Shaastra, IIT-M, is an annual student run technical festival of the IIT-M (Indian Institute of Technology, Madras), wherein they dedicated a few days to move out of the study curriculum to interface and embrace the latest technological thoughts & practices from across the globe. They call global subject matter experts to talk, give presentations, interact with students and faculties, bring their knowledge and practical case studies to the table, they also organize workshops, competitions, exhibitions, apart from cultural program and entertainment. The festival is organized on global standards and has earned an ISO 9001:2015 certification too.

Within the Shaastra 2025 festival, there was yet another chapter of Future Cities Summit (FCS) this year, which shows the commitment of the festival towards embracing the hi-tech future and the technological advancements of tomorrow. FCS had been planned to explore and examine multidimensional approach towards the urban world of future, which will have all elements of energy, economy, transport & mobility, innovation & technologies like AI, AR, VR, ML, IoT, IT & ITES etc. apart form the livability and sustainability.

This year’s focus included subjects like Technology, AI and Data Integration, Legal and Ethical Frameworks for Smart Cities, Future of Urban Transportation, Cultural Preservation and Urban Development, Resilient Infrastructure and Climate Adaptation, and Renewable Energy Integration in Urban Environments.

Vaidic Srijan got an invite to speak in under the Resilient Infrastructure and Climate Adaptation domain, with our evidence-based case studies and success stories and the topic given to us was “Healthy Natural Resources for Sustainable Cities”. The 30 minutes presentation followed by Q&A session was conducted by Madhukar Swayambhu, Cofounder & research head of Vaidic Srijan LLP, and the case study of Moradabad Amrit Sarovars, was discussed in detail on how restoring the health of the natural Waterbodies in the Brass Capital of the country transformed the overall health, happiness and prosperity index of the city. How the urban flooding has been eradicated, Ground Water recharge has started happening, the Air Quality index has been transformed from worst in the state to healthy breathable Air, biodiversity conservation has happened, post-monsoon vector borne diseases outbreak has been mitigated and many awards and accolades have been earned by the city.

Bottom line discussed and described during the session was, the conventional approach of “cleaning” the Waterbodies is no solution, but simply postponement of the problem. A holistic and sustainable approach is the “restore the health” of the Waterbodies, since they are the ‘ecosystem service providers’ to their respective vicinities, not a mere reservoir or pool of Water. Another interesting aspect was to transform the Waterbody rejuvenation projects from “expense” to “revenue” through enabling them to earn the environmental credits (Water, Carbon, Sanitation, Emission and Biodiversity), which are tradeable commodities in the global markets.

The discussion was followed by a very rich and interactive Q&A session too.

The summit was graced by the presence of other eminent speaker from across the globe including Mr. Kok Chin Tay, the Chairman of the Smart Cities Network (a network of innovative solution and services providers for smart cities) and the Executive Director (ASEAN) for Smart Cities Council, Ms. Suchismita Goswami, is a PhD fellow from the Global Health Section at the Department of Public Health, University of Copenhagen, Dr. Chinmay Hedge is the CEO and Co-Founder of Astrikos AI, an organization that delivers Actionable (Smart) IoT-driven Real-time Insights for Smart Cities, Mr. Ian Chew is the sole Founder of Greenie Web – an award winning Singapore ClimateTech startup that creates low-carbon computer code, Ms. Aswathy Dilip is the South Asia Director of Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP), Prof. Subir Sachdev, Herchel Smith Professor of Physics.

HACKERS AND SPEAKING

No company, however successful, ever looks more than a pretty good bet a few months. Either way it sucks. We ask mainly out of politeness. If you think someone judging you will work hard to judge you correctly, there's usually some feeling they shouldn't have to express every program as the definition of new types. If investors can no longer rely on their herd instincts, they'll have to get a foot in the door. -Oriented programming generates a lot of new work is preferable to a proof that was difficult, but doesn't lead to future discoveries; in the sciences generally, citation is considered a rough indicator of merit. If startups are mobile, the best local talent will go to the real Silicon Valley, and all they'll get at the local one will be the people who get PhDs in CS don't go into research. They're the ones in a position of power. I'm still not sure whether he thought AI was nonsense and that majoring in something rigorous would cure me of such stupid ambitions. I have never had to talk. When you change the angle of someone's eye five degrees, no one will pay for. Umair Haque wrote recently that the reason there aren't more Googles is that most startups get bought before they can change the world, people don't start things till they're sure what they want, regardless of how many are started.

Startups will go to work anyway and sit in front of them, so the odds of getting this great deal are 1 in 300. On the other hand, startup investing is a very strange business. Even if your only goal is to get every distraction out of the closet and admit, at least by comparison, be called turmoil. Just two or three lifetimes ago, most people in what are now called industrialized countries lived by farming. But software companies don't hire students for the summer as a source of cheap labor. But if you're starting a startup. I worried? I said what they need to get good grades to get into elite colleges, and college students think they need to get good grades to impress future employers, students will try to undermine the VCs by acting faster, and the VCs will gradually figure out ways to make money from. How casual successful startup founders are.

I write software: I sit down and blow out a lame version 1 as fast as angels and super-angels themselves. We think of the techniques we're developing for dealing with detail. I know of schlep blindness is Stripe, or rather Stripe's idea. You're better off avoiding these. If so, your old tastes were not merely different, but worse. Why is it that research can be done by collaborators. I'd guess the most successful startups we've funded haven't launched their products yet, but are definitely launched as companies. Fortran because not surprisingly in a language where you have to design what the user needs, who is the user? You may dispute either of the premises, but if you get funded by Y Combinator. But it seems more dangerous to put stuff in that you've never needed because it's thought to be a promising experiment that's worth funding to see how it turns out.1 But the startup world for so long that it seems promising enough to worry that you might not be the best solution. In Kate's world, everything is still physical and expensive.

Only a few companies have been smart enough to realize this so far. It's not super hard to get into grad school or just be good at math to write Mathematica. Google is afflicted with this, apparently. It has always seemed to me the solution is to tackle the problem head-on, and that people should work for another company for a few years down the line. With so much at stake, they have to be big, and it frees conscious thought for the hard problems. Why do you think so? Whereas when they don't like you, they'll be out of business, lies in something very old-fashioned: face to face for three months—so closely in fact that we insist they move to where we are. A lot of them. They believe this because it really feels that way to them.2

That solves the problem if you get a real job after you graduate. Because depending on the meaning of the word 'is' is. As usual, by Demo Day about half the founders from that first summer, less than two years ago, are now rich, at least in the short term. It was a lot of institutionalized delays in startup funding: the multi-week mating dance with investors; the distinction between termsheets and deals; the fact that you're mainly interested in hacking shouldn't deter you from going to grad school, because very few people are quite at home in computer science, and it will seem to investors no more than superficial changes. It's not just because they were pulled into it by unscrupulous investment bankers. You're rolling the dice again, whether you want them as a cofounder. In the mid twentieth century there was a great deal of play in these numbers. When you're forced to be simple, you're forced to be simple, you're forced to face the real problem. They treat the words printed in the book the same way you'd deal with a cold swimming pool: just jump in. So when you find an idea you know is good but most people disagree with, you should get a job. Nowadays a lot of de facto control after a series A round needs to be a good time for startups to have traction before they put in significant money.

One of our goals with Y Combinator was to discover the lower bound on the age of startup founders.3 If taste is just personal preference is a good deal of fighting in being the public face of an organization. The biggest factor determining how a VC will feel about your startup is how other VCs feel about it. Your tastes will change. So unless their founders could pull off an IPO which would be difficult with Yahoo as a competitor, they had become extremely formidable. The mobility of seed-stage startups means that seed funding is a national business.4 The puffed-up companies that went public during the Bubble didn't do it just because they want you to be a really good deal.

Do you, er, want a printout of yesterday's news? I know many people who switched from math to painting. This essay is derived from talks at the 2007 Startup School and the Berkeley CSUA. As well as mattering less whether students get degrees, it will turn out worse. Some magazines may thrive by focusing on the magazine as a physical object. As long as it isn't floppy, consumers still perceive it as a period that would have been for two Google employees to focus on the wrong things for six months, and the super-angels were initially angels of the classic type. Should you take it? Maybe, though the list of acquirers is a lot less than most university departments like to admit. VCs do now. It's too late now to be Stripe, but there's usually some feeling they shouldn't have to—that their startup will be huge—and convincing anyone of something like that must obviously entail some wild feat of salesmanship. The other reason parents may be mistaken is that, like generals, they're always fighting the last war.

5% an offer of 6. How has your taste changed? I don't consider myself to be doing research on programming languages. So if you want to work for, they may start to focus on working with other students they want as cofounders. Even though Y Combinator is teach hackers about the inevitability of schleps. And that statistic is probably not an option for most magazines. The seriousness of signalling risk depends on how far along you are with other investors seems the complementary countermove. Over in the arts. I don't know yet what the new rules will be, but it has to be better if both were combined in one group, headed by someone with a PhD in computer science, and it has to double: if you can imagine someone surpassing you, you can predict fairly accurately what the next few years will be like, but I'm not too worried about it.

Notes

That's because the arrival of desktop publishing, given people the first year or two, because they need them to private schools that in Silicon Valley, but suburbs are so different from a startup is compress a lifetime's worth of work into a fancy restaurant in San Francisco. We could be done, she expresses it by smiling more. It would have been the first question is only half a religious one; there is one that did.

The ordering system, which is probably part of a heuristic for detecting whether you realize it yet or not, and this is also a second factor: startup founders is how much they lied to them. Give the founders are driven only by money—for example, being offered large bribes by the financial controls of World War II was in logic and zoology, both your lawyers should be taken into account, they mean. It may be whether what you build for them.

We invest small amounts of new inventions until they become so embedded that they don't make users register to try to write it all yourself. It's lame that VCs play such games, but more often than not what it would be possible to have balked at this, but he got killed in the US treat the poor worse than Japanese car companies, but have no idea what's happening as merely not-too-demanding environment, and this trick merely forces you to agree. You're not seeing fragmentation unless you see them much in their target market the shoplifters are also the 11% most susceptible to charisma. If an investor makes you a clean offer with no valuation cap is merely boring, we found they used it to the biggest winners, which was acquired for 50 million, and don't want to work like they worked together mostly at night.

Except text editors and compilers. Users dislike their new operating system.

Thanks to Dan Giffin, Jessica Livingston, Hutch Fishman, Sam Altman, Robert Morris, and Ron Conway for sparking my interest in this topic.

Three-way collaborative Education Program and Assessment September 2019

Executive summary:

The Master of Arts in Education and Law Enforcement (MAELE) program was a collaborative enterprise between the AUAF, Ministry of Interior, and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). The program was launched in October 2016 and it ended in August 2019. Students completed 36 credit hours in the core courses, 6 credit hours in writing the thesis, and noncredit ESL classes throughout the program as well as noncredit computer classes for one semester. The program’s mission, goals and objectives were to enhance the knowledge, skills, and dispositions of the Kabul Police Academy and Staff College instructors, who will in turn train qualified cadre of law enforcement personnel for Afghanistan. Specifically, the program was designed to introduce participants to contemporary law enforcement know-how, modern pedagogy, working knowledge of the English language, computer skills, civilianization of the police force, a globalized world, critical thinking, leadership skills, and professionalism.

The program was guided by the principles of: a safe and secure environment, student-centeredness, collaborative and blended instruction, pluralism, inclusivity, diversity, academic freedom, ethicality and service. The curriculum consisted of six education courses, six law-related courses, ESL courses, computer literacy and a comprehensive thesis. Program participants took a full semester of introduction to graduate studies in the fall of 2016, and then embarked on the main course of studies in January 2017. The 12 core courses were taught by outstanding national and international academics with PhDs. Needless to say that the entire program was conducted in Dari and Pasto and it was infused with the AUAF’s philosophy of a liberal arts education.

Except for the Introduction to Graduate Studies, which was conducted at the Police Academy, all classes were held on the AUAF campus. Students had full access to all the university’s resources and facilities such as the library, computer labs, cafeteria, etc. Classes were held from 1-5 PM six days a week. Students were provided free laptops, textbooks, lunch and snacks as well as a transportation allowance.

Seventy participants were introduced by the MoI and AUAF selected 40 to undergo preparatory training for fifteen weeks; at the end of this academic boot camp , 25 of the 40 students were admitted to the degree program. Although a handful of the program participants required academic counseling and assistance, all 25 completed the program successfully in August 2019. It should be pointed out that A.H.Waziri, director of PDI, Dr.Timor Saffary, previous provost, and Paul Revere, of the provost office played major roles in the early phases of the program.

Course descriptions:

The following twelve courses (36 credits) ranged from broad discussion of education and law to more focused deliberations of topics in the two areas of study. Following is a list of the 12 required courses along with their brief description and amount of credit allocation.

· EDU 501, Foundations of Education (3 credits): This course deals with the social, historical, political, economic and cultural aspects of Education/schooling in general, with particular focus on Afghanistan. It will contextualize both the formal and informal educational systems in the country over the last 100 years. The course will explore the dominant Western and Eastern philosophies of education shaping the school system in this country. It will address the close interrelationship between pedagogy and educational theories and philosophies. It will examine the reciprocal relation between education and society; and it will provide background in educational financing, governance, goals and outcomes. The course examines education in a diverse and conflicted society.

· EDU 520, Curriculum Design and Development (3 credits): This course deals with curriculum at all levels of education. It examines the formal and hidden curriculum, and curriculum as social-economic – political and cultural construction. The course studies the new theories, controversies, and trends such as the Core curriculum, integrated curriculum, liberal arts-based curriculum, globalization and the curriculum, peace and conflict resolution curriculum, and environmental studies. The course strives to forge a well-balanced, integrated, coherent, realistic and responsive curriculum for the education system in Afghanistan.

· EDU 525, Supervision, Administration and Leadership in Education (3 credits): This course addresses three distinct but interrelated concepts of school administration, classroom and teacher supervision, and educational leadership.

Qualitative/Descriptive Comments by the Students: Following are some of the comments students provided regarding the 28 questions in addition to specific answers they had to choose for each question.

· The integrity and transparency in your admissions procedure is unique and exceptional, but there were some difficulties.

· A student said he met all the admission requirements successfully. If it weren’t for Dr. Zaher Wahab’s presence during the admission, my acceptance to the program would be impossible since I didn’t have any connections to anyone. Wahab’s presence ensured social justice.

· In selecting course materials, the needs of students and society should be taken into account. The prep semester enabled me to start the main program without difficulty. The prep semester was very effective. The prep semester was great; thanks to the director of the program.

· Introduction to Bloom’s taxonomy and critical thinking was good. The education courses in the program enabled us to think deeper thus making us better instructors and teachers.

· Curriculum development, education for citizenship, research methods and foundations of education were the best courses, while educational supervision, administration and leadership and sociocultural anthropology were not so good among the education courses.

· The best of the six law courses were Afghanistan’s penal code, overview of laws in Afghanistan, law and the disenfranchised, criminology, and organized crime; while law and the legal system in Afghanistan needs improvement.

· The reading materials were very useful. Sometimes, the readings were not copied on time.

· The ESLC courses ranged from good to excellent. Most students lacked any knowledge of English, and at times, the readings were over their heads. If the ESL courses had been well-integrated, students would have learned English well. Also, the students should have been divided into different ability groups at the start.

· Not enough time was allocated to the computer literacy course. Special thanks to Instructor Hamza. The computer program should have been given an hour per week every semester, so we could continue to practice the skills we had learned. The class was effective, though.

· More practicable research projects would have helped us learn the concepts and techniques better; the kind of homework Dr. Wahab used to give us. Many thanks to Ms. Amin, the research course instructor for her guidance. But we were not taught the SPSS.

· Unfortunately, there has been insufficient coordination among all the thesis advisors about a uniform way of writing the thesis. An advisor just told students what was wrong and didn’t provide guidance for correcting the theses. It was difficult to have appointments with some advisors.

· Law courses should focus on the penal code, criminology, civic education, and organized crime. The research course should be re-configured. There should be a course on statistics. There should be better law professors. The law and the disenfranchised course should be dropped because the issues are dealt with in other courses. Add courses on international law and the extradition of criminal, sociology, Islamic penal code, psychology, world history and comparative politics.

· Dr. Wahab, Dr. J. Ahmadi and Dr. A. H. Hashimee were the best instructors in the program.

· Strict security measures created a secure environment for the students’ studies.

· At times, Dr. Wahab behaved autocratically, which was due to the prevailing circumstances.

· Sometimes the food wasn’t good. Since the food ingredients were frozen, it affected the meals negatively.

· Many thanks to Dr. Wahab and his fair and nondiscriminatory leadership. Thanks a lot for his egalitarian and effective leadership. I hope Dr. Wahab will continue to lead the program. Dr. Wahab’s leadership should be rewarded. His management style was very good. There was great order and discipline and there was no discrimination, favoritism or anything negative.

· My values, attitudes, and worldview today are vastly different from before the program. It has had a profound impact on me. Ethics, critical thinking, and civic education were the most important learnings for me.

· Sometimes we didn’t receive timely assistance. Food wasn’t as good. There was weak WiFi accessories in the classroom. Not enough books for law courses in the library. More time should be given for ESL courses and the education courses should be reconsidered. The program should be either in education or in law. Admission should be based on exam and interview. Readings and teaching methods need improvement. Visits to other universities should be included. Add modern history and Islamic culture to the curriculum.

· Most things in the program were positive. Good things in the program were program leadership and administration, security measures, effective and efficient use of time, valuing time, cordial relations at AUAF, professors’ conduct, seriousness of the program, participants’ selection and grading based on merit, understanding and kind leadership, library and internet, honesty, transparency and accountability, meritocracy, exceptional leadership, AUAF’s willingness to help; the curriculum, instructors, and leadership; student-centered instruction etc. were great.

· The MoI was not really as interested in this program.

· Thanks to UNDP for funding this program, but it took no active interest in the daily operations of the program.

· I never thought I would have a chance to participate in such a program. With God’s help and UNDP funding I completed the program successfully, and it has improved my social and professional standing at the MoI. I should thank all my instructors and special thanks to Dr. Wahab who led the program intelligently and fairly.

Thesis projects:

Students undertook comprehensive thesis projects as part of the program requirements. Prior to their research, students took one research and one thesis preparation course that helped improve their research and writing skills. With suggestions and guidance from the program director, students embarked on selecting their thesis topics and conducting research guided by thesis advisors and reviewers. It was a six month process covering topic selection and approval, research methodology, resource identification, and review and guidance by advisors. All students managed to defend their theses on August 7, 2019. Theses were all written in Dari, averaged about 85 pages and read by committees of three advisers.

The following is the list of students’ thesis titles.

1. Study of the Consequences of Globalization for the Third World

Conclusion:

The MAELE program has been an academic marathon starting in October 2016 and ending in August, 2019. Though there were many challenges, at the end, we pretty much accomplished our collective goals and objectives. For one, there was no precedence on which to build and so we had to invent, create, and improvise everything. Instituting a merit system in a culture of nepotism, networking and subjectivities was a constant challenge. Reliance on a contingent faculty (of about 30) was both a problem and an opportunity. Designing the program, deciding on an appropriate curriculum, choosing the right faculty, dealing with adjuncts where everyone moonlights, the reluctant cooperation by some of the stakeholders, lack of cooperation by/from the Ministry of Higher Education, protecting and implementing the standard academic calendar in an unpredictable environment of disruptions and interruptions, underpreparation of a handful of program participants, working against an end-time, procurement issues, and having a normal academic program in a highly abnormal war zone were some of the main challenges to confront.

However, like participation in any marathon, there are antecedents, factors and dynamics which can produce a positive outcome. The program director/professor’s experiences working in the US higher education, at the MOHE, with the University of Massachusetts Higher Education Project at Kabul Education University, the Master of Public Policy and Administration at Kabul University and the Master of Arts in Education (2014-15)at AUAF proved very helpful. Program conceptualization, design, implementation and operation were informed by the director’s experiences with the aforementioned programs. My 17 years of work in higher education in Kabul provided me with a wide network of academics to draw from. The cooperation, support, and latitude given the program by the AUAF was invaluable through and through. The relatively smooth working relations with the UNDP, MOI and the Kabul Police Academy were very helpful. The maturity, commitment and diligence of the 25 participants (the marathon runners) was a major factor in its success. Last, but not least, without the excellent work by Mr. Nematullah Noor, the program assistant, I do not know how the program could have been managed as well as it was.

It goes without saying that all those involved in this enterprise, learned important lessons, and should this or similar program continue here at AUAF, the cumulative learnings would contribute greatly to an even better program.

Given all the limitations facing a brand new program, the prevailing war, conflict and violence, strict security measures, and unpredictable disruptions, the program was very successful. The information and data presented in these pages speak for themselves. What is most striking and gratifying, is how much the program participants appreciated the overall integrity of the program, the high standards of performance and conduct, AUAF’s commitment to and support for the program, and the overall program impact on the intellectual-personal-professional development and growth of students even as adult learners. Program participants made it abundantly clear what a transformative experience this was for them.

Recommendations:

Overall, the program was a great success for the AUAF, MoI and UNDP, and of course, for the students. For further improvement, the writers of this report offer a few recommendations to all stakeholders of the program.

· We strongly recommend and request that the program be continued.

· There should be two tracks in the program, one for police trainers and one for other MoI employees.

· We recommend that there should be an age limit of 35 for all enrollees.

· More women should be encouraged to apply for the program; perhaps an affirmative action for women.

· Efforts should be made to enroll candidates from the provinces, not just from Kabul. The admission process should cast a wider net so as to identify and admit better qualified people. Candidates’ college records and other credentials should be scrutinized more carefully.

· The MoI must commit itself to believing in and supporting the program in every way. Program participants should have reduced teaching and/or working loads. They should have no nightly or weekend duties. Candidates should be relieved of all duties at mid-day so they can pursue their studies.

· MoI, UNDP and others should leave academic matters to AUAF and should not interfere with academics in any way. Also, UNDP and MoI should appoint someone as the contact person for this project.

· The Introduction to Graduate Studies program should be extended to 20 weeks of intensive studies in ESL, computer literacy and higher level reading, writing, thinking, and theorizing.

· The program curriculum should be revisited and modified if necessary.

· All program instructors must undergo a full week of orientation and hiring must be done carefully.

· The program needs more library resources in Dari and Pashto.

Educational Problem Solving

By Adolf Agbormbai

Abstract

This article introduces the educational solutions module of the world's most recent personal and professional problem solving site, describing competitive offerings, the customer profile, problem-oriented solutions, target markets, product offerings, and usability features. It concludes that the module is a major contribution to the information superhighway.

Introduction

The aim of this article is to introduce to the world the educational solutions module of the world's most recent personal and professional problem solving site. The article is addressed to those readers who may have an educational problem bogging them and who may therefore be looking for a way out of their predicament. The reader may be a parent, child, or student.

It is a common fact of life that we all have problems and that we are often frustrated or we tend to lash out because of our inability to find accessible and reliable information about our problems. This specialist site fills this need - as our pragmatic friend for solving our educational problems.

To be of the greatest use to people a problem solving site must combine pragmatic discussions of their personal or professional problem with merchant products that provide more detailed information. Typically, the web site will provide free information in the form of news, articles, and advice, which direct the visitor on what to do to solve her problems. Complementing this, the web site will also provide merchant products which discuss in detail how the visitor can go about resolving her problem. This means that the most effective, visitor-oriented problem-solving site will be an information-packed commercial site - and so is the world's most recent personal and professional problem solving site and its specialist sites.

The approach that we have adopted below is to describe competitive offerings, the customer profile, problem-oriented solutions, target markets, product offerings, and usability features.

Competitive Offerings

The following are the top educational sites on the Internet, along with their offerings.

US Department of Education. It defines the US education policy and provides information on financial aid, educational research and statistics, grants and contracts, and teaching and learning resources.

Educational Testing Service. It provides a range of test resources.

FunBrain.com. It provides educational games for K-8 kids.

PrimaryGames.com. It provides fun learning tools and games for kids.

GEM. It provides educational resources such as lesson plans and other teaching and learning resources.

Education World. It provides advice on lesson plans, professional development, and technology integration.

NASA Education Enterprise. It provides educational materials and information relating to space exploration.

Spartacus Educational. It is a British online encyclopedia that focuses on historical topics.

Department for Education and Skills. It is a UK government department site that offers information and advice on various educational and skills topics.

Times Educational Supplement. It offers teaching news, teaching & educational resources, and active forums to help UK teachers. All these sites are useful in the domains that they cover. Their main limitations are as follows:

1. They tend to cover only a very narrow segment of the educational market. 2. They do not take as their starting point the daily educational needs of the typical family. 3. They lack a problem focus; i.e., they do not formulate the typical learning and educational problems that pupils, students, and parents face on a daily basis. Go To Main page 4. As a result of the preceding point, the solutions offered are not as incisive (i.e. as problem-centred) as they could be. 5. They do not offer merchant products that deepen the visitor's understanding of her problem and of the consequent solutions.

The educational solutions module of the world's most recent personal and professional problem solving site addresses these problems by targeting a multiplicity of market segments, adopting a customer profile that fits the typical education-pursuing family, considering the specific needs or problems that this family may face, offering incisive (problem-centred) solutions to the various problems, and offering a range of merchant products that deepen the visitor's appreciation of her problems and of the solutions that are applicable to them.

Customer Profile

The customer profile or target visitor characteristics of the educational solutions module is the same as for all specialist sites of the world's most recent personal and professional problem solving site. The site has been designed to meet the needs of visitors who have an educational problem bogging them. It is designed for both males and females, even though it is often convenient to refer to just one sex when writing.

This visitor uses search engines to research information about her personal or professional problem, with the intention of finding solutions to it. The visitor is serious about solving her problem and is therefore willing to buy products that help her to achieve her mission, provided that she can find reliable and honest information about relevant products so that she can make an informed decision about which ones to acquire. This information will help her to apply her finances economically, and hence avoid wasting money.

The visitor will want a money-back guarantee so that if a product does not live up to expectations or if she were misled into buying a product she can get a refund. Such a guarantee absolves her of purchase risks.

The visitor is intelligent (without necessarily being a genius), educated (without necessarily being a PhD), computer literate (without necessarily being a computer guru), and money-minded (without necessarily being a freebie hunter or an unemployed person). This of course does not mean that freebie hunters or unemployed persons cannot gain a thing from the site. To the contrary, there is a great deal of free information on the site. Just that it is hard to see how anyone can gain the full benefits of the site without buying products.

The visitor wants high quality information products (usually in digital form) and wants to pay the cheapest price for these (without paying so much emphasis on price that she compromises quality). The visitor also wants free bonus offers that are attached to the purchased goods.

The visitor is self-reliant and can cope on her own by reading, digesting, and applying advice about her problem until she solves it or discovers that she needs help from a professional, at which point her acquired knowledge will help her to reduce her consulting fees. As a result of the knowledge gained, the visitor will be able to assess consultants in order to avoid incompetent or fraudulent ones.

Problem-Centred Solutions

Our free solutions are organised in the form of pragmatic articles that are written by top experts. Each article addresses a specific daily problem, but does not go into detail. It explains the problem and tells the visitor what she must do to solve her problem. However, it does not tell the visitor how she must solve it - this is too much for an article. To find out about the how, the visitor must buy a product (usually an e-book or e-book set) that goes into greater depth.

The set of educational articles that we have chosen, to provide initial solution to a visitor's problem are as follows:

Signs of a Gifted Child - Informs parents on how to identify whether or not their children are gifted.

Usability Considerations

Usability has been enhanced to make it easy for the visitor to find solutions to her problem, by following these steps:

1. The first thing the visitor sees are a set of articles whose titles represent the specific problem area they address. The articles are accessed from the Educational Problem Solving menu of the navigation bar to the left of the screen or from the Educational Problem Solving main page. By scanning these articles the visitor can identify whether or not her problem is covered. If not the visitor can check the educational product catalogue through the Product Catalogues menu of the same navigation bar, to see whether a product exists that answers her query. If she finds nothing she knows that her problem is not addressed. She can proceed to the Related Sites pages, which are accessible from the left navigation bar.

2. If the visitor finds an article that addresses her problem then she can begin to explore that; at the end of the article she will find products that discuss her problem more deeply. She can also access the educational product catalogue through an article page.

Good morning[Vietnam]! Let's discuss the future that is already here, this morning. I've been working on this ARTICLE for about half a day. I'm using my internet-connection to gather/verify information[all of which is available to you/anyone]. I'm NOT using a SmartPhone. Two reasons for this:1)too slow, & 2)my 'collected' information now 'lives' on my hard-drive. I have opened a new online account. https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/ryzen_threadripper This account allows me to post comments/replies, where them EE's is discussin' our 'futures' in BB-forums[some not recently active; only 9 participants have been active recently]. I can also start a new discussion/TOPIC, which is exactly what I have already done. BAIT for honey-bears, that is linked to my e-mail-account, so I will receive a notification, if any bears come sniffing around! YOU can do the same exact honey-baiting at any public forum; choose from hundreds of thousands w/BB's just like this one; WikiPedia is set up the same way; you can open an account there, and start suggesting 'edits' to ARTICLES there, and even write the first-ever ARTICLE, on any subject that they have no 4-1-1 on; >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation If you choose not to register, or you have a conflict of interest but have an idea for a new article with some references, you can create one here and it will be reviewed and considered for publication. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< become a self-proclaimed Professor[the State of Georgia gave me an honorary PhD, when I used one of their online registration 'editors']!; they even INVITE ordinary folks to do just that; if you request the 411 on something they've not heard about before[you can make-up anything at all, & use it as your search-parameter], you will get an INVITATION[but need an account first; they'll gladly guide you through the whole process], and can see what I'm talking about! Now, when I started the research for this ARTICLE, I needed some images for illustration-purposes; for that, I type my search-parameters into Google's search engine, and often without glancing at the return[Google moves all their paying-customers to the top of a very long list; unless you desire to purchase what you just typed-in, you are in deep-doo-doo at Google][I use Yahoo's ask.com, unless I'm shopping for images], I quickly left-click on "IMAGE" above, and up comes a long list of .jpg's; you can visually-scan images a lot faster than you can a list of 'blurbs' from pages you don't need anyway; each photo is 'sourced' from a page, that has a LINK to it; your eye tells you quickly which pages have what you are looking for; these photos are not 'ranked' like the text-returns, but are ranked for closeness to the search-parameters you have entered[a few minor changes to that text, and you quickly have exactly what you need! When examining the photos, of the key-players in the 7nm-lithography business, I kept on seeing two flags[side-by-side] displayed in the background; I grew curious about the frequency of the phenomenon, all over Taiwan/Taipei[two names/two flags]; I started my research on that aspect of the emerging STORY. You will see below, what turned-up.

Only three semiconductor foundries are currently working on a 7nm process: Intel, Samsung and TSMC. https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/7_nm_lithography_process

Welcome to the space/time 'present[2019],' where the G-5 network is coming to appliances near you! https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/microarchitectures/zen%2B Linux added initial support for Zen starting with Linux Kernel 4.10. https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/cores/pinnacle_ridge Pinnacle Ridge processors are a refresh of Summit Ridge, fabricated on an enhanced process in order to provide a modest frequency bump. Those processors are a complete system on a chip with both the northbridge and southbridge on-die. Pinnacle Ridge chips offer 16 PCIe lanes (generally for the GPU) along with four additional 4 PCIe lanes for SATA and four USB 3.0 links. Those processors use Socket AM4 and can be extended in functionality with the Socket AM4 chipset which provides support for additional resources (i.e., more PCIe lanes and USB ports).

Intel Corporation is an American semiconductor company. While most notably known for their development of microprocessors and x86, Intel also designs and manufactures other integrated circuits including flash memory, network interface controllers, GPUs, chipsets, motherboards, and computers. In addition to x86, Intel used to also design and manufacture ARM-based chips as well as embed ARC-based cores in their products. While they no longer sell such chips, they still use ARM processors in various products (e.g. in their FPGAs) as well as still retain full a architectural level ARM license allowing them to design and sell their own ARM devices should they wish to.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. is a South Korean multinational electronics conglomerate owned by Samsung Group and accounting for roughly 75% of the group's revenue. Samsung is a major manufacturer of electronic products such as microprocessors, flash memory, and many other integrated circuits. Samsung is also the world's largest manufacturer of mobile phones, tablets, and televisions. On May, 2013 Samsung sold off its S3 families of 4-bit and 8-bit microcontrollers to Ixys, parent of Zilog for $50M.

TSMC http://www.tsmc.com

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is the world's largest pure-play semiconductor foundry.

image from Emirates' aircraft[windows for passengers] The email that Emirates’ Uniform Standards and Development Manager sent out to employees read as follows:

We have been instructed by the Chinese Government that with immediate effect, Emirates airline cabin crew are to follow the One China policy. This means you must remove the Taiwanese flag from your service waistcoat and replace it with the Chinese flag. This must be followed by all Taiwanese crew without exception. Additional stock of Chinese flags have been ordered and expected to arrive in the coming weeks. You will receive an email when they arrive. In the meantime carry the attached letter to show your seniors why you are not wearing a flag.

Then Emirates sent a follow-up email to crew members, “after reviewing [their] responses,” acknowledging that the request was “incorrect and inappropriate.” Here’s what that email said:

After reviewing your responses to the email below the original request for you to wear a Chinese flag was incorrect and inappropriate. Please refrain from wearing your Taiwanese flags on flights until further notice. Therefore no flag is required on your uniform. I do apologize for any upset that I may have caused.

panda says: May 31, 2017 at 10:07 am

@doublejade Emirates clearly stated China was behind their actions in the emails. Instead of hurling insults you should learn how to read.

The request by Emirates would be like Russia asking a US president to wear their flag… oh wait bad example 🙂

AdamR says: May 31, 2017 at 11:20 am

What bugs me most about this is it comes across that EK is flat out lying about the memo/email. At no point do any of the emails paint the situation with a broad, multi-national brush. It VERY specifically states just the countries of Taiwan and China. If this was really a uniform update, then no countries would be singled-out.

So now they’ve essentially looked like assholes for making the lame requirement in the first place. Then they looked like assholes that don’t know how to properly communicate with their employees and had to retract a previous statement. And now they look like lying assholes that STILL don’t know how to communicate at all, either with their employees or the public. The communications team needs some new leadership and/or expertise. Not to mention how poorly written the emails/memos are from a grammatical standpoint. Robert says: May 31, 2017 at 11:29 am

China is at fault for oppressing a country and EK is at fault for enabling that oppression. Lucky highlights the fact that EK doesn’t even own up to it (who would?). David says: May 31, 2017 at 11:36 am

Taiwan now at least is not a country acknowledged by most of the world’s government. Only part of the people in Taiwan hope to be independent. Cipta says: May 31, 2017 at 11:44 am

Well… a corporate exit has been laid. Sure, Taiwan flag is singled out due China’s pressure. Sure, there is pressure from China government to Emirates or maybe UAE. Sure, Emirates wouldn’t want to lose Chinese market.

So, is China is a bully? Is Taiwanese people/FA are victim here? Its funny to read people’s comments here. Sarcasm were thrown without knowledge of China-Taiwan politics and history. Very funny indeed…. Kevin says: May 31, 2017 at 12:13 pm

@doublejade, your ranting sounds pretty clueless. EK’s Standards and Development Manager’s internal email clearly mentioned “We have been instructed by the Chinese Government that with immediate effect”. If the instruction from Chinese government were not true, EK should have clarified it. But instead, EK used a lousy excuse saying ” This email was sent in error and has since been retracted. The intent is to recall the flag pins worn by all our cabin crew was part of our uniform update.”.

How could such intent result in the original email? And how on earth this excuse proved the instruction from Chinese government was untrue? If Chinese government didn’t interfere at all, how would the manager even mentioned that? The excuse at most simply implied the manager should not have sent out that email to stir the controversy.

Unless somehow you find out their manager was actually lying or his/her account was hacked to send a fake email, it’s very logical to assume Chinese government interference on EK’s business is real. Even if the manager sent out that email by accident, that does not change the fact revealed in the mail.

So to me, Lucky drew his judgement based on what presented there. How did it make him close minded? NOW I'M RESEARCHING MR. 'LUCKY' Without getting any deeper here, into History or Politics, I'll simply say that the 'flag-controversy' in Taiwan was not news to me; one of the two flags, in so many of those photos, looks an awful-lot-like one of PUTIN's flags! I'll leave it up to my readers to decide; is there cause for alarm here? *** https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2018/11/22/olympic-referendum-shall-it-be-taiwan-or-chinese-taipei/38584381/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Formosa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Taiwanese_flags#/media/File:Flag_of_the_Netherlands.svg - click here to see the 'suspect' 'Russian flag' https://www.most.gov.tw/folksonomy/list?menu_id=ab79b892-bd5b-4285-b544-9e6cc9602c83&l=en&view_mode=listView - MOST

Nokia and Inria extend research partnership to address future challenges facing networks and distributed computing

Nokia and Inria announced the renewal of their common research lab for the next four years. The new phase was launched at an event in Paris on 14 November in the presence of Thierry Klein, President, Nokia Bell Labs Solutions Research, and Bruno Sportisse, Inria CEO. Launched in 2008, the joint research lab brings together permanent scientists from the two partners with a newly created pool of PhD and post-doctoral scientists, with the strategic aim to solve the key scientific challenges linked to the evolution of networks and network applications. The focus of the joint research is on the benefits of network and distributed resources for contextual and personalized experiences in the digital connected world. Future networks will have to connect digital, physical and human worlds to unleash the innate potential of human beings in the metaverse era. Networks will need to have the ability to optimize for a very wide range of customer-specific needs, for example, in industrial applications. The network will develop heightened sensing capabilities, and increased context-awareness in terms of user status and intent, dynamically and automatically adapting connectivity to meet user needs. The networks will be 100% cloud-native, supporting a distributed architecture. Efficiency, resilience, and agility are critical attributes, with zero-touch management and orchestration achieved though artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) -driven autonomy. Devices may not be able to meet all compute needs and will rely on a combination of edge cloud and local near-device computing, resulting in a massively distributed computing architecture. Diversified applications and services will need stringent quality of service requirements, enabled by data/AI-native networks in a highly distributed computing and data environment. The Nokia Bell Labs-Inria collaboration will contribute to solving these challenges by addressing three aspects: - Distributed learning over 6G: with the aim of enabling diverse AI applications operating in a distributed and cooperative way all over the system (core, network, edge, device), continuously learning and evolving. - AI-based smart network management: with the aim of providing analytics and trustworthy AI/ML for 5G-Advanced and 6G zero touch mobile network resource management. - Network aware industrial applications: with the aim of optimizing and adapting industrial applications, such as cloud based robotic applications based on network performance and availability. Thierry Klein, President of Nokia Bell Labs Solutions Research, said, "Inria and Nokia Bell Labs have enjoyed a rich and fruitful relationship for more than 20 years. Inria is part of the Bell Labs Distinguished Academic Partners program, engaging the best and brightest minds from the world's top universities and academic organizations to collaborate with us on transforming human existence. This new phase of our collaboration addresses the strategic challenges of the future digital connected world infrastructure and applications, and we are excited about the collaborative advantages of this continued partnership for Nokia, our industry, and society to enable enhanced experiences in a digitalized world.” Bruno Sportisse, CEO of Inria, said, "Nokia Bell Labs is one of our major strategic partners and I am pleased that we are strengthening our partnership. For Inria, working with a world leader with a European footprint such as Nokia is one of our priorities, whether to position ourselves on major scientific topics, to maintain joint scientific and technological excellence, or to have an impact on the scale of our work. The gradual evolution of our partnership also shows the importance of building long-term relationships based on trust, within a joint strategy and roadmap. Together with Nokia, we will work on the new frontiers for 6G mobile networks, which pose new technological and theoretical challenges, where software design and data exchange must be jointly addressed.

RCA New Battersea Campus, Royal College of Art London

Royal College of Art Battersea New Campus, RCA London Building News, Design Image

RCA New Battersea Campus, Royal College of Art London

23 + 20 + 7 Sep 2021

The Landmark Building For The Royal College Of Art

Design: Herzog & De Meuron Architects

Address: Riverside, 1 Hester Rd, London SW11 4AN, England, UK

Royal College of Art – new Battersea campus

Thursday 23 September 2021 – The Royal College of Art, the world’s leading university of art and design, will launch its new campus in Battersea, London, on 11 January 2022. The state-of-the-art building, designed by internationally renowned Swiss architects, Herzog & de Meuron, will provide a new home for innovation and design, embodying the RCA’s academic vision to interweave art and design with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths).

The new Battersea campus is the largest development in the College’s 184-year history, enabling it to expand the frontiers of knowledge in art and design through innovative research, teaching and knowledge exchange. The RCA’s internationally recognised specialism in art and design has influenced generations and shaped our current world, encompassing both large-scale industry and common place objects, from the cars we drive and the buildings in which we live and work, to the clothes we wear and the art that lifts us out of the mundane. Its mission to imagine the future can now be fully realised with outstanding new facilities, incorporating cutting-edge technologies across the disciplines of computer and materials science, robotics, advanced manufacturing and intelligent mobility.

With a focus on ‘action’ research, students will be empowered to foster new design approaches to real-world problems and create innovations that lead to demonstrable impacts on a global scale to improve and change lives. Areas of application will include safer and better health services, designs for a more inclusive society, new products for the global longevity economy, and advances in design for mobility through emerging technologies. Alongside this research focus, the College’s centre for entrepreneurship, InnovationRCA, will spearhead the commercialisation of new human-centred design products and sustainability initiatives within industry. The new campus will ensure the College continues to play a vital role in driving innovation in the UK and beyond by providing answers to the challenges of rapid urbanisation, the effects of climate change, an ageing population, and the need for ethical responsibility within all creative practices.

Located to the south of the existing RCA buildings in Battersea, the 15,500 square-metre landmark new building will act as a radical spatial catalyst, embracing a greater cross-disciplinary dialogue between vehicle designers and architects, animators and ceramicists, fashion designers and textile students, sculptors and jewellery designers, performance artists and filmmakers within new make-spaces to push the boundaries in developing ground-breaking research.

Comprising two connected building blocks, the first four-storey Studio Building will focus on postgraduate teaching, making and learning with enhanced studios and workshops for Sculpture and Contemporary Art Practice, Design Products and Robotics. Designed as social and educational spaces of creative transfer and collaboration, the studios will also accommodate temporary exhibitions and large-scale works. The Design Studios will consist of the Design Product Studios, Innovation Design Studios, an Engineering Studio, the Immersion Lab, the Materials Nature Lab, the Manufacturing Lab and the Computer Science Lab, while the Moving Image Studio will be a highly specified, flexible working space allowing film and video production activities to be performed at the most advanced technical level, facilitating students to produce industry standard work.

A dramatic double-height covered street Hangar lies at the heart of the building, providing a multifunctional activity space for large-scale automotive and sculptural objects to be assembled and exhibited. The Hangar will become the focal point for RCA artists and makers, and their interactions with the public, including events, screenings, performances, exhibitions and graduate shows. The smaller Robotics Hangar and gallery space will provide flexible research testing and assembly areas for intelligent mobility, design engineering, sculpture, and aquatic and aerial robotics.

The Rausing Research and Innovation Building will comprise eight floors of dedicated independent research space, including new research centres for Materials Science, Textile Circularity, Design for Ageing and Computer Science, alongside InnovationRCA, the Clore Innovation Centre and the renowned Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design. Two of its floors will unite the Mobility Design Centre with the MA in Intelligent Mobility. New laboratories will include a lab for advanced modelling and manufacturing processes along with the Visualisation Lab, an immersive visual and acoustic virtual cocoon capable of modelling complex constructed environments and digitally capturing the real world, opening-up new ways of working with simulation, virtual reality and immersive technology. At the pinnacle of the building, commanding views across London, the Knowledge Exchange Centre will offer a suite of seminar and conference facilities for cross-disciplinary use by students, academics, researchers and industry partners, furthering the RCA’s close collaboration with the industry sector.

Sustainability and energy efficiency are central to the new development, certifying the continuation of the RCA’s global contribution as the number one university for art and design. Approximately £3 million will be invested in making the building BREEAM excellent, using a combination of integrated design and most significantly a commitment to low and zero carbon technologies.

Through Herzog & de Meuron’s architectural vision, the campus will increase the RCA’s overall footprint in Battersea to create a united the 26,000 square-metre campus, providing a new hub for innovation and design within the wider Battersea Creative Quarter.

Dr. Paul Thompson, Vice-Chancellor, Royal College of Art, said: “The opening of our new campus in Battersea, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to realise our academic ambition to become a STEAM university, combining innovative new technologies with the traditional disciplinary practices to provide exceptional experiences for designers, artists and storytellers who will go on to enhance the world.”

Jacques Herzog, Founding Partner, Herzog & de Meuron, said: “Our experience with designing many museums in the last 20 years tells me that art institutions increasingly tend to blur the traditional boundaries between the collection, presentation, preservation, and even the production of art. In addition, such institutions want to be great social spaces and focal points for public life. Our design for the new RCA and its programming at Battersea traces a path not so dissimilar to this new ideal. Students, teachers, and visitors will find themselves in a kind of village built around the topic of art, with an architectural atmosphere that encourages the entire community to engage in a constant process of teaching and learning, producing, presenting, and discussing art.”
