Vivo S1 India launch on August 7: 6 reasons this phone can give tough competition to Redmi, RealmeVivo is teasing the upcoming Vivo S1 for quite some weeks now. The company has revealed almost everything about the smartphone via official teasers and commercial advertisements. The only mystery right now is the price of the Vivo S1 which we expect it to be under Rs 20,000.advertisement Next Sneha Saha New DelhiJuly 31, 2019UPDATED: August 1, 2019 13:15 IST HIGHLIGHTSVivo S1 has all the potential to become one of the best phones under Rs 20,000 in India.Vivo S1 looks stunning, especially the Skyline Blue colour option.Vivo S1 packs a massive 4500mAh battery inside that Vivo claims can last more than one full day.Earlier this month Vivo launched its first-ever Z-series smartphone aka the Z1 Pro in India. With the Z1 Pro Vivo aims to mushroom its online business in the country and take on the likes of smartphone brands like Realme and Redmi. As we at India Today Tech said in the full review, the Vivo Z1 Pro is a killer device for the price it comes for. The India price of the Vivo Z1 Pro starts at Rs 14,990. After the Z-series, Vivo is now ready to introduce its S-series in India on August 7 and the first smartphone under this new series is the Vivo S1.Vivo is teasing the upcoming Vivo S1 for quite some weeks now. The company has revealed almost everything about the smartphone via official teasers and commercial advertisements. The only mystery right now is the price of the Vivo S1 which we expect it to be under Rs 20,000. The official India price of the Vivo S1 will be announced on August 7.The Vivo S1 has all the potential to become one of the best phones under Rs 20,000 in India. There are already some great phones available under in the price point — like the Redmi Note 7 Pro, the Realme 3 Pro, the Vivo Z1 Pro, the Realme X, and the Samsung Galaxy A50 – and Vivo S1 can definitely join the bandwagon as it offers great value. The Vivo S1 brings stylish design, offers massive battery, sports triple rear AI cameras, runs Android 9 Pie with latest FunTouch OS on top, and so many other things.advertisementThe question now is can Vivo S1 make it to the best under Rs 20,000 phones list in India or not? I believe it has all the potential to become one of the best phones under the Rs 20,000 price tag in the country and here are five reasons why I feel so. –AI triple rear cameras: There are not many phones with three rear cameras available under Rs 20,000 price in India. The Vivo S1 is making that possible. The upcoming Vivo S1 includes three cameras on the back panel. The phone houses a 16-megapixel primary sensor with an f/1.78 lens, a secondary 8-megapixel sensor with an f/2.2 wide-angle lens, and a 2-megapixel sensor with an f/2.4 lens. –Fresh design: Check out the pictures of the Vivo S1 here. The Vivo S1 looks stunning, especially the Skyline Blue colour option. It also comes in dark blue shade. The gradient finish of the phone adds to the overall design of the smartphone. The Vivo S1 feels incredibly light in the hands despite sporting a 4500mAh battery inside. On the front the smartphone packs Halo FullView display – waterdrop notch – that increases the screen-to-body-ratio of the smartphone that in turn offers great multimedia experience to the users.–32MP camera: Similar to all the latest Vivo phones the upcoming Vivo S1 packs 32-megapixel image sensor on the front for clicking selfies. Most Vivo phones are great at capturing selfies and we believe this one will be no exception. We will have more to say about the camera performance of the Vivo S1 in the full review of the phone.–4500mAh battery with 18W fast charging: The Vivo S1 packs a massive 4500mAh battery inside that Vivo claims can last more than one full day of rigorous usage. The icing on the cake is the 18W fast charging support. The best thing is the 18W charger comes bundled with the retail box of the Vivo S1.–In-display fingerprint sensor: This is one technology that is mostly found in expensive smartphones but Vivo isn’t leaving it out for its upcoming under Rs 20,000 smartphone – Vivo S1. This is one of the key highlights of the new Vivo phone. The Vivo S1 includes an in-display fingerprint sensor beneath the 6.38-inch Super AMOLED screen and it’s pretty smooth and fast to unlock the phone. Additionally, there’s also the AI face unlock support. –Super AMOLED display: Most under Rs 20,000 phones compromise on their screen. Right now, there are very few under Rs 20,000 phones that offer AMOLED display. For the Vivo S1, the company isn’t compromising on the screen and that’s a great news. The Vivo S1 comes with Super AMOLED screen that makes it useable even under scorching Delhi sun. We will have more to say about the screen of the Vivo S1 in the full review of the smartphone in the days come.Vivo S1 price in IndiaVivo has already launched the Vivo S1 in Indonesia and China. In Indonesia, the Vivo S1 price starts at IDR 35,99,000 that roughly translates to around Rs 17,800. We expect the India price of the Vivo S1 to be similar to Indonesia price. According to indiashopps.com, the Vivo S1 India price will start at Rs 17,990. The website says this price will be for the base model of the smartphone that includes 4GB RAM and 128GB storage. The second model of the Vivo S1 with 6GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage is said to cost around Rs 19,990 while the top-end model of the phone with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage is expected to come with a price tag of Rs 24,990.advertisementIn India, the Vivo S series is said to focus on offline and online both like the V series and unlike the Z series that focuses on online. Vivo recently launched the Vivo Z1 Pro in India for starting price of Rs 14,990 and the phone is selling like hotcakes in the country.ALSO READ | Vivo S1 India launch on August 7: Specs, expected India price, and all details you want to knowALSO READ | Vivo S1 in pictures: Vivo’s first S-series phone looks gorgeous, brings AI triple rear camerasGet real-time alerts and all the news on your phone with the all-new India Today app. Download from Post your comment Do You Like This Story?

Governor-General, His Excellency the Most Hon. Sir Patrick Allen, is imploring church leaders to take a key role in grooming the country’s young people to take up the mantle of leadership. “I want to challenge you, church…leaders to seriously engage in mentoring our young people. All of us must ‘seize the day’ and become involved in preparing them for the leadership of our country,” he said while addressing the Leadership Breakfast of the Portmore Ministers’ Fraternal at the Victory Tabernacle in Portmore, St. Catherine. He argued that the response to the problems, which are evident among many groups of young people, cannot be to write them off as “the lost generation”, noting that the church is called to be “the purveyor of hope and your ministry and message must demonstrate that hope”. The Governor-General stressed that leaders have to “move with the times” and become proficient in the use of new media to communicate their message to the youth. “Church leaders have to be visible and effective workers in the communities which they serve. Their message… must be tailored in the language and style, which will have the greatest impact on the minds of their audience. Church leaders, who cannot adjust to change, including the use of modern technology, will become irrelevant,” he warned. He further urged them to go beyond the walls of the church to reach persons. “The battle for the minds cannot be fought solely within the precincts of our church buildings, nor even through the electronic and print media, useful though these are. Church leaders have to go where the people are and seek to meet their needs where they are,” he advised. “I want to (challenge) all of us and in particular the Portmore Ministers’ Fraternal, to impartially assess the leadership in the various spheres of our society. Where there are failures, be bold in identifying them, but in love. Your mission is to encourage and motivate effective leadership, seeing where you can contribute to solutions and where you can use your own leadership skills to enhance the context in which other leaders function,” he stated. read more

No data was breached during a malware outbreak about a month ago that caused some Recipe Unlimited Corp. restaurants to temporarily close, chief executive Frank Hennessey said Friday.“We have no evidence that any data was compromised,” Hennessey told a conference call with investors to discuss the company’s third-quarter results.The company experienced a network outage on Sept. 28 because of a malware virus. In response, Recipe disconnected restaurants from its network and internet, which disrupted operations at some locations and prompted some restaurants to close for a short time.The company brought the restaurants back online without any data loss, he said, and by Oct. 2 all locations had re-opened and all were operating normally by Oct. 4.Recipe anticipates the incident impacted its overall same restaurant sales by 0.3 per cent in the third quarter, which ended Sept. 30, Hennessey said.It reported same restaurant sales for the quarter were up 1.8 per cent compared to the same time the previous year for its fifth consecutive quarter of positive growth.The company is working with an forensic IT firm to analyze the malware infection and source, he said, and will not disclose any additional information about the incident for security reasons.The update came as Recipe, formerly known as Cara Operations, reported its most recent quarterly earnings.The company earned $23.8 million in its third quarter, up from $21.2 million a year ago. Its profit amounted to 37 cents per diluted share for the three-month period, up from 34 cents per share a year ago.System sales totalled $879.8 million, up from $684.7 million in the same quarter last year.On an adjusted basis, Recipe Unlimited says it earned 50 cents per diluted share, up from 46 cents per diluted share a year ago.Analysts on average had expected a profit of 47 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters Eikon.Recipe Unlimited had 1,370 restaurants at Sept. 30, including 1,311 in Canada and 59 located internationally.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — A decision on whether South Carolina will offer tax breaks in a bid to get the Carolina Panthers to move their practice fields out of North Carolina will go down to the Legislature’s final day.The state Senate has agreed to alter its rules and move the final debate on the measure to Thursday. Typically, a bill has to have a day after a key vote before it can move forward.Gov. Henry McMaster and House leaders enthusiastically backed the bill, which would provide economic incentives for the Panthers to build a new practice facility and team headquarters about 15 miles (25 kilometres) south of its current facilities in Charlotte, North Carolina.Nonetheless, several state senators say a billionaire NFL owner doesn’t need any taxpayer help.The Associated Press
“They raised no issues that engaged Australia’s international obligations,” Mr Bowen said in a statement on Sunday, implying that they were not considered to be refugees.Without a valid visa, the men had no legal right to remain in the country and had been removed at the earliest opportunity, he said. The group was made up of recent arrivals from a number of different boats. The men were returned to Sri Lanka from Christmas Island on Sunday. The federal government has sent more Sri Lankan asylum seekers home, bringing the total number of Sri Lankans “involuntarily” returned to 282.Immigration Minister Chris Bowen said the 50 men were advised of their status and that they were to be removed from Australia. “The government will continue to return people where they do not engage Australia’s international obligations,” Mr Bowen said.The latest group takes to 282 the number of Sri Lankans returned involuntarily since the government announced in August it would process asylum seekers in offshore centres on Nauru and Papua New Guinea.Since the announcement, more than 380 Sri Lankans have returned home – both voluntarily and involuntarily – “as people realise that these smugglers only sell lies and false promises about what awaits people in Australia”, Mr Bowen said.

The High Commissioner of India, Taranjit Singh Sandhu in his address, mentioned that the project symbolizes the spirit of India, which is nothing but the spirit of sharing. He also noted that India will forever remain the ‘First Responder for Sri Lanka’. The island-wide expansion of the Emergency Ambulance Service was started with the launch in Jaffna in July 2018 wherein the Prime Minister of India Modi joined Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe through a live video conference from New Delhi. The service has been available in Northern Province since July 2018; in Uva since August 2018; in North Central Province since September; in North Western Province since October; Central Province since November 2018; and in Sabaragamuwa Province since January 2019.During the visit of Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi to Sri Lanka in March 2015, a request was made by Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe to the Prime Minister of India, to launch a pre-hospital emergency ambulance service in Sri Lanka. The Emergency Ambulance Service was launched in the Eastern Province during a special ceremony held in Ampara today.Daya Gamage, Minister of Primary Industries and Social Empowerment; Dr. Harsha de Silva Minister of Economic Reforms and Public Distribution; Anoma Gamage, Deputy Minister of Petroleum Resources Development; Taranjit Singh Sandhu, High Commissioner of India, and other dignitaries graced the occasion. With this, the island-wide expansion of the Emergency Ambulance Service is complete. The service is now available in all nine Provinces of Sri Lanka. The emergency ambulance service which can be obtained by simply dialing toll free no ‘1990’ on any network in Sri Lanka, is the largest Indian grant project in Sri Lanka after the Indian Housing Project.India says it remains committed to further strengthening the bilateral partnership with Sri Lanka based on Sri Lanka’s own choices and priorities and through effective implementation of people-oriented projects. Accordingly, the 1990 Emergency Ambulance Service was launched in Southern and Western Provinces in July 2016 under an Indian grant of US$ 7.5 million. This grant covered purchase of 88 ambulances, operational expenditure of the service for one year and setting up of an emergency response centre.Given the positive impact of the project, Prime Minister Wickremesinghe requested the Prime Minister of India for an extension of the Emergency Ambulance Service all across the island.Modi made an announcement regarding the expansion of the ambulance service island-wide under a GoI grant assistance during his visit to Sri Lanka in May 2017. An additional grant amount of US$ 15.02 million was provided by India to undertake island-wide expansion which covered purchase of 209 ambulances, operational expenditure of the service for one year and training costs. The External Affairs Minister of India, Dr. S. Jaishankar addressed the gathering through a special video message. He recalled his personal connect with the project since its inception. Dr. S. Jaishankar noted that the service has become a brand in itself. He also recalled how the service had helped Sri Lanka during floods and the recent terrorist attacks. He also pointed out that the project was a great example of what India and Sri Lanka can achieve together. The service has been appreciated well, given the quick response time, efficiency of operations, and employment and training involving local people. read more
“Environmentally sustainable economic growth or ‘Green Growth’ should be promoted as a basis for improving environmental sustainability and attaining the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in the region,” they declared in a Ministerial Declaration on Environment and Development in Asia and the Pacific, 2005, at the end of the two-day meeting in Seoul, Republic of Korea. The MDGs, adopted by the UN Millennium Summit in 2000, seek to slash a host of socio-economic ills, such as extreme poverty, hunger, maternal and infant mortality and lack of access to education and health care, by 2015. “The Seoul Initiative will help us in taking immediate action in implementing the commitments made within the framework of regional cooperation,” UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) Executive Secretary Kim Hak-Su said. “The conference has given us several strong messages that we should move away from ‘business as usual’ policies and programmes,” he added of the Regional Implementation Plan for Sustainable Development in Asia and the Pacific (2006-2010) and the Seoul Initiative on Environmentally Sustainable Economic Growth, adopted by the ministers. “I believe that this conference was an outstanding achievement to promote our efforts towards a synergy between the environment and the economy to not only the Asia-Pacific region but also to the entire world,” said Kwak Kul-Ho, Minister of Environment of the Republic of Korea, host of the meeting. The Implementation Plan includes numerous activities such as promoting partnerships and economic tools to improve ecological efficiency, mobilizing technical and donor support, reviewing national laws and identifying, assessing, monitoring and building capacity to manage disaster risks. The Seoul Initiative contains three targets: improving environmental sustainability of economic growth, enhancing environmental performance in pollution control and ecosystem management, and promoting the environment as a driver of economic growth and development. read more
In a statement read out at a formal meeting by the Council’s President for April, Ambassador Wang Guangya of China, the 15-member body welcomed the statement issued by the Forces démocratiques de libération du Rwanda (FDLR) on 31 March in Rome, “in which they condemn the 1994 genocide and commit themselves to renounce the use of force and cease all offensive operations against Rwanda.”The Council called on the FDLR to turn their positive words into action and show their commitment to peace by “immediately handing all their arms to the United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC) and by taking part in the programme put in place for their earliest voluntary and peaceful return to Rwanda or resettlement,” the statement said.They should also assist the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda in Arusha, Tanzania, to fulfil its mandate, particularly with regard to the arrest and transfer to its custody of those who have been indicted but who remain at large, it said.The Council urged all other armed groups in the DRC which have not followed suit to renounce force and take part in the programme of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR).Meanwhile, the Council welcomed the commitment of the Government of Rwanda to guarantee the return and reintegration of FDLR members and their families and called on the international community to support the programme.It also urged Rwanda and the DRC to work together, cooperating with MONUC “to contribute to peace and stability in the whole Great Lakes region of Africa.” read more
Secretary-General Kofi Annan announced today that Iraqi authorities have officially requested assistance from the United Nations in drafting and building consensus around the country’s new constitution. According to a statement by a UN spokesman, the request came in a letter from the President of the Transitional National Assembly, Mr. Hajim N. Al-Hasani, received yesterday. The letter invited the United Nations to help promote national dialogue between the Iraqi National Assembly’s Constitutional Drafting Committee and the Iraqi people, and to help build consensus nationwide for the draft constitution.The Secretary-General had previously dispatched a constitutional support team from the UN Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI) to Baghdad. The team, led by Mr. Nicholas Fink Haysom of South Africa, has been engaged in preparatory activities since mid-April. Under the leadership of the Secretary-General’s Special Representative, the statement said, Mr. Haysom and his team will work closely with the Iraqi Government, the Transitional National Assembly and other relevant bodies as well as with the international donor community.“The Secretary-General hopes that the people of Iraq will seize this historic opportunity to pursue a constitutional process that is inclusive, participatory, transparent and responsive to the key demands of all Iraqi political constituencies,” the statement concluded. “He hopes that every effort will be made to complete the drafting of the constitution within the timetable for Iraq’s political transition.” read more
“It is not 100 per cent but it is almost 100 per cent,” Mr. León told reporters at the end of a “very long day” in Skhirat, Morocco where Libyan parties have been meeting on the draft political proposal he presented to the parties two weeks ago. Describing the talks today as “very positive” he elaborated by saying “there are two, three positions that are not agreed by the parties” so they need to go back to Libya to consult with their respective constituencies. “After all these nine months of work we just have two, three issues and this is what the parties are going to discuss tomorrow and after tomorrow,” the Special Representative said. “The idea is to be back on Wednesday and to have our next meeting on Thursday.” “And on Thursday we will try to initialize the agreement,” said Mr. León, who is also head of the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL). Looking further ahead, he said “it will pave the way for the discussion on the unity government and on the annexes. And only when all this work is finished the parties will be in a position to sign this agreement.” read more
Greece was going into Friday’s European Union leaders’ summit in Brussels looking for a unanimous decision on fiscal governance that will not involve a treaty change but also hoping that disagreement will not lead to talks falling apart and the financial rescue package for Athens being put in doubt. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy are pushing for eurozone countries’ stricter budget controls to be enshrined in a rewritten EU treaty in a bid to assuage markets and establish a basis for common economic governance. European Council President Herman Van Rompuy believes that a treaty change, which does not have the support of all the EU members, can be avoided. Prime Minister Lucas Papademos met with Van Rompuy in the Belgian capital on Thursday prior to yesterday’s meeting. Sources said that Greece backs Van Rompuy’s proposal and that it will be calling for any decision to be adopted unanimously rather than by a majority vote. Greece is also against the idea put forward by Merkel of a constitutional debt brake, which would involve eurozone countries having to legally bind their governments to maintaining their debt below 60 per cent of gross domestic product. Athens also opposes the involvement of the European Court of Justice in the process of ensuring countries keep to the debt limit and the 3 per cent of GDP deficit ceiling. However, Greece’s greatest concern is that there should be some kind of agreement in Brussels on Friday, thereby ensuring Papademos can continue negotiating the country’s next bailout package, which will include a haircut for private bondholders. The prospect of the talks ending without a deal has prompted fear in Athens that its bailout negotiations would collapse and a disorderly bankruptcy and exit from the euro would loom. A poll by Public Issue for Kathimerini and Skai TV and Radio suggested that the majority of Greeks still want the country to remain in the euro. Two-thirds of respondents said they had a positive view of the euro and 53 per cent felt equally good about the European Union. There also appears to be little support for a return to the drachma as 69 per cent of those questioned said they believe things would be worse if Greece leaves the euro. Only 15 per cent said they would improve. Source: Kathimerini Facebook Twitter: @NeosKosmos Instagram read more
Néandertal : une musculature de ‘fée du logis’ plus que de chasseurPubliée le 18 juillet sur PLoS ONE, une étude expérimentale britannique suggère que des activités domestiques comme le traitement des peaux, bien plus que le maniement de l’épieu, sont susceptibles d’avoir configuré la musculature des Néandertaliens, telle qu’on la déduit de l’examen de leurs fossiles.L’Homme de Néandertal – dont les squelettes fossilisés permettent de restituer l’implantation des muscles – était bien plus costaud du côté droit du corps que du côté gauche. C’est du moins ce qu’ont permis d’observer l’analyse des fossiles retrouvés jusqu’ici. Mais à quoi est dû cette asymétrie ? Pour tenter d’expliquer le mystère, des chercheurs de l’Université de Cambridge, dirigés par Colin Shaw, ont mené une expérience bien particulière. À lire aussiMaladie de Charcot : symptômes, causes, traitement, où en est on ?Ils ont soumis des volontaires à différents types de tâches physiques répétitives : maniement de lourdes lances d’une part et raclage de peaux d’autre part. Puis ils ont effectué des mesures musculaires sur ces ‘cobayes’. Ils ont alors constaté que l’activité musculaire était significativement plus élevée du côté gauche du corps lors des ‘estocs’ (poussées sur la lance). Tandis que les efforts du type ‘raclage’ favorisaient une activité musculaire beaucoup plus élevée du côté droit. Soit une morphologie comparable à celle observée grâce aux fossiles de Néandertal. Ceci suggère donc que cette action de grattage de peaux pourrait être la source réelle de la morphologie asymétrique des bras de Néandertal, ce qui offre une perspective intéressante sur son comportement. En effet, jusqu’ici, les spécialistes avaient surtout mis en avant les activités de chasseur de cet ancêtre, sans pour autant savoir combien de temps il y consacrait. “Les restes de squelettes de Néandertaliens suggèrent qu’ils faisaient quelque chose d’intense ou de répétitif, ou les deux à la fois, avec des répercussions importantes sur leur vie”, explique Colin Shaw. Aussi, “bien que la chasse ait été importante pour eux, notre recherche suggère que beaucoup de leur temps était consacré à l’exécution d’autres tâches, telles que la préparation des peaux de grands animaux. Si nous sommes dans le vrai, cela change notre image des activités quotidiennes des Néandertaliens”, conclut encore le chercheur qui espère bien poursuivre ses travaux pour confirmer leur découverte.

The Brazilian scored his first goal with the Spurs at Wembley and has thanked family and teammates for this special chanceTottenham Hotspur Lucas Moura is over the moon right now.The Brazilian joined the team from Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain in January, and this weekend he was able to score his first goal at Wembley Stadium.The iconic London stadium saw Moura score against Fulham. And he’s too happy.Solskjaer praises Harry Maguire after Man United’s 1-0 win Andrew Smyth – September 14, 2019 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer singled out Harry Maguire for praise after helping Manchester United keep a clean sheet in their 1-0 win over Leicester City.“I’m so happy for this moment and for helping the team to win. It’s been a dream for me to play in the Premier League and now I’ve just scored my first goal at Wembley”, Lucas told the club’s official website as reported by Inside Futbol.“All my family is here and I’m delighted because it was the first goal for my son. I just want to thank all of my team-mates – I’m very proud of them.”“I thought we had control of the game. It was a difficult game because they have strong, quick players but we dominated and found the goals,” he added.“We did our jobs, we are very strong and now we need to continue like this.” read more
Sarah Dunne, the ACLU’s legal director in Seattle, said currently 60 percent of hospital beds in Washington are operated by secular health providers while 40 percent are run by religiously affiliated organizations.According to an analysis by the ACLU, if eight proposed and pending mergers are approved by the end of 2013 those percentages will significantly shift. Forty-seven percent of hospital beds in the state would be run by religiously affiliated hospitals, according to the group’s analysis, while the share of secular beds would decrease to 53 percent.By the end of this year, Dunne said, mergers in Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish counties could result in 100 percent of the hospitals in those communities being run by religiously affiliated institutions.— Aaron CorvinHospitals are supposed to be places of healing, but Washington’s hospitals are becoming places of conflict between religion and government over health care services.The state’s American Civil Liberties Union is questioning whether health care regulatory agencies and public hospital districts should grant approval to faith-based hospitals — primarily Catholic — that don’t offer reproductive and end-of-life services that are widely available at secular hospitals. In some rural areas of the state, the ACLU says, hospital consolidations and mergers could leave communities only with Catholic hospitals which refuse, based on Catholic religious beliefs, to provide such services. read more
