NEW DELHI (AFP) - Twins born in eastern India almost six weeks apart and of the opposite sex are doing well despite low birth weights, doctors said, according to a report Sunday.
Twenty-five-year-old Babina Patra gave birth to the babies at a hospital in Phulbani in the poverty-hit coastal state of Orissa, the Press Trust of India reported.
The first, a boy, who weighed 1.3 kilograms (three pounds) at the time of delivery, was born on April 27. The second, a girl weighing two kilograms (4.4 pounds), was born on June 7, the report said.
The mother had developed a rare twin pregnancy, said gynaecologist S.K. Mohanty, in which the babies developed from two separate eggs that had become implanted in the womb.
Both babies were healthy and progressing normally, the doctors said.
“We are happy with the twins. They are doing well,” said the babies’ father Patra Dhabaleswar
Early morning woke up with my phone ringing out loud….and ohhh my God it’s Riana’s calling.”Hey are you ready to get some fun today”? Gosh
am I dreaming? “said to myself”. But I wasn’t. Well, am just shocked because for many weeks, months and almost a year I haven’t any communication with her. So I got cleaned and took my things up to place and hmmm ready for fuuuun!
I picked her up and got ready…
Gosh, thought and was expecting to be an exciting day to be but got bored. Really bored. So have to think, think and think. Hmmm maybe I have to make an excuse to escape he he he. I remembered one of my friend just arrived yesterday and well, maybe it’s time for me to make a move and stop myself from hiding (hiding???? from who?)
Well just to make a change and meet some new friends out there.
Today seemed to be my lucky day because everythings went nice and meet the person I wanted to and we had a very nice chit chat.
That’s all for today and to be continue
A renowned philosopher was held in high regard by his driver, who listened in awe at every speech while his boss would easily answer questions about morality and ethics.
Then one day the driver approached the philosopher and asked if he was willing to switch roles for the evening’s lecture. The philosopher agreed and, for a while, the driver handled himself remarkably well. When it came time for questions from the guests, a woman in the back asked, “Is the epistemological view of the universe still valid in an existentialist world?”
“That is an extremely simple question,” he responded. “So simple, in fact, that even my driver could answer that, which is exactly what he will do.”
Chair Philosophy
An eccentric philosophy professor gave a one question final exam after a semester dealing with a broad array of topics. The class was already seated and ready to go when the professor picked up his chair, plopped it on his desk and wrote on the board: “Using everything we have learned this semester, prove that this chair does not exist.”
Fingers flew, erasers erased, notebooks were filled in furious fashion. Some students wrote over 30 pages in one hour attempting to refute the existence of the chair. One member of the class however, was up and finished in less than a minute.
Weeks later when the grades were posted, the rest of the group wondered how he could have gotten an A when he had barely written anything at all. His answer consisted of two words: “What chair?”
A Ph.D. student, a post-doc, and their professor
A Ph.D. student, a post-doc, and their professor are walking through a city park and they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out in a puff of smoke.
The Genie says, “I usually only grant three wishes, so I’ll give each of you just one.”
“Me first! Me first!” says the Ph.D. student.
“I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat with a gorgeous woman.”
Poof! He’s gone.
“Me next! Me next!” says the post-doc. “I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with a professional hula dancer on one side and a Mai Tai on the other.”
Poof! He’s gone.
“You’re next,” the Genie says to the professor.
The professor says, “I want those guys back in the lab after lunch.”
This is starting to get a little tedious. The Bedfordshire Police website has just been taken down after it was discovered that every page had been replaced by an animated man carrying a Tunisian flag. Underneath, according to the BBC, was a green symbol and a Muslim prayer written in Arabic. Don’t bother clicking on the link: as at mid-day, it is still not back up.
However, if you would like to see what Bedfordshire Police WERE saying until they were so rudely interrupted, you could try the Google cache version.
Here you can read the answer to such vital questions as “Is Your Computer Safe Online?”, which warns rather ironically: “Hackers can get in, take what they want, and even leave open a ‘back door’ so they can access your computer anytime you’re online and use it to attack other computers.”
Moreover, “Every minute that your computer is connected to the Internet, it is at risk”. What a shame that Beds Police don’t appear to have read their own website. Particularly the bit that starts: “Where Can I Get A Personal Firewall?”
OK. Now that we’ve all had a good giggle, here’s the serious stuff.
Last week, the Home OfficeCrime Reduction Unit was itself subject to a similar hack. In that instance, one of its pages was replaced with a page that mimicked that belonging to the Italian Post Office - and for 12 hours phished happily away before anyone at the Home Office spotted what was going on.
Are you the owner of this data, sir?
This sort of incident is bad news for Government plans to centralise data in two ways. First - whatever the experts say - it is demonstrable proof that data may well NOT be safe in government hands.
Second, when the technological explanation appears and we are assured that whilst the website was hacked, no-one could possibly have wormed their way through to anything more sensitive, there is a credibility gap. One of the biggest obstacles to data centralisation is public confidence. This destroys it.
In response to the CRU incident, the Home Office is keen to point out that “at no point was there a risk to any personal or security information held on Home Office IT systems”. This was a hack that effectively “skimmed the surface” of the website, without connecting with any deeper database functionality.
The Home Office bods “take information very seriously”. This incident will now be included in a review of the security of its websites, undertaken by the Independent Reviewer of Information Assurance, and due to report back in Spring 2009.
On the question of how this affected public confidence in respect of the National Identity Scheme, they were less reassuring. “By linking fingerprints to a secure database with strict rules outlining its use, the National Identity Scheme will allow individuals, business, and the state to prove identity more securely, conveniently and efficiently while protecting personal information from abuse”.
This rather misses the point that if the public perceive something to be unsafe, it doesn’t matter how safe it actually is. Bedfordshire Police take a similar tack. According to a spokeswoman, “The website is hosted externally, away from all other police systems so no personal or confidential data could have been obtained.
“Bedfordshire Police take security extremely seriously, which is why the website is hosted independently and outside all other IT systems.”
In 2007, Bedfordshire Police were one of ten Police Forces in the UK to sign up to pilot the “Lantern” project - allowing them to carry out hand-held, mobile fingerprinting. That means key biometric data, of the type likely to be used to underpin any future biometric identity scheme is wandering the streets in the hands of a police force that can’t even protect its own website!
Are you re-assured?
Those who’d like to know more about how to hack the police (and other websites) could do worse than take a peek here. This Youtube channel offers a fascinating range of insights into how to carry out hacks. It also claims to be maintained by Arfaoui FirA, which is, co-incidentally, the same name as that used by the perpetrator of the Beds Police outrage. Is it him? Is it all some sort of cunning double bluff? Make your own mind up - but best to do so quickly, as we guess this site won’t stay up for that much longer.

Good morning everybody. Woke up late today. Felt so empty without my cup of coffee, with a piece of cheese of course I have read this from my friend Annie Desiree’s Blog
THE PARADOX OF LIFE:
Everybody wants to live a long life …… but nobody wants to get old.
Everybody wants to go to heaven . . . . . but nobody wants to die.
And nobody seems to realize that in our life’s journey . . . . . no one has ever reached

A new interesting and very good experienced that I have got few days back until now and learned some lesson that I could never ever forget. Well, my ex (as I have knew we’re like in this status now)… even if we’re far apart but still communication never ends and maybe that’s the best one that made our relationship still in good shape being a friend, brother to me, a lover… “a lover”? errr… he’s still my man and am proud of Him.
By the way, any way, am on the way Take a look at this…
