Is lightest the smartest?

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<img alt="[IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" data-url="http://m.timesofindia.com/photo/36501368.cms" src="http://m.timesofindia.com/photo/36501368.cms" style="background-color: #f6f6f6; border: 0px; color: #545454; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.53333282470703px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 100%;" />  NEW DELHI: Indian mobile devices brand Xolo is all set to soon launch what could be world's lightest phone. Sources told TOI Tech that the company is gearing up to introduce its first Windows Phone-based, ultra-light smartphone in early July. The phone, part of its Xolo Win series, will run on Windows Phone 8.1 mobile operating system. It will be a budget device priced around Rs 12,000 and is likely to be the lightest ever phone, weighing a little under 100 gram. A Xolo spokesperson, however, refused to confirm the details, saying the company did not want to discuss its under-development phones or the launch road map. However, TOI Tech has learnt that the Xolo Win smartphone could sport a 4.7-inch screen and will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 200-8212 quad-core processor. This will, of course, not be the first Windows Phone handset by an Indian company as rival Micromax is set to beat Xolo with the launch of two budget WP 8.1 smartphones based on Qualcomm Snapdragon microprocessor on June 16. So far, Samsung Galaxy S4 mini remains the lightest phone at 107 gram, followed by Apple iPhone 5S at 112 gram and HTC Desire 500 at 123 gram. In past one year, Xolo has been establishing itself as a distinct brand different from its parent Lava which also sells under Lava brand name. The two brands have overlapping Android-based offerings, but Lava largely caters to entry-level phones. Is lightest the smartest? As an aside, when phones were yet to turn smart, there was a fierce battle among phone makers to have them made smaller and smaller, with miniaturization attracting a premium price tag. <img alt="[IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" data-url="http://m.timesofindia.com/photo/36535582.cms" src="http://m.timesofindia.com/photo/36535582.cms" style="background-color: #f6f6f6; border: 0px; color: #545454; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.53333282470703px; max-width: 100%;" />  Then came the battle for anorexic phones as they started suffering from a Barbie syndrome, turning slimmer and lighter. Manufacturers got into the 'slimmer and lighter' race after Apple famously started putting its iPhone and iPad range on a strict diet plan. Even as Apple founder Steve Jobs felt smartphone users did not want a screen bigger than 4-inch in size, rivals globally went ahead and made phones with bigger screen sizes, sometimes overdoing it with obnoxious sizes like 6 inches (and above) that border on tablets. Thus the term 'phablets' was coined! The jury, however, is still out as to how much lighter, bigger or thinner smartphones can get due to practical restriction imposed by the need for a good grip! Phones that weigh around 100 gram, sport a screen of around 5 inch and are thin enough to fit the palm comfortably could be here to stay until the smartphones are completely reinvented.</div>

In childhood devotion, but were not concerned. His elder brother, so "great" feel that once they go with Daddy had seen the power at the Akal Takht. In my childhood times Saints wait to come back. Be 91 or 92, CRPF searched the homes of those who speak fairly good to very bad.

Much somavari moonless to ask Daddy to go to the Golden Temple, the son of the circumambulate each school were hundreds martyrdom, do not be naughty. If we kikari eggs providers, beebe son would become. Since then, Black traces of the spheres were not mete. In bugiam bombs magore, traces of bullets in the walls, tanks going to circumambulate the ukhari car service in mind produces anger Hook emitting Sant G, where A? Back to us. 
 
Cari youth, was put in a purse pocket. Today's voice kept cutting out newspaper photo of Bhindranwale wallet got behind the waxy envelope. Moonless see, e. R. Bureau "adventurer-protector" mother forcefully brought purchase. 
 
Whiskers have started reading from a torn city. All the people in the city of saints or the Singhs did not think like our village. Saints that the ear can not hear people speaking into the mouth. Hathopai, eats, four kills. 
 
In the cycle of the argument stronger "khadedhara" began to read. Sikh martyrdom of the reader from becoming communists in their Dhanis bahina bhidaravaliam bhakhaviam be debates. When a beedis Pine in the impact of the government gapauram to get a poor tuhamata power, the anger of the next buthe harabuca to root. Then mudira gathering, be rajinave. 
 
Chad Di youth in a language pair, Yaara mahiphalam pharamaisa declare (some have forgotten lainam): - 
 
The rural village of suninda, village suninda Qazi 
 
We keep our enmity with anyone 
 
Do not put your vegetable

Hi there! They burned the theme of the Guru

Then for some time sapokasamainna the saint's influence began to dry things. Well, in Gur are valeta impact of government propaganda is not too late.

Bavayuda top of this, one of the saints, one speech, one in a gesture Hindustan guidance of Sikhs captivity. 
 
Never doubt there was the fact that Bhindranwale, a Sikh, who are 35-35 Hindu statement why? 
 
Followed by a Sikh scholar, was persuaded, he explained bakamala:

sant ji "Bhindranwale came out khalasai practice leader. When Yu. P. ਹਿੰਦੂਤਵੀ leader against Sikhs napharati statement that the 35 is a Sikh Hindus, Sikhs do not need to fear. At that time, the majority of press is killed. Modern Sikh leadership of an impression multiplication, subtraction will lie low and majority ਹਿੰਦੂਤਵੀ will be successful in politics. But when Bhindranwale in the traditional form in the center of the Sikh politics alone are so intuitive that responds immediately to the "Sikh, only 35 are Hindu." This one with a quarter million larhana Singh - ਦਹਾੜ. This is the top of politics, only Bhindranwale knew. Sikh practice of sitting away from the current leadership must learn from Sant Bhindranwale learned. 
 
Our Baba Bhindranwale 67 years. But it amazing that he was not old. Is still young. In young hearts racing. To the Sikh youth tubada. Born after his martyrdom, his tasavara grit grit are. Young hearts will live forever. History will remember him thus:

1. If the Saints were enemies of Hindus thara Singh's brother said they Gurdaspur jail built the temple inside the temple because six thousand rupees in the temple with a statue of why? 
 
2. Jalalabad filled orders Diwan Chand famous Hindu gentleman came and cried out, "My young virgin daughter away Lal Chand A, my daughter chudavau." Saints quickly Mahendra Singh saimam imposed the duty of the Hindu gentleman daughter of chudavai. If the Saints were enemies of Hindus then why ancient Hindu as Singhs daughter chudavai? It Hukam Chand and ask her daughter. 
 
3. A Hindu girl and his father-in-law was being harassed for dowry, they were saints, saints sent inviting the in-laws family. Kehar Singh, son Gurbaksh Singh, a resident resides in Tanda, Hoshiarpur be immediately brought to the laws of family calling. Saints notes presented platter filled with his in-laws, said, This is now my daughter and ask me that should. Girl's father-in-law began asking mafia. Girl does not have any trouble again.

5. In the Kapurthala ramaina fire was the 5000 Rupiah why costs in the trial? 
 
6. When the Saints batch raie order to communicate in Jalalabad village in Amritsar, the son of a Hindu Pandit Jagdish Rai, Ashok Kumar Amrit was ready for initiation. Singhs said - "well not be keeping compliance." 
 
But he sat stubborn. Singhs said: 
 
"If there's Amrit dissolved without desirous of moderating User Submissions if we had burns over kerosene come." 
 
Ashok Kumar immediately filled keg of kerosene temple and said, "If I played ਮਰਿਯਾਦਾ, let me burn oil." 
 
Ashok Kumar Amrit Hardev Singh became desirous of moderating User Submissions and again in June 1984 to protect Darbar Sahib by the Indian Army, under the command of saints martyred jujhada. Sants him the enmity of Hindus not known? 
 
7. Pandit seal moon seal Singh became a true man and his wife who identify their two daughters (God Kaur, Sat Kaur) learned in his life at the behest of the saints, including accounts of why La? After 1984, Pandit Singh's nephew gift seal Singh Sikh struggle excellent work. 
 
8. Yudh Morcha opportunities often come to the urban Hindu saints lived. When the Saints filled under threat letters written these Hindus came to the Saints. Question that these Hindus fear of power, why was not it? 
 
Government propaganda is the bhindra create Khalistan want to break the country, but the reality is that Bhindranwale had not ever demanded Khalistan | It only had a way to deceive the masses of the Indian government | Bhindranwale he clearly said they want to become first class citizens in India are not second rate | India that we see now whether or not to continue with | Khalistan had told them the same thing about the Indian Army Akal Takht Temple attack will be the foundation of the Khalistan | means this was clearly an attack that killed Sikhs, then his killer Sikhs living in India? 
 
You never know Bhindranwale were asking what demands from the Government of India? Ah, your eyes will be opened to the demands is also a crime in India? My family Bhindranwale was a rival, but was determined Geo Geo truth the eyes of all the family were khuladiam | bus is required once to stop hate to think carefully and understand the reality of | that the political leader Badal, Tohra, Ramoowalia, Talwandi, harachand Longowal etc. Bhindranwale wanted maravauna kioke entire state of Bhindranwale was a supporter and live Bhindranwale was dal ni galani so in the Indian state of war with Hind who had given himself today Punjab called custodians | 
 
Many of those heroic bhindra part of a speech in which part of their learning by 35 to Hindu breaking words are presented twist | The first thing is that you give a speech with the man in your vision become a terrorist Word then ਅਮਿਤਾਬ, Rajiv Gandhi, Praveen togaria, Bal Thackeray, etc. etc. Why Nee speak against you? Rajiv amitaba of the Sikhs were called openly for killing in 1984 | Bhindranwale was the only statement so kioke a Hindu leader, said a few days ago 35 is a part of Hindu, Sikh, and the same answer Sant Ji had given you such a chance comes, then, as a part of a Sikh are Hindus 35-35, but they kill any Hindu name, the name struck Alternatively you ordered Rajiv Gandhi, Sikhs openly to kill the army and police officers were ordered, then the terrorist who?

BEIJING: Seeking to allay fears over China's expansionist agenda, Premier Li Keqiang said territorial expansion is not part of the Chinese DNA and the country will never indulge in it.  "Expansion is not in the Chinese DNA, nor can we accept the logic that a strong country is bound to become hegemonic," Li said in London on Wednesday amid Vietnam's move to obtain international arbitration over its South China Sea dispute with China.  China will "have to take resolute measures to stop acts that provoke incidents and damage peace," Li said. China is determined to prevent the regional situation from getting out of control, to uphold order and stability and bring the issue of South China Sea back on track.  Beijing wants to make sure Vietnam, the Philippines and Japan do not receive Western support in their territorial quarrels with China. "China's development over the past three decades has been achieved in a peaceful and stable environment," he said. "We have benefited from this environment. Why should we give up this benefit and environment?"  Li also dismissed the possibility of a "hard landing" for the Chinese economy. "I can promise everyone honestly and solemnly there won't be a hard landing," he said, adding the Chinese economy will move within a "reasonable range". This means economic growth of around 7% and inflation of less than 3.5% -- through "targeted regulation", instead of large stimulus packages. </div>

WASHINGTON — Germany plans to increase its defense budget in the coming years, however it is still expected to fall short of NATO spending guidelines.

But German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen argues that the percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) spent on defense is less important than how the money is spent. “It’s not only a matter of 2 percent of the GDP, but it’s also a question of where you want to spend the money and how you want to spend the money,” she said Thursday at an Atlantic Council event. In advance of September’s NATO summit in Wales, US officials have been steadily pushing alliance members to contribute at least 2 percent of GDP, a NATO spending guideline. Only the US, UK and Greece spend more than 2 percent GDP on defense. Germany currently spends about 1.3 percent of its GDP on defense. In 2013, the country spent about $44 billion, according to the International Institute for Strategic Studies. “There will be a slight increase in the next years,” von der Leyen said. But Germany’s GDP has been growing, meaning defense expenditures look smaller. “The German government budget is not growing as the GDP is growing,” von der Leyen said. “This is good news for the German economy.” The minister said NATO nations should “find common capabilities [where] we want to invest.” Von der Leyen’s trip to Washington was her first since becoming defense minister late last year. She met with US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Thursday morning where the upcoming NATO summit was among the topics discussed, Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby said in a statement. In May, Hagel called on NATO members to bring their country’s finance ministers to September’s ministerial meetings in Wales for defense investment discussions</div>

The system will serve as a computer library or data base of known threats and friendly aircraft in specific regions of the world, said Thomas Lawhead, operations lead for the JSF integration office. The mission data packages, now being developed by the Air Force’s 53rd Wing are designed to accommodate new information as new threat data becomes available. The data base is loaded with a wide range of information to include commercial airliner information and specifics on Russian and Chinese fighter jets. Without the mission data files and computer-driven sensor fusion of the <a class="externalLink" href="http://www.military.com/equipment/f-35a-lightning-ii" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: #f9f9f7; border-bottom-left-radius: 5px; border-bottom-right-radius: 5px; border-top-left-radius: 5px; border-top-right-radius: 5px; color: #003333; font-family: Arial, 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 20.53333282470703px; margin: 0px -3px; padding: 0px 3px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">F-35 Joint Strike Fighter</a>, fighter pilots would have to simultaneously interpret and organize input from a range of different sensors including their radar warning receiver, Lawhead explained. “You can think of the mission data as the memory that feeds the fusion engine to identify threats. It is the data which tells the aircraft whether something is a good guy or a bad guy,” said Col. Carl Schaefer, the Air Force’s top JSF integration official. “A sensor receives input. Then, the aircraft’s fusion engine takes that input and fuses it with other input from other sensors. It then takes that information and balances it against the mission data. Based on that match it can tell you what the threat is,” he explained. Sensors on the F-35 include the Active Electronically Scanned Array, or AESA, radar as well as a system called Distributed Aperture System, or DAS, which combines input from as many as six different electro-optical cameras on the aircraft. The aircraft also draws upon a technology called Electro-optical Targeting System, or EOTS, which helps identify and pinpoint targets. EOTS, which does both air-to-air and air-to-ground targeting, is able to combine forward-looking infrared and infrared search and track technology. Overall, information from all of the JSF sensors is “fused” through the aircraft’s computer, providing the pilot with clear, integrated information. The Air Force is developing 12 different mission data files for 12 different geographic areas, Lawhead explained. The first four are slated to be ready by the time the service reaches its planned initial operating capability with the F-35A in August 2016. “One of the ways we respond to emerging threats is through the mission data files. If we are going to a region of the world, we want to be able to understand what the threats are and make sure that all the data that we have on the bad guys of that area is fed into the mission data file,” Schaefer added.</div>
