"The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking...the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker."

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."

"The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge."


"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts." (Sign hanging in Einstein's office at Princeton)

what is Tag cloud ?

Definition
A word cloud of the content of this article.
A tag cloud is a set of related tags with corresponding weights. Typical tag clouds have between 30 and 150 tags. The weights are represented using font sizes or other visual clues. Meanwhile, histograms or pie charts are most commonly used to represent approximately a dozen different weights. Hence, tag clouds can represent many more weights, though less accurately so. Also, frequently, tag clouds are interactive: tags are hyperlinks typically allowing the user to drill down on the data.

History

The first use of tag clouds on a high-profile website was on the photo sharing site Flickr created by Flickr co-founder and interaction designer Stewart Butterfield. That implementation was based on Jim Flanagan's Search Referral Zeitgeist, a visualization of Web site referrers. Tag clouds have also been popularized by Del.icio.us and Technorati, among others.

The first published appearance of a tag cloud (or at least a weighted list) can be attributed to the "subconscious files" in Douglas Coupland's Microserfs (1995).

Prior to weighted list representation of tag clouds, paper maps had used the concept of weighted font size and font weights to represent relative size or importance of towns and cities.

Visual appearance

A data cloud showing stock price movement. Color indicates positive or negative change, font size indicates percentage change.

Tag clouds are typically represented using inline HTML elements. APML (Attention Profiling Markup Language) is often used to store and import/export Tag Clouds. The tags can appear in alphabetical order, in a random order, they can be sorted by weight, and so on. Some prefer to cluster the tags semantically so that similar tags will appear near each other. Heuristics can be used to reduce the size of the tag cloud whether or not the purpose is to cluster the tags.

Converting unsupported audio format

Many common audio formats cannot be played on Ubuntu without the installation of additional software. This is due to legal restrictions.

Unfortunately, due to legal restrictions and technical issues with some common audio formats, Ubuntu cannot play certain audio formats out-of-the-box. While support for certain restricted formats can be added after you have installed Ubuntu, it can be advantageous to convert audio files to a well-supported format. This is especially important if the files have been encoded using some form of Digital Rights Management (DRM) software, as DRM restrictions can render files unplayable in all applications but the one in which they were applied.

The following major audio formats are proprietary and so are not supported by default in Ubuntu:

* MP3
* WMA
* AAC
* RealAudio

For a well-supported audio format to replace MP3 and WMA, consider the Ogg Vorbis format. For a well-supported lossless (very high quality) format to replace AAC Lossless and WMA-VBR, consider the FLAC format. Both of these formats are open, and can be played in Ubuntu without the installation of any additional software.

There are many audio conversion applications for Windows available for download, and some of these can be obtained free of charge. These applications are also sometimes referred to as audio (re)encoders. Your choice of application depends on the formats which you wish to convert from and to. See websites such as Download.com for a list of potentially useful applications.

It is still possible to add support for many restricted formats (such as those listed above) to Ubuntu after installation. See the Restricted Formats document on the Ubuntu community support website for more information.

who will be the next chief minister of chhattisgarh?

All in Chhattisgarh are thinking who next? We have seen only two Chief Ministers in Chhattisgarh and the later has failed in fulfilling all hopes at all fronts, simply because he fails to have the first prerequisite to become a CM, the vision.

The point I want to make is, ours is a new state with great expectations and huge potential, and it thus requires to be ruled by someone with a great vision, excellent executioner’s skills, and an ability to think rationally and innovatively.

Love can change everything

Love can change everything you have known. Everything you believe with this feeling shown. A heart beating faster can make two people fly. Make you walk on water in the twinkle of an eye. It takes control of the heart, mind, body and soul. They fit that place deep inside to make you whole. The elements together fire, earth, water and air. Are nothing without love, in it they all share. Without the one you love there is nothing it seems. Together the strength can make hopes and dreams. A feeling so breathtakingly gentle lifts you up above
