காற்றும் நீயும், நானும்….

தென்றலே, சுவாசமே, புயலே
என்று வர்ணிக்காத
கவிஞர்கள் இல்லை,
நானும் அந்த வகையறாவில்
சேர்ந்துவிட்டேனோ…

மழை வரும்முன் சிலிர்க்கின்ற
தென்றலாய் வந்தாய்…

மழையோடு புயலையும் சேர்த்து
தந்தாய்…

ஆட்டம் கண்டதில்,
வேருடன் பிடிங்கி
எறியும் அளவிற்கு வீசினாய்…

நீ புயலுக்கு பின் மீண்டும்
தென்றலானாய்…

எந்த ரூபத்தில் வந்தாலும்
திண்மமாய் மாறும்
மனம் கொண்ட்வளே…

நாடியை பிடித்து
உன் தேவையை சொல்கிறேன்,
என் மூச்சாக நீ……

N-Crisis at Japan

In this post, I am posting some information related to Japan Quake followed by Tsunami and Nuclear Crisis.

This post has been published by BBC News.

It appears that for the first time, the containment system around one of the Fukushima Daiichi reactors has been breached.

Officials have referred to a possible crack in the suppression chamber of reactor 2 – a large doughnut-shaped structure, also known as the torus, below the reactor housing.

That would allow steam, containing radioactive substances, to escape continuously.

This is the most likely source of the high radioactivity readings seen near the site in the middle of Tuesday.

Under normal circumstances, the suppression chamber stores a large volume of water that can be used to condense steam produced in the reactor.

The industry newsletter World Nuclear News reports that a “loud noise” came from the reactor chamber, and that “the pressure… was seen to decrease from three atmospheres to one atmosphere after the noise, suggesting possible damage”.

This pressure drop is consistent with the chamber cracking and releasing steam.

Once de-pressurised, material would probably be ejected at a slower rate. This is consistent with the swift fall in readings taken around the plant later in the day.

Another possible source was a fire and explosion in the building housing reactor 4.

At the time of the earthquake, reactors 4, 5 and 6 were shut down for planned maintenance.

During this period, fuel rods are withdrawn from the reactor and stored in a pool – looking like a big swimming pool – in the upper level of the reactor building, outside the containment vessel.

The water keeps them cool, and protects workers below from radiation.

Fuel rods in rapidly-drying pools may be the source of increased radiation levels

The rods may later be placed back in the reactor or taken away for long-term storage and re-processing, depending how long they have already been in service.

An official with the Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco), which owns the station, told BBC News that the cause was believed to be a lack of water in the pool.

This caused the rods to overheat, reacting with steam and generating hydrogen – which then ignited, similar to the earlier blasts in reactor buildings 1, 2 and 3 when hydrogen was vented from the reactor vessel.

But at a news briefing in London, academics were perplexed by the idea.

“The fuel pins in the pond should be totally contained, there should be no damage,” said Laurence Williams, professor of nuclear safety at the University of Central Lancashire.

“If you did have a fire, you’d have the same issues (as in a reactor melt) – you’d have fission gases in the spaces inside the fuel pin, depending on how long the fuel was in there the iodine might or might not be a hazard… overall, I’m quite mystified.”

Kyodo News, the main Japanese news agency, reported that technicians were unable to pump water back into the pool and that helicopters may be used to dump water into the building from the air.

However, according to the US-based Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), the Japanese Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) was working on a different theory – ascribing the fire to an oil leak.

Improvised solutions

The government is clearly concerned about the possible health impact of radioactive material escaping from Fukushima, with Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano recommending: “Please do not go outside. Please stay indoors. Please close windows and make your homes airtight.”

Whatever the precise source of the radioactivity, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported: “Dose rates of up to 400 millisievert per hour (mSv/hr) have been reported at the site.”

Acccording to the World Health Organisation (WHO), the average person’s exposure is 3mSv in a year.

Without knowing the full scope of the release, it is hard to assess the likely impact on health.

There is as yet no comprehensive picture of readings across the wider region – and wind direction is a major factor. Nor is it clear for how long the elevated levels persisted.

The US National Institutes of Health notes that a dose approaching one sievert (1,000mSv) would certainly induce radiation sickness.

But in the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, some workers who received doses above this level are still alive.

Whether there is a straightforward relationship between exposure and cancer risk remains unclear, with some experts believing low levels do not have an impact.

It also depends which substances are involved. A major risk is when the body absorbs and stores substances such as radioactive iodine, which leads to prolonged, internal exposure.

Experts at the London briefing were keen to put the maximum risk in context.

“Even if the worst does happen, if we do have a significant containment breach, we’re absolutely not looking at another Chernobyl,” said Professor Malcolm Sperrin, director of medical physics and clinical engineering at Royal Berkshire Hospital.

“We’re looking at volumes that will be distributed in the air,and the dose downwind is going to be very low – and the wind now is over the sea.”

And Richard Wakeford, visiting professor in epidemiology at the University of Manchester, said Japanese authorities had acted quickly and wisely – unlike Soviet authorities at the time of the Chernobyl disaster.

“They evacuated people early in case there were a release, because the principal concern would be the radioactive iodine,” he said.

“The Soviet authorities were in denial – they didn;t move people out, they didn’t stop children drinking milk – and even then, the only indication of this is an excess in thyroid cancers, which would not have happened if authorities had issued iodine tablets and stopped people eating the food.”

Improvising solutions

In the meantime, the key task for workers at the plant remains to get enough water into the reactors – and, now, into the spent fuel pools – with the poor resources at their disposal.

Among all the news coming out of Fukushima from the Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco), the nuclear safety agency, and local and national authorities, there has hardly been a mention of new equipment arriving at the site.

That implies that technicians are still working with water pumps designed for putting out fires and an improvised technique based on the turbine hall’s fire extinguishing system.

The Tepco official confirmed that most of the station’s staff have been evacuated, with only about 50 remaining on site.

If the suppression chamber in number 2 building has cracked, the positive side is that it could make the job of cooling the reactor easier.

At times, technicians have struggled to force water into the reactor vessel simply because the pressure inside was too great. The downside is that the water will turn to steam more easily at a lower pressure.

We live on earth!. But still we can’t see it (as a whole).

In school days, we have studied geography etc., about our earth and how it looks. Human’s foreseeing thoughts make us to see the current view of our earth. You might have come across Google Earth. Yesterday I have found a great website for current view of our earth.

http://www.fourmilab.ch/earthview/satellite.html

This is the great site to view the Earth as currently seen from a satellite in Earth orbit. Here is some of the views I have captured.

From INSAT satellite……

Here we go!

View from 35764 km above 15°N 73°E - INSAT 4CR

Here is the procedure to see the view of earth.

Go to the link that I have provided.

Choose the satellite from the list given and press the “View Earth from Satellite” button.

The satellite database is updated regularly (but may not reflect the current position of satellites).

I hope I have provided some useful information to you. I am eagerly waiting for your comments.

Inception

The literal meaning of Inception is “Beginning” or Origin. I got an opportunity to watch Inception. I sometimes wanted to be a reviewer. Even though I thought I could post my views and thoughts on “Madarasapattinam“. Well. This is my first of its kind.

What is it all about? Is it just a Hollywood Box office? Nope. You might have come across many reviews and previews of Inception. What am I going to tell you a new thing?

Hmmm. Have dreamt tonight? (Oh Yesterday night!!!)… Do you think you have been part of the dream that happened nowhere what you have thought of. Or else you are in some worlds that never exist….

Lucid Dream – It is a (mostly) kind of dream that happens in 90 minutes interval of deep sleep. You will feel that you have been part of the dream world activity and playing many characters in your mind. Many people may not remember most of the things happened in dream. We must used to it. Store it. Researchers say you can make a same dream to come alive if it is remembered properly. Dream will be lost until some kick of happens in that dream action.

My starting of this writing is not coherent right? Dream? Is it organized? Is it has starting point and ending point? Mathematically there are some structures which are impossible to build. Those are called impossible structures or Penrose architectures. They are not having any starting and end points

The film is about “Dream”. The main character is a Dream stealer with his well equipped team that steals idea from people using “Dream Space“. He is assigned to complete a task of inserting an idea to the mind of heirs of a business tycoon. So the project is called Inception. His team denies this project initially but they are taking this as a challenge. Dream stealer acquires a college student architect for this project. She has to design a even a single piece of elements in dream world. Remember it is all just thinking! Director makes viewers to believe that dream world has no starting and ending. In a scene, Architect folds the world and makes the infinite Bridge as a part of dream world.

They plan the work to be in three levels. That is Dream within dream.  When they are in third level, they found that they have failed to insert the idea to the target. Fourth level is found and Dream stealer has to reveal that Inception was already done by him. He has inserted a dream world to his wife. But she is not able to come out of the fantasy world, so suicide herself to bring her back to real world. Still she is not able to recover from dream, she again suicide herself really. That’s the real touch part of the film.

Dream stealer wants to go back to his native home and live peacefully with his children. Now after a four level dreaming, team is back to the place where the Inception started. Now, Dream stealer joins with his children. Oh no, Do you know that there is no object in dream will not fall! they used to keep the so called totems to check whether they are in dream or real world. Film ends with open ending, the totem is about to fall down but not exactly!!

Feel like the Head ache started. People are very much appreciating this one, because of its complex nature of storytelling. You need to imagine and think yourself. Of course the film will. In Tamil it is like Aayirathil Oruvan. Even Avatar is failed to make it as it was felt like animation film.

Human mind is unstoppable. It is the only thing that is new in this world. Particularly saying, the director has referenced many existing things. But soon he thinks beyond out of box. That is dreams help you to find the answers…

You can remember “You have to dream before your dreams can come true.” by A.P.J. Abdhul Kalam.

Actually I found an answer for a mathematical problem while I was sleeping, would you believe it.

Of course! See you in dream.

One of my favourite song…

கடலினில் மீனாக இருந்தவள் நான்
உனக்கென கரை தாண்டி வந்தவள் தான்
துடித்திருந்தேன் தரையினிலே
திரும்பிவிட்டேன் கடலிடமே

ஒரு நாள் சிரித்தேன்
மறு நாள் வெறுத்தேன்
உனை நான் கொல்லாமல்
கொன்று புதைத்தேனே
மன்னிப்பாயா மன்னிப்பாயா
மன்னிப்பாயா

கண்ணே தடுமாறி நடந்தேன்
நூலில் ஆடும் மழையாகி போனேன்
உன்னால் தான் கலைஞனாய் ஆனேனே
தொலை தூரத்தில் வெளிச்சம் நீ
உனை நோக்கியே எனை ஈர்க்கிறாயே
மேலும் மேலும் உருகி உருகி
உனை எண்ணி ஏங்கும்
இதயத்தை என்ன செய்வேன்

ஓடும் நீரில் ஓர் அலைதான் நான்
உள்ளே உள்ள ஈரம் நீதான்
வரம் கிடைத்தும் தவர விட்டேன்
மன்னிப்பாயா அன்பே

காற்றிலே ஆடும் காகிதம் நான்
நீதான் என்னை கடிதம் ஆக்கினாய்
அன்பில் தொடங்கி அன்பில் முடிக்கிறேன்
என் கலங்கரை விளக்கமே

அன்பிற்கும் உண்டோ அடைக்குந்தாழ்
ஆர்வலர் புன்கண்நீர் பூசல் தரும்

அன்பிலார் எல்லாம் தமக்குரியர்
அன்புடையார் என்பும் உரியர் பிறர்க்கு

புலம்பல் என சென்றேன்
புலினேன் நெஞ்சம் கலத்தல் உருவது கண்டேன்

ஏன் என் வாழ்வில் வந்தாய் கண்ணா நீ
போவாயோ கானல் நீர் போலே தோன்றி
அனைவரும் உறங்கிடும் இரவெனும் நேரம்
எனக்கது தலையணை நனைத்திடும் நேரம்



As on today, most of us are not using proprietary software. Frankly saying, even windows OS itself that we are using is pirated version. The first reason is “Cost of the software”. When compared to US $ dollars, in India, we are not affordable to buy the most of the software.

A question arise, why don’t you use open source. Oh… this post is not a war between so called ‘open source’ and ‘closed source’.

Well, Lemme come to the point.

Do you want any software, technical tools, software keys, any tricks related to windows…?

You got some problem on PC?

Post your queries here in comments. I will provide some possible solutions ASAP.
(PS: I cannot put the keys directly here, since there might be some copyright issues. So post the comment in this blog. I will check and reply you accordingly.)

Welcome to My thoughts. This is my first post on the internet. Mostly when I browse, if necessary I will put comments. After a long thinking, I decided to put my thoughts in a way of writing. So here is my blog. This blog is not limited to the content. I would like to share what I gained over all of my life and place it here for your visit. You can post your queries and ideas.
