Is Internet currently available for every one? It seems that two third of the world’s population doesn’t have the internet yet. How can we get the internet access to most of them? It’s a big challenge and need a great innovative idea. Hence Project Loon from Google.
Project Loon is one of the latest side projects from Google X labs aimed at solving the internet connectivity gaps around the world.
With project loon Google is trying to provide broadband for two-thirds of the word’s seven billion people that live in rural and remote areas and don’t have internet access.
Project Loon is a network of balloons traveling on the edge of space, designed to connect people in rural and remote areas, help fill coverage gaps, and bring people back online after disasters.
"Project Loon," a Google X project. Google X is Google's research and development wing which is developing Google Glass, self-driving cars and now, "internet from balloons 20 kilometers up,”.
The key people involved in this project are is Rich de Vaul(the chief technical architect), Mike Cassidy(Project Leader), Cyrus Behroozi(a networking and telecommunication lead).
Project Loon uses high altitude balloons, similar to weather balloons, which float 20 kilometers in the sky -- twice as high as planes fly.
The key to making it work is the balloons can be pushed back and forth by raising and lowering them into relatively predictable high-altitude wind currents, while one balloon can be replaced by another when moved by the wind.
Project Loon: Balloons designed to extend connectivity Billions of people around the world are still without internet access. Loon is a network of balloons traveling on the edge of space, delivering connectivity to people in unserved and underserved communities around the world.
As two-thirds of the world’s population does not yet have internet access, “Google’s Project Loon” – a network of balloons travelling on the edge of space – is designed to connect people in rural and remote areas, helping fill coverage gaps, and bringing people back online after natural disasters. Floating high in the stratosphere – twice as high as airplanes and the weather – the ‘Project loon balloons’ are carried around the earth by winds and they can be steered by rising or descending to an altitude with winds moving in the desired direction. People connect to the network using a special internet antenna attached to their building. The signal bounces from balloon to balloon, which then provides a connection back down on earth. Each miniature blimp can provide connectivity to a ground area about 40 km in diameter at speeds comparable to 3G. For balloon-to-balloon and balloon-to-ground communications, the infrastructure use antennas equipped with specialized radio frequency technology. As part of the 2013 test pilot in New Zealand, project loon used ISM bands (specifically 2.4 and 5.8 GHZ bands) that are available for anyone to use. Tracking the latest research activity carried out, one of helium laden balloon of project loon went around the world in just 22 days, which was originally expected to be done in a span of 33 days.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

4. Google’s Project Loon is a research and
development project being developed by Google with
the mission of providing Internet access to rural and
remote areas using a network of hot air balloons, has
racked up an impressive achievement – going around
the world in just 22 days. The project uses high
altitude balloon’s placed in the stratosphere at an
altitude of about 20 mi (32 km) to create an aerial
wireless network with up to 3G-like speeds.
5. What is a Project Loon…?
It is a network of balloons travelling on the edge of the
space, designed to connect people in rural and remote areas.
6. History…
Unofficial development on the project began in 2011 under
incubation in Google X with a series of trial runs
in California's Central Valley.
The project was officially announced as a Google project on 14
June 2013.
On 16 June 2013, Google began a pilot experiment in New
Zealand.
7. Project Loon starts in June 2013 with an experimental
pilot in New Zealand.
A small group of Project Loon pioneers will test the
technology in Christchurch and Canterbury.
30 balloons, launched from New Zealand’s South Island.
The experience of these pilot testers will be used to refine
the technology and shape the next phase of Project Loon.

9. The Technology…
Project Loon balloons float in the stratosphere, twice
as high as airplanes and the weather.
They are carried around the Earth by winds and they
can be steered by rising or descending to an altitude
with winds moving in the desired direction.
People connect to the balloon network using a special
Internet antenna attached to their building.
The signal bounces from balloon to balloon, then to
the global Internet back on Earth.

13. How Loon Moves…?
Winds in the stratosphere are generally steady and
slow-moving at between 5 and 20 mph, and each layer
of wind varies in direction.
Project Loon uses software algorithms to determine
where its balloons need to go, then moves each one
into a layer of wind blowing in the right direction.
By moving with the wind, the balloons can be
arranged to form one large communications network.
16. Project Loon’s balloon envelopes are made from
sheets of polyethylene plastic and stand fifteen meters
wide by twelve meters tall when fully inflated.
A parachute attached to the top of the envelope allows
for a controlled descent and landing whenever a
balloon is ready to be taken out of service.

18. Each unit’s electronics are powered by an array of
solar panels that sits between the envelope and the
hardware.
In full sun, these panels produce 100 Watts of power -
enough to keep the unit running while also charging a
battery for use at night.
By moving with the wind and charging in the sun,
Project Loon is able to power itself using only
renewable energy sources.

22. How Loon Connects…?
Each balloon can provide connectivity to a ground area
about 40 km in diameter at speeds comparable to 3G.
For balloon-to-balloon and balloon-to-ground
communications, the balloons use antennas equipped with
specialized radio frequency technology.
Each balloon is equipped with a GPS for tracking its location.
Project Loon currently uses ISM bands that are available for
anyone to use.
26. Conclusion…
In this century, google’s new invention
;Google project loon provide a very valuable
help to poor people by accessing the
internet facility. With this, almost all people
may get the ability to know the world of
internet and utilize these facility to
overcome the barriers.
