04 Technology Friday, August 31, 2018 | www.goantimes.titosgoa.com | 12 Pages New iPhones will focus on speed and camera upgrades As Apple's upcoming September product announcement approaches, rumors are surfacing about what they have planned for this release cycle. A new report from Bloomberg claims Apple will launch three new iPhone models, Apple Watches with larger screens, updated AirPods, an AirPower wireless charger and updated iPad Pros. These three new iPhones will keep the same bezel-less screen as the iPhone X, but will come in varying sizes and price ranges to appeal to more customers. The largest model will come with a 6.5-inch OLED screen, making it the largest iPhone ever. The next step down will have a 6.1-inch LCD screen and is meant as a Drones to take flight in Indian skies legally from Dec 1 Indian drone enthusiasts have a reason to cheer. After many years of deliberations, the Ministry of Civil Aviation has announced the country’s first drone policy. This will put an end to the ambiguity regarding drone-flying rules and the task of seeking police permissions. This policy allows for the commercial usage of drones from December 1. Further, the stipulations refer to what can be classified as a remotely piloted aircraft, how they can fly, and restrictions they have to adhere to. So, how does the DGCA define drones? It states that “the remotely piloted aircraft, its associated remote pilot station(s), command and control links and any other components forms a Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS).” Further, these RPAs will require a Unique Identification Number (UIN), an Unmanned Aircraft Operator Creative Artist Agency replacement to the iPhone 8. Finally, the iPhone X's replacement will be a 5.8-inch OLED model with a faster processor and improved camera. All three devices will come with Face ID. In order to maintain sales, Apple is looking to bump up device prices and will also continue to focus on markets outside of the US where they have less than a 25% market share. Bloomberg's sources, who requested anonymity, are calling this an "S Year." That means new iPhones will generally have the same design as the previous generation, but will have updated internal components and features. Next year's launch will come with more significant changes. Besides those iPhone details, not much is known about the other products yet. The new Apple Watches will be very similar in size to previous models, but will come with a larger screen and smaller bezels. The iPad Pros will likely come in 11-inch and 12.9-inch variants and just like the iPhone X, will remove the home button in favor of Face ID. Permit (UAOP), and will have to adhere to other operational requirements. Moreover, the regulation elaborates on “no drone zones.” Thus, areas around airports, near international borders, important military installations, etc. are a strict no-no. Besides, owners and pilots will need the requisite permissions. Users will have to apply for permission on the Digital Sky Platform app, which has put up "no permission, no takeoff” criteria. What’s more, operators will obtain digital permits instantly through an automated process. Additionally, during daytime, drones can be flown at a height of up to 400ft. The DGCA has also classified the drones as nano, micro, small, medium, and large and provided the norms under which they can be used. Meanwhile, this is just a preliminary policy and has, therefore, been termed Regulations 1.0. This heralds a new phase of a possible drone culture in India.

05 Lifestyle Friday, August 31, 2018 | www.goantimes.titosgoa.com | 12 Pages Made by a lady in Japan, these cat-like hand bags look so real, they're freaking creepy only sold on Yahoo! Auction Japan. Pico's Twitter handle is @Picopoco08, and recently a photo of one of her cat bags gained popularity on Twitter and got thousands of retweets and favourites. Harish Bist emerged Winner of the Goa Flair Challenge August - 2018 28 Aug, Tito's, Baga: The results of Goa Flair Challenge of August month is out and Harish Bist of Club Tito's clinched the Winner's title. It's not everyday that a housewife sitting in one part of the world creates something by hand that goes viral and becomes all the rage online. But that's exactly what happened with Pico, a Japanese housewife, whose brainchild of creating hand-made bags that resemble cats, just became a huge hit. It goes without saying that the lady loves the furry creatures. Although the bags feature cats usually in a sitting position, some of the cats even have legs and accessories like hats, such as the one below. Pico describes herself as a cat-loving housewife who also enjoys making stuffed cat toys and bags. She uses wool felt to create the realistic body and furry textures. As the bag also comes with zipper and a strap you can actually freak people out by reaching into what looks like your pet cat to pull out your wallet. Creepy, but funny! As she is the only person who makes such realistic bags which requires a lot of detail, they take quite a while to prepare and get retail ready. Also the bags are not easily available; they are US state bans use of word 'meat' for lab-grown meat What's the definition of "meat"? Once upon a time that would have been an easy enough question to answer, but the advent of meat-substitute products such as the Impossible Burger and the arrival of cultured meat -- aka lab-grown meat -- has given regulators in Missouri pause for thought. On Tuesday, it became the first state in the US to enact a law stating that the word "meat" cannot be used to sell anything that "is not derived from harvested production livestock or poultry." The law could see violators hit with a $1,000 fine and up to a year in prison. The driving force behind the ruling, apparently, is shopper confusion. This realistic cat handbag, which ended up as a three-colour cat, started as a simple white cat and ended up selling for about 700 USD! (Rs 45,000 approx.) Picture courtesy: Twitter/Picopoco08. Rare Ferrari 250 GTO Sold For Record Rs 340 Crore at 2018 Pebble Beach The rare 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO sold for a final price of $48,405,000, which smashes the previous record set in 2014 of $38.1 million for a 1963 version of the same model. If you want to see some of the rarest and most valuable cars in the world the annual gathering Monterey Car Week at Pebble Beach in California is the place to be each August, and this year a number of new auction sale records have been broken at the world-famous event -- a look at the cars that managed the feat.

Lifestyle brand Guess may set up India unit NEW DELHI: Los Angeles-based lifestyle brand and retailer Guess plans to set up an Indian subsidiary — Guess India — to relaunch the brand and expand its retail presence by opening companyowned stores, a departure from the earlier model where stores were operated by franchisees. “The immediate plan is to launch 2-3 stores, followed by another 8-10 stores over the next year or two,” said Lander break the record for the most expensive car ever sold at auction. Including fees, the final price for the car came to an astonishing $48,405,000, which smashes the previous record set in 2014 of $38.1 million for a 1963 version of the same model. The auctioneers certainly knew their stuff, as back in June they placed an estimate on the car of between $45 million and $60 million when it was initially entered into the Pebble beach auction. The winners of August 2018 edition of the contest are - 1st place – Harish Bist, Goa, Tito’s, 2nd place – Rachel Qadeer, Pune, Flair-o-Logy and 3rd place – Rahul Rasal, Goa. Tito’s The next contest will be open on the last Tuesday of September and all those willing to participate can contact Tito's Bar Academy.

Apart from partnerships with popular e-commerce firms, Guess India will also start its own online portal for wider reach. Although a long way short of the $48 million the Ferrari went for, another notable world record was set by a 1935 Duesenberg SSJ sold by Gooding & Co at their Pebble Beach auction. Even though the $22 million it went for is less than half that the Ferrari sold for, that sale price brought two world records for the Duesenberg. First, it made the car formerly owned by Hollywood icon Gary Cooper the most valuable pre-war car ever to be sold at auction. On top of that though, it also became the most expensive American collector car ever sold at auction. And that's quite some record to take as the previous holder was none other than the very first Shelby Cobra to be built, which went for $13.75 million back in 2016. Not every sale was as successful as these though. A Concours restored 1969 Ford Bronco test vehicle was estimated to fetch somewhere between $180,000 and $220,000 but in the end, the hammer came down on that one at $121,000, which although still a lot of money for a Bronco, fell well short of what was expected.
