Crucial Security Tips for Ladies

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do[Don’t ask me whats it] :
The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!

2.. If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM.
Toss it away from you..... Chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse.
RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy..
The driver won't see you, but everybody else will.. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars  after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their chequebook, or making a list, etc.
DON'T DO THIS!) The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head,
and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR , LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE..

If someone is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF, Repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF!
Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you [if you have one - but be cautious not to lose your life]. If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it . As soon as the car crashes bail out and run. It is better than having them find your body in a remote location.

 

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
A.) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor , and in the back seat
B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

C.) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the passenger side... If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs.. Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true at NIGHT!)

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; and even then,
it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked 'for help' into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

9. Another Safety Point: Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird... The police told her 'Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door..' The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over..

The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.' He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that they hear baby's cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night.
 
10. Water scam! If you wake up in the middle of the night to hear all your taps outside running or what you think is a burst pipe, DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE! These people turn on all your outside taps full ball so that you will go out to investigate and then attack.

Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbors! Please pass this on This e-mail should probably be taken seriously because the Crying Baby Theory was mentioned on America 's Most Wanted when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana

I'd like you to forward this to all the men and women you know.. It may save a life.. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle.. Not a compulsion to forward but only if it makes sense to youJ

Worldwide Telescope - A Universe of Learning

Dear all,

I just came across this awesome site that’s so interesting and informative.  So just thought I would share it others as there could be someone who is interested in spending time knowing about this… J

Experience WorldWide Telescope

 

WorldWide Telescope (WWT) enables your computer to function as a virtual telescope, bringing together imagery from the best ground and space-based telescopes in the world. Experience narrated guided tours from astronomers and educators featuring interesting places in the sky. A web-based version of WorldWide Telescope is also now available for preview. This version enables seamless, guided explorations of the universe from within a web browser on PC and Intel Mac OS X by using the power of Microsoft Silverlight 2.0.

Worldwide Telescope - A Universe of Learning

Did you know that 2009 is the International Year of Astronomy? It’s also 40 years since man first stepped on the Moon. Because of this, in my recent school visits I’ve seen a lot of teachers undertaking projects based around Earth and space. (Incidentally, as a child of the 1960's, I feel really old seeing this period studied in school as 'history'. Don't worry, Kristen - the 70's will be next!) I loved teaching about space when I was teaching. It was a great topic to develop pupils thinking skills and spark their imagination and creativity. The topic of space is ideal to utilise a range of rich ICT resources. I wanted to share one in particular. When I show this to teachers, they always ask two questions: where can I get it and how much is it?

The 'it’ I am referring to is Microsoft Worldwide Telescope (WWT), available at www.worldwidetelescope.org .

Worldwide Telescope Overview

WWT is described as ‘a Web 2.0 visualization software environment that enables your computer to function as a virtual telescope—bringing together imagery from the best ground and space-based telescopes in the world for a seamless exploration of the universe.’ Or to put it in simpler terms, the biggest visual playground of discovery that you could give your pupils.

Worldwide Telescope allows you to bring stunning visuals of the universe directly into the classroom. Pupils are able to interact with and explore the universe through terabytes of digital data collected and stitched together by the software.

There is so much great imagery in this application that the possible use in the classroom is endless. In terms of knowledge and information, it has everything you would need to meet the needs of the national curriculum. The visuals of the planets are stunning; they can be explored in 3D and pupils can ‘fly’ from one planet to another, discovering the order of the planets and their orbits. They can control this navigation in real time, so they can ask questions such as ‘What was the position of the planets on a birthday?’ or ‘What date will the planets all be in alignment?’

More advanced activities can be based around the electromagnetic spectrum, with astronomical phenomena able to be viewed as infrared and x-rays, as well as visible light. This is an astrophysicists delight!

Another great feature of WWT are the guided tours. Created by the development team and scientists from NASA, these give you tutorials of how to use the various functions of WWT, as well as detailed descriptions of deep space objects and phenomena. The best part of this feature is that pupils can make their own guided tours, using any of the imagery in WWT and adding their own commentary and even music.

With this being the 40th anniversary of the first moon landing, WWT has a wealth of imagery from the Apollo missions, including some panoramas of the scene that astronauts saw when they first set foot on the moon. This is a great stimulus for some creative writing or recording audio to accompany the imagery. If you use this in your lessons with footage from the actual moon landings, you are able to give your pupils a great learning experience.

But, I haven’t yet answered the second question teachers ask, which is, how much does this great resource cost? Well the answer is, absolutely nothing! Amazingly, this resource is completely free. At this point in my presentations, teachers usually gasp and quickly write down the download URL, www.worldwidetelescope.org

Have a great weekend.!!!!

Dear all,

 

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily, gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said "you have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one." You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there. Make sure you control your temper the next time you are tempted to say something you will regret later.

 

Have a great weekend…!!!!

 

Thanks

What is this....???

What Is This?

Slurp cancel

My first thoughts: It looks like a cross between a glassed-off launch pad and some kind of prop you'd find in a stunt driving video game. In reality, this is a day-to-day convenience in a major city.

The retro-futuristic, glass-encased structure is actually a parking garage in Moscow, for regular, non-flying cars. Unlike VW's staggeringly large take on the same concept, this little piece of urban engineering takes up a mere 100 square meters, in which it can cram between 22 and 54 cars, depending on how many floors it's configured with—this one holds 34. The incredibly ornate rotating elevator mechanism is best explained in pictures.

Let us celebrate their incredible lives and spread the word to inspire the world…..

 

I have attached three articles of this series to this email and for more forth coming articles can be read at the below URL:

http://news.rediff.com/slide-show/2009/aug/12/slide-show-1-extraordinary-indians.htm

 

 

Friends,

 

Do you know people leading extraordinary lives? Individuals who are an example to Indian society, are a constant source of inspiration and are changing lives?

They may not be famous people but could be making a difference in their own distinct way, like the man who performs the last rites for abandoned bodies in Chennai; a doctor in rural Maharashtra who treats tribals for only Rs 1; a quadriplegic fighter pilot who has refused to give up on life and has made writing his weapon -- we are looking for many such incredible Indians.

If you know of such people, please send Rediff their names and contact information (address/phone number). Do add a line on why you think they are extraordinary.

Name of the Extraordinary Indian:

Address:

Phone number:

What makes her/him extraordinary:

Please mail your recommendation to: extraordinarylives@rediffmail.com

 

Have a inspiring day !!!!

 

Thanks

Sreenath
