GLOBAL WARMING

2011-01-10T02:26:00.000-08:00

TODAY THE MOST TALKED ABOUT TOPIC IS GLOBAL WARMING..ITS A HOT ISSUE AND IMPORTANT TO BE CONSIDERED TO THIS WHOLE WORLD..EVERY SINGLE MAN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT..SO EVERY ONE WITH ITS SMALL EFFORT IN THE DAILY LIFE CAN REDUCE IT..

Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. According to the 2007 Fourth Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), global surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the 20th century. Most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the 20th century has been caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases, which result from human activity such as the burning of fossil fuel and deforestation. Global dimming, a result of increasing concentrations of atmospheric aerosols that block sunlight from reaching the surface, has partially countered the effects of warming induced by greenhouse gases.

Climate model projections summarized in the latest IPCC report indicate that the global surface temperature is likely to rise a further 1.1 to 6.4 °C (2.0 to 11.5 °F) during the 21st century. The uncertainty in this estimate arises from the use of models with differing sensitivity to greenhouse gas concentrations and the use of differing estimates of future greenhouse gas emissions. An increase in global temperature will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount and pattern of precipitation, probably including expansion of subtropical deserts. Warming is expected to be strongest in the Arctic and would be associated with continuing retreat of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice. Other likely effects include changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, species extinctions, and changes in agricultural yields. Warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe, though the nature of these regional variations is uncertain. As a result of contemporary increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide, the oceans have become more acidic, a result that is predicted to continue.

The scientific consensus is that anthropogenic global warming is occurring. Nevertheless, political and public debate continues. The Kyoto Protocol is aimed at stabilizing greenhouse gas concentration to prevent a "dangerous anthropogenic interference". As of November 2009, 187 states had signed and ratified the protocol.

Temperature changes

Evidence for warming of the climate system includes observed increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level. The most common measure of global warming is the trend in globally averaged temperature near the Earth's surface. Expressed as a linear trend, this temperature rose by 0.74 ± 0.18 °C over the period 1906–2005. The rate of warming over the last half of that period was almost double that for the period as a whole (0.13 ± 0.03 °C per decade, versus 0.07 °C ± 0.02 °C per decade). The urban heat island effect is estimated to account for about 0.002 °C of warming per decade since 1900.[18] Temperatures in the lower troposphere have increased between 0.13 and 0.22 °C (0.22 and 0.4 °F) per decade since 1979, according to satellite temperature measurements. Temperature is believed to have been relatively stable over the one or two thousand years before 1850, with regionally varying fluctuations such as the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age.

Estimates by NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) and the National Climatic Data Center show that 2005 was the warmest year since reliable, widespread instrumental measurements became available in the late 19th century, exceeding the previous record set in 1998 by a few hundredths of a degree. Estimates prepared by the World Meteorological Organization and the Climatic Research Unit show 2005 as the second warmest year, behind 1998. Temperatures in 1998 were unusually warm because the strongest El Niño in the past century occurred during that year.[24] Global temperature is subject to short-term fluctuations that overlay long term trends and can temporarily mask them. The relative stability in temperature from 2002 to 2009 is consistent with such an episode.

Temperature changes vary over the globe. Since 1979, land temperatures have increased about twice as fast as ocean temperatures (0.25 °C per decade against 0.13 °C per decade). Ocean temperatures increase more slowly than land temperatures because of the larger effective heat capacity of the oceans and because the ocean loses more heat by evaporation. The Northern Hemisphere warms faster than the Southern Hemisphere because it has more land and because it has extensive areas of seasonal snow and sea-ice cover subject to ice-albedo feedback. Although more greenhouse gases are emitted in the Northern than Southern Hemisphere this does not contribute to the difference in warming because the major greenhouse gases persist long enough to mix between hemispheres.

The thermal inertia of the oceans and slow responses of other indirect effects mean that climate can take centuries or longer to adjust to changes in forcing. Climate commitment studies indicate that even if greenhouse gases were stabilized at 2000 levels, a further warming of about 0.5 °C (0.9 °F) would still occur.

External forcings

External forcing refers to processes external to the climate system (though not necessarily external to Earth) that influence climate. Climate responds to several types of external forcing, such as radiative forcing due to changes in atmospheric composition (mainly greenhouse gas concentrations), changes in solar luminosity, volcanic eruptions, and variations in Earth's orbit around the Sun.Attribution of recent climate change focuses on the first three types of forcing. Orbital cycles vary slowly over tens of thousands of years and thus are too gradual to have caused the temperature changes observed in the past century.

Green house Gases

The greenhouse effect is the process by which absorption and emission of infrared radiation by gases in the atmosphere warm a planet's lower atmosphere and surface. It was proposed by Joseph Fourier in 1824 and was first investigated quantitatively by Svante Arrhenius in 1896.

Naturally occurring greenhouse gases have a mean warming effect of about 33 °C (59 °F). The major greenhouse gases are water vapor, which causes about 36–70 percent of the greenhouse effect; carbon dioxide (CO2), which causes 9–26 percent; methane (CH4), which causes 4–9 percent; and ozone (O3), which causes 3–7 percent. Clouds also affect the radiation balance, but they are composed of liquid water or ice and so have different effects on radiation from water vapor.

Human activity since the Industrial Revolution has increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to increased radiative forcing from CO2, methane, tropospheric ozone, CFCs and nitrous oxide. The concentrations of CO2 and methane have increased by 36% and 148% respectively since 1750. These levels are much higher than at any time during the last 650,000 years, the period for which reliable data has been extracted from ice cores. Less direct geological evidence indicates that CO2 values higher than this were last seen about 20 million years ago. Fossil fuel burning has produced about three-quarters of the increase in CO2 from human activity over the past 20 years. Most of the rest is due to land-use change, particularly deforestation.

Over the last three decades of the 20th century, GDP per capita and population growth were the main drivers of increases in greenhouse gas emissions. CO2 emissions are continuing to rise due to the burning of fossil fuels and land-use change.71 Emissions scenarios, estimates of changes in future emission levels of greenhouse gases, have been projected that depend upon uncertain economic, sociological, technological, and natural developments.In most scenarios, emissions continue to rise over the century, while in a few, emissions are reduced.These emission scenarios, combined with carbon cycle modelling, have been used to produce estimates of how atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases will change in the future. Using the six IPCC SRES "marker" scenarios, models suggest that by the year 2100, the atmospheric concentration of CO2 could range between 541 and 970 ppm. This is an increase of 90-250% above the concentration in the year 1750. Fossil fuel reserves are sufficient to reach these levels and continue emissions past 2100 if coal, tar sands or methane clathrates are extensively exploited.

The destruction of stratospheric ozone by chlorofluorocarbons is sometimes mentioned in relation to global warming. Although there are a few areas of linkage, the relationship between the two is not strong. Reduction of stratospheric ozone has a cooling influence. Substantial ozone depletion did not occur until the late 1970s. Ozone in the troposphere (the lowest part of the Earth's atmosphere) does contribute to surface warming.

Aerosols and soot

Global dimming, a gradual reduction in the amount of global direct irradiance at the Earth's surface, has partially counteracted global warming from 1960 to the present. The main cause of this dimming is aerosols produced by volcanoes and pollutants. These aerosols exert a cooling effect by increasing the reflection of incoming sunlight. The effects of the products of fossil fuel combustion—CO2 and aerosols—have largely offset one another in recent decades, so that net warming has been due to the increase in non-CO2 greenhouse gases such as methane. Radiative forcing due to aerosols is temporally limited due to wet deposition which causes aerosols to have an atmospheric lifetime of one week. Carbon dioxide has a lifetime of a century or more, and as such, changes in aerosol concentrations will only delay climate changes due to carbon dioxide.

In addition to their direct effect by scattering and absorbing solar radiation, aerosols have indirect effects on the radiation budget. Sulfate aerosols act as cloud condensation nuclei and thus lead to clouds that have more and smaller cloud droplets. These clouds reflect solar radiation more efficiently than clouds with fewer and larger droplets.This effect also causes droplets to be of more uniform size, which reduces growth of raindrops and makes the cloud more reflective to incoming sunlight.Indirect effects are most noticeable in marine stratiform clouds, and have very little radiative effect on convective clouds. Aerosols, particularly their indirect effects, represent the largest uncertainty in radiative forcing.

Soot may cool or warm the surface, depending on whether it is airborne or deposited. Atmospheric soot aerosols directly absorb solar radiation, which heats the atmosphere and cools the surface. In isolated areas with high soot production, such as rural India, as much as 50% of surface warming due to greenhouse gases may be masked by atmospheric brown clouds. Atmospheric soot always contributes additional warming to the climate system. When deposited, especially on glaciers or on ice in arctic regions, the lower surface albedo can also directly heat the surface. The influences of aerosols, including black carbon, are most pronounced in the tropics and sub-tropics, particularly in Asia, while the effects of greenhouse gases are dominant in the extratropics and southern hemisphere.

Solar variation

Variations in solar output have been the cause of past climate changes. The effect of changes in solar forcing in recent decades is uncertain, but small, with some studies showing a slight cooling effect, while others studies suggest a slight warming effect.

Greenhouse gases and solar forcing affect temperatures in different ways. While both increased solar activity and increased greenhouse gases are expected to warm the troposphere, an increase in solar activity should warm the stratosphere while an increase in greenhouse gases should cool the stratosphere. Observations show that temperatures in the stratosphere have been cooling since 1979, when satellite measurements became available. Radiosonde (weather balloon) data from the pre-satellite era show cooling since 1958, though there is greater uncertainty in the early radiosonde record.

A related hypothesis, proposed by Henrik Svensmark, is that magnetic activity of the sun deflects cosmic rays that may influence the generation of cloud condensation nuclei and thereby affect the climate.Other research has found no relation between warming in recent decades and cosmic rays. The influence of cosmic rays on cloud cover is about a factor of 100 lower than needed to explain the observed changes in clouds or to be a significant contributor to present-day climate change.

Feedback

Feedback is a process in which changing one quantity changes a second quantity, and the change in the second quantity in turn changes the first. Positive feedback amplifies the change in the first quantity while negative feedback reduces it. Feedback is important in the study of global warming because it may amplify or diminish the effect of a particular process. The main positive feedback in global warming is the tendency of warming to increase the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere, a significant greenhouse gas. The main negative feedback is radiative cooling, which increases as the fourth power of temperature; the amount of heat radiated from the Earth into space increases with the temperature of Earth's surface and atmosphere. Imperfect understanding of feedbacks is a major cause of uncertainty and concern about global warming.

Climate models

The main tools for projecting future climate changes are mathematical models based on physical principles including fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and radiative transfer. Although they attempt to include as many processes as possible, simplifications of the actual climate system are inevitable because of the constraints of available computer power and limitations in knowledge of the climate system. All modern climate models are in fact combinations of models for different parts of the Earth. These include an atmospheric model for air movement, temperature, clouds, and other atmospheric properties; an ocean model that predicts temperature, salt content, and circulation of ocean waters; models for ice cover on land and sea; and a model of heat and moisture transfer from soil and vegetation to the atmosphere. Some models also include treatments of chemical and biological processes. Warming due to increasing levels of greenhouse gases is not an assumption of the models; rather, it is an end result from the interaction of greenhouse gases with radiative transfer and other physical processes. Although much of the variation in model outcomes depends on the greenhouse gas emissions used as inputs, the temperature effect of a specific greenhouse gas concentration (climate sensitivity) varies depending on the model used. The representation of clouds is one of the main sources of uncertainty in present-generation models.

Global climate model projections of future climate most often have used estimates of greenhouse gas emissions from the IPCC Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES). In addition to human-caused emissions, some models also include a simulation of the carbon cycle; this generally shows a positive feedback, though this response is uncertain. Some observational studies also show a positive feedback. Including uncertainties in future greenhouse gas concentrations and climate sensitivity, the IPCC anticipates a warming of 1.1 °C to 6.4 °C (2.0 °F to 11.5 °F) by the end of the 21st century, relative to 1980–1999.

Models are also used to help investigate the causes of recent climate change by comparing the observed changes to those that the models project from various natural and human-derived causes. Although these models do not unambiguously attribute the warming that occurred from approximately 1910 to 1945 to either natural variation or human effects, they do indicate that the warming since 1970 is dominated by man-made greenhouse gas emissions.

The physical realism of models is tested by examining their ability to simulate current or past climates. Current climate models produce a good match to observations of global temperature changes over the last century, but do not simulate all aspects of climate. Not all effects of global warming are accurately predicted by the climate models used by the IPCC. Observed Arctic shrinkage has been faster than that predicted. Precipitation increased proportional to atmospheric humidity, and hence significantly faster than current global climate models predict.

Attributed and expected effects

Global warming may be detected in natural, ecological or social systems as a change having statistical significance. Attribution of these changes e.g., to natural or human activities, is the next step following detection.
Natural systems

Global warming has been detected in a number of systems. Some of these changes, e.g., based on the instrumental temperature record, have been described in the section on temperature changes. Rising sea levels and observed decreases in snow and ice extent are consistent with warming. Most of the increase in global average temperature since the mid-20th century is, with high probability,atttributable to human-induced changes in greenhouse gas concentrations.

Even with current policies to reduce emissions, global emissions are still expected to continue to grow over the coming decades. Over the course of the 21st century, increases in emissions at or above their current rate would very likely induce changes in the climate system larger than those observed in the 20th century.

In the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, across a range of future emission scenarios, model-based estimates of sea level rise for the end of the 21st century (the year 2090-2099, relative to 1980-1999) range from 0.18 to 0.59 m. These estimates, however, were not given a likelihood due to a lack of scientific understanding, nor was an upper bound given for sea level rise. Over the course of centuries to millennia, the melting of ice sheets could result in sea level rise of 4–6 m or more.

Changes in regional climate are expected to include greater warming over land, with most warming at high northern latitudes, and least warming over the Southern Ocean and parts of the North Atlantic Ocean. Snow cover area and sea ice extent are expected to decrease. The frequency of hot extremes, heat waves, and heavy precipitation will very likely increase.

Ecological systems

In terrestrial ecosystems, the earlier timing of spring events, and poleward and upward shifts in plant and animal ranges, have been linked with high confidence to recent warming.Future climate change is expected to particularly affect certain ecosystems, including tundra, mangroves, and coral reefs. It is expected that most ecosystems will be affected by higher atmospheric CO2 levels, combined with higher global temperatures. Overall, it is expected that climate change will result in the extinction of many species and reduced diversity of ecosystems.

Social systems

There is some evidence of regional climate change affecting systems related to human activities, including agricultural and forestry management activities at higher latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere.Future climate change is expected to particularly affect some sectors and systems related to human activities. Low-lying coastal systems are vulnerable to sea level rise and storm surge. Human health will be at increased risk in populations with limited capacity to adapt to climate change. It is expected that some regions will be particularly affected by climate change, including the Arctic, Africa, small islands, and Asian and African megadeltas. In some areas the effects on agriculture, industry and health could be mixed, or even beneficial in certain respects, but overall it is expected that these benefits will be outweighed by negative effects.

Responses to global warming

Mitigation

Reducing the amount of future climate change is called mitigation of climate change. The IPCC defines mitigation as activities that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, or enhance the capacity of carbon sinks to absorb GHGs from the atmosphere. Many countries, both developing and developed, are aiming to use cleaner, less polluting, technologies.:192 Use of these technologies aids mitigation and could result in substantial reductions in CO2 emissions. Policies include targets for emissions reductions, increased use of renewable energy, and increased energy efficiency. Studies indicate substantial potential for future reductions in emissions. Since even in the most optimistic scenario, fossil fuels are going to be used for years to come, mitigation may also involve carbon capture and storage, a process that traps CO2 produced by factories and gas or coal power stations and then stores it, usually underground.

Adaptation

Other policy responses include adaptation to climate change. Adaptation to climate change may be planned, e.g., by local or national government, or spontaneous, i.e., done privately without government intervention. The ability to adapt is closely linked to social and economic development.Even societies with high capacities to adapt are still vulnerable to climate change. Planned adaptation is already occurring on a limited basis. The barriers, limits, and costs of future adaptation are not fully understood.

Another policy response is engineering of the climate (geoengineering). This policy response is sometimes grouped together with mitigation.Geoengineering is largely unproven, and reliable cost estimates for it have not yet been published.

UNFCCC

Most countries are Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).The ultimate objective of the Convention is to prevent "dangerous" human interference of the climate system. As is stated in the Convention, this requires that GHGs are stabilized in the atmosphere at a level where ecosystems can adapt naturally to climate change, food production is not threatened, and economic development can proceed in a sustainable fashion.

The UNFCCC recognizes differences among countries in their responsibility to act on climate change. In the Kyoto Protocol to the UNFCCC, most developed countries (listed in Annex I of the treaty) took on legally binding commitments to reduce their emissions. Policy measures taken in response to these commitments have reduced emissions. For many developing (non-Annex I) countries, reducing poverty is their overriding aim.

At the 15th UNFCCC Conference of the Parties, held in 2009 at Copenhagen, several UNFCCC Parties produced the Copenhagen Accord.[104] Parties agreeing with the Accord aim to limit the future increase in global mean temperature to below 2 °C.

Views on global warming

There are different views over what the appropriate policy response to climate change should be. These competing views weigh the benefits of limiting emissions of greenhouse gases against the costs. In general, it seems likely that climate change will impose greater damages and risks in poorer regions.

Politics

Developed and developing countries have made different arguments over who should bear the burden of economic costs for cutting emissions. Developing countries often concentrate on per capita emissions, that is, the total emissions of a country divided by its population. Per capita emissions in the industrialized countries are typically as much as ten times the average in developing countries. This is used to make the argument that the real problem of climate change is due to the profligate and unsustainable lifestyles of those living in rich countries.

On the other hand, commentators from developed countries point out that total carbon emissions, carrying capacity, efficient energy use and civil and political rights are very important issues. World population is the number of humans per unit area. However the land is not the same everywhere. Not only the quantity of fossil fuel use but also the quality of energy use is a key debate point. For example, efficient energy use supporting technological change might help reduce excess carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere. The use of fossil fuels for conspicuous consumption and excessive entertainment are issues that can conflict with civil and political rights. People in developed countries argue that history has proven the difficulty of implementing fair rationing programs in different countries because there is no global system of checks and balances or civil liberties.

The Kyoto Protocol, which came into force in 2005, sets legally binding emission limitations for most developed countries. Developing countries are not subject to limitations. This exemption led the U.S. and Australia to decide not to ratify the treaty,although Australia did finally ratify the treaty in December 2007. Debate continued at the Copenhagen climate summit and the Cancún climate summit.

Public opinion

In 2007–2008 Gallup Polls surveyed 127 countries. Over a third of the world's population was unaware of global warming, with people in developing countries less aware than those in developed, and those in Africa the least aware. Of those aware, Latin America leads in belief that temperature changes are a result of human activities while Africa, parts of Asia and the Middle East, and a few countries from the Former Soviet Union lead in the opposite belief In the Western world, opinions over the concept and the appropriate responses are divided. Nick Pidgeon of Cardiff University said that "results show the different stages of engagement about global warming on each side of the Atlantic", adding, "The debate in Europe is about what action needs to be taken, while many in the U.S. still debate whether climate change is happening."

Other views

Most scientists accept that humans are contributing to observed climate change.National science academies have called on world leaders for policies to cut global emissions. However, some scientists and non-scientists question aspects of climate-change science.

Organizations such as the libertarian Competitive Enterprise Institute, conservative commentators, and some companies such as ExxonMobil have challenged IPCC climate change scenarios, funded scientists who disagree with the scientific consensus, and provided their own projections of the economic cost of stricter controls.In the finance industry, Deutsche Bank has set up an institutional climate change investment division (DBCCA), which has commissioned and published research on the issues and debate surrounding global warming. Environmental organizations and public figures have emphasized changes in the current climate and the risks they entail, while promoting adaptation to changes in infrastructural needs and emissions reductions. Some fossil fuel companies have scaled back their efforts in recent years,or called for policies to reduce global warming.

Etymology

The term global warming was probably first used in its modern sense on 8 August 1975 in a science paper by Wally Broecker in the journal Science called "Are we on the brink of a pronounced global warming?". Broecker's choice of words was new and represented a significant recognition that the climate was warming; previously the phrasing used by scientists was "inadvertent climate modification," because while it was recognized humans could change the climate, no one was sure which direction it was going. The National Academy of Sciences first used global warming in a 1979 paper called the Charney Report, it said: "if carbon dioxide continues to increase, [we find] no reason to doubt that climate changes will result and no reason to believe that these changes will be negligible." The report made a distinction between referring to surface temperature changes as global warming, while referring to other changes caused by increased CO2 as climate change. This distinction is still often used in science reports, with global warming meaning surface temperatures, and climate change meaning other changes (increased storms, etc..)

Global warming became more widely popular after 1988 when NASA scientist James E. Hansen used the term in a testimony to Congress. He said: "global warming has reached a level such that we can ascribe with a high degree of confidence a cause and effect relationship between the greenhouse effect and the observed warming." His testimony was widely reported and afterward global warming was commonly used by the press and in public discourse.

MORDERN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY STUDIES

2010-12-22T20:37:00.000-08:00

Science and technology studies (STS) is the study of how social, political, and cultural values affect scientific research and technological innovation, and how these in turn affect society, politics, and culture. STS scholars are interested in a variety of problems including the relationships between scientific and technological innovations and society, and the directions and risks of science and technology. More than two dozen universities worldwide offer baccalaureate degrees in STS; about half of these also offer doctoral or master's programs.

History

STS is a new and expanding subject; for example, in 2005, four major United States universities announced new STS programs. Like most interdisciplinary programs, it emerged from the confluence of a variety of disciplines and disciplinary subfields, all of which had developed an interest—typically, during the 1960s or 1970s—in viewing science and technology as socially embedded enterprises.

Early developments

The key disciplinary components of STS took shape independently, beginning in the 1960s, and developed in isolation from each other well into the 1980s, although Ludwig Fleck's monograph (1935) Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact anticipated many of STS's key themes:

Science studies, a branch of the sociology of scientific knowledge that places scientific controversies in their social context.
History of technology, that examines technology in its social and historical context. Starting in the 1960s, some historians questioned technological determinism, a doctrine that can induce public passivity to technologic and scientific 'natural' development. At the same time, some historians began to develop similarly contextual approaches to the history of medicine.
History and philosophy of science (1960s). After the publication of Thomas Kuhn's well-known The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962), which attributed changes in scientific theories to changes in underlying intellectual paradigms, programs were founded at the University of California, Berkeley and elsewhere that brought historians of science and philosophers together in unified programs.
Science, technology, and society In the mid- to late-1960s, student and faculty social movements in the U.S., UK, and European universities helped to launch a range of new interdisciplinary fields (such as Women's Studies) that were seen to address relevant topics that the traditional curriculum ignored. One such development was the rise of "science, technology, and society" programs, which are also—confusingly—known by the STS acronym. Drawn from a variety of disciplines, including anthropology, history, political science, and sociology, scholars in these programs created undergraduate curricula devoted to exploring the issues raised by science and technology. Unlike scholars in science studies, history of technology, or the history and philosophy of science, they were and are more likely to see themselves as activists working for change rather than dispassionate, "ivory tower" researchers. As an example of the activist impulse, feminist scholars in this and other emerging STS areas addressed themselves to the exclusion of women from science and engineering.
Science, engineering, and public policy studies emerged in the 1970s from the same concerns that motivated the founders of the science, technology, and society movement: A sense that science and technology were developing in ways that were increasingly at odds with the public's best interests. The science, technology, and society movement tried to humanize those who would make tomorrow's science and technology, but this discipline took a different approach: It would train students with the professional skills needed to become players in science and technology policy. Some programs came to emphasize quantitative methodologies, and most of these were eventually absorbed into systems engineering. Others emphasized sociological and qualitative approaches, and found that their closest kin could be found among scholars in science, technology, and society departments.

During the 1970s and 1980s, leading universities in the U.S., UK, and Europe began drawing these various components together in new, interdisciplinary programs. For example, in the 1970s, Cornell University developed a new program that united science studies and policy-oriented scholars with historians and philosophers of science and technology. Each of these programs developed unique identities due to variation in the components that were drawn together, as well as their location within the various universities. For example, the University of Virginia's STS program united scholars drawn from a variety of fields (with particular strength in the history of technology); however, the program's teaching responsibilities—it is located within an engineering school and teaches ethics to undergraduate engineering students—means that all of its faculty share a strong interest in engineering ethics.

The "turn to technology"

A decisive moment in the development of STS was the mid-1980s addition of technology studies to the range of interests reflected in science studies programs. During that decade, two works appeared en seriatim that signaled what Steve Woolgar was to call the "turn to technology": Social Shaping of Technology (MacKenzie and Wajcman, 1985) and The Social Construction of Technological Systems (Bijker, Hughes et al., 1987). MacKenzie and Wajcman primed the pump by publishing a collection of articles attesting to the influence of society on technological design. In a seminal article, Trevor Pinch and Wiebe Bijker attached all the legitimacy of the Sociology of Scientific Knowledge to this development by showing how the sociology of technology could proceed along precisely the theoretical and methodological lines established by the sociology of scientific knowledge. This was the intellectual foundation of the field they called the social construction of technology.
The "turn to technology" helped to cement an already growing awareness of underlying unity among the various emerging STS programs. More recently, there has been an associated turn to materiality, whereby the socio-technical and material co-produce each other. This is especially evident in work in STS analyses of biomedicine (such as Carl May, Nelly Oudshoorn, and Andrew Webster).

Professional associations

The subject has several professional associations.
Founded in 1975, the Society for Social Studies of Science, initially provided scholarly communication facilities—including a journal (Science, Technology, and Human Values) and annual meetings—that were mainly attended by science studies scholars, but the society has since grown into the most important professional association of science and technology studies scholars worldwide. The Society for Social Studies of Science members also include government and industry officials concerned with research and development as well as science and technology policy; scientists and engineers who wish to better understand the social embeddedness of their professional practice; and citizens concerned about the impact of science and technology in their lives. Proposals have been made to add the word "technology" to the association's name, thereby reflecting its stature as the leading STS professional society, but there seems to be widespread sentiment that the name is long enough as it is.
In Europe, the European Association for the Study of Science and Technology (EASST) was founded in 1981 to stimulate communication, exchange and collaboration in the field of studies of science and technology.
Founded in 1958, the Society for the History of Technology initially attracted members from the history profession who had interests in the contextual history of technology. After the "turn to technology" in the mid-1980s, the society's well-regarded journal (Technology and Culture) and its annual meetings began to attract considerable interest from non-historians with technology studies interests.
Less identified with STS, but also of importance to many STS scholars in the US, are the History of Science Society, the Philosophy of Science Association, and the American Association for the History of Medicine. In addition, there are significant STS-oriented special interest groups within major disciplinary associations, including the American Anthropological Association, the American Political Science Association, and the American Sociological Association.

Journals

Important journals in STS are Social Studies of Science, Science, Technology and Human Values, Research Policy, Science Technology and Society, Science as Culture and Science and Public Policy.

6.Lowered risk of heart disease, with increased HDL cholesterol levels
7.Improved control of diabetes improved weight management

Getting in shape and staying in shape does not require many hours of intensive training. Up to 5 hours a week can achieve a good level of fitness. The acronym FIT describes 3 important aspects of exercise.

F is for frequency. To be beneficial exercise must occur 3 to 5 times per week. It is important that exercise be regular so as to reduce the risk of injuries.

I is for intensity. The full benefit to the cardiovascular system is achieved when exercise elevates the heart rate above its normal rate. There is a simple formula to follow for one to know if the exercise is intense enough. Your heart rate should be increased to about three-quarters of the value of 220 minus your age.

T is for time. Each exercise session should last about 30 minutes; a little more for gentle forms of exercise such as walking, while 15-20 minutes is sufficient for more vigorous exercise. Persons who are inactive should begin a fitness program gradually and slowly work up to the levels suggested above.

Foods For Performance

The diet that allows a person to achieve their optimal performance level consists of a high-complex carbohydrate diet (breads, cereals, pasta, fruits, and vegetables) that comprises about 60-70% of the calories. Fat intake should be about 20-30% fat and protein 15%. A high carbohydrate diet facilitates a higher level of endurance than a high fat and high protein diet.

There abounds a myriad of myths and misinformation about fitness and athletic erformance, some of which may actually be detrimental to one's performance. Some of these ideas include the following:

1.Competitors need additional protein and amino acid supplements for energy and to build muscle mass
2.Extra vitamins and minerals are needed for extra energy
3.Sugary foods are needed for quick energy and should be used before and during performance
4.Supplements such as bee pollen, lecithin, wheat germ, brewer's yeast, honey, caffeine and other ergogenic 5.Aids improve performance.Such agents are largely ineffective - salt tablets are needed to replace sodium 6.lost In sweating.
7.The use of salt tablets may lead to dehydration.

An athlete must give proper attention to the need for water. To maximize performance one should drink 2-3 cups about 2 hours before and 2 cups 15-20 minutes before the exercise session. And what is the best sports drink? During strenuous exercise, it is best to drink about 1/2 cup of plain cool water every 15 to 20 minutes to avoid dehydration and overheating. Carbonated drinks should not be used as they may cause cramps nausea, and diarrhea during exercise. "Sports" drinks are not essential. If they are consumed they should contain less than 10% sugar.

To finish, we're going to "finish up with Calories Burned on an Elliptical Trainer.

Subsequent to analysis this article, you'll be able to Select the Best Elliptical Machine.

First, let's tell around how to Select the Best Elliptical Machine.

Elliptical machines are causing a stir in the gym equipment market. and are selling the same amount of these machines to treadmills.

Budget: a major limitation to purchase an elliptical machine is the amount of money that is available for this purpose. If you are not able to buy an elliptical for 3000 dollars then find a lower priced machine that fits your budget. first determine which is your ability to pay before thinking about which machine you want to buy.
Training needs: once the budget available, we should check our training needs. The best elliptical is one that offers the best training at the lowest cost. Write a list of all requirements you want on your computer and compare with those of the machines that best suit your budget.
People will use the machine: It is also necessary to know the number and type of people who will use the elliptical. if these people are very different from one another, whether in age, weight and sex, then the elliptical must have a broad range of adjustment in all its functions.

Next, let's chat around How to Use An Elliptical Trainer.
People choose the elliptical machines because they offer greater exercise than others on the market. most people feel overwhelmed the first time they use these machines but they are actually very easy to use.

The first step: When you get to the machine put your foot on the pedal that is in the lowest position first.
Forward first: If you are new to using this machine may feel strange when the exercise is done backwards, so first give only forward and when you are more advanced in the domain of the machine try to give back.
Begin slowly: Start with the natural movement of the machine, possibly feel a little strange but you get used to.
Select the lowest resistance level: Start with the easiest level and then you increase the resistance of your machine little by little, as you feel comfortable.

Finally, let's chat about Calories Burned on an Elliptical Trainer.
One question that everyone is made is how many calories I can burn with an elliptical machine. Here are some data.

A 150 pound woman can burn 387 calories in 30 minutes
A 120 pound woman can burn 387 calories in 30 minutes
a 180 pound man can burn from 464 to 500 calories in 30 minutes of exercise.

Manufacturers say that the elliptical can burn over 720 calories per hour, although this is determined by several factors such as sex, age, weight, exercise intensity among others.

Top 2 Fitness Tips

Perform Total Body workouts

You can do these using a 5 station circuit, we often use these types of circuits at our Sydney boot camps.

This way you get to work the upper body, lower body and core all in one circuit. The way we program the circuits is an upper body pull (i.e. row, chin up), lower body push (i.e. squat/lunge)

upper body push (i.e. press ups, shoulder press), core movement (i.e. plank, rusina twist), lower body pull (kettlebell swings, deadlifts).

Perform each exercise for between 50-60 seconds and have a 10-15 second rest between each station.

High Intensity Carido

Interval training (HIIT)has been scientifically proven to burn nine time more fat than regular steady state cardio and keeps the metabolism elevated for up to 48 hours after your workout.

Perform interval training after strength training or on non-strength training days at least 3 x per week.

Depending on your fitness level alternate between 10-20 seconds of maximal effort, followed by 10-20 seconds of rest. Repeat these intervals for 10 times with a 90 second rest, then perform a 2nd set. The type of cardio can vary but at our Sydney boot camps we like to use bodyweight exercises i.e. burpees, mountain climbers etc or good old fashioned sprinting and hill training.

Top 2 Diet Tips

Eat at regular intervals

You should look to eat your first meal as soon as you wake in the morning and then every 2-4 hours after to starve fat and feed the muscle. By suppyling your body with regular fuel you will keep your metabolism high and will stop your body from going in to fat storage mode.

Think fiber first

When consuming carbs Eat as many green veggies as you like to keep your belly full between meals. For optimum fat burning try to cut out starchy carbs such as bread, rice and pasta, the only time you can break this rule is immediately after your workout.

Use these 4 health and fitness tips and you can’t go wrong!

GLOBAL RECYCLING

2010-12-13T02:58:00.000-08:00

THIS IZ ONE OF THE TOPICS I WANT TO DISCUSS WITH U WITH MY KNOWLEDGE AND INFORMATIONS ABOUT RECYCLING OVER THE WORLD...WE MUST RECYCLE EVERY SMALL THINGS THAT CAN BE..WHICH WILL REDUCE THE WASTES...IT IZ VERY IMPORTANT FOR ITS DEPOSITION OR REUSE...REUSE IZ MORE PREFERED THAN DEPOSITION..SO PALS, I WOULD LIKE TO ELOBORATE IN THE FOLLOWING CONTEXTS:::

A BRIEF INTRO TO RECYCLING

Recycling involves processing used materials (waste) into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production. Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" waste hierarchy.

Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles, and electronics. Although similar in effect, the composting or other reuse of biodegradable waste – such as food or garden waste – is not typically considered recycling.Materials to be recycled are either brought to a collection center or picked up from the curbside, then sorted, cleaned, and reprocessed into new materials bound for manufacturing.

In a strict sense, recycling of a material would produce a fresh supply of the same material—for example, used office paper would be converted into new office paper, or used foamed polystyrene into new polystyrene. However, this is often difficult or too expensive (compared with producing the same product from raw materials or other sources), so "recycling" of many products or materials involves their reuse in producing different materials (e.g., paperboard) instead. Another form of recycling is the salvage of certain materials from complex products, either due to their intrinsic value (e.g., lead from car batteries, or gold from computer components), or due to their hazardous nature (e.g., removal and reuse of mercury from various items). Critics dispute the net economic and environmental benefits of recycling over its costs, and suggest that proponents of recycling often make matters worse and suffer from confirmation bias. Specifically, critics argue that the costs and energy used in collection and transportation detract from (and outweigh) the costs and energy saved in the production process; also that the jobs produced by the recycling industry can be a poor trade for the jobs lost in logging, mining, and other industries associated with virgin production; and that materials such as paper pulp can only be recycled a few times before material degradation prevents further recycling. Proponents of recycling dispute each of these claims, and the validity of arguments from both sides has led to enduring controversy.

GENERAL PROCESS OF RECYCLING

Collection

A number of different systems have been implemented to collect recyclates from the general waste stream. These systems lie along the spectrum of trade-off between public convenience and government ease and expense. The three main categories of collection are "drop-off centres", "buy-back centres" and "curbside collection".
Drop-off centres require the waste producer to carry the recyclates to a central location, either an installed or mobile collection station or the reprocessing plant itself. They are the easiest type of collection to establish, but suffer from low and unpredictable throughput. Buy-back centres differ in that the cleaned recyclates are purchased, thus providing a clear incentive for use and creating a stable supply. The post-processed material can then be sold on, hopefully creating a profit. Unfortunately government subsidies are necessary to make buy-back centres a viable enterprise, as according to the United States Nation Solid Wastes Management Association it costs on average US$50 to process a ton of material, which can only be resold for US$30.

Curbside collection

Curbside collection encompasses many subtly different systems, which differ mostly on where in the process the recyclates are sorted and cleaned. The main categories are mixed waste collection, commingled recyclables and source separation.A waste collection vehicle generally picks up the waste.

A recycling truck collecting the contents of a recycling bin in Canberra, Australia.

At one end of the spectrum is mixed waste collection, in which all recyclates are collected mixed in with the rest of the waste, and the desired material is then sorted out and cleaned at a central sorting facility. This results in a large amount of recyclable waste, paper especially, being too soiled to reprocess, but has advantages as well: the city need not pay for a separate collection of recyclates and no public education is needed. Any changes to which materials are recyclable is easy to accommodate as all sorting happens in a central location.

In a Commingled or single-stream system, all recyclables for collection are mixed but kept separate from other waste. This greatly reduces the need for post-collection cleaning but does require public education on what materials are recyclable.
Source separation is the other extreme, where each material is cleaned and sorted prior to collection. This method requires the least post-collection sorting and produces the purest recyclates, but incurs additional operating costs for collection of each separate material. An extensive public education program is also required, which must be successful if recyclate contamination is to be avoided.
Source separation used to be the preferred method due to the high sorting costs incurred by commingled collection. Advances in sorting technology (see sorting below), however, have lowered this overhead substantially—many areas which had developed source separation programs have since switched to comingled collection.

Sorting

Once commingled recyclates are collected and delivered to a central collection facility, the different types of materials must be sorted. This is done in a series of stages, many of which involve automated processes such that a truck-load of material can be fully sorted in less than an hour. Some plants can now sort the materials automatically, known as single-stream recycling. A 30 percent increase in recycling rates has been seen in the areas where these plants exist.
Initially, the commingled recyclates are removed from the collection vehicle and placed on a conveyor belt spread out in a single layer. Large pieces of corrugated fiberboard and plastic bags are removed by hand at this stage, as they can cause later machinery to jam.
Next, automated machinery separates the recyclates by weight, splitting lighter paper and plastic from heavier glass and metal. Cardboard is removed from the mixed paper, and the most common types of plastic, PET (#1) and HDPE (#2), are collected. This separation is usually done by hand, but has become automated in some sorting centers: a spectroscopic scanner is used to differentiate between different types of paper and plastic based on the absorbed wavelengths, and subsequently divert each material into the proper collection channel.
Strong magnets are used to separate out ferrous metals, such as iron, steel, and tin-plated steel cans ("tin cans"). Non-ferrous metals are ejected by magnetic eddy currents in which a rotating magnetic field induces an electric current around the aluminium cans, which in turn creates a magnetic eddy current inside the cans. This magnetic eddy current is repulsed by a large magnetic field, and the cans are ejected from the rest of the recyclate stream.
Finally, glass must be sorted by hand based on its color: brown, amber, green or clear.

MORDERN MATHEMATICS

Modern Mathematics Education
Need of Reform

Descartes (1596-1650)

A reform of mathematics education is necessary to make it conform to the modern information society based on computational mathematics.

Mathematics in the Information Society

The theoretical basis of science and technology is mathematical modeling using

calculus: function, derivative, integral, differential equation
linear algebra: vector, matrix, linear system of algebraic equations.
Calculus was invented by Leibniz and Newton in the late 17th century and reached maturity in the 19th century. Linear algebra was inititiated by Descartes in the form of analytical geometry preparing the development of calculus, and with the computer developing into numerical linear algebra in the mid 20th century and more generally into the modern information society as described in Return of Descartes.

Mathematical modeling includes the following key steps:

formulate equation using calculus and linear algebra
solve equation by computation, analytical or digital by computers.

The principal tool to solve equations before 1950 was analytical calculus and simple forms of computation using mechanical calculator or slide rule. The principal tool today is computational calculus/linear algebra or computational mathematics using computers.

Using analytical calculus only simple equations can be solved. Using computational mathematics virtually any equation can be solved. The usefulness of mathematical modeling is thus drastically expanded using computers because realistic modeling becomes possible.

The result is our modern information society, which is based on computational mathematics as the engine of

communication, information, searching...
virtual reality: picture, film, computer games, music...
science: realistic simulation of physical phenomena: weather, global warming...
medicin: tomography, genetics...
economy: planning, derivative markets...

Mathematics Education Today and Tomorrow

Mathematics education forms the basis of the modern information society, but its content and form are essentially the same as 50 years ago before the computer revolution, essentially in the form of classical analytical calculus/algebra.

The result is a crisis of mathematics education: A mathematics teacher can no longer demonstrate the usefulness of analytical calculus, because the information society of the student is missing, and the credibility so important in any form of teaching and learning, is suffering. The knowledge of mathematics is deteriorating in a society where mathematics becomes increasingly important.

A reform of mathematics education is necessary, but strong forces in academics and in the education of mathematics teachers block reform. In a reformed mathematics education the computational power of
the computer in solving equations, is coupled with the power of the mathematical language of formulating equations to solve. This means that calculus/linear algebra is boosted with a turbo into a new powerful tool for realistic simulation by computation, realized in the FEniCS Project.

The power of computational mathematics is demonstrated in resolution of the main open problem of classical mathematics of turbulence by computational solution of the Navier-Stokes/Euler equations, see the Knol articles on d'Alembert's paradox, second law of thermodynamics, Clay Navier-Stokes millennium problem.

The need of reform is developed in Dreams of Calculus: Perspectives on Mathematics Education

Reform Program
The Body and Soul Project offers a reformed mathematics education where Body represents calculus and linear algebra and Soul represents computation, in a synthesis of computational calculus. The program contains books , instructional material and computational software in a presentation of mathematics which is understandable and useful, in contrast to many traditional programs which are not understandable or not useful or both. The reform program is ideally suited for Open Online Learning.

A new web-version of BodyandSoul is under development.

Liberation of Human Body and Soul
The human mind is powerful as concerns matters of principle but it is a poor calculator or computer.

Formulating equations concerns matters of principle: The Navier-Stokes/Euler equations express the principles of conservation of mass, momentum and energy in the form of a system of differential equations. The human mind or intelligence is able to formulate equations based on principles, but is not able to solve equations, because it requires long tedious computation. But computers can do the required computations very fast and don't get tired.

This means that human intelligence playing with principles combined with a computer doing tedious unintelligent number crunching, is a very powerful tool both for understanding and control of the physical world, and for generating new virtual worlds.

Human society with its pyramids, cathedrals and cities has resulted form a combination of human mind expressing principle and human body performing the physical labour required to realize the principle. In the industrial society human body is liberated by machines from doing hard tedious physical work, and in the information society human mind is liberated from doing hard tedious computation. To realize the potential
a reformation of mathematics education is needed.

Soccer Games and Baking Cakes vs Computational Mathematics
Solving a differential equation by computation can be compared to a soccer game consisting of

a set of rules of the game --- the principles expressed by the differential equation
two teams + one soccer ball + one soccer field --- real numbers + derivatives
a set of referees --- error control checking that the principles/rules are followed
the actual game --- computing a solution by a computer.
We understand that it is big difference between the setup consisting of rules + teams + ball + field, which is
like formulating an equation, and the physical process of actuallly playing a real game in real time with a
specific choice of players, which is like computing a solution with specific data.

Likewise there is a big difference between a recipee for a cake and an actual cake baked according to the
recipee or principle. You can eat a cake but not a recipee!

Computational mathematics can also be compared with baking a cake according to a recipee. We know that it is very useful to understand the principles involved, e.g. the effect of beating or heating, and that it is necessary to have the ingredients available and subject them to beating and heating in the right order according to the recipee. Without ingredients and without following the recipee, there will be no cake.

Formulating an equation is like writing down a recipee for a cake, and computing a solution is like baking a real cake following the recipee using real ingredients (real numbers!). A computed solution can be inspected and enjoyed, just like a real cake.

Principles of Mathematics and Computation
To understand principles may be possible, while to follow principles may be difficult. In mathematics the most essential is to understand the principles involved, which may not be so difficult. If the more difficult part of actually computing something following the principles, can be left to a computer, mathematics can be made both more understandable and more useful for many.
If you understand the rules of a soccer game, which is not so difficult, then you can enjoy watching a soccer game without being able to actually play that well yourself. If you don´t understand the rules, you get nothing out of it.
Mathematics is based on principles. If you can understand the principles you have come a long way. Part of the difficulty of mathematics is to realize that it is a game based on certain principles, and nothing else. This means that you are not free to invent new principles along the way; you have to stick to the given principles and nothing else. This can be helpful, because the options are restricted, but can also be felt like a straitjacket with no freedom, only impossibility. In any case, understanding the principles and what they allow and forbid is very helpful and not so difficult i many cases. For example, you can understand that the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations just express Newton's 2nd law F=ma and that the fluid is incompressible (like water).
Body and Soul program presents mathematics and computation based on principles, which are realized using computers. FEniCS is based on a set of principles for computing solutions of differential equations allowing automation of computational solution of differential equations: Typing a differential equation on the keyboard into the computer, like the Navier-Stokes equations, together with some input data, you get the solution output by presssing a solve button. This is like getting the value of the exponential function exp(x) for a given x, say x=10, by typing exp(10) on a calculator. In fact, the exponential function is evaluated by solving the simple differential equation du/dt = u for t>0 with u(0)=1.
But it is not black box magic: The principles are understandable and can be understood by many, and watching solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations uncovers the secrets of turbulence, just like the secret of exponential growth is revealed by solving the differential equation du/dt = u. Compare with Mathematics=Magics?

PALS,,THESE ARE THE ASPECTS OF MORDERB MATHEMATICS WHICH WILL CHANGE THE AMBIENCE OF THE FUTURE WORLD AND ITS INFLUENCE TO OUR LIFE..........

"I agree with your claim. This is very good knol and your proposal is important.
However, pure mathematics has occupied the foundation of mathematics. I shall change this situation. I want to provide the biological basis of computational mathematics. Please read my ideas."

PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT

2010-12-12T15:47:00.000-08:00

TODAYS WORLD IS RAPIDLY GLOBALIZING AND SPEEDING UP IN A FLICKER OF SECONDS..DESCISIONS,WORKS ,IMPLEMENTATION AND CONSEQUENCES ARE LOOKED UP VERY QUICKLY...IN THIS ASPECT A REAL AND GOOD PERSONALITY PLAYS A VITAL ROLE WHICH MAY DEFINE US AND OUR WORKING AND THINKINGS...IT DISTINGUISHES US FROM OTHERS IN MANY ASPECTS AS WE DEVELOP IT WITH THE DEMAND OD THE WORLD..HERE I HAVE INTRODUCED PERSONALITY AND ITS DEVELOPMENT TIPS::

Personality Development: Be Who You Want to Be

Personality is an interesting subject, and not a topic I wanted to cover until I had thoroughly done my research. After-all, even just the word ‘personality’ means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Our personality actually plays a huge part in how we perceive the world and how the world perceives us so I think it is an important subject to cover.

This site is all about living the life you want to live and being who you want to be and I think it’s safe to say that we each view someone’s personality as a large part of what makes them who they are. With that in mind, let’s look at how you can change yours for your own benefit.

What is Our Personality?

I searched around for some definitions of this term and I have to say that my favourite is rather basic: “A set of qualities that make a person distinct from another”. Nice, simple, to the point and the exact definition that I’ve come to think the word means through my 19 years of existence.

On top of that statement, I, like many others, believe that our personality includes our beliefs and values so this is the understanding of the word I’m going to use here. Feel free to substitute your own definition and still go through the process towards the middle of this post.
How It Is Formed

Your current personality, whatever it may be, has been formed in a number of ways. Psychologists have studied human personalities for years and have come to a number of conclusions. First of all, it is believed that certain traits in our character are hereditary, yet things like our values and beliefs are derived from socialization and unique experiences, mostly from childhood.

Based on that statement, it’s likely that the personality of you and anyone you know is based on:
Social experiences (especially from childhood)
Unique experiences that you have had in your lifetime
The environment in which you grew up and how you had to act

While most of this might seem obvious, there is some strong research which suggests that a lot of our current personality is in-fact, genetic. As an example, researchers from the University of Minnesota studied 8,000 twins who had been separated shortly after birth and reunited later in life for whatever reason. They found that even though one of the twins may have lived a completely different live in a different environment, their behaviours were still almost identical.

I don’t think I like the idea that our personality and specifically our behaviours are largely proven to be based around our genetic make-up. That being said, I still believe it is entirely possible to change your personality and literally be whoever you want to be.
Designing your Own Personality

Before continuing with the following steps on designing your own personality, spend a few minutes thinking of the personalities of people in your life. I have some close friends that I know whenever I see them they will cheer me up because they are happy and very positive. On the other hand, I also have friends that are close, but I can always predict how they will react in certain situations and it is usually in a negative manner.

I think all of you can relate to my situation of having friends who you love to be around and other friends who you do care about, but make you feel ‘drained’ when you spend time with them.

The whole point of this post and personality development in general is to develop the characteristics you want to have rather than the ones you’ve been conditioned with.

Following are four steps that I have personally used in the past month to help bring about a change in my own personality that have allowed me to literally be the type of person I want to be. If you are just a skim reader, do not take any advice in this post. The sections in bold need their descriptions to be read in order to have this process result in the kind of personality that you want.

1. Be Honest With Your Current TraitsHow would you describe yourself right now? Personally I think I have quite a split personality. At times I can be quiet, I keep myself to myself and I’m very considerate towards the feelings of others. At other times, I can be quite crazy, highly outgoing and literally oblivious to what people think and I don’t really care.

It’s important that you are honest with your current traits so you can decide what you want to change. The position I would like to take my life requires me to be considerate to others so I wouldn’t change that, but I also want to have other characteristics which don’t necessarily compliment being considerate.

If you’ve just spent the last few days in a negative spiral, cursing everything and thinking the world owes you a favour, then don’t define yourself as someone who is happy and positive all the time. You may be happy and positive some of the time, but you should be aware of the traits you aren’t so proud of as well as the ones that you are. Honest self-assessment is key to this step of the process.

2. Define the Qualities You Want to Have

Because this is all about you being who you want to be, it’s time to pick the qualities that you want to have. I have to stress that is important that you do not go overboard on this part of the process and pick tons of qualities that you desire. It is far easier to focus on around 5 core qualities you would like to have at a time rather than a list of 20 or more.

Some of the qualities that I picked for myself were:
Independent
Honest
Positive
Fun / Good sense of humour
Trustworthy

It is important you pick qualities that you want to have, rather than qualities you think people want you to have. I put honest and trustworthy on my list because they matter to me personally, but I also put positive because life is a toss-up between that and negative. Most people will say they want to be positive yet they unconsciously love drama in their lives, so really think about this before making your list.

3. Visualise Yourself for 21 Days with These Qualities

The 21-day format has been without a doubt the most amazing thing I have came across in my life. I like to think that I semi-invented this idea because even though it is featured in the book ‘Psycho Cybernetics’ by Maxwell Maltz, I can’t find any evidence online of someone who had put a plan in place for this and implemented it (so I did).

This third part of the process will involve you visualising yourself in any situation having the qualities that you want to have. There are a few things to remember during visualisations and the 21-day challenge:
You must do this for 21 days without missing a day
You need to visualise yourself being how you want to be in terms of the end result, not the process
Your visualisations need to be as real as possible – notice smells, colours, small details and sounds from your imagined environment

To give an example, If I want the quality of positivity to become natural, then each day I must spend a couple of minutes visualising myself being positive. For example I might visualise myself, as vividly as possible, being positive after an event that most people would struggle to remain happy about. I am aware of the fact that this idea will sound very silly if you have never tried it before.

However, it is scientifically proven that our nervous system can not tell the difference between a real event and one that is vividly imagined. The 21 days that you will do this process for is enough time for new connections and pathways to form in your brain, thus ‘imprinting’ your desired result – sort of like a habitual auto-response.

4. Act as If They Are Present

This is quite self explanatory, but in everyday life see if you can act as if your desired qualities are already present. If you want to be positive then be positive, if you wish to be honest then start implementing that in your life. This will get much, much easier as you get closer to the end of the 21 day challenge and this starts to become habitual.

For those of you who do take this challenge I would love for you to come back in around three weeks and let me know how you get on. To everyone else, I would love your thoughts of the idea in general and what your thoughts are on changing our personalities.

NEPAL TOURISM YEAR 2011

2010-12-12T05:41:00.000-08:00

NEPAL HAS ALWAYZ BEEN A NATURAL BEAUTY FOR ALL THW WORLD AROUND US...AND ALSO HAD SUCCEDED IN HOSTING THOUSANDS OF LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL TOURISTS...DUE TO ITS DIVERSIFIED CULTUERES AND TRADITIONS AND A WIDE VARIETY OF FASCINATING FLORA AND FAUNA PEOPLE ARE MUCH ATTRACTED TO IT....SO A GUD PLAN IS BEEN MADE TO MAKE THE TOURISM YEAR A SUCCES

The natural scenery, high mountains, incomparable cultural heritage and numerous specialties have made Nepal a well-known destination in the world tourism map with a distinct image of its own. However, the development of tourism is limited in number and within the certain areas of the country only. The new government has shown greater concerns about the real value of tourism and its role in contributing to economic growth, poverty alleviation, equity and overall tourism development in the country.

Therefore, the government is placing high priority on the tourism sector in its new economic development policy. As there is a favorable political situation in the country, the government is all geared towards economic revolution in next 10 years for the up-liftment of the masses. In this connection, government of Nepal in consultation with Nepalese Tourism Industry, concerned organizations and experts decided to launch a national tourism campaign "Nepal Tourism Year 2011". This announcement reflects the government’s anticipation to bring into at least one million international tourists in Nepal by the year 2011 and spread the benefits of tourism to the people at large. The national campaign also indicates the tourism industry’s exigency to organize a tourism promotion campaign having wider impact.

With the glittering badge of adventure destination and the adage “Atithi Devo Bhava” (Guests are Gods) that reflects "Atithi Satkar, Nepaliko Sanskar" (Hospitality is Nepalese culture) deeply rooted in our culture, the tourism products of Nepal never cease to mesmerize the visitors. The cultural, geographical, ethnic and bio-diversities of the country allure international visitors to Nepal time and again which truly substantiates the spirit of Nepal tourism brand; ‘Naturally Nepal, once is not enough !

The concept of Nepal Tourism Year 2011 envisions harnessing these opportunities and strengths and bringing together the commitment of the government, expertise and experiences of the organizations like Nepal Tourism Board, aptitude and dynamism of the private sector and communities for further tourism development in the country. Active involvement of the major political parties, members of the Constitution Assembly and Right groups is always taken into consideration in order to make the campaign inclusive and participatory in modus operandi and effective in result. The campaign will also focus on mobilizing the networks of the Non-Resident Nepalis (NRN) communities, Nepalese diplomatic missions abroad, I/NGOs, airlines, and national and international media. Similarly, friends and well-wishers of Nepal, tourism academicians and celebrities will also be approached in order to highlight the campaign internally as well as internationally. This is also called Visit Nepal Year 2011.

Objectives of Campaign:
Establish Nepal as a choice of premier holiday destination with a definite brand image.

Improve and extend tourism related infrastructures in existing and new destinations

Enhance the capacity of service providers.

Boost community capacity in the new areas to cater the need of the visitors.

Promote domestic tourism for sustainable growth of the industry.

Campaign Targets:

Achieve one million international visitors

Encouraging more investment on tourism infrastructures

LATEST HOLLYWOOD MOVIES

2010-12-12T05:10:00.000-08:00

HEY PALS, CHECK OUT SOME OF HOLLYWOOD RELEASES.....I HAVE SUCCINT THE LIST OF THE FILMS IN THIS WAY SO TO HAVE NO CONFUSION ON THE MATTER OF WATCHING A MOVIE......THESE R SOME OF MY QUEED ONES OF WATCHABLE MOVIE.....HOPE U N JOY..

                                        Gulliver's Travels
                                                               You have not lived until you've watched people get peed on in 3D.

Trailer| Photos| Movie Info| Showtimes & Tickets

You have not lived until you’ve watched people get peed on in 3D. I certainly never thought I’d live see it, least of all in a PG movie, but thanks to Rob Letterman’s execrable Gulliver’s Travels, the latest installment in Hollywood’s ongoing “Gang-Raping the Classics” series, I can now cross it off my bucket list. Merry Christmas to me.

The scene in question occurs in the film when Jack Black's title character is confronted with a raging fire in the tiny town of Lilliput which threatens to consume its castle and much of its miniature citizenry. Being Jack Black, he improvises the only solution we can expect from a character played by Jack Black: He drops trou and unleashes the contents of his own firehose, thus extinguishing the fire and becoming a hero to the Lilliputians, who appear far too pleased to be doused in urine. They're downright giddy, in fact. It’s by far the film’s most memorable scene (indeed, I fear it is permanently etched on my brain), and it’s cause to wonder: Since when are golden showers considered PG-appropriate? Has the MPAA been suddenly overrun by creepy sex fetishists and water sports fanatics? If so, perhaps the producers of Caligula might with to have their film re-evaluated.

Black might as well have pissed on Jonathan Swift’s grave for all the reverence he and director Letterman display for the author’s source material. Swift’s story, about a traveler who becomes marooned on an island filled with people one-twelfth his size, has been re-worked as a vapid vehicle for its star’s antic stylings. His Lemuel Gulliver is a slacker man-child (sound familiar?), a mailroom attendant at a New York newspaper who bluffs his way into a gig writing about the Bermuda Triangle. But somewhere along the way to the mysterious place, he’s swallowed up by an inter-dimensional portal and transported to the Lilliputians' island nation, where he lives as a god-clown among them. A variety of misadventures ensue, some of which rival the aforementioned urine-soaking scene in their transcendently anti-comic impact, until Gulliver finally learns the value of telling the truth and growing up. And we discover that some lessons aren't worth the pain involved in learning them.

I genuinely adore much of Jack Black’s work, but he seems determined to personally prove the Theory of Diminishing Returns, and dreck like Gulliver’s Travels is nigh-impossible to defend. Perhaps I doth protest too much. Perhaps it’s pointless to get so worked up over what’s essentially a harmless family film. Then again, if this is the kind of thing that entertains families these days, perhaps society might conceive of a better use for them.

How Do You Know
Clever lines and a fine performance by Owen Wilson aren't enough to redeem this flat and oddly unnerving comedy.

Trailer| Photos| Movie Info| Showtimes & Tickets

How Do You Know, the latest dramedy from writer/director James L. Brooks (As Good As It Gets, Spanglish), pulsates with strangeness. Characters talk at each other, blathering on about their various problems, in conversations punctuated by uncomfortable pauses, shot at odd angles by cinematographer Janusz Kaminski (!) and set to a unnervingly sentimental score by Hans Zimmer (!). Jokes are set up and not delivered, or delivered without any set-up, making you wonder whether they were intended as jokes in the first place. Is How Do You Know deliberately strange, or accidentally so? If it weren’t so dreadfully boring, I might care to know.

The story centers on two people cast adrift by recent career bombshells: Hardy softball star Lisa (Reese Witherspoon) is rudderless after discovering she’s been cut by the National Team; earnest but neurotic businessman George (Paul Rudd) is floored by federal indictment which exiles him from the company his father (a weary, laryngitic Jack Nicholson) heads. Lisa and George are meant to end up together — at least this is what Brooks tells us, without ever making a convincing argument as to why — but their eventual pairing is delayed by Lisa’s meandering relationship with Matty (Owen Wilson) a pitcher for Major League Baseball’s Washington Nationals.

In Matty, one finds How Do You Know’s most compelling feature. As a successful professional athlete, he is polyamorous by nature — it’s the only life he’s known. But he’s no scheming womanizer a la Tiger Woods. An accidental — and exceedingly polite — narcissist, beautiful women flock to him, offering sex without strings, and he graciously welcomes their company. In Lisa, he’s found someone with whom he genuinely wants to settle down, but he can’t seem to figure out how to square it with is existing values system. Love, the monogamous variety, is a legitimately alien notion to him. It’s a role perfectly suited for Wilson, looking a tad weathered but still chock full of easy charisma.

Love — or the expression of it, at least — is not a problem for George. He absolutely adores Lisa. We know this because he informs her of this, repeatedly. Other times, he simply stares at her for extended periods. Why Lisa would find such palpably creepy overtures appealing, we’ll never know. Certainly, Brooks never bothers to explain. With How Do You Know, he has achieved what many thought impossible: He has drained Paul Rudd entirely of his charm. James L. Brooks is Rudd’s kryptonite.

Much of Brooks’ career has been predicated on The Zinger, and at this late stage, it may be all that he has left. There are certainly several memorable lines to be found in How Do You Know — enough to make for a convincing trailer at least — but they achieve a fraction of their intended impact, mainly because Brooks seems too tired to provide much context for them, or to add layers and depth to the characters uttering them. And there are aren’t nearly enough of them to sustain a film that has precious little else to offer.

Tron: Legacy (PG)
A landmark achievement in visual effects, sound and production design, and a disappointment in almost every other respect
.

Trailer| Photos| Movie Info| Showtimes & Tickets

The problems with TRON: Legacy can be traced back to its origins. According to lore, Disney execs spent years kicking around various ideas for revisiting or remaking TRON, Steven Lisberger’s groundbreaking 1982 sci-fi flick which, among other achievements, originated the concept of CGI, but nothing stuck and the project stagnated until producer Sean Bailey happened upon an effects test reel created on spec by Joseph Kosinski, a commercial director by trade and architect by training. Disney, wowed by the reel and encouraged by its enthusiastic reception at Comic-Con, agreed to move forward on a big-budget sequel with Kosinski at the helm.

In other words, TRON: Legacy didn’t come into being because of a must-read script or a compelling story treatment or even a clever logline; it came into being, at a reported cost of nearly $200 million, because of a video clip that looked really, really cool. This is rarely the stuff of which classic movies are made.

But it does look really, really cool. A marvel of production design, TRON: Legacy’s aesthetic delivers on the promise of Kosinski’s test reel and more, enveloping the audience in a glossy world of black and teal and amber. But, like so many Hollywood creations, it is drop-dead gorgeous (especially in IMAX) and yet utterly insubstantial, a glittering facade built around a largely hollow core. The principle duty of its script, from veteran Lost scribes Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, is to provide just enough of a plot to occupy us as Kosinski readies his next opulent set piece. But the film’s story and design elements interact awkwardly, and the film is often weighed down by ponderous exposition and flashbacks. It's almost as if its director and writers are running incompatible operating systems.

As the film opens, software pioneer Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) has been missing and presumed dead for over two decades. In truth, he is not dead or missing but trapped inside The Grid, an alternate universe, first envisaged in the 1982 film, where computer users interact with software programs (or their humanoid avatars, at least), ride motorcycles that travel on ribbons of light, and wage death duels with electronic frisbees.

But The Grid has fallen on hard times since its founding, as Flynn’s orphaned son, Sam (Garrett Hedlund), a 27-year-old adrenaline junkie with an anarchist streak, learns when he drops by the place in the hopes of locating his long-lost dad. Sure, there are still the lightcycle races and frisbee fights, and the infrastructure has undergone a welcome cosmetic upgrade — snazzy, skin-tight leather uniforms have replaced the old plastic circuit-board suits — but it’s now become a neo-Roman dictatorship, ruled by a maleficent program called CLU. Short for Codified Likeness Utility, CLU was created by Flynn to serve as his surrogate, but he eventually turned on his master and grabbed The Grid for himself.

CLU sends Sam to the gladiator arena, and he seems destined to die there until a spirited vixen named Quorra (Olivia Wilde), the last living representative of a spontaneously evolving digital species (not worth going into), swoops in and rescues him, then reunites him with his dad. Father and son make an odd pairing. Hedlund, who is now shooting an adaptation of Kerouac's On the Road, speaks in sort of a tired, throaty monotone, perfect for a beat poet but less so for an action star; Bridges, meanwhile, has reinvented his character as a digitized Dude. Steeped in Zen wisdom, he muses about "knocking on the sky to listen to the sound" and making "bio-digital jazz, man," and advises his son that "the only way to win the game is not to play." Sound advice, but it doesn't do much to move the plot along. So Sam heads off to take on CLU, and the old man soon has little choice but to join him.

In CLU, one can find no more perfect embodiment of TRON: Legacy’s fatal flaw. Voiced by Bridges and animated with computers using state-of-the-art motion-capture technology, the character is meant to appear as a mirror image of a younger Flynn, so close in resemblance that his son wouldn't know the difference. But it isn’t. In fact, it’s not even close. CLU may be a technical wonder, but it's unconvincing as Bridges' digital doppelganger. The filmmakers fell in love with the technology without considering whether it fulfilled its intended purpose — which, in this case, it clearly doesn’t.* But damned if it doesn't look really, really cool.

TRON: Legacy will probably be a big hit with technology fetishists, and it could very well end up a 420 staple, but it won't likely inspire the kind of furious dorm-room debates that Inception did, mainly because its plot doesn’t hold up against the most elementary of logical stress tests, the most obvious of which is: How did The Grid survive all these years while the computer servers that hosted it were powered down? (And don't even bother to ask what happened to Cillian Murphy's character, granted all of one line of dialogue in the first act.) Questions like this might seem inconsequential to Kosinski, but they are essential to us. TRON: Legacy represents a landmark achievement in visual effects, sound and production design, but it's a disappointment in almost every other respect.

* The filmmakers also appear to have ignored the fact that our voices change with age, just as our appearances do. CLU may resemble a younger Jeff Bridges, but the timbre of his speech is unmistakeably that of the current, older version. For an illustration of what I mean, listen to the Beach Boys' original, 1966 rendition of "Good Vibrations," then compare it to Brian Wilson's 2004 re-recording of the song. Then, if you really want to have your mind blown, listen to Mark Wahlberg's version.

'The Tourist'
"'The Tourist' is rather empty and cosmetic."

Trailer| Photos| Movie Info| Showtimes & Tickets

The Tourist is about as difficult to get through as spotting the vowels in the name of its director. Florian Henckel von Donnersmark was last seen receiving a Best Foreign Film Oscar in 2007 for The Lives of Others, which was about a couple living in East Berlin who were being monitored by the police of the German Democratic Republic. Its positive reception made way for the assumption that Donnersmark would continue to populate the USA with films of seemingly otherworldly and underrepresented themes. But his current project is saddening in its superficiality and total implausibility.

The film’s only real upside is its stars: two of our most prized Americans. Johnny Depp plays Frank Tupelo, a math teacher from Wisconsin who travels to Europe after his wife leaves him, presumably because of his weakness and simplicity. While en route to Venice, he meets Elise Clifton-Ward (Angelina Jolie), who situates herself in his company after she receives a letter from her criminal lover, Alexander Pearce (who stole some billions from a very wealthy Russian and the British government), with instructions to find someone on a train who looks like him and make the police believe that he is the real Alexander Pearce to throw the authorities and the Russians off his track. Elise picks Frank, and after they are photographed kissing each other on the balcony of Elise’s hotel, everyone begins to believe Frank is the real Pearce and so begins the chase.

While Donnersmark could not have picked two better looking people to film roaming around Venice, his lack of faith in the audience is obvious. Every aspect of the characters is hammed up again and again as if Donnersmark felt burdened with the task of making us see his vision. Doubtful that we’re capable of getting to where he wants us, he has crafted a movie completely devoid of subtlety. Elise’s strength and superiority over Frank are portrayed by close-ups and repeated instances of men burping up their lungs upon seeing her (as if her beauty is in any way subjective?). And in case we forgot that Frank is the victim in this story -- even though he’s been tricked, chased and shot at - Donnersmark still felt the need to pin him with a lame electronic cigarette to puff on. Frank and Elise somehow manage to lack mystery even though we get very few factual details about each of them.

Nothing extraordinary comes to us in the way of the film’s structural elements, either. There is very little of the action that The Tourist’s marketing led us to believe, and the dialog is often painful. The plot itself is almost shockingly unbelievable, especially when we’re asked to believe that Elise falls in love with Frank after a combination of kissing him once and her disclosed habit of swooning over men she only spent an hour with (yes, that was on her CV).

The Tourist is rather empty and cosmetic. It’s worth seeing if you’re a superfan of Jolie or Depp, but don’t expect to walk out of the theater with anything more than the stub you came in with.

'Tangled'
A lively comic twist on the classic 'Rapunzel' fairytale.

Trailer| Photos| Movie Info| Showtimes & Tickets

Having only recently revived its cartoon fairytale division, Disney abruptly announced earlier this week that it’s leaving the business for good. Which is a shame, because few cinematic staples have proved more consistently entertaining -- or more effective as a babysitting tool. With its final fairytale adaptation, Tangled, a lively comic take of the classic Rapunzel fable, the venerable studio can at least say that it’s exiting the genre on a high note.

Tweaks have been made to the original Brothers Grimm story, most notable of which is that Rapunzel’s (Mandy Moore) trademark golden locks are now imbued with magical powers -- specifically, the ability to halt or reverse the aging process -- that are activated, conveniently enough, whenever she serenades them with her dulcet voice. Born a princess, she was plucked from the cradle by a capricious crone, Mother Gothel (Broadway star Donna Murphy), who locked the child in a tower and raised her as her own daughter. Obsessed with preserving her youthful looks, she employs Rapunzel as her own private botox clinic while taking steps to ensure that her little Patty Hearst never learns of her true royal heritage.

As befitting current social mores, this Rapunzel is not the proverbial damsel in distress, waiting patiently for a prince to come rescue her. Modern-day fairytale heroines simply must be more proactive. Though preternaturally naïve, she's impressively well-read for a child abductee, and she brims with curiosity about the outside world. On the eve of her 18th birthday, she desperately longs to experience it first-hand, despite the many dire (and entirely fabricated) warnings from "mother" about its inherent dangers.

Rapunzel's opportunity to escape comes when a wily bandit named Flynn Ryder (Zachary Levi) attempts to hide out in her tower, only to be knocked out and taken captive by its plucky resident, who coerces him into acting as her bodyguard during an impromptu tour of society at large. This flip of the traditional script sets the stage for the kind of climactic clash of opposites that can only ever result in eternal love.

Lyricist Glenn Slater and Oscar-winning composer Alan Mencken, both Mouse House veterans, collaborated on the Tangled soundtrack, and while the film’s musical numbers aren’t likely to inspire a blockbuster Broadway musical (though I’d love to see how all that hair would fare on-stage), they partner nicely with the script’s buoyant comic tone, moving the narrative forward instead of distracting us from it, as musical numbers so often do. The story falters a bit in the third act -- especially during its disappointing climax, during which Rapunzel suddenly discovers that her hair possesses Lazarus-like abilities -- but not enough to bring down the film as a whole.

What impressed me most about Tangled was its visual aesthetic, which effectively marries the charm of the old-school hand-drawn style with CGI's unsurpassed ability to awe. (All sorts of innovations were required to properly render Rapunzel’s 70-foot mane, which shimmers and glows with a life of its own.) Wrapped together in a wondrous 3D package, it serves as a fitting farewell to a fine filmmaking tradition.

The term “burlesque,” for the uninitiated, refers to a specific brand of female striptease that incorporates flamboyant costumes, elaborate choreography, kitschy songs, and various other elements to which heterosexual men are largely indifferent. But it’s wildly popular in other circles -- so much so, in fact, that it has earned its very own film, titled, oddly enough, Burlesque.

Written and directed by music video veteran Steven Antin, Burlesque is fashioned loosely as a camp homage to the 2000 film Coyote Ugly. Stage and screen legend Cher, brought to life by an innovative blend of animatronics and CGI, stars as Tess, the brash, tough-as-nails proprietress of Hollywood's almost unbearably fabulous Burlesque Lounge. Despite the obvious popularity of its musical revue, the club is plagued by money problems, which makes it the target of acquisitive real estate developer Marcus Gerber (Eric Dane), a man whose name alone carries all sorts of ominous Teutonic implications. But Tess, determined diva that she is, refuses to sell. She's not about to let years of gross financial mismanagement kill her dream of providing a haven where scantily clad women can dance provocatively without fear of encountering men who’d like to sleep with them.

Potential salvation arrives in the luminous, top-heavy form of Iowa-bred Ali (Christina Aguilera), a vision of wide-eyed innocence and vaulting ambition in soft focus. Immediately upon entering the Lounge, she is struck by the sudden realization that her lifelong dream is to become a burlesque superstar. Unfortunately, Tess doesn’t initially recognize Ali’s potential, and the poor girl is forced to slum it as a cocktail waitress in the bar area, where she’s embraced by the club’s straightgay bartender Jack (Cam Gigandet), a southern transplant whose own showbiz dream involves making it as a songwriter. (In accordance with songwriter tradition, he takes pains to ensure that every inch of his chiseled frame is bronzed and waxed. Just like Bernie Taupin.) In her free time, Ali devotes herself to the study of burlesque, and when her opportunity arises, she seizes it without hesitation.

Burlesque is principally the Cher and Christina Show, and the film thrives when their respective talents are on display. (“Talents,” obviously, gaining a dual meaning in regards to Aguilera.) Surrounding them are a smattering of stock characters pursuing forgettable story arcs, the lone exception being the always excellent Stanley Tucci, adding a pinkish hue to his incomparable wit in the role of Sean, Tess’s long-suffering, boa-clad second-in-command. He and co-star Alan Cumming are two sides of the same sassy coin, but Cumming is little more than a bitchy bit player in Burlesque, poking his head into the frame on occasion to deliver a biting one-liner. Then again, that description could apply to any number of characters in the film.

It appears that Antin, true to his music-video pedigree, conceived of Burlesque with the song-and-dance pieces in mind first, then set about building a story around them. (The opposite is generally preferred.) The musical set pieces are lavish, sexy, and at times truly dazzling, especially when Aguilera takes the stage, but they do little to advance the film’s plot. Consequently, Burlesque’s running time swells to almost two hours to satisfy the demands of a story that, frankly, seem hardly worthy of such an effort.

'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1'
Though considerably less rousing and whimsical than previous 'Harry Potter' installments, this solemn prelude to the franchise finale is just as absorbing.

Trailer| Photos| Movie Info| Showtimes & Tickets

Perhaps Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows should have been a trilogy. Splitting the sprawling finale to author J.K. Rowling’s boy wizard saga into three parts — as opposed to its chosen two-part incarnation — might have come across as shameless profiteering (admittedly, a not-uncommon practice in this town), but it wouldn’t have been without merit. At 759 pages, Rowling’s source novel is said to be a rather dense work, plot-wise; surely it could have easily warranted another installment?

I only say this because Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1, though certainly a decent film, clearly strains from the effort required to fit the book’s proceedings into a two-act structure. While Part 2, slated to open approximately six months from now, is alotted the story's meaty parts — namely, the spectacular Battle of Hogwarts and its emotional denouement — Part 1 must bear the burden of setting the stage for the grand confrontation between the forces of Light and Dark magic and framing the predicament of its three protagonists, teen wizards Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint), in suitably dire terms. And it's quite a heavy burden indeed.

As the film opens, the evil Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes), having assumed control over Hogwarts since the events of the preceding film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, has wasted no time in initiating his reign of terror. As far as historical evil-dictator analogues are concerned, Voldemort appears partial to the blueprint laid by Stalin as opposed to that of his genocidal pact-pal, Hitler. Enemies of the Dark Lord's regime are prosecuted in dramatic show trials, presided over by the Grand Inquisitor, Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton), while muggles (non-magic folk) and half-bloods are denounced as "undesirables" and “mudbloods” in Soviet-style propaganda posters and forced to register with the authorities.

As the only viable threat to Voldemort’s dominion, Harry and his allies are hunted vigorously by Bellatrix LeStrange (Helena Bonham Carter), and her goon squad of Death Eaters. The Boy Who Lived, now fully grown and in more or less complete command of his powers, is still no match England's nasally scourge. Labeled "Undesirable No. 1" by the Gestapo-like Ministry of Magic, he's is forced to go on the lam, where he labors, along with Ron and Hermione, to solve the riddle of Voldemort’s immortality.

For those not well-versed in Rowling’s source material, the film’s opening act is a frustrating blur: After an all-too-brisk update on the bleak state of affairs in Hogwarts, we are hastily introduced (or re-introduced) to a dozen or so characters, the majority of whom are never seen again. A few even perish off-screen. Had we gotten a chance to get to know them, we might be able to mourn them as our heroes do; instead, we’re left racking our brains trying to recall who they were, and how they figured in the plot.

Rowling's flaws as a storyteller — the over-reliance on deus ex machina devices (in this case, we get both a doe ex machina and a Dobby ex machina), the ponderous downloads of information (not unlike those of that other uber-anticipated and somewhat overrated 2010 tentpole, Inception), the annoying ability of characters to simply teleport (or "disapparate") away from danger, etc. — are more evident in this film than in previous chapters. And rather than obscure these flaws, director David Yates and screenwriter Steve Kloves, both franchise veterans, arguably amplify them.

What saves the film are Rowling's three greatest achievements: Harry, Ron, and Hermione, who, along with the actors who play them, have evolved beyond the material. The film's narrative gains its emotional footing during the heroic threesome's exile, ostensibly a series of camping trips — with tents and everything — during which they reflect on their journey together, the challenge that awaits them and the sacrifices it will require. Though they occasionally verge on tedious, these excursions into Gethsemane allow us precious quality time with these characters that we've grown to adore over the course of seven films, even if the plaintive air is spoiled a bit by some rather puzzling attempts at product placement. In their rush to flee the Dementors and Death Eaters, it seems that they at least took care to pack the latest in fall fashion:

'Unstoppable'
Denzel can stop a speeding train, but can he stop a frantic Tony Scott?

Trailer| Photos| Movie Info| Showtimes & Tickets

If the railway thriller Unstoppable looks familiar, it’s only because its director, Tony Scott, and star, Denzel Washington, partnered just over a year ago on another railway thriller, The Taking of Pelham 123. In Unstoppable, the train is granted a bigger slice of the narrative pie than it received in Pelham, serving not only as the film’s principal setting but also its primary villain. Stocked with a payload of dangerous chemicals, Train 777 (that’s one more evil than 666!) hurtles, unmanned, towards a calamitous rendezvous with the helpless residents of Stanton, Pennsylvania. Surely an upgrade over a hammy John Travolta, no?

On whom can we depend to put a stop to this massive killing machine, this “missile the size of the Chrysler Building,” in the ominous words of Rosario Dawson’s station dispatcher? Not the entry-level clods (Ethan Suplee and T.J. Miller) whose ineptitude originally set the train on its fateful path. (In a chilling testament to the potential dangers posed by the obesity epidemic, a chunky Suplee runs to catch up with the coasting train in the hopes of triggering its emergency brake before it leaves the station, only to collapse in a wheezing heap, unsuccessful.) Certainly not their supervisor (Kevin Dunn), a middle-management goon more concerned with impressing his corporate superiors than ensuring proper rail safety. And most definitely not the parent company’s feckless, golf-playing (the nerve!) CEO, whose disaster-containment strategy is dictated purely by stock price.

No, sooner or later, the burden of heroism must fall on the capable shoulders of our man Denzel. As Frank Barnes, a resolutely competent locomotive engineer on a routine training assignment with a reluctant apprentice (Chris Pine, unshaven), he emerges as the only force capable of preventing the Train of Doom from reaching its grisly destination. Of course, in any train-related emergency such as the one depicted in Unstoppable, a litany of things must go wrong before the task of averting disaster becomes the sole responsibility of the engineer of another train. And screenwriter Mark Bomback (Live Free or Die Hard), trooper that he is, takes care to cycle through every single one of them, lest we question the believability of such a scenario. Because believability is so important in films like this.

Denzel’s most formidable foe in Unstoppable, it turns out, is his own director. As an alleged “old-school” filmmaker, Tony Scott largely eschews the usage of CGI, but he embraces almost every other fashionable action-movie gimmick, occasionally to nauseating effect. When the camera isn’t jostling about or zooming in and out jarringly, it’s wheeling at breakneck speed across a dolly track; countless circling shots of key dialogue exchanges give the impression that we’re eavesdropping on these conversations from a helicopter. No static shots are allowed, and cuts are quick and relentless, giving us nary a moment to catch our breath or recover our equilibrium.

These are the tactics of an insecure director, one with startlingly little faith in his material or his performers. As Unstoppable nears it climax, we’re invested in the action not because of the incessant play-by-play of the TV reporters who’ve converged on the scene — a ploy mandated by Scott’s frantic style, which by this point has left the story teetering on incoherence — but because of our almost accidental bond with the film’s protagonists who, despite the director’s best efforts, have managed to make just enough of an imprint on our consciousness that we’d prefer they not perish in a fiery train wreck.

'Morning Glory'
Morning Glory doesn't reinvent the wheel, but takes it for a pleasant spin around town.

Trailer| Photos| Movie Info| Showtimes & Tickets

Morning Glory, like its director Roger Michell’s most notable film, Notting Hill, doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but takes it for a pleasant spin around town. He trades the grey skies of London for the skyscrapers of Manhattan with a fun if formulaic romantic comedy that boasts an impressive but underused cast, including Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton and Jeff Goldblum.

Of course, the real star of the show is Becky Fuller, the behind-the-scenes boss of fictional network IBS’ (what a name) fledgling morning show Daybreak, played by America’s newest sweetheart Rachel McAdams. She gives Becky spunk, sexiness and a strong resolve to succeed in a business that isn’t kind to new recruits. Her task is simple to grasp but hard to execute: revive the show and boost its ratings. Had she been working with Matt Lauer or Diane Sawyer, the job would’ve been easy but the film would’ve missed out on the possibilities for screwball workplace comedy.

The heartiest laughs are provided by supporting characters like Ty Burell’s Paul McVee, who is more entertaining to watch in his ten minutes of screen time than the majority of the core cast throughout the film’s 102 minute run. Not every character is meant for comic relief, though, like Ford’s growling curmudgeon Mike Pomeroy, a hard-nosed, award-winning journalist and relic of the past in a world more interested in “fluff” over facts. Pomeroy is strong-armed by Becky into Daybreak co-hosting duties because of a clause in his contract, and he does everything he can to make her life a living hell. His reluctance to cooperate is eventually undermined as a result of a “mutual understanding” between the two, but it feels unauthentic as he betrays his own ideals for a barely developed friendship.

Even more phony is the virtually useless love angle between Becky and Adam Bennett (Patrick Wilson), a fellow producer at IBS who advises her not to hire Pomeroy based on his own negative experience with the seasoned commentator. You could remove the character from the film completely without affecting the end result. Unfortunately, the same can be said for Keaton’s co-host, Colleen Peck, whose arc mirrors Ford’s but who arrives at the finish line first. It’s a shame, really, because both are fine actors who could have done a lot more with characters with a bit more depth.

Its message about the sad state of American media aside, depth isn’t what Morning Glory is about. This is a cheery comedy with a few chuckles and plenty of charm. Sure, it’s silly, but it’s definitely not stupid and doesn’t get overly sentimental. The script, courtesy of The Devil Wears Prada scribe Aline Brosh McKenna, is sharp enough to entertain if you don’t think too hard about it. It may not be the most memorable movie you’ll see this winter, but it’ll surely bring a smile to your face.

'Due Date'
Downey and Galifianakis mine big laughs from a well-worn premise in this rollicking road-trip comedy.

Trailer| Photos| Movie Info| Showtimes & Tickets

In his new film Due Date, director Todd Phillips (Old School, The Hangover) stages a rather audacious cinematic experiment, placing two enormously talented actors, Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis, on a mostly deserted island, handing them an assortment of blunt and broken tools, and charging them with constructing a free-standing, fully-functioning Hollywood comedy.

To his credit, Phillips was at least considerate enough to supply his comic Crusoes with a detailed blueprint. An odd-couple/road trip movie hybrid, Due Date unapologetically mimics Planes, Trains and Automobiles, one of the John Hughes' rare “grown-up” comedies, in which Steve Martin starred as a straightlaced family man forced to travel cross-country with a gratingly affable slob, played by John Candy, in order to make it home for Thanksgiving. (Surely there have been other such films before and since, but Hughes’ work is the one Due Date most vividly recalls.)

The film’s script, co-written by Phillips and Adam Sztykiel, adds a handful of 21st-century twists to the formula: A baggage snafu while boarding an airplane leads Peter Highman (Downey), a type-A architect with a history of anger-management issues, into a confrontation with a Federal Air Marshal that subsequently lands him on Homeland Security’s no-fly list. Stranded without reliable transport, lacking the means by which to procure any (he left his wallet on the plane), and desperate to be reunited in L.A. with his pregnant wife (Michelle Monaghan) in time for her scheduled c-section, he reluctantly agrees to hitch a ride with the same tubby schmuck, Ethan (Galifianakis), who moments earlier was the catalyst of his security debacle.

The unlikely travel companions embark on a calamitous road trip from Atlanta to L.A., during which Ethan proves to be something of a disaster magnet, with Peter bearing the brunt of the damage that occurs. Their navigator, Phillips, lazily guides them through an uneven obstacle course of comic scenarios, some of which are embarrassingly predictable (Ethan stores his beloved father’s ashes in a coffee can, and they’re later accidentally used to make coffee!), all of which are designed to showcase Downey’s caustic wit and Galifianakis’ sublime daffiness.

Few actors today deliver choice insults better than Downey, and even fewer absorb them better than Galifianakis. They make for a truly marvelous collision of opposites, and their interplay is what elevates Due Date above its often puzzlingly flat material. (That, along with Galifianakis’ gift for physical comedy; no actor outside of the Jackass crew can better sell a collision with a car door.) The film's supporting cast, meanwhile, criminally underachieves. Conspicuous cameos from the likes of Danny McBride, Juliette Lewis, and Jamie Foxx are either unfunny, unnecessary, or both. On this road trip, they’re little more than baggage. Thankfully, Downey and Galifianakis are more than capable of shouldering the burden.

'RED'
An amusing action-movie romp, 'RED' features a stellar ensemble which more than makes up for its director's deficiencies.

Trailer| Photos| Movie Info| Showtimes & Tickets

RED, an entertaining if uneven action comedy directed by Robert Schwentke (The Time-Traveler's Wife) and based on a graphic novel by Warren Ellis, could be called Grumpy Old Spies, but that would be a tad inaccurate. (But damn if it isn't convenient!) The title is an acronym for Retired, Extremely Dangerous, a label applied in the film to former CIA agents Frank (Bruce Willis), Joe (Morgan Freeman), and Marvin (John Malkovich), and ex-MI6er Victoria (Helen Mirren), all of whom have officially retired from the espionage industry. Truth be told, only one of them, Marvin, appears particularly grumpy, and only because he was apparently fed massive doses of paranoia-inducing LSD by his employers back in the ‘60s. And involuntary brain-scrambling does have a tendency to breed bitterness.

Elders Joe and Victoria, for their part, are living out their golden years quite contentedly: he’s happy to spend his days ogling the female attendants at his nursing home, while she keeps busy with the occasional freelance assassination. Only Frank, the youngest member of their ranks, seems ill-at-ease with life after the Agency. Which is why he doesn’t look altogether perturbed when he discovers that he’s been turned into a target, framed for a bloody South American debacle that he'd helped clean up in the ‘80s. After calmly dispatching a dozen or so heavily-armed government goons sent to eliminate him, Frank sets about getting the gang back together and heading to D.C. to foil the conspiracy and clear his name. Along the way, he snatches up Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker), a chatty customer service rep/love interest whose life he inadvertently endangered when he revealed too much during one of their flirty phone conversations.

RED’s “badass old people” conceit isn’t entirely original, but with a cast this impressive it hardly matters. Parker, the lowest-billed member of the main ensemble, is the unsung hero of the film. Though her romantic subplot with Willis is never truly convincing, her brand of witty bewilderment is RED’s most endearing aspect, followed closely by the delightful presence of Malkovich, hitting his comic peak in the “crotchety crank” stage of his career. As a director, Schwentke’s action-movie sensibilities are a bit crude -- his favorite move is to simply crank up the volume and shower the screen with bullets -- but his comedic instincts are spot-on. And luckily for him, the foibles of RED’s punchy but unimaginative script, which too often goes from amusingly preposterous (Dame Helen Mirren with a machine gun!) to stupidly preposterous (its convoluted plot involves a war criminal-turned-Vice President and his defense-contractor puppetmaster), are redeemed by its venerable cast.

how to impress a girl even if you are unattractive?

2010-12-12T01:54:00.000-08:00

What is the difference between you and them? This is the question that must be haunting you when you are trying to impress girls, despite not being unattractive. The problem with most people who think themselves unattractive is that they are attractive. They might not exactly be "prince charming", but this does not imply that they are not good to look at. They push themselves into a self created shell of despair and think that they are not suitable or attractive enough to woo her...

Remove your mental block: The first and the most important step is to remove your mental block. If the thought, that you are not attractive enough, keeps on pegging at the back of your subconscious mind, it will be very tough, at times impossible, to impress girls of your choice. Convince yourself that you are good enough as the others. Do not worry
if it takes time and seems tough. Just remember that it is not impossible.

What impresses her: You have to find out what things she likes the most in males since those are the things that will impress her the most. Again these things are not tough and most women demand that their men me presentable and worthy of her. She would like you to show you off to her friends and family at a later stage, so keep yourself presentable. Nobody likes a uncouth and uncultured person.

Gifts & chocolates: There are few women who do not like being showered by gifts so watch out for a suitable opportunity and shower her with some gifts. It need not be expensive and sometimes even a chocolate or a bunch of flowers work wonders. The feelings of the person behind the gift are more important than the gift itself.

What you are about to discover something most men will never know when it comes to attracting women. This is one thing which is an absolute must know for every man out there. You are about to discover an ultimate secret weapon which will make women chase you around like crazy Even If You Are Bald, Fat Or Ugly!.....Trust me....You don't want to miss this one. I strongly urge you to read everything on the next page because it might be the most important message you ever read- follow the link to watch ultra rare secret .....http://videodating.girlmagnet66.com/
