One of the Greatest Inventions of All Time

Nikola Tesla has many revolutionary inventions to his credit, but he is best known for his pioneering work in the development and promotion of alternating current (AC) electrical systems. Tesla's innovations in AC technology revolutionized the generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical power, becoming the foundation for the modern electrical power systems that we use today.

There is a common misconception made that Tesla was the first to invent, or discover, AC, but this is not true. It is well-known that Hippolyte Pixii was the first to discover AC in 1832. Pixii was an instrument maker from Paris who built an early form of an alternating current electrical generator (based on the principle of electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday), and thus started a new industry in power transmission. Tesla was not the first to discover or invent an AC motor, but he was the first to invent a practical AC induction motor with commercial value that could outperform all other motors. It must be noted that Italian inventor Galileo Ferraris also invented an induction motor similar to Tesla's, but it had no commercial value, and he even admitted himself that it was useless. Tesla's induction motor operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction, properly utilizing a rotating magnetic field that induces a current in a stationary conductor, resulting in rotational motion. The utilization of the rotating magnetic field makes the motor more simple, robust, versatile, efficient, and cost effective in that it has less moving parts reducing the likelihood of mechanical failure (as was common in other motors).

Tesla's induction motor became a fundamental component in the field of electrical engineering and is used today in various applications, being one of the most widely used devices in the world. The motors play a crucial role in transmitting electrical power to homes and businesses. They are commonly used in power generation plants to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, which is then transmitted through the power grid for distribution to various locations. Induction motors are also widely employed in appliances and machinery within homes and businesses for various applications. These applications include conveyor systems, hoists, cranes, lifts, pumps, fans, ventilation systems, compressors, manufacturing machinery, wind turbines, washing machines, refrigerators, garbage disposals, microwaves, dishwashers, vacuums, air conditioners, robotics, electric vehicles, trains, power tools, printers, etc. Basically, anything that requires a spinning action for power.

The induction motor is widely considered one of the most important inventions in the history of electrical engineering. Its importance lies in its transformative impact on industries, its efficiency and reliability, and its role in the broader electrification of society.

Astrophysicists use echoes of light to illuminate black holes

A team of astrophysicists, led by scholars from the Institute for Advanced Study, has developed an innovative technique to search for black hole light echoes. Their novel method, which will make it easier for the mass and the spin of black holes to be measured, represents a major step forward, since it operates independently of many of the other ways in which scientists have probed these parameters in the past.

The research, published today in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, introduces a method that could provide direct evidence of photons circling black holes due to an effect known as “gravitational lensing.”

Gravitational lensing occurs when light passes near a black hole and its path is bent by the black hole’s strong gravitational field. The effect allows the light to take multiple paths from a source to an observer on Earth: some light rays might follow a direct route while others could loop around the black hole once—or multiple times—before reaching us. This means that light from the same source can arrive at different times, resulting in an “echo.”

“That light circles around black holes, causing echoes, has been theorized for years, but such echoes have not yet been measured,” says the study's lead author, George N. Wong, Frank and Peggy Taplin Member in the Institute’s School of Natural Sciences and Associate Research Scholar at the Princeton Gravity Initiative at Princeton University. “Our method offers a blueprint for making these measurements, which could potentially revolutionize our understanding of black hole physics.”

The technique allows the faint echo signatures to be isolated from the stronger direct light captured by well-known interferometric telescopes, such as the Event Horizon Telescope. Both Wong and one of his co-authors, Lia Medeiros, Visitor in the Institute’s School of Natural Sciences and NASA Einstein Fellow at Princeton University, have worked extensively as part of the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration. 

To test their technique, Wong and Medeiros, working alongside James Stone, Professor in the School of Natural Sciences, and Alejandro Cárdenas-Avendaño, Feynman Fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory and former Associate Research Scholar at Princeton University, ran high-resolution simulations which took tens of thousands of “snapshots” of light traveling around a supermassive black hole akin to that at the center of the M87 galaxy (M87*), which is located around 55 million light-years away from Earth. Using these simulations, the team demonstrated that their method could directly infer the echo delay period in the simulated data. They believe that their technique will be applicable to other black holes, in addition to M87*.

“This method will not only be able to confirm when light orbiting a black hole has been measured, but will also provide a new tool for measuring the black hole’s fundamental properties,” explains Medeiros.

Understanding these properties is important. “Black holes play a significant role in shaping the evolution of the universe,” says Wong. “Even though we often focus on how black holes pull things in, they also eject large amounts of energy into their surroundings. They play a major role in the development of galaxies, affecting how, when, and where stars form, and helping to determine how the structure of the galaxy itself evolves. Knowing the distribution of black hole masses and spins, and how the distribution changes over time, greatly enhances our understanding of the universe.”

Measuring the mass or spin of a black hole is tricky. The nature of the accretion disk, namely the rotating structure of hot gas and other matter spiraling inward towards a black hole, can “confuse” the measurement, Wong notes. Light echoes provide an independent measurement of the mass and spin, however, and having multiple measurements allows us to produce an estimate for those parameters “that we can really believe in,” states Medeiros.

Detecting light echoes might also enable scientists to better test Albert Einstein’s theories of gravity. “Using this technique, we might find things that make us think ‘hey, this is weird!’” adds Medeiros. “The analysis of such data could help us to verify whether black holes are indeed consistent with general relativity.”

The team’s results suggest that it may be possible to detect echoes with a pair of telescopes—one on Earth and one in space—working together to perform what can be described as “very long baseline interferometry.” Such an interferometric mission need only be “modest,” states Wong. Their technique provides a tractable, practical method to gather important, reliable information about black holes.

IMAGE: Due to gravitational lensing, the photons from a single flash of light near a black hole follow winding paths. Some follow the trajectory of the blue line, where they take a direct path to the observer. Others orbit around the black hole once, following the path of the red dashed line. Others still orbit the black hole twice following the green dashed line. Because the different paths all have different time delays, the photons arrive one after another in sequence, and the original flash of light will appear to echo. Credit George N. Wong

From Burnout to Balance: Is Project Resource Planning the Ultimate Solution?

Burnout is no longer a silent intruder in the workplace, it’s a widespread disruption, silently eroding productivity, morale, and innovation. With increasing pressure to meet deadlines, deliver quality outcomes, and align with dynamic goals, teams often find themselves trapped in chaotic workflows. The divide between what is expected and what is delivered continues to grow. This is where a shift towards project resource planning has emerged as a beacon of stability.

A structured approach to resource distribution isn’t merely about scheduling—it’s about restoring order, clarity, and purpose. It offers a comprehensive overview of skills, schedules, and assigned roles. When implemented effectively, it transforms a fractured process into a seamless operation.

The Root Cause of Burnout Lies in Poor Planning

Workforce exhaustion often results from uneven workloads, poorly defined roles, and misaligned priorities. Without visibility into task ownership and team capacity, employees juggle conflicting objectives, causing fatigue and disengagement. Leadership, in such scenarios, often reacts to symptoms rather than solving the underlying problem.

A well-devised planning system allows businesses to align their human capital with real-time project needs. It enables early detection of overload, bottlenecks, and inefficiencies. More importantly, it allows for a preventive, not reactive, managerial style.

Clarity Creates Confidence

When people know what they’re doing, why they’re doing it, and how their contributions affect the bigger picture, confidence and accountability naturally increase. Task transparency reduces confusion and eliminates duplicate efforts. A clearly mapped schedule lets employees manage time more effectively, promoting both efficiency and mental well-being.

Resource forecasting through intelligent tools supports realistic deadlines and reduces rushed outputs. Balanced task assignment nurtures sustained momentum and steady performance without burnout. This clarity becomes the silent catalyst behind exceptional team dynamics.

Turning Data into Action

One of the most profound benefits of structured resource planning lies in turning raw data into strategy. By monitoring time investment, engagement trends, and workflow pacing, leaders can adapt schedules, reallocate resources, or restructure priorities before productivity drops.

More than numbers, it’s about understanding human bandwidth. This employee wellbeing strategy leads to smarter delegation, increased autonomy, and performance-based adjustments—all essential for a healthy work environment.

Building a Culture of Preparedness

Effective planning isn’t just operational—it’s cultural. It breeds discipline, encourages ownership, and ensures employees are equipped to deliver without overstretching. With real-time insights, feedback becomes continuous rather than occasional. It also supports upskilling opportunities by revealing gaps where intervention is required.

By embedding structure into everyday functions, teams become more responsive and less reactive. The culture shifts from chaotic urgency to composed delivery.

STON.fi: A Game-Changer in Decentralized Finance

Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) have revolutionized the way people trade cryptocurrencies, offering greater control and eliminating intermediaries. But despite these advantages, most DEXs lack structured governance, sustainability, and meaningful user incentives. They allow users to swap tokens, but few provide a well-designed system that ensures long-term growth and community participation.

STON.fi goes beyond the conventional DEX model by integrating a governance-driven ecosystem where users are not just traders but active participants in shaping the platform’s evolution.

Why Traditional DEX Models Fall Short

Most decentralized exchanges focus on trade execution and liquidity, ensuring seamless token swaps at competitive rates. However, this model has limitations:

Lack of true decentralization – While transactions are trustless, decision-making is often concentrated in the hands of core developers or liquidity providers.

Weak incentive structures – Liquidity providers are rewarded with fees, but there’s little incentive for long-term engagement.

Limited community involvement – Users participate in trading, but they have no influence over governance or platform development.

These challenges highlight the need for a more sustainable, user-centered approach to DeFi—one that STON.fi is actively solving.

STON.fi’s Unique Approach to Decentralization

STON.fi is built on a foundation of governance, incentives, and user engagement. Instead of just offering a place to swap assets, the platform ensures that users have a direct stake in its success through a dual-layered system:

1. Arkenston – A True Governance Model

Governance in DeFi often ends up being either too centralized or too fragmented, leading to inefficiencies and lack of transparency. STON.fi addresses this by introducing Arkenston, a governance framework that enables token holders to make key decisions, such as:

Voting on protocol upgrades.

Adjusting trading fees and liquidity rewards.

Allocating resources to new platform developments.

This governance model ensures that STON.fi evolves based on community consensus rather than decisions made by a select few. It creates a transparent and sustainable system where users collectively determine the platform’s future.

2. Gemston – A Reward System That Drives Engagement

A strong governance structure is important, but sustained participation is what keeps a decentralized platform thriving. That’s where Gemston, STON.fi’s rewards system, comes in.

Unlike traditional DEX models that only reward liquidity providers, Gemston distributes incentives across multiple user activities, including:

Trading and staking rewards to encourage long-term participation.

Reduced trading fees for active users, making the platform more cost-efficient.

Special benefits for community contributors who help enhance the platform’s ecosystem.

By rewarding users beyond just providing liquidity, STON.fi creates an engaged and self-sustaining community where participation is both beneficial and necessary.

What Makes STON.fi Stand Out

Most decentralized exchanges operate on a linear model—users trade, liquidity providers earn, and the cycle repeats. STON.fi disrupts this cycle by introducing a circular economy where governance and incentives feed into each other:

Governance ensures the platform evolves based on community-driven decisions.

Incentives encourage continuous user engagement, reinforcing the strength of the governance system.

The result is a DEX that is not only decentralized in trading but also in decision-making and growth.

The Future of DeFi is Community-Led

Decentralized finance is evolving, and the next generation of DEXs will be defined by more than just low fees and liquidity pools. The real game-changers will be platforms that:

Give users a say in governance.

Provide financial incentives for long-term participation.

Build sustainable ecosystems rather than short-term profit models.

STON.fi is leading this shift by creating a DEX that is owned, governed, and sustained by its users. As decentralized finance matures, projects that prioritize governance and community participation will set the standard for the industry—and STON.fi is already ahead of the curve.

Moreover, distribution management software provides real-time tracking information, allowing customers to monitor the progress of their orders and receive accurate delivery updates. This transparency boosts consumer satisfaction and confidence.

3. Sales and Scheme Management: Driving Revenue and Customer Loyalty

Integrating distribution management software with sales management software and scheme management software creates a powerful platform for driving revenue and building customer loyalty.

Scheme management software enables businesses to create and manage targeted promotions and incentive programs. This allows them to incentivize sales, move inventory, and reward loyal customers. By integrating this with distribution management software, businesses can ensure that promotional items are readily available and that orders are fulfilled efficiently.

Sales management software provides sales teams with the tools they need to manage leads, track opportunities, and close deals more effectively. By integrating this with distribution management software, sales teams can gain visibility into inventory levels and delivery schedules, allowing them to provide accurate information to customers and avoid promising delivery dates that cannot be met.

Furthermore, by combining data from distribution, sales, and scheme management software, businesses can gain valuable insights into customer behaviour, sales trends, and product performance. This data can be used to make informed decisions about pricing, promotions, and product development, ultimately driving revenue growth and improving profitability.

Conclusion

Investing in a comprehensive software solution that encompasses distribution, sales, and scheme management can be a game-changer for businesses of all sizes.

Chapter IV. Second Period. — Machinery.

“I HAVE witnessed with profound regret the CONTINUANCE OF DISTRESS in the manufacturing districts of the country.”

Words of Queen Victoria on the reassembling of parliament.

If there is anything of a nature to cause sovereigns to reflect, it is that, more or less impassible spectators of human calamities, they are, by the very constitution of society and the nature of their power, absolutely powerless to cure the sufferings of their subjects; they are even prohibited from paying any attention to them. Every question of labor and wages, say with one accord the economic and representative theorists, must remain outside of the attributes of power. From the height of the glorious sphere where religion has placed them, thrones, dominations, principalities, powers, and all the heavenly host view the torment of society, beyond the reach of its stress; but their power does not extend over the winds and floods. Kings can do nothing for the salvation of mortals. And, in truth, these theorists are right: the prince is established to maintain, not to revolutionize; to protect reality, not to bring about utopia. He represents one of the antagonistic principles: hence, if he were to establish harmony, he would eliminate himself, which on his part would be sovereignly unconstitutional and absurd.

But as, in spite of theories, the progress of ideas is incessantly changing the external form of institutions in such a way as to render continually necessary exactly that which the legislator neither desires nor foresees, — so that, for instance, questions of taxation become questions of distribution; those of public utility, questions of national labor and industrial organization; those of finance, operations of credit; and those of international law, questions of customs duties and markets, — it stands as demonstrated that the prince, who, according to theory, should never interfere with things which nevertheless, without theory’s foreknowledge, are daily and irresistibly becoming matters of government, is and can be henceforth, like Divinity from which he emanates, whatever may be said, only an hypothesis, a fiction.

And finally, as it is impossible that the prince and the interests which it is his mission to defend should consent to diminish and disappear before emergent principles and new rights posited, it follows that progress, after being accomplished in the mind insensibly, is realized in society by leaps, and that force, in spite of the calumny of which it is the object, is the necessary condition of reforms. Every society in which the power of insurrection is suppressed is a society dead to progress: there is no truth of history better proven.

And what I say of constitutional monarchies is equally true of representative democracies: everywhere the social compact has united power and conspired against life, it being impossible for the legislator either to see that he was working against his own ends or to proceed otherwise.

Monarchs and representatives, pitiable actors in parliamentary comedies, this in the last analysis is what you are: talismans against the future! Every year brings you the grievances of the people; and when you are asked for the remedy, your wisdom covers its face! Is it necessary to support privilege, — that is, that consecration of the right of the strongest which created you and which is changing every day? Promptly, at the slightest nod of your head, a numerous army starts up, runs to arms, and forms in line of battle. And when the people complain that, in spite of their labor and precisely because of their labor, misery devours them, when society asks you for life, you recite acts of mercy! All your energy is expended for conservatism, all your virtue vanishes in aspirations! Like the Pharisee, instead of feeding your father, you pray for him! Ah! I tell you, we possess the secret of your mission: you exist only to prevent us from living. Nolite ergo imperare, get you gone!

As for us, who view the mission of power from quite another standpoint, and who wish the special work of government to be precisely that of exploring the future, searching for progress, and securing for all liberty, equality, health, and wealth, we continue our task of criticism courageously, entirely sure that, when we have laid bare the cause of the evils of society, the principle of its fevers, the motive of its disturbances, we shall not lack the power to apply the remedy.

How Payout Solutions Drive Financial Inclusion Across Developing Economies ?

Financial inclusion is a critical driver of economic development, particularly in developing economies where access to traditional banking services remains a significant challenge. Payout solutions are emerging as transformative tools to bridge this gap, offering innovative ways to empower underserved populations and integrate them into the financial ecosystem. This article explores how payout solutions contribute to financial inclusion, their benefits, and the role of digital innovation in achieving these goals.

Understanding Payout Solutions

Payout solutions refer to systems and technologies designed to facilitate seamless, secure, and efficient payments to individuals or businesses. These solutions include a wide range of services, such as:

Enhancing Security By employing secure technologies such as encryption and biometric authentication, payout solutions minimize fraud and ensure the safe transfer of funds. This builds trust among users, encouraging wider adoption.

Promoting Financial Literacy Many payout solutions integrate user-friendly platforms and educational tools to help individuals understand financial services better. This fosters confidence and encourages users to explore other financial products, such as savings accounts and microloans.

Digital Solutions Powering Payout Innovations

The role of digital solutions in advancing payout systems cannot be overstated. Technologies like mobile banking, blockchain, and artificial intelligence have revolutionized the way funds are distributed and accessed. For instance:

Mobile Wallets: These are at the forefront of digital payment solutions, enabling individuals without bank accounts to receive and spend money using their mobile devices.

Blockchain Technology: Secure and transparent, blockchain facilitates cross-border payouts with minimal fees, benefiting migrant workers sending money home.

AI and Data Analytics: These tools optimize payout processes by identifying patterns and reducing inefficiencies, ensuring smooth transactions.

Companies like Xettle Technologies are pioneering these digital innovations by providing custom payout solutions tailored to the unique needs of developing economies. Their platforms combine advanced security features with user-friendly interfaces, enabling a seamless experience for both individuals and businesses.

Case Studies: Payout Solutions in Action

Social Benefit Disbursements in India The Indian government’s Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) scheme leverages payout solutions to deposit welfare payments directly into beneficiaries’ accounts. This has reduced leakages and ensured funds reach the intended recipients.

Gig Economy Payments in Africa In Africa, mobile payment systems like M-Pesa facilitate payouts for gig workers, enabling them to access their earnings instantly. This has been instrumental in empowering freelancers and small business owners.

Cross-Border Remittances in Southeast Asia Migrant workers in Southeast Asia rely on digital payout solutions to send money home. These solutions are faster and cheaper than traditional remittance methods, allowing families to access funds quickly.

Challenges and Opportunities

While payout solutions hold immense promise, certain challenges persist, such as:

Limited Digital Infrastructure: Many regions lack the internet connectivity needed to support digital solutions.

Regulatory Barriers: Complex regulations can hinder the deployment of payout systems.

Low Financial Literacy: Many individuals remain unaware of how to use payout solutions effectively.

Addressing these challenges requires collaboration between governments, financial institutions, and technology providers. By investing in infrastructure, streamlining regulations, and promoting financial education, stakeholders can unlock the full potential of payout solutions.

Conclusion

Payout solutions are a cornerstone of financial inclusion in developing economies, offering accessible, affordable, and secure ways to distribute funds. By leveraging digital solutions and collaborating with innovators like Xettle Technologies, organizations can create impactful systems that empower individuals and drive economic growth. As technology continues to advance, the role of payout solutions in fostering an inclusive financial ecosystem will only grow stronger.
