Forgotten crises: Support for the Rohingya

Kutupalong refugee camp, Bangladesh

22.10.2020 - Article

Almost a million Rohingya have fled from Myanmar, many of them to Bangladesh. Germany is supporting a project run in Kutupalong refugee camp by the charity CBM (Christian Blind Mission) and has pledged 33 million euro at a donor conference.

Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh: the world’s biggest refugee camp

Simple bamboo huts with plastic sheets for roofs in all sorts of shapes and colours as far as the eye can see. More than 850,000 people living in very close proximity. There is no adequate healthcare system or water supply; there are hardly any education opportunities, and food shortages are common.

This is Cox’s Bazar in southern Bangladesh – the world’s biggest refugee camp. When the violent expulsion of the Rohingya from Myanmar began in the summer of 2017, hundreds of thousands of people fled to neighbouring Bangladesh. They lost their property, their homes, their livelihoods. However, they had already lost their established place in the interplay between the many hundreds of ethnic groups in Myanmar long before then. Even before the expulsions, many Rohingya suffered huge discrimination.

When Myanmar gained independence in 1948, the military repeatedly carried out operations against the Muslim Rohingya minority. The nationality act introduced by the military government in 1982 and still in force today makes it difficult for the Rohingya to acquire citizenship of Myanmar. There followed decades of simmering conflict, statelessness and uncertainty, which culminated in brutal expulsions in 2017.

Support from the international community

Bangladesh took in just under a million displaced Rohingya and did its utmost to provide them with accommodation and food. In time, however, Bangladesh – itself having to cope with floods, humanitarian crises and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic – reached the limits of its possibilities. The situation in the refugee camps remains precarious; the inhabitants require psychological support to overcome their trauma; and feuds arise between gangs in the overcrowded camps. The Rohingya therefore urgently need support from the international community to help establish the conditions for a life in dignity.

Germany is supporting a health project for people with disabilities in Cox’s Bazar

For this reason, Germany has in recent years provided its partner, the charity CBM, with two million euro for a project offering inclusive health services for 30,000 people with disabilities in the refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar. This project enables refugees and particularly children to access health services and thus also to participate in care services and social life in the camp. A child-friendly space has been set up where children can play and learn, but also work through their traumatic experiences.

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, CBM has also been working to prevent the spread of the virus. Ariful Arman, a 24-year-old CBM staff member in the camp, said: “I am very happy that I can help people with disabilities. Seeing the progress they make with my help is very motivating.”

International donor conference: Germany is making available 33 million euro

To draw attention to this crisis and muster support, the United States, the United Kingdom, the EU and the UN Refugee Agency are today holding a virtual donor conference. The aim is to support Bangladesh as the prime host country for Rohingya refugees and to gather funding to help it manage the crisis.

Germany is also taking part in the conference and is making available an additional three million euro. This takes total German humanitarian assistance for the Rohingya to 60 million euro since 2017. The Federal Government has in addition pledged a further 30 million euro for development cooperation.

Sponsored Feature: The Alpha Predator

30th Sep 2019 6:05 pm

Like the king of the jungle, the Creta is in a league of its own. Here’s why Hyundai’s champion of an SUV is the car to have.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines ‘domination’ as ‘supremacy or preeminence over another’, or ‘exercise of mastery or ruling power’. There are several things that immediately come to mind when we consider the word domination: a lion swaggering through a dense jungle, West Indies cricketers of the 1970s and ‘80s riding roughshod over every other team in the world, and closer home, the Hyundai Creta’s unparalleled reign in its segment. If zodiac signs applied to cars, the Creta would be a Leo.

The Creta’s dominance in its segment has grown with each passing year, ever since its launch in 2015. And all you need to do to get an idea of its sheer popularity is to simply look around at the number of Cretas that have either been snapped up by customers, or are being eyed by potential buyers. In all, over 5,00,000 Cretas have been sold in the last four years – and that is a staggering number. If you want to know why, all you’ve got to do is get inside Hyundai’s champion of an SUV and thumb the starter button.

Watch me Roar

Like the lion, the Creta has an arresting presence. It’s big and bold and yet classy, and those 17-inch alloys, LED DRLs and faux skid plates add the right kind of touches to a handsome car. The SUV’s visual appeal is complemented by its powerful, refined range of engines. (Hyundai’s SUV is available with three engine and two transmission options.)

Take, for instance, the 1.6-litre diesel engine, which is a favourite among many people. The 128hp, 1,582cc CRDi VGT engine is a quiet customer, but out on the open road, it helps the Creta stalk its prey (read: slow-moving traffic) with a leonine menace. And, like the highly adaptable lion, it performs equally well in diverse driving environments. The Creta’s dominance (and driveability) on roads is thanks to the 260Nm of peak torque the engine generates. There’s torque available at low revs and its power delivery is linear, which means the Creta can compress distances with ease and simply thunder past traffic.

The two other engines in the range are similarly well-equipped and very versatile. In a way, one could think of the range of engines that power the Creta as the big, brave heart of a lion, helping it rule the road. But the engine, however significant, is one part of the success story that makes the Creta what it is. The SUV’s ride quality is sterling as well, and it has consistently proven to be more than a match for the worst of roads in both, our cities and highways. Obviously, being an SUV, it won’t handle like a sportscar, but Hyundai’s engineers have worked on the suspension to make the Creta a safe handler. As importantly, if you are going to spend most of your time in urban India, the car’s light steering will be a boon. The steering setup is spot on and adapts brilliantly to a variety of different driving environments.

Inside the Beast

Hyundai has gained a reputation as the company behind feature-rich cars, and the Creta is another testament to its ability to load an automobile to the gills. The SUV’s cabin actually incorporates things that make both, the daily commute and the out-of-town holiday more enjoyable experiences. The kit on the latest Cretas includes an electric sunroof, a powered driver’s seat, cruise control, wireless phone charging and an auto-dimming internal rear-view mirror. Plus, there’s also a smart keyband (cum fitness band) that does away with the need for a physical key while also tracking the calories you’ve burnt and the steps you’ve taken on any given day.

The Creta’s light steering is a boon in urban environments.

The Creta’s instrument cluster and touchscreen infotainment system have also been upgraded. The SUV’s infotainment unit is among the best setups around. It is loaded with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and works perfectly, with no lag whatsoever. Other tech goodies include the manufacturer’s new Autolink App that keeps track of driving patterns, checks vehicle health, and can be used to avail roadside assistance and make service requests. The features Hyundai loads the Creta with are always underscored by a great attention to detail. The cabin is elegant and sports quality material that won’t look out of place in more expensive cars.

Always On the hunt

You’d think the secret to the Hyundai Creta’s success is the right combination of engines, creature comforts, and, of course, reliability. Now, while a lot of that may be true, the reason the Creta has been the king of the jungle for so long is because the Korean manufacturer has always been on the ball when it comes to keeping the Creta way ahead of the competition. Regardless of whether one is talking about looks, features, or mechanicals. Regular updates, several of which connect the car to its drivers, and the much envied Hyundai reliability and service network, mean that the Creta is always on every potential SUV buyer’s mind. So, when you are this good, competition simply doesn’t matter. Simply put, the Hyundai Creta is king.

Uber partners Happay for corporate mobility in India

by Autocar Pro News Desk , 29 Nov 2018

Global ride-hailing giant Uber and Happay, a Bangalore-based Business Expense Management Solution provider opens a travel ecosystem to help Uber users manage expense from anywhere, on any device.

With this new partnership, Happay will help its corporate customers gain complete visibility and consequently realise significant cost savings on their ground transportation while at the same time increasing employee productivity and satisfaction. Corporate finance teams will have more control and will be able to track ground travel expenditure in real-time and process travel reimbursements with ease.

According to Happay, Happay corporate customers can take advantage of the auto-expense feature by creating an Uber for Business account for their company and inviting their employees to use the company’s Uber for Business Profile. Once the profile is enabled, employees select Happay as their expense management provider within the payment settings. Every time employees complete a ride on their business profile, Uber automatically sends ride information from the employee’s business profile account to their Happay account, without the need for any additional input. Happay then converts this data into an expense item, ready for submission.

Empower employees to spend digitally while staying in control

Anshul Rai, co-founder and CEO of Happay said, “Everything we do at Happay is focused on making lives easier for our users - whether it’s helping them manage expenses from anywhere, on any device, or eliminating the need to manually input expense details. Our partnership with Uber is very much in line with this philosophy. Business travellers no longer need to punch in their ride data manually.”

He further adds, “What we are also doing is opening up the travel ecosystem and directly tapping into the source of spending (the merchants). With such partnerships, we are able to ensure more user loyalty for merchants like Uber and ensure business spending is legitimate, for the corporates.”

Arjun Nohwar, head of Uber for Business for APAC said, “Uber for Business continues to see an overwhelming response from corporates across India. Empowering our riders to automatically submit their receipts for reimbursement is a logical step towards making business trips simple and stress-free. Thanks to our partnership with Happay, we can ensure corporates never have to worry about travel receipts again.”

Happay claims that this partnership with Uber for Business is one of the many strategic initiatives that it has undertaken to transform Travel & Entertainment (T&E) expense management in India. Happay has reportedly unveiled a CFO Benchmark report titled ‘State of Indian Enterprise Travel & Expense Management 2018’. The research was undertaken by CFO India magazine on behalf of Happay to understand the current state of Travel and Entertainment (T&E) expense management across companies in India and the degree of automation in it.

Happay also launched an Enterprise version of its expense management platform recently with AI-powered capabilities that help employees to auto-extract transaction data from Gmail invoices, SMSes, travel booking software, credit card statements, auto-scan of receipts, and many more. The Enterprise version also seamlessly integrates with a broad range of Enterprise software such as Accounting ERPs, HRMS solutions, Travel management solutions, in-house solutions, CRM, etc, for a seamless exchange of data.

I’ve a guideline to prevent offer my contact number out to virtually any date that is potential fulfilling them first.

I’ve a guideline to prevent offer my contact number out to virtually any date that is potential fulfilling them first.

If you should be dating for the intended purpose of finding an innovative new term that is longideally forever lasting) relationship, thereвЂ™s a whole lot more to give some thought to. IвЂ™ve been a solitary mum for very nearly 5 years now, and listed below are some lessons IвЂ™ve learnt about dating.Try in order to prevent speaing frankly about your kids the complete time, become familiar with one another as grownups, while having FUN! Photo: Julia Hache.

In the event that you met online speak on the device before investing in a date

LetвЂ™s face it, as solitary mums we don’t have great deal of the time. Especially if weвЂ™re the primary care giver and have now our youngsters almost all, or all the time. Time away from our kids is precious and rare. I wish to understand that IвЂ™m not wasting a particular date or babysitting $$$ on somebody https://besthookupwebsites.net/the-perfect-match-review/ that i might not need a link with. Yes it is possible to trade a couple of communications more than an app that is dating but always talk with a possible date in the phone first. You donвЂ™t want to waste your money and time happening a date if thereвЂ™s no connection whatsoever.

Be cautious who you give your number to

We have a guideline to prevent provide my contact number out to any date that is potential fulfilling them first. Believe me with this one. You donвЂ™t want to awaken to a cock pic from the complete complete stranger for a morning monday. You can find creepy individuals around and you donвЂ™t like to give down your quantity to strangers on the net. You nevertheless would you like to speak for them regarding the phone before a romantic date, therefore ask for their definitely quantity and provide them a call. But turn your caller ID off or dial before entering their quantity, as well as your telephone number should come through to their phone as a personal number. When they ask for the quantity, politely decrease and get because of their quantity rather.

DonвЂ™t give anyone ANY private information until you meet them

This includes your last name, Instagram, address, Facebook, etc in addition to your phone number. This will get without saying, or possibly IвЂ™m super paranoid, however some folks are crazy or creepy and also you need certainly to protect your self as well as your kids. It is quite scary everything you can know about people online. On the internet if you give someone your phone number, they can potentially find out your full name, and from there, whatever else is available about you.

Be very careful if some body is overly thinking about your son or daughter in the date that is first. It is not always a flag that is red however it could be. As solitary mums we have to be very careful because regrettably some paedophiles target solitary moms. This really is certainly one of my biggest worries with regards to dating being a mum that is single as well as this reason i actually do perhaps not market on my online dating sites profile that i will be a mom. I actually do carry it up quickly if We begin conversing with some body online, but I’m not planning to have an image of my child and me personally on an on-line relationship app. It weeds out the people who specifically target single mothers for me at least, IвЂ™m hoping. Listen: Sally Obermeder claims it’s the perfect time ladies stop being so very hard on themselves

Determine when you should bring the fact up which you have actually a kid

I bring it up fairly quickly as I mentioned. I usually mention it prior to going for a date that is first. Time is valuable, and IвЂ™m maybe maybe not planning to waste my time by taking place a romantic date with some body that hates children. Some moms are afraid to create it and donвЂ™t carry it up to theyвЂ™ve had 3 or 4 times. I think that having a young child is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. It is also a part that is huge of everyday lives and whom our company is. An enormous range ladies (inside their thirties and forties anyway) have actually young ones, and then we donвЂ™t want to date them anyway if someone doesnвЂ™t like it or canвЂ™t accept that, well. We occur to genuinely believe that solitary mothers make great lovers, so that itвЂ™s their loss!

Make certain you are quite ready to date

Some single mothers move on quite quickly following a separation, but my advice would be to hold back until you may be well and truly relationship prepared. Beginning a relationship may fill a short-term void, and you’ll believe all your valuable dilemmas is likely to be resolved, but i really believe that maybe perhaps not about yourself can you also make a great partner to someone else until you are in good head space and feel really good. So my child’s been along with her dad going back 5 evenings whilst i am away in Bali working away and achieving some much.

Make fully sure your date is able to date

You’ll find nothing more down putting than heading out on a romantic date by having a father that is single bags out of the mother of their young ones for just two hours. And for any period of time actually. Sure, they could n’t have an excellent relationship due to their ex, but we donвЂ™t think it is necessarily appropriate to fairly share on a first date. Discover how long theyвЂ™ve been single and attempt to stay away from anybody who is recently solitary. They might never be relationship ready by themselves.

Many people are only strange

It’s no representation for you. DonвЂ™t get disheartened if it does not exercise, or you keep having awful times with individuals you meet on an on-line relationship app. ThereвЂ™s a large ocean of men and women on the market, and often you must swim through the seaweed to make it to the water that is clear. In the event that you keep telling yourself that theyвЂ™re all a holes and that there are not any decent males anywhere, or which you keep attracting strange individuals, youвЂ™ll uncover evidence to guide that viewpoint. Stay with it, have confidence in love, and now have hope.

Simply because somebody is really a moms and dad, it doesnвЂ™t suggest they have been normal. Some single moms would rather date fathers that are single. Others choose to date guys without children. Most are perhaps perhaps not phased. DonвЂ™t, however, assume that just because some one is just a parent they truly are a good normal individual. Three of my biggest dating catastrophes had been with solitary dads. Having children does not always equal being normal.

It often is like there is certainly much more pressure when youвЂ™re dating as solitary mum. May I invest my entire life using this individual? Will our youngsters go along? Will my kid like him? Exactly just just How will we mix our families? Where are we planning to live? They are all essential concerns, although not one thing you must be worried about regarding the date that is first. Invest some right time getting to understand one another, and donвЂ™t think a lot of in regards to the future right away. Stay away from referring to your young ones the whole time, get acquainted with one another as adults, while having FUN!

  • Implant fixer

It is the portion of a dental implant embedded in the jaw bone. It is placed in the place of missing teeth and directly united with bone by time. The attachment of fixtures guaranteed the success of the dental implant.

  • Abutment

The abutment is placed on the implant fixture. It provides strength and helps to attach the crown. The size of the abutment is according to the crown and fixture.

  • Crown

Crown gives a natural appearance to dental implants. It is similar to your natural teeth and enhances your aesthetic. Most of the crown is made of ceramic that gives a natural look.

Why is a dental implant the best For You?

Natural tooth appearance

A dental implant gives the best aesthetic. The ceramic crown used on implant abutment gives a natural tooth-colored appearance. You can smile confidently in a social gathering.

Less bone loss

Bone resorbed rapidly in place of the missing tooth. If the tooth is replaced by a removable denture the bone resorption process remains. In dental implants, there are very low chances of bone resorption. You can maintain your natural look. A dental implant is the only artificial material that provides a direct union with bone and gives the best output.

Optimum function

Dental implants easily bear the masticatory load without fracture. Dental implants are also suitable for bruxers who grind their teeth at night. Dental implants also offer a high success rate.

Pioneering Industrial E-commerce Success

Just as e-commerce has become an integral part of our everyday lives, it has also become a significant part of how your business works. Customer behavior has been transformed. However, when asked, why most distributors and vendors feel that e-commerce is not the best solution for their businesses? They replied,

“It’s because most of our engineering products are complex and custom specialized. They have a large number of features with complicated configurations and may become a tedious task for customers to make a choice”

This is your opportunity to set your business apart. Most distributors end up merging consumer retail marketing strategies with e-commerce marketing strategies. They fail to understand that they are missing out on an untapped marketplace for their specified product and all they have to do is understand how their customer's identify their need.

Strategies That Manufacturers Can Adopt to Make Their Online Business a Success

When considering your Industrial supplier or manufacturer business as an Industrial e-commerce business, there are two parts of making it a pioneering success. One revolves around the development of your online store while the other depends on how you are going to market it.

Industrial Store Building Strategy

Here are a few handful tips on how you can build a thriving online industrial e-commerce store:

  • When you are designing an ecommerce store for your industrial products, make sure to add customizable features which can help buyers to configure custom products. Even if this is a robust RFQ tool.

  • Add a Customer Support solution - Live Chat, support forum, dedicated support email address: any way to provide direct access to collaboration with a specialist to guide your buyers, if, by chance; they complicate themselves choosing the right product for their specific needs.

  • Add price variation feature depending on the type of visitor coming to your industrial e-commerce website. This will provide liberty to make an easy pick for the customer.

  • Add a layer of purchase scheduler, such as a saved cart, so buyers can make a pick and purchase it at a later date.

  • Last but not the least, enable corporate payment gateways for purchase orders placed on your industrial ecommerce store. This could be as simple as a PO option for approved buyers or a process to send the order to a purchasing department to be completed.

These strategies can help you build the perfect industrial online store. However, it entirely depends on your creativity and innovation depending on the type of industrial product you wish to sell out into the market.

Industrial Store Marketing Strategy

Marketing is all about deriving the right targeted traffic to your website. You want to sieve out the right market and converge it to your specific store. To do so, you need a creative SEO tactic and means to enhance your brand visibility.

  • Social Media is one of the many tools that can help you create your very own brand visibility. Create pages, groups and marketing ads on different social media platform. Go viral.

  • Integrate analytics to your website in order to learn which channels are more attractive for customers. Convert traffic into potential leads and end up creating monetary transactions.

  • Educate your consumers more about the product which you are selling. You can achieve that by taking active part in similar communities and sharing blog posts from your website.

  • Drive buyers to your website by placing the best offers through ads. Promote products not just through social media but also make use of email marketing, white papers, etc.

  • While blog page is one thing, create a knowledgebase of your website to educate individuals on what you are selling. It will help them, professional and educational, in both ways.

Where to get started? Try asking yourself the following questions

  • Where does my business stand in the next 5 years digitally?

  • What can I do to compel purchasers to come buy my product?

  • Today Facebook has more than a billion accounts! Where will other social media platform stand in the coming future?

AAI signs pact with Adani Group to hand over Jaipur, Guwahati & T'puram airports for 50 years

New Delhi: The Adani Group will soon take over the operation of Jaipur, Guwahati and Thiruvananthapuram airports for the next 50 years. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) on Tuesday signed three concession agreements with Adani Airports Ltd for operations, management and development of these three airports under PPP mode.

The Adani Group had won bids for six AAI airports and has so far taken over three -- Mangaluru, Lucknow and Ahmedabad. Now the decks have been cleared for taking over the other three also.

AAI tweeted on Tuesday: "The agreements were signed in presence of AAI chairman and senior officials of AAI and Adani Enterprises Ltd. Signed concession agreements of Jaipur, Guwahati and Thiruvananthapuram Airports were exchanged between AAI ED N V Subbarayudu and Adani Airports CEO Behnad Zandi. The concession fee that would be received by AAI after leasing out six airports will be used for the maintenance and development of other brownfield airports and also for further development of RCS and greenfield airports throughout the country."

The Union government's decision to run Thiruvananthapuram airport PPP way had been challenged legally. "That decision has come in our favour as the process was done in a very open and transparent manner. The security clearance has also come for (handing over the remaining three airports to Adani Group)," aviation secretary P S Kharola had said recently.

AAI is working on handing over six more airports the PPP way.

As drones get ready to deliver, IISc finds way to aid privacy

Bengaluru: Global advancements in the field and domestic developments — Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) too has given permission to 13 consortia for delivery experiments — indicate that use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or remotely piloted vehicles (RPVs) or drones for delivery may become a reality sooner than later in India.

While delivery drones hold the promise of revolutionising goods transportation, they also have some privacy issues to deal with given that such vehicles are typically equipped with a variety of sensors, such as cameras, microphones, GPS, and Lidar (method for measuring distances by illuminating the target with laser light).

Arguing that a malicious drone fleet service operator could misuse these sensors to turn drones into flying spies, researchers from the Indian Institute of Science’s (IISc) department of computer science and automation have developed “Privaros” — a set of enhancements to the drone software stack, which allows “host airspaces” (apartment complexes, universities or city municipalities for example) to ensure that “guest” delivery drones visiting the airspace are privacy-compliant.

A number of countries are actively developing policies to regulate how drones can be operated. This work shows how Privaros can be integrated with upcoming policy frameworks, such as India’s Digital Sky framework, IISc says.

“Privaros is designed for commercial delivery drones, such as the ones that will likely be used by Amazon Prime Air. Such drones visit various host airspaces, each of which may have different privacy requirements. The framework uses mandatory access control to enforce the policies of these hosts on guest delivery drones. Privaros is tailored for ROS (robot operating system), a middleware popular in many drone platforms,” the researchers added.

In India, the first consortium to receive DGCA clearance under Digital Sky framework for an experiment to test delivery drones were from Bengaluru and TOI was the first to report this in March 2020. Since then, 12 more consortia have got DGCA clearances.

Prof Vinod Ganapathy and team’s Privaros incorporates new mechanisms into the drone software stack that allow such host-specified policies on board the drone. Trusted hardware on board the drone can be used to prove to the host airspace that the guest drone is in compliance with its policies, according to an IISc statement.

Ganapathy told TOI: “We have a working prototype that has proven the concepts.” The team has evaluated Privaros on an Nvidia Jetson TX2 development kit, motivated by the fact that unlike most off-the-shelf drones, it is equipped with a hardware TEE (trusted execution environment) and allows programmable access to both the secure world and the normal world.

The specification of the Jetson board is similar in architecture to the companion boards of commercially available drones. “It also consists of 256 Nvidia CUDA cores, making it the companion board of choice for navigation software that makes extensive use of graphics processing units, e.g., those that use deep learning based navigation. We reflashed the normal world of this board with a Privaros-enhanced software stack,” the researchers said.

Their evaluation shows that a drone running Privaros can robustly enforce various privacy policies specified by hosts, and that its core mechanisms only marginally increase communication latency and power consumption.
