HURRICANE

A hurricane is a type of tropical cyclone, which is a generic term for a low pressure system that generally forms in the tropics. The cyclone is accompanied by thunderstorms and, in the Northern Hemisphere, a counterclockwise circulation of winds near the earth's surface. A hurricane include a pre-existing weather disturbance, warm tropical oceans, moisture, and relatively light winds aloft. If the right conditions persist long enough, they can combine to produce the violent winds, incredible waves, torrential rains, and floods we associate with this phenomenon.
Tropical cyclones are classified as follows:
Tropical Depression-maximum sustained winds* of 38 mph (33 kt**) or less.

Tropical Storm-maximum sustained winds of 39-73 mph (34-63 kt).

Hurricane-maximum sustained winds of 74 mph (64 kt) or higher.
(This is the most powerful cyclones)

SUPERSONIC..

What is supersonic? Fighter aircraft are supersonic(so incredible.thumbs up)supersonic is a speed that is over the speed of sound.supersonic speed is approximately 344 m/s, (1,129 ft/s, 761 mph or 1,238 km/h). Speeds greater than 5 times the speed of sound are often referred to as hypersonic. Speeds where only some parts of the air around an object (such as the ends of rotor blades.cool.) reach supersonic speeds are labeled transonic.Sounds are travelling vibrations (pressure waves) in an elastic medium. In gases sound travels longitudinally at different speeds, mostly depending on the molecular mass and temperature of the gas.Since air temperature and composition varies significantly with altitude, Mach numbers for aircraft can change without airspeed varying. In water at room temperature supersonic can be considered as any speed greater than 1,440 m/s (4,724 ft/s). In solids, sound waves can be longitudinal or transverse and have even higher velocities. Supersonic fracture is crack motion faster than the speed of sound in a brittle material.

Fashion accessories.
Accessories are synonym with women life. They will feel not comfortable without wearing any accessories. Fashion accessories are decorative items such as jewelry, gloves, handbag, hats, scarves, watches, sunglasses, pins, brooch and suspenders. Accessories add color, style and class to an outfit, and create a certain look, but they may also have practical functions. Some accessories are for protection. Handbags are for carrying, hats protect the face from weather elements, and gloves keep the hands warm. Many accessories are produced by clothing design companies. However, there has been an increase in individuals creating their own brand name by designing and making their own label of accessories. Accessories may be used as external visual symbols of religious or cultural affiliation such as Crucifixes, Jewish stars, Islamic headscarves, skullcaps and turbans are common examples. Designer labels on accessories are perceived as an indicator of social status. Accessories are also available in the form of bracelets, necklaces, rings and earring. Wearing the accessories is the step to be more confident. So try to wear this accessory to make your confidence.

for this entry, I want to share about the synopsis of my favourite novel series which is Twilight. Twilight is a young-adult vampire-romance novel written by author Stephenie Meyer. It was originally published in 2005 in hardback. It is the first book of the Twilight series, and introduces seventeen-year-old Isabella "Bella" Swan who moves from Phoenix, Arizona, to Forks, Washington to live with her father, Charlie, while her mother, Renée, travels with her new husband, Phil Dwyer, a minor league baseball player. Bella attracts much attention at her new school and is quickly befriended by several students. Much to her dismay, several boys compete for shy Bella's attention.

When Bella is seated next to Edward Cullen in class on her first day of school, Edward seems utterly repulsed by her. However, over the next few days Edward warms up to her, and their newfound relationship reaches a climax when Bella is nearly run over by a fellow classmate's van in the school parking lot. Seemingly defying the laws of reality, Edward saves her life when he instantaneously appears next to her and stops the van with his bare hands.

Bella becomes hellbent on figuring out how Edward saved her life, and constantly pesters him with questions. After tricking a family friend, Jacob Black, into telling her local tribal legends, Bella concludes that Edward and his family are vampires who drink animal blood rather than human. Edward confesses that he initially avoided Bella because the scent of her blood was so desirable to him. Over time, Edward and Bella fall in love.

Their relationship is thrown into chaos when another vampire coven sweeps into Forks. James, a tracker vampire who is intrigued by the Cullens' relationship with a human, wants to hunt Bella for sport. The Cullens attempt to distract the tracker by splitting up Bella and Edward, and Bella is sent to hide in a hotel in Phoenix. There, Bella receives a phone call from James, who claims he is holding her mother captive. When Bella surrenders herself, James attacks her, but Edward, along with the other Cullens, rescues Bella and kills James. Once they realize that James has bitten Bella's hand, Edward sucks the venom from her system before it can spread and transform her into a vampire, and she is then sent to a hospital. Upon returning to Forks, Bella and Edward attend their school prom and Bella expresses her desire to become a vampire, which Edward refuses.

For your information Twilight has been adapted into a film by Summit Entertainment. The film was directed by Catherine Hardwicke and stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson as protagonists Isabella Swan and Edward Cullen, respectively. The screenplay was adapted by Melissa Rosenberg. The movie was released in the United States on November 21, 2008. So, for more infomation about Twilight, I proudly recommend you all to buy Twilight novel series or just watch the movie.
Enjoy it.

Scores of books, videos, Web sites and seminars are devoted to memory enhancement. The steps below summarize the main points of most techniques; refer to the Related Sites for more specific and detailed memory tips.

Make sure you're alert and attentive before trying to memorize anything.

Understand the material rather than merely memorizing, if it's the type that requires deeper comprehension

Look for larger patterns or ideas, and organize pieces of information into meaningful groups.

Link the new bits of knowledge with what you already know. Place what you learn into context with the rest of your knowledge, looking for relationships between ideas.

Engage your visual and auditory senses by using drawings, charts or music to aid memory.

Repeat and review what you've learned as many times as you can. Apply it or use it in conversation, as continual practice is the key to remembering things in the long term.

MINERAL WATER.....

Take Advantage of Mineral Water Benefits.

You've probably heard it a hundred times - getting your daily dose of minerals and vitamins is important for good health.But did you know that drinking clean, healthy mineral water benefits you conveniently and directly, without having to visit your pharmacy? All you have to do is pour yourself a glass of mineralized water.

Minerals have been called the "spark plugs of life." Minerals are the bodies electrical transmitters... sending electrical signals to every cell. Calcium is needed for heart action, muscle contraction, nerve impulses and, of course, strong bones and teeth. Magnesium is important for liver function, muscles, transfer of intercellular water, alkaline balance, neuromuscular activity. Potassium is needed for cell membrane potential, nerve impulse conduction, and heart rhythm. In other words, our very existence is dependent upon the body's ability to utilize minerals.

Water purification methods like reverse osmosis and distillation strip out calcium, magnesium and potassium which naturally occur in fresh water. This is why the demand for mineral revitalization water purification systems is growing. Drinking water with naturally balanced minerals instead of demineralized water just makes more sense if we want to be healthy.

MY COLOUR (Part 1)

Normally, girls will be attracted to anything that is pink, but I am excluded. I prefer blue the most instead of another colours in the earth, and pink is out of my list! Here is some information I got from the internet about the power of blue colour to make my friends understand the reason of liking that colour.
I prefer blue because it is calming and it can be strong and steadfast or light and friendly. Besides that, it is a natural color, from the blue of the sky, plus blue is a universal color. The cool, calming effect of blue makes time pass more quickly and it can help you sleep. Significantly, this colour is believed to keep the bad spirits away and also brings peace. As for me, wearing blue attire will give some confidence especially when I’m facing major examinations or presentations and this has been prove in the article which state that ‘Blue conveys importance and confidence without being somber or sinister, hence the blue power suit of the corporate world and the blue uniforms of police officers’. Moreover blue, especially darker blue, is associated with intelligence, stability, unity, and conservatism. The colour not only used in our attire, but also in some phrases.

The use of blue in familiar phrases can help a designer see how their color of choice might be perceived by others, both the positive and negative aspects.

Good blue
• True blue - someone loyal and faithful
• Out of the blue - unexpected (could be positive or negative)
• Blue ribbon - first rate, top prize
• Blueblood - person of noble birth, royalty
• Bluestocking - well-read or scholarly woman
• Bluebook - register of socially prominent people
• The Blues (capitalized) - popular style of music sometimes characterized by melancholy melodies and words
• Baby blues - Blue eyes (also see Bad blue words)

Bad blue
• Feeling blue - feeling sad or depressed
• Blue devils - feelings of depression
• The blues (not capitalized) - depression, state of sadness
• Blue Monday - feeling sad
• Baby blues - post-partum depression
• Singing the blues - bemoaning one's circumstances
• Blue laws - laws originally intended to enforce certain moral standards
• Blue language - profanity
• Bluenose - puritanical individual

Here I have done my reading about ‘YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT’. I want to share to everyone. Here are some understanding about nutrients,
1) Antioxidants ; substances that protect against free radicals, the molecules that attack cells and damage DNA.
2) Essential Fatty Acids ; used to manufacture and repair cell membranes and to produce prostaglandins, which exert effects throughout the body. EFAs must be obtained from food sources, hence they are called ‘essential’.
3) Isoflavones ; found chiefly in soy foods, these compounds can alter the action of true oestrogens in the body.
4) Phytochemicals ; plant molecules that may prevent and/or suppress disease in the human body.
5) Phytonutrient ; biologically active substances, such as ascorbic acid and beta – carotene, the plant forms of vitamins C and A, that are need to sustain life.
Thank you.

I read about X-rays. X-rays are used to detect any fracture in the human body, and also in the security checks to check for any weapons. The use of X-rays are limited as they are harmful to the human body causing disintegration of DNA and hence cancers may be precipitated. Terahertz rays or T-rays are considered harmless, that is, they do not predispose the human body to cancers and hence can be used freely. This benefit also applies at the security checks at any airports or public places where T-rays would reflect on any weapons and can be detected easily. For that matter, T-rays have an additional benefit of detecting even plastic objects which often go undetected in X-ray. Sciensists also claim that T-rays can tell the material of the item which is reflected, as it uses a technique called spectroscopy. In this new technology, every item would be reflected in a different color, so making out a particular item as harmful is easy.

T- rays are not required to be used close to the scanned item, as in the case of X-rays. It can be safely kept at a distance and scanning is done. A lot of research is going on to enhance the capacity of T-rays to use the spectroscopy at a distance.
The possibilities of T-rays are several. They can be used in the pharmacology industry to aid in detection of the contents of the medicines, used to detect tumors in a human body, aid in detecting any defect in the machines. These are just a few of the benefits.
