BioDiesel - A Ray of Hope for India

Mr. Rudolf Diesel designed the first diesel engine in Germany in 1893.He conceived it to be running on peanut oil (and not petroleum diesel as many would believe it to be) and designed it to be ran on mineral oil.His engine could take vegetable oil without any alterations being made on it.There is a visionary statement Mr. Diesel has said in 1912 in which he said that the rule of petroleum oil will perish and vegetable oils will come back to rule the world. The main disadvantages of using vegetable oil was that it was highly viscous.Fuel injectors could not spray it easily.Clogged fuel lines and vegetable oil gets solidified in to a mess at lower temperatures.The solution was to blend with petroleum based oil.

The first six months of Digital Tyke Ads

This is the second part of the post " Outdoor Advertising & Digital Signage Displays ".As mentioned there, i did start Digital Tyke Ads on 18th March 2012 . This youtube video is the inspiration for trying out whether outdoor video billboard advertising works.I had not much knowledge about advertising other than running some adwords campaign & promoting ads on my own websites & other websites. Initially not many was interested in my digital billboard. The biggest turnoff is the location.I placed the display in a place where flex banner advertising is regarded as a luxurious extravaganza.

Circus the moving jails of exploitation

I remember seeing a circus in my school days.I was fascinated by it.But i nolonger have the appreciation for it since the artists are not athletes competing for our nation.They are slaves beaten up and trained in their childhood.These children in most of the case are sexually abused by thugs inside the circus.Please read the blog about rescueing children from 12 children from New Rajasthan circus hell in Nepal. Last year 23 children were rescued from Rajkamal Circus tent when they were camping.The children are trained brutually and are slaves.The circus company is very powerful.They have got all the money from people who want entertainment by making elephants and animals dance & perform for these thugs.These kids need school.
