Adolf Hitler had Jewish, African ancestors, show DNA tests
Tue, Aug 24 12:04 PM
London, Aug 24 (IANS) Nazi leader Adolf Hitler possibly had Jewish as well as African ancestors - communities whom he had pledged to exterminate, new DNA tests have revealed.
Daily Express Tuesday reported that samples taken from Hitler's relatives link him to both the -Jewish community and people from North Africa.
Jean-Paul Mulders, a journalist, was able to investigate Hitler's DNA after he managed to lay his hands on a serviette dropped by the dictator's great-nephew Alexander Stuart-Houston who lives in New York. A serviette is a small square of cloth or paper used while eating to protect the clothes, wipe the mouth and hand.
He got a second sample from an Austrian cousin of Hitler, a farmer known as Norbert H, the media report said.
The DNA tests threw up a startling result.
It revealed a form of the Y-chromosome that is rare in Germany and the rest of Western Europe, but common among Jewish and North African groups.
Experts now think that Hitler had migrant relatives who settled in his homeland.
Mulders said both the test samples had a form of genetic material known as Haplop group E1b1b, proving an 'irrefutable link' to the Nazi leader.
'It is most commonly found in the Berbers of Morocco, in Algeria, Libya and Tunisia, as well as among Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews. One can from this postulate that Hitler was related to people whom he despised,' the Belgian journalist was quoted as saying.
Ronny Decorte, a genetic specialist in Belgium, said: 'Hitler would not have been pleased about this.
'Race and blood was central in the world of the Nazis. Hitler's concern over his descent was not unjustified. He was apparently not 'pure' or 'Aryan'.'

Samsung Corby Plus
It was lightly drizzling and there is cool breeze… it’s Saturday, and after office got over, Raj took me to Poorvika for getting me a mobile…
That small shop is loaded with nearly fifty people… everyone selecting their favorite mobiles… the sales person show as many models and none inspired me… I said no to all the models shown… at last Raj lost his patience and he selected and bought me his favourite one – the Samsung Corby Plus… I don’t like as it has touch screen and qwerty keyboard.
Whenever I doesn’t like some thing Raj likes it a lot… we both were different extremes and don’t have anything in common except for the love we had on each other. I kept my face like a GEM (Ginger Eating Monkey) : - ( and kept silent. I never uttered him a word while he was putting bill and waiting for the memory card to be loaded with songs… I saw a kid running here and there when his parents are choosing mobiles. At last when their purchase is over they are offered with a Tiffin box, key chains, mobile accessories and a smiley ball.
This smiley ball in yellow color attracted me more than the new Samsung Corby Plus. I asked Raj to get me that… he started laughing and told you are not a child and I wont get it to you.. I kept my face like crying and told that I want it for sure… he looked at me angrily and went to pay the bill.
Hmmm... I thought its over and he won’t get me that… after the mobile is packed and all the formalities over, Raj slowly asked the sales person “Is this smiley ball for sale?” the sales person said no and offered us two balls instead of one… I was very happy to see those balls.. Raj told with a wishful smile to the sales person that the ball is for my baby… the sales person asked how many year old is your baby… Raj suddenly told 24 years old : - ) you know what, he meant me only :- ) and after getting the ball he did all tricks to made me laugh… I laughed like a child non stop on that day… I have no words to thank god to give such a wonderful man to me as my better half…

GET UP
Bringing a giraffe into the world is a tall order. A baby giraffe falls 10 feet from its mother's womb and usually lands on its back. Within seconds it rolls over and tucks its legs under its body. From this position it considers the world for the first time and shakes off the last vestiges of the birthing fluid from its eyes and ears. Then the mother giraffe rudely introduces its offspring to the reality of life.
In his book, "A View from the Zoo", Gary Richmond describes how a newborn giraffe learns its first lesson.
The mother giraffe lowers her head long enough to take a quick look. Then she positions herself directly over her calf. She waits for about a minute, and then she does the most unreasonable thing. She swings her long, pendulous leg outward and kicks her baby, so that it is sent sprawling head over heels.
When it doesn't get up, the violent process is repeated over and over again. The struggle to rise is momentous. As the baby calf grows tired, the mother kicks it again to stimulate its efforts. Finally, the calf stands for the first time on its wobbly legs.
Then the mother giraffe does the most remarkable thing. She kicks it off its feet again. Why? She wants it to remember how it got up. In the wild, baby giraffes must be able to get up as quickly as possible to stay with the herd, where there is safety. Lions, hyenas, leopards, and wild hunting dogs all enjoy young giraffes, and they'd get it too, if the mother didn't teach her calf to get up quickly and get with it.
The late Irving Stone understood this. He spent a lifetime studying greatness, writing novelized biographies of such men as Michelangelo, Vincent van Gogh, Sigmund Freud, and Charles Darwin.
Stone was once asked if he had found a thread that runs through the lives of all these exceptional people. He said, "I write about people who sometime in their life have a vision or dream of something that should be accomplished and they go to work.
"They are beaten over the head, knocked down, vilified, and for years they get nowhere. But every time they're knocked down they stand up. You cannot destroy these people. And at the end of their lives they've accomplished some modest part of what they set out to do."

Government Hospital @ Madurai
"Where could one find a Kili Josiyar!!!"
"Where could one find a Kili Josiyar!!!"
I found him at the pavements of Government Rajaji Hospital @ Madurai…
I use to go to my office crossing GH daily…
There are nearly 100 kutty kutty shops in the pavement of GH. Every shop was started to meet out the livelihood of owner, but in due course it is converted in to a social medium to help the patients, though all the shops are started in a profit motive.
I could see ambulance screaming into the GH every day that carries patients and there are lots of inpatients and out patients.
What is the role of the Kili Josiyar? I wondered… people believe in themselves or the Kili Josiyar!!!
The Kili Josiyar predicts the future of everyone and tells them; here again comes the humanity and kindness rather than profitability... though a person’s future is going to be tough, he soothes the person by telling that everything will be alright… thus he act as a real motivator
Thus the world is running in hope, faith and belief : - )

My dream....
Once I had a dream,
Which made me scream.
The world is full of green,
Which is bestowed by the lord in the shrine.
There is cool air and breeze,
That makes me freeze.
No war and only peace,
That seemed to be nice.
Everyone’s face is full of smile,
As there is no Tsunami or gale.
None died due to terrorism,
As Everyone lives with patriotism.
No sufferings or illness,
Only love and brotherliness.
When I wake and come to my real life,
Only then I realized it as hype.
Lord says its thy world,
Is my desire odd?...
Which made me scream.
The world is full of green,
Which is bestowed by the lord in the shrine.
There is cool air and breeze,
That makes me freeze.
No war and only peace,
That seemed to be nice.
Everyone’s face is full of smile,
As there is no Tsunami or gale.
None died due to terrorism,
As Everyone lives with patriotism.
No sufferings or illness,
Only love and brotherliness.
When I wake and come to my real life,
Only then I realized it as hype.
Lord says its thy world,
Is my desire odd?...
