2009-09-02T17:24:00.004+01:00

The following is the abstract of my report:Abstract Although the Post Mortem Interval (PMI) can be determined by examining various physiological changes in the body since death, determination of PMI using entomological indicators such as insect larvae is proven to be much accurate and reliable. The stadial growth of blowfly larvae on a dead body is influence by various factors and this in

2007-12-09T07:42:00.000Z

Yes, flies are a very helpful tool in solving crimes. This area of science is called forensic entomology, in which information based on insects as a mean of evidence are used in solving crimes.I will be presenting some information about this in a later date, so for the time being read more about forensic entomology here.

Legal compensation only for some?

Besides surfing the Internet during my spare times, I spend times in the kitchen cooking...Yes, I enjoy cooking. The best part about cooking is that there is no one to tell me which ingredients I should use...Meaning I have my own rules in the kitchen. So I create my own recipes too.Here is one good recipe you could try...I wont name it. Just try and let me know, how you would want to name

Hey dude, have you got a spare phone?

Everyday, even before I have my breakfast, I come to my PC to check mails, and to see if there is anyone who’s in need of me urgently. Today added another ring to that chain. I met a close friend of me online in MSN, who is working in Malé. He is a cool charming buddy with the best of sense of humour. He never keeps me bored when I’m with him. He always had the best way to tell a story; even the

Someone entering another’s premises without permission, allowed or not allowed? Obviously it is not allowed. The constitution of the Maldives strongly bans such an evil act. In fact there is strict punishment for such behaviour. But what if a police officer gets into a house without its owner’s permission? Except for very extreme cases, even the police officers need to have prior permission of

How would Muslim astronauts pray in space?

2006-05-07T23:29:00.000+01:00

Malaysia is due to send an astronaut into space with the Russians next year. The country's first spaceman is almost certain to be a Muslim, which raises a number of practical issues. For instance, Muslims wash[ablution and/or ritual bath] before they pray but not only is water a precious commodity in space, but it is also impractical in weightlessness. Likewise, the faithful face

The pleasure of accepting weaknes

2006-05-07T01:19:00.000+01:00

We, human beings are born having the tendency to ignore, hide, deny and compensate personal weaknesses. However, it is not surprising that many of us have never realised this. Well, we might believe in this when we see or hear about the reality. However, we all deny the fact that we all have these mysterious qualities within ourselves. The habit of wasting time trying to get others attraction is

Search the meanings of dhivehi words!

2006-05-05T20:31:00.000+01:00

Dhivehi dictionary (Radheef) is available for online uses at www.radheef.com. I belive this is a great work done for development of Divehi linguistics. This would have enormous impact on the quality of writing, especially by beginners. This program uses the information provided by the National Centre for Linguistic and Historic Research (NCLHR). So all praises go to the designer Technova Pvt.

More than 10% men have some degree of colour-blindness!

2006-05-05T19:46:00.000+01:00

Wonder how the vision of some one who is colour-blind would be? Wonder how dull it would be for someone colour-blind to see the blue sky touching the deep-blue sea at horizon, when he is standing on a white sandy-beach on a sunny day in the Maldives? Well, I'm one of them. But honestly, I don’t know the difference, simply because I haven’t experienced what others see. I knew I’m colour-blind very

Picture: haveeruonline Cartoons It's true that every picture tells a story. Pictures tell different stories to different people though.
