Many countries like India,Pakistan and China are are highly agricultural and all this depends on the availability of fresh water through large rivers. But unfortunately we are not doing much in safeguarding these precious resources. Rivers are the major source of fresh water, if they dry out we have no place to go!

Precious Gemstone Emerald

2009-06-28T23:36:00.006+06:00

If we talk about precious gemstone than the first thing that comes in the mind of a common person is diamond but people who know much about precious gemstones would always take the name of emerald first. Precious gemstones are classified differently by many different people. But the most valuable and the superior of all are the diamonds,emeralds,rubies and sapphires.

Some times pearls are also added in the list but technically they are not gemstones by any means, however they can get as valuable as any of the stones mentioned above. But of all these stones, emerald stands unique and is surely the one that can leave all stones behind in value.

Diamonds is usually considered to be the most valuable of all stones and this fact is quite valid however at times emerald can get very precious due to its rarity. Further if emeralds are absolutely clear or are of very rich color than they can be deemed even priceless because it is very very hard to find such emeralds naturally.

Presently with the advent of synthetic gemstones the charm of naturally occurring gemstones is fast fading but still traditional people always look for the natural ones and they very much no how to buy one. But majority of the people are unaware of the difference between natural and synthetic gemstones and buy anything what they get.

Emerald naturally have many inclusions and it can be very easily told if an emerald is natural or synthetic, however one would always need and expert for the evaluation of the actual price of an emerald.

14k White Gold

2009-05-29T23:55:00.004+06:00

Gold although is not the most precious of the elements still it is considered precious and the one metal that has been known for ages as the choice for making jewelery items. Gold is the preferred choice of metal when you talk about making some jewelery. It is because it is the most ductile and malleable metals to exist. It is in fact so malleable, that translucent sheets can be drawn out of it.

Gold has also got some other unique properties like it non-corrosive nature which allows it to remains in its pure form for many years and this is why it is very easily extracted form gold mines.

White gold is an alloy of gold made by adding palladium or nickel as an impurity. Usually 18k or 14k gold is alloyed to make white gold. White gold is cheaper than pure gold due to less gold content. But working on white gold is difficult as it is very hard and brittle so making costs of white gold ornaments are usually higher.

Now a days it is more trendy to wear white gold jewelery as it is attractive to wear unlike the traditional yellow colored gold jewelery. White gold jewelery requires rhodium plating which is not quite expensive and gives the ornament a good finishing touch.

Teleportation

2009-04-30T17:40:00.004+06:00

Teleportation means that a body is transferred from one point to other in an instant without the need of any material body to carry or transport the teleported body. This is a staggering concept in the field of science. The idea of teleportation existed much earlier in the history. Most of fairy tales of magistic stories have something related to teleportation.

But this idea of teleportation in fairy tales is some what impossible as it only talks about teleportation through magic. Obviously science wasn't developed in those times and there was no such thing as technology.

The real idea of teleportation using technology gained much popularity after its introduction in science fiction literature and movies. The moist notable of these is the Star Trek series in which the idea of teleportation really started to make scientists think towards it. There are many theories that support teleportation but there are also some contradictory ones. But only time and technology will tell how successful teleportation can get.

Currently scientists have really achieved teleportation but not in a complete manner. This was only done on a photon and the teleportation technology is still waiting to expand.

The Anaconda

2009-03-21T23:24:00.005+05:00

Anaconda is the biggest snake in the world but many take it as, also the longest snake that exists in the world. The truth is that Anaconda is considered largest because of its weight and not its length. Python is one snake that can grow even more than Anacondas so they are regarded longer than Anacondas.

Typical length of this snake is up to 28-29 feet with a diameter which can be more that 12 inches. Anacondas have a variety of species which have different colours and sizes but the most popular and common among these are the 'Green Anacondas' and 'Yellow Anacondas'. Anacondas are massive creatures having massive jaws for holding and chewing its prey.

They use their enormous force to whirl around and suffocate its prey, before they can kill it. The Anacondas are a non-venomous snake specie i.e. they do not kill by poisoning their prey, instead they squeeze it to death.

Anacondas have a digestion system and they can live without a meal for months. They usually feed on small sized preys but some times they can go really wild and even take on some one of their on size.

Botox is the brand name of a toxin called Botulinum. This toxin is presently considered to be the world's deadliest poison yet it has a very popular use in medicine. It has been a center of study for many scientists since its discovery some hundred years ago and due to its deadly nature, countries actually started to make biological weapons out of it.

But as scientists started to study more about this amazing toxin, they actually discovered, one of its most amazing use and this of course is its use in wrinkle treatment. Botox injection treatment is now known as one of the most effective and widely used treatment in preventing signs of ageing.

Ageing although effect the whole human body yet the most important part that all are worried about is of course the face and people spend so much in trying to hide these ageing effects on their faces.

Wrinkle formation is the major ageing sign that appears on a face and currently the best solution to it is the Botox treatment. The Botox toxin, when injected in a diluted form works against the muscles that starts to form creases with the fading age. Its smoothens these creases to make a face look young and attractive.

The Blue Mountains

2009-01-23T17:55:00.004+05:00

Among the famous mountains that exist all around the world, Blue Mountains have their own importance, not because they provide some real adventure to the mountaineers but due to the beauty which the whole region is blessed with.

In fact Blue Mountains is not even situated in a perfectly mountainous terrain. It is a plateau region but the weathering of rocks have shaped these plateaus into more like mountains. That is one reason why the area is famous with the name 'Blue Mountains'.

Part of 'The World Heritage Site', the fascinating terrain is home to so many tourist activities and one can visit and spend a whole holiday season trying to ponder on the natural habitat and sights that this place can offer.

The city of Katoomba,Jenolan Caves,The Three Sisters,The Bush Walk,The Seven National Parks and of course the bluish atmosphere that encapsulates the whole area,all these places and activities are sure to make your vacation a memorable one.

A part from the being a top tourist spot, the whole area is also a scientific laboratory. Home to such a large eucalyptus tree population. Scientists find it a best place to experiment on eucalyptus and its related habitat. The eucalyptus population is also responsible for the bluish appearance of the region making its name 'Blue Mountains'.

The Antarctica

2009-01-09T00:35:00.004+05:00

Antarctica is one of the most fascinating places around the world. Almost every one is overwhelmed by this extreme place located some where near the bottom of the Earth. Antarctica has it's own glory, its own matchless power, its beauty which is like no other place on Earth.

Despite these facts many people don't really want to visit this place. The major reason for this is the extreme climatic condition in the region, much too extreme for a normal person to spend a holiday season out there. However, there are still a little amount of people that live here. But let me tell you that this little population is not a permanent. It means that people live here on a temporary basis. In fact no one can live here the whole year round. Scientists and researchers are the only people that arrive at this place mostly in the summer.

In winters the temperature here can go as low as -60 degree Celsius. The population therefore in winter goes extremely low. Antarctica has some really unique facts which are surely amazing.
Located at the South Pole, this place covers an area of14.4 sq.km. Out of all this vastness 98% of the area is covered with snow. Although it has a lot of ground but due to it height above sea level it can be called as the highest continent in the world.

The Lost City Of Altantis

2008-12-24T01:29:00.003+05:00

Atlantis is one of the most renowned mysteries of the world. So many times have we heard about this strange world. Scientists are continuously trying to collect evidence about this lost world but still nothing has been achieved and nothing has been found.

The question is no just about finding evidence rather the question is whether this story is actually true in the first place? We know from the famous dialogues of Plato that a world existed covered with mountains, home of the Greek god Poseidon, this land was Atlantis. This was the land full of prosperity, having so much resources that all it inhabitants could live in harmony for ever.

But according to Plato the city was inflicted with a punishment as a result of which the whole city drowned into the sea. The main reason for such a punish is described to be the corruption which started to prevail in the people of Atlantis.

Today scientists are in search for the possible location of this world. Since in Plato's description, no such thing has been mentioned therefore there is no such indication in history to give us a possible location of Atlantis.

You can read the about the possible prescribed Atlantis locations here.

The Mysterious Sightings Of Yeti

2008-12-15T01:22:00.003+05:00

Yeti no doubt has been one of the greatest scientific mysteries that has so far been unresolved. Yeti mystery emerged some time in the 19th century when a mountaineer reported mysterious man like foot prints in the Himalayas.

It so far unclear what Yeti is, whether it is a legend or some thing that exists but has not been noticed so far. It is believed that Yeti is some sort of abominable snow man that is suppose to exist in the Himalayan mountains.

Yeti is much like the American Bigfoot in appearance which means that it has a hairy body which is white in color. A mysterious feature which it is famous of is that, it has man like foot prints which are slightly larger than a normal human being and there have been many reports about these foot print sightings.

The research carried out on this subject is in sufficient. Although recently a BBC team made some research on it and what they saw and tested came out to be a Himalayan Goral. But later more reports of Yeti sightings made this research indecisive.

The malware can go as far as sending automated phising emails to other PCs using your computer. The situation only arises if some how it gets downloaded into your PC from facebook.

Basically you need to watch for emails in your facebook inbox telling something strange about you. These email come with links asking you to click on them and if clicked you get redirected to a video which doesn't play. It then asks you to download a certain codec. If this codec is downloaded the malware gets intalled in your PC and destruction starts.

Dungeons And Dragons

2008-11-29T22:19:00.000+05:00

Dragons have long been a mystery and ever since I first saw them in may be some cartoon, I started to wonder that they also existed once just like the dinosaurs. Almost every culture in this world has some stories related to some sort of dungeons and dragons. Therefore one would consider them as a part of history. There are many historians who have tried to go through this dungeons and dragons thing, but for most of them all these things are just mere stories just like the ones related to may be some other mythical creatures like; Hydra, Phoenix or may be some lost worlds. Although there has been speculations that dragons are some what related to dinosaurs but what scientists have studied about dinosaurs, there is no relation between them in reality although they both are some sort of reptiles.
Dragons have a broad classification according to there description in different cultures. Following are the main types:

Western Dragon

Is Google Adsense Scamming Me?

2008-10-24T20:57:00.000+06:00

Often you might have heard about scams related to advertising networks that do not pay what you earn. As many of us know that google is the leader in the online advertising market and provides its ads to so many websites around the world. So one might think of it as the best place to start an online business and definitely he would sign up for adsense, built a website or blog and get in the dollars rolling into his account and starts dreaming about the future .......But as we all know that there is always an another side of the picture and may be I had to see that particular worse face of google.

So How Is Google Scamming Me?

You see actually earning money online is not as quite easy as it sounds. But still I took up this difficult task and started making money through my blogs and online articles. I only concentrated on earning through adsense which pays you once you earn 100$ with them. I started all this in February and since then 8 months have passed and I was nearing my 100$ mark. This October I was lucky enough to reach the 100$ mark. I was such a happy fellow as all my hard work my sleepless nights where finally going to be paid of. In excitement I went through there payment procedures and when I did this ...................I was literally shocked.............why?................because they don't pay you as easily as one would think. Actually they ask you a PIN verification which they do by sending a PIN through surface mail and which you have to type in your account once you get it. But it is really sad that google's PIN never arrives for so many publishers and my case is even worse as they haven't even put a PIN link in my account so that I could know if I was sent a PIN or not or whether I can ask a new PIN.

There is always a PIN link there in the adsense account but for me it is not there................so what should I do..........well one would say that I should contact their support but unfortunately they don't offer much and only reply you with automated responses.

There are many people who would argue with me on google being a scam, but for many others and me it is definitely proving to be scam.

How To Generate Electricity

2008-09-07T03:43:00.000+06:00

Electricity is the rate of flow of electric charge. Electric charge can be either static or moving, in case of static charge only a stationary charge, generally electron produces an electric field around its surrounding called electric flux.

When dealing with electricity our primary consideration is the dynamic charge i.e. the moving charge. A moving charge is actually the electricity we use in our homes and basically it is the electrons that move through the household electrical wiring.

Now without going into further details lets see how electricity can be produced. For producing electricity the most common method is to run a turbine. A turbine is basically a rotatory body which runs a generator at its end the generator then by using the Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction generates electricity.

Now the biggest issue is to some how run the turbine, well one thing could be rotating it with your hand but you can only light up a small bulb with that for a minute until you are exhausted. Running the turbine some how is the biggest issue that scientist face. One method is to do it using steam or through a fuel powered motor.

Here are some methods for running the turbine:

Through Dams
Using Bio-fuel
By winds
Using Sea waves
By burning coal or some fuel to run a motor driving a turbine
By producing heat to generate steam and run the turbine using steam pressure, this thing can also be done using Nuclear fission as this nuclear reaction generates a lot of heat and thus it is a cheap source of energy.

All of the above methods described are extremely cheap source of energy except the fuel powered electricity generation method. And all these methods are in present commercial use.

Another Methods:

One another method is the use of solar energy, this energy is harnessed from the sun so it is a never ending one but there are many draw backs. The basic thing is that it does not use the conventional Faraday's law in its mechanism. Such electricity is generated using semiconductor material that produce current when light falls on them . So the deal is that you get only DC current and what you need is AC current for use so practically it need some advancements.

A brighter Future:

The future is bright for all of us as scientists are experimenting new things to generate electricity to such technologies are:

Generating electricity using body heat
The biggest source would be a fusion reaction, this is the biggest thing that scientist are working on, practically if this is possible you would be getting electricity almost for free because all you need is hydrogen to do it which is the most abundant element in the universe. But Fusion requires a lot of energy to be induced so may be one day there will be a way to make it simple and cheap.

The Best Gas Mileage Car

2008-08-27T00:43:00.000+06:00

In my previous post I reviewed the smart car as the best gas mileage car, although if we check the figures we may find smart car undoubtedly as the best gas mileage car. But despite the 39 MPG we get from the smart fortwo it is not like a conventional car we are used to. As we all know that smart car is a two seater car and has a very small space for more than two person, even you would be tight for space for your dog if the two seats are filled, so this fact makes it a bit unattractive in the eyes of conventional consumer who needs 4 seater family car in which his four person happy family could fit in. So he needs a car to suit his pocket . He doesn't have to worry about it because Toyota Prius is there to give him the value for his money with all the family comforts that he needs. Smart car , as I mentioned is a two seater car if you compare it with Toyota Prius and for no practical reason will a person buy a smart car because all it has its two seats except if he is a great fan of the not very old smart car legacy he will surely not think of buying a smarty.

So what is Toyota Prius all about? Toyota Prius started of it's sale in Japan in 1997 it was based on the hybrid model mean it is Hybrid car. So you need only half of your gasoline to run your car and the rest of the power is provided by the battery. Presently the hybrid cars are fast entering the car market with increasing fuel chargers people want a better mileage car to suit their pockets, for most of them hybrid car is the solution so Toyota Prius is the best option for them although presently Honda is also made a substantial stand in the Hybrid car industry yet the present winner is Toyota Prius. The specs below will give you a more clear picture:

Toyota Prius Specs:

The toyota Prius is 4 seater car having a engine capacity of 1.5L , a hybrid model car with a fuel mileage of 48 MPG in city and 45 MPG in highway drive. Talking about the price it costs about $21,500 . Also if you are an environment lover there is a good news for you because Prius is the third least CO2-emitting vehicle on sale in the UK market.

Smart Car The Best Gas Mileage Car

2008-08-20T22:42:00.000+06:00

Talking only about smart car and forgetting about it's gas mileage, it is one of the cutest car ever made. Small and sleek design, young cute and adorable. Since my childhood I have always loved the smart car and loved it's looks. When ever I saw that car in my olden days I just couldn't stop starring at the smart little car. I always thought in my mind that one day I will, be the one two buy this car and roll all along the road without even worrying about refilling it in a week or two and now since I am in my teenage and about to buy my own car I don't have to think about the rising petrol and diesel charges, nothing to worry about the mileage that my car will give. Because I am thinking of buying a smart car.

Yes indeed smart cars are some of the best cars in the world as far as the mileage is concerned. With mileage of about 40 MPG and weighing about 700 pounds, it is also a cheap one soting you about 12,000$. Although may look a bit expensive compared to the traditional family cars yet this smart package can be full of surprises. I always dreamed about buying this car and I bet you should be dreaming about it too because of the increasing oil prices. This car can give you the best mileage there ever can be for a nice sporty looking car. Buying it may not be a dream as it is not as expensive as the usual sporties. Smart car gas mileage can be very handy for you in the present situations. Not just handy it can be extra handy as the increasing cars are making parkings hard to find but this little smart car can fit at any parking slot. A damn easy to drive car and you don't have to worry about handling a big fat boot around corners.

So when are you buying your new smart car?

Bad for me I have shifted to another country where smart cars ar not imported....so I guess I have to figure out other plans to imrove my gas mileage.
