Dell Launches New Range of Latitude Laptops in India
Dell on Wednesday took the wraps off its range of Windows 10 Pro-running Latitude laptops and 2-in-1 devices in India starting from Rs. 44,999. While the highlight of the launch event were the Dell Latitude 13 (7370) Ultrabook and the Latitude 12 (7270) detachable notebook, the company also showcased its revamped Latitude 3000 and Latitude 5000 series.[sc:afterFooterAd]
The Dell Latitude 13 (7370) 7000 Series Ultrabook (seen above), the company claims, is the world's smallest 13-inch business class Ultrabook and is mainly for on-the-go users. The USP of the laptop is its 13.3-inch Infinity Edge display, which we first saw with the company's XPS line of laptops. It will be available in full-HD resolution non-touch and QHD+ resolution Touch display variants.
Besides the ultrathin display, the laptop's outer shell is built using 40ton carbon fiber making it durable. Some of the connectivity features carried by the Latitude 13 7370 include USB Type-C ports, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v4.1, Micro-USB 3.0 with support for Thunderbolt 3, 4G LTE support, microSD card reader, and Micr-SIM card slot. As for the security, users get a smartcard reader, fingerprint reader, and RFID reader, apart from security and encryption software.
The laptop can be customised with up to 16GB LPDDR3 RAM, sixth generation Intel Core m7, and up to 512GB SED SSD storage. Also included is a HD video webcam. The Latitude 13 (7370) will be available starting April and will come with a starting price of Rs. 79,999.
The Dell Latitude 12 (7275) 7000 Series 2-in-1 (seen above) is claimed by Dell as the lightest 12.5-inch 2-in-1 device. Since the device sports a 2-in-1 design, it uses a magnetic latch to lock both the keyboard and the tablet together instead of using latches and alignment pins. It comes with two keyboard options. While the Dell Latitude 12 Slim Keyboard is a full-size backlit keyboard, the Dell Latitude 12 Premium keyboard is lightweight, has backlit functionality and additionally includes mouse cursor control along with a gesture touchpad.
The Latitude 12 (7275)'s 12.5-inch display comes in full-HD touch and UHD Touch variants and are 8mm thin with Corning Gorilla Glass NBT protection. It features a magnesium unibody build. It also comes in Intel Core m3, Core m5, and Core m7 processor options and can take up to 8GB of RAM. Also featured are an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. It will be hitting the shelves this month starting at Rs. 87,999.
Dell says the Latitude 11 (5175) 5000 series (seen above) is already up for grabs starting at Rs. 59,999. The 2-in-1 device features 10.8-inch full-HD touch display with corning Gorilla Glass protection. It can be customised with sixth Generation Intel Core m3 or Core m5 processors and with up to 8GB of LPDDR3 SDRAM. The Latitude 11 5175 device can take up to 512GB SSD SATA storage, features 8-megapixel rear and 5-megapixel front-facing camera. As for connectivity, the device sports a USB 3.0 port, Type-A Micro-USB 3.0, Micro-HDMI, SD memory card reader, and SIM card slot. In the wireless connectivity department, the device houses Wi-Fi, Miracast, NFC, 4G LTE support, and Bluetooth v4.1.
The company at the event also put on display its Latitude E5570, Latitude E5470, and Latitude E3470 laptops and notebooks among others. Two monitors namely Dell UltraSharp 27 Monitor UP2716D and the Dell UltraSharp 27 Ultra HD 5K UP2715K were also showcased. All the laptops are compatible with Dell Dock (seen below) and Dell Thunderbolt Dock accessories. Dell says its ProSupport Plus support service also covers the aforementioned Latitude range of laptops.
"The Latitude brand has created a niche for itself among the business users by delivering seamless technology experiences. We are very excited to be launching the new Latitude range for the Indian market. Latitude devices bring together an amalgamation of mobility, increased productivity and a unique element of style, while also complying with the security and manageability requirements of an organization. Dell peered into the varied requirements of all sorts of users, from a multitude of work environments, so we could understand and address the unique and changing computing needs of business users. The new Latitude range highlights the evolution the brand has undergone, focusing not just on performance but also on design and user appeal," said Indrajit Belgundi, Director & General Manager, Client Solutions Group, Dell India. //

हेल्थ डेस्क। थाइरॉइड को साइलेंट किलर माना जाता है, क्योंकि इस डिजीज के लक्षण बहुत धीरे-धीरे पता चलते हैं। दरअसल, थाइरॉइड हमारी बॉडी में पाई जाने वाली एंडोक्राइन ग्लैंड में से एक है। गले में मौजूद तितली जैसे आकार वाली यह ग्लैंड थायरॉक्सिन हॉर्मोन बनाती है, जो हमारी बॉडी की ऊर्जा खर्च करने की क्षमता और कई फंक्शन्स पर असर डालता है।
क्या हैं थायरॉइड से जुड़ी प्रॉब्लम...
आयुर्वेदाचार्य डॉ. गायत्री तैलंगका कहना है, थाइरॉइड ग्लैंड के ठीक से काम न करने पर पेशेंट को कई तरह की हेल्थ प्रॉब्लम्स का सामना करना पड़ता है। ऐसे में बॉडी सही तरह से ऊर्जा खर्च नहीं कर पाती, तो तेजी से वजन बढ़ने (हाइपोथाइरॉडिज्म) या घटने (हाइपरथाइरॉडिज्म) लगता है। साथ ही पेशेंट के हार्ट, मसल्स, हड्डियों पर भी इसका बुरा असर पड़ता है।

“A new study has shown for the first time how limonoids, natural compounds present in lemons and other citrus fruit, impede both ER+ and ER- breast cancer cell growth. This sheds new light on the importance of citrus fruit for breast cancer prevention and supports past studies which showed fruit consumption may lower breast cancer risk.” All kinds of people are saying that the entire lemon should be used with nothing wasted. Not only for the obvious health benefits but also for the amazing taste! How? Simple, take an ORGANIC lemon, wash it and then put it in the freezer. Once it is frozen you get whatever is necessary to grate or shred the whole lemon without even peeling it first.
Then sprinkle it on your salad, ice cream, soup, cereals, noodles, spaghetti sauce, or whatever. No holds barred. What you will experience is that whatever you sprinkle it on will take on a taste you may never have experienced before. Why would I do this? Because the lemon peel contains 5 to 10 times more vitamins than the lemon juice itself and the peel is the part that is usually wasted. Not only that, but the peel helps to get rid of toxins in the body. But wait, there's more. Lemon is effective in killing cancer cells because it is allegedly 10,000 stronger than chemotherapy. This has not been revealed because there are people out there that want to make a synthetic, toxic version that will bring them huge profits. Shades of Monsanto. The good news is that the taste of lemon is pleasant and does not deliver the horrific effects of chemotherapy. What's bizarre is that people are closely guarding this fact so as to not jeopardize the income to those that profit from other's illnesses. Another interesting aspect of the lemon is that it has a remarkable effect on cysts and tumors. Some say the lemon is a proven remedy against all types of cancer. It doesn't end there. It has an anti-microbial effect against bacterial infections and fungi; it is effective against internal parasites and worms; it regulates blood pressure, which is too high; it acts as an anti-depressant; it combats stress and nervous disorders. The source of this information, although not specifically named, is one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world. They further say that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that it destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas and that the compounds of the lemon tree were 10,000 times more effective than the product Adriamycin, which is a drug normally used chemotherapeutically in the world to slow the growth of cancer cells. Even more, this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and does not affect healthy cells. The process is simple: buy an ORGANIC lemon, wash it, freeze it, grate it, and put it on everything you eat.
It's not rocket science. Nature has put stuff on the planet to keep the body healthy. The corporations hide this information and create synthetics to treat disease. The synthetic chemical creates other symptoms from its ingestion requiring another drug to combat these symptoms. And so the cycle continues, which equates to enormous profits coming from an overt intention to keep a body ill and suppressing natural healing foods, minerals and modalities, all withheld by the mainstream media to not jeopardize their advertising dollar income, and payoffs to the politicians to not pass laws that will greatly benefit the people. If we do not take responsibility for ourselves and go against the mainstream grain, we will inevitably remain a “trick” our whole life. Aloha![sc:afterFooterAd] //
Mallya blames media for spoiling reputation, seeks to clarify why Kingfisher failed
Bengaluru: In a damage control exercise, beleaguered industrialist Vijay Mallya on Sunday blamed media for spoiling his reputation and sought to clarify why his dream airline Kingfisher failed.
“The past few days have witnessed a near hysterical campaign in the media directed against me,” the 60-year-old flamboyant tycoon said in a statement here.
Accusing media of indulging in sensationalism, he said he felt the time had come to clarify his position in order to avoid relentless attack on his reputation.
“I have always lived an honourable life and the calumny notwithstanding, shall continue to do so. As to the allegations in media, all I can say is I hope some sobriety and sense will prevail and truth not held a hostage to TRPs.”
Recalling that Kingfisher was launched in 2005 on the basis of viable business plan vetted by SBI Capital Markets and international aviation consultants, Mallya admitted that despite every effort, the airline was an unfortunate commercial failure caused by macro-economic factors and then government policies.
“The truth about Kingfisher Airlines and its financial stress due to external factors has been reported by State Bank of India (SBI) to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in their letter dated 31st January 2012,” he said in the statement.
Mallya’s statement comes ahead of the Debt Recovery Tribunal’s order on the four interlocutory applications (IAs) the SBI moved on March 2, seeking his arrest, impounding his passport, disclosure of his assets in India and abroad and first claim to the $75 million deal he had signed with British liquor major Diageo plc on February 25 for resigning as chairman of its Indian arm United Spirits Ltd (USL). The tycoon also said he would move to Britain to be with his family.
When the tribunal reserved its order on Friday and posted next hearing to Monday, the SBI filed a writ petition in the Karnataka High Court as a lead bank of a consortium of banks, seeking same relief it sought from the tribunal. On this, the court issued notice to Mallya and others for response by this week.
A consortium of 17 state-run and private banks loaned funds of Rs.7,800 crore to Kingfisher, a public firm, but these loans were secured by blue chip securities.
After the airline’s closure in 2012, the banks and their assignees recovered an aggregate of Rs.1,244 crore from sale of pledged shares since April 2013, he said.
In addition, an aggregate of Rs.600 crore is lying deposited in the Karnataka High Court since July 2013 and Rs.650 crore of United Breweries Holdings has been deposited there since early 2014, being sums realised from proceeds received by the UB Holdings from sale of shares in United Spirits to Diageo in July 2013.
“Thus, the aggregate cash recovery/security available is Rs.2,494 crore,” Mallya claimed in the statement.
Observing that a disinformation campaign had made him a poster boy of all banks’ NPAs (non-performing assets) despite pledging blue chip securities and depositing unspecified amounts in court, Mallya said banks have NPAs of Rs.11 lakh crore and borrowers owe much more than Kingfisher.
“None of these large borrowers have been declared wilful defaulters, but unfortunately, UB Holdings and I have been declared wilful defaulters by certain banks on technical grounds. I have legally challenged these declarations,” he said.
Clarifying all inquiries found no evidence of misappropriation of funds by his defunct airline or himself, he said hence allegations and innuendo to this effect were false.
“My group invested Rs 4,000 crore into the airline which stands impaired – it is not as though it is only the bank debt that has suffered. Banks will recover a substantial part of their debt – my groups loss is permanent,” Mallya noted.
Lamenting for being painted as an absconder, Mallya said he had been a non-resident for around 28 years and the RBI had acknowledged this in writing.
“Over the years, I have built businesses in India and abroad. I am also honoured to be a member of the Rajya Sabha (from Karnataka for the second time),” he added./*/[sc:afterFooterAd]
