    Weird ScienceThe Red Sea parts again

    It parted once. It parted twice. And

    this time scientists are watching

    the whole thing. Satellite images

    and the African Plate are movingaway from each other and

    parting the southern end of the

    Red Sea. This growing rift,

    which is tearing the northeast

    of Ethiopia and Eritrea from the

    create a whole new sea.

    When Technology meets Entertainment

    Behind the scenes of 300

    creative work that takes place on a

    computer can be as important aswhat goes on in front of the camera.

    In the big-screen adaptation of

    Frank Miller's historical graphic

    novel 300 (below), the future

    Spartan King Leonidas fends off a

    wolf. On set, visual-effects

    supervisor Chris Watts tried usinga robotic wolf (below) for the scene,

    but it was eventually covered up by

    can be shot, edited and

    distributed from camera to

    theater and beyond without

    involving a single frame of film.

    The transformation is at least

    as sweeping as the introduction

    of sound or color in the early20th century, and it is changing

    Verses Direct From Heart

    Measure of Love

    The value of a person to another depends,

    On the effect of ones tears on the other.For, the value of a tear depends,

    On the cheek upon which it rests.

    For a stranger, youd only feel curiosity,

    For an acquaintance. perhaps sympathy,

    A friend, youd hold while he cried andWipe the fallen tears and comfort him.

    For your love, youd wish to change the world,

    To prevent them from falling from those eyes.

    To know how much you love someone,

    Think of how much his tears bother you.

    To what lengths would you go,

    To stop those drops from falling?

    Thats just how much you love.By malavik thiagaraja (Bangalore)

    standing amidst all her children

    At one point of time in our

    lives, most of us have

    searched for answers to

    questions like: Is she/he theone I can spend the rest of

    my life with? Many of us fall

    in relationships and

    without giving much

    time to the relation,

    we get ready to commi

    t and start believing that he/she isthe one. But I bet that many such

    pre-mature decisions take a very

    serious turn later on and the

    reason is that we forget to

    understand that falling in love and

    love are two different things;

    Love and Marriage are two

    different concepts.Falling in love can be either a

    flash of emotions or a first step

    towards love. Falling in

    love is a strong

    instinctive attraction

    to the person of the`````` other sex. In case its

    mutual and both

    lovers will work at

    their relationships

    one day that feeling

    can grow into love.

    Falling in love is crazy,

    its when knees are getting weak and

    temperature rises, love is calm,

    comfortable and mental.

    Usually if you ask yourself am

    I in love? it means youre not,

    because when youre fallen in love

    you already have no questions, this

    feeling is to obvious to leave anydoubts. So its more reasonable to

    count the consequences of it than to

    look for the signs.

    We usually fall in lov

    with the way he/she walway he/she talks. When i

    relationship, some couple

    get married in the end bu

    Today, all one can

    his/her partners care and

    generosity. But this doesnlong term happiness. Thi

    will not remain the same

    Sometime people regret t

    decision of getting marrie

    17/33

    time to understand ourselves

    and the relation and not make a

    mistake.

    With time things change,

    they wont remain like that

    forever. In our culture, we

    strongly believe in the institutionof marriage. The problem is love

    and marriages are two different

    things. Marriage is a social

    arrangement that requires

    practicality. It is about being a

    part of the society. It is about

    raising children and changing

    nappies; about earning moneyand social status and focusing on

    mundane things like food,

    servants and relatives.

    Do we really think about it

    when we decide we want to

    spend the rest of our life with

    some person? Many peopledont! Falling in love is easy but

    being is love is very difficult.

    One should go ahead only when

    he/she has thought about all these

    in a practical sense. Its not about

    caste, its not about religion, its

    not even about your family; its

    about you. If you are sure you can

    have a successful relation than you

    surely will but this confident feeling

    should not be the result of

    infatuation, need or hurry. Be sure

    its real love!

    In most cases we think: this is

    true love, when in fact its not. But

    then if this isnt love than what it

    is? There are plenty of things that

    we confuse with love.It could bejust the basic instinct.

    But than what does real love

    look and feel like? Maybe its when

    two people seem to know each

    other for ages and even in their

    previous lives. No!

    True love is when partners

    complete one another, when

    theyre together its peaceful, the

    whole other world with its

    sufferings and problems do

    exist and nothing even ma

    True love means understan

    One trusts another more t

    him/herself and feels read

    satisfy every little need of

    partner.

    But the questionlove is still has no definite

    Do we truly love only onc

    life? Does it last for a lifeti

    just for a while? Probably

    has his own answers to th

    questions. The truth is tha

    should spend life chasing ibuilding relationships by s

    model of a true love. One

    probably fail and miss the

    thing beyond all this.

    We should reme

    only the true feeling of lov

    life really longer and happ

    this is a fact!

    Khaled Hosseinis book The kite

    runner has made a great impact on

    readers all over the world. I finally

    picked up the book at my library a

    few weeks back.And when Ifinished the book a few days later, I

    sat and thought about it a lot.

    The story is set in Kabul. The

    main character Amir is the son of

    a wealthy Afghan businessman. Ali

    is their servant who lives with them

    with his son Hassan. Hassan and

    Amir are inseparable friends.

    Hassan is the ultimate Kite

    Runner someone who rushes to

    catch the losing kites as they flutter

    to the ground when their strings are

    cut by the others. When Amir wins

    the Kite flying competition, Hassan

    runs the losing kite for him.However, he is confronted by Aseef

    a bully who takes pleasure in

    harassing the two friends at every

    opportunity. Amir, who goes lookingfor Hassan witnesses a horrifying

    incident but does nothing to prevent it.

    The political atmosphere changes

    in Afghanistan with the removal of the

    king and it is a dangerous time in Kabul.

    Amir and his father decide to leave to

    Pakistan. Eventually they find their way

    to the USA where they form a part of the

    small Afghan community. Amir grows

    up to be a writer and marries. Years pass

    by and out of the blue, Amirs fathers

    friend Rahim Khan asks Amir to come

    and meet him in Pakistan.

    When they meet, Amir learns of a

    shocking truth. He struggles withdealing with it his impressions of

    several people changing in one instant.

    What Rahim Khan gives him is a chance -

    one go at making amend

    than one sin. It is a chan

    can not let go of and on

    not return. This time, Am

    the difficult but right p

    World HistoryThe Merchant Royal Shipwreck

    The most valuable shipwreck of

    all-time was the Merchant

    Royal shipwreck of 1641, whichsank about 40 miles off the coast

    of Cornwall. The ship was

    carrying at least 100,000 pounds

    of gold (about $1 billion), 400

    bars of Mexican silver (about $1

    million), and about 500,000

    coins when it began taking on

    water and eventually sank due

    to rough weather. It is believed

    that this shipwreck was recently

    discovered by Odyssey Marine

    Exploration Inc. of Tampa, Florida

    when they announced in 2007 that

    they had discovered about 500,000

    (about $500 million) worth of gold and

    silver coins in a shipwreck in the

    Atlantic Ocean. For security purposes,

    they have withheld the

    location and the name of the ship, but

    most people believe it to be theMerchant Royal.

    Deep-sea explorers said

    they have hauled up what co

    richest sunken treasure ever

    17 tons of gold and silver c

    coins worth an estimated

    $500 million from a shipwr

    Atlantic Ocean.
