OG0-081 reality - TOGAF 8 Certification for Practitioners Updated: 2023

It’s WWDC time again, which means Apple is showing off the new features in its suite of operating systems—including, this year, a huge update for the software that powers Apple Watch. Currently available in beta and expected to launch later this year, watchOS 10 boasts lots of new features, including enhanced watch faces, more useful mental health apps, and offline maps.

Before you get too excited, check if your Apple Watch will get watchOS 10 this fall, because Apple will only be releasing the update to devices paired with phones running iOS 17. This means that you’ll need an iPhone XS, iPhone XR, or newer devices to get watchOS 10—oh, and an Apple Watch Series 4 (or newer), of course..

Here are the best new watchOS 10 features to watch for:

Smart Stack enhances your watch face

Smart Stack is a fundamental feature of watchOS 10. It allows you to access important information such as the currently playing song, weather, activity stats, etc. directly from the watch face. In older versions of watchOS, you’d have to press the side button to access some of this information; in watchOS 10, you can rotate the Digital Crown directly from the watch face to see it. Smart Stack also adapts to your usage to prioritize relevant information.

A new way to open Control Center

On watchOS 10, you can open the Control Center by pressing the side button. This feels like a much more reliable way to access it than swiping up on a tiny display.

Full-screen apps

Apple’s own apps such as Weather, Messages, Maps, and others will use more of your Apple Watch’s display in watchOS 10. On a device where screen real estate is precious, it only makes sense to use every available millimeter of it.

New watch faces

watchOS 10 adds fun new watch faces called Palette and Snoopy. The former shows time in different colors and overlapping layers, while the latter brings everyone’s favorite Peanuts characters to the Apple Watch.

Improvements for cycling workouts

Cyclists will enjoy the new metrics that watchOS 10 can track. A new view called Power Zones will allow you to track the intensity of your cycling workout, which is great for effort-based training. You can also automatically connect your Apple Watch to Bluetooth-enabled cycling accessories that can measure your cadence, speed, and power. There’s also a new live activity for your iPhone that makes it easy to see cycling metrics on the phone during your ride.

Don’t have an Apple Watch yet? Need a new one? watchOS 10 will be compatible with Apple Watch Series 4 devices and newer, paired with iPhone Xs or later (running iOS 17).

Enhanced hiking workouts

With watchOS 10, the Compass app will be able to generate a few useful waypoints such as Last Cellular Connection. This will allow you to trace your route to the last place where you had cellular reception. You’ll also see a nicer 3D view of saved waypoints, and in the U.S., you’ll also be able to see a topographic map of hikes showing hill shading, points of interest, and elevation data.

Log your mental health

watchOS 10 will allow you to log mental health data. The Mindfulness app will let you record your state of mind, and you can go to the Health app on your iPhone to see how your mental health corresponds with your activity levels. This could help you find parallels between exercise levels and your mood.

There’s another new feature that checks ambient light levels and encourages you to spend more time in daylight. This can benefit physical and mental health, but the feature has also been designed to promote better vision health. Spending more time in daylight can reduce the risk of myopia, and this feature can help you track if you’re on course to avoid this vision impairment.

NameDrop is coming to the Apple Watch too

A new iOS 17 feature—NameDrop—that allows you to bring your iPhone close to another iPhone to quickly exchange contact information is also coming to Apple Watch, with watchOS 10, will also support the same feature. You can bring the Apple Watch close to another Apple Watch or an iPhone to use this feature.

Group FaceTime Audio

watchOS 10 adds support for group FaceTime Audio calls on the Apple Watch. You can also preview video messages left via FaceTime, directly on the Apple Watch.

Better navigation with Apple Maps

You’ll be able to get maps on Apple Maps for offline navigation. This a companion feature for Apple Maps on iOS 17, which supports offline maps. Offline navigation is pretty useful to save battery or when network is unavailable or spotty.

Access to healthcare is a fundamental right for every citizen. However, the reality is that not everyone can afford quality healthcare services. This is especially true for the middle-income group which makes up 36% of the total population of the country. The middle-income group refers to a group of people who neither qualify for government-funded healthcare programs nor are wealthy enough to afford expensive private healthcare services. The result is that people in this group are often one medical emergency away from financial ruin.

A Niti Aayog study has also pointed to the need for health insurance for this section of the Indian population. Currently, the central and state governments have floated schemes such as the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY), in an effort to make healthcare accessible to the below poverty line families. But the section of the population that makes up the middle-income group is left out, making them more vulnerable to high out-of-pocket expenditures (OOPE).

As a fast-growing nation and an aspiring superpower, we cannot afford to not have a basic need like healthcare or for it to remain unaddressed for such a large section of the population. As one tries to look for potential solutions, a few themes can be looked at.

Making quality healthcare discoverable: 

In healthcare policy, people often talk about “access” to medical care, but sometimes the real solution is to help patients discover good doctors and hospitals. In big cities, there are some really good mid-sized hospitals run by great doctors. These hospitals are a good choice for people in the middle-income groups in India who want high-quality care that’s affordable and convenient. But even then it’s tough to choose the right hospital due to a lack of information like the success rate of the hospital, quality of clinical protocols, quality of medical staff, etc.

Healthcare is different from other industries, where agencies certify the safety or quality of products like mileage or safety ratings of cars, energy ratings for appliances and even organic certification for food. Patients are left to decide on their own when it comes to healthcare. This needs to change. NABH accreditation is a good start, but more needs to be done to raise awareness about it.

Another option is for private organizations to create networks of high-quality hospitals and clinics based on clinical assessment. Ideally, patients should have a label or name they can trust with confidence. Otherwise, they may continue to rely on large government hospitals or well-known private establishments, like always.

Wider insurance coverage and financing options: 

In order to alleviate the OOPE burden on this section of the population, new health insurance schemes can be devised in order to facilitate increased coverage. Easy financing options along with this can ease the burden significantly.

With AB-PMJAY, the government has spelled out its intent to be a payer while the private sector takes on the task of delivery. A public-private partnership could extend this coverage to the middle-income segment of the Indian population. Since the government has already set up infrastructure from managing claims to processing payments, private organizations could use it to offer cheaper insurance schemes. This would also help smaller insurance companies that don’t have big networks to build on top of the existing PM-JAY network. We’ve seen this work with UPI in the finance sector earlier.

Increased health awareness: 

Early diagnosis and prevention can lower healthcare costs. Making healthcare more accessible and convenient is the key, such as health check-ups would increase if free home sample pick-up is available. With the rise in Telemedicine and AI, simple diagnostic tools can be used on a basic smartphone, helping people understand their symptoms better.

Improved price transparency:  

Offering premium medical services at a ‘fixed cost’ can help patients make better decisions and reduce the stress of high medical bills. Healthcare providers can use this transparent pre-determined pricing feature to provide a unique experience not currently available in healthcare.

Way forward

The middle-income group of India is most definitely suffering from healthcare accessibility issues, and delivering universal access to healthcare for this section of the population remains a big challenge. Collaborative efforts between the government and the private sector will provide sustainable solutions to ease healthcare financing hurdles. This is a sector full of opportunities that will reward solutions that can provide an out of the box solution for what is a unique problem.

The pre-certification by IGBC is a testament to Rajyash Group's commitment to creating sustainable and eco-friendly projects.

Rajyash Group, a leading real estate developer in India, is proud to announce that its flagship project, Rajyash Regius, has received pre-certification from the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) for demonstrating a strong intent to design and build a high-performance building that meets the highest standards of environmental sustainability.

Rajyash Regius, a luxurious residential project located in the prime location of Central Bopal, Ahmedabad, has been designed to cater to the needs of modern-day homebuyers who are looking for a comfortable and eco-friendly lifestyle.

BROWNSVILLE - One of the key steps in building wealth is homeownership, but this is one that is still so much harder to attain for people coming from underserved communities of color. That's the goal for a community program aimed at closing this gap.  

"We didn't have things around here that look like this," David Gause, Level One Property Co-President said.  

Gause and his business partner, Vernon Quinn grew up in Brownsville, a historically Black neighborhood.  

"I'd rather glorify the love and the happy moments of us growing up in this neighborhood it actually builds character," Quinn said.

But the community does face some challenges. The median income for Brownsville according to the latest Census Bureau is $30,000, and the poverty rate is at 36%, compared to the county's which is 15.2%.  So, an area in need of uplifting.

"This was an infill lot, we were given those lots for $1,000 to tell you the truth, the county let us buy them, we took them and we built houses on them," Robert Joaquin Wallis, Collective Empowerment Group CEO said.

Through CEG and financing from the Florida Community Loan Fund, they're stepping in for support, to make homeownership possible for some who just need a little support to get there.

"To keep in people in this neighborhood healthy and not leave it to gentrification," Wallis added.

The home being sold in Brownsville this Tuesday is the first of 28 lots the group has been working to develop. 

The new homeowner didn't want to be identified because of the trauma she went through. She lost her son to a drive-by shooting, that set off a chain of events that caused her to lose the home she inherited from her mother, her job, and spiral.  She was eventually able to turn her life around, but home ownership was still far from her grasp until now.  

"She got a subsidy after doing home buyers certification training so we're helping out families learn how to manage money how to balance budgets and be ready to own," Wallis explained.

It's hoped that helping people into a new home will also help build the community up stronger, and preserve the historic area.

"Being a homeowner, it makes someone have a love for a neighborhood, if you have renters in a neighborhood you don't have a lot of compassion but by you having ownership now, you're going to be more concerned," Quinn said.

The Emirates Group is embarking on a futuristic, immersive digital journey to transform its employee experiences – a first for the industry – by collaborating with Amazon Web Services (AWS). Both organisations have signed an agreement to develop an immersive Extended Reality (iXR) platform and capability for the Emirates Group’s cabin crew, new joiners, and the wider industry partner community. 3D virtual hubs, virtual training, gamified environments, simulated experiences – all this and infinitely more are in the offing as the Group adds on ground-breaking features and technology to the platform.

iXR, powered by AWS spatial computing and artificial intelligence, will deliver technical capabilities with photorealistic experiences. Designed to meet employees on their stomping grounds, iXR experiences will be available across next-gen wearables and hand-held devices, including tablets and mobiles, with a consistent, hi-fidelity experience, streamed from the cloud.

In the first phase, iXR will have three distinct capabilities – a collaborative hub and social space; cabin crew training; and employee onboarding. An Emirates Virtual Hub will welcome employees to engaging and interactive brand experiences.

iXR will introduce an unparalleled 3D interactive experience to the airline’s award-winning cabin crew by leveraging advanced technology to create a truly immersive environment. Here, crew will be transported into a meticulously constructed digital universe with virtual classrooms, engage with and learn from seasoned facilitators and peers, and navigate the intricate interiors of the airline’s flagship A380s and Boeing 777s. The environment will feature cabin service trainers, photorealistic avatars, and spatial audio for an authentic, sensory experience that enhances Emirates’ hospitality ethos.

The hyperreal virtual world will enable the Emirates Group’s new recruits to quickly and visually learn more about the organisation and its extensive business, the people and its culture, their own roles, and living in Dubai. Embedded support services will create a seamless onboarding experience for successful candidates.

Adel Al Redha, Emirates’ Chief Operating Officer said: “The Emirates Group is synonymous with innovation and for always setting the bar high in the aviation industry. Our vision is to build a meaningful, practical and rewarding XR capability that takes advantage of AI’s evolution. We are using XR capability that is scalable and spans across the breadth of our Group’s brands and businesses. In the first phase, iXR will help cabin crew interact and familiarise themselves with the platform in an interactive, high-fidelity 3D environment which they can explore at their convenience, leading to greater knowledge transfer and employee satisfaction. During this phase, we will also develop our employee experience using iXR to seamlessly assimilate our people within the Group’s business, community and culture.

“iXR, which is on-track for launch later in the year, will establish us as the first and only airline with an embedded extended reality platform connecting its operations. It reflects our commitment to spearhead and entrench innovation and cutting-edge technologies in aviation for the benefit of our customers, communities and the industry.”

Al Opher, VP of Professional Services, AWS said: “Extended Reality (XR) is a rapidly emerging technology that will propel the aviation industry into the future. It will have a profound impact on training, design, and innovative service propositions in safe environments that are immersive, performance-oriented, and efficient. We are thrilled to support the Emirates Group’s transition into the 3D Web era by offering expertise in infrastructure, AI, and spatial computing solutions as well as our AWS Professional Services colleagues – global experts in these fields – to bring this technology to life. This collaboration will further equip Emirates employees to deliver unique and consistent end customer experiences. Together, we are revolutionizing the travel industry and raising the bar for new, exemplary experiences.”

iXR will feature advanced technologies including Epic Games’ Unreal Engine, the world’s most open and advanced real-time 3D tool, offering developers flexible, scalable, secure, and reliable real-time capabilities on AWS’ cloud. Dubai and the UAE are blazing the way in the digital economy with a clear vision, supported by practical policies and regulatory frameworks across virtual assets, AI, and data protection.

The Emirates Pavilion at Expo 2020 is being repurposed as a hub to develop cutting-edge future experiences aligned with the UAE’s vision for the digital economy. The Emirates Group continues to engage with industry partners on its Web3 strategy, and recruit talent for projects in its pipeline.

Emirates pioneered web virtual reality (VR) technology on emirates.com and its app more than 6 years ago, offering an immersive 3D, 360-degree view of its aircraft cabin interiors. Emirates also has its own VR app on the Oculus store, offering users accurate, life-size and interactive cabin interior experiences onboard Emirates’ flagship A380s and Boeing 777-300ER Gamechanger aircraft.

The Jacksonville Jaguars held their 7th out of 10 voluntary OTA practices today. Although OTAs end on Thursday, the mandatory minicamp starts next week! Minicamp will last from June 12th - 14th and will conclude the Jaguars’ offseason program. To start the final week of OTAs, Coach Doug Pederson and Defensive Coordinator Mike Caldwell met with the media.

Pederson spoke briefly about how pleased he is with the participation during the voluntary practices, with the number of players that have shown up, and how coaches are able to take things they learned from last season and get things on film. Pederson said overall he’s happy with the offseason thus far. He also said he’s decided how he’s going to handle minicamp but will probably not be sharing that.

When asked about the pass rush, Pederson said, “There’s going to be guys probably going into training camp, there’s going to be guys coming out of training camp that we’ll take a look at, but those are all things and conversations for down the road. We’ve been pleased with the guys that are here and working, and you know, we’ve just got to get them better and ready to go.”

The absence of Josh Allen and Evan Engram has been noted over the past two weeks, Doug Pederson stated Josh Allen’s position coach, Bill Shuey, has probably talked to him the most and has been keeping Pederson updated. Pederson also noted that Allen is working and isn’t taking the time off. Josh Allen is expected to be at next week’s minicamp. Pederson said Gerritt Prince, Luke Farrell, and Brenton Strange have been able to take on extra reps without Engram there.

When asked about linebacker Travon Walker, Pederson said “He’s working on the things he needs to work on”, and he will have some cross-training with defensive lineman coach Brentson Buckner. On how he’s feeling about Andre Cisco: “Really good. A little bit bigger. A lot of confidence. Healthy. He’s done a really nice job. Him and Rayshawn having a full season together last year is going to be better for those two on the back end and the communication. Like where he’s at. He’s in a good place”.

Coach Pederson was also asked about expectations for the upcoming season. He stated that it falls on him to make sure the team doesn't look past what they’re trying to accomplish today. “Last year is last year.” He also thinks the roster is in a better place when it comes to depth than it was last year. “Right now, I would say everything looks great”.

When Defensive Coordinator Mike Caldwell spoke about the team’s nickel situation, he stated Tre Herndon was the nickel that “settled us down” in 2022, and it’s currently an open competition, but he should have an idea by the first preseason game. When asked about Devin Lloyd, Caldwell said he's in a good spot mentally and physically. He also noted that he can see the growth in Travon Walker. When asked about the depth of the roster, Caldwell said, “It’s tough on us to find a way to get everyone on the field, but that’s a good problem to have”.

Our QB1 also met with the media today following the practice. Lawrence said, “This is the first time in a while I haven’t had to learn a new offense.”

There were also some Jaguars legends in the building for practice today! The group included one of my favorite Jaguars, Big John Henderson.

Mia O’Brien noted that Erick Hallett worked with the safeties today after working with the cornerbacks during previous OTAs.

Since it was the final media day for OTAs, I added a few more clips to this week’s roundup.
