multilayered tapestry called Muziris

in search of Muziris there are ample documents on muziris now but none would give us the exact location of the historic port site. the discovery of the site is seen largely as the responsibility of historical archaeologists. very few have been working n this field and reports and publications of their works have been few and far between.

International Survey of Jewish Monuments

I recently came across ISJM while ding a write up on Jewish sites and monuments in Kerala. Chekc out this website for details on Jewish heritage in a nutshell. all that we search for may not be there. but it certainly is an ice breaker.

Green Technology- Fridgezoo

Refrigeration is a miracle and necessity of modern living around the world. But you will reduce its efficiency make its parts go to wit’s end and grow older fast if you are indecisive and slow in shoving things in casually and then fishing things out. It's hard to keep something cold when warm air is rushing in. Some refrigerators slowly lose the air suction made thought he rubber sealing which goes old and not replaced. Then came intelligent machines and glass-doored fridges that can help mitigate the problem, but both are expensive. Cheaper options always are what are recommended by us. A gentle but adorable scolding by the Fridgeezoo, a so-called "refrigerator pet" that greets users when they open the fridge door and berates them if they leave it open too long. The original Fridgeezoo animals (a penguin, walrus, seal, and polar bear) had voices provided by the Japanese hip-hop group Romancrew. Imagine you have a mini walrus telling you that you're wasting energy. And you don't want to upset your mini-walrus.
