When gas costs skyrocketed a few past years, various people rapidly took an interest in alternative energy and fuels. Furthermore as requirement grew, companies rapidly start themselves mandatory to take interest. The majority of the usual arguments for alternative energy and fuels focus on problems of pollution, price, reliance, and jobs.

What nearly all people do not understand is that alternative energy and fuels always have ecological consequence s. This may be by means of a heat generation, air pollutants, dissipated by-products, land manipulation, lineage, etc. Rather, we should talk regarding advantages and disadvantages of each kind of energy and fuel. There is no gray shot. Prices, reliance, and jobs too differ depending on the energy type.

There are a multitude of alternative energies being checked. Wind powered energy plants are previously prepared in number of parts of the world. Solar energy production has laid big steps ahead in assistance of nano technology. Nanosolar company is one example. Nanosolar is manufacturing solar cells which are 100 times slimmer than traditional cells. Not lone are the cells cheaper to manufacture, but they also translate the solar energy much more effectively. OTEC that is ‘Ocean thermal energy conversion’ utilizes the temperature variations in the ocean layers to deliver energy. Plus OTEC may use this colder water (36 degree F cooler) in other things such as on shore farming and refrigeration. And the list increases.

Great interest was produced in alternative fuels this past year after gas prices crossed record levels. New advancements in battery technology might help. One such advancement is Millennium Cell's hydrogen battery technology. This technology varies significantly from conventional rechargeable batteries in which it is immediately rechargeable. It moreover has a much great effectiveness for energy conversion, so it is greatly smaller and lighter. There is in addition greater recycle efficiency as you do not require to swap the entire battery. You just requre to replace the energy module. Improvement s are enduring in biodiesel, methanol, hydrogen, electric, etc. I believe there might be some serious future synergy among nano technology and alternative energy

While the Supreme Court has postponed until September 28 its hearing on a plea to defer the Allahabad high court's verdict in the Ayodhya title suit, in the pilgrim town itself, there's no dispute: The place was, and is, Ramjanmabhoomi for its Hindus.

Nowhere in Ayodhya, not in shop addresses or official signages, in the directions yelled out to lost visitors from teashops or police chowkies, or anywhere close to the disputed area, is the "spot" referred to as anything else but Ramjanmabhoomi. Even the official parlance refers to it as Janmabhoomi. For a disputed structure, there is remarkably little dispute.

The first and only time that TOI saw or heard the word Babri all day was in a cramped two-room house where a 90-year-old man with a hearing aid was being harangued by journalists. 'Babri Masjid Reconstruction Committee' read the hand-painted words on the doorway to Mohammed Hashim Ansari's house. One of the litigants, and the last surviving of the six who were on the same petition, Ansari demands that the court give its verdict soon. "At least in my lifetime," he says pleadingly, adding, "All of Ayodhya's Muslims are waiting for this."

Bangle-seller Mohammed Arif's family has lived here in the old city for four generations. "I was here when they broke the mosque and I saw the city aflame," he says softly and with no anger. "Everyone knows what happened. It was on TV. We don't want to stir up trouble. If that means not referring to the area as Babri any more, so be it," he says. Arif and his family have little interest in the verdict. "They can build a church if they want, I don't care," he says. But they're all watching TV intently on the pavement outside his shop. "For news of trouble," says his teenaged daughter Saira.

"There are two parallel forces in the country, one that supports anarchy and one that supports the rule of law," says Khalid Ahmed, who heads the Helal Committee which offers legal help to the two disputing sides. "The first one gave its judgment on December 6, 1992, when it tore down the mosque, killed 17 Muslims in Ayodhya and burnt down 450 shops, punishing Muslims for the sins of their forefathers. We are still waiting for the judgment of the other force," says Ahmed.


"The point isn't that everyone calls it Ramjanmabhoomi; the point is, it is Ramjanmabhoomi," says Purshottam Kumar, owner of Shri Ram Chandra ki Sarvottam Samagri, a shop in the main market that sells religious paraphernalia: from headbands worn by karsevaks in 1992 to strings of prayer beads and saffron scarves. Kumar's is the fifth generation that has lived and worked on the same spot and he explains that each generation has known that this is the place where Ram was born and that there was a temple. "What will the court's judgment change? Nothing," he says smiling benignly. "Every Hindu knows in his heart that this is the Ramjanmabhoomi and it will not be anything else."

The security is heavy: two rings of fencing, one yellow, one barbed, guarded by village chowkidars, home guards, the PAC, Rapid Action Force and CRPF. CCTVs hover over, ominously overseen by armed men on watchtowers. At the entrance, every object on one's person including belts and pens is removed. There are five full-body checks. A group of women from Gujarat is on a pilgrimage. They will go from here to Nepal. "We've come to take Ram's darshan. There used to be a mosque nearby but went long ago," explains Sushilaben Kanojia of Rajkot.

After walking for several minutes inside what feels like a labyrinth, devotees are deposited 10 feet away from a statue of Ram, Sita, Laxman and Bharat, a fence separating them from visitors. A sign reads 'Don't Wait Here'. The sanctum sanctorum is enveloped on all sides by a tent. This is where the Babri Masjid once stood. Not just the mosque, not even rubble is visible any more. Obviously, there is no Muslim worship here.

Adrenal cancer does not always produce symptoms. Both nonfunctioning adrenocortical carcinomas and large functioning tumors may cause are fever, palpable abdominal mass, persistent abdominal pain, sensation of abdominal fullness, and weight loss.Additional symptoms of functioning adrenocortical carcinoma depend on which hormones are overproduced. Overproduction of androgens usually does not produce symptoms in men because the testicles produce testosterone, which is a more potent androgen.

Rarely, abnormal breast enlargement occurs in men. Excess androgens may cause early puberty in children and masculinization in women and children.Some common symptoms associated with adrenal gland tumors are low potassium levels, high blood pressure, nervousness, anxiety, heart palpitations, diabetes and developing stretch marks over the abdominal area.People experiencing any of these symptoms should consult a doctor immediately, as adrenal gland tumors can release hormones which can result in hormonal imbalances.

More severe symptoms associated with adrenal gland tumors include the feeling of always being full and never being hungry, fever, abdominal mass, weight loss and severe abdominal pain. These symptoms are rare, but if you experience them, seek medical attention immediately.People with an adrenal gland tumor may experience the following symptoms. Sometimes, people with an adrenal gland tumor do not show any of these symptoms. Or, these symptoms may be caused by a medical condition that is not a tumor.

If you are concerned about a symptom on this list, please talk with your doctor.In addition, pheochromocytoma may cause dangerous surges of the adrenal gland hormones that regulate blood pressure and response to stress. A hormonal surge can cause blood pressure to increase dramatically and can dangerously increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, hemorrhage, or sudden death. For more information, see the Symptoms section of Cancer.Net’s Guide to Neuroendocrine Tumor.

There are some important tips to prevent formation of eye sty. To prevent eye sty, wash your hands after any activity or after going to bathroom. Avoid touching your eyes as most of the children do after being tired. Touching with bare hands should be avoided especially if you have sore eyes. Avoid using pressure to drain the eye sty; it will burst on its own. If you try to squeeze eye sty, infection can seep into the blood stream.

Do not pop it like a pimple; it can increase the infection to other eye also. If you have touched any wound, pimple or boil, wash your hands thoroughly before touching eyes. Use clean disinfected cotton swab or cotton ball to clean areas around eye to avoid spreading of infection. Use two different cotton swabs for both eyes. Never share your eye makeup; face cloth or towel with others as sharing of these personal objects can cause spreading of infection among various people.

While it is impossible to completely prevent the development of a sty, good hygienic practices, including proper hand washing, can help prevent all forms of infection, including a sty. Other measures that can help prevent styes include

1.Not touching the eye and surrounding areas.
2.Keeping all cosmetics clean.
3.Discarding old or contaminated eye makeup.
4.Keeping eye tools clean.
5.Never sharing cosmetics or cosmetic eye tools (such as lash curlers or eyelash combs) with others.

Stye prevention is closely related to proper hygiene. Proper hand washing can not only reduce the risks of developing styes, but all other types of infections.

Upon awakening, application of a warm washcloth to the eyelids for one to two minutes may be beneficial in decreasing the occurrence of styes by liquefying the contents of the oil glands of the eyelid and thereby preventing blockage. Some studies suggest oral flaxseed supplementation to prevent the occurrence of styes.

In order to prevent developing styes it is recommended to never share cosmetics or cosmetic eye tools with other people. People should also keep their eye tools clean and generally having proper eye hygiene. Women are recommended to remove makeup every night before going to sleep and discard old or contaminated eye makeup.

Mahindra Mojo engine

Could the Mahindra Mojo be powered by a liquid cooled 300cc engine with fuel injection? When you’re talking of high displacement, the cooling system needs to be liquid. Liquid absorbs heat better, and Mahindra’s teaser video it previewed earlier this month, had a bike with a radiator. The Mahindra Mojo might be installed with a 4-valve engine. The bike’s electronic fuel injection system might come from an Italian motorcycle company (maybe Ducati?) which responds to throttle inputs as well as other parameters such as gradient and instructs the injector to deliver a richer mixture. The engine has dual exhausts which ease back pressure and should generate an awesome note while revved.
Mahindra Mojo suspension

The Mojo could come with inverted front forks usually found on motorcycles that belong to racing teams. At the rear Mahindra could fit the Mojo with gas chargers that respond to the terrain better and keep the riders on their seats all the time.
Mahindra Mojo brakes

The Mahindra Mojo could come fitted with disc brakes to the front and rear alloy wheels. The disc brakes provide immediate stopping power and suffer less from fading. They could also get radial calipers which are more effective compared to regular ones.
Mahindra Mojo instrument cluster

The Mahindra Mojo could get a digital instrument cluster that notifies the rider of speed, fuel remaining, rpm and time. There could also be an gear indicator and all this lights up on a blue background, perhaps?
Mahindra Mojo electricals

The Mojo gets twin headlamps (from the teaser video) and it could have LED tail lamps that are resistant to failure during extreme vibration, have longer life and consume lesser power. As a safety feature, Mahindra should think of placing LED indicator lights on the mirrors of the Mahindra Mojo.

Veteran BJP leader and Gujarat Assembly Speaker Ashok Chandulal Bhatt died late evening on Wednesday. He was 71.

The end came at a private hospital in Ahmedabad. Bhatt, who was suffering from heart ailment, was on ventilator since Tuesday night after his condition turned critical. Earlier this month, he had to be rushed to hospital with breathing difficulties but was discharged a couple of days later after his condition improved.

Bhatt’s body will be kept at his residence in Khadia from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. for the public to pay their last respects. Later, his body will be taken to the Assembly at Gandhinagar for paying state honours from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. The funeral will be held at 12 noon. A two-day state mourning has been declared in Gujarat.

Chief Minister Narendra Modi has expressed his deep condolences over the demise of Bhatt.

Bhatt had started his public life as a student activist, taking part in the Maha Gujarat agitation, which eventually gave birth to the state of Gujarat in 1960. He subsequently joined the Jansangh and was the president of Bhartiya Janata Yuva Morcha from 1976 to 1980. Bhatt, who underwent imprisonment during the Emergency,. became a municipal councillor in Ahmadabad in 1973 and was chairman of the Gujarat Slum Clearance Board during 1977-80.

After first being elected to the Assembly in 1975 from Khadia in Ahmedabad, Bhatt went on to be an MLA for no less than 8 consecutive terms, holding several positions, including chairing the Public Accounts Committee. As a cabinet minister, he had held several portfolios down the years, ranging from Civil Supplies, Revenue, Jails, Labour and Employment, Health and Family Welfare, Law and Justice, Legislative and Parliamentary Affairs, Cow-breeding, Devasthanam and Pilgrimage Development. He was also the BJP whip in the Assembly from 1980 to 1990.Bhatt is survived by his wife Jyoti, three sons and a daughter. One of his sons, Bhushan Bhatt, is a municipal councillor in AMC.

A day ahead of the Babri Masjid-Ramjanmabhoomi verdict that will put to test India’s ideal of religious tolerance, India was on alert Wednesday with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress president Sonia Gandhi, among others, appealing for peace and mutual respect.

While the central and state governments stepped up security to ward off any communal trouble following the verdict on the 61-year-old dispute, some said India had moved on since 1992 when the Babri Masjid was demolished by Hindu radicals who believed it was built on the birthplace of Lord Ram.

The demolition of the 16th century mosque in Uttar Pradesh’ town of Ayodhya triggered widespread riots in which at least 2,000 people were killed.

In a passionate appeal, put out as a half-page newspaper advertisement, the prime minister urged people to treat the verdict by the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court on the land dispute with “utmost respect”.

“We must remember the fact that the judgment, at this stage, is one step in the judicial process. The determination of the issues need not necessarily end with this judgment, unless it is accepted by all parties,” the prime minister said amid apprehensions that the ruling could reopen the volatile communal issue.

The three-judge bench will deliver the verdict at 3.30 p.m. Thursday. But the ruling can be challenged in the Supreme Court if any of the parties is not satisfied with the court decision.

Appealing to all sections of people to maintain “equanimity and tranquility”, Manmohan Singh said if any of the parties to the dispute feels that further judicial consideration is required, “there are legal remedies available, which could be resorted to”. Congress president and chairperson of the ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Sonia Gandhi asked people to “respect the verdict of the independent judiciary of India”.

“I respectfully request you to have faith in the judicial system and maintain brotherhood at any cost,” Gandhi said in her appeal written in Hindi.

Added Home Minister P. Chidambaram: “India has moved on, especially the people who were born after 1992 have a different world view.”

“I hope peace and communal harmony will be maintained,” he said, disclosing that more 1.90 lakh “policemen from all formations” would be deployed in Uttar Pradesh.

A senior official added that Uttar Pradesh would be the focus of security action, particularly Ayodhya, the location of the dispute, and Lucknow, where the verdict would be delivered.

Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka and Kerala are some of the states where the judgment could “evoke sharp reaction”, the central government believes.

At a time when the Indian capital is set to host its biggest international sporting event, the Commonwealth Games, beginning Sunday, the home ministry has asked states to strictly enforce security measures in sensitive locations. Administrations have been asked to activate peace committees of Hindus and Muslims.

A special alert has been sounded for cities like Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bhiwandi, Bhopal, Bangalore, Coimbatore and Hyderabad that have a history of communal flare-ups. Leaders are also sounding caution and appealing for calm irrespective of which side the scales tilt.

The Darul Uloom Deoband, a leading Muslim seminary, has said any reaction to the judgment should be legal.

“The issue has lingered for the last 60 years… it is time the matter is sorted out. We pray peace and harmony is maintained. If any party feels dissatisfied we can always approach the Supreme Court,” Maulana Abdul Khaliq Madrasi, a teacher of the seminary, told IANS.

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) too said peace and order should prevail irrespective of the ruling.“The temple will be constructed whatever the court decision would be. But we believe in democratic institutions and would appeal to all our activists and volunteers to maintain peace and order after the verdict,” VHP leader Vinod Bansal told IANS.

“We have made peace appeals in the past as well and do so today also… Peace and communal harmony should not be disturbed. We hope that the verdict will be a positive turning point for the Hindu-Muslim unity in India. Indians have matured and have prepared their mind to accept and respect the court verdict,” Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi of the BJP told IANS.

Yoga refers to traditional physical and mental disciplines originating in India. The word is associated with meditative practices in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. In Hinduism, it also refers to one of the six orthodox schools of Hindu philosophy, and to the goal toward which that school directs its practices. In Jainism it refers to the sum total of all activities mental, verbal and physical.

Major branches of yoga in Hindu philosophy include Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Hatha Yoga. Raja Yoga, compiled in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and known simply as yoga in the context of Hindu philosophy, is part of the Samkhya tradition. Many other Hindu texts discuss aspects of yoga, including Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Shiva Samhita and various Tantras.

The Sanskrit word yoga has many meanings, and is derived from the Sanskrit root yuj, meaning “to control”, “to yoke” or “to unite”. Translations include “joining”, “uniting”, “union”, “conjunction”, and “means”. Outside India, the term yoga is typically associated with Hatha Yoga and its asanas or as a form of exercise. Someone who practices yoga or follows the yoga philosophy is called a Yogi.

Indian cricket captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Sunday led his IPL club, Chennai Super Kings to a convincing 8-wicket victory over local side, Eastern Cape Warriors in the grand final of the Champions League Twenty 20 tournament at the New Wanderers Stadium here in South Africa. Winning the toss and batting first, the Warriors were restricted by spin bowlers Ravichandran Ashwin and Muttiah Muralitharan to 128/7 in the stipulated 20 overs. Nothing much was left for the Chennai batsmen after that.

Powered by a 103-run first wicket partnership between Mike Hussey and Murali Vijay, CSK steadily finished off the task, with an over to spare. Skipper Dhoni scored the winning runs, hitting a mid-on boundary off an over pitched ball by Warriors bowler, Juan Theron. Today’s win completed Chennai Super Kings’ season double, with both the IPL and CL T20 title in its coffers.

A footbridge being built near the main stadium for the Commonwealth Games collapsed Tuesday, injuring 23 construction workers and putting the event in further jeopardy less than two weeks before the opening ceremony.

The accident was the latest setback to New Delhi's troubled preparations for the games, which bring together more than 7,000 athletes and officials from the 71 countries and territories in the commonwealth every four years.

Of the 23 workers who were hurt, five were seriously injured and taken to hospitals after the collapse of the footbridge, said police officer H.G.S. Dhaliwal.

The bridge connects the JawaHarlal Nehru Stadium - the site of the opening and closing ceremonies and the track and field competition for the Oct. 3-14 games - with a parking lot.

Earlier in the day, Commonwealth Games Federation president Michael Fennell contacted the Indian government and urged them to finish work on the athletes' village, which many have called "unlivable."

The much-awaited judgment on Friday to decide the title suit on ownership of the land on which the Babri Mosque stood in Ayodhya until its demolition on December 6, 1992 involves 28 issues framed by the special Lucknow

bench of the Allahabad high court.

The court may not rule on each of these issues, but it seems to have left no avenue unexplored, even directing excavation of the site to unearth evidence.

There are actually five title suits before the court that it has to decide on even though its ruling will also dispose of dozens of other petitions for access, right to worship or pray, write petitions and the like.

It is to be seen whether the court can settle issues that are historical or mythological, as back in 1994, the Supreme Court had refused to go into these very aspects while returning a Presidential reference on the matter.

The first suit goes back to 1885 when Mahant Raghubar Das filed a title suit in a Faizabad court to build a chabutra (raised platform) on the outer courtyard of the disputes structure, but his suit was dismissed on the ground that the event (alleged demolition of an original Ram temple in 1528) had occurred over 350 years earlier, and so it was 'too late now' to remedy the grievance.

It was revived in December 1949 when some people broke open the structure's locks and installed a Ram idol and articles of worship and the administration ordered the status quo that led to two separate civil suits filed on January 16, 1950 by Hindu Mahasabha member late Gopal Singh Visharad and Paramhansa Ramchandra Das, keeper of the Digambar Akhada in Ayodhya.

Friday's judgment will not be a final verdict on the dispute that has been raging for decades as to whether there was the Ram mandir at the site that was pulled down to build the mosque, as it can be appealed in the Supreme Court by either side.

Even the Supreme Court ruling can be challenged for a review by the same bench or by a 5-judge bench through a curative petition.

All the same, the issues that the judges framed for ruling try to cover every possible aspect under the legal system.

These include:
Whether the demolished structure was a mosque as claimed by the plaintiff Muslim organisations;
If so, when was it built and by whom -- Mughal emperor Babar or his Awadh governor Mir Baqi Tashqandi;
Was it built on the site of a demolished Hindu temple?
Whether Muslims prayed in the Babri mosque from time immemorial;
Whether they possessed the property openly and continuously from 1528 when it was allegedly built;
Whether they possessed it till 1949 when they were dispossessed;
Whether the suit was filed too late;
Whether the Hindus have earned the right to pray at the site through adverse and continuous possession;
Whether the plot is Ram's birthplace;
Whether Hindus have worshipped the site as Ram's birthplace from time immemorial;
Whether the idols and other objects of worship were placed in the structure on the night of December 22-23, 1949, or whether they had been there before.

The wait is finally over and now we have the winner of US Open 2010. Everyone has been asking who won the US open 2010? Who is the winner of 2010 US open tennis tournament? The answer: Rafael Nadal is the winner of US Open 2010. Since Sunday, everyone was eagerly waiting for the men’s final results. But rain played a spoilsport and everyone had to wait for Monday as the match was postponed to Monday.

Nadal won his 1st US open championship this year to become the 7th player in history to complete a career Grand Slam. He had to wait for nearly 2 hour rain delay and finally the moment came on Monday night.

Nadal, the top seed, beat 3rd seeded Djokovic, 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 to win his 9th major title at the age of 24 years 101 days. He is the 3rd youngest to have at least once at the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open.

The US Open 2010 victory is Nadal’s third consecutive major title this year after victories at the French Open and Wimbledon.

NEW YORK -- A little more than an hour after wasting two match points and losing in the U.S. Open semifinals, Roger Federer headed for the exit.

Dressed in his on-court outfit -- powder-blue shirt, brown shorts, custom-made sneakers with the New York skyline sketched on the heels -- Federer walked out of Arthur Ashe Stadium, accompanied by his wife. Between licks of a lollipop, he paused to tell tournament workers, "See you next year."

So used to playing in the final at Flushing Meadows, the five-time champion left earlier than usual. With everyone expecting a Rafa vs. Roger title match at the U.S. Open, Novak Djokovic got in the way.

Djokovic prevented what would have been the eighth Grand Slam championship match between tennis' top two men -- and first such showdown at Flushing Meadows -- by coming back to stun Federer 5-7, 6-1, 5-7, 6-2, 7-5 in Saturday's semifinals.

"They all pretty much feel the same. They feel somewhat empty at the end, because you have tried everything -- and maybe it was luck. Maybe it was he played well. Maybe you didn't pick the right shot. Maybe he did," said Federer, who had won 45 of his previous 46 matches at the U.S. Open, reaching six consecutive finals.

"You feel like you left something out there if you lose a match having had match point," Federer added. "It wasn't a final, so I'm not as disappointed if it would have been a final."

Dabangg, the new flick has been released today. Salman Khan plays the role of Chulbul Pandey, a cop in Uttar Pradesh who provides hell to criminals and also makes certain that he personally gains something from them. In an amazingly choreographed sequence, he is seen beating a gang of robbers in order to pulp and keep the amount with himself. In fact, the land where he is working is a lawless one and thus he makes the most out of it.

Another well cast actor in the movie is Sonu Sood who plays the role of a local politician as Chhedi Singh. He has thebone to pick with Salman and utilizes the cop’s animosity against all his family as a great ploy to get with him. Then there is Sonakshi Sinha as Rajjo. Just as the villain, you can see the village beauty in her. She makes a really nice debut and stands up to her co stars in most of the scenes.

Malaika Arora Khan, seen as Munni dances amazingly on the beats of Sajid Wajid’s number Munni Badnaam Hui as Chhedi Singh tries hard to serenade Munni. But it is just till Chulbul comes forward.

Despite the movie’s dated appeal, Abhinav Kashyap offers the film a novel like treatment thereby lending zing to it. He plays to gallery brazenly however he keeps in mind that the movie is held together by strong premise and that too of the dysfunctional family which comes together in case of any crisis. Kashyap has indeed shot action scenes with all aplomb, has extracted superb performances from the actors and has kept the speed a bit fast.
