The first week of the college football season is in the books, wrapping up a week that brought multiple upsets, video game-esque displays of athletic ability, a shuffling of the AP Top 25, and a Hail Mary finish. Let's dive right into the week that was:
Top Stories:
- Prayer Answered: BYU defeats Nebraska on last-second Hail Mary
Do you know who Tanner Mangum is? Well, to quote the Notorious B.I.G., "If you don't know, now you know."
Mangum, a BYU freshman, entered at quarterback for the Cougars Saturday after starter Taysom Hill went down with an injury in the fourth quarter. He completed 7-of-11 pass attempts, none bigger than the 42-yard touchdown heave to wide receiver Mitch Mathews as the game clock expired, vaulting the Cougars to a 33-28 victory over the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Hill suffered a fractured foot and will miss the remainder of the season, likely making Mangum BYU's starting quarterback moving forward. Prior to his injury, Hill threw for 268 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. He also rushed for 72 yards and two touchdowns on 9 carries.
For Nebraska, in the loss, quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. completed 24 passes, including 7 to wide receiver Jordan Westerkamp, and finished with 319 yards passing, three touchdowns, and an interception.
- 'There's Always One': SEC enjoys a 12-1 opening weekend; Vanderbilt loses to Western Kentucky
The Conference often considered the strongest in college football, the SEC saw 12 of its 14 teams march on to victory in Week 1. The only blemish on the Conference record was a loss by Vanderbilt at the hands of Western Kentucky. The 14th team, the LSU Tigers, had their opener against McNeese State cancelled due to weather.
The highest-ranked team in the Conference, the #2 Alabama Crimson Tide, knocked off the #20 Wisconsin Badgers, pushing them out of the AP Top 25 poll. The SEC enters the second week of the season with 10 of its 14 teams ranked in the AP Top 25.
But the SEC could not escape week one of the season with a perfect record. The Vanderbilt Commodores dropped a 14-12 affair to the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers of Conference USA. The Commodores narrowed the score to 14-12 with 33 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter on a 2-yard touchdown pass by quarterback Johnny McCrary, but the Western Kentucky defense halted Vanderbilt's two-point conversion attempt on the 1-yard line to secure the win.
Things will not get any easier for the Commodores moving forward, as they prepare to face SEC opponent #10 Georgia in week two.
- Pittsburgh running back James Conner tears MCL, done for the season
Though the Pittsburgh Panthers opened their season with a win Saturday over Youngstown State, they suffered a major blow to their offense, losing junior running back James Conner for the season.
Conner, the ACC's leading rusher and Player of the Year in 2014, exited the game in the first quarter with an apparent knee injury, and was relieved by redshirt-freshman running back Qadree Ollison. Further examination of Conner's knee revealed a torn MCL which will end his 2015 season early.
Ollison went on to rush for 207 yards and a touchdown in his Pitt debut.
Conner finished 7th in the nation in 2014 with 1,765 rushing yards, and was a bright spot for the Panthers in a disappointing season.
Pittsburgh will now rely on Ollison to ride the momentum he got started in week one, to lead the Panthers ground attack.
- 'Rising to the Occasion': Kansas, Army, and Wyoming all fall at the hands of FCS (I-AA) opponents
In what was their best chance to win a game this season, the Kansas Jayhawks could not overcome a strong offensive effort by the South Dakota State Jackrabbits, losing 41-38 to the FCS underdog.
But, in week one, Kansas was not alone in losing to an FCS opponent. They were joined by Wyoming, who fell to North Dakota 24-13, and Army, who dropped their matchup with Fordham 37-35.
For Kansas, it took a comeback effort just to avoid their loss to South Dakota State being a blowout. Just under two-and-a-half minutes into the second quarter, South Dakota State took a commanding 31-7 lead when quarterback Zach Lujan connected with Brady Mengarelli for a 29-yard touchdown strike. The Jayhawks fought back, scoring three consecutive touchdowns to close the gap to just 3, but the Jackrabbits proved too much for Kansas to handle and held on for the win.
In another one-sided affair, North Dakota carried a two-touchdown lead into halftime against Wyoming, en route to a 24-13 victory. The UND squad tallied three touchdowns before Wyoming could even get on the scoreboard. The North Dakota defense held the Cowboys to just 41 yards rushing, while their offense hustled for 276 yards on the ground, led by running back John Santiago who had 148 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries.
In the most closely contested matchup of an FBS team losing to an FCS team, the Fordham Rams held off Army, denying a two-point conversion attempt with two-and-a-half minutes remaining in the fourth quarter to lock down a 37-35 win. Fordham quarterback Kevin Anderson aired it out for 322 yards passing, while running back Chase Edmonds rumbled for three touchdowns en route to victory.

Today was kimjang. What's that you ask? Well only the fun packed kimchee-making event that the whole family gets together for every year…the whole family except for Mr. Lee, who was doing his family duty to his company. Cause…company trumps family 90% of the time whether the worker wants that or not.
So I went alone, and I have to say…life is SO much less awkward with the inlaws – any inlaws I think – regardless of culture – if you have your hands almost elbow deep in kimchee brine and red pepper paste. When Westerners say they want to have a good 'relationship' with their inlaws, I think they mean they want to be able to feel comfortable, communicate well, and enjoy being around each other. I'm not saying that Westerners don't have physical obligations to their inlaws and that Koreans don't want to converse with their inlaws like their own family members, but here filial piety is more of a verb. And when you can't have fluent conversations with your inlaws, it's actually quite comforting to be forging a relationship based on cutting up kat and packing baekchu with spicy filling.
As usual, the inlaws were a bit hesitant at first…can she cut? Oh no…she's going too fast…might hurt herself. Oh no…sit on the chair not the floor! Foreigners can't sit on the floor. Can she mix? But she's mixing…oh my! The foreigner can mix the kimchee paste!!! AND look at her! She's packing the kimchee very well in the containers! Who would have thought?
I recall this with love.
FIL also tried to get in on the fun. But I could tell he had no real life experience in kimchee making. I would ask him a vocab word for something…or a verb for what he was doing, and he would use the wrong one and get corrected by MIL. And he packed one piece of cabbage with kimchee paste and then promptly gave up. Mostly he was the lifter of buckets of packed kimchee. I'm not sure why he sort of takes part in cooking when I'm around. He is certainly not the cook of the family, and I highly doubt he has ever made a meal by himself. I'm not sure if it's because my presence makes him vaguely rethink the gender roles that have always just happened in the house, if he thinks, 'hey…the foreigner is doing it…maybe it's not that hard,' or if he just enjoys seeing me learn to be more Korean. But it's kind of cute, and MIL summed it up well when she said, 'Wow! This kimchee! Made by me, and eldest daughter-in-law, and Msleetobe AND FIL.' Special kimchee indeed.
After everything is prepared, everyone splits up the kimchee and takes home their portion. When I saw the size of the container my MIL had prepared for us, I was a bit sceptical, but decided not to say anything because if I were to question how much kimchee we two need….with one of us a foreigner who rarely makes Korean food for herself, and the other a Korean salaryman who rarely eats outside of the office….but to state those facts might make me look like a bad wife. But after lugging it home, I realized that we really should have bought a fridge with a larger in built kimchee fridge. Cause this container…doesn't fit.
You can't just leave kimchee in the regular fridge because a) it has to be at a different temperature than both fridge and freezer food or it will go bad b) you really don't want the rest of the fridge smelling like kimchee. Been there done that in my first few weeks in Seoul. So, we bought a fridge with a kimchee fridge built in to minimize appliance space while still being practical. Anyway, then I had to unpack all the tightly packed kimchee rolls, measure out the fridge space, and attempt a complicated jigsaw of tiny containers each with their own small portions of kimchee in them. So now, not only am I a kimchee making wife, I am a kimchee fridge packing wife. Two good skills I've developed today!
It honestly was a good day. I got to hang out alone with the family while doing something…making something which is what I've been advocating for a while in order to facilitate a stronger bond between my brother-in-law's wife, MIL and myself…I learned a new skill…I got to participate in an age-old Korean tradition, AND I got to make my own food. My grandmas stopped canning when I was about 9 and they moved off their farms, and I've always looked back with some nostalgia at those times hanging out with the grandmas in the kitchen while they were surrounded by canning jars or mountains of fruits and vegetables. It's nice to have that connection to my past which is also somehow my future.
Now we just have to find something to do with all this kimchee….anyone hungry? it's healthy…..

Safety Eyewear
Prescription Safety Eyewear Meeting ANSI Z87.1 Standard
Safety eyewear is an important piece of safety equipment and is required gear in manufacturing and construction.
Important Reasons To Provide Prescription Safety Eyewear To Your Employees:
- Significant OSHA fines have been imposed on businesses where safety violations found. All you need is one whistleblower or disgruntled employee to get an inspection by OSHA. If you are in compliance, you'll have nothing to worry about.
- Employees are more likely to be compliant when the eyewear is comfortable and in their prescription. Goggles over glasses are uncomfortable and employees frequently and conveniently forget to use them.
- Employees that see well are more accurate, make fewer mistakes, and have fewer accidents. Safety eyewear, properly fit, and in the employees Rx will give them the best vision. Goggles over glasses introduce smudges and reflections which reduce accuracy and safety.
- Job site injuries upset workflow and reduce productivity. You may have to dispatch several people to seek medical attention for a single worksite eye injury.
- Injured workers will need recuperation time, and may need to be replaced. Replacement and training can be a significant burden. And injury claims may affect your disability insurance rating.
Trades That Benefit From A Safety Eyewear Program

- Construction
- Machinists
- Landscapers
- Masons

- Plumbers

Online casinos give gamblers full casino experience from their home which many people find very comfortable. Players can bet for their favorite teams or play slots anytime they have a bit of free time. Playing with friends or strangers contributes to the gaming experience, without ever leaving you alone. You can make a lot of friends to play with and have tons of fun. However, if you prefer to play alone that is not a problem at all.
Casino news are mandatory for every gambler out there. They can result in a great profit from a total beginner. Knowing where to find the best deals, bonuses and fair casinos can be a big deal for every gambler because they can improve the gambling style of any player. Knowing the latest new can help gamblers in every possible aspect of gambling.
There are a lot of scammers in the gambling community, because of all the money involved in it. Getting scammed is not that much of a trend in online casino fields but gamblers should be responsible when it comes to depositing money in different casinos. Scammers tend to give worse betting odds than legitimate casinos and often don't let you withdraw the profit you have made.
Casino news can inform you about the newest casino laws. Gambling is taken very seriously by all the governments around the world. They try to prevent underage gambling and all sorts of gambling addictions. If you violate their laws even without your knowledge, The fines can be enormous, depending on what you have done.

Another great way to use news for your advantage is following newsletters. They often give loyal players a lot of deals, which are not available to regular customers. Casinos can't afford to give great deals to all of their players. That's why they often give the best deals only to the most loyal part of the community.

Android: On{x} is an Android app from Microsoft (yes, Microsoft) for creating rules that automate your smartphone. It's like Tasker and Locale, except it's free, and you create the rules on the On{x} website with "recipes" or templates.
Recipes include things like reminding you to visit the gym if you haven't been there for three days, automatically sending your location to someone when they text you "where?", and opening a random Wiki page when you unlock your screen.
The web app is really easy to use and has a very elegant user interface. A dashboard and log also show you all events created and executed.

College football is very popular in America and even around the world and we have a full College Football Betting Guide.
There are a divisions of College Football, Division 1, 2, 3, and NAIA, but most of the betting options are for Division 1. There are 130 college teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). 124 of the teams play in the 10 conferences while there are six teams that are independent without a conference.
The goal of the teams in college football is to make a bowl game and with the ultimate goal being to be the National Champion. There are 40 end-of-the-season bowl games where to qualify a team must have, at least, a .500 record.
In 1998 the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) was established and that has had no lack of controversy of the years. All season there are the top 25 rankings for the teams and near the end of the season are the BCS rankings.
At the very end of the season the top four teams in the BCS rankings face off with 4th vs 1st and 2nd vs 3rd-ranked teams facing off in the College Football Playoff with the winners then playing in the National Championship Game.
2019 College Football Predictions
We will have all the big games covered, starting with Week 1. See below for our latest College Football Predictions.
Georgia Tech vs. Clemson College Football Predictions
Utah vs. BYU College Football Predictions
Oregon Ducks vs. Auburn Tigers College Football Predictions
Middle Tennesse vs. Michigan College Football Predictions
Northwestern vs. Stanford College Football Predictions
College Football Bet Types
In terms of betting there are many betting options throughout the season, but there are many more betting options for the bowl games and especially for the College Football Playoff.
Spread Betting
The spread is the most popular way to bet on college football games where the favorite in the game will be giving points while the underdog will be giving points. For example, if you see a game with Alabama -4.5 vs. Clemson +4.5 you see that Alabama is favored in the game by 4.5 points denoted by the – in front of the number.
They will have to win the game by over five points to be the winning bet and conversely by betting on Clemson they have to win or lose by less than five points. If the game is Alabama 36 Clemson 30 Alabama would be the winning bet, as they won by at least five points while Clemson would be the losing bet.
There is also the moneyline for college football where all you have to do is pick the winner. However, with no spread showing the favorite or underdog there are inflated odds. So, by betting on the favorite you are betting more to win less and by betting on the underdog you are betting less to win more, as this balances the scales since you are just picking the winner in the game.
Totals Betting
The totals bet is simple to understand, as a sportsbook will set a total for a game on the total amount of points scored in the game by both teams and you bet Over or Under that number.
For example, if USC is playing Notre Dame and the total of the game is posted at 70.5 and the final score of the game is USC 40 Notre Dame 35 the total number of points scored is 75, so the over is the winning bet and the under is the losing bet.
NOTE: For both the spread and the total many times you will see a .5 after the spread or total. A half a point, obviously, cannot be scored, but it makes it so there is no tie in the bet. If there is no .5 such as Georgia -3 vs. Tennessee and Georgia beats Tennessee 27-24, which is the 3-point spread, the bet is a push and you get your original stake back.
Parlay Betting
A parlay bet is several bets in one, as you bet on several games in one bet and you have to win all of the games to win the wager. The more games you play the better the payout is, but it is more difficult to win multiple games.
You can use totals and the spreads in parlays and, again, if you have a four-game parlay bet you have to pick every game as a winner for the bet to payout.
There are also other various parlays such as pleasers and teasers where you can move the total and spreads for games, but that will depend on the rules of the sportsbooks and if they offer those kinds of bets.
Exotic Betting
A couple of exotic bet types are proposition bets, known as prop bets, and futures bets. A prop bet is one that has nothing to do with the outcome of the game.
There are both player and team prop bets and a few examples are will Alabama score over/under 21 points in the first half, will there be a TD in the first five minute, which team will score first, and will quarterback from team A have more passing yards than quarterback from team B.
These are just a few examples of prop bets and there are many more available for bigger games especially bigger bowl games and especially for the College Football Playoff.
For the National Title there are tons of prop bets some that are pretty wild such as will there be a safety scored in the game or betting the over/under time of the National Anthem.
College Football Futures' Betting
In a futures' bet you are betting on the future outcome. A few examples of a college football futures bet are which team will win the National Championship, which team will win the Pac 12 Conference, and which player will win the Heisman Trophy.
Bettors can make futures bets before the season and during it as well. For the national title a sportsbook will have odds for all the teams to win it and you pick your team with the odds and if they win you win.
If you make futures bets in-season the odds will change. For example, if at the beginning of the season Notre Dame has great odds to win the National Title, but if they lose an early game it makes that less likely so the odds will reflect that.
The odds you get at the time you make the bet are the ones you are locked in on no matter how much they change during the season.

Covered California & The Health Law
States That 'Went All-In' On Health Law Have Half As Many Uninsured As Those That Didn't
The disparity can largely be explained by the expansion of Medicaid.
Modern Healthcare:
Uninsured Rates Lower In States That Run Their Own ACA Exchanges
The average uninsured rate in states that use the federal HealthCare.gov exchange is nearly double that of states that set up their own public health insurance exchanges, data released by the CDC shows.In the first six months of 2017, HealthCare.gov states had an average uninsured rate of 16.1%, while states with their own exchanges—like California and Colorado—had an average uninsured rate of 8.3%. The disparity in coverage in states that use HealthCare.gov and those with state-based exchanges can be explained, at least in part, by Medicaid expansion. (Livingston, 11/20)

A Record Low 6.8% Of Californians Lack Health Insurance, Figures Show
The percentage of Californians without health insurance reached a record low 6.8 percent during the first six months of 2017, according to new estimates from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The figure, released Thursday, is down slightly from the 7.2 percent uninsured rate from a year ago, which was at the time a record low — and significantly lower than the 17 percent uninsured rate in 2013, before the Affordable Care Act took effect.

Drugs Made In Mexican 'Superlabs' Are More Potent Than Ever, Fueling The Addiction Epidemic
Ten years ago, the average gram of meth available in the U.S. was 39% pure. Today, it is being sold in a nearly pure state, manufactured in Mexican "superlabs" and smuggled across the border to feed an epidemic of addiction. The drug is being peddled alongside fentanyl, a synthetic opioid 50 times stronger than heroin, and carfentanil, an elephant tranquilizer that can kill a human with just a speck or two. (Davis, 11/20)
Los Angeles Times:
For Opiate Addiction, Study Finds Drug-Assisted Treatment Is More Effective Than Detox
Say you're a publicly-insured Californian with an addiction to heroin, fentanyl or prescription narcotics, and you want to quit. New research suggests you can do it the way most treatment-seeking addicts in the state do — by undergoing a medically-supervised "detoxification" that's difficult, expensive and highly prone to failure.

Health Nominee Reaped Big Earnings From Drug Industry Tenure
Newly disclosed financial records show that President Donald Trump's nominee to become Health and Human Services secretary reaped big earnings during his tenure as a top pharmaceutical executive.

597 Days. And Still Waiting.
Webster County, Miss. — On the 597th day, the day he hoped everything would change, Joe Stewart woke early. He took 15 pills in a single swallow. He shaved his head. And then he got down to the business of the day, which was the business of every day, and that was waiting. He looked outside, and saw his mother there in a green sedan, engine running.

Facing 'Hard Decisions,' Health Centers Plead For Restored Funding
Community health centers are scrambling to make contingency plans as they anxiously wait to see if Congress will renew billions of dollars in federal funding that expired on Sept. 30. Often situated in medically underserved areas, the health centers provide care to some 26 million of the nation's most vulnerable people. They're required to take any patient who seeks care, regardless of whether they can pay. (Roubein, 11/21)
Funding Cuts To Hospitals Imminent Unless Congress Acts
Billions of dollars in cuts to a federal program that helps hospitals cover the cost of caring for the uninsured will begin to take effect in a matter of weeks if Congress does not delay them. The House recently included a postponement in cuts to what's known as disproportionate share hospital, or DSH, payments in its bill to reauthorize funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program (HR 3922). But the Senate hasn't followed suit thus far, leaving hospitals in the dark about whether they will start to see funding slashed in the first quarter of 2018. (Williams, 11/20)

New Gene Treatment Effective For Some Leukemia Patients
A new way of genetically altering a patient's cells to fight cancer has helped desperately ill people with leukemia when every other treatment had failed, researchers reported on Monday in the journal Nature Medicine. The new approach, still experimental, could eventually be given by itself or, more likely, be used in combination treatments — analogous to antiviral "cocktails" for H.I.V. or multidrug regimens of chemotherapy for cancer — to increase the odds of shutting down the disease.

Our Bodies Are Full Of Bugs. This MIT Engineer Wants To Manipulate Them To Treat Disease
Our bodies are full of bugs. They're everywhere, hanging out on our skin, reproducing in our gut, growing on the glistening surface of our eyes. These bacteria, it turns out, don't just beget other bacteria. They also beget scientific paper after scientific paper, which, in turn, beget headline after headline. But for all our talk of microbiomes, we aren't all that great at shaping them, says Dr. Timothy Lu, an associate professor of biological engineering and electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

For those who served in the RVAH Community, their families, and friends!
OK, guys, catch your breath, this is my ex, Melodina. We married on 6/06/2006 (D-Day),and she suddenly divorced me on January 11, 2013. Turns out she changed after getting her citizenship in May, 2012, as she stopped sleeping with me, and no pootang! I was so lost without her, and suffered much pain and heartbreak since she left. She did text me several times that she was considering coming back, but those were on lies. Then just in early December, 2013 I learned she had been banging my neighbor since sometime in 2012. They were in an adulterous relationship,and I never doubted her,but did have some suspicions. But I have begun a process to get my sweet revenge. I contacted the Inspector General at his base since he is an E7 or E8 in the Army. I sent an email to the IG wherein I stated I was a retired PO1 in the USNR, and that I am familiar with the UCMJ Article 134, the General Article which addresses adultery and alienation of affection. As you know, the military frowns on behavior of this type, and many admirals, generals, and other officers and enlisteds have paid a big price for their actions. I demanded that a courts-martial investigation be begun,and the IG replied that he will initiate that. I said that if he is court-martialed and found guilty that he be reduced in rank to E2 and dishonorably discharged. Also, that my ex be fired from any job she has. If you recall,when Gen. Petraeous was found out about his affair with his biography, he immediately resigned and retired to pritect his pension. So if I can have this clown thrown out, it will be so great,and he will question if it was worth it to him to get his end wet with my wife?

Thank you, John. I was contacted by Army Capt. Alston Fuchs to get my information. I related everything that had happened and told him the name of the former workmate of my ex who confirmed they were having the affiar while she was married to me. I suggested some things for him to investigate to get more evidence but did not believe he would act on it. He stated that upon conclusion of his investigation he would type his report and pass it on the the Deputy Commanding Officer. A few weeks later I called him to suggest additional investigation info, but got his voice mail and he did not return my call. When I called again and was in touch with him he told me that he had completed his report and turned it into LtCnl Shawn McConnell, and he gave me the telno for the Cnl. I have called him at least four times over several weeks and left a message, but he is yet to answer my calls. The last time another Captain answered and promised to have someone call me to give me an update, but no calls have been sent to me. I even attempted to call Capt. Fuchs again but only got his voice mail and, of course, no return call. I am really frustrated by the Army over this, I feel they are just ignoring me. I threatened to write the Secy of Defense and Secy of the Army, and did send an email to the CBS-News 60Minutes program suggesting they do a segment on how the Army treats sexual abuse and moreso how they treat cases such as mine. Recently on the news it was reported how the General in the Army in charge of sexual abuse has, himself, been charged with sexual abuse and is being investigated. Then last week it was reported how another Army general who was being court martialed for adultery changed his plea to guilty and received minor punishment. This really pissed me off as I told the Inspector general when i first emailed my charges that I do not want to happen in my case what General Petraeous did when it became known about his affair with his biograper, he immediately resigned his position and retired, thus avoiding what justice should have been done. Also, per the UCMJ adultery is not a case for non-judicial punishment, but requires a court martial per Article 134. What pisses me off the most is that the Army doesn't want to recognise that I am the victim here. I think they are trying their best to save that bastard sargeant instead of seeing that justice is done. I told them I want to testify if there is a court martial, but the Army will not verify where he is station in the Chicago area, but moreso they will not confirm if they have interviewed him or my ex as I believe they should have done initially. When i first talked with Captain Fuchs, the investigator, I failed to give him the phone number of the woman who confirmed my charges so he could call her, and also the names of the other three workmates who helped to hide the affair. So this is the latest on the case and my next step is to write the two Secretaries to see if they will find what is going on and perhaps raise some hell. Im also hopeful that 60 Minutes will come through also, since I believe the public should have an idea what goes on in cases such as this, especially since the military supposedly frowns on this behavior and the effects on the public's view, and the recent news stories did not help the military when it comes to the public awareness and questions. My hope is that the sargeant, my neighbor, who was originally a Marine knew or should have known the rules, so he should pay the costs, I knew the rules!!!!
One additional piece of info for you. I retired from the army as a Major and have commanded several units. His commander can immediately give him a Article 15 which is nothing compared to a court martial. The commander could bust him one grade and/or fine him 7 days pay. That would be the end of it. He cannot be tried twice. Upon conviction of a General Court he is then classified as a felon.
A general Court Martial requires a Art 32 investigation, so if you are not contacted for a statement, you will know nothing is being done.

The usage of smartphones has been increasing with surprising speed. These smartphones are popular for delivery of video content. The main drawbacks of these smartphones are battery life and video freezing. Despite, while streaming a video it consumes large of amount of power affecting QoE. So, in this case we considered streaming a video from server to mobile client involving ONOFF characteristics. While streaming, there exists some transition delay while switching the power states and the effect of these transition delays might affect instantaneous power consumption of the smartphone.
Henceforth, this thesis aims to determine the effect on instantaneous power consumption from distributed state durations and transitions in exponential fluid flow model, for a streamed video. Power measurements along with ON and OFF times were measured with the help of a benchmark tool, Monsoon Power Monitor tool. VLQoE tool, a video streaming tool was used to present a two state model based on the inter-picture time, for the HTTP-based video streaming. Experiments were executed in a closed enclosure setup using a black-box to avoid external obstacles that might possibly affect the power consumption metrics. Considering these measurements, the effect on instantaneous power consumption stemming from the exponentially distributed state durations and transitions in the corresponding fluid flow model can be determined and modelled.
