How To be knowledgeable!

You know friends... there is no tips and trics and magic to becoming a knowledgeable. Knowledge is the accumulation of facts, information, skills, and the ability to recall and use these resources. Here are some suggestions on increasing your own mental wealth of information.


1. Use your time with learning in mind.
                                               An hour spent on a computer may expand your knowledge of an online  game, or allow you to experience cultures and events which otherwise you might not know existed.


2. Visit the library.
                                               It may seem like an outdated notion, but libraries are a tremendous source of knowledge, and provide an atmosphere which should be conducive to study and learning.
 
3.  Keep an open mind. 
                                               When you are convinced you know something, and allow preconceived notions to block your ability to view ideas or topics in a fresh light, you limit your ability to learn. If great scientists had not questioned conventional knowledge, we would still live in a flat world at the center of the universe.
 
4.  Talk to people who are versed in a variety of topics.
                                               This might mean a computer geek at school, if you want to learn about computers, or a person you have randomly met who has credentials in a subject that interests you.
 
5.   Ask questions, then listen to the answer.
                                               If you are in doubt, keep mental notes, and check other sources. There are people who will "create" facts to impress you, or to "pull your leg".
6.   Think about unconventional ideas and information.
 
7.   Study the world from your own unique perspective.
8.   Get out of your own comfort zone.
9.   Keep journals or notes of interesting facts to expand upon them or refresh your memory of them.
10. Look at a broad spectrum of information.
11. Spend time in front of the television at educational channels
                                              or specialized channels that interest you, like Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, or home improvement, craft, or cooking channels.
 
12. Choose hobbies, and suggest that family and friends
                                              give you holiday and birthday gifts with educational value.
 
13. Look at the world around you every day with a critical, and observant eye.
14. Experiment.
15. Read the newspaper, magazines, and periodicals.

Some Quick fact about Our GLACIER

•Presently, 10% of land area is covered with glaciers.
•Glaciers store about 75% of the world's freshwater.
•Glacierized areas cover over 15,000,000 square kilometers.
•Antarctic ice is over 4,200 meters thick in some areas.
•In the United States, glaciers cover over 75,000 square kilometers, with most of the glaciers located in Alaska.
•During the last Ice Age, glaciers covered 32% of the total land area.
•If all land ice melted, sea level would rise approximately 70 meters worldwide.
•Glacier ice crystals can grow to be as large as baseballs.
•The land underneath parts of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet may be up to 2.5 kilometers below sea level, due to the weight of the ice.
•North America's longest glacier is the Bering Glacier in Alaska, measuring 204 kilometers long.
•Glacial ice often appears blue when it has become very dense. Years of compression gradually make the ice denser over time, forcing out the tiny air pockets between crystals. When glacier ice becomes extremely dense, the ice absorbs all other colors in the spectrum and reflects primarily blue, which is what we see. When glacier ice is white, that usually means that there are many tiny air bubbles still in the ice.
•The Kutiah Glacier in Pakistan holds the record for the fastest glacial surge. In 1953, it raced more than 12 kilometers in three months, averaging about 112 meters per day.
•In Washington state alone, glaciers provide 470 billion gallons of water each summer.
•Antarctic ice shelves may calve icebergs that are over 80 kilometers long.
•Almost 90% of an iceberg is below water--only about 10% shows above water.
•The Antarctic ice sheet has been in existence for at least 40 million years.
•From the 17th century to the late 19th century, the world experienced a "Little Ice Age," when temperatures were consistently cool enough for significant glacier advances.




Do You Know That!

Malaspina Glacier in Alaska is the world's largest piedmont glacier. The glacier's massive lobe is clearly visible in this aerial photograph taken by Austin Post in 1959. (Austin S. Post photograph at the World Data Center for Glaciology, Univesity of Colorado, Boulder.)

What is Blu-ray Disc?

Blue-ray or simply BD is an optical disc storage media format. Some main uses of this blu-ray disc are storage of High definition video and huge amount of data storage. The dimensions are the same as of the standard DVD or CD. It is derived from the blue laser that is used to read or write discs.

The 405mm shorter wave length allows it to store more data than DVD format that used 650 mm red laser. The capacity of a 50GB dual blue-ray is six times greater than DVD dual layer.

Computer hardware and motion picture production developed the blue-ray disc. In USA since July 2, 2008, More than 650 commercial films have been released and some 410 titles have been released in Japan.

There was a competition of HD DVD and Blu-ray disc during the high definition optical disc format war but eventually Toshiba announced to no longer manufacture the HD DVD, and the decision was followed by all those who supported HD DVD.

HDTV began to appear in the consumer market but there was no commonly accepted and rather cheap way to play or record the HD content except JV’s digital VHS and Sony’s HDCAM but it was considered that a higher storage density will be enabled by a laser with a shorter length when the blue-ray diodes were invented by Shuji Nakamura, but the commercial introduction was delayed due to some legal reasons.

Two new projects were started by Sony applying UDO and BVR. This was format of rewritable disc which would eventually become the Blu-ray disc. For the protection the earlier discs were packaged in the plastic cartridges because they were very endangered by the contamination and the scratches.

It was in February 2003 when the project was finally announced the Blu-ray disc association founded by nine initial members. April 10 2003 was the first day for consumer’s devices to be brought to stores. It was named the Sony BDZ-S77 and the first recorder BD_RE was a Japanese made device and was only available in Japan.

The price recommended was the US $ 3800 but then there was a lack of the more secure DRM system which was much needed by the pre-recorded videos and the movies and was only available in Japan.

The doctors were unable to explain her situation.
After suffering for more than 5 months,
