Santa Claus and the Christmas Tree History and Significance

The name Santa Claus is a US version of Sinter Klass, which it the dutch for Saint Nicholas. Saint Nicholas was a Christian saint from the early church in what is now Turkey (Then a greek speaking part of the Roman Empire). He was a bishop and was renowned for giving anonymous gifts to poor people. His feast day is December 6th when, in some countries, people still give presents to children from St Nicholas.

However, this present giving was moved to Christmas by some protestant reformers so Saint Nick went with it.

The tradition of the Christmas Tree started in Europe and is first recorded in the 16th century, well into the Christian era. There is no evidence at all of any connection to paganism.

The first Christmas trees were put up on Christmas Eve and were decorated with fruit and nuts (now replaced by glass baubles and candy). Christmas Eve used to be counted as the Feast of Adam and Eve. The connection is obvious - the Christmas tree represents the tree in the Garden of Eden.

The birth of Christ, the second Adam, transforms the tree from a symbol of our fall to a symbol of our redemption.

Watch Ghajini Movie Online Free | Download Ghajini Videos | Bollywood Wallpapers

Ghajini is about Prashanth Pawar (Amir Khan), a rich businessman who owns a cellular phone company named Air Voice and the events surrounding his relationship with Kalpana (Asin Thottumkal).

Kalpana, an advertisement model goes around telling her advertisement crew that she is the love interest of Prashanth. Kalpana does this in spite of having never met him and also goes to the extent of giving an interview about her relationship to a popular magazine.

Prashanth happens to hear about this through the media and wants to settle scores with her. On his way, he catches a fleeting glimpse of a young woman (who happens to be Kalpana) helping handicapped children to cross a street. It is love at first sight for Prashanth. He moves on to confront Kalpana at her advertisement studio. He is pleasantly surprised to realise that she is the same helpful woman he saw a while ago. He chooses to hide the fact from her that he is Prasad, calling himself as Manohar. Kalpana eventually falls in love with him.

Once, while on a train to Mumbai, Kalpana saves a group of young girls from abuse by a group of goons led by Lakshman (Pradeep Rawat). After a few days, the same goons come to Kalpana's house in order to avenge their embarrassment. Incidentally, Prashanth arrives at the scene and fights off the goons, but during the ensuing fight, Kalpana is murdered. The irony showcased is that Kalpana never finds out that he is Prashanth.

Lakshman then strikes Prashanth on his head severely with a metal rod. Though he survives the blow, but suffers from a short-term amnesia. At any given time, he does not remember anything that happened more than 15 minutes back, although he frequently has flashbacks of Kalpana's murder.

He determines to take revenge on those responsible for Kalpana's death. The rest is how Prasad, along with a medical college student Chitra (Jiah Khan), goes about finding Lakshman and the goons.

Microsoft offers Office Open Document Format (ODF) notes

Microsoft, the world's largest software firm, on Wednesday released documents detailing its implementation of Open Document Format (ODF) version 1.1 to its Office 2007 Service Pack 2, which is scheduled to release in 2009.

With this release, Microsoft expects developers to address interoperability issues between the ODF format and Open XML (OOXML). The notes would be available on the Document Interoperability Initiative site.

A Microsoft official told DNA Money, "By publishing notes on how we are implementing file-format standards in Microsoft Office, we are providing details that others can use as reference points for their own applications."

The release would give a fillip to Microsoft's case for pushing multiple standards for e-governance projects in India as more and more developers start working and enhancing the format and reducing the interoperability issues among the two popular standards.

The government's draft policy favours a single standard for e-governance projects in the country, which could benefit single-standard supporters like IBM, Red Hat and Sun Microsystems.

An IT department official said, "For each domain, among the standards meeting the above criteria, the government will choose a single standard for a specific purpose within a domain for seamless interoperability and data preservation."

However, some officials in the IT department are raising concerns over a single standard as the eligibility criterion. The official declaration on the standards would be made in February. Meanwhile, the detailed notes on Microsoft's implementation of OOXML in Office 2007 will be available in the coming weeks, the Microsoft official said.

Katrina ecstatic to be most googled name

 "I really didn't expect this," says a surprised but delighted Katrina Kaif on being the most searched name on the Internet, which means that she is more popular among the net-savvy youngsters.

"I'm very surprised. I really didn't expect this. Google is the only thing I know on the Internet. I'm not too Internet-savvy. Who doesn't want to be recognised and loved? I think it's really sweet because it means I'm a little more popular with the younger generation. People between 19 and 30 go to the Internet more, I think. And that's the audience I want to connect with," Katrina said.

This in spite of the fact that Katrina doesn't think she's sexy.

"Maybe the way I define sexy is different from the general definitions. Maybe the people who have voted for me think differently from me... thank god for that! The beautiful thing about this world is that there're so many different opinions."

The actress was earlier judged as the sexiest Asian woman by Eastern Eye, a leading British publication for the South Asian community. She bagged the highest number of votes for the Sexiest Asian Woman title.

"The important thing is to enjoy this moment. I smile about these things. Such momentary honour makes me want achieve a lot better. They help me take the next step."

Katrina has taken over from Aishwarya Rai as the most googled Bollywood girl. Both actresses have a more wholesome image than the term 'sexy' generally suggests.

"I can't be compared with her... She's iconic. I like that word... wholesome. I like being wholesome. Maybe today being attractive has more to do with the relatability factor."

Genelia d'Souza is also in Google's 2008 India Zeitgeist List.

"So maybe too much in-your-face appeal is no longer that much in favour. Maybe finding the balance is important. Otherwise one appeals to only a section of people. Me? I didn't project myself in any one way. I've projected myself the way my projects have allowed me to. I've been fortunate to be accepted in spite of not being conventionally sexy."

Katrina, who featured in this year's biggest hit Singh Is Kinng, says she's ready to play characters that are not straightforward.

"I play more intricate characters in Yash Raj Films' New York directed by Kabir Khan, Raj Kumar Santoshi's Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and Prakash Jha's Rajneeti. They are challenging, but I need to go to another level. After watching me in these films no one, not even me, will say I'm just being glamorous," she said.

World's first energy savings mkt in India

India will have the world's first market for trading in energy savings. Under the National Action Plan on Climate Change, the power ministry has prepared the blueprint for trading in energy by industrial plants that save energy beyond the targets set for them.

More News, Click Here

Under the plan, formulated by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) under the National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency and earlier announced in principle by the PM's climate change council, the government will set mandatory targets to be achieved by each large industrial unit and plant in energy intensive sectors, which include cement, aluminium, steel, power, textiles, fertilizers, railway, paper and pulp industries. The plan, which is to be brought soon before the PM's climate council for the final approval, will set in place the first such open market in the world for energy savings.

Under the global compact on climate change under UN aegis, there exists an international trade in greenhouse gas emission reductions.

But India, which has extremely low emissions as compared to the industrialized countries, has taken the stand that the only steps it needs to take, that too domestically, is to further strengthen its energy security which will automatically bring co-benefits of reduction in the global warming causing emissions.

Named the 'Perform, Achieve and Trade' or PAT scheme, energy reduction targets would be set in terms of the 'specific energy consumption' for each plant individually to ensure that there are no blanket benchmarks that create an uneven turf for different sizes and type of players.

While the methodology for ascertaining the energy consumption in each identified sector has been finalized, it will take a year to ascertain the target for each large unit.

Once the targets are set by end of 2009, the industry will be given three years to achieve them. Those units that surpass their targets will be provided 'energy certificates'. These certificates will be tradable on the existing power exchanges in the country. Companies that fail to meet the targets set for them will have to buy these certificates under an open market mechanism.

If the failed units do not meet their target either by achieving energy savings or by buying the energy certificates, they would be penalized by the government under the Energy Conservation Act.

Under the plan, BEE will accredit private agencies to audit the actual energy consumed by the industrial units and retain the powers to carry out random checks.

Microsoft readies location search engine

Software giant Microsoft Corp has finalised the product design of its Robust Location Search in what seems to be an effort to challenge popular online mapping and location search systems in the market.

More News, Click Here

The project has moved out of Microsoft's labs in Bangalore and into its development centre in Hyderabad. It is all set to be a part of Windows Live, which is the collective brand name given by the IT major to its services and software products.

Srini Koppolu, corporate vice-president and managing director of Microsoft India Development Centre (MSIDC), said the research team has transferred the technology of the project to the development centre and its integration with Windows Live has begun.

"The integration process has started but we can't set a timeframe for its completion," Koppolu said. Microsoft Research India (MSR India) in Bangalore and MSIDC in Hyderabad have collaborated for the Robust Location Search project, which is aimed at making search on maps easy.

Dr P Anandan, managing director, MSR India, said, "This project takes a radically new approach to location search by using keywords to find places rather than commonly used address rules to answer queries."

He said the approach helps get relevant results regardless of the address type and structure, and also enables cross-lingual address searches. The new location search will also look for addresses on maps using the nearest landmarks. 'Instead of specific house numbers, we normally use nearest landmarks to locate an address. The new project would do this accurately and point out such addresses on the map. Even if the user provides a wrong spelling, the location search engine will look for relevant information," Koppolu said.

Microsoft's India teams are also working on various programmes that will become a part of Windows 7, the new operating system being developed for home and business desktops, laptops and tablet and media centre PCs.

One such product under development at MSIDC is Mobile Broadband, which will help Windows 7 users connect to the Internet from any location with cellular connectivity.

MTNL launches Third Generation (3G) services in Delhi

Ushering in a new era in the Indian telecom sector, state-run Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd (MTNL) on Thursday launched the third generation (3G) mobile service 'Jaadu' here.

Communications and IT Minister A Raja, who was present on the occasion, made a video call, demonstrating the capabilities of 3G services.

At the launch event, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said, "I congratulate MTNL and the communications minister for launching the 3G service."

"Competition has to be the major propeller of the Indian economy and it has to be a sustainable one," he said while demonstrating the mobile TV facility available with 3G services.

"However, effective objective and impartial regulations have to be an integral part of all these processes for investors to invest further," he added.

Added Raja, "BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd) and MTNL have already been allotted 3G and broadband wireless access spectrum with a view to ensuring early rollout of 3G and Wi-Max services in the country."

While MTNL has rolled out its 3G services only in Delhi, BSNL will launch its services in Chennai next month.

Talking about the revenues generated through licensing fees and sale of spectrum, Raja said, "After migrating to revenue sharing regime, this sector has contributed Rs 500 billion (Rs 50,000 crore) through licence fee, entry fee and spectrum charges till the end of last financial year."

"During this financial year alone, it is expected that about Rs 160 billion (Rs 16,000 crore) will be collected from the licence fee and the spectrum charges," he added.

The minister also said mobile number portability (MNP) would be implemented in metros and category A circle by the middle of 2009 and the entire country by end of next year.

MNP will enable mobile users to retain their telephone numbers when changing from one network to another. "This will promote competition among service providers," he added.

Business Process Outsourcing - BPOs may lose 2.5 lakh jobs

Business Process Outsourcing firms are likely to see 2.5 lakh job losses by the first quarter of 2009 in the wake of downturn in the US and other developed economies, BPO industry association said.

Though the industry is likely to see thousands of job losses, the silver lining is that the recession would compel more companies in the US and Europe to look at outsourcing as a way to cut costs and improve efficiencies, the Business Process Industry Association of India (BPIAI) President Samir Chopra said.

Praveen Sengar, Head-Software, Services & Industry (Vertical Reserach), IDC India Ltd saidthe slowdown is likely to impact expansion plans of the industry, as the time taken for signing up new clients is taking longer time.

"It will also result in greater consolidation and promote diversification into areas hitherto considered as non-core activities," Sengar said.

Chopra said that urgent government measures are required to boost the industry, specially for the medium and small enterprises.

Both fiscal and administrative measures like extending tax relief for another 5-10 years and export promotion steps, including market development fund is need of the hour, Chopra said.

He further said the terrorist attacks in Mumbai has led to the widespread cancellations of visits and forthcoming international events.

Magic of small budget films fading away

Box office failure of small budget films like "Sorry Bhai!", "Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye", "Maharathi" and "Dil Kabaddi" has broken the myth that small is successful.

More News, Click Here

One after the other the small budget movies are crashing at the box-office, marking doom for their producers. Failures of films have left scars on others associated with these movies, including the actors and writers.

The worst happened during the last two weeks when all the above-mentioned "small-budget" movies -- also including "Meerabai Not Out" -- were released to take advantage of the gap that appeared before the release of the biggies - Shah Rukh Khan starrer "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" and "Ghajini" that has Aamir Khan in the main lead - in the coming weeks and fell flat at the box-office without exception.

After the failure of the movies, the producers, who have made these movies on the periphery of Bollywood, find themselves in a piquant situation. They are startled by the outright rejection of their productions by the audience. Failures have set them thinking as to where they have gone wrong.

"Well, they have gone wrong on many fronts," said Komal Nahata, a trade analyst. "First, they erred on the presumption that the box-office success of the last year's release, 'Bheja Fry', was a harbinger of good times for non-star-cast productions.

"When this small budget movie hit the big time at the box-office, it got many producers thinking that the time had come for them to replicate its success. So, they hurriedly put together their productions without bothering to analyse what, actually, had made 'Bheja Fry' click in the first place.
