MX Player, the on-demand video streaming service owned by India’s conglomerate Times Internet, is expanding to more than half a dozen new international markets including the U.S. and the U.K. to supply more entertainment content to millions of people trapped in their homes.

The Singapore-headquartered on-demand video streaming service, which raised $111 million in a round led by Tencent last year, said it has expanded to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Bangladesh and Nepal in addition to the U.S. and the UK.

Like in India, MX Player will offer its catalog at no charge to users in the international markets and monetize through ads, Karan Bedi, chief executive of the service, told TechCrunch in an interview.

The streaming service, which has amassed over 175 million monthly active users in India, is offering locally relevant titles in each market, he said. This is notably different from Disney’s Hotstar expansion into select international markets, where it has largely aimed to cater to the Indian diaspora.

MX Player is not currently offering any originally produced titles in any international market — instead offering movies and shows it has licensed from global and local studios — but the streamer plans to change that in the coming months, said Bedi.

Even as the expansion comes at a time when the world is grappling with containing and fighting the coronavirus outbreak, Bedi said MX Player had already been testing the service in several markets for a few months.

“We believe in meeting this rapidly rising demand from discerning entertainment lovers with stories that strike a chord. To that end, we have collaborated with some of the best talent and content partners globally who will help bring us a step closer to becoming the go-to destination for entertainment across the world,” said Nakul Kapur, Business Head for International markets at MX Player, in a statement.

Times Internet acquired MX Player, an app popular for efficiently playing a plethora of locally-stored media files on entry-level Android smartphones, in 2018 for about $140 million. In the years since, Times Internet has introduced video streaming service to it, and then live TV channels in India.

MX Player has also bundled free music streaming (through Gaana, another property owned by Times Internet) and has introduced in-app casual games for users in the country.

Bedi said the company is working on bringing these additional services to international markets, and also looking to enter additional regions including the Middle East and South Asia.

Huawei P30 Pro gets EMUI 10, new colors and camera features

Huawei P30 Pro in misty blue misty lavender side angle

In addition to the 5G-capable Kirin 990 processor and FreeBuds 3, Huawei today also announced a mild refresh to the P30 Pro, including new two-tone colorways and improved camera features. Interestingly, Huawei calls this refreshed version the “New P30 Pro,” in an effort to bring the 6-month-old phone back into the spotlight. Huawei is expected to delay the Western release of the Mate 30 Pro, so a P30 Pro facelift could fill that void.

A visual refresh

Similar to some of Huawei’s other colorways, the new Misty Lavender and Mystic Blue don’t look as you’d imagine they would. Misty Lavender leans more heavily toward pink than purple, while Mystic Blue appears teal from certain angles. The two-tone back is very Pixel-esque and features a matte bottom and glossy top.

Misty Lavender and Mystic Blue aren’t as bold as the original Breathing Crystal or Amber Sunrise versions, but the new colors still look very sharp. They also have a reserved look to them that isn’t ostentatious, yet still grabs your attention.

Misty Lavender and Mystic Blue will be available September 20 in Europe. Because these are new colors and not new Huawei smartphones, they are unaffected by the U.S. government’s ban. It’s a smart move for Huawei to boost sales of its flagship smartphone without stepping on the U.S. government’s toes.

A great camera gets better

The P30 Pro won plaudits for its powerful camera system, and now Huawei is building it up with new features.

“Super Night Selfie” improves on what the name says — it’s supposed to brighten and beautify self portraits taken in low light, while lowering the intensity of background illumination to make the details in dark areas more prominent. It sounds a lot like an adaptation of HDR for low-light selfie applications.

Huawei added an AI-powered feature that creates vlog-like videos from the images and videos in your image gallery. The AI angle sounds interesting, but the feature may be just a glorified slideshow maker. We’ll have to see it for ourselves.

Huawei also talked about improvements to the P30 Pro’s Portrait mode, though it’s not clear what’s actually new.

Some of these camera features have been previously launched on the Chinese versions of the P30 and P30 Pro.

The “New” Huawei P30 Pro will run the Android 10-based EMUI 10. The latest version of the Huawei skin includes a lot of visual refinement, an improved dark mode, and a revamped camera app. You can read more about EMUI 10 in our hands-on.

Huawei also announced it would open a public beta for the EMUI 10/Android 10 update for the P30 Pro later this month.

The rest of the P30 Pro is exactly as you remember. That means a 6.47-inch OLED display with Full HD+ (2,340 x 1,080) resolution, an in-display fingerprint scanner, a 40MP+8MP+20MP triple rear camera system, Huawei’s in-house Kirin 980 processor, up to 8GB of RAM, up to 512GB of storage, a 4,200mAh battery, and Android 9 Pie currently underneath EMUI 9.1.

In his review, our own Bogdan Petrovan considered the P30 Pro one of the best all-around smartphones currently available. He was particularly impressed with the phone’s image output and battery life.

Repalle: A tough choice

The short film subtly talks about the issue of migration of rural people in search of livelihood

By Author  |  Published: 11th May 2019  9:46 pm
Repalle: A tough choice

Repalle tells the story of a village youth, Satthibabu, who feels desolated and dissatisfied through his meagre earnings from his caste-based profession, fishing. Sathi wakes up to a gloomy morning everyday, spends his day venturing into the river — catching fish, sells it to a roadside vendor for Rs 600 for 10 kgs. He even turns down a proposal from his mother who suggests him to buy a bigger boat from one Rambabu through which he could get good money in the long run.

However, Satthi has been nurturing the idea of flying off to Dubai for employment with the help of his friend Srinu. He strongly feels that all his problems can be answered if he gets a job in a Gulf country and, later, marry off his girlfriend Subbalakshmi who is waiting for him.

Repalle: A tough choiceBut, his friend Srinu explains to him the flipside of the dream job and the travails behind the aspirations of millions of Indians who migrate to the Gulf countries, their plight after landing a job, abuse and treatment in the hands of owners, etc.

However, Satthi doesn’t seem to have been pleased with Srinu’s version. Subbalakshmi, too, tries to convince him explaining how he could lead a satisfied life through fishing without migrating to other regions or another country. Directed by Harinath Puli, the 28-minute short film drives home a message on how a small livelihood could be a money spinner if one has respect towards his work. Repalle’s camera work should be appreciated. Sound effects are good and background track too is commendable. Visuals of green environs and drone shots are good enough.

Anand Bhaskar, MD, Service Providers Sales, Cisco India and SAARC

The Indian telecom landscape is undergoing a tectonic shift with the advent of new age technologies. Service providers today are focusing on transforming themselves into digital value providers and are looking for technology partners to achieve this goal. Cisco is playing a key role in enabling this transformation for telecom service providers. It is helping them build and shape their network, and create services and solutions suitable for the next-generation technology world. In a recent interview, Anand Bhaskar, managing director, service providers sales, Cisco India and SAARC, talks about the changing customer requirements, emerging technology trends, the evolving 5G ecosystem and Cisco’s focus areas. Excerpts…

How are the requirements of service providers changing?

Over the past few years, the telecom industry has transformed into a sector dominated by a few large players, involved in intense competition. As new technologies disrupt the market, the primary objectives of telecom service providers in this dynamic landscape are to reduce the cost per bit, offer data at the lowest possible cost and enhance the customer experience.

With the roll-out of 5G in the offing, service providers will also need to quickly adapt to an increasingly automated world. They need to transform themselves from digital service providers to digital value providers. 5G will help create a whole new set of services that are tailored for enterprises, and telecom service providers need to get ready to capture that market. We are working with telecom service providers to offer new solutions for enterprise clients around managed software defined wide area network (SD-WAN) services, managed collaboration services, and managed security services, among others. Moreover, with the convergence of 5G, AI and IoT, security is emerging as a major focus area. In a bid to build digital trust among their enterprise customers, telcos will have to protect their networks and offer security as a service to them. Providing security atop existing connectivity services will also help differentiate them in the marketplace.

How does India compare with other global markets in terms of network evolution? What are Cisco’s key focus areas in the Indian market?

Nations are racing ahead to develop next-generation networks and put in place architecture that will be necessary for 5G services. In parallel, there is an evident deceleration of revenue growth. Here, 5G can play an important role in filling the gap, giving rise to new opportunities and enabling service providers to be relevant. Cisco’s role is to help our service provider customers focus on growing revenue, lower their costs, and reduce or mitigate risks.

India is one of the fastest-growing data markets globally, and Cisco offers a strong value proposition to its customers here. We have a 360-degree strategy for service providers, which covers network and IT transformation and supports their enterprise go-to-market strategy with Cisco’s strong presence in the enterprise segment. We have a vast engineering team focused on service provider innovation in India. The team works closely with service providers to develop solutions for the Indian marketplace, which have later been scaled globally.

To summarise, Cisco partners with telecom service providers to build and shape their network, and create services and solutions that enable them to become a digital value player. This is a unique value proposition that Cisco offers to telecom service providers.

What opportunities do you foresee in the 5G space in India? How are you planning to leverage these?

India is digitalising at an unprecedented pace, faster than any other country. The prime minister has set an ambitious goal to make India a $5 trillion economy by 2025, and there is no doubt that digital transformation will be the key enabler and driver of India’s growth. In fact, the digital economy is expected to contribute 20 per cent of the national GDP, or $1 trillion, by 2025.

As digital capabilities improve and connectivity becomes omnipresent, technology is poised to rapidly and radically change nearly every sector of the Indian economy. In the telecom industry for example, it is predicted that, by 2030, more than 1 billion Indians will be online, and 839 million will be smartphone users. 5G and Wi-Fi6 are going to be paramount in ensuring the success of the digital economy and in bringing us closer to the $5 trillion goal. Unlike 4G, which was about speed, 5G is all about an enhanced customer experience, one that will change the game for telecom service providers. Recognising the criticality of 5G in differentiating themselves in a highly competitive market, all telecom service providers are planning trials in the next few quarters.

Cisco is the leading provider of the foundational networking technologies that power mobile networks around the world – be it 4G or 5G. We have committed $5 billion in funding globally to help build 5G networks over the next three years to aid our customers in accelerating their 5G deployments. Today, we are working with a number of them on architectural designs and providing packet core technology, and we expect to see a bigger impact from 5G as the number of users and devices begins to ramp up.

What are your views on the emerging connectivity needs of enterprises? What is Cisco’s strategy to meet these needs?

The networking field is changing fast. As 5G rolls out, it will also open up new possibilities for IoT applications for enterprises and specific industry use cases – connected factories, smart manufacturing, logistics and warehousing, among others. Cisco has been re-working the architecture of the network to help enterprises meet the challenges of automation and programmability, and has unveiled its intent-based networking portfolio to prepare customers for this wireless-first world. With a software-focused approach, the network unlocks data and insights that will enable IT to support the business in real time. It automates routine tasks and embeds security into the network itself.

We are helping our customers lead the charge by offering a 360-degree strategy focused on seamless network transformation, superlative IT services and a robust go-to-market strategy with service providers, thus building the right capabilities to remain relevant in a highly digitalised environment, achieve growth and fend off competitive threats.

All the leading service providers are banking on Cisco’s new age technologies such as software optimisation network (SON) and network automation platform. We are ideally placed to combine this technology with enterprise needs and drive monetisation for telecom service providers, which is vital.

As a leading technology provider, what kind of challenges do you face in the country?

As the telecom industry transforms into a digital value player, there will be a need to renew strategies for talent acquisition efforts to focus on creating new roles, generating more jobs and getting more investment into the sector in the process.

Next, legacy infrastructures are not suited for the needs of the new dynamic, application-driven environment, and currently all operators in India have either deployed or are working to gradually deploy a one-IP architecture and are getting their networks 5G-ready. We expect investment in 5G to be higher than what was invested by global wireless carriers for 4G deployment. This is because carriers need spectrum and deeper fibre networks, particularly in key urban markets, and substantially more cell towers to deliver the benefits of 5G.

Finally, a significant push is needed for the telecom industry to fiberise (which currently stands at only 20 per cent penetration), in order to avoid widening the rural-urban digital divide. Favourable taxation policies are already under discussion for 5G spectrum allocation, which aims to create a balanced spectrum ecosystem.

What are the three technology or related trends that are expected to shape the future Indian telecom space?

The most evident trend is mass-scale digital transformation. Automation is seeping into every aspect of life, and telcos need to adapt or risk losing market share. Service providers are, therefore, looking to move to a flat IP architecture to make their businesses more flexible and automation-ready.

The other important element of growth will come from edge computing, wherein the whole notion is to serve clients closer to the point of delivery, be it highly populated clusters, high commerce-enabling areas or metros, etc.

Lastly, operators worldwide are tasked with rolling out new services in shorter time intervals while ensuring adequate returns for their shareholders, and managing capex and operational costs. Hence, it becomes imperative for them to have a modern and programmable network, indicating a need to revamp their current network, and move to technology architectures that offer agility and better operational control while also ensuring the lowest possible cost of production. With a programmable architecture, service providers can continue to offer “first-rate” industry solutions and the best customer experience at the lowest cost per bit.

With Cisco technologies such as software-defined networking, network function virtualisation, SON, orchestration and cloud-based solutions, operators can make sure that their infrastructure is self-monitoring, self-correcting and self-acting, with optimal cost and efficiency.

How to get a National Interest Waiver Green Card

The Timing Of Love

Posted by terrepruitt on February 11, 2019

I was recently watching a TV show where one of the characters told another, “I wonder what would have happened if I met you later?” He went on to say that had it been five years later and they passed on the street would they have looked at each other and known. He was surmising that had they met later HE would have fallen in love with her and been ready to settle down and not practically leave her at the altar. Just like when people say, “I wish I would have met you sooner.” With that sweet sentiment they are usually saying that they wished they would have met sooner so they could have been together longer. But I don’t believe either of those ideas. I think that in both cases if the meeting would have happened at different times then they would not have fallen in love.

Dance Exercise, Nia, Nia in the City of San Jose, Nia classes in the South Bay, Nia Teacher, Nia Class, San Jose Nia, Nia San Jose, Nia workout, Nia, Gentle Yoga, Group Ex classes, YMCA, Zumba, Nia Technique, SJ City Fit, SJCityFit, City of San Jose Exercise Classes, Cambrian Yoga & Cardio Dance, CYCDIn the case of the TV show, he literally fell in love with her (in my opinion) because of what she was doing. Had it been five years later she would have not been doing that. He fell hard when she was lovingly caring for his siblings. He decided to marry her when someone died. Had it been five years later those situations would not have been occurring and he wouldn’t have fallen in love. I believe she would have been an entirely different person. He would have too, so I think that they wouldn’t have fallen in love.

The same with the idea of meeting earlier. The person that would have been encountered years earlier is not the person you met and fell in love with. In general, I believe that people fall in love with a person as they are and in the circumstances they are currently in so they might not have been the same years earlier and they might not be the same years later.

Now I know this is all a generalization (as I said) . . . there are plenty of people who fall in love and then for a multitude of reasons never get together or don’t stay together only to get together or back together years later when they meet up and their circumstances have changed. Love is just a crazy amazing thing. Ya never really know.

This thought was just a Monday musing because of what I saw on a TV show.

What are your thoughts about the timing of love?

10 Discounts for your Tesla

  1. Tesla gives all new orders 1000 miles of free Supercharging if you order following this link: ts.la/thomas8147  This referral code gives you the ability to test out the Supercharging network without it costing you anything.  The credit expires after 6 months so test out the quick charging before it costs you something.
  2. Don’t pay for certain accessories that can be found cheaper after you buy your Tesla. I wanted the optional premium rims from Tesla as opposed to the stock ones, but didn’t want to pay the $2.5K upgrade price so I bought the better rims for this aftermarket Tesla specialist here and sold the old ones online for $1500 for a net cost of half what Tesla wanted.  There are aftermarket spoilers available for less elsewhere too so don’t pay the Tesla retail rate (eBay has many alternatives too)!  Here is an exhaustive list of modifications you can make to your Model S or X.  Also, used items are sold on eBay, TMC forums, Facebook Marketplace, or Panjo so buy a used version of the same thing.
  3. In the US, be sure to factor in your Federal and State tax incentives listed here. Tesla has already blown through their 200K Federal incentives so order immediately if you want delivery in 2019 to get last fraction of the original tax credit.  Your state/city/utility may offer other incentives like free registration, a discounted charger or cash.  In Colorado, for example, you get $1850 from the Feds and $5000 from the state with no alternative minimum tax (AMT) issue!  Many other states/cities/utilities discount registration, car taxes, ev chargers, etc. so maximize your savings while making a difference.
  4. The official Tesla forums are your friend and can be searched here, but don’t overlook the unsanctioned forums at Tesla Motors Club to get the scoop on everything and helpful advice from other fans.  My handle is @Reeler on both forums.  There is great information on the Teslarati or ElecTrek blog sites too.
  5. Depending on the year, the IRS in the US will give credit against your wall charger purchase and install costs.  Confirm with your tax accountant as this benefit is subject to AMT so I didn’t qualify, but you might.
  6. Don’t buy a used Tesla.  After going through the math on discounts and tax breaks, you will find that new Teslas are cheaper than the used prices in many cases except for older high-mileage ones.  Search for inventory models here, which are never sold units that may have been demos or just excess production.  You want to have the choice of options, longer warranty and recent improvements anyway.  Tesla has a certified pre-owned (CPO) site with inventory if you want to double-check.  Remember, CPO cars do not qualify for the 1000 mile referral supercharging credit or other tax rebates.
  7. If you still need to save more money, consider getting the smaller battery which takes about $8K out of the initial price.  After driving electric for several years, range anxiety quickly disappeared with experience and 200 miles range is plenty good enough even with the occasional cross-country trip and ample supercharging stations.
  8. After you configure your order, but before you confirm it, a Tesla rep will offer to help you by phone or e-mail.  Call that person and see if there is an already-built “inventory” models sitting somewhere or being shipped.  Tesla will bargain a little on these cars and move it to your location with shipping sometimes waived (more rare today).  I have heard folks saving $1K-30K for Teslas in inventory or recently orphaned.  It is called a “showroom discount” on an “inventory model” and is available on demos or any other car that hasn’t been sold before (i.e., CPO), and you still get your the free supercharging and tax breaks!  Better discounts are common near the end of the quarter or with older configurations too.  The more expensive the car, the better the discounts become.
  9. Consider the avoiding the full-self driving (FSD) option at purchase as it is not working much better than the included auto pilot (AP).  Wait for it to get debugged and regulatory approval and upgrade then if the features you need are working well enough to be practical.  I have a friend who bought a Model X to get the FSD in 2016 and will likely sell her car prior to enjoying any real advantage.  Don’t loan Tesla money on FSD features that are vaporware today.
  10. Free Destination Chargers for Businesses: Commercial sites can apply for two free destination charges and Tesla will supply two Wall Connectors that can work from a single circuit and not overload things when two cars are charging.  In some circumstances, they will even install chargers for non-Tesla vehicles as part of a package.  Apply here.
  11. Buy a Tesla Solar (formerly Solar City) system to power your car from the sun.  Really, any solar company can provide this so get multiple quotes, but Tesla seems to be very competitive these days.

Q: What happened to free forever supercharging from the referral program?
A: The program was finally ended February 2, 2019 so unless you took advantage of it prior to that date and are waiting for your delivery, it is gone.  Check back as they sometimes will re-offer that perk.  1000 miles of free credit is all that they give today.

Q: If I have questions, can I contact you before I order?

A: Absolutely.  Please contact by E-mail if you have any questions before purchase.  I live in Denver, Colorado and am happy to answer any questions you might have.

Q: Tell me a little more about yourself?

A: I have owned over a dozen different electric cars over the years and have not driven an internal combustion engine (ICE) car in 9 years except where it was an antique going to a car show.  I have helped nearly 100 owners through their purchase and am happy to help you too.  And you will find that all ICE cars feel like an antique.

Q: You missed a great way to save money on a Tesla . . .

A: Please let me know and I will add it to the above list so that others might be able to afford a Tesla too.

5th – 6th April 2018 at the University of Liverpool

The Second Annual Thatcher Network Conference

Lord Michael Heseltine
Stephen Farrall (Sheffield)
David Jeffery (Liverpool)

We invite abstracts (for papers lasting 20 minutes) which respond to the theme “Thatcherism Now”.

The conference is concerned with the notion of Thatcherism after Thatcher. It asks how we can identify and understand the legacy of Thatcher and Thatcherism in Britain (and abroad) post-1990. Conor Burns MP disclosed that Thatcher had boasted of New Labour being her greatest achievement. But to what extent is it true that Labour under Tony Blair represented a continuation of her politics? Theresa May’s embrace of a so-called ‘hard Brexit’, her nationalist discourse and unwavering approach to EU negotiations has led to multiple, contrasting comparisons with Thatcher. How should we understand the influence of the UK’s first female Prime Minister on its second? Is May truly the first “post-Thatcherite” Prime Minister? From Meryl Streep’s performance in The Iron Lady to François Fillon’s appearance as “The French Thatcher” on the cover of Libération, Thatcher’s image continues to be used internationally. What has Thatcher come to symbolise in a contemporary context? What does this say about how she is remembered? We are interested in papers which provide answers to questions such as these – and which shed new light on Thatcher’s legacy.

We welcome abstracts from all subject disciplines: our 2017 conference featured papers from specialists in history, politics, literature, philosophy, media studies, economics and linguistics among others.

Papers may cover – but are not limited to – topics such as:

  • Archival findings which challenge established narratives of Thatcher’s time in government
  • Literary and cinematic (re-)constructions of Thatcher
  • Thatcher and Theresa May – departure or continuity?
  • Thatcherism’s impact upon New Labour
  • Thatcherism’s influence on the politics and perceptions of British-European relations
  • The continuity of Thatcherite ideas of nationhood and citizenship
  • The legacy of Thatcher’s policies (e.g. Right to Buy)

Submit abstracts of up to 350 words to antony.mullen@dur.ac.uk by Friday 3rd November 2017.
Submissions should include a speaker biography (of up to 150 words) and be submitted as a Word document. Please indicate your willingness to contribute your paper to an edited collection of essays.

Organising Committee: Antony Mullen (Durham), Keshia Jacotine (Monash) and Steven Daniels (Liverpool)

The Thatcher Network is committed to social and political diversity. We particularly welcome submissions from women, black and ethnic minority individuals, and those on the political right. Submissions from PhD students and ECRs are also welcomed.

My newest painting just took a first place award at Atelier6000’s Feb. show Survey: Charts, Maps, Ledgers, Navigation.

My new series is about the final voyage of the whaleship Essex and its demise by ramming of an angry sperm whale leading to a harrowing 89 day, 2500 mile drift by whaleboat. Accounts from the few survivors have inspired sections of the whale attack in Melville’s, Moby Dick, and cannibalism in Edgar Allen Poe’s Narrative of Author Gordon Pym.

To me the voyage and tragedy represent a different era of American history. One that is built primarily on the quest for whale oil. Aside from the obvious romanticism of man at sea and the hardships thereof, the dubious task of taking down so large a mammal by hand relates humankinds ability to willingly enter into stupendous circumstances and risk everything. Harpooning a whale could take the better part of the day, with the whole whaleboat team rowing for miles upon miles to kill the whale and then haul it back to the boat for processing. That of course is if the whale didn’t rend their boat to splinters and send them all awash with a flick of its tail. Whaling was a primal enterprise and truly, few lines of work were as dangerous or as grizzly. These whale crews were also explorers, escaped convicts and slaves, outcasts, and men searching for themselves at sea. Their trade put them not only at risk of the elements, but presented enormous strain on their bodies, psyche, and thus their futures.

My series is not about glorifying the hunt or the killing of these whales, but it is about the idea of setting yourself adrift and truly pursuing something. I am interested in thinking about what these people experienced not in the eye of the whale or moment of the hunt, but in the world and sea around them as they drift the vast oceans and brave the unknown and volatile environment so far from the comforts of land. The pieces focus on place, in fact specific points on the map, and distinct moments as I see them through the eyes of those who may have traveled before me. They are not based on photographs and internet queries, but narratives and course plotting’s of travels past and of ideas of an invented ocean that perhaps my history as a human knows better than my own eyes.

This series is still being built and the ideas around the pieces must to have room to grow and evolve, but for now this is the path I have laid out to navigate.

On May 18, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo issued a strong criticism of the World Health Organization (WHO) for denying Taiwan observer status at the annual World Health Assembly held a few days ago.

Pompeo condemned the exclusion of Taiwan from the meeting that took place virtually, claiming that Director-General of the WHO Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus “had every legal power and precedent to include Taiwan,” according to The Washington Times.

“He instead chose not to invite Taiwan under pressure from the People’s Republic of China [Chinese Communist Party],” Pompeo said, adding, “The director-general’s lack of independence deprives the Assembly of Taiwan’s renowned scientific expertise on pandemic disease, and further damages the WHO’s credibility and effectiveness at a time when the world needs it the most.”

Because of the exemplary role that Taiwan has played in the face of the outbreak of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) Virus, more and more countries are recognizing its leadership and applauding the assertive measures that it has chosen during the pandemic, and are urging the WHO to include it in its agenda.

Although Taiwan was granted observer status at the WHO’s annual assembly from 2009 to 2016, the presidency was held by Ma Ying-jeou, a politician known for having a largely conciliatory stance toward Beijing.

On May 18, the Taiwanese government testified that its efforts to participate in the annual WHO assembly continued but later it decided to postpone the issue given the pressure being exerted by the CCP.

According to the South China Morning Post, Taiwan’s participation in the assembly that was held on May 18 required the acceptance of the 194 member countries of the WHO, however some nations in the Asian region preferred to distance themselves from the appointment of the island to avoid facing disputes with the CCP.

Taiwan’s participation in the assembly also attracted the attention of other countries in the region that defend democracy, such as Japan, which together with the United States drafted a letter addressed to the United Kingdom, Australia, France, and Germany asking then to cosign a request to the director-general of the WHO to grant Taiwan observer status again.

Meanwhile, the U.S. secretary of state’s statements exacerbated Beijing’s anger and today, May 20, from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs they condemned his words of praise for Taiwan and in particular to President Tsai Ing Wen for starting her second term, assuring that it caused serious damage to Sino-U.S. relations.

According to Fox News, a statement released on the Foreign Ministry’s website stated, “China urges the U.S. side to immediately correct its mistakes.”

“The Chinese side will take necessary countermeasures to respond to the above-mentioned erroneous actions by the U.S. side. And the U.S. side should bear the consequences arising therefrom,” the statement added.

The prolonged tension that has taken place since the 1949 civil war between China and Taiwan is due to Taiwan’s insistence on advocating for democracy and distancing itself from the political power of the CCP, which has in various ways exerted pressure to establish the “one country, two systems” policy, a measure that directly affects Taiwanese sovereignty.

Wi-Fi Marketing Services – The Next Advertising Frontier

SB Free WiFi

SB Free WiFi

The Advent of Free Wi-Fi

Chances are, you’ve used free Wi-Fi. Whether you’re waiting for your flight at the airport or ordering your favorite latte at Starbucks, free Wi-Fi is usually available and hard to pass up. As customers get more and more accustomed to using Free Wi-Fi everywhere, as a business owner, it makes sense to utilize that service to increase business growth. Obviously there’s a fine line between ethical customer engagement and just being obnoxious and invasive. With any service, there’s always room for abuse. But used correctly it can be a very valuable marketing tool to help you engage your customers by interactions other than ones that are static in-store.

What Are Wi-Fi Marketing Services?

At a high level, Wi-Fi Marketing Services can help you engage customers when they sign in to your Free Wi-Fi. When I first researched this topic, there were only a handful of companies providing this service. Now I can find 10 or more across the globe. Think about the billions of ad dollars generated by Google Search, Facebook and YouTube. Essentially a service was popularized and ads were brought in later to monetize the platform. These companies are hoping to cash in on the same trend and this time it’s Free Wi-Fi.

How Do We Monetize Wi-Fi?

Wi-Fi Marketing Services can help you monetize free Wi-Fi in many ways. I’ll talk about each way briefly below.

1. Free “slow” Wi-Fi, paid for “faster” Wi-Fi.

Coupon System

This is similar to what you’ve probably seen at hotels and airports, where you can purchase a faster bandwidth profile for a charge on your credit card. There’s also a version called couponing, where a business owner can create a ticket with a password that enables the higher profile when the customer uses the provided login credentials. This way is very popular overseas in Asia.

2. Captive Portal with benefits.

Captive Portal Splash Page

When you connect to free Wi-Fi, you’re often greeted with a webpage where you have to agree to a “Terms of Service” or use a Social Login like Facebook, Google, etc… to gain access. That page is called a Captive Portal because it essentially holds you captive until you perform a desired action. This action can also include watching a video or advertisement, redirecting the customer to install a mobile app, and many others. In the past, customizing the Captive Portal was fairly basic, allowing to upload a Brand Logo and inputting text into a preset template. Today, Wi-Fi Marketing Services give you built-in tools for full webpage customization to really showcase your brand, without needing any html coding experience.

3. Visitor Statistics and Analytics

Visitor Statistics
Visitor Statistics

Social logins not only make it easy for a customer to gain access to free Wi-Fi, allowing them to connect without having to create new credentials, but it gives the business operator a treasure trove of data about those customers. This data can then be used for more targeted promotions and advertising even after the customer has left the premise. This engagement helps to bring customers back to the business. For example, you can create a promotional coupon to be sent to all customers that haven’t been back to the business in the last 7 days. And of course you can use these historical statistics to analyze how well the business is doing, tracking total number of customers per day/month and conversion rates on promotions.

How Big is This Business?

Just to give you an idea of how big this business is, look at this profile of a company called Purple.

Purple Company Profile

They work as third party service to any Wi-Fi Access Point hardware vendor, it’s obviously in their best interests to be hardware agnostic to promote usage and adoption. And as I mentioned at the beginning of the article, this is one of many companies in a fast growing industry. It will be interesting how the landscape shakes out in the next few years. There could be consolidation and hardware partnerships, similar to how all the Enterprise Networking companies gobbled up Cloud Managed Wi-Fi companies. Cisco bought Meraki for $1.2 billion, HP bought Aruba for $2.7 billion, Extreme Networks bought Aerohive for $272 million and Juniper Networks bought Mist for $405 million. The future will be interesting indeed.

Choosing A Qualified Injury Lawyer

Choosing A Qualified Injury Lawyer

Automobile accidents may be the leading cause of injuries in the US but there are many more areas where negligence on the part of another person or entity can be the cause of an injury. It could be a faulty product, medical malpractice or slipping on a wet spot on the floor of the supermarket.

If you have suffered injury due to negligence on the part of another you will need Chicago injury attorneys that have successfully litigated these types of cases. The question then becomes,” how do you go about finding these attorneys?”

You will be looking for a legal professional who has proven expertise in handling personal injury law suits, has a record of settling cases out of court as well as being tenacious in court if the case should go that far. To help you find an attorney that meets these criteria perhaps these few hints will help:

   * Hire an attorney that is seen as a “plaintiffs” attorney rather than a defense attorney. As you are the injured party you are the plaintiff in the action. The defendant, the person responsible for causing the accident that resulted in your injury is the defendant and often is represented by a lawyer from his or her insurance company.

   * Study the profile of the attorney; what is his or her “win ratio?” What skills does the attorney have? Is the attorney known to be aggressive in court? These are all important questions as you will be looking for a settlement that is commensurate with the extent of your injuries.

   * Hopefully your case will not have to go to court but if it does, do the Chicago injury attorneys that you are considering feel comfortable in Court? The best attorney will not feel the least bit threatened if challenged by the defense to take the case to court.

Once you have identified the Chicago injury attorneys that you feel comfortable with, ensure that they work on contingency. This means you have no upfront legal expenses as the lawyer will be compensated out of the award.

As the individual or entity that was responsible for your injury will certainly be represented it is imperative that you too have successful Chicago injury attorneys to fight for compensation. You are invited to contact the Shea Law Group for a free case evaluation. Follow us on our Google+ page.

So-Called Country

20 years ago, artists such as Clint Black, Ty Herndon, Jo Dee Messina, and George Strait hit the Billboard Top 25 for Hot Country Songs of the week, and I’d be willing to bet that many students at Texas A&M today, who were born close to this time period, have no idea who some of these artists are and the songs they produced. Today, so-called “country artists” on Billboard’s website include Florida Georgia Line, Kelsea Ballerini, and LoCash (which is not a name I would choose for my son, but everyone likes their coffee a little different, I suppose), and even some of the artists who have been around a while, such as Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney, are increasingly finding it more popular to sing duets with traditionally pop or rock singers, like P!nk and Demi Lovato. Our country has seen this sort of blending before. Blues from African Americans in the south spread to the north and influenced rock sensations like Stevie Ray Vaughan, and the word “country” began to encompass everything from bluegrass to gospel to western swing. However, it raises a valid question that haunts the minds of those who watch the Grand Ole Opry and whose parents grew up watching Hee-Haw (such as myself): Have we gone too far? Is this blending too much? Or, is it time to move on? Is this how our grandparents felt when our parents started listening to Michael Jackson and Prince for the first time?

‘Send Bachelors and Come Heavily Armed’: Rogue Senators Threaten Violence, Destroy Oregon Climate Bill as Democratic Majority Caves

Oregon state capitol ZehnKatzen/WikipediaZehnKatzen/Wikipedia

UPDATE June 26, 2019, 9:35 AM ET: After a six-day stand-off, the Republican minority in the Oregon state senate has defeated a carbon cap-and-trade bill championed by Democratic Governor Kate Brown, Oregon Public Radio reports [1]. “What I’m about to say I say of my own free will. No one has told me to say this,” Senate President Peter Courtney said Tuesday. “HB 2020 does not have the votes on the Senate floor. That will not change.”

“His announcement earned instant condemnation from supporters of the cap-and-trade bill, which would have reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 45% of 1990 levels by 2035 and 80% of 1990 levels by 2050,” EcoWatch writes, citing the state broadcaster. “Those inside the gallery stood up and turned their backs on Courtney as he spoke.”

An Oregon senator promised violence against state police, threats from right wing militia shut down the state legislature, and a website using the “blue lives matter” slogan touted a crowdfunding campaign supporting the renegade legislators over the local constabulary, after Democrats tried to pass a carbon cap-and-trade bill introduced by Governor Kate Brown.

Rather than allowing the senate to convene and the Democratic majority to pass the bill, Republicans bolted for the state border, beyond the reach of the law. Latest reports had them taking refuge in Idaho, Montana, and Washington State.

“We will not stand by and be bullied by the majority party any longer,” Senate Republican Leader Herman Baertschiger, Jr. said in a statement [3]. “Protesting cap-and-trade by walking out today represents our constituency and exactly how we should be doing our job.”

“Send bachelors and come heavily armed,” Sen. Brian Boquist warned a state police superintendent. “I’m not going to be a political prisoner in the state of Oregon. It’s just that simple.”

“We strongly condemn the comments made this week in the Oregon State Capitol by Sen. Brian Boquist, threatening lawmakers and Oregon State Police troopers,” House Speaker Tina Kotek responded in a statement. “Law enforcement officers put their lives on the line every day in the name of protecting Oregonians and should never be subject to these kinds of threats, let alone from a public official.”

“His comments have created fear among employees in our workplace,” she added. “We will always defend free speech and welcome frank policy discussions, but threats like these are unacceptable.”

But other members of the Republican minority appeared unbowed and unashamed.

“We do our jobs best when we represent our constituents best, and that means doing everything in our power to keep them from being irreparably damaged, which this bill will do,” added Sen. Cliff Bentz.

“House Bill 2020 institutes a carbon tax, and the result of that is a massive gas tax increase of about 22 cents a gallon,” said [4] State Sen. Tim Knopp. “It makes us uncompetitive in manufacturing and we will lose thousands of manufacturing jobs.”

The intense standoff ensued after the state assembly passed the bill and forwarded it on for a vote in the senate. Democrats hold majorities in both bodies, but in the senate, they need at least two Republicans present to make quorum. So “the Republicans, facing down a Democratic supermajority bent on passing bills to combat climate change, resorted to some last-ditch political arithmetic: no senators, no votes,” the Washington Post explains.

“It is absolutely unacceptable that the Senate Republicans would turn their back on their constituents who they are honour-bound to represent here in this building,” Brown said late last week. “They need to return and do the jobs they were elected to do.”

Brown authorized state police to track down the absent senators and drive them back to the state capitol in patrol cars. The police department said it would opt instead for “polite communication”. That was about the time that Boquist issued his violent threat.

“Critics of the cap-and-trade bill vigorously oppose it because they say it will have a disproportionate and detrimental effect on Oregon’s rural communities,” the Post says. “Under the plan, greenhouse gas emissions would be limited and carbon-producing businesses would be required to purchase pollution credits. Over time, the state would decrease the number of credits available, thereby lowering the level of emissions allowed.”

But “those against the legislation argue that industry will likely pass the extra cost on to consumers, and the price of fuel would rise, putting a strain on industries like trucking and logging.”

The Post recounts past incidents when Democrats in Texas and Wisconsin and Republican senators in Washington, DC pulled similar stunts. But this may have been the first time that right wing extremists got into the act, issuing threats that shut down the state legislature Friday.

“State Senate President Peter Courtney (D) told his colleagues on Friday that Oregon State Police had informed him there was a credible threat to him, the rest of the remaining senators—all of whom are Democrats—and the building’s staff,” the Post reported [5] Friday. “State police confirmed the danger in an emailed statement,” after militia groups announced a rally in support of the 11 Republican senators.

“It was obviously a credible threat because Sen. Courtney wouldn’t close it down for no reason,” said spokesperson Carol Currie.

“We have been monitoring information throughout the day that indicates the safety of legislators, staff, and citizen visitors could be compromised if certain threatened behaviours were realized,” wrote state police captain Timothy Fox.

Mother Jones warned [6] Friday that the cap-and-trade protest had drawn in the Oregon chapter of the Three Percenters, a “paramilitary group known for anti-government and pro-gun sentiment”. In a Facebook post Thursday night, the group vowed it would “stand together with unwavering resolve, doing whatever it takes to keep these Senators safe.” It promised “security, transportation, and refuge” for the 11 Republicans.

“The Senators are not with any militias and are not accepting their help,” replied [7] Senate Republican spokeswoman Kate Gillem.

On Monday, NPR reported that Baertschiger and Courtney had had a “very long” phone conversation that Baertschiger declined to describe in any detail. “I don’t want to do anything to disrupt the conversations,” he said, but restated his demand for a direct ballot on the cap-and-trade bill.

“That’s in the talks right now,” he said. “Where that goes I have no idea.”

But meanwhile, a columnist for Esquire pointed [8] to a moment of “insanity” in which “people with guns have involved themselves in a legislative dispute while the officials of one political party cheer them on”. Media Matters for America reported [9] further calls for violence from a pro-Trump subreddit [10]. And weirdly, a website purportedly devoted to “blue lives” was amplifying a crowdfunding campaign aimed at covering costs for the renegade senators issuing threats against state police.

“While liberal cities like Portland are wildly in favor of the climate change legislation, the rest of the state, whose businesses are actually impacted by the new law, having been fighting it desperately,” the site stated.

When you arrived, I cried,
No-matter how hard I tried,
Holding you tenderly I rejoiced,
What I thought was the end of waiting,
Turned out to be the beginning.

Wait and longing to see you smile,
To watch you sleep at peace all night,
Things didn’t seem to follow my plan,
But you gurgled and wiped my frown,
With your gentle smile & early sounds.

You practiced it to keep me happy,
Running chores from feeding to changing nappy,
Bath times were a little frantic,
Always made my pulse-rate erratic.

Then life took a happy turn,
When roll over was what you learned,
Sleeping on your tummy, learning to sit,
My happiness took a new shift.

You started sleeping better,
But I couldn’t stop worrying,no-matter,
Finally, you took reigns of freedom in your hand,
And crawled away to glory like ruler of the land.

You were here, you were there,
I was frantically chasing you everywhere,
When came the time to eat solid,
The family raced to feed you all it could.

I played the cop watching your diet,
Keeping you from eating all you might,
One fine day you woke to an itchy gum,
Through it your first teeth did come.

Milestones - The Era I Lived In .1

With fascination for mirrors & desire to grab the stars,
You crawled, stood and learnt to play with boxes & bars,
You waved, clapped & started to babble,
Showing me signs soon you’ll be ready to win hearts,
With your warmth, talk & charming demeanor.

Playing peek-a-boo, giggling, pointing at your small booties & hat.
Soon came the festive day,
It was your first birthday.

When others stood & started walking,
We were still having fun crawling,
Your grandparents worried what’s wrong,
I was sure, the time is yet to strike the gong.

All the worry & fear were futile,
I knew all along you were born agile,
Soon you walked & learnt to run,
That’s when started the real fun.

It was soon time for your fascination,
To the charming girl in your reflection,
You blew kisses, scribbled signs of love,
That’s when books touched you like true love.

Touching, watching, chewing books,
You learnt about your body, the veges & fruits,
You ran, jumped, ate and danced,
Chasing birds, bees and butterflies,
Painting yourself and your vision of life.

Time has flown,
You have grown,
Worries of the firsts now feel like a waste,
Growth happens at its own pace.

You took time to warm up,
Soon got steady, sped & caught up,
What I learnt from your milestones?
Everything happens only when the time comes.

Parents worry about their child’s milestones all the time. Comparing them with others and worrying to death. Little do we realize that those moments spent worrying are making us miss on our child’s precious moments. Every milestone is precious but it happens only when the child is prepared for it. Enjoy every moment, keeping worries at bay because our baby is getting older every day.

    1. Yay! I am so glad Pari had company too. Though at the time the way my family had been freaking out comparing Pari to other kids and forcing me to go see a pediatrician did feel stressful but in hindsight they were all a major learning curve 🙂
      Thank you so much TH ❤

    How well you defined the progressing time of a growing baby from her births to different set of your responsibility! That had put smile on my face 🙂

    1. You sure know how to spread love and warmth through your beautiful words Rosema 🙂
      Love your comments just as much I love your blog ❤
      Thank you dear.

  3. We continue to rejoice in their milestones even when they are adolescents. Parenting is a constant pull on the heartstrings. Love your poem so much, so meaningful moments captured effortlessly.

    “Everything happens only when the time comes” ❤

    This is such a beautiful poem, dear. I'm pretty sure every parent who read this poem could relate with it. It describes the feelings and worries that you had at every milestone in your child's life in a fabulous way!

    But, aren't the milestones of children the milestones of parents too? 🙂

    Good going!

    1. I agree a child’s every milestone is in a way a milestone for the parent too, however, we parents have our own milestones too. Maybe, I need to capture those in a anew post someday 😀
      Thank you dear for all the love ❤

  5. what a lovely way to express through your poem, enjoyed reading this post, I never worried for my daughter, but for my son who was a down syndrome i was anxious… and worried.. thanks for sharing your thoughts !!

  6. We can’t rush life, much as we try. in Milestone, you express that emotionally well. It will come, whatever milestone we’re waiting and hoping for, it will come when the time is right.
    Thank you.

      Thank you Silvia 🙂

      Delays in milestones happen all the time, as long as they fall in the normal range all is fine and nothing to worry.
