Less sale, More Tale. High-end jewelers like to focus on grading reports with shoppers, but sharing a diamond's story is a surer way to draw customers in. Here's everything you need to know about jewelry storytelling.
Paola De Luca's speech becomes impassioned when she talks about Alexandra Mor's new Tagua jewelry collection. That's because tagua seeds look similar to ivory and can be carved like it. And also because the typically diamond-devoted Mor enlists Bali craftsmen to sculpt pieces suitable for setting into precious metal. The result is a beautiful alternative to ivory in jewelry. It creates employment for artists in rural areas — especially those affected by the closure of factories illegally carving elephant tusks. It also appeals to a community of caring collectors happy to place their money in the hands of a like-minded individual.
"That is what the jewelry industry needs — stories that inspire emotions," says De Luca, founder of The Futurist luxury forecasting agency.
Diamond grading reports and other technical jewelry information play an important role in sales, but they are not the only facts a seller can share. Enthusiasm tends to wane when the customer hears too many scientific terms about sparkle and not enough about a stone's back story.
Stories about stones — like non-conflict diamonds mined in Canada, or rubies mined in Africa with proceeds that fund schools — coupled with truths about weight and treatments can inspire more compelling, sexier conversations. Robotically repeating memorized terms from a gemology book will more likely drive consumers to spend in industries like travel, which do a better job of romancing options.
Better connecting with consumers through stories and encouraging them to share their own is a great way to increase engagement and possibly sales. That's how Jackie Cohen came to found design company My Story Jewelry. Cohen had a custom necklace made to remind her of her adopted daughter, Julia, and when others inquired about it, she shared her journey to motherhood. These listeners — largely other women who often reciprocated with their own inspirational tales — multiplied until Cohen decided to make contemporary family-inspired styles her full-time job.
"Sharing my story with others created openness and honesty," says Cohen.
A look at how the big brands are using the diamond journey to capture customers' hearts and minds. Some of the industry's biggest players know that romancing a diamond's long journey to market can be a powerful aphrodisiac for in-store sales.
One way to tell a diamond's story is to reveal its transformation from a rough to a polished stone. Both Helzberg's My Diamond Story and Jared's Chosen options provide consumers with documentation showing the diamonds in rough form and their journeys from cutting to setting in engagement rings. Helzberg also allows purchasers to log into the Gemological Science International (GSI) website to verify stones' specifications, while Jared customers can view details about their Gemological Institute of America (GIA)-graded diamonds from the Chosen collection online.
Meanwhile, the GIA's Mine-to-Market program, or M2M — new this spring — allows retailers of all sizes to control the exact stories they want to tell, using a digital platform consumers can access with an app. Merchants can customize information to include GIA-provided proof of the match between rough and polished diamonds, as well as grading information, personalized text, video, and images of the design process for a finished piece.
Rio Tinto Diamonds is no stranger to storytelling, either, sharing its tales of diamond provenance and supply-chain integrity with both trade and consumer audiences. The mining giant uses social media, among other channels, to get its news out to markets worldwide. But it still envies the power of jewelers.
At Brilliant Earth, which has built its 12-year-old business on a foundation of ethical sourcing and traceable countries of origin, video stories from customers tell the most memorable tales. A recent one shared on social media was from a newly engaged couple with dogs. The fiancé proposed to his bride-to-be with a video of their two canines falling in love and getting married, presenting her with an engagement ring and popping the question in the closing credits.
Genuine stories like these, and telling them where customers naturally connect with family and friends, help to make brands more believable. For Brilliant Earth and its largely millennial client base, that place is online.
"Real images of proposals with real couples and authentic love stories convey the heart of a brand — not just what it says it can do," observes Kathryn Money, the company's vice president of strategy and merchandising.
Others who have taken to sharing engagement stories include jeweler members of the American Gem Society (AGS), which touts stringent ethics and education criteria. The move connects customers to the "emotions behind buying a ring," notes AGS CEO Katherine Bodoh.
Not surprisingly, Charles Stanley, president of Forevermark US, also sees great value in a good story. That's why his brand continues to create campaigns celebrating consumers' personal narratives. For holiday season 2017, shoppers can expect a new merchandise concept with ads highlighting ethically obtained Forevermark diamonds in the lives of the women who cherish them.
"The concept is a celebration of women through diamonds, acknowledging her as a unique and multifaceted individual and focusing on her story," he explains.
Stories of real-life couples give the bridal market a boost, and creative tech is making it easier to share the experience. When selling bridal jewelry, stories and clever technology may be the most important tools jewelers have. And as Brilliant Earth demonstrates, consumer anecdotes reinforce a brand to other shoppers.
"Stories go beyond the functionality of a product to create meaning and help customers grasp the value of the token they will wear for the rest of their lives," notes the company's Kathryn Money.
Severine Ferrari, publisher and editor-in-chief of online magazine Engagement 101, is another veteran in the arena of sharing real-life couples' stories. Her publication has posted user-recorded videos of engagements for the last 10 years, on both her website and social media, to reveal the emotion of those moments.
For this pre-marriage crowd, the technology aspect extends to researching designs and prices online. This is where many merchants fail: not providing ring prices, and not answering shoppers' questions quickly enough. Ferrari says readers are always reaching out to her for ring information they can't easily obtain from stores and brands. "It happens every day," she says.
Longtime innovator Chi Hunyh is a champion of jewelry technology. His Momento Diamond brand, which debuted in 2015, features engagement rings with tiny near-field communication (NFC) chips embedded in them, allowing purchasers to record messages, videos and images. These are then accessible via the Momento NFC App. Although sales were shelved shortly after introduction because Android was the only system to have NFC technology, that situation was rectified this summer when Apple added it to iOS. To celebrate, Hunyh put Momento back on the market with free NFC-embedded phone cases for iPhone 6 and 6S models; the 7 series phones already have NFC readers built in, though they can't write to a chip.
Other innovations include the Ring Cam — which launched in 2014 and allows consumers to record proposals through tiny cameras inside ring boxes — and the Holojem platform, which came out this spring and lets shoppers virtually try on custom pieces before purchase.
Jewelers Mutual created Holojem to help retailers reduce physical inventory and offer more engaging in-store experiences. The interactive program lets them bring possible designs to life in 3D, providing a wow factor that custom-loving millennials can digitally share.
So far, Holojem is a hit, according to Tina Olm, director of commercial lines underwriting for the company. One jeweler has already used it with a shopper who brought in just a vague idea for a desired design. The retailer pulled up a similar piece in the platform, made a few modifications, and closed the sale before the shopper left the store. The merchant was quick to share the victory with Olm, crediting "the ability to share his custom design through the Holojem platform as the main reason for the sale," she says.


Angular's ngResource makes a pretty decent starting point for developing a front-end model layer, but tends to be a little simplistic as your backend API gets more sophisticated.
One issue I ran into recently is that the $patch method sends the entire object in the request body. This is usually not what you want to do, because the PATCH method is designed for a partial resource modification, typically using something like JSON Merge Patch or JSON Patch as the request body.
Here's how to add a $patchFields method to your resource that creates a JSON Merge Patch for a set of fields, and then sends it to the backend.

The Mitchell Caverns, within the Mitchell Caverns Natural Preserve, are three solution limestone caves, only two of which are open to the public, located on the east side of the Providence Mountains at an elevation of , within the Providence Mountains State Recreation Area. The caverns are located in the Mojave Desert, in San Bernardino County, California.

Geology
The caves lie within a thick sequence of marine Permian limestone. They were formed before the Pleistocene epoch, when ground water with a high carbonic acid content ate into the surrounding sedimentary limestone. Stalactites, stalagmites, and other cave formations were formed from calcium carbonate left by dripping mineral water.

History
Numerous paleontological and archaeological finds have been made in and around the caverns. Scientists have found the remains of several prehistoric animals, including a Shasta ground sloth. The caverns were a special place for the Chemehuevi Indians, and a number of tools and material culture have been found. The Chemehuevi knew the caves as "the eyes of the mountain" due to their easily spotted dual entrances located on the side of the mountain.

The caverns are named after Jack and Ida Mitchell, who owned and operated the caves from 1934 to 1954 as a tourist attraction and rest stop for travelers on nearby U.S. Route 66. The Mitchells also held mining rights to the area and dug several prospect holes and tunnels, some of which are still visible.

The area became a state park in 1956. The surrounding lands became a part of the National Park Service Mojave National Preserve in 1994, but the caves are still owned and operated by the state of California.

Cavern tours
The "Tecopa" and "El Pakiva" caves are connected by a man-made tunnel and are open to guided tours led by California State Park rangers. These caves are the only limestone caves in the California State Park system.

According to a California tourism guide, "You enter the limestone caverns at an altitude of  about  above the desert floor. The higher view of the desert from the Visitor Center is magnificent…Not too spacious, these chambers contain strangely beautiful cave coral, stalactites, and stalagmites."

2011-2017 closure
In January 2011, due to California's budget crisis, all tours were suspended and the Providence Mountains State Recreation Area closed. Vandalism plagued the caverns' visitor center and installations after their closure.

Over a long period, major infrastructure upgrades took place. Mitchell Caverns and Providence Mountains SRA reopened, and the caverns resumed tours, on November 3, 2017, after being closed for nearly seven years.

Yesterday was Wednesday,"and on Wednesdays, we wear pink." Just kidding! Here, in Austin, it was time for another Blues on the Green. Most of the day I thought I was going to go there. Then I got one of those darn Facebook messages!
The message was from my friend Mariah. She was coming into town to go to the KOKE FM free concert series at Nutty Brown Cafe. My heart did a little jump for joy, cause Aaron Watson was playing that night! I love Aaron Watson shows! He always talks to his audience, telling stories about his wife and children. You get to hear his genuine love and care he has for his family, faith and music.
I've been skeptical about Texas Country show in Austin. It's definitely a different vibe than other places, like San Antonio, New Braunfels, and Gruene. Either I was in for a change of sensory! To Nutty Brown I went!
Got my whiskey on the rocks with a lime wedge and I was ready to relax and listen to some good tunes. Mariah and some of her friends met me there. Whew! That dust in the parking lot though…still coughing that up today. The crowd was a mix of college students, and older adults with their children.
Queue sunset and the music begins! My day was made when "July in Cheyenne" was played.
The fiddle player, was crazy! Playing behind his back, under his leg.
But wait…about mid-show Kevin Fowler come out!

Q: SQL Query to get value of recent order alongwith data from other tables I am writing an SQL query to get data from more than 3 tables, but for simplifying the question here I am using a similar scenario with 3 tables.
Table1 Customer (PK-CustomerID, Name)

CustomerID
Name

1
John

2
Tina

3
Sam

Table2 Sales (FK-Id, SalePrice)

ID
SalePrice

1
200.00

2
300.00

3
400.00

Table3 Order (PK-Id, FK-CustomerID, Date, Amount)

Id
CustomerID
Date
Amount

101
1
25-09-2021
30.0

102
1
27-09-2021
40.0

103
2
19-09-2021
60.0

In the output, Date and Amount should be the from most recent Order (latest Date), for a customer
My approach was
    Select c.CustomerID, c.Name, s.SalePrice, RecentOrder.Date, RecentOrder.Amount from
    Customer as c
    LEFT JOIN Sales s ON c.CustomerID = s.ID
    LEFT JOIN (SELECT top 1 o.Date, o.Amount, o.CustomerID
    FROM Order o, Customer c1 WHERE c1.CustomerID = o.CustomerID ORDER BY o.Date DESC)
    RecentOrder ON c.CustomerID = RecentOrder.CustomerID

Output I get
CustomerID, Name, SalePrice, Date, Amount

CustomerID
Name
SalePrice
Date
Amount

1
John
200.00
27-09-2021
40.0

2
Tina
300.00
null
null

3
Sam
400.00
null
null

The output I get includes the most recent order out of all the orders. But I want to get the recent order out of the orders made by that customer
Output Required
CustomerID, Name, SalePrice, Date, Amount

CustomerID
Name
SalePrice
Date
Amount

1
John
200.00
27-09-2021
40.0

2
Tina
300.00
19-09-2021
60.0

3
Sam
400.00
null
null

A: You need to pre-aggregate or identify the most recent order for each customer order, your query is selecting 1 row for all orders.
Try the following (untested!)
select c.CustomerID, c.Name, s.SalePrice, o.Date, o.Amount
from Customer c
left join Sales s on c.CustomerID = s.ID
outer apply (
    select top (1) date, amount
    from [order] o
    where o.CustomerId=c.CustomerId
    order by Id desc
)o

A: Instead of subquery in left join, you can check with outer apply.
Check following way
Select c.CustomerID, c.Name, s.SalePrice, RecentOrder.Date, RecentOrder.Amount
from Customer c
LEFT JOIN Sales s ON c.CustomerID = s.ID
OUTER APPLY (
SELECT top 1 o.Date, o.Amount, o.CustomerID
FROM [Order] o
WHERE o.CustomerID = c.CustomerID ORDER BY o.Date DESC) RecentOrder`

The Urban Flows Sensor Build Competition was an idea that originally came from our Chief Technical Officer Steve Jubb. We were keen to engage with people who had a passion for creating and making things; 9 months in and we're still buzzing from the excitement of setting up the project. Creativity is important in helping us to achieve our goal of sensing the city of Sheffield to pick up real time data from the environment around us. We decided to create a competition to encourage people from all backgrounds and levels of expertise to become involved in our sensor build project.
Sheffield is a talented city, with initiatives like Sheffield Digital, the iForge and various other technical and digital companies throughout the region. We were keen to get started on encouraging collaborative working to help tackle some key environmental problems.
What did the competition involve?
We were looking for people with a passion for making and creating things, whether that was at a novice or expert level, to build a prototype that could be physically located in Sheffield and have the capability to capture data about how energy and resources 'flow' through the city.
Each prototype had to include the necessary communications capabilities suitable to transmit data back to Urban Flows and have the potential to be scaled/commercialised. Up to £4,000 of equipment was up for grabs for the best applications, who would then be given 3 months to build their prototypes.
The first stage involved submitting an expression of interest form detailing exact plans and how much the sensor would cost to make. We received a fantastic response to the competition advert, which resulted in an impressive 13 applications!
After much deliberation, we narrowed it down to 9 finalists who were each given the equipment they required to make their prototype. This was to be ready to present at the competition event at the Sheffield ARUP office on 6th June.
Prizes included £500 in cash for the winners in each category. The advanced stream also had the chance to develop their prototype into a product, of which the winner would retain a major stake in the IP.
If you'd like to have a read about the individual sensors, the handout from the final event can be downloaded here.
The showcase event took place on 6th June at ARUP's Sheffield office, with the guests all eager to see the finished prototypes. The evening kicked off with a guest speaker keynote presentation from Rick Robinson, Digital Property and Cities Leader for ARUP, followed by the pitches from the novice group. After the excellent pitches we stopped for a short break for the all important pizza and beer!
Does it have the ability to capture data that can be used by the Urban Flows Observatory?
Does it have the ability to monitor the resource flows?
Does it include necessary communications capabilities to provide data to the Observatory?
Caption: Rick Robinson of ARUP delivering the keynote presentation.
Once all the finalists had pitched, it was time to choose the winners for each category.
Lu Bai won £500 for her idea which involved adding sensors to bikes to monitor flows in and out of the city. Unfortunately she had to leave to get her train back to Cambridge, so we didn't get any photos, but huge congratulations to Lu!
Yun Hang won £500 for his idea which delivers a holistic approach to air quality and weather monitoring by providing real time data on air pollutants, temperature, wind direction and speed, rainfall, humidity and air pressure. Yun won the popular vote too, in the form of a £250 Amazon gift voucher – well done!
Caption: Yun Hang and his winning Prototype, alongside all of the competition judges.
We were incredibly impressed by everyone's hard work and creativity; thank you to all who took the time to enter the competition. Thanks also go to our sponsors, Siemens, Sheffield Technology Parks, Autodesk and ARUP, who kindly lent us their office space for the final event, and of course for providing the pizza and beer!
We are in the process of planning next year's competition, keep your eyes peeled for more information coming soon.


Whether you want to honor a fallen or missing family member or friend for Memorial Day, Veterans Day or any other special day, visiting a memorial can be the perfect way to do so. While Olympia's Capitol Campus is most known for its plethora of memorials, Seattle, Tacoma and other cities in the Puget Sound region have memorials dedicated to almost every branch of service, every war the U.S. has fought over the past 100 years, and service members active and retired. Check the locations and lists below to find out which memorials are nearby.
The Capitol Campus in downtown Olympia has the best array of monuments and memorials anywhere in Western Washington. The memorials are popular Memorial Day and Veterans Day destinations, and the beauty of the campus during autumn when the leaves are turning can't be beat. You can easily make a day of a visit here by adding in a tour of the Capitol or walking around downtown Olympia.
Location: 416 Sid Snyder Avenue SW, Olympia (along Capitol Way S. between 11th Avenue SE and 16th Avenue SE.
Tacoma's War Memorial Park is right next to busy 6th Avenue and the Narrows Bridge, but is quiet and peaceful within the confines of the park. Situated in a 3.7-acre ravine, the park includes several memorials all in one place. As such, it's often the setting of Memorial Day and Veteran's Day gatherings and events.
Pioneer Park is home to a single Veterans Memorial, located right at the front of the park and visible from Meridian Avenue. There is often a veterans and active military gathering for Memorial Day or Veterans Day here.
While Lake View Cemetery is largely a cemetery, there is a unique monument located on the grounds. The Nisei War Memorial Monument honors Japanese American war veterans. Nisei is a Japanese term that refers to the children of Japanese immigrants who were born in the U.S. and had American citizenship, many of whom signed up to serve in World War II.
One of the most unique area memorials is in Des Moines, just south of Seattle. Rather than a memorial made of cement or stone, this memorial consists of American Elm trees planted in remembrance of soldiers who died in World War I. Originally just 25 trees were planted, but there are now more than 1,000.
Location: The path starts in downtown Des Moines at Marine View Drive.
Located within the urban Bellevue Downtown Park is a World War I memorial dedicated to Eastside WWI vets.
Originally the Seattle Firefighters Memorial honored firefighters who died in a large warehouse fire in Chinatown in 1995, but has since come to stand for more than 30 Seattle firefighters who have died in the line of duty during the history of the department.
Names of fallen Tacoma firefighters are on plaques on a brick wall behind a dynamic bronze statue of three firefighters in action. The location of the memorial is close to a retired fireboat as well.

What's Inclusion Got to Do With It?
A future of inclusive growth and full participation by everyone in society. This short phrase, or some variation, has been rolling around in my head over the past months. We've sought to articulate our aspirations and center our work around a compelling vision, while at the same time I've been searching for focus. What might it mean for me to 'go big' on inclusion in 2019 and beyond?
A starting point has been to ponder three critical questions: Why inclusion? What does inclusion mean, anyway? How might we best contribute to an inclusive society? What follows is a short summary of where we've landed in answering each, and an invitation to join our 'seeding inclusion' movement.
Taken alongside our other focus areas at Urban Matters – namely housing affordability and community health – inclusion fits at the intersection of improving economic determinants, and challenging perceptions about whose voice we listen to, and who feels empowered to speak/act. Social issues are easier to solve when communities have greater and more inclusive economic capacity. Almost every complex community/social issue – housing, opioid crisis, reconciliation – has an economic determinant. At the same time, social connections are increasingly recognized as foundational to a fulfilling life.
What does inclusion mean, anyway?
Understanding inclusion in the context of complex social and environmental challenges faced by our communities requires more than a standard definition. A popular definition compares inclusion to diversity: diversity is inviting someone to the dance, while inclusion is asking them to dance. A 6 Degrees-RBC Report titled: All of us: What we mean when we talk about inclusion defines the fundamental aspects of inclusion as "the idea of giving all citizens the chance to participate equally in economic, social, political, and cultural life." The report goes on to explain why defining inclusion is so difficult – in part because it depends on perceptions of fairness and equity, which vary depending on the person doing the seeing. Inclusion is about much more than literal rules (i.e. mandating equal access to services) and is more fundamentally about how we see our place in the world. Inclusion means sustaining conditions for flourishing an individuals' ability to imagine and achieve a good life in every area that is meaningful to that individual.
How might we best contribute to an inclusive society?
As I write these words, I'm conscious that the rhetoric behind the inclusion movement has rapidly outpaced real and sustained change. We seek to change this through deliberate efforts focused on economic inclusion that then create conditions for social belonging.
Employment opportunities for people with lived/living experience in homelessness and/or addiction: In Kelowna, we are working with partners on designing a social venture that takes care of training and mentoring people who have been left out of mainstream workforces because of homelessness or addictions and working with employers to create opportunity for meaningful work.
Venture UP: Our Venture UP process aims to translate government and corporate strategy into meaningful and sustainable ventures led by those who the strategy aims to help. Often, we consult people with lived experience, but we aren't yet working alongside these individuals to empower them as changemakers. Venture UP lets us imagine what might happen when we elevate the actions of people with lived experience through social enterprise approaches.
Canadians who experience vulnerable circumstances and consequently demonstrate lower workforce participation -people with disabilities, visible minorities, Indigenous people, and new immigrants –require meaningful employment as one critical building block to addressing issues of poverty in our communities. By 2030, workforce participation of these groups will be in line with the Canadian average.
We can't imagine a situation in which we achieve this goal alone – it is designed to reflect our complex system of multiple actors. It is going to take a combined effort across disciplines and sectors. We need your help and insight. Join our 'seeding inclusion' movement.

Q: Plotly: How to plot just month and day on x axis? (Ignore year) I am trying to plot timeseries data and would like the x axis to just be Month and Day. Plotly requires format to be yyyy-mm-dd, but I have daily averages from a data set over a few years, so I just want to plot mm-dd on the x axis. When I send a datetime that is just mm-dd it assumes the mm to be the year. Can I get it to bypass the year and only take mm-dd?
df_en_ave1.index = df_en_ave1.index.strftime('%m-%d') #convert my index to month and day datetime

trace1=go.Scatter(x=df_en_ave1.index, y=df_en_ave1.evap) #need to bypass year in date here somehow

Q: Google 'Big Table' like data in SQL? How to design DB? I need to create a database that, among other things, lets people choose 1 - N zip codes in the US.
Intuitively it seems best to make users a row and zip codes columns.
The problem I am having is that is like 42k columns. Which I am confident is outside most SQL DBs upper bound on columns.
I could have separate tables for each state. And then would have like 500-5K columns / table?
I mean that is doable, but the whole thing just seems a little ridiculous.
All thoughts, critiques, etc. are appreciated.
Also, any know the best place to get a list of zip codes (maybe broken down by state?)? Googling yielded some dated stuff. And so far I have USPS APIs for live verification. But I just need a static list.
Thanks everyone.

A: In any database -- including BigQuery -- your description suggests a table UserZips with one row per UserId and ZipCode.
Bigquery does not require such a structure.  It supports arrays within a row, so you can have an array of the zip codes that a user chooses.
It also supports records within a row, so you can  have an array of records.  Each record could have a zip code and other information.
In many databases, including BigQuery, you might find a JSON object to be the appropriate representation.
Nonetheless, what first comes to mind is a table with a column for the user and zip code.

A: A structure like this would allow you to add as many zip codes as needed and link as many zips as you needed to as many users as you have.

GPS Application in the Geological Mapping of Pasupugallu Gabbro Pluton, Eastern Ghats Belt, Andhra Pradesh, India

Global Positioning System (GPS) is a fast, accurate and cost-effective tool that became an integral part of any geological mapping. In the present study, we have used GPS for a precise and quicker geological & structural mapping of a gabbro pluton, emplaced along the Terrane Boundary Shear Zone (TBSZ) situated between the Eastern Ghats Belt and the East Dharwar craton, Andhra Pradesh, India. A hand-held GPS was employed during the mapping of Pasupugallu gabbro pluton to record the locations of several structural measurements, the extents of dolerite dykes within the pluton, and the pluton boundary. The real-time preliminary geological map, prepared from the GPS software, has been conveniently used for plotting the voluminous structural data and reduced a large amount of time and work. In addition, the application of remote sensing technique has greatly enhanced the existed data. The observed structural features of the pluton strongly suggest its syntectonic nature with the TBSZ kinematics.
Surveying has born out of the curiosity of the people to discover the unexposed lands on the Earth in pre-historic times. Basically, surveying aims at producing a map, a plan or an estimate of an area by recording the measurements such as lengths, directions, etc. of features on the Earth's surface. Geological surveying/mapping, one of its offshoots, is the systematic examination of any region for geological and economic information (Lahee, 1961). It is the backbone for any geologic, exploration and analytical activity and involves identification of landforms, rock types and structures; and the portrayal of these geologic units and structures on a map with their correct spatial relationship with one another. These maps are needed by a broad spectrum of clients for locating the groundwater, mineral, hazard prone areas, etc. It essentially comprises three components, viz., (a) examination and the interpretation of geological and other related features in the real world, (b) determination of the location of features observed, and (c) plotting of this information on a map.
Along with the expansion of known world through navigation, the field of surveying also witnessed several phases of development in its methodology, equipment and map quality. It started initially with simple sketches on terracotta, skin (Mishra & Ramesh, 1989) and reached the stage of using theodolite to aerial methods in the recent times. Surveyors, in the last century, were very much successful in producing a wide range of thematic maps such as toposheets, cadastral maps, etc. by using conventional pain-staking surveying procedures of triangulation and traversing (Fig.1a). The Brunton compass, attached with a clinometer is indispensable for any geological field operation. The other mapping methods are gridding with tape, plane table, prismatic compass surveys, hand level, barometer, etc. The compass and clinometer method, traditionally used in reconnaissance mapping, is employed for measuring dips, strikes and other geological parameters; and distances are often measured by pacing and compass traversing. The grid and tape method is very much useful for small areas, but not for regional surveys. The hand level is employed for differences of elevations within low-dipping strata, and the distance is measured by pacing or by stadia. The barometer method of field surveying involves the measurement of relative elevations and vertical distances. The plane table survey (Fig. 1b) is a possible precise method among these to measure horizontal and vertical distances; and maps will be plotted in the field itself. It consists of a plane table, telescope, plotting scale, map sheets, stadia rod and stadia tables and the determination of location can be done by radiation, intersection, and traversing.
However, these laborious methods of mapping and collecting geological data, and the hard copy cartography have made the geological mapping a slow, long and cumbersome process. There are several problems associated with the triangulation, such as fixation of permanent markers in the field, and the bearings at large distances, etc. Many of these instruments are not easily portable, and needs more manpower. Moreover, all these methods need to have lot of measurements within short intervals for better accuracy and the data should undergo several correction procedures. The accuracy by these methods is also ambiguous, since it depends on the type of equipment used, the nature of survey and the skills of the people engaged in the complete operation. Inaccurate representation and misorientation of geological datasets generated by these methods can lead to the misunderstanding of the geological process and wrong interpretations.
The era of Geospatial technologies in geological mapping
The complications associated with convention mapping techniques were greatly reduced with the advent of geospatial technologies like Global Positioning System (GPS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remotely Sensed systems (airborne and satellite-based multispectral and radar images) and digital surface systems like Ground-Penetrating Radar in surface and subsurface geological mapping. The introduction of GPS constituted by a constellation of 24 satellites established by U.S. Department of Defence in the 1970s is the onset of the technological revolution, which entered in almost all fields of human life, such as natural sciences, business, entertainment, environment, transportation, etc. The GPS is a space-based, highly accurate and all weather continuous navigation system that enable the user to access the position, elevation, velocity and time anywhere in the world (Thurston et al., 2003). The continuous upgradation and modification in the type of sensors and instrumentation have increased the efficiency of GPS functions, where it provides accurate positions at almost the touch of a button. As such, now-a-days, a hand-held GPS becomes an integral part of routine geological field surveying. It is light, portable, and allows the user to store the spatial (in terms of latitude, longitude and altitude) and aspatial (attributes located at the position). Thus the stored data tables and associated attributes can be constructed in a digital format using the GPS software 'Mapsource'. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is a collection of several interconnected programs designed for capturing, editing, transforming, retrieving and presenting the geographically referenced data. The vector data provided by the GPS can be imported to the GIS package to produce a geological or other thematic map. Another technique is the Remote Sensing, which is also widely in use as an additional tool of geological mapping. Apart from the facility of synoptic view than that of aerial photographs, the digital image data provides a high resolution, multi-scale, and multi-spectral readability in even inaccessible regions. It provides the real time data about the targets and detects all kinds of changes on the surface of the Earth. All these advances are fast, better and efficient to record, process, analyze and communicate the geological and other related data with a low cost.
Geologic significance of the study area
In the present study, we have made use of these state of the art techniques (GPS, GIS and Remote Sensing) for a precise and quicker geological and structural mapping of Pasupugallu layered gabbro pluton, Andhra Pradesh, India (Fig. 1c). The elliptical Pasupugallu pluton is one of several mafic, alkaline and granitic plutons emplaced along the Terrane Boundary Shear Zone (TBSZ) situated between the Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt (EGMB) and the East Dharwar craton (Fig. 2 inset). The site of this pluton is critical in the regional tectonic context, since the TBSZ is an easterly dipping thrust between the EGMB and the Dharwar craton, and represents an ancient cryptic suture with dismembered ophiolite occurrences. This zone consists of highly mylonitised amphibolites, migmatitic gneisses, metapelites and sporadic charnockites. The study of pluton can throw light on the genetic association between the emplacement of magma and TBSZ, and further understanding of the regional tectonics prevailing at the time of emplacement.

(Inset map showing the location of Pasupugallu pluton within the Terrane Boundary Shear Zone (TBSZ) at the western margin of the Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt (EGMB). Mapping the pluton with GPS
The Pasupugallu pluton (N 150 48'15" – E 790 48′) is an elliptical shaped mafic body measures 13×7 km in plan view, intruded into the Proterozoic high-grade gneisses and migmatised amphibolites of the boundary zone of the Eastern Ghats, Prakasam district, Andhra Pradesh (Nagaraju & Chetty, 2005). Gabbro is the dominant rock type along with a few lenses of anorthosite. The pluton was traversed by several dolerite, pegmatite, syenite dykes with sporadic isolated outcrops of olivine-pyroxenites. The pluton was mapped on 1:50,000 scale by on-foot survey and a hand-held GPS (Garmin eTrex Vista) was employed to get the accurate location of the observations. This eTrex Vista is a 12 parallel channel GPS receiver with an accuracy of 9-10 meters and is provided with an in-built base map, with a capability of importing the external maps. It is fitted with and internal electronic compass and a barometric altimeter and can store up to 500 waypoints. Since the outcrops of the pluton are at ground level; and are scarcely, irregularly distributed; the grid method is not suitable for mapping. Several hundreds of structural measurements such as attitude of foliations and lineations, fold axes, shear zones, etc. within and outside of the pluton have been collected along with lithological information. Locations of all these measurements are stored as waypoints in GPS and are transferred to the personal computer using GPS software (Mapsource). The GPS has aided significantly in lithological mapping. The pluton boundary with the country rock, wherever exposed, has been precisely measured. Few lenses of anorthosite and leucogabbro have been identified during the mapping, and their GPS locations have enabled to plot their shapes and contact with the gabbroic body. The GPS measurements were facilitated in measuring the length/extent and accurate plotting of several dolerite, pegmatite and syenite dykes traversing the pluton in varied directions. It is also used to measure the width and exposure lengths of marginal shear zones enveloping the pluton. Different symbols were assigned to the waypoints at different rock types to produce a real-time preliminary geological map in the Mapsource itself, and the aspatial data has been saved to all the waypoints with the help of the field notebook. This preliminary map (Fig. 2) has been conveniently used for plotting of geological and large amount of structural data, manually, and reduced a large extent of time and work along with the preservation of field relationships.
Application of Remote Sensing and GIS
Remote sensing technique, widely used for regional scale mapping, has also been applied in the present study, since the pluton boundary is concealed at many places, and there are hardly any outcrops in the central part of the pluton. The IRS-1D LISS-3+PAN merged satellite image of the area on 1:50,000 scale (with a resolution of 5.8 m) remarkably displays the pluton boundary and the structural trends within the pluton distinguished by the tonal variations. The trends inferred from this image perfectly matches with those obtained from field mapping (Fig. 3). It also enhanced the existing data by filling gaps wherever the field structural data is lacking. Based on the dark tonal character of gabbro, a two isolated small bodies of gabbro have been identified out side the pluton; and their presence have been confirmed in the field. This has proved that the remote sensing technique can effectively be used for the local large-scale geologic and structural mapping. A foliation trajectory map has been prepared manually by merging both the datasets from the field survey and satellite image for a comprehensive analysis of the plutonic fabrics. The waypoints stored in Mapsource in vector form have been imported into ArcGis (ver. 9), where a geological map of the pluton has been prepared.
Fig. 3. Lithology and structural trends interpreted from IRS-1D LISS3+ PAN merged satellite image of the Pasupugallu gabbro pluton on 1:50,000 scale. Anorthoite lenses are also shown in the pluton.
The structural map of the Pasupugallu pluton (Fig. 4) reveals a concentric, inward-dipping, helicoidal foliation pattern and a near circular distribution of lineations. The gabbros display magmatic layering in the central parts, which gradually transforms into mylonitic near the margins. Petrographic studies also confirm the magmatic fabrics in the central parts, characterized by the coarse-grained cumulate textures and euhedral nature of plagioclase and pyroxenes. The mylonitic fabrics near the margins characterized by the fine-grained aggregates and the development of intense foliation. The marginal dextral shear zones constitute a narrow structural aureole around the pluton, which is defined by the deflection of regional gneissic foliations into a margin parallel mylonitic with steep stretching lineations and elliptical enclaves of amphibolites. All the structural features, the shape and the parallelism of the long axis of the pluton with the regional trends strongly suggest the syntectonic emplacement with the TBSZ kinematics.

The digital mapping in earth sciences
Though, involving the drawbacks like power loss and restriction of use in mountainous and forest areas, the GPS technique has been successfully used in the current study. However, the integration and interoperability among all geospatial technologies have paved path for the digital mapping, which can virtually bring the lab plotting into the field and thus producing real-time maps, rapid analysis and decision-making on-site systems. The modern field surveys are planned with the aid of an advanced Data Acquision System, which integrates both GPS, and GIS with a graphic user interface technique and the database and maps created in the field can be exported to other formats. When these technologies coupled with LIDAR and other in-situ laser instrumentations, the output will be a 3-D and 4-D visualization that brings a virtual reality environment before the spatial data users.

The UNECE/FAO Timber Section has just launched its periodical enquiry on the state of forests and forest management in Europe. National correspondents from 46 countries in the pan-European region were invited to provide information on the status and changes of forests, their management and applied policies. Indicators monitored cover forest health and vitality, productive functions, the protection of biodiversity and the protective functions as well as the social and economic dimensions of forest management.
The national enquiries include a broad variety of numeric data, both general (e.g. area, growing stock, carbon) and specific (e.g. defoliation, trade, employment etc.), as well as a description of the policies, institutions and financial instruments developed in the pan-European region.
The results will be presented in the State of Europe's Forests report, which will be released at the 6th Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe (Forest Europe), to be held in 2011 in Norway.
The results of this enquiry, the most comprehensive of its kind on pan-European forests, offer a particularly valuable source of information both for practitioners and policy makers.

The History of Hypnosis
The history of hypnosis has many similarities with the development of humans through the ages. It's a natural phenomenon that has been part of the human mind since olden times. That's because going into 'trance' is something that is essential to the brain's development. Modern psychologists have identified various cycles that the human body and brain go through, one of which is the ultradian rhythm, which lasts around 90 minutes, cycling between the right and left hemispheres of the brain. There is a period where the brain is preparing to move from one hemisphere to the another, where it naturally goes into a type of trance or resting stage, a period where there is a desire for a little downtime.
Humans also enter into a hypnotic state just before falling asleep, an intermediate state of drowsy consciousness known as the hypnogogic state, and again there is the state just before fully waking up and returning to full consciousness, known as the hypnopompic state. While dreaming the subconscious mind communicates through images and emotions/feelings, and even as a person returns to consciousness after being asleep in the dream world, they often remember fragments of a dream or images upon waking. These trance states are part of the process in which the mind sorts through and files the day's events and information processed.
So being in a trance is nothing new, neither is the use of hypnosis to encourage others to go into a trance to promote healing or change. So, let's take a look at the history of hypnosis. Ancient Hindu, Egyptian and Eastern texts all point to the use of hypnosis as a healing medium.
The History of Hypnosis in Europe
However, trancework in Europe began to take shape through the work of Franz Mesmer (1734-1815), whose use of hypnosis became known as 'mesmerism.' However, he believed that he was using 'animal magnetism' to heal his patients, rather than a purely psychological process, and he was constantly denounced as a 'quack,' albeit his methods, which included strange and repetitive hand movements, often worked exceptionally well. Mesmer's theory was expanded upon by the British surgeons, John Elliotson (1791-1868) and James Esdaile (1808-1859), who used mesmerism to perform various surgeries, including amputating limbs.
James Braid and Fixed Eye Gaze
James Braid (1795-1860) was a physician, now widely acknowledged as the 'father of hypnosis,' whose work took a more scientific exploration, rather than believing that it was something purely esoteric. He first used the word hypnosis, taken from the Greek word hypnos (meaning to sleep). He discovered hypnosis quite by chance when a visiting magnetism showman, Charles Lafontaine, invited medical experts to attend his show. Intrigued by how Lafontaine had 'mesmerised' people, James Braid conducted his own experiments and in time concluded that there was no magic involved. Instead, he concluded that trance was brought on by the use of a fixed eye gaze and an object of concentration. However, although his focus was set on finding a scientific explanation, his work came under fire from religious leaders, who preached that hypnosis was satanic.
History of Hypnosis – Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung
Moving on, Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) used hypnosis in his early work but then ditched it and began using free association techniques and other methods that collectively became known as psychoanalysis, a clinical method that used dialogue between the patient and the psychoanalyst. An overriding belief was that the patient could only become aware of, and work through, problems with the help of the psychoanalyst. His successor Carl Jung (1875-1961) used hypnosis extensively in his early work but like his predecessor dropped it in favour of other practices.
Emile Coué and Self-Hypnosis
Around this time, Emile Coué (1857-1926) began experimenting with the concept of positive auto-suggestion (self-hypnosis) and came to the realization that trance was something a person could bring about themselves, without the need for a hypnotist, and that the imagination could be used to find solutions to problems. He is famous for the use of "Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better" as a mantra for self-improvement. He maintained that the path of healing was through the unconscious mind, by promoting the use of the imagination and auto-suggestion.
His work was the springboard for famous 'mind masters' who expanded upon his theories, such as Maxwell Maltz, Napoleon Hill, Norman Vincent Peale and W. Clement Stone, who all believed that man's greatness lies in the positive use of the mind. This was quite a step away from the psychoanalytical viewpoint that a person was not capable of personal growth by themselves. Instead, it was a step in the direction of teaching people personal empowerment, which also came with the responsibility for change upon the individual.
Milton H. Erickson and Indirect Hypnosis
Milton H. Erickson (1901-1980) pioneered the elegant use of 'indirect hypnosis,' using specific language patterns that spoke directly to the subconscious mind, even without the need for a client to be taken into trance formally. He took time to understand the client's model of the world and tailored his words to make use of what the client presented. By entering into the client's view of the world, he was able to use therapeutic verbal patterns that became meaningful to the individual.
NLP developed by Richard Bandler and John Grindler
His specific techniques were examined in detail by many, including Richard Bandler (1950-present) who along with John Grindler codified the work of Erickson and other therapists, and developed Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), a methodology widely used to understand change thought and behaviour patterns. Erickson believed that the answers to a client's problems were within themselves and that by working with the subconscious, people would facilitate their healing.
Dave Elman and Rapid Changework
At the same time, Dave Elman (1900-1967) took elements of stage hypnotism, such as rapid inductions and hypnotic techniques and used them in a therapeutic manner, which he taught to many, including medical professionals. This made hypnotherapy not only a practical intervention, but now it was much faster to induce trance and carry out change-work.
Ormond McGill and Transforming Therapy
Ormond McGill (1913-2005) known as the 'Dean of American Hypnotists' started out interested in magic and stage hypnotism, but moved towards the use of hypnosis as therapy and later taught the subject. One of his students, Gil Boyne (1924-2010) taught thousands of people to become hypnotherapists. Strangely, having dismissed the use of hypnosis as a therapeutic tool, the medical world became interested and tried to restrict the use of hypnosis to medical professionals only. McGill constantly fought against such legislation and in fact founded amongst the first recognized training institutions, as well as the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners. He developed a form of hypnotherapy, the Transforming Therapy, which included aspects of Gestalt therapy, as well as regression techniques, coupled with the self-healing capabilities of the subconscious, and like Milton H. Erickson, a belief that the subconscious mind could find solutions to problems through the use of the creative imagination.
Modern Hypnosis
They say that great therapists stand on the shoulders of giants, the master therapists who, throughout the history of hypnosis, have moved forward with the knowledge that has gone before them. Modern hypnosis is a blend of earlier theories, and many contemporary hypnotherapists use rapid inductions, coupled with working directly with the client's mental map of the world, using indirect suggestion and NLP, as well as counselling theories and techniques, to produce fast, solution focused methods, specifically tailored to individual clients. But the hypnotic world is expanding and growing in knowledge and ability, and rather than being viewed as 'quackery' as it once was, it is gaining respect as a modality that works well to help people to bring about the changes they seek.
Hypnosis is an amazing modality and one I'm glad to have in my toolbox of techniques to create trance-formation in others!

Recommendations based on personal experience are always the best. Below are resources from renowned hypnotists and experts that I've personally trained with since I began my path into learning therapeutic interventions in the year 2000. The start of the new millennium was also the start of my fascinating journey into understanding the mind-body-spirit and how it fits and works together. Take a look at my recommendations and start your journey too!
I've trained with some fantastic hypnosis trainers, including Rory Z Fulcher, who is not only a highly experienced and great trainer but also has a brilliant sense of humour. Previously, I thought that rapid inductions were simply stage acting by audience members who wanted to be picked for a stage show. But then Rory performed an 'instant induction' on Ms-You-Can't-Hypnotise-Me-Matey (otherwise known as me!) and next thing I know, I'm stretched out on the floor snoring. It was hilariously funny! Anyway, this guy knows his onions when it comes to hypnosis and has created some great teaching tools. If you want to learn more about instant inductions, then take a look at this. Buy this book!

They taught me how to change my thinking patterns, behaviours and actions, for the better. I must admit, I'm a complete Bandler/McKenna fan and often re-read their books, and each time I find yet another golden nugget. This book is a favourite because it demonstrates Richard Bandlers unique and inspiring view of the world and of the minds of the people that inhabit it. Buy this book! Click the link below. Conversations with Richard Bandler: Two Nlp Masters Reveal the Secrets to Successful Living – Richard Bandler and Owen Fitzpatrick:
One of the most fascinating techniques I've ever learned was Future Life Progression, with the wonderfully future-sighted, incredibly psychic and astoundingly knowledgeable, Anne Jirsch. Her latest book is a fantastic tool that will help you get ahead in your chosen line of work. Lots to learn, including new and innovative techniques to tap into the wisdom of your future self. It's a total must read. Buy this book! Click the link below. Future Vision Your Working Life: 10 Strategies to Help You Get Ahead – Anne Jirsch:
And there's simply no way I can forget the book that made me want to train in Future Life Progression. One of the best things I ever did, I might add! FLP enables you to see where you will be five and ten years in the future, and how to use this information to resolve your present day problems and dilemmas. Total. Must. Read! Buy this book!

Karl Smith created a form of rapid treatment, known as Kinetic Shift, which I trained in a few years ago. His book about post traumatic stress will give you a deep understanding of how the brain processes trauma and why some people go on to develop distressing symptoms. More importantly, he demonstrates how they can be resolved. This book is useful for you to read, particularly if you've experienced a traumatic event, and the information isn't just for those in the emergency services. Buy this book!

Have you heard of Tapping? This covers the various form of meridian tapping therapies, which use 'tapping' on energy points combined with 'brain balancing' and other mind tools, to bring about changes in how emotional and mental upsets are processed within you. I've trained in various 'tapping' modalities, and here are some recommended resources:
Thought Field Therapy was my first introduction to tapping modalities. It seemed strange that tapping on acupuncture points on my head and body could make profound changes within me. But, to my utter amazement, it's true that this stuff works! Dr Roger Callahan's book was such a revelation that I trained in TFT (Thought Field Therapy), originally with Roger Ellis (now sadly no longer with us), and then with John Plester, who is the Director of Training for the UK Institute of Thought Field Therapy. Here's the book that started me off on the tapping journey. Buy this book! Click on the link below: Tapping The Healer Within: Use thought field therapy to conquer your fears, anxieties and emotional distress – Roger Callahan:
Dr Silvia Hartmann has taken energy work to newer and higher levels throughout her career. I trained as an Energy EFT Master Practitioner and experienced many revelations in the process. But here I want to introduce you to one of her earlier works: to a new concept in how events are stored in the mind and played out afterwards, in thinking patterns, meta beliefs and behaviours. It's a real eye-opener and helps you to reconsider what you thought you knew about how the mind works. Buy this book! Click on the link below: Events Psychology: How to Understand Yourself and Other People – Dr Silvia Hartmann:
Energy EFT is a constantly expanding field of 'Tapping' knowledge and this book is a great self-help tool for you to clear unwanted emotions and blockages in your mind-body-energy system. It's this book that prompted me to train in Energy EFT, as Dr Silvia Hartmann's straightforward, no-nonsense approach in explaining how the energy system works in an incredibly structural way, made total and wonderful sense to me. Energy EFT Kindle Edition: Energize Your Life From -10 to +10 With The Essential Next Generation A-Z Field Guide To Self Help EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques – Dr S Hartmann:
Reflective Repatterning is the brainchild of Chris Milbank, who was one of the top Thought Field Therapy trainers, and he crystallized his knowledge into this incredible set of modalities that make up Reflective Repatterning. I trained with Chris Milbank and often use the therapeutic interventions he taught in my coaching work. One of his students has gone on to form the Head Trash Clearance Method and it's well worth reading this book and using the technique to stop the incessant negative chatter in your brain.

BodyCafé
Tanushree Ishani D & Pooja Karegoudar: New Faces in the Indian Beauty Products Industry
Tanushree Ishani D & Pooja Karegoudar
There is a lot more than the usual `Neem Tulsi' `Honey Almond' combinations that they see on every body-care product label. Tanushree Ishani D and Pooja Karegoudar observed that the people deserve to be aware and to understand this. Thus began their entrepreneurial journey. Tanushree alongside Pooja Karegoudar laid the foundation to a body care startup and called it BodyCafé. Having entered the industry on their own merit, using their own savings, the duo did not have any god father or mentor to give them a launch or that `push'.
It's interesting the way two mavens, despite their distinct backgrounds, found their way into building a brand and a culture; thanks to their passion for natural grooming products. Tanushree was introduced to entrepreneurship when she started leading the Entrepreneurship cell `Initium' in her college, Mount Carmel Bangalore, where she was pursuing B.A in Psychology, Economics & Sociology. She joined Goldman Sachs in 2010, soon after her under graduation and quit in 2012. She pursued her MSc in Organisational Psychiatry & Psychology from King's College, London and her research dealt with "How Appraisal affects motivation in India & UK" Her Postgraduate research was published as a book by Lambert Academic Publishing. Soon she headed to India and joined Lookup as the country head HR. Later, Tanushree learnt that women entrepreneurs were being stereotyped of not being SMEs in departments like Sales or Business development or Strategy. Nevertheless, now with Body Café, Tanushree Ishani is getting an opportunity to change that perception slowly and steadily.
Pooja Karegoudar the Co founder of BodyCafé, is an engineer by qualification and was previously the founder of an event management company called CircleTheDate. A self-taught home baker, she loves to innovate with ingredients and come up with new recipes. This motivated her to study more about for-gotten ancient Indian ingredients and how they can be brought together to make grooming and wellness products. Her extensive knowledge and thorough understanding of ingredients enable her to come forward with unique creations for BodyCafé.
Comprehensive Suite of Products
BodyCafé offers a wide range of products that are categorised under beauty, wellness, home range, child-care and pet care. Under the beauty section the startup caters to three major categories, viz, Facial Care, Body Care and Hair Care. These products are further classified under Lifestyle range for everyday use, and Spa & Luxury range to help one treat oneself to a revitalising spa experience. BodyCafé also provides bespoke hampers and travelling kits of its products so that nothing comes in between them and a healthy lifestyle.
What is unique about the products is that they apply the science of Healing Aromatherapy which means that in addition to catering to users' grooming needs, they also aspire to offer them an overall sense of emotional well being via their products. "Mental health is severely ignored. We wanted to come up with products that help one strike a fine balance between Vanity and Sanity", says Tanushree. Pooja added, "For instance, we have a Lily of the Valley Body Butter that has a calming aroma to help you get good sleep, lessen feelings of anxiety".
What is very impressive is that every product is handmade which ensures there is no compromise on the quality of the ingredients used.

Overcoming the Odds
The journey so far has been challenging yet nurturing for the founders. "It is tough to mention all challenges that we have experienced so far, but the toughest challenge is undoubtedly going to be the one yet to be encountered." says Tanushree (Founder), BodyCafé. It was not easy for them to start their journey in an otherwise risk aversive environment. Both the founders were concerned about the fact that as a startup they have a huge financial crunch or bandwidth. But they are moving ahead slowly and steadily. As the company was launched a year ago, founders faced few challenges such as lack of accountability and commitment from vendors, a generic lack of passion or enthusiasm, time not being respected and the most important of all, financial crunch- given its a startup. The biggest challenge and learning has been the global pandemic Covid19 and the founders had to up their game manifold overnight. "It was not an easy task but we decided to test our limits. We were the first and only brand amongst our contemporaries to introduce 80% alcohol hand sanitizers. We also kept in mind the geriatric population and expecting mothers. So we infused the goodness of Aloe Vera, Basil & Oregano extracts that are known for their antiviral and antibacterial properties. While most thought we wanted to cash in the opportunity, we actually brought down the prices on humanitarian grounds", says Pooja. The duo employs victims of domestic and marital abuse to bottle and package their products.
"Ever since the onset of Coronavirus, we have been packed with orders for our hand sanitizers. We have catered to reputed corporates, state police departments, hospitals and pharmacies and to direct clients across India. It is heart warming and overwhelming to have users send us their pleasant experiences and how we have helped them during times when most pharmacies have been out of stock. We have had mothers thanking us for making sanitizers suitable for kids under parental super-vision, we have had clients ordering for their parents and helpers. Though not publicly, we have also donated sanitizers to orphanages and old age homes. Our e commerce platforms have seen a sharp spike in their sales as well because of our hand sanitizers. But there is a flip side as well. Our staff who help us in packaging and bottling are victims of domestic abuse so we had to take care of them as well. The prices of raw materials quadrupled which means we are in acute crunch to keep the show running. Logistics have been an absolute nightmare for us as we had to incur heavy losses due to delay in response from their end," responded Tanushree.
On asking them about their expansion plans the duo responded that it is very challenging to keep a self sustaining business running. "We are looking to raise funds. Our company has witnessed a 6x growth since last year, we have recurring clients, our clientele is completely organic. This minimises a huge risk on investors because we would be utilising the funds for expansion and client acquisition", added Tanushree.
Tanushree and Pooja are constantly studying about Indian ingredients and understanding their benefits. They have planned to launch a new face serum soon and have spent a lot of time on research and testing its efficacy. They are confident and hoping that the product is going to be one of the best face serums in the market.

Q: 00th component of the electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor I'm working through relativistic electrodynamics, but I'm stuck on determining the $00$-th component of the energy-momentun tensor. The (contravariant) 2-tensor (in Heaviside-Lorentz units) reads:
$$T^{\mu\nu}=F^{\mu\alpha}F_{\alpha}^{\:\nu}+\frac{1}{4}\eta^{\mu\nu}F_{\alpha\beta}F^{\alpha\beta}$$
It's the first term that's causing me pain (the second is just a standard field invariant), so if we just look at that:
$$T^{00}=F^{0\alpha}F_{\alpha}^{\:0}$$
I want to show this to be the square of the electric field, but I'm confused about the indices. I would have thought that
$$F_{\alpha0}=\eta_{0 \sigma}F_{\alpha}^{\:\sigma}=\eta_{00}F_{\alpha}^{\:0}=F_{\alpha}^{\:0}$$
with no sign change as I'm lowering a temporal index. But when I swap the indices for $F^{0\alpha}$, I pick up a minus sign due to the antisymmetry of $F$. Since I want the whole thing to just be the EM energy density, I need to get rid of this minus sign. I presume that I must compensate for it in the index lowering process that I'm messing up somehow.
I presume I'm just making some novice mistake, so if someone could point it out and set me straight that would be much appreciated!

A: The term is$$F^{0\alpha}F_\alpha{}^0=F^{0i}F_i{}^0=F^{0i}\eta_{i\mu}F^{\mu0}=F^{0i}\eta_{ij}F^{j0}\stackrel{\ast}{=}\pm F^{0i}\delta_{ij}F^{j0}\stackrel{\ast}{=}\pm F^{0i}F^{i0}=\mp E^2$$if you work in $\mp\pm\pm\pm$, where each $\ast$ breaks the usual contraction rules for indices to emphasize the value.

Virtual Session: How to get ahead of California's landmark privacy law
Download the Slides
One of the biggest stories to hit the privacy and info-security world in the U.S. this year was the passage of the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018. The law will apply to more than 500,000 small- and medium-sized businesses and grants new rights to California residents over how their data is used, including a right to be forgotten, a right to data portability and the right to opt out of having their data sold. But there are still a lot of unknowns as the law continues to be amended ahead of its implementation date in 2020. In this webinar, experts in the field discuss the law's provisions and how to begin implementing processes that will help your company be compliant before enforcement actions over non-compliance begin.

Q: TextMate bundle to insert a line of text above each line selected? I'm looking for a way to insert a line of text above each line in the selected text in TextMate.
Does anyone know how to write a command or snippet to do this?
Example, selected text:
This is line 1
This is line 2
This is line 3
This is line 4

I want to insert the following above each line selected:
--im an inserted line--
Which would result in the following:
-
-im an inserted line--
This is line 1
--im an inserted line--
This is line 2
--im an inserted line--
This is line 3
--im an inserted line--
This is line 4

Could this be done using *NIX commands then I could setup a TextMate command to do this?

A: Select your text, press APPLE + F, then replace \n with \n--Im an inserted line--\n. Make sure that 'Regular expression' is ticked and that you hold in SHIFT while pressing the 'Replace All' button.

A: I would record a macro:

*

*Insert a new line above with ⌥⌘↩

*Paste desired text

Then save it as a command and possibly assign a shortcut to it.
EDIT
The best way to achive what you want in TextMate is to select all the lines then hit ⌥⌘a (Text > Edit Each Line in Selection) then do all the keyboard mashing necessary to paste what you want where you want:

*

*⌘← to go back to the beginning of the line

*↩ to insert a newline, effectively adding a blank line above the current line

*↑ to jump to the new blank line

*⌘v to paste your text

It will do that on each selected line simultaneously.
You can save a few keystrokes the next time you have to do that by recording all these steps in a macro and save it as a command as in the first part of my answer.

A: To insert line above current line
I believe the key shortcut is: ⌥ + ⌘ + ↩

Finding a Company for Patent Validity Searches
The use of a license validity search is a really vital step in the procedure of safeguarding civil liberties or in fighting the claims of one more holder. The patent legitimacy search offers several essential functions in the patenting procedure:
- Determines whether a license will withstand in-court litigation
- Provides in-depth analysis of how to file a patent with InventHelp patent art that can confirm the legitimacy or invalidity of a patent currently acquired
- Determines the effectiveness of a patent for licensing negotiations for those holding or for those preferring to produce an item or innovation when the license is had by one more individual
License legitimacy searches are one of the most comprehensive search processes that can be embarked on pertaining to copyright matters. A firm may prefer to revoke the patent of a rival. The corporation can proceed searching license documents consisting of previous art until they feel they have actually discovered some detail that invalidates the patent held by the rival.
Due to the fact that a patent search can be quite comprehensive and intensive, locating a company for patent credibility searches that is specialist, well-informed which will certainly leave no rock unturned in the license legitimacy procedure is important. These searches usually involve exploring hundreds and thousands of cases dealing with extremely technical material on extremely particular subjects that require market experience. Relying on the future of one's patent or the dissolution of a competitor's legal civil liberties to an incompetent firm will certainly lead to the loss of earnings or maybe also the failure of a service gradually. It is crucial to secure the finest, brightest, most rigorous license professionals when it comes to conducting a license validity search.
Below are a number of requirements to think about when your company or business is seeking a patent company for your needs in relation to legitimacy searches:
1. Can the firm offer a devoted expert who will deal with your legitimacy search till all facets of the search are exhausted?
2. Does the firm have the technological proficiency for study in the area called for - geothermal power, biofuel growth, nanotechnology, dietary supplementation, etc?
3. What level of examination on licenses does the company provide? Exclusively United States patents? International licenses?
4. What sort of deliverables will the strong supply in terms of reporting on the legitimacy search? Browse background? Key phrases as well as classifications used? All recognized papers?
5. Is the firm's reputation firmly developed and also trustworthy in the patenting neighborhood?
6. What do their previous customers have to state concerning their work and also investigating abilities?
7. Exists "unfavorable http://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=patent press" offered online concerning the firm's efficiency, pricing or assurances?
These guidelines must have the ability to assist individuals and also firms that require patent legitimacy searches to protect professional, superb patent specialists. All the best as you work on seeking your projects.
Patent validity searches are the most comprehensive search processes that can be undertaken concerning intellectual residential property issues. The corporation can continue browsing license documents consisting of previous art till they feel they InventHelp Commercials have located some detail that revokes the patent held by the competitor.
Since a license search can be quite extensive and intensive, discovering a firm for license legitimacy searches that is professional, experienced and also that will certainly leave no rock unturned in the license legitimacy process is vital. Relying on the future of one's license or the dissolution of a rival's lawful rights to an unskilled firm will result in the loss of revenues or maybe also the failing of a business over time. It is important to safeguard the finest, brightest, most strenuous patent specialists when it comes to conducting a license validity search.

Endemic to the Ethiopian Highlands, Ethiopian wolves are the most endangered carnivores in Africa and one of the rarest canids on Earth. With fewer than 500 Ethiopian wolves left in the world, every single one counts!
Threatened by habitat loss due to agricultural farming and the spread of lethal diseases by domestic dogs, such as rabies, urgent efforts are needed to ensure the survival of this endangered species.
The Born Free-supported Ethiopian Wolf Conservation Programme (EWCP) is the only conservation initiative focusing on protecting the Ethiopian wolf and the fragile Afroalpine habitats where they live.
The Ethiopian wolves' last remaining stronghold is in the Bale Mountains National Park, Ethiopia where over half their population is found, and where EWCP focuses their work.
Born Free has partnered with GlobalGiving to raise urgent funds throughout December for this vital project, please donate via the GlobalGiving website.
In 2020, the Ethiopian wolf experienced a baby boom! An incredible 48 puppies were born and new packs were seen in the Bale Mountains. This was particularly welcome news as Bale's core populations had previously suffered significant losses due to outbreaks of both rabies and distemper.
In previous years, it was only possible to vaccinate wolves against rabies in response to outbreaks. Now, with an oral vaccine, wolves can be protected in advance. In 2020, 17 packs were orally vaccinated (up from seven the previous year), and four packs against canine distemper.
In Delanta in Ethiopia's northern highlands, a brand new wolf family was discovered recolonising the hills. In November 2019, after an absence of almost three years, EWCP reported an adult wolf in the area, and in January 2020, discovered a healthy wolf pair with a litter of six puppies. The family, named Addis Tesfa, or New Hope in Amharic, are significant because they are bringing new life to an area where wolves had previously become extinct due to habitat loss.
It is hoped the new packs will persist and expand. Preventative vaccination campaigns will soon be extended outside of the Bale Mountains, giving more packs the protection against disease they desperately need, and taking a step closer to securing a future for the Ethiopian wolf.
With your generous gift, we can:
Monitor and protect wolf populations
Provide disease prevention and control through vaccination programmes
Provide specialist veterinary treatment and rehabilitation for individual animals
Work closely with pastoralists and communities living alongside the wolves to promote co-existence
Provide local employment and develop sustainable livelihoods and eco-tourism.
