The Attack of The Sea



Global warming has started at an alarming rate. What’s worse is that inspite of this global uproar of minimising pollutants and their emission in the atmosphere, other aspects such as deforestation and killing of animals that play an important role in the nature cycle are also becoming extinct. 

The infographic above explains a much grave situation due to global warming- rising temperature and sea level rise. Rising water level of the seas and oceans is like a bomb ticker that when explodes will engulf most of the ground level area of earth. Many cities would submerge beneath water as ice sheets continue melting leaving less and less space for humans and animals above earth to survive.

“Old-Made” Soup by Chinese Recipe Since 2, 400 Years, Discovered


After finding a great ancient treasure of Royal Chinese coins, there has again been an interesting excavation of something ancient yet ‘once edible’ Chinese piece. As quoted by BBC, Chinese archaeologists have recently unearthed a 2, 400-year old, sealed bronze utensil with a green gooey liquid believed to be “soup with bones immersed into it”.  They say that tests are going to be confirmed for identifying the actual constituents of the ancient recipe along with an odorless liquid found in another vessel, believed to be wine.

The state media report too, said that the site, which is an old royal tomb was excavated in order to make space for the extension of the local airport in Shaanxi province. 
After the discovery, Liu Daiyun of the Shaanxi Provincial Institute of Archaeology said, “It's the first discovery of bone soup in Chinese archaeological history. The discovery will play an important role in studying the eating habits and culture of the Warring States Period (475-221BC).”
Adding an interest element to the news, the excavation site is in the proximities of Xian. Xian served to be the capital of ancient China 1, 100 years back. Moreover, Emperor Qin’s mausoleum and his famous terracotta warriors make the closest spot from the fresh activity centre. 

Emperor Qin is said to be the first Chinese Emperor who was responsible for the unification of China in 221 BC. His tenure extended till 210 BC. As soon as he ascended the throne, he spent decades in building an enormous underground tomb for himself. Still the entire site has not yet been dug fearing it might damage the rest of the relics that it contains. 

The archaeologists also suggest of the fact that maybe the emperor is also buried with his soldiers in the tomb.

Traces of an Inspired "Issa", Jesus Found Recorded in Indian Himalayas


This may be shockingly distrustful but it does sounds true. This gentleman did travel altogther to the Indian Himalayan range that also consists one of the highest mountain peaks in the world, named Annapurna.
He was there in the Tibetan territory only to find the truth that the rest of the world is unknown about. The fact that could Jesus be inspired by Buddhism in India and be the awakening behind Christianity!

Moreover, strengthening the fact are the ancient Tibetan scrolls that tell about the King of Kashmir welcoming a fair man with fair hair, named "Issa", claiming to be the son of a virgin!
The clip above is a try to reveal a little about Jesus Christ during the age of 12 - 30. He may be in India only to be influenced by Lord Buddha and his teachings and imbibe them in Christianity.
An enlightening one!!

French Vacationers Win as US Most Unlikely to Holiday



According to a reliable “Vacation” survey by GfK Association of the United States of America in spring 2010, more than half of the American population of employees fails to avail all of their vacations due to specified reasons. They even lag behind Japanese holidaymakers who came up with the theory of Karoshi-death due to overwork. Statistics show that thirty percent of so-called American jobholders use fewer days as away from work than the time alloted them to enjoy with their family and friends. Moreover, twenty percent are able to steal barely a day or two rather than a week or more. Giving a more miserable picture of corporate holidaying, forty- two percent successfully “cancel” their previously made holiday plans. 

Looking at such sad numbers of US workaholics by AAA and Money Magazine, seems that the biggest factor that hinders workers to go on vacations with a bang is the money factor. The country still recovering from the bog of the recent economic slump is still toiling people onto save people more and more to strengthen their financial muscle. 

Still, Visa’s Annual Travel Survey shows that –

·         Twenty five percent US tourists would use $1, 000 > $2,500.

·         Twenty percent would shell out $500 - $1, 000.

·         Ten percent would spend stuck between $2, 500 - $5, 000

·         Fifteen percent just plan to stay at their homes and not go anywhere. 

Nevertheless, the rainbow of holidaying is much brighter in countries like Argentina, Britain and Hungary. French ‘vacanciers’ (French for vacationers) are the most likely ones to be out of their homes whenever they get a chance to have some leisure time away from job. The countries where people are to use all of their fixed leave are as follows :

France: 89%

Argentina: 80%

Hungary: 78%

Britain: 77%

Spain: 77%
