Airtel has now teamed up with Motorola and is currently providing bundling offers with the new Moto X4. This offer comes with a validity of 6 months. This plan offers 15 GB data usage every month for these consecutive months, totalling to 90 GB in 6 months.
There is a procedure though, to avail the offer on your new moto x4. After purchasing the smartphone, you need to insert an active Airtel sim card into the device. After insertion, you need to go to my Airtel app. There you need to log in with the number you have inserted into the device. There you will see an option saying 'Claim Now'. You need to click on that and after that 15 GB data per month plan will be activated. This plan is valid until 31st May 2018.
Both prepaid and postpaid customers can avail this offer. But there are changes for each of these two connections.
The scenario is different for Airtel's postpaid customers though. To get the additional 15 GB data benefits, you need to be on any of the Airtel's Rs 499 or above Airtel myplan infinity plan. Sadly though, the Rs 399 Airtel myPlan Infinity plan is not valid for this offer.
Even though the plans are different, the procedure to claim the additional 15 GB 4G/3G/2G data is same for both prepaid and postpaid Airtel customers. However, there is an advantage of Airtel's postpaid customers. They can carry forward the unused 15GB or less additional data on to the next month. This additional data benefit will come to an end if the Sim card is taken out of the Moto X4.
Note: This offer is valid only for individually paid customers, and strictly not for the corporate users.

Gboard On iOS To Get Morse Code Typing Feature, Says Google
For the people who are interested in trying out new things, and for the ones who think they type too slowly, here is some good news. In an attempt to increase the reach of the Morse code support of the Gboard, Google has launched a keyboard that is accessibility-focused; the iOS Gboard, which is expected to make communication simpler with as less motion as possible, for the iPad and iPhone users. The company has already launched a beta version of the same for the Android users. Along with the launch for iOS, the Android version is going to get an upgrade as well; with many improvements.
Basically, all the letters on the keyboard are replaced with two big dash and dot buttons. The Morse codes for the words would also be suggested while typing. This is arguably one of the fastest and one of the easiest ways to typing that is available out there. Especially for the people with disabilities, this is totally revolutionary.
Not only that, the company has also created a game called as the 'Morse Typing Trainer game' which is said to teach the users how to use the Morse code, and that too under sixty minutes. The game is available for both, the desktop and the mobile phones, and is expected to attract a large number of users.
Other than adding a Morse code feature, the company is also carrying out the testing of the 'Smart Replies' feature on the Gboard, for the Android version. The company is testing the feature with the apps like Facebook, WhatsApp and others as well. There are already a number of other keyboards available as well have a similar feature where the words are guessed and suggested, making the replies quicker; with less effort put in while typing. Google is working on improving the results of the same.

Asprin – we are all familiar with this drug but it's chemical name has an interesting history.
It used to be called acetylsalicylic acid.
Acetyl comes from Acetum, the Latin for acetic acid (which we know as vinegar or ethanoic acid).
Salycilic is from salix, Latin for the willow tree. The bark of the willow tree used to be chewed to cure headaches as it was rich in salicylic acid.
And the modern name? 2-ethanolyloxybenzenecarboxylic acid!! Much easy to understand but far less interesting! 😀

It's a big thing to take the time, and effort to help people halfway around the world you've never met. But, it's even more amazing when you go meet those you are helping. A group of nine kids from Ventura County spent the last three weeks in Africa, after they gathered hundreds of bikes for those with no other way to travel than by foot.
The "Wheels To Africa" program was founded in Maryland, and recently spread to Ventura County. When one of the kids involved with the program moved to Ventura County, it led to the startup of the effort on the South Coast. Some 400 bikes were gathered in the county for the campaign.
The Ventura County kids visited villages, orphanages and schools. They took along school supplies and sports gear to donate to the places they visited, and also helped with English lessons.
The kids also had some unforgettable experiences, like camping on the Serengeti, and meeting members of the Masai tribe.
The bikes, which are the centerpiece of the campaign, can have a huge impact on the lives of the kids receiving them. Some of the youngsters spend two hours a day just walking to school, and two more walking home, so having a bike makes a big difference.

Of course, be aware that some texts are not meant to be entertainment or art--a news report or textbook, for instance, may be neither entertaining or artistic, but may still be important and successful.
Prepare Your Students for Academic Writing 1 Summarizing This writing task is a fundamentally important one, as it will be a useful and necessary technique in many academic writing assignments that ESL students encounter in their studies.
You waste time surfing the Net for the right essay or an article you can copy, reading unfortunately, this stage is often skipped or looking through the text hopefullycopying, rearranging, etc.
Writing papers is not about talent.
Identify the purpose of the writing. Instead, take a systematic, analytical approach to the text. This response can be positive, negative or a both. Therefore, it is often helpful to introduce these skills together, allowing students to compare and contrast the characteristics of each.
The introduction-main body-conclusion structure is not sufficient to give you a hint about the content of an essay. You need to edit your paper multiple times to be a successful writer.
Justifying and discussing all opinions and statements. In short, contextualization is the ability to state events in a more significant context. As students prepare to undertake university coursework, they need to be prepared to respond to reading material responsibly and effectively, and the summary response essay is excellent way to help them begin to learn how to do so.
I would then add the example from my own life of the time I saw a tattoo of a face with "in remembrance" along with name and dates Body Paragraph Three: Develop your ideas by adding examples, quotations, and details to your paragraphs.

The 2014 Disneyland 5K, a First for a runDisney Veteran
|September 4, 2014
|Posted by Running at Disney under Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend, Guest Posts, Race Recaps
I'm so excited to begin coverage of the 2014 Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend!! To kick things off, Minnie (yes that is really here name – how fun!) is here to recap the Disneyland 5K. Minnie is a runDisney veteran, but this was her first time running a 5K. You know why she did it? Well you'll have to read on to find out!
My name is Minnie Paule and I have been doing runDisney races since January 2013. Tinker Bell was my first half marathon and runDisney race. Since then, I have participated in the 2013 Disneyland Half, 2014 Glass Slipper Challenge, 2014 Tinker Bell Half and now the 2014 Dumbo Double Dare.
This past weekend was my first runDisney 5K and the first time I signed up for all three races. I decided to do the 5K after the medals were released. Registration was already sold out for the 5K. I had to find a way to register for that race to get that medal! Luckily, I found an organization called TSA (Tourette Syndrome Association) that was selling bibs and asking for a fundraising minimum of $200. At the time I registered with TSA my awareness of what the organization and disorder was about was limited. I am now educated and proud that I chose this organization to associate myself with. It was truly an honor to race for those dealing and living with Tourette Syndrome. I even got to meet Dash Mihok from the Showtime hit series Roy Donovan at the Thank You Luncheon for TSA.
The night before the race, I laid out my costume. I was pink Minnie Mouse to match my pink runDisney New Balance shoes. I also prepared my fuel belt, drink and breakfast. I was taught to "dress the chair" so that you aren't pressured and rushed the morning of race day. (Sarah's Note: Great tip!!!)
I was assigned to corral C and waited for our corral to move up to the start line. In the meantime the race announcers, Rudy Novotny and Carissa Bealert entertained the crowd.
My sister, Mildred and I were doing the race together. We are walkers but we jog to get around bottle necks. We keep a 14 – 16 min mile pace. Here is my selfie at the mile 1 marker.
A 5K is the best time to take pics with all the characters and landmarks in the parks!
Receiving that beautiful medal at the end makes the race all worth it!
Overall, the race was not too difficult but the humidity and heat made it a little uncomfortable but doable. Definitely need to hydrate and stay focused on your breathing and form. Other than that, Have fun, smile and enjoy the experience!
Minnie Paule has been a runner since October 2012 beginning with the Nike Women's Half Marathon in San Francisco as a member of Team in Training (TNT). She continues run for TNT in support of her best friend's mother who is battling her third bout with lymphoma. Besides running to raise funds, Minnie really runs for the bling and has in total run 8 half marathons, 1 full marathon, several 10Ks and a couple 5Ks.

Yoga for Runners Recap!
|September 3, 2014
|Posted by Running at Disney under Yoga for Runners
If you read Danielle's blog Live, Run, Grow, you will know that she has A LOT going on right now! New job, moving to a new state, the Disneyland Half Marathon…all super exciting! Because of all this, she is taking the month off from her Yoga for Runners series, so I thought it would be a good time to do a quick recap of all of the great yoga tips she has put together in the last few months. You can click on the link to each topic to read the full post.
Warm Up & Cool Down Routines
A lot of us (myself included!) do not take enough time to do warm up and cool down stretches, however they are key to staying injury free.
Legs Up the Wall
One of my all time favorite recovery poses (thanks to Danielle) that helps recirculate fluids through those tired legs.
Love Thy Feet
Since your feet are pretty important when it comes to running, you want to take care of them so you can keep running pain free!
Happy Hips
Hip stability and flexibility are key to efficient and safe running. Mobility in this area will help you to increase speed and effectiveness of your runs.
Hotel Room Yoga
With the beginning of runDisney race season, many of us will be staying in hotels over those race weekends. But even with limited space, you can get some great stretches in so you perform at your peak!
Danielle will be back in September with some more great Yoga for Runners. Best of luck in all of her new adventures!
If you have any questions regarding any of these poses or incorporating yoga into your routine, feel free to leave a comment below or you can find Danielle at LiveRunGrow.com or on Twitter at @dnardi710.
RAD Recap for August 31, 2014
|August 31, 2014
|Posted by Running at Disney under RAD Recaps
I want to start by congratulating everyone who ran one of the races over Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend!! I've had a blast following along and have some great guest recaps coming up in the next few weeks, including one from Jenny who completed her first half marathon and runDisney race…CONGRATS!!
I've spent the past week with my favorite people at one of my favorite places, Disney's Vero Beach Resort. It was relaxing, fun and full of laughs. This is a trip I look forward every year and I am so lucky to get to spend this quality time with my friends…I hope there will always be Days Like This 🙂
Before heading home, B and I spent a night in Walt Disney World at Bay Lake Tower. If you follow me on Instagram, you will have seen all of the fun I had in the Magic Kingdom for a few short hours, followed by dinner at California Grill and Wishes! from the Top of the World. What a great day!
After we returned to Connecticut yesterday afternoon, we stopped by the grand opening of Black Hog Brewing Co. before heading home. Our friends from Caseus in New Haven started this awesome brewery that focuses on craft beer using local ingredients. My favorite was Granola Brown…YUM!
Hard to believe that this weekend is the unofficial end of summer, but there are a lot of fun events coming up in the fall. runDisney races, the Disney Fit Challenge, Epcot International Food & Wine Festival just to name a few! Oh boy! What are you most excited about?
Have a RAD week 🙂

Lewis Hamilton says Arsene Wenger invited him to train with Arsenal
Lewis Hamilton, who said he had supported Arsenal since he was five, admired Arsene Wenger's commitment to the Premier League club over more than two decades.other-sports Updated: Apr 27, 2018 16:01 IST
Arsenal fan Lewis Hamilton has spoken of his admiration for outgoing manager Arsene Wenger and revealed that the Frenchman invited the four-times Formula One world champion to train with the Premier League team.
"I've had the privilege of meeting him a couple of times," the Briton told Sky Sports television at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

"He asked me to go and train with the team, which I have not managed to do yet, but he was always really welcoming and it was cool to meet 'our team's' boss."
Hamilton, who said he had supported Arsenal since he was five, admired Wenger's commitment to the North London club over more than two decades.
"The loyalty which he has shown through all the ups and downs, through outside individuals saying positives and negatives, but to stay true to your values and continue to strive for what you believe in I think has really been awesome," he said.
Wenger is leaving Arsenal at the end of the season, with the club yet to name a replacement.
Hamilton is out of contract with Mercedes at year end but has said that he and the team remain committed to each other although a new deal, expected for months, has yet to be announced.

"I've made it very clear, and they've made it very clear that they want to continue so it's quite an easy thing," he said in Baku.
"I don't... have that personality to say 'I'm definitely going to be with them next year' and then not be with them next year so it is just about finalising and signing off."

Meet at 10:15 am at the Dow's Lake Pavillion. You can park anywhere on the Central Experimental Farm for free. For example if you park at the Neatby Building (960 Carling Ave; there is a parking lot there on Carling, or any street parking around the building), it is a 5 minute walk down Carling Ave to Dow's Lake. Or you can probably find some parking off of Preston Street. And then there is the parking lot (not free) across from Dow's Lake. I believe you can rent skates at the Pavillion if you don't have skates.

Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park Islands makes excellent day trip dives. Much of the diving in the area is a gentle slope with hard coral gardens, sandy bottom and sporadic coral blocks. Several colourful species of nudibranchs, damsels, fusiliers and occasional visits of the whale shark spice up the dives. Encounters with pelagics are infrequent and are usually around submerged reefs.
Named after Malaysia's first Prime Minister who was instrumental in the merger of Sabah with Malaysia, Tunku Abdul Rahman Park is located merely 15 minutes from Kota Kinabalu. The park headquarters located on Pulau Manukan oversees Pulau Gaya, Pulau Sapi, Pulau Mamutik and Pulau Sulug. Of the five islands, Pulau Gaya is the most developed with floating villages. Connected by a sand bar from Pulau Gaya is Pulau Sapi, an ideal snorkeling and diving site.
The largest of the islands is Pulau Gaya, with its rich flora and fauna, sea eagles and reptiles. Beautiful white sandy beaches encompass the shoreline. The most popular beach is at Bulijong Bay, popularity known as "Police Beach". Regular boat and ferry services from mainland make the islands an attractive tourist destination. Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park Islands are ideal for observing macro marine life either in the day or night. Night diving is usually pretty interesting, revealing some mollusks, echinoderms and crustaceans. The shallow, calm sea with depths varying between 15 – 20m make it ideal for novices and scuba training.
Police Bay
Known as Police Bay or Bulijong Bay, this popular dive site is located towards the north of Pulau Gaya. A beautiful white sandy beach provides an excellent spot to relax after the dives around the day. Staghorn corals are predominant at depths from 10 – 20 m and the terrain gradually slopes to a sandy bottom. Densely populated with small reef fishes, wrasses, nudibranchs and stingrays and if you are lucky, you may spot the odd lobster scavenging for food on the sandy terrain.
Clement Reef
Towards the south-western portion of Pulau Gaya near Pulau Sapi is Clement Reef, named after Clement Lee of Borneo Divers who first dived this site. Large table corals, staghorn corals, brain corals and encrusting sponges dominate the reef. Invertebrates often observed are nudibranchs, starfish, cuttlefish and sea cucumbers, plus a mix of colourful tropical fish likes damselfish, wrasses, squirrelfish and pufferfish. Mild currents sweep the reef but it is usually manageable for both novice and advance divers to enjoy diving in this area.
Mid Reef
Popular with most dive operators, mid reef is situated east of Pulau Manukan. The excellent coral reef makes it an ideal spot for snorkeling and scuba diving. Mid Reef as the name suggests, is a submerge reef detached from the island. Several species of hard coral and encrusting sponges make up the reef topography. A feature of this site is the numerous patches of anemones and coral fish. You are likely to see lots of moray eels, stonefish, all sorts of crustaceans plus the cute Panda Clownfish (Amphiprion sp) darting in and out of its host anemone. Towrds the end of the year when the sea is rich with plankton, the world's largest fish, the giant whale shark (Rhincodon Typus), cruises by to feed on the plankton.
Getting There
Sabah is served by several international airlines with direct flights from Singapore, Hong Kong, Manila, Brunei, Seoul, Taipei and Tokyo. It is accessible worldwide via Kuala Lumpur with Malaysia Airlines (MAS), and Air Asia and through Singapore via Singapore Airlines.

The new generation of consoles is supposed to usher in a new dawn of gaming, allowing developers everywhere to capitalize on new hardware to once again push visual and audio boundaries. That hasn't exactly happened yet. Instead we're being treated to slightly prettier versions of games we've already played, and Limbo might join the growing list soon.
Yes, even indie games are primed for a facelift lately. Limbo was a standout title that debuted on the Xbox 360 a while ago. Since then it's made its way onto PC, PlayStation, Mac and even iPhone. Its creepy atmosphere and rather superb puzzles make it a must-have in any collection, and soon you may be able to add it to your growing Xbox One library.
The Korean Rating Board has listed Limbo on the Xbox One, following a supposed filling by Microsoft last week. Believe it or not, a lot of these listings eventually turn out to be true, which means you may be running from silhouette spiders in 1080p very soon.
Played, developers of Limbo, have always maintained a close relationship with Microsoft since the debut of their game. Their next title, titled Inside, is launching first on the Xbox One next year. Re-releasing Limbo could act as a reminder to a lot of people who Playdead really are, considering they haven't exactly made anything as noteworthy since.
I've purchased Limbo on two platforms already, so if there's any truth to the listing then I'll probably be giving it a skip. But if you have yet to dive into the grim world of Limbo and only have an Xbox One on hand, then this may be the HD remaster you've been waiting for. Otherwise, it's fairly cheap (and out now) for PC.

Kulveer Taggar on Nurturing the Entrepreneur Within You
Kulveer Taggar is the co-founder and CEO of Zeus Living, a San Francisco-based company redefining how we live. Zeus provides thoughtfully furnished homes to business travelers for stays of 30+ days. The company leases properties directly from individual owners and transforms the unfurnished spaces into ready-to-be-lived-in homes. Zeus currently manages over 1,500 homes across the metros of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Washington D.C. Kulveer is a serial entrepreneur -- prior to Zeus, Kulveer co-founded and sold Auctomatic, and also co-founded Boso, raising its seed round from Y-Combinator. He is currently an angel investor in Meetings.io (exited), Airhelp, Boom, Cover Financial, Tovala and Rickshaw. Originally from the UK, Kulveer studied at the University of Oxford.
Kulveer Taggar began his entrepreneurial journey in college, exiting a company for $5MM while still a student. Now, as CEO and co-founder of Zeus Living, he's set his sights on capturing the $18 billion corporate housing industry. During a recent interview, the serial entrepreneur - who has since also became an angel investor - described his entrepreneurial journey and shared insights on building an impactful company.
Taggar emphasized the importance of achieving product-market fit at an early stage. "One's focus has to be on making something people love." The advantage early-stage startups have over incumbents is speed, as the core capabilities and operations are defined entirely from zero and grow bottom-up. However, it's imperative to understand that scaling a product/service offering that people don't need can lead to a complete disaster. Tailoring your experience to the customer's needs at a micro-scale, followed by rapid expansion at a macro-scale is, thus, critical for attaining success.
Selecting the right co-founders is another fundamental aspect that one should keep in mind, even before starting a company. Taggar stressed its paramount importance: "Co-founding is more serious than marriage." An ideal leadership team is in sync and complements each other. Further, hiring the first few employees who go on to hire more employees goes a long way to setting the culture and values that the company represents.
Explaining the importance of education in developing entrepreneurship, Taggar views universities as a dense network of smart people where one can find his/her tribe. The required link is already there, making campuses an excellent platform for finding co-founders to start a company. "My alma mater taught me the art of self-learning. It made me realize that I had to take an interdisciplinary approach to solve problems of importance." With the right people, the semi-structured learning environment coupled with university incubation programs can potentially become a solid foundation for building successful companies.
Having a growth mindset is crucial as the journey is a roller-coaster ride with steep ups and downs. Often, entrepreneurs can find themselves in places where progress might seem impossible. However, it's essential to recognize when facing challenges of all difficulties that every human has been gifted with a superpower that helps them to rise to the occasion. "Entrepreneurs are not born; they are made. The next time you think you can't overcome something, you are greatly underestimating yourself." The most significant challenge humans will ever face is limiting themselves with a fixed mindset, i.e., thinking of themselves as having a fixed set of capabilities.
In addition to unicorn companies, there is an emerging class that is rarer when compared to the former. A "phoenix" is a company that rises, despite facing numerous bouts of disruption, to create a long-lasting business that outlives multiple generations of leaders. Speaking about building a "phoenix" in the 21st Century, Taggar describes his plan of creating a legacy of business revolving around four key values: Customer-Centricity, Transparency, Iterativity and Humbleness. "If you are religious that your customer is always right and receptive to the customer's changing needs, then your company is not going to die." In a year rampant with news on IPO's and startups - whose lifecycle's are often fleeting - Taggar's principles stand out in their emphasis on longevity and provide a gentle reminder on creating lasting, customer-obsessed companies.

A hotel located in the Israeli desert overlooking the Arava vally. It includes 60 rooms, a central building with the lobby, restaurant, yoga spaces, central spa, administration etc. and two pools: an outdoor pool and indoor pool. The hotel is expected to open on 2018, and would be run by "Six senses". The main idea of the hotel is to keep the spirit of the desert.

US: JC Penney "making strides" despite wider Q3 loss
JC Penney's net loss widened to US$489m during the quarter
Struggling department store retailer JC Penney has seen its third-quarter losses widen, hurt by lower revenues and margins - but says it expects sales to improve during the fourth quarter.
The group's net loss widened to US$489m during the three months to 2 November, up from $123m in the same period of last year.
Sales declined 4.8% to $2.78bn from $2.93bn in the prior year, while comparable store sales fell 4.8% during the period. However, the company said this was an improvement of 710 basis points when compared to the prior quarter.
It also noted that comparable store sales and gross margin improved sequentially throughout the quarter. October sales were up 0.9%, reversing the double-digit declines seen in the first two quarters of its financial year, and the 4% decline reported in September.
Gross margin slipped to 29.5% during the quarter from 32.5% last year, impacted by lower clearance margins due to the overhang of inventory from the two prior quarters, higher levels of clearance units sold, as well as the company's transition back to a promotional pricing strategy.
JC Penney CEO, Mike Ullman said: "Our strategies to reconnect with customers are beginning to take hold, and this became increasingly clear as the quarter progressed.
"This is the result of the tremendous efforts of the associates across our company to restore the merchandise customers want and deliver an unmatched shopping experience.
"We are proud of the company's October sales performance, encouraged by the early weeks of November, and believe we are making strides toward a path to long-term profitable growth," Ullman added.
The company said it expects fourth-quarter comparable store sales and gross margin to improve both year-on-year and sequentially. Selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to be below last year's levels.

Typical of the style, this antique French Renaissance bookcase is decorated in elaborate hand carvings. The wood used is beautiful oak and that oak has developed a wonderful patina over the years.
Hand Carvings
The carvings are the most unique and wonderful feature of this antique bookcase. The trestle style legs consist of carved lion heads and large carved lion paws for feet.

This bookcase was originally made in France around 1940. The two upper shelves are removable but not adjustable. The interior is upholstered in a burgundy velvet fabric.

But by no conceivable amount of effort or training could I become a coal-miner, the work would kill me in a few weeks. But even then I was not thinking particularly of my own skin, only of the watchful yellow faces behind.
Your pace grows slower and slower. Afterwards, of course, there were endless discussions about the shooting of the elephant. The filtered light, bluish and cold, lighted us up with unmerciful clarity.
Through the open doors of foundries you see fiery serpents of iron being hauled to and fro by redlit boys, and you hear the whizz and thump of steam hammers and the scream of the iron under the blow. Emptiness is what the elderly man wants to flee from.

The older waiter is enriched by his years to the point where he is aware enough to see that in a matter of time, he could be is? Deafness locks out the old gentleman out from the world. Even centuries hence when the plough drives over the places where coal was once mined, the sites of ancient slag-heaps will still be distinguishable from an aeroplane.
It is curious, but till that moment I had never realized what it means to destroy a healthy, conscious man.
But it is quite a mistake to think that they enjoy it. The old man prefers drinking late at night when the atmosphere is much more settled.

Fourcade finished 14 seconds ahead of the Czech Republic's Ondrej Moravec, who took silver, with Jean Guillaume Beatrix of France claiming bronze.
Bjoerndalen missed a historic 13th medal, finishing fourth, but gets another chance in the men's relay.

Annapolis, Maryland – (August 1, 2016) – On Wednesday, August 10 at 8:30 a.m., Anne Arundel Economic Development Corporation (AAEDC) will host an information session for entrepreneurs interested in applying for the next round of VOLT Fund tech loans. The workshop will take place at the Chesapeake Innovation Center in Odenton.
On June 25, Maryland's Board of Public Works approved AAEDC's request for $4 million for the VOLT Fund. Over the last three years, Anne Arundel Economic Development Corporation has managed the VOLT Fund on behalf of the Maryland Department of Commerce. Unique to the VOLT Fund is a set aside targeted for loans to promising early stage companies.
During the upcoming round, the VOLT Fund plans to allocate approximately $800,000 to the technology portion of the Fund. These loans are designed to help attract follow-on funding from venture capital firms, angel investors and other sources. AAEDC has partnered with two area incubators, the Chesapeake Innovation Center and bwtech@UMBC, to help promote the VOLT Fund to the technology community.
Since inception in 2013, the VOLT Fund has funded 13 emerging technology companies in Maryland totaling $2.3 million in loans. The financing helped attract $3,425,000 to date in follow on funding. Technologies include products and applications ranging from biotech, cybersecurity, medical and edtech.

Poor executive cognitive functioning (ECF) is associated with a variety of alcohol-related problems, however, it is not known whether poor ECF precedes the onset of heavy drinking. Establishing the temporal precedence of poor ECF may have implications for our understanding of the development of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). The present study tests associations between early-adolescent ECF and young-adult risky drinking and alcohol-related problems in a prospective study of youth followed to young adulthood. Participants completed three ECF tasks at ages 11-14 and reported on their risky drinking and alcohol-related problems at ages 18-24. A latent ECF factor was created to …

text: How To Overcome Adversity By Harnessing The Remarkable Power Of Extremely Long Sentences That Seem Exciting But Soon Trickle Into Ineffectual Nothingness November 24, 2017 / Chris Knight Or, How To Write 400 Words Without Saying A Single Meaningful Thing Photo by Joshua Davis on Unsplash My life changed dramatically three days ago, utterly and completely transformed when I realised I could begin sentences with bold and interesting clauses without even having to make a point as long as the sentences were long, meandering and made up of incomplete ideas. People WILL pay close attention, transfixed like sprinters at the start of a hundred-metre dash until you do a bait-and-switch, replacing their sprint for an abnormally lengthy marathon few can get through without letting their focus drift away.You will reach out and GRAB readers' attentions tightly in your fist at the very beginning, before letting that iron grip relax as your words continue to drone on and on, their attention petering out as their eyelids begin to droop. Suddenly, BAM! another sentence, stirring and vibrant, capturing their attention back as they begin to think, wait, is there even a point to any of this and then, no, there is no point and there never was, everything is a lie and this article is nothing but sheer bluster dressed up as a how-to write column.Whoa! Yikes! Yeehaw! are some fascinating, powerful interjections to throw in at the start of an unnervingly long set of clauses, strung together with what seems like purpose and drive yet turns out to be mere prevarication and evasion of even making the simplest valid statement. Stop and look wondrously upon this essay as you begin the realisation that it, too has started with much promise, then failed to redeem said promise by the end, letting the last paragraphs dissolve into meaningless drivel.Yes indeed, it is a good thing that people quickly lose attention and let their vision skim, skim, skim along an essay like this, ignoring the dull, vapid content. This could be a metaphor for something but it isn't, it's just words that seem like a point has been made with nothing behind it, the lexical equivalent of an empty echo (echo (echo)).This last paragraph doesn't even try to start well, but that's because everyone has already lost interest and started skimming while thinking about other things, indeed, anything else at all would be preferable to having wasted your time than reading this article. Having hit the word count perfectly, I now end this abomination's life, as I would a rabid monstrosity, although it is I who have inflicted meaningless on a world in need of answers.

Successor to the Compact Disc?
It has now been more than 25 years since the compact disc was introduced to the world. We might remember that there were—and still are—those who disparaged the sound of the CD, preferring the venerable vinyl disk, which has become a collector's item. The CD was revolutionary, of course, because it is a digital audio recording. Although digital audio recorders had previously been used professionally, the CD was the first digital medium available to the general public.
The technical characteristics of the CD reflect the state of the technology at the time it was developed. The audio data on the CD is in the form of PCM, or pulse code modulation. In PCM, the amplitude of the analog audio waveform is sampled periodically, and the samples are quantized: Each sample is assigned one of a number of specified values or quantization steps. The number of quantization steps available depends on the bit depth, which is 16-bits in the case of the CD.
Each sample has to be represented by a specific quantization step, but any given sample's value may not fall precisely upon a step; in which case the step closest to the sample's value is assigned. The distance between the sample's actual value and the nearest quantization step is called quantization error, and the aggregate of quantization errors is known as quantization noise.
It can be seen that quantization errors are really signal-related distortion components, not uncorrelated noise. The greater the number of quantization steps available, the closer any given sample is likely to be to a quantization step, so quantization noise is an inverse function of bit depth—the more bits available, the lower the quantization noise. The bit depth of CD audio is 16-bits, which means that there are 216 or 65,536 discrete quantization steps available.
PCM audio is subject to the Sample Theorem, which states that in order to perfectly reconstruct a sampled waveform, at least two samples must be taken per cycle. This means that no frequency higher than twice the sample frequency may be accurately represented in the reconstructed analog output. In the case of the CD, the sample frequency is 44.1 kHz. Half of 44.1 kHz is 22.05 kHz, and in order to avoid aliases, signals input to the sampler/quantizer must be limited to this frequency or lower.
If all the foregoing conditions are met, the reconstructed analog output waveform of such a system will be a perfect representation of the original analog waveform with some quantization noise added. In addition to the anti-alias filtering required before the analog signals are sampled and quantized, there must be reconstruction filters on the digital-to-analog conversion side, to remove the images, which are harmonics of the sampling frequency.
We note here that the above principles apply to any waveform that is sampled and digitized using PCM, including audio and video. A notable example of PCM-coded video is the ITU 601 component digital SD video with which we are well familiar. In many cases, including HD video, some form of data compression is used, as PCM coding generates an impractical quantity of data.
The developers of the original Compact Disc have now developed the Super Audio Compact Disc, which, instead of PCM, uses a coding technology called Direct Stream Digital or bitstream coding. DSD makes use of sigma-delta 1-bit conversion. Delta modulation has been with us for some time, having been developed in the 1950s. As its name implies, it takes account of the signal's amplitude delta—the amplitude change between a sample and the sample that precedes it. In essence, the sigma-delta A/D converter is a simple device. It uses a negative feedback loop to accumulate the analog audio waveform over each sample period.
If the amplitude of the accumulated waveform over a given sample period is greater than that of the previous sample period, the converter outputs a "1." If the amplitude of the accumulated waveform over a given sample period is less than that of the previous sample period, the converter outputs a "0." This is a kind of pulse density modulation, as positive-going waveforms will produce many 1s in sequence, while negative-going waveforms will produce many 0s in sequence. The sigma-delta decoder performs the inverse operation.
It is apparent that if we have but a single bit to express the amplitude change between samples, as opposed to 16-bits for traditional CDs, many more samples must be taken in a given period of time in order to accumulate the requisite information density. In the case of SACD, the sample rate is 64 times the 44.1 kHz sample rate used by CDs, or about 2.822 million samples per second. This yields an analog frequency response up to 100 kHz, and a signal-to-noise ratio of about 120 dB.
There has been a general trend in recent years regarding consumer equipment of all quality levels away from the traditional resistor-ladder type of D/A converter to the sigma-delta type converter; not in the least because it can be made smaller and at lower cost. Many of these are 1-bit sigma-delta converters, which first interpolate and up-sample the 16-bit, 44.1 kHz CD data to 1-bit, 2.882 mHz data, then use a 1-bit sigma-delta DAC to convert the data back to analog audio.
The advantages cited for these converters, and for the entire DSD A/D-D/A system, are the elimination of the requirement for anti-alias and reconstruction filters, wide frequency response and high signal-to-noise ratio. Nothing is free and the penalty exacted by the 1-bit sigma-delta process is a high noise level; but the perceptible noise is reduced by aggressive noise shaping, in which the noise is pushed up above the audible spectrum. It must also be said that newer high-end sigma-delta DACs are increasingly of the multibit variety, frequently in the range of 3-bits.
SACDs of course use high-density recording techniques. Conventional CDs contain about 750 MB of data, while SACDs, like their high-density relatives DVDs, can contain about 4.7 GB of data. SACDs on the market today are typically hybrid discs. They contain a layer of conventional CD data, and also a layer of high-density data, so that they may be played on conventional CD players as well as SACD players. The SACD signals can contain up to six audio channels, as opposed to the 2-channel capability of CD signals.
There are those who ecstatically praise the sound of SACD audio as a tremendous advance over CD audio. For a different technical opinion, the reader is referred to Audio Engineering Society Convention paper 5395, "Why 1-Bit Sigma-Delta Conversion is Unsuitable for High-Quality Applications," by Stanley Lipshitz and John Vanderkooy. It was presented in 2001 at the 110th AES Convention in Amsterdam.
It is well known that in the digital process, the addition of a small amount of uncorrelated noise, called dither, can reduce or eliminate correlated quantization distortion components from the signal, leaving a benign floor of uncorrelated noise. Lipshitz's and Vanderkooy's contention is that 1-bit sigma-delta converters are in principle not perfectible, because when they are properly dithered, they are operating in constant overload, while multibit sigma-delta converters are infinitely perfectible, as they do not have the 1-bit headroom constraint.
