Swedish Bikini Team
The Swedish Bikini Team was a group of American female models who appeared in an advertising campaign for Old Milwaukee beer. These commercials ran for several months in 1991 in the United States, playing with American stereotypes of Scandinavian women being blonde and having big breasts. The premise of the commercials was that a group of bored or thirsty men were "saved" by the Swedish Bikini Team. Other commercials would focus on a group of men male bonding on a hunting trip and saying "Guys, it does not get any better than this", to which a narrator would say the man was wrong and an Old Milwaukee truck would drive miles off road towards them claiming "it improved", "..and when the Swedish Bikini Team showed up, it got somewhat better."[1]
While many viewers saw the ads as a parody of traditional beer advertisements, some feminists found the ads misogynistic.[citation needed] Though the campaign generated widespread interest, the advertisements were dropped after protests by the National Organization for Women and female employees of the Pabst Brewing Company.[2]
While this advertising campaign provoked controversy, in recent years similar campaigns using attractive spokesmodels to sell beverages have followed in the U.S., with less resistance — such as the Coors twins Diane and Elaine Klimaszewski, and the "Fantanas": spokesmodels for Fanta soft drinks.[citation needed]
Members of the team[edit]
The Swedish Bikini Team were played by American actresses wearing platinum blonde wigs.
- Uma Thorensen — Avalon Anders
- Karin Kristensen — Suzanna Keller
- Hilgar Oblief — Heather Elizabeth Parkhurst
- Eva Jacobsen — Jane Frances
- Ulla Swensen — Peggy Trentini
Other appearances[edit]
The team appeared outside of the commercial campaign on several occasions including on the cover and a pictorial in Playboy and on a Married... with Children episode, "The Gas Station Show". They also had a non speaking appearance on a schooner on an episode of The Adventures of Mark and Brian, where Mark and Brian underwent US Coast Guard training and were attempting to impress the girls by being coasties and asking if they needed rescuing (to which their jet ski then embarrassingly capsizes).
The team, played by different actresses, also starred in the video Never Say Never Mind: The Swedish Bikini Team with John Rhys-Davies.
The movies Dumb and Dumber, Beerfest and Boat Trip include female Swedish teams, inspired by the originals.
Team member Heather Elizabeth Parkhurst appeared on Ken Reid's TV Guidance Counselor podcast on April 22, 2015 and discussed the Swedish Bikini Team at length.[3]

Image by Thomas Hawk via FlickrShel Israel announced on Twitter that he is coming to Canada to launch his new book, Twitterville, in five Canadian cities. Shel's friend, Joe Thornley of Thornley Fallis in Toronto, is organizing the tour. The tour will take place on Third Tuesdays in September. (I guess this is a Twitter reference. I've heard of follow Fridays but nothing about Third Tuesdays.)
The Twitterville book launch will visit these five cities: Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver. Check out the announcement by Thornley Fallis as well as registration information at http://propr.ca/2009/shel-israel-to-launch-twitterville-in-cross-canada-tour-of-third-tuesdays/
Just F.Y.I. the schedule is:
- September 13 Montreal
- September 14 Ottawa
- September 15 Toronto
- September 16 Calgary
- September 17 Vancouver
Cover of The Best Laid Planspublished this book in podcast form since he couldn't find a publisher. Later on his book was published and won the Stephen Leacock award for Humour. I was intrigued and borrowed the book. I read it and tweeted and blogged about my love for this book. I know Terry is hard on work on the next book. I can hardly wait.
Well, somehow or other, Terry discovered that I had written about his book in my blog. He commented on my blog post. (I was tickled pink since I am a novice blogger and didn't think anyone besides my classmates would read my blog.) I started to follow Terry on Twitter.
So today, I just sat up and said, "Wow" when I realized that Thornley Fallis (where Terry Fallis works at his day job) was organizing Shel Israel's book tour.
Too bad I live in Saskatoon. I would love to attend one of these book launch events.)
So, all you lucky folk who live in one of the five cities, check out the link (http://propr.ca/2009/shel-israel-to-launch-twitterville-in-cross-canada-tour-of-third-tuesdays/) and register for tickets. Tell them Ruth sent you.

Continuing the assembly of my MG Zeta Gundam Ver. 2.0 after last Monday.
The red "out-most" components for the wings.
Wings can be expanded already.
It's a repetition of parts between the left and right components.
All the parts for one of the wing binders.
The parts for the left component mirror those on the right side.
Both wings completed.
The flap near the top of the wings (Gundam mode) can move, a feature not available on MG Ver. 1.0.
Joint mechanism for the wings' expansion. It's similar to the design from the PG version.
Parts for tail stabilizer. There's supposedly a polycap as well not shown here.
A rather simple component, with the movement gimmick faithfully reproduced of course.
Painted gray for the interior works well it seems. ^^
Tons of parts for one of the legs, and this is just the inner frame.
The completed frame is rather lacking in details at this moment.
the non-functional hydraulic pipe is quite exposed when the ankle is bent downwards like this. ^^;
Very awesome linked movement action for the knee joint, which will be used for the Waverider transformation.
The same design can also be seen on the PG version, which uses preset string to control the linked movement.
More parts for the leg - the armors and main inner frame details parts.
The most elaborate "inner frame details" for the leg, which come from two parts specially made for that purpose. ^^
Completion of the right leg. The articulation is pretty good, considering the transformation gimmick incorporated that forced the design of various joints to be unconventional as compared to other joint.
The smaller yellow parts near the knee are from foil sticker
The position of the ankle guard is just right to hide the gold portion of the non-functional hydraulic pipe when the ankle is bent downwards, so the "non-functional" design is well hidden as well. XD
Repeating and mirroring parts for the left leg.
All the major separable components for the left leg.
Both legs are now done.
Will move on to assemble the head and torso in the next review, and complete the whole model. ^^

CEO orders probe
Srinagar, Sep 7: In a brazen violation of rules and regulations, a Principal with the help of two teachers demolished a heritage school building at Pattan here in North Kashmir's Baramulla district.
Furious officials have ordered probe while locals demand strict action against the culprits. Ironically, the Principal did all this week before his retirement.
Reports said that Principal (now retired) Government Higher Secondary School Pattan demolished the heritage school building without seeking permission from higher authorities. Reports added that Principal did this in connivance with two teachers who according to locals have been posted in the said Higher Secondary from past 25 years and have been dictating terms in administrative matters.
"The Principal and the two teachers after demolishing the heritage building sold the timber and the left out material to blue eyed persons," locals alleged adding that no tenders were floated and everything was done in haste.
"They sold the timber on commission basis without the approval from higher ups," they said.
In Charge Principal Abdul Majid confirmed that this heritage building was dismantled illegally. "It's very unfortunate that all norms were floated and everything was done on personal basis without the approval of higher authorities," he said.
Chief Education Officer, Baramulla, Abdul Ahad said that an inquiry has been initiated in this regard. "We had not issued any formal order and were shocked to learn that this heritage school building has been dismantled. Strict action will be initiated against the culprits," he assured. (CNS)

Results tagged "Bars" from Kazza the Blank One
Last night was the last night of our work drinks in its current location. To be moved upstairs next month.
To celebrate the end of an era I invited everyone I had a phone number for, and *heaps* of people came - the place was packed! It was a pretty epic night, and we nearly succeeded in the mission to drink the bar dry so things wouldn't need to be moved. Everyone that came had a great night.
Thoroughly demoralising week at work. Still got issues with the app that went out last week. Painful.
Thursday night a small group of us went out to 2 Yummy again - two weeks in a row!
Friday after work the sweetie and I had a drink at Capitol Bar and Grill. I'd been there before when it was still just the Rydges hotel, but it's gone all funky now.
Then we went and fed Potty's fish and picked up some frozen stuff on the way home to cook for dinner. Watched Downfall with the sweetie which was pretty good.
Saturday morning said goodbye to our old dishwasher and the new one got delivered and installed. After lunch we bought the sweetie a new car. Then did our food shopping and came home.
I made a white chocolate caramel slice out of my Women's Weekly "squares and slices" book. Had some of that after dinner, was pretty yummy.
I also cooked some duck breasts with roasted veggies for dinner. I've never cooked duck breasts before. They turned out pretty well!
Watched 12 Monkeys with the sweetie, and then a doco on Queen.
This morning I cooked an imitation breakfast raclette, cleaned the kitchen, downloaded and blogged some photos, and put dinner on to cook a bit after 1pm.
So a very foodie weekend that's for sure.
But the sun is out. I know we should really get out and get some exercise and some vitamin D ....
So what else has been happening?
On Tuesday night we went and tried the bar under A. Baker. We had a beer each, which were local beers. As we were sitting there I noticed a Clonkilla wine on the shelves. So I asked the bar tender if all the drinks there were Australian (excepting maybe the spirits of course). But he said that the majority of drinks were in fact Australian - certainly the wines and beers, and where possible from near the Canberra region. Even a lot of the spirts were Australian, although they did have some imports for the Scotches and Tequila. We'll have to go back some time and sample some other stuff.
After a drink we met up with Stu's old friend Katie in Dickson for dinner. We got a selection of bits and pieces that included dumplings and pork buns and peking duck.
Last night we went with Neil to the "Mapping our World" exhibit at the National Library. It was good but a bit too crowded - really hard to get up close to read the info boards. And it probably should have been called "Mapping Australia" because that's what it mostly focussed on. It finished off with a lot of Captain Cook and Matthew Flinders' maps of Australia.
Then we came home and watched The Shipping News.
I had a terrible week for sleeping. Sunday/Monday/Tuesday I simply couldn't get to sleep and was a zombie most of the week. On Wednesday I was desperate and took everything in the house that might help me sleep, including magnesium, a "sleep" vitamin pill, a valdoxan and a shot of scotch. It had the desired effect and I got to sleep very quickly for once. Although I woke up at 5am. Sigh. Thursday night after drinks was also much better, although woke up at 4am with hurty so that ruined that. Last night I finally got a good night's sleep - getting to sleep early and waking up late.
Tonight after work I went hunting the Baxter Inn on Clarence St.
You'd only know it was there if someone told you about it.
And warned you about dark alleys.
And unmarked doors.
But it was totally worth it! The bar tender I talked to was super helpful and I ended up sitting at the bar.
What a bar!
I ended up trying two scotches - a Longrow CV ($11) and a Caol Ila Distiller's Edition ($17).
Will have to drag the sweetie along some time :)
After that went to Luc and Lizzi's for dinner so could take a donut photo of Ryan.
Three months ago today we took a tram from Central to Victoria Park then did a Central and Sheung Wan foodie tour.
Where was I? Wednesday ..
Dealing with a crap crisis meant not getting any "real" work done today.
Drinks with Neil and Simon at Ha Ha, then La De da, and some very yummy fries.
Then home to fight with technology. Couldn't even get the old DVD player to play - could get audio to come through, but not video. Which is a big stinking poo. So we ended up watching the first couple of episodes of Firefly on Bluray. Can't believe that series is over ten years old now. And Neil is watching Veronica Mars again .. maybe I should too! heh :)

|Gessoed substrate with moon element
|Added element of tree form
|"Solitude" by Marilyn Rea Nasky, 16 x 20" original oil near completion
Moving ahead on my new series is such wonderful fun, full of surprises and happy accidents. I have discovered a substrate that is the most marvelous painting surface. Of course, it requires a bit of effort to prepare, as discussed in my previous posts, but I think it is worth the work! Here are images of my progression from one element to a near complete painting. The final layer is applied with oils which is absolute heaven. The effect is a layering of crystalline colors that glow from the underpainting. Images are of my progression to an almost finished piece. Let me know what you think! With luck and the muse, I will show this series at the upcoming WEST Studio Tour at Austin ArtSpace Gallery. I will post the finished paintings on my website as they come into completion.
Meanwhile, happy painting to all! Cheer's to the process, and all that we as artists learn along the way!

Have you heard of Influenster? Influenster is a social site that allows users to share product reviews. I had joined Influenster maybe a year ago but didn't really get into the site much. At the time it seemed more geared towards younger, hipper folks than me. Well, they have updated and relaunched their site and I got a invitation to take a fresh look.
I really like the new site. You can sign up for "badges" which basically tag the things you are most interested in. The categories are varied, from beauty and food, to family and travel and much more. You answer surveys and post reviews and read other's reviews. I find a lot more that I am actually interested in now with the revamp.
The cool thing is that they sometimes give out "Vox Boxes" with freebies for users to review. I'm not entirely sure what criteria determines who gets a box and what box you get. To my surprise, I just received the "Cosmo Vox Box"

What is Longevity risk?
The risk that in retirement you will consume the wealth you saved up before you pass away.
How this risk plays out in the real world
Aug 24, 2017: Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck
Sep 26, 2016: It's Not Just Brangelina (Americans 50 and older are divorcing in greater numbers, jeopardizing their retirement)
Jul 19, 2016: California's Pension Funding Crisis Just Got Worse

Oct 20, 2015: Companies increasing dollar-for-dollar 401(k) matches
Mar 30, 2015: Almost Half of Americans Aren't Saving Nearly Enough
Sep 07, 2014: America is Turning into a Nation of Freelance Workers
Feb 20, 2014: Your Wilting Retirement: Company 401(k) Plans Get Stingy
Nov 07, 2013: Consumers Have Unrealistic Expectations About Retirement, Study Says
Sep 23, 2013: At 77 He Prepares Burgers Earning in Week His Former Hourly Wage
Sep 04, 2012: Many New Jobs Are Low-Wage (And Bad For Our Retirement Savings)
Sep 04, 2012: Financial crisis ushers in 'The Age of Safety' for investors
Sep 15, 2010: Retirement on Hold: American Workers $6 Trillion Short
Connection to other risks
This risk relates to Inflation risk. Even if you save up a big pile of money over several decades, if inflation is significant over that same time period, what you earn with your investments may not buy enough for you to live a reasonable retirement. For example, if inflation is 3% per year, in just 24 years, the prices of the goods we buy and services we consume will double.
How investors can manage Longevity risk
- Save up enough money that you can live off what your savings earn each year. By never having to spend any of the wealth you accumulated, it will earn money for you year after year. For example, if you accumulate $1 million by retirement and earn 5% on it, that's $50,000 coming to you each and every year. Of course, as you are nearing the end of your life, you can also start spending the $1 million itself.
- Purchase an annuity, a special type of investment / insurance policy that allows you to pay an insurance company money in the years leading up to retirement and to collect money from the company from the year you retire until you pass away.
A final word
After the Great Recession, the Federal Reserve Bank embarked on a near decade-long "zero interest rate policy" or ZIRP. Doing so made it difficult for retirees to achieve a reasonable rate of return on safer investments that pay a fixed rate of interest each year. This policy virtually forced retirees to keep a significant amount of their wealth in the stock market in search of reasonable rates of return. However, the stock market can experience significant losses, something retirees can ill afford. With the Federal Reserve Bank raising interest rates in the 2015 to 2018 and beyond, investors who prefer fixed interest rate investments may finally be able to once again earn a reasonable rate of return.

Bogachiel Rain Forest Trail System Map
View a printable Bogachiel Rain Forest Trail System Map (PDF)
Explore a lush temperate rain forest on easy to moderate hikes through old growth, hanging mosses, fern, maple, and wetlands. The Bogachiel is one of four Olympic 'rain forest' valleys. (The others are Hoh, Queets and Quinault). Part of the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail, it provides day-use in a magical valley below, access to Olympic National Park, or an epic adventure to Glacier National Park.
This dog and family friendly trail provides a great opportunity to view old growth rainforest in a wetland setting. Travel though old growth spruce, cedar and hemlock with hanging mosses and a floor of ferns. The Bogachiel River can be accessed at several points before the trail reaches Olympic National Park (ONP) boundary in 1.6 miles (no dogs are allowed in the Park).
There is a 3 mile wetland loop option via the Ira Spring Wetland Trail #825.1 (No horses are allowed on Ira Spring Wetland Trail). Cross Morganroth Creek to the Wetland Loop trail on the left (or east). Weaving through a fern forest, a short path leads to the mouth of the wetland and a State interpretive sign. This Loop Trail is a puncheon route that overlooks wetlands and rejoins the main trail in 1.4 miles. Head west (right) for a 2.9 mile roundtrip hike to the trailhead. Head east to the Park and continue on the Bogachiel River Trail which continues for 30 miles eventually reaching the Seven Lakes Basin and Sol Duc Hot Springs. Contact Olympic National Park for more information about trail conditions inside the Park.
There is a one mile loop via the Homestead Loop Trail #825.2 which begins at 0.3 miles from the trailhead where the main trail turns due east. The Homestead Trail begins to the west. The easy 0.3 mile loop turns south for river views and passes through alder groves of the 1890 Morgenroth homestead, chronicled in Footprints in the Olympics. Return to the trailhead for a one mile hike.
Caution: Be sure to carry adequate drinking water, and be prepared for bad weather (wind and rain) by carrying rain gear and warm clothing. During hunting season, wear orange or other bright colors.
Access from Bogachiel Rain Forest River Trailhead.
Washinton Trails Association, Backcountry Horsemen and other groups help to maintain Bogachiel Trail.

If you opt to use Andy emulator as a substitute to BlueStacks or you you would like to install free Android Wear for MAC, you might still stick to the same method.

Decorate a fall mantel to get noticed this year. Bring in the bounty the season along with tried and true decorating techniques to create a beautiful fall mantel. Celebrate fall with the best mantel you have ever created! Here's how…
Today on Decorating Tips And Tricks we are talking about FALL MANTELS! We have lots of creative ideas for you!
You can listen below…
You don't need a mantel to put these ideas into use in your home. Any horizontal surface will work.
Every mantel should have a backdrop. Something on the wall behind the mantel. Far too often the wall is left blank or a large mirror is hung there. I know, I made the mirror mistake! For years I had a beautiful gilded mirror hanging high on my mantel until one day it dawned on me that all the mirror reflected was the ceiling. Not very becoming!
A backdrop lifts our eyes up and fills in the space between the mantel and the ceiling.
I promptly took the mirror down and started looking for something that would be interesting as a backdrop and yet not get in the way of the decor on the mantel itself.
After several backgrounds, I chose a big clock. The clock had an ugly brown frame. S0 I painted it white and lightly antiqued it in a soft gray. It's large but does not call to much attention to itself because its color is close to the wall color.
Here are a few things you might think about using as a background…
- clock
- architectural piece
- burlap stretched on a canvas
- large wreath
- large old window
- chalkboard
- tobacco basket
- framed saying
- shutters
- large empty picture frames (painted the same color or close to the wall color)
Many of you have a tv over your mantel. If you have high enough ceilings you might want to raise your tv a little bit further above the mantel so you have room to decorate it.
Don't let having a tv deter you from decorating your mantel. Decorate around your tv if you have to! And if you can't decorate your mantel decorate the mantel hearth.
This is a fall mantel so make sure you add some great fall elements. There are so many fabulous fall inspired items that would look amazing on a mantel. And if they are can fool the eye or are fabulous use faux!
Here are a few things to put on a fall mantel…
- pumpkins
- cotton bolls
- leaves
- wheat sheaves
- bottles of twigs
- acorns
- pinecones
- dried hydrangeas
- bittersweet
One of the most basic elements of decor is to vary the heights of an arrangement. And decorating a mantel is really creating along arrangement.
Your eye will travel up and down over the objects differing in height and your mind will perceive this as attractive. Give your eye lots of peaks and valleys to travel along.
As the days get shorter light becomes a very important element in fall decorating. Don't forget to add candles or other things that bring light and a glow to your mantel
Here are a few ideas…
- tall, slender lamps
- lanterns
- candles on chunky candlesticks
- votives
I like to use battery operated candles on timers so they light up by themselves and I don't have to worry about blowing them out before I go to bed.
Texture is fall's best friend! Nubby, rough, bumpy, corrugated and knobby! Texture is really the secret weapon of great decor!
Here are some wonderful things you can use to add texture to a fall mantel…
- anything burlap
- baskets
- anything jute
- bittersweet
- twigs and branches
- pinecones
- acorns
- birdhouse gourds
- pumpkins
- raw wood
- pallets
- grapevine wreaths
The burlap flowers above are from a local shop.
It's fun to have a little bit of something unique or whimsical on a fall mantel. I love to add garlands to drape across the front to the mantel or find interesting pumpkins or florals.
You can see how to make the leaf garland HERE.
The pumpkins below came from a local shop as well as the little wooden rounds. The pumpkins are made out of jute and I just love the nubby feel they add to this mantel.
Now, I bet you can create a fall mantel that will get noticed this year!
You might like to follow me on Pinterest and see what I'm finding to pin every day HERE.

I would like to call Manny Delcarmen an idiot. I really would: because he pitched secretly hurt for half the season, he looked like he had completely lost his edge, and made us question whether or not he belonged on the team. After all, a healthy Manny Delcarmen may not make the difference between a first-round exit and a World Series victory, but he's still a piece of that all-so-important functioning bullpen and therefore responsible for an additional win or two.
So I would love to blame him, but I can't: if an athlete in 2009 feels like they have to hide their injury, it's a symptom of a larger social problem, where players are so worried about looking they have the competitive spirit that they sacrifice health for the game and make themselves less effective in the process. It's an irrational stance to take, which is why it bothers me: in a perfect world (in my head, anyway), players would not play when they were hurt and people would not judge them for lacking the competitive spirit. Alas, this perfect world does not exist, so we have the next flawed thing: a player has to make the decision about whether or not it's more important to be judged by their competitive ability or their health and some - like Delcarmen - choose competitive ability over health as a rational decision and end up losing both.

What not to do during the Greek life suspension
It's bringing out the worst in some of us
While Greek life being suspended has caused many to engage in more wholesome activities such as exercising, exploring Ann Arbor, doing homework on a Saturday, going to Hillel, or even going home for the weekend, for others, things has gone astray. For some of us who don't know what to do with ourselves, the suspension means strictly going to bars, smoking too much, and hosting too many people in your dorm. Here are some untold stories:
The unwanted claim to fame
"Since there were no frat parties going on, my friends and I decided to go to Study Lounge. However, it turns out that bars are less crowded and more people are paying attention to what you're doing. As I was arguing with a boy, someone filmed us, capturing the moment until the end when we ended up making out. This video proceeded to make it on the Instagram accounts 5th year, which has over 600,000 followers, and total frat move, which has over a million followers. In other words, the Greek life suspension has been my claim to fame, and the past few days have been comprised of me being bombarded with texts asking I was actually the girl in the video."
"Hi, how are you?" More like "how high are you?"
"Since I couldn't go out to a frat party, I wanted to get high. It had been a while since I had done so because parties mostly involve drinking. I took a few hits, but I wasn't feeling anything right away, so I decided to take more. Not my best decision. The next two hours included far too many tears and me claiming to be drowning every time I took a a sip of water."
A tropical storm
"Since we didn't feel like going out to a bar again, we decided to host Around the World in our room. Since our country was tropical, Emergen-C was obviously the chaser of choice (Vitamin D somehow got confused with Vitamin C). However, somehow this powder turned into something that seemed like a good idea to snort. The rest of the night was spent blowing our noses; in other words, the night didn't end sunny-side up"
Greek life being suspended has everyone caught off guard. It seems like some social experiment- leading everyone to try new things and forcing them out of their routine of going to mixers. With that said, when pondering what to do with all of your new free time, try to remember these takeaways: bars are less crowded than frat parties, your smoking tolerance may not be as high as you think, and never get your vitamins confused.

Two new species of saber-tooth predators have been discovered in Russia, which may help us better understand the evolution of mammals. The fossils, which were found near the town of Kotelnich, around the Vyatka River, in the part of Russia situated on the European continent.
The first of the fossils was given the scientific name Gorynychus Masyutinae, and it is a carnivore with a size similar to that of a wolf, and the other, smaller in size, was called Nochnitsa Geminidens, and is a kind of snout long. The two new species were given their names from legendary monsters of Russian folk wisdom because of their terrifying appearance.
This new discovery will help scientists to better understand the ancestral evolution of mammals following extinction during the Permian period some 260 million years ago, a period in which researchers believe that much of the ecosystem was dominated by creatures by saber-tooth predators, because after this period, carnivores of shorter stature began to dominate the Earth.
According to Christian Kammerer, who was responsible for the study, at this particular time, there was a kind of reversal of roles, in which small creatures became great and menacing beings, and creatures of great stature became tiny creatures.
According to the scientist, the region of Kotelnich is one of the most important regions in the world in terms of the fossils of this period, not only by its quantity, but also by its state of preservation and diversity.

How to Create Good Website?
Having a great website for your business is crucial if you want to give your clients a memorable and browsable experience, yes you read it right, we said 'browsable'. Imagine this, will you continue browsing a website, which takes ages to load and does not have anything to inspire repeat visits? We are sure you would not want to land on that website again. The same implies on your consumers also, like you, they also need something that uploads quickly and adds value. Great businesses know the worth of their online presence and, therefore, they invest time, effort and money to make their virtual presence worthwhile and unforgettable for the clients.
Many new businesses and entrepreneurs make the mistake of thinking that website developing does not require any plan and can be done by anyone, freelancer or a company, which is not at all a good thing for your business. To build a great website, it is important to have a clear and comprehensive plan and a source that has the required experience and professionalism to complete the project.
Elements of a Great Website
Following are some of the key elements of creating a great website:
1. Used Best Technologies For Website
While designing a website, choosing the appropriate technology is the foremost thing as it is the framework on which the entire site is based. With the development in software and IT industry, different CMSs and website development technologies have come forward that help the developers in building static and dynamic websites that are more of a full of life experience than plain internet sites. Some of the main technologies include:
Scripting/Programming Languages
These languages are used to build and develop a website's front-end and backend structure that creates the appearance of a website. While there are several different kinds of scriptiog languages, following two are amongst the most commonly used ones:
I. HTML5 Based Web
HTML5 is a markup language that is used to display content on the World Wide Web, or the internet. Published by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) on October 2014, it is a part and the up to date version of the HTML standard language. HTML5 is designed to improve the existing working of the language and make it compatible for contemporary multimedia and graphical content with detailed processing models to handle documents and cross-platform mobile applications. New application programming interfaces (APIs) include:
- Microdata
- Timed Media Playback
- Editable content
- MIME Type
- Protocol handler registration
- Web Messaging
- Canvas
- Offline
- History
- Drag and drop
II. CSS is Best Display Scripting Language
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a scripting language used to display the appearance of web pages along with their colors, layout and fonts. It is a vastly adaptive style that allows the developers to adapt the appearance of the site as per the device like large screens like desktop, small screens like phones and printers. It is used independent of HTML Web and can be tagged with any XML-based markup script; this makes the maintenance of websites, sharing of style sheets and modifying web pages as per the medium, an easy process. It separates the content from presentation and makes it adaptable as per the device and its frameworks include Foundation, Blueprint, Materialize, Bootstrap and Cascade Framework.
Content Management Systems (CMS)
CMS is a computer application that is used to create and modify digital content; with its advent, people with little and limited web development and management knowledge and experience can also create and manage websites and blogs with ease. Some widely used CMS includes:
I. WordPress is one of the top cms in Karachi Pakistan
Probably the most commonly used content management system, WordPress is a free digital content creation and management tool that is used to design dynamic websites. Initially, it was designed as blogging software but, as time passed, it is now used as a full-fledged development tool. Its interface is quite robust with a number of in-built themes and freedom to stack plug-ins for search engine optimization and social media optimization purposes. Moreover, one can also download WordPress themes and use them to build highly interactive and engaging websites.
II. Magento Safe and Secure Ecommerce Platform
Magento is an open-source e-commerce platform that is written in PHP and provides two separate platforms namely Magento Open Source and Magento Commerce. Contrary to version 1, Magento V2 has several improved features like enhanced user experience and consumer conversion rates, enterprise level expandability, integral and rich snippets, developed page caching and a number of other improved and efficient features that help developers design and build effective e-commerce platforms.
III. Joomla is User Friendly Website Development Platform
It is an open-source and free content management system used for publishing digital content and is structured on a model-view-controller framework that can also be used outside a CMS. Its scripting language is PHP and it utilizes OOP, object-oriented programming techniques and software designing scheme, stocks information in MYSQL, MSSQL or PostgreSQL. Some of its key features include page caching, news flashes, RSS feeds, and pages with printable versions, search guidance and language internationalization support. Joomla's extensions include components, modules, plugins, templates, languages, libraries, files and packages with each of them having its own functions.
Types of Websites
Some of the chief different kinds of websites include:
I. Div Based Website
DIV based website design comprises of division tags that appear on a web page as rectangular blocks of particular height and width. These block divisions are used to separate the content of the web page while the divided blocks can be used with independent layout. These are tableless designs and tableless coding is a design scheming technique that is managed without the use of HTML tables. With the rise of web 2.0 and search bots' preference of W3C attuned layout and web users demanding websites with fast load time, the popularity and magnitude of tableless DIV based web design have increased.
II. Simple and Static Website
A simple and static website is a site that is fixed and non-moving content as the page is written in HTML and displays the same content to every visitor. These are the most basic kind of websites and probably they are easier to create and manage as, once created, they are not required any high-end technology or skills. These websites do not require any advanced web programming or database blueprint and can be created with some HTML pages and a web server to publish them.
III. Database Based Dynamic Website
A dynamic website is the one that has data that changes according to the visitor's location, time zone, day, native language and a number of other things that change and modify as per the visitor's preferences. Unlike static website that only requires few HTML coded pages, dynamic websites may have either client side or server side scripting, or sometimes both. The combination of both the programming types generates the auto-modifying web content and has HTML as the basic scripting language.
2. Creative and Attractive Designing Element
As per the research, visual content gains more engagement and reduces bounce rate; websites with great and relevant visuals and graphics receive more traffic then the ones having generic images. Designing element is an important part of a website creation and, just like other parts of a site; it requires attention and thoughtful plan to avoid any last minute issues. Designing comprises of several different features when it comes to creating a good website; it includes the right color combination, design balancing, new and fresh look and highly responsive design.
I. PSD to Html
PSD is the abbreviated form of Photoshop Document, it is a layered image file used in Adobe Photoshop and enables the user to work with the layers of the image. It is a major design file and is used in every graphic related projects and convert the flattened image into a .JPEG, .GIF, .TIFF or any other file format. It gives clean and high definition images that can be further transferred to Coral Draw and other software to enhance the image quality. However, once converted, PSD cannot be converted back to its initial file format so it's better to save the .PSD file for any future usage. Psd is easily convertable in any website layout or format.
II. JPEG to Webpage
Joint Photographic Experts Group, JPEG, is a standard image compression software used in a number of image file formats. It offers high quality images with definition and colors, which is why a number of digital cameras and photography tools and software uses it. Other than capturing images, JPEG is used to store and transfer the photographic images on the internet, however, all the variations are called JPEG.
JPEG format can be encoded in a number of ways including:
- Color space transformation
- Downsampling
- Block Splitting
- Discrete cosine transform
- Quantization
- Entropy coding
PSD is used to design and create mockups for the website that are afterwards converted into HTML site. There are a number of ways to convert PSD to HTML while some CMSs like WordPress come with an inbuilt feature to convert the images into HTML coding.
3. Development Element
I. ASP.NET for Web Applications
Want to build an enterprise- class web application with minimal coding? Delve into the world of ASP.NET. It is an integrated web development model, which is a part of the .NET framework and provides all the necessary tools required to build topnotch web applications. It differentiates in a number of ways from the classic ASP version as it allows:
- Faster applications run time
- Improved early stage and runtime error handling
- Usage of multi-language capabilities of .NET CLR (Common Language Runtime)
- Extensive collection of controls and class libraries that facilitates in quick applications development
It offers three web application development frameworks including ASP.NET Web Forms, ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Web Pages, which are all fully stable and allows great web application development. Besides, to further perk up its functional capabilities, Microsoft has introduced some framework extensions:
- ASP.NET Handler
- ASP.NET SignalR
- ASP.NET Razor
- ASP.NET Dynamic Data
- ASP.NET Web API
II. PHP Based Secure Website
An acronym for Hypertext Preprocessor, PHP is a programming language used for general purpose of developing server side web. It is an open source commonly used language that can be implanted into HTML and paired with several web template system, CMSs and multiple web frameworks. It is probably the most widely used scripting language and the reason for this is that it is highly compatible with a various web servers, operating systems, platforms and relational database management systems (RDBMS). PHP is also used to build dynamic websites and images while the code is developed by an interpreter employed as a web server component or Common Gateway Interface (CGI).
It is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMs) while its name is a mix of the co-founder's daughter's name, My, and the abbreviated form of Structured Query Language, making its full name MYSQL. Besides, MYSQL is a key module of an open-source web application software stack, LAMP, which is an acronym for Linux, Apache, MYSQL and Perl/PHP/Python. Some of the applications that utilize MYSQL are TYPO3, Joomla, WordPress, Drupal, MyBB, phpBB and is used in a number of high-end websites. MYSQL's free graphical administration applications to be integrated with it are Database Workbench, Adminer, LibreOffice Base, MYSQL Workbench, DBEdit, OpenOffice.org and several others.
Microsoft SQL Server is a RDBMS developed by Microsoft to store and retrieve data and information that is requested by other software applications that run on the same system or a computer across a different network. Microsoft introduces several editions of MSSQL that are directed at multiple audiences and work pressures from small-scale applications to large ones with simultaneous users. MSSQL Server comes with several add-on services as replication services, reporting services, notification services, integration services etc.
4. UI and User Interface or Frontend Designing
For a great website, interactive user interface and front-end designing; your consumers will come in touch with your website before they actually talk to you. Therefore, easy to navigate user interface and engaging web design are keys to keeping your consumers glued to your site and further move down the consumer funnel.
I. User Friendly
Great web designs are user friendly as they guide the visitors through the whole website with ease as well as encourage them to take the desired action. User-friendly interface and frontend design includes easy to navigate web pages with relevant and high quality graphics that help the visitors in understanding your business. Such websites are easy to use and offer great user experience, which results in word of mouth marketing and you will get your loyal customer who will be your advocate and bring other potential consumers to your site.
II. Easy and Fast Browsing
No matter how big or small a website is, if it is taking too long too long to load, it will not yield successful results. In our contemporary world, we demand instant results and answers and, therefore, a website that is hard to browse or require any special skills will not catch our attention. To make the browsing easy, use images and graphics that speak for your business and tell your consumers about it, in simple language. Visual content is way engaging than written one, invest in your business' visual story and make the pages easy to browse by giving directions and improving page load time. A general rule of thumb is, less is more, keep the directions clear and less in number.
III. Compact and High-End Search
Great UI, front-end designing, easy browsing and compact and high-end search are interconnected with each other; the more clear and user friendly a website is, the more good ranking it will get from Google. As per Google's latest search bot, relevant and high quality content is now the only way to rank high in searches. The bot considers everything from UI to designing and content to see how well the website is working with the consumers. High quality visual content augments SEO purposes and results in high-end search results and brand visibility that makes your business more accessible and easy to reach.
IV. Color Choosing for Webpage
Color plays a vital role in enhancing the look of the website; however, it is important to choose the colors that are relevant to your business and reflects your brand identity. The choosing of color of your website depends on business' nature, for instance, pink and red colors are more suited for businesses dealing in cosmetic and feminine luxury products while construction and architectural businesses should use solid colors like blue, cream, brown, black etc. While designing your website, thorough research is a must, see what your competition is doing and what is trending. Making a proper and thorough plan will save you both time and efforts as it will keep you and your design team in line with the plan.
5. Content Writing and Data Gathering
Content is the lifeblood of a business and if you want to keep your clients engaged and build a reputation of an authority then you need to take care of your website's content. Like any project or assignment, proper content planning and creation requires brainstorming and detailed strategy, which is crucial if you want to succeed.
I. Information and Data Gathering
When starting to work on a project, especially if it is related to website and content, gathering as much data as possible is key to successful and effective content creation. While preparing to start on the website project, research what your clients, consumers are looking for, and what is trending. For instance, if you are working in software industry then you should know about the latest developments and present day markup languages. Once you get the required information, it would be easy for you to proceed with your website development.
II. High Quality and HD Images
High quality images are a just for good display of your products, memorable user experience and good search engine rankings when they are combined with Meta tags. Besides high quality content, high quality and relevant images do great things when it comes to having a great and memorable website. It increases user engagement and views on the site, reduces bounce rate and increases the chances of lead conversion. In short, having high quality and relevant images will help with making your content interesting, comprehensible, shareable and memorable.
III. Good and Unique Text/Content
Content is the most significant aspect of a site's success as it initiates the working of SEO, which is important for any website's visibility. However, with the surfacing of a number of websites, it has become quite difficult to cut through the competition and gain visibility. Good and unique content helps in instating your position as a market authority and leader and makes you a credible source. Getting people sign up for your mailing list is not enough; you need to remind them about yourself if you do not want to be lost in the backdrop. While creating the content, research your audience, their interests and needs and create your content around it.
IV. Website Sitemap
A sitemap is a complete map of a website and all the visible pages; it contains page information also as when the page was created and modified and its relevance with the website and other pages. One of the main advantages of Google sitemaps is that they make indexing easier for the search bots and help the visitors in knowing a site in a glance. Chief benefits of having a sitemap include automated notification whenever your site's content is updated, easy search engine indexing, you will be easily accessible by your clients and you can learn about your consumers and if your content needs any improvement to attract more visitors.
V. Catchy Slogan and Header Text
If you think your customers will notice you on their own, good luck with it, it is not going to happen; if you want them to notice you, you need to make them do it and catchy slogans and header texts are here for your rescue. Slogans are catchy phrases that are designed to catch instant attention and inspire action in the clients. Header texts are good for both your SEO and visitors; think it this way, you visit a website and it is all filled with content with no headings, confused right? Don't worry it is completely normal. With header texts, search engine crawlers will learn what your website and pages are about and index it accordingly.
6. SEO & SMM Plugin & Script
Without proper SEO and SMM no business can survive and prosper; search engine crawlers look for relevant keywords that describe a website and what the business is about. Optimization is not only the content you publish on the website or blog, rather it is about adding relevant keywords to different parts of your site like page URL, page description, proper page title and headings. By optimizing the mentioned things, you make sure that your website is giving the right message to the web crawlers, which is to show your website in Google search engines.
Major CMSs like WordPress have inbuilt features to incorporate different effective SEO and SMM plugins that make websites search engine friendly. Likewise, social media platforms also work on keywords that are added via page descriptions, blog descriptions and hashtags, all of which contribute to healthy social media marketing campaigns. Main social platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Google use keywords to gather and direct traffic and audience to your business.
Though a number of websites do not have a robots.txt file, it really helps and augments your website's SEO efforts. A robots.txt file directs the search engine crawler to the site pages that you want to be indexed and which ones you want it to avoid. It is a simple text file and is placed into the root directory of your website and is a crucial part of your SEO as it signals the Google bot to get important information from the pages, which is significant for good search engine rankings. Providing a proper and well-built sitemap also helps the Google bot to get the important information about the site pages and index it with ease.
7. Windows and Linux Based Web Hosting
Web hosting is an internet-based service that allows the websites to be accessible via World Wide Web; companies offering web hosting provides server space, which is owned or rented by the respective client. Web hosting companies also provide internet connectivity and space for official email accounts. Web hosting is of different types and sizes including:
- Free web hosting, with limited service
- Shared web hosting
- Reseller web hosting
- Collocation web hosting
- Cloud hosting
- Clustered hosting
- Grid hosting
- Home server
Cpanel and Linux are amongst the most popular and efficient web hosting and operating system as they offer a number of effective tools that make the website controlling process easy and fast.
I. Cpanel Supported Web Hosting
Started as the control panel for the now defunct company Speed Hosting, Cpanel s now one of the major Linux based web hosting control panel. With its graphic interface and automation tools, it abridges the website control process and utilizes a three-tier design that addresses administrators, resellers and end-user website owners. Cpanel can both be used as a dedicated or a virtual private server and runs on Linux operating system. It offers following application and email based support:
- Apache
- MySQL
- PostgreSQL
- Perl
- SMTP services
II. Linux is a Secure Servers
Linux is the most popular and widely used operating system and is utilized by a number of things like smartphones, cars, home appliances and many other things that are used in our daily lives. It manages all the hardware resources of a computer and aligns it to be used with the software. Linux has evolved into the most reliable and dependable computer operating system as unlike with any other OS, the user does not have to combat against frequent malware, viruses, website crashes and slow down and license fees. It is absolutely easy and free to install and use and you can modify it according to your requirements. Comparatively, Linux is much cost effective solution, which is easier to operate and access than the Windows Based server than can cost up to $1,500. Since Linux is an opensource software, anyone can modify it and then redistribute the modified copy. Some of the well known Linux distributers are;
- Ubuntu Linux
- Linux Mint
- Arch Linux
- Deepin
- Fedora
- Debian
- openSUSE.
8. Security & Website Speed
After great content, graphics and web hosting, your website needs a strong security system to prevent any future hazards. Building a website and converting it into a brand requires loads of efforts and time and therefore, to secure your brand, you need to have a solid security plan. The internet is inclusive, which means everyone including the people who may jeopardize businesses have access to it. There is a number of hacking attack cases where the hackers hacked the entire website and, in many cases, the owners had to suspend the services until the site is retrieved.
I. SiteLock
SiteLock is a tool used to secure the websites and servers; it scans them for any possible security related perils like malware, Trojan viruses, ransomware and any hacking dangers. After scanning your site, it will either fix the problem or warn you against it along with guiding about next steps. It is a global leader in cyber security and offers cloud based website security with 360 degree monitoring, fixing of errors, preventing possible attacks and speeding up the website's performance. Some of its key functions are;
- Spam Screening
- Business Verification
- Site Verification Certificate
- Blacklist Screening
- Malware Screening
II. Symantec SSL
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a paradigm technology to keep the internet connection and cyber data that is transferred between two mediums secure and locked. The two mediums can be either a server and client, like an ecommerce site and shopper, or two servers like an application with some crucial personal and financial data. It processes the data transfer by encrypting the information being sent to the receiver's end. It transforms the information into encrypted algorithm and scrambles it to prevent hackers from reading and stealing sensitive data. SSL's key functions include:
- Encryption and Data Protection
- Server Authentication
- Data integrity and Authentication
9. Complete QA before Launch
Once the website is prepared, it is time to have a detailed and complete QA before launch; Quality Assurance process makes sure that none of the errors is left unanswered and the site is fit for final launch. While visiting a site, the very first thing a visitor notices is how quick the pages are loaded and if it's taking ages then it's very much likely that the visitor will leave it without complete browsing. Checking the speed of all pages is a must if you want to minimize bounce rate and keep your audience glued to your site. Broken links, alignments, spelling and blank extra spaces are some of the thinks that should be addressed before publishing the website. You are dealing with smart audience and even smarter Google bots, they will notice any, and every, discrepancy in your website's structure and content, which will send off signals. It is crucial to have a detailed Quality Assurance of your website to avoid any future and likely menace.

Cash Transfers For The Impoverished Get Personal
What would provide evidence of the value of cash transfers to developing regions began, in part, in the world of pharmacology and medicine.
When RCTs (randomized control trials) — which had been the gold standard in that realm for some time — began to make their way into economics in the early 2000s, it led to "a spate of research showing that cash was quite effective," said Michael Faye, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of GiveDirectly.
The second piece proving the validity of cash, as Faye explained in a recent conversation with MPD CEO Karen Webster, was digital payments and the introduction of M-Pesa — which "got over a big operational hurdle of how to get payments into the hard-to-reach places in the world."
It was around that time (in the mid-2000s) that Faye and Paul Niehaus began looking for an NGO (non-governmental organization) that did cash transfer programming digitally to whom they could donate … but no such organization existed.
"A very senior person at a big NGO told us that the push wasn't going to come from within the traditional sector," Faye tells Webster, "and, if we really wanted to make that happen, we were going to need to set something up and do it ourselves, outside the existing organizations."
And that is just what Faye and Niehaus did by launching GiveDirectly in 2008.
Despite the emerging evidence of the effectiveness of digital cash transfers, Faye says that he and Niehaus wanted to ensure their impact was just as good — and they wanted to do so credibly.
So one of the first things they did with GiveDirectly (after ironing out some operational elements) was launch RCTs. "And the results were consistent with everything that we had seen about cash," remarks Faye.
To this day, GiveDirectly continues to run evaluations — not only to evaluate the effectiveness of cash, but also to address outstanding policy and operational issues. The company seeks to answer questions such as: "Do you give to the man or the woman? How much money should you give? How frequently should you give? What if we said we were going to give someone money forever — do they stop working, or do they work more?"
"We know some of the answers, but there are others that we still don't," Faye observes. "And as cash becomes more popular [with governments starting to launch large-scale cash programs, for example] the importance of getting this right increases significantly."
As for identifying critical success factors with regards to developing countries and the regions within them, Faye said the first step is to look at the metrics the company really cares about. "Cash really crystallizes that, in that you'd like to reach most of the money to reach the poor," Faye said.
He tells Webster that, in the case of GiveDirectly in Kenya, about 90 percent of the money (including accounting for operational costs) will reach its intended recipients.
Beyond maximizing the amount and ensuring that it falls into the right hands, Faye says that GiveDirectly also seeks to address questions around the "beneficiary service" — how far people need to walk to pick up the cash, if they are treated with respect, etc.
"One thing that we've seen is that digital payments, identity cards, smart cards, et al, can have a dramatic impact on the amount of money that actually reaches the poor," said Faye. "Having said that — and I think this is equally important — the lack of digital payments often gets used as an excuse to not do cash programs. At GiveDirectly, we've continued to push the envelope on that and done cash in places that don't have robust digital payments. While they are slightly less efficient and more complicated to manage, it is certainly possible."
In Uganda — where there is no agent network, such as the one that M-Pesa operates in Kenya — GiveDirectly organizes what it calls "payout days," whereby the company drives in with cash and people exchange digital money for it.
However, it's also been pursuing the question, posed by Faye: "If we didn't do that — would people find a way to get the cash anyway?"
"And it's looking like the answer to that question is 'yes,'" he told Webster.
GiveDirectly has found that 30 percent of the people in locations that require payout days actually don't show up for them but still find a way to get their money. Faye surmises that this is likely being accomplished by a number of recipients giving their digital currency to one individual, who then makes the trip on their behalf and delivers their cash for a small charge of his own.
To address the myriad obstacles of data management and the challenges of working with the various mobile money providers, GiveDirectly formed Segovia. That offshoot, explains Faye, is helping to "manage this all in a secure way, and literally have just a single system that you can hit 'pay,' and it goes out to whoever the agent network at the end of the chain is, without worrying about all of the risk that comes with it."
He shares with Webster that, in the regions where GiveDirectly has launched, "incomes are up by about 30 percent. The number of days that children have skipped a meal dropped by about 42 percent. There's some evidence that domestic violence falls pretty meaningfully."
Additionally, researchers have seen a "meaningful decline" in recipients' cortisone levels, which are an indicator of stress.
Faye believes strongly that the question of long-term impact is one that should be asked of all development interventions — and there's shockingly little long-term evidence to date, he said.
Toward that goal, GiveDirectly this year launched a long-term evaluation — "not just on the individual level," notes Faye, "but the long-term impact on the community."
"While the long-term evidence for cash is not as strong as we would like," he adds, "it's better than almost anything else."
In the time since GiveDirectly has been in operation, Faye believes that the landscape has changed pretty dramatically.
"The headlines weren't the most flattering at the start, involving words like 'experiment,' 'crazy,' 'nuts,' that sort of thing," he tells Webster. "But the world has changed."
Faye notes that the World Bank recently held a panel stating that, "We should be doing more cash — and, more importantly than that, we should establish cash as a benchmark, and instead of asking, 'Why cash?' ask, 'Why not cash?'"
"It's been a pretty bold shift in the last for years, which I think is the right direction," Faye goes on to state. "There's a subtext that action is still lagging a bit behind policy conversations, so cash is still kind of, at most, 6 percent of humanitarian spend. Still quite small. And there a lot of entrenched interests in the sector that probably have something to lose from cash."
"The more forward-looking people are pushing through that and recognizing that cash is not only an opportunity to do cash itself," concludes Faye, "but it's an opportunity to reconsider the design of the entire sector and the organizations that are part of it."

Thanks for the reply and the advise. You make good point to switch transformer windings based on output. I didn't consider the current mode.
Hi everyone. I've built one of the early 3A versions of this project several years ago. Its has worked very well after making the upgrades recommended by Liquibyte and audioguru (Thanks very much). I am planning to build a 5A version with a few additions of my own. I have added an arduino NANO which will measure and display AMPS and VOLTS, a cooling fan control which uses 2 CPU fans and heatsinks to cool output transistors, a bar graph display for current limit setting, buzzer for current limit warning and a relay to enable/disable power supply output. Using the output relay avoids needing the soft start delay to avoid the output transients and can disable outputs with press of a button. I've attached schematics of my current version for anyone interested. After seeing design by Imester using 2 transformers to step up or down the output voltage, I would like to integrate something similar into my design using 2 12V center tapped transformers instead of a single 24V. Could easily use arduino and relays to control which transformer secondary windings to use depending on Volt Adj pot setting. Does the opamps need their own separate supply voltage for this to work properly or could it simply use Vin as it does now? Any ideas and suggestions for a dual transformer setup or the overall design are welcome. power supply 30V 5A v5 page2.pdf power supply 30V 5A v5.pdf

Submitted Abstract
Social and technological transformations for sustainable development often involve trade-offs, value conflicts and hard choices, which we are confronted with as individuals or groups. Tough decisions have to be made on complex issues fraught with uncertainties and uncomfortable knowledge. This set of seven public lectures is designed to equip for better understanding and acting in the face of complexity and interdependencies of the natural and social world. All lectures are organised to speak to three key dimensions of sustainability challenges:•How do we know what are the relevant facts and why should we accept their advice?•Who are the various 'we', and how can we take account of divergent interests and expertise?•How can we better manage complexities emerging from interconnection of the social and material phenomena, local and global interconnectedness, interdependencies and inequalities and reconcile tensions and contradictions?The first three lectures address in turn the topics of water quality and equity; the requisites of sustainable farm systems, and sustainable energy production and use. The subsequent four lectures explore models to conceptualise socio-technological transitions for sustainable development, tools to handle value conflicts and reveal values underlying diverse claims on science, approaches to legitimating knowledge that might become subject to controversy, and the changing role of science in society – or scientists and citizens having to take a stance on competing claims to science.
