Xiaomi, a Chinese hardware company, has become Middle East’s largest smartphone seller company. It gradually got hold of the entire cell phone market of Samsung. According to reports, the CEO of this company, Lei Jun is known as the Steve Jobs of China.

Jing Wang, a Shangai based Canalys Research Analyst said that this much revenue generating in the Middle East is a great accomplishment for Lei Jun. No doubt, the success which Xiaomi achieved recently is only possible because of the other conditions. The low performance of Samsung throughout the quarter make it more easier for Xiaomi to take the direction of the entire Middle East market. The vital role in this success is played by the alteration in the design and rates of  Xiamoi’s smart phones.

 

This year Xiaomi sold almost 14 percent of the smartphones dispatched to the Middle East in the second quarter. This is approximately 5 percent more than the amount of smart phones they put on the market in the first quarter. All of this demonstrates that at present the company’s growth rate is 240 percent.

There are several other things which this company manufactures for instance televisions, routers and rather dangerously named Mi pad fodleslab. Xiaomi will soon turn out to be the number one company of China through its fastest selling growth of the cell phones.

A survey has been done by the University of Sussex which is printed in the journal Current Biology. It proved that horses can easily distinguish the facial expression as well as their ear and eye movements. This sense of horses helps them in saving themselves from the predators. People usually think that creatures who have eyes on the side of their faces can’t see what other animals are doing. This research has completely rejected this idea.

Previously, the researchers focused on the signals which a deaf human being observes in its surroundings. This time examiner monitors the horses and found out that even the ear position of another horse is also a very important sign for a horse. Moreover, they stated that for the horse’s head direction comes after the position of eye and ear.

In order to execute this experiment, the researchers arranged all life size pictures of horses to record the reaction of other behavioral horses. The result demonstrates that horses assist each other with their gaze in contemplation of food. When the researchers utilize a particular part of that animal, then the horses which were under observation could not find anything.

Several animals are able to rotate their ears almost 180 degrees and horses are one of them. According to BBC, before this research, human used a narrow perspective during the study of communication in horses therefore, they failed to spot these fundamental factors.

ASA Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution mission take off  from Cape Canaveral Air Force station located in Florida.  It will reach the planet till 8 p.m MDT sept 21 2014. This missionary began last year in 18 Novemeber and scientists  are expecting this mission to cease in a year’s time.

According to Bruce Jakosky, principal investigator on the mission, presently the spacecraft is functioning perfectly and they are not facing any sort of troubles. Furthermore, he said that they want 1.5 months, to develop themselves, before the entry of the spaceship on the planet.

 

Scientists would be capable to present a report long after the entrance of  MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution mission). In that report they will provide some insight about the atmosphere of the higher partion of the planet and how the spaceship reacted with the sun and solar wind. This minor experiment will tell them how much gas spaceship utilized during this time period.

The primary purpose of this research is to figure out where the water and carbon dioxide went since it was present in the atmosphere earlier. Therefore, they constructed this instrument with a remote sensing package designed by LASP which will find out the characteristics of the Martian upper atmosphere and ionsphere.

On this journey MAVEN will come into contact with a celestial interloper. The interloper is known as comet Siding Spring and it was invented in Australia in January 2013

Recently, China has declared that its planning to ban the foreign security vendors to sell their products to government agencies. Symantec crop, a security software maker company, denied this news. The company is persistently that, it’s still on the list of anti-virus vendor suppliers of China

Corning Inc. freely donates $1.8 million for an amazing space telescope project that is hoped to be launched into great action and service in the middle of the 2020s. BoldlyGo Institute, a non-profit unit, hopes that Astro-1 will be on space service by mid-2020s.

This fabulous project is well-supported by Corning Inc. as Jon Morse, the CEO of BoldlyGo Institute have observed. He said that this donation became a great step forwards in their efforts to raise for this highly expensive project. Corning’s donation was primarily used for the 6 feet diameter of the primary mirror of the said telescope.

 

Morse, a former director of astrophysics at NASA headquarters that Corning Inc. Has indeed made BoldlyGo to stay more active in seeking funds to sustain its higher technological innovative project that will even surpass the Hubble Space Telescope’s performance and durability for up to 10 times. He is hoping that this project won’t go beyond $1 billion and as he sees it, sources would mainly come from private funding to maintain the project’s proposed quality and integrity.

It can be recalled that BoldlyGo Institute was being founded just last year with its aim to increase space science missions with private funding. Astro-1 is expected to aid in the study of the Milky Way’s neighboring galaxies together with the planets that orbit around nearby stars. BoldlyGo Institute even hopes to sponsor unmanned mission to Mars.

On record, the $1.8M worth of components from Corning were actually intended for a certain NASA program. However, it was cancelled so Corning decided to use it for BoldlyGo Institute’s project. Corning Inc. is well-noted for its major contributions in various NASA projects including the primary mirror for the Hubble Space Telescope, the International Space Station and the NASA’s manned spacecraft missions.

With all the doom and gloom the world is plunged into, here is some light news which may stimulate some humor. Microsoft has attempted to go after Apple in its latest advertisement, comparing Cortana against Siri. Cortana is a digital voice assistant like Siri. The advert shows a husband asking Cortana to help him with the anniversary plans. In the ad, Cortana obliges adequately while Siri is unable to do the job.

The slight to Apple in the ad in through the repeated comparisons between the two voice assistants and Siri constantly being “unable to help.”

In the end Cortana automatically gives the husband a traffic alert while Siri finishes by admiring Cortana. This is certainly not the first time Microsoft has made fun of Apple in an ad and it also isn’t the first time Cortana has proves its worth against Siri, considering the disparity between the score predictions of the World Cup between the two softwares, with Cortana’s predictions being more accurate.

A new study by the National Forrest Service has shown that trees save approximately eight hundred and fifty (850) lives on a yearly basis. According to the study, they do so by removing pollution from the air.

The study has shown that trees remove certain chemicals – such as carbon dioxide – from the air, thus preventing illness or even death in other, carbon based life forms, such as humans. Aside from the eight hundred and fifty lives that they save each year, trees have also been shown to help people with acute respiratory distress – which affects over six hundred and seventy thousand people per year.

Certain gases – most notably Nitrogen, Ozone, Sulfur Dioxide and Nitrogen Dioxide – have been linked to several diseases, but, as the study shows, trees are able to suck up a certain amount of these gases and exhaling gases that are more useful to humans, most notably oxygen.

While eight hundred and fifty lives may not seem like a lot, but if the prevention of respiratory problems and they alleviation of many other breathing related illnesses are taken into account, trees save the economy a staggering seven billion dollars in health care costs every year.

The study also went on to note that where trees are placed has a significant effect on the removal of pollution, as well as the effect that this will end up having on the health of people. According to the report:

“In terms of impact on human health, trees in urban areas are substantially more important than rural trees due to their proximity to people. We found that in general, the greater the tree cover, the greater the pollution removal, and the greater the removal and population density, the greater the value of human health benefits.”
