Google’s New App Lets You Share Your Location During Emergencies

Google’s New App Lets You Share Your Location During Emergencies

In an attempt to prevent your mom asks you at what time you get when you go out on Friday night, yes, now you all might be thinking what am I talking about. The tech giant Google launched a new personal safety application that lets you send your location information to a selected user group manually.
So, to help you feel safe and give your friends and family peace of mind, today the tech giant Google launched its own new personal safety application known as “Trusted Contacts”. As we mentioned earlier that it is an application that simply allows users to share their location with their friends or relatives, even if your phone is offline or you can’t get to it. Currently, the application is now available only for Android and it also works without an Internet connection.
If a person has not been reported in several hours and his whereabouts are unknown, a user with permission can see the last location and simply take action. Trusted Contacts can even show the battery that had the phone of the missing person.
In more normal cases, a person may also request you to share your location if you are in a dangerous neighborhood or you are walking alone at night, Google says it “walk together”. Google product manager, David Tattersall said while holding up a phone during a briefing last week “This thing really can be a powerful sensor to make sure you’re okay. We’re actually going to help some people, and potentially save some lives”.
The first thing that you have to to do is allow the app to use your phone’s location. Then, an invitation is sent to users who will be allowed to view the location and they can only see the information once they accept your invitation to join the group of trusted contacts.

Trusted Contact App
Trusted Contact App

The app has only two options: add new contacts or share the location. Therefore the application is very easy to use and fulfill their purpose. The main screen shows the aggregates contacts and the ability to share the location with all contacts or just a specific contact. The app also allows you to send customized alerts for all users or only to a few.
So, if you want to download this safety application from Google, you can simply click here to download it directly from the Google’s official store well known as “Google Play Store” and you download this application for free.
The tech giant Google said nothing about whether the application will reach iOS or not, but, the users of Apple devices already have an app known as Find friends, it works the same way, although the iOS app has more features and receive alerts or hide the location for some people or for some time.

6 things you didn't know about earthworms

6 things you didn't know about earthworms


1. In the UK
We have 29 species of worm in the UK, and 31 including Ireland. A suburban garden is likely to hold about seven or eight different species.
2. Longest UK species
The largest earthworm in Britain is Lumbricus terrestris, which can grow to over 30cm long and is also known as ‘the night crawler’.
3. Longest species in the world
The longest known earthworm in the world, stretching to more than 2m, is the Australian Giant Gippsland earthworm Megascolides australis. Sadly, this giant is listed as a vulnerable species under the The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
4. Where to find them
Earthworms can be found in almost all areas of the globe and in all sorts of habitat: tropical rainforests, on mountains, in the branches of trees, and even in birds' nests. The exception is extreme deserts.
5. Worms can be shiny
Some Asian species, which can sometimes survive as small populations in UK greenhouses, have a beautiful blue green iridescence. These worms can also jump!
Microscolex phosphoreus, which can glow, is occasionally found here - often on golf courses, where it annoys the golfers by producing tiny casts.

Three events that shaped the career of Mira Rai, NatGeo Adventurer of the Year

In November last year, Nepal’s Mira Rai, a former Maoist ‘child soldier’ was nominated by National Geographic for its prestigious ‘Adventurer of the Year’ Award. Rai, who started her trail running career only in December 2014, has come a long way to becoming one of the most successful female Nepali athletes. Her inspiring story has also been told in a recent movie, screened at the Kathmandu International Mountain Film Festival recently.
According to Trail Running Nepal, a website dedicated to promoting trail running in Nepal, in the 22 races, both national and international, she’s participated in, she’s finished outside the fourth place in just one race.
Here we look at three key events that have shaped her trail running career so far:

1.

Expulsion from Maoist army


‘Disqualified’ Maoist fighters protest in Kathmandu
At the age of 14, Mira Rai left her family to join the Maoist army. She was among the 4,000 ‘soldiers’ disqualified from joining the national army after the Comprehensive Peace Agreement was signed between Nepal’s government and the then insurgent Maoist party. After being ‘disqualified’, Rai returned home to Sanodumma, Bhojpur in the eastern hills of Nepal.

2.

Kathmandu days

Following her expulsion from the Maoist Army, Rai decided to try her luck in sports, and came to Kathmandu. She started with kabaddi, a sport she played for some time. In Kathmandu, she trained under coach Dhurba Bikram Malla at a training centre in Balaju, on the outskirts of Kathmandu, alongside Bimala Tamang, who won bronze at the 2014 Asian Games in Korea.

3.

Meeting with the ‘ultra runners’

Just ahead of the 2014 Himalayan Outdoor Festival in March that year, Rai met Krishna and Bhim Gurung, two men who introduced themselves to her as ‘trail runners’. They told her they were looking for female athletes to run the 50km course in Shivapuri. They asked her if she was interested, she decided to join in. She not only won the race, but also caught the eye of Richard Bull, who has been promoting trail running in Nepal. The month after that, she participated in the Mustang Trail Race. Impressed by her abilities, Italian runner Tite Togni suggested that she train in Europe.
She says she was thinking of returning home the day she met the Gurungs. She had spent time in Kathmandu, and was out of money to continue in the city.
Mira Rai, who spent her childhood running up and down the hills of eastern Nepal, now does so in races around the world. NatGeo, in its description of Rai says, “Today the running world recognizes her as a high-elevation trail racing phenom.”

iPhone 8 to be costliest iPhone ever, thanks to its OLED display and iris scanning feature

Costliest iPhone Ever: iPhone 8 to cost upwards of $1000 for featuring OLED display, wireless charging technology, iris scanner

If recent reports are to be believed, Apple’s next device believed to be called iPhone 8 or iPhone X will be its most expensive yet, exceeding the $1,000 (£795) mark for the first time. The price was reportedly leaked to The Fast Company by “a source with knowledge of Apple’s plans”. Apple is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its original iPhone this year.
The iPhone 8 will reportedly sport a 5.8-inch OLED display, which will stretch across the entire face of the smartphone, creating a borderless appearance and larger viewable surface. OLED screens are said to cost considerably more than the LCD panels used in previous iPhones, while an expected memory upgrade would also impact upon the price of the new device, according to the source.
The iPhone 8 will likely be made from stainless steel, with glass panels on both the front and back of the smartphone. The Home Button will be integrated within the display, giving the front of the device the appearance of “a smooth black monolith.” The side buttons may also go away, replaced by touch-sensitive inlays in the metal. The iPhone 8 is expected to have a far bigger battery than the current iPhone 7 lineup, but its exact size remains unclear.
It may also feature 3D-sensing technology, which will bring some sort of facial recognition, better image resolution for the camera app, or some form of augmented reality application. The revamped iPhone 8 will also pack an iris scanner, which would presumably enable iPhone users to unlock their device or use Apple Pay by authenticating with their eyes.
The iPhone 8 is rumored to feature advanced wireless charging technology and improved 3D Touch. Also, the iPhone 8 may be upgraded to an IP68 rating, which means that it can withstand water immersion for over 30 minutes in up to about five feet of water.
The Cupertino giant is also rumored to be launching two other smartphones along with the iPhone 8 – a 4.7-inch (the iPhone 7s) and a 5.5-inch (the iPhone 7s Plus). Both the 5.5-inch model and the 5.8-inch model are believed to be equipped with the same camera used in the iPhone 7 Plus – the dual-lens camera.
While most of the leaks of iPhone 8 are rumors, we recommend you to take these with a pinch of salt, as Apple can change the features and specs in an upcoming phone at any time, even late in the production cycle.
Apple is expected to announce its new smartphones in the fall and begin selling them shortly thereafter, as usual.

Begnas to Thulakot: Close to mountains, just far enough from everything

Somewhere behind the hills girdling the lake there was a village that had stunning views of the mountains we could see in the distance. I heard that from a man who lived near the lake.

Navy-trained dolphins to be used to catch rare porpoises

Navy-trained dolphins to be used to catch rare porpoises


Scientists hope to catch a third of the vaquita population in October 2017 in a bid to protect this Critically Endangered species.  
It is thought that the vaquita population has declined by about 50 per cent in the last few years, and there are only 30 individuals left in the wild. 
The vaquitas will be caught using bottlenose dolphins from the US Navy Marine Mammal Program. 
The dolphins have been trained to seek out and identify vaquitas and their skills have been honed during test runs with harbour porpoises.
“We will try to catch as many as we can,” said Dr Andrew Read from the IUCN Cetacean Specialist Group, “but realistically if we can capture five animals, we would be extremely happy. With only 30 vaquitas remaining, this will be a tall order.”
Vaquitas have never been kept in captivity, so it unknown whether they will be able to successfully breed. 
“There will be both ocean pens and pools on land to assure adequate veterinary care and in case of weather emergencies,” said Dr Barbara Tayler, the IUCN Red List coordinator for the vaquita.
“Expert porpoise veterinarians will be hand to learn the captive needs of vaquitas.”
Endemic to only the northern Gulf of California in Mexico, the vaquita is the world’s smallest porpoise and is often caught in fishermans’ gillnets. 
Their gillnets are used to illegally catch the totoaba, an endangered marine fish. Its swim bladder is used in Chinese medicine.
Recently, there have been increased efforts to tackle this trade and a temporary ban on using gillnets has been imposed in Mexico. 
The vaquita was only discovered in 1958 when Dr Ken Norris found a weathered porpoise skull on a beach and recognised that it was an undescribed species.
