As a boy he dedicated himself to Hindu Dharma. He matched cunning against cunning, courage against courage; he was one of the wisest rulers as he was one of the greatest generals.<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Shivaji</span></strong></div><div align="justify"><br />A small boy is seated on the throne, of curse, on a small throne bound hand and the village Patel. He had dishonoured a helpless widow; it was he is duty to protect such persons. Indeed he was a wicked Patel. In his limitless pride he did not even think that a small boy would have the courage to hold an inquiry. Yet the young prince subjected this Patel, who proudly sported a thick moustache, to a proper judicial trial. It was clear that the Patel had done wrong.<br /> In a stern and majestic tone the young prince announced the judgement: both the hands and the feet of the Patel were to be cut off. All present were stunned at the firm devotion of the prince to justice. Not only were they wondering struck but also pleased beyond measure. The townsfolk began to say to one another: Ah! Look! How devoted to justice our young prince is He is not in the least afraid of the wicked people. He metes out fit punishment to all that do wrong. He is kind and loving towards the poor, the downfallen and the wretched. He is ever determined to help them and to protect them. What is more, he regards all women as mothers. Surely when he grows up into manhood, not only will he save our land but also will uphold our Dharma. Therefor let us all stand by him.<br /> Don’t you wish to know who this young prince was? He was none other than Shivaji. At the time of this incident he was just fourteen. His small kingdomcomprised the few small villages that skirted the township of Poona. His father was Shivaji who served as general under the Sultan of Bijapur. The father knew only too well the nature of his son. He felt joyous when he thought of the fearless lion-like disposition of his son, which would never let him, bow down to any foreigner. How the father became aware of this fearless nature of his son is itself and interesting story.<br /> On a certain occasion Shahaji took his son to the court of the Sultan of Bijapur. Shivaji was then not even twelve years of age. Shahaji touched the ground thrice and saluted the Sultan. He asked his son to do the same thing. But…Shivaji only retreated a few steps. He stood erect with his head unbent. His dazzling eyes seemed to carry with them his determination that he would not bow down to a foreign ruler. He walked back from the court with a lion-like gait and bearing.<br />Till then no one had dared to behave in that manner at the court of the Sultan of Bijapur. All were wonder-struck at the boldness of the young boy.<br /> Did such acts of the son enrage Shahaji? They did i not. On the contrary he was mightily pleased at heart. He had not been fortunate enough to be an independent ruler. He sent his son to Poona, blessing him that at least he might become an independent ruler.<br /> You may ask. How did Shivaji acquire all these noble virtues courage, heroism, love for the motherland and love of Dharma? Even when he was a little child his mother Jijabai used to tell him stories of heroes, of saints and sages who appear in the Ramayana, the Mahabharatha and the Puranas. As Shivaji listened to these tales of heroism and Dharmic deeds, he grew more and more eager to be like Rama or Krishna, Bheema or Arjuna. He was further blessed in that he had for his teacher and guides such a great man as Dadaji Kondadev was. He was also inspired by the memories of the glorious empire of the Vijayanagara Kings in Karnataka.<br /></div><div align="justify"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Shivaji's another names</span></strong></div><div align="justify"><br /><br /> A Fortress Of Fortresses For The Goddess Of Independence The Terror Of The Enemies In The Clutches Of The Moghul Emperor Shivaji The Emperor -The Protector Of The Land And Dharma<br /><br /></div> <a href="http://www.ftbl.com/">Fantasy Football</a>Spiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09365436516762275321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12240224.post-87732116314095344582010-06-08T15:05:00.000-07:002010-11-23T02:02:12.567-08:00GPS<span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Global Positioning System:</span>
<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">The Global Positioning System (<a href="http://gps.gv/">GPS</a>) is a U.S. space-based radionavigation system that provides reliable positioning, navigation, and timing services to civilian users on a continuous worldwide basis -- freely available to all. For anyone with a <a href="http://gps.gov/">GPS</a> receiver, the system will provide location and time. <a href="http://gps.gv/">GPS</a> provides accurate location and time information for an unlimited number of people in all weather, day and night, anywhere in the world.
<br />
<br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;">The <a href="http://gps.gov/">GPS</a> is made up of three parts: satellites orbiting the Earth; control and monitoring stations on Earth; and the <a href="http://gps.gov/">GPS</a> receivers owned by users. <a href="http://gps.gov/">GPS</a> satellites broadcast signals from space that are picked up and identified by GPS receivers. Each GPS receiver then provides three-dimensional location (latitude, longitude, and altitude) plus the time.
<br />
<br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;">Individuals may purchase GPS handsets that are readily available through commercial retailers. Equipped with these GPS receivers, users can accurately locate where they are and easily navigate to where they want to go, whether walking, driving, flying, or boating. <a href="http://gps.gov/">GPS</a> has become a mainstay of transportation systems worldwide, providing navigation for aviation, ground, and maritime operations. Disaster relief and emergency services depend upon <a href="http://gps.gov/">GPS</a> for location and timing capabilities in their life-saving missions. Everyday activities such as banking, mobile phone operations, and even the control of power grids, are facilitated by the accurate timing provided by GPS. Farmers, surveyors, geologists and countless others perform their work more efficiently, safely, economically, and accurately using the free and open GPS signals.

That was the year Lawrence Golding, now 81, a professor of kinesiology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, started a no-frills, boot-camp-style exercise class for men, held weekdays at lunchtime in a building on campus.<br /><br />Some of those men, aged 30 to 51 when the class began, stuck with the program for more than 20 years. And today they're reaping the benefits of that commitment.<br /><br />Now graying and many of them grandfathers, they have cholesterol and triglyceride levels that are better than when they were younger, and their aerobic capacity, flexibility and strength have not shown expected age-related declines.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP5T6bJzOjYnKDdCY5OKtdPdYPjhgpW81RN_brtfM7yJ7ITcHKwAgffQGcpyl3sDc1bmI1_pYR3TT7rcQzzPbuyOsQax_K9c7VH572Uh1AFbaZyqfsk6YIMQ3dqm4eJUnRhnwJSQ/s1600/crossed-80.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 144px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP5T6bJzOjYnKDdCY5OKtdPdYPjhgpW81RN_brtfM7yJ7ITcHKwAgffQGcpyl3sDc1bmI1_pYR3TT7rcQzzPbuyOsQax_K9c7VH572Uh1AFbaZyqfsk6YIMQ3dqm4eJUnRhnwJSQ/s200/crossed-80.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470307836002664690" border="0" /></a>"My definition of aging is when you can't do the things physically that you used to do when you were years younger," said Golding, who led the exercise class until it was disbanded a couple of years ago because of logistical issues with parking and finding a meeting space on campus. "People who exercise regularly continue doing the things they used to do when they were in their 20s."<br /><br />Along with a healthy diet, staying mentally active and socially engaged, exercise is emerging as one of the key ways of staving off chronic diseases and, in general, staying healthier in old age, experts say.<br /><br />In fact, next to maintaining a healthy weight, exercise in men was found to be the most important factor in warding off heart failure, or the loss of ability to pump blood that can lead to death, according to a study published in mid-2009 in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Among men who exercised five or more times a week, 11 percent developed heart failure, compared with 14 percent who didn't exercise, the study found.<br /><br />Physical activity is just as important for women. A study of 27,000 women with an average age of 55 found that, over the course of 11 years, those who exercised were 40 percent less likely to have a heart attack than women who were sedentary. The study was published in late 2009 in Circulation.<br /><br />"The most important organ in an older person's body is their legs," said Dr. Walter Bortz, a professor of medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. "If your legs stay good, everything else takes care of itself. You don't fall down and break your hip. Your heart stays good. You don't get frail. Your sex stays good, your brain stays good and you cost less money."<br /><br />Bortz, who is 80 and has written several books on aging and exercise, finished the Boston Marathon on April 19 in about 7 hours 30 minutes -- his 40th marathon in as many years.<br /><br />It's never too late for seniors to start exercising, he said.<br /><br />"Even people in their 70s still have a tremendous capacity to improve their strength, flexibility and aerobic capacity," Bortz said.<br /><br />So how much should middle-age people or seniors strive for? At least three, 30-minute sessions of exercise a week, though more is better, Bortz said. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends five sessions a week.<br /><br />At UNLV, Golding led a 45-minute class weekdays from September to May. There was no boom box, no equipment -- just Golding counting repetitions from the front of the room. Experienced class members did three sets of 50 sit-ups and three sets of 20 push-ups, for example.<br /><br />The men, all white, all sedentary and most mildly overweight, quickly showed improvement. Within two to three years, participants, regardless of their age, on average performed better on tests of flexibility, strength and aerobics than incoming freshman, Golding said.<br /><br />Among the 20 who continued coming to class -- 3½ times a week for more than 20 years -- low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the bad type, dropped 27 percent after the first year and 60 percent over 20 years. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the good type, increased by 60 percent after the first year and continued to improve for the next 15 years, according to research published in 2009 in Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport.<br /><br />Total cholesterol (LDL, HDL and other lipid components) dropped nearly 18 percent after year one and 40 percent over 20 years, the study found.

Some environmentalists and lawmakers fear an economic and ecological disaster if the creatures breach man-made barriers. And there are concerns that the fish may have already slipped past locks and entered the massive freshwater bodies of water.<br /><br />The fish can grow up to 4 feet in length and 100 pounds in weight, reproduce rapidly and can gobble up to 40 percent of their body weight daily, quickly out-competing less aggressive native fish populations.<br /><br />The high court has refused to intervene in the case twice in recent months. Some activists say Michigan could file another appeal in federal court, but it could take months to resolve.<br /><br />The justices were asked to grant a preliminary injunction, which would have forced Illinois to immediately close down much of its Chicago-area shipping locks and dams, and would have prompted rapid construction of a fish-proof barrier.<br /><br />The voracious Asian carp have migrated up the Mississippi River to the Chicago suburbs. State officials, businesses, and environmentalists fear that it is only a step away from triggering a swift economic disaster across the Great Lakes, saying that once in Lake Michigan they would spread quickly to Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Ontario and Lake Superior.<br /><br />"What could be at stake is the multibillion-dollar fishing industry -- commercial, sports fishing, and recreational fishing industries -- in the Great Lakes," said Chris McCloud of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, noting that the lakes constitute "the largest freshwater body on Earth, and we have to protect it at all costs."<br /><br />DNA from the carp was found in December closer to Lake Michigan than ever before -- at a Wilmette, Illinois, pumping station along the lake shore -- raising fresh concerns that the fish has breached an electric barrier placed along a maze of canals and locks in Illinois.<br /><br />In a signal of the urgency, Michigan, Wisconsin and New York have repeatedly but unsuccessfully asked the high court to order those locks closed immediately.<br /><br />Among those being sued are Chicago's local water reclamation agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which helped build and maintain the canal system. Illinois officials say other states and the federal courts do not have the legal authority to order the closing of any federally approved water management projects. There are fears that shutting down the locks would lead to massive flooding and cripple the area's commercial shipping industry.<br /><br />The term "Asian carp" is actually an umbrella name for at least four large varieties of fish considered nuisance invasive species: the grass, black, silver and bighead carp. Related to common goldfish, the bigger types are prolific jumpers, easily spooked out of the water by passing watercraft, and numerous boaters have been injured by inadvertent flying fish collisions.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS8ernTtZq23364kXj-MjEk2qzAsCrc1F61AGsxd7Gw1gzpO2SyWmoxHX6zqJtysvRsJNZbHSjAoOaSnWhJAX26uktz_sLtaJbh2FaxMELKbcKUKrGYZ0FSzv-YAUwiFz_BBcbFA/s1600/Asian+carp.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 316px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS8ernTtZq23364kXj-MjEk2qzAsCrc1F61AGsxd7Gw1gzpO2SyWmoxHX6zqJtysvRsJNZbHSjAoOaSnWhJAX26uktz_sLtaJbh2FaxMELKbcKUKrGYZ0FSzv-YAUwiFz_BBcbFA/s200/Asian+carp.jpg" title="Asian carp can grow to 4 feet long and 100 pounds, and they can eat 40 percent of their body weight daily" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465125120779738210" border="0" /></a><br />Biologists have been tracking their northern migration ever since they were imported in the 1960s, traced to an Arkansas fish farmer. Several of the fish escaped during a flood in the 1990s and quickly expanded their range.<br /><br />Their possible presence just miles from the lakes prompted the latest lawsuit over the so-called Chicago Diversion, a project started in the late 1800s to prevent the city's sewage from contaminating Lake Michigan. The project involved reversing the flow of the Chicago River, connecting it and two other nearby rivers with the Mississippi River basin.<br /><br />That created a connection between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi, helping fuel an economic boom in the nation's third largest metropolitan area.<br /><br />In 1922, Wisconsin sued Illinois to stop the growing water diversion, since other states relied on the drinking water. All other lake states except Indiana joined suit, and the Supreme Court eventually agreed with them, ordering mitigating effects over Illinois' diversion. Now several of those states are asking the justices to reopen the old cases.<br /><br />Such interstate disputes over boundaries and shared natural resources are one of the few instances where appeals can go directly to the Supreme Court, instead of first being heard in lower courts.<br /><br />The Obama administration is supporting Illinois. In a filing with the high court last fall, Solicitor General Elena Kagan argued that although allowing the carp to enter the Great Lakes would produce "grave and irreparable harm," it was only "speculative" that the harm would occur "imminently."<br /><br />She suggested that Michigan and other states were more interested in relitigating disputes over removal of water from the lakes than seeking to stop fish from entering the lakes.<br /><br />The other states and Canada want the Illinois water diversion projects be declared a "public nuisance" because of the carp emergency. Of more immediate concern, they want Illinois and federal officials to modify their fish-control facilities -- including electric fences -- to ensure that the fish stay away from the lakes.<br /><br />Electric barriers were set up in 2002 in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, about 33 miles from Lake Michigan. They became fully operational last year, but Army engineers acknowledge that the barrier is not 100 percent effective. It is designed not to kill carp but to discourage them from going further.<br /><br />"We can control what the fish feels, basically," said Col. Vincent Quarles, commander of the Chicago District of the Army Corps of Engineers. "What they feel is a jolt or a tingle. It's an electric current in the canal being created by our barriers." Another underwater barrier is set for completion this year.<br /></div><br /><a href="http://www.halloweenfantasy.com/"></a> <a href="http://www.ftbl.com/">Fantasy Football</a>Spiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09365436516762275321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12240224.post-63035426240356021062009-04-09T02:29:00.001-07:002010-11-23T02:08:14.733-08:00The Top 10 Best-Selling Cars of 2008* Ford F-Series: 515,513<br /> * Chevy Silverado: 465,065<br /> * Toyota Camry: 436,617<br /> * Honda Accord: 372,789<br /> * Toyota Corolla: 351,007<br /> * Honda Civic: 339,289<br /> * Nissan Altima: 269,668<br /> * Chevy Impala: 265,840<br /> * Dodge Ram: 245,840<br /> * Honda CR-V: 197,279<br /><br /><a href="http://www.halloweenfantasy.com/"></a> <a href="http://www.ftbl.com/">Fantasy Football</a>Spiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09365436516762275321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12240224.post-76478717671430474642009-04-02T03:31:00.000-07:002010-11-23T02:09:14.564-08:00Funny collections!!!!!!!!!!<object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/b8sDYtxD-mU&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/b8sDYtxD-mU&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br /><a href="http://www.ftbl.com/">Fantasy Football</a>Spiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09365436516762275321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12240224.post-65520948540602421442009-03-25T02:29:00.001-07:002010-11-23T02:10:48.532-08:00Non-edible Fishes are risky to health<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMm4PKe2M6r6Epp2yBJy5ieY1wvbX73BhWo8jR5bPSBrhAYoeoA0kczgWGQ2p6dzcCF1FyvsQI52vwblamPyheieCRZ2DiB3fNcJDpG2aPc-o53fiHoIo2bOLwPwhm6mIX2Mb2UQ/s1600-h/Fishes_Mada+.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 211px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMm4PKe2M6r6Epp2yBJy5ieY1wvbX73BhWo8jR5bPSBrhAYoeoA0kczgWGQ2p6dzcCF1FyvsQI52vwblamPyheieCRZ2DiB3fNcJDpG2aPc-o53fiHoIo2bOLwPwhm6mIX2Mb2UQ/s320/Fishes_Mada+.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317067899938876738" border="0" /></a><br />Why are some fish unsafe to eat?<br />Many lakes, rivers, and oceans contain mercury and other chemical pollution.

Just crop some of your sweet corn early. Field, regular, sweet improved or super sweet corn selections work great for baby corn. You don't need to buy the fancy stuff from the store.Corn cherish so quickly that appropriates harvest is essential. In an extra day or two, the corn can grow larger than you might like for baby corn, giving a tougher and larger ear than might be good in a blend fry dish or salad.Baby corn ears are best croped when they are two to four inches long and a third to two-thirds of an inch in diameter, whether full-grown with a regular or close spacing pattern.<br />To produce baby corn at the great time takes practice. You might need to yield a few at different stage each day for a few days to learn precisely when the baby corn is at the perfect stage for you. Start by harvesting ears where silk appears that day. Each ear may reach this stage at a different time on each plant, so you'll have to watch your plants closely.Refrigerate baby corn, with husks on, right away after harvest if you don't use it right away. Baby corn can be pickled or canned, or blanched and frozen.<br />A few seed group offer special baby corn varieties, grown solely for baby corn. These varieties are just as big as regular corn plants, but may have more ears per plant. They are not dwarf corn plants. If baby corn varieties were allowed to mature, they would look like a characteristic medium-sized ear of field or sweet corn.If you want to grow a patch of corn specifically for baby corn, you can save space by planting corn seed much closer together than usual. Sow each seed about four inches apart in the row. Keep the row spacing to the normal 30 to 36 inches apart.Baby corn has fewer pest problems than full-sized ears of corn. Corn earworms and cucumber beetles generally do their damage later, when the corn ear is filling out and maturing.Baby corn is has not been widely commercially produced in the United States because it has to be harvested and processed by hand. But small local farms are starting to produce baby corn for local fresh markets.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ftbl.com/">Fantasy Football</a>Spiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09365436516762275321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12240224.post-62654874695534050202009-03-11T03:56:00.001-07:002010-11-23T02:12:42.863-08:00Honey as MedicineHoney is a widely used food .Because of its sweetness, pleasing taste and aroma. Since honey is a natural stiff and is food for the honeybee, there has been much gossip as to its value in the nutrition of man. Honey is prepared from the nectar of flowers by worker bees and stored in the honeycomb. Even though honey is derived principally from nectaries of flowers, we cannot overlook the part the honeybee plays in storing the nectar in the hive and in handing out it to its final form. Thus honey should be watchful the product of the bee processed from a plant product.<br /><br />The analysis of honey has revealed that it consists of approxi mately 75-80% sugar, mainly invert sugar, which is a conversion product of sucrose. Schuette et al.<br />( '32, '37, '38, '39) have shown the occurrence of mineral elements in honey. Extraordinary among these are iron, copper, sodium, potassium, manganese, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, all of which have been shown to be essential to good diet of animals. Since honey is in essence derived from the flower and moreover is a food forthe bee, much speculation has arisen as to its vitamin content, especially because great emphasis has been placed on the importance of vitamins in human nutrition. It seems that this problem has interested workers for two decades, many ofwhom have reported the absence of vitamins A, B, C, D, and Ein honey. These results may be interpreted in the light of the methods employed, which have been much improved in recent years.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ftbl.com/">Fantasy Football</a>Spiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09365436516762275321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12240224.post-23993683634773958362008-12-16T01:02:00.000-08:002010-11-23T02:14:55.851-08:00Typography<div style="text-align: justify;">Typography is the art and techniques of arranging type, type design, and modifying type glyphs.

The noun product (prod'əkt or-ukt) is "a thing produced by labor or effort". Since 1575, the word "product" has referred to anything produced. Since 1695, the word has referred to "thing or things produced". The economic or commercial meaning of product was first used by following economist Adam Smith.<br /><br />In general practice, product may refer to a single item or unit, a group of equal products, a grouping of goods or services, or an industrial categorization for the goods or services.<br /><br /></div><a href="http://www.ftbl.com/">Fantasy Football</a>Spiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09365436516762275321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12240224.post-65376453221611193702008-04-22T19:34:00.000-07:002010-11-23T02:16:27.897-08:00Reptiles<div style="text-align: justify;">The most conspicuous aspect of reptiles is the scales that wrap their corpse.

A literal transformation would be "to describe the Earth". The first person to use the word "geography" was Eratosthenes (275-195 B.C.). Four historical civilization in geographical research are the spatial analysis of natural and human phenomena, area studies, study of man-land relationship, and investigate in earth sciences. Nonetheless, modern geography is an all-inclusive discipline that foremost seeks to understand the world and all of its human and natural complexities-- not merely where things are, but how they have changed and come to be. It is said to be the "mother of all math" and "the synthesizer of information." Geography is mainly divided into two main branches - human geography and physical geography.<br /><br />conventionally, geography as well as geographers has been viewed as the same as cartography and people who study place names. Although many geographers are capable in toponymy and cartography, this is not their main preoccupation. Geographers study the spatial and temporal allotment of phenomena, processes and feature as well as the interaction of humans and their environment. As space and place persuade a variety of topics such as economics, health, climate, plants and animals, geography is highly interdisciplinary.<br /></div><br /><a href="http://www.halloweenfantasy.com/"></a> <a href="http://www.ftbl.com/">Fantasy Football</a>Spiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09365436516762275321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12240224.post-48909225622979929992008-02-14T23:34:00.000-08:002010-11-23T02:20:16.135-08:00SportsSport is an activity to facilitate is governed by a set of rules or customs and frequently engaged in competitively.
