Science and Violence in American Dramas

‘Violence in American Dramas’ is becoming as a popular topic in America. And I would like to share some of my thoughts on this topic.

For example CSI: Miami, CSI: Newyork (They are separating crime zone wise, may be perhaps the offender may have special type of attacking), Law & Order: special victims, Cold case files, FBI files, NCIS, Burn Notice, True calling and the list goes on. Also, Numbers and Bones which are considered as more special dramas (according to myself) because of the technique they use, to identify the criminals. It is all about the extreme intelligence of two persons who are really with unimaginable talents in numbers. I mean in seeing things through physics, math and also by applying new theories.

For example in one episode of Bones, the scientists have to separate the bones that messed up with some flush, without further damaging the bones which is already crushed by an accident. oh my…oh my…But they separated it successfully by using some insects which eats only flush but not the bones. I have only one doubt at this point…they are keeping the car with that crushed body at the center of their working place, and my doubt is what would the insect do after eating the flush, won’t it move to the other places like to their seats or to their Tiffin boxes…Director should clear this type of doubt…And they found 87 fractures in the skull, and identified the criminal, by the 87^th fracture. She really would have undergone so much pressure to reassemble the damaged skull. And, they are explaining everything about the fracture by 3D animations. They have some specific name for this method, but I found really hard to keep it remember. You can ask me why in the world you see these dramas and then commenting on this. See, basically I am interested in science and I would really like to know how they are applying science in various fields. So do others, I think. I don't want to comment about 'NUMBERS' because it is very far from normal human's knowledge.

It doesn’t mean that there are no dramas for family or children. But the negative things influences easily than the positive ones. It’s up to the people preference anyways, but if your mind is accumulated by these kinds of things without your knowledge it may probably lead you to the dark path. So, consider these things and take further steps to protect the next generation.

Earth Gets Billion-Year Life Extension

We all know that there is always a speculation whether there is life except earth in cosmos. Also, how long the earth will support life...There are so many factors which affects life in earth...and climate is the important one among that...one might have known about green house effect, methane gas emission, chloroflurocarbon reaction in ozone that makes hole and allows radiation in earth atmosphere...The life in earth is determined by the heat where the above said reactions come into play...

Scientists King Fai Li and his colleagues at Caltech says that Earth’s atmospheric pressure always vary and will protect the earth from frying by its fall in future. And this theory support The Earth could be habitable for another 2.3 billion years, extending previous estimates of life’s horizon by more than 1 billion years. Good news..Right..

If the new idea proves correct and can be extended to other planets with biospheres, it could increase the chances that earthly civilization finds extraterrestrial life by doubling the percentage of time that planets could be inhabited.

“The Earth will be identifiable as an inhabited planet for nearly half the total lifetime of the Sun, an important point to consider in the search for life on extrasolar planets,” the authors write in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

So by calculating atmospheric pressure we can tell the nature of climate..but unfortunately it has gone uninvestigated in the past...but scientist are now trying to calculate atmospheric pressure by size of gas bubbles in sea...smaller bubbles mean lower pressure, larger ones mean higher and by investigating set of basalt rocks from 2.7 billion years ago in Northwestern Australia...

So, the study of how overall variation in atmospheric pressure may have affected past and may affect future climate could be relevant for understanding climate change on the billion-year time scale.

Rarebookroom

I was searching for information that would help the viewers not only now... but forever….while surfing internet I came across this website where they have stored rare information’s.

The "Rare Book Room" site has been constructed as an educational site intended to allow the visitor to examine and read some of the great books of the world. Like, Shakespeare’s first edition poems, Franklin experiment and observation on Electricity.

The site contains books of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Isaac Newton, Lewis Carroll author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Ludwig van Beethoven, Charles Darwin author of Zoology of the Beagle. These are few examples…We can see the original book of these authors with some wears and tears…not a typed one...

They have categorized books under Art, Medicine, Religion, Mathematics, Astronomy, Exploration, physics and etc. ‘Octavo’ a company digitally photographed these books with high resolution so that viewers can read easily.

Hope this would help you too…

Dora the Explorer

Dora the Explorer is an animated television series that is a wonderful show for children. It's perfect for pre-schoolers and toddlers. The lessons are hidden in Dora's adventures and not force fed. Another one of the best parts of Dora the Explorer show is the bilingual aspect. Characters speak both English and Spanish. Dora's adventures are fun and interesting, with an emphasis on sharing, compromise, and interactivity.

This is a brief introduction about ‘The Dora explorer’ cartoon show. But they are marketing this cartoon character in various forms like wall papers, children’s toys, Bicycle, Back bag, online games, puzzles, and crafts.

Dora the Explorer became the first Hispanic character in the 79th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on 2005. Years before this cartoon, in 1971, English group Stackridge released a single entitled Dora the Female Explorer.

This cartoon character is famous in USA, UK and Australia. Children’s especially girls like this character and want to be like that. They want to use this character in every form. Dora the explorer song is available in CD’s. There is Books, Posters and DVD’s which spreads its fame. Also they are selling Dora character printed stationeries.

Other characters include Dora's parents whom she calls Papi and Mami and her grandmother. There is also Dora's cousin Diego who rescues animals that are at risk and who also accompany her during her quests.

Also I wanted to add some of online cartoon, game websites where we can play different games. This is not only for children but to elders also. After all, every person has his inner child.

Cherry Blossom Festival

Yoshino Cherry (Prunus x yedoensis) a gift from Japan to Washington D.C. during 1912 starts blooming on April of every year. This blooming is celebrated as cherry blossom festival by resident people. Original trees were planted by First Lady Mrs. William Howard Taft and the Vicountess Chinda of Japan.Today more than 3,700 cherry trees of several varieties grow around the Tidal Basin, at East Potomac Park, and on the Washington Monument Grounds of Washington D.C

H1B-2010

This post is about American IT sector and Indians. Let us see where Obama stands in H1-B issue and do they really in no need of Indians.

H1-B is a program which started in 1990, was set up to allow U.S. companies to import the best and brightest in technology, engineering, and other fields when such workers are in short supply domestically.

Does Obama support H1-B and green card program? Yes, he is. We can see this by various activities of Obama. When he was a Senator during 2007, he proposed some amendments which gave importance to keep immigrant families together and recommended for a system to ease the verification process of immigration eligibility and he introduced 'Citizenship Promotion Act' which would help to reduce the immigration application fee. Thus, the 12 million undocumented immigrants who are expected living now in United States can get citizenship legally, in achieving immigration reform.

According to one report published in October, one-in-five visa applications are either fraudulent or flawed. Some companies try to shell themselves by H1-B. The great example is a Virginia based company which also operates in India as an offshore centre requiring $1.7 million to pay 343 employees!. Obama wants to stop the employers from abusing the system and their workers.

Obama support raising H1-B visas and he did so by passing an immigration bill during 2007. One can ask if this is possible in this recession period. The answer is Yes. Like, if any US company wants to hire an outsourcing vendor then they will be in need of US workers as well.

Obama wants to ease the process of getting green card and he also states that "We should allow immigrants who earn their degree here to stay, work and to become an American".

The following statement made by Barrack Obama and which is turned now a subject of discussion in his own blog itself.
"Senator Obama has refused to directly address tech workers who have been displaced by H1B. He also refused to co-sponsor the “The H-1B and L-1 Visa Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act of 2007" from fellow Illinois Senator Dick Durbin".

Also, This March 20th, 2009 Indian CII delegation which include the top CEO's of Indian corporate companies met Barrack Obama's administration officials in Washington on H1-B visa issue. And they were assured that there would not be any setback to allow programmes unless or otherwise it affects US workers.

"As long as economic growth is off the table, immigration reform is off the table," said by one official. "There is limited space on the legislative agenda, and immigration isn't at the top now," said by Attorney for the National Council of State Legislatures.

Being myself as eyewitness, I could say that many H1-B and L1 visa holders are going back home as their project is ended and there is no more extension of project. Pathetically who went their home on vacation are refused to come back to US during their immigration check at Airport.

Will there be rush in H1-B 2010 like 2008 and 2009? It is really difficult to say..since there are so many unemployed engineers and consultants are there...there is no need of H1-B this year i think..But Infosys and Wipro are going to hire higher number compared to American firms.This is only my assumption..

No one can refuse Indian's contribution in American IT sector. Microsoft, Google, IBM even in Lehman Brothers’ they have played vital role.. An estimated 3000 Indians which are just under 10 percent were working for Microsoft in Washington State. President Obama says Indian's and Chinese are well educated even though they had less facility compared to US. And he said "America should train youngsters to meet their needs in job including IT, Nursing section etc., American people cannot be coaxed to do this or that. They are very independent in their strides. Politicians cannot change them. Even if they start now itself it will take 20 or more years to reach our advanced position and we Indians will be in unreachable position in technology at that stage. American mistakes are so many in the past. What is positive about them is that they will realize their mistakes and do more to reconcile them. As for Indians, we have proved our worth all over the world. We cannot go on expecting others to come to our rescue.

As Dr A. P. J. Abdul Kalam said "A developed India by 2020, or even earlier, is not a dream. It need not be a mere vision in the minds of many Indians. It is a mission we can all take up - and succeed." Let our former President's dream come true.
The day will come when we allow foreign workers seeking jobs in our country.

Yes, We can.

6th sense

I wanted to share this amazing video which proved once again the power of technology.

This is all about a wearable device with a projector that paves the way for profound interaction with our environment.

Pranav Mistry is a PhD student at MIT's Media Lab and passionate about integrating the digital informational experience with our real-world interactions and Pattie Maes researches the tools we use to work with information and connect with one another.

I'm sure, If this device is available in the market we cann't tell it's usefullness in words. Hats off to the team.


And we all know that this is only the cutting edge technology but not the edge of human mind.

America The Great

This is my first post and hope i can share some of my experience and thoughts with others.

From my childhood i was taught that America is the powerfull country and rich in resources. Is it still? In the past few months itself we could see so many drastic changes in their economy level. So many major industries closed and some were waiting for government funding. Sales in chain stores like wal-mart reduced 2% and in Target, Costco which is a whole sale store 4% and Macy's 11% with 11 stores closing all across the America. Totally 73,000 stores closed in this quarter of 2009. And people who were working in those stores lost their jobs and joined in jobless queue. IT section people also not escaped in this economy Tsunami. Employers ending their jobs and sending back their employees to home.

America depending other countries for so many things since it has money power it is not worrying them...things for home, baby, office are imported from China...fruits, vegetables and other stuffs from all around the world...so the cost of living becomes higher in America...They are really spending more money on that....but Americans not worried for that...but it worried other people who went there in the dream of making more money...

It is obvious that America can not run without other countries help. But if they wish they could generate all the needs by themselves...which in turn can create more job opportunities......What i want to share is is that America concerns only on their natural resources...does it really want to protect their environment equilibrium ...and does it really care about other countries and their loss of natural resources...
