Madonna was born in Bay City in Michigan in the United States of America. In the year of 1977, she shifted to New York City as she wanted to embark on a career in the field of modern dance. She successfully performed with music groups such as Emmy and the Breakfast Club. In the year of 1983, she released her debut studio recorded album. From thereon, she kept releasing a number of albums which got her a lot of fame and fans alike. She made it a point to push all sorts of boundaries in her lyrical content to get into the mainstream famous imagery as well as music in most of her enigmatic music videos. Before long, she was a prominent face on MTV (Music Television. All through her career, numerous hit singles of hers have been on the number one slot on the record charts on an international level. Some of her very well known and popular super hit singles have been "Vogue", "Hung Up", "Like a Virgin", "4 Minutes", "Music", "Like a Prayer", "Frozen" and "Papa Don't Preach".
She has also appeared in various movie productions. In the year of 1985 she played a role in the movie called "Desperately Seeking Susan". For her role in this movie she received great positive feedback. However, many of the movies that Madonna did later on did not garner a lot of great critical praise. Nevertheless, she did ultimately win an award in the Best Actress in Motion Picture Musical or Comedy category at the prestigious Golden Globe Awards. She received this award for playing a character in the movie known as Evita which came out in the year of 1996. Apart from being a successful musician, she has also ventured into being a fashion designer, a movie director as well as a producer and a children's book writer. She is a successful business woman. In the year of 1992, she created an entertainment company by the name of Maverick. Her entertainment company was a joint business enterprise with the Time Warner entertainment company. In the year of 2007, she ended up signing an exceptional and truly unmatched contract with Live Nation for US $120 million.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has listed Madonna as one of the best selling female rock musicians of the 20th century. She is also considered to be the second highest selling female musicians in the United States of America. She has fruitfully scored 64 million certified records. In the year of 2008, she was ranking at the number two position in the Billboard magazine, just behind the famous band of The Beatles in the list of Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists. This ranking of hers makes her into one of the most sought after exceptionally successful solo musicians in the chart. In 2008, she was inducted into the famous Rock and Roll Hall of Fame also.
The iconic singer, Madonna, is ready for her tenth worldwide concert tour, The Rebel Heart Tour, in support of her latest studio album of the same name. The tour will kick off in August 2015 and will continue till December 2015. The Rebel Heart received a great commercial response and positive reviews from the critics. It made it at number two on the Billboard 200. Madonna will be treating her fans by performing all her latest tracks such as "Living for love," "Wash all over me," "Body shop," "Hold tight" and "Devil pray."

Messenger RNA molecules are temporary molecules. They typically last about ten hours in our cells, but this lifespan varies widely between different messages. Some encode proteins with central housekeeping tasks, such as the enzymes of biosynthesis and catabolism, and can last for days in the cytoplasm. Others encode proteins with more time-dependent tasks, such as transcription factors, and last for only minutes before they are destroyed. The amount of a particular messenger RNA is modulated both at the beginning of its life, by controlling the amount that is transcribed from the DNA, and by controlling how fast it is degraded when it is no longer needed.
Messenger RNA molecules are protected at both of their ends. The front end is protected by a molecular "cap" composed of an oddly-connected, methylated guanine. The tail end of the strand is protected by a long string of adenine nucleotides. Cells use two different pathways to destroy messenger RNA, which use two different approaches to overcome these protections. Both pathways begin when the polyadenine tail is removed from the end of the messenger RNA, but they have different ways of dealing with the cap. One pathway attacks the cap immediately, using a dedicated enzyme to remove the cap and then using an exoribonuclease to chew the strand away one nucleotide at a time, start to finish. The other pathway leaves the cap until the end. First, exosomes clip away nucleotides from the end of the RNA strand. The exosome, however, has trouble finishing its task and leaves a short RNA strand with the capped guanine still intact. This is where the scavenger decapping enzyme DcpS comes in. It takes short, capped oligonucleotides and breaks off the terminal cap, finishing the job of degradation.
DcpS is a dimeric protein complex with several moving parts. Each protein chain folds to form two large domains connected by flexible linkers, which then assemble side-by-side to form an enzyme with two active sites, located in the large grooves between the domains. The N-terminal domain, shown at the top here, grips the neighboring subunit with an extensive domain swapped interaction, gluing the entire complex together. When the protein is not bound to substrates, it forms a symmetrical structure, as first revealed in the structure of the mouse DcpS solved by the PSI Joint Centers for Structural Genomics (PDB entry 1vlr, shown at the top).
Structures of DcpS with substrates and with inhibitors have shown that the N-terminal domain rocks back and forth, closing the active site around the substrate on one side, and then opening when the reaction is finished. The first inhibitor structures were recently solved with the help of the PSI Accelerated Technologies Center for Gene to 3D Structure. In these structures, such as PDB entry 3bla shown in the Jmol image below, one active site is closed tightly around an inhibitor molecule, and the other side is trapped in an open, catalytically-incompetent conformation.
These inhibitors were found as part of a targetted search for drugs to fight spinal muscular atrophy. This disease is the most common cause of hereditary infant death, and is caused by defects in the SMN1 gene. Surprisingly, there is a second gene, SMN2, that can substitute for the SMN1 gene if it is activated over its normal levels. It was found that these inhibitors activate the SMN2 gene by blocking the action of DcpS, ultimately leading to increased levels of SMN messenger RNA.
The DcpS enzyme is a dimer of identical subunits. In this Jmol image, the N-terminal domains are colored blue and the C-terminal domains are colored magenta. One subunit is in bright colors and the other is in pastel colors. Notice that the N-terminal domain is rocked to one side, binding tightly around one of the bound inhibitors (shown in green). Also notice the large domain-swapped portions in the N-terminal domains.

Чарльз Сесил Джон Мэннерс, 6-й герцог Ратленд (; 16 мая 1815 — 3 марта 1888, Бельвуар) — британский аристократ и консервативный политик. Видный член партии протекционистов, недолгое время (менее месяца) являлся ее лидером в Палате общин. Впоследствии занимал посты лорда-лейтенанта Линкольншира и Лестершира. Он был известен как маркиз Грэнби с 1815 по 1857 год.

Ранние годы
Родился 16 мая 1815 года в Эшби-де-ла-Зуш, графство Лестершир, Англия. Чарльз Мэннерс был третьим, но старшим из выживших сыновей Джона Меннерса, 5-го герцога Ратленда (1778—1857), и леди Элизабет Говард (1780—1825). Он получил прекрасное образование, окончил Итонский колледж и Тринити-колледж в Кембридже. В 1835 году маркиз Грэнби получил степень магистра.

Политическая карьера
В 1837 году Мэннерс был избран в парламент от округа Стэмфорд. Там он быстро стал известен как красноречивый, но лишённый таланта политик-протекционист. В 1843—1846 годах маркиз был лордом опочивальни при принце Альберте. Вскоре лидер протекционистов в Палате общин лорд Бентинк отправился в отставку, и Меннерс заменил его на этом месте. Это произошло 10 февраля 1848 года, а уже 4 марта Грэнби отказался от лидерского звания, поскольку чувствовал себя неспособным управлять партией.

Отставка
В начале следующей сессии парламента сложился своеобразный триумвират Мэннерса, Дизраэли и Херриса. Борьба партий в парламенте закончилась для Грэнби отставкой в 1851. Спустя год он был назначен лордом-лейтенантом графства Линкольншир.

Герцог Ратленд
20 января 1857 года скончался Джон Меннерс, 5-й герцог Ратленд, отец маркиза Грэнби. Чарльз унаследовал титул герцога Ратленда. В политику он не вернулся, хотя был в почёте при дворе королевы. В 1868 году он стал рыцарем Ордена Подвязки. Оставшиеся годы жизни герцог занимал должность лорда-лейтенанта Лестершира. Ратленд умер в 1888 году, немного не дожив до 73 лет.

Личная жизнь
6-й герцог Ратленд никогда не был женат. В молодости он был влюблен в Мэри Энн Рикеттс, но его отец запретил этот брак. Впоследствии у него была связь с леди Майлз, которой он подарил свою яхту. Наследником герцогского титула стал его младший брат Джон Меннерс, 7-й герцог Ратленд.

Титулатура
 6-й герцог Ратленд (с 20 января 1857)
 6-й маркиз Грэнби, Ноттингемшир (с 20 января 1857)
 14-й граф Ратленд (с 20 января 1857)
 6-й лорд Меннерс из Хэддона (с 20 января 1857).

Did Mary Want to Be Mary?
Yet, with her head spinning, filled with questions, uncertain what it all meant, Mary's response to Gabriel was simple and profound. She did not need to understand fully. She simply said, "Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word" (Luke 1:38).
Mary said, "Yes," despite knowing that, according to the law, young women who were legally engaged but found to be pregnant by someone other than their betrothed were to be stoned to death. (See Deuteronomy 22:23-24.) She said, "Yes," despite knowing that some women died in childbirth. She said, "Yes," despite knowing that it would mean the end of the dreams she had for her wedding day, and it would likely lead to Joseph calling off the marriage. She said, "Yes," despite knowing that she might be an unwed mother with child.
Protestants have long reacted to what they perceive as an overemphasis on Mary within Roman Catholicism. We hear Roman Catholics refer to Mary as the "Queen of Heaven" and we chafe a bit. We've reacted by downplaying Mary and minimizing the role she played in God's plan.
However, it is important to stop and recognize that, aside from Jesus himself, no other human being played so crucial a role in the salvation of the human race as Mary. The redemption of humanity, and God's plans to step into our world, all hinged upon what Mary would say to Gabriel, the messenger.
Her assent set in motion the mystery of the Incarnation. As a consequence of her willingness, Mary's own body knit together the Messiah. It was her blood that carried nutrients to the child. It was her tender words, spoken and sung as mothers do to the children in their wombs, that quieted and comforted him. For nine months, divinity resided within her womb. No one before or since has had such intimate union with God. An ancient Christian hymn captures Mary's role in our salvation when it says, "He whom the entire universe could not contain was contained within your womb." The early church called her Theotokos—the one who gives birth to God—as a way of capturing both the identity of her son and the importance of her role in this story.
When Mary finally gave birth to Jesus and suckled him, the Son of God was fed and sustained by the milk from her breasts. She tenderly held him. She changed his diapers and bathed him and sang him to sleep. She taught him and instilled in him faith in his heavenly Father. She feared for him, cried for him, and, more than anything, loved him. And, thirty-three years after his birth, she stood by and wept as her son died on a Roman cross.
Hands shot up and eyes danced as all the little girls jumped up and down. Every one of them wanted to be Mary. Hers was the starring role!
As we consider that moment of decision for Mary, we see in her a witness and an example of how we are meant to live. Her mission reminds us that God's call is sometimes difficult. It may lead us to set aside our own plans. It may mean giving up hopes and dreams we have cherished for a lifetime. It may mean risks. It may be frightening.
Sometimes God asks us to be with people we don't want to be with, to go to places we don't want to go to, and to do things we don't want to do. This is part of what Mary's story teaches us. Mary is twice said to be favored by God, and yet God's favor meant not a life of bliss, but a life of risk. It must have been hard to imagine that this was what it meant to be favored by God.

Jonas Woldemariam, the diffident and aloof Ethiopian-American narrator of Dinaw Mengestu's How to Read the Air, was born and raised in Peoria, Illinois, but is afflicted with the angst and uncertainty of a deracinated and perpetual migrant.
You would be forgiven the assumption that The Black Russian, a new book by Vladimir Alexandrov, is about the vodka and coffee liqueur cocktail.
Some might grumble that the novel Out of It, with its secular, nominally Muslim, and Westernized Palestinian protagonists who oppose Islamists both for their ideology and their attacks on Israeli civilian targets, was deliberately crafted with the intent of making a much-maligned Arab people more palatable to a Western readership.

What could be more fascinating than helping ideas turn into successful entrepreneurial realities? Inventiva brings to you the story of truly an inspiration and a wonder woman – Vani Kola, the founder of Kalaari Capital. Vani is a venture capitalist and her firm Kalaari Capital is one of country's foremost early-stage venture capital firms.
The Hyderabadi girl is a certified electrical engineer. She pursued her Bachelors from Osmania University while finishing her Masters from Arizona State University.
In the US Vani founded RightWorks, and then Certus Software. She was the CEO at both the companies. Her strong 22-year-old career at Silicon Valley really honed her creating something as humungous and successful as Kalaari Capital.
On her return to India in 2006 she began her journey as a venture capitalist in association with the NEA. However, she re-branded her company to Kalaari Capital in 2012 and started her own entrepreneurial journey as a 150 million dollar fund.
Today the company holds 650 million dollars plus in assets under management. She along with her team has been the financial backbone for several startups that have gone on to become global market leaders now. For instance, Myntra, Snapdeal and Curefit to name a few are the giants she's helped build along the way.
Vani usually participates in Series A investments. Her portfolio consists of a multitude of companies (30+) that she has invested in to grow in heaps and bounds.
As an entrepreneur, if you have a keen eye and understanding of the market and its future needs, nothing can stop you. This is what perhaps motivated Vani to start off and be especially interested in the E-commerce space.
It's good to note that at that time in the country, E-commerce was barely at its boom. The space was quite new and risky for an entrant to try tapping into. Such that, it would take only a greatly foresighted business mind to predict the drastic change that was to come.
What does Vani love the most about working as part of Kalaari?
As for formal recognition and rewards, Mrs Kola is and has been facilitated a number of times by the most prestigious juries. For instance, she recently won the TiE Delhi-NCR 5th Edition of Women Entrepreneurship Summit Award in 2018. She has also been awarded by NDTV the Women of Worth award for leadership excellence in business and entrepreneurship.
When not working, Vani believes in rejuvenating herself through meditation. She places immense importance on wellness. She loves her yoga time and would like to teach the same someday.
What's more? The founder and CEO of Kalaari herself believes in a sustainable approach to life. She actually grows produce in her own garden which forms the basis of all her family needs. She is a family person herself, thoroughly enjoying the company of her husband and two children as and when free from work.
Wait there's more…Vani has also run in important marathons and actually climbed the Mount Kilimanjaro! Need we say more?

How to Prove Yourself Wrong When Being "Right" Is Holding You Back
By Alida Miranda-Wolff
To be wrong is to be human. We all make mistakes, hold misconceptions, and fall into misinformation traps.
The problem is not that we're wrong, but that we convince ourselves we're right anyway even when presented with the truth. This phenomenon is known as motivated reasoning.
Motivated reasoning is the practice of trying to make some ideas win and others lose based on our own preexisting values.
As objective as we think we are, "our judgement is strongly influenced by which side we want to win," according to Julia Galef, co-founder of the Center for Applied Rationality.
Decades of psychological studies prove this out. In fact, one landmark 1979 experiment on the death penalty showed that we use science and presumed scientific facts selectively to either defend or strengthen our preexisting beliefs.
In the study, participants on both sides of the death penalty debate were shown two fake scientific studies that disagreed on whether the death penalty deters crime. Anti-death penalty participants cited the scientific study that showed the death penalty was not a deterrent as more convincing and criticized the one that showed it was a deterrent. Pro-death penalty participants reacted the same way, but in reverse.
"People's deep-seated views about morality, and about the way society should be ordered, strongly predict who they consider to be a legitimate scientific expert in the first place — and thus where they consider scientific consensus to lie on contested issues," according to Chris Mooney.
Personally, I pride myself on making fact-based, evidence-backed arguments and privileging questions over answers. I have strongly held values, but loosely held opinions, which should allow me to be swayed by new facts.
But here's the problem: I have strongly held values.
And strongly held values are primary sources of motivated reasoning in the first place. I am just as guilty of bias as everyone else.
This bias creates major problems in our world. Alternative facts are proliferating across social platforms, fake news is passing as real news, and science is being inaccurately cited to justify denial of climate change and avoidance of vaccinations.
This bias also creates major problems in our work.
If the future of work demands we learn faster and more deeply, and if solving our current business challenges necessitates open-mindedness and a willingness to seek questions in favor of answers, we need to check our own biases to succeed. –Click to Tweet
Especially because we really can't wait for others to do it for us.
Professor Stephan Lewandowsky's research on the backfire effect shows that when others try to change our minds, we hold onto our existing beliefs even more tightly. It's our responsibility to take the antidote to motivated reasoning ourselves.
How to Combat Motivated Reasoning
1. Understand Why It Happens (and Be Honest with Yourself About It)
Reasoning is emotional. Neuroscience shows our feelings arise more quickly than our deliberations, which is likely tied to our evolutionary need to react quickly to environmental stimuli to survive.
Basically, our fight-or-flight response kicks in when we're presented with facts that contradict our deeply held beliefs, before we have a chance to assess the new information rationally.
That's why we must be conscious of what Chris Mooney warns: "when we think we're reasoning, we may instead be rationalizing." That tendency leads us down the slippery slope of confirmation bias, which nudges us to collect information that supports our beliefs and ignore information that doesn't.
Once you accept that we are wired to be biased, you can start overcoming your biases and move towards a higher state of objectivity. –Click to Tweet
2. Adopt the "Scout Mindset"
Adopting what Julia Galef calls the "scout mindset" is the first step in reducing your own bias.
Scouts try to get an accurate picture of reality, even when it's unpleasant and inconvenient. Their self-worth isn't tied to being right, but to testing their own beliefs. They feel bad about themselves if they fall into black-and-white, right-or-wrong thinking, and they feel most proud of themselves when they collect new information and pursue their curiosity.
In other words, the first step to fighting motivated reasoning is to change your relationship to truth.
The more you prioritize finding truth over being its master, the more likely you are to be objective. –Click to Tweet
3. Look for Empirically Testable Facts
In a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, researchers found that when religious participants were presented with a critical article on religion they were more likely to cite untestable evidence for their beliefs than those who were presented with a neutral article.
This trend towards the "untestable" cemented them in their beliefs because new information could not be used to verify or refute what they shared.
Two additional studies from the same researchers found that the more untestable facts were presented to participants, the more entrenched in those beliefs they became.
To combat motivated reasoning, focus on rejecting untestable beliefs and searching for testable facts. This will help you fight the desire to cling more deeply to your current beliefs and allow you to evaluate them less subjectively.
4. Build Hypotheses First
Part of our tendency towards motivated reasoning may be the result of our education. We are taught to study information first and then we are tested on that same information afterwards with the goal of error reduction.
However, this may teach us to reflexively believe what is in front of us.
Getting it wrong, or specifically coming up with answers first and then comparing them with the correct information, can actually improve recall and learning.
It may also help us look more critically at facts served to us by search engines and news articles.
Holding onto doubt at the beginning staves off certainty at the end. –Click to Tweet
5. Change the Tools You Use to Find Answers
Finally, if you must Google, avoid the risk of finding the most popular facts or the ones most associated with your search history by changing the tools you use to search for information.
Instead of defaulting to Google's default search engine, test your theories and beliefs in Google Scholar. Google Scholar searches your terms against academic articles, which will force you to confront testable facts and wade through more information than you would normally to get to an answer.
This method is not foolproof. Science itself can be biased, and theorists are human too, which means they are biased in favor of what they believe. Still, by looking at contrary articles on the same topic, you can start to get a sense of what is true.

THERMO Wood Decking is a beautiful wood material produced using natural methods and can be used for interior and exterior applications. Above all, it is stable, resistant to decay and non-toxic. Only steam and heat are used during the manufacturing process. THERMO Wood is an eco-friendly natural product which is easy to machine and install. The THERMO Wood process respects the natural properties of wood. The production process is based on the gradual thermal modification of wood, where in the chemical and physical properties of the wood undergo permanent change.
THERMO Wood Decking is a modified timber and has achieved a durability class rating of 2 according to BS EN 350-2 which allows for a long service life (20 years plus for THERMO Wood Decking) without the requirement for any further treatment. The timber will turn a silver grey colour if left to weather naturally.
Our THERMO Wood Decking has being modified using Finnish grown red wood with a density of 510kg/m3. After the modification process the timber is slightly lighter in weight.
Our THERMO Wood is sourced from well managed forests and is legally verified.
The timber does not require any further treatment and can be left to weather to a natural silver grey colour. However, if the natural colour of the timber is to be maintained this can be achieved on site by using a UV protection deck oil such as those supplied by OSMO.
The heat modification process enhances the timbers stability meaning it will not twist or warp like unmodified timber.
THERMO Wood decking is easy to work with both hand or machine tools. The timber glues and finishes well.
We recommend to only use stainless steel decking screws for your project.
Thermal processing makes wood slightly more susceptible to splitting. For this reason we recommend using self-tapping screws with a coarse thread or pre-drilled holes before fixing. The screws should be stainless-steel and suitable for fastening wood.
N.B. Iron-based fasteners can stain and discolour the wood, especially in the presence of moisture.
To know more about our THERMO Wood Decking, please contact us.


Rules there is no proof that the GIL chairman had activated the convicted spy.
A panel of three High Court justices on Monday unanimously rejected a petition by Jonathan Pollard calling for the dismissal of Pensioners Minister Rafi Eitan, who was in charge of the intelligence unit that handled him when he spied for Israel in the early 1980s.
Footage shows Pollard stealing files "In their oral and written arguments, the petitioners made very harsh accusations about the way [Eitan] conducted himself in the Pollard affair," wrote Supreme Court President Dorit Beinisch. "These accusations were based upon press reports, a book that was published, and on many rumors and snatches of information that they collected from the media. The petitioners did not establish even a minimal amount of evidence to back their claims. These claims are based on alleged facts that have not received any official verification, and they involve matters that this court cannot investigate." Beinisch also rejected the argument of Pollard's wife, Esther, who told the court during a hearing last week that Eitan's appointment to the cabinet would block any chance there might have been that the US administration would pardon him. "This argument is not backed up by facts and, at any rate, involves the sphere of relations with the US," wrote Beinisch. "That is, it deals with relations with the US and therefore involves Israel's international affairs, a subject in which the court does not intervene." In the petition, which was submitted on April 30, Pollard's lawyer, Nitzana Darshan-Leitner, charged that Eitan had refused to hand over to the US a document listing all the material that Pollard had given his Israeli handlers. "Had Eitan handed over this document at any time during the past 21 years, the Americans would have closed the affair, knowing that Israel had returned all the material," wrote Darshan-Leitner. She also charged that Eitan had refused to allow Pollard to escape from the US after the FBI began investigating him. Instead, he allegedly lied to Pollard, telling him to stall for time so that the Israelis involved in the affair could return to Israel to avoid arrest. Eitan was in a charge of a spy unit called Lekem, which enlisted Pollard, who was then working for the US navy. Pollard provided information on the deployment of Arab military forces and other classified documents taken from US military intelligence. He was arrested by the FBI on November 21, 1985, and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Horror icon Danielle Harris to direct an all female slasher "SEQUEL". Joe Dante involved
Danielle Harris, a firm horror fan favourite is set to direct, what is being described as "an all female slasher" in the oddly titled SEQUEL.
Not much is known of the plot as of yet, but we are told that legendary film maker Joe Dante is involved with his production company Renfield Productions and the film is described as a "dark comic tale"
British writer James Moran whose deft writing skills have seen him work on Doctor Who and Touchwood has written the script and we have some quotes from both the producer Mark Alan and Harris herself.
First up, Alan who said:
"Our team knew immediately Moran was rewriting the rules. It's like he combined Charlie's Angels and Scream together to get this entirely fresh subgenre of female action slasher. It's hilarious and adrenalizing – a dragon only Danielle can tame"
While Harris, who surely knows this genre better than anyone was also happy to be involved in such a project.
"I knew as soon as I finished reading the first act that Sequel was the perfect fit for me. I could finally bring all of my experiences in the horror genre behind the camera and into these exceptionally written final girl characters. I've been on the hunt for a story that had strong female leads and was intelligent and darkly comedic. I just didn't want to do anything paranormal since we have enough real-life evil without having to go make shit up. If I'm going to spend the next two years of my life on a film, it has to be fun – and this story has it all. With Joe Dante and Mark Alan by my side, we're gonna kill it."
Sounds intriguing and we give you more news on SEQUEL as we get it!

Your business needs a Chief Trust Officer (CTrO). Here's why.
Rakshit Raviprakash
Over the last decade, the term digital transformation has gone from being hyper-cool to being overused, and with born-in-the-cloud businesses now taking the center stage, there will perhaps be no need for 'transformation' one day. That said, all of the transformation that has happened has clearly led to a massive increase in the amount of data being generated and used.
Being digital is great. It brings about agility, reliability, new revenue streams, better CX, more meaningful decisions, and a ton of other good things. However, it also brings with it the aspect of vulnerability and risk, the stakes for which are extremely high. In fact, here are some points for you to ponder over:
Over 1.7 MB data is generated per person per second, and 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created every single day. But, do we trust the integrity of this data?
Partnerships and ecosystems are expected to unlock $100 trillion of value for business over the next 10 years. But do we trust our partner ecosystem?
More than 50% of the global population is currently online. Do we trust all their identities?
Clearly, while the transformation to a digital world has opened up a barrage of new opportunities, there is one element that remains unaddressed (at least partially), and that is 'Digital Trust'. Businesses have realized the importance of Digital Trust, and have initiated numerous initiatives in pockets to address it, but it is not yet a mainstream trend to have an executive appointed as the Chief Trust Officer (CTrO), who is responsible for all things related to Digital Trust.
Now, if your organization already has a CTrO, then congrats, you're one of the forerunners! However, if you are not one of those organizations who has made a decision yet, here are 5 reasons why you should onboard a CTrO.
1. Digital Trust is beyond security (Just CISO is not enough!)
The common misconception is that Digital Trust == Security. However, in the digital world, there are so many variables at play that the concept of Digital Trust extends way beyond security, and goes into the realm of Privacy, Identity, Risk, Credibility, Predictability just to name a few. This means that the CISO of your organization is only responsible for one element of Digital Trust, leaving out numerous others unattended. Of course, some organizations have taken the route of naming Chief Identity Officers and Chief Privacy Officers, along with CISO, but given that those elements simply tie up to Digital Trust, it might be best to simply have a CTrO in place.
2. Trust initiatives will become mandatory
As more and more businesses begin to understand the importance of Digital Trust, there is an increasing amount of emphasis laid on Trust as a determining factor to do business. A recent survey by IDC showed that by 2025, two-thirds of the G2000 boards will ask for a formal trust initiative that executes a road map to increase an enterprise's security, privacy protections, and ethical execution. What this means is, if your business has to stay in the game, and even just pursue opportunities, you will need to have trust initiatives in place, and obviously someone to drive them.
3. Digital Trust will be the strategic differentiator
Competitive differentiation is extremely transient in the digital age. What is niche today, soon becomes commoditized, and businesses are in a constant search for that factor that keeps them ahead in the game. In such a scenario, Digital Trust will emerge to be the single-most-important factor to help organizations differentiate themselves. Hence, a key stakeholder that will be responsible for infusing Trust in the ecosystem.
4. The concept of Digital Trust has an evolving roadmap
Today, there are varied definitions of Digital Trust, with different scope and levels of coverage. It ranges from covering just security in its simplest form, to including multiple intangibles like transparency, credibility, reputation, etc. in some cases. What is important to note is that the fluidity of the concept of trust makes accountability and ownership difficult. The best way to craft a Digital Trust roadmap for your organization, and make sure you execute it – get a CTrO!
5. Trust is non-replenishable
They say it takes a lifetime to build trust, and a moment to break it, and forever to repair it. This statement holds good in the business context too. There are numerous instances of brands losing all credibility and reputation because of a single breach of trust, and in most cases, it is extremely hard to win the trust of customers back. In fact, a recent study by Edelman shows that 45 percent of consumers said that a brand would never be able to regain their trust after it displays unethical behavior or suffers a controversy, while 40 percent said they would stop buying from that brand altogether. All this only further cements the role of a CTrO as an extremely important one and makes it non-negotiable for organizations to have one.
So, how is your organization approaching Digital Trust? Is it one of the strategic priorities? Are there people specifically responsible for it? Is there a plan to get a Chief Trust Officer in place? Let me know your thoughts in the comments section below.
Meanwhile, if you're interested to read more about Digital Trust, you'll find some useful material here.

Now it's time to test out your prototype to see if it solves your problem. Your goal during testing is to gather feedback to improve your design. Listen to others who are testing your prototype and take notes of the things they say and do that you could improve upon. Gather data for how well your prototype solved your problem and use it to improve your design.
Check out this video from the Florida Hospital Innovation Lab to learn a bit more about testing.
Alpha Test: An alpha test is gathering feedback from observing and listening to other people interacting with your design. Feedback from alpha testing is mainly used to find problems with the design so you can make sure the design will work properly.
Beta Test: A beta test is gathering feedback from observing and listening to other people interacting with your design. Feedback from beta testing is mainly focused on how much people like your design.
Iteration: Iteration is using feedback to repeatedly improve upon a design.
Partner up and describe your the problem you are trying to solve. It is ideal to test your prototype on someone who might actually use it, if possible.
Then share your idea and prototype.
Let your partner(s) interact with your design.
Listen and observe them interacting with your design.
Encourage them to share at least one thing they like, one question they have and one thing to improve on and take notes in your Design Thinking Workbook.
Now that you've gathered feedback, improve your prototype.
Use the "Things they like" to highlight these features in your prototype.
Use the "Questions they have" to improve your design to make the answers to these questions apparent.
Use the "Things to improve" to improve your design to make it better solve your problem.
Take a picture of your prototype after it's first iteration and put it in your Design Thinking Workbook.
Partner up again and share the improvements you made based on their feedback.
Listen and observe them interacting with your new design.
Now that you've gathered feedback, use it again to improve your prototype.
Take a picture of your prototype after it's second iteration and put it in your Design Thinking Workbook.
Note that in the interest of time, we won't have you iterate again. In the real world though, designers iterate multiple times and with different people in order to create their best possible solution to the problem.
You have completed this Quest after completing the I Can Statement and steps above. After you've completed your second iteration and recorded it in your Design Thinking Workbook, it's time to consult your teacher. They may ask you some clarifying questions before you move on to Quest 6: Reflect & Share.


NOTENote that a morphing sequence can only be done on vector drawings. You cannot morph bitmap layers or Toon Boom bitmap drawings.
If you are using pencil lines, use Contour hints instead of Pencil hints. Use Pencil hint if you want the Pencil line to switch direction.
Similar shapes should have the same number of colour zones. This only applies to the number of zones and lines and not the number of points on a curve.

The designer at home in London. Like his designs, he is playful and irreverent.
Luke Edward Hall
The millennial artist incorporates history and a singular vision into his irresistible designs
"It's very romantic, a bit nostalgic, and very optimistic," says Luke Edward Hall of his design aesthetic. In just a few short years, Hall—an artist, interior designer, and interiors columnist for the Financial Times—has made a serious name for himself, creating stationery for Papier; loafers for Stubbs & Wootton; cushions for Liberty London; a wine label for Berry Bros. & Rudd; plates for Le Sirenuse hotel, in Positano; a biscuit for the Royal Academy.... The list goes on.
Hall earned a degree in men's-wear design from Central Saint Martins, in London, in 2012, and went on to intern at Dazed magazine while also working for a handful of well-known fashion and interior designers. He quickly fell in with a young, creative set, which included his now fiancé Duncan Campbell, co-founder of a London-based creative consultancy.

"American Idol" Thursday Ratings Slip More, with Fewer Viewers
■Television
by Roger Friedman - March 1, 2013 11:56 am
Thursday night's "American Idol" ratings fell from 3.9 to 3.8 from last Thursday. It's not a lot but it's worth noting that on Wednesday, "AI" had 13.3 million viewers, and the next night they were down to 12.47 million. Why aren't people coming back the second night? Do they need to tie Nicki Minaj to a treadmill heading toward a buzz saw? "AI" still takes the night by miles, but that doesn't matter. They're "Chasing Ice," to borrow a phrase from the award winning documentary. Time lapse photography may reveal the erosion. "AI" actually benefited last night from "Big Bang Theory" and "Two and a Half Men" being reruns. Otherwise, the "AI" number would have been lower.

IMO… it all comes down to the singer/performers chosen, and this group wasn't diverse enough to pick a couple of exciting rockers to balance the scales. The one guy I loved, was the big guy with all the hair, that BELTED out his powerful soul/rock. Remember, guys like Adam Lambert made people watch too because he as intriguingly different but talented… This group of judges chose too into the modern radio sounds and forgot about rock and heavy metal. It feels like a boring night out at a Vegas talent show when I watch this season… I'm NOT prejudice, but what is with all the black singers??? Yes they have voices, but they are NOT American "Idols", they are American Singers. So it's not the judges hurting the ratings, they are great, it's their choices b4 America got involved….

I have been watching american idol for 4 years now and this season's show is NOT exciting to watch. The contestants show singing talent but I have not found a favorite to watch and I usually have 1 or 2 picked by now. There's no entertainment except for Nicki and Randy. Why can't they bring in some real icons to judge like David Bowie, Paul Mccartney, Mick Jagger?

Michigan's economy has bounced all the way back. And then some.
After years of bad news, Michigan's gross domestic product is finally above pre-Great Recession levels. Jobs are plentiful, and unemployment remains at lows not seen since the beginning of 2000.
Since 2009, the state has the nation's seventh-fastest growing economy, and many of its 14 metropolitan regions are chugging along. Nationwide, the Grand Rapids and Midland metro areas had the 24th and 25th fastest growing economies since 2009 out of 382 metro regions.
And the six-county region of Metro Detroit, which accounts for more than half the state's economy, was 44th. That's a huge rebound after Michigan's so-called lost decade, when Detroit's economy fell 15 percent as the national GDP rose 15 percent.
The economy, and its challenges, will be the focus today (Thursday) of the Michigan Prosperity Summit hosted by The Center for Michigan and Bridge Magazine. The event is 12:30 to 5 p.m. at The General Motors Auditorium at the College of Creative Studies in Detroit.
"(Michigan's) done very well," said Paul Traub, an economist for the Detroit branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.
Despite the progress, the recovery is uneven, several regions (particularly the I-75 corridor and northern Michigan) lag, and growing the economy already is shaping up as a defining issue in this fall's gubernatorial campaign.
State grows faster than U.S.
Michigan's economy has climbed faster than the nation's since 2009. It was in a deeper hole than the rest of the nation, and the state has grown 6 percent overall since 2016 compared to 29 percent for the nation.
All candidates surveyed by Bridge Magazine said Michigan's economy still has plenty of room to improve, particularly as it relates to the growth of talent and well-paying jobs. Indeed, despite an unemployment rate that is at a nearly 20-year low, there are 400,000 fewer workers in the workforce than in 2000, when it was comprised of 5 million residents.
Rothwell ticked off positives for the state's business climate: radical changes to the state's tax structure (which greatly benefitted businesses) and a more efficient state government. But Rothwell and others say there are warning signs: lower median incomes, education attainment levels, and performance by K-12 students.
The state cannot continue its rebound without improving those areas, Rothwell said, and his group launched a plan recently to push for more investment to continue reshaping the state. Without more changes, and investment, the state could continue to fall behind the rest of the nation, as it has in the recoveries following the last two recessions.
Doug Rothwell, president and CEO of Business Leaders for Michigan, says the state's economy has improved dramatically but needs to do a better job nurturing talent.
"We've been losing some ground now for quite some time. We can't let that happen again. We've got to make this the last dip," Rothwell said.
How well is Michigan doing? Using federal data on metropolitan regions (which don't include areas such as northern Michigan or the Upper Peninsula), Bridge found that some in Michigan are among the fastest-growing of 50 Midwestern and industrial regions.
Those areas comprise the bulk of the overall state economy, but the pain of the Great Recession endures in Saginaw, Genesee and Bay counties. Each economy is smaller than it was in 2001 as manufacturing in the three counties fell nearly 20 percent, compared to a 13 percent increase statewide.
Compare that to the economy of the four counties of metro Grand Rapids: it's nearly 22 percent bigger than in 2001; Kalamazoo is 14 percent larger.
Experts say the reasons aren't complicated: Diverse economies do better than monolithic ones.
West Michigan relies almost as heavily on manufacturing as the I-75 corridor, but it isn't as reliant on automotive work. Its factories build everything from boots to aircraft components to furniture and it's a center for engineering and biopharmaceuticals.
Take Humphrey Products. The Kalamazoo-based company was founded in 1901, making components for gas streetlights.
But as it got its start, it did so amid the introduction of a huge competitor: Thomas Edison's lightbulb was set to make electric streetlights the nationwide standard – and turn gaslights into comparative dinosaurs.
That left Humphrey Products with a choice: Find new markets or die.
"Diversifying is how a company gets to 117 years old," said Dave Maurer, president of the family-owned private company. It employs about 200 workers in Kalamazoo and South Haven and makes pneumatic valves and other products.
The company has reshaped itself a couple of times in the wake of competition and it recently made changes again when imports threatened a portion of its business. With the help of the Great Lakes Trade Adjustment Center, a federally funded program at the University of Michigan, Humphrey Products identified new customers in the life sciences field.
The switch allowed the company to solidify its business and and maintain its workforce. It remains both a Michigan-based manufacturer – and one that has almost no ties to the auto industry. Should that industry stumble, it would have little effect on Humphrey, Maurer said.
"We are fairly bullish for the foreseeable future," he said.
That might be relatively easy for one company. But for an entire region or state?
The state lost anywhere from 800,000 to a million manufacturing jobs as the state economy began contracting in 2003 through 2009, long before the rest of the nation officially went into the Great Recession.
Michigan's economy has recovered after taking a steep dive and bottoming out in 2009..
Michigan's economy may be back. But one thing isn't: Paychecks.
"The Michigan economy is bigger than it's ever been. It may not feel like it, but it is," said Charles Ballard, an economist at Michigan State University.
That's because, for all the economic growth, the jobs that return often pay less than the ones they replaced. Michigan's household income of $52,492 now ranks ranks 34th in the nation, below the national average of $57,616. Michigan ranked 24th as recently as 2006.
The frontrunners for governor – Republican Bill Schuette and Democrat Gretchen Whitmer – agreed that stagnant wage growth is a significant concern and makes many feel left out of recovery.
"Too many people are working two or three jobs just to get by when what they need is one good job," Whitmer wrote in an email to Bridge.
"Michigan has made progress since bottoming out during the Lost Decade of Jennifer Granholm, but because how bad off we were," he wrote in a statement to Bridge.
And even though everyone from economists to Michigan gubernatorial candidates says the key to healthy economies is diversification, Michigan is even more reliant on manufacturing jobs than it was before the downturn.
Manufacturing comprises 19 percent of Michigan's economic output, compared to 11.8 percent nationwide.
Nationwide, the finance, insurance and real estate sector is the nation's largest single sector, comprising more than a fifth of the economy (in Michigan it's No. 2, at nearly 18 percent).
They're relatively close, in terms of size but nationally, that sector grew nearly 32 percent from 2001 to 2016, and just 8 percent in Michigan.
"In theory, you don't have to be diverse – if you plan for when you aren't going gangbusters," said David Brasington, an economist at the University of Cincinnati.
But how? Diversifying an economy isn't easy.
"I think diversity occurs by historical accident," Brasington said. Engineers may come for one industry, he said, and discover another process that spawns a new sector.
Thinking that city council or the state legislature can make moves to create a more diverse economy – building an office park, offering incentives -- might be fantasy. The state doled out millions in tax credits to attract the film industry. But it left town when the tax breaks went away.
And when times are good, no one seems to worry about economic diversity.
"When the auto industry is doing well, people take their eye off the ball," Traub said.
Dave Maurer, president of Humphrey Products, says the Kalamazoo family-owned business has survived 100 years because it has constantly diversified.
Now is one of those times, Traub and other economists warn.
Rothwell and the business leaders are pushing politicians in Lansing with a plan they say will inoculate the state from a downturn by investing more in K-12 education, higher education, job training, and mass transit that can boost the economy further.
"We didn't have money to invest eight years ago," Rothwell said.
What he and others don't want, however, is to turn away from one of the state's greatest strengths – the manufacturing might that helped birth the middle class and win a world war.
Part of the Business Leaders for Michigan "Plan for a Stronger Michigan" calls upon leveraging advanced manufacturing technology that has boosted productivity while reducing jobs and the manufacturing acumen that stretches from Monroe to Bay City to Grand Rapids and Muskegon.
States, including Michigan, have chased new technologies and industries before. Rothwell said the state should focus on those things it's already good at – autos, advanced manufacturing, tourism – and do them well.
Michigan might not be a center for battery development, nor the place where films get made, two industries that had gotten federal and state incentives in the past. But a battle in motor vehicle looms and the winners – and losers – will be profoundly affected.
"We need to diversity the economy," said Westland Mayor Bill Wild, who's running for the 13th congressional seat vacated by U.S. Rep. John Conyers Jr., "and we can't afford to lose the race for mobility."
Both engineers in Silicon Valley and Michigan are racing to develop autonomous vehicles. Which region "wins" could have a many-billion dollar impact on Michigan, far and away the leader in automotive and already home to research centers in Ann Arbor and at the former Willow Run auto facility, where the American Center for Mobility is based. Rothwell is on the board of directors.
As part of their prescription for helping the economy, Business Leaders for Michigan wants to expand the public-private partnerships that have helped fund the mobility center as well as Mcity, a city streetscape on the University of Michigan's north campus developed to test autonomous s.
Don Grimes, a UM economist who has long developed forecasts of the state's economy, couldn't agree more. Gov. Rick Snyder's 2011 tax reform package, which cut business taxes $1.6 billion and increased them on individuals, was a positive step, Grimes said.
"Going forward, the benefits of those (reforms would be) curtailed if we lose the race for autonomous vehicle technology or fail to attract more young educated people," Grimes said.
In an election year, when talk of change rarely includes talk of how to pay for those changes, finding solutions to a problem that currently doesn't exist – the economy is doing well – may be a hard sell. But if it's not addressed in good times, the bad times could return, many warn.
"We were flat on our backs seven or eight years ago," said Rothwell.
Ever the optimist, he hopes for progress.
Here's a look at how Michigan's regions compare with similar industrial areas in the Midwest and East Coast.
I would strongly advise Mr. Rothwell to reassess those "positive" policy changes for business.
When Lansing approves multiple giveaways (i.e. Gilbert & "Good Jobs" bills), and then goes for the brass ring with a very significant giveaway that throws in a non-disclosure agreement to hide the monetary specifics from Michigan Taxpayers, he won't like what that will portend at the ballot box.
Hint: you'll see candidates running who'll make Messrs. Thanedar & Cobb along with Dr. El-Sayed, look like Ben Shapiro, William F. Buckley, and Pat Buchannan. Think: California's elected officials on steroids.

Q: Swift: Resize/Scale UIBezierPath dynamically with parent view size I am using UIBezierPath and CAShapeLayer to draw a line and adding it inside a view as a sublayer. Everything works fine, Now I have to resize 'Line' with its parent view with strictly keeping the proportion same of line with the view.
Here is the code of creating a line:
let line = UIBezierPath.arrow(from: startPoint, to: endPoint, tailWidth: 5, headWidth: 20, headLength: CGFloat(inputLength * 0.1))
let shapeLayer = CAShapeLayer()
shapeLayer.path = line .cgPath
self.view.layer.addSublayer(shapeLayer)

A: I guess you can scale the view that holds the path, like
let scaleWidth = toSize.width / fromSize.width
let scaleHeight = toSize.height / fromSize.height
path.apply(CGAffineTransform(scaleX: scaleWidth, y: scaleHeight))

and use the scale factor to get a certain point of the path too

The team found that purchasing 100% North Carolina tomatoes in season reduces the restaurant group's cost by nearly half, accomplishes the goal of sourcing exclusively local tomatoes, and will likely reduce on-farm food loss.
Whole Crop Harvest (WCH) is bringing together partners from across the supply chain to reduce on-farm produce loss and increase farmer profitability.
NC Growing Together has partnered with the NC 10% Campaign and Vittles Films to produce videos about local foods.
In collaboration with early educators, CEFS' Farm to Early Care and Education (NC Farm to ECE) Initiative created a series of eye-catching posters for young children that portray farmers and the vegetables they grow for their community - specifically highlighting women farmers and farmers of color.
NC Growing Together is catalyzing ties between food and farm businesses, educators, Cooperative Extension staff, and Small Business Centers (SBC) across the state to build business support and education for a thriving local food economy.
This past year, UFOODS worked with UNC-P Executive Chef Glenn Reynolds and produce wholesale/distributor FreshPoint to increase local sourcing for campus dining. The result of this collaboration? UNC-P more than doubled their year-over-year percentage of local produce (defined as sourced within 250 miles) purchased through FreshPoint, from 3.35% to 8.9%.
The goal of the Whole Crop Harvest initiative is to discover ways to recover and utilize produce that would otherwise not leave the field or packing shed.

We take a look at the chemicals used in traditional deodorants and antiperspirants, and explain how natural deodorants prevent body odour.
On average we lose around 500ml - 1 litre of liquid a day through our skin, depending on occupation, weather, sports etc. Generally, this evaporates very quickly, and our skin and clothes don't appear to be damp. If we exert ourselves by exercising, then you are probably aware that you perspire more. Increased perspiration also happens through the release of adrenaline due to fear or worry, or when you are in an environment that is too warm for the body.
Interestingly, perspiration is almost odourless when it's fresh, but when it stays on the skin it develops the well-known sweaty odour that we can now control with deodorant or antiperspirant. This smell is created by bacteria that breed in the warm, moist and nutrient-rich conditions created by perspiration.
It is a common misconception that antiperspirants and deodorants are the same thing.
" The use of sweet smelling plants and herbs goes back thousands of years. "
In more recent times, those who could afford to carried with them a small, specially prepared bouquet of herbs and flowers called a 'nosegay'. The first commercial deodorant was launched in 1888.
Nowadays we can do more than simply masking a bad smell. We can use deodorants to remove the cause of the smell too.
With our increasing knowledge of microbiology and a greater understanding of how some smells are caused it was only a matter of time before scientists entered the battle against body odour.
Scientists figured out that the best approach would be to prevent these bacteria from breeding, thereby having a deodorising action. The first commercial deodorant was launched in 1888. Unfortunately, in the quest for ever stronger and more effective deodorants, stronger and more powerful chemicals started to be used.
Antiperspirants are based on ingredients such as aluminium chloride, aluminium chlorohydrate and aluminium zirconium trichlorohydrate. These aluminium ions form a temporary blockage in the sweat ducts, stopping the flow of sweat to the skin's surface.
Most antiperspirants contain ingredients which react with protein molecules present in perspiration and swell to form a gel-like substance. For these to be effective, their molecular size needs to be small enough to allow them to enter skin pores so that when they swell and turn to a gel, they effectively block the pores and prevent sweat from being secreted.
What's the alternative to chemical deodorants?
We use a naturally occurring mineral salt called Potassium alum in our natural and organic dedorants. Though it may sound like a chemical, this is in fact a very safe and natural substance.
Alunite is an abundant earth mineral and forms about 8% of the earth's crust, along with other forms of alum. It is also found in small quantities in many of the foods we eat, and is considered as very safe in personal care and other external uses.
Although Potassium alum does contain some aluminium, it is bonded into a molecule that is physically too large to penetrate the skin. That means that this ingredient remains on the surface of the skin and will not block pores nor cause skin irritation in the same way that the aluminium salts mentioned in connection with antiperspirants can.
Potassium alum acts as a coagulant on the skin, binding onto proteins and other nutrients and thereby reducing the ability of bacteria to reproduce. It is not such a powerful antibacterial as some synthetic substances, but when applied regularly to freshly washed skin it is remarkably effective.
Another interesting ingredient is Zinc ricinoleate. This is the zinc salt of Ricinoleic acid, extracted from the seeds of the castor oil plant. Zinc ricinoleate does not inhibit normal perspiration, and will not interfere with the natural flora of the skin.
Instead, it 'fixes' the odours produced by bacterial decomposition in sweat so that they cannot be released into the atmosphere and cause the characteristic sweaty smell.

Camera IconSteve Waugh thinks Australia coach Justin Langer (pic) is unlikely to walk away from the job. Credit: AAP
Langer unlikely to walk away: Steve Waugh
Scott BaileyAAP
Steve Waugh claims too much unfair spotlight has been put on Justin Langer, but is adamant his former teammate's willingness for a fight means he won't quit as Australia's coach.
Langer's future is a talking point again this week, despite Australia's Twenty20 World Cup triumph theoretically boosting his chances of a contract extension next year.
That has in part been propelled by Michael Clarke's suggestion that Langer - whose contact is up in mid-2022 - may walk away if Australia win the summer's home Ashes.
Australia's T20 success came after months of questions over Langer's future, including whether his coaching style had become too intense for players locked into biosecurity bubbles.
Langer has since spoken about adapting to take a more hands-off approach at times during the World Cup, while an enjoyable camp was also referenced heavily in the win.
But few know what makes Langer tick like Waugh, who played alongside him for a decade and worked alongside him as a coach in the 2019 Ashes.
"I talk to him regularly and he has never talked to me about stepping down or backing away from a challenge," Waugh said.
"His whole career he was up against it. He was always a player on the edge, the next one to be dropped and will he get into the side?
"In a lot of ways it motivates him.
"You see it again, when you think he is down he just comes back and succeeds (with the T20 World Cup win).
"That's just in his nature."
Langer has previously indicated he wants to coach a Test series win in India, with the next visit currently slated for the start of next summer.
Waugh believed Langer would have no issue with CA waiting until after the home summer to consider renewing his contract.
"He knows there are no free rides," Waugh said.
"But I think what he and Tim Paine and Aaron Finch have done since Cape Town has been a pretty amazing transformation.
"You can't forget what has happened to the side and what they have done."
In turn Waugh argued the pressure on Langer in recent months had been unfair, as the former captain launched his own 'Spirit of Cricket - India' photography exhibition in Sydney.
"I would like to think the players take responsibility for winning or losing, not the coach," Waugh said.
"There has been far too much emphasis on Justin Langer's performance and not the players.
"Realistically, India last season, they should have won that series comfortably.
"India were missing all their stars, we bowled them out for 36 in Adelaide and to lose from there.
"I don't think you can point the finger and say that is the coach's fault. I think the players have to step up and take more responsibility."

"GHANA IS NOT AN ISLAND!" GAAS President repeats…
By GAAS
"Arms are in circulation, people are already frustrated, there is antagonism between the political parties. If we don't take action now we may not be fortunate in 2020",
Senior Programmes Officer at the Centre for Democratic Development (CDD) Paul Nana K. Aborampa-Mensah warns the country when speaking on Vigilantism and Gangsterism on a Roundtable Panel Discussion at the Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences. He continues to warn that even though Ghana is not a gangster prone country it exhibits some elements that can breed gangsterism in the future. And also the lack of confidence in the police and justice system have given rise to Vigilantism.
Brigadier General Dr. Emmanuel Wekem Kotia of the Ghana Armed Forces stated, when discussing the Overview of the Current Security Challenges in the World, that; "Of about 200 countries in the world, there are over 20 civil conflicts on the way, these conflicts unfolding in states with limited capacity to respond to mitigate security consequences that emanate from internal violence.
He also identified ethnopolitical tension, rebel activities and armed resistance to authoritarian rule as some of the major sources of civil inter-state conflicts in the world.
Speaking on Threats from Insecurities in Neighbouring, Countries Col (Rtd) Festus Boaben Aboagye mentioned that, the country's insecurities emanate from structural vulnerabilities around weak border control systems, governance deficit, the weak criminal justice system in the rule of law bordering governance.
He also warned the country of uncontrolled security sector in Cote d'Ivoire: illegal refugees that compound the outflow of illegal weapons and ammunition. And the need for the protection of individual human rights.
Similarly, ACP Dr. Sayibu Gariba, in his remarks on issues of human trafficking, kidnapping, and armed robberies, emphasized the adverse effect of these acts of insecurities and their potential damage on the population.
Referencing from the Arms and Ammunition Legislation, Dr. Festus Aubyn stated that it is as a result of weak regulatory systems that Ghana is unable to deal with the problem of Small Arms Proliferation. And then alluded to the inadequate institutional funding and equipment for agencies that are mandated to deal with small arms.
Mr Paul Ntim Yeboah also said that the $105 million Ghana lost to cybercrime and cyberfraud, contributing to about 60% of the crime statistics according to the CID report, could have prevented if victims had been more cautious and vigilant in how they share their personal information.
Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Asante advises the public to be cautious of fake news as fabricated stories that may be true but irrelevant or false with an intent to polarize and pollute minds. He mentioned that political parties use this strategy through social media to get political benefits. And he also added that, we should be aware of media houses that exaggerate stories to attract people to maximize revenue.

Telegraph Hill
LEED Project
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) developed the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for New Construction and Home rating systems to promote the construction of cost-efficient and energy-saving green buildings. A LEED rating is based on the total number of points a project earns in various compliance categories that include Sustainable Site, Water Efficiency, Energy & Atmosphere, Material & Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality and Innovation & Design Process.
Our project on Telegraph Hill is designed to achieve LEED Silver certification and will employ sustainable design measures. These measures include the following features in compliance with USGBC LEED:
Durkin Incorporated is the proud builder of these sustainable LEED condominiums located on Telegraph Hill. Durkin Incorporated is excited to announce we are striving to reach the Gold certification level for LEED.
These condominiums are within walking distance of multiple basic resources like churches, grocery stores, schools, and restaurants. This means less driving and reduced driving means fewer carbon emissions that are damaging to the environment. Walking also has additional health benefits.
Water Saving Landscaping
Our project includes a water cistern which has been installed with the intention of being used to capture and reuse all water onsite. This water will be reusing to irrigate both the green roofs and the shared landscape area.
Water Saving Bath Fixtures
We have installed water saving bath fixtures in all bathrooms. By installing these fixtures, we have insured that less water will be used each time the bathroom is used.
Occupancy Sensor / Continuous Operating Fan
Each bathroom also comes equipped with an Energy Star bathroom fan set to continuously run. These fans help to bring in fresh air and will keep mold away. In addition, the shared garage also features a continuously running fan to keep fresh air circulating in that space.
High Efficiency Lighting
Lighting fixtures with high efficiency were installed throughout the project. This helps to cut down on how much electricity is used.
Energy Star Appliances
We installed Energy Star appliances throughout the condominiums: Energy Star Refrigerators, Energy Star Dishwashers and Energy Star Clothes Washers. These appliances are designed to use less electricity, gas and water.
Many materials that are normally used in construction contain toxic chemicals. Our Telegraph Hill project used Low VOC paints and adhesives on all walls, trims and moldings. Additionally, we used roofing
materials which are also Low VOC. These products contain significantly less toxins than other paints, adhesives and roofing materials. Fewer toxins result in cleaner air quality in the units and healthier living.
Other Special LEED Features
Each condominium at our Telegraph Hill project has its own individual Green Roof. These green roofs are planted with a variety of non-invasive, drought tolerant plants which provide an aesthetically pleasing green space within the urban confides of San Francisco. Moreover, green roofs not only are appealing visually but offer multiple benefits including reducing temperatures on the roof which in turn reduce HVAC loads, resulting in energy cost savings. Green Roofs also serve to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by adding plants to the urban landscape; this increases photosynthesis, reducing carbon dioxide levels produced by vehicles, industrial facilities, and mechanical systems. It also increases oxygen production. Not only do Green Roofs reduce air pollution but they also serve to improve the soundproofing of a building and reduce sound reflection by increasing absorption. Lastly, green roofs also provide a refuge for birds and insects that have lost their natural habitat due to urban development and the loss of green space.

Cybernetic warriors made of ductwork and aluminum feign friendship while in the wandering gaze of interstate drivers.
I-75 southbound at milepost 55.3, just south of the Stanley Ave exit. Only visible southbound.
The robots are at milepost 55.3 and can be seen going either direction, but heading southbound is the best opportunity for photography since there is a wide shoulder along the interstate with plenty of room to pull over. You are almost at roof level with them at this location.
There is no illumination at night, so morning is the best time for photography since they are facing east.
