Giovedì, Agosto 10, 2023

SANTA BARBARA, CA, Aug. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digital Locations, Inc. (OTCMKTS:DLOC), the developer of a disruptive technology that will deliver high-speed Internet from satellites directly to smartphones all over the world, today announced that in a recent podcast, its CEO, Rich Berliner, spoke with Dr. Althaf Azeez, a research engineer at Oregon State University, about the use of direct messages from NavIC to cell phones to warn communities in advance about natural disasters.

Three satellites of the constellation are placed in geostationary orbit, at 32.5°E, 83°E and 129.5°E respectively, and four satellites are placed in inclined geosynchronous orbit with equatorial crossing of 55°E and 111.75°E respectively, with inclination of 29° (two satellites in each plane).
The ground network consists of control center, precise timing facility, range and integrity monitoring stations and two-way ranging stations.

Storm Antoni: why naming storms is a risky business

Since 2015, the UK’s Met Office has used forenames to label storms, as a strategy for improving people’s awareness of severe weather warnings.

Key Points:

Since 2015, the UK’s Met Office has used forenames to label storms, as a strategy for improving people’s awareness of severe weather warnings.
The list of names for the 2023 storm season was compiled in conjunction with the Irish forecaster Met Éireann and KNMI, the Dutch national weather forecasting service.
Getting the public involved in naming storms injects an element of fun into the otherwise serious business of heightening awareness of perilous weather.

How storm names reflect cultural tendencies

With the exception of Cillian, which was the ninth most popular given to baby boys in Ireland in 2021, the 2022-23 storm names tend not to mirror today’s popular baby names.
Also, the storm names replicate the cultural tendency in Europe and elsewhere for forenames to be gendered.
These elements are considered to be linguistic femininity markers, that is, linguistic features that occur predominantly in female names and only rarely in male names.
Masculine names can hold greater prestige and there is debate about whether storms with feminine names are taken less seriously.

Naming things can adversely impact eponymous people

Using people’s forenames to identify things such as storms, that are not people, can also have unintended consequences.
Naming problems have been a constant thread throughout the pandemic too.
However, it can adversely impact people too.
The naming of storms, streets or buildings is a complicated and risky business precisely because names are not just benign words.
