There was a moment in my life where I felt I was failing in the most valuable areas of my life, my wellbeing, my business and most importantly as a mother.
Working with Laura, I gained my confidence back, I feel more in harmony with myself and with my loved ones. The shift in mindset gave me clarity how to manage my life without feeling stressed or overwhelmed.
I felt safe and understood during our sessions.
Thank you Laura!
It was amazing the experience of doing hypnotherapy with Laura. I managed to low loads of tensions, and helped me to solve some issues I have been carrying for some time now. Since the very first moment she heard and understood my problem, it was incredible the peace and harmony that she transmitted. I will continue working with her for my self development.

A Tale of Partition and Love
Wild, imaginative and tender, it may be only through love stories like Chhotu that we can return to our darkest hour and begin reparations for another kind of future to which we can all belong. (Vazira Zamindar, author of ‘The Long Partition’)
Given the “unspeakability” of the experiences of Partition, it is entirely appropriate that Chhotu uses visual imagination to represent this searing episode in India’s history. With sharp irony and crackling humour, it offers a poignant understanding of a time when fear, bigotry, political machinations, and violence overtook everyday life (Gyan Prakash, professor of history, Princeton University, author of Emergency Chronicle)
Chhotu, Heer, Bapu, Chandni Chowk, love, friendship, longing and belonging breathe life into a turbulent time few have dared to picture. This graphic novel leaves no doubt that art is at its evocative best when it reveals the bitter truths nations choose to bury (Ritu Khanduri, author of Caricaturing Culture in India)
The year is 1947. The British are slowly marking their departure from the country. And while Partition looms large over India, Chhotu, a student-cum-paranthe-cook in the dusty gullies of Chandni Chowk, has other things on his mind-like feeling the first flushes of love of his crush, Heer, the new girl at school.
When he finally decides to make a move, Chhotu soon finds the town’s aloo has suddenly gone missing, reluctantly embroiling himself into the world of corruption, crime and dons. As he struggles to understand what freedom truly means, Chhotu realizes one thing is for certain-that his world, and the world of those around him, is about to change forever.
Set against the backdrop of Partition and the horrors that followed, Chhotu is a coming-of-age story of an unlikely hero and a parable of a past that doesn’t feel too removed from the present.

Cole Haan has gone from "ladies first" to "ladies only" with its first strictly-for-women store at the South Park Mall in Charlotte, N.C.
The upscale retailer of shoes and accessories, which got its start as a men's footwear supplier in 1928, has been ramping up its women's lines in recent years. That trend first manifested itself in its dual-gender "Lifestyle" stores, most of which have the women's merchandise in front and the men's in back. Then Cole Haan placed the women's lines front and center and pushed the men's lines to the second floor at its high-profile store in the Shops at Columbus Circle in New York that opened last year.
Now, at the South Park prototype, all 1800 square feet of selling space are devoted to handbags, outerwear, footwear and accessories for women. The new design is yet another collaboration between Cole Haan's New York-based design team and designers from Seattle-based Callison (The two firms previously teamed to create the Columbus Circle space, as well as the "Lifestyle" prototype at Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas that opened in 2003.)
However, despite the women's-only orientation of the latest store design, the signs still read, "Cole Haan."
"We decided that the best way to capitalize on the strength of our brand is to leave the store's name alone," says Meiling Leung, Cole Haan's design director, "and instead use materials and visuals that speak loudly to women to communicate that this store is for them."
To that end, the storefront features vertical Hollywood Regency-style windows with ebony frames and a contrasting rosal limestone façade. Displays in the windows "tell monthly seasonal fashion stories that are strictly for women," notes Leung. The entry doors incorporate a curving, interlocking symmetrical circle motif, which is mimicked by a decorative gold display screen at the back of the store.
The overall interior environment strives to evoke "a glamorous style that's refined and elegant, and envelops the customer in a very feminine and modern atmosphere," says Callison director Cindi Kato. Or, as Leung puts it, "We wanted the space to resemble a fabulous women's closet."
Anchoring the front of the store are a modern, tripod-legged display and a white ornate chandelier overhead that add a jewel-like quality to the space. The center of the store features interlocking multi-level mannequin platforms for displaying merchandise in a variety of configurations.
Custom accessory displays, in ivory lacquer with gold-leaf detailing and grasscloth backdrops, are located in the front and rear of the store. The side walls house shoes and handbags displayed in fixtures with staggered glass shelving and bronze metal bamboo legs.
An outerwear display fixture along one wall has a clear lucite decorative rod designed to make it look like the merchandise is floating within the space. Suspended above that rack are shadowboxes housing handbags and other accessories, which provide framed areas to highlight the enclosed products.
To add softness to the space, the walls are interspersed with stretches of gray silk drapery. Residential-style furniture, including slipper chairs, a daybed and side chairs covered in blue and neutral fabrics, add subtle color and elegance.
For now, Cole Haan is taking a go-slow approach to rolling out its women's-only spaces. Of the five stores it's opening this fall, only one – in the Houston Galleria – will be strictly for women.
"We're testing everything about the women's-only space – how it looks, how it feels, what's the right product mix and so forth," explains Leung. "This is a major growth opportunity for our brand, so we're taking our time to make sure we do it right."

By DOUG HAIDET
T-G Sports Writer
It was sometime around the year 1800 that Eli Whitney gripped the idea of using interchangeable parts to help maximize the capabilities of different firearms for the United States military.
More than 200 years later, Lexington High School tennis coach Ron Schaub is employing the same idea with his girls' Ohio Cardinal Conference squad, mixing up the talent Lady Lex annually offers into a lineup that seems to always fit together for one conclusion -- winning.
Such was the case at Brookside Park on Tuesday when Lexington paired up with Ashland and used plenty of different weapons to fire off a key 4-1 OCC triumph over the Arrows.
Without graduated 2006 Division I state runner-up Lexi Bolesky, and giving '06 state-qualifying Torri Goudy the day off, Schaub jumbled his varsity performers at Brookside. He still had enough ammunition to help improve Lex's record to 13-1 overall and 5-0 in the OCC against a sturdy Ashland bunch (11-2, 3-2).
"This is a real talented senior class that we have," Schaub said. "We have six seniors, so we're trying to work in some younger kids, too, so down the road they will be able to help us. We just have a little luxury this year of having some really good players."
That luxury hasn't simply been a 2007 frill. The team's powerful 12th-grade class has more than one performer Schaub thinks will go on to perform in college, and it's a group that continued to keep the Arrow girls winless against LHS since 2002.
"We were certainly the underdog tonight, and we had nothing to lose," Ashland coach Rick Crooks said. "I thought we played competitively in all of the matches."
Pairing up two sophomores with two of those Lexington seniors at first and second singles, Ashland fell behind 2-0 after about 45 minutes.
Lex's Paige Cooper, who has finished one win from advancing to state three straight years, used the entire court with strong returns to help keep Arrow Janelle Hess playing mostly from the baseline in a 6-1, 6-0 win.
Finishing victorious just after that was No. 2 Lex singles standout Alanna Phillips, who bested Ashland's Lacey Myers (6-0, 6-2) behind more of a finesse game that stretched Myers' range from right to left much of the afternoon.
"(Hess and Myers) were just playing such experienced players," Crooks said. "I don't think their score even reflected their play. They went to deuce several times."
At second doubles, it was the Arrow duo of Megan Gisclon and Kristi Overland plucking a straight-set victory from court No. 2 against Kirsten Webster and Julie Kerbs, 6-1, 6-3. The only worry the consistent-playing Gisclon and Overland really had was a 2-1 second-set deficit.
But Lex third singles player Alicia Angle got by Ashland's Emily Hawley, 6-3, 6-3, to clinch the team victory in about 80 minutes. Hawley pulled to within 4-3 in both sets before eventually dropping the decision.
In first doubles play, LHS teammates Taylor Cooper and Shelly Webster overcame a 6-4 loss in their first set with AHS's Brooke Betit and Danielle Rueger, but surged back to snare wins in the final two, 6-3, 6-0.
"I'm pleased with getting the one point, but I think we could have had two with our other doubles team," Crooks said. "We had a tough time at the end of that third set."
The 4-1 decision was the seventh the Arrows have been involved in this season, but the first they lost.
Ashland is back in action Thursday with OCC foe Madison, and with an 11-match winning streak now followed by two straight losses, Crooks said it's a big one.
"We need a win Thursday," he said. "We've got to go back to the basics on some things."
As for that most recent victory over Lex, from which Crooks still remembers the score (3-2), there lingers one positive.
"I can at least go to my grave knowing I at least beat them one time," the coach said with a laugh.

Crytek was “hit really, really hard” by the leak of Crysis 2 but got a big morale boost from the support of the online community, which has so far largely avoided downloading the upcoming shooter.
Piracy is pretty much a fact of life for every game developer but that doesn’t mean they don’t feel a sting when it happens. And when your whole game winds up on torrent sites more than a month before the scheduled release of a major, long-awaited title, which is what happened to the upcoming shooter Crysis 2, it hurts a lot.
“We were really high off the feeling that wow, we’ve got this really awesome game that came together, that we want to play and which will be a lot of fun. Then, getting that kind of news swings your emotions in completely the opposite direction,” Camarillo, the executive producer on Crysis 2, told his audience at Gamesblog Live. “We’re normally very communicative at the office, but people just weren’t talking to each other like they normally do – it hit really, really hard.”
What pulled the studio out of its collective funk, he said, was the same thing that put it there in the first place: the online community. “They were saying, ‘Don’t download it, don’t post anything from it, don’t participate in file-sharing of this – it’s not the final version, so it’s not what they want you to see. Don’t spoil it for me – I want to see the final version. I’m glad, at least, that it runs on your PC – it runs on my PC as well, but you still shouldn’t have downloaded it’,” he said. “Everybody was very supportive, and the community exercised self-policing in that regard, so it didn’t quite erupt like when, for example, a final version is leaked.”
He’s not just blowing hot air, according to TorrentFreak, which said that although the leaked game is widely available, its stats show “just” 10,000 completed downloads on public BitTorrent trackers. “And that’s not because this title isn’t popular with gamers. Indeed, given the current mood, it’s not unthinkable that these low download numbers may well be a result of it being quite the opposite,” the site explained. “While some people are clearly happy to get an advance copy, it’s eye-opening to see people on torrent sites encouraging others NOT to download it. Sure, there is the usual crowd throwing a middle finger up to the publishers while delighting in their juicy booty, but so many others are pleading with people to support Crytek by putting their hands in their pockets next month instead.”
Crysis 2 comes out on March 22 for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Women and children are among the refugees who walk across border to Jordan
Families were shot at and people injured while trying to cross, Jordan Border Guard says
Refugees walk for hours or days, carrying what they can, to escape civil war
Jordan's resources are taxed, and winter "makes it even more difficult," border official says
With darkness as their only cover, Syrian families make a break for northern Jordan.
They are fleeing for their lives.
Small children walk alongside their mothers, whose arms are reserved for babies and whatever possessions they can carry. In a treacherous nighttime escape such as this one, you walk if you’re old enough.
As the group makes its way over the border, just a few meters away from its homeland, the sounds of shelling can still be heard in the distance.
The war weary continue on, climbing a hill. There are no lights to illuminate their rocky path.

Still too close. Still too dangerous.
According to Jordan’s Border Guard, which gave CNN exclusive access to the area, many fleeing families have been shot at in the past two weeks, and several people have been injured while trying to cross.
On this cold night, the number of wounded was far fewer. A member of the Border Guard met them and led them to safety, where they were ushered into a tent and given food. Some shivering children, wrapped in blankets, were too tired to eat. Their parents recounted harrowing experiences.
“My daughter is 2 months old,” one woman said. “Don’t you think it was extremely difficult on this child to walk with her here in this cold?”
Another mother explained the journey they took: “When we first got on the road, it was extremely scary. I mean, we saw death all around,” she said.
One man, who arrived with his wife and five children, detailed the high price of this pilgrimage – one he was all too willing to pay.
“All we were able to bring with us were the clothes on our backs and the clothes we were able to pack in this bag,” he said. “Everything else is back in Syria, but the security situation there is terrible. We can’t return.”
Most of those who made the journey on this night were women and children. Some had walked for hours, others for days, coming from cities as close as Daraa and as far as Aleppo. Many were too afraid to share their names or appear on camera, for fear of reprisal or that relatives back home would be targeted.
Close by, in the back of a Jordanian ambulance, sat an 80-year-old woman who’d been carried across the border. She hated leaving home but had no choice, recounting how several members of her family had been killed in just a few days’ time.
“The first day, they killed my nephew,” she said, her voice brimming with anger at a regime she despised.
“The second day, they killed my niece. Third day, my cousin. Fourth day, another cousin. Four days, and every day a killing.”
The United Nations estimates that at least 60,000 people have died in 22 months of fighting between government forces and rebels seeking to depose President Bashar al-Assad. Now, Syrians are crossing into Jordan in record numbers, with at least 350,000 refugees having flowed into Jordan since the beginning of the Syrian conflict.
At least 40,000 have arrived in Jordan this year alone, and half of that has been in the past week, Jordanian government officials say.
Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh described the numbers as “staggering.”
“This is obviously a reflection of the level of violence in southern Syria, and there will probably be more in the next few days,” he said last week. “We are getting aid. We are getting aid from Arab countries, from Western countries, from international organizations. It is still not enough, given the numbers that are coming in.”
Last week, the International Rescue Committee warned of a “protracted humanitarian emergency” in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and Iraq, which have absorbed about 600,000 Syrian refugees since the conflict began.
On Monday, Oxfam launched an $18.9 million emergency appeal to help up to 120,000 Syrians.
“In Jordan alone, there has been a threefold increase in the daily rate of people crossing from Syria in the last week,” said a statement from the aid agency, which added that “extreme winter weather was compounding misery for refugees, with an increase in respiratory infections and pneumonia recorded in clinics in Lebanon and Jordan.”
Jordan’s Border Guard told CNN the border will remain open but that the exodus from southern Syria has severely taxed resources.
“It takes a huge effort to mobilize this response right now,” said Brig. Gen. Hussein al-Zuyud, commander of the Border Guard. “We’re in winter, and that makes it even more difficult.
“On the front lines, at the crossing points, there are times when we have to stay with the refugees for 48 hours, which requires logistical tools and supplies, heating supplies and blankets. And all this is an added burden on us.”
From the border, the refugees are loaded onto buses that will take them to their new home: the Zaatari Camp outside Amman, which already houses around 80,000 of their fellow Syrians.
Most of the families simply seemed happy for a respite. Having left war-ravaged homes and tattered belongings behind, they were ready for a new start, no matter how temporary. Even a tent would be better than the alternative.
“There’s nothing we weren’t hit by,” said one woman, whose voice welled with emotion when describing the trauma of just trying to survive back in Syria. “Rockets, barrel bombs, warplanes – the shells were falling on us like rain.”

Acupuncture has been an alternative healing method for centuries and is considered a viable treatment for chronic pain.
Plantar fasciitis is a common foot condition that affects both men and women. It is characterized by pain particularly at the bottom of the foot. While this is not a serious ailment, it can still disrupt the normal function of your foot.
A pinched nerve disrupts the normal function of your nerves. Apart from disrupting the messages that go to and from your brain, it causes pain which depends on the severity of your case.
Fleas are small insects who particularly thrive in a humid environment. These pesky dark brown critters are quite hardy which means for as long as they have healthy, warm-blooded host in an equally conducive home, they can survive the cold winter season.

Cloud computing and data analytics are two technologies that go hand in hand. Both are essential elements for critical business decisions and influence revenue generation by businesses. Cloud computing means the delivery of computing services like servers, networking, software analysis, database and intelligence over the internet (cloud). For instance, communication tools like WhatsApp, calendars and emails have a cloud-based infrastructure. Data scientists analyse various types of data (structured, unstructured, semi-structured) stored in the cloud.
India’s public cloud services (PCS) market including IaaS, PaaS and SaaS based models stood at $2.2 billion in the first half of 2021. The overall market is expected to reach $10.8 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 24.1% from 2020-2025. This is because the Cloud will be the pillar for innovation and digital transformation adopted by Indian enterprises. Cloud computing helps a data scientist use platforms like Windows Azure that may offer access to frameworks, tools and programming languages. They are also comfortable in using MapReduce tools like Hadoop to store data as well as retrieval tools like Hive and Pig.
You can get a clear understanding of cloud computing and data analysis by joining GeekLurn’s Data Science Architect Program. It ensures exposure to key concepts like Analysis Modules, Testing, Statistical Computing, Real Analytics and Hadoop Development along with Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning. The course guarantees 100% placement, 1-on-1 career mentorship, easy financing options (EMIs begin once you get a job), project certificates and a chance to participate in live webinars to understand technical terms. You can expect a cohesive learning experience with experts, mentors and workmates and resolve all project-related queries.
Here is a detailed guide to help you understand data science vs cloud computing.
Table of Contents
Data Science: Why is it important?
It is widely used in various industries like finance, policy work, healthcare, gaming, logistics and digital marketing. Data scientists can support powerful business decision making, with modeling, interpreting and finally deployment. In-depth knowledge of cloud computing vs data science is critical for data professionals to be able to perform a series of tasks, like model testing, training, and mining, as well as use tool kits provided by Azure or AWS.
The larger part of the data science process is performed on local computers. It is done by installing R and Python along with the IDE. The procedures involve gaining data, wrangling, munging, transforming, parsing and cleaning, testing and approving, tuning and enhancing models and deliverables. A cloud-based virtual machine-like AWS or Elastic Beanstalk is used by individuals to offload the computing work, rather than using the local development machine of data scientists. There are multiple clouds-and-service-based offerings that are accessible from eminent vendors. These can function with tools like Jupyter Notebook.
Should I learn Cloud Computing or Data Science?
Cloud computing is an important component in the field of big data analytics. All cloud providers offer a specific set of tools for data scientists.
|Google BigQuery, Vision / Speech / Translate / Natural Language API for data extraction and transformation, Cloud Dataflow, Cloud Dataprep, Apache Beam and Data Studio and Tensorflow
|Data Pipeline, S3, EC2, Redshift and Database Migration Service. A few popular customers are S&P Global Ratings and Standard Chartered Bank, The Guardian and Nielsen.
|AzureSQL, AzureTable and AzureBlob, HDinsight and AzureML. All these tools can be integrated with Power BI and Microsoft Excel to make results easily visible and accessible for users with unique tech skills
From a career point of view, are you trying to choose cloud computing or data science? Well, both are necessary and come with their own sets of benefits. In fact, giants like Google, Amazon and Microsoft are trying to combine cloud computing and data science. Consider mastering both by taking up a course that makes you industry-ready by equipping you with everything that is needed for a successful career in data science.
Skills for Cloud Computing
A few core skills include data security, data analysis, project management, business concepts, technical knowledge like HTML, Linux, Web services and API, networking skills and computing fundamentals. Consider platform exercise, selecting the right services, managing a network, maintaining databases, adapting to new technologies and roles, securing the cloud environment, migrating data, estimating cost and workload and designing distributed systems to become proficient in cloud computing. It is a vast field, and a deep understanding of these skills may help you become successful as a cloud engineer.
The adoption of the cloud picked up in the months during the COVID-19 lockdowns. The use of cloud services continues to grow, and companies will require software architects with cloud and data science skills. So, data scientists would do well to hone their cloud computing skills to advance their careers. Consider learning cloud computing vs data science to understand how both are unique yet interlinked.

Rory McIlroy’s first victory of 2013 came in dramatic fashion, as McIlroy drained a birdie putt on the final hole at Royal Sydney Golf Club to win the Australian Open by one shot over Adam Scott.
“I wanted to get a win and finally I’ve been able to get one,” McIlroy said. “But more satisfying than that is being able to take one of the best players in the world down the stretch and come out on top.”
Here are 5 Thing you need to know from Sunday in Sydney:
• • •
1. WHAT A FINISH: McIlroy trailed Scott by four shots entering the final round, but evened things at 17 under after an eagle at No. 7 and a birdie at No. 8.
Scott birdied the ninth to take a one-shot advantage, a slim lead that he’d hold going into the final hole, the par-4 18th.
But after his approach sailed long, Scott chipped well past the hole before two-putting for bogey. That’s when McIlroy took advantage, sinking a 10-footer for birdie to come away with the victory at 18-under 270.
“I didn’t think it was going to unfold the way it did,” McIlroy said. “It’s hard not to feel some guilt in the way I won it. Having a one-shot lead going into the last having it taken away from you right at the very end, it’s tough.”
• • •
2. NO TRIPLE CROWN: Already a winner of this year’s Australian Masters and Australian PGA, Scott was attempting to become just the second player to win the Australian triple crown after Robert Allenby accomplished the feat in 2005.
Scott, who shot a course-record 62 in his opening round at Royal Sydney, couldn’t get anything going with the putter on Sunday, missing six putts of 12 feet or shorter.
“Nothing was going my way on the greens today,” said Scott. “I could have put this thing away early on if the putter was behaving how it should have, how it did the rest of the week.”
• • •
3. SEE YOU AT ROYAL LIVERPOOL: With McIlroy and Scott already qualified, three players earned spots in the 2014 Open Championship at Royal Liverpool with their performances this week in Sydney.
John Senden, the 2006 Australian Open champ, finished third at 11 under while Bryden Macpherson and Rhein Gibson tied for fourth at 9 under.
Senden has played in seven Opens, including the last two. Macpherson, a second-year pro out of Georgia, competed at the 2011 Open as an amateur and missed the cut. Gibson will be making his first Open start next year.
‘To be honest, I wasn’t really thinking about the Open,” Gibson said. ”I was just trying to finish as high as I could. That’s just a bonus.”
• • •
4. NOT THE POTATO CHIP: Ryan Ruffels may have missed out on low-amateur honors to Brady Watt after a final-round 73 dropped him into a tie for 24th.
But the 15-year-old Australian, who made match play at the U.S. Junior Amateur this year, still enjoyed the experience of his first Australian Open.
”I’m only 15 and I’ve got plenty of these to come,” Ruffels said. ”To be able to get it to 6 under at one point for the tournament; I can fight it out pretty good in these sorts of arenas, as well, as against all these pros and I’m not out of place playing these big tournaments.
“If I can keep playing like this and come top 30 when I’m 15, there’s a lot more positives to come if I keep working hard.”
• • •
5. SHORT SHOTS: A week after winning both individual and team titles at the World Cup of Golf, Jason Day tied for sixth at 8 under. . . . Watt tied for 14th to win low-amateur honors. Other notables tied for 14th at 6 under included Stuart Appleby, Nick O’Hern and Alistair Presnell.

Happy new year! 12 hours earlier then Europe, but due to “out and about into the wild”, 12 days to late with our best wishes.
Yep, upside down. Like they do everything around here, driving left, steering wheel at the right, the North is warmer then the South, the sun shines at night, … during your night anyway, and soon our night as well. Sabrina and I are coming home soon.
Hope we spelled the year correctly.
Like you’ve probably understood from previous blog posts, we were still waiting a bit for that great New Zealand, known from “Lord Of The Rings”, “The Hobbit”, “The Piano” and “Top of the Lake” scenes. Well, I can say with confidence we’ve find exactly that, further south. Starting from Wanaka and everything south from Wanaka, like Queenstown, Aspiring national park, Milford, Routeburn, … Such landscapes are difficult to describe, so I’ll let the pictures speak instead.
OK, you just promised us landscapes, where are they? Well, as one might know, New Zealand does not always have the perfect weather conditions. We went to the quite amusing local cinema in Wanaka.
Tramping the Milford track, one of worlds most famous hiking tracks. Had to book it almost a year in advance. The track was very nice, but we had awful weather on the day we supposed to have the most amazing views. They have some rules regarding heli transfers. If they say it is really not OK to go, they have to find, and pay for a solution, like a transfer by heli for example. But if you yourself choose not to leave, you will have to pay for the heli transfer.
We got green light in the morning to leave the hut: “It’s OK to go. You will get wet but you’ll be fine”. Half an hour later we were walking above the tree line, counting the seconds between lightning and thunder, trying to cover our face and hands, because the hail hurted to much. We were nog alone on the track, all people (even parents with little kids) must move to the next hut, because a new batch of hikers are on their way to our last hut. Descending from the saddle, the storm and hail became even harder, and Sabrina and I were actually running the trail. We passed lots of people from the guided groups, all scattered over the trail, but where are the guides? Rivers we had to cross were expanding into waterfalls in front of our eyes. We could just see them grow. We crossed them as fast as possible, getting wet from head till toe, and kept running through the hail. If we were not running, feet and hands were getting cold immediately. The danger of hypothermia slipped my mind, we were more then hours away from the next hut. Walking paths became rivers, water was coming down everywhere.
The funny thing is, we actually loved it. Finally some real adventure. Sabrien and I had a great time, running down. At first, I was scared for her, but I looked back, and I could just read the fun on her face. What a relief. The camera’s far away in our backpacks to keep them dry, but I could make some movies and shoot some pictures with the waterproof Gopro. Although we didn’t get the large landscape views, we got waterfalls all over the place. Everywhere you could see, there was water coming down from the massive mountain walls, sometimes even straight through the forest. We met a German on the route who gave a quite funny remark: “All routes are still open, so I guess this is just the regular amount of water.”
Had to wait a couple hours for Tom and Tinne to arrive, but they did arrive, and all are fine.
So, both “great walks”, as Milford and Routeburn are categorized officially, could fulfil our expectations. The Milford ain’t “the finest walk in the world” as New Zealand tries to sell it. Nevertheless, we had a great time and actually saw things we had never seen before, because of the huge amount of rainfall.

While fixed line recording has been prevalent for over 25 years in Capital markets, mobile recording is the relative ‘new kid on the block’ after a regulatory change in 2011. Today, we see mobile use accelerating faster than ever and as Gartner includes a reset of outdated work processes as one of their top strategic predictions for 2021 and beyond, we take a look at how remote working has impacted mobile call recording solutions.
The journey so far from 1G to 4G
Mobile networks have evolved since the 1980s and with every generation (or “G”), we benefit from faster speeds. 1G used analog signals and began at a time where mobile technology was still taking shape. Characterised by poor battery life and even poorer voice quality, calls often dropped off and network signal was patchy at best. When 2G was introduced, the promise of digital signals also meant wireless transmission and features like SMS, call holding and conference calls.
3G was released into the world in the early 2000s boasting internet searching, social media and video calls. With improved reliability and greater data capacity, mobile phones became a viable tool for business use. As 4G was introduced into the market, this high-speed mobile network enabled users to make calls using data. Long-Term-Evolution (LTE), in other words wireless broadband, services become standard practise.
The era of mobile communication in capital markets had very much arrived.
Carrier networks struggled with the remote working surge
While mobile use had been growing steadily before 2020, the pandemic accelerated this trend tenfold. In the global shift to home offices and employees started to work remotely, network carriers struggled to cope with call volumes. More and more users were making calls using their 4G data plans instead of mobile signals.
With so many users working from home, several of our client’s carrier networks struggled to meet the increased demand for mobile capacity. This resulted in our users complaining of dropped calls, poor quality and connections taking too long to set up. In response to this, we set our development team a challenge to reinforce our existing solution to include a way to guarantee call coverage, without the heavy reliance on phone signal.
And they delivered!
Recording WIFI calling and Voice over Long-Term-Evolution
VoxSmart developed and deployed enhanced features for recording calls made over WIFI connections. This enabled users to make compliant calls using data networks when mobile signal was unavailable. This allowed users greater coverage where no mobile signal was found, for example in home offices. This also reduced the reliance on the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and legacy carrier technology such as 2G and 3G services, meaning inbound calls were received quicker and with better quality audio.
5G and beyond: Gartner’s predictions for the future
Now 5G has arrived with the goal of supporting our growing Internet of Things. While still relatively new, the next generation aims to deliver decreased latency and improved performance and consistency. With businesses depending on fast and reliable connections to conduct their business on a global scale 5G will form the bedrock for giving and receiving critical information, almost instantly.
Likewise, Gartner’s 2021 and Beyond predictions state that new organizational value comes from monitoring. In their annual strategic predictions for IT organisations and users, the analyst firm expects 75% of all work related conversations will be recording and analyzed by 2025. This not only means firms will have the capability to capture business communications but actively monitor those conversations for organisational value or risk purposes.
In a world of remote working and evolving working practises, mobiles will remain an essential communication source and being able to reliably record calls, regardless of the network or signal protocol, will be paramount as businesses and technology evolve.

The “Great Recession” may be over, but in Los Angeles, need is rising.
The organizations we count on to address our most pressing issues are overstretched, and the charitable giving that sustains them is on the decline. The following slides contain key findings from “The Generosity Gap: Donating Less in Post-Recession Los Angeles County,” a first-of-its-kind study from the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs in partnership with the California Community Foundation on the concerns and motivations of Los Angeles donors and the extent of the county’s growing gap in charitable giving.
Los Angeles County residents are donating less to charitable causes than they did a decade ago.
Median nonprofit revenues continue to decline dramatically in Los Angeles County, even as the number of organizations rise.
L.A. donors give to a wide spectrum of organizations, with higher proportions giving to religious congregations, basic needs and combined-purpose organizations.
Nearly two thirds of donors in Los Angeles County gave mostly or entirely to locally focused organizations in support of at least one cause.
Given the opportunity to make a large gift to L.A., donors’ highest priority would be ending homelessness. But of their 2015 contributions to basic needs causes and combined-purpose organizations, only one third went to locally focused nonprofits.
Planned giving is strongly connected with support for locally focused charitable causes, through both bequests and current contributions, especially among donors under 40.
To close the gap will take new ideas and new approaches that tap into the passion and commitment of Angelenos.
Los Angeles County’s decline in giving, while urgent, is also solvable. If Angelenos gave just 2.5% of their annual income – with the extra 0.5% going to Los Angeles – Los Angeles County nonprofits could see an additional $1.5 billion in revenue. But to do so means coming together as a community and connecting the passion we share with the world to include Los Angeles.
Through our own experience at the California Community Foundation and what we have learned from our nonprofit partners and peers, we have identified and embarked upon four approaches to strengthen L.A.’s nonprofit sector and close the generosity gap:
1. Use cross-sector partnerships to tell L.A.’s story and draw outside funding: Funders often see Los Angeles as a complex and confusing place to invest. As a result, we receive fewer outside grant dollars per-capita than other major metro areas. CCF has joined forces with other philanthropic institutions to support LA n Sync, which since 2013 has brought together the academic, government, nonprofit, business and philanthropic sectors to tell Los Angeles County’s story and embark on a coordinated and collaborative attempt to “market” the needs and potential of Los Angeles. In its first three years, LA n Sync has brought nearly $200 million in state and national funding to the county.
2. Strengthen and streamline nonprofit organizations: The decline in giving has been exacerbated by the growth in the number of nonprofits in Los Angeles County. Duplication of services leads to inefficiency, and, coupled with the increased competition for shrinking resources, creates an environment in which the causes themselves suffer. The Nonprofit Sustainability Initiative, launched by CCF, the Weingart Foundation and the Ralph M. Parsons Foundation, has worked to create healthier and stronger nonprofits by facilitating partnerships between more than 65 organizations, giving more than $1 million to assess capacity, support restructuring, integrate programs and share lessons across the sector.
3. Build connections between Los Angeles donors and local nonprofits: When donors do want to give to Los Angeles, they can be discouraged and intimidated when trying to navigate the county’s 35,000 nonprofits. This difficulty can draw attention and dollars away from Los Angeles to national organizations with greater brand recognition. To address this, CCF is designing an online resource to connect Los Angeles donors with effective local nonprofits working on the issues they care about most, so they can give their time, their money and their passion to build a better Los Angeles.
4. Help organizations tap into Los Angeles’ historic wealth transfer through planned giving: Los Angeles is in the midst of one of the nation’s largest transfers of wealth. A 2011 study sponsored by the Center for Rural Entrepreneurship found that nearly $1.4 trillion will be transferred between generations in Los Angeles County between 2010 and 2060.3 Since the report was released, CCF has experienced this transfer firsthand, bringing in more than $750 million in contributions, most of which were planned gifts. Planned giving offers a tremendous opportunity for donors and nonprofits to take part in this transfer and partner to make a permanent impact on the future of Los Angeles. These gifts, whether made through an estate or created during a liquidity event during the donor’s lifetime, allow people to make truly transformative gifts while encouraging nonprofits to plan for the future and engage in long-term stewardship of their donors.


On Thursday, the MN Senate Capital Investment Committee heard Senator Judy Seeberger’s legislation to increase funding for renovations at the Hastings Minnesota Veterans Home. In response, Senator Seeberger is quoted as saying, recently, “Senate Republicans blocked a bonding bill that would have invested $1.5 billion into local infrastructure projects and repairs, created good paying jobs, and improved the lives of Minnesotans. Included in these blocked projects was my own bill to fund renovations for the Hastings Minnesota Veterans Home. This was a major setback, but I am still committed to fighting for this bill to pass to ensure these necessary renovations happen. Our veterans sacrificed their lives for this country and deserve, at a bare minimum, comfortable and well maintained housing and care. Their wellbeing, support, and quality of life will always be a top priority for me.” Senate File 1355 was laid over for inclusion in an omnibus bill.

Border collies have a reputation for being hyperactive and high-strung. In fact, they are very active dogs bred for sheep herding. It is in a border collie's nature to need a job to perform. When a daily walk isn't enough, it needs other forms of stimulation to stay occupied and out of trouble. To keep your border collie from going nuts and driving you nuts in the process, give the dog plenty of ways to stay busy.
Enroll your border collie in obedience school, agility training, a search and rescue program or some other training activity. Take your dog to the courses and work on training at home every day between classes. Your dog will learn useful new skills to become a better pet and give it a "job" to do every day when it is time to practice those new skills.
Teach your border collie new tricks. Learning new things keeps your dog interested and is fun for you, too. This is a good way to keep the dog busy at home when the weather is bad and you don't want to take it outside, or as an activity to do in your yard or at the park. Basics such as shaking hands, rolling over and playing dead are all reasonable tricks for a border collie and are easy to practice at home every day. More physically demanding tricks, such as jumping through a hoop and catching a flying disc, are good activities to exercise and mentally stimulate your border collie at the same time.
Play hide-and-seek with your border collie to keep it stimulated. Show the dog a treat and then take the dog to another room. Hide a few treats around the room, under the couch cushions, covered with a newspaper or some other tricky place. Bring the dog back in the room and let it have fun looking and sniffing all around the room to find the hidden treats. You can do the same thing outside in your yard. This is a good activity if the dog is bouncing off the walls inside or chewing things out of boredom.
If you want to keep the dog occupied for a bit while you get something done or take a break, distract it with a toy. The most effective toy is one that stimulates a border collie's problem-solving instincts. There are dog toys on the market that have a difficult-to-access compartment that can be filled with food. The dog must work persistently to figure out how to get to the treat.

OK! Magazine has made public its exclusive picture of Ashlee Simpson's apparent baby bump, snapped outside the Chart House Restaurant in Malibu, Calif. on April 12.
While her singer fiance Pete Wentz has been keeping himself busy, doing the best he can to put the brake on the persistent reports that Ashlee Simpson is pregnant with their first child together, a new obvious sign of her baby bump has just been released. OK! Magazine has made public the exclusive picture of Ashlee's apparent baby bump, which was taken outside the Chart House Restaurant in Malibu, Calif. on April 12, the same day she was said to deal with a "fierce bout of what appeared to be morning sickness".
OK! published the picture with the accompanying headline that reads, "OK! Exclusive: Ashlee's Baby Bump Revealed!" The picture shows Ashlee holding hands with Wentz, exposing her not-yet so big indeed growing belly.
Rumors of Ashlee's apparent pregnancy began to hit the news media hot on the heels of her public confirmation of her engagement to Fall Out Boy's bassist Wentz on Wednesday, April 9. Wentz himself was quick to call foul to the pregnancy reports, set the record straight in an email he sent to MTV News, branded the circulating rumors as "crazy".
Has been keeping mum on that matter, Ashlee in fact declined to directly answer questions about whether or not she is expecting a baby during a taping of MTV show "TRL" Tuesday, April 15. "I just think it's an inappropriate question to ask any woman," so she told MTV News' Kim Stolz, adding that "For me, that's something that I didn't ever want to respond to, because I think it's an inappropriate question. Some things, you want to keep personal, and I think that when people deny [reports that they're pregnant], it's probably because it's something they want to keep personal."
Ashlee's appearance on MTV show "TRL" that day was meant to promote her new LP "Bittersweet World".
In the meantime, a source close to the Simpsons family has disclosed to People that the singer is pregnant and that she plans to marry Wentz next month at a friend's house in La Jolla, Calif., north of San Diego.

Republicans in the House of Delegates say they want a public hearing on the $1.5 billion plan to redevelop the State Center in Baltimore City.
House Minority Leader Nicholaus Kipke, R-Anne Arundel County, and Minority Whip Kathy Szeliga, R-Baltimore and Harford counties, say they want the House Appropriations Committee to hold hearings on the project and address concerns raised in an analysis by the Department of Legislative Services.
“Maryland’s budget outlook is already grim,” the Republican leaders wrote in the letter to House Speaker Michael E. Busch. “Based on the information from DLS, the State Center project appears to be an albatross around the taxpayers’ neck. This is a burden that they – quite literally – cannot afford. Fortunately, in their analysis DLS also laid out options that may allow us to free Maryland’s taxpayers from the ever-growing burden of this State Center Project.”
The statement from Republicans comes at the same time that Comptroller Peter V.R. Franchot said in an interview that the project is unaffordable and should be scrapped, at least for now.
“So much debt has been taken out over the last five or six years since this project looked affordable and now it no longer is,” said Franchot, a Democrat and a member of the Board of Public Works, along with Gov. Martin J. O’Malley and Treasurer Nancy K. Kopp. The board is scheduled to take up the final approvals for the project on Dec. 17. O’Malley and Kopp have not indicated their views on the project.
In their letter, Kipke and Szeliga call on Busch to allow the House Appropriations Committee to participate in a Senate hearing scheduled for Tuesday.
The Senate Budget and Taxation Committee is scheduled to hold a similar hearing Tuesday afternoon. Typically, the House Appropriations Committee would participate in that hearing, but Sen. Edward J. Kasemeyer, chair of the Senate Committee, said a large amount of turnover in the House committee made a joint meeting more challenging.
Kasemeyer, in a letter to O’Malley and the Board of Public Works, asked for the project to be removed from the Dec. 17 board agenda citing fiscal concerns raised by a review of the project conducted by legislative budget analysts.
“The costs have had to go up in four or five years,” Kasemeyer said in an interview last week. “What’s the increase to us? We want to see if this project is something that is within the state’s means and if it still makes sense for us, is it a good deal for us.”
Plans to redevelop the 28-acre westside property bordering Preston Street, home to 1 million square feet of office space, the Fifth Regiment Armory and about 3,500 state employees, date back to 2005. The redevelopment appeared to get back on track after the Court of Appeals ruled that opponents of the project, who included businesses and property owners funded by attorney Peter G. Angelos, waited too long to challenge the procurement process in court. That decision vacated a ruling by a trial judge that the project had not been competitively bid.
The legislative analysts’ review disclosed last week raised questions about the financial viability of the project, concerns about increased costs of the project above the original $1.5 billion price tag and worries that the debt associated with the project would cause the state to exceed its statutory limit on borrowing.
“As the O’Malley-Brown administration begins their exit from Annapolis, we question the appropriateness of their efforts to push through this bad deal for Maryland’s taxpayers in the eleventh hour of their term,” Szeliga said in a statement. “We would hope that in light of voters’ loud and clear message that state spending is out of control, they would not add to their legacy as irresponsible stewards of taxpayer dollars.”

If your body is feeling a constant issue like swelling in the hand joints followed by stiffness, there are many things that you have to ponder upon. The swelling and stiff movements in the hand are early signs of potential rheumatoid arthritis. When you are sure of your condition, you should begin taking your health seriously and implementing the necessary routine changes.
The therapists and medical experts suggest using arthritis gloves for the patients. They can help with the symptoms; once you slip them, you will see a noticeable difference in the pain and swelling. They ensure that you can do your daily activities better.
Table of Contents
Decoding The True Use Of Compression Gloves
Arthritis gloves have another name that is compression gloves. The second name suggests their role, which is to compress or apply pressure on the hands that help in increasing the blood flow in the target area. Also, it helps in improving the hand’s temperature.
If you touch these gloves, you will know they are usually made of thick and firm fabric. The fabric contains lycra, covering the whole hand and some parts of the hand. So, they cover the mid-forearm and the 3/4th part of the fingers.
Now, you might be thinking about why the fingers are exposed even though they refuse to function. It is because the fingertip functions only when the finger functions. The glove covers the finger, and hence, the movement will be restored. But you have to replace them every 4-6 months. Hence, using them is not a very pocket-friendly process as the replacement requirements are at a standstill and recurring. A good pair is available at a beginning price of $20. The prices can go up based on your requirements. Hence, you should see the options that work for you and your budget.
They are prescribed to be worn at night in some cases as they help reduce the stiffness that tends to occur in the hands in the morning.
Advantages Of Compression Gloves For Arthritis Patients
Arthritis is a prominent disorder prevalent in more than 50 million adults. So, the figure amounts that every 1 out of 5 people above 18. These hand covers can help improve the condition in the following ways:
The basic function or advantage of wearing these gloves is that they help relieve pain. When people suffer from this problem, they see issues popping up while they do their daily activities like driving, eating, etc. They can help in managing chronic pain and also focus on gradual movement.
Proper Blood Flow
When you wear them, they focus on improving the functioning of the nerves, and the main focus is around the arms and legs. They focus on the target area and help in reducing conditions that can give rise to problems like impairment in hand and leg functioning.
The gloves ensure increased circulation. However, you can be sure of this result only when wearing the glove with the correct fit. An imperfect glove fit is useless, and you will do more bad to the condition of your hands than any good.
The gloves are medically tested before the doctors recommend them and are available in the market. Hence, apart from being qualitative, they ensure that they offer easy use. Basically, the gloves are recognized as gloves that can help make people’s lives easier and, eventually, help them get rid of the physical limitations that tend to occur because of this medical condition.
There is one thing that you need to note, which is whether the gloves are covering the finger joints or not. They will benefit you if they are covering the joints and not otherwise.
They can improve the movement and condition of the hands, and hence, the normal movement of these body parts can be ensured. Rheumatoid arthritis enhances the difficulty levels of proper movement in the body, which can be restored with the help of qualitative gloves.
No Side Effects To The Use
Usually, medicines for any issue can have side effects for any condition or person. All human bodies are different, and they react to medicines differently. The reactions can be different, too. They may or may not occur. But in all capacities, these fluctuations do not occur when you use gloves as a part of the treatment. It is the best for those who cannot afford a potential ill impact.
Tips For Maximum Relief
There are two tips that you can follow to ensure that you gain the maximum health benefits while wearing the gloves:
- You should see that the gloves fit you well. Any misfit related to tight or loose gloves will not help you render the potential benefits. If you are unsure about the fit, you can contact your therapist.
- You can follow the 8-hour rule. Anything less than that won’t work in improving the condition.
Results After Wearing The Gloves
The gradual changes, and you can see slight differences anytime between 10-12 weeks. They witness changes in pain, functioning of the hand, and also, in stiffness. They improve satisfaction and help to generate a positive feeling amongst the patients as they see improved hand symptoms. Also, the warmth generated through the gloves helps in improving movement.
The active ingredient that makes these options a hit amongst patients is their ability to offer increased pressure. The research suggests that compression gloves are emerging as new solutions for treating arthritis. Their availability in different fabrics like cotton, light wool, and nylon enhances people to choose the ones that their bodies, especially the hands, feel the most comfortable with. Also, the firm fitting of the gloves, followed by a trusted use for many people, is a great choice for better results.
Compression gloves are a simple remedy to treat arthritis. However, you should discuss the same with your doctor and pay attention to whatever tips they recommend regarding these gloves. Also, you should ensure that you invest in good quality ones whenever they need a replacement without any second thoughts.

Television Productions > Defending Jacob (2020) > Promotionals
Before Chris Evans became Chris Evans, superhero and superstar, he made a habit of asking scene partners the question every starry-eyed artist wants to ask: “What’s your process?”
“I’ve met some actors who are wildly self-aware, wildly self-possessed, incredibly intelligent people,” he says. “I’ve also met actors who have no idea what’s going on around them at any given moment. And both can turn in phenomenal performances. It really begs the question: What is going on in your head when you see a piece of paper with a bunch of words?”
Somewhere on the journey from acting in school plays just outside Boston to a blockbuster career in indie flicks, on Broadway, and almost a dozen appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Captain America, and on to his recent impressive turn on the Apple TV+ limited series “Defending Jacob,” Evans stopped asking the question—but not because he’d settled on an answer.
“The only conclusion I can draw is that there is no formula,” he says. “I think it’s meant to be in a constant state of rebirth. It’s this organic, living thing that you have to re-examine with every character.
“Sorry if that made me sound pretentious; I’m hearing myself right now,” he adds with a groan.
Evans is too articulate about his 20-year love affair with acting and, frankly, too charming to ever come off as pretentious. In his conversation with Backstage, conducted remotely from his home in Los Angeles, he overflows with practical advice for his peers and fellow students of the craft.
Actors at the beginning of their careers could take a leaf out of Evans’ book: During the summer before his senior year of high school, he wrote to New York City casting offices about interning. “I figured I should probably have a job that brought me into contact with agents,” he remembers. While he was assisting with casting bit parts on the Michael J. Fox sitcom “Spin City,” he ended up “talking to agents every day and keeping a little book of the agents who were nice.” He then asked to read monologues for the agent who, after Evans finished school early to audition for pilot season, got him a role on 2000’s short-lived Fox comedy “Opposite Sex”—plus plenty of other auditions he did not book.
“Oh, god,” he says when the subject of auditioning comes up. “Ninety-five percent of the work is rejection. Those first 10 years, you’ve got to put the gloves on for every job and you’ve got to get in the ring.” For the first half of his career, Evans emerged from most auditions convinced he not only wasn’t getting the part, but that he wasn’t getting any part ever again. “When all you hear in your head is that high-pitched buzzing sound and your palms are sweating and you feel like you can’t catch your breath,” he deadpans, “that’s the opposite of trying to drop into a moment.”

Beidou and GPS, positioning in the end who is stronger?
As a member of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Club, navigation and positioning is a basic function. First look at how the positioning function compares:
The process of receiver using satellite positioning can be selected in a two-dimensional abstraction to select at least four points (satellites) on a blackboard, with each point as a center, each drawing a circle with chalk (receiver-to-satellite distance measured). The overlapping area of handwriting is the result of positioning. Because of various kinds of errors, the result of measuring each satellite is more like a piece of chalk, not a line without width.
The thickness of the chalk is affected by various error mechanisms. Compass and GPS are mainly different in the accuracy of the atomic clock on the star. The second generation of the Beidou uses the cesium atomic clock. The GPS uses the helium atomic clock to combine the cesium atomic clock. GPS is at this point. Better, that is, chalk traces more detailed. However, now the Beidou third-generation satellites use hydrogen atomic clocks. The frequency accuracy has increased from 5×10-13 to 6×10-14, and the frequency stability has increased from 2×10-14 (1d) to 6×10-15 (1d). Compared with the second-generation satellites, it has increased by an order of magnitude, reached the world's leading level, and the positioning accuracy will be further improved.
In addition to the influence of chalk thickness, obviously the more dots are drawn, that is, the more satellites there are, the smaller the overlap area is, that is, the more accurate the positioning, but if these points are concentrated on one side, or even overlap, The overlapping areas of the chalk traces they draw will become very large, whereas the more dispersed these points, the lower the chalk trace overlap, which means that the receiver will obtain more accurate positioning results. This parameter to measure the position distribution is the so-called PDOP value, the lower the better the distribution, the more accurate the positioning result.
When the Beidou generation really positioned slowly and had poorer accuracy, it all happened that after more than ten years, there were people who felt that the Beidou was not a good thing. They said that there were "less satellites," "still under construction," and "the accuracy was far worse than GPS." ?
In fact, starting from the second generation of the Beidou, the constellation was designed for the Asia Pacific region. Unlike the US MEO-based model, the GEO+IGSO+MEO model was adopted. The advantage is that fewer satellites are used to quickly achieve high accuracy in key service areas. The disadvantage is that high-latitude regions have poor reception effects for GEO, the precision factor is too large, and the other side of the earth cannot receive it. With the increase of Beidou satellites, These problems will be solved later.
Even so, today, when the three generations have not been used yet, look at the current accuracy of the Beidou. Let's choose the northernmost point in China: 52.4476° north latitude. The official Beidou 2nd generation service area is only available. Between the northern and southern latitudes of 55°, what is the visibility of Beidou satellites 24 hours a day in this position?
As can be seen, there are at least eight Beidou satellites with elevation angles above 10° available throughout the day.
Contrast to the current GNSS club "first brother" GPS, satellite visibility here:
Did you find that the number of visible satellites is not as good as Beidou? The feeling is whether it is possible to engage in big news such as "GPS was defeated in China by the Big Dipper..."
Of course, blind arrogance is also not desirable. There are always some fake news about Beidou’s “secondary killing GPS”. It is not good for the public to know the Beidou. In addition to using the security of its own navigation system, GNSS clubs who can not kill anybody who is good, not long ago China and the United States have signed the "Beidou and GPS signal compatibility and interoperability Joint Statement", mutual backup and more harmonious ... ...
Just now that there are many BeiDou satellites, but the positioning can not only look at the number of stars and eat the loss of the constellation set. The elevation angle of the BeiDou GEO received here is too low and the geometric distribution is poor, so the accuracy factor is poor:
The Beidou geometric accuracy factor reaches a maximum of 6.0 and fluctuates. Compared to GPS, the maximum is 4.4.
This is because the Beidou GEO satellites are suspended above the equator. The elevation angle received here is less than 30°. The inclination of the IGSO satellite orbit is 55°. This is also the head of the “8”-shaped trajectory, so the 1 and 4 quadrants In most areas, there are basically no stars. The combination of these factors leads to a large DOP value for the Beidou, but it is still not a problem to meet the 10m accuracy.
So you have to say here that BeiDou is not as good as GPS. Of course, with the three generations of networks, this gap will soon be gone and a few more MEOs will be better.... The GPS trajectory distribution of this place is below. :
Next, erroneously select a point in southern China: 26.6940° north latitude and 109.9688° east longitude. This coordinate is visually measured in Hunan. How is Beidou satellite visibility?
At least ten stars are visible, then look at the GPS:
Still the same as before, the difference between North and South is not significant. The emphasis is on the DOP value. Can it be a war? The Beidou DOP value is as follows:
The maximum does not exceed 3.4, then take a look at GPS:
Can ignore the particularly high point, the basic is still within 4.4, but obviously the Beidou's smoother!
The reason why we can maintain a good position distribution throughout the day is because we can receive Beidou GEO satellites and IGSO satellite signals steadily here. MEO satellites are only a minority, rather than GPS, which is composed of MEOs. The change will continuously change the satellites involved in positioning, and Beidou will not introduce the introduction of large numbers of errors in the calculation of the jumps and low elevation angles caused by the replacement of positioning satellites. The lower the satellite elevation angle is, the more air the signal passes through. The more errors are introduced, the more signal fading, and the more affected by multipath and other factors.
Here, Beidou’s GEO satellites can be seen all day, and the IGSO satellites can be seen in more than half of the time. The MEO satellites do not stay in one place, but turn their own circles around the earth, so they will repeat continuously and repeatedly. From the low elevation angle into the field of view, rise to a certain height, and then reduce the cycle of the elevation angle out of the field of vision.
After considering these factors, the Beidou is definitely no worse than GPS. Overall, in the current Beidou second-generation service area, Beidou’s all-day visible stars exceed GPS, and most areas in the constellation distribution are also better than GPS, but taking into account the differences in the precision of atomic clocks and the distribution of constellations in high and middle latitudes. It is said that Beidou is comparable to GPS or reliable, and it is also in line with actual measurement results. However, now that the construction of three generations of networks is underway, the number of Beidou satellites is steadily increasing, and the most critical atomic clock problem has also been solved in the third generation. By that time, we will not be humble!

Children and young people are the future of the world. Around the world, there are a large number of young people. Magic Bus works with poor children and young adults and hence focuses on helping them transition from a difficult childhood to a life filled with purpose. Magic Bus has been conducting a childhood to livelihood program with this topic in mind. To make the most of this immense demographic potential, we must combat poverty and unemployment, the two foes threatening to squander our demographic dividend. The struggle against poverty starts in the classroom. Allowing children to finish secondary school, imbuing them with life skills such as cooperation, problem-solving, and communication, and making them more robust to the effects of poverty, will start the process of eradicating poverty. Magic Bus accomplishes this with the support of its award-winning sports and activity-based curriculum. Magic Bus is increasing children’s self-efficacy and resilience, which means they will be able to postpone the age of marriage in their country. This also means that, with secondary education and hopes for a better future, most of these children will seek skill-based training to find work, furthering the cycle that will lift them out of poverty.
Magic Bus’s Livelihood program kicks in, assisting young people age 18 in developing the necessary skills to find work in the organized sector. The Childhood to Livelihood approach positively impacts the lives of 3,75,000 children and young adults in 22 Indian states. Since 2015, Magic Bus has expanded its working periphery in Bangladesh, Nepal, and Myanmar with the objective of a sustainable childhood to livelihood. In Bangladesh, Magic Bus is working on the program with its implementing partner Eco-Social Development Organization (ESDO), in the northern part of Bangladesh. ESDO is the local implementing partner that has been implementing this program in Thakurgaon and Panchagarh districts since its inception in Bangladesh. The current scenario is that ESDO is implementing this program in Atowary Upazila under the Panchagarh district. The program covers a vast number of students (children and adolescents) in 10 schools in the implementing area. However, this survey has tried to explore the level of awareness about education, nature of school systems and community for girls’ education, gender attitude and behaviour, and aspiration. A mixed approach has been used in this study, where the qualitative approach is dominant in nature. This survey has included 257 sample adolescents and children from 06 schools using the Child-Parent Registration Format (CPRF) of 1518 children in the project area. After collecting the field data, an excel sheet and SPSS software were used for data input and analysis. The analyzed data refer to the significant portion (24.9%) of the respondents belonging to Bolorampur High School who are studying in classes six and seven. It is also found that a considerable percentage of the students (89.9%) do not know their date of birth in the surveyed area. Survey also finds that the rate of school enrollment and attendance of the respondents are outstanding in number. At the same time, the majority of them go to school to increase their knowledge and develop a better future. It is seen that a significant portion come to school because they enjoy classes and they meet with their friends respectively in the surveyed area.
Interestingly, all respondents have argued that they come to school unintentionally or are compelled or pressured by parents or other reasons. Most of the children in this study said that illness and school are very far restraining their school enrollment. It is observed that a proper hygienic environment, good medical services, and awareness should be built to reduce child illness.
Most of the student’s inclination to study at home has been impacted (97.3%) by the COVID-19. In contrast, the majority of the family of the respondents have managed tuition teachers for the continuation of the study during the pandemic. Moreover, the survey finds the nature of menstrual hygiene and the girls’ care. In contrast, most girls go to school and use clothes, sanitary, napkins, and pad during the menstrual cycle in the study area. Most students have opined that the school environment is a better place in terms of getting time to play with my friends (before lockdown), practising rights to be in school, and using the toilets in the school to urinate and defecate. In addition, it can be summed up that a significant portion of the respondents (48.2%) can play three to four times a week in school and village playground as well as a homestead for playing different types of plays.
Survey also finds that gender-based perception about playing outdoor sports of the female person and talking to the opposite gender person is moderate where supportive and programmatic interventions can take place to change their understanding for a better and gender-sensitive and friendly environment in the study locations. Adolescents ponder that families should spend the same amount of money on the medical care of both boys and girls. If this kind of thinking state could exist in the society and the community, then gender-based equality in promoting sound health and well-being can be found for both males and females. It can be said that in the study area, there still exists patriarchal dominance in every sphere of society. Gender-based knowledge should be developed widely throughout the schools and study centres for the gender-sensitive and gender-responsive community. Data shows that some difficulties and influential factors force male members to the practical or outside work rather than practising art or similar act. The findings indicate that changes may occur during puberty; the girl should share about this kind of situation like hesitancy or shyness about playing or running to the trustworthy person like the teacher, parents, and others. It is also observed that a significant portion of the students think they should work to get something if they want it and make decisions to help them achieve their goals. They know how to organize a time to complete all responsibilities and school work.
In contrast, a dominant portion of the students get mad or angry quickly and yell at people, and they sometimes break or throw or drop things on purpose and occasionally hit the people when angry. Most respondents have said that education is much more important to them than other activities. The data trends show that the existing pattern of the resilience of adolescents should be increased for a better and enabled generation.
The study also finds that a portion of respondents gives a partial amount of pocket money to their mother or elder to keep it safe for further and periodic use who save their pocket money in the places mentioned above. It is found that only a few students have a bank account that has been opened their bank account with the help of their parents. Knowledge of COVID-19 and the behaviour of the respondents are at the nominal stage. In contrast, some of the respondents know covid-19 spreads by coming into contact with the infected person, an infected person sneezes on others, and one can be infected by touching hand, mouth, nose, and eyes. The knowledge of human trafficking of the respondents is feeble. At the same time, it is seen that a few of the respondents have heard about human trafficking and 161 respondents of the study know that human beings are trafficked through the border. Regrettably, it is found that only 2 of the respondents know about school as a trafficking preventive organization or child helpline working in the border areas to curtail human trafficking. Field data indicate that poverty and promising employment are the main reason behind human trafficking. At the same time, almost all adolescent has argued that adolescent is needed to be educated to prevent human trafficking in the study area.

Our lives revolve around music. We relate to it, we react to it, we sing to it. We may not always see its importance, but it is always in our presence. If not heard, it is thought about, if not important to us, it carries us through every step of the way. That is the beauty of music, no one can ever take it away.

Man tells judge he grew marijuana
Updated 10:07 pm, Monday, June 6, 2011
NASSAU -- A village man admitted Monday he was growing marijuana in his home last year.
The plants were discovered after police responded to a report that Thomas D. Martell threatened two women he assumed were prostitutes, authorities said.
Martell appeared before Judge Robert Jacon and pleaded guilty to criminal possession of marijuana. He will be sentenced in August to time already served in county jail and five years of post-release supervision. Jacon said Martell may be eligible for the Drug Court program.
"I had it growing in my basement and got caught with it, your honor,'' Martell told Jacon.
Nassau village police said they responded to Martell's Tremont Drive home March 27, 2010, after two women fled his house and claimed that he pulled a knife on them after they refused to have sex.
Police said they found 52 pot plants, two shotguns, an explosive and more than $10,000.
Martell originally was charged with felony criminal possession of marijuana, felony criminal possession of a weapon and menacing.
Police at the time said Martell contacted the two women through the Craigslist to provide him with a back massage, but when they arrived at the house he demanded sexual services.

The European Environmental Bureau has accused certain EU member states of “sabotaging” negotiations over EU circular economy and waste law proposals following leaks of private EU Council meetings discussions.
Scottish manufacturing SMEs with innovative circular economy ideas or projects are being encouraged to access up to £1 million in grant funding to explore sustainable business opportunities and aid the transition to circular business models.
A route map to turn London into one of the world’s most resource efficient cities has been launched by LWARB, calling on stakeholders from local government to community groups to carry out a range of actions targeting five key areas including food waste and plastics.
When it comes to being resource efficient, turning a waste stream into a resource is about as good as it gets, and always has been. Why, then, is industrial symbiosis an idea that has struggled to gain traction in the UK?
Former European Environment Commissioner Janez Potočnik and Liberal Democrat environment spokesperson Baroness Parminter have been confirmed as the keynote speakers at June’s Resourcing the Future conference.
The EU’s main institutions will meet to discuss Circular Economy legislation for the first time next Tuesday after the European Council agreed a negotiating mandate that is believed to contain a 60 per cent recycling target for 2030.
The Liberal Democrats have promised to support the transition to a circular economy, pledging to introduce a Zero-Waste Act and a 70 per cent statutory waste recycling target for England in their manifesto.
