Apple certainly knows how to make the most out of a good design or technology, integrating it into various devices. Take for example the one button interface of the iPhone, and how it came to the iPad and iPod Touch. Another example would be its iOS operating system, which allows for a expansive variety of apps across platforms. Now, some of Apple's latest iPhone 4 technology, i.e., Retina Display and front & rear-facing cameras, are rumoured to be making their appearance in the next iteration of the iPod Touch. Whether the front-facing camera is meant for FaceTime video calling or not is still unkown, but certainly a possibility as it works over WiFi, something the iPod Touch supports. The new iPod Touch will supposedly be on shelves in just a few weeks time, and these latest juicy morsels of information about it were benevolently provided by Daring Fireball's John Gruber, a man who's Apple predictions are usually right on the money.

WAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA WAHEGURU JI KI FATEH
"How did you get that black eye?" asked Guru-Father, GurDev-Pita Gobind Singh Jee. The teenager dressed in a long blue gown, wearing a sword looked at his Master's feet and responded with silence.
The King of this World and the next, radiated glory in all directions and the lovelight washed over the quiet young man, "Dear child of mine, your turban has been knocked, your nose is bleeding and you have a black eye. Now you don't get that from just cleaning the stables. So I order you to tell me who did this to you?"
The slender young warrior continued looking lovingly at the Master's feet and humbly replied, 'I was feeding the horses Guru jee when you suddenly slapped me.'
The Khalsa warrior who had brought the young Singh in to Guru Jee's royal court quickly interrupted, 'O Guru with the Royal Plume Kalgee-Dhar Patshah, True King and Cherisher of the Poor, Gareeb Nivaaj, this saintly boy will not tell you, but I saw that mighty Singh over there just walk across to the boy and without even uttering a word he swung his arm with full force landing his palm on the boy's right cheek. Guru Maharaj forgive my younger brother for his answer , he is not lying for he sees your face in everyface, everywhere and all the time. He speaks little and is always engrossed in service and meditation, seva and simran. He was attacked for no reason, that is why I dragged him here to get some justice. He did not want to complain.'
Some warrior Nihangs dressed in blue battle clothes, grabbed the Singh accused of the attack and escorted him into Guru King Guru Gobind Singh Jee's divine prescence.
'Explain your actions.' ordered the Helper from Waheguru, Nasaro Mansoor Guru Gobind Singh Jee.
The Singh was built like a mountain with an ego to match he replied in rough voice 'Guru Jee, this boy is half my age, everyday he does seva and simran, he speaks little and when he does its full of love and humility. I can't stand him. Everyday I do seva along side him, I see how much you love him and bless him, wereas I get no look of grace. He was getting too close to you and I hate him. I had to teach him a lesson!'
Guru Gobind Singh Jee reprimanded the Singh and gave him some community service to do, then he got up and hugged the young Singh who was still looking at the Master's feet, 'Dhan GurSikh, Great is the GurSikh who even in suffering accepts it as a divine gift.'
Ketia Dukh Bukh saad mar. Eh Bhee Daat Teree Datar. Countless many continously suffer pain and hunger. O Giver, Even these are Your Gifts' (Guru Nanak Dev Jee in Jap Jee Sahib).

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh
Once when Baba Bulleh Shah was sitting on the bank of a river he saw a lady selling carrots. People who were hungry would come to her stall and begin to pick what they regarded as the best looking carrots. The lady seeing this would tell her prospective customers that she only sold carrots in bulk and not individually. All the customers that Baba Bulleh Shah observed that day had to buy a box of carrots containing some good ones, some bad ones and some rotten ones.
After a while a man came to her stall and asked her for some carrots. To Baba Bulleh Shah’s amazement this time the lady herself began to pick out the best carrots to give to the man. When this man had left Baba Bulleh Shah decided to approach the lady to find out why she had such double standards. The lady on being questioned by Baba Bulleh Shah said, ‘That man is my husband and as such no accounts are kept between us’.
When Baba Bulleh Shah heard what the lady said he began to think to himself, what is the point of carrying a rosary? He threw it away and from that day all counting stopped between Baba Bulleh Shah and Akaal Purakh.

In the time of Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Jee, there was a Gursikh who lived in a poor little hut. This Gursikh was blind and had a lot of Pyaar for Guru Ji. As he couldn't travel anywhere he would ask people to go to see Guru Ji and then wait for there return to hear of Guru Jis well being. He would ask them what does my Guru Ji look like, How brave is he, what weapons does he keep, what stories does he tell, and each would reply "I cannot explain with words."
One night he could not sleep, he kept thinking of Guru Ji and how wonderful he was. He longed so much to see the beautiful Mukh of Guru Maharaaj. He could not take it any longer he felt angered at himself.
"Guru Ji, I am such a dirty sinner, I am unworthy of your darshan. I do not know what countless sins I have committed for me to suffer without you."
At this moment Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji awoke from his Samadhi, he told some Sikhs to get the horses ready as he had to go somewhere urgently.
The blind Gursikh started to cry, he felt angry at himself for being blind, he tore his hut apart throwing things and cursing himself. he wanted to kill himself. He wanted too go to see Guru Ji. He ran out of the hut and just ran into the misty dark distance. he tripped and fell , he hurt himself pretty badly. he was bleeding. he started to cry and thought only of Guru Ji.
"Guru Ji, Guru Ji! Guru Ji! Guru Ji! Guru Ji! Guru Ji!" he cried continuously calling out for Guru Ji.
Suddenly he felt two strong arms lift him to his feet, and he heard a beautiful strong voice
"I have come my beloved"
"Guru Ji, is it really you, but how come you have come"
This is what Guru Ji said..."Beloved, I could not sleep without doing your darshan, I felt your heart pulling me towards you and I could not survive"
When the Blind Sikh heard this he fell to Guru Jis feet and cried so much he could not contain himself. Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji again lifted him and said
"the home of Guru Nanak Contains everything ask of it what you will"
The Sikh replied "Guru Ji all that I ask of is, that my eyes may work so I can do your Darshan"
Guru Ji smiled and kissed both of his eyes. When the Sikh opened his eyes he again fell to Guru Ji's feet on seeing him and could not help himself and could only cry. he wept at Guru Jis feet and kept doing his Darshan. He could not even imagined such a beautiful guru. he just kept staring at Guru Ji. Guru Jee then said
"beloved I must go now, it is amrit vela and the Sangat will be waiting" the Sikh begged Guru Ji to stay longer...
"Guru ji, I cannot live without your Darshan now, what will I do" Guru Ji Smiled again and said
"the house of Guru Nanak again offers what you ask of it, one more thing"
The Sikh fell to the floor in dandaut, stretched out with arms towards Guru Ji and said "Guru Ji if you are going to give me one more thing then take these eyes away as I wish not to see anything ever again besides your darshan."
A tear dropped down Guru Ji's cheek as he granted the final wish.
JOU PRANI JAL BIN HA MARTA, TEO SIKH GUR BIN MARR JAYEE
I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to my Guru; falling at His Feet, I surrender to the Saintly Guru. Poor Nanak has gone insane, longing for the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan. Even in violent storms and torrential rain, I go out to catch a glimpse of my Guru. Even though the oceans and the salty seas are very vast, the GurSikh will cross over it to get to his Guru.
JUST AS THE MORTAL DIES WITHOUT WATER, SO DOES THE SIKH DIE WITHOUT THE GURU. Just as the earth looks beautiful when the rain falls, so does the Sikh blossom forth meeting the Guru. I long to be the servant of Your servants; I call upon You reverently in prayer. Nanak offers this prayer to the Lord, that he may meet the Guru, and find peace! (ANG 760, Satguru Granth Sahib Jee)
***If you visit the Gurdwara today, what do you see, Guru Ji sitting on their own, We should go to see Guru Ji everyday, because Guru Ji loves us and also wants to be with us. If we pull Guru Ji with our heart and remember him always then he will always come and be there with you**

Everynight at the gurdwara when SukhAsan takes place and Guru Granth Sahib jee is respectfully carried on the head of a beloved GurMukh, the rest of the GurMukh pyarios' sing :
ਜਿਥੈਜਾਇਬਹੈਮੇਰਾਸਤਿਗੁਰੂਸੋਥਾਨੁਸੁਹਾਵਾਰਾਮਰਾਜੇ॥ Jithai jā ė bahai mėrā saṯgurū so thān suhāvā rām rājė. Wherever my True Guru goes and sits, that place is beautiful, O Lord King.
The dhol is being beaten, the shaneh (bells and symbols) are chiming, a group of ten children are at the front, the rest of the Sangat follow behind as Guru Sahib goes to the Peace (Sukh) position (Asan) upstairs on the bed.
It feels like Guru Gobind Singh jee himself is riding majestically by and the Sangat bow, applying the dust of His feet to their forehead
ਗੁਰਸਿਖੀਸੋਥਾਨੁਭਾਲਿਆਲੈਧੂਰਿਮੁਖਿਲਾਵਾ॥ Gusikẖīʼn so thān bẖāli ā lai ḏẖūr mukẖ lāvā. The Guru's Sikhs seek out that place; they take the dust and apply it to their faces.
Like when a luxorious ocean liner cuts through the calm sea under the summer sun and all the little boats marvel at its splendour as he sails by. Then they feel the ripples of waves from the Ocean liner and follow in his wake. Singing Wonderful Wondeful Wondeful Waheguru as all the blessings washover them.
ਗੁਰਸਿਖਾਕੀਘਾਲਥਾਇਪਈਜਿਨਹਰਿਨਾਮੁਧਿਆਵਾ॥ Gursikẖā kī gẖāl thā ė pa ī jin har nām ḏẖi āvā. The works of the Guru's Sikhs, who meditate on the Lord's Name, are approved.
The GurMukhs sing the glories of the SatGuru and God causes the world to sing the glories of the GurMukh.
ਜਿਨ੍ਹ੍ਹਨਾਨਕੁਸਤਿਗੁਰੁਪੂਜਿਆਤਿਨਹਰਿਪੂਜਕਰਾਵਾ॥੨॥ Jinĥ Nānak saṯgur pūji ā ṯin har pūj karāvā. ||2|| Those who worship the True Guru, O Nanak - the Lord causes them to be worshipped in turn. ||2||
Dhann Dhann Guru Raam Daas Jee
Sant Attar Singh ji used to lie flat as stick (danda-aut) infront of Guru Granth Sahib jee for hours on end just to pass all the blessings and respect people had given him back to Guru Sahib.
Guru Gobind Singh jee said 'nothing pleases me more than people serving the Khalsa.' Wherever Guru jee used to go to eat, he made sure the punj pyare got served before he did. (This tradition continues when Prashad is distributed first to representatives of the punj pyaare i.e. 5 Khalsa then to the Granthee and then to the Sangat.)

DLR, the German aerospace agency, is showing a new pair of legs. DLR-Biped, which could use a new name, is a four-foot-eight walking research platform that was developed in less than a year.
It was designed to study ways of walking, especially for domestic service robots, according to Plastic Pals, so it doesn't have much in the way of an upper body. Reportedly it is the first bipedal robot with torque-controlled joints -- it has six in each leg, as well as six-axis torque sensors in its feet. The upper legs were made from existing robot arms, which explains their sort of armlike appearance. The lower legs were designed from scratch.

150 villages in Punjab to adopt green farming The government will launch Integrated Pest Management project to encourage farmers to minimise use of pesticides and chemical fertilisers Published on 07/13/2010 - 07:41:23 AM By Hemant Singh Chandigarh:
After recent findings of presence of high level of uranium and other harmful chemicals in the ground water, the Agriculture Department has decided to promote green farming in the state. For this,the department is going to implement Integrated Pest Management (IPM) project in 150 villages of Amritsar, Gurdaspur and Tarn Taran, encouraging farmers to say no to chemicals. Under the ISM project, the farmers will be trained in various aspects of pest management without use of chemicals. They will also be taught about the seed treatment and benefits of green manures. For this purpose, village youth will be trained to disseminate information among the farmers about the project. “We all are seeing the harmful effects of the excessive use of pesticides. Environmental pollution is on the rise. The IPM project has been conceived keeping in mind that farmers of the region are given to the habit of excessive use of fertilisers whether required or not,” Chief Agriculture Officer PS Sandhu said. “It is a vicious cycle; the more you use the chemicals to kill pesticides the more the plants become prone to pests. Being unaware of this fact, farmers keep on using more and more pesticides on plants, making them succulent and vulnerable. Ultimately, the result is needless expenditure on harmful chemicals and rise in environmental pollution,” Sandhu added. Under the project, which is being supported by the Punjab Agriculture University, insect surveillance committee has been formed to formulate plan to protect crops from harmful insects without use of chemicals and encourage farmers to go for seed treatment at an early stage. “The ISM will reduce seed diseases by 70 per cent. You can well imagine if 150 villages don’t find a need to use pesticides how much we will be doing service to the environment. In addition, we will encourage them to grow crops that replenish the soil and only use green manures,"sandhu"

Shaheed Udham Singh (1899-1940) Udham Singh, a revolutionary nationalist, was born Sher Singh on 26 December 1899, at Sunam, in the then princely state of Patiala. His father, Tahal Singh, was at that time working as a watchman on a railway crossing in the neighbouring village of Upall. Sher Singh lost his parents bef...ore he was seven years and was admitted along with his brother Mukta Singh to the Central Khalsa Orphanage at Amritsar on 24 October 1907. As both brothers were administered the Sikh initiatory rites at the Orphanage, they received new names, Sher Singh becoming Udham Singh and Mukta Singh Sadhu Singh. In 1917, Udham Singh's brother also died, leaving him alone in the world.
Udham Singh left the Orphanage after passing the matriculation examination in 1918. He was present in the Jallianvala Bag on the fateful Baisakhi day, 13 April 1919, when a peaceful assembly of people was fired upon by General Reginald Edward Harry Dyer, killing over one thousand people. The event which Udham Singh used to recall with anger and sorrow, turned him to the path of revolution. Soon after, he left India and went to the United States of America. He felt thrilled to learn about the militant activities of the Babar Akalis in the early 1920's, and returned home. He had secretly brought with him some revolvers and was arrested by the police in Amritsar, and sentenced to four years imprisonment under the Arms Act. On release in 1931, he returned to his native Sunam, but harassed by the local police, he once again returned to Amritsar and opened a shop as a signboard painter, assuming the name of Ram Muhammad Singh Azad. This name, which he was to use later in England, was adopted to emphasize the unity of all the religious communities in India in their struggle for political freedom. Udham Singh was deeply influenced by the activities of Bhagat Singh and his revolutionary group. In 1935, when he was on a visit to Kashmlr, he was found carrying Bhagat Singh's portrait. He invariably referred to him as his guru. He loved to sing political songs, and was very fond of Ram Prasad Bismal, who was the leading poet of the revolutionaries. After staying for some months in Kashmlr, Udham Singh left India. He wandered about the continent for some time, and reached England by the mid-thirties. He was on the lookout for an opportunity to avenge the Jalliavala Bagh tragedy. The long-waited moment at last came on 13 March 1940. On that day, at 4.30 p.m. in the Caxton Hall, London, where a meeting of the East India Association was being held in conjunction with the Royal Central Asian Society, Udham Singh fired five to six shots from his pistol at Sir Michael O'Dwyer, who was governor of the Punjab when the Amritsar massacre had taken place. O'Dwyer was hit twice and fell to the ground dead and Lord Zetland, the Secretary of State for India, who was presiding over the meeting was injured. Udham Singh was overpowered with a smoking revolver. He in fact made no attempt to escape and continued saying that he had done his duty by his country. On 1 April 1940, Udham Singh was formally charged with the murder of Sir Michael O'Dwyer. On 4 June 1940, he was committed to trial, at the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, before Justice Atkinson, who sentenced him to death. An appeal was filed on his behalf which was dismissed on 15 July 1940. On 31 July 1940, Udham Singh was hanged in Pentonville Prison in London. Udham Singh was essentially a man of action and save his statement before the judge at his trial, there was no writing from his pen available to historians. Recently, letters written by him to Shiv Singh Jauhal during his days in prison after the shooting of Sir Michael O'Dwyer have been discovered and published. These letters show him as a man of great courage, with a sense of humour. He called himself a guest of His Majesty King George, and he looked upon death as a bride he was going to wed. By remaining cheerful to the last and going joyfully to the gallows, he followed the example of Bhagat Singh who had been his beau ideal. During the trial, Udham Singh had made a request that his ashes be sent back to his country, but this was not allowed. In 1975, however, the Government of India, at the instance of the Punjab Government, finally succeeded in bringing his ashes home.
