“Rags to riches” is a very commonly known phrase used to those who were in a difficult life once but have become famous and rich. Here, we are going to see some of the most popular people of the world who were once in poverty or a very hard life. What I want to share with you here is that many great people of the world were once very weak and they have become great because of their determination, hard work and will power. When I think of this, I believe the world is a great place to live because any person can become great and powerful no matter how weak or poor he was in his past.

This is a great inspiration for all of us and I think that you should never give up your dreams for nothing because all it takes to be successful is will, determination and hard work. To make you even better, I’ll share with you some of the greatest people of our time like Bill Clinton, Tom Cruise, and Oprah etc. For a bigger list of such people, you might want to see the Wikipedia page on Nouveau Riche. In fact, I do believe that people who had a rough life in childhood is tougher and can challenge tougher problems. Now, talking about Nouveau Riche which means “new rich” in French, we see some of the richest people of the 1990s. The Nouveau Riche as listed in the CNN site has the list of the richest people of the world in the year 1991.

Now, if you see these people and their early life history, you will know that most of them had a rough early life which makes them strong and tough. They have a strong determination and will power that enables them to overcome the biggest hurdles of all time. Now, aren’t you inspired by them? It’s not about having a rough life that’s important. It’s about their strong feeling of determination, will power and hard work which they developed in their early life. But you can also develop that spirit if you try it today and never give up for anything. Be a strong, highly determined person and work hard and you will be like them some day.

Till yesterday, I have never downloaded a video from youtube. Once, I was looking for a youtube downloader but it never worked even after i downloaded the software. But yesterday, a friend of mine just came and downloaded a youtube video in minutes. I was amazed and said “Damn! What a Great Site?”.

Where does this “Great Site” come from? Well, my youtube downloader is not actually a software but a site. So, you don’t have to download a software before you download the video. All you have to do is to make a simple change in the url of the youtube video you want to download.

Ok Ok, just tell me what to do! Well, its easy. Just go to the video page of the video you want to download in youtube. In the address bar, the url must be something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxxxx where xxxxxxxxxxx is some random string. Now, change the url by replacing the “youtube” by “voobys” so that the new url becomes http://www.voobys.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxxxx and hit enter. Thats it! On the page that opens, there will be a Download button and when you click it, your video will be downloaded. Isn’t it easy that those buggy softwares that you have tried installing till now. Well, try it and you will see the difference.

In the past few weeks, it has come to the attention of the people of Manipur (India) and the state government that a local plant, which they refer to as the “Ranlung damdawi”, might be capable of curing cancer. From the references of the people, the plant can cure cancer-like diseases and many other diseases including sinusitis, tumors, asthma, piles and body aches.

The plant had been used as a traditional medicinal plant by the inhabitants of the Saikot Village. Chawlien Hmar, an 82 yrs old inhabitant of the village, discovered the curing capability of the plant only a few weeks ago. Before he discovered this valuable plant, a tumor on his neck had been diagnosed as Cancer and he was prescribed to undertake medical treatment which he couldn’t pursue because of financial shortage. With frustration, he tried this traditional plant used by forefathers for medicinal uses. He made a potion of this plant and applied it to the tumor on his neck. Amazingly, the size of the tumor reduced rapidly and finally it had completely vanished from his neck. All of this happened so quickly within a few hours that the news had been spread to all the local people.

Afterwards, many people started taking this plant for various diseases other than tumors. A few weeks later, a team of scientists from the Institute of Bioresource and Sustainable Development (IBSD) collected specimens of this locally grown herb in a village in Manipur and claimed to have properties to cure cancer. The team led by Project Coordinator Mohindro Singh Khaidem and including Natural Product Scientist Ch. Brajakishore had confirmed the plant as Croton Caudatus Geiseler.

Prof. Potsangbam Kumar had also identified the composition of the plant. According to his reports, the leaves of the plant contain Crotoflorine (a phynolic substance), Crostsparimine (a new base mop) and Sparsiflorine (an alkaloid substance). And the roots and stems contain Dotriacontamol Beta amyrine and Beta sitosterat which are used in treating cancer related ailments as per the reports from the Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow. The team has also proposed the state and central government the extreme need for its extensive cultivation. Many of the experts will be working on further research. They have also given credit to Hmar for the discovery of this anti-cancerous plant.

Well, what do you think? Give your comments here if you have anything to share. By the way, I think the World Health Organization needs to have a little attention on this plant as it is grown in the Saikot village widely and can be used for very cheap cancer treatment. Why depend on the costliest cancer medicine if you have a free plant that can cure cancer in no time?

Myspace, orkut etc are blocked by internet service providers in many areas like schools, colleges and work areas. Such blocked sites can however be easily unblocked using new proxies. Web proxies are designed so that users will be able to hide the sites they visit from the internet service providers. However, not all proxies work with myspace and orkut. So, users need specific proxy sites for specific uses like myspace proxy sites and orkut proxy.

Even though a simple proxy server can easily unblock sites in these areas, the need for new proxy is also inevitable because of the increasing blockage of old proxies by the internet service providers. Older proxies get blocked and newer proxies are required everyday. So, for continuous supply of new proxies, users can subscribe to a new proxy list mailer or simply visit a site like myipproxylist.com.
