In the digital economy, your competitors aren't your only competition
Ford's competition used to be other car manufacturers, but these days it's facing greater pressure from start-ups and large technology firms. So how do you compete when everyone's your competition?
Think of a make of car. With the possible exception of Tesla, most of the names that flashed across your mind began life in the 19th century. Mercedes-Benz celebrated its centenary nearly 30 years ago; in 1998 Renault hit one hundred, followed by Opel, and Fiat in 1999.
That these companies have survived for over a century says something about the car's prominent position in society. But some in the industry fear that their established place is being threatened by the digital economy.
Ford, which turns 112 this year, is worried that start-ups and tech giants are undercutting its business model. Speaking at a conference in Germany, Ford's CEO, Mark Fields, said that to survive in the 21st century the car industry needs to compete with the likes of Google and Uber,
"There are [companies] who we never thought, five years ago, would be competitors for us".
Ford and other car manufacturers are being squeezed on several fronts – ridesharing services like Uber, Hailo, and Lyft are changing how we think about and use transport; in-car operating systems, which both Google and Apple are developing, will wrestle more control away from manufacturers; and finally, automated vehicles, which Google and Uber are developing, will further reduce people's need to own a vehicle.
In the digital economy it makes more sense to rent a car as you need, rather than to buy. And as more of us begin to see the car as something we use (and can summon with an app), rather than something we own, this will inevitably impact car sales.
We've seen this before, just on a smaller scale. Over the past 10 years, movies, TV, and music have ceased to be items we buy, but services we rent. The companies that benefited most from, as well as initiated, this change – Spotify, and Netflix – came from the tech sector. They undercut the established and dominant industry players to become the new industry establishment.
"[Tech companies] are looking at our industry", says Fields, "[and aren't] taking anything for granted, they are questioning tradition, and they are knocking down walls".
Even inside the car, manufacturers are being squeezed by the digital economy. Both Google and Apple are building in-car operating systems. With these they offer manufacturers a dilemma – not installing them will be a competitive disadvantage, but in offering them they will be required to meet Google and Apple's hardware standards – (basically, this will do to the car what Google and Apple did to mobile phone manufacturers nearly a decade ago).
And Ford may be right to be worried – in the recent past we've seen major players, like Nokia and Motorola, bought out and disbanded by Microsoft and Google's phone divisions.
If Ford and others want to avoid a similar fate, they need to see the likes of Uber and Hailo, Google and Apple, as competitors – and challenge them with equally innovative services. To see how this can be done, take a look at Tesla

Ymir...my real name...is Historia.
— Christa Lenz, Historia
Historia (ヒストリア Hisutoria?) is the 5th episode of the 2nd season and the 30th episode overall of the Attack on Titan anime, produced by Wit Studio and Production I.G.
In a 104th training exercise, the cadets notice that three people are missing. In the blizzard, Christa drags Daz through the snow. Ymir realizes that Christa is an illegitimate noble, and sends her ahead whilst she takes Daz. At the base, Christa finds the others had miraculously survived.
At Utgard, Ymir engages the Titans. During the fight, she tears down the tower, and rescues the other recruits. The Titans later emerge from the rubble, and begin to devour Ymir, until the Scouts arrive and cut them down. After the battle, Christa tells Ymir her real name - Historia.
Ymir confronts Christa about her real intentions
Some years ago, the cadets of the 104th Cadet Corps complete a snowstorm training exercise, arriving at a base at the foot of a mountain. After some brief discussion among the cadets, Reiner announces that Christa is missing. Mikasa says that Christa had chosen to stick with Daz, who was performing poorly, but Reiner says that Daz as well as Ymir have not returned. Marco suggests that she may be with Thomas' squad, but Reiner points out that his squad just completed their course with Ymir, Daz, and Christa nowhere in sight. Worrying for their safety, Eren proposes organizing a search for them, and their training instructor says that a search will begin the next morning. Eren insists that it will be too late if they hold off on the search, but the instructor says that more cadet lives cannot be risked in the snowstorm.
Elsewhere in the storm, Christa and Ymir make their way through a forest with Daz unconscious in a cot pulled by Christa. Ymir says that they will only survive if they abandon Daz and head for base together, but Christa insists that they can all survive if Ymir goes ahead alone while Christa takes Daz. Ymir notices that Christa has not asked for help during their entire course, and she realizes that Christa has no intention of saving Daz nor herself. She says that it would be very against Christa's character to bring about Daz's death while searching for her own heroic end, but Christa insists that such is not the case.
Ymir overhear Christa's past
Ymir brings up the fact that she is aware of Christa's true past, a daughter of a nobleman's mistress whose life was at risk. Recalling her days before training, Ymir reveals that while in the interior she overheard the Order of the Walls discussing Christa's existence. Since an illegitimate child could not properly succeed the head of the family, they had considered ending her life, but in the end it was decided that it would be enough to give her a new name and an inconspicuous life, eventually leading to her joining the Cadet Corps. Christa wonders if Ymir joined the Cadet Corps in order to find her, and Ymir proposes that it may be due to her own past being similar. Christa wonders if Ymir originally wanted to befriend her, but Ymir says that they are nothing alike. Unlike Christa, Ymir kept her old name after starting a new life, and abandoning her name would be to admit defeat. By living for herself, she robs her enemies of their power. Ymir scolds Christa for looking for death rather than directing her feelings towards her enemies, and Christa says that there is no longer any way for all three of them to survive their mission.
Ymir leads Christa to a cliff overlooking the base at the foot of the mountain and proposes tossing Daz over the edge so that she and Christa can make it to base alive while Daz can be searched for later. When Christa objects, Ymir takes matters into her own hands and throws her aside into a snowbank.
Ymir wanders off while Christa is submerged, and there is a flash of light in the distance. When Christa escapes from the snow and returns to the cliff, Ymir and Daz are nowhere to be found. Back at base, Eren prepares to head outside in search for the others, and Mikasa and Armin decide to help. Reiner and Bertholdt also decide to join, bringing more equipment for the trip. Conny, Marco, and Sasha agree to come along as well. Suddenly, a loud crash like thunder is heard outside, and the cadets head outdoors to investigate.
Christa sees Daz is safely indoors
In the distance, Sasha spots Ymir dragging Daz through the snow. Some time later, Christa arrives and spots Ymir outside the base. She asks about Daz, and Ymir shows her that Daz is safe indoors. Upon looking at the cliff from the ground, Christa sees that such a descent would be impossible without rope. Ymir decides to reveal to Christa how she saved Daz, but only if she promises to live by her true name when her secret eventually becomes known to everyone.
Years later at Utgard Castle, Ymir leaps into the horde of Titans below. Ymir thinks to herself that she and Christa were the same in their youth, hated by the world and believing that things would be better had they not been born. To bring happiness to many people, Ymir gave up her life, but upon receiving a second chance she decided to live only for herself. Slitting her palm with Conny's knife, she triggers the power of the Titans and transforms into her own Titan form.
Reiner and Bertholdt remember the Titan that ate their friend
Ymir's Titan descends into the horde and begins slaughtering Titans one after another. From atop the tower, the other recruits look on in disbelief at the scene. Reiner and Bertholdt stare in horror as they recognize Ymir's Titan as the one that ate their friend five years ago. Ymir's combat shakes the tower and Christa nearly falls, but Reiner catches her in the nick of time. She thanks him, but in a moment of dissociation he keeps his grip on Christa's ankle, unconsciously squeezing her. After Christa and Conny eventually snap Reiner out of it, he asks Christa if she was aware of Ymir's powers. She claims that she never knew despite how close they were, and Reiner realizes that Ymir possesses knowledge the rest of humanity in the Walls does not. Conny says that Ymir was seemingly aware of her powers, unlike Eren when his Titan form first appeared in Trost. The recruits begin to wonder where Ymir's allegiances lie and what her goals are.
Titans devour and rip Ymir's Titan apart
Ymir's fight with the Titans begins to go downhill as she is overpowered. She clutches to the bricks of the tower, but lets go after the bricks begin to slip. The others realize that Ymir does not want the tower to fall, and that she is protecting them rather than escaping. Christa cries out to Ymir, scolding her for her selflessness. She tells her to live for herself and destroy the tower if that is what it takes to defeat the Titans. Hearing Christa's words, Ymir begins to tear the tower apart, throwing bricks and rubble at the Titans. As the tower begins to collapse, Ymir leaps to the top and tells the others to grab onto her if they want to live. Ymir's Titan finds a safe position atop the tower as it collapses on top of the horde, crushing many beneath the rubble.
The Scouts arrive and kill the Titans
After the dust clears, some Titans begin to emerge from the rubble. Ymir returns to the fight, but her Titan is quickly overpowered and outnumbered as more Titans climb out of the stone. The Titans rush her and begin to eat away at her Titan, tearing it apart as the recruits stand by unable to help. Christa begins running to Ymir, calling out to her and reminding her of their promise. Christa stops in her tracks when a Titan turns a corner in front of her and reaches out, when suddenly a Scout flies by and slices the Titan's nape. The Scout, Mikasa Ackermann, tells the other recruits to stand aside while the Scout Regiment finishes the fight.
The Titans are overwhelmed as the Scouts from the assault on Stohess finally arrive at Utgard with Section Commander Hange leading the charge.
Christa tells the heavily wounded Ymir her real name
Eren flies ahead against orders and slices the nape of a Titan, his first official kill as a human soldier. Keiji scolds Eren for rushing ahead, and the other recruits rush to Eren's side to reunite with their friend. In little time, the ruins of Utgard are cleared of all Titans. When the battle is over, the newcomers are shocked to learn of Ymir's Titan powers. Christa comes to Ymir, her limbs missing and her body grievously wounded from her Titan battle, and she keeps her promise. Christa reveals her true name, Historia, and Ymir slips into unconsciousness with a warm smile.

Lock in a great price for Villa Paroraia – rated 9.8 by recent guests!
Extremely clean rooms, and the owners would do anything to please you and your needs.
We really enjoyed our time at Villa Paroraia! The guesthouse is beautiful and the hosts Maria and Dimitris are incredibly sweet and generous people, they made us feel like family. They lent us umbrellas and gave us advice and snacks for our excursions! Our room was extremely clean and very comfortable, great bathroom, and wonderful homemade breakfast! Even when there were other guests about the place, our room was still very quiet and relaxing. We highly recommend staying here. Thank you Maria and Dimitris!
Maria and Dmitry are very sweet and hospitable. They do their best to make you feel at home. The entire place has been entirely renovated so the rooms are beautifully decorated, the shower is an absolute treat, the bed is like a cloud and the breakfast they serve has several options including many vegetables they grow themselves and home-mades jams. We had a great time there and absolutely recommend staying there.

The Day the Music Died
Recorded and released on the American Pie album in 1971, the single by American folk rock singer-songwriter Don McLean was a number-one U.S. hit for four weeks in 1972. The song is a recounting of "The Day the Music Died" — the 1959 plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper (Jiles Perry Richardson, Jr.)—and the aftermath. Don McLean wrote the song in Cold Spring, New York and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.The song is well known for its cryptic lyrics that have long been the subject of curiosity and speculation. Although McLean dedicated the American Pie album to Buddy Holly, none of the musicians in the plane crash are identified by name in the song itself. When asked what "American Pie" meant, McLean replied, "It means I never have to work again." Later, he more seriously stated, "You will find many interpretations of my lyrics but none of them by me…. Sorry to leave you all on your own like this but long ago I realized that songwriters should make their statements and move on, maintaining a dignified silence." McLean has generally avoided responding to direct questions about the song lyrics, such as saying, "They're beyond analysis. They're poetry.", except to acknowledge that he did first learn about Buddy Holly's death while folding newspapers for his paper route on the morning of February 3, 1959, (the line "February made me shiver/with every paper I'd deliver").
American pop star Madonna released a cover version of the song in March 2000 to promote the soundtrack to her film The Next Best Thing (John Schlesinger, 2000). Her cover is much shorter than the original (it contains only the beginning of the first verse and all of the second and sixth verses) and was recorded as a dance-pop song. It was co-produced by Madonna and William Orbit, after Rupert Everett (Madonna's co-star in The Next Best Thing) had convinced her to cover the song for the film's soundtrack.

Psychedelic Superheroes
Sunshine Superman is a song written and recorded by British singer-songwriter Donovan. The Sunshine Superman single was released in the United States through Epic Records in July 1966, but due to a contractual dispute the United Kingdom release was delayed until December 1966. It has been described as having, "proven to be [one of the] classics of the era," and as, "the quintessential bright summer sing along".
By 1966, Donovan had shed the overt Bob Dylan/Arlo Guthrie influences and become one of the first British pop musicians to adopt a flower power image. More importantly, his music was developing and changing rapidly as he immersed himself in jazz, blues, Eastern music, and the new generation of U.S. West Coast bands such as Jefferson Airplane and The Grateful Dead. He was now entering his most creative and original phase as a songwriter and recording artist, working in close collaboration with Mickie Most and especially with arranger, musician, and jazz fan John Cameron. Their first collaboration was "Sunshine Superman", one of the first overtly psychedelic pop records.
Sunshine Superman reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, and subsequently became the title track of Donovan's eponymous third album. The song was written for Donovan's future wife Linda Lawrence. The lyrics of the song mention not only Superman, but also another DC Comics superhero, Green Lantern.
By the way, writer Grant Morrison referenced the song in an issue of Animal Man by creating Sunshine Superman, an African American version of Superman who was a member of the Love Syndicate of Dreamworld, from a world based on the drug culture of the 1960s.
Beautiful Stranger is a song by American singer Madonna and was released on May 29, 1999 by Maverick Records. It was written and produced by Madonna and British songwriter and musician William Orbit, who had previously worked on the 1998 studio album Ray of Light. The song was written for the soundtrack and motion picture Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (Jay Roach, 1999). Mike Myers who plays the main role in the film, also appeared in the accompanying music video, directed by Brett Ratner. Beautiful Stranger is an up-tempo love song featuring heavily reverberated guitars and bouncy drum loops with lyrics telling a tale of romantic infatuation.It employs a lyrical theme and instrumentation similar to that found in the song Amazing which is included on Madonna's album Music (2000).

Had the BEST time at the Red Sox game against Texas on Wed. night. It was my 1st game this season! I LOVED the seats. They were close to home plate & were awesome. We were really close to the field in box seats! Red Sox won with a walk off run from Youk in the 12th innning! Grandslam by Drew, Varitek @ the plate & Papelbon on the mound in the 12th! McDonald was awesome! Now we need to get Ellsbury off the DL. If we still had Schilling & Bay we'd be looking real good!
And for all of you who were on Tek's case last fall! Check out his batting average now!
Red Sox Exhibition Game against Boston College started at 6:05!
First spring training game in 1 day 1 hour and 39 minutes. Can't wait to see Jonathan Papelbon , Jacoby Ellsbury, Kevin Edmund Youkilis, David Ortiz, Clay Buchholz, Dustin Pedroia, Jason Varitek & all the Red Sox back on the field!
Well tomorrow is the big day! The Red Sox Kid Nation Captains will be at Fenway filling and giving out 3,000 backpacks to kids going into 5th grade in Boston. Hood donated the backpacks & the captains have worked very hard to collect supplies to fill them so we can help out other kids. this is what I have managed to get donated & will be taking to Fenway tomorrow!t 1st a shout out to some special people for their help! Amy Conley & staff of Financial Engines. Andrew Weidner, Mary & Joseph Cashman, Kevin Kennedy & Family, Kevin Donaher & Family, William DiMento, Hillary Burr & staff at Wolf & Company, North Shore Young Democrats, Brendan Crighton, Sen. Tom McGee & his staff, Finagle a Bagel, Newbury Comics, Victoria Enos & employees of Sun Life Financial,LynnCam TV, Dave Riley Jr, Dave Solimine, Patty Theriault-Lopes & The Daily Item. Hood & the Red Sox are awesome for letting us do this project. Mardi Fuller & Joe Chamas in the Red Sox Office were awesome too! Thanks guys!
In Papi I Trust & Pitching Troubles!
I hope everyone is watching Big Papi's Press Conference! I KNEW BIG PAPI NEVER USED STEROIDS! There were 104 people on the list & only 83 positive test results & some of the the tests could have been from the same players. I hope all you sports writers that talked smack about Ortiz apologize & then keep your mouths shut until you know the FACTS!
Sox/Yankees games usually are long but 15 Innings is a little crazy especially when it's still 0-0 going to into the 15th!
Can we clone Beckett & maybe we should bring back Schilling. Can['t we pay someone to take Dice K off our hands?
I won 2nd place in the http://www.iwontcheat.com/ essay contest about what I would say 2 my favorite athlete if they were caught using illegal drugs. Now people are saying Big Papi took something illegal! I hope he didn't do anything wrong on purpose. Maybe he just drank an energy drink or something that had something bad in it & he didn't know it. I would be so upset if Papi cheated, I would rather lose than win by cheating. But I don't like all the newspaper reporters writing mean columns about Papi because we don't know what happened yet! I think he was brave to go out & play last night after the news came out about the drug tests & I respect him for that! Until someone proves he took steroids & knew he was taking them I still believe in Big Papi! I believe he will tell the team & his fans the truth about what happened!
AWESOME!!! Beckett's 100th win. He pitched the whole game & shut out KC! Nuff Said! This was a great series! Papi, Bay, Tek ! Go Boys!
And people please LOSE the pink hats! Pink is my favorite color but it's the Boston RED Sox! Even when I was four years old I wouldn't wear pink Red Sox gear even though everything else I owned was pink. Do you have any idea how silly you look? When I see fans wearing pink hats or t-shirts with little white letters- I can't even tell who you're rooting for. Show your team pride & wear TEAM COLORS! What do you think the players think when they look at in the stands and see a sea of pink? This whole pink hat/shirt thing is so embarrassing!


Employers and apprentices in the Scottish construction industry welcomed news today that the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) will increase its annual attendance grant funding to £2,500 for each apprentice in training. As an added retention incentive, achievement grants will increase to £3,500 – an amount awarded when an apprentice successfully completes their training.
Construction-related courses are the most popular destination for young people looking for an apprenticeship in Scotland. In addition to funding thousands of apprenticeships, CITB is the largest training provider of Modern Apprentices across all frameworks.
The new rate – which will see a four-year apprenticeship grant rise from £10,250 to up to £14,500 – is designed to help employers take on and retain more apprentices in the construction industry. CITB forecasts that UK-wide, some 168,500 new jobs in construction will need to be filled in the next five years.
The new rates should be a welcome boost to the industry and help the Scottish Government achieve its ambitions of 30,000 Modern Apprentices starts by 2020.
The new rates will apply from 1 April 2019 to all new starts, and the change to the achievement rate will apply to new and existing apprentices who achieve from 1 April onwards.
CITB is set to make further announcements on its investment in apprenticeships in the coming weeks.
Employers interested in learning more about the Apprenticeship Levy and how to take on a new apprentice should visit the CITB website for details.
Follow CITB Scotland on Twitter @CITB_Scotland.
CITB is the Industrial Training Board (ITB) for the construction industry in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). CITB Scotland ensures employers can access the high quality training their workforce needs and supports industry to attract new recruits into successful careers in construction.
CITB has funding available for employers to upskill their employees, to make sure the construction workforce is trained to a high standard.
CITB is improving its employer funding by making it easier for companies of all sizes to claim grants and support.
With over 150 different careers available – from drone operators to landscape architects, BIM managers to traditional stonemasons – there really is a construction career for everyone. Find out more at goconstruct.org.

School Repairs Wait While Schoobrary Jumps Ahead - Voice of San Diego
School Repairs Wait While Schoobrary Jumps Ahead
San Diego Unified is delaying some school repairs as its bond revenue plummets, upsetting parents whose schools will wait longer for needed fixes.
The school district tried to make Clairemont High's stadium more accessible by building this long, zig-zagging ramp, but federal observers still found the stadium inaccessible. / Photo by Sam Hodgson
EMILY ALPERT on Dec 15, 2009
Senior Ben Samuel likes to watch the football games at Clairemont High — but the stadium can sometimes be difficult to navigate in his wheelchair.
The long, zig-zagging ramp down to the bleachers is too narrow for more than one chair. It leads down to a gravel track that some students can't cross. Even after the school district tried to make the stadium more accessible, it's still hard for visitors with wheelchairs to reach the opposite side of the field.
And because there are too few seats for all Clairemont students during pep rallies or other school-wide events, students without disabilities often spill onto the ramp, making it unusable for teens with wheelchairs. Federal observers found that the stadium was still inaccessible last year, even after an initial batch of repairs.
San Diego Unified promised to fix those problems with the money it got from Proposition S, a new construction bond that voters approved last year. It even set a timeline, pledging to finish the fixes by December 2010.
But now San Diego Unified is likely to break that pledge. It plans to finish repairs in 2015. The school district has been forced to delay projects as revenue from its construction bond plunges. That has parents and employees wondering why other plans, particularly a new school in the proposed downtown library, are scheduled earlier. Clairemont parents are incensed.
"We've been waiting since 1995," said Gerry Knuppel, who teaches physical education for Clairemont students with disabilities. Though parents only filed a complaint last year, getting access to the stadium has been a problem for much longer. "And now they're saying we have to wait until 2015."
The financial pinch has squeezed money for building and renovating schools, too. As home values dropped, so has the revenue that San Diego Unified reaps from property taxes that voters approved. The school district will eventually get all the money that voters agreed to — but it will take longer.
"Every dollar is precious at this point," said Jim Watts, San Diego Unified's planning director.
So San Diego Unified is delaying up to $96 million in repairs and renovations at Clairemont and more than two dozen other schools for as long as four years. Because of state cutbacks, the Division of the State Architect is now taking up to six months longer than usual to approve projects, pushing them back even further.
Many parents are galled that repairs at their schools are being postponed while San Diego Unified carves out time and money for other projects, including digital whiteboards and the new school in the downtown library. Both of those projects have gotten the blessing from the school board — and both have coveted spots early in the schedule.
Mission Bay High parents who argue that their worn athletic fields are "a lawsuit waiting to happen" have questioned putting the library first. Clairemont parents also singled out the library school.
"They want to build a new downtown school — yet they haven't met the needs of our current students," said Margie Fish, whose youngest son graduated from Clairemont this year. Her father, who has a disability, was unable to see his grandsons play football in years past.
Classroom technology has stayed at the top of the bond list. The school board has backed the idea of digitizing classrooms with computerized whiteboards, voice amplifiers and netbooks for each student as a way to engage kids and boost their achievement.
But it brings a tradeoff. Because San Diego Unified is installing more than $300 million in classroom technology — at least $200 million in the first five years of the bond — there is only enough spare money for a handful of other projects in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Delaying the technology upgrades would throw off the district's strategy for rolling out the new tools. Each year, the next grade gets the technology. "You don't just get it in third grade and then have a gap," Watts said. "There's continuity for the kids."
The price tag for the downtown library school is much lower than for the technology — $20 million — so it has less impact on the schedule. But scheduling it early means that other projects must go later, because schools have a limited amount of money to spend each year. Watts explained that the downtown library school can't be moved around as easily, because it depends on the city, which is planning the larger project.
Though it is only one of several projects scheduled to happen this year and next, parents have focused their ire on the library school because it wasn't originally planned. Some question whether it is really needed.
Many of the delayed projects have been identified as pressing needs, but Clairemont has another wrinkle: Fish and other parents filed a formal complaint with the civil rights office of the U.S. Department of Education about the school's problems. After that complaint was lodged, former Superintendent Terry Grier agreed to make the fixes by next December.
While Clairemont waits, it is trying to work around the problems. Jesus Montana, its campus police officer, estimated that for every game or pep rally, the school spends more than $80 to hire a security assistant whose only job is to ensure that the ramp is clear and only one wheelchair uses it at a time.
The federal government could penalize San Diego Unified for delays, but both sides say they are working together to avoid that. Watts said the school district is trying to squeeze the Clairemont repairs into the schedule earlier if possible. San Diego Unified has yet to hammer out an agreement with the civil rights office, but assistant general counsel Patrick Frost said they'll likely meet early next year.
"Enforcement is a last resort," said Jim Bradshaw, spokesman for the U.S. Department of Education. "But it is a resort."

Ashu Thangaraj talks tech, careers and diversity in the workplace
Ashu Thangaraj Send an email March 6, 2018
Meet Ashu Thangaraj, director of Engineering from Bangalore, India. In this post, Ashu shares her experience working as a leader in the tech industry and talks about her ever-growing passion for diversity in the workplace.
Tell us a little bit about yourself. What is your role here at OpenText?
I am Ashu Thangaraj, and I joined OpenText as part of the HP acquisition in 2016. I spent close to a decade working at HP, and Infosys prior to that.
I've worked in the IT industry for over two decades working on various Product Development programs. Currently, I lead the CEM team in Bangalore where I oversee the OpenText Output Management Solution: a family of products that ensures the delivery of print jobs to output resources, like: printers, fax destinations, web destinations, email and more.
What inspired you to get into the field of Engineering?
Interestingly enough, science always use to intrigue me as a kid and I had a flair for mathematics. Logical and analytical skills were my key strengths. Also, growing up, I was exposed to a whole community of Engineers, many of whom I looked up to. Overall, I grew up during a time when India was a developing country and I could see multiple engineering problems still to be solved. This inspired me to take up Engineering and I am glad that I did.
What does a typical day look like for you at OpenText?
On a typical day at OpenText, I spend most of my time working at our Bangalore office, and then a couple of hours at home in the evening. Every morning, I like to make a plan for the day ahead. Then, I'll reply to any urgent emails and check on the status of each project on the go. This is followed by a couple of meetings, mostly around the program that I lead. I am also passionate about diversity and inclusion in the workplace, and I recently started a small initiative for this cause in the Bangalore office.
Tell us a little bit more about this Diversity and Inclusion initiative!
Shortly after I came to OpenText, I wanted to start an initiative that would complement the existing D&I programs that were implemented in our offices around the world. So, some colleagues and I got together and started one of our own! Our objective was to promote mentorship for women; we wanted to create an environment where women could be supported, encouraged and coached in their career journeys. We also wanted to see more women becoming brand ambassadors for OpenText. Our initiative took off quite quickly, and before we knew it, we had all kinds of industry leaders coming to OpenText to speak to our women employees and inspire them. I am proud to see this initiative grow, and I can't wait to see where it goes in the years to come.
What do you love most about working at OpenText?
I love creating new ways to build solutions for our customers and also having the opportunity to give back to the community.
What has been one of your biggest accomplishments at OpenText thus far?
Even though I've only been with OpenText for just over a year, I feel like I've had the chance to work on so many incredible projects. Within the first few months that I was here, I was able to establish our Output Management Solution team–and together, we completed a major project in record time!
In March, we celebrate International Women's Day. Why is this day important to you?
International Women's Day reinstates the key role that women play in all areas of life–not just in their professional roles, but in their homes, their communities and in the global economy.
You recently attended the Grace Hopper Celebration in India. What was that experience like?
I've been part of the Grace Hopper Celebration from the very first year it started in India–as a member and also as a speaker. To me, the Grace Hopper Celebration provides a great platform for people to network, learn from one another and get inspired by so many senior women in leadership roles.
This is also a great opportunity to showcase our organization and display some of the cool work that the company is doing. Just to give an example: the first cloud based print service from HP was demoed at the GHC back in 2011.
Last year, the celebration was bigger than ever, with an even stronger focus on career progression–both in technical as well as leadership roles. It also covered some of the key innovations happening in the STEM field. I was honoured to be a part of it all.
Anything else you'd like to share about yourself and/or your perspective on diversity in the workplace?

WANTED: Adults who LOVE God, Bible Stories and Kids!
By Kate Bell Director of Children's Ministry.
A question that people like to ask me is, "Why are you in children's ministry?" My first answer is, "God called, and it feels like this is where I am supposed to be". That's in parallel to loving kids (and their families) and exploring Bible stories through their eyes. Just this week, I had the honor of witnessing one preschooler explaining to another why it's sad that Jesus died on the cross, but why it's also happy. She also told the class that we need to be like Jesus because he loves us. So true, and at 4 years old.
It's beautiful to watch this community grow in curious, diverse and fulfilling ways – and to hear how a kid sees God or hold the hand of a child who is finding their way, is a gift.
A wonderful teacher named Mary Chhuani wrote: "Teaching in Sunday school is one of the greatest opportunities in the world to serve God because it is a life-changing process. But with that opportunity come responsibility. Teaching Sunday school is different from most teaching. It involves a spiritual curriculum, the Bible; it involves the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20); it involves a life that is transforming, a supernatural unction, God's calling and the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, the role of a Sunday school teacher is not just an instructor but also the responsibility for the spiritual welfare of the students. It has a much broader task than just communicating biblical truth." AND – it's fun!
At Christ Church Cranbrook, we share God's love and message with Godly Play – a Montessori approach to teaching. It may look a little intimidating from the outside, but once you take that step of faith, cross the threshold, knowing God is present, it's an amazing journey. I challenge you to consider this ministry and join in on the experience.
Our older Elementary kids are given a glorious gift of their own Bible. As a teacher in this age group, the leaders are also able to dive a little deeper, explore a little more and grow in only ways that God knows.
There's a place for you – or someone you know – to be a guide, to be a story teller, to connect with the future of our church and the world. I'm looking for more teachers/leaders/adults to be part of the Children's Ministry Sunday School program – I'm praying activity for our group to grow to meet the needs of the little ones in this big world.
Stay connected to the Christ Church community through event updates, articles, news and more.

Delicate paper Snowflakes are the best way to decorate your house before Christmas or New Year holiday, to create the atmosphere of winter fairy tale and spend the time gaily with your kids cutting snowflakes from paper. If you don`t know how to do it, join us and we`ll teach you. Today we`ll show you how to make a Christmas ornament in the quilling technique — a marvelous SNOWFLAKE. The photos of the detailed description of work are applied.
To make the Snowflake in the quilling technique you`ll need white or colored paper, scissors, glue and a bit of diligence.
First cut and roll up paper into such strips-spirals — they are the structural units in this technique.
Flattening a bit a coil from one side, we`ll have a «drop» spiral.
We`ll also need such an element as the crossbar with the coils at its ends.
Here are all the needed elements — our non-assembled Snowflake.
In turn take spirals and crossbars and attach them together with glue.
In the long run we`ll have such a beauty.
I`ll use it to make with my daughter before Christmas. It`s lovely!
My daughter and I had fun making it. It's really beautiful.


Blog/Use Cases/Can Blockchain Secure the Internet of Things?
In December, a group of companies interested in using blockchain as a tamper-proof method in IoT applications held a meeting, New Horizons: Blockchain x IoT Summit, in Berkeley, California. The goal was to define the scope and implementation of a "smart contracts" IoT protocol layer. This consortium includes startups like Ambisafe, BitSE, Chronicled, ConsenSys, Distributed, Filament, Hashed Health, Ledger, Skuchain, and Slock.it, along with a few large companies like BNY Mellon, Bosch, Cisco, Gemalto and Foxconn.
Currently participation in the group is voluntary without any formal membership or governance structures, emphasizing fast-moving open source collaboration.
Alex Batlin, Head of Blockchain at BNY Mellon, one of the real leaders in the area of Blockchain, said "What's missing today is a solution that provides trusted, tamper-proof guarantees for any title deed, public record, compliance event, or transaction, building on the way paper documents are used currently.
Blockchain provides some attractive properties for securing IoT applications because it maintains tamper-proof traces of encrypted transactions between devices with no need to keep such records in a central repository. Blockchain, at least in theory, would render the "man in the middle" attack impossible, alleviating one of IoT's biggest security concerns. It would also prevent the introduction of counterfeit parts anywhere in the supply chain.
A drawback of using blockchain, especially in IoT, is requiring devices to encrypt and decrypt transactions, and the storage of an ever-increasing transaction record history along a blockchain. Also, a device may experience a sudden burst of incoming transactions and needs to forward to many different devices or nodes efficiently. In other words, a point-to-point connection between devices or nodes can bring the whole traffic flow to a halt.
Just like with blockchain in financial services, a loosely coupled architecture with a messaging layer between devices or nodes will make a lot of sense. A message broker in the middle can feed on each node's transaction record ledger and act as a data burst shock absorber, a traffic manager (by disseminating or aggregating transaction records), and a cryptographic engine. It's an exciting development for industrial grade IoT, and we'll be watching this space closely as it evolves.
