What is Global Warming?

2009-03-27T05:52:00.000-07:00

Global warmth begins with sunlight. When light from the Sun reaches the Earth, roughly 30 percent of it is reflected back into space by clouds, atmospheric particles, reflective ground surfaces, and even ocean surf. The remaining 70 percent of the light is absorbed by the land, air, and oceans, heating our planet’s surface and atmosphere and making life on Earth possible. Solar energy does not stay bound up in Earth’s environment forever. Instead, as the rocks, the air, and the sea warm, they emit thermal radiation, or infrared heat. Much of this thermal radiation travels directly out to space, allowing Earth to cool.
Some of this outgoing radiation, however, is re-absorbed by water vapor, carbon dioxide, and other gases in the atmosphere (called greenhouse gases because of their heat-trapping capacity) and is then re-radiated back toward the Earth’s surface. On the whole, this re-absorption process is good. If there were no greenhouse gases or clouds in the atmosphere, the Earth’s average surface temperature would be a very chilly -18°C (0°F) instead of the comfortable 15°C (59°F) that it is today.
What has scientists concerned now is that over the past 250 years humans have been artificially raising the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at an ever-increasing rate. By 2004, humans were pumping out over 8 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year. Some of it was absorbed by “sinks” like forests or the ocean, and the rest accumulated in the atmosphere. We produce millions of pounds of methane by allowing our trash to decompose in landfills and by breeding large herds of methane-belching cattle. Nitrogen-based fertilizers and other soil management practices lead to the release of nitrous oxide into the atmosphere.
Once these greenhouse gases get into the atmosphere, they stay there for decades or longer. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), since the industrial revolution began in about 1750, carbon dioxide levels have increased 35 percent and methane levels have increased 148 percent. Scientists have very high confidence that the increased concentrations of greenhouse gases have made it more difficult for thermal radiation to leave the Earth, and as a result, Earth has warmed.

FACTS OF CHILD ABUSE

2009-03-27T05:40:00.000-07:00

How could anyone abuse a defenseless child? Most of us can’t imagine what would make an adult abuse a child. The worse the behavior is, the more unimaginable it seems. Yet sadly, child abuse is much more common then you might think. Child abuse cuts across social classes and all ethnicities. And the abuse overwhelmingly is at the hands of those who are supposed to be protecting the child- the parents. Child abuse happens in many different ways, but the result is the same- serious physical or emotional harm. Physical or sexual abuse may be the most striking types of abuse, since they often unfortunately leave physical evidence behind. However, emotional abuse and neglect are serious types of child abuse that are often more subtle and difficult to spot. Child neglect is the most common type of child abuse. There are many complicated factors that lead to child abuse. Risk factors for child abuse include:

History of child abuse: Unfortunately, the patterns we learn in childhood are often what we use as parents. Without treatment and insight, sadly, the cycle of child abuse often continues.

Stress and lack of support: Parenting can be a very time intensive, difficult job. Parents caring for children without support from family, friends or the community can be under a lot of stress. Teen parents often struggle with the maturity and patience needed to be a parent. Caring for a child with a disability, special needs or difficult behaviors is also a challenge. Caregivers who are under financial or relationship stress are at risk as well.

Alcohol or drug abuse: Alcohol and drug abuse lead to serious lapses in judgment. They can interfere with impulse control making emotional and physical abuse more likely. Due to impairment caused by being intoxicated, alcohol and drug abuse frequently lead to child neglect.

Domestic violence: Witnessing domestic violence in the home, as well as the chaos and instability that is the result, is emotional abuse to a child. Frequently domestic violence will escalate to physical violence against the child as well.

All types of child abuse and neglect leave lasting scars. Some of these scars might be physical, but emotional scarring has long lasting effects throughout life, damaging a child’s sense of self and ability to have healthy relationships. One of the most painful effects of child abuse is its tendency to repeat itself. One of every three abused or neglected children will grow up to become an abusive parent. You may be reluctant to interfere in someone’s family, but you can make a huge difference in a child’s life if you do. The earlier abused children get help, the greater chance they have to heal from their abuse and not perpetuate the cycle.

LUNG CANCER DISEASE

2009-03-23T13:44:00.000-07:00

Lung cancer is a disease of uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lung. This growth may lead to metastasis, which is the invasion of adjacent tissue and infiltration beyond the lungs. The vast majority of primary lung cancers are carcinomas of the lung, derived from epithelial cells. Lung cancer, the most common cause of cancer-related death in men and the second most common in women (after breast cancer) is responsible for million deaths worldwide annually. The most common symptoms are shortness of breath, coughing (including coughing out blood), and weight loss.
The main types of lung cancer are small cell lung carcinoma and non-small cell lung carcinoma. This distinction is important, because the treatment varies; non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is sometimes treated with surgery, while small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) usually responds better to chemotherapy and radiation. The most common cause of lung cancer is long-term exposure to tobacco smoke. The occurrence of lung cancer in nonsmokers, who account for as many as 15% of cases, is often attributed to a combination of genetic factor, radon gas, asbestos and air pollution, including secondhand smoke.
Sign and symptoms sometimes seen in lung cancer:
· A cough that doesn't go away and gets worse over time
· Chest pain that doesn't go away
· Coughing up blood
· Feeling short of breath
· Wheezing
· Losing your voice (hoarseness)
· Getting sick with pneumonia and bronchitis a lot
· Swollen neck and face
· Not hungry, losing weight without trying
· Feeling tired
People with these symptoms could have lung cancer, or it could be something else. If you have these symptoms, your best bet is to see your family physician. The doctor can say for sure what's causing the symptoms and how to treat them.

AMNESIA

2009-03-17T05:20:00.001-07:00

I have read one article about amnesia and from the article that i’ve read, i can conclude that amnesia is a short term memory condition in which memory is disturbed. In simple terms it is the loss of memory. The causes of amnesia are organic or functional. Organic causes include damage to the brain, through trauma or disease, or use of certain (generally sedative) drugs. Functional causes are psychological factors, such as defense mechanisms. Hysterical post-traumatic amnesia is an example of this. Amnesia may also be spontaneous, in the case of transient global amnesia. This global type of amnesia is more common in middle-aged to elderly people, particularly males, and usually lasts less than 24 hours. Another effect of amnesia is the inability to imagine the future. Amnesiacs with damaged hippocampus cannot imagine the future. This is because when a normal human being imagines the future, they use their past experiences to construct a possible scenario. For example, a person who would try to imagine what would happen at a party that would occur in the near future would use their past experience at parties to help construct the event.

TEETH??

2009-03-17T04:12:00.000-07:00

Dear frenz..

Having straight teeth is important. Teeth that are crooked or out of place (misaligned) affect the way a person chews and talks and how their smile looks. Because they have unnatural spaces, crooked teeth are harder to clean and are more likely to have cavities.In some cases, crooked teeth can affect the way the jaws line up and can cause pain and discomfort.One method to correct this is to have Orthodontic treatment (or braces and retainers as they are sometimes called). Orthodontic treatment works by exerting a gentle pressure over time to straighten teeth that are growing, or have already grown, out of place.
Braces have three basic parts:1) Brackets - brackets that are attached to each tooth2) Bonding or band - the material that attaches the bracket to the tooth3) Arch Wire - a thin metal wire that runs from bracket to bracket
Braces have come a long way from the "train track" look of years ago. Today, many orthodontic patients can get braces that attach to the backs of the teeth, or use transparent brackets.A retainer is a custom-made, removable appliance that helps keep teeth in their new, straightened position after braces have been removed. Retainers can also be used to treat more minor orthodontic problems.

Take care of your teeth…or otherwise……huhu..

FOOD FOR BRAIN!!!!

2009-03-08T12:55:00.000-07:00

I have read this article and it is very important for me to share to all my friends and all buddies...especially for student, it is very useful for u....

The food we eat affects uor body, and that includes our brain. Good nutrition is needed for the brain to receive nourishment. Only then will the brain receive a regular healthy supply of blood and oxygen, and be in prime condition.

What is good for our brain?

WATER: Water is a main component in the human body and makes up more than two-thirds of the body. It facilitates communication within the brain and the central nervous system because it is an efficient conductor of electrical and chemical energy. Drinking an adequate amount of water each day will keep you alert and is supposed to help you improve your memory. It is best to drink water at room temperature, in small doses, throughout the day.

FISH: Fish provides us with the ingredients which help in the development of human intelligence and genius. The flesh and oils from cold-water fish are good for the brain. Avoid shellfish, however. Some cold-water fish include: salmon, tuna, mackerel, anchovy, lake trout, bluefish, and herring.

What food is not good for our brain?

SHELLFISH: may contain oceanic toxins and pollutants, and it is best to keep clear of them.

MEAT: can take quite some time to digest. Pork and beef take the longest time to digest, and turkey inherently contains a chemical which makes you feel sleepy. If you are to stay alert after a meal, with your concentration at peak level, it is best not to eat them. Take chicken instead. Meat can also contain synthetic chemicals. Wild meat and game are free from synthetic chemicals, and can be very good.

PROCESSED SUGAR: and products made from it are harmful for a person’s memory. The immune system is weakened, as the ability to resist and fight infection is greatly reduced. When you take processed sugar, insulin in the blood is churned up, the pancreas goes wild, and a sugar rush occurs. This results in "high highs" followed by a "crash" which leads to depression. Your ability to focus and your memory will suffer. Sugar in natural form is either labeled molasses or muscovado, and it can be found naturally in fruits.

COFFEE AND TEA: If you drink coffee to keep awake for an examination, you may have to think twice. Drinking several cups of coffee and tea a day will have a diuretic effect where essential minerals like potassium, magnesium and calcium are flushed out of one’s system. Caffeine, the stimulant that keeps you awake, is known to raise blood pressure, and can lead to high blood pressure, heart attack or stroke. Consistently high blood pressure can do great harm to the brain, heart and kidneys.

SOFT DRINKS: These drinks contain a lot of processed sugar, and a regular high intake can lead to hypoglycemia or Attention Deficit Disorder. The latter is an affliction that has struck numerous children who are inherently bright, but unable to maintain concentration in the classroom. Water and fresh fruit or vegetable drinks are desirable alternatives to soft drinks.

ALCOHOL: Unless taken in moderation, it ravages the brain cells and impedes the immune system. When the immune system is not allowed to function properly, a person’s ability to recall information can be adversely affected.

Mr.Right - NOT Mr.TheBest

2009-02-27T02:29:00.001-08:00

I have seen people having great expectations for their life partners and keep rejecting every proposal they get. They do not bother how much they hurt the other person for having called and rejected the person, till one day when they are rejected by everyone they propose to. Once you open yourselves to choose your life partner, you should not go window-shopping for too long. If you feel this is not the right time, don't open up yet. Also people who want the best (most beautiful, most accomplished, richest, etc.) may end up disappointed because too much of expectation will lead to greater disappointment. Young girls and boys looking forward to marry a cine star or a model must remember that appearances can be deceiving. You may think that "the best" will suit you, but there is every chance that "you" may not suit the so-called "best", which would be as incompatible as partnering with "the worst.
Remember that nobody's perfect in this world....
Try to accept the person that love you...maybe he is the right for you and the one that you looking for...be yourself to the person that you love...

do u know something about rainbow??

2009-02-27T01:33:00.000-08:00

The Colors of the Rainbow

Sir Isaac Newton in his early physics experiments decided the colors of the rainbow were Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. Many of us remember them as ROY G BIV. Are there only seven colors? Newton believed in numerology and thought special numbers governed all natural phenomena. Seven is a very special number. There are seven days in the week, seven openings in our head, seven seas, seven continents and many other important sevens. So, of course he found exactly seven colors. In reality, the rainbow colors unite gradually into one another. Our eyes sort them into groupings. How many colors are in the rainbow? Anywhere from three to, as many as, several thousand. It depends on who is counting and what they believe is there. Funny how what we expect to see is often what we see. The color order of the rainbow, starts with red at the outer edge and moves through the colors to violet. The brightness and the width of the bands and colors may vary greatly in an instant of time while you watch a rainbow and are related to the size of the drops that form the bow. The colors at the base of a rainbow are different from those at the top. Most rainbows only contain red near the ground. It is very rare that red is seen at the top of the rainbow. The width of the bow measured from red to violet will be about four times as wide as the full moon. The rainbow's colors are like people, I have never known two to be exactly alike. To really understand the colors of the rainbow study them closely when they appear and come to your own conclusions.

my zodiac - CANCER

2009-02-27T00:53:00.000-08:00

Here…I want to tell about the personality of the person that born in this zodiac..
I find out it is interesting because I was born under this zodiac..
Finally…I’ve found myself after I read this..it is true and exactly the same with my personality and characteristic..

For those who have boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend that born under this zodiac..you’ll know and understand about them…

cnacercancercancercancercancercancercancercancercancercancer

The person born under the zodiac sign of Cancer has a strong sense of family and tradition and is reverent about maintaining customs. Memories are precious to the Cancer and they love to talk about their childhood, and reminisce about past events and shared history. A Cancerian may seem tough, and try to survive by pretending to be indifferent. In fact, horoscope of someone born under the sign of Cancer reveals a soft heart. Your Cancer friends and family members think with their hearts and their decisions are often affected by their emotions. Happily, the zodiac sign of Cancer is not totally focused on the past. Cancerians are very interested in where they are going, and in planning a future that incorporates the interests and happiness of those they love. A person with the zodiac sign of Cancer might be inclined to hide their emotions so that others do not know they are hurt, angry or upset, and therefore you may find it hard to know what they are really feeling. But, beware! Lurking beneath the calm exterior you might discover a long held bitterness or grudge. Cancer will hold on to emotional trauma or hurt and might think that other people should understand what they feel without their having to explain how they feel. Problems, worries and issues may cause the Cancer to draw inward and become silent and moody. Cancerians have an instinctive understanding of how others feel and they care deeply. They are gentle and sensitive and easily hurt. They will do anything to protect their friends and family. Your Cancer partner, or friend is great at listening to your problems, and loves parenting and nurturing others. He or she is smart, prudent and diligent. A person with a Cancer horoscope will thrive as a professor or teacher, in a customer service or hospitality career, or a nurse or social worker. Cancerians love children and often choose work that will put them in contact with youngsters. If you are a Cancerian, you may choose a Virgo or Taurus as a friend, and your best romantic match will probably be with someone also born under the zodiac sign of Cancer, or with a Scorpio. Those born under the zodiac signs of Libra, Gemini or Aries may be a poor match for a Cancer, and while you might be attracted to a Sagittarian or Pisces, you are likely to have some disagreements and to face conflict. If you are born under the sign of Cancer, the Crab, you will always be loved for your nurturing, sympathetic charm. You may be challenged by emotional issues and by your inability to speak openly about your feelings, but your life will make a lasting impression on others who love you for your kindness and your good heart!

women and shoes!!

2009-02-12T10:07:00.000-08:00

Hye everyone…

What’s in your mind when we talk about women and shoes??
For guys..of course they will say that women love shoes, love shopping..rite??

Well…I also agree, emm…because I love collecting shoes and shopping also!!
But..the boys must think in other perspective, positive thinking about the girls because it’s normal thing about women and shoes..shopping!

There are many types of shoes, many design we can choose, we have such a choice, there are high heeled shoes and low heeled shoes, stiletto heeled shoes, and sling back shoes, kitten heeled shoes, the choice is endless for women.

There are court shoes, summer shoes, sensible shoes, we have walking shoes and dancing shoes and yes, probably gardening shoes. Oh, and not to forget the awesome bedroom shoes!
For men life is so simple, you go to work you wear a suit; you go to dinner you wear a suit; you have a night out you wear a suit; lunch – suit, funeral – suit, interview – suit. So choosing your shoes is easy. You can wear black shoes with a grey suit, brown suit, blue suit and black suit, but you can’t wear brown shoes with a black suit or a blue suit.

You see so simple.

Women love to shop, well that’s what all you men tell us, and shoes are sold in shops so it is only natural that women are going to love to buy shoes. Shoe shops know this and they place the prettiest, most elegant and impractical samples of shoes right where women will see them.

Women love pretty shoes because it makes us feel feminine, like a woman and properly turned out. Women cannot buy a new suit, dress or handbag without buying the shoes to match. Think about it boys, it would be like buying the new power drill without any drill bits.

And while we are at it boys, you know why women love shoes, women love shoes because men love women and women know that when they put on a pretty pair of shoes that complete her outfit YOU WILL notice her.

So boys, the next time the woman in your life buys one new outfit and four pairs of shoes to match, just remember this, women like to feel properly dressed, women like to be admired by other men, women like to drive you wild in the bedroom and women just plain love shoes!

how to be a good listener???

2009-02-12T09:06:00.001-08:00

Hello everybody..

Just want to share for those who read my blog….its about how to be a good listener..

All of us have problems and we need someone to share our problems. Same like me…
So, I have read one article about how to be a good listener.. I was attracted to read it because I think if one day someone needs me to share their problems, so I can try to be a good listener as well..

About the article that I read…there are some tips to be a good listener..and I’m sure it is very useful to us..

Actually, listen is an essential part of communication and it’s different from hearing. More advantage that we can get if we can be a good listener. Its help to solve problems, to see the world through the eyes of others. We can learn a lot from listening.

Tips to be a good listener :

Place yourself in other person shoes
- it means that you must try to look at the issues from the other person’s perspective and actively trying to see his/her point view. It is not a good idea to consider yourself to be smarter than speaker.

Stop talking/be silent
- Many people think that silent is awkward and want to fill it with their own thought. Put aside your own needs, and wait for the other person to talk at their own part.

Follow and encourage the speaker with body language
- Nodding your head will indicate your hear what the speaker is saying and will encourage them to continue. Adopting body postures, position and movements that are similar to the speaker to relax and open up more.

Do not interrupt, be patient and respect pauses.
- do not jump to speak up after the speaker has come to his/her conclusion or resolution and there is a pause. You can always come back with your solutions or suggestion next time you talk.

Ask meaningful and empowering questions.
- do not seek to probe or make the other person defensive. Rather, aim to use questions as a means by which the speaker can begin to reach his/her own conclusion about the concerns or issues being raised.

In my opinion, this article is very useful so that we can improve ourselves to be a good partner to others. I can conclude that its not easy to be a good listener but we can try to be a good listener.

tQ..hehe!! enjoy it!!

my ideal car

2009-02-12T01:38:00.000-08:00

The product that would be compared is Bugatti Car which is Royal 1930 and 2008 Veyron 16.4. Both car made of Bugatti group. Firstly, the engine of these two car. Royale 1930 engine is a straight eight engine measured 784 cubic inches and its offer a 100mph top speed. It was really a long-chassis Type 35/38 with a larger supercharged engine. About Bugatti 2008 Veyron 16.4, the engine is a mid engine supercar that produced by Volkswagen group and it is the fastest production car.

The model design of Bugatti Royale 1930 mostly was built with narrow torpedo based on sport car bodies. Bugatti is an exclusive model so only six were manufactured and each had considerable presence due to their massive and distinct body. It is large luxury car with 4.3m (169.3 in) wheelbase and 6.4 (21ft) overall length. Bugatti 2008 Veyron 16.4 model design consists of two trim levels which are based on Pur Sang model design car. As an exclusive car of course it will design exclusively such as wheels, it is design specifically 20 inches in front, 21 inches out back. Bugatti 2008 Veyron 16.4 model design bigger and long compares to Royale 1930. The shape is more exclusive in design.

Then, comparison the top speed between these two models of Bugatti car. Bugatti Royale 1930 top speed is capable only 90mph (at 4500 RPM) and it is did not have the performance potential of the car which could exceed 125mph. Top speed Bugatti Veyron 16.4 powered by a 16-cylinder “W” configured engine is fed by four turbochargers and features 64 valves, generating 1001 horse-power at 6000 rpm. Based on this top speed, this Bugatti model car can reach 408.47km/h (253.81mph) which means it faster than Bugatti Royale 1930 model.

For the doors, it was very different in how to open the door. Royale 1930 model, the door is open at the front while Veyron 16.4 is open normally like the others car. This differences shows that the old and the new car that had been produced under Bugatti’s Group.

Based on the point, can conclude that the new model Bugatti’s car is better than the Royale 1930. Even though the old car is antique but it must compared by the quality of the car and it is suitable for this era.
