A device that could help predict heart attacks

Facing a stiff competition from rivals in the mobile space, Apple seems to have decided to go a step ahead and expand into new product categories. But the new product Apple is reportedly working on is no less than a surprise.
According to a report from the San Francisco Chronicle, the Cupertino-based tech giant is planning to expand into both medical devices and cars.
If the report is to be believed, the company is currently working on a device that could predict heart attacks by listening to the sound of your blood. For this new device, Apple is working with audio engineer Tomlinson Holman, who is known for inventing THX and 10.2 surround sound, said the report.

Rumours are doing the rounds that, besides medical devices, Apple is also planning to foray into automobiles. However, there are no clear reports that can elucidate Apple's interest in cars.
The San Francisco Chronicle report said that Apple's Adrian Perica had met with Tesla CEO Elon Musk last spring, but there are no details as to what was the agenda of the meeting and what all disucssions had taken place during the meeting.

Narendra Modi : Centre politicising gate installation at Narmada dam

Gujarat Chief Minister and BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on Monday alleged that the Centre was ignoring the state's repeated demand to install gates at the Sardar Sarovar dam.
"Forty years after Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru laid the foundation stone of the project, the state is still fighting for the installation of gates at Narmada dam, only because of non-cooperation from the Congress government at Centre," Modi said in Gujarat on Monday.
He addressed a farmers' rally after laying the foundation stone of the ambitious Rs 10,000 crore Saurashtra Narmada Avataran Irrigation project, which will take Narmada water to 115 dams and reservoirs in Saurashtra. Saurashtra region gets less than average rainfall, and water shortage is a perennial problem.

Centre politicising gate installation at Narmada dam, says Narendra Modi

"I met Prime Minister (Manmohan Singh) many times and sought permission to install gates, but received a cold response... which has annoyed all of us," Modi said, adding that the installation work would take nearly three years. "Nearly 60 per cent of water from Narmada river goes to waste as the dam work is incomplete, which we could save by installing the gates," he said.
"Congress has a problem with chaiwala (tea seller), but politics should be in its place and Congress should not scuttle the aspirations of farmers of the Saurashtra region.
"We have an economist Prime Minister and a knowledgeable Finance Minister, but the country's growth rate in agriculture has stagnated at two or three per cent, while Gujarat, which is facing shortage of water, has achieved 10 per cent growth rate," Modi said.

Congress, NCP may swap Raigad and Amravati seats in Maharashtra

Having finalised the 26:22 seat sharing formula, Congress and NCP in Maharashtra are likely to swap Raigad and Amravati Lok Sabha constituencies in the coming general elections.
NCP will most probably field Water Resources Minister Sunil Tatkare, a close aide of Ajit Pawar, from Raigad, while PWD minister Chhagan Bhujbal will test waters from Nashik parliamentary seat, replacing his nephew Sameer. NCP will give the Amravati seat to Congress in return for Raigad.
NCP had proposed that as Congress was unable to wrest the Raigad seat from Shiv Sena for the three consecutive terms, it should be given a chance, sources said. Similarly, NCP could not win Amravati seat, which was unsuccessfully contested by Rajendra Gavai of RPI last time with its's support.

LS polls: Congress, NCP may swap Raigad and Amravati seats in Maharashtra

However, Congress sources said that the swap was not yet finalised. NCP sources said party supremo and Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar will meet ministers and office-bearers deputed to tour the 22 constituencies on Tuesday. "He will take stock of the political situation in the 22 constituencies and discuss finalisation of candidates. It is likely that both Congress and NCP will announce their list of candidates after February 21," party sources added.
Home Minister R R Patil has toured the Maadha constituency and interacted with the local party leaders to discuss who would replace Sharad Pawar. Pawar has been elected to the Rajya Sabha and has announced quitting electoral politics. "The local unit of NCP is divided between senior leader Vijaysinh Mohite-Patil and Suresh Shinde, brother of local MLA Baban Shinde," sources informed.
Despite the local unit in Satara demanding that senior leader Ramraje Naik-Nimbalkar be given the ticket, it is likely that sitting MP Udayanraje Bhosale will be fielded again, sources added. After some delay, Congress and NCP decided to continue with 26:22 formula (26 for Congress and 22 for NCP) for the 48 seats in Maharashtra.
NCP has already said that it will not part with Kolhapur seat, and has decided to field Dhananjay Mahadik. The sitting MP, Sadashiv Mandlik, had contested as an independent after being denied ticket by NCP in 2009, and has since joined Congress.
Sources said Congress was not demanding Hingoli for Indian Youth Congress chief Rajiv Satav, as he had decided not to contest. Sitting NCP MPs Supriya Sule (Baramati), Padamsinh Patil (Osmanabad), Sanjay Dina Patil (Mumbai North East), Sanjeev Naik (Thane), Praful Patel (Gondia) will get tickets again.
Laxman Jagtap (Maval), Anand Paranjpye (Kalyan), Suryakanta Patil (HIngoli) have been finalised. Ministers Jaidutt Kshirsagar and Suresh Dhas are vying for the Beed Lok Sabha seat, against BJP leader Gopinath Munde.

Rajiv Gandhi assassination

The fate of three death row convicts in Rajiv Gandhi assassination case will be sealed on Tuesday when the Supreme Court will pronounce its verdict on their plea for commutation of their sentence to life imprisonment on ground of delay in deciding their mercy plea.
The judgement will be delivered by a bench headed by Chief Justice P Sathasivam, which had reserved its verdict on the plea of three convicts--Santhan, Murugan and Perarivalan- on February 4.
Their plea was strongly opposed by the Centre which had said that it was not a fit case for the apex court to commute death sentence on the ground of delay in deciding mercy plea. Admitting that there has been delay in deciding the mercy petitions, the government, however, had contended that the delay was not unreasonable, unexplainable and unconscionable to commute death penalty.

Verdict on plea of convicts in Rajiv Gandhi case tomorrow

The counsel, appearing for the convicts, had contested the Centre's arguments, saying that they have suffered due to the delay by the government in deciding the mercy petitions and the apex court should intervene and commute their death sentence to life term.
The convicts had submitted that mercy plea of other condemned prisoners, which were filed after them, were decided but their petitions were kept pending by the government.
The apex court had in May 2012 decided to adjudicate the petitions of Rajiv Gandhi killers against their death penalty and had directed that their plea, pending with the Madras High Court, be sent to it.
The court had passed the order on a petition by one L K Venkat, seeking transfer of their plea out of Tamil Nadu on the ground that free and fair hearing would not be possible in the state due to the surcharged atmosphere in favour of the convicts.

McCullum-led NZ stun India by taking a 325-run lead on Day 4

Bowlers win you Test matches because you need 20 wickets to win one. India were once again taught that lesson by New Zealand on Monday when Brendon McCullum's second consecutive double century, BJ Watling's 124 and a world-record partnership of 352 for the sixth wicket between those two pushed the visitors out of the driver's seat on the penultimate day of the second Test in Wellington.
India could take just one wicket in the entire fourth day's play that was dominated by New Zealand who began proceedings six runs ahead and ended up adding 319 more to it to build a lead of 325 - largely due to the record-breaking partnership between McCullum and Watling.

Shami was the only bowler to take a wicket in three session on Monday when he removed Watling with the third new ball of the Kiwi second innings. But it had no effect on McCullum who continued to make India pay heavily for dropping him twice on Sunday. He was batting on 281 and debutant Jimmy Neesham on 66 when stumps were drawn with NZ 571 for 6.

McCullum (281*) struck his second double ton of the series in a world record stand with Watling (124) as India could take just one wicket on Day 4 of the 2nd Test.

India had New Zealand in a spot of bother at 94 for 5 after taking a 246-run lead in the first innings on day three but to their frustration are now facing the prospect of even losing the match.

McCullum's marathon knock has now extended to six sessions at the crease, facing 525 balls and hitting 28 fours and 4 sixes. After Watling departed, Neesham came out playing strokes and had a debut half-century under his belt with the help of 9 fours.
For India, Zaheer Khan (3 for 129), Mohammad Shami (2 for 136) and Ishant Sharma (0 for 124) toiled hard on an unresponsive pitch, particularly with the third new ball. Ravindra Jadeja (1 for 108) was rendered ineffective as well. Part-timers Rohit Sharma (0 for 40) and Virat Kohli (0 for 13) were given a go to try something different, while skipper MS Dhoni (0 for 5) also bowled after the tea-break.

New Zealand started day four at 252 for 5 but McCullum and Watling didn't allow the Indians to take advantage of any early morning help on offer. And once they had re-settled after a good night's sleep, runs started flowing from the Kiwi bats.
The first hour of play on Monday accrued 56 runs in 13 overs and the 200 of the partnership was on the board. Dhoni made use of Jadeja with an attacking field, but the Kiwis had spent enough time on the crease by now to handle those tactics.

McCullum raised his 150 and with that shifted his target to another double hundred in the series. India had half a chance of dismissing the Kiwi skipper when, after being give two lives on Monday, he edged Zaheer past the slip cordon wherein Shikhar Dhawan was standing at third slip. Watling though was solid as ever at the other end, and the 250-run partnership came up in the 126th over, just before the break.
Starting at 440 for 5 after tea, the set batsmen had another string of batting records coming their way, with the pitch playing perfect foil to them. As Dhoni bowled his gentle medium-pace first up, McCullum and Watling crossed the 350-mark for their partnership in the 159th over.
An over later, they brought up the highest ever sixth-wicket partnership in Test cricket breaking the 351-mark by Mahela and Prasanna Jayawardene, also set against India at Ahmedabad in 2009. NZ lead also swelled to 200 in the meantime.
Dhoni then took the third new ball and Shami brought relief straight away by trapping Watling in front, but not before he had done enough damage to India's chance of a first win in 2014.
Neesham had no intentions of holding himself back and came out in a free-flowing mode to easily collect boundaries while also rotating strike appreciably with his senior partner.
McCullum, in the the meantime, brought up his 250 - raising the possibility of another piece of history by becoming the first Test trip-centurion from New Zealand on the final day of India's forgettable tour.
