Agahi to implement the Nokia-UNESCO Mobile Learning initiative to deliver quality education to teachers
Nokia Pakistan and UNESCO collaborate to launch Mobile Learning for Teacher’s in Pakistan using Nokia Education Delivery App to facilitate teacher training via mobile phones
Nokia Pakistan and UNESCO Islamabad launched the project “Mobile Learning Project for Teacher’s Professional Development” today as formal collaboration in the presence of senior government officials, Nokia representatives and UNESCO representatives. As part of this program, UNESCO and Nokia are joining hands, where Nokia is providing its mobile phones and its application “Nokia Education Delivery (NED) for UNESCO’s project on ‘use of ICT for professional development of public school teachers’ in remote areas.
Since 2011 NED has turned into an open source solution to improve livelihoods, and in order to support such mobile learning innovations to be filled with life in Pakistan, The project will be implemented by AGAHI, a UNESCO partner and a non-profit foundation working in the area of communication and media policy design.
Nokia developed NED to allow using a mobile phone to access and download videos and other educational materials from a constantly updated education library. Operating in hundreds of schools and having reached millions of students in the Philippines, Tanzania, Chile and Colombia, Nokia Education Delivery has been shown to improve study results and increase retention among students.
This collaboration is part of the agreement signed last year between UNESCO and Nokia at international level to promote the use of mobile technologies to further the objectives of “Education for All”. As part of this agreement Nokia is developing applications and new Mobile technologies offering access to information and enrich learning environments at global level.
In Pakistan, through the project “Mobile Learning for Teachers” Nokia’s Education Delivery application will help UNESCO to enable the delivery of high- quality educational materials to teachers who lack training and resources though mobile phones giving an opportunity to teachers to train themselves on the same level as professionally competent teachers.
Speaking about the project, UNESCO Director, Kozue Kai Nagata said, “In 21st century Public- private partnerships are enjoying growing attention and support as a new and sustainable modality for development. We are confident to collaborate with Nokia to provide us with the best platform to train public school teachers. Nokia Education Delivery is fit to match our need of delivering quality training to a large number of public school teachers across Pakistan through the project named “Mobile Learning for Teachers”
Amir Jahangir, President AGAHI and a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum, shared his views on the launch that “Pakistan is a knowledge starved country, where universal education has its own challenges. To meet the target of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) on education, Pakistan needs to address its education challenges through innovation and technology which can reach to a larger population with cost effective solutions”.
Speaking about the launch of NED program, Ulrike Vott Nokia Sustainability Manager for Middle East said, “Nokia Education Delivery facilitates education in a fun and interactive way. In addition to the NED software, Nokia offers program implementation support for the benefit of Pakistan’s education landscape.” The Nokia Education Delivery software system has two modules. The first module is installed on a Nokia mobile phone and contains a browse able catalog of educational videos. The second module is installed on the computer of the education administrator. It manages the organization’s mobile video library, so that videos can be added, deleted and updated. It also provides information on the usage of different videos.”
This unique pilot project for Pakistan has been initiated by UNESCO and AGAHI aims at using Mobile phones as medium for training teachers, where the teachers in remote areas will be equipped with devices, SIMs, a software solution and high quality educational content. The course for training and capacity building will be developed into video files and will be transmitted step by step according to curriculum on the phones provided to teachers. Over the course of the training period, teachers will be tested via SMS on regular basis and as an incentive, those who will score highest in tests will receive free mobile top ups. At the end of the course, test scores of all teachers will be aggregated and the passing teachers will be awarded certificate in the final workshop.

I've implemented a major performance improvement since the last time I posted.
In my earlier version, I always calculated diffuse and reflective light for a "fragment" and then scaled the results by the reflective coefficient (R) of the material.
Simplified, this is what I mean:
...
light += diffuse(..) * (1 - R)
light += reflecftive(..) * R
This means that when R is equal to 1, the material is a perfect mirror. Even so, this method would still perform the diffuse calculations and then scale that by 0. An incredible waste!
So in this new version I am treating R as a "probability" of a reflective ray to be calculated. For each sampling of a pixel, a random number between 0 and 1 is generated. For each intersection, I compare this random value to the R of the material. If the random value is greater than the reflective value, I perform the diffuse calculation. If not, I perform the reflective calculation.
This means that for a 100% reflective material (R = 1), no diffuse calculations will ever be performed. And likewise for a reflective coefficient of 0%, no reflective calculations will be performed.
For any value of R inbetween 0 and 1, a given ray will only perform one of the two calculations based on probability.
In this scene, I had a heartbreaking 1 FPS with by previous version. With this new approach I get around 10-11 FPS. Thats a tenfold performance increase!

OVERALL POWER CONSUMPTION OF DC MOTOR 75 WATT PER HOUR
Published on May 29, 2014
[[ A system to reduce power consumption in industry ]] by :- J S PASRICHA
1) Previously the machines had AC Clutch and AC Induction motor i.e. 400 Watt to 500 watt consumption per hour. Now, I have used DC motor 50 watt to 100 watt consumption per hours
.
2) The size of DC motor now is which is much smaller than the AC motor used previously. The size of the table has also been reduced accordingly.
3) The battery of 70 Ampere 12 volt can be charged with single solar panel of 75 Watt and this can work for 10 hours where there is no electricity/ rural areas.
4) In cities, AC to DC converter would be used to run the motor.
5) The DC motor can work on small invertors also.
Overall, the idea of operating industrial sewing machines on DC motors is very beneficial and this project would be helping many lives in future
I am a 51 years old business man working in the field of Industrial Sewing Machines since 1977, i.e. when my age was just 14 years. After passing my 8th class, I started operating Button Hole and Button Stitch machines. That time the cost of making one button hole and putting one button was 2 paisa each. The more button holes and buttons were stitched, the more money I would make. This was my only source of earning bread and butter, but at times I would end up earning nothing in the day because of electricity failures and operational dysfunctions in the machines for which there were hardly any repairers around at that time as the machines were not made in India . After making lot of efforts, I was able to understand and fix some of the common problems myself that occurred in the machines. This helped me to great extend as I was no longer dependent on getting the machines repaired from outside or buying new machines. But the problem of electricity failures persisted. However, there was no solution to this that time. I moved on in life and my business, gradually got into sale and servicing of all kinds of Industrial Sewing machines and progressed.
But I wished if I could still do something that could help people like me at large who are till date struggling great deal and ending up compromising on their bread and butter because these high-load industrial machines like Button Hole, Button Stitcher, Overlock, Bartake, Feedoarm, Double-needle, Zig-zag, Belt machine, Elastic inserting machine, Snap button machine etc. do not work without electricity. Each machine consumes about 400 Watt of electricity per hour. Using these industrial sewing machines on present day generators, invertors and solar plants is possible, but that requires huge investment, set-up and space. Consequently, the profit becomes small. So this was not a welcoming and exciting idea.
I was constantly thinking of some other way by which these high-load industrial sewing machines could perform on low-load/ less energy and should be portable so that it could be used anywhere, no matter that place is connected with regular power source or not.
The whole idea was to make these industrial sewing machines available, accessible and operational in the most under developed areas and also save energy. For discussions, understanding and research on this proposal, I visited companies in abroad during 2001, 2002, 2004, 2007 but they suggested that the power consumption can be reduced to 50% but this was not enough, as this meant that each machine would still consume 200 watt per hour. I aimed to reduce the power consumption by 80% so I continued making efforts. After lots of research and experiments, I have finally been able to achieve success. Now all such high-load industrial sewing machines could be operated only at the consumption of 75 Watt per hour.

We hit rural Kansas during the season when the farmers move all their farm implements around. That timing's not hard to manage, though; Kansas farmers are always moving their farm implements around. Farmers are busy people, but I wonder how much of their time is spent driving extremely slow vehicles great distances.
According to the Kansas Department of Agriculture, in 2017 (the most recent year listed on their web site) there were 58,569 farms operating in Kansas, cultivating a total of 45.7 million acres of Kansas, or 74,600 square miles. That works out to 66.3% of the land in Kansas being farm. The average size of a Kansas farm is 781 acres, and 84.6% of those farms are family owned and operated. In total, agriculture provides jobs for 254,000 Kansans, or about 13% of the workforce.
Trump's pointless trade war was particularly rough on Kansas farmers, and farm income dropped precipitously while bankruptcies increased by about 25% in both 2018 and 2019. According to a 2019 report from the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, about 40% of what money Kansas farmers did make in this period came from Federal assistance programs designed to mitigate the trade war's effect. So, essentially, Kansas farmers were living off government welfare. In the recent Presidential election, loser Donald Trump got 56.5% of the Kansas vote, beating President-elect Joe Biden by 201,759 votes. Using the logic the Republican Party frequently employs to explain the votes on the other side, this is because Kansas farmers like getting free stuff.

El Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible, con el apoyo del Programa de Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo (PNUD) y el financiamiento del Adaptation Fund del Protocolo de Kioto, implementó el proyecto de “Reducción del riesgo y de la vulnerabilidad al cambio climático en la región de La Mojana”, una apuesta que logró generar acciones que les permitieron a las comunidades de los municipios de San Benito Abad, San Marcos y Ayapel, enfrentar las inundaciones y sequías producidas por los efectos del cambio climático, a través de la implementación de medidas de adaptación en sus modos de vida.
Gracias a esta iniciativa, la Mojana, y los Municipios de San Benito Abad, Ayapel y San Marcos, cuentan ahora con una valiosa cantidad de información hidroclimatológica y un Sistema de Alertas Tempranas implementado coordinadamente con el IDEAM y CORPOMOJANA, que aporta información sin precedentes en otras regiones del país, para la planeación y tomar decisiones de política pública a nivel nacional, regional y local. En este sentido, se establecieron 11 estaciones de monitoreo climático, y se consolidaron 27 comités comunitarios para el monitoreo del Sistema de Alertas Tempranas, así como la creación del Centro de Pronósticos y Alertas que funciona en Corpomojana.
El proyecto logró también resultados significativos para las comunidades de la región de la Mojana, que implementaron medidas agroecológicas adaptables al cambio climático, que fomentan las prácticas tradicionales de producción más resilientes a los efectos del clima. Así mismo, apoyó el desarrollo de actividades productivas que permiten la diversificación de fuentes de alimentos que contribuyen a la seguridad alimentaria y generación de ingresos, con una participación directa de 2.000 familias. Se establecieron más de 270 hectáreas de sistemas agrosilvopastoriles, 1.900 huertas familiares adaptadas a posibles inundaciones y más de 80 hectáreas de cultivos orgánicos de maíz, fríjol, guandú, plátano y yuca.
Así mismo, junto con las comunidades, se propuso un diseño de vivienda y centro comunitario que incorporan criterios de adaptación y variabilidad climática. Como resultado se construyeron 11 centros comunitarios adaptados al cambio climático para la comunidad; se implementaron en más de 500 hogares sistemas de captación de agua lluvia para los tiempos de sequía y medidas de gestión del riesgo; se edificaron viviendas vernáculas con adaptaciones a las inundaciones y se estructuraron 14 centros educativos con medidas para proporcionar agua en tiempos de sequía para más de 200 niños.
Con el apoyo técnico del Instituto Alexander Von Humboldt- IAVH, el Proyecto construyó para la región, la planificación eco regional, que define los lugares y acciones necesarias para la restauración de ecosistemas, a partir de la Planificación para la restauración de ecosistemas de humedal. Se implementaron acciones de restauración impactando a 945 hectáreas, en los Municipios de Ayapel, San Benito Abad y San Marcos y 35 km de canales en 5 caños priorizados en el territorio, recuperando la capacidad de regulación y amortiguación de estos ecosistemas, reduciendo la vulnerabilidad de las comunidades, la flora y fauna nativa mojanera, frente a los impactos de inundaciones y sequías. Estas acciones beneficiaron a más de 4.500 personas y permitieron la instalación de 29 viveros temporales establecidos con una producción de más de 200 mil plantas, de las cuales cerca de 137 mil, fueron sembradas.
“Aquí aprendimos de todo, recibimos muchas capacitaciones y al final nosotras sacamos adelante este proyecto. Con el conocimiento hicimos los viveros, las restauraciones y las huertas, ahora acompañamos a otras comunidades para hacer lo mismo”, cuenta Juana Madariaga de la comunidad de Pasifueres.
Por otra parte se realizó el fortalecimiento Comunitario e Institucional, con el que se capacitaron 155 Promotores Rurales para la Adaptación territorial, incorporar consideraciones de Cambio Climático en 12 instrumentos de planificación, 38 organizaciones de base, 3 de ellas lideradas por mujeres y se instaló la Plataforma de Mujer Rural. Esta estrategia se trabajó de la mano con las alcaldías municipales, las universidades regionales y las autoridades ambientales con jurisdicción en el territorio.
“Para el Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible el trabajo realizado en la Mojana es un ejemplo para todo el país. Este proceso no sólo ha permitido a la región adaptarse a los efectos del cambio climático, sino tejer procesos de asociatividad que han permitido comprender con mayor facilidad los cambios presentados en la región y establecer las medidas necesarias para adaptarse y enfrentar temporadas de sequía o inundaciones”, Comentó el Ministro de Ambiente Carlos Correa.
Gracias a la experiencia y las lecciones aprendidas con el proyecto “Reducción del riesgo y de la vulnerabilidad al cambio climático en la región de La Mojana” se abre la puerta a una nueva iniciativa que escalará todas estas acciones para aumentar la resiliencia al clima y la sostenibilidad ambiental y social de las comunidades vulnerables en la región de La Mojana. Lo anterior, a través del proyecto Mojana Clima y Vida, liderado por el Fondo de Adaptación, con recursos del Fondo Verde para el Clima (GCF) que cobijará a los 11 municipios de la depresión Momposina, con el fin de aumentar la resiliencia y la sostenibilidad socioambiental para abordar los efectos del cambio climático, el uso sostenible de los recursos naturales y la gestión eficiente frente a los riesgos de desastres.
“Los logros alcanzados, no serían posibles sin el compromiso de las comunidades y el apoyo de la institucionalidad pública nacional, regional y local, en cabeza del Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible y de la local, gobernaciones, alcaldías y corporaciones ambientales, quienes han contribuido a que las medidas implementadas por el proyecto tengan resultados tangibles. Seguiremos trabajando en el fortalecimiento y generación de capacidades locales, que se materialicen en una planeación del desarrollo sostenible y compatible con el clima, y en la construcción de territorios resilientes y adaptados, concluyó Jimena Puyana, Gerente de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible. / Nov. 14, 2020.

Nokia developed NED to allow using a mobile phone to access and download videos and other educational materials from a constantly updated education library. Operating in hundreds of schools and having reached millions of students in the Philippines, Tanzania, Chile and Colombia, Nokia Education Delivery has been shown to improve study results and increase retention among students.
This collaboration is part of the agreement signed last year between UNESCO and Nokia at international level to promote the use of mobile technologies to further the objectives of “Education for All”. As part of this agreement Nokia is developing applications and new Mobile technologies offering access to information and enrich learning environments at global level.

Speaking about the project, UNESCO Director, Kozue Kai Nagata said, “In 21st century Public- private partnerships are enjoying growing attention and support as a new and sustainable modality for development. We are confident to collaborate with Nokia to provide us with the best platform to train public school teachers. Nokia Education Delivery is fit to match our need of delivering quality training to a large number of public school teachers across Pakistan through the project named “Mobile Learning for Teachers”
Amir Jahangir, President AGAHI and a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum, shared his views on the launch that “Pakistan is a knowledge starved country, where universal education has its own challenges. To meet the target of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) on education, Pakistan needs to address its education challenges through innovation and technology which can reach to a larger population with cost effective solutions”.
Speaking about the launch of NED program, Ulrike Vott Nokia Sustainability Manager for Middle East said, “Nokia Education Delivery facilitates education in a fun and interactive way. In addition to the NED software, Nokia offers program implementation support for the benefit of Pakistan’s education landscape.” The Nokia Education Delivery software system has two modules. The first module is installed on a Nokia mobile phone and contains a browse able catalog of educational videos. The second module is installed on the computer of the education administrator. It manages the organization’s mobile video library, so that videos can be added, deleted and updated. It also provides information on the usage of different videos.”
This unique pilot project for Pakistan has been initiated by UNESCO and AGAHI aims at using Mobile phones as medium for training teachers, where the teachers in remote areas will be equipped with devices, SIMs, a software solution and high quality educational content. The course for training and capacity building will be developed into video files and will be transmitted step by step according to curriculum on the phones provided to teachers. Over the course of the training period, teachers will be tested via SMS on regular basis and as an incentive, those who will score highest in tests will receive free mobile top ups. At the end of the course, test scores of all teachers will be aggregated and the passing teachers will be awarded certificate in the final workshop.

I pass this farm daily. The old haying implement in the field is for decoration or placed there as the effect of inertia. With the metal shed listing a bit and the heavy snowfall unsullied, the hay rake's skeletal appearance felt almost like an archeological find.

The Government of Alberta has directed Alberta Health Services (AHS) to proceed carefully in implementing a portion of their plan.
There will be no job losses for nurses or for other front-line clinical staff. Any reduction in full-time equivalent positions will be in keeping with proactive disclosures announced in the fall of 2019.
A minimum of 100 management positions will be eliminated and a full review of senior AHS executives will be completed before the end of the fiscal year.
Alberta’s government has directed that only a portion of the actions identified in the implementation plan proceed, changes that are expected to yield up to $600 million in annual savings.
“The pandemic has changed everything. As a result, AHS has been directed to proceed carefully, putting patient care above all else. As a first step, AHS has been directed to eliminate a minimum of 100 management positions and to proceed with previously announced contracting work. This approach will allow us to strike the right balance between supporting the COVID-19 response and Alberta’s challenging fiscal situation.” said Tyler Shandro, Minister of Health.
Plans to contract out laundry services and community lab services, both announced in 2019, will continue. Requests for proposals (RFPs) for these services will be issued before the end of the year. About 70 per cent of community lab services is currently provided by the private sector, while about 68 per cent of health-care laundry is already cleaned by the private sector.
AHS has been given the go ahead to proceed with developing business cases for both environmental and food preparation services in 2022 and 2023. Both business cases will be subject to review and approval by the Government of Alberta.
AHS will also streamline non-clinical and back office operations, including optimizing distribution and inventory management and strengthening staff scheduling and overtime management systems. Job losses will be minimized in these areas.
“Alberta’s response to the pandemic has been the primary focus of the entire health-care system over the past seven months. The care and well-being of Albertans will always be our first priority. We remain fully committed to continuing to improve the financial sustainability of the organization, and will implement some of the review recommendations in a strategic and paced approach that ensures front-line health-care workers and Albertans are supported throughout the pandemic.” said Dr. Verna Yiu, president and CEO, Alberta Health Services.
