To cap off a big year of celebrations in honor of its 70th anniversary, the Symphony Orchestra of Chile will set off on a national tour in December with a special emphasis on home grown music.
The series of free concerts will include educational sessions and open performances for the general public.
Led by acclaimed conductor David del Pino Klinge, the orchestra will visit La Unión, Osorno, Puerto Montt, Temuco, La Serena and Coquimbo before returning to Santiago for a free grand finale at the Quinta Normal Metro station.
The diverse concert program will feature iconic pieces from noted Chilean composers, such as Enrique Soro's Danza Fantástica and Jorge Urrutia Blondel's Pastoral de Alhué, along with pieces from world-renowned composers like Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in A major.
The orchestra will also play Rimsky-Korsakov's Spanish Caprice and selected movements from Aram Khachaturian's ballet, Gayaneh.
"We are very happy because it means we are finishing off this 70th anniversary year by celebrating with regional audiences who don't normally have the opportunity to hear us," orchestra concert master Alberto Dourthé said in a statement.
Organized by the Universidad de Chile's Cultural and Artistic Extension Center (CEAC), the tour has received funding from the Education Ministry's Institutional Development Fund (MINEDUC) and the municipalities that will host the events.
"In recent years, our orchestra has expanded its repertoire with a focus on promoting [Chilean] composers and developing new audiences," said CEAC Director Ernesto Ottone Ramirez.
"For this anniversary year, the orchestra has renewed its commitment to our public service calling by equitably spreading musical education to the regions."

[Sticky] Club Tour discussion
Hi Everyone,
At our August meeting we decided mixing up the traditional club tour route, date and location would be something worth considering. Traditionally it was always on the first weekend of October, but this doesn't have to be the case.
Some suggestions for this were to look at exploring a route towards Camden or Picton.
We usually cover 150km each way on our tour and leaving from the clubhouse is preferred but not completely necessary.
If you have any ideas for routes, destinations and accommodation please discuss!

Choose the best Earphones for Jogging
There is a wide selection of headsets on the market, therefore it may be difficult to find the best ones to suit your needs. In case you need headphones you can use while you are jogging, though, there is a handful of features you'll prefer to try to find. You will want to ensure they're cozy, user friendly, and that also they'll always be safer to work with when you are jogging. Sport Headphones are available in a variety of price ranges, thus you will be capable of finding something that fits your own budget very easily.
Running Headphones need to be comfy thus you may prefer to try out the actual earphones prior to buying one. Many individuals choose bluetooth earphones because they will not have all of the wires that different headsets have. This is perfect for exercising, because you don't have to be concerned with the wire connections becoming snarled whilst you are jogging. Be sure the headphones fit perfectly in your ear, of course, and that the over the ear part is comfortable also. It is crucial that your Workout Headphones are really easy to utilize too. You shouldn't be required to stop your exercise routine to modify your earphones or even alter all the electrical wires just because they're in the way. You really should search for headsets that permit you to change the volume level without needing to take out the phone or other product so that you can do it quickly when you're running.
In regards to Sports Headphones, safety is going to be a top issue. Many earphones these days contain noise cancelling technology so you're able to listen to them without hearing all the backdrop sounds when you're at your home. While you're jogging, specifically if you jog on a road, you are going to wish to make certain you stay away from this feature. You'll need to be in the position to hear in case a car or truck is coming behind you or if perhaps there may be another person close by, but Noise Cancelling Headphones will certainly obstruct these sounds. If you're in the gym, however, you might be able to put on these types of headphones safely and securely if you become aware of your actual surroundings.
With Athletic Headphones, these are a few of the major details you will prefer to search for while you're purchasing. Take your time to discover a pair that is going to fit properly and be cozy when you are training or perhaps running. Make sure you keep safe practices under consideration when you're looking for the ideal earphones to wear and be sure you will stay within your own price range. You will be able to find a pair of headphones which includes just about all of these types of features without getting too costly.

Jobless and Searching, for Myself.
It's not everyday you come across another person with the same career path as you when your job involves being jobless and searching for yourself. It's kinda magical when you do. It's like dog food for my ego just knowing that there are other people out there just as foolish as me with the same job description. There's something exultingly enjoyable watching my bank account drain as I live life like most people would feel ashamed to do so. No I'm not ashamed, I'm proud of this decision.
I originally wrote this as a post to help you find yourself but something felt way off. I'm in no position to tell anyone else what to do, all I can share is what I have done and my experiences and feelings there from. I'm not here to preach to you what to do with your life, but if you're curious to explore what you could do if you left your job then read on.
Finding my Compass
The first few weeks of being jobless were exciting just as the first few days of summer after the final school bell rang signaling freedom. Like all stretches of ecstasy, whether brought on by summer break or ecstasy, they wane with time and just like with having 3 months of no school you find yourself confronted with the eternal question "Well what do I do now?" I took upon starting another project immediately upon leaving my previous one which kept me busy 40% of the time. And I still had too much time, no compass, no pressing activities beyond my hobbies which included: reading, studying Russian and exercising all while smoking pot…
I was jobless and searching. One morning I woke up early, as I usually did, and started reading articles on the toilet recommended by Pocket, as I usually did. I came across one in particular – How to Invest In Yourself. This one article taught me how to build my compass for the next 26 years. 99% of the time when an article tells me to take out pen and paper, I say "yea, OK", too lazy to force my body to follow instructions, but this time I was jobless and truly had nothing better to do than to spend 3 hours creating a list of 104 things that I am dying to do in the next 26 years (technically you're only supposed to think up 100 but I overshot).
The TL;DR; of this article is:
Sit down with pen & paper -> Spend a couple of hours writing down 100 things that you want to do/accomplish in the next 25 years categorized by: a) Things you can do immediately like sky dive or try ayahuasca. b) Things that take a while like learning Estonian, and c) Things that require a skill like build a treehouse or win a salsa competition. Once you have your list, refine it over the next 2 weeks and if you can do 4 a year then you'll have time to make a new one in 25 years!
No Job Doesn't Mean No Job
It just means I'm not earning money. I'm lucky that I'm not stupid to the core. I have some money saved up that I didn't earn via begging my parents, though I won't turn down a free meal when they offer. I think it's important to stay busy with work even if I don't have an income. Who knows maybe someone will read this blog a decade from now and fancy it enough to donate a donut, but I'm actually writing because it's on my compass list. Also to spite my adolescent self which never-ever got a good grade on a paper, I want to learn to write not poopily (I think that's a word).
My job right now is survival and until I accidentally gamble away all my money and apartment on a gerbil race in the streets of Colombia, I have at least a half-year no problem. With that said my mind is on making a buck but not the way that way my parents and professors recommended after graduating college. I've had quite the opportunity to experiment with making a money/starting a business.
Since then I built Living Lesson and earned more money testing that business model in 2 weeks than I did in 17 months with my last startup. Next I got into Amazon FBA and tried private labeling bluetooth speakers from China and selling them via Amazon until I realized the deals you get for electronics from Chinese factories are shit compared to what well established retailers are selling. Hence I'm using the knowledge I got from that experience to work with T-shirt factories in Poland to produce shirts with my designs which I'll soon release in Lithuania (where I currently am).
Still Jobless and Searching and Curious…
You're priorities suddenly change when you have all the time in the world. It's true you don't appreciate it as much as when 60% of your days consist of either sitting at work, or commuting to & from it but I have time to explore new career opportunities and dark caves all the same!
As a one-time developer I can say that web developers are naturally curious, about web development, especially when your surrounded by them. When you're in the mix, it's hard to open your mind to what's outside of the mix. It reminds me of a comic I recently heard that goes like:
A starfish asks a sponge "If you could be anything in the world, what would you be?" The sponge things long and hard "Anything? I would be a barnacle."
I can relate to that sponge when I was working full-time and for all I know now I'm no more than the figurative barnacle. Now that I know that I was in a box and now I'm in a slightly bigger box, I'm dying to know what I'm failing to see. I'm grateful because this blog is an excuse for me to go out and do what I haven't done before. I'm in a feedback cycle of my choosing.
On Happiness
I recently got into the book Stumbling on Happiness which goes into detail about how we perceive happiness in ourselves and misperceive how two twins adjoined at the forehead could truly be happy. Or how them getting a birthday cake could give them as much happiness as you or I winning a $100 gift card. Happiness is immeasurable as far as I can tell. With that said I'm not going to bother convincing myself that I was unhappy at my last full-time job working at Thrillist since it's impossible to accurately convey that. I was earning a butt-ton of money but we all know the saying
It's been a long summer break for me and my new jobless friend and we're still jobless and searching but there's one thing that we can certainly agree upon. We're both happy and I for one cannot remember a happier 5 months of my life. I don't expect to have found myself anytime in the near future but it's never about the finding but the journey.
Your outer journey may contain a million steps; your inner journey only has one: the step you are taking right now. – Eckhart Tolle

A replica of the "Nike of Samothrace" – the class of 1892's gift for the William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library's grand opening in 1913 – was announced nearly 100 years ago in The Lantern, and while the original replica is no longer standing, its essence has been restored.
The statue, also known as the "Winged Victory of Samothrace" was located in Thompson's Reference Hall, though it had to be removed in the '50s because it became a safety hazard. As part of Thompson's restoration in 2009 the Reference Hall, now the Grand Reading Room, was also restored. A new replica was built to accompany the restoration.
According to Lantern archives, the donation for the approximately $23,000 sculpture was part of the $30 million private fundraising project for the renovation.
For comparison, the original replica cost about $500, and the library about $600,000, according to Lantern archives.
"Winged Victory," which depicts the goddess of Nike in the form of a winged-woman, originally stood on the bow of a warship to commemorate a naval victory. The marble statue, sculpted in Hellenistic style around the second century B.C., was found by excavators in 1863 and is now kept at the Louvre Museum in Paris, one of the world's largest museums.
After their 20-year reunion, many members of the class of 1892 said they had an obligation to give back to the university. Knowing that Thompson Library was under construction, they made plans to commission a cast of the "Winged Victory," and it was installed within six months of the library's opening, according to Lantern archives.
But by 1953, the statue's state became alarming to the then-director of libraries, and he campaigned for its removal, said Wesley Boomgaarden, administrator of the libraries' preservation program. OSU removed the statue in 1959.
"It was taken out and discarded because of deterioration and perceived danger in letting it stand (in the library) 15 feet in the air and maybe a chunk falling on some student's head," said William Studer, OSU's director of libraries from 1977-1999, who lobbied for the return of a restored statue.
New students attending OSU had little or no knowledge of the statue and its history with OSU for almost 50 years.
"I think the people who know this building from 1965 to 2006, most of those people had no knowledge of the statue. It was gone, it wasn't missed," Boomgaarden said.
During this period, Studer discovered pictures of the original "Winged Victory" and, once renovation was discussed, advocated for the statue to be included and worked to make it affordable.
"When it was clear that the library was going to be renovated in a major, major way, I lobbied very hard that we put the statue back to try and recall the original Grand Reading Room," he said.
Thompson Library's renovation was finished in 2009, and the library was a mix of old and new, adapting to the future while preserving some historic value, such as the original Reference Hall. Larry Allen, OSU libraries communications coordinator, said there was a lot of interest using the building how it was originally intended to be used.
"The east side of the building now is a very traditional library space and (the Grand Reading Room) is probably the most traditional thing you're going to find," he said.
This method of renovation included the "Winged Victory." The spirit of the sculpture has been preserved, but the materials were changed. The statue is made of a resin material, making it lighter and more durable than typical sculptures, Boomgaarden said.
Karol Wells, a 1958 graduate who paid for the new version of the statue, said it elicited awe, power and a sense of immortality.
"It was breathtaking because it was so huge," she said. "It's just magnificent."
While the "Winged Victory" was not the focus of the renovation, it is a focal point of the room.
"Clearly the room would be the room without the statue. It would still be a wonderful, wonderful place, but the statue was just that punctuation that made (the room) very special," Studer said.
Winged Victory replica statue placed in Thompson Library, 100 year history with Ohio State
A replica of the "Nike of Samothrace" – the class of 1892's gift for the William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library's grand opening in 1913 – was announced nearly 100 years ago in The Lantern, and while the original replica is no longer standing, its essence has been restored.

2011 Drilling Upgrades and Grows Resources at Seabridge Gold's KSM ProjectWednesday, 8th February 2012
M & I Resources Now Total 49.0 Mil. Ounces of Gold, 12.7 Bil. Pounds of Copper, 261 Mil. Ounces of Silver and 304 Mil. ounces of Molybdenum
Toronto, Canada... Seabridge Gold announced today that a successful 2011 drill campaign at its 100%-owned KSM project has increased estimated measured and indicated gold resources by 3.7 million ounces and added another 0.5 million ounces in the inferred category. The updated, independent NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate, prepared by Resource Modeling Inc. ("RMI") of Stites, Idaho, will now be incorporated into a new Preliminary Feasibility Study ("PFS") on KSM scheduled for completion in April, 2012.
The updated resource estimate, effective as of February 6, 2012, is as follows:
KSM Mineral Resources at 0.50 g/t Gold Equivalent Cutoff-Grade
Seabridge Gold President and CEO Rudi Fronk noted that the objective of the 2011 KSM drill program was to upgrade inferred resources contained within the Sulphurets, Kerr and Mitchell open pits defined in the 2011 PFS. "Successfully upgrading 3.7 million ounces of gold resources to measured and indicated means that proven and probable reserves are likely to climb from last year's estimate of 38.5 million ounces of gold and 10.0 billion pounds of copper when the updated PFS is completed this April. We also expect improved economics from the conversion of in pit inferred resources and unclassified material to measured and indicated, as these were previously modeled
as waste."
RMI's updated resource model incorporates 2011 drill results from the Sulphurets, Kerr and Mitchell deposits. Gold and copper grades were estimated using inverse distance weighting methods within geologically constrained gold and copper grade domains constructed for the Mitchell, Sulphurets, Kerr and Iron Cap zones. The grade models were validated visually and by comparisons with nearest neighbor models. The estimated block grades were classified into measured, indicated and inferred mineral resource categories based on mineralized continuity that was determined both visually and statistically (i.e. variogram ranges and gold equivalent indicator probability models) together with proximity to drilling data. To facilitate comparisons with previous resource estimates, recoverable gold equivalent grades were calculated using the same $650 gold price with a 70% gold recovery rate and a $2.00 copper price with an 85% copper recovery rate. The cutoff grade for resource tabulation was set at 0.50 grams per tonne (g/t) gold equivalent, also consistent with the cutoff grade used for previous KSM resource estimates.
"Unlike other companies that update mineral resource estimates using higher and higher metal prices, we have elected to consistently report our resources at the metal prices that were used when resources were first estimated. This practice enables us to report a true increase in mineral resources based on drilling results, not higher metal prices. One of our guiding principles is to grow our gold resources faster than our shares outstanding. Last year's drill programs increased measured and indicated gold resources by 3.7 million ounces at KSM and 1.2 million ounces at Courageous Lake while our shares outstanding only grew by approximately 2.4 million during the same period." said Mr. Fronk.
The drill hole database that was used to estimate mineral resources for the KSM project now incorporates 508 diamond core holes totaling approximately 144,375 meters. Over 97% of the holes at Mitchell were drilled by Seabridge from 2006 through 2011. Approximately 87% of the total Iron Cap meterage was drilled by Seabridge in 2010. The majority of the Sulphurets assay data were collected by Seabridge (71%), Placer Dome (15%) and Falconbridge (5%). The remaining 9% of the Sulphurets drilling data were collected by Esso Minerals and Newhawk Gold. The majority of the drilling data for the Kerr zone were collected by Placer Dome during the early 1990s. Seabridge's 2010 and 2011 Kerr drilling campaigns now total about 17% of the Kerr drill hole data. RMI has reviewed the quality assurance/quality control ("QA/QC") protocols and results from Seabridge's 2006-2011 drilling programs and has deemed that the number and type of gold and copper standard reference materials (standards, blanks, and duplicates) were reasonable. Based on the performance of those standard reference materials, RMI believes that the Seabridge drill samples are reproducible and suitable for estimating mineral resources. RMI reviewed the Placer Dome QA/QC data for the Sulphurets and Kerr zones and found the data to be reliable. No Esso QA/QC data were available for review but RMI notes that the assay results from those holes compare favorably with nearby Seabridge drill holes. Based on QA/QC results and drill campaign comparisons, it is RMI's opinion that the assay data for the Kerr and Sulphurets zones are reliable for estimating resources.
National Instrument 43-101 Disclosure
Gold resource estimates included herein were prepared by Resource Modeling Inc. under the supervision of Michael Lechner, who is independent of Seabridge and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Lechner is a highly regarded expert in his field and frequently undertakes independent resource estimates for major mining companies. Mr. Lechner has reviewed and approved this news release.
Exploration activities at KSM are being conducted by Seabridge personnel under the supervision of William E. Threlkeld, Senior Vice President of Seabridge and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Threlkeld has reviewed and approved this news release. An ongoing and rigorous quality control/quality assurance protocol was employed during the 2011 program including blank and reference standards in every batch of assays. Cross-check analyses were conducted at a second external laboratory on 10% of the samples. Samples were assayed at Eco Tech Laboratory Ltd., Kamloops, B.C. and ALS Chemex, Vancouver, B.C., using fire assay atomic adsorption methods for gold and total digestion ICP methods for other elements.
Seabridge holds a 100% interest in several North American gold projects. The Company's principal assets are the KSM property located near Stewart, British Columbia, Canada and the Courageous Lake gold project located in Canada's Northwest Territories. For a breakdown of Seabridge's mineral reserves and mineral resources by category please visit the Company's website at http://www.seabridgegold.net/resources.php.
All reserve and resource estimates reported by the Corporation were calculated in accordance with the Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy Classification system. These standards differ significantly from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Hands up anyone who's ever tried a diet, slimming club, 'magic' pills, eating one food for 7 days, the apple/chicken/nuts diet... They all sound very 90s now, in a world where we're much more focused on giving ourselves hip new designer labels like Paleo, juice master, alkaline and raw till 4.
So what's the problem with keeping up with the trendy foodies on Instagram? The fact is, for most people every one of these labels is just like those cheap fashion pieces you have in your wardrobe - temporarily satisfying, suits your current lifestyle and looks good to others around you.
ANY new eating plan will work initially if you suddenly stop burying your head in a bucket of Ben and Jerry's, drinking wine 'some' nights (read 'all nights'), and give up eating fast food on the go.
Hooray, the magic happens - you lose weight, your skin starts to glow, you've got much more energy and your friends want a piece of this in their lives too. You wear your label like a badge of honour and talk about it enthusiastically all of the time; this is definitely going to become your permanent designer lifestyle from now on...
But the honeymoon period starts to wear off, and you stop wearing your new foodie label full-time. The effort of preparing food each day instead of buying it, loses its shine. Getting get up earlier to exercise so that you can enjoy a breakfast bursting with carbs afterwards feels like too much effort most days.
You'd stopped going out socialising so that you could really concentrate on fixing your diet (aka changing your life), but the pull of cocktails and canapés is proving too strong. After all, you don't want your friends thinking you've abandoned them, do you?
So what's the secret solution to avoiding another food infatuation faux pas, but managing to fix your diet and lifestyle forever? Prepare yourself because it isn't popular, chic or currently in vogue... but the simple answer is healthy eating.
See, there's nothing new and shiny with that label, it's the same old message that we hear over and over again. In fact, we know it so well that if we actually listened to our own common sense, the diet industry would instantly lose the fat wads of cash we keep paying them for quick fixes and miracle cures.
What most people don't realise is that the sad image of how boring healthy foods look and taste can easily be changed. Ban soggy salads, and bring on bowls bursting with colour, texture and flavour. Try simple food swaps - white rice for brown, white bread for wholemeal, go decaff for your morning cuppa. Add one small change at a time and challenge your taste buds to try something new at least once a week.
You don't have to give up desserts either, just make simple and delicious versions that don't contain ingredients and preservatives you can't even pronounce. There are hundreds of recipe sites that cater for any intolerances or a dislike of certain ingredients, so you could wow your friends with amazing creations that really fit with living a healthy lifestyle.

We live in a society filled with instant gratification, so anything less than immediate results won't do. But the daily damage we inflict on our bodies can't ever be fixed safely or healthily in a few days, weeks or months. It's taken you a long time to get your body where it is today, so why not give yourself the ultimate makeover from your own kitchen, and make healthy eating your timeless little black dress?

maj 2019 | Transformation
Volvo Car Group, a Human-Centric Meeting Culture
Following the global gloom of the 1940s, the explosion of musical expression in the USA of the 1950s and its rock and roll era was just the tonic for the kind of positive living that people had been longing for. Whilst they could rock to the new beats coming through the airwaves on their radio, there was also the chance to roll on four wheels too, as the automobile industry was really taking off at the same time. In tune with the zeitgeist there was an emphasis on maximum power and flamboyant design, with hot rods and muscle cars vying for horsepower, curves and angles to the fore and polished chrome brightening the city streets.
At the same time in Europe, however, one manufacturer was taking a very different approach to what the main focus of an automobile should be. A safety cage within the body of the vehicle, padded dashboards, laminated windscreens to prevent shattering and three-point safety belts to reduce injury in accidents were all developed during the very same era that Chuck Berry was waxing lyrical about the hot rod race in Maybellene. Meaning "I roll" in Latin, the Swedish Volvo Car Group were from their Gothenburg headquarters contemporaneously imprinting their own take on what it meant to 'roll' in a mostly rock era for automobile development, making safety and security paramount in a wholly special approach within a packed industry. It is this kind of unique culture that they have also applied to meetings in the company, a culture that persists to this very day.
"We do have a special culture in the company and that of course affects everything, including our meeting culture," says Paul Welander, Senior Vice President and Senior Advisor to the CEO at Volvo Car Group. "It's quite difficult to explain because you need to feel it, but we have defined how we should live our culture and I think we do that, very human-centric, very non-hierarchical and, from an organisational perspective, we are very flat despite the levels in the organisation."
"It's no problem for anybody to knock on the door of the CEO or anyone in executive management. I also think we have a very open and transparent attitude, our CEO calls it 'coffee machine culture', where you meet at the coffee machine and you talk, and that's important and it also helps take you through hard times, which we've had a couple of."
The discussions these days around the coffee machines at Volvo, as well as most other automobile manufacturers around the world, may be more complex and demanding as the industry, alongside those of accommodation and fintech, is currently facing the highest levels of disruption amongst all major global industries. Added to the need to adapt to climate change and be visibly more environmentally responsible, it all points to the need for a lot more meetings to address a huge range of challenges.
"On these disruptive forces, I think that you will see in the automotive business a rather huge transformation that you can already read about today, but you will see a huge change from combustion engines to electrified vehicles and you will also see changes in traffic when it comes to, for instance, speed and behaviour," says Paul Welander. "You will see changes in people's attitude, and you will see other things happening as everybody will be connected, and you will see autonomous vehicles as well, maybe not by 2025 but by 2035. By 2050, instead of taking the night train somewhere you will take the car and sleep in it on the way there."
"I think you will see these changes coming up, but moreover I think you will see a change in the commercial domain: in retailers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and customers moving forward. The industry wants to be more B2C. Today we are B2B because we sell to the retailers. With the help of digitisation it might give us another commercial set-up. Look at how the bank-operations have changed and how people are doing their financial business today. You are not running to the bank to pay your bills or put money in. It's all done on the internet."
"In terms of how we work and meet in respect of all this change we are able to be very fast at doing things, often with a gut feeling that sometimes decides things, and if with this gut feeling you can explain to senior management why they should do things you can get the buy in and it's done," says Paul Welander. "But we also measure a lot and we try to be rather connected between the various operations in the company, so like others we put up our operational targets and then we break them down almost to the individual for white-collar workers and to the groups for the blue-collar domain. Then we have operational reviews and when you go around and meet people you learn to put certain questions to challenge in the positive way."
"I think that's one of the things that senior management should do, challenge the operation to be better, faster and more human-centric, so if you have the same people moving around, meeting staff, challenging the operation and asking the questions in a certain way you harmonise the operation. I very often think of ourselves as a small company and that helps too."
Building internal harmony by meeting and challenging the operation may address the internal consequences of today's disruption on the industry, but a further challenge on the previous industry norms is coming from the impact new innovation is having on external parties, creating the need for Volvo to now have a much stronger focus on collaborating and meeting much more outside of the company too.
"If there was a mobility congress taking place maybe some energy providers would be interesting to have there and maybe also some companies working with the development of cities and the utilisation of space would be interesting to have there too, but just ten years ago we would never have been interested in talking to those players. Today we are, and we do. If you look at our science parks in Gothenburg, we have one in particular, Lindholmen, that one of their responsibilities is to work with the automotive sector. They create a lot of conferences and congresses that we are invited to and attend, and it can be anything from sustainability to energy."
"I also had a discussion with the police the other day and we were talking about autonomous driving, but then we got on to the productivity of the police forces and we touched on when the teams in police cars need to take a break," says Paul Welander. "They drive to the police station and need to park the car, so they drive into the car park and need to find a space, then walk all the way back to the entrance, take the elevator all the way up to the coffee machine and then they have just a minute to take a cup of coffee. So why not allow the team to jump out of the car just outside the entrance and then the car parks itself, and just think what that would do for productivity levels."
Whilst it is meetings such as these that in turn can influence product design and innovation with the aim of delivering much wider social productivity outcomes, one of the challenges faced in achieving this is having the right people at the right meetings with an aptitude to ask the right questions and engage openly and constructively. Since 2010, when Volvo was taken over by Chinese automotive group Geely, it has more than doubled in staff size, an expansion so rapid that it has presented challenges both in the calibre of staff that Volvo has needed to attract, but also to the culture of the meetings that it has traditionally held within the company. This now raises the spectre of how the meeting culture might need to evolve to ensure that decision-making and growth can be maximised, including using meetings as a positive forum for the empowerment of managers.
"In Swedish culture we drink a lot of coffee and we are a very reserved culture, so what is difficult with us, when you talk about the meeting culture, might be that you sit in a meeting, might not speak up, but then go into the corridor and disrupt decisions by the coffee machine. You then learn to work with this culture of corridor decisions and not speaking up in meetings, but it would be easier if people spoke up and it leads to one of the major challenges we have in the company and that's leadership."
"I say that because we were 18,000 when Geely bought us and since 2010 we have grown by 25,000 to be 43,000 today, and an extra 25,000 means a lot of new managers and we need to ask if we have given them the necessary prerequisites to do the job in the best way," says Paul Welander. "This is difficult because we are moving so fast, but they need to look after their employees. Being a manager in the Volvo operation puts certain demands on you and you are responsible for your operation, the result of the operation, the development of the operation, the employees in order to get them to do the job in the right way and for their development. To get employees to do the job in the right way this means that if you have an opinion you have to speak up, and so you need to make them brave."
"If senior management is talking a lot about wanting a coffee machine culture I think it comes down in an organisation and if we can be transparent and have a management walking around and being out in operations talking to people then managers in the different levels will do something similar. In some cases, you need to push because the most tricky job is to be a first line manager. You are the representative of the employer and the employees and you need to balance that, so it's a very difficult job."
Tackling the needs of difficult jobs within an expanding organisation fuels the requirement for even more meetings, and as Volvo continues to build on the growing success it has had in recent years it is clear that the human-centric approach to its meeting culture is set to continue in its inimitable way that puts the spotlight firmly on people interaction whilst also bringing best value to the company.
"When you leave a meeting, you need to have added value to your previous situation, so to speak, so it needs to be value-added every time you meet people. That can be a solution of a certain issue, but it can also be a relationship built over a cup of coffee that will help you do your job better tomorrow when you get to know a person."
"To me meetings can have these different meanings, sorting out issues and moving forward, but building relations is also a very, very important value-add, and whilst you can have a meeting on the web or on your phone I used to state that it's important for us to eat together or have a beer together if you should work together in a very positive way, so you need to spend some time on who you are and be a little bit outside the issue as such," says Paul Welander. "When you meet on the phone or on the web, you're very professional because you never chit-chat and just sort out issues. It's always best when you meet live; for me that's a meeting."

As urban areas are getting more crowded and falling increasingly short on future development potential, development of new self-sustaining cities are emerging as an alternate solution to these problems. Technology is at the heart of these new self-sustaining cities enabling automation and real-time integrated city monitoring and management through a network of sensors, cameras, wireless devices and data centers. Also referred to as smart cities, these new self-sustaining cities are a developed urban area that creates sustainable economic development and high quality of life by excelling in multiple key areas like economy, environment, energy efficiency, mobility, governance, people and living conditions.
Smart cities, on one hand present a substantial growth opportunity in the coming years while on the other offers various challenges as well. Smart city projects are rather complex with residential and commercial spaces supported by an infrastructure backbone for power, roads, water, drainage and sewage i.e. a virtual living and breathing city. A critical success factor is a need for a common technology platform to enable integration, coordination and synergistic functioning of different participants of the smart city ecosystem.
A centralized information system based on GIS (Geographical Information System) provides an IT framework which integrates not only every stakeholder but also every aspect of smart city processes – starting from conceptualization, planning, and development to maintenance.
Acquire: Find the right sites for city development, view legal boundaries, arrive at right valuation of your existing / new sites.
Planning & Design: Identify deficiencies and determine optimal solutions. Integrate GIS with most design tools, including Computer Aided Design (CAD), Building Information Modeling (BIM) bringing greater analytics and cost-estimation capabilities to your infrastructure design process.
Construct: Integrate project and financial management software with GIS to better manage projects. GIS can provide a single point of entry for all construction-related documents and files.
Sell: Understand where and how to market city developments, attract buyers and tenants, and improve retention rates. Analyze demographics and market conditions to provide a more accurate picture of a property's suitability to needs.
Maintain: Easily manage disparate assets. Integrate your asset inventory with inspection history and work order management to maintain your critical investments in a cost-effective manner.
Site Selection & Land Acquisition: GIS can combine and integrate different types of information to help making better decisions and also provides high quality visualization tools that can improve the understanding and enhance decision making capability w.r.t to site identification, valuation and finally selection. By analyzing location data – proximity to road network, fertility of soil, land use, soil bearing capacity, ground water depth, and vulnerability to disasters such as floods, earthquakes - the real estate organizations can arrive at the right property valuation. By analyzing, mapping, and modeling the merits of one site or location over another can be evaluated. In addition, this can also be used for arriving at appropriate market linked compensation to owners based on valuation parameters and in rehabilitation and resettlement planning.
Environmental / Legal Compliance: GIS makes meeting regulatory requirements less time consuming and easier to accomplish by providing a common platform for communication with regulators and public. The existing data can be directly connected to a compliance workflow ensuring adherence. Also, GIS-based graphical outputs can help in quickly generate reports that clearly demonstrate how compliance requirements and building bye-laws are being met.
Planning, Design & Visualization: Geodesign will be the key framework for conceptualizing and planning for smart cities; it will assist at every stage from project conceptualising to site-analysis, design specifications, stakeholder participation and collaboration, design creation, simulation and evaluation.
GIS enables planners to integrate a variety of data from multiple sources like road, sewerage and drinking water and to perform spatial analyses and planning. Utilities can manage and map the location of millions of miles of overhead and underground circuits.
By integrating imagery, elevation, and environmental information with the CAD / BIM environment, engineers can continue working with familiar software while gaining access to important GIS data. Design files can be brought into a GIS and linked to financial software for better labor and materials and total project cost estimation. With these types of capabilities, GIS is an essential componentof the engineering information systems of the future.
A 3D geographic information system can be used to create a realistic simulation of a project, environment, or critical situation. GIS can help increase a facility's sustainability by reducing energy and water use, finding better waste disposal, and decreasing a building's carbon footprint. By managing information both inside and outside buildings down to the asset level, GIS can help in for example differentiating the environmental impact of development, planning and evaluating neighborhood patterns and design, estimate the "walkability" for LEED-ND projects based data on streets, pedestrian routes, bicycle routes, transit accessibility, building entrances, and a variety of other factors.

Great music and setting
This movie was very funny.
If Will wasn't in it, I would have given it more stars. He was a disgrace to the acting community.
Man, this SUCKED!
Cynical and poor. A movie that talks down to the viewer. Miss it.
a feast for the senses, humorous, state of the art special effects, good triumphing over evil.... apparently not good enough
for the 1 star cynics or internet trolls
I was amazed with the live Action Aladdin and the Scenes I thought were Amazing. I loved the Costumes most of the Cast used. The music was a lot of fun. Compared to the Anamated one I was Wowed by this one.
Absolutely amazing!!
If you are an open-minded individual, you will LOVE this movie!!!! It was incredible! You have to be willing to see things outside the box to really appreciate this movie. Fantastic!!
Loved the movie. Will Smith was very entertaining. Very enjoyable a must to see!

Many times the basic health insurance plan may provide for routine eye examinations; however, it will usually not provide any benefit for frames, lenses or contact lenses. This is where a separate group vision benefit would be used.

I got a Focusrite Scarlett Solo but have been having issues with it that I did not expect. I am on Windows 7 SP1 x64 using Bitwig 2.3.2
Here's my current issue: when I select my audio driver as ASIO and select Focusrite's ASIO driver, I no longer have any control over the volume Bitwig outputs using the Windows Volume Mixer. I can set the windows volume mixer to 0 or mute everything and Bitwig still makes sound. This doesn't happen if I use the FL Studio driver though. I didn't intend for this to happen, it would mean that I would have to put my audio interface on my table and use it exclusively for just controlling Bitwig. That seems excessive and definitely not normal.

- An e-mentoring platform that acts like a dating site, matching employees with senior professionals according to their career aspirations
- Collaboration tools that help teams connect, create and build things across geographies and time zones
- A blog site that employees contribute to and read. This blog powerfully stimulates employee development (and it put an end to the old newsletter)
- Community sites where employees celebrate wins, recognize colleagues and promote volunteering
- An 'Ideas Portal' where employees propose new concepts, connect with like-minded peers, get feedback, refine their ideas and bring them to production

The Viking And The Moor: Chapter Five
The air just in front of The Viking's face hummed with the sound of The Moor's axe blade. It nearly cleaved his nose off as he leaped backwards.
The Moor glared at him and The Priest with murderous eyes. She screamed.
"Bring them back!"
The Viking flinched at her ferocity. The Priest retreated further behind his protector.
"Bring them back!"
They were confused by her words, but they hadn't any time to ponder them.
The Priest dove to the side as she swung her axe again at The Viking. He blocked the blow with his own axe, then leaped backwards again. He was just out of reach.
"Bring them back!"
She slashed at him.
The Viking kept The Priest to his back. When The Moor attempted to steer him away by rushing forward, he stood his ground.
She swung the axe with both hands. It kissed the air in front of The Viking's face again. The wind whistled off its steel.
He ducked and rolled away from The Moor, which left The Priest open to attack.
The Moor turned to face The Priest. Their eyes met, and recognition flashed briefly across their faces. The Moor spat at him, then turned back to The Viking, who was waiting for her next move.
She looked into his eyes.
"Bring them back!"
The Viking shook his head.
"Why are you saying that?"
The Moor swung her axe back and forth as she advanced on him. He knew he could overpower her. He could sense her inexperience with the weapon she wielded. His skill far surpassed hers. But the hatred in her eyes frightened him.
She seemed capable of anything.
She continued swinging the axe as she advanced. Left to right, back and forth. She was nearly back within striking distance.
"Bring them back!"
The Viking held his axe aloft. The Priest realized that he was preparing to throw it.
The Moor continued her careful approach. She intended to rush forward and bury the head of her axe in her opponent's forehead.
Again she screamed.
"Bring them back!"
She was upon him.
The Viking let fly with his axe at the same time that she struck downward with hers. The head of her axe was cleaved neatly from its hilt, spinning off into a thicket. The hilt fell at her feet.
"Bring them back!"
The Moor fell into a heap. She was sobbing. She rolled onto her back in the cold snow and stared at the sky. She screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Bring. Them. Back!"
Grief consumed her. She wept uncontrollably.
The Viking retrieved his axe. He stood over The Moor, holding it.
Her eyes met his, then she closed them tight.
"Please… kill me? End the suffering you've caused. I have nothing left. You've taken everything."
She waited for a death blow that never came.
She opened her eyes again. The Viking hadn't moved.
The Moor sat up in the snow but did not stand.
"Why do you not strike me down? I tried to kill you."
The Viking smiled.
"Because I do not think it was me you were trying to kill."
The Moor contemplated this, then nodded.
"You seek vengeance against whomever murdered these children?"
She nodded again.
The Viking extended his hand to her. She took it and stood, weakly. Her head hung low.
"I am sorry. I saw the two of you standing here. I assumed you had done it."
"I understand."
The Priest approached cautiously.
He and The Moor exchanged another knowing glance. The Viking noticed it this time but did not comment.
"Priest, she is not our enemy. She is searching for the murderers of these children."
The Priest nodded but did not speak.
The Viking turned to The Moor.
"Do you know who did it?"
"Yes. Well, only one for certain. The others, I can't say for sure."
The Viking sheathed his axe.
"We will help you find them."
The Priest looked alarmed. His eyes pleaded with The Viking.
"I see your look, Priest. I'm choosing to ignore it. Come. Let's return to your hut. We can plan our next steps."
The Viking began walking back across the shore towards the frozen river.
The Moor followed without a word. She walked in his footprints, her head still hanging. She wept quietly as she walked.
The Priest hesitated.
The Viking called over his shoulder.
"Those children deserve our help, Priest. This evil cannot go unpunished. You know this."
"It's not that", said The Priest.
"Then what's the matter?"
"We need to bury them."
The Viking nodded.
"Yes. But it's nearly dark. We must wait until morning. The cold will keep them. Come. To your hut."
He continued walking, leaving The Priest to his thoughts.
The Priest followed reluctantly.
The three of them marched in a line, quietly loping through the deep snow.
Behind them, the bodies of the children lay under freshly falling snow.

Here in Van Nuys: Facebook
The tricky part about small truly affordable homes is that they allow people with low incomes to live in them. It isn't merely the structures like Tiny Homes that the culture rejects, it's the people who will inhabit them that are intentionally filtered out. Forbidding Tiny Homes via the building code and zoning regulations is all about preserving the value and "neighborhood character" of people with larger homes and more money, while changing the rules to permit them is "social engineering."
That's why we need better architecture in multi family dwellings which brings more community to the surroundings and may help convince opponents that new dwellings are a potential asset, not a detriment.

Nineteen-year-old girl inspires, changes lives through poetry
Aletta Shikololo
WINDHOEK – Lydia Festus, socially known as Lydia October, is not just your regular teenage girl having at the age of 19 years already made herself a brand and knows what it takes to be successful.
She is a poet, MC and the founder of the non-governmental organisation (NGO), October Foundation. To her, poetry is real and intimate and it means exposing very dark, hidden parts of her life that she wouldn't really talk about with even the closest people in her life. "Poetry has been with me, my whole life I figured. Anyone who knows or has been around me for a while would know how much I love English, literature, I meant that as literally," she says. "Before I became a poet, I was an MC, I still am, and it all began in high school. My friends and I went to crowd cheering for our matriculants and I received a call from one of our teachers, asking if I would love to host the school's matric party," she adds.
Poetry occurred to her that moment when she heard her inner voice telling her how the ignorant naysayers would constantly hate her "loud mouth", which pushed her to that point. "I agreed on hosting the event and to be honest it was one of the best experiences in my life. From that day onwards, I became the school's mistress of ceremony. I would host beauty pageants, public holiday events at school and so eventually I grew some exposure and soon other schools around town would ask me to host," explains she.
Festus describes herself as someone who would always look at life in a more colorful way even through dark times, and she writes about almost everything she finds poetic and her poetry became more exposed when she started attending the Open Mic poetry sessions hosted by poet and MC, Ashywn Mberi, and it became a priority to attend and when she feared performing her poetry. She says her last year of high school was one of the most interesting and intense years in her life as in Grade 12 she had built a platform for hosting events and voice-over skills. "As a learner in high school, at some point I lost interest in the whole idea of being a learner, nothing was going my way and I just stopped doing anything about it. I had been pressured so much into the idea of not failing, I stopped focusing on working hard towards not failing by studying hard but instead I focused more on poetry for some reason," Festus explains.
Also an author, she has written a book titled Tales of an open mind, yet to be published. "I spent so much of my study time expressing myself and how confusing life is as a teenager through poetry and had completely derailed my focus on the physics and chemistry exams that I had to study for," she adds.
She chose to focus on building herself as a brand because she knew already the outcomes of her results and she decided to drive to Windhoek for voice-over auditions at NBC, a week before the exams officially started. Even though she didn't make it in Grade 12, she didn't just stay home but went to the College of Arts where she was admitted as a radio production student, even though it was hard to convince her mother to let her pursue her dream at the college.
Festus's journey was not just a walk in the park, it was also filled with challenges and one of the biggest challenges that she faced was being robbed of her personal computer, which had her poetry book in it and most of her business ideas. "I remember crying myself to sleep, just thinking how much time and effort I have put in writing it, just to have it gone before I could even back it up," she reflects sadly.
But all that is now water under the bridge and life goes on. Her personal goal is to at least have a solid empire in terms of art, business and entertainment by 21 years old, and she is chasing it with all she has got, through God's grace and by her parent's lifelong lessons. "I look back into my life and just seeing how much I have experienced and accomplished at 19 is what keeps me going. I look up to my mom a lot, I never saw myself being so business-minded but now it all makes sense, I am walking in her footsteps and I appreciate how she and my dad have raised me to always humble myself and always respect the ones who came before me," Festus adds.
She currently has dropped out of college because of financial difficulties year and she thus decided to take a gap year and raise money to pay for her studies. "I recently partnered with Namibian actor, Carlos Leonard, who recently returned from Hollywood, for film and theatre training at the Beverly Hills Play House Acting School – he and I are now helping expose the Leonard Talent Management Agency cc (LTM) to the Namibian market as we would like to start managing Namibian actors, musicians, models and dancers," she says.
Festus is looking forward to publishing her poetry books in the near future, as well as becoming an actress within the Namibian industry and later on the international platform.
Festus advises the youth to start investing in their personal growth by discovering themselves, and where it is they feel they belong best in life. "Dropping out of school will never be an option if you don't have a plan worked out to back such decisions up – it will all lead to regret, trust me on that. Nobody can tell you otherwise to what God has already given you. Focus on your own race with your own battles at your own pace. Every day you wake up is do or die, swim or drown, so grab every opportunity with both arms and do everything right by giving it your all the first time around; it's rare for opportunities to come around twice believe me."
In her free time she gives back to the community through her foundation and at the moment she is mentoring young girls on teenage pregnancy, importance of business, arts and education. She also loves giving feedback to upcoming artists on their music.

Rezzed 2015 Part 2 : The Games
Having spent all of Friday listening to talks, I turned up on the Saturday ready to try out the vast array of games on offer, and I mean vast. While I already mentioned it in part 1, Tobacco Dock is an amazing venue, made better by the fact that this time I was able to drive their by car easily, and park in the ample spaces for a very reasonable price ( £5 for the whole days parking in London is really very good).
First stops were the areas holding the big names. Microsoft and Sony had areas dedicated to Xbox and Playstation gaming respectively, and while some big names could be seen and played, in general the rooms were filled with smaller indie games. Of course, this isn't to say big crowdpleasers weren't there. Blizzard's Heroes of the Storm was playable, as was SMITE's new Xbox outing, among a pleasing retrospective in the vein of every Total War game ever made in Creative Assembly's area. The biggest queue of the day however was reserved for the Guild Wars 2 expansion, Heart of Thorns, which stretched and snaked around corners and at one point nearly blocked a corridor until the mob was organised into a typically British line.
Something else which caught the eyes of the masses were the items of tech on display, especially VR units, with the Roto VR chair being one of the 'must try' experiences of the event. The Roto is effectively a turning chair that you sit in while using an Oculus Rift or other similar VR kit. The idea is that instead of turning your whole body around, you turn the chair with pedals attached to the base, which should help eliminate some of the motion sickness that is often common with VR kits at the moment. A wide variety of games were being tested at the show, and you can play the games in question with the usual variety of controls, there's even talk of a small table being implemented into the design so that players can use a mouse and keyboard.
Of course the main draw of Rezzed is the indie gems and the teams that make them. This year the show floor was absolutely filled with little joys, too many to mention, and even the areas dedicated to bigger publishers like Devolver Digital and Team 17 were showcasing their commitment to smaller studios and giving them the time in the spotlight they rightfully deserved. Other indies gathered in two other sections, the chillout zone, and the indie room, both of which were crammed with interesting titles that demanded a moment of your time, and developers that are so passionate and open about their creations, you just want to talk to all of them. There were even some games tournaments going on, one of which I entered and eventually won, which was an amazing rush.
Of course, indie developers also have a knack for the weird and wonderful, and the returning Leftfield Collection shows off some of the pure brilliance creative developers can come up with. The application process for Leftfield is always tough and there's always so much competition for so few spots. This year, however, BAFTA's Games Arcade came in to help save the day. Doubling the space by adding their own area and allowing a second group of exciting individuals and teams to get their amazing creations into the show. I was thrilled to see this was the case, as Leftfield is always a joy to go through, as you never know what to expect. The expansion of this specific kind of section into two rooms just made sense, and I hope it continues into the future.
EGX 2015 is in Birmingham's NEC this year, and the big venue should suit the gaming megashow a bit more than it did Rezzed. I'm unsure about whether I'm able to go this year due to a variety of reasons, but I can rest assured that if I can't make it, I've had a hell of a time at Rezzed this year, and I sincerely hope next year the organisers manage to keep Tobacco Dock as their venue, and also manage to pack it out with as much talent as they did this year.
