And so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced. But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird. The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire and thunder upon them. For the beast had been reborn with its strength renewed, and the followers of Mammon cowered in horror.

Works with Flock too but with different Quote:
from Book of Mozilla, 11:1

And when the Beast had taken the quarter of the Earth under its rule, a quarter hundred Birds of Sulfur flew from the Depths. The birds crossed hundreds of mountain views and found twenty four wise men who came from the stars. And then it began, the believers dared to listen. Then, they took their pens and dared to create. Finally, they dared to share their deed with the whole of mankind. Spreading words of freedom and breaking the chains, the birds brought deliverance to everyone.

Menmonics : Art of remembering

From Wikipedia :

Mnemonics rely not only on repetition to remember facts, but also on associations between easy-to-remember information and to be remembered lists of data, based on the principle that the human mind much more easily remembers data attached to spatial, personal, or otherwise meaningful information than that occurring in meaningless sequences.

My friend has developed http://www.mnemonicdictionary.com/ which is kinda database for mnemonics. It allows you to submit words that can be related to mnemonics, and then you can disscuss them in forum. It also allows you to search words in database. This uses mnemonic approach to encode the meaning of words using some mnemonic idea (Any idea which can somehow relate the word with it’s meaning).
For example :

Word: Onus
Meaning : burden
Mnemonic : ON-US you are ON US ie. you are BURDEN to me

Word : Brazen
Meaning : bold
Brazen : Bra+zen hey isn’t his girlfriend “zen” looking hot only in a bra.

Visit www.mnemonicdictionary.com for more such words with mnemonics. Also, please give your suggestions and feedback regarding the website.

India Poised

Times of India group has started “India Poised” campaign in honor of 60 years of free India.
India Poised Anthem :

There are two Indias in this country

One India is straining at the leash, eager to spring forth and live up to all the adjectives the world has been showering recently upon us

The other India is the leash

One India says give me a chance and I’ll prove myself. The other India says prove yourself first and then maybe you’ll have a chance
