Mind Blowing Antique Piece …!!!
Maybe we’ve all been looking in the wrong place for proof of extra-terrestrial life. Because it’s hard to imagine this incredibly complex transforming desk coming from anywhere but Cybertron, the home planet of the Autobots and Decepticons.
Where Is This Mind-Blowing Antique Transforming Desk Hiding Its Autobot Logo?
Surprisingly, though, it does hail from earth. And was actually created as far back as the late 1700s by master furniture craftsmen Abraham and David Roentgen. The desk certainly looks ornate at first glance, but it’s when its endless secret lockboxes and drawers start to be r evealed that you’ll be truly impressed by the craftsmanship behind it. And jump ahead to the two-minute mark for a ridiculously complex pop-out easel that could out-transform even Optimus Prime. [The Metropolitan Museum of Art via Make]

” You Forgot Our Enmity and Came Home …” !!!
Enmity developed between two close relatives in a village on account of claims over property. The bitterness led to a case in the court. There was not the barest exchange of a civil word between the two. The defendant’s son was to be married. He brought the invitation and placed it before Periyaval.
Periyaval looked at the attendant nearby and said, “Ask him if he will visit all his relatives and invite them?”
“Yes…we will visit all the relatives to invite them…”
After a minute’s pause, Periyaval said, “Ask him if he will visit the plaintiff also”.
The gentleman hesitated for a while. “I thought that if I went there and was insulted, it would be very hurting”.
“No such thing will happen. Give him the invitation in person and tell him that he must attend the wedding”.
The defendant went to the complainant’s house in trepidation. he recalled Periyaval’s words. “It is not in our culture to disrespect visitors. Everyone is essentially good’.
The complainant never dreamt that his sworn enemy would visit him in his house. When he saw the defendant, he hugged him to his bosom.
“Welcome, welcome”, he said happily and accepted the invitation. “You forgot our enmity and came home to invite me! I shall certainly come to participate in the celebrations”, he assured his relative.
The gentleman who had gone to give the invitation had a sudden change of heart. “Such a good man’, he thought. “Why did I develop such enmity for him?”
“Brother”, he said, “Let us forget about the case and the courts. Let us settle the matter amicably”.
The two gentleman raised their hands in salutation in Periyaval’s direction.

Glowing Blue Waves …Awesome Mother Nature !!!
It may take you by surprise, but some of the coolest stuff on this earth actually occurs naturally, even though it seems totally fake. Take this beach, for example. All of the glowing stars scattered along the sand aren’t the result of some clever Photoshop skills. They’re completely real and this isn’t the first time it has happened on this beach in the Maldives. Mother Nature can be so awesome.
This incredible display of glowing blue waves on Vaadhoo Island in the Maldives is the result of phytoplankton.
“Dinoflagellates” are a common kind of phytoplankton, and their give off a bright blue glow because their cell membrane responds to electrical signals…
I would pay almost anything to see these heavenly blue waves in person. They seem too beautiful to really exist. I didn’t think I’d ever say this, but phytoplankton are so cool.

” அம்பாள் ‘படி’ அளப்பாள்” …. !!!
பெரியவாள் காசி யாத்திரை (1933) செல்லும் வழியில் ஒரு ஆந்திர குக்கிராமம் ஒன்றில் முகாமிட்டபோது ஸ்ரீ ஸி.எஸ்,விக்கு (விச்வநாதையர்) பொத்துக்கொண்டு வந்து விட்டதாம்.
“எடுத்துச் செலவழிப்பதற்கு நம் மடத்தில் என்ன கொட்டியா கிடக்கிறது? இந்தத் தரித்திரம் பிடித்த ஊரில் இத்தனை யானையையும்,ஒட்டையையும்,ஜனங்களையும் கட்டித் தீனி போடுவதென்றால் எப்படி?” என்கிற ரீதியில் பெரியவாள் காதுபடப் பொரிந்து தள்ளி விட்டாராம்.
பெரியவாள் அவரைக் கூப்பிட்டார். சாந்தமாக ” நீ ஏன் பதட்டப்படறே? நாம நல்ல காரியத்தை உத்தேசிச்சுப் பொறப்பட்டிருக்கோம்.நம்ப லக்ஷ்யம் நன்னாயிருந்தா அம்பாள் கை கொடுக்காமப் போவாளா? அவதானே எல்லாருக்கும் படியளக்கிறா? நமக்கும் நிறைய அளப்பா”என்றாராம்.
மறுநாள், விச்வநாதய்யரால் நம்பவே முடியவில்லை! அந்தக் கிராமத்தில் ஏதாவது திருவிழா நடந்ததா, அல்லது சந்தை கூடிற்றா, அல்லது இப்படி எதுவுமே
நடக்காமல் பெரியவாளின் சக்தி மட்டும்தான் வேலை செய்ததா என்று அவருக்குச் சொல்ல தெரியவில்லை.
ஆனால் சொல்லத் தெரிந்தது, மறுநாள் காலையிலிருந்து அந்த நிர்மாநுஷ்யக் குக்கிராமத்தில் புற்றீசலாகப் பக்தர்கள் பெரியவாளை வழிபட வந்து கொண்டேயிருந்ததுதான். வந்தது மட்டும் இல்லை.
அக்காலத்தில் வெள்ளி நாணயம் வழங்கி வந்ததல்லவா? வந்த பக்தர்கள் யாவரும் இப்படி நாணயங்களைக் கொண்டு வந்து கொட்டினார்கள். “நான் மடத்திலே இருந்திருக்கிற இந்த நாற்பது வருஷமா இதை (எஸ்,வி.என்னிடம் கூறியது சுமார் பத்து ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன்பு-கட்டுரை-1960-பின் பாதியில்) அந்த மாதிரி ஒத்தை ஒத்தை ரூபாயா வந்து குன்று மாதிரி குவிஞ்சதேயில்லை! மடத்து ஜாகையிலே எல்லாத்தையும் சேத்துக் குவிச்சு எண்ணிட்டுப் படியாலே எடுத்து எடுத்துச் சாக்கிலே போட்டுக் கட்டினோம்.
பெரியவாள்,”அம்பாள்,’படி’ அளப்பாள்’னு சொன்னேன். ஒனக்கு நம்பிக்கைப் படலை. இப்ப நீயே ‘படியாலே’ அளந்து அளந்து கொட்டறே, பாத்தியா?”ன்னா!
“பெரியவாளுக்குத் தெரியாதது எதுவும் இல்லை. பெரியவா செய்ய முடியாதது எதுவும் இல்லை. இருந்தாலும் ‘எங்களைக் கூட வெச்சுண்டு ஆட்டம் போட்டிருக்கா” என்று முடித்தார் விச்வநாதையர்

Amazing ” Amazon ” !!!
NEEDLE in a Haystick ???…. Dont worry we know where it is !!!!…. AMAZON ….
As the world’s largest online retailer, Amazon needs somewhere to put all of those products. The solution? Giant warehouses. Eighty to be exact. Strategically located near key shipping hubs around the world. The warehouses themselves are massive, with some over 1.2 million square feet in size (111,484 sq m). And at the heart of this global operation are people (over 65,000 of them), and a logistics system known as chaotic storage.
Chaotic storage is like organized confusion. It’s an organic shelving system without permanent areas or sections. That means there is no area just for books, or a place just for televisions (like you might expect in a retail store layout). The product’s characteristics and attributes are irrelevant. What’s important is the unique barcode associated with every product that enters the warehouse.
Every single shelf space inside an Amazon warehouse has a barcode. And every incoming product that requires storage is assigned a specific barcode that matches the shelf space in which it will be stored. This allows free space to be filled quickly and efficiently. At the heart of the operation is a sophisticated database that tracks and monitors every single product that enters/leaves the warehouse and keeps a tally on every single shelf space and whether it’s empty or contains a product.
There are several key advantages to the chaotic storage system. First is flexibility. With chaotic storage, freed-up space can be refilled immediately. Second is simplicity. New employees don’t need to learn where types of products are located. They simply need to find the storage shelf within the warehouse. You don’t need to know what the product is, just where it is. Lastly is optimization. Amazon must handle millions and millions of orders. That means that at any given moment there is a long list of products that need to be ‘picked’ from the shelves and prepared for shipment. Since there is a database that knows every product required for shipment and the location of each product inside the warehouse, an optimized route can be provided to employees responsible for fulfilment.
Since Amazon deals with such a wide variety of products there are a few exceptions to the rule. Really fast-moving articles do not adhere to the same storage system since they enter and leave the warehouse so quickly. Really bulky and heavy products still require separate storage areas and perishable goods are not ideal for obvious reasons.
In this storage system a wide variety of products can be found located next to each other. A necklace could be located beside a DVD and underneath a set of power tools. This arbitrary placement can even help with accuracy as it makes mix-ups less likely when picking orders for shipment. Overall it’s a fascinating system that at its core is powered by a complex database yet run by a simple philosophy. It’s Chaotic Storage. There’s no better way to put it 🙂

Smog In Beijing is so bad that You Have to Watch the Sunrise On TV !!!
These TVs are now being used to display the sunrise.If you want to see the sunrise in Beijing, you can’t necessarily look up in the sky.
The smog has become so dangerously thick, officials are televising virtual sunrises on massive TV screens throughout the city. The screens are normally used for advertisements for local tourist destinations, but are now being used for something that the rest of us perhaps take for granted.
Viewing the sunrise isn’t the only thing affected by the smog. Chinese officials had to close some freeways because of low visibility levels. On Thursday, the level of pollution was “hazardous,” meaning that the air quality index was many times over what’s considered safe by the World Health Organisation, according to The New York Times.
Check out the video below to see what the sunrise looks like on a giant TV screen.
