| Top 10 Priceless Artworks Ruined By Accidents Posted: 24 Oct 2013 01:42 AM PDT Art is a mode of creative expressions. Various artists from the past have lured us with their exceptional artworks. Modern artists have made their own space in the art world with their modern art techniques. But we have been constantly losing some of the famous masterpieces in various forms of accidents. The most notable damage accidents occurred during a public exhibit or transportation or even due to negligence. Let's take a tour with some of the priceless artworks that were accidentally damaged.
10. 5 stolen masterpieces from French museum:5 masterpieces were stolen from a French museum, (including a Matisse, a Picasso, and a Modigliani) in 2010. Police and investigators believe that these priceless artworks were dumped in a street dustbin and later got crushed. These pieces were valued at £100 million. Appalling! Isn’t it?
9. Le Réve (Steve Wynn):When showing off 'Le Reve', a 1932 oil painting by Pablo Picasso, business magnate Steve Wynn put his elbow through it, damaging this extraordinary painting in the left forearm and creating a 6 inches tear. It cost $90000 to repair but sold years later for $155 million.
8. A Bath (Tracey Emin):Tracey Emin's self-portrait features a bath with neon hangings from barbed wire above it. A visitor's sweater got caught into the wire, completely damaging it. Well, the masterpiece still managed to sustain £1200 worth of damage.
7. Priceless 17th century Chinese vases:This artwork was also splintered into millions of pieces due to an imprudent visitor, who tripped on his shoelace and thereby smashing three 17thcentury Chinese vases. These priceless Chinese vases had made their prominent position in Fitzwilliam museum, Cambridge for more than 40 years. The restoration authority is however determined to put together the million splintered pieces. That's something called 'being optimistic.'
6. The Actor (Picasso):Here's another damage story by a brash art lover. This time a $122,232,000 art piece was punctured badly by a woman, when she lost her balance in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York on 25th January 2010. The rip was of about 5.9 inches in height in lower right corner.
5. When it starts dripping from the ceiling:Modern work of art 'when it starts dripping from the ceiling', worth $1,054,251, was also accidentally damaged by a cleaner who was too dedicated for her work that she completely wiped off a layer of paint on the painting, which she thought was a strain.
4. A strange restoration of 'Ecce Homo':80 years old Spanish painter Cecilia Gimenez tried to restore a 19th century Ecce Home (behold the man). Dubbed the most awful restoration in history, it soon became Ecce Mono (behold the monkey), as it resembled a crayon sketch of hairy monkey in an ill-fitting tunic.
3. Sketches of L.S. Lowry:A milkman, who delivered to an English artist L.S. Lowry (known as the matchstick man), was given sketches as a tip. What would a milkman do with these sketches? Without knowing their worth, and hating them, he threw the sketches in the dustbin. No wonder… However, that milkman's posterity would surely be cursing him now because those sketches are now worth $1,528,000.
2. A Lucian Freud painting:Lucian Freud was a German-born British painter. His works are known to highlight psychological ingression, and often discomforting relationship between the artist and model. One such exceptional Lucian Freud painting, worth $240,000, was presented at an auction house in London. However, its crate was mistaken for rubbish and it was thrown out by a keeper and finally lost to a landfill.
1. Palaeolithic cave paintings of France:An enthusiastic revolting youth group in France decided to clean up graffiti in 1992. In their enthusiasm, they did not realise what they were actually rubbing off. They, in their haste, rubbed out 15,000 years old priceless Palaeolithic cave paintings. This damage was termed as the most destructive one from the archaeological point of view.

| 6 Strongest Arguments Ever Given Against Religion Posted: 24 Oct 2013 12:51 AM PDT Jules Renard said "I don't know if God exists, but it would be better for His reputation if He didn’t." No one knows when religion and caste system exactly took its birth; but since its existence many people have followed one of the nearly 4200 existing religions among us. Religion is often a set of beliefs that tries to explain the nature, purpose and cause of our existence in the universe. Though majority of people have accepted it, there have been some strong arguments against religion even before science made its advent rationalizing thoughts. Diagoras, known as the atheist of Melos, presented a strong argument against religion as far back as in 1st century B.C. People who argue against religion often portray it as an outdated, discriminating, pertaining superstitious acts, immoral rituals and many more. It is true that religion is used as a political tool in the past and in present. Among the various arguments given against religion, I am trying to pick 6 strongest in the following article. 6. Ex nihilo nihil fit:Like Diagoras, Lucretius is known for his strong argument against religion and gods who could be bribed to interfere in our day to day affairs. His views are expressed through his work, 'De Rerum Natura' meaning 'On the Nature of Things'. Lucretius introduced Epicurean philosophy to the Romans. Lucretius said, "ex nihilo nihil fit: nothing comes from nothing", which explains how matter is required to make matter and that objects cannot spring forth without reasonable cause. He has explained this theory in his poem of which translates to English as But only Nature’s aspect and her law, Which, teaching us, hath this exordium: Nothing from nothing ever yet was born. Suppose all sprang from all things: any kind Might take its origin from anything, No fixed seed required. Men from the sea Might rise, and from the land the scaly breed, And, fowl fully fledged come bursting from the sky. Lucretius believed in Gods but he was against religion and rituals associated with religious practices. The belief that Gods interfered with human life and the world was considered as superstition by him.
5. Religion is man-made:Machiavelli, Italian politician, historian, diplomat, philosopher, humanist and writer, repeatedly argued in works that religion is man-made. He called the so called prophets as princes of the new age, who brought about revolutionary and innovative change in society. He gives examples of how people have killed their own kind and their use of large armies to fight for their religious dominance, to uphold his view that religion is often used in disguise by powerful men for their own political gains. Even to this day we cannot deny that political leaders often support and endorse religion not because of their undeniable faith in it, but in order to maintain power and balance in their countries. He assumed most of the people believed to be religious were so because for them "There is nothing more important than appearing to be religious."
4. How the "One true faith" contradicts itself:Stephen F Roberts challenged the major religions of the world when he made his famous declaration “I contend we are both atheists, I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.” Every religious body believes that their own religion holds the truth, even as they dismiss other religions as false and misleading. These inconsistent religious arguments based on revelations or messages of God itself stand against the existence of one true faith or one true religion.
3. Revelations about universe:Daniel Dennett presented his side of argument against religion saying that, most of the religions were formulated when science had not made discoveries about the universe. If the revelations were true than why they do not explain the solar and lunar eclipse, solar system or planets as they are. Along with Dawkins, Hitchens and Onfray argue about the truth behind religious beliefs based on scientific discoveries. It has been contended that people who still hold belief in lunar or solar eclipse or consider earth as the center of the universe around which the sun and the moon revolve is not just superstition or blind faith, but also irrational considering the evidence.
2. Religion is related to delusional behavior:Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkins, Vilayanur Ramachandran and Sam Harris have connected the near death experience, phenomenon of mysticism, spiritual possession and other religious mysteries to delusions of temporal lobe seizures. The God Helmet which stimulates the temporal lobes of the brain with magnetic fields has succeeded in inducing the religious experiences in the user. In his famous book "The God Delusion", Dawkins argues that religion is not a harmless nonsense but one of humanities most pernicious creations which has been responsible for many deaths. He further accuses religionists of fomenting divisiveness, waging wars in the name of religion and hindering intellectual progress.
1. Religion is a tool utilized by rulers:Karl Marx, Lenin and other socialists considered religion to be a tool utilized by the ruling classes to oppress common people. In his famous quote Karl Marx said, "Religious suffering is, at the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people." Through religion the oppressed poor are made to believe that their suffering in this world will eventually lead them to a better place in paradise. This prevents them from rising in revolution or making any genuine efforts to overcome their suffering. Karl Marx considered religion to be nothing more than escapism. When people suffered, the blame was laid on sinfulness of humanity rather the social and political chaos. Hence, religion sedates people from fighting against authoritarian injustice.

| Posted: 24 Oct 2013 12:24 AM PDT Manna Dey, the last of 'The Five Galaxies' of Indian playback singing, departed for his heavenly abode on October 24, 2013. He was 94. Born Prabodh Chandra Dey on May 1, 1919, Manna Dey debuted in Hindi film Tamanna in 1942 and never looked back since. Honoured with Padma Shri, Padma Bhushan and Dadasaheb Phalke Award, Manna Dey sang more than 3000 songs in various languages but is best known for songs in Hindi and those sung in his mother tongue Bengali. A contemporary of Kishore Kumar, Mukesh, Mohammed Rafi and Hemanta Kumar, Manna Dey carved his own space through his flawless rendition of classical compositions. Together with the other four, Dey formed what we call 'The Five Galaxies'. With a very heavy heart, we present a list of a few chosen Hindi songs sung by Manna Dey. Since all his songs were best in themselves, this list deviates from our standard top-ten order.
Aao Twist Karein
Ae Bhai Zara Dekh Ke Chalo
Ae Mere Pyare Watan
Ae Meri Zohara Zabien
Chalat Musafir
Hum kale hain to kya hua dilwale hai
Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baje
Kaise Samjhaun
Kasme Waade Pyar Wafa Sab
Laaga Chunri Mein Daag
Pucho Na Kaise Rain Bitayi
Pyar Hua Ikrar Hua
Tujhe Suraj Kahon Ya Chanda
Tu Pyar Ka Saagar Hai
Yaari Hai Imaan Mera
Ye Raat Bheegi Bheegi

| Top 10 Remote Islands Known For Their Breathtaking Beauty Posted: 23 Oct 2013 09:37 PM PDT When the hullabaloo of city life gets too much one feels like taking a break and getting away from all the noise. But when you take a holiday and visit a popular holiday destination you find that it is also filled with the noise of people trying to get away from the din. But there are places in this world that are so remote that no amount of noise can reach or leave that place. Most such places are islands located in the middle of nowhere. These islands offer you peace and the calm of breathtaking natural beauty. Here are the top 10 beautiful islands that are far away from everywhere. 10. Xisha Islands:Xisha Islands are a group of remote islands located in the South China Sea about 200 miles from mainland China. These islands have been untouched by humanity for thousands of years and only recently have opened for tourists that come as part of cruises. They are known for the rare natural beauty and bird species that are found only here.
9. Falkland Islands:Falkland Islands are 300 miles to the east of Argentina and they were won over by Britain in 1982. They have become part of a popular tourist circuit and people come here for the natural beauty offered by these islands. Conservation of the natural beauty and flora and fauna is taken very seriously here which means the beauty of these islands will stay intact for long.
8. Cocos Islands:Cocos Islands are a group of small islands that are located right in the middle of the Indian Ocean. The closest land is that of Christmas Island, 559 miles away. This place is perfect for anyone wanting to have the castaway experience as there are no huge resorts and very few people visit them. There is nothing to do except explore the natural beauty of the island.
7. Galapagos Islands:Galapagos Islands, 604 miles from Ecuador, are truly unique in terms of the diversity of flora and fauna. This fact let Darwin to propose the theory of evolution based on what he observed here. There are 60 islands out of which only 5 are inhabited. The rest have very different natural features that have led to evolution of different species of animals and birds.
6. Ascension Island:Ascension Island is a small volcanic island about 1000 miles from the coast of Africa in the South Atlantic Ocean. It is about 1400 miles from the coast of South America putting it right in between of the two continents. You won’t find a more remote place on earth. You can visit it to admire the natural beauty and peace and quiet.
5. Attu Island:Attu Island is the easternmost point of the United States. It is located 1100 miles from civilization and happens to be the only place where a battle was fought on US soil during World War II. The island has a lot of natural beauty but is pretty much inhospitable with bad weather year round. Still at least 20 people live here and you can visit it too.
4. Saint Helena:1200 miles from Africa and 1800 miles from South America, Saint Helena is the place where Napoleon Bonaparte was sent in exile. The beauty of this island is impressive with sub tropical climate and clear blue waters. There are a lot of plants and animals that live here and it is a good place to visit to see some natural beauty.
3. Pitcairn Islands:Pitcairn Islands are located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean about 1300 miles from Tahiti. These four volcanic islands are full of breathtaking beauty and there’s no one to fight over this beauty. Only the largest island is inhabited and the rest are free to explore.
2. Kiribati:Kiribati is a country of islands located 1650 miles from Hawaii. It is the easternmost country in the world. 21 of the islands are inhabited but 13 islands are left untouched. The amazing marine beauty is protected within the world’s largest marine reserve. It is an amazing place to visit and relax under the blazing equator sun.
1. Tristan da Cunha:The most remote inhabited archipelago in the world is the Tristan da Cunha in the Atlantic Ocean. It is 1750 miles from South Africa and 2088 miles from South America. The 6 volcanic islands contain unparalleled natural beauty that can’t be rivaled. The rugged terrain and harsh climate means that it will stay isolated for a long time. The community that lives here is one of the most isolated community in the world.

| Do You Know These Mind-Blowing Facts About Sun? Posted: 23 Oct 2013 09:09 PM PDT The sun is the source of all life on earth. In all cultures of the world, people worship sun in one form or another. Most religions began with the worship of the sun because people recognized the life giving power of the sun. But the life that the sun has given us will be one day taken back by it. Our sun is just one of the billions of stars in the universe and like all other stars one day it will die too. We all know a little bit about the sun but there are certain facts you might not be familiar with. 10. The Sun is the Solar System:The sun contains 99.86% of the mass of our solar system. It is by far the largest object in the solar system and it will be fare to say that basically the sun is the solar system. The sun is 330,000 times the size of the earth while its surface area is 11,990 times that of the earth’s. 1,300,000 earths could be made to fit inside the sun. It consists mostly of hydrogen and helium.
9. The Sun is more than Just a Ball of Fire:We think of the sun as a giant ball of fire but actually it is much more complex and has a structure, layers, distinct parts and even an atmosphere. There is a nuclear core that produces the energy through nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium. Above the core are the radiation zone and the convective zone. There are sun spots on the surface of the sun and different parts of the sun rotate at different speeds.
8. The Sun is Expanding:The sun is not unchanging and constant as some people might believe. It has been expanding every since it was born and slowly it will keep on expanding till it becomes the red giant. As the rate of hydrogen fusing into helium increases the outer layers of the sun are puffed up and cause the sun to expand and become brighter.
7. The Sun is Getting Hotter:Along with expansion the sun is also getting brighter and hotter. In about 1 billion years the sun will get so hot that all water on the surface of earth will evaporate. Life as we know it will die. Some bacteria may survive underground but all of the surface life will die as the surface become scorched and burned by the intense heat of the sun.
6. The Sun is Middle Aged:The sun is about halfway through its life cycle. It is around 4.5 billion years old right now and has about 5 to 6 billion more years left to live. It has already burned off half of its store of hydrogen. Once all the hydrogen is used up the sun will start fusing together helium to produce the higher elements. That will be the last days of the life of the sun.
5. The Sun has an Atmosphere:Apart from having a complex structure and an interesting surface the sun also has an atmosphere. The atmosphere is made up of the photosphere, chromosphere and the corona. The surface of the sun has a temperature of about 6000 Kelvin but its atmosphere can get much hotter. The chromosphere has temperature of about 100,000 Kelvin and the corona can reach 1 million Kelvin.
4. The Sun Rotates and Revolves:Like the earth rotates on its axis and revolves around the sun, the sun also rotates and revolves. It rotates on its axis and the equatorial regions take 25 days to complete one rotation. The sun also revolves around the center of the galaxy. It takes the sun 225 to 250 million years to complete one revolution of the galactic center.
3. The Sun will One Day Swallow the Earth:As the sun goes through its life cycle it will continue to expand and become hotter and brighter. One day it will expand so much that it will swallow the inner planets including Earth. You don’t need to worry though because we’ll all be dead long before that happens due to the rising temperatures on earth.
2. The Sun Causes a Solar Wind:The sun has a magnetic field and it emits charged particles that travel through its magnetic field. This field is known as the heliosphere and engulfs the complete solar system within it. The charged particles travel at a speed of 450 km/s and form the solar wind. Scientists have been trying to use this solar wind for space travel using solar sails that can catch this wind.
1. Solar Flares and Solar Storms:The surface of the sun is active and often a large amount of energy is released in the form of eruptions known as solar flares. Solar flares also cause a massive coronal mass ejection which releases charged particles, electrons and atoms through the corona of the sun into space. These particles form what is known as a solar storm. When solar storms hit the earth, it can cause failure of electronic equipment and other damage. The earth’s magnetic field protects us from the worst of the storm and the charged particles are deflected away from the atmosphere. This can be seen in the form of auroras or northern lights.

| Top 10 Cricket Commentators Who Make The Game More Interesting Posted: 23 Oct 2013 09:01 PM PDT Cricket is a game that is watched by millions around the globe. Cricket commentators thus are the voice and mind of all the viewers watching a game on television. Masses frame opinions often on what they hear commentators say, so commentary has ever since made the game alive on television and radio. Here thus we have compiled a list of 10 cricket commentators who make the game more interesting for the viewers. 10. Sunil Gavaskar:The ESPN Star Sports and BCCI commentator Sunil Gavaskar is a very candid and livid commentator who grips the audience with his through professionalism behind the microphone. Known for his staunch expressions and tickling new statements, Sunil sees cricket from the eyes of a batsman with distinction. The author commentator has a very fond liking for vocabulary and at times makes the game exciting outside the field with his uncanny wit.
9. Mark Taylor: The modern Nine Network commentator Mark Taylor is someone you'd want to listen all day. Living in the company of fellow commentators Michael Slater and Ian Healy (team Channel Nine), Taylor distances himself from pro Aussie statements. Taylor's opinions are usually balanced; he is always ready to voice his opinions on controversial matters. He is probably the best commentating act on Channel Nine.
8. David Lloyd:One of the most versatile commentators on Sky Sports, David Lloyd is also one of the most recognized names in world of cricket commenting. Nicknamed Bumble, Lloyd he is available for almost each England international, and does ICC tournaments for Fox. He adds unrelenting excitement to the game, with the use of witty words and hilarious comments. Some of his patent words and phrases are part of modern day cricket that other commentators love to use.
7. Simon Doull:Former right arm medium pace swing bowler, Simon Doull is now a full time commentator with New Zealand’s SKY Sports. Doull's career as a player was marred by injuries, but he has come to show what he is through is appearances as commentator. He is an entertaining personality behind the mic. Doull is famous for speaking his mind and he keeps the viewer entertained with his knowledge about the game. He avoids linking to many things to the game, and believes in keeping it simple for the listeners.
6. Ian Bishop:Ian Bishop's inclusion in the list of commentators' that make the game interesting may be a little surprise for many, but personal I have found Ian as an existing commentator. Bishop is a calm and collected commentator. Even in high drama games, Bishop manages to keep his composure and not get carried away with the flow of the game. He has subtle comments that keep the mood light and the game interesting.
5. Navjot Singh Sidhu:If there is a commentator who knows how to make the game of cricket interesting for the viewers, then Navjot Singh Sidhu, or Sidhu paaji (as he is better known) walks away with the trophy outrightly. Famous for the consistent phrases and over the moon enthusiasm, Sidhu is by far the most entertaining commentators but has the tendency of being biased in favor of batsman in general and India in particular.
4. Ravi Shastri:The charismatic Ravi Shastri has a great strength as a commentator. Carrying his ideology of speaking his mind out since his playing career is something that sets Shastri apart from the other commentators working for BCCI. Shastri often sees the match situation from a different point of view and this is why he has a very varying impact on the audience that love listening to him.
3. Michael Atherton:In my opinion Michael Atherton is by far the best full time commentators in world cricket today. Michael is blessed with a voice that utterly pleasing, his analysis of the game is top class and he is a different man altogether when he is behind the mic. Michael transforms into a person who loves keeping things simple yet really informative as soon as he gets behind the mic.
2. Geoffrey Boycott:Geoffrey Boycott, former England batsman and captain is cricket’s most authoritative voice. Geoff's analysis of the game is beyond the ability of other commentators. His native English accent, understanding of the game and thorough professionalism make him an entertaining commentator.
1. Harsha Bhogle:An Indian cricket commentator and journalist Harsha Bhogle started his career as a commentator at the age of 19 with All India Radio. A graduate from Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, Harsha is the only commentator in the list who hasn't played cricket at any professional level. His knowledge and understanding of the game is however better than most professionals. His good speaking skills and thorough knowledge make Harsha the most entertaining commentator today.
