However, humans suffer from a set of biases that are likely to obstruct innovations at organizational and national level. In his book, Thinking Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman outlined a set of biases in thinking which included biases related to rules of thumb, statistical errors, and misconceptions. I argue that these Fed Cup problems in thinking are likely to obstruct innovation for individuals and organizations. Human brain is a device for pattern recognition that employs two distinct systems for cognition; i.e., one system that is characterized as intuitive and fast while the other system is slow and applies scientific reasoning. The key message is to train human mind to avoid common mistakes and flaws due to the laziness in applying critical and statistical thinking. Most people are impatient and do not devote adequate attention to think through problems. Instead, peoples accept rules of thumb which are not scientifically-founded. For example, explaining corrections or causality between education, income and innovation, as in the case of Beethoven, Bill Gates, and Steve One of the courts that Jobs may be explained in statistics as Outliers and regression towards will host the competition the mean. In other words, the few billionaires who are college drop- matches outs do not explain the fact that education is a key factor for fostering progress and economic development. Some of the human biases include that we fail to calculate sums but base our judgments on average; we over-estimate the probability of unlikely events; we make decisions based on small sample size; we are likely to be affetecd by frequent news or events and social media; we overlook logic in favor of a possible story; we think that we understand the past and hence we suffer from Manama in coordination with Bahrain New Zealand, Oman, Pacific hindisght illusion; we overlook statistical reasoing, uncertainty, and rganisational preparations of Olympic Committee, the Ministry Oceania, Pakistan, Philippines, risks and favor our gut feelings; we make decisions based on optimal Fed Cup by BNP Paribas have of Youth and Sports Affairs, the Singapore, Sri Lanka, Malaysia scenario and face the planning falacy; we work harder to avoid loss than beenO concluded with Bahrain all set Ministry of Interior and other and Uzbekistan. to achive gain; and our memory overrides our experience and hence we to become the first country to host governmental entities involved in The participating countries’ remember only how the experience ends. this prestigious event in the region, organising this contest. delegations are expected to begin Explaining the root causes for developing an innovative organization designed for the second group of “The main courts, as well arriving in Bahrain today, where like talabat.com or Ali-baba or an innovative nation like Finland Asian distaff tennis players. as the training courts, are now they will be accommodated in the or Singapore, requires a statistical mind that looks at the culture To be organised by Bahrain ready to embrace the event.

If your lifestyle is considerably different than that of others, resist feeling self-conscience (Apr 21st - May 21st) about it today. Try to remember that you chose the life you have for specific reasons. Even if you’ve come to a point where you’re considering a change, there’s no need to feel badly, ashamed, or embarrassed about where you are now. An enhanced feeling of determination could (May 22nd - Jun 21st) motivate you today. Finish the things that aren’t complete and make some plans for this evening. Don’t hesitate to take on something that feels complicated or big. Chances are you’ll be able to handle most anything and it will feel great when it’s finished. Enjoy your day by making the most of opportunity. Feeling the effects of today’s energies? Take (June 22nd - July 23rd) heart if this is the case, because the end of the tunnel isn’t as far away as it seems.

R BEETLE BAILEY (Sep 24th - Oct 23rd) Friends seeking advice or a shoulder to cry on could be plentiful today. You’re one of best people to give them the support and care they need. Just be sure that you don’t give so much to others that you don’t have anything left for yourself. True friendship is about sharing and the exchange of problems and help.

Your attitude can have a profound effect on friends, partners, spouses, and children. Even neighbours and extended family can pick up on your spirit without you even realizing it. Share your optimism with everyone you can today. (Jan 21st - Feb 19th) Don’t discount your ability to be extremely resourceful if you need to be. If you don’t have everything you need or all of the required information, take time to think. Who can you ask? What places can you access? Who might know where you can find what you need? Rather than panic because the pieces aren’t all there, instead make a list of contacts. Try not to let today’s blues get you down. While (Feb 20th - Mar 20th) it’s true that some days can seem to drag on, the busier you are the faster time will pass.

Picture for representative purpose only SPORTS Sunday, February 4, 2018 21 India lift U-19 World Cup India beat Australia by Mount Maunganui, New Zealand 8 wickets, become the ndia lifted a record fourth U-19 World Cup trophy after an eight-wicket rout of Australia first country to win the inI the final yesterday, underlining their dominant title for the fourth time run in the tournament and giving Rahul Dravid the biggest success of his coaching career. As it has been the case through out the tournament, India had all their bases covered with bowlers bouncing back to dismiss Australia for 216 from 183 for four at one stage. The highly-rated batting, barring a minor blip, completed the job with conviction as India chased down the modest target in 38.5 overs. India’s Manjot Kalra emerged as the man for big occasion, scoring a sublime 101 not out off 102 balls and anchoring the innings after the loss of skipper Prithvi Shaw and team’s leading scorer in the tournament, Shubman Gil. With a fourth crown, India surpassed Australia in the race of most U-19 World Cup titles. Prior to the final, India and Australia were locked at three titles each. The team’s performance was also a fitting tribute to coach Dravid, who finally got his hands on a World Cup trophy. Under Dravid, the side had finished runner-up in the 2016 edition in Bangladesh. India’s previous title came in Australia six years ago when the Unmukt Chand-led team beat the hosts in the final. BRIEF SCORE The Virat Kohli-led side was victorious in 2008 India Under-19 217 for 2 (Kalra and Mohammed Kaif was captain when India 101*, Desai 47*, Gill 31) beat triumphed way back in 2000.
