Eighty years ago, Indian cinema achieved a landmark on this day when director Ardeshir Irani made Alam Ara, the first ever Indian film with sound. The film also marked the beginning of filmi music.

Alam Ara was first screened at the Majestic Cinema in Bombay on March 14, 1931. It ran for two hours and four minutes, and used a Tanar Sound System to record the dialogues.

Irani recognised the importance that sound would have on the cinema, and raced to complete Alam Ara before several other contemporary sound films. The film was based on a Parsi play written by Joseph David. David later served as a writer for Irani's film company.

March 14, 2011, is a special day for Indian cinema. It marks the 80th anniversary of Alam Ara - the first Indian film with sound.

On this day in 1931, Alam Ara debuted at the Majestic Cinema in Mumbai causing such frenzy among the audience that the police had to be called in.

Alam Ara also featured the first song of Indian cinema, De De Khuda Ke Naam Par, sung by actor Wazir Mohammed Khan.

The film, directed by Ardeshir Irani, is a love story between a prince and a gypsy girl and was based on a Parsi play.

The sad part, however, is that as a result of a fire at the National Film Archive of India at Pune in 2003, the last surviving print of Alam Ara was destroyed, and the film is no longer available in its original format.

This Pune based film maker is credited with Alam Ara for bringing talkies to India, just four years after the introduction of talking movies in America. Though the credit stands, there is not a single copy of Alam Ara after the last prints of the movie were destroyed in a fire in 2003 at the National Film Archives, Pune. The Indian Government till this day regularly advertises to seek anyone who might have a copy of the movie.

Alam Ara was based on a play by Joseph David about a king and his two wives who compete with each other to give birth to the kingdom's heir. The tale, mixed with romance, infidelity and action, was a treat to the ears with its evergreen songs. One among them was the 'De De Khuda Ke Naam Par' which is the mother of all Indian songs. Alam Ara, which means 'The light of the world' in Urdu, was truly instrumental in bringing light and 'sound' to Indian cinema.

A British nuclear expert has told The First Post that the explosion at the Fukushima I nuclear plant looks likely to be a "significant nuclear event" with a bigger impact on public health than the 1979 meltdown at Three Mile Island.

John Large, who has been a nuclear analyst since the mid-1960s and is a Fellow of the Royal Society, says the Japanese government may be significantly downplaying the seriousness of the accident – and he believes it could have far-reaching consequences for the nuclear industry worldwide.

What damage was caused?

The blast tore the roof off the building and damaged surrounding walls. Four workers were injured. Japanese authorities told the International Atomic Energy Authority that the explosion happened outside the reactor's primary containment vessel, which appears to be intact.

What is the radiation risk?

Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (Nisa) reported higher levels of radiation around the power station over the weekend and the presence of caesium-137 and iodine-131 in the air. These are radioactive isotopes produced in fission reactions. The isotopes were released when steam was vented from the reactor.

Radiation monitors around the site recorded a radiation level of 500 microSieverts per hour on Saturday afternoon, a quarter of the annual dose the general population is exposed to due to natural background radiation. The level of radiation at the power station's main gate fell on Sunday to a very low level of 3.2 microSieverts.

Fukushima I is just 40 miles from the epicentre of the closest of 248 separate seismic shocks which have taken place in the past week off the coast of Japan. A 'boiling water' plant, it has six reactors.

Dramatic footage of an explosion at the plant's No 1 reactor on Saturday has commanded global attention. Now the Japanese government says it is fighting to prevent a second meltdown at No 3 reactor.

Meanwhile, sister plant Fukushima II, which is just 11km further away from the earthquake epicentre, is also in trouble. Cooling systems have broken at three of its four reactors – and at least one reactor has failed.

Efforts are underway to evacuate 210,000 people living within 20km of Fukushima I. Earlier, on Friday, 2,800 people were taken from their homes by coach.

When will the power station be safe?

The strategy of pumping sea water into nuclear reactors is untested. It could take several days to bring the temperature and pressure of the reactor cores down to within safe limits.

If the cooling fails, the reactors could overheat and cause a total meltdown of the radioactive fuel rods in the core. This would only lead to a major release of radiation if the reactor's containment vessel was breached.

The Japanese authorities have classified the sitiuation as a level 4 "accident with local consequences" on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES). The scale runs from zero for a deviation in normal operations to seven for a major accident. The Three Mile Island incident in 1979 was a five and Chernobyl in 1986 was a seven on the scale.

Any one searching for information about the earthquake or tsunami in Japan will see static links providing information about the response to the natural disasters. Google has made it easy to report a missing person or information about a missing person.

This is similar to Google's efforts after the earthquake in the Christchurch area of New Zealand, Google's Japanese Quake Person Finder allows users to share when they have received information that a missing person is alive or to create a record for a new missing person. There are currently about 6,100 records.

Google Inc's Android software will become the World's No. 2 operating system for cell phones by the end of 2010, surpassing rival offerings from Microsoft Corp, Research in Motion and Apple Inc, according to a new report.

Google's Android software, which it offers free to cell phone vendors, has experienced dramatic growth since two years.

The market for mobile phone software has become a 'battlefield' for technology companies, as consumers increasingly use their phones to access the Internet, listen to digital music and play video games. More than 200,000 Android phones, from various companies like Motorola, Samsung etc., are sold every day.

Days after your logo celebrated the birthday of writer Jules Verne, your home-page Google Doodle today marks the 164th birthday of Thomas Edison.

At this rate, a user could become accustomed to equally inventive logos every morn.

Google is featuring a special Google logo, also known as Google Doodle, for the 164th birthday of Thomas Edison. The logo illustrates some of Edison’s most famous inventions including the electric light bulb, phonograph, and the motion picture camera. Edison holds over 1,000 U.S. patents and is the most well-known inventor of all time.

Our favorite touch about today's animated logo is the luminous light bulb that brightens and fades, spotlighting the inventor's electric-light contributions. The catch, of course, is that it was Britain's Edward Swan who "invented" the light bulb; but it was Edison who patented and popularized the electric light bulb in the United States. (Edison and Swan are said to have later merged their cross-the-Pond companies.)

Prior to his death in 1931, the Wizard of Menlo Park held more than 1,000 patents, including for electrical printing machines, telephone technology, motion-picture cameras, mechanical vote-recorders, the stock ticker and the phonograph.

A pornographic MMS showing two Jawaharlal Nehru University hostellers making love has rocked the prestigious institution, prompting the administration to hastily investigate the scandal. The high resolution MMS, shot in April last year, started doing the rounds of the campus recently and came to the notice of the security office last Thursday.

The chief proctor’s office said the boy and the girl in the video were both students of the School of Languages. The girl has since quit campus without completing her studies. A computer science student is also under scanner for his alleged involvement in the making of the 1GB video which seems to have been professionally shot.

“All we can say right now is that it appears that the two boys made the video in April last year. What we are investigating is why it was circulated now — eight-nine months later? Or is it that it was in circulation but the administration didn’t know of it?” said JNU’s chief proctor H B Bohidar.

The matter has not been officially reported to the police but the cops have launched their own probe. “We are aware of the MMS allegations and have decided to ask the Vasant Kunj police to investigate. The ACP will seek a report from the JNU authorities and give it to us. Depending on the report, we will pursue the case further,” said DCP (south) H G S Dhaliwal.

JNU authorities said they are trying to find out if the video was made for commercial use. “The MMS is of high resolution and shot in a very professional manner which indicates use of high-end equipment and technology,” said chief proctor Bohidar.

Have you ever heard of Amazon’s Eve? Born in Turlock, CA, 31-year-old Eve Amazon is 6’8 “tall, making it the world’s top model. Because of his height, it is actually considered a” plus size “model.

At 6'8", Amazon Eve is one tall drink of water. The Guiness Book of World Records certified "World's Tallest Model" (who also makes money working as a dominatrix) was at the Playboy Mansion for a party last week where "the bunnies sized me up and treated my body like a stripper pole!"

Amazon Eve first got her big concert modeling when she was featured on the cover of “Zoo Weekly” in November 2009.

Before breaking into the world of modeling, she worked as a fitness trainer. She now travels worldwide and has been in many magazines.

After creating a small stir when she appeared on the cover of an Australian tabloid photographed to a mere slip of a gal, Eve is ready to parlay her small amount of fame into something bigger. She tells FOX411 that she would be a "perfect Bond villain" (and admittedly it would be fun to see her snap a couple Bond girls in two).

Although most people believe that there is something high to envy, there are some issues specific height that people encounter during the. Amazon’s Eve, the Americans with Disabilities Act, disabled. Tall individuals as Amazon threshold can be considered “disabled” when exit signs are too low or doorways of the buildings are too short, for example.

Jules Gabriel Verne (French pronunciation: [ʒyl vɛʁn]; February 8, 1828 – March 24, 1905) was a French Breton author who pioneered the science-fiction genre. He is best known for novels such as Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), A Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873). Verne wrote about space, air, and underwater travel before air travel and practical submarines were invented, and before practical ameans of space travel had been devised. He is the third most translated individual author in the world, according to Index Translationum. Some of his books have been made into films. Verne, along with Hugo Gernsback and H. G. Wells, is often popularly referred to as the "Father of Science Fiction".

Jules Gabriel Verne was born in Nantes, Brittany in France, to Pierre Verne, an attorney, and his wife, Sophie. The eldest of five children, Jules spent his early years at home with his parents in the bustling harbor city of Nantes. The family spent summers in a country house just outside the city, on the banks of the Loire River. Here Verne and his brother Paul would often rent a boat for a Franc a day. The sight of the many ships navigating the river sparked Jules's imagination, as he describes in the autobiographical short story Souvenirs d'Enfance et de Jeunesse. At the age of nine, Jules and Paul, of whom he was very fond, were sent to boarding school at the Saint Donatien College (Petit séminaire de Saint-Donatien). As a child, he developed a great interest in travel and exploration, a passion he showed as a writer of adventure stories and science fiction. His interest in writing often cost him progress in other subjects.

At the boarding school, Verne studied Latin, which he used in his short story Le Mariage de Monsieur Anselme des Tilleuls in the mid 1850s. One of his teachers may have been the French inventor Brutus de Villeroi, professor of drawing and mathematics at the college in 1842, and who later became famous for creating the US Navy's first submarine, the USS Alligator. De Villeroi may have inspired Verne's conceptual design for the Nautilus in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, although no direct exchanges between the two men have been recorded.

Verne's second French biographer, Marguerite Allotte de la Fuye, formulated the rumor that Verne was so fascinated with adventure at an early age that he stowed away on a ship bound for the West Indies, but that Jules's voyage was cut short when he found his father waiting for him at the next port
