Plans are moving forward for an ambitious “data center village” in Scotland that eventually could span 3 million square feet of space and cost 1 billion pounds ($1.9 billion) to complete. Internet Villages International is the brainchild of Peter Hewkin, who says the project has initial funding of 26 million pounds ($50 million). The project was originally targeted for Lockerbie, Scotland upon its announcement in December , but Hewkin and IVI are now focusing their efforts on a 300-acre plot of farmland in Annandale. The Lockerbie site was found to have an ethylene pipeline network running through portions of the property.

How to Make Accurate Time Estimates
Many people are really bad at estimating how much time a task will take. Perhaps you estimate you’ll need about an hour, and it really takes you 3-4 hours to finish. Or maybe you allocate 30 minutes for a task, and you’re done in 5 minutes. What can you do to get better at making accurate estimates? Make a to-do list of upcoming tasks to complete, and jot down an off-the-cuff estimate for how long you expect each task to take. As you complete each task, record the time you actually spend on each one.

Companies defend use of strategic thinkers : The futurologist is in - International Herald Tribune
LONDON— In 1998, after 17 years with the function-oriented electronics company Motorola Inc., Kenny Hirschhorn landed himself a job at the young and snappy British cell-phone company Orange PLC, where he took on the new-economy title of director of imagineering and futurology. Despite its Disney-esque name — devised by Hirschhorn and his boss, Hans Snook — it was a real job, with responsibilities in strategic development and research. But late last year, Hirschhorn saw a different future and left the company.
In Futurologist's Musings
Today's most commonly-used word to describe someone who analayses trends that are likely to have a significiant impact on the future is ' futurist ' but 60 years ago the first term coined for such a person was 'futurologist' (see third column on this page). Facebook seems to be eclipsing even Google as the 'go-to' internet site, but have you noticed that Google is now getting smarter by the day? Read The Awkening Global Brain to see what's going on.If you could see your future, would you try to make it better? If you were a Soviet in 1980 and you knew that spiraling debt would destroy your country, would you do something to stop it? If you were a German in 1933 and knew that the Decree of the Reich President for the Protection of People and State would lead to a world war, tens of millions of deaths, and the leveling of your nation, would you oppose it? Its safe to assume that we would all say yes to these questions.

Teaching - find jobs, careers & courses to become a Teacher - TDA
The Department is rationalising the number of websites it owns, and migrating content onto this site. All required content from Teachernet, Governornet and the Standards Site has been migrated onto this site. Redirects have been put in place to help you find the appropriate sections of content. These sites have been archived onto the Government Web Archive, based at the National Archives . All required content from Teachernet, Governornet and the Standards site can now be found in the schools section of the Department’s website.
Unfortunately this version of the site did not quite go to plan! As you may be aware the graphs and data on the site died a couple of years ago. I got involved in a couple of other interesting projects and these have shown me some lovely open source tools for managing the large volumes of data that are in this site. We plan to start work on the new version in the next couple of weeks and expect to have a new version of the site up and running in the summer.
