Warren Buffet - interesting aspects of his life
Warren Buffet - Second Richest Man in the World
There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffet, the second richest man who has donated $31 billion (85% of his fortune) to charity.
Here are some very interesting aspects of his life:
1) He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!
2) He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.
3) He still lives in the same small 3 bedroom house in mid-town Omaha, that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence.
4) He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.
5) He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company.
6) His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis.
7) He has given his CEO's only two rules. Rule number 1: Do not lose any of your share holder's money. Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.
8) He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch television.
9) Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.
10) Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk. 11) His advice to young people: Stay away from credit cards and invest in yourself.

Richard Gere Presents Kisses to Big Boss winner shilpa shetty
Richard Gere Presents Kisses to Big Boss winner shilpa shettyThousands of truckers cheered wildly as American actor Richard Gere kissed (Indian) actress Shilpa Shetty on her cheeks during an event to promote safe sex and raise AIDS awareness among a high-risk group,
“Hollywood star Gere had joined Shetty, the winner of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ reality TV show in Britain this year, in an anti-AIDS drive among truckers in India, the country with the world’s largest number of people living with HIV.
” ‘No condom, no sex,’ 58-year-old Gere shouted in Hindi to thousands of truck drivers who roared his words back in unison at a dusty fairground late on Sunday. They whooped with delight and whistled loudly as Gere swooped down on a visibly delighted Shetty to kiss her…
Gere, one of the most high-profile followers of the Dalai Lama, the exiled leader of the Tibetans, had drawn fresh attention to the plight of the fleeing Tibetan refugees recently when he released a report compiled by ICT, that also described how Chinese border patrols had fired on unarmed women and children last year, killing a 17-year-old nun and taking young children prisoner.

Yuri Gagarin - Astronaut - First Man in Space Anniversary
Yuri Gagarin, Astronaut
Born: 9 March 1934
Birthplace: Klushino, Russia
Died: 27 March 1968 (airplane crash)
Best Known As: The first human in space
12 April 1961, becoming the first man in space.
Born: 9 March 1934
Birthplace: Klushino, Russia
Died: 27 March 1968 (airplane crash)
Best Known As: The first human in space
12 April 1961, becoming the first man in space.
Yuri Gagarin flew into orbit aboard the Soviet spacecraft Vostok I on 12 April 1961, becoming the first man in space. He orbited the Earth once (his capsule was controlled from the ground) before returning for a safe landing in the Soviet Union roughly 90 minutes later. The 1961 flight made him an international hero; he was awarded the Order of Lenin and made a deputy of the Soviet parliament, the Supreme Soviet.
The flight was also considered a political victory for the Soviet Union; the United States didn't put a man into space until Alan Shepard's sub-orbital flight on 5 May 1961. Gagarin had graduated from the Soviet air force academy in 1957 and joined the cosmonaut corps in 1960. After his famous flight he remained in the cosmonaut corps and was killed while piloting an airplane on a training flight in 1968.
On his way to the launch pad in 1961, Gagarin stopped to empty his bladder. The act became a tradition with subsequent cosmonauts, who urinate on the back tire of the transport bus before their flights... Gagarin was preceded into space by a Russian dog, Laika.
Anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's first space flight
On April 12, 1961, Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin did something no human had ever done before: entered space and returned safely. Not only did this mean that the Soviet Union had won the race into space, but it also meant the Communist country had a lead in rocket technology and nuclear weaponry over the United States.

Amazing Body Painting in the Illusion of Colours
Amazing Body Painting in the Illusion of Colours
Body painting is a body art form and is considered to be one of ancient forms of art.
Unlike tattoos and other types of body art, body painting is the only temporary one. It is painted onto the human skin, lasting a few hours, days or in case of henna painting, up to several weeks.
Face painting
As a sub-type of this art, style called “face painting” appeared, mostly used in the contemporary fashion scene.
Bodies were always painted with various dyes from nature, and it exists in all tribe cultures. In its primitive version, it was an addition to ceremonies, and it is alive in Australia even today, as well as Island and parts of Africa.
Natural colours
The famous hana tattoo was practiced in India and the Middle East, especially during wedding ceremonies. This style became popular in the 1990s among western culture youth.
Tribes in North America traditionally used various magnolia products (achiote, anatto, huito) in order to ornament their faces and bodies.
Contemporary body painting
Actors and clowns throughout the world have painted themselves for centuries and are still doing it today, while a somewhat more humble type developed into today`s cosmetics for the role of everyday life.
It experienced a new “revival” in the western world in 1993 at Worlds Fair in Chicago when Max Factor painted a model with new make-up, intended for the Hollywood stars. The final result was their arrest with charges for disturbing public order and peace.
Today, body painting is somewhat different and it does not cause a law or media boom! It is used in films, advertisements, fashion, masquerades, theatre, photography… Not to forget that a milder, cosmetic type every person of this planet uses almost daily. As a great “Hello!”.

Jesus Drinking Coca-Cola on 7-km-from-Jerusalem
Jesus Drinking Coca-Cola? Not This Easter
An Italian film showing Jesus Christ drinking Coca-Cola sparked such strong protest from the soft-drinks giant that it blocked the film.
An Italian film showing Jesus Christ drinking Coca-Cola sparked such strong protest from the soft-drinks giant that it blocked the film.
An Italian film showing Jesus Christ drinking Coca-Cola sparked such strong protest from the soft-drinks giant that it blocked the film's Easter weekend premiere, the film makers said.
The film "7 km from Jerusalem" is about an Italian advertising executive who is soul searching after losing his job and marriage. He flies to Jerusalem, where he runs into Jesus.
According to local press reports, he offers the returned Christ a can of Coca-Cola and, seeing Jesus drinking the beverage, thinks: "What a testimonial!"
Apparently Coca-Cola disagreed.
"The multinational's Italian unit sent a legal letter forcing the elimination of the scene in which Jesus drinks the well-known beverage," the producers said on the film's Web site, http://blog.7kmdagerusalemme.it/dblog/.
Italian media reported that the company felt that the use of its brand was unacceptable and could get the company a bad image.
The director, Claudio Malaponti, said that if further talks were unsuccessful, the scene would indeed be cut.
"This recasting requires about 20 days and the hope is to be able to have in cinemas by the end of April," Malaponti was quoted as saying on the Web site.

It was not the first time that a controversial film about Jesus was meant to open just before the Easter holiday.
Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ", which depicted Christ's scourging and crucifixion in blood-dripping detail, opened across Europe just before Easter 2004.
Catholics in Italy largely applauded the film, whose scenes of Christ's final hours were filmed in the ancient Italian stone city of Matera.
Jewish leaders across Europe expressed concern that the film's unflattering depiction of Biblical-era Jews could boost an anti-Semitism.

The film "7 km from Jerusalem" is about an Italian advertising executive who is soul searching after losing his job and marriage. He flies to Jerusalem, where he runs into Jesus.
According to local press reports, he offers the returned Christ a can of Coca-Cola and, seeing Jesus drinking the beverage, thinks: "What a testimonial!"
Apparently Coca-Cola disagreed.
"The multinational's Italian unit sent a legal letter forcing the elimination of the scene in which Jesus drinks the well-known beverage," the producers said on the film's Web site, http://blog.7kmdagerusalemme.it/dblog/.
Italian media reported that the company felt that the use of its brand was unacceptable and could get the company a bad image.
The director, Claudio Malaponti, said that if further talks were unsuccessful, the scene would indeed be cut.

Superman's costume sold out on $115,000 at auction
A costume worn by actor Christopher Reeve in his first "Superman" film has sold for $115,000 at auction, the same price a "Winkie" costume from the 1939 movie "The Wizard of Oz" fetched.
The Hollywood memorabilia firm Profiles in History said it had sold more than $2 million worth of movie and television items in a Thursday auction.
The rare Winkie costume was used by an actor portraying a guard protecting the Wicked Witch of the West in the much beloved "Wizard of Oz." It was within its estimated price range of $100,000 to $120,000, but the Superman costume from the 1978 movie soared past its $50,000 to $70,000 estimated price.
By contrast, the costume worn by actor George Reeves in the 1950s television series "The Adventures of Superman" brought in $129,800 in 2003.
A Batsuit from 1995's "Batman Forever" brought $63,250 and an alien creature costume from 1979's "Alien" $126,500.

Voice of Company Famous Logo
Voice of Company Famous Logo - Every Logo Speaks something
Fadex Express
Yeah, I am talking about the 'arrow' that you can see between the E and the x in this logo. The arrow was introduced to underscore speed and precision, which are part of the positioning of the company.
Sun Microsystem
The SUN Microsystems logo is a wonderful example of symmetry and order. It was a brilliant observation that the letters u and n while arranged adjacent to each other look a lot like the letter S in a perpendicular direction. Spectacular.
Apple Curry
The above logo is for an editing studio. I like the way the logo attempts to convey what they do.
Readers Digest - Families and Marrige
The above are two magazines from the Readers Digest stable. Again, the attempt to communicate what it is about quite figuratively through the logo catches my attention.
Rachel Hair Stylist
I liked this logo of a hair stylist for the cheeky humour it brings to the (dressing) table
Cluenatic puzzle game
This was a logo created for a puzzle game called Cluenatic. This game involves unravelling four clues. The logo has the letters C, L, U and E arranged as a maze. and from a distance, the logo looks like a key.
Eight
This logo is too good. For the name Eight, they have used a font in which each letter is a minor adaptation of the number 8.
Eighty-20
Eighty-20 is a small consulting company which does sophisticated financial modeling, as well as some solid database work. All their work is highly quantitative and relies on some serious computational power, and the logo is meant to convey it. People first guess that 20% of the squares are darkened, but that turns out to be false after counting them. The trick is to view the dark squares as 1's and the light squares as 0's. Then the top line reads 1010000 and the bottom line reads 0010100, which represent 80 and 20 in binary. Kinda like the surreal green screen of The Matrix, they want us to read stuff in binary
IBM - Event Logo
This was a logo designed in-house for some internal event at IBM. I like that they are quite relaxed about the logo, unlike certain other companies who do not like the logo to be tampered with in any way even for internal promotions.
Amazon.com
You might think the arrow does nothing here. But it says that amazon has everything from a to z and it also represents the smile brought to the customer's face. Wow, that is quite deep.

Brighter side to India exit from the Cricket World Cup 2007.
There's a brighter side to India's exit from the World Cup.
Something that can cheer up disappointed fans and angry advertisers. Sri Lanka has done a great favour to Indian economy by ousting the cricket team from the World Cup. There are about 80 million cable and satellite viewing homes in India.
According to TAM ratings, the average viewership of all World Cup matches held till now stands at about 3%, with India vs Bangladesh touching a high of 7.25%. To reach the finals, India would have played at least seven more matches.
Considering a TV Rating of 7.25%, at least 5.8 million people would have watched the match. This would have resulted in a productivity loss of 371.2 million man hours (5.8 million x 8 hours x 8 matches), apart from stress faced by mothers during exams.
About 3% of 81 million TV viewers (2.4 million) were ardent cricket fans and would have sat through all eight hours in the remaining 28 matches. Thus overall, Indian team's ouster would result in a productivity gain of 481 million man hours of work ( 28x2.4x8 man hours), if put to use.
The Sri Lankans have given a boost to the Indian economy by saving 54,902 man years of work (one year = 8,761 hours). Indians can build seven phases of the Golden Quadrilateral connecting Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai spread over 5,846 kilometres all over again, with this time saved.
A daily wage skilled labourer in Delhi earns Rs 17 per hour. If put to productive use, the 481 million man hours can produce Rs 817 crore of GDP, which is 63% more than BCCI's annual revenues of Rs 500 crore, last year. It's 401% more than the Rs 163 crore losses, corporate India has predicted to incur due India's ouster.
The state electricity boards are also thanking Sri Lanka for the great favour. A TV consumes 45 watts per hour. Assuming a viewer will now switch off his TV by 12 midnight, it will save Rs 135 watts at least per viewer (not considering the electricity consumed by other appliances running simultaneously.)
This will save the electricity boards 324 million watts of electricity ( 3.24 lakh kilowatts) in just 28 days. According to estimates, SEB losses in India will touch Rs 1 lakh crore by 2008.
If disappointed viewers completely switch off their TVs for eight hours, it will save the government at least 8,64,000 kilowatts, along with many more lives รข€” at least three Indian citizens have been reported to die due to cardiac arrest or suicide after India's defeat at the hands of Sri Lanka.

Mobile Phone ICE numbers - Amazing things don't forgotte
For this reason, we must have one or more telephone numbers stored under the name ICE (In case of Emergency) in our mobile phones.
Recently, the concept of "ICE" is catching up quickly. It is simple, an important method of contact during emergency situations.
As cell phones are carried by majority of the population, just store the number of a contact person or person who should be contacted at during emergency as ICE" (meaning In Case of Emergency).
The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when they went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know which number to call.
He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose.
Following a disaster in London , the East Anglican Ambulance Service has launched a national "In case of Emergency (ICE)" campaign.
In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital staff would then be able to quickly contact your next of kin, by simply dialing the number stored as "ICE".
Please forward this. It won't take too many "forwards" before every body will know about this.
It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest.
For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc. A great idea that will make a difference!
Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our mobile phones today! Please forward to your all nearest and dearest
