Most of us see the world as a mess of Problems. There’s Global Warming, or more politically correct, Global Climate Change, or more technically correct, Comprehensive Climate Chaos. And besides, that last one is alliterative – each word starts with the same letter. There’s overpopulation. There’s increasing homelessness (houselessness) and poverty. There’s disparity, job loss, and permanent unemployment. The ocean’s becoming a garbage dump, the Great Barrier Reef is dying, and the seas are overfished. There are wars. The political parties are at each other’s throats. And there are too many guns in the hands of dangerous criminals. I could keep going. However, you are probably already suffering from mild depression having just read the above. And I’m now a basket case. Yes, the world is full of Problems. Notwithstanding, the world is also full of Solutions. It’s hard to find Solutions in the news. The media focuses on Problems. For some reason they think that will drive readership / viewership up. So you really have to search for any good news. And Solutions are even harder to spot. In spite of that, good things are happening in the world. Enough Electric Vehicles are being sold in the US that in 2019, incentives for buying a Tesla started to be phased out. Renewable Energy is on the rise. Even though the world population continues to rise, several countries are seeing population decline. Miracles are being discovered to help restore the Great Barrier Reef and to extract plastic from the ocean. Solutions are even being unearthed which can prevent Comprehensive Climate Chaos. Feeling a little better? Great! It’s daybreak. It’s time for us to start seeing a world of Solutions Galore. It’s time to jump onto the Solutions Bandwagon. For every Problem, there are a myriad of Solutions. Quite often, you only need to discover one. The purpose of Solutions Galore is to present methods to Solve Problems. There are Solutions in this book, mostly by way of example. But that is not the main purpose of this book. The purpose is to help you more easily Create Solutions to any Problem.

In the second story in this series, Dancer, a Chief, a Shaman, a God who is a horse, and Dancer’s other close friends must heal the holes that have developed between the worlds. These holes have developed because Dancer and her friends opened them by using their magic. Of course, their magic alone wasn’t enough to open these holes. Their magic had acted on their desires, their desires for things to be different. Once the holes were opened, Dancer and her friends continued to use them, which made the holes larger. But now people are falling through who have no magic to fall back through the other way. People are falling through unintentionally. And somehow that had to stop. This story is told from Jamil, the Artist’s, perspective. So, I thought it appropriate to include a short story about another artist at the end. It’s titled, The Artist. Creative, I know. This artist has always wanted to be an artist, but has to give up his dream because he can’t make enough money at it and because it’s not an accepted profession. Eventually, he does become an artist. However, there’s one thing he cannot paint – a sunset. And he won’t be able to paint a sunset until he understands the beauty behind a sunset.

Designing Your Website to Use Less Energy explores simple changes you can make to your website that will cause it to use less energy. We don't often think about the amount of power being used to surf the Internet, but it's quite a lot. If all websites were designed to use less energy, we could save a lot of energy. One of the most important considerations when designing a website to use less energy is to make it load quickly. Part of that depends on where your website sits - your web host. Part of that depends on your images. Part depends on ads. Part depends on how simply your website is coded. In fact, Google will downgrade your web page in its search algorithm if your web page doesn't load quickly. Designing Your Website to Use Less Energy covers choosing a web host, performance, plug-ins and services, making your own plug-in, energy-saving colors, and printing. Performance covers lessening the impact of images, Javascript, CSS, photo frameworks, and database queries, plus other tricks you can use to make your page load faster. If you're a big corporation, there are tools from Google, Facebook, and Twitter you can use. If you're not a large corporation and don't have a lot of time, this audiobook will help you get your website loading faster and will help you save energy. The more users you have who browse your website, the more energy you'll save. Listening ease: medium. Listening level: eighth grade. Maturity: general audience.

Ask questions not on the agenda Explore ideas wherever they lead Pursue goals because they're important Create options not yet perceived According to premier researcher Don Braben, these are the vital intellectual processes that underlie all human achievement, the kinds of risk-taking activities that have made our civilization what it is today. Yet, warns Braben, the same pioneer spirit that fueled our meteoric industrial and scientific growth is now being undermined by a growing climate of corporate caution and conformity. In this groundbreaking manifesto on the importance of scientific freedom, Braben asserts that the greatest long-term risks facing humanity will not come from weapons of mass destruction, prolonged global war, devastating disease or famine, or even from extinction by a huge wayward meteor. Rather they will come from the debilitating attrition caused by the rising tides of bureaucracy and control that are steadily strangling human ingenuity and undermining our future. Addressing this serious and growing problem, Pioneering Research: A Risk Worth Taking explains the urgent need to maintain both the originality and freedom of expression that is so vital to our economic growth and scientific development. Citing global trends and attitudes that currently threaten these conditions, Braben details some bold new initiatives that may offer a possible solution. A compelling read for today's scientists, policy makers, and concerned laypeople, Braben's book will change our understanding of the politics of scientific achievement and expose the threat to our future from bureaucracy, paper trails, political correctness, lowest common denominator solutions, and accountability-the invisible chains that bind the imagination and damage our society irreparably.

June 4, 2024 brought about what can safely be described as a tectonic shift of sorts in Odisha politics. Naveen Patnaik, who governed the state as Chief Minister since 2000, saw his party – the Biju Janata Dal – lose its grip on power after 24 long years. His legacy, however, is set to endure, much like that of his father, the late Biju Patnaik. Our Cover Story tries to summarize the phenomenon that is Naveen Babu, as he is fondly addressed by many. Music is the universal language of mankind, famous American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote way back in 1835. This holds true even today, decades of evolution and experimentation notwithstanding. June 21 will be observed as World Music Day. In City Lights, we bring you a special feature on the music of Odisha, tracing its journey over the last few decades and how it is changing, thanks to the transformative effect of technology as well as social media. With the summer sun blazing down, it is extremely important to take steps to keep your skin safe. From cleansers to moisturizers, there are solutions galore these days, but it is a good idea to figure out what works best for you. Head to the City Fashion section to find out more. With climate change and environmental sustainability becoming the buzzword, there is a need to take a closer look at some concerns which generally tend to go unnoticed. Among these are diapers and sanitary pads – they take several years to decompose once they end up in landfills. Encouraging the use of eco-friendly material may be a way out to deal with this challenge. Read all about it in City Green. While on the subject of a greener tomorrow, we also look at how cycling promotes the well-being not just of an individual but also the planet as a whole. City Health brings you some interesting insights on this. The CBSE Class 10 and 12 results were announced recently. In Campus Buzz, we catch up with some of the toppers from the twin cities of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack; they share their secret recipe for success.
