My husband and I have 3 boys, aged 7, 5 and 3. We learn to be better parents by interacting and communicating with them. We experience a lot of joys in our parenting. I am working with children. I like to organize programs and workshops for children to improve their self esteem, cope with their emotion and develop their confidence.

Parenting is a challenging experience. Parents will constantly face a lot of challenge from your children. They would like to know whether you are firm enough to enforce the rules and compassion enough to understand their feelings. When you can address to their feelings, a lot of problems will be resolved. However, if you neglect or ignore their feelings, a lot of problems will surface.

Parents are coaches to children to express their emotions in a safe way. With the clear and safe boundaries, the children will feel secure and safe.

Ghostly Gear: Technology Tools for Paranormal Investigations

How do you catch a ghost? Not with an iPhone—at least not yet. Paranormal investigators employ an unusual array of equipment: Favorite gadgets range from the simple—thermometers and carpenter's levels—to the complex and expensive—infrared thermal cameras and ultrasonic listening devices.

Thermometers and Thermal Scanners
Thermometers have been used for decades in paranormal investigations, as cold spots are said to be clues to the locations of supernatural beings, says Loyd Auerbach, founder and director of the Office of Paranormal Investigations.

Simple temperature gauges like the ones you might hang outside your back door can be set up in separate areas of a home or other locations to monitor temperature and detect sudden changes. But experienced ghost hunters employ digital thermometers with built-in alarms and memory to record minimum and maximum temperatures. The alarms can alert investigators to drastic temperatures changes, so that they don't need to remain in a single spot to monitor shifts. These gadgets, which sell for about $40, also show the historical range of normal temperatures.

Some ghost hunters also swear by thermal scanners—thermometers that use infrared technology to measure temperatures at a distance. Most of these gizmos look like bulky, plastic guns that you point at an area (perhaps across a room) to gauge temperature. But you need a surface against which the infrared laser can bounce. So if you're looking for a reading in the middle of a room, you must purchase an even more expensive scanner that works with a moveable probe and receiver. Typical point-and-shoot thermal scanners run from $100 to $200.

EMF Meters

TriField EMF Meter
Electromagnetic Field (EMF) meters measure levels of electromagnetic radiation—which ghost hunters believe apparitions emit. This radiation originates from a wide variety of sources, including the earth, people, electronics and power lines. Different EMF meters gauge radiation levels at different frequencies, so some investigators choose to carry multiple meters.
The meters often look like large, handheld computing devices with small displays and various knobs to adjust settings as you pace around an area. One commonly used EMF meter, the Trifield Natural EM Meter, goes for $170, but some high-end industrial EMF meters will run you several thousand dollars.

Cameras and Video Recorders

Canon EOS Digital SLR Camera
Vince Wilson, author of Ghost Science: The Essential Guide to the Scientific Study of Ghosts and Hauntings, and Ghost Tech: The Essential Guide to Paranormal Investigation Equipment, calls his digital SLR camera the most valuable tool in his ghost hunter's arsenal—though other ghost hunters say the value of photographic or digital images in this pursuit is debatable. Some paranormal investigators believe that ghosts cannot be photographed at all and that the true value of photographic and video recording equipment is in capturing witness testimony and documenting locations. Wilson believes a combination of audio and video will eventually convince the public of the existence of ghosts.

Auerbach warns against the use of traditional digital cameras like the ones found in cell phones and other devices, because their lenses and flashes are often extremely close together. A flash that's too close to the lens will leave noticeable markings that could be mistaken for "orbs" or other signs of the paranormal, he says. Digital video recorders (DVRs) can also be extremely valuable to ghost hunters—not and just for capturing images of specters. Such devices can be set up in rooms and left there to see if objects move without apparent cause.

Four-Channel Samsung DVR
Wilson uses a 4-channel, 160GB Samsung DVR, or a comparable device, because it can be set to note whenever it detects movement in pixels—a feature that eliminates the need for investigators to view hours of blank tapes. The $200 Samsung machine also connects to as many as four different cameras or video sources simultaneously, to capture various angles of the same space.

Paranormal investigators with deep pockets may also employ infrared thermal vision cameras (made by vendors such as Flir Systems) in their research, though these devices can cost upwards of $10,000. Infrared thermal vision cameras capture video pictures in which each pixel is, in effect, a tiny thermometer.

Motion and Sound Detectors

Motion sensors can alert paranormal investigators to movement in unoccupied rooms. Since ghosts are believed to be ethereal, spirits wouldn't likely set off a motion detector alarm, Auerbach says, but objects they might influence or move potentially could. Convenience stores and small shops often employ motion detectors with chimes to notify staffers of when a customer has entered: Such gadgets retail for as little as $27, though low-end models usually attach to a wall and can only detect movement directly in front of their sensors, in a range of less than 180 degrees. The next step up, ceiling censors, deliver a full 360-degree range.

360 Degree Motion Detector
In electronic voice phenomenon (EVP) cases, investigators often try devices that can detect sound in vacant areas or at extremely high or low frequencies. (EVP is when human-sounding voices from an unidentified source are captured on tape, digital recording, radio broadcast or other electronic audio transmission, and are heard during playback.) Wilson uses a digital recorder and Audacity, a free, cross platform audio editing program, for these jobs.
EVP investigators also sometimes use ultrasonic listening devices to detect sounds that cannot be heard by the human ear, though the price tags of these devices likely deters all but the highest level of ghost hunters.

Ghostly Odds and Ends

Since paranormal investigations consist largely of monitoring various environmental factors for noticeable and unexplained shifts or trends, a plethora of tools can be used to measure factors like atmospheric pressure (barometers), humidity (psychrometers/hygrometers), static electricity (static meters) and the negative ion content in the air (negative ion meters).

Auerbach recalls one specific case in which a family claimed they became ill whenever they entered their newly rented home, though they were fine outside the home. The people even claimed to have seen random fireballs appear in their living room. Auerbach found a few possible answers using some of the above-mentioned tools, none of which were the least bit supernatural. The family lived below some power lines that were creating a sound too low to hear, but one that could be a potential source of headaches and illness.

The home neighbored a garbage dump, and methane gas—which has a putrid smell—could have been constantly drifting in, further prompting illness. The fireballs could have been a result of static electricity produced by the power lines combined with the flammable gas, he says. And finally, using a simple carpenter's level, Auerbach and his team determined that many of the houseâ¬"s door and window frames were not built at 90-degree-angles, creating slightly crooked floors in some cases, which could have caused prolonged the dizziness and an ill feeling.
In that case, Auerbach didn't find any ghosts or other paranormal happenings. His tools did help him collect enough evidence about the house for the owners to get out of their lease, as the residence was in violation of a number of local zoning regulations.

Hindu gods get summons from court

Posted on Sunday, 9 December, 2007

A judge in india has summoned two Hindu gods, Ram and Hanuman, to help resolve a property dispute. Judge Sunil Kumar Singh in the eastern state of Jharkhand has issued adverts in newspapers asking the gods to "appear before the court personally".

The gods have been asked to appear before the court on Tuesday, after the judge said that letters addressed to them had gone unanswered. Ram and Hanuman are among the most popular Indian Hindu gods. Judge Singh presides in a "fast track" court - designed to resolve disputes quickly - in the city of Dhanbad. The dispute is now 20 years old and revolves around the ownership of a 1.4 acre plot of land housing two temples.

The deities of Ram and Hanuman, the monkey god, are worshipped at the two temples on the land. Temple priest Manmohan Pathak claims the land belongs to him. Locals say it belongs to the two deities. The two sides first went to court in 1987. A few years ago, the dispute was settled in favour of the locals. Then Mr Pathak challenged the verdict in a fast track court. Gift: Judge Singh sent out two notices to the deities, but they were returned as the addresses were found to be "incomplete".

Local say the temple belongs to the gods Pic: Mahadeo Sen This prompted him to put out adverts in local newspapers summoning the gods. "You failed to appear in court despite notices sent by a peon and later through registered post.You are herby directed to appear before the court personally", Judge Singh's notice said.

The two Hindu gods have been summoned as the defence claimed that they were owners of the disputed land. "Since the land has been donated to the gods, it is necessary to make them a party to the case," local lawyer Bijan Rawani said. Mr Pathak said the land was given to his grandfather by a former local king.

Prehistoric sea "monster" discovered

Posted on Thursday, 6 December, 2007 4:14

Remains of a bus-sized prehistoric "monster" reptile found on a remote Arctic island may be a new species never before recorded by science, researchers said Tuesday. Initial excavation of a site on the Svalbard islands in August yielded the remains, teeth, skull fragments and vertebrae of a reptile estimated to measure nearly 40 feet long, said Joern Harald Hurum of the University of Oslo. "It seems the monster is a new species," he told The Associated Press.

The reptile appears be the same species as another sea predator whose remains were found nearby on Svalbard last year. His team described those 150-million-year-old remains as belonging to a short-necked plesiosaur measuring more than 30 feet — "as long as a bus ... with teeth larger than cucumbers." The short-necked plesiosaur was a voracious reptile often compared to the Tyrannosaurus rex of the oceans.Mark Evans, a plesiosaur expert at the Leicester City Museums in Britain, said he not know enough about the Norwegian find to comment on it specifically. But he said new types of the sea reptiles are being found regularly.

'Intact' dinosaur autopsy to be shown on TV

Posted on Saturday, 8 December, 2007 3:43

The dramatic discovery of a mummified dinosaur complete with skin, ligaments and possibly some internal organs is to be featured on television. Dino Autopsy, National Geographic Channel The find of the fossilised duckbilled hadrosaur, nicknamed Dakota, was reported by the Sky News website last week.

Now Dino Autopsy, on the National Geographic Channel, will investigate one of the most important dinosaur discoveries of all time.The find means that palaeontologists, who until now have been able to extract amazingly detailed information from not much more than teeth and bones, can add to their knowledge by studying a virtually intact dino mummy. Experts believe it could prove to be one of the most important dinosaur finds of all time, offering never-before-seen details of what the dinosaurs really looked like and how they lived. Virtually intact from head to toe, a one-in-a-million combination of conditions allowed this amazing specimen to become completely mummified. National Geographic uses a combination of CGI reconstructions and expert analysis in its documentary to provide a unique insight into how the dino mummy was discovered.

The programme also looks at the expertise and intricate technology used to obtain information about the dinosaur, and the sheer magnitude of the team's findings. This is the closest that palaeontologists have come yet to understanding dinosaurs.

Murder Solved by Paranormal Investigators

A team of paranormal investigators from Lancashire got more than they bargained for on their second visit to an Inn in Leyland.

During the investigation the team undertook an experiment where they asked the spirits to move a table.The table moved suddenly and violently, then spun around several times, nearly knocking one team member off her feet.Other strange phenomena included all of the group hearing a low pitch groan at exactly the same time, lights flickering, and unexplained sensations felt by a member of the group.Team member Andy Proctor, from Blackburn, describes events on the night of the visit as "the most amazing night of phenomena we have ever witnessed".The Ley Inn, in Chorley, is subject to many rumours of a hanging in the late 18th century.

During the Ouija experiment a former Inn owner Robert O'Neil and his employee James Silcock came forward.Andy said: "Robert informed us that he once owned the land which the Ley Inn now stands on, and that he accidentally killed James Silcock, who it seems was making advances towards Robert's daughter."We were informed, that Robert tied up a rope and wrapped it around James' neck, in order to scare him in to leaving his daughter alone, however, these actions resulted in James' death."Whether or not these stories are connected to the original claims of the hanging which took place here, we are not sure."Fellow team member Victoria Taylor said: "We made contact with a spirit called Arabelle, who we think was Robert O'Neil's daughter."She was born in 1746 and died at the age of 17. She said she'd been strangled by James Silcock, which would explain her father's actions."We think we've solved a mystery dating back nearly 250 years."

Boy befriends 4.8-metre-long python

While many children might wish to curl up with a dog or cat, a young Cambodian boy prefers to spend his time with a 4.8-metre-long python.

In the village of Sit Tbow, 50 kilometres east of Phnom Penh, Sambath Uon, seven, reportedly refuses to go to sleep without the company of his pet, Chamreun, or Lucky, in Khmer.

The snake slithered into town in 2000, when Sambath was just a few months old. While the boy's father tried to return the snake to the forest three times, the Burmese python loyally returned to her young master and has earned the acceptance of villagers, who think she brings good fortune. Young Sambath said of his faithful companion: "I love the python like my sister." The affection appears to be mutual, despite the fact that pythons are typically afraid of people and avoid humans if at all possible. One of the world's largest snakes, the Burmese python, which is found throughout Southeast Asia, can grow up to 8 metres long and weigh up to 180 kg. Females like Lucky are typically longer than males.
