Cricket to miss Mr.Cricket!

Mike Hussey
  Mr.Cricket one last time in test arena to represent Australian cricket team for New year's test against Srilanka.  Mike Hussey who announced his retirement yesterday said that 4th test against Srilanka will be his last test. Mike Hussey who has been called as Mr.Consistent, Mr.Cricket over the years played as a middle order pillar for his team.  

  A one of great finisher for Australia after the departure of Michale Bhevan, Mike Hussey entered into test arena after scoring loads of runs in domestic carrier, debuted against West Indies in 2005.  From that on he has become an integral part of Australia's test side who saved matches for his team.

  Even in ODI and T20 format he finishes the match for his team.  He is a kind of player who used to construct his innings, back himself and finally ensure victory for his team.  His absence will leave a huge gap in Australia's test side.  Former Australian played thought that his retirement come at wrong time especially before tour against India and for Ashes in England next year.  Anyway, he retires on a high notch of his game, unlike ponting.

  Michael Hussey's announcement of his retirement has shocked many former's. On twitter, they all praised the achievements of Mr. Cricket. 

Tom Moody: @TomMoodyCricket 
Congrats Michael Hussey, an outstanding career true winner that worked as hard as anyone I've had the pleasure to play with or coach #class 

Mickey Arthur: @MickeyArthur 
Was shocked when Huss told me of his decision-he will retire a champion. 

Jason Gillespie: @YCCCDizzy 
Huss, all the best pal! You deserve a strong send off at the SCG. Finish with a win! #respect #qualityplayer #qualitybloke 

Glenn Maxwell: @Gmaxi_32 
Also can't believe mr cricket announced his retired!! Feel privileged to have played with him & be there for his last test! 

Travis Birt: @T_Bird81 
Rubbish day for cricket. Passing of a legend and retirement of Mr Cricket. #RIPTonyGreig

Which is the Most Favorite Color We Choose for our Cars


When they say it’s as simple as white, it doesn’t mean it’s boring.
White Colored Car
In fact, white remains as the most favored automotive color globally, according to a recent survey by paint company PPG Industries.
According to the survey, released last October 10, some 22 percent of respondents said they prefer white, followed by silver with 20 percent. Black is at third with 19 percent, grey at 12 percent, red at nine percent, and natural at eight percent. Other colors, including green, are placed at one percent.
On the other hand, white is tied with silver as the most popular automotive color in the Asia Pacific region with 23 percent for each. Black is the next most popular color in the region at 19 percent, followed by natural with 10 percent, red with nine percent, gray with eight percent, and blue with seven percent. Green is still in the bottom rung with only one percent.
There are no indications as to the reasons for the color preference. However, the previous 2011 survey showed that most of the respondents said that color is a factor in their automotive purchase decisions. In addition, buyers of premium vehicles would put more value on cars with the color of their choice.
PPG Manager Jane Harrington said that the automotive segment continues to be influenced by culture, nature, fashion, interior design, among others. “Our consumer research has clearly shown that color is critically important to car buyers.”
The survey was presented during the annual Automotive Color Trend Show in Michigan last September. PPG Industries also showed 64 new colors, which are targeted at everything from electronic devices, automotive, heavy industries, to homes and commercial businesses.

Meteorite Found in California

Meteorite Found in California

A meteorite from a fireball that lit up the night sky over Northern California last week hit the roof of a Novato house and landed in the backyard, scientists say.

Homeowner Lisa Webber, a nurse at the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, found the space rock Saturday (Oct. 20), after reading an article about the dazzling Oct. 17 fireball in the San Francisco Chronicle. She recalled hearing a sound on her roof the night the meteor was reported and went searching behind her house, where she found a 2.2 ounce (63 grams) stone.

Webber contacted Peter Jenniskens, head of the CAMS (Cameras for Allsky Meteor Surveillance) project, which is jointly run by NASA and the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute. The CAMS project put out a public call for information on possible meteorite sightings soon after the fireball last week.

However, Jenniskens ultimately identified the rock as a meteorite. The stone, he reports, is dense and responds to a magnet, although scientists recommend not bringing magnets near suspected meteorites to avoid disrupting their natural magnetic fields.

Jenniskens and Webber's neighbors Luis Rivera and Leigh Blair inspected the house's roof and found a small dent consistent with the rock having hit it from a southwest direction.
The stone, which is a mixture of light and dark material, appears to be breccia, a composite made of mineral and rock fragments bound together.

The meteorite's discovery helps scientists define the trajectory along which the meteor fragments fell. The path began east of San Rafael and continued over west Novato, toward Sonoma, Jenniskens said. He hopes the find will help the CAMS team uncover more meteorites from the same fireball soon.

"The significance of this find is that we can now hope to use our fireball trajectory to trace this type of meteorite back to its origins in the asteroid belt," Jenniskens said.


The fireball was seen at 7:44:29 p.m. PDT (10:44 p.m. EDT) by many people in the San Francisco Bay Area, with numerous observers catching the blaze on cell phone cameras and videos. The fireball also created a loud sonic boom that was also reported by witnesses. It occurred just days before the peak of the annual Orionid meteor shower over the weekend.
The CAMS team "obtained two views of the fireball track, one by our regular 20-camera station, the other by the single-camera station at San Mateo College," the scientists wrote.
"We propose the name Novato meteorite, pending approval by the Meteorite Nomenclature Committee," they added.

More Confidence, will brings in More Success to your Kids

Confidence

The secret to success at work doesn't seem to be about whom you know, or even what you know, but how you feel about yourself.

New research suggests that confident employees have more successful careers than their peers who aren't as self-assured.

Research from the University of Melbourne revealed a strong correlation between confidence and occupational success. As part of the pilot study, researchers interviewed more than 100 employees from large corporations in Melbourne, New York City and Toronto about their levels of confidence while in elementary school, high school, college and on the job.

The research revealed that those who self-reported higher levels of confidence earlier in school earned better wages, and were promoted more quickly.

The study's lead author, Reza Hasmath, from the University of Melbourne's School of Social and Political Sciences, said the research demonstrates a crucial ingredient of workplace advancement.
"The implications are tremendous in terms of the personality employers should look for when it comes to hiring or promoting staff," Hasmath said.

Researchers said the findings also shed new light on previous studies that argued better-looking people were more likely to get ahead in the workplace, or that taller people earn higher salaries.
"We now know it's actually higher confidence levels — which may be a byproduct of attractiveness and height — which make all the difference," Hasmath said.

The study also found that workers who described themselves as extroverted, neurotic, open to experiences or agreeable, the standard indicators of hard workers, were also found to be more motivated and having professional success in terms of wages and career advancement.

"The findings imply that we should stress confidence-building activities at an early age," Hasmath said. "Such activities should be strongly encouraged both in formal schooling and within the family unit."
The full study, which also looks at job search, hiring and promotion processes in those large corporations, will be released at the end of the year.

Find your Ways to do what you Love


Do what you love
While most of us would love a career we are passionate about, too many employees are stuck in jobs they don't even like, let alone love. Finding a way to do what you love for a living benefits both you and your employer, but how do you turn your dream into a reality? Here are 10 ways to turn your passion into a career.

Soul searching
Steve Zeitchik, founder and CEO of Focal Point Strategies, said that to do something you love, you have to first spend time thinking deeply about things that bring you enjoyment.

"Take a step back and figure out what it is that you enjoy doing,” including as many specifics and details as possible, Zeitchik said. "Don’t categorize it into a specific career or industry."
Only after you come up with the list of things that bring you joy should you think about the careers that each might fit.

Make time to make it happen
Once you’ve determined which of your passions you want to shape into a career, Deirdre Maloney, business consultant and president of Momentum, said, it is critical to take the steps necessary to turn that idea into a reality.
"Once we pinpoint ideas, we need to do something decidedly not passionate: schedule time in our calendars to come up with our plan to get there," Maloney told BusinessNewsDaily. "The plan must be written down, even if it’s broken out into tiny, baby steps."

Figure out how to profit from your passion
Executive coach Melanie Connallee said that to turn something you love into a business, you of course have to determine how to make money from it.
"Spend some time brainstorming," said Connallee, president of the MLC Group. "Look at it from several avenues – from your perspective, from the buyer’s perspective, the end user’s perspective and the audience perspective."
She said, for example, people who love art could fund their passions in several ways, including by teaching art, working in a gallery or doing portraits.

Talk to others who have done it
As someone who loves what they do for a living, Alan Kong, founder of Big-Hearted Furniture, said you should find other entrepreneurs already working in your area of interest.
"If you start to spend time and really talk to the market, ones who may have the same passions as yourself, then you will start to uncover hidden pains that will help you figure out how to launch a business model," Kong said.

Surround yourself with supportive people
Sara DiVello knows firsthand what it takes to make the switch to a true passion, having left her corporate public relations job to become a yoga teacher four years ago.
She believes the key is surrounding yourself with supportive people.
"Because your colleagues may feel just as trapped and scared, a dynamic can evolve where they can actually contribute to holding you back," DiVello said. "Some coworkers were overtly discouraging, telling me I'd be back, that I'd miss it."
Divello said the support of friends can make people feel less alone — and much braver.

Be fearless
Making a career change can be a scary prospect, but Jim McKeeth, chief developer-evangelist for RemObjects Software, said you can't be scared to take the plunge.
"Too many people I talk to are afraid to try doing what they love, because they are afraid they are no good or will make a mistake or that they're not ready yet," McKeeth said. "Experiment in your quest for greatness, and when you make a mistake, just keep going."

Don't wait around
Chryssa Zizos, founder and president of Live Wire Media Relations, said she believes that the longer people wait to make a career switch to something they love, the less likely they are to ever do it.
"If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, then you should act quickly," Zizos said. "Open the business you have been dreaming of, because as you get older, you are less likely to take risks."

Take classes
Before jumping in with both feet, however, Ben Seidel, president of Igniting Business, says those interested in switching their careers to something they love should take some classes or get some professional instruction on the industry. That way, they can make sure the career that truly suits them.
"Invest in some coursework or professional training in that area in order to gauge your talent and endurance," Seidel said.

Don't try to do it all on your own
While many may think doing something they love requires that they start their own business, Joe Weinlick, vice president of marketing of career network for Beyond.com, said this doesn't have to be the case.
“An easier path is to find a company that does something related to your hobby, and try to get a job there," Weinlick said
For instance, Weinlick said a friend of his loves dogs and that her dream was to start a non-profit that cares for canines.
"She found a job working at an Internet site that provides pet advice and sells pet meds, which is a great fit," he said.

Be patient
Yeosh Bendayan, owner of Push Button Productions, said people pursuing a passion must ready themselves for the early struggles that will inevitably occur.
"Be patient," Bendayan said. "It took us nearly two years between the start of business and being able to comfortably afford our salaries, so we could quit our day jobs."

Nano System Developed by Indian Researchers to Cure Cancer

Cancer Cell
Work by a team of Indian researchers, who have developed a novel multi-component magnetic nano system that could image and kill cancer cells, has been highlighted in the latest issue of internationally acclaimed `Nature India` magazine.

The magazine is an international journal, with original, groundbreaking research spanning all scientific disciplines.

The design of nano system is bridged on graphene - a carbon allotrope, which could specifically target cancer cells, and deliver cargo of anti-cancer drugs and imaging agent.

"The challenge was to design a multi-component nano system and simultaneously which would be bio-compatible for cancer cells," says team leader Dr Jayant Khandare, who works with Piramal Healthcare Ltd. India.

The magazine has noted this manuscript as a ‘Research Highlight’ indicating the importance of this research designed by team of scientists from Piramal Healthcare Ltd.

This multi-component nano system acts as a stronger cellular probe in imaging cancer cells, which is a powerful diagnostic tool. It can also be directed to target cancer cells and cancer tumour using external magnetic field, Khandare told PTI.

Besides researchers from Piramal Healthcare Ltd, the team comprises researchers from the Center for Structural and Functional Materials and Chemical Engineering Department, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, USA.

French Woman gets 11,721,000,000,000,000 bill


A French woman nearly had a 'cardiac arrest' when she received a bill for €11,721,000,000,000,000, but she managed to convince the company they had made a mistake.
Solenne San Jose from Bordeaux nearly was shocked when she saw how much money she owed when she went to close her account at Bouygues Telecom.
She told French newspaper Sud Ouest: "I almost had a cardiac arrest. There were so many zeroes, I couldn't even work out how much it was."
Fortunately, she convinced the company they had made a mistake and when the organisation reviewed the situation they realised it was a printing error, and Solenne was then given her corrected bill of €117.21.

Awesome New Features In Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini

Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini
Well, well. The Korean tech giant isn’t far behind when it comes to bringing up the rear. The Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini is finally official. Not going by the name ‘mini’, it could actually pack a punch! With the successful run of its older brother, the S3 Mini hopes to mirror the success that defined the Galaxy S3.



Let’s take at a look at the features that Galaxy S3 Mini will sport.

Display

The younger sibling carries a Super AMOLED 4-inch display with a screen resolution of 800 x 400 pixels, fair bit of compromise when compared to the Galaxy S3.

The resolution on the S3 Mini seems out-of-date when the competition, hauling the same screen size, comes in better HD resolution schemes. 

There isn’t tad much of a difference in screen resolution when viewed by the naked eye, it’s not going to slip under the eyes of the experts.

Processor

Samsung Galaxy S3 runs on a quad-core Exynos processor clocked at 1.4GHz. It’s an interesting piece of detail when compared to the new kid on the block. It looks like the Korean giant halved the spec sheet with the Galaxy S3 Mini.

Powered by a 1 GHz dual-core processor, the mini S3 is quite efficient of running applications and looks more than comfortable to run Android 4.1 aka Jelly Bean. The chipset is a Mali-400 based GPU, meaning that the benchmarking results will be optimised; not nearly as capable as the Galaxy S3 but enough juice to power major applications and processes. 

Operating System

It all comes down to who is garbed in Android clothing better; in this case, the S3 Mini. 

While the Galaxy S3 is still shipped with the earlier version of the Android OS, Ice Cream Sandwich, the S3 Mini will come with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out-of-the-box.

It will grace Samsung’s TouchWiz UI while bringing in a more intuitive interface which the Jelly Bean carries.

Score one for the S3 Mini.

Design

The design echoes its elder brother, the Galaxy S3, with a few changes of its own. Stuffed into a thicker casing, the Galaxy S3 Mini mirrors the Galaxy S3 quite closely.

Its removable battery rear, its plastic casing, the colour scheme are all a shade less than the Galaxy S3. The dimensions stand at 9.9mm x 63mm and weighing in at 119 gm. 

Connectivity

In the connectivity department, the S3 Mini isn’t behind the Galaxy S3.

Both devices carry NFC wireless comm., both have the industry standard Bluetooth/GPS and Wi-Fi and both have a microUSB.

The thing most about the microUSB is its MHL compliance. You can watch HD videos but with only the correct cable, a cable meant for Samsung’s own connectivity options. A downer, considering the USD 30 the cable costs.

Reportedly, Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini is expected to hit the market during Christmas and it is expected to be priced between USD 350 to USD 430.

100 Million Year old Data Card!


Data card of million years
Researchers claim to have developed a new water proof storage device that can endure extreme temperatures and hostile conditions like fires and tsunami 'forever' without degrading.

Japanese multinational conglomerate Hitachi has unveiled the chip, which it claims is resistant to many chemicals and unaffected by radio waves, can be exposed directly to high temperature flames and heated to 1,000 degrees Celsius for at least two hours without being damaged.

The chip is also waterproof, meaning it could survive natural calamities, such as fires and tsunami, the 'Daily Mail' reported.

"The volume of data being created every day is exploding, but in terms of keeping it for later generations, we haven't necessarily improved since the days we inscribed things on stones," Hitachi researcher Kazuyoshi Torii said.

"The possibility of losing information may actually have increased,' he said, noting the life of digital media currently available - CDs and hard drives - is limited to a few decades or a century," he said.

The company's new technology stores data in binary form by creating dots inside a thin sheet of quartz glass, which can be read with an ordinary optical microscope.

Provided a computer with the know-how to understand that binary is available - simple enough to programme, no matter how advanced computers become - the data will always be readable.

"We believe data will survive unless this hard glass is broken," said senior researcher Takao Watanabe.

The material currently has four layers of dots, which can hold 40 megabytes per square inch, approximately the density on a music CD, researchers said, adding they believe including more layers should not be a problem.

The company has not decided when to put the chip to practical use but researchers said they could start with storage services for government agencies, museums and religious organisations.

Water in Mars?


A rocky outcrop on Mars has sent a shot of excitement through the scientific community with the evidence it provides of an ancient riverbed -- Martian "water transport" -- according to NASA.
NASA's Curiosity rover has sent back pictures of a section of the Martian surface called Link, an outcrop of rocks whose surface is not coated in the ruddy dust of Mars but is exposed and clean, the space agency says. 
As the Los Angeles Times' Science Now reported Thursday, the combination of sandy rock and large pebbles tells a story of an ancient river, with rocks that traveled far, bumping into -- and smoothing -- one another out.  It was water, not wind, that created that rocky scenario on Mars, scientists said.
Water flow in Mars
Link, says NASA, shows rock formed by water deposits, made up of smaller, rounded rocks cemented together. "Water transport is the only process capable of producing the rounded shapes of clasts [gravel fragments] this size," according to NASA. 
As of Thursday, Curiosity was 2 to 4 miles from a triangular network of channels, an alluvial fan. Another indicator of ancient water activity on Mars, the slope looks as though flowing water may have spread material downward.
Like other formations in this portion of Mars, by the way, Link gets its name from a noted rock formation in Canada.
In an earlier interview with The Times, Curiosity deputy project scientist Ashwin Vasavada explained that the landing site and Glenelg -- the formation where Curiosity is headed -- were named prior to the rover's landing.
"Both our landing site and Glenelg are within the Yellowknife quadrangle, named for the Canadian city that is the jumping-off point for expeditions that study the oldest rocks in North America," he said. "Glenelg and other features within Yellowknife on Mars are named for the geologically famous rock outcrops around the Yellowknife area on Earth."

4D Clock Up for tick tock


Scientists have proposed to build the first ever 4D space-time crystal clock that they claim will keep accurate time forever, even after the heat-death of the universe.
This is the “wow” factor behind a device known as a “space-time crystal,” a four-dimensional crystal that has periodic structure in time as well as space, scientists said.
Researcher Xiang Zhang from Berkeley Lab’s Materials Sciences Division, who led this research, and his group, have come up with an experimental design to build a crystal that is discrete both in space and time— a space-time crystal
However, there are also practical and important scientific reasons for constructing a space-time crystal.
With such a 4-D crystal, scientists would have a new and more effective means to study how complex physical properties and behaviors emerge from the collective interactions of large numbers of individual particles.
A space-time crystal could also be used to study phenomena in the quantum world, such as entanglement, in which an action on one particle impacts another particle even if the two particles are separated by vast distances, scientists said.
Scientists from the US Department of Energy (DOE)’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has proposed the experimental design of a space-time crystal based on an electric-field ion trap and the Coulomb repulsion of particles that carry the same electrical charge.
The concept of a crystal that has discrete order in time was proposed earlier this year by Frank Wilczek, the Nobel-prize winning physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
While Wilczek mathematically proved that a time crystal can exist, how to physically realize such a time crystal was unclear.

Do You know why Facebook trying to Delete over 5M account?

Facebook
A majority of employers and recruiters are now using social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, search engines and criminal records to learn the truth about job seekers. 

A survey conducted by Australia-based software firm Nuage Software showed over half of human resource managers surveyed ran a Google search on candidates, 74 per cent checked LinkedIn, 23 per cent Facebook and three per cent Twitter. 

According to tech firm Nuage's managing director David Wilson, some employers are asking to view Facebook and Twitter profiles at interviews in order to avoid privacy concerns, Perth Now reports. 

"The internet has a very long memory. An ill-advised or impulsive post can be rapidly replicated across many sites and be impossible to take back," the report quoted Wilson, as saying 

"People really do enjoy the freedom of expression on social media, but it is worth considering the cumulative effect of their postings," he added. 

According to the report, Australia's National Crime Check managing director Martin Lazarevic said the variety of employers getting police checks on applicants had grown rapidly in the past six months, and as many as one in ten checks were catching people out.
