LG smartwatch coming in 2014: CEO

SEOUL: LG will launch its first smartwatch in 2014, the head of its mobile unit said on Monday, tapping into the nascent market for wearable devices seen as the mobile industry's new source of growth. 

The announcement from the South Korean smartphone maker came after industry leaderSamsung on Sunday launched the second generation of its own internet-enabled smartwatch, Galaxy Gear 2. 

"We are working on the development of wearable device... more specifically in the form of a watch," Park Jong-Seok, the CEO of LG Electronics' mobile unit, told reporters. 

"(It) will come out this year," he said, adding the watch would be remotely linked to smartphones. 

"We're working hard to put on the table something that other companies have not offered yet," Park said, without elaborating further. 

LG - the world's fourth-largest smartphone maker - has not entered yet the market for wearable devices currently dominated by firms like Samsung, Sony and Pebble. 

A typical smartwatch allows users to make calls, receive texts and emails, take photos and access apps. 

So far, few companies have managed to generate large consumer excitement or sales in the market, also eyed by firms like Apple and Google. 

Apple is believed to be set to launch its own smartwatch soon, while Google is moving towards a wider consumer launch of its internet-enabled Glass later this year. 

The much-anticipated Galaxy Gear smartwatch launched by Samsung last September, however, was received coldly by consumers, who viewed it unfashionable and unwieldy. 

Now Samsung - the world's top maker of smartphones and mobile phones - seeks to lure more consumers with an array of new features on the Galaxy Gear 2, including sport tracking software, a heart rate monitor and remote control for devices such as TVs. 

Many handset makers are banking on smart devices to boost revenue as sales of smartphones slow in the mature, and most profitable markets. 

Though smartphone sales surged 42.4% to 968 million units last year, according to Gartner, the growth came from developing markets like Latin America, India and China, while mature markets such as western Europe and the United States hit the brakes. 

Meanwhile, global smartwatch sales are expected grow this year by more than 500% from 1.9 million units in 2013, and to expand further in coming years, according to the market researcher Strategic Analytics. 

Advanced markets including the US and Western Europe will drive the market, it said.

Google website to track global deforestation in real-time!!

 Google website to track global deforestation in real-time

Google has launched a new website that allows users to watch and track deforestation all over the world in near real time.









WASHINGTON: Google has launched a new website that allows users to watch and track deforestation all over the world in near real time.
The new website called Global Forest Watch is leveraged with deforestation data and outfitted with curated maps and in-depth reporting.
Scientists have been studying forests for centuries, chronicling the vital importance of these ecosystems for human society, Google said in a blog post.
But they still lack timely and reliable information about where, when, and why forests are disappearing.
This is about to change with the launch of Global Forest Watch - an online forest monitoring system created by the World Resources Institute, Google and a group of more than 40 partners.
Global Forest Watch uses technologies including Google Earth Engine and Google Maps Engine to map the world's forests with satellite imagery, detect changes in forest cover in near-real-time, and make this information freely available to anyone with Internet access.
By accessing the most current and reliable information, everyone can learn what's happening in forests around the world.
According to data from the University of Maryland and Google, the world lost more than 500 million acres of forest between 2000 and 2012, a report in the blog said.
That's the equivalent of losing 50 soccer fields' worth of forests every minute of every day for the past 13 years.
By contrast, only 0.8 million square km have regrown, been planted, or restored during the same period, according to the blog.

What is Love????





Love is eternal and wonderful feeling which can't express in words just feel it.Everyone wants to love and to be loved.At that time this feeling helps to reveal all the positive things of the person to whom you love.Only Love is able to change the person the way a parent can change a baby. Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up..Love is not only for having girlfriend or boyfriend.Love is when my mom kisses me & says "mera bacha lakhon me ek hai" .Love is when you come back from your work dad said"itni late kyu ho gyi" . Love is when your brother says"tu tension mat le me hu na tere saath". Love is when your sister said"chal kahi ghum k aate hai". its all about LOVE.Love you all who have been a special part of your life. Spread love all over the world as much you can. Love is like a sun giving light to our darkest days.Love is most deep human feeling.Love can make life full of fun and happiness.Love is able to give us a new life,help us new strengths and creative forces.Sometimes love is very complex feeling since it is associated not only with tenderness & joy but also with pain & tears.Love is mixed with many types of feeling. There are 3 types of Love:-
1.Love of family:-
Love your parents,brothers and sister and your family members who can support you in every stage of your life & sort out your problems.
2.Love of teachers:-
love your teachers and respect them .It is similar as love of family. They were always besides you to help you,encourage you ,motivate you, try to solve your all problems.
3.Love for someone:-
It is different from love of family and teachers.It is a amazing feeling .It doesn't care about the rules,religion,caste or culture.It would be happen in any age orany where or any time. If two heart become one soul is called LOVE. If you love someone ,then respect their feeling and never hurt them. If you were in love.everything will look different,everytime you think about that person to whom you love and you want to share all the  things with them . If there is a silence b/w two people,so profound was they both love with each other,they don't need to express their feeling in words.
THATS ALL ABOUT LOVE.

Valentine Day !!! Why we all are celebrated this Valentine day?

Every February 14, across the United States and in other places around the world, candy, flowers and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint, and where did these traditions come from? Find out about the history of this centuries-old holiday, from ancient Roman rituals to the customs of Victorian England.  

The history of Valentine's Day--and the story of its patron saint--is shrouded in mystery. We do know that February has long been celebrated as a month of romance, and that St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. But who was Saint Valentine, and how did he become associated with this ancient rite?

The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons, where they were often beaten and tortured. According to one legend, an imprisoned Valentine actually sent the first "valentine" greeting himself after he fell in love with a young girl--possibly his jailor's daughter--who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter signed "From your Valentine," an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories all emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic and--most importantly--romantic figure. By the Middle Ages, perhaps thanks to this reputation, Valentine would become one of the most popular saints in England and France.

Origins of Valentine's Day: A Pagan Festival in February



While some believe that Valentine's Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine's death or burial--which probably occurred around A.D. 270--others claim that the Christian church may have decided to place St. Valentine's feast day in the middle of February in an effort to "Christianize" the pagan celebration of Lupercalia. Celebrated at the ides of February, or February 15, Lupercalia was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus.

To begin the festival, members of the Luperci, an order of Roman priests, would gather at a sacred cave where the infants Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, were believed to have been cared for by a she-wolf or lupa. The priests would sacrifice a goat, for fertility, and a dog, for purification. They would then strip the goat's hide into strips, dip them into the sacrificial blood and take to the streets, gently slapping both women and crop fields with the goat hide. Far from being fearful, Roman women welcomed the touch of the hides because it was believed to make them more fertile in the coming year. Later in the day, according to legend, all the young women in the city would place their names in a big urn. The city's bachelors would each choose a name and become paired for the year with his chosen woman. These matches often ended in marriage.

Valentine's Day: A Day of Romance


Lupercalia survived the initial rise of Christianity and but was outlawed—as it was deemed “un-Christian”--at the end of the 5th century, when Pope Gelasius declared February 14 St. Valentine's Day. It was not until much later, however, that the day became definitively associated with love. During the Middle Ages, it was commonly believed in France and England that February 14 was the beginning of birds' mating season, which added to the idea that the middle of Valentine's Day should be a day for romance.

Valentine greetings were popular as far back as the Middle Ages, though written Valentine's didn't begin to appear until after 1400. The oldest known valentine still in existence today was a poem written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of Orleans, to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt. (The greeting is now part of the manuscript collection of the British Library in London, England.) Several years later, it is believed that King Henry V hired a writer named John Lydgate to compose a valentine note to Catherine of Valois.
