ZOOM Meeting’s 2020 Holiday Gift

The famous video conferencing software Zoom lifts the 40-minute limit for its free users worldwide for the forthcoming holiday season.

During the second surge, the coronavirus pandemic has roared to new extremes around the world causing many people to stay home and instead schedule meetings with friends and relatives over the Phone. In light with the current situation, zoom announced that this Christmas and New Year, friends and families kept apart by COVID would not find their simulated meetings over Zoom cut short by the normal 40-minute limit for free subscribers.

Normally, only those paying for Zoom memberships are qualified to access unrestricted calls. Non-paying customers need to hang up to initiate a fresh call after they’re up for 40 minutes.

The removal of restrictions would mean that now during the upcoming holiday stretches, non-paying users would be able to make unrestricted calls. These would be valid for the Christian festivities of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, the end of Hanukkah for Jews and Kwanzaa for African-Americans, as well as New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.

What you need to do?

To remove the restriction, you don’t need to do anything, it will be removed automatically at the below specified hours.

Dates and timings when the 40-minute limit is removed by Zoom (Indian Standard Time):

• 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 17, to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 19
• 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 23, to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 26
• 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 30, to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 2

Zoom recommends a few actions users can take to ensure a wonderful virtual get-together with loved ones, these are:

• Protect sessions from uninvited guests by requiring a meeting passcode to join and enabling Waiting Rooms – and don’t share your meeting IDs on social media or other public forums
• Learn how to get started on Zoom with basic tips and answers to frequently asked questions
• Download festive virtual backgrounds and have fun with video filters!

The 60-minute call limit has also suspended by Zoom competitor Google Meet until March while the meeting period limits have not been removed by Microsoft Teams and Cisco’s Webex.

Whether coming together on the final day of Hanukkah, celebrating Christmas, ringing in the New Year, or marking the last days of Kwanzaa, those connecting with friends and family won’t get cut short, a Zoom spokesman said.

In early 2015 SpaceX announced a revolutionary way to provide internet services directly via satellite known as Starlink satellite. The idea was to provide internet connectivity directly from the satellite with no need of cable infrastructure, means the service will be accessible even at the most remote location. This internet service will be fast and affordable.

At the moment more than 60% of homes in USA have access to internet via a wired connection and it is the only available choice. Percentage increases to 87% if you move to rural regions of the country. From this statistic it can be discerned that the internet connection is highly dependent on the available infrastructure in the region, which is almost nonexistent in rural and remote locations.

Starlink aims to cover all 7 continents and provide its internet services even at the most remote location on earth. So, in near future expect to see SpaceX’s Starlink as one of the ISP in your city. It has already started its beta testing and US residents can sign-up on the website of SpaceX.

Who can sign-up for the beta testing of Starlink?

Anybody who is US resident can sign-up for the beta testing. To sign-up you just need to enter your e-mail id and address where you are residing on the official website. But, there is a catch to it, you have to select address from the dropdown option and if your address is not their then you cannot participate in the program. 

You can sign up for Starlink Beta here: https://www.starlink.com

Working of Starlink

Starlink satellites are geostationary satellites which orbit closer to earth as compared to conventional satellites which operate 1000s of kilometer away from earth. Being closer to earth surface, the latency of the connection is less and moreover the satellites use lasers to increase internet speeds.

Starlink satellites transmits internet signal directly to user terminal on the ground. The transmission is done by antennas on the satellite and each satellite has 4 high power phased array antennas. These antennas have high throughput and low redirection time; thus, it can provide fast internet connection with low latency at a cheap cost.

Simply putting it, a person on earth will have direct access to internet services via satellite and the only setup required is a simple dish like receiver. No need of laying cables and fiber optics. 

What speed to expect from Starlink?

Initial test was conducted by Starlink in partnership with US Air Force which was called as Global Lightning. During this beta test, they were able to achieve the speed of 610Mbps.

The Global Lightning was started in 2018 and test was conducted using two Starlink satellites. During the test these two satellites were used to send information to terminals inside C-12 transport plane which was in flight at that time.

Recently a presentation which was sent to FCC by SpaceX also included some other details which were spotted by Reddit users. Details spotted included two benchmark tests which showed Starlink achieved a download speed of 103 Mbps and upload speed of 42 Mbps and, latency of 19 ms. These tests were conducted using Ookla’s Speedtest.net service.

As per SpaceX’s director of satellite policy, David Goldman, the initial beta tests for Starlink has consistently got latency below 30 ms. It may seem a lot but the average latency for fixed line in US is 25 ms and, for mobile networks the latency is around 48 ms.  In terms of latency Starlink is already on par with fixed broadband connections.

SpaceX had claimed to provide internet speed of 100 Mbps and latency around 20 ms. With these recent benchmarks where it can be clearly seen it to be achieving its claimed speeds, we can expect to see the same results when it is available. 

Number of Starlink satellites in Orbit

At the time these benchmarks took place, there were only 500 Starlink satellites in the Orbit. This was during June 30 and the benchmarks were recorded in Seattle, Washington. 

As of now company has over 700 Starlink satellites orbiting our planet and I am also affirmative that the speeds have improved. Elon Musk had said that it needs only 400 satellites in orbit to provide “minor” internet service coverage so, taking that into consideration we can expect SpaceX to start its services for people by the end of 2020.

As per the presentation, SpaceX is manufacturing around 120 Starlink satellites every month. SpaceX aims to launch over 42,000 Starlink satellites and provide worldwide coverage. 

On ground, SpaceX has setup six Starlink ground stations which will act as receiver and provide internet service from the satellite. These six stations are located in:

• North Bend, Washington
• Redmond, Washington
• Merrillan, Wisconsin
• Greenville, Pennsylvania
• Conrad, Montana
• Hawthorne, California 

SpaceX’s original plan was to setup one million ground stations and had filed request for the same with FCC. But after looking at more than 700,000 applicants signed up to the beta test, company changed its request and asked FCC for the permission to build five million ground stations. New locations where ground stations will be built are:

• Panaca, Nevada
• Beekmantown, New York
• Kalama, Washington
• Evanston, Wyoming
• Limestone, Maine

Equipment used to get internet via Starlink

It is clear that Starlink will provide its internet services via satellites so, one of the equipment is the satellite itself. Each satellite weighs around 260 kg and has a compact dense design, giving it shape of a thick slab. SpaceX is using Falcon 9 rocket to launch these satellites and it can carry 60 satellites at a time.

Another necessary equipment is ground terminal which will communicate with the satellite. As per Elon Musk the Starlink terminal is a small, thin and flat dish which he called it as a “UFO on a stick”. As per Musk Starlink terminal can adjust its angle to optimal position without any intervention as it has motors inside it. He also gave instructions to install terminal, which is just 2 step process: Plug terminal into socket and point it at sky. 

Starlink terminal can be placed anywhere as long as it has the wide view of the sky.

What should Beta testers expect?

As per site’s page, to participate in “Starlink Beta” there is a fee of $1 a month. There is also an initial charge of $3 which will be followed by $2 monthly charge. According to the website, these charges are not for any Starlink services or hardware rather, these charges are used for testing the ordering and billing systems. 

SpaceX has said that it is loaning the hardware and internet service is free of charge. It will charge $1 after 30 days of shipping the hardware.

Also, SpaceX has mentioned that Starlink Beta will be imperfect and the purpose of beta test is to receive feedback and improve the services. During the testing program it is expected from tester to dedicate at least 30 minutes a day testing the Starlink services and need to provide feedback on regular basis which will include surveys, emails, and even calls with SpaceX employees.

One thing to remember is that under Starlink Beta program you are not allowed to disclose nor discuss to anyone outside your household about your participation in the program. While participating every tester has to sign non-disclosure agreement. SpaceX has clearly stated that Starlink services and any details related to it like internet speeds, uptime, coverage and, other specifications are confidential and proprietary to it. 

When to expect Starlink internet services?

It is yet to know when will Starlink internet services will be available for us but, we hope it will be in this year. SpaceX’s president had said that Starlink satellite internet services will be available to Americans in mid-2020 but, we are already past mid of this year without the launch.

There are sufficient Starlink satellites in the orbit but along with it, SpaceX has to get approval from US’s FCC which it has already received but, it also needs approval from United Nation’s International Telecommunications Union (ITU).

As of today, there are over 700 satellites in the orbit and the beta testing has also begun. This is a strong indication that the services will be soon available. 

Cost of Starlink satellite internet services

Back in 2015 during one of Elon Musk’s speech, he mentioned the price of Starlink terminal to be in the range of $100-$300, and SpaceX president Shotwell during a CNN interview commented “Is anybody paying less than 80 bucks a month for crappy service? Nope. That’s why we’re gonna be successful.” From which it can be inferred that the cost of actual service will be around $80.

It is yet to know what the actual costs will be but, we should expect it to be around $80.

Coverage of Starlink

For the initial phase, services of Starlink satellite will be available in US and Canada which will also cover rural regions of these countries. After a strong footing in these two countries, the company aims to expand its services to other parts of the world.

Starlink satellite can be a real game changer in internet connectivity, what do you think? Share your views in the comment section.

There are many people around who know that they are suffering from diabetes and need treatment but they may not know that they may have condition called as Diabetic eye. Yes, there is something called as Diabetic eye, where eyes are affected by diabetes and it is common amongst diabetic patients than you think so.

There are more than 26 million people in United States itself who are suffering from diabetes and are at risk of going blind.

If you have poor vision and suffering diabetes then your diabetes can be the reason for your deteriorated vision. If your diabetic eye is left untreated then there is very high chance of you becoming blind. Hence, treatment and care are utmost important to avoid and stop your vision from further deterioration. 

Diabetic eye diseases which any diabetic patient may incur are diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, glaucoma, and cataract which is most common amongst patients. Sometimes blurry vision is also caused by diabetic eye.

Before knowing more about these eye diseases caused by diabetes, let us understand basic anatomy and functioning of eye.

Anatomy and functioning of eye

Our eyes are spherical in shape and though they may look delicate but, our eyes are quite strong enough to protect itself from some damage. 

The outer layer or first layer of an eye is cornea. It is tough clear membrane which covers frontal layer of eye. The function of cornea is to focus incoming light and also protect the eye.

Through cornea light is passed to a protective fluid and then through the pupil, it is hole in the iris. When you look into an eye, the colored circular disk you see is iris. 

From the pupil, light is focused deeper into the eye through lenses which are present in the eye. At the end there is another fluid filled section at the center of the eye through which is light is passed and then projected on retina at back of the eye.

Diabetic eye and its effects on eye

Your eyes are affected by diabetes when your blood sugar level is too high. Over the period of time if blood sugar levels are not controlled then your eyes can be damaged. 

Sometimes, people have blurry vision for days or weeks while changing their diabetes plans or medicines. Due to high sugar in fluid, there is swelling in the tissue of the eyes which are responsible for focusing the light. Swelling of these tissue causes blurred vision. Fret not, this type of blurry vision is temporary and it goes off once the sugar level is back to normal level.

If your blood sugar stays high for prolonged period of time there can be damage to blood vessels which are at the back of your eyes. This damage to tiny blood vessels can begin from early stage also known as prediabetic stage, condition when your blood sugar is high but not high enough to be diagnosed with diabetes. 

These damaged blood vessels can cause swelling and new weaker blood vessels may begin to grow and eventually rupture. This can cause bleeding in the eye which in turn can result into scarring, or can also cause to rise in pressure in the eye to highly dangerous levels.

Due to above problems which are prominently caused by diabetes, your retina is affected and such problems are called as “microvascular abnormalities”. Most of the serious diabetic eye diseases begin with these microvascular abnormalities. 

The 4 diabetic eye diseases which can severally affect your eyes are mentioned below.

Cataracts 

The cornea in your eyes acts as lenses and is responsible to focus light which helps in creating sharp vision. With age the vision can become cloudy due to clouding/fogging of the clear lenses: cornea. Person whose cornea have become cloudy/fogged is said to have cataract. 

Occurrence of cataract is common but, if you are diabetic then probability of getting cataract rises by 60 times when compared with someone who is not diabetic. It is believed by researchers that high sugar levels cause deposits on cornea of the eye and results into cataract. Thus, young adults are also prone to cataracts as diabetes plays a role in shortening the clouding of eyes.

Symptoms of Cataract

• Blurry vision
• Glary vision
• Visible clouding of eyes

Available treatments for Cataract

If you already are suffering from cataract then the most common treatment involves surgically removing the clouded lens and replacing it with new artificial lens.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a condition that causes damage to optic nerves in eye. It is most of the times caused by increased pressure, also known as intraocular pressure. If the damage to optic worsens then it can result into permanent vision loss within short period of few years. 

The excess pressure in the eye is created when eye is not able to remove the fluids present in the eye. This pressure causes squeezing of blood vessels in the eye which eventually starves retina and optic nerve and results into vision loss over time. 

As you age the risk of getting glaucoma is high and if you are diabetic then your risk of getting it are higher. The chances of entangled in this condition increases by 40% if you are diabetic and the chances increases with the prolonged diabetic conditions. 

Symptoms of Glaucoma

Glaucoma does not have any initial observable signs and symptoms and till the time any symptoms occur the condition has already become severe. To detect it at the earliest stage, best way is to routinely do eye checkup. When the symptoms are noticeable, it can include and appear in combination of:

• Headaches
• Eye aches
• Blurred vision
• Loss of vision/Reduced vision
• Loss/Reduced visual field
• Watering of eyes
• Halos around lights

Available treatments for Glaucoma

Most of the treatments for glaucoma involves lowering the pressure in the eyes. Pressure is lowered by removing the humor fluid present in the eye or decreasing the production of the fluid. This pressure can be lowered by:

• Medication 
• Special eye drops
• Surgery
• Laser Therapy

Glaucoma is a life-long condition so it is necessary to regularly follow up with the eye specialist. Also, it is important to know that early diagnosis is necessary to stop the damage of eyes. 

Diabetic Retinopathy

As in the name suggests diabetic retinopathy is a diabetic eye disease which is caused by damage to blood vessels connecting to retina. At early stage diabetic retinopathy may not show any symptoms of maybe some mild symptoms but, over the period of time it can cause blindness. 

Anybody with type 1 or type 2 diabetes can develop this condition and, if you are suffering from diabetes for long period of time and if you blood sugar is not in control then, it is likely for you to suffer from this eye complication.

With too much sugar in blood, it can cause blockage of the tiny blood vessels which are connected to retina. Due to this blockage of blood vessels, supply of blood and nourishment to retina is stopped. So, to avoid stopping of blood supply and nourishment, the eye tries to grow new blood vessels but, these newly developed blood vessels are not perfect like the old ones and it can leak easily. 

Diabetic retinopathy can be divided into two types:

• Early diabetic retinopathy
• Advanced diabetic retinopathy

Early Diabetic Retinopathy is also called as non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy or NPDR. In this situation new blood vessels are not being developed. 

When suffering from NPDR diabetic eye problem, the walls of the blood vessels in retina weakens. These weakened walls cause swelling of the blood vessels, this kind of swelling is called as “microaneurysms”. Due to these microaneurysms there is leakage of fluid and blood into retina.

Along with the leakage of fluid and blood, the larger retinal vessels start to dilate and can the size of the vessels become irregular. With blockage of more blood vessels, NPDR can become severe. 

Due to above causes another condition may develop where nerve fibers in retina start to swell. In some instances, the central part of retina known as “macula” starts swelling. This swelling of retina is called as “macular edema” and this condition requires treatment or else it may cause severe damage to eye and retina and, may lead to vision loss.

Advanced Diabetic Retinopathy, also called as proliferative diabetic retinopathy is severe case of diabetic retinopathy. In this type of retinopathy, the damaged blood vessels get pinched causing starvation of retina, to avoid this there is growth of new blood vessels but, these new vessels are abnormal. These new vessels can leak and release fluids which fills center of the eye known as vitreous gel.

As these new blood vessels are fragile and prone to bleeding and fluid leaks, it also causes scarring of tissues which can retinal detachment. Retinal detachment is a phenomenon where retina within the eye detaches and shifts from its original position. This detachment and shifting of retina can cause permanent vision loss.

If there is any interference from the newly developed blood vessels to the flow of fluids in the eye, it can lead to increase in the pressure within the eye. The excess pressure can damage the optic nerve and it can result into glaucoma.

Symptoms of Diabetic Retinopathy

At early stages of diabetic retinopathy there may not be any noticeable symptoms but, as the condition progresses further, you may notice symptoms like

• Spots or dark strings floating in field of vision
• Blurred vision
• Impaired vision
• Fluctuating vision
• Dark/empty spots in field of vision
• Vision loss

Note that diabetic retinopathy will not affect single eye, both eyes are affected by it.

Available treatments for Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy can only be treated by surgical method or laser treatment. The treatments available are

• Photocoagulation: In this treatment an ophthalmologist will seal blood vessels which are causing damage to eyes by making tiny burns on the affected areas. This usually stops the growth of blood vessels and leakage of any blood or fluids.
• Scatter Photocoagulation/Pan-retinal Photocoagulation: In this treatment hundreds or dotted lasers are focused on eye which burns on the damaged retina. This treatment is performed to reduce the risk of blindness due to vitreous hemorrhage or retinal detachment. Vitreous hemorrhage is condition where new blood vessels bleed into clear, jelly-like substance at the center if eye. This treatment will only show result if it is performed before subsistent bleeding or detachment. Treatment usually takes place in two or more sittings.
• Vitrectomy: If there is already serious blood loss or retinal detachment then scatter photocoagulation/pan-retinal photocoagulation are not effective treatments. To stop the damage and better recovery from damage, vitrectomy is performed. It is a surgical procedure in which cloudy fluids or scarred tissues are removed from the eye. For this surgery to be a success and for the faster recovery of the patient, the operation need to take place as early as possible.

Diabetic Macular Edema

Diabetic Macular Edema or DME is a diabetic eye condition where the leakage of fluid from damaged blood vessels in retina is accumulated in macula causing its swelling. This condition mostly arises due to complications of diabetic retinopathy. 

Diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema are common problems amongst diabetics and around 28% of the diabetic patients suffer from this diabetic eye disease. People who suffer from diabetic retinopathy have 50% chance of developing DME. 

DME occurs as diabetic retinopathy gets severe and complicated but, it can also occur at any stage of the disease.

DME usually occurs in two forms

• Focal DME, which occurs due to abnormalities in ocular blood vessels.
• Diffuse DME, which occurs when there is widening/swelling of retinal capillaries (thin blood vessels present on retina)

Symptoms of DME

Symptoms of DME are similar to diabetic retinopathy

• Blurred vision
• Spots or dark strings floating in field of vision or Floaters
• Double Vision
• Blindness if left untreated

Available treatments for Diabetic Macular Edema

The available treatments for focal DME and diffuse DME are different but, both of the treatments involve laser procedures. Patients suffering from focal DME are treated by focal laser treatment and to treat diffuse DME, grid laser treatment is used. Both of these treatments are aimed towards stopping of blood and fluid leakage in the macula.

How to prevent diabetic eye problems?

The best way to prevent diabetic eye disease is by controlling diabetes and blood sugar. Having good control on your blood sugar levels and blood pressure and, regular eye check-up is key to preventing diabetic eye problems.

It is also important that early intervention to any eye/vision problems can help avoid severe damage to eye and prevent vision loss.

If you are diabetic then you can reduce risk of diabetic retinopathy by following steps mentioned below:

• Control your blood sugar levels and manage diabetes: Eat healthy and involve yourself into physical activities and make it part of your daily routine. Try doing moderate aerobic exercises on daily basis and keep taking your prescribed medications as per the directions by your physician.
• Control your blood pressure and cholesterol: Same things from the first point apply when controlling blood pressure and cholesterol. Along with healthy eating and aerobic exercises, your focus should also be on shedding few extra pounds from the body. High cholesterol level and high blood pressure increases the risk of diabetic eye diseases.
• Avoid smoking: Due to smoking you raise the risks of various diabetic complications which also includes diabetic retinopathy. By avoiding smoking, you can maintain health of eyes and reduce the risk of any diabetic eye disease. If you are finding it difficult to quit smoking or tobacco, then you should see your doctor for help in quitting. There are groups and organizations which help in smoking addictions and these addictions can also be treated by medications.
• Monitor blood sugar level: If you are diabetic or someone suffering with high blood sugar then you should regularly check your blood sugar level. You can check your blood sugar level at home by using glucometer. Monitoring sugar level can help you understand few important patterns. Consult with your doctor about how frequently blood sugar needs to be checked. Another test you should consider is glycosylated hemoglobin test, this test shows average blood sugar over the period of past two to three months. The result of this test should be below 7%.
• Observe for vision changes: If you experience any sudden vision changes or you notice that your vision has become blurry, spotty or hazy or any other vision changes then, immediately consult with an ophthalmologist.

It is unfortunate that symptoms of any diabetic eye diseases are not distinctively visible at an early stage. Due to this reason, you should regularly go for eye check-up. If you are diabetic then you should get your eyes examined at least once in a year.

Regular thorough checkup for a diabetic patient involves examination of retina, optic nerve, cornea and other parts of an eye. Through this thorough checkup, ophthalmologist can diagnose any diabetic eye disease at an early stage which can save your eyes from severe damage.

If you are regular with your eye checkups then, an early diagnosis is definitely possible and the ophthalmologist can provide better treatment and ensure that your eyes remain healthy. 

The worst thing about the diabetic eye diseases like the ones mentioned in this article are that, once the damage has happened to your eyes is beyond a point then there is no coming back from it, the damage which has happened is permanent. Therefore, through this article I have insisted multiple times that regular eye checkups are crucial for healthy eyes. If diagnosed and treated early your eyes can be saved and damage can be alleviated. Today’s treatment may not be able to completely recover the eyes from serious damage but, these treatments can help you in saving your vision and with low vision aids you can continue enjoying this beautiful world.

Also, you should know that does not necessarily means there will be vision loss but, it can aggravate the causes of it. So, it is best to take diabetes seriously and do the necessary to control it. With controlled diabetic conditions you can avoid most of the complications and have a healthy life.
