Spring again in Netherlands Unbelievably beautiful

At first glance, it looks like a giant child armed with a box of crayons has been set loose upon the landscape. Yet far from being a child's sketchbook, this is, in fact, the northern Netherlands in the middle of tulip season. The Dutch landscape in May is a kaleidoscope of color as the tulips burst into life. The bulbs are planted in late October and early November. More than three billion tulips are grown each year and two-thirds of the vibrant blooms are exported, mostly to the U.S. and Germany

Gangotri – Char Dham...!!!!!

Gangotri (Hindi: गंगोत्री) is a town and a Nagar Panchayat in Uttarkashi district in the state of Uttarakhand, India. It is a Hindu pilgrim town on the banks of the river Bhagirathi. It is on the Greater Himalayan Range, at a height of 3,042 m. The picturesque pilgrimage in the hinterlands of the Himalayas is the most sacred spot where Ganga , the stream of life, touched earth for the first time.According to mythology, Goddess Ganga – the daughter of heaven, manifested herself in the form of a river to absolve the sins of King Bhagirath's predecessors, following his severe penance of several centuries. Lord Shiva received her into his matted locks to minimise the immense impact of her fall. She came to be called Bhagirathi at her legendary source.

Asteroid stronger than '15 atomic bombs' passed earth

Cigar-shaped asteroid stronger than '15 atomic bombs' whizzes by earth 

An asteroid as strong as 15 atomic bombs whizzed past earth last night at just ten times the distance of the moon.


Astronomers first spotted the cigar-shaped rock spinning through space on Monday evening and tracked it.

The star-gazers were baffled by why the asteroid 'blinked' at them until they realised that due to is long shape, the darkness came when it rotated slightly out of view.


Close: Astronomers spotted the asteroid, circled, on Monday and tracked it through space until it passed earth last night

Thankfully, the 50m long rock that could have destroyed a small country went barely noticed as it passed earth at a distance of some 2,085,321 miles.

'Usually, when we see an asteroid strobe on and off like that, it means that the body is elongated and we are viewing it broadside along its long axis first, and then on its narrow end as it rotates,' Don Yeomans from Nasa told news.com.au.

Cosmic: Star-gazers have logged around 3,000 asteroids

'GP59 is approximately 50m long, and we think its period of rotation is about seven-and-a-half minutes. This makes the object's brightness change every four minutes or so.'

Nick James, from Chelmsford, Essex, recorded the newly discovered 'Asteroid 2011 GP59' on Monday night showing the object hurtling across the screen and blinking on and off.


The asteroid, which was recorded with an 11-inch telescope, was around 2,085,321-miles away from Earth - ten times the distance of the moon which is 238,857 miles away.

It was picked up by astronomers at the Observatorio Astronomico de Mallorca in Andalusia, Spain, who've since determined that it's heading towards us.


Last night, the cosmic rock passed earth at a distance of more than two million miles.

But space experts said there was no need to be concerned as direct hit on earth would be highly unlikely.

'There is no possibility of the small space rock entering Earth's atmosphere during this pass or for the foreseeable future,' Yeoman added.

He said that the orbit of the 'Asteroid 2011 GP59' could be accurately plotted.

Astronomers have so far recorded around 3,000 asteroids.

The most recent asteroid is five times bigger than one that exploded over Indonesia in October 2009. 

According to the New Scientist magazine, the Indonesian asteroid was as powerful as three atomic bombs, roughly making the new Asteroid 2011 GP59 the same strength as 15 bombs.

Create HTML Signatures Right Inside Gmail

Gmail Signatures Step-by-Step

Step 1: Go to Gmail Settings –> Labs and enable “Canned Responses” as well as “Inserting Images.”

Step 2: Compose a new message in Gmail and create a signature just like you would compose any other email message. Be creative!

You can either upload logos and icons* from the computer or use images that are already on the web. I suggest the former style as that will permanently embed the image into your email signature.

[*] You can find images of icons through Google Image Search. Go to Advanced options under image search and type 12 for height and width (use 16px if you are looking to add slightly bigger icons). While optional, you may also select the filetype as PNG or GIF for transparent backgrounds - see example.

Step 3: Once your happy with the formatting and layout of your new “HTML signature,” go to the Canned Response menu and Save – give some logical name like “Personal” for a signature that you want to attach to your personal emails
