This Week I Learned - Week #10 2020
This Week I Learned -
* Microsoft Cloud Workshop (MCW) has useful presentation decks and hands-on lab guides.
* Mainframe to AWS Migration related tools like Model9, Blu Age, Attunity are available through AWS Marketplace and when they are used, there can be a single bill through AWS.
* An unexpected fallout of the Reserve Bank of India’s moratorium on Yes Bank was a disruption of the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) offered by fintech firms, which accounts for the bulk of digital transactions in the country. UPI transactions were down by about 40% on Friday, largely because PhonePe — which sees 20 million transactions a day — could not operate as it is plugged into Yes Bank to provide UPI-based account-to-account transfer services. Yes Bank was one of the few banks with an online platform for developers and was the most aggressive among banks to build relationship with fintechs. Non-banking payments firms need a banking partner to access UPI. For PhonePe, it chose only Yes Bank, which issued all its UPI handles to make or receive payments. Peer-to-peer payments, online merchant payments (Flipkart, Myntra, MakeMyTrip, Swiggy, redBus) and in-store QR code-based payments were some of the services that were hit. PhonePe parent Flipkart and MakeMyTrip group platforms have partnerships with Yes Bank for UPI payments, which were affected. Paytm owns a bank, Google Pay, another third-party UPI app, works with four banks to issue UPI handles.
* Yes Bank consumer IDs and merchant payments of both PhonePe and BharatPe on the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) are migrated to ICICI Bank. ICICI Bank now processes almost 60% of UPI transactions.
* Globally there are 6 international languages spoken by (3.5 billion speakers) of the population and in India there are 22 languages spoken with over 720 dialects, which demonstrates the linguistic diversity in the country.
* Greece has 227 islands
* The rumbling, grumbling, or tinkling sounds emanating from the stomach are likely made by the bubbling and gurgling of air pockets and fluid moving through your intestine. These noises, common among many people, typically occur when you're hungry because the body is readying itself to receive food by moving air and fluids in the stomach and intestine out of the way (down towards the rectum). These sounds might also occur during the process of digestion, as the contents of the meal are processed and moved through the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. The fancy, 50-cent name for this phenomenon is "borborygmi," a great word that sounds similar to the intestinal noise itself. Some people's intestine seems to be particularly active in the morning, kicking off a cacophony of borborygmi - Go Ask Alice!
