Related Posts Movies are filled with big, bright 3D holographic images. Whether it is Tom Cruise manipulating items out of thin air in Minority Report or Robert Downey Jr. going all mad scientist in Iron Man, 3D images have little real-world equivalent.We can dream though.Holographic and more advanced volumetric displays are just but a twinkle in scientists’ eyes. True 3D projections for commercial or industrial uses is still years away. (The “Futurist’s Cheatsheet” series surveys technologies on the horizon: their promise, how likely they are, and when they might become part of our daily lives. This article is Part 4.)What Is It?You remember in Star Wars Episode IV – A New Hope when Leia sent a message to Obi-Wan through R2-D2? The little picture of Leia imploring, “help me Obi-Wan, you’re my only hope.” That was a holographic display. Taking holographic displays further, there is also the notion of volumetric displays that create a life-like 3D object. According to 2002 research done by Actuality Systems, “volumetric displays create imagery that appears to float in a volume.” The image can be seen from a variety of angles without screens or goggles. How It WorksThere are two ways that volumetric displays can be created: swept-volume display and static-volume display. Swept-volume displays use the persistence of vision to create volumetric images from “rapidly projected 2D ‘slices,’” according to Gartner’s description of in the 2012 Hype Cycle report. This can be done by projecting images onto rotating mirrors within an enclosure. Static-volume displays use “voxels” (the volumetric equivalent of pixels) to create 3D images. Potential ImpactA holographic display would allow you to talk with a representation of a person through a communicator terminal, like the small disk that Darth Vader used to communicate with Emperor Palpatine. A volumetric display could go further, showing a person that looks real but is instead only a visual representation. In the short term, there is little practical application for these technologies. The advantages of a high-definition volumetric display (HDVD) could be applied to a variety of industries. Drug creation, medical imaging, oil exploration, mathematical analysis, airport security and product design could all benefit. ChallengesVolumetric displays are expensive and difficult to produce and are barely beyond research phases. Holographic displays are a little more common, such as in retail environments. Perhaps the most impressive commercially produced holograph is Hatsune Miku, a complete holographic Japanese pop star that performs live on stage. Much of the challenge involved is finding a business model that supports the technology. In relation to our current technology (we are just getting used to FaceTime), there is as yet little need for holographic or volumetric displays.Holographic and volumetric displays require a lot of computing power and moving parts, which could make systems unstable. “The use of holographic techniques is, by far, the most advanced, but due to the intensive computing calculations required to generate the holographic image, the cost of generating the display image is one of the hurdles toward real-life adoption,” wrote Gartner’s Stephen Prentice. When Will It Be Ready?Very simple volumetric displays have been prototyped, and there are basic holographic technologies in use. But the full vision of the technology is much further over the horizon, perhaps 20 to 30 years.While some commercial uses of holographic technology will be seen sooner than later, the true depth of volumetric displays will take a lot of time to develop and make commercially viable. The advantages of 3D displays, such as visualizing large data sets will eventually be a significant way in which research is conducted. It is cool to think of, but you will not be talking to your mother via hologram any time soon.Additional InformationActuality Systems (2002): 100 Million-Voxel Volumetric Display (PDF)Stereoscopic Displays and Applications (2003): A Static Volume 3D-Laser Display (PDF)Spie.org: Volumetric 3D display provides true perception of objects Tags:#Features#Future Tech#web dan rowinski A Web Developer’s New Best Friend is the AI Wai… Top Reasons to Go With Managed WordPress Hosting Why Tech Companies Need Simpler Terms of Servic… 8 Best WordPress Hosting Solutions on the Market read more
From H S RaoLondon, Aug 22 (PTI) Coaches and sports scientists from India have teamed up with experts at Britains University of Birmingham to learn how their athletes can boost their performance, following Team GBs outstanding Olympic success.A 25-member team of coaches and sports scientists from India reached here on Saturday, and today commenced their two-week-long programme, a university spokesman told PTI.Thegroupincludes Indias fastest man and 100 metres national record holder Anil Kumar Prakash, now an athletics coach, and is led by Rajdeep Kaur Talwar, Dean of Faculty of Sports Sciences at National Institute of Sports, Patiala.Experts from the School of Sport, Exercise & Rehabilitation Sciences and University Birmingham Sport have put together a comprehensive programme for the visitors.The university has seen student Lily Owsley and alumna Sophie Bray win gold in the womens hockey, whilst alumnus James Rodwell scooped silver with the Rugby Sevens ? part of Team GBs record haul of 67 medals in Rio.The Indian group includes coaches from athletics, hockey, volleyball, kabaddi, swimming and gymnastics.Indian sports scientists from a range of disciplines including nutrition, sports medicine and physiology have travelled to Birmingham.Put together by the Sports Authority of India (SAI), the groups arrival in Birmingham follows Martin Toms discussions with the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports and SAI about how the university could help the countrys athletes boost their performance.”Were delighted to welcome our sporting guests to Birmingham.

Vidharbha need three wickets to upset former champions Karnataka and book their maiden berth in the final of the Ranji Trophy.Ganesh Satish (81) and Aditya Sarwate (55) ensured Vidharbha put up a strong performance in their second innings, setting Karnataka 198 to win.With a batting line-up consisting Mayank Agarwal, Karun Nair, CM Gautam and Stuart Binny, not many would have expected Karnataka to finish the penultimate day precariously at 111/7. (Delhi storm into Ranji Trophy final, Mohammed Shami 6-wicket haul in vain)However, Vidharbha put Karnataka under early pressure when Umesh Yadav removed Agarwal in the third over of the innings. It was a nightmare for Karnataka from thereon as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals.First-innings centurion Karun gave Karntaka some hope with a fluent 30 but he became the first of Rajneesh Gurbani’s four victims as Vidharbha took a stranglehold over the semi-final.The onus is now on skipper Vinay Kumar to stage a sensational lower-order fightback and take Karnataka to a dramatic victory when play resumes on Day 5. read more
MONTREAL — When other parts of their game are sputtering, the New York Rangers have two key assets to fall back on — penalty killing and goaltending.It’s a combo that has put them within one victory of their first Stanley Cup final in 20 years. And it has frustrated the Montreal Canadiens, who must win Game 5 May 27 at the Bell Centre to stave off elimination.Against the Rangers, the Canadiens are 1 for 17 with the man advantage.Montreal’s lone power-play goal came May 25 in a 3-2 overtime loss at Madison Square Garden. That P.K. Subban blast from the point, however, was tempered by a short-handed goal by Carl Hagelin that opened the scoring.The Canadiens’ power play went 1 for 8 on a night when the Rangers spent 14½ minutes or almost 22 percent of the game a man short.“Give credit to our killers and our goaltender,” Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. “They did a real good job.”That is nothing new. Before Subban’s goal, the Rangers had killed off 27 straight penalties. New York is 37 for 39 (95 percent) on the penalty kill in its past 12 games“We had the opportunity on the power play but we didn’t take advantage of it,” Montreal coach Michel Therrien. “Yes, we scored a goal. It was a tying goal, but we gave up one, and that was the story of the game. I thought our power play had to be better.”The Rangers’ go-to forward pairing on the penalty kill is Hagelin and Brian Boyle. Hagelin uses his speed while Boyle’s resume reads “big body, blocks shots, good on faceoffs,” according to Vigneault.Boyle can also pass a bit, finding Hagelin on a pass deep from the New York end. Hagelin broke in alone, faked a shot and tucked a backhand between the legs of Dustin Tokarski at 7:18 for his sixth goal of the playoffs. It was the Rangers’ first short-handed goal in 70 playoff games, dating to 2008.The New York penalty kill is smart and sleek. Goalie Henrik Lundqvist has worked hard on his puck handling and his defenders are positioned well.“I think our guys do a good job whether it be on the forecheck coming back in the right positions and trying to create those battles where you’ve a chance to make a couple plays and get it out,” Vigneault said. “When we don’t, (our) goaltender stops the puck.”In four games, Montreal has seven goals on 107 shots.While Tokarski has won kudos for his play in stepping in for the injured Carey Price, Lundqvist’s playoffs numbers are sparkling — a .931 save percentage and 1.98 goals-against average.The Canadiens are going to need Tokarski to continue to play well if they want to extend their season.“It’s no secret: you start doing the right things, you start getting rewarded for it and momentum builds,” captain Brian Gionta said. “You keep carrying that.“A couple of teams have been able to do that this year, the Kings and the Rangers. So it’s not something that can’t be done and with the group we have in here, we believe we can do it. And we believe we’ve got better as the series goes on.”Gionta and Tomas Plekanec were part of a Canadiens team that came back from a 3-1 deficit to upset the Washington Capitals en route to their previous trip to the conference final in 2010.And they remain without Price, the Canadian gold medalist from the Sochi Olympics in February who suffered a possible right knee injury when New York’s Chris Kreider crashed the net in the second period of the series opener.Price skated for about 20 minutes without equipment before the team’s optional practice, but Therrien said he will not be back in this series.For Gionta, hope comes from a feeling that his team is getting better and still has time to turn things around, as they did when they fell behind 3-2 to the Bruins in the conference semifinal.The Canadiens rebounded with their best game of the playoffs in Game 6 and closed it out in Boston two days later.“We were able to wear (Boston’s) defense down with our speed and forechecking,” he said. “We need to get better at that and I think that’s what we’ve gotten better at as (the New York series) went on.“Try to take advantage of their defensemen down low, try to spend some time in the offensive zone, and start to make breakdowns and make things happen that way. Our backs are against the wall. It’s win or go home. I would expect the same kind of effort as we had against Boston for sure.”Beating Lundqvist three straight times will be tough. He has 41 career playoff wins, tying him with Mike Richter for the most in Rangers history. His counterpart, Tokarski has played all of 13 NHL games — 10 in the regular season and three in the playoffs.Lundqvist picked up an assist on Derick Brassard’s second-period goal, his first in 85 postseason games. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, he is the first Rangers goaltender to record a playoff assist since Richter on May 11, 1997.The Rangers have allowed two goals or fewer in 13 of their 18 playoff games, including six of the past seven games.One question for the Rangers will be whether Derek Stepan can return from his broken jaw in Game 3. Over the weekend, he dropped by the arena to see his teammates before returning home to recuperate from surgery.Martin St. Louis is on a roll for the Rangers. His overtime winner Sunday extended his point streak to six games. He leads the Rangers with 13 points in these playoffs.TweetPinShare0 Shares read more

Middlesbrough’s owner, Steve Gibson, predicted his team were set to “smash the Championship,” and Hull City’s new manager Leonid Slutsky spoke of celebrating promotion by “singing, rapping and dancing”. Three hours’ drive up the road at Sunderland, Slutsky’s freshly-installed Sunderland counterpart, Simon Grayson, revealed his ambitions to manage “this great club” in the Premier League.Fast forward a little over half a season, and despite each being in receipt of £47m worth of parachute payments this term alone, the trio of sides relegated from the top tier last May have all changed manager.Although Tony Pulis, who replaced the sacked Garry Monk at Boro on Boxing Day, still harbours play-off ambitions, his new side currently sit a modest ninth. So much for a summer transfer market spending spree approaching £50m. Share on LinkedIn Share on Twitter Meanwhile Hull, now under Nigel Adkins’s charge, are 20th, four places above bottom-placed Sunderland, now managed by Chris Coleman. The pair meet at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.“This division is improving all the time,” says Ian Holloway whose QPR side entertain Boro on Saturday. “All the coaching and the coaches are improving. All the managers know how to stop you and your team; everyone’s got access to the same data, the same analytical tools.”Throw in the reality that, in terms of ability, there is very little between the majority of Championship players and it is easy to appreciate that, of the three sides relegated at the end of the 2015-16 campaign only Newcastle United – “coached by Rafael Benítez, the most illustrious coach to have managed at this level,” reflects Holloway – made an immediate return to the Premier League.Yet the problems endured by Norwich City and the currently resurgent Aston Villa had very different root causes to those besetting Boro, Hull and Sunderland. Boro’s have, broadly, been philosophical. Essentially, Monk’s attempt to rip up his predecessor Aitor Karanka’s ultra cautious, extremely defensive blueprint and replace it with a much more expansive approach backfired.Monk persistently talked of the difficulties of getting the balance right between attack and defence. “Change doesn’t happen overnight,” he said, the day before his dismissal. “It’s taken a bit longer than I’d hoped but the players I inherited had one system drilled into them every day for three years; it’s not easy to change the style.” Sunderland Reuse this content Pinterest Facebook Boro possess some fine players but the psychological impact of relegation should not be underestimated Share on Messenger Read more Share on Pinterest Middlesbrough Topics Twitter Hull City Hull’s former manager Leonid Slutsky was described as a ‘broken man’ when he left the club. Photograph: Thomp/ProSports/Rex Shutterstock Championship Share on WhatsApp Share via Email Similarly radical change – albeit primarily of personnel – helped ruin things for the first Russian to manage in England. Previously in charge of CSKA Moscow and Russia, Slutsky arrived in East Yorkshire all smiles but departed a sullen figure dubbed a “broken man” by club insiders.Between June and 1 September he had overseen the departure of 16 members of Marco Silva’s old squad and signed 11 players for a collective £16m. The departees included key midfielder Sam Clucas, who joined Swansea for £15m, Harry Maguire, a talented defender who moved to Leicester for £17m and left-back Andy Robertson, an £8m Liverpool capture.Of the 28 players that started a Premier League fixture for Hull last season, only 11 remain on Humberside. Wolves’ John Ruddy: ‘Everyone’s thoughts are always with Carl Ikeme’ features Despite spending a decade in the Premier League, Sunderland had made so many transfer market mistakes and fallen into such deep debt that Grayson was only able to invest £1.25m on 10 new faces while offloading 15 senior professionals.Moreover he was left with some disaffected individuals, most notably centre half Lamine Koné and £13.6m record signing Didier Ndong. That pair are not the only ones who no longer want to be on Wearside.“When you take over a football club and you don’t have such good characters then it ain’t half hard,” said Holloway following QPR’s 1-1 draw at Sunderland in October. “It might be that the not good characters are on far too much money, aren’t your signings and aren’t happy at the club. I’m not saying Sunderland have those problems but without stability it’s very difficult.”Coleman, installed in November, has since spoken of the club requiring “a thorough cleansing” – and the perils of tackling a relegation “dogfight” with “kittens”. He is desperate to re-home Jack Rodwell, his unwanted £70,000-a-week midfielder, but unsurprisingly there are no takers.Boro possess some fine players, the £50,000-a-week defender Ben Gibson and the £15m striker Britt Assombalonga among them, but the psychological impact of relegation should not be underestimated.“I’ve been part of a relegated side [at Southampton] and there is a hangover, it can be difficult,” says the former Sunderland defender Danny Higginbotham. “Confidence dips. When a team gets relegated, it’s because they’ve lost a lot of games; it takes time to get that belief and resilience back.“Often, scoring the first goal is vital. When Boro have scored first they’ve tended to win but, after conceding first, confidence can be sapped.“Boro bought a lot of players last summer but there’s plenty in the dressing room who were there last season, and it’s not easy to recover and go again. Mentally, some players take time to get back to the level they need to be at.” Share on Facebook read more
BIGGER BUDGET MEANS BETTER HIGHWAYSImproving and sustaining transportation infrastructure is a keypriority for ensuring Nova Scotia’s economic and social well-being. With good roads, products can quickly get to market,children will arrive safely at school, and tourists will return.The Province of Nova Scotia will invest about $307.5 million in2005-06 to improve Nova Scotia’s highways, roads and bridges forthe benefit of all motorists — a $44-million increase over lastyear.

Manchester: Indian skipper Virat Kohli once again has come to defence of underfire MS Dhoni, saying the wicketkeeper-batsman is a “legend of the game” whose keen understanding and experience has held the team in good stead and won them many matches over the course of the years. “Dhoni knows exactly what he wants to do in the middle. When he has an off day here and there, everyone starts talking. We always back him. He has won us so many games. The best thing about having someone like him is when you need those 15-20 runs, he knows exactly how to get them. His experience, eight out of 10 times has come good for us,” Kohli said on Thursday after India’s emphatic win over West Indies in the ongoing World Cup. Also Read – Djokovic heaps praise on ‘very complete’ Medvedev “We have quite a few players who play instinctive cricket and follow their game plans. He’s such a keen understanding of the game. Always sends us feedback, that you know 260 is a good score. He’s a legend of the game. We all know that. Just hope he can continue,” he added. Dhoni was criticised by many for his slow batting against Afghanistan where he took 52 balls to score 28 runs which had reduced India’s scoring rate in the middle overs and the Men in Blue managed to score just 224 runs in their allotted 50 overs which eventually they were able to defend on the back of some disciplined bowling from Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami. Also Read – Mary Kom enters quarterfinals, Saweety Boora bows out of World C’ships Legendary Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar was among the ones who criticised Dhoni, saying that the stumper should have shown more positive intent during his time at the crease against Afghanistan. Even on Thursday, Dhoni started off slowly and scored just 20 runs of the 40 balls he faced. However, later on, he scored at a brisk pace and finished with unbeaten 56 off 61 balls, thus helping India to post a par 268/7 at the Old Trafford. During the course of his innings, the 37-year-old scored three boundaries and two sixes. It was the strong bowling line-up of India which once again came with a brilliant performance to bundle out the Windies for 143, thus helping the Men in Blue register a 125-run victory in Manchester. “Things haven’t gone our way with the bat in the last two games, but we have still done well to win, that’s being the most pleasing thing,” said Kohli while pointing out that the batting department needs to improve. “Last two games, things haven’t gone like we thought they would. These haven’t been massive scoring games. But we’ve found ways of winning. Intensity has been the standout thing for me. Mindset really matters. Nothing is impossible. We feel we can win from any situation,” he added. With the win, India have now 11 points from six games and are placed below Australia who are at the top of the standings. read more
By Jorge BarreraAPTN National NewsA Vancouver Island chief backing Shawn Atleo in the current race for national chief of the Assembly of First Nations is calling on opponents to refrain from “wrecking ball” rhetoric in the campaign.Atleo is facing seven opponents in this year’s election, including four women.“We have to tone down the rhetoric,” said Snuneymuxw First Nation Chief Doug White. “We don’t want rhetoric swinging through like a wrecking ball.”White said the attacks against Atleo over his perceived too-close relationship with Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government follow a pattern in AFN elections where the incumbent is often faces criticism over their relationship to the sitting government.“Look at the history of all the rhetoric around national chief elections for the last 20 years and you will see the ebb and flow of discussions when we have a national chief who is engaging and working with rather than fighting,” said White. “Candidates line up and say false accusations or overstate that someone is on the path of assimilation or too cozy with the feds. This has happened with previous national chiefs.”White was responding to comments made by Onion Lake Cree Nation Chief Wallace Fox who said Atleo was enabling the Conservative government in pushing First Nations toward assimilation. Fox, who is backing former Roseau River chief Terry Nelson in the race, formally nominated Atleo as a candidate in 2009.Fox, whose community is in Saskatchewan and covered by Treaty 6, said Atleo ignored the desire of prairie chiefs to have the AFN focus on pressuring the government to recognize treaty rights. Fox said Atleo’s decision to push ahead with a national panel to study on-reserve education despite the objection of Saskatchewan showed he wasn’t listening. He said Ottawa’s plans to streamline First Nation education with the provinces ignored the treaties, which Fox said guaranteed First Nation control over education.White, whose community is signatory to the Douglas Treaties of the 1850s, said Atleo is a strong advocate of treaty rights .“There has not been a national chief that has taking such a strong focus on treaty,” said White. “Quite the opposite from what Chief Fox is saying, there is nothing going on some path of assimilation.”White said Atleo has been pushing a treaty implementation strategy, birthed from a 2010 resolution from chiefs, that chiefs have been meeting on figuring out the best ways to have treaty rights respected and realized.It’s not Atleo’s job, however, to define how those rights get implemented, said White.“The work of treaty implementation belongs to me as chief of the Snuneymuxw, or to Chief Fox as the chief of his people. It doesn’t belong to the national chief’s role as an advocate. The AFN is not a treaty holder,” said White. “I don’t think any chief should be waiting for the national chief to do their work for them. I think (Atleo) is creating real opportunity and space for local treaty chiefs to do their work more effectively. He is raising the issue in a way that it has never been raised before.”Aside from Nelson, Atleo is also facing challenges from two AFN vice-chiefs including George Stanley, from Frog Lake First Nation, and Dene National Chief Bill Erasmus, from the Northwest Territories.Four women are also vying for the job of national chief and they include: Ellen Gabriel, a Mohawk from Kanesatake who rose to prominence as a spokesperson during the Oka crisis, Joan Jack, an Ojibway lawyer from the Berens River First Nation, former Treaty 3 grand chief Diane Kelly, a lawyer from Ojibways of Onigaming First Nation, and Pam Palmater, a Mi’kmaq lawyer and professor at Ryerson university.The vote is scheduled for July 18 in Toronto. Only chiefs can vote in the election.jbarrera@aptn.ca read more
The report, Confronting the Crisis: Its Impact on the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Industry, highlights some harsh realities for the industry and explains how it can position itself for recovery in the future.“Despite difficult times, there are reasons to be optimistic,” said Hamadoun Touré, Secretary-General of the UN International Telecommunication Union (ITU) at the launch of his agency’s report yesterday. Speaking at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Mr. Touré added that innovation is the key to recovery, stressing that “having contributed consistently as a high-growth sector in its own right, ICTs can now power economic recovery across all sectors. “Along with stimulus packages put together by Governments, the ICT industry must continue to invest in infrastructure and the roll out of cost-effective services, such as next-generation networks (NGNs).”The report noted that although credit is now more difficult to come by and more expensive, with financing costs on average 3 to 4 per cent higher year-on-year, savvy businesses can take advantage of the economic turmoil to reposition their services for the upturn. Funding is still available for firms with sound business models, established demand and early projected cash flows, according to the report. But it stressed that alternative sources of financing are now needed, with a growing role for government and economic stimulus packages.Responding to the financial pressure facing the private sector, some Governments have stepped in to diminish the impact on the transition to NGNs, which can carry voice, data and media services simultaneously. Several administrations have also announced commitments to invest in their national infrastructure, while others, such as the European Union, have included the roll-out of broadband networks in their economic stimulus packages. The report highlighted the soaring growth in the mobile telephone business in developing countries, especially in large emerging markets, including Brazil, India and Nigeria, which registered record additional subscribers in September and October 2008, as an example of opportunity for growth. 17 February 2009The global financial crisis could provide entrepreneurial opportunities for budding information and communication technology (ICT) businesses, which in turn can power economic recovery, according to a new United Nations report. read more
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg will today announce £213 million of joint government and industry investment to strengthen UK advanced manufacturing supply chains – creating over 11,000 new jobs and safeguarding another 5,000.Over £73 million has been awarded from Round 2 of the Advanced Manufacturing Supply Chain Initiative (AMSCI) to 12 national supply chain projects and a further £140 million will be invested by the private sector.Designed to support projects that deliver economic growth and promote closer collaboration within the supply chain, AMSCI accepts applications from established advanced or high value manufacturing sectors, such as automotive, aerospace and chemical industries. It also welcomes applications from new growth areas where the UK is well placed to take a global lead, such as renewable energy and other low carbon sectors.The automotive sector was a major beneficiary from Round 2 of the fund and full details of successful projects are available here.Nick Clegg said, “Boosting jobs and growth is my number one priority to build a stronger economy. This investment will secure Britain’s future as a world leader in industries like cars, where we have traditionally taken the lead, and new technologies such as wind turbine gears and semiconductor chips.”Following the announcement – to be made at the 2013 BIS Manufacturing Summit at the Heritage Motor Centre in Warwickshire – the Deputy Prime Minister will be joined by Business Secretary Vince Cable to tour Aston Martin in Gaydon as the company marks its centenary year.They will see production of the new Rapide S cars and announce support of £1.6 million from Round 2 of the Regional Growth Fund to develop the project and has helped to bring manufacturing back to the UK.The move creates 20 new jobs and protects over 70 further roles at Aston Martin’s headquarters in Gaydon as well as at the new facility in Coventry.Mr Clegg continued, “Investing in the iconic Aston Martin means that our home grown expert engineers will make the Rapide S here which is excellent news. The Regional Growth Fund is all about giving power to businesses and investing in projects that will have a long-term impact on local areas.”Business Secretary Vince Cable MP said, “Aston Martin is an iconic British brand, so it should be made in the UK. Otherwise it’s like having champagne from Bulgaria or a Swiss watch built in Swaziland.“As we celebrate Aston Martin’s 100th anniversary, it’s encouraging to see the company investing in new technologies and creating valuable British jobs outside of London.

Independence Group’s Nova nickel operation is set to play host to Australia’s first fully-integrated commercial hybrid diesel/solar photovoltaic (PV) facility after the company signed a contract amendment with remote power generation specialist Zenith Energy.The changes to the existing power purchase agreement, signed by Zenith and Independence back in 2015, will incorporate a solar PV facility with a forecast 12.5 GWh/y.Zenith’s subsidiary, Zenith Pacific, will now build, own and operate a hybrid diesel/solar PV power station of around 26 MW in installed capacity to “reliably and efficiently service the power needs of the Nova operation”, the company said.Zenith has made huge strides since becoming a public entity via the ASX in May, sealing contracts with the likes of Gascoyne Resources, for its Dalgaranga gold project, and Dacian Gold, for its recently opened Mt Morgans gold mine.Managing Director of Zenith Energy, Hamish Moffat said: “This development represents the first fully integrated and commercial hybrid diesel/solar PV facility in Australia and is a step forward in future renewable energy solutions.”The solar PV will include “state-of-the-art PV modules, single axis tracking, inverters, communications and control system technology”, Zenith said.The hybrid power station will incorporate high efficiency diesel-fuelled generators and solar PV generation.The integrated facility is expected to be completed within the first quarter of Zenith’s 2020 financial year (to end-June, 2020). The initial supply period is for six years with an option for Zenith to extend for a further two years.Independence Group’s Managing Director, Peter Bradford said: “The development of this innovative hybrid energy solution will…improve our cost structure with targeted renewable power insertion of up to 50% of demand via the solar PV facility.”Nova is in the Fraser Range of Western Australia, some 160 km east-northeast of Norseman. It produced 22,258 t of nickel and 9,545 t of copper in its first full year of operation in the 2018 financial year. read more
Facebook Twitter: @NeosKosmos Instagram Sometimes the only people that know what a carer is going through is another carer facing the same burdens, the same challenges. In Australia’s multicultural community, often people with disability or those caring for them have an added burden, as they are battling language and culture barriers. With ADEC Greek Carers Group proposed to take off this October in Melbourne’s western suburb of Werribee, in the City of Wyndham, carers of Greek background will have the opportunity to share their experiences and support, and learn from one another in a group setting.A not-for-profit organisation, ADEC (Action on Disability within Ethnic Communities) strives to empower people living with disabilities from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds (CALD), their carers and families to fully participate as members of the Victorian community, and to ensure that service systems are inclusive and responsive to their needs. And Effie Meehan knows best the importance of assistance for people with disability and their carers within ethnic communities, the need of which inspired her to found ADEC in the early 1980s.Greek Australian Effie Meehan, one of ADEC’s most prominent ambassadors and facilitator of Greek groups, told Neos Kosmos the proposal for the Greek Carers Group in the western suburbs comes after a successful 10 year running of a first of its kind group in Preston. With support from the City of Wyndham council that will provide the location, the Werribee group is expected to take off in late October.“There is a need for these groups in Werribee, with its large Greek – and Italian – community. “Our group in Preston arose from six and ten members, to 18-30 carers that attend the sessions now. We go out once a month, another month we have sessions that always feature a guest speaker, and the carers love it. They are looking forward every month to the next meeting of the group,” Effie told Neos Kosmos. “These groups are very important because these carers often can’t go out at all as they look after someone with disability, and also they can’t speak English. When they come to the group, they have common things and experiences to share – they talk, they laugh, they cry together. “I would like to encourage all the Greek carers from the Wyndham area to join us.”ADEC have been providing assistance to people living with a disability and their carers from CALD backgrounds for over thirty years. Some of the services they provide include advocacy, multicultural respite, group activities, EAL training and transcultural mental health assistance. The goal of ADEC’s Transcultural Mental Health Access Program is to improve access to mental health services for people from CALD backgrounds. The information session date for the Greek Carers Group in Wyndham will be held on Wednesday 22 October, from 11.00 am to 1.00 pm, at the Civic Centre, 45 Princes Highway, Werribee.Detailed information about the work that ADEC undertakes can be found at www.adec.org.auFor more information about Greek Carers Groups contact ADEC on 03 9480 1666 or info@adec.org.au read more
Greffe d’organes : une loi contre le tourisme de transplantationFrance – Une députée vient de déposer une proposition de loi visant à lutter contre le tourisme organisé dans les pays pauvres en vue d’une greffe d’organe.Cadre en milieu hospitalier, la députée UMP Valérie Boyer a déposé le 19 octobre dernier une proposition de loi qui a pour but d’endiguer le tourisme de transplantation. Si elle est adoptée, ce sera sous forme d’un amendement au projet de révision des lois de bioéthique. Le phénomène du tourisme de transplantation reste assez marginal en France, puisque seulement trois cas ont été avérés en 2009, sur quatre patients greffés à l’étranger. Au niveau mondial, selon l’Organisation mondiale de la santé, 10% des transplantations effectuées chaque année sont issues de transactions financières entre “touristes-patients” et personnes démunies, dans des pays en voie de développement. Ces pratiques concernent majoritairement des greffes de rein avec des donneurs vivants, principalement en Chine, au Pakistan et aux Philippines.Le 22 octobre 2010 à 11:33 • Emmanuel Perrin read more

AT&T Sprint CNET may get a commission from retail offers. Sprint 1:58 Internet Services Mobile $T CEO Randall Stephenson responds to $S lawsuit pic.twitter.com/uzt3odZHID— Squawk Box (@SquawkCNBC) February 8, 2019 $999 Sprint calls the branding a “lie.” John Greim/LightRocket via Getty Images Sprint sued AT&T on Thursday over its use of 5G E branding on phones that are only tapping into advanced 4G LTE.AT&T started using the 5G Evolution marketing last year, reasoning that it serves as a foundation for true 5G next-generation cellular technology. However, 5G E doesn’t mean your 4G phone can actually connect to a 5G network — causing rivals Verizon and T-Mobile to slam it as “fake 5G.” The Sprint lawsuit claims that AT&T is using “numerous deceptive tactics to mislead consumers.”Android phones started displaying 5G E connectivity in January, and it reportedly started appearing on Apple iPhones in recent days. Sprint’s lawsuit highlights a survey it commissioned that found 54 percent of consumers think AT&T’s 5G E is the “same as or better than a 5G network” and 43 percent incorrectly think they can currently buy an AT&T phone that can connect to a 5G network.Sprint also took issue with AT&T Communications CEO John Donovan’s comments at a CES 2019 keynote address last month, where he expressed pride that his company “broke our industry’s narrative” with the branding. His comments highlight how aggressive and confusing the carriers’ race to 5G has become.In an emailed statement, Sprint said AT&T is “deliberately deceiving consumers” with the branding.”AT&T is just like Sprint and all the other major wireless carriers currently operating a nationwide 4G LTE network,” Sprint spokesperson Lisa Belot said in the email. “AT&T’s deceptive ads have harmed consumers by persuading them to purchase or continue purchasing AT&T’s services based on the lie that they are offering 5G.”Verizon spokesman Jeffrey Nelson took a swipe at AT&T on Twitter.”5Ge. It’s pretend, it’s fake, it’s the kind of BS that gives marketers, communicators businesses and the wireless industry a black eye,” he wrote. “So let’s have some fun. Some people call it “Faux Five G”. There’s “5G Eventually”. What’s your name for @ATT false marketing?”Sprint filed the lawsuit in US District Court in the Southern District of New York.

Hyderabad: The new triad power, which is India, China, USA are replacing countries like Japan, Germany, French, England. Interestingly India is becoming very strategic to both major superpower US and China. “US is desperate to have India on its side, earlier we needed America, today US needs India more than ever before for its strategic interest and China needs India as badly,” said Prof Jagdish N Sheth as part of the lecture series organised by the Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE) here on Monday.
