I have a collection of many photographs in my album.
Here I‟m going to describe one in which my cousin and I are standing with our grandparents in our farmhouse.
There is a small round table on which there is a cake.
I remember vividly, it was the golden jubilee celebration of my grandparents.
My aunt baked and iced the cake at home.
She‟s an expert cook. She only clicked the photo.
That‟s why she is not there in the picture.
But her presence can be felt through the cake.
Only the four of us were there in the picture.
Last year when I celebrated my parents silver jubilee, I wished in my heart that I celebrate their golden jubilee too.
The tablecloth which is spread on the table was embroidered by my grandma.
She had a gifted hand in needle and thread work.
Both my grandparents are no more in this world now.
I really treasure this photograph as this brings back nostalgic memories of my childhood.
Now I have a digital camera in which I capture precious moments.
Maybe one day my children will value them.
I like painting and drawing too but can‟t find enough time for these arts out of my busy schedule.

There are various laws imposed by the govt from time to time.
All these laws are for the benefit of the society in general.
Without these laws we would be living in utter chaos.
The law I am going to talk about here is „Ban on smoking in public places‟.
This law was made effective from 2nd October 2008
It is the birth date of father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi
In this law, smoking is strictly prohibited in public places , such as hospitals, courts, bus stops, cinema halls and so on.
If any person is caught smoking in public places, he can be fined Rs. 200
Smoking is very bad for health
It is bad for the smoker and also for the passive smoker.
There are many diseases caused by smoking like
- Lung cancer
- Chest infections like Coughs (bronchitis)
If a pregnant woman does passive smoking then the child can be born with
defects.

“But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned” (Matthew 12:36-37).

We seem to think our words simply fall to the ground and die, or vanish into thin air and dissolve into nothingness. Not so! Our words live on—they do not die!

You may say, “But I only told this gossip to one friend and he promised never to repeat it. It will end with him.” No, it will not! Every single word you and I utter is recorded, written down in eternity, and we will hear them all repeated to us at the judgment.

I recall coming under deep conviction after sharing a vicious bit of gossip with a friend. What I said was indeed true. It was about a moral situation I had had to deal with concerning a minister. His name came up in the conversation and I said, “Don’t trust him. I know something about him!”

Even as I mouthed off, I felt condemned. The Holy Spirit whispered to me, “Stop right there! Nobody needs to know that. Don’t say more, because there’s no purpose to it. Even though it’s true, don’t repeat it!”

What I had already said was bad enough. But then I blurted out the lurid details! I knew I should have been quiet and sure enough, I was deeply convicted by the Holy Spirit. So later I called my friend and said, “I’m sorry, that was gossip. I was out of order. Please don’t repeat it. Try not to even think about it.”

Is my sin covered by the blood of Jesus? Yes, because I fully acknowledged that I had sinned and I allowed the Holy Spirit to show me some of the legalistic pride left in me. I allowed Him to humble me and heal me! Now, whenever I begin to say something against somebody, I obey the Holy Spirit as I hear Him say, loud and clear, “Stop!”

(CNN) -- With the passing of Steve Jobs earlier this month, the tech industry lost one of its most revered icons. So where will the industry turn for inspiration now that Jobs is gone?
New Apple CEO Tim Cook will keep the business cranking along, but he's unlikely to inspire the same kind of devotion as Jobs. Facebook leader Mark Zuckerberg has star power, but he and his company are still too young and untested. At Google, Larry Page is too awkward and Eric Schmidt too slick, and a lot of the company's recent products are too unfinished.
But there's one tech leader who just might fit the bill: Amazon's Jeff Bezos.
Bezos runs his business the same way Steve Jobs ran his, with a relentless focus on long-term value over short-term profits and a willingness to place big bets in seemingly unrelated new areas.
Isaacson gives insight into Jobs' life The difficult side of Steve Jobs Steve Jobs' relationship with daughter The personal side of Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs took Apple on a detour from personal computers into music with the iPod, and then into cell phones with the iPhone. It worked, and made Apple into the biggest and richest tech company in the world.
Jeff Bezos is doing the same thing at Amazon.
About five years ago, Amazon noticed it had a lot of spare capacity in its data centers that was only used during the holiday season. So it started renting out some of that capacity to other companies. Now hundreds of high-profile Internet startups, including big names like Foursquare and Yelp, run their businesses on Amazon Web Services.
Somehow, an online bookseller became the most important provider of "cloud computing" -- a fancy term for running other companies' online services.
In 2007, Amazon introduced its electronic reader, the Kindle. The product limped along for a couple of years, then started to take off in 2010 with the third generation.
But next month Amazon will unveil Kindle Fire, a color version that is more like a full tablet computer, with an app store, music store, video store, and new kind of Web browser designed to load Web pages faster. And it sells for $199, which is hundreds of dollars less than Apple's iPad. No wonder Amazon is having to build millions more than it expected to meet demand.
Somehow, an online bookseller could become one of the dominant players in tablet computing.
Bezos not only resembles Jobs in his business practices. He's also got a lot of the same personal traits.
He's a control freak
Google engineer Steve Yegge, who formerly worked at Amazon, accidentally published a post criticizing his current employer and praising Amazon and Bezos. (The post was supposed to be for Google's eyes only.) He said Bezos was a micromanager who "made ordinary control freaks look like stoned hippies." A Portfolio.com profile in 2009 said Bezos wanted to know the details of every contract Amazon signed and had to sign off on how he was quoted in every press release.
He doesn't like dissent
Bezos often tells employees that they're lucky to work at Amazon and leaves sticky notes reminding them who's in charge if they disagree with him, according to Yegge.
He has otherworldly smarts
In a follow-up post, Yegge explained how Bezos was so smart that you could only impress him in presentations if you deleted every third paragraph to keep his brain occupied -- and even then, he'd figure out something you missed. "People like Jeff are better regarded as hyper-intelligent aliens with a tangential interest in human affairs."
He always wanted to change the world
According to a 1999 profile in Wired, a high school girlfriend says that Bezos wanted to make money from an early age, but not to be rich -- he wanted to use the money to change the future.
He is obsessed with secrecy
Some companies are like leaky sieves -- Hewlett-Packard can't keep an internal secret to save its life, and Google and Facebook products leak all the time. The tech press publishes all sorts of rumors about Apple, but most of them turn out to be wrong because the company places a high premium on secrecy. But Amazon is even more secretive than Apple.
He was born in hard circumstances
Jobs was born to a young mother out of wedlock and given up for adoption. Bezos was born to a teenage mother whose marriage to his biological father lasted little more than a year. (Bezos has his adopted father's last name and considers him his real father, just as Jobs considered his adoptive parents his real parents.)
To be sure, there are some major differences between the two men.
Jobs dropped out of liberal arts college Reed and bummed around for a few years before figuring out what to do with his life; Bezos graduated from Princeton and went straight to work on Wall Street. Jobs had a bit of the California hippie in him, practicing Buddhism and trying natural remedies to cure his cancer; Bezos is more of a classic computer scientist, obsessed with space travel and mechanically adept.
Most important, Amazon hasn't yet created many products that inspire the kind of love that the iPod, iPhone and iPad do. There aren't any Amazon fans -- or at least they're nowhere near as obsessed as Apple's.
But give Bezos another five years and a few more new product areas, and that might change, too.

(Oct 27th 2011） I`m rewriting my last year`s entry. And I feel I made so many mistakes. If you find any correct them please. ★Thanks for reading!★
● Hi~~~Hello~~~!!^^/ How are you all, everybody? Lang-8 friends , did you have a good Sunday? I hope so. What about mine? Yeah~ It was so-so!^^ I was at home all day. (= I was at home the whole day.) A minute ago I had dinner with my husband. It was just a very simple meal. Right now I'm writing an English entry from the day before yesterday's Chinese journal. (The following entry is what I wrote in Chinese on the day before sterday.) (This is my English entry from the day before yesterday.)Please check it and correct my mistakes.(Please check it and correct my mistakes. Thnak you very much!)*
(Oct 29th 2010 23:38 ）Hi,everyone, how are you all? Since I didn't write yesterday in my journal, it seems like it's been such a long time since I've written. Finally today I came here and wrote in my journal. It feels so good to be writing again. Oh, the weather got better. This time I want to talk about a fun thing that happened. Recently one of my Taiwanese friends came to Seoul and has been staying here. Actually, he was planning on going back to Taiwan yesterday, but something unexpected happened, so he has to depart tomorrow. Today I went to school and taught children. He also wanted to go to school with me and wanted to see the Korean childrens' school life. The kids were a little excited that because one foreign uncle had come to watch their studying. So they were not only a bit tense but also excited. It was a good excitement. It was a good experience for him and for me too. I hope that this will be an opportunity for the students to have a dream of one day learning a foreign language. Haha ~~ this one day was a very happy day for all of us.
