ICARUS Quiz – 4. Aviation Safety Quiz review

Our penultimate aviation safety quiz was held on 14 June 2020 and it produced the best result so far.

Our team with Ing. Victor Manuel del Castillo and Daniel Bustamente, both from Mexican company “Safety Management System México” created a forth set of 20 questions based on ICAO Document 9859 and Annex 19 that describes Safety Management System in aviation.

More details about the third quiz:

  • 20 questions from ICAO Annex 19 and Doc 9859 SMS document with multiple choices and only one correct answer
  • time limit to 30 minutes
  • 1 bonus question where participants were able to make their own remarks
  • 23 registered participants from all over the world successfully completed the quiz

We continued the style from the previous quiz with few use-cases and we are proud that this was so far the best scored quiz that gave an average score of 70.6%. What has shown as a trend is that participants who already have participated in the previous quizzes and continue to play regularly started achieving higher results.  There were 102 registered participants and 23 successfully solved the quiz with 5 of them starting but never finishing the quiz. We have noticed that the average time to resolve the quiz was higher than other quizzes with the average total time being 18 min 49 sec. We found a nice correlation with higher results if the participants take more time to solve the quiz.

From the ones who successfully solved the quiz we bring to you the following statistics:

In the graph above its noticeable that majority of the participants were between 60-80% that produced such high average score. However again the most populous set group are those ones between between 60-70% just like in the previous quizzes.  The best result this time was by the participants “HarisLy” and “9MBAB” who managed a score of 90% once again. Congratulations to all of them and also to all participants who solved the quiz.

An interesting statistic has shown the relation between correct and incorrect answers. We have made a screenshot of the statistics for both parts and have made a highlight of each.

The easiest questions by statistics were:

  • 11. What is the recommended Action for a tolerable risk? (23/23 correct)
  • 4. On the safety risk tolerability table, what are the 3 different Safety Risk Description? (21/23 correct)
  • 18. In your opinion: What immediate consequences would there be as a result of this event in the picture? (21/23 correct)

On the other hand, we have a statistic of incorrect answers. This gives us and our participants better insight which area of their knowledge needs more focus.

The hardest questions by statistics were:

  • 19. The following image shows an event during the replacement of an engine. In your opinion this is? (5/23 correct)
  • 7. Personal electronic devices (particularly mobile phone) in the cockpits should be turned off from the start of the flight until the end of it, this recommendation is: (7/23 correct)
  • 8. The following image shows the result of the opening of the covers of the right engine of the aircraft on climb due to not having properly activated its latches. In your opinion, this event is an? (10/23 correct)

Just like in the previous quiz, the most difficult questions were our experimental questions with use-cases. Even though they pose a risk to be interpreted in different ways, we have decided to use them again.

The image for the 19.questions which had the least number of correct answers

The answer for the hardest question is “None of the above” due to the fact this is just simple maintenance event of engine replacement. Most of the users responded that it is an aviation incident. As for the electronic devices question its recommendation is astute meaning its just a wise recommendation not mandatory requirement what a lot of participants chose.

After an advice from one of our participants, we decided to implement an idea of showcasing best comments on bonus questions in our aviation safety quiz reviews.

For this quiz the bonus question was “What methods and actions you would do to increase the safety reporting numbers from your employees?” and we received a lot of interesting comments in both English and Spanish.

We are bringing to you some of those we found very interesting:

Promote the system based on real events, and that the staff realize that the SMS is to improve processes and Operational security within the organization.

1. Analyze, explain and demonstrate the benefits of reporting culture to all employees through training and/or other means (information bulletin, notices, newsletters)
2. Highlight and clarify the confidentiality of the reporting scheme to all employees.
3. Establish an effective and inviolable anonymous reporting system
4. Take steps to facilitate reporters (e.g web-based reporting forms, accessible either from mobile phones)
5. Communicate to the entire company through a feedback system, the benefits on safety performance from specific received reports.

It would encourage staff through the course of human factors, especially in errors at work, implement and keep the disciplinary policy active, indicating that there would be no punishment, on the contrary that each report would help the system to detect failures and new dangers.

easy reporting process described in procedures; – quick feedback on reports; – reports made by managment and top management – to show reporting inplementation examples; – organisation needs to work according the procedures, if almost nobody follows the procedures the reporting is useless;

First of all I would check if the lack of reports is across all disciplines (FLT, CAB, DSP, MNT, GRH, CGO, SEC if incorporated within the SMS reporting system in the company), or only in some areas to focus on those that need more motivation. If it is across all disciplines, it is probably an issue with the SMS implementation effectiveness or issue at the departmental levels. I would first launch a survey about HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT SMS and the reporting System to collect data and see where emphasis should be placed. Because as a safety manager if the reporting system is NOT working, I would have a REAL HARD time to justify my yearly budget for SMS!!! Once the root cause has been determined then I would be able to act. However on general terms, so as to answer the question:
1. Confirm all employees know what hazards to identify – do some Hazard Identifying “FUN” campaigns and not the boring hazard identification training courses.
2. Try to improve the feedback process to the people who are reporting and having incentives so others may see the importance NOT only for safety but as “what’s-in-it-for-me WITFM” campaign. (Top departments HALL of FAME or in each department the top report hall of fame but not for reporting anything but reporting events that would really impact on safety)
3. Do more SMS Campaign at all levels, TOP DOWN and BOTTOM UP with the involvement of the Accountable Executive (AE).
4. Review the hazard reporting system … maybe TOO complex and not adapted to the organization.

Next and final quiz starts this Sunday, 28 June 2020, starting from 12:00 UTC and it will be opened for 72 hours so that everyone can join whenever they have free time. The novelty about the last and final quiz will be another opportunity for other participants to solve missing quizzes during this 72 hour period.

Our Vraj

An Institute of Indian Heritage

Vraj at a Glance
Founded in 1988 on the doctrine of Love, Dedication, Devotion and Servitude, VRAJ is a place of pilgrimage for an average of 100,000 Hindus a year.
Nootan Nandalaya (Temple), an abode for God ShriNathji (a manifestation of God Krishna), is built on a 300 acres of bountiful land of VRAJ surrounded by the grandeur of the hills and the accentuated with the tranquility of the wooded valleys and the serenity of the lush green meadows. This spellbinding natural ambience augments the spellbinding beauty of the Haveli (Temple) that is situated on the bank of Chandra Sarovar (lake), in the rich tradition of the royal Rajasthani architectural mystique. Haveli is 60 feet tall, three stories high and has over 50,000 sq. feet of built-up area.

VRAJ, an Institute of Indian Heritage, is a prominent Religious-Spiritual-Social-Cultural center for all Hindus in addition to being the foremost bastion of PushtiBhaktiMarg (Hinduism’s Path of ‘Bliss through Love-Devotion’) in the Western World. Hindus of all faiths come to experience not only the spiritual serenity uniquely bestowed over VRAJ, but also to celebrate their cultural and social events.

Founding Members of VRAJ earnestly believed that in today’s world it has become imperative for any temple to transform itself into an establishment that facilitates an integration of society’s Religious, Spiritual, Social and Cultural needs of the time. Keeping up with the changing world, VRAJ has evolved into an institution bridging the gap between the diverse needs of the Hindu community settled in North America.

To bring together the Hindu Youth, to educate them about the Indian heritage and to pass on to them the traditional value system of India, VRAJ organizes summer Youth Camps (www.vrajyouth.org) year after year in addition to sustaining several youth oriented activities round the year.

VRAJ’s willingness to actively support humanitarian causes such as the Rescue-Rebuild-Rehabilitate efforts in the event of natural disasters has benefited many communities. VRAJ provided timely financial assistance to the earthquake victims of Latur (Maharastra, India) in 1996 and of Kutch (Gujarat, India) in 2001, to the Tsunami victims of Tamilnadu, India and to the victims of hurricane Katrina (New Orleans, USA) in 2005.

Well maintained lodging, boarding, cafeteria facilities in VRAJ Campus can accommodate over 200 devotees who may stay at VRAJ for a day, a week or a month.

Several picnic areas on the grounds of VRAJ Campus offer excellent opportunities to Hindu social groups for organizing their gatherings in the natural environment away from the hustle-bustle of the cities.

Vraj : The Heritage
Not withstanding the popular belief by many Hindus and almost all non-Hindus that Hinduism has many Gods and Goddesses, “The Vedas” (the most ancient scriptures of the entire mankind) declare that ‘There is only ONE GOD (The ParBrahm) who is perceived and worshipped in many forms by various sages and seers.’ “The Vedas” further declare that Bhagvan ShriKrishna is The ParBrahm (Parmatma) Himself. Bhagvan ShriKrishna, known to all Hindus as “Loving God” manifested, in His full form, as ShriGovardhanNathji (ShriNathji) over 500 years ago. Hinduism scriptures declare that ParBrahm also manifested as JaganNath, RangNath, DwarkaNath and BadriNath. In the holy land of India, these four Gods dwell in four directions and the Gods’ God Shri GovardhanNathji dwells in the center at NathDwara (Rajasthan, India).

Bhagvan ShriKrishna in the form of ShriNathji dwells in the Pennsylvania state of United State of America for the benefit of His devotees of North America.

Blessed and Endorsed, in 1988, by the Prime Pontiff of PushtiBhaktiMarg(A Hinduism Tradition), HDH Pradhan Pithadhishwar Goswami Tilkayat 108 Shri Govindlalji Maharajshri of NathDwara, VRAJ’s ShriNathji Temple is the second such temple in the entire world, next only to the 250 years old ShriNathji Temple in NathDwara (Rajasthan,India).

Vraj: The Philosophy
Bhagvan ShriKrishna’s manifestation Shri GovardhaNathji was introduced to His devotes by JagadGuru Shrimad Vallabhacharyaji (Shri MahaPrabhuji). Shrimad Vallabhacharyaji, also known as Shri MahaPrabhuji, was a renowned Spiritual Guru, an eminent Philosopher and a celebrated Scholar of Hinduism in 15th century India. He appeared on this earth in 1479 AD (on the eleventh day of the second half of the month of Chaitra in the year 1535 Vikram Samvat) and stayed on this earth until 1531 AD.

Based on His understanding of The Vedas, The BrahmaSutras, The Bhagvad Geeta and Shrimad Bhagvat, He evolved the philosophy Love-Devotion and institutionalized PushtiBhaktiMarg – a path of devotion through selfless Love for ShriKrishna.

During His life of 52 years, He wrote treatises and commentaries on scriptures of Hinduism as well as many scholarly books.

Shrimad Vallabhacharyaji (‘Vallabh’ means ‘Beloved’) is the GURU who showed us the way of love-filled devotion to experience Bhagvan ShriKrishna.

His descendents, known as ‘GuruDwar’ – A Gateway to The Guru Shri MahaPrabhuji, has been guiding the followers of PushtiBhaktiMarg for the past 500 years.

PushtiBhaktiMarg is a specific way of practicing the Hinduism and so no different then Hinduism. Hinduism believes in One God but prescribes many paths that lead to The Supreme God. PushtiBhaktiMarg is one such path (method) of Hinduism.

PushtiBhaktiMarg means …….

Pushti means Support, Encouragement
Bhakti means Love filled Devotion
Marg means Path, Method

  • It is a Path leading to Parmatma ShriKrishna (ShriNathji).
  • It is a path to experience ShriKrishna’s love.
  • It is a path that teaches a devotee how to completely surrender to ShriNathji.
  • It is a path that teaches a devotee how to have total faith in ShriNathji.
  • It is a path that teaches a devotee how to offer selfless love and devotion only to ShriNathji, without seeking anything but His Love in return.
  • It is a path that promises that devotees’ efforts shall be sustained by ShriNathji Himself.
  • It is a path that promises that ShriNathji shall favor (Grace)
  • all those who shall come to Him.
  • It is a path that is popularly known as ‘Path of Grace’.

In Christopher Nolan’s time-bending, mind-boggling blockbuster the director is in playful mood, peppering the script with sly messages to the audience. “Don’t try and understand it,” says one character early in the film. “I don’t understand it,” says another later, “it’s backwards.”

“Does your head hurt yet? asks Neil (Robert Pattinson) after some indigestible explanation of events. “Yes,” replies the Protagonist (John David Washington) and most of the befuddled audience. In other words, don’t bother trying to keep up with Tenet’s plot. Just buckle up and enjoy the thrilling ride.

In fact, the whole plot could be one big McGuffin, one of Hitchcock’s fabricated but meaningless props to get from A to B. Where is Nolan taking us? He is playing with the concept of time and the outer limits of what cinema can conjure for its audience. “James Bond on acid,” as someone has described Tenet, is only half-right. Its’ muted colour palette and corporate mood is the opposite of psychedelic. But the spirit of Disney’s sorcerer’s apprentice is evident in the fun Nolan has opening his Pandora’s box of technical tricks.

In an opening sequence that will delight those who are tone-deaf to classical music a gang of masked terrorists attack Kiev National Opera House and smash up the orchestra’s instruments. They fight a running battle with guards, who include our unnamed Protagonist. He is caught and tortured before swallowing an odd-looking round metal pill.

Waking up on a ship off the coast of Oslo, he is told by his handlers (who include Pattinson) that he is now working for a secret organisation called ‘Tenet’, whose mission is to save the world from “something worse” than a nuclear holocaust. Like Bond, the Protagonist is shown futuristic gadgets and whisked around the world, from Talinn to Vietnam and Mumbai, via Italy’s Amalfi coast. He bungee jumps off skyscrapers, has some brutally exciting fights and is involved in magnificent car chases.

There’s also a statuesque blonde (Elizabeth Debicki from The Night Manager) and a dastardly villain, the Ukrainian Sator (Kenneth Branagh), who describes matter-of-factly what his men are going to do with the Protagonist’s balls: “It’s very gratifying to watch a man you don’t like try to pull his own balls out of his throat before he chokes.” Branagh is electrifying here, playing against type; any ‘luvvie’-ness has gone the same way the afore-mentioned testicles. Imagine what Charlie Brooker will look when he delivers his verdict on 2020 at the end of the year: that’s how intense and angry Branagh is here.

There’s plenty to enjoy and admire in Tenet. The wonderful John David Washington is still “as fresh as a daisy” here after his breakthrough performance in BlacKkKlansman. ‘Dressed’ by Michael Caine’s city gent, he looks effortlessly cool in a posh suit. But even Washington’s deadpan delivery of some long-winded explanatory dialogue (there’s quite a lot of this in Tenet) can’t quite stop us scratching our heads or yawning. The film does go on a bit; two hours would have been enough and the repetitious tedium of the massed battle at the end felt like watching Attack of the Clones.

For brainy puzzle-solvers, there is an algorithm, temporal inversions galore and the ‘grandfather paradox’ to keep your brain ticking like the clock in Dunkirk. If you pay attention Ludwig Göransson’s Zimmer-like score even contains reminders of those mythical ‘backwards’ messages alleged to be hidden in the run-out grooves of vinyl albums back in the late 60s/early 70s.

Or am I just reading too much into it?

I’ve been in finance for 30 years—and this is how I teach my kids about money

“How do I teach my kids about money?”

I hear this question often, and if you’re a parent, you’ve probably Googled it several times yourself.

In my 30 years of professional experience, I’ve worked as an auditor, investor, tax preparer and financial consultant — and I’ve witnessed the impact of financial literacy (or lack thereof) on countless adults of all ages.

Teaching your children about money doesn’t have to be complicated. You either put in the effort and time, or you don’t. And if you do, it’s best to start sooner rather than later. (According to a 2013 Cambridge University study, children are already able to grasp basic money concepts at age three, and by age seven, their money habits are already set.)

How we teach our kids about money

My wife and I have two kids, both under 14. Like most parents, we don’t want them to suffer from financial anxiety when they’re older. Nor do we want them to be in debt and have to eat into our retirement savings.

The same way we want them to understand the importance of telling the truth or saying “please” and “thank you,” we also want them to understand the importance of money: What it’s worth, why it’s important and how to practice smart habits that lead to success.

In order to do that, we keep things fun and simple:

1. We play “Let’s Go Shopping”

I’ve found that my kids are more engaged in the learning process when it’s experimental or gamified. “Let’s Go Shopping” was a game we played when they were in preschool.

To start, we created a miniature supermarket in our living room — complete with a toy cash register and a farmer’s market fruits and vegetables play set. The register featured a numerical keypad, cash drawer and pretend money.

After my wife and I priced the items, we had one child do the shopping while the other handled checkout. We stood by to facilitate and answer questions. But eventually, they became skilled enough to play on their own.

Stimulating the shopping experience sharpened their math and budgeting skills. It also helped them feel more comfortable talking to one another about money.

2. We play “How Much Does It Cost?”

A game that we continue to play is “How Much Does It Cost?” (It’s basically our family’s version of “The Price Is Right.”)

At the dinner table, we all take turns presenting arbitrarily selected items for sale, along with multiple choice answers for their approximate prices.

A few examples:

  • Water bottle: $0.50, $2.50 or $6?
  • Movie ticket: $4, $10 or $40?
  • Monthly phone bill: $12, $100 or $400?
  • New (basic) car: $5,000, $35,000 or $500,000?

Games like this help them understand the relative values of various products and services.

3. We don’t freely give them money

One of the biggest mistakes I see parents making is offering unlimited funds to their children for non-essentials.

Our kids started getting a weekly allowance when they turned six. We’d give them $6 per week and increased the amount by $1 each year they got older. They could earn more if they did something good that week, like offer to help someone or ace a math test.

Of course, there are no set rules as to how much you should give your children; it mostly depends on your financial means and what you expect them to be financially responsible for.

The consequences of giving your children unlimited funds for discretionary spending (especially after they’ve used up their entire allowance) aren’t realized by most parents until much later.

Children of parents who do this may develop the habit of relying on additional funding sources that can be quite costly, such as debt in the form of high-interest credit cards.

4. We guide them through the budgeting process

The easiest way to teach your kids about budgeting is to budget together.

When my kids get invited to a birthday party, for example, I give them a reasonable budget and help them shop for a gift that stays within their price lane. (My wife and I prefer to do this on Amazon because it’s an easy way to teach them how to comparison shop.)

5. We show them how to put their money to work

When my oldest daughter saved up enough money, we relocated her cash from a piggy bank to a local bank.

“Congratulations! You’re putting your money to work,” I said.

Even though the process makes complete sense to you, it might be too abstract for some children. That’s why it’s important to explain — in layman’s terms — how their money is earning more money (passive income) and how that additional money will continue to generate even more money (compounding).

These are concepts and skills that will serve them for life.

6. We encourage them to do good with their money

My wife and I make it a point to donate to charity or a nonprofit organization every once in a while. It sets a good example for our kids and discourages behaviors of selfishness and greed.

When our kids have saved up enough money, we review a list of charitable organizations together (Charity Watch is a good place to start) and have them pick one that supports a mission they value.

This is a great way to teach them about sharing, kindness and how money — whether it’s $1 or $10 — can be used to help others.

DAYS 6, 7 & 8 – posted from El Centro, CA – March 8

DAY 6 After leaving Jacumba Hot Springs on March 6, we were very close to the the last peak and 8 miles of winding Interstate 8, with 6% grades and speed limits of 60 mph.  Fortunately, the road always had a wide bike lane with a good surface and plenty of opportunities for me to pull off ahead of The Rider. It was another short intense day.  On my part, a bit nerve wracking watching Dave coming down these hills on one wheel, but mostly uneventful. Traffic was light, so that helped. We were eager to get in front of a storm  that would bring snow to the 3500 feet plus elevations we were leaving.  The descent would eventually bring us to El Centro, which is below sea level.

DAY 7 was planned as a layover so Dave could take a break from riding. I selected the Sunbeam RV Park in Seeley, CA because it looked like a nice place to be. It proved to be a good choice – they charged us 1/2 the rate and it had a great pool with another jacuzzi.  We felt a bit like the Beverly Hillbillies among the large RV’s belonging to the snowbirds who wintered there for 4-5 months. Seven hundred campers, mostly Canadian, live on 326 lots. In the small world category, we met Doug & Gail Lear from Monroe, OH, where Dave’s son is an athletic trainer. We spent a fun evening with them at The Real Seelee Bar. Doug shared useful information about his bike trip from San Diego to FL a few years ago. He also introduced us to, where cyclists post their bike travel blogs.

DAY 8 is today.  We thought it might be layover day number two, because rain and high wind warnings were issued that might have prohibited riding for a prudent person. The winds were less than predicted, but still challenging. The sun came out and Dave chose to go for it. He rode his greatest distance so far, 22 miles on a secondary highway into El Centro. No cyclists allowed on I-8 here. The desert views were striking, with wind turbines and mountains in the distance.   I had a lot of fun taking pictures along the way after I found a cup of coffee in Ocotillo.  We are headed back to the Sunbeam resort this evening for another overnight stay.

    sounds like you’re having fun too! You’ll get into a routine as the road flattens out. Keep up the great support!!!

      I’ve been following yours too. Hope to try some recipes when I get home. Will you start a quilting program in Ecuador? It could be a great group-building tool.

‘Glass’ Trailer Preview

First name Mister, last name Glass

First Unbreakable, then came Split. Now we are getting an end to M. Night Shyamalan’s epic Superhero trilogy. Who knew when Unbreakable first came out, about 20 years ago that it would all lead to this? M. Night has gone on to prove that he’s still got it and could create one of the best Superhero trilogies of all time. Now that the trailer just dropped at SDCC, it appears that Glass is going to be an incredible finish.

Everyone is back, David Dunn (Bruce Willis), Mr. Glass (Samuel L. Jackson) and psycho of the year Kevin Wendell Crumb (James McAvoy). The trailer is a bit mysterious, but Crumb is back to his old ways and has kidnapped some girls for the beast to feast on. David accidentally bumps into one of Kevin’s 24 personalities on the stress, which turns into a race against the clock to save the captured girls. Mr. Glass is also trying to use Kevin to his advantage and cause more problems for David.

Everything about the trailer is spectacular, the cinematography, the visuals, the cast. This is going to be such a wonderful treat, and knowing M. Night we don’t even know the half of what we are going to witness next year. Twists will happen, and with him, always, expect the unexpected. Personally I believe Unbreakable is Samuel L. Jackson’s greatest performance because it’s just so far out of his comfort zone. I can’t wait to see him dive back into this character and see how much he has evolved. M. Night was making gritty, dark and serious superhero movies before it was even cool to do so, Unbreakable doesn’t nearly get the credit it deserves.

Check out the Glass SDCC trailer below!

Stephen Curry dresses as Jigsaw Killer for Halloween and nails it

This is the Warriors’ two-time MVP Steph Curry entering Oracle Arena for Sunday night’s game against the Pistons dressed for Halloween.

Curry, of course, is Jigsaw Killer from the series of Saw movies whose signature is not killing his victims, but forcing them to kill each other. Perhaps it’s a metaphor for the impact Curry has on opposing defenses.

Curry through six games is third in the NBA in scoring, averaging 27.7 points per game. He’s averaging nearly 11 three-point attempts, but is off to a slow start by his standards, making just 33.8 percent.

Perhaps the best part of Curry’s entrance is riding his tricycle right through the metal detector at security.

Chico Army Air Field – A Camera Trip Through Chico Army Air Field (PDF)

32 pages
Spring Mud of the Sacramento Valley oozed ankle deep under the rain on an April day in 1942 when the advance echelon of Air Corps men reached the spot that was to become Chico Army Air Field. The advance echelon had come by motor convoy from Moffett Field, where the flying school was getting ready to move in order to make room for the Navy. Field kitchens were set up, tents were pitched, and the men started the big job of building a flying field. April 29 saw the first training flight from the new post, and already the field was swinging into high gear. By May 23 all personnel and every plane had moved north from Moffett and the school was officially on its own. Since the day of activation Chico Army Air Field has trained hundreds of cadets, many of them now flying with combat outfits on fighting fronts throughout the world. They have received virtually every decoration possible. But the men and officers of the post have contributed more to the war effort than flyers. They gave Chico Army Air Field the distinction of being first in the Army Air Forces to have 100 per cent of its personnel purchasing War Bonds on the payroll savings plan. A full ten per cent of the field’s payroll goes into War Bonds. Recognition for outstanding achievement came before the base was even six months old. The field was cited for “an outstanding contribution to the war effort” as pilots and cadets completed a tool of 94,355 flying hours here and at Moffett without a fatal training accident. This total was increased until seventeen months had elapsed without a fatality. Chico’s contributions to the war and to the peace to come are many. Its contributions of the next year will be recorded in the skies over Europe, and, we hope, Japan.

Reopening Of The Prime COVID Testing Spots And A Lack Of Enough Vaccine Doses In The LA

Coronavirus has mutated and many countries are in a panic, doing further research on its behavior forecasting how the spread of the new virus could have a global impact.

Since the new strain of coronavirus is gaining its momentum by hitting the US again, Dodger Stadium and a few other spots have been reopened to the public for taking vaccinations to avoid any widespread of the disease. Dodger Stadium had earlier been shut down due to a persisting supply problem but has reopened. According to the Los Angeles Healthcare officials, The second dose shots will be what the infected will be getting to stay safe.

Reopening Of The Prime COVID Testing Spots And A Lack Of Enough Vaccine Doses In The LA

A considerable dosage of the Moderna vaccine will be automatically allotted to people who were vaccinated in January. A supply of 54000 Moderna doses and 4000 Pfizer vaccines will be prioritized and vaccinated among people according to the list.

4600 doses will be vaccinated among people coming to the  Pierce College vaccination spot and other mobile clinics that provide services in widespread areas in the southern and eastern areas of Los Angeles.

Reopening Of The Prime COVID Testing Spots And A Lack Of Enough Vaccine Doses In  The LA

To get their initial dose, more than a thousand people would be ready waiting at the Cal State  campus, Los Angeles on Tuesday. A new body is to be operated under the state and federal emergency management agency to help the public with the vaccinations.

Brian Ferguson Spoke’This is a direct federal allocation separate and apart from what is going to the county’

The vaccination center will capacitate a maximum of 6000 infected people for 8 weeks. This is a part of the Biden ruling efforts to launch 100 effective centers nationwide that supported infected people to get vaccinated. Thus a widespread new strain of the virus can be controlled and the Cal State and Oakland, Alameda coliseum was selected to help the people defend themselves from the virus. These areas were selected because they were served less in the past. This change could be focused to bring the situation under control. This was an assurance to those communities who were left behind, and to give them hopes that they will not be left behind anymore.

The officials of the Joe Biden government said that group tickets to make avail of the vaccination will be allocated to churches and social service agencies. This was implemented so that people who had barriers with language, technology, or other problems get an appointment easily. So far, 6 million vaccines have been administered in California and 1.5 million in the L.A County.  Last month was a peak time, where the average death rate was 241 per day. The officials said that the number of deaths has been controlled and but the need for more vaccines has not stopped yet.

The supply indeed has a shortage and some of the health care departments stated that the supply was limited, unpredictable, and inconsistent. The LA mayor stated that the city has the right determination, infrastructure, and tools to help people with healthcare services. But what lacks is the doses of vaccines. Without enough vaccines, it’s like an obvious graveyard and people need more doses of vaccines as the population is solely depending on the government healthcare service providers.

One of my best memories growing up was being in the choir. I loved learning and growing musically. It didn't matter if there was an audience or not. It was just fun to be with my friends, make new friends all while singing different kinds of music, and having fun. Even today I can remember certain songs that we would sing. A song will come on the radio and I'll just start belting it out as the memories come flooding back to me. Music just has a way of doing that. #memories

Kentucky Youth Chorale

This takes me right back to the late 70s'. It was a staple in choir practice at that time. I still know every single word when it comes on the radio!

Did you sing "The Sound of Silence" in choir? I think everyone did because the melody and tone were just so beautiful. I remember it fondly.

And, what about this 70s' classic from Chicago? It gets stuck in my head every time I hear it. How about you? #choirclassic

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.

AMD Confirms: Navi 23 GPU Has 64 ROPs and 32 Ray Tracing Cores

TechPowerUp Editor-In-Chief "W1zzard" received confirmation yesterday from AMD that the Navi 23 GPU will indeed have 64 ROPs; the same as it's previous Navi 22 GPU, VideoCardz reports.

AMD Navi 23 GPU. Source: TechPowerUp

Aside from AMD announcing that the Navi 23 GPU is currently in use as the Radeon RX 6600M and three other unreleased projects, Elon Musk has also stated that the new GPU is in Tesla's Model S information and entertainment system - something that is quoted to rival the Sony Playstation 5 console's processing power.

AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT RDNA 2 Graphics Card Official – Navi 23 GPU, 2048 Cores, 8 GB Memory & Faster Than RTX 3060 For $379 US

This new information now adds more speculation to other details of not only the Navi 23 units, but Radeon's RX 6600M, Radeon Pro W6600(M), and the Radeon RX 6600 XT GPUs.

TechPowerUp breaks down the specs for the AMD Navi 23 GPU:

AMD's Navi 23 GPU uses the RDNA 2.0 architecture and is made using a 7 nm production process at TSMC. With a die size of 237 mm² and a transistor count of 11,060 million it is a medium-sized chip. Navi 23 supports DirectX 12.0 (Feature Level 12_1). For GPU compute applications, OpenCL version 2.1 can be used. It features 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units and 64 ROPs. The GPU also contains 32 raytracing acceleration cores.

The Navi 23 GPU utilizes up to 32 CU (compute units). That is intriguing, considering that none of the products to be launched have been confirmed to only use 28 CU.

Last September, we posted a comparison of the Navi family of GPUs, including the new Navi 23:

PropertyNavi 10Navi 14Navi 12Navi 21Navi 22Navi 23Navi 31
num_cus (computed)40244080403280

"WhyCry" at VideoCardz states:

AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT RDNA 2 Graphics Card To Be Unveiled at Chinajoy 2021 This Weekend

Both the mobile Radeon RX 6600M as well as a desktop and mobile workstation Radeon PRO W6600M feature 1792 Stream Processors. With that in mind, 10 TFLOPs of FP32 compute power is already impressive enough because it means those GPUs peak at 2.9 GHz within 90-100W TDP.

With the public having no access to the Navi 23 GPU or any driver information for the new GPU, there is still a large amount of guesswork and speculation until AMD releases information on their new graphics cards, such as the Radeon RX 6600XT GPU. But, this new information about the Navi 23 GPU definitely helps give us most of the clues regarding the RDNA2 chips powering both Sony and Microsoft's home consoles.

Avvenire, CEI, Card. Bagnasco, Il Giornale, PM Berlusconi

What goes on in the Church in Italy has subtle effects on the Church throughout the world.

The daily of the Italian Bishops Conference, Avvenire, is in the midst of a controversy.

This is from CNA… with my emphases and comments.

Catholic newspaper editor who criticized Berlusconi resigns, Cardinal Bagnasco reacts

Rome, Italy, Sep 4, 2009 / 03:53 am (CNA).- An intense row between a leading Italian Catholic newspaper and Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has led to the resignation of the newspaper’s editor over what he called “diabolically engineered” rumors reported by a newspaper owned by the Berlusconi family

Dino Boffo, editor of the Italian Catholic Bishops Conference’s daily paper Avvenire, resigned a week after the newspaper Il Giornale reported that Boffo had accepted a plea bargain and paid a fine in a 2004 lawsuit after being accused of harassing a woman.

Il Giornale claimed that Boffo had a homosexual relationship with the woman’s partner. The paper also charged that Boffo was a hypocritical moralist who should not criticize Berlusconi’s lifestyle because of his own past transgressions, Reuters reports.

Boffo, who has edited Avvenire for 15 years, denied the report and said the woman was harassed by someone else using his cell phone.

Berlusconi is presently going through a divorce and has been facing media scrutiny over his relationship with an 18-year-old aspiring model and allegations he spent a night with a call girl in his Rome residence.

According to the London Times, in an August editorial Boffo said that because of Berlusconi’s alleged actions “people have understood the unease, the mortification, the suffering that such an arrogant abandonment of a sober style has caused us.”

In response, the prime minister, who is also an influential media business magnate, has said he is “no saint” but has not done anything improper. He has accused left-wing media [by implication Avvenire?] of mounting a smear campaign against him and has filed lawsuits against Italian, French and Spanish publications for libel.

Reacting to the allegations against him, Boffo wrote a letter to Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, the head of the Italian Bishops Conference, saying, "For seven days my name has been at the center of a storm of gigantic proportions."

"I cannot accept that a war of words that is upsetting my family and increasingly startling Italians … keeps developing around my name for days to come," he said, according to Reuters.

Boffo said it was now clear that the scandalous accusation against him was “a colossal fictional set-up which was diabolically engineered.”

Prosecutors in the harassment case against Boffo denied that any court document contained references to any sexual relationships. They said they did not investigate the possibility of a third person using a cell phone in the harassment case because they did not think it was credible.

The Department of Social Communications of the Italian Bishops’ Conference (CEI) has released a statement in which CEI’s president, Cardinal Bagnasco, said he accepted Boffo’s resignation with “sadness.

“Personally and on behalf of the entire episcopate, I confirm my profound gratitude for his deep commitment shown through many years of competence, rigor and passion,” the cardinal wrote.

Dino Boffo provided a service “extremely precious” for the life of the Church and Italian society, the cardinal continued, offering “our unmoved appreciation for his person, the object of an unspeakable attack in the media."

In response to the attack on Boffo, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone cancelled a dinner with Berlusconi scheduled for last Friday. He and many church officials and party leaders have expressed solidarity with Boffo, accusing Il Giornale of mud-slinging and dirty tricks.

According to Reuters, Boffo has thanked church leaders for their support but has insisted his resignation is irrevocable.

“The Church has better things to do than strenuously defend one person, even if unfairly targeted," he said.

You might recall that recently the noted vaticanista Andrea Tornielli published on his blog, Sacri Palazzi, his story about the CDWDS’s plenary session and its recommendations to the Holy Father about reverence in worship.  You might recall that the Holy See Press Office rushed to deny, with a non-denial denial, the substance of Tornielli’s story.  You might recall that Tornielli writes for Il Giornale.

    Perhaps it’s my lack of orientation in the Italian media culture, but….I don’t see what is the connection you’re implying between Tornielli’s statement and the face off between Berlusconi and Avvenire. Perhaps that Il Giornale is striking back at the Vatican for impuning the integrity of one of its writers?

  2. Phil_NL says:

    Regardless of this sad affair, I still wonder why the Bishops should have a daily to begin with. Besides spreading the good, it’s also a sure way of getting involved in muck one would rather keep a healthy distance from. Let others do the hatchet jobs, even if they are warranted. There will be no shortage of candidates for it.

    (Not to mention the fact there are plenty of issues on which Catholics of good faith can differ – while any newspaper will inevitably take positions on those debates as well, diminishing the respect for the bishops as the paper will appear to carry their preference (even if it doesn’t)).

  3. GOR says:

    “You might recall that Tornielli writes for Il Giornale.”

    Which may also explain why Tornielli has not commented on it on his blog. Paolo Rodari, however, has commented on his blog. He states that Boffo’s resignation was offered earlier in the week and rejected. The article in Il Giornale does appear to have been an attack on CEI and the Church in Italy – not just on Boffo personally.

    Berlusconi does NOT have a relationship with an 18-years-old young woman. She got acquainted with him. Stop.

Silence speaks volumes

Instant gratification.  Self-centred behaviour.  Personal promotion.  We are now inured to these expressions.  Examples of these can be seen in social media every minute of each day.  Circulation of “feel good” and “spiritually enlightening” messages that encourage recipients not to “break the chain” and reap tremendous benefits.  Selfies broadcasting travel itineraries with pictures at the airports when departing/arriving.  Clicking and circulating pictures of the meal one is about to eat and of the people gathered around the table.  Self-congratulatory “humbled to receive” announcements at being nominated for some award.  Pictures modelling the latest acquisition of clothing, accessories, or a car etc., etc.  All this might have been considered gauche, even boorish behaviour a few years ago.  But societies change, fads come and go and then something new comes along to grab our attention.

This does not necessarily mean that we are self-centered.  Perhaps we feel isolated.  We can connect with people of our choice and are able to communicate with anyone instantaneously, transcending geographic and time zones.  It appears that while everyone wants to talk no one is willing to listen.  Perhaps that is why an individual feels the need to, metaphorically speaking, “shout” to be heard and get acknowledged.  This is perhaps even more essential today because each of us is vying for attention to claim our aspirations and a share of resources that may be in short supply.  This struggle may apply to any part of our lives, be it jobs, consumer products or even meaningful, lasting relationships.

We repeatedly hear about, or may even have witnessed the proverbial tableaux of people sitting down for a “family” dinner with each member of the family self-centeredly glued to her/his device.  I recall my mother and her mother-in-law both admonishing my father many years ago and not allowing him to read the morning newspaper when seated at the breakfast table.  My brother and I were not allowed to carry our comics or engrossing novels to the dining table.  Instead, conversation was encouraged and everyone participated.  Fortunately, our children have continued this practice and no books, toys or other distractions are permitted at meal times with their own kids.

A Greek philosopher had stated, “We have two ears and one mouth for a reason; so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.”

 “Seva” is a lovely Sanskrit expression that means selfless service.  This concept features prominently in all faiths and the followers of each faith are encouraged to serve the community.  Perhaps the greatest “seva” one could perform is to simply open oneself to another and listen attentively to another person without prejudice, making them feel special.  I meet with a senior person regularly and often we sit in comfortable silence for 15 or 20 minutes.  Each time as I get ready to take his leave, he smiles and says, “Thank you for coming, I really enjoyed our chat today.”

Listen in silence and enjoy a chat with yourself today.

Allow the fragrance of this lovely ghazal by Zia Jalandhari, soulfully sung by Abida Parveen to envelop you:

Rang baatein karein, aur baaton se khushboo aaye, Colors (start to) speak, and (our) tête-à-tête turns fragrant …
Dard phoolon ki tarah mehake, agar tuu aaye … like a bouquet of flowers radiating from (my heart) ache, when you arrive (come to me)
Bheeg jatee hain is ummeed pe aankhe har shaam,  Each evening (my) eyes tear up in the hope …
shaayad is raat, woh mehtaab lab-e-juu aaye … that perhaps this night, that (person with the visage of the) moon, the one with eyes like a lake might come
Hum teri yaad se kataraa ke guzar jaate magar,

Perhaps I could have tried to dodge past memories of you …
raah mein phoolon ke lab, saayon ke gesu aaye … (but) banks of flowers (like the touch of your lips) and their shadow, like your dark tresses stood in my way (every thing reminded me of you)
Aazmayish ki ghadi se guzar aaye to ‘Zia’,

Having passed the testing moment (of our separation), “Zia” (poet’s pen name) …
jashn-e-gham jaari hua, aankh mein aansoo aaye … the celebration of sorrow burst forth and tears came to my eyes

6 Replies to “Silence speaks volumes”

  1. Yes, nicely expressed sentiments Pankaj. I find an abiding pathos in most of the self focused social media posts…an unfulfilled longing for human connection – any connection at all.

  2. The distance between two people can be traversed on the busy highway of words or the more scenic route of silence. That, I guess, depends on whether it’s a Monday morning memo or a Sunday brunch with the one who can read your thoughts.

  3. Hey Pankaj! I remember being the class clown way back in one of my grade nine math classes., and Mrs. Lanz, our math teacher, admonishing me with one cutting phrase. “Mr Frattini” she said ” I’ve found in life empty vessels make the most noise”. Grade nine was a long time ago and I can’t remember what I learned in grade nine math but I can certainly remember Mrs Lanz life advice. We need to ponder our need for noise and attention. Your post is a wonderful reminder to do just that.

Things change fast in the world of digital, and it’s already been three months since we published our Digital in 2017 series of reports in partnership with Hootsuite, so it’s high time for one of our global ‘Statshot’ updates.

As you can see in the SlideShare embed below, the digital landscape has already changed considerably over the past 90 days, with mobile social in particular posting some stunning growth numbers:

Digital Data: The Headlines

Just before we get stuck into this quarter’s key stories, here are this headline user numbers and growth stats:

Global Internet Users: more than 3.8 billion people around the world use the internet today, up 38 million since January 2017. This 1% increase takes global internet penetration to 51% – in other words, people who don’t use the internet are increasingly in the minority.

These latest figures show slightly slower growth than we saw during 2016, but that’s more likely due to slower reporting* than it is to an actual slowdown in user growth (*see the note at the bottom of this article for further clarification).

Global Social Media Users: 110 million people started using social media over the past three months, taking the global total to more than 2.9 billion users. This means that social media users are still increasing at a rate of more than 1 million per day – that’s 14 new users every second.

Quarterly growth of 4% is also a sign that social media continues to gain momentum around the world, and I expect we’ll see global social media penetration reach 40% by the time we publish our next quarterly Statshot.

Global Mobile Users: GSMA Intelligence have reported an additional 43 million new unique mobile users around the world since our January report, representing growth of 1% during the past 3 months. The total number of unique mobile users now stands at 4.96 billion, and we’re edging closer and closer to the magical 5 billion number.

The use of a mobile phone is now ‘normal’ around the world too, with almost two-thirds of the entire global population now using a mobile on a regular basis. More and more of these users now own a smartphone too, and the latest data suggest that more than half of the world’s population now uses one of these powerful devices.

Mobile Internet Users: the rapid spread of smartphones has led to significant growth in the number of mobile internet users in recent months too, with the number of people around the world accessing the internet via mobile reaching almost 3.4 billion by early April 2017.

93% of all internet users now go online via mobile devices (phones or tablets), and with the majority of new internet users now ‘phone first’, mobile’s share is likely to increase even more over the coming months.

Mobile Social Media Users: as we’ve seen in every one of our reports over the past few years, mobile social media continues to see the fastest growth across all our key data points. Mobile social media users grew by 149 million in the past 3 months – that’s up 6% in the past 3 months alone, with roughly 50 million new users per month, or more than 1.6 million new users every day. The total number of people around the world accessing social media via mobile devices now stands at just under 2.7 billion, representing global penetration of 36%.

Digging Deeper: Top Digital Stories in Q2 2017

The dominance of mobile internet use holds up when we compare the volume of activity, too. The latest data from Statcounter show that mobile phones account for more than 51% of all browser-based web traffic in April 2017, and that doesn’t even take into account internet access through other kinds of mobile apps.

Meanwhile, the share of web activity from laptops and desktops dropped almost 20% over the past 12 months, and now sits at just 43%. Tablets’ share dropped a little too, but my hypothesis is that – because this figure shows share – this is more likely due to the increased use of smartphones, and not because of a meaningful change in tablet use.

The past three months has brought about a number of changes in the social media landscape too, with a number of the world’s most active social platforms changing position in our rankings.

As we predicted in our analysis of our January numbers, the most notable change is WeChat’s continuing rise, and Tencent’s social ‘super app’ has now overtaken QQ to become China’s most active social platform. WeChat’s 5th position in the global rankings is even more impressive when you consider that more than 90% of the platform’s users are in China.

WhatsApp’s recent announcement of 200 million new users is another standout story from the past few months, with the world’s most popular messenger now reporting 1.2 billion monthly active users. However, it’s likely that WhatsApp’s stablemate, Facebook Messenger – which hasn’t published updated user numbers in the past nine months – isn’t too far behind.

It’s worth noting that Twitter remains in the global top 10, despite the regular bashing the platform seems to receive in the media. However, Sina Weibo – China’s most popular microblogging service – now has almost as many monthly active users as Twitter (313 million, vs. Twitter’s 319 million), and Weibo may well seize 10th position in our rankings by the time we publish our next report.

The latest numbers for Viber bring the platform back up the rankings too, with Michael Shmilov, Viber’s COO, telling Techcrunch that the platform now has more than a quarter of a billion monthly active users around the world.

However, Facebook continues to dominate the social world, and the latest data suggest that the world’s favourite social platform added an extra 97 million users over the past 3 months – that’s more than a million new users every day.

Much of that growth came from India, where 22 million people joined Facebook in the past 3 months alone. What’s more, with almost 250,000 new users in the country every day, there’s a good chance that India will overtake the US to become Facebook’s most active market within the next two months. By that time, Facebook should be very close to passing the staggering 2 billion global MAU milestone too.

Bangkok consolidated its position as Facebook’s most active city, with roughly 30 million people in Thailand’s capital using the platform in the past 30 days. However, Thailand still hasn’t reclaimed the title of ‘world’s most social country’, which it recently lost to The Philippines.

Data from GlobalWebIndex shows that the average Filipino still spends more time each day on social media than the average Thai social media user, and the Philippines added 3 million new Facebook users in the past 3 months, compared to 1 million new users in Thailand in the same period.

Facebook has managed to increase the number of people using its platform each day by a considerable amount in the past 3 months, with daily user number up 600 basis points since January – that’s a relative increase of more than 10%. More than 60% of the platform’s active user base now uses the platform every day, up from 55% in January.

The number of mobile users has also increased, with almost 9 in every 10 Facebook users accessing via mobile in the past month. There hasn’t been any change to the platform’s gender imbalance though, and the number of male profiles still exceeds female profiles by a relative 23%. However, there may be more to this stat than meets the eye, as I explored in this recent article on Facebook users’ misrepresentation of their age and gender.

The increased use of mobile social media may be contributing to the steady increase in monthly mobile data consumption around the world. Total monthly mobile data traffic exceeded 8 exabytes in Q4 2016 – that’s 8 billion gigabytes every month, or 3,000GB every second.

What’s more, the latest data from Ericsson suggest that the average global smartphone user now uses more than 2GB of mobile data every month, with video accounting for the lion’s share of this bandwidth.

What’s Next? Conclusions

As I noted in my analysis of our annual report back in January, these numbers all support the fact that connected media and devices are now an integral part of daily life for most people around the world. In particular, smartphones have brought connectivity to more than half of the world’s population, so it’s time for businesses, NGOs, and governments everywhere to stop thinking of digital, social, and mobile as ‘new’ or ‘emerging’ media.

The connected internet experience isn’t the same everywhere though, and it’s important for global organisations to consider how their online offerings will come to life in Los Angeles vs. Lagos, and in London vs. Lahore.

It’s also worth highlighting that the majority of the world’s ‘unconnected’ are probably children, who will come online in due course as a part of ‘growing up’. For reference, more than 20% of today’s global population is under the age of 12, with 10% aged 5 or below.

Making connectivity more accessible to these younger children – through a combination of cheaper devices and data, as well as more ‘sheltered’ online environments – will help bring education, healthcare, and a global perspective to young people all across the world, helping to accelerate improvements in standards of living and offer new avenues to escape poverty throughout the developing world.

If you’d like a more granular look at digital connectivity for every country in the world, you may want to check out the 3,000+ charts in our recent Digital in 2017 series.
*note: it’s often difficult to collect and report accurate and up-to-date internet user numbers, because the internet is not a single entity, nor is it managed by a commercial organisation with a vested interest in maintaining the latest numbers. As a result, it’s often up to governments or NGOs to collect user numbers, and – given the complexity of gathering this data – the information may not be available until several months after the data were collected. Internet user numbers are often collected using sample-based surveys too, which can sometimes give a distorted picture of actual usage. For these reasons, we use a variety of different sources to inform the global total we report here, but our hypothesis is that there are likely even more internet users around the world than these numbers suggest.

Definition of what is an Abscess

An abscess is any localized collection of pus in the body. An abscess forms as a result of invasion by bacteria or other organisms. with consequent breakdown of tissue. Abscesses are often described in terms of their locations. Thus an appendiceal abscess is one occurring within the abdominal cavity in close relation to the appendix, and generally subsequent to a ruptured appendix, i.e., appendicitis.

A lung abscess frequently follows an inflammation in the lung caused by certain organisms such as the staphylococcus, or as a result of violent mixed infections that may occur if vomited material is aspirated into the lungs.

Boils and carbuncles are essentially abscesses within the skin. Since they normally come to a “head,” thereby instituting drainage (which is desirable in healing), they pose less of a threat than similar kinds of inflammations in the organs.

Breast abscess, a fairly common form of abscess, occurs in the tissue of the breast; this is seen most often in post-partum women and in nursing mothers. Most of these abscesses are due to an invasion of the breast tissue by skin organisms which either enter via some minute crack in the nipple or work their way down through the breast duct system.

A breast abscess manifests itself as a warm tender swelling, sometimes accompanied by chills or fever. It may respond to local compresses and antibiotics by mouth. If it does not, the swelling will continue and may become fluctuant (soft), at which point an incision to produce drainage may be necessary. Once drainage is established, the abscess empties itself and healing generally occurs without incident.

A pelvic abscess is one which forms in the pelvic cavity and is often secondary to inflammations of a pelvic organ. Inflamations of the tube and ovary may lead to this, but so also may inflammations of the large intestine. Suppuration of the appendix may also drain off into the pelvic cavity and produce an abscess there.

How to Download and Install Asphalt 8 for PC

Before we start, note that you will be downloading a huge file. We will be using an Android emulator that is around 400MB in size. So unless you have high-speed internet, I suggest that you use Internet Download Manager or IDM v6. This will boost your download up to five times faster.

  5. When the download finishes, double-click on the BlueStacks installer.
  6. Choose where you want to install the emulator or use the default Program Files folder of Windows.
  7. After the installation, launch BlueStacks using the desktop icon b double-clicking it.
  8. Since this will be your first time launching the app, you should get brief instructions on using the app’s controls properly. Try to take that opportunity to familiarize yourself with the user interface.
  9. When you get to the main desktop of BlueStacks, go to the Asphalt APK that you download earlier.
  10. Double-click on it, and it will automatically install to BlueStacks.
  11. You may now start enjoying the adrenaline-pumping racing game on your very own Windows PC.
