Mahesh Prasad Varma (Srivastava) died on February 5, 2008, at approximately 7:00 p.m. less than month after he retired from public life on the 11th of January 2008. He shall be remembered for being the first eastern guru to embrace pop culture in the form of "The Beatles" & extended sitar lessons to George Harrison. His influence on western culture can not be underestimated. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, spiritual leader and businessman, is thought to have been born on January 12 1917. He died on February 5, 2008, aged about 91. He invented TM or "transcendental meditation" & founded the "natural law party" famous for its regular demonstrations of yogic flying. His organisation spanned the globe & its real estate holdings include islands in Ireland. The Beatles made him famous, "The Doors" first met at one of his gigs. NASA sent the Beatles' song "Across the Universe" into space the same day he died. We hopefully will not see his like again. read full story / add a comment

The Irish media coverage of the fire which killed nine people of Turkish origin in the German city Ludwigshafen last weekend focused mostly on the image of a baby thrown from a window to be caught by a heroic firefighter . The Turkish media has however concentrated on the possible involvement of xenophobic and Islamophobic elements in starting the blaze. The Turkish ambassador to Germany said it was strange that German politicians had ruled out such involvement before police had established the cause. Turkish State Minister Mustafa Said Yazicioglu met German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble in Ankara on Monday to ask for a full investigation saying :
“Islamophobia spread because several incidents after September 11th attacks were exaggerated thus racist incidents emerged, and all these brought an unpleasant situation for Turks in Germany.”

"......The British Ministry of Defence says it will abandon deep-diving experiments which involve inducing decompression sickness in live goats. The animals were used to see what the likely risk of "the bends" would be following escape from a submarine at varying depths under water.
The information would help crews judge whether it would be safer to abandon a stricken vessel or wait to be rescued. Animal rights campaigners say the move will "end decades of animal suffering". More than 400 such experiments have taken place since 2000. However, the tests were suspended in March 2007 while a review committee of six experts examined alternative methods, such as computer-modelling techniques to simulate the effects of the "bends". Now the UK MoD says there is no further need for the animal testing......." read full story / add a comment
