Rebel is one more Don kind movie from the same director
Raghava Lawrence, only with slight modification in story. Don movie starring
Nagarjuna was having the story of killing the villain losing his close associates
except heroine. The same sage continues with Rebel movie too. Apart from direction,
Choreography, screen play and music direction are also done by Raghava Lawrence.
Even though movie tends to have few humorous situations, we
can clearly make out the dry dialogues lacking actual humor and the difficulty
with which Hero and Comedian trying to keep the scene lively. Story and song
are not different from any other Tollywood movie.
Story is not so impressive but visuals are good, new stunts
really make you stun for minutes. Rebel Movie is a perfect watch for Prabhat’s
fans. The story has many illogical things difficult to visualize and makes no
sense. Movies are made to entertain but it should retain minimum reality.
First part of story is all about hero searching for the villain
and the second part is of killing the villain by narrating his flashback.
Tamanna has acted boldly in this movie, compared to her
earlier movies. Duet of Brahmanandam and Kovai Sarla is seen much often till
the interval. Even the simple thing like cut wound spots changing their
position is seen in every scene.
I felt the movie resembles Don in many aspects. One time see
for those who have not seen movie Don.

Dressing rooms are in pathetic condition not maintained properly. Some steps to maintain cleanliness have to be maintained as many waste things were floating in the water in the cave canal.
I used CamStudio to record the how-to video for applying online application for passport. The problem I faced was that the video file created was about 1.5 GB. It is very difficult to compress that video without losing quality and also it is difficult to upload such a huge file on any video sharing platforms including YouTube. I tried many video converters to compress the video maintaining the quality but all went in vain, if the file size reduces, quality decreases so that screen is not clearly visible.
Again uninstalling all the installed software was head ache as many tool bars and additional search bars won’t go away so easily. Finally searching a lot on Internet, I got to know that such kind of compression without losing much quality can be done using VLC Media player itself. Even though VLC Media Player is widely used for playing video and audio files, other usages are less known.
It is easy to convert the video and audio files to the desired format using VLC Media Player. It not only changes the video to desired format, it also compresses the video size without losing much quality.
You may be surprised to know, 1.5 GB file was compressed to just 10MB and it was easy to share on YouTube.
Steps to Convert and Compress using VLC Media Player:
1) Open the VLC Media Player, select Media in Tool bar and in that click on ‘Convert/ Save’ option or you can use short cut key Ctrl + R
2) Select the file which you want to convert and click on Convert/Save
3) Select the Destination folder where you want to save the converted file, while saving the file name save with the extension (suppose if you want to save file name as abc converting into MP4 format then give name file name as abc.mp4 not only abc )
4) Even you can select or change the Audio or Video codec by using the Edit Selected Profile option present next to profile selection drop down menu
5) Click on Start, within few minutes you will get the converted file in specified format and you will see that size of file will be reduced

Mirjan fort has become quite famous place after the
renovation works done by the Central Archeological Department. The old fort
which was almost near to extinct by the negligence of local and government has
been abandoned for many years. But recent interest by the Archeological
department has resulted in keeping of last remains of the fort.
To imagine the present state of this fort, only the outer
boundary walls are present in this fort and other inner walls are destroyed for
the search of some valuable goods or got affected by natural factors like heavy
rain fall. I got to hear many things about this fort in childhood that there
has been enormous wealth in this fort and being stolen by many and ran away
from this place. Seven big wells present inside in this fort are worth seeing
because it has stair case kind of steps so that one can reach till the bottom
of well. After the renovation the steps to bottom of wells is being locked and
can’t go till down.
Entrance of Mirjan fort
One can see the remains if you enter inside the fort, only
evidences of some buildings (foundations or marking made on land) are found. Machicoulis
– balcony like projections are found by which stones and boiling water was
dropped in order to attack on enemies. Also the fort is surrounded by Moats to
avoid direct enemy attack!
Tri -color flag will be hoisted on Independence and Republic days
inside fort no walls, only remains of marking on land
View Point (small window like structure) at the top to see the entrance of fort
According to the display boards found at this place, this
fort was one of the major godown or ware house during the time of Portuguese,
Dutch, French and even British till the stored goods were sent to port.
the place where the meetings were conducted during the Raj
Large
amounts of spices and sandal wood were stored here and they were sent to the nearby
ports (most probably of Goa or Mangalore as they are on the same coast). This
fort was ruled by Samanthas of Vijayanagar dynasty and also ruled by Rani Chennabhaira
Devi of Gerusoppa (popularly called as Pepper Queen by British) In the later
part of 1600, this fort was under the ruling of Maratas, Adil Shahis and Tippu
Sultan before it was occupied by British.
Mirjan fort is 13 kms from Kumta in Karwar district of Karnataka. Once has to go two kilometers to reach this fort after reaching Mirjan. Government has appointed full time employees to take care of this fort at least the remains.
Recent GoDaddy DNS outage created havoc among domain owners
and made them to look for alternatives if any, at that time the transfer of
domain name registrar came as a salve. Domain registrars are the authorized
dealers for providing domain name registration services to the general public (Even
referral based resellers will also be affiliated to one or the other
registrars) Even it is possible to change the domain registrars if you are not
satisfied with the present domain registrar.
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)
had laid few rules for transfers of domains to the new registrar.
Steps involved in the process of transferring domain from present registrar to new registrar:
1) Contact the new registrar to which you want to switch
(usually all domain registrars provide this service as it adds business for
them) from your present domain name (or website address) along with
Authorization code provided.
Authorization code will be given or send by the present
registrar to the Admin or to the e-mail id provided during the time of
registration of domain name. Uncheck domain protection if you have enabled to
get the authorization code and make switching easier.
2) Once the request is initiated, the new registrar will
contact the admin through email which have to be confirmed through mail. If this is not done or the mail is not answered domain registrar transfer
process will be cancelled.
3) Even the present domain registrar will contact the domain
name owner or the admin of the domain through mail seeking confirmation
regarding the transfer request. This is also done in order to avoid any fraudulent
requests. Even this mail has to be answered positively to proceed with the
domain transfer.
The domain will be transferred successfully once the domain
name owner confirms the requests of both the new registrar and the present
registrar. Necessary information about the admin and the payment of charges has to be made in advance for the transfer of registrar in accordance with the new registrar pricing.
4) The control of domain settings will be with the new
registrar and necessary domain server information will be taken from old
registrar, if not the domain server information need to be updated manually.
The transfer of domain registrar may take two weeks time.
There are few restrictions on transfer of domain registrars, it is not possible
to transfer domain from one registrar to another within a period of sixty days
from the date of purchase and this condition applies even after switching to
new registrar.
The present domain registrar may charge fees for making the
domain registrar transfer to a new one. Also, new registrar will charge fees
for their service with effect from the date of transfer.

Many are not aware of this magnificent and enjoyable water
fall situated very near to Honnavar. One has to take left way near toll gate
present before entering Honnavar from Bhatkal side. I visited this place once
in summer but didn’t like it much as it was dry without water. This time I made
sure to visit this place in monsoon as this region receives good rain fall and
there will be full of water in all water falls of this surrounding.
There is a wrong sign board displayed on way to Apsarakonda with distance as 1 kilometer but it is more than that nearly three kilometers.
Water falls from a height of 8 to 10 meters and makes it
perfect place to enjoy and play in water. Just behind water fall there is cave
like entrance, don’t know where that will head to.
Only at the place of water fall t is more deep may be 6 to 7
meters. Other than that it is normal may be 5 meters so no problem to walk in
water. But be careful as there are small stones inside pricking while walking
in water. Even running water pull is less so even children can enjoy nicely.
This water fall present behind Umamba Mahaganapathi and Ugra
Narasimha temple, a branch of Sri Ramchandrapura Matt. Forest department takes
care of this water falls and recently a park is also being constructed with
boating to attract visitors.
