POTATO CHIPS
Science And Technology Science
In the summer of 1853, Native American George Crum was employed as a chef at an elegant resort in Saratoga Springs, New York. One dinner guest found Crum's French fries too thick for his liking and rejected the order. Crum decided to rile the guest by producing fries too thin and crisp to skewer with a fork. The plan backfired. The guest was ecstatic over the browned, paper-thin potatoes, and other diners began requesting Crum's potato chips

Multi-touch interface is coming. King Tut's Mask
If you have seen the movie Minority Report or a number of other futuristic films then you may have seen this technology in action, or at least Hollywood’s recreation of it. Multi-Touch technology was put on display at Adobe TED in San Francisco, by Jeff Han. Multi-Touch Sensing through Frustrated Total Internal Reflection (FTIR) is on its way from the R & D room to the showroom. FTIR comes from the biometric world, where it is used to read fingerprints. Now it is being used to track multiple screen touches to manipulate screen objects. A physical mouse and keyboard will no longer be needed as this technology becomes a practical reality. Physically interfacing with any technology could be revolutionized with an interface that allows the technology to adapt to the user instead of the user adapting to the interface. Children with disabilities could see a marked increase in learning as this technology is used to adapt learning technology to them. Sizable keyboards or floating keys that adapt to the hands of the user are now possible. A revolution could be in our near future. A Bit of Everything

Here is a replica of the famous mask of King Tut, weighing 24 lbs, which was pressed over the head of the king's bandaged mummy.

Poet’s thoughts on the above poem
Eyes open, vision closed Greed within, values gone
by sreeram
Evil within, goodness gone
It is scientifically proved that humans are becoming more and more selfish and greedy everyday. If you sit and analyze why, you may get many more questions. There are few who have asked me what is wrong in being greedy and selfish. If I am not, I’d be stomped on and left to rot. Some came up with even better theory. If I am not selfish or greedy, opportunities hardly come my way, after all only the crying baby gets attention and food. Well no matter what one argues, one should not be selfish or greedy is my feeling. Life more or less gives what each works for. Most people in the world think they DESERVE more and they are WORTH more. May be it is true, may be not but if everyone starts to believe that no matter what you are, you do your job and let God do his. At times we are too busy trying to avoid being stomped that we step over many people without shame or guilt. Remove guilt, shame, appreciation, respect and belief from human life and we do not remain human much at all. Sadly that is where I am seeing the current crop heading to. The poem exactly talks about

P G Wodehouse by Seetha
Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse or as he is more popularly known, PG Wodehouse is the man who brought new facets to comedy. Wodehouse describes his writing in the following words: “I believe there are two ways of writing novels. One is mine, making a sort of musical comedy without music and ignoring real life altogether; the other is going right deep down into life and not caring a damn.” Humor is one subject that needs a lot of effort to come out good. It should essentially come in the package, and not be a last-minute injection into nooks and corners when the author thought his product was too dry. That’s where Wodehouse triumphed. He churned out humor in chunks. In his own words, A Bit of Everything

Literature & Culture
"I go in for what is known in the trade as 'light writing' and those who do that – humorists they are sometimes called – are looked down upon by the intelligentsia and sneered at." Wodehouse, known as Plum to his close friends started writing at a very young age. Living away from parents, he spent his holidays with his aunts, which may have led to the characterization of the formidable aunts in his novels, in the likes of Bertie Wooster’s Aunts Agatha and Dahlia, and Lady Constance of the Blandings Castle. Wodehouse’s short term career as a banker may have possibly led to the story of Mike and PSmith starting theirs in a bank. Wooster-Jeeves, Blandings Castle, PSmith were a few popular series from the great writer.

The Adventures of Augie March (1953) Author: Saul Bellow
Augie comes on stage with one of literature's most famous opening lines. "I am an American, Chicago born, and go at things as I have taught myself, free-style, and will make the record in my own way: first to knock, first admitted." With this teeming book Bellow returned a Dickensian richness to the American novel. As he makes his way to a full brimming consciousness of himself, Augie careens through numberless occupations and countless mentors and exemplars, all the while enchanting us with the slapdash American music of his voice.

The story describes Augie March's growth from childhood to a fairly stable maturity. Augie, with his brother Simon and the mentally abnormal George have no father and are brought up by their mother who is losing her eyesight, and a tyrannical grandmother in very humble circumstances in the rough parts of Chicago. Augie drifts from one situation to another in a free-wheeling manner - jobs, women, homes, education and lifestyle. In lifestyle he ranges from near adoption by a wealthy couple who spoil him, to a struggle for existence stealing books and helping out friends in desperate straits. His most unusual adventure is his flight to Mexico with the wild and irrepressible Thea who tries to catch lizards with an eagle.

Perhaps this Pang Brothers remake would be more interesting (and/or tolerable) if Nic Cage could have been convinced to play his character as a deaf-mute hitman as the original story goes. Though they certainly have a cult following, the Pangs's brand of horror hasn't taken off with mainstream audiences here, what with their meddling English-language debut and that barely there remake with J'Alba achieving back-to-back strikeouts. Our suggestion: Scrap this version, redevelop the remake with a bankable Asian star (Chow-Yun Fat, Jet Li), set the story in the U.S., and watch the receipts roll in.

the soil underneath began to collapse.The subsidence is visible along the line of city's Metro, and is causing damage to the buildings, the tunnels, the water pipes and the sewer lines. It has forced the city to install vast pumping stations to elevate the level of the sewage to level of the canals, resulting in huge operational costs.The city authorities have taken several steps to address the problem. However, it's hard to do anything about the sinking, unless the population of the city is reduced. This is a difficult task, since the city is the political, industrial, and cultural center of Mexico.The city has tried using alternative water sources. For example, 8% of its water is now pumped 4000 feet up from the faraway Cutzamala river -- this process is quite expensive. The city officials have also stopped pumping water in the city center. The water is now being drawn from wells at the periphery. This has slowed the sinking of the city center, but not greatly. 70% of the water used in the metropolitan area is still drawn from the aquifer. The environmentalists have urged the city residents to harvest the rain water, but this has not generated much response.Unless the city finds a concrete way to control this subsidence, its future lies in great danger.

Mahabodhi Temple The Mahabodhi temple at Bodhgaya is located on the spot where the Buddha attained enlightenment. The temple's principle relic is a distant descendant of the Bo tree under which the Buddha sat when his enlightenment took place. The site, having been sacred to Buddhists since the earliest days of the faith, is of unknown antiquity. Elements of the temple date from the 3rd century BC, but the present form of the temple is a reconstruction of a later form that would have been familiar to Hiuen Xsiang, the 7th centunry Chinese Buddhist pilgrim whose story is the basis of "The Monkey King" drama of literary reknown. The temple is one of the few early monumental brick structures to have survived in eastern India. Its enormous central tower (55 m tall) is a 19th century renovation faithful to the earlier towers that existed on the site. The tower comprises numermous horizontal bands of mouldings and arch motifs that extend

upward to an amalaka topped by umbrella-shaped forms, recalling the umbrella motifs found at Buddhist stupas dating back to the time of Asoka and earlier. Around the central tower are four smaller towers added at the end of 19th century that mimic the form of the central tower. West of the main temple is a smaller area housing the Boddhi tree relic. Here, on what may have been the first sanctuary on the site, can be found a stone seat from the 3rd century BC. Scattered around the site are plaster copies of stone posts dating from the Shunga period. The originals are stored in the nearby archaelogical museum and may have been used in the earliest stages of the temple to protect the Bodhi tree. The Mahabodi temple is a site sacred to all Buddhists, particularly those of the Theravada branch mainly found in south and southeast Asia. In these areas, the form of the temple has been much

With Novak Djokovic having taken the honours at the Australian Open and Federer's long-time nemesis Rafael Nadal winning the French Open and his first Wimbledon title, Federer has had much to worry about. His dream of an Olympic gold has also remained unfulfilled, his woeful form continuing to haunt him in the Games at Beijing. What, then, is the prediction for the US Open? While a Federer-Nadal final might still be the most talked-about matchup, there are quite a few people willing to ruin it for the bookmakers, the frontrunner among them being Djokovic. Notwithstanding the clowning around (the most famous of his antics being, arguably, his mimicry of Maria Sharapova), the Serb is a solid contender for the title.

People from the Republic of Ireland, the UK, Australia and New Zealand most enjoyed jokes involving word plays. One example was as follows. Patient: "Doctor, I've got a strawberry stuck up my bum." Doctor: "I've got some cream for that!� Americans and Canadians, on the other hand, preferred jokes where there was a strong sense of superiority - either because a character looks stupid or is made to look stupid by someone else.
