New feature from WhatsApp lets know about it..

WhatsApp has confirmed that a group video calling feature will be rolling out later this year, and it looks like beta-testing for same appears to have gone live for some users.

WhatsApp iOS build 2.18.52 and Android beta version 2.18.145+ seem to have the group calls feature live, but this is limited to a select few users and not everyone will see it live yet.

This appears to be a limited roll out and only a select few will see the feature, even if they are on the correct build of WhatsApp, be it on iOS or Android.

So how can a user check if WhatsApp Group video calling is live for them?

-} Just do a normal call and check if a new button appears which has the option for “Add participant”. If it does, users will be able to add others to the video call.

We could not see the group video calling feature live on either iOS or the Android beta version on our phones.

Given this appears to be a limited rollout, it will take some time to appear for most users.

WhatsApp group call feature will allow four participants in the call, this including the person who starts the call..

Want to create a new Windows 10 Phone with Snapdragon 835PCc..

Snapdragon 835-powered PCs are finally a reality. At the opening day of Qualcomm's second annual Snapdragon summit, Microsoft's Terry Myerson has officially announced 'The Always Connected PC' powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 mobile platform.

OEMs like HP, Asus and Lenovo have big plans for Snapdragon 835-based Windows 10 PCs. At the Snapdragon Summit, Asus CEO Jerry Shen showcased the first Asus PC running a octa-core Snapdragon 835 processor along with Windows 10 S operating system called the NovaGo. Asus NovaGO is also the world's first Gigabit LTE-laptop offering up to 1 Gbps speeds based on the Snapdragon X 16 LTE modem.

The Snapdragon 835- powered windows PC is smaller and faster and offers an incredible 30 days standby battery life. The device supports Windows Ink based stylus along with Cortana and Windows Hello.

The device will be available with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage for $599 while the 8GB RAM and 256 GB storage variant will cost $799.

HP has also announced a similar competitor in the form of HP Envy x2 which will be available in 2018. Qualcomm has confirmed that Lenovo will also showcase a similar Snapdragon 835-based Windows 10 PC later at CES 2018 on January 9.

OEMs also explained that by using Snapdragon 835, they were able to reduce the size and weight of the Windows 10 2-in-1s, thus making it more 'mobile'. Also, with the partnership with AMD, OEMs can now always connect PCs with AMD Ryzen mobile processors.

As far as performance is concerned, the new Snapdragon 835 devices are powered by Intel alternatives and Microsoft has announced an optimized Office 365 app.

Other apps on the Windows Store are not optimized. Qualcomm says that these run as expects and users can also run .exe files.

New Galaxy phone is arrived, sumsung Galaxy S9 digine & benchamaark leeked, aao phon par sabase nazadeekee najar daale.

Samsung is readying three different models of the Galaxy S9 this time-the Galaxy S9, the Galaxy S9+ and the Galaxy S9 Mini. All three models will come with Samsung dual edge ,curved "Infinity display". This could make Samsung's foothold stronger in the mid-range segment.

The leak also claims the Galaxy S9 will come with dual cameras with a coating broad-band anti-reflection on the lenses. DSLR lenses use coating to limit ghosting and reflection. The company might also reposition the fingerprint scanner on the S9 series.

AndroidHeadlines also reveals that the phone will use heat pipes for dissipating heat, a setup that has been used on Galaxy S-series and Note series since the 2016.

The phone model SM-G960F, believed to be the global version of the upcoming Galaxy S9.The Geekbench listing also reveals that the phone will be powered by Samsung next generation chipset, the Exynos 9 series 9810 with 4GB RAM.

Samsung recently announced Exynos 9810 chipset that is built on 2nd generation 10nm process. It also packs 3rd-generation custom CPU cores and an upgraded GPU, possibly Mali G72. It also supports Gigabit speeds on LTE Networks.

Samsung may also launch variants of Galaxy S9 with Snapdragon 845. A recent report confirmed that Qualcomm will sell the entire first batch of Snapdragon 845 to Samsung for its Galaxy S9 and S9+ smartphones.

The phone will run Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box. The Pixels and only a couple of other smartphone run the Android 8.0 Oreo right now as many new phones were launched with the Android 7 Nougat with a promise of an upgrade,like other high range smart phones.

Samsung announced the Galaxy S9 and S9+ at the upcoming MWC like last year which is to start on February 26 and continue until March 1 2018 in Barcelona. Samsung is reportedly planning to schedule the Galaxy S9 and S9+ launch event for February 25.

Canada ne gathbandhanv se baahar karane ke lie koyle ko lonch kiya.

Canada and Britain are launching a new alliance aimed at encouraging countries to phase out the use of coal as part of efforts to curb climate change. Global Alliance to Power Past Coal is being unveiled on November 16 at an international climate meeting in Bonn.

Coal fuelled power stations are considered one of the biggest sources of carbon dioxide that’s heating up the Earth’s atmosphere, countries such as Indonesia, Vietnam and the United States are planning to expand its use in the coming years. Even Germany and Poland, hosts of climate talks in 2017 and 2018, are holding onto coal for the foreseable future.

new anti-coal alliance is expected to include France, Finland, Mexico, New Zealand,itali and several U.S. states committed to the Paris climate accord.

Norway’s biggest private pension provider, says it divested from companies including German energy company RWE, Poland’s PGE and Eskom Holdings of South Africa.

A Norwegian investment fund that manages assets worth over $80 billion is pulling investments from 10 companies over their involvement in the coal sector.

chief executive, Jan Erik Saugested, said on November 16 the decision is meant as a warning to utility companies to,

“clean up” their energy sources “or lose customers and investors”.

The much larger Norwegian Sovereign Wealth fund, which holds $1 trillion generated from the country’s sale of oil, will follow its divestment decision.

Nokia 2 India Launch Expected Today at HMD Global Event

Nokia brand licensee HMD Global last week sent invites for a launch event on Tuesday, where it would "unveil the next milestone for Nokia phones." While the already launched Nokia 7.

which has yet to make its way to India, is the obvious bet for Tuesday's launch, rumours have been pointing at a new smartphone. The Nokia 2 has been anticipated for a while, and was recently spotted on the Bluetooth SIG certification site as well a leaked AnTuTu benchmark, revealing some of its specifications.

The HMD Global launch event kicks off at 12pm IST, so stay tuned for updates from the event. The company will be live streaming the event on its Facebook page.

The Nokia 2 listing reveals that the smartphone has a HD (720x1280 pixels) resolution display that would come in 5-inch size.

Further, it reveals the presence of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 212 SoC on the new Nokia handset. The SoC is the successor to the Snapdragon 210 and is designed as an entry-level offering with four cores of ARM Cortex-A7 CPU at a maximum clock speed of 1.3GHz. Moreover, all this is an upgrade to what was reported regarding the Nokia 2 until now.

Apart from the quad-core processor, the Snapdragon 212 SoC has Adreno 304 GPU and is accompanied by 1GB of RAM on the Nokia 2. The smartphone also appears to have 8GB of inbuilt storage and run on Android 7.1.1 Nougat. Besides, the upcoming Nokia smartphone is listed with 5-megapixel and 8-megapixel camera sensors that are likely to be available on its front and back, respectively.

The Nokia 7 on the other hand, comes with flagship-like features at roughly half the price of Nokia 8. Among the highlights of the handset are the 7000 series aluminium body and Corning Gorilla Glass on the back panel. In fact, the Nokia 7 rear panel uses 3D glass thermoforming technology for casting and features with rounded corners.

The Nokia 7 also sports an f/1.8 aperture lens and comes with 'bothie' camera mode. It also comes with heavily marketed feature, the "Dual-Sight mode" which uses both front and rear cameras simultaneously. The handset also supports live video streaming to Facebook and YouTube from the built-in camera.

The new Nokia 7 was launched in China earlier in October. It comes in two variants: 4GB RAM priced at CNY 2,499 (roughly Rs. 25,000) and 6GB RAM at CNY 2,699 (roughly Rs. 26,500). There's no word on the availability of the Nokia 7 outside China as of now.

This is India's first school to run completely on solar energy

The school is a culturally-rich mosaic representing students globally. Their curriculum focuses on preparing students for an ever changing global community.

HOW DOES THE SCHOOL RUNS ON SOLAR POWER?

The school requires 4,25,000 kW energy in a year. They are producing five lakh kilowatts per year. They are geared to produce 300 kilo watts per hour at peak capacity - peak is 10am to 4pm. The power they produce is more than enough for the school's needs.

Moreover, there is a meter alongside the demo units that measures how much electricity is produced by all panels on campus for students to see the conversion first hand.

NITIAL CHALLENGES WHILE INTRODUCING THIS CONCEPT:

The solar panels cost a considerable 3 crores to install, but there were incentives given by the Karnataka state government for the installation. CIS has in turn provided surplus energy to the government of Karnataka - the Bescom grid for the public's utilisation.

ADMISSION PROCEDURE:

For all grades they require the past two years' report cards that highlight academic and personal growth. Their admission test's goals are to evaluate grade placement and the right fit for their time at CIS.

Tata Motors bags Rs 1,120 crore order for 10,000 e-cars from EESL

NEW DELHI: State-run Energy Efficiency Services Ltd (EESL) today said it will procure 10,000 electric cars from Tata Motors, an order valued at around Rs 1,120 crore.

Tata Motors will supply the electric vehicles (EVs) in two phases with 500 e-cars in the first phase in November 2017 and the remaining 9,500 electric vehicles (EVs) in the second phase, EESL said in a statement.

EESL said Tata Motors quoted the lowest price of Rs 10.16 lakh, exclusive of GST in the competitive bidding.

"The vehicle will be provided for Rs 11.2 lakh, which will be inclusive of GST and comprehensive 5 year warranty which is 25 per cent below the current retail price of a similar e-car with 3 year warranty," it added.

"All these 10,000 electric cars will be will be procured within nine months period from the date of issue of letter of intent," EESL Managing Director Saurabh Kumar told PTI.

Tata Motors was selected through an international competitive bidding aimed at increased participation, it said.

Commenting on the development, Tata Motors CEO and MD Guenter Butschek said: "EESL tender provided us the opportunity to participate in boosting e-mobility in the country, at the same time accelerate our efforts to offer full range of electric vehicles to the Indian consumers."

The company has been collaboratively working to develop electric powertrain technology for its selected products, he added.

While it did not specify which electric car it will supply, industry sources said the company will supply electric version of its compact sedan Tigor.
Other companies, Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) and Nissan had also participated in the tender and bids for Tata Motors and M&M were opened, EESL said.

When asked why Nissan's bid was not opened, Kumar said: "It did not qualify for the technical bid or request for qualification (RFQ).

EESL claimed that its tender was for the world's largest single electric vehicle procurement.

The company, which comes under the Ministry of Power, further said along with procurement of 10,000 EVs through bidding, it would also identify a service provider agency.

"This agency, also appointed through competitive bidding, will carry out end-to-end fleet management of the procured vehicles for the concerned government customer," the statement added.

Apart from continuing to aggregate demand, EESL will also be responsible such as coordination between appointed agencies, monitoring and supervision, reporting, complaint redressal and payments, it said.

Citing a Niti Aayog report, EESL said making India's passenger mobility shared, electric, and connected can cut the country's energy demand by 64 per cent and carbon emissions by 37 per cent in 2030.

"This would result in a reduction of 156 Mtoe (million tonne oil equivalent) in diesel and petrol consumption for that year & at USD 52/bbl of crude, this would imply a net savings of roughly Rs 3.9 lakh crore in 2030," the company said.

Nasa delays launch of James Webb Space Telescope to 2019

Washington: Nasa has pushed the planned launch of its $8.8 billion James Webb Space Telescope from October 2018 to the spring of 2019, citing spacecraft-integration issues.

The successor to the famed Hubble Space Telescope, Webb will now launch between March and June 2019 from French Guiana, following a schedule assessment of the remaining integration and test activities, Nasa said.

The All the rigorous tests of the telescope and the spacecraft to date show the mission is meeting its required performance levels, it said. Existing programme budget accommodates the change in launch date, and the change will not affect planned science observations.

“Webb’s spacecraft and Sun-shield are larger and more complex than most spacecraft,” said Eric Smith, programme director for the James Webb Space Telescope at Nasa. “The combination of some integration activities taking longer than initially planned, such as the installation of more than 100 Sun-shield membrane release devices, has meant the integration and testing process is just taking longer,” said Smith.

“Considering the investment Nasa has made, and the good performance to date, we want to proceed very systematically through these tests to be ready for a Spring 2019 launch,” he said. Webb is an international project led by Nasa with its partners ESA and the Canadian Space Agency. telescope will be the world’s most powerful space telescope ever built, serving thousands of astronomers worldwide, according to the US space agency.

The 6.5 metre diameter infrared-optimised telescope is designed to study an extremely wide range of astrophysical phenomena, including the first stars and galaxies that formed, the atmospheres of nearby planets outside our solar system, and objects within our own solar system.

“The change in launch timing is not indicative of hardware or technical performance concerns,” said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for Nasa’s science mission directorate. “Rather, the integration of the various spacecraft elements is taking longer than expected,” said Zurbuchen.

As part of an international agreement with the European Space Agency (ESA) to provide a desired launch window one year prior to launch, Nasa recently performed a routine schedule assessment to ensure launch preparedness and determined a launch schedule change was necessary.

The spacecraft itself, comprised of the spacecraft bus and Sun-shield, has experienced delays during its integration and testing. The additional environmental testing time of the fully assembled observatory — the telescope and the spacecraft — will ensure that Webb will be fully tested before launching into space, NASA said.

All the rigorous tests of the telescope and the spacecraft to date show the mission is meeting its required performance levels, it said. Existing programme budget accommodates the change in launch date, and the change will not affect planned science observations.
