British High Commission organized the Capacity Building workshop in North Eastern states of India at Sanskriti, SVD House in Guwahati, 31 October and 2 November 2015. The workshop was funded from the Bilateral Programme budget, which included 50 participants from all over North-East. Some of the topics covered were on human rights, women rights in the North -East, democratic process in the north -east, project management, FCRA, etc. Follow us on Twitter @UKinIndia
CAPACITY BUILDING
“This workshop really provided a well-balanced approach to risk management, mitigation, and the various types of risks faced by organizations like ours in Pakistan. The workshop facilitator addressed the concepts in an accessible way, especially relevant for a matter that is being given little to no importance. I was also given the opportunity to speak on behalf of the Multan Electric Power Company Human Resources (HR) Department and apprise the audience on the company’s efforts in bringing positive changes. I urge all senior management to attend this workshop for their professional grooming.

(Pictured Above) Building Awareness on Risk Management in Power Distribution Companies: USAID Power Distribution Program in collaboration with the Pakistan Institute of Corporate Governance, organized a workshop on “Governance of Risk”, facilitated by Mr. Fuad Hashmi. Overseeing the risk oversight process typically falls under the jurisdiction of the Board of Directors which is also responsible for deciding the company’s business strategy and business model, determining and agreeing on the acceptable levels of risk that go with both. The workshop was designed for the Board members of both Multan Electric Power Company and Peshawar Electric Supply Company to understand the concepts of risk identification, assessment and treatment. The workshop was attended by Board members of both power distribution companies.
RAeS Cambridge Branch - Young Persons’ Lecture - 29th October 2015
Another capacity audience of over 350, many of them engineering students, filled the Cambridge University Engineering Department’s main auditorium on Thursday 29th October for the Cambridge Branch annual young persons’ lecture, this year held jointly with the Beds & Cambs Panel of the IMechE and the Cambridge Network of the IET. The main aim of this lecture is to inspire young people to consider a career in engineering.
The presentation - The Winning Formula in Formula 1 - Passion, Education & Dedication - was given by two young engineers from Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula 1, the current World Constructors’ Champions. Ian Greig, an aerodynamicist, and Alberto Verzeletti, a composites engineer, gave the packed audience a fascinating insight into the design, construction and testing of a successful Formula 1 car. The occasion was especially auspicious as just four days previously at the US Grand Prix Lewis Hamilton had become the first three-time British Formula 1 World Champion since Jackie Stewart in 1973. A one-third scale wind tunnel model of an earlier Formula 1 car was prominently displayed by Mercedes AMG in the lobby for the occasion, greatly adding to the atmosphere.
Ian and Alberto began by describing the fundamental need to integrate the competing and often conflicting requirements of aerodynamics, controls, vehicle dynamics and power train into the car’s design and the crucial need to achieve the optimum compromises. They emphasised the extensive use of CFD (computational fluid dynamics) in the design of the car, especially the extensive wind tunnel testing, before turning to the car’s suspension, braking, steering and tyres. Interestingly only the rear brakes are ‘brake-by-wire’, and only since 2014, while the front brakes and steering are still controlled mechanically. The role played by the engine and gearbox not only in supplying the car’s energy but also as part of its inherent structural strength led into an explanation of how various metal alloys and composites are used in the car’s construction. Particular attention is paid to driver safety which was graphically illustrated by film recordings of crash testing a car designed to withstand an impact up to 6g.
All these activities are governed by the FIA’s strict regulatory regime, with modified rules being introduced every year. With a new car being produced for each racing season the constant search for innovation in every engineering discipline was plainly evident. We were left in no doubt of the Mercedes AMG’s engineers’ enormous contribution in winning both drivers’ and constructors’ championships in the last two years as well as the palpable pressure to sustain that success. The lengthy Q&A and especially the students’ enthusiasm after the lecture was clear proof that the evening had been a huge success.

I now remember why I stopped having kids at the number three..... b/c I am at my maximum capacity for crazy! i can only incorporate so much activity in a day ;)
This is Lego... the cutest, bestest puppy on the planet. ... including my two puppies (and boy did i love Riley). he belongs to my BFF Amy, who is away for a couple days on business. It was hard enough that her mom had to come to care for all 4 kids, but she was sure the puppy would send grandma over the edge ;) so my friend Martha and I are sharing custody of Lego for a couple days.
OMG.... i love him. he really is the best behaved puppy i have ever seen. amy has done her research.... she has the puppy whisperer and she is using it as a guide to raise him. let me tell you....i've never seen so much discipline in a puppy! no poop or pee accidents. he sits and doesn't jump on people. he is just perfect. AND YET! i fogot that having a puppy is like having a baby.... you cannot be gone for long; you have to watch that they don't ingest small objects; you have to pay attention to their bowel habits; they need running time and sleeping time. I, for one, am happyily worn out. I would keep him tomorrow too, but Martha is demanding her turn ;) he is one loved puppy!!! Lo cannot keep her hands off him, and Viv has brushed him 400 times already :)
