So you want to know more about a feature, capability or product, but were too afraid to ask!?
Worry no more! Feature Fridays is an initiative to help enable our partners get the most out of their investment in the VMware Cloud Provider Platform. We'll cover lots of different aspects of the program, products and capabilities, also discuss new releases and key important things to note.
Hosted by Guy, each week we will release a new video covering a different topic in more depth, interviewing our technical experts and getting to that next level of detail (if I can!) The content will be mostly technical but will also cover services that are feasible with the features. We have tried to keep the content relevant and interesting, but if you have any feedback you can always reach us at email@example.com you can also of course comment on our videos to establish some debate!
Keep an eye out on this blog site to see when a new video is released.
NOTE – all future episodes are listed here too, some some may say private or unpublished until they go live (one each Friday!)

Varla Release New Pegasus eScooter
Introducing the Pegasus, the latest eScooter from Varla; who are committed to providing high-performance electric scooters. Evolving into modern demands, they have placed a keen interest in creating the means for a memorable ride and experience.
On the topic of modern innovations, they have developed their latest electric scooter; the PEGASUS. This model is a recent upgraded city commuter scooter, packed with outstanding premium features perfect for heavy duty use. Since the Eagle One, they've taken a keen look at the flexibility, breaks, lights, tires and more.
Boasting a number of great features, we feel that this model has serious potential. Prior to launch, the Pegasus scooter underwent testing by professional riders. It is arguably a great contribution to riders, including prospective riders.
With a 48V battery capacity and highly responsive disc brakes; results of the performance test verified that it runs at an average speed of 35 mp/h, with a load capacity or weight of approx. 300 lbs (136 kg). It is designed with an easy-to-use throttle for a smooth and longer-lasting experience.
The Pegasus eScooter claims a max. power output of 1600W; a big advantage over most other scooters not from the Varla brand. More so, it covers 28 miles at a full ride. It is technically designed to adjust and run at 25 degrees for harsh environments, hills and rugged slopes, without impacting the rider.
Additionally, Varla Pegasus Scooter is one of the best choices for emergency braking and avoiding accidents. Developed with dual disc brakes, instant brake application is safe and easy. The rubber handle grips are comfortable, grippy and clearly of high quality. Everything is conveniently situated, allowing for riders to easily break, operate lights, check speed and more.
The flexibility and portability of the Varla Pegasus sets it apart from other eScooters. Capable of fitting perfectly into a car, train carriage or bus; riders will easily transport and store their ride. Truly a direct mobility upgrade in comparison to the larger Eagle One.
However, please note that the handlebars are not removable or foldable. Keep this in mind when attempting to store it or transport it through a tight space. However, it remains lightweight and maintains great mobility. Another upgrade over their previous Eagle One model its light weight. Thanks to this, riders can easily lift and manueoveur the Pegasus manually in vehicles or trains.
For an easy guide on how to fold and unfold your Pegasus scooter, check the user manual. It only takes easy three steps to package the scooter.
Another great feature of the Varla Pegasus Scooter is the conveniently located components; with grippy rubber handlebars and a clear display showcasing speed, mileage, battery life and more. Riders can easily rotate the handlebars while riding to ensure greater grip and control.
A thumb throttle is located on the right handlebar of the Pegasus, a change from the thumb throttle on the Eagle One. The left side of the handlebar contains a three-way power control button; including a ride mode switch and featured toggle for display.
The controls are carefully placed and streamlined for quick and easy access, accommodating both beginners and experts alike. We feel that most riders will easily pick up the controls and functions of this eScooter.
The Varla Pegasus is easily configured and maintained to suit a variety of purposes. For easy maintenance, please;
- Avoid riding in the rain or heavy weather condition.
- Wash it at least once in two weeks. Whilst regular and frequent washing is not advisable, try to keep it clean after tough use.
- Follow the user maintenance guide as directed in the user manual.
The Pegasus comes packaged with a handy tool-kit feature, allowing for easy repairs and maintenance. For complete control over this eScooter, riders can customise settings through the display; simply hold the mode button, before using direction buttons to input desired values. This will first require some understanding of the controller.
High quality tyres have always been an important component of any eScooter. They offer greater grip, control and rider safety. As such, the Varla Pegasus is no exception; boasting some of the best tires available for a relaxed riding experience. The 3.5″ wide solid rubber tires allow riders to travel long distances without worrying about punctures. Although a little tougher to replace, they have a much longer lifespan than air-filled rubber tires.
These tires support both on and off-road riding, which is quite uncommon for a commuting scooter to offer. Even on wet floors and roads, these tires maintain a rough surface supporting friction; preventing any slipping or accidents.
Varla Pegasus has a one-push control setup for the thumb throttle, making access and speed convenient and swift. Coupled with its efficient braking power and heat dissipation method makes it safe and in good condition during and after use. It is not easily affected by wet or dry temperature conditions, so an excellent opportunity to enjoy your scooter.
As previously mentioned, the Eagle One is another model from Varla, boasting brilliant power and performance. An extremely powerful scooter, riders seeking a rapid ride should look no further. Although both claiming similar features and designs, the Eagle One certainly offers the best performance.
Varla Pegasus | Varla Eagle One | |
Who it is for? | Commuters mainly riding on flat roads, with daily mileage less than 15 miles | Bigger riders seeking high speeds and comfortable long-distance rides |
Speed | 35 MPH | 40 MPH |
Mile | 28 Miles | 40 Miles |
Max. Load | 300 lbs | 330 lbs |
Charging Time | 4-5 hours (Quick Charger 3.0A) | 4-5 Hours (Two Charger) 8-9 Hours (Single Chargers) |
Tire | Fat Solid Tire | Pneumatic tire |
Wheel Size | 8×3.5-inch | 10×3-inch |
Motor | 2x500W | 2x1000W |
Battery | 48V 15.6Ah | 52V 18.2Ah |
Throttle | Thumb Throttle | Trigger Throttle |
Price | $1299 | $1599 |
As a city scooter, the Varla Pegasus is designed to be relatively lightweight; whilst supporting a max. load of 300 lbs. Whilst it accommodates a similar weight to the Eagle One, it is much lighter with a smaller battery. One direct improvement over its predecessor are the puncture-proof solid rubber tires; adding far greater reliability when riding.
We believe that this model makes a perfect choice for many riders; however the price tag means that may typically be reserved for serious commuters. Although, we feel that its top-quality design and such great performance makes it worth the price.
To conclude, the Varla Pegasus is a great new eScooter model, with hopes of innovating and reshaping the future of electric commuting scooters. We believe it offers quite a comfortable ride for the vast majority of riders. We were especially impressed with its performance both on and off-road; typically most commuting scooters only excel on the road. Alongside this, integrated lights allow for riding at both day and night, truly an ideal choice for many inner-city commuters.
See it for yourself and experience a remarkable ride like never before.

Hey you… weary heart that feels a bit like you ran a big race but didn't finish, you need to hear this today.
You are of God and have already overcome because….
Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:4
Once in a while I find myself tempted to sink into the circumstances edging ahead of me on this race I am running. It's then that I get tired, friends.
Do you sometimes feel like the fight and the stamina required to take the next step are like climbing Mt Everest?
And then I remember that we will have times of trial, situations we may question, moments we are unsure, days of doubt, and even years of difficulty.
Do we choose to give up and throw in the towel when things don't go our way?
Some of my favorite verses in the Bible are contending words. They are the seeds of promise that urge me forward and remind me that there is always something more, something deeper, something powerful if I would just believe… if I would just take Him as His Word and say, "Yes, God."
Isaiah 49:25- I will contend with him that contends with you.
Many times I come to His Word looking for the ammunition to fight against the battles ahead. The prayer warrior in me comes armed with a battalion of scriptures; petitions of promises girded by His Truth.
- What if, instead, we choose to arm ourselves first from a place of resting in the Father rather than placing that battered shield of faith in front of ourselves?
- What if we remember, that He is the one fighting our battles rather than we in our own strength pulling down the strongholds?
- What if our choosing to rest in God led us to pray big prayers of faith?
Joshua blessed big from a place of rest; he entered into the promised land.
When Joshua was speaking to Israel in the 23rd chapter of that book which bears his name, it was after a time of resting that he brought forth a blessing. He addressed them. He blessed them. He revealed that God was making them a great nation which no man could stand against. One of my favorite verses says, "One man shall put a thousand to flight for it is the Lord your God Who fights for you, as He promised you. Be watchful… (take heed). ..of yourselves that you love the Lord you God." (vs. 10) He goes on to remind them of the power of covenant living, of loving and serving God with their lives in a pattern that reflects a life that was committed. God gave us a paradigm in His Word. We need to find time to rest in Him, fully, in order to be adequately clothed and prepared to wrestle with world and win.
Friends, how many times do you stop and pause and allow your resting to honor God?
I can tell you, that I don't do that well. I don't know how to rest adequately.
And I think it is what causes me to feel like I am losing this race I am running some days.
I don't like that feeling.
There is something moving deep in my heart about this contending that He does for you and I. He is the one doing the work, not we ourselves. Yes, faith in action involves motion on our part, but I am not talking about the power of faith here… I am challenging you to do big things in prayer by resting in the power of the ONE who is greater in you than the one who is in the world.
God sanctified and blessed the seventh day because in it, he rested from working. ( Gen 2:3)
Those words, sanctified… blessed…. rest, reveal another pattern. Sometimes we miss the blessing because we don't see it for what it is. Sanctified and holy, set apart and a blessed, all extend from a time of meditation, they start when we find a place of rest before the Lord.
Grace reveals the permission to pause in the moment and Let God reveal the next step on the journey you are taking.
And friend, these words of rest that He is speaking to you, it is time to pause and listen close.
He is speaking to the heart of weariness, reminding you of this truth: the rest that is assured, the refreshing that restores, it is smack dab in the middle of the prayer of faith that reroutes our paths and affirms our place in grace's grip.
Don't miss the power of this truth, soldier.
He has never once asked us to work harder to please him, or be perfect, to move forward in our journey to grace. He just asks us to come and wait upon Him. He asks us to lay aside those weights and sin-traps that trip us and make us work harder. He reminds us that grace is always His gift to give and ours to first receive.
Because the reality is that we cannot extend grace to others if we have not first received it from God. And this favor that is a result of His Spirit moving over ours causes us to stop and pause at it all. To rationalize the simplicity of what rest implies. To look to grace for what it is… a privilege and a promise.
And that is why we are weary and tired. We have been missing the heart of grace in our everyday living. We forget the power of resting in the favor of the One who redeems the broken and restores the wounded heart because we have taken our eyes off the finish line to look at the side of the road and the rocky soil.
Yet, He doesn't forget. He gently coaxes us with the daily reminders that we can't measure the gift He has placed within us. He can take all we bring to Him, He encourages us to dump out our baggage so that he can pack and organize and prepare us better for the journey ahead.
- Sometimes it takes realizing we have been walking down a difficult road to appreciate the ease of a quiet stroll.
- Sometimes it takes understanding that we can't control a single fraction of our day to finally allow the day to be molded and orchestrated by His leading.
- Sometimes it takes big risk to speak bold prayers in the midst of unbelief to change our role from soldier on the battle field to warrior in the prayer closet.
- Sometimes it takes a season of quiet contemplation and unhurried resting to behold the splendor of His masterpiece revealed in our lives.
Friend, today I want to challenge you to consider the place of rest He is calling you to. To wait there for him, and to rest in the power of His goodness and overwhelming grace. Would you consider coming to the throne room in prayer today without the petitions and the orders to lay out before the Lord, but instead just come with reverent hearts and mustard-seed faith and just believe that He is in your midst working things out for your good and His glory?
Do you need to write yourself a post-it note today to remember?
Note to self: Greater is the One who is in you!
Pray big today!
I am praying for revelation wisdom this week, as you start it in a mode of rest and recuperation. Start each day with the Sabbath rest in mind and let it remind you of your dependence upon grace to meet each task with humility and broken beauty.
I have created another prayer journal page and pdf for you here: Greater is He who is in You Prayer Journal.
Linking up with friends for the journey:

The Premier League has put a new offer to clubs in the English Football League in a bid to try and give them as much assistance as they can during the coronavirus pandemic.
The timely offer comes at a time when the country is about to go into lockdown once again with the Premier League making a new offer to bailout the English Football League, insisting that it will not allow any Championship club go bust because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The 72 clubs that make up the EFL, from the Championship, League One and League Two, had previously rejected a £50million offer from the Premier League in grants and loans to clubs in Leagues One and Two, according to a report by The Times.
The clubs in Leagues One and Two, though, rejected the offer, claiming it was divisive as it excluded clubs operating at Championship level.
Now, a new offer has been sent to the EFL from the Premier League offering the same sum of money to the lower two divisions - £20million immediately and £30million as an emergency fund - but specifically referencing financial help for any Championship club that is in troubled waters as a result of the Covid-19 crisis.
The offer, which is set to be discussed by the EFL's board at a meeting later this week, says that the Premier League would look at all representations from Championship clubs on a case-by-case basis. The EFL has been in search of £250million to cover the losses caused by the pandemic.
The fresh approach has been set out with the aim to soothe fears among some Premier League clubs that they could end up propping up Championship outfits who have owners wealthier than themselves, or clubs who have spent huge amounts of money in an effort to try and reach the top-flight of English football.
The offer would only cover losses directly related to a result of the pandemic and it would have to be proved that the club's owner is not in a position to make up the shortfall. It is reported that at least one club from League One will be forced to enter administration if they have not received any financial assistance before the next payday at the end of this month.
The Premier League has dropped the conditions that it attempted to impose when first offering a rescue package, including the EFL supporting its position against the Football Association for work permits for youngsters aged between 18 and 21 from overseas once post-Brexit rules come into play.

Last week, the government ruled out a call from EFL chairman Rick Parry for football to be given access to a Treasury rescue package, insisting that the sport had to support itself, despite its current difficulties.
Parry said that the Premier League "may not be in a position to provide the level of support that is required."
Parry went on to add: "EFL clubs, almost all of them are the social cornerstones of the towns and cities they bear the names of, stand on the brink of a financial precipice."
The EFL had been hopeful that the Treasury would offer clubs an arrangement to stop their PAYE debts building. The government has admitted that more than £77million is owed to the 72 clubs that make up the EFL pyramid.

During the discussion in the first reading of the provisions to the Georgian Law on Narcotic Substances, Psychotropic Substances and Precursors and Narcological Aid, Tamaz Avdaliani, Member of the Parliamentary Majority, stated at the plenary session held on 26 May 2013: "I studied the literature and this ("spice") is prohibited everywhere: in Russia, Europe and the United States; here we have gone too far."
According to the bill proposed by Tamaz Avdaliani, the so-called "spice",a narcotic substance, should be prohibited in Georgia.
"Spice" is a mildly hallucinogenic mix of dried plant material that is laced with synthetic cannabinoids. Synthetic cannabinoids are a chemical substance with a different structure. They are functionally similar to tetra-cannabinoids and cause the similar psycho-physiological reaction in a person. At the same time, synthetic cannabinoids are approximately five times stronger. Cannabinoids are included in the list of strictly prohibited drugs.
"Spice" is mostly imported to Georgia through online shopping and usually sold in three-to-five gram packages. In order to obtain the drug, a user needs only to register on the website of the online shop and then purchase the product through electronic payment. There are private companies shipping to Georgia with home delivery, as one of the service options upon request.
Chapter 33 of the Georgian Criminal Code refers to drug crimes. According to this Chapter, the illegal production, purchase, transportation, sale, import, export or transit and international shipping of illicit narcotic substances, precursors, psychotropic substances and similar drugs is prohibited and punishable by law.
The Georgian Law on Narcotic Substances, Psychotropic Substances and Precursors and Narcological Aid, List I, II, III lists prohibited drugs, wherein we see that the composed substances of "spice" are not mentioned within the list.
FactCheckdecided to check whether or not the "spice" is in fact prohibited in Russia, Europe and the United States.
The Synthetic Drug Abuse Prevention Act of 2012came into force on 10 July 2012 after it was signed by the US President, Barack Obama. The Act lists the substances included in "spice."
In Europe, "spice" is prohibited in:
- Austria since 18 December 2008
- Germany since 22 January 2009
- Finland, only used for medical purposes
- France since 24 February 2009
- Ireland since 2010
- Latvia since 1 January 2011
- Poland since May, 2009
- Romania since 15 February 2010
- Slovakia since January 2010
- Sweden since 30 July 2009
- The United Kingdom since December, 2009
dated 31 December 2009, "spice" is prohibited in the Russian Federation.
Consumption of the "spice" drug is prohibited everywhere in the countries listed above. For further clarification, the following substances,which can be included in "spice" or other productions, are also prohibited: JWH-18, JWH-073, HU-210, CP 47.497, C6, C8 and C9.
According to Georgian legislation, the narcotic substances which are included in "spice" are not prohibited from circulation in Georgia; however, "spice" is prohibited in Russia, Europe and the United States.
Correspondingly, we rate the statement by Tamaz Avdaliani that "spice" is prohibited in Russia, Europe and the United States as TRUE.

Teresa Hall
Southwest Ohio Welcomes New Regional Director
Teresa Brings Warmth and Excitement to Her New Role
"Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." –Psalm 119:105
Teresa Hall is Echoing Hills' new Southwest Ohio Regional Director, bringing close to 30 years of professional experience with her. In her last role as a Licensed Social Worker / Community Care Manager, Teresa worked with people with all types of needs.
"My last role prepared me for this new position," shares Teresa. "Everyone I serve, individuals and team members, struggle with something. I like to turn these struggles into their greatest strength."
Professional Life
This isn't Teresa's first time working in the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities field. After college, she worked as a Qualified Intellectual Disability Professional (QIDP) Manager for seven years. Teresa shares that it was her disability that led her to this industry.
"I began losing my hearing when I was three years old. By the time my first child was born, I had lost my hearing altogether," recalls Teresa. "It is something I used to hide, only telling people close to me. Now, I talk openly about it as it helps in my advocacy for individuals with disabilities."
Teresa is excited to return to the field where she began. Echoing Hills was the right place for her.
"I'm in the fourth quarter of my career," she says. "I want to do something transformative. Something that will allow me to make an impact. Echoing Hills will allow me to do that. The fact that it is faith-based helped me decide this was the place for me."
Letting love and compassion guide her leadership, Teresa is looking forward to her new role. She would like to look back two years from now and see that she helped make something good even better.
"I look forward to helping make Echoing Hills the place people want to be – to live, learn, connect, play, worship, and work!"
Utilizing a cochlear implant, Teresa is also looking forward to helping individuals have the tools they need to be successful.
"Technology has helped me greatly. I can hear because of my cochlear implant. I want to find ways to utilize technology for others too!"
Personal Life
Teresa and her husband, Jeff, have been married for 30 years. Together, they have two grown children, Haley and Harry, three dogs, and one cat. After their kids left the house, Jeff and Teresa began fostering. They now provide respite stays for other foster families.
"Fostering has always been important to me," shares Teresa. "In college, I helped organize a picnic to raise awareness for fostering. The city continued the program for twenty years, resulting in several adoptions."
Teresa and Jeff enjoy boating, fishing, or fossil hunting, especially when visiting their new home in Florida.
"We look forward to retiring in Florida one day. It has always been our happy place."
Love. Learn. Worship.

Donald Trump blamed the Democratic Party on Thursday morning for opening the borders to criminals from Central America and threatened to use the US military to seal the US-Mexico border — the latest threat in an ongoing Twitter temper tantrum Trump has thrown over a caravan of as many as 4,000 Honduran migrants making its way toward the US.
The caravan crossed into Guatemala on Monday. While it hopes to reach the United States, the caravan hasn't even reached Mexico yet, and it seems likely that Mexican authorities will stop most of its members from ever reaching the US-Mexico border. But it's already drawn heavy coverage on Fox News's morning show Fox & Friends, which appears, as usual, to be the way the president learns about the world.
I am watching the Democrat Party led (because they want Open Borders and existing weak laws) assault on our country by Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, whose leaders are doing little to stop this large flow of people, INCLUDING MANY CRIMINALS, from entering Mexico to U.S.....
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 18, 2018
To be clear:
- No elected Democrat wants "open borders," the total absence of any immigration restrictions.
- The current flow of migrants toward the US from Central America — many of them children or families, and many of them seeking asylum — isn't the product of Democratic encouragement; it's a complicated mix of economic and humanitarian migration, which others in the Trump administration have been struggling to disentangle.
- Current US law offers extra protections to children and families entering the US without papers because Congress decided that was a good idea.
- Current US law makes it legal for people without papers to seek asylum — either by presenting themselves at an official US border crossing, or even after crossing illegally and being apprehended by Border Patrol — because it's required to under international law.
Trump's threats have escalated over the course of the week. On Tuesday morning, he threatened to cut off aid to Honduras if the caravan weren't stopped before it reached the US (a threat he also made, but didn't follow through on, over a previous migrant caravan this spring).
By Tuesday night, Trump had expanded the threat to Guatemala and El Salvador — the other two countries in the "Northern Triangle" of Central America. The conditions in all three countries have spurred a wave of people coming to the US without papers over the past few years — many of them unaccompanied children or families, migrants seeking asylum, or both.
And by Thursday morning, Trump's tantrum included Mexico, including a vague and impracticable threat to use the US military to seal the border entirely:
....In addition to stopping all payments to these countries, which seem to have almost no control over their population, I must, in the strongest of terms, ask Mexico to stop this onslaught - and if unable to do so I will call up the U.S. Military and CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER!..
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 18, 2018
Again, to be clear:
- Countries can't forcibly stop people from emigrating under international law.
- "Closing the border" would stop all legal immigration (and flows of goods) into the US; it would be economically ruinous and is not going to happen.
- The use of the US military on US soil is severely restricted under the Posse Comitatus Act.
- In general, apprehensions of people crossing illegally to the US are still in line with the past several years, and much lower than pre-recession levels. There has been a spike in the number of families crossing illegally into the US, but it's been offset by an ongoing decline in the number of single adults.
- A large number of families coming into the US are seeking asylum.
- Mexico was already preparing to stop the caravan before Trump started yelling at them.
The caravan probably won't make it to the US-Mexico border
The Mexican government has already announced that caravan members who enter Mexico illegally will be "rescued" and deported, and that caravan members can request asylum in Mexico but may be detained for up to 90 days if they do. (In April, Mexico allowed a caravan of more than 1,000 migrants to enter the country, but later forcibly dispersed them by offering a similar choice.)
According to NBC News, the Mexican government sent 500 federal police to the Mexico-Guatemala border Wednesday in anticipation of the caravan's arrival. A video posted by Karla Zabludovsky of BuzzFeed News shows two planefuls of police, armed with riot gear, touching down near the border with Guatemala.
But the Trump administration doesn't appear sanguine about this possibility. As he was in April, the president is again fixated on the idea of a large group of people seeking to migrate to the US. And just as the April caravan helped spur a border crackdown that is still ongoing, the president's current fixation is likely to drive US policy at the US-Mexico border and beyond.
....The assault on our country at our Southern Border, including the Criminal elements and DRUGS pouring in, is far more important to me, as President, than Trade or the USMCA. Hopefully Mexico will stop this onslaught at their Northern Border. All Democrats fault for weak laws!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 18, 2018
Once more, to be clear:
- Caravans of migrants, like the ones currently coming into Honduras, are an alternative to paying smugglers — who may be involved in larger criminal organizations and/or drug smuggling — for transit through Mexico and into the US.
- Immigrants don't commit more crimes than US citizens.
- Criminals and gang members make up a vanishingly small share of people coming into the United States.
Trump is right about one thing, though: It's clear that this is the most important issue to him as president. It's the issue that won him the Republican nomination, and on which his administration has been extremely aggressive in reshaping executive policy. And it's the issue that he was hoping to raise fears about in the midterm elections. The current caravan provides a convenient news hook.
The US isn't being invaded by criminals. But Trump's panic has already led to a border crackdown that has separated (temporarily or permanently) thousands of families, opened the door to long-term detention of thousands more, and could be denying people the right to seek protection from mortal danger — a right that is supposed to be guaranteed under US law.

Shailaja Reddy Alludu, an old Mother-in-law and son-in-law formulaic film. But, the old is gold. Of course, many films came with this theme concept. Chiranjeevi's Alluda Mazaka, Bala Krishna's Nari Nari Naduma Murari, Venkatesh's Bobbili Raja, Nagarjuna's Allari Alludu movies have come with the same theme. In young heroes, except Jr.NTR's Naa Alludu and Allari Ramudu, there are no movies on this theme. Now, it is Naga Chaitanya's turn to fun with the mother-in-law. However, Shailaja Reddy Alludu is from Maruthi and Sithara Entertainments producing this film. Anu Emmanuel is the heroine of this film and Vennela Kishore, Naresh, Pruthvi are the main characters in the film.
In teaser and trailer, we watched that the fun between the Hero and Heroine family. Moreover, the Hello Brother's background music in the last seconds is delightful to hear. Though, the movie is releasing on September 13th on the occasion of Vinayaka Chavithi. On the same day, his wife Samantha's bilingual thriller film U-turn also releasing. So, Shailaja Reddy Alluudu team released a video of Vennela Kishore released. Actually, that was small but funny. However, Gopi Sunder music is awesome, the songs are playing repeatedly in youngster's mobiles.

MATRIXX's Rob Edwards and Paul Gainham present the essential architecture underpinning network slicing, as well as the key steps required to deploy and monetize it.
July 28, 2020
Network slicing is a fundamental component of the 5G experience, but how can network slicing enable MNOs to be true value-added partners? Read the white paper to discover how MNOs can best optimize and monetize the flow of mobile traffic as networks evolve to the 5G Core.
To successfully monetize 5G, telcos must assume new roles and partnerships, especially in the enterprise space. As part of a broad-based strategy for 5G, successfully utilizing network slicing will deliver improved B2B, B2C, B2B2B and B2B2C opportunities, propel innovation and unleash a wave of possibilities.

Kampanye Lestari Lingkungan 2015 for the students which started on Tuesday (9/6) finally ended in SMA 6 Berau in Jalan Betet, Kampung Labanan Jaya.
A series of schools campaign, starting from SMA 1, SMK 1, SMA 4, SMK Ma'arif NU 01, and SMA 6 left a deep image in each school.
"Hopefully, it will be beneficial, considering the enthusiasm during the practice of making takakura and biopori was good, at least it could be implemented in each school," explained Syaiful Anwar, Environment Team of PT Berau Coal, which was the keynote speaker in every campaign.
Senior and vocational schools were chosen as the target campaign because it was expected that the students can provide good example to their juniors both in the junior high school (SMP) and the elementary school (SD).
"This year, we intentionally chose senior and vocational high school so that the materials can penetrate well, and becoming a special motivation especially for the school which never win the Adiwiyata award. Whereas, next year, if possible we plan to target the junior high and elementary school," he continued.
For the kampanye lestari this year, it is rather different than the previous one. The brief workshop on making the household compost in form of takakura, and practice of making biopori is the added activities which were very interesting to the students.
"Workshop and practice was intentionally to make the students interested to process their own garbage at home, and at school. And it would continue further," Syaiful ascertained.
In this 4 days campaign, the keynote speakers were not only from Berau Coal. Badan Lingkungan Hidup (BLH) Berau, also present the materials on Adiwiyata.
In this campaign, question and answer session was also provided, which is the spirit booster for the students. For the students who were active in raising questions and capable of answering the questions from the presenter, they were given souvenir of notes and pretty mug fom Berau Coal.

There's going to be an Australian federal government election on September 14 (you may have heard). One of our favourite online resources at the last election was ElectionLeaflets.org.au, which collected together scans of the leaflets sent out by every candidate and party it could find, so we're pleased to see it has been reactivated this year.
While we'll hear a lot this year about the role of Twitter and Facebook in campaigning, candidates haven't yet given up on printed material. Locally-distributed brochures sometimes make outlandlish claims that wouldn't survive five minutes in the heat of online scrutiny, which makes the site interesting reading no matter what your political viewpoint.
The site relies on contributions from volunteers, so if you find yourself bombarded with pleas from your local candidates, share the welath.
