Yaadein Lyrics with English Translation

Yaadein Lyrics with English Translation

by Elizabeth Kilgore Jan. 27. 2015

                Yaadein is a longtime favorite song for a lot of people. It goes all the way back to 2001 which is now 13 years ago when the Movie Yaadein came out this song was a hit. At least it was a hit here in the US for me and my friends, and I haven’t met a soul from India, Pakistan, or Iraq who don’t know this song. The song is about life, the memories of life, and the ones that we have loved, miss, or have lost along the way and even the people who will miss us someday. This song carried me through high school, boot camp, MCT, and life. In MCT the troops always have to do “the big hike” which is a hike that seems to last forever. People get injured, can’t finish, and have even break bones on this hike. I sang a lot of songs to lift everyone’s spirits taking song request from anyone who shouted out their favorite tune. Until my partner asked to hear Yaadein after that I ended up singing this song a few times in a throw upon request even if some of them didn’t understand the words they like the song. Needless to say, we were the first troop to pass “the big hike” without losing one person along the way. Over the years I have looked for an English translation that is as beautiful as this song is in Hindi and I still haven’t found one so today I decided to translate the song myself. This is what I understand the translation to mean when I hear this song, and I hope you enjoy it as well, and please leave this world with good memories of you.

Worlds Richest People On The Planet (By Country)

The Richest In Their Country And On The Planet

By Elizabeth Kilgore Jan. 20. 2015


               Have you ever wondered who the richest person in your city is, or maybe who the richest person in your country, or maybe who the richest person on the planet is? Did you know that the number of billionaires has risen by 350% and that there are 1,654 billionaires on this planet to date, and that’s only including the legal ones and the ones who are billionaires on their own and not as a family or as a team? There were only 425 billionaires on the planet at the end of 2012 the rise in numbers is truly shocking. That’s a population hike of 1,229 in only two years, but who are these people, who are the richest, and what did they do to make so much money. To answer all of these questions I have comprised a list of richest billionaires to poorest billionaires and listed them by country.

1.      America


Bill Gates is the planet's richest person on the planet his net worth stands at 81 billion and rising. He is the co-founder of Micro Soft.

2.      Mexico


 Carlos Slim Helu is the chairman of Telimex and America Movil, and he also a conglomerate in Mexico. His net worth is 76 billion, and he was the richest person on the planted.

3.      Italy


Ferrero has to be one of the richest people on the planet. He makes Ferrero Roche, Kinder, and Nutella giving him unbeatable worldwide sales and a net worth of 26.5 billion.

4.      China


Jack Ma just pushed his way all the way up to one of the richest people on the planet. He is the co-founder of Alibaba. He celebrated his new 25 billion net worth on wall-street in New York City.  

5.      Africa


Aliko Dangote is the owner of Dangote Group, he is a self-made 25 billion dollar billionaire.

6.      India


Mukesh Ambani’s net worth is no joking matter his net worth stands a 23.6 billion tall. He is the chairman of Reliance Industries Limited.

7.      Australia


Gina Rinehart the pretty lady on the list is the chairwoman for Hancock Prospecting. Her net worth is a dazzling 20.1 billion.

8.      Japan


Masayoshi Son got his new net worth yesterday which is an amazing 16.6 billion. He is the founder and CEO of Soft Bank, the CEO of Soft Bank Mobile, and the chairman of Sprint Corporation.

9.      France


 Bernard Arnault is the CEO and chairman of Luxury Goods Group LVMH, he’s net worth 14.6 billion.

10.  Malaysia


 Robert Kuok’s profile says he is a business person. He is so good at business that he has made is net worth 12.5 billion doing business. It is said that Robert Kuok’s is very shy and likes to keep his business endeavors as private family matters.  

11.  Russia


Alisher Usmanov would be a 20.2 billion dollar billionaire but it’s unclear if he is in or out of prison. If he is out of prison he is 7th on this list, and you may file the others accordingly.

Why Gas Prices Have Gone Down

The Real Reason

by Elizabeth Kilgore Jan. 16. 2015

"They" could tell you that oil prices have gone down because the price to ship it has lowered. "They" could tell you the drop is because the other countries are selling it cheaper. "They" could tell you a lot of things but that wouldn't change the facts. Gas prices have gone down all over the world. There recently was a series of events that accorded that has lead to the drop in oil prices. Events that haven't been hidden, but if you weren't too interested in oil it could have slipped passed you. We all know the oil business has been on ice for a long time and who is sicker of its inner workings besides the people who buy gas no one really knows, but what you might know is that America and Canada have decided to expand the Keystone Pipe Line. The Keystone Pipeline is an oil pipeline that runs from Canada to America. Here's a map of what it looks like today.
As you can see the pipeline runs from Alberta in Canada to Oklahoma and Illinois in America. The expansion of the keystone pipeline will be called Keystone XL Pipeline and there is the reason for the decrease in gas prices. The new pipeline called Keystone XL Pipeline will run the span of America here's the map that shows what it will look like.

The red dotted line shows the parts of the pipeline that will be added to the pipeline and the parts that will be expanded. Here we see that the pipeline will be added onto in Montana, South Dakota, and Nebraska. The expansion will run through Oklahoma and Texas. Which is good for American oil prices right? Maybe but there is a bigger picture here that some people seem to be missing. In 1975 America made the 1975 oil export ban which bans America for export oil to other countries, but America is trying to have that ban lifted. Why? Take a look at the photo below.

America wants to export gas to Latin America and Europe to help stop the sky-high gas prices that other countries are forced to pay around the world. So there is the answer. The gas prices have lowered because the top oil exporting countries are trying to show America that they don't need the US to export gas. Their hope was that if they lowered the prices that America would stop trying to lift the 1975 oil export ban, and would not export oil to the world. Saudi Arabia even said that a lower price may discourage expansion of the shale oil, but the US is thinking of the long-term effect, effects that would keep oil prices down throughout the whole world for a long length of time not just for two weeks or a month, at least that's what they say. The truth is that America might not have to lift the 1975 oil ban on a technicality. The technicality is that the oil being pumped through the pipeline isn't American oil at all its Canadian oil. That means that American and Canada have partnered up to help ship Canadian oil to the rest of the world. Since American didn't buy the oil they are just supplying the route the oil will take to get to other countries, this means it's not American oil. The 1975 ban only applies to US oil, so the ban doesn't really need to be lifted in order to export Canadian oil.  


Cyber Trolls

Cyber Trolls

Often times I will find myself reading the comments after articles, post, or blogs on the internet more intently then I read the article attached. As a matter of fact, there are times I will only read half of the article or skim through it just to skip to the comments below. There have also been times when I read an article and find that they have locked out the comments so that no one can make a comment and I get so disappointed as I think to myself, "I just wasted all that time reading this article for nothing." There is something I think that draws us at times to read these comments like our lives depend on it. Sometimes we just want to know what other people think, or if anyone agrees with us. I never really leave comments but this force has drawn me in many so times and seems to have this powerful effect on most people. If you are wondering what draws us in and holds us tight between the computer coding of our favorite wed pages I think I have the answer. For me there can only be one explanation TROLLS yep that's right cyber trolls. Those wonderful masters of human manipulation, a con artist of our heart pixels, and those people we just quite frankly love to hate. They keep us up at night reading and commenting, complaining, angry, or laughing out loud. For those of you who don't know who trolls are or what trolling is here's how urban dictionary defines it

Trolling- Being a prick on the internet because you can. Typically unleashing one or more cynical or sarcastic remarks on an innocent by-stander, because it's the internet and, hey, you can. 

playingintheworldgame.wordpress.com

That pretty much sums up how a troll would even define what they do on the internet. I had the great pleaser of meeting a troller in person and they said, "I love to troll the internet and make people angry about nothing." They honestly think it is funny when an innocent bystander or bystanders gets emotional about something that doesn't even make sense or is their made up a comment just to get someone going. They love to try and turn the comments around sometimes to the point of being completely off topic. We know they are out there and yet we still fall victim to them walking right into their luring jaws.

 

Troll mentality

     Trolls are not innocent according to psychologist and in numerous studies done on personalities of "normal" people and people who like to troll. Trolls might tell you they just troll for fun, but in real life, they are nice to everyone, but once again they would be lying to you and maybe even themselves. Trolls are sadist psychopathic narcissists, who go on-line to perform their Machiavellianism on the masses. So why does this lure us in, why do we care so much about what a troll thinks, when sometimes we even know they are trolling. The answer can simply be put into two words social norms.

unearthedcomics.com

Social Norms

Social norms are defined by Princeton.edu as - "the behaviors and cues within a society or group. This sociological term has been defined as "the rules that a group uses for appropriate and inappropriate values, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors."" This is why we feel such a draw to speak out against what we would consider their social injustices. We have our social norms, we have a way in which we like to act and a way in which we would like the people around us to act. In  other words, we want our world to be safe and comfortable, or at least we want to think that it is safe and comfortable. When a troll comes along it shatters our illusions of this world where no one can think that bad, be that bad, and act that bad. Once we realize that they can be just as awful as we fear they can be we then want to speak out against them, because we don't want them to influence anyone else to think and act the way they do. Yes, we know they might be faking it and showing off on the computer trying to make people upset, but on the off chance that they aren't faking it and on the off chance that someone will listen to them and follow in their footsteps we feel like we have to say something.  So if we call them Cyber Trolls I guess we can call the people who defend cyber society against then Cyber Heroes.

Smarter Cars

There Are Smart Cars,

And Then There Are Smarter Cars.

By Elizabeth Kilgore Jan. 11. 2015


Forget this year's cars, forget next years cars, it's all about 2017's cars. Who would have thought that Toyota would make a car that brings everything we love about our smart phones, computer, and our fantasy cars altogether to make the best car on earth. No, no not even on earth more like in the galaxy or in the universe. The image you see above is of the Fun Vii 2017 by Toyota and was unmasked this year as the car of 2017. If you were ever thinking of selling your right arm, left kidney, or even soul for a car this would be the one. Sure when the car is powered down like it is in the photo your thinking well it looks like a futuristic car, arrow dynamic, and dare I say sexy "JUST LOOK AT THOSE RIMS MAN!" If the outside doesn't grip your wheels let me fill up your tank with this not just a concept car. This isn't just a futuristic looking car this is something out of star trek, something that NASA would find on mars. This is a touch screen, app-driven, holographic, social media tiger on wheels. Let me give you some images to dream about for the next two years so I can tell you more about this beast.

Greetings from your new friend 

 "Hello baby" is what you will say when you turn this machine on in the morning, as you look at the outlined glowing reflection the car makes of you on its home screen. There are people who wish their cars could talk to them, and there are people who think their cars talk to them, but this is a whole new level of communication. Don't think for one minute that this is all Fun Vii can do.

Black is the new Chameleon 

 
Writing names and saying hello also leaves rooms for changing the color of the car using photos off of your phone or also from what I'm guessing is preprogrammed colors. Better yet you can use the hand drawing tablet and make your own design or write your name on the car. If that doesn't suit you, you can also place GPS on the side of the car and get updates from your friends letting you know how far away they are. Since there are already cars that can connect to your phone this isn't a hard concept but it certainly takes things to the next level.

 Safer GPS

The Fun Vii is equipped with holographic lets to start by listing the holographic in the photo above.  In the sky of the photo, you can see little holographic boxes with coffee cups and books. These boxes are letting you know what shops are nearby, for example, the coffee cup would be a coffee shop.

Auto Drive

If you look down to the right side of the photo you will see a red box surrounding another Fun Vii car. This is the car telling you and itself that there is an obstacle ahead because the car can also drive itself. If you look down on the dashboard of the car you can see holographic women, this is the auto drive pilot. You can also change the way the autopilot looks, if your not into the whole sci-fi flight attendant thing, she can look more like Leeloo from The Fifth Element.

GPS

If you look at the street you will see a line of green holographic dots. These dots lead the way to where you are going. This way you don't have to look down at the GPS to see where your going which makes driving and finding your destination safer and easier.  

  

  Touch Screen!!!


Apps, apps, apps! This is just too good to be true apps on the side of the car! Now they just turned  a car into a smartphone, a tablet , and a touch screen computer. There are cars Need to charge the car? That's right I said to charge the car, just plug it in and press the app button on the side of the car. Need to see the weather, check your calendar to see where you need to go and what time you need to be there, or want to start the music before you get in the car just tap the app.





In car school, there are three types of cars. There are cars which simply just take you where you need to go, then there are smart cars that have Bluetooth and aux cables, and then there are smarter cars. Smarter cars have everything there is to offer and then a touch more. Any car with holographic on the inside is for sure top of its class. Sick of touch screen apps if you get inside the Fun Vii you can play with the holographic apps and touch holographic computer inside.

Inside 



You can also change the view of the inside of the car by picking different colors and pattern programs. Driving this car is kind of like flying your own personal airplane. Toyota really set the bar high for car manufacturers for the next few years and maybe even decade. This car is not a concept Toyota has actually built this car and many of the features in the car are also not just concepts. If this car is allowed to be sold to the public in 2017 you have a 2-year head start to save money to buy the car. However, Toyota hasn't really given a for sure timeframe as to when this car will be on the market and car companies can not corner the market auto market. So you may have more time to save up for this car than you think. No matter what year this car is released out on the streets it is sure to be a show-stopper.

Bread Winners: Top Richest Companies In The World

The World's 5 Richest Companies

Starting off 2015 with a Bang 

What better way can you start off 2015 then by kicking Apple out of it's long staying number one spot of richest company of the world. Well that's just what Exxon Mobile did, and so far no one is complaining as gas prices are at an all time low and getting lower.  

Exxon Mobile

Exxon Mobile Crop is an American multinational oil and gas corporation that net worth just raised to a whopping 486.429 Billion. Today on Wednesday Jan 7 2015 Exxon mobile knocked Apple out of it's number one spot for top companies in the world. Who does Exxon have to thank for this CEO Rex W. Tillerson who's net worth is 40.3 million but that's sure to go up now seeing as he got a really nice raise last time the company made a major score financially. Last year Tillerson got a 15% raise after leading the company to a 44.9 billion profit last year.

Walmart

 

Walmart is an American multinational retail corporation that's net worth is 446.95 billion. It's no surprise that this companies CEO Robson Walton has a net worth of about 19.7 billion making him the 9th richest person in America.

Chevron

Chevron is yet another American company that is multinational  dealing in energy and standard oil. Chevron's net worth is 253.706. This company got started in 1879 and is active in over 180 countries. Chevron's CEO is John Watson who holds a net worth of 24.7 million. Watson was one of the top paid CEO of 2012.  

Toyota

Toyota Motor Corporation is a Japanese automotive manufacturing company that has family dynasty behind it. This dynasty has made a company that ranks 4th on the world's richest companies list with a net worth of 236 billion. The CEO Akio Toyoda is part of the Toyoda family that has run the company since August 28, 1937. Toyoda's net worth is unknown, which truly leaves a lot to the imagination. In 2008 Toyota ended General Motors 77-year reign and hasn't looked back since.

Apple

Apple is an American multinational corporation with a net worth of 185 billion. Apple's CEO Tim Cook's net worth is 400 million, it is said that Tim Cook's new net worth is 800 million but I couldn't find any proof of that.
