![]() In March 2016, the CATCHPLAY+ service platform made its pilot launch in Taiwan in partnerships with major telecommunication operators and device manufacturers. In addition to content aggregation, in 2015, CATCHPLAY established AsiaPlay Incorporated with the ambition of becoming the leading premium content service provider for movie lovers in Asia. Today, we are the largest provider for premium movie content in Taiwan, aggregating content from Hollywood studios including Disney, Warner Bros., NBC Universal and Paramount in addition to having a wide selection of international independent films and leading local productions for distribution on major operators’ digital platforms. Today, CATCHPLAY continues to look into investment and co-production opportunities internationally and in Asia targeting particularly Chinese-speaking territories and South East Asia following our recent expansion footprints.ĬATCHPLAY started placing significant emphasis on the development of digital movie content years before the others did in Taiwan. In the same year, CATCHPLAY also provided financing and local production support to director Martin Scorsese’s passion project Silence, making it the first international production filmed entirely in Taiwan. CATCHPLAY and partners also control exclusive distribution rights to these films in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong and Macau, with The Revenant generating outstanding box office results from these territories in 2016. ![]() In early 2015, we closed a partnership deal to invest in New Regency’s three enthralling titles, namely The Revenant, Assassin’s Creed and Splinter Cell, marking the first investment of a Taiwanese company in major Hollywood productions. ![]() Both investments generated considerable box office performance in Taiwan and China respectively. In the same year, we invested in the locally produced film, Paradise in Service and co-produced 20 Once Again with CJ Entertainment for the Chinese market. In 2014, in addition to distributing the movies CATCHPLAY loves, we embarked in earnest co-production and investment projects, venturing into content creation.

With 95 percent of its clients being involved in the sector, food and beverage is Cardinal’s core business – something to which Furness feels an affinity. Whilst the Cardinal client base is approximately 60, there is a concentrated core group of leading FMCG customers which allows Furness to interact meaningfully with all of them. “We want to achieve our financial targets by operating safely and delivering for our staff, customers and the environment.” “As an accountant, I’m focused on the bottom line,” he said. I think of us as a data management company that operates warehouses and trucks.”Īlthough he’s only been in the role since February, Furness wants Cardinal to engage with like-minded organisations to create a more efficient logistics network in New Zealand, ultimately benefiting everyone. I don’t see Cardinal as a logistics company. “Technology and the data delivered is a key platform to reduce the emotion and deliver better outcomes. “There are smart people in the whole supply chain, but the motivations can be different,” said Furness. Waste leads to margin erosion for logistics companies, higher stock costs for customers, which leads to higher food prices, which leads to frustrated stores and even more frustrated end consumers. “There are a lot of players in the supply chain, there are many things that can go wrong, which creates waste along the way in a tight margin environment”. The small, narrow country is matched by its small, narrow motorways – having the Cook Straight running through the middle doesn’t particularly help either. The challenge is particularly daunting in a country like New Zealand, which offers unique logistical hurdles. “The challenge is to integrate and align the various stakeholders and platforms.” ![]() “New Zealand, as a whole, has a great opportunity to innovate logistics and the technology for better outcomes for everyone,” he said. His return to New Zealand could be described as shaky – the main reason being the decision to relocate his young family to Christchurch at the end of 2009 – and compounded by finding similar issues with logistics systems to those he had just left behind. He later co-founded an IT company with the intention of harnessing technology to improve supply chain processes. Working for Walmart Africa, he found that the entirely manual system simply wasn’t up to standard. “I’m not going to say which age group, but it was at the lower end,” he said.Ī trained accountant, Furness stumbled into the supply chain industry while working in South Africa. A stellar logistics career has run alongside a stint in professional tennis in Germany, an appearance at the Australian Open, peaking at last years’ World Masters Games, where Furness was crowned champion for his age group. Although he’s reluctant to admit it, Cardinal Logistics CEO Brendon Furness is, in fact, a world-beater. ![]() The interface displays the pool of devices detected on the network to make it easy to assign IP address for the fixtures. ![]() GrandVJ XT can send layer or cells output to virtual surfaces that can be scaled, deformed, and assigned to any physical output. ![]() The LEDMapper supports unicast to reduce the load on the network and so allows to drive many LED fixtures.

Some users of the DJI Digital FPV Goggles find that the goggle strap is either uncomfortable or has an unnecessary third strap on the top. If you are purchasing these for the caddx vista make sure to purchase the U.FL variant. If you are purchasing these for the air unit make sure to purchase the mmcx variant. You can check out the TrueRC Blaze antennas here. This is a fun upgrade that adds a very bright LED to your antennas and also increases performance. Another upgrade includes the blaze series of antennas from TrueRC. Keep in mind that this longer antenna has an SMA connector so you will have to buy a sma to mmcx adapter ( ) to make them compatible with the air unit. The same antenna is also made in a longer version specially designed for better coverage in long-range flights Lumenier AXII 2 Long Range 5.8GHz Antenna. The Lumenier AXII 2 MMCX 5.8GHz Antenna has better coverage, bandwidth, and overall better performance. The air unit comes with some decent antennas, but they are not of the highest quality or performance. Some great patch antenna options for the DJI Digital FPV Goggles include the Lumenier AXII HD Patch 5.8GHz Antennas which give great performance in a very small and convenient form factor, and the TrueRC X-AIR MK II 5.8GHz Antenna (LHCP) which provide excellent range in a relatively small form factor. The DJI Digital FPV Goggles do not come with patch antennas so these are an essential upgrade for anyone doing long-range flying or trying to fly behind buildings and other objects. Patch antennas are great for long-range applications or situations that need greater penetration than cannot be provided by omnidirectional antennas. ![]() Beam width measures the amount of coverage provided by the antenna. Patch antennas (directional antennas) differ from omnidirectional antennas in that they provide more gain in a smaller beam width and are also typically larger. Some good upgrades include the TrueRC Singularity Stubby 5.8GHz Antenna and the Lumenier AXII HD Stubby 5.8GHz Antenna which both aim to reduce the size of the antenna and increase performance in range and coverage. The DJI Digital FPV goggles come with Omni-directional antennas which function well, but there are some better upgrades that can further improve performance. This makes them great for most racing and freestyle applications. Omni-directional antennas have low gain, but good coverage. This measure of range and penetration is often known as gain and can be found in the key specs of every antenna. Omni-directional antennas typically have very good coverage (almost 360 degrees), but limited range and penetration in comparison to patch antennas. These antennas differ in their coverage, range, and size. There are a couple of different types of common antenna upgrades for the DJI Digital FPV goggles known as omnidirectional antennas, and directional antennas (patch antennas).

The DJI Digital FPV System is great but has some room for improvement in a few different categories including the antennas, goggle strap, cable holder, camera lens, and camera lens protector. The Best Upgrades For The DJI Digital FPV System Map indicating the territories colonized by the European powers over the Americas in 1750. In 1754, Spain and Portugal were leading nations in the colonization of America as a result of being leading seafaring nations. The British, French, and Dutch conquered the islands of the Caribbean Sea, many of which had already been conquered by the Spaniards or depopulated by disease. They quickly conquered most of South and Central America and large parts of North America. When Christopher Columbus reached America in 1492, the first conquests were made by the Spaniards. It was thus through the Arabs that the ancient Greek geography was rediscovered, and for the first time European sailors gave an idea of the shape of Africa and Asia. When the carrack and the caravel were developed by the Portuguese, the Europeans again began to dream of the fantastic East, and the thought of finding a shortcut there took root.īoth used Mediterranean lateen sails which made the ships much more manoeuvrable. The European economy was dependent on gold and silver, but small domestic supplies had led large parts of Europe into a recession. It explains the main reason why the age of discovery began it was due to a severe shortage of gold in Europe. ![]() Monetarism is a set of views based on the belief that the total amount of money in an economy is the main cause of economic growth. Columbus continued to believe this all his life. Since Columbus and the other colonists did not know the American continent, they thought they had come to Asia. It is believed that he was born in Genoa. The Age of Discovery was a period from the early 15th century and continued into the early 17th century when European ships travelled around the world in search of new trade routes and partners to feed the burgeoning capitalism of Europe.Ĭhristopher Columbus was a navigator and maritime explorer who is one of several historical figures credited as the discoverer of America. The junk was later developed steadily over the centuries, and the sea-going ships were to be the best sailing vessels in the world until the 16th century. Chinese Junk Keying, is an example of a Chinese commercial ship employing the junk rig. The junks historically date back to the Han dynasty from 220 BC to 220 AD, and were first used as sea ships as early as the second century AD. Columbus’ ship, the Santa María, was a famous example of a carrack.Ī junk is a Chinese sailing vessel that is considered one of the most successful ship types in history with a huge number of variants. The carrack was another type of ship that was invented in the Mediterranean in the 15th century.

The longship was a type of ship that was developed over a period of centuries and perfected by the most famous user, the Vikings, in about the 9th century. The hull was built using wooden plugs without iron nails and several planks to withstand the heavy seas. Jong, a type of large sailing ship from Nusantara. Various ships were in use in the Middle Ages. A nautical chart is a graphic representation of an ocean or coastal area. The early maps were oriented with the east as the top, for religious reasons. The oldest known map dates back to 12,000 BC. By a wheel device that uses a differential equipment that allowed a fixed figure to always point in the southern cardinal direction. 200-265 AD) invented a device with a needle pointing south. To navigate the sea, the compass is absolutely necessary. Chinese ocean-going ships are based on Austronesian ship designs that traded with the eastern Han dynasty since the 2nd century AD. The oldest known examples of vessels were so-called longships dated to around 190 AD.Ĭhina began building sea-going ships in the 10th century during the Song Dynasty. ![]() Northern European Vikings also developed sea-going vessels and depended on them to travel to overseas countries before 1000 AD. They also introduced sailing technologies to these regions. “Doldrums”, is a popular nautical term that refers to the belt around the earth near the equator where sailing ships sometimes get stuck in calm waters.Īustronesians on the islands of Southeast Asia and the Pacific, regularly traded with China, South Asia, and the Middle East before 1000 BC, based on maritime transport. The air can only move within a Hadley cell therefore, a certain wind movement pattern occurs. They have been used by captains of sailing ships to cross the world’s oceans for centuries, enabling the great migrations to America and trade routes to be established across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The trade winds blow mainly from the northeast in the northern hemisphere and from the southeast in the southern hemisphere. Trade winds are the permanent east-west winds that flow in the earth’s equatorial region. ![]() ![]() The college had a neat colonial style building with a hall for meetings and a spacious lawn in front. Sometime around that time it was upgraded to University College. I joined the co-educational Government College Hoshiarpur for BA in 1949. My father admonished her telling her not to forget that we were given asylum by one of the persons who followed that book. At home, my eldest sister asked agitatedly why I had brought a copy of the book that had brought so much ruin upon us. While doing so I also picked up a copy of the Quran as a gift for my father since his own had been left behind in Pakistan. In Garh Shankar, where my father was posted, a member from each refugee family was allowed to pick up the needed household items from an evacuee property. I did my intermediate from DAV College Jalandhar, where the two- year course was compressed into about 18 months. We sat down for a langar on the left of the platform, while the dead bodies were being cremated a few yards away on the left. Nine dead bodies were recovered from our train. Any picture of a typical refugee train would show how we travelled. Escaping repeated attacks, our heavily guarded train reached Amritsar on 21st October 1947. For the last month of our stay there, a kind Muslim colleague of my father, gave us refuge in the cantonment in his son’s house which he vacated for our sake. I was a topper.Īt the time of Independence, we were in Rawalpindi and were stuck there till 18 October 1947. I did my schooling in DAV and Government High Schools in Lahore viagra en tunisie. I had therefore to depend upon one of my siblings to enable me to show off my proficiency. Those days it was treated merely as an accompanying instrument. It was decided that I was not good enough vocal music, and so was pushed on to tabla. All of us were given elementary tuition in classical Indian music. After Shimla we lived mostly in Lahore in a suburb called Dharam Pura. My earliest memories begin with the sanitized town of Shimla where we spent the first seven years of my life. Soon after my birth he was transferred to Shimla. My father was a lecturer in the Government Junior College there. I was born in Hoshiarpur on 23 March 1932.

In comparison, the MacBook runs on a Macintosh operating system that remains true to its roots while getting a number of upgrades over the years macOS is simple to use and offers a lot of customizability that you can’t get on the iPad. While it can’t make a normal phone call, it does offer FaceTime and iMessage. Moreso, the iPad features almost all of the same apps as the iPhone. If you are an iPhone user, then you will likely enjoy just how similar the operating system is. Some users love its simplicity, while others hate its simplicity. The iPad’s operating system is a hotly debated topic. However, some still feel that the lack of a traditional interface is frustrating, and, in reality, an iPad won’t replace a computer. While that may be a hindrance to some, the iPad’s simple interface makes up for its limited uses. The limiting factor for the iPad, though, is that it requires specific apps and cannot run traditional software. The iPad gets very close to a MacBook when paired with an Apple Magic Keyboard. While it doesn’t have a trackpad or keyboard, you can purchase really high-quality ones that work with it. But today, the iPad is a solid alternative to a MacBook. In the early days of the MacBook, its features and usability were very limited to essentially that of a large iPhone or iPod Touch. While that may be partially true, the iPad fits in a weird spot between the iPhone and MacBook products. An iPad, on the other hand, is a tablet that is often described as a large iPhone. A MacBook is a traditional laptop that deviates little from what a consumer expects. The glaring difference between an iPad and a MacBook is how you use them. Strangely enough, these two devices are closer in price than you may think. However, nothing can replace the inputs and power of an actual laptop. The iPad is much more limited in use, but there are a number of accessories that make it operate like a computer. The difference in operating systems means that each device also runs very different programs. The two devices run on very different operating systems, with the iPad resembling a mobile device, and the MacBook running on a conventional computer operating system. The iPad is a tablet device, whereas the MacBook is a computer. IPads and MacBooks each offer great features that target different types of users. ![]() Mac App Store and User-Installed Applications Either way, both are great devices that will provide a great experience. You should carefully consider the two devices to find out which one is the best for you. Unlike the iPad, it has a built-in keyboard and trackpad, but it doesn’t have a touchscreen. MacBooks run on Apple’s macOS operating system, which supports everyday tasks. ![]() On the other hand, the MacBook is a full-fledged computer that does everything you would expect it to. The iPad is a tablet that runs on a custom operating system, which is more similar to the iPhone’s than a Mac’s. While both devices offer similar capabilities, they generally target different types of users. IPads and MacBooks are two of the most popular choices for mobile computing and are also some of Apple’s best-selling products.
