...SKY X TECHNOLOGY ======================= Satellites are attractive option for carrying internet and other IP traffic to many locations across the globe where terrestrial options are limited or [censored] prohibitive. But data networking on satellite is faced with overcoming the large latency and high bit error rate typical of satellite communications as well as the asymmetric bandwidth design of most satellite network. Satellites are ideal for providing internet and private network access over long distance and to remote locations. However the internet protocols are not optimized for satellite conditions. So the throughput over the satellite networks is restricted to only a fraction of available bandwidth. Mentat, the leading supplies of TCP/IP to the computer industry have overcome their limitations with the development of the Sky X product family. The Sky X system replaces TCP over satellite link with a protocol optimized for the long latency, high loss and asymmetric bandwidth conditions of the typical satellite communication. The Sky X family consists of Sky X Gateway, Sky X Client/Server and Sky X OEM products. Sky X products increase the performance of IP over satellite by transparency replacing. The Sky X Gateway works by intercepting the TCP connection from client and converting the data to Sky X protocol for transmission over the satellite. The Sky X Client /Server product operates in a similar manner except that...

...Why is the sky blue? Have you ever wondered why our sky is blue? The molecules in our atmosphere are made up of about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, .7% argon, and a small amount of trace gases. White light from our sun is made up of all the colors in the rainbow from red to violet. When the light hits our atmosphere the molecules scatter blue light more than red or green etc. so we see a blue sky! Let's do an experiment to see the effect of scattering, and some other properties of light. Get as many of the following materials as possible: A 1 liter beaker or 1 qt glass jar (a 12 oz glass will do), some milk, a laser pointer or other low power laser, a prism or diffraction grating and some lenses, and a lab notebook to record your observations. Fill the beaker with cold tap water and shine your laser through it. Mix 2-3 drops of milk into the water. Take the mixture into a dimly lit, or dark, room. Shine the laser through the side of the beaker and look through the top of the beaker, jar, or glass. What do you see? The mixture you made is called a colloidal suspension. Now shine the laser up through the side of the beaker toward the center of surface of the suspension. [Physics FAQ] - [Copyright] Original by Philip Gibbs May 1997. Why is the sky blue? A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue...

Introduction What is the very first thing or imagery that comes to our mind when we say the acronym DTH? Maybe we visualize Shahrukh Khan in his signature lover-boy arms-wide-spread pose urging us to wish for more (Dish Karo, Wish Karo). Maybe we think about a certain Babloo’s mummy, who is a housewife, speaking fluent English she has learnt from Tata Sky Active English Speaking course; or Reliance urging us to go BIG (TV ho toh BIG ho). Depending on the customer base and loyalty, different people will have different imagery of DTH. During the last decade of the twentieth century, introduction of the cable TV operators in India took the TV industry by a storm. With channels like SONY, Star Plus entering the Indian TV industry through cable, the evergreen Doordarshan faced stiff competition to thrive in their otherwise monopolized entertainment industry. Slowly, with more revenue being put into private cable TV channels, quality of TV programs increased by leaps and bounds. Doordarshan struggled to survive against the onslaught of the private TV channels. With the cable TV operators slowly increasing their reach...

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Issues The meaning of Open Sky in the ASEAN must be determined. For the purposes of this Report, it is taken to refer to a situation of extensive liberalisation within the ASEAN region. It concentrates on the international links between members of ASEAN, and is not so concerned with domestic cabotage. The report does not focus on beyond rights, or on 5th freedom operations of non-ASEAN airlines within the region, though it recognises that these can have an impact on Open Sky arrangements. The rationale for Open Sky is taken to be to promote competition in the airline industry, and to give all airlines from ASEAN the scope to compete on intra ASEAN routes. Open Sky will also give airlines extra flexibility over their route development. Issues which need to be considered include: How well Open Sky will work in ASEAN? Will markets be competitive enough? Will there be shifts in hub location? Will anti competitive strategies affect operation? And will there be instability in the industry? 2. Experience of Open Skies Elsewhere There are many Open Skies bilateral agreements, and a few regional agreements. Few regional Open Skies agreements have led to substantial liberalisation or integration. The exception is Europe - Open Skies in Europe has meant the formation of a single aviation market. Significantly, this arrangement did not come about as a result of countries negotiating an open skies agreement - rather it was imposed on them by a central...

... * Top: Baroque drawing of the constellation Orionfrom Johannes Hevelius' celestial catalogue * Bottom: Contemporary map of Orion from the IAUand photography of the night sky | In everyday usage, a constellation is a traditional or recognizable group of stars in the night sky, or the region of the sky containing them. In technical usage these meanings have been separated, with groupings of stars being called asterisms, and the word constellation being reserved for a specific area of the celestial sphere with boundaries laid down by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). These areas mostly had their origins in Western-traditional asterisms from which the constellations take their names. When astronomers say something is “in” a given constellation they mean it is within those official boundaries. There are 88 officially recognized constellations, covering the entire sky[1] which have grown from the 48 classical Greek constellations laid down by Ptolemy in the Almagest. Out of these 88 constellations, 12 compose the zodiac signs. Thus, any given point in a celestial coordinate system can unambiguously be assigned to a constellation. It is usual in astronomy to give the constellation in which a given object is found along with its coordinates in order to convey a rough idea in which part of the sky it is located.

...The gods asked for a council of everyone on earth for what it should like. They invited one of every animal, and one of every rock, plant, and bug. They asked first of man what he would like the sky to look like. Man asked for the sky to be dark, for otherwise things could not rest. The gods obliged, and the sky became dark always. The owls enjoyed the dark, but most other birds found it difficult to see and kept flying into trees, who lodged complaints with the new sky because they could not grow without light. The gods next asked the trees what the sky should look like, and they said one word. Bright. Now the sky was shiny and glowing. The the humans complained, the owls complained, and all of the world got into a huge fight. The gods separated it and started to work on a compromise. They could not decide how to do it. Finally an old man walked up and began to paint. He painted the first sky with flecks of the glowing paint and a big splotch in the middle. The trees were not impressed, although everyone else adored the sky. The complaints mounted up, and the trees simply were not growing, which made everyone hungry and put into a foul mood. The man once more painted a sky, using the second canvas as a backdrop. He painted a covering of blue for everywhere but a spot in the middle. Then the gods put it to a vote. Everyone chose a side, and in the end it was split down the middle. Than the man painted them that they would...

Bargaining power of DTH operator with CPE supplier has increased due to supply. Transponder is provided by Astrix, ISRO hence dependency exists and due to no regulations in channel pricing, DTH operators are at mercy of Broadcasters. Bargaining Power of Buyer-High Consumer has the power to choose in this industry with variety. Unless players can differentiate against each other, the market shall remain mostly homogeneous.

...Ace Institute of Management MARKETING MANAGEMENT Case # 4: Tata Sky’s Marketing Strategies Submitted to: Mr. Ashish Tiwari Submitted by: Rupesh Kumar Shah EMBA ’11 Fall September 2012 Question 1: Examine the growth strategies of Tata Sky over the years. Answer: Tata Sky was launched in 2006. It is one of the leading India-based Direct To Home (DTH) service provider. It has crossed three million connections mark in a period of 20 months. Therefore, it is the fastest growing direct-to-home service provider across the globe. It is a joint venture between Tata Group with 80% stake and STAR Group with 20% stake. It currently offers more than 196 channels and few interactive ones; the count includes few numbers of HD channels offered by Tata Sky called as Tata Sky - HD and interactive services. Tata Sky has tied with Aamir Khan as its brand ambassador. Aamir Khan features all Tata Sky brand and product communication such as advertisements in TV, print and radio. Tata Sky has targeted to have about eight million connections by 2012. The direct-to-home (DTH) industry in India currently has about 30 million subscribers and six players. It is assumed to grow to 60 million subscribers by the end of 2013 despite the fact that the industry faces several issues such as low average revenue per user (ARPU), high cost of acquisition of content and subscribers, and various taxes such as entertainment...

...the natural world and industrial world to convey a certain message. In his painting Seascape with Sailing Vessels on the Horizon, Constable contrasts the pollution of the sea with the serene, vast sky to depict the grandeur of nature and its tenacity even in the face of industrialization. Constable noticeably uses color to describe the contaminated and tumultuous waves of the sea in opposition to the glowing and still sky. The viewer’s eyes first jump to the tide hitting the beach and creating a splash of water at the forefront of the painting. The colors used at this location are navy, mustard yellow, brown, grey, and creamy-white. These colors in the sea connote to filthy, muddled water. Furthermore, there are a couple of distinct dashes of deep, dark grey colors at the splash site that add to the effect of making the water seem dirty. The colors in the sea are most intense at this splash site but the viewer also notices specks of burgundy through out the sea that confirm the pollution and impure composition of the sea. In contrast to the sea, the colors of the sky are more uniform and brighter in shade. Constable uses grey and white in the clouds and the value of these colors are much lighter and more consistent than the grey and white used in the sea. The blue shade of the sky, similarly, is consistent through out the top half of the painting and conveys a sense of calmness. The clouds are highlighted with tints of...

...Tibetan Sky Burial Culture Brandon Andres Medicine Hat College IDST 485 – Death and Dying Susan Sverdrup-Phillips Due: March 10, 2014 Word Count = 1985 The most popular method of disposal of the dead in Tibet is a sky burial. This will seem exceedingly savage and disrespectful to many others outside this culture. A sky burial is the funeral and burial process of feeding a dismantled and cut up human corpse to vultures. If one is to fully study the country of Tibet and its peoples’ history then one can understand the reasonable logic to why this form of burial is not savage or disrespectful to a being. This Sky Burial tradition is still the most popular and desired way that Tibetans are buried after their death due to their enlightened beliefs. Firstly, this essay will state and discuss the historical reasons why sky burials would have started and became prevalent in Tibet. Second, this will look at the process and impacts of performing a Sky Burial. Lastly, it will discuss the debates of having a ceremonial sky burials in Tibet. In North American culture the most common and traditional method are to use caskets and accompany it by some type of ritual or ceremony or else the most common alternative to disposing of human remains is cremation (Basmajian and Coutts 2010:309-310) This method in North America is so common to hide the physical corpse from others and bury or cremate it that when people are presented with a sky burial one might think the “profession involves...

Part of Ofcom‟s analysis in support of these conclusions has involved consideration of changes over time in: (a) (b) (c) 3. charges for Sky‟s pay TV services; the quality of services provided by Sky to consumers; and the number of Sky subscribers. 2. In its inquiry Ofcom has put forward a view that Sky has continually raised charges for its pay TV services over time, reducing the value for money received by consumers, while at the same time increasing the number of its subscribers. Ofcom then infers from this assessment that Sky does not face effective competition at the retail level. Sky considers that the facts of the matter wholly contradict this assessment by Ofcom, and the inference that is drawn from it. Sky has already provided Ofcom with significant evidence collected by PwC, which shows that in relation to pay TV services UK consumers are well served compared to their European peers. Similarly, in its Response to Ofcom‟s Third Consultation Document, Sky demonstrated that Ofcom‟s proposition that examination of Sky‟s profitability shows that retail prices for pay TV services are excessive is without foundation.2 4. 1 Paragraph 4.410 of Ofcom‟s Third Consultation Document.

...Sky Air Advance Assignment 1. Samuel Kaplan is currently a principal and an agent at Sky Air because he is the only person running the company. If Sky Air is sold, at least in part, to Thyestean, he will become a principle. However, Thyestean will have no members on the board so they will have no say in how the company should be run, so even though Kaplan is giving up 30% of his business, he still makes all the decisions. 2. Kaplan and Sky Air are facing some near-term decisions, which include whether or not to accept the offer, whether or not they should counter-offer, and if they do counter-offer, what would he decide to make the new terms. 3. I believe that Thyestean’s offer is the more reasonable of the evaluations of Sky Air. Kaplan believes that his company is worth at least $66.6 million based off his estimate of 30% for $20 million. However, Thyestean believes that the company is only worth $20 million (30% stake at $6 million). Due to the fact that there are major airlines already established, Sky Air will most likely remain a smaller airline company. So, their ceiling for growth is limited, which means there profitability growth rate will eventually even out, probably somewhere around where it is now because the company has been in business for 10 years. 4. Sky Air appears to be worth less to Thyestean than to Kaplan because profitability growth has slowed, and even declined slightly in the last year. Also, Kaplan founded this company, so there is also a little...

Now your answer to the question is correct but, aside from the Sun, the Moon is also the brightest and most noticeable object in our sky. The Moon is Earth’s only natural satellite. The Moon is a roughly spherical, rocky body that orbits the Earth and its diameter is about one-fourth Earth’s diameter (“Moon”). This object does more than orbits the Earth and light up the night sky.
