Apache: adding early client IP and local socket IP options to RequestHeader
Patch description:
When using Apache 2.4 behind a load balancer or proxy along with mod_remoteip, it may be handy for underlying scripts or configuration to know which IP address the direct client (balancer/proxy itself) making the request has. Alas, due to mod_remoteip replacing the IP with the real client IP, this may come tricky. Adding this on balancer is also not always possible because the source IP for connection to HTTP server is not known to balancer at the moment of header mangling.
Also, sometimes it may be handy to make underlying scripts/configuration know about the IP HTTP server accepted connection at, i.e. for multihomed servers.
This small and inobtrusive patch adds two % options to RequestHeader value parser along with the existing ones:
%a - this is substituted with the connecting client IP address, and if used in combination with early option, it provides IP before mod_remoteip does its job.
%A - this is substituted with the IP address of local socket accepting the connection, it provides server IP that the connection is landing onto.
RequestHeader set X-Balancer-IP %a early
RequestHeader set X-Local-IP %A early
Tested against Apache 2.4.27 in production, compatible with Apache 2.4.28.
Chaos Constructions 2017
Recently I have visited Chaos Constructions 2017 demoscene party, held in Saint-Petersburg.
Knowing almost nobody from there, I was just capturing things from both the public and scenic parts of it.
It's may be not a good show for outsider, but those who like demoscene, retro PC coding and stuff should definitely visit it at least once.

HP SmartArray P400/P400i HPSA driver with 2Tb and more LUN support for ESXi 5.1/5.5/6.0/???
This is post copied from the old blog that seems to be relevant even now. Basically, those using P400/P400i on ESXi usually hit the major issue: cciss driver provided by ESXi does not support LUNs >2Tb in size while controller itself (with newer firmwares) does. Alas, it's not only driver problem but essentially the ESXi SCSI emulation layer issue is involved and so directly patching cciss driver was impossible.
What's provided there is pair of drivers for ESXi 5.1 (both VIBs must be installed for support to work) that make hpsa driver claim the P400(i) controller and cciss driver to ignore it. Of course, you should have driver support level set to 'third-party' for this to work, effectively making your ESXi system unsupported.
These VIBs were tested for years by multiple people with ESXi 5.5 and even 6.0, and found working. Nevertheless, they are obsolete AF now and always should be used at your own risk only. I hereby propose they come without any warranties and I cannot be made liable for any data loss, broken extremities, major traffic accidents or whatever resulting from your use of this driver set. It is provided only because people still search for it and find it useful.

Ratings and ReviewsSee All
Editors' Choice
Plenty of games cast you as an outgoing hero, exploring the wilds with sword in hand - but nobody does it quite like Superbrothers. Stunning art, a haunting soundtrack and poetic storytelling combine to create a magical, mythical mystery that stays with you long after you put it down.
Amazing game with just one noticeable bug
This game is a must play, hands down. Simply magical.
To the developers: don't know if it's an iPhone 6 bug or an iOS 11 bug, but sometimes coming out of a battle, the game gets stuck in a state where it thinks that one finger is pressed continuously on the screen in the lower corner. As a result, you become unable to move your character or get out of that state. Only force quitting the app and starting over resolves the issue. Obviously, HW is iPhone 6 and SW is iOS 11.1.2.
Way Cool
I'm upgrading my review to excellent. The first time I tried to play was on my iPhone and it was a disaster as the screen is way too small to see what's going on. Let's say I was a bit frustrated and leave it at that. Anyway, I played today on my iPad and - ta da- S&S is everything I was promised by reviews: artistic and innovative graphics; appealing soundtrack; a challenging game and best of all, a slightly snarky vein of humor that makes this entertainment rather than a battle game. There is a bit of sword action required - which is so not my thing but it works here. In the past I would have avoided the game for that reason but I'm actually having fun with it. Old dog, new tricks. Hmm, will the wonders never cease? As such, it's worth the small price- Highly recommended. Oh, btw, no directions. One must think. Kudos to the creators. (Your minds would be very interesting places to visit)!

ScenicSoft Releases TrapWise 3.2, Workflow Enhancements for PDF & PostScript
Friday, May 25, 2001
Press release from the issuing companyMay 24, 2001 Lynnwood, Washington . . . ScenicSoft has just released TrapWise 3.2, the latest version of the industry's best selling stand-alone trapping application. TrapWise 3.2 delivers improved support for in-RIP color separations, including full control over color mapping and overprinting. "The sophisticated new color handling offers exciting new possibilities for users of composite workflows, allowing them to take full advantage of the in-RIP separation capabilities provided by current generations of PostScript and PDF RIPs," said Paul Verwilt, TrapWise Product Marketing Manager. Additionally, support for downsampling of image data dramatically improves preview and trapping performance on files with high-resolution images. "The big performance improvements, as well as the nearly 50 user requests and issues that have been addressed, make this the best release of TrapWise yet," said Verwilt. These improvements in TrapWise 3.2 build on the improvements that were added in TrapWise 3.1. TrapWise 3.1 added enhanced compatibility with PDF and additional DTP applications, JPEG file support, control over the "treat ink as vector" feature, and support for USB and virtual memory, as well as performance enhancements for complex files. In addition, TrapWise 3.1 added a fully integrated Adobe PostScript 3 RIP. TrapWise 3.2 and TrapWise Remote 3.2 (sold separately) are available for both Macintosh and Windows NT platforms. Also new to the TrapWise 3.x releases is the "one hardware key fits all" iKey USB solution, enabling users who work on both platforms to operate interchangeably with the same hardware key and license. ADB hardware keys for Macintosh and SentinelSuperPro hardware keys for Windows are also still available. TrapWise 3.2 for NT includes Color Central Lite, a scaled-down version of ScenicSoft's Color Central OPI and print management server. Color Central Lite enables automation of TrapWise and TrapWise Remote. For TrapWise 3.x users, this is a no-charge update and can be downloaded from http://www.scenicsoft.com.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha and hypertensive heart disease
Goikoetxea M.J., Beaumont J., Díez J.

Magazine: Drugs
Date: Feb 1, 2004Cardiology
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) is a ligand-activated transcription factor belonging to the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily. It is expressed by cardiomyocytes and regulates gene expression of key proteins involved in myocardial lipid and energy metabolism. Accordingly, the activitity of PPARalpha is an important determinant of cardiomyocyte lipid homeostasis and ATP production.
Currently, animal and human data suggest that deactivation of PPARalpha may contribute substantially to phenotypic changes that accompany cardiac growth in conditions of pressure overload, and the hypothesis emerges that a compromised PPARalpha activity may participate in the transition from compensated left ventricular hypertrophy to heart failure in hypertensive heart disease.
The availability of PPARalpha activators (e.g. fibric acid derivates and statins) must stimulate investigation into the potential cardioprotective actions of these compounds beyond their hypolipidaemic effects and via restoration of PPARalpha activity in the hypertrophied and failing heart.

It's becoming something of an annual tradition for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: travel to the Middle East and in literally every public appearance refer to Iran's "pursuit of nuclear weapons" and the consequent need for more stringent sanctions. Last March, no less than a half-dozen times in the span of a week Clinton, in press conferences from Egypt to Israel, dished out some of the harshest and most militant rhetoric from the Obama administration up to that point on Iran's "aggressive" pursuit of nukes. This past week, Clinton again toured the Middle East, reprising her by now familiar role as the Obama administration's point person for hawkish, moralizing lectures against the few remaining non-U.S. client states in the region.
"We think the time has come for the world community to take a position which perhaps will penetrate into all of the decision-making arenas that exist now within Iran, and cause some reconsideration not of their peaceful program, which I know the Iranian people support and have every right to have, but of their nuclear weapons military program," Clinton said at the U.S.-Islamic World Forum in Doha.
Responding to a question during a separate townhall-style interview, however, Clinton seemingly slipped up by declaring that the U.S. goal, "eventually, is to have a Middle East free of nuclear weapons." There is, of course, just one country in the region that possesses nukes: Israel, which is widely acknowledged to have at least 100 of them. The U.S. and Israeli governments, however, officially deny this is case, preferring ambiguity over open acknowledgment, which risks drawing attention to the glorious hypocrisy at play. Even aside from the tacit admission of Israeli nukes, that hypocrisy was already on full display.
Back at the World Forum, Clinton earlier maintained the U.S. position "regarding Iran's nuclear program is simple. We believe that all states, including Iran, start with the same rights and the same responsibilities." This is demonstrably untrue, though. The U.S. and other Western governments, for example, openly flaunt their nuclear weapons arsenals as part of their official national security "deterrence" (dick waving) strategies as they boost spending on developing new and improved means of incinerating their enemies with atomic efficiency. Existing nuclear powers having been graciously grandfathered in on the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, however, these governments need only take meek steps toward reducing their stockpiles, it being okay to possess enough nukes to destroy the world once-over, but twice being a tad gauche. Iran, on the other hand, is not an empire but a mere nation, and as Clinton notes thus only permitted "the right to nuclear power so long as they accept the responsibility of demonstrating unequivocally that their programs are used solely for peaceful civilian purposes."
If a country never even takes the good-faith step of committing to the non-proliferation treaty — Israel, Pakistan, India; U.S. allies and recipients of taxpayer largess all — all is permitted, under de facto U.S. policy, seemingly undermining the incentive for signing up to the agreement in the first place, given it subjects a signatory to possible charges of non-compliance but offers little certainty one can pursue a nuclear energy program in peace and security. But reason and sanity have never been useful guides to U.S. foreign policy, which, as Steve Hynd notes, is increasingly recalling memories of the 2002 buildup to the Iraq war, complete with media sycophancy — the administration's distortion of its own intelligence agencies findings a complete non-story in the mainstream press — and dubious claims of WMDs and emerging threats dominating the airwaves, so much so even our right and honorable statesmen sometimes forget what year it is.
Take Hillary Clinton (no really, please, take her) at the townhall event in Qatar:
"Now, I have spent a lot of time talking with the leaders, and leading influential people from the Gulf and the broader Middle East. And they worry a lot about Iraq having nuclear weapons."
For remembrance's sake, Clinton on the floor of the Senate in 2002:
"[I]ntelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program."
Seems like old times. Even if not seeking to start an actual shooting war, each day the Obama administration trumps a threat of an Iranian nuclear weapons program its own intelligence officials and international inspectors have found no evidence to prove even exists makes it easier for Israel — or a President Palin — to justify military action of their own. In the meantime, perhaps the best we can hope for is that President Obama's troubles on the domestic front don't lead him to start reading Daniel Pipes.

Every one of us is surrounded by friends. Some people have many of them and some have a few. Regardless how many friends do you have, it won't change the fact that friends are really important in our life. We can't deny the precious moments when we were young where we started to mingle and play with our friends. It was the time when we started to build the friendship in our neighborhood, in our school and in any places where people meet other people at the park, in the church, at the mall and many others.
There are times that it's not easy to win and make friends. When a friend introduces another friend, the tribe will increase certainly. It multiplies. But how do we choose friends? Because he or she is a friend of mine, we can also be friends. Because he or she is my friend, he or she has the right to befriend my common friends. That's a simple logic. However, how do we know that he or she is a good friend? Perhaps this would vary in different situations. She is a good friend because she's very kind. She is a good friend because she's very understanding. She is a good friend because she's always ready to help whenever you need some help. These cases could support the truth for a certain good friend in your life. But there is a contrary of this situation. She's only a good friend whenever she needs something from you. For example, she wants to borrow some money. That friend knows you very well and persuades you so much in a way that you could lend some money for her. Another thing is, she's a good friend because she just wants to ask a favor from you. She wants you to help her assignment or project in school, is a clear example. These are the only few cases where we should see the pros and cons of having a good friend.
Yes, it's true. There are bad friends. We can't deny the fact that some of them are everywhere. But we can help them change from being bad. We need to talk to them. We need to clarify things why is he or she like that. There are factors why are they bad. One thing is the feeling of bitterness against someone. He or she is envious. He or she is moody and don't want to be with other people most of the time. No matter what the reason is, bad friends need good friends. Of course, it's really hard to get along with them at the beginning. However, as the time goes by, they would be influenced to be good

Make your holiday worthwhile – also for others
It happens quite often: While you packed carefully for your holiday, you won't even have used half of the stuff during your holiday. One pair of flip-flops, 2 pair of shorts and 7 shirts also do, instead of the additional 10 you packed. So in the end you give the remaining room in your bags to your girlfriend. How about, next time you say no to her ;) Because there is something much better that you can do with the space in your bag. Pack for a Purpose is an organisation which wants you to pack useful things for people in need your holiday country. Pencils, stethoscopes, footballs without air – this way, more than 28,5 tons of donations have been made and shipped to people over the past five years. And you can now be part of this great idea
'Pack for a Purpose' – Small things with huge impact
'Gosh! Why haven't I thought about that before?' – Rebecca and Scott Rothney booked 7 days of Safari in Africa, to see lions, giraffes, go camping camping – everything included. They could bring 19 kilos of luggage, because the Jeep wouldn't fit much more. On the plane, however, they were allowed 45 kilos. Rebecca is the person behind Pack for a Purpose and rightly she has been voted by National Geographic 'Traveller of the Year'.
Rebecca and her husband have seen so many parts of the world in the last couple of years. 'No matter where I go, I see myself as a part of the local community. Through my parents' sense of responsibility I was inculcated with the belief that if you are part of a community, for however short a time, you are responsible for contributing to that community in whatever way you are able. My mother made it very clear that you always bring a hostess gift to someone to thank them for their hospitality.' She couldn't forget about the remaining 26 kilos of empty space in her bag. So before she returned the next time to Africa, she contacted a school in the area that she was visiting. She asked them if they were in need of anything such as books, skipping ropes, toys or even medicine – in the end the Rothneys packed their 64 kilo luggage and took them along to that school. 'The principal almost wept when she saw the rulers, as there was not a single ruler in the school. Even though the classrooms were well-built, the school had limited supplies. There was not a soccer ball either and watching the children play with one of the five we brought gave us inestimable joy!"
28,5 tons of donations – travellers from all around the world are packing
What started with 64 kilos is today more than 28.500 kilos! An international charity mission developed: Thanks to the internet… Rebecca and Scott encouraged friends and people from all over the world to help and created the website www.packforapurpose.org. 'Through the internet we can reach like-minded people from all over the world who want to travel in a meaningful way.' Through her daily internet research, Rebecca is discovering various projects of tourist enterprises which have already been honoured for their local work and help in social projects. 'We want to make it as easy as possible for the traveler', Rebecca explains, 'There are many hotels, hostels, home stays and tour companies that support the work of local projects. I know that there are a lot of travelers who would like to help but don't know how and also don't really want to have too much effort. That's why we provide easy access.' So, if you want to participate in this charity project you can book your stay in such hotels which support one the local projects. when you arrive, you hand your donation to a hotel employee, who forward your things to those in need. What you can also do is contacting a cooperating tour provider who then collects your donations. Or you can do it all yourself and look for a project near your destination to deliver your gifts in person!
'Coloured Pencils, Pens, Footballs, New or Gently Used Children's Clothing and Shoes' – the list shows that what's missing can often be the simplest things. On Rebecca's website you can have a look at the different projects, categorised according to the countries they are located in. There you can see a full list of all the things that are badly needed. It is asked to read carefully through the lists, though, as only the local project leaders know exactly what the school, institution, orphanage or home is short of. 'The locals themselves know best what is needed.' Yummy chocolate and lollipops are well meant, 'but many children, especially in rural areas listed on our website,don't have a toothbrush or access to a dentist, and cavities are no fun', Rebecca explains. This is why you should stick to the lists, because 'because those are the only things that are currently needed.' Until now, many organisations from all around the world contact the 'Pack for a Purpose'-team and ask them for support. Whether it's animal shelters, hospitals, food canteens, or Kindergartens – there are no institutions excluded. 'We want to list every locally supported project that helps make the world a little bit better,' is Rebecca's philosophy. By now there are as many as 889 programs registered in more than 60 countries on the website. All in all, 510,759 people have already been helped by the donations.
Irish Dancing included…
The Success as well as the number of people involved are constantly increasing. In 2013, travellers packed more than 8250 kilos into their bag for 'Pack for a Purpose'. In 2014, the number has reached 10.81 tons until September. A higher interest of the media, a bigger reach and most importantly more 'Gosh! Why haven't I thought about that before?'-moments make the mission grow even more. In Ireland, too, the project gains more and more attention. The Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve in South Africa, a rural school for farm workers' children recently received a 3.5 kilo parcel from Ireland, including a demonstration in Irish Dancing, which the pupils loved!
The Sky is the Limit – with just a little help from you
In future, the goal of 'Pack for a Purpose' is growing even more and becoming better known. Every day Rebecca Rothney hunts for new projects that the project could support. And 'Right now we are working on developing a partnership with university exchange programs,' Rebecca explains. 'We also want to convince international medical conventions to come join our project.'
Some of the donations that Rebecca gets for her project go to those dedicated interns who coordinate Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and the rest of the IT stuff! 'As a mostly volunteer organization, interns are 'paid' in my hot-out-of-the-oven chocolate mint chip cookies and occasionally lunch. Everyone here works towards making the world a better place.' Rebecca hasn't been working for the past two years. 'My husband Scott is a full-time worker, so I can fully dedicate myself to the project – even if that means I have to sit in front of that computer for 10 hours every single day. That wasn't exactly how I ever pictured myself,' she laughs, 'But as long as it helps the people, I am happy'. 'Pack for a Purpose' has not yet been abused in any country. 'Of course it could happen that some supplies given to a teacher or clinic could end up on the black market,' Rebecca explains, 'but so far we don't know of a single case where this happened.' But even if only 10% of the donations get into the wrong hands, 'it's still 90% that arrives safely – a good enough reason to keep going, don't you think?'
My dear Holidayguru Followers, I am really impressed by 'Pack for a Purpose'! With just a little bit of effort you can change a lot and make so many people happy. Maybe you can pack one pair of flip flops less on your next holiday and replace the other pairs of shoes with bandages, note pads or pencils :) Whatever way you do it, you can pack 200 grams or 20 kilos – but please do it!
How to help with 'Pack for a Purpose'
1) Go to www.packforapurpose.org
2) Select your destination – Are you going to Asia, Africa, South America or Europe?
3) Select the country you travel to
4) Next to the 'Lodgings' section you can see which projects your specific area is offering. Choose one or click through all of them to see what things are needed where
5) Buy a few things you see on the list that fit in your bag – even if it's only 2 kilos.
6) Your hotel may already support the project and you can simply hand your donations over at the reception. Or you contact one of the tour providers who support the project to pick up your donations. Third option: You can visit the organisation you chose and bring them your donations in person.

Exotic Car Insurance: The 5 Keys to Get Proper Coverage for Your Vehicle
Getting an exotic or luxury car is a lot of fun. However, the costs of these vehicles do not stop at the cars themselves.
A lot of buyers ignore the additional cost of having to get exotic auto insurance for the vehicle.
When compared to regular car insurance, exotic car insurance often comes with higher premiums.
There are a few reasons for this, such as the added cost to repair exotic car parts, or the increased likelihood of the car being stolen or vandalized.
Here are the fives keys to get proper exotic car insurance coverage for a luxury or sports vehicle.
Ask About Exotic Car Insurance Driving Experience Requirements
There are certain driving requirements if you wish to get an affordable exotic car insurance policy. Many insurance companies will require that the driver of the exotic vehicle have at least five years of road experience.
If the car is damaged in an accident and the driver had less than five years of driving experience, the insurance company may not cover the damage caused by this crash.
There are even companies that will expressly forbid the owner from allowing anyone with less than five years of road experience to drive this vehicle.
If the car is damaged in an accident and the driver had less than five years of driving experience, the insurance company may not cover the damage caused by this crash.
Having owned a luxury vehicle in the past is a good way to get discounts on exotic car insurance. This shows the insurance company that you know how to drive, handle and care for such vehicles. They factor this into the premiums offered.
For those who do not meet the driving experience requirement, you may have to look into other exotic car insurance discounts to make up for the increased premium prices. This is necessary for younger individuals who may want to own and drive luxury or sports vehicles.
Understand your Luxury Vehicle's Value
Understanding the value of your luxury vehicle and how this value factors into the exotic car insurance policy is of fundamental importance. Not only must the owner know exactly how much the car is worth when the policy starts, but they must understand how a changing value is handled by this policy.
There are also exotic car insurance policies where the stated value is covered, which is often less than the actual value you can get by selling the car.
For example, certain policies start with the actual cash value of the vehicle. They will cover this amount. The value is then depreciated, with the owner of the car paying a deductible.
There are also exotic car insurance policies where the stated value is covered, which is often less than the actual value you can get by selling the car. While this gives you less money if the car is totaled, it may mean you pay less in exotic auto insurance premiums.
The best thing you can do is to get the vehicle appraised before going in to discuss exotic auto insurance policies. This gives you a starting point in terms of haggling over the value with the insurance company.
With any exotic car insurance policy, the insurance provider and the owner will come to an agreement on the car's value.
Ask if the Luxury Car Insurance Policy Covers Appreciation
Classic cars are different from regular vehicles in many ways. Not only are they more expensive to maintain, they also go through value changes in a different manner.
It is important to talk with the insurance provider regarding the impact of appreciation on the exotic car insurance policy.
While a regular car will lose value as you drive it for more miles, the same cannot be said for all classic and exotic vehicles. Most classic cars will increase in value as the years go by, especially if the number of units of a specific model begins to dwindle.
It is important to talk with the insurance provider regarding the impact of appreciation on the exotic car insurance policy. There must be an appreciation clause in the policy. This allows for automatic appraisal of the vehicle and renewal of the policy every few years.
After two or three years pass, the car is appraised and the insurance company meets with the buyer to agree on a new value.
Policies that have no clause for appreciation with regards to the vehicle's value will not be worthwhile in the long term.
Understand your Responsibilities in Relation to Exotic Car Insurance
Every exotic car insurance policy comes with a lot of terms and conditions. In this respect, exotic car insurance does not differ from regular auto policies.
If you exceed this limit, you may find yourself driving the exotic vehicle on the road without any insurance coverage.
It is not enough to know the basics regarding your luxury car's insurance policy. You must familiarize yourself with the different conditions you must meet to keep the policy in effect.
For example, many exotic car insurance policies only allow the vehicle to be driven for a set number of miles per year.
If you exceed this limit, you may find yourself driving the exotic vehicle on the road without any insurance coverage. This can result in significant out of pocket expenses if you get into an accident.
Some policies are only in effect during certain seasons. For example, you can get cheaper exotic car insurance policies that only apply during the spring, summer and autumn months. Winter months are not covered, because the risk of accidents increases thanks to the wintery weather conditions.
Discover How to Reduce your Classic Auto Insurance Premiums
There are many ways to reduce auto insurance premiums on classic car insurance. One of the best ways is to show that this will not be your primary vehicle.
There are many exotic car insurance policies where you can get a significantly reduced policy where only comprehensive coverage is present.
Classic car owners who plan to use the vehicle for everyday commutes will pay a lot of money in exotic car insurance. In contrast, someone who already has a primary vehicle will get offered lower exotic car insurance premiums.
Why does this happen? Because owning a primary vehicle shows the insurance company that you will not drive the exotic car on a regular basis. When the vehicle is driven less, the risk of accidents and subsequent damage is also reduced. This results in lower premiums, because the insurance company is taking on less risk.
There are many exotic car insurance policies where you can get a significantly reduced policy where only comprehensive coverage is present. This means you are never planning on driving the car, and wish to keep it in your garage as a collector's item.
Keeping comprehensive coverage ensures the exotic car is protected from theft, vandals or natural disasters.

A life lived monotonously
has no value until and unless
it has experiences of adventure
-Simran Kaur
My mother is the most adventurous person in our family. She loves exploring new places and past histories. I, a studious or you may call a boring one who likes to sit at home and spend the whole holidays behind the books or other things but it has been my mother who helped me to raise my interest to know and learn about the life at other ends. She says, ''Tell me, how would be a life without experiences and that too lived monotonous?? ''
You're absolutely right mom!
Last year we planned our trip to the City of Lakes, Udaipur
We were four members, My mom- dad, elder brother and myself. We had a train from Gorakhpur to Kota on January 16, 2012 and we reached there on 17th by late morning. We stayed at my bua's place, since they had a busy schedule so we decided to visit places by our own self rather disturbing their schedule. We had a car
Honda Accord and by 2:00 PM
we set on to visit the Gurudwara to have baba ji's blessing where the shooting of film Machis took place.
'Spirituality within says
remember the God always'
We had our langar there. The next was Chambal garden
A statue at Chambal garden
'I have no speech but...yet I have my expressions that speaks better'
It is believed that the person who drinks the water of Chambal river develops a feeling of revenge!
'I am wide and flowing
always there to serve you
with kindness and love!'
sunset scene at Chambal Garden
'A ray of hope shines
Intertwine will and power
makes wonder at times'
We enjoyed the boating and the natural fascinating beauty of that place.
The next we proceeded to visit Balaji temple which is about 1 km from Chambal garden. The temple was so beautiful and that was the first time I visited to Balaji's temple.
'Dear God, you're the most close to my heart
the spirituality within me is devoted to only you
For it gives me inner peace and strength'
On the same night we had our train from Kota to Udaipur. We reached there on January 18th 2012 by early morning, there we stayed at my uncle's place. He is sweet and generous that he greeted us with a warm welcome and went along with us to see the beauty of Udaipur in his wonderful car Duster.
As we had planned to stay there for just two days so we decided to not waste our time. I'd already gathered information about the places we had to visit and I was damn excited to see City Palace built by the Maharana Udai Singh II in 1559.
But before that we had our visit to few more places in the way...
Saheliyon- ki- bari , lies in the northern part of the city and has fountains and kiosks built by Maharana Bhopal Singh.The thought was to form an illusion of rain dancing in cadence with dancing maids.
|Saheliyon- ki- bari
'I peep out with soft rush to attract your sight
but you know what actually there are some reasons confines'
The Kings used to enjoy around the pools and fountains of this garden.There is a small museum too exhibiting the huge collection of royal households.
'Lush of green
surrounds beauty and charm'
|Rajput hero Maharana Pratap
Moti Magri or Pearl Hill: Atop the Moti Magri or Pearl Hill, overlooking the Fateh Sagar Lake is the memorial of the Rajput hero Maharana Pratap with a bronze statue of the Maharana astride his favourite horse "Chetak".
In pride with dedication
and an extreme believe
to 'fight for yourself and right'
Vivid vivacity
Casting verve
Engrossing me with its beauty and calmness !
|City Palace in Udaipur
The City Palace in Udaipur was built in a flamboyant style and is considered the largest of its type in Rajasthan, a fusion of the Rajasthani and Mughal architectural styles, and was built on a hill top that gives a panoramic view of the city and its surrounding
The royal heritage
rolled with uncountable
histories of pride and dignity
my click from rope way
covered in mist and gloom
Beautiful miniature paintings on the walls and roofs of City palace
Since they were Suryavanshi they used to have their lunch after worshiping the Sun and on cloudy days they used to worship here.
|Beautiful view of Udaipur City from City Palace
I don't reside in a crowd
In fact, the crowd reside in me
An outlook of City Palace
Their kitchen
Chetak the favorite horse of Maharana Pratap had made to wear a structure similar to an elephant's trunk so that during the battles the elephants of enemies could not recognize and attack.
And we had our return on 19th
It was the most adventurous, exciting and thrilling trip I ever had and yet a perfect one !

Words From A Wise Man!
I'm told British people speak English just as we do. But I find the British use all kinds of words I've never heard of, many of them sound made up. And even familiar words are often spelled differently. The British apparently have a fondness for the letter "U" in places it simply doesn't belong.
Fortunately we have Dave Baker's blog to clear a lot of this up. Or maybe he's contributing to the decline of the American language. Whatever the case I have found "Things I Wasted Too Much Time On" time well-wasted.
Carry on Dave with your "labour of love".

Issue: The Calico Mountains Complex wild horse roundup.
Update: 1/2/10 on-site observation of the "Black Rock East" trap site at Paiute Meadows.
Persons present:
Craig Downer, Cloud Foundation
Elyse Gardner, Cloud Foundation
The following report is based on a telephone conversation with Craig Downer who returned to the trap site on Saturday when gather operations had resumed.
To determine if gather operations were conducted safely and followed appropriate gather management protocols.
(Please see the previous page on this subject.)
They day was cold and icy. The path of travel for the horses at the trap wings and inside the trap consisted primarily of hard packed snow. It did not appear that sand, straw or hay had been spread out to restore traction at the throat of the trap wings or in the sorting areas. Mr. Downer reported that there was an undesirable amount of slipping and sliding among the horses entering the trap and during the sorting process.
Mr. Downer further observed that the horses were not provided sufficient time to settle while in the trap system which seemed to contribute to the agitation of the animals in the corrals. One stallion jumped out of the trap system and escaped, pushing through a barbed wire fence on the ranch property to do so. (The observers nicknamed the stallion, "Freedom.")
While Mr. Downer expressed concerns over unnecessary risks associated with the footing conditions in the trap at and the pace in which horses were being handled, he did not report any accidents or injuries aside from the stallion likely receiving barbed wire cuts during his escape.
BLM reported that a foal had died during the previous day's operations. BLM would not let Mr. Downer inspect the foal. A necropsy report was provided to Mr. Downer, who forwarded it to us. We had a retired veterinary pathologist (DVM, PhD) who is also a wild horse advocate and adopter review the report. Her conclusions were that the report as described was valid.
The report and various comments can be viewed
While the foal could have had some preexisting condition, the circumstances following this incident have led advocates to speculate why BLM refused to let an experienced range ecologist inspect the foal. Not only would Dr. Kane have been able to point out his findings, but a valuable anatomy opportunity was lost. More importantly, inspection of the foal would have removed any doubts that the necropsy report was correct.
Mr. Downer reported that he did not observe BLM providing birth control to and (intentionally) releasing any horses back onto the range.

This report will be revised as may be appropriate after it has been posted.

Charting a new course for Los Angeles Schools.
As an LAUSD teacher in Watts, I witnessed firsthand how the system fails students and teachers and neglects our city's most vulnerable. But I remain confident that, with the right leadership, we can give every student the opportunity to succeed and reach their God-given potential.
This is my plan to L.I.G.H.T. a path toward a new system of public schools in LA.
Local Control and Autonomy
The Los Angeles Unified School District covers 27 cities, 710 square miles, and over 660,000 students. It should come as no surprise, then, that what works in one community may not work in another. I want to give our schools more local control to make the decisions that are right for them. We need more flexibility over school structure, budgeting, staffing, and community partnerships so that every classroom reflects its community and every educator can teach students at their level.
Innovation and Creative Thinking
The same old teaching methods are no longer working - we need new ideas. I will promote creativity in school design, classroom learning, and district governance. I plan to use technology to support families and schools and to find new ways to partner with LA's creative industries. And we need to share best practices across schools, from neighborhood schools to magnets to charters, so that all schools can learn from what works.
Great Choices for All Families
Regardless of zip code, families deserve access to great public school choices, including local neighborhood schools, innovative magnet programs, and nonprofit charter schools. And we need to help parents navigate those choices more easily. I will work to put all school options in one place, and I will help schools unify the application process and deadlines so all parents can choose the right school for their child. I'll also work to expand access to free preschool and pre-k programs throughout the city. Finally, I'll work to stop the spread of vouchers and other models that undermine our public schools.
Human Capital Development and Support
We need to overhaul the District's policies to better support our educators. I will work to incentivize high-performing teachers to teach in the schools that need them most. I also want to give teachers the training and support they need to become the best educator they can be. To do that, LAUSD needs a systematic way to recruit, develop, place and retain highly effective teachers.
Transparency and Accountability
The time has come for a new era of transparency and accountability. For too long, parents, students, and taxpayers have been kept in the dark about what's going on in District headquarters, from the true fiscal situation to graduation rates to facility needs. I want to modernize the District's website so our parents, students, and taxpayers can access real information about their schools and the system. You deserve to know exactly what your representatives are doing, or failing to do, to improve your schools.

Chucula refers to unsweetened chocolate rolled into a ball. Chocolate delivered in this form is completely without preservatives, but it does require reconstitution before consumption. The most common way is to dissolve it into hot water to make hot chocolate. Sweeten your beverage with panela.
The illustration above depicts eight servings wrapped in a dried plantain leaf.
This chucula and other artisan products are sold in Organicos Villa Aurora in Villa de Leyva. It occupies the same building as the Servientrega.

text: Men's Lacrosse 3/18/2016 1:01:46 PM Cannons Clinch Play-off Berth With 10-9 Win Final Stats (HTML) DENVER, Colo. - Midfielder Kevin Buchanan scored the game-winning goal with 1:06 remaining in the fourth quarter as the Boston Cannons (7-3) snapped a two-game losing streak with a 10-9 Major League Lacrosse victory over the Denver Outlaws (5-5) in front of 7,804 fans at INVESCO Field at Mile High on Saturday evening. With the win, the Cannons become the first team to secure a berth in the Sports Authority MLL Championship Weekend, which will take place August 27-28 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Meanwhile, the Outlaws move into a tie for third place in the MLL standings with Chesapeake and Long Island. After the teams traded goals in the first quarter, the Cannons took a 2-1 lead less than two minutes into the second quarter on a goal by attackman Matt Poskay. But, the Outlaws answered with back-to-back goals from attackmen Drew Westervelt and Brendan Mundorf to take a 3-2 advantage into the intermission. Midfielders Paul Rabil and Pat Heim scored a pair of unassisted goals in the opening three minutes of the third quarter to regain the Cannons' one-point lead at 3-2. However, the Outlaws responded by scoring three straight goals over a four-minute span to take a 5-3 lead with 7:19 left in the period. The teams exchanged goals in a 60-second span before defenseman Kyle Sweeney scored a shorthanded goal with 52 seconds left in the third quarter to trim the Cannons' deficit to 7-6. Westervelt scored his third goal of the game just 1:14 into the fourth quarter to give the Outlaws an 8-6 cushion, but midfielder Brad Ross erased the deficit by scoring a two-point goal off a feed from attackman Ryan Boyle with 6:32 left in regulation. With 3:59 remaining, Mundord tallied his third goal of the game with an unassisted marker past goalkeeper Jordan Burke to give Denver a 9-8 advantage. But, the Cannons scored twice in the final two minutes to take a 10-9 lead they did not relinquish. With 1:54 left, attackman Max Quinzani evened the score at 9-9 by scoring off a Poskay assist. Just 48 seconds later, Buchanan gave the Cannons a one-point advantage when he scored off an assist from Heim for his 13th goal of the season. Buchanan was named as the Bud Light Player of the Game after leading the Cannons to their second win over the Outlaws this season. Meanwhile, Poskay scored two goals with an assist while Heim contributed a goal with two assists. Burke, who entered the game as the MLL leader in save percentage, made 17 saves, including eight saves in the fourth quarter. Mundorf and Westervelt each scored three goals to lead the Outlaws in a losing effort while rookie attackman Billy Bitter and attackman Terry Kimener each added a goal with an assist. Goalkeeper Jesse Schwartzman, who entered the game as the MLL leader in goals against average, made 17 saves while allowing nine goals. The Outlaws outshot Boston by a 50-43 margin and had a slim 23-22 advantage in ground balls. Major League Lacrosse: Boston Cannons 10, Denver Outlaws 9 Boston (7-3) 1-1-4-4 / 10 Denver (5-5) 1-2-4-2 / 9 One-Point Goals: BOS - Matt Poskay 2, Paul Rabil 2, Pat Heim 1, Kevin Buchanan 1, Max Quinzani 1; DEN - Brendan Mundorf 3, Drew Westervelt 3, Billy Bitter 1, Terry Kimener 1, Peet Poillon 1.

Common results questions :
What is the difference between the 'Chip Time' and the 'Gun Time' ? The 'Chip Time' is the time it took you to run the actual race distance, from the moment you crossed the start line, to the moment you crossed the finish line. Some runners think of this as their personal 'Running Time', and this is the result most people quote when asked for personal best times etc With the 'Gun Time' on the other hand the clock starts to tick the moment the starter's horn is sounded. Because UK Athletics road races are competitive races – rather than time trials – competition results, prizes and course records are awarded according to the 'Gun Time'. Many runners refer to this as their 'Gantry Time' Chip times will always be quicker than gun times, and at larger races, such as the Bath Half, it can take 15-20 minutes for all the runners to clear the timing mats on the start line According to my GPS the Bath Half course was shorter/longer than a half marathon (13.01 miles, 21.10km) At UK Athletics licenced road races you can be assured that the course route has been measured and certified for accuracy by the Association of UK Course Measurers. The Bath Half course has been unchanged since it was measured by Hugh Jones (one of the most experienced course measurers in the world – plus former London Marathon winner) in 2006. The accuracy of GPS measurements has been discussed for many years now, and following research AUKCM have established that 'GPS units are NOT accurate and consistent enough to measure a course for certification'.

Rachel Cox // Plastic Romance
Plastic Romance
The nuances surrounding objects as vehicles for desire, and emblems of success, are developed in my current project Plastic Romance. Focusing on hot tubs, these concepts are manifested through the mere existence of these cultural oddities. The hot tub instructs us where and how to sit. Its fabrication is seductive and highly aestheticized. The interiors host a myriad of chromed gizmos, acrylic striations, and jet formations. This decadence is only seen when attempting to attract a potential buyer, for the tub is then filled with water and the interior décor becomes obsolete. What do these empty vessels project onto a user? How does this object+experience foster a type of intimacy?
Dave Hickey wrote that " human beings lack the most basic prerequisites for relating to each other, we instead choose to define our commonality with an ever changing panoply of external objects and occasions" . My interest in photographing these objects stems directly from the intriguining ways we handle social inadequacies, and moreover, how we are dependent on such objects as a means of projected our innermost pleasures and desires.

I bought a small hyacinth plant a few weeks ago. At the time it was a mere four inches high. I had no idea how big it would grow or what colour the flower it would produce would be. I had great hopes for it, though and watered it diligently every day. While I was determined to do my part, the rest would have to be up to this little plant.
A few days later I was delighted to see that my little potted plant had grown a few more inches. Over the next few days one, and then three buds appeared. Each had a hint of the blue that it seems will be the colour of its flower. Any day now I know I will enjoy admiring the blue flowers from my plant. The fact that my plant is growing is a sign that it is alive and well.
If you run your own business, is it growing? Or perhaps you don't own a business but are an employee. Are your skills and expertise growing? If the answer is no, then something is wrong and you need to face up to that fact. The truth is that there is no such thing as staying static. Sooner or later, whatever is not growing begins to die. Slowly but surely, until one day you wake up and that thing is gone.
Growth does not just have to be in numerical terms. As a business your growth can be an increase in the clients you serve, but it could also be growth in terms of an increase in the number or scope of the services you provide. Improvement in your customer service or billing system, or employee benefits can also be seen as growth
As a business owner or team leader you can grow in your leadership or management ability. The degree to which you grow is the degree to which your team or business will grow. I am always amazed at people who are content to remain the same as they were the year before in terms of skills, expertise or persona development. If you have not completed a personal development activity like read a book, listen to a podcast, watch a video or take a course that develops you in some way in the last month, then you are doing yourself a great disservice
A good habit to ask yourself often is this: 'how can I make this aspect of my work more effective?' You don't have to wait until something breaks down before you fix it. Fine tuning aspects of your work or business means that you are constantly looking at ways of improving things rather than waiting until you are forced to take action. Proactivity rather than reactivity is more effective and causes less stress.
One of the reasons my plant is doing so well is because I am making sure it has the right ingredients for growth – water, food and sunlight. The same goes for your business or career. If you do nothing, that's exactly what you will get. Nothing. Growth requires that you work hard, doing the right things at the right time, for the right length of time. If you do your part, although success is not guaranteed, you are more likely to succeed than if you did nothing.
Here are a few tips for ensuring growth:
- Surround yourself with people who are inspiring and optimistic. Their attitude will rub off.
- Allow enough time for growth to occur. Be patient.
- Be prepared to stretch yourself beyond your comfort zone
- Be open to new ways of doing things, especially if old ways have not worked.
- Deal with challenges one at a time.
- Ask for help. It is not a sign of weakness to admit that you can't do it alone.
- Finally, fix your eyes on the finish line, not on the track beneath you.

Sevilla are in advanced talks with Manchester City over the signing of winger Nolito, with the Blues set to take a major hit on the £13.8million they paid Celta Vigo for the 30-year-old last year.
Spanish newspaper Marca reports that negotiations between the two clubs are now in the 'final stretch' after contacts were resumed a few days ago.
The transfer will be done in one of two ways: a loan with an obligation to buy Nolito in 2018 or an instant permanent deal. Either way, Nolito is close to a move to Nervión that will cost the Spanish club €9million (£7.9million) this summer or next.
Radio Marca Sevilla states that the deal could be done by Sunday.
Estadio Deportivo reports a slightly higher fee than Marca of €10million (£8.8million) and adds that documents are being exchanged between the two clubs to finalise the transfer.
Life started so well for Spain international winger Nolito after his move to Manchester City a year ago, with six goals and two assists in his first ten games, including a brace against Stoke City on the road.
The 30-year-old seemed to adjust easily to English football, but as 2017 arrived he mysteriously began to vanish from Pep Guardiola's side, barely featuring in the second half of the season.
His future is now almost certain to continue back home in Spain, with a deal that will see him join Sevilla expected to be concluded soon.

I can't help noting the coincidence of Bernanke's nomination as both "Man of the Year" and "The Definition of Moral Hazard" in the same week as the release of Avatar… And while Ben has probably settled on which "body" he belongs to, representatives of the voting public have yet to make up their mind.
The recent Senate Banking Committee hearing on his reappointment is evidence of Congress' dilemma: While his re-election as Fed Chairman is coming closer to materializing in recognition of his multibillion dollar rescue(/bailout) of the entire economy, Congress has doubts about the Fed's future role as financial regulator and supervisor.
In fact, under the current draft financial regulatory reform bill, financial supervision and regulation responsibilities (including those of the Fed) would be consolidated under a single federal bank regulator (other than the Fed).
Given the obvious turf issues, Ben is already fighting back, using every occasion to make the case for maintaining and indeed enhancing the Fed's supervisory authority. But turf matters aside, the proposed reform may be actually doing the Fed a favor.
The starting point here is that international experience does not offer paradigms of an "optimal" institutional structure for financial supervision and regulation. For example, countries with very different institutional frameworks (e.g. the UK, the eurozone or Japan) have all experienced a major financial crisis recently or in the past.
Then, the case for assigning the roles of both monetary policy and financial supervision/regulation to one and the same institution (the central bank) has to be made at a conceptual level, based on arguments of efficiency and effectiveness:
1) Does the Fed have a comparative advantage in supervising financial institutions? 2) Does the Fed's role as banking supervisor help inform monetary policy and make the latter more effective? 3) Is the mandate of banking supervision critical for the Fed's effective execution of its non-monetary policy roles, notably its role as a lender of last resort (LoLR)?
So let's take these one by one. The weakest argument in support of the Fed as banking supervisor is, in my view, that the Fed has a comparative advantage in fulfilling that role. At the Senate Banking Committee hearing, Bernanke argued that Fed staff have "unparalleled expertise", being trained economists with a deep grasp of monetary issues. In his view, these skills would become even more valuable as banking supervision expands to include a macro-prudential/systemic perspective.
Sorry Ben, but we don't buy that. To start with, the Fed staff's "unparalleled expertise" failed abysmally to grasp the scale of banks' problems at both the micro and macro level, not just before but also well into the crisis. Aside from that, the "right expertise" can always be hired by the institution that needs it. It's no sexier for a bank supervision expert, or a macroeconomist for that matter, to work for the Fed than for another institution, if the latter is the one with the lead authority in his/her area of expertise.
A stronger argument is that the Fed's role as banking supervisor can help inform its monetary policy decisions and make the latter more effective. Existing academic literature is inconclusive on this topic, though I personally think that current research efforts (exploring the links between monetary policy and the behavior of financial institutions) will provide more solid support. Nonetheless, the argument is made controversial by the Fed's own practice and by Bernanke's view that the best tool to address "excessive" risk taking in the financial sector is not monetary policy.
Re. the former, Ben admitted at the hearing that "in normal times", FOMC meetings (on monetary policy) spend very little time, if any, on the state of the financial sector. Of course we all know now (with the benefit of hindsight) that what the FOMC viewed as "normal times" were not normal at all.
Aside from that, this de facto separation of monetary policy decisions from financial stability issues is revealing of the Chairman's intellectual belief (which he has stated time and again) that financial sector "excesses" should be addressed by appropriate regulation instead of interest rate policy. If Ben insists on that view, the case for uniting the authority for monetary policy and banking supervision/regulation under the Fed is pretty tenuous, at least on the grounds of making monetary policy more effective.
Bernanke's strongest case in support of the Fed's role as supervisor is based on the critical role it can play (not in preventing but) in managing financial crises—i.e. once they happen! The argument has a number of dimensions including, inter alia:
First, when a financial institution is under distress, the Fed can benefit immensely by its own in-house supervisors, who can assess the state of the institution, evaluate its collateral against which it might lend to it (under its LoLR function) and, thus, protect the taxpayer.
Second, the Fed's role as banking supervisor, in conjunction with its mandate as overseer of the payments system, is critical for allowing it to understand the systemic implications of the distress in an individual institution, and therefore assess the tradeoffs between providing support to a failing institution or letting it fail.
These arguments have merit but do not necessarily make the Fed's supervisory role absolutely essential. For example, provided that there are officially-established communication links between the Fed and the supervisory agency, the Fed would have access to all the information it needs to assess the situation. Indeed, the distressed institution itself would cooperate in the provision of information, as it happened when Bear Stearns went under.
But what is more important here is to weigh the benefits of the Fed having its own people managing the nitty-gritty details of a bailout with the political costs (to the Fed) associated with that role. The backlash from (what was inevitably seen as) the Fed's gross failure to protect the taxpayer in the AIG bailout (legal excuses notwithstanding) highlights the political risks of too direct an involvement by the Fed with decisions that ultimately belong to the fiscal authority.
In my view, this political risk is a cost sufficiently large to tilt the balance against granting the Fed the lead role as financial supervisor, notwithstanding the benefits mentioned above. Mistakes, or actions perceived as inequitable and unfair, will always be made, especially in a crisis situation, so an arm's length involvement by the Fed can actually help safeguard its monetary policy independence—an independence that should remain sacrosanct.
As a result of the bailout mess, the Fed has now found itself engaged in a PR exercise to defend not only the details of its bailout actions but also the rationale and soundness of its monetary policy decisions. It's still unclear whether it's winning. But, maybe a cleaner way to go is to avoid altogether the public's confusion between "Ben: Man of the year" and his "Moral Hazard" avatar.

History of Thanksgiving. This is a brief history of Thanksgiving type of celebrations around the world. It also covers the roles of two American Presidents (Lincoln and FDR) in establishing the holiday in the United States of America.
From the site:
Since the autumn harvest usually occurred sometime between late September and the middle of October, the colonists' harvest festival wasn't celebrated in November, like it is today. For hundreds of years, people simply celebrated the harvest whenever nature was ready. In 1863, President Lincoln declared the last Thursday in November as Thanksgiving Day. However, since he did not establish it as a national holiday each state had the right to decide when it would celebrate Thanksgiving. It wasn't until 1941 that Thanksgiving was declared a national holiday, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Hmmm, that's not how I understand the part Lincoln played. I am pretty sure that in 1863 he made it a national holiday with that set date and includined an appeal to the Confederate states to join in.

Interior Department HQ will bear Udall name
The building that houses the main Department of Interior offices in Washington, D.C., will likely be renamed in honor of Stewart Udall, the preservationist icon and former Interior Secretary, who died in March.
A bill introduced today by Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-New Mexico) would rechristen the department's main offices near the White House the Stewart Lee Udall Department of Interior Building. It includes the famously cavernous office of the current Interior Secretary, Colorado's own Ken Salazar.
Udall is the uncle of U.S. Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colorado) and the father of U.S. Sen. Tom Udall (D-New Mexico). He served three terms in the House of Representatives but is best known as Interior Secretary under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, a legendary figure who helped secure landmark legislation protecting public lands and water quality.
Udall died at the age of 90 in Santa Fe.
The Bingaman bill has bipartisan support and is expected to be quickly approved, said Jude McCartin, Bingaman's spokeswoman.

I am slowly getting through my pile of WIPs.
I am stitched the binding on my 40th birthday quilt (I will soon turn 42). It has sat for months with just the binding to attach (why do we leave this step for so long) but now it is done and hanging over the back of the lounge in the lounge room.
This quilt has sat half pieced for about two years. I have used a Me and My Sister pattern called Cake Walk and a Crazy Eight Jelly Roll and Layer Cake. It took me forever to cut it all out but once I started piecing it came together really quickly. I am super pleased with how it looks and am hoping to have it completely finished by xmas.
More blocks done for my Friends in Stitching BOM.

3 Skills From Steel Barons And Entrepreneurs That Will Boost Your Business Instincts
Looking at the likes of Steve Jobs, Andrew Carnegie and J.P.Morgan etc. ingenious titans of industry in the 19th/20th/21st century with huge successes in business you see three ways of operating that underline their achievements. looking at opportunities, resourcefulness and Creativity, today we will address how it can affect our own, modern, digital businesses as it did theirs and how we can focus these attributes to improve our own trade and businesses.
Spotting opportunity.
It is often only after something happened that we look back and think 'I wish I'd done this or that and taken advantage of such an opportunity'. In reality spotting opportunities isn't a conscious act, it comes from practice and only with experience do we even realise these opportunities were staring us right in the face. By immersing yourself in projects and practicing the art of spotting potential solutions to problems do we acquire the ability to do this subconsciously. A way to practice this is to go to forums and find someone with an issue, try and work out how to fix that issue and you will find a solution. Listening out for problems to solve is what its all about and providing a solution is the key to opportunity. By servicing the solution just as it is needed do we take advantage of opportunity, an example of this is Richard Branson's first business: When his girlfriend was pregnant he realised there wasn't enough support, so he set up a centre to help pregnant women and a business was born.
Another example of finding opportunity, although seeming much more intellectual is how Elon Musk drew up his vision of humanity and its problems in hundreds of years, while still in college. He simply then ticked off boxes as if he had come back in time from the future. (Admittedly this is difficult) but lets say you were to go back in time to 1960, imagine what you could invent or build! Microwaves, The internet etc. Now asking yourself what will be invented in ten years, basically doing it in reverse as Musk did, and you start designing the future! Even if you start small and plan your own life over the next two years you'll start creating your own opportunities.
Being resourceful is as much about being realistic. You must look realistically at what your skillset is, your skill set is a resource. Now this may sound obvious but has tripped me up a couple of times. If you read a lot of self help stuff online its easy to start thinking you alone can conquer the universe and so, you inflate your abilities to compensate for a lack of success. Eventually you'll get what you were looking for (because your feeling awesome) and find your out of your depth without the correct resources. To solve this you must figure out what you can do and what you can't. Their is no shame in being hopeless at a lot of things as with correct resourcefulness you can either: take a course and pick up a skill e.g. webdesigning, or find someone to do it for you. Finding people who can do things for you is the bedrock of team building.
Another aspect of being resourceful is efficiency. the more efficient you are the more resources you have available at your disposal – see accounting. Accountancy is making your money more resourceful.
Creativity is about coming up with a unique spin that gives your product something nobody else has. Its a USP (unique selling point) but no idea is ever completely original. If you want to come up with a new idea then you must look at the technology available and improve it or apply it differently. Steve jobs didn't invent the computer but he altered it so it was easier for normal people to use. Andrew Carnegie didn't invent steel, but he applied it to the new railroads crossing America. Henry Ford didn't invent the motorcar but made building it more efficient through the production line (a system the royal navy had been using to create pulley's since the 18th century).
This brings us to cross contamination. A way to improve on a technology which many geniuses us is through 'cross contamination'. This is when you look at one industry and see how it's doing things and then apply it to another. An example (and as a motorsport nerd) is Colin Chapman who founded the Lotus car company. He looked at how aerospace used wings to push planes up or down and applied it to his formula 1 cars to keep them on the ground. A ingenious move that brought aerodynamics, and in particularly down-force to top flight motorsport rendering him a massive success. During the renaissance the likes of Michelangelo and Da Vinci prospered from cross contamination as discussed here where we look at how many different types of creative people working on different things cross contaminated to the betterment of business, science and humanities.
You can apply this by looking around at different industries too, for example: Look at how furniture companies design their webpages and see if anything can be applied to your SEO blog next time you're searching for a chair, see how burger king putting there burgers together can improve the efficiency of your team etc. You get the idea. Soon enough you'll be doing this instinctively and with the resourcefulness and opportunities practiced above you too could improve the way you operate as Branson, Musk, Carnegie, or anyone in the top flight do.
