Top Ten Books on My TBR!
7 comments:
Oooh nice! I liked the Mara Dyer series!! And funny you have An Ember in the Ashes and A Court of Thorns and Roses on the list, the sequels would definitely make mine! LOL!ReplyDelete
Here's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I still haven't read Since You've Been Gone either. I've had it for at least three years now. I'm horrible. lolReplyDelete
Great choice of topic! I haven't read any of these yet though Mistborn and A Court of Thorns and Roses are both high on my TBR.ReplyDelete
Stacy Renee @ Lazy Day Literature
Need to get on with my giant TBR.ReplyDelete
Interesting list! My TBR pile is seriously overloaded (and that's not counting my Goodreads list, which is humongous.) Both A Court of Thorns and Roses and Mistborn are on my physical TBR bookshelves, though.ReplyDelete
Out of these, I've read Mistborn (one of my all-time favorites), ACOTAR (great but the sequel is AMAZING) and Vicious (my first Schwab read which lead to an obsession with all her books) so I can definitely recommend all of those :D I still need to read Young Elites and An Ember in the Ashes though. I hope you get to read all of these soon :)ReplyDelete
Since You've Been Gone is such a great book! I read it in two days on my vacation. I couldn't put it down, which was quite a task because I was interrailing and had to interrupt my reading with changing trains and having to socialise with my friend :P Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did!ReplyDelete

Here are some pictures showing how to disassemble the Ben NanoNote
Under the thin metal piece over speaker and microphone is glued to the plastic underneath it. There are no screws or anything under the metal piece. If you still attempt to lift it off, chances are good that you will bend the metal and will not get it flat anymore. So unless you have a good reason, I suggest to keep the metal piece where it is, you can easily lift off the entire plastic it sits on, together with the metal.

Electric cars are becoming increasingly more desirable, and overall they have more advantages than disadvantages.
5 Most Popular Electric Cars >>
- The number one advantage of an electric vehicle is that no gas is required. One example is the Chevy Volt. It has a battery range of 40 miles. That means it can drive for 40 miles without using gas. 40 miles is more than the range of an average commute to work, so you can go to and from work using no gas. With minimal gas usage comes great savings. You do need gas in the Volt in case your battery runs out or you go for a long distance. However, the amount of fill ups per year will be much fewer with an electric vehicle
- You can plug the car into any outlet of the proper voltage and charge the car. Electricity is much cheaper than gas, and the savings will be dramatic
- Electric cars give off no emissions. Electric cars are even better than hybrids in this regard. Hybrids running on gas give off emissions, while electric cars are totally 100 percent free of pollutants
- Safety is a big concern with these vehicles. However, the fluid batteries actually take impact better than a fully made gas car, and can help even more in the event of an accident
- The first disadvantage is price. Electric car batteries are not cheap, and the better the battery, the more you will pay. For example, the Chevy Volt has a 40 mile range and sells for around $30,000. Compare that to the 250 to 300 mile range of cars made by Tesla Motors, which sell for anywhere between $50,000 and $100,000
- Even though it is a quiet ride, silence can be seen as a disadvantage. People like to hear cars when they are coming up behind them or beside them, and you can't hear if an electric car is near you. This has been known to lead to accidents
- Most cars take a long time to recharge their batteries. Tesla Motors' Model S can recharge in 45 minutes, but most electric cars right now take hours to charge. You can't drive the car while the batteries are charging usually, so your car will be out of commission while it is plugged in
- Most electric cars currently on the road do not have long ranges. Although in the future it will improve, most of the cars have a range of less than 25 miles, and you can't truly see the great benefits until you ride in a vehicle with a longer range
Current and Future Electric Cars
Many automakers have plans to produce electric cars--also known as an electric vehicle (EV). Past EVs never gained popularity and had notoriously poor performance, short battery life and long recharge times. But automakers are confident that advances in technology will ensure that the next generation of electric cars will satisfy the needs of today's drivers. Here are a few models scheduled to appear in showrooms soon.
Tesla Motors
Tesla Motors was founded in 2003 and quickly earned worldwide attention following the unveiling of the Tesla Roadster in 2006. This two-seater sports car accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds and has a travel range of more than 200 miles on a fully charged battery. The Roadster's efficiency and performance showcases the company's belief that an electric car can be both environmentally friendly and exciting to drive. The base MSRP is $101,500, which includes a $7,500 federal electric car tax credit. A "Sport" version is also available for an additional $19,500 and includes a sport adjustable suspension, performance tires and a 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds.
For those needing more room, Tesla is currently taking reservations for their upcoming Model S, an electric sedan that the company says will accommodate seven passengers. Varying battery and charging options will give the Model S a range of up to 300 miles and a charge time as fast as 45 minutes. Deliveries of the Model S are scheduled for late 2011 and the estimated price is $49,900 (including the tax credit).
Chevrolet Volt
The Volt is a five-passenger sedan that travels on pure electricity for an estimated 40 miles per battery charge. For longer trips or when charging is not possible, the Volt automatically switches to an onboard range extender, a gasoline-powered generator that creates more electricity to power the car. Chevrolet says the range extender will allow the Volt to travel an additional 300 miles per tank. The Volt is in showrooms at around $40,000.
Fisker Karma
Fisker Automotive is another start-up that the Karma, a four-passenger luxury sedan that uses a system almost identical to the Chevrolet Volt. The Karma has a 50-mile range on pure electricity before switching to a gasoline-powered generator that provides power for 300 miles per tank. The base price is around $87,000 (before tax credits are applied).
Smart ForTwo Electric
Smart is currently testing and researching an electric version of the ForTwo, which has an estimated range of 80 miles per charge. We should see the electric smart by 2012. Prices haven't been announced.
Nissan Leaf
The Leaf, a five-passenger sedan with an estimated 100-mile range per charge, was released in late 2010. The Leaf sells for around $36,000.
You can expect this list of electric cars to grow as more customers look for alternatives to gasoline due to fluctuating gas prices and concern for the environment.
Is an Electric Car Right for You?
There are a couple of things to consider if buying an electric car is the right decision for you.
One major factor is your price range. Some electric cars can go for over $100,000, so if you want to save money you may want to go with a hybrid instead. Because electricity is cheaper than gas, it is true that you can save money over time by driving an all electric car, but it takes a long time for the price to even out.
Electric cars are not made to go fast, and the current top speed of most models is less than 60 miles per hour. If you like to drive your car faster than that, an all electric car is probably not the best choice for you. That being said, if you will primarily use the electric car for short in-city commutes, an electric car is an excellent choice.

China Life Insurance Co, the world's biggest life insurer by market value, is interested in buying Asian assets of American International Group, a senior China Life manager briefed on the situation said on Monday.
"We want to buy parts of AIG's business, especially those in areas of Asia such as Hong Kong, Singapore and South Korea," the manager at the Beijing-based company told Reuters.
Chinese newspapers including the Southern Daily on Monday quoted China Life President Wan Feng as telling a media briefing the day before that the quality of AIG's insurance business in Asia was good but needed further observation, as AIG's financial condition might worsen.
AIG, once the world's biggest insurer, is putting its non-essential businesses up for sale after receiving a $152 billion bailout from the U.S. government to avoid bankruptcy as it was hit by the subprime debt crisis.
Japan's Nikkei business daily reported on Friday that a consortium led by China's sovereign wealth fund, which includes Chinese insurers, is in talks to buy a 49 percent stake in AIG unit Alico in a deal that could be worth up to $10.6 billion.
AIG's preferential talks with the China Investment Corp-led consortium carry a year-end deadline, the newspaper said.
China Life spokesman Li Ke and Shanghai-based AIG spokeswoman Annie Hou declined to comment.
"AIG's insurance assets in Asia, especially in China, are quite attractive to Chinese insurers that are eager to increase market share and expand overseas," said Peng Yulong, analyst at Guotai Junan Securities Co.
But he added: "Chinese insurers are not the principal movers in this case, as there's more than just one company wanting to buy the assets, and price is also an issue."
AIG's Alico, or American Life Insurance Co, has operations in more than 55 countries and has a major presence in Japan. Nikkei said AIG was considering a sale of Alico on the condition it could keep more than 50 percent of the voting rights in the company.
Another unit of AIG, American International Assurance, or AIA, is one of the biggest life insurers in Southeast Asia, with operations in China, Australia, India, Japan, Singapore and Korea. AIA China, wholly owned by AIG, is the country's oldest and biggest foreign life insurer.
About 30 companies, including Chinese firms, are interested in buying AIA's Asia assets, AIA China Vice Chairman Edmund Tse was quoted as saying last week in the 21st Century Business Herald, a Chinese financial newspaper.

It is that time of the year again, when we all reminisce about experiences lived throughout the exiting year. Here is the Hindi Cinema Blog's TOP 10 SONGS selection for our readers, taking into account more than mass hit value. We hope you like our song palette and that you might even discover a few good songs to add to your 2014 music favorites before the year is gone! Wishing you all a wonderful 2015 and many musically memorable moments ahead!
Aao Na (Haider)
The film Haider was one of the most awaited movies this year and the gritty and powerful promo song Aao Na had truly put audiences in the mood for the critical acclaim the Shahid Kapoor starrer generated. Vishal Bhardwaj and Gulzar struck gold again with a rich soundtrack. Aao Na became the flagship song of the film and transcended it however as a hit in its own right.
Jumme Ki Raat (Kick)
Th Hindi Cinema Blog is in complete agreement with the masses on this particular song, which made it to the top of the charts this year and stayed in many personal lists as a favorite. Himesh Reshammiya has never featured profusely in the blog for some reason, but this dance tune definitely brings together a fine combination, particularly with a voice such as Mika Singh in the mix. Relisten at will!
Maawa Laage (Happy New Year)
Happy New Year greeted Diwali and one of the tracks that definitely stood out from the film's soundtrack was Maawa Laage, composed by Vishal-Shekhar. Arijit Singh's and Shreya Goshal's wonderful voices are suitably accompanied by tabla, synth and string arrangements in the true tradition of feel-good blockbuster romantic songs that sell well and are also just plain pleasing to the ear. Maawa Laage is here to stay!
Fanny Re (Finding Fanny)
Finding Fanny is in HCB's opinion, one of the very best films and soundtracks to have been released in India in 2014. Read our review of the soundtrack by Mathieu Duplessy. Though we recommend the entire soundtrack (and the background score, please release it!), one of the songs you definitely do not want to miss from the year 2014 is Fanny Re.
London Thumakda (Queen)
This song became a must-have for people young and old this year, always conjuring up a feeling of celebration. Joy-inducing voices of Labh Janjua, Sonu Kakkar and Neha Kakkar fit perfectly into the festive composition by Amit Trivedi.
Locha e Ulfat (2 States)
Shankar Ehsaan Loy gave 2 States a fresh soundtrack, making Locha e Ulfat one of the major reasons to go and watch the film in cinemas. The bagpipes in such a perky pop song gave it a distinctive sound and the song will certainly remain in records as one of 2014's most popular tunes.
Fugly Fugly Kya Hai (Fugly)
This groovy song was pitcurized having two of Bollywood's most crazed about male stars in the same frame: Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan. Yo Yo Honey Singh being the singer and music director of the track, this mega hit was not lacking star power but also delivers some hearty musical punch.
Sajde (Kill Dil)
Successwise, we would be tempted to say this was the year of Arijit Singh, who has become a great favorite of listeners, converting much of what he touches into gold. Hence, with this year coming to a close, we could absolutely not skip mentioning the Shankar Ehsaan Loy recent Sajde, in which the arrangements and Singh's rendition give the track a level of refinement that is a joy to listen to together with Nihira Joshi Deshpande and the legendary Gulzar.
Akaash Zale (Happy Journey)
Happy Journey elicited a film review from us recently and this list could not be complete without the mesmerizing Aakash Zale (Lullaby) by Karan Kulkarni, featuring the pristine voice of Shalmali Kholgade.
Thumbi Penne (Bangalore Days)
Anjali Menon has been acclaimed for her Malayalam films and Bangalore Days for whom she roped in prolific composer Gopi Sunder was not an exception. Thumbi Penne, sung by Siddharth Menon is a straightforward tune that carries joy and features an honest attempt towards exploring Latin sounds which has all brought by its inclusion in our list. Enjoy! And a happy New Year to you, dear Reader!

Transfer Pricing
The experienced professionals of Andersen Tax, and the member firms and collaborating firms of Andersen Global, are ready to meet your domestic and global transfer pricing needs. We have extensive experience advising emerging businesses and multinational organizations through all aspects of their tax management lifecycle – planning, implementation, compliance, and controversy. We help you ensure that your tax positions are practically and properly aligned with your business operations.
Companies in the early stages of international expansion often consider migrating intellectual property (IP) or off-shoring various aspects of their supply chains. At the same time, more established companies tend to have complex supply chains, reflecting the cumulative impact of M&A activity and/or operational consolidation. Because companies at different stages in their development have different tax needs and obligations, our team can proactively advise on how to best structure the corresponding related-party transactions and design, implement, and document a transfer pricing policy that makes sense for your business.
We can help your company with all aspects of transfer pricing, including:
- Planning and Implementation – Design new tax structure as you grow globally and move business functions to new locations.
- Documentation – Prepare U.S. and OECD-compliant contemporaneous documentation reports for the jurisdictions in which your business operates.
- IRS and Foreign Controversy/Audit Support and Defense – Defend your transfer pricing policy with IRS or foreign tax authorities. Likewise, we can help limit uncertainty with your transfer pricing policy by pre-negotiating your position with tax authorities through private rulings or, in the case of the U.S., the Advanced Pricing and Mutual Agreement Program.
- IP/Cost Sharing Planning – Properly value IP for tax purposes in order to safeguard against tax authorities claiming that IP rights were transferred without reasonable compensation.
- Country by Country Reporting (CbCR) – As BEPS Action 13 continues to be implemented by an increasing number of countries, it is imperative for businesses (especially large enterprises) to ensure that the narrative of the CbCR forms accurately reflects where their functions, assets and risks are located, and does not suggest one that allows tax authorities to impute an alternative interpretation more to their liking.
Our approach to transfer pricing is built to provide solutions that are clear, comprehensive, concrete and convincing. Let our experienced Andersen Tax professionals help you solidify your transfer pricing position.

National diagnosis
For the time being, the first phase of developing a Climate Plan consists of:
- Establishing a regional diagnosis of greenhouse gas emissions in three sectors: energy, hydrocarbons and mines, and forests;
- Analyzing public sector policies, in light of the reduction in and adaptation to climate change;
- Analyzing the feasibility of modeling greenhouse gas emissions and removals in terms of development scenarios;
- Analyzing studies on Gabon's vulnerability to the consequences of climate change and mapping planned actions and funding;
- Undertaking an economic pre-assessment of current and future measures in the three key sectors in terms of reduction and adaptation;
- Undertaking a pre-assessment in terms of tones of carbon avoided for the main policies and measures which have been identified;
- Defining a national programme, the Climate Plan, to be presented in Durban in December 2011.
Available tools
Gabon is leading this forward-looking fight against climate change, and significant progress has been made. Thus, a certain number of tools are already available, thanks to the support of partners such as the United States, Brazil and France. In particular, these include:
- The carbon reporting tool, made available by the French Development Agency (AFD);
- The Gabonese Agency for Space Study and Observation (AGEOS), thanks to which forests, coasts and land are monitored by satellite.
International partnerships
Following Mr. Etienne Massard's contribution, the United States Ambassador, Eric Benjaminson, and the French Ambassador, Jean-François Desmazières, congratulated Gabon on its position in the fight against climate change. They also reaffirmed their countries' commitment to add various forms of support to this collective effort. They will be involved through technical and financial assistance to strengthen stakeholders' capacities. In this way, France participates in the establishment of AGEOS. The United States contributes through the LEDS programme (improving the ability to create low emission development strategies). Gabon is among the five countries in the world which have been selected in the context of this programme.
Anticipating rather than reacting
President Ali Bongo Ondimba closed the second meeting of the National Climate Council by raising the subject of the delay which has arisen in developing Gabon's Climate Plan and called upon all participants to work towards the project's success.
"Anticipating rather than reacting should be the rule from now on. [...] The future needs to be planned today. [...] The best way to guarantee success is to pool our efforts. [...] This fight isn't ours alone; it is also our children's and our grand-children's fight. [...]In light of our responsibilities, we must each be part of the solution."

Saving money is not as exhausting as it is made out to be. Sometimes it is the little change in lifestyle that can help the most. Here are 5 easy money-saving techniques that you can start today:
1. Collect change. Its easy, its smart, its practically free money. A few months worth of change can add up to big bucks. I like to keep one jar in the laundry room, to empty jingling pockets, but the kitchen and bedrooms are good places too.
2. Avoid impulse purchases Using the 30 Day Rule, consider a purchase for 30 days, if you still want it after that time then it is worth the cost. Or, if you are pressed for time, the 10 Second Rule often works just as well, look at it for 10 seconds and evaluate the price and its usefulness. Decide for yourself if it is worth the money.

Set in the future, 2044 to be precise, where time travel is not yet invented but it is invented in 2074, 30 years in the future. In monologue opening the film, our protagonist Joe tells us about it. He is a looper, hired by employers 30 years in the future, a special brand of people who do very specific but important job - kill people sent back in time. As soon as time travel is invented sometime in future, it was banned immediately. So, in 2074 mob had to use the time travel very secretly. What they do is send their targets back in time where loopers like Joe are waiting for them. Loopers have the time and place where there targets will appear. They go there and wait for them. As soon as they arrive, blindfolded and hands tied behind their back, Loopers kill them, collect the loot on them, pick up their money and enjoy the rest of their life. Reason why they are sent back to be killed - apparently it is very difficult to dispose off the bodies in future. However there is one thing that all the loopers worry about - closing their loop. Since Loopers know so much about this business and they also know about time-travel, some time in the future they themselves need to be eliminated too. So, one day target in front of them will be their own future self. Every time Looper gets rid of a target, he gets silver bars as a reward. If your reward is Gold, that means you have closed your loop. You collect your gold, come back, collect your money. Once they close their loop, their contract as a Looper expires, they get to retire from the business, enjoy the rest of 30 years of your life and then die. Usually it all runs pretty smooth but one day, one of Joe's colleagues Seth, faces ghastly consequences when he chickens out after seeing himself in front.
Even though I felt that the overall performance of the movie was little underwhelming, I will give it to you that there is a lot to like about in Looper especially with the cast. Joseph Gordan-Levitt is perfect in central role of Joe but that's hardly a news. This dude rarely disappoints. He is great in initial carefree, partying Joe but always with one eye on future. However, he is especially great later in the film as walls start to crumble around him. It's also great to see Bruce Willis in yet another action film and doing it convincingly. Put a gun in his hand and he gets into his own. Emily Blunt, though in a supporting role of Sara, probably was the best part of it mainly because I don't remember seeing her in any role remotely close to the one in this and also because of the perfect southern accent she picked up. Being a good actress helps too I guess. 10 year old Pierce Gagnon playing Cid also deserves a mention for doing freaky part really well. Rian Johnson's direction is commendable. His eye to the detail is very apparent, especially in creating the initial glimmering but still hollow world of Loopers. However just like his previous film Brick(2005), Looper falls just a little shy of greatness. The more I try and reason with myself, I get something more that works in its favour but I also think of something else that counteracts it. With the almost unanimous praise that I have seen it garner, I might not have my expectations in check but that doesn't hide the fact that it didn't feel up to the mark.
My basic problem is with the pacing. Though it never becomes boring or tedious and it does keep story moving with some kind of activity, it does not move uniformly. It keeps on going up and down a lot of times and I am blaming it for never getting me on the edge of the sit which with the story like this, I expect to be. I have also seen a lot of people talking about how it keeps all the scientific time traveling mumbo jumbo out and lets a viewer enjoy it as a movie. In my book, that's a dig against it, more so if you want to call it a time-travel movie. Simplicity isn't always Good. And then we have the ending. I will say that I actually liked the ending. It was easiest and also smartest way out of the situation and it did give me that WOW! felling for a minute but also with that ending, he walked right into the classic time-travel paradox that every time-travel movie probably should avoid. There are a couple of more things that didn't go down as well but they can be considered as minor spoilers and to keep this review spoiler-free, I won't mention them in detail here. All in all, once again movie worth watching for it's cast but one that falls a little short of its ambition.

Stocks closed the session higher on Thursday although they generally drifted lower for most of the day after opening firmly up.
First, the scoreboard:
- Dow: 17,548.62, +33.20, (0.19%)
- Nasdaq: 4,922.40, +12.64, (0.26%)
And now, the top stories on Thursday:
- A software release caused the outage at the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday. According to an update on the NYSE's "market status history" page on Thursday, the exchange started rolling out a software release ahead of a scheduled industry test on Saturday. Everything worked fine at first, until issues came up in late-morning trade, causing the exchange to halt trading at 11:32 a.m. ET. Trading resumed after 3:00 p.m.
- China's Shanghai Composite had its biggest one-day rise since 2009. It closed up more than 6%. Chinese authorities have put in place several measures, including a suspension of IPOs, to arrest the plunge in the market which is now down nearly 40% from its June 12 peak.
- Initial jobless claims rose to 297,000 last week (versus 275,000 expected,) the highest since the week of February 28. The prior period's tally was revised up by 1,000. Economists say the increase was seasonal. In a note to client after the release, Barclays wrote: "Between the holiday week and the seasonal retooling shutdowns at auto factories that are typical this time of year, we are inclined to look through the volatility in this morning's report."
- PepsiCo reported second-quarter profits that topped estimates, helped by growth in its beverages business. The company posted adjusted earnings per share of $1.33 (versus $1.24 estimated, according to Bloomberg) on sales of $15.92 billion (versus $15.8 billion.)
- Procter & Gamble announced it is merging 43 of its brands with Coty for $12.5 billion. Coty will take on brands in P&G's cosmetics and fragrances business, which include CoverGirl makeup and Gucci fragrances. The New York Post reported last month that Coty had won an auction for some of P&G's businesses. At the time, Bank of America Merrill Lynch analysts estimated that the deal could "more than double Coty's sales." According to P&G, the transaction will lead to a one-time gain of $5 billion to $7 billion. Coty shares slid as much as 10% in trading.
- Goldman thinks it is time to sell Shake Shack shares. In a note Thursday, analysts downgraded the stock to "Sell" from "Neutral," maintaining their price target of $37. The analysts said the stock is too expensive, and the IPO lockup expiration is coming July 29 - stocks typically underperform in the period leading up to this, they said.

A new tutorial video showing how to build a Sankey diagram with e!Sankey. The example they use is a steel reheating furnace.
via ifu Hamburg YouTube channel
Only energy flows in Kwh depicted. If you don't have 10 minutes to spare, skip to the 6:00 mark to still get some of the better stuff like how to do loops, hiding nodes or making color gradients on arrows.
Nicely made infographic from steelconstruction.info wiki. What happens to the building materials on demolition, how much of concrete, timber and steel can be recycled?
The three arrows are curved and start at a 7-o'clock position. Used concrete from building demolition is mostly downcycled. Wood from structural frames is mostly landfilled, or re-used. Steel has a very good recyclability and most of the material can be recovered to make new steel.
The view angle and the images of construction machines make it a very attractive infographic.
This Sankey diagram of energy flows in a "pusher type reheating furnace" illustrates an article on 'Reheating Furnaces in Steel Plants' by Satyendra on the ISPAT Guru blog.
Unit of flow is not clear, but the main stream arriving from the top represents the baseline 100% (508 units) of which a portion can be recuperated and fed back into the furnace as preheated air.
Browsing through the blogs on data visualization and infographics (check my blogroll) I often find inspiration in Nels' MFA diagrams. From time to time I like to beef up the skinny MFA diagram skeletons a bit by converting them into Sankey diagrams. At the same time, by translating the numbers into Sankey arrows one gets a better idea what the main (mass) flows are.
This is a MFA diagram on Iron and Steel Flows in the European Union in 2000 as found in this post. Original data is from a 2008 OECD study, flows in Mt.
The description of the diagram says: "A study of iron and steel flows in 2000 in the European Union showed that an input of about 120 Mt of iron ore (of which 98 Mt was imported) yielded 98 Mt of primary crude steel (i.e. produced directly from iron ore and coke). A further 65 Mt, representing 40% of total crude steel production, were produced as secondary crude steel, produced from scrap steel."
I did a first quick version of the flows as Sankey diagram, trying to stick very much to the layout of the original diagram. All nodes are the same size and more or less located at the position of the master. It already shows that the main steel flows: iron ore imported into the European Union, and steel scrap being recycled within the EU. Export of semi-finished steel products from the EU to the Rest of World (52 Mt) almost balanced with 47 Mt of semi-finished steel products imported into the EU.
I tried to improve the diagram by removing the three nodes 'New Scrap', 'Prompt Scrap' and 'End of Life products' since there is no transformation of these flows at the nodes (also no change in quantity). Further I reduced the size of some boxes and dragged the 'Semi-finished Products' (Rest of World) box closer to the 'Finished Steel Products' (European Union) box to avoid crossing streams. Wherever possible I try to avoid diagonal arrows.
The final result also has the Rest of World and European Union grouping. I am not to happy with the colors though.
Your thoughts?
Following up to my Aug 25, 2011 post on Global Steel and Aluminium Flows, I would like to recommend the follwing book that has just been released: Sustainable Materials – with Both Eyes Open: Future Buildings, Vehicles, Products and Equipment – Made Efficiently and Made with Less New Material by Julian M. Allwood and Jonathan M. Cullen.
I'm hardly a hundred pages into reading, but I already love it. The book is very graphical (to say the least), well illustrated, with many graphs and photos, infographics and even historic images. Plus – and this is why it deserves to be presented here on the blog – it features a great number of Sankey diagrams.
I really enjoy the lego bricks in the steel making flow chart (pp. 121-127). You're also going to love the 'WhatsApp'-style chat between Henry Ford and the Wright Brothers (p. 181).
This book "faces up to the impacts of making materials in the 21st century. We're already making materials well, but demand keeps growing and so we need to start using them well to." (from the back cover)
Sustainable Materials with Open Eyes by Julian M. Allwood and Jonathan M. Cullen can obtained from Amazon and – I am pretty much sure – from your local book dealer. Here is the book's website.
You might remember the radial Sankey diagrams "invented" by Visio guy (here). This 3-D version below left me speechless… I hope the guys at junkcharts dedicate a critical evaluation to it….
(view the original diagram here)
This is from EUROFER (The European Confederation of of Iron and Steel Industries) and shows steel flows in fifteen European countries (EUR-15) in million metric tons. Values are for 2004. The grey area is supposed to represent steel accumulated in capital goods (machinery, buildings, …) over a certain life time.
Whooo woah, that's a merry go round, I feel dizzy already!
Checking further on the authorship of the Sankey diagram I presented in this post, I came to the LCMP website at the University of Cambridge. LCMP? Yes … Low Carbon and Metals Processing. The engineering research group around Julian Allwood and Jonathan Cullen have three large research themes: WellFormed, WellMet2050, and WellMade.
The below Sankey diagrams are from the report 'Going on a metal diet' by Allwood, Cullen et.al. published within the WellMet2050 research theme.
The first Sankey diagram shows the global steel flows in 2007
the other the global aluminium flows in 2007:
One page 7 of the report the authors explain
"In our maps, the width of each line is proportional to the mass flow of metal. Values for the major flows are given in Mt (million tonnes). Steel flows less than 1 Mt and aluminium flows less than 0.05 Mt are not shown. Each major process step is shown as a vertical black line, with three possible outputs: useful metal (colored), process scrap (grey) and metal losses (black). Useful metal continues to flow to the next process step, while scrap loops back to the appropriate melting stage where it is recycled. Internal recycling loops, for example from the continuous casting processes for steel are shown small oval loops. (…)The working papers … give more detail about creating the Sankey diagrams
Unfortunately these two mentioned working papers are not (yet?) available on the website. These really fantastic Sankey diagrams have been compiled from different data sources. I thought I'd share them with you. Please visit the LCMP website and read about their other exciting projects.

Baked Tilapia with Tomatoes
I've been really into simple tomato sauces lately. You really don't have to add much to tomatoes to make a really mouth watering sauce.
I bought a big pack of frozen tilapia filets a while ago and I really needed to start using them up, so I decided to give them the tomato sauce treatment. The result? YUMMM! I wanted to eat all four! The tomato sauce not only added a ton of flavor, but it kept the tilapia super moist and tender while it baked.
For this tomato sauce I went with a classic garlic, oregano, lemon blend and it was flavorful, but light enough to not drown out the tilapia. I decided to bake it in my cast iron skillet purely for the sake of the photograph (white fish against black skillet = good), otherwise I would have just used a glass or ceramic casserole dish. I'm guessing the cast iron skillet took a while longer to heat up in the oven than a glass dish would, so if you're using glass or ceramic you might find that you need to shorten the baking time a bit. Fish cooks quickly, so when you start to see the juices bubbling throughout (not just around the edges), it's probably done.
Admittedly, these servings are not huge, so I suggest serving the fish over rice and adding some green vegetables on the side (broccoli, spinach, asparagus, zucchini, something like that). Super healthy, super delicious.
Baked Tilapia with Tomatoes
Baked Tilapia with Tomatoes
- 4-4 oz tilapia filets** ($3.33)
- 15 oz can diced tomatoes ($0.69)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced ($0.16)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil ($0.32)
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano ($0.05)
- 1/4 tsp salt ($0.02)
- Freshly cracked pepper (10-15 cranks of a pepper mill) ($0.05)
- 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice $0.03 ($0.03)
- handful parsley for garnish (optional) ($0.15)
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. If the tilapia is frozen, thaw it prior to beginning.
- Drain the excess liquid from the can of tomatoes (no need to squeeze it dry, just pour off the excess). Combine the tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir well.
- Add a small amount of the tomato mixture to the bottom of a small casserole dish or oven safe skillet. Arrange the tilapia filets in a single layer in the dish, then top with the rest of the tomato mixture.
- Bake the tilapia in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes**, or until the juices are bubbling all around the fish (not just on the very outer edges). Roughly chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the fish just before serving.
Step by Step Photos
One day when I was all like, "HEALTHY!" I bought this huge bag of individually frozen tilapia filets, but then never used them. It was $9.99 for a bag of 12 filets. Not bad. Each filet is about 4 oz. and I used one filet per serving (four filets total). They thaw quickly, but if you forget to take them out of the freezer, you can place them in a colander and run cool water over them for a few minutes. They're individually sealed, so the water won't get in. Also, begin preheating the oven to 350 degrees.
Pour off the excess liquid from the tomatoes (no need to squeeze them dry, just get rid of the extra liquid), then add them to a bowl with 2 cloves of minced garlic, 2 Tbs olive oil, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice, and some freshly cracked pepper. Stir the mixture well.
Add a couple spoonfulls of the tomato mixture to the bottom of your cooking dish (glass, ceramic, or cast iron casserole dishes). This will put a thin layer between the fish and the dish so that it doesn't stick and it will flavor the fish from the bottom up.
Next, arrange the filets in the dish in a single layer.
Then pour the rest of the tomato mixture over top. Try to cover the fish as much as possible. Bake the fish in the preheated 350 degree oven for 20-30 minutes, depending on the thickness of your dish. This cast iron skillet is really heavy and takes a long time to heat up, so I baked for 30 minutes. A thinner glass dish would probably take closer to 20 minutes. Keep an eye on the dish and watch for the juices to start bubbling up throughout (not just around the outer edges). When that happens, it's probably finished.
Add some roughly chopped parsley just before serving. I suggest serving over some rice to soak up the delicious juices, although you could also dip some crusty bread in there!
Look how flakey and moist the fish is! Perfect! So much flavor, too.

London-based designer Roberta Einer's Fall 2016 combines uber-glamorous and heavily embellished dresses with oversized silhouettes, delivering a distinctly feminine and playful collection. While some of her more impressive pieces have featured in editorials shot for the likes of American Vogue, Dazed, i-D and Hunger magazine, the stand out piece from Fall 2016 include the luxuriously oversized faux fur coats, exquisitely tailored off the shoulder tops and equally colourful block heeled shoes. The slightly-mad and more whimsical pieces are balanced by the silken pant suits, making it feel more adding a grown up touch to the whole affair. What really excites me about this collection is the styling for this lookbook, with each outfit an explosion of colour, as well as texture. The set design also strongly emphasises texture in a pastel colour palette, with an apparently random arrangement of recycled materials acting as the backdrop for the collection.
Even though I live in Australia, this entire collection has got me excited for Fall and the upcoming holiday season. I realise that not everyone feels as strongly as I do when it comes to sparkly lurex maxi skirts but for the minimalists out there (are there any of you out there?) the off-the-shouder tops might tickle your fancy. Whatever you're into, you've gotta admit the makeup looks with each outfit brought a certain kind of energy to the whole collection. These outfits being paired with equally powerful beauty looks serves as a constant reminder for me to do some research and invest in a decent eye shadow palette. If spearmint green eyelids worn with sequined thigh high boots aren't going to get you into the spirit of the season and bring Christmas cheer, then I don't know what will. For those who aren't into celebrating Christmas, you should at least treat yourself to a cocktail night, put your feet up and your dancing shoes on.
Since launching her eponymous label in September 2015, she's continued to wow the fashion establishment with her eclectic designs showcasing her dedication towards maximalist embroideries and tonal embroideries. I remember vividly the first time I caught glimpse of Roberta Einer's designs, with her Spring 2016 collection a hurricane of fuchsia pink and aqua and swatches showcasing ribbon interwoven with tweed. It was unlike I had ever seen or experienced before, and there's been nothing like it since. Originally from Tallinn in Estonia, Einer studied at some of London's most prestigious fashion institutes, starting her Foundation in Art & Design at Central Saint Martins before graduating with a BA (Hons) from University of Westminster in 2015 with a BA. She then went on to do placement at Balmain, where her previously minimalist aesthetic grew into a vibrant celebration of colour brought to life through adopting traditional couture techniques. I can't wait to see what she does, turning her hand to even more colour palettes and continuing to reinvent herself and her practice.

How To Write A Great Dissertation Proposal Outline
20 suggestions to conclude your dissertation
I HAVEN'T Attained A lot of people PH.D. Pupils WHO Never Plan To WRITE. SOME Are likely to LIKE WRITING Upwards Of People, But The Majority Benefit from WRITING-OR, At The Very Least, THE Enjoyment Of Experiencing Compiled. Exactly where You Notice Oneself At The Have a passion for-FOR-WRITING SPECTRUM, A DISSERTATION Is waiting for Finalization, And Also You Requirement Accomplish. HERE ARE A FEW Suggestions To HELP YOU. 1. WRITE Faster. THE…
I haven't became aquainted with a great deal of Ph.D. university students who don't choose to write. Some can potentially like writing more than others, but the majority take pleasure in writing-or, more than, the enjoyment of owning put together. Wherever you see on your own on the absolutely adore-for-writing variety, a dissertation awaits completion, and you just really need to coating. Here are several ways to help you.
1. Write earlier. The dissertation writing routine can rapidly develop to be paralyzing for its volume and significance. It is a mission that will be reviewed rigorously through your expert and your committee, and your graduating will depend on your very successful conclusion and safety. Presented with these realities is usually overwhelming and tempt that you hold back until you could possibly decide that you've reviewed or assumed quite enough with regard to the issue. Though, the longer you wait writing, slightly more very hard it will be to actually create the actual procedure. The response to your paralysis would be to get started in penning. Are you unclear about your discussion or maybe not completely persuaded you have carried out the requisite research? You will be directly: your case might not be airtight, and you might need to do a lot of following; but you are able to discover from what extent these complications requirement eyes once you begin writing. Output begets productiveness, and you will probably be very impressed at how fights check out shape and in addition the purpose within your research is forged like you write.
2. Write consistently. So, do not avoid writing. Undoubtedly, you must still examine and learning and carry notices-I will mention this a whole lot more in just a minute-but it is best if you make your gears from crushing for a stop. You want to keep thought process working hard and your own activity changing. Your assignment will never be to go at the hundred articles of notices to all your manager-make sure you result in a dissertation with overall phrases and lines and chapters. Bear writing.
3. Write to help spin and rewrite. Composing earlier and writing continually is only able to appear any time you are not drank with perfection. Many of us are dejected from writing for the reason that we believe our principal draft will need to be our last write. But this is the disorder. Make your ideas on paper and system to go back and repair clumsy phrases, very poor term possible choices, and illogical or unsubstantiated quarrels for your up coming drafts. Realizing that rewriting is a member of the writing progression will 100 % free everyone to write persistently, make progression, and look forward to restoring affairs soon after.
4. Expend sufficient time ascertaining your thesis and technique. This most likely could fit into the most recognized port, although i wished to point out the importance writing without delay. Apart from, you can definitely find that you choose and revise your thesis and methodology to some extent like you write to make progression in developing your general debate. Having said that, the adage applies: version an excellent thesis and methodology document together with your dissertation will "write on its own." Strategy to devote more time to writing and rewriting and rewriting once more your thesis and technique statements so that you will know what your location is looking and precisely where you ought to go.
5. When you get bogged down, proceed to an extra area. Possessing a clear out thesis and technique will assist you to move around to your dissertation when you get caught up. Of course, we must not set up a habit of cutting down on challenging functions, but many times it will be a much more very effective using opportunity to turn to divisions which may write really easy. Like you continuously make improve as part of your assignment and have sayings on paper, you will also help minimize the be scared that so often looms through your project when you get stuck with your writing ceases.
6. Struggle the need just to walk clear of writing if this should get extremely tough. Needing recommended anyone to go on to the next area when you are getting bogged down, it could be important that you place in a managing comment to motivate you to definitely resist on the hard spots on your job. I never imply that you ought to compel writing when it is transparent that you may need to earn some structural adjustments or conduct some good deal more research on a assigned niche. But if you learn one self dreading a unique component of your dissertation merely because it will require some care-numbing, go-on-your-desktop, prayer-providing rigor, then my counsel is generally to facial area these strong segments directly and lay into your recliner till you make some progress. You will be stunned by how momentum will grow out of your dogged determination to hammer out these complicated servings of any project.
7. Strive for fineness but bear in mind that this may not be your magnum opus. A dissertation ought to be of publishable high-quality and it will surely really should try to beyond the muster to your supervisor and committee. However it is another graduation requiremement. Carry out the research. Set up a contribution. Surface finish the design. And want to write your your five-size theology in case you have 30-40 alot more decades of scientific study, representation, and instructing within your belt.

Key strategy
"Product placement has evolved from a novel marketing tactic to a key marketing strategy on a global scale, as brand marketers seek more effective methods to make important emotional connections with consumers," said Patrick Quinn, president of PQ Media, which conducted the study. "Fear of ad-skipping technology, doubts about traditional advertising's effectiveness and declining government media subsidies have fueled a dramatic increase in the value of seamless brand integration."
New deals
As a result, product-placement shops could reap big benefits. Firms in that sector have landed a number of new clients in the past six months:
- NMA Entertainment won AMC Theatres, Dyson vacuums, Capital One and Perles de Tahiti, a fashion and jewelry marketer.
- UPP Entertainment Marketing picked up Silk Soymilk, Sundance Spas, Ask.com, Waste Management Recycle America, H2 Ultra, XS Energy Drink, Power Horse Energy Drink, Enyce urban fashions and Nature Made Vitamins.
- Propaganda Global Entertainment Marketing signed on Campari, Santa Margherita wine and Diesel.
- Set Resources took on Patr¢n and Beefeater Gin.
- Creative Entertainment Services added Volkswagen.
Cluttered market
"Brands know that in this cluttered market they have to raise their game," said Daphne Briggs, managing director, Propaganda Americas. "Historically, placement was a function of PR, but companies now understand that it's viable and needs to be funded."
Still, while there's a commitment to placement and promotions, the money is coming from existing budgets. "It's not new money," said Devery Holmes, president of NMA Entertainment and Marketing. "We wish, but that's not the case."
More marketers also are moving to paid placements and integrations from barter deals, boding ill for placement agencies built on monthly retainers from brands to broker barter deals to place products on sets, according to PQ Media.
Global surge of product placements
Paid product-placement spending surged 42.2% globally in 2005 to $2.21 billion, according to PQ Media, while the value of nonpaid placements rose only 21% to $3.8 billion. Paid placements in the U.S. accounted for $1.5 billion in 2005. That figure is expected to increase to $5.5 billion in 2010, PQ Media said.
"The retainer model is losing share," Mr. Quinn said.
The business is changing in other ways as well. Many marketers want to move beyond traditional product placement into co-promotions that extend outside TV, film or music videos, Ms. Holmes said. And they are talking more often about investing in their own content. They're also increasingly interested in digital and online entertainment.
The changes have forced placement agencies to expand what they do. Most also broker sponsorships and promotions, negotiate strategic alliances, produce after-parties and event marketing, and handle celebrity outreach and PR.
"The fact that there's so much product placement shows that we have another advertising medium," said Jay Newell, a communications professor at Iowa State University who's studied product placement extensively. "But it's starting to be saturated and might lose its effectiveness in the short run."
