Pictures of New Brazilian Tribe Discovered

Is it possible to find a group of people who has never seen an advanced culture for thousands of years. Totally isolated from the world, without mobiles, cars and internet. Recently scientist found an ancient tribe, hidden deep inside Brazilian forest. Not as fossils, but living totally isolated from the rest of the world. The picture was taken by a passing plane. They were actually firing arrows at the plane.

What kind of life they have, Can you imagine living without knowing anything?Wait a second, they must be the happiest people in the whole world. They don't need to suffer 20 years to go through education and finally find a job that can pay the bills(barely). They don't need to get up in the morning and get stressed up when you remember the things you have to do today. No price hikes,debts or constant desire to earn more money.What more do you need. Most of us are going through education just to survive the complicated world that we created ourselves. Sometimes I feel like that we are trapped inside our own concrete jungle.

Scientists fear that these tribes could be wiped out by disease if they get contacted by illegal logger or oil explorers. The black and red dyes covering their bodies are made from crushed seeds and are believed to signal aggression, native-rights experts say. Come to think of that, this could be the first impression that an alien space ship coming to explore our world might get. Its foolish to think that they are aggressive. Its natural to shoot arrows at the giant bird that suddenly looms across their village, its called self defense.

Cheap Stuff That Changed The World

These are few things that changed the world from its innovation. The most resent one is Tata Nano. The car which costs only 2500$. This car will surely have a great impact on car makers around the world. At the current cost of oil, a car that runs 20 km per liter is like a treasure trove for people in Asia. I simply love this machine, looks very cute. Read some of its specifications here

In 2007 Nicholas Negroponte thought of giving one lap top per child in the world. One lap top costing only 100$. Later they had to increase its price to 188$, but its still a very good deal.This laptop revolutionized the way people think about developing cheaper mobile devices.



In 2005 Apple introduced its ipod shuffle, which now costs only 49$.



In 1967 Japanes Amana Radarange microwave oven sold only for 495$. Wich was the first Microwave to be sold less than 3000$.




In 1939 during the depression-era a Hard Back cost about 3$. But with the introduction of paper back books the price droped to 25 cents. The first paper back Good Earth sold more than 1.8 million copies.

Send Panties For Peace In Burma

There is a belief in Burma that if a powerful man gets contact with womens cloths, he looses his power. The military junta has a superstitious belief that contact with females, even their clothing, will make them weak. Burma is considered one of the worst places when it comes to human rights. I found out about this activist group called Panties For Peace which encourage people to send women panties against slave labor , rape and murders happen inside Burma for 20 years.

Since we initiated the panties for peace campaign for Burma, women’s panties (as well as male underwear) have been mailed out by activists to Burma’s foreign missions in Australia, Singapore, and European countries.

Says a website. Its sad to see most of the south Asian countries are systematically driven into humanitarian mayhem. This campaign probably end with no results. but doing something is better than doing nothing. So ladies, start sending some panties and make this world a better place.

China Earthquake -Wedding Photo Shoot

This was an email sent by one of my friends.Truely amazing.................

It was a day to remember... Their Wedding shoot. At the famous 100-year-old Church of the Annunciation in Pengzhou , China . Very early morning May 12, photographer Wang went about preparing to shoot wedding pictures for a young couple, this was the test shot before the shoot...

Pengzhou is located in the Sichuan province. It was morning May 12, 2008. And then it happened.... the earth quake! 7.8 on the Richter scale.

Bricks fall from the building during the earthquake, which turned Wang from a wedding photographer into a journalist.'Thank God we were only shooting from outside the church!' remarked a helper.

The stunned couple huddles together at the church ground during initial tremors. 'I shouted to people, 'Run! Run!'' said photographer Wang Qiang. 'The ground shook and we couldn't see anything in the dust.' As the dust began to clear, the true extent of damage was only beginning to appear...

A cracked facade was all that remained of the 100-year-old Church of the Annunciation after the quake. Most of the church 'collapsed in 10 seconds,' said Wang, who lives in Chengdu , capital of hard-hit Sichuan province.

Organic Solar Cell

This is a cool idea, why didn't i think of this before. A solar cell which is totally organic . This could solve lots of problems.



A woman displays a prototype leaf-shaped green coloured flexible organic solar cell modules, jointly developed by Japan's Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Tokki Corporation and Mitsubishi Corporation, at the Environment Fair in Kobe, western Japan May 25, 2008 during the G8 Environment Ministers Meeting. Japan urged rich countries on Sunday to take the lead in the fight against global warming by setting bold national targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions by well over 50 percent by 2050.

Phoenix First Picture, What is Standing in The Horizon?

Red planet never fails to inspire humans looking for life out side this planet. Phoenix , the space craft successfully landed on Mars to explore Martian polar regions. This time they have chosen the right place. The boundary of polar ice cap ,that means melting ice which could lead us to find first evidence of life.Nasas Odyssey space craft discovered that there is plenty of water just beneath the surface of polar regions. I have high hopes this time ,Spirit & Opportunity kind of disappointed me.Few weeks before, Even the Vatican announced that god may have created life else where in the universe. Good decision , they seems have learned the lesson from claiming the world is actually FLAT.

Phoenix carries science instruments to assess whether ice just below the surface ever thaws and whether some chemical ingredients of life are preserved in the icy soil. These are key questions in evaluating whether the environment has ever been favorable for microbial life. Phoenix will also study other aspects of the soil and atmosphere with instrument capabilities never before used on Mars. Canada supplied the lander's weather station.

Says nasa team. The first picture looks clear. By the way what is that white thing standing on the horizon? It could be part of the space craft, probably the parachute . Or else it could be one of those Martian coming to greet us. :-) I'm waiting.

Fish that fly like a bird

Earth is amazingly diverse. This is one good example of it. A Japanese camera man managed to capture a flying fish that actually stayed airborne for more than 45 seconds. Good example for people who doubt evolution, In million years this fish could become a bird. How can they fly? I did some research in to this matter. They are thought to have developed this skill to evade predators .

The process of taking flight, or gliding, begins by gaining great velocity underwater, about 37 miles (60 kilometers) per hour. Angling upward, the four-winged flying fish breaks the surface and begins to taxi by rapidly beating its tail while it is still beneath the surface. It then takes to the air, sometimes reaching heights over 4 feet (1.2 meters) and gliding long distances, up to 655 feet (200 meters). Once it nears the surface again, it can flap its tail and taxi without fully returning to the water. Capable of continuing its flight in such a manner, flying fish have been recorded stretching out their flights with consecutive glides spanning distances up to 1,312 feet (400 meters).

Frogs detects chinas earth quake

On 5th Chinese people in chishuwan province detected 1000's of frogs crossing the roads without any fear (see the pictures), the wondered why. On Monday, 12th of May, central China region recorded a catastrophic 7.8-magnitude quake. More than 10000 people dead. Chinas earth quake detection centers couldn't even issue a warning. This was observed in the case of tsunami also, some animals recorded showing strange behaviors hours before the catastrophe. Someone should do a research on frogs to find out how they detected the earth quake, could be really helpful in the future. Can animals detect natural disasters? no need to answer that question, lets find out how?

leaders should manage failure by Abdul Kalam

This is a very inspiring interview given by former president of India.Its worth reading,specially for those leaders who blame others on failure. This was the answer given by Abdul Kalam when the interviewer asked him about leadership.



India Knowledge@Wharton: Could you give an example, from your own experience, of how leaders should manage failure?

Kalam: Let me tell you about my experience. In 1973 I became the project director of India's satellite launch vehicle program, commonly called the SLV-3. Our goal was to put India's "Rohini" satellite into orbit by 1980. I was given funds and human resources -- but was told clearly that by 1980 we had to launch the satellite into space. Thousands of people worked together in scientific and technical teams towards that goal.

By 1979 -- I think the month was August -- we thought we were ready. As the project director, I went to the control center for the launch. At four minutes before the satellite launch, the computer began to go through the checklist of items that needed to be checked. One minute later, the computer program put the launch on hold; the display showed that some control components were not in order. My experts -- I had four or five of them with me -- told me not to worry; they had done their calculations and there was enough reserve fuel. So I bypassed the computer, switched to manual mode, and launched the rocket. In the first stage, everything worked fine. In the second stage, a problem developed. Instead of the satellite going into orbit, the whole rocket system plunged into the Bay of Bengal. It was a big failure.

That day, the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization, Prof. Satish Dhawan, had called a press conference. The launch was at 7:00 am, and the press conference -- where journalists from around the world were present -- was at 7:45 am at ISRO's satellite launch range in Sriharikota [in Andhra Pradesh in southern India]. Prof. Dhawan, the leader of the organization, conducted the press conference himself. He took responsibility for the failure -- he said that the team had worked very hard, but that it needed more technological support. He assured the media that in another year, the team would definitely succeed. Now, I was the project director, and it was my failure, but instead, he took responsibility for the failure as chairman of the organization.

The next year, in July 1980, we tried again to launch the satellite -- and this time we succeeded. The whole nation was jubilant. Again, there was a press conference. Prof. Dhawan called me aside and told me, "You conduct the press conference today."

I learned a very important lesson that day. When failure occurred, the leader of the organization owned that failure. When success came, he gave it to his team. The best management lesson I have learned did not come to me from reading a book; it came from that experience.

Warren Buffett

Think about a person without a cell phone or a computer, can he be the richest person in this world? Well Warren Buffett proved that he could. He still lives in his three bedroom house bought 50 years ago which he claims to have everything he needs, drives his car himself to office and travels in commercial planes (he owns the largest Air Line company). He firmly believes that people should not spend money for unnecessary things. At the age of 6, he bought 6 coca cola packs from his grandma’s shop for 25 cents and resold them for nickel to gain 5 cents profit. Five years later he invested some money in stock market which taught him his first lesson of investments. Since then, his voyage to become the richest man on earth was unstoppable.Recently he gifted 31 billion to charity, biggest gift ever to be given. The most beautiful thing about this man is not his simplicity but his generousness. He has planned to give away 85% of his wealth for those who need it more through Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Its not his money that made me write this article, its his beautiful heart. There are angels among us, he's one of them. Some interesting facts about Warren Buffet.

Transparent Fish for Studying Cancer

Now scientists at Children's Hospital Boston have generated a transparent zebrafish by mating two specific strains: a breed that lacks reflective pigment, called roy orbison, with one that lacks black pigment, called nacre. The offspring had only yellow pigment in their skin, essentially looking clear. Richard White, a clinical fellow in the Stem Cell Program at Children's, named the new breed Casper, according to a press release from the hospital.

Here is an excerpt from the press release:

Viewing the fish under a microscope, White saw the cancer cells begin to spread within five days. He even saw individual cells metastasize--something that has not been observed so readily and in real time in a living organism.The spreading melanoma cells appeared to "home" to the skin after leaving the abdominal cavity. "This told us that when tumor cells spread to other parts in the body, they don't do it randomly," says White. "They know where to go."The fish may also answer questions about stem-cell transplants. While transplants of blood-forming stem cells help cancer patients rebuild healthy blood, some transplants don't "take," according to the press release, for reasons that are unknown. Scientists have lacked a full understanding of what steps blood stem cells must take to do their job, says White. He showed that the process is observable in the fish. He first irradiated a transparent fish's bone marrow, then transplanted fluorescent blood-forming stem cells from another zebrafish. After four weeks, the fluorescent stem cells had visibly migrated and grown in the fish's bone marrow, which is in the kidney. Even individual stem cells were visible--something that researchers haven't easily observed in a living organism, White says.By studying how the stem cells embed and build blood in the fish, scientists can look for ways to help patients rebuild their blood faster. Drugs and genes could be tested in the living fish, with direct observation of results, White says.

Yes We Can

Check out this video of a Barack Obama speech set to music. I really hope this guy could make a difference to the American politics which is mainly about money. His roots stretches back to kenya, he even has relatives in Kenya, one of my Kenyan friend who is one of his relatives told me that he's really cool guy. He's one of the inspirational & charismatic personality i have ever seen in American politics. The world simply loves him, for me Hilary is too politicized to be the president of America, already corrupt with so many connections, she won't be able to do any change to the world. And when she smiles i don't even see any honesty in it, only constants greed for power.

Iranian President & His Blog

Blogging is no longer an ordinary mans way of shouting to the world. Even world leaders take this powerful tool to deliver their message across the world. Iranian President,Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is one of them. He started his blog more than a year ago, He always tried to keep his promis of allocating 15 minutes of his time per week to write his blog.

The world's funniest joke

The world's funniest joke has been revealed after a year-long search by scientists. In an experiment conducted in Britain, people around the world were invited to judge jokes on an Internet site as well as contribute their own.The LaughLab research, carried out by psychologist Dr. Richard Wiseman, from the University of Hertfordshire, attracted more than 40,000 jokes and almost two million ratings.

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy takes out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says: "Calm down, I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a gunshot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says: "OK, now what?"

Sky Is Falling

An American Spy satellite sent to orbit lost its power just after it launched in 2006. For the last tow years it was hanging above our heads, now its going to fall on earth in late February or early March . Is there a danger? The satellite includes some small engines that contain a toxic chemical called hydrazine -- which is rocket fuel. But they say they are not large booster engines with substantial amounts of fuel. Us Army doesn't reveal any information about the size of the satellite, but according to an armature satellite watcherJohn Lockers captured video, show it to be about 13 feet to 16.5 feet across. He believes it weighs a maximum of 10,000 pounds. Locker calculated its size with data on its altitude and location provided by other amateur satellite watchers, using the International Space Station as a yardstick. The impact will be somewhere on North America, the final burn up through the atmospher may take about 30 minutes,most of its mass is expected to be burnt during the re-entry. Read more
