widget: NEW DELHI: In a country known for conformity, Yusaku Maezawa has always sought to stand out.He skipped college, moved to California to play in a rock band and started his own e-commerce company. After making it big, the 42-year-old started dropping hundreds of millions of dollars on artwork. Now the billionaire founder of Start Today Co. is set to become the first paying passenger to the moon on a SpaceX rocket scheduled to blast off in 2023. Itâs the latest headline-grabbing project by Maezawa, whose Twitter handle is @yousuck2020.While Maezawa is relatively unknown outside the archipelago and the art world, heâs guaranteed to become more famous with his plan to fly to Earthâs biggest satellite with a cabal of artists. A self-professed art lover, the Japanese entrepreneur intends to take a combination of painters, musicians, dancers, photographers, film directors, fashion designers and architects on a week-long lunar loop, where heâll get to watch as they get inspired and create art along the way.âI thought long and hard about how valuable it would be to be the first passenger to the moon,â? Maezawa said at an announcement at Space Exploration Technologies Corp.âs headquarters in Hawthorne, California, sitting next to the rocket companyâs CEO, Elon Musk. âI choose to go to the moon with artists.â?The flight around the moon is a marriage of Maezawaâs diverse interests: to be a visionary, to support art and to promote his company. Taking the enormous personal risk of orbiting the moon as the first private citizen would cement him in history books. Maezawa said he hopes the art created during the trip will inspire more interest and support for artists. Maezawa and Musk declined to say how much the lunar trip would cost.âThis is not us choosing him,â? Musk said. âHe chose us. He is a very brave person to do this.â?Maezawa made a name and fortune for himself by defying the norms of Japanese society. A former drummer in a rock band, he built shopping website Zozotown, a popular destination for younger consumers, from a mail-order music album business.With a net worth of $2.3 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Maezawa made a splash in the art world in 2017 when he spent $110.5 million on a single Jean-Michel Basquiat painting at a Sothebyâs auction, setting a record for an American artistâs work at the time. By then, Maezawa had already bought several Basquiat pieces.Maezawa has funded his art binge by selling shares in the company he founded. He sold about $250 million worth of stock in 2016 and used most of it to add to his art collection over the following two years. In May, Start Today said he had sold about 23 billion yen ($205 million) worth of the companyâs shares. He has not announced major art purchases so far this year, suggesting at least some of the funds may have been used to participate in Muskâs mission.âI love art, so I want to see what artists will collaborate on together and, WASHINGTON: Three major Indian IT companies â Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services and Wipro â have joined US President Barack Obama's ambitious 'computer science for all' initiative as part of a public-private collaboration, pledging thousands of dollars in grants.  Obama announced his 'Computer Sciences for All' plan in his weekly address on Saturday as he emphasized on the need for teaching the subject as a "basic skill" to all children across schools in the country in a changing economy.  While Infosys has pledged a $1 million in donation, Tata Consultancy Services is providing support in the form of grants to teachers in 27 US cities, the White House said in a fact sheet, also issued on Saturday.  Wipro announced a $2.8 million grant for multi-year project in partnership with the Michigan University to involve over a hundred school teachers, with the aim of nurturing excellence in science and mathematics.  This would start with the public school systems of Chicago, Obama's hometown.  According to White House, the TCS and Infosys pledge is part of the National Science Foundation's (NSF) effort to collaborate with the private sector to support high-school CS teachers.  "Infosys Foundation USA will be a founding member of this public-private collaboration with a $1 million philanthropic donation, and, as an initial participant, Tata Consultancy Services is providing additional support in the form of grants to teachers in 27 US cities.  "This collaboration will ultimately provide opportunities for as many as 2,000 middle- and high-school teachers to deepen their understanding of CS," said the White House.  A joint Wipro and Michigan University statement said the Wipro STEM Fellowship Programme will focus on building leadership in these disciplines in urban schools by leveraging on research validated expertise of the College of Education at the university in designing transformative and innovative instructional experiences.  Wipro's initiative is aligned with the US national goal to significantly improve the quality of education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), it said.  "Wipro is committed to being an involved participant in its communities. This initiative seeks to develop and inspire young people to contribute to excellence in STEM education," said T K Kurien, chief executive officer and Member of the Board, Wipro Ltd.  "There is a critical shortage of excellent math and science teachers nationwide and even more so in urban school districts," said project co-leader Sonya Gunnings-Moton, assistant dean in the College of Education, Michigan State University.  Aarti Dhupelia, chief officer of College and Career Success at Chicago Public Schools said this partnership with Wipro and Michigan State University that will have a transformational impact in classrooms and communities., When 21-year-old Sriram Srikant started nurturing dreams of making it to Harvard a couple of years back, he believed that he could achieve his dream. It would, however, require a great deal of initiative , dedication and work on the part of the IIT graduate in order to ultimately fulfil what he set out to achieve. âIâve always loved studying biology, and opted for the subject in class XI as one of my majors, in addition to physics and chemistry. As I began studying the sciences, I decided that it was time that I started narrowing down my interests within biology itself,â? says Srikant. It was while at the IIT that he could pin-point where his interest lay. âIn the course of narrowing down my interests to a focal point, I realised that I wanted to study more about sub-cellular mechanics,â? says Srikant. His interests then paved the way for an entry into Harvard widely considered as the pinnacle of higher education â where Sriram will pursue a PhD programme in engineering and physical biology on a scholarship offered by the department of molecular and cellular biology. The five-and-a-half year programme, which includes guaranteed funding for Sriramâs research project and a qualifying examination, will complement his interest . âIn a way, the programme strikes a chord with my interests,â? he says. âEngineering and physical biology focuses on integrating quantitative sciences like physics and mathematics with the more qualitative and traditional sciences like biology and chemistry.â? Incidentally, Sriram is the only Indian to be admitted into the prestigious programme this academic year. The Harvard scholar now has his sights trained on research and academia. He would love to be a professor and teach at a college. He says, âResearch is also one of my many interests; so I would spend a few years in a research programme and then begin to teach.â?, Rannvijay Singh Singha sure can't live without his dose of action. And it's not just stunts that he craves for. His real passion is biking. ""Biking is not just a hobby for me, it's my passion.  I live for the adrenaline rush. I often hear people crib that they have no time to pursue their interests. But I just don't agree with it. When you enjoy something it's not a chore. If I am travelling to Karjat for a shoot then I send my stuff in a car and ride to the location."" Akshaye Khanna (TOI Photo) More picsHe loves to cook in his spare time. Besides acting and celebrating bachelorhood guess what Akshaye Khannaâs hobby is? He loves to cook in his spare time. And his favourite shows on TV these days are cookery shows from across the world. Although I donât know much about cooking, I keep watching the cookery shows to know more about it, he smiles. We wonder why this sudden interest in cookery. Is the bachelor boy finally getting hooked and booked?, PANAJI: Come mid-November, and it's not uncommon to see a bridge being painted, streets being done up and buildings receiving their much-needed fresh coats of paint. Closer to November-end and the Entertainment Society of Goa (ESG) complex turns into a hub of activity. From festive lights and chattering delegates to a buzzing street and a variety of food stalls, they're all there. It then dawns on you that it's that time of the year again, when movie aficionados will soon be glancing through their film screening schedules, journalists prioritizing which press conferences to attend and casual passersby taking time out to walk the bedecked corniche or savouring some of those kebabs that sell like they wouldn't at any other time of the year. There are, of course, the ever-enthusiastic bunch of film students that descend upon Goa and the delegates-national and international-who hobnob with each other, making sure they don't miss out on the good movies. With a selection of 300 films from 61 countries to be screened at 11 theatres, the international film festival of India is here again. And better than ever, it seems. "Iffi this year could well be the best film festival Goa's ever seen," says organizing committee member Raju Nayak. "With five years of experience, ESG has ensured that Iffi 2010 is going to be more professional and systematic than in the previous years," he adds. ESG CEO Manoj Srivastava agrees. "This year's film festival aims at discipline in management, a professional attitude and less of ad-hocism. The entire effort is to manage Iffi efficiently and in a seamless manner rather than try to incorporate new things into each passing festival."The street across the ESG, too, is as noisy as it is nice. Walking along the corniche, one can sample some Bombay bhel puri, or perhaps some Mysore gobi Manchurian or American corn and then wash it down with some Nasik ice gola. They're all bursting with enthusiasm and ready for business. If one's not in the mood for food, one could just walk the lit-up street and pity the fish meekly peeking at you from an aquarium or stare in horror at an intimidating big black gorilla. "I've decided that this year around, the street will be decorated with scenes of different famous films like the Titanic or Batman. There will also be an underwater aquarium," says the brain behind the spruced-up corniche and a member of the organizing committee Francisco Martins. Martins, who says work commenced just ten days ago, admits that though it's the eve of Iffi, work is not yet complete. However, he is confident of pulling it all together by Monday noon.On that note, lets draw up a checklist. Food stalls? check. Delegates aplenty? check. A street that makes one feel like they've stepped into a movie set? check. That unmistakable animated buzz? check. Lights? check. And of course, cameras and lots of action.
