Five students share a room at a college hostel. Two of them decide to move out and stay in a private room for their unique, weird problem.
When I was doing my bachelors, my maternal uncle used to stay close to our house.
He had a 5 year old son – lets call him PK. Every Sunday, PK used to come to our house to study. I was given the task of tutoring him.
PK used to write with his left-hand, which was frowned upon by all the elders – my elder brother, my parents and even PK’s parents.
Poor kid PK! He used to really struggle – both physically and mentally – to “fit in” the majority social structure.
Whatever is the minority in the society – left-handedness or mental illness or queerness – it is always frowned upon, looked down upon.
As if these minors are responsible for their so-called “defects”.
Room-Mate is a satirical take on this social mentality towards the minority.
It is a very short film and hence talking much about it would be giving away the suspense.
The end is really funny – but more importantly – thought provoking.
It is a story of Antony and his room-mate, who are students living at a hostel.
Both of them face social outcasting by the others in subtle forms – be it eve-teasing or being the fun-topic among friends or taking videos of the two and making them public.
Both Antony and his roommate hence take the decision to move out of the hostel and stay in a private room.
Social outcasting makes any person loose self-confidence. The person begins to doubt oneself.
What if there is indeed a “defect” in me?
What if this thing is indeed a “disease”?
The person internally goes through lot of mental torture – anxiety, nervousness, embarrassment, guilt and shame.
All this might easily lead to feeling of self-hatred.
The relationship between Antony and his room-mate is delightfully portrayed.
Both of them feel so relaxed when around each other. They share their inner feelings comfortably with each other. They are connected by their “defect”, by their misfortune.
The story and the direction is really tight and crisp.
A beautiful, melodious song in the middle adds to the cinematic effect aptly.
There is small mention of handicapped people in between – which I felt was in a bad taste.
They could have easily avoided it and taken some other example – like left-handed people – to make their point.

Dry skin can affect any part of your body. It commonly affects hands, arms, and legs. In many cases, lifestyle changes and over-the-counter moisturizers may be all you need to treat it. If those treatments aren’t enough, you should contact your doctor.
Exposure to dry weather conditions, hot water, and certain chemicals can cause your skin to dry out. Dry skin can also result from underlying medical conditions.
Dermatitisis the medical term for extremely dry skin. There are several different types of dermatitis.
Contact dermatitis develops when your skin reacts to something it touches, causing localized inflammation.
Irritant contact dermatitis can occur when your skin’s exposed to an irritating chemical agent, such as bleach.
Allergic contact dermatitis can develop when your skin is exposed to a substance you’re allergic to, such as nickel.
Seborrheic dermatitisoccurs when your skin produces too much oil. It results in a red and scaly rash, usually on your scalp. This type of dermatitis is common in infants.
Atopic dermatitis is also known as eczema. It’s a chronic skin condition that causes dry scaly patches to appear on your skin. It’s common among young children.
Other conditions, such as psoriasis and type 2 diabetes, can also cause your skin to dry out.
Age. Older adults are more likely to develop dry skin. As you age, your pores naturally produce less oil, raising your risk of dry skin.
Medical history. You’re more likely to experience eczema or allergic contact dermatitis if you have a history of these conditions or other allergic diseases in your family.
Season. Dry skin is more common during the fall and winter months, when humidity levels are relatively low. In the summer, higher levels of humidity help stop your skin from drying out.
Bathing habits. Taking frequent baths or washing with very hot water raises your risk of dry skin.
Your doctor’s recommended treatment plan will depend on the cause of your dry skin.
In some cases, they may refer you to a skin specialist or dermatologist. Along with lifestyle remedies, they may recommend over-the-counter or prescription ointments, creams, or lotions to treat your symptoms.
It’s also important to choose the right kind of moisturizer for your skin type. If your skin is extremely dry, look for a petrolatum-based product.
You might consider switching to a lighter, water-based lotion during the summer months if your skin becomes less dry then. Lotions that contain grapeseed oil and antioxidants can also help trap water in your skin.
If you experience occasional dry skin, you can likely prevent and treat it using simple lifestyle changes and over-the-counter moisturizers. If you develop severe dry skin, make an appointment with your doctor.
If left untreated, dermatitis can get worse. Early treatment will help you to feel comfortable sooner. It will also lower your risk of complications, such as open wounds from scratching and skin infections.

No cigarette manufacturer is going to see a bright side to going dark but Ian Hughes, affinity development manager for specialist insurance brokers Bluefin, is positively upbeat about it.
He says that going dark reduces sales on average by 5%. But using the space effectively can result in higher margins.
If you can afford a single dispense unit such as Cherwell’s, only one pack at a time can be accessed – and that goes for the crooks too. They’ll be there all night trying to pinch the goods. So overnight security is vastly improved. And with an overhead gantry system such as Expottuto’s Servertab, you have all that space that the old gantry took up to display better margin lines.
Bluefin is currently negotiating with insurers to reduce premiums for those who take suchmeasures.
I know Ian Hughes is Mr. Insurance, but his points are very good: the manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors etc, just want to sell more ciggies. None of them consider security as part of the mix.

Arthur Saunders and Hazel Wheeler Crouch Hawkes: After the power plant at the mouth of American Fork Canyon began operations in 1907 there were a lot of Power Plant Operators who came to Highland but stayed only briefly. Arthur Hawkes was one of those, arriving in 1936 but not heard of or mentioned again. They must have lived at the power plant (#71) since there were four homes there.
Arthur was born February 20, 1898, in Park City, Utah to Samuel Mercer and Emilie Marie Andrasen Jule Hawkes. Hazel was born July 24, 1904, in Fremont, Idaho to John Henry and Almira Wilson Crouch. They were married September 10, 1920, in Fremont, Idaho and had two children: Deon Lucille and Donald Thomas.
In 1920, 1930 and 1935 they were living in Fremont, Idaho and in 1940 in Pleasant View, Utah. In 1942 when Arthur registered for the WWII draft they were living in Provo and he was working for Utah Power and Light. Arthur died June 10, 1969, in Salt Lake City and Hazel died October 16, 1987, also in Salt Lake City and they are buried in the Brigham City Cemetery.

Technological change has always posed a challenge for companies. But, as we saw once again in 2015, it has never occurred as rapidly, or on as large a scale, as today. As innovation sweeps across virtually every sector, from heavy industry to services, it is transforming the competitive landscape, with the most advanced companies—rather than the largest or most established players—coming out on top.
For incumbents, the threat of displacement is very real. The average tenure of a company on the S&P 500 has fallen from 90 years in 1935 to less than 18 years today. Disruptive new players like Uber, which has upended the taxi industry, are tough competitors, often staking out market share by shifting more surplus to consumers. This is part of a broader trend of intensifying competition that, according to recent research from the McKinsey Global Institute, could reduce the global after-tax profit pool from almost 10% of global GDP today to its 1980 level of about 7.9% within a decade.
The effect of technology on competition arises largely from the power of digital platforms and network effects. New digital platforms reduce marginal costs (the cost of producing additional units of a good or service) to nearly zero. Adding, say, a Google Maps user carries negligible costs, because the service relies on GPS location data that is already stored on a user’s phone. This allows Google to scale incredibly quickly, and then to leverage this scale (and the convenience of having a single platform) to move into adjacent sectors—such as music (Google Play), payment (Google Wallet), and word processing (Google Docs). In this manner, tech firms can quickly come to challenge incumbents in seemingly unrelated industries.
Of course, tech firms are not the only ones innovating. A handful of leading firms in practically every industry are deploying digital technology in increasingly sophisticated ways—and seeing huge benefits. The use of sensors to monitor livestock, for example, has far-reaching implications for the food industry.
But the most digitally advanced sectors show the greatest progress. Indeed, over the past 20 years, profit margins in these tech-infused sectors have grown two-three times faster, on average, than in the rest of the economy. Even within the most advanced sectors, there is a yawning gap between the top-performing companies and the rest of the pack. For example, the retail offerings of digitally advanced multinational banks far outstrip those of local credit unions.
As technology transforms business models and processes, it is also changing the way employees work. Recent McKinsey research finds that already-proven technologies could automate as much as 45% of the tasks individuals are currently paid to perform. In the US alone, that is the equivalent of about $2 trillion in annual wages.
The potential benefits of this transformation for companies extend far beyond cost savings, as workers gain time to pursue more valuable tasks involving critical thinking and creativity. Financial advisers can spend less time analysing financials and more time developing solutions that meet clients’ needs. Or interior decorators can shift their attention from taking measurements to devising design concepts, meeting with clients, or sourcing materials.
Technology also allows companies to rethink conventional wisdom on organizational design and governance. New information-sharing technologies deliver greater transparency, making organizations more efficient and, in many cases, less hierarchical.
For example, the CEOs of Apple, Inditex (a multinational clothing company) and Zappos (a large online retailer) have adopted broad spans of control (the number of subordinates directly reporting to a manager) that far exceed the traditional model of “one to four to eight". Haier, the Chinese white-goods manufacturer, reorganized its 80,000-person workforce into 2,000 independent units, each responsible for managing its own profits and losses. Since the move, its market capitalization has soared, tripling from 2011 to 2014.
Moreover, digitization allows companies to operate as “platforms", not structures, and make greater use of resources outside their company. Insurance company Allstate used the crowdsourcing platform Kaggle to invite programmers to develop a new car accident injury algorithm; the eventual “winner" was 271% more accurate than its existing model.
Likewise, China’s DJI became the world’s largest drone manufacturer by focusing on its products’ core technology, while giving away developer kits for free online so that others could build apps. This approach meant that DJI’s drones were equipped with attractive features far earlier than competitors’ products, which relied on in-house app development.
Similar technology-driven innovations in thought processes and business models can be seen across the economy, reflected in changes in companies’ planning processes. Some have begun creating separate business plans with two-month and 20-year views, reallocating their resources more aggressively, and using new analytical techniques to identify, attract, develop and retain talent.
Technological innovation enables—indeed, requires—companies to boost their agility and thus their competitiveness. That’s why CEOs’ top priorities in 2016 should be to digitize the core components of their business and rethink organizational design and governance processes. Catching this fast-moving—and rapidly growing—“digital wave" is the only way to avoid getting left behind.

In the dead heat of summer, few things sound as good as an ice cream cone, sundae, or frozen yogurt. If a summer treat company has a cool, refreshing cafe logo, they can be sure that their parlors will be full during the warm weather months. Here are some ice cream and frozen yogurt shop logos from well-known establishments that entice customers with their use of color, shape, and image.
This well known national chain has one key brand element that is represented in their logo: their offering of thirty-one flavors. Their logo is in a blue and pink color meant to appeal to the young and the young at heart, while the thick, slightly tilted letters also convey a child-like image. In a clever way, the B and R that are the store’s initials also make a ‘31’, which refers to the store’s number of available flavors. This logo is well-recognized throughout the United States and even the world, making it an effective branding element. Read about the Baskin Robins logo makeover.
This fast food establishment offers a full line of foods but is best known for their ice cream treats. The logo is not just an eye-catching red, but in the shape of lips. The arc-like waves are not just a symbol of movement and change; the orange wave above the lettering represents the company’s hot foods, while the blue wave below represents the cold treats. These tie into the company tagline: Hot Eats, Cool Treats. The change in branding from Dairy Queen to DQ is also reflected in this branding, as the company’s initials are front and center in an italicized font.
This logo avoids the cute and childish, instead presenting the brand as a grown-up treat that people of all ages can enjoy. The black, gold, and white color palette is sophisticated, while the banner like shape of the logo suggests quality and excellence. The letters are bold with serifs, making the company appear large and substantial. However, the logo has small imperfections that make it appear homemade, hinting at the artisanal nature of the ice cream.
This ice cream shop is a current favorite due to the almost infinite number of flavor combinations that customers can custom create. The logo has a classic color scheme for casual restaurants: red and yellow. The writing is bold with serifs, but there are a few swirls and long serifs to add interest. An inclusive circle holds a swirling ice cream cone in one of the chain’s signature waffle cones. This logo might be more personal to the company if it somehow—outside of the name, that is—communicated the aspect that makes the company so popular—the cold stone slab on which the ice cream is mixed.
This ice cream store promises the country’s best yogurt, but the logo screams traditional ice cream shop. From the red lettering to the thick letters to the ice cream cone beside the name, this logo incorporates many elements that are generally seen in establishments offering less healthy treats. Because most frozen yogurt buyers want a frozen treat that tastes like traditional ice cream without the drawbacks, this similarity to other logos may be one successful part of the branding.
This frozen yogurt shop has gained quite a following despite being located in only a few cities, partially due to the healthier nature of its products. The less sweetened yogurt is tangier than the average frozen treat and a variety of healthy toppings such as fresh fruit and granola are available for the health conscious consumer to choose from. The logo shows this value with a primarily green color, as this is a hue generally associated with plants and healthy foods. The image to the right of the words features the pink berry for which the chain is named, in a round, friendly shape.
This ice cream is different from others because it is deep frozen into tiny balls that melt into ice cream as they are eaten. The logo is in soft, pastel colors with casual lower case writing. Pastel dots refer to the nature of the product while also forming a friendly, inclusive circle. The tagline is written at the bottom: ‘the ice of the future’. It is impossible to look at this logo and not understand that this ice cream is different from the competition, making it a clear winner.
This regional ice cream chain offers the same playful blue and pink color scheme as many other frozen treat shops, but with a key difference. The colors are used as outlining on otherwise white letters that are in a thick, traditional font with serifs. To the right is a soft serve ice cream cone with sprinkles arcing toward it in a wave-like shape that connotes movement and growth. Because this company is constantly growing and offering new products and locations, this is a very appropriate image.
This ice cream shop offers the familiar pink and blue colors, but in a circular shape that is friendly and inviting. The cow that is the central character of the store is in the center of the circle smiling. The playful lettering appeals to children and families, while the use of a character is a good branding move for these audiences as well. The use of ‘treatery’ in the name rather than ‘eatery’ is a play on words that makes the store all the more inviting.
Like Dairy Queen and other ice cream stores, Foster’s Freeze offers a full line of fast food products. However, the company focus is on the ice cream as well as the general retro experience of the store. The logo retains the inviting fifties image with old-fashioned cursive writing while the wording ‘old fashion’ further portray’s this image. The ice cream cone character resembles the soft serve cone that is the establishment’s best known product, while adding more retro charm. The deep blue color palette is cool and inviting.

The change in branding from Dairy Queen to DQ is also reflected in this branding , as the company ’s initials are front and center in an italicized font .
 This logo avoids the cute and childish , instead presenting the brand as a grown - up treat that people of all ages can enjoy . The black , gold , and white color palette is sophisticated , while the banner like shape of the logo suggests quality and excellence . The letters are bold with serifs , making the company appear large and substantial . However , the logo has small imperfections that make it appear homemade , hinting at the artisanal nature of the ice cream .
 This ice cream shop is a current favorite due to the almost infinite number of flavor combinations that customers can custom create . The logo has a classic color scheme for casual restaurants : red and yellow . The writing is bold with serifs , but there are a few swirls and long serifs to add interest . An inclusive circle holds a swirling ice cream cone in one of the chain ’s signature waffle cones . This logo might be more personal to the company if it somehow — outside of the name , that is — communicated the aspect that makes the company so popular — the cold stone slab on which the ice cream is mixed .
 This ice cream store promises the country ’s best yogurt , but the logo screams traditional ice cream shop . From the red lettering to the thick letters to the ice cream cone beside the name , this logo incorporates many elements that are generally seen in establishments offering less healthy treats . Because most frozen yogurt buyers want a frozen treat that tastes like traditional ice cream without the drawbacks , this similarity to other logos may be one successful part of the branding .
 This frozen yogurt shop has gained quite a following despite being located in only a few cities , partially due to the healthier nature of its products . The less sweetened yogurt is tangier than the average frozen treat and a variety of healthy toppings such as fresh fruit and granola are available for the health conscious consumer to choose from . The logo shows this value with a primarily green color , as this is a hue generally associated with plants and healthy foods . The image to the right of the words features the pink berry for which the chain is named , in a round , friendly shape .
 This ice cream is different from others because it is deep frozen into tiny balls that melt into ice cream as they are eaten . The logo is in soft , pastel colors with casual lower case writing . Pastel dots refer to the nature of the product while also forming a friendly , inclusive circle . The tagline is written at the bottom : ‘ the ice of the future ’ . It is impossible to look at this logo and not understand that this ice cream is different from the competition , making it a clear winner .
 This regional ice cream chain offers the same playful blue and pink color scheme as many other frozen treat shops , but with a key difference . The colors are used as outlining on otherwise white letters that are in a thick , traditional font with serifs . To the right is a soft serve ice cream cone with sprinkles arcing toward it in a wave - like shape that connotes movement and growth . Because this company is constantly growing and offering new products and locations , this is a very appropriate image .
 This ice cream shop offers the familiar pink and blue colors , but in a circular shape that is friendly and inviting . The cow that is the central character of the store is in the center of the circle smiling . The playful lettering appeals to children and families , while the use of a character is a good branding move for these audiences as well . The use of ‘ treatery ’ in the name rather than ‘ eatery ’ is a play on words that makes the store all the more inviting .
 Like Dairy Queen and other ice cream stores , Foster ’s Freeze offers a full line of fast food products . However , the company focus is on the ice cream as well as the general retro experience of the store . The logo retains the inviting fifties image with old - fashioned cursive writing while the wording ‘ old fashion ’ further portray ’s this image . The ice cream cone character resembles the soft serve cone that is the establishment ’s best known product , while adding more retro charm . The deep blue color palette is cool and inviting .

lol with the leightons: New Year? New Rule.
I made up a “new rule” for our Casa. For, specifically, My Sweet Hubby (MSH).
If you’re going to tell me to read an article you found in the newspaper? You have to have read it first. All of it.
For the one-millionth time, MSH, (and, actually, TLC), I am not a hoarder. Pack Rat? Possibly. Certainly not a hopeless one. Let’s say I’m a Sorta-Semi-Pack-Rat, okay?
I asked MSH if he’d read the article. No, he said. I didn’t.
He was promptly informed about the NEW RULE.
Since it’s a New Year? This, I believe, was perfect timing.

Most people are aware of the important role that vitamin D plays in overall health but many are not aware of how vitamin C works to prevent cancer.
Add more fiber to your diet to boost your immune system against the risk of cancer.
Fiber, often called bulk or roughage is the part of grains, fruits, and vegetables that your body cannot digest. It helps move food through your digestive tract, playing a key role in keeping it clean and healthy by removing any cancer-causing compounds before they create harm.
Brassicas are considered the world’s healthiest vegetables. They are a family of vegetables known for their disease fighting benefits and many know them by their more common name: cruciferous vegetables.
Just like most vegetables, they are low in calories, sodium and fat, a good source of fiber and a wealthy source of essential vitamins and minerals and are some of the best defenses against disease for adults.
Nearly all nuts pack a potent punch when it comes to nutrition and provide our bodies with an impressive list of essential nutrients and antioxidants.
Nuts offer the healthy kinds of fats and they are high in protein. They are also high in monounsaturated fats that help to lower cholesterol and soluble fiber which also helps by lowering cholesterol, regulating bowels and has recently been shown to lower the amount of fat stored in the abdominal area. In research done over 5 years, for every 10 grams of soluble fiber consumed, belly fat was decreased by 3.7%…pretty impressive.
It is well known that elevated blood sugar is the precursor to diabetes but what is not so well known is the fact that glucose or insulin levels are also risk factors for cancers and the risk rises as insulin levels rise.
Insulin is the hormone that instructs the body’s cells to uptake glucose from the blood-stream but when the cells have all they can handle they shut the door and won’t let anymore in.

In September 2010 the first Belvedere group to be offered classes in Mandarin and Chinese culture began their studies. The course was heavily oversubscribed and now there are twenty students in the class. They hope to continue their classes for at least four years and possibly longer if a Leaving Certificate examination in Chinese Studies is introduced. In the case of Belvedere, securing a partner school for a student exchange was a primary objective.
On 11th October the Irish principals arrived in Beijing and paid a visit to the headquarters of the Confucius Institute in the afternoon. Dr. Liming Wang, director of UCD Confucius Institute for Ireland and Mr. Wang Feng, programme manager in charge of the communication affairs of Confucius Institute, welcomed the delegation and introduced them to the headquarter’s mission and running programmes.
The Irish delegation attended the seminar on Chinese and Irish Secondary Education on 12th October. Communicating a real enthusiasm to develop possible twinning projects and exchange programs, 12 Chinese principals introduced their schools and warmly invited Irish principals to visit their school. A special demonstration of Chinese language class was organized for the delegation on the 13th October, so that they could have a better understanding of the process of learning and teaching languages. The demonstration was held in the College of International Education of Minzu University of China (MUC).
After the demonstration, Mr. Yinghui Wu, Dean of the College of International Education, introduced the department of ‘Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language’ and international students in MUC. He also invited students from Ireland to study in China after graduating from secondary schools. Two students from Belvedere College SJ have already benefitted from a scholarship for a month’s study in Shanghai University during the summer, at the end of Transition Year. Mr. Foley the Headmaster visited School 80, one of the most respected state schools in Beijing. There, he and Tian Shulin, the Principal, established an exchange for students to commence in March 2011. To have an in-depth idea of how Chinese secondary schools are running, the Irish delegation also paid a visit to Beijing New Talent Academy. It’s an internationalized boarding institute integrating kindergarten, elementary school, junior & senior high school,the Cambridge International Centre university foundation program and the Chinese language program.
Apart from educational visits and academic seminars, Irish principals also paid visits to the Forbidden City (whose entrance is pictured here), the Great Wall, Olympic Stadiums and other historical scenic spots in Beijing. The delegation travelled to Shanghai on the 16th October and visited the Chinese and Irish pavilions in the Shanghai Expo venue.

Can you believe week six of school is already coming to a close? It seems like just yesterday freshman were moving in and it was syllabus week. Currently we are in the middle of mid-terms and it is a stressful time on campus. People are rushing about from class to class, studying, and working on those projects that are due in the coming weeks. But that is okay, there is only a week left in mid-term season and life on campus will be back to normal.
All the hours studying this semester have made me think about my three favorite places to study on campus, and I thought I would share them with you!
GSIS Building: There is a lounge in the GSIS building with couches and tables for students to relax and study at. It is one of the newer buildings on campus and is normally pretty quit during the day (except when classes are transitioning). Perfect if you want to be left alone to study or do homework.
Everyone I have talked to has different places they prefer to study but these are my top picks. Hope these help you find your quiet place to study, and ace your mid-terms. I wish everyone brains as they continue through mid-term season, it will be over soon!
My name is Marquette Davis and I studied abroad in the United Kingdom for one month in the summer of 2016. Although this program is called a study abroad in England, I say the United Kingdom because in the month that we were there, we were not just in England. We had the opportunity to explore the entire United Kingdom. Many of the locals we met told us, upon hearing our travel plans for the month, we would get to see more of England and more of the UK than they had ever seen and they had lived there their entire lives. Traveling to the big city of London and the small seaside towns of Northern England and Scotland and the historic cities Newcastle, Edinburgh, and Bath, and the scenic towns of Wales, we took part in an awesome adventure all over the United Kingdom. And the greatest part about it was that we could personalize it because we were in our own van. And the second greatest part about it was that we probably walked as many miles as we drove, which made for some incredible and unusual sightseeing.
Aside from the wonder of all the travel and the cultural experiences we got to partake in, the different foods we tried and the various people we met, it was an intellectually stimulating experience. Completing seven credit hours in one month, every day was busy with classes and homework. Classroom and lab times were never boring and the small class setting made each penny per credit worthwhile. Be warned, however, that the work load was not for the faint of heart. One of the greatest lessons I learned while in England was how to seize the day and make the most of my experiences, meanwhile completing a semester’s worth of school work in four weeks. Sleep became a secondary need. I made the most of my time there and maintained a pleasing grade and still did not have any regrets about any missed opportunities. Even as we traveled, we lived and breathed what we had learned in our classes, making them all the more worthwhile and exciting.
In addition, we were in the United Kingdom at the time of the mass shooting in Orlando and at the time of the Brexit vote by which the United Kingdom withdrew from the European Union. With these events occurring, we were able to experience how a massive tragedy in the U.S. is globally affective. Walking the streets of London, we even came across a banner that read, “We Stand with Orlando.” And we were able to see firsthand the reaction of the UK people to a major national event. Needless to say, with these events taking place and our presidential election upon us, the English people were eager to know our political stances on several issues, including gun laws, nationalism, and Trump/Bernie/Hilary, and they were eager to share their opinions on their own national issues. I had the pleasure, for example, escaping the rain one evening in Bath, to talk to the manager of a shoe store for a brief time who excitedly conversed with me over British and American politics.
This brings me to my next point. Of all the amazing history and incredible places we saw, it was the people that I will remember most and hold most dear to my heart. Granted I came across more rude people than I had ever encountered, but the good outweighed the bad. I will always remember the three locals we shared jokes with at the smallest pub in the UK; the friendly Chinese couple I listened to one of our students practice her Chinese with during high tea on the Thames River; the kind French girl who led our horseback ride along the beach in Inverary, Scotland; the professors at our host university; all our friendly waiters and waitresses; the pub owner who helped us struggle through the Welsh word “Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch” for extra credit; the employees of Dunollie Castle who allowed us to conduct a crime scene investigation in the middle of their work day and even participated as witnesses and interviewees; and all others who took our pictures, gave us directions, or made friendly conversation with us on the buses, trains, and planes along the way. I am particularly grateful and would like to give a shout out to the employees of United who were so helpful to me in the airport when I had issues with my flights and had to find my way home. And lastly, in the month I was in England, together in good times and in bad, I developed a relationship with my fellow students and with our professor that I will always cherish. Above all the experiences and sights, it is these people that I will hold dear when I remember my study abroad.
From my study abroad experience, I gained seven credits toward my degree, friendships I will always be able to turn to with my fellow students, and a mentor that I truly respect in my professor. In addition, as a GSIS student, I achieved my first international experience that I believe has opened the door to many more international travels and potential career opportunities. I discovered the path I want to take in my degree program by taking Interviewing Techniques and Forensic Science and finding out what I really enjoyed to do. I grew as a person, figuring out my way through a foreign country and culture with a group of people that were mostly strangers to me before the study abroad, and was exposed to the diversity that exists just between two English speaking western cultures, really opening my eyes to the incredible diversity that exists globally.
I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to study in England in the summer of 2016. I will never forget my time there and will eternally appreciate all the incredible experiences.
I’m Trupti Mahendrakar from Bangalore, India. Exploring and innovating is my passion. I joined Riddle in Fall 2015. Since then till now, I was encouraged and motivated to do what I like. Professor’s here are so helpful. The entire institution makes me feel at home. My first semester here, I came up with an idea of making Graphene based composites. Later, I got to know that the University encourages and funds student researches through Ignite or Undergraduate Research Institute (URI). All I had to do was to find a Professor who can help me with my project and find a group of people who are interested. Thus, I started Alternate Composite Team (ACT).
Here are some pictures of me and my team working. It may not look fun but remember “Appearance can be deceptive.” So come on over and try it yourself.
I am officially signing off for good. It has been an awesome four years blogging for all of our readers out there but, its time to go!! I am happy to say that I have a job now, in the “real world” as the professors at ERAU like to call it.
As some of you know from my previous blogs I got my job through AFROTC, which I was involved in over the last 4 years at Riddle. It is a great program and if you are willing to give it a shot you can learn a lot about yourself while securing a future position in the Air Force. Not everyone makes it through but, boy does it feel good if you are one of the lucky ones who does!
Summer is a great time where free time is not scarce. However if you don’t plan it well it can become really boring after a couple of weeks.
My summer started in May right after I finished my hardest test, Themes and Humanities. An English class can be quite challenging. That day I came straight home and I fell sleep for about 12 hours until the next day. Some people go out dinner, others go out to party, others start driving back home, I just wanted to sleep. I was exhausted.
I was busy to hanging out, going to the lake to do nothing other than lay down at the shore, and I started playing chess again at the Prescott Public Library (By the way, those elder men know how play chess, I didn’t win one single game.) —-The remaining 2 months is a story for another time.
I realize that having fun and doing what you love is as important as getting good grades. I started thinking “How I could stop doing what I love to do?” I came to conclusion that there has to be a balance between college and time for yourself and this year as a sophomore, I am going to find this balance.

I am particularly grateful and would like to give a shout out to the employees of United who were so helpful to me in the airport when I had issues with my flights and had to find my way home . And lastly , in the month I was in England , together in good times and in bad , I developed a relationship with my fellow students and with our professor that I will always cherish . Above all the experiences and sights , it is these people that I will hold dear when I remember my study abroad .
 From my study abroad experience , I gained seven credits toward my degree , friendships I will always be able to turn to with my fellow students , and a mentor that I truly respect in my professor . In addition , as a GSIS student , I achieved my first international experience that I believe has opened the door to many more international travels and potential career opportunities . I discovered the path I want to take in my degree program by taking Interviewing Techniques and Forensic Science and finding out what I really enjoyed to do . I grew as a person , figuring out my way through a foreign country and culture with a group of people that were mostly strangers to me before the study abroad , and was exposed to the diversity that exists just between two English speaking western cultures , really opening my eyes to the incredible diversity that exists globally .
 I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to study in England in the summer of 2016 . I will never forget my time there and will eternally appreciate all the incredible experiences .
 I ’m Trupti Mahendrakar from Bangalore , India . Exploring and innovating is my passion . I joined Riddle in Fall 2015 . Since then till now , I was encouraged and motivated to do what I like . Professor ’s here are so helpful . The entire institution makes me feel at home . My first semester here , I came up with an idea of making Graphene based composites . Later , I got to know that the University encourages and funds student researches through Ignite or Undergraduate Research Institute ( URI ) . All I had to do was to find a Professor who can help me with my project and find a group of people who are interested . Thus , I started Alternate Composite Team ( ACT ) .
 Here are some pictures of me and my team working . It may not look fun but remember “ Appearance can be deceptive . ” So come on over and try it yourself .
 I am officially signing off for good . It has been an awesome four years blogging for all of our readers out there but , its time to go ! ! I am happy to say that I have a job now , in the “ real world ” as the professors at ERAU like to call it .
 As some of you know from my previous blogs I got my job through AFROTC , which I was involved in over the last 4 years at Riddle . It is a great program and if you are willing to give it a shot you can learn a lot about yourself while securing a future position in the Air Force . Not everyone makes it through but , boy does it feel good if you are one of the lucky ones who does !
 Summer is a great time where free time is not scarce . However if you do n’t plan it well it can become really boring after a couple of weeks .
 My summer started in May right after I finished my hardest test , Themes and Humanities . An English class can be quite challenging . That day I came straight home and I fell sleep for about 12 hours until the next day . Some people go out dinner , others go out to party , others start driving back home , I just wanted to sleep . I was exhausted .
 I was busy to hanging out , going to the lake to do nothing other than lay down at the shore , and I started playing chess again at the Prescott Public Library ( By the way , those elder men know how play chess , I did n’t win one single game . ) — -The remaining 2 months is a story for another time .
 I realize that having fun and doing what you love is as important as getting good grades . I started thinking “ How I could stop doing what I love to do ? ” I came to conclusion that there has to be a balance between college and time for yourself and this year as a sophomore , I am going to find this balance .
