I recently read somewhere that if the capacity to grow and distribute food defined the agrarian economy, and the capacity to manufacture and distribute goods defined the industrial economy, then the capacity to create and apply knowledge defines the post-industrial digital economy.
This struck an instant chord with me with regards to the delivery of higher education. The digital economy represents a mechanism to deliver knowledge to literally anybody with a desire to learn. And not just those we'd traditionally call a 'student' – 18 to 24 year old school leavers - but professionals, those still in school and even those who never thought they'd undertake any formal learning ever again. Amen.
MOOC or a Massive Open Online Course is a phenomenon that encapsulates and demonstrates this point in the education space perfectly. There are apparently some 550 universities worldwide that host MOOCs on topics as varied as computer programming and Buddhism. They typically only last 10 weeks, initially cost nothing but increasingly have a nominal charge, and the student gets a certificate at the end of the course to keep in their personal development folder.
But what's so good about them? Why would universities offer their wares for almost nothing? MOOCs are an exceptional form of customer acquisition and retention. For traditional HE institutions – our bricks and mortar universities, it's the bait with which to capture students before, during and after learning. It's a step closer to the holy grail of the 'lifelong learner'.
We only have to look at who is using them. Those students who are still at school undertake MOOCs to test the subjects they may prefer to study at university and use the courses on their application forms, discussing their learning experience in university interviews. It makes them look keen.
For those who may not have been in education for a long time, it's a stepping stone back into the world of studying – a tester to build confidence before making a bigger leap of faith – which they may not have otherwise taken at all. Our digital world, where we access everything on a smartphone or tablet, is opening up new possibilities and actually creating new learners!
For professionals it's a way to brush up on areas of their job roles that they may have previously been taught but forgotten with time - a brush-up and revision session to bring them bang up to date. Or it's an opportunity to learn something different – a new string to their professional bow to move themselves up the corporate ladder. And of course, it goes without saying that MOOCs are attractive to employers.
But for the university, it's a new lead - a new potential student, or a way to keep existing students happy with vocational courses that supplement or complement their degrees. It's a crucial step to enhancing the education of students past, present and future.

Marketing vs. Sales/
Guest post by Anna Lieber
"You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do." – Henry Ford.
Business owners often confuse marketing and sales. But the distinction is really simple. Marketing is communicating what you do to generate prospects and increase visibility. Sales is converting prospects into clients. You need both. Here's why.
First, we all know commitment takes time. Before you marry, you date to get to know one another. Doing business is similar. It's what we call the "know, like and trust" factor.
Second, marketing is an ice breaker that warms up your leads. Prospects can be confused because they don't understand how to judge your expertise. Sometimes they don't even understand what you are talking about. Your knowledge base is simple to you but it's a foreign language to them.
Marketing educates prospects and helps take the fear and uncertainty out of a buying decision. It moves them from a flying leap to a more comfortable leap of faith. It's that trust factor. The discount clothier Syms says "an educated customer is our best customer". And we'll add an educated customer guarantees a better experience for all.
Third, marketing attracts new prospects. A company which markets all the time, via traditional, viral or guerrilla techniques, in good economies and bad, slow times and busy times, has the edge. Marketing generates brand awareness leading to a larger pool of warm leads and greater success.
Strategic marketing provides a select audience – you attract interested prospects instead of needing to track them down. Attracting rather than chasing – what could be better? A known brand is the comfortable choice. It makes decision making intuitive and creates raving fans.
Sales or converting prospects to clients is the next part of the process. There are various sales methodologies but most use a variation of these steps: qualifying leads, approaching them, presenting or demonstrating, probing for needs, answering objections and closing the sale.
Sales skill is essential in moving prospects from stage to stage but marketing ensures prospects feel good about the decision. Expert selling is consultative and meant to create lasting relationships. And marketing continually communicates your expertise.
The bottom line: Sales success is facilitated by good marketing. Marketing plus sales is the winning equation.

After Chow Tai Fook emerged in 1929, the world of jewellery in China exploded with sophisticated designs and high-quality jewellery. In 2010, a new generation of diamond was brought on board after the bid for a 507 Cullinan Diamond for $35.3m dollars.
Since then Chow Tai Fook's diamond service has gone from strength to strength, with a new collaboration with Alrosa of Russia put in place in 2012 to continue the steady flow of flawless diamonds.
However, the collections of gold and gilded ornaments are seemingly endless and sate the appetite of an ever-increasing high-net-worth individual market. Watch the above video in full for more information on the world of Chow Tai Fook.

A very enjoyable day at the Charlbury tournament today for Bardwell Bullets.
The boys were challenged at the start to maintain possession of the ball as much as possible, and they responded by playing some lovely football that included some very well taken goals.
As a result, we finished with 4 wins and a draw from our 5 games, 10 goals scored and only 2 conceded (including 4 clean sheets).
Goalscorers today were Cassius Pearce Bates 3, Leo Barker 2, Zac Boczkariw 2, Leo Ash, George Leach and Solomon Thorner.
Player of the Week was awarded to George Leach for a top performance that included creating a number of chances for his teammates.

Tsavo East, Tsavo West, and the Kasigau Wildlife Corridor which connects them form the largest natural reserve in Kenya. Elephants, lions, giraffe, and many other species roam the area freely. It's a lust for the eye. A treasure to cherish!
A real threat to this paradise is poaching. Not only to the animals, but also to the (unarmed) rangers that protect them. Two years ago two of them were shot by poachers. One ranger was killed. The other survived, but has a prosthetic shoulder since. This hero is still a ranger.
To help the rangers to stop poaching, SensingClues joined Tech-For-Tusks, a project in which Wildlife Works, ShadowView, ProTrek, Microflown, NCSR, and SensingClues collaborate to protect elephants. After months of hard work, this was a very exciting opportunity to test our newly developed early warning system.
With baboons looking over our shoulders, long days and nights were spend to test, improve, and re-test our sensors. Until we were satisfied. Since this weekend our camouflaged sensors are on the alert for poaching activities. Tireless. Relentless. Once a poacher is detected, an alert is send to the patrolling rangers, directing them straight away to the actual threat.
Last Wednesday, only days after the sensors had been placed, the first alert came through. Human behaviour had been detected near a pond which elephants regularly visit. Being a restricted area, no people are allowed there. Verification learned that it was not a ranger. Hence, this was an all hands on deck situation!
A short while later we learned our poacher was actually a lost soul, taking her father on a safari. Although we were a bit disappointed with this outcome, the system had proven its strength. We've been able to detect human activity and alert the rangers in real-time!
It's a really nice feeling to put the rangers on the right track. It's good to know they are on the alert and ready to respond..

Double AFFAIR That Rocked My Marriage/
"Answer me. Do you still love me?" I could sense the anguish and frustration in my husband's trembling voice as he began to yell out and weep uncontrollably. I had not seen that look of distraught on his face since the day he had stood beside the grave site of his brother who had been unexpectedly taken away at such a young age. I glanced his way and proceeded to vacuum the floor, all the while ignoring my husband's question. Each time my sinful, self-seeking, desires had drawn my thoughts away from my commitment to my spouse and had left me blind-sided to the false hopes of finding affirmation and happiness from another man.
The Adulterous Heart
My cheating on my spouse never involved sex, touching, or even the slightest kiss. It didn't have to. I had already committed adultery in my heart. It began with innocent text, emails, phone contact, running into each other at the same restaurant…At first I tried to justify the relationship by saying that "he was just a friend". He was so easy to talk too, we could openly discuss the frustrations in both of our marriages, he seemed to understand just what I was going through…. The secretive conversations were followed by months of deleted text messages. It soon led to my coveting and desiring " the greener grass" that other married couples had. My ungodly fantasies led me to seeking a way out from my marriage.
We Prepared For This, and This, But Not THAT
Didn't I deserve to be happy? I mean isn't that what marriage is all about, my happiness? For years, my husband and I had been caught up in the affair of "things." We had gotten our priorities so out of line. We had anxiously prepared for kids, college, retirement, living debt free, we devoted all of our time to careers, PTA, civic groups, kids activities, church "stuff" that we had no energy left to invest in our marriage. If this makes any sense, we had gotten to the place where we were merely living together as roommates. We had prepared for this, this, and this and not "THAT!" I am reminded of the story of a spiritual attack on Job in the Bible. In Job 3:25, Job said, "That which I feared has come upon me." You see Job had prepared for everything, he was wealthy, influential, had great things, a large family, but he had not anticipated the "that" to attack his family.
S.O.S. Tips for Moving Forward After An Affair
When there is admission or discovery of an affair everything begins to spin out of control. At times your world will seem like it is falling apart and crashing down around you. You can move forward and begin to make God honoring decisions that are in the best interest of you, your spouse, your marriage and your family.
For nothing is impossible with God. ~Luke 1:37
The word nothing in this scripture means even your broken marriage can be completely restored. We serve a powerful God!
Stop & Take Control of Your Thoughts - The enemy will jolt and attack your mind with the what ifs, why's, the how could you, the blaming, the doubting, bitterness, anger, hurt… You will have to take control of your thoughts. Infidelity is a very difficult and painful situation. Can I just get real with you? For us, as a couple it involved all kinds of emotions. In all honesty, even for the Christian you might even find it can stretch your faith almost to the breaking point. The best thing to do is to "Turn all your worries over to Him. He cares about you" (1 Peter 5:7). Determine to let God be your comforter and allow Him to provide you with wisdom and direction on a daily basis.
Obedience to God – For the healing to take place my husband and I had to be willing to pray together, to hear one another's hearts, and to offer forgiveness to one another. We cried, we read lots of godly resources, we cried even more and for the first time we realized that for the change to come to our marriage, it had to begin within our own hearts. Even though it was painful, I had to accept the responsibility for my actions and the gravity of what I had done to my family. My first step to reconciliation was to fall on my knees and repent to my God and then to seek forgiveness from my husband.
Surround Yourself With Godly Counsel – Is the advice being whispered in your ear, godly Biblical advice? If not, you need to RUN from it as fast as you can. When we hit this crisis in our marriage, there were all kinds of people wanting to offer advice. People who hardly even knew us...people who had been unsuccessful at honoring their own marriage covenants. Ask yourself, "Does this advice fit the character and nature of God as portrayed in the Bible?" In every area of our lives,we should always test to see whether the counsel we receive is true and honest, just, pure, loving, of good report and would glorify God.
It's Okay To Reach Out For Help
I'm not going to sugar coat this for you. There were hurt feelings and some pride issues that we had to lie down. My husband and I realized that it was o.k. to reach out for help and we recognized that in order for healing and restoration to continue we needed sound, Biblical, Christian Marriage counseling.
Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counselors there is safety. ~Proverbs 11:14
I am amazed at how GOD has completely redeemed our marriage. Years later, I can say our marriage is better than it has ever been. We have an emotional intimacy like never before. I love him more today than I did the day the we were married. Are you finding yourself in the fight of your life, struggling just to keep your marriage together? Whatever you may be facing, turn to Him as you face it because nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is impossible with God!

How to start dating a girl
We are surrounded by online dating sites and weird but highly effective dating apps.
A couple of years ago you were frowned at when you said that you met your girlfriend on an online dating site. Today people are rather shocked when you tell them that you met your girlfriend without the help of modern technology.
The show has reached a level of quality I never though it would and now I'm happy that it has as the show works so well for it's writing and ensemble with this being one of the best episodes the show has ever done.
In today's day and age I can totally understand if you want to know how to start a conversation online.
There are millions of attractive single women who hope to find their knight in shining armor on one of many online dating websites.
The only problem is that the high number of women who are looking for the right partner attracts an even higher number of men who dream about being that perfect partner.
If you want that she replies it is time for something new.
Look at her profile picture and give her a compliment that you can only give her and not to any other girl.
Tell her exactly why you love this fact about her and share your own interests and experiences with her.
Saying the right things to her is important but there is one thing that she will see even before she reads your message.
The first thing a woman sees when you send her a message on an online dating site is the subject line. Come on, you can be more creative than all the other guys who write a boring "hey", "how are you" or "hello beautiful" in the subject line.
The message they tend to use looks like this: Opening a word document, writing down a line that she has already heard a million times before and hoping that you are one of the twenty guys who wrote the same crap who she will actually reply to is not the best way to start a conversation online.
Do yourself a favor and forget about the standard message.

He had joined the team on trial back in February right before the trip to La Manga, Spain. Seattle general manager Adrian Hanauer said after practice that the two sides (team and Parke) have agreed to part ways for now. Parke, who still has a contract offer from the club, will likely explore his options elsewhere. Hanauer said the team still would like Parke to join the team, but the two sides of the contract negotiations appear to be at an impasse. (Where's federal mediator George H. Cohen when you need him, right?) With a full roster in place and another incoming player in the summer, I don't think the prospects look too good for Parke joining the team. He apparently isn't pleased with the standing offer. But we'll see what happens. Comments

The Girl With the Haunting Green Eyes
Her name is Sharbat Gula.
In her native Pashtu tongue, the name means sweetwater flower girl.
Since her lovely yet apprehensive face graced the cover of National Geographic twenty-seven years ago, she has been more familiarly known as the Afghan girl with the haunting green eyes.
How did this iconic image of global renown ever come about?
In 1984,National Geographic photographer, Steve McCurry, was a member of a team of journalists covering the war between the Soviet Union--who sought to maintain Marxist rule in Afghanistan--and local Islamic guerrilla warriors known as mujahideen.
To escape the fighting, hordes of refugees were attempting to make their way over the border into Pakistan.
McCurry came upon a large tent in the refugee camp that served as a girls' school. As fate would have it, he encountered the pretty young girl with the charismatic yet anxiety-ridden look and asked if she would let him take her picture. She agreed, and the rest is history.
Naturally, McCurry had no idea at the time that the photo would create such a maelstrom of public interest and curiosity.
Back home, the editorial team chose to feature a close-up of the young girl on the cover magazine. Her sea-green eyes, accentuated with streaks of blue and maize, and her beautiful face, framed by a tattered burgundy shawl, symbolized the universal dichotomy of strength and terror in the midst of international conflict.
No one except those closest to her knew anything about Sharbut Gula.
But millions all over the world soon come to know her as the girl with the haunting green eyes...
Prior to reading this article, had you ever heard of the Afghan Girl?
In my occupation as an eBay seller of vintage ephemera, postcards, magazines, prints, articles, and ads, I have literally pored over thousands of written materials and images.
I can honestly say that I have never had the sensation of being that proverbial deer caught in the headlights until I came across this moving periodical cover not just once, but twice, in the last four months.
Both events happened to be estate sales where I came upon a plethora of vintage magazines just begging--like cute, lonesome puppies at the humane society--for someone to rescue them.
I've recently become a sucker for older magazines, especially when I'm able to negotiate bargain lot prices that are easy on my billfold.
At the first estate sale, I was offered my pick of any National Geographic , post-1960, for 10 cents an issue. While the offer was most generous, I wasn't too keen about hauling away the thousands of magazines the woman desperately sought to eradicate from her brother's home.
But that all changed when I came upon the literary diamond in the rough . Hardly able to contain myself, I beckoned my wife to come over. In a barely audible whisper, mostly because I was choking in my excitement, I pointed at the cover.
"It's her! It's that Afghan girl!"
My wife had no clue...
Fast-forward four and a half months later...this morning...I woke her up and told her that the magazine I'd bought for a dime sold to a man in Australia for $24.75. Even after the eBay, PayPal, and shipping fees, I made over twenty dollars in profit.
Last weekend, I went to another estate sale in Waitsburg, a small country town in southeastern Washington state. I bought about two hundred magazines for twenty dollars, many of which were National Geographics .
I didn't find out until the next day, while sorting the magazines, that a NEAR MINT copy of the Afghan girl issue was in the bunch.
As a result of doing research about online selling strategies on YouTube, I decided to list my item on Amazon. Lo and behold! While the majority of the issues were being sold for anywhere between $2 and $9.99, one person was selling his Very Good copy for a little over sixty dollars. In yet another listing, an enterprising book dealer was actually selling his Like New copy for $150!
So, naturally, I manned up and listed my Near Mint issue for $75.
Sometimes, I truly don't know what I'm doing. Sometimes, I even play the fool.
One thing's for sure...I'm not in kindergarten anymore, and I refuse to play in the sandbox.
These days, I'm inclined to think--and act --outside the box.
That's what Steve McCurry did when he risked venturing into the large tent of the Islamic girls' school on that fateful day in 1984.
That's what Sharbat Gula did when she boldly stepped away from Muslim tradition and let her facial veil drop.
And we as a global village, blessed beneficiaries of those haunting green eyes, can certainly pause to reflect on the insanity of war.
You're welcome - and thank you too, for being such a great hubber! On that site for the images, I think you may like to do a search on it for "advert" - no "s" as in adverts, just "advert." :)
Such a moving hub ~ thank you
This was a very interesting hub indeed! (voted up, interesting and shared with my HubPages followers) - not just because this is probably my second or third favorite image (the Afghan girl with the haunting green eyes - isn't she just stunning?) but because my brother (onlder than myself by 11 years) was interested in the National Geographic magazine for many years (and not too long ago, perhaps about 7 or 8 years ago) I remember our family having quite a few National Geographic magazines - perhaps my brother still has a few, I must ask him) - and I'm sure we had this one (in great condition) with the Afghan girl on the front cover. Had no idea there was money in having these old National Geographic magazines - well this particular one, anyway.
For interests' sake, my favorite image is of the starving child and vulture, taken by South African photojournalist Kevin Carter. Although not all about that photo, if you haven't yet seen the movie The Bang Bang Club, it's a must see!
Also for your interest, you may be interested in having a look at the site totallyfreeimages (dot com) - take note of the line of wording just beneath the title if you visit the site.
I was four and a half when that m particular month was published, and we had just come back from being overseas (my father was an officer in the USMC). I remember seeing that magazine in someone's hands on the flight back to the States and the girl haunted me then.
Very nice article!
When they did the follow up of her, she had definitely aged and still had haunting green eyes, but after 20+ years of worldwide fame- she had no idea she was famous and still living in poverty! It's amazing how the world works sometimes
I enjoyed reading this and will share. The girl is beautiful and somehow we can all commiserate with the feeling she had.
I remember this issue of NG well. It is an amazing story. I don't think I'll ever forget those green eyes. Thanks for sharing. Voting up and Sharing.
Hi hawaiianodysseus,yes i do remember that cover and girl,enjoyed your well written hub. It is always nice when you find that gem among trash,well done !
Vote up and more !!!
These eyes are truly haunting! But, yet she looks so innocent and frightened, and she is simply beautiful. A very puzzling picture.
This article has been shared on Stumble, Twitter, Google+, Facebook, Reddit and my hub following.

If you can share mine: Margarita pedicure and Corn hole, It would be appreciated. And feel free to contact the others and the list to share article sharing!
I love your writing! I'm new to Hubbing & was poking around and found you! I will be following you (not stalking, just following). I do remember this Afghan girl National Geographic, and I did see the documentary on TV about the followup to find her. Yes, the insanity of war. Aloha!

Cluster Analysis of the Kenyan Economy
The National Economic and Social Council (NESC) during its 17th Council meeting held on May 29-30th 2009, recommended the adoption of a cluster development strategy as part of regional and national competitiveness strategies. Accordingly, priority sectors were identified for the initial implementation of the cluster strategy. These are: transport and logistics at the Port of Mombasa, horticulture, sugar, tea, tourism, marine and inland fisheries, livestock, energy, ICT, maize, cotton and dairy. The Vision 2030 advocates for regional manufacturing and industrial clusters as engines for realizing industrialization. The fourth component of Kenya Private Sector Development Strategy (PSDS) also aims at improving the productivity and competitiveness of enterprises.
Definitions as to what exactly constitutes a cluster vary. However, the concept of 'cluster' generally refers to a geographical concentration of vertical or horizontally linked firms engaged in related lines of business together with supporting organizations. The cluster framework offers firms the opportunity to access knowledge, reduce research and development costs, achieve economies of scale, cluster skills and a qualified labour force, solve common problems and reduce costs due to geographical proximity and increased interaction with each other. Cluster policies and initiatives thus continue to proliferate in many countries in Asia, Latin America, Europe and the USA.
KIPPRA was contracted to provide cluster analysis for Kenya, with support from ECORYS Netherlands. ECORYS provided backstopping support through KEPLOTRADE II. The final report has mapped out the priority sectors defined by the NESC into 20 clusters. The focus is on the most important clusters based on performance, spatial concentration of economic activities, network data and parallel government policy. The overall objective of the study is to come up with practical, grass-roots solutions to the challenges Kenya faces with respect to productivity & competitiveness in the mapped clusters and then to draft Participatory Action Plans that provide blueprints for development.
The study utilized the criteria specified in the Terms of Reference and close consultations with Private Sector Development Strategy (PSDS) Goal 4 Steering Committee, NESC Secretariat and Vision 2030 Delivery Secretariat (VDS) to select six clusters for development of participatory action plans. The selected clusters are Transport and Logistics at Port of Mombasa; Coast Beach Tourism; Inland Fisheries in Kisumu; ICT in Nairobi; Beef in Garissa; and Horticulture in Naivasha-Limuru. The participatory action plans identify the specific cluster policy objectives based on field survey, literature and a consultative workshop held for each selected cluster. The required actions have thus been identified, together with key responsibilities and indicators for monitoring performance.

There are few places as magical as New York City during the month of December. The entire city lights up. The snow begins to fall, and everything is cheery and bright. It's something that everyone needs to witness at least once in their life, but it can be a little overwhelming. There are so many things that you might want to see and do.
If you're planning your New York Christmas Trip, here are seven magical sights that you do not want to miss!
1. Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree
The center of Christmas cheer in NYC, the tree at the Rockefeller Center usually weighs between 24,000 and 26,000 pounds. It's been a tradition since 1931, and today, it pulls in over 750,000 visitors each day.
2. 5th Avenue Window Displays
NYC takes window shopping to a whole new level during Christmas. You could spend hours strolling along 5th Avenue, taking in the elegant displays of the season!
3. Iceskating in Central Park
Ice skating has been a popular activity for wintertime park-goers for over a century. The tradition of bundling up and taking to the ice is almost as old as Central Park itself!
4. Holiday Lights Tour
Want a break from walking in the cold? Catch a glimpse of all the lights from the comfort of a warm double-decker bus! It's a great way to get around and to get some nice pictures!
5. The Rockettes' Christmas Spectacular
A ninety-minute show full of Christmas-themed singing and dancing, the Rockettes' Christmas Spectacular has been dazzling audiences since 1933. It's an instant crowd-pleaser that will make for a wonderful evening!
6. Winter Village at Bryant Park
Like Central Park, Bryant Park has iceskating, but it also has a wide array of Christmas vendors and delicious foods to try.
7. Top of the Rock
While this one is definitely the most touristy activity on the list, it's a must. From the top of the Rockefeller Center, there is a great view of the Empire State Building, which is lit up green and red during the month of December.
New York at Christmas is a scene quite unlike any other. The city, while hectic and bustling, seems to simultaneously slow down in awe of the season.
What else do you feel is an essential NYC Christmas activity??

BSH ensures the smooth functioning of our daily lifestyle by providing updated and appealing kitchen appliances.
With an exemplary approach to creating appliances that simplify our everyday lives, Mr. Gunjan Srivastava speaks to The Inside Track about his brand BSH, the products they offer and his vision for the future years to come.
How did BSH start its operations? Tell us a little bit about your company.
BSH Household Appliances stepped into the Indian market in the year 2010 in collaboration with Siemens. Back then, our major focus was on built-in appliances and washing machines. However, after closely studying the Indian market, we launched Bosch appliances across categories and targeted the mass premium market. With Bosch, we entered the Washing machine, Refrigerator and Dishwasher categories as well.
The year 2014 represented our first milestone in India with the launch of a washing machine in the 7kg category. 2018 will be a year full of fervour for BSH as we will continue expanding and launch new products.
What kind of products does BSH offer? What sets it apart from other kitchen products?
We have our presence across categories with Bosch, Siemens and the recently launched Gaggenau brand. Our product offerings span across refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, wine coolers, coffee machines, hobs & hoods, etc. We particularly specialise in the built-in appliances category with Siemens & Gaggenau.
Our 'Voltage Check' feature helps to keep the appliances stabilized in case of voltage fluctuations. Also, with the increasing concerns of global-warming, our products are designed to be energy efficient and water efficient which provides the perfect solution for a modern/smart/sustainable household along with an aesthetic appeal.
What are the latest innovations and/or product range introduced by BSH?
With the recent launch of luxury brand – Gaggenau, BSH brought to India the best in class design and technology. It is an exclusive high-end luxury appliances brand that caters to the likes of culinary experts, top chefs and design enthusiasts. Its legacy of 333 years and as pioneers of several innovations in the kitchen appliances space has garnered them global recognition.
We will also soon introduce Asian top loader washing machines. With approximately 30% of the market chunk, Bosch washing machines are the market leaders in the front loaders category.
How does BSH combine aesthetics with functionality in its products?
BSH offers superior technology with best in class features alongside elite design which sets it apart from the competition in the market. "Consumer centricity" is at the core of the BSH-Strategy – a mindset and guiding principle for BSH. Our products show deep understanding of the customers' pain points and therefore solve complex problems, without compromising on its aesthetic appeal.
To compliment the functionality of the appliances as well as blend with its environment, BSH constantly innovates to design products.
The need to customise the design of each product as per the requirement of the market ensures a perfect blend of functionality and aesthetics.
What is the average Indian customer's mind-set towards your products?
India is changing fast and so are consumer's lifestyles. The discerning individual wants to own a house of his/her own and maintain it for a longer period. The aspiring consumers invest in appliances that are highly durable as well as aesthetically appealing. This change in the mind-set of the socially evolving Indian has caused an uptrend towards premium goods.
Where do you see the brand five years from now?
Even though our goals are aligned to our Vision 2025, in the next five years, we will expand our product portfolios, building efficient customer service and brand building initiatives. By 2020, we aim to increase our retail presence with about 3000 stores (with ATL). Currently, we have 80 stores (Bosch & Siemens) and aim to increase this number to about 150 brand stores.

The best efforts of Twitter have not yet been enough to stop Kendall Jenner. She's weathered several scandals this year, perhaps most notably in a Pepsi commercial she thought would end her career. Kendall has suffered through all the criticism and continued to get work at the latest fashion weeks. Now, Kendall is set to make another move as she follows in her big sister Kim Kardashian-West's footsteps by making an appearance in a Fergie music video.
Fergie teased a clip of Kendall in bed from her up-coming visual album "Double Dutchess." The ambitious project from the Black-Eyed Peas' resident humps-haver debuted in Brooklyn on Tuesday. Kendall hasn't done much in the way of music videos herself, but that didn't stop Fergie from taking a chance on the controversial supermodel.
A critic from W Magazine who attended the premiere wrote Kendall "stars in another video that features her dancing and rapping in a fur coat, and starts and ends with her propped up on a pink bed." It's hard to imagine Kendall rapping without a complete Twitter meltdown, but even lip-syncing along to some Fergie rhymes might be too much for some.
"Double Dutchess" drops on Friday, so the world will get a chance to rip Kendall for whatever she's about to do then.

Family Vacations occasionally really feel like a long forgotten fantasy of the previous. The huge metropolis of Houston, sprawling across the Gulf Coast plain of East Texas from its busy port, is practically twice the size of the whole state of Rhode Island. And of course the Disney vacation to Orlando, Florida can not be matched for a fantastic household friendly vacation. What distinguishes Florida from other tourist spots, as a excellent household tourist location is the fact that it has more than 1000 miles of stunning white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters and numerous theme parks to make your household holiday memorable.
If you want to unplug from it all, check out Bahia Honda State Park in Massive Pine Essential, Florida. Taking trip with the family does not have to trigger a meltdown in the family's budget. Outside the urban enclaves Texas has 23-million acres of woodlands, such as 4 national forests and 125 state parks, from the great pine forests of the south and east to the rugged mountains of the west.
Individuals can see the most if they travel along the east coast by auto however there are other techniques. Most well-known of these events is the annual South by Southwest music festival-conference held every March. Here are some household vacation ideas that can be affordable, relaxing, and refreshing. Program a family trip to Cape Codder Resort and Spa which provides an Indoor Wave Pool, a full service spa and activities for little ones.
Amid tropical hardwoods and winding creeks, with coral clusters off shore, this northernmost of the Florida Keys feels a world away. Take a look at our loved ones packages section for some of the greatest packages hand-picked by our editors. Once you have brief-listed your choices to few of Florida holiday spots, you can ferret out far more particulars about each a single of these destination by requesting a travel guide or visiting the official site for that city.
On the region's sunny east side, discover the inviting Temecula Valley wine area. Our entire family members stayed in a 12 bedroom property a single block form the ocean producing it a wonderful spot to remain. The Welcome to Kidifornia" commercial gives a fast peek at some trip-of-a-lifetime family vacations in the Golden State—filled with beaches, national parks, theme parks, and more.

Have you ever just walked into a shop and stopped in awe because eclectic beauty was dripping from everywhere you looked? That was my reaction walking into the Rubanesque Pop-Up Shop in July in Lacoste. Lacoste, a small artsy village in the Luberon region of Southeastern France, is home to Ruth Ribeaucourt, creative mastermind behind her "artisan antique French silk Jacquard ribbon jewelry." Ruth started making jewelry when she moved to France from Ireland. Her family, the Faure family of St. Etienne, had an acclaimed silk factory, Les Freres Faure (now Julien Faure) in the 1800s and 1900s, which became the inspiration for her jewelry after she got a plethora of 120-year-old (and older!) antique silk ribbons from her husband's family as an engagement gift. Full of antique and vintage motifs, Ruth uses these ornate fabric echantillons, passementerie trims, and ribbons in her jewelry to create one-of-a-kind, glamorous standout pieces. Decorated in rich gold thread and stitching, Swarovski crystals and luxurious vintage and antique beads, her eye-catching jewelry has been featured in Design Sponge, Cosmopolitan, and her silk fabrics and ribbons sought after by Vogue editors and designers.
Ruth welcomed us wholeheartedly into her shop and elaborated on the history behind her miniature masterpieces. Her pop-up shop, while temporary, was an inviting space filled with color, sparkle, beautiful antique photo displays, and her hospitable nature. Please visit her Etsy shop to buy your lovely and unique piece of jewelry or look for her sparkles in Anthropologie later this year! Thank you so much for allowing me to photograph and feature your unbelievable creativity, Ruth! It was truly a pleasure meeting you!

Meet The Maker: Elizabeth Whibley
Elizabeth is a plant hoarder, textile designer and fashion guru. Her work is unique, talented and always full of wonderful quirky colours. I was lucky enough to have an interview with her to see what she has been up to.
Hello Elizabeth! Thank you so much for letting me interview you. How are you?
I'm very well thank you, always am when the sun is shining.
Tell us a little bit about your background.
I have creative parents which has definitely helped me think like a creator. I've grown up in East Farleigh, Kent and am currently in that awkward stage of summer where I am no longer in 'education' so I'm trying to keep myself busy. I've just finished my Foundation in Art and Design: Fashion and Textiles and am so keen to be going back to my university to start a degree in Fashion textiles print!!!
I adore your work. What inspired you to start doing textiles, sewing and design?
Thank you firstly; it's quite hard to answer actually as it just seems like it kind of happened that I'm here doing what I do. I think growing up in a house where I saw my mum sew me things like fancy dress outfits and ballet leotards and toys clothes and fabric animals subconsciously made me like making 'something out of nothing.' Not only is it productive to the mind but also you can have really thoughtful and unique outcomes from that kind of attitude. I've fortunately always been told I was good at art in school so that gave me lots of confidence in this area too. My mum is very knowledgeable in flora and fauna and keeps our garden beautifully so I've always been surrounded by gorgeous specimens of botany.
Have you always been into textiles, sewing and design?
Yes, I can't imagine not being.
How has your creative process changed since the start?
It's hard in school to develop a real style I think early on and I am only really, in the last few years, just fixating mine I believe. I always liked hand sewing which is also a plus when you're young as sewing machines can be quite tricky to use. When I got my own sewing machine though my skills in machine embroidery grew very quickly. I stopped hand embroidering for quite a while after I got it but I am now very much back into the very intensive, time consuming hand embellishment. I've always loved print and exploring different types through sixth form secured my decision to study it as a degree.
What equipment do you use for your work?
Embroidery threads, beads, sequins, trimmings, buttons, vintage fabrics for all my sewingy bits and then mostly lino, rubber cuts or screen-printing and foiling.
What tools or materials could you not live without?
Anything remotely shiny.
Why has social media been an important platform for you to use?
I don't really use any other social media other than Instagram and started it years ago because it was the thing to do and I like the relaxed nature of of where you can follow who you want and who wants to follow you can. So many of the people I follow are fellow artists and designers whether they are famous or just starting out. In the very near future I am planning to open an Etsy shop so I hope social media will help me gain some customers. It's amazing how we can connect with each other over the internet. I'm currently talking to two girls (one is abroad) who has Etsy sites and we are arranging art exchanges, without my Instagram this wouldn't of happened.
Who inspires your work?
I've been a follower of Orla Kiely before she got mega famous so she'll always be a favourite. Love classic William Morris of course, who doesn't? Angie Lewin, Jac Storm, John Dilnot all print artist I love. And I'm inspired by huge companies collections like Valentino, Gucci, etc. I take inspiration from anywhere really.
Do you have any favourite pieces of design work or textiles that you adore at the moment?
I really like House of Holland's stuff right now and a smaller printing company called the printed peanut.
What do we hope to see in this up and coming year for your Instagram and your work?
My etsy shop opening!! Planning to sell hand printed/foiled journals which are hand bound by myself with a little help from my boyfriend who is a bookbinder so that's always handy! Also some embroidered hoops and badges and any other cutsie bits I think of or that I can part with!
And me starting my degree course I suppose I'll post my work from that.
What are your career plans?
Ideally I'd love to be either a freelance textile designer or work with a company. I also have a dream of owning a second hand interior store come cafe.
Do you have any advice for anyone who would like to start designing pattern textiles?
I mean I'm not an expert but be well sourced with inspiration and do whatever feels most you! Getting a design suitable for print won't happen over night so keep working hard on it. I couldn't of worked harder on my final design for my Foundation final collection and that was the best thing I've ever done.
Do you have any advice for designers?
Similar to above but try and think of something that's fresh and exciting but that also reflects you. Our life needs to be stimulating and exciting and rewarding. I think pretty much all paths in the creative industry are those. Do what makes you happy. I design things as if I'm the client which may seem selfish but your whole heart has to be in it or you won't be able to show your drive and love for it.
What's the best piece of creative advice you've ever been given?
My head's reeling to think of all the things teachers or tutors or friends or family have said to me that was helpful. I'd say probably to aim high and believe in your abilities and choices as that's what I was told.
Please make sure to search 'elizabethwhibley' on Instagram for her wonderful fashion and textile designs.

I was 19 and you were 23…babies and yet we thought we knew all about life, as we sat there eating pizza listening to an organ play its classic cartoon music while bubbles danced in the air. Is that restaurant still there? I didn't eat much; I was so enamored by you, the college graduate who wore three piece suits to work. You were a 4.0 tennis player, enjoyed soccer and water skiing, but I could beat you down the ski hill. We went to a movie after dinner, The American Hero starring John Ritter, and we laughed together. Do you remember? You drove me home in your orange sports car gently kissing me goodnight on the front porch. I floated into the house, knowing I would marry you.
Now twenty-eight years later, we are going away for a weekend, our first time away… alone…for three years…three years in crisis mode. With twenty-five years of marriage together, we have walked through many fires: a premature first born, a major job change when you were forty, the demands of five children, and now childhood cancer. We smell of smoke, but we are not burned. We are breathing again. We are healing. We are different people. How could we have known back then the crisis' we'd face? The difficulties and heartaches? Now we know more about life with shared pain and shared joy. We are secure in our commitment to each other. We are secure in our commitment to God…no matter where our journey takes us.
It will be a weekend for us to just BE. A time to be still. A time to focus on our relationship as man and wife, as individuals. A time to search out and understand each other's needs. A time to reflect on the past, while looking towards the future. I am almost giddy with anticipation of our time away, yet nervous. Who are you now? Who am I now? I want to discover you again.
Our first date…

Giving Thanks: A letter on behalf of studentsTuesday, November 4th, 2014
Matthew Jordan, president of the Pharmacy Student Council, penned a thank you letter to scholarship donors and supporters of the college.
As student council president, I was asked to give a short thank you from us students to you, the donors. While trying to come up with the words to say that would truly express what it means for us to have your support, there was one word that came to my mind. That word is hope.
In today's society, it seems that the media and many other outlets like to focus on the bad, whether it be wars, missing people, plagues and so on. We don't see much in terms of positive influences in our world. With college costs continuing to rise and a job market that feels shattered, what hope is there to go onto college? Why try? Especially when we have to invest anywhere from four to six years to bring ourselves to where we want to be.
That is where the hope you give us comes in. These scholarships show us that you see something in us that shines through. You see that there are people who can go out there and make a difference and change the world's direction. With that support, you give us the hope that we need, knowing we can achieve our goals and go out there and make that difference. As students, my wish for each and every one of us is that as we move forward in our paths, and we continue to instill this hope in others. We hope to one day be as humble, generous and wise as you.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
White Coat MentorsMonday, June 6th, 2011
Each year, the College invites alumni and friends to participate in the White Coat Mentor program, which allows students and alumni to connect meaningfully through philanthropy and interaction.
White Coat Mentors, for both the Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences and the Doctor of Pharmacy programs, sponsor the purchase of a student's white coat. The coat, which is presented to P1 students at the Professional Advancement Ceremony in the fall, welcomes students to the professional division with a note from the sponsor to encourage the students and invite them to communicate with the mentor.

Articles of the Day 1/28/14: Destroying Israel In Stages
Op-Ed: Confusing The World With the Facts on "Palestine"
"The Arabs invented a special national entity in the 1960s called the Palestinians, specifically for political gain. They brand Israelis as invaders and claim the geographic area called Palestine belongs exclusively to the Arabs.
The word Palestine is not even Arabic. It is a word coined by the Romans around 135 CE from the name of a seagoing Aegean people who settled on the coast of Canaan in antiquity – the Philistines. The name was chosen to replace Judea, as a sign that Jewish sovereignty had been eradicated following the Jewish revolts against Rome at that time."
Terrific article based on facts and not on political correctness.
Shin Bet: Shalit swap prisoners return to terrorism
"The Shin Bet successfully thwarted 190 terror attacks in 2013, 40 of which were coordinated by terrorists freed under the Gilad Shalit prisoner swap, according to the security service's annual terror report, released on Monday."
Proof releasing terrorists is a bad idea.
"Five out of the six deadly attacks occurred in the West Bank, as part of an overall uptick in militancy in the area."
Proof the PA has no real interest in peace.
Jordan Valley emerges as core issue in Mideast peace talks
"Don't be fooled," Maj. Gen. Gadi Shamni said. "We would lose a lot if we leave here. Intelligence, deterrence, rapid response. A lot of capabilities, seen and unseen…"
…This is the valley the Bible says Moses looked across to see, but never reach, his promised land. In the minds of a generation of Israeli military planners and hawks in the Israeli government today, the Jordan Valley is an indispensable line of defense against threats from militant groups operating in the wider Arab world…
…The valley is one of the most closely watched frontiers in the world, with some of the toughest border control anywhere. The Israelis erected early-warning towers atop the steep mountains and a "smart fence" bristling with cameras and radar. Israel controls not only the airspace here but also the electromagnetic space — the airwaves and cellular signals. They do not want to give this up."
The one border area where Israel enjoys some relative calm is the one area the Palestinians must have of course. The PA has publicly stated that they want to destroy Israel in stages. Obtaining the Jordan Valley is one stage in that effort.
Ya'alon: Palestinians see destruction of Jews as realistic possibility
"This incitement is manifest in the education system and the media, where the hatred and poison ought to be an affront to any human," he said. "It is creating another generation of Palestinian children who are taught to look at the expulsion and destruction of the Jews as a realistic possibility instead of educating them toward a culture of peace and co-existence alongside Israel."
This is exactly why peace is so hard to achieve. The Palestinians believe their own propaganda. Their hearts are hardened to the point they may be lost. Peace is not foremost in their minds. Israel's destruction is. Contrast that to the Israeli people who truly desire peace. To the point where they are considering giving up so much land they are making their position indefensible. They have given up land much to their determent and the world cries that it is not enough. Their own leftist politicians claim all they have to do is give up a little more here and a little more there. This feeds into the PA strategy of destroying Israel in stages. The Obama Administration have to know this but they don't care as long Kerry gets his peace agreement and sweet photo op moment for the next US election.
"What you are seeing in the Middle East is a problem of militancy combined with ungoverned territory," said Ramzy Mardini, a fellow at the Atlantic Council. "That is the real problem, not which groups belong to Al Qaeda and how can we get rid of them."
One of the questions I often ask myself is how is God using Al Qaeda? They are obviously extreme but they also make other groups or countries more extreme. They intimidate, raise fear, and seek to destroy innocent life. They also raise the Sunni-Shiite tensions and, unwittingly, help Israel. Syria is a perfect example. Egypt and Jordan are the big questions. Can Al Qaeda influence or even take over one of these nations? Right now, Egypt and Jordan are keeping things from exploding in the Middle East. If one of these two countries were to fall to an Islamic Al Qaeda type of group there would be an immediate response from Israel which would lead to a complete outbreak of war across the Middle East. We came close when the Muslim Brotherhood briefly held power in Egypt. Fortunately, they were not in power long enough to have an impact. Egypt and Jordan…watch these two countries carefully.
Israelis urged to prepare for battlefields dominated by robots
"Israel's military planners and high-tech defense industry must accelerate development of robotic and unmanned systems that will dominate the future battlefield, eliminating the need for large armies with fighter jets, tanks and warships, a study recommends."
Transferring the War to the Enemy's Computer
"It is a battlefield to all intents and purposes. The enemies are all the immediate suspects, but the thing is – even countries Israel has no direct conflict with, like Russia and China, possess impressive cyber capabilities, and they, too, are interested in prying into the intestines of the IDF. Instead of shells and missiles, the weapons used by the IDF cyber defenders are worms, viruses and silent Trojan Horses."
Israel is leading in many of these areas.

As a child, we all knew how to get what we want from our parents. If mama doesn't give, go to papa. Otherwise, go to ah ma or ah gong. Sure can get. I just didn't know it applies here as well. I returned from a meeting yesterday and was having lunch with with B2 (boss #2). We were just having casual conversations and he happened to ask about the work, of which I said ok (you never say work is not fine to your boss ma!), except that the internet is a little inconvenient (What little, it's DAMN inconvenient ok!) I went about elaborating how I realised it was actually a 'tradition' passed down from the 'parent'. We are separated now, but the policies remain unchanged. Yes, yesterday's technology to do tomorrow's work. I never really expected him to put in a request for me, really. Internal billing: $4.95/mth.
I mentioned it to B1 (boss #1) before who said probably cannot because the rest of the SAs don't have it. (HUH? sounds like what RK said to me last time. If other people don't make noise, then we also cannot make noise. Totally lost all respect for her!) Nevermind, I will not insist on it cos, we got to be fair right? In my heart, I thought, how convinving can he be when he has internet connection himself. He does..project management, some bit of database stuff, 0 programming. He has never touched JAVA - the language they use for WEB-BASED development projects. I suspect, when he was doing his coding in his younger days, it was never for a web-based project either.
They never get it. The MEN (yah, MEN again!) don't get it. Let me tell you, even if the PC is right in front of me where I have to shift my lazy butt out of my seat to get to it, I will be 'too lazy' to use it.
Still, I'm not happy. I'm not the first SA to get internet connection. There was one but she no longer works here. I wish the rest of the SAs could have internet connection. Its a necessity, not a luxury item! Was complaining to an ex-colleauge over the MSN as usual, he said, 'no internet, no work' :P
Sigh, now, I feel like, the more privileges they give you, the harder you're supposed to work. The lap top is on the way. It's supposed to help me with demos and presentations. :( No internet, complain. Got internet, also complain. Too tuff.
