What is Blog?????

2010-09-03T00:20:00.000-07:00

A blog is a type of website or division of a website. Blogs are typically maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are usually displayed in reverse-chronological order. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Most blogs are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments and even message each other via widgets on the blogs and it is this interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites.

Many blogs provide comments or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (Art blog), photographs (photoblog), videos (video blogging), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Microblogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.

A new era for Tipplers

2009-02-25T23:32:00.000-08:00

The Sustainable City Future Committee today recommended to adopt immediate management arrangements for South Stradbroke Island Resort when Council takes over as custodian on 2 March 2009.

Committee Chair Councillor Peter Young said it was important that Council retain some services for the precinct in the interim.

“It is proposed to retain the kiosk at Tipplers to provide the camping ground and boating community with essential supplies,” said Cr Young.

“Caretakers will be installed on the site to secure and maintain structurally sound assets until such time as planning for the area has been completed and the former Club B structures have been removed.

“The Committee’s recommendation includes looking into the possibility of utilising some of the existing facilities in some way to provide short term assistance to those doing it tough during the current economic conditions.”

Mayor Ron Clarke said Council’s resolution to purchase South Stradbroke Island Resort and Club B was aimed at securing the future of the Tipplers Passage Precinct and retaining its unique natural environment.

“The island is an environmental gem, consistent with Council’s Bold Future vision of green, blue and gold, and a long-time tourist destination that has retained much of its natural environment,” said Cr Clarke.

“The Master Plan vision is for the leased areas, incorporating the existing Tipplers site, to be a family-orientated environmental destination.

“While the island will be moving into a new era, it is important to acknowledge the Grollo family, the resort’s former owners, and manager Garry Klein for their contribution to tourism on the Gold Coast over the past 25 years.

“Council will now spend the next 12 months or so planning for the central part of Tipplers to become a community/recreational hub, with a distinct ‘nature-based’ appeal.”

Divisional Councillor Grant Pforr said the hub could include an environmental and cultural heritage education centre.

“In line with Council’s environmental vision for the island, research could possibly be undertaken on the feasibility of ‘green power’ alternatives, such as tidal energy,” said Cr Pforr.

Hundred Years War

2009-01-22T05:13:00.001-08:00

The predefined definition of the Golden Rule is that those with the gold make the rules. In the other words, those with the gold have the power as well as those with the power have the gold. The History books will reveal the general reasons for war such as freedom from adversity or freedom from religion. But the real issue for any war is the thirst for power and control; and the means to finance them are the economic Nations will endure years of fighting for power and control. The European countries like France and England fought each other for more than a hundred years to have control of the Channel trade routes. So this century of warring was known as The Hundred Years' War and is the longest war in record history. The war has been began in 1337 when King Edward III invaded Normandy and ended in 1453 when France won the Battle of Bordeaux. Even though, it was not a hundred years of constant battle; there were periods of truces One cause for the Hundred Years' War was the claim to the French throne. He became a French regent and upon Charles VI's death, the King of England would succeed to a dual monarchy. Consequently, the archer could destroy the effectiveness of a French Calvary charge. King Richard II was not a good general. Among the other European countries, France was the richest country in Europe and its army was much larger than England's. But the political conditions of 1442-53 they might have able to resist the bribes, threats, and sanctions employed by a stronger and wealthier monarchy. The English people occupied the side of a small hill, while the heavy number of French men-at-arms and hired Genoese crossbowmen were at the foot of the hill on a plain. However the archers were below the knight on the social ladder, they were not ashamed to fight side by side. Subsequently, France gradually gained control of the Channel trade routes The war soldiers were happy to receive a salary and eager to fight on French soil. The maintenance of a dual kingdom became a financial strain and England was far in debt on military wages. Or France would raid unprotected towns and villages, take what they could, then burn them to the ground. The English pastures produced fleeces that were the envy of Europe which Flanders depended on for its wool and linen market.

Music

2008-12-11T04:58:00.001-08:00

Music is an art form consisting of sound and silence expressed through time. Elements of sound as used in music are pitch, rhythm and sonic qualities of timbre, articulation, dynamics, and texture.

The creation, performance, significance and even the definition of music, varies according to culture and social context. Music ranges from strictly organized compositions and performances to improvisational or aleatoric forms. For purposes of discussion and exploration of the topic, music is divided into genres and sub-genres, although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often unclear and/or controversial. Within "the arts", music can be classified as a performing art, a fine art, or an auditory art form.

Music may also involve generative forms in time through the construction of patterns and combinations of natural stimuli, principally sound. Music may be used for artistic or aesthetic, communicative, entertainment, ceremonial or religious purposes and by many composers purely as an academic instrument for study.

Weather and climate

2008-10-13T06:07:00.000-07:00

The atmosphere of the Earth serves as a key factor in sustaining the planetary ecosystem. The thin layer of gases that envelops the Earth is held in place by the planet's gravity. Dry air consists of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% argon and other inert gases, carbon dioxide, etc.; but air also contains a variable amount of water vapor. The atmospheric pressure declines steadily with altitude, and has a scale height of about 8 kilometers at the Earth's surface: the height at which the atmospheric pressure has declined. The ozone layer of the Earth's atmosphere plays an important role in depleting the amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation that reaches the surface. As DNA is readily damaged by UV light, this serves to protect life at the surface. The atmosphere also retains heat during the night, thereby reducing the daily temperature extremes.

Terrestrial weather occurs almost exclusively in the lower part of the atmosphere, and serves as a convective system for redistributing heat. Ocean currents are another important factor in determining climate, particularly the major underwater thermohaline circulation which distributes heat energy from the equatorial oceans to the Polar Regions. These currents help to moderate the differences in temperature between winter and summer in the temperate zones. Also, without the redistributions of heat energy by the ocean currents and atmosphere, the tropics would be much hotter, and the polar regions much colder.

Calculator

2008-09-11T19:03:00.000-07:00

A calculator is a machine for performing calculations. Although modern calculators often incorporate a general purpose computer, the device is calculated for performing specific operations, rather than for flexibility. Modern calculators are more convenient than most computers, though some Pads are comparable in amount to handheld calculators.

In the past, some calculators were as huge as today's computers. The first automatic calculators were mechanical desktop devices which were replaced by electromechanical desktop calculators, and then by electronic devices using first sung valves, then transistors, then hard-wired integrated circuit logic. New calculators are electrically powered and come in innumerable shapes and sizes varying from cheap, give-away, credit-card sized models to more sturdy adding machine-like models with built-in printers.

Gear

2008-07-21T05:51:00.000-07:00

A gear is a wheel with teeth around its circumference, the purpose of the teeth being to mesh with similar teeth on another mechanical device possibly another gear wheel so that force can be transmitted between the two strategies in a direction tangential to their surfaces. A non-toothed wheel can transmit some tangential force but will slip if the force is large; teeth put off slippage and permit the transmission of large forces.

A gear can mesh with any device having teeth friendly with the gear's teeth. Such devices include racks and other non-rotating policy; however, the most common condition is for a gear to be in mesh with another gear. In this case revolution of one of the gears necessarily causes the other gear to rotate. In this way, rotational motion can be transferred from one position to another. While gears are sometimes used simply for this reason to transmit rotation to another shaft perhaps their most significant feature is that, if the gears are of asymmetrical sizes, a mechanical advantage is also achieved, so that the rotational speed, and torque, of the second gear are dissimilar from that of the first. In this way, gears provide a means of increasing or decreasing a turning speed, or a torque.

Earth

2008-05-29T07:34:00.001-07:00

Earth is the fifth largest planet in the solar system, third in order of distance from the Sun. It is the largest of its planetary system's terrestrial planets and the only place in the universe known to support life.

The most prominent features of the earth's climate are its two large polar regions, two relatively narrow temperate zones, and a wide equatorial tropical to subtropical region. Precipitation patterns vary widely according to location, ranging from several meters of water per year to less than a millimeter. About 70 percent of the surface is covered by salt-water oceans. The remainder consists of continents and islands, with the vast majority of the inhabited land in the Northern Hemisphere.

Earth has evolved through geological and biological processes that have left traces of the original conditions. The outer surface is divided into several tectonic plates that gradually migrate across the surface over geologic time spans, which at least several times have changed relatively quickly. The interior of the planet remains active, with a thick layer of molten Earth mantle and an iron-filled core that generates a magnetic field

Education

2008-05-13T09:52:00.000-07:00

Education encompasses teaching and learning specific skills, and also something less tangible but more profound: the imparting of knowledge, positive judgment and well-developed wisdom. Education has as one of its fundamental aspects the imparting of culture from generation to generation. Education mean 'to draw out', are facilitating realization of self-potential and latent talents of an individual. It is an application of pedagogy, a body of theoretical and applied research relating to teaching and learning and draws on many disciplines such as psychology, philosophy, computer science, linguistics, neuroscience, sociology and anthropology.

The education of an individual human begins at birth and continues throughout life. For some, the struggles and triumphs of daily life provide far more instruction than doe’s formal schooling. Family members may have a profound educational effect often more profound than they realize though family teaching may function very informally.

Inductor

2008-04-17T09:13:00.001-07:00

An inductor is a passive electrical device working in electrical circuits for its property of inductance. Inductance is an consequence which results from the magnetic field that forms around a current carrying conductor. Electrical current through the conductor creates a magnetic flux relative to the current. A change in this current creates a change in magnetic flux that, in turn, generates an electromotive force that acts to oppose this change in current. Inductance is a calculate of the generated emf for a unit modify in current. An inductor with an inductance of 1 henry produces an emf of 1 V when the current through the inductor changes at the rate of 1 ampere per second. The number of turns, the area of each loop/turn, and what it is wrapped around influence the inductance.

An inductor opposes changes in the current. An ideal inductor would offer no resistance to a constant direct current, however, only superconducting inductors have truly zero electrical resistance. Inductors are used expansively in analog circuits and signal processing.

Temperature

2008-03-13T08:07:00.000-07:00

Temperature is a physical assets of a system that underlies the common notions of hot and cold; something that is hotter generally has the greater temperature. Specifically, temperature is a property of substance. Temperature is one of the major parameters of thermodynamics. On the microscopic scale, temperature is defined as the average energy of microscopic motions of a single atom in the system per degree of freedom. On the macroscopic scale, temperature is the exclusive physical property that determines the direction of heat flow between two objects placed in thermal contact. If no heat flow occurs, the two objects have the same temperature; otherwise heat flows from the hotter object to the colder object. These two basic principles are stated in the zeroth law and second law of thermodynamics, respectively. For a solid, these microscopic motions are principally the vibrations of its atoms about their sites in the firm. For an idyllic monatomic gas, the microscopic motions are the translational motions of the component gas particles

Temperature is measured with thermometers that may be calibrated to a range of temperature scales. In most of the world (except for the United States, Jamaica, and a few other countries), the degree Celsius scale is used for most warmth measuring purposes. The entire scientific world measures temperature using the Celsius scale and thermodynamic temperature using the kelvin scale, which is just the Celsius scale shifted downwards so that 0 K[1]= −273.15 °C, or absolute zero. Many engineering fields in the U.S., especially high-tech ones, also use the kelvin and degrees Celsius scales. However, the United States is the last major country in which the degree Fahrenheit temperature scale is used by most lay people, industry, popular meteorology, and government. Other engineering fields in the U.S. also rely upon the Rankine scale when working in thermodynamic-related disciplines such as incineration.

Amazon River

2008-03-10T08:12:00.001-07:00

The Amazon hand basin, the largest drainage basin in the world, covers an area of some 6,915,000 square kilometres (2,670,000 sq mi), or some 40 percent of South America. It gathers its waters from 5 degrees north freedom to 20 degrees south freedom. Its most remote sources are found on the inter-Andean upland, just a short distance from the Pacific Ocean.

The area covered by the water of the River and its tributaries more than triples over the course of a year. In an average dry season 110,000 square kilometres (42,000 sq mi) of land are water-covered, while in the wet season the flooded area of the Amazon Basin rises to 350,000 square kilometres (135,000 sq mi). At its widest point the Amazon River can be 11 kilometres (7 mi) wide during the dry season, but during the rainy season when the Amazon floods the surrounding plains it can be up to 45 kilometres (28 mi) wide.

The quantity of fresh water released by the Amazon to the Atlantic Ocean is mammoth: up to 300,000 m³ per second in the showery season. The Amazon is liable for a fifth of the total volume of fresh water entering the oceans global. Offshore of the mouth of the Amazon, potable water can be drawn from the ocean while still out of sight of the coast, and the salinity of the ocean is notably lower a hundred miles out to sea.

Switzerland

2008-02-19T08:47:00.000-08:00

Switzerland officially the Swiss confederacy (Confoederatio Helvetica in Latin, hence its ISO country code CHE), is a closed in country of 7.5 million people in Western Europe with an area of 41,285 km². Switzerland is a national republic consisting of 26 states called cantons. Berne is the seat of the federal government and de facto capital, while the country's economic centres are its two global cities, Geneva and specially Zürich. Switzerland is one of the richest countries in the world.

Switzerland is bordered by Germany, France, Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein. Switzerland is multilingual and has four national languages: German, French, Italian and Romansh. Switzerland has a long narration of objectivity – it has not been at war since 1815 – and hosts many international organizations, including the Red Cross, the WTO and one of the U.N.'s two European offices.

The Latin formal name of Switzerland, Confoederatio Helvetica is derived from the Helvetii, an ancient Celtic people in the Alpine region. It is rendered in German as Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft, in French as Confédération suisse, in Italian as Confederazione Svizzera and in Romansh as Confederaziun svizra. The freedom of Switzerland is conventionally dated to August 1, 1291; the first of August is the national holiday.

SIM Card

2008-02-11T04:12:00.000-08:00

A Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) is part of a detachable smart card ICC (Integrated Circuit Card), also known as SIM Cards, for mobile cellular telephony diplomacy such as mobile computers and mobile phones. SIM cards gradually store the service-subscriber key (IMSI) used to identify a subscriber. The SIM card allows users to change phones by simply removing the SIM card from one mobile phone and inserting it into another mobile phone or broadband telephony device.

SIM cards are available in two typical sizes. The first is the size of a credit card, 85.60 mm × 53.98 mm x 0.76 mm. The newer, more popular miniature-version has a size of 25 mm, a height of 15 mm, and a thickness of 0.76 mm. However most SIM cards are supplied as a full-sized card with the smaller card held in place by a few plastic links and can be simply wrecked off to be used in a phone that uses the smaller SIM.

Cat

2008-01-30T07:27:00.001-08:00

The Cat also known as the Domestic Cat or House Cat to distinguish it from other felines, is a small carnivorous genus of crepuscular animal that is often valued by humans for its camaraderie and its ability to hunt mice. It has been associated with humans for at least 9,500 years.

A skilled marauder, the cat is known to hunt over 1,000 species for food. It is intelligent and can be trained to obey simple commands. Individual cats have also been known to learn to manipulate simple mechanisms, such as doorknobs. Cats use a variety of words and types of body language for communication, including meowing, purring, hissing, growling, squeaking, peeping, clicking, and grunting. ats are popular pets and are also bred and shown as registered derivation pets.

Until recently the cat was commonly believed to have been disciplined in ancient Egypt, where it was a cult animal. But a study by the National Cancer Institute published in the journal Science says that all house cats are descended from a group of self-domesticating desert wildcats Felis silvestris lybica circa 10,000 years ago, in the Near East. All wildcat species can interbreed, but domestic cats are all hereditarily contained within F. s. lybica.

Shipping

2008-01-10T09:12:00.001-08:00

Shipping is basic method of transporting goods and cargo. Virtually every product ever made, bought, or sold has been exaggerated by shipping. Despite the lots of variables in shipped products and locations, there are only three basic types of shipments, land, air, and sea.

Land or ground shipping can be either by train or by automobile. Trucking is easily the most accepted form of shipping. Even in Air and Sea shipments, ground transportation is still required to take the product from its origin to the airport or seaport and then to its purpose. Ground transportation is typically more affordable than air shipments, but more costly than shipping by sea. Trucks are also much quicker than ships and rail but slower than planes.

Ground shipping can be cheaper and less limiting to size, quantity, weight, and type of freight than by air transport. Air transport is usually held in reserve for products which must be sent within a shorter time frame. Shipping can more generally refer to the transport of freight, self-determining of the mode of transport.

Business

2007-12-29T06:32:00.000-08:00

In economics, a business is a legally-recognized organizational entity existing within an economically free country designed to sell goods and/or services to consumers, usually in an effort to generate profit.

In predominantly capitalist economies, where most businesses are privately owned, businesses are typically formed to earn profit and grow the personal wealth of their owners. The owners and operators of a business have as one of their main objectives the receipt or generation of a financial return in exchange for their work - that is, the expense of time and energy - and for their acceptance of risk-investing work and money without certainty of success. Notable exceptions to this rule include cooperative businesses and government institutions. This model of business functioning is opposed by socialists, who advocate either government, public, or worker ownership of most sizable businesses; and to a lesser extent by individuals advocating for a mixed economy of private and state-owned enterprises.

The etymology of business refers to the state of being busy in the context of the individual as well as the community or society. In other words, to be busy is to be doing commercially viable and profitable work. The term business has at least three usages, depending on the scope - the general usage, the singular usage to refer to a particular company or corporation, and the generalized usage to refer to a particular market sector, such as the record business, the computer business, or the business community-the community of suppliers of goods and services.

Clothing

2007-12-19T08:56:00.000-08:00

Clothing protects the vulnerable nude human body from the extremes of weather, other features of our situation, and for safety reasons. Every article of clothing also carries a enriching and social meaning. Human beings are the only creatures known to wear clothing, with the exemption of pets clothed by their owners. People also decorate their bodies with makeup or foundation, perfume, and other ornamentation; they also cut, dye, and organize the hair of their heads, faces, and bodies, and sometimes also mark their skin. All these streamers contribute to the overall effect and message of clothing, but do not constitute clothing per se.

Articles carried rather than worn are normally counted as fashion garnishing rather than as clothing. Jewelry and eyeglasses are usually counted as accessories as well, even though in general speech these items are described as being worn rather than carried. The practical function of clothing is to protect the human body from dangers in the surroundings: weather, insects, noxious chemicals, weapons, and get in touch with with abrasive substances, and other hazards. Clothing can protect against many things that might injure the naked human body. In some cases clothing protects the environment from the clothing wearer as fine.

Humans have shown intense inventiveness in devising clothing solutions to practical problems and the difference between clothing and other protective equipment is not always clear-cut. See, among others: air inured clothing, armor, diving suit, swimsuit, bee-keeper's uniform, motorcycle leathers, high-visibility garments, and protective clothing.

Microbes

2007-12-13T08:38:00.001-08:00

The first form of life to develop on the Earth was microbes, and they remained the only form of life on the planet until about a billion years ago when multi-cellular organisms began to appear. Microorganisms are single-celled organisms that are generally smaller than the human eye can see. They include Bacteria, Fungi, Archaea and Protista.

These life forms are found in almost every location on the Earth where there is liquid water, including the interior of rocks within the planet. Their reproduction is both rapid and profuse. The combination of a high mutation rate and horizontal gene transfer ability makes them highly adaptable, and able to survive in new environments, including outer space. They form an essential part of the planetary ecosystem. However some microorganisms are pathogenic and can post health risk to other organisms.

Power

2007-11-27T06:47:00.000-08:00

Power is the rate at which work is performed or energy is transmitted or the amount of energy essential or finished for a given unit of time. It is many types of conversion Power. Power (physics) is the quantity of work done or energy transferred per unit of time. Motive power is power which moves great, such as output of a motor. Electric power generation is the process of converting any form of energy to electrical energy.

Power station, a capability for generating electricity, nuclear power, the conversion of nuclear force to electricity, solar power, the translation of solar energy to electricity, wind power, the conversion of wind energy to electricity, wave power, the conversion of signal energy to electricity, tidal power, the conversion of energy of the tides energy to electricity, geothermal power, the conversion of geothermal power to electricity, hydropower, the conversion of possible or kinetic energy of water to electricity, Optical power of a lens is the opposite of its focal length, Effective radiated power in radio telecommunications is a calculate of radio station antennas.

Women on television

2007-11-19T06:28:00.000-08:00

The quality of television programme has become a national disgrace. The Young women who are displeased with their appearance more likely then not can trace those feelings directly back to images from the media on television. That unrealistic representation of women that the media bombards young women with indicates that the television has become a source for a distorted understanding of gender roles among adolescent women. The images which are warping the young women's views of their own gender identity. The media on television which should in an attempt to provide more positive gender identities for adolescent women depict women on television in more realistic ways, should stop reinforcing negative stereotypes of women, and stop portraying women as sex objects in advertising.

Subsequently, the advertisers see women as parts. Teenage girls – they should be represented on television as being able to have serious conversations and feeling that their brains are as important as their looks. The result of these images is that these ideas create competition among women and divides women. Women should be represented as more than the standard stereotypical negative and simplified character viewers who generally see. The media especially television often focus on legs, breasts and mouth of a woman, so in essence women are looked at in pieces. Women are needed to be shown in occupations that are not the stereotypical, such as the occupations of nurse, maid, sales assistant, or models. Although, the girls who are coming in advertisements are often seen playing house while little boys are seen with trucks and action figures. The television should represent traditional views of society. For all the above said reasons, society should have a deep concern with the gender roles that young women are learning from television. Often Women has been shown as only being able to get what they want by using sexuality

Cloud

2007-10-26T09:28:00.000-07:00

The color of a cloud tells much about what is going on in the interior of the cloud. Clouds form when relatively warm air containing water vapor is lighter than its nearby air and this causes it to rise. As it rises it cools and the vapor condenses out of the air as micro-droplets. These minute particles of water are fairly densely packed, and sunlight cannot go through far into the cloud before it is reflected out, giving a cloud its attribute white color. As a cloud matures, the droplets may join to produce larger droplets, which may themselves merge to form droplets large enough to fall as rain. In this process of accretion, the space between droplets becomes larger and larger, permitting light to enter much farther into the cloud.

If the cloud is satisfactorily large, and the droplets within are spaced far enough apart, it may be that a percentage of the light which enters the cloud is not reflected back out before it is absorbed .This process of reflection/absorption is what leads to the range of cloud color from white through grey through black. For the same reason, the undersides of large clouds and heavy overcasts appear various degrees of grey; little light is being reflected or transmitted back to the observer.

Elevator

2007-10-15T03:39:00.001-07:00

An elevator is a transport tool used to move goods or people up and down. Outside North America, elevators are known most commonly as lifts. Other languages may have loanwords based on moreover elevator or lift .Because of wheelchair right to use laws, elevators are often a requirement in new buildings with multiple floors. Elevators start on as simple rope or chain hoists.

An elevator is basically a platform that is either pulled or pushed up by mechanical resources. A modern day elevator consists of a cab mounted on a platform within an together with this space called a shaft, or in Commonwealth English called a hoist way. In the past, elevator drive mechanisms were mechanical by steam and water hydraulic pistons. In a traction elevator, cars are pulled up by means of rolling steel ropes over an extremely grooved pulley, frequently called a sheave in the industry. The weight of the car is intention with a counterweight. Sometimes two elevators move forever synchronized in opposite way, and they are each other's counterweight.

Block

2007-10-09T06:25:00.000-07:00

In computing, block size indicates a nominal size, usually expressed in bytes or bits, of a mass of data. Data thus controlled is said to be blocked. The process of putting data into blocks is called blocking. Blocking is used to assist the handling of the data-stream by the computer program receiving the data. Blocked data is generally read a block at a time. Blocking is almost universally employed when storing data to 9-track magnetic tape, to turning media such as floppy disks, hard disks, and optical discs, and to NAND flash memory.
Block storage is normally abstract by a file system or database management system for use by applications and end users. Database management systems(DBMS) often use their own Block I/O for superior performance and recoverability as compare to layering the DBMS on top of a file system.

Nanotechnology

2007-09-19T08:02:00.000-07:00

Nanotechnology is a field of applied science and technology casing a broad range of topics. The main unifying theme is the control of matter on a scale smaller than 1 micrometre, normally in the order of 1 to 100 nanometers, as well as the fabrication of plans of this size. It is a highly multidisciplinary field, drawing from fields such as functional physics, materials science, colloidal science, appliance physics, supramolecular chemistry, and even mechanical and electrical engineering. Much speculation exists as to what new discipline and technology may result from these lines of research. Nanotechnology can be seen as an extension of accessible sciences into the nanoscale, or as a recasting of existing sciences using a newer, most recent term.
Two main approaches are used in nanotechnology. In the bottom-up approach, materials and devices are built from molecular mechanisms which assemble themselves chemically by principles of molecular appreciation. In the top-down approach, nano-objects are constructed from larger entities without atomic-level power. The impetus for nanotechnology comes from a renewed attention in colloidal science, coupled with a new invention of analytical tools such as the minute force microscope, and the scanning tunneling microscope (STM). Combined with refined processes such as electron beam lithography and molecular beam epitaxy, these instruments allow the purposeful manipulation of nanostructures, and led to the observation of novel phenomena.

Tiger

2007-09-04T09:54:00.001-07:00

The tiger is a mammal of the Felidae family, one of four large cats in the Panther a genus. Native to the mainland of southeastern Asia, the tiger is an apex predator and the largest feline species in the world, similar in size to the biggest fossil felids. The Bengal Tiger is the most general subspecies of tiger, constituting approximately 80% of the entire tiger population, and is found in India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, and Nepal. An endangered species, the popular of the world's tigers now live in captivity.
The tiger is introverted and territorial, preferring cover in deep forest, but also ranging in open areas. The cat hunts by stalk-and-ambush and may take a variety of mid- and large-sized prey, particularly ungulates. Males are much larger than females and have bigger home ranges. Amongst the nine extant tiger subspecies, there is major size variation.

Security

2007-08-23T10:02:00.000-07:00

Security is the condition of being sheltered against danger or loss. In the general sense, security is a perception similar to safety. The nuance between the two is an added emphasis on being protected from dangers that initiate from outside. Individuals or actions that encroach upon the condition of protection are responsible for the breach of security.
The word security in general procedure is synonymous with safety, but as a technical term security means that something not only is protected but that it has been secured. A condition that results from the establishment and maintenance of protective measures that ensures a state of inviolability from hostile acts or influences. With respect to classified matter, the condition that prevents unauthorized persons from having right to use to official information that is safeguarded in the benefit of national security.

Safety

Safety is the state of being safe, the situation of being protected against physical, social, spiritual, financial, political, emotional, occupational, psychological, educational or additional types or consequences of failure, damage, error, accidents, harm or any other event which could be considered non-desirable. This can take the form of being protected from the event or from exposure to something that causes health or reasonable losses. There also are two slightly different meanings of safety, a safety home may indicate its protection ability against external harm events, and the second that its internal installations are safe for its habitants.
Safety can be limited in relative to some guarantee or a standard of insurance to the quality and unharmful function of an object or organization. It is used in order to ensure that the object or association will do only what it is meant to do. Normative safety is a term used to explain products or designs that meet applicable design standards. Substantive safety stands for that the real-world safety history is favorable, whether or not standards are met. Perceived safety refers to the stage of comfort of users

The result in cricket

If the team that bats last has all of its batsmen dismissed before it can reach the run total of the differing team, it is said to have lost by (n) runs. If however, the team that bats last exceeds the opposing team's run total before its batsmen are dismissed, it is said to have win by (n) wickets, where (n) is the difference between the number of wickets conceded and 10.If, in a two-innings-a-side match, one team's combined first and second innings total fails to reach its opponent's first innings total, there is no need for the opposing team to bat again and it is said to have won by an innings and (n) runs, where (n) is the variation between the two teams' totals.

If all the batsmen of the team batting last are dismissed with the scores closely equal then the match is a tie; ties are very rare in matches of two innings a side. In the traditional form of the game, if the time allotted for the match expires before either side can win, then the game is a draw. If the match has only a single innings per side, then a highest number of deliveries for each innings is frequently imposed. Such a match is called a limited overs or one-day match, and the side scoring more runs wins anyway of the number of wickets lost, so that a draw cannot occur. If this kind of match is temporarily intermittent by bad weather, then a complex mathematical formula known as the Duckworth-Lewis method is often used to recalculate a new target score. A one-day match can be declared a No-Result if fewer than a up to that time agreed number of overs have been bowled by either team, in circumstances that make normal recommencement of play impossible.

Bond

2007-07-20T06:54:00.000-07:00

In finance, a bond is a debt security, in which the authorized issuer owes the holders a debt and is grateful to repay the principal and interest at a later date, termed maturity. Other conditions may also be attached to the bond issue, such as the obligation for the issuer to provide certain information to the bond holder, or limitations on the behavior of the issuer. Bonds are generally issued for a permanent term longer than ten years. U.S Treasury securities issue debt with life of ten years. New debt between one year and ten years is a note, and new debit less than a year is a bill.

A bond is simply a loan, but in the form of a security, although expressions used is rather different. The issuer is equivalent to the borrower, the bond holder to the lender, and the voucher to the interest. Bonds enable the issuer to finance long-term investments with external funds. Certificates of deposit (CDs) or commercial paper are measured money market instruments.

Social network

2007-07-16T02:51:00.000-07:00

A social network is a social structure made of nodes that are tied by one or more specific types of relatives, such as values, visions, idea, financial exchange, friends, kinship, dislike, trade, web links, sexual relations, disease communication or airline routes.Social network analysis views common relationships in terms of nodes and ties. Nodes are the individual actors within the networks, and ties are the associations between the actors. Research in a number of academic fields has shown that social networks operate on many levels, from families up to the level of nations, and play a serious role in determining the way problems are solved, organizations are run, and the degree to which individuals succeed in achieving their goals.

In its simplest form, a social network is a map of all of the appropriate ties between the nodes being studied. The network can also be used to decide the social capital of individual actors. These concepts are often displayed in a shared network diagram, where nodes are the points and ties are the lines.

Electron

2007-07-10T04:30:00.001-07:00

In relativistic quantum mechanics, the electron is described by the direct Equation which defines the electron as a point. In quantum field theory, the activities of the electron are described by quantum electrodynamics, a gauge theory. In Dirac's model, an electron is defined to be a mathematical point, a point-like, exciting bare particle surrounded by a sea of interacting pairs of virtual particles and antiparticles. The extraordinarily precise agreement of this forecast with the experimentally resolute value is viewed as one of the great achievements of modern physics.

In the Standard Model of particle physics, the electron is the first-generation stimulating lepton. It forms a weak isospin doublet with the electron neutrino, these two particles cooperate with each other through both the charged and neutral current weak interaction. The electron is very similar to the two more massive particles of higher generations, the muon and the tau lepton, which are identical in charge, spin, and interface but differ in mass.

Languages

2007-06-29T03:13:00.000-07:00

Languages that exist only in the spoken form, such as those of many of the Native American Indian tribes, require the use of audio recording campaign such as a digital audio recorder or a tape recorder, augmented by explanatory text written in other languages, for preservation. Recently, efforts have been made to create symbol sets and grammars for such languages to avoid further losses of historically valuable information. Conversely, there are numerous extinct languages which persist only in their printed form. In some cases, experts can only guess at what their spoken form really sounded like. To prevent further losses of this nature, modern linguists have developed supersets of symbols for the purpose of correctly recording the authentic sounds of known languages.

While the superset symbols, which normally encode phonemes and their allophones, could record continuous discussion with nearly flawless accuracy, it would be tedious and unnecessary to record huge volumes of speech in this manner. That said there is a practical application for it, fine tuning of the programming for text-to-speech synthesizers to give computers a voice that sounds extremely human. Where a synthesizer stumbles on a given word, an entry can be added to an omission dictionary, wherein its definition consists of the word respelled in phonemes and allophones.

Voltage

2007-06-25T02:53:00.000-07:00

Voltage is the difference of electrical potential between two points of an electrical or electronic circuit, uttered in volts. It measures the potential energy of an electric field to source an electric current in an electrical conductor. Depending on the difference of electrical potential it is called extra low voltage, low voltage, high voltage or extra high voltage.

Between two points in an electric field, such as exists in an electrical circuit, the distinction in their electrical potentials is known as the electrical potential difference. This difference is proportional to the electrostatic force that tends to drive electrons or other charge-carriers from one point to the other. Potential difference, electrical potential, and electromotive force are measured in volts, leading to the commonly used term voltage. Voltage is usually represented in equations by the symbols V, U, or E.

Electrical potential difference can be thought of as the capacity to move electrical charge through a resistance. At a time in physics when the word force was used loosely, the potential difference was named the electromotive force or EMF—a term which is still used in confident contexts.

Hobbies

2007-06-13T09:05:00.001-07:00

A hobby-horse was a wood or wickerwork toy made to be ride just like the actual hobby. From this game the appearance to ride one's hobby-horse, meaning to follow a favourite pastime, and in turn, hobby in the modern sense of recreation.Hobbies are practised for interest and satisfaction, rather than financial reward. Examples include collecting, creative and artistic pursuits, building, tinkering, sports and adult education. Engaging in a hobby can lead to acquiring significant skill, knowledge, and experience.
However, personal realization is the aim.What are hobbies for some people are professions for others, a game tester may enjoy cooking as a hobby, while a qualified cheif might enjoy playing computer games. Generally speaking, the person who does something for fun, not remuneration, is called an recreational as distinct from a professional.An important determinant of what is considered a hobby, as individual from a profession is probably.

Digital Audiois

Digital audiois a technology has emerged because of its supreme usefulness to sound recording, manipulation, mass-production and distribution. The modern day distribution of music across the internet through on-line stores depends on digital recording, and digital compression algorithms. "Dematerialization" of the music software into computer files has significantly reduced costs of distribution. However, it has brought about the concomitant rise in music sharing thorough peer to peer networks.

From the Long-play gramophone record and compact cassette, the 78 RPM vinyl records and wax cylinders before them, analogue audio music storage and reproduction have been based on the same principles upon which human hearing are based. Sounds begin and end as mechanical energy wave forms in air, are captured in said wave form, and transformed into an electrical energy by a microphone transducer. Although its nature may change, its fundamental wave-like characteristics remain unchanged during its storage, transformation, duplication, amplification. Up until very recently, analogue audio is susceptible to significant information loss, as noise and distortions tend to creep in at each stage.

Commercial mortgage

2007-05-16T22:15:00.001-07:00

A commercial mortgage is a loan made using real estate as collateral to protecting repayment. Commercial mortgage is similar to a residential mortgage, except the collateral is a commercial building or other business real estate, not residential property.

In calculation, commercial mortgages are usually taken on by businesses as a substitute of individual borrowers. The borrower may be a partnership, incorporated business, or limited company, so assessment of the creditworthiness of the business can be more complicated than is the case with residential mortgages.

Commercial mortgages are typically non recourse i.e. that in the event of default in repayment, the creditor can only seize the collateral, but has no further claim against the borrower for any remaining deficiency. Less commonly, the mortgage is complement by a general obligation of the borrower, which makes the debt payable in full even if foreclosure on the mortgaged collateral does not satisfy the outstanding balance.
