Discovering the World's Most Mysterious Places

2008-05-18T22:52:00.000-07:00

When we were small, we used to assemble wooden blocks to establish a building, but have we ever thought of building up a 100-meter high building like these Egyptian Pyramids? How do we build up the building with huge bricks weighing 100 tons each? These grand and marvelous building structures are amazing and their establishments constitute myths and legendary rumors until now.

In North Africa, there are 80 blocks of such pyramids scattered around the Egypt's Nile River, which have become one of the most miraculous places in the world. The highest pyramid called Cheops Pyramid and it was build by overlapping pile of boulders together. In the making of pyramids, Egyptians were not using any adhesive, glue or nails to attach the pile of boulders and one could even hardly find cracks or gaps among the rocks or stones from the overlapping plot. Nevertheless, the structure is extremely firm and strong that the sharp blades or swords could not even pass through. In addition, Egyptian Pyramids have experiencing 5,000 years of strong wind's erosions and yet these artifacts are remained not touch by the nature. They appeared to stand alone like warriors in the desert. These towering pyramids are such spectacular and superior buildings human had ever made on the Earth.

This is a mysterious place encountered in the Antarctic Island. People call it “a dry valley with no snow cover.” Antarctic is a place with fewer inhabitants and dwellers and thus some unexplainable phenomenon happenings in Antarctica remain mystery to the outsiders. Approximately 14 million square kilometers of the total area of the Antarctic continent have the snow cover. When viewing from the high sky, the central of the Antarctic is like a pot's lid plateau. Most of the areas vividly have their surfaces covered with snow with its thickness reaching 2000m and sometimes may attain the thickness up to 4,800m. In winter, the surrounding ice combines with the ice from the ocean to form up one smooth, large plateau to which people can hardly distinguish between the land and the sea.

Bermuda Triangle is located in Western North Atlantic, which comprises of seven major islands, 150 small islands, some islands composed of reefs group. Any high-tech devices or equipments will become malfunction when reaching this mysterious place and thus the survivors may have encountered problems to communicate with the outside world. Because of its extremely mysterious characteristic, people have called this place as a devil triangle.

In China, people have named this desert as “Moguicheng” or a city of devil. “Moguicheng” is famous in Xinjiang, China. When someone is strolling towards the castle in a sunny day accompanying with a gentle blowing breeze, one may heard a nice rhythm coming from the distance. The melodies are just like 10 million shaking bells, and sometimes one may feel the music like gentle flicking of 10 million guitars' strings. However, when cyclones come, bulks of sands are rising up in the sky by the strong winds, the sky turns pitch dark suddenly like a hell, and the nice music no longer heard but turns into strange sounds. The sounds resemble the roaring of the tigers, trumpeting of the elephants, and sounds by pigs that are being slaughtered, babies' crying, shouting of the women who are going to die, and alternately the sounds change to shouting, mourning and quarreling. The storms are then swirling aggressively by shooting up to the sky accompanying by terrified wolf growling sounds in the cloudy nightfall. People are wandering who had built this city and where do the sounds come from?

This island is legendary full of Surreptitious and specter. Westerners prefer sailing by venturing many historically strange events occurred here in the history of seafaring. In 1707, the British captain of the Andean Julius had discovered this land; however, it was strange that he could hardly reach this land. He later affirmed that this was not an optical illusion, so he marked the “land” on the map. 200 years later, the admiral Makaluofu and his inspection team who were sailing to the North Pole on their icebreaker vessel called "Ye Ermake," accidentally came across this piece of land. In 1925, Navigator called Woershi, too, passed through this land and he memorized the outline of the land. Nevertheless, the investigation team comprising of scientists, who sailed to this land in 1928 never found any islands as claimed by the previous navigators.

This place is located in Henan, China, and local people called it “bingbing bei” or the back of the ice. When midsummer approaches, people tend to move to places that are cool and refreshing. Although the change of four seasons, namely summer, autumn, spring and winter is an unchangeable law, in certain parts of the world, this theory seems not to be applicable. They are some fortunate people live in “warm” zone. This phenomenon is applying to people dwelling in the eastern mountain areas of Liaoning Province, China. They are experiencing warm temperature while other areas of China are experiencing the changes of seasons. Thus, this area has named after this phenomenon as "temperature anomaly zone." This "geothermal anomaly zone" extends from 1.5m out of the town of the left riverbank of Hunjiang to the end part of the right riverbank of Hun River and to the foothills near Guandian Province. The entire length for this "temperature anomaly zone" is approximately 15km, occupying the areas of approximately 106,000 square meters. The advent of summer is always accompanying with a decline of temperature in the area of "temperature anomaly zone." When the temperature reaches as high as 30 degree Celsius during the summer, the temperature is minus 12 degree Celsius at one-meter deep into the underground of this area, and the ice froze underground. When someone dips a drop of water one-meter deep into the underground of this area, the water will immediately turn into ice.

Shennongjia is located at the intersection of Sichuan, in Hubei zone, with the meeting of two rivers, namely China's Yangtze River and Hanjiang River. This region comprises an area of 3,250 square kilometers, accounting for more than 85 % of woodland. The average elevation is 1,700m, with the highest point of 3,105 meters, and with the characteristic of various types of climate. When speaking of Shennongjia, people here will think of “savage.” Since ancient times, large numbers of documentations have revealed the existence of savage roaming around this area. Legendary, people could even hardly identify the authenticity of the savage. The effort of collecting evidence on the existence of savage was initiating by the relevant departments from 1977 to 1980. They had collected savage hairs, footprints and feces left by the savage. This proved to us that a kind of bizarre animal might have existed in Shennongjia not long ago.

This is the famous ancient city of Teotihuacan in America, which called “death to the road.” This region stretched from a so-called main road of “death to the road” to the north-south roadway. In the tenth century AD, Ards heroes who were the earliest team walking along this way leading to a castle found nobody in the city, and thus they believed that the buildings on either side of the road were gods' tomb lands. In 1974, a Mexican person called Dayton • Halisi said that he had found a suitable unit measurement for all these streets and buildings at this city at the International American meeting. This unit length is 1.059m using a calculation from a computer. For example, the units for the Teaodiwakan snake temple, the moon and the Sun Pyramid is the height of 21, 42, and 63 "units" respectively with the ratio of 1:2:3 based upon the ancient calculation.

People not allowed entering this Kunlun Mountains as its name suggested as "The Gates of Hell." This valley is a death valley, which further claims the Kunlun Mountains "The Gates of Hell." The remains found in this valley were the furs, bones, skeletons of wolves, bears and hunters and some scattered lonely tombs, rendering the world in the death of a ghastly terrifying atmosphere. The Xinjiang Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources of a geological team in China had recorded a true story in the year of 1983 on a group of hungry horse that was grazing the grass and disappeared suddenly in the "The Gates of Hell." A herdsman went into the prohibited area of "The Gates of Hell" to search for his horse. After few days, he was found missing but the horse emerged at the foothill of Kunlun Mountains. Later, the herdsman was found lying on a small hill with his clothes badly torn off, barely footed, eyes widely opened with an angry look, a shotgun gripping in one of his hands showing that he was reluctantly to die. The miraculous thing was that no wounds or signs found around his body to show that he had attacked.

Canada Niagara Falls is the world's most mysterious places in the world. Niagara Falls constitutes a part of Canada and the border of United States, the New York State and Ontario, Canada, separating from the Niagara River by flowing northward from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario with a total length of nearly 30 miles. Located in the north, covering an area of 250,000 square miles, Niagara Falls is a smooth exit to these lakes. Its maximum water flow reaches 250,000 cubic feet per second. Niagara Falls is indeed very awesome.

This Geysering is a magical spring found in the upper part of the Yarlung Zangbo River in Tibet, China. The spring bursts out in a short while and stops for a while before following by other bursts. The burst goes on, stops and goes on. In other words, its eruption cycle is continuous for a few minutes, auto stop after a few dozen minutes; and followed by another burst and so forth. It bursts like an eruption with a huge, shocked sound. It vents out some high temperature steam from the mouth of the spring. The spring then expands immediately into one to two meters in diameter, and rushes out as water column as high as 20m into the sky. In addition to China's Geysering, in the place near Reykjavik, capital of Iceland, the Geysering is renowned in the world with its diameter of 20m. When there is drizzling rain, this water column can even soar up as high as 70m into the sky.

In the airport, there were more flags of political parties than
our National flag.

On the roads, you can see the posters of political big guns
with the players and message.

Once again on the stage at Wankhede Stadium, political big guns
and BCCI officers are sitting on
first row and Players are sitting on second row, you can’t even
see properly any of the player.

Kapil Dev, captain of 1983 world cup is not invited and not
even players apart from Dilip Vengsarkar (who is chief of
selection committe).

Is it because Kapil is associated with ICL??

Udupi Sri Krishna Temple, Karnataka

Situated approximately 60 kms from Mangalore, the
Udupi Sri Krishna temple also known as Krishna Mutt, is one of the most
popular shrines dedicated to Lord Krishna in the southern region of
India. Built in 13the century, Sri Krishna temple has an alluring idol
of god adorned with beautiful jewels. The idol was installed by great
saint Madhavacharya.

The temple has an interesting history; it is said the idol of lord
Krishna got covered with sandlewood in the city of Dwarka. The idol was
carried by a mariner who took it for a sandlewood lump. In the middle of
the journey, the ship was caught in a storm on the western coast of
Malpe. Sri Madhvacharya pulled the ship out of storm with his saffron
robe and calmed the sea storm with his divine powers. Saint
Mahdhvacharya asked for the sandalwood lump and as a gesture of
gratitude, the mariner gifted him. Saint bathed the idol with water,
purified it and installed it in the temple.

What's the best way to pack shirts without wrinkling them?

Lay a dry-cleaner bag on a flat surface and slide a folded shirt inside. Stack a second shirt atop the first but outside of the bag.

Fold the rest of the bag over the second shirt, and then slide a third shirt inside the bag so that it sits atop the second. Separated by slippery plastic, your shirts won't wrinkle, keeping your appearance crisp even if your head is in another time zone.

That's basically it....Have fun!The site is http://www.keepvid.com.

Problems:About half the time you try to download from Google and input the URL of the video, you will get a message something like this from keepvid 'Error: Could not connect to URL (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6204553738583022693&q=Carlos Mencia)'Here is the answer to that problem. In the URL it will say 'docid=62843955450204&q=Carlos+Mencia'What you need to do is delete the search terms (carlos+mencia), so you end up with this: "docid=62843955450204&q'

The Google Story - Book Review

2006-11-02T01:10:00.000-08:00

The Google Story" by David Vise is not a book on biography of Google. It covers a wide range of facts on Search Economy, using Google as a medium. The book high lights the formation of Google by two "crazy" students, the eventual incidents that turns Google into a Business platform concatenated with the personal experiences of Sergey Brin and Larry Page. It does cover some personal moments of the Founders which each and evry one can relate to. The highlights of the book are the intellectual fertile association of Larry and Sergey, the confrontations between Eric Schmidt and Founders, details on Danny Sullivan Show, the China syndrome, even the chief chef of google Charlie Ayers, the designing of business model for google, the AOL Deal, the IPO Process, the genome explorer Project with Craig, the competition between Google and Microsoft. The Book explains how Google became a Phenomena and how the people followed it, which created a trend in Search Business. The explanations focus more on Human Side of Google covering all the small details and not only the academic one. On the other hand I felt there were some explanations of Google Products which was almost like a marketting banner. But still they were enjoyable for a Read. Like Froogle, Picaso, Google News etc. And ya Dont miss the Search tips given at the end of the book as well as some questions from GLAT (Google Labs Aptitude test).Rating 3.5/5

The marriage of top Bollywood stars Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai is certain to take place in February 2007, according to Bachchan family astrologer Chandrashekhara Swamiji.

He has revealed this news to highly circulated Kannada newspaper Vijayakarnataka.

Swamiji, who lives in his ashram in Bangalore's RT Nagar, is astrologer to many film personalities including Dr Raj Kumar's family and producer Rockline Venkatesh. According to sources, Aishwarya and Abhishek visited the Swami several times during the Karnataka schedule of their film Guru, directed by Mani Ratnam.

The film was shot in Hospet and several places in Northern Karnataka, and the couple visited the Swamiji to consult him on many matters, including a probable marriage date. The Swami is believed to have scrutinised the celestial birthday Jathakas of the couple before giving them his advice.

Chandrashekhara Swamiji has been in regular contact with the Bachchans. He has reportedly also conducted havans and poojas for the family's well being. Apparently, Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan also visited the ashram a year ago.

Swamiji has revealed that Aishwarya will probably make an announcement of her marriage on November 1, her birthday. According to the report, Aishwarya (born in Dhanu Rashi) and Abhishek (born in Kumbha Rashi) could have had some problems. The marriage was likely to face roadblocks in 2006, the astrologer had felt.

But, from October 27, when the planetary positions change, both Ash and Abhi will have the support of Jupiter (Guru-bruhaspathi).

The Swami, who has closely studied Ash's Jathaka, feels that the number eight is not compatible for her and marriage in 2006 -- which adds up to 8 -- would have led to trouble for the couple. 'That is why I advised them to marry in 2007,' he explains, 'which adds up to 9, a lucky number for both Aishwarya and Abhishek.'

10 commandments

2006-11-02T00:26:00.000-08:00

1. Never walk without a document in your hands: People with documents in their hands look like hardworking employees heading for important meetings. People with nothing in their hands look like they’re heading for the cafeteria. People with a newspaper in their hand look like they’re heading for the toilet. Above all, make sure you carry loads of stuff home with you at night, thus generating the false impression that you work longer hours than you do;
2. Use computers to look busy: Any time you use a computer, it looks like “work” to the casual observer. You can send and receive personal e-mail, chat and generally have a blast without doing anything remotely related to work. These aren’t exactly the societal benefits that the proponents of the computer revolution would like to talk about but they’re not bad either. When you get caught by your boss - and you *will* get caught - your best defense is to claim you’re teaching yourself to use new software, thus saving valuable training dollars;
3. Messy desk:Top management can get away with a clean desk. For the rest of us, it looks like we’re not working hard enough. Build huge piles of documents around your workspace. To the observer, last year’s work looks the same as today’s work; it’s volume that counts. Pile them high and wide. If you know somebody is coming to your cubicle, bury the document you’ll need halfway down in an existing stack and rummage for it when he/she arrives;
4. Voice Mail: Never answer your phone if you have voice mail. People don’t call you just because they want to give you something for nothing - they call because they want YOU to do work for THEM. That’s no way to live. Screen all your calls through voice mail. If somebody leaves a voice mail message for you and it sounds like impending work, respond during lunch hour when you know they’re not there - it looks like you’re hardworking and conscientious even though you’re being a devious weasel;
5. Looking Impatient and Annoyed:According to George Costanza, one should also always try to look impatient and annoyed to give your bosses the impression that you are always busy.
6. Leave the office late: Always leave the office late, especially when the boss is still around. You could read magazines and storybooks that you always wanted to read but have no time until late before leaving. Make sure you walk past the boss’ room on your way out. Send important emails at unearthly hours (e.g. 9:35pm, 7:05am, etc.) and during public holidays;
7. Creative Sighing for Effect:Sigh loudly when there are many people around, giving the impression that you are under extreme pressure;
8. Stacking Strategy:It is not enough to pile lots of documents on the table. Put lots of books on the floor etc. (thick computer manuals are the best);
9. Build Vocabulary:Read up on some computer magazines and pick out all the jargon and new products. Use the phrases freely when in conversation with bosses. Remember: They don’t have to understand what you say, but you sure sound impressive.
10. MOST IMPORTANT: DON’T send this to your boss by mistake!!!

Morning reflects…

2006-11-02T00:21:00.000-08:00

Picture - a reality which is not a fantasy.. Most of the time we live in a fantasy world .. of our own making where the troubles are our own creation and our lack of decision is our own weakness and yet we have this fantasy that we have it all till one day we get hit with the reality which makes us go back to our roots and shake our faith and change our course..

Focus - not on something which is far away… but what we have in hand today.. work on that and the rest will take care of itself. If we keep focussing on what we dont have and what we want to have desperately we kind of lose out on the present

Build - a better outlook towards yourself and outside.. bias can change the way you react thus making us very cylindrical in attitude.. thus losing out on spreading the joy that we can from oneself to all..

Forget - before you forgive … it cannot happen without the first.. sometimes one needs to look beyond why a personality is what it is and the moment you go past that bridge, it is easy to forget and then forgive..

Pause - for some seconds once in a while and just lift yourself up from the mechanical routine of your life and imagine you are in a wide fieldand running free feeling the wind in your face.. you will know the real meaning of freedom..

Listen - to the waves… of the sea… they tell you a lot… they sing and cajole you to let go of your inhibitions and play … play with the wind.. dance .. let go… let go of your worries… for a while… for it will always be there.. you can come back to it with a new perspective …. after you let go…

Love - unconditionally… it is only with unconditional love that you can let go of all the restrictions that you have put for yourself.. You are the most important being for yourself.. know yourself well… only then you will be compassionate towards others… it is the rule of nature.. do not take anything for granted..
