The Brother Earthquakes and their Sister Tsunamis

WOW!! Its not like I am excited about all the destruction in JAPAN. I saw the whole coverage for 3 hours constantly, feeling sorry for the poor people. I even met a Japanese student that day, who had his head in his hands, near to tears, watching his country facing one of the biggest disaster of all time. I did tell him that I felt very sorry for him.

He told me that he talked to his mom on cell phone and she told him that she cannot contact any of their relatives, which could have meant that the landlines were completely destroyed or that..... well lets face it, this kind of destruction hardly seem to leave anyone alive.

I said WOW! because the size of the tsunami wave that came that day was huge. even the cameramen shooting the live telecast were amazed. HOW! how does an earthquake, despite being so destructive itself, can bring upon something even more destructive than itself??.

here are some facts and figures that I collected from the internet and other sources.

• Date-Time:
• Friday, March 11, 2011 at 05:46:23 UTC
• Friday, March 11, 2011 at 02:46:23 PM at epicenter
• Location: 38.322°N, 142.369°E
• Depth: 24.4 km (15.2 miles) set by location program
• Region: NEAR THE EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN
• Distances:
• 130 km (80 miles) E of Sendai, Honshu, Japan
• 178 km (110 miles) E of Yamagata, Honshu, Japan

I would like you people to search about HAARP. And then give me your feedback

PEACE for JAPAN People

TITAN..... A Hope of Life in Deep Space

Titan [TY-tun] is the largest moon of Saturn and the second largest moon in the solar system, rivaled only by Jupiter's moon Ganymede. Before the Voyager encounters, astronomers suspected that Titan might have an atmosphere. Scientists also believed they might find liquid seas or pools of methane or ethane; water would be frozen due to Titan's low surface temperature. Expecting an unusual world, Voyager 1 was programmed to take numerous close up views of Titan as it flew past in November of 1980. Unfortunately, all that was revealed was an impenetrable layer of atmosphere and clouds. Only slight color and brightness variations were observed.

Titan's surface temperature appears to be about -178°C (-289°F). Methane appears to be below its saturation pressure near Titan's surface; rivers and lakes of methane probably don't exist, in spite of the tantalizing analogy to water on Earth. On the other hand, scientists believe lakes of ethane exist that contain dissolved methane. Titan's methane, through continuing photochemistry, is converted to ethane, acetylene, ethylene, and (when combined with nitrogen) hydrogen cyanide. The last is an especially important molecule; it is a building block of amino acids.

Two potential signatures of life on Saturn's moon Titan have been found by the Cassini spacecraft. But scientists are quick to point out that non-biological chemical reactions could also be behind the observations.

Titan is much too cold to support liquid water on its surface, but some scientists have suggested that exotic life-forms could live in the lakes of liquid methane or ethane that dot the moon's surface.

In 2005, Chris McKay of NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field and Heather R Smith of the International Space University in Strasbourg, France, calculated that such microbes could eke out an existence by breathing in hydrogen gas and eating the organic molecule acetylene, creating methane in the process.

The glow of Titan's extensive atmosphere shines in false colors in this view of Saturn's gas-enshrouded moon acquired by the Cassini spacecraft visual and infrared mapping spectrometer during the July 2, 2004, flyby.

While flying over the terminator, where Titan's day and night meet, both the dayside and night sides are seen at various wavelengths. In these views of the crescent moon, the sunlit side is on the left and the nightside on the right. The blue image shows the sunlit crescent as observed at a wavelength that pierces through the thick atmosphere to show only the surface. This image is much smaller than the other three images to the right, because it does not show any atmospheric affects.

 

In contrast, the green image shows the immense size of Titan's atmosphere. This is revealed by the fluorescent glow of methane gas, which extends over 700 kilometers (435 miles) above the surface, showing that the atmosphere nearly doubles the size of Titan. This glow is at a wavelength of 3.3 microns, five times the wavelength visible to the human eye.

 

The Titan have a lot of hydrocarbons under its surface. Scientists all over the world are certain that if an electric surge of 10,000KV or more, is sent into the underground reserves of titan at the same time, from all the directions. The reaction of the hydrocarbons would create a massive ocean of pure water on Titan and then may be the atmosphere of the titan would drop as well

EGYPT & the Curious Case of Pakistani People

What is to say of these people, when united they can build something that can withstand 3000 years of rough weather and threats from Mother Nature (Equakes and S-storms)...Well obviously I am talking about The Egyptians and The Great Pyramids.....

And now look at wat these folks are doing...ousting a Ruler who had ruled over them for 30 years......How are they throwing him out of the country??? Answer is a MILLION March....A protest on street, following the footsteps of their sister countries Tunisia and Jordan. 'o'

Yeah you would be surprise if you are a pakistani.....Why? Come 0n on people!!!

Protests on streets....long marches? Clashes with the law enforcements entities?? All this had been happening in Pakistan since 2005. Its our weekiend freetime hobby! :-)) After the Sacking of the Chief Justice of Pak, a million lawyers stood their ground against the government and overpowered General Pervez Musharraf. And now since 2008, we have been seeing more n more million marches every week...but none too effective....WHY?

I'll tell you why! In 2005-2006 when a million lawyers took to the streets they were one unit...all had the same agenda, all had the same motto.....Reinstate the CJ, Free the Judiciary. Then Tunisians came out saying they need freedom from the Kingship of their superior..again all had the same motto....... and then came the Egyptians....again the same agenda, again the same reason "GO MUBARAK GO!".....

But why is it not working now for Pakistan, when it had in 2006? When all is wat the parties want is the Re election of the government, why are they unable to bring the "CHANGE" or as Altaf Hussain says "INQALAAB". I'll tell you why, because every time a million people start their procession, they are not under one flag i.e., Pakistan. Instead they are either under a red flag with an AXE on it, or riding a BICYCLE, or roaring with a LION or flying with a KITE....All of these people share the same motto, but has different Agenda, some wants to bring reform, some wants to rid off land mafia, some wants to have their good old  days back and some just want to have a head on collision.

Today, I say this! Right here, right now. If for just once, these people throng to the street waving none other 'than the Green with White Crescent and Star' no one can stop them from overpwering the government. I am not a politics student, not a journalist, not a beaurucrat (see I dont even know how to spell Bureaucrat)...I am just an ol'folk who watches TV and think with an open mind just for 5 minutes everyday (thats how Einstein penned the Theory of Relativity).

If you are a Pakistani and have been in a rally, or seen one on TV, close your eyes for 1 minute and visualise, a million people on the road with a MILLION GREEN FLAGS, all waving one salogan in harmony, all walking hand hand, shoulder to shoulder! You will see the light of freedom, you will see a prosperous Pakistan, you will see a United Pakistan.

ZZZzzzzzz! yeah well I am going to ma bed, I do feel a bit awkward after writing all this, but hey, I would like to share my views with you, after all 38 Pakistanis do visit my blog you know : D NIGHTIE NIGHT

PEACE PEOPLE PEACE (BE IT IN EGYPT OR PAKISTAN)

 \m/

P.S. If you dream of a million march and a Bomb Blast, you are a Pakistani......GOTCHA!
(ignore the spelling mistakes, HUH)

The Quake, The Bird and The Fish....It happened again people!

Boy this is getting a bit wierd......first a 7.3 magnitude earthquake jolted the whole Pakistan.....A Major range earthquake which when came in October 2005 of the same magnitude killed thousands of people and swallowed villages; and this time only 10 died and a few building (1 story homes) were destroyed. 90% of the people in Karachi didnt felt a thing, yet the measurement of the tremor was done in KARACHI '~'.....

And then 3 days later Tajikistan is hit by another earthquake and again Upper region of Pakistan is jolted by a magnitude 6.1 shock, yet Thanks to God, no casualties....

but even though of all this blessing, one mught feel a bit suspicious...SUSPICIOUS HOW? Oh! I dont know maybe because of the fact that two earthquakes never occur so spontaneously in this region....also the fact that the two earthquakes Tajik and Pak one were on two different fault lines and that no heavy casualties were reportes in either.......

And yet the birds keep falling off the sky??? 'o'

Thats right, this article is not about the quakes, its about those birds again...they fell off the sky again. In USA again.

Around 500 dead birds have fallen from the sky in Louisiana, found scattered along a quarter-mile portion of highway in Point Coupee Parish. The discovery is approximately 300 miles south of Beebe, Arkansas, where just days earlier thousands of the same species of birds also fell from the sky.

AND....

An estimated 300 dead birds have been found on the side of the I-65 highway in Alabama, WAFF News reports. According to wildlife biologist Bill Gates, the birds are grackles, a common black bird (OH MY GOD! BLACKBIRDS AGAIN!!), one of the same species reported in the past weeks to have been found dead in mass quantities in other nearby states like Arkansas, Louisiana and Kentucky

Initial tests conducted by biologists on the red-winged blackbirds and starlings found in Arkansas revealed that the birds suffered internal injuries that formed deadly blood clots 'o'. Countless explanations have been speculated, from intense high-altitude weather like lightning or hail to disturbance from fireworks. Disease and poison were determined to be far less likely causes, though full test results won't rule them out until next week.

The latest occurrence of more dead birds turning up in Louisiana only compounds local residents' worries, as in the week prior to the Arkansas blackbird mystery, 83,000!!! dead drum fish washed up along a river about 100 miles west of Beebe. Wildlife officials claim the incidents are not related.

THE HELL THEY ARE!!!

Stay tuned for more and may be in the upcoming days I'll be writing a startilng article, that might relate the earthquake, the birds and the fish.

P.S. Have you ever heard of this date "12th December, 2012"?

O level student scores record 23 As

Wow his parents should be so proud of him.......yet there is someone who cannot see him eye to eye!!

A student in Islamabad, Ibrahim Shahid, set a new world record by scoring 23 As in Cambridge O level exams.
Shahid, a student of a private school in Islamabad, sat for 24 subjects and scored 23 As.
Attributing his success to his parents, Shahid recalled an incident where his teacher in Australia had written him off, stating that he would “never excel”. He added that every child is special and everyone has their own capabilities.
Earlier, Ali Moeen Nawazish, also a Pakistani student, had set a world record by securing 23 As in A level Cambridge exams.

Facebook Fanatics.....

Wrong judgement. Winner should have been movies like inception or black swan that are so simple that u need to see them again and again to understand. Movies so deep that even when u see it the tenth time u still find something new. While movies like Social Network is about a network that came into being accidently, so did the movie but clinches the best movie award?? People people, its facebook that is successful not the movie itself.I think tht Social Network was the last movie i considered that could have won this award, but hey! who am I to judge!

Bulls***!! Unbeleivable, a guy takes 8 years to write a movie and then directs it himself in order to make it perfect and acheives what he desired, and there's a guy who directs a story of some person who is successful due to a website and puts it on screen because of its success on global net... and the latter wins!!
