Everyone has sight, few have Vision

EMMA MAERSK SHIP
You must read the ending…
See the editorial under the last picture. That says it all!

The Emma Maersk, part of a Danish shipping line,
is shown in the photos below.

What a ship….no wonder ‘Made in China ‘ is displacing
North American made goods big time.

This monster transports goods across the Pacific in just 5
days!! This is one of three ships presently in service, with another two ships commissioned to be completed in 2012.

These ships were commissioned by Wal-Mart to get all their
goods and stuff from China . They hold an incredible 15,000
containers and have a 207 foot deck beam!! The full crew is just
13 people on a ship longer than a US Aircraft Carrier (which has a
crew of 5,000. With its 207′ beam it is too big to fit through the
Panama or Suez Canals ..

It is strictly Transpacific. Cruise speed: 31 knots.
The goods arrive 4 days before the typical container ship (18-20
knots) on a China-to-California run.. 91% of Wal-Mart products are
made in China .So this behemoth is hugely competitive even
when carrying perishable goods.

The ship was built in five sections. The sections floated
together and then welded.
The command bridge is higher than a 10-story building and has
11 cargo crane rigs that can operate simultaneously unloading
the entire ship in less than two hours.

Additional info:
Country of origin – Denmark
Length – 1,302 ft
Width – 207 ft
Net cargo – 123,200 tons
Engine – 14 cylinders in-line diesel engine (110,000 BHP)
Cruise Speed – 31 knots

Cargo capacity – 15,000 TEU (1 TEU = 20 cubic feet)
Crew – 13 people !
First Trip – Sept. 08, 2006
Construction cost – US $145,000,000+

Silicone painting applied to the ship bottom reduces water
resistance and saves 317,000 gallons of diesel per year.

Editorial Comment!
A recent documentary in late March, 2010 on the History
Channel noted that all of these containers are shipped back to
China , EMPTY. Yep, that’s right.

We send nothing back on these ships. What does that tell you
about the current financial state of this country? Just keep
buying those imported goods (mostly gadgets) until you run out
of money.

Then you may wonder what the cause of unemployment
(maybe even your job) in the U.S. and Canada might be????

‘Nuff said ??
This message, if any, surely deserves forwarding, doesn’t it ?

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism!

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism: The Vedas refer to not 33 crore Devatas but 33 types (Koti in Sanskrit) of Devatas. They are explained in Shatpath Brahman and many other scriptures very clearly. "Yasya Trayastrinshad Devaa Ange Sarve Samaahitaa, Skamma Tam Bruhi Katamah Swideva Sah”. ~(Atharva Veda 10-7-13) Which means: with God’s influence, these thirty-three (supporting devta) sustain the world. In Brhadaranyaka Upanishad while discussing Brahman, Yajnavalkya is asked how many gods are there. He says that there are three hundred and three and three thousand and three gods. When the question is repeated? He says, thirty three. When the question is again repeated he says, six. Finally, after several repetitions he says ONE. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 1) The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra and Prajapati. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 2
