Message For The Day…” Never Be Egoistic of Your Knowledge… “
|
Educare guides a person to be humble, it grants a sense of discrimination endowed with wisdom. Why should anyone feel proud in being educated? Ultimately isn’t what he or she has attained a fraction of all learning? Never be egoistic of the knowledge you have acquired. Education is true, only when you direct it to render service to the society. Humility must be the crest jewel ornament of an educated person; it is truly the essence of education. It must reflect in our daily conduct and behavior, and should not be simply limited to occasional verbal expressions. People with humility, and obedience to parents and elders will achieve great success in their lives. Through your own words and actions, you must manifest the latent values by engaging yourselves in appropriate acts.

Message For The Day…” Live Happily in the Present …Past is Past …Forget …”
We either think of the past or the future and ruin the present. Past is past, forget it. The past which is dead and gone, is useless. Work for your progress by living in the present, and in the moment. Future does not always bring happiness. And so far as the past is concerned, how much happiness have you experienced in it? Therefore, live happily in the present. What should we do in the present? Follow this maxim: Less luggage more comfort makes travel a pleasure. We should not worry about the past at all. Thinking about the past will not do any good to us. Therefore we should lead our life in the present and achieve all-round progress
Message For the Day…” Never Submit Yourself to the Evil Qualities…”
Each and every one of you is a spark of the Divine. Lord Krishna declares in Bhagavad Gita, “You are all essentially Divine, you are eternal and ancient. Do not conduct yourself as a human being nor be beastial in your attitude and behavior”. Each one of you is endowed with the sacred qualities of Truth, Righteousness, Love, Peace and Non-Violence. Hence, all of you must conduct yourself in accordance with these noble virtues. Never submit yourself to the evil qualities such as lust, greed, anger, jealousy, hatred and avarice. These do not befit the life of any human being. At times, changes in place or food habits give rise to other behavioural tendencies. Hence, be aware and take pure food and pure water regularly and in a timely manner. Lead a happy life, as a true human being, by observing all the rules and regulations.
Story Behind the Background Photograph of Windows XP !!!
One serene image has been viewed by over one billion eyes, has been seen in videos of the White House and even the Russian government–the default Windows XP computer background.
Even though Microsoft killed off support for Windows XP this week after 13 years, they decided to pay homage to the nostalgic scene.
With many wondering where the image of green grass and blue skies named ‘Bliss’ really came from, the tech company Microsoft released a video in which they interview the photographer Charles O’Rear.
Video Link :
This photo called ‘Bliss’ was taken by former National Geographic photographer Charles O’Rear on 1996 and was made famous by being Microsoft XP’s default desktop photo
This is the same scene where O’Rear took his famed desktop background photo in 1996
O’Rear drove from Napa Valley to Sacramento on an extremely busy and dangerous road
O’Rear, a former National Geographic photographer said he was driving through the Napa Valley on his way to visit his girlfriend in San Francisco when he came across a beautiful landscape with perfect grass and an almost clear sky.
In a video about the photo, O’Rear says that even though the photo appears to be taken in a calm environment, the road there is one of the most dangerous and busy roads he’s driven on.
Despite the dangerous road, the image couldn’t be more placid. He took his old film camera and snapped the famous photo in 1996.
O’Rear says by the time he took the picture there were a few clouds in the sky but when he first saw the photo worthy setting the sky was completely clear.
Several years later, Microsoft commissioned the photo for Windows XP, reports Time. They flew O’Rear out to their offices to personally deliver the photo.
‘I had no idea where it was going to go,’ ‘O’Rear said in the video.
‘Anybody now from age 15 to the rest of their life will remember this photograph.’ he said.
‘I’m thrilled to know that people have had pleasure from looking at that, from looking that a photograph that I made.’
O’Rear stopped to snap the photo as he was driving along this busy road from Napa Valley to Sacramento
Charles O’Rear took the photo with an old film camera back in 1996 and never knew that the picture he took on a whim would be seen by over one billion eyes !!!

Message For the Day… “Give up Ego and Enjoy Bliss…”
Suppose you dream that you are being bitten by a snake, and are struggling with pain, shouting and frantically searching for medicines. Now even though you are bitten by a snake, do you take medicine to remove the poison? No, you don’t do that, because this happened in your dream. You perhaps will even forget the pain, as soon as you wake up, isn’t it? Similarly today you are in deep slumber of ignorance and worldly attachments and hence undergo a lot of suffering. The world is ephemeral and full of misery. You suffer only because of ignorance and body attachment. The moment you are awakened from the slumber, your problems will be solved. Anyone and everyone who aspires to lead a happy life must reduce body attachment. You develop ego because of your position, associations, physical strength or wealth. If you want to enjoy bliss, never give any scope for ego.
Try This Trick for Password Management !!!
If you’re scrambling to change your password following the Heartbleed bug and don’t know where to start, this trick may be one of the simplest solutions yet.
Not only does it generate a password that’s random enough to keep intruders away, but it also ensures that you’ll be able to remember it.
Yuriy Guts, a research and development software engineer at Eleks Labs, detailed a comprehensive password creation method on the company’s R&D blog.
The first step in Guts’ process involves thinking of a movie or television show, a line from a song, or any other reference that you associate with that website.
For example, you might want to think of a movie that reminds you of one of your best friends to help you create a strong Facebook password. Grab the most memorable line from that movie.
Once you’ve come up with your quote or phrase, add a few transformations to make it more difficult to guess. For example, Guts suggests replacing each space with an underscore, capitalizing the second letter of each word, adding a number at the end of the phrase that denotes the number of words in it, or any similar method.
If you’re using the line “I’m king of the world!” from the movie “Titanic,” your password may look something like this:
Im_kIng_oF_tHe-wOrld5
The trick works even better if you’ve got inside jokes or phrases that only you would know or remember. After you’ve created this password, store it in some type of management system in case you forget it. Guts advises that you change your passwords every 12 months by repeating those steps.
The idea of using a phrase to help you remember your password isn’t particularly new. But what makes Guts’ approach more interesting is that each phrase is specifically tailored to an individual website or app— meaning you’re creating a password that’s easy to remember while also guaranteeing all of your passwords are different from one another.
Since the password method requires you to generate a phrase or sentence, it’s much easier and more natural to type it quickly when logging in rather than pecking at the keyboard to input some obscure string of characters.

NASA Has An Answer to ” Mysterious Light On MARS …” !!!
Sorry, mysterious glow on Mars is not life !!!
KINDLY SEE MY EARLIER POST ” Mysterious Light On Mars ….Will Somebody Throw Some ” Light ” on This !!! ” before reading this post…
natarajan
Washington, April 12 (IANS) The strange “glow” spotted on the Red Planet by Curiosity is not a sign of life. It is either a shiny rock or a glitch in the rover’s camera, NASA has said.
UFO blogger Scott Waring had claimed that the new photograph taken by the rover suggests there are intelligent creatures living underground.
However, NASA said it has now investigated the image, and found it is simply a trick of light.
“One possibility is that the light is the glint from a rock surface reflecting the sun,” a NASA spokesperson was quoted as saying by mailonline.uk.
“When these images were taken each day, the sun was in the same direction as the bright spot, west-northwest from the rover, and relatively low in the sky.
“The rover science team is also looking at the possibility that the bright spots could be caused by cosmic rays striking the camera’s detector.”
NASA’s engineers believe the glow may have been caused by sunlight reaching the camera’s sensors through a vent hole in the camera housing.
The agency said this has happened previously on other cameras on Curiosity and other Mars rovers when the geometry of the incoming sunlight relative to the camera is precisely aligned.
NASA also revealed that such glitches are commonplace.
“Among the thousands of images received from Curiosity, ones with bright spots show up nearly every week.”
Curiosity takes images using two cameras, one in its right eye and the other in its left.

While the image from the right eye shows this bright spot, the same image from the left eye does not.
Message For the Day…” Ensure Your Kids are on The Right Path at All Times…”
Young students are innocent. Their hearts and minds are pure, and they are selfless. In the primary school, you will find that many of them observe perfect discipline and are well behaved. By the time they are in secondary school, the purity and discipline slowly decreases. When they reach a college or university, everything becomes topsy-turvy! What really happens in between? As they grow in years, their mental balance is upset; they lose the steadiness of mind and self-control. They are exposed to undesirable influences. At this stage, teachers and parents must practice exemplary behavior and ensure that the children are on the right path at all times. Students also must bear in mind that all the regulations and discipline that are prescribed are for their highest good and in their own interests.
