VLEAD team at IIIT Hyderabad
LEADing from behind: The march towards digital scientific education spearheaded at IIIT-H
Hyderababad, July 18 2018: The International Instituteof Information Technology , Hyderabad (IIIT-H) is one of 12 technological institutes across India, that i are part of the virtual labs initiative of Ministry of Human Resource Development and is , leading the engineering behind this project.
The Virtual Labs project was formally launched in 2012, as part of MHRD's National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), to provide easily accessible and high quality education throughout the nation. The objective of this project is to provide a complete learning solution that includes web-resources, video lectures, animated demos and self-evaluation, to undergraduate, postgraduate university students as well as researchers. It is hoped to sufficiently pique the interest and curiosity of high school students too towards a scientific higher education. Besides making quality resources accessible, the idea is to have researchers collaborate and share expensive equipment and teaching resources.
Virtual Labs at IIIT-H
The Virtual Labs project is being developed and maintained in partnership with the IITs of India and other institutes such as IIIT-H, Amrita Vishwa VidyaPeetham, College of Engineering, Pune, Dayalbagh Institute, and NIT Suratkal. There are over 114 labs spread over 11 domains from Mechanical Engineering and Material Sciences to Aerospace Engineering and Physical Sciences. Why, it even has labs on Virtual Anthropology and Virtual English and Communication under Humanities! The participating institutes build a set of experiments related to a theme or a topic which are then grouped as a lab. In keeping with IIIT-H's core focus on Computer Science and Electronics, the labs developed by this institute are mainly related to Problem Solving, Data Structures, VLSI, Language Processing, Pattern Recognition, Artificial Neural Networks, among others.
With All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) also mandating the use of virtual labs in technical education, digitized experimentation has got a shot in its arm. In situations where it is physically impossible to recreate real-life scenarios, virtual labs come in handy.
"While in the case of Computer Science, there may not be much of a difference between an experiment online and the actual working in real-time, in non-Computer Science fields, there are huge advantages in using virtual labs, " says Ravi Shankar, Program Manager of Virtual Labs and the Outreach Co-ordinator at IIIT-H.
VLEAD
The VLEAD, Virtual Labs Engineering and Architecture Division of IIIT Hyderabad, is one of the several teams working on the Virtual Labs project. VLEAD's mandate is to design and build the implementation framework for Virtual Labs, providing all kinds of infrastructure support and services to lab developers. The central engineering platform, for hosting over 825 experiments created by the partner institutes on the cloud, was developed by IIIT-H. It provides the server side architecture for ensuring that virtual labs run securely, can effectively serve thousands of students simultaneously, and reserve time slots for experiments that require scheduling. It also provides tools to help teachers monitor their students' progress and make changes to the instructional material.
Digital Classroom: A relatively new facility that IIIT-H as well as other institutes associated with Virtual Labs can use is the digital classroom. It is a fully sound-proofed room with a seating capacity of 20 that is used for recording and live streaming of lectures, training sessions and workshops. According to Ravi, demos that are traditionally given on-site in physical locations as part of Outreach can be recorded here and the link can be uploaded on the platform.
Transforming Challenges Into Opportunities
One of the biggest challenges for the virtual labs project has been the less than envisioned usage. Priya Raman, Programme Manager, says that it could mean many things. Either the branding or the outreach is not effective enough. Or bandwidth could be an issue, especially in tier-2 and tier-3 colleges, or the fact that alignment with syllabi is missing. She explains how the project has evolved through the phases so far, saying that in phase 1 when labs were being developed, there was no central platform for integrating all of them. Experiments were developed and hosted but there was no process followed. No source code. When the creators of the experiments left, typically PhD students, the code went with them. While there is no paucity of content itself, with the source of the content missing, Priya rues that it posed a huge challenge to change and improve upon the original material. That was when it was decided to have a central engineering platform for hosting all the experiments. They tried to first salvage whatever code they could and put it in an open source repository. "No content now is proprietory. Anybody can access it, anybody can contribute. In fact, it is this culture of open source that we are promoting," she says. They are moving towards making everyone contribute towards the project. And one of the ways is in the internship offerings. In Phase 3, the goal is to lighten the portal itself to make it faster and more efficient.
Outreach: Local colleges
All the experiments uploaded on the platform aim to either supplement or complement existing curricula. With the ultimate intent of every student using this technology, the project plans to penetrate to all the engineering colleges across the country via a network of nodal institutions or institutions interested in participating in the outreach programme. Each nodal institute is headed by a nodal coordinator. These co-ordinators are trained via workshops conducted in the partner institutes. The co-ordinators later conduct workshops in their own colleges and other institutes in close physical proximity to them. The obvious expectation in the coming years is to see marked increase in online usage. From trying to propagate its usage across institutes in India (or what is termed the "push" mode), Ravi says that they are noticing a visible shift towards the "pull" mode where institutes in tier-2 and tier-3 cities are evincing interest and requesting workshops to be conducted.|
Bugathon & Internships
One way of attempting to improve participation from these nodal centres is an incentive in the form of internships offered to students of these colleges. At the recently conducted Bugathon, 117 students across 8 colleges participated in a day-long immersive exercise of identifying and fixing bugs on the virtual labs platform. Around 1500+ bugs were identified across all categories. Before these bugs can be assigned for fixing, students are first taught about open source technologies (GitHub, JavaScript, Java, Python and others) and the software lifecycle process and other tools followed by VLEAD through a 3-day bootcamp. Following this, students get bugs assigned to them regularly which they can address from the comfort of their own homes. They typically come to the IIIT-H campus once a week to interact with the VLEAD team for clarifications or advice on tackling technical difficulties. Sarika, a 2nd year BTech student from Vasavi College of Engineering who is currently interning at VLEAD says, "The selection process for this internship was completely new for me and a different experience to have. Not only is it giving me a great exposure as to how it would be stepping outside our college and how the work would be, I'm enjoying the unique opportunity to contribute to the "World's largest virtual labs open repository".
It is not only the higher percentage of usages that the programme is targeting but the aim is to popularize the familiarity and feel of this mode of learning. A significant move away from the branching-out approach of the Outreach programme is the recent MoU signed with IEEE (the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), considered the "world's largest technical professional organization". The IEEE has reach into various colleges and institutes via affiliated student bodies. The student bodies work with it to conduct workshops and talks by experts in the related fields. IEEE in turn supports various projects and such workshops by funding them. With the help of their infrastructure, wide network and structure, IEEE can take this forward. "Outreach through nodal co-ordinators is one way, but this route assumes significance because it is a voluntary organization adopting it", says Ravi.
Similar to the outreach internship is the summer internship at VLEAD where interns are selected based on the number and weight of the bugs or enhancements logged by interested candidates. This is a residential programme open to engineering students across India, where not only do participating interns get a certificate but also walk away with surprise prizes and cash prizes for being the top contributors towards fixing issues. It is an amazing opportunity for students to collaborate and work together towards an accessible and inclusive scientific education, avers the VLEAD staff.

You didn't read that wrong. Ford announced today via their financial release that they would no longer pursue future investments in their sedan lines that currently include the Fusion, Taurus, and Fiesta.
Attached below is the entire statement for you to browse through. It does show that Ford recorded $42B in GAAP Revenue along with a .43 earnings per share.
Building a winning portfolio and focusing on products and markets where Ford can win. For example, by 2020, almost 90 percent of the Ford portfolio in North America will be trucks, utilities and commercial vehicles. Given declining consumer demand and product profitability, the company will not invest in next generations of traditional Ford sedans for North America. Over the next few years, the Ford car portfolio in North America will transition to two vehicles – the best-selling Mustang and the all-new Focus Active crossover coming out next year. The company is also exploring new "white space" vehicle silhouettes that combine the best attributes of cars and utilities, such as higher ride height, space and versatility.

The researchers found a possible cause of the Big Bang
As you know, our immense universe began 14.5 billion years ago in the Big Bang. Despite the fact that we already know a lot about how it appeared our universe, we still do not understand what caused this enormous power of the explosion. In order to try to answer this question, the researchers decided to analyze the mechanisms that could cause such an immensely powerful explosion that gave birth to everything, including us.
According to a new study, the emergence of the Universe could trigger a supernova explosion
What triggered the Big Bang?
What was the beginning of our Universe? Well, there are several different points of view regarding the origin of our universe. Some researchers believe that the Big Bang could be the result of a series of smaller explosions, while opponents of this theory argue that before him there is literally nothing; still others argue that before the birth of our Universe existed at least two Universes colliding with each other and having liberated as a result of the collision a large amount of energy, which gave rise to our universe. When in July 1965, scientists announced the discovery of the so-called cosmic microwave background radiation, the discovery was truly sensational, giving rise to the development of cosmology and the theory of the birth of the Universe with its further expansion and cooling.
The researchers were able to find some critical criteria that could make the primary flame to generate their own turbulence, and then spontaneously accelerate and smoothly transition into a detonation. Karim Ahmed, associate Professor of the Department of mechanics and aerospace engineering of South Florida University, believes that the birth of our Universe was similar to a supernova explosion with the only difference that the dimension of these cosmic events are immeasurably different.
When in the process of dying parent star gradually burns out, in the final stage of its space death, it explodes, leaving behind only a shell consisting of a mixture of various gases and substances. A similar process,much smaller, able to hold the team Karim Ahmed in the laboratory. The key to the success of the experience was the use of a combination of turbulence and passive flame burning. Powerful explosion that occurred at the end of the process could be similar to the Big Bang that spawned our Universe.
Could our universe be formed in the explosion of mega-supernova?
The researchers believe that their proposed mechanism of the Big Bang can help to better understand the age of the Universe. In addition, the experience might help to work more effectively hypersonic engines and modernized the production of electricity.

Many people are unfamiliar with Asahel. He was the youngest brother of the more famous Joab, David's army commander. Asahel only appears in one narrative, found in 2 Samuel 2. The story is about his vain pursuit of Abner, commander of Saul's army, during the civil war between David and the house of Saul, resulting in his premature death. Asahel's death is told in gruesome detail in 2 Samuel 2 and often leaves readers wondering why this story was related by the writer in the first place. The following post is an excerpt from chapter 20 of my book Family Portraits: Character Studies in 1 and 2 Samuel. In this chapter, I look at 3 men who shared several similarities: 1) they were all nephews of David and thus cousins; 2) they were all warriors; and 3) they all appear in limited roles in 2 Samuel. Although a first reading of Asahel's death may leave the reader puzzled, a more careful examination reveals some important truths for all of us. I hope you enjoy this excerpt and consider purchasing a copy of Family Portraits for yourself or a friend. (For another excerpt from Family Portraits click here to read about Peninnah).
In 2 Samuel 2:14-17, when an initial contest between 12 soldiers from Israel and Judah resulted in the death of all, a full-scale battle erupted resulting in a great victory for David's men, but at the expense of Asahel (painting by James J. Tissot, 1896-1902).
"Brave, impetuous, and ready to kill," are the words we used to describe Abishai's introduction in 1 Samuel. These same words are perhaps even truer of Asahel, proving him to be Abishai's brother and a genuine son of Zeruiah. Together with Joab, all three brothers appear in 2 Samuel 2:18 in the midst of a conflict between Israel and Judah. The conflict was precipitated by Abner, who had marched his troops to Gibeon where he was met by Joab and "the servants of David" (2 Samuel 2:12–13). When an initial competition, also proposed by Abner, failed to produce a victor, the confrontation erupted into a full-scale battle, with Abner's troops experiencing a sound defeat at the hands of David's men (2 Samuel 2:14–17).
The victory, however, was not without great cost to the men of Judah. In a flashback of the battle, the author follows Asahel as he pursues Abner. The outcome of this altercation not only results in the death of Asahel one of Judah's valiant warriors, it also sets the stage for a blood feud between Abner and the two remaining brothers (Joab and Abishai), culminating in the murder of Abner (2 Samuel 3:27, 30).
 Asahel was said to be "as fleet of foot as a wild gazelle" (2 Samuel 2:18).
Asahel is described as one who is "as fleet of foot as a wild gazelle" (2 Samuel 2:18). It is Asahel's running ability that provides the setting for the chase scene described in verses 19–23. However, Asahel's greatest asset will prove to be his greatest liability––a liability perhaps hinted at in his description as a "gazelle." While gazelles are fast and nimble, they are not known for their strength or predatory nature. Gazelles are not usually "pursuers" (v. 19): they use their speed to flee from danger, not to run towards it! What chance does a gazelle have if it pursues a battle-hardened warrior like Abner?
Furthermore, the word "gazelle" sounds a note of familiarity with a statement found in the previous chapter: "The beauty (gazelle) of Israel is slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!" (2 Samuel 1:19). The gazelle that David laments is probably Jonathan (see 2 Samuel 1:25) but could also include Saul. While Asahel's equation with Jonathan may seem complimentary, it has an ominous ring to it. The previous gazelle (Jonathan) had been slain and had fallen in battle; likewise, Asahel the gazelle will soon be slain and "fall" in battle (2 Samuel 2:23).
The chase begins in earnest in verse 19. Two expressions characterize the dogged determination of Asahel. The first expression, "he did not turn to the right hand or to the left (vv. 19, 21), is language frequently used in Deuteronomy–2 Kings in reference to not deviating from the path of the Lord (Deut. 5:32; 17:11, 20; 28:14; Josh. 1:7; 23:6; 2 Kings 22:2). The second term is ʾaḥarē, occurring seven times in verses 19–23 and variously translated as "after," "behind," or "back." It is also used frequently to express following "after" the Lord, or not following "after" other gods (Deut. 4:3; 6:14; 13:4; 1 Kings 14:8; 18:21; 2 Kings 23:3). Thus, Asahel's pursuit of Abner uses language that articulates the resolve Israel should have in following the Lord. While pursuing the Lord leads to life (Deut. 5:32–33), Asahel's single-minded pursuit of Abner ironically leads to his death (v. 23). An outline of 2 Samuel 2:19–23 demonstrates Asahel's determination as it alternates between his pursuit and Abner's warnings: Asahel pursues (v. 19); Abner turns and speaks (20–21d); Asahel continues his pursuit (21e); Abner speaks and cautions (22); Asahel continues (23a); Abner finally strikes (23b–d).
Still at some distance, Abner turns "behind him" to see Asahel hot on his trail (2 Samuel 2:20). Wishing to confirm the pursuer's identity Abner calls out, "Are you Asahel?" to which Asahel responds with one breathless word, "I." It is the only word he speaks in the entire narrative, highlighting his resolute focus on pursuing his prey. He is not interested in conversation; he is interested in catching Abner. As his name implies, Asahel is all about "doing" ("God has done," or "made") rather than talking. The doing, however, seems to have little to do with God and more to do with Asahel himself. Hence, Asahel's answer, "I," takes on a deeper significance.
Although the language is reminiscent of one pursuing God, the fact is that Asahel is in pursuit of his own glory. What could bring greater honor to a soldier than to kill the commander of the enemy's army? This quest not only makes Asahel mute, but also deaf to the sound advice Abner tries to dispense. Using language that parallels the narrator's, Abner says, "Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and lay hold on one of the young men and take his armor for yourself " (2 Samuel 2:21). This is Abner's way of telling Asahel to pick on someone his own size, or, in other words, to take on someone of his own skill level and not to tangle with a more experienced soldier like himself. Asahel is undeterred.
Next, Abner is more direct and makes Asahel aware of the deadly consequences he will face if he does not cease his pursuit: "Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could I face your brother Joab?" (2 Samuel 2:22). Abner interjects an emotional element into his plea ("your brother Joab"), hoping it will slow down the fleet-footed Asahel. The advice, threats, and emotional pleas are all to no avail, however, as the narrator reports, "He refused to turn aside" (2 Samuel 2:23a). It is the last decision he will ever make, and it is a deadly one.
Winding Up on the Wrong End of the Stick!
 When Asahel refuses to stop, Abner stops him with the back end of his spear (2 Samuel 2:23–painting by Johann Christoph Weigel, 1695).
Asahel is the first of four characters to be stabbed in the abdomen in 2 Samuel. The first and the last (Amasa) to experience this fate are of the house of David, while the middle two (Abner and Ish-bosheth) are of the house of Saul, forming a deadly chiasm within 2 Samuel. Later in this chapter we will notice that the wording of Amasa's death evokes images of Asahel's, adding irony to the gruesome inclusio formed by their demise.
The conclusion of the battle underscores an important difference between Asahel and his brother Joab. After Abner pleads with Joab to, "return from following after his brothers" (2 Samuel 2:26—my translation), verse 30 informs the reader, "Then Joab returned from following after Abner." The use of "after" reminds us of Asahel's pursuit of Abner, and highlights Joab's wisdom. Joab knows when to stop pursuing; he will wait for a more convenient opportunity. The contrast between the two brothers is stark. The body count for Judah says it all: nineteen men plus Asahel—the man who did not know when to quit. Asahel's pursuit leads to a tomb in Bethlehem, while the wiser Joab lives to fight another day (2 Samuel 2:32).
The Hebrew Scriptures frequently associate the act of listening with following the Lord. They are full of exhortations to listen, hear, heed, etc.; and the Scriptures record the consequences of those who do not (e.g., Exod. 15:26; Lev. 26:14–39; Judg. 2:17; 1 Sam. 15:22). Although Asahel's story is not directly about listening to the Lord, the formulaic language used in the story recalls the frequent exhortation in Scripture to follow the Lord. Asahel's wrong-headed pursuit took him down the enemy's path and far from the safety of his comrades. Likewise, our pursuit of our own selfish goals can take us down the wrong path and lead us far from the safety of God's people.
In one sense Asahel's real-life tragedy becomes an analogy and warning to the nation of Israel, who often stubbornly chose to follow their own way (2 Kings 17:13–14) and closed their ears to God's word and the way of wisdom (Isa. 6:10; Jer. 5:21). The same attitude is vividly portrayed in the New Testament, when members of the Sanhedrin refused to listen any longer to Stephen's words. Luke reports: "Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord" (Acts 7:57).
Of course the story of Asahel is not just a warning to Israel, but to anyone who stubbornly pursues their own agenda while ignoring the wisdom of God and others. The grisly account of his death demonstrates how vain the all-out pursuit of glory is. If Asahel had stopped to consider Abner's warnings, then he would not have been stopped by Abner's spear. The message is clear: a stubborn refusal to stop and listen to good advice may have deadly consequences.


If you have always wished you couldn't hear the traffic outside or one of those dogs that never seems to get tired of barking, you will like this article.
Did you know that soundproofing your windows can lead to a noise reduction level of up to 95%? That's correct. UP TO 95%! Soundproof windows can act as a sound barrier and reduce your noise problem to a level where you won't even notice it.
You don't even need to replace your soundproof windows. A soundproof window can be placed as a second window behind your existing one. The accessibility of this installation process saves you thousands of dollars trying to remodel your house to avoid outside noises.
Soundproof windows reduce insulation values by adding an extra barrier, thus further restricting the air flow. This gives you a lower cost in energy savings as less is required to keep the temperature level.
Window condensation is a hard problem to fix. Entire books have been written about it and how to prevent it. Amazingly, soundproof windows will reduce your condensation significantly and in some cases, even completely. Dual pane windows have a sealed air space between the glass like an insulated cup. This reduces condensation drastically.

Pension changes: now you can travel in the lap of luxury
See Easter Island on a 25-night near-circumnavigation by private jet
Chris Leadbeater, Travel writer
5 April 2015 • 12:00am

As of Monday, new rules regarding pensions will offer wider flexibility over retirement funds. Most intriguingly, perhaps, it will mean that over-55s will be able to withdraw a lump sum from their pot of gold, 25 per cent tax-free. This raises the prospect of being able to afford a holiday of extraordinary scope. So if the North Pole tempts you or South America is on your list, the following breaks may justify throwing caution to the trade winds.
Up to £1,000 per person
Eat "out" in style in London
Nothing says "British elegance" quite like a butler. Or a picnic. So Dukes St James, the esteemed London hotel that peers out over Green Park a short stroll from Buckingham Palace, will be a good place to splash out this summer. It offers picnics in the park, where, as well as the attentions of a private butler, guests can enjoy delicacies like mackerel and potato salad, lamb kofta with coriander, gourmet scotch eggs with mustard and honey and a range of red and white wines. These alfresco feasts costs £35 a head, for a minimum of two people. A two-night stay in May in a Junior Suite – a spacious hideout with bedroom and lounge – costs from £590 per person, including breakfast (£625 a head with a picnic).
Stay in a Junior Suite at Dukes St James, London
Up to £10,000 per person
Drive (very) fast cars in Dubai
The most flashy of the United Arab Emirates is where fantasies can be indulged, especially if they involve squealing tyres. Waldorf Astoria now offers "luxury driving experiences" at 12 of its properties, including the Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah, which allow fast movers to climb behind the wheels of marques like the Ferrari 458 Italia, the McLaren MP4-12C and the Porsche GT3. The next of these two-and-a-half-hour blasts around desert roads is set for October 30-November 1, under the gaze of ex-Formula One driver Eric van de Poele – costing £899 per couple. A seven-night stay in a sea-view Waldorf Astoria Suite (00971 4 818 2222; waldorfastoria3.hilton.com) around these dates costs £7,701 (£4,300 per person with driving experience, not including flights).

Ride a rail classic across Europe…
The prospect of a journey to Italy's fabled island city by train will always appeal and part of the pension pot could certainly be spent on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. Belmond (0845 077 2222; belmond.com) can organise a no-expense-spared version of this excursion with two days and one night in a suite en route from London then two nights at the Hotel Cipriani, cocooned in the vast Palladio Suite, with its lagoon-view balcony, marble bathrooms, private terrace and butler service. A departure on June 7 costs from £10,730 a head (two sharing), with business-class flights home, a private half-day tour of Venice and private use of a boat during your time in the city.

…or across the whole of Russia
If two days on the tracks seems too short, then the world's most alluring train adventure also awaits. Cox & Kings (020 7873 5000; coxandkings.co.uk) dispenses a range of trips on the Trans-Siberian Railway, the longest being 5,600 miles from Moscow to Vladivostok. It goes via Kazan with its Unesco-listed 16th-century Kremlin citadel, the Siberian capital Irkutsk and Lake Baikal, the planet's largest body of fresh water (by volume). Trundling east on the 15-day Golden Eagle train, with its heated floors, is a sumptuous affair, not least if you opt for a Gold suite at £12,895 per person during the bright nights of August, including all meals (but not international flights). Alternatively, push the budget to £21,195 a head and stay in Imperial class.

Go to the top of the world by helicopter
Russian expertise also plays a role in the extravaganza organised by Intrepid Travel (0808 250 7163; intrepidtravel.com). The "North Pole Express" is a five-day expedition that reaches the summit of the globe in real style. Participants take off from Longyearbyen, in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, on an Antonov AN-74 transporter plane, before two nights, at Barneo Ice Camp, a research station at 89°N that is rebuilt each year by Russian scientists. The crowning glory, however, is the chance to hop on to aa Mi-8 helicopter for that final-degree foray to Earth's pinnacle. Two jaunts are scheduled for 2016 (April 13-17 and 15-19), costing from £19,795 a head, not including flights to Spitsbergen.
Sample the best of Brazil and Argentina
South America, the world's most exotic continent, can entail plenty of hard miles and holiday endurance. But there is nothing tough about the "Flagship South America" break conjured by Scott Dunn (020 3432 6912; scottdunn.com). This 22-night travel banquet is a deluxe take on Argentina (the help of a personal shopper in Buenos Aires; a historic estancia in Cordoba) and Brazil (a private jet to Iguassu Falls; three nights in a Penthouse Suite at the iconic Copacabana Palace in Rio; helicopter flights above the city and on to Florianopolis beach resort). The top price of £27,890 per person (two sharing) includes international flights and most meals.
Valley Trunk is available for exclusive hire, it comes with a chef, butlers, a yoga instructor and spa therapists
Throw a private party in the British Virgin Islands
There can be few more alluring venues for a milestone celebration or just an escape than a quiet slice of Caribbean shore. Which is precisely the definition of Valley Trunk (valleytrunk.com), a private estate on the south-west coast of Virgin Gorda, the third largest of the British Virgin Islands. Available for exclusive hire, it comes with a chef, butlers, a yoga instructor and spa therapists and has nine suites, which sleep up to 24, set in 19 acres of tropical gardens. It can be rented for £7,115 a night for up to six guests. It would cost £34,930 a head for a couple to share a decadent fortnight in the sun, or £48,790 in total to throw a two-night party for the full quota. The Xanadu, a 68ft yacht, is part of the deal. International flights – connecting in Antigua is best – are not included.
Up to £100,000 per person
Catch a private jet around (most of) the world
Of course, if money is no object, there is no need to limit yourself to just one section of the globe. Abercrombie & Kent (01242 855 876; abercrombiekent.co.uk) offers "Islands, Savannas & the Amazon", a splendidly extravagant 25-night near-circumnavigation by private jet. The next edition will leave Miami on October 12, arching south into the Peruvian Amazon, then leaping on to Chile's Easter Island. Samoa, Papua New Guinea and Bali follow as the Pacific is crossed, before further pauses in Sri Lanka, Madagascar and Kenya (for time on safari), with the party concluding in Monaco on November 6. The tour is limited to 50 people, with prices starting at £70,600 per person (with two sharing), including food and accommodation, but not flights to and from the start and end points.
Cunard's Queen Victoria. Photo: AP
Over £100,000 per person
Take in the complete picture by ocean wave
If whizzing about Earth in less than a month seems awfully hasty, the more considered alternative is the round-the-world voyage that Cunard (0843 374 2224; cunard.co.uk) has set to leave Southampton on January 10, 2016. This epic 120-night endeavour will see the Queen Victoria sail west to Florida, Aruba and Colombia, before passing through the Panama Canal for dates with Guatemala, California and Hawaii. Other ports of call are in New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Vietnam, China, Sri Lanka, the Seychelles, South Africa, St Helena and Cape Verde ahead of a return to Southampton on May 10. For those with cash to burn, it is still possible to book the top accommodation option of the Grand Suite, from £117,149 per person (for two sharing). This enormous retreat has its own butler.

HomeCommuteYeshwanthpur roads could become jam-free, people-friendly. Here's how.
Yeshwanthpur roads could become jam-free, people-friendly. Here's how.
November 20, 2014 Amith Subramanian Pallavoor
'Think Yeshwanthpur, Think connectivity,' stated a news report in The Hindu, a few years ago. The once distant suburb of Yeshwanthpur now has a Tertiary Traffic Management Centre (TTMC), Metro connectivity and South Western Railways' (SWR) second coaching terminal. But is all hunky dory as far as connectivity and transport issues at Yeshwanthpur are concerned?
While the traffic comes to a grinding halt under the flyover after Mysore Lamps near Yeshwanthpur, the flyover has little traffic, even during peak hours. Pic: Rajshekhar
Work on much-needed foot overbridge yet to start
The Yeshwanthpur railway station is a mere 200 metres away from the Metro railway station. However, moving between the two is difficult, owing to the absence of a foot overbridge; and for those commuters with luggage, even more so.
The entrance to the Metro station, located just as one exits the railway station, is closed at all times. There is also a complete absence of signboards, which could otherwise direct passengers.
The overbridge which could connect the two stations continues to exist only on paper. Though nine months have passed since commercial operations were started on Reach 3 and Reach 3A, it is only now that BMRCL has announced that they are likely to start work on the overbridge.
Once the overbridge is functional, it can save considerable time for passengers who alight from Yeshwanthpur and then would want to take the Metro services to reach Rajajinagar, Malleshwaram or Peenya. It can also prevent unnecessary congestion at the main entrance of Yeshwanthpur railway station.

Railways promises help; BMTC yet to grab the chance
Passengers getting down at the TTMC bus stop too find it difficult to get to both the railway station and the Metro station. The TTMC is a good 700 to 800 metres away from the Metro station and railway station.
Automated ticket counters
On the issue of crowding at ticketing counters, Anup Dayanand Sadhu says, "We plan to address the issue of congestion at ticket counters through automated ticketing machines. A total of 16 machines have been ordered for both City and Yeshwanthpur stations, and the locations for installation of these machines have been identified as well."
Anup Dayanand Sadhu, Senior Divisional Commercial Manager of South Western Railways (SWR) said that BMTC is yet to approach SWR on this issue. He added that SWR would extend support in addressing connectivity issues between the TTMC and the railway station, if BMTC approached them.
Dedicated buses to the railway station, along the lines of the service to the City railway station in Majestic, could help the commuters greatly. Indian commuters typically manage to find a shortcut to get anywhere and it is the same to get the railway station as well. This creates additional security issues at the stations and can be avoided with a little coordination between the transport organisations.
The Metro station at Sandal Soap factory is a mere 200 metres away from the TTMC. However, passengers find it difficult to make their way to the station because of the high volume of traffic on the road. The short distance also means that it does not make economic sense for the passengers to board an auto or bus, to get to the station.
Issues at Yeshwanthpur Railway Station
The railway station at Yeshwanthpur has emerged as major junction and a coaching terminal for SWR. The railway station sees a footfall of one lakh passengers daily and has a total of six platforms. Every day, a total of 82 trains (41 pairs) either pass through or originate from this station.
For a station of this size, the premises are relatively clean and there are proper drinking water facilities available, especially compared to the City and Cantonment railway stations. It also has battery-operated cars for the elderly, and ramps for the physically-challenged.
However, there are a host of other issues that need to be addressed. There are far too many unofficial exits and entrances. There are no metal detectors at the entrance. While there are CCTV cameras on all the platforms, luggage scanners are absent. There are very few policemen on duty as well. All of this could lead to security concerns.
Saurabh Bhattacharya, a management consultant and a resident of Kengeri, has some observations: "People loiter around the station premises freely. The ticket counters are also extremely crowded because of the lack of vending machines for platform tickets." He adds that security can be tightened through a slew of measures including adequate policing, and luggage and baggage scanners.
Sadhu says that there are plans of having integrated security facilities at both City Railway Station and Yeshwanthpur Junction. Baggage scanners and CCTV cameras are part of the plan. "We had kept the entrance on platform 6 side open to allow goods and parcels to be taken into the station. However, since this poses a security risk, we are planning to close it down," he adds.
There are a few issues with covered parking, which SWR plans to address by taking over disputed land, which is in front of the railway station.
Poor roads and lack of bus bays
The road, which houses the Yeshwanthpur Railway Station and Yeshwanthpur Metro Station, is characterised by potholes, lack of proper pavements and skywalks. Sadhu says that the roads in front of the City and Yeshwanthpur stations have little scope for expansion, and that the road in front of the platform 6 entrance at Yeshwanthpur is extremely narrow. The BBMP too does not seem to be keen on improving the state of roads in front of the stations.
The roads along the Metro rail network come under the BMRCL. Though it been nine months since work was completed on Reach 3 A and Reach 3, the roads are not in a good condition. The road in front of the metro station in particular, sees a lot of traffic as it is linked to a major National Highway. The poor state of the roads stands testimony to the apathy of the administration, and points to the lack of coordination between BBMP and BMRCL.
Though there are a number of signboards indicating the location of the bus stop, most of them are on the service road. Most buses however stop on the main road and add to the confusion. Buses should ideally stop on the service road, as it would ensure safety of the bus commuters and help avoid jams.
Flyovers and underpasses add to the mess
The endless construction of the CNR Road underpass added to the frustration of the motorists in the last few years. While the newly constructed underpass gives the impression of smooth flow of traffic, commuters typically get stuck on CV Raman Road.
Commuters say that the flyover is blocked in the direction of IISc, because of the presence of a signal near MS Ramaiah Road. Most motor vehicles take the illegal left turn to avoid the signal on MS Ramaiah Road. Buses coming from this road towards IISc also struggle to join the traffic coming in from the flyover. This is because of the traffic coming from Malleswaram towards the junction, which occupies both sides of the road. The buses going towards Tumkur Road and Rajajinagar block the free flow of traffic on the flyover, while the narrow railway overbridge adds to the mess.
The Pandit Deendayal flyover leads to the mess at Gymkhana Traffic Lights (the road leading to Mathikere), whilst the BMTC flyover leads to the mess at Yeshwanthpur junction. Those coming from the CNR Rao Junction side are sure to get stuck at Gymkhana Junction. The badly planned signals at both the junctions only add to the chaos.
Had the flyover been extended till the Gymkhana junction, perhaps the mess could have been avoided,. There is the option of widening the road and building an underpass to eliminate the signal. However, this is only possible by cutting through the tree-laden IISc campus.
Badly planned exits at Yeshwanthpur Industrial Metro Station
The Yeshwanthpur Industrial Estate Metro station has exits on both sides of the road unlike the Peenya and Peenya Industrial Metro stations. However, the exit leads customers to badly maintained pavements. Of the two exits on the left side of the road, one remains closed for reasons unknown.
The service road on the busy highway is poorly maintained. Most exits from the metro on this stretch stations lead to the service road, adding to the unpleasant experience of commuters.
The flyover at Yeshwanthpur has caused more problems than it has actually solved. On an average, it takes a minimum of 30 minutes to cross the two kilometre stretch. The flyover took two years to complete, but even after five years of completion, the situation seems to have only worsened.
The construction of the parallel flyover has added to the mess as well. The first of its kind in India, this flyover was constructed by BMTC to help motorists bypass the two-storied railway station. However, it has not facilitated the smooth flow of traffic.
Yeshwanthpur can become a multi-modal transport hub
Yeshwanthpur is no longer the low profile industrial suburb of yesteryear. The locality houses high rise apartments, five star hotels, malls, commercial office space and theatres, all of which exist cheek by jowl. The area has become a preferred location for buying homes since it is well-connected. The presence of a railway station, metro connectivity and the TTMC have only added to the appeal.
Work on commuter rail for Bangalore has also gathered momentum in the last year, because of pressure from citizens forums such as Tumakuru Prayanikara Vedike. New trains have been introduced to Yeshwanthpur, Nelamangala and Hosur; these either originate or pass through Yeshwanthpur.
The Yeshwanthpur railway station could also be used as a terminal for Commuter Rail to Tumkur, Hosur, Chikballapur and Dodballapur. The demand for CRS to Tumkur is likely to gain momentum in the future, because of the smart city project.
In light of all this, it is essential that the various transport and civic authorities come together to solve some of the teething issues which Yeshwanthpur faces. Attention to detail and vision on part of the authorities, could make Yeshwanthpur a truly multi-modal hub.

Building resilience in a crisis
Published: 14th APRIL 2020
Our Director of Urbanism, Daisy Narayanan, takes a look into the incredible resilience shown by people during the current Covid-19 pandemic. And it's the resilience of whole communities coming together that embodies the strength of a neighbourhood, a town, and a city.
We live in uncertain and unsettling times.
Just as the debate and discussion around the climate crisis started to crystallise into calls for clear action within this decade, we now find ourselves facing the unprecedented challenge of a global pandemic.
Most of us living in near lock-down are learning to accept and work within a 'new normal'.
Listening to often heartbreaking stories of people who are suffering from the impacts of Covid-19, I have struggled with conversations on the climate crisis and the design of liveable towns and cities.
I have, like many others, wondered if this really is the right time to be having these debates.
But can we really disassociate the public health crisis we face now from an ongoing environmental one?
This crisis further exacerbates social inequalities
Our towns and cities should provide healthier environments for everyone to live, work, rest and play.
But what the pandemic has highlighted to me is that in times of crisis, the inequalities inherent and ingrained in so much that we take for granted, come right to the fore.
The impact of Covid-19 - whether it is on people worrying about how to make ends meet, people with underlying health conditions or disabilities, people who haven't got the luxury to stop and reflect - are the greatest on the most vulnerable in society.
Just as the impacts we see from the climate crisis.
But what this crisis has also highlighted is that now, more than ever, it is the resilience shown by people, whole communities coming together that embody the strength of a neighbourhood, a town, a city.
For me, it is knowing that there are amazing people providing their support - food, medicine and good cheer - to my parents in India, that help to stem the rising panic when I think of their health and wellbeing.
Over the past couple of weeks, despite the social distancing, I have somehow got to know my neighbours better.
Shopping for each other, sharing stories, leaving notes and messages of comfort – I have come to realise that what is important in improving quality of life within our neighbourhoods seems to be similar to what becomes vital during global emergencies like the one we're living through now.
Creating resilient communities
I was reminded by my friend last week about the story of Christchurch's response to the devastating earthquake in 2011, and it has been on my mind a lot since then.
The city's then newly installed mayor, Lianne Dalziel, talked about ushering in a new era of governance that focused on empowering community organisations to do things for themselves.
"Building a resilient city starts at the grassroots, so that bottom-up meets top-down halfway," she wrote.
Policy on climate and urban planning needs to change post-Covid
So, maybe this is the right time to think about what kind of world we would like to see in the future.
One where through densification and mixing different land uses, we can meet most of our daily needs.
One where we can shop locally, walk or cycle to our schools, parks, health and community centres within 20 minutes with public transport prioritized for longer trips.
The 20-minute neighbourhood as an idea has been promoted by many in sustainable urban design.
It is also a core tenet of Sustrans and our thinking on how to make places better for people.
At the moment, many conversations with my six-year-old begin with, 'After the virus is over...'.
My nine-year son also wants to know if 'going back to normal' could mean being still being able to cycle on the roads like he is able to do now.
When we are ready to look to the future, we need to acknowledge that many parts of the 'normal' that we long for were broken.
We should be ready to have the collective conversation on how going back to status quo is impossible and we will experience a fundamental shift to a new world.
And I believe that it will be a kinder, gentler and fairer world which will help to build a more resilient one.
Policymakers, political leaders, professionals, businesses, communities coming together in a far more positive way to ensure a collaborative approach to our response in dealing with health and economic impacts of Covid-19 as well as the climate emergency.
There are tough times ahead and the only way that we can collectively get through these will be to hold on to what continues to give us strength right now.
A glimpse into a world with cleaner air, with birdsong, but most important of all, the human connections that are so vital and that keep us all moving forward.

Sustrans and Covid-19


Just switched my family of 5 to Center Dental. Everything about my visit was positive. Welcoming office and warm office staff. No wait. The hygienist was kind and thorough and took care to explain what she was doing. And Dr. Annicelle took the time to get to know me (and my teeth) and explain anything he thought needed attention. My husband and teenagers were happy with their visits, and found Dr. Pelaez to be very good and attentive as well.
Dr. Pelaez and Michelle are phenomenal! Going above and beyond is what they do every time I'm in the chair. No matter what your issue or challenge, they will do whatever it takes to make you comfortable. I have a terrible gag reflex and somehow they always find a way to help me get through any procedure, and always do it with a smile. (And Michelle has put up with me for almost twenty years, I don't know how!) Christine, who does my cleanings, is awesome too, as is the office staff -- Sheryl and Gen could not be nicer and more capable. They have my highest possible recommendation and make Center Dental the best dental office in CT. Trust me, it's not close!

Football and Brexit: How freedom of movement has affected England's chances of winning Euro 2016
The UK's EU referendum is taking place alongside the European Championships in France, with arguably many British citizens just as interested in the football as they are in the referendum result. Nauro F Campos writes on the lessons for the referendum campaign that can be taken from England's performances in major tournaments since they last won the World Cup in 1966.
Although England have performed well in Euro 2016 so far, the betting markets still put them some distance behind the favourites for the tournament, Spain, France and Germany. Why is there such a low probability of England winning Euro 2016? Of course there are many reasons but an important one has been downplayed so far: migration. Freedom of movement enhances team performance.
The English team is the only squad in the tournament that does not have a single individual playing abroad. In other words, England is the only team (out of 24) for which every single footballer currently plays for a domestic team. Each national squad has 23 players. England has all 23 playing at home, Russia comes second with 22, and Ukraine third (21). Italy comes fourth but it has two born and raised Brazilian players. Germany has 14 "home players", Spain (13), Portugal (8) and France (7.) The average is about 10.

Why does diversity (which in this case is driven by migration) matter for performance? Like football, globalisation generates winners and losers. Globalisation winners tend to be those that "have done their homework". Countries that developed domestic capabilities that can take full advantage of the mobility of capital, labour, goods and services are the likely winners. Mobility of labour has tangible as well as intangible benefits.
The tangible benefits of migration are significant and positive, albeit small. Typically, a 10% increase in migration leads to a per capita income gain of about 2% with most of it channelled through productivity (rather than investment or human capital). Another tangible benefit is that freedom of movement makes football more competitive: it reduces average goal difference between national teams. The share of national team players that play abroad has a positive impact on national team performance.
Why is migration good for football? Human capital spill-overs may be one reason. Players learn from other players. There is evidence showing that more linguistically diverse teams tend to do better in the Champions League. Another mechanism is that players are attracted to countries in which training facilities, equipment and nutrition are of higher quality.
The English football team and the intangible benefits of migration
If freedom of movement is so crucial for the performance of national teams, what explains England's disappointing performances in recent tournaments? After all, the Premier League is a commercial and sporting success. It supplies a huge number of players to all major teams in Euro 2016.
An important reason may be that the most substantial benefits from migration are intangible. Migration may generate benefits for international football when it is deep, that is, when it involves two-way flows. Foreign players benefit from playing in England but the reverse is not true: few top English players play abroad. One may think that with so many foreign players in the Premier League, those in the English national team do not need to play abroad: they can learn from home. Most available evidence, at least since 1966 when England last won a major tournament, seems to be to the contrary.
One example of such intangible benefits is that migration may matter because it allows exposure to different refereeing norms, traditions and standards. Football rules are the same everywhere, but their interpretation and enforcement differ slightly (and at the top level, these small differences count). In England refereeing standards are unique: in England "football is a contact sport" and the "tackle" is king. If you ask English fans about which they think is the most memorable moment in an international football game many will mention Bobby Moore's 1970 tackle on the greatest (by a mile) player ever as one of their top choices. Not a goal, a tackle.
Knowledge about how to play in different refereeing traditions is an important intangible benefit and may explain most of the benefits of freedom of movement to modern international football. When you have in your team players that have knowledge and experience of refereeing norms and practices of the four or five main European leagues, this becomes a very valuable repository of knowledge. This effect may be compounded in the European Championships because all referees officiate in Europe. This is a different case from that of the actually most important football tournament in the world where referees also come from Africa, Asia and the Americas.
This leads us finally to some lessons we can take from the beautiful game to the not-so-beautiful Brexit debate. It is clear the latter has been defined by two issues, migration and the economy. A large part of its poverty has been the inability to explain how these are not two independent and unrelated factors. Migration is good for (economic and sporting) performance. Yet the magnitude of these positive effects may depend both on context (the willingness, inclination and capability to enjoy potential benefits) and on our ability and willingness to measure, understand, and communicate clearly the relative importance of intangibles. Optimistically, we may still have everything to play for.

Johann Sebastian Bach – Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy
Oratorio in one part, in German, with Hungarian and English surtitles
2020. April 09., Thu, 19:30
2020. April 11., Sat, 19:30
The Saint Matthew Passion is Bach's greatest work, one which constitutes an unsurpassable pinnacle not only of Protestant church music, but in the universal history of music. Forgotten after Bach's death, the work was played in Berlin on 11 March 1829, a century after its original performance, with Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy conducting. The composer and conductor adapted the work to Romantic tastes in music performance, shortened it by a third, and employed an enormous (158-person) chorus and an orchestra scaled to match it. The resounding success resulted in a repeat performance on March 21, Bach's birthday, which became a significant social event: present were both the court and the crème de la crème of the contemporary German intelligentsia. This launched the Bach renaissance, and in a wider sense, the general practice of resurrecting earlier music.
The original publisher of the oratorio - Publisher: Bärenreiter Verlag / Urtext Edition - Bärenreiter Praha s.r.o.

"Yes: Jesus, passion, Bach and ballet – all in one place. (…) It is no exaggeration to state that the audience got the chance to be part of a true curiosity." (Rudolf Gusztin, Playliszt)

Violent protests prevented far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos from stepping foot on University of California, Berkeley, for a scheduled appearance in February. Months later, mainstream conservative Ben Shapiro also got the boot at Berkeley.
Was freedom of speech compromised? Chancellor Carol Christ thought so. In August, she released a statement explaining that both Shapiro and Yiannopoulos were invited to speak at the school again in September. "Berkeley, as you know, is the home of the Free Speech Movement, where students on the right and students on the left united to fight for the right to advocate political views on campus. Particularly now, it is critical that the Berkeley community come together once again to protect this right," she wrote.
Berkeley isn't exclusive to this type of conflict. Libertarian conservative scholar Charles Murray's speech at Vermont's Middlebury College in March was also met with aggressive demonstration. Conservatives are calling it liberal intolerance. Liberals are saying offensive views shouldn't have a platform. And the digital era is fueling the fire. The division between the two groups on campuses around the country may only get worse.
"We have tremendous open debates from all sides of issues. We do this with students and faculty. There's a lot of mythology about what's going on in universities," said the author of Golden Holocaust: Origins of the Cigarette Catastrophe and the Case for Abolition.
But the student body paints a different picture. A 2015 Harvard study found that 21 percent of Republican students nationwide said they didn't feel comfortable sharing their political opinion "without fear of censorship or negative repercussions" on campus. Only eight percent of Democrat students felt the same way.
This fear sometimes conflicts with class assignments. "There are students who I've heard from who said they are worried about representing their own ideas [on papers] because they feel they'll be downgraded if they disagree with the political philosophy or political leadings of their professors," said Eryk Dobrushkin, the vice president of campaigns and activism of the Harvard Republican Club.
Dobrushkin said some professors are very vocal about their political views even in classes that aren't based on politics. He recalled his history professor last semester criticizing President Trump and his policies. "I didn't necessarily agree or disagree with what he was saying, but it was a class completely unrelated to modern politics and he always felt the need to bring it up. It always made me uncomfortable," he said.
The majority of professors in higher education are in fact liberals. Samuel Abrams, a professor of politics at Sarah Lawrence, used research from the Higher Education Research Institute to determine that 60 percent of professors identified as liberals in 2014. In his 2016 New York Times editorial, he added that moderate professors trailed behind at 30 percent and conservatives at 10 percent. Compare this to 1989 when 40 percent of professors were liberal, 40 percent moderate and 20 percent conservative. In New England, especially, liberal professors outpace conservative ones at a rate of 28 to 1.
Dobrushkin feels the conflict has gotten worse since the 2016 election. He said students were once more open to debate and less likely to react aggressively. "Now that Trump is the banner man of the Republican Party it's really easy for people to vilify Republicans on campus," he said. "They look past any nuance in political opinion to paint all Republicans and their positions as racist and xenophobic." Dobrushkin also pointed out that the Harvard Republican Club publicly announced they did not support Trump after he was nominated.
But psychology tells us it's not so easy to accept opposing views. Confirmation bias says that people tend to value information that aligns with their views and ignore information that doesn't. A 1979 Stanford University study proved the existence of confirmation bias when researchers presented two fictional studies to 24 subjects in favor of capital punishment and 24 against. One study used information to support capital punishment while the other did the opposite. By the end, opinions remained unchanged. Those in support of capital punishment thought the study that aligned with their views was "more convincing" and vice versa.
In the decades since, the digital world has made it even easier for individuals to disregard the other side and become more passionate about their own opinions.
Ten years ago the dean of Stony Brook's School of Journalism, Howard Schneider, introduced a News Literacy course to teach students the difference between quality and faulty journalism. The course, which is now being taught in over a dozen other universities around the country and 10 overseas, piqued more interest in the midst of the 2016 elections where "fake news" became commonplace.
"The bottom line of the course is that in the digital era there's much more information to choose from which is a great thing. But at the same time it presents challenges to consumers of information that didn't exist or were not quite as obvious in the previous era," said Hornik, who is also the director of overseas partnership programs for the Center for News Literacy.
Liberals can optimize their newsfeed to only get news from MSNBC while conservatives can stick to Fox News. YouTube even queues up videos based on a user's recent searches. "If you keep watching them, you keep getting more and more extreme views and this is both on the left and the right," said Hornik. Today, consumers need to consciously seek out opposing news outlets to get diverse viewpoints.
The filter bubbles along with social media have also increased ignorance, said Robert Proctor. Proctor started agnotology (the study of culturally-induced ignorance) decades ago while researching the tobacco industry's mission to conceal the real facts about the dangers of smoking. Today we see this type of ignorance, he said, with the current administration's attitudes toward climate change. "There are more avenues for ignorance. Ignorance is more highly financed. It's more of a deliberate campaign," he said.
The issues with social media go even deeper. Susanne Cooperman, a neuropsychologist and psychoanalyst at NYU Langone Huntington Medical Group, said a scroll through social media can heighten anxiety with the graphic and terrifying footage on constant display. And today's political climate is raising people's anxiety. She said politics have entered her therapy room much more than ever before. The American Psychological Association's annual "Stress in America: Coping with Change" survey also found that 57 percent of Americans were stressed over today's political issues. Additionally, 42 percent of constant checkers of social media admitted to becoming stressed over the "political and cultural discussions" they saw.
Professors like Samuel Abrams are trying to combat this by giving students an equal opportunity to examine both sides. Each semester, he has his Sarah Lawrence students read books from both leftists and conservatives on any given subject. Those include Barbara Ehrenreich's Nickel and Dimed discussing how the 1996 welfare reform act impacted the working poor, and Charles Murray's conservative approach to class struggles in Coming Apart. He also challenges their thinking by presenting students with the pros and cons of social issues like increasing the minimum wage.
Milo Yiannopoulos speaks at the University of Pittsburgh. Protestors prevented him from speaking at Berkley in early 2017.
Abrams admits it's more difficult to engage students at bigger universities like NYU where he taught for a year. It's easier at smaller universities like Sarah Lawrence where office hours are part of the curriculum and professors are able to get to know their students on a more personal level.
Yet not every classroom offers the same opportunity. The Harvard Republican Club is hoping to work with the school's administration to bring more conservative professors on campus to help with what often feels like polarization in certain classes.

Are you sitting down for this? You should be. We have some news, and you're probably not going to like it.
Mikhail Varshavski, the 26-year-old doctor of osteopathic medicine who was crowned People's "Sexiest Doctor Alive" last year (and who's answered a few of your pressing health questions here on WomensHealthMag.com), is in a relationship. We'll give you a moment to let that sink in.
But then Pia posted a pic of herself and Mike on Twitter in late February with the caption, "Zombies after boxing," which naturally raised a few eyebrows.
Finally, Wonderwall dashed all of our hopes when they quoted Mike as saying, "I am dating Pia. It's a fairly new relationship but I'm really excited to see where it can go!"
We still weren't ready to believe it, so we reached out to the doctor himself. And he confirmed the news, saying that he and Pia have been dating for about a month. He had no other comment, but he did include a smiley face, indicating that he's feeling pretty damn good about his dating life these days.
Sigh. We'll let him get back to his job of, you know, saving people's lives.
Is Adam Levine REALLY the Sexiest Man Alive?


till midnight rang and the stars came down.
that we played at love in a room of green.
he's come to take my soul from me.
he's come to take my love from me.
O husband where's my lover gone?
then closed the door on that room so red.
