Letter to bill gates

Dear Mr Bill Gates,

This letter is from Banta Singh from Punjab. We have bought acomputer for our home and we encountered some problems, which I want to bring toyour notice.

1. After connecting to internet we planned to open e-mail account and whenever we fill the form in Hotmail in the password column, only ****** appears, but in the rest of the fields whatever we typed appears, but we face this problem only in password field. We checked with hardware vendor Santa Singh and he said that there is no problem in keyboard. Because of this we open the e-mail account with password *****. I request you to check this as we ourselves do not know what thepassword is.

Sale of devil's tools

It was advertised that the devil was going to put his tools up for sale. On the date of the sale, the tools were placed for public inspection; each tool being marked with its sale price.

They were a treacherous lot of implements... Hatred, Envy, Jealousy, Deceit, Lying, Pride, and so on.

Laid apart from the rest was a harmless looking tool, that appeared to have been heavily used, and was priced very high.

"What is the name of this tool?" asked one of the purchasers, pointing to it. "That is Disappointment," replied the devil.

"Why have you priced it so high?"

"Because it is more useful to me than all the others. I can pry open and get inside people's hearts with that when I cannot get near them with my other tools. Once I get inside, I can make them do what I choose. It is badly worn because I use it on almost everyone, since very few people know that it belongs to me."

Never get disappointed! Keep your head up keep the faith!

10 ways to improve your office etiquette

We spend one-third of our working lives at the office. The people we work with can affect our productivity and our careers, and vice versa. Practicing office etiquette makes the place and the workday just a bit more bearable.

1: Watch the volume of your voice

Keep your voice at a reasonable level. Other people are trying to work, and your voice may distract them. Besides, do you really want them to overhear what you're saying? If you have something personal or otherwise sensitive to discuss, consider doing it in a private office or conference room.

And now also care ringtone manners

Manners are always a sensitive and prevailing aspect of any society. These dictate matching, contrasting sense in dress, accessories, and items. Along with growing use of mobile tones in our daily life. It is also required to pay attention on ring tone manners.
Imagine that you are on your own or some one else marriage ceremony and a very desperate or sad ring tone is sung by your mobile. As a result every one will notice it and will convey unsaid messages.
Similarly if you are with a patient or on a funeral and a ring tone of pop, rock or bhangra category comes out of your cell. It will be a critical situation.
Similarly some old people who may not operate the mobile well, feel nervous when a tone of latest song comes out of their cell phone. And of course that very tone is set by one of their grandchildren or some other beloved child.
Situation becomes more worst when loud ring tone is heard during prayers.
So along with mobile manners we have to add ring tone manners also. Choose ring tone according to your age, environment and situation.

Reciting holy Quraan without understanding

Why do we read Quraan, even if we can't understand a single Arabic word????

This is a beautiful story.

An old American Muslim lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern Kentucky with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his Quraan. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could.

One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa ! I try to read the Quraan just like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book.
What good does reading the Quraan do?"

Life is a gift

There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she's blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He's always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend. One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she can see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, "now that you can see the world, will you marry me?" The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend is blind too, and refused to marry him.

Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying.

"Just take care of my eyes dear."

Hackers hit white house email archive

According to a story by the Financial Times last week, US officials have confirmed that the White House email archives were attacked several times in recent months. The report said the National Cyber Investigative Joint Task Force, a new unit established in 2007 to tackle cybersecurity, detected the attacks on the White House, and also traced the attacks back to servers based in China.

The quoted source said each time the attack was detected, new defenses were put in place: "It is constant cat and mouse."

Overall, the attackers apparently only had access to the unclassified White House computer network. Nonetheless, the data could still have value.

The unnamed official quoted within the report speculated that the cyberattacks might follow the "grain of sands" approach allegedly used by Chinese intelligence. That involves parsing through often low-level information to find a few nuggets.

Rock eating bateria

Bacteria can leach small amounts of valuable metals from otherwise useless ore, researchers have found.

These mineral-crunching microorganisms are a type of bacteria that use minerals as their source of energy. When the life-forms break down the matter through metabolism, they squeeze out metal ores or concentrates combined with sulfur in a process called bioleaching.

The method is emerging as an increasingly important way to extract valuable minerals when conventional methods such as smelting can't do the job cheaply enough, experts say.

Development is also being spurred by the electronics industry's brisk global demand for copper.

"Certain microbes react to metal ions and help copper be leached out of low-quality ore," said Masaru Tomita of the Institute for Advanced Biosciences at Japan's Keio University.

Clonning of frozen mice

Using cells from dead mice frozen for 16 years, a team of Japanese geneticists has successfully created healthy clones of the dead animals.

The breakthrough could pave the way for resurrecting extinct animals, such as the woolly mammoth, from frozen remains, experts say.
"We have demonstrated that even frozen animal tissue can be used to produce clones," said Teruhiko Wakayama, a geneticist at the Riken Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe, Japan.
For their cloning process, Wakayama and his colleagues drew dead brain and blood cells from the frozen mice. The researchers injected the nuclei from the dead cells directly into unfertilized mouse eggs, creating embryos.

is oldest Hebrew Text Is Evidence for Bible Stories?

What may be the oldest known Hebrew text, found on a hilltop above the valley where David is said to have battled Goliath, could lend historical support to some Bible stories, archaeologists say.

The 3,000-year-old pottery shard with five lines of text was found during excavations of the Elah Fortress, the oldest known biblical-period fortress, which dates to the tenth century B.C.

It is the most important archaeological discovery in Israel since the Dead Sea Scrolls, according to lead researcher Yosef Garfinkel of the Hebrew University's Institute of Archaeology. His team believes the text may provide evidence for a real-life King David and his vast kingdom, the existence of which has been long doubted by scholars. Carbon-14 dating of olive pits found at the archaeological site, as well as analysis of pottery remains, also place the text to between 1000 and 975 B.C., the time King David, head of the Kingdom of Israel, would have lived. "This means that historical knowledge of King David could pass from generation to generation in writing—and not just as oral tradition."

Hamein to apnoan nein mara, Ghairoan mein kahan dam than
Aur hadian wahan tootean, jahan hospital band tha
Jis ambulance mein dala, us ka petrol kam tha
rikshay mein bithaya, k us ka karaya kam tha
Doctor nein uthaya, nars mein kahan dam tha
jis bed pay litaya, us kay neechay bum tha
