Boston Hop on Hop off Tours
Boston Hop on Hop off Tours at a 'cruise visit' to Boston. Walked the 0.2 miles to Old Trolley bus stop 18a where we we purchased tickets at the kiosk. Orange line serving the cruise ships is only going to stop 1.
We spent a day on the bus learning about and seeing Boston. It is an informative and fun way to visit Boston's many sites.
Trolley pickups are frequent and the driver took the time to point out all the history of Boston and other random knowledge.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Manchester is a city in the southern part of the U.S. state of New Hampshire. It is the most populous city in northern New England, an area comprising the states of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. As of the 2010 census the city had a population of 109,565, up slightly to 111,196 in a 2017 estimate. The combined Manchester-Nashua Metropolitan Area had a 2010 population of 400,721.Manchester is along with Nashua one of two seats of Hillsborough County, the state of New Hampshire's most populous. Manchester lies near the northern end of the Northeast megalopolis and straddles the banks of the Merrimack River. It was first named by the merchant and inventor Samuel Blodgett, namesake of Samuel Blodget Park and Blodget Street in the city's North End. His vision was to create a great industrial center similar to that of the original Manchester in England, which was the world's first industrialized city.Manchester often appears favorably in lists ranking the affordability and livability of U.S. cities, placing particularly high in small business climate, affordability, upward moblity, and education level.

Jon Kuniholm: Good Design by Design | Talks at Google
A search for examples of good design captures the usual suspects: logos; consumer products like chairs, faucets, and computer mice; storybook homes from the pages of architectural digest. Despite calls to action from many sides, meaningful and well-funded efforts at design in the public interest remain much more rare than they should be. And even those funded by foundations justifiably focus on the most pressing utilitarian goals: clean water, sanitation, and preventable and widespread disease. Significant problems for insignificant numbers of people remain in significant numbers. These medical orphans have been targets for policy encouraging drug development, with limited success. Where those who suffer from rare medical conditions are orphaned for want of a medical device, we have yet to see a policy solution. Here, I propose a slew of ways that governments, corporations and individuals might help to create an environment where solutions to such problems might be more likely, or even inevitable, through a spectrum of measures of varying degrees of difficulty. I invite you to help me add to this list, and to help us all to a future where these measures make competition for solutions to these neglected problems as fierce as it is for smartphones and automobiles.
Jonathan Kuniholm is the President and Founder of the Open Prosthetics Project, and the Founder of StumpworX, Inc., a startup focusing on prosthetic arm R&D. He served in the United States Marine Corps from 1997 to 2006, as a combat engineer officer and platoon commander for the 1st Marine Division in Operation Iraqi Freedom II. In 2006, he was honorably discharged after being wounded in combat and losing his right forearm. He is a Presidential appointee to the National Council on Disability, the microagency that drafted the ADA.

A Systems Approach to Fostering Innovation Ecosystems within Academic and Business Communities
Although startups are key to economic growth and job creation, many people—particularly students—have a negative attitude toward entrepreneurship. Fear of failure, constant uncertainty, and financial constraints combine with a lack of training in needed skills to discourage potential entrepreneurs.
In this webinar, Rajesh Nair, a visiting scholar at MIT's Tata Center, successful entrepreneur, and SDM alumnus, will describe a systems-based experiment conducted in India at small engineering colleges with no active entrepreneurship initiatives. This research addressed the following questions:
Is it possible to bring about a positive change in the average student's attitude toward entrepreneurship?
Can suitable ecosystems be created at colleges to provide nurturing environments in which entrepreneurship and innovation can flourish?
Nair will describe:
a specially designed experiential curriculum and training in innovation, fabrication, and entrepreneurship;
how students created new ventures by interacting with their local communities to validate problems for business opportunities, ideate solutions, and fabricate prototypes—in effect creating healthy entrepreneurship ecosystems within their academic institutions and surrounding communities;
how these strategies can be applied and adapted by other academic institutions; and
how students' attitudes toward entrepreneurship changed.

SUMMARY
=======
Barbados ( (listen) or ) is an island country in the Lesser Antilles of the West Indies, in the Caribbean region of North America. It is 34 kilometres (21 miles) in length and up to 23 km (14 mi) in width, covering an area of 432 km2 (167 sq mi). It is situated in the western area of the North Atlantic and 100 km (62 mi) east of the Windward Islands and the Caribbean Sea; therein, Barbados is east of the Windwards, part of the Lesser Antilles, roughly at 13°N of the equator. It is about 168 km (104 mi) east of both the countries of Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and 400 km (250 mi) north-east of Trinidad and Tobago. Barbados is outside the principal Atlantic hurricane belt. Its capital and largest city is Bridgetown.
Inhabited by Kalinago people since the 13th century, and prior to that by other Amerindians, Barbados was visited by Spanish navigators in the late 15th century and claimed for the Spanish Crown. It first appeared in a Spanish map in 1511. The Portuguese visited the island in 1536, but they left it unclaimed, with their only remnants being an introduction of wild hogs for a good supply of meat whenever the island was visited. An English ship, the Olive Blossom, arrived in Barbados in 1625; its men took possession of it in the name of King James I. In 1627, the first permanent settlers arrived from England, and it became an English and later British colony. As a wealthy sugar colony, it became an English centre of the African slave trade until that trade was outlawed in 1807, with final emancipation of slaves in Barbados occurring over a period of years from 1833.
On 30 November 1966, Barbados became an independent state and Commonwealth realm with the British monarch (currently Queen Elizabeth II) as hereditary head of state. It has a population of 284,996 people, predominantly of African descent. Despite being classified as an Atlantic island, Barbados is considered to be a part of the Caribbean, where it is ranked as a leading tourist destination. Forty percent of the tourists come from the UK, with the US and Canada making up the next large groups of visitors to the island.
