Global Warming

Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth's climate.

The climate is changing. The earth is warming up, and there is now overwhelming scientific consensus that it is happening, and human-induced. With global warming on the increase and species and their habitats on the decrease, chances for ecosystems to adapt naturally are diminishing.Many are agreed that climate change may be one of the greatest threats facing the planet. Recent years show increasing temperatures in various regions, and/or increasing extremities in weather patterns.

Effects Of Globalwarming :
1. Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning power plants.
2. Carbon dioxide emissions from burning gasoline for transportation.
3. Methane emissions from animals, agriculture such as rice paddies, and from Arctic seabeds.
4. Deforestation, especially tropical forests for wood, pulp, and farmland.
5. Increase in usage of chemical fertilizers on croplands,
6. Rise in sea levels worldwide.
7. More killer storms
8. Massive crop failures.
9. Widespread extinction of species

Earth's climate is mostly influenced by the first 6 miles or so of the atmosphere which contains most of the matter making up the atmosphere. This is really a very thin layer if you think about it. In the book The End of Nature, author Bill McKibbin tells of walking three miles to from his cabin in the Adirondack's to buy food. Afterwards, he realized that on this short journey he had traveled a distance equal to that of the layer of the atmosphere where almost all the action of our climate is contained. In fact, if you were to view Earth from space, the principle part of the atmosphere would only be about as thick as the skin on an onion! Realizing this makes it more plausible to suppose that human beings can change the climate. A look at the amount of greenhouse gases we are spewing into the atmosphere , makes it even more plausible.

How you can stop  Global Warming :

1.What’s the single biggest way you can make an impact on global climate change? “Talk to your friends and family, and make sure your representatives are making good decisions,” Haq says. By voicing your concerns—via social media or, better yet, directly to your elected officials—you send a message that you care about the warming world. Encourage Congress to enact new laws that limit carbon emissions and require polluters to pay for the emissions they produce.

2. Power your home with renewable energy.

3.“Building heating and cooling are among the biggest uses of energy”stop using that live in a weatherize conditions.

4. Invest in energy-efficient appliances.

5. Actually eat the food you buy—and make less of it meat.

6.LED lightbulbs use up to 80 percent less energy than conventional incandescents.

7.. Drive a fuel-efficient vehicle.

8.“Air transport is a major source of climate pollution", so less usage of aircrafts & travel in trains

will make something positive to nature.

9. Shrink your carbon profile.

We can stop Global warming  by planting trees and less  using  of vehicles.Everyone in this world work together and eradicate this problem by giving awareness to people.

Paper Arts with Brain

The art of paper folding, which is often associated with Japanese culture. In modern usage, the word "origami" is used as an inclusive term for all folding practices, regardless of their culture of origin. The goal is to transform a flat sheet square of paper into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques. Modern origami practitioners generally discourage the use of cuts, glue, or markings on the paper.

What is DSLR (Digital Single-Lens Reflex)?

             Digital Single-Lens Reflex

DSLR is a digital camera that uses mirrors to direct light from the lens to the viewfinder, which is a hole on the back of the camera that you look through to see what you are taking a picture of.

• With an SLR camera, you see exactly what the lens sees
• You can change the lens on a digital SLR
• Digital SLRs have large image sensors that produce high-quality photos
• An SLR has a near-zero lag time, and is ideal for action photography

The light we see when we look through the viewfinder on our SLR camera and the light that hits the image sensor when we make an exposure comes through a single lens. This might seem obvious until you consider that not all cameras work this way.Some cameras have two lenses – one through which the exposure is made and another, either above or to one side, that enables you to see through and compose the photograph.Essentially, since there is only a single lens, “what you see is what you get.”

         Reflex gives us a clue as to how using the same lens to see through and also make the exposures is possible – reflection.     

         SLR camera mirror------- there is a mirror placed at a 45 degree angle directly in the path of the light through the lens. This reflects the light upwards where it enters another reflective assembly above the mirror which corrects the image (remember, it’s been reflected!) and then directs it out of the viewfinder and into your eye.

 Normal light path (red line, simplified) through a DSLR camera.

1. Think of it like a periscope in reverse – in principle it’s not really that different. But what happens when we want to make an exposure? Well, quite simply, the mirror moves out of the way when you press the shutter button and lets the light hit the sensor behind it.
2. Light path (blue line) to the sensor when the shutter button is pressed. Imagine that the mirror is moved up and out of the way.

When SLR cameras first appeared one of the main advantages was that they were significantly less bulky than some of their twin-lens alternatives. Today, with the advent of small mirror-less cameras, this is no longer true and SLR cameras are among the largest a typical consumer would consider buying.

They are, however, still a popular choice and indeed the preferred choice among professionals. There are numerous reasons for this – but the main reason specifically related to the SLR design is that when you look through the viewfinder, what you see is very close to what you get in the exposure. This is a very important advantage for working photographers and for those who simply do not wish to deal with any potential margin for error.

MEDITATION

The rest in meditation is deeper than the deepest sleep that you can ever have. When the mind becomes free from agitation, is calm and serene and at peace, meditation happens.

Meditation is seen by a number of researchers as potentially one of the most effective forms of stress reduction.while stress reduction techniques will use to control the mind.

Meditation helps to reduce so many growing emphasis:

1. Quality of life outcomes.
2. Concepts such as psychonueroimmunilogy & Mind-Bodymedicine.
3. Reduce healthcare costs.
4. Suggest the stress reduction and improving  mental health are become increasingly relevant to healthcare.

In today's world where stress catches on faster than the eye can see or the mind can perceive, meditation is no more a luxury. It is a necessity. To be unconditionally happy and to have peace of mind, we need to tap into the power of meditation.

10 places to See Before You Die.

10 places you See Before You Die.


1.Venice( ITALY)

If there were a more romantic place on earth than the canals of Venice, surely we’d see that destination replicated in every casino the world over. But since there are arguably more faux canals and Roman statues in global casinos than anything else, it’s safe to say that the real Venice is the romantic winner. And why wouldn’t it be? Who doesn’t want to transport themselves into a gondola for a lazy ride around the “floating city” past its famed Gothic and Byzantine palazzos, bohemian shops and alluring cafes? This city is an engineering marvel, a marble masterpiece, and a sight that won’t be around forever.

2.TAJ MAHAL(INDIA)

If ever there was a more beautiful monument to love than India’s Taj Mahal, it has long since faded to dust. Mughal emperor Shah Jahan commissioned this immense marble-white mausoleum in memory of his beloved third wife, Mumtaz Mahal, in 1632. The resulting structure, designed by Afghan Ustad-Ahmad Lahori, has been called the jewel of Muslim art in India, an architectural masterpiece and one of the most romantic buildings in the world.

3.FRANCE(paris)

When Gustave Eiffel announced that he would build the tallest tower in the world for the 1889 World’s Fair, he expected a euphoric response. What he got instead was skepticism, virulent criticism and even protests “on artistic grounds.”  History, however, would prove his critics to be a pack of fools. The Eiffel Tower is now not only the world’s most-visited paid monument, but also its most valuable at $561.9 billion, according to a 2012 report, making it a crucial cog in the French economy and one of the most beloved sites in Europe.

4.Athens(Greece)

Athens is a city reformed thanks to fortunes brought by the 2004 Summer Olympics. Spotless parks and streets, an ultra-modern metro, new motorways, an accessible airport and all signs in perfect English make the city easily negotiable. Meriting more than a stopover en route to the islands, sophisticated Athens sites include many pillars of Western history, from the Acropolis to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, as well as treasures in the National Archaeological Museum.

The heritage of the classical era is still evident in the city, represented by ancient monuments and works of art, the most famous of all being the Parthenon, considered a key landmark of early Western civilization. The city also retains Roman and Byzantine monuments, as well as a smaller number of Ottoman monuments.

5.Machu Picchu(peru)

Machu Picchu is so well-known and so certain to fill travellers with high expectations that you might think it's doomed to disappoint. No other South American archaeological site comes close when it comes to visitor numbers and broad appeal (coach tourists mingle with backpackers and hardcore hikers at the ruin every day of the year). Only Sacsayhuamán in Cuzco - which is usually part of a Machu Picchu itinerary - is comparable for sheer scale and architectural audacity. "But with a bit of careful planning and the right approach, you will find the site as enchanting and engaging as any on the planet."

6.GERMANY

World-famous Museumsinsel, or Museum Island, lies between the River Spree and the Kupfergraben - a 400-meter-long canal off the river - and includes many of Berlin's oldest and most important museums. The heart of this pedestrian-friendly district is the Old Museum, constructed in 1830 as a place to exhibit the royal treasures. Soon after, the land behind the museum was set aside for art and the "knowledge of antiquity."





The Rhine is Europe's most important waterway, and its most beautiful. With a total length of 1,320 kilometers, this magnificent river stretches from Switzerland through Germany all the way to the Netherlands.








7.Switzerland

Tired of the hustle and bustle of urban living? Tired of hour-long commutes into work? Want to just get away from it all? Wengen, Switzerland is the place for you.

Firstly, cars of any kind have been banned for more than 100 years. The town is tucked away between alpine mountains and lush, grassy hills in every direction, while the air is crisp and clean, un-polluted by the diesel and muck of a city. Perched in the heart of the Alps, the popular tourist spot also has some of the world’s finest ski slopes.

8.EGYPT

Prepare to be truly struck by awe if you make the trip to Cairo, Egypt. As the 18th largest city in the world, Cairo is both a standing artifact of a past world, while still embracing a modern aura. Cairo’s main attraction is – of course – the Great Pyramids of Giza and Sphinx, the lone survivor of the original Seven Wonders of the World. Book a hotel on the bed of the Nile River – the same place where the earliest civilizations first settled. Also, travelers are welcome to take a tour of Cairo’s surroundings by way of camel; the same means of travel used thousands of years ago.

While Cairo is a must-see location, you may want to wait a while before booking that flight. The U.S. State Department has issued a travel alert for several regions in Egypt due to high conflict in the area.



9.Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

Quite possibly the most beautiful metropolis in the world, Rio De Janeiro intertwines the beauty of the natural world with the tempo of an urban metropolis, housing more than 6.3 million people. Here, you take in one of South America’s finest beauties on the crest of Guanabara Bay and the South Atlantic Ocean, while still embracing the festive and vibrant nightlife of Brazil’s second-largest city. If you plan on visiting this beautiful location, make sure to time your stay with Rio’s annual Carnival, the world famous festival that drapes the city with lights, music, dancing and joy. Also, don’t miss the “Christ the Redeemer” statue perched 700 meters atop Corcovado Mountain looking out over the city. If you’re planning a trip to Rio in June this year, you’ll also want to check out a soccer match in one of the 2014 World Cup’s host cities.


10.NORTHERN TERRITORY, AUSTRALIA

A World Heritage Site, Uluru is an awe-inspiring sandstone rock formation rising out of the desolate outback of Australia's Northern Territory. The name derives from the aboriginal tribes that settled in the area 10,000 years ago. The landmark is also known as Ayers Rock, named in honor of Sir Henry Ayers, who served as Chief Secretary of South Australia in the late 19th century. Jutting nearly 1,150 feet in the air, the natural monolith is taller than the Eiffel Tower, and stands in stark contrast to the miles of flat desert that surround it. Visitors can climb to the top of Uluru (the hike takes anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours) and explore the base, which is about six miles around. The view atop the rock is remarkable during sunrise and sunset.
