Navigation & A Timeless Curio Shop

Image
Everything needs navigation. Ships, planes and even today's cars have GPS navigation. Navigation is the process of controlling the movement of a vehicle or craft from one place to another. We also have radio, radar, satellite and celestial navigation. You have to know about latitude and longitude. To measure longitude accurately, you need to use the precision of a marine chronometer. The chronometer is set at GMT. Quartz crystal marine chronometer are even better as they are even more accurate.  Another critical component of navigation is the sextant. It is an optical instrument to measure the angle formed at the observer's eye and the horizon. Life is just like that. We have to navigate - sometimes we encounter engine trouble (like recessions), rough seas and bad weather or bumped into pirates. I have previously written articles about "Ships" and "Gyroscope" which were well received.  http://gforce-guru.blogspot.com/2010/10/ships.html htt...

Movie Review - 300 & Red Cliff

300 (M18) Ratings***** 300 starring Gerard Butler is a spectacular movie with stunning visuals and must not to be missed. The epic graphic novel by Frank Miller spills your screen with the blood, thunder and awe of its ferocious battle violence and a very intense blend of action sequence retelling the ancient Battle of Thermopylae depicting the titanic clash in whcih King Leonidas and 300 Spartans fought to the death against King Xerxes and his massive Persian army.  Rated M-18, it is a battle still being told today of the Spartans fighting abilities, bravery, tactics and how they overcame great odds. All people who aspire to overcome great odds and in need of inspiration for victory and courageneed to watch this movie. While before this historical event, all nations would meekly surrender, they were later inspired by the Spartans and fought the Persians. Such a good movie can be had for only S$6.95 and can be found at Laser Flair outlets if you have not already seen...
