EASTER SUNDAY IS COMING UP SOON, MARCH 31, 2013....I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE BUT I THINK IT'S A GOOD TIME TO SEND IT TO THOSE I CARE ABOUT.

A REMINDER OF WHO JESUS IS AND THAT WE MIGHT FOCUS OUR ATTENTION ON THE REASON WHY EASTER IS CELEBRATED. "He is not here, He is risen" Luke 24:6
 
They may be arrogant sometimes, but you can't tell Texans what they can or cannot do; regardless of the Supreme Court of the United States.

IN A TOWN CALLED GROOM, TEXAS, there is always someone stopped here to visit, pray, or meditate. Trucks, buses, or single vehicles. Groom is a tiny town on I-40, but gets lots of visitors because of this.


What an incredible display. This could be one of the last surviving Christian symbols in the country!
This is about 70 miles from Amarillo outside of town called Groom, TX.

Read message at the end of pictures! These are the pictures of the crucifixion of Christ, Sculptured from metal by a man near Amarillo , TX . The crosses are made of metal also. The man did this out of the kindness of his heart. Someone donated the land on which to erect them.
IN CHEMISTRY, HE TURNED WATER TO WINE.
IN BIOLOGY, HE WAS BORN WITHOUT THE NORMAL CONCEPTION.

IN PHYSICS, HE DISPROVED THE LAW OF GRAVITY WHEN HE WALKED ON WATER AND THEN LATER, ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN.
IN ECONOMICS, HE DISPROVED THE LAW OF DIMINISHING RETURN BY FEEDING 5000 MEN WITH 2 FISHES & 5 LOAVES OF BREAD.
IN MEDICINE, HE CURED THE SICK AND THE BLIND WITHOUT ADMINISTERING A SINGLE DOSE OF DRUGS.

IN HISTORY, HE IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END.
IN GOVERNMENT, HE SAID THAT HE SHALL BE CALLED WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, PRINCE OF PEACE.
IN RELIGION, HE SAID NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH HIM;
SO, WHO IS HE?

HE IS JESUS!
JOIN ME AND LET'S CELEBRATE HIM; HE IS WORTHY.
THE EYES BEHOLDING THIS MESSAGE SHALL NOT BEHOLD EVIL.
THE HAND THAT WILL SEND THIS MESSAGE TO
EVERYBODY SHALL NOT LABOR IN VAIN.
AND THE MOUTH SAYING AMEN TO THIS PRAYER SHALL SMILE FOREVER.
REMAIN IN GOD AND SEEK HIS FACE ALWAYS. AMEN.
IN GOD, I'VE FOUND EVERYTHING!
The Greatest Man in History Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.
Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.
Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer.
He had no army, yet kings feared Him..
He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime,
yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today. I feel honored
to serve such a Leader who loves us! If you believe in God and in Jesus Christ His
Son, you may wish to send it on.... If not, just ignore it.

If you ignore it, just remember that Jesus said. 'If you deny me before man, I will deny you before my Father in Heaven'.

[www.keralites.net] Khatte-mitten khabhrain from around the world for 30/3/13

 

Weird accident…
 
40-year-old man killed while trying to start bike.  Two-wheeler caught fire after battery exploded when bike was kick-started.
 
**
 
Think it over…
 
"If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despite, we don't believe in it at all" – Noam Chomsky
 
(Meant for those gloating over their success, esp. in ToI, in thwarting NaMo from delivering his keynote address at Wharton...)
 
**
 
Quote of the day…
**
 
 
"TN political parties were only fomenting trouble between Sri Lanka's Tamil and Sinhalese population" – Valutham Dayanidhi (no, not DMK patriarch's grandson), former LTTE spokesperson.
 
(It is plain common sense that the virulent antics of the southern state government and politicians will serve no purpose whatsoever; on the contrary, things will only exacerbate for the already hapless Lankan Tamils with their government and local population hardening their stand.    If media reports are any indication, the local politicians with their unreasonable demands stand isolated in the entire country)
 
**
 
One woman to another: "My husband's idea of planning for the future is programming the DVR."
 
**
 
A man placed some flowers on the grave of his dearly departed mother and started back towards his car when his attention was diverted to another man kneeling at a grave.  The man seemed to be praying with profound intensity and kept repeating, "Why did you have to die?  Why did you have to die?"
 
The first man approached him and said, "Sir, I don't wish to interfere with your private grief, but this demonstration of pain is more than I've ever seen before.  For whom do you mourn so deeply?  A child?   A parent?"
 
The mourner took a moment to collect himself, then replied, "My wife's first husband."
 
**
 
Does God exist?  Read the following stories and be the judge.
 
1)   Two firms to pay Belapur man Rs.25,000 for 'misleading' ads..
 
The ads, featuring celebs, promised to change lives of those who bought 'miracle' beads and lockets.
 
Bhanudas Dhotre, a resident of Navi Mumbai, waited almost four months for his life to 'change' after he purchased rudraksh beads and a 'Dhanlakshmi Chakra'.  Dhotre, who was unemployed, was convinced of the products' divine powers after he saw celebrities extolling their virtues on television.  In December 2010, he placed the order with a firm which sourced the products from another firm, and charged him Rs.5,600.  The ad guaranteed 'favorable results' within 15 days of acquiring the beads and the chakra.  The complaint said his life didn't get any better even months after purchasing the products.
 
2)   Five of family commit suicide to 'meet Lord Shiva after death'
Kanchan Singh fed his family poisoned sweets with the promise of meeting god after a ritual in which they expected the deity to appear didn't work; he filmed the ritual.
 
Jaipur: Five members of a family, including 3 children, died after consuming poison to fulfill their dream of meeting Lord Shiva in heaven, after a macabre ritual (it is too gruesome even to describe here) in which they had expected the deity to appear before them failed.
 
**
 
Weird world…
 
Police chase cows in town…
 
Austrian police and firefighters have taken on the role of cowboys in a two-day round-up of a herd of cows that broke out of a fenced-off pasture and decided to go into town.  Police say the 43 animals defied attempts by police and volunteer firefighters to recapture them after wandering off Thursday, and heading towards the town of Freistadt.  After being chased away from the railway station, they stampeded onto a two-land highway before running into a town.  Eighteen animals are still loose.
 
**
 
34-year-old man accused of using fake penis for drug test.
 
A St. Louis-area man is facing criminal charges alleging that he used a prosthetic penis to try to pass a drug test.  Authorities say 34-year-old Sydney Levin was submitting a urine sample last week as part of his probation when an officer spotted him using a prosthetic, known as a Whizzinator.
 
**
 
Passengers on a cruise ship see a bearded man on a small island, shouting and desperately waving his hands.
 
"Who is it?" a passenger asks the captain.
 
"I've no idea.  Every year, when we pass by, he goes mad."
 
(Me: black humour, indeed)

"The true sign of intelligence  is not knowledge but imagination" – Albert Einstein.

[www.keralites.net] He is lighting up villages with rice husk!

 

He is lighting up villages with rice husk!


For the villagers of Tamkuha, a dusty hamlet in rural Bihar, Gyanesh Pandey is the modern day alchemist who transformed piles of discarded rice husk to light up their lives.

Today, every household in Tamkuha has been literally lifted out of darkness with an uninterrupted, self-sufficient power supply, which many towns and cities in India still have not been able to achieve even 60 years after Independence.

Tamkuha, however, is not alone in this matter. Around 50,000 villagers in 120 villages across Bihar and 3 villages in Uttar Pradesh have been benefited by these 'green' power plants.

For villagers, this cheap and eco-friendly model of generating electricity is a miracle that has transformed their lives. No wonder Gyanesh Pandey, the 33-year-old Non-Resident Indian has won the hearts of many poor villagers. "Aap Bhagwan ho (you are God!)!" said a poor villager to Gyanesh Pandey, when he first saw his house lit up.

After relinquishing a successful career in the United States, Gyanesh returned to his native home state in 2007. A mind-altering Vipasana session reaffirmed his desire to come back to Bihar.

He teamed up with his friends Ratnesh Yadav, Manoj Sinha and Charles W Ransler to set up Husk Power Systems, three years ago. Gyanesh, Ratnesh and Manoj had borne the burnt of the power crisis and many problems while growing up and studying in rural Bihar.

Their idea was simple: to provide power to villagers who depended on agriculture as their main occupation in a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly manner. After six years of research and experiments, the team decided that the most feasible way would be making electricity from rice husk.

Many were skeptical about its success. But today, HPS owns and operates 40 mini-power plants (35-100 kw) across Bihar. Through this unique green technology, villages get uninterrupted power for up to 6-12 hours by setting up a plant, which burns rice husk to generate gas to run generators.

"After 60 years of independence, we got the real azadi (freedom) now," Rambalak Yadav, an excited school teacher from Tamkuha, said.

Gyanesh admits he never liked anything about Bihar. So it was a conscious decision to move to the United States. However, years later, he felt India calling him back. Although he kept away from his native place for years, deep within, he knew that one day he needed to come back and work for the upliftment of these villages.

"Becoming an entrepreneur was an evolutionary process. I had a good life in America. I did not face any problems there, but I always had the feeling that I must do something for our villages. I do not feel I have made any sacrifice. Today, there is hardly anything I do other than work. It gives me the satisfaction no job can ever give," says Gyanesh, who feels India's acute power crisis must be solved efficiently with renewable resources.

The company is set to make profits by the end of this year and plans to light up villages in other states like Maharastra, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.

Providing electricity to villages across India is just the beginning of Gyanesh's ambitious plan to transform rural India. The company has already taken up the initiative to educate 200 children from Tumkuha.

An optimistic and determined Gyanesh is chalking out a grand vision to build an integrated network to upgrade health, education and energy needs of India's poorest people. He shares the excitement, the trials and tribulations of bringing light in the lives of hundreds of poor people.

How is rice husk converted into electricity? How much of rice husk is required for this process?

The process of gasification involves controlled burning of the biomass to produce a particular cocktail of gases, called the producer gas. This gas is a mixture of carbon monoxide, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and a little bit of methane.

Producer gas is a combustible gas. It is fed into a gas engine, which drives an alternator to produce electricity. About 2 kg of rice husk is required to produce 1 kilowatt of electricity.
