10 Strangest Defense Mechanisms In Nature
We are all aware of the fight or flight principle in biology, where an animal responds to a threat by facing the enemy or fleeing from it. There are some fascinating ways that nature deals with these threats. This list will show the ten animals (plus a bonus entry) with the weirdest defense mechanisms.

Flying Fish
There are many creatures with the power of flight but this feature is generally not attributed to fish. Flying fish are able to jump out of the water and fly or glide for long distances. This is used as a defense mechanism to escape from predators.
The flying fish has a streamlined, torpedo-shaped body which helps it gain enough energy to break through the surface of the water. To get out of the water, the fish swims at speeds of up to 37 miles (60 km) per hour. The fish’s pectoral fins have evolved into large wings which allows the fish to become airborne. Once it is out of the water, it can fly for up to 656 feet (200 meters), using its tail fin as a sort of propeller. In 2008 in Japan, a flying fish was observed gliding for a record 45 seconds.
भगवान शिव के पहले पूजा जाता है रावण...
उदयपुर.यह स्थान है भगवान कमलनाथ महादेव, जो झीलों की नगरी उदयपुर से 80 किमी दूर झाड़ोल तहसील में स्थित है।
कहा जाता है, इस मंदिर की स्थापना स्वयं लंकापति रावण ने की थी, यह वह स्थान है जहां भगवान शिव ने रावण की नाभि में अमृत कुण्ड स्थापित किया था।
साथ ही ऐसी मान्यता है कि यदि भगवान शिव की पूजा से पहले रावण की पूजा ना की जाये तो सारा कर्म काण्ड व्यर्थ जाता है अर्थात पूजा का कोई फल नहीं मिलता।

Election 2013: How the Pope is Decided
With the recent surprising resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, a whole new election process must take place to fill his shoes.
Benedict XVI’s reign has had many ups and downs. Considered a champion of traditional Christian values, he has stuck to his guns and faced many problems of the church head on like the child abuse scandal. Although, his past has had trouble escaping him. A mandatory member of Hitler’s Youth and later a german soldier during the end of the second world war, Benedict has had his fair share of hurdles in the lime light.
It has been almost 600 years since the last pope resigned. Whether it was for health reasons as stated or hidden inner-church drama doesn’t matter, the real concern should be in who will replace him. Will another strict traditional catholic replace him or are they considering a younger, more open-minded leader?

Religious Thought 156
Self-important, obstinate, swept away by the pride of wealth, they ostentatiously perform sacrifices without any regard for their purpose. Egotistical, violent, arrogant, lustful, angry, envious of everyone, they abuse my presence within their own bodies and in the bodies of others.

Living in forests far away from other people is not true seclusion. True seclusion is to be free from the power of likes and dislikes. It is also to be free from the mental attitude that one must be special because one is treading the path. Those who remove themselves to far forests often feel superior to others. They think that because they are solitary they are being guided in a special way and that those who live an ordinary life can never have that experience. But that is conceit and is not help to others. The true recluse is one who is available to others, helping them with affectionate speech and personal example.

Wat Rong Khun : A Buddhist Temple
Wat Rong Khun, more well-known among foreigners as the White Temple, is an unconventional Buddhist temple in Chiang Rai, Thailand. Designed in 1997 by noted Thai painter-turned-architect Chalermchai Kositpipat, this magnificent temple is a bizarre blend of traditional Thai architecture and the surreal. The main building is painted white to symbolise Buddha’s purity, and is covered in mosaics of mirrors, sparkling in the sun. All around the complex are intricate sculptures of demons, skulls, severed heads handing from trees and other bizarre objects.
To reach the temple you have to walk over a bridge over a moat filled with innumerable sculptures of out-reaching arms, apparently symbolizing desire. Once inside, you will be greeted not by traditional Buddha life scenarios but by contemporary scenes and icons of popular culture. Instead of paintings of heroes fighting demons, the artist decided to take contemporary manifestations of good and evil and put it into a Buddhist context. Murals of Batman, Superman, Predator and even Keanu Reeves as Neo from The Matrix are seen in the interior. In one unfinished wall dominates image of a plane smashing into the Twin Towers. In another wall there are paintings of spaceships and a scene depicting a cataclysmic event annihilating planet earth.

कहाँ हैं भगवान ?
एक आदमी हमेशा की तरह अपने नाई की दूकान पर बाल कटवाने गया.
बाल कटाते वक़्त अक्सर देश-दुनिया की बातें हुआ करती थीं….
आज भी वे सिनेमा, राजनीति और खेल जगत , इत्यादि के बारे में बातकर रहे थे
कि अचानक भगवान् के अस्तित्व को लेकर बात होने लगी.
नाई ने कहा , “ देखिये भैया ,आपकी तरह मैं भगवान् के अस्तित्व में यकीन नहीं रखता.”
“तुम ऐसा क्यों कहते हो?”,आदमी ने पूछा .
“अरे , ये समझना बहुत आसान है ,
बस गली में जाइए और आप समझ जायेंगे कि भगवान् नहीं है.
आप ही बताइए कि अगर भगवान् होते तो क्या इतने लोग बीमार होते?
इतने बच्चे अनाथ होते ?
अगर भगवान् होते तो किसी को कोई दर्द कोई तकलीफ नहींहोती
”,नाई ने बोलना जारी रखा ,
“मैं ऐसे भगवान के बारे में नहीं सोच सकता जो इन सब चीजों को होने दे .आप
ही बताइए कहाँ है भगवान?”
आदमी एक क्षण के लिए रुका , कुछ सोचा, पर बहस बढे ना इसलिए चुप ही रहा .
नाई ने अपना काम ख़तम किया
और आदमी कुछ सोचते हुए दुकानसे बाहर निकला और कुछ दूर जाकर खड़ा हो गया. .
कुछ देर इंतज़ार करने के बादउसे एक लम्बी दाढ़ी – मूछ वाला अधेड़
व्यक्ति उस तरफ आता दिखाई पड़ा,
उसे देखकर लगता था मानो वो कितने दिनोंसे नहाया-धोया ना हो.
आदमी तुरंत नाई कि दुकान में वापस घुस गया और बोला ,
“ जानतेहो इस दुनिया में नाई नहीं होते!”
“भला कैसे नहीं होते हैं?, नाई ने सवाल किया, “ मैं साक्षात तुम्हारे सामने हूँ!! ”
“नहीं ” आदमी ने कहा, “ वो नहीं होते हैं, वरना किसी की भी लम्बी दाढ़ी –
मूछ नहीं होती पर वो देखो सामने उस आदमी की कितनी लम्बी दाढ़ी-मूछ है !!”
“अरे नहीं भाई साहब नाई होते हैं लेकिन बहुत से लोग हमारे पास नहीं आते .” नाई बोला
“बिलकुल सही ” आदमी ने नाई को रोकते हुए कहा ,”यही तो बात है , भगवान भी
होते हैं पर लोग उनके पास नहीं जाते और ना ही उन्हें खोजने का प्रयास
करते हैं, इसीलिए दुनिया में इतना दुःख-दर्द है.”

Religious Thought 151
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in the future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.

When a person has lived properly and acted generously, he grasps the way things are. He is not dependent on attachments; he is free from anger and aversions; what he does becomes perfect action. The pureness of perfectly balanced action based on seeing the way things are--this is freedom and the ending of ignorance.

10 Lesser-Known Facts About Time Zones
Countries are many and varied but one thing they all have in common is their position in a time zone. Without these invisible lines of longitude the world would be a very different place. Your time zone largely dictates when you get up, go to bed, eat and watch your favorite TV show. But time zones contain many inconsistencies as you’re about to find out.
10
GMT and UTC
Greenwich Mean Time (sometimes called Greenwich Meridian Time) is the standardized starting point for every time zone in the world. It is measured from the Greenwich Meridian Line at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England, and maintains a position of Longitude 0,0,0 and Latitude 51, 28, 38N (North of the Equator). GMT ran from noon to noon the following day but since 1925 the name GMT was replaced with UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) and a day now runs from midnight to midnight. UTC is based on atomic time and is far more accurate than the reliance of solar time from a particular spot on the Earth’s surface. The Earth’s crust is moving and there are variances in the Chandler Wobble of the poles meaning that time needs to be helped—so to speak—to keep it correct. Leap seconds are added to UTC to keep it within 0.9 seconds of astronomical time. On the rarest of occasion a leap second may be removed. UTC became the official standard for world time on January 1st 1972. GMT is the more common term still in use, though.
9
Daylight Saving Time
Daylight saving is the process whereby a clock is wound forward an hour (as in the Spring) to make the most of the changing seasons and the amount of available sunlight. As with everything there are exceptions to this rule. Lord Howe island in Australia only puts its clocks forward by 30 minutes instead of the full hour thereby making them GMT/UTC +11 in the Summer and GMT/UTC +10:30 during the winter. Where there is less variance in the amount of daylight there is no perceived need to follow daylight saving as in Hawaii and many parts of Africa. Elsewhere, Arizona observes daylight saving whilst the local Navajo Nation within their borders does not.
8
Time Zone Boundaries
Instead of the nice, neat lines of longitude running top to bottom around the globe there are many irregularities with a variety of reasons for the variances. An example is where a time zone border follows the border of a country. This occurs around the borders of China and India, both of which have a single time zone across the entire country.
7
Horizontal Time Zones
Time zones are based on the vertical axis and longitude since our movement around the Sun means it appears East to West and not North to South. Not everyone wants to follow this natural phenomenon, however. In the business district of Australian city Adelaide on the continents’ South Coast, they should, strictly speaking, be one hour behind their bigger counterpart Sydney. Thus following the established vertical time zone. But for purely commercial reasons they have agreed to observe only a 30 minute difference to Sydney to stay competitive. On top of this, some areas of Australia do not recognize the country’s daylight saving measures giving rise to both vertical and horizontal time zones within their border.
6
World Without Time Zones
Before the standardization of GMT, time was kept, not surprisingly, by looking up into the sky or looking on the ground. Techniques for establishing time varied such as viewing the sun’s zenith at noon or by the shadow cast on a focal point on the ground—the sun dial. Where clocks were available, they were set according to dusk and dawn in that region therefore time varied greatly. This was not a great problem because the limitations of land travel meant time differences had little meaning between places. The advent of better communications and improvements in transport made the need for the standardization of time a precedent.
5
The Sun Is At Its Highest Point At Noon
Mostly correct. Except in China for one. There’s approximately 240km between China’s East and West borders but they have adopted only one time zone across the entire country. This ultimately means the Sun will be at its highest point at 3pm in the far West of the country and at 11am in the far East. The origins of this come from the Communist Party of China who took up power after the Chinese Civil War ended in 1949. Prior to this China had 5 time zones from border to border. Kunlun, Sinkiang-Tibet, Kansu-Szechuan, Chungyuan and Changpai time zones. A common time zone was seen as a way of unifying the country and its people. In practice this causes some practical problems for people going about their daily lives. As a way of saving daylight, the people of Xingjiang follow urimqi time and start work four hours later than everyone else. As a result of following the single time zone some places only experience sun up at 10am!
4
The Further East The Later It Gets
Correct! Most of the time . . . . Each time zone generally increases their clock by one hour from the time zone behind them. Exceptions to this rule exist. For example Japan. They are two hours behind Vladivostock which is to the West of Japan. So if you travel East from China to Vladivostok you would put your watches forward as expected. If you then travelled East again from Vladisvostok to Japan you would have to put your watches back. Any further journey East means your watch goes forward again.
3
International Space Station
You’re at a low Earth orbit with an approximate altitude of 350km. You’re going to need your own sexy time zone. “Captain’s Log. Star Date 1722.7.” Sadly not. Instead of an astronaut logging important data against a ‘Star Date’ ala Captain Kirk, the ISS uses UTC/GMT. So you’re more likely to hear him/her say “Tuesday, 6:45am. Lumpy porridge, again.”
2
International Meridian Conference
This conference held in Washington back in 1884 decided, via 25 voting countries, that GMT was to be adopted as the standard for World time. The voting ended up being 22 for and 1 against with two abstentions. The Dominican Republic (known then as San Domingo) voted against the final result. The French and Brazilians had concerns and decided to abstain. France adopted the Paris meridian and continued to use this up until 1911 for timekeeping and navigation until 1914. The Brazil contingent argued that a neutral meridian which crossed neither USA nor Great Britain was ultimately preferable. The poor Brazilians left for home with everyone else shouting after them—“There’s always one.”
1
One World Time Zone
Wouldn’t it be easier to have just one time zone? China may agree. Isn’t the modern world all about streamlining and making things simpler? The single currency? The universal language? A One World Order . . . . No need to reset our watches when we land and no more jet lag. So here’s why it’s more streamlined to have several time zones. The Earth rotates 15 degrees every hour and for this reason the World is divided up into 24 x 15 degree zones making a nice 360 degree globe. Each zone sets their clocks one hour further than the preceding zone (there are exceptions—See Japan). This equates to the Sun being at its highest point in the sky, in nearly every country, at noon. We know that 9am, in any country, is liable to be light and that 10pm, in any country, is liable to be dark. You could say that you can set your watches by it. Notable exceptions to this are northern Scandinavian countries where they have daylight for 6 months and night for another 6 months.
+
Smallest Time Zone
The small island of Markets Fyr in the Baltic Sea is only 300 metres by 80 metres at its furthest points. The countries of Sweden and Finland own this island, half and half. The Swedish side keeps to Swedish time and the Finnish side to Finnish time. Islands are usually prime candidates for irregular shaped time zones so that they are in the same one. Could this be the smallest example of two time zones?

1000 साल पुराने इस किले से जुड़ी है रहस्य और रोमांच की अजब कहानी
इंदौर। ग्यारहवीं शताब्दी में मालवा पर शासन करने वाले परमार राजाओं ने मंदसौर से 165 और भानपुरा से 26 किमी दूर एक अद्भुत किले का निर्माण कराया था। आज यह किला खंडहर में तब्दील हो चुका है, लेकिन इसकी बनावट और शिल्पकारी को देख वैभव के चरमकाल में इसकी बुलंदियों का अंदाजा सहज ही लगाया जा सकता है। किले में गुप्त और परमार काल की चौथी और पांचवीं शताब्दी की मूर्तियां जहां इसके अद्वितीय मूर्तिशिल्प को दर्शाती हैं, वहीं किले में बने विभिन्न भवन इसके सामरिक महत्व को भी प्रदर्शित करते हैं। इस सबसे बढ़कर किले से रहस्य और रोमांच की एक अलहदा कहानी भी जुड़ी है।
कुत्तों के नाम कर दी थी करोड़ों की जमीन
चंडीगढ़। भगवान नामदेव की तरह गांव खानपुर के लगभग 800 परिवारों को कुत्तों में न सिर्फ भगवान नजर आता है, बल्कि वे तब तक खाना नहीं खाते जब तक कुत्ते भोग न लगा लें। पटियाला-चंडीगढ़ रोड पर स्थित गांव खानपुर में दशकों से कुत्तों की पूजा की जाती है। ये कोई आम कुत्ते नहीं, बल्कि करोड़ों की जायदाद के मालिक हैं। यहां कुत्तों का डेरा बना हुआ है जिसकी कई लगभग 160 बीघा जमीन यहां रहने वाले कुत्तों के नाम पर है।यह जमीन राजस्व रिकार्ड में आज भी कुत्तों के नाम ही है इस जमीन का यदि आज भी पता करना हो तो यह पटवारी के रजिस्टर में दर्ज है
आज भी शांत है इस जगह नदी का बहाव
चंडीगढ़। चिनाब नदी की दास्तां सुनकर आपको यह एहसास हो जाएगा की महाभारत के भीम का गुस्सा कितना भयानक था। कहते हैं चिनाब नदी का बहाव देश के दूसरे किसी भी नदी से कहीं ज्यादा तेज है। चिनाब नदी की पहचान ही तेज बहाव वाली नदी के तौर पर की जाती है। जम्मू के अखनूर में चिनाब नदी के किनारे एक किला है। वैसे तो किला अब अपनी पहचान खो रहा है। लेकिन किले के अंदर एक दस्तावेज है।
उस दस्तावेज में एक कहानी है। पौराणिक कथाओं के अनुसार एक ऐसी कहानी जो पांच हजार साल पहले गुजरे एक महापुरुष को फिर से जिंदा करती है। नदी के आसपास एक गुफा है। गुफा में एक छोटे बच्चे के पैर के निशान हैं। एक गाय के पैरों के निशान हैं। उस पैर के निशान के रहस्य भी पांडवों के अज्ञातवास से शुरु होती है।
'सोने' के महल में रहता था ये धर्मगुरु
दुनिया के चंद सबसे महंगे धर्मगुरु निवासों में दलाई लामा का घर पोटला पैलेस भी है। करीब 160 करोड़ रुपये के इस पैलेस में धर्मगुरु दलाई लामा हर साल सर्दियों के मौसम में रहते थे। वहीं, गर्मी के मौसम में वो नोरबुलिंग्का पैलेस में शिफ्ट हो जाते थे। वर्तमान में इस पैलेस की कीमत कई अरब रुपये आंकी जा रही है। ल्हासा में मौजूद इन दोनों ही घरों के बीच करीब 3 किलोमीटर की दूरी है।
आपको यह जान कर आश्चर्य होगा कि तिब्बत की राजधानी ल्हासा में दलाई लामा अपना शानदार महल छोड़कर भारत में शरण ली थी। ल्हासा में पोटला पैलेस को 1994 में यूनेस्को ने वर्ल्ड हैरिटेज घोषित किया था। 14वें दलाई लामा ने भारत के पूर्वी छोर धर्मशाला को ही अपना आसरा बनाया। दुनियाभर से लाखों श्रद्धालु उनके दर्शन करने भारत चले आते हैं।
करीब 400 मीटर पूर्व-पश्चिम और 350 मीटर उत्तर-दक्षिण में फैले इस पैलेस की हर दीवार करीब 3 मीटर मोटी है, वहीं गहराई में इसकी मोटाई 5 मीटर है। इसके चलते यह पैलेस पूरी तरह से भूकंप-रोधी है। पैलेस की 13 मंजिली बिल्डिंग में 1000 से ज्यादा कमरे, 10000 श्राइन और करीब 2 लाख स्टैच्यू हैं। पोटला पैलेस तीन तरफ से पहाड़ियों से घिरा हुआ है। इसके चलते यह सबसे सुरक्षित धर्मगुरु निवास स्थल भी माना जाता है। सोने के रंग वाला यह महल दूर से देखने पर किसी भी सोने के महल से कम नहीं लगता है। पहनावे के मामले में दलाईलामा अपने महल में सिर्फ बिना सिले कपड़े ही पहने हुए दिखाई देते हैं।
