Well, this sounds risky. After years of discussion, it's clear that businessman Clive Palmer will never let go of his dreams for a real-life Titanic II: it's officially setting sail in 2018. Plans were first announced for the Titanic II back in April 2012, around the 100-year anniversary of the tragedy. The timing was intentional: Titanic II will look just like its predecessor, offering the first-, second- and third-class booking options, plus some modern updates on the inside. However, this cruise will go from Jiangsu, China, to Dubai, instead of across the Atlantic. Palmer's company, the Blue Star Line (a nod to the White Star Line,...

A national campaign has launched to curb binge drinking among teenagers and young adults.
Created by Brisbane agency Decoder in the style of gig posters, the ’Cringe the binge’ campaign tackles some of the outcomes of binge drinking, such as sexually transmitted diseases, adolescent brain development, alcohol–fuelled sexual violence, social embarrassment and mental health issues.
The posters will run in gig guides, on street media, t-shirts and online, initially to promote a Weekend of Action starting on 9 November.
Decoder CD Ken Roney: “The media budget was limited so the idea needed to work pretty hard and engage with young people at a level that wasn’t preachy. 13 to 24 year olds is quite a broad audience but the common dominator is that all young people are into music. So we thought band posters was a nice way to reach them when they were drinking and educate them about the serious downsides of binge drinking.

Professor Andrew Hargadon believes energy efficiency can be sexy -- and he's winning fans at Chevron, Samsung, and Wal-Mart, and in Silicon Valley.
The United States generates more energy than any other country in the world -- and wastes more than half of it. Efficiency, it turns out, can be a rich resource. In an unassuming strip mall off I-80 in California's Central Valley, those riches are being exploited by a kind of alchemy that combines science with business. Efficient technologies, from sensor-equipped Led lighting to smart electric meters, are flowing at a brisk pace out of labs, attracting capital from Goldman Sachs and Silicon Valley VCs, and support from the likes of Wal-Mart, Chevron, Samsung, and California's major utilities. "In the course of an afternoon, quite literally in this room," says Andrew Hargadon, a business professor at the University of California at Davis, "we've been able to introduce entrepreneurs...
