However, the actual results may vary from the forward-looking statements as the business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties according to the market scenario. For the reader’s reference, we have used words like 'anticipate', 'estimate', 'expect', 'project', 'intend', 'plan', 'believe' and words of similar nature to signify every forward-looking statement. We do not guarantee that these statements will stand true, but we believe that these are backed up by prudent assumptions. The achievement of the result may vary due to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. If in case, certain unforeseen risks or uncer- tainties dominate the market or any of the assumptions proved erroneous, then the final result may vary exponentially with respect to the anticipated, estimated or projected result. Thus, the readers should bear this in their mind. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements publicly, if there is any change in future events, there is new information, or whatsoever.

  • The Politics of Social Inclusion: Bridging Knowledge and Policies Towards Social Change About CROP
    Gabriele Koehler, Alberto D. Cimadamore, Fadia Kiwan, Pedro Manuel Monreal Gonzalez (Eds.) The Politics of Social Inclusion: Bridging Knowledge and Policies Towards Social Change About CROP CROP, the Comparative Research Programme on Poverty, was initiated in 1992, and the CROP Secretariat was officially opened in June 1993 by the Director General of UNESCO, Dr Frederico Mayor. The CROP network comprises scholars engaged in poverty-related research across a variety of academic disciplines and has been coordinated by the CROP Secretariat at the University of Bergen,International Norway. Studies in Poverty Research The CROP series on presents expert research and essential analyses of different aspects of poverty worldwide. By promoting a fuller understanding of the nature, extent, depth, distribution, trends, causes and effects of poverty, this series has contributed to knowledge concerning the reduction and eradication of Frompoverty CROP at global, to GRIP regional, national and local levels. After a process of re-thinking CROP, 2019 marked the beginning of a transition from CROP to GRIP – the Global Research Programme on Inequality. GRIP is a radically interdisciplinary research programme that views inequality as both a fundamental challenge to human well-being and as an impediment to achieving the ambitions of the 2030 Agenda. It aims to facilitate collaboration across disciplines and knowledge systems to promote critical, diverse and inter-disciplinary research on inequality. GRIP will continue to build on the successful collaboration between the University of Bergen and the International Science Council that was developed through thep former Comparative Research Programme on Poverty.

  • What Can Apple TV™ Teach Us About Digital Signage?
    What can Apple TV™ teach us about Digital Signage? Mark Hemphill | @ScreenScape July 2016 Executive Summary As a savvy communicator, you could be increasing revenue by building dynamic media channels into every one of your business locations via digital signage, yet something is holding you back. The cost and complexity associated with such technology is still too high for the average business owner to tackle. Or is it? Some of the traditional vendors in the digital signage industry make the task of connecting and controlling a few screens out to be a momentous challenge, a task for high paid experts. On the other hand, a new class of technologies has arrived in the home entertainment world that strips the exercise down to basics. And it’s surging in popularity. Apple TV™, and other similar streaming Internet devices, have managed to successfully eliminate the need for complicated hardware and complex installation processes to allow average non-technical homeowners to bring the Internet to their television screens. This trend in consumer entertainment offers insights we can adapt to the commercial world, lessons for digital signage vendors and their customers, which lead towards to simpler, more cost-effective, more user-friendly, and more scalable solutions. This article explores some of the following lessons in detail: • Simple appliances outperform PCs and Macs as digital media players • Sourcing and mounting a TV is not the critical challenge • In order to scale, digital signage networks must be designed for average non-technical users to operate • Creating an epic viewing experience isn’t as important as enabling a large and diverse network • Simplicity and cost-effectiveness go hand in hand By making it easier to connect and control screens, tomorrow’s digital signage solutions will help more businesses to reap the benefits of place-based media.

  • Technology Ties: Getting Real After Microsoft
    i c a r u s Winter/Spring 2005 Technology Ties: Getting Real after Microsoft The D.C. Circuit’s 2001 decision in United States v. Microsoft opened the door for high-tech monopolists to tie products Scott Sher together if they can demonstrate that the procompetitive Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati justification for their practice outweighs the competitive harm. Reston, VA Although not yet endorsed by the Supreme Court, the [email protected] Microsoft decision poses a significant threat to stand-alone application providers selling products in dominant operating environments where the operating systems (“OS”) provider also sells competitive stand-alone applications. In the recently-filed private lawsuit—Real Networks v. Microsoft1— Real Networks included in its complaint tying allegations against Microsoft, a dominant OS provider, claiming that the defendant tied the sale of its OS to the purchase of (allegedly less desirable) applications for its operating system. The fate of lawsuits such as Real is almost assuredly contingent upon whether courts follow the Microsoft holding and resulting legal standard or adhere to a more traditional tying analysis, which requires per se condemnation of such practices. These cases and the development of the law of technology ties are likely to have a profound effect on the development of future operating systems and the long-term viability of many independent application providers who offer products that function in such OS’s. With dominant OS providers like Microsoft reaching further into the application world— through the development and/or acquisition of applications that function on their dominant OS environments—OS providers increasingly are becoming competitors to independent application providers, while at the same time providing the industry-standard OS on which these applications run.

  • DIGITAL Media Players Have MEDIA Evolved to Provide PLAYERS a Wide Range of Applications and Uses
    2011-2012 Texas 4-H Study Guide - Additional Resources DigitalDIGITAL media players have MEDIA evolved to provide PLAYERS a wide range of applications and uses. They come in a range of shapes and sizes, use different types of memory, and support a variety of file formats. In addition, digital media players interface differently with computers as well as the user. Consideration of these variables is the key in selecting the best digital media player. In this case, one size does not fit all. This guide is intended to provide you, the consumer, with information that will assist you in making the best choice. Key Terms • Digital Media Player – a portable consumer electronic device that is capable of storing and playing digital media. The data is typically stored on a hard drive, microdrive, or flash memory. • Data – information that may take the form of audio, music, images, video, photos, and other types of computer files that are stored electronically in order to be recalled by a digital media player or computer • Flash Memory – a memory chip that stores data and is solid-state (no moving parts) which makes it much less likely to fail. It is generally very small (postage stamp) making it lightweight and requires very little power. • Hard Drive – a type of data storage consisting of a collection of spinning platters and a roving head that reads data that is magnetically imprinted on the platters. They hold large amounts of data useful in storing large quantities of music, video, audio, photos, files, and other data. • Audio Format – the file format in which music or audio is available for use on the digital media player.

    THE INDIA FREEDOM REPORT Media Freedom and Freedom of Expression in 2017 TheHoot.org JOURNALISTS UNDER ATTACK CENSORSHIP, NEWS CENSORSHIP, SELF CENSORSHIP THE CLIMATE FOR FREE SPEECH--A STATE-WISE OVERVIEW SEDITION DEFAMATION INTERNET-RELATED OFFENCES AND DIGITAL CENSORSHIP HATE SPEECH FORCED SPEECH INTERNET SHUTDOWNS RIGHT TO INFORMATION FREE SPEECH IN THE COURTS CENSORSHIP OF THE ARTS 2 MEDIA FREEDOM IN 2017 Journalists under attack The climate for journalism in India grew steadily adverse in 2017. A host of perpetrators made reporters and photographers, even editors, fair game as there were murders, attacks, threats, and cases filed against them for defamation, sedition, and internet- related offences. It was a year in which two journalists were shot at point blank range and killed, and one was hacked to death as police stood by and did not stop the mob. The following statistics have been compiled from The Hoot’s Free Speech Hub monitoring: Ø 3 killings of journalists which can be clearly linked to their journalism Ø 46 attacks Ø 27 cases of police action including detentions, arrests and cases filed. Ø 12 cases of threats These are conservative estimates based on reporting in the English press. The major perpetrators as the data in this report shows tend to be the police and politicians and political workers, followed by right wing activists and other non-state actors Law makers became law breakers as members of parliament and legislatures figured among the perpetrators of attacks or threats. These cases included a minister from UP who threatened to set a journalist on fire, and an MLA from Chirala in Andhra Pradesh and his brother accused of being behind a brutal attack on a magazine journalist.
