Some Thoughts on Education
2008-02-06 18:17:00
Read the quotations below and think how you would answer the questions.EDUCATION?Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive: easy to govern, but impossible to enslave.? [Lord Brougham: in a speech to the House of Commons, 1828]Does the sentence suggest that it?s easier to control uneducated masses?Is it in the interest of those who wield power to keep people ignorant?Do you think that it?s still possible in the 21st century to doubt the benefits of education?LEARNING?A little learning is a dangerous thing.? [Alexander Pope]How would the meaning of the sentence change if it started with ?little learning? instead of ?a little learning??What can be dangerous about ?a little learning??Is ?a little learning? better than ignorance?TEACHING?Nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.? [Oscar Wilde]Which things are worth knowing that cannot be taught?If you were to choose things that you want to know, would they exclude things that you are currently learning?If certain t...

My Samsung Mobile Charger Blown Up
2007-10-31 15:06:00
I bought my samsung SGH-C210 mobile about 1 year and 3 months ago. A few days back I found that its Charger is not working. I opened the charger case since its not covered by warranty(1 year) anymore thinking that there might be some minor fault and I may repair it myself. But I was surprised to find that the main IC has been damaged(as shown in the image) possibly due to heat. Being a moderate cell phone user, I usually charge the phone after a gap of 3 days. Still the IC has been damaged! Wat a BAD LUCK! Charger damaged just after 3 months of the expiry of warranty period. Now I m trying to find out a method to repair the charger without using this IC :)

Vedic Maths Tricks

Multiplying a number by 11: To multiply any 2-digit number by 11 we just put the sum of the two digits between the 2 digits.26 x 11 = 286Notice that the outer digits in 286 are the 26 being multiplied.And the middle digit is just 2 and 6 added up.So 72 x 11 = 792 77 x 11 = 847This involves a carry figure because 7 + 7 = 14We get 77 x 11 = 7147 = 847Similarly, 234 x 11 = 2574We put the 2 and the 4 at the ends. We add the first pair 2 + 3 = 5 and we add the last pair: 3 + 4 = 7.A quick way to square numbers that end in 5 using the formula BY ONE MORE THAN THE ONE BEFORE752 = 5625752 means 75 x 75.The answer is in two parts: 56 and 25.The last part is always 25. The first part is the first number, 7, multiplied by the number "one more", which is 8:so 7 x 8 = 56Similarly, 852 = 7225 because 8 x 9 = 72.Method for dividing by 9: 23 / 9 = 2 remainder 5The first figure of 23 is 2, and this is the answer.The remainder is just 2 and 3 added up!43 / 9 = 4 remainder 7The first figure 4 is the a...

Father of All Bombs
2007-10-12 17:05:00
"Fath er of All Bombs " is the nickname of a Russian-made air-delivered thermobaric weapon that is claimed to be four times more powerful than the U.S. military's GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb (MOAB or the "mother of all bombs"), making it the most powerful publicly-known conventional (non-nuclear) weapon in the world.It was successfully field-tested in the late evening of September 11, 2007, when it was apparently dropped from a Tupolev Tu-160 heavy bomber with a parachute and exploded.Russia says the weapon yields the equivalent of 44 tons of TNT using 7.8 tons of a new type of high explosive, claimed to be created applying "nanotechnology".In comparison, the MOAB produces the equivalent of 11 tons of TNT from 8 tons of high explosive. The blast radius of 300 m is twice as large as the MOAB.Although its effect has been compared to that of a nuclear weapon, it is comparable only to the lowest yield settings of the lowest yield nuclear weapons. The FOAB only has around 0.3...

Our true task in religion

Our true task in religionToday, the definition of religion has changed.It seems that in many cases, a Hinduis not a Hinduanymore,he is anti-Muslimandlikewise, a Muslimis not a Muslim butan anti-Hindu.This explains why a followerof onereligion thinks of himself as not akinto those of another,Onthe contrary,he treats him as his enemy.The teachings of religion havevanishedfrom his vision and the feelings of love,brotherhood andsacrifice,which are the essence of true religion,are overtaken byhatred,enmity and selfishness.Man has forgotten that Godis one and His only expectation fromcreation is love andsacrificefor one's fellow creatures.Those who love their fellow beingslove Him best.He does not wish us to worship Him as an idol.He expectsus to be rational and rationalityde mands goodwill to all fellowbeings,irrespective of caste colour or creed.Obviously in the early days,men of different regions were different in language,features and foodhabits due to geographical factors.But basica...

Mindset
2007-10-10 19:20:00
It's called "Mindset ".As I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages.It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.I saw a trainer near by and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away."Well," he said, "when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free."I was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were.Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply...
