UNITY IN DIVERSITY...

Now We discuss about the topic unity in diversity.
Along back i think in 6th or 7th there was a lesson in hindi anektha me ektha in akbar birbal tails...
Once akbar asked birbal what is anektha me ektha, birbal just tried to say some thing and akbar could not able to understand it exactly...sooo akbar was angry on birbal and said I want a clear explanation about this.
Birbal thinked for 1 sec and said i'll prove it.
And asked to announce all the members must bring a bowl of millk i.e around 1-2 litres and that milk must be clean with out any water.;)
sooo all the village members decided to give the milk and came to a spot at night and poured what they had in their bowls.

Next day morning when akbar came to see what he got in that biG bowl he just shocked to see that...there is only water and not even a drop of milk in that...
Birbal replied silently, this is anektha me ektha...

All the villagers thought that there will be no difference if i pour a bowl of water in that and all poured just water but not milk...

THIS IS ANEKTHA ME EKTHA...UNITY IN DIVERSITY.

The Era Of Young Politicians.

Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam once said," If India is to become developed by 2020, it will do so only by riding on the shoulders of the young". The youth are the future of India. They can divide India or place India at a position which even USA may envy.

India is incomplete without politics. But at the moment, politics is the one surrounded by vitriolic criticism. No wonder most of the Indians believe that politics is a game for the astute, by the astute and of the astute. We perceive politicians by their dwellings in ‘Lazy Leisures’ and fallacious promises. I think politicians descend on Earth only for greed, money and power. They turn away from social dilemmas with their most famous cliché – Some problems have no solutions. I strongly feel that whenever there’s no solution to a problem, then the problem cannot be called a problem. If politicians spend even a fraction of their energy required for aggressive campaigning for the welfare of the nation, then we can surely expect miracles! However, politics has had such a bad influence on people that my mom threatened to ostracize me when I thought of entering the politician’s game!

Contrary to usual political views, there are some conscious souls in the country who wish to make a difference. But is this always-desired difference a plausibility? It is quite a difficult process, but not entirely out of the question. There is an urgent need of a change in the governance and administration of our country. I think young political leaders are the ones who can bring about a change. I have high hopes pinned on them because they can lend a hand for a positive change in the current political system. I feel they are no way a means to lure young voters. "Nevertheless, it is better to place young political leaders in the domain of optimism, than decorate them with the thorns of negativity and criticism". India certainly requires young blood to generate a productive change to modify the system into a people-friendly one.
I believe the common, middle-class man can relate better with the young leader than the elderly politician whose days can end anytime! In this process, young politicians must be humble, kind and helpful to the masses. And if humility is not the virtue of the young leader, then I feel the future of India is definitely bleak.

"Today, the politician in India is not known by the number of promises he fulfills, but by the number of criminal cases filed against him". They are famous for their gigantic assurances and miniature actions. In this background, the youth can stand up and make India an India which the World has never seen before. So, I assert, "It’s all up to the youth!"

"Lastly have to say it's time to INDIAN Youth, we can change the nation and future of India and take the position of our nation where USA may envy..."

CANCER.

Every one know cancer is a uncontrolled disease...lets discuss some thing about cancer and let's bring awareness about this disease.

Cancer:
Carcinoma: Malignant tumor.

Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. Cancerous cells are also called malignant cells.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors:

Cells are the building blocks of living things.

Cancer grows out of normal cells in the body. Normal cells multiply when the body needs them, and die when the body doesn't need them. Cancer appears to occur when the growth of cells in the body is out of control and cells divide too quickly. It can also occur when cells forget how to die.
There are many different kinds of cancers. Cancer can develop in almost any organ or tissue, such as the lung, colon, breast, skin, bones, or nerve tissue.
There are many causes of cancers, including:

1.Benzene and other chemicals
2.Drinking excess alcohol
3.Environmental toxins, such as certain poisonous mushrooms and a type of poison that can grow on peanut plants (aflatoxins)
4.Excessive sunlight exposure
5.Genetic problems
6.Obesity
7.Radiation
8.Viruses

However, the cause of many cancers remains unknown.
The most common cause of cancer-related death is lung cancer.

The three most common cancers in men in the United States are:

• Prostate cancer
• Lung cancer
• Colon cancer

In women in the United States, the three most common cancers are:

• Breast cancer
• Colon cancer
• Lung cancer

Some cancers are more common in certain parts of the world. For example, in Japan, there are many cases of stomach cancer, but in the United States, this type of cancer is pretty rare. Differences in diet may play a role.

Some other types of cancers include:

• Brain cancer
• Cervical cancer
• Hodgkin's lymphoma
• Kidney cancer
• Leukemia
• Liver cancer
• Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
• Ovarian cancer
• Skin cancer
• Testicular cancer
• Thyroid cancer
• Uterine cancer

Symptoms:

Symptoms of cancer depend on the type and location of the cancer. For example, lung cancer can cause coughing, shortness of breath, or chest pain. Colon cancer often causes diarrhea, constipation, and blood in the stool.
Some cancers may not have any symptoms at all. In certain cancers, such as pancreatic cancer, symptoms often do not start until the disease has reached an advanced stage.

The following symptoms can occur with most cancers:

• Chills
• Fatigue
• Fever
• Loss of appetite
• Malaise
• Night sweats
• Weight loss

Signs and tests:

Like symptoms, the signs of cancer vary based on the type and location of the tumor. Common tests include the following:

• Biopsy of the tumor
• Blood tests (which look for chemicals such as tumor markers)
• Bone marrow biopsy (for lymphoma or leukemia)
• Chest x-ray
• Complete blood count (CBC)
• CT scan
• MRI scan

Most cancers are diagnosed by biopsy. Depending on the location of the tumor, the biopsy may be a simple procedure or a serious operation. Most patients with cancer have CT scans to determine the exact location and size of the tumor or tumors.
A cancer diagnosis is difficult to cope with. It is important, however, that you discuss the type, size, and location of the cancer with your doctor when you are diagnosed. You also will want to ask about treatment options, along with their benefits and risks.

It's a good idea to have someone with you at the doctor's office to help you get through the diagnosis. If you have trouble asking questions after hearing about your diagnosis, the person you bring with you can ask them for you.

Treatment:

Treatment varies based on the type of cancer and its stage. The stage of a cancer refers to how much it has grown and whether the tumor has spread from its original location.

•If the cancer is confined to one location and has not spread, the most common treatment approach is surgery to cure the cancer. This is often the case with skin cancers, as well as cancers of the lung, breast, and colon.
• If the tumor has spread to local lymph nodes only, sometimes these can be removed.
• If surgery cannot remove all of the cancer, the options for treatment include radiation, chemotherapy, or both. Some cancers require a combination of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.
• Lymphoma, or cancer of the lymph glands, is rarely treated with surgery. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are most often used to treat lymphoma

Although treatment for cancer can be difficult, there are many ways to keep up your strength.
If you have radiation treatment, know that:

• Radiation treatment is painless.
• Treatment is usually scheduled every weekday.
• You should allow 30 minutes for each treatment session, although the treatment itself usually takes only a few minutes.
• You should get plenty of rest and eat a well-balanced diet during the course of your radiation therapy.
• Skin in the treated area may become sensitive and easily irritated.
• Side effects of radiation treatment are usually temporary. They vary depending on the area of the body that is being treated.

Prevention:
You can reduce the risk of getting a cancerous (malignant) tumor by:

• Eating a healthy diet
• Exercising regularly
• Limiting alcohol
• Maintaining a healthy weight
• Minimizing your exposure to radiation and toxic chemicals
• Not smoking or chewing tobacco
• Reducing sun exposure, especially if you burn easily

Cancer screenings, such as mammography and breast examination for breast cancer and colonoscopy for colon cancer, may help catch these cancers at their early stages when they are most treatable. Some people at high risk for developing certain cancers can take medication to reduce their risk.

Devda village set to welcome 2nd baraat in 120 yrs.

Devla (also known as Devda,) is a small village in the Rajkot district, Gujarat, India near Gondal. It has the population of 2000 people and is situated at the banks of Bhadar river.
It's a proud moment not just for Panna Singh's family but for the entire Devda village.
Feb 16, 2010:
'Baraat' — only the second time in 120 years. Panna Singh's daughter Shagun Kanwar will wed Shailendra Singh at this Rajput village, Devda, which had earned notoriety for the very high incidence of female infanticide.
The only other time a 'baraat' came to Devda was in 1998, when Shagun's cousin Jayant Kanwar became the first girl to get married in over a century in this village. "We have the distinction of being the only family to have got two of their girls married. On Tuesday, my daughter will be married to Shailendra Singh of Bikaner who works with the tourism department. It's a proud moment for us," said Panna Singh.


There's a centuries old reprehensible custom in these parts of killing the girl child. It was almost an act of revolt by Inder Singh Bhati and his wife who, 29 years ago, decided against the wishes of the community that their baby girl will live. While everybody else around them killed their daughters, the Bhatis, who had lost 3 sons before Jayant's birth, could not bring themselves to follow the bizarre village ritual with infant girls. ''I don't remember what we were thinking but it was my wife who took the decision. I supported her,'' recalls Inder Singh.

Chichen Itza, Mexico - Mayan City

Chichen Itza is an exotic place which is located in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico and it is one of the largest structures of the pre-Columbian Mayan culture. Visiting this place would truly be a mesmerizing experience for you because it has all the features and specialties that would truly mesmerize your senses. The mysterious temple and pyramid lies within the thick Mexican forests where you can visit it all around the year.

Chichen Itza is a sacred city of Mexico and it is visited by many tourists from all around the world who want to know more about this mysterious structure. The structure depicts various architectural styles that resemble the Puuc style and the Mexico style that were very famous amongst the Mayan, many centuries ago.

Christ Redeemer, Brazil - Large Statue

Christ the Redeemer (Portuguese: Cristo Redentor) is a statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; considered the second largest Art Deco statue in the world.The statue is 39.6 metres (130 ft) tall, including its 9.5 meter (31 feet) pedestal, and 30 metres (98 ft) wide. It weighs 635 tonnes (700 short tons), and is located at the peak of the 700-metre (2,300 ft) Corcovado mountain in the Tijuca Forest National Park overlooking the city. A symbol of Christianity, the statue has become an icon of Rio and Brazil.It is made of reinforced concrete and soapstone, and was constructed between 1922 and 1931.

The Great Wall, China

The Great Wall of China is one of the world's iconic attractions, and there is little that can be said about the Great Wall that has not been stated over and over again throughout the wall's more than 2,000 -year history. Construction of the Great Wall started in 221 BC to defend the Middle Kingdom from Mongol soldiers. But many of the sections were already in place, built by a series of independent kingdoms stretched across the land, from Shanhaiguan on the east coast to Jiayuguan in the Gobi Desert—Emperor Qin Shihuang merely oversaw the joining of these walls.

Machu Picchu, Peru

The ancient city of Machu Picchu is often referred to as the ‘lost city of the Incas’ situated on a mountain ridge some 8,000ft above sea level. Built around AD 1430 the site was abandoned by the Incas due to the Spanish conquest 100years later. In 1983 Machu Picchu also became a World Heritage Site.

The Roman Colosseum, Italy

It is an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire. It is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering.
Occupying a site just east of the Roman Forum, its construction started in 72 AD under the emperor Vespasian and was completed in 80 AD under Titus, with further modifications being made during Domitian's reign (81–96). The name "Amphitheatrum Flavium" derives from both Vespasian's and Titus's family name (Flavius, from the gens Flavia).

Capable of seating 50,000 spectators,the Colosseum was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.

Last but not least, here comes our great TAJ MAHAL.

The Taj Mahal, India:

Taj Mahal is the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian, Islamic and Indian architectural styles.
"The Taj" is a mausoleum located in Agra, India. It is one of the most recognizable structures in the world.It was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It is widely considered as one of the most beautiful buildings in the world and stands as a symbol of eternal love.

Global Warming...

What is Global warming...???

Global warming is nothing but increase in the average temperature of Earth's near surface air and oceans.
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 phenomenon of increasing concentrations of man-made atmospheric aerosols, which affect cloud properties and block sunlight from reaching the surface, has partially countered the effects of warming induced by greenhouse gases.

Global Warming Causes...

As said, the major cause of global warming is the emission of green house gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide etc into the atmosphere.
The major source of carbon dioxide is the power plants. These power plants emit large amounts of carbon dioxide produced from burning of fossil fuels for the purpose of electricity generation. About twenty percent of carbon dioxide emitted in the atmosphere comes from burning of gasoline in the engines of the vehicles. This is true for most of the developed countries. Buildings, both commercial and residential represent a larger source of global warming pollution than cars and trucks.
Building of these structures require a lot of fuel to be burnt which emits a large amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Methane is more than 20 times as effectual as CO2 at entrapping heat in the atmosphere.
Methane is obtained from resources such as rice paddies, bovine flatulence, bacteria in bogs and fossil fuel manufacture. When fields are flooded, anaerobic situation build up and the organic matter in the soil decays, releasing methane to the atmosphere.
The main sources of nitrous oxide include nylon and nitric acid production, cars with catalytic converters, the use of fertilizers in agriculture and the burning of organic matter.
Another cause of global warming is deforestation that is caused by cutting and burning of forests for the purpose of residence and industrialization.
Anual Green House Gas Emissions By Sector...

What is Green House Effect...???

The greenhouse effect is a process by which thermal radiation from a planetary surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases, and is re-radiated in all directions. Since part of this re-radiation is back towards the surface, energy is transferred to the surface and the lower atmosphere. As a result, the temperature there is higher than it would be if direct heating by solar radiation were the only warming mechanism.
The greenhouse effect was discovered by Joseph Fourier in 1824, first reliably experimented on by John Tyndall in 1858, and first reported quantitatively by Svante Arrhenius in 1896


Basic Mechanism.:
The Earth receives energy from the Sun in the form UV, visible, and near IR radiation, most of which passes through the atmosphere without being absorbed.
Of the total amount of energy available at the top of the atmosphere (TOA), about 50% is absorbed at the Earth's surface. Because it is warm, the surface radiates far IR thermal radiation that consists of wavelengths that are predominantly much longer than the wavelengths that were absorbed.
 
Most of this thermal radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere and re-radiated both upwards and downwards; that radiated downwards is absorbed by the Earth's surface. This trapping of long-wavelength thermal radiation leads to a higher equilibrium temperature than if the atmosphere were absent.
 
Greenhouse gases:
 
By their percentage contribution to the greenhouse effect on Earth the four major gases are
 
water vapor 36–70%
carbon dioxide 9–26%
methane 4–9%
ozone 3–7%
 
Our Contribution To Reduce Global Warming...:
 
Educate yourself about global warming:
Recycle more by using recycling bins, composting, etc.
Buy locally made and locally grown products:
Buy minimally packaged goods:
Insulate anything that uses energy to stay a different temperature from its environment.
Replace old appliances and reduce reliance on them.
Unplug unused electronics.
Grow fast growing plants.
Use public transportation.
Ride a bicycle.
Use Refills.

What You Can Do To Prevent Global Warming:

The World’s Youngest Self-Made Billionaires!!!

Billionaires are getting younger! These young billionaires stand out amongst hundreds of billionaires in their age group. They are different from those that inherited their billions, because they started their own businesses and built them from ground up to reach the peak.

Mark Zuckerberg – United States, Age: 23

Facebook has attracted more users than any other site can boast of. The founder is a young boy born on May 14, 1984 and named Mark Elliot Zuckerberg. This sky and reserved kid has an unparalleled brilliance. According to Forbes magazine, Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire in the world for 2008.

He was born in a Jewish family and his father is a dentist. From his early years, he loved hacking into computers and wrote his own programs. He studied at Harvard, and the idea that brought him fame and money, a social networking site, was born in his dorm at Harvard, and the rest is history. His idea took fruition as Facebook, gaining unprecedented fame. He and his friend Andrew McCollum along with two other roommates, Dustin Moskovits and Chris Hughes started Facebook. Mark is the CEO of Facebook and his net worth is said to be $1.5 billion.

He studied computer science at Harvard University and while he was there, he created a website called Facemash, that compared students’ dorm pictures kept side-by-side, to see which one is better looking (hot or not.) It was about a few months later that he launched Facebook. He also won the Crunchie Award in 2007 for the “Best Startup CEO.

John Arnold – United States. Age: 34

John Arnold was a go-getter from a young age. He is on the list of current self-made billionaires and his net work is estimated to be $2.5 bil.
His father was a lawyer and mom was an accountant. He graduated from Vanderbilt University and after his studies, went on to work for Enron.

He was 27 when he used Internet-based trading network to earn $750 million for Enron in 2001, when he was an oil trader for the company. He was rewarded $8 million in bonus. A year later, when Enron collapsed, he went into business himself and founded the hedge fund Centaurus Energy Advisors, LLC, based in Houston, Texas. For this, he is said to have used his $8 million bonus and other funds from selling his Enron stock just before its collapse.

Xiaofeng Peng – China. Age: 34

Xiaofeng Peng is a self-made billionaire with an estimated worth of $1.5 billion. Solar energy has been his ladder to success and wealth. When Peng was pondering the next move of his career, he realized that renewable energy is the future. Initially, he started out with a trading company in 2005, and it grew immensely to become one of the fastest growing suppliers of Chinese-made solar wafers in the world. These solar wafers are used in solar panels. His company, LDK Solar has also been listed on NASDAQ since 2007.

Sameer Gehlaut, India. Age: 34

Sameer Gehlaut whose net worth is calculated at 1.2 bil, is the youngest and the 45th richest in India, and one of the youngest billionaires in the world. He established Indiabulls in 2000.
His educated consisted of a Mechanical Engineering degree from IIT, Delhi in 1995. As a young boy, he worked for Halliburton in the United States. He returned to India and started an earth moving and mining business, which is now taken care of by his family.
