2019 Rezvani Tank X 707-HP Hellcat V8 Review & Changes – The face may be common, but beneath the wickedness that is the Rezvani Tank exists an evil engine solution that may be the greatest integrating considering that oxygen and existence as we realize it. Can you consider of a lot more scary vehicle to pack Dodge's 707-horsepower (527-kilowatt) Hellcat V8 engine? Say hello there to the Tank X, which like the Armed forces Edition we noticed back in July, recipes up fiendish power from the popular 6.2-liter supercharged Dodge V8.
The Tank X comes after the exact same general formula from the Military services Edition but wraps it in a package that appears significantly less like a desert attack vehicle and much more like one thing we'd select to overcome aliens on the moon. Additionally, it forgoes the ballistics safety like the B7-rated window and body solar panels, neither would it generate a smoke screen – that is, unless of course the engine has a disastrous malfunction or you pick to whirl wicked off-road donuts. It will, however, maintain the great energy/FLIR night vision capacity as a possibility.
Additionally, it maintains the available Off-Road Extreme Package, which provides a 6-inch lift and a Dynatrac ProRock XD60/80 axle set with air lockers and an air compressor. Dynatrac ProGrip front and rear brakes are part of the package as properly as Fox 2.5-inch interior avoid shocks. And it all trips on meaty 37-inch auto tires which, as you will see, keep amazing tracks in the sand. As well terrible the Apollo astronauts couldn't have experienced this alternatively of that teeny electric rover.
Inside is not rather as tough and tumble, but it is absolutely interest-getting. There is a new hand-sewn red leather package that features leather seats with a suede headliner, a head-up display, and a 7.9-inch infotainment screen with lots of apps for supporting you understand the roads much less traveled, or detours close to downtown traffic jams most likely brought on by individuals gawking at you in the Tank X.

MESSERSCHMITT BF 109 PB
Military > Overseas Military
Author: Chris Goss
Series: Air War Archive Ser.
The most iconic German aircraft of the Second World War, the Messerschmitt Bf 109 was the Luftwaffe's principal fighter from 1939 until 1942 when the superior Focke-Wulf Fw 190 came into greater prominence. The Bf 109 served in every theatre of the war, though in this book the author examines the Tip and Run era, D-Day and the Eastern Front.
In the later years of the war, the Bf 109 fought with some success in the defense of Germany against Allied bombers. The Bf 109 was the most produced fighter aircraft in history and more aerial kills were made with this fighter than any other aircraft. Indeed, A total of 105 Bf 109 pilots were each credited with the destruction of 100 or more enemy aircraft; thirteen of these men scored more than 200 kills, while two scored more than 300. The Bf 109 was flown by the three top-scoring fighter aces of the war: Erich Hartmann, the top-scoring fighter pilot of all time claiming 352 victories, Gerhard Barkhorn with 301 victories, and G nther Rall, who claimed 275 victories. All of them flew with JG 52, a unit which exclusively flew the Bf 109 and was credited with over 10,000 victories, chiefly on the Eastern Front.
The Bf 109 was also supplied to several of Germany's allies, including Finland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, and Slovakia.
In this selection of unrivalled images collected over many years, the operations of this famous aircraft in the latter part of the Second World War are portrayed and brought to life.

Considerable cloudiness. A few flurries or snow showers possible. Low 28F. Winds light and variable.
Retired Brig. Gen. Colleen McGuire grew up in Missoula and served stints in Somalia, Iraq, and the Pentagon, among other places. She opened doors for women in the military, becoming the first woman to hold several high-level army positions.
SARA DIGGINS, Missoulian
Missoula woman reached dizzying heights in the Army
KIM BRIGGEMAN kbriggeman@missoulian.com
Kim Briggeman
Mineral County, veterans issues
She came out of West Kent Avenue, Whittier and Washington grade schools and Sentinel High.
As a University of Montana student in the late 1970s, Colleen McGuire jumped from airplanes with the Silvertip Skydivers, led cheers from the sidelines at Grizzly games, and toted cameras around for KECI-TV in what she thought was as a budding career in television news.
But McGuire wanted to shake her Missoula bonds and see the world.
"I thought if I joined the Army I would have the opportunity to do that for four years," McGuire said this week on a visit to her old hometown from her new one, Kalispell, where she's lived in retirement the past six years. "Then I'd get out and pursue my career."
Four years turned into 32, in a military career that would take the rest of this page and several more to detail.
She doesn't like her Wikipedia page; it's incomplete and in some places downright wrong, she said. But it has three things correct about Colleen McGuire's life. She was:
the first female commandant, or warden, at the Department of Defense maximum security prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
the first woman in U.S. Army history to hold the highest law enforcement office, provost marshal general.
the first woman to head the Army's premier felony investigative arm, the Criminal Investigation Command.
Wikipedia doesn't say, but when Gen. George Casey, Army Chief of Staff, pinned a brigadier general's star on her shoulder at the Pentagon in December 2008, McGuire became what is thought to be the first woman from Montana to attain the rank of general.
Barely a year later, in January 2010, she received the twin charges of provost marshal general of the Army, a war-time position that dates back to the birth of the nation, and head of the Criminal Investigation Command.
At a ceremony at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Peter Chiarelli took the opportunity to hail the accomplishments of the military law-enforcement team of which McGuire was now in charge.
"You have a significant and lasting impact," Chiarelli told the MPs. "However, much work remains to be done. And I absolutely believe Brig. Gen. Colleen McGuire is the right person to lead you in the challenging days ahead. She is a proven, gifted leader — both in garrison and combat."
Her career was capped last March when McGuire was inducted into the Army Women's Hall of Fame on Capitol Hill.
"She was a superstar," retired Maj. Gen. Gil Meyer said Friday from his home in Reston, Virginia. "She still is, but she was considered a superstar in the Army."
Deployments in embattled Somalia in 1993 and 1994, and in Iraq during the "surge" in 2007 …
Head of an Army Suicide Prevention Task Force that produced the 2010 "Red Book," a 355-page report that found, among other things, a direct link between opioids and suicides …
McGuire served her final years before retirement in 2012 at the Pentagon for Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In 2013 she was tapped by Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel to serve on a congressionally mandated panel to study adult sexual assaults in the military.
It might seem paradoxical, given her sunny outlook and wide palette of interests and abilities, that McGuire hung her service hat on the criminal arm of the Army. It was one of many risks she took in her career that panned out.
"I became military police because I believed it was the closest at the time that women could get to combat," she said. "That's what was attractive to me, not the law enforcement aspect but the combat aspect."
Meyer was McGuire's mentor in the MPs when McGuire was a young captain, and is now a life-long friend.
"I don't know why she chose the military police, but she fit in very well," he said. "She was a role model, for females in particular. It's her demeanor. She treats people with dignity and respect, she's approachable, smart, and she's action-oriented. If you give her something to do, she gets it done."
None of McGuire's "firsts" as a woman officer were intentional. Indeed, her promotions were natural steps in a career of proven leadership skills, instilled in part by her father Bill, a retired Army command sergeant major. Her brothers Bill and John both served tours in Iraq.
"To be the first (female) commander of a prison certainly wasn't on my list to do, but I ended up loving it," McGuire said. "And there weren't any qualms at all about having a woman in command of an all-male maximum security prison. It was just that there had never been a woman that was either qualified or experienced to do something like that."
She delights in the strides women in the military have made since she was a private drilling on the parade ground at Fort Missoula under Sgt. Bill McGuire, her father and still her biggest fan.
"I look at the young women who just completed Ranger School," the Army's most grueling training course, McGuire said. "Compare that to, I think it was 1976, when the first women went through airborne training. I think they had two women learn how to jump out of an airplane, and they were almost coddling them."
Even when she went through airborne training in 1980, women trained separately from men.
As late as her final years at the Pentagon, the Army was grappling with the idea of allowing women into combat.
"We were trying to figure out the parameters, where and how they could serve," McGuire said. "Women had clearly proven themselves in Iraq and Afghanistan. At that point, where there are no frontline tactics like you saw in World War II, it was all over."
It 2016, Secretary of Defense Ash Carter approved plans to open all combat jobs to women.
"It was nice watching all that evolve over just 30 years or so," said McGuire.
Upon her retirement she tried something new. Brig. Gen. McGuire filled out a resume.
"You don't apply for jobs when you're in the Army," she said.
For practice, the UM Delta Gamma alumnus thought she'd interview for the executive director position of the national Delta Gamma Fraternity. She was hired on the spot and spent her first two years out of the Army in Columbus, Ohio. In true McGuire fashion, she found a city and job she loved.
In 2014, she stepped down and moved to Montana. She settled in Kalispell, to be near her daughter Maggie's family, including grandsons Conrad, 10, and Max, 6.
McGuire recently bought a historic house, a fixer-upper on the east side of Kalispell that will keep her busy for awhile. After a short marriage in her early service years, she's never remarried but travels extensively, visiting a wide net of friends around the nation and beyond.
She's a skier, a cyclist, a hiker, who revels in the outdoor life that attracted her to the Army in the first place. The city girl even has a cattle ranch in Eastern Oregon, where she spends a month at a time throughout the year. It'll soon be calving time so she's heading west at the end of January.
"I haven't got the itch to go back to work. I like the freedom of trying different things, and I have a lot of hobbies," she said. "It will surprise you, but I knit, crochet and do all the needlecrafts."
When she takes time to reflect, McGuire wonders how she did it all.
"It's like, holy cow, I must have been like a gerbil on crack," she joked. "Looking back on it it's like I'm talking about somebody else."
She tells friends she spent 32 years in the military and 32 years trying to get back to Montana. Now she's here.
"I saw the world. This is the best. It really is. There's nothing like home," retired Brig. Gen. McGuire said.
"To this point in my life I can honestly say I have absolutely no regrets, because it all led to a really dynamic and fun life that I'm still living. So it's like, what am I going to do next? and I don't know."

Celtic fans hit the Aberdeen boss with chants of 'sad Orange b*****d'.
Kris Commons has told Derek McInnes he should not have felt the need to apologise for reacting to sectarian abuse from Celtic fans.
The Aberdeen boss was sent to the stands after gesturing to Hoops supporters after they directed chants of "sad Orange b*****d" at him.
Afterwards, McInnes insisted he was wrong to react to the bigoted song.
But Commons has absolved the 47-year-old of blame because he was the victim not the offender.
In his Daily Mail column, the former Celtic star said: "McInnes felt the need to explain himself after being verbally abused by thousands of people inside a football stadium.
"Can someone please tell me why? Nobody should ever have to justify their actions when they are on the receiving end of these idiotic chants.
"McInnes struck a really dignified tone in his post-match comments by saying he was 'wrong' to react to the Celtic fans in the way he did.
"But he wasn't in the wrong at all – he would have been fully entitled to come out and give them both barrels.
"In fact, he only stopped short of offering an apology. It's such a sad reflection of Scottish football because he had absolutely nothing to be sorry for.
"Let's call it out for what it is – religious hatred. It's been happening all year in what is turning out to be a season of shame."
Kilmarnock boss Steve Clarke and Rangers manager Steven Gerrard are just two others who have been subjected to "Fenian" and "Orange" chants this season.
McInnes revealed the Hampden incident has been included in the match delegate's report.

I first met Labdhi through Nitin Patel, who was a faculty at IIMA. Labdhi was looking for market research services for his consulting activities and I was running a market research company - Marketing and Business Associates (MBA) - along with three others from the IIMA 1972 batch. So we teamed up with Labdhi. In any consulting operation, Labdhi would do the problem identification and strategy determination, while we would do the market research based on the problem and to feed into the strategy. In some sense, he would be the brains of the operation while we would be the eyes and ears collecting, collating and analyzing the data.
Labdhi was very parsimonious in speech, but whatever he said was completely sense ridden. I always thought that he had a natural Marwari business sense combined with the sophistication of a Western educated person. And that was very unique to him. He would be able to get to the nub of any business problem within the first half hour of any meeting.
An example I remember of this is the case of Parachute Oil. They were considering a price reduction and Labdhi grasped very quickly that there was no need for a price reduction and, if anything, they should increase the price and he gave his reasoning for this. The market research we did later confirmed this to be the case.
With Labdhi, we also ran a set of product policy training programmes, typically in Goa. Labdhi would usually take most sessions while we would take a few on market research, and someone from the advertising agencies would take another couple. We would advertise these programmes and write to companies and they would send people from their Marketing departments for the training.
Another such training programme was being planned in November, 1988. So, when Labdhi was in Mumbai on 18th,October I asked to meet him to discuss some of the logistics of the programme. Labdhi had initially planned to take the evening flight back to Ahmedabad but wasn't sure. The flight in those days would be fairly early in the evening and he wasn't sure if his meeting would finish by then. As far as I remember, he was meeting someone at Cadbury that day. We spoke 2-3 times during the day and Labdhi finally called me in the afternoon and said that he was staying over that night as the meeting had not finished on time. And he said we could meet at the Centaur for dinner.
We met in his room and then went for dinner. Labdhi's favourite food was Chinese - especially his all-time favourite golden fried prawns. He had those, fried rice, some noodles and brandy with hot water - which he preferred because of his chronic throat /sinus/ cold problems.
We discussed the logistics of the upcoming product policy training programme - how many people were expected, etc. He was also discussing whether the whole family would accompany him or just his wife.
Then later he mentioned that he had been spoken to at IIMA regarding whether he would be interested in taking up the Director's position and he was ruminating over whether he should. I told him that he should give it a go and IIMA needed leaders like him. That evening, Labdhi described to me what he would be interested in doing if he took it up - he said he would want to take IIMA more international and get foreign faculty, etc.
We were together till around midnight. Next morning, I got a call from Rama Bijapurkar saying that the flight to Ahmedabad has crashed.

Of childhood and dreams of joining army
Ajay was born in Gazipur, near Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh). His father, a graduate from IIT BHU, was employed with Birla Cement factory in Satna (Madhya Pradesh). As a child Ajay was a true all-rounder, excelling in sports, extra curricular activies and, of course, studies. He recalls,
I used to think in 9th and 10th that the kind of talent I have, the only job that will do justice to me is army. There you have to be intelligent and also be a sportsperson. So, I should become an army officer.
Ajay's childhood pic with parents and siblings
After his 12th, when everybody around him was thinking doing engineering, he was thinking of joining the army, and prepared for the NDA exam. He cleared the written exam and but could not pass the SSB round. It came as a big jolt to him since he believed nobody could reject him.
An engineering student giving NDA attempts
Ajay at NCC
Ajay's father persuaded him to write the entrance examination for engineering colleges even if he didn't wish to join one. He got through the UP state engineering entrance examination, and had to be pushed to take admission in an engineering college, as he was still keen to join the army. Since he had passed his 12th from a different state (Madhya Pradesh), he didn't have many options even after getting a good grade. Eventually, Ajay joined state-level government college IET. He says,
"For me these things didn't matter as I didn't want to stay there."
He applied for NDA after six months and was rejected again. Today, Ajay thinks that joining the army was not in his destiny as he did not have the discipline that is required in the army. He says even in school and college, he used to have poor attendance but managed to score good marks. His college once even sent a letter to his parents informing them about his low attendance record.
Thinking tech, thinking engineering
Somewhere in his third year, Ajay realised that this (technology) was his destiny. He says, "I realised that in this college I won't be able to do much. If at all I want to become an engineer let me fight it out a bit."
He then joined IIIT Bangalore. According to Ajay, his mindset changed at IIIT and he started thinking about getting into the best tech company in the world. However, Ajay's struggle with discipline continued and he kept missing classes. One night he even slept in the classroom because he feared that he won't be able to come back if he went home.
Ajay receiving the prize after winning a quiz at school
He scored more than 80 percent in the final exam. Ajay recalls,
The good thing was that the big companies from the US which were setting shop here were more interested in your logic and problem-solving skills than whether you have read the books or not. It doesn't matter when you come and go as long as you work.
Ajay joined Intel after graduation.

Intel–a perfect match and a mismatch
At Intel, Ajay worked on the much-hyped Whitefield chip, a next-gen Xeon processor for servers that drew its name from Bangalore's IT hotspot. It was an ambitious project and the majority of engineers in India were validation engineers (testing equivalent in the hardware world). Ajay's team was in the US which worked out in his favour as he liked working during the night. He says,
I felt that this (job) was a god-send for me. How else is it possible to find a company that works at night, offers you flexi timing, let's you work in cutting-edge technology and pays you well?
Ajay at Intel Office
Ajay was sent to the US for five to six months. It was an experience which he'll remember for life --it was exciting and culturally shocking at the same time. While in India, Ajay's expectations from Intel had risen very high because of the way Intel treated him and other employees. When he went to the US, he expected the similar treatment, which was at odds with the DIY philosophy there. He expected to be put in hotels whereas the arrangements had been made in service apartments without any amenities. It took him some time to get used to that lifestyle. But soon he met the worst accident of his life.
Thanks to the systems
Ajay learnt driving in the US and bought a car. One day, he decided to drive to to a restaurant. As he approached the restaurant parking, he accidentally pressed the accelerator instead of the break. He lost control due to sudden acceleration, and his car swerved towards the lobby, missing by a whisker the glass panels separating the restaurant from the parking, and scraping a few other vehicles in the process. It was a close miss as there were at least 20 people sitting across the glass panels.
The police arrived and checked if Ajay was drunk. He was in shock and but at the same time he was relieved to see that people whose vehicles he had damaged were not too perturbed. They all had car insurance. Ajay realised how structured things were in the US then. He made it a point to drive very carefully after that incident.
At Intel, Ajay worked on C, C++, Perl, MS SQL Server, Windows, Linux.

From a black and white world to a colorful world
After coming back to India Ajay got married. He joined Adobe, Noida, to be closer to his family. Incidentally, he didn't think very highly of Adobe and saw it as a compromise on his part (as compared to Intel). He soon realised that wasn't the case. He worked on the Illustrator and Photoshop product. He recalls,
While I worked on black and white screen at Intel, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator was colourful world. Adobe has a policy of writing developer's name in the software, which was also encouraging. My name appears in Photoshop.
Ajay developed features and effects for Illustrator. He worked on improving its performance to begin with (for CS2). With the help of delay loading, custom implementation and other techniques, he (along with his team) brought down the launch time from almost 1 min to 10 seconds. He developed isolation mode from scratch and worked on general filter performance. For this, Ajay dealt with C++ on Windows, Macintosh.
With the launch of iPhone, Ajay wanted to work on mobile technology. So, he went up to Photoshop head Shanmugam Natarajan and told him that he wanted to work on the Photoshop mobile app. It wasn't a priority at that time as the app was free. After a month, he started working on the app. The initial version of the Photoshop app (called Photoshop Mobile) was build from scratch by Ajay and one more person. Now it's called Photoshop Express and boasts of more than 50 million downloads. He used Java on Android Mobile for the development of the app.
By now, Ajay started realising that mobile was just a client, and the the real magic lay on the web where there's scalability. That's when he left Adobe to join Microsoft, Hyderabad.

Mobile to web app
Ajay joined the Dynamics CRM team of Microsoft. That was the first time he worked on web apps. Database, middle-ware, front end (HTML CSS), they were all new for him. Till now (2010), Microsoft was following a strategy that all their apps (including Dynamic CRM) will run only on Internet Explorer (IE). Ajay says,
It wasn't a great strategy at that time when other browsers were ahead of IE. So, Microsoft decided to make Dynamic CRM and other apps offer cross browser support. It was like changing the carpet as a decade of coding in it was specific to IE. Everything had to be reviewed and changed to make it compliant with the standards.
Ajay led that project.
Rocket Singh inside Microsoft Campus
At Microsoft, Ajay had some free time in his hand. The startup world was beginning to heat up then. He got an idea to start up. There was a group in Microsoft called Hyd Chat where almost 4,000 people used to share their plans to buy electronics like TV set, etc. and if there were more people interested in buying a product, then they negotiated the deals. Ajay recalls, "Flipkart and Snapdeal were not as popular then, so online marketplaces weren't offering products at the cheapest rates."
However Ajay wasn't sure if Microsoft would allow its employees to start up. When he came to know that the company allowed an employee to start up as long as it did not impacting his work and commitment, it was not very long that Offers4Groups.com came into existence.
Ajay wanted the discussions and negotiations which were happening on Hyd Chat to take place on Offers4Groups.com with the participation of people from across the country. It was different from Groupon as the grouping wasn't hidden on Offers4groups platform. Ajay started working on it during the nights.

In the beginning, Ajay only made groups and posted the deals. There were two more people working on this. They didn't tell anyone in the Hyd Chat group that Offers4Groups.com was a startup by them. They simply posted messages such as this in the group: 'Bought this LED TV from this cool website, got a good discount'. Ajay adds, "This was taken as validation as it was coming from an internal person. We also used to mention the pricing on Flipkart and Snapdeal against our own offering which used to be the best deal."

Poor man's CRM
Ajay bought a phone and a SIM where people could call (as he couldn't disclose his identity). He made his phone poor man's CRM by saving phone numbers of people with the product they wanted to buy (for example i20 Raghu). This way when they called he knew what they wanted. Ajay still has these contacts saved on his phone.
Ajay tried striking deals for houses and cars in the beginning but it didn't work out well; electronics did. He used to go to physical stores and negotiate deals with the shopkeepers. He was treated like any other salesperson, and had to wait for hours to get five minutes of time from these store-owners. He recalls,
When rubber hits the road, you come to realise that everything inside the large companies is an illusion. I think the culture in big companies is built in a way that makes you feel great about yourself or your work (which is an illusion).
Ajay thought his startup model was the best as he was making money by merely facilitating the deals. Then came 2012 when the funding era dawned in Indian e-commerce. Of the numerous startups which were impacted by funding, one was Offers4Groups.com. Ajay says, "Our model broke as we weren't offering the best deals anymore. Somewhere I know that our model will return and revive some day. The idea still holds water. Group buying will make sense again."
In the meanwhile, cross-browser CRM came to be built at Microsoft following which Ajay decided to go back to Delhi. During his stint at Micrososft, he worked on C#, ASP.NET, Javascript, HTML, CSS, and SQL Server on Windows Server.
Hyd Chat group never came to know about the people behind Offers4Groups.com.
It was a coincidence that Expedia wanted to start its engineering centre in Gurgaon then. Egencia (part of Expedia) CTO was in Seattle and he was looking for someone to help him start the centre. Ajay met him in Hyderabad and was asked to build the Egencia team in Gurgaon. He built the rail system (booking via Expedia) at Egencia for UK (called UK Rail) using Java, J2EE, Web Services, Spring MVC, Tapestry, Javascript, HTML, CSS. Even though he liked the work and building the team, he was keen to work in a startup.

(Re) Entry to the startup universe
Ajay met Amit Ranjan, Co-founder of SlideShare who was then looking for a technology leader for SlideShare. The experience of having worked in large companies helped Ajay at SlideShare.
He started by building the right culture in the company. He says,
This is something to be learnt from the big companies where thousands of people march in the same direction whereas in a startup, even 50 people find it difficult to work without clashes.
He created team principles for SlideShare which made sure that the company (debate, discuss and then) marched like an army, with its aggression and well-oiled execution.
The company started looking at execution (sprint/bugs/tasks) metrics on a daily basis. During his time at SlideShare, Ajay took care of company's distribution and conversion--the core engine of SlideShare. SlideShare's main traffic was from SEO, so the tech team's job was to make sure that SideShare figured at the top of all search results, and to improve that further. Ajay and his team worked on performance optimisation, virality loops and search engine optimisation. The work on the core engine ensured that the images and presentations were getting uploaded (and consumed) smoothly.
Ajay in discussion with the team at SlideShare
Ajay used to say after Linkedin's acquisition of SlideShare– "We're a pirate ship funded by the Navy."
Ajay's biggest learnings from the SlideShare journey were to be fearless, move fast, fail fast and fix fast. Pace is the key in a startup.
After Amit Ranjan left SlideShare, Ajay also decided to move on. He spoke to PepperTap, Grofers, Oyo and other startups. He says, "I felt that I knew the rules of the game, I could make things happen."

The Oyo story–from 50 to 3,000
Ajay recalls his meeting with Ritesh Agarwal, founder of Oyo, in a two-room office with leaking roofs and people cramped in there. It was a contrast for him coming as he did from LinkedIn. He liked the chaos. He says, "Even though Ritesh was 21-22 years old, talking to him felt like talking to a 40-50 year old person. He had that kind of maturity and was handling a high level of chaos."
Ajay found the Oyo model and Ritesh's vision very impressive. Ritesh wanted to offer standardisation to the customers opting for accommodation in the Rs 800-1,000 range. It was a massive problem to solve. Ajay adds,
It was like Uber of hotels as we were trying to improve the experience of stay/accommodation (similar to what Uber did to commute). It was better for both the service provider (driver and hotelier) and the user (customer), with an app for standardisation of experience. Uber owns the experience even though it doesn't own the car. People are keeping the car clean and behaving well because the technology is watching. Similarly, we wanted to own the experience in the hotels and accommodation segment.
Ajay joined Oyo in February 2015. He worked on the website and Oyo's first online booking took place in March 2015. On Ajay's birthday, 21st April, Oyo launched its app. The company eventually automated many things on the service provider side: they built the owner app, the call centre app, the property manger app and the cluster manager app. They worked on automation of reconciliation, marketing and finance. Everything was ready by June 2015. Ajay says, "Every player in the system now had technology in his/her hand and all the data was going to a centralised database. This helped a lot in decision making. We were well poised for growth."
July 2015 onward, Oyo grew exponentially, driven by technology and automation. At the beginning of 2015, Ritesh had given himself the target of reaching 300 hotels by the end of the year. The company ended 2015 with 5,000 hotels across 170 cities. Ajay witnessed the company growing from a 50-member team to 3,000-member strong.
Ajay with Oyo leadership team
Oyo's growth was fuelled a lot by funding. The company raised an undisclosed Series B funding in 2015 followed by a massive $200 million in 2016.
Learning from Oyo and SlideShare
Based on his learnings at Oyo and Slideshare, Ajay came up with a few ideas which he believed in and which had worked for him. He had written blogs on all of them:
Solver team--Hyper agile and well-oiled execution: As soon as a company reaches the magic number of 20 people, internal clashes increase and as the number grows further it slows down the company even more. It's like 4 wheels of car moving fast but in different directions. Agile methodologies just increase the frequency of issues and don't resolve them. That's why I came up with the solver team concept.
Seeding and growing technologies.
Minimum Viable Technology (MVT) - Move fast and keep shipping.
Ajay calls himself a tech general and even thought of giving designations to people at Oyo along the army lines. His management style is summed up as 'Discussion of a democracy and execution of a dictatorship'.
Ajay feels that technology is a tool like a language and it's the thought and logic behind it which are important.
Operations heavy to tech heavy–Knowlarity CTO
After Oyo, Ajay was looking for a company that sold technology. On meeting Ambarish, he felt Knowlarity was one such company.
By now, given his experience of having worked in companies ranging from small startups to big corporates, Ajay could tell which strategy would work at which stage.
Stability, scaling of platform and team execution were the main challenges at Knowlarity. He implemented the solver team first. Ajay says, "I believe in using people to their strengths. I realigned the tech team where some managers became individual contributors and vice-versa."
Introducing Bug Jail and more
Ajay assured the team that all the problems will be solved in three months. Nobody believed him. He asked everyone to share all the bugs/issues. He created the concept of bug jail. This required the entire tech team to stay in bug jail and prohibited any feature development until they made the bug count zero. In total, 1,500 bugs were filed and the team killed them all in a month. Ajay says,
I read a quote somewhere that the bitterness of bad quality remains long after the sweetness of lower costs. Similarly, in the tech development world, bitterness of poor quality remains far longer than the sweetness of faster delivery.
Soon, the tech team became the best performing unit at Knowlarity and Ambarish asked Ajay to share the best practices of his team with the other sections. He created some execution principles (on the lines of team principles at SlideShare).
Ajay with Bangalore based tech team of Knowlarity
Innovation @Knowlarity
Ajay and his team worked on the following innovation in the last three months at Knowlarity:
Automated speech recognition: This will help generate a report on what people (customers and customer care executives) have talked.
It gives information in the form of a word cloud where the size of the word is directly proportional to the frequency of its usage in conversations. The company is using automated speech recognition AI for this.
This also enables searchable voice where one can look for specific words among the customer call recordings. Ajay says, "We're converting voice to text in the backend and keeping it indexed for us. We have an abstraction engine that uses multiple AI engines. They can capture Indian accent and even local languages."
Text to speech (TTS): Personalised automated calls. It helps you make a personalised automated call (to an extent only human can reach/speak). The information can be picked up by databases based on customer behaviour/actions.
Voice based IVRs: The IVR experience is very inconvenient at the moment as the customers have to keep on removing the phone from their ears to see the screen and type their choice(s). It was fine for landline when the receiver and the box were separate. In voice-based IVRs, ASR converts your voice to text; it'll then run the query and then proceed. It also has the provision to route any complex query to the agent. It can reduce the need of agents (call centre executives) drastically.
Big data analytics: The company has also introduced real-time analytics which shows trends and analysis. It'll alert the company if the system numbers cross the threshold limit.
All the above features/tools will be live this month on Knowlarity.
On team building and beliefs
Ajay-Shrivastava
Ajay has built and grown teams at Egencia, SlideShare, Oyo and Knowlarity. Besides basic intellect and aptitude, he looks for people who are more resourceful and enterprising. He believes that such people are the ones who take the team to the next orbit. He says,
People often take tough interviews and hire smart engineers, and then ask them to not think. All of a sudden, you're not utilising the compute power of a large part of your workforce. I believe in utilising this compute power. In solver team, engineers are involved from the beginning. He/she gives thoughts on design, product, business stages.
According to Ajay, if everything that one is doing is important and urgent, then it means that one did not do it at the right time. He adds, "It's failure of leadership and management if your majority of the work is urgent and important."
Ajay works on a 80:20 rule ie pick that part of a task where 20 percent work will give you results for 80 percent of the task. Some of the principles he believes in are as follows:
Get shit done. It doesn't matter what efforts you have put in. It's either done or not done. You don't get an award to take the ball to the goalpost, but only when you hit the goal.
First make it work, then make it better.
In the team communication, prefer face-to-face interaction over calls over messages over mails.
He believes in this saying of Mozart: The shorter way to do many things is to do only one thing at a time.
Ajay believes that authenticity and result-oriented execution defines him. He says,
What I say is what I do is what I write/share.
Ajay with his wife and kids
Interestingly, Ajay has given some thought on becoming a politician. He says, "Sometimes I think of becoming a politician because the world needs more result-oriented and no-bullshit politicians."
But there's time for that. For now, he's busy building Knowlarity.
You can follow him on Twitter or connect with him on LinkedIn.
Fun fact - Ajay deployed Knowlarity at Oyo and rejected the product out because of poor technology.

Our Lore
Tiny Leaders
Into The Opinions
Heroic Intervention
Captain EDH
Lutri, Making Waves
By now many of you have seen the news of Lutri, The Spellchaser from the new Magic The Gathering set Ikoria: Lair Of Behemoths, and the news that he was instantly banned in commander. For the first time in Magic's history a card was banned before release. The reason makes absolute sense.
Wizards new mechanic is called Companion. To loosely quote Wizards Of The Coast "You can have up to one chosen companion for each game. That chosen Companion doesn't start in your main deck. Rather, it's a card in your sideboard." They go on to explain that "Casting your chosen companion brings it onto the game for good. The spell will go on the stack. If it resolves, it will enter the battlefield under your control (yay!). If it's countered, it will go to your graveyard (boo!). Once it's in the game, it can be exiled, go back to your hand, be shuffled into your library, etc." These Companions have a unique take on deck building, only functioning if your deck building meets a certain requirement. This was Wizards Of The Coast's attempt to bring some of the Commander flair and popularity to other formats such as standard. The issue with Lutri, The Spellchaser seems glaringly obvious from the start, his deck requirements are that you have all singleton cards in your starting deck. This makes him an otter-matic *automatic* inclusion in any deck that can run those colors in commander as there is no downside to playing it. You aren't sacrificing a spell slot for it, you get considerably more consistency in your decks by having it available at all times and of course have a copy ability available at all times. There are many arguments being circulated that Sol ring is an automatic inclusion so why should Lutri be targeted for it? I do not think anyone would have an issue with him being played inside the 99 or as a Commander. When you allow the Companion mechanic however he goes from an average cute otter to one of the greatest Izzet Commander cards ever printed. Flash on a creature that doesn't count towards deck limit, costs only 3 to copy a spell, act as a blocker with a 3/2 body and doesn't require any special deck building constraints. Simply put, running Lutri has no downside whatsoever. I personally think Lutri is the sign of an unseen rift. One of the issues at hand is the Companion mechanic overall. Let's address the issue of Companion first.
Many of us would love to be able to play cards such as Burning Wish, to slot in that Gaea's Blessing when someone pulls out their mill deck and I personally run many decks that use Masterminds Acquisition in place of a cheap tutor. Commander doesn't allow a sideboard currently. There is no ability to deck edit in between play at this time, you play what you play and your deck is built how it is built. Companion is a sideboard-esque card and therefore should simply not function in Commander. The rule is so much easier to just say the Companion mechanic does not work. I believe its extremely interesting and it makes you build your deck a certain way. No doubt that it is neat. The issue is that all of us already build our deck a certain way. We look at what is format legal, balance the risk and reward of running more or less lands, follow color restrictions, ignore split cards if they have one symbol we can't use and are sadly barred from using hybrid mana symbol cards unless both are in our deck. We are all prisoners to a Commanders color identity in decks. We all build decks specifically already. My CEDH Gitrog deck is built very specifically around getting Dakmoor Salvage. I built the entire deck to fetch and function on that combo. Giving the deck the ability to start with it or any other combo piece is insane. Putting that card in a side zone that exists for no other card and that my opponents can't interact with is obviously broken. Many of us build decks specifically around having to work out how to get our cards into play. How to dig to the card that you need in for the situation, while simultaneously protecting yourself long enough to play it is our great challenge. All of these are already deck building requirements. Adding a secondary version of it that brings flawless consistency to games and makes them too repetitive is unwanted. That is not what most players like. It is arguably the biggest difference between a casual and competitive deck. In both shooting and archery consistency is a great metric of ability and Commander deck building is no different. If your deck can reliably do what you want it to do, then you simply have to change where you're aiming for fine tuning to reliably produce exact results. Many arguments have been presented that Flash was a more worthy candidate for an emergency ban, but Lutri makes sense knowing that he was giving a disproportionate advantage to individual players if they just chose certain colors.
The second issue is that there is clearly a rift between two factions at the moment. Wizards Of The Coast's design team is not the Rules Committee and vice versa. The Rules Committee is the respected authority on deck building but it is Wizards themselves who sanction events and put out products. When mechanics like this emerge, there is always going to be the potential question "who do you listen to?" Commander is currently a casual format and the ban list for most people is a suggestion. I personally *spoiler alert* am going to run a Lutri in a deck because I am excited for the card. It, on its face, is not broken as either a Commander or in the 99. If anyone I play with has an issue then I'll politely take it out, apologize for the misunderstanding and play something different. The Commander Advisory Group's decision to ban the card, even with the great art and with such a nice showcase extended art version of the card, makes sense. It's the right play, to at least allow the test of the Companion mechanic. It could even be seen as righteous. Two colors should not get such an overwhelming advantage. However, this ban absolutely wrecks some player excitement. Cracking packs and seeing one of these cards now just becomes a bust rare that is unusable if you listen to the rules committee. It tanks the cards value before it has even been held by players. These premium border-less cards are in demand for basically Commander only. It cripples potential income from the artist on this work and from playmat sales. People are far less likely to buy beautiful prints of a card they never get to see and play. There is no connection to it there, it's just nice art. *A link to the artist's work can be found here* -https://www.artstation.com/liesetiawan
Simply put, boxes lose value due to these cards being in them and banned in the format that would actually run them. Wizards loses money with less boxes requested, local game stores lose money, collectors lose money on an unplayable card and players everywhere feel bad getting one. These problems pale in comparison to the deeper one that most aren't anticipating.
The final and biggest issue is that Lutri, The Spellchaser, heralds the end of what we have and exposes one of the largest issues facing our format. The Rules Committee isn't Wizards. Wizards isn't the Rules Committee. Wizards is a business whose incentive is to get us to spend money. They have realized that Commander players are their proverbial "cash cows" and they are not going to stop printing cards that have exceptional power levels. The Commander Rules Commitee and Commander Advisory Group is going to continue to push the format to the play style that suits them. CEDH is a perfect example of how they do not listen to the player base and do not care about ways to play outside of their vision of the game. Flash-Hulk has been left to dominate the format because it isn't an issue for good old friendly tabletop EDH. These groups are at odds with each other, make no mistake about it. Both want different things with Wizards wanting Brawl to become its new standard flagship. The premium cards and foils targeted at Commander and even the Companion cards are a warning Wizards is not going to leave this format alone. They have no reason to. It is wildly popular. Its players spend tons on cards, especially foils of hard to get cards for that extra in deck bling. EDH is a fan created format, managed by those creators, but it can't survive that way. The balance of the game is precarious. Which side will end up winning? One has the power to print any format breaking card they want and still allow them at their events, which is the only real place and official way to play. They publish official ban lists that WPN stores offering tournaments or Commander events will follow. The Commander Rules Committee has the current loyalty of its players. Its decisions are often respected and even when they aren't, its a casual format that relies on a social contract. You basically can play, for the most part, whatever your friends let you. I believe that Lutri signals the beginning of the end of this delicate balance. There will be more of an outcry to ban cards that are simply not liked, a demand to reintroduce sideboards and wish mechanics, a demand to allow cards on the ban list to re-enter the format legally and also for cards to be taken out of the format. Banning cards is often not good. It should only be done rarely in situations that cause an unfair advantage or wreck the game. Lutri very obviously provides this advantage. So much so, it was instantly banned in two formats, Commander and Brawl. This was a show of force by the Rules Committee flexing their authority of what they will not allow. I think it was the right move but it opens the bigger question of "where does that authority stop?" If they start removing things such as Sol Ring from the format as Mark Rosewater mused about, will people respect it? Wizards has the incentive to ban it for sure, especially with the new Arcane Signet. The "Sorry it's banned but don't worry! We are including signets in the new packs coming up to try make them more accessible to people. This means you can replace all of the Sol Rings!" announcement will surely happen one day. Many people in the Commander Advisory Group have a large dislike of fast mana. At a certain point, will players as a whole continue to respect the ban list presented by the group or will Wizards seize control of the most popular format? Will they continue to print whatever they want to drive sales and the constant consumption of new sets by players to satisfy our ever burning addiction to create more and more decks? Will this new ban hammer system enforced by one faction and not the other become the norm?
I personally will play Lutri as a Commander and use him in my decks. I personally will be excited about the card. I will, personally at least, be unhappy about people attempting to play a 101st card from outside the game. I don't make the games rules, but I do make decks and Lutri will be in them until my playgroup hates him and asks me to stop. His companion mechanic aside, he's a neat card and an adorable legend. I wonder will he be played or will Lutri drown in obscurity ? Either way I think this little otter has made big waves.

The Enze Outsiders Party Feat. SGBG Atelier + Issey Miyake x UN
This January, we brought together out-of-the-box thinkers and emerging voices in the sustainable fashion movement for the Enze Abbot Kinney "Outsiders Party." Guests had the opportunity to meet Surya Giri, the designer behind SGBG Atelier, a handmade, handwoven, hand embroidered collection celebrating Indian artisan heritage, while being rocked with a live performance by electronic artist and fourth wave feminist activist Madame Gandhi. A limited edition Issey Miyake x United Nude architectural shoe collection was also on display, along with several art installations throughout the Enze space created by local and international artists.
We also unveiled an exclusive SGBG x Enze poplin wrap dress collaboration featuring intricate text embroidery which refers to cross-cultural contact, the exchanges of people, ideas, and practices, and hybridized identities as "interrupters" to the unchallenged voice of industrial dominance, which was effectively the inspiration for the "Outsider Party" title, and key tenets of the SGBG brand that also tie into the mission of Enze Apparel. A portion of the text embroidery on the collaborative piece reads as follows-
"The reversal of cannibalization of mainstream pop by the underground is a clear example of the takeover of the periphery: "It is no longer the center that includes the periphery. The periphery now includes the center. The center, excluded from the party, becomes the periphery of the periphery." Opinion formation never occurs at the center. It's always at the edges. For the underground, 'pop' becomes a semiotic goldmine to be "appropriated and reworked into new synthetic or creolized cultural forms."
If you weren't able to join us for the party, check out this little video to get a sense of how the party went down! And join us at our Abbot Kinney flagship to view the exclusive SGBG x Enze collab piece while they're still here!

Home Sports Are the Blue Jays Canada's team?
Are the Blue Jays Canada's team?
Since the Montreal Expos moved their franchise to Washington and were rebranded as the Nationals in 2004, the Toronto Blue Jays have carried the flag for Canada in the MLB. The revenue and the fanbase were not present for the league to justify keeping the Expos in Montreal, prompting their switch to Washington.
Toronto was added to the MLB in 1977 and was competitive in the American League East Division, amid fierce competition from the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. The Blue Jays made their first surge towards the World Series in 1992, and won the title with a triumph over the Atlanta Braves. They followed up that success by winning their second crown on the bounce with a triumph over the Philadelphia Phillies.
It certainly put baseball on the map in Canada – putting hockey on the back burner as the national sport of the country – at least for a short period. The franchise has not won the World Series since but has remained a team capable of punching above their weight, despite being in a division alongside two teams with the biggest payrolls in the league.
Toronto reached the Wildcard Series of the playoffs in 2020, but were beaten with ease by the Tampa Bay Rays. However, expect them to return in 2021, being backed in the odds on MLB baseball +3500 to win the World Series. There will be no shortage of support for the franchise in Canada as the Blue Jays have taken on the mantle of becoming the nation's team.
The feeling of the underdog can inspire any sports fan, and The Blue Jays are certainly the underdog in their division. The Yankees and the Red Sox are the two most notorious franchises in the history of the MLB. Their battles have on the field have captured the imagination of spectators in the United States for over 100 years. So, when an upstart from over the border arrives in the MLB and wins the World Series within 15 years of their inception, it's no wonder that the triumph sparked scenes of joy from thousands of fans.
Those World Series wins were crucial in establishing the Blues Jays franchise. Rooting for the underdog can be a grueling experience, but proving that David can beat Goliath provides a lifetime of intrigue that future success can be just around the corner. It's why thousands of fans from Western Canada – 2,000 miles away from Toronto – descended on Seattle to watch the Blue Jays take on the Seattle Mariners.
Geography would insinuate that baseball fans from Vancouver should root for the Mariners given their close proximity to Seattle rather than Toronto. However, the Blue Jays have cultivated a national identity that supporters from their home city as well as the entire country can rally behind.
It's not only baseball that has embodied this feeling. The Toronto Raptors' triumph in the 2019 NBA Finals also proved that the franchise could be named the Canada Raptors for the scenes of celebration they caused by beating the Golden State Warriors. The two teams have managed to drive a national following out of their success. The Blue Jays were certainly the trendsetters in that regard and have earned their place in the hearts of Canadians, and will continue to do so. Don't expect them to flame out like the Expos.

The Price of Tea In China
"Boldy James"
Boldy James' The Price of Tea In China is a street dark Alchemist experience
#BoldyJames#HipHop#TheAlchemist#ThePriceofTeaInChina#TraditionalHipHop
Boldy James
Detroit rapper Boldy James has released a new album alongside heavyweight producer The Alchemist called The Price of Tea In China on February 7th, 2019 under ALC Records and EMPIRE Distributions. This is not the first that both Boldy James and Alchemist worked together on a project. They've worked together on Boldy James' first album called My 1st Chemistry Set back in 2013, where I thought James sounded like Prodigy from Mobb Deep but on his new album, he doesn't. The Price of Tea In China features Vince Staples, Benny The Butcher, Freddie Gibbs, and Evidence.
Dirty Dark Detroit
Scrape the Bowl (feat. BENNY THE BUTCHER)
The album starts with the song "Carruth" where Boldy James raps a story about his friends being murdered or incarcerated and the struggle in the streets of Detroit. The song has a laid back instrumental with a nice use of a sample throughout the whole song. "Giant Slide" feels like a street rap mafioso type of beat where Boldy raps about handling his businesses in the streets on this Alchemist beat. The following track is "Surf & Turf" featuring Vince Staples and the song shows how Boldy is a real hard hustler in the streets and I love how he tells his story on this song. He raps how he's been doing a lot in the streets of Detroit since being young and that his son has big shoes to fill if he wants to work hard like his father. Vince Staples also delivered a nice verse. Then there's a nice transition of beats between "Surf & Turf" and the following song "Run-Ins" which also has a nice use of a sample throughout the whole song. The end of the song finishes with two men ditching a corpse in a river, which gives the album a dark vibe. "Scrape the Bowl" is a Detroit and Buffalo collaboration between Boldy James featuring Benny The Butcher. This was a nice back and forth track between the two emcees, the instrumental was indeed dark but that's the type of vibe the album is giving so far. Some of the punchlines from the rappers were good like this bar from Benny The Butcher's verse "Two Os in the V like that Canada squad", which is a reference to Drake's OVO. The following song is called "Pinto" where Boldy James raps another story about his street life and dealing in the streets on this mafioso street rap beat.
Codes of The Streets... This ain't for the weak
Speed Demon Freestyle
At the half of the album, we have the song "Slow Roll" followed by the song "S.N.O.R.T". The song is featuring Freddie Gibbs with a dope instrumental from Alchemist and both rappers slew this beat with their rapping abilities. Then we have the song "Grey October" featuring Evidence and this song has toned down the vibe of the album with a slow instrumental where both rappers went deep into their lyrics. The song finishes with an outro sample dialogue. The song is followed by "Mustard" where Boldy James raps a one-verse song and it ends with another dialogue from a mafioso movie I would assume and it continues until the beginning of the next track called "Speed Demon Freestyle". The album finishes with the story-telling song "Phone Bill" which I think had one the best instrumental and sample of the whole album.

Monumentalism
Abandoned Schools in the Mountains of Bulgaria
Bulgaria's villages are rapidly depopulating. It began under the communist party, as they relocated citizens to the cities in order to provide the workforce for newly built factory sites. In the decades since the regime changed, the process has continued. Nowadays, there are many settlements dotted around the country that stand mostly empty – houses, petrol stations, schools and town halls shuttered up, now surplus to requirement.
In one particular village I visited last year, both the local school and nearby kindergarten had suffered such a fate. There were no longer enough families in the neighbourhood to justify the cost of running these institutions. These days the children travel by bus to a larger town nearby; the old schools, meanwhile, have been closed, forgotten, and abandoned to the slow fate of invisible decay.
The entrance to this village kindergarten was locked and barred – but a friend of mine, a local, drew my attention to an open first floor window. Getting up there was still a bit of a struggle. The window was rusted, wedged in place, so that I had to climb a drainpipe then rotate, squeezing myself sideways through the narrow opening. Eventually I made it, and fell onto my face in a small kitchen area.
I must have spent an hour or so, exploring the kindergarten. Thanks to the locked doors, the place had been untouched by vandals or the elements. Instead, children's toys, dolls and teaching aids had been left exactly in place.
There were books of nursery rhymes, and laminated wall panels that taught children how to brush their teeth correctly. One dusty room was dominated by a bulky cathode ray television, its screen thick with dust.
The kindergarten was spread across two floors, and beyond that a set of steps led up into the attic. Up there, thin slivers of light spilled in through gaps between the roofing tiles. There was a child's tricycle left rusting on the rafters; a series of posters and wall hangings featuring illustrated nursery rhymes; and nearby, a severed doll's head that lay unblinking amongst the dust and rags.
The High School
In the same village, the secondary school for children 11-years-and-up stood similarly abandoned. This place though, had been left entirely open to the elements.
We walked through classrooms, saw blackboards still marked up in chalky algebra. Desks had been left, arranged in their tidy rows ready for a lesson. Although, the illusion was slightly spoiled for me: my local guides told me how they'd brought other photographers here in the past… and how one of them spent a good few hours searching the building for props, arranging them into life-like scenes in order to create that perfect 'ghost town' vibe for her photos.
Nevertheless, the building itself spoke volumes. The stone water fountain at the foot of the stairs. The pictures of Bulgarian revolutionary heroes pinned up high on walls. The archaic, pump-operated fire extinguisher that propped open one of the first floor doors.
I crawled into the attic here as well, to find a cluster of old teaching aids and surplus classroom furniture. In the basement, meanwhile, I found an abacus trailing cobwebs, disused for who knew how long.
The most moving sight was to be found in one of the school rooms though, a box of projector slides that had fallen apart to spread its contents across the floor. I held one up to the light; it was an incredibly detailed anatomical image of a plant. The next – a man's portrait. The next – maps of the Bulgarian landscape. These slides represented a vast amount of knowledge and information, rendered in extraordinary detail but now abandoned to the mould. They lay scattered here and there as though they'd been picked up, played with, moved around… but ultimately, left behind for dead.
The Exclusion Zone.
The Bohemian Blog is bigger than it looks. In fact, there's a whole restricted area hidden away behind the public pages… a space where patrons of the site can access exclusive content, book previews and private image galleries.

Abstract: We investigate the motion of the point of contact (absolute dynamics) in the integrable problem of the Chaplygin ball rolling on a plane. Although the velocity of the point of contact is a given vector function of variables of the reduced system, it is impossible to apply standard methods of the theory of integrable Hamiltonian systems due to the absence of an appropriate conformally Hamiltonian representation for an unreduced system. For a complete analysis we apply the standard analytical approach, due to Bohl and Weyl, and develop topological methods of investigation. In this way we obtain conditions for boundedness and unboundedness of the trajectories of the contact point.

Edinburgh students' creative response to Polar expedition maps
General map showing the explorations and surveys of the Shackleton expedition, 1907-9
There's an interesting exhibition of illustrated maps in the foyer of the National Library of Scotland that runs from 9th - 19th February. They've been created by first year Illustration students at the nearby Edinburgh College of Art in response to a visit to the Polar map collection at the National Library, where they saw material related to Sir Ernest Shackleton's 1914 expedition to cross Antarctica vis the South Pole.

They were asked to respond by creating an illustrated map of the journey he made. Students drew as many ideas as they could from the maps in the library's collection, looking at the colour, lettering, borders, and the textures used to mark the cold terrain. They were also invited to create an artefact that illustrated an element of the narrative. The resulting work included poignant accounts of the harsh experience, a 'scratch and sniff' scented map and a board game design.
You can find out more about the project in this short video.
How would you respond to such a brief? If you'd like to make work inspired by maps, we have examples in our collection of London Underground posters.
