Presently, the Armed Forces are doing a phenomenal job of rescuing people and the Government(s) are doing whatever they can. All of  us are pained; wanting to do our bit; and often asking - `what can I do?’ One big effort shall be required to rehabilitate the survivors so that they can continue to have livelihood, jobs, homes, education, health etc etc. It is important that they get to live after having survived!

MUMBAI: Marriages are made in heaven, but a divorce  happens on earth and with it comes the inevitable question of  alimony  and its tax implications. In a recent decision the Delhi Income-tax Appellate Tribunal  (ITAT) has held that a lump sum payment received from a former husband, against relinquishment of monthly maintenance is a capital receipt and is not taxable. The case relates to a Delhi-based woman, who had received a lump sum of $99,000 from her ex-husband based in the United States, but had not shown the amount in her tax declaration. Based on current exchange rate this sum translates to approximately Rs. 60 lakh. Under Indian tax laws, any sum of money received by an individual without any consideration (without getting anything in return), in excess of Rs 50,000 in a year, is taxable. But if the same is received from a relative, such as a spouse, or on certain occasions such as  marriage , it is exempt. The tax officer, in this case, had held that...

Rainfall in Nepal overloads dams and lead to flash floods in the Bihar region. Geographically Nepal is a hilly region. When heavy rains occur the water flows to the Koshi River. When the water level rises too high, Nepa...

Uttarakhand floods, week2: 1) Now that the hard work done by RSS, Baba Ramdev and Narendra Modi has galvanised action, Rahul Baba has rushed back from his week long european vacation. Meanwhile his jokers Shinde and Tiwari kept the nation's attention diverted with their stupidly arrogant statements. 2) Baba Ramdev's relief camp at Haridwar railway station has been demolished by U'Khand governmen t on pretext of it being an 'illegal camp'. (Truth: No baba steals Rahul Baba's thunder). 3) Congress ministers in the state demanded money instead of relief material (Swiss banks...) 4) The relief material was laying there for 3 days but they waited till Rahul Baba's arrival to flag it off. 5) To stop NaMo from entering U'Khand, Shinde said "VIPs should not enter the state it will delay rescue operations" First MMS and Sonia disrupted rescue ops.

Inmates in a small prison in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais are being offered the chance to reduce their jail terms in return for generating electricity by pedalling on exercise bicycles. The bikes are hooked up to portable batteries, which light up the humble boardwalk along this small country town's river each night. In its first mon ths, the program has proved so popular that guards have reported a jump in good behavior, which moves candidates to the top of the waiting list. It all began when a local judge, Jose Henrique Mallman, ran an absent-minded Google search for "renewable energy." "The system has totally failed us. Jails have become a human depository and nothing else. Men waste away sitting in there, just discussing criminal strategies, and come out exactly the same or worse," he says in his office, decorated with art created by prisoners. Every night just before sunset, a guard drives the charged battery from the prison, on the outskirts of tow...

The North Pole has shifted east because of ice sheet loss caused by rising temperatures, a new study published in Geophysical Research Letters has found, according to the scientific journal Nature. The pole drifted southeast toward northern Labrador, Canada, at a rate of about 6 centimeters per year between 1982 and 2005. But since 2005, the direction and speed of the pole's journey changed. It s tarted moving rapidly east towards Greenland at a rate of more than 21 centimeters per year. There has been huge ice sheet loss in the polar regions due to global warming. The study was carried out by scientists from the University of Texas, Austin, using data collected by NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE). Earth's two geographic poles do not have a fixed location. As the distribution of snow, rain and humidity changes every year, the poles too wobble around, usually in a circular manner. Besides this seasonal drift, there is a long range movement which scient...

On May 17, 1968, Wilbur Riddle discovered the body of a young woman wrapped and tied in a canvas bag thirteen miles north of Georgetown, Kentucky. He immediately ran to his truck and sped to the nearest pay phone, where he called Bobby Vance, the Scott County sheriff. Minutes later, Riddle was showing his find to not only Sheriff Vance, but also Deputy Jimmy Williams and Deputy Coroner  Kenneth Grant. The bag contained the badly decomposed body of a female, naked but for a towel of some sort that was wrapped around her head; she had obviously been dead for weeks. She was doubled up in the bag, and her right hand was clenched like a fist. A search of the immediate area turned up no other physical evidence. The body was taken to St. Joseph Hospital in Lexington, where Deputy Coroner Kenneth Grant and his assistants determined the girl had been Caucasian, five feet and one inch tall, weighed about 110 to 115 pounds, with an estimated age of between sixteen and nineteen years old, sh...

At his farm near Odon, Indiana, William Hackler finished having breakfast with his family and left the house. On his way to the barn, he smelled smoke. When he hurriedly returned to the house, he discovered a fire in the upstairs bedroom wall (no electricity). The local volunteer fire department was called in and the blaze quickly extinguished. However, that was only t he start of the Hackler family’s day long ordeal. After the truck left, another fire broke out, this time in a mattress in an upstairs guest room. It seemed as though the fire had been set from inside the mattress! Throughout the day, more fires broke out all over the house, some under the gazes of astonished witnesses. By 2:00 p.m., more fire fighters were called in, and by the end of the day, twenty-eight seemingly spontaneous fires were extinguished, including one that started between the covers of a book. The fires ended as mysteriously as they began. Hackler tore down the house and built a new one from the reclaime...
