RECORD

A

or

Swiss investors and

German

engineers

have created the world's

largest solar.powered boat:

the MS

Turanor PlanetSolar.

The ship uses energy from

more than

500

square

met

res

of

solar panels

to

drive two.

60kW

electric

engines.

Just to p rove

it

could work.

the

group sa iled the ship

around the wo rld. On its

60

,

oookm

journey, the boat

averaged just

five

knots an

hour.

Th

e

five·

man crew had

to sail around the equator

so they could maximise

expos

ur

e to the su n. As a

result, it took them

585

days

to

complete - slightly longer

than the 45·day record

Skipper Gerard d'Aboville

said, "

You

to

use a

WHYTH HEDGEHOG

IS THE UK S NEW

NATIONAL SYMBOL

D

oes your country have a national species? In

early

2013. BBC Wildlife

magazine held a

po

ll to

ask re

ade

rs to select a symbol for

the UK

. There

were

10

species to choose from, including the badger,

the red squirre

l,

the otter and the robin . And the winner,

with over 3,849

votes (about

40% of

the

total) , was

the hedgehog

The hedgehog is a small mammal with qu ills on its

body. It weighs between 250 and 550 grams, eats

mostly insects, and curls

up

into a little ball when it

feels threatened . It 's a nocturnal animal that ca n be

found in parts of Europe, Asia, Africa and New Zealand

(by

introduction). There are

no

hedgehogs native to

Australia o r

the

Americas.

The name "h

edgehog

" came into use around the

year 1450. It comes from the Middle English "hegge"

(meaning "

hedg

e"), and hogge (which means "hog") .

Sadly, hedgehog nu mbers are declining - they've

almost

halved in Britain over the past 20 years to less than a

million.

Some

people were di s

appointed

that there

were

so

few insects on the lis t. But Be n Hoa re, features editor

of BBC Wildlife, welcomed the hedgehog's victory. He

said, "All the other insects

re

very important, but I'm

not sure they make a good national symbol. Fu r and

feat hers tend to win over creepy<rawlies."

The hedgehog has long been popula r in the UK. It 's

generally seen as a hard·working, fr

ie

nd ly ani mal. And

one

of

the characters from Beatrix Potter's books is a

hedgehog called Mrs Tiggy,Winkle. I

t's

also popular

with gardeners

as

it eats

garden

pests such as s lugs

and s nails. of cou r

se

we

consider

them to be friendly

because

we

see them

in

our

gardens," said B

en

Hoare.

"And

seeing

all those

hedgehogs

squashed on

the

roads

probably makes us even fonder of

them.

Do you think they've made

the

right choice? 0

it with the Finns and their

saunas?

S

aunas

are central to Finnish

life. According to recent

statistics . most Finns have a

sauna

at least once a week,

I

they visit thei r

Sa unas can be found all over

Finland: in offices, factories .

can' t wear any clothes

swimsuits in the sauna-

have to go naked. Men

separately, unless they're

me mbers

of

he same family.

Parents go wi th thei r children.

Saunas have existed for

hund ,i, olfye'''' In

th,

~ ; ; ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ holes in

put heated

stones

in

them. When water

thrown on the hot

stones, they gave off a vapour

known as "

lOy

ly". It's said

each sauna has its own

characte ris tic "Ioyly" - the

better the "Ioyly", the more

enjoyable the sauna.

Accord ing to the Oxford

En

glish Dict ionary. the

wo

rd

"sauna" first appeared in

English in

1881 in

a book

by travel writer Paul Belloni

Du Chaillu called

The

Lond

afthe Midnight Sun. He

wrote, "One of the most

characte rist ic institutions of

the country is the sa una."

There are several types of

sauna. Smoke saunas a re

found mostly in rural areas.

They're heated with burn in g

wood . Once the r

oom

is hot

enough, the fire is allowed to

die and the room is ventilated

by

letting the smoke out

through a hole

in

the ceiling.

However. the most common

type is

th

e elect ric sauna.

With these. you simply turn

on an electric stove an hour

before you want to go in .

This is seen as the safest and

eas iest way to heat the room.

So, why are saunas so

popular in Fin land? Many

claim that they're important

for you r wellbeing. A Finnish

proverb says, "If a sick person

is not cured by tar , spirits

or sauna, then they' ll die."

Having a sauna is also seen

as a good

way

to relive st r

ess

and tension.

If you ever visit Finland,

don't

rorget to have a nice. relaxing

sauna. It's all part of the

experience 0

A

ccording to

the Yeti (also

known as the ~ b o m n a b l e

S n o w m a n is a creature

that's half-man, half-ape. It's

around 2

.5

metres tall , it's

covered with long, brown

hair that hangs over

and

it live

s in the Himalayas_

Over the years, the re have

been several sightings of Yetis.

- In 1925, Greek

photographer and geologist

N.A. Tombazi wa s on an

expedition in the Himalayas

when

he

says he s

aw

one. He

described

it

as kexactly like a

human, walking upright .

- During the Second World

War,

Polish soldier Stawomir

Rawicz escaped from a

prison camp in Siberia and

walked across the Himalayas

to India. He claimed that

at

one

point his path wa s

blocked by two

Yetis

.

- In

1951,

mountaineer

Eric

Shipton took pictures

of

sever

al

large footprints while

attempting to scale Mount

Everest. The photos were

taken at about 6 ,

000

metres

above sea level.

- Two years later, Sir

Edmund Hillary and Tenzing

Norgay reported seeing large

footprints while climbing

Mount Everest. Hillary later

mounted an expedition in

search of a

Yeti.

- In 1986,

So, what is the

Yetis.

These

were compared with

samples matched

a sample from an ancient

polar bear jawbone found in

Svalbard (Norway) that dates

A

ccording to

F o r t u n ~

magazine. the

best

company to work ror

is ... Google But is it really

such

a great place?

The Googleplex (Google's

headquarters in Mountain

View

, California)

is

an

impressive set

of

buildings.

With abou t 20 0, 000

square metres of office

space, the re's a replica

of

SpaceShipOne

in

the lobby.

a dinosaur skeleton in the

gardens and a playground

s lide that will take you from

one

floor to the neKt. The

building was completed in

199

.

There are several cafe areas

offering free d rinks and

food. fully-stocked snack

rooms. nap rooms and

games rooms with video

games

, bi lliards and table

tennis. There are free bikes

and scooters so employees

can get from one building to

another, as well as a gym. a

free laund ry room, two small

swimming pools and several

sand volleyba ll courts.

There

's

also a sports

com

pleK

with a roller hockey

rink, basketball courts, a

bowling alley and a mini

golf putting green. not to

mention the subsidised

massages (100 .000 hours

were provided in

2012).

So. what' s the idea behind all

this "fun"? As one manager

explained,

the

main reason

for having

so

many am enities

is to e ncourage productivity

and creativity. Whi le

employees are relaxing,

they can cha t about thei r

projects and get feedba ck on

ideas .. and hopefully create

something

tha t makes the

company even mo re money

This may

sound

like a dream

job, but nol everyone thinks

it's such a great place.

A

recent thread on the websile

Quora* asked the question,

"What's the worst part

abou

t

working at Google? " Here

are some of the answers.

' I

wo rked at one

of

the la rger

non-MV[Mountain

View]

campuses . and the only

intellectual stimulation I

encountered in

my

time there

was the interview process. "

said one eK-employee.

"There was no discipline in

the offices. People chatted

about random things on

the

e·mailing lists, often

insulting each other," said

another employee.

'

The envi r

onment

is

amazing. people are

sma

rt

and d

ece

nt and Google's

mi ss ion is something to be

proud of as an em

pl

oyee.

However, if you ente r the

business thinking tha t you'll

somehow have a hand

in

steering tha t miSSion, it's

not the place for you. Real

decisions are

made

at the

absolute highest levels only.

Everything else requires

very little thought," said

another.

In Britain, it costs

generous sick pay was

found to contribute to

in coun tries

Profit'sharing

TH WOLF

OF

W LL STREET

T

he Wolfo Wal Street is

a comedy

drama

that' s d irected

by

Martin

Scorsese

. It 's based on the life

of

Jordan Belfort - a real·life con artist who

made his

mo

n

ey by

tricking people in to

buying worthless

stocks and

shares. The

film st

ars

Leonardo DiCaprio

(as

Belfort),

Jonah Hill and Matthew McConaughey.

In the

'990

5, Jordan Belfort (9th July

1962) founded the broiceraBe

firm

Stratton

Oakmont . The company employed over

1,

000

stoclcbroken who

used

high -pressure

tactics 10 sell penny stocks

at

inftated

prices.

After art

i

ficially

pumping up

the

value, Bel(ort and others would

dump

their

own shares before prices crashed . He

is

the consummate con man

," explained

Dianne Nygaard, a Kansas City (M issouri)

lawyer who represented some of his victims.

Winn ing the confidence ofthe naive, the

trusting and the greedy by calculatedly

selling people what they wanted to believe.

During his years as a stock

s w i n d ~ r

Belfort

spent much of his money on drink. drugs

and partying.

In 1996.

a drunken Belfort

sank

the

40

-

metre IUKury

yacht

the

Nodine

(originally built for fashion icon Coco

Chanel) off the east coast of Sardinia . He

also once hosted a massive party complete

a marching band . dancing horses and a

roller-

skating

monkey.

Belfort was eventually arrested in 1998 for

securities fraud and money

launderin,

.

After co-operating wi th the F

BI

. he served

22 mon t hs in pri

son

and was ordered to pay

back $110.4 mill i

on

to investors.

Belfort

now

clai

ms

that he's a changed

man

'" was

not

a good guy back

In the

day,

he

eKpla

ined. But I'm a

good

guy now,

I

am . 'J ive my life with such

intepity

. He 's

published

two memoirs: The Wolfof Wo 1/

Stn:et

and Catch

i

ng

the Wolf ofWoll SUet

-

both

of

which have been

pub

li

shed

in

approKimately forty countries and translated

i

nto

e ighteen

languages

. He's also become

a motivaUonal speaker.

NWhat separates Jordan's story from others

like it, is

the

brutal honesty

in

which he

talks about the mistakes

that

he 's made

in his life... eKplained Leonardo DiCaprio.

Jordan stands as a shining

eJCample

of

the transformative qualities

of

ambition

and hard work, and in that regard he a true

motivator.

But despite the

change

, Belfort still owes

millions to his victims.

Will

he ever pay it

back? Only Belfort knows the answer to

that. 0

brands?

NG

HR

W

hile Angela Ahrendts was (EO

of

luxury brand Bu rberry

(from 2006.2013) , she increased the value

of

the

company from f2bn to L7bn during the global economic

recession So, how did

she

do it? Here are four possible

reasons.

n Control

Bu rberry is a British luxury fashion house that's famous for its

trench coats . Angela joined the company

in

January

2006,

and

took up the position ofCEO on 1st July that same year, replacing

Rose Marie Bravo. Her number·one

object

ive

was to regain control

of the brand. "We had 23 licensees

around

the world, each doing

something different," she explained in an interview. So, Angela set

about

buying back the licenses,

so

the

company

could control the

brand. "In lu xury, ubiquity will kill yo u," she added. "It means you' re

not rea lly luxury anymore. And we were becoming ubiquitous."

rl lm ge

Next, Angela decided to work

on

the company image, taki ng

one

brand

in

particular as inspi ration for the change, "If I look to any

company as a model, it's Apple," she told The Wall StreetJournol

in

2010. ~ T h e y ' r e a brilliant design

compa

ny working to create a

lifestyle , and that 's the way I see us." And she added, "From Apple

to Starbucks, I love the consistency - knowing that anywhere in the

world you can depend

on

having t

he

same experience in the store

or being served a lalte with the same taste and in the same cup.

That's great branding." She appointed Christopher Bailey as the

new "b rand aa r ," and announced, "Anything tha t the consume r

sees - anywhere

in

the world -

will

go th rough his office. No

exceptions."

n ocus

As part

of

the re· branding, Angela focused on two key areas:

the British

aspect of

the company and music. "We are British,

everything

we

do has

got to be

quinte

ssentially British. The music,

the models , everything," she explained. As part

of

this re·branding,

they

used British

stars such as

Kate Moss and Emma Watson

in

Bu rber

ry

campaigns. Since Angela arrived, they've also sponsored

music groups, concerts , musicians and festivals, as well as crea ting

their own

se

ries of recordings with British artists as part of

the

Burberry Aco ustic

campaign

.

n

Social media

In order to promote this new image, Angela relied heavily on social

media. And it's been a huge success. In fact, in 2012, Burberry was

named the world's most digitally-competent luxury brand by research

group luxuryLab. As a result

of

their efforts, they curren

tl

y have over

16 million Facebook fans, and two million

on

Twitter. Burberry's

Spring/Summer 2013 campaign went viral, with the teaser video

gaining over one million YouTube views

in

just 48 hours.

THE

PROS

AND

CONS

OF

D

PRINTERS

W

e

all

know how a photocopier works: you

press a button and a copy of a page comes

out. Simple 3D printers work on a similar

basis .. but instead

of

printing out a page, you get a

3D

copy

of

a real o b j ~ c t _ But just how practical are they?

You

can

make just about anything with a

3D

prin ter

as long as it's plastic:

cups,

toys, plates, bottles,

spoons , knives ... Scientists are even experimenting

with 3-D printing

techniques

to create rep lacem e

nt

body parts (including ears and

noses)

and possibly

even internal organs one day. VIDEO

The printing process is fairly complex. Working from

a

3D

digital plan, the printer adds layer upon layer of

plastic until

the

object

is

completed.

3D

printers can

be used to make complex machines. For example,

Ivan Sentch of Auckland. New Zealand, printed off

car parts

so

he could build a replica of an Aston

Martin DB4 sports car. And high tech gunsmith

group Defense Distributed built and test-fired the

world's first 3D-printed firearm .

So, how practical are

3D

printers? Unfortunately,

there are several issues. For a start. they're pretty

expensive. Even a

fairly

basic

one

can cost about

$1,000, with more complex versions costing up

to $500,000 However. pr

ices

are dropping, and

Microsoft is adding 3-D printing support to Windows

8.1, which could help stimulate the market.

3D

printers

are

also pretty difficult to

use

. Unless

you' re really into technology, you're going to have

a hard time with them.

On top

of that,

3D

printers

can't

create fully-formed

gadget

s complete with

moving parts. To do that, you've got to print off

the

parts. then put them together your

se

l

f,

adding

in anything that

can't

be printed: screws (metal

ones), rubber bands , circuit boards .. and so on.

Finally,

there

are also potential legal issues. Will

we be able to print off

lego

blocks for our kids?

And what

about spare

parts for the

dishwasher

, or

a new handle for the fridge? The companies who

own

the cop

yright for

these

products

won't

be

happy abou t this, and could start legal proceedings

for copyright infringement.

getting

a 3D printer any time soon? 0

eman

y

companies have

struggled in t

he

recess ion , several luxury

brands':' have managed to

do quite well. But

how?

Luxury products are top

quality. e)(pensive items.

Famous luxury brands incl ude

Chanel, Ro l

ex.

Omega ,

Burber

ry,

Gucd. Cartier,

Prada, Hermes and

Rolls

Royce. The largest luxury

goods producer in the

world

is

LVMH (Louis Vuitlon

Moet Hennessy) ,

with

over

fifty brands, including Louis

Vuitlon (bags) and

Moet &

Chandon (champagne).

So,

who buys l

uxury

goods?

The largest markets (which

account for 83% of overall

sales) include Japan, China,

the United States, Russia,

Germany, Italy, France , the

United Kingdom,

Brazil.

Spain

and Switzerland. In

2012

,

China overtook Japan as

the world's largest

luxury

market. More importantly.

why

do people buy luxury

products, especially in the

recession? Here are a few

reasons:

11 Wealth

Despite the depression,

there are

still

a lot

of

rich

people out there who are

willing

to spend their money

on luxury goods.

In

fact ,

according to usiness Inside

r

the number of millionaires

in the world is up by 50%

since 2008.

rl Qual;.y

Luxury

brands are top

quality products that

will

last

many years, and won't rip,

tear or break a few months

after buying them. Several

luxury brands offer lifetime

warranties , and will happily

repair products years after

you've bought them.

n

Psychology

luxury brands satisfy a deep

psychological desire - the

need to feel important.

They

'

re

also seen as status

symbols and a sign ofwealth ,

prestige and superiority.

El Price

Prices for luxury goods are

high. However, this makes

them more attractive. A

study

by

Plassman et

al.

from the California Insti tute

of Technology and the

Stanford Graduate School

of Business (Plassmann,

2008) found that when

people were told a particular

wine cost $90 a bottle, they

enjoyed it.

But

when they

were given the same wine

and told it cost $10 a bottle,

they claimed

it

wasn't as

good.

n lmage

Image

is

e)(tremely

important when

it

comes

to luxury goods.

A

brand's

image is created through a

combination of advertising

with celebrities (Daniel Craig

for

Omega, George Clooney

for Nespresso, Nicole

Kidman for Chanel

No

.

5

perfume ..

),

and carefully

constructed marketing

campaigns and sponsorship

deals. Each brand has its

own

particular image.

For

e)(ample, Louis Vuitlon often

plays on their rich, historical

heritage.

For

one of their

campaigns, they focused on

their history of producing

steamer t run

ks

, which

they've been manufacturing

since the 19th century.

[J Brand management

Companies producing

luxury goods are usua lly

extremely car

eful

about

how they manage their

products. They often only

sell the goods through their

own

stores. and oversee the

customer service side

of

th ings themselves to ensure

that this goes smoothly.

Luxury items are hardly ever

discounted, which

in

turn

makes them appear even

more desirable.

Will you be buying any luxury

goods any time s o o ~

· BRAND

A"brand" s a product that's

manufactured

by

a

company

under a

particular name

.

Abrand

has

a unique design and logo. A

brand's image is created through

advertising

. Over

time,

a brand

develops a

personality

that's

associated with abstract concepts

such

as adventure,

youth,

wealth

,

masculinity,

irreverence,

individuality, freedom, etc. A

brand also comes to represent a

promise of

quality

in the minds

ofconsumers.

EDWARD

N O W D ~ N

H RO OR TRAITOR?

I

n May 20t3, Edward

Snowden

disclosed

classified infor

mation

about mass s urvei

ll

an

ce

programs

being run in

the

US and the U

K.

It's

been

described as the biggest leak

in

US

his t

ory.

But how

does

it affect ordinary people?

The

d ocuments

that

Snowden revealed showed

that the US and the UK have

been spying

on just about

everyone .. including world

leaders. They've

been doing

th

is by t rawling th rough

the

phone records, e·maits and

insta nt

messages of

millions

of people.

So, why did

Snowden

decide

to sp

ill

the

beans

? "I don't

want to live in a

soc

iety

that

does

these

sorts

of

things, " he explained. "I do

not want to live in a world

where

everything I

do

and

say is recorded . That is not

something 1am willing

to support or

live

under

. .

T

hese

p r

og

r

ams don't

ma

ke us safer. They hurt

our economy. They hurt

our

cou n try. They limit

our

ability

to

speak, think, live.

and

be creative," he added.

The US

government

was

quick

to respond. "The

programs

that [Edward)

Snowden exposed were

all legal. " sai d Jill Rhodes,

a former govern ment

intelligence official .

Othe

rs

condemned

Snowden

as a

tr

aitor.

The principal arguments in

favour of mass surveillance

are

that it protects

us from

terr

orists

. However,

as

Snowden says, "Bathtub

fa lls

an

d police officers

kill

more Americans t

han

terrorism , yet

we ve

bee n

asked

to

sacrifice

our

most

sacr

ed

righ ts fo r fear of

fa lli

ng victim

to

it."

Another argument is, " If

you'

re

doi ng nothing wrong,

you've got nOlh ing

to

fear. "

The problem with this is, who

gets

to

define what "doing

wrong" means? And even

if

yo

u aren't doing anything

"wrong", you're still being

watched and recorded. And

one day, that information

could

be used

against you

to blackmail you, to

smear

yo

u, even to jail you.

The fact is

that

any

collection of personal data

is

ope

n

to abuse

. Accordi ng

to a report in the Doily Mail

dozens of police wo rkers

in the

UK

are investigated

every year for

obtaining

co nfidential information

from the Police National

Compute

r (PNC), which

has details of mill ions of

crimes

,

suspects and ca

rs ,

Figures

show

that

at

least

29 officers faced discipl inary

hea rings in 2012 fo r

using

the

information for

perso

nal

use, or for

passing

it o n to

rogue private investigators.

So, is Ed ward

Snowden

a

hero

who 's defending

our

fun damenta l rights.

or

a

traitor who sold us

out

to

the

bad guys?

CHIMP ART

•

C

himpanzees are

famous for their

intelligence, but

they're also pretty good

artists In fact, they're so

good that the

Humane

Society has organised the

first ever art

contest

for

them.

And this year's winner was

US

chimp 9ren . H

e's

a

retired laboratory animal ,

who the H

umane

Society

says "loves to laugh and

play". His unique technique

involves painting with his

tongue.

For

the competition,

Brent, 37, created a colourful

work of art with

dab

s

of

violet, blue and yellow on

paper.

The entries were judged

by

primate researcher

and

conservationist

Jane Goodall. Brent won

a $10,000 prize, but

unfortunately won't be ab le

to

spend it

on

ba

nanas.

Instead it

'll

go to the Chimp

Haven, Brent 's sanctuary in

Louisiana (USA).

"All of the art was beautiful

and unique, just

like

chimpanzees," Jane

Goodall said. in a statement

distributed

by

the Humane

Society. "It was difficult to

choose.

It

's

so

important

that the pUblic support

all of

these sanctuaries

in

their mi

ss

ion to provide

e)(ceptional care to

chimpanzees, and other

primates, who have suffered

through so much ."

Second·place artist Cheetah

won a total

of

$10,000,

induding a

$5 .000

judge's

prize awarded by Mrs

ChImps

GoodalL He lives at Save the

place Ripley took $2,500 for
