FROGS LIVING INSIDE ROCKS -SO WEIRD


This mummified corpse of a frog was found in a hollow-flint 'geode' which was cracked open in 1899 by some workmen in a quarry in London. There have been many reports of frogs found inside the rocks; some still living in a kind of stupor but which revived once exposed to the air.

In 1910 a living toad was found when a piece of coal was broken open; another was found in 1906 six feet underground in a solid layer of clay piece. The most commonly found seem to be stuck inside limestone.

The theory is that a small tad-pole somehow enters a crack in a forming nodule or pocket and gets trapped in there as it grows. As it does, the smell attracts tiny insects which feed the toad and keep it always alive. Through this crack also comes water and air. This is fine for some of the many examples that have been found but makes no sense in cases where live frogs have been found in totally sealed or deeply buried pockets.

Some frogs have been found with the impression of their bodies so tightly jammed against the rock 'pocket' that even the skin's crackles can be seen imprinted on the sides of their frog-shaped hole ,meaning the rock formed around them somehow.

IT'S TIME TO FLY !!!


The magical device may owe more to Walt Disney than to The Arabian Nights , but it is not pure fantasy, according to Lakshmi narayanan Mahadevan , Research scientist of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and also his co-workers.
The researchers have studied that the aero-dynamics of a flexible, rippling sheet moving through a fluid, and find that it should be possible to make one that will stay aloft in air. It is simply mind blowing.No such a cool carpet is going to ferry people around, though.

The researchers say that to stay afloat in air, a sheet measuring about 10 centimetres long and 0.1 millimetres thick would need to vibrate at about a frequency of 10 hertz with an amplitude of about 0.25 millimetres in it.Making a heavier and harder carpet "fly" is not forbidden by the laws of physics.
But the researchers say that their "computations and scaling laws suggest it will remain in the magical, mystical and virtual realm", as this engine driving the necessary vibrations would need to be so powerful than the normal.

The key to a magic carpet is to create up-lift by making ripples that push against fluids such as air or water. If it is close to a horizontal surface, like a piece of foil settling down onto the floor, such rippling movements create a more high pressure in gap between the sheet and the floor.

"As waves propagate along a flexible foil, they generate a fluid flow that leads to a pressure that lifts the sheet or foil, roughly balancing its own weight," Mahadevan explains.
"If the waves propagate from one edge," says Mahadevan, "this causes the foil to tilt ever so slightly and then move in one of the direction towards the edge that is slightly higher. Fluid is then squeezed from this end to the other end, causing the sheet to progress like a submarine ray."

To travel at speed, the carpet have to undulate in big ripples, comparable to the size of the carpet. This would make the ride very bumpy and thrilling.

"If you want a smooth ride, you can generate a lot of small ripples," says Mahadevan. "But you'll be slower in it."

STOP SMOKING PLEASE !!!


Being a smoker is like cycling with stabilizers attached to the wheels, you can find it very hard to be balanced with out smoking. Now, when you cycle freely again, the natural balance returns.

When people smoke, more than half of what they breathe is fresh air - pulled through the cigarette right down into the lungs. So if you feel any cravings you can instantly overcome them by taking three deeper breaths. Imagine breathing from that space just below your belly button. Whenever you do this you put more oxygen into your bloodstream. This means you can use deep breaths to change the way you feel instantly and give you power over the way you feel and help you let go of those old cravings and thus making it easier to stop smoking.

Next, think now of all the reasons you don’t like smoking, the reasons that it is bad and the reasons you want to stop smoking. Write down the key words on a piece of paper. For example, you experience breathless ness, it is dirty, filthy and your clothes smell, your friends and family are concerned and it’s expensive, unsociable and so on. Then, on the other side of the paper, write down all the reasons why you will feel good when you’ve succeeded in stopping. You’ll feel healthier, you’ll feel in control of your self, your senses are enhanced, your cool hair and clean clothes will smell fresher and so on. Whenever you need to, look at that piece of paper.All the very best !!!

TOP GUITAR PLAYERS AROUND THE WORLD !!!



1. Jimi Hendrix - At one point, JIMI Hendrix couldn't get a break in Nashville, and he has ended his backup days with Little Richard in a contract dispute. He quickly realized, however, the value of innovation in playing guitar, as well as in putting on a stage show that fans would remember forever. Many fans claimed that he was the greatest guitarist ever to pick up the instrument. At the very least of his creative drive, technical ability and such cool effects as wah-wah and distortion for ever transformed the sound of the rock and roll. It was his cool innovation, and his ability to play his guitar in any position with any body part, that consistently placed him as one of the top rated guitarists ever. Amazing right ?

2. Eric Clapton - Mr. Clapton cannot only brag that he is considered one of the greatest rock guitarists and as one of the greatest blues guitarists, but also that he has drawn huge crowds for his classical guitar concerts all over the world. His playing style is smooth and chords almost seem to flow from his fingertips.

3. Robert Johnson - Recorded his own songs for the first time on November 23, 1936 in San Antonio, in Texas. Although modern guitar players will often complain that Robert Johnson was out of time, out of tune, and people cannot understand his vocals, style of playing was unlike any thing else at the time, and set to the pace for future generations of blues players. Johnson is also the guitar player often accused of having made the deal at the cross -roads, selling his soul to the devil in order to be able to play the instrument.

4. Eddie Van Halen - The lightning speed of fingers and innovative sounds of Eddie Van Halen's guitar are easily recognizable. They are even more impressive when taking into consideration that he is completely self taught, having never had any type of lesson from others. It has often been said, that it is easy for Eddie to be creative in his playing techniques because he was never told by anyone how he could or could not play.

5. Stevie Ray Vaughan - Being Born on October 3 1954 , in the Oak Cliff Section of Dallas in Texas. Easily one of the most well known modern blues guitarists, Vaughan's music seemed to be pulled from the depths of his soul at that times. While his playing was smooth, it was the sheer amount of emotion in every note of music that drew people to his music.

SOME FAMOUS BRAND NAMES- WHERE THEY CAME FROM ?

Adobe - It came from the name of the river Adobe Creek that ran behind the house of founder John Warnock.

Apache - It got it's cool name because its founders got started by applying patchesto code written for NCSA's http daemon. The result was 'A PAtCHy' server - thus, the name Apache
Apple Computers - favorite fruit of founder Steve Jobs. He was three months late in filing a name for the business, and he had threatened to call his company Apple Computers if the other colleagues did not suggest a better name by 5 o'clock.

CISCO - it's not an acronym but the short name for San Francisco.

Google - the name started as a jokey boast about the amount of information the search engine would be able to search. It was originally named the 'Googol',a word for the number represented by 1 followed by 100 zeros. After the founders,Stanford grad students Sergey Brin and Larry Page presented their project to an angel investor, they received a cheque made out to 'Google'.So ,they renamed it as 'Google'.

Hotmail - It's Founder Jack Smith got the idea of accessing e-mail via the web from a computer any where around the world. When Sabeer Bhatia came up with the business plan for this mail service, he tried all kinds of names ending in 'mail' and finally settled for hotmail as it included the letters "html" - the programming language used to write web pages. It was initially referred to as HoTMaiL with selective upper casing.

HP - Mr.Bill Hewlett and Mr.Dave Packard tossed a coin to decide whether the company they founded would be called Hewlett-Packard or the Packard-Hewlett.
Intel - Mr. Bob Noyce and Gordon Moore wanted to name their new company 'Moore Noyce' but that was already trade-marked by a hotel chain, so they had to settle for an acronym of INTegrated ELectronics. called 'Intel'

Lotus (Notes) - Mitch Kapor got the name for his company from 'The Lotus Position' or 'Padmasana'. Kapor used to be a teacher of Transcendental Meditation (by Maharishi sri Mahesh Yogi).

Microsoft - coined by Bill Gates to represent the company that was devoted to MICRO computer SOFT ware. Originally christened Micro-Soft, the '-' was removed later on.

Motorola - Founder Paul Galvin came up with this name when his company started manufacturing radios for cars. The popular radio company at the time was called Victrola.

ORACLE - Larry Ellison and Bob Oats were working on a consulting project for the CIA . The code name for the project was called Oracle

Red Hat - Company founder Marc Ewing was given the Cornell lacrosse team cap (with red and white stripes) while at college by his grandfather. He lost it and had to search for it desperately. The manual of the beta version of Red Hat Linux had an appeal to readers to return his Red Hat if found by anyone !

SAP - "Systems, Applications, Products in Data Processing", formed by 4 ex-IBM employees who used to work in the 'Systems/Applications/Projects"etc

SUN - founded by 4 Stanford University buddies, SUN is the acronym for Stanford University Network. cool right ?

Xerox - The inventor, Mr.Chestor Carlson, named his product trying to say 'dry' (asit was dry copying, markedly different from the prevailing wet copying).The Greek root 'xer' means dry.

Yahoo! - the word was invented by Jonathan Swift and used in his book 'Gulliver's Travels'. It represents a person who is repulsive in appearance and action and is barely human. Yahoo! founders Jerry Yang and David Filo selected the name because they considered themselves yahoos. Amazing ...!!!!

WAYS FOR LOSING YOUR WEIGHT-A MUST READ



Hi friends If you are trying to loss some body weight, but if you are failing to pay attention to your water intake, you are making things much difficult than they actually have to be. Here are some of the reasons why any one hoping to burn off the fat and get slim needs to get a healthy dose of water every single day.

1. Water Helps you Feel Full

There are lots things you can consume to feel full, but only one has zero calories(water). Pounding down water constantly will reduce hunger pangs give you the willpower to stick to your diet.

2. Water Will Help You Think Straight

Ever go reach a point in the day, usually the early afternoon, when all of sudden it feels your energy just drains from you and you can’t seem to concentrate on your work. It’s not a sign of a declining mind, your brain probably is just lacking the water it needs to function at its peak. And since living healthily usually requires a lifestyle adjustment and a change from your usual routine, you need to keep your brain as healthy as possible. . You are more likely to remember an appointment with your personal trainee.
3. Water Will Help You Digest Your Foods More Efficiently

While you are trying to lose weight, you want the food you eat to get converted into muscle and energy as much as possible. To make this happen, you have to have a strong, efficient digestive system and a strong metabolism. And that just is not possible if you are de--hydrated. If your body lacks sufficient hydration, your body will struggle to digest all the foods you eat, and therefore more will be turned into fat.

4. Water Will Help Keep You From Getting Sick

If you don’t get enough liquid to drink, you might suffer from something called “Chronic Cellular Dehydration,” where your cells are weaker due to being constantly dehydrated. This will weaken your immune system, which will make your body more likely to become ill. And nothing can put a damper on a fitness plans like a cold or flu. When you are sick, you are more likely to skip the work outs and eat “comfort foods” to feel more better. Drinking enough water gives your cells all they need to effectively fight the infection.

5. Water Will Increase Your Liver’s Fat Burning Potential

If you are trying to lose some weight, you should take extra good care of your liver, because that is the organ that helps you to burn fat and convert them into energy. When you don’t drink enough water, it weakens the whole liver, which means that your body’s fat burning powers slow down.

6. Water Will Improve Your Blood Circulation

The more the oxygen you have in your blood stream, the more the fat you are able to burn. How do you increase the level of oxygen in your blood stream? You guessed it, by drinking a plenty of water. That extra burst of oxygen will help you on two fronts: it will help you burn the fat faster and give you extra energy for more intense workouts.

GREAT SPITTING COBRA- TERRIBLE !!!




















This is really interesting and terrible .A new species of giant spitting cobra, measuring nearly nine feet and possessing enough venom to kill at least 15 people, has been discovered in Kenya.Wild life Direct said the cobras were the world's largest and had been identified as unique. The species has been named Naja Ashei after James Ashe, who founded the Bio Ken snake farm on Kenya's tropical coast where the gigantic serpents are found.
"A new species of giant spitting cobra is exciting and reinforces the obvious , that there have to be many other un reported species but hundreds are being lost as their habitats disappear under the continued mis management of our planet -The earth," said the group's chairman.
Ashe, now deceased, was the first to catch a larger than normal spitting cobra in the 1960s and suggest it belonged to a different species of snakes.Really terrible !!!

TOP 9 UNIQUE STRUCTURES THAT GONNA BE BUILT SOON

Below are the 9 strange and unique structures that have either been approved or are on the final stages of approval. some of them have already been partially constructed.

1. aqua, usa

from a distance this cool skyscraper, that to be completed in 2009 in Chicago, it will seem quite traditional. it’ll only be when you get close and look up that you can appreciate the jelly effect created by variously sized balconies from top to bottom of this building.

2. Chicago spire, usa

The phenomenal Chicago spire, when completed in 2010, will be the world’s tallest residential building and tallest building of any kind around the western world. seemingly modeled on the image of a giant drill poking through the earth, the 609m structure will dominate the Chicago skyline.

3. cctv headquarters, china (website)

At a modest 234m the cctv building isn’t going to stand out from a distance. however the design and shape is to say the least and will be another incredible addition to Beijing’s skyline in time for their 2008 olympics. the shape, described as a ‘z criss-cross’ results in a very high, seemingly unsupported corner at the front of the building. let’s hope there’s a glass floor up there.

4. regatta hotel, jakarta

Taking on a nautical theme, the developers say the 10 smaller towers represent sailing boats whilst the larger building is ‘the lighthouse’. it’s a lighthouse that steals the show for me, possibly the most incredible looking structure i’ve seen for a long time.

5. Residence antilia, india

Construction has begun on residence Antilia despite opposition from those who see it as an ‘excessive’ design in a city (mumbai) where more than 65% of the population live in slums. politics aside and after you recover from the initial shock of seeing a skyscraper that resembles an ikea cd rack, the building actually looks like it may succeed as a stunning, unique, green piece of architecture. It will rock soon

6. Russia tower, russia

Topped with an observation deck over the city of Moscow,the Russia tower will become the tallest building in Europe when completed atleast in 2012 and twice the height of the Eiffel tower. construction has already started on this angular beast which was designed by foster & partners, also responsible for the gherkin and spaceport America, currently in the development.

7. penang global city centre, malaysia (website)

Following some months of speculation and sturdy opposition, this humungeous project is in the final stages of approval and apparently construction will start very soon. even so, due to the size of the plan it will take at least 14 years to complete.

8. Gazprom headquarters, Russia

The gigantic, 300m tall glass flame of a building will house the gazprom headquarters in st. petersburg, dwarfing all structures in its vicinity. it will apparently change colour up to 10 times per day depending on the position of the sun. the building has already been nicknamed ‘corn on the cob’ by unhappy locals.

9. burj dubai, dubai (website)

This is gonna be the big one among all. when completed next year it will be the tallest man made structure in the world and the tallest building by a long shot with a predicted height of 818m. note: currently the tallest building on earth, excluding an antenna, is taipei 101 in taiwan which stands at 509m. the photo below is the building’s current state: the skyscrapers below the burj dubai used to look tall.

SCARY FACTS U SHOULD KNOW .....

*If you sneeze too hard, you can fracture a rib. If you try to suppress a sneeze, you can rupture a blood vessel in your head or neck and die.

*Nearly a third of all bottled drinking water purchased in the US is contaminated with bacteria.

*Rats multiply so quickly that in 18 months, two rats could have over 1 million descendents.

*You are more likely to be struck by lightning than to be eaten by a shark.

*You are more likely to be infected by flesh-eating bacteria than you are to be struck by lightning.

*If you urinate when swimming in a South American river, you may encounter the candiru. Drawn to warmth, this tiny fish is known to follow a stream of urine to its source, swim inside the body, and flare it's barbed fins. It will remain firmly embedded in the flesh until surgically removed.

*When a pilot light in a gas barbecue fails to ignite the gas jets properly, it is easy for you to inhale gas accidentally while trying to light it by hand. If this has happened, when the match does light, sometimes a trail of flame will blaze from the jet onto your mouth, filling your lungs with fire. Oddly enough, you would suffocate before burning to death as the flame could consume the oxygen in every breath you would take.

*The soft plastic headphones used on airplanes create a warm, moist environment in the ear canal that is ideal for breeding bacteria. Wearing headphones for just an hour will increase the bacteria in your ear by 700 times.

*On a plane, if the passenger in your seat on the incoming flight had serious gas, then you are sitting on a cushion full of disease-causing microbes.

*Homely criminals get 50% longer jail sentences, on average, than good-looking criminals.
