Galaxy S III: Samsung unveils latest rival to iPhone

London: Samsung Electronics unveiled a new top-of-the-range Galaxy smartphone in London on Thursday, updating the most direct rival to Apple's iPhone with a larger touch screen and more powerful processor.
The South Korean technology group, which overtook Finnish company Nokia as the world's biggest cellphone maker earlier this year, said the new Galaxy SIII model would go on sale in some markets in late May and around the world from June.
Last week, Samsung reported a record $5.2 billion quarterly profit, boosted by Galaxy smartphone range whose sales outstripped the iPhone.

 

 Samsung sold around 45 million smartphones in the first quarter and contributed most of its operating profit.
The new Galaxy S III model will have a 4.8 inch touch screen, 8 megapixel camera and will use the latest version of Google's Android software.
Analysts said the expected massive marketing campaign and features of the handset - billed as the official smartphone of the London 2012 Olympics - were likely enough to generate strong sales, but the launch left many of them unexcited.
"It is not an eye-catching device that will overwhelm consumers," said IDC analyst Francisco Jeronimo.
The blue lights in the launch venue downtown London, echoing the cold rainy day outside, and the background sounds of nature, which Samsung said inspired the design, resulted in a fairly muted atmosphere in the room.

Estoril target for Stoner and Pedrosa

Stoner, who took his first ever GP victory at Jerez last week, will try to do the same now in Estoril, the only track on the calendar where victory eludes him in the premier class. He won in 250cc (2005) and has 3 podium finishes in MotoGP.

Casey Stoner

"A flying visit back home to Switzerland and now we have the Grand Prix of Portugal this weekend. After our win in Jerez, I'm looking forward to going to Estoril and hopefully we can maintain the form we've had in the past two races as we've shown good pace. However, we do need to fix the arm pump issue as it's held us back a little and it's disappointing we weren't able to fix it before Jerez."

Dani Pedrosa

"I'm happy with our performance in the first two races, the results were good, but still not perfect. So, I will try to do the extra push in Estoril, where we achieved the first victory of the season last year after a very good weekend. It will be important to set up the bike well in a tricky circuit like this, with long corners and hard braking. It is the first time we go there with the 1000cc RC213V and a good position on the grid is always crucial in Estoril."

The healing mind - the mind body connection

The mind has to establish an intent (thought-command) that initiates an electrical activity in the appropriate part of the brain (the motor area controlling that finger in this case), which is then transmitted by electrical nerve impulses through the neurons. These impulses are transmitted from one neuron to another along the appropriate chain through synapses (specialised junctions, or contact points between neurons or nerve cells). At the synapses, the signal transmission can be via direct electrical impulse or chemical neurotransmitters.
Finally, the signals reach the neuro-muscular junction where a whole series of chemical-electrical actions occur, which then causes the muscle to contract. This sequence occurs whenever we move any voluntary muscle.
A simple mental command (often done “without thinking”, when actually, it is a conscious, voluntary command) is all that is necessary to initiate the cascade of chemical-electrical actions that allow us to walk, run, speak, laugh, and do many things to enjoy this experience called Life.
Involuntary muscles move because of similar chemical-electrical actions, except that the process is initiated without conscious command. Various receptors, feed-back mechanisms, emotions, hormones and chemicals influence the workings of involuntary muscles and other automatic systems.
While synaptic signal transmission/communication between neurons has been well understood for a long time, what is poorly understood is ephaptic coupling – the indirect communication within the nervous system through extracellular electric fields, which is known to occur in both the nerve fibres, as well as in the neurons of the brain.
Of course, there are many actions that are automatic, which do not depend on conscious command, otherwise we will all die when we sleep, because we cannot continue to send commands for breathing and for the heart to continue beating in that state.
There are also automatic responses (eg reflex actions) that are meant to be protective, which circumvent conscious decisions and commands. In fact, there are thousands of activities going on inside our body that are not directly under our conscious control.
However, all these autonomous activities are still connected and directed by the (subconscious) mind in some way. The autonomic nervous system, while not always subject to conscious control, is still part of, and dependent on, the commands from the brain. Many yogis and qigong masters have trained their mind to be able to take charge of certain autonomic functions (eg regulation of body temperature).The mind is often on automatic mode. How often have your thoughts wandered when you were supposed to be concentrating on something else? How creative (and often outrageous) are our minds to have scripted and directed the sometimes believable, and sometimes ludicrous, dreams that we all have experienced.

Spain: Must beat team!

MADRID,  (Reuters):  Spain shook off the tag of inveterate also-rans to triumph at Euro 2008 and winning a first World Cup two years later secured them undisputed status as the team to beat in international soccer.
However they will have to re-write soccer’s record books if they are to keep their European title in Poland and Ukraine this summer. No country has ever retained the Henri Delauney trophy and no country, on any continent, has won three major tournaments in a row.
The Iberian nation used to be haunted by the “curse of the quarters” – at the European Championships of 1996 and 2000 and at the World Cups of 1994 and 2002 the last eight had proved a bitter stumbling block.
Fans feared the worst at Euro 2008 when then-world champions Italy battled to a 0-0 draw to force a quarter-final penalty shootout but that was when Spain’s luck changed and Iker Casillas’s saves sent them through.
Released from their jinx and flush with self-belief they swept on to the title and followed up their success in Austria and Switzerland with a less spectacular, but equally efficient, performance to win the World Cup in South Africa.
Under coach Vicente del Bosque, they continue to win plaudits for their slick possession play, attacking flair and solid defence and are firm favourites to become the first nation to win back-to-back continental titles with a World Cup in between.
“Of course we are favourites due to the fact that we are the reigning European and world champions and it seems that is something we can’t shake off,” a smiling Del Bosque said in an interview with Reuters in March.
“But Netherlands and Germany, who were second and third in the World Cup, are also clear favourites, all the more so because of their impeccable Euro 2012 qualifying runs,” the former Real Madrid coach and player added.
“Then you have England, Italy, France, Portugal, they all have excellent players.
“And in these relatively short championships it can happen that any country comes into form and wins it, as happened with Greece in Portugal in 2004.”

Sime Darby FC mencipta sejarah

Pelawanan separuh akhir kedua Piala FA semalam telah mencipta sejarahnya yang tersendiri apabila sebuah kelab yang baru sahaja 3 tahun diuruskan secara profesional berjaya melangkah ke final buat pertama kalinya selepas menyingkirkan juara bertahan Terengganu 'Sang Penyu' FA untuk berdepan dengan pasukan Pahlawan Merah iaitu Kelantan FA yang akan berlangsung pada 19 Mei 2012 ini. Sebelum itu mari kita imbas kembali profil kelab Sime Darby FC ini. Sime Darby FC merupakan sebuah kelab dari Kuala Lumpur yang mendapat sokongan dari konglomerat terkemuka iaitu Sime Darby. Ditubuhkan pada 22 Januari 2010 dan menjuarai Liga FAM pada tahun penubuhannya juga.Hebat bukan?. Tahun 2011 kelab ini menghuni tangga ke-5 keseluruhan dan kini masih lagi bermain dalam Liga Perdana 2012. Sama-samalah kita menanti detik penentuan juara Piala FA yang baru tahun 2012 kerana kedua-dua kelab masih belum mengecapi nikmat menjulang Piala FA.

Review:Novel Kasih antara Kita vs Cinta Buat Emelda

Hari ini aku tersangat boring dan so tak tahu nak post apa lagi. Tetiba je teringat kat cerita Cinta Buat Emelda dalam slot Akasia yang diadaptasi dari sebuah novel bertajuk "Kasih Antara Kita" hasil karya Aleya Aneesa yang semestinya best dan terbaik.Novel ini mengisahkan tentang seorang gadis yang bernama Emelda yang terpaksa berkorban demi menjaga maruah kakaknya, Emira yang telah meninggal dunia kerana barah hati setelah melahirkan sepasang anak kembar perempuan. Emelda terpaksa mengaku yang bayi tersebut adalah anaknya bagi mengelakkan kemarahan keluarga terhadap kakaknya yang di ambang maut. Ini merupakan sinopsis awal novel ini manakala penceritaan dalam drama Cinta buat Emelda pula berbeza. Emelda hanya memiliki seorang anak perempuan sahaja. dan penambahan dari aspek Emeriz yang jiwa kacau sangat dan agak menarik bagi aku.Semestinya ia merupakan adaptasi longgar yang aku rasa ending bagi cerita Cinta buat Emelda pastinya berlainan dari novel asalnya. So bagi peminat darama Cinta buat Emelda kena tunggulah sampai 3hb Mei 2012 untuk mengetahui kesudahan cinta anatara Emelda dan Aril Fatah...chaos!

Casey Stoner strike back!

Casey Stoner telah membuktikan bahawasanya dia merupakan pelumba yang harus disegani dan juara bertahan yang sememangnya berusaha untuk mempertahankan kejuaraan dalam MotoGP yang dimenanginya tahun lalu. Litar Jerez menjadi saksi bahawa dia akan memecah dominasi Jorge Lorenzo. Dengan dipisahkan hanya 4 mata dengan pemdahulu kejuaraan iaitu Jorge Lorenzo dan masih banyak pusingan yang harus diharungi pastinya Casey Stoner akan terus menyerang dan mempertahankan kejuaraan miliknya di penghujung musim.

Bermula di petak kelima tidak menghalang Casey Stoner untuk mengejar Lorenzo dan Pedrosa yang berada dihadapan. Semua tahu sekiranya Stoner berjaya mendahului perlumbaan dia akan fokus kepada pemanduannya dan dia pasti sukar digugat oleh pelumba-pelumba lain.

Penguasaan Tiga orang pelumba ini sememangnya dijangka sengit sehinggan penghujung musim.
