Access the Web with your Email Address (Convert a web page into PDF)

Web2PDF is an extremely useful web based service that lets you browse the web using your email address.

Compose a new email message, type the URL of any web page in the body of that message and send it to submit@web2pdfconvert.com. The service will then fetch the corresponding web page on its own servers and will send it back it you as a PDF attachment – all this takes no more than a few seconds.

I have tried this service will several web pages, including ones that have complex layouts, and the conversion was more or less perfect in all cases (see examples here and here). The converted PDFs not only retain the layout but also the hyperlinks and thus you may fetch other internal pages as well using email itself.

Such a service may come handy in quite a few situations like when you have access to email but general web access is restricted. Or when you are surfing the web on an old mobile phone with a pathetic browser – in that case, the built-in PDF reader may be a better option for reading web articles.

Story of Morse codes

Morse code is a fascinating way to send messages and create code.  Morse code is a method of transmitting textual information as a series of on-off tones, lights, or clicks that can be directly understood by a skilled listener or observer without special equipment.    A dot consists of an "on" element followed by an "off" element, and a dash is three "on" elements and one "off" element. Each character is a sequence of dots and dashes, with the shorter sequences assigned to the more frequently used letters in English – the letter 'E' represented by a single dot, and the letter 'T' by a single dash. A speed of 12 WPM is therefore associated with an element time of 100 milliseconds, so each dot is 100 ms long and each dash is 300 ms long, each followed by 100 ms of silence.

A simple Example :

English Text  :   Hai KK gowtamasa

Morse Code :  .... .- .. / -.- -.- / --. --- .-- - .- -- .- ... .-

పదహారణాల తెలుగు అమ్మాయి .... Tradition of India

All the customs and traditions of Sanatana Dharma have a perfect scientific basis.   Dr. Annie Besant opined, “ I have studied all the great religions of the world over the past 40 years. There is no religion comparable to Hinduism in greatness, perfection and rationalism.”

It is alarming that a number of convent schools in the country impose a ban on students in the country impose a ban on students wearing traditional Indian dresses and ornaments, and mete out punishment to student wearing them.

To wear traditional Indian ornaments is not a mark of fashion, but it is a type of therapy that plays a vital role in promoting good physical and mental health. Out ancestors were well aware of the impact of different metals on the human body. Not only this, metals have been used and are even now being used as medicines; for example calx of gold, silver, tin, iron, etc.

Ornament theraphy is practiced as a method of treatment in some other countries as well. Dr. Hardstone of the US has used metals and gems as a part of his Gem theraphy. France has also experimented in this field and met with success.

Scientific Basis of Ornaments

Anklet (Payal) : (1) Wearing of anklets (rings) or thick anklets made of pure silver around the anklets stops the inflammation of foot soles. (2) Provides protection against swelling of the heels. (3) Regulates peripheral blood circulation. (4) It helps patients of sciatica. (5) Activates lymph glands in the body and boosts immunity. (6) Is beneficial in gynaecological disorders like menstrual diseases, infertility, hormonal imbalance and abnormal conditions of obstetrics. (7) Regulates the flow of life force within the body improving health and looks and thus helps maintain health. (8) Helps in keeping sexual desires under check.

It is beneficial for women to wear silver ornaments below the waist. Ayurveda prohibits wearing Gold-ornaments below the waist.

Earrings: Piercing the ears has a great importance in Indian ethos. Indian physicians and philosophers believe that piercing the ears helps in the development of intellect, power of thinking and decision making faculties. Talkativeness fritters away life energy. Ear piercing helps in speech-restraint. It helps to reduce impertinent behaviour and the ear-channels become free from disorders. This idea appeals to the Western world as well, and so they are getting their ears pierced to wear fancy earrings as a mark of fashion.

Bracelet: Bracekets controls the sex-organs and keep sexual desires restrained. It also strengthens the heart and helps regulate blood pressure.

Armlet : It induces valour and helps to keep the body in shape. It keeps the digestive system in order and protects against allergies.

Necklace : Necklace made from a variety of gems and metals are useful in controlling a number of diseases. They have a beneficial impact on the thyroid gland and the respiration system.

Waist-chain : It activates the Mooladhar charka and improves efficiency of the kidneys and the urinary bladder, and gives relief from backache and other pains.

Ring : Rings made of pure gold are worn to augment energy levels, to prevent mental tension, to exercise control over reproductive organs and sexual desires, and to strengthen the digestive system. Rings made of different gems and metals have their own characteristic effects on the body.

An experiment conducted at the Canterbury Institute proved that keeping the navel, head, hands and feet covered, heightens the sense of security. The energies, flowing in the brain, pass through the space between the eyebrows. A tilak applied between the eyebrows, as Hindus do, preserves this energy. Iron rings are worn for preservation of energy in the feet.

Importance of Tilak

The space on the forehead between the eyebrows is the centre of the brain’s thinking faculties. The Yogis call it the Ajna Chakra. It is also termed as Lord Shiva’s third eye as it is the abode of noble thoughts. Application of sandalwood paste or vermillion as a tilak on this spot helps in nurturing the Ajna Chakra and the two adjacent glands; namely the pineal and the pituitary glands. This also develops intellectual power, vitality and the faculty of thinking. Therefore, application of a tilak is beneficial from both a scientific and spiritual point of view. That is why there is a custom in Hindu religion to apply tilak before starting any auspicious task.

I Love Coffee

I always knew coffee had some antioxidants, but was unaware than it had more than tea. Antioxidants protect the body from free radicals...Drinking a lot of coffee can be a lifesaver, scientists claim. If you are on your fifth or sixth cup, do not feel bad. This might just be the thing which will protect you from having a heart attack and various other heart disturbances. Listen to Paul Mayevsky who divulges the coffee secret to you.

Going to Sabarimalai

Kaartika Pournami

కార్తిక పౌర్ణమి ..... I like to spend this time in hill stations, one of my favourite is Ramadurgam, which is located after devipatnam, east godavari... It's very peaceful and calm forest place ....  Here there is a chance to get meditated more and more deeply as compared with satsangas ... and the flow of cosmic energy is unbelievable ...   Exspecially i like the night journey to reach Ramadurgam from my home town.. (Travelling in forest at night time was so tremendous)
