GobalaKrishnan.com : "Internet home business” and “Work at Home” There are many advantages of GobalaKrishnan.com above a website, except it's easy to setup and free. You can put every thing in your blog: from a couple of lines what it is on your mind or your new article just published elsewhere, or a product review. In principle, a blog is the same as a website, but you will need to update more frequently to get the visitors to your site. A major advantage of GobalaKrishnan.com here above a website to getting major search engines like Google and Yahoo to visit your blog frequently is a technique called "pinging".

If you link your blog to GobalaKrishnan.com, the search engines will follow the links from the blog pointing to your sites. This will help the search engine rankings of your sites as well!

1. Live Giant Squid Photographed—A First: This image, captured by Japanese scientists in September 2004 and released a year later, marks the first ever record of a live giant squid in the wild. The mysterious deep-sea creature has inspired countless sea monster tales and a variety of scientific expeditions.

2. Giant Catfish May Be World's Largest Freshwater Fish: Fishers in northern Thailand netted this huge catfish in the Mekong River on May 1, 2005. Nearly 9 feet (2.7 meters) long and as big as a grizzly bear, the behemoth tipped the scales at 646 pounds (293 kilograms). Experts say the fish, which belongs to the species known as the Mekong giant catfish, may be the largest freshwater fish ever recorded.

3. Ultra-Lifelike Robot Debuts in Japan: Quick, which one is the robot? Repliee Q1 (at left in both pictures) appeared on June 9 at the 2005 World Expo in Japan, where she gestured, blinked, spoke, and even appeared to breathe. Shown with co-creator Hiroshi Ishiguru of Osaka University, the android is partially covered in skinlike silicone. Q1 is powered by a nearby air compressor, and has 31 points of articulation in its upper body. Internal sensors allow the android to react "naturally." It can block an attempted slap, for example. But it's the little, "unconscious" movements that give the robot its eerie verisimilitude: the slight flutter of the eyelids, the subtle rising and falling of the chest, the constant, nearly imperceptible shifting so familiar to humans. Surrounded by machines that draw portraits, swat fast-moving balls, and snake through debris, Q1 was only one of the showstoppers at the expo's Prototype Robot Exposition, which aimed to showcase Japan's growing role in the robotics industry. But given Q1's reported glitch-related "spasms" at the expo, it may be a while before androids are escorting tour groups or looking after children—which may be just as well. "When a robot looks too much like the real thing, it's creepy," Hiroshi told the Associated Press.

4. Python Bursts After Eating Gator: Unfortunately for a 13-foot (4-meter) Burmese python in Florida's Everglades National Park, eating the enemy seems to have caused the voracious reptile to bust a gut—literally. Wildlife researchers with the South Florida Natural Resources Center found the dead python in late September after it apparently tried to digest a 6-foot-long (2-meter-long) American alligator. The mostly intact dead gator was found sticking out of a hole in the midsection of the python, and wads of gator skin were found in the snake's gastrointestinal tract. The gruesome discovery suggests that the python's feisty last meal might have been too much for it to handle. Clashes between alligators and pythons have been on the rise in the Everglades for the past 20 years. Unwanted pet snakes dumped in the swamp have thrived, and the Asian reptile is now a major competitor in the alligator's native ecosystem. (See "Huge, Freed Pet Pythons Invade Florida Everglades.") "Clearly if [pythons] can kill an alligator, they can kill other species," Frank Mazzotti, a University of Florida wildlife professor, told the Associated Press after the discovery. "There had been some hope that alligators can control Burmese pythons. … This [event] indicates to me it's going to be an even draw."

5. Gas Thief Escapes on Tricycle : Speeding from the scene of the crime, a Chinese boy tows a floating plastic bag of stolen natural gas in early August. Flouting a government ban, farmers around the central Chinese town of Pucheng frequently filch gas from the local oil field. As Chinese industry booms and automobile use spreads, the country as a whole appears to be on a feverish quest for fossil fuels. Oil consumption rose by 11 percent last year, and the number of private autos hit 14 million in 2003—and is expected to rise to 150 million by 2015. (See "China's Boom Is Bust for Global Environment, Study Warns.") China National Offshore Oil Corporation dropped its bid for U.S. oil and natural gas company Unocal in August. But the China National Petroleum Corporation, the country's biggest oil company, later bought PetroKazakhstan, a Canadian company with oil fields in the central Asian country of Kazakhstan.

6. Grand Canyon to Get Glass Bridge: Fear of heights? This is definitely no place for you.The all-glass, balcony-like "Skywalk"—shown in an illustration released in late August—will extend over the edge of the Grand Canyon, 4,000 feet (1,200 meters) above the Colorado River. "The Skywalk will be an attraction unlike any other in the world," said Sheri Yellowhawk, CEO of the Grand Canyon Resort Corporation. The company is building the bridge in the Hualapai Indian Reservation on the south rim of the canyon. The Skywalk is scheduled to open to the public in January 2006 as part of a new resort on the reservation. The resort, known as Grand Canyon West, is to include a re-created Indian village and a restaurant perched on the edge of the canyon. Tourism is the reservation's biggest source of income. Grand Canyon West will be on the western edge of Grand Canyon National Park, about 120 miles (about 200 kilometers) from Las Vegas. But perhaps not even the Las Vegas Strip's over-the-top attractions will be a match for this glass-bottom walkway over the world's biggest gorge.

7. New Orleans People, Pets Flee Flood : Volunteer Al Duvernay lowers Rusty the dog into a boat while rescuing people and animals stranded by Hurricane Katrina's floodwaters on August 30, 2005, in New Orleans, Louisiana.

8. 'Godzilla' Fossils Reveal Real-Life Sea Monster: Fossils from a real-life sea monster—the massive crocodile-like species depicted in this illustration made for National Geographic magazine—were recently unearthed in Patagonia, Argentina. The animal likely measured 13 feet (4 meters) long from nose to tail. The researchers who made the discovery say the marine reptile, nicknamed Godzilla, lived about 135 million years ago. They described their find in the November 11, 2005, issue of the journal Science.

9. Hurricane Katrina Smashes Gulf Coast: Shown just east of Florida, Hurricane Katrina had become a Category One hurricane, the lowest category in the hurricane-strength scale, when NASA's Terra satellite captured this image on August 25, 2005. The hurricane formed as a tropical depression late on August 23 and developed quickly into a tropical storm by the next morning. The storm weakened as it crossed Florida but rapidly gained strength in the Gulf of Mexico before battering the U.S. Gulf Coast.

10. Whale Found in Egypt Desert: Kicking off our list of the most viewed National Geographic News photos of the year is one whale of a discovery. Egypt may not be the first place you'd look for whales, but once upon a time the Wadi Hitan desert was underwater and teeming with the sea giants. In April geologist Philip D. Gingerich announced his team had excavated the first known nearly complete skeleton of a Basilosaurus isis (pictured). The 50-foot- long (18-meter-long), 40-million-year-old fossil was shipped to Michigan, where experts are preserving it. Later they will return the fossil to Egypt along with a complete cast of the skeleton. The first of the truly gigantic whales, Basilosaurus had the serpentine shape of a sea monster and short, sharp teeth for hunting sharks and other prey. Unlike today's whales, it had no blowhole—the ancient behemoth had to raise its head above water to breathe. What's more, Basilosaurus still had the feet it inherited from its land-dwelling ancestors, according to Gingerich, who works for the University of Michigan and is a National Geographic Society grantee.
