Telegeography submarine cable map 202011/23/2023 ![]() The industry analyst TeleGeography estimates that more than US$10 billion worth of new subsea cables will enter service between 20, adding to new installations over the previous five years with a combined price tag of US$9.2 billion. Most new deployments are being funded by the likes of Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Meta, which together now account for around two-thirds of all internet traffic-and a jaw-dropping 90% on the busiest trans-Atlantic links. Submarine installations back on the riseĪfter a lull in activity around a decade ago, the last few years have seen a rapid uptick in installations of submarine cables across all major routes. Global Links: The world’s oceans are home to more than 1.3 million km of optical fiber that provides crucial communications links all over the world. These underwater links-which combine ultrafast data transfer with the security and reliability needed to underpin such critical infrastructure-now carry 99% of the world’s telecommunications traffic. But the urgent need for extra bandwidth also extends to the submarine optical cables that provide the crucial connections between continents. The most tangible sign is in the access networks, with dedicated fiber connections now reaching out to homes and businesses to satisfy their increasing dependence on video platforms and cloud computing. Network operators are responding to that surging demand by accelerating plans to add capacity to their infrastructure. (An exabyte is 10 18 bytes, or a billion gigabytes.) According to the Ericsson Mobility Report, the amount of data consumed by the world’s population will more than triple over the next five years, extending beyond 900 exabytes per month by 2027. That trend shows no sign of slowing down, with new applications and services capturing attention and millions more people becoming connected to the internet every year. The spread of streaming services, the advent of 5G mobile networks and the rapid rise of video calling and virtual work during the COVID-19 pandemic boosted global internet usage by almost 30% per year between 20. The world’s growing reliance on mobile and digital technologies is driving a seemingly insatiable demand for data. ![]() Moreover, global capacity is estimated to increase up to 100 percent by the end of 2023.Network operators are laying more submarine cables with ever-higher capacities to support demand for data services. On average, $1.7 billion and over 67,000 route kilometers per year are being invested in submarine cables. During the same timeframe, multiple owner systems account for 61 percent of total investment, single owner systems are responsible for 28 percent, and multilateral development banks (MDBs) have accounted for 11 percent. “The submarine cable market has never been so dynamic.”Īccording to a submarine telecoms industry report, between 2016-2020, submarine fiber design capacity on major routes has increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.4 percent, including upgrades and new system builds. “Over the last decade, we’ve seen content providers emerge as disruptors, ramping up investments to meet global demand for their services,” said TeleGeography research director Alan Mauldin. Google alone has more than 15 subsea cable investments globally, with Firmina being the latest one. These companies have such incredible demand for data center traffic, pushing them to drive projects and route prioritization for submarine cable systems. This clearly indicates that big tech companies - Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Microsoft - are taking a more active role in the submarine cable market. Having accounted for less than 10% prior to 2012, content providers’ share of total subsea cable capacity surged to 66% in 2020. ![]() On TeleGeography’s 2021 Submarine Cable Map, there are 464 cables displayed - 428 are active and 36 are planned. Currently, there are over 1.3 million kms of submarine cables that would wrap around Earth more than 30 times end-to-end. New subsea cables have been deployed across the globe, with more investments to be done in the coming three years.

Criminal records of rittenhouse victims11/23/2023 ![]() Heavy reported that his arrest and case history from the state Department of Justice is much longer than what you can currently find through online court records. He also had a misdemeanor conviction for intoxicated use of a firearm and he received probation in 2015 for that case. Grosskreutz was convicted of a felony but it was later expunged. Unfortunately, he admitted in court that he pointed a handgun at Kyle Rittenhouse right before Rittenhouse shot him. Gaige Grosskreutz was labeled as the “lone survivor” by multiple media outlets and while that is pretty disgusting, he actually looks like a saint compared to Huber and Rosenbaum. “He put a knife to his brother’s left ear and his brother felt it cut.” The defense attorney said that Huber said: “I’m going to burn the house down with all you f***ers in it.” “Huber grabbed his brother by the neck, dug his nails in and choked him for approximately ten seconds,” Chirafisi said. ![]() “ Huber told his brother that if he didn’t start cleaning a room in his house he was going to gut him like a pig,” Chirafisi said in court adding, The New York Post reported, that Huber “did this while holding a 6-inch butcher’s knife to the brother’s stomach.” In court, Rittenhouse’s defense attorney Corey Chirafisi gave more details about the case. He was ordered not to possess weapons and no contact orders were issued. He was also convicted in that case of felony false imprisonment with a dangerous weapon, domestic abuse.Ī charge of second-degree recklessly endangering safety was dismissed and read-in, as was a charge of battery and two charges of disorderly conduct. He was also found guilty of a felony for strangulation and suffocation, domestic abuse. Court records in Wisconsin show that Huber was convicted of disorderly conduct in 2018 as a domestic abuse repeater and was cited for possessing drug paraphernalia. ![]() He attempted suicide.Īnthony Huber also had a criminal history. They include jumping bail and cases for domestic violence and domestic abuse. When his fiancée found pornography on his phone, the Washington Post reported, “Rosenbaum body-slammed her” and ended up in jail. In Wisconsin, he had pending cases and open criminal cases. While in prison in Arizona, he racked up many violations that were violent in nature. Court records also indicate that he had violations while on probation, including using synthetic cannabinoid and alcohol, not participating in sex offender treatment, and accessing sexually oriented materials considered inappropriate. There were five victims, all minor boys.Rosenbaum was convicted in 2016 for interfering with a monitoring device and was placed on lifetime probation in 2002. Some of the counts allege anal rape and oral sex with minors, masturbating in front of a 15-year-old, distributing naked photos of a woman to a minor under age 18, and other similar offenses. He faced 11 charges in the case that landed him as a sex offender and they were amended in a plea deal. According to online court records provided by, Rosenbaum received 10 years in prison in 2002 for sexual contact of a minor, and then was sentenced to 2 years, 6 months for sexual contact of a minor related to the same 2002 incident. His record was over the top even for the typical insane people defending him. Rosenbaum was a registered sex offender and he was on the Wisconsin sex offender registry for an Arizona child molestation case. Unless you are a Hollywood scumbag, you surely know the details of this case so we will skip all the horrific acts that were committed on Kyle Rittenhouse and get right to the background of the very ones that the media, activists and Hollywood elite want you to believe are true victims. With that said, we thought we would let you see just how insane all of this is. Regardless, after viewing the trial testimony and video, it is still hard to understand why the rhetoric and activism is so out of control with Rittenhouse. Who would have ever thought that Black Lives Matter would be so energetic for White Lives and who knew that Hollywood would openly defend pedophilia….ok, we expected that one. ![]() Did anyone actually believe that a white kid shooting three white people would be the face of White Supremacy and terrorism? Law Officer has been around since 2005 and we have seen a lot of crazy stories in that time but even the events before and after the verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse case has us perplexed.

Baking translucent polymer clay smell11/23/2023 You can try adding translucent, if the brand of translucent doesn’t tend to turn yellow or orange. ![]() You can add a lighter color, but it can change the hue, for example, adding cyan to violet or adding yellow to green. The easiest way to compensate for color shifting is to add a little white clay. White and translucent can turn a little gray, yellow or orange, depending upon brand. Red, orange and yellow generally didn’t have a problem. Turquoise, blue, violet and purple were the second worst for darkening when baked. Magenta and green were the worst for darkening when baked, across the board. Translucent Cernit was the second clearest of the brands tested. Opaque white stayed the whitest of all brands, regardless of baking duration. Fimo Pro is a firmer clay, though not as firm as Pardo.Ĭernit Number One colors shifted the most. Translucent does better when used in thin layers cured for the minimum time possible. White and translucent turn orangish when baked too much. Premo was generally the softest, stickiest brand.įimo Pro colors shifted quite a bit. The ultramarine and purple are quite dark. Translucent does better when used in thin layers cured for the minimum time possible. White stayed the whitest of all brands, regardless of baking duration, but unfortunately it broke. Premo did well for lack of color shifting. White tends to yellow the more it’s baked and translucent yellows a lot. Kato was next best for lack of color shifting. Pardo is the firmest clay I tested and needs gentle conditioning and handling. Pardo translucent is the clearest of all brands. White stayed very white and grayed only slightly when baked multiple times. Pardo colors stayed the truest when baked among all other brands. Soufflé is a softer clay, but holds its form and isn’t sticky. Instead they have a nice range of muted colors. Soufflé doesn’t offer the normal primary or secondary colors, translucent or metallics. Soufflé colors didn’t darken in the oven, which was amazing. Some brands have a small range of colors, others have a large range with glitter, glow-in-the-dark, inclusions, colored translucents, etc. ![]() I prefer to mix my own colors unless I need a large quantity of a color that’s available packaged. Primaries, secondaries, black, white, translucent, pearl and metallics are generally all I use. All were baked in two aluminum baking tins, one inverted as a lid with two small ceramic tiles inside.Īll brands, except Soufflé, offer quality primary and secondary colors. The other brands were baked in a preheated oven at the manufacturer’s recommended temperature for 30 minutes. See Double-Baking to Avoid Plaquing in Polymer Clay. Kato and Fimo were double-baked because that makes an improvement. In doing these color tests, I tried to bring out the best in each brand. I’ve written more detailed blog posts on each brand which include more color mixtures: I also wanted to learn which colors shift and how to compensate so hopefully I can avoid being surprised by the colors that come out of the oven. My goal was to educate myself on the colors in each brand. I find it helpful to see all of them in one photograph. More than one blue is needed with some brands, which is why there are eight colors for some and nine for others. I tried to compare apples to apples by using similar colors from each brand. ![]() Raw polymer clay colors are beautiful, but what really matters is what they look like after they’re baked.
