Your eyes will not believe when you take a look at what happened to this baby moose

A man in Northern British Columbia in Canada is jolted out of his senses when his neighbour calls out to him to come over to his backyard. He is in for a shock, as you can see in this video, http://youtu.be/G_DQyOCtIZw. All he can see is a pair of hooves sticking out of his wooden fence. In his wildest imagination, he would not have thought about a close and personal encounter with a moose that got stuck in the wooden fence while trying to jump and clear it. The front legs of the moose get trapped in the fence as the moose did not have sufficient height to clear the fence. As he approaches the fence, the man realises what his neighbour was yelling about. He had been telling that there is a moose stuck in his fence. Now, he believes it and sees an agitated and distressed face of a baby moose with his big brown peering eyes. With a little help from his neighbour, the man finally gets to chip off the wooden panels from the fence to free the legs of the poor moose. After it gets freed, the moose is not able to get over what just happened and hangs around for over a couple of minutes as if to say, “I may have been stupid but thanks anyway for helping me out.” ttps://youtu.be/G_DQyOCtIZw

Why are NRI parents comfortable about sending their boys to the best boarding schools in India?

It has been observed that many NRIs are sending their boys to the best boarding schools in India. These parents insist that the boarding schools focus more on academic excellence than the all round development concept because they want their wards to get into the top branded colleges after their graduation from these boarding schools. The main reason why a residential school for boys is preferred to other schools is that it is equipped with teachers who are highly skilled in the subjects that they teach and they also maintain a higher degree of discipline on the children. More than their individual academic prowess, these teachers are all rounders themselves when they qualify for the teaching posts in the boarding schools. They live round the clock in a residential school environment with the boys and are sensitive to the growth of the adolescents and the teens. This breed of teachers is quite hard to find in the cities. It has also been noted that lesser males are opting for the teaching profession in India as far as urban schools are concerned. There is always a risk of getting distracted for boys in city and day schools as against the boarding schools. Better discipline can be maintained in boys’ boarding schools Growing need for better results in residential schools The growing need for better and higher results, academically, is making the management of best residential school for boys to concentrate more on academic excellence in the final years of the children’s curriculum, more so than extra-curricular activities. However, they will make sure that the all round development of a child is still given priority and that particular ethos is maintained. Focus on career growth It is the goal of some parents to enable their children to get quality coaching and upbringing in such residential schools in India so that they are ready to take admission to top professional colleges. Boys’ boarding schools have always remained an excellent option for such parents who are not in a position to devote sufficient quality time to their children and towards their upbringing in this sensitive phase of their growth.

You can see through a phone

Polytron has launched a transparent phone prototype so that you can see through it while using it. You have perhaps seen phones with clear glass in science fiction films. The recent film that comes to mind is `Looper’. The reality may be closer than you have earlier dreamed of. Polytron is a world famous global systems integration company which is based in Georgia, USA and Taiwan. It runs its subsidiary, Polytronix in Taiwan. Polytronix wants to launch a transparent mobile phone. Apart from observing a memory card, a circuit board and a small battery, the rest of the phone looks like totally transparent. The prototype is not functional yet. This device could be ready by the end of the year for the retail market. People are raising questions about its functionality. They feel that the visual quality is bound to suffer. This is not the only instance where a firm has come out with the idea of using glass. There has been a completely transparent USB memory drive stick that has come out and will be also available for the retail market sometime later this year. Despite being a cool idea, the marketers are uncertain of how the general public is going to react to it. The general concern will be about how much the phone is going to cost and what it will be capable of doing. The phones are definitely going to be priced on the higher bracket. Polytronix feels that it can make smartphones clear to the eye with a technology that inserts microscopic wires into the glass and make the handset without the wires being seen. The prototype of this phone will not run an operating system but will have a SIM card, an SD card, battery, microphone, wiring and a camera. https://youtu.be/V4PIaAhWf0Q

The World as I see it

An essay by Albert Einstein "How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people -- first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy. A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving... "I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves -- this critical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty. The ideals that have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. Without the sense of kinship with men of like mind, without the occupation with the objective world, the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific endeavors, life would have seemed empty to me. The trite objects of human efforts -- possessions, outward success, luxury -- have always seemed to me contemptible. "My passionate sense of social justice and social responsibility has always contrasted oddly with my pronounced lack of need for direct contact with other human beings and human communities. I am truly a 'lone traveler' and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends, or even my immediate family, with my whole heart; in the face of all these ties, I have never lost a sense of distance and a need for solitude..." "My political ideal is democracy. Let every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized. It is an irony of fate that I myself have been the recipient of excessive admiration and reverence from my fellow-beings, through no fault, and no merit, of my own. The cause of this may well be the desire, unattainable for many, to understand the few ideas to which I have with my feeble powers attained through ceaseless struggle. I am quite aware that for any organization to reach its goals, one man must do the thinking and directing and generally bear the responsibility. But the led must not be coerced, they must be able to choose their leader. In my opinion, an autocratic system of coercion soon degenerates; force attracts men of low morality... The really valuable thing in the pageant of human life seems to me not the political state, but the creative, sentient individual, the personality; it alone creates the noble and the sublime, while the herd as such remains dull in thought and dull in feeling. "This topic brings me to that worst outcrop of herd life, the military system, which I abhor... This plague-spot of civilization ought to be abolished with all possible speed. Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate them! "The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed. It was the experience of mystery -- even if mixed with fear -- that engendered religion. A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, our perceptions of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which only in their most primitive forms are accessible to our minds: it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute true religiosity. In this sense, and only this sense, I am a deeply religious man... I am satisfied with the mystery of life's eternity and with a knowledge, a sense, of the marvelous structure of existence -- as well as the humble attempt to understand even a tiny portion of the Reason that manifests itself in nature."

There is a lack of buyer interest for electric cars in China

Car makers are realizing that there is lack of buyer interest for electric cars. The analysts have described their feeling that leadership in the manufacture of electric cars is still eluding China. The reasons could be the hurdles China is facing in technological developments and a complete lack of interest among the buyers. Both these factors are scaling back the electric car industry in China. Chinese car makers and their partners are finding that it has become extremely difficult to make an electric car that will be one of the high sellers and be among the leading world models. About three years back, the Chinese car makers had big plans and hoped that they will be able to meet the world demand for greener cars. China has always wanted to become a world power in the manufacture of electric cars. They had kept aside many billions of dollars for research and had budgeted for annual sales of around half a million cars. As of now, Beijing is withdrawing its expectations on account of technological drawbacks and absence of interest among the consumers. So much so, those electric car makers are unable to push sales to even two thousand cars a year and even these two thousand cars will mostly be taxi cabs. The government is also going to intervene by expanding the car industry’s portfolios to lay emphasis on cleaner petrol engines. The government has been continuously changing the targets as the technology has not been developing as quickly as it had expected. Right now, about thirteen thousand electric and alternate energy cars are undergoing tests in over twenty cities in China. This is still a small figure despite the subsidies that have been offered by the government. The most advanced manufacturer of electric cars in china is the BYD Company. Hathaway Corporation of Berkshire has a ten per cent stake in this company. The BYD Company has announced that, like the Western models, its electric E6 sedan can go up to one hundred and ninety miles on a single battery charge. BYD has already sold about three hundred taxi cabs and two hundred electric buses in Shenzhen which is a business hub near Hong Kong. Thousands of engineers are working with the motor battery technology at BYD Company. There are not so many makers of electric cars with reliable production potential. The Chinese government had seen electric cars as the means to cut down the demand for oil imports. They consider this demand as a dangerous threat to them. They are looking to alternate energy car manufacturers to help build China from a low-cost factory investment area to a builder of technology through electric and hybrid cars which will bring in profits and commercial success. Consumers also had become wary and they had been discouraged by reports from the media that batteries in cars made by Chinese and foreign collaborators had caught fire during the test runs. Scarcity of charging stations is also raising anxiety.
