Tea keeps you hydrated as good as water

2010-06-20T19:24:00.000-07:00

A study has found that, Tea can be as good as water to keep you hydrated, Dietitian and Researcher Carrie Ruxton said A cup of tea is going to give you the same hydration as a glass of water.

During the study on 21 men Dr. Ruxton done pathological test of their urine and blood for amount of water and other other vital salts present in body. She finds that "men did not pass any more water when drinking tea - and may even have passed slightly less. There was also little difference in levels of sodium and other vital salts".

Dr. Ruxon also said "It's a common misconception that drinking tea can increase the risk of dehydration because of the caffeine content. But this new study proves that there is absolutely no truth behind the theory"

"Drinking moderate amounts of tea - four mugs a day - offered the same excellent hydration qualities as plain water. In addition, urine volume was similar after tea or water, confirming that we do not urinate more after drinking tea.” "Not only is a mug of tea refreshing and delicious, it can be an important part of maintaining proper hydration," Ruxton added.

Catherine Hood of the Tea Advisory Panel, which funded the research, said, "Tea drinkers can be reassured that their favourite cuppa can count towards their fluid intake without the risk of dehydration."

(following is not related to Ruxton study )
"During the Spring of 2004, the Institute of Medicine issued new hydration guidelines that now advise women to consume 91 ounces of fluid (2.7 liters or approximately eleven 8-ounce cups), and men, 128 ounces (3.7 liters or sixteen 8-ounce cups), and, different from before, all beverages count. The report also stated that available research evidence does not support the argument that caffeine leads to cumulative body water deficits. Approximately 80 percent of an individual's total water intake comes from drinking water and beverages, including caffeinated beverages, while the other 20 percent comes from food. The report concluded, then, that caffeinated as well as non-caffeinated beverages contribute to total fluid intake."

2010-06-19T00:55:00.000-07:00

The UK Top 10 Scientific Breakthrough Discoveries of all Time

According to poll conducted on 400 UK academics Discovery of DNA got the first place, in The top 10 scientific breakthrough discoveries of all Time. The online poll questioned 432 UK academics over the last month. They were asked to rate discoveries made by their peers for a poll to mark Universities Week. According to a survey of 432 UK academics the discovery of DNA is the most important breakthrough with 27 per cent of the vote.

The discovery of genetic fingerprinting got second place with 13 per cent vote. The finding was more significant than genetic fingerprinting, the first working computer and the contraceptive pill,Cancer and cell division, CDs, DVDs and the internet, Ds, DVDs and the internet, Eradicating the tsetse fly, Stem cells, Microscopic footballs.

Three breakthroughs discovery of Cancer and cell division, discovery of CD's DVD's and the internet, discovery of The Gaia hypothesis shared fifth place. While Two breakthroughs Discovery of Stem cells and discovery of Microscopic footballs shared ninth place. Full list of The top 10 scientific discoveries

1. DNA (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid)- James Watson and Francis Crick's discovery in 1953 of the double helix structure of DNA, the set of genetic blueprints or a genetic recipe, or a genetic code for all living things.contains the instructions needed to construct other components of cells, such as proteins and RNA molecules.The main role of DNA molecules is the long-term storage of information

2. Genetic Finger Printing - Alec Jeffreys' development in 1985 at the University of Leicester of a reliable way to detect differences in individuals' DNA. It also called DNA testing, DNA typing, or DNA profiling is a technique of identifying individual DNA make-up, now the basis of several national DNA databases.

3. Birth of the first working computer - Freddie Williams and Tom Kilburn, two University of Manchester scientists, are credited with running the world's first stored programme computer, a Williams tube. It was the first random-access digital storage device, and was used successfully in several early computers. It was a cathode ray tube used to electronically store binary data developed in about 1946 or 1947.

4. Contraceptive pill - developed by Herchel Smith, a researcher at the University of Manchester, in 1961. Contraceptive pills are medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of pregnancy or childbirth.

5. Cancer and cell division - in 1987, Paul Nurse and Tim Hunt, scientists for Cancer Research UK, became the first to identify the key genes that govern and regulate cell cycle and division. The cell cycle, or cell-division cycle, is the series of events that takes place in a cell leading to its division and duplication (replication).

5. CDs, DVDs and the internet - these have all been made possible through a technology called strained quantum-well lasers, which was first proposed by Alf Adams at the University of Surrey.

5. The Gaia hypothesis - James Lovelock's development of a revolutionary way of thinking about the Earth with the idea that it is a self-regulating living organism. The Gaia hypothesis is theory proposing that the biosphere and the physical components of the Earth (atmosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere) are closely integrated to form a complex interacting system that maintains the climatic and biogeochemical conditions on Earth in a preferred homeorhesis.

8. Eradicating the tsetse fly - scientists at the University of Greenwich have been working to eradicate the tsetse fly from Africa through the use of an artificial cow, which attracts the fly and kills it through insecticides.

9. Stem cells - Research by Martin Evans at the University of Cambridge led to the discovery of embryonic stem cells, which have the potential to grow into the different cells that make up the body. Stem cells are cells found in all multi cellular organisms. They are characterized by the ability to renew themselves through mitotic cell division and differentiate into a diverse range of specialized cell types.

9. Microscopic footballs - Harry Kroto at the University of Sussex, and his US collaborators, revealed that carbon can exist as tiny spherical molecules.

Buckminsterfullerene (IUPAC name (C60-Ih)fullerene) is the smallest fullerene molecule in which no two pentagons share an edge (which can be destabilizing, as in pentalene). The structure of C60 is a truncated (T = 3) icosahedron, which resembles a soccer ball of the type made of twenty hexagons and twelve pentagons, with a carbon atom at the vertices of each polygon and a bond along each polygon edge.

How an ENTERPRENEURS can be transformed into an ACHIEVERS

2010-06-15T06:15:00.000-07:00

According to the survey by Northeastern University's School of Technological Entrepreneurship Thirty-three percent of respondents launched their first venture between the ages of 18 and 30; 13 percent between 30 and 40; and only 12 percent started their first business after the age of 40. Nearly two-thirds of entrepreneurs claim they were inspired to start their own companies by their innate desire and determination, rather than by their education or work experience.

Some feel a true entrepreneur is born out of genetic predisposition. Enterprising spirit is discovered within the individual, not developed by the individual's experience. Entrepreneurship itself a 'skill' which has to there within a individual. The best of the trainers on entrepreneurship development might never have been enterprising at all. I believe that the entrepreneurship comes from the innate desire, determination and the environment around you. its true that one has to be born with it.

But Experience is the best teacher that an entrepreneur has. They can be trained only to become better entrepreneurs. But by just training any one with out this basic 'skill' to become an entrepreneur is probably impossible. Coping up with change and learning is a continuous process. They become better by experience.

There are people who are excited about entrepreneurship. Young entrepreneurs are not afraid to try anything new. But one thing to be kept in mind is that entrepreneurship is not everyone's cup of tea. Entrepreneurship brings in its own risks, one needs to be conscious of the risk appetite one has. The entrepreneur is always hungry for more, acts faster. If on the other hand, your business relationships are defined, you might be having a smoother ride. A shrinking market with more players would only be a catastrophe. Although this may not be evident, it may manifest itself in other ways. Once burnt, twice shy.

US is one of the top countries of the world which promote entrepreneurship at the highest level and the very environment of US promote the little entrepreneur inside you to come out. But in some of the countries starting your own business is very difficult due to bureaucratic policy.

Entrepreneurship is a vision, it just not that your are planning to do something, start something now, and you will be ready when the markets gets "Bullish". Although it might be easier to get into the market but you needs to be carefully understood risk factors, payment behavior, structure, value proposition of the idea and the nature of the business. look for opportunities, think and plan logically, act methodically and don't take shortcut any steps along the way.

There are 2 kinds of entrepreneurs 1)Very conservative, 2)Aggressive. firstly You need to find what kind of an entrepreneur you are or choose as to what kind of an entrepreneur you want to become. Conservative entrepreneurs would not like to take more risks in slowdowns, but Aggressive entrepreneurs take this as an opportunity to explore new things, bring in new ideas into the system which will be the guiding force for the times to come.

History has proved that mostly Aggressive entrepreneurs are the ones who succeed and Became Achievers, definitely If you don't feel those butterflies in your stomach, you're not taking a big enough risk. You'll actually be too comfortable to succeed.

Really entrepreneurship is really a hard think. Entrepreneurship is like hunting in the wild. Fear, is what will keep you going strong as an entrepreneur. Don't be afraid Just, Maintain your focus,Risk is often taken in the wrong way, it means a lot of factors needs to come together. It helps to explore undiscovered territories like(ideas, people, timings, costs, targets), Make a thorough financial planning and a back up plan just in case things don't work And once these are in place then there would be no room for Fear. It will help you solidify the position that failure will not be an option. Those who are able to break the hard and know the art and science of entrepreneurship are living on it and inspiring.

Men also want long relationship

2010-05-19T19:00:00.000-07:00

The problem with todays ,Cosmo' logically enhanced women is that they are led to believe that men just one night stand and want short term relationship, But it's not true. Not only do men want long-lasting relationship , but they also have a strong need to be a great partner as well.

As long as relationship doesn't feel a chore, a liability or a life sentence, a man will not only want to be in a healthy relationship, but he will also make the effort to keep it that way.

He will even want to stay faithful to his partner . why? because deep inside, he feels the need to be 'the man his woman can rely on'. This need subdues his inherent compulsion to cheat and strengthens his desire being a provider of being a provider and carer his desire of being a provider and carer for his wife and kids down the line.

It's true that men and women can not be entirely equal to each other in sheer terms of emotional aptitued. Yet the male capacity to love and care should not be undermined. Giving him credit when it is due can help in turning a boy into a man.

Hopefully Hopeless !!

2010-03-18T17:20:00.000-07:00

Can't really think of much good in my life, That really sums up life at the moment for me. When I am with friends they make me feel so fucking amazing about myself,but that makes me happy for a while, and some make me feel like I wasn't worth anything. But now a days most of the time i feel like the second one. Apart from 1000 times worse.

I find myself day after day sitting here at this chair in front of computer, waiting for someone to came, waiting for something to happen. I don't know what i want to happen or when it's going to happen or even if it's GOING to happen or not but still i sit here waiting for it to happen. And one day hopefully, It will or not?? The arguments with myself at home are getting worse and worser than last day and my sleeping pattern is fucked up because of them.

sometimes i feel like I am doing everything wrong, i can't do anything right. I ask the question with my self am i expecting too much?? when i got the answer as "Yes" i feel that's the reason I'm being disappointed

the people who love me are supposed to want better for things but it's to hard to be the person better than what i am now. What i just know that one day i will be successful in what i am doing, and that will flush my all past failure.

Most High-Tech Cruise Ship: Disney Dream

2010-02-27T15:15:00.017-08:00

File Under: Cruise, Ships, Most High-Tech Cruise, Disney Dream,

Disney Dream The Most High-Tech Cruise Ship:

In September 2009, Carnival unveiled its largest ship to date -- the 3,652-passenger Carnival Dream, and in the next two years cruise lines ranging from Norwegian to Disney will be debuting vessels, each more spectacular than the last.

Although the Disney Dream isn't scheduled to debut for another two years (construction began in March 2009), the ship is already garnering significant buzz for its technologically advanced features.

The ship's 150 inner cabins will have "virtual portholes" that provide a view outside the ship courtesy of a high-definition, real-time video feed. Another touch of Disney magic will be found in the ship's two main youth areas, where children can individually chat and interact with Disney characters on large screens.

The hallways of the ship will be decorated with LCD televisions that screen art of Disney characters -- if you see them moving as you walk by you're not going crazy -- they animate via motion sensor as passengers pass by. The Disney Dream will also feature a cruise amusement milestone with the AquaDuck, the industry's first ship-board water coaster. The 765-foot flume ride will take passengers on a high-speed journey through water jets, thrilling plunges, and translucent tubes that overlook the ocean waves 150 feet below.

Increase your Car Life : Can Your Car Last 1,000,000 Miles?

2010-01-19T01:29:00.000-08:00

Can Your Car Last 1,000,000 Miles?
How to Get to Super Miles and Beyond

When it comes to making a vehicle last -- I mean really last -- Irv Gordon is a superhero. The retired science teacher paid $4,150 for his 1966 Volvo P1800 when it was new (at that time it was nearly as much as his annual salary as a science teacher), and over the years he’s put 2.7 million miles on the car.

Gordon said that he spends less than $1,000 on vehicle maintenance and repair each year--and that’s averaged out to include the two engine rebuilds he’s had done over the 40-plus years of ownership.

Today a million miles, or even 500,000 miles, is still extremely unusual for a vehicle. But just as Baby Boomer aging and fitness experts are saying that 50 is the new 40, passing the 200,000-mile mark is no longer the rare occasion it once was.

Consumer Reports, through its annual questionnaire, has found that thousands of people have gone over 200,000 miles in their original vehicles without catastrophic failures or major repairs. The common thread of those who kept their vehicles, happily, to high mileage, according to CU deputy online automotive editor Jeff Bartlett, is that they started with a good car and took care of it.

Over ten years, the Subaru High Mileage Club has also gathered thousands of reports from Subaru owners who have driven their vehicles well into six digits. “It helps to have a solidly built vehicle to begin with,” said founder Rich Kahn, admitting that keeping up on maintenance and minor repairs is the most important aspect to driving a vehicle to high miles without undue expense.

In Gordon’s case, along with those of many other frugal high-mileage drivers, it likely also helped to start with a vehicle that had an enviable reputation for reliability and longevity.

Generally the less trouble-prone a vehicle is, the higher the chance it will be kept by its original owner to high miles, confirmed Bartlett, who says that owners will put up with unexpected repairs on a late-model vehicle to some degree -- especially if they like it -- but at a certain point they’ll give up if it’s cost-prohibitive. “As cars go beyond 100,000, it really becomes a concern what the cost of those repairs are,” Bartlett said.

On the other hand, if a vehicle is very cheap to maintain and repair, it might be a good choice to keep to high miles even if it’s not a standout for reliability. For instance, Consumer Reports editors were surprised to find that there were so many Ford Ranger pickups being kept to high mileage, until they realized that despite a just-average reliability record, it has one of the lowest overall maintenance and repair costs of any vehicle.

Dan Dillon, a technician for RepairPal.com, which provides repair information and price estimates, said that if you want to keep a vehicle to high miles you shouldn’t choose a high-performance model, as maintenance intervals are not only tighter but major repairs are typically more frequent.

Whenever we provide a smile which is born from our heart we give someone a reason to wonder and appreciate the beauty within our selves. Perhaps this is the part of the reason why most of the people judge others by their smile, so without shadow of a doubt our smile can tell a lot about our personality.

On the other hand, an unattractive smile can project a negative image which can affect our self-esteem. Apart from all of these facts it also true that an unattractive smile can be the biggest obstacle standing in our way to accomplish a successful social life.

The easiest way to a great smile is to be happy. When it comes to smiling, Many people are a little nervous about smiling, many people are surprisingly shy. They don't think their smile looks good, or they think that smiling makes them look unprofessional or vulnerable. But when it comes to interaction in social life people almost always respond better to a smile.

Cobra CockTail : A Snake wine, Snake Juice Liquor

2009-11-27T22:19:00.000-08:00

A Snake wine or Snake Juice Liquor is an alcoholic beverage used as a Traditional Chinese medicine. It can be found in China, Vietnam and throughout Southeast Asia. Last week when team of police along with forest policemen's made a raid in Bangalore's bars a Large amount of Snake wine, Snake Juice Liquor found to be consumed illegally. Because the cobras and other snakes are endangered species which killed in the production of Snake Liquor, it is illegal to import snake wine in many countries, included India.

How Snake Liquors Is Produced: Snake Liquors are consumed as various alcoholic beverage such as Snake Wine, Snake Vodka, Snake whiskey, etc. To Produce these liquors whole snakes is infused in prepared alcohol. A large venomous snake can be placed into a glass jar of rice wine or grain alcohol,with medicinal herbs and smaller snakes for sometimes and drink is left to steep(ferment) for months.

While for producing Snake blood wine snake is sliced along its belly and its blood drained directly into the drinking vessel filled with rice wine or grain alcohol. Snake bile wine produced through a similar method by using the contents of the gall bladder.

The snakes, are preserved to have their "essence", not for their meat. Snake in wine is preserved so that snake poison can dissolved in the rice wine, but because snake venoms (Neuro Toxic) are protein-based , its proteins are unfolded and therefore they are inactivated by the denaturing effects of ethanol, and no more dangerous.

How it is Consumed : Snake Liquors are consumed immediately after bottle opens, in the form of a shot. However Snake Blood Liquors consumed immediately in which Body fluids of snake are mixed into wine.

Medicinal values of Snake Liquors : Snakes and their tissue portions have long been considered by followers of Traditional Chinese medicine to be invaluable for the promotion of vitality and health. According to Traditional Chinese medicine Snakes are widely believed to possess medicinal qualities and the wine is often advertised to cure everything from farsightedness to hair loss, as well as to increase sexual performance contain important curative and believed to reinvigorate a person. However, many or all of these claims are based on traditional beliefs only. A similar drink is made with a geckos or sea horses rather than a snakes.

History: The drink was first recorded to be used in China during the Western Zhou dynasty (771 BC) and the medicinal use of snakes was noted in the medical manual Shen nong ben cao jing (神农本草经) compiled between 300 B.C. and 200 A.D.[2] The detailed use of various snake species, their body parts, and various preparations were greatly elaborated in the medical manual Bencao Gangmu (本草綱目) of Li Shizhen in Ming dynasty.

Snake wine can be found in many areas of Vietnam, Southeast Asia and Southern China, some Southeast Asian countries such as , Thailand, Laos Cambodia, but also in Korea, and Japan. The Huaxi street night market of Taipei, Taiwan is renowned for its snake foods and wine products.

TVS Apache RTR 180 Racing Glossary

2009-11-26T01:19:00.000-08:00

"TVS Apache RTR 180" An Indian Racing Bike

TVS Motors has recently rolled out RTR 180! The much waited and anticipated of its award winning Apache series. APACHE RTR 180 which was being developed under the project code known as Menace was launched recently creating a big revolution in the world of racing.

So i collected a some terminologies and name of some parts and technology which help you to understand what your bike have and what it need and what features TVS Apache RTR 180 posses Which make him ac omplete racing bike and successful in Indian roads.

ABS: Antilock Brake System : A component added to the motorcycle braking system that detects wheel lock up. The system rapidly modulates the brakes to prevent skidding (and attendant loss of traction), allowing the rider more braking control and increased riding safety.

Aerodynamics :Motorcycle aerodynamics refers to bike designs that have as little air resistance as possible to achieve greater speeds or to improve rider comfort. Wind tunnels aid manufacturers in their development of improved aerodynamic motorcycle models which result in the different configurations of windshields, fairings, body work and other components.

Air Cooling :
A method of dissipating heat from a motorcycle engine to keep it at operating temperature by way of air flow. In practice, cooling is effected by air rushing around a moving motorcycle engine and is aided by the use of small engine fins to facilitate heat transfer into the passing air. Compare Water Cooling.

Armor :
Protective padding used to reinforce motorcycle apparel. It is designed to absorb energy on impact to help protect the rider in the event of a crash. Armor is available to better protect a rider’s back, shoulders, chest, elbows, hips and knees.

Backing It In : Going into a corner with the rear of the motorcycle sliding while the rider is counter-steering. This is a way for a rider to scrub off speed and set the motorcycle up for a fast exit from the corner. “I was trying so hard I was backing it in to almost every corner.”

Bagger :A motorcycle with touring accessories like saddlebags, top box, a trunk, etc.

Balaclava : A thin pull-over head and neck cover with eye slits for winter usage under a motorcycle helmet.

Bash Plate (aka Skid Plate) : A protective plate fitted under the engines of off-road machines to prevent damage caused by grounding.

Bcom : Bluetooth Intercom headset for motorcycle helmets.

BDC: Bottom Dead Center : he point during crankshaft rotation at which the piston is in its lowest possible position.

Berm : Built-up dirt on the outside of a turn, either created with a bulldozer or as riders continually go through the turn. A berm helps a rider take the turn much faster because it acts as banking.

Bevel : The angle that one surface makes with another when they are not at right angles.

Bevel Gears : A pair of gears with faces cut at an angle of 45°, allowing drive to be turned through 90°.

Big Dog Rider : An experienced and aggressive motorcyclist known for feats of daring and skill, such as riding at high speeds on public roads, without apparent fear of accident or arrest.

Binders : Motorcycle brakes

Blind Corner or Blind Turn : A turn in the road that is visually obstructed and prevents the rider from seeing the path of the road around the corner. This makes the rider blind to the turning radius, approaching traffic, and road condition until after the rider has entered the turn and can then see around the trees, hillside, etc.

Block Pass : Going into a turn, a rider attempting a block pass will accelerate before the apex and slip his motorcycle on the inside of the leader, then quickly pivot and make the turn directly in front of the other rider. The rider being passed must brake because his line is now blocked.

Body English : A method used by motorcycle riders to help control lean angle or direction independent of the handlebars by moving body position on the motorcycle.

Bore : The measurement of a cylinders diameter

Bottom Out : When the suspension runs out of travel and bumps against its internal stops. “My rear suspension bottomed out over the big bump after turn five.”

Brake Horsepower (BHP) : The measure of an engine’s horsepower without the loss in power caused by the gearbox, generator, differential, water pump, and other auxiliary components. Horsepower delivered to the rear wheel of a motorcycle is less than at the engine. “Brake” refers to where the power is measured: at the engine’s output shaft, as on an engine dynamometer. The term “brake” refers to the original use of a band brake to measure torque during the test (which is multiplied by the engine RPM and a scaling constant to give horsepower).

Cage : A car, truck, van, RV or other vehicle that confines the inhabitants within an enclosed space.

Cager : The driver of a car, truck, van, RV or other vehicle that confines the inhabitants within an enclosed space.

Cam : An eccentrically shaped rotor that converts rotational movement into linear movement. Cams are used in the operation of valves, contact breaker points, and drum brakes.

Camshaft : A metal shaft with two or more cams (oval “lobes”) that rotates to operate inlet and/or exhaust valves in a four-stroke engine.

Carbon Fiber : A high-tech material available in many motorcycle applications due to its high rigidity and low weight which can allow improvements in the power-to-weight ratio and suspension response of the bike. Additionally, the distinctive look of the material has become trendy.

Carburetor : A mechanical device found on the intake side of the engine which mixes fuel and air to create the volatile mixture that gets ignited in the engine.

CC: Cubic Centimeters : A common engine size measurement for motorcycles.

CE Armor : A European system of grading motorcycle protective armor that encompasses both energy absorption capability as well as pad shape and size. The armor or pads are designed to offer added protection to a rider going down on a motorcycle, particularly in the event of sliding or lesser impacts. CE armor is made of hard foam pieces encapsulated in softer foam which compresses on impact. In other words, it’s like a helmet: if you land on it, you must replace it.

Centerstand : A mechanism that pivots down from the center of the motorcycle frame to support the bike vertically with the rear wheel off the ground.

Chain Drive : A common motorcycle drive system that uses a multi-link steel chain and toothed sprockets to transfer engine power to the rear wheel.

Chair (Sidecar) : A one-wheeled carriage for a single passenger attached to the side of a motorcycle, producing a three-wheeled vehicle.

Chaps : Motorcycle clothing accessory designed for leg protection. They’re usually made of leather and are fastened around the waist, with an open back. They snap at the ankles and zip down the legs.

Chassis : The frame and suspension systems of a motorcycle.

Chicane : A part of the track consisting of back-to-back left and right turns. Chicanes can be a part of the original track, or can be created, using cones and hay bales, to slow the riders down for safety.

Chopper : A cruiser style bike that has a lot of the pieces of the bike “chopped off.” The riders of the ’60s did everything they could to customize their bikes and make them go faster. Thus, much of the existing bikes they bought were chopped off. The bikes in the movie “Easy Rider” are examples.

Clip-Ons : Handlebars that are clamped around the top of the fork tubes, rather than bolted to the top triple-tree. This lowers a rider’s upper body on the front of the motorcycle for a racier body position.

Clutch : A mechanism for transmitting rotation, which can be engaged and disengaged. There are many different vehicle clutch designs but most are based on one or more friction discs, pressed tightly together or against a flywheel using springs. On most motorcycles, the clutch is operated by the clutch lever, located on the left handlebar. No pressure on the lever means that the clutch plates are engaged (driving), while pulling the lever back towards the rider will disengage the clutch plates, allowing the rider to shift gears.

Compression Ratio : In an internal combustion engine, the measurement of the difference between cylinder volume at BDC and TDC. This is the ratio of the maximum-to-minimum volume within the cylinder, between the piston and cylinder head, containing a combination of fuel and air being compressed. A high compression ratio results in more mechanical energy that an engine can squeeze from its air-fuel mixture. High ratios place increased oxygen and fuel molecules into a reduced space; thus, they allow increased power at the moment of ignition. Compression ratio is a single number that can be used to predict engine performance.

Contact Breaker : The spring switch in the low-tension ignition circuit that controls the timing of the spark in the high-tension circuit. Operated by a cam, contact breakers are sometimes called points.

Contracting-Band Brake\ : A brake in which a band is tightened around a rotation drum.

Counter Balancer : A weight in the engine that spins with the rpm to smooth out engine vibrations.

Counter Steering : The input a motorcyclist gives to the handlebars in order to steer: push the right handlebar to go right, or push the left handlebar to go left.

Cradle Frame : Motorcycle frame with two tubes passing under the engine

Crankshaft : The main rotating shaft running through the length of the engine. As the pistons move up and down, they work together to spin the crankshaft. The rotating motion of the crankshaft is transmitted to the gear cluster which is eventually used to rotate the rear wheel of the motorcycle.

Crash Padding : A motorcyclist’s protective clothing, especially abrasion-resistant and impact absorbing riding gear and helmet.

Crotch Rocket : A term some people use to describe a high performance sport-bike motorcycle.

Cruiser : A style of motorcycle generally equipped with a low seat and pullback handlebars. This style of bike predominantly stems from the customizing of standard American motorcycles in the ’60s and ’70s.

Cush Drive : A transmission shock absorber, usually a rubber cushion in the rear hub.

Custom Motorcycles : For many motorcyclists, the choices provided by the motorcycle manufacturers do not provide enough variety to match the personalities of the riders. For this reason, many customize their bikes or hire customizers to do the work for them. Many of these customs are entered in shows and win prizes. Customs can easily cost twice the selling price of the original bike.

Cylinder :The tube-shaped sleeves that house the pistons in an engine and where the fuel/air mixture is drawn for combustion.

Cylinder Head :A casting that caps the cylinder and contains the valves and combustion chamber.

Darker Rally : Formerly known as “The Paris Dakar” and now as “The Lisbon Dakar Rally,” or “Dakar Rally,” and also simply referred to as “The Dakar.” It is an off-road competition comprised of cars, motorcycles, and trucks held annually in January. The race is open to amateur and professional entries and amateurs typically make up about eighty percent of the participants. Founded in 1978, this endurance race runs from Europe into Africa over several thousand miles along remote routes that include hostile dunes, rocks and mud. The competition is gruelling and a number of participants have died due to injuries sustained in the race. Originally, the competition was from Paris, France to Dakar, Senegal. However, due to politics and other factors, the course, including origin and destination, have varied over the years.

Damper : Means of controlling speed of movement of the steering or suspension.

Daytona Bike Week : A motorcycle event and rally held annually in Daytona Beach, Florida. Approximately 500,000 people make their way to the rally area for the 10-day event. The festivities include motorcycle racing, concerts, parties, and street festivals. The event is usually held on the first full week of March and contends with the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally as the most popular motorcycle rally in the United States.

Desmodromic : Valve gear operation in which the camshaft actively closes as well as opens the valves.

Diamond Frame : Tubular frame design common until World War II and derived from the bicycle layout. The engine cases often form part of the structure. In profile it resembles a diamond shape

Die-Cast Controlled-Fill Aluminum Frame : Alloy frames featuring large one-piece sections constructed with a high-vacuum mold process, reducing porosity and eliminating air pockets that can result when pouring molten aluminum. These large sections are then combined with a minimum of welds, or even bolted together, to create the frame. The result is a lighter, more rigid, more finely tuned frame of higher production quality.

Displacement : The size of the engine; specifically, the total volume found in the cylinders. This is usually expressed in cc (cubic centimeters) or ci (cubic inches). Generally, the larger the displacement, the more powerful the motor.

Distributor : An internal combustion engine device which distributes high voltage in the ignition system to the spark plugs, in the correct firing order.

DOHC: Double Overhead Cam : Designation for engines that utilize one camshaft to open the engine intake valves and another to open the exhaust valves. This optimizes valve timing for better performance.

Druid Forks : Side-sprung girder forks. Druid were the original makers.

Dry Clutch : As opposed to a “wet clutch” which is immersed in a cooling, lubricating fluid, which also keeps the surfaces clean and gives smoother performance and longer life, a “dry clutch,” is not bathed in fluid that robs it of some energy. Since the surfaces of a wet clutch can be slippery (as with a motorcycle clutch bathed in engine oil), stacking multiple clutch disks can compensate for slippage. A Dry Clutch is more like the clutch found on an automobile that separates the engine from the transmission. There is a dry connection between the engine and transmission.

Dry Sump : An oil lubrication system for four-stroke and two-stroke internal combustion engines that incorporates an additional oil reservoir as compared to a wet sump system. Rather than the oil being collected in a conventional oil pan, or sump, for engine lubrication, oil is pumped into a secondary reservoir and then pumped to the engine bearings, effectively eliminating the oil starvation a wet sump system suffers when subjected to high-performance acceleration, braking, and cornering.

Dual Sport : Street legal motorcycles that provide varying levels of off-road capabilities. Not as focused as pure off-road or pure street motorcycles. Also known as dual-purpose.

Dump The Clutch : This is when a rider revs up the engine and quickly releases the clutch, launching the bike off the line.

ECU: Engine Control Unit : Controls various aspects of an internal combustion engine’s operation. ECUs control the quantity of fuel injected into each cylinder, with each engine cycle, by monitoring the engine through sensors. ECUs also control ignition timing and other peripherals. A special category of ECUs are those which are programmable. These units do not have a fixed behavior, but can be reprogrammed by the user.

EFI: Electronic Fuel Injection : A means of metering fuel into an internal combustion engine. EFI replaces carburetors as a method to meter fuel. (See Fuel Injection).

Enduro : Off-road competition against the clock and usually over long distances.

Engine Cut Off Switch : Usually located on the right handlebar switch housing, this switch allows the motorcyclist to turn off the engine without removing his or her hand from the handlebar. Also known as the “kill switch.”

Epicyclic Gear : A gear that operates around the circumference of another.

Ergonomics : The study of body posture, and the positioning of instruments, to create a good human-to-machine interface. “Good ergonomics” refers to how well a motorcycle fits a rider for its intended use.

Esses : A series of turns with quick left and right transitions.

Fairing : An enclosure on the front of the bike containing the windshield and affording wind protection to the rider. Can be attached to the frame and not move or be attached to the fork and move as the handlebars are turned.

Farkles : Motorcycle enthusiasts may install accessories, called farkles (also spelled farkels), to customize their machine. The word is generally accepted to mean a combination of “function” and “sparkle”, hence, farkle. The term is well known in the North American sport touring community. Radar detectors, Global Positioning System receivers, heated grips, and satellite radios are some of those farkles. Other accessories could be aftermarket seats or bar risers, which make the motorcycle more suitable for long miles.

Featherbed Frame : Famous Norton frame design by the McCandless brothers. It was introduced in 1950 and was given its name by factory rider Harold Daniell.

FIM: Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme The governing body of the international motorcycle sport. Originally founded in 1904, it represents 90 national motorcycle federations that are divided into six regional continental unions.

There are five motorcycle-racing disciplines that FIM covers, encompassing 34 world championships and prizes:
1. road racing
2. motocross
3. trials
4. enduro
5. track racing (combining Grass Track and Speedway)

FIM is also involved in many non-racing activities that promote the sport, its safety, and support relevant public policy.

Final Drive : Means of transmitting power to the driven wheel, usually by chain, shaft, or belt.

Fore-and-Aft Flat Twin : A flat-twin engine mounted with cylinders positioned in line with the frame.

Fork : The metal tubes that connect the front wheel to the motorcycle frame via the triple tree. For handling, the front fork is a critical motorcycle component as it allows the rider to steer. The fork, along with its attachment points on the frame establish the critical motorcycle geometry parameters of rake and trail, which in turn contribute to wheelbase.

Four Stroke Engine : The most common engine design found in street motorcycles. It refers to the number of times a piston moves up and down through each power cycle.
1. A downward stroke brings in the fuel/air mixture
2. an upward stroke compresses the fuel/air mixture
3. a downward stroke results when that mixture is ignited and expands (also known as the Power Stroke)
4. and finally an upward stroke expels the exhaust gases

Fuel Injection : A device that serves the same function as a carburetor, but uses computer-controlled jets to inject atomized fuel and air into the air stream going into the engine. (See EFI).

Gear Ratio : The gear ratio is the relationship between the number of teeth on two gears that are meshed or two sprockets connected with a common roller chain, or the circumferences of two pulleys connected with a drive belt.

Girder Forks : Type of forks common on early machines, comprising rigid beams attached to the steering head by parallel links that allowed movement.

Grand Prix Motorcycle Racing : Established in 1949 by the FIM, it is the oldest motorsport World Championship that is still in existence. Competition is held in well over a dozen countries in 5 continents. Grand Prix motorcycle racing is currently divided into three distinct classes: 125 cc, 250 cc and MotoGP. Grand Prix is French, meaning “Grand Prize.”

Greasy Track : A slippery racetrack.

Green Track : A new road-racing course with no rubber on the surface, which can be slippery. “I had to be careful during that practice session because the track was really green.”

Gypsy Tour : A motorcycle road event, usually several days in duration, in which the participants travel through the countryside and stop at a different destination each night. The implication is that you are traveling without time or distance constraints.

Hairpin : A very slow, tight, sometimes 180-degree, turn.

Helical Gear : The leading edges of the teeth are not parallel to the axis of rotation, but are set at an angle. Since the gear is curved, this angling causes the tooth shape to be a segment of a helix. The angled teeth engage more gradually than do spur gear teeth. This causes helical gears to run more smoothly and quietly than straight-cut gears. Helical gears also offer the possibility of using non-parallel shafts.

High Side : A type of motorcycle crash that occurs when the rear wheel starts to slide in a turn (sometimes due to a locked brake and the resulting skidding tire), and then suddenly grips the pavement (which could occur when letting off the brake) flipping the bike sideways. The name derives from the side of the motorcycle that the rider will separate from. If forcibly thrown over the bike, the rider is said to have dismounted on the high side.

Riders are usually advised to do a lowsider rather than a highsider if neither can be avoided. The highsider has the additional disadvantage of the rider often being catapulted into the air by the sudden jerking motion of the motorbike and the increased possibility of the motorbike sliding behind the rider with the potential of striking him or her.

Because highside accidents are so much more deadly than lowside accidents, the Motorcycle Safety Foundation recommends that if a rider locks the rear brake, it should be kept locked until the motorcycle comes to a stop. If necessary, locking the front brake to deliberately cause a lowside is recommended.

Horsepower : A unit of measurement used to describe an engine’s strength. Typically, the more horsepower an engine produces, the faster the motorcycle can potentially go. The term “horsepower” was invented by James Watt in 1782 to help market his steam engine and refers to the power exerted by a horse in pulling.

Hub-Center Steering : One of several different types of front-end suspension/steering mechanisms used in motorcycles. Hub-center steering is characterized by a swingarm that extends from the bottom of the engine/frame to the center of the front wheel instead of two forks.

The advantages of using a hub-center steering system instead of a more conventional motorcycle fork are that hub-center steer separates the steering, braking, and suspension functions. With a fork the braking forces are put through the suspension, a situation that leads to the suspension being compressed, using up a large amount of suspension travel which makes dealing with bumps and other road irregularities extremely difficult. Also, having the steering working through the forks also causes problems with stiction, decreasing the effectiveness of the suspension.

Its complicated assembly is only one of the reasons hub-center steering is implemented in relatively few motorcycle models. The telescopic fork steering system is much more commonly used.

Ignition Timing : The process of setting the time that a spark will occur in the engine combustion chamber (during the power stroke) relative to piston position or crankshaft rotation. Setting the correct ignition timing is crucial in the performance of an engine. The ignition timing affects many variables including engine longevity, fuel economy, and engine power. Modern engines that are controlled by an engine control unit use a computer to control the timing throughout the engine’s RPM range. Older engines that use mechanical spark distributors rely on inertia (by using rotating weights and springs) and manifold vacuum in order to set the ignition timing throughout the engine’s RPM range.

Knobbies : The type of tires used by supercross and motocross racers. These tires have large square knobs of rubber tread that are designed and arranged in various ways to best grab the dirt. Sometimes mechanics take knobby tires and carve them even more with a hot tire cutter–in order to help the tire pattern best match the terrain.

Low Side : A motorcycle crash that results from a wheel losing traction, allowing the bike to fall sideways. The name derives from the fact that it is usually the inward side that the motorcycle will fall on, or the side that points downward in a curve, the low side. Riders are usually advised to do a lowsider rather than a highsider if neither can be avoided. The lowsider has the advantage of the motorcycle sliding before the rider, placing it out of harm’s way.

Mag Alloy : Magnesium alloy, a strong lightweight metal used for many components, particularly wheels.

Megaphone : An outwardly tapered high-performance exhaust.

Mesh Jacket : An open-weave, protective apparel for motorcycle riders that allows air to circulate through the garment offering ventilation and cooler riding for hot, summer temperatures. Most notably used in motorcycle jackets, although also available as construction for protective motorcycle pants.

Monocoque Frame : A motorcycle frame in which the structure is made as one unit from a sheet material (ie alloy or steel). It may also include bodywork or fuel container in the structure. A Grand Prix motorcycle racing monocoque motorcycle was developed in 1967 by Ossa, a Spanish motorcycle brand. Honda also experimented with a monocoque motorcycle in 1979 with its NR500. More recently the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 sport bike was introduced for the 2006 US model year with an aluminum monocoque frame.

Motocross : Off-road motorcycle racing held on enclosed, rough circuits. Motocross is derived from the French, and traces its origins to British Scrambling competitions. The name “motocross” is a contraction derived from the words “Motorcycle” and “Cross Country.” (Also known as MX or MotoX).

MotoGP : The premier class of Grand Prix motorcycle racing. The sport combines high-speed motorcycles, which feature revolutionary technology, piloted by some of the most skillful riders in the world. It costs millions of dollars to get a MotoGP bike on the track. The bikes are purpose-built, racing machines - prototypes - that are neither available for general purchase nor can they be legitimately ridden on public roads. Engines for current MotoGP race bikes must be four-strokes with no more than 800 cc’s.

Naked Bikes : Sport or standard motorcycles with minimum bodywork, fairings or windshields. This is a motorbike in its most basic form. The emphasis is on functionality and ergonomics rather than aerodynamic body panels and exaggerated riding positions that are most common on sport bikes.

OHC: Overhead Camshaft : A camshaft in an internal-combustion engine that is mounted within the cylinder heads, above the combustion chambers, and drives the valves or lifters directly instead of using pushrods.

OHV: Overhead Valve : A type of piston engine that places the camshaft in the cylinder block and uses pushrods or rods to actuate rocker arms above the cylinder head to actuate the valves. Lifters or tappets reside in the engine block between the camshaft and pushrods.

This contrasts with an overhead cam (OHC) design which places the camshafts above the cylinder head and drives the valves directly or through short rocker arms. In an OHC engine, the camshafts are normally part of the cylinder head assembly, while in an OHV engine the camshaft (rarely more than one) is part of the main engine block assembly. Also called “pushrod engine” or “I-head” engine.

Open Cradle Frame : Motorcycle frame without tubes running under the engine. The engine unit bolts into place between the front downtube and the swingarm pivot area as a semi-stressed or stressed member.

Open Frame : Motorbike frame layout with a low structure between the seat and the steering head often associated with scooters. Also known as a Step-Thru.

Over Square : An engine with a greater cylinder bore than piston stroke.

Parallel Twin : A two-cylinder engine configuration in which both cylinders are mounted side-by-side and across the frame.

Pinion : A small gear

Pin It : To go full throttle: Reference to pinning the tachometer and/or the speedometer needle all the way to the right of the gauge. “Coming out of the last corner, I just pinned it and won.”

Pit Board : A large sign a mechanic writes on and shows to his rider as he goes past. Pit board signs can be used to show a rider’s position, how far he’s ahead or behind, to encourage him or even to remind him to breathe.

Pit Lane : The lane on the inside of the track, usually adjacent to the main straight, where riders come in to have quick work or tire changes on their motorcycles.

Pits : Where the racing teams park their trucks and set up makeshift garages to work on the bikes and house the riders.

Primary Drive : The system of transferring power from the motorcycle engine to the gearbox. Usually achieved by chain or gear.

Racing Flags : Checkered Flag - First across wins: race over
Black Flag - Rider disqualified or problem with motorcycle
Green Flag - Race start signal, race in progress when all is “go”
Red Flag - Race stopped, sometimes to be restarted
White Flag - One lap left to race
Yellow Flag - Caution, do not pass if flag is waving
Yellow and Red Striped Flag - Caution, indicates debris, fluid or hazard

Rear Sets : Racing-style footrests fitted towards the rear of the machine to allow the rider to adopt a racing crouch.

Rocker Arm : A centrally pivoted lever that transmits the motion of the camshaft to open and close the valves.

RPM: Revolutions Per Minute : A term used to describe how fast a motor is spinning. Also known as “revs.”

Sipes : One of many small incisions on a tire’s surface for the purpose of improving traction.

Slicks : Racetrack-only tires, so named because they have no tread at all, just a smooth surface so that the maximum amount of rubber grips the asphalt.

Slipper Clutches : Specialized clutches developed for racing motorcycles to mitigate the effects of engine braking when riders would decelerate as they entered corners. They are designed to partially disengage or “slip” when the rear wheel tries to drive the engine faster than it would normally. The engine braking forces in conventional clutches will normally be transmitted back along the drive chain causing the rear wheel to hop, chatter or lose traction. This is especially noted on larger displacement four-stroke engines, which have greater engine braking than their two-stroke or smaller displacement counterparts. Slipper clutches eliminate this extra loading on the rear suspension giving riders a more predictable ride and minimize the risk of over-revving the engine during downshifts. Slipper clutches can also prevent a catastrophic rear wheel lockup in case of engine seizure or transmission failure. Generally, the amount of force needed to disengage the clutch is adjustable to suit the application.

Spine Frame : A motorcycle frame with a single main structural member from which the engine is suspended. Also known as a backbone frame.

Step-Thru : Motorbike frame layout with a low structure between the seat and the steering head often associated with scooters. On early machines it was commonly called an open frame.

Stoppie : A motorcycle trick in which the rear wheel is lifted and the bike is ridden for a short period on the front wheel. Front brake control during the stoppie is essential.

Stroke : Measurement of length of piston travel in the bore, usually expressed in millimetres.

Subframe : Any auxiliary framework attached to the main body of a motorcycle frame. Typically, this refers to the rear section of the frame which supports the seat, etc. The principal purpose of using a subframe is to isolate vibration and harshness from the rest of the frame.

Superbike : A high-performance sport bike with a big engine (generally 1000cc and larger)

Supercharger : An air compressor used to force more air into the combustion chambers of an internal combustion engine which allows it to burn more fuel and results in more power. (Also known as a Blower). When the blower is driven by exhaust gas instead of an air compressor the device is called a turbocharger.

Supercross : Motorcycle racing sport incorporating high performance, off-road motorcycles on artificially created dirt tracks that include obstacles and steep jumps. Professional Supercross racing events are held within large sports stadiums.

Suspension : The system of components that reduce the impact of surface bumps and serves to keep the wheels in better contact with the road or ground, thereby improving control and traction. A typical motorcycle suspension includes a pair of fork tubes for the front, as well as a swingarm with one or two shock absorbers for the rear suspension.

Swingarm : The one- or two-sided arm (often made of aluminum or steel) that connects the rear wheel to the frame and moves up and down with the rear suspension. A two-sided swingarm could be described as a pivoted fork, as the wheel is supported at both sides.

Tachometer : A gauge that measures how fast an engine is spinning. The measurement is usually expressed in revolutions per minute

Telescopic Forks : Front suspension system on a motorcycle comprised of two fork tubes which contain coil springs. The tubes “telescope” up and down to absorb road bumps. This is the most common form of motorcycle fork commercially available.

Timing : Measurement of the exact instant when the valves open or close in an internal-combustion engine, or when the spark occurs. It is normally expressed in degrees or millimetres before TDC

Torque : A unit of measure describing the twisting force, or leverage, an engine can exert on the rear wheel. Typically, an engine with a lot of torque will have the potential to speed up faster at lower RPM’s.

Track Day : Organized events in which members of the public are allowed to ride motorcycles around established racing circuits. Criteria for being eligible to participate is usually the holding of a motorcycle licence and the payment of a fee.

Trail : The distance from the front axle’s vertical position on the ground, to the spot in front of it created by drawing a straight line from the angle of the forks. (Compare Rake). Trail is often cited as an important determinant of motorcycle handling characteristics.

Upside-Down Forks : Telescopic forks that are installed inverted compared to typical forks. In this case the slider tubes are at the bottom and the heavier bodies are at the top. This decreases the unsprung weight of the motorcycle and improves its handling. Also known as inverted telescopic forks.

Valves (Intake and Exhaust) : Poppet valves within a four-stroke cylinder head that open and close to allow fuel/air into the combustion chamber, and open and close to vent the burned gas. Four-valve cylinder heads can more efficiently pump fuel/air in and pump spent gas out, increasing performance.

V-Twin : Two-cylinder engine layout in which the cylinders form a “V.”

Water Cooling : Also known as “liquid cooling,” this system includes a radiator and fluid to dissipate heat. Liquid is constantly circulated between the radiator and motorcycle engine cylinders when the engine is operating. A small fan (controlled by a thermostat) has a cooling effect on the liquid passing through the radiator. Water-cooled bikes are less likely to overheat, compared to air cooled engines, especially when traffic may be slow or jammed, which minimizes the heat transfer of rapid air circulation that air cooling provides.

Wet Clutch : A clutch that contains many plates that are in the oil spray of the transmission and the oil gets between the plates. The plates on wet clutches have a tendency to stick together when the bike sits. So, when you start the bike in the morning, before you put it in first gear to move off, depress the clutch lever for about 30 seconds to allow the oil on the plates to drain off and the plates to separate. Otherwise, you’ll get a decided clunk and slight movement forward when you put it in first.

Wet Sump : As part of the lubricating system of an internal combustion engine, a wet sump is a built-in oil reservoir at the base of the engine. From there oil is pumped into various engine bearings and then drained back down to the sump.

A benefit of a wet sump, as compared to a dry sump, is its simple internal design, using a single pump with no external reservoir or connecting hoses or tubes which may leak. On the other hand a wet sump is unsuitable for high-perfomance applications, such as racing through corners, where the oil may slosh around inside the sump and briefly deprive the system of oil which could damage the engine.

Wheelbase : The horizontal distance between the ground contact points of the front and rear wheels. Wheelbase is a function of motorcycle frame length, steering axis angle, and fork offset. Wheelbase has a major influence on the longitudinal stability of a bike (along with the height of the center of gravity). Short bikes are much more likely to perform wheelies and stoppies and have the quickest handling characteristics. On the other hand, a motorcycle’s straight-line stability improves with longer wheelbase. For example, sport bikes have a shorter wheelbase and tourers have longer wheelbases.

Wheelie : An act of raising the front wheel of a motorcycle off the ground and keeping it in the air while continuing to ride the bike.

How Animal Spend Winter, How animal prevent himself from cold

2009-11-24T07:08:00.000-08:00

You have so many ways to avoid cold, but what about the animals - birds, Crabs, How animal spend winter? How animal prevent himself from cold in winter? Have you ever thought it? No need to put more pressure on the brain. Animals - birds defend themselves in the cold bye certain ways like "Migration", "Hibernation". These are natural methods, accepted by itself with the changing weather.

"Migration":In winter season migrant bird of the other countries make their home at shore of lake and river birds and when cold wheather is ended they start returning to their Home place. Some birds travel a long way from one continent to another continent. Some species like Mammals, bat, whale, etc. get to those places where the weather is hot, when winter started. Thus, to go from one location to another location, to prevent from cold is called the "migration".

"Hibernation": In winter to avoid cold weather many animals underground or live in caves inactively for a long time, it is s a time when animals ‘sleep’ through cold weather.The animals conserve energy, especially during winter when food is short, tapping energy reserves, body fat, at a slow rate by this process. This particular process is called "Hibernation".

In fact, in winter days certain changes happened in the body of Animals. Their body temperature falls, breathing becomes slow. Their physical energy is reduces. That's why these animals eats a large amount of food and store energy in fat deposits, in order to survive the winter. The animals get their winter nests, dens and burrows ready and collect additional meals to consume in winter season, before winter begins. If we talk about bears, in normal its heart beat is 40-50 beat per minute , which fell to 8-12 per minute during Hibernation in winter season. During this time bear can survive, without eating for six months. Although bears do not go into "true hibernation".

However, there are some cold blooded animal for which it is hard to keep their body warm.Cold-blooded hibernators will wake up when the air outside warms or cools enough for them to be comfortable. Some cold-blooded hibernators are: Bees, Earthworms, Frogs and toads, Lizards, Mud Turtles, Snails, Snakes.Snake or Reptail group species go for hibernating in holes(dens) to avoid winter and wait for a change of weather. Animals such as turtle and frog dig holes or find cracks in logs or rock areas.

Warm-blooded hibernators do not sleep straight through the winter. Some of these hibernators also store food in their caves and burrows. They wake up once in awhile, walk around a little, and eat before they go back to sleep. Some warm-blooded hibernators are: Badgers, Hedgehogs, Bats, Nighthawks, Chipmunks, Poor-Wills, Dormouse, Prairie Dogs, Fat-tailed lemurs, Raccoon, Ground squirrels, Skunks, Hamsters, Swifts, Marmots, Groundhogs, Woodchucks, And bears. The animal has to have enough food stored to last the winter. Many animals die because they can't get enough food stored. It means they find the ways and take the effective measures to survive in the adverse weather.

2009-11-22T01:51:00.000-08:00

Looking healthy hair in winter, care is necessary to keep hair healthy According to weather . In the summer where you are like to wash hair every day and normally likes to keep tied, But wash hair every day in the winter would not be possible. from In winter if you keep hair opening then you are inviting moisture with pollution, seems to settle down on the skin of the head. Hair follicles on the skin of the head are closed and start to feel highly oily or dry. How do you balance that so that hair waving more likely silk? Let's us see:

1. The main problem of hair in winter is hair breakage. It does not belong to hair care, but it depends on the fact that what you are wearing to avoid cold winds. Due to wearing wool Hats, warm hat, scarf, often hair entangled in between neck wrap and dress, and breaks . So instead of silk or satin scarf Choose Wool Cap.

2.Equipment to be used for heating, inside or outside the house can cause dry hair. So use extra deep conditioner to stay away from dray, harsh hairs. Use it once a week. Use a hair product which can maintain the hair moisture level.

3. To make hair dry or styling and do not make a mistake to use iron, blow dryer or coloring. But also note the fact that before wearing scarves or caps they are completely dried up.

4. If you keep hair tied, and make Juda or top-knots in winters they survive from the effects of wind chill . -Jawed Habib

Sunday is Funday

2009-11-05T11:56:00.000-08:00

"Sunday is Funday"

Recently, researchers from the University of Vermont has an interesting research. Research says that every day of the week brings something special offering, as well as special instructions for the day too. To learn which day of the week is more liked, and for any specific work which day is good or bad, mathematicians reads 2.4 million blogs and Internet messages and analysis is done to count these positive and negative words present for that day. and after that The study mathematicians concluded following:

Monday :

Well -it is a good day to invest in the stock market. It Is observed that the direction in which shares are going on Monday, on Friday they go on same direction. This forecast is much easier to find.
Bad - worse thing with Monday is that most deaths from heart attack happened on this day. As it is more deaths on Monday.

Tuesday
Well - Tuesday is a good day to update blog pages, as on this day the most hit on blog pages are recorded.
Bad - the worst day to love. The lowest on this day are made. As lowest no. of relationships are made on this day.

Wednesday
Well - The best day to demand increment in salary. On Monday's bosses are busy in planning for the week while on Thursday and Friday, they start planning for weekend.
Bad - The worst day for driving. Most traffic accidents are on Wednesday.

Thursday
Well - A very good day to leave smoking, Because on this day man will is very strong.
Bad - nothing wrong with researchers was not found any bad thing linked with this day.

Friday
Well - Friday is the best day to release/remove someone from the job or responsibility. On this day many bad things does not hurt/deeply hurt peoples.
Bad - the world's most dangerous earthquake came on the same day. Gujarat earthquake, also came on Friday in which around 30 thousand people Killed.

Saturday
Well - Saturday is a good day for giving birth to children. Researchers found that most prime ministers in Britain was born on this day. Since 1900 6 out of 20 prime ministers from Britain born on Saturday.
Bad - Saturday is bad day for those who drink. The number of patient Admitted in hospital on Saturday due to alcohol Poyjning 66% more.

Sunday
Well - Sunday is the most pleasant. Sunday can also be called as Funday. A good day to Interact with People. Most people only choose Sunday for openning their personal e - mail too.
Bad - The researchers didn't found any bad thing with sunday.

2009-10-09T07:36:00.000-07:00

However For many People Goa being all about sun 'n' sand in lap of sea the "beach capital of India". But many people fail to look beyond the beaches of Goa and miss out on many interesting things. In early September, which is when I landed here, the sun is mostly in bed and the sand is a wet blanket. But a whole new set of sights and surprises await those who visit the state in the 'off-season'.

So what else is in goa to see beyond the beaches this question has an elaborate answer. There are so many things to do in Goa that one can't imagine.

Sightseeing: From lively flea markets to designer shopping malls, Goa is indeed a collage of exciting contrasts. Sightseeing tours and excursions are also among the must do things for visitors to Goa.

Dudhsagar Waterfall: At the edge of western Ghats you can discover the magnificent Dudhsagar Waterfall, located on the Goa-Kartnaka border, measuring 600m from head to foot, Dudhsagar Waterfall also called as “sea of milk”, makes your experience superb.

Dr. Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary : This will be a fantastic experience and I would recommend it if you were a birdwatcher. Even if you're not, I would still recommend it as it was such a wonderful, extremely tranquil and interesting experience!

Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary: A National park, Nature reserve, Goa has Asia's well known Wildlife sanctuaries. Explore the mysteries of forest and spot wild open animals while your visit to Bhagwan Mahavir Sanctuary. You can enjoy the thrill of Goa through trekking the jungle and cool off in the plunge pool at the foot of the Dudhsagar Falls. About a third of Goa's total land area is still covered by forests. Besides forests, much of the remaining landscape is covered with plantations. Coconut, cashew and jackfruit grow in abundance.

Carambolin Lake: Other important picnic spot are Carambolin Lake which boasts of enormous amount of waterfowl and exotic species. It is the ideal place for bird- watching. For more fun and frolic visit artificial Mayem Lake. It has provision for pedal boats for kids. Kesarval spring is regarded as a medicinal fall. People take bath and get cured of skin infection and allergies.

River Mandovi: One of the musts in Panaji is the river cruise on the river of Mandovi, especially the one towards dusk, you can see the sun sinking ever so slowly into the Arabian Sea.. if you are in luck, the occasional dolphin can be sighted.

Forts In Goa: While in Goa your eyes can not escape the Portuguese connection the state holds close to its heart. There are many things in this kaleidoscopic state of India to see and relish. But when it comes to basking in the past glory, then forts in Goa are surely the best option. and it has much to offer.

Fort Cabo da Rama is located on the southern coast of Goa, this fort has been under the regime of various rulers until the Portuguese took it over from the Raja of Sonda in 1763. It came under the British rule from 1797 to 1802 and then again from 1803 to 1813. After that, not much attention was paid to the fort. The remains of the fort were then used as a prison until 1955.

Fort Chapora The Portuguese had won their rule in Goa but the threat from the Muslim and Maratha rulers went on. To protect themselves from this risk, the Portuguese built the Chapora fort in 1617. However, the Portuguese completely abandoned the fort In 1892. And what remains today are only ruins. Though, there isn't much to see, the history lingers on.

Fort Aguada
Fort Aguada is strategically situated at the estuary of the river Mandovi, this fort was constructed in 1612 as a guard against invasions from the Dutch and the Marathas. The walls of this fort are 5 mts high and 1.3 mts wide. Little surprise then that this remains to be the only fort that was not conquered by any invaders during the 450 yearlong rule of the Portuguese empire. "Agua" in Portuguese means water, thus the fort derived its name "Aguada" to denote a place where water is accumulated.

An interesting feature in the majestic fort is a 13 mt high lighthouse. This lighthouse, built in 1864, initially used an oil lamp. It was later renovated and modernised in 1976. This lighthouse was home to a gigantic bell that was retrieved from amongst the ruins of the St. Augustus monastery at Old Goa. However, the bell has now been moved to the Our Lady of Immaculate Conception church at Panaji. Though the entire fort is no longer intact, some buildings that are still in good shape have been converted into a prison. Interestingly, it happens to be the largest prison in Goa.

Fort Terekhol situated on the Terekhol River, lies on the northern tip of Goa, on the hillock overlooking the Arabian Sea.
Every monument and fort in Goa is associated with some telling tale. To say it laconically, forts in Goa are the quintessence of serene beauty and charm. Goa forts boast of different streaks. Some Goan forts have Portuguese influence in their structure whereas some have Hindu and Muslim influences. However, the remarkable part of these forts in Goa is that they have stood the test of time and bear testimony of the glory of past times While in Goa you cannot miss out the forts that stand mute testimony to the state's golden past.
