New Delhi: Indian art might be just the solution for investors seeking a safe haven in turbulent times.
Take a vivid landscape by avant-garde artist Francis Newton Souza hanging on a wall in Indian art dealer Ashish Anand's New Delhi gallery. With a price tag of $400,000 (Rs1.8 crore), the painting might not seem like a bargain but Anand says it will probably be worth $2 million within the next two years.
Art dealers and experts say the Indian art market is still undervalued and there is money to be made in local art for those with the means to pay the six figure prices that works by some of India's leading artists fetch at auctions.
"I think Indian art is a one-way bet in the long term " said Philip Hoffman who runs the Fine Art Fund based in London. "If you look 50 years down the line, what you pay now is peanuts compared to what you will have to pay for the great Indian artists," he said at an Indian art summit in New Delhi in August.
The prices of Indian art have gone up considerably but not at the levels of Chinese art, which has seen prices soar due to enormous interest at home and abroad.
Indian art has long been popular among wealthy Indians. Until recently, Western collectors had not taken much interest in Indian art.
That is starting to change. As South Asian art begins to draw a Western audience, dealers believe Indian works have plenty of room to appreciate. Weihe predicts that sales of Indian art at Christie's auctions might reach $30 million this year, compared with $680,000 in 2000.
Asia's art scene has blossomed in the past five years driven by the continent's rapid economic growth. Valuations have skyrocketed as Asian art has become an investment for speculators and a symbol of affluence for a growing pool of local collectors.
The record for a contemporary Indian art work was set in June when Francis Newton Souza's piece Birth was sold for £1.3 million (Rs10.8 crore).
The figure was, nevertheless, significantly lower than the $9.7 million record price for Chinese artist Zeng Fanzhi's piece Mask Series 1996 No. 6 sold at an auction in Hong Kong in May.
Works by famous Indian artists such as Maqbool Fida Husain and Syed Haider Raza currently go under the hammer for anywhere from $200,000 to $1 million.
Yet industry players expect prices to shoot up to between $5 million and $10 million in the next few years. Neville Tuli, a manager of a $400 million art fund in India, believes that Indian art will appreciate by between 18% and 25% per year in an economic climate in which art is increasingly seen as a secure investment.
"Financial institutions and their HNIs (high net worth individuals) are recognizing the inherent stability in the art object as a capital asset," said Tuli. "Hence given its low correlation to economic circumstances and other related factors, the proportion of art within the alternative asset allocation is increasing significantly," he added.
But, as with all investments, there are risks. The Indian market is vastly different from the Western art markets because in India, art is viewed more as a financial investment rather than a collectors item, art fund managers said.
"It has gone up 200 times in five years," said Hoffman, of the London-based Fine Art Fund, adding that the Indian market consisted of 70% speculators and 30% collectors.
This trend of rapid buying and selling, makes it difficult to predict long term value.
"Let's say you've got a Gupta," Hoffman said, referring to Subodh Gupta, one of India's hot new artists whose pieces sell for between $800,000 and $1 million. "It's a financial commodity like a stock," Hoffman said.
"You need the Bill Gates' of this world to say I want a Gupta and I don't give a damn how much it costs. It's going into my collection and it's not for sale," he added. saying a growing pool of collectors will stabilize the art market.
Also, greater government investment in art infrastructure and museums will give the market stability in the long term, experts said, although they noted that so far the Indian government has shown little political will to support such projects. There are also bureaucratic hurdles such as permits to export works of art and requirements to register antiques with government bodies that turn acquisitions of Indian art into a headache for dealers and collectors abroad.
Despite the market's shortcomings, art dealers, Weihe and Hoffman are bullish on Indian art.
"The Indian market will mature when the real collector base is grown up and the money is put to one side," Hoffman said. "In the long run, all these artists are going to be global, they just happen to be local at the moment."

Countries Succeed When Women Are Treated Well
FILE - A woman holds a sheet with stains to represent blood during a demonstration to demand justice for women, who are the victims of violence, in Mexico City, Mexico.
Latin America has come a long way over the past two decades. Yet women still face many obstacles.
The strength of a nation depends on the success of all of its people, so any country hoping to grow and flourish must recognize the important contributions of women from all backgrounds, and enable them to succeed in their work.
Latin America has come a long way over the past two decades. Women serve in elected office, including as heads of state, they run businesses large and small, they study and they teach. Yet they still face many obstacles.
"Perhaps most appalling is the widespread violence against women in the Americas," said U.S. Under Secretary for Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights Sarah Sewall.
Noting that between 17 and 53 percent of all women in Latin America have been victims of physical or sexual violence inflicted by their partners, Under Secretary Sewall said that "many Latin American countries rank among the worst in the world for the number of women killed each year."
To prevent violence against women, we must address imbalances in education, employment, and politics that reinforce a culture where women are valued less than men, where they are somehow seen as less worthy of equal respect, opportunity, and protection.
Women who have suffered violence must have a clear pathway to justice, a system that consistently enforces the law and ensures a fair and responsive judicial process.
The U.S. government works to prevent and respond to violence against women, integrate a gender perspective into our work, especially to prevent and respond to gender-based violence. In 2012, the United States developed a global strategy to tackle all forms of gender-based violence, which affects all countries around the world, including the United States.
In Latin America, we assist indigenous and African descendent women to participate in local government and advocate against violence and discrimination; we train women entrepreneurs to reach new markets; and we partner with local law enforcement to train more female police officers, prosecutors, and judges.
"We do this not only because gender equality is inherently worthwhile," said Under Secretary Sewall. "When you broaden participation and emphasize inclusion – in business, in arts and culture, in politics – it enriches us all."

Q: How to switch to the directory listing from file view in vim? I have opened a dir vim some/dir. I can navigate within the tree, yet once I opened a file I wonder, how do I close the file view in order to go back to the directory listing to navigate to another file. :wq is no option, as it closes the whole vim session. I guess there is a for mode to that, yet I do not know what it is called nor how I start it.
How to close the file to file navigation view?

A: If you want to close a file use :bd (buffer delete). This will take you back to the previous buffer, in your case the directory listing. You can have multiple files open at once in vim, each is known stored and referred to as a buffer.
If you do not want to close the current file you can also use :E (explore) to open a view of the current directory where you can open other files. If you know the file name you can simply :e path/to/file.txt to open it directly. You can then switch between buffers with :bn and :bp.
Note: since you opened the dir view as a buffer (rather then with :E) you can switch to it any way you normally switch to a buffer (:bp, :bp, :b 1, :rew, :first etc). Use :ls to list your open buffers.

A: How about :e .? This opens the current directory in Vim, i.e. it opens the file explorer. Because I have autochdir setting set, this shows the directory that the currently edited file is in.

A: I'm not sure but I think that you want the :rew  command

A: Use ^O to fallback previous opened file, which is your dir tree in this case.

A new project in Paisley will support start-up businesses looking to make the leap into their first commercial premises.
The town's George Street will become Start-Up Street as vacant Renfrewshire Council-owned units are adapted into a range of low-cost, high-quality digitally-connected workspaces for up to 20 businesses.
It follows a survey of new and early-stage Renfrewshire businesses, with more than 80% looking for subsidised space to grow, but many citing high costs and a lack of know-how preventing them taking this significant step.
George Street is next to the University of the West of Scotland business school and close to the council's existing economic development hubs.
Businesses based here will benefit from an on-site business advisor, training space and a shared reception.
Each company can rent the space for up to two years, with lease costs incrementally increased until they are ready to move to an alternative commercial space in Renfrewshire.
The Council's Leadership Board rubber-stamped the proposals yesterday (Wednesday 5 December 2018) and now its economic development team will further develop the plans, working jointly with London Youth Support Trust, a charity which specialises in supporting young entrepreneurs from deprived backgrounds.
Renfrewshire Council Leader Iain Nicolson said: "We have a responsibility to nurture new businesses and Start-Up Street is being developed in response to what local businesses are telling us they need.
"It will provide a whole package of support to enable businesses to overcome any barriers and grow sustainably, offering an environment which helps them achieve long-term sustainability, moving into commercial premises in our town centres.
"We're excited to be working in partnership with the London Youth Support Trust, who have an excellent track record in helping young people progress, adding to our own economic development team's fantastic achievements in helping local businesses to grow and local people to find jobs."
The project comes as Renfrewshire's regeneration continues to make excellent progress, according to the latest economic indicators.
Renfrewshire's Economic Profile published this week highlights an employment rate outstripping its neighbouring local authorities and well above the national average.
There are more than 4500 private companies based in Renfrewshire, with a lower average closure rate recorded than across the rest of the country.
And over a two-year period, visitors to Renfrewshire attractions have risen by more than 400,000, while ambitious housebuilding targets remain firmly on target, with 630 new homes completed in the first nine months of 2017.
Councillor Nicolson added: "The latest economic figures give us many reasons to be positive and Start-Up Street is the latest investment in Renfrewshire's future, building on the five-year funding we have put in place to deliver support to the people and places who need it most.
"We boast the best performing employability programmes in Scotland and our local economy is growing, bolstered by an incredible rise in visitor numbers to the area.
"Against a tough financial outlook for all councils, we remain committed to creating the conditions which attract more companies and bring more jobs to Renfrewshire, ensuring inclusive growth across the region."
Interested businesses can contact InCube Start-Up on 0300 300 1180 or email incube@renfrewshire.gov.uk
Loopy Lally Designs
Textile designer Chloe Wright is excited by the opportunity Start-Up Street will offer for creative businesses. The former Paisley Grammar School pupil founded Loopy Lally Designs in 2017, producing colourful, abstract interior products including cushions, framed prints and lampshades.
Having outgrown her Paisley house, Chloe is now looking to establish her own premises. She said: "I work from home in the wee spare room, but I'm fast running out of space and from a professional perspective, I don't want to be inviting people into my house.
"My business is growing and moving into new premises is the natural next step for me, it's really exciting. You can be waiting for years for studio space so Start-Up Street is coming at the perfect time.
"It sounds great, especially having business advice available whenever you need it. Sometimes you can be too close to your business and so it helps to pick people's brains and get helpful feedback. It's really exciting what's happening in Paisley and for school kids to know that there is an opportunity to do creative arts and set up your own business in the town is great."

Paisley Pins
For Laura Provan, the buddie behind Paisley Pins, the opportunity Start-Up Street will provide is a "no-brainer" for businesses.
Laura took on her own workspace in her hometown this summer and has not looked back as her popular product continues to build a local, and international customer base.
"It's amazing the amount of people with connections to Paisley that I meet, I even get orders from Paisley in Oregon in the USA. The acrylic pins continue to fly off the shelves and now there's a much more diverse product range on offer, with ear-rings and necklaces, tie pins and cuff links.
"I'd been looking for premises for a while as I just didn't have the space I needed to keep working from home and it was a lonely experience being there, with no opportunities to meet people or collaborate and lots of distractions like tidying up after my kids.
"Having a dedicated workspace has been fantastic, having somewhere where people can find me has definitely improved my business-to-business relationships. Upstairs there's workspaces for other jewellers to rent out and downstairs we've space to run workshops.
"The emotional connection people have with jewellery is very important and people want to know the provenance of a product so it was so important to me that my Paisley product is made here in Paisley.
"Start-Up Street is a fantastic idea and it's the one thing myself and other creative businesses have always said was sorely missing. It is definitely something people should go for if they're looking for space, advice and being able to move their business forward - it's a no-brainer and can only be a positive move."

Note that question #6 was a question posed in a Q&A with Inoue sensei and are therefore not his words but the words of someone else.
My _opinion_ is that the questioner was being a bit sloppy because the question he's asking is actually where on the sword contact should be made (at the monouchi) not whether the left or right shinogi is making contact.
In kata 5 and 6 we are asked to do the suriage with the shinogi; left shinogi in 5 and right shinogi in 6. Should the suriage be made at the monouchi of the shidachi's blade? Also should the suriage be made at the monouchi of the uchidachi's blade?
Kendo-Guide.Com: Ron sensei, thank you! I appreciate your input since I don't own the book!
I have not thought about this actually but I think we should do suriage with the monouchi area of the shigogi and also aiming at the opponent's sword's monouchi area. What do you think, Ron sensei?
Return to Kendo kata #6.

The scene was idyllic, a world blanketed in white with dozens of children busy sledding down every available hill. Marcus Morgan was mesmerized; the scene was almost identical to that of the snow globe, which his grandfather had given him when he was nine.
Marcus shook his head at the illusion; no living human had ever seen real snow, or rain, or water of any kind on the surface. He knew the white substance on the hills was too grainy and hard for snow. It was salt.
He also knew that those weren't children gliding along on sleds; they were salt miners riding enormous, long-legged salt crabs that had evolved from the much smaller land crab. Taming the salt crabs had been much easier than dealing with the corrosive effects of salt on machinery. Plus, most people really enjoyed working with the animals. They were large enough to comfortably accommodate up to two adults; and they were intelligent and trainable, much like the long-extinct horse.
If humans don't survive, I wonder what will replace us? Marcus thought.
Marcus monitored the flight path of his flyer, only five minutes to Chochmo. In order to relax, he did a few isometric exercises. Upon waking every morning, he did a complete workout; as a result, he could easily pass for ten years younger than his actual age of thirty-seven. As a boy, he'd hated his blond-haired, blue-eyed boyishness; now, he could appreciate looking younger for the gift that it was.
He checked his water status for the third time and within seconds an alarm sounded.
"Finally!" He placed an apricot-sized water pill into his mouth and let the shell dissolve; a full ounce of water slowly trickled down his throat. Marcus sighed.
"She's all yours. Thanks." Marcus leaned back and closed his eyes.
We could use some good luck, Marcus thought.
Eyes still closed, Marcus remembered the summit where he'd first met James Sheffield, the Secretary of Planetary Resources. They had both delivered speeches that fateful afternoon. Marcus had been scheduled to speak right after Sheffield, which was ironic considering how diametrically opposed their conclusions were regarding the phage. After his speech was over, he'd be free to spend the rest of the weekend with his wife Sarah and his son Luke. Only, that's not what happened.
At the time, Marcus hadn't given Sheffield another thought, but now he remembered that the man had already looked old at thirty-five. Several years of illicit drug use had taken a heavy toll on his health. The question of how such a man could've lucked into his prominent position was easily answered: Sheffield had been born into the planet's ruling family. Nepotism aside, Marcus hoped that he'd still be able to make him see the potential of his discovery.
With a slight jolt, his flyer landed in Chochmo, which was now the only place on Earth where ground water was still available. Once he was safely inside the closed environment, Marcus removed his faceplate. He inhaled deeply, savoring the water-rich air; he felt it whisper against his bare skin. This should be a normal experience for everyone on Earth, Marcus thought.
He made his way through the governmental labyrinth until he found Sheffield's office. Marcus recognized the man even though he had even less of his scraggly gray hair; his brown eyes were still red-rimmed and cold. It was difficult to believe that both men were the same age.
"I remember you, Dr. Morgan. Have a seat." Sheffield motioned to the adjacent chair, completely ignoring his outstretched hand.
"Thanks." He sat down, noting the slight. I can tell this is going to be a challenge, Marcus thought.
"That's what everyone was told," Sheffield said.
Marcus fumed; he walked briskly through the underground city, eager to get away from Sheffield's office. He thinks we've accomplished nothing? Would he even be alive today without people like us? Marcus thought.
Amelia Morgan had discovered the bacteriophage that was brought here in a probe containing biological samples from Mars–the same phage responsible for the extinction of all life on Mars–and crash landed in the Tasman Sea. The phage immediately began isolating the bacteria-laden water inside an impermeable crust roughly one to three miles beneath the Earth's surface. Amelia then established the Science of Water Restoration, of which Marcus was only the latest Morgan at the helm. Sheffield was right about one thing: attempting to save our planet has always been a Morgan family tradition.
Along the way, they'd also invented many of the items necessary for daily survival: the envirosuit, including the faceplate breathing apparatus, and the life-sustaining water pills.
When the call had gone out to explore space in search of a new Earth-like planet–long before it'd been confirmed that escape from the phage was impossible–many members of his family had answered the call. His most intense memory was the unbelievably strong grip of his grandfather's hand as they watched his father's spaceship disappear.
After the launch, his grandfather had given him a snow globe, an ancient family relic that had been manufactured when the Earth was still blue and snow still fell. Somehow, it had survived all the cataclysmic changes of their dying world. In return for this precious gift, Marcus had made a secret promise to his grandfather.
Calmer now, Marcus pushed his memories aside. On his way back to the lab he began formulating his next step. Sheffield thinks this fight is over but I haven't even started yet.
Either project would change the planet forever; the choice was now in their hands.
Marcus sat alone while he waited for the ruling of the council. He had grown accustomed to being alone in the two years since the last waterquake: that deadly phenomenon caused by the violent movement of the alien crust on its path to capture the planet's water. The closer it got to completion, the more destructive the waterquakes became. The last one had been the single most devastating disaster in recorded history. If the council ruled against his project, soon there wouldn't be anyone left to record history.
His audio link went live, "Hello." He closed his eyes as he listened.
"Would that be Colonel Jocelyn Yang?" My first love, Marcus thought.
"It was horrible." Even "horrible" seems inadequate when describing the loss of countless lives that I failed to save, Marcus thought.
"Good night." He shook the globe in his hand and watched it snow.
Marcus was tracking the progress of the crust via satellite. Clearly visible from space–even three miles below the surface–it resembled a huge thirsty snake, except this snake held its mouth agape, as it swallowed all the water in its path. The insatiable snake-like crust had been slowly sucking the planet dry for nearly a millennium.
"Good morning, Dr. Morgan." Colonel Jocelyn Yang said as she entered his office. She was petite and delicately built but she carried herself with the confidence of a women used to being in charge. Her long, black hair was braided and intricately bound, which ingeniously added more than a couple of inches to her height.
Marcus walked away from his terminal.
They both laughed and Marcus gave her a hug. He still remembered those beautiful brown eyes and the exotic fluidity of her face, which showcased her quick wit and intelligence.
Marcus took out a small tool – a sterile device that extracted a single drop of blood – and took her hand. "May I?" At her nod, he quickly drew a sample from her thumb.
"Yes!" Marcus went to his computer. "Watch this." The screen changed to an outer section of the alien crust two miles below the surface. "This was the final test." Seconds after an explosion, there was no trace of the crust.
"I miss him, too. I miss all of them." His smile couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes.
She watched as the transposon disintegrated and was immediately replaced; in seconds, the entire segment was completely rebuilt. Jocelyn gasped.
Marcus sat at a computer station aboard a military transport; he was maneuvering the DSU probes inside the coils of the snake. These probes released a Compact Detonation Device every 2,500 miles through the coils; the CDDs opened in a star configuration, specifically designed to permanently adhere to the vulnerable inner wall of the snake-like crust. Once in position, they were ready to be detonated.
Startled by the sound of footsteps, Marcus looked up as Jocelyn entered. In order to focus on his task, he had asked for as much privacy as was possible on a transport ship. He had to admit though, he could sure use a break.
"How's it going, Marcus?" Jocelyn asked.
"It may also be our last chance to avoid extinction, Jocelyn," Marcus replied softly.
"Yeah, it sounded so simple then." Marcus shook his head. "Now, I know that I can't really make it snow, but I thought that if I could find a cure for the phage then our planet could begin to heal. Eventually, our ecosystem would return to normal so, in a way, I would've kept my promise to my grandfather. . .
"Aye, aye, Colonel," he said with a wink and a smile. After Jocelyn left, Marcus took a deep breath. Closing his eyes he visualized water returning to the surface and he could almost taste the water-rich air.
I will live to see it snow again, Marcus thought.
At full deployment, Marcus joined the Colonel and her crew. They took flight within minutes. The countdown began; the transport was directly over the first CDD when it detonated. Marcus and the others watched expectantly as they circled above the site.
They circled for five eternal minutes. Colonel Yang widened the circle. After ten minutes, Marcus had trouble remembering to breathe. They continued circling for fifteen minutes but they saw no activity on the surface.
Marcus was on the edge of his seat when they arrived at the second site. Again, they circled for fifteen minutes. He grew more anxious with every unremarkable detonation–almost hyperventilating–but there were no visible changes reported at the next four sites.
This must not fail; it's already the eleventh hour! Marcus thought.
Marcus continued to stare at the smoke, which wasn't acting like normal smoke at all. Suddenly, he realized what he was seeing. "That's not smoke, Colonel, that's water!" A fountain of water was shooting straight up half a mile high; it was more water than the average person saw in their whole life.
For the next few minutes, the air was filled with shouts and whistles. It was impossible to make out what any one person was saying.
A deafening cheer went up as Marcus laughed and cried at the same time. He was not alone.
"Exhilarating, isn't it?" Jo asked with a grin.
"Yeah," Marcus laughed. "Let's go." Cautiously, they walked toward the spraying fountain.
Jocelyn held out her gloved hand and watched in awe as the precious water pooled in her palm.
To Marcus' astonishment, he identified several large chunks of the crust on the surface; the CDDs had done their job well. The black and gray, marbled grain of the exterior crust appeared indestructible, and it had been for almost a thousand years. But as Marcus stood there watching, the chunks dissolved right before his eyes.
"Grandpa Marcus! Grandma Jocelyn! Come see!" Nine-year-old Nathan yelled as he ran out the front door.
"I think we must," Jocelyn said with a grin to match his. He helped her up and they sauntered over to the door as quickly as their old bones would take them. Jocelyn got there first and gasped.
"What is it, Jocelyn?" Looking out at the scene before them, Marcus stood transfixed. Small flakes floated down from the heavens, blanketing the world in white.

This course aims to provide an understanding of the consumer decision-making process by integrating key theoretical perspectives embedded in psychological, sociological and economic principles. Specific goals for this course are to outline the links between consumer behavior research and marketing theory and practice, providing the related academic background, acquaint students with the factors which influence consumer behavior at different stages of the consumption process, and create awareness of the processes that organizations develop to understand consumer and buyer behavior.
This short course introduces the basic concepts and tools of Accounting and Finance to non-finance specialists enabling them to communicate effectively with departments of accounting and finance and also understand the financial implications of their decisions and actions. After the completion of this course participants should be able to understand what the objectives of the firm are, read and comprehend the basic financial statements produced by the firm, understand the difference between an expense and an investment, realize the importance of cash flows, access the financial health of the company, understand how the financial markets operate and how the value of a company is calculated, learn about the basic sources of finance, the cost of capital, the working capital, and the economic value added of the firm.
Today's business environment is characterised by abundance of information and increasing uncertainty and complexity. Against this background, analysing probabilistic/statistical information, understanding the relationship between business factors, evaluating risks and turning data into actionable knowledge are essential skills for competent management. The main objective of the course is to help participants assimilate statistical concepts as well as acquire skills in applying these concepts using modern software. Topics covered include descriptive statistics, probability distributions, sampling, hypothesis testing and regression analysis.
This course is designed to provide students with a fundamental understanding of the field of marketing research. Marketing research concerns the use of scientific methods to identify and define marketing opportunities and problems; generate, refine, and evaluate marketing actions; monitor marketing performance; and improve our understanding of marketing as a process. It concerns the collection and analysis of information in order to reduce uncertainty and provide insights into buying behavior, customer satisfaction, customer preferences, market segmentation, advertising evaluation, product testing, new product development etc. Students will study the central concepts of marketing research, as well as the tools and techniques used in this field to support good marketing decisions.
Brand management concerns the process of planning and controlling the firm's brands and their meaning so that they are aligned with consumer needs and meet corporate goals. This course examines both paradigms in brand management: the classical marketing paradigm that emphasizes the importance of developing strategies that enhance brand equity and endure through time as well as the hit marketing paradigm that emphasizes a short-term perspective in managing brands.The goals are to provide students with an understanding of the role of brands, how they are formed and acquire meanings, how they are managed and how they add value to consumers and the firm.
Marketing Strategy concerns the development and application of value-enhancing marketing strategies, utilized and executed in dynamic competitive environments. The focal point of this course is strategic marketing analysis and marketing planning. Students will gain considerable experience in the analysis of complex marketing decisions and learn the components and construction of a strategic marketing plan. In addition, students will be exposed to discussions on specific marketing problems, in a variety of situations. Finally, students will compete in a computer-based marketing strategy simulation and submit a business-level marketing plan.
Digital marketing is the use of digital technologies to create an integrated, targeted and measurable communication which helps to acquire and retain customers while building deeper relationships with them. Simply put digital marketing is where traditional marketing meets access platforms and communication tools (e.g., organizational websites, portals, search engines, blogs, email, instant messaging, cell phones, video games etc.). The objective of this course is to educate students for fulfilling careers in digital marketing. The course will cover topics such as information economics and the networked economy, online consumer behavior, trends in media consumption, the digital media landscape, online reputation, performance-based online advertising, social network marketing, search engine optimization, web analytics, and legal issues in online advertising.
The course provides with both advertising theories and a hands on understanding of the complete advertising process, from strategy development, identification of the "big idea," to execution, and evaluation. Such an approach will allow students to develop a critical understanding of advertising tactics that work, and those which are not effective, along with the reasons of failure. The learning objectives of this course are: - To generate an understanding of the nature and scope of advertising- To familiarize with the advertising tools and practices; - To raise awareness of the factors contributing to the success of advertising campaigns; - To provide working knowledge of the steps employed in the advertising process;- To allow for a hands on experience of the advertising process.
While many view traditional marketing as art and some view it as science, the new marketing increasingly looks like engineering i.e., a combination of art and science to solve problems. This course is about putting together important marketing concepts, data, analyses, and spreadsheet decision models to learn about customers and competitors and to design marketing plans. Marketing engineering is about computer assisted marketing analysis and planning. Upon completing the course students should be able to a) move from opinions-based decision-making (conceptual marketing) to data-based decision making, b) use spreadsheet software in order model important strategic marketing phenomena (Segmentation, Positioning, Valuing Customers etc.) and c) learn to work with market response models (marketing inputs, functions, and objectives).
Developing and selling products in other countries is a very way for sustaining business growth. However, marketing products and services across different countries requires a solid understanding of the local markets and an ability to adjust the marketing mix across such countries. International Marketing aims at providing managers with the tools necessary to analyze the international marketing environment considering the factors crucial for the successful development and sale of products and services abroad.
Digital marketing has revolutionized the marketing function and has brought about dramatic changes in the day to day activities performed by marketing managers. To better comprehend the profound implications of digital marketing revolution, modern marketing managers need to develop a good understanding of the actual workings of all applications used in digital marketing. This course provides an understanding of the most widely used digital marketing applications. Specific goals for this course are to: • Become familiar with the complete spectrum of digital marketing applications; • Gain an appreciation of the role of digital marketing applications in the broader array of marketing activities; • Understand how each digital marketing application can leverage the accomplishment of specific marketing goals; • Develop an adequate level of skills in handling all digital marketing applications.
Marketing analytics comprise the processes and technologies that enable marketers to evaluate the success of their marketing initiatives by measuring performance using important business metrics, such as ROI, marketing attribution and overall marketing effectiveness.

Der Auto Club Speedway (ehemals California Speedway) ist eine Motorsport-Rennstrecke in Fontana, Kalifornien, 65 km östlich von Los Angeles.

Geschichte

Am 20. April 1994 kündigten Roger Penske und Kaiser Steel den Bau einer Rennstrecke auf dem Gelände des stillgelegten Kaiser Steel-Stahlwerks in Fontana, Kalifornien, an. Die Strecke wurde 1997 in Betrieb genommen.

Der Kanadier Greg Moore starb 1999 bei einem Rennunfall, was eine Erhöhung der Sicherheitsvorkehrungen und Umbauten zur Folge hatte.

Daten
Die Strecke bietet 122.000 Zuschauern Platz. Der Superspeedway, als 2-Meilen-Tri-Oval mit leicht überhöhten Kurven, gilt nach der Pista di Nardò als zweitschnellste Rennstrecke der Welt. Daneben gibt es auf der Anlage einen Straßenkurs, eine Teststrecke und eine Bahn für Drag-Racing.

Rennserien

Neben der NASCAR, die mit der Cup Series, der Xfinity Series und der Camping World Truck Series hier fährt, gastierten auch Monoposto-Rennserien wie die Champ Car und die IndyCar Series auf dem Kurs. Der Straßenkurs im Infield wurde von der Grand American Road Racing Association und der japanischen Tourenwagenmeisterschaft genutzt.

Rekorde
Den Rundenrekord im Training hält Gil de Ferran mit 241,428 mph (388,5 km/h) aus dem Jahr 2000. Während des Rennens 2000 wurden durch Windschatten-Fahrten teilweise Geschwindigkeiten von über 400 km/h erreicht. Die höchste Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit in einem Rennen fuhr Sam Hornish junior mit 207,151 mph (333,4 km/h) beim 400-Meilen-Rennen von 2003. Beide Zahlen übersteigen die entsprechenden Rekorde des Indianapolis Motor Speedway deutlich.

6 September, Vienna — The German-Moroccan GFMD Co-Chairmanship in cooperation with the Governments of Philippines and Sweden held a stock-taking thematic workshop on the "GFMD's Contribution to the Global Compact on Migration (GCM)." The event saw the participation of more than 140 policymakers and practitioners in the field of international migration, representing 70 UN Member States and international organizations, civil society and the private sector.
The event was organized to consult with the GFMD Friends of the Forum on the key elements of the draft report containing GFMD's inputs to the GCM, drawn from the main recommendations of past GFMD Summit meetings. Another objective was to identify potential action areas for the GFMD in the GCM, based on its acquired decade-long and extensive expertise.
The opening of the workshop was led by Dr. Götz Schmidt-Bremme, German GFMD Ambassador who informed the Forum about the state of GFMD's draft contribution to the GCM and the next steps planned under the current Co-chairmanship. He reminded the participants that the Berlin Summit discussions upheld the value of the GFMD as an informal platform for open and constructive dialogue between governments and other stakeholders and that it should play an instrumental role in the context of the GCM process. There was also a consensus in Berlin to safeguard and further develop the GFMD's essential characteristics.
Representing the Philippines as co-convener, Ms. Sarah Lou Arriola, Undersecretary of the Office of Migrant Workers Affairs at the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), imparted her country's insights on the constantly evolving landscape of migration. The Philippine's engagement with the GFMD, she said, has allowed mainstreaming of migration into medium-term and long-term development plans at both national and local levels. For his part, Mr. Ola Henrikson, Director General for Migration and Asylum at the Ministry of Justice, challenged the participants to articulate what operational framework would be needed for the GCM to deliver on the international commitments made and to facilitate good practices on promoting safe, orderly and regular migration.
In her video message, UN SRSG Ms. Louise Arbour urged the GFMD to focus on concrete and actionable outcomes for the GCM and called on the states to strive for a Global Compact with real deliverables.
After the opening plenary, simultaneous working sessions were organized around the six GCM thematic clusters, as defined in the Modalities Resolution. Each session was chaired by a high-level government official. A GCM Rapporteur presented the main elements on the relevant topic, which were excerpted from the draft GFMD contribution. Delegates reflected on some guiding questions, e.g., how the GCM can facilitate sustainable implementation of commitments in international standards and frameworks; how can the GCM further advance relevant recommendations and good practices shared within the GFMD, and which current challenges, if any, require specific emphasis by the GCM?
In concluding the thematic workshop, Mr. El Habib Nadir, Secretary General of the Ministry in Charge of Moroccans Living Abroad and Migration Affairs, laid out four essential elements that require particular attention: (1) human rights should be at the heart of any migration governance; (2) focus should be on vulnerable migrants such as women and youth; (3) efforts must be strengthened to achieve the SDGs in the 2030 Agenda; and (4) follow-up and tracking mechanisms should be put in place to give the Global Compact an added value. He affirmed that the Global Compact presents us an opportunity to address these challenges and establish a global vision for human mobility—and that the GFMD has played and, under Morocco's leadership, will continue to play a critical role in this context.
The outcomes of the recently concluded GFMD Thematic Workshop will be integrated to the final report which will be shared with the GFMD Steering Group and Friends of the Forum for endorsement in November 2017. After which, the report will be handed over to the GCM co-facilitators and the UN SRSG Ms. Louise Arbour ahead of the stocktaking conference in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in December 2017.

CURIOSITY IMAGES
Transporting to Launch Pad
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Standing atop a payload transporter, the Atlas V rocket payload fairing containing NASA's Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) spacecraft rolls out of the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, beginning the move to Space Launch Complex 41. The fairing will protect the payload from heat and aerodynamic pressure generated during launch. MSL's components include a compact car-sized rover, Curiosity, which has 10 science instruments designed to search for evidence on whether Mars has had environments favorable to microbial life, including the chemical ingredients for life. The unique rover will use a laser to look inside rocks and release its gasses so that the rover's spectrometer can analyze and send the data back to Earth. Launch of MSL aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket is planned for Nov. 25 from Space Launch Complex 41 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

How will Russia overcome North Korean money laundering claims?
Russian financial institutions have been accused of not doing enough to stop North Korea money laundering funds obtained from cyberattacks on crypto exchanges - so what can the country do to combat this?
A recent report by the UN Security Council claims that North Korea stole several billion dollars through cyberattacks on cryptocurrency exchanges and banks to further finance weapons of mass destruction programs.
The report claims that North Korea used cyberspace to launch sophisticated attacks to steal funds and then laundered the money through Russia.
In almost 17 countries, 35 attacks against financial enterprises were recorded.
The US has also reportedly accused some Russian banks of assisting North Korea in evading international sanctions.
North Korea has been accused of organising attacks on large cryptocurrency exchanges in order to acquire foreign currencies and thus mitigate the effects of international economic sanctions.
Representatives of North Korea to the UN and Russian officials deny any involvement in these actions.
Cyberattacks and money laundering
Cyberattacks on cryptocurrency exchanges and subsequent money laundering make it impossible to seize the stolen money as it is very difficult to track.
The cryptocurrency industry is regulated far less than the traditional banking system, which makes the money laundering process easier for criminals.
Money laundering can negatively impact countries as it leads to currency leakage and affects the national currency's exchange rate.
All states are actively fighting the phenomenon of money laundering.
North Korea money laundering in Russia
According to New Europe, on June 19, the US sanctioned the Russian Financial Society for allegedly helping North Korea evade international economic sanctions by assisting a company linked to Pyongyang's primary foreign exchange bank.
Sigal Mendelker, the US Treasury's Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, said: "The Treasury continues to enforce existing US and UN sanctions against individuals and entities in Russia, and elsewhere, who facilitate illicit trade with North Korea."
Justin Urquhart Stewart, director at Seven Investment Management in London, told New Europe that North Korea allegedly uses deceptive tactics to launder money through Russia.
Urquhart Stewart claims that while Russian officials have taken some steps against North Korea, more still needs to be done.
"It's an interesting issue to see what action the authorities will take. The answer I suspect will be very little," he said.
The security of Russia's banking system has been called into question as a result of the accusations, and it seems more needs to be done by financial institutions to stop money laundering in the country.
Earlier this month, The Moscow Times reported that Danish banking giant Danske Bank is set to close its Russian branches and exit the country following allegations its Estonian branch was involved in a $230 billion money laundering scandal.
Money laundering laws in Russia
In Russia, the government introduced liability for money laundering in the criminal code (Article 174 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) to stop the illicit activities of criminal groups and dishonest businessmen.
For violation of the law regarding the illegal circulation of funds, the perpetrators will be severely punished.
The Russian government has tried many times to regulate the circulation of large amounts of cash through the country, but the bills were constantly postponed before being completely abandoned due to US sanctions.
In order for the country to remain solvent, the law on the regulation of cash was not adopted in Russia. However, there is a law called "On combating the legalisation (laundering) of proceeds from crime and the financing of terrorism".
If cash transactions exceed 600,000 rubles, Russian banks are required to verify and control this cash flow. The tax service may also request information from the bank if it needs to block the account due to non-payment of taxes.
However, the problem remains that cash is increasingly used for money laundering in Russia since the lack of strict control or any form of legislative framework makes this method a simple option for criminal activity in the country.

This solar-powered electronic calculator has a tan and gray plastic case and twenty-four plastic keys. Twenty-three keys are square; the addition key is rectangular. In addition to ten digit keys, a decimal point key, a total key, and four arithmetic function keys, the calculator has three memory keys, a change sign key, a square root key, a percentage key, and an on/clear key.
Behind the keyboard is the solar power cell. Text next to it reads: KMC 7500C. Above this is the eight-digit LCD display. It lights up and the calculator carries out calculations, but the results are not necessarily accurate. Text on the back of the calculator reads: ELECTRONIC CALCULATOR (/) POWER SOURCE SOLAR CELL (/) MADE IN TAIWAN. Unscrewing four screws makes it possible to lift off the back of the calculator. A mark on the circuit board reads: SD9-13.
According to records of Canadian trademarks, in 1982 Kmart Canada began using the trademark KMC for calculators and other devices sold in its stores. The trademark was registered in 1984 and discontinued in 1999. The KMC mark on the calculator indicates that the trademark is registered. No such trademark, as applied to calculators, is included in the U.S. registry of trademarks. The calculator came to the museum from Canada in 1988. Hence it seems likely that the calculator was distributed by Kmart Canada and made around 1986.


Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger praised those who have been working against windy conditions on the fire that's burned hundreds of homes in the Lake Tahoe area. He had some advice for Californians to prepare for fire season—particularly those who live on the edge of wildland areas.
State and local officials fielded questions about preparation in the Tahoe area for fire season—namely the reduction of brush and dead timber.
Some have criticized government agencies saying not enough has been done, and that there are too many restrictions on tree removal.

Taxing interview process pays off for job seekers

Nine people on the autism spectrum have secured IT jobs with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) in Brisbane through a new initiative called the Federal Talent Hub program.
Developed by Specialisterne Australia and supported by EPIC Assist, the program is designed to increase diversity and inclusion within ATO's workforce. With the successful pilot program now complete in Brisbane, ATO's Canberra office is set to follow suit.
Selecting nine successful candidates from a field of 74 applicants took around six weeks, with participants put through their paces at every turn.
The non-traditional interview and assessment process was deliberately designed to allow candidates to showcase their skills and abilities in a number of different ways. At one point, participants were tasked with building and programming a LEGO Mindstorms robot.
Peter Middleton was successful in scoring one of the roles, and says the experience has provided him with much more than an exciting new career.
"I was diagnosed with autism later in life, at age 44, and found participating in the program to be both monumentally challenging and extremely rewarding," says Peter.
"I came even further on my journey of acceptance of my diagnosis, and also found my 'tribe' and a place where I could 'just be'."
Peter says programs like these are so important for people with autism, many of who struggle in a workplace setting.
"I've struggled my whole life to find and keep employment. I had essentially given up [looking for a job], because success at work always seemed to be an insurmountable challenge," says Peter.
"But securing a job through this program means my employer is prepared for my differences, but they don't see my differences as being a bad thing. They are also willing to work with me to resolve any potential obstacles.
"It's such a relief to have the fact that I'm different out in the open. It feels like the playing field is finally level, and this is the first time I've felt valued," he adds.
EPIC Assist CEO Bill Gamack commended the ATO and Specialisterne for driving diversity and showing leadership in this space.
"We're proud to work with organisations that are supporting people on the autism spectrum to build the career they want and deserve," says Bill.
"This program reinforces what's possible when people with disability are given the opportunity to show what they're capable of."
Bill is hopeful that other employers are inspired to follow ATO's lead and implement similar initiatives in their workplaces.
"ATO have shown what's possible when disability is viewed not as a deficit, but as a difference. Because difference can be very valuable in a business environment," says Bill.
"There's not one way of doing things, and the sooner we recognise the potential of unique perspectives in a workplace, the better off we'll all be."

Q: Order of DNS resolvers or "exclusive" route adding in Mac OS X? I am working at a company where – due to several strange reasons – I have the following setup:

*

*Ethernet: is in a guest network and has access to the internet

*Wifi: is in a corporate network and has access to the intranet

*the adapter order is set, so that the ethernet is first

*route add is used to add the intranet routes I need (10.[4/6/1/39].x.x. etc.)

The problem now is that certain programs don't work, since they do not use IPs but named addresses. Consequently scutil --dns therefore has resolver #1 with external DNS servers, and then follows resolver #2 with the intranet DNS servers. (if I disconnect the cable and am in the Wifi corp only, the names are resolved just fine).
I thought of two possible solutions, but I don't know how to get them working:

*

*even though Wifi is the first adapter in order, I somehow switch the DNS resolver order so that intranet DNS is tried before internet DNS

*put the Wifi adapter in first place and then find an "excluding" route command, which does not say "send IP X over en0" but instead "send any IP not equal to X over en1"

Can somebody help me here?

A: Sounds like I have been working at the same company ;-)
Please find at the below link a Ruby script that you can adapt to do what Hennes describes as option 4), although it uses forwarding of DNS request instead of views. This should be easy to fix though.
https://github.com/simonair/pubcode/blob/master/multihome_setup/multihome_setup.rb
This script will use sudo as needed.
Only use it if you understand exactly what it does.
It is best to create a new Location using System Preferences > Network before you start experimenting with this script because this will allow you to undo any changes by switching back to the known-good Location.
What it will do:

*

*Enumerate all network interfaces and identify the one connected to the corporate network and the one connected to the other network based on their DEFAULT GATEWAYs' IP address (not the address assigned to the interface itself)

*Configure the built-in BIND DNS server to handle requests for both the corporate network and the Internet and forward them by domain. For example, example.com will be forwarded to the corporate name servers, whereas example.net will be forwarded to the other name servers.

*Establish routing to a list of subnets through the corporate interface, the rest through the other network

*Optionally, it will also initiate a VPN connection if configured properly.

You need to adapt the script to suit your needs.
Be aware that you need to call the script again with the argument restore once you disconnect from the corporate network, as otherwise all DNS requests will land at your local name server and it will not be able to resolve them outside your corporate environment.

A: I am not sure this is a proper full answer, but putting it in multiple comments seems a kludge.
1) Quick workaround:
Add the intranet names to the host file. (It is in /private/etc/hosts). This works if you only need access to a few servers and it is relative easy to do. It also feels like a kludge and if the server IPs ever change you will need to manually update your hosts file.
2) Assuming the DNS server on the intranet also revolves names on the Internet you can use only that DNS server. I deem this unlikely since you explicitly mentioned that the guest network has Internet access and the other to the intranet.  (Could be if the intranet has internet access but that is blocked via some firewall rules which do not block everything. E.g. not port 53).
3) Using both DNS servers (which is what you are trying to do) might not work.
I have no OS/X machine to test this on, but I recently learned the hard way that some operating systems do not query DNS servers in order, nor do they fall back to a secondary nameserver when the first one fails.  Instead they seems to use the the listed nameservers at random.
The result of that would be:
(order Internet DNS, intranet DNS)
Query host on internet -> works.
Query host on intranet -> Fail look up via DNS server on internet, give up rather then try next.
I do not know if this is the case on OS/X and I have no mac to test it on.
4) Local nameserver
(In bold because I think this is the best solution).
OS/X ships with BIND and it seems easy to enable it. The keyword you want to look for in BIND is views


VTFEdit is written in C++ .NET and such as requires the .NET runtimes to run. See the downloads page for more information.
My problem hasnt really got to do with the program itself (program is brilliant), basically when i create a vtf and use it in cs:source the whole image gets placed to the right a bit. So about 2% of the picture which should be on the right side appear on the left side.
This dosnt happen with other vtf's which ive downloaded.
Is it the version (7.0, 7.1, 7.2) or is it the reflectivity. Otherwise everything is exactly the same (in sense of properties) with the ones ive downloaded.
Can you email me the source image (the one you are importing into VTFEdit) and the .vtf file you generated so I can take a closer look?
says it not responding. I have the .net componet.
I have .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0 and the updates all installed, however, once downloaded VTFEdit it does not open and the error says that it is not configured properly and try reinstalling. I saw a comment about the same problem and they were told to go get .NET framework. I have already and still VTFEdit will not open can you please help me Nem. Do I need to get rid of all frameworks prior to 2.0 and only keep 2.0 ? I also DLd the nVidia pack with the Lib file that was recommended and still VTFEdit wont open, please help.
I have the exact same problem as Smiechu. I'm not trying to load TF2 VTFs tho. I am trying to load my own VTF that I made with Vtex to see if it worked.
How can I edit an image that has the Eight Bit Alpha turned on? I can send you the files to show what I'm talking about if you want. But when I look at the image in Vista's explorer bar, It looks different from the one I see in Paint.Net after I convert it with VTFEdit.
Right, I received a problem .vtf file two weeks ago, but I forgot and haven't yet had a chance to look at it. In Photoshop, you can edit the alpha channel by simply selecting it under the Channels tab (bottom right corner).
I don't know if Vista previews the alpha channel, but in VTFEdit, the Mask setting (View menu) lets you switch between the RGB channels and the RGB channels blended with a checkered background via the alpha channel (for previews).
I was wondering if it's possible to use vtflib to convert a vtf file to a jpg. What I'm looking for is something command-line that a php script could call then snarf up the jpg for display on a web page.
You can find out what decal is being used by a person on your server from within a sourcemod plugin, and the server saves it inside a .dat file. If you rename the .dat file to a .vtf file, you can open it with your photoshop plugin. What I want to do is write a plugin for our gameservers that will export a web page so that admins can see if any of the players are responsible for spraying pornographic or racist decals without having to be present in-game.
What does it mean, is it possible to fix it?
It sounds like the file is not a Valve Texture Format file. Not all files of the same extension share the same format. There is no fix for this.
At first i want to tell you VTFEdit is absolutly awesome, i use it since a while now and it really makes live (or at least converting textures for source) a lot easier.
I tried to create a spheremap (for reflection on a prop).
As far as i know, i would need to save it as a enviroment map, but no matter what i do, i cannot make it checking the flag for enviroment map.
The vtf plugin for Photoshop doesn't support enviroment maps, so maybe it's not working in VTFEdit, too.
Can you please tell me if it's possible to create enviroment maps (in that case a spheremap) with VTFEdit and if it is, how to do it?
Select six images that make up the cube map.
Select Generate Sphere Map to generate a sphere map from the six images.
The sphere map will be the seventh face in the .vtf. I belive you can also specify seven images if you want (the seventh one being the sphere map).
Thanx for the info, you're my hero.

PRINCETON, IN – Onsite Occupational Health and Safety, Inc. (Onsite OHS), today announced it that the final team members supporting the U.S. Government Ebola response will be returning home this month.
Operation United Assistance in Liberia was the government's contribution to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Various US agencies including the Department of Defense, Department of State, U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) contributed in the efforts.
"Onsite OHS was honored to be part of the U.S. response to one of the most challenging public health emergencies in recent history," said Kyle G. Johnson, President & Chief Executive Officer of Onsite OHS. "It is a testament to the abilities and quality of the clinical professionals that make up the Onsite OHS team."
Working with various clients globally, OHS mobilized medical supplies, personnel and equipment in September of last year.
