The official position of the American Physical Society (APS) supports the theory that man’s actions have inexorably led to the warming of the planet, through increased emissions of carbon dioxide…
“The claim … is that the temperature has changed from ~288.0 to ~288.8 degree Kelvin in about 150 years, which (if true) means to me is that the temperature has been amazingly stable, and both human health and happiness have definitely improved in this ‘warming’ period,” his email message said.
Scientists (?), who refuse to acknowledge facts which they can not explain, are bound to come with an explanation that these lines are natural Phenomena that is caused by shifting sands, Solar Storms etc. which again can never be verified!
They stretch from Syria to Saudi Arabia, can be seen from the air but not the ground, and are virtually unknown to the public.
They are the Middle East’s own version of the Nazca Lines — ancient “geolyphs,” or drawings, that span deserts in southern Peru — and now, thanks to new satellite-mapping technologies, and an aerial photography program in Jordan, researchers are discovering more of them than ever before. They number well into the thousands.
Referred to by archaeologists as “wheels,” these stone structures have a wide variety of designs, with a common one being a circle with spokes radiating inside. Researchers believe that they date back to antiquity, at least 2,000 years ago. They are often found on lava fields and range from 82 feet to 230 feet (25 meters to 70 meters) across. [See gallery of wheel structures]
“In Jordan alone we’ve got stone-built structures that are far more numerous than (the) Nazca Lines, far more extensive in the area that they cover, and far older,” said David Kennedy, a professor of classics and ancient history at the University of Western Australia.
What is purely a personal affair has been brought into the open unnecessarily.
The Karnataka Film Producers Association (KFPA), has no business to interfere in the personal lives of people, let alone ban an artist.
The concept of banning an artiste is contrary to Right to Work and is not Constitutionally valid.
These strong-arm tactics must stop what ever be the issue.
The Association is not a Law enforcing Authority.
Now the question of Vijayalakshmi retracting her statement
It is curious to note that major chunk of the actor‘s properties are in the name of Vikayalakshmi and the actor’s parent live separately.
And this is not the first time she has brought the quarrel in public.
Media has been paying too much attention on this issue.
Does any one see any design?
If one has an affair, it is his business.
If the wife can not correct him or live with him why not go in for a divorce?
The Producers Association has come with egg on its face.
They have been taking funny and arbitrary decisions which bids ill for the Karnataka Film Industry.
They ban dubbing other language films in Kannada, force theaters and malls to screen Kannada Films for a minimum period.
They issue red cards for actors at the drop of a hat.
They should know Film is business and not a place for sentiments.
It is better for them to know marketing rather than take silly measures which will affect the Sandalwood Film Industry in the long run.
(I remember some joker went on TV when there was some tamasha cricket match featuring Film Stars ( around IPL 2011 time) stating that the Film Producers encourage these games to raise funds to produce more Kannada films and the actors will go and play in villages of Karnataka.!)
Story line.
Actor had family feud with his wife Vijayalakshmi whom he beat blue to the extent that she had to be hospitalized;she had initially lodged a complaint with the police in Bangalore that he attempted to murder her on more than one occasion;she retracted her statement and withdrew her complaint couple of days later;police still fight the case in the court;KarnatakaFilm Producer‘s Association slapped a ban on the actressNikita Thukralfrom acting in Kannada Films.
Film personalities keep quiet on the ban.
First family of Kannada films Rajkumar Family condemns this autocratic behavior to the extent of considering floating a parallel Producers’ Forum.
Chastened the Producers’ Association revokes the ban by a letter dripping with sarcasm, addressed to Nikita Thukral.
In a below-the-belt response, Muniratna on Thursday read out contents of the letter that announced the lifting the ban on her.
‘The letter said, “It is our foolishness to ban a Kannada actress with good tradition, culture, respectful, saint, one with all virtues, without a black spot, with heart like milk, polyglot artiste. We have realised that it was our mistake to ban such a good lady. The reason for taking back the ban is that many intellectuals have said the ban was wrong.” The letter also says that Parvathamma was like a mother who had brought them back on the right track. Muniratna also announced a ban on the word ‘ban’ from the Kannada film industry though it was clear that the producers association has no powers to impose such a ban.’ http://www.bangaloremirror.com/article/10/2011091520110915213018426a573e138/Muni-Niki-win-in-L%E2%80%99Affaire-Darshan.html
One can understand Pakistan ‘revealing’, but what does Cameron mean?
Is he sending a message to his handler in KGB’s SVR, which looks after spies abroad?
NEW DELHI: Indian intelligence tried to recruitSyed Saleem Shahzad, the Pakistani journalist killed in May, the New Yorker magazine has said. It also said the order for his killing came from an officer on army chief General Ashfaq Kayani‘s staff.
When Shahzad attended a conference in New Delhi last year, “officers from an Indian intelligence agency offered to put him on a retainer”, The New Yorker reported, quotingRoger van Zwanenberg, the publisher of Pluto Press, London, which published Shahzad’s book on terrorism recently.
But to release in an Advertisement in an influential Journal in US, like The Wall Street Journal magazine ‘declaring Pakistan is a Martyr in the fight against Terrorism’, listing its achievement(?) in containing Terrorism, takes the cake in sheer Effrontery.
TIME should declare a Special Category for Annual Awards and Pakistan will win by a mile!
Pakistan’s advertisement in The Wall Street Journal on Saturday.
“Which country can do more for your peace?” the ad asks, sitting below a story on page A10 of the U.S. Journal’s Saturday/Sunday edition titled “When the Towers Came Down.”
“Since 2001 a nation of 180 million has been fighting for the future of world’s 7 billion!” it continues.”Can any other country do so? Only Pakistan…Promising peace to the world.”
Pakistani army and civilian officials complain that in the U.S. their country is often portrayed in the media and by members of Congress as a double-dealing ally that takes billions of dollars in U.S. aid but secretly helps the Taliban kill U.S. soldiers.
Pakistan’s leaders have been publicly trying to promote a competing narrative, but with almost no success.
In their telling, Pakistan did foster Islamist militant groups, first to fight Soviet troops in Afghanistan and then Indian soldiers in Kashmir. Pakistan military and civilian officials point out the U.S. was all for the Mujahideen war against Moscow in the 1980s. But in the past decade, Pakistan’s army has severed its links with militants, who have unleashed a bloody war against Pakistan’s army and government, according to Islamabad’s narrative.
Pakistani officials regularly tell this version of events in public speechs and to visiting U.S. officials and journalists. The military has even made a local TV drama featuring real soldiers to publicize its sacrifices in the war against militants.
The advert in the Journal seeks to give the message to a wider audience.
To underline its point, the ad carries a picture of Benazir Bhutto, Pakistan’s former prime minister who was assassinated by Islamist militants in 2007, next to the slogan, “The promise of our martyrs lives on…”
