Life Insurance

Life insurance is acontract that pledges payment of an amount to the person assured (or his nominee) on the happening of the event insured against. The contract is valid for payment of the insured amount during the date of maturity or specified dates at periodic intervals or unfortunate death, if it occurs earlier.

Among other things, the contract also provides for the payment of premium periodically to the corporation by the policy holder. Life Insurance is universally acknowledged to be an institution, which eliminates risk, substituting certainty for uncertainty and comes to the timely aid of the family in the unfortunate event of death of the breadwinner.

do u luv sum1 dis much...

A girl and guy were speeding over 100 mph on the road on a
motorcycle...
Girl: Slow down. Im scared.
Guy: No this is fun.
Girl: No its not. Please, its too scary!
Guy: Then tell me you love me.

Girl: Fine, I love you. Slow down!
Guy: Now give me a BIG hug.

Girl hugs him

Guy: Can you take my helmet off & put it on
yourself ? Its bugging
me.
In the paper the next day A motorcycle had crashed into a
building because of brake failure. Two people were on it,
but
only
one had survived.
The truth was that halfway down the road, the guy realized
that
his brakes broke, but he didn't want to let the girl know
Instead,
he had her say she loved him & felt her hug him one last
time,
then had her wear his helmet
so that she would live even though
it
meant that he would
die.

If there is anyone in life you love this much!!!

Today

Today . . .

Today before you think of saying an unkind word
Think of someone who can't speak
Before you complain about the taste of your food
Think of someone who has nothing to eat

Before you complain about your husband or wife
Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion
Today before you complain about life
Think of someone who went too early to heaven

Before you complain about your children
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren
Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep
Think of the people who are living in the streets
Before whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet
And when you are tired and complain about your job
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down
Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around

Life is a gift
Live it.
Enjoy it..
Celebrate it..
And fulfill it..
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY . .

Simple Meditation Breathing Exercise

Get comfortable. This may mean lying down, but often it only requires sitting comfortably with your hands in your lap. If you find your clothing too restrictive to stay comfortable, either loosen them or change them. A loose robe is sometimes worn while doing meditation breathing.

Keep your eyes closed and start to relax your body. Keep your back straight and all of your muscles relaxed. Avoid tensing up any parts of your body. Sit quietly for a few moments and let the stress of the day slide away. Ready yourself for deeper relaxation.

Take one deep breathe to cleanse your body of stress. Breathe out slowly, concentrating on keeping your body relaxed. Let your mind go blank, and forget about all of your current worries.

Breathe in deeply and breathe out slowly several times. Find a breathing pace that keeps you the most relaxed. Keep your breathing slow and steady for several minutes until your mind is free from worry and stress. Concentrate on nothing but your breathing. Continue the breathing exercises for as long as they are helpful.

Remote Method Invocation(RMI)

Java RMI is a mechanism that allows one to invoke a method on an object that exists in another JVM. The other JVM could be running on the same machine or a different machine. The RMI is basically an object-oriented Remote Procedure Call(RPC) mechanism.

The primary goal for the RMI designers was to allow programmers to develop distributed Java programs with the same syntax and semantics used to non-distributed programs.

RMI applications are often comprised of two separate programs: a server and a client
A typical server application creates some remote objects, make references to them accessible, and waits for clients to invoke methods on these remote objects.

A typical client application gets a remote reference to one or more remote objects in the server and then invokes methods on them

India, Pakistan favourites for World Twenty20 trophy: Misbah-ul-Haq

Pakistan cricket vice-captain Misbah-ul-Haq has said both India and Pakistan are favourites to win this year's World Twenty20 tournament in England
.

"Both Pakistan and India have been doing very well in Twenty20 cricket. So, I think both have a very good chance of winning the World Twenty20," Haq said.

Haq said Pakistan, which lost to India in the final of the inaugural World Twenty20 tournament in 2007, has been in good form in the shortest version of the game.

"We have been playing a Twenty20 tournament every year and that has matured us. Fortunately, we are again playing that event in Pakistan before going to England," The News quoted Haq, as saying.

Besides India and Pakistan, South Africa and New Zealand are the top two contenders for the trophy, he added.

"Any team can win a Twenty20 game but you need discipline and luck. I think South Africa and New Zealand are also two very good teams," Haq said.

Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple

The life of Madurai revolves around the Sri Meenakshi Sundareswarar temple. This magnificently carved temple is the main attraction of Madurai and its huge Gopurams towers over the city. Meenakshi temple has a thousand pillared 'Mandapam'. Precisely there are 985 pillars and each of them is delicately and exquisitely carved. Among these are the musical pillars, which produce music when tapped. Surprisingly, these musical pillars are carved out of a single granite rock. The temple has been a hub of Tamil culture and has been sponsoring literature, art, music, and dance in the region for a long time. The temple also has an art museum. The city apart from temple is crammed with shops, street markets and temples, pilgrims choultries, hotels and restaurants. Though Madurai is considered as pilgrimage but it has also developed as a business centre and is famed for its traditional handicrafts in bronze and brass.

Silambam

Silambam is the art, which was created by Siddhars for the common people to protect them salves when there is a life-threatening situation. It is the art, which was developed very systematically and scientifically. Silambam was the first Martial art in Asia. Most of them argue upon this theory, because of many reasons and its secrets this art was not been fully explained to people. We all know that any secret will be leaked by time. As it was difficult subject matter and only few important people knew about its potentiality.

I would like to give few examples, which is being on practice even today by Tamil people that can prove my theory of findings on Silambam.

All say China is the country, which gave the scientific, and systematic martial arts to world. The Chines martial arts based upon the foot moments and the free hand combat, using of animal movements in its styles. The CHI energy, Zang fu, YANG and YIN of Acupuncture. These are the main concepts of Chine’s and northeast Asia martial arts.

How Firewalls Work

If you have been using the Internet for any length of time, and especially if you work at a larger company and browse the Web while you are at work, you have probably heard the term firewall used. For example, you often hear people in companies say things like, "I can't use that site because they won't let it through the firewall."

If you have a fast Internet connection into your home (either a DSL connection or a cable modem), you may have found yourself hearing about firewalls for your home network as well. It turns out that a small home network has many of the same security issues that a large corporate network does. You can use a firewall to protect your home network and family from offensive Web sites and potential hackers.

Basically, a firewall is a barrier to keep destructive forces away from your property. In fact, that's why its called a firewall. Its job is similar to a physical firewall that keeps a fire from spreading from one area to the next. As you read through this article, you will learn more about firewalls, how they work and what kinds of threats they can protect you from.
