Chandigarh: Listing out the measures taken by his government to compensate <keyword id="19934969" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="farmers" source="keywords">farmers</keyword> over this year's subnormal rain, Haryana Chief Minister <keyword id="20928101" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="nayab-singh-saini" source="keywords">Nayab Singh Saini</keyword> countered the <keyword id="19895371" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Congress" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Congress" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Congress">Congress</keyword> criticism over the issue, saying the opposition party would give only "meagre amounts" while it was in power. Stepping up the attack ahead of the possible announcement of assembly polls in the state, <keyword id="20361506" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Saini" source="keywords">Saini</keyword>, addressing a press conference on Friday, hit out at Congress's '<keyword id="22376578" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Haryana-Maange-Hisab" source="keywords">Haryana Maange Hisab</keyword>' campaign and accused it of spreading lies. Asked if he has any information on whether Haryana's poll dates will be announced later in the day, Saini quipped: "Who said so? Polls will be held as per schedule." The chief minister pointed to the recent cabinet decision to compensate farmers affected by less rains at a rate of Rs 2,000 per acre as a bonus. "We have released the first instalment of Rs 525 crore on Friday," he said. All the farmers who have registered on the designated portal will be compensated for their losses, he said. Saini said the BJP-led government in the state has taken several steps for farmers' welfare in the past ten years. "Congress sheds crocodile tears in the name of farmers. They should tell how much crops they procured from farmers in the ten years between 2005-2014," Saini said. "During their rule, Congress used to handover cheques of meagre amounts of Rs 2, Rs 5 for crop damage. The <keyword id="19894848" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="BJP" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="BJP" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="BJP">BJP</keyword> government has given Rs 13,276 crore as compensation to farmers for crop damage in the past ten years," he said. During the Congress rule, farmers would "dump their produce" on roads as they did not get the required price, the CM said. Under the BJP government, payment is made to the farmers' bank accounts within 72 hours, Saini said. Dubbing the 'Haryana Maange Hisab' campaign as a "jhooth ki yatra" (yatra of lies), he added, "Those who are seeking an account from us, I want to show them the mirror and tell them how we are taking decisions in favour of farmers and empowering them," he said. Saini said while the Congress is wearing a mask of honesty these days, everyone knows how farmers' land was "snatched by them in the name of CLU (change of land use)" and handed them over to builders. The Congress has been attacking the BJP as part of its 'Haryana Maange Hisab' campaign, after its launch on July 15, targeting the ruling party over several issues concerning farmers as well as unemployment, law and order and others.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Apple is reportedly working on home robots that could follow users and be used for FaceTime sessions.</li><li>The company also has a patent lineup that peeks into what could be its "next big thing." </li></ul>Apple is exploring the creation of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-exploring-home-robots-as-next-big-thing-report-2024-4">home robots</a> in an effort to make its "next big thing" after the company ended its self-driving car project earlier this year, sources familiar with the matter <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-03/apple-explores-home-robots-after-abandoning-car-efforts?sref=yaJhKSOh">told Bloomberg</a>.The tech giant is looking into developing a mobile robot that follows users around their houses, Bloomberg reported. It's also working on a tabletop device that can rotate a screen independently. The rotating smart device could follow a user's head movements during a FaceTime session and zoom into a particular person in a crowd that's on the call, per Bloomberg. It's not clear if these robots will ever hit the market.But Apple may not just be betting on domestic machines. The company's famously hefty patent lineup offers a glimpse into what else the iPhone maker could make as part of its quest to create the next big product.For example, some of the tech giant's recent patents point to a 20.3-inch MacBook with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-may-be-working-on-laptop-with-foldable-screen-2024-3">foldable screen</a> that top analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts could enter mass production in 2027.Others may also be on the horizon, said Anmol Saini, a technical architect at Insights by GreyB, the innovation consulting firm's patent research division.Saini is part of a team that analyzes the latest trends in Apple's patents. He identified three Apple patents he believes the company will likely make.The patents Saini identified as "highly probable" include:1) <a target="_blank" href="https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/51/4e/e3/ae322eac08289e/US11347189.pdf">An Apple Watch with a camera</a>2) <a target="_blank" href="https://ppubs.uspto.gov/dirsearch-public/print/downloadPdf/11262797">A hand-wearable accessory for the Apple Vision Pro</a><div type="image" title="apple patent hand wearable linked to vision pro" height="1270" width="1492" msid="108751921" hostid="261"></div>3)<a target="_blank" href="https://ppubs.uspto.gov/dirsearch-public/print/downloadPdf/20180329677"> Siri that works offline on the iPhone</a><div type="image" title="apple patent siri offline assistant" height="1254" width="1422" msid="108751923" hostid="261"></div>Notably, most of Apple's patents — the company filed 95,500 of them globally, per recent <a target="_blank" href="https://insights.greyb.com/apple-patents/">Insights by GreyB data</a> — don't make it to production."Typically, about 30% of them ultimately find their way to some feature," Gene Munster, an analyst at Deepwater Asset Management, told BI regarding the tech giant's patents.Saini says he made these predictions based on the trends he identified when reviewing the patents.He noted that the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/tech/best-apple-watch">Apple Watch</a> camera could be a feasible product because "a lot" of Apple's patents were around gesture and hands-free control, which he claims depend on a camera feed. The same goes for the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/tech/apple-vision-pro-review">Vision Pro</a>'s hand-wearable accessory. Many patents related to the gaming and VR space, he said, explicitly mention a "hand wearable device.""This kind of detail is usually not common unless the company has plans to build such accessories for advanced use," Saini said.In terms of Siri, the analyst says that "almost all of the patents around AI" mention words like "privacy," "secure," and "local training." He says they indicate Apple's values for its AI strategy and "point indirectly" toward offline models."I think all three of those make sense," Munster said when asked if he agreed with Saini's predictions. "I would consider them a natural evolution of their product lines."The Deepwater analyst added that an Apple watch with a camera would be a "big selling point." He says that making Siri work entirely offline would make sense because the AI assistant has "a lot of limitations" when the iPhone isn't connected to WiFi or cellular data.However, Munster said a hand accessory for Apple's mixed reality headset is the "longest shot of the three." After all, he noted that similar patents — like an iPhone with a keyboard —never came to fruition.The analysts' predictions come as Apple switches gears to focus on AI — technology some say the company is falling behind. In early March, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-is-shutting-down-its-ev-project-2024-2">Apple killed its self-driving car </a>project to redirect its team efforts to AI. The tech giant appears to be working on an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-reportedly-plans-to-launch-an-ai-tool-this-year-2024-2">AI coding tool</a> similar to Microsoft's GitHub Copilot and an AI-powered search feature titled Spotlight, among others, according to Bloomberg.Rumors are even swirling that Apple may even be in talks with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/google-apple-partnership-rumors-ai-industry-gemini-model-iphone-2024-3">Google</a> to build Gemini, the search giant's generative AI model, into the iPhone, per Bloomberg."Apple has been silently doing a lot of research on AI," analyst Saini said when asked about Apple's patents related to AI.The company's strategy is increasingly coming under scrutiny. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-antitrust-lawsuit-justice-department-2024-3">The US Department of Justice sued Apple </a>this week for engaging in illegal anti-competitive practices to dominate the smartphone market.Still, Munster doesn't see this as the company's ploy to stay competitive."I don't think their patent strategy is defensive," he said. "I think it's offensive and opportunistic within that."Apple didn't immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment before publication.

Apple is reportedly working on home robots. Here are 3 other products the company could also be working on.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Jaz Saini and Harjit Bhandal tied the knot in October after getting engaged six months beforehand. </li><li>But disaster struck just four days before the wedding when Saini's wedding dress wouldn't zip up.</li></ul>A bride who experienced a disastrous wedding dress malfunction just four days before tying the knot said the creative solution she found to fix the gown made her love it even more. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sincerelyxjaz">Jaz Saini</a>, 31, told Insider she and her partner, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/whoisharjit">Harjit Bhandal</a>, 30, got married in Los Angeles in October after he proposed to her during a trip to New York City in April. The couple, who run the YouTube channel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@youtwotv">YouTwoTV</a> together, met eight years ago in Toronto, Canada, but have been living in LA for the past three years. Despite having a short engagement, Saini said she felt well-prepared for their wedding day, which included sourcing two wedding dresses – a traditional red lehenga and a white wedding dress for the reception. However, just four days before the big day, she tried on her white wedding dress to discover, to her horror, that it wouldn't zip. Saini <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@sincerelyxjaz/video/7157811075419770158">shared a TikTok</a> of her, Bhandal, and their siblings all attempting to zip the dress, which has over 1.9 million views as of Friday. "I had 20 people trying to get me into the dress," Saini said. "But it just wouldn't go up."Although she said some people on TikTok suggested she might've gained weight between her fittings, Saini said she actually lost weight in the week prior due to all of the stress of planning the event.During her final fitting in September, she said found the dress to be too loose on her so the designer made a last-minute adjustment.<div type="image" title="The couple on their wedding day." height="3018" width="4024" msid="95612318" hostid="261" sizebytes="515538"></div>"She tightened it and then I didn't try it on, I just picked it up and I had to run to the airport," Saini said. Because of the way the dress was tightened, she said that some of the fabric got caught in the lining, making it impossible to zip up.Amid the chaos, Saini said she remained calm. However, she knew she "absolutely" had to fix it. Not wanting to stress anyone else out, she said she took it upon herself the day before the wedding to try to find a solution. "I went to like 10 tailors and they were like, 'There's nothing we can do,'" she said. "At that point, I was crying in my car."<div type="image" title="The wedding dress was identical from the front after the last-minute adjustment." height="2992" width="3990" msid="95612320" hostid="261" sizebytes="1159178"></div>Just when all was looking lost, Saini said she went to a dressmaker who came up with a nifty trick: removing half of the zip entirely and sewing in a corset-style lacing loop. The entire alteration ended up costing Saini just $100. "In the grand scheme of things, I'm so glad everything happened because I love the corset even more," Saini said. "From the front obviously it looks identical and the back is beautiful. It's like a beautiful pattern now."In retrospect, Saini said she wouldn't change anything about how the dress turned out. She also shared some advice for future brides-to-be who encounter pre-wedding hiccups. "Focus on the solution and not the problem," she said. "How can we fix this? What can we do? We can get this done. There's always a solution."

Recent discoveries, however, are upending that view and reigniting a debate among scientists about whether Neanderthals should be considered to be the same species as early modern humans.If Neanderthals belonged to our species, it could reshape the history of human evolution and challenge how we define what makes us human.<h2>Most of us have some Neanderthal DNA</h2>The first fossils of Neanderthals were identified almost 200 years ago. By now, you would think scientists would have made up their minds about whether they should be defined as a separate species from Homo sapiens.But it turns out this is a matter of fierce debate, Antoine Balzeau, a paleontologist from the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle in France, told Business Insider."When we were at first discussing the fossils in the 19th century, there was no real debate about specific species or not, simply because at the time, humans were seen as a species but by default," he said.<div type="image" title="A skull of a Neanderthal is seen in the foreground, the cast is partial, and missing bits of the skull are filled in. The skull is displayed in a museum, a person is seen in the background looking at the skulls." height="1217" width="2000" msid="106449427" hostid="261"></div>As more fossils emerged, scientists started questioning the strict separation between the species.Still, up to recently, the consensus was mostly that Neanderthals should be seen as separate. The hominins, who roamed Europe as early as 430,000 years ago, only briefly interacted with Homo sapiens emerging from Africa, who reached Europe about 50,000 years ago.The lineages separated about 500,000 years ago — relatively recently in the story of human evolution, but long enough ago that they looked significantly different. For many, that evidence was enough to close the debate: Neanderthals and Homo sapiens were separate species.That view started to change in 2008 when Swedish geneticist Svante Pääbo achieved something that was thought to be impossible: he sequenced <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/some-more-neanderthal-dna-others-scientists-why-2023-10">the genome of a Neanderthal by extracting DNA from ancient bones.</a>Through his research, Pääbo was able to show that there's a little Neanderthal in most of us. In fact, he showed most living humans carry around <a target="_blank" href="https://www.genome.gov/27539119/2010-release-complete-neanderthal-genome-sequenced#:~:text=Bethesda%2C%20Md.%2C%20Thurs.,in%20Neanderthals%20or%20in%20Neanderthals'">2% of Neanderthal DNA</a>.The evidence also suggests that human ancestors and Neanderthals likely had children together when they cohabitated about 50,000 years ago.This news created a dogmatic rift, opening up the possibility, once again, that Neanderthals and humans should be considered to be the same species.After all, according to the strict biological definition of species, animals from different species shouldn't be able to produce fertile offspring."It definitely was a big game changer at that point," Laura Buck, an evolutionary anthropologist studying hybridization between hominin species, told BI."I think it has sort of brought that discussion to the forefront again," she said.<h2>Were Neanderthals more than just our distant cousins?</h2>The idea that species can't reproduce is "intuitively attractive because it's sort of clear cut," Buck said, "but biology isn't clear cut."She points to several examples of mammals that have been known to interbreed and have fertile offspring, like wolves and dogs, despite being clearly defined as separate species.For her, a better definition of Neanderthals, the most scientifically tried and tested, is the first one: the characteristics of their bones separate them from modern humans and their direct ancestors.<div type="image" title="Neanderthal" height="2592" width="2658" msid="106449429" hostid="261"></div>"I know there are various different papers saying if you shaved a Neanderthal, put him in a suit, and put him on the tube or the subway in New York, no one would notice, I don't think that's true," she said."I think we'd definitely think they looked a bit weird," she said.Balzeau agrees. "There may be some discussion between specialists about how we define the different groups but from a paleontological point of view, Homo neanderthalensis and almost Homo sapiens are very clear anatomical differences," said Balzeau.For others, however, the genomic information should be another argument to liberate the Neanderthal from its knuckle-dragging stereotype.That's the case for Paul Pettitt, an archaeologist who specializes in the Paleolythic at Durham University in the UK."It would be guesswork to use that evolutionary divergence to assume that there are different species," he told BI.<h2>Can culture define a species?</h2>Over the past two decades, digs started emerging showing Neanderthals may have been much more sophisticated than had been previously thought.Pettitt counts himself among those who, until recently, were skeptical that Neanderthals could have any sense of sophistication."Until say 20 years ago, Neanderthal behavior was looked on as fairly stupid, or at least fairly limited, and Homo sapiens were, by contrast, seen as quoting Shakespeare, as they dance across Europe," he joked."Which is, of course, nonsense, but it's a very entrenched view," he said.<div type="image" title="Neanderthal jewelry" height="507" width="768" msid="106449430" hostid="261"></div>After all, relative to their size, some studies suggest Neanderthals had a brain at least the same size, if not bigger, than our ancestors, indicating that they may have been very cerebral, Pettitt said"You don't buy a top-of-the-range computer simply to use it as an alarm clock. There's got to be an evolutionary reason why Neanderthals had selected for this remarkably, metabolically expensive tissue," he said.Studies have suggested that Neanderthals <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/neanderthals-hunted-cave-lions-feasted-meat-study-2023-10">were skilled hunters</a>, and hide workers, created rudimentary jewelry, had a complex lythic industry, and even worked with pigment.Some scientists even believe they may have had some form of spiritualism, and would bury their dead, revere lions, and may have even created cave paintings — though that evidence is still a matter of debate.For Pettitt, this suggests that as Neanderthals and humans lived alongside each other in Europe, there's a good chance they shared a culture or learned from observing each other.If they spoke, he said, "we can assume they probably spoke different languages. But that similarity suggests there was in fact a shared meaning, however simple."<h2>Could Neanderthals be called human?</h2>There's a bigger picture question at stake here: should Neanderthals be considered humans?"What humanity is very much depends on which group of people you're talking to," Buck said."It's something that is culturally defined, but it's also something that has sort of value judgments. We talk about inhumanity. We talked about humanity. It's not something that just refers to different types of organisms," she said.With the sheer number of people who are alive today, there is arguably more Neanderthal DNA on Earth than there ever was before.Angela Saini, author of "Superior: the Return of Race Science," argues that there is a real risk of getting this wrong. Those who are thought to have more Neanderthal DNA today could be wrongly thought of as inferior.Early studies have linked these Neanderthal genes to modern health effects like autoimmune diseases, diabetes, and some cancer— though how these genes exactly affect the health of the person who carries them is still mostly unclear. Neanderthal genes have also notably been associated with catching COVID-19.Because East Asian populations have been found to carry slightly more Neanderthal DNA on average, there is a real danger that this information will be used for discrimination.The flip side is that our interpretation of Neanderthal culture has changed dramatically in recent years. Saini notes that the Neanderthal image was rehabilitated just as people started to draw them closer to populations in Europe, and genetic information started suggesting they were fairer skinned with red hair."That's what I find particularly galling. A hundred or so years ago, the supposed similarity between Neanderthals and Aboriginal Australians was used as a justification to draw living modern humans out of the circle of humanity," she told WNYC."Now, because we see that Neanderthals have some relationship to modern-day Europeans, Neanderthals themselves an extinct species has been thrown into that circle of humanity."<h2>Rewriting our history</h2>We are still in the process of understanding Neanderthals and our relationship to them. As we begin to unpick the history of human and Neanderthal evolution, new scrutiny is being placed on the decision of scholars to separate the two and depict one as superior.When he revealed his research, Pääbo reflected on how <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ancient-humans-interbreed-with-mysterious-population-2020-2#:~:text=But%20a%20new%20study%20showed,Insider's%20homepage%20for%20more%20stories.">humans</a> living on the Earth today are rather exceptional — not necessarily because Homo sapiens are intrinsically better, but because there is very little time in the history of human evolution when Homo sapiens were the only hominin or human on the planet."Had Neanderthals and Denisovans survived, how would we deal with that today?" Pääbo said."Would we experience even worse racism against them than what we experience among us today — because they were in some respects really different — or could we think differently and say if we had them here today we would not just have one type of humans?" he added."I think both things are possible and it sort of reflects our view of humans and how we speculate about that."

Neanderthals and humans may belong to the same species, say scientists. It could rewrite the history of our evolution.

New Delhi, "<keyword id="486655" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="gangs-of-wasseypur" source="Orion">Gangs of Wasseypur</keyword>" may be credited for making the catchphrase "Tum Se Na Ho Payega" popular, but writer-director <keyword id="368516" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="nitesh-tiwari" source="Orion">Nitesh Tiwari</keyword>, whose new film draws its title from the line, believes it was already a part of the audience's conscience. Spoken by Tigmanshu Dhulia's character <keyword id="2183828" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="ramadhir-singh" source="Orion">Ramadhir Singh</keyword> in Anurag Kashyap's 2012 cult classic, the phrase has come to reflect loss of faith in someone's ability and competence. Written by Tiwari and directed by Abhishek Sinha, "Tum Se Na Ho Payega" is a "light-hearted take on the modern-day challenges faced by today's youth, and their dilemma in standing up to these rules laid by the society". Asked if the title of his film is a hat-tip to "Gangs of Wasseypur", Tiwari said that wasn't the case. "'Tum Se Na Ho Payega' has become a popular phrase because of 'Gangs of Wasseypur'. But I like to believe that 'Tum Se Na Ho Payega' existed in our conscience before 'Wasseypur'. 'Wasseypur' also used something that already existed. This (the title of our film) probably exists in the lingo of the youth and what better than something that, (which) not only encapsulates the flavour of the film and feel of the youth," the writer-director told PTI in a virtual interview. "Tum Se Na Ho Payega" was previously named on its source material: <keyword id="183303" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="varun-agarwal" source="Orion">Varun Agarwal</keyword>'s novel "How I Braved Anu Aunty and Co-Founded a Million Dollar Company", he added. Tiwari, best known for directing "Chillar Party", "Dangal" and "Chhichhore", said they decided to change the title as they had "fundamentally deviated" from certain aspects of the 2012 book. "There were many more elements in the film than just 'the aunty bit'. We went back to this and asked if this was the best way to summarise the film as 'Bas Karo Aunty'. The answer came back 'no'. "The best way to explain the film was through the philosophy of the film -- the voices of the film which constantly keep telling us that the moment you try to do something different. At the same time, the flavour of the film is fun and about banter between friends. It has a lot to do with the life of youngsters," he added. The director, an engineering graduate from IIT-B by educational qualification, describes himself as someone who doesn't have many dreams and takes life as it comes. Before foraying in films, Tiwari was in the field of advertising, where he also crossed paths with his wife and filmmaker Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari. "I take life as it comes. I don't plan too much. That's why you see my movies come once every three years. Never following a set pattern but everybody says I should," said Tiwari, whose latest film as a director was 2023's "Bawaal". He, however, has a dream for EarthSky Pictures, a production house he co-founded with his wife. Tiwari said they aim to tell diverse stories and nurture younger talent through their banner. "We were fortunate that somebody believed in us and gave us a break. This is our way of paying back. If at all, you can call it a dream, which is not so much at a personal level, but what kind of stuff I'll be doing going forward. That will happen as it has to happen. The dream as of now is to be able to tell many more stories with the help of a lot of fantastic young talent, whether it's technicians, writers or directors," he added. "Tum Se Na Ho Payega" stars an ensemble cast of Ishwak Singh, Mahima Makwana, Gaurav Pandey, <keyword id="124291" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="amala-akkineni" source="Orion">Amala Akkineni</keyword>, Gurpreet Saini, Parmeet Sethi and Meghna Malik. The film is an Earthsky Pictures Production along with Star Studios, RSVP and Roy Kapur Films. It will be available for streaming on Disney+Hotstar from September 29.
