A young man with an unusually happy disposition once came to meet me in Jerusalem. I asked him, "What's your secret?"He told me, "When I was 11 years old, God gave me a gift of happiness. I was riding my bicycle when a strong gust of wind blew me onto the ground into the path of an oncoming truck. The truck ran over me and cut off my leg."As I lay there bleeding, I realized that I might have to live the rest of my life without a leg. How depressing! But then I realized that being depressed won't get my leg back. So I decided right then and there not to waste my life despairing."When my parents arrived at the hospital they were

Though the queues have got even longer rather than disappear, the advent of the internet technologies has made the task much easier. With the internet, mundane and time-consuming tasks such as booking tickets have become merely a matter of a few clicks on the keyboard of your computer.

Thermodynamics-Entropy IntroductionEntropy is a measure of the quality of energy and how usable it is....Entropy (S)is very difficult to visualise because it does not represent anything tangible. The entropy increase δS is the heat transfer to a substance δQ divided by the absolute temperature of the substance (T) during a reversible heat-transfer process. At the very simplest level , on a plot of Absolute Temperature (T) against Entropy (Q/T = S) for a reversible cyclic process (as shown below) the area enclosed = Q Note: The reversible cyclic p

) – God did not create the universe and the "Big Bang" was an inevitable consequence of the laws of physics, the eminent British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking argues in a new book.In "The Grand Design," co-authored with U.S. physicist Leonard Mlodinow, Hawking says a new series of theories made a creator of the universe redundant, according to the Times newspaper which published extracts on Thursday."Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist," Hawking

How do you worship nature when you're not worshiping nature. What are your unconscious icons, the gods of your unholy acts?Every day industrial icons are fed into our lives, even if we are Veegan, cyclists with organic gardens and compost piles, living in solar houses made from sustainably harvested timber. Even if you offer a room share for VEGETARIANS WITHOUT TV'S ONLY, everybody lives downstream. Industrial icons like dioxin and uranium are in all the streams at this point anyway.Separatism's been done and it doesn't work. Every invocation of the powers of nature is a condemnation of the acts that are slowly killing our connections to t

First of all, whenever somebody has any ambition or aim to do something, he or she should be confident to do that thing, means never lose HOPE.FOR IIT-JEE: For the preparation of IIT-JEE, you have to clear & enhance your CONCEPTS. All you have to go through more and more CONCEPTS.Whenever somebody prepares for IIT-JEE, just always be with THREE THINGS:>First is: BUILDING THE CONCEPTS,>Second is: PROPER APPLICATIONS OF CONCEPTS &>Third is: PRACTICE.Here remember, I stressed on the word 'PROPER'. In Physics, building CONCEPTS is not a tougher job but building RIGHT (PROPER) CONCEPTS is much tougher. Out of every 20 students, I guarantee, that
