DAY 2937
Jalsa, Mumbai Apr 15/16, 2016 Fri/Sat 12:34 am
Life is that excitement when a drawer, withdrawn and neglected for years, gets your attention and it opens almost impulsively .. impulsively because you had not meant to open it but you did .. curiosity, time lapse, non visited location in the home .. several thoughts and reasons dribble their way through the mind ! But what really remains is the flash of time that goes by, the reasons for the letter or the paper, the comments on it, mostly the comments .. those inspirational words, those inspiring words, of behaviour and deeds and circumstances that run past your limited vision now since, time to be devoted to them has no time at all ..
Its like :
“ Nothing in the world can take the place of PERSISTENCE ; TALENT will not, nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent ; GENIUS will not, unrewarded genius is almost a proverb ; EDUCATION alone will not ; the world is full of educated derelicts
PERSISTENCE AND DETERMINATION alone are omnipotent !!”
an important quote from a learned source … and this, from a prominent stage actor in the West :
“I’m not so embarrassed when I’m talking as when I read what I have said. I hope what I do as an actor is interesting but I do find it difficult to talk about it.”
Hmmm … sounds familiar .. hehah .. and this :
“Our business is a very monastic life and you have to find happiness within its framework.”
and this :
“ It takes courage to analyze your body as it goes downhill.”
and finally this :
“Jean Françios Revel , said ‘la CONNAISSANCE INUTILE’
What we need to be aware of is the fear today of ‘perversion of words’ and ‘approximative information’ …”
All noted and read and written by me in my hand in ink and diary in the period of mid 80′s ..
My love as ever ..

OMG! Ice is Melting from Below
Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) scientists are heading into the field this week to better understand how seawater is melting Greenland’s ice from below. (Yes, those black specks are people next to an iceberg.) While NASA is studying ocean properties (things like temperature, salinity and currents), other researchers are eager to incorporate our data into their work. In fact, University of Washington scientists are using OMG data to study narwhals – smallish whales with long tusks – otherwise known as the “unicorns of the sea.”
Our researchers are also in the field right now studying how Alaska’s ice is changing. Operation IceBridge, our longest airborne campaign, is using science instruments on airplanes to study and measure the ice below.
What happens in the Arctic doesn’t stay in the Arctic (or the Antarctic, really). In a warming world, the greatest changes are seen in the coldest places. Earth’s cryosphere – its ice sheets, sea ice, glaciers, permafrost and snow cover – acts as our planet’s thermostat and deep freeze, regulating temperatures and storing most of our freshwater. Next month, we’re launching ICESat-2, our latest satellite to study Earth’s ice!

What Will Come of Pokémon Go?
Instead of taking big screens across the country by storm, this summer’s blockbuster has people glued to much smaller ones.
Launched at the beginning of July by San Francisco-based software development company Niantic, Inc., Pokémon Go has quickly become one of the most popular smartphone apps of all time. Data analytics firm Similar Web reported that in its first week alone, the app had been installed on nearly 11 percent of all android phones in the United States, and surpassed Twitter’s daily usage shortly thereafter.
Beyond being a viral sensation, the app’s success has striking implications for a number of industries. Willy Shih is the Robert and Jane Cizik Professor of Management Practice in Business Administration at Harvard Business School and spent 28 years in industry at IBM, Digital Equipment, Silicon Graphics, Eastman Kodak, and Thomson SA prior to coming to HBS in 2007. A member of the School’s Technology and Operations Management unit, Professor Shih closely studies disruptive technology and technological strategy, and took time to analyze the Pokémon Go phenomenon below.
What does Pokémon Go’s success mean for augmented reality going forward? Is AR the next big thing?
Willy Shih: Microsoft Windows users in the late 80s and early 90s might remember that Microsoft came up with a Solitaire game as a way of introducing people to how to use a mouse. I think Pokémon Go is going to have the same effect, albeit unintended, of educating people about augmented reality. It’s a very clever introduction to the technology and beautifully illustrates the merging of the cyber and the physical. We’ve seen other things work similarly before—Google Glass, and heads-up displays in aircraft and high-end cars—but those only caught on in limited ways. Where they superimposed information on top of what you were already seeing, Pokémon Go superimposes geospacial information in an integrated way, allowing the game creators to put these monsters in exact locations and in physical spots of significance. That’s really quite different.
If you were in charge, how would you monetize Pokémon Go?
WS: With so many people looking for spots to collect these things, the platform’s ability to pull traffic to particular locations is innovative and completely unique, and represents a huge financial opportunity. It was just announced, for example, that McDonald’s is going to sponsor the game’s rollout in Japan. I imagine it could fundamentally change the face of things like sponsorship and mobile advertising. We haven’t begun to see the most outrageous applications of this yet.
