The Power of Emergency Number 112

112 is the emergency telephone number in the European Union member states, the Republic of Colombia (South America) and worldwide (on GSM mobile networks). Whenever you are struck in an unknown place with no network and if you are in any emergency, just dial this SOS(Save Our Souls) number 112, for emergency support. It will connect you to the nearest GSM provider irrespective of which connection or what handset you own. This number can be dialed even when your keypad is locked. Almost all EU Countries have already implemented 112 and can be dialled free of charge. In other countries the number will be redirected to the emergency number of their respective countries, for example dialling 112 in the US will be re-directed to 911, in Australia to 000 and in India to 100.

How can you test your antivirus software...??

Creating A Test Virus:
Have you ever wondered if your anti-virus software is really working? Would you like to see what happens when it detects a virus? Here's a safe way to test your computer's virus protection that doesn't require you to have a real virus.

First, open Notepad. Then copy and paste into it the text on the line below. (It should all be on one line.)

X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

Then select File, Save, select All Files for the file type, then save the file as eicar.com

Your anti-virus software may prevent you from saving the file as eicar.com, which is a sign that it is working effectively. If it doesn't raise an alert, try scanning the folder where you saved eicar.com. To see what happens if you try to run a file containing a virus, double-click eicar.com to open it.

Explanation:
The file eicar.com you have created is completely safe. It is not a virus. It is a standard test file developed by the European Institute for Computer Anti-virus Research (EICAR). All anti-virus products are programmed to detect this file as if it was a real virus. Therefore you can safely use it to test whether your anti-virus software works, without fear of infecting your computer.

Conclusion:
If your anti-virus product should fail to prevent you from running the file, it will simply display the text "EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE" in a DOS box. No harm will have been done, but you should probably consider using a better anti-virus product, because if it had been a real virus, your computer would by now be infected!

Ajith : The most lovable actor in Kollywood

Most young actors in Tamil filmdom declare Ajith as their favorite hero. The list is only getting bigger and stronger by the day. The man affectionately called 'Thala' finds favor among many young heroes including Simbu, Jai and Nakul.

Jai who is currently enjoying tremendous success, debuted in a Vijay film playing the star's brother. But then his favorite star is Ajith and even goes on to say that he talks to 'thala' frequently and even gets some valuable tips from the star.

Simbu has declared many a time that he is a fan of Ajith. His soon-to-be-released film 'Silambattam' would showcase him as an Ajith fan.

With so many young stars fervently declaring that they like Ajith, has Vijay been left out? Well, not exactly. Bharath who is called 'Chinna Thalapathi' is reportedly a die-hard fan of 'Illaya Thalapathi' Vijay and talks to him whenever he can for inspiration.

What is God...? An Interesting Conversation

An atheist Professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new Students to stand and.....

Professor: So you believe in God?
Student : Absolutely, sir.

Prof : Is God good?
Stud: Sure.

Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Stud: Yes.

Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him.
Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?(Student is silent.)
Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?
Stud: Yes.

Prof: Is Satan good?
Stud: No.

Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Stud: From...God...

Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Stud: Yes.

Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Stud: Yes.

Prof: So who created evil?(Student does not answer.)
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Stud: Yes, sir.

Prof: So, who created them? (Student has no answer.)
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
Stud: No, sir.

Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Stud: No, sir.

Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God?Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Stud: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.

Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Stud: Yes.

Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Stud: Nothing. I only have my faith.

Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Stud: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Prof: Yes.
Stud: And is there such a thing as cold?

Prof: Yes.
Stud: No sir. There isn't.(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Stud : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Stud: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?

Stud : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light....But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?

Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Stud: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Stud: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your Students that they evolved from a monkey?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Stud: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)

Stud: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher? (The class is in uproar.)

Stud: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Stud : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain,sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir? The room is silent. The Professor stares at the Student, his face unfathomable.)

Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Stud: That is it sir... The link between man & god is FAITH . That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

I believe you have enjoyed the conversation...and if so...you'll probably want your friends/colleagues to enjoy the same...won't you?....

This is a true story, and the Student was none other than.........
APJ Abdul Kalam , the former President of India

Be careful before buying your food at Wal-Mart..!!

Well, are you enjoying seeing Chinese food popping up in your supermarket left and right..? Have you noticed you can't buy a single package of fish that isn't made in China (or Vietnam)..? Do you think your food from China is processed in a sanitary manner, and thus safe to eat? Take a look at this...!!!

REMEMBER WAL-MART is one of the LARGEST BUYERS OF CHINESE PRODUCTS..

THINK ABOUT IT.

These undercover enclosed pictures speak a thousand words. Avoid buying all processed food packaged in China. Anything goes! We just don't know what else is in those packages. Unlike in the U.S. and Canada, China does not have laws regulating food processing.

On that note: also avoid using disposable chopsticks in the restaurant. Apparently, they have been bleached to look white! We certainly don't need bleach in our body and if left behind by customers they are just re-used.

Basically, do not buy any processed food from China, also Hong Kong, too. MANY companies are using a Hong Kong address to avoid this type of image reputation.

Early dawn, starts the day by riding around to collect dead chickens














Asking around for dead chickens














Total of 5 riders are hired by the boss to ride to farms to buy dead chickens














A dead chicken cost 1 RMB and would be sold at 9 RMB after processing














Storage for the dead chickens in the court yard














Carcasses are thrown everywhere















On the floor
















Four employees start de-feathering the dead fowl after soaking in boiling water from a rusty wok
















Enduring the pungent odour, but sometimes, it gets so terrible that even the most experienced of the workers would puke
















Workers rushing to get the chickens de-feathered
















A discarded bath tub being used to soak the bare skin dead chicken. The contaminated water would have accelerated the decomposition process














Wearing slippers walking among the chickens before the coloring processing














After the colour y, its creepy to find that they are quite tenderising
















And now presenting the mouth watering Charcoal Roasted Chicken!





















Do NOT buy food originating in China (or Vietnam or Thailand)! Take the time to read the labels and look for country of origin! STOP BUYING ANYTHING FROM CHINA.

( Hey... I found this information over the internet. I was shocked after reading this. So i am putting it here just to make an awareness. I don't want to hurt anyone's sentiments.)

Prabhu Deva's son No more

Choreographer-Actor-turned Director Prabhu Deva's 13 year old son Vishal alias Basavaraj passed away in the early hours of Thursday. He was suffering from cancer for a long time. Deva's family had been fighting the disease along with him knowing that he would be taken away from them at any time. Prabhu Deva said that, though he knew that it would happen, he hoped that they would have more time with Vishal. Recently Prabhu Deva took his son abroad on the Villu shoot to make him happy and fulfil his wishes.
