Nokia X hacked, Google apps installed

 Nokia X, part of the company's recently announced series of smartphones that run a heavily modified version of Android, has been hacked to run the Google Play Store and key Google services.

While Nokia has replaced key APIs and services including Google's Maps and application marketplace with its own apps and Microsoft's services, an XDA forum member, Kashamalaga, has posted a way to root the Nokia X so that it could run the Google launcher, Play Store and other Google apps including Gmail and Maps.

One of the reasons why the apps work is that Nokia has apparently left the application framework untouched in order to allow apps from third-party app stores work on the phone.

Nokia has mentioned on its official SDK page that the phone will be able to run around 75%Android apps without any modifications. Developers only need to make changes if their apps use Google services for push notifications, maps or in-app payments.

It's worth pointing out that rooting (rooting allows applications to run system commands that are usually blocked by device makers) the phone will void its warranty. Also, unlike Android, Google's own suite of apps are not open source, so technically, it's not legal.

With the Nokia X series, the handset giant is targeting the budget segment, trying to leverage Android's app ecosystem, which is comparatively richer than Windows Phone. It's also worth noting that Nokia's handsets division has been acquired by Microsoft and the transaction will be complete in a few weeks. It's not clear if Microsoft will continue with the X-series as it runs an OS developed by its arch rival, Google.

Can science create a man ?

RESEARCHERS BUILD ARTIFICIAL MUSCLE USING FISHING LINE

A team of researchers in Dallas has created an artificial muscle that is 100 times more powerful than a human muscle. What’s even more intriguing is that the muscle was built using twisted fishing line.

According to NY Daily News, international researchers, made up of scientists at the University of Texas, found that common nylon materials can used to make super strong artificial muscles that react to temperature changes.

The muscles were made by twisting the nylon threads. Once the muscles were coiled into a spiral they tightened at a warmer temperature and loosened up when the temperature cooled, much like real muscles.

NY Daily News reported that the coiling process is actually quite minor. It is all about how much tension and weight you apply to the thread when you are twisting.

According to The Palm Beach Post Dr. Ray Baughman, who lead the research team, said, "The application opportunities for these polymer muscles are vast ... Today's most advanced humanoid robots, prosthetic limbs and wearable exoskeletons are limited by motors and hydraulic systems…” This discovery will lead to many opportunities.

GOOGLE STREET VIEW COMES TO INDIA

 KNOW THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THE PROJECT 

Recently, Google Inc launched an initiative to take Street View of over 100 monuments India, including Taj Mahal and Humayun's Tomb.

Google Street View is a technology featured in Google Maps and Google Earth that provides panoramic views from positions along many streets in the world. It was launched on May 25, 2007, in several cities in the United States, and has since expanded to include cities and rural areas worldwide. It has also photographed Dubai's iconic Burj Khalifa Towers, Mount Everest and Eiffel Tower.

In India, The Street View was introduced in October 2013, with Qutub Minar being the fast addition in the long list of cities and places of importance featured in The Google Street View.

The project started in the city of Bangalore, but hit rough weathers after city police objected the photography on grounds of security reasons.

So, how does Google manages to create a 360 degree panoramic view?

The technology behind Google Street View involves a long and tedious task of taking thousands of photographs of the place which is going to be a part of Google Street View. The photographs are taken via a specially designed camera mounted on the top of a car or strapped across the back of a person.

The camera is then made to travel along with the car/person around the intended location and simultaneously clicks thousands of pictures. These pictures are then sequenced together to create a 360 degree panoramic view of the place.

Google has used three types of car-mounted cameras to take Street View photographs. Generations 1–3 were used to take photographs in the United States. The first generation was superseded and images were replaced with images taken with 2nd and 3rd generation cameras. Second generation cameras were used to take photographs in Australia. The shadows caused by the 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation cameras are occasionally viewable in images taken in mornings and evenings. 

The new 4th generation cameras will be used to completely replace all images taken with earlier generation cameras. 4th generation cameras take near-HD images and deliver much better quality than earlier cameras. Even though 4th generation cameras were in use as early as April 2008, Google used older cameras for many areas as late as October 2009 for Street View and as late as September 2010 for Museum View.

In October 2008, Google introduced the Street View Trike, a pedal tricycle with a 4th generation camera mounted to take images where cars cannot reach, including footpaths and dirt tracks. The 250-pound, 9-foot long tricycles are piloted by athletes. All Street View images taken now will be taken with the 4th generation Street View cameras.

In February 2010, Google introduced the Street View Snowmobile, a snowmobile with a 4th generation camera mounted to take images on the Whistler Blackcomb Ski Slopes in preparation for the winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada.

Google plans to use 4th generation cameras to re-shoot areas previously covered by earlier versions. Google uses the open-source cameras from Elphel for capturing Street View photos.

THE THEORY OF SPIRIT

As we know, live and dead are declared based on the presence of soul in one’s physical body.

And sometimes the soul travels out of body and can re-enter to its own, if and only if it happens so soon.

For example, Defibrillation, Doctors applying electric shock to restart the heart.

And where the souls probably go to? The answer is unknown but we can predict that, clearly say, Guess that.

Soul is just like a flame. (Consider)

It can create from some kind of energy yet to be unknown.

It can be spread and all it need is an entity to live on and our soul now selects our physical body.

After your body gets tired or old, your soul will look for a new one.

And in case your soul is so malevolent, it turns out to be a terrific ghost and look for another one’s entity to live on in this world.

In case your soul need peace, it enters in to the globe of soul where all its memories from this world will be vanish off and let your soul be a pure one.

You can ask where the globe of soul is. It is all around us but we can’t see it yet. By adding or taking the souls its size never changes. As I told you it is like a globe of fire.

Consider a baby born and in case the soul is taken from the globe of soul it got no memories of the previous birth of its souls.

The GOD.

 And let the controller or creator or producer or anything of those souls or who created this system might possess the power obviously more than us and I name him as GOD.

His job is not to count your days left and take away your soul from this physical world absolutely on your last day of your life.

The only thing he knows is to do things with souls.

Everyone knows about EXORCISM.

When an entity is affected by an expired soul which is not relevant to that entity and tries to live on that, people go for Exorcism, and in that case not anyone can threat the expired soul from the affected entity. The soul must be in is original or well shape to do so.

How to shape one’s soul?

Normal people are very easy to do things with the order ideas generated from their brain. For example people addicted to drugs are having shape-out souls. That is because they can’t control their own mind.

Persons who are all can control their own mind and practice on concentration can possess that capability to extend the control over the other people’s soul or possibly can do exorcism.

Take Muslims, most of their people are having very strong belief  in their religion and able to control their own physical body and make pure soul. Thus their soul gets into a shape by time and many of them are very good in doing exorcism.

And in many cases the entity with fear or shaped-out soul can be easily tortured by the expired souls which need a physical body to live on this earth for any reason.

Again come to god.

God has nothing to do with ghosts.

Actually ghosts are also souls as same as we have.

They just want to live on any other entity.

Only the brave or well-shaped soul can save the affected entity from the horrible soul.

And there is no Satan or no God. The only thing in this universe is our souls.

There are four kinds of souls.

·        Pure soul

·        Shape-out soul

·        Expired soul

·        Well-shaped soul

Pure souls: they are presented with the normal people and cannot be affected by expired soul (cannot be haunted) and unable to control any other souls.

Shape-out souls: they are easily affect by the expired souls and can be controlled by the Well-shaped souls.

Expired souls: they are dead soul who are not ready to vanishing their memory from them and try to live on again. So they are often tries to enter into another entity’s physical body and the reason may be anything.

Well-shaped soul: they are very pure and good souls, their souls are with no such dirt things. That may be due to good meditation or concentration or religious belief or anything, the one who can control his brain, wish and live with extreme belief in him or any other object can possess the power over the Shape-out souls and Expired souls.

And surly no one named god is up there and watching the activities of each and every human’s activity and write their future according to that.

No one is able to watch billions of people’s life.

And the god stated here is a created one.

You can do anything, such as doing a crime and can evade. God won’t poke into your eyes.

Humans just relate the irrelevant things like, good things occurs because of the good thing we did in our past.

And in same way, bad things occur because of the bad thing we did in our past.

And from childhood itself it is stated that “if you do bad things you will be punish by god”. But never god shown himself and punishes the criminals.

There is no use of praying a non-exited person.

Especially in Muslim’s religion they are praying with closed eyes and that is some sort of meditation. With the extreme level of that praying, one’s soul can be easily shaped well. Even with yoga or meditation also one can achieve that state. No such well-shaped souls can be affected by the expired souls.

Why I say this is because the God is the one which brings the diversity here and cause lot of pains to innocent peoples.

Without any clear knowledge about the god this phenomenon of spirit, this state of “every kind of people have their own God”, will be continued and sure this will end in no good things.

Please share and make aware.

Do you know why January 1 as First day of the year ?

THE HISTORY BEHIND JANUARY 1 AND APRIL 1

            Everyone knows January 1 as very first day of the year. But few only know that before 1564 April 1 was the first day of the year.

            This change is made to establish a universally accepted calendar called Gregorian calendar or Western Calendar. And the people who celebrated the 1^st of April as New Year were called as Foolish by the British people and the day was popularly known as the April fool’s Day.

            During this change over the calendar system of some countries some days has to be omitted. This omission is made to it did not correctly reflect the tropical year or solar year marked by Earth's revolution around the Sun. To get back in step with astronomical reality, a number of days were dropped in the new calendar, creating irregular months with only 18 days and odd dates like February 30.

                  Like UK some other countries also dropped some days and few of them are listed below.

Year	Country	Number of days dropped
1582	France (most areas) Italy Poland Portugal Spain	10 days
1583	Austria Germany (Catholic states)	10 days
1587	Hungary	10 days
1610	Germany (Prussia)	10 days
1752	Canada (most areas) United Kingdom (and colonies) United States (most areas)	11 days
1872/1873	Japan	12 days
1911/1912	China	12 days
1916	Bulgaria	13 days

Ancestor's Nazca Lines. Amazing one.

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT NAZCA LINES?

        

   The Nazca Lines are a series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. They were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. The high, arid plateau stretches more than 80 kilometres (50 mi) between the towns of Nazca and Palpa on the Pampas de Jumana about 400 km south of Lima. Although some local geoglyphs resemble Paracas motifs, scholars believe the Nazca Lines were created by the Nazca culture between 400 and 650 AD. The hundreds of individual figures range in complexity from simple lines to stylized hummingbirds, spiders, monkeys, fish, sharks, orcas, and lizards.

The lines are shallow designs made in the ground by removing the reddish pebbles and uncovering the whitish/grayish ground beneath. Hundreds are simple lines or geometric shapes; more than seventy are zoomorphic designs of animals such as birds, fish, llamas, jaguar, monkey, or human figures. Other designs include phytomorphic shapes such as trees and flowers. The largest figures are over 200 metres (660 ft) across. Scholars differ in interpreting the purpose of the designs, but in general they ascribe religious significance to them. Other theories have been summarized as follows:

"The geometric ones could indicate the flow of water or be connected to rituals to summon water. The spiders, birds, and plants could be fertility symbols. Other possible explanations include: irrigation schemes or giant astronomical calendars.”

Due to the dry, windless, and stable climate of the plateau and its isolation, for the most part the lines have been preserved. Extremely rare changes in weather may temporarily alter the general designs. As of recent years, the lines have been deteriorating due to an influx of squatters inhabiting the lands.
