Previous winners of the McLaren category impressed judges so much that they were offered permanent positions at the company’s world-renowned global headquarters in Woking, Surrey.
Judging the McLaren category are Paul Arkesden, Head of Engineering for McLaren Special Operations (MSO) responsible for product development at McLaren’s bespoke operation; Simon Lacey, Head of Advance Engineering for McLaren Automotive, who creates and develops game-changing technology for future cars; and Dr Caroline Hargrove, Technical Director for McLaren Applied Technologies, McLaren Automotive’s sister-company within the McLaren Group, that helped to develop the hybrid powertrain of the McLaren P1™.
Full details of how to enter the McLaren Automotive category of the 2018 Telegraph UK STEM awards will be published in The Sunday Telegraph on October 1 and on the Telegraph website at www.telegraph.co.uk/STEMawards.
After the February 19, 2018, closing date for submissions , the trio of McLaren judges will shortlist up to five of the best entries based on what they feel are the most creative and innovative ideas that meet the challenge. Those who make it through Paul, Simon and Caroline’s expert scrutiny will then be invited to the McLaren Production Centre in Woking, Surrey, where the company designs, develops and hand-assembles its cars to present their ideas in person. After that they will get an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour to see at first-hand the work of some of the company’s 2,100 strong workforce.
McLaren’s involvement in the Awards is part of its long-term commitment to encourage the uptake of STEM subjects. That commitment includes a network of McLaren STEM Ambassadors who regularly visit schools, colleges and science fairs, as well as support for schemes that reach younger age-groups, such as the recent BBC Live Lesson on physical forces that was broadcast live from the McLaren Technology Centre to primary schools across the UK.
Mike Flewitt, Chief Executive Officer of McLaren Automotive said: “We’re delighted to support the STEM Awards and for McLaren Automotive to back the automotive technology category. Our judges have set students a challenge that is both stretching and exciting but also one that is very relevant to a forward-thinking company like ours that is about creating the ultimate driving experience and enabling that through the clever deployment of technology,” .
The cold, dry winter months can destroy your skin, leaving it irritated, cracked, itchy and thirsty for moisture. Sometimes, it seems like no amount of moisturizer or fancy oils can save it. That’s where humidifiers come in.
So, we know humidifiers are a great way to keep our skin happy. But we still have questions.

Rick (Anderson) is a calm and intelligent, 35-year old professional private detective and manager of the detective agency while Allen (Tombs) is a 19-year old, reformed delinquent trained by Rick, who is “short-tempered and violent when angry”.
An evil corporation known as the Legacy organization, kidnapped the daughter of a mid-aged rich man and left him a letter explaining why they kidnapped her. One night, before Rick and Allen were about to close their office, the mid-aged rich man, rushed inside the office asking for support on saving his daughter and gave them a letter.
The next day, Allen notices an advertisement in the classifieds with similar sentence structure to the letter left by the kidnappers. Rick couldn’t understand it, until Allen told him to look cautiously at both. The writing was actually a secret code, only understood by certain crime lords, so Rick and Allen struggled toward the main base of the Legacy organisation to find the truth and save the kidnapped daughter.
Players One and Two start with the two selectable protagonists, Rick and Allen. Each private detective uses different fighting styles, attempt to solve cases by beating up each criminal they encounter. Lots of special items can be found by throwing enemies into the background and breaking things, typical of this popular genre in the 1990s arcades.
Along the way they are harangued by all manner of thugs and toughs, whose costumes range from 1980s hip-hop wear to stereotypical pirates. The bosses are tough by way of strange special attacks.

It is a pleasure to be with you at the International Solar Alliance (ISA) Forum. I bring to you greetings from the United Nations Secretary-General Mr. António Guterres, who attended the first meeting of the General Assembly of the International Solar Alliance in October 2018. The Secretary-General welcomes this important initiative spearheaded by India and France, which are also founding members of UN-ESCAP since March 1947.
At the outset, I wish to commend the Government of India under the leadership of the Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi for co-launching the International Solar Alliance at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris in 2015. India has a major role to play. Its experience gives us a historical opportunity to shape best practices in solar energy for our region and reduce carbon emissions.
In Asia and the Pacific, the countries are undergoing significant changes due to its economic dynamism, energy consumption and fuel mix. As economic opportunities expand, along with increasing rates of urban development and diversified economic sector, it impacts patterns and intensity of energy consumption.
Currently, the Asia-Pacific regional growth of carbon dioxide emissions from fuel combustion stands at more than double the world level, and carbon intensity of energy increased by 7.5 per cent for the region, compared to the 11.8 per cent globally, over the past twenty-five years.
Climate change, pollution, resource depletion and environmental concerns are driving a shift to more sustainable forms of energy. Our continued future on the planet depends on our ability to decarbonize our economies significantly by the end of the century. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development reflects the pivotal role of energy in sustainable development through SDG 7, which focuses on to ‘ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all’.
Solar energy will play a major part in contributing to these objectives. It is a key opportunity we must seize – for low carbon development, energy security and extreme poverty alleviation by 2030. Solar power holds great promise to bring clean and emissions-free energy. The developing countries of Asia and the Pacific are located in the “sunbelt” with abundant solar energy resources. India’s leadership has captured this potential in its ambition for “one world, one sun, one grid”.
There is a recognition of the transformative potential of solar energy in realizing SDG 7. It can boost the renewable energy share in our power mix, increase energy efficiency by offsetting the use of inefficient power generation technologies and bring electricity to remote parts of the region, in synchronization with the development of the economy.
Today, let me take this opportunity by outlining for your consideration two specific matters in which the International Solar Alliance framework can be further positioned as a key intergovernmental solution on accelerating the achievement of SDG 7.
Firstly, I welcome the continued engagement of the International Solar Alliance maximizing the potential of Sunbelt countries to tap into this energy source of the future. However, nurturing a national solar industry is complex, involving financing, policy frameworks, technology, skills and planning. I hope that the International Solar Alliance, by increasing access to solar finance, lowering the cost of technology and building the solar skills of administrators, engineers and planners, can play a strong supporting role in realizing the welfare benefits of solar energy for our economies.
Secondly, I also recognize the importance of the International Solar Alliance, as an intergovernmental platform, in strengthening the value of multilateralism in addressing emerging challenges. UN-ESCAP, through its regional intergovernmental platform, is also working to advance progress on SDG 7 through our policy-oriented analytical work and through fostering result-based dialogue and regional cooperation. We also work with our 53 member and 9 associate members maximize the potential to adopt sustainable energy through technical assistance and capacity building. I am confident that the Vibrant Gujarat 2019 Global Summit can pave the way forward on shaping a new partnership between our organizations.
In conclusion, at UN-ESCAP, we are focused on supporting our member States to leverage regional energy connectivity for the achievement of the SDGs by successful sharing policy experiences and technical knowledge.
Together, with our common 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, we must seize the opportunity to foster regional cooperation to ensure sustained level of progress, prosperity and peace for all.

Commissioners: Felipe González, Tracy Robinson, Paulo Vannuchi, Emilio Álvarez Icaza Longoria (Executive Secretary), Elizabeth Abi-Mershed (Assistant Executive Secretary). Petitioners: Patriotic Union State: Colombia Petitioners representing the labor group Patriotic Union (Unión Patriótica) came before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), accusing the government of Colombia of systematic political persecution and violence directed towards their organization. At the March 24 hearing, the petitioners described a continued and concentrated effort by Colombian officials to subvert the political influence of the Patriotic Union. Petitioners articulated that since 1984, forces acting under the aegis of state authority perpetrated murders, physical assaults, forced disappearances, and assassinations against some 6,500 individuals associated with the Patriotic Union. By cross-referencing data from elections beginning in 1986 and incidences of violence, Petitioners argued that the stronger representation the Patriotic Union maintained in seats of local and regional government, the more reprisals they faced. Petitioners voiced their frustration with the failure of a friendly settlement attempt, lasting from 1992 to 2004, citing the government’s waffling over the number of victims as the main reason for the breakdown in negotiations. Describing the attacks on the Political Union as genocidal, petitioners implored the Commission to assign responsibility for the violations of the OAS Charter and regional human rights instruments to the Colombian government. In response, representatives of the Colombian government expressed concern over the alleged activities and emphasized the need for harmony between the Colombian government and civil society. Making clear that Colombia is undergoing a great time of change, representatives of the government attempted to assuage the Patriotic Union and the Commissions concerns by expressing Colombia’s rejection of political violence. ‘Without question acts such as these should not take place,’ said Colombia’s ambassador to the Commission. ‘Our government would like to break with the past. Let’s reach out.’ The government emphasized that the past violence in Colombia must be recognized and that it would be the best interest of all parties if the dead friendly settlement talks were resuscitated under new conditions, including a reevaluation of the identified victims list. The Commission expressed concern over the amount of political violence taking place in Colombian, but was optimistic about prospect for a peaceful resolution of the conflict. Commissioner Tracy Robinson inquired if there was a chance for friendly settlement talks to restart, while Commissioner Felipe Gonzalez requested an explication of the design and nature of the systematic persecution brought by petitioners.

LONDON – Now on Facebook: Your garbage.
Five households have signed up for a Newcastle University program announced Wednesday that puts photographs of every item placed in a garbage can on Facebook in a bid to raise consciousness about recycling efforts.
It uses a sensor and a camera phone to record the image each time the garbage can lid is shut. The person who does that is not photographed.
Households that participate will be rated on how efficiently they recycle.
"Normally when you throw something away and the lid goes down you forget about it -- out of sight out of mind -- and that's the end of it," said Anja Thieme, one of the postgraduate students in charge of the project. "But the reality could not be further from the truth. Waste has a massive environmental impact."
She said the program is not designed to humiliate people who recycle poorly but to make people reflect on how they dispose of waste.
Early results are encouraging, researchers said, as the amount of garbage thrown away and not recycled has diminished in the weeks since the program began.
But the privacy advocacy group Big Brother Watch is raising concerns about the pilot project.
"This sounds like an elaborate joke -- except it isn't," said director Daniel Hamilton. "Encouraging recycling is fine but publicly humiliating those who choose not to is outrageous."
He said he would not be surprised if some local councils in England start similar programs.
The project is aimed at young people whose attitudes about sustainability are still being formed.

The financing you're able to secure can determine whether you get to drive home to Marion and Abingdon in the car you want, or whether you're forced to make a compromise. Many people struggle to understand the intricacies of the finance process. Toyota of Bristol can help with that.
Our team fields a range of different questions about vehicle financing. Here are a few of the questions we most commonly hear from our customers in Johnson City and Kingsport.

We'll also need your social security number, so we can gain access to your credit history. This information, of course, will be handled safely.
Will bad credit limit my options? While a history of troubled credit can make it more difficult to secure financing, it doesn't mean you'll have no options whatsoever. Our finance team works with a wide network of lenders, and we'll do our best to find you an affordable offer that suits your needs.
When should I consider a lease? Leasing has been growing more common and popular over the years. While buying a car in the traditional fashion has some definite long term benefits, it might be worth it to lease if you need a new car with lower payments right now.

We'd love the chance to speak with you. We also offer an online finance application if you want to get the ball rolling from home.

Cambridge’s Dimple Creation procedure aims to create natural-looking dimples through a simple and minimally-invasive surgery.
Our experienced doctor first analyses the patient’s facial structure to determine the ideal position of the dimple. After marking it out, an incision is made on the inside of the cheek, and a tiny section of muscles and fats are removed. The incision is then stitched together with suture threads that dissolve in a matter of days.
The procedure is generally completed in less than an hour, with minimal swelling.
