Founding UK Editor-in-Chief, WIRED (2008-17).
Author of Amazon #1 business bestseller "Non-Bullshit Innovation: Radical Ideas from the World's Smartest Minds."
The leading authority on technology's impact on business.
Digital and Social Media · Futurist and Technology · Innovation and Creativity
David Rowan explains compellingly how emerging technologies will impact business — and how leaders should prepare now. As former founding Editor-in-Chief of WIRED magazine's UK edition, David came to know the founders of WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Google, Didi, Spotify, Xiaomi, Nest, Twitter and countless other ambitious startups from Tel Aviv to Shenzhen. He has since invested in more than 60 early-stage tech companies, including two that became billion-dollar "unicorns", and is an adviser to Lakestar, one of Europe's largest venture-capital funds.
David's Amazon #1 business bestseller "Non-Bullshit Innovation: Radical Ideas from the World's Smartest Minds" (Penguin, 2019) has been published in Japan, Korea, Russia, Ukraine and beyond. The book, a 20- country quest for bold corporate innovation in the face of technology-led disruption, sets out sixteen proven strategies for future-proofing a successful business — helping leaders build resilience in a post-COVID-19 world.
David has been a technology columnist for The Times, GQ, Condé Nast Traveller and The Sunday Times, and hosts a new podcast series about tech founders called Walks With Founders. He has been asked to give more than 600 keynotes in recent years, and has received repeat requests to present for clients such as Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Google, KPMG, McKinsey, Chanel and Unilever. David has moderated events for the World Economic Forum and the UK and French governments, and is increasingly in demand to host webinars and virtual conferences.
David deconstructs tech trends in real time, unpacking how major innovations like artificial intelligence, quantum computing, autonomous vehicles, and more, are changing businesses and consumers. He focuses on how technology-led innovation can build prosperity even in economic downturns and amid the COVID-19 crisis.
He delivers fascinating and knowledgeable presentations full of insight into the future of technology together with lively examples and engaging video clips which reveal that, in some cases, the future is already here. He's typically asked to speak about how innovation and technology are likely to impact a particular sector (from manufacturing to motoring), and what incumbent companies can do to protect themselves.
David Rowan customises every talk, and in recent months has addressed audiences in finance, fashion, utilities, television, insurance, shipping, travel, real estate and business software. He also speaks a lot about changing business models, and how companies can develop a culture of innovation.
FINDING OPPORTUNITY AMID THE CRISIS: Technology offers hope for optimism as we emerge from the coronavirus crisis.
WHY BUSINESS INNOVATION HAS NEVER MATTERED MORE.
TEN LESSONS FROM THE NON-BULLSHIT INNOVATORS.
WHAT TECHNOLOGY MEANS FOR THE FUTURE OF YOUR INDUSTRY.
THE FUTURE OF THE WORKPLACE.
WHY IT'S TIME TO CHALLENGE THE TECH MONOPOLIES.
THE TEN NEW RULES OF BUSINESS.
HOW TO OPTIMISE CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT.
WHY PURPOSE PLUS PROFIT IS THE NEW MANTRA.
EVENT MODERATING.
Here are the growth opportunities — from re-inventing supply chains to rethinking education to building new brand heroes.
COVID-19 has forced business leaders to move insanely fast to adapt. But how do you build a culture of effective innovation? Here are the lessons from David's 20-nation quest for non-bullshit innovation.
David Rowan travelled across the world to understand what it takes for businesses and governments to leverage digital transformation in exciting ways. He shares ten lessons from his new book Non-Bullshit Innovation that can be applied to all sorts of organisations.
David researches and prepares bespoke presentations for client meetings. Recent subjects have included the future of food and drink (clients including Unilever, Coca-Cola, Barilla); the future of aviation (IATA); the future of real estate (CBRE, Leading Real Estate, Cushman & Wakefield); the future of media (Sky, Schibsted, BBC); the future of healthcare (BUPA, Vitality, Kaiser Permanente); the future of financial services (Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan).
How to attract talent, and motivate your team to perform its best work, in a fast-changing world when the "workplace" is more fluid than ever before.
David has moderated events for the UK and French governments; World Economic Forum; Pictet; Royal Academy of Engineering. He has hosted numerous awards ceremonies, frequently interviews CEOs on stage, and is often asked to host multi-day events.
Non-Bullshit Innovation: Radical Ideas from the World's Smartest Minds.
'In this remarkable book, David Rowan tells a story of transformation: how an organisation has found a new way of doing things through innovation driven by ruthless entrepreneurial imagination. What is especially useful is that he does not just stick with small startups, let alone dreamy "inventors". He finds innovation in big companies and even within governments.' - Matt Ridley, The Times.
David Rowan travels the globe in search of the most exciting and pioneering startups building the future. He's got to know the founders of WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Google, Spotify, Xiaomi, Didi, Nest, Twitter and countless other ambitious entrepreneurs disrupting businesses in almost every sector. And yet too often the companies they're disrupting don't get it. They think they can innovate through jargon: with talk of change agents and co-creation gurus, ideas portals and webinars, make-a-thons and hackfests, paradigm shifts and pilgrimages to Silicon Valley. It's mostly pointless innovation theatre ― corporate nonsense that has little to do with delivering real change. But during this quest he's also discovered some genuinely exciting and transformative approaches to innovation, often in places you might least expect.
Get ready for:
· The airline that rewards passengers for walking their dog
· The bank that performs surgery
· The country that's an app store
Packed full of tips for anyone looking for radical ways to adapt and thrive in the digital age, this carefully curated selection of stories will reveal ideas for creating genuine innovation from some of the world's most inspiring leaders.
How the WhatsApp founders built the ultimate startup.

Daily Paper is a menswear brand, founded in 2010 in Amsterdam, Holland. They have a unique take on contemporary men's street fashion influenced by the founder's African heritage.
Their ready-to-wear garments have a retro appeal, with bold graphics and original takes on fashion staples. Every collection demonstrates how attention to quality tailoring can make even t-shirts into one-of-a-kind pieces.
Fashion Blog to Fashion Label Daily Paper's founders - Abderrahmane Trabsini, Hussein Suleiman and Jefferson Osei - first worked together on a fashion and lifestyle blog that they launched in 2008. Their shared knowledge of fashion and interest in design, along with a growing online following, meant that the jump to starting their own label was inevitable. So, in 2010 Daily Paper was founded and it didn't take long for the industry to notice their seemingly fearless reinterpretations of traditional menswear.
Positive Mindset Daily Paper's clear dislike for playing it safe when it comes to tailoring and design reflects the positive, open, adventurous attitude of the people behind the brand. It is this mindset, suited to the culture of their hometown, that results in clothing collections that always stand out from the crowd.
Cut & Sew Sportswear You can see high-end influences in Daily Paper's cut and sew pieces. However the apparel is always grounded in a casual, sportswear feel, that makes the clothes suitable for everyday wear. They remain accessible, while breaking with norms and making you feel you have purchased something unique.

Picking Apart President Obama's "Progressive" State of the Union Speech
Phony baloney
Posted on January 23, 2015 by Dave LIndorff
There were two times Republicans broke into fervent applause during this lame duck president's seventh State of the Union speech: the first was when he called for passage of "fast track" authority to negotiate and send to the Senate a Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade pact — basically a NAAFTA for the Pacific region; the second was when he noted that he "won't be running for president again."
The applause came because those were the two most significant things that the president said in what was otherwise a pathetic and dreary exercise in posing as a liberal progressive reformer now that there isn't a chance in hell that any of his supposedly pro-middle-class proposals for reform will become law.
The cheering for the TPP on the Republican side of the House Chamber came because Republicans, unabashedly the party of capitalism, are all about reducing tariffs, freeing corporations to move to the cheapest labor countries in search of bigger profits, and the hell with American jobs being lost. They are happy to give the president and his not-so-brazenly, and yet still equally pro-capitalist Democratic minority in Congress, their support in passing the wholly pro-corporate TPP.
Obama alluded in his talk to the reality that NAAFTA, CAAFTA and other treacherous trade deals "haven't always done as promised to protect jobs and the environment," but he promised to do better this time. If that's the case though, why would he want "fast track" authority, which means negotiating with other countries like China and Indonesia in secret, and then presenting Congress with a final treaty that must be voted on up or down with no amendments or changes? It's all a giant scam that will end up eroding US jobs further. The president claimed that "export-oriented" jobs pay more than other jobs, which might be correct, but he failed to note that trade deals cut two ways: they do promote exports, but they also by definition promote imports by reducing tariffs on imported goods and services, and those imports are job killers. Worse yet, trade deals enable US companies to pull up stakes and move manufacturing work abroad because they can then produce the goods cheaper and ship them back to the US market thanks to new lower tariffs on imports.
As for his line about no longer running for president, that is precisely what made such a joke about all his proposals for taxing the rich more, making community college free to all, and "doing more to make it easier for workers to form unions," etc. None of those proposals will ever become law because he and the Democratic Party, thanks to six years of selling out progressive voters who elected them when they had two, and later still at least one house of Congress in their control, has now lost control of both houses. And Republicans don't have to listen to what the president wants, since he's on the way out. No wonder they all cheered that admission by the president that his sell-by date was approaching.
Why are all these Republicans standing and clapping for President Obama during his State of the Union speech?
And those progressive proposals of his? They really aren't that big a deal when you look at them closer.
Take that call for taxing the rich more. It's really about raising an additional $320 billion in taxes on the wealthy, primarily by slightly raising the capital gains tax to 28%. But that's over 10 years, and it's still not much higher than what a middle-class worker pays on earned wages. The actual increase in taxes on the wealthy then, for just using money to make more money, would only bring in an additional $32 billion per year, which is only half of what analysts say the cost of making community college free would cost! Given that there are 100 million US taxpayers, most of them "middle class" (which the president apparently defines as over poverty level, and earning less than $200,000 per year), the $360 billion in tax breaks they would receive (also over ten years) under his proposals, would work out to only $36 billion per year, or $360 per taxpayer per year. Nice if you can get it, but hardly an amount that would make a dent in the chasm of a wealth gap that has opened up in the US over the last two decades.
The president notably did not offer to expand Social Security, which makes his line about wanting to work with a Republican Congress "in areas where we agree" very ominous — given that it was this president who, until massively bombarded with protests from his supporters, was backing a sleight-of-hand called "chained-CPI" that would reduce the annual inflation adjustment in Social Security benefits and steal tens of thousands of dollars from Social Security recipients.
He said nothing about any serious and concrete effort to tackle climate change, instead just trumpeting the agreement reached at the last climate summit in Lima between China and the US to work to reduce their emissions of global warming gases. This was pretty weak beer at a time when climate experts are warning that the entire Arctic ice cap is going to vanish this summer or next summer at the latest. That is a Rubicon that will set in motion an irreversible heat wave that could see vast clouds of methane gas belching up from the exposed permafrost of the tundras and from the shallow seafloor of the Siberian and North American continental shelves in the Arctic ocean (a process that is already underway).
The president said almost nothing about poverty either. The closest he came was a call for Congress to raise the federal minimum wage, which at $14,500 a year for a full-time job is lower in real dollar purchasing power today than it was in 1980. Instead he focused only on the supposedly long-suffering middle class.
While it's true that the middle class is hurting from the still lingering recession that began in late 2007, the poor are in desperate straits, with even traditional support programs like Aid to Families with Dependent Children and Food Stamps being cut back, while poverty soars. Only this past week a study revealed that for the first time in half a century, more than 50% of children in the nation's public schools live in families who are below the poverty line. Another study released around the same time found that one in thirty children in the US are homeless. Those dire statistics make a joke of any of the school reform efforts that abound, from the charter school movement to the obsession with testing and Common Core curriculum "reform" to attacks on teacher tenure. Many studies, in the US and abroad, make it clear that poverty is an overriding cause for poor student performance. Deal with poverty and you will make real headway in improving US education. Ignore it, and no reforms will achieve anything of consequence. This issue got no attention from the president.
What did get Obama excited was calling on Congress to pass a new Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), like the one passed in 2001 to launch the disastrous so-called War on Terror and the invasion of Afghanistan and the one passed in 2003 to launch the disastrous and criminal invasion of Iraq. With those two wars still raging (despite the president's ludicrous claim that they are now ended!), he was calling for this new AUMF to authorize him to launch a yet another war, this time against Syria.
So much for not having a foreign policy "based upon fear," which he said in his address was not a good idea. Um, it would have to be fear that would justify going to war in Syria because of a few thousand jihad-crazed Muslim fanatics attacking other Muslims there and Iraq, since none of that fighting poses any kind of existential risk to the US.
The real danger of Congress passing another AUMF, which the president obviously knows but equally obviously favors, is that President George W. Bush and VP Dick Cheney successfully used the first one in 2001 and the second in 2003 to destroy the Bill of Rights, backed by a conservative Supreme Court that has been holding that when the nation is in a state of war, presidents have essentially dictatorial powers. Giving this president a new open-ended AUMF, as the other two appear to be running out of any justification, would just extend that excuse for wholesale ignoring and undermining of the Constitution.
All in all, this State of the Union address was an outrage and a joke.
It would be bad enough if, at this late point in his second term of office, this president had really come through with a New Deal-like proposal for a whole progressive transformation of the US economy. Bad enough because he should have, and could have, done that back at his first SOTU address in January 2009, at a time when the Democratic Party was in control of both the House and the Senate and he had an electorate that had elected him overwhelmingly in expectation of dramatic action. Instead he began his first term as the nation's first black president by backing away from every progressive promise that he had made while campaigning, starting with telling workers that he would defer a promise to immediately pass "card check" legislation making it much easier to organize a union (that idea ended up being dropped entirely by the Obama White House). But in this latest speech he offered up only pale imitations and illusions of progressive reform: tiny tax breaks for the middle class, tiny tax increases for the wealthy, vague calls for climate action, for for a higher minimum wage and for making it easier for unions to organize (no details there).
It appears what the president was really doing in this SOTU speech was setting things up so that Democrats, who for six years have done nothing of consequence for ordinary Americans (and that includes passage of the very pro-insurance-industry Affordable Care Act, instead of a Canadian-style single-payer state-owned medical insurance: Medicare for all), and who got punished for it by losing the Senate and losing more seats in the House last November, can spend the next two years harmlessly posing as progressives. They won't have to actually deliver anything since they are now in the minority. That way, they hope they can delude the voters once again into thinking they're serious so they can again win the presidency and maybe win back the Senate in 2016. Meanwhile, they hope the party's corporate backers on Wall Street, and in the corporate suites of the arms industry, the pharmaceutical industry, the insurance industry and other sectors, will understand that they don't really mean it about progressive reform, and will thus keep bankrolling them, knowing that if they succeed in taking back control in DC, they will once again be the willing servants of corporate America.
Meanwhile, the state of the nation continues to deteriorate apace.

There is a girl. She thinks of herself as a girl even though she's no longer a girl, but a woman. A woman who's a mother to three girls. She thinks of herself as a girl maybe because children are allowed to be beautifully lost and wandering in that soft, cinematic way. Girls are allowed to dream and desire and make mistakes. Women are supposed to know better. To be organized and plot and plan and take care of people. She thinks of herself as a girl not because she wants to go back. She's surprised to like her age, her stage, the path she's taken. She wouldn't change a thing, even the hard stuff. And yet. In her soul, she's still a girl with questions, big, unruly, amazing questions that inspire her and make her smile.
There is a girl. She sits at a vast white kitchen island six days into a brand new year. It is 2015, a year that once struck her as foolishly futuristic and yet it is very real. It is early morning. 5:20am. The house, her house, is exquisitely quiet and she sits shrouded in the type of peace that evades her the rest of the day. She is exhausted and alive. Sipping coffee from an enormous mug. She smiles.
There is a girl and she knows something. She knows it because she learned it the hard way. She knows that even in this big, bad world where everyone is taught to hold it together, to fake it to make it, to pretend, to play princess make believe, the most stunningly powerful thing is to be is real. Real. What does that mean? She knows. Being real is breathing and saying things that don't take effort. Being real is surrendering and surviving and celebrating. Being real is saying again and again, quietly and out loud: I am a human being. I am not perfect, but I care. I care deeply about myself and my life, about people and places and stories and characters and what happens. I'm invested and in love and I'm sometimes I'm scared and sometimes I'm happy in a way that scares me and sometimes I'm sad too or overwhelmed or overjoyed.
There is a girl. She started a blog almost seven years ago. Seven years. The number startles her because she remembers being seven. She remembers sitting cross-legged on her top bunk in a big room she shared with her sisters, pondering the world. She remembers turning eight and thinking, But I want to be seven forever. Seven is the best age! She remembers these things, this girl, like they were yesterday. But they weren't yesterday. Her oldest daughter just turned eight. Time is passing in swift, staggering gusts.
There is a girl and she's changed. The melancholy that came when the world became tricky and her father died has largely lifted and she's left, in her life, at her white island, with a lot of love and a lot of hope. She believes good things will happen. She believes her own girls are thriving, that her marriage is sweet and sound. She believes that there will be many books because she's so in love with stories, with people in her life and in her mind who are gorgeously flawed who want things and struggle to get them. She believes in resolution and in redemption, in beginnings and endings and most fervently, in magically muddled middles.
There is a girl. She is a lover of life's blank pages, bright screens, fresh starts, early mornings. She is optimistic about what's to come if she continues to tell the truth as she knows it, to be vulnerable even when it's easier to pretend. Vulnerable. It's a funny, clumsy world. A brilliant one, too.
There is a girl. She sits at the island in the quiet home and she smiles. It's 5:36am now. Time for another cup of coffee, another good day.
Happy 2015, guys! I will admit that I've been dragging a bit to motivate in this beloved blog world, but I am back at it now, full of energy (or is that caffeine? :)) and ready to spend the month, this tenth (!) month of my HERE Year talking about Vulnerability. I believe, and deeply, that so many of us flee the present moment of our lives because it makes us feel exposed and vulnerable. I believe that we knowingly and unknowingly distract ourselves and numb ourselves so as not to feel fully our selves and our lives.
Lindsey and I will spend January exploring the link between Presence and Vulnerability and will do this by penning vulnerable posts, examining Vulnerability in a more academic/theoretical sense and inviting all of you to do the same. Do you have vulnerable words you'd be willing to share with me and perhaps all of us? Do you have any particular thoughts on the power of vulnerability in a world that so often tries to eliminate it? Email me at aidandonnelleyrowley (at) gmail (dot) com or leave a comment below.
Do you ever think of yourself as a girl or as a boy?
Have you ever experienced blogger (or other) burnout?
Do you believe in the power of vulnerability?
Do you have any big resolutions (or un-resolutions) for the new year?

How to ensure even feeding of the mill?
Summary of contents: According to different process requirements, the mill is divided into leather grinding, heart grinding, slag grinding and tail grinding. Mechanical design engineers design different technical parameters and different traits for different parts of the mill according to different process requirements, so that the mill can meet the specific requirements of the grinding effect of different parts of the milling process.
According to different process requirements, the mill is divided into leather grinding, heart grinding, slag grinding and tail grinding. Mechanical design engineers design different technical parameters and different traits for different parts of the mill according to different process requirements, so that the mill can meet the specific requirements of the grinding effect of different parts of the milling process.
1. The feed hopper is large enough.
The mill feed hopper, commonly known as the observation tube, is generally made of plexiglass for observation of stored materials. It is large enough to prevent fluctuations in the flow and acts as a buffer to make the material flowing out of the hopper uniform.
2. The feed baffle is sealed reliably.
The feeding baffle is a movable plate which is in contact with the feeding door under the feeding hopper and can be rotated. The servo is moved by the feeding door, the lower edge is always closely attached to the feeding door, and the upper edge is hinged to the mechanical structure. Grinding the lower part. The material can only flow out evenly from the gap between the feeding door and the feeding roller, otherwise it will affect the feeding effect and affect the grinding effect. Uneven feeding is generally a problem in this part. If the side leaks, the surface is a side leakage, which is actually a different problem caused by two reasons. First, it is true that the sealing effect on both sides of the feeding baffle is not good.
The fine material leaks from the gap between the feeding baffle and the side plate of the mill, and a flow layer slightly thicker than other parts is formed at both ends of the feeding roller. Another problem is that a slat plate is installed between the feed rollers before and after the heart, slag and tail grinding. Since the slat plate is fixed on the side plate of the mill, the fixing plate of the fixed slat plate itself has a thickness. When the material flows down the side plate of the mill, it encounters a fixed plate, and the flow will be concentrated to form a small strand of "hidden". Don't underestimate this small stock. If this small stock flows to the grinding roller, if it is dispersed, the impact is not serious. If it does not spread on the grinding roller, the consequences are very serious. The above problems must be noticed during design and processing, and solved in a reasonable way to ensure that the material flowing into the rolling distance is uniform. General solution: Improve the processing accuracy of the baffle plate and adopt a reasonable sealing method; change the fixing method of the slat plate to prevent the material from flowing due to the installation of the slat plate.
3. Reasonably design the surface properties of the feeding roller.
Manufacturers of surface properties of feed rolls have mostly been solved, but attention should be paid to the details. Generally, the feeding rolls are divided into a skin, a rough skin and a fine skin, and the heart grinding, the tail grinding and the slag grinding are consistent. In recent years, various manufacturers have made many improvements based on their own experience, and the effect is getting better and better.


Welcome to the inaugural issue of Juxtapositions: A Journal of Haiku Research and Scholarship (ISSN 2378-6566). We hope you are as excited as we are to see the launch of this important scholarly outlet for haiku research. Such a journal comes at an opportune time in the evolution of haiku from a literary niche in the West through much of the 20th century, to a worldwide form of sophisticated poetic expression with an increasingly diverse and deep body of scholarship and research. Yet to date, no publication has dedicated itself solely to the exploration of haiku as a form worthy of formal scholarly investigation. Juxtapositions fills this lacunae.
Since the seminal work of R. H. Blyth appeared in the 1950s and set a benchmark on scholarly investigations of the form in the West, many haiku journals have published essays of exegesis on the Japanese masters or explored emerging efforts of Western poets to find their haiku voice. Juxtapositions for the first time provides a single scholarly outlet for these investigations in a peer-reviewed academic journal.
We sincerely hope university faculty, haiku essayists, poets and reviewers from across the spectrum regardless of background or national origin see fit to submit their prose work in English to Juxtapositions. I am very pleased by the quality of our strong editorial board. They are each accomplished and knowledgeable haiku researchers in their own right who, together, seek to ground haiku studies in the literary mainstream of academic scholarship in the West.
There is fertile ground for diverse explorations and research in this publication. Among the articles included in this first issue is a study on the haiku of the late Nobel Laureate Tomas Tranströmer, "Aesthetics of Discipline: Transtromer's Prison Haiku." Another explores a Lacanian approach to haiku. Still another the work of poet and philosopher James W. Hackett. And much more. Of particular interest to haiku scholars will doubtless be the authoritative bibliography we've titled "A Scholar's Library of Haiku in English" covering the seminal research on the form, and its practitioners, published in English in monograph over the last century. It is very much a living document and the editors would welcome added entries.
As senior editor, I wish to thank each of our editors who have worked so hard to bring this first issue together, and to Jim Kacian and The Haiku Foundation (THF) for serving as our publisher. Please have a look at our host website, which will also inform you of the Foundation's mission, as well as our goals for JUXTA. The journal is formatted for indexing in the major online abstracting services, and will eventually be fully searchable via library databases and the web. For now the journal is free. A subscription model remains under discussion.
Please send us your feedback and thoughts. We welcome inquiries from anyone interested in writing articles or book reviews for the journal. Our submission criteria is on the THF website. Once again, we thank you for your readership and interest. We hope you will spread the word of this seminal endeavor and become a part of future issues.

Q: Leaflet - Fitbounds and keep center I'm using Leaflet with Mapbox and I'd like to set the view of the map so :

*

*all markers are visible

*the center is set to a specific point

It's easy to do each points separately with setView and fitbounds but I don't know how to have both at the same time since setView changes the bounds and fitBounds changes the center. A solution could be to define a center and a zoom but how can I know which zoom will allow all my markers to be visible ?
EDIT
I implemented the solution suggested by IvanSanchez and it works as expected:
let ne=leafletBounds.getNorthEast();
let sw=leafletBounds.getSouthWest();
let neSymetric=[ne.lat + (center.lat - ne.lat)*2, ne.lng + (center.lng - ne.lng)*2];
let swSymetric=[sw.lat +(center.lat - sw.lat)*2, sw.lng + (center.lng - sw.lng)*2];
leafletBounds.extend(L.latLngBounds(swSymetric, neSymetric));

A: Get your bounds, and create a second L.Bounds instance by applying point symmetry along the centerpoint you want. Create a new L.Bounds containing the original bounds and the symmetric bounds. Run fitBounds() with that.

A: I found another solution to this. You can simply call map.panTo([lat, lng]) after you've adjusted your map with fitBound(). I am using VueJs and calling this in the mounted() lifecycle hook.
I am fitting bounds so you can see a user's location and also a geographic feature far away, but then I use panTo so the user's real location is at the center of the map after fitBounds. It seems to work seamlessly so far.

Lahiri and Mane determined to get back to Paris 2024 after Tokyo disappointment
SAITAMA, JAPAN – JULY 29: Udayan Mane of India plays a shot on the ninth hole during the first round of the MenÕs Individual Stroke Play event on Day 9 of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics at the Kasumigaseki Country Club on July 29, 2021 in Saitama, Japan. (Photo by Stan Badz/PGA TOUR/IGF)
India's Anirban Lahiri left the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 deflated after failing to launch a medal charge for his country but hopes to be third time lucky if he can fight his way to Paris 2024.
The PGA TOUR star had opened his campaign in Tokyo on a promising note following a first round 4-under 67 at Kasumigaseki Country Club last week before adding a pair of 72s and a 68 to share 42nd position in what was his second Olympic Games appearance. Countryman Udayan Mane finished 56th out of the 60 golfers in the men's competition.
"Very disappointed," said Lahiri. "I just couldn't get it going after the first day. Got off to bad starts every day including the first round and just played certain stretches really bad. I think that's the story of my week. To be honest, my game just wasn't there. You definitely learn to be patient, learn to be persistent as you still have to grind it out and try to come in with your best score even when you don't have your best game. It's disappointing as this opportunity only comes once every four years, five years in this case.
"Hopefully in three years' time, I can do better. You really want to be maxing it out and playing your best when the opportunity comes. I came here feeling good about my game, got off to a good start but after that, it kind of fizzled out."
Despite the disappointment, Lahiri is ever ready to don the tricolours of India again if the opportunity arises in Paris. "It's one of those things you really want to do. You just look at the way guys are playing, some are shooting really impressive scores and in contention for a medal and it might be the highlight of their career or for their country who may not have as many medals and it's a big deal," he said.
"You have a lot of dominant countries like the U.S., China and Russia and they have a boatload of medals. But there are lot of countries that don't have a lot of medals and we (India) are looking at two and maybe a third. You could make a huge difference and that's what I look at as an opportunity to make a difference. So in three years' time, if I have the opportunity for Paris, I'll definitely take it," he said.
Lahiri, who holds seven victories in Asia, will now switch focus back to the PGA TOUR's FedExCup race where he currently ranks 115th on the points list. After competing in his fifth event during a six-week stretch leading to Tokyo, the 34-year-old will take this week off before returning to action at the Wyndham Championship next week which is the final event of the Regular Season. The top-125 qualify for the lucrative FedExCup Playoffs.
"This week has been physically very challenging and it definitely took a lot out of my body in this heat. I'm going to rest up, and make minor tweaks in some departments which didn't fire really well and get refocused for Wydham and try to finish the season strong," said Lahiri.
Mane, who was making his Olympic Games debut, knows he has plenty of work to do to match the world's best. "I've got to start practising in a more focused way and I'm going to change the way I approach the game and also start traveling outside of India a lot more as that's where the action is. That's where I'll get better," said the 30-year-old.
"The biggest take away is that I've got to be way more confident with myself and not worry about the golf course or the people. My short game needs to improve. I saw guys chipping in and making those tough up and downs. I have some mental work to do in terms of backing myself up. Otherwise, I feel my game is headed in the right way. There was way too many positives to take from this week."
His time in the Games Village was also an eye-opener. "Those are the best memories. Just to see the best athletes in the world there and they do their own thing. It's awesome to see them being so focused and not being deviated from their routine. I have a lot to learn from that."

Canadian church to boycott settlements' products
United Church of Canada votes in favor of consumers' boycott on goods produced in West Bank, east Jerusalem. Canadian Jewish community fuming
News agencies |Published: 08.16.12 , 08:13
The United Church of Canada (UCC), the country's largest Protestant denomination, voted Wednesday in favor of a consumers' boycott of goods produced in Jewish settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, Canadian media reported.
According to the Toronto Star, Wednesday's vote was preceded by nearly six hours of delibertions.
Report: EU's boycott of settlement trade legal
EU drops Modiin from 'eligible imports' list
The report quoted Bruce Gregersen, a United Church general council spokesperson, as saying that the boycott was "a significant step."
The UCC's general council will vote Friday on whether to make a boycott a permanent part of church policy.
Canada's Jewish community was stunned to learn of the decision. The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs in Toronto issues a statement saying that it was "Outraged by the decision by the United Church of Canada to single out Israeli communities for boycott.
"The Centre is equally offended by the Church's expression of regret for previously calling for Palestinian recognition of Israel's Jewish character," the group said on its website.
"This decision represents a radical shift in the United Church's policies, betrays the views of the vast majority of its members, and flies in the face of decades of constructive interfaith dialogue.
"In choosing this morally reckless path, the United Church has equally dismissed the concerns of the overwhelming majority of the Canadian Jewish community."
David Koschitzky, Chairman of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, said: "No mainstream Jewish organization, including Canadian Friends of Peace Now, endorses Boycott. Even the leadership of the American left-wing group J-Street has publicly condemned boycotts as counterproductive.
"Support for the boycott tactic is limited to a small fringe. Tragically, the UCC chose to join that fringe, rather than listen to the nearly 100,000 families who are members of Jewish Federations across Canada, and on whose behalf the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs speaks.
"The Church equally ignored some 70 Canadian Rabbis of all streams and from every province, representing tens of thousands of Canadian Jewish families, who made their opposition known in writing," he said.
In declaring a boycott, the UCC has "Damaged the Church's standing amongst Canadians and have profoundly compromised the UCC's ability to play any constructive role in making a positive impact for peace," Koschitzky concluded.

Do You think "disloyal", "lazy", and, most of all "entitled"? Do You believe they are hard to manage? That they expect the best perks ~ flexible work schedules, the ability to telecommute ~ while also needing constant praise?
I believe this negative view is off the mark, and I have faith that they are much, much more.
Millennials are innovative, confident, and at ease with change.
Innovation comes from being more free thinking and willing to try new things. They are not hampered by what has come before. Being new to the workplace means they bring a fresh perspective, not an "entitled" one.
Yes, they want things. They want the benefits that allow them to have a personal, as well as a professional, life. Far from being unreasonable, I see this as a move in the right direction.
Millennials are also driven and want to make an impact wherever they go. Their confidence pushes them to voice their opinions and promote new approaches to things. And those that are willing to listen, will also find themselves thinking beyond the status quo.
I welcome their perspective. Without new voices in the mix, we risk becoming stagnant and out dated. Neither is ever a good thing for any company.
The same can be said for their "tech" skills. More than any other, this generation grew up with technology. From early ages they have used computers, tablets, smart phones ~ you name it.
Being this relaxed frees them from the fear or reticence some older workers deal with when using technology in the workplace. They are more at ease with creating video promotions, using social media, and building company websites.
The biggest criticism of the Millennial generation is that they are disloyal. Many believe they move from job to job without appreciation for the companies that hire them.
This is unfounded. What I see perceived as disloyalty is simply the unwillingness to settle. Instead, of remaining in a company that no longer fits their needs, they are willing to move on and seek employment where they see real growth potential.
I also think much of the fault for this "disloyalty"lies in the company's corner.
Millennials have grown up seeing adults around them lose jobs in companies where they have worked for many years. These companies were willing to let go of long-term employees just to make new hires at lesser salaries.
Loyalty should go both ways, and the Millennials are going in with their eyes wide open. This is not disloyal.
dividing Millennials from their co-workers, they should be embraced.
Each generation of employees within a company can learn from the other. This results in the best of both worlds ~ a marriage between the tried and true and the up and coming.
I argue that this is what each new generation through the history of time brings to the table!
They bring change that often times creates fear and distrust in the preceding generation. Thoughts that "this younger generation is going to be the ruin of our country" are not unique to the Millennials. It has been said time and time again as a new generation enters the workforce.
I chose to believe that these new generations are simply filled with fresh perspectives and ideas on how and why they work.
This should not be met with distrust. We need to see it for what it is ~ a way to stimulate the thinking and the methods that will propel us all into the future.
On a personal note, I find Millennials to be increasingly accepting of others. I think this has much to do with them having grown up in a time where stereotypes are continually being shattered. There is no "norm". This bodes well for cooperative relationships both in and out of the workplace.

Question: According to MSN: Money, what are the hardest top ten (10) colleges to gain admissions?
Gloom deepens for global economy – Pg. 1
The slowdown afflicting the world economy was reflected in disappointing data on US jobs and German manufacturing yesterday, piling pressure on to central bankers to launch a stimulus push
In July the IMF said it predicted the world economy to grow 3.2% this year – less than its estimate at the beginning of 2019. While the fund has predicted a rebound to 3.5% growth in 2020, it has warned that such a recovery was "precarious" since it was premised on stabilization in emerging markets and progress on trade disputes
In the US, jobs growth slowed to its weakest pace in three months in August despite a boost from temporary hiring from census workers…
Non-farm payrolls rose by 130,000 last month…
Goldman cuts its partners down to size – Pg. 12
Not since it went public in 1999 has Goldman been a true "partnership", but it has retained the title, which still brings perks and status that are unique on Wall Street
Goldman has about 450 partners, already down from the almost 500 that Mr Solomon inherited when it took over as chief executive last October, but well above the 221 the bank had when it went public in 1999
"Departnering" can be brutal. Goldman announces new partners with fanfare, but a handful each year are quietly ejected. At the same time, other partners retire or leave voluntarily to run businesses or move into government
Along with salaries of about $950,000 and the potential for sizeable bonuses, the real financial benefit has been privileged access to investment opportunities in companies that have included live sciences firm Avanto and China's ICBC bank. The private equity investments are available to all partners, fee free
About a quarter of the current partners work in trading, which contributes over a third of annual profits. Investment banking has traditionally had a higher concentration of partners relative to its revenue contribution, partly because partnership status can help investment banks to win clients
Fitch cites damage to rule of law in Hong Kong downgrade – Pg. 13
Fitch Ratings has lowered its rating on Hong Kong, citing uncertainty about the stability of the business environmental following months of protests and looming challenges stemming from the city's closer integration with mainland China
…lowering its ranking of the Asian financial hub from double A plus to double A with a negative outlook, signaling the potential for further falls
Fitch said that months of persistent conflict and violence had inflicted long-lasting damage to international perceptions of Hong Kong's governance system and rule of law, as well as calling into question the stability of its business environment
Answer: (10) Princeton University; (9) Harvey Mudd College; (8) Franklin W Olin College of Engineering; (7) Johns Hopkins University; (6) Rice University; (5) Yale University; (4) University of Chicago; (3) Harvard University; (2) Massachusetts Institute of Technology; (1) California Institute of Technology (Prof Note: My two alma maters, Bucknell University and George Washington University did not make this list which was top 50. As I age, I ponder, "What did I really pay for?" There were a few stand-out professors, but not many, that had a personal impact on me. GW's Jabbour expanded my market understanding eight fold with derivatives. This knowledge enabled me to see what others were not seeing in '06/'07'. I continue to ponder, given the high cost of education, the value. I do not believe my alma maters have opened doors for me (though I do believe they have not closed them). What has opened my doors is knowledge and work experience. There is just so much to be said for the community college route and then finishing the final two years at a four-year university given educational costs. Also, there is honour in trades. Look at the average age of tradesman. Learn a trade, build a business, that is how equity and wealth are truly built, right?!)

Question: According to MSN: Money, what are twelve (12) reasons your home is not worth as much as you think?
WeWork's valuation slashed to $20bn from $47bn ahead of IPO – Pg. 1
The sharp fall comes after prospective investors raised doubts about the ability of the lossmaking shared-office provider to become profitable in the near future, …
WeWork is expected to begin a roadshow as soon as next week ahead of the IPO, which would rank as one of the year's biggest.
The lower valuation will leave co-founder and chief executive Adam Neumann stretching to reach targets attached to part of his incentive package, which includes several tranches of profit interests that would vest if the company attained market capitalizations above $50bn, $72bn or $90bn
…noted the gulf between WeWork's valuation and its largest rival, London-listed IWG, which has a market capitalization of 3.7bn (sterling) despite having more sites than WeWork
WeWork reported net losses of $1.9bn for 2018 and said that losses had continued to grow in the first half of this year, from $723m to $904m, despite revenues doubling from $764m to $1.54bn
ECB to consider damage done by negative rates – Pg. 2
The ECB's main deposit rate hit zero that year and successive cuts have left it at minus 0.4% since 2016
Critics say that negative rates weaken the eurozone's already struggling banking system, discouraging lending and motivating insurers, banks and savers to hoard physical cash
Banks are the main source of finance for European companies and households, making them an important transmission mechanism for monetary policy
The debate about negative rates hinges on the idea of a point below which further cuts in a central bank's deposit rate subdue lending activity by banks
It has become more common for European banks to charge fees for current accounts, but they only mitigate a fraction of the extra cost of negative rates
Bank lending to households in the Eurozone has increased more than 10% since the ECB first cut into negative territory in June 2014, while corporate lending has grown by almost 4%
Open option is a tiering system in which a portion of banks' excess deposits are exempt from negative rates. Other countries with negative deposit rates, including Switzerland, Denmark and Japan, have similar ones
And the ECB has another option: subsidized lending. A third progamme of subsidized loans is set to launch this month. The targeted longer-term refinancing operation will lend at a slightly more expensive rate than the previous two, but the ECB could choose next week to sweeten terms
Indian households tighten belts as economic gloom deepens – Pg. 3
India's GDP growth is in its fifth consecutive quarter of deceleration, …tumbling to a six-year low of just 5% year-on-year between April and June. That was down sharply from the disappointing 5.8% in the first three months of 2019, and from 8% in the same quarter the previous year
One of the biggest drags on growth was a sharp deceleration in private consumption, which had been one of the economy's major growth engines over the past few years. Private consumption grew just 3.1% year-on-year from April to June, down from 7% growth in the previous quarter
Household savings – the biggest component of a nation's overall savings rate – have fallen from 23% of GDP in 2012 to 17% this year. Household indebtedness rose from 9% to 11% of GDP in the same period
America's debt-laden students require better policy solutions – Pg. 9
Since 2006, outstanding student debt has quietly tripled to $1.6tn – nearly $35,000 per borrower
That makes it the biggest source of non-mortgage consumer lending, representing around 7% of economic output. It also makes the American government "the largest consumer lender in the United States", since most loans have federal backing …
The debt creates a debilitating economic drag by reducing consumption, entrepreneurial activity and household formation among millennials
….college attendance is a defining trait of middle class identity (Prof Note: I use to agree with this; my beliefs are shifting…)
…other ideas are being tossed around that should be adlopted….one is to develop occupational alternatives to college
…interest rate on loans….this currently stands at 4 to 7% for federal loans, and close to 10% for private debt…
Answer: (1) Not loving laminate; (2) Bar None (Prof Note: Article suggests built-in wine coolers and bars are not trending today); (3) Banish weeds; (4) Good fences make good sales; (5) Cannot have carpet; (6) Pave paradise; (7) Draft dodgers (Prof Note: Article suggest fireplaces are in the past); (8) Put your house in order; (9) Screen savers; (10) Repaint your rooms; (11) Look up; (12) location, Location, LOCATION
Question: According to MSN: Money, who are the top five largest retailers in the U.S.?
Lagarde urges rich nations to spend more – Pg. 2
Telling MEPs that "central banks are not the only game in town", ….urged richer Eurozone governments with low deficits to bolster their crisis-fighting capacities by spending during downturns
In remarks aimed at rich economies such as Germany and the Netherlands, …
Other major central banks, including in the US, have also moved to loosen monetary policy. This has prompted some economists to warn that central banks are running out of tools to fight recessions as interest rates are already at record low levels
The eurozone's attempts to create a common budgetary instrument for crisis times – pooling money in a central pot to help out troubled economies – have been beset by divisions
Ms Lagarde, who, if she wins approval by MEPs, is due to take charge of the ECB on November 1, signaled that she intended to continue Mr Draghi's policies
Spain's 50-year bond caps recovery as crisis era fades – Pg. 19
Spain's 10-year borrowing costs – along with those of its neighbor Portugal – have sunk to within a whisker of zero, carried by a mighty global bond rally which has seen the volume of negative-yielding debt around the world mushroom to some $17tn
Today, a sale of new 50-year Spanish bonds is expected to fetch a yield of roughly 1.5%, if it prices in line with the secondary market
For investors who remember the height of the crisis, when Spain's 10-year yield spiked above 7%, membership of the sub-zero club would cap a stunning victory
…the collapse in borrowing costs chiefly reflects a scramble for any relatively stable asset that yields more than zero
Answer: #5: Walgreens Boots Alliance; #4: Costco; #3: The Kroger Co.; #2: Amazon.com; #1: Walmart

Question: According to MSN: Money, what are seven (7) things one should not put on a resume?
US factory sector dragged down by trade war as growth fears rise – Pg. 1
The US manufacturing sector has contracted for the first time in three years as the US-China trade war weighed on the industrial economy and added to fears over slowing domestic growth
Manufacturing, which in the 1950s employed one in three Americans, has drawn only about 8% of the workforce since the end of the great recession and provided 11% of GDP
Stocks fell after the release of the data, with the S&P 500 down 0.75%, while Treasuries extended their rally. The yield on the US 10-year was 4.9bps lower at 1.457%. Yields move inversely to price
Fall in Turkish inflation raises expectations for cut in rates – Pg. 4
Consumer prices last month were 15.01% higher than a year ago- leaving inflation at its lowest level since May 2018
Falling inflation, combined with a more stable currency, enabled Turkey's central bank to cut rates for the first time in almost a year in July
The Fed is the most reluctant combatant in global currency war – Pg. 18
Years of aggressive monetary easing by the ECB has hacked away at interest rates. Negative deposit rates, rather than supporting bank lending, have instead hindered it. Monetary policy has reached the limits of its effectiveness. Of course, the ECB knows all this.
The simple answer is that easier policy trends to cheapen a country's currency and the foreign exchange channel has become one of the few ways that the ECB can juice up the Eurozone economy
A weaker euro acts as a shock absorber to cushion the blow of weak internal Eurozone economics by improving external dynamics
The US-China trade conflict has created more complications. China's decision to permit renminbi depreciation as an automatic stabilizer creates friction for other Asian central banks, pressuring them to engage in competitive depreciation – a kind of beggar-thy-neighbour policy. Over the past few months, a succession of central banks has eased policy.
…the Fed is understandably reluctant to indulge in aggressive monetary stimulus. The US consumer has stayed resilient amid slowing economic activity, suggesting that the problem is not that interest rates are too high
If the Fed allows interest rates to deviate too far from the ECB's, the US dollar will strengthen
The dark side of falling interest rates is the prospect of riskier investor behavior
Fiscal stimulus is an obvious circuit breaker in this race to the bottom in currencies and yields. The market is making it easy for countries to borrow more, yet governments remain strangely reluctant
Companies are also failing to take advantage of negative yields. To date, only a handful have locked them in the primary market
Answer: (1) Criticism of past employers (Prof Note: Comey drove this point home to me. I found myself not caring if he was right/wrong. I just wanted him to go away. Now he is the one under investigation!); (2) Excuses for past problems (Prof Note: Own your issues, also, do not advertise them!); (3) Irrelevant skills; (4) Old Achievements (Prof Note: That said, I think "Eagle Scout" and other similar accomplishments make a very positive statement about a person. I do struggle, however, if this should be on a professional resume); (5) Poor grammar and spelling (Prof Note: This is ridiculous! Hire a high school English teacher to proofread); (6) Too much information; (7) Anything that is not true (Prof Note: I still remember looking forward to interviewing someone that has designed and implemented a covered strategy for commodities using options. When I asked him about it he literally said, "I was really part of a team and did not understand what was happening. However, I thought it sounded good for the resume." I was deflated and he was DONE!)

Different drug allergies require different ways of prevention and treatment. For example, drug allergy diagnosis or allergy tests may be conducted instead of using the actual medicines. For drugs that cannot be replaced, we need to go through desensitisation and receive medications or biological treatment for different allergy symptoms.


I like the ASU college of engineering and computer science because it doesn't have that Ivy League mentality floating around. The students are friendly, even though they are a little introverted. The CSE department is 70% international students, and so there isn't that "fake" arrogance or vanity that plagues much of the rest of ASU. There are not only a lot of internationals (I am from Australia) attending the college, but also a lot of age groups, which makes for a very interesting experience indeed. I think the philosophy with the students at the department is, if you like what you are studying, most likely your social life will revolve around those people that you share classes with, because the CSE department at ASU is getting harder and harder to get into. My best friends here are the people that help me survive through my classes (especially the microprocessor programming classes, ye gods).
I didn't come to ASU to party, so I don't know anything about life outside of the CSE department.


I had been listening to that song this morning and then walked into the exam room and was greeted with a big smile. She's a widow in her early 70's who has been my patient for around 20 years. She takes care of her grandchildren, loves kids in general, and tries to keep active, despite significant arthritis in her back.
She is also valium for my soul.
Our discussion had a level of familiarity and friendship, her sharing about her granddaughter's inquisitive mind and me returning stories of my son's insatiable appetite for information when he was young (as a 4-year old he peppered me with questions about "welcome centers" for about 20 minutes). We both laughed at each other's stories and I took care of her medical problems and preventive medicine. She complained when I scheduled her colonoscopy. The visit ended with the inevitable hug and an "I love you" from her.
There is something unique in the relationships I have with my long-term patients. I've practiced now for 23 years, and many of those who followed me to this practice were with me from very early on. There's a level of intimacy when you know about a person's health problems, live through emergencies and tragedies in their lives, and have the responsibility of medical care for a person. It goes beyond friendship and familiarity. It really feels like family, but without the complications family brings.
The dangerous thing is to let the familiarity get in the way of the objectivity I have to keep to do a good job with them. But the depth of my care for these people can also serve as a motivation, as I want to keep them around as long as possible...for selfish reasons. Doing the job for this long, I've figured out that balance, but I'm always extra aware of my lack of objectivity with these people.
The opposite kind of patient, the ones who somehow find ways to get under my skin, pose an equal threat. I have to put aside my own emotions and give them all the best care I can give. Something about giving care to them will often ease the negative emotion. I guess it's hard to feel bad toward someone while doing good for them. In truth, I don't have many patients I feel negative toward. Compassion and judgmental attitudes aren't good bedfellows.
But I do let my emotional walls down some with certain people. Some people just make me smile when I see their names on my schedule. It's not that they are nicer than other patients (although that is often true); it's more that they look at me with different eyes: eyes that are grateful, relaxed, and interested in me as a person. My blood pressure goes down after spending time with these people. They care for me and give me emotional care I am grateful for.
It's one of the greatest privileges of my job.
