Hi Folks,
Our Site is back after few months. I need to take the blame for the delay and my apologies for that. There was a Virus attack which spoilt the ending tags of our previous theme. It had affected all the files. So had to come up with a new theme, not that great as the previous one. None the less, it is up
Guten Tag!
First of all let me be clear what I mean by ‘Abuse’ here. I only mean “gaali dena”/ “Name-calling”. now since subject line is clear, lets come to its body.
Ever wonder what is so special about abuse? hmm.. ask a girl’s opinion about it and she would say “ohh god! it shows poor upbringing of the abuser.” And ask a guy, he would be either indifferent or would show respect to abuse.
There is always two sides of a coin. One which we can see, which is upfront and other which we can not see which we can only take for sure, that it exists and obviously, it is not viewable. Same case stands for abuse too. Its easy to say that calling names shows your poor mentality but it is tough to accept that it requires lots of creativity too.
Name-calling expels your anger, shows your love, shun your hypocrisies and gives you power. Momentarily but definitely. Name-Calling helps in conveying your lengthy frustration in a single word; What else could do this so effectively!
Sexual-name-calling is as efficient in breaking relations as in bonding them; And here creativity matters most. The more creative it is, the more you would laugh.. the abuser as well as the one who got abused.
So people shun away that bad tag regarding Name-calling. Its not bad, its just one way you think about it…………..
Long before google came up with the option to search for particular images in various sites with the help of the file name, references and meta tags. I ve been fiddling and wondering on a concept that if we needed to find a reference to a particular image about which we dont have any information.
For instance you have an historical symbol or an archeological visual or a company’s logo but you have no idea where does it belong to or what does it refer to. We could just scan and upload it to the search engine and it could generate texts and images on various sites that refer to the same.
It is currently only capable of yielding results from the texts in the name of the file or text around it which is not necessarily accurate. If you are searching for the images of planet Saturn and if someone has put a picture of planet Pluto with the description of Saturn, you will get even this in your results. This could often lead you to misinterpreted results when you are looking for not so popular pictures. Imagine if you have a painting or a sculpture gifted to you by your grandpa and you dont know about its value, artist, provenence, age, etc. You could just upload a image of the same and reach the information related to the art work.
Imagine similar possibilities in the field of science, technology, history, archeology, etc. But the point comes how can it be achieved. I am not sure of that yet. But I figured two such instances we hear of often like, firstly, how a new set of finger prints can be searched and matched from the database of fingerprints of millions of people. Secondly long back a friend of mine was working on a Human DNA project and he told me that they were developing some application to match DNA structures with images of the available patients structure. Now in both these cased an image reference is directly searched in other images without involvement of any text in this search.
Though the creation of such an search engine can be very intensive and intricate but what a boon it can be. What do you think?
Emmy nominations for year-2009 had been announced and today is the most awaited day when the hard work will be honored when the winners will be aired at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards, perhaps Winner for Creative Art has been declared.
It is very prestigious for all those in the television industry, and is highly awaited event for the individuals who love watching TV. Emmy awards are given away to a variety of categories namely entertainment, news and documentary and sports shows across the Television fraternity and is given annually.
An Emmy award is basically a Television Production Award and is equivalent to Academy Awards, which is the most prestigious award for films and Grammy award for music. It is an honor for Excellence in television production. Emmy Awards are jointly presented by Academy of Television arts & Science (ATAS), National Academy of Television arts & Science(NATAS) and International Academy of Television arts & Science(IATAS) .

Later due course of globalization in 1970 it became specific to United States and eventually internationally acclaimed in early 1970ies.
The Glorious EMMY”
The name “Emmy” was selected to symbolize feminization of “immy”, a nickname used for the image orthicon tubes that were common in early television cameras. To complement the name, the statuette was designed to depict a winged woman holding an atom, which has since become the symbol of the TV Academy’s goal of supporting and uplifting the art and science of television: The wings represent the muse of art; the atom the electron of science.
The 61st Primetime Emmy Awards aired on CBS today at 8:00 Eastern
emmy Awards for Creative arts has been declared. HBO tops in Creative Arts at EMMY’s.
Brazil has secured its place for 2010 World Cup after beating Argentina 3-1 in the qualifiers yesterday. Fabiano once again did for his country. Fabiano scored in the 30th and 67th minute with Luisao opening the scoring in the 24th. But i personally enjoyed the Argentine classic goal by Jesus Datola. Well, by that time maybe it was already late. But now Argentina and Maradona ( their national coach ) are unhappy and struggling to qualify for the FIFA World Cup Soccer 2010. I like Argentina almost as much as brazil for their skillful soccer and would love to see them play in South Africa ( Hosting 2010 World cup ). Argentina needs to prove against paraguay for their place in World Cup. Else they have to wait till FIFA World Cup 2014, hosted by Brazil. 
All The Best Argentina !!!
In the delightful book Alice in Wonderland, a conversation between Alice and Cheshire Cat goes like this:
Alice: Would you tell me , please, which way I ought to go from here?
Cheshire Cat: That depends a great deal on where you want to get to?
Alice: I don’t much care where…………….
Cheshire Cat: Then it doesn’t matter which way you go
While Alice is somewhat indifferent as to the choice of destination, today’s employees think differently when it comes to managing their careers. Gone are the days when a lifetime of career meant nothing more than a series of accidents that went under the name of “career choices”.
Thanks to the fact that we live in a world where patience and realistic thinking are taking their place. The career discussions that happen at the workplace today have changed both in form and content. A considerable amount of time of Human Resource Department in most of the organization is just spent in measuring expectations and resolving career related dilemmas. Managers find themselves seeking guidance from HR in designing career solutions that address the unique needs of their team members.
Organizations have realized the increasing need to have a robust career management process. They have been working on strengthening their capacity and capability to offer enriching careers to its employees. Therefore, we have today a rich deposit of insight, innovations and best practices in this area.
Career Management Process has been approached differently by different organizations. While there is no one formula for success and each organization needs to build a career management process that addresses its unique needs, it is worthwhile to keep in mind key guiding principles:
Career Management Strategy
Transfer the Power to Employees
Guide Employees
Prepare Appropriate Infrastructure
Robust Feedback Mechanism
In the end, it does not matter much which direction you are headed, as long as you are relishing every moment of it!
do ever give attention to objects, people surrounding you, landscape, animals, emotions or expressions of anybody around you??
Do you have the fascination of clicking something special happening around you want to and keep it fresh in memory?? Do you often play with camera?? Do you ever try focusing on different object from different angles??
I am not a professional photographer but yeah I do have a passion i.e. photography and I would like to share some basic but really useful facts about photography that I follow.
How light effects photography?
Mid-Day Sunlight
At high noon on a clear day, the sun is extremely strong. It generates a hard light with deep crisp shadows. It also is coming from directly overhead. So not a suitable time for photography.
Portraits in sunlight:
While clicking human figures the hardness of the light will generate dark shadows the subject’s eyes and nose. Better is to move the subject into the shade where he will be lit by skylight rather than sunlight.
The best solution is to wait for the light to be coming from a different direction and/or for different weather. Near sunrise or sunset, is the best time to get flattering light on both the portrait subject and the background object
Landscape in Sunlight
It is difficult to see the shape of the landscape when the sun is directly overhead. Our eyes rely on shadows to recognize shapes. It is occasionally possible to get a good landscape photo at midday if the subject is reasonably compelling, especially if you are aiming at the kind of descriptive photos found in travel brochures. In mid-day sun is almost above the head and thus cast very harsh shadow.
A Cloudy Skylight
A high overcast is perfect for a lot of photography. Best for capturing architectural details, such kind of day lets you to do it without shadows obscuring anything. Overcast /or rainy days are the good times to go to the forest and click pictures. Photo’s clicked in cloudy sky add a special charm to RGB colors.
InTwilight
There is no reason to put the camera away after the sun goes down. Perhaps, usually you will get your best pictures then. However, you need to have a bit log exposure for a perfect picture. Near sunrise or sunset, is the best time to get flattering light on both the portrait subject and the background object .
Street Lights
You can use the Street light to make your the picture colorful, vibrant, and interesting.
The reason is, street light usually emits light in various spectral bands and the color that this produces an interesting effect upon the photograph making it look mysterious. However, different kinds of light bulb have different effects!
Indoors — Fluorescent Lights
Fluorescent lights are best for black and white photography. For color photography, fluorescent lights have some of the same as street lights
Electronic Flash
After the usage of flashes photography has become night affair too. flash, photographers need not to rest at nights.
Usually with flash, we actually Point a subject and shoot . The camera will automatically blast the subject with light if there isn’t enough ambient light.
You can use this concept of flash to click creative and really innovative photographs. Does that mean that you should throw out your electronic flash? No. A built-in flash that fires straight ahead is useful for filling harsh shadows in bright sunlight. An accessory flash designed to slide on top of the camera can be a great tool when used properly.
You can narrow a fat face. You can’t really do anything except capture a scene that never existed.
Through this column I will keep posting about few basic facts about photography.
Comments invited.
I have received a lot of requests from the authors in MindSwap to display their pictures or animated pictures alongwith their names. I had tried it for a while and successfully implemented it for our MindSwap. Well you can see my display picture beside my name, in this post. Even you can do it in less than ten minutes.
Hope to see all the authors by their pictures soon 
Happy MindSwapping!!
Brandon Marshall, “the beast”, is not found guilty by the Atlanta jury today. Brandon Marshall missed the first two days of full-team practise and moved down the depth chart. Does this mean the end for Marshall in Broncos? He should surely give up his “rock star” attitude and concentrate more on his game. 
Marshall is no longer the no. 1 receiver now, Eddie Royal took that post. Apart from all this drama, Broncos also prepares to see their new Quaterback Kyle Orton. The sooner the Broncos supporters come off Jay Cutler, the better. Kyle Orton was even booed by the crowd today. The San Francisco 49ers registered a 17-16 vicory over the Broncos today.
