…and that’s why INDIA is the best!

To comment and complain on the innumerable problems around you is one thing. To actually go to other countries and see the reason for their development and then compare the facts with our home country is an eye opener indeed.

Yes I have been to a few places around the world. Recent most a one month trip to US. No doubt US is a wonderful country indeed, but if you see the history and geography and other factors, it is but obvious. In the complete history of United States, not a single war has been fought on their land. They have neighbours like Canada who don’t even drink water without asking US…well not literally but they are very friendly neighbors indeed. US is a humongous country and the population density is not much, only of fraction of what it is in India. Also the fact that it is surrounded by water on 3 sides makes it abundant in water and other natural resources. Yes if you take all this into account it is but obvious that US will develop like it has!

Here’s something you might not know. US is actually like Australia when it comes to native citizens. The original inhabitants of US were called the ‘Red Indians’.Sailors from Europe traveled to America while exploring new lands. All the native Red Indians were killed and the people of US have their great great ancestors, actually from Europe. Read more here if you want. Even we were ruled by the Portuguese and the British, but we fought for our freedom and have achieved Independence. We are the natives of this soil….all our great great grandfathers have been born in this great country.

I am not criticizing US for anything, people who took over the continent have built and developed it like anything. Even India developed under British if you recollect, they have done lots of good for India in terms of technological advancements. But the fact the we have fought for our country is a remarkable achievement….something which may be we don’t  realize and may be don’t value much today!

All the other thing about our great country we all know. We are the best of minds in the world. To give a reference to this, there are mentions of the subatomic particles such as protons, electrons and neutrons in our Vedas which are like thousands of years old. People from India travel west for a better life and people from west come to India to do research on Indian culture.  I met an American guy in my flight, he said he is doing research on Indian culture since over 30 years. He has written several books on it and even his daughter is studying the same in Pune University here. A classic example to exemplify that the world is round indeed….we are going westwards and the west is following the east more and more….many other such things like the yoga which is of Indian origin are very popular there.

If you know me, I am not much of a political nor a religious person.  I always think global…I think myself on more of a broader spectrum of mankind, along with being a very proud Indian. The fact that India has developed so much considering all the constraints like the unbelievable population density….hostile neighbors on all sides…so many wars and terrorist attacks on our country…we still survive…we still stand up and rise…we show the world that the Indian spirit is like no other…that INDIA holds the glory, the culture and the strong fundamentals laid by our great ancestors... and that’s why INDIA is the best!

10 Years of 'vyaskartik2001'

The year was 2001 and I had given my 10^th standard board exams. There is a 4 month vacation after that if I remember correctly. Well I would have played hell lotta cricket for sure, but there is something else as well which happened in the year 2001….ten years ago.

Internet was kinda novelty thing and not everyone was online, atleast not even half of what it is today! Damn I didn’t even had a rig that time.  I wanted to learn a few things and I used to go to the nearby cyber café. I still remember my first date with internet.

Yahoo was the buzz at that time, Google was not that big I believe.  I went to the café and asked the guy there to help me create an email account on yahoo and rediff. First I went for rediff…had to create a username, tried kartikvyas..booked…vyaskartik…booked.  Then I went crazy and made the id myheartwillgoonkartik@rediffmail.com ……lol another one was borntowin@hotmail.com  . I don’t use these two anymore. For Yahoo, I used vyaskartik2001@yahoo.com ,that somehow stuck and I still use vyaskartik2001 to create email accounts J

A lot has happened in these 10 years.  To the internet, to me and to me with respect to the internet…hehe. Those were the days of yahoo chat rooms, I remember having made 122 friends in the yahoo messenger.  asl pls is how it used to start…hehe.Now I don't even used Yahoo, Google is my life now! I hope to work there some day! 

The results of 10^th grade came, I scored a very good 81%, damn I had slogged a lot too! After that I did two years of junior college in science stream. Still continuing with the Yahoo messenger and hell I also gave the IIT-JEE!

Remember the SP classes which I had joined, I was in the vocational batch. It implies all super scholy people who had taken vocational subjects…I was a rare breed there with Biology. I always believe studyin or working with people who are better than you is good for you!

Did my Computer Engineering after that. That was the time when my interest for Computers grew a lot. Used to read a lotta magazines in the library like Digit, Electronics for You and Linux. I used to be one of the few whi used to be there in the library most of the time. Yes even now, even in Infy..I spent lotta time in the library. I somehow feel very comfortable and happy in between hundreds and thousands of books.

I did my Engineering and got an oncampus job at Infosys.  The period at Infosys has made me what I am today.  2 blogs, 1 review site and 1 online startup. Also authored around 11 research papers there from subjects including VPN, SOA, Cloud Computing, Ruby on Rails, Comparison between active directory and Fedora. Wrote book of knowledge on MySQL and IBM WebsphereMQ. The time spent at Infy was just….simply fantastic. Access to lots of resources was the main factor. We all have access to the internet, the thing is identifying your passion and going for it!

I remember I was not doing very well in Infy training, not even feelin that good. Toppers from all over the country competing against each other and surviving through that was certainly not a walk in the park.

One thing noteworthy and certainly by which every Infoscion can relate themselves is the awesome facilities they provide in campus. Having a 1040 seated multiplex screen which is circular from outside just gives you an idea of the magnanimity and  the standards which this company has set in India.

I have taken lots and lots of pictures of Infy campus and when I upload them on Fb, I get reactions that there are not such campuses even in the US. Hand cleaned roads, 5 star guest house accommodations, every sport facility you can ever think of, world class and huge gym, international standard cricket ground are just some of the factors which give you the jaw dropping feeling. And this is prevalent in all the campuses across India.

I indeed consider myself fortunate to have got a chance to have experience all that. I have done part with it to further gain expertise in my field of interest. From going to an internet café first time to going for graduate studies, 'vyaskartik2001' has come a long way indeed! 

Neeta Travels should be BANNED

 Just because you have a big fleet of buses and some kind of monopoly, does not mean you own the road. Meet Neeta travels, the biggest loafers, scoundrels and the worst private bus service I have ever experienced.

Having worked in Pune for the last 5 odd months and have made several trips to and fro from Pune to Mumbai, and having sat numerous times in this stupid bus service, I have gathered enough hatred for them that I feel like removing my chapals and throwing it on them whenever I see their buses. The reasons for the discontent follow.

Consider a trip from Pune to Mumbai. You go to Wakad flyover bus stop, where there is Neeta stop and from where majority IT crowd takes the bus back home on Fridays. People who have already experience their idiosyncrasy are aware that booking ticket in advance is of no use as the busses are always late by at least half an hour.

When a bus finally comes, it will wait at the bus stop for at least another half an hour and sometimes even 45mins till they find people to fill in. I can tell you having experienced all this; it really really causes a lot of frustration as it is just horrible waste of time.

When the bus finally starts, in half hour time, their stop comes at Lonavala, where again they take half an hour break. The bus stop is also good for nothing with highly priced bad food and again waste of time where people just wait for their bus to resume.

Somehow people bear all this as they look forward to go home and any complaints is dealt with a rude remark by them asking to take back our money and get down in the middle of the highway.

Mumbai to Pune is the same. All though they don’t wait for long times at the bus stop. A typical route form Borivali involves complete Mumbai Darshan. Not to mention their busses are all very old, uncomfortable and their management is clearly reflected from the above. They take atleast 3 and a half to 4 hours  on the Mumbai-Pune route compared to 2 and a half to 3 by others such as the MSRTC or the Purple/Prasanna.

Having tolerated their nonsense for initial month, I always opted to ignore Neeta for the to and from journey, once I even took the non AC red ST dabba and it took same time to reach home!

What is IPv6?

 Yesterday June 8th was celebrated as the World IPv6 Day. What is IPv6 and why is it so important? We all know what an IP address is and it is of the form 203.321.234.233 It is a set of four numbers which range from 1 to 255. Each unique number is used to identify every device connected to the internet.

 Now the limitation with this format is that the number of possible combinations is only 4 billion and that is less now as the number of devices online are increasing greatly. Apart from desktops and laptops, now there are millions of smart phones and thousands of tablets and gaming consoles which have online presence and thus an ip address is required for each. Not to forget that all the websites also have their own ip addresses. As of June 5th ,there are 232,000,000 websites in the world. That is huge! 

 What all this adds up to is that Internet is getting full. If nothing is done soon than there won't be many ip addresses left and you won't be able to access the internet. Here is where IPv6 comes in.

 The concept exists since long time, however the implementation has started now.IPv6 is “Internet Protocol Version 6″. The major difference between IPv6 and IPv4 is the difference of bits. IPv6 uses 128 bits while IPv4 uses only 32. A typical IPv6 address will look like:2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334. That is the IPv6 system is capable of 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 addresses (340 uni decillon or 3.4 x 10^38) addresses compared to the 4 billion of IPv4. 

 There will be lots of problem in this migration. The biggest problem is going to be the fact that IPv6 devices and IPv4 devices cannot interact with each other directly as there is a lot of difference between the two. The most visible difference comes in the fact that IPv4 addresses are seperated by dots and IPv6 are seperated by colons. The only solution seems to be that companies will have to offer their online services in both the versions till there is complete migration to IPv6 which may take a very long time.

On 8 June, 2011, Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, Akamai and Limelight Networks were amongst some of the major organizations that offered their content over IPv6 for a 24-hour “test drive". Also there is a detailed wiki page about this which you may check. 

A Tribute to Sourav Ganguly.

 Sourav Ganguly is one of the top cricketers of our time and an unsung hero of sorts too! He is among many others like Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble and Yuvraj Singh to name a few, who have happily served the country under the shadow of The God, Sachin Tendulkar. Ganguly may not have a heap of records under his belt, but his aggressive nature and his support for bringing in youngsters of the likes of Dhoni and Yuvraj to the team has worked wonders for India.

 India won the recently concluded cricket world cup. Whole country in deep gratitude for Yuvraj's performance, Dhoni's captaincy and dedicating the cup victory to Sachin Tendulkar. No mention of Ganguly anywhere, he is indeed the forgotten hero of Indian cricket. 

 India was the number one test team in 2010. Now India is also closing the gap on Australia to be the numero-uno team in ODIs too. Australia as expected did not even manage to reach the world cup finals this time around. A team without great match winners lie Gilchrist, Warne, McGrath, Steve Waugh and Hayden looks a lot different now. The next generation is no match to them. However there are still some good players including Punter, Mike Hussey and Puppy Clarke. 

 Coming back to Ganguly. How can anyone forget the Natwest series win in England. Final match of the 7 match series and Ganguly removing his shirt and waving it in commemoration. Also it was under Ganguly's captaincy that India started winning test matches abroad, including places like Australia and on pitches like Perth. I remember that test series down under. Ganguly himself scored a ton in the first test to secure a draw. Dravid was in the form of his life, India did very well in that series. 

 Not only his captainy, his batting is sublime and there is no questioning that fact. In his prime, he was considered God in West Bengal and is still known as dada by all his fans and lovers. He is a player who has one of the best timings in the cricket world, may be even better than Sachin. He has hit many many towering sixes. The moment of him.... coming down the track to spinners and hitting those biggies will never be forgotten.Also, Geoff boycott would often say while Ganguly is batting, "On off side, first there is God and than there is Sourav: The Prince of Kolkata. "

 Finally, I would like to summarize some if the key moments of his fantastic career and his remarkable achievements:

• Ganguly made his Test debut against England at Lords and scored a superb 131. However not many people know that he followed up with a 136 in the next test match, his second test.
• Second batsman after Sachin Tendulkar to reach the 10k runs mark in ODIs.
• Ganguly was appointed the Captain of the Indian cricket team in February, 2000.
• Ganguly was the Man of the Series in the New Zealand-India 5 match ODI series in November 1999.   
• Ganguly made a mammoth 183 against Sri Lanka in World Cup 1999, which, at that time, was the Highest ODI Score by an Indian, beating Kapil Dev's Record of 175*.
• Ganguly was the Man of the Series in the Pepsi Cup 1999 (March-April) for scoring 278 runs and taking 6 wickets in total.
• Saurav Ganguly has the distinction of being one of the few players in the World to Score a century and take 4 wickets in the same match. (ODIs)
• Saurav Ganguly along with Tendulkar forms the 4th Best Opening Pair in the History of One-day cricket.
• Saurav Ganguly and Tendulkar were involved in a World Record Opening Partnership of 252.
• Saurav Ganguly was named Sport star Person of the Year 1998. He also won the Arjuna Award in 1998.
• Saurav Ganguly was the Highest Run-Scorer for India in ODIs in 1997.
• In the Sahara Cup 1997, Saurav Ganguly set a new World Record for 5 consecutive Man of the Match Awards. He was also the Man of the Series.

Having played very well for KKR in IPL in intitial seasons, he was not selected by KKR in 2011. Many people ignored IPL for that and there is a FB group on it too. Finally, Pune team got him in. Today is his match against KKR and it is gonna be interesting...watch out KKR fans.

My First Android App on the way!

  First things first, the title says "on the way" and it is on the way and not yet arrived! :P This is something in my mind since long long time,to develop an android application. I did download Eclipse long back, but the exe was corrupted. After that I got busy with other things and somehow the android app slipped out.

 Well today I downloaded another Eclipse exe and it worked fine. Hooked it up with the r11 android sdk installer for Windows. Some archived versions of the SDK like the 2.2, 2.3 along with the current 3.1. Currently playing with the Android 2.2, API Level 8. The 3.1 is the latest available version, however 3.0 onwards have been designed specifically for tablets and the avd for that is very very resource hungry, so sticking to froyo for now.

 Tested a few demo apps and works fine in the avd. Now its time to make one of my own. I am thinking of either a utility app or a quote kinda app, where you get various inspiring quotes. I was also thinking of a sticky notes or a Hangman game for android devices when the idea of android development came to my mind first. However, there are already loads and loads of similar application available in the Android market.

 May be I will ponder a couple of days more on what to build. Most probably I will build something simple to start with and than get innovative successively. Development, especially of a complete application is not that simple and I hope I will be able to make something good. Hopefully one of my next post will be titled: My First Android App Released! :-)

If you are interested in Android development too, if you wanna learn or if you wanna join me, feel free to contact me. 

Untitled Part-2 The Logic is Undeniable:When Mr. K meets a Prime!

Untitled Part 2

 Star-date  105. Yes it's been over hundred years. Star-date is defined as the beginning of a new time since time travel was discovered. It is all elaborated,  the journey of a legend, the biggest discovery or the biggest invention, say as you please. If something changes the 'time keeping' method of a species, something which leads to travelling across solar systems and galaxies, something as humongous as warp speed ...yes mankind has come a long way indeed!

 Warp speed is there, time travel is also there, but what about direction? The universe spans across a diameter of over 150 billion light years, and that's just considering one universe, or rather the 'existence' of one single universe. What is there outside of it? Is there anything there outside or it's just all indefinite infinity? May be we are too young to answer these question! The collaboration with the Vulcans was indeed a giant leap in the stride of humans. Will they be able to find some other species which is even more advanced? Are they present in some other Universe?

 They say planets are round, but universe is flat! How can this be possible? A huge chunk of material which exist in the universe is not visible, neither to the Vulcans! Six flavors of quarks: up, down, bottom, up, strange and charm. Six types of leptons: electron, electron neutrino, muon, muon neutrino, tau, tau neutrino.Twelve gauge bosons (force carriers): the photon of electromagnetism, the three W and Z bosons of the weak force, and the eight gluons of the strong force. May be the secret lies in future discovery of more subatomic particles.

 So coming back to the legend of Mr. K. With great powers come great responsibilities. Inventions are time bound, greatness is forever. The search is on for advanced civilization to further demystify the universe. Super Solitary waves, which simply imply traversifcation of solitary waves are being used for this purpose. 5 galaxies being done and documented. Off-course habitat friendly planets are discovered and colonies have been established, still getting satisfied is not Mr. K's cup of tea. Universe is the limit now... and it shall be overcome. The logic is undeniable!

  Large Magellanic Cloud. Named after Ferdinand Magellan, it is the fourth largest galaxy in the Local Group, and forms a pair with the SMC, and from recent research, may not be part of the Milky Way system of satellites at all. A signal has been received in response to the Super Solitary Wave. The symbols are completely different and are not at all familiar. Quantum computers forming a grid trying to decipher this ultra super encipherment.  Mr. K has no answers this time and then suddenly he recollects... Around 500 years back a similar message was received , however ignored as useless radiations from one of the supernova, the assumption seems incorrect now! The legend of the primes, the legend of Cybertonian Milky way, the ultimate mystery of a super species was about to get resolved!

 Was Large Magellanic Cloud Cybertonian? This time they had the direction, they had the destination. Mr. K decided to go for it. With his able, damn mighty almighty able team of super specialists and space scavengers, off they went. Ms. B, Mr. V1 and Mr. V2. Along with Mr. K only three other superhumans had the title of space scavengers, they were the best and history has the legend!

 After time wrapping for a distance of 2 billion light years, which was around 2 years in actual, not considering the wrap speed, a similar message was received as a response to a second Super Solitary Wave and this time the message was deciphered. Yes it was the language of the Primes, it was Cybertronian. The time had come for Mr. K to meet Optimus Prime. Yes, the logic was undeniable!

MOHALI 2011, FAKR HAI!!!

 The biggest by any means of the cricket world cup 2011. 2nd semifinal between India and Pakistan. It still seems like a dream and I am waiting for someone to wake me up.

 The most talked about point at the start of the match was Dhoni's decision of playing Nehra instead of R. Ashwin. Nobody agreed with it and to worsen it, the pitch had ample turn to offer to the spinners. India won the toss and choose to bat.

 There is no denying the fact that Sachin Tendulkar is the numero uno of cricket, however there are many other players who have made countless contributions and won us matches...and are still happy under the shadow of God. Virender Sehwag, he may not have a great batting record, but the runs he makes and the way he makes them is a big confidence booster for the team. Just a Sehwag 30 odd can give India a blistering start, and Mohali was no different.

 The opening 10 overs were all hammer and tongs...from India to Pakistan! A total of 300 plus seemed inevitable, however the rookie Wahab Riaz who was given a go over Shoaib Akhtar had different plans in mind. He had the day of his life in bowling. Not many bowlers dream of dismissing five Indian batsman in a world cup semifinal including the likes of Sehwag, Kohli, Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh. Especially the first ball duck to Yuvraj Singh, was the turning point. India tattering at 6 for 205 in 41 overs. The score of 300 was beyond and there was apprehension, not only in the dressing room but in the hearts of 1.2 billion Indians.

 Batting powerplay has been a vital shortcoming for team India in this world cup. India have lost wickets like a pack of cards on a number of occasions. This time however, India were already six down and a repitition of the past would have been aberrant. Suresh Raina, who had played his first match in the Quarter Finals, had a crucial 5th wicket partnership with Yuvraj Singh which helped India defeat the 4 time champions Australia. This time too, Raina played an invaluable knock of 36 with the tail and made sure that India bat the full fifty overs and make a respectable 260. Also Sachin Tendulkar made invaluable contribution in the middle overs of 86 runs.

 Pakistan has been more than potent as far as bowling goes in this world cup with their captain leading the way with 21 wickets in 7 matches before the semis. India made sure that he did not get any wicket this time around. Pakistan batting, well there has not been a single century from any of their players in this world cup. Dhoni's sublime captaincy with attacking field positions and innovative bowling changes have been lauded by one and all. Semifinal was a masterful bowling performance by all the Indian bowlers, a perfect team effort. Only 5 bowlers used and all bagging 2 wickets each.

 Misbah ul haq....ROFL...poor fellow. He was the one who screwd up Pakistan in the first T20 finals in 2007 which India won and this semifinals, he did it again! He was the centre of mockery of one and all on facebook. He was a tad unlucky too...with wickets falling like heap at the other hand, he had to assure his survival. However he delayed the batting powerplay and the required onslaught, which resulted in their defeat. Again the captaincy and calmness of Dhoni was indeed legendary!

 After the match I decided to go for CAD M with my roommate. Halfway we realized there was not enough petrol to reach Aundh, which was indeed a blessing in disguise as Pune had come down on the streets in celebrations. Not only Pune, whole of India had gone crazy, it was the happiest and most triumpant day for all. There were bikers everywhere shouting and cheering, boys and girls sitting on the window of the cars, drums, crackers and delight. It seemed like a dream and the feeling is still not going...some incident and memories are lifelong and defines a generation. This World Cup semifinal against Pakistan will never be forgotten by anyone!

 Finals in 2 days time @ Mumbai @ Sachin's home ground....Srilanka must be already feeling the tremors of the assault they are going to face, not only from the players but also from the crowds! Jai Hind!

The new DRS & KERS technology @ F1, 2011!

 For those who follow it religiously are aware that since past 3 years, there has been a horde of changes in Formula One racing. I still remember how surprised I was when last year I just saw a race after long time and the rare spoilers were drastically very short in length. Also the qualifying process changes a lot every season, no different for tyre rules and refuelling!

 Come 2011, the gimick is, there are 5 previous champions battling it out this time, something that has not happened in the previous 20 odd years. The big five being Sabastian Vettel(2010), Jenson Button(2009), Lewis Hamilton(2008), Fernando Alonso(2005,2006), Micheal Schumacher (7 times!). Vettel seemed in sublime form in the first round of 2011 at Australian GP!

 Getting back to the technology changes of 2011. The two main addition are the DRS(Drag Reduction System) and KERS(Kinetic Energy Recovery System). The concept of KERS is very simple, as the name suggests, it does the same thing.The way it does it is very very complex.The mechanical KERS system utilises flywheel technology developed by Flybrid Systems to recover and store a moving vehicle’s kinetic energy which is otherwise wasted when the vehicle is decelerated.This is the link where you will find the technical information about it! For the just concluded race at Australia, Red Bull drivers including the winner Sabastian Vettel, did not use the KERS technology!

 The second one called DRS was used by everyone. It was even visible on the speedometer of a racing car which is shown during the race on the TV screen. To get into the details, DRS is implemented by using an adjustable rear wing. How it works is as the car approaches the corners, the rear wing is brought down slightly, which helps in increasing traction and for straights it is brought up, which helps in better acceleration, as simple as that! This is a fantastic link explaining DRS with a 9 minute video from Red Bull racing team, demonstrating the same!

 I am a F1 fanatic and I would like to state that, although these changes seem basic and miniscule, it involves lots and lots of research and millions of dollars worth of investment. Also getting a F1 license is not that simple, neither is F1 racing. F1 pilots(yes, they are called pilots and not drivers!) are subjected to forces of upto 3Gs and loose upto 5 kgs of weight after every race. F1 racing is very very demanding and requires a lot of talent and hard work!

Fortunately, there is gonna be an Indian GP this year at Delhi, first time F1 race in India. It is gonna be on 28-30th October and is subject to circut approval. If it does happen, it will indeed bring a lot of exposure for the sport in India. 

When India tamed the OZ, WC 2011!

 There was a time in Indian cricket before Dhoni when India used to enter every tournament with very high expectations from the crowd and ultimately resulting in disappointment and with majority of success due to Sachin Tendulkar!

Now, that time seem long long gone, Dhoni has indeed revolutionized the Indian cricket. If you thought that winning the inaugural T20 was a matter of chance, you would have definitely changed your mind now! India was ranked one in test cricket throughout in 2010, rank two in ODIs and undefeated at home! This is the new team India under the able, cool and highly potent as well as lethal captainship of MS Dhoni!

World Cup 2011, India v/s Australia, 2nd Quarter Finals. India one of the domineering favorites in the tournament. Australia, 4 time champs, but fresh from their first world cup loss in ages against Pak. Motera, Ahmedabad witnessed history on 24th, March, 2011.

OZ won the toss and choose to bat. India opening bowling with R. Ashwin. As per Sunil Gavaskar, he is gonna win the world cup for India. Such comment from such a man, means a lot and this guy Ashwin has great temperament, control and displays tremendous maturity! Australia made 260 in first innings, which could have been easily 275-300, had it not been for the best Indian fielding effort ever and fantastic bowling changes from MS!

Half time, the game is on! Enter Sachin Tendulkar, looking for revenge of the 2003 world cup final loss! However this Indian batting line up is much different than the 2003. These are bunch of talented fearless young guns who play with aggression, play with attitude and play like champions! This is the new bleed blue Indian side! Majority of the batsman chipped in the run chase and Yuvi was the man who saw it through!

Also it was no ordinary match for me! After the amazing experience of watching a movie in a thousand plus multiplex capacity at Infosys, Mysore full of youngsters, it was time something would be even more enthralling. Over 150 employees at Infosys, Pune at a small lobby, shouting at the top of their voice, cheering the Indian team to march on! The atmosphere was simple electrifying and an experience that I would never forget! With India taking on Pak next in the semis, you can only imagine....HELL WILL BREAK LOOSE!!!!!!!!
