Build your own Family Tree

August 27th, 2008 2 comments

Have you ever tried to put all your relatives in a single chart(Family Tree)?

All of a sudden I got a sparkle to build a Family Tree. A family tree of my own. When I searched on the Google, I came across many websites which provide a way to build a Family Tree.

After a short comparison I found that www.tribalpages.com which suit my requirements. You need to register first to build your website.

This website provides an easy way to build a family tree in simple steps.  Once you add the names of your relatives, you would be able to find the relationship of any two individual persons in a tree like structure.

You can also add the names, birth days, anniversaries and other important/miscellaneous notes for each person.

If you don’t want these information to be shared/published to public, you can still restrict the site(Family Tree) you built by providing a password. (When you want to share with your friends and relatives share the password too).

You can also add photos to get a photo tree of your relatives.

The entire service is free of cost provided by www.tribalpages.com. There are few more advanced features for paid users on report generations.

So start building a Family Tree of your own. In a matter of one hour you can build your own Family Tree. It would definitely be a a fun filled/useful time pass.

The image shown below is a sample tree of British Royal Family.

False Proof : 1 = -1

August 22nd, 2008 No comments

False Proof is one of the concepts in Mathematics. This is a quite interesting area. One of my Mathematics professor started his first class with the following question.

Can you prove 1 = -1?

We all said nope.

Then he went to the blackboard and wrote the following proof.

Version 1:

False Proof 1 = -1

Amazing. Isn’t? This is called False Proof.

There is one more way to prove 1 = -1.

Version 2 :

False Proof 1 = -1

Now let us see, how is this possible?

Let us take the first proof (False Proof)

The rule  isrootxy generally valid only if at least one of the two numbers x or y is positive, which is not the case here. Alternatively, one can view the square root as a 2-valued function over the complex numbers; in this case both sides of the above equation evaluate to {1, -1}.

How about the second version? Is that true? The answer is false again. Below is the explanation.

The equation a bc = (a b )c, when b and/or c are fractions, is generally valid only when a is positive, which is not the case here, leading to an invalid proof.

Its always looks nice when we send some decorated mails to friends and relatives; especially on happy occastions, b’day wishes etc.

Recently I noticed that Yahoo Mail provides stationery for all yahoo users. (How did not I notice this feature?)

How to get this?

When you compose mail, you will find a button under the Subject field called “Stationery”.

Just click Stationery to get your mail stationeries. This is one of the featuer I always look for, from Yahoo Mail.

The below images will guide you to get this feature.

There are 46 stationeries available under six different categories. In addition to that, there is a huge list of Solid Colors you can use in your mail.

Are you still using the classic Yahoo interface? Now it is the time to switch to the rich Yahoo Mail interface.
