" JAKARTA: The firm is expanding in an effort to build a global brand and spread investment risks.

Tata Power, India's second-biggest utility by sales, agreed to pay $1.3 billion for a 30 percent stake in two coal mining units in Indonesia to secure supplies of the fuel.

Bumi Resources, Asia's third-largest coal miner, will sell stakes in Kaltim Prima Coal and Arutmin Indonesia, Dileep Srivastava, Bumi's head of investor relations, said Saturday.

The company's chairman, Ratan Tata, is expanding the group's 96 companies, which control about a 3 percent share of India's $854 billion economy, to build a global brand and spread investment risks. Analysts say the latest buy, aimed at securing coal supplies, maybe expensive for a company with a profit of $222 million.

"Tata Power is clearly overpaying," said Madhukar Sheth, a stock trader at Amax Network in Mumbai. "The current valuations suggest that the investment will yield about 5 percent return, which is nothing in an inflationary economy like Indonesia's. Tata Power stock may not react favorably..."


ZHANG YIN

" “Make way for the Big Momma of the Billionaires’ Club,” says the Daily Express. The Big Momma in question is Zhang Yin, a 49-year-old paper recycler who has just emerged not only as the richest entrepreneur in China, but also as the wealthiest self-made woman in the world. According to the Hurun Report rich list, Zhang, despite being almost unknown in the wider world, has suddenly arrived at the top of the list with a net worth of $3.4bn. Many of China’s new entrepreneurs keep a low profile, but Zhang is in a class of her own when it comes to elusiveness. “Even her name is the subject of some contention” – she’s known to many as Cheung Yan. Short-haired, simply dressed and slightly stocky, she was ranked 36th on last year’s list, with her leap in fortune being down to the public listing of her firm, Nine Dragons Paper, in Hong Kong in March..."


CARLOS SLIM

"...By age 12, he had moved on to trading stocks and bonds. Before turning 30, he owned a soft-drink company and a stock brokerage. Now, at 67, Slim is the world's second-richest man and is closing quickly on Bill Gates, according to Forbes magazine's most recent rankings. Slim's business empire stretches from Mexico to the United States - it includes major stakes in companies such as CompUSA and Saks Fifth Avenue - yet most Americans have never heard of him.

Slim accumulated his $53.1 billion fortune by collecting companies in much the same way he did baseball cards. He searches for businesses that are undervalued, infuses them with cash and uses the size of his holdings to overwhelm the competition. He now owns stakes in more than 220 businesses but says he has never forgotten the lessons of his youth...

"It's hard to live a day without buying one of his products," Sandra Morales, 31, said as she ate lunch in the Plaza Insurgentes shopping center - a property owned by Slim - in Mexico City. "He's so rich and powerful and in a country where there are so many poor." ..."

EXP 2 - Image of both working spaces














Although not shown in previous images, they are merely connected together by a simple platform between the main space of Nightingale and Hawking's. This lack of emphasis on that particular ramp is due to the fact that the electroliquid agreggation quote depicts contrasting viewpoints and ideas from both clients. The mere link between the two is that they contributed to science.

EXP 2 - Florence Nightingale space - Images














The space on the left hand side of the image is the main working space of Florence Nightingale. As suggested in this particular image, and shown below, the space is circular - spherical like. This shape symbolises the notion of unity - bringing ur closer to God - something Florence Nightingale made allusion to.















A ramp was created to connect the main space to minor working spaces [located "higher" up]. This is meant to suggest this idea of getting closer to the Kingdom of Heaven (Hence the escalation...and escalation towards the skies).



EXP 2 - Stephen Hawking space - Images














This is the "entrance" of Stephen Hawking's space, its structure (mainly rectangular blocks and prism), as well as the surrounding ones, reflect the idea of 'structure', subtly suggesting a sense of order - as stated in the electroliquid agreggation quote.














This idea is further emphasised in the 'not so complex' looking interior. The access ramp to the roof is itself very simple.















The access ramp to the top, viewed from above, demonstrates that the space surrounding it is 'clean cut', reflecting a sense of order, not of chaos.

Electroliquid Aggregation Quote - Re-worked for final design

"The discipline of science embodies a sense of logical order and structure, whereas Mysticism has been wrongfully chosen to define Heaven as 'neither a place nor a time'...in fact, Heaven itself enables us to identify, represent and interpret It in any way we feel is right..."

Quote created through Stephen Hawking and Florence Nightingale's quotes.

Electroliquid Aggregation Quote - First Attempt

"The Kingdom of Heaven draws near God, where ceremonies are inspired by history, whereby divinely attempting to underline the gradual order of science in an arbitrary mystic manner"

This quote has been derived from Stephen Hawking and Florence Nightingale's quotes.
