Educators can participate through online meetings, conferences, websites and cross-district projects. The document demonstrates apps that can be used for polling, presentations and mirroring devices.

This chapter reviews the literature on technologies for increasing capacity on GSM networks. It provides background on key terms and discusses current approaches like cell splitting, dual band networks, and new standards. The main technologies discussed are from companies like Ericsson, Nokia-Siemens, and Motorola. However, the literature does not compare the different options. While a need for more network capacity is shown, no single solution has emerged as superior from research.

Virtualisation and cloud computing have vastly improved our ability to experiment and innovate, especially at scale. In this talk, I hope to show you that experimentation is so cheap that anybody can (and should) have a go. We’ll see how docker can be used to try out new products and technologies in a rapid and repeatable fashion, and I’ll also be demonstrating a couple of basic techniques for rapidly (but flexibly) deploying Docker that should be useful when the focus of your experiments is Docker itself.

Openings often feature theme music and shots that symbolize the film's violence, location, or main characters to provide context and introduce the audience to the story.
This document summarizes the Rajiv Gandhi Equity Savings Scheme (RGESS) introduced by the Indian government in 2013. RGESS provides tax benefits to first-time investors who invest up to Rs. 50,000 in eligible securities such as stocks included in certain indices and mutual funds. Investors can claim a 50% deduction on their investment amount up to Rs. 25,000. Eligible securities must be held for a minimum of 3 years, with an initial 1-year fixed lock-in period followed by a flexible 2-year period where investors must maintain compliance with portfolio value conditions. Non-compliance results in withdrawal of tax benefits claimed.
