I read an article from abc news.
Indian authorities have filed charges against Tibetan Buddhism's third most important leader following an investigation into $1.35 million in cash discovered at his headquarters in northern India, police said Thursday.
The money was found last January during a police raid on the Karmapa's monastery. It was in a range of currencies, and the Karmapa's aides said it had been donated by his followers, who came from all over the world.
But the amount of cash, which included a large amount of Chinese yuan, concerned police, who said the sums were too large to be merely from donations.
How will they spend such a lot of money? I want to know that.
They have something to spend money, I think.

As the health and wellness industry’s first iPhone application to feature voice recognition software, the new Calorie Count App allows users to record their food entries by selecting the “Voice” option on the food-logging screen. Users can then record multiple food items and serving sizes at once within an allotted 15-second timeframe. Once recorded, the app will automatically search the Calorie Count database and provide a list of detailed nutritional information for each of the individual items spoken. All desired items can then be added to the user’s food journal.
In addition, the new Calorie Count App boasts a more efficient, time-saving food-logging platform with the introduction of tabbed navigation and a multi-add food-logging feature. The tabbed navigation allows users to easily switch between their multiple food, activity and personalized lists without ever leaving the logging screen. The multi-add also allows users to search and add several items to their food journal at one time.
“The team at Calorie Count is continuously building toward innovative and unique ways to make healthy living on-the-go easier and more efficient,” said Igor Lebovic, co-founder, CalorieCount.com. “We are providing our users with a one-of-a-kind industry voice recognition software and progressive new food-logging platform, to further help members maintain their health and wellness goals on a daily basis.”
I'm afraid of future because young children may rely on only iphone or something like that.

Believe it or not, blood type can influence someone's personality. Most of you who like surfing the Internet might have known about this information, but it is still essential for you to know about this fact.
