Whatsapp introduces new 'double blue tick' feature

Mobile messaging service WhatsApp has reportedly come up with a new " double blue tick" feature that allows users to know when their texts have been delivered and read.

The blue tick appears as soon as the person at the receiving end has read the message.

According to Daily Express, one grey tick means a message has been successfully sent, two grey ticks show it has been delivered and a blue tick means the message has been read.

The app now also shows the exact time a text was sent. Users need to press and hold down on a particular post to know the accurate time the message was sent to them.

The changes will affect all versions of the app used on the Apple iPhone's iOS, the Android operating system, as well as Windows phones, Nokias and Blackberrys, the report said.

Facebook launches fundraising campaign to fight Ebola

Washington : Facebook has launched a fundraising campaign to help groups fighting Ebola.

The social networking site's founder Mark Zuckerberg has also announced a personal 25 million dollars donation to help battle the deadly disease, CNN reported.

Zuckerberg's donation went to the Centers for Disease Control Foundation. But Facebook is seeking donations for three other groups: the International Medical Corps, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and Save the Children and the site's 1.3 billion users will see a message at the top of their news feed with an option to donate to those groups.

The company will also team with UNICEF to provide information through Facebook to people in targeted regions about Ebola symptoms and treatment, in addition to teaming up with NetHope to provide communications services to medical and aid workers in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

The company's official statement said that if the Ebola epidemic isn't addressed, it could become a long-term global health crisis and the site together with their partners hope to offer people the tools they need to fight the disease.

WTO talks set for revival as India nears deal with US, EU

NEW DELHI: After being in deep freeze for over three months, a global trade deal is finally in sight with the US and the European Union showing signs of accepting India's demand for providing flexibility to developing countries in fixing minimum support price for farm products. In return, India will sign the stalled international treaty on easier customs rules once an agreement on the contentious food security issue is reached at the World Trade Organization (WTO).

"India, US and EU are close to some understanding and based on this understanding they will work for a final solution at the WTO," said a source, who did not wish to be identified. Senior commerce department officials are engaged in consultations in Geneva. There are indications that the developed countries will agree not to challenge any breach in food subsidy caps till the calculation formula is reworked.

Global trade talks have been deadlocked after India refused to agree to a trade facilitation agreement to usher in easier rules for goods to flow through ports and airports without its concerns on food security being addressed. Based on current rules, several developing countries are close to breaching the cap on 10% value of production and face the threat of punitive action at WTO. India has argued that the calculation is flawed as it is based on outdated prices and has demanded that formula be reworked.

At the Bali ministerial meeting last December, WTO members had agreed to address India's concerns over a four year period, during which no disputes would be raised at the multilateral body even if the subsidy cap was breached. At the Indonesian island the ministers had also agreed to sign the agreement on customs rules by July 31. The developed world had argued that the rules would provide a $1 trillion boost to a sluggish global economy and pave the way for reviving the 13-year-old Doha dialogue.

Despite being blamed for "blocking" a global trade deal, India has stuck to its stand. But in recent weeks, officials have indicated that India is willing to settle for a clause that extends the four year "peace clause" to perpetuity — something that is learnt to have been discussed during a meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Barack Obama.

The reports of a settlement at WTO come two days after Modi met ministers and top commerce department officials on Monday. On Monday, sources had then described it as a "review meeting" and had suggested that no firm offers were on the table.

Sources said finance minister Arun Jaitely had taken up the issue and argued India's stand with US secretary of state John Kerry, when he had visited New Delhi in late July. After hearing the government's argument, Kerry had no answers and described it as "reasonable". There was, however, immense pressure on the Obama administration from domestic lobbies in the US. This was evident when a US official, who was part of Kerry's delegation, tried to resile from his position.

Washington had indicated its "appreciation" for New Delhi's posture during last month's meeting between a top USTR official and commerce & industry minister Nirmala Sitharaman. Similarly, UK chancellor George Osborne had shown support for India's stand, the source said.

PM Narendra Modi to Visit Varanasi Today, Likely to Adopt a Village

VARANASI:  Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Friday visit his Lok Sabha constituency of Varanasi for the first time since he took charge in May. He is expected to adopt a village under the MP Model Village Scheme.

Jayapur village, 24 kilometres away from the ancient temple town of Varanasi, hopes to be picked and is prepping to receive Mr Modi, who is scheduled to make a public address there.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav of the Samajwadi Party will be in Varanasi to welcome the Prime Minister. 

Tight security arrangements have been made. PM Modi will be in his constituency for a little over 24 hours.Among the oldest cities in the world, Varanasi has been constantly in the spotlight ever since PM Modi chose to retain this Uttar Pradesh constituency and gave up the other seat he had won in the national elections - Vadodara in his home state of Gujarat. 

Residents in the town hope its new VIP profile will ensure that its crumbling infrastructure and lack of basic amenities will be addressed.

Soon after the Bharatiya Janata Party won the Lok Sabha elections in May, Mr Modi had made a thanksgiving visit to the city; he had offered prayers at the famous Kashi Vishwanath temple and had taken part in the Ganga Aarti.

Tomorrow, he is also expected to inaugurate several projects including one to uplift the lot of weavers in Varanasi.

5 Talented Celebrities Who Ruined Their Careers

1. Whitney Houston

Beautiful actress and talented singer Whitney Houston married nearly retired R&B star Bobby Brown in 1992, at the height of her career. With her drug dependency problems, it may not have been a good move being together with someone with substance abuse issues of his own. Through their tumultuous marriage, Whitney Houston’s drug abuse only became worse. Brown and Huston divorced in 2007, Huston was about to record a new album and her life seemed to be going well. Two years later she appeared on Oprah Winfrey’s show and gave an interview that was recognized as one of the most expected and outspoken. Huston admitted that her drug addiction became all-absorbing after the thundering success of The Bodyguard in 1992.

Her world tour of 2010, entitled the Nothing but Love World Tour, didn’t salvage her career, though. Her fans were disappointed at the performance and the quality of her voice and she received numerous negative responses from critics. While she did go through rehab, she never overcame her habit entirely. In 2012, under the simultaneous influence of cocaine, marijuana and other drugs, she drowned in her bathtub. Anyway, Whitney Huston is one of the world’s best-selling singers with more than 200 million records sold over the years.

2. Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was the biggest name in popular music worldwide for years. For whatever reason, though, the star adopted a stranger and stranger lifestyle over time. With multiple cosmetic surgeries, a love of spending time with children, prescription drug abuse, and an out-of-control shopping habit, the star’s life gradually came apart. He was married two times and both his marriages were unhappy and short-lived.

In 2003 his reputation and name was tarnished, after the releasing of a documentary film Living with Michael Jackson. The film revealed the most scandalous details of his life including sleeping arrangements with a young boy. After the criminal investigation Jackson was arrested. During numerous court cases Jackson lost his fortune and was unable to cover even the most basic charges. The star burned through most of his money and his goodwill with his fans by the time he passed away in 2009.


3. Britney Spears

Britney Spears is one of those rare talented people who are able to start out as a child star and then make the transformation to stardom as an adult. Britney started her career at the age of 11, when she was picked for The New Mickey Mouse Club with other would be stars such as Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera. After the show she focused on her solo career and released the first single in 1998. After becoming a worldwide sensation in pop music, she somehow let her life unwind.

In 2004 her reputation and name was ruined due to an odd 2-day marriage with Jason Alexander and the following scandalous love affair with backup dancer. Later that year she married him and gave birth to their first son. But their marriage didn’t last long and after the birth of their second son, they began divorce proceedings. Britney was acknowledged to be mentally ill and her ex-husband received full custody over their children. Over several instances, she was photographed by paparazzi drunk in public. Britney didn’t let her career completely crumble, though. She caught herself in time. Today, she has made an excellent comeback.

Sachin Tendulkar Book Release: Top 10 Excerpts From 'Playing It My Way'

Sachin Tendulkar officially released his autobiography 'Playing It My Way' in Mumbai on Wednesday. The book grabbed headlines even before the launch with Tendulkar attacking former India coach Greg Chappell, calling him a "ringmaster."

Tendulkar has made some startling revelations in the book and has used uncharacteristically strong words. (Tendulkar's Career Would Have Been Incomplete Without World Cup: Akram)

Here are the top 10 quotes from Playing It My Way that are sure to stay in public memory for a long time:

1)"No one from the BCCI managed to call me or inform me of my removal as captain before someone from the media called to say I was no longer captain. I felt extremely humiliated to hear this."

2.)"I told myself that the BCCI mandarins might be able to take the captaincy away from me, but no one could do the same as far as my own cricket was concerned."

3)"I want to state very clearly that the (Monkey Gate) incident arose because Andrew Symonds had been continually trying to provoke Bhajji (Harbhajan Singh) and it was inevitable that the two would have an altercation at some point."

4)"I still believe that the (Monkey Gate) matter would not have been blown so out of proportion if (Ricky) Ponting had discussed it with the captain Anil Kumble, Harbhajan and the Indian team management before reporting the incident to Mike Procter, the match referee."

5)"Kapil Dev's method (as India coach) of involvement and his thought process was limited to leaving the running of the team to the captain, and hence he did not involve himself in strategic discussions that would help us on the field."

6)"Just months before the World Cup, (then India coach) Greg Chappell had come to see me at home and, to my dismay, suggested that I should take over the captaincy from Rahul Dravid."

7)"I hated losing and as captain of the team I felt responsible for the string of miserable performances. More worryingly, I did not know how I could turn it around, as I was already trying my absolute best."

8)"It (losing) was hurting me badly and it took me a long time to come to terms with these failures. I even contemplated moving away from the sport completely, as it seemed nothing was going my way."

9)"Mind you, there is little doubt in my mind that we would have drawn (Sydney Test of 2008) had it not been for what seemed to us to be mistakes by the umpires and some rather unsportsmanlike conduct by a few of the Australian players."

10)The best of the best: Ian Chappell in 2007, had written in a column that Tendulkar should look at the mirror and ask himself if he was good enough to continue playing cricket.� Tendulkar responds: "I showed him the size of the mirror in 2008 when we toured Australia (Sachin was man of the series in the VB Series) He should have realised that the man he is asking to stand infront of the mirrior has played more cricket than him"

Bengaluru: India's Bangalore city changes name

Bengaluru is the city's name in local Kannada language and local politicians and historians say Bangalore is an anglicism that should be dropped.

The names of 11 other cities in Karnataka state, of which Bangalore is the capital, will also be changed.

Home to hundreds of IT firms, the city is known as India's Silicon Valley.

Over the last few years, the name Bengaluru has grown in popularity as it has been extensively used to describe the city, but it was formally approved by India's federal government earlier this month.

The official name change has led to a debate with some saying the move may have an impact on the city's global reputation, BBC Hindi's Imran Qureshi says.

Those in favour of Bengaluru say people will soon get used to it, he adds.

India bans first-class air travel for officials

The moves are aimed at achieving a fiscal deficit target of 4.1% of the gross domestic product for this year.

India's economy has slowed in recent years, growing by 4.7% in 2013-14.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BJP swept to power in the recent election on the promise of reviving the economy.

The previous Congress-led government had initiated similar measures in 2012 and 2013 to trim the deficit.

The latest austerity measures "are intended at promoting fiscal discipline, without restricting the operational efficiency of the government", a finance ministry statement quoted by the Press Trust of India news agency said.

"In the context of the current fiscal situation, there is a need to continue to rationalise expenditure and optimise available resources," it added.

New jobs have been frozen and purchases of cars have been mostly banned, reports said. Officials have been asked to use video conferencing for meetings wherever possible.

"While officers are entitled to various classes of air travel depending on seniority, utmost economy would need to be observed while exercising the choice keeping the limitations of budget in mind. However, there would be no bookings in the first class," the finance ministry said.

The government aims to further cut fiscal deficit to 3.6% in 2015-16 and 3% in 2016-17.

Mr Modi won a landslide in the May general election with a pledge to boost growth and create jobs for one million people who enter India's workforce every month.
