Smartphone Customer Experience Variance in India Significantly Higher Than Global Benchmarks
November 27, 2018 technuter	0 Comments
Broadband India Forum (BIF) along with Phimetrics (a leading independent telecom audit and analytics company) released a first-of-its-kind study that tested the operational variances of smartphones across the premium, mid-range and low-priced categories across multiple markets including India. The report shows a variance of +/- 27% range for data and +/- 0.5% range for voice for India – suggesting a serious implication for overall customer service.
The testing was done under similar network conditions to highlight these operational variances and these were then compared to similar variances in global markets. The variance in operations in India across all phones was in the region of +/- 27% while the global benchmark for such operational variance is seen to be in the region of only +/- 10%. The significantly higher difference in Indian smartphones highlights that the models in India differ significantly from global peers. Smartphone variance was measured across 4 key operational parameters – (i) Download Speeds; (ii) Upload Speeds; (iii) Video Buffer Time and (iv) Web Browsing Delay.
The report highlights that almost 38% of India's top selling models vary as much as +/- 30% thus impacting customer experience significantly. In the case of premium handsets, the operational variance seen was in the rage of +/- 15% and most handsets were within the +/- 10% range only which is very close to global benchmarks. Thus, these handsets did not impact customer experience greatly. However, devices in the low-mid range showed the highest variance, typically around +/- 30% across all KPIs.
The report also highlighted that operational issues have a direct impact in terms of delays and potential loss to the internet economy. Total delays experienced due to poor performing devices was seen to be 25,000 man-years and the potential loss to the internet economy (2020 projections) is estimated to be around US$30 Billion.
Since the report only tested the top selling smartphones across price-points, the variance impact is likely to be higher when all devices are considered. The highest variance has been seen in the low-device segment which is also the highest selling (number of units) thereby maximising the impact in terms of man-hours lost and the financial impact on the economy. A country variance of +/- 27% suggests serious implications on overall customer experience.
Mr. Kartik Raja, Founder and Chairman, Phimetrics Technologies Pvt Ltd said, "This first ever customer experience study on the Indian smartphone market is quite an eye-opener on several counts. It is a quantitative assessment of the impact of smartphones on the networks. It highlights the performance of Indian smartphones and points out some serious operational variances across all price-bands which in turn adversely affects the internet economy in terms of man-hours lost as well as having a negative financial impact. Most customers being unaware of these variations end-up buying handsets based on vanity metrics that has no correlation with operational excellence, as the key performance indicators are not provided for their consideration and evaluation. Simplifying a consumer purchase decision with a simple star rating mechanism may be the need of the hour and will be helpful for customers to make informed decisions."
Mr. T. V. Ramachandran, President, Broadband India forum said – "A wide variety of factors, both at the network level as well as device level contribute to the overall mobile experience. While not previously unaddressed, differences in performance between devices and their effect on the user experience are rarely examined in a public policy context. The timing of this report is fortuitous, given the near-term migration to next generation 5G networks. It's an aspect that may have been missed but is a critical determinant of accelerated mobile adoption."

Storing your estate documents, such as a Power of Attorney, in a secure place is extremely important. Some of us assume that one of the safest places to store our documents, in particular our Power of Attorney, is at a bank in a safety deposit box.
However, because a Power of Attorney is a document people use to allow a trusted friend to make decisions when they are unable to, storing your document (or at least your only copy) with a bank is often not recommended.
In this post, discover a couple of reasons why you shouldn't store your Power of Attorney in a safety deposit box and what you should do instead.
A Power of Attorney, sometimes called a POA, lets you provide someone else (like a friend or family member) with the authority to make important decisions (such as financial or business decisions) for you when you're unable to. If you're creating a Power of Attorney, then you're the principal and whoever you appoint to make your decisions is your attorney-in-fact, sometimes called an agent.
A person can have an Ordinary Power of Attorney, meaning the principal is still capable of making their own decisions but can't for reasons such as long-term travel, or an Enduring Power of Attorney, meaning the principal is unable to make their own decisions for reasons like they've become incapacitated due to an illness or disability.
To use a POA, an attorney-in-fact often needs to have the original document that was created and signed by the principal, which is why where it is stored is so important and why you should avoid storing it in a safety deposit box.
Keeping your original Power of Attorney in a safety deposit box might mean it's not able to be accessed when it's needed most.
Imagine a friend creates an Enduring Power of Attorney and appoints you as the attorney-in-fact. Your friend then places their original POA in their safety deposit box and doesn't create any certified copies to place anywhere else. Often, deposit boxes can only be opened during banking hours, which means you'll be unable to access it after hours, on weekends, or on holidays.
If something were to happen, like a car accident that results in your friend being incapacitated, and the Enduring Power of Attorney is in a deposit box, you may not be able to obtain the Power of Attorney to make important, possibly time-sensitive decisions, such as authorizing payment for medical bills or providing funds to help family members fly to see their loved one.
Similarly, a Power of Attorney is often required by banks to allow someone like an attorney-in-fact to open a person's safety deposit box. So, without one, you may be unable to access the document and start your duties as an attorney-in-fact.
In this situation, it is easy to see how big of a problem it would be if the very document you need to enter the deposit box is inside it.
Where Should You Store Your POA?
Although a deposit box is a great place to store important documents, it is not a good place to store your only POA. That said, it can still be used to store a copy of your document as long as another copy is available elsewhere in case the bank or deposit box is inaccessible when you need access. You can also store your POA with someone you trust, like your lawyer, accountant, or attorney-in-fact or even in a safe in your home.
Wherever you decide to store your document, ensure that your attorney-in-fact will be able to access the document when it's needed.
A person should put a lot of thought about where they store important estate documents such as a Power of Attorney. You might think a safety deposit box at a bank is a great place to store your POA, but it might not be accessible by your attorney-in-fact when it is needed the most.
Therefore, it's better to store multiple copies of your document in a few places or store it with a trusted person or in a safe location in your home.

Why John F. Shea
Replacement & Restoration
Home // Why John F. Shea // Team
Meet the people behind the projects that John F. Shea completes on time and on budget. These featured team members exemplify the integrity, training, skill and passion that unite our team and fuel our success.
Steve Bean
Sheet Metal Supervisor
You could say Steve Bean is in the family businesses. The Sheet Metal Supervisor joined John F. Shea in 1988. He's been spending the majority of his days "in the shop, fabricating metal" ever since. "My father did this for a living," explains Steve. But while his father did metal work for a different company, "I worked with [John F. Shea President] Josh David's father and his father's friend." These old-school artisans "did the job extremely well and knew how to do a lot of the fancier stuff" which is where Steve learned the art of stretching and shrinking copper for custom fabrication.
Steve Bean was tapped to run the sheet metal shop while still finishing his apprenticeship when the long-time supervisor retired and recommended him for the job. Decades later John F. Shea has grown to meet demand, most recently with the move to Avon, MA from the family-business's century-long home in Mattapan. "It's phenomenal to have a nice big shop like that," he says about spacious 6,000-sqft shop within the sprawling new 32,000-sqft facility
What keeps Steve and his team interested after so many days in the shop? "In custom fabrication," he explains, "work is never cut and dry. Every roof is different. Every metal we have to custom bend. Every building has its own custom features." So no day is the same.
As Sheet Metal Supervisor, he helps his team manage the challenges of juggling multiple jobs. As an architecture buff he also relishes visiting the job sites, particularly for historic properties. "The older buildings have so much more character compared to the new ones today," Steve opines. "I love doing the older ones, with elaborate brickwork, masonry, copper and slate." His favorite projects, such as the Wellesley Town Hall, and the historic Bruce C. Bolling Building, in Boston's Dudley Square include "stretching and mounting copper, making gutters and rounded pieces."
"I love doing copper work that's going to be seen," he continues, "something fancy that other people might not be able to make." John F. Shea's partnership with the Boston Planning and Development Agency to restore the Bolling Building, formerly the Ferdinand Building, to consolidate and house the Boston Public Schools Administration offices gave his John F. Shea team the perfect opportunity. Steve describes the project as "one of the proudest moments I've had yet."
The Middleboro, MA resident prefers to spend his days off at the gym with his wife or visiting with his family, including his four sons and one granddaughter. "I'm definitely a family guy, no doubt about that."
Project Executive mfrank@johnfshea.com
With 30 years in the industry, Project Executive Michael Frank brings a depth of experience to John F. Shea roofing. While he started at JFS as an estimator and project manager, he found himself "starting to move more into business development, trying to open up new markets," including public construction.
When Michael joined JFS in 2012, "John F Shea had done a lot of private construction work, but didn't do as much public construction." Projects designed to renovate or repair publicly owned infrastructure have the potential to help the community by increasing the value and potentially the quality of life within them. By pursuing work in the public sector, John F. Shea offered up their reconstructive expertise to historic landmarks like Boston's Memorial Hatch Shell. The challenges of repairing and restoring properties in the public trust can come with unique complications both in the bidding process and during the project itself. Luckily Michael was able to expertly navigate this new (to JFS) terrain.
After spending decades as Project Manager, Contract Manager and Consulting Engineer at other firms, Michael contends that working at John F. Shea is a different experience entirely. "The biggest difference in working with JFS is the attention to detail," he explains. "It's in how they handle their projects and how they manage them." Roofing experts since 1917, John F. Shea's history was familiar to Michael even before he joined the team. "I remember working with Bob Shea many years ago, that's how the company was run then — with a focus on quality — and that's how it's run now."
A resident of Somerset, MA, Michael graduated High School in Fall River and attended Roger Williams College, majoring in civil engineering. Married for more than 35 years, the father of two enjoys spending his free time in the kitchen. "When I'm not working, my favorite hobby is cooking," says Michael. "I really caught the bug 15 years ago."

Syrian opposition elects interim prime minister
New York Times March 18, 2013
BEIRUT — Syria's main opposition group elected a naturalized U.S. citizen from Texas early today as the first prime minister of its planned interim government, hoping to establish administrative authority in areas of northern Syria that have been secured by insurgents fighting President Bashar Assad.
Ghassan Hitto, 50, a former information technology executive, emigrated from Syria more than two decades ago.
He and his wife, Suzanne, have four children, all of whom were born in the United States.
His eldest son, Obaida, joined the rebels in Syria several months ago and was injured there in a bombing, according to the opposition's media office.
Hitto and his family have lived in Northeast Texas near Texarkana and in the Dallas suburb of Murphy.
Hitto is listed as former director of operations of Integrated Telecom Solutions. His wife is an education management professional in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Hitto was heavily involved in volunteer efforts to help Syrians whose lives had been upended by the uprising against Assad.
In voting televised live by al-Jazeera, Hitto received 35 votes, three more than his closest competitor, Asaad Mustafa, a former Syrian agriculture minister.
"I miss my wife and children, and I look forward to seeing them soon," said Hitto, who recently moved from Texas to Turkey to help coordinate aid to rebel-held areas.
"A lot of the sons of this country had to leave for various reasons," Hitto said in a prerecorded video. "But Syrian people must carry their homeland in their heart wherever they go."
He is expected to select other ministers in coming days for a government that is not yet physically in place in northern Syria. It was unclear whether all the rebel fighters united in their desire to oust Assad would recognize the interim government as a legitimate authority.
Hitto was born in Damascus, the Syrian capital, in 1963, according to his official resume provided by the coalition.
Not well known in Syria, Hitto has academic degrees from Purdue University in Indiana and Indiana Wesleyan University.
He worked for a number of technology companies and helped run a Muslim private school called the Brighter Horizons Academy.
He is also a founding member of the Muslim Legal Fund of America, which was founded to give legal aid to Muslims after 9/11.
The announcement that Hitto had won came hours after Syrian warplanes attacked targets in eastern Lebanon, the first time since the Syrian conflict began that the military had used its air force to strike at suspected rebel hide-outs across the Lebanese border. The aerial assault was the third serious border episode tied to the Syrian conflict in the past two weeks and showed the threat to the country's neighbors.
Earlier on Monday, Lebanon's National News Agency said in a brief dispatch that "warplanes affiliated with the Syrian Air Force" had attacked the Wadi al-Khayl Valley area, near the Lebanese border town of Arsal, without specifying whether they had caused casualties or damage.
The mountainous area is known for its porous border. It is considered a haven for Syrian insurgents, and the civilian population there largely opposes Assad.

AROUND THE CAPITOL: Reports out of Lansing,…
AROUND THE CAPITOL: Reports out of Lansing, Washington
By Lena Khzouz and Lena Khzouz-Magyar |
PUBLISHED: December 4, 2008 at 10:00 p.m. | UPDATED: June 17, 2021 at 12:26 p.m.
U.S. Sen. Carl Levin, who is the Senate Armed Services Committee chairman, made a statement following President-elect Barack Obama's announcement of the members of his national security team.
"President-elect Obama has se-lected a rock solid national security team," Levin said.
"Continuing Robert M. Gates in the position of secretary of de-fense is an excellent and unique choice. It reflects President-elect Obama's perspective that quality is a non-partisan characteristic. "Secretary Gates' courageous actions in restoring a measure of accountability in the Pentagon is a critical component of the change that President-elect Obama was chosen to bring about. His retention as secretary of defense also underlines Secretary Gates' recognition of the lim-its of military power and that America's greatest source of power is the values for which it is willing to fight.
"Finally, I would note that Secretary Gates has correctly stated that the conflict in Afghanistan should mainly be 'Afghanistan's war' and has stressed the need to accelerate the doubling of the size of the Afghan National Army, which is crucial to the defense of Afghanistan's democracy and to stopping cross-border incursions from Pakistan.
"Those safe havens threaten the democracy in Afghanistan and threaten America," he said.
Levin, who also is co-chairman of the Senate Auto Caucus, also made comments about auto in-dustry plans that were released this week.
"We've had lengthy discussions with the industry, and I am confident that the plans they submit will be responsive to the request of the Congress," he said. "I be-lieve the industry will make a compelling case for bridge loans that will allow the companies to return to firm financial footing, and they will lay out plans for continued restructuring and advanced technology products, all of which was under way prior to the global economic collapse."
U.S. Rep. John Dingell (D-15th District) also spoke about the business plans presented for congressional review by American automakers.
The business plans detail exactly how the automakers will restructure their operations and use $25 billion in bridge loans that Congress could authorize as early as next week.
"The release today of detailed business plans from the domestic auto manufacturers will help as-sure the American people that the federal loans being requested by the Detroit Three will be re-paid," Dingell said. "The newly released auto sales numbers showing both foreign and domestic brands with sales down 30 percent or more prove that these are extraordinary economic times.
"Other nations in Asia and Europe are providing assistance to their own struggling automakers so that they can survive the current downturn because they understand how important a strong manufacturing industry is.
"I am hopeful that after reviewing these plans and listening to the testimony of the CEOs this week, Congress will provide support for our manufacturing sector and the millions of Americans whose jobs depend on the auto industry."
Dingell also thanked The Detroit News and Detroit Renais-sance after being selected as a winner of a Detroit Renaissance Award. This is the inaugural year for the awards, which go to people and organizations helping transform the region's economy.
"I am deeply honored and thankful for this high honor from The Detroit News and a distinguished organization like Detroit Renaissance, which is made up of some of the most creative, most enterprising minds in our community," Dingell said.
"We have the finest, most skilled people anywhere in America. Our beautiful state has tremendous resources that make it a great place to do business and a great place to live. I will continue to work to create new opportunities here in Michigan. I am confident that our state will see better and brighter days in the future."
Detroit Renaissance is a group of metropolitan Detroit business executives working to accelerate the region's economic growth.

The We Company To Be Known Again As Wework As It Focuses On Its Core Office-Sharing Business
The "we" moniker of the parent of money-losing shared office provider WeWork – the We Company, will be dropped by it and it would be known by its former better-known name, said a report citing an internal memo. Last year, WeWork was forced to cancel its plans for a stock market listing following severe criticism over its business model and erratic management.
Last year, the management of the company was effectively taken over by its majority owner SoftBank Group Corp. According to analysts, this change and restoration of WeWork as the official name is a significant and symbolic measure by the new management in the face of the company deciding to focus on the core business of the company – office sharing.
WeWork's co-founder, Adam Neumann had introduced the "we" brand in the company in January 2019 and that move was aimed at expanding the core shared office space business of the company into the lifestyle segment.
It was later received that the new brand name was trademarked by Neumann and had been given a $5.9 million payment from WeWork for its use for which the co-founder was severely criticised.
Neumann was then replaced as the chief executive of the company and then was forced to step off the WeWork board last year following the abandoning of the plans of the company to go public. He later also pledged to return the money
This latest move is another measure being taken by the new management to return the company to WeWork's office-sharing roots, said Sandeep Mathrani, the new CEO, in the memo announcing the name change.
"We want to be strategic. We want to be innovative. We want to be impactful. We want to be WeWork," Mathrani wrote. "We are officially restoring our company name from The We Company to WeWork," the memo said, claimed reports.
It will become profitable by the end of 2021, WeWork has said despite its business being battered severely by the novel coronavirus pandemic just like many other businesses.
Companies that are reducing their real estate footprint because of the pandemic will hopefully be beneficial to the company, WeWork hopes, while companies around the world look to use employees working from home and make greater use of flexible workspace which can be provided by WeWork because of its worldwide footprint.
In an effort to steer the company to profitability, new management has been hired and employee numbers have been reduced by Mathrani since Neumann's exit for the company.
In the second quarter, it had cut down on its cash burn rate to $482 million, which was almost half of what it had burned through compared to the end of 2019, WeWork said in August. A new financing commitment worth a total of $1,1 billion had also been given to it by SoftBank, the company also said.

Halyna Hutchins' Family Is Taking Alec Baldwin To Court Over Shooting
The family of the late cinematographer has filed a wrongful death lawsuit, accusing Baldwin and others on the Rust set of reckless behavior.

The bereaved family members of the revered late cinematographer Halyna Hutchins are taking Alec Baldwin to court in the wake of Hutchins being killed on set of the film Rust.
On Tuesday, a lawsuit filed in New Mexico accused the actor of gross negligence and choosing money over a human life. He was named alongside seven producers of Rust, as well as some crew members. The lawsuit, which was obtained by Variety, includes text messages and emails sent by camera assistant Lane Luper that emphasized the issues with both staffing and accidental discharges on set prior to Hutchin's death.
It goes on to allege that Baldwin personally violated many rules for safely handling firearms and that he committed reckless discharge of a deadly weapon, "which is a criminal offense in the State of New Mexico."
Hutchins was tragically killed on the Rust set while filming in New Mexico on Oct. 21 by a gunshot wound to the chest from a prop gun that Baldwin allegedly fired. Her death sparked an outcry across the industry. Baldwin was reportedly practicing a complicated maneuver while preparing for a scene and pointed the gun directly at Hutchins.
In the weeks following the tragedy, Baldwin's public statements on the accidental shooting reiterated his claims that he didn't pull the trigger that killed a crew member.
The crux of the ongoing investigation into how Hutchins was killed has been centered around the mystery of how a live round of ammunition found its way into a prop. The hired armourer, Hannah Reed Gutierrez, reportedly assumed that she was working with fake rounds, while the more seasoned assistant director, Dave Halls, failed to make sure that only dummy rounds were lodged into the prop gun. Gutierrez, who was named alongside Baldwin in the lawsuit filed by Hutchins' family, is suing a crew member who supplied ammunition, Seth Kenney, for allegedly mixing live ammunition with dummy rounds.
Baldwin and his embattled team already responded to a lawsuit filed by a crew member Mamie Mitchell, who was a script advisor on the movie. The defendants are insisting that this is just a case of a "workplace accident" that needs to be settled through applicable channels, as opposed to a courtroom.
It's doubtful that the same argument can be made in the case of Halyna Hutchins and her untimely death.


I've been connecting to a website through someone's proxy server, he just provided me a link to the website through his proxy.
Recently I've been getting "502 Bad Gateway".
Does that mean that he closed his proxy or something and is it possible that it's not related to that but the website itself ?
I'm asking because I've known to get an error before when I could connect to the website directly, I just don't remember what type of error it was.
Any advice would be appreciated, I'd rather not bother the person who provided me with access to his proxy server in the first place.
You do need to bother them, since the proxy server is pretty much your connection to the internet and since it's their service they will need to check on it.
No, I'm sorry for being unclear. I'm not using a service it's just one website that I can't access anymore because it's private and registrations are closed. And my ID no longer works for some reason.
So someone provided me access through their personal username/password for which he had a proxy configured that I can use.
So I would basically just go on this website through his ID/pass by using his proxy.
But recently I've been getting 502 Bad Gateway and I'm not familiar enough with all of this so I wanted to know if that person just shut down that proxy that he gave me access to or is it possible that the error is related to the website.
If it's a single website that does not work, test it using another system or ask someone else to.
That particular website has been known to go down for shorts periods of time I just don't remember what type of error was displayed on screen when it happened, because it's been a while since it happened.
I just wanted to know if it's possible that 502 Bad Gateway could be related to the website instead to the proxy that person gave me to use.
There are several possible reasons to see that error, without trying things to narrow down the cause all you will have is that it may be this or maybe that.

AnodyneXtras 2.0
AgentPhoenix Wed Nov 12, 2014 8:18 pm
This has been a long time coming! When Nova originally launched, I wanted to have a community site where people could post their skins and MODs and rank sets, but time prevented me from working on it. Since then, time hasn't been my friend, but about 9 months ago, I decided to move some things around and make the time. What came out of that work was exactly what I envisioned 4 and a half years ago.
AnodyneXtras will allow you to upload your skins and MODs and share them with people. I worked very hard to make things as simple and straightforward as possible, but still provide a lot of options for people. I think you'll agree when you get in there that it does just that. Once the site is up, you'll see that all of the official Anodyne content is already in there (though sadly I ran out of time and preview images aren't available yet ... I'll be updating the Xtras over the coming weeks with better preview images). There's also an FAQ, a Getting Started Guide, and a guide to Markdown (the syntax we use in Xtras for some of the descriptions and such). I'd encourage you to take a look when it's up.
For the observant, you'll notice that I didn't mention rank sets. For now, general users will not be able to create rank sets because of their confusing nature to most everyone. For Nova 3, when we have a new rank system, we'll open things up a little bit more. If you think you should have the ability to create rank Xtras, drop me a line and we can talk about it.
So when? Like I mentioned earlier, we're moving servers this weekend and when everything comes up on the new server, Xtras will be live. Because of that, it's tough to pin down an actual "launch" time, so we're saying that Xtras will "soft launch" this weekend and I'll make it official on Monday or Tuesday. This new forum section is for people to ask questions, get help or report an issue, and chat about AnodyneXtras, whether it's content or the site itself.
Welcome to Xtras 2.0!

This led to the first widespread monitoring of colonoscopy quality indicators in a public hospital in Singapore. He is now advocating a transparent risk-adjusted surgeon-specific performance reporting system.

India needs to empower its startups to claim a bigger share of global space market
By Abhinav Singh July 13, 2019 14:57 IST
Sky is no limit: Rakesh Sasibhushan, Antrix's chairman and managing director, says a clearer regulatory framework is needed to ensure growth | Bhanu Prakash Chandra
The headquarters of Antrix Corporation Ltd in Bengaluru is impressively lush. Tall trees surround the circular building, and the canopy of green makes for a lovely view from the huge office of Rakesh Sasibhushan, Antrix's chairman and managing director. The premises are not heavily guarded, unlike the nearby headquarters of Antrix's parent company, the Indian Space Research Organisation. "We need to make it easily accessible for businesses and people, as we are [ISRO's] commercial arm," says Sasibhushan. "We aim to do business and get customers."
Antrix has 84 clients in the communications field, including Airtel DTH, Tata Sky and Sun Network. It has only 20 people on its rolls, and had a turnover of 02,039.33 crore in 2017-18. (Last year's results are yet to be announced.)
The revenue is impressive, but not substantial. Antrix, which focuses on satellite launch services for its customers, has achieved only a fraction of what global players such as SpaceX and OneWeb have pulled in. "A lot of work needs to be done for Indian companies to play a meaningful role in the world market," Sasibhushan tells THE WEEK. "Seventy to 80 per cent revenue in the space market comes from satellite services. Today, India's share in the global space market is less than 7 per cent. Though India is a major space-faring nation, we do not have private players who can design and build space systems."
Policymakers have not kept pace with the growing demand for space-based services in India. "Indian companies that are willing to invest in technology will be able to do well in the growing space ecosystem and eventually help India garner a fair share in the global market," says Sasibhushan. "But, the growth of this segment in India is stifled by the lack of clarity in the regulatory framework and [ISRO's] reluctance to share critical technologies."
Growing demand, reduced costs and emerging technologies have brought the global space industry to an inflection point. "Satellite services, which command 90 per cent of industry revenues, are seeing a shift from a one-off satellite that serves a particular region, to global constellations," he says. "Companies like OneWeb, SpaceX and Boeing have already announced communication constellations involving thousands of satellites. The global space industry is valued at around $360 billion today. Morgan Stanley has predicted that the revenues will pass the trillion-dollar mark by 2040."
According to Sasibhushan, this calls for a clearer regulatory framework. "The much-awaited Space Activities Bill would be presented soon. This is expected to bring much-needed clarity, and encourage investment firms and venture capitalists to actively engage with space companies. That is why Antrix had mooted the transfer of small-satellite and small-launcher technologies to the Indian industry. These initiatives, together with the growing demand in space-based services, should usher in a revolution and improve India's global footprint," says Sasibhushan.
Skyroot Aerospace, a Hyderabad-based private space company, is building India's first private orbital launch vehicles. 'Vikram', the first such vehicle, will be launched in 2021. It is capable of putting up satellites that weigh less than 300kg in low earth orbit (altitudes of up to 2,000km).
"We are also working on bigger launch vehicles," says Pawan Kumar Chandana, Skyroot's cofounder and chief executive officer. "Indian companies have an inherent advantage because of lower costs. We need private launch companies to come up and receive all required support from the government—like utilising government facilities and infrastructure. I think India needs at least one big launch vehicle with the capability of launching more than six tonnes to geostationary orbit; [a vehicle] built with public-private partnership, like SpaceX's Falcon-9."

Chandrayaan-2: Vikram traced, but re-establishing communication 'less probable'
Bengaluru-based Astrome Technologies plans to utilise the great market potential. "Just in the satellite communication market, there is a revenue potential of $1.7 billion a year," says Neha Satak, Astrome's chief executive officer. "This market will be driven by developing countries and marine and airline industries. We are bringing down the cost of satellite internet infrastructure by more than 10 per cent. The idea is to make satellite connectivity more accessible and expand the $1.7 billion market even further."
The deep pockets of SpaceX and OneWeb pose a big challenge to Indian companies. "For Indian companies to do better business, the regulations need to be on the side of the companies," says Satak. "This is the number one condition for space companies in India to have access to capital."
Narayan Prasad, cofounder and chief operations officer of Satsearch, which has partnered with Antrix to promote Indian space capabilities in the international market, says India can claim a larger share of the world's space industry market. "The problem in India is that companies are mostly reliant on ISRO to be their customer. At the same time, ISRO is very slow in transferring the necessary knowhow for companies to build end-to-end systems by themselves. This is one reason why you don't see Indian companies competing globally in building satellites or rockets," he says.
India's new Defence Space Agency could be a boon. It could boost the domestic market by facilitating bigger investments and greater opportunities—like allowing Indian companies to cater to the technology requirements of the armed forces. "Through this, Indian companies could design, develop, manufacture, operate and provide services, all by themselves," says Prasad. "This will allow them to take advantage of the low operating and infrastructure costs in India, and help them start competing globally."

Q: Prove that $(-\infty, b)$ for any $b \in \mathbb{R}$ has cardinality $c$ Prove that $(-\infty, b)$ for any $b \in \mathbb{R}$ has cardinality $c$
Proof: Define function $f: (-\infty, b) \rightarrow (-b, \infty)$ by $f(x) = -x$. Note that $f$ is one-to-one and onto because the equation can be solved uniquely for $x$. $x=-y$ is the only solution. Hence $\overline{\overline {(-\infty, b)}} = \overline{\overline{(-b, \infty)}} = \overline{\overline{(0, 1)}} = c$
Is this proof valid?

NIDDK Director's Update Fall 2016
NIDDK Central Repositories amplify research discoveries
Institute offers data, samples and other resources from existing studies for reuse
By Matt Forke

Adijat Adelekan of ThermoFisher, which manages NIDDK repository resources, labels samples with barcodes.
Reinventing the wheel. Starting from scratch. Going back to square one. All pitfalls that researchers can often avoid thanks to the NIDDK Central Repositories. Designed to help researchers save time and start with a leg up, these resources provide an extensive archive of biosamples, research and existing, vetted data.
Repositories can provide seasoned investigators with data sets and samples from similar populations for comparative purposes. They can also offer a head-start for new researchers who want to build upon others' work. Available resources include biospecimens such as stored blood and urine, data, study protocols and more. The resources are created from publicly available information and biosamples provided by NIDDK-funded clinical investigators, projects and publications, from studies of diabetes, obesity, liver and kidney diseases, among others.

Dr. Rebekah Rasooly oversees the NIDDK Central Repositories and is a program director in the NIDDK Division of Kidney, Urologic, and Hematologic Diseases.
"We follow a curatorial process to make it usable and sharable for others," said Dr. Rebekah Rasooly, the project officer overseeing NIDDK Central Repositories and a program director within the NIDDK Division of Kidney, Urologic, and Hematologic Diseases (KUH). "The alternative is having to search for data that might not be accessible or properly stored, which can easily turn into a scavenger hunt."
Below are just a few examples of NIDDK Repository resources:
NASH Consortium
The Clinical Research Network in Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH Consortium) focuses on improving understanding and treatment of NASH, a common, often "silent" liver disease. NASH resembles alcoholic liver disease but occurs in people who drink little or no alcohol. Affecting 2 to 5 percent of Americans, it can lead to permanent liver damage.
"The data we're collecting on patients in the NASH Consortium is rigorously phenotyped, and most of the patients have a medical confirmation of their liver disease and stage," said Dr. Edward Doo, who oversees basic research grants related to liver diseases in NIDDK's Division of Digestive Diseases and Nutrition. "By collecting this data over time and from a population that is frequently sampled, we're able to provide a more accurate depiction of the natural history of fatty liver disease."
Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC)
The Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study is an ongoing prospective study designed to examine risk factors for progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease among adults with CKD, half of whom were diagnosed with diabetes.
Study participants undergo extensive clinical evaluation resulting in a broad array of information, including multiple measures of kidney function, cognitive function, health behaviors, and pulse wave velocity, among many others.
"We established this study about 15 years ago and linked the biological samples to the long-term outcomes of participants," said Dr. John Kusek, who manages epidemiological studies and clinical trials in KUH. "CRIC has a large sample size and is rich in data and events such as end-stage renal disease over a long period."
Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study (DPPOS)
About 15 years ago, results of the Diabetes Prevention Program showed that lifestyle changes of diet and activity, or separately the drug metformin, were effective in reducing or delaying type 2 diabetes in those at high risk. At the DPP's conclusion, all 3,200 participants were offered a modified lifestyle intervention, and the metformin group was offered continued medication.
Researchers followed participants to examine the durability of diabetes prevention as part of the DPP Outcomes Study (DPPOS), building an archive of invaluable data on when the participants were developing type 2 diabetes, said Dr. Barbara Linder, who helps oversee the DPPOS cooperative agreements from NIDDK's Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology, and Metabolic Diseases.
"Outside the study, many people's type 2 diabetes may not be diagnosed for 5-10 years after they develop the disease," Linder said. "With the DPPOS cohort, researchers have access to data from a study that can date the onset of type 2 diabetes to within six months."
Indo-U.S. diabetes research collaboration celebrates progress

Celebrating Indo-U.S. diabetes research are (from left) Dr. Andrew Bremer, program director, Division of Diabetes and Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases (DEM); Dr. Eleanor Hoff, health science policy analyst; ICMR Director General Dr. Soumya Swaminathan; NIDDK Director Dr. Griffin Rodgers; and DEM Director Dr. Judith Fradkin. Not pictured: NIDDK Deputy Director Dr. Gregory Germino.
NIDDK Director Dr. Griffin P. Rodgers and staff met with Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, secretary of the Department of Health Research and Director General of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), in April to discuss joint accomplishments and future opportunities in diabetes research under an agreement signed by the United States and India in 2012.
Both the United States and India face enormous public health challenges from diabetes and its devastating health complications, including eye, kidney, heart, and nerve disease. According to the International Diabetes Federation, an estimated 29 million U.S. adults and 69 million Indian adults have diabetes—about 11 and 9 percent of the respective populations.
"Collaboration between the two countries provides unique opportunities to delve into areas still not fully understood, such as the influence of genetics, ethnicity, environment and other factors on development of diabetes and its complications," said Rodgers. "It also enables the two nations to leverage complementary strengths and resources in studies that could lead to improved health for people with or at risk for diabetes—including the growing population of people of South Asian ancestry within the United States."
Under the agreement, the NIDDK and ICMR have identified and tackled questions of scientific and public health interest in both countries and fostered cooperation between the diabetes research communities they support. A key accomplishment discussed at the April meeting is a set of newly minted Indo-U.S. diabetes research partnerships: In March, teams of U.S. and Indian scientists received awards from the NIDDK and ICMR, respectively, to collaborate in studies of diabetes in youth, genetics of diabetes in South Asians, and the role of environmental pollutants in diabetes risk. These inaugural awards stem from efforts following a 2013 diabetes research workshop in New Delhi co-led by NIDDK and ICMR.
The NIDDK and ICMR continue to discuss opportunities to pursue in areas of mutual interest, such as the convergence of diabetes and infectious diseases.
"From these promising beginnings, we look forward to continued growth of this international collaboration," said Rodgers.
Artificial pancreas moves closer to viability
By Amy F. Reiter
Imagine sleeping through the night without worry. For the more than a million people with type 1 diabetes and their loved ones, it's a dream that may be on the cusp of reality.
An artificial pancreas replaces manual glucose testing and delivery with a single device that monitors real-time blood glucose levels and provides insulin or a combination of insulin and glucagon automatically. The device can also be monitored remotely by parents or medical staff.
"The studies funded by the NIH/NIDDK have begun with tight supervision of the system performance, starting with pilot studies performed in clinical centers and gradually moving to free-living situations," said Dr. Guillermo Arreaza-Rubín, the project officer for artificial pancreas studies funded by NIDDK's Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases (DEM).
That means trials are moving into the real world – homes, camps and even a ski slope, where researchers are testing participants to understand how the device works during exercise.
The studies are also moving into more diverse populations—infants, older adults, pregnant women, people with type 2 diabetes—and testing in a range of conditions, including through puberty and after exercise, to learn about how individuals are likely to react to the devices and vice versa. They're also testing what type of device might be best for whom, with insulin-only and bihormonal (insulin and glucagon) systems in development.
At a two-day workshop in July, representatives from NIH, FDA, JDRF, Helmsley Trust, Diabetes Technology Society, academia and others came together to discuss what advances were happening and what needed to happen to move the artificial pancreas from a great idea to a device that is not only safe and effective, but accessible and affordable.
It was the fourth such workshop, and only three years after the last one, the field has emerged leaps ahead. "Things have moved so fast, it's really exciting," said Dr. Bruce Buckingham of Stanford University, an NIDDK grantee and presenter at the meeting.
"We have seen remarkable progress with this new treatment approach," said DEM Director Dr. Judith Fradkin. "These studies have shown very positive results thus far for improving management of type 1 diabetes with less hypoglycemia and more time spent at optimal glucose levels."
"The evidence shows that the devices can be even safer than the current standards of care regarding insulin delivery," Arreaza-Rubín said.
Over the next few years, the field will work toward developing a device ready for FDA approval and public use. Arreaza-Rubín envisions the first platforms will offer different delivery options, such as insulin-only or bihormonal, or differing levels of automation depending on the user. As the technology matures, its algorithms, functions, user-friendliness and automation options should evolve as well, he said.
To many with type 1, the artificial pancreas can't come soon enough.
Alecia Wesner, a type 1 diabetes patient representative at the workshop and veteran of two artificial pancreas trials, described the joy of getting to sleep through the night with "perfect blood sugars."
She also expressed sadness over the end of the trial and having to return the device. "I didn't want to give it back!"
Getting to know: Dr. Michael Flessner
Michael Flessner, M.D., Ph.D., is a program director in the NIDDK Division of Kidney, Urologic, and Hematologic Diseases. He oversees the Kidney Inflammation and Inflammatory Diseases program and is a project scientist for the NIH Common Fund's Microphysiological Systems program, also known as the tissue chip project. Flessner recently spoke with January Payne about his diverse career.
Why did you decide to become a nephrologist?
When I began medical school at the University of Maryland at 33 years old, I already had had an 11-year career as a U.S. Coast Guard Officer, including a tour in Vietnam. I'd also received my Ph.D. in chemical engineering, through which I studied a new drug treatment for ovarian cancer. During my residency, my experiences in oncology made it clear I liked to remove poisons from people as is done during dialysis for kidney failure, so I chose to pursue nephrology.
What are you most proud of in your work since coming to NIH?
I have a number of different consortia that I'm keeping track of or trying to motivate, and most have been successful in recruiting participants. But I'm most proud of working with individual investigators. I always try to be responsive to individual applicants as well as consortia members. When I was an NIH-funded investigator for 18 years, I had a number of different grants—so I understand grantees' perspectives, problems and frustrations. I try to work with them to improve their situations.
What advice would you give someone interested in pursuing a career in research?
I would ask them to think seriously about what they'd like to do. Are they interested in patient-oriented research or basic research? If they want to do basic research—just as I did when I started out—they need to spend three to five years in a good basic lab. On the clinical side, they should try to get into a system that fosters clinical research. They should aim to work for an experienced mentor who knows how to collaborate with patients and design clinical trials.
With either route, the way you prepare for a successful career is by working hard and spending time with a good mentor: someone who is there for you, the patients and the laboratory.
What is your hope for the next decade of research in your area?
I hope the Kidney Precision Medicine Project really takes off. I hope that we'll have the opportunity to study kidney biopsies from a great variety of participants, that investigators process that tissue containing molecular signatures to be traced to whatever disease the patients have, and that these results produce targets to develop new therapies.
Generally, I'd like to see a continued push toward chronic kidney disease (CKD) prevention, rather than having to treat patients in later stages. We are trying to look at people with early-stage CKD so that we can understand it before it slowly but totally destroys the kidneys. CKD takes a big toll because it influences all systems, including the cardiovascular system and the brain. If preventing CKD from progressing to later stages becomes more of a research focus in the next 10 years, I think we could help alleviate a tremendous health and economic burden for the American people.
New progress report on the Special Diabetes Program available
A new report highlighting progress achieved by the Special Statutory Funding Program for Type 1 Diabetes Research is available. The report highlights exciting achievements made in type 1 diabetes research and improvements in the health and lives of people with the disease. Research supported by the Special Funding Program has led to new therapies for diabetic eye disease, novel strategies to replace lost beta cells, and innovative devices for blood glucose management, among other advances. The report describes these and other pioneering discoveries, both emerging and expected to emerge from this unique funding program.
Ongoing since 1998, the Special Funding Program is an appropriation from Congress. Research goals supported by this program include identifying the causes of the type 1 diabetes as a step toward developing prevention and treatment strategies, finding therapies for the disease and its complications, and developing technologies for management such as the artificial pancreas.

Three NIDDK-funded researchers received the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). PECASE is the highest honor given by the United States government to scientists and engineers in the early stages of their research careers. From left, Dr. Camilla Forsberg, Dr. Kay Tye, NIDDK Deputy Director Dr. Gregory Germino and Dr. David Pagliarini commemorate the occasion.
"These scientists exemplify the high caliber of research and innovation that are the hallmarks of the NIDDK grant program, and we're looking forward to many more years of accomplishments from them," Germino said.
Forsberg is the co-director of the Institute for the Biology of Stem Cells and a professor of biomolecular engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Her research examines hematopoietic stem cells, which give rise to all other blood cells.
Tye is an assistant professor at the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory, Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her research explores the brain activity involved in unhealthy eating choices and habits.
Pagliarini is director of metabolism at the Morgridge Institute for Research and an associate professor of biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research focuses on the types of dysfunction of mitochondria that can contribute to diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cancer and heart disease.
NIDDK staff briefs Congressional staff on type 1 diabetes research
On June 8, NIDDK Director Dr. Griffin P. Rodgers and Dr. Judith Fradkin, director of the NIDDK Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology, and Metabolic Diseases, briefed Congressional staff on progress in type 1 diabetes research. At the request of the Senate Diabetes Caucus, Rodgers described how the Special Statutory Funding Program for Type 1 Diabetes Research, a program administered by NIDDK, supports research in this area, including to identify the genetic and environmental causes of type 1 diabetes, to prevent the disease, to develop better therapies and management tools, and to prevent and treat the complications of type 1 diabetes.
Fradkin discussed examples of progress such as headway by The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study; improved methods to assess disease risk; and promising advances in islet transplantation, a potential treatment for people with difficult-to-control type 1 diabetes.
More about the Special Diabetes Program, including additional research advances, can be found in the new Progress Report (see related news item), which was released at the briefing. Special Diabetes Program grantees Dr. Neil Bressler and Dr. Edward Damiano also presented exciting results in treatment of diabetic eye disease and in artificial pancreas development, respectively.
Diabetes portal adds data, more powerful search tools

NIDDK Deputy Division Director Dr. Phillip Smith, NIDDK Director Dr. Griffin P. Rodgers, and staff from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard—part of the consortium developing the portal—stand at the portal exhibit at the 2016 American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions.
The AMP Type 2 Diabetes Knowledge Portal online discovery engine has expanded data and search capabilities to quicken the pace of scientific advancement. A product of NIH's Accelerating Medicines Partnership (AMP) for type 2 diabetes, the portal – which opened in 2015 – enables user-friendly exploration of international networks of human genetic information linked to diabetes.
"Data from more than 100,000 DNA samples—culled from research supported by NIH and elsewhere—are now at people's fingertips," said Dr. Philip Smith, deputy director of NIDDK's Division of Diabetes, Endocrinology, and Metabolic Diseases. "Our portal unites the scientific community around a desire to learn how and why people develop type 2 diabetes and its complications."
Using a Google account, anyone can now search for information by gene, genetic variant and region, and access summaries of genetic variants. Users can also run customized genetic analyses using versatile tools. Individual data remains confidential.
"The strength of this resource depends on community participation, so I encourage folks to submit data, comments and other materials," said NIDDK Director Dr. Griffin P. Rodgers.
The portal is already facilitating discoveries that are accelerating understanding of how a person's genetic background contributes to diabetes risk. Now including data from European collaborators, administrators continue to expand the network to include more national and international content. The portal is also available in Spanish.
"Universal access to genetic information is sparking novel insight into diabetes, potentially leading to advances in therapies and treatments," said Smith. "We look forward to the possibilities."

Flyswatter likely caused some of captive boy's injuries, medical expert says at trial
ELDORA, Ia. — The injuries prosecutors say an 8-year-old boy sustained at the hands of his father and a woman who confined the boy in a basement have been detailed in court.
Pediatric nurse practitioner Ann Swisher said Wednesday that one of the U-shaped marks on the boy's buttock was likely the result of him being spanked by a flyswatter.
Prosecutors wrapped up their case against 40-year-old Traci Tyler on Wednesday. The defense didn't call any witnesses. Both sides will submit written briefs before the judge rules, likely sometime in March.
"Her specific intent was to break this kid," said Assistant Iowa Attorney General Laura Roan.
Swisher said during the bench trial that the other marks she observed on the boy were more difficult to identify because they were healing.
Prosecutors say Tyler and Alex Shadlow locked the boy in their home, in a space under the basement stairs, for at least nine hours a day in the summer of 2017. The two are both charged with kidnapping.
The boy told authorities he was required to sleep on concrete and use a tin cup for a toilet. Food was also withheld at times.
Prosecutors say Tyler also urged her dog to attack the boy, which left scars on his back and limbs.
School officials reported their concerns after the boy described his life at the home in Ackley.
One of Tyler's attorneys, Ted Fisher, said she shouldn't be charged with a crime.
"We're not suggesting that putting a kid under the stair enclosure is good parenting ... but parents do have the right to inflict corporal punishment," Fisher said.
Shadlow's trial will start later.

However, given that he knew these shows first went out on Fridays and that there was a time lapse between recording and TX, I think it far more likely that he recorded it early on in the week, maybe Monday 22nd, for TX on the Friday: he would not bother telling his listeners in Germany of a gig that would already have been and gone!"


A while ago, I held one of the instances of my recurring open course in personal productivity in Malmö in the Southernmost part of Sweden. One of the participants was Danish expert on self-led work Sanina Kürstein from Sensio.
She had found a solution to the need to as smoothly and quickly as possible, sift out the essentials from a recent meeting. Where I have solved the same problem with the meeting block "Like a charm!", she has found a possibly more aesthetic solution.
When she is in a meeting, she takes notes with several differently colored filt tep pens, where the colors represent the type of information that is written. Call it "tag:ing" if you want.
Green is for the title, pink for ideas, yellow for tools, light blue for exercises, brown for quotes et c.
On an adhesive label on the pen case, she as written a legend in order to make the meaning of each color clear.
Isn't it a tasteful solution? I have not tried it myself, but I imagine that the notes are both beautiful, colorful and easy to interpret. More so than when you write "monochromatically".
How do you do to quickly and easily sift the essence out of your meeting notes?

            "0" : {
              "name" : "item1",
            }
          }
        }
}

I tried with this code:
removeItem: function (item, category) {
        db.ref('items').child(category1).child('item').child(item['.key']).remove()
      },

Anybody see what i missing?

A: Try doing something like this:
removeItem: function (category, itemId) {
        db.ref('items').child(category).child('item').child(itemId).remove()
      }

Considering: category is "category1" and itemId is "1".
So, the function will be called as: removeItem("category1", "1") // to delete "item2"


Before I came to treatment, my life was on the fringe. I was on the verge of losing everything that I worked so hard for. My car had just broken down, and the winter was approaching, and it was getting to be very cold outside. I had gotten a call from someone named Angela (bless her heart) and she asked me if I wanted to go to treatment. I had my parents on my case about my drug habit, and my boss had suggested that maybe I try a 30 day inpatient treatment. Later that day I had guns drawn on me by the local police department, and was trespassed from half of the city. Things were getting even worse. It was that moment that I knew that my life was becoming unmanageable. I thought to myself I should probably do what my boss said and go to treatment to get everyone off of my back, save up some money, and when I got out I could fool everyone again… but then something happened.
I went to Merito House in Redlands, CA, and something inside of me changed. I'm not sure if it was just being sober for an extended period of time (the longest stretch in my adult life), if it was an epiphany I had, or if it was listening to what the staff said, but something inside of me changed. I went from having hundreds of cravings a day, to having fleeting thoughts about using here and there. I'm not cured of my disease, but today I feel confident enough in myself that I can live life sober. And it's thanks to the staff at Merito house. They showed me love when I didn't have any, but they were also firm with me when I needed it. I really can't say enough good things about the staff here. If you're reading this and you're struggling with addiction; make the call! You'll be amazed at what a little bit of willingness, honesty, and open mindedness can get you!
I'd like to say thanks to Miss V, Maggie, Reggie, and Andrew for showing me love and teaching me how to live life. I'd like to say thank you to Skip for believing in me when I didn't believe in myself. I'd like to say thanks to Richard for "checking me" on my thinking errors. Thank you to Dennise for being a wonderful therapist. Also, thank you to Dan'l for helping me stay grounded, and helping me with my medication and detox. I'd like to thank Miss Kim for helping me out when I couldn't sleep, and to all of the administrative staff for setting this wonderful program up and handling things behind the scenes. Special shout out to Raffi and Lorraine for cooking me some of the best meals I've ever had!

Luapula lands US$27m WB solar project
BUUMBA CHIMBULU writes
ABOUT US$27 million private capital has been mobilised by the World Bank to set up a scaling solar energy project in west Lunga and Ngonye area in Luapula province.
The bank is constructing a 75.7 MW generation capacity of energy in the two areas.
According to the World Bank profile projects for Zambia, there are two scaling solar projects in Zambia sponsored by Neon and Enel Green Power.
Under these projects, the bank said, the sponsors were implementing a 47.5 MW for West Lunga and 28.2 MW for Ngonye.
The bank indicated that construction of the two projects was expected to be completed by September.
"Through the scaling solar initiative, Zambia was able to achieve some of the lowers electricity tariffs ever witnesses for a solar PV project in Sub-Saharan Africa to date.
"As part of Government's plans to procure 600 megawatts of solar PV capacity, a further round of scaling solar is under preparation for at least 200 megawatts of capacity, provided the government implements a clear roadmap to improve the sector's financial situation," said the bank.
Zambia, the bank said, needed to diversify its electricity generation resources to prepare for climate variability.
The bank isaid that the dominance of hydropower generation as the country's main source of electricity made it vulnerable to hydrology and climate variation.
It said this was evident over the period 2014 to 2016 when the country experienced electricity shortages on account of lower than expected rainfall.
"Due to its geographical position and relatively high solar irradiation through much of the year, Zambia has substantial potential for integrating solar energy into its electricity generation mix," said the bank.

Three-hundred-sixty-five days ago. That was the last time that Sarah and I went "out, out" (the last time we went out to a bar, stayed out late and had a carefree, couple night). We were out a year ago today, celebrating the recently announced pregnancy of Katie, wife of one of my best friends, Mike.
We ate at Dewey's Pizza in Kirkwood and then walked over to some hole-in-the-wall bar and sat outside. We had a few drinks, but not too many. We didn't want Katie, the only one who couldn't drink, to feel left out.
Afterward, we made the long trek home and went to bed. In the middle of the night, Molly (beloved/hated goldendoodle) started barking. That's what she does this time of year, thanks to St. Charles County being a fireworks hotbed. Anyway, it was hot in the house, Molly was barking and Sarah was crabbing at me, so I got up in the middle of the night. I let the dog out, then slept on the couch.
I was awoken early that next morning, July 1, by Sarah, who shoved one of those over-the-counter pregnancy test sticks in front of my startled, tired face. She was pregnant! Our lives would never be the same. And now we're here, a year later, with a whole new outlook on life. A life we're sharing with our HUGE, but adorable nearly 4-month-old boy.
