The world will end in 2012, say experts

Several experts from across the globe are predicting that the earth is likely to end by the year 2012. The reason could be a human effect or natural disaster. From Chinese theories to scientific predictions the most likely date is the year 2012

SCIENTIFIC EXPERTS from around the world are predicting that five years from now, all life on Earth could well come to an end. Some are saying it’ll be humans that would set it off. Others believe that a natural phenomenon will be the cause. And the religious folks are saying it’ll be God himself who would press the stop button. The following are some likely arguments as to why the world would end by the year 2012.

Reason one: Mayan calendar

The first to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans, a bloodthirsty race that were good at two things — building highly accurate astrological equipment out of stone and sacrificing virgins.

Thousands of years ago they managed to calculate the length of the lunar moon as 329.53020 days, only 34 seconds out. The Mayan calendar predicts that the earth will end on December 21, 2012. Given that they were pretty close to the mark with the lunar cycle, it’s likely they’ve got the end of the world right as well.

Reason two: Sun storms

Solar experts from around the world monitoring the sun have made a startling discovery. Our sun is in a bit of strife. The energy output of the sun is, like most things in nature, cyclic and it’s supposed to be in the middle of a period of relative stability. However, recent solar storms have been bombarding the earth with lot of radiation energy. It’s been knocking out power grids and destroying satellites. This activity is predicted to get worse and calculations suggest it’ll reach its deadly peak sometime in 2012.

Reason three: The atom smasher

Scientists in Europe have been building the world’s largest particle accelerator. Basically, its a 27 km tunnel designed to smash atoms together to find out what makes the universe tick. However, the mega-gadget has caused serious concern, with some scientists suggesting that it’s properly even a bad idea to turn it on in the first place. They’re predicting all manner of deadly results, including mini black holes. So when this machine is fired up for its first serious experiment in 2012, the world could be crushed into a super-dense blob the size of a basketball.

Reason four: The Bible says it

If having scientists warning us about the end of the world isn’t bad enough, religious folks are getting in on the act as well. Interpretations of the Christian Bible reveal that the date for Armageddon, the final battle between good an evil, has been set for 2012. The I Ching, also known as the Chinese Book of Changes, says the same thing, as do various sections of the Hindu teachings.

Reason five: Super volcano

Yellowstone National Park in United States is famous for its thermal springs and old faithful geyser. The reason for this is simple — it’s sitting on top of the world’s biggest volcano and geological experts are beginning to get nervous sweats. The Yellowstone volcano has a pattern of erupting every 650,000 years or so, and we’re many years overdue for an explosion that will fill the atmosphere with ash, blocking the sun and plunging the earth into a frozen winter that could last up to 15,000 years. The pressure under the Yellowstone is building steadily, and geologists have set 2012 as a likely date for the big bang.

Reason six: The physicists

This one’s case of bog — simple maths mathematics. Physicists at Berkely University have been crunching the numbers. They’ve determined that the earth is well overdue for a major catastrophic event. Even worse, they’re claiming that their calculations prove that we’re all going to die, very soon. They are also saying that their prediction comes with a certainty of 99 per cent; and 2012 just happens to be the best guess as to when it occurs.

Reason seven: Earth’s magnetic field

We all know the Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that shields us from most of the sun’s radiation. What you might not know is that the magnetic poles we call North and South have a nasty habit of swapping places every 750,000 years or so — and right now we’re about 30,000 years overdue. Scientists have noted that the poles are drifting apart roughly 20-30 kms each year, much faster than ever before, which points to a pole-shift being right around the corner. While the pole shift is under way, the magnetic field is disrupted and will eventually disappear, sometimes for up to 100 years. The result is enough UV outdoors to crisp your skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.

Review – Aadhavan

Star-casts: Surya, Nayanthara, Murali, Rahul Dev, Saroja Devi, Vadivelu, Shiyaji Shinde and others.
Banner: Red Giant Movies
Production: Udayanidhi Stalin
Direction: K.S. Ravikumar
Music: Harris Jayaraj

Can you label ‘Aadhavan’ as ‘Red Signal’ in Surya’s career? Not definitely, but towards some extent. The actor kept us intact with his exceptional endeavors all throughout his career by working with great directors. But this time, he fails to deliver a right film from his favorite filmmaker K.S. Ravikumar.

A very old story, which we would’ve seen more than 100 times over the screens – A contract killer assigned to bump off a magistrate yet to reveal the list of baddies involved in conniving acts of illegally transplanting the organs of poor and underprivileged children. But does he actually carry on the task or turn against the baddies? For sure, you’ll have the right guesses if you are an ardent buff of Tamil Cinema.

What would our hero do now? Instantaneously, jump into the right conclusion of devastating the plans of baddies and put them into death.

But then, this is not something we expect from Surya. The actor had enthralled us with a big note in ‘Vaaranam Aayiram’ and ‘Ayan’. But with an attempt of reaching towards B and C audiences, the actor fails to capture our interests

Let’s start off with the film’s synopsis first and later analyze it in simple terms.

Aadhavan (Surya), a stunning sharpshooter is assigned by Dr. Abdullah (Rahul Dev) to kill a magistrate (Murali) as he would soon reveal the group of fraudulent groups involved in illegal organ racketeers, who’ve killed numerous children from hill side communities. Aadhavan gets into the house of Judge and manages to become cordial with family members. The only person who knows about his cloak and dagger mission is the house cook (Vadivelu).

But at a certain point, mysteries get unraveled about family’s past and unforgotten relationships.

Surya does his job well being a director’s actor. That’s fine and how an actor should be actually. But K.S. Ravikumar has exploited him very badly by offering unapt aspects on him. The opening stunt sequences remind us much off Surya’s previous film ‘Ayan’ as well traveling across the countries to assassinate the victims. Nayanthara doesn’t expose her skin much and tries to make a decent attempt from saving her life in Kollywood. Unfortunately, her aged looks stops the young lads from admiring her. Vadivelu is the one and only consolation to all audiences. For sure, if he wasn’t there, the audiences would run out of theatres merely in the intermission. Murali’s last film goes much memorable while Rahul Dev’s goes unutilized as in his previous films. Why use him in stereotypical roles is a big question. Much evidently, Shayaji Shinde performs the same role and sleepwalks through it.

Harris Jayaraj’s musical score doesn’t entertain us grandly. Spare him for couple of songs ‘Dhamaku’ and ‘Hasili’. Surya puts his earnest efforts on choosing best costumes, but delivers the same dance steps for almost all the songs. He has to work a lot on it for being more perfect.

Cinematography with Digital Intermediate(DI) is quite moderate with songs, but most of the talkie portions are shot with Blue matte graphics which looks odd.

K.S. Ravikumar fails to entertain us as we could hear the audiences howling the front seats – Dae Enna Da Nadakudhu… Vetthu Padam idhu’ & Govinda Govinda Govinda yells the elite group towards the second half of the film.

With more special shows screens all over the globe, the film will get more collections in box office much prior to newspapers would publish the reviews and so with the TV channels.

Botton – Line: Unapt film for Surya

Verdict: Below Average

Facebook, MySpace Could Lead To Rise In Suicide

Social networking sites leave children with impoverished friendships and this can ultimately lead to suicide, warns Archbishop Nichols.

Archbishop Vincent Nichols, the head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, has warned that social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace encourage ‘transient relationships’ and ultimately lead youngsters to commit suicide. He also said that the Internet and mobile phones were “dehumanising” community life and that relationships had been weakened by the decline in face-to-face meetings.  “I think there’s a worry that an excessive use or an almost exclusive use of text and emails means that as a society we’re losing some of the ability to build interpersonal communication that’s necessary for living together and building a community,” Archbishop Nichols told the Sunday Telegraph newspaper.

His comments follow the suicide of a 15-year-old schoolgirl. Last week, Megan Gillan, a student at Macclesfield High School in Cheshire, took a fatal overdose of painkillers after being bullied on social networking site Bebo.

The Archbishop also stressed that the sites are contributing to a trend for teenagers to put too much importance on the number of friends they have and that this can ultimately lead to suicide.

“It’s an all or nothing syndrome that you have to have in an attempt to shore up an identity; a collection of friends about whom you can talk and even boast. But friendship is not a commodity,” Nichol said. “Friendship is something that is hard work and enduring when it’s right.”

Wish A Very Happy Friendship Day

India Plans SME Helpline

The toll-free helpline will assist SMEs in day-to-day operations, finance, marketing, legal, banking and taxation domains.

The Government of India plans to launch a toll-free helpline for small and medium businesses, which would offer assistance on issues like taxation, finance, laws, marketing and other relevant topics. This was disclosed by Dinesh Rai, secretary, ministry of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), Government of India, at a conference on ICT for SMEs, organised by the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) and IndiaMART.com on 10 July 2009.
Reiterating the Government’s commitment to SMEs, Rai said, “The toll-free helpline is part of our resolve to assist SMEs in day-to-day operations, finance, marketing, legal, banking and taxation domains.” Rai also underlined a plan to run a National Skill and Development Centre (NSDC) to create an entrepreneurial ecosystem in India.

Highlighting the plight of SMEs, Dinesh Agarwal, founder and CEO, IndiaMART.com, appealed to the Government to minimise redtapism, encourage single-window clearance mechanisms, rationalise tax regimes and adopt a proactive strategy aimed at education and evangelism for SMEs. He also lamented the issue of technology providers trying to push highly-priced products and solutions to SMEs, which are beyond their budgets. “If SMEs are not provided with timely help, we will run the risk of a fall in exports and a resultant fall in GDP,” said Agarwal.

Painting a bullish picture about India’s future, Gurmukh Singh, head, business marketing, Intel, South Asia, exhorted the SME sector to be ready when exponential growth in India’s online universe throws up big possibilities. “By 2012, India will get 511 million Internet users and small businesses should be ready for it. Intel is already offering solutions and assistance which SMEs can make use of even today,” Singh said.

Rajiv Sodhi, director, emerging geographies, Microsoft India, educated the audience on the power of ICT for innovation and acceleration of business in time of recession. Speaking on the much-publicised ‘Project Vikas’, Sodhi reiterated Microsoft’s commitment to help SMEs, by offering tailor-made software solutions to aid in operations, maximising revenues and creating relationships with customers and partners.
