Dynamic Tower

Visionary architect Dr. David Fisher is the creator of the revolutionary Dynamic Tower, the world's first building in motion. The Dynamic Tower heralds a new era of architecture: Buildings in motion will challenge traditional architecture, becoming the symbol of a new philosophy that will change the look of our cities and the concept of living.

The Dynamic Tower offers infinite design possibilities, as each floor rotates independently at different speeds, resulting in a unique and ever evolving shape that introduces a fourth dimension to architecture, Time.
The Dynamic Tower is environmentally friendly, with the ability to generate electricity for itself as well as other buildings nearby making it the first building designed to be self-powered, it achieves this feat with wind turbines fitted between each rotating floor. An 80-story building will have up to 79 wind turbines, making it a true green power plant.
The Dynamic Tower is also the first skyscraper to be built entirely from prefabricated parts that are custom made in a workshop, resulting of fast construction and of substantial cost savings . this approach known as the Fisher Method, also requires far less workers on construction site while each floor of the building can be completed in only seven days, units can also be customized according to the owners needs and styles
Dr. Fisher states, “Today's life is dynamic, so the space we are living in should be dynamic as well, adjustable to our needs that change continuously, to our concept of design and to our mood, buildings will follow the rhythms of nature, they will change direction and shape from spring to summer, from sunrise to sunset, and adjust themselves to the weather, buildings will be alive.
“From now on, buildings will have four dimensions, the fourth dimension is ‘Time' to become part of architecture,” Dr. Fisher added. “Buildings in motion will shape the sky line of our cities.
By combining motion, green energy and efficient construction, the Dynamic Tower will change architecture as we know it, and will start a new era of Dynamic Living.

HAR AHAT EHSAS

Girls vs. Grown Women

Girls leave their schedule wide-open and wait for a guy to call and make plans.
Grown women make their own plans and nicely tell the guy to get in where he fits

**********
Girls want to control the man in their life.
Grown women know that if he's truly hers, he doesn't need controlling.

**********
Girls check you for not calling them.
Grown women are too busy to realize you hadn't.

**********
Girls are afraid to be alone.
Grown women revel in it-using it as a time for personal growth.

**********
Girls ignore the good guys.
Grown women ignore the bad guys.

**********
Girls make you come home.
Grown women make you want to come home.

**********
Girls worry about not being pretty and/or good enough for their man.
Grown women know that they are pretty and/or good enough for any man.

**********
Girls try to monopolize all their man's time ( I.e., don't want him hanging with his friends).
Grown women realize that a lil' bit of space makes the 'together time' even more special-and goes to kick it with her own friends!

**********
Girls think a guy crying is weak.
Grown women offer their shoulder and a tissue.

**********
Girls want to be spoiled and 'tell' their man so.
Grown women 'show' him and make him comfortable enough to reciprocate without fear of losing his 'manhood'.

**********
Girls get hurt by one man and make all men pay for it.
Grown women know that that was just one man.

koi jo mila to... Shankar

Hindi Movie/Album Name: BREATHLESS (ALBUNM)
Singer(s): SHANKAR MAHADEVAN
Hindi Lyrics:
Koi jo mila to mujhe aisa lagta tha
jaise meri saari duniya main geeton ki rut
aur rangon ki barkha hai khushbu ki aakdhi hai
mahki hui si ab saari fizaayen hain
bahki hui si ab saari hawaayen hain
khoyi hui si ab saari dishaayen hain
badli hui se ab saari adaayen hain
jaagi ummengein hain, dhadak raha ahi dil
sapnon main toofaan hain, hoton pe nagme hain
aakhon main sapne hain, sapnon main beete hue
se vo saare lamhe hain
jab koi aaya tha, jazron pe chhaya tha
dil main samaya tha, kaise main bataun tumhe
kaise use paaya tha, pyaar ke chehre pe bikhri jo julphen
to aisa lagta tha jaise kohre ke peechhe
ek os main dhula hua phool khila hai jaise
badal main ik chaand chhupa hai
aur jhaank raha hai jaise raat ke parde main
ek savera hai roshan roshan aakhon main
sapnon ka saagar jismain prem sitaron ki chaadar
jaise jhalak rahi hai
lahron lahron baat kare to jaise moti barse
jaise kahin chandi ki payal goonjey
jaise kahin sheeshe main jaam girey
aur chhann se tootey jaise koi chhip ke sitaar bajaye
jaise koi chaandni raat main gaye
jaise koi hole se paas bulaye
kaisi meethi baatain thee
vo kaisi mulakaatein thee
vo jab maine jaana tha
jazron se kaise pighalte hain dil
aur aarzoo paati hai kaise manzil
aur kaise utarta hai chaand jameen par
kaise kabhi lagta hai swarg agar hai
to bas hai yahin par
usne bulaya mujhe, aur samjhaya mujhe
hum jo mile hain, hamain aise hi milna tha
gul jo khile hain, unhe aise hi khilna tha
janmo ke bandhan, janmo ke rishtey hain
jab bhi hum janme to hum yahin milte hain
kaanon main mere jaise, shahed sa ghulne lage
khwaabon ke dar jaise aakhon main khulne lage
khwaabon ki duniya bhi kitni haseen aur
kaisi rangeen thee khwaabon ki duniya
jo kahne ko thee par kahin bhi nahi thee
khwaab jo toote mere, aakh jo khuli meri
hosh jo aaya mujhe
maine dekha maine jaana
vo jo kabhi aaya tha, nazron pe chhaya tha
dil main samaya tha, ja bhi chuka hai
aur dil mera ab hai tanha tanha
na to koi armaan hai, na koi tamanna hai
aur na koi sapna hai
ab jo mere din aur ab jo meri ratain hain
unmain sirf aansoon hain
unmain seif dard ki ranj ki batain hain
aur pharyaadein hain
mera ab bhi koi nahi main hoon aur khoye
hue pyaar ki yaadein hain (3)

Eight things!


    Salam Alekum dear brothers & sisters,

    A Scholar once asked his student:

    You have accompanied me for a long period of time, so what have you learnt?

    He replied : "Eight things"

    Click Here To Join

    The first: I looked at the creation and found that every person has something that is beloved to him, but when that person reaches his grave, his beloved would be separated from him. So I made the most beloved thing to me my righteous deeds, so that they may be with me in my grave.

    The second: I looked at the saying of Allah the Elevated:
    …But as for him who feared standing before his Lord,and restrained himself from impure evil desires and lusts.Verily, Paradise will be his abode. Quran79:40-41
    So I strove against my self, repelling desires and lusts from it until it settled upon obedience to Allah.

    The Third: I saw that whoever possessed something valuable would keep it in a safe and secure place, I then looked at the saying of Allah the Glorified:
    Whatever is with you will come to an end, and whatever is with Allah will remain. Quran16:96
    So whenever something of value came into my possession, I directed it to Him, so that it may remain for me with Him.

    The Fourth: I saw that people return to wealth, lineage and nobility, and they are all worthless, so I looked at the saying of Allah the Glorified:
    the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Quran49:13
    So I worked on attaining Taqwaa or righteousness so that I may be honorable with Allah.

    The Fifth: I saw that people envy each other, so I looked at the saying of the Elevated:
    It is We Who portion out between them their livelihood in the life of this world Quran 43:32

    The Sixth: I saw them taking each other as enemies, so I looked at the saying of the Glorified:
    Surely, Shaytaan (Satan) is an enemy to you, so take (treat) him as an enemy Quran35:6
    So I left their enmity and took Satan as my only enemy.

    So I concentrated on what was due to Him from me, and left what was due to me to Him.

Work From Home, Save The Environment


IN THIS ISSUE:

1. Work From Home, Save The Environment
2. Achievement Trumps Tenure
3. Managing Your World
4. Canadian Companies Open Labs to Schoolchildren


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++



1. Work From Home, Save The Environment

Sun Microsystems has presented evidence that telecommuting is not just a convenience for workers who wish to dispense with the morning routine of struggling to find something to wear, then fighting traffic or braving the gauntlet of public transportation. Sun just released the results of its Open Work Energy Measurement Project, a survey of its employees aimed at finding out just how beneficial its flexible scheduling policies are by calculating the difference in the environmental impact of commuting to an office versus working from home. It found that 98 percent of each employee's carbon footprint for work came from his or her commute. By staying home for half of a five-day workweek, the average employee reduced his or her job-related energy use by 5400 kilowatt-hours per year. Commuting half as much also saved each worker $1700 per year in fuel and other auto-related costs, and allowed them to regain more than two weeks that would otherwise be lost to traffic snarls or waits at train stations.


2. Achievement Trumps Tenure

Employers no longer take it for granted that X years on the job equate to a certain level of skill or accomplishment. They want to know what you did to improve a process, eliminate a bottleneck, or otherwise exercise leadership. According to a Business Week article, "Once you crack the code to making positive change in your workplace, you won't have to use the trite phrase "value added" in your résumé. You'll have plenty of specific accomplishments to crow about." The article suggests making a list of the things you've learned and significant achievements during your tenure at your job. These will be the things you emphasize on your resume and in an interview--or work to build upon if the list is too short.

3. Managing Your World

"I've got a thousand things to do today," you say to yourself as you arrive at your desk. Where to start is often the hardest decision to make. A California Job Journal article offers some tips for staying on top of your to-do list. These include counterintuitive moves such as avoiding multitasking, which is a productivity killer, and daring to be slow--at least when it comes to responding to e-mail while working on a higher-priority task. When you do get around to checking e-mail, do so on a set schedule, and take the action necessary (like adding an item to your calendar) to ensure that you need to read each message only once.



4. Canadian Companies Open Labs to Schoolchildren

A coalition of Canadian companies, including Bell Canada, Rogers Communications, Nortel Networks and IBM Canada, plans to create a lab sharing program wherein they will make their research facilities and resources available to IT students in high school and college on weeknights and weekends. The firms are concerned about skill shortages they say will result in a shortfall of nearly 90 000 workers in science, technology, engineering, and math within three to five years. They hope the move and plans to promote IT careers through media relations campaigns, television and radio broadcasts, the Internet, and efforts to educate elementary and high school counselors about the breadth of opportunities in IT will result in heightened interest among young students.

anuska to star opposite SRK


Model Anushka Sharma will play Shah Rukh Khan's leading lady in "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi", which is being directed by Aditya Chopra.Yash Chopra, Chairman, Yash Raj Films, Thursday announced that the 19-year-old from Bangalore has been selected to play the female lead. "We were looking first and foremost for someone who could truly embody the spirit of small town Punjab and we know we have found her in Anushka," said Yash Chopra. "And while she has no previous acting experience, we have seen that unique spark in her that makes us confident that she will be a standout even opposite Shah Rukh," he added.
Chopra said that "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" will go on the floors May 16 and will hit theatres worldwide on Dec 12. So far Aditya has wielded the megaphone for two films - he debuted as a director with super hit "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" and his second film was "Mohabbatein".

SRK to challange Ekta Kapoor


Anybody hardly can forget Shah Rukh Khan's first appearance in television with shows like Dil Dariya, Fauji and the much popular Circus.With a long journey in Bollywood the merely known face attained the kingship in the tinsel town and banged back on television with entertaining quiz show "Kaun Banega Crorepati". The booby box allured the King Khan again and he is back with list of questions for his fans on another Star Plus show "Kya Aap Panchvi Pass Se Tej Hai?" But this is not all that the King seems to end with paying homage to his first introducer to the glittering industry. So, what else he has in mind for his favourite entertainer, the television?Shah Rukh promptly replies to the quiz saying, "yeah, it has been my wish to make some programmes for television through my production house. I have even finalized a name for that as 'Red Chili Idiot Box'. I would like to request all my friends from the television industry to help us out as we don't have that experience of working in television." He proves his polite nature adding, "We deal with films and know little about films only. So, we would like to make something based on filmy issues. But I would like to make clear that my show will not be based on interviews of actors or actresses.
There will be fiction that you can call light movies of short duration. We would love to make it our USP as HBO runs mini-series of short films."Along with audience, media also will be waiting for Red Chili to come up with this new show. So, when Shah Rukh is expecting to start producing the show?
"We expect to start working on our dream project within three or four months", explains Shah Rukh. The glam boy, in his early forties, praises his production team saying, "I used to teach the people whom I employed in my company at the very outset and now they teach me.

Lewd sms?I didn't send it to Shahid

Female power is in. Deepika Padukone is busy matching Akshay Kumar's kicks and somersaults in Bangkok for Nikhil Advani's Chandni Chowk To China. Nearer home in Hyderabad Jiah Khan matched stunt strides with Aamir KhanThough thankfully she hasn't had any mishaps yet, Jiah's lithe stunts in Murughadoss' Ghajini are every bit as heart-in-the-mouth as Aamir Khan's.The only reason Jiah's action scenes aren't being talked-about are because she isn't talking about it. "I can't! I'm not allowed to," she quakes with contractual terror. "But yes I've done a lot of action scenes in Ghajini. They've been extremely unnerving."The action sequences require Jiah to match Aamir kick for kick. "And they are one reason I had to lose so weight," she admits having returned from Hyderabad where the Ghajini shooting was wrapped up earlier this. "The schedules don't suffer because of Aamir's accident at all. We resume in the middle of May as per schedule."On Tuesday Jiah started shooting in Mumbai for Ken Ghosh's film with Shahid Kapoor. "That's the film I'm not supposed to do," she jokes. "It's so cheap to send compromising messages in someone elese's name," Jiah suggests that the sms messages that embarrassed Shahid Kapoor and almost had her out of the project were sent off by someone else in her name. "I've never sent sms to people in the industry beyond work. I'm so new to all this manipulation scheming and negativity. I'm just so happy to be doing two films like Ghajini and Ken Ghosh' s film where I've completely different roles."

Now long hair six-pack Shahid

Shahid Kapoor will be opting for a new long haired look for his upcoming project, a musical to be directed by Ken Ghosh for UTV. The music video maker had turned filmmaker with Shahid's debut film, Ishq Vishq and had followed it up by bringing Shahid – Kareena Kapoor together for the first time with Fida. Confirming the news Ken stated that the project is on and Shahid is indeed making changes in his physical appearance. While Ken refuses to divulge any further details, our sources inform us that it is an out and out dance film which will be on the lines of a larger than life Broadway musical. The Jab We Met star is all set to fly abroad to learn different dance styles as well as work on his body to make it look like a trained dancer. He is also sporting a six pack for a dance sequence which will be choreographed by a Hollywood dance specialist.Shahid Kapoor had first sported long hair for a soap detergent TV commercial way back in 2001. It featured him in two looks – one a long haired one and other in a trimmed look. The actor, post his Jab We Met success, has become extremely choosy and aims to do only one film at a time, a close pal of his revealed to us. "That is why he is taking liberty to experiment with his looks," the friend added.Presently Shahid is looking forward to the release of Tips films Kismet Konnection opposite Vidya Balan directed by Aziz Mirza. The film is set for a July 11 release!

Ranbir: Message for my Mom


. Perhaps that's the reason why she passed away when I was shooting abroad because she knew how my heart bled every time I saw her wriggling in pain at the hospital.
Honestly speaking, I don't miss her because I never forget her. Even today I can literally feel the warmth of the godi (lap)-the best bed to rest on. Oh, I don't believe in the concept of Mother's Day and yet believe in it.I think every day in the year is Mother's Day. Just as you can't confine the sky in a bottle, you can't confine Mother's Day within 24hours." Hrithik Roshan on Pinky Roshan: My mother is the Bourn vita of our family-her sheer presence makes all the difference to our lives. Mother's Day this year is even more special with two mothers in our family-my mother and the mother of my two kids, Suzzane.
Generally it's Suzzane who take scare of all the arrangements for a celebration. But since this day is meant for my mom and her, so I guess the males have to tie up their aprons to please the ladies of the family.Esha Deol on Hema Malini: Whenever I think of perfection I think of my mom. Every day she surprises me with a new dimension in her character. She grows intellectually every day. I can never look or dance or act so beautifully like her. It won't be wrong if I say I live Mother's Day every day with my mother.
Well, even after all the free-flow of emotions, if your dil maange more, then grab a DVD of the film Mother India and watch it this Mother's Day (the latest buzz is, DVD-wallahs are giving a compilation of Nirupa "Mother of Bollywood" Roy's films for the early birds).
What are the two factors that make up Bollywood?- Maa and Cine-ma. So Shashi Kapoor was indeed on strong ground when he said in Dewaar -Mere paas maa hai (I have my mother with me) if there were no filmy mothers around. But we won't be discussing filmy moms…Rather we can hear about the moms who are behind many a Bollywood sensation. Let's hear the daastan-e-maa (story of mother) from some of the biggest names of Bollywood Ranbir Kapoor on Neetu Singh Kapoor: Mother's Day to me is an opportunity to keep on telling my mom how special she is to me. My mother gave me the freedom to take decisions when I was in Class V. She is so special! Not only for me and my sister but for the entire family. She never interfered in my space. All she would say is that –Do whatever you want to. But just remember your origin, the royal blood in your veins. And that's more than enough for me to think and rethink before taking a decision.Of course I will get her the cutest gift on Mother's Day. She is too figure conscious. So can't give her chocolates. I think she will be happy if I gift her a new gym. Rekha on her mother Pushpavalli Ganeshan: My mother was, in fact is, my guardian angel. It's all because of her that I am in this industry. I still remember how every morning at 6 she dragged all of us to the temple in our house. The fragrance of her mogras mixed with that of agarbattis, camphor and other flowers created a heaven for us-the fragrance still lingers every day when I pray at the temple in my bungalow Sea Springs. She was the best cook I have ever known.The recipe of her upma and poha was famous among our friends and relatives. I never had to communicate with her verbally.She looked at me and understood what I wish to say.

Experience Still the Best Teacher

IN THIS ISSUE:

1. Experience Still the Best Teacher
2. Women, Minorities More Flexible About Work Schedules
3. Slaying the Dragons Within
4. New U.S. Rules Incite Court Skirmish Over Foreign Tech Workers
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


1. Experience Still the Best Teacher

Though companies spend more than US $100 billion a year on formal training
courses for their employees, the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL)
reports that only about 10 percent of the knowledge that people need in
order to become effective managers and executives is learned in the
classroom. A Business Week article notes that the lion's share comes from
experience in challenging job assignments where "the demands of the job pull
the person to develop new skills and not just rely on successful habits of
the past." Certain types of assignments induce this "demand-pull" more than
others. The article lists seven, including first-time international
assignments, which often require the person to learn a new language, adjust
to different cultural norms, and improve his or her interpersonal relations
skills.


2. Women, Minorities More Flexible About Work Schedules

Over the past decade, U.S. companies have expanded the range of benefits
they make available to employees, while the number who offer health and
wellness benefits has increased and the number who offer domestic partner
benefits has more than doubled. But a recent study of 1100 employers
commissioned by the Families and Work Institute reveals that the companies
most likely to offer flexible work arrangements for employees responsible
for children or aging parents are those headed by women or ethnic
minorities. The group's 1998 study found the same disparity. Its conclusion:
many firms' policies regarding work schedules reflect "a lingering [of]
societal standards that leave most family responsibilities to women, while
men are freed from that concern."


3. Slaying the Dragons Within

We all grow up hearing that life's victors are those who are willing to go
out and slay the dragons that sit between them and whatever the prize
happens to be. But according to a Registeredrep.com article, the deadliest
beasts lie within. The article describes seven dragons, or fatal behavioral
flaws, that can be career or relationship killers. Among these are
arrogance, impatience, and martyrdom. Each of the beasts are the negative
manifestation of some positive trait -- self-deprecation being the tendency
to take humility to the point where you trivialize your accomplishments or
offer apologies for your success. The good news is that each dragon can be
conquered.


4. New U.S. Rules Incite Court Skirmish Over Foreign Tech Workers

On 29 May, three worker advocacy agencies and 10 U.S. workers filed suit in
a U.S. federal court, asking that new regulations that extend the legal
non-immigrant status of foreign nationals educated in the United States to
nearly two and a half years beyond the completion of their degree
requirements be struck down. The new rule, introduced by the Department of
Homeland Security on 4 April, allows people with student visas who are
participating in a 12-month "Optional Practical Training" program under
which they are working for a U.S. employer in an area directly related to
