How to find someone - A guide to finding someone online

With all the new websites available to help you find someone on the internet, individuals are discovering amazing information about their friends and people that they know that can often surprise them.

There are loads of sites that are mainly just for social information these are good sites for getting small amounts of information, then you can use the new information to perform additional searches on other sites and build up a nice collection of information about the person that will eventually fit together like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle until you track them down.

There's not one website that provides all the functionality that you need, so you need to do some research to find out which is the best one for you.

Google is usually the first method used to find a person, but if they don't own a website or blog this usually doesn't work.

Facebook can be used seeing as almost everybody has an accoutn these days. Problems do arise however, since Facebook has been clampingdown on pirvacy. There were a lot of complaints about how easily available peoples information was, so Facebook locked it down a lot and it is not as easy to find people there as it once was. If somebody sets their profile to private it will be a lot harder to find them since you won't be able to tell which account actually belongs to them.

As it turns out there are better ways. For example there are online directories that hold a lot of information about individuals. these directories can often charge for access.

Before you buy access to a directory you need to make sure that it is the one that you need. Some directories only contain some information about people, and they may not even cover the area in which your target person resides.

Once you have recognized what kind of information you need to discover about an individual, it is then just a situation of choosing the most matched data source for your needs.

Another technique of discovering someone is to use the electoral roll which contains everybody in a nation that can vote. The electoral roll can contain useful information such as the persons contact telephone number.

This whole process is made a lot easier if the person owns a website. Everybody that registers a domain name has to enter their details with the domain registrar, which can be looked up for free using free WHOIS services.

London 2012: GB tennis team to miss opening ceremony

 Britain's Olympic tennis team have been told they are not permitted to attend the London 2012 opening ceremony.

The eight-strong squad, some of whom planned to take part, were informed of the decision by email on Friday.

A British Olympic Association spokesman told BBC Sport: "It is a choice made by each sport team leader together with the athletes.


"While the ceremonies are a significant occasion, performance comes first for Team GB's athletes."

Tennis team leader Paul Hutchins told the players in writing that none of them would be present at the event.

Anne Keothavong and Elena Baltacha play singles on Saturday, with Andy and Jamie Murray, Colin Fleming and Ross Hutchins, and Heather Watson and Laura Robson in doubles action.

Murray and Watson begin their singles campaigns on Sunday.

The opening ceremony starts at 21:00 BST and will finish after midnight.

Baltacha backed the decision: "We're here to compete. It would have been really nice to go but we're here for a reason and that has to come first. If we were to go we wouldn't be back until late and that's not the best preparation."

Athletes will be transported to a holding area where they can sit or stand while waiting to join a 90-minute parade inside the Olympic Stadium.

Eight tennis players are to carry their nation's flag: Max Mirnyi (Belarus), Marcos Baghdatis (Cyprus), Stephanie Vogt (Liechtenstein), Agnieszka Radwanska (Poland) Horia Tecau (Romania), Novak Djokovic (Serbia), Stanislas Wawrinka (Switzerland) and Maria Sharapova (Russia).

However, all of them play their opening matches on Sunday.

The BOA discussed the issue at length and agreed that athletes competing in the first 72 hours of the Games should prioritise performance.

A final decision is made by each sport following consultation between the team leader, coaches and athletes.

BOA chief executive Andy Hunt said that around half of the 541 athletes attending the ceremony would be a "reasonable" outcome.

None of the swimming or athletics squads will be there, while members of the eventing, sailing and road race cycling teams are also set to miss out.

Others, such as triathlete Alistair Brownlee, will be training in other parts of the country and overseas.

Day two: 21 States plunge into darkness as 3 grids collapse

An overstrained power generation and transmission structure spreading across 21 States of the North, East and North-East regions collapsed on Tuesday, plunging half of the country into darkness, trapping hundreds of miners in Jharkhand and West Bengal and paralysing the movement of inter-State trains. (The miners were later rescued.)

The second massive breakdown in as many days was caused by the continuing grid indiscipline on the part of the State Electricity Boards (SEBs) and power utilities that overdrew power from an already overstretched generation system. On Monday, the northern grid collapsed and it was restored after 15 hours. The Eastern and North-Eastern transmission lines too failed on Tuesday afternoon.

Although the Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL) maintained that most areas would see power restored by 7.30 p.m., the situation is expected to become normal only after midnight. The Power Ministry and the PGCIL were unable to pinpoint the cause of the outage. States were overdrawing power was all that they had to say.

Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan refused to adhere to grid discipline and continued to overdraw power despite repeated warnings by the Northern Regional Load Despatch Centre (NRLDC) and other State centres, posing a serious danger to the safety of the grid. Even more shocking is the fact that most of these States have refused to install under frequency relays (UFRs) for automatic demand management schemes, which could have prevented such a massive failure. Similarly, the States were found to have overdrawn power when the grid frequency was below 49.5 Hz and even 48.8 Hz, in contravention of the orders of the regulatory authority and load despatch centres.

However, the Punjab government described the charge of overdrawing as absurd, factually baseless and grossly misleading.

Such was the scale of power failure that mining operations in Eastern India came to a grinding halt. Nearly 200 miners were trapped in the Eastern Coalfield at Burdwan in West Bengal and another 65 were trapped in the Bharat Coking Coal facility in Jharkhand.

The grid collapse took place around 1 p.m. affecting Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, West Bengal, Punjab, Jammu & Kashmir, Orissa, Bihar, Rajasthan and Assam and the Union Territory of Chandigarh.

The railway network was the worst hit with trains across major parts of the country stopping midway.

This is possibly the first time that all three grids have collapsed simultaneously. Till late in the evening, around 25000 MW of the total 50,000 MW had been restored. About 13,000 MW has been restored in the Northern region and about 4,000 MW in the Eastern region. Supply to the affected regions is being extended from western and southern Grids.

By evening, the hydro stations in the northern region started working and supply has been restored up to Punjab and Haryana.

Fire on Tamil Nadu Express; 32 dead, several injured

Coach S-11 of the Chennai-bound Tamil Nadu Express caught fire early this morning, near Nellore in Andhra Pradesh; 32 people have died and 18 have been injured.

The injured have been taken to the Nellore civic hospital.

The fire has been doused and the coach has been detached from the rest of the train. No other coach was affected. But S-11 is so badly burnt that there is nothing but metal frames left inside it. Bodies are charred beyond recognition and identification will be difficult. The number of dead is an estimate - the toll could go up, say authorities.

Post-mortem on the bodies recovered will be held at the Nellore station today. A special train has left Chennai for the relatives of victims and those injured. It is expected to reach Nellore by 1 pm.

The fire started due to a short circuit near a toilet of the coach at about 4:28 am. The coach, that seats 72, was full. There were 17 people in the coach from Delhi, 11 from Bhopal, 11 from Warangal and 28 from Vijayawada.

Twenty six passengers were rescued from the coach which was completely gutted, Nellore District Collector B Sridhar said.

"The fire spread fast and the passengers could not come out through one of the doors because of the fire. So the other edge of the coach was to be used. Some people could come out and others succumbed to death," the Collector said.

Early reports said the doors of the coach were jammed and so many people could not escape as the fire spread. Some were asphyxiated, fell unconscious and were burnt to death. Among those who did was a mother who in death still clutched her little baby.

"There was a short circuit near the toilet and the train was moving at a speed of 110 km per hour. It was going to Chennai from Delhi. All the passengers were asleep when the fire broke out. People were not able to come out immediately," Mr Sridhar said.

In the morning, an alert deputy station master spotted the fire as the train passed Nellore station; it did not have a halt there. The train was stopped and passengers were evacuated immediately.

Railway Minister Mukul Roy has announced an ex-gratia payment of Rs. five lakh each to next of kin of deceased.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy has expressed shock and anguish at the fire accident. Mr Reddy has left for Nellore and is expected to reach by 1.30 pm to take stock of the situation.

Helpline numbers:

Secunderabad: 040-27786723, 27700868; Vijayawada: 0866-2345863, 2345864 and Nellore: 0861-2331477, 2576924; New Delhi: 011-23342954, 23341072, 23341074; Hazrat Nizamuddin: 011-24359748

Demand grows for Rajesh Khanna DVDs

Superstar Rajesh Khanna's death has renewed interest in his films. DVD wholesalers and retailers say since the actor's demise last week, there's noticeable rise in the sales and rentals of his films across the NCR. Movies such as Aradhana, Amar Prem, Anand and Bawarchi are most in demand.

Pradeep Kumar from Movie Mart's corporate office in Greater Kailash I, says that on an average 10-12 customers ask for Khanna's films every month. "But since last week over 50 customers have enquired about his movies," he said.

Musicland, a DVD rental store in Noida with outlets across Delhi, also maintains that more customers are asking for Rajesh Khanna films since his death due to cancer. "We are stocking up," says cashier Ganesh.

Lalit Sharma, his colleague from the Saket outlet, says as against the earlier demand of "1-2 films in 15 days", at least 5-6 customers every day have been asking about Khanna's films. Which is why the store has kept at least five pieces of his most popular films such as Aradhana, Amar Prem, Bawarchi, Anand and Khamoshi.

Shemaroo Entertainment's director, Hiren Gada, says, "We have seen renewed interest in the films and songs of Rajesh Khanna after his death. There's a 50% increase in enquiries from distributors and retailers. We are working on how to meet the demand and display of his films and songs. The idea is that his huge fan base should not be disappointed."

Dara Singh passes away

Wrestler-turned-actor Dara Singh, who was battling for life since the last five days, passed away early this morning.

84-year-old Singh was taken home from hospital by family members last night so that he could be with them in the last moments of his life.

"He passed away at 7.30 AM peacefully," Dr Ram Narain, COO, Kokilaben Hospital, told PTI.

Singh was brought to the hospital on July 7 after he had suffered a cardiac arrest and since then he was in the ICU.

A wrestling hero to some and a much loved cine artist to others, it was a long and eventful life that triumphed many odds. In his over five-decade long acting journey, he featured in over 140 films, including classics such as "Anand" and "Mera Naam Joker".

It was a many splendoured life.

There was Dara Singh the wrestler, Dara Singh, the hero of 'B' category action films such as "Tarzan Comes to Delhi" and "Samson" in the 1950s and 1960s, Dara Singh, the friendly 'pehelwan' in "Anand", and then Dara Singh who played Hanuman with great effect in the TV blockbusters "Ramayan" and "Mahabharat".

He was last seen in the Kareena Kapoor-Shahid Kapoor starrer "Jab We Met" as the stern, lovable 'Daarji' who ruled over a noisy, close-knit Sikh family. Quite like the real life man, who intimidated people with his 6' 2" frame but soon won them over with outgoing nature and warmth.

Born to Balwant Kaur and Surat Singh Randhawa Nov 19, 1928 in a village in Amritsar, Punjab, Dara Singh was encouraged to take up wrestling due to his imposing physique and trained in 'pehelwani', an Indian style of wrestling. He became a star wrestler - and not just on Indian turf.

Dara Singh took on international wrestlers like Lou Thesz and Stanislaus Zbyszko, and had over 500 professional fights to his credit - all undefeated.

He won the Professional Indian Wrestling Championship in 1953, and took away the Commonwealth Wrestling Championship trophy in 1959 by defeating Canadian champion George Godianko.

A recipient of titles like Rustam-E-Punjab (1966) and Rustam-E-Hind (1978), Dara Singh retired from active wrestling in 1983. In 1989, he published his autobiography "Meri Atmakatha" in Punjabi, and seven years later was inducted into the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame.

And while he was wrestling, he was making a name in cinema - both Hindi and Punjabi.

His first release was the 1952 "Sangdil" and then came a succession of films like "King Kong", "Faulad", "Sher-e-Watan" that earned him the name of Bollywood's action king.

During his hey day as a hero, he teamed up with Mumtaz in 16 Hindi films, including "Jawan Mard", "Raaka", "Aandhi Aur Toofan", "Daku Mangal Singh", "Boxer" and "Veer Bhimsen".

Another successful phase in Dara Singh's acting career came when he bagged the role of Hanuman in Ramanand Sagar's epochal TV series "Ramayan" in 1986. People liked him so much that B.R. Chopra roped him in to play the same role in "Mahabharat".

Dara Singh gave viewers a glimpse of his humorous side through shows like "Hadd Kar Di" and "Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka".
He became a nominated member of the Rajya Sabha from August 2003 to August 2009.

Dara Singh also took on the role of a writer, director and producer. In 1978, he launched Dara Studio, a self-contained mini-city with all facilities within the compound, in Punjab's Mohali district.

Dara Singh, who was widowed and got married for the second time, leaves behind his wife, six children - three sons and three daughters. And legions of fans of a man who defined machismo.
