AP Government Launches 100Mbps Broadband to Offices at Rs. 999, 15Mbps at Rs. 149

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday propelled the main period of Fiber Grid venture to give broadband network at shabby rate. 

Andhra Pradesh government marked a MoU with Cisco on Thursday as a major aspect of the initiation of India's first statewide broadband task 'AP FiberNet' in Visakhapatnam. 

Naidu said that computerized change was the most transformative intends to touch off maintainable development and enhance society. His administration's point was to give Internet association with all family units in the state as a component of Digital India battle, he said. 

Under the task, Internet associations would be given at modest rate in regions of Visakhapatnam, Srikakulam and Vizianagaram by April. It will cover whatever remains of the state by end of July this year. 

Under the venture, 15Mbps broadband association will be given at Rs. 149 every month to families and 100Mbps association for workplaces at Rs. 999 every month. Electrical shafts will be utilized to lay overhead fiber net link rather than underground link to save money on the expense. 

Official executive of Cisco John T Chambers said Cisco will set up an Internet of Everything (IoE) Innovation Center in Visakhapatnam to cultivate local development and will empower accomplices and new companies to construct arrangements around IoE and participate in quick prototyping.

Scientists found the new natural source of energy - Spore Energy

Source: Youtube

The scientists from Columbia university has come-up with some idea that is not usual. A method of extracting the energy from the natural process called Evaporation. The spores which are dry,dormant bacteria. They expand when they absorb moisture and contract when they lose the moisture. The scientists took it as an opportunity. By controlling the moisture content the movement can be controlled . But as the spores are very small and is about a micron long. To make an inch, twenty-five thousand of them have to be laid end to end. So, the scientists made a device to bridge the gap between impossibly tiny to small, to power devices. The devices are initially a toy car to demonstrate that the idea will work.

Does Tractor waves/Beams exists in real?

Source : Youtube.com

Tractor Beam has been a science fiction until certain time. It was the feeling that they are like a  hypothetical beam of energy which can be used to move objects or levitate.

But recent research has shown that sound waves can levitate ( suspend particles) object of different shape,size and material through water,air and tissue. This invention help us to manipulate cells, body fluids, liquids, compounds of different parts without touching or contaminating them. Accessing some of the parts by physical touch can lead to infections. By this invention, the former problems can be eliminated. However, Levitation using acoustic waves requires targets to be enclosed with acoustic elements. The acoustic structures shaped like tweezers,twisters or bottles emerge as the optimum mechanisms for tractor beams. This type of transportation is called container-less transportation. This helps in transporting target drug to the living tissues without disturbing any other tissues.

Levitation of particles of a wide range through air will happen when the radiation forces exerted by the acoustic waves form a acoustic trap and converge.

Do you know the Worlds lightest metal ?

       

         The name of the world lightest structural material known to science as of today is Metallic micro lattice. It is a synthetic porous metallic material. It consists of ultra-light metal foam.The credit goes to the scientists from California- based HRL laboratories. The prototype shown in the picture is made out of nickel-phosphorous alloy. It is one of the world changing innovations. The application of this metal will be widely in automobile and aerospace. It has the density as low as 0.9 Kilogram per meter-cube. The composition of metallic micro-lattice is of network of interconnecting hollow struts. 

        The inspiration behind this innovation comes form the close examination of bone which consists of hollow honey comb structure. The meal based micro-lattice structure is significantly less dense than the rarest aerosol,ultralight foams. It exhibits high strength and high ability to absorb energy which make them their application in making shock absorbers.

Can Beer be used as a Fuel? Did u hear about BREWTROLEUM?

       The answer for this question is “YES”. Even though, it hears strange it is true. But Beer cannot be used directly as a fuel but its by-product can be used as fuel. The credit goes to New Zealand. It starts fueling cars using the by-product of beer.  The by-product is related to the yeast that is left over from the brewing process. 

        The good thing with this is that, this by-product when used in vehicles is producing 10% less carbon emissions than regular fuels. As an initial trial 300000 liter is produced and sold. The yeast slurry which otherwise is thrown out or fed to animals is recycled and turned into ethanol that can be used with regular petroleum.

           Generally, any fuel consists of 90% petroleum & 10% ethanol. But this ethanol is produced from beer. That is the greatness of this. Many of the persons feel that this is Eco friendly oil.

Sachin Tendulkar greatest after Don Bradman, says Ricky Ponting

      Former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting has rated Sachin Tendulkar as the all-time best batsman after Sir Donald Bradman, saying the maestro truly deserves to be called "great" at a time when the word is "bandied" about often.

"For me, he's the greatest batsman after Don Bradman.

"While I hold Brian Lara in high regard because of his match-winning ability, I don't think any batsman can achieve more out of the game than Sachin has," Ponting wrote in his forward for a book titled 'Tendulkar in Wisden: An anthology'.

"The word great is often bandied about, but great is something that's achieved over a long period of time. Sachin played 200 Tests and 463 ODIs (and one Twenty20 International), scored 34,357 runs and 100 international hundreds -- that is great.

"Younger players may reach No.1 over a period of 12 or 18 months -- that's not great. That's having a good year. If you can do it as long as Sachin did, only then you be considered great," he further stated.

Ponting chose five words to describe the iconic cricketer -- "competitive, passionate, driven, composed, complete".

"Sachin is the greatest batsman I ever played with or against, because he made batting look so simple. His technique was always rock solid, but he still managed to take the game away from you really quickly. He was the most rounded batsman I have known," he wrote.

Tendulkar's hunger to achieve his dreams is what has impressed Ponting the most.

"His abiding love for the game and pursuit of goals were astonishing -- just to keep motivating yourself every day for 24 years to stay hungry and fit is what I admire so much. He had dreams of winning a World Cup, and he finally got to do it in his sixth tournament, in 2011."

Ponting felt it was impossible "anyone will ever play 200 Tests again, or score 100 hundreds" like Tendulkar did.

According to the Aussie legend, Tendulkar's contemporaries were constantly chasing the benchmarks he set.

"We were always always trying to play catch-up, and he always managed to stay ahead. It was an indication of his class. Even though he is a couple of years older than me, it seemed he would outlast me -- and he did."

One of Ponting's most cherished moments was to open the batting with Tendulkar, even if it did not last too long, "thanks to my poor form".

"It was good to talk to him about his batting philosophy, to get an insight into his mindset and fundamentals. I was also fortunate to get a real sense of his approach to batting -- the intricate attention paid to every detail about equipment, preparation, technique -- and it was unlike anything I had ever seen," said Ponting.

Ponting revealed that the Australian team at one point in time had spent hours coming up with plans for Tendulkar.

"...how we were going to bowl to him and, if we were lucky, get him out. He was not just a gifted batsman, but had the mental side of his game sorted out too.

"At Sydney in 2003-04, when he was going through rough time, he didn't play a single cover drive: I had immense appreciation for that level of discipline and determination.

"It's one thing to have a plan, but to go out there and execute it over the course of the innings that lasted 10 hours and 13 minutes, 436 balls and 241 runs was just incredible. And he was still not out at the end of it," Ponting recalled.

Ponting termed Tendulkar as a "mild-mannered guy" on and off the field.

"He was always a mild-mannered guy who never let his emotions get the better of him on the field. And that's what he's like off the field too -- calm and relaxed. But you can see he gets nervous around the changing room. I enjoyed sitting back and observing him -- he has his tics and superstitions," Ponting, who led Australia in 77 Tests and 247 limited-overs games, wrote.

Thanks to IPL, Ponting said that he got a chance to know Tendulkar better as a person.

"Over the last couple of years -- during my association with the Mumbai Indians -- I've got to know him better. ...it was a delight to get to know him away from the publicity's glare and over a glass of wine -- Sachin and I have done a lot of that over the last couple of years, and I think we've both been able to appreciate each other a lot more as a result," Ponting said.

He also applauded Tendulkar's ability to handle pressure of expectations of his billions of fans.

How do Wireless chargers work?

       Generally we used to get fed up with tangle cables. Introduction of wireless charging will solve this problem. This wireless charging works on the principle said by Physicist Nikola Tesla . He concluded that we can transfer power between two objects through an electromagnetic field in the late 1800’s , and by the 1900’s wireless charging devices has come into shape. For example like artificial hearts, electric toothbrushes.

     These days wireless charging can be used for mobiles, laptops, smart phones, tablets and even electric cars.

Is it so convenient?

       To use in the above said method, it is not efficient because most of the energy is lost in the form of heat. The device should be as close as the source. But through inductive type charging, all the above said problems can be resolved.
