In the works, a watch that is also SOS sender for women in distress
The Ministry of Communications & IT is working on a wristwatch-plus-safety device for women which would enable its wearer to send out a distress signal along with her location at the push of a button or a spoken call for help.
The watch could be available in a few months, and cost as little as Rs 500, Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal said.
“We are looking at technology-based solutions regarding the safety of women. The concept is that you wear something on the wrist, and the moment you say ‘Help Me’, the video automatically starts and the call goes to pre-determined numbers,” Sibal told The Sunday Express.
“There are other features as well but they are at the conceptual stage. It will take about four weeks for the project to be fleshed out, and technology development will take about six months. We really want that whatever device we develop, it should be affordable and, therefore, should not cost more than Rs 500,” Sibal said.
“The concept arose in the context of the recent incident (of the gangrape and murder of a 23-year-old woman in Delhi),” the minister said. Technology, he said, must be part of society’s multi-pronged response. “What we are working on will ensure safety of women, children and also the elderly who stay alone.”
The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) has been asked to develop a prototype device for test and trial runs before commercial production can be started. Preliminary discussions have been held with Indian Telephone Industries (ITI), a DoT PSU, for commercial production, ministry officials said.
The watch is likely to run both Java- and Android-based applications, and have a multi-lingual voice command system, an SMS-based SOS sender, and a URL-based alert and tracking system.
The wearer would be able to send a distress signal or message to the nearest police station and several pre-programmed numbers and e-mail addresses by either a push or voice command, officials said. Efforts are on to build a GPS and camera into the device, with the capacity to record at least 30 minutes of footage.
C-DAC has been asked to work with private sector players to develop a voice command system that is sensitive to a range of Indian languages and accents, the officials said.
“Once the project is established, the private sector can move in, as we did in the case of Aakash (tablets),” Sibal said.
Safety of women is the first item on the agenda of the Congress party’s two-day “chintan shivir” in Jaipur next week, and Sibal’s initiative looks set to receive the backing of the party leadership. A section of Congress leaders believes that a technological solution of this kind could be a “game changer” for the ruling party, which has been facing all-round flak for failing to ensure safety of women even in the national capital.

Cookpad has released English site.（クックパッドの英語サイトがスタートしたそうな！）
Cookpad is the biggest recipe site in Japan. It's very helpful site. I've been using it, of course!
I had been wondering why they didn't set up English site. Well, I guess, because there are tons of English recipe site in the world already. and, Unfortunately, Japanese people can't use English very much. I understand they didn't really have to built English site. But, I've been waiting for this moment!
Wow!You know, I would like to share my Japanese food recipe. and I'm very interesting in others! It's good to me. Here's my page on english ver. of Cookpad. I'm exciting to put my recipe more!
ｈｔｔｐ：ｃｏｏｋｐａｄ．ｉｔ日本最大のレシピサイト「クックパッド」が、英語サイトをオープンした模様です。なんで英語サイトがないのかな？と前から思っていました。日本のケータイはすごく進んでたのに国際市場で乗り遅れてしまったし、mixiもFacebookよりずっと前からあったけど、基本的に日本国内向けのサービスだった。それがいけないというのじゃ全然ないけれど、もっと海外に日本発のものがぐいぐい出てってもいいのになって思っていました。
アメリカで住んでいる間、「なんじゃこれー！」という日本食を何度も見ました。日本食は海外でもとても人気だけれど、SUSHIとTENPURAとSHABU-SHABUぐらいしか知らない人がほとんどなんじゃないかしら。おかゆみたいなどろどろの糊状のものを無理矢理海苔で巻いて（糊を海苔で巻く。。）SUSHIですって売ってたりとか、それを食べてみんなフーンって言ってたりとか、なんかそういうのすごく悔しいなって思っていました。もっとホントに私たちが食べているもののことを知って欲しい。もっとSUSHI以外にも美味しい日本食は沢山あるのになって思っていました。英語版Cookpadがその扉の一つになればいいなと期待しております。私もちょっとレシピを載せてみました！これ。日本のCookpadとはデザインなんか違って、まだ、正直使いづらいところもあるんだけど。。でももっともっと改善されていくことでしょう。楽しみです☆

Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young, Fire Inc.
Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young, Fire Inc.
I've got a dream 'bout an angel on the beach
And the perfect waves are starting to come
His hair is flying out in ribbons of gold
And his touch has got the power to stun
I've got a dream 'bout an angel in the forest
Enchanted by the edge of a lake
His body's flowing in the jewels alive
And the earth below is starting to shake
But I don't see any angels in the city
I don't hear any holy choirs sing
And if I can't get an angel
I can still get a boy
And a boy'd be the next best thing
The next best thing to an angel
A boy'd be the next best thing
I've got a dream 'bout a boy in a castle
And he's dancing like a cat on the stairs
He's got the fire of a prince in his eyes
And the thunder of a drum in his ears
I've got a dream 'bout a boy on a star
Lookin' down upon the rim of the world
He's there all alone and dreamin' of someone like me
I'm not an angel but at least I'm a girl
I've got a dream when the darkness is over
We'll be lyin' in the rays of the sun
But it's only a dream and tonight is for real
You'll never know what it means
But you'll know how it feels
It's gonna be over (over)
Before you know it's begun
(Before you know it's begun)
It's all we really got tonight
Stop your cryin' hold on (tonight)
Before you know it it's gone (tonight)
Tonight is what it means to be young
Tonight is what it means to be young
And the perfect waves are starting to come
His hair is flying out in ribbons of gold
And his touch has got the power to stun
I've got a dream 'bout an angel in the forest
Enchanted by the edge of a lake
His body's flowing in the jewels alive
And the earth below is starting to shake
But I don't see any angels in the city
I don't hear any holy choirs sing
And if I can't get an angel
I can still get a boy
And a boy'd be the next best thing
The next best thing to an angel
A boy'd be the next best thing
I've got a dream 'bout a boy in a castle
