by Elijah (2 Chron. 21:18-20).
8.) Jehoram began his reign, at least 7 years after Elijah's departure and he reigned 6 years before Elijah's prophesy began to come to pass (7 + 6 = 13 years).
Elijah had an extremely difficult life, so difficult that he desired to die (1 Kgs. 19:4). Yahweh probably rewarded him for his labors, placing him in a location where he could not be found. Yahweh gave him three more assignments before he was replaced by Elisha (1 Kgs. 19:4, 15-16). These three tasks being accomplished, he could then be taken into a storm in the heavens, retiring from being a prophet to Israel. He could have been placed into a foreign land, which occurred when he was directed to go to the city of Zarephath, a city in Zion, during the 3 1/2 year drought in Israel (1 Kgs. 17:9). Elisha, Elijah's replacement, became the prophet of Yahweh to Israel. Seven to thirteen years later, Elijah, metaphorically speaking, came knocking on king Jehoram's door, to Jehoram's bewilderment, notifying him that Yahweh was so displeased with his actions that he was going to die a terrible death.
Elijah died, as all men do (except for those who will be present at Yahoshua's Parousia) (1 Cor. 15 & 1 Thes. 4). Men desire to be in Heaven, the minute they die, but Yahweh does not teach this doctrine. These men are described in 2 Timothy 4:3 - 4, which states, "...the healthful teaching, they will not endure, but, according to their own covetings, will, unto themselves, heap up teachers, because they have an itching ear, And, from the truth, indeed, their ear, will they turn away, while, unto stories, they will turn themselves aside" (2 Ti. 4:3-4). (Yahweh gave us a whole chapter dealing with this subject, which is 1 Corinthians 15.) Enoch, Elijah and Moses are asleep, awaiting their egeiro (awakening), which will occur at the Resurrection of the Just (Lk. 14:14).

Abstract: The problem of making sequential decisions in unknown probabilistic environments is studied. In cycle t action yt results in perception xt and reward rt, where all quantities in general may depend on the complete history. The perception xt and reward rt are sampled from the environmental probability distribution . Sequential decision theory tells us how to act in order to maximize the total expected reward, called value, if is known. Reinforcement learning is usually used if is unknown. In the Bayesian approach one defines a mixture distribution as a weighted sum of distributions M, where M is any class of distributions including the true environment . We show that the Bayes-optimal policy p based on the mixture is self-optimizing in the sense that the average value converges asymptotically for all M to the optimal value achieved by the (infeasible) Bayes-optimal policy p which knows in advance. We show that the necessary assumption that M admits self-optimizing policies at all, is also sufficient. No other structural assumptions are made on M. Furthermore, we show that p is Pareto-optimal in the sense that there is no other policy yielding higher or equal value in all environments M and a strictly higher value in at least one.
decision processes, which allow for self-optimizing policies.

The short answer is to go to www.osha.gov and use their search engine to find guidance on this type flooring. A little bit longer answer follows. Asbestos at one time was hailed as a miracle fiber used in not only flooring but also insulation. When we refer to VAT we mean vinyl asbestos tile which usually comes in nine inch squares. The history of this type flooring was that it was a mix of vinyl and asbestos fibers that had proven to provide better durability than regular linoleum floors that had been used before. After a few years, it was determined that this type floor could release the very tiny fibers and when ingested, could result in illnesses related to asbestos contamination including mesothelioma (a form of lung cancer). It was banned from further use and the floor product was replaced by other products including VCT (vinyl composite tiles) that did not contain asbestos and actually proved to be more durable as well.
You and your vendor must follow OSHA guidelines on stripping, scrubbing and maintaining these floors. You do not want to direct the vendor to ignore those guidelines since it could not only endanger the health of tenants and custodial workers in the building but could open up all kinds of liability issues. Although I am certainly not an expert on this type flooring, I encourage you to seriously consider asbestos remediation (complete removal by qualified professionals) or at least covering it with either VCT or carpet. When covered correctly, this can reduce exposure and protect everyone involved, including yourself.
Asbestos should be taken seriously. Please consult with experts in this area and go to www.osha.gov for clear guidance.

1991 Lotus Elan, my dream car. I first saw this car in the flesh at the 1990 Los Angeles Auto Show and I fell in love with it. The car at the show was this shade of yellow and this may be the same exact car. Only 550 cars were imported in model year 1991 and only a few in yellow. Most of the cars imported were a lovely shade of red, a few were British racing green, some white, very few in a beautiful Pacific blue and rarest of them all, black. The car retailed for $40,000 new and sells for $15,000 to $20,000 now depending upon mileage and condition. If I could afford it, I would buy this car today.
I had the good fortune to test drive this car in great condition in Prescott, Arizona. The car was owned by a retired LA police officer and had been purchased new by a vice president of General Motors when GM owned Lotus. Then it was priced at $16,500 and came with about a foot of documentation including parts and shop manuals. The car was British racing green and was a blast to drive. Elan means passion or enthusiasm or stylish elegance, and the Lotus Elan is all of them. It gets great gas mileage and possesses a four-cylinder Isuzu engine for parts availability.
When my wife and I married in 1976, we owned a 1976 Corvette. Driving that car was like being launched from a giant slingshot. Pressing the accelerator at a stoplight when it changed to green was to be shot out of a cannon. Moments later, the other cars at the light would dwindle to toys in the rear view mirror. We traded that car for 1977 Ferrari 308-GTB. Driving that car was an entirely different experience. It was like being strapped into a rocket sled used to test rocket engines in the 1950s. Rockets gain momentum initially very slowly and then they just disappear because the acceleration is so great. The Ferrari was slow out of the gate, but then when the engine approached 4000 rpm, it just went.
The Corvette we owned was an automatic transmission, while the Ferrari was a manual and the Lotus is also a manual transmission. If asked to describe these cars in one word each, I would describe the Corvette as exhilarating, the Ferrari as serious and the Lotus as fun.

How Can Students Manage Their Budgets Better In College?
For many people, college is a major milestone in independence. This can be a lot of fun – you finally get a taste of real adulthood, going wherever you want and doing whatever you want. However, this independence also means that you have to worry about budgeting your money. In the case that this is a new concept to you, it can be overwhelming to say the least. In this article, we are going to look at tips that you can use to manage your budget accordingly in college.
Before we start, though, it is important to note that budgeting can be stressful when you are pairing it with all the work and stress that already exists in college life. However, you aren’t alone in your stress and there are many resources available to you.
Students can often find themselves struggling in college to keep up academically since there is always something better to do than homework. When that happens and the school library can’t provide the essay help you need, consider trying this writing service so you can enjoy some quiet down time.
The basics of budgeting might seem like a simple idea but they are worth going over. Especially since recent studies have shown that as many as 51% of college students stated that they had no financial education in college and 30% noted that their parents hadn’t taught them much in the way of finances.
So, there are two main aspects of basic budgeting: know what you need to spend and know how much you make.
By understanding how much you make versus how much you spend, you can plan accordingly for what you have left over. When doing this, it is best to consider what you have to buy – like groceries or rent if you live off-campus – before you budget in what you want to buy.
When you start college, this budget can focus on the expenses you have at hand. As you get the hang of it, though, you should try to budget ahead. After all, if you have a bit of a plan to tackle the debt that comes with college you will be better prepared to handle it.
The Associated Press recently released a statistic that stated that two-thirds of Americans would seriously struggle to come up with $1,000 in the case of an emergency.
While $1,000 might be a high benchmark, it is best to set some money aside as savings, just in case. This way, if you come down sick or you have a semester where your textbook bill is a little higher, you are prepared to deal with these expenses as they come.
College is also, for many, the first chance to build your credit. Many students, though, try to avoid credit cards with 51% stating they don’t think they need one and a staggering 47% afraid of the debt it could cause them.
However, you can build credit without holding your own credit card, if you are afraid of using one. For example, paying your loans on time or becoming an authorized user on someone else’s credit card – like a parent’s – can help to build your credit.
If you do use a credit card, there are a couple things you should do, though. When you keep these in mind, a credit card is more likely to be a useful tool in your budget rather than a vehicle for future financial struggles.
Be sure to make your payments on time. The fastest way to rack up debt and hurt your credit is to miss your minimum monthly payments.
Don’t spend more than you can handle. Remember you will have to eventually pay your purchases off – usually with interest – so make sure you are prepared for that the next time you make a big purchase.
To avoid fees and negative results, try not to close credit card accounts prematurely.
If you are an international student, you might have additional concerns to worry about. For example, you are definitely going to need to consider where you are going to live as commuting definitely isn’t an option. There are a couple things that can help you out, though.
First, you are going to want to check into the university that you are attending’s financial aid options for international students. These financial aid packages can help you to afford your school related costs such as textbooks, tuition, and even housing if you choose to live on campus.
You should also take into consideration the difference in the value of money between your home country and the country you are moving to. After all, if you are saving up for your first semester abroad and you don’t take into account that money has different values in different countries, you might be disappointed when you don’t have as much as you thought when your money is exchanged.
When it comes down to it, the main idea behind budgeting while you are in college to plan ahead. The best thing you can do is to know how much you are making and generally how much you need to spend.
However, you should also be prepared for the unexpected. In the end, though, learning to budget is just one of many life lessons that college will teach you. Just keep these steps in mind and you’ll get the hang of budgeting in no time.

"From the first day I picked up a camera, the natural world has fascinated me more than anything else in life. I still have one of my first photos. It is of a very tame magpie standing on the open door frame of our laundry. As I took the photo it looked at me with this slightly turned head as if to say "Yeah? And what the hell are you doing?". I was so proud of it. I think I was 6.
As I grew up and became too old for bedtime stories my Dad would bring a National Geographic mag to me and say, right. What do you want to learn about tonight? Planets or the Serengeti? And so begun my almost obsessive fascination with National Geographic magazines and Landscape and Wildlife Photography.
I feel a deep love and respect for our natural world and believe in protecting it and doing everything I can to ensure my son grows up in a world that is still as beautiful as I've seen it during my life. I want it to mean just as much to him to feel connected to it and love and care for it, as it has to me.

TWO former NRL stars recently returned to their old stamping ground at North Rockhampton State High School for a special NAIDOC Week celebration.
Sid Domic and Matt Sing reminisced about failing biology together, playing high school footy together, playing on opposing NRL teams, then finishing off their footy careers in England.
But of all the things they have learnt in life so far, both wished they had studied that little bit harder at school, or just listened a little in biology.
The pair spoke with indigenous students of the school about studying hard and encouraged students to follow their dreams.
"We've come from the same area and the same backgrounds; there is no reason they can't achieve what we have," said Sid, who is now a teacher's assistant running sporting programs in Bundaberg.
Matt, who works at Gracemere and lives in Yeppoon with his family, echoed Sid's words.
"If you get an opportunity, you've just got to take it," he said.
Student and football hopeful Jerron Wagg listened intently to everything the pair had to say.
He and his mates discussed with Sid and Matt what it was like playing top-grade football, hoping he might one day be able to share the same advice with future students.

If the eruption continues, it will likely create a logistical nightmare for the local communities, whose livelihoods depend on the surrounding farmland.
74,000 people have been evacuated from the eight kilometre danger zone surrounding the volcano so far. Livestock is also being evacuated in the hope of protecting the livelihood of the local population.
According to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, sulphur dioxide gas emissions have been measured at an average of 1,916 tons a day. The institute also reports that continuous GPS measurements show that there has been sustained swelling and inflation under the volcano since October which is "consistent with pressurisation by magmatic intrusion".
The Mount Mayon volcano lies in the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire region, covering Japan, Indonesia and California. Being home to 90 per cent of the world's volcanos, volcanic activity is common on this 25,000 mile perimeter. But, in the past few weeks, the region has been particularly active with the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reductions reporting a 7.9 magnitude earthquake in Alaska, and a 5.3 magnitude earthquake in Jakarta, Indonesia. However, so far, Mount Mayon stands as the most dramatic display of the Earth's awesome power.

Sometimes, the professionals within your team may be qualified, experienced and competent in their roles but try as you might to identify it, an essential ingredient seems to be missing, that elusive element that will help to make them shine. That elusive element is called social polish.
Social polish is the level of ease a professional feels in interactions with others, how adept they are at making conversation and the confidence they have in anticipating, approaching and resolving needs. A professional with social polish has a poised demeanour in every situation and it is this attitude and way of behaving that reassures their clients, customers and colleagues that the professional is both in control and capable.
Many assume that social polish is a skill that we all naturally possess, but this is not always the case particularly when professionals may have focused on their technical skills or academic qualifications, or have had limited exposure to a certain environment. In many cases, those lacking in social polish will avoid the elements of their position that involve interacting with others, further exacerbating the problem and hindering their career advancement.
Social Polish for Professionals enables individuals to present themselves and their capabilities in the best possible light, instilling a level of knowledge and understanding in how to navigate the social aspects of their role successfully.
Learning to overcome the terror of the awkward silence! Everyone fears it, some consider it a waste of time while others believe it is an essential skill.
Being confident in the art of small talk smooths the path to making guests feel comfortable and at ease.
Learn to decipher and understand non-verbal communication. It is a useful skill to understand the body language of others.
It is an essential skill to understand our own body language. The smallest unconscious gesture can change the entire meaning of an interaction.
The art of diplomacy is an important tool in putting others at ease, it calms ruffled feathers.
It is a skill that allows the user to steer awkward conversations and uncomfortable situations into safer waters.
Grooming is an important element in how others perceive us. The way we look and how well groomed we are instils trust in others of our abilities.
It sets us apart as luxury experts and professionals who are confident in our abilities and knowledge.
Understanding different cultures and how they communicate is an essential skill needed by all luxury professionals.

Lifebuoy has been campaigning and raising fund for better sanitary and hygiene, particularly in Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT), one of the province in Indonesia with the highest rate of deaths from preventable diseases, such as diarrhea and pneumonia, statistically speaking of course. But as you know "statistic" and the campaign "wording" can raise controversy. In December 2013, the aired TV spot for the campaign has sparked some controversy from local government. NTT officials had stated that the "help a child reach 5" slogan was insulting, saying that it's degrading their life situation (read: no, we're not that dirty). In Lifebuoy's defense, they are stating that they used proven statistic data published by national health department, which showed NTT has 71% deaths of 1000 births in NTT are caused by diarrhea. Truth aside, as a graphic designer, I am mostly challenged with advertising issue on daily basis. And if you ask me, yes, a single word, choice of colors, models, etc, can cause huge impacts, either positively or negatively. Even if your intentions are noble and well, with a slightly unfortunate wording it could all go wrong.
Remember the fit mom with a post baby body, Maria Kang? Well if you need your memory refreshed, she's your daily mom, not a professional athlete or a celebrity (when the photo was published), who post her toned body picture alongside her 3 boys, aged three, two years old, and 8 months old, respectively on her Facebook account. So.... what made the internet crowds tick? Above her picture, there it is, a letter in (perhaps) bold arial font, "What's your excuses?" As predetermined, her post became an internet controversy. Most of the readers said the picture (and subsequently, Maria herself) is mocking them for being fat after having a baby. Well, she's starting a website about health and fitness, so I guess there's no such thing as bad publicity in a brand promotion, but if she would have want a "nicer, more approachable" public message, she should have gone with, "if I can do this, you can too", or "Don't give up yet, I'm the proof!". See. The once insulting picture become very motivational instead. With just one sentence.

Three years passed before the Theban exiles, encouraged by Pelopidas, formed a plot to deliver their city from the Spartans.
They were helped in their plans by Phyllidas, a Theban who had stayed in the city and become secretary to the Spartan governors Archias and Philippus. He had taken this position under the enemy that he might be able the better to help his own countrymen. He agreed with Pelopidas that the time to act had now come.
Epaminondas was also in Thebes, but he would have nothing to do with the plot. He would fight when the time for fighting came, but to slay even tyrants unawares was not to his liking.
Pelopidas and six other exiles did not share the scruples of Epaminondas. They disguised themselves as farmers or country folk, and one evening reaching Thebes as it began to grow dark, they slipped one by one at different times into the city. They then found their way to the house of a citizen named Charon, who had promised to shelter them.
Snow was falling and the streets were nearly deserted, so that the return of the exiles was unnoticed.
On the following day, Archias and Philippus were to be present at a great banquet. Phyllidas, the secretary, had promised to bring to the feast seven beautiful Theban women. He told no one that the promised guests were the seven exiles, who had resolved to don a second disguise to enable them to be present at the banquet.
The day of the feast passed slowly for the conspirators, but at length evening came, and the exiles were putting on the garments that were to make them appear like beautiful women, when a loud knock came to the door.
Already the long day had tried them sorely, and the knock filled them with foreboding.
When the door was opened their hearts beat quicker, for there stood a soldier who bade Charon come to the banqueting hall without delay.
Had Charon betrayed them? The exiles looked uncertainly one at the other. Then they grew ashamed of their distrust and bade their host hasten to Archias to allay his suspicions, if indeed they had been aroused.
But the exiles protested, and truly, that they trusted him well and needed no such hostage, while Pelopidas bade him take the child back to his nurse.
Then Charon, staying only to ask the help of the gods, hastened to the banqueting hall.
'Who are they? Where are they hidden?' asked Charon. For he wished to find out how much Archias knew.
But Archias knew nothing. It was but a rumour that had reached him.
Archias was glad to leave the matter to Charon, for he was impatient to go back to the feast. So Charon hastened back to his house to tell Pelopidas and his comrades that their fears were needless, for Archias suspected nothing.
But although Charon did not know it, a letter was at that moment being placed in the hands of Archias that might easily have ruined both him and the conspirators. For it told Archias the whole plot, as well as the names of those who were to take part in it.
But Archias could think of nothing that night save the banquet and the beautiful Theban women, who should now soon arrive.
Thrusting the letter unopened under the cushion on which his head rested, Archias cried, a smile upon his face, 'Urgent business to-morrow.' And these words were ever after used as a proverb by the Greeks.
The conspirators had now reached the hall. Their beautiful dresses were wide and loose, for beneath their splendour they wore armour. On their heads were garlands of pine and fir, so that their faces might not be seen.
Archias and his guests clapped their hands gleefully. Here at last were the beautiful Theban women whose presence Phyllidas had promised should grace the banquet.
But in a moment the conspirators had torn off their disguise. Archias and Philippus were slain almost before they had time to realise their danger, while the guests who had rushed to their aid were also put to death.
Pelopidas and his comrades then hastened to the house of Leontiades. But he heard them knocking at the door, and when they rushed into his room a few seconds later, he met them with his sword drawn, and slew the first man who entered.
A terrible struggle then took place between Leontiades and Pelopidas, but at length the traitor was wounded to death.
The conspirators then ran to the prison, ordered the gates to be opened, and the prisoners to be set free and armed, for their only crime had been loyalty to their city.
As day began to dawn, troops from Athens poured into the city to help the Thebans. The Spartans fought fiercely, but after a few days the garrison was forced to surrender, and once again Thebes was free.
The grateful citizens then assembled in the market-place, where the priests crowned Pelopidas and Charon, while the people appointed them governors of the city.

Popular elements of the show including detailed period displays will stay the same for the October show, whilst the military display will be added to with a new arena, dedicated to mock battles, period demonstrations and parades.
The biggest change will be the addition of an entire area dedicated to everything vintage.
This area, to be known as the Liberators Vintage Lifestyle Event, is the result of a cooperation between the airfield and Cherry Betty, a leading name in the local vintage community, headed by Nicky Reynolds.
Show organiser Matt Wilkins is delighted with the progress the event is making.
“We have been overwhelmed by the positive feedback,” he said.

Graeme also bulling me about my kit when I stopped to re-adjust my panniers, he said that if id been one of his men when he was a Corporal in the Marines he would of kicked my backside. We arrive in Walsingham lots of religious shops and tourists all along the way. We had noticed lanes blocked and farm machinery in field gates obviously to dissuade the religious fanatics.
Lots of wisecracks in Walsingham Graeme falling of his bike and shouting" Jesus Christ." Colin saying we should be alright here we wont have to lock the bikes. After a look round we cycle on through a ford. 4 retakes of Colin splashing through the water, getting wetter every time, while Graeme photographed saying faster this time a bigger splash would look good.
12noon We cycle the short detour to Wells - next - the -sea. What a lovely little place we stop and buy some multipurpose oil and I buy a windmill then down to the Lovely sea front.
While Colin services the bikes, Graeme and me enjoy a couple of pints and fresh prawns off the front, watch the world go by and the boats going up and down the channel .We are there a couple of hours sun shining very relaxing it felt like we were on holiday.
your money on the table and Lesley serves you. A real old fashioned pub full of Nelson nostalgia. The old chap in the pub chatted about local life told us we'd cycled the dry road from Wells so called because there were no pubs, the coast road is called the wet road because it has pubs. Chatted about cricket, the pub took a couple of photos signed the visitors book Graeme signed Cpl Brass 40th Commando due to Nelsons liking of the Royal Marines.
We then cycled to Burnham Market an small up market town.

get a ride round the housing estates of these towns.
Peterborough. Colin then informed us he didn't like Pizza much anyway, we ended up having a decent Indian and pint on the way back to the dig's and cut our losses.

Another house that attempts to respond to where it is, is the Glenstrae Road house.
This house sits on a saddle with stunning views both down to the estuary and Pacific Ocean one way, and the city with the Southern Alps in the distance the other.
An earthquake rebuild gave the chance to rethink the design of the previous house.
Instead of a single larger block, the rebuilt structure was split into two blocks with a three-level glass fronted atrium between, sitting on a local rock wall base.
Being on a ridge the design attempted to be reminiscent of the crags and stone buttresses that punctuate the skyline of the crater rim behind, in an abstracted form.
By digging in to form the garage and entry, this cut was clad in stone as if exposing the rocky bedrock beneath the surface.
Also, instead of the floor to ceiling panoramic glass rooms so common as a response to breath-taking views, this house frames the view from the rooms inside with strongly outlined windows.
Very vertical with interesting views and connections between all of its three levels via the central atrium, it feels like a house on the hill climbing up and down and full of intrigue.
As a pair of connected masonary towers built and engineered to last, it is a haven to shelter and live inside on the hills, and view and enjoy the impressive surroundings all around through dramatic picture windows.

Scott Stapp's New Album "Proof of Life"
Driven by unbridled passions and haunted by ghosts that defy definition, the great rockers keep getting better, stronger, more determined to get it right. Proof of Life is proof that Scott Stapp is among the great rockers. It’s also proof that this time he’s gotten it right.
“I made up my mind to face myself as a man and an artist. This record is my first no-holds-barred statement of exactly who I am” Stapp says. That statement is simultaneously simple and complex. The simple message is a straight-up confirmation of Stapp’s prowess as rock and roller of the first rank. He’s alive and kicking, singing with greater grit than ever before. The self-portrait emerging from this extraordinary suite of songs is multi-layered and nuanced, the compelling drama of a man unflinchingly reexamining his past as he fights for his spiritual sanity.
The music—hard-edged, explosive, fiercely spontaneous and emotionally super-charged—frames the story of Stapp’s remarkable journey, beginning with his long relationship with Creed.
With the publication in 2012 of Sinner’s Creed, his autobiography, Scott detailed his struggles with drugs, alcohol and depression. It paved the way for Proof of Life.

In April we announced that we're buying DoubleClick, a leading company in the ad serving business. When we made this announcement, we gave some of our reasons. But because online advertising is complicated, I thought I'd step back a bit and offer some more context. If you're an expert, please bear with me, as some of what follows will seem elementary to those already familiar with the online advertising world. If you're not, I hope this gives you a better understanding of how advertisers, publishers, ad serving companies, agencies and other companies such as Google all fit into this exciting new mix.
In the earliest years, online ads were simple banner ads on websites. Advertisers would purchase these banner ads for those sites their customers would likely visit. A tire company, for example, would place banner ads on sites for automobile enthusiasts.
An innovation followed: Text-based ads targeted at search. Type “drip irrigation” into a search engine and up pop ads, or “sponsored links,” to gardening service and supply companies. This development made online advertising accessible to small advertisers for the first time. According to a May 2007 IAB (Interactive Advertising Bureau) study called the "Internet Advertising Revenue Report," text-based search ads now account for 40 percent of online ads. Google, Yahoo! and MSN are the leaders in managing this category of text-based ads.
The same IAB study notes that display ads account for roughly another 40 percent of online ad sales. Unlike text ads, these may incorporate 3-D graphics, full-motion video, sound and user interactivity. And the remaining 20 percent consists of other categories such as email, classified and lead-generation ads.
Three portals – AOL, Yahoo! and MSN – lead the industry in display ads. Each has more than $1 billion in annual display ad revenue. Content sites such as CNET and ESPN.com are also in the game. Google, however, has been a minor player in display advertising.
Meanwhile, ad serving companies such as DoubleClick, Atlas, and MediaPlex have been helping advertisers get their ads onto these sites and measure how effective the ads are. Since Google has never played in this space, acquiring DoubleClick will enable us to complement our search and content-based advertising capabilities. Its products and technologies will help to improve online advertising for consumers, advertisers and publishers.
By enabling our AdSense network to work with DoubleClick’s delivery mechanisms, for example, advertisers can obtain more precise metrics in order to judge the effectiveness of their campaigns. The combination of the technologies and expertise of Google and DoubleClick will help publishers better monetize their unsold inventory, thus helping to fuel the creation of even more rich and diverse content on the Internet.
As you might expect, ad serving is the act of serving, or delivering, ads to websites. Google and DoubleClick play different but complementary roles in online advertising. Google primarily sells ads, and DoubleClick delivers (serves) ads. The relationship between Google and DoubleClick is analogous to the relationship between Amazon.com and Federal Express. Amazon.com makes money by selling a book to the consumer. Federal Express makes money by delivering it to the consumer.
For some perspective on the relative size of the ad serving business versus the online ad sales business, some industry estimates put the latter, globally, at about $20-30 billion. According to various eMarketer studies (available by subscription), estimates of ad serving, on the other hand, are many times smaller -- probably 20 times smaller, or even less.
There are two types of ad-serving products: publisher and advertiser-agency. Publishers use ad-serving products to manage how and when the ads they have sold appear in their websites. For example, will the ad appear on the front page of the site, or on a subsequent page? The process of placing the ad on the appropriate page and in the appropriate size is managed by the publisher’s ad server.
In addition to placing ads in the right location at the right time, ad servers report on the performance of the ads. This is an absolutely vital function. Real-time performance reporting enables advertisers and agencies to change the content, and timing of ads almost on the fly. The value to the advertiser-agency of an ad-serving company such as DoubleClick is having a single place to measure and report on all online campaigns for ads that run on different sites across the web.
Google makes money primarily by selling text-based ads to advertisers and their agencies. These are displayed on Google.com and partner sites through our AdSense program. We get paid when consumers click on the ads.
DoubleClick is in the ad-serving business and has two primary products. DART for Advertisers is an ad server that gives advertisers/agencies the tools to plan, deliver and report on their online ads. DART for Publishers gives publishers the tools to place ads on their site, optimize them, and assess placement to make the best use of their ad inventory. For the most part, DoubleClick is paid by advertisers and publishers to serve and report on ads. These are two vital and interrelated functions. Allowing agencies and advertisers to deliver ads in the right context and monitor their effectiveness maximizes the return on investment for a given ad or campaign. Ultimately, this leads to better and more relevant ads for the consumer.
DoubleClick's products and technology are complementary to our search and and content-based text advertising business, and give us new opportunities to improve online advertising for consumers, advertisers and publishers.
Historically, we've not allowed third parties to serve into Google's AdSense network, which has made it hard for advertisers to get performance metrics. Together, Google and DoubleClick can deliver a more open platform for advertisers, and provide the metrics they need to manage marketing campaigns.
By combining Google's infrastructure with DoubleClick's knowledge of agencies and publishers, we can create the next generation of more innovative ad serving technology, one that significantly improves the efficiency and effectiveness of online advertising.
To manage ad inventory, some of the largest publishers use DoubleClick DART for Publishers – but a good portion of it goes unsold. It's our view that the combination of DoubleClick and Google will help these publishers succeed by monetizing their unsold inventory.
We believe DoubleClick can help Google deliver better, more relevant display ads, which improves the online experience of consumers. From a technical perspective, Google will also be able to get web pages to load faster by reducing latency from ad servers. Publishers will benefit by making more money from remnant inventory and – as has been the case with other technologies we've acquired – we hope to make ad serving more accessible. Smaller publishers would get access to DoubleClick's ad serving technology, enabling them to better compete in the global marketplace.
Advertisers and agencies will benefit, too. AdSense will support certain ad tags so advertisers will be able to use a broader selection of formats in our ad network, improving ad relevance. And the experience for advertisers will be more efficient, because there will be an ad server that provides consolidated reporting and management of display ads on all properties and networks. More generally, we'll be able to use our technology and record of innovation to improve the quality of existing products in the marketplace. We intend to invest heavily in R&D and product development to respond to the demand from publishers, advertisers and agencies for better tools.
In short, Google’s acquisition of DoubleClick will benefit all parties in the online advertising business, including advertisers, publishers, agencies and, most importantly, consumers.
