LPU bags INR 9 crore Project from European Commission for research on Sports Education
Lovely Professional University has bagged a project of INR 9 Crores from the prestigious European Commission to lead a consortium of 11 universities to research Sports Education in India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia under the Erasmus plus project. This initiative is aimed at capacity building in the field of Sports, Physiotherapy, and Physical Education through research and community development. Out of the 1005 applications that the project received from across the globe, LPU became the only university from India to be designated the lead coordinator.
The European Union’s Erasmus+ program is a funding scheme to support activities in the fields of education, training, youth, and sport. Erasmus+ funds academic mobility and cooperation projects that involve partners from “Programme Countries” and “Partner Countries” throughout the world. Erasmus+ supports activities that are closely matched with the EU’s priorities for cooperation policy with partner countries and regions. This is the third time in a row that LPU has won the Erasmus grant. The other universities which are a part of the consortium led by LPU include International School of Business & Research, Bharati Vidyapeeth University, Edulab educational exchange, Bogor agricultural university, Syiah Kuala University, Indonesia, Universitat Politecnica De Valencia, Universidade De Lisboa, Universitas Sumatera Utara, Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka, University of Peradeniya, and Universitas Syiah Kuala.
Under this project, the consortium will research models and strategies followed for imparting sports education at different levels of education (higher, vocational, secondary, and primary) in India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. It will be conducted in voluntary convergence with the industry and the learnings from the research will be shared with educational institutions and policymakers, the European Commission, and also various government bodies to improve social inclusion in sports. The project was led by Supriya Mathew, Deputy Director, International Affairs under the guidance of Aman Mittal, Head Division of International Affairs, LPU.
The project will address the challenges that adversely impact the delivery of quality education in sports and employability in the sector. It will support the modernization, innovation, and accessibility of physiotherapy, sports, and physical education and endorse sports and its diverse applications in these countries. The consortium will also study the dynamics between sports and social inclusion and will put the learnings into practice. The project is also aimed at merging the conceptual and practical links between sports and health. This will enable development for future research and practice.
Ashok Mittal, Chancellor, Lovely Professional University said, “It is a moment of pride for us to be the only university from the country to lead an Erasmus project. Sports can actually lead to social inclusion for many. I am confident that this project will help provide a boost to sports and physiotherapy in our country.”
Sports has always been a prime focus for LPU. To promote inclusion in sports, LPU offers scholarships as high as 100% fee waiver and provides world-class training and facilities. Some of the leading Indian athletes including – the Indian Boxing Champion, Manju Rani who scripted history by becoming the first Indian woman boxer in 18 years to enter the finals of Women’s World Boxing Championship in her maiden appearance and Unnati Sharma who won Silver Medal in National Senior Ranking Judo Championship 2019, have been the students of LPU. The university has also recently emerged as a champion amongst all the private universities in the country by bagging 23 medals (i.e. 9 gold, 6 silver and 8 bronze medals) in Khelo India University Games 2020.

Miért Spanyolország?
Mint már említettem, számomra nem volt kérdés a megpályázott célország. Elsőre oda és vissza voltam a spanyol kulturától (már mielőtt először jártam volna az országban). Ezért is döntöttem el még az itthoni egyetemen, hogy elkezdek spanyolul tanulni, így kint még jobban tudom majd fejleszteni a nyelvi készségeimet. Anyanyelvi környzeteben tanulni a spanyolt egy rendkívül nagy lehetőség volt számomra. Biztos vagyok benne, hogy ezt az “előnyt” mind későbbi tanulmányaim, mind karrierem során hasznosítani fogom. 
Számomra, mint turizmus-vendéglátáson tanuló hallgató, rendkívül fontos volt, hogy legalább egyszer megtapasztaljam milyen egy idegen kultúrában élni. Az egész turisztikai piac idegen országokból származó utazókra épül. Úgy gondolom, hogy a külföldi kultúrák/emberek megismerése az egyik alapvető eleme a “turizmus” szakon tanuló hallgatók számára. 
Pályázáskor az első helyre egy kisebb egyetemvárost (Gandia) jelöltem meg, ami egyórára délre található Valencia-tól. Szerencsémre meg is nyertem az első helyen megjelölt egyetemet (Universitat Politecnica de Valencia- Campus de Gandia). Csodás tengerpartja és a város legköre azonnal elvarázsolt! Már az első napon mikor megérkeztem, éreztem a magyar és a spanyol mindennapok közötti különbséget.Hihetetlen volt felfogni, hogy az emberek nem rohannak, hogy minél gyorsabban el tudják ügyeiket rendezni és figyelnek egymásra.

Fabrican en Espana la primera moto electrica con tecnologia blockchain
New Post has been published on https://cfddesk.net/fabrican-en-espana-la-primera-moto-electrica-con-tecnologia-blockchain/
Fabrican en Espana la primera moto electrica con tecnologia blockchain
Se llama Gatto G1 y es la primera moto electrica con tecnologia blockchain. Fue fabricada en Valencia, Espana, informo este 10 de febrero el medio de comunicacion Valencia Plaza.
Se trata de una MaxiScooter deportiva disenada por los ingenieros espanoles Jose Campillo y Jose Soriano, ambos graduados de la Universitat Politecnica de Valencia (UPV), que no es solo atractiva, autonoma e inteligente, sino potente: puede acelerar de 0 a 100 km/h en tres segundos.
Los creadores explicaron al portal de noticias que para hacer que Gatto G1 fuese una realidad en cuanto a su diseno, debieron idear y ensamblar por cuenta propia las baterias de 14,4 kWh de energia de la motocicleta que le permiten alcanzar los 300 kilometros de autonomia en su ciclo de homologacion.
Mas de este tema: Startup de venta al por menor de coches se lanzara al mercado blockchain con datos historicos de vehiculos en vivo
Y aunque al principio lucharon para ocultar de la vista la ingenieria interna, al final decidieron dejar expuestos, y con orgullo, los circuitos y la bateria autoportante formada por 70 kilos de litio importado desde Corea del Sur. “Queremos que las miradas al encender la moto se vayan hacia las baterias, guiadas por unos leds de baja intensidad”, declaro Campillo a Valencia Plaza.
?Y cual es el papel de la tecnologia blockchain en este prototipo ya de por si futurista? El de validar todos los datos de la motocicleta a traves de un registro incorruptible, inmutable y confiable. Desde los kilometros de viaje, las revisiones, las reparaciones y hasta la cantidad de caidas sufridas. Todo eso e incluso mas, ya que mas adelante se podran sumar elementos de medicion. “Queremos que para la venta de segunda mano no haga falta ver la moto”, dijo Campillo al respecto.
La Gatto G1 cuenta con puerto USB para movil, pantalla LCD para directrices, arranque desde llavero movil (sin necesidad de llaves), etc. Ademas, el sistema de carga va desde el Schuko (sistema de toma de corriente compuesto por base y clavija) hasta la toma tipo 2 rapida que asegura una carga completa en menos de dos horas.

Pero todos los demas elementos que hacen unica a esta motocicleta electrica de financiacion propia -que busca competir con la T-Max de Yamaha y la C-Evolution de BMW-, seran desvelados el proximo 20 de febrero en un evento especial en el Puerto de Valencia, Espana.
Por ahora, los creadores aseguran que fabricaran 50 unidades por dia de la Gatto G1 y las distribuiran a traves de representantes locales, bien sea en canales digitales o presenciales.
Aunque Gatto G1 es la primera moto electrica que utiliza tecnologia blockchain, no es el primer medio de transporte en usarla. Porsche, el gran fabricante de automoviles, ya habia comenzado a aplicar la tecnologia de cadena de bloques en sus unidades, como informo Cointelegraph en febrero de 2018.
No dejes de leer: El propietario de Tesla S usa su auto para minar Bitcoin
Lo hizo en una alianza con la startup alemana XAIN. La estrategia contemplo potenciar funcionalidades de los vehiculos de la marca como la apertura, cierre, bloqueo o autorizacion de acceso temporal de puertas desde una app, y el registro inmutable de toda la data de la performance del auto. Todo esto con miras a incrementar la seguridad y el buen desempeno de los automoviles autonomos.
En un comunicado de prensa, el estratega financiero de Porsche, Oliver Doring dijo entonces: “Podemos utilizar Blockchain para transferir datos de forma mas rapida y segura, lo que ofrece a nuestros clientes mas tranquilidad en el futuro, ya sea que esten cargando, estacionando o necesiten dar a un tercero, como un agente de paqueteria, acceso temporal al vehiculo. Traducimos la tecnologia innovadora en beneficios directos para el cliente”.
Y es que bien lo reseno el diario El Pais en junio del ano pasado: “blockchain puede cambiar drasticamente la forma con la que concebimos la automocion”.

Justo en ese articulo se informo sobre el proyecto espanol llamado Blockchain Car de la empresa Caelum Labs, con el que se propusieron prototipos de aplicaciones de blockchain a la industria automotor. A esa iniciativa, que cuenta con un presupuesto de EUR 300.000, se sumaron importantes companias espanolas como Vodafone.
Alex Puig, impulsor de Alastria, el consorcio espanol que busca la proteccion de la identidad digital a traves de la cadena de bloques, y lider de Blockchain Car, dijo a El Pais que esta tecnologia no solo permitira crear la identidad digital del vehiculo, sino tambien conocer de forma fidedigna el registro de toda actividad del automovil, incluyendo la velocidad de circulacion, cuantas visitas al taller ha realizado o cuantas piezas originales han sido cambiadas.
Con esta data inmutable, “se podria facilmente cambiar un seguro a terceros por otro a todo riesgo si, por ejemplo, nos vamos de fin de semana a la montana”, concluyo Puig.

St Oil on wood 30 x 30 cm Happy to be part of the group exhibition "Lugares comunes" at #plasticmurs together with great painters and friends #aaferdu #mikel.delrio #issesma and #jose_luis_cena Opening tonight at 19:30h "Depict life with painting and its evolution is the common place of the coherent selection of the exhibition. Shows painting built from a photographic view, even cinematic, with urban sensitivity, and the desire to transcend the ephemeral. Intentionality connects the artists, those who resort to the painted image that reveals, and to the material, the oil, wich sets that moment before it’s oblivion. Aaron Duval fills with tragic sense, brilliant metaphor of wild youth, with dense brush strokes full of material. In addition, he knows how to paint light as spark. This dichotomy between the dark (deep black ivory) and light (broken white titanium) continues on Mikel del Rio paintings: subjugates his well produced canvases and raw subjects, night and youth, perhaps alienated. Sebas Velasco, equaly solvent with any technique, size and surface, also performs murals of astonishing naturalism, expertly integrated in the decayed architecture. Its characters, close heroes, are graffiti writers or significant people to the author. Velasco is always kind with life and its subjects. Iñigo Sesma, concerned about his social and historical context, apprehends reality (key of all poetry) with the visual images that consumes: analog and digital photographs, movies, cinema and its frames, television, Internet... then reconstructs plastically the digested. The result is paint, skill and thinking. Jose Luis Ceña paints the joy of life or the strangeness of dreams and the absurd. He doesn’t suffer cromophobia and knows harmonies of adjacent colors, the elegance of purple next to emerald or blues and saturated oranges. The magic of complementary palettes and describes the movement of drawing the gesture of the flat brush. But he has his own secrets. It’s ok like this, without telling. No more." text by: #juancanales_1 Universitat Politecnica de Valencia #sebasvelasco #superamaraboys #plasticmurs #lugarescomunes

LES RAMSAY, YOU GO DISCO & I'LL GO MY WAY    
at Galerie Antoine Ertaskiran 
FEBRUARY 22 - MARCH 25 2017
OPENING: WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 22, 5-8PM
Galerie Antoine Ertaskiran is delighted to present You Go Disco & I’ll Go My Way, by Vancouver based artist Les Ramsay. This exhibition focuses on a new body of work comprised of paintings, sculptures and embroideries. Continuing a practice that combines textiles with painting, Ramsay’s works are part of an aesthetics of domestic kitsch and folk art in which the boundary between a sincere nostalgia and an underlying irony is increasingly blurred. These new paintings and embroideries make up an assemblage of second-hand textiles, sometimes displaying traditional quilt motifs or bearing the artist’s brush strokes. The various fabrics, thus sewn by the artist to form a canvas, interweave in an emotion of care and abandonment. The cross stiches and embroideries that intersperse the works function like tiny windows opening on familiar images in art history, from interior Flemish scenes to vast Canadian landscapes. Ramsay’s works reflect the manual labour associated with handicraft and are for the most part punctuated by female figures serenely carrying their tasks out. These scenes of women at work, surrounded by cats, show artificial environments that seem to question the very notion of comfort. Ramsay’s work repeats and deforms these mise-en-abymes all the while blurring the modernist traditions associated with the purity of the medium. Drawing inspiration from the Cubists and Dadaists’ calling into question of perceptual and spatial certainties, Ramsay makes use of the materiality of everyday objects to explore the borders of contemporary painting. In creating unexpected compositions and relationships between household materials and painting, the artist generates different reading levels, which stimulate the viewer to entertain various evocative and personal metaphors. Les Ramsay was born in Vancouver where he currently lives and works. He studied fine arts at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, at Universitat de Politecnica in Valencia (Spain) and completed his MFA at Concordia University in 2015. He has taken part in group and solo shows such as Border X, presented at Winnipeg Art Gallery (2016), Retreat of the Horstman at the Field Contemporary in Vancouver (2016), Ignition 10 at the Leonard and Bina Ellen Gallery Montréal (2014), Keep the Glove at Sunset Terrace in Vancouver (2014) or De-Accessioned Group Show at the Cooper Cole Gallery in Toronto (2012). He also has exhibited in Canada, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany as well as in the US. His works can be found in many private and corporate collections such as The Claridge Collection, Medcan and the TD Bank collection.
The artist would like to thank the Canada Council for the Arts for its financial support.
