Global Warming is really a big problem we have to deal with nowadays, because it has the potential to change forever our lives and our planet’s environment as we know them, and this would affect the whole mankind. There are huge social, political, and economic issues that will rise if we don’t do something to stop the skyrocketing rise of the temperatures.
Who is (or are) to blame for this dangerous phenomenon: what are the causes of global warming? Are them the industry CO2 emissions? Are them other gases, maybe made by animals or producted in another natural way, anyway? Is it the whole mankind itself, with its own way of using and abusing the planet Earth?
It does not really matter, because the problem exists (yes, global warming is REAL and it is happening) and is useless to look for someone to blame for it: instead, we need to ACT: everybody should do what is in his/her possibilities to DO something: we as humanity can still slow down the rising of temperature on the planet.
Global Warming is a dramatically urgent and serious problem. We don’t need to wait for governments to find a solution for this problem: each individual can bring an important help adopting a more responsible lifestyle: starting from little, everyday things. It’s the only reasonable way to save our planet, before it is too late
Be a responsible human and help to save mother planet earth and follow these Top Things To Do To Stop Global Warming:
1. Replace a regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (cfl)
CFLs use 60% less energy than a regular bulb. This simple switch will save big percentage of carbon dioxide a year.
2. Choose energy efficient appliances when making new purchases.
Look for the Energy Star label on new appliances to choose the most energy efficient products available.
3. Do not leave appliances on standby
Use the “on/off” function on the machine itself. A TV set that’s switched on for 3 hours a day and in standby mode during the remaining 21 hours uses about 40% of its energy in standby mode.
4. Cover your pots while cooking
Doing so can save a lot of the energy needed for preparing the dish. Even better are pressure cookers and steamers: they can save around 70%!
5. Be sure you are recycling at home
You can save big percentage of carbon dioxide a year by recycling half of the waste your household generates.
6. Recycle your organic waste
Around 3% of the greenhouse gas emissions through the methane is released by decomposing bio-degradable waste. By recycling organic waste or composting it if you have a garden, you can help eliminate this problem! Just make sure that you compost it properly, so it decomposes with sufficient oxygen, otherwise your compost will cause methane emissions and smell foul.
7. Buy intelligently
One bottle of 1.5l requires less energy and produces less waste than three bottles of 0.5l. As well, buy recycled paper products: it takes less 70 to 90% less energy to make recycled paper and it prevents the loss of forests worldwide.
8.Choose products that come with little packaging and buy refills when you can
You will also cut down on waste production and energy use… another help against global warming.
9. Reuse your shopping bag
When shopping, it saves energy and waste to use a reusable bag instead of accepting a disposable one in each shop. Waste not only discharges CO2 and methane into the atmosphere, it can also pollute the air, groundwater and soil.
10. Reduce waste
Most products we buy cause greenhouse gas emissions in one or another way, e.g. during production and distribution. By taking your lunch in a reusable lunch box instead of a disposable one, you save the energy needed to produce new lunch boxes.
11. Plant a tree
A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.
12. Buy locally grown and produced foods
The average meal in your area travels approx 1,200 miles from the farm to your plate. Buying locally will save fuel and keep money in your community.
13. Buy fresh foods instead of frozen
Frozen food uses 10 times more energy to produce.
14. Buy organic foods as much as possible
Organic soils capture and store carbon dioxide at much higher levels than soils from conventional farms. If we grew all of our corn and soybeans organically, we’d remove 580 billion pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere!
15. Start a carpool with your coworkers or classmates
Sharing a ride with someone just 2 days a week will reduce your carbon dioxide emissions.
16. Encourage your school or business to reduce emissions
You can extend your positive influence on global warming well beyond your home by actively encouraging other to take action.
17. Protect and conserve forest
Forests play a critical role in global warming: they store carbon. When forests are burned or cut down, their stored carbon is release into the atmosphere - deforestation now accounts for about 20% of carbon dioxide emissions each year.
18. Plant trees
Planting a trees in your garden, surrounding areas is a best idea for your holidays.

pizza hut and kfc
The two American food chains have been brought to the Himalayan capital by Devyani International, an associate company of India’s RJ Corp headed by Ravi Kant Jaipuria, which already has a tie-up with Yum! Brands, the Kentucky-based world’s largest fast food restaurant company that owns KFC and Pizza Hut with more than 36,000 outlets in over 110 countries.
The arrival of KFC & Pizza hut also point out how far backward Nepal is from other countries.
If these restaurants runs good in Nepal, we can also expect dominos and MAC soon.
earth ending
It appears open to interpretation as to whether December 2012 will bring total destruction or a transformation of our world. So, below are prophecies for 2012:
1. There have been three or four previous races and ages of humanity (depending upon the source you read). All of these have been destroyed in major cataclysms. December 21.2012 marks the end of this age and it will end in major catastrophes such as Earthquakes. (see commentary on this statement below)
2. For half of the katun (20 year Mayan cycle) there will be food, for half some misfortunes. This katun brings the end of the “word of God.” It is a time of uniting for a cause.
3. As we pass through transition there is a colossal, global convergence of environmental destruction, social chaos, war and ongoing Earth changes.
4. The Earth will undergo a magnetic field shift, reversing the polarity of the planet.
5. An asteroid or comet will collide with the Earth.
No One is sure what is coming in future but we must have to follow what nature wants.
2012 movie
Movie: 2012 is very nice movie based on the Predictions for 2012, Movie was released on 2009 that every one needs to watch it, but it is just another good movie thats all not real evidence.
Several 2012 movies are being made regarding the Mayan End-Time Prophecy, i will update it later…
*After reading 100s of articals on 2012 across the internet, i found NASA view on 2012 on their website, and i completly agree with them, here is what they answer on 2012 end of the world: http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/2012.html
Everything have its end so did mayan calender, end of the world or the world we know might have its end too but there is no evidence like NASA say so 2012 may not be the end.
Most people don’t know that it was not in 1903, but in the 1800s, that the Wright brothers, working with kites, had worked out the key issue for flight: control.
While other aviators searched in vain for “inherent stability,” Orville and Wilbur created a method for the pilot to control the airplane. The real breakthrough was their ingenious invention of “wing-warping.” If the pilot wanted to bank a turn to the left, the wings could be warped to provide more lift on the wings on the right side of the biplane. The brothers worked out a system for 3-axis control that is still used today on fixed-wing aircraft: left and right like a car or boat (a rudder), up and down (the 1903 Wright “Flyer” had its elevator in the front), and banking a turn as birds do (or like leaning to one side while riding a bicycle). Working with kites in 1899, the brothers figured out and tested their systems for 3-axis control, and in the next two years did experiments with gliders at Kitty Hawk, and then with their wind tunnel, to find the proper lift. They found that the formula for lift - namely the “Smeaton coefficient” that everybody had been using for over 100 years - was wrong. By the time they built their 1902 glider, they had worked out all the problems and they knew it would fly. The 1902 glider was actually the first fully controlled heavier-than-air craft, and some historians believe it was the main invention - essentially the invention of the airplane - and more important than the 1903 biplane. So it was on March 23, 1903 - nine months before the famous first airplane flight of December 1903 - that Orville and Wilbur Wright filed a patent application for a “Flying Machine.” The patent was awarded May 22, 1906. That’s when the aviation world started to copy the Wright’s designs, and from that point remarkable progress was made in the development of powered flight.
The next step from the 1902 glider was powered flight. Like everything else the Wright brothers did up to this point, they applied a scientific method: break bigger problems down into smaller ones, study as much as possible what people have discovered before, understand the principles and the theory behind the particular problem you’re trying to solve, and do some experiments to work out the particulars. For powered flight the main problem was understanding how propellers work. This was harder than it seems, as no one really understood that a propeller was nothing more than a wing that rotates on its axis, and lifts the plane forward. So, the Wrights turned to the ship-building literature and discovered that empirical principles were used, but there was no theory of propulsion. They then reasoned out the basic mental model of the propeller as a moveable wing. This allowed them to test propeller shapes in their wind tunnel, discovering an efficient shape. For their 1903 plane, they needed all the efficiency they could get.
To drive a propeller, you need a powerplant. The Wrights wanted a lightweight gasoline engine that would provide the necessary oomph. They tried to buy an engine, but no one was willing to build one to their specs. So, with the able assistance of Charles Taylor, they built their own. It was a state-of-the-art four-cylinder model. Taylor hand-tooled the crankshaft on the Wright shop lathe. Its power-to-weight ratio was better than anything around. Even still, in the words of Charles Taylor, “It weren’t much of an engine.” There was no carburator. The raw gas was just dumped into the cylinders. It was air-cooled, without even the benefit of fins. To control the engine speed, the spark could be advanced or retarded. It had the horsepower - barely - to drag the 1903 machine into the dense December ocean air. As the engine broke in the next year, it began to produce more horsepower, and better flights.
On Monday, December 14, 1903, when both the Wright flyer and the wind were ready, the brothers decided that Wilbur would take the first turn as pilot for the historic flight. Some readers might suppose that this was because Wilbur was older, or because he had taken the early lead in the project (though later there was an equalization), or perhaps because of some difference in piloting skills. It was none of these. It was decided by flipping a coin. They and the ground crew (5 lifeguards from the beach) had lugged the plane weighing six hundred pounds 1/4 mile to the big hill, laid out the 60-foot monorail, and were ready to go. After an initial problem getting it unhooked because of the slope (and the force from the propellers), the plane accelerated down the track so fast that Orville, running alongside to steady the wing by holding on to an upright, couldn’t keep up. Wilbur turned the sensitive rudder up too sharply, the flying machine nosed up, slowed, came down in that position, and the left wing hit the sandy hillside and swung the plane around, breaking several parts. Although they didn’t consider this a real flight, they now knew it would work.
Two days later, repairs had been completed, but the wind wasn’t right. The following day, Thursday, December 17, 1903, would be the historic day. They realized it would be better to lay the track on flat ground. That and the strong (22-27 m.p.h.) winds meant that Orville (whose turn it was to pilot) was riding the plane along the track, at a speed that allowed Wilbur to keep up easily, steadying the right wing as Orville had done 3 days earlier. Just after the Wright flyer lifted off the monorail, the famous picture was taken, possibly the most reproduced photograph ever, which Orville had set up (having asked one of the men simply to squeeze the shutter bulb after takeoff). The flight wasn’t much - 12 seconds, 120 feet. But it was the first controlled, sustained flight in a heavier-than-air craft, one of the great moments of the century.
The brothers flew 3 more times that day, covering more distance as they got used to the way the large front “rudder” (the elevator) responded in flight. Orville’s second flight was 200 feet, and Wilbur’s before it nearly as long. But the final flight of the day carried Wilbur 852 feet in 59 seconds.

A rare two headed snake was found by a farmer in a village in Alicante. The snake with four eyes, two tongues and two sets of eyes is not studied by Spanish scientists. According to preliminary studies, the snake can use both of its heads at the same time. Further down the line, they are trying to see if the snake has two separate digestive tracts and if a head dominates the other.
Scientists say the snake is lucky to have survived the wild. Other two-headed snakes have been found in Honduras, the United States, Sri Lanka and Argentina. Thelma, one of these snakes, is held at the San Diego Zoo on the US west coast.

The 49-year-old Nepali, who now lives in the United States, became the only person in the world to summit Everest 19 times.
Apa says his goals in climbing the 29,029-foot (8,848-meter) mountain have nothing to do with setting the world record for Everest summits, a title he has held since 1998.
“Up to the 17th time in 2007 I climbed as a professional, as part of my occupation,” Apa said, according to the Web site tracking the progress of his most recent expedition. “But last year I climbed to raise funds for a school in Thame, my village on the foot of Everest.”
In addition to raising money for Nepali schoolkids, Apa also plans to remove more than two tons of garbage from Everest.
