Army Chief General MM Naravane on Friday said that the situation along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) is slightly tensed but the army is fully prepared to deal with every situation.

Naravane, who arrived in Ladakh on Thursday said the morale of the jawans are high and they are ready to face any challenge.

Tensions flared up in eastern Ladakh after China unsuccessfully attempted to occupy Indian territory in the southern bank of Pangong lake four days back when the two sides were engaged in diplomatic and military talks to resolve the festering border row.

On the first day of his two-day visit to Ladakh on Thursday, Gen Naravane held a series of meetings with top commanders about the evolving situation in the region as well as on India’s overall combat readiness to deal with any eventualities.

“I visited different places after reaching Leh. I talked to officers, JCOs and took stock of preparedness. The morale of jawans is high and they are ready to deal with all challenges,” Army chief MM Naravane said.

“The current situation along LAC is a bit delicate (naajuk) and serious (gambhir). But we are thinking about it. For our security we had undertaken some precautionary steps and we are assured that situation will remain unchanged. We have taken steps we will help us,” he said.

Lionel Messi: Barcelona continue talks with player’s father for second day

Messi senior arrived in Barcelona on Wednesday morning and reportedly held exploratory talks with club president Josep Maria Bartomeu and the rest of the board.

Messi’s father and agent, Jorge Messi, held discussions with the club Wednesday amid the transfer saga that has taken the soccer world by storm.

Last week, Messi delivered a request to leave the club, with the Argentine intent on exercising his termination clause that would allow him to walk away from Camp Nou with Barca receiving no financial compensation.

Additionally, as per the report, the two clubs Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain which have shown real interest in signing the superstar are also not willing to get entangled in a legal dispute.

There can be a last minute twist to the ongoing transfer saga involving football icon Lionel Messi and his boyhood club FC Barcelona.

Having taken advice from his father Jorge and legal team, Messi is planning to make a U-turn on his decision to quit the Catalan giants having sensationally handed in a transfer request last week. 

Messi told the club last week he wanted to leave and the two parties are in dispute over the terms of his contract.

Messi no longer considers himself a Barcelona player and did not attend training for the third consecutive day.

The club had been fining Messi €100,000 (£89,000) daily for his absence and missing a COVID-19 test, but Bartomeu has reportedly softened his stance and said the 33-year-old will not be fined, and is being given a few days off to consider his options.

Foreign Minister S Jaishankar said on Thursday he was “totally convinced” that a solution to the India-China border row had to be found in the domain of diplomacy.

“I am also conscious that you have the situation that we have in border areas of the western sector (across Ladakh). Because we have the long (term) view, our position there has been very clear–we have agreements and understandings with China. The agreements and understandings must be scrupulously observed by both parties,” Mr Jaishankar said at an online event for the launch of his book.

“The reality is what happens at the border will impact the relationship, you cannot separate it. I made this point a few days earlier in another context, I would say that I am totally convinced that the solution to the situation has to be found in the domain of diplomacy. And I say that with responsibility,” he said, according to Press Trust of India.

On September 4, 1998, the student of Stanford University grads filed paperwork with the state of California to officially create Google Inc. To initiate ideas about searching and indexing the World Wide Web into a profitable company.

Google is not only a search engine at the moment, but today it has joined the list of world’s largest technology company. Google now also manufactures smartphones including many Internet of things, devices equipped with artificial intelligence, mobiles, desktop operating systems, TV OS, watch OS. Not only this, Google also has its own cloud storage data bank, where data is collected for millions of users from all over the world. Established on 4 September 1998, but company has celebrated this time on 27 September as its birthday.

In August 1998, Google received the first investment of $ 1 million, which was paid to Google Inc. Google Inc no longer exists.

  • After this, the company applied for Incorporation in California and on 4 September 1998 was informed of a bank account there. Previously Google has celebrated its birthday even on this day. Many consider it to be Google’s birthday.

In September itself, the company recruited its first employee, starting from a garage.

  • For all these reasons, the company doubted the exact date of its birthday in 2013.

21 years ago, two Stanford Ph.D. students, Sergey Brin and Lawrence (Larry) Page, published a paper about launching a prototype of a “large-scale search engine.”

“We chose our system name, Google, because it is a common spelling of googol, or 10100 and fits well with our goal of building very large-scale search engines,” the students wrote.

Today, Google operates all over the world in over 100 languages, answering trillions of search queries each year. 

The scale is large, to say the least.

Happy 22nd Birthday, Google!​

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, on Wednesday signed a megawatt deal with Over the Top streaming giant, Netflix, to produce exclusive content.

Under the deal, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will create documentary series, feature films, scripted shows and children’s programming via their unnamed production company.

Harry and Meghan, who recently bought a home in Montecito, California, have joined other public figures including the former US president Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, in producing content for the streaming platform.

“Our lives, both independent of each other and as a couple, have allowed us to understand the power of the human spirit, of courage, resilience and the need for connection,” the couple said in a statement.

“Through our work with diverse communities and their environments, to shining a light on people and causes around the world, our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope. As new parents, making inspirational family programming is also important to us, as is powerful storytelling through a truthful and relatable lens,” they added.

The Sussexes have reportedly started holding meetings with a number of Hollywood studios since moving to California this year. Meghan, who is known for her stint in the popular drama ‘Suits’, said that they intend to create content that gives them “unprecedented reach” to share “impactful content that unlocks action.”

“Harry and Meghan have inspired millions of people all around the world with their authenticity, optimism and leadership,” said Ted Sarandos, a co-chief executive and the chief content officer at Netflix. “We’re incredibly proud they have chosen Netflix as their creative home – and are excited about telling stories with them that can help build resilience and increase understanding for audiences everywhere,” he added.

While Meghan has had a successful acting career before meeting to Prince Harry, she has made it clear that she doesn’t intend to return to acting.

Earlier this year in January, Prince Harry and Meghan gave up their royal titles. In an Instagram post, the couple mentioned that they wanted: to work to become financially independent, while continuing to support the Queen.

Notably, the Royal officials ‘will examine Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Netflix deal’ as the couple agreed to seek approval from the royals before starting any commercial venture.

After the nationwide ban on the wildly popular game PUBG Mobile, Andhra Pradesh government, in a major breakthrough, on Thursday, announced to bar online games like rummy and poker. According to the state government, these games were pushing the youth on a “wrong path”.

The decision came after the State Cabinet approved a proposal to amend Andhra Pradesh Gaming Act, 1974, to ban online games that involve money transactions.

The government said that these online games were leading the youth to “unhealthy tendencies, therefore, the State Cabinet has taken the decision to ban them to protect the youth.

The state cabinet that met under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy took the decision to ban online gambling, Information Minister Perni Venkataramaiah (Nani) said. Addressing media at the end of the press conference, the minister said, ” online gambling has become a vice that was damaging the youth by misleading them. So we have decided to ban all such gambling to protect the youth”.

The revised amendment to the Gaming Act proposes six months of imprisonment for those who indulge in playing them and one year jail term for the organisers. For the second time defaulters, the imprisonment will increase to two years with fine.

Raj Kundra, CEO of Viaan Industries Limited, said, “I think it’s a fantastic decision. I have been saying from the beginning it is important to have a regulated market. I am waiting to see when other States take the same stand with all real money games from Poker to Fantasy sports allowing just the officially licensed and regulated players.”

British actor Robert Pattinson, who will be donning the cap of the Batman, has tested positive for the novel coronavirus, the US media reported.

The shooting for the much-anticipated film, The Batman, has halted once again, days after it resumed following the coronavirus outbreak.

Warner Bros, the makers of the film, shared the information in an official statement without revealing the name. “A member of The Batman production has tested positive for Covid-19, and is isolating in accordance with established protocols. Filming is temporarily paused,” the statement read.

The Vanity Fair, Hollywood reporters and Variety among others have claimed that a highly placed source related to the film has confirmed that Pattinson is the said person in the statement.

Vanity Fair said British actor Pattinson, 34, caught the virus days after shooting resumed near London, after a six-month delay to filming.

The shooting of the film began in Glasgow earlier this year but was suspended after the coronavirus pandemic took over the world.

The new adaptation, directed by Planet of the Apes Filmmaker Matt Reeves, recently dropped the much-waited trailer of the film wherein Batman was showed to be in his second year of vigilantism. While critics initially doubted Pattinson’s potential to play the Caped Crusader, trailer of the film gave rest to all the doubts with actor receiving high praises from one and all.

The Batman was initially due for release in June 2021 but has been delayed to October 2021.

Meanwhile, Pattinson co-starrer film, Tenet, which is currently running in theatres, has been touted as the first Blockbuster of post covid era.
