Rahman has done a service without making any publicity. Film circles are buzzing about this help done by Rahman. There is a society formed amongst the Tamil Film Cinema circle. It is a very old society. When it was started, all musicians from Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, andhra were members of it. At one stage, it got disintegrated, and people from other states other than Tamilnadu got separated. And so, only musicians from Tamil Nadu stayed in the end.<br /><br />There were people who had Music Knowledge and experience, but as people became old, the society couldnt function as before, and slowly stopped functioning. All the musicians also became debt ridden.<br /><br />Amongst those musicians, 100 people above 50 years were selected, Rahman had given them Rs 25,000 each. By doing this, Rahman has not only supported the musicians, but also music. When asked some musicians, they replied , " Without His permission, we cannot give a public interview on this, which would be like tarnishing the service done by Rahman". Thus saying they stopped giving the interview.<br /><br />When contacted the Chennai Light Musicians Leader Raghuraj chakravarthy, he said , " Senior Musicians, that too people who have dedicated themselves for music have been suffering in life. Knowing this, and being unable to bear this pain, He has supported them, which is a very proud effort. We could have arranged a very big function for this. But, if we would have done like that, the very purpose of he doing this would not have been served. He has done this without any propaganda which is a very big deed".<br /><br />" Rahman felt very bad, when he heard about about these musicians, who have been hit badly in their lives. He wanted to help them in some way or the other. So, he decided to initially assist 100 people, ( people who are old enough), and thus putting faith on his close associate he dediced the list of people to be helped. He drew a cheque of Rs 25,000 /- on each and every person out of that 100 list. He called the people concerned and distributed to them. He had done this so that the monies will reach the right people, at the right time, with the right amount. He had clearly told them, not to publicise this, and had even requested about this.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">The Highlight of this topic is the humble nature of ARR, and his attitude of not creating any sort of publicity for doing such a wonderful act. This is really a quality to be adored, respected and imbibed for any true Rahmaniac.</span>Sriramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12485804606824836361noreply@blogger.com26tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2789055447194814230.post-32110741582710142972008-04-18T13:45:00.000+05:302008-04-18T13:46:27.097+05:30Apophis: The Asteroid That Could Smash Into The Earth on Friday, April 13th, 2036<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/99942_Apophis" onclick="window.location.href='http://www.deepastronomy.com/cgi-bin/counter.pl?url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F99942_Apophis&referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.deepastronomy.com%2Fapophis-asteroid-could-hit-earth.html'; return false;">Apophis is an asteroid</a> with an slightly offset orbit to that of Earth's. Discovered in June 2004, astronomers have determined that it will make a very close flyby on April 13th, 2029, where it will pass to within 5 Earth diameters of us. The exact path the asteroid follows on its flyby in 2029 will determine whether it smashes into the Earth seven years later. <br /><br /> <div class="video"> <a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 0px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-03816461818588458 visible ontop" href="http://www.archive.org/download/EarthImpact/EarthImpactSml.mov"></a><object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" height="159" width="192"> <param name="src" value="http://www.archive.org/download/EarthImpact/EarthImpactSml.mov"> <param name="autoplay" value="true"> <param name="controller" value="true"> <embed src="http://www.archive.org/download/EarthImpact/EarthImpactSml.mov" autoplay="true" controller="true" pluginspace="http://quicktime.apple.com/" bgcolor="#000000" height="159" width="192"></embed> </object> <p>Earth impact animation (8 sec)<br />Credit: <i><a href="http://www.esa.int/" onclick="window.location.href='http://www.deepastronomy.com/cgi-bin/counter.pl?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.esa.int&referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.deepastronomy.com%2Fapophis-asteroid-could-hit-earth.html'; return false;">ESA</a>/<a href="http://www.spacetelescope.org/" onclick="window.location.href='http://www.deepastronomy.com/cgi-bin/counter.pl?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spacetelescope.org&referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.deepastronomy.com%2Fapophis-asteroid-could-hit-earth.html'; return false;">Hubble</a><br />(M. Kornmesser & L. L. Christensen)</i></p> </div> In 2004, it was first thought that the asteroid would hit us in the first flyby in 2029. The initial calculation for the orbit was made using only two sets of observations, those made in June and a subsequent set made in December. <br /><br /> From those observations, astronomers calculated a 1-in-200 chance that the asteroid would hit the Earth. If this was true, then this asteroid had become the most dangerous asteroid ever found. After taking more observations , the chances climbed even higher and by the end of December 2004, <b>the chances of the Earth being struck by this asteroid climbed as high as 1-in-37.</b> <br /><br /> Normally, when more observations are taken the chances of this kind of collision decrease. Not so here, it seemed like this thing was really going to hit us. <br /><br /> Luckily, some other observations from other sources were located and they allowed astronomers to calculate a more precise orbit. From those images they were able to conclude that there was no way that Apophis was going to hit the Earth.

Nokia Research Center and the University of Cambridge (UK) have put a lot of effort into creating the Morph.<br /><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t260/noman_87/2-7.jpg" alt="Image" title="Image" border="0" /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t260/noman_87/1-41.jpg" alt="Image" title="Image" border="0" /><br /><br />The Morph is mobile handset indeed, but there's more to it. It's a nanotechnology-driven concept device, which is on display at the New York Museum of Modern Art for a taster of the time when today's super gadgets will be museum exhibits of prehistoric knowledge.<br /><br />The Morph is a concept that shows what nanotechnology can bring to mobile devices: flexible materials, transparent electronics and self-cleaning surfaces. Stretchable and foldable, transformable to any shape a user can think of, Morph is the ultimate transformers gadget changing its shape according to the user's wishes. One day you have a bracelet, the next - you are up with a QWERTY device for messaging.<br /><br /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t260/noman_87/3-6.jpg" alt="Image" title="Image" border="0" /><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t260/noman_87/4-4.jpg" alt="Image" title="Image" border="0" /><br /><br />Featured in The Museum of Modern Art “Design and The Elastic Mind” exhibition, the Morph concept device is a bridge between highly advanced technologies and their potential benefits to end-users. This device concept showcases some revolutionary leaps being explored by Nokia Research Center (NRC) in collaboration with the Cambridge Nanoscience Centre (United Kingdom) – nanoscale technologies that will potentially create a world of radically different devices that open up an entirely new spectrum of possibilities.<br /><br />Morph concept technologies might create fantastic opportunities for mobile devices:<br /><br /> * Newly-enabled flexible and transparent materials blend more seamlessly with the way we live<br /> * Devices become self-cleaning and self-preserving<br /> * Transparent electronics offering an entirely new aesthetic dimension<br /> * Built-in solar absorption might charge a device, whilst batteries become smaller, longer lasting and faster to charge<br /> * Integrated sensors might allow us to learn more about the environment around us, empowering us to make better choices<br /><br /><br />In addition to the advances above, the integrated electronics shown in the Morph concept could cost less and include more functionality in a much smaller space, even as interfaces are simplified and usability is enhanced. All of these new capabilities will unleash new applications and services that will allow us to communicate and interact in unprecedented ways.<br />Flexible & Changing Design<br /><br />Morph Phone Operating<br /><br />Nanotechnology enables materials and components that are flexible, stretchable, transparent and remarkably strong. Fibril proteins are woven into a three dimensional mesh that reinforces thin elastic structures. Using the same principle behind spider silk, this elasticity enables the device to literally change shapes and configure itself to adapt to the task at hand.<br /><br />A folded design would fit easily in a pocket and could lend itself ergonomically to being used as a traditional handset. An unfolded larger design could display more detailed information, and incorporate input devices such as keyboards and touch pads.<br /><br />Even integrated electronics, from interconnects to sensors, could share these flexible properties. Further, utilization of biodegradable materials might make production and recycling of devices easier and ecologically friendly.<br />Self-Cleaning<br /><br />Nanotechnology also can be leveraged to create self-cleaning surfaces on mobile devices, ultimately reducing corrosion, wear and improving longevity. Nanostructured surfaces, such as “Nanoflowers” naturally repel water, dirt, and even fingerprints utilizing effects also seen in natural systems.<br />Advanced Power Sources<br /><br />Nanotechnology holds out the possibility that the surface of a device will become a natural source of energy via a covering of “Nanograss” structures that harvest solar power. At the same time new high energy density storage materials allow batteries to become smaller and thinner, while also quicker to recharge and able to endure more charging cycles.<br />Sensing The Environment<br /><br />Nanosensors would empower users to examine the environment around them in completely new ways, from analyzing air pollution, to gaining insight into bio-chemical traces and processes. New capabilities might be as complex as helping us monitor evolving conditions in the quality of our surroundings, or as simple as knowing if the fruit we are about to enjoy should be washed before we eat it. Our ability to tune into our environment in these ways can help us make key decisions that guide our daily actions and ultimately can enhance our health.Sriramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12485804606824836361noreply@blogger.com337tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2789055447194814230.post-58770579014937465482008-04-18T00:33:00.000+05:302008-04-18T00:39:28.940+05:30ARR concert on April 20th<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ne1l6VNkuLM&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ne1l6VNkuLM&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>Sriramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12485804606824836361noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2789055447194814230.post-78798394412649363682008-04-15T21:47:00.002+05:302008-04-15T22:05:25.076+05:30A good food recipe siteI was looking to try out something new in my kitchen so searched for some good recipe sites on the net.I came across this cool recipe site called <a href="http://www.foodconnect.com">foodconnect.com</a> which houses good recipes.This is the neatest site!

Everything in this bus is moving at the same speed including the air,<br />every single molecule. This means all air molecules move with the same speed as<br />the bus. So a mosquito flying inside the bus only has to deal with movements<br />relative to the surrounding air inside the bus.<br /><br />During acceleration or deceleration this is much more difficult. The mosquito<br />probably would not be able to stay on its course - similarly to a passenger in a<br />train, who tries to stand still while the train starts moving or while it is<br />stopping.<br /><br />Also things change dramatically if the bus becomes an open system. Take out the<br />front windshield and your mosquito will not fly anymore.<br /><br />By the way, we also can see our earth as the bus we are all sitting in. Earth has<br />a distance from the sun of about 150 million kilometers and moves around the sun<br />within one year. To do so the earth must have an average speed of more than<br />100000 kilometers per hour (76000 miles per hour). Still we can walk, drive, sit<br />.... because we experience our earth as closed reference system.<br /></pre>Sriramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12485804606824836361noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2789055447194814230.post-60180516333043908542008-03-11T20:37:00.000+05:302008-03-11T20:38:28.112+05:30Rahman composes airport song for Hyderabad<p align="justify">The new airport in Hyderabad at Shamshabad will have a song of its own, like most corporate companies do these days. </p> <p align="justify">So, GMR has roped in the likes of AR Rahman and Prasoon Joshi to do the honours.

Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger was so incensed by the tackle that he called for Birmingham defender Taylor to be banned from football for life, although he later retracted his initial thoughts.<br /><br />Wenger said: "On reflection, I feel that my comments about Martin Taylor were excessive. I said what I did immediately after the game in the heat of the moment. It was a highly emotional afternoon and we were all shocked by the injury to Eduardo." The Arsenal coach's original allegations, however, were such that even Birmingham felt the need to issue their own statement to defend their own player. "The club are saddened that such a fantastic game of football has been marred by a serious injury sustained to Arsenal player Eduardo. But Martin Taylor is adamant there was no malicious intent," the statement read.<br />Croatia, meanwhile, are coming to terms with losing their star player for the upcoming Euro 2008 finals. Eduardo played a key role in ensuring Croatia's progress to this summer's championships and finished the qualifying campaign with 10 goals in 12 matches - the second-best goalscorer of the competition behind Northern Ireland's David Healy.<br /><br />The injury has come as a huge blow to coach Slaven Bilic. However, the former West Ham player has said there are more important matters to be concerned with. He said: "This is horrible. The fact he won't play at the Euros is less important - most important is that he recovers as soon as possible and resumes his footballing career. "He is a great guy. Of course I will visit him very soon, trying to cheer him up." Croatia captain Niko Kovac, meanwhile, said he did not want to contemplate how long Eduardo could be out for, but had no sympathy for Taylor. "I can't believe this happened. Also, I can't believe such brutality still exists in football."<br /><br />Croatian team doctor Zoran Bahtijarevic said: "Obviously, Eduardo won't be able to join us at the Euros, but that's least important now. As a great friend and sportsman, he will be missed until his return." Arsenal are expected to make a statement tomorrow on their player's condition but today expressed their gratitude to the staff at Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham.</div></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="genmed" height="40" valign="bottom"><span class="postdetails"></span><br /></td></tr></tbody></table>Sriramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12485804606824836361noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2789055447194814230.post-34501530362326952172008-02-23T21:50:00.001+05:302008-02-23T21:50:19.429+05:30The super-charged grandmother whose touch blows up kettlesor most of us, making a cup of tea is one of life's simpler tasks.<br /><br />For Mavis Price, however, it is fraught with danger - because she can blow up kettles just by touching them.<br /><br />The 60- year- old grandmother seems to have a freakishly high level of static electricity coursing through her body.<br /><br />She estimates she has destroyed 15 kettles in the last few years. Housework has also become a problem, with 20 irons and ten vacuum cleaners biting the dust after falling foul of her apparently supercharged touch.<br /><br />And her friends and family are often left with their hair standing on end after touching her.<br /><br />Mrs Price says her bizarre condition also means she cannot keep a computer in her house because they go berserk at the brush of her hand.<br /><br />"I am just an electrifying person really, who seems to build up an unusual amount of static," she said. "People have suggested going to the doctor, but I don't know what they would be able to do.<br /><br />"It is all a bit mind-boggling really. No one has ever been able to offer me an explanation to why this happens to me. I seem to carry far more electricity than normal people.<br /><br />"People can often get electric shocks just by standing next to me. My grandson sometimes tells me off for holding his hand, because he gets a short, sharp shock from me.<br /><br />"It doesn't just happen at my house either. When I go to my daughter's house, the television crackles as I walk past it and people's hair stands on end by touching me or standing next to me.<br /><br />"I think the only option might be to wear a diving suit, rubber gloves and wellingtons."<br /><br />Widow Mrs Price says her unusual experiences began more than 50 years ago and she has been causing havoc ever since.<br /><br />The retired community development worker, from Telford, Shropshire, added: "I first noticed it back in the 1950s when I plugged in a television set and ended up blowing up the television and flying across the room.<br /><br />"Since then, I have spent thousands of pounds on new household goods every few months. When I take them back to the shop to try and explain, I always get told they have stopped working due to wear and tear. But how can a kettle stop working after just a few months? It's ridiculous.<br /><br />"I had a really bad day last week where I got up, turned the light on, and managed to blow the fuse. Then I went to the supermarket and broke the checkout.<br /><br />"They had to close the checkout down and said nothing like it had ever happened before.<br /><br />"Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse I went to get some photographs printed and managed to completely freeze the whole machine."<br /><br />Mrs Price said her electro-curse can create such mayhem that she was once unable to finish a training course.<br /><br />"I went on an IT course, but it was a nightmare because every time I touched the computer it would either freeze or shut down.<br /><br />"The technician had to constantly come over to my machine to see what was wrong and he was completely baffled."Sriramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12485804606824836361noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2789055447194814230.post-5192650369969643812008-02-23T18:16:00.000+05:302008-02-23T18:18:51.075+05:30Jackie Chan and Kamal<p align="justify">International star Jackie Chan was quite surprised on watching Ulaga Naayagan Kamal Haasan’s ten different get-ups in 'Dasavadharam'. The get ups were shown to him when the unit went to invite him to the audio release function. Jackie, it is said, had wondered saying that “Is it the same man appearing in so many roles?”</p> <p align="justify">Earlier, these get-ups were also appreciated by two VIPs in Tamil Nadu. One was the CM Kalaignar M. karunanidhi and the other was Kamal’s long time friend superstar Rajinikanth. </p> Recently a budding star got a chance to see all those get-ups. Kamal has shown them in AVM dubbing theatre to his daughter Shruthi Haasan.

So we can project forward to the future and say that by the time the Jetsons are around most people will have some for of cosmetic surgery.And why not? Some people seem to have an odd opinion of cosmetic surgery, as if in some way it is cheating. But it works. It makes people look good, and we all benefit from that. Plus the people who have the work done do it to change something about themselves for the better, which is something that surely should be valued in a person. Plus, if it makes them feel better about themselves it has served a very good purpose.Have a look at www.rdps.com to see about <a href="http://www.rdps.com/breast-augmentation-beverly-hills.html">Beverly Hills breast augmentation</a>. They have offices and a surgery center built to provide superb care for the plastic surgery patients.They are on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, so if you are in the market for <a href="http://www.plasticsurgerytravel.net/">cosmetic surgery travel</a>, that would be a great destination.You hear a lot of horror stories from people who have travelled to some Eastern European country to have plastic surgery on the cheep. They get the work but sometimes the after care is so bad they have to travel home before they should and if things go wrong it's them up to their own doctors to try and fix it.Whereas <a href="http://www.losangeles-plasticsurgery.info/">california cosmetic surgeon</a>s are the experts. They pay attention to providing outstanding service.They have been mentioned on the TV show Access Hollywood, and in magazines like Elle, Fortune and The Wall Street Journal. Why, even in little old Britain the Daily Mail ran a piece on them.<br />So check out these links,they are bound to be of some help if you're interested in cosmetic surgery and liposuction.Sriramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12485804606824836361noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2789055447194814230.post-21821848139175985102008-02-22T10:53:00.004+05:302008-02-22T10:58:32.517+05:30A novel way of hackingFound this interesting piece of news:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/?p=1257">SOURCE</a><br /><br /><br /><p style="font-style: italic;">Today eight colleagues and I are releasing a significant new <a href="http://citp.princeton.edu/memory">research result</a>. We show that disk encryption, the standard approach to protecting sensitive data on laptops, can be defeated by relatively simple methods. We demonstrate our methods by using them to defeat three popular disk encryption products: BitLocker, which comes with Windows Vista; FileVault, which comes with MacOS X; and dm-crypt, which is used with Linux. The research team includes J. Alex Halderman, Seth D. Schoen, Nadia Heninger, William Clarkson, William Paul, Joseph A. Calandrino, Ariel J. Feldman, Jacob Appelbaum, and Edward W. Felten.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Our <a href="http://citp.princeton.edu/memory">site</a> has links to the paper, an explanatory video, and other materials.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">The root of the problem lies in an unexpected property of today’s DRAM memories. DRAMs are the main memory chips used to store data while the system is running. Virtually everybody, including experts, will tell you that DRAM contents are lost when you turn off the power. But this isn’t so. Our research shows that data in DRAM actually fades out gradually over a period of seconds to minutes, enabling an attacker to read the full contents of memory by cutting power and then rebooting into a malicious operating system. </p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Interestingly, if you cool the DRAM chips, for example by spraying inverted cans of “canned air” dusting spray on them, the chips will retain their contents for much longer. At these temperatures (around -50 °C) you can remove the chips from the computer and let them sit on the table for ten minutes or more, without appreciable loss of data. Cool the chips in liquid nitrogen (-196 °C) and they hold their state for hours at least, without any power. Just put the chips back into a machine and you can read out their contents.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">This is deadly for disk encryption products because they rely on keeping master decryption keys in DRAM. This was thought to be safe because the operating system would keep any malicious programs from accessing the keys in memory, and there was no way to get rid of the operating system without cutting power to the machine, which “everybody knew” would cause the keys to be erased. </p> <p style="font-style: italic;">Our results show that an attacker can cut power to the computer, then power it back up and boot a malicious operating system (from, say, a thumb drive) that copies the contents of memory. Having done that, the attacker can search through the captured memory contents, find any crypto keys that might be there, and use them to start decrypting hard disk contents. We show very effective methods for finding and extracting keys from memory, even if the contents of memory have faded somewhat (i.e., even if some bits of memory were flipped during the power-off interval). If the attacker is worried that memory will fade too quickly, he can chill the DRAM chips before cutting power.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">There seems to be no easy fix for these problems. Fundamentally, disk encryption programs now have nowhere safe to store their keys. Today’s Trusted Computing hardware does not seem to help; for example, we can defeat BitLocker despite its use of a Trusted Platform Module.</p> <p style="font-style: italic;">For more details, see the <a href="http://citp.princeton.edu/memory">paper site</a>.</p>That sounds amazing doesn't it.I've read about forcing into the DRAM to find such data using software,but this altogether takes a different perspective on hacking,something which I'm fairly sure,it totally novel.Let's hope there is an easy fix for this.Sriramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12485804606824836361noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2789055447194814230.post-16769201588902679842008-02-22T10:39:00.000+05:302008-02-22T10:40:14.903+05:30Namitha appears in Salwar Kameez<p align="center"><img src="http://www.chennai365.com/wp-content/uploads/actress/namitha/Namitha-chudidhar.jpg" alt="Namitha appears in Salwar Kameez, kollywood glam doll, actress namitha, Tamil Nadu State Legislative Assembly, Manada Mayilada, Kalaignar TV, designer Tarun Tahiliani creation, plunging necklines" title="Namitha appears in Salwar Kameez, kollywood glam doll, actress namitha, Tamil Nadu State Legislative Assembly, Manada Mayilada, Kalaignar TV, designer Tarun Tahiliani creation, plunging necklines" border="0" height="313" width="470" /></p> <p>Namitha, the kollywood glam doll was one of the topic of the heated debate in the Tamil Nadu State Legislative Assembly on Jan 28th about the revealing and skimpy dresses that Namitha wore as the judge of a dance show telecast on a private television channel.</p> <p>To the surprise of everyone, the actress appeared in a Salwar Kameez and dupatta for the next episode of Manada Mayilada on Kalaignar TV.

Microsoft Windows version 2.0 was released in November, 1987 and was slightly more popular than its predecessor. Windows 2.03 (release date January 1988) had changed the OS from tiled windows to overlapping windows.

Bush had decided the navy should try to shoot down the satellite because its tank of hazardous hydrazine could leak if it enters the atmosphere and reaches Earth.<br /><br />Russia and China have expressed concern about the operation. The Russian Defence Ministry said it could be used as cover to test a new space weapon.<br /><br />Washington has insisted the operation is purely to prevent people being harmed by the satellite's fuel load.Sriramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12485804606824836361noreply@blogger.com0
