Bonding With Former Lovers; What Is Deepika Up To?

Deepika Padukone clearly loves her single status to the hilt. With former lovers back in her life as 'good friends', Dippy is making sure that she doesn't miss Sidhartha Mallya at all.

The former model is not only bonding a lot with her ex boyfriends but is also making sure to mend broken hearts.

The actress went to Hyderabad recently for the script reading of Rajinikanth starrer 'Kochadaiyaan' and accompanying the leggy lass was model Nihar Pandya.

For the uninitiated, Nihar and Deepika were dating each other during their modeling days. Post her entry into Bollywood, Deepika had dumped Nihar and went on to date cricketer Yuvraj Singh briefly and then was in a relationship with actor Ranbir Kapoor.

We had reported earlier that Ranbir and Deepika are back to being friends. So much so that industry insiders suspect that the two might be back as a couple soon! And now with Nihar Pandya's re-entry into Dippy's life, it is clearly a triangle love story here, no?

They could just be bonding and being good friends. But do good friends accompany each other on work tours? Well, only Deepika can answer that!

India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew at 6.1 in December quarter

India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew at 6.1 per cent for the quarter ending 31 December 2011, signalling a sharp slowdown in economic activity.

The GDP growth is also slower than the 6.9 per cent in the September quarter, and has been declining for the past nine quarters. This is also the lowest in the past 13 quarters.

A Thomson Reuters poll of 26 economists released on Tuesday had put GDP growth at an annual 6.4 percent rate in the quarters, with forecasts ranging from 6.0 to 7.3 per cent with a majority of them lying below the consensus.

Manufacturing growth was hurt the most in the December quarter, clocking 0.4 per cent against 7. 8 per cent in the corresponding period last year. Agriculture also saw a sharp decline at 2.7 per cent, down from 11 per cent in the year-ago period.

Mining fell by almost half, from 6.1 per cent to 3.1 per cent, signally lower supply of raw materials for industry but also fuelled by lower demand as higher interest rates have put off companies from investing in expansion.

The trade and hotels industries fared better at 9.2 per cent, while construction slowed marginally from 8.7 per cent to 7.2 per cent.

Tech News:Chinese relish crack in Great Firewall, log on to Facebook

Some Chinese Internet users have this week been able to access blocked websites such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, relishing the newfound freedom although the reason for the breach in China's Great Firewall of censorship was a mystery. China blocks most foreign social networking sites (SNS) out of fear that unfettered access would lead to instability. Chinese SNS firms have filled the void by offering similar products that censor topics the government may find sensitive.

"I can suddenly access YouTube! No need to breach the firewall!" Weibo user Arvin Xie posted on Tuesday. Weibo is a microblogging platform, similar to Twitter, that allows users to post short messages and follow other users. Internet users including students on university campuses reported that they were able to access YouTube, Facebook and Twitter on their mobile phones and desktops in the afternoon and evening on Monday and Tuesday.

"I used Facebook for the first time yesterday," Zhang Wenjin, 23, a student at Shanghai's prestigious Jiao Tong University told Reuters on Tuesday. "I went on and took a look. I'm sure there were suddenly a lot of people who signed up on Facebook yesterday," Zhang said, adding that she had also signed up for an account.

It is unclear what caused the crack in China's Great Firewall, as the blocking of websites and censoring of search results for politically sensitive terms is known, or how widespread it was.

On Wednesday, access to Facebook, YouTube and Twitter was again blocked. Some users in China pay for a virtual private network (VPN) to bypass the blocking of websites and censoring of searches. Over the weekend, Chinese users also gained access to Google Inc's social networking site, Google+ and flooded U.S. President Barack Obama's page on the site with calls for greater freedom in the world's most populous country.

Google+ is currently blocked through regular desktop access but its mobile application, which let users in China access the site, has become accessible recently. China, with more than 500 million Internet users, is the world's largest and most vibrant Internet community.

Tata asks Supreme Court to review cancellation of its 2G licenses

Tata Teleservices Ltd on Wednesday moved the Supreme Court seeking review of its judgement cancelling its licences for the 2G spectrum in three circles which were allotted during the tenure of former telecom minister A Raja.

The review petition comes nearly a month after the apex court on February 2 had cancelled 122 2G licences granted to nine telecom companies including Tata Teleservices Ltd, based on the first-come-first served policy for 22 circles.

The company earlier contended that it had applied for these licences more than 18 months before the 2008 licensing process began.

The court had directed that the licences for the radio waves have to be sold through auction.

A bench of justices G S Singhvi and A K Ganguly (now retired) had also imposed a heavy cost of Rs. 5 crore on Tata Teleservices Ltd, Etisalat DB Telecom Pvt Ltd (Swan Telecom Ltd) and Unitech Wireless Group.

The court had held that the companies were benefited by a "wholly arbitrary and unconstitutional" action of award of licenses to them and for off-loading their stakes for billions of rupees in the name of fresh infusion of equity or transfer of equity.

Tata Teleservices Ltd was granted licences for three circles in Assam, North East and Jammu and Kashmir.

The apex court had said the allocation of of the 2G spectrum under Raja was "wholly arbitrary, capricious and contrary to public interest apart from being violative of the doctrine of equality" to "favour some companies at the cost of the public exchequer".

Earlier, both Videocon and Idea Cellular had filed clarificatory petitions in the Supreme Court asking whether the 2 February ruling would apply to them.

Google doodle :doodle on leap day and Italian composer Gioachino Rossini's 220th birthday

For a day that comes rarely to the calendar, Google has doodled a rare two-in-one doodle that commemorates not only the leap day but also the 220th birth anniversary of the Italian composer Gioachino Rossini.

Since the leap years and leap days are usually associated with frogs, the leaping ambhibians, the Google doodle on February 29 has a number of frogs, all four of them.

The doodle is inspired by Gioachino Antonio Rossini's famous 1816 comic opera The Barber of Seville (Il barbiere di Siviglia), one of the most performed operas. Of the four frogs in the scene, one is at the piano and the soprano is the only one leaping. The barber frog is Figaro and the frog getting a shave is Count Almaviva (Characters created by French playright Pierre Beaumarchais and The Barber of Seville is one of the three Figaro plays penned by him).

Gioachino Rossini

An 1870 Portrait of Gioachino Rossini by Francesco Hayez

Rossini's other famous operas include William Tell (1829), Semiramide (1823) and Cinderella (1817). Gioachino Rossini was born on February 29, 1792 (died November 13, 1868). The possibility of someone's birthday falling on February 29 is 1 in 1461 (as four years including a leap year have 1461 days in total) that in turn calculates to a mere 0.068 per cent chance.

The Gioachino Rossini leap year Google doodle is the third leap year doodle in Google's history. The previous two were put up on 2004 and 2008. There was no leap day doodle in the year 2000.

By our calculations this is the 1314th Google doodle since the first ever on for the Burning Man Festival back on August 30, 1998.

Camera phone:Nokia announces 41-megapixel 808 PureView

Nokia has just come forth at MWC with a slew of announcements, one of them being the announcement of Nokia 808 PureView camera phone.

Nokia gave few details of the specs, but said that it would run a 1.3 GHz single-core processor along with 512 MB of RAM. The 808 PureView will also sport 16GB of on-board memory that is expandable using a microSD card.

The winning feature of the phone happens to be a 41-megapixel sensor that has been developed after years of research. Nokia says they managed to do so using an interpolation technique that packs 5 pixels into 1.

The availability of the 808 PureView in India is not yet known.

Internet News:Yahoo, Gmail asked to route all mails through servers in India

Internet content providers including Yahoo, Gmail would be asked to
route all emails accessed in India through the country even if the
mail account is registered outside the country.

The move comes in the wake of instances where security agencies could
not have a real-time access to some emails as they were registered
outside the country but were opened in India.

During a recent high-level meeting held in the office of Union Home
Secretary R K Singh, the Department of Information Technology was
asked to take up the matter at the earliest with the content
providers.

During the meeting, director general from CERT-in, the Indian cyber
community, informed that content provider Yahoo automatically locates
all email accounts registered in India to the server in India, minutes
of the meeting said.

However, Yahoo accounts registered outside India and subsequently
accessed from India are routed through servers outside India, it said.

"It was decided to advice Yahoo, Gmail etc that all emails accessed
from India should be routed through servers in India," it said, adding
that the Department of Information Technology would take up the matter
with the content providers.

The need for this was felt after security agencies failed to access
accounts of suspected terrorists of Indian Mujahideen during the
surveillance period as the same had been opened in a European country.

When the content provider was approached, the sleuths were told that
in order to see the mails, which had been accessed from India, a
request to a European nation where the server was based, was required,
official sources said.

World Gk:All about German president Christian Wulff

All you wanted to know about German president Christian Wulff

Christian Wilhelm Walter Wulff was the President of Germany and is a politician of the Christian Democratic Union. He was elected President on 30 June 2010 and entered office on 2 July. A lawyer by profession, he served as Prime Minister of the state of Lower Saxony from 2003 to 2010.

On 17 February 2012, during an address to his nation, Wulff resigned as Federal President of Germany due to pressure following allegations of the president taking personal loans before his term of presidency. Details have not yet been provided to explain the clear appropriation of funds.

Wulff was born in Osnabrück and is Roman Catholic. He was the first Roman Catholic to hold the post of President of Germany in more than 40 years. His father left the family, and he grew up with his mother. As a teenager, he took responsibility for the care of his younger sister, after his mother developed multiple sclerosis. After completing his Abitur at the Ernst Moritz Arndt Gymnasium in Osnabrück, Wulff studied law with a specialisation in economics at the University of Osnabrück. He joined the Christian Democratic Union of Germany in 1975. In 1987 and 1990, he passed the first and second state examinations in law, and has since worked as an attorney.

sport news: Standoff ends, Sahara India back as Team India sponsor

Sahara India was Thursday back as cricket Team India sponsor and the owner of Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Pune Warriors after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) agreed to most of its demands.

Sahara, sponsors for last 11 years, had decided to sever all its ties with the BCCI earlier this month citing denial of "natural justice". The last straw that split the relationship was BCCI's refusal to allow ailing cricketer Yuvraj Singh's price to be added to Pune Warriors' auction purse after the southpaw was ruled out of the tournament with a lung tumour.

After 12 days of intense negotiations, the two parties issued a joint statement here signed by BCCI president N. Srinivasan and Sahara India managing director Subrata Roy.

"Sahara confirms that it will continue sponsorship of the Indian team. Sahara may want to exercise its right to assign the sponsorship as per the agreement," the statement said.

The BCCI agreed to extend the trading window, which was due to close Friday, until Feb 29 to give Pune Warriors India the opportunity to have successful negotiations with other franchisees as it looks to strengthen its squad.

Current News:Narendra Modi to decorate 170 cops with medals

For the first time since 2003, Gujarat police personnel honoured with service medals in an official award-giving ceremony. Chief Minister Narendra Modi presented the medals to over 170 cops and 40 home guard officials of the state on February 15 at Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar.

Highly-placed sources in the state home department said, "These awards have been announced by the President and the Governor as appreciation of police personnel' services to society. It includes officials from the rank of police constable to the additional director-general of police. Every year awards are declared at the time of Independence Day and Republic Day.

Sources in Police Bhavan told DNA that so far no such event has ever taken place where cops have been given the President's medal for their services. They said the awardees had to collect the medals from New Delhi after their announcement. "No awards were ever given in such a programme by anyone for the last decade," the sources said.

Sport news :Kolkata Knight Riders unveil new look, new logo

The Kolkata Knight riders got a makeover of sorts in Mumbai on Monday as their new logo was launched. The new look of the logo was unveiled by the owners of KKR, Shah Rukh, Juhi Chawla and Jay Mehta along with the CEO of KKR Venky Mysore.

The Kolkata-based team also has a new tagline - 'New Dawn New Knights'. Shah Rukh, who was at his wittiest best, said: "They said that the new tagline is New Dawn and New Knights, so I thought they were planning to promote my movie again."

Discussing the changes in the design and logo, team owner Shah Rukh said, "The golden color was because I like gold and the black has been changed because I was told that it was not lucky. And last year since we couldn't make it to the last four I can't even argue with it."

However, taking forward the discussion Shah Rukh said Juhi wanted the clothes to be in pink. "Juhi's suggestion was to make our clothes into pink and that suggestion may follow if you don't win the finals this year. And you can imagine Yusuf Pathan in pink dress," the 46-year-old said.

SRK also had a trick or two up his sleeve which got the better of co-owner Juhi Chawla.

"They told me that the conference was going to start at 5 and I was like there's no way that SRK is going to be on time. So that's why I came late and then I heard that he was here at 4:30," Juhi said. To this SRK replied: "It's a new dawn, it's a new knight, it's a new Khan."

News About Apple :Apple asks outside group to audit working conditions at its factories

Responding to a growing outcry over conditions at its overseas factories, Apple said Monday that an outside organization had begun to audit working conditions at the plants where the bulk of iPhones, iPads and other Apple products are built, and that the group would make its finding public.

For years, Apple has resisted calls for independent scrutiny of the suppliers that make its electronics. But for the first time it has begun publicly divulging information that it once considered secret, after criticism that included coordinated protests last week at Apple stores around the world and investigative news reports about punishing conditions inside some factories.

Last month, Apple released the names of 156 of its suppliers. Two weeks later, Apple's chief executive sent an e-mail to the company's 65,000 employees defending Apple's manufacturing record while also pledging to go "deeper into the supply chain." And now, the company has asked an outside group - a nonprofit financed partly by participating companies like Apple - to publicly identify specific factories where abuses are discovered.

What are you really selling or buying in the currency market?

The short answer is "nothing". The retail FOREX market is purely a
speculative market. No physical exchange of currencies ever takes
place. All trades exist simply as computer entries and are netted out
depending on market price. For dollar-denominated accounts, all
profits or losses are calculated in dollars and recorded as such on
the trader's account.

The prime reason behind existence of FOREX market is to facilitate the
exchange of one currency into another for multinational corporations
that trade currencies continually (for example, for payroll, payment
for costs of goods and services from foreign vendors, and merger and
acquisition activity). However, these days corporate comprise only
about 20% of the market volume. Fully 80% of trades in the currency
market are speculative in nature, put on by large financial
institutions, multibillion dollar hedge funds and even individuals who
want to express their opinions on the economic and geopolitical events
of the day.

Because currencies always trade in pairs, when a trader makes a trade
he or she is always long (buy) one currency and short (sell) the
other. For example, if a trader sells one standard lot (equivalent to
100,000 units) of EUR/USD, she would, in essence, have exchanged euros
for dollars and would now be "short" euros and "long" dollars. To
better understand this dynamic, let's use a concrete example. If you
went into an electronics store and purchased a computer for $1,000,
what would you be doing? You would be exchanging your dollars for a
computer. You would basically be "short" $1,000 and "long" one
computer. The store would be "long" $1,000 but now "short" one
computer in its inventory. The exact same principle applies to the FX
market, except that no physical exchange takes place. While all
transactions are simply computer entries, the consequences are no less
real.

Sport News :Teenage girl from Afghanistan to box at Olympics

Just by getting into the boxing ring at the London Olympics, Sadaf Rahimi will be throwing a few punches in the fight for equal rights for Afghan women.

There are female Afghan success stories, yet most women in Afghanistan remain second-class citizens, cloaked from head-to-toe in blue burqas, abused or hidden in their homes.

Rahimi, a determined 17-year-old student, wants to become the new face of Afghan women, gaining honor and dignity for herself and other women in her war-torn country and improving their image worldwide.

She will get her chance in London, where women's boxing makes its Olympic debut.

"When we participate in the outside competitions, there is pressure on us," Rahimi said while training in a makeshift gym in the Afghan capital. "But I will try to show that an Afghan girl can enter the ring and achieve a position for Afghanistan."

In line with conservative norms for women in Afghanistan, Rahimi is expecting to wear black tights under her boxing gear at the Olympics to cover her knees. She trains for hours three days a week, punching heavy bags and sparring with her teammates and trainers.

Current News :10 facts about Apple's iPad battle in China

Apple has been caught in a series of suits and countersuits over who owns the 'iPad' trademark in China. We give you a rundown of all the essential developments in this story.

1. A Chinese court has rejected Apple's appeal in a case regarding who owns the 'iPad' trademark in China, paving the way for a 10 billion Yuan (USD 1.6 billion) suit against the technology giant.

2. The battle began in October 2011 when Proview, a monitor manufacturer based in Shenzhen, China, sued Apple over violation of the 'iPad' trademark. Proview Shenzhen claims to own the 'iPad' trademark in China since 2001.

3. Apple responded with a suit of its own in December 2011 to assert its right of the 'iPad' trademark in the Higher People's Court of Guangdong Province. The suit was promptly rejected and Apple given 30 days to appeal against the verdict.

4. Apple filed the expected appeal last month. The rejection of this appeal on 6th February, 2011 has paved the way for proceedings in Proview's original 10 billion Yuan case to resume.

5. Proview Taiwan had sold the 'iPad' trademark to UK-based IP Application Development in 2006 for USD 55,000.

6. In January 2010, just before the original iPad was officially announced, IP Application Development started filing for the 'iPad' trademark in US and other countries worldwide.

7. Later that year, IP Application Development transferred the worldwide rights to the 'iPad' trademark to Apple.

8. In their lawsuit, Proview Shenzhen insists its Taiwan affiliate was not authorized to perform the sale and, thus, it still retains ownership of the 'iPad' trademark in China.

9. The impact of the lawsuit beyond the damages isn't clear yet. Strictly speaking, Apple might be forced to sell its tablet under a name other than iPad. Whether Proview is looking to do that or just looking for a compensation from Apple as it says, isn't clear yet.

10. China has become a key market for Apple recently, with the iPhone 4S being a smash hit since it was launched on 13th January 2012. The demand was so overwhelming that Apple was forced to halt the in-store sale of the iPhone 4S in Beijing and Shanghai, citing safety concerns for its staff as well as customers, and switch to online sales only.

JObs In India on event management

In the recent past if there is any industry that is ranked amongst the fastest growing, it is that of event management. Until the mid-90s there were only large-scale players, with international tie-ups. There were few companies that originated in India and have grown by leaps and bounds and employ staff strength of fifty to hundred professionals in the various departments. Not to mention the number of consultants and contractors, per project taken up. And all this has increased the number of event management jobs in the country

Jobs in event management require certain skills. These are now being taught by institutes that offer courses in the field. They provide theoretical information and conduct exams; while some of the larger ones tie up with companies that provide internship for students in order to put to practical use all that they are learning in the classroom.
