If the lure of the sea has any kind of hold on you at all, you'll want to make a special stop at the National Maritime Museum in Haifa, located on the northern end of Mount Carmel. Five thousand years of the maritime history of the Mediterranean basin, the Red Sea and the Nile are covered in the museum's three sprawling floors. If you are interested the relationship between humans and the sea, there is likely something to learn about it at the National Maritime Museum.
Visitors enter on the second floor, where temporary exhibits, such as maritime-themed works of art, are displayed. Nearby is an auditorium where receptions, cultural events and conferences are held, and the library, offices and research rooms, ideal for students and academic researchers, are also on the second floor. The permanent exhibits appear in chronological order and are displayed on the museum's first and third floors.
The museum boasts over 7000 artifacts, including ship models, maritime artifacts such as pottery, coins and seals, along with a large collection of ancient maps and engravings. The permanent exhibits cover a variety of maritime topics, including maritime archeology, art and mythology, ancient anchors, Greco-Roman valuables, fish and dolphins, scientific instruments, storage jars for maritime trade, ports and islands of the Mediterranean, cartography and graphics, shipping innovations, sea battles and maritime construction.
The museum has a special emphasis on Jewish seafaring and modern Israeli shipbuilding ingenuity. Also of particular interest is the Numismatic Collection, which contains over 1000 coins decorated with maritime themes, as well as the Collection of Scientific Instruments, which includes navigational tools from as far back as the 15th century.
The National Maritime Museum is part of a consortium of six museums in Haifa, including the Haifa Museum of Art, the Tikotin Museum of Japanese Art and the Haifa City Museum. Discounted admission is available for visitors who wish to tour more than one museum in the consortium. The museum is fully wheelchair-accessible, with elevator service between floors.
The National Maritime Museum shares some focuses with The Clandestine Immigration and Naval Museum, also located in Haifa. That museum tells the story of the struggle of Holocaust survivors and Jews from around the world to immigrate to pre-State Palestine during the British Mandate years, 1934 to 1948.

Just a few weeks ago, the Legends barbershop's very own master barber, Darius returned to Dusseldorf to run another unique training session.
Collaborating with Barbers Concept, a prestigious company offering all-around support to barbers, a two- day training session was delivered to a group of hairdressers, keen to learn new skills.

On the second day, Darius shared his expert knowledge on how to use equipment effectively and health and safety. Barbering is a form of art, according to many, mastering the cutting techniques is fundamental for any professionals.

The Rebel Sweetheart.: Globe offers Libreng Tawag from 8 countries to the Philippines.
Globe offers Libreng Tawag from 8 countries to the Philippines.
Leading telecommunications company Globe Telecom is offering Libreng Tawag services to the Philippines from eight countries in Asia, Europe, Middle East, and North America in support of overseas Filipino workers who may want to check on their families residing along the path of Typhoon Ruby.
The onslaught of Typhoon Ruby.
"In Italy, free calling services are available at the Globe Stores in Milan and Rome. For Spain, UK, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Singapore and Hong Kong, this public service started yesterday and is being offered through some of the accredited Globe retailers in those countries," said Rizza Maniego-Eala, Globe Senior Vice President for International Business.
"For the United States, Libreng Tawag in the west coast will be available in all branches of Seafood City through our partnership with them while Filipinos in the east coast will be served via web through the subscribed access service of Lunex, the Globe partner servicing the area," Maniego-Eala added.
Libreng Tawag will be available until 11:59pm EST on 08 December 2014.
This is a great idea. I have a couple coworkers from the Philippines and I know this service would help ease their minds a lot. My one coworkers had just come back from the Philippines a few days before this hit.
This is a wonderful thing that they are offering them free service during this season to get in touch with loved ones.
This is so great that they are helping people find out if their families are okay. I have a few friends from the Philippines and I will be sharing this with them.
This is a great service. I hope that there wasn't too much damage.
I wonder who first thought of this. It's a great idea. I'm sure it has already helped a lot of families reconnect, and has comforted many people abroad since they were able to check on their families and make sure they were okay.
I'm glad that there are companies that offer these kind of services. It must be really hard not to know how your family is doing in difficult situations.

Two undocumented immigrants denied vaccine,…
Two undocumented immigrants denied vaccine, prompting reminder that vaccines are for everyone
Rite Aid apologized, rescheduled the women's vaccine appointments in L.A., Orange counties.
UCLA student Sebastian Araujo, far right, with his parents after his mother received a COVID-19 vaccine at a Rite Aid in San Fernando on March 16, 2021. His mother had been originally turned away from a Rite Aid in Mission Hills on March 13 because of her immigration status.
By Roxana Kopetman | rkopetman@scng.com | Orange County Register
PUBLISHED: March 25, 2021 at 3:43 p.m. | UPDATED: March 29, 2021 at 7:33 p.m.
At least two recent incidents in which undocumented women in Southern California were denied COVID-19 vaccinations prompted activists and others on Thursday to point out that such denials run counter to public health advice – and drew an apology from Rite-Aid, the pharmacy chain involved in the denials.
"It is unacceptable, absolutely abhorrent, that any for-profit entity, or any other entity, would deny vaccination to any human being simply because they do not have immigration status," said Angelica Salas, executive director of the L.A.-based Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights.
Rite Aid spokesman Chris Savarese on Thursday described the two cases as "isolated incidents and mistakes" among the approximate 1 million vaccines the pharmacy has given out. In both situations, Rite Aid offered the women new vaccination appointments and both have since received a shot.
"At Rite Aid, our priority is to administer COVID-19 vaccines we are allocated as quickly, safely, and efficiently as possible based on local eligibility criteria. In such an unprecedented rollout, there are going to be mistakes and there will be always areas for providers to improve – we're seeking out those opportunities every day," Savarese said in an e-mailed statement.
Rite Aid employees have now been advised that if customers seeking vaccines do not have identification, they are not to be turned away, Savarese wrote.
But prior to Rite Aid's apologies, issued last week, employees in at least two pharmacies denied people access to the protection because they couldn't provide a social security number.
Sebastian Araujo, a UCLA student, said he initially was thrilled a few weeks ago when he got a call from a Rite Aid pharmacy about extra COVID-19 vaccinations, relieved that his parents would get the critical protection.
But when they arrived at the Mission Hills pharmacy in the San Fernando Valley earlier this month, a pharmacist told his mother that she couldn't get a shot because she's an undocumented immigrant.
"First thing they asked is 'Do you have health insurance'. Then they asked for a Social Security number," said Araujo, a UCLA student. "Me and my parents looked at each other and my dad said 'Isn't that discrimination against undocumented people?'"
Then his mom was told by pharmacy personnel in Spanish, three times: "Undocumented people are not going to get a vaccine."
A few days later, a similar scene played out in Laguna Niguel, where a woman was denied a vaccine at a Rite Aid after she couldn't provide a Social Security number.
Neither woman felt comfortable going back to the original pharmacy that rejected them. Both said they felt humiliated when their immigration status was questioned in front of other customers. Both left the pharmacies crying.

In the San Fernando Valley incident, after Araujo took to social media to publicize what happened to his mother, a Rite Aid representative called to apologize and schedule her another appointment for March 16.
"Then days later we learned it happened again," Araujo said.
On March 18, the Laguna Niguel woman said she also was asked for health insurance information and a Social Security number as proof of identification at a Rite Aid on Crown Valley Parkway. She was told that vaccines were being prioritized for American citizens.
"I felt very embarrassed," said the woman, who has lived in Orange County for 20 years and asked that her name not be used because of her immigration status. "]
While at the pharmacy, the woman called her employer, Yesenia Rager, who spoke with the pharmacist.
"What's going on?" she asked him.
"Your employee doesn't have a Social Security number and we're giving priority to American citizens," Yesenia Rager said she was told.
The woman has been a babysitter for the Rager family for five years, since the birth of their oldest child.
Kevin Rager said he got the same response from different people he spoke with at the pharmacy, so he reached out to the Rite Aid corporate office. Soon, he got an apology and an appointment for the woman, who was eligible for the vaccine as a caregiver.
"It made me wonder, how many other times did they get away with it?"
Vaccines are available to everyone who meets certain eligibility criteria. The newest criteria, announced Thursday, expands the pool of people who are eligible to everyone 50 and older as of April 1, and everyone 16 and older as of April 15. Vaccinations are free and no proof of insurance is required.
On Thursday, representatives from the St. John's Well Child and Family Center in Los Angeles joined numerous labor, immigrant and civic organizations for a vaccination clinic and a press conference outside the office of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor to denounce the two incidents. They encouraged immigrants to register for a COVID-19 vaccine and reminded everyone that vaccinations are available to all, regardless of immigration status.
Community leaders who gathered for the press conference Thursday said they want to see the state take further steps to prioritize essential workers, many of them immigrants and minorities who have little choice but to work and have been among the hardest hit groups affected during the pandemic.
Rudy Espinoza, executive director of Inclusive Action for the City, which supports street vendors, said the undocumented immigrant population is among the most vulnerable. He advised them: "Don't let anybody turn you away."

Brands and colour to be removed from cigarette boxes, but the tobacco industry says it will fight 'tooth and nail'.
TOBACCO COMPANIES IN Australia are to be forced to strip all logos from their cigarette packs and replace them with graphic images.
The Australian government says the move will make Australia the world's toughest country on tobacco advertising. Instead of colourful embossed boxes, cigarette packs will now be a dull olive green, and the brand names will be printed in a small, uniform font. Images of cancer-riddled mouths and sick children will also appear.
Australia's Telegraph newspaper reports that tobacco companies are prepared to fight "tooth and nail" against the proposed legislation. The changes are due to come into effect on 1 January 2012. British American Tobacco Australia, the country's biggest cigarette company, has said that removing the branding from a cigarette packet is like "asking Mc Donald's to remove its golden arches".
We're delighted that Australia are leading the way, and we want to see similar political leadership here. When one country takes the lead on this the others will follow, and it is on its way here.
O'Meara says that plain packaging is a powerful marketing tool, and that a lot of research into "dissuasive marketing" has been carried out. She also feels that cigarette advertising is targeted at young people and has expressed disdain at "a number of companies marketing cigarettes particularly to young women, giving them names like Vogue and using pastel colours. It's almost like a cosmetic addition to your handbag".

Only you can answer that. Try each setting and let us know. You should be able to reach close to 500, maybe higher.


It's a perfectly levelling thing to do, exploring landscape both real, as on a walk, or by completely inventing it - exploring the illusion of landscape made by the tactile breadth of oil paint. The first instance is about absorption, meditation, analysis, the second about realisation, connection, revelation - a show of things more or less understood.
Completely inventing is an obsession but not a chore. It may seem futile to make the works seem as though they have been observed or taken from photographs, but inventing gives the work reason for existence - what is shown exists only in this painted illusion. It's a deeply satisfying thing to do and oil on canvas is still the broadest, most perfect vehicle for this.
'Before Vermeer's Clouds' is unusual in that it contains necessarily a copied element, namely the sky from 'A View of Delft', a work that has fascinated me for thirty years. Originally to be titled 'A Vision of Heaven', my painting had to have the same appearance of stability and unhurried peace as Vermeer's, and incorporate as many elements of the stable or perpetual as could be organised. For me it should be an embodiment of stability but also intrigue.

Objectives of General Education Programme
THEi aims to produce graduates who are not only experts in their specialist professions but flexible with broadly applicable transferrable skills. The General Education (GE) curriculum helps to promote this by having the following major objectives:
To introduce students to the broad perspectives of the Humanities, Sciences, and Social Sciences and their relationship to contemporary issues and the problems and challenges faced by professional practitioners
To cultivate broadly applicable transferrable skills, competencies and values that will contribute to professional success, lifelong learning and whole-person development.
GE Programme Intended Learning Outcomes
Students who complete the GE Programme will be able to:
Demonstrate a capacity for critical thinking, self-reflection, and analysis;
Recognise ethically, socially and globally responsible action;
Engage in self-directed learning;
Demonstrate effective oral and written communication skills;
Engage in creative problem-solving;
Demonstrate interpersonal skills associated with leadership and teamwork; and
Apply the broad principles of the Humanities, Sciences, and Social Sciences to practical problems and contemporary issues.
GE Curriculum
The GE curriculum consists of two parts, core modules and elective modules. In the core part, we adopt a Common Core Curriculum Approach which provides a single, integrated educational experience for all students, with modules that have been specifically created and students taking the same modules in a required sequence.
Within the GE Curriculum are the English and Chinese Language modules to improve students' spoken and written communication skills, and three GE modules whose broad perspectives will be used to examine issues important to society.
Beyond the common core curriculum, students can select elective modules from areas outside their programmes that interest them. This will further broaden their horizons and contribute to the aim of the GE Programme.
(For students who join THEi via Year-1 Entry in AY2019/20 and thereafter.)
Principles of offering General Education Elective (GEE) modules
(For students who joined THEi via Year-1 Entry in AY 2018/19 or earlier AND Year-3/Part-time Entry in AY 2020/21 or earlier)
Students are only allowed to take GEE modules that are outside the realm of their programmes as the goal is to broaden their perspectives and knowledge base. The corollary is that students will not be allowed to take a GEE module in the realm of their programmes, even if the module is offered by other Faculties or the School of General Education and Languages.
Students joining 4-year full-time programmes have to take at least two GEE modules from two different Faculties other than their own / School of General Education and Languages.
Students exiting with a Higher Diploma have to take one GEE module from a Faculty other than their own / School of General Education and Languages.
Year 3 entrants are required to take at least one GEE module from a Faculty other than their own / School of General Education and Languages.
Part-time students sharing same entry requirement with Year-3 entrants are required to take at least one GEE module from a Faculty other than their own / the School of General Education and Languages.
The arrangement for students of Multimedia Technology and Innovation (MTI), Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and Surveying (SU) who take GEE5305 The Art & Science of Film, GEE5308 Web Technology & E-commerce and GEE5309 Housing Policy & Management are as follows: (a) For students who joined THEi in AY2018/19, AY2019/20 and AY2020/21, these three GEE modules will be counted as delivered by FDE; (b) For students who joined THEi in AY2017/18 or earlier, these modules will be counted as delivered by FST.
(For Year 1 students who join THEi in AY 2019/20 and thereafter)
The GE curriculum of THEi has been revised for all Year 1 students who join THEi in AY 2019/20 and thereafter. Under the new GEE curriculum, all GEE modules are categorised under six themes, namely:
Arts, Cultures & World Views
Sustainability, Development & Sciences
Innovation, Management & Entrepreneurship
To fulfil the graduation requirements of the GEE modules, students are required to select GEE modules from at least two themes out of the six themes. Please refer to Attachment 8 - Themes for GEE Modules for more details.
(Applicable to ALL students)
Students who have exempted from GEC4101 Chinese 1 and GEC5102 Chinese 2 are required to take two extra GEE modules to fulfil the graduation requirement.

Park(ing) Day LA is Friday, 1941 Gas Station Going For Landmarking
By Adrian Glick Kudler Sep 13, 2011, 9:08pm PDT
LOS ANGELES: Grab a handful of quarters and a potted plant--Park(ing) Day LA is back on Friday. Across the city, people will be taking parking spots and turning them into mini-parks. Here's a map of planned parks, but let us know about yours and we'll do our best to stop by and check it out. [Curbed Inbox]
LOS ANGELES: Tomorrow the City Council is scheduled to discuss landmark status for a currently-vacant, Streamline Moderne-style Texaco station on Beverly Blvd. at Hobart. If it's approved, it'll be the fourth pre-World War II gas station in LA to become a historic-cultural monument. According to the HCM application, Whittier's Texaco Station was built in 1941 by former roughneck Charles Whittier. It includes two structures--a canopied station office and a "lubrication building"--both with flat roofs and three stripes around their tops, and "Two free-standing fluorescent lighting fixtures, original to the station?located at the corners of the lot."

An essay by film historian John DiLeo about the film The Iron Giant (1999). Excerpted from DiLeo's book, SCREEN SAVERS: 40 Remarkable Movies Awaiting Rediscovery (2008) from Hansen Publishing Group.
John DiLeo's first book was And You Thought You Knew Classic Movies! (St. Martin's, 1999), hailed by Pauline Kael as "the smartest movie quiz book I've ever seen." His second book was 100 Great Film Performances You Should Remember—But Probably Don't (Limelight Editions, 2002), which Adolph Green called "a valuable and touching work." TCM host Robert Osborne said, in the Hollywood Reporter, that the book "delightfully throws the spotlight on some remarkable film work," and the Washington Post's reaction was, "Not only is this helpful criticism, but 100 Great Film Performances can serve as balm for anyone who has ever been disgruntled by the Academy's choices on Oscar night." Turner Classic Movies devoted a night of prime-time programming to films featured in John's third book, Screen Savers: 40 Remarkable Movies Awaiting Rediscovery (Hansen Publishing Group, 2007). His fourth film book, Tennessee Williams and Company: His Essential Screen Actors (Hansen Publishing Group, 2010), led to his presentations and panels at the Tennessee Williams festivals in Provincetown and New Orleans. Essays by him appear in two anthologies, City Secrets Movies: The Ultimate Insider's Guide (2009) and City Secrets Books: The Essential Insider's Guide (2009). John has been a contributing book reviewer for the Washington Post's Book World and currently writes DVD and film-book reviews for multiple publications. He frequently hosts classic-film series, appears on radio programs, lectures on cruise ships, conducts film-history seminars, and has been an annual participant in the Black Bear Film Festival (Milford, PA) where he interviewed Farley Granger (2005), Arlene Dahl (2006), and Marge Champion (2010) on the festival's stage. His website is johndileo.com and his blog is screensaversmovies.com. Born in 1961 in Brooklyn, John was raised on Long Island and graduated from Ithaca College in 1982 with a B.F.A. After 27 years together, he married partner Earl McCarroll in 2009 in MA.

Boston, a City out of the Ordinary
United States / Boston
Boston, an Extraordinary City
Discover a city unlike any other, full of history and at the same time a place where art and renewal are part of daily life. Welcome to Boston!
You + Person People likes this likes this
This is the former old colony whose people helped to create a new country by tossing tea to the ocean. Boston's historical legacy is by itself a reason to visit, but there is also an attractive seaside area, great nightlife with plenty of bars and arts events, and a young, lively and multicultural population, energised by the presence of some of the world's leading universities.
Here a country was born
Docked near Congress Street bridge is the Boston Tea Party Ship, a replica of the merchant vessel that was the stage for a rebellion in 1773 — the famous "Tea Party" that would later lead to the independence of the United States of America. This is just a small example of how the city's history is present on its streets, through many monuments and locations that evoke the past and express the local identity. On Boston Common and at King's Chapel we see signs of the presence of the first settlers that arrived here during the 17th Century. The old building of the Boston Latin School — the United States' first public school — is proof of Boston's enduring intimate relationship with education, science and knowledge. Right at the city centre, amidst crowded streets and modern skyscrapers, we find one of the country's most important historical buildings: the Old State House, a former courthouse where the independence of the United States was proclaimed in 1776. All of these places are part of the Freedom Trail — an official walking tour through the places and monuments that tell us the history of this city.
Outdoors... and on the high seas
There are many green areas to enjoy, such as the aforementioned Boston Common, the Charles River Esplanade, a public park in the Back Bay area with a view to Massachusetts Bay, or the Public Garden, whose highlights include several fountains, statues and a monument paying tribute to George Washington, the country's first President. This attraction for the outdoors is also connected to the Bostonians' deeply entrenched sports fanaticism, which we can witness when on baseball, basketball and ice hockey games. If you come here at the right time, you might be swallowed by huge crowds cheering athletes competing at the Boston Marathon, incidentally the USA's oldest.
During October, all eyes are set on the Head Of The Charles Regatta, a rowing head race that attracts thousands of athletes. It is an example of Boston's condition as a coastal city with a symbiotic relationship with the sea. In the downtown restaurants you can actually taste this connection, since the local cuisine relies heavily on fish. You can also meet several creatures of the sea at the New England Aquarium and if this doesn't satisfy your interest in the ocean, you can always contact a tourism operator, get on a boat and go whale-watching on the North Atlantic Ocean!
Science, Knowledge and Art
Boston is also famous for its academic and innovative side. After all, this is the home of the renowned Harvard University, known as an elite institution from which several US Presidents graduated. Its lovely campus buildings and local art museums are definitely worth a visit. You might also want to attend a science conference at the world-famous M.I.T. (Massasuchets Institute of Technology), alma mater of several Nobel Prize winning scientists. Or perhaps you wish to meet the new generation of jazz musicians and watch a student recital at the Berklee College of Music, where some of the best American musicians learned their skills.
These are just the best known schools and universities in a city with a great concentration of brilliant minds. The result is a lively, vibrant city with a strong technology and innovation industry and research centres, and with a very young, constantly changing population. Boston is teeming with cultural activities, arts, night life and entertainment.
Those who appreciate the visual arts can take a peek at the collections of the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum or the Museum of Fine Arts. The South End neighbourhood artists community gathers in several art galleries and around the Boston Center for the Arts. Boston is also home to charming architecture: colonial buildings such as Paul Revere's House, historical and quaint neighbourhoods such as North End and its "Little Italy", religious buildings such as Trinity Church, or fascinating places like the Boston Public Library, an institution that, together with local universities, has helped to forged this city's reputation as the "Athens of America".
Boston by Night!
But Boston's environment also generated an interesting dynamics for performance arts and show business. Besides the Berklee music school, there are several theatres and performance venues where one can be surprised by the creativity of both international and local artists (often young students who want to experiment and dazzle the world). You can enjoy musicals and theatre plays at the area known as Theater District, where many historic local venues are located — this is where you find the Wang Theatre, one of the city's main venues. Classical music lovers can head to the Boston Opera House or to the Tanglewood Music Center. Those who prefer jazz, rock or other kinds of popular music should look for what they want at one of Downtown Boston' many bars or go directly to music venues such as the Lizard Lounge (located in the Cambridge area) or the Paradise Rock Club (in the Allston neighbourhood). The Hatch Memorial Shell is also worth a visit — it is an open air auditorium where Summer nights are often filled with the sounds of classical music.
Boston's nightlife is full of new and refreshing experiences. The local vibe is very multicultural, partly because of the different origins of the students who live here, and a great American city is never complete without its very own Chinatown and Little Italy! Begin your evening with a traditional or exotic dinner in one of the restaurants at the Jamaica Plain neighbourhood and finish it off with some dancing in one of many Downtown clubs and discos.
Finally, it must be pointed out that even though Boston's population has a lot of variety, the local culture is strongly influenced by Irish communities. If you happen to be in town during St. Patrick's Day look for the nearest Irish pub (there are several of these all around Boston) and you will realise that dancing and drinking beer while wearing a green wig is a perfectly natural thing to do!

One Major Effect of Vitamin D on Your Bladder, New Study Says
This could be a game-changer if you too frequently feel the need to go.
By Krissy Gasbarre
An overactive bladder can feel both embarrassing and like a major nuisance—but if you suffer from this condition, you're not alone. The American Urological Association states 33 million Americans experience an overactive bladder. Currently, there are a lot of cutting-edge medications to treat this… but if you'd prefer to try making a small shift to your daily routine rather than start on a prescription, an impressive new study suggests one supplement that's already been making headlines lately.
For a meta-analysis just published this week, four researchers in Israel who specialize in public health and obstetrics/gynecology performed a review of past studies, which all occurred as recently as August 2020. For their review, the researchers sought research that had been performed related to overactive bladder, urinary incontinence, pelvic floor disorders, and lower urinary tract symptoms.
RELATED: The One Vitamin Doctors Are Urging Everyone To Take Right Now
Of the studies they reviewed, six out of seven had concluded that the onset and severity of urinary incontinence was significantly linked with Vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency.
Additionally, two other randomized controlled trials had found that Vitamin D can be effective at treating urinary incontinence.
Overall, this means that two-thirds of the studies the researchers looked back at showed a correlation between sufficient Vitamin D intake and good urinary health.
You may already be aware that Vitamin D has been shown to deliver a range of benefits, like strengthening bones, supporting immunity, and even boosting your mood. So how might it impact the bladder?
The researchers explain that the bladder detrusor muscle, which contracts to allow urine out of the bladder, contains Vitamin D receptors. In essence, Vitamin D may help strengthen some muscles in and around the pelvic floor, including the bladder.
But Vitamin D may do more than just address annoying symptoms, like running to the bathroom more often than you'd like. In fact, a 2019 study found that low Vitamin D levels were actually associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer.
If you've got that Vitamin D on hand, this might be a good reminder to make sure you're taking it.

Leading Finnish mobile operator TeliaSonera Finland has successfully conducted the world's first EDGE-WCDMA packet data handover using Nokia equipment and terminals in a commercial network. Now TeliaSonera Finland's customers can enjoy seamless continuation of 3G services while roaming between EDGE and WCDMA networks.
Handovers between WCDMA to GSM/GPRS/EDGE are crucial to quality end user services experience, and are key to the success of the smooth introduction of WCDMA.
"We are encouraged by the success of this packet data EDGE-WCDMA handover with Nokia. This will mean our customers can enjoy seamless 3G services as EDGE bridges the gap between WCDMA and GPRS performance in urban and rural areas," says Pasi Mehtonen, Vice President, Products and Services, TeliaSonera Finland.
"As the world leader in EDGE technology we are delighted with the success of this packet data handover which marks another important milestone in the smooth evolution of GSM networks to 3G," says Jan Lindgren, Vice President, TeliaSonera Business Team, Networks, Nokia.
"It is significant that these connections were carried out in a commercial GSM/EDGE network that has been upgraded to support handovers from WCDMA. This clearly demonstrates that EDGE enables seemless coverage for 3G service delivery that is complementary with WCDMA," he adds.
Handovers in the direction of WCDMA to EDGE and vice versa - as Nokia and TeliaSonera Finland have now demonstrated - are especially important in the initial phases of commercial WCDMA deployment since WCDMA coverage will, in the early phases, not be as ubiquitous as GSM/EDGE service.
