Wales Wales shares a great deal of history with the rest of Great Britain, but the rugged beauty of its landscapes and the open nature of its inhabitants make it a distinctly unique travel destination. For first-time visitors, the most obvious difference between Wales and the other lands in the United Kingdom is the tongue-twisting Welsh language. While everyone speaks English, part of the fun of visiting Wales is learning a few phrases of one of the oldest languages in Europe. Besides its Celtic culture, the country is also famous for the large number of imposing castles. Wales’s scenic mountains, valleys and coastlines are just as enchanting, and no visit to Wales is complete without a long tramp through one of its stunning national parks.

How Europe trumped US for Indian IT companies NEW DELHI: For the longest time, US was the largest as well as the most dominant market for the $150-billion software services industry. While it still contributes to two-thirds of the sector’s revenues, over the past few quarters, it is countries in Europe – especially in Continental Europe – that are bringing the maximum growth, defying the concerns around Brexit. Under a lot of pressure, US – especially in the banking and financial services (BFSI) industry –growth rates have reduced to low, single digits for top IT companies.  Meanwhile, Europe – traditionally considered shy of outsourcing (except for UK) – is growing at a much faster pace. The percentage share of revenues contributed by the US has also been steadily coming down.  While announcing the September quarter results, the CEO of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) Rajesh Gopinathan said from a geography perspective, growth was...

Don’t think something is wrong with you’: Sri Sri Ravi Shankar to man who faced abuse for being gay The spiritual leader said that one’s sexual orientation is not a permanent thing and might change, while answering a question at a lecture at JNU.. Enrique Marcarian/Reuters Spiritual leader Ravi Shankar on Monday said being homosexual or heterosexual is a tendency that may change. He made the statement at the Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi after a student asked how he should handle the way his friends and family “mistreat” him because he was homosexual. “You treat yourself better, doesn’t matter how others treat you. You don’t think you are sick or something is wrong with you,” he said. “If you stand up, nobody can insult you, but...if you feel bad about yourself, nobody can make you feel better,” he told the student. “This is your tendency now...just acknowledge it, accept it, and know that this tendency is not a permanent thing. It may change. I’ve seen many...

First major update since 2003 aims to spur heart-healthy lifestyle changes SHARE ARTICLE DOUBLE CHECK   New blood pressure guidelines redefine what constitutes high blood pressure. A patient’s levels should be based on the average of two or three readings taken on at least two different occasions, the authors say. ANAHEIM, Calif.   — Nearly half of U.S. adults now have high blood pressure, thanks to a new definition of what constitutes high: 130/80 is the new 140/90. That means that 103 million people — about 14 percent more than under the old definition — need to make diet and exercise changes and, in some cases, take medication to lower their risk of heart attack or stroke. These new blood pressure guidelines, the first major update since 2003, were announced November 13 at the American Heart Association’s annual scientific sessions and published in  Hypertension  and the  Journal of the America...

1GB Data Per Day Plans You Can  Buy  HIGHLIGHTS Jio offers four plans with 1GB data per day Airtel and Vodafone provide 1.5GB data every day at less than Rs. 350 BSNL and Jio offer plans with validities of more than 3 months  The Jio cashback offer that was announced last week may help the company lure some buyers away from incumbents such as  Airtel ,  Vodafone ,  Idea  and  BSNL . Clearly, the  Jio  offer is aimed at new subscribers as users who join the platform will get more wallet cashback from the company compared to its existing users. However, the going may be a little tougher than what the newest telco on the block anticipates courtesy the competitive data and calling plans launched in the wake of Jio's entry last year by all major operators. However, with so much action in the telecom sector nowadays, plans come and go rather fast. So if you are looking to buy a plan with 1GB data per day, her...
