Message for the Day…” We are Responsible for all Problems around us…”
There are many educated youth with multiple degrees. How do they put them to use? To earn money! Money does matter a lot in the present times. You need money even to go to the temple, to drink a cup of coffee or a bottle of water. However you must develop more humanness rather than just running after money. We are responsible for all problems around us. If you shape yourself into a good person and practice what you have learnt, the world would be a different place. Do not lead your lives with arrogance, pride and other wicked qualities. Instead, live your life with a sense of humility and obedience. You become pure, only when you get rid of your wicked qualities. To remove the pollution around you, you must have a pure mind. A pure mind is one that is without any doubts, selfless and steady. Only a pure mind can uphold the honour of a Nation.
5 New Technologies You are Going to Watch @ FIFA World Cup !!!
Technology is heavily used in many major and international sports events, for instance 6.6 pounds makes all the difference between a gold and a silver medal in the 100-meter butterfly event back in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Badly designed uniforms can take out a whole team, like what happened to team USA in the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics recently. In badminton, line-call technology is now used to assist line judges for when players challenge their ball is “in or out” calls.
The FIFA World Cup is also no stranger to technological innovation. The 1970 World Cup, for instance, was the first one to be broadcast in colour. For the first time, footballs fans get to watch matches live on TV from their living rooms and see their favorite teams’ uniforms in all its glorious colors. This upcoming 2014 will be no different when it comes to debuting new technologies in the world of football and international sports.
Let’s check out some of the highlights to look forward to.
1. Goal Line Technology
Goal line technology may well prove to be the most important, and notable, new technology to make its debut at the World Cup. It’s been used in European club football over the past year, most notably in the English Premier League, as well as in some smaller international competitions, but the World Cup is going to be the biggest footballing event to ever implement goal line technology.
After an extended period of trials and testing, FIFA appointed GoalControl GmbH as the official provider of goal line technology for the 2014 World Cup. Goal line technology aims to assist referees in making calls on whether the ball has crossed the goal line and whether a goal should be awarded.
It does this by using 14 high-speed cameras positioned around the stadium which track the position of the ball in 3D. When the ball crosses either goal line, the referee will be alerted via a wristwatch that’s synced to the GoalControl system.
You only need to look back at Geoff Hurst’s 1966 World Cup Final goal for England against West Germany and Frank Lampard’s controversially disallowed goal in the 2010 World Cup to see how goal line technology will help the sport and referee decisions.
2. 4K Coverage And Broadcast
4K has to be one of the more interesting developments in display technology recently. We’re all used to our HD 1080p displays, but 4K takes things way beyond that, with a display resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. And what better way to take advantage of this new high-resolution technology than to watch the World Cup in all its 4K glory?
Well, Sony and FIFA have joined forces to do just that: broadcast certain World Cup 2014 matchesin glorious 4K resolution. However, they’re not going to be broadcasting the whole World Cup in 4K. Instead, Sony’s aim with this partnership is to more towards bringing this technology to the mainstream.
To this end, 3 World Cup 2014 matches will be shot and broadcasted in 4K: one Round of 16 match, one semi-final and of course, the final match itself. Match footage will also be included in the Official FIFA 2014 World Cup film, which will also be in 4K.
The film will be released after the conclusion of the World Cup. FIFA has also confirmed that World Cup fanzones in Brazil will also be showing some 4K content.
3. Vanishing Spray
If you’re an ardent football watcher, you’re probably familiar with this situation: when the attacking team is awarded a direct free kick near the opposition penalty area, the defensive wall is nearly always just a bit too close. This gives the defending team a slightly unfair advantage, triggering complaints from the attacking team and a delay as the referee tries to get the defensive wall to move back to the regulatory 10 yards’ distance.
Well, this might be a thing of the past at the 2014 World Cup, since referees will now be using vanishing spray to mark out the 10 yard distance.
When a free kick is awarded, the referee will walk 10 yards from the site of the offense and thenspray a line on the pitch to indicate where the defensive wall should should stand. This line willdisappear within a minute or two, so there’s no risk of the line overstaying its welcome or having any untoward effects on the match itself.
This vanishing spray technology has been used for a while in South American leagues, but this is thefirst time it’s being used in a major international tournament.
4. Brazuca
As always, the ball itself is also quite a technological marvel. In the previous World Cup, footballers complained furiously about the Jabulani ball being hard to control, behaving erratically whilst in the air. This, as you’d expect, is not something FIFA want to happen again at the 2014 World Cup.
Adidas claims that the Brazuca, the official match ball for the 2014 World Cup, will be different; in apress statement, they claim that the ball will meet and exceed all FIFA metrics.
According to Adidas, the Brazuca has been tested for more than 2.5 years and has gotten theapproval of world-class footballers such as Lionel Messi, Iker Casillas, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Dani Alves and the one and only Zinedine Zidane.
This level of performance apparently has a lot to do with the Brazuca’s construction. The Brazuca is unique in that it’s made out of six interlocking urethane panels with thousands of little dimples – somewhat reminiscent of a basketball ball – that apparently improve the ball’s grip, stability and aerodynamics.
5. Mind-Controlled Robotic Suit
Now, for something a little bit different. This isn’t going to be featured in any of the matches, and it won’t have anything to do with the broadcasts, but the 2014 FIFA World Cup will be the public’s first glimpse of an exciting new robotic exoskeleton that might just be the future replacement for the wheelchair.
On the opening day of the World Cup, a young Brazilian paraplegic will use this robotic suit to walk to the centre of the pitch and kick a ball, marking the opening of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
The mind-controlled robotic exoskeleton, built from lightweight alloys and powered by hydraulics, is the culmination of many years of work by the Walk Again project, an international group of scientists. The exoskeleton also comes with a cap which will pick up the user’s EEG signals, which will then be translated by a computer in the exoskeleton’s backpack into movement commands for the exoskeleton legs.
While it will probably take a while before a robotic exoskeleton actually replaces the wheelchair, it’sdefinitely an exciting development that will be great to see at the opening ceremony of the World Cup.

Message For the Day…” Preach What You Can Practice…”
People who take a pledge to observe certain disciplines in all times, fail to do so when the circumstances are not congenial. One day all the deers in the forest held a conference. They discussed thus: “Do dogs possess the abilities we have?” One of them bravely said, “If we kick a dog appropriately, it can be disembowelled; we have that power!” Another deer added, “Dogs cannot run at speeds we can. We can even leap in the air.” The third said, “Exactly! Dogs can’t run as fast as us and we are stronger and more capable. From now on, we should not be afraid of dogs. We must face them with all our strength and fight back”. Having thus decided, they all clapped merrily. Hearing this noise, a dog in a distance howled loudly. No sooner did the deers hear the sound, all of them, without any exception, fled the place. The behaviour of those who preach Vedanta these days is very much on a par with these deers.
” Reel Effect and the Real Picture … ” !!!
It has been discovered that the average American watches television about 5 hours a day. That’s a lot of programming being consumed and that number doesn’t even include how many hours of movies we see in theaters or in our own homes. Every day we are being entertained, but every day we are being lied to (but not in a harmful way). Most people would never catch how it’s being done.
Special effects and CGI (computer generated imagery) is a useful tool in the entertainment industry. Over the years, the techniques have improved. Now, when most television shows or movies use CGI, the viewers can’t even tell what’s real and what’s not…
HINT: Most of it’s not.
You should never trust anything you see in the movies or television shows. “Movie magic” has been around for decades, but now the magic is almost seeming… magical.

Message For the Day…” In any Situation, Come what may, Never Take the path of Untruth… “
Cultivate the five values of Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Love and Nonviolence (Sathya, Dharma, Shanti, Prema and Ahimsa). When you have Sathya and Dharma, you will automatically get peace (Shanti). When you are peaceful, you will not hurt or hate anybody (Ahimsa). This peaceful attitude blossoms into love and brings about equality in every being. When such a loving environment prevails, there will be no quarrels in the world. Therefore, truth and righteousness are essential to attain and grow in love. In any situation, come what may, never take the path of untruth. If you speak untruth, there is no love. Speak the truth at all times, attain love and feel it everywhere around you. This is the essence of the scriptures, taught by many sages and saints in various methods. God is Love.
Message For the Day…” In Every Step , Every Thing You See, God is Present… “
God is beyond all qualities. He is blemishless, steady and selfless (Nirmalam, Nischalam and Niswartham). He is beyond time and space. Don’t try to confine God to just one form. Install the principle that God is the Divine Soul (Atma) present within you and contemplate on Him. In every step, everything you see, God is present. God is the current that makes fans work; God is the mike that absorbs the sound, and the speakers that help others listen. If you put off the main switch, all the lights will go out. When you forget Divinity, you forget everything. Love God deeply, from within. Love God and you will be able to conquer the demons of bad qualities and also develop the society. Only a person with character can bring development in society. Only the one with love for God can lead a life of morality. Morality is truly a life principle. Without morality there is no community.
Message For the Day…” Whatever You Have is Not Yours…It is God’s Gift To you…”
Accept everything as God’s gift (Prasadam). Always feel that whatever you have is not yours, and it has come from God. Accept pain too as God’s gift and be content with that. Learn to be happy that God has given you two square sufficient meals. If you compare yourself with a wealthy person, who has four rich meals while you are having two, you will feel discontented. On the other hand, think of the poor man who cannot manage even one meal a day. In this manner, develop contentment. You must learn to be satisfied in simple things too. It is only then that Divinity can blossom from humanness. Being contented is a most important human quality and it can be gained through incessant devotion to the Lord. Continue chanting His name and develop your Love for Him, and dedicate your Life unto Him.
Message For the Day…” Install Within Yourself that Nameless, Formless Divine…”
Many imagine that God will appear before them in response to their worship (Yagnas). These are illusions, merely imagination. What ultimately manifests before you is the nameless, formless Lord. In reality, God does not have any one specific form. Your mind keeps prompting such imagination. When you think of God as Krishna, the feelings of Krishna are aroused in you by your mind. As your feelings guide you, you see the manifestation of your favourite Lord everywhere. You must proceed on the path, focusing on the Divine Self. Control the activity of the mind and proceed on the path until the mind vanishes. The Divine Self has no name or form. Install within yourself that nameless, formless Divine. The whole world is the manifestation of the One Divine Soul. In all the beings, whether they are small insects, birds, animals or human beings, the same Lord pervades. Therefore, salute the Lord in every being.
Embarassing Mistakes in the History… Wish it is Not Repeated !!!
They say history repeats itself. Which means that all of the glorious bravery and stories are constantly serving as examples. It’s why it’s important to learn from history, as they help us navigate our lives, and our civilization. But history also has a darker side… it shows us the mistakes that don’t bear repeating. Those horrible decisions, those stupid mistakes, those idiotic moves that should never be repeated. Learn from few examples, and be wiser for it.
