Vivo V23 series featuring a colour changing back panel, 50MP selfie camera launched in India

Smartphone brand <keyword id="215177" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="vivo" source="Orion">Vivo</keyword> on Friday confirmed that it is all set to launch its upcoming smartphone series — <keyword id="12806962" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="v23-series" source="Orion">V23 Series</keyword> — on January 5. The company took to micro-blogging site Twitter to confirm the launch of its upcoming smartphone series. "With stylish design, delightful selfies and power-packed performance #VivoV23Series is all set to make you and your moments stand out," the company wrote on Twitter. "Vivo V23 Series launching on 05.01.2022 at 12 PM. Block your date and welcome delightful moments in your life," it added. According to GSMArena, Vivo V23 series will "come with India's First 50MP Eye Autofocus Dual <keyword id="2505745" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="selfie-camera" source="Orion">Selfie camera</keyword>," ruling out the launch of the V23e or the V23e 5G since both feature single front-facing cameras. A short clip shows a sunshine gold-coloured smartphone with a curved screen and three cameras on the back, the report said. The V23 Pro was initially expected to be a global version of the recently launched China-exclusive S12 Pro, but it seems the V23 Pro won't be a complete clone of the S12 Pro despite having some similar features, it added.

Devin Nunes, the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, continued to spread the baseless theory during Wednesday's hearings.&#xa0;"Once you understand that Ukrainian officials were cooperating directly with President Trump's political opponents to undermine his candidacy, it's easy to understand why the president would want to learn the full truth about these operations and why he would be skeptical of Ukraine," Nunes stated.&#xa0;<h2>'This is a fictional narrative'</h2>Fiona Hill, Trump's former top Russia adviser, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/fiona-hill-slams-gop-lawmakers-promoting-politically-driven-falsehoods-2019-11">implored Republicans to stop spreading conspiracy theories</a> on Ukraine and election interference in Thursday's impeachment hearing.&#xa0;"Some of you on this committee appear to believe that Russia and its security services did not conduct a campaign against our country and that perhaps, somehow, for some reason, Ukraine did," Hill said, adding, "This is a fictional narrative."Just one day after Putin boasted that no one is blaming Russia for election interference anymore, Hill said that the "result of all of these narratives" is "exactly what the Russian government was hoping for."She added: "If they seed misinformation, they seed doubt, they have everybody questioning the legitimacy of a presidential candidate, be it president Trump or potentially a president Clinton, that they would pit one side of our electorate against the other, that they would pit one party against the other."&#xa0;Along these lines, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the top Ukraine expert on the National Security Council, during an impeachment hearing earlier this week warned that the conspiracy theory being peddled by the GOP is "a Russian narrative that President [Vladimir] Putin has promoted."<h2>'Russia is trying to breed distrust of ... our fellow Americans'</h2>The US intelligence community concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 election and did so to bolster Trump's chances of winning. Intelligence officials have repeatedly warned that Russia is still working to meddle in the US electoral process.Former special counsel Robert Mueller, who led an extensive investigation into Russian election interference that produced a 448-page report, has been emphatic about the ongoing threat in this regard.&#xa0;In July, when congressional lawmakers asked Mueller whether he believed Russia would continue to interfere in US elections, he replied: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/24/opinion/robert-mueller-report-testimony.html">"They're doing it as we sit here."</a>&#xa0;The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee in October released <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/context/senate-intelligence-committee-report-on-russian-interference-in-2020-u-s-elections/232bf09a-47ad-4695-b9b6-61f0a2894856/">a report</a> on its own investigation into election interference.&#xa0;Speaking on the report at the time, Sen. Richard Burr, the committee's chairman, said: "Russia is waging an information warfare campaign against the US that didn't start and didn't end with the 2016 election."Burr added, "Their goal is broader: to sow societal discord and erode public confidence in the machinery of government. By flooding social media with false reports, conspiracy theories, and trolls, and by exploiting existing divisions, Russia is trying to breed distrust of our democratic institutions and our fellow Americans."<ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more of Insider's impeachment coverage:</li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/impeachment-hearings-schedule-who-is-publicly-testifying-next-2019-11">Here's who's scheduled to testify in this week's impeachment inquiry hearings</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-impeachment-resignation-probabilty-chances-2019" data-read-more-link="" data-e2e-name="read-more-link">Think Trump will get impeached?

Putin says 'thank God' as Republicans keep pushing a bogus conspiracy theory that Ukraine interfered in 2016

<div class="KonaFilter image-container float_right"><div class="image"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nosha/4668325959/">Flickr/nosha</a></div></div>Genealogy and health testing startup <keyword id="378542" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="23andMe">23andMe</keyword> just can't catch a breaks these days.
<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/share-23andme-results-with-a-doctor-2013-11" target="_blank">Late November</a>, the FDA slapped 23andMe with a warning letter, telling the company to stop marketing its DNA testing kits. 
Now there's a $5 million class action lawsuit against 23andMe, claiming that its ads are misleading and that the results are not supported by scientific evidence. 
23andMe is a health and ancestry DNA startup founded by Anne Wojcicki in 2006. For $99, you receive a spit kit to provide 23andMe with a saliva sample and the company will send you back DNA test results that can give you a glimpse at your ancestry and tell you whether or not your prone to certain diseases.
We've reached out to 23andMe for comment on the class action lawsuit and will update if we hear back.
Take a look at the full lawsuit below, posted <a href="http://gigaom.com/2013/12/02/23andme-hit-with-class-action-over-misleading-genetic-ads/" target="_blank">via GigaOm</a>:

Genetic Testing Startup 23andMe Faces $5 Million Class Action Lawsuit

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image"><a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%27Noah_and_His_Ark%27_by_Charles_Willson_Peale,_1819.JPG">Wikimedia Commons</a>Noah and his ark</div></div></div>Noah is arguably the first hero to those who observe Judeo-Christian traditions.
When the descendants of Adam and Eve slid down that slippery slope of wickedness, God found favor in Noah.
From <a href="http://bible.oremus.org/?passage=Genesis+6">Genesis Chapter 6</a> (New Revised Standard Version) :
5 The Lord saw that the wickedness of humankind was great in the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually. 6And the Lord was sorry that he had made humankind on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. 7So the Lord said, 'I will blot out from the earth the human beings I have created-people together with animals and creeping things and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.' 8But Noah found favour in the sight of the Lord.
Most people know what happened next. God told Noah that he planned to destroy everyone on earth. He then gave Noah instructions on how to build an ark, told him to fill it with his family and a pair of every animal on the planet, and then made it rain for forty days and forty nights.
"And the waters swelled for one hundred fifty days... At the end of one hundred fifty days the waters had abated; and in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat."
Everyone and everything come out of the ark, Noah builds an alter and sacrifices some animals, and God makes a rainbow.
<h2>Here's Where It Gets Weird</h2>
From <a href="http://bible.oremus.org/?passage=Genesis+9">Genesis Chapter 9</a>:
20 Noah, a man of the soil, was the first to plant a vineyard. 21He drank some of the wine and became drunk, and he lay uncovered in his tent.
This is a detail that most children from Christian homes won't remember from Sunday school.
It gets weirder...
22And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. 23Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and walked backwards and covered the nakedness of their father; their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's nakedness. 24When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his youngest son had done to him, 25he said, 'Cursed be Canaan; lowest of slaves shall he be to his brothers.' 26He also said, 'Blessed by the Lord my God be Shem; and let Canaan be his slave. 27 May God make space for<a>*</a> Japheth, and let him live in the tents of Shem; and let Canaan be his slave.'
This is truly one of the oddest stories in the Bible. There obviously are a lot of details that have been excluded.
The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Oxford-Annotated-Bible-Apocrypha/dp/0195289609">New Oxford Annotated Bible</a> offers some annotations based on hundreds of years of scholarly research.
22-23: Some have speculated that Ham had sex with his father, since nakedness refers to incestuous behavior in Lev. 20.17. Nevertheless, a more common expression for sexual intercourse in Leviticus is "uncover nakedness" (e.g., 18.6, 20.18) or "lie with" (e.g., 20.11-12). Moreover, the description of Ham's brothers' contrasting behavior in v. 23 (their faces were turned away) makes clear that the problem with Ham's behavior was that he did not look away.
The annotations note that passing out naked was not uncommon in the old days.
In the ancient Near East, sons were expected to protect the honor of their father through caring for him when he was drunk (with no negative judgment being attached to getting drunk). Ham here does the opposite, both looking upon his father naked and telling his brothers about it. Such behavior is an example of the same kind of breakdown of family relationships that was seen in ch 3 (see 3.8-13, 16-19n.) and ch 4 (see 4.1-15n.).
Volumes have been written about this. But we'll leave it at that.
Anyways, <a href="http://www.deadline.com/2014/02/paramount-harangues-variety-story-that-soaks-noah-with-vague-poll/">Darren Aronofsky's "Noah"</a> opens today.
