Ways to Think Two Steps Ahead Athletes do it. Chess players do it.

Novelists, successful scientists and even salespeople do it. These days, everyone who wants to make big things happen is planning ahead in order to succeed. What about you? When it comes to planning ahead to reach your goals, are you falling in line or falling behind?

Thinking ahead can help you achieve your goals and, even more importantly, bounce back faster when you're met with unexpected failures or setbacks.

What can you do today to make sure your health and fitness goals are met tomorrow? Maybe you need to pack a lunch to avoid that daily fast food fix, stock your pantry with healthy snacks so you have something to munch on, make a new bedtime routine so you get all the shut-eye you need, or sleep in your workout clothes so you'll have no excuse to miss a morning workout.

Thinking "two steps ahead" means utilizing the present to make it easier to achieve your goals in the future. What are you waiting for? Here's how to do it now, before you waste a few more minutes or lose your motivation altogether.

Think about Your Actions Take some time to envision yourself reaching your long-term goal, whether it's losing 40 pounds, running a 5K, or reducing your cholesterol. All of these big goals can (and should!) be broken down into specific behaviors that will increase your health and wellness.

After winning hearts, Modi ends historic Nepal visit and strategic cooperation between the two neighboring nations that have strong civilization ties. The first Indian premier to make a bilateral visit to Nepal in 17 years, Modi won millions of hearts with his speech in Nepal's parliament that was evident as thousands poured out of their homes spontaneously to bid farewell to the visiting leader as he drove to the airport.

"Mission accomplished, PM India heads home," tweeted external affairs ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin. "Looks like the whole of Kathmandu (is) out to bid (him) farewell." President Ram Baran Yadav and political leaders of all hues hailed Modi for speaking his heart out while outlining his vision of India-Nepal relations."You have won our hearts with your speech in parliament yesterday," the president told Modi during a 15minute meeting, echoing an opinion widely reflected in the Nepalese media too.India and Nepal agreed to "review, adjust and update" their 1950 Treaty of Peace and Friendship and other bilateral agreements, and not to let "unscrupulous elements" misuse their open border.

A joint statement issued at the end of Modi's visit said Nepalese Prime Minister Sushil Koirala would visit India.The four-page statement said KATHMANDU: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi ended a historic talks between Modi and Koirala and their delegations "were held in an two-day Nepal visit on a positive note, urging political leaders to work atmosphere of utmost warmth and cordiality and were marked by deep together for a new constitution and stressing the need for greater economic friendship and understanding".

Obama: 'Russia doesn't make anything, Infosys' new CEO Sikka says to improve business with new growth avenues ' West must be firm with China

WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama dismissed Russia as a nation that "doesn't make anything" and said in an interview with the Economist magazine that the West needs to be "pretty firm" with China as Beijing pushes to expand its role in the world economy. Obama has tried to focus U.S. foreign policy on Asia, a response to China's economic and military might. But for months, that "pivot" has been overshadowed by a flurry of international crises, including Russia's support for separatists in eastern Ukraine. Russia is the world's third-largest oil producer and second-largest natural gas producer. Europe relies heavily o n R u s s i a n e n e rg y e x p o r t s ,

complicating the West's response to the Ukraine crisis. Obama downplayed Moscow's role in the world, dismissing President Vladimir Putin as a leader causing short-term trouble for political gain that will hurt Russia in the long term. "I do think it's important to keep perspective. Russia doesn't make anything," Obama said in the interview. "Immigrants aren't rushing to Moscow in search of opportunity. The life expectancy of the Russian male is around 60 years old. The population is shrinking," he said. Obama told Putin last week that he believes Russia violated the 1988 Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces treaty designed to eliminate groundlaunched cruise missiles. Speaking of Russia's "regional challenges," Obama said in the interview: "We have to make sure that they don't escalate where suddenly nuclear weapons are back in the discussion of foreign policy." Obama described U.S. tensions with China as "manageable."

REUTERS - Infosys Ltd (INFY.NS) will improve its business by looking for new growth avenues and will return to h i s t o r i c a l performance levels in two years, top executives said.

Vishal Sikka, the 47-year-old

former executive board member of German software company SAP AG (SAPG.DE), took charge of India's secondbiggest IT services provider as Chief Executive. Sikka starts with an almost clean administrative slate as founding members have given way in the hope of getting fresh blood into a hitherto conservative c o m p a n y. C h i e f Operating Officer UB Pravin Rao said the company will be back to historic performance levels in a couple of years.

Andhra to develop mega IT hub at Vizag HYDERABAD: The Andhra P r a d e s h government decided to develop a mega Information Technology hub in Vi s a k h a p a t n a m , also known as Vizag. This was envisaged in the IT policy 2014-2020 approved by the state cabinet at its meeting, chaired by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu. The cabinet also decided to develop metro rail project in the coastal city. IT Minister P. Raghunath Reddy said IT hubs would be created at Vijayawada, Kakinada, Tirupati and Anantapur with walk to work and cycle to work concepts. Describing it as the most progressive and investorfriendly policy, he said it would focus on enhancement of quality technical education with updation of syllabus in the technical institutes to meet the industry standards. The government will develop IT towers, IT parks and IT zones under Public Private

Partnership (PPP) mode. The government proposes development of Information Technology and Investment Regions (ITIRs) in Visakhapatnam and Tirupati initially.

The Tirupati-Anantapur corridor will be proposed at a later phase.

Describing mega projects as those which can create employment of 5,000 or more in five years, the policy offered a rebate on the cost of the land to them at Rs.60,000 per employee.

Other IT projects will get a rebate of Rs.40,000 per employee. Those setting up operations in leased premises will get rental subsidy of Rs.10 per square foot per month for three years. A highly empowered single window clearance is proposed for granting approvals and clearances with centralized help desk on 24x7 basis to reduce time and cost to set up business.

Bill Gates recently revealed that his favorite business book was "Business Adventures," a 1969 collection of New Yorker articles by John Brooks that illustrate the formation of the modern American corporation. Gates says he asked Warren Buffett back in 1991 what his favorite business book was, and Buffett responded by sending his personal copy of "Business Adventures." Gates fell in love with the storytelling. He writes: Brooks's work is a great reminder that the rules for running a strong business and creating value haven't changed. For one thing, there's an essential human factor in every business endeavor. It doesn't matter if you have a perfect product, production plan and marketing pitch; you'll still need the right people to lead and implement those plans. We've gone through "Business Adventures" and highlighted some of its key lessons that are still applicable today:Innovators need to keep innovating. Gates writes that one of the most instructive stories in the book, especially when taken in a historical context, is the article with his favorite title, "Xerox Xerox Xerox Xerox." Brooks chronicles how Xerox recruited researchers to develop the product that would replace the mimeograph machine and change how offices worked around the world. After the Xerox 914 hit the mass market in 1960, "xeroxing" a document soon became office parlance.

Five years later, Xerox brought in $500 million in revenue. Move a few years into the future, beyond Brooks' account, and you'll find that Xerox's leadership became comfortable resting on its laurels. This attitude would eventually lead to huge losses in the late 1970s as competitors started releasing their own photocopiers.

Gates explains how this could have been avoided: Starting in the early '70s, Xerox funded a huge amount of R&D that wasn't directly related to copiers, including research that led to Ethernet networks and the first graphical user interface (the look you know today as Windows or OS X).

But because Xerox executives didn't think these ideas fit their core business, they chose not to turn them into marketable products. Others stepped in and went to market with products based on the research that Xerox had done. Both Apple and Microsoft, for example, drew on Xerox's work on graphical user interfaces.

I know I'm not alone in seeing this decision as a mistake on Xerox's part. I was certainly determined to avoid it at Microsoft. I pushed hard to make sure that we kept thinking big about the opportunities created by our research in areas like computer vision and speech recognition. Don't release a product before it's ready. Xerox's initial success is important to look at, as well. Joseph C. Wilson, the company's founder, inherited The Haloid Photographic Company in the late 1940s. After learning of the physicist Chester Carlson's invention of an electronic printing machine, he made an agreement with Carlson and decided that his company's future was in finding a way to turn the experiment into an easy-to-use office tool.

U.S. anthrax probe MSME Ministry, Samsung to set up Micromax pips Samsung as India's leading mobile phone brand - research reveals new bird ten technical schools across India MUMBAI: Indian budget industry leader Qualcomm Inc, training programmes. I hope that this smartphone maker Micromax and outsource production to flu mishap joint initiative of Ministry of MSME has ousted Samsung Electronics China and Taiwan, instead of Federal health officials on Friday disclosed a new safety breach at a high-security U.S. government laboratory involving dangerous avian flu, a lapse that came to light as they investigated the potential exposure of researchers to live anthrax bacteria.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said an internal probe found multiple failures by individual scientists and a lack of agency-wide safety policies led to the potential exposure of more than 80 lab workers to live anthrax at its Atlanta campus last month.

Researchers in a high-security bioterror lab sent samples of what they thought were inactivated bacteria to colleagues in a lower-security lab, with fewer protections.

Investigators also discovered a previously unreported incident: Workers at a separate highsecurity CDC influenza lab sent samples containing a dangerous strain of bird flu to counterparts at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in March.

Mishandling avian flu could have far graver consequences than anthrax does, though no one has been found to have been infected in either case.

The two incidents represent the latest in a series of breaches at the CDC in the last decade that are drawing fresh scrutiny from Congress, including questions about the agency's ability to oversee potentially dangerous research. The CDC said its findings provide a "wake-up call" to overhaul the standards governing experiments with deadly pathogens nationwide.

NEW DELHI: The Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) and Samsung announced a partnership to set up ten technical schools in MSME technology centres across India. The schools will be set up in Delhi, Ahmedabad, Aurangabad, Bhubaneswar, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ludhiana, Mumbai and Varanasi. Speaking on the occasion the Minister of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, Kalraj Mishra, said, "The MSME sector employs maximum number of people in India next to Agriculture and to meet skilled manpower requirement in the sector, the Ministry of MSME is committed to create industry responsive manpower by giving thrust on employable skills and vocational training in partnership with Industry." "Various field establishments under the Ministry are regularly conducting skill development

and Samsung would be able to train approx. 10,000 youth per year who would have the opportunity to find placement in various appliances manufacturing organizations including Samsung," he added. "I also believe that many of them can also establish their own enterprise and Service Centre for repairing and maintenance of electrical and electronics goods," Mishra said.

B.D. Park, President and CEO South West Asia, Samsung Electronics said, "India is a key growth market for global consumer electronics manufacturing which lends itself to enormous employment opportunity." "As an Industry leader, Samsung is committed to working with the Indian Government to tap this potential. Our collaboration with the Ministry of MSME to create a pool of skilled workforce through the MSME - Samsung technical school is a step in this direction," he added. "We are confident that through the Samsung A.R.I.S.E.2 program, students will get hands-on experience that will make them an asset to the Industry," Park said further. The partnership will provide a boost to trainees by incorporating a strong component of hands-on Industry training.

Co Ltd as the leading brand in all types of mobile phones in the April-June quarter, grabbing a 16.6 percent market share, a recent research report showed.

Samsung had 14.4 percent market share, down from 16.3 percent in the f i r s t q u a r t e r, said the report by Counterpoint Research. In the smartphone segment, however, Samsung still came out tops.

"Micromax is leveraging its wider distribution reach, growing brand awareness not only in urban but in rural India w i t h a ff o r d a b l e l o w - c o s t handsets," said Counterpoint analyst Neil Shah.

In price sensitive India, local mobile phone makers like Micromax are successfully gaining market share with low cost phones.These companies mostly use chipsets made by MediaTek, which tend to be cheaper than those made by

Now, power-free Wi-Fi connectivity near you WASHINGTON: How about a world where you do not require power to access your smartphone or tablet or even an eye-wearable device like Google Glass? Led by an Indianorigin engineer, a team at University of Washington has designed a unique communication system that uses radio frequency signals as a power source and reuses existing Wi-Fi infrastructure to provide internet connectivity to these devices.

Called Wi-Fi backscatter, this technology is the first that can connect battery-free devices to Wi-Fi infrastructure. "If 'internet of things' devices are going to take off, we must provide connectivity to the potentially billions of battery-free devices that will be embedded in everyday objects," said Shyam Gollakota, an assistant professor of computer science and engineering at University of Washington. We now have the ability to enable Wi-Fi connectivity for devices while consuming orders of magnitude less power than what Wi-Fi typically requires, he added. This work builds upon previous research that showed how low-powered devices such as temperature sensors or wearable technology could run without batteries or cords by harnessing energy from existing radio, TV and wireless signals in the air. This work takes a step further by connecting each individual device to the internet, which previously was not possible.The researchers developed an ultra-low power tag prototype with an antenna and circuitry that can talk to Wi-Fi-enabled laptops or smartphones while consuming negligible power. These tags work by essentially "looking" for Wi-Fi signals moving between the router and a laptop or smartphone. They encode data by either reflecting or not reflecting the Wi-Fi router's signals, slightly changing the wireless signal. "Wi-Fi-enabled devices like laptops and smartphones would detect these minute changes and receive data from the tag," Gollakota said. In this way, your "smart" watch could download e-mails or offload your workout data onto a Google spreadsheet.

investing in manufacturing plants, further helping keep costs down.

Together, local Indian mobile phone manufacturers had about 32 percent of the domestic market, according to the report, and more than twothirds of the total shipment s.

In the smartphone segment, Samsung still had the largest market share in terms of shipments, at 25.3 percent during the second quarter while Micromax had 19.1 percent.

But Samsung's dominance is slipping, Shah said, adding that in the first quarter, Samsung had a 33.3 percent market share in smartphones, while Micromax had 16.7 percent.

India ranks behind China and the United States in smartphone sales, with up to 90 million smartphones expected to be sold there this year, according to Counterpoint.
