India comfortably won the 3rd test against England in the 5 match test series and make it 2-1.

 

Chasing a huge total of 521 in the fourth-innings, England collapsed to 62/4 during the 1st session of the fourth day’s play at Trent Bridge. When it seemed like the hosts would fold meekly, Jos Buttler stood up & played an outstanding innings, a defiant maiden test century.

In the 2nd session India was creating chances but was not able to convert it & get wickets. Towards the end of the day, in the 3rd session Jasprit Bumrah sliced open the game for the visitors as India took the 2nd newball. Bumrah was unstoppable by that time by producing a searing spell. His five-wicket haul has taken India to the verge of registering a famous overseas triumph.

Saurabh Chaudhary at the age of 16 years becomes the fifth Indian shooter to claim a gold in the Asian Games history

 

The ages of Indian champions are dropping, or so it seems at least in shooting. 19 years old, Lakshay Sheoran won silver in trap shooting on Monday. Saurabh Chaudhary went better on two accounts. He is 16 and won a gold medal in 10m air pistol at the 18th Asian Games.

It was India’s third gold medal of the Games. Abhishek Verma, too, contributed a bronze from the same event. Later Sanjeev Rajput added a silver from 50m rifle 3-positions. That meant India bagged one gold, one silver and one bronze from the shooting ranges for the day. And added to the two silver and one bronze India won in shooting on Monday.

Saurabh Chaudhary in his first senior event showed a lot of maturity and calmness. He beat 2010 World Champion Tomoyuki Matsuda on the penultimate shot in the 24 shot final. He aggregated 240.7. Japan’s 42-year-old Matsuda misfired in the  23rd shot, an 8.9, to settle for silver. He scored 239.7.

Everyone’s expectations from Saurabh was very high this time. But they didn’t think that he could match the likes of Jaspal Rana, Randhir Singh, Jitu Rai and Ronjan Sodhi at such a young age. He made all of them happy by winning the gold. He has also broken many world records while winning the gold medal at the ISSF Junior World Cup in Suhl, Germany , a couple of months back.

Saurabh Chaudhary’s father is a farmer. He hails from Kalina, a small village where farming is the main occupation on the banks of Hindon river in Meerut tehsil in Uttar Pradesh. It is just under 30 kilometres from the main city of Meerut. There are just under 500 families and less than 4,000 people. The literacy rate in Kalina is among the highest in the state. “I like farming. We don’t get much time off from training but whenever I do, I go back to my Village (Kalina) and help my father. ” Saurabh said. He took to shooting only three years ago. He trained at Amit Sheoran’s Academy in Binauli near Baghpat. The Academy is named after a great freedom fighter Baba Shah Mal, who hailed from the area and took on the might of the British.

Saurabh Chaudhary said “I did not feel any pressure. I just came to compete and do my best.” He added, “I have been in good form and given good results and trained hard.” He turned from a young boy of 16 into man, who won a gold in the 10m air pistol for India.

Facing Internet Connectivity Problem while visiting different places? Google’s Project Loon will Take Care of it

Ever faced Internet Connectivity problem while you are outside of your local area? If not then Congratulations, but if yes then also Congratulations. Cause Google is trying to sort out this problem.

Actually, this is not their intention. Their motto is something different, but quite similar to it.

We all know, in the World there are so many places where Internet Facility doesn’t reach yet. Google is trying to bring that kind of places under Internet Accessible area.

So, how will they do it?

As mentioned in the title, Project Loon is the answer.

 

project loon_1_technosports.co.in

 

How does it work?

To distribute an internet service, the Stratosphere is the best layer we can access. From that part, a single balloon can spread the internet service to a wider area.

All the balloons used for this purpose are equipped with

  • ANTENNAS to transmit connectivity from ground stations, across a balloon mesh network, and back down to a user’s LTE phone.

  • SOLAR PANELS to give supply power directly to equipment in the day and to charge the battery which will supply power at night.

 

project loon_equipments_technosports.co.in.png

 

  • FLIGHT CAPSULE to hold the electronics that command and control the Loon system.

  • PARACHUTE to guide the balloon safely back to Earth after its flight during deploy time.

 

There will have the ground stations, which will be connected with the Internet Service Provider. The ground station sends the incoming signal to the nearest balloon. Afer that signal will be relayed across the network and users can easily access the internet with an LTE Supported smartphone coming back from the loon network.

A large number of balloon groups will spread through the Stratosphere to spread the proper problem free internet service worldwide.

 

project loon_2_technosports.co.in

 

Why Balloons for this project?

  • Fuell cost for balloons are very less
  • These Balloons are capable to endure harsh conditions in Stratosphere
  • Easy to manage during launching and after landing
  • These can last more over 100 days in Stratosphere.
  • These balloons can be designed with Autonomous Navigation system easily in comparison with the other flying objects.
  • Forming a Balloon is cheaper than forming other flying objects.

 

How they launch this balloons?

Google designed Autolaunchers to launch that huge balloons. Those launchers are capable to launch a new balloon in every half an hour.

After coming back of a balloon, rescue teams will locate first with the navigation system and collect all the equipment along with the balloon.

 

project loon_launcher_technosports.co.in.jpg

 

This project is under the testing period. When it will be applied, all the internet connectivity problems will be gone for forever.

India wins its first ever medal, a bronze medal, in Sepak Takraw at the Asian Games

The Indian men’s regu team lost to Thailand 0-2. But India picked up a bronze medal as both the losing semifinalists were also awarded a medal.

 

It was a ‘victory in defeat’ for the Indian men’s sepak takraw team. India settled for its maiden Asian Games bronze medal in this sport. They were beaten by a formidable Thailand in the semi-finals.

 

sepaktakraw AFP India wins its first ever medal, a bronze medal, in Sepak Takraw at the Asian Games

 

Sepak Takraw is one of the least heard sports in India. Still now more than half of the population doesn’t even know about this sport’s existence. So to win India’s first ever medal in this sport is a big achievement for this team. Sepak takraw, which directly translates to kick the ball, has been part of the Games program since 1990. India has participated in this sport since the 2006 edition. The sport has a huge following in the South East Asian countries and India is slowly catching with them. Thailand has won a whopping 22 gold medals at the Games and Myanmar is a distant second in the list with five gold.

The Indian team trained in Thailand for the past two months. This training made a huge difference, according to chief coach Hem Raj. Eight of the 12 members of the squad are from Manipur and the rest are from Delhi. The sport is quite popular in Manipur. It is primarily because of its proximity to Myanmar.

“Yes, that is how the sport became so popular in Manipur. It is close to Myanmar and it has always been easy to source equipment from there. Now we use synthetic balls but back in the day, we used to get balls made of bamboo. That was the traditional way of playing the sport,” said another team official Muhindro Singh Thokchom.

The men’s team is not done yet and promises another medal in regu. The women’s team failed to win a medal but they too are improving fast. “We should have a women’s medal in the next edition. As I said, we are only going to up from here,” summed chief coach Raj, who has already set his sights on a World Championship medal next month.
