Eminem biography. (marshall mathers).

The following biographies aren’t written by me, but I just think it’s my duty to share the greatness of this musician, no rapper. Eminem sings about his life, the drama, the controversies, the suicide attempts and all those moments of depression. He raps his life and his memories. Hailey, his daughter is one of those main characters in his songs. “the real slim shady” character is a typical Eminem.

Eminem, born Marshall Bruce Mathers III, 17 October 1973, Kansas City, Missouri, USA. This white rapper burst onto the US charts in 1999 with a controversial take on the horrorcore genre. Mathers endured an itinerant childhood, living with his mother in various states before eventually ending up in Detroit at the age of 12. He took up rapping in high school before dropping out in ninth grade, joining ad hoc groups Basement Productions, the New Jacks, and D12. The newly named Eminem released a raw debut album in 1997 through independent label FBT. Infinite was poorly received, however, with Eminem earning unfavourable comparisons to leading rappers such as Nas and AZ. His determination to succeed was given a boost by a prominent feature in Source's Unsigned Hype column, and he gained revenge on his former critics when he won the Wake Up Show's Freestyle Performer Of The Year award, and finished runner-up in Los Angeles' annual Rap Olympics. The following year's The Slim Shady EP, named after his sinister alter-ego, featured some vitriolic attacks on his detractors. The stand-out track, "Just Don't Give A fuck", became a highly popular underground hit, and led to guest appearances on MC Shabaam Sahddeq's "Five Star Generals" single and Kid Rock's Devil Without A Cause set. As a result, Eminem was signed to Aftermath Records by label boss Dr. Dre, who adopted the young rapper as his protege and acted as co-producer on Eminem's full-length debut. Dre's beats featured prominently on The Slim Shady LP, a provocative feast of violent, twisted lyrics, with a moral outlook partially redeemed by Eminem's claim to be only "voicing" the thoughts of the Slim Shady character. Parody or no parody, lyrics to tracks such as "97 Bonnie & Clyde" (which contained lines about killing the mother of his child) and frequent verbal outbursts about his mother were held by many, outside even the usual Christian moral majority, to be deeply irresponsible. The album was buoyed by the commercial success of the singles "My Name Is" and "Guilty Conscience" (the former helped by a striking, MTV-friendly video), and climbed to number 2 on the US album chart in March 1999.

Eminem subsequently made high profile appearances on Rawkus Records' Soundbombing Volume 2 compilation and Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott's Da Real World. He was also in the news when his mother filed a lawsuit claiming that comments made by the rapper during interviews and on The Slim Shady LP had caused, amongst other things, emotional distress, damage to her reputation and loss of self-esteem. None of which harmed the sales of Eminem's follow-up album, The Marshall Mathers LP, which debuted at number 1 on the US album chart in May 2000 and established him as the most successful rapper since the mid-90s heyday of 2Pac and Snoop Doggy Dogg. By the end of the year, however, his troubled personal life and a serious assault charge had removed the gloss from his phenomenal commercial success. Despite criticism from gay rights groups, the rapper swept up three Grammy Awards the following February. He also reunited with his D12 colleagues to record the transatlantic chart-topping Devil's Night.

Eminem's new studio album, The Eminem Show, was premiered by single "Without Me". The track, which debuted at UK number 1 in May 2002, featured a sample from Malcolm McLaren's "Buffalo Girls" and was supported by a controversial video which saw the rapper dressing up as Osama Bin Laden. The album debuted at number 1 on both sides of the Atlantic. Later in the year, Eminem made his mainstream acting debut in 8 Mile. The lead single from the soundtrack, "Lose Yourself", gave the rapper his first US number 1 single in November.

Eminem Biography 2

Although he's only been in the public eye since 1999, Marshall Mathers (aka Eminem) has crammed at least a decade's worth of career highs and lows into those few short, high-profile years. The Detroit-based Dr. Dre prot�g� has invoked the wrath of women and homosexuals with his offensive lyrics; become enemies with Moby, Everlast, Fred Durst, and Christina Aguilera; provided tabloids with plenty of gossip fodder regarding his personal life...and in the process become just about the biggest rock star on the planet. This is because Eminem isn't just about controversy and shock value: This often misunderstood major talent has actually given white rappers genuine credibility in this post-Vanilla Ice age with his string of dynamic hits (both solo and with his side group, D12), his plethora of Grammy nominations, his critically acclaimed film 8 Mile, and his three multiplatinum studio albums, which--once one gets past the hype and hullabaloo that surround them--are some of the most creative, original, and exciting releases of the rap genre (or any musical genre) in the past decade.

Mathers was born into a poor, working-class family on October 17, 1972 in St. Joseph, Missouri, though he spent much of his youth in Detroit, the city he would eventually put on the rap map. Originally taking on the stage name M&M (later changed to its current spelling), at age 14 he became a battle rapper, competing against other Detroit MCs in local clubs. After a short stint with a rap act called New Jacks, in 1995 he made his recording debut with a group called Soul Intent, which introduced him to a rapper named Proof, who appeared on that single's B-side. Eminem and Proof soon started a new group called D12 with four other MCs (Bizarre, Kon Artis, Swift, and Kuniva), while Eminem simultaneously launched his solo career with two independent releases, 1996's Infinite and 1997's The Slim Shady EP, which featured his trademark dark, disturbing, angry lyrics. Eminem drew from his troubled personal life when penning such bleak words: He had just had a daughter with his on/off girlfriend, Kim, with whom he had a very tumultuous relationship; he was estranged from his mother, with whom he also frequently butted heads; he was abusing alcohol and drugs with alarming frequency; and he had attempted suicide on at least one occasion. Though these harrowing experiences provided inspiration for some brilliant if nasty and offensive lyrics, Mathers was at such a low point in his life that it seemed there was nowhere to go but up.

Enter Interscope Records honcho Jimmy Iovine, who--impressed by Eminem's fresh and bold style--approached the struggling rapper after seeing him take second place in the freestyle category at 1997's Rap Olympics. Iovine later played Eminem's demo tape for super-producer and former Death Row Records chief/NWA member Dr. Dre, who immediately liked what he heard, contacted Eminem, and started a fruitful creative partnership with Eminem that exists to this day. (Legend has it that the two recorded Eminem's first big hit single, "My Name Is," within an hour after first meeting each other.) Interscope quickly signed Mathers, and Dre produced his major-label debut album, The Slim Shady LP, which was released in February 1999 to both massive acclaim and derision, eventually going triple-platinum.

Eminem's follow-up, 2000's Marshall Mathers LP, was an even bigger phenomenon, selling almost 2 million copies in its first week of release alone, thus becoming the fastest-selling hip-hop album of all time. However, the album stirred up even more of an uproar than its predecessor, making Mathers the target of much public hatred. Among other conflicts and controversies, the album created a feud with pop princess Christina Aguilera (the single "The Real Slim Shady" alleged that she had performed oral sex on both Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst and MTV's Carson Daly); led his mother to file a defamation lawsuit against him (a judge later dismissed the case); and generated accusations of homophobia and sexism mostly centering around the songs "Kill You" and "Kim" (the latter a rant about the mother of his child, whom he had recently married but would soon divorce, and later reconcile with yet again). But Eminem thrived on the controversy, becoming an even bigger superstar and racking up a surprising number of Grammy nominations in 2001, much to the chagrin of his many outspoken detractors. And he kept people guessing about how much of the Slim Shady "character" was really the real deal, when he performed a duet version of his single "Stan" with the openly gay Elton John at the Grammys ceremony, even warmly hugging Elton onstage. Mathers won three Grammys that night--Best Rap Solo Performance (for "The Real Slim Shady"), Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group (for his work on the Dr. Dre duet "Forgot About Dre"), and Best Rap Album (for The Marshall Mathers LP)--adding to the two statuettes he'd won the previous year for "My Name Is" (Best Rap Solo Performance) and The Slim Shady LP (Best Rap Album).

There seemed no stopping Eminem--not even convictions on weapons and assault charges (stemming from separate incidents involving his estranged wife with another man and rival Detroit rap act Insane Clown Posse). Eminem was sentenced to community service and kept on recording, releasing Devil's Night with old group D12 in 2001 and then The Eminem Show, one of the most critically heralded albums of 2002 and his most personal work yet. He also revealed more of his real-life persona in 8 Mile, a Rocky-style feelgood flick lensed by L.A. Confidential/Wonder Boys director Curtis Hanson that presented a sort of cleaned-up version of Eminem's rags-to-riches life story. Eminem put on such an impressive performance in the film that there was actually speculation that he would receive a Best Actor nomination at the Oscars in 2003.

While Eminem may have seemed like a novelty act at first--with his shocking, four-letter lyrics, cartoonish bad-boy image, and, of course, pale skin color (a real anomaly in hip-hop)--he has since established himself as one of the most important artists of his time and a true force to be reckoned with, continuing to cross both color boundaries and genre boundaries with his edgy, rock-tinged raps. With his turbulent personal life, powder-keg temper, and tendency to tangle with the law, it is still uncertain how long his career will last before he burns out, but it's already obvious that his music had made history and will long outlast any controversy that dogs him.

Eminem Biography 3

In a few short months, Eminem has gone from being one of the most heralded emcees in independent hip-hop to one of the most provocative, controversial rappers in contemporary pop music. The overnight success of his debut album, The Slim Shady LP, literally rocked the rap world, making him one of the biggest music success stories of 1999. But Eminem is more than the latest rap artist to blow up. He's spent the last several years paying his dues, and his lyrics, which cover topics such as poverty and single parenthood, reflect a rough upbringing. His unlikely acceptance by the pop mainstream has made some wonder how his popularity will affect the future of hip-hop music.

Before he had the world singing along to "My Name Is �," he was Marshall Mathers, a poor kid growing up in Warren, Mich. "It's like the real, stereotypical, trailer park, white trash," Eminem told Rap Pages earlier this year. As a child, he and his mother moved constantly, staying at relatives' homes in places as disparate as Warren and Kansas City, Mo. As a result, Marshall found it difficult to make friends, and he retreated into his comic books and television. "I didn't really start opening up until eighth grade, going into ninth," he said.

When Mathers was 12, his mother finally settled down on the east side of Detroit. There, he attended Lincoln Junior High School and Osbourne High School, hanging out with friends and listening to artists like LL Cool J and the 2 Live Crew. He battled against other rappers at his high school, and quickly gained a reputation as a nimble rhymer. But his penchant for skipping school led him to fail the ninth grade. After dropping out of high school, he held down several odd jobs, while continuing to work on his craft. "I tried to go back to school five years ago," he said, "but I couldn't do it. I just wanted to rap and be a star one day."

Mathers rapped in several groups such as Basement Productions, the New Jacks, and Sole Intent, before deciding to go solo. In 1997, he released an album, Infinite, through a local company called FBT Productions; it was met with derision from the local hip-hop community. "I was getting a lot of feedback saying I sounded like Nas or Jay-Z," he admitted. Despite the criticism, Eminem continued to promote himself through shows and appearances at radio stations and freestyle competitions across the nation. His perseverance garnered him a notice in the Source's influential "Unsigned Hype" column. Later that year, he won the 1997 Wake Up Show Freestyle Performer of the Year from L.A. DJs Sway and Tech, and earned second place in Rap Sheet magazine's "Rap Olympics," an annual freestyle rap competition.

In 1998, Eminem put out The Slim Shady EP, which contained the original version of "Just Don't Give A �" "Slim Shady is the evil side of me, the sarcastic, foul-mouthed side of me," he said during an interview with the Source. The EP made him an underground star, and Eminem was invited to appear on underground MC Shabaam Sahdeeq's "Five Star Generals" single, Kid Rock's Devil Without a Cause, and other rap releases. At the end of the year, Eminem put out a popular 12-inch, "Nuttin' to Do/ Scary Movies," with fellow Detroit rapper Royce the 5'9".

Meanwhile, a copy of The Slim Shady EP made its way into the hands of Dr. Dre, the legendary creator of The Chronic and N.W.A., and current president of Aftermath Entertainment. Dr. Dre quickly signed Eminem to his label, and the two began preparing The Slim Shady EP for a full-fledged release, adding songs like "My Name Is �" and "Guity Conscience." Early in 1999, Eminem made the world take notice with his charismatic video for "My Name Is �" parodying everyone from Marilyn Manson to the President of the United States. Shortly afterward, The Slim Shady LP debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Album Chart. Its sensationalistic depiction of rampant drug use, rape, sex, and violence horrified some; equally disturbing was Eminem's various four-letter-word insults directed at his mother and songs like "'97 Bonnie and Clyde," where Eminem fantasized about killing the mother of his child.

In defense, Eminem claimed that he was just speaking his mind. "I do feel like I'm coming from a standpoint where people don't realize there are a lot of poor white people," he explained in the Source. "Rap music kept my mind off all the bulls--t I had to go through." His cynical take on life struck a chord with millions of rap fans, and drove The Slim Shady LP to double-platinum-plus sales. He began to tour, including a solo jaunt with the Beatnuts and Mixmaster Mike.

While most in the hip-hop community greeted Eminem with open arms, others took a more cautious approach, wondering why rock stations across the country who never played rap music added "My Name Is �" to their playlists. Was it because Eminem was the first "legitimate" white rapper to gain widespread popularity? "I'm white in a music started by black people. I'm not ignorant to the culture and I'm not trying to take anything away from the culture," he said in his defense. "But no one has a choice where they grew up or what color they are. If you're a rich kid or a ghetto kid you have no control over your circumstance. The only control you have is to get out of your situation or stay in it."

Throughout the year, Eminem has continued to record for other artists, making appearances on Sway and Tech's This or That compilation, DJ Spinna's Heavy Beats Vol. 1, Missy Elliott's Da Real World, the Soundbombing 2 compilation, and Dr. Dre's highly anticipated sequel to The Chronic, Chronic 2001: No Seeds. And in June and July of 1999, the rapper took to the road with the Warped tour, filling in for Cypress Hill, who decided to forgo the tour in favor of recording its next album.

After wrapping up his touring commitments, Eminem plans to take a short break before returning to the studio to record the follow up to The Slim Shady LP. In the meantime, he can bask in the glow of his many awards. Not only is he up for Best New Artist in the Source's Hip-Hop Music Awards, he also garnered four MTV Video Music Awards � "My Name Is �" nabbed nods for Best Male Video, Best New Artist, and Best Director, and "Guilty Conscience" earned him a Breakthrough Video nomination.

Eminem Biography 4

The average rapper wouldn't be able to grace the pages of Rap Pages, VIBE, Rolling Stone, Spin, The Source, URB and Stress and go on a national tour months before their major-label debut album is released. Then again, Eminem isn't an average rapper. He's phenomenal.

The impending release of the The Slim Shady LP, his first set on Aftermath/Interscope Records, already has underground hip-hop heads fiending for Eminem. Chock full of dazzling lyrical escapades that delve into the mind of a violently warped and vulgar yet extremely talented wordsmith, the 14-cut collection contains some of the most memorable and demented lyrics ever recorded.

For Eminem, his potentially controversial and undoubtedly offensive songs will strike a chord with a multitude of hip-hop loyalists who believe they have little to lose and everything to gain.

"I'm not alone in feeling the way I feel," he says. "I believe that a lot of people can relate to my shit--whether white, black, it doesn't matter. Everybody has been through some shit, whether it's drastic or not so drastic. Everybody gets to the point of 'I don't give a fuck.'"

Those words are more than just a slogan for the Detroit resident. "I Just Don't Give A Fuck" and "Brain Damage" are the two songs comprising Eminem's initial single from The Slim Shady LP. Each tune is sure to paralyze meek listeners with their relentless lyrical assault. Produced primarily by long-time collaborators FBT Productions, the Slim Shady LP also features beatwork from Aftermath CEO Dr. Dre. The N.W.A. alum handled beats for "My Name Is" (the second single), "Guilty Conscience" and "Role Model."

Dr. Dre was so impressed after hearing Eminem freestyling on a Los Angeles radio station that he put out a manhunt for the Michigan rhymer. Shortly thereafter, Dre signed Eminem to his Aftermath imprint and the two began working together. Thoroughly impressed with Eminem's previously released independent Slim Shady EP, Dre said they would include many of the EP's tracks on the album.

"It was an honor to hear the words out of Dre's mouth that he liked my shit," Eminem says. "Growing up, I was one of the biggest fans of N.W.A, from putting on the sunglasses and looking in the mirror and lipsinking to wanting to be Dr. Dre, to be Ice Cube. This is the biggest hip-hop producer ever."

But like many other rappers, Eminem's rise to stardom was far from easy. After being born in Kansas City and traveling back and forth between KC and the Detroit metropolitan area, Eminem and his mother moved into the Eastside of Detroit when he was 12. Switching schools every two to three months made it difficult to make friends, graduate and to stay out of trouble.

Rap, however, became Eminem's solace. Battling schoolmates in the lunchroom brought joy to what was otherwise a painful existence. Although he would later drop out of school and land several minimum-wage-paying, full-time jobs, his musical focus remained constant.

Eminem released his debut album, Infinite, in 1996. Desperate to be embraced by the Motor City's hip-hop scene, Eminem rapped in such a manner that he was accused of sounding like Nas and AZ.

"Infinite was me trying to figure out how I wanted my rap style to be, how I wanted to sound on the mic and present myself," he recalls. "It was a growing stage. I felt like Infinite was like a demo that just got pressed up."

After being thoroughly disappointed and hurt by the response Infinite received, Eminem began working on what would later become the Slim Shady EP -- a project he made for himself. Featuring several scathing lines about local music industry personalities as well as devious rants about life in general, the set quickly caught the ear of hip-hop's difficult-to-please underground.

"I had nothing to lose, but something to gain," Eminem says of that point in his life. "If I made an album for me and it was to my satisfaction, then I succeeded. If I didn't, then my producers were going to give up on the whole rap thing we were doing. I made some shit that I wanted to hear. The Slim Shady EP, I lashed out on everybody who talked shit about me."

By presenting himself as himself, Eminem and his career took off. Soon after giving the Rap Coalition's Wendy Day a copy of the Infinite album at a chance meeting, she helped the aspiring lyrical gymnast secure a spot at the Coalition�s 1997 Rap Olympics in Los Angeles, where he won second place in the freestyle competition. During the trip, Eminem and his manager, Paul Rosenberg, gave a few people from Interscope Records his demo and he made his major radio debut on the world famous Wake Up Show with Sway and Tech. Realizing that this was the opportunity of his lifetime, Eminem delivered a furious medley of lyrics that wowed his hosts and radio audience alike.

"I felt like it's my time to shine," Eminem says of that performance. "I have to rip this. At that time, I felt that it was a life or death situation."

Eminem would soon record the underground classic "5 Star Generals." This record helped establish him in Japan, New York and Los Angeles. It also helped him earn a spot on the inaugural Lyricist Lounge tour, which took him to stages from Philadelphia to Los Angeles.

Set to take the hip-hop world by storm with his unique lyrical approach and punishing production, Eminem and his The Slim Shady LP are sure to have listeners captivated.

"I do say things that I think will shock people," he says. "But I don't do things to shock people. I'm not trying to be the next Tupac, but I don't know how long I'm going to be on this planet. So while I'm here, I might as well make the most of it."

Eminem Biography 5

Who would have guessed that a white boy from Michigan would be the one to move today's jaded hip-hop world? Without any warning, Eminem burst onto the rap scene spouting more vulgarity than ever with his first 14-cut collection, The Slim Shady LP, distributed by Aftermath/Interscope Records. "I Just Don't Give a F--k," the signature piece on his demented album, and "Brain Damage," which literally did just that to listeners, are the two most notable songs exhibiting for his dirty mouth. So good, in fact, that legendary rap artist/producer Dr. Dre scouted the angry chirpster after hearing him freestyle on the radio to collaborate on Dre's own label, Aftermath. The impressed Dre did not hesitate to include many of Slim's independently released EP tracks as Eminem jumped at the offer to work with "the biggest hip-hop producer ever."

As randomly offensive as his lyrics may seem, Eminem has mastered his talent into a form of reclaiming his pride. He spent his childhood roaming from his birthplace, Kansas City, to Detroit with his mother, never being able to find a stable hometown and school. Hence he pursued a life and identity in the hip-hop culture by releasing a debut album, Infinite, in 1996. Ironically, the response to his debut stifled his self-expression as he was labelled as a Nas and AZ sound-alike. Ripe for revenge, Eminem bombarded his critics with The Slim Shady EP, which not only gave the rapper a chance at originality but also at stirring controversy with his remorseless tunes of fury.

Yet it would do him no justice to dismiss him as a spiteful cursing machine. His fascinating freestyle ability is easy to underestimate or even recognize with the scorching flames blowing out of his mouth. At the start of his rap career, Eminem personally sent a copy of his overlooked debut album to Wendy Day from the Rap Coalition. Her nod of approval got him into the Coalition's 1997 Rap Olympics in Los Angeles, where he was honoured with second place in the freestyle competition. With the help of his manager, Paul Rosenberg, Interscope Records got a hold of his demo. Finally Eminem decided that it was his "time to shine" on his radio debut on the world-famous Wake Up Show with Sway and Tech by spewing a most ferocious lyrical mix that literally slapped the faces of the hosts and listeners wide awake. His underground classic "5 Star General" stretched out to Japan, New York, and Los Angeles, which also won him a spot on the inaugural Lyricist Lounge tour.

Before long, Eminem was a superstar and one of music's most controversial figures. His shocking lyrics (both solo and with side posse D12), his duet with Elton John, his public trials with his on/off wife and estranged mother...all of these things and more kept him in the public eye so often, he made Tommy Lee look like a social recluse. But Eminem's music kept his profile high too, as his Slim Shady and Marshall Mathers LPs sold by the millions; the latter was even nominated for several Grammys, including album of the year.

In the age of bored and hungry hip-hopsters, Eminem, with his fiery eyes and blazing lyrics, has broken into the rap and hip-hop dome by melting the image of the sold-out Vanilla Ice. You may hate his anger, but it's his only ammunition, and as long he is who he is, Eminem is going to take nothing back.

Earning money through the internet.

Nowadays, a lot of people try to earn money through the internet, and let me tell you this, you can’t earn money by filling up surveys, clicking on ads and watching videos. The best way of earning money through the internet is through “pay-per-clicks” earning programs. And one of the best of such programs is the “google adsense” program

How it works?

A lot of companies and services advertise through the internet, so what they need is a platform to advertise on, the more the sites they can advertise, the better. These companies go to internet ad programs like Google adsense. The people with an adsense account have their own sites or blogs, Google provide ads suitable for the content on their blogs, when a viewer views the blog, he also sees the advertisements by Google. If the viewer clicks on the ad, the blogger gets paid a dollar.

In the Google adsense program, you get paid a dollar a click, there are many other programs like adbrite, bidvertise, etc.

This method of earning money is reasonable as you get paid only when a viewer clicks on the advertisement, this means that the viewer has seen the company and its site. These days people spent millions on advertising, and what better way is there, than doing it on the internet and paying only if the viewer sees the ad.

HOW is a volcano formed?

2012-03-22T07:39:00.000-07:00

How is a volcano formed?

A volcano is a special kind of mountain that actually builds itself. Scientists think that far down in the Earth, where it is fiercely hot, there are pockets of melted rock. It is thought that the pressure of gas pushes this melted rock, called magma, up out of the ground. Once magma comes out of the ground it is known as lava. Lava may be thick like syrup or thin as watery soup, but it cools into a black, gritty rock. It is this rock that builds the volcano. As the lava pours out of the earth, it piles up into the shape of a cone, with a tunnel running down its middle. The more lava that comes out, the higher and wider the volcano gets. Volcanoes can erupt in different ways. One kind shoots a stream of glowing lava high into the air, like a giant, fiery fountain. Another shoots out solid chunks of red-hot rock and cinders. Some volcanoes pour rivers of lava through cracks in their sides. And some blow themselves to pieces.

HOW do birds fly?

2012-03-22T07:32:00.001-07:00

How do birds fly?

Airplanes can fly because their wings are shaped like a bird’s wings. A bird’s wing is curved on top and flat or slightly curved on the bottom. When a wing shaped in the way moves rapidly forward, air flows faster over the curved the curved top surface than over the flatter bottom surface. The faster airflow reduces the air pressure above the wing. Air in a high-pressure area always moves toward a low pressure area. He air beneath the wing thus moves toward the area of lower pressure above the wing and pushes the wing upward. This upward force, which is called lift, enables birds and airplanes to overcome gravity, rise into the air, and remain airborne.

Birds launch themselves into air by using their leg muscles to push against a perch or to jump from the ground. At the same time, they start flapping their wings. The tips of the bird’s wings not only flap up and down but also twist forward on the down stroke. This twisting motion propels the bird forward. The rest of the wing remains level in relation to the flow of air and so provides lift.

After take-off some birds continue to fly mainly by flapping their wings. Others combine flapping flight with gilding or soaring. In gliding, birds keep their wings extended and coast downward through the air, using little energy. In soaring, birds use the energy of air movements to propel themselves without having to flap their wings. They may use wind, heated rising air called thermals, or the lift of air along a cold front.

The majority of small birds depend on flapping flight. In most cases, their cruising speed averages 30 to 55 kilometers per hour (kph). Most fast filters are large birds with long pointed wings. The peregrine falcon has been clocked from an airplane at speeds of up to 290 kph while diving. Most soaring birds are large sea birds that have long pointed wings. Such words include albatrosses, frigate birds, gulls, ospreys have been clocked soaring at speeds of up to 129 kph. Soaring land brings include buzzards and vultures. Unlike the sea soarers, these land birds have relatively broad, rounded wings. Many wildfowl, such as pheasants and quail, also have broad, rounded wings. But their wing features are particularly stiff. Birds with such wings can take off suddenly and fly at high speeds for a short distance. They seldom make long flights, however. Hummingbirds, kestrels and terns can hover in flight. In addition, hummingbirds are the only birds that can fly backward.

NEED FOR SPEED. THE COOLEST!

Without doubt NFS is the world’s best racing games series ever. They’ve bin around since way back, almost in every PC systems available.

I’ve played NFS 2 way back. The gaming industry wasn’t as developed as it is today, but the game was enough to keep my younger self into it. I played multiplayer with my cousins.

Then a few years later….

I was at my cousin’s house and he was playing a racing game. I was amazed by the graphics. I got to play it and it was amazing. I wasn’t surprised to know it was a NFS game. I got it to my PC. It was the game “need for speed most wanted”, I loved it. I was more interested in the NFS thing. I stayed updated to it. Later I got my hands on other NFS GAMES LIKE, “Carbon”, “pro street”, “undercover”, “swift”, etc.

They’ve bin releasing new hot titles, but I believe, “most wanted” was one of their best games. But the graphics in the new titles are awesome and cannot be ignored. The new titles, “hot pursuit 3” and “run” have one of the graphics anyone could wish, plus new features.

But those aren’t the only stuff that made them great, there was another reason, their race games have a big advantage compared to others, first of all-its street racing, second-well, it’s against the law, that means cop-pursuit. And that’s what I like, that’s the reason NFS is who they are today. The cop pursuit really turned everyone on. It was like a new world, with chases and pursuits, evading and drifting, jumping of canyons and busting, NFS is truly one of the greatest racing games available.

I thank all the NFS crew, the EA crew I mean, for all your games and hard work. Thank you again.

MAY NFS LIVE LONG!

United Nations. a big SUCCESS!

UNITED NATIONS, A BIG SUCCESS!

if someone asks you whether the UN is really necessary, what would you say?

Let me tell you this, till now, there has not bin a world war III, who knows, if UN didn’t exist that might’ve bin different, TODAY might’ve bin different, the WORLD might’ve bin a different place entirely.

So that brings us to another question, WHAT DOES THE UN DO?

Keeping peace around the world is easier said than done, world peace wont just knock on your door and ask to come in. the UN must’ve done put years of hard work, many arguments, pleads, but in the in end, they did it, they succeeded. They’ve kept wars from exploding, missiles from being launched and stomachs from being starved. They’ve provided the poor with money, the hungry with food, the less educated with education, the sick with health. They currently have many side branches supporting humanity from different threats. UNESCO, UNICEF, WHO, are just some examples.

I take this time to thank every UN member, who, has kept this world a better place, a peace place.

MAY THIS PEACE STAY LONG.

Let’s take a look back to history, how this brilliant organization was formed.

After World War II, Italy and Japan the nations which opposed Germany decided that such a war must never take place again. Representatives of these nations met in San Francisco in April 1945 and planned out a document of peace in the world. This document was called the UN charter. The Charter has 19 chapters divided into 11 articles that explain the purpose and principles of the UN.

In June 1945, 50 nations signed and the UN Charter and on October 24, 1945 the UN was established.

top ten books!

2012-03-12T09:42:00.000-07:00

Top ten books(or a series of books) for teens and adults. Now according to my personal experiences, I prefer these:
# Artemis fowl (series) - Eoin Colfer
# Angels and demons (series) - Dan Brown
# Twilight saga (series) - Stephanie Meyer
# harry potter (series) - J.K. Rowling
# And then there were none - Agatha Christie
# The little prince - Antonio de Saint-Exupery
# The alchemist - Paulo Coelho
# The Last Don - Mario Puzo
# Percy Jackson (series) - Rick Riordon
# Ashfall - mike mullin.

Some of the titles might be a little too much for under-15-year-olds, so I prefer everyone start with artemis fowl series. Angels and demons (series), is what I believe as the best in the list. And most of all, don’t look at a look at this “entirely” as a only-for-kids list, the books will be exciting for adults too. HAVE FUN.

Book review: Artemis fowl: the time paradox. Do you get confused with time travel? Here is your remedy.

Written by “eoin colfer”, this book offers all the thrill an adult or a child could want. This book is a treat for artemis fowl fans. When we think about time travel, our mind gets confused by its theory and results. The author of the book , has perfectly combined science and fiction and as a result, artemis fowl; the time paradox is a “MASTERPIECE”.

The book explores consequences and features of time travel. Even bad, artemis fowl has to face his younger, more-evil self, to save his mother. When two titans (artemis and his younger self) meet, which one will win, and if artemis end up destroying his younger self, will he exist any longer.

Some ways to better feet!

# Let your feet breathe. Walk barefoot as often as possible to let your feet recover from the confinement of shoes.

# When out-of-doors and during leisure time wear sensible footwear: flat heeled, comfortable, open leather shoes or sandals are the best.

# Do not wear nylon stockings unless absolutely essential.

# Choose shoes with heel s less than 5cm high, and try to wear different shoes each day.

# Avoid wearing tight boots for long periods as they tend to restrict circulation.

# if you must wear close-fitting shoes sprinkle a little powdered, dry chamomile flowers, peppermint leaves, or pennyroyal inside them.

# Avoid buying plastic shoes. Choose leather or fabric shoes as these will allow your feet to breath.

# Make sure your shoes are at 2.5cm longer than your toes

# When you reach your home, wash your legs immediately after you remove your shoes.

# do pedicure once in a month.
