Technology of the future: 4G & 4G VoLTE

You may have heard words like 3G, 4G, VoLTE, or LTE floating around. But what do they mean? If you are considering buying a new phone, you’ll probably need to know a little bit about these networks before taking a trip to the mall. The frequency used by 4G networks to transmit data is different from that of 3G networks. 4G is basically the fourth generation of consumer networking technology. It offers faster speeds as compared to 3G and is considered an evolutionary benchmark in developing Internet speeds. LTE is actually first generation 4G technology. Many technologies have been competing as 4G standards.

Breaking Down Walls for Women Empowered Women Trainers Serve as Role Models

As gender-sensitive women teachers can be role models for girls, empowered women trainers can help teachers they train to understand and reduce stereotypes and prejudices by drawing on women's experience, or "lived realities." They can turn demeaned and devalued traditional female behaviours into respected assets that benefit themselves, their professions and their societies. All cultures have long recognized that "different" is too often a synonym for "deficient" and seen as a consequence of immutable female "nature." This can confine women to stereotyped and restricted gender roles. Feminism in the 1970's understandably accepted the "gender blind" argument that women's differences were a result of nurture (or lack of) rather than nature and if women were given the same opportunities as men, these differences would disappear. Since the 1980's a voluminous body of literature has acknowledged and heralded women's wa...

LEGAL EDUCATION IN THE ERA OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY: AN ANALYSIS

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Nelson Mandela In the lap of globalization, the term ‘Legal Education’ touches multi-dimensional approaches. The Encyclopaedia of education defines legal education as a skill for human knowledge which is universally relevant to the lawyer’s art and which deserves special attention in educational institutions.  The first thing which the lawyer must always bear in mind is that he/she must spiritualize the practice of law for service of country.

Legal education is an integral and invisible part of human dignity. Respect for the sanctity of life and the quest for liberty, equality, prosperity, stability, order and fairness are some of the core values that furnish foundation for the emergence of human rights ac...
