Extremely comfortable and spacious house. We were five including a toddler. The arrangement of bedrooms was terrific for privacy; the common rooms large and gracious. Very much enjoyed the easy walking to the beach and the neighborhood park. The house is nestled in the woods, the beach three minutes away. It's like two vacations in one. We would happily return.
We had a wonderful vacation with our family of 8 and the house was perfect! We had plenty of space and the bedroom with the extra twin bed was perfect for our son with 2 small children. We loved the location, and walked to the beach each evening for sunset. The kitchen was very well stocked so we cooked several meals and even baked cookie with the kids. We also enjoyed the porches, especially the front porch which overlooked the from yard.
The master bath was beautifully remodeled and had plenty of space and lots of extra towels. It also looked like the kitchen and guest bath were completely updated, too. Gorgeous and comfortable home with everything you need to have a wonderful stay at the beach! Thank you for sharing your home and making our vacation extra special.
Our family celebration was spread between three houses and this won the prize for location, space, cleanliness, and amenities. It was such a pleasant house with a separation of space so that people could be in different parts of the house and feel comfortable. The kitchen is outstanding and we had many family meals just standing and eating in the kitchen. I would definitely return to this space. Thanks for making us feel so welcome.
We had an amazing time at your rental home! Part of it was being able to get together with family, but the accommodations you provided were just what we were looking for! The home was beautifully decorated and the recent renovations were great! We enjoyed being within an easy walking distance to the beach and took advantage of that multiple times a day. The outdoor being heavily wooded almost made it feel like we were at a campground, but with upscale lodging (my kind of "camping"). Being able to bring our pets was a definite perk for us. They loved being able to go to the beach in the mornings and evenings too! We will definitely recommend your home to others and are already talking about renting it again in the future!
Our family had a great vacation this summer! This house was perfect for us - lovely home, comfortable sleeping accommodations, beautiful modern kitchen, and a very short walk to the beach! The owner was great to work with and even provided a nice welcome gift. We love the area and can't wait to return next summer!
This Michiana Shores vacation was our 11th summer family trip to the lake, but the first time at this house. We were very pleasantly surprised at how clean and updated the house was and how close it was to the lake. The kitchen is a state-of-art, the beds had soft mattresses, downstairs bathroom looks absolutely new.
Overall, this was the best house we have rented in Michiana so far. Will definitely try to rent it again.

Ezra Axelrod ’08 is a London-based recording artist and composer originally from La Grande, Oregon. In November 2008 he recorded his first EP The Enfield Sessions with former Jamie Cullum bassist Jules Jackson. He spent the following winter and spring playing concerts at venues like 93 Feet East and the Cobden Club. In April, 2009, he embarked on a development project with a studio in Soho, and released a single with them at the end of 2009. In July, 2009, Ezra recorded a follow-up to The Enfield Sessions, a three-song suite entitled Patria now available on MySpace. Ezra describes his compositions as “vernacular realist song”: vivid narratives on contemporary themes over raw musical orchestrations.
On January 8, 2011, Ezra launched his "American Motel" International Tour at Mead Chapel at Middlebury College. The tour will consist of four months of performances on three continents, to coincide with the release of his second studio album American Motel. The tour showcases Axelrod’s skill as an orchestrator, featuring arrangements of his first two albums for piano, voice, and string quintet. The show is an exploration of 21st-century life through realist lyrics, lush harmonies and dynamic moods. Axelrod calls his style of music “Vernacular Realist Song”: vivid narratives, gritty soulfulness, and the stylings of a cowboy turned classical pianist—what you might expect if Joan Didion, Tom Waits and James Dean formed a band, with guest appearances by Franz Schubert.
Watch some numbers from the January, 2011 show at Middlebury:

At Middlebury, Ezra studied composition with Peter Hamlin and Su Lian Tan, voice with Carol Christensen, and piano with Diana Fanning. www.myspace.com/ezraaxelrod


The four-seater Gran Lusso Coupe may be a sleek and beautiful one-off concept car, but it hints at the German automaker’s possibility of reviving the 8 Series nameplate. According to company sources, production of a model based on the Gran Lusso Coupe is under consideration.
As for the concept, it was built on a modified, rear-wheel drive 7 Series platform and powered by the 760i’s 6.0-liter V12 engine with 536 hp. But since the design was the main reason for the one off, there isn’t much to read into with the choice of powertrain from BMW. Regardless, the German automaker is mulling over a return to the high-end, luxury coupe market, especially with Mercedes-Benz introducing a new S-Class coupe and bringing in a new era of the CL-Class model.
The 8 Series was originally produced from 1989 to 1999, and though no final decision has been made about an actual production revival, chances are it’ll be heavily influenced by the Gran Lusso Coupe if it gets the green light.

Stephen Foley: When is a bribe not a bribe? Wal-Mart feels the heat down Mexico way
It would only take a tweak or two to legitimise corruption
Stephen Foley is a former Associate Business Editor of The Independent, based in New York. He left in August 2012. In a decade at the paper, he covered personal finance, the UK stock market and the pharmaceuticals industry, and had also been the Business section's share tipster. Between arriving with three suitcases in Manhattan in January 2006 and his departure, he witnessed and reported on a great economic boom turning spectacularly to bust. In March 2009, he was named Business and Finance Journalist of the Year at the British Press Awards.
Saturday 28 April 2012
US Outlook The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act here, ferocious though it is, was not designed to make it impossible for American companies to expand in countries that are further down the international corruption league tables than the US.
Because the FCPA is rarely tested in court – companies preferring to settle with the Department of Justice, rather than face a trial – it is not clear exactly what the law does and does not allow in the way of "facilitating payments" to officials for obtaining foreign building permits and business licences – a class of payment that is excluded from its thunderous prohibitions on overseas bribery.
Small facilitating payments are exactly the kind Wal-Mart appears to have been handing out like candy in Mexico, as it turned its nascent business there into its second-largest profit centre in the last decade. The accusations, which surfaced in The New York Times a week ago and are being investigated by the US Department of Justice, amount to systematic local corruption, even if they do not technically breach US law, and the failure of Wal-Mart's board to act when it found out has opened the company up to serious legal risks.
But would it have been unreasonable for Wal-Mart to take a view that, "that's just the way they do business down there?" The payments used to speed planning approval for new big-box stores were so widespread – hundreds of them, totalling $24m – that it looks institutionalised.
That isn't to call it acceptable. Far from it. But it would only take a tweak or two to legitimise the corruption. You just need to write down some definitions of what is an acceptable bit of corporate hospitality and what is a bribe, which is of course one of the favourite tasks of the US Congress.
You can pay extra to "fast track" all sorts of bureaucratic processes in this country, too, you know, from immigration applications on down. And lobbyist friends tell me it is quite astonishing how helpful being a donor to a politician's campaign can be to help you get that important meeting to discuss a new project. I'm just saying.

Composer Shaan Rahman has said the latest viral sensation "Jimikki Kammal" is the most viewed Malayalam song on Youtube with over 30 million views in just 49 days, making it the fastest track to reach the milestone.
The song is from Mohanlal-starrer "Velipadinte Pusthakam".
"Jimikki Kammal has become the most viewed Malayalam Song on YouTube. We've created history in just under a couple of months,... We owe this success to each and everyone out there," Shaan posted on Twitter on Saturday.
He thanked all those who embraced the song and danced to it.
"Mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and friends who danced to "Jimikkia" and accepted the song with open arms (and heart). We love you all. Thank you," he added.
Ever since the song came out, the peppy track has had several cover versions with most of them also going viral and garnering millions of views.
There was even a college cover version of the song which went viral. This version made the college's commerce professor Sheril an overnight celebrity.
In another version, which was released last month by the makers, Mohanlal is seen shaking a leg to the peppy number.

Wanna get away on vacation, but don’t want to spend the money on a faraway trip? Then look no further than this handy dandy list of camping spots that are close to home and offer plentiful recreation opportunities. Most of these camping spots can be reached by car, but in some cases you’ll need to boat, hike, or four-wheel in to the campsite.
1. King Fisher Island (Flaming Gorge)
This beautiful area is characterized by brightly colored canyon walls, forested hills and a large reservoir that’s perfect for boating, canoeing and more. Flaming Gorge straddles the Utah/Wyoming border near the northeast corner of Utah so it requires a little bit of a drive, but here you’ll find great spots for hiking, biking, horseback riding, fishing and rafting below the dam on the Green River. Many campgrounds are available on or near the reservoir, but for a real treat stay at a boat-in only campsite like Kingfisher Island. You can canoe or boat in and camp on the island, which is quiet and peaceful. But the island has no drinking water so be sure to bring enough for your trip. Kingfisher Island is located 10 miles southeast off Hwy 44 in Manila, Utah, and campsites cost $10 per night.
2. Skyline Drive (Spanish Fork Canyon)
This road starts at Highway 6 in Spanish Fork Canyon and goes south to I-70 in Salina Canyon. The road is rough and some of the drive requires a high clearance four-wheel-drive vehicle or an ATV. But the views are scenic and you’ll see lakes, trees and sights on both sides of the mountain. Many developed camping areas are available along the way near lakes and streams and fishing spots are abundant. The roads in this area are usually open from July to early October.
3. Redman Campground (Big Cottonwood Canyon)
Located in Big Cottonwood Canyon, this area offers spacious camping sites and great rock climbing, mountain biking and hiking in an area full of wildflowers, water and tall trees. Just above the campground, near Brighton Ski Resort, is the boardwalk trail around Silver Lake. This boardwalk provides easy access to the lake for anyone and is a great place to stretch out and relax or cast a fishing line. Off the boardwalk you’ll find many other scenic hikes, just follow the signs. For quiet, secluded camping, pick a site further away from the entrance where fewer people venture. Toilets and drinking water are available. Cook brunch at your campsite or go across the road to Silver Fork Lodge where you’ll find great patio dining and tasty pancakes. To get to Redman Campground, go eight miles up Big Cottonwood Canyon Road until you see signs for the campground. Campsites cost $15 per night.
4. Tanner’s Flat (Little Cottonwood Canyon)
If you’re from Salt Lake City or the suburbs surrounding it, you can’t find much closer camping than Tanner’s Flat. This campground is located just four miles up Little Cottonwood and offers tent and RV camping. This site always fills up on weekends so get there early to get a spot or make a reservation, and remember that a two-day minimum stay is required on weekends. If you’re tent camping, pick a site in the upper section of the campground to avoid crowds and RVers. But be sure not to arrive too late as the gates are locked from 10 p.m.–6 a.m. each day. Nearby hiking and biking trails are plentiful, but if you’re not sure where to hike take the White Pine Trail a mile and a half up the road from Tanner’s Flat. Bathrooms and drinking water are available, and campsites cost $16 per night.
5. Little Mill Campground (American Fork Canyon)
This canyon is great for summer camping, but is especially breathtaking in the fall when the leaves are changing colors. This area is a fee zone and you’ll have to pay just to enter the canyon in addition to camping fees. Many campgrounds are available along the road and in this canyon you’ll find waterfalls, wildflowers, rivers and lakes, as well as great hiking, biking, canoeing, kayaking and rock climbing. Timpanogos Cave National Monument is located in American Fork Canyon and you can enjoy a hike to the cave and exploring inside on a guided tour. Little Mill Campground is just a mile and a half from Timpanogos Cave and offers picnic tables, fire pits, toilets, grills and is next to the American Fork River. But be sure to bring enough drinking water as none is available at this site. Remember that these campsites fill up fast so make reservations at least five days in advance. If this campground is full, continue up the road. To get there from Salt Lake City, take I-15 South and take Exit 284 at Alpine-Highland. Go east on Utah Highway 92, eight miles to mouth of American Fork Canyon. Stay on Highway 92 for four miles to campground.
6. The Narrows (Zion National Park)
Though not quite in your backyard, Zion National Park is a quick three-hour drive away from Salt Lake City and offers some of Utah’s best backpacking opportunities. Backpacking may not be for everyone, but for you adventurous types, backpacking in Zion is said to be some of America’s best. There’s too many amazing backpacking treks in Zion to feature just one, but Cable Mountain is a 15.8-mile round trip backpack that offers striking views and can be combined with other side trips to extend your stay. Here you’ll also see the remains of the historic cable car system that once ran in Zion.
The Narrows is another well-known Zion backpacking spot and can be done as a long day hike or an overnight backpacking trip. In the Narrows you’ll see hanging gardens, sheer walls of water, streams, rock formations and more, making it one of the National Park systems most amazing hikes. The Narrows can be difficult however and requires some swimming and frequent river hiking, but there are places to camp along the way. Permits are required to hike from the top-down so check into it before venturing out. Also, flash flood dangers are high in this area so use caution and pay attention to the weather. For more information about backpacking in Zion National Park, visit zionnational-park.com. To get there from Salt Lake City, take I-15 South, past Beaver then exit on Highway 20. Follow US-89 to Mount Carmel Junction. Take U-9 to Zion’s east entrance.

My suggestion on who should Kabam buff next.
If anyone deserves a buff it’s Carnage for sure. Carnage is the most coolest looking character and in the comics he is easily an OP character. But in the game he has weak damage output and his bleed is useless. Buff up the bleed atleast so he can be somewhat an ok character but right now he is complete trash.

While Philip Pullman's greatest popularity is as a creator of novel-length magical realism for young adults, such as The Northern Lights, he continues to explore and stretch the limits of other children's and young adult genres. Clockwork is no exception. With its inspiration lying solidly in the German romantic tradition of E.T.A. Hoffmann and the Brothers Grimm, the story begins, as all good fairy tales do, with someone whose human weakness sets events inescapably in motion. As the townspeople of Glockenheim gather in the White Horse Tavern on the eve of the unveiling of a new figure for their great town clock, Karl, the clockmaker's apprentice, reveals to Fritz, a young storyteller, that he has not been able to construct the figure. A new clock figure is expected of all apprentices, and Karl is the first in hundreds of years to fail. Fritz, in his turn, has the beginnings of a new story to tell, and as it rolls off his tongue, its dark antagonist materializes and offers Karl his dearest wish. Not surprisingly, Karl's Faustian pact brings him destruction, but an innocent child is the deus ex machina that saves another child and the spirit of the town from seemingly ineluctable oblivion. With its eerie black-and-white illustrations by Leonid Gore and its happily-ever-after ending to some thrilling suspense, Clockwork is a fine fairy tale for younger children and a thought- provoking twist on the art of narrative for older ones. --Barrie Trinkle --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
* "Pullman, the consummate storyteller, offers a deliciously spooky story combining elements of Frankenstein, the Sorcerer's Apprentice, and Faust." Booklist, starred review * "In this tightly wound tale by the author of The Golden Compass and Count Karlstein...a delectably spooky train of events is set in motion when the novelist Fritz sets out to entertain the villagers with his most recent work: the tale of Prince Florian, the deceased local ruler's son, whose fate is linked to a brilliant clockmaker." Publishers Weekly, starred review * "Pullman manages to weave together the threads from both the story and the story within the story in a book filled with tension, menace, and suspense." School Library Journal, starred review * "An intricate little novel [that] ticks along to a gratifying conclusion that is more fable than fantasy." Kirkus, pointer review "Pullman's deft evocation of atmosphere stands him in good stead here, keeping suspension of disbelief alive as he tells the story within the story and brings his characters round the full, magical circle of his plot." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "A suspenseful story-within-a-story richly woven by the award-winning author of The Golden Compass and The Subtle Knife, Clockwork has all the elements of a great fantasy for adults as well as for kids: a despicable villain, a brave heroine and a heart in need of rescue. Pullman's setting may be vaguely historical, but his characters are decidedly updated: It's a young prince who needs to be saved, and it's a brave girl who does the saving." TimeOut New York "The tale is seamless, resolving happily and convincingly, with both the good and brave and the craven and cowardly receiving appropriate rewards. Pullman laces his tale with subtle humor while maintaining the suspense until the end. Misty, moody, and atmospheric black-and-white drawings by Leonid Gore make a perfect fit for this gothic gem."

The great clock of Glockenheim (which really exists)features clockwork figures that come out and move at different times of day or year, and the prospect of a new one by Karl, the clock-maker's apprentice is an event that has people coming from far and wide. On the eve of this great event, a number of people gather in the local inn to hear the latest story by Frtiz, a novelist, who is famed for his hair-raising tales. The one he tells tonight is about their ruler, Prince Otto, who returned from a hunting expedition with his little son Florian, with no heart, only a piece of clockwork that caused him to lash and lash his horses...
Just so, says the narrator, is a story wound up - and this is a tale as finely balanced as a work by the sinister Dr.Kalemenius. How can a little clockwork Prince find a new heart? How can Karl redeem himself from not having fulfilled his contract?
A marvellous, creepy, wise and funny story about a Faustian pact and storytelling itself, it's perfect for children of 7 upwards.
I read it in about 3 or 4 days, it's one of those books which you start reading thinking you might not like it, then after a chapter you can't put the book down. It was the first Philip Pullman book I've read, and now I can't wait to read another one of his books, or even read Clockwork again.
I'd recommend it by far, and would you believe that I came across this book in my school.(WHAT A GREAT BOOK TO PICK!!)
From Romelly aged 10
`Clockwork' for me is a great and atmospheric read, and could well have been a lot longer; it's a very short story which seems a great pity... It's a riveting story of supernatural and dark themes, and when you read the first pages, it appears as if the writer began perhaps intending this story to be much more sinister than it actually is. I also found the cover a bit misleading, (the second this has happened to me with a Pullman book) which would hint and suggest that this is probably more of a child's read, but it is in fact a great read for readers of any age group. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it has only encouraged me to read more books by this author!
This is a very short read - I'm sure it was much bigger when I was younger! - but it is full of a very creepy kind of charm. Pullman paints a beautiful picture in a wintery German village with a wonderful clock who's clockwork figures are marveled at from all over the world and which you'd have to watch the whole year round to see each piece come out. It's so magical and picturesque.
Even as an adult, I still found the story very creepy. It reads like a cross between a Grimm tale and a Victorian fairy tale and the overall effect is equal parts charming and sinister. The different threads of the story weave perfectly together to create the perfect quick and scary read.
Alongside the story there are little comments and asides from the narrator with lovely little pictures to go with them. These sometimes add a little more background information on characters and places, or just little warnings from the narrator to his characters. Because, as he says, once a story is wound up, there's no stopping it.
I'm going to end with a quote because I loved it so much:
"For every once upon a time there must be a story to follow, because if a story doesn't, something else will and it might not be as harmless as a story."

The Angry Penguin Keeper
Yesterday, I took the kids to see the penguin feeding at the Zoo.
There were lots of moms and dads and kids there. Some parents looked calm and happy, like they love love LOOOOOVE summer vacation! And some, well…less so.
Intermingled with the grown-up and little-kid chatter I heard various tired parent rebukes:
“Yossi, I said no more bamba. Do you hear me? NO MORE BAMBA! Or we’re going home!”
“Liel, stop running. I said, STOP RUNNING IMMEDIATELY! You will fall and break your head!”
“Tehila Hodaya, could you PLEASE make room for your brother to see the penguins. Stop just thinking about yourself!”
And then I turned my attention to the penguins. Maybe 40 of them, so small they looked like baby penguins. Scooting all around, hiding in holes, jumping into the water. Unbelievably adorable!
But then one of the children called out, “Look, the zoo lady is angry at the penguins!”
And I looked and saw the child was right– the zookeeper’s lips were pursed, her left hand pressed against one hip as, with her right index finger, she counted the penguins over and over and then stormed up and down the penguin exhibit in a high-state of irritation as she looked for a penguin who, it appeared, was hiding from her.
I couldn’t hear anything through the thick plastic barrier between the penguins and the crowd, but it looked as though the zookeeper was yelling at the penguins who scurried away from her.
And I could imagine the zookeeper’s reasoning for her anger: “But I must count all the penguins! And I can’t find one of them! And he’s a naughty penguin and he never listens to me! I have to teach him a lesson!”
But I had to smile… How ridiculous, I thought. Who cares if there’s one penguin more or less? Who cares if one is hiding in a hole and another went for a swim?
But then I looked around at the crowd of parents and kids, including this parent and these kids, and I wondered if, in fact, we weren’t looking through the plastic barrier but rather in a mirror?

Kinara Capital has had a front-row view of the developments driving India’s $3.5tn economic system over the previous decade. Based in 2011, as one in all a brand new technology of small enterprise lenders, its clients have ridden shocks starting from a tax overhaul in 2017 to Covid-19. “Throughout the pandemic, issues had been a little bit dicey,” says chief government Hardika Shah.
However, after a tough few years, Shah senses a bullish temper: “Everyone is able to get again to enterprise. Everyone is considering, ‘How do I broaden?’”
Kinara is one in all 73 Indian companies on the FT/Statista rating of high-growth Asia-Pacific firms in 2023. And its clients are borrowing greater than ever. Small-scale producers are investing in areas similar to equipment, Shah says, as they attempt to meet demand for auto components and different merchandise. In the meantime, merchants are switching en masse from the cash-based economic system to a digital one, utilizing instruments similar to India’s Unified Funds Interface community.
This comes because the OECD estimates that India’s economic system expanded by 6.9 per cent within the monetary yr to March 31, making it one of many quickest rising amongst bigger nations. Indian equities have additionally been star performers, internationally, for the reason that pandemic started. India’s geopolitical heft has grown, too, because the nation — which, with 1.4bn individuals, is ready to overhaul China because the world’s most populous this yr — hosts the G20 summit in September.
However, at a time of worldwide financial gloom, company executives and traders are watching to see whether or not the bullish momentum round India lasts. The nation has lengthy struggled to ship on heady financial expectations, with repeated predictions that it could go on to recreate China’s phenomenal financial and company progress nonetheless unfulfilled.
But, with geopolitical tensions between the west and Beijing forcing traders to discover various funding locations, prime minister Narendra Modi desires to advertise India’s potential.
His authorities has introduced plans to spice up capital spending by a 3rd over the fiscal yr from April, to Rs10tn ($122bn), following equally massive will increase in recent times, in a bid to enhance infrastructure and drive progress. The finances additionally included tax breaks for younger firms, and different steps designed to assist start-ups.
Per capita progress had been in decline over the previous decade, in accordance with a latest report by the Centre for Social and Financial Progress.
Whereas providers similar to IT thrived, because the nation’s massive pool of expert, English-speaking engineers helped to show India into the world’s outsourcing hub, the manufacturing sector has disenchanted.
Solely 5 Indian producers make it into on this yr’s FT/Statista rating, in contrast with 16 companies from the IT sector. Manufacturing as a share of gross home product has been equally restricted to about 15 per cent since Modi got here to workplace in 2014, regardless of his multiyear “Make in India” marketing campaign, designed to spice up the business.
Analysts say extra manufacturing progress is required to create the type of mass employment loved by China in latest many years.
New Delhi did get pleasure from a lift final yr when Apple, which has been manufacturing low-end iPhones in India since 2017, began constructing its newest fashions within the nation. However the operations stay at an early stage and beset by teething issues.
Different companies are exploring whether or not to comply with swimsuit. Final month, Swedish financial institution SEB organized a tour for Nordic chief executives in search of funding alternatives in India, which included conferences with officers and enterprise leaders.
It has not but translated into extra offers, although, studies Priyanka Kishore, financial director at IMA Asia, a discussion board for regional executives. “Once they begin speaking about the place else to shift, India options very extremely in talks,” she says. “However I’d say the execution will not be on the identical stage because the evaluation on paper.”
“They’re nonetheless not that satisfied that the ecosystem for multinationals is in place,” she provides, citing the nation’s inferior infrastructure and decrease buying energy in contrast with China.
Indian authorities are working exhausting to alter this notion. The southern state of Karnataka, for instance, this yr liberalised its labour legal guidelines to permit for two-shift manufacturing — a longstanding demand from firms that say byzantine labour and land laws put India at an obstacle to different Asian nations.
“These sorts of issues present state governments in India turning into extra enterprise pleasant, a minimum of for giant ticket investments,” says Ashish Dhawan, a non-public fairness investor whose non-profit Convergence Basis focuses on India’s progress and growth. He provides that manufacturing “will do higher, however nonetheless has lengthy methods to go”.
India’s economic system is partly shielded from world shocks due to its massive home market. However it isn’t immune: the nation’s progress is predicted to gradual in keeping with world developments, with export-oriented sectors, similar to IT, significantly uncovered.
After a stellar run final yr, equities, too, have struggled. Markets had been rocked in January and early February by fraud allegations towards India’s Adani Group, one of many nation’s largest personal conglomerates. A sell-off amongst Adani’s 10 listed firms wiped greater than $100bn off the worth of the group, a big borrower from Indian banks.
The fallout from the allegations — which Adani vehemently denies — has been contained up to now, with no signal of contagion spreading by the monetary sector. However analysis agency Capital Economics says it expects Indian equities to stay underneath stress.
Indian start-ups are additionally uncovered to slowing world progress, which has led international traders to redirect funds away from rising markets. International enterprise capital funding of Indian start-ups has slowed sharply: falling 40 per cent, to $25.7bn, in 2022 in contrast with the earlier yr, in accordance with knowledge supplier Tracxn.
Shah of Kinara argues that India, nonetheless, seems to be an outlier when different nations are dealing with recession, with extra of its purchasers seeking to rent, for instance. “After I discuss to my family and friends elsewhere on this planet, there’s this doom and gloom sensation on the market,” she says. “However India is counterintuitive.”

Controvesial man of cloth Prophet Passion Java has come under fire for recently showing off his brand new set of wheels. The yellow Lamborghini has been the subject of debate on social media with most people lambasting the prophet for seeking worldly treasures instead of storing heavenly riches. The prophet posted a short video clip of his new expensive baby and stated that a new toy had been added to his collection. This did not go down well with fellow prophets who accused him of being fake.
Prophet Passion is renowned for his love of the finer things in life. He has a huge apetite for luxurious things and always loves to flaunt his wealth for the public to witness. A few months ago he purchased a helicopter and left many people wondering about his source of wealth. He had gone on social media to show off his acquisition much to the annoyance of fellow prophets.
The prophet has also been labelled Abad influence due to his undying love for Zimdancehall music which is rather odd for one with his religious calling. He often posts videos of himself singing along to dancehall songs by artists such as Soul Jah love and Enzo ishall. He even speaks in dancehall lingo, throwing around words such as “stonyeni” and “twabamu” without any care in the world. This has raised speculation that Prophet Passion is merely a common reveller hiding under the guise of religion to accomplish his mission of living extravagantly.
The prophet recently clinched a deal with fashion powerhouse Gucci and also signed in zimdancehall singer Enzo ishall to his record company for 200 000 rands. He is an ardent supporter of the music genre and once remarked that God had favoured zimdancehall music in Zimbabwe.
Prophet Passion continues to rake in the cash and live his best life, undeterred by negative comments and oblivious to the social media storm about his deals. Although his “man of God” status has come under scrutiny many a times, the prophet still enjoys a huge congregation at his church.

In the typical GSM handset, the PA consumes approximately 40 percent of the energy stored in the battery during one discharge cycle. For this reason, the handset architect must use care in selecting a PA that will provide the most efficient means of generating the required transmitted RF power while using the least amount of energy from the battery.
Handset designers consider several key performance parameters when selecting a PA for GSM handset applications. Maximum output power and peak power efficiency are two of these key parameters. Because talk time, based on one battery charge cycle, is very important to the cell phone end user, the handset designer may select a PA that has the best peak power efficiency (or lowest current consumption at peak power). Though peak power efficiency is a good indicator of the PA impact to talk time, it does not tell the whole story.
In a GSM network, the handset does not always operate at maximum output power. In fact, the handset only operates at maximum output power about seven percent of the time. Probability density function (PDF) curves have been derived by the service providers to understand the probability versus transmit power level relationship for handset operating under real-life conditions.
The Class 4 GSM900 band PDF curve, shown in Figure 1, illustrates the percentage of time that the handset is expected to be transmitting for each power control level (PCL) between 5 and 33 dBm. This relationship shows that almost 40 percent of the time the handset will be transmitting at 4 or 6 dB below the maximum output power. Knowing that backed-off transmit power outweighs peak power in actual usage, the opportunity for talk time improvements exists using intelligent power management which improves backed-off PA efficiency.
The RF power amplifier is designed to meet a specified maximum output power level given a certain minimum voltage from the battery. When the PA is not transmitting at maximum output power or when the battery is fully charged, the PA will not be operating at its most efficient point unless power management techniques are used. Power management is implemented through the use of a DC-to-DC buck converter, which ideally steps the battery voltage down without dissipating power in the form of heat. The DC-to-DC converter conserves energy by using a switching function that only draws current from the battery part of the time, thereby reducing the overall current drawn from the battery. The pulsed voltage on the converter output is filtered through a large LC filter network creating a new lower DC voltage. The DC-to-DC converter is properly controlled to set the PA collector voltage in order to establish the proper output power level.
Figure 2 shows a plot of the average battery current consumption for two different transmit modules (TxM). This data was collected at 12.5 percent duty cycle, so peak current would actually be eight times higher. The TxM is a PA plus switchplexer that connects directly to the antenna. TxM1 has a standard PA, which is controlled by a low dropout (LDO) power control circuit, while TxM2 has the same standard PA but uses a DC-to-DC converter as the power control method. The LDO power control method uses a FET to set the proper PA collector voltage for the required RF output power level. The FET acts as a variable resistor, which drops any extra DC voltage and dissipates power in the form of heat. The DC-to-DC converter power control method uses a pulse width modulator (PWM) to control the PA collector voltage. The PWM reduces the pulse width to reduce the DC-to-DC converter output voltage. Since current is drawn from the battery only during the on time of the PWM, the battery current consumption is substantially lower than that of the LDO power control method. The plot shows the dramatic effects on battery current consumption when using the DC-to-DC converter method of power control on a PA. TxM2 average current consumption is more than 31 mA lower than TxM1 for the power levels with the highest operating probability. Figure 3 illustrates the average current drawn from the battery based on the percentage of time the handset is transmitting at each power level.
To show the effects that this new power management technique has on the talk time performance of the GSM handset, an experiment was done to simulate a full battery discharge cycle of an 850 mA lithium ion battery in a simulated phone environment. For this experiment, the current consumption drawn by everything in the phone minus the PA was set at 100 mA continuous draw. This condition was simulated using a PA connected directly to the battery and biased to operate in idle mode at 100 mA. The transmitting TxM was also connected to the battery and operated over the PDF curve in 15-minute cycles. The PDF curve was used to set the percentage of time during the 15-minute cycle that the PA transmitted at each power level. For example, at output power level 29 dBm the probability is 20 percent, so the time spent transmitting at 29 dBm was three minutes (20 percent of 15 minutes) before going to the next operating power level. The test program repeated the 15-minute PDF cycle until the battery voltage dropped below 3.0 V. At that point, the time was recorded. After testing both TxM1 and TxM2, the results proved that TxM2, which used the DC-to-DC converter, operated one hour and 11 minutes longer than TxM1. That is a 21 percent improvement in handset talk time. The actual talk time results, based on operation at 12.5 percent duty, are shown in Figure 4.
An interesting point to notice when examining maximum RF output power current consumption is that TxM1 had slightly lower current consumption at the same peak power level. Based on the old train of thought about only looking at the peak power efficiency, TxM1 should have enabled the handset to operate with longer talk time than TxM2. This, however, was not the case. Even though peak power efficiency is still an important parameter to consider when selecting a PA to maximize talk time, proper transmitter power management can have a more substantial effect on talk time.
Like the GSM system, the (W)CDMA system also has a PDF curve for their typical network, which estimates the probability of the handset transmitting at a specified power level. Figure 5 shows the PDF curve for a typical CDMA system operating in two different environments, urban and suburban. In the CDMA case, the handset output power levels with the highest probability occur around –3 dBm. Since the most probable operating power level occurs so far below the +24 dBm maximum output power level, the handset architect must carefully design the transmitter section to focus on minimizing current consumption at the lower power levels in order to optimize talk time.
Once again, the best efficiency enhancement solution for minimizing battery current versus power level is to use a DC-to-DC converter for PA collector voltage control. In a WCDMA system, the PA is required to be linear. In order to maintain linearity, the DC collector voltage must be sufficiently high enough to accommodate the RF signal voltage swing. To achieve the most efficient transmitting system, the DC collector voltage should maintain the PA just slightly beyond the onset of gain compression. WCDMA power amplifiers are capable of transmitting a 0 dBm linear RF signal at a collector voltage of 0.6 V. A DC-to-DC converter supplying 0.6 V from a 3.6 V battery would reduce battery current consumption by 5/6 if the converter was 100 percent efficient. For the case of a standard fixed gain PA, which typically operates at 60 mA at 0 dBm, the current consumption would be reduced to 10 mA. Unfortunately, the converter is not 100 percent efficient, so the current consumption savings will be slightly less. DC-to-DC converters usually exhibit efficiencies in the mid 90 percent range under heavy load. A heavy load occurs when the DC-to-DC converter is sourcing current greater than 50 mA at a voltage level close to 3 V. Having high converter efficiency under heavy load is important to maintain overall PA plus converter system efficiency. In the WCDMA handset however, the PA is typically operating at a light load condition due to higher probabilities for lower power levels. The converter light load operating condition is usually considered to be at an output voltage below 1 V and sourcing current under 50 mA. A typical DC-to-DC converter will, at best, be 50 percent efficient under these operating conditions unless special design techniques are incorporated to improve light load efficiency. Even at a converter efficiency of 50 percent, the DC-to-DC converter solution still provides substantial current reduction benefit. In the example demonstrated earlier, where the current consumption was reduced from 60 to 10 mA with a 100 percent efficient converter, the 50 percent light load efficient converter would still reduce the current from 60 to 20 mA. For a WCDMA handset, the transmitter architect should look closely at the DC-to-DC converter specification for light load performance because in many cases these operating conditions are not included in the data sheet.
Additional current consumption savings can be achieved if the PA includes an analog bias control circuit. In this configuration, the PA base bias is reduced versus power since the PA does not require high collector current in order to remain linear at low power levels. Analog bias controlled WCDMA power amplifiers have been shown to operate linearly with as low as 20 mA quiescent collector current. At 0 dBm, the PA rectified current is only slightly above this quiescent current level. A simple example can demonstrate the reduction of battery current consumption when an analog bias control PA is operated with a DC-to-DC converter. An analog bias control PA operating at 0 dBm at about 24 mA of current would still only need 0.6 V collector voltage. The six times reduction in voltage from the DC-to-DC converter would result in a 5/6 reduction in the current consumption from the battery dropping it down to 4 mA with an ideal converter. Even with the converter at 50 percent efficient, the current consumption would still only be 8 mA.
Figure 6 illustrates measured results of the current drawn from the power supply when using the same WCDMA PA and utilizing different methods of power management. This chart focuses on the highest probable PA operating power levels in a handset and demonstrates the reduction in battery current consumption that can be achieved when using these various power management techniques. The 0 dBm PA operating power was chosen as the reference point because this would be the highest probable PA power level after considering approximately 3 dB of insertion loss in the handset between the PA and antenna. At 0 dBm, this chart illustrates that the DC-to-DC converter power management technique provides the biggest impact on the reduction of battery current consumption with a 79 percent reduction in current versus the PA with no power management. Additional current consumption reduction is achieved when combining the DC-to-DC converter with analog bias control resulting in an 88 percent reduction in current consumption. In a WCDMA handset, a PA operating with no power management can consume up to 40 percent of the available battery energy during one discharge cycle. With the use of intelligent power management and the potential 88 percent reduction in current consumption, the PA contribution to the energy consumed during the discharge cycle can be dramatically reduced.
This article has discussed the transmitter section of the handset and how the PA current consumption affects the handset talk time through one battery charge cycle. Although the PA peak power efficiency is still an important parameter to consider, this article has illustrated through measured results the need for intelligent power management in the handset transmitter section. Utilizing a DC-to-DC converter to properly manage the DC power to the PA is beneficial in both GSM and WCDMA handsets resulting in dramatic reduction in current consumption and thereby increasing the handset talk time. Along with the improvement to handset talk time, the DC-to-DC converter also provides another less recognized benefit in the form of less heat being generated by the PA. The DC-to-DC converter provides an optimal DC environment for the PA to operate with reduced power dissipation and thereby lower operating temperatures.

Over the summer (and with much fanfare,) MTV announced the relaunch of the network’s legendary fashion show House Of Style. To ramp up the nostalgic love for this late ’80s and early ’90s style-obsessed show, MTV opened up their archives and streamed all 12 seasons on MTV.com. After much anticipation, the first episode of the new season has finally aired. In the premiere, our illustrious hosts, models Joan Smalls and Karlie Kloss, take us backstage for Paris Fashion Week and give us behind the scenes runway magic at Stella McCartney’s and Jean Paul Gaultier’s shows. We even get a peek into Joan and Karlie’s private lives as well. Seeking some normalcy while on the road for the grueling fashion month calendar, Karlie brings along her sister and meets up with her personal trainer to achieve some calm and balance. And Joan seeks comfort and kind words from her boyfriend who has made the trek to Paris to keep her company. All in all, the first episode is very cute and has us stoked for the rest of the season.
Thank the fashion gods for the return of House of Style, and watch the first episode below.

The Guides started in 1958 with the publication by the American Medical Association (AMA) of the article, “A Guide to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment of the Extremities and Back”; this was followed by additional guides published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. In 1971, a compendium of 13 guides became the First Edition. The Second Edition was published thirteen years later, in 1984, followed by the Third Edition in 1988.
The Third Edition was the first to use the Swanson methodology, which assigned discreet impairment ratings to the specific range of motion (ROM) deficits of the upper extremities. Although the Third Edition was replaced two years later by the Third Edition, Revised, which is still used by the State of Colorado for workers’ compensation cases, the use of ROM “pie charts” to assess impairment from upper-extremity ROM deficits was retained.

The U.S. Department of the Interior recently announced an addition of 50 Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) fixed wing UAVs, and these tools will round out a drone program that has become a real leader in terms of the application of this technology. Since the DOI is one of the few agencies that actually runs towards fires, floods, volcanoes and earthquakes, their UAS Program has allowed them to help officials gather critical information more quickly and act with greater clarity and agility.
This increase in efficiency and effectiveness is particularly important to the DOI, partly because it’s been referred to as the “Department of Everything Else”. It has vast responsibilities that include everything from fighting forest fires to monitoring wildlife to providing scientific insight about the nation’s natural resources and cultural heritage. Officials in the department recognized the potential drones could make for these tasks and more, but potential wasn’t going to be enough to make an investment. It meant the department had to move forward with drone technology while incurring zero acquisition and maintenance costs.
From those humble beginnings came a program that has not only been expanded with that addition of VTOL UAVs, but has also been able to quantify the difference drones have made with saving $50 million in land and infrastructure value that could have otherwise been lost. Those financial benefits along with the impact to the DOI’s core mission underscore what it means to measure the value of this technology, but their path to creating that value is an especially relevant one to explore.
A Vision for Integration Drones
The DOI’s drones flew nearly 5,000 missions in 2017, but all of that goes back to an exploration of the technology that was begun by Mark Bathrick, Director of Aviation Services at the DOI, in 2006. By Bathrick’s own admission, things started slow, as the department didn’t start training until 2009, and didn’t even start flying for missions until 2010. They always had a vision for introducing and integrating drones into their department, but they had no extra personnel and no money to make that happen.
“Whenever you’re going to start a new business line, the first thing you have to do is continue to deliver on your core business,” Bathrick told Commercial UAV News. “We’re tasked with providing the bureaus with hundreds of aircrafts and training for thousands of their employees so they are safe and mission-ready for the annual field and fire season. So we knew we couldn’t let anything take away from that, which meant we needed to free up personnel and resources to make this happen. That was something we achieved through the adoption of international quality standards that allowed us to increase the outcome efficiency of our core business, and that efficiency meant we were able to repurpose resources to experiment with and prove the value of drones.”
As an ex-Navy TOPGUN fighter and test pilot, Bathrick learned about the importance of having a well-thought through strategy, and those lessons are evident in how the DOI’s drone program was begun. Their efforts to adopt drone technology never took away from the work and responsibilities that already existed, and instead helped prove where efficiencies could be created. That strategy around creating these kinds of efficiencies stems from the four must-have competencies to achieve commercial UAV success.
The Four Key Competencies
As a keynote speaker at the Commercial UAV Expo, Bathrick has previously talked about how and why aviation, privacy, security and culture need to be considered in detail when coming up with that vision for introducing and integrating drones. Each of the competencies requires expertise and attention, but the way in which they’re all interrelated is critical to understand.
“Culture is a big one, because there’s often resistance to change and a new way of doing things,” Bathrick explained. That cultural aspect can go deeper though, and if the culture of the company is to treat drones as toys, then you’re not going to appreciate the responsibilities that are inherent in aviation. Likewise, privacy and security are somewhat invisible issues, but the old quote about aviation being terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect is more relevant than ever as we can see with the current public reaction to massive privacy and security breaches by some well-known companies. There are some company culture aspects that need to be addressed early on in a program, and I think that’s been part of our success. Our continuing challenge is to make sure that our culture understands the importance of all those competencies and acts accordingly to address them.”
Any organization that is looking to adopt drones into their business must fully realize the risks they are taking when operating aircraft, and that’s something that cuts across the four competencies Bathrick mentioned. Succeeding with these competencies is just the first step though, and opens up opportunities and options related to the core missions and challenges that an organization is looking to address.
Supporting and Augmenting Core Committments
The costs associated with drone adoption might be the biggest hurdle organizations are facing, but they certainly aren’t the only ones. Oftentimes, the additional challenges that stakeholders face will depend on the industry. For anyone using a drone on a farm, privacy concerns are not at the top of the list of issues that need to be sorted out. However, public officials have to deal with this issue in a proactive way, as it’s something that can often be the biggest issue for officials to work through. That can be especially problematic for the DOI, since every year they have over 400 million visits to DOI land, which is why from beginning to end, they emphasize that being proactive, transparent and collaborative with the people whose land they’re stewarding is essential.
“The first step we took was to educate our own personnel and to help them appreciate the technology,” Bathrick explained. “When you see an airplane or helicopter flying, you assume that it’s taking someone or something from point A to point B. But when you see a drone flying, you’re convinced that it must be spying on you. Some might think that’s a silly concept, but we recognize that it’s a purely normal, human reaction. That’s why one of the first things we did was sensitize our folks to the fact that this is out there, it’s real, and it’s something we can and need to address. We have to earn the public’s trust. It’s not given. We emphasize that every mission is an opportunity to earn that trust, but it’s also an opportunity to lose that trust. ”
Addressing that has meant having DOI officials reach out to communities about where they’ll be flying and explaining what they’re doing and why it’s important. It’s meant being transparent with the data they’re collecting, and allowing people to access all of that. As a brief example of that transparency, under the DOI UAS Reports, Information Bulletins, Guides & Policy Document Releases resource, you can find 19 linked files that provide incredible access to exactly what the DOI is doing with their drones, and the type of information they’ve gathered with them.
That access includes the 2015 Interagency Unmanned Aircraft Technology Demonstration Plan as well as the 2017 Boundary Fire UAS Operations After-Action Review and Lessons Learned and the 2017 Virgin Islands National Park Hurricane Maria UAS Operations Report, along with a Detailed summary of 2017 DOI UAS Flights. A recent Searchable DOI UAS Imagery Data update allows viewers to engage with this information on a whole new level.
That’s just a brief look at a few of well over a hundred total files on the DOI’s UAS pages, and they’re constantly adding links to share with their bureau and interagency partners and the public. This effort underscores their commitment to a culture that has always emphasized consideration of and transparency with the American people. It’s a core commitment that drones have not only supported, but augmented in a very real way.
The scope of the DOI’s UAS program along with the successes they’ve been able to document with it might make it seem like the adoption of this technology was always going to be a given for the department, but in fact, the opposite is true. Bathrick and plenty of other officials will be the first to admit that some of the challenges that came up made them question what they were doing at times, and whether or not anything would come of their efforts. With that being the case, and knowing now where things ended up, what advice would Bathrick have for himself if he could go back to the beginning of this process?
“If I had my choice, I wouldn’t go back to the beginning,” Bathrick concluded. “I’d go back to somewhere in the middle, when the cultural and fiscal challenges seemed like they were insurmountable. I would go back and say that it’s okay at the other end, and to stay with it, and roll with it, because in the end, you’ll be extremely proud of what you’ve accomplished. Even with all that we’ve done we still aren’t finished, as we’re looking forward to continuing to grow and build this program as a responsible program into the model of “drones for good”, and that’s something anyone struggling with creating their own UAS program needs to recognize.”

In this article I will show you a salad recipe that pairs really well with your roast beef dinner. You don’t need to worry if you’re new or experienced in cooking because this salad requires minimal prep time and only a few simple ingredients. Plus, it tastes delicious! Together we’ll explore the textures and flavors of all the ingredients used as well as some useful tips on cutting preparation time so you won’t be slaving away in the kitchen for hours. So let’s get started and create an easy yet delicious side dish for your roast beef dinner!

best salad to go with roast beef dinner
A classic and easy salad to go with a roast beef dinner is a simple green salad. Start by combining your favorite greens, such as romaine lettuce, spinach, or arugula. Then add some crunchy vegetables like cucumbers, bell peppers, carrots or radishes. Finally top it off with some shredded cheese and croutons for extra flavor. For the dressing you can use an olive oil based vinaigrette or make your own creamy Caesar dressing. This refreshing side dish will be sure to compliment any roast beef dinner!
How to Choose the Right Salads for roast beef dinner
The Perfect Starter
When you’re planning a roast beef dinner, it can be hard to decide what kind of salad to serve. You want something that will complement the main course and also tantalize your guests’ palates before they tuck into their meal. A good starting point is to choose a classic combination like tomato and lettuce or spinach and cucumber, as these are both very popular options that go well with most dishes. If you want something slightly more exotic, then try adding some seasonal fruits such as pomegranate seeds or grapes into the mix!
Mixing It Up With Dressings and Toppings
Once you have chosen the base ingredients for your salad, think about how best to dress them up with flavorful dressings and toppings. For instance, if you’re using a tomato-based salad then why not add some balsamic vinegar or olive oil? You could even sprinkle on some freshly cracked black pepper for added zestiness. Alternatively, if your greens are quite plain in taste then try adding crumbled feta cheese or crunchy walnuts for texture contrast—the possibilities here are endless!
Final Touches: Herbs & Garnishes
Now all that remains is choosing those little finishing touches which will really bring out the flavor profile of your salads. Fresh herbs work well here – think basil leaves sprinkled over tomatoes; chives scattered over mixed leafy greens; parsley chopped finely over potato wedges etc… Lastly, don’t forget presentation either – garnishes like edible flowers can really help make any dish look beautiful on a plate!

Selecting Fresh Vegetables and Ingredients for roast beef salad
When selecting fresh vegetables and ingredients for a roast beef salad, it is important to consider the flavor profile of the dish. A good starting point is to choose fruits and vegetables that will compliment each other with their natural flavors. For example, sweet red peppers pair well with radishes for a slightly acidic bite while artichoke hearts bring in the savory notes. Moreover, crunchy elements like tomatoes or cucumbers can create texture as accompaniments to softer items such as mushrooms or onions.
In addition, think about the presentation of your salad when picking out specific ingredients:
- Choose bright colors that stand out against one another
- Consider adding herbs like thyme, oregano and basil for an aromatic touch
- Combine textures by using crunchy and soft produce
For instance, if opting for carrots in your roast beef salad opt for thin matchsticks so they give an interesting visual aspect on top of providing flavor along with boiled potatoes diced into cubes. Further still you could also try roasted zucchini ribbons which are both aesthetically pleasing as well as flavorful.
Whether roasting vegetables from scratch or picking them up pre-made from grocery stores taking time over choosing fresh ingredients will ensure that your roast beef salad is full of robust flavors. In doing so you’ll be sure to impress family & friends alike!
Arugula and Parmesan Salad with Balsamic Dressing for roast beef
- 4 cups arugula
- 1/2 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
This Arugula and Parmesan Salad is a delicious accompaniment to any roast beef meal. The dressing is made with a combination of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar for that classic Mediterranean flavor. The arugula adds a peppery, slightly bitter bite while the Parmesan cheese provides some salty depth in each bite. This salad works well as an appetizer or side dish with any main course.
To prepare this salad, start by rinsing the arugula under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Next, dry the arugula thoroughly using paper towels or a salad spinner before adding it to a large bowl. Follow up by adding in the shaved parmesan cheese along with salt & freshly ground black pepper according to your preference.
Finally, make the dressing by whisking together equal parts of extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar in small bowl until creamy & combined. Drizzle over your prepared salad before tossing everything together carefully using tongs or two forks until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the dish.

When you’re engrossed in a good book nothing else matters. You could be chilled to the bone, within earshot of a cacophony of noise, or being tossed around like a rag doll in a train carriage, but it’s still not enough to disturb that bubble. That’s one of reading’s many beauties: the opportunity for escapism.
But what’s it going to take for you to pick up that book? You know, the one that might help you finish that essay, broaden your horizons, or increase your earning potential? The one we make elaborate excuses for not reading?
I believe this where an online book reading platform like Readmill has huge potential.
Picking up the book you know you should be reading
Buying or borrowing a book on a subject may seem a significant rung up the ladder, but acquiring it is just about the easy part. The real test is when it’s sitting neatly on your bookshelf or desk, or loaded into your Ebook reader, and has been for some time. Who or what is going to push you to prize open that cover?
Learning amongst others, particularly in an academic setting, should be just about ideal. But how often did our required reading largely consists of big, heavy textbooks laden with hundreds of pages with tiny type and an equally uninspiring cover? This coupled with an unfortunate feeling that many of your contemporaries weren’t taking things as seriously as they could was enough to cause that initial late summer buzz to wilt by late autumn.
Frustration and panic can provide short jolts. If you work yourself up into a mood you can do just about anything, but that’s hardly the ideal frame of mind for taking in information. This often feels more like some sort of punishment.
Waiting for a chance to question a book can work. Instead of moving from cover to cover you use it as a reference; relying on the strength of its index to dip in and out when the time arises. But how do you know if the real solution you’re looking for is not on the page you’ve already read and understood but on a page you haven’t?
It matters not that this book may make a great deal of difference to your circumstances. It’s hard work reading when your mind wants to wander off in search of more appealing and safer subjects; when your focus and concentration drifts in and out, causing you to revisit whole passages you’ve failed to take in.
Making time for reading–particularly if it follows a regular pattern–obviously helps. Half an hour once a day is a good deal better than three and a half late on a Sunday. And being good to yourself afterwards can also provide the motivation to attack unappealing text with added vigour.
But how about sharing these issues and your book-reading progress with others trying to do precisely the same thing? Discussing a book amongst people with different views, backgrounds, and experience can enhance your understanding of a subject. And, by the same token, sharing your highlights and insights can alert others to things they may have missed or didn’t consider important at the time.
They’ll help push you just as much as you’ll help push them.
