The Tomb Of Jesus Is Opened For The First Time In Centuries!

2016-11-10T10:51:00.003-08:00

For the first time in nearly half a millennia, the tomb of Jesus, the rock upon which he was laid after the Crucifixion, and from where He Resurrected, has been opened.

Researchers from the National Technical University of Athens had been given permission by the caretakers of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre to remove a marble slab that had covered the limestone slab where Our Lord was placed as part of a conservation effort. It is the first time since at least 1555 that Tomb had been opened, and as such, it had never been photographed or seen by any person currently alive.

After removing the marble slab, researchers found a layer of fill debris, and below that, another marble slab engraved with a cross, likely from the Crusaders era. When the final layer was removed, a humble and rough-hewn limestone slab was revealed. This is believed to be the actual rock Our Lord laid for 3 days after the Crucifixion, and before his glorious Ressurection.

“I’m absolutely amazed. My knees are shaking a little bit because I wasn’t expecting this,” said Fredrik Hiebert, an archaeologist with National Geographic who granted exclusive permission to record the efforts. “We can’t say 100 percent, but it appears to be visible proof that the location of the tomb has not shifted through time, something that scientists and historians have wondered for decades.”

In addition, researchers confirmed the existence of the original limestone cave walls within the 18th-century Edicule, or shrine, which encloses the tomb. The site has been venerated since at least 325 A.D., when the Emporer Constantine sent his mother, Saint Helena – the patroness of archaeologists, to locate the tomb. The locals directed her to a temple built by the Roman emperor Hadrian 200 years prior. Hadrian had the temple built over the tomb in an attempt to deter believers from venerating the site.

According to Saint Eusebius, the Roman temple was demolished and beneath it was found the rock-cut tomb. Constantine commissioned a Church to be built on the spot. Sadly, in 1009, Fatimid caliph Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah ordered the complete destruction of the church. The Church was rebuilt in 1028 after a treaty between the Byzantines and the Fatimids.

The conservation efforts of Christ’s tomb are part of a larger project to repair damage in the Church. The tomb has been resealed and might not be revealed again for centuries. National Geographic will be airing a documentary about the project.

WHY WE SHOULD VISIT TEMPLES?

2014-08-18T03:11:00.000-07:00

WHY WE SHOULD VISIT TEMPLES?

(Scientific Reason) There are thousands of temples all over India in different size, shape and locations but not all of them are considered to be built the Vedic way. Generally, a temple should be located at a place where earth's magnetic wave path passes through densely. It can be in the outskirts of a town/village or city, or in middle of the dwelling place, or on a hilltop. The essence of visiting a temple is discussed here.

Now, these temples are located strategically at a place where the positive energy is abundantly available from the magnetic and electric wave distributions of north/south pole thrust. The main idol is placed in the core center of the temple, known as "*Garbhagriha*" or *Moolasthanam*. In fact, the temple structure is built after the idol has been placed. This *Moolasthanam* is where earth’s magnetic waves are found to be maximum. We know that there are some copper plates, inscribed with Vedic scripts, buried beneath the Main Idol. What are they really? No, they are not God’s / priests’ flash cards when they forget the *shlokas*. The copper plate absorbs earth’s magnetic waves and radiates it to the surroundings. Thus a person regularly visiting a temple and walking clockwise around the Main Idol receives the beamed magnetic waves and his body absorbs it. This is a very slow process and a regular visit will let him absorb more of this positive energy. Scientifically, it is the positive energy that we all require to have a healthy life.

Further, the Sanctum is closed on three sides. This increases the effect of all energies. The lamp that is lit radiates heat energy and also provides light inside the sanctum to the priests or *poojaris* performing the pooja. The ringing of the bells and the chanting of prayers takes a worshipper into trance, thus not letting his mind waver. When done in groups, this helps people forget personal problems for a while and relieve their stress. The fragrance from the flowers, the burning of camphor give out the chemical energy further aiding in a different good aura. The effect of all these energies is supplemented by the positive energy from the idol, the copper plates and utensils in the *Moolasthan*am /*Garbagraham*. *Theertham*, the “holy” water used during the pooja to wash the idol is not plain water cleaning the dust off an idol. It is a concoction of Cardamom,*Karpura* (Benzoin), zaffron / saffron, *Tulsi* (Holy Basil), Clove, etc...Washing the idol is to charge the water with the magnetic radiations thus increasing its medicinal values. Three spoons of this holy water is distributed to devotees. Again, this water is mainly a source of magneto-therapy. Besides, the clove essence protects one from tooth decay, the saffron & *Tulsi* leafs protects one from common cold and cough, cardamom and *Pachha Karpuram* (benzoin), act as mouth fresheners. It is proved that *Theertham* is a very good blood purifier, as it is highly energized. Hence it is given as *prasadam* to the devotees. This way, one can claim to remain healthy by regularly visiting the Temples. This is why our elders used to suggest us to offer prayers at the temple so that you will be cured of many ailments. They were not always superstitious. Yes, in a few cases they did go overboard when due to ignorance they hoped many serious diseases could be cured at temples by deities. When people go to a temple for the *Deepaaraadhana*, and when the doors open up, the positive energy gushes out onto the persons who are there. The water that is sprinkled onto the assemblages passes on the energy to all. This also explains why men are not allowed to wear shirts at a few temples and women are requested to wear more ornaments during temple visits. It is through these jewels (metal) that positive energy is absorbed by the women. Also, it is a practice to leave newly purchased jewels at an idol’s feet and then wear them with the idol’s blessings. This act is now justified after reading this article. This act of “seeking divine blessings” before using any new article, like books or pens or automobiles may have stemmed from this through mere observation.

Energy lost in a day’s work is regained through a temple visit and one is refreshed slightly. The positive energy that is spread out in the entire temple and especially around where the main idol is placed, are simply absorbed by one's body and mind. Did you know, every Vaishnava(Vishnu devotees), “must” visit a Vishnu temple twice every day in their location. Our practices are NOT some hard and fast rules framed by 1 man and his followers or God’s words in somebody’s dreams. All the rituals, all the practices are, in reality, well researched, studied and scientifically backed thesis which form the ways of nature to lead a good healthy life.

The scientific and research part of the practices are well camouflaged as “elder’s instructions” or “granny’s teaching’s” which should be obeyed as a mark of respect so as to once again, avoid stress to the mediocre brains

Swapaanam: A blend of art and love

2014-03-08T10:57:00.001-08:00

It’s either because one expects too much from the master craftsman, Shaji N Karun, or it’s that his previous gems are yet to loosen their magic spell on viewers; no matter what, his latest flick, Swapaanam, comes a cropper compared to his other outings. Nevertheless, it lends some mesmerising moments though the transcended communion of love, life and art. By opening the gateway to explore an untrodden path where a percussion art is blended with a dance form, the director has created an entirely new universe of aesthetics in cinema.

The intensity of the novel experience could have reached a level higher had the story lying beneath been a bit more realistic. In terms of the narrative, there is nothing much deeper than what one gets to comprehend from the discussions that had been doing their rounds prior to the film’s release.

Unni (Jayaram) is a Chenda (a percussion instrument) artist with an ambiguous parentage and a relentless ambition to excel in his art. However, he is always overlooked by his own kin despite his unmatched talent. A naive and submissive artist, he is considered only for supportive roles with the Chenda by his half brothers who generally lead the Chenda melam performances during festivals.

Despite the suppression, the exceptional talents of Unni are soon recognised and he becomes a much sought-after chenda melam performer for festive seasons. Even though a thorough artist, Unni is never able to read the mind of his wife Kalyani (Lakshmi Gopalaswami) or her sensibilities. He could hardly realize that his life was drifting away because of his tryst with destiny that approached him in the form of Nalini (Kadambari), a Mohiniyattam exponent.

When Unni displays his magnificent talent by expressing the nuances of Mohiniyattam on Chenda they experience the marvel of a new world. Nalini instantly falls for him and identifies her own warmth and tender feelings in him. As they further explore their new world, they slip into fathomless emotions borne out of an ethereal blend of their respective arts. It ultimately leads to love that is identified by discovering oneself through the ecstatic fulfilment of art in the other, by exchanging the senses and by becoming one with the other - through an artistic and sensuous communion. It reaches consummation as the two artists let themselves dissolve in each other and joyfully languish in the labyrinths of art and love.

There are some outstanding performances from Siddique as Narayanan Namboothiri, Vineeth as Thuppan Namboothiri and P D Namboothiri as Achuthan. The film reaches the zenith of artistic perfection several times when the visuals, music and sound effects blend together to weave out some exhilarating moments.

Camera by Saji Nair has produced brilliant and unearthly canvases with nature displaying unusual colours. Sreevalsan J Menon’s musical ensembles are sense-soothing feasts and provided marvellous accompaniment to the crests and troughs of emotions. Conforming well to the fusion of arts in the movie, the musical compositions blend Carnatic and modern musical elements extraordinarily well. Forces of nature, which are common in all Shaji N Karun’s movies, are present here too and they are enlivened by brilliant sound designs. The script by Harikrishnan and Sajeev Pazhoor etches out too many moments, which worth the experience.

Shaji N Karun and crew should have kept in mind that all these would have been forever archived in the Classic genre of Malayalam cinema had they taken care of the layout of the storyline and the logic and reasons behind situations. As a movie on art, love and the pangs of love, Swapaanam gives ample room for critics to flourish both for and against it as it makes for a good watch for its artistic sequences that are exuberant. At the same time, the film can also be written off as forgettable with regard to its narrative, which is loose and incoherent.

Consumers can get LPG cylinders without Aadhaar account: Government

2014-02-21T02:48:00.001-08:00

NEW DELHI: Subsidised LPG cylinders can be purchased without having an Aadhaar account, the government informed the Lok Sabha on Friday.

A clarification on delinking Aadhaar account from disbursal of subsidised LPG cylinders would be issued within a week, Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Veerappa Moily said during Question Hour.

"A clarification will be issued within a week," he said. As far as Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) is concerned, Cabinet has decided to delink Aadhar account from disbursal of subsidised LPG cylinders. Now, subsidised cylinders can be purchased without Aadhaar account, Moily said.

He said there have been some problems in DBT programme, mainly related to banks, which have been given Rs 435 per cylinder (for subsidy) which is not enough since the subsidised price of one cylinder has increased to Rs 700.

He also emphasised that the government has not increased the price of subsidised cylinders for consumers.

Under DBT, about 4.86 crore accounts have been made and around 2.06 crore households have received subsidised cylinders.

Regarding Know Your Customer (KYC) norms for LPG connections, the Minister said the government has already issued clarifications regarding multiple connections and would liberally look into the matter if required.

To a query, he said the government would think of a new scheme to ensure that LPG connections reach people, especially to those Below Poverty Line (BPL), at the earliest.

The Minister noted that about 96 per cent of BPL families use less than six LPG cylinders a year on a single family basis.

Noting that about 60 per cent of people are covered by LPG and PNG connections, Moily said the idea is to make the coverage 100 per cent.

The government, if required, is ready to open more outlets and kendras for gas connections, he said.

He also said the government has increased the limit of subsidised LPG cylinders to 12 per year.

When a member requested the minister to provide coupons to MPs so that they can facilitate quicker LPG connections in their respective constituencies to those who are in urgent need of connection, Moily said, "We will consider it".

What the AAP government achieved in 49 days

2014-02-16T10:25:00.000-08:00

The curtains came down on Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi Friday after it failed to table the Jan Lokpal bill in the assembly, ending 49 days of rule. The following are the achievements of the short-lived government:

* Free supply of 667 litres of water daily for households with metered connections.

* Fifty percent subsidy in electricity bills for households which consume up to 400 units of power a month.
* No red or blue beacons on official cars, bringing an end to 'VIP culture'
* All government schools surveyed for infrastructure deficiency and given Rs.1 lakh each for immediate repairs.
* Some 24,000 people exempted from paying 50 percent of their power bills during the period they took part in an AAP campaign against inflated electricity bills.
* Launched anti-corruption and nursery admission helplines.
* New permits given to 5,500 autos.
* Registered first information reports (FIR) against former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit in irregularities in the preparations for the 2010 Commonwealth Games and Petroleum Minister Veerappa Moily, former minister Murli Deora and Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani for allegedly colluding to inflate natural gas prices and raising power bills.
* Ordered audit of Delhi's three power distribution companies.

Finally, it was the opposition not allowing the tabling of the Jan Lokpal bill, one of the AAP's major poll promises, in the Delhi assembly Friday that led to Kejriwal quitting the position he had assumed Dec 28, 2013.

About AK47

2013-09-14T10:29:00.001-07:00

Description:

The original AK was also known as the AK-47. It was a gas-operated, selective-fire weapon. Like all 7.62-mm Kalashnikov assault rifles, it fired the Soviet 7.62 x 39-mm M1943 round and used a standard 30-round curved box magazine. The AK came in two versions: one with a fixed wooden stock, and another, the AKS, with a folding metal stock issued primarily to parachutist and armor troops. Except for the differences in the stock and the lack of a tool kit with the AKS, the two version were identical. The early AKs had no bayonet, but the version with the fixed wooden stock later mounted a detachable knife bayonet.

The improved model, known as the AKM, is easier to produce and operate. It weighs about one kilogram less than the AK. The reduced weight results from using thinner, stamped sheetmetal parts rather than machined, forged steel; laminated wood rather than solid wood in the handguard, forearm, pistol grip, and buttstock; and new lightweight aluminium and plastic magazines. Other improvements include a straighter stock for better control; an improved gas cylinder; a rate-of-fire control alongside the trigger; a rear sight graduated to 1,000 meters rather than 800 meters; and a greatly improved, detachable bayonet.

The AKM also has a folding-stock version, designated AKMS, intended for use by riflemen in armored infantry combat vechicles such as the BMP. Except for its T-shaped, stamped-metal, folding buttstock, the AKMS is identical to the AKM. The folding-stock model can reduce its length from 868 to 699 millimeters.

Capabilities:

All 7.62-mm Kalashnikov assault rifles fire in either semiautomatic or automatic mode and have an effective range of about 300 meters. At full cyclic rate, they can fire about 600 rounds per minute (upto 640 rounds per minute for the AKM), with a practical rate of about 100 rounds per minute fully automatic or 40 rounds per minute semiautomatic. Both the AK and AKM can mount a grenade launcher. Both can have passive image intensifier night sights. Both can function normally after total immersion in mud and water. The fully chromed barrel ensures effective operation even at very low temperatures. The muzzle of either weapon fits into the swiveling firing points of the BMP. Thus, the infantryman can fire the weapon while the vechicle is moving.

Limitations:

The most serious drawback to the AK and AKM is the low muzzle velocity (710 meters per second) of the relatively heavy 7.62-mm round. This results in a looping trajectory that requires a clumsy adjustment for accuracy at ranges beyond 300 meters. The barrel overheats quickly when the weapon fires for extended periods, making the weapon hard to handle and occasionally causing a round to explode prematurely in the chamber. The exposed gas cylinder is easily dented, sometimes causing the weapon to malfunction.

Remarks:

Although they designed it in 1947 and thus referred to it as the AK-47, the Soviets actually adopted the AK in 1949. The AK entered service in 1951. It was the basic individual infantry weapon of the Soviet Army until the introduction of the AKM. The Soviets developed the AKM in 1959. It entered service in 1961. All 7.62-mm Kalashnikov assualt rifles are very dependable weapons. They produce a high volume of fire and are simple to maintain. However, the new 5.45-mm assault rife AK-74 is replacing the 7.62-mm weapons.

The following data comes from Janes Infantry Weapons 1995 - 1996.

Cartridge:	7.62 x 39 mm	Operation:	gas, selective fire
Locking:	rotating bolt	Feed:	30-round detachable box magazine
Weight:	4.3 kg	Length:	869 mm
Barrel:	414 mm	Rifling:	4 grooves, rh, 1 turn in 235 mm
Sights:	fore, post, adjustable; rear, U-notch, tangent	Muzzle velocity:	710 m/s
Rate of fire:	cyclic, 600 rds/min	Effective range:	300 m

Be proud to be an Indian

Year : 2020

Place : Two Americans at IBM, USA

Currency Conversion Rate : INR 1 Rs = USD $ 100

Alex: Hi John, you didn't come yesterday to office?

John: Yeah, I was in Indian Embassy for stamping.

Alex: Oh really, what happened, I heard that nowadays it has become very strict.

John: Yeah, but I managed to get it.

Alex: How long it took to get it stamped?

John: Oh, it was nasty man, long queue. Bill Gates was standing  in front of me and they played with him like anything. That's why it  got delayed. I went there at 2 am itself and waited and returned by 4pm.

Alex: Really? In India, it is a matter of an hour to get stamped for USA

John: Yeah, but that is because who in India will be interested in coming to USA man, their economy has been booming.

Alex: So, when are you leaving?

John: Anytime, after receiving my tickets from the client in India and you know, I will be getting a chance to fly Air-India. Sort of dream come true.

Alex: How long are you going to stay in India.

John: What do you mean by how long? I will be settled in India, my company has promised me that they will process my Hara Patta ..(green card)

Alex: Really, lucky person man, it is very difficult to get a Hara Patta in India.

John: Yeah, that's why, I am planning to marry an Indian girl there.

Alex: But you can find lots of US girls in Hyderabad, Bangalore and Mumbai.

John: But, I prefer Indian girls because they are beautiful and cultured.

Alex: Where did you get the offer, Bangalore?

John: Yeah, salary is good there, but cost of living is quite high, it is Rs. 1000/- for a single room accommodation.

Alex: I see, that's too much for US people, Rs.1/- =$100/-. Oh God! what about in Hyderabad, Mumbai?

John: No idea, but it is less than what we have in Bangalore. It is like the world headquarters of software

Alex: I heard, almost all the Indians are having one personal Robot for help.

John: You can get a BMW car for Rs. 5000/-, and a personal Robot for less than Rs.7500/-. But my dream is to purchase Ambassador, which costs Rs.2,00,000/ - but has got a lovely design.

Alex: By the way, who is your client?

John: Subbanna and Appanna Associates, a pure Indian company, specialising in Embedded Software.

Alex: Oh, really, lucky to work in a pure Indian company. They are really intelligent and unlike American Bodyshoppers who have opened  their Fly-by-night outfits in India. Indian companies pay you in full even when you are on bench. My friend Paul Allen, it seems, used his bench time to visit Bihar, the most liveable place in India, probably world. There you have full freedom and no restrictions. You can do whatever you want! I wonder how that state has perfected that system.

John: Yeah man!, you are right. I hope our America also follows their footsteps.

Alex: How are you going to cope with their language?

John: Why not? From my school days I have been learning Hindi as my first language here at New York. At the Consulate they tested my proficiency in Hindi and were quite impressed by my cent per cent score in TOHIL i.e. Test of Hindi as International Language.

Alex: So, you are going to have fun there.

John: Yeah, I will be travelling in the world's fastest train, world's largest theme park, and the famous Bollywood where you can see actors like, Hrithik, Shah Rukh Khan and all. Esselworld is also near Bollywood.

Alex: You know, the PM is scheduled to visit US next year, he may then relax the number of visas.

John: That's true. Last month, Narayana Murthy visited White House and donated Rs. 2000/- for infrastructure development at Silicon Valley and has promised more if we follow the model of Electronic City in Bangalore. Bill Gates also got a chance of meeting him. Very lucky person.

Alex: But, Indian government is planning to split Narayanamurthy' s Infosys.

John: He is a hard worker man, he can build any number of Infosys like this. Every minute he is getting Rs. 1000/-. It seems, if you  keep all his money converted as Rs. 100/- notes you can reach Pluto.

Alex: OK, Good Luck John.

John: Same to you Alex. And don't go to Consulate in a "Kurta Pyjama" because they will think you are too Indianised and may doubt you will never come back and hence your Non-Immigrant Visa may get rejected. But don't forget to say " Namaste, aap kaise hai " to the Visa officer at Window 5. It seems he likes that and will not give you a   visa if you don't greet
him that way.

Let's hope for this day to come........ ...  Cheers !!!!!!!

Superman and Batman to team up in new movie

2013-07-25T03:09:00.003-07:00

In 2015, Superman and Batman will appear together for the very first time on the big screen, it has been announced.

The two superheroes are to appear in the same film for the very first time, according to Zack Snyder, who directed the most recent Superman film, Man of Steel.

Snyder made the revelation at San Diego's annual comic convention,Comic-Con, stating that production is expected to begin next year, with the film scheduled for release in the summer of 2015.

It will be a sequel to Man of Steel, with Snyder once again directing and British actor Henry Cavill once again playing the part of Superman. There has no been word, however, as to who will play Batman – Christian Bale, the star of the 'Dark Knight' trilogy, having vowed never portray the caped crusader again.

Christopher Nolan, director of the Batman trilogy, will serve as as executive producer on the new film.

Apple launch a cheaper iPhone?

2013-07-23T01:57:00.003-07:00

More and more sources are claiming that the rumoured cheap iPhone may indeed exist. They say that the scaled down model will have a colourful and plastic exterior, lower resolution camera, scaled down version of iOS 7 and so on.

While the premium model will carry on from where iPhone 5 has left off, this cheap model will be slotted a little behind it. For example the premium model may have a 12 MP camera, the rumoured cheap iPhone will come fitted with a 5MP or 8MP camera. It may not even have Retina display--the screen Apple introduced with iPhone 4. It will sell for a reduced price of over Rs 20,000 ($330-$400) as opposed to Rs 45,000 for the top model.

Those who say that the phone may not exist believe that there is no reason for Apple to launch a trimmed down version. By launching a cheaper model Apple will be bringing down its profit. Volume of sales doesn't really matter if there is no great margin for the company. We know Nokia will confirm that!

They point out that the recently leaked images, which are, supposedly, of the outer shell of the rumoured device, lack physical control buttons or even slots. That is not in tune with the iPhone or iPad hardware we are familiar with until now. Unless Apple is going to introduce a totally new way of communicating with the hardware, those pictures may not be genuine.

But those who say that such a device exists argue that Apple has sensed the premium smartphone market has become saturated and that the high end users are not all that enthusiastic in upgrading their devices each year. They also say that the company has realised that the future may be in developing countries like India. So Apple will bring out a compromised solution like this.

Yes, Apple needs cheaper devices if it wants better penetration in price sensitive markets like India.
