[www.keralites.net] Khatte-mitten khabhrain from around the world for 15/6/13

 

"Yesterday is but today's memory,
And tomorrow is today's dream" – Khalil Gibran
**
Mindchow
The hardest part about moving forward is not looking back.
(Me: Impossible!)
**
Quips and counter quips par excellence…
"Dua dete hai jeene ki, dawa dete hai marne ki" – Bihar CM, Nitish Kumar, when asked about the relations between the JDU and the BJP.
(Loose translation in English, though the quote loses its original flavor: "They bless us for long life but give medicines to finish us off sooner"
**
Tongue very much in cheek…
I love sleep. My life has a tendency to fall apart when I'm awake!
**
Woman to husband: "No, your snoring doesn't bother me. Except when we're kissing"
**
"Life is 10 percent what you make it and 90 percent how you take it" – Irving Berlin.
**
Mother asks little Johnny, as they wait for the bus, to tell the driver he is four years old when asked because he will ride for free.
As they get into the bus the driver asks Johnny how old he was.
"I am four years old".
"And when will you be six years old?" asks the driver.
"When I get off the bus," answers Johnny.
**
From the world of science…
If it says "whole grains" on the box, does that mean that the cereal is a good fiber source?
Not necessarily. Only about half of all cereals touting whole grain benefits are actually good sources of fiber. Look for at least 3 grams of fiber per serving.
(Me: Buyers beware! This is true of all 'health' foods e.g. organic foods, weight-loss supplements; they all invariably make tall claims and charge fancy prices. Recently, consumer forum in Mumbai ordered such a weight-loss clinic was ordered to pay a man Rs.5000 for EVERY promised kg of weight loss!
As long as there are gullible suckers, the tribe of these conmen and fly-by-night operators will flourish)
**
'Baldness drugs curbs alcoholism in men'
A researcher at the George Washington University found that men, who used the medication finasteride to cure baldness, were also drinking less alcohol than before. While robust literature exists on effects on rodents, this is the first study on the role of finasteride in alcohol consumption in humans.
(Me: Goes to prove medicines have positive side effects, too, even though the negative ones are overblown and given undue publicity, often by vested interests
Besides being a source of good cholesterol, almonds also help in reducing inflammation in the body.
**
Bananas are ideal post-workout foods. The sample sugars present in them quickly provide energy and normalize blood sugar levels.
(Me: One has often seen Nadal eating bananas in the 2-min break between games)
**
Men are to be blame for menopause!
Toronto: Women can now blame men for hot flushes, mood swings and other symptoms of menopause they suffer from! Men's preference for younger women in selecting mates may have led to menopause in older females, according to a new study led by an Indian-origin researcher.
(Me: Men-O-pause?)
**
Weird world…
Boston parking space auctioned for $560,000!
A lady has agreed to pay a whopping $560,000 (over Rs.3 crores) for a space to park two cars near her home in downtown Boston.
**
Thieves steal garage in UK!
In a bizarre robbery, thieves dismantled and stole a prefabricated double garage from outside a house in the UK. A pair of 6-feet-tall ornate metal gates and four concrete paving stones were also taken.
**
'Happy Birthday to you" is from copyright…
'Happy Birth to You," the ditty sung around the world, belongs to the public, says a lawsuit.
The proposed class action asks a federal court to declare the song to be in the public domain and that Warner/Chappel Music Inc, the music publishing arm of Warner Music Group, return "millions of dollars of unlawful licensing fees" it has collected for reproductions. The plaintiff is Good Morning To You Productions Corp, New York company that says it is making a documentary about the song.
**
Boy's family burns lover girl, assaults mother…
Lucknow (UP): A woman was assaulted and her daughter burnt to death in an Uttar Pradesh village by the family of a youth the victim wanted to marry. The police said Karahkol resident Manju was in love with Ranjit from the same village. When Manju's mother pleaded before the panchayat (village justice-dispensing authority) that the two be allowed to marry, Ranjit's father Jai Hind and his relatives burnt Manju to death. Seven people have been arrested.
(News courtesy: Mumbai Mirror 15/6/13).
**
India to be world's most populous country, overtaking China, by 2028: UN
(Me: For a country with two-thirds her population being poor – at a humongous 800 million now, more than the population of the entire African, South American or North American continent ! – this is a dubious distinction. Anyways who cares? We can always pat on our own back, albeit foolhardily or disingenuously – that it would provide demographic dividends, whatever that may mean).
**
In the Jia Khan's suicide case, the entire media has already given its verdict that her lover is NOT GUILTY of abetment!
**
Only in India…
Birdbrained AP (Andhra Pradesh, Southern India) cops arrest, punish goose.
Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh may have the dubious distinction of recording the second highest number of cases involving crimes against women in the country, but it seems the Vijayawada police's priorities lie elsewhere.
Acting on a complaint against goose pecking at children, a team from Nunna police station swooped down on Ranjit Kumar's house at Sugali Colony on Tuesday and took the winged suspect in their custody. The restrained the bird by tying to a two-wheeler and punished it by denying it food and water for many hours.
The laborer in Kumar's house says his spotless waterfowl had become aggressive after the partner was stolen a month ago!!
(Me: hmmmmm. Jokes are aplenty pouring bile and ridicule on married women and damning them for all marital disharmony. However, the males, whether of the homo sapiens or of other lesser forms of animals, having tasted the forbidden fruit, can't do without the female species for long….)

RE: [www.keralites.net] M F Husain's Hypocrisy....Judge for Yourself

 

Dear Mr Promod,

This is a very very old junk,which was very precisely used by BJP ,VHP,SHIV SENA and other communal outfits, for debarring MF Hussain OUT OF THE COUNTRY,
NOW again you want to debate on this dead issue,live and let live everyone in peace.

A PEACE LOVER

Subject: [www.keralites.net] M F Husain's Hypocrisy....Judge for Yourself

Be a judge yourself of Hussain's paintings below.
Goddess Durga in sexual union with Tiger

Prophet's Daughter Fatima fully clothed
Goddess Lakshmi naked on Shree Ganesh's head

M.F. Hussain's Mother fully clothed
Naked Saraswati
Mother Teresa fully clothed
Naked Shri Parvati
Hussain's Daughter well clothed
Naked Draupadi.
Well clothed Muslim Lady.
Naked Lord Hanuman and Goddess Sita sitting on thigh of Ravana
Muslim poets Faiz, Galib are shown well-clothed

Full Clad Muslim King and naked Hindu Brahmin. The above painting clearly indicates Hussain's tendency to paint any Hindu as naked and thus his hatred.
Naked Bharatmata - Hussain has shown naked woman with names of states written on different parts of her body. He has used Ashok Chakra, Tri-colour in the painting. By doing this he has violated law & hurt National Pride of Indians. Both these things should be of grave concern to every Indian irrespective of his religion.

Out of the four leaders M. Gandhi is decapitated and Hitler is naked. Hussain hates Hitler and has said in an interview 8 years ago that he has depicted Hitler naked to humiliate him and as he deserves it ! How come Hitler's nudity cause humiliation when in Hussain's own statement nudity in art depicts purity and is in fact an honour ! This shows Hussain's perversion and hypocrisy.
If you feel Hussain was wrong, don't feel shy to circulate.

[www.keralites.net] Electronic Combination Lock

 

This 7-digit combination lock can be easily hard-wired for any combination that you choose. The circuit uses a 4-bit, divide-by-8 Johnson counter (IC1), ten pushbutton switches and npn transistor T1.
At power-'on,' capacitor C2 connected to pin 15 of IC1 charges to high level through 820-kilo-ohm resistor, holding the counter in the reset state. In this condition, output O0 (pin 2) of counter IC1 is high, while all other outputs are low.


Fig. 1: Electronic combination lock circuit
When switch S2 is pressed, transistor T1 conducts and capacitor C2 discharges via diode D1 and resistor R2, releasing the counter's reset input. When S2 is released, T1 cuts off and its collector is pulled high, generating a rising edge on the counter's input clock pin 14. Capacitor C1 and resistor R3 in the base circuit of transistor T1 form a simple filter to prevent switch contact bounce from generating multiple clock pulses on pin 14 of IC1.
The clock pulse advances IC1's count by one, so O0 goes low and O1 goes high. Therefore press switch S7 next, as it's wired to output O1. The time required for capacitor C1 to charge to logic high level is the maximum time that can lapse between switches pressed. Otherwise, the counter will reset. When all switches have been pressed in the correct sequence (S2-S7-S3-S4-S5-S2-S2 as shown), output O7 (pin 10) of the counter goes high for about ten seconds. This output is fed to driver transistor T2 to drive the solenoid valve and open the lock.

Fig. 2: Pin
configurations of
BC548 and BD139
Assemble the circuit on a common PCB and enclose in a plastic cabinet. Connect the solenoid valve to the circuit using a flexible wire. While soldering, take care to avoid shortings. Use IC base for ease of troubleshooting. Connect the switches for opening the lock at the top of the plastic case.
