Dalals Using High Tech Means to Steal Tatkal Tickets From IRCTC

Ever wondered when you stand for hours since morning in the queue for the railway tickets and still it runs out from your expectations. This' indeed not a normal case where in the Tatkal Quota Bookings, seats get filled within seconds even for the next 2-3 days. Finally, it has been found out. There are some culprits or better be called as Dalals who are using high tech means and have created a software program to snatch Tatkal tickets from the Indian Railways' only official website www.irctc.co.in. What they do is, they prepare and make ready all the details required for the Ticket form i.e. Name, Age, Gender, etc one hours prior to the Tatkal booking time and make the details get filled in the Reservation form using some auto-filler software. When the booking time starts i.e. from 8:00 hrs, they make the software activated and it take just few seconds to submit the form and get the tickets confirmed for them. The major software used for this hacking purpose is 'SoftVally Travel Pvt Ltd'.

Judgment Day: Harold Camping claims May 21, 2011 To be The Beginning Of End Of The World

Will May 21, 2011 Be The End Of The World?




Well, according to a small Christian movement, yes, it will.
The movement, led by Harold Egbert Camping who runs the evangelical station Family Radio, is predicting that mid-May of this year will bring about Judgment Day or the second coming of Christ - the time when, according to some, the earth will be destroyed due to mankind's sins and all Christian believers will ascend to heaven.
Apparently Camping believes this will occur on May 21st because of a mathematical system he created to interpret prophecies hidden in the Bible. He claims that Jesus will return one year from today.

Harold Egbert Camping

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, former civil engineer Harold Camping is one of the leading voices of the doomsday movement. After doing some number crunching based on biblical figures, Camping has apparently come up with a new and improved expiration date for the human race: May 21, 2011. Camping previously thought that the world was going to end on September 6, 1994, but discovered that he had made a mathematical error.

Harold Camping is so obsessed with his calculations, that in his book Time Has an End: A Biblical History of the World 11,013 B.C. - 2011 A.D, he even has gone so far as to claim that the creation was 13,022 years ago and that the church age ended in 1988:

    Creation of Adam...11,013 B.C. (p. 101).
    A.D. 1988 was exactly 13,000 years after the creation (p. 116).
    The end of the church age which coincides with the beginning of the Great Tribulation which immediately precedes the end of the world is awful, traumatic, disastrous to the divine institution of local congregations.  Furthermore, it is worldwide in scope (p. 356).
    ...the duration of time encompassed by the entire Great Tribulation appears to be 23 years (p. 400).
    Since the church age identifies with Pentecost at which time the first fruits were brought in we could expect the end of the church age to be the day before Pentecost in 1988 (p.410).
    (Camping H. Time Has an End: A Biblical History of the World 11,013 B.C. - 2011 A.D. Vantage Press, 2005)

Camping's mathematical calculations are based on some numbers concerned with some years mentioned in Bible which he relates to, but actually which had proved to be a real absurd and it also has been proved that Bible haven't mentioned any dates for the end of the world. No doubt, Harold Camping has incorrect dates and lengths of time for Biblical events and Bible clearly disagrees with Harold Camping's dates which he correlated with the dates of Floods happened in the past.
Still, according to Rapture doctrine, most people will barely notice that Judgment Day has gone by. That's because May 21 is, according to Camping, the day when only the righteous will be saved and taken to heaven. Everyone else, on the other hand, will have to remain on Earth for a period of torment. The real fire and brimstone show, Camping further predicts, will get under way in October 21, 2011.

Giving a proof to the presence of exceptional intelligence in India, 10 year old girl Sushma Verma has been permitted to pursue graduation in science stream from CMS degree college Lucknow, affiliated to Lucknow University.

Her admission to B Sc —with zoology, botany and chemistry as her subjects —has now been confirmed, with Lucknow University giving her the green signal to pursue as graduate degree. “…Now it’s time to concentrate hard and complete my graduation with good marks,” said a delighted Sushma.

Sushma Verma, who cleared her intermediate examination in compartment this year, also holds the record of clearing high school board examinations at the age of seven.
Sushma's father Tej Bahadur is a daily wage worker and mother Chayya Devi an illiterate.
A high level of intelligence seems to run in her family. Sushma’s brother Shailendra became the country’s youngest computer science graduate in 2007 when he passed the Bachelor of Computer Applications degree from Lucknow University with 75% marks at the age of 14.
Sushma now has an opportunity to surpass her brother by passing the 2013 examinations at 13.

Facebook upgrades to the new profile look

Facebook on Sunday announced a new profile page that allows you to highlight friends, show off photos better and list more details about yourself, including work projects.

Whenever Facebook tweaks a profile page, there’s a fair bit of hubbub. In fact, every little pixel on the page gets analyzed (and overanalyzed). This time, Facebook appears to be going for the limelight with a Mark Zuckerberg appearance on 60 Minutes.

In a blog post, Facebook outlined the changes. In a nutshell, the new profile page does the following:

• Emphasizes pictures with a row of tagged pictures.
• Allows you to highlight friends important to you and feature lists of pals.
• Highlight more detailed information about yourself in a profile.

That latter point is most notable—at least from a business perspective. Check out what Facebook decided to highlight:

The profile also gives you new ways to share your interests and activities. You can list the projects you worked on at your job, classes you took in school, your favorite musicians and sports teams, and more…

In other words, Facebook will at least allow you the option to use it more as an online resume. Funny that’s exactly how LinkedIn is used. If you can list your jobs, key projects and work connections on Facebook does that minimize the importance of LinkedIn? There’s no ready answer to that query, but you have to wonder.

What your Facebook resume may look like:

And the LinkedIn version:

All the parts are there for Facebook to take on LinkedIn. Some folks will choose to highlight their dogs, passions etc. But a big enough chunk of Facebook’s 500 million users will use the social site as a work and recruiting tool. Facebook plans to roll the new profile pages out gradually and everyone should have it by early 2011. You can upgrade by going to www.facebook.com/about/profile
