World's first gay caveman found in the Czech Republic

2011-04-19T00:11:00.000-07:00

Ancient humans remains are thought to be those of a gay man based on the way he was buried.
Found in the Czech Republic the remains of a male individual were curiously positioned and buried in a way that is usually only seen in female burials. Alongside him archaeologists found several household jugs but no sign of any weapons.

Archaeologists do not think it was a mistake or coincidence given the importance attached to funerals during the period, known as the Corded Ware era because of the pottery it produced. From history and ethnology, we know that people from this period took funeral rites very seriously so it is highly unlikely that this positioning was a mistake,’ said lead researcher Kamila Remisova Vesinova.

A.R Rahman - Its more than only Jai Ho

2011-04-15T23:56:00.000-07:00

A.R Rahman, the music-maestro from India had achieved 2 Academy awards for his composing work in the film "The Slum Dog Millionaire ", especially the "jai -ho" track taken the world by storm, the people get to know about the creation of this extremely talented composer who sometimes also denoted as the "Mozart of the East". Its only after the release of the "Slum dog" that the people around the world came to know about this composer and his creations but apart from "Jai ho", he have composed lots of other mind blowing (I literally mean it) composition . If some body asked me to vote "jai ho" out of 10, keeping in mind Rahman's other works, I would give it 5. If you really want to feel the depth of Rahman's creativity and its unmatched flavor, then you must have to listen to the tracks of "Dil Se", "Roja", "Taal" , "Rangeela", "Saathiya" and the list will go on.

I'm sharing a fantastic song from the movie Dil se, the song called "Jia Jale (Burning Heart)". Its a wonderful mixture of authentic Indian percussion works and honey-sweet voice of great Lata Mangeshkar.I hope you enjoy it.

আমাকে আমার মত থাকতে দাও
আমি নিজেকে নিজের কাছে গুটিয়ে রেখেছি
যা ছিলনা, ছিলনা তা না পাওয়াই থাক
সব পেলে নষ্ট জীবন
তোমার এই দুনিয়ার ঝাপসা আলো
কিছু সন্ধের গুঁড়ো হওয়া কাচের মতন
যদি উড়ে যেতে চাও
তবে গা ভাসিয়ে দাও
দুরবিনে চোখ রাখব না
না না না না না না...................
এই জাহাজ মাস্তুল ছারখার
তবু গল্প লিখছি বাঁচবার
আমি রাখতে চাই না আর তার
কোনো রাত দুপুরের আবদার
তাই চেষ্টা করছি বার বার
সাঁতরে পার খোজার

হঠাত আকাশ বেয়ে চুপ করে
যদি নেমে আসে ভালবাসা খুব ভোরে
চোখ ভাঙ্গা ঘুমে তুমি খুজনা আমায়
পাশ ফিরে দেখো আমি নেই
আমার জন্য আলো জেল না কেউ
আমি মানুষের সমুদ্রে গুনেছি ঢেউ
স্টেশন এর চত্তরে হারিয়ে গিয়েছি
লাস্ট ট্রেনে বাড়ি ফিরব না না না
না না না না না না .........................

এই জাহাজ মাস্তুল ছারখার
তবু গল্প লিখছি বাঁচবার
আমি রাখতে চাই না আর তার
কোনো রাত দুপুরের আবদার
তাই চেষ্টা করছি বার বার
সাঁতরে পার খোজার
না না না না না না না ..................................

Gulf Rupee - An Introduction

2010-07-15T05:46:00.000-07:00

In between 1959- 1966, a special kind of currency was in use in the countries of Arabian Peninsula and Persian Gulf. This currency was known as the Gulf rupee or the Persian Gulf rupee. This currency was issue by the Indian Government and the Reserve Bank of India and was equal to the Indian mainland rupee. The serial number of the notes was usually starts with a ' Z ' alphabet.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Indian rupee was used extensively as the legal tender in the countries of the Arabian Peninsula and the Persian Gulf. To diminish the burden put on India’s foreign reserves by gold smuggling by this extraneous use of rupee, an individual currency was created. The Government of India launched the Gulf rupee in 1959 as a substitute for the Indian rupee. This currency was introduced exclusively for circulation outside the country. Indian Government devalued the Gulf rupee on 6 June 1966 after many countries in that region has come up with their own legal tender.

Simple SEO Techniques for your Blog

2010-02-11T06:19:00.000-08:00

A blog is a personal online diary sort of thing, where an individual writes about their own personal interest. Basically a blog is all about own personal fields of interest but there are lots of blogs that are created to promote a certain perspective or products. They can be tagged as "Commercial Blogs". Just like a website a blog can also be optimized to get maximum exposure in terms of business and popularity. Following are some simple steps which if followed can result in better visibility of your blog.

1. To optimize a blog you need a blog. Register a blog either in Blogger.com (a Google initiative) or in Wordpress.com. Except these two, there are other several blogging platforms present on internet but these two are most widely used. If you want to promote business through your blog or make money out of it by running ads, then it is suggested to use BlogSpot.
2. Use simple templates and SEO friendly images (there are several image processing websites are there, which process your image by making it lighter so that a spider can easily crawl it and index it) to decorate your blog. Always remember to add an alternate text (Alt txt) or image summary to the images that you are using.
3. Add suitable Meta tags and Meta description. If you are using blogger (that’s BlogSpot), add suitable title to your blog which generally reflects the type of content which your blog have.

4. Write unique and grammatically correct content. Frequently update your content. This will ensure the search engine spider to crawl most often. Plagiarism is one of the most important factors on internet. Do not copy & paste your content. This may result in closure your blog.

5. Internally link your blog. This means like your one post with other with relevant keyword or phrase. Check from time to time the link functionality. Remember broken internal link may hamper your ranking in search engines.

6. Regularly submit articles in good article directories and fetch a back link from that article towards your preferred page. This has helped me a lot in ranking high in Google SERP (Search Engine Result Page). There are several god article directories are there and they are free too.

I would suggest Go article, Article Dashboard, Ezine, Amazine like sites. They are simply best.

7. Beside article submission, you also need to do web submission / blog submission to ensure the continuous flow of back links towards you blog. This is also very simple as there are thousands of web directory, which offer this service free. Don’t go for reciprocal submission; instead choose the free and do- follow one. No-follow & Do-follow are HTML attributes which denotes which link to follow and which to not. So, never go for Do-follow. You also need to do RSS submission of your blog. You can get the RSS feed of your blog by clicking the orange button at the right side of the address bar.

8. Exchanging links with other relevant sites or blog is considered as one the main foundation of SE ranking. But it will be effective only when you exchange links with other relevant / good quality site and it is preferred that the link come from inside the content and not from the resource page.

9. That’s enough of SEO techniques, try to follow these simple steps and above all enjoy your writing. Happy blogging.

I write only on those topics that I love to write about and I believe it is applicable in case of all of us. Therefore, no more loose talks, instead of that let there be many tight thoughts and interesting stuffs. I welcome you all too Official Spider’s Blog.
