Somewhere in Montreal, eighty two years later, I am sitting in my workshop wondering how I can pull this little scenario off. I know Model Expo has a 1/16 Albatros model on the market but is it too large? How big a diorama would I have to build? What about the 1/16 scale figures? Where can I find all the research material? These and a hundred other questions popped into my mind.
Then I thought, why not make the hangar one self-contained unit acting as its own dust-proof case. I could open up the sides, the roof, and set the windows in plexiglass, thus allowing the scene to be viewed from all angles. I then searched for the 1/16 scale figures and found that both Tamiya and Dragon had many action figures available. I would however have to demote Field Marshall Rommell and put him in the Air Force and in the wrong war (hope he doesn't mind). The World War II Luftwaffe figure became a World War I pilot and a German Infantry figure became the mechanic with oily rag in hand.
Now, on to the model's workshop contents. While I could easily build the furniture from scratch, what about the tools, lathe, oil and gas cans, etc.? Doll house manufacturers sell many of these items in 1/12 scale and tools come in various sizes therefore the difference in scale was not a concern.
That being settled, it was on to the hangar.
How would I build it? Of course it would be made of wood, but where would I find all the miniature lumber without it costing me a fortune? Then my coffee habit finally paid off. Why not use wooden coffee stir sticks and maybe tongue depressors too? The local building supply store would provide the scale pine lumber for the studs and trusses. Problem solved. And so it went two retirement years and 1500 hours of shop time later and the project was finally completed.
Model Expo's Albatros D.V (MA1001) comes in a well packaged, sturdy cardboard box. The contents are well identified in individual plastic packets. The miniature lumber quality is excellent as are the laser cut parts on the plywood boards. The 47 page instruction booklet and 6 plan sheets are very well done but they do need a lot of careful study. The illustrations are clear, however, I do differ with the order in which the aircraft is constructed. They recommend building the wings and stabilizer first. I did the fuselage first. I find that having the fuselage completed gives me an added incentive to go on during the not so interesting tasks, such as building up the wing ribs, etc.
A lot of time was spent cleaning up the Britannia castings. Some of them were slightly bent and there was some pitting and rough spots on the metal. With careful re-alingning, filling with epoxy paste and sanding smooth, the problem was soon remedied. The only real problem was with the turnbuckles since many of mine were poorly cast. I probably got a bad batch.
The instructions suggest using the kit supplied metal colored thread for all the rigging. I, however, replaced this thread with .006 mm diameter music wire.
The fuselage is built on a kit supplied jig. Construction is easy if you follow the steps carefully. No major problems were encountered in fitting any of the wooden parts together. I used both wood glue and super glue. Some filing was required on the metal parts in order to make everything fit together properly.
If you want to stain the wood, I recommend that you do it before assembly. In fact, I even stained and sealed the wooden wing ribs before removing them from their laser-cut plywood boards. I used an alcohol-based permanent tan colored stain, Primacolor PM-70 (sand). I then spray lacquered the wood using Watco brand semi-lustre.
The wings and stabilizer went together easily by carefully following the plans.
The Mercedes 180 hp, 6 cylinder engine, is a kit in itself with over one hundred Britania castings. I did however find some of these parts a little difficult to handle, such as installing the small springs to the rocker boxes. Other than the usual de-burring of parts, the engine went together with super glue and five-minute two part epoxy.
All the metal parts throughout the aircraft were degreased, sealed and primed before painting. I used Windex ammonia window cleaner as a degreaser. It is important to remove any residue mold release agent (used during the manufacturing process) or any oil from your hands. I sealed the metal using spray lacquer or brushed it on using a solution of 2/3 laquer and 1/3 laquer thinner mixed in a small jar.
I sprayed or brushed on a thinned down coat of Gesso over the laquer (50% water 50% Gesso). Gesso provides a good tooth for paint to adhere to and has been used by artists and craftsmen for centuries. I use the Liquitex brand 5308, available in any art supplies store.
I made my own pilot's seat from 1/32 plywood. I bore out lightening holes in the back of the seat and made a seat cushion out of Kleenex tissues. I took a stack of tissues about ¼" thick, drew the seat pattern on the tissues and cut it out with an x-acto knife. Using a mix of 25% carpenter's glue and 75% water, I soaked the seat cushion thoroughly and then put it in the microwave oven for approximately 30 seconds. The cushion puffed up into a nice looking seat which I then painted to look like leather (Ill. 1).
There is one area at the bottom of both forward cabane struts that I thought looked bad. I found them to be obviously out of scale, so I covered these areas with oil stained rags made out of the glue and water soaked tissues. I drapped these tissue rages so that they look weighted and dried them in place using a hair dryer (Click the thumbnail to view Illustration 2).
The Albatros D.V is well represented in this kit with only two areas in question. The kit was missing a small auxiliary strut that goes from the leading edge of the lower wing and then back to the forward inter plane strut. The other is in the rigging (Ill. 3). There seems to be another anti-drag wing wire going from the nose of the fuselage to the top of the outer wing interplane strut.
Because the aircraft in the diorama is being depicted as "under construction", the amount of details you put in is optional. However, I prefer to put as much detail as possible and I decided to partially skin the monocoque type fuselage using 1/32" plywood and simulating the screws with dots from a grafite HB pencil. I hand carved a cherry and walnut laminated wooden propeller and tail skid using the kit supplied items as patterns.
The hangar is made completely of wood. The frame was constructed much as you would a real hangar. Joists, studs and trusses are of cut-to-scale pine lumber and the floor and walls are made of wooden coffee stir sticks and tongue depressors whose ends have been cut off at 90o. Everything was glued together using Lepage's carpenters wood glue. The simulated nails are ½" sequin pins available from any dressmaker's shop. The windows are 1.5mm sheet plexiglass sandwiched between two built up window frames, thus avoiding having to cut individual window panes. The lighting is a standard 12.6 V (1.2 amp) system, wired the same as a model railroad layout, using a transformer for power. I used amber model railroad bulbs and some old Christmas bells as lampshades (See Shep Paine's "How to Build Dioramas", pages 120 – 126).
I weathered all of the wood in the following manner. The stir sticks are made of hardwood (birch, I believe). In order to soften the wood to make it more porous, I boiled the sticks for 15 minutes, then on the dry, raw wood, I painted washes of a mix of Nimbus Grey tinted with a small touch of Payne's Grey. When these were dry (I used a hair dryer to speed up the process), I brushed on one or two very thin washes of Raw Umber. Using an old stiff bristle toothbrush and a very small amount of the same thinned Raw Umber paint, I finger-flicked (my term) a fine spray of paint over everything to give it a weathered look (Ill. 4). This same method was used to weather the hangar furnishings. In order to make the blueprints on the tabletop, I photocopied a rigging plan of the aircraft to scale and then lightly washed Ultramarine Blue paint on the drawing side of the plans. I then rolled them up to fit the tabletop.
The heating stove is a 1/12" scale Chrysnbon Inc. Furniture Kit F260. The legs were cut off in order to bring the stove to 1/16" scale. I painted it flat black using Carbon Black.
Other than modifying the uniforms from World War II to World War I, there were no major changes to the positionning of the figures' anatomy. The uniforms were altered by simply cutting off unwanted parts with a number 11 x-acto knife or building up some areas with A + B epoxy putty. It was mainly a process of simplifying and changing the style of the uniforms.
The figures were both glued and their feet pinned to the hangar floor. Shepperd Paine thoroughly covers figure modification and figure painting techniques in his book on "How to Build Dioramas". Figures used were Tamiya's Rommel Kit 36305, Tamiya's Luftwaffe Pilot Kit 36302 and Dragon's Signaler Kit 1608.
My primary objective in doing this diorama was to tell a story - to capture a moment in time, to take the viewer back to a different era and thereby create a three-dimensional work of art. It was my intention to have the aircraft as the focal point. This is the reason why I left it in pretty much pristine condition in contrast to the general griminess of the hangar. All the figures are positioned looking towards the aircraft in a relaxed stance in order not to draw attention away from the main subject.
The placement of the ladders, saw horses and furnishings is such that nothing is placed 90o to each other. Try to avoid lining things up in too much of an orderly fashion.
The diorama was lit much like a stage. The lighting emphasizes the aircraft itself which downplays its surroundings.
The use of color should also be taken into consideration. Grey is a neutral color and does not draw one's attention. Red and green are opposites on the artist's color wheel and therefore can be used to create color harmony.
In my work I am not a rivet counter, however I do like to have lots of details to keep the piece interesting. I try to be as accurate as possible, however I will use artistic licence for effect. Before and during a project, a lot of my time is spent researching the aircraft, hangar types, uniforms, tools, etc.
In retrospect, I am quite satisfied with the results of this, my first aircraft diorama. Many thanks go to Shep Paine for his inspiration and to Mark Miller for his wonderful website on the Albatros.
I am a retired pilot and flight operations officer. I spent twenty eight years in aviation doing everything from sweeping hangar floors to flying instructor.
In the 1960's, I helped my father restore a full size 1929 Curtiss-Wright Travelaire bi-plane D4D (CF-JLW) which now resides at the Reynolds Museum in Alberta.
I have spent the last seventeen years in the visual arts, teaching woodcarving and making decorative birds of prey sculptures.
During my working years, as a hobby, I constructed a 1/72" scale model of H.M.S. Victory over a fifteen year period and 6,000 hours of shop time.
I have been married to the same women for 39 years as only she (Micheline) could put up with me and my hobbies.
I presently have a Newport 28-1/16" diorama underway and am also working on a Wright Brothers Flyer. I hear through the grapevine that Model Airways has a 1/16" scale Jenny in mind, Hmmm! Now if I can only keep this 62 year old body in shape!
There is no glory in war but there is honor. This aircraft model is dedicated to those airmen of all nations who fought honorably in aerial battles of the past, in the hope that there will be no more.

James Young's 1948 Earls Court Motor Show car
The first of just three streamlined 'New Look' two-door saloons built
Original chassis, engine, and body
Accompanied by a report from Bentley historian Diane Brandon
Classic Car Club of America (CCCA) Full Classic
World War II and its various preliminary conflicts, beginning in the mid-1930s, disrupted European automobile production for nearly a full decade. When the skies and land finally calmed in 1946, cars had been out of production so long that exactly what the new ones would look like was up in the air; stylists and coachbuilders were willing to try basically any new idea and submitted various designs for public approval.
James Young offered up the 'New Look,' an aptly named striking, ultra-streamlined saloon on the Bentley Mark VI chassis, with fully integrated fenders, covered rear wheels, and little excess chrome trim. Only three two-door examples of the design, no. C10M, were produced.
The car offered here, chassis no. B495CD, was exhibited on James Young's stand at the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show. It caused a considerable sensation and was featured in many of the motoring magazines of the time. After the show it was delivered to Ronald Strauss, of the British brokerage house Strauss, Turnbull & Company.
In 1955, the car was purchased by the famous racing driver and dealer, Duncan Hamilton, who sold it to Thomas Wittle & Sons, a well-known manufacturer of fan belts in Warrington. Much of the present restoration was completed in 1985, reportedly at a cost of £36,000, after which it was used for a couple of years. Following many years on display it has been extensively freshened by the Calumet Collection, with the interior wood polished and other extensive detailing and mechanical work performed.
Fabulous details are prominent throughout, including front wing windows operated by small turn handles, as well as exquisitely finished rear quarter windows that swivel open for ventilation. The 'sunshine roof' is present and functional, as-original, but now operates manually rather than by an electric motor. The door pockets accommodate sets of period beverage glasses and a flask. Wonderful original touches include the Lucas driving light, Bentley B70 headlamps (original to the car), unusually low-mounted trafficators, and incredibly delicate, beautifully finished bumper guards. Full, correct sets of road and hand tools are of course provided, along with other documentation and a written report from noted historian Diane Brandon.
The 'New Look' marks the most audacious post-war styling from James Young – the birth of a new era in streamlined design, courtesy of one of the UK's greatest coachbuilders.

Balance Cost Efficiency, Functionality To Decide Correct Lighting Options
By Casey Laughman, Managing Editor Lighting
OTHER PARTS OF THIS ARTICLEPt. 1: Managing Multiple Lighting Options With One Control SystemPt. 2: This PagePt. 3: Multiple Types Of Lighting Can Complicate Daylighting EffortsPt. 4: Showcase Products: LEDs
With fluorescents, you can adjust levels by on/off switching or dimming. But they often present a choice between cost efficiency and functionality, says Denise Fong, principal, Candela Lighting.
"The switching off and on doesn't really work for most people, because it's too much change, but dimming is pretty pricey with fluorescent systems," she says. "So people did it if code required it, but otherwise it didn't happen very much.
"With LEDs, because they're generally easier to dim, and the dimming drivers are a standard part of the fixture, it's a lot easier to do it. So you just have to connect it to a photo sensor and make sure it gets commissioned, and you're ready to go."
To deal with these differences, start with some information gathering. Take a look at all the types of spaces you will be putting lighting or controls in, and ask yourself what is really needed in that space. Do you need dimming capability in the lobby, or are set light levels OK? Are on/off switches good enough in the conference rooms, or do you need occupancy sensors to prevent the lights from being left on? In stairwells, can you do 50 percent controls that ramp up to 100 percent when motion is detected?
After that, start looking at what types of lighting might best fit the needs. Unlike fluorescents, you don't have to worry about possibly shortening the lifespan of LEDs by regularly switching or dimming them, according to Fong, so 50 percent controls that have to jump up to 100 percent on a regular basis would most likely call for LEDs. However, in an environment that can get excessively hot, another type of lighting option may be better to avoid overheating.
Then lay out the spaces, types of lighting, and control needs on a matrix with different control options and their capabilities. While this may seem like a lot of work up front, it will save headaches when the system comes online, Fong says.
"The systems themselves, in terms of planning, can get to be fairly complex, but the goal is from an operational standpoint to make it something that your grandmother or mine could operate," she says.
Consider Energy Efficiency
Just about any new or retrofit lighting application is going to have energy efficiency as one of its concerns, for reasons ranging from knocking a few dollars off the bottom line to full-scale demand response programs to code requirements. The dimming capability promised by most LEDs is a definite point in their favor; whether it's individual control, daylight harvesting, or demand response, there are a number of reasons to need to be able to dim the lights.
"A lot of these things, depending on what part of the country you're in, are code requirements now," Fong says. "But even in places where they're not, if people are going to use LEDs anyway, it really doesn't cost any extra to get that extra level of control as long as they plan for it as part of the design."

Wednesday, June 20, 2011 will go down in history as the day that was the beginning of the end for President Barack Obama's presidency. With the president's execution of executive privilege regarding United States Attorney General Eric Holder's "Fast and Furious" gun-walking scandal, Obama has more than raised the curtain of doubt regarding his self-proclaimed transparent administration.
The purpose of executive privilege is to keep information that could be a threat to national security under lock and key. There are times, unfortunately, that a president orders his executive privilege power to hide incriminating evidence against himself or his administration for the sake of getting away with breaking laws.
Many questions are raised about "Fast and Furious" that could easily have been answered by Eric Holder simply following through with his promise to release subpoenaed documents to the United States Congress. The Congress needs to see the documents to comprehend the trail of events which led to U.S. guns ending up in the hands of Mexican drug cartels. The guns were found in the possession of persons who committed massive murders in Mexico and, quite unbelievably, the murder of an American border patrol agent.
These deadly criminal occurrences deserve total explanation – complete answers – but Attorney General Holder has now refused to give the documents that tell the story. Additionally, there are contradictions among the dates in which Holder said he knew some information surrounding the "Fast and Furious" case and when he said he didn't. These contradictions result in no less than lying to the U.S. Congress and are aptly alleged to be acts of perjury.
Now that President Obama has completely entrenched himself in Holder's controversy, the scrutiny of what Obama said and when he said it is emerging as well. Like Holder's statements, Obama's statements – in which he previously said he knew nothing – don't add up to future statements in which he indicated he did know some information related to the case.
The withholding of documents and the order of executive privilege strongly gives the appearance that both men are attempting to cover up wrongdoing. Obama is passing up a perfect opportunity to show transparency in his presidency. The natural assumption is that the cost to his presidency is too great for the truth to be unveiled.
Those who are calling "Fast and Furious" nothing less than "Watergate-esque" are right on the mark. The comparisons of "Fast and Furious" to former President Richard M. Nixon's Watergate scandal are incredible. The first comparison to come to mind is that those who supported Nixon and his administration were quick and persistent in saying that Nixon was innocent – without basis for their beliefs. Those who insisted that he was innocent without questioning only delayed justice being served.
In the past year, those who support Obama and his administration are also very quick and persistent in saying that Obama is innocent – without basis for their beliefs. Again, not allowing questions to be asked and not demanding answers are only delaying justice.
The proof of the case exists in the hundreds of pages of documents which Holder refuses to show to Congress, and the president has endorsed Holder's so-called cover-up by invoking executive privilege.
Obama knows that executive privilege is a non-transparent and questionable move as he has strongly criticized such actions previously when they were administered by former President George W. Bush. As an Illinois senator, Obama spoke vehemently against executive privilege.
As it stands now, the United States' House of Representatives committee is to be applauded for having voted Holder in contempt on Wednesday. Next week, the full House will vote on the matter as well – with likely the same outcome. The matter does not need to go to the Senate.
Were there a crystal ball regarding Obama and "Fast and Furious," there would likely be a vision depicting the end of the Obama presidency – preceded by a number of presidential pardons. Hopefully, the "Fast and Furious" crisis will be resolved within the next five months so that the nation won't be dragged down via another president's chaotic Watergate-esque term.

What is your salvage parts bottleneck? Mine, for the bombers, is mechanical parts. I figure that probably different plane classes have different shortages. Another way to encourage flying different classes and not specializing like I do.
My theory was wrong since I only fly bombers and am also blessed with bunches of air frame parts and a scarcity of mechanical parts. I thought for sure it would be different for different classes of planes.
I think it's more related to the choice of equipment and the materials required with the enhance/calibration.
So what equipment are you flying with mostly to score more mech? because I've been playing in mostly fighters and bombers, but still seem to be hurting on Mech parts most of the time.
Fighters typically fitted with light weight wings and engine parts, and gun sights.

LF and MR, with some HF thrown in for good measure.
For me it's flight instruments, they're needed for everything and I've only been getting them in very small numbers.
Material bottlenecks are down to your equipment setups. Mine are both mechanical parts and heat-resistant parts. The former because nearly everything I have requires tons to enhance, and the latter due to its relative rarity along with a medium-high demand for them on the equipment I use.
Flight instruments seem to be needed all around in later uogrades, as much as mechanical parts.

Cat On A Hot Tin Roof is an American film about an alcoholic ex-footballer who alienates his wife, but soon begins to open up when his father, who is dying of cancer, returns home.
Based on the play by Tennessee Williams, who also penned A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof is a captivating and impressively genuine theatrical drama. It may seem a little melodramatic at times, but the core of the drama is entirely honest, while the performances are equally grounded despite a few moments of theatrics.
The first thing I want to get out of the way is that Cat On A Hot Tin Roof is nowhere near as good as A Streetcar Named Desire. The story doesn't quite have the emotional intensity of Streetcar, and this cinematic adaptation lacks the potent atmosphere of the film version of Williams' best-known play.
Saying that, however, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof isn't the same as A Streetcar Named Desire, and shouldn't really be put up against it just because it's from the same playwright. Both stories and films share similarities, mostly a theatrical nature as well as a contained setting, but there's more to say about Cat On A Hot Tin Roof.
While it certainly isn't an exhilarating emotional rollercoaster, this film does manage to deliver gripping character drama without ever going overboard. Being based on a play, it can be easy to let stage theatrics creep in where they're not always welcome on the big screen, but Cat On A Hot Tin Roof does well to balance both its theatrical origins and its function as a film.
In that, we see striking theatrical performances from the cast – Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman in particular – balanced with an eye for the more genuine heart of this story. It's a tale about a dysfunctional family struggling to cope with tragedies in the past and in the future, and the film always manages to keep that theme of family front and centre.
Though secondary arcs about romance, redemption and recriminations do come into play, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof is first and foremost a drama about family, and in keeping the story contained both in its physical and narrative scope, it remains fully focused on the real drama at hand.
As a result, the movie is very dialogue-heavy, and doesn't lean on atmosphere quite as much as A Streetcar Named Desire. That might be a good or bad thing depending on your view, but for me, it's one of this film's weaknesses.
Although things do ramp up in the latter stages as the sweaty, humid Southern night steps in, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof is at times rather unvarying throughout, never quite taking the most dramatic moments of its story to the heights they arguably deserve.
Striking the balance between genuine and melodramatic is difficult, but there are moments when this film does play things a little too safe, and arguably misses out on what could have been a much sweatier, more intense familial drama, with a rollercoaster of emotions bubbling strongly beneath the surface.
That means that Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, at least in the first half, isn't quite as exhilarating as it could have been, although the drama in the latter half brings in a more palpable atmosphere and intra-family tension that makes things all the more gripping.
Overall, I liked this movie. It's not quite on the level of the best film adaptation of a Tennessee Williams play (Streetcar is a masterpiece), but it does still have gripping drama and fantastic performances throughout.
Genuine where it needs to be and taking care to avoid unnecessary melodrama, it's a well-made and measured take on a very theatrical story, although it arguably lacks the palpable atmosphere and intensity that its plot deserves. So, that's why I'm giving Cat On A Hot Tin Roof a 7.5.

Home > Cancer Resources > Coping With Cancer > How Will We Get Through This? > Feelings > Are You Feeling Any of These Things?
Looking at this list of feelings that you may or may not have might be helpful in realizing others have been where you are now and have felt similarly. You might realize that you can feel good about many of the ways things have been going and how you are dealing with them.
of my child dying, being lonely or unhappy, being in pain; the future; my child feeling/being different from other kids; my child missing out on important parts of childhood; being shut out; not have the answers my child needs; not having the patience my child needs; of losing my faith; that my spouse and I won't be able to communicate well during this crisis; that my marriage might not be strong enough to survive this crisis; that I might not be strong enough to survive this. You are not alone.
that this is happening to my child/our family, at God/the world for letting this happen, that this is disrupting our family life, that this is disrupting my life, it is difficult for me/my spouse to work, family/friends aren't helping as much as I wish they were, my employer isn't being as flexible as I want, everything is so expensive at the hospital, we don't have money to go where I want to take my child, my child is not getting all the care he/she needs.
my child is not getting well, my other children are suffering and I can't be there for them as much as I wish, this will cause physical harm to other family members, I will just run out of energy, about losing my job, how my child will react to being sick for so long, about my child losing so much school, my other children are angry that I am missing important things in their lives.
despite having many people around, I often feel alone with the pain of my child's illness, my spouse and I really can't talk about it yet, this is happening only to our family, I do not want to show my feelings; I do not feel I can talk to anyone about how I feel, no families around us have ever had to deal with something like this, my parents just get more worried if I talk to them and I worry for their health, when I do talk to friends they do not really understand how deep this goes, because I do not speak English well and do not feel I can even talk to other parents at the hospital very well, I do not know or trust the hospital staff yet.
living in the hospital but feel I cannot complain as I need to be with my sick child; when I am away from the hospital, I worry about my child there; when I'm at the hospital, I worry about things at home and/or work.
somehow I gave this illness to my child, I did not take my child to the doctor sooner, I did not argue more with the doctor when he said it was just a cold, I did not feed my child organic food, sometimes thinking I just want to get away from all this, I sometimes snap at my child, I take out some of my frustration on the hospital staff, I get mad at my spouse for not doing things the way I would do them, my spouse and I seem to be fighting so much, I turn to having a drink when I am upset, I am a smoker and worry this contributed to my child getting cancer.
good medical care available, good friends and family who have rallied around us, my child seems to be doing OK with treatment, science has led to possible cures for children with cancer, kindness of the medical staff (most of them!).
asking people for help in ways I never have before, needing to have neighbors and friends take my other children to school and do things I usually do for them, people now know more about our family than I wish they did, crying sometimes when I wish I wouldn't but just can't help it; getting angry sometimes and saying more than I wish I did because I am just so tired and scared, I'm not coping with stress like I usually can, not always understanding or remembering all that the doctors say because I am so exhausted and overwhelmed, my child not being as sick as another child in the hospital.
how things work in the hospital- who to ask for what, how to get things done, where to be when-home or hospital, how to help my kids when I am so worried myself, what foods to give my child; my spouse and I don't seem to feel the same things at the same time about our child's illness, what is happening in our family, whether I can keep my job or not, how we will pay our bills, if everything will ever be all right again.
sometimes, I just want to leave the hospital and not come back for a while, I would like to turn the clock back and not have such big things to worry about that I have so little control over, my spouse and I could talk better about our sick child, I just want to get a good night's sleep, I just want to go for a walk and not think about cancer.
of friends and family members with healthy children, people who have more support here in the hospital from family nearby, parents whose children seem less sick than mine, parents whose children are already finished with treatment, parents who speak English better than I do, families that are not divorced.
times before my child got sick, an afternoon alone with my other child, a quiet day, a day outside the hospital, sleeping in my own bed, a day when I am not so scared, a date with my spouse, going for a walk and feeling good, sunshine.
not feeling I really understand the plan for my child's care, who is really in charge of my child's care, having someone I trust and know like I know our pediatrician, many different staff taking care of my child, cramped spaces in the hospital, no privacy, seeing my child uncomfortable and not knowing what to do, everything!
worry, practical concerns about managing at home when I am not there, trying to work when I want to be at the hospital, so many people wanting my attention, people wanting to help me and so little energy to tell them how to, love for my sick child and fear about what the future holds, financial concerns.
You are not alone. These are all normal feelings.


The company, which gives most of its workers tiny houses in lieu of desks, had about 20 employees in 2012. Headcount now exceeds 60. Officials think that can grow another 50 percent before DeveloperTown's 22,000-square-foot hub, formerly a warehouse, runs out of room for houses.
And that might happen in a year or two, they said.
DeveloperTown brought in revenue last year of $8.2 million. It's been growing revenue about 40 percent annually over the past five years, a rate that far exceeds what leaders expected when they founded the company in 2010.
The brisk pace has been largely fueled by a fateful decision in 2013 to pursue large customers.
DeveloperTown sells software and design services to other companies. It started out focusing mainly on startups, taking cash or equity stakes as payment for help creating a web or mobile application, for instance.
The "What do you do?" conversation morphed into a discussion about an IT project underway at that company, and the official expressed interest in seeing how DeveloperTown could help. Follow-up discussions led to DeveloperTown's signing a $1 million contract to assist with that project, which involved a mobile application and a back-end system that capitalized on patented technology.
DeveloperTown had done business with large companies before that deal, Cloran said, but hadn't made a concerted effort to target that work, which represented only about a quarter of revenue.
Today, large clients represent 85 percent of revenue.
One reason for the growth is corporations' hunger to innovate in an increasingly digital world. Startups and other nimble outfits are disrupting businesses that have "legacy business models and legacy technologies," said Danielle McDowell, executive director of The Speak Easy co-working space, who's familiar with DeveloperTown in part because the organizations have adjacent space.
Such companies are trying to avoid losing market share to innovative competitors. And they're seeking to hold on to employees who expect digital experiences that match what they've become accustomed to in their personal lives.
The latter was the case with Indianapolis-based Republic Airways Holdings, which tapped DeveloperTown in late 2014 to build a mobile app for its 4,200 flight crew members. The app allowed crew members to access work itinerary information—flight assignments, lodging reservations—in real time.
Before the app, crew members had to call a corporate hotline and wait for someone to read their itineraries. Severe weather and high call volumes made that wait longer.
Matt Koscal, Republic's chief administration officer, said the company knew it wanted a custom-built application instead of something off the shelf. As it would be with any new vendor, Republic initially was concerned about adoption risk—whether employees would use the app—and vendor risk—whether an agency with no aviation experience could deliver the right product on time and under budget.
Those concerns didn't last. "In my 20 years of experience, this is the one IT project that has had the quickest success in the shortest amount of time," Koscal said, noting the adoption rate for the app is more than 90 percent.
DeveloperTown officials said a few key hires put it in prime position to target large clients. In late 2012, it brought on Randy Fisher as design partner and Julie Desutter as engagement manager, and in 2013 it acquired Nick Wangler as director of marketing strategies by buying local marketing firm New Ink.
Fisher, an ex-ChaCha executive, helped drive the importance of design and user experience. Desutter, previously a director at Liberty Mutual Insurance, helped systematize DeveloperTown's somewhat loose practices. Wangler brought market-validation expertise.
DeveloperTown still has its challenges. One of the biggest is persuading corporations on the fence about buying versus building software to take the plunge to build. One way it makes that case is by hosting "Discovery Days," a data-gathering and discussion session about areas in which a company can innovate. The sessions cost up to $5,000, and DeveloperTown applies it to any follow-up work.
Even as DeveloperTown zeroes in on big clients, company officials want to be sure not to lose the startup energy and vibe. This is part of the reason the company continues to serve startups, even though that business has hardly grown the past several years.
And it recently began investing profits into a new company called DT Starts, which doesn't collect consulting revenue but rather creates tech products with other entrepreneurs and brings them to market as joint ventures.


For Kristie's project pitch on 'E-Sports' I could relate to this topic massively as my love for e-sports is huge. A question still surrounds how she will post such a massive amount of content so often. For Tiana's idea however, I focused my feedback more on the delivery of her digital artefact idea, suggesting that maybe a podcast isn't the best was to share it, however could be one of many ways to deliver it. Lastly Nicola's idea was excellent and I let her know that through my feedback. However there were some questions surrounding the clarity of the idea to the wider audience, such as people unfamiliar with the internet.
I tried to approach each assignment with the utmost respect, starting my review with the positives and what stood out for me the most in there idea. I then followed that up with constructing criticism, where I suggested where to improve some if the concepts of their idea that they already had. I ended my feedback with things that I believe were missing from the presentation, but also provided the questions they need to answer. I did this because it would be most helpful for them moving forward especially when thinking about their Beta presentations.
Understanding the marking criteria was definitely something important when considering the feedback you wish to provide your peers. For each digital artefact presentation I reviewed, I made sure I watched the videos a minimum of a couple times each to ensure that I had clarity of the idea. I then critically analysed ad researched the concept before writing my comments.
For part two of the assignment, I believe I must not be scared to be even more critical of the concepts I am reviewing. For some reason it is almost an uncomfortable feeling giving feedback to people who are mostly of the same age group as myself, but also because they are peers of mine in class. However, it is most likely something that everyone could relate too.
There are many good pitch ideas among this subjects students, thus critically analysing them was far from a chore. However I believe in part two of this assessment, I will have to further research there ideas and provide more in depth feedback. I could also talk more about and critically analyse what their project pitch's lacked. By giving them these types of suggestions, this would have helped enhance their overall project.

HomeSOHRAB and RUSTAM- The Tragic story
Rustam was the king of Zabulistan and a trusted helper of the Iranian emperors. One day Rustam went hunting to his favourite hunting ground on the border between Iran and Turan. Tired, he went off to sleep leaving Raksh to graze on his own. Some soldiers of the king of Samangan saw a handsome horse roaming about and with great difficulty 8-10 soldiers overpowered the horse and took him to the king's stable expecting a handsome reward for capturing such a beautiful horse.
When Rustam woke up, and did not seem Rakhsh, he realised that something was amiss. Moving around, he saw marks of a struggle, and on following the footmarks of the horse and the people, he reached Samangan city. Word soon spread that a distraught Rustam was in Samangan, and it was not long before the king of Samangan sent for Rustam.
On reaching the palace, Rustam told the king about his lost horse and the king assured him all help possible to find his steed. However, till that was done, he asked him to enjoy his hospitality to which Rustam readily agreed.
A feast was ordered in Rustam's honour, after which Rustam went to sleep. When two-thirds of the night had passed, Rustam was woken up by a creek of his door. E saw a beautiful maiden entering his room with a maid. She told Rustam that she was tehmina, the princess of Samangan and since long she loved the great Rustam on account of his immense deeds of bravery. She requested Rustam to marry and him and assured Rustam of her loyalty.
Rustam too was smitten by the beautiful and wise Tehmina. He sent for a wise man who conveyed the desire of the two to get married to the king. The king too was very happy at this happy tiding and a laish traditional marriage was arranged for the two.
Rustam stayed in Samangan for a few weeks. His Rakhsh too was found. Rustam spent some loving days with Tehmina but soon realized that it was time for him to leave. When Rustam informed Tehmina about hi departures, she informed him that she was carrying their child. Rustam was overjoyed at this news but he had to go. He gave a gemstone to Tehmina, requesting her to tie it in the hair, if the child was a baby girl, and on the forearm if the baby was a boy. Then with ha heavy heart, Rustam ascended on his steed and bade her a tearful farewell.
Birth of Sohrab
In due course of time, Tehmina gave birth to a cherubic baby boy, and name him Sohrab. The child, like his father, was a big, handsome baby. As he grew up, he kept inquiring with his mother about the identity of his father, but the mother always managed to evade the answer.
When Sohrab came into his teens, Tehmina was unable to keep off his persistent queries about his father and ancestry. She finally confided to him and revealed that he was the son of the world renowned Hero Rustam, the grandson of Zal and the great grandson of Sam. To further attest the truth to the almost unbelieving son, she showed some of Rustam's effects like his dagger and some jewels and gave them to Sohrab.
Sohrab was jubilant on knowing his magnificent ancestry. He asked his mother, why she had kept it a secret from him for so long.
The mother revealed that she feared that the father may call him for warfare and the son may prefer to go to him to train in the martial arts, and she would have been left lonely and heartbroken. She was living without her husband, she did not want to live without her son. Hence she had hidden the fact of the identity from both the father and the son.
She further cautioned Sohrab against the treacherous Afrasiyab and his army and asked to stay away from them.
Sohrab was bubbling with ambition. Unaware of the ways of the world, the young and immature youth, overconfident of his strength and ability, immediately declared that he would garner a huge army, defeat King Kae Kaus of Iran and instate his father as the king and his mother as the queen of Iran.
Sohrab goes to Iran
With the help of Turanian king Afrasiyab, Sohrab gathered an army and went towards Iran to search for his father.
All was going well for King Kae Kaus when he received a letter from Gazdam, the care-taker of the fort of Sapid, which was on the border between Iran and Turan. A young lad of 14 by the name of Sohrab, who hailed from Turkistan, had come with the army from Turan. He was creating havoc and was unstoppable. His facial features resembled Rustam and he seemed to be of the family of Nariman.
Hazir, son of Gudarz, who was the custodian of the fort, was defeated and imprisoned by
sohrab within the blink of an eye. Gazdam requested for instant help from the king, dispatched a messenger at night through a secret route and he himself with his family fled the fort at night. The next morning Sohrab entered the fort without any difficulty or opposition.
When King Kae Kaus received Gazdam's message, he realised the urgency of the situation and immediately called a conference of his trusted warriors Toos, Keshvad, Gudarz, Giv, Gurgin, Behram and Farhad and appraised them of the situation. It was unanimously decided in the conference that Rustam was the only person who could contain the might of Sohrab and save the Iranians, and so they selected Giv to be urgently sent to Zabulistan to summon Rustam.
King Kae Kaus sends for Rustam :
King Kae Kaus prepared a hasty letter and dispatched it to Rustam. In the letter, he first lauded the services of Rustam and his family to Iran, and then requested him to urgently come to the aid of his country. He dispatched Giv and advised him to come back immediately with Rustam without even waiting to rest. Giv immediately set off for Zabulistan and did not wait anywhere on the way either for eating or resting.
On reaching Zabulistan, he gave the urgent message of summons, but Rustam was not willing to go immediately, as he believed that he was not a servant of the king to go at his beck and call. He asked Giv to wait till he was ready. Three days passed during which Giv repeatedly reminded Rustam that the fury of the king would know no bounds if they were late, but Rustam was in no mood to relent. Finally on the fourth day, they set off for Iran.
King Kae Kaus insults Rustam :
As soon as Giv and Rustam reached the palace, they went to see the king. However the king was fuming with anger because of the long delay. He fired Rustam by saying, "Who do you think you are that you disobey the king's orders and place your own whims before the interests of the country". Then, in a fit of anger he ordered Toos to take Giv and Rustam to the gallows and hang them.
Rustam's scathing reply :
This insult was too much for the great Rustam. As he was fuming with rage, Toos approached him to pacify him and take him away from the temperamental king. However, a furious Rustam jerked away the great warrior Toos, who was hurtled away like a small child.
Rustam reminded the king in no uncertain terms that he was alive and on the throne just because of him. He told the king, "Don't think you are my master or provider – God alone is my provider. My horse Rakhsh is my throne, my mace is my seal and my helmet is my crown, I don't need anything else." He hastily he left the palace telling the other paladins to fend for themselves and their country as he was leaving Iran forever.
The paladins were very upset with their king for insulting and infuriating the great Rustam. They once again approached the senior paladin Gudarz for a solution to this problem. The aged warrior went to the king and reproached him for being rude to Rustam, who had several times saved the king from certain death.
Gudarz told the king that he will now be responsible for Iran's plight as Gazdam had clearly indicated in his letter that no paladin except Rustam would be capable of taking on the might of Sohrab. He once again chided the king for loosing his cool instead of handling the situation delicately and wisely.
The reconciliation :
King Kae Kaus once again realised his folly. He agreed with Gudarz and sent an apology to Rustam. Some of the paladins along with Gudarz carried the king's message to Rustam and asked him to forgive the king, who, though ill tempered was good at heart and had a noble disposition. Rustam was also told that by leaving Iran he was not punishing the king, but the entire nation, as it will be the people who would have to bear the brunt of the attack of the Turanians. Rustam however was very firm. He maintained that he was not a servant of the king and the king had no business to treat him so rudely.
When Rustam was not convinced, Gudarz tried another stratagem to convince him. He tried to appeal to the vanity of Rustam by telling him that the king, soldiers and people of Iran were thinking that he had left Iran because he is afraid to face the young paladin of Turkistan. All the soldiers and paladins think that if the great Rustam is not ready to face this young paladin they stand no chance before him, and so all are deciding to desert the war and flee. This argument touched a chord in Rustam's heart and after some further persuasion he agreed to return to Iran.
As soon as the King Kae Kaus received the message that Rustam had agreed to come back to Iran, he was jubilant. He made elaborate preparations for receiving Rustam, and when he finally arrived, the king greeted him with profuse apologies. He asked forgiveness for his rudeness and blamed his natural disposition for his uncouth behaviour and fits of anger. Thereafter both the king and Rustam accepted each other's respective superior positions and the king declared a feast to commemorate the reconciliation.
March towards the fort of Sapid :
Immediately the following day, the Iranian soldiers along with Rustam and other paladins marched towards the fort of Sapid which Sohrab had captured and where the Turanian army was stationed.
When Homan, the Turanian commander, and Sohrab saw from the fort that the Iranian army was approaching, Homan was distressed and tense, but Sohrab was confident of himself and his ability to fight against any warrior. He was also excited on the prospects of meeting his father Rustam.
Death of Zindeh-razam :
The Iranian army was stationed some distance away from the fort of Sapid. At dusk, Rustam decided to go to the fort in disguise to take stock of the situation in the enemy camp and get any information possible. He hid in a dark corner and spotted Sohrab sitting calmly discussing the stratagems of war. He was flanked on one side by the Turanian commanders Barman and Homan and on the other side was his maternal uncle Zindeh-razam, who was the prince of Samangan. He was specially sent by Tehmina, the mother of Sohrab to identify Rustam and facilitate the meeting between the father and the son.
Zindeh-razam saw some movement in the distant corner where Rustam was hiding so he went to investigate. Rustam was not able to identify Zindeh-razam in the darkness. Zindeh-razam too saw the silhouette of Rustam but failed to identify him, and tried to raise an alarm. Rustam immediately silenced him and dealt a powerful blow on his neck, rendering him lifeless. Thus was gone the only link who would have identified the father to the son.
When Sohrab realised that Zindeh-razam had not returned since a long time, he sent an attendant, who returned with the tragic news of the death of Zindeh-razam. Sohrab was grieved at this loss and immediately realised that an intruder had entered the palace. He told his men to prepare for the war and decided to launch an attack the following day.
Rustam returned to his camp and gave the news of war preparations in the enemy camp to King Kae Kaus. He even described the grandeur of Sohrab to the king and other Iranian paladins and asked them to be prepared to face an attack any time from the Turanians.
Sohrab takes stock :
The following day, Sohrab mounted his black horse and climbed to a strategic point from where he could take stock of the Iranian army. He called Hazir, the commander of the fort of Sapid whom he had imprisoned, and asked him to identify the different tents with the hope that he may get some clue to the identity of Rustam. Hazir properly identified the tents of all other paladins, but when he came to the tent of Rustam , he lied that the tent was that of a newly recruited warrior from China. Hazir's intention was to protect Rustam – the greatest asset of the Iranian army, from any unsuspecting attack by the enemies. Sohrab was dejected that he could not get any information about Rustam.
Thereafter, Sohrab sped off alone towards the Iranian camp and went straight to King Kae Kaus's tent where he challenged the king to send any of his warriors to fight him. King Kae Kaus was terrified by the gigantic looks of Sohrab and immediately sent Toos to summon Rustam to take on this great warrior. On receiving the urgent message in his tent, Rustam immediately prepared himself and set off for the battlefield.
Sohrab meets Rustam :
Both the great warriors -Sohrab and Rustam – came face to face with each other, and decided to go to a secluded place for a duel. While on the way, Sohrab felt affection towards Rustam and asked him whether he was Rustam. In order to put him off guard Rustam replied that he was a very small warrior in comparison to the great Rustam.
The two great warriors went to a secluded place and started their duel, first with spears and swords, and then with mace and bow-arrows. The duels between the two were so fierce that their weapons got worn out and their horses became tired, but none proved superior to the other. Finally, at dusk they stopped the duel for the day and decided to meet again the next day for a weaponless duel.
Rustam had never faced such stiff competition ever before. He was feeling frail and weak. He was dejected to such an extent that he even sent a message to King Kae Kaus not to continue the war in event of his death, because no one in Iran would be able to match the strength of Sohrab.
On the other hand Sohrab was feeling guilty for the duel firstly because of the age difference and secondly because he was feeling a strange attachment towards Rustam. He dreaded the possibility of actually fighting against his own father.
Rustam deceives Sohrab :
The following day Saohrab and Rustam met again. Sohrab once again appealed to Rustam to reveal his identity as he was feeling a great affection towards him, but Rustam misunderstood his tender sentiments as a young warrior's ploy to outsmart him and did not reveal his true identity. He challenged Sohrab to a duel in which he felt powerless.
Within no time Sohrab flung Rustam to the ground and sat on his chest. As he was about to pierce his heart with a dagger, Rustam played a trick on him. He stopped Sohrab saying that it was against Iranian rules of war to strike the opponent the first time he is flung to the ground. Sohrab took this to be true, and partly due to his bravery and partly due to his large heartedness, let Rustam go. It was only when Sohrab returned to his camp and narrated the incident to Homan that he came to know that he was deceived.
On the other hand, Rustam was shaken by the happenings of the day. He prayed to God and asked back for the strength, which he had voluntarily surrendered when his feet had started sinking in the ground due to the weight of his body. He got back his strength, and reinvigorated met Sohrab the next day in a hand to hand combat.
The last duel :
With renewed strength Rustam started fighting Sohrab, and soon got an upper hand over him. At the first opportunity he toppled Sohrab on the ground and before the winking of an eye thrust a dagger in his heart. This took the young warrior by surprise, as he had expected a reprieve for the first time. He cried foul against Rustam and lamented that now he would have to end his life without being able to see the face of his beloved father, to find whom he had undertaken this campaign. He, however, warned Rustam saying that he had killed him by treacherous means, and when his father Rustam would find this out he would seek him out from anywhere in the world and take revenge.
Rustam was shocked to hear this. He asked Sohrab about any evidence that he was Rustam's son and Sohrab ripped open his armour and showed him the gemstone, which was tied to his arm. This was the same gemstone which Rustam had given to his wife Tehmina and instructed her to give it to their child for identification. When Rustam saw the gemstone he took the head of his son in his lap and screamed in agony. He was inconsolable when he realised that he himself had brought about the death of his son.
When Rustam did not return to the Iranian camp by evening, the other paladins became worried and went searching for him. On seeing Rustam's horse standing alone in a corner, they jumped to the hasty conclusion that he might have been killed in the duel by Sohrab and immediately rushed to King Kae Kaus to give him the news. King Kae Kaus immediately sent a messenger to the Turanian camp to ascertain the fate of Rustam.
However, it was Sohrab who was breathing his last. The young warrior was however happy and contented that he had finally found his father. He made a final request to Rustam to spare the Turkish and Turanian soldiers as now without him they would be rudderless and will not be able to fight the mighty Iranian warriors.
Rustam immediately set off to fulfill his son's last wish. When the Iranian camp saw Rustam, they heaved a sigh of relief, but were worried to see him in such a disheveled state with clothes torn and eyes red with tears. Rustam narrated the unfortunate incident of his having stabbed his own son with his own hands. The entire Iranian camp was shocked at hearing this news. Rustam sent his brother Zavareh to Homan, the Turanian commander, to relay him the tragic news. Homan, who had nurtured Sohrab in the arts of warfare, was also stunned by this news. He put the blame of the whole tragedy on Hazir who had knowingly concealed the identity of Rustam from Sohrab.
Zavareh returned to the Iranian camp and informed Rustam that Hazir was the culprit behind this tragedy. Mad with rage, Rustam rushed to even scores with Hazir. He was about to kill him when other warriors intervened and pacified Rustam to spare Hazir as whatever he had done, was with good intentions. Rustam let off Hazir and immediately sped off along with Toos, Gudarz and Gastaham towards his wounded son.
Rustam requests for 'Noshdaru' :
Suddenly Rustam realised that King Kae Kaus had a medicine by the name 'Noshdaru' which healed the worst of wounds. He requested Gudarz to get it urgently. When Gudarz went to King Kae Kaus and requested him to give the medicine, the king declined to give it as he feared that if Sohrab survived, than the father and son would form a formidable duo. He suspected that the two may get together, topple his rule and snatch his throne away from him. Gudarz returned to Rustam and asked him to go personally and request the king for the medicine. As an anguished Rustam set out to go, he received the news that Sohrab was no more in the world.
Sohrab breathes his last :
The news of Sohrab's death at his own hands was too much for Rustam to bear. He grieved and sobbed uncontrollably. He requested the other paladins who were sharing his grief to request the king to announce the end of war as per the last wishes of Sohrab.
The lifeless body of Sohrab was taken to Zabulistan where his grandparents Zal and Rodabeh too broke down on seeing the young and handsome Sohrab lying in a state of eternal rest. Rustam had a new Dakhma (Dakhma – an open round structure where dead bodies of Mazdayasnis/Zoroastrians are exposed to the elements) erected in the shape of a horseshoe and laid the body of his son it.
The news of Sohrab's death spread like wild-fire all around the world. In Turan, Homan delivered the news to Afrasiyab who too was grieved at this sudden death. In no time, the tragic news reached the King of Samangan who conveyed the same to Tehmina, the young mother of Sohrab. Tehmina who was excitedly preparing for the return of her young son along with his father was shattered at this news. She could not come to terms with the fact that her young promising son was now a lifeless lump of flesh.
In a mad frenzy, she destroyed everything that reminded her of Sohrab. Unable to bear the pain, she often lapsed into unconsciousness. She donned a black dress and passed her days in a dazed state. Unable to bear the shock, she too passed away within a year of her son's death.

Apart from trading the American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) of Indian stocks listed on US exchanges, you can also trade Indian stocks listed on the Bombay stock exchange (BSE) and the National stock exchange (NSE) of India. However, you would have to open a brokerage account with an international broker with a presence in the Indian market, such as Interactive Brokers.
In this post, we take a look at how to trade Indian stocks, and we provide a backtested Indian trading strategy at the end of the article.

India trading strategy – ending remarks
Apart from trading the American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) of Indian stocks listed on US exchanges, you can also trade Indian stocks listed on the Bombay stock exchange (BSE) and the National stock exchange (NSE) of India.
However, to have access to the Indian stock market as a Westerner, you would have to open a brokerage account with an international broker with a presence in the Indian market, such as Interactive Brokers. You can also open an account with a SEBI-registered local Indian stockbroker, but it is very difficult and you may not like the services.
The most common way western investors gain exposure to the Indian stock market is by investing in India-focused mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) or exchange-traded notes (ETNs) that are listed on foreign exchanges. Many who want to trade individual stocks trade American or Global Depositary Receipts (ADRs or GDRs).
It is difficult to know the total number of Indian stocks there are at the moment, as they increase all the time. However, we can estimate that by checking the number of stocks listed on Indian major stock exchanges, even though some foreign stocks may also be among the stocks listed on Indian exchanges.
The two main stock exchanges in India are the National Stock Exchange of India and the Bombay Stock Exchange. As of the 2021 financial year, there were a total of over 7,462 stocks listed n the National Stock Exchange of India and the Bombay Stock Exchange. The majority of these stocks were listed on the BSE, with a little more than 1300 securities on the NSE.
At 7,462 stocks, the Indian stock market has one of the highest numbers of listed stocks in the world. However, the list might include foreign stocks listed on Indian stock exchanges.
These are some of the biggest Indian companies:
Reliance Industries: Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) is an Indian multinational company headquartered in Mumbai. It is a conglomerate company with diverse businesses including energy, petrochemicals, natural gas, retail, telecommunications, mass media, and textiles. As of writing, it is one of the most profitable companies in India, the largest company in India as measured by revenue, and the largest publicly traded company in India by market capitalization.
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS): This is an Indian multinational information technology (IT) services and consulting company with its headquarters in Mumbai. TCS is a part of the Tata Group and operates in 149 locations across 46 countries. As of the time of writing, it is the second largest Indian Company by market capitalization and is among the most valuable IT service brands worldwide.
HDFC Bank: Incorporated in 1994, HDFC Bank Limited is an Indian banking and financial services company headquartered in Mumbai. It is India's largest private sector bank by assets and the world's 10th largest bank by market capitalization as of 2021. As of writing, it is the third largest company by market capitalization of $122.50 billion on the Indian stock exchanges.
Infosys Limited: This is an Indian multinational information technology company, offering business consulting, information technology, and outsourcing services. Infosys was founded in Pune and is headquartered in Bangalore. It is the second-largest Indian IT company after Tata Consultancy Services.

Please keep in mind that by the time you read this article the above mentioned companies might not be among the biggest anymore. Capitalism is very good at filtering out companies and replace them with better or more efficient ones. Because of this, stock picking is very difficult. You might want to read the following article:
Do Stocks Outperform Treasury Bills? (Not What You Expected)
With a population of about 1.1 billion, India is the world's biggest democracy. It runs a federal democracy, consisting of 28 union states and eight union territories. The government has three primary branches: the legislative (Parliament), the executive (government and Council of Ministers), and the judiciary (Supreme Court). It is a parliamentary system of government, so even though the president of the republic is the nominal head of the executive branch, the prime minister is the de facto chief executive.
Although India runs a democratic government, there is a lot of red tapes. Nonetheless, its middle-income developing market economy is one of the fastest-growing in the world — currently the world's fifth-largest economy by nominal GDP and the third-largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). Interestingly, its long-term growth perspective remains positive due to its young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings, and investment rates, increasing globalization in India, and its integration into the global economy.
Let's go on to make an Indian trading strategy with strict trading rules and settings:
Is there a Santa Claus rally in Indian stocks? Let's backtest and find out. We make the following trading rules:
We go long at the close of the second Friday in December.
We exit at the close of the first trading day of the new year.
We only have data back to 2007 and we use the cash index for our backtest.
There seems to be a pretty consistent Santa Claus rally in Indian stocks.
The average gain per trade is 1.75%, the win ratio is 79%, the profit factor is 8, and the max drawdown is 7%.
These are pretty strong trading performance metrics! It's clearly a Santa Claus rally in Indian stocks.
In the US market there is a very strong seasonal tendency at the end of the month.
The Turn Of The Month Trading Strategy (End Of Month Effect)
Thus, it could be interesting to backtest if there is an end of month effect in Indian stocks.
We make a strategy optimization (how to optimize a trading strategy) to find out the best day of entry: from the ten last trading day of the month until the second last one. We sell at the close of the month.
The table below shows the results:
The first column indicates at which trading day we enter. Clearly, the fifth and sixth last trading day of the month is the best, indicated by the profit factor.
Based on the results we make new trading rules:
We go long at the close of the fifth last trading day of the month.
We sell at the close of the second trading day of the new month.
The equity curve of this strategy looks like this:
There is a pretty strong end of month seasonality in Indian stocks.
You get 10.5% annual returns by only being invested the last five trading days of the month. This is better than buy and hold while only being invested in stocks about 30% of the time.
However, please keep in mind that the strategy is slightly curve fitted (what is curve fitting?). But the results are reasonably robust because of the strong results no matter if we use 10 days or less when we enter.
We made two Indian trading strategies in this article: one showing a strong Santa Claus rally and one indicating a pretty strong end of month anomaly. These are just two examples of how you can make an India trading strategy.

Does my business need to be on facebook?
My, my; but it has been a long time between drinks, hasn't it?
Fortunately, I find myself with rather a lot of nice things to say.
I've recently taken up a position as a Marketing Lecturer for Music Industry Business students.
I love teaching — it provides (a) a reason to organise all the things you think you know into tiny units of communicable information, and (b) an audience that had better damn well listen.
So much for my stand-up comedy aspirations.
Taking the opportunity to organise a considered reply, I offer you all this (in recognition that this blog had ceased to be useful).
To my mind, this isn't quite right.
People don't buy, sign contracts or conduct credit checks using facebook.
People conduct elements of their business activities online using facebook, but 'business' in and of itself (ie. commerce; transaction of goods and services in exchange for $) doesn't really occur at all. Even the much-ignored advertising that accompanies the delivery of social media doesn't result in an actual sale — it simply directs you to places where commerce can occur.
Social media is a new (but relatively recent and ever-changing) tool which artists/businesses can use to promote their goods, or develop professional networks with people they hope to conduct actual 'business' with (networking up).
Used well, social media can also be a powerful tool for developing your fans and customers into communities — Seth Godin calls them tribes — groups that are better able to link with one another and/or organise themselves to undertake additional business activities (predominantly marketing and promotion) on your behalf, ie.testimonials (word of mouth/third party advocacy), discovering new audiences or creating a presence that can be easily found by others — in some cases, people who exist in markets outside your direct influence or awareness.
(people who like your products/services and people who actually pay for them). Traditionally, one could easily make this distinction using bands such as The Wiggles — the person who buys the product isn't necessarily the person who consumes the product.
Given the varying ways and levels of sophistication with which people engage/use/consume digital media – this distinction becomes less obvious — are the people that are championing your product/service/brand online people your customers?
I won't get into piracy, IP or 'traditional sales' issues here, but it is pretty clear across most forms of digital media (Music, Film, Gaming etc) that the purchase of a product is not nearly as important to modern consumers as the enjoyment of that same product.
However, there are a couple of points on the nature of digital consumer culture that deserve a mention here — the emerging and unreliable philosophy of "try it — and if you like it, buy it" which can result in actual sales — sometimes long after the initial release and accompanying marketing strategy have run their course.
There is also the important (and hard to measure) influence of product/brand 'champions' — people who have discovered your business through non-traditional (and sometimes illegal) means, but then actively promote on your behalf — buying legitimate copies for friends or producing indirect sales by introducing the product to their peer groups and/or social networks.
But REMEMBER – the development of communities or tribes requires a lot of interaction; opportunities for individuals to engage directly with your business in a manner that they feel is both practical and personal, interactions that 'feel' meaningful to both parties.
is difficult to measure in terms of the bottom line (time and resource management versus sales).
inherently exposed to risk (real-time publishing within the public domain) with potential public relations debacles.
needs to be tailored to the strengths and nuances of the different (and emerging) social media platforms.
Keeping all of this in mind, I believe the short answer to the "does my business need to use social media" question is this: Not necessarily.
the belief that social media is an 'add-on' or 'plug-in' to existing/traditional business activities.
My belief is that a business that does not use social media is better off than a business that uses it badly.
Today I bought a lot of books in one of the few remaining second-hand book shops where the books are stacked almost to the ceiling, precariously hanging off and over shelves, full of forgotten lore….
It was exactly the same sort of sense of safety I used to get from hanging out in those places as a child… hundreds of thousands of impossible worlds, lives, adventures and tragedies stacked higgledy-piggledy against the fundamentals of physics, 'Life-Lite' Literature and motorcycle mechanics.
I stayed there for hours, and then made a deal with the owner so I can go back and clean up his comic collection.
It will give me an enormous sense of well-being, feeding some of my obsessive-compulsive tendencies, but also attempting to bring order to chaos, and to care for these objects, which are remnants of other people's dreams or quest for knowledge.
Last night, Bonnie Davies and I progressed through our West Australian heat for RAW COMEDY, so in 5-6 weeks it will be time for the semi-finals.
Thanks to everyone who came to show their support and for everyone who has since sent thankyou messages.
In particular, thanks to Ms Pemberton, Ms Scott-Norman and Ms Berger for their support and pushing me to get up onstage and have a crack at it, and to Mr Montague for taking the time to advise me on how to do it better.
What the hell have I been doing?
And distracting myself with an incidental project called "The Bumper Sticker Graveyard", in which creative concepts are rejected by imaginary clients.
Rejected by the Hitchcock Appreciation Society because if you look closely, I've used an 'open single quote' instead of an apostrophe.
Rejected by Telstra because... well... because they don't like anyone else's ideas.
Rejected by the Societe Philosophy for being too 'racy'.
Lots of other stuff on the go, but not necessarily in keeping with the gravitas you've come to expect from In Conversation With… do stay tuned… an interview with the screenwriter (Jan Sardi) and the subject (Li Cunxin) of Mao's Last Dancer will be coming soon!
Also, a review of Drew Barrymore's directorial debut, Whip It — a roller-derby hero's journey/coming of age flick starring Ellen Page (Juno).
They're only to be used offensively, not in self defense.
It's not funny, and it's not true… but if someone can make a credo out of 'just a band', like hell I'm going to be left out of the cynical pleasure of dehumanising our shared experiences.
When cynicism and sarcasm fails to bring you joy, you are well and truly f*cked.
AUDIO (Courtesy of RTRFM): Click HERE to listen to me approach a cover of Halogen, Clumsy, clumsily.
Last night's gig went swimmingly… very happy to be amongst it again.
Highlights (of the rest of the evening) include my first chance to see a young singer/songwriter called Timothy Nelson, appearing around the traps with The Infidels. What a great voice, and some neat chops on keys and guitar.
Jake Snell went even more retro than me, with Header, Ammonia and Flanders — luckily, I had decided not to play Anky Fremp — how embarrassment would that have been… would have been worse than me turning up in the same outfit as Abbe May.
Also noteworthy, Ms May — one of the only people who didn't appear to have pneumonia (rocking or otherwise), according to my guestlist — played a cover of Eskimo Joe's Liar that inspired a strange reaction from the audience… finger-snaps are percussive, yet these seemed imbued with sarcasm as expressive as the lady's voice.
In the meantime, here's a desk recording of my RTRFM appearance yesterday on Breakfast With Barr, covering Halogen.
Clumsy's an odd looking word, really when you look at it. Is there a word for 'visual onomatopœia'?
And of course, rescpect to Tania, who has been keeping the flag flying at the Hydey up to this sad point.
Eternal thanks also to Hayley Beth for giving me the spot (get up and fight, kiddo) and to Nick Taylor, for loaning a guitar worth more than my life and far beyond my ability to play with any sense of justice.
Thanks also to Steve and Hugh, who turned up too late to hear me murder their song. Sweet kids.

Doing the rounds over on Universal Sweden this week is the second remaking of Vigiland's "Let's Escape" and this official remix comes from the talented Lucky Charmes. Currently in demand for his remix work, the Amsterdam hailing producer and DJ will delight fans with this edit.
Using mere hints of the Swedish original and transforming it into something grooving and full of zing. There is a pepped up bass line and a slick use of melodic layering going on here, and the result is something totally infectious and brilliantly produced.

Hello, my bucket list friends ! During my amazing sleepover weekend with my amazing awesome friend ,I crossed another item off my list . ( you can read about the other list item HERE ) Now without further delay here is the second item that I crossed off in 2019 !
My friend and I had gotten two pizzas for our sleepover we ate one Friday night and saved the next one for Saturday . I asked my friend if she wanted to have a pizza eating contest and because she is so awesome she said yes . We had cooked the pizza the night before and when we put in a container to go in the fridge we didn't use a pizza cutter so the pieces were all uneven. So it wasn't a fair contest but we didn't really care . I finished my piece first and won but it was smaller then my friend's piece. I took a video of us having the contest and it is a pretty funny video at lest I think so . I might upload the video to You Tube soon but in the meantime take a look and some stills from the video.
Cheers to another list item being crossed off my bucket list !

it would not fail when I redirect the log to a file. :S.


The northeast features a sloping reef, the southeast a more dramatic drop-off. A series of parallel rocks resembling fallen logs are the setting for this Similan diving site.
To the southeast is a large swim-through that provides an opening to the other side of this dive site. The marine life is more diverse there with clown triggerfish, half-moon triggerfish and schools of batfish, pallette surgeonfish, blue-faced angelfish and bannerfish. It's also a good place to spot passing sharks and larger rays.
In March and April 2010 the Similan Islands suffered from a naturally occurring event called the Reverse Indian Ocean Dipole. This is very similar the "La Nina" that changes water temperatures and currents in the Pacific ocean. In this case, the water temperatures in the entire Andaman Sea were raised between 2 or 3 degrees above median. This was enough to damage the living corals in shallower sites and those with limited tidal interchange. On the Western facing side of the Similan National Park, the affect on the sites was minimal. On the shallow sloping reefs of the Eastern side , there was a more noticeable impact on the corals. His has caused some bleaching, and on two of this sites a – a noticeable impact. The National Park system shut down several sites throughout the Andaman region to protect the reefs from potential human impact (diving, snorkeling and fishing). These sites are already showing regrowth and at least two of the sites have re-opened at this time.
Plus understand that the bleaching is not the result of direct human impact, or over use. It is the results of vast climactic changes that are happening on our globe. The reefs are accustomed to these temperature changes and can easily adapt and regrow. They can not regrow from the damage done to them physically or chemically by inconsiderate divers and snorkelers.
As with all dive sites in the Similan Isiands, it is strongly recommended that you go with only registered and reputable dive operations, carry suitable travel insurance that covers diving accidents and evacuations as well as trip cancellations insurance due to the potentially erratic weather conditions.

Q: Input in python on more than one line This is my code
fw = open('input.txt', 'w')
fw.write(input())
fw.close()
fr = open('input.txt', 'r')
for y in fr:
    print(y)
fr.close()

When the user writes into the file. How can he go to the next line?
Whenever I hit enter it accepts only one line and does not go to the next line.
example:
When I run this code, I input
1 2 3 4

The output is same as input.
But I want it to be written as
1
2
3
4

in the input.txt file.
I tried the following and did not work.

*

*fw.write(input() + "\n")

*fw.write(input("\n")

A: You need a loop. Try this:
fw = open('input.txt', 'w')
while 1:
    info = input('enter stop to stop:')
    if info == 'stop':
        break
    fw.write(info)

fw.close()
fr = open('input.txt', 'r')

for y in fr:
    print(y, end='')
fr.close()

A:
Whenever i hit enter it accepts only one line and does not go to the next line.

Yes, input take only 1 line as input.
You can either, use a loop until a certain response is given, or use split to split your input and then write each item on the list on a new line:
fw.write('\n'.join(input().split(' ')))

or
userInput = input()
for line in userInput.split(' '):
    fw.write(line)

A: To print each whitespace-separated item in the input string on its own line:
print(*input().split(), sep='\n', file=fw)

Gift #3: Ravenscourt Apothecary- Tea and Literature-inspired Fragrances
When our eyes first set sights on Ravenscourt Apothecary's iconic tea and literature-inspired fragrances, we were wowed by just how exquisite and beautifully designed they are. Also, we thought, "How quintessentially English!"
Created in 2013, Ravenscourt Apothecary has been the much-needed creative outlet for founder Tanya when she was at a crossroads after relocating to the UK from the United States. Inspired by Victorian Literature and her love of unusual teas, this magical creation is Tanya's expression of classical literary characters and tea in the form of a scent, striving to capture the spirit, the variety, the complexity, the experience, and all the sensations of imagination into a bottle. "To capture the experience of slowly sipping a cup of fragrant green tea," Tanya explains, "I see it as a delightful challenge."
Beyond the creative art form of capturing sensations through scents (or SCENTsations – get it?), Ravenscourt Apothecary also strives to provide a cruelty-free, mindfully-produced alternatives in the beauty industry, crafted only with natural essential oils, resins and absolutes. Their all-natural, palm-oil free, and vegan products are all about being gentle – No harsh and overpowering intensity like those from conventional alcohol-based perfume sprays. The beauty behind Ravenscourt Apothecary's fragrances is that it unfolds in a unique and subtle way on each person, reacting with each wearer's body chemistry to create a scent that is unlike any other.
Tanya tells us more about Ravenscourt Apothecary.
Ravenscourt Apothecary was created in 2013 in London shortly after I relocated to Europe from the United States. New in the UK, I was at a crossroads and craving a creative outlet. My heart was set on serving the world one bar of vegan soap and bottle of perfume at a time.
