Who is Jesus Christ?

 Jesus of Nazareth was born on 1st Century BC. He is also referred to as Jesus Christ or simply Christ, is the central figure of Christianity and is also regarded as an important prophet of God in Islam. Most Christian denominations venerate him as God the Son incarnated and believe that he rose from the dead after being crucified. The principal sources of information regarding Jesus are the Bible's four canonical gospels, which most biblical scholars find useful for reconstructing Jesus' life and teachings. Scholars have correlated the New Testament accounts with non-Christian historical records to arrive at an estimated chronology for the major episodes in the life of Jesus.
Most modern historians agree that Jesus existed and was a Jewish teacher from Galilee in Roman Judaea, who was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman Prefect, Pontius Pilate, on the charge of sedition against the Roman Empire.  Scholars have offered competing descriptions and portraits of Jesus, which at times share a number of overlapping attributes, such as a rabbi, a charismatic healer, the leader of an apocalyptic movement, a self-described Messiah, a sage and philosopher, or a social reformer who preached of the "Kingdom of God" as a means for personal and egalitarian social transformation.
Christians traditionally believe that Jesus was born of a virgin, performed miracles, founded the Church, died sacrificially to achieve atonement, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven, from which he will return. The majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, and the Second Person of the Holy Trinity. A few Christian groups, however, reject Trinitarianism, wholly or partly, believing it to be non-scriptural. Most Christian scholars today present Jesus as the awaited Messiah promised in the Old Testament and as God, arguing that he fulfilled many Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament.
Judaism rejects the belief that Jesus was the awaited Messiah, arguing that he did not fulfill the Messianic prophecies in the Tanakh. In Islam, Jesus (in Arabic: عيسى‎ in Islamic usage, commonly transliterated as Isa) is considered one of God's important prophets, a bringer of scripture, and the product of a virgin birth, but not the victim of crucifixion. Islam and the Bahá'í Faith use the title "Messiah" for Jesus, but do not teach that he was God incarnate. After his death, the date is considered as 'AD'.

Biography - Father of Nepali Education

Jaya Prithvi Bahadur Singh

 

Jai Prithvi Bahadur Singhof BajhangNepal was a passionate advocate
of world peace and brotherhood, a preacher and a thinkerof Humanism.
Born as the fifty-fifth princeof Bajhang on August 21, 1877, he graduate
from Calcutta University, and started the publicationof Gorakhapatra
(the first newspaper inNepal) in 1899, established the firstNepali language school, and brought-out many books for students in 1901. Nominated Ambassador forNepal at Calcutta in 1902-1905, he published the historyof Japan in 1907 and visited England as the Chief Editorof Gorakhapatra in 1908 where he was honored by Emperor Edward VII with the titleof honorary Colonelship. Jai Prithvi's magnum opus was 'Tatwa Prasamsha,' a book on Humanism inNepali which came out in 1913.

While he was working for the Humanistic Movement inNepal, the First Great War (1914-1918) broke out which shocked all humanists and plunged the whole world into chaos. As countries lost their grip on stability, a new waveof cynicism enveloped humankind to an extent never experienced before.

At a time when countries one after another were going bankruptcy and sinking into chaos, and the intellectuals were groping for values that could rescue humanity from the global morass, Jai Prithvi roused the attentionof the world to ward the needof Humanism. His movement on Humanism struck a fresh noteof peace and brought solace to humanity.

Handing over the ruleof his state to his brother he went to Nainital India in 1916 to work eight years on a manuscript in three volumes "Humanism" to propagate his ideaof world peace, unity, and brotherhood and then in 1924, he migrated to Bangalore to build the Jaya Bhavan, a residential mansion.

The first Humanistic Club was established by Jai Prithvi in 1928. His publications include Humanism, Vols. I-III, 'The Humanist' Journal, and 'The Flagof Peace,' a collectionof verses on peace. He also undertook extensive travel in Europe between 1929 and 1933 to promote the humanistic movement visiting USA, Japan, China, and almost all Asian Countries and established branchesof the Humanistic Club.

In 1935, Jai Prithvi visited Abyssinia (Ethiopia) to serve the war victims. But four years later, then Rana rulersof Nepal and British India, who were growing suspiciousof his popularity and global activism, put him under house arrest for one year where he passed away in 1940.

Great Answers - Why is the sky blue?

If you've ever wondered why, like Irving Berlin, you see "nothing but blue skies," you're in good company. It took many centuries and a lot of smart people -- including Aristotle, Isaac Newton, Thomas Young, James Clerk Maxwell and Hermann von Helmholtz -- to puzzle out the answer, in part because the solution encompasses so many components: the colors in sunlight, the angle at which solar illumination travels through the atmosphere, the size of airborne particles and atmospheric molecules, and the way our eyes perceive color.
Let's take the sky out of the equation for a moment and begin by looking at color. From a physics standpoint, color refers to the wavelengths of visible light leaving an object and striking a sensor, such as a human eye. These wavelengths might be reflected, or scattered, from an external source, or they might emanate from the object itself.
The color of an object changes depending on the colors contained in the light source; for example, red paint, viewed under blue light, looks black. Isaac Newton demonstrated with a prism that the white light of the sun contains all colors of the visible spectrum, so all colors are possible in sunlight.
In school, most of us learned that a banana appears yellow because it reflects yellow light and absorbs all other wavelengths. This is not accurate. A banana scatters as much orange and red as it does yellow, and scatters all of the colors of the visible range to some degree or other [source: Bohren]. The real reason it looks yellow relates to how our eyes sense light. Before we get into that, however, let's look at what color the sky actually is.

Great Answers - Why was the internet invented?

The Internet was created in the late 1960s so that U.S. Department of Defense researchers could share information with one another and with other researchers. The Advanced Research Projects Agency developed the Internet; its users, who were mostly scientists and academics, soon saw the power of the new technology: Wires linking computer terminals together in a "web" of networks allow people anywhere in the world to communicate over the computer. Even though it was developed by the government, the Internet is not government run. The Internet Society, a volunteer organization, addresses usage and standards issues.

The technology caught on, and by spring 1998, it was estimated that the Internet, which was made more accessible by the innovation of the World Wide Web, was being used by more than 50,000,000 people. (The World Wide Web is a part of the Internet designed to allow easier navigation.) Internet connections could be found in businesses, libraries, classrooms, and homes. At the same time, the Internet was growing so fast that traffic was doubling every one hundred days.

Why do we need food?

Human beings eat a lot of food. A typical human eats over a thousand pounds of food every year.
Why do we eat so much? There are two big reasons: building blocks and fuel.
Your body uses the building blocks in two different ways. When you are growing, you are adding new building blocks to your body. Your body is also repairing itself - taking out old blocks and replacing them with new ones.
The building blocks of your body are protein, and that's why you are supposed to eat plenty of it. If you don't eat enough protein, it is hard to grow.

The other thing your body needs is fuel. Just like a car needs gasoline, your body needs fuel so that your muscles can move and your brain can think. Have you ever roasted marshmallows and had one catch on fire? Marshmallows burn because they contain a lot of energy, in the form of sugar. We measure the fuel coming into your body in terms of calories.
The funny thing is that in today's society, Calories are everywhere. Pick up any snack food and you are looking at lots of calories.
For example, a single peanut M&M contains 12 calories. A big snack-size bag of M&Ms has 500 calories in it. Most kids need less than 1,500 calories per day - one bag of M&Ms is one- third of all the calories you need.
This cornucopia of calories is why obesity has become a problem in America. Unless a person is careful, it is really easy to take in too much fuel. Our bodies store all the excess fuel as fat.
It's something to think about the next time you grab a snack!
