How to prevent AIDS?

Many people think that using condoms can prevent AIDS. But, in reality condom just minimizes your chances of acquiring AIDS through sexual intercourse.

Majority of the AIDS patients acquire this disease through sexual intercourse. In accurate words: unprotected intercourse. Hence the best way of preventing AIDS is not the use of condoms.

If you think for a while, you will come to know that there is no need of using condoms if you are having an intercourse legally. That is you do not need condoms to protect yourself from AIDS if you have intercourse with your life partner. The basic reason for creating condoms was to have safe sex with women other than ones wife without the risk of getting infected with STD’s (sexually transmitted diseases). Then how can AIDS be prevented?

According to me there is only one way of preventing AIDS. Become loyal with your partners and you will have no fear of getting infected with AIDS. This is one point which no condom company would like to tell to people. After all they want to be in business. And those people who have AIDS and are acting like AIDS warriors by promoting condoms are nothing but a bunch of foolish people who do not tell others to avoid having sex with multiple partners.

The safest and best method of avoiding the chances of getting AIDS is to be honest and loyal with your partner. Just think about it: if a girl is ready to sleep with you would she have slept with anybody else in the past? Of course! There is no way that one can say no to this fact. I personally have the opinion that god created AIDS to punish those people who are not honest with their partners. No matter how innocent you are. If you have sex with people other than your life partner it is a sin. You cannot hide anything from God almighty. If you try to maintain secrecy from your partner God will also secretly punish you!

How hard is it to stay loyal with your wife or husband? He only reason why you find something missing in your partner is because you have been trying to find faults in her. Either you become loyal with your partner or you become a pervert and die with AIDS.

Hope this article makes my opinions clear. Have loyal sex and not safe sex. In fact loyal sex is the safest sex. Have a nice day !!!!!!

Natural stress reduction techniques

The stress levels of people working in metro cities are way too high. May it be a barking boss or the headache of controlling sleazy, lazy or dumb employees. What is more surprising that Indian villagers who toil in their fields day and night never know a thing called as stress or strain. If you do not want to go to stress relieving classes and want to acquaint yourself with a few techniques which can be followed while in the office or home, follow the procedure given below.

1. Anything that hampers your peace and tranquility should be avoided.

2. Listen to soft silent music which can bring your hyperactive brain to normal conditions.

3. Rest for a few minutes after every hour.

4. One simple way to stay calm is to reduce the breath. Breathe in and hold your breath as far as you can. Hold the breath only as long as you feel comfortable with it.
5. Closing your eyes for a short while can also help a lot.
6. Stop thinking for some time. The project will continue only if you stay healthy.
7. Talk to your spouse over the phone. Talking to someone who loves you makes you forget everything for a while.
8. Imagine that you are the only person living on the planet.
9. If your boss shouts at you, imagine that he is dead and you are dancing at his funeral.
10. Do moderate Yogasana and Pranayama exercises. Do not kill yourself with them!
11. If your family life is troubling you, it is time to bring your better half a gift and spend some fun time with each other.

Do not jog. Jogging is an excellent way to increase your stress levels. Everyday jogging is not a good option from any angle. If you are really stressed out at your office you need to stop jogging and go for morning walks. But your morning walk must include walking in the grass with bare feet for at least ten minutes. It has been found that walking on green grass (and also looking at it) makes your eyes feel cool and reduces the burning of stressed eyes.

If you take to too much of walking you are going the wrong way and increasing your stress while trying to decrease it. Let me make myself clear. Jogging is a remedy for those people who are inactive and who cannot put their bodies into immediate action. Thus, if you are active enough to get stressed at your workplace you do not need jogging. And if you are hyperactive and over stressed, jogging is again a big no. People who feel fatigued while working need to bring their cholesterol levels down and hence it is advised to them to go for a little bit of jogging. A stressed person doing jogging early in the morning is exactly like an overheated pan which may catch fire.

IT Stress? Then here is the solution:

No coffee. Coffee boosts your performance for a while and acts like a mild drug which triggers your brain into hyperactive mode. But the effect does not last for a long time. And hence you find many people in the IT industries going for a cup of coffee every hour or so. Coffee makes you feel stress free and fresh for a while but it increases the stress on your stomach. Too much of coffee will increase your chances of getting gastric. But, a brain stimulating beverage makes your brain happy and keeps it active and fresh. In such cases I would suggest you to go for tea. Tea is pretty mild and is also a medicine. I myself drink 300 ml tea whenever I plan for a night-out. The only problem that you might face (if you drink too much of tea) is that you will need to rush to the tinkle zone much frequently. But a little bit of tea will cause you no such trouble and will keep your mind and body healthy and fresh all day long.

Take frequent breaks. Whenever you feel that your body needs a little rest close your eyes till the burning dies out. Sitting for five minutes without thinking will give your brain a good break and it will feel fresh and work at a faster pace. This will also give some break to your tired fingers if you type too many codes or letters everyday. Stretch out and relax your complete body for a while. You will feel much better than before. Keep your eyes more on the keyboard and less on the screen. I type dozens of articles everyday and also write HTML codes sometimes. I do most of it by looking at the keyboard. This reduces the stress on your eyes. When the whole article or piece of code is over, look at the screen and fix your bugs while compiling the program. This will increase your concentration and save most of your time and keep your stress levels quite low. If you compile your program after typing every single line, you are wasting half of your time on something unnecessary and also increasing the stress on your eyes. Type the program top to bottom and then fix the bugs. This will give you the ability to see the whole program and fix the major bugs which require more attention. When you see a whole program, you get a general idea of what you have done and you get to know the exact piece of code which has to be altered. This is a quite effective technique and works very well in reducing your stress levels.

Simple things like maintaining a straight posture and keeping the computer screen as far as possible are very effective in stress reduction. I type tons of articles everyday and have to see the computer screen again and again. My eyes used to burn a lot under the stress it was subjected to at the onset of my web journey. And I spotted the exact reason one fine day. I reduced the brightness of the monitor and the stress on my eyes was reduced by almost three times. If you are going to spend too much time with the computer screen and your keyboard, it will be a good option to reduce the brightness of your screen to around 20% in order to keep the stress levels of your eyes low. Keep the background color blue if this option is present. Blue does not create much stress on your eyes and your eyes feel happy while watching the computer screen. At other times you may increase the brightness of the screen. Though this may seem to be a headache it is a very good tip to reduce the stress of your eyes which have to fight with the harsh computer screens everyday.

Sitting as far as possible from the computer is a good way of reducing your stress. The screen should be at least two feet away from your eyes. All the computer cables should be thrown to the farthest corner. It has been discovered that Electromagnetic waves flowing across these cables can create heart problems. Hence it is also a good option to keep you mobiles in the pocket of your trousers (away from the heart).

Take your time to see green trees. The green of nature makes your eyes feel very pleasant and will slowly drain its stress levels. Use eye drops no matter what your doctor says. It is a simple thing to understand: if you use eye drops your eyes will remain stronger for a longer time which will keep you away from the optician for many years. And hence your optician will look forth to make sure that you keep visiting him again and again by saying that you do not need eye drops. This will keep his pockets happy. Simple business! So, do not listen to anybody and use eye drops. Prevention is better than cure. If possible it is advisory to buy monochromatic powerless spectacles which keep UV rays away from your eyes and also protect it from the bright monitors.

One more thing: do not let your scalp become dry. Oiling the scalp will keep your eyes cool and your healthy eyes will be devoid of stress. The stress on a person’s eye who does not apply oil to his hair while watching a computer screen is much higher as compared to the stress on a person’s eye who has oiled his hairs. Non-sticky oils will also play the trick if you hate sticky oils. But as far as I know meditation is the best technique for stress reduction. Particularly Sahaja Yoga stress reduction meditation (completely free) was a very effective technique for stress reduction. For more information on it visit www.sahajayoga.org. The best part is that it is completely free and you won’t lose a buck nor will you lose any of your precious time while doing it. Hope the above information was useful.

Stress relief

Getting stressed out is a very common phenomenon these days. Sitting in front of the computer and making your brain work for almost around ten hours a day is one of the best examples of a hectic lifestyle. What is called as a white collar job is much more difficult to handle as compared to a black collar job. But, how do you relieve yourself of all this stress.

Scientists have proved that sleep is not sufficient to relieve your mind of the stress that it is subjected to in your everyday life. Sleep may bring relief to your body, but your eyes and mind will not be able to bear the stress that they are subjected to. You need something more to shoo your stress away. But, what is this something which can evacuate your stress?

You need to absorb nature’s energy in order to relieve the stress which is pressurizing your mind. And the best way to absorb this energy is to go into meditation. But, with so many meditation techniques it is impossible to find the best one around. Some people take to Pranayama and yet others stick on with Yogasanas to relieve their stress. But of the three techniques, meditation is the most effective one. I have tried all the above methods and I know which solution works the best for relieving one’s stress. If you do not know me, let me tell you something about myself. Everyday I spend a minimum of seven to ten hours on the internet and have not met Mr.Spectacles till today! I read a lot of ebooks on the computer and use one of the most outdated LCD monitors on my computer. Some of you might have seen a few documentaries made by scientists regarding astral bodies and meditation for stress relief which are half true and half false.

It is true that meditation can relieve your mind of its stress. But there is a particular procedure for going into meditation. You cannot meditate. Meditation is the state where your mind is resting. When the mind rests it gets relief form its stress. And, the best meditating technique that I have seen so far is Sahaja Yoga meditation. You might have attended a few stress relief seminars from other Yoga maestros. But the minus point of the other Yoga’s is that they demand both time and money. Whereas, in Sahaja Yoga you need not sacrifice any of these things in order to relieve yourself of your stress. To be more specific Sahaja Yoga is a technique of getting into the state of meditation which demands only twenty minutes of time in your daily schedule. Ten minutes of meditation in the morning and ten minutes of mediation in the evening and your stress will go out of the doors and windows of your house. And on top of this I ensure you a sound sleep if you dip your feet in a trough of water containing salt water while you go into meditation at night before going to sleep. This will, must and should reduce your stress. But it requires one thing which is really very important: The photograph of H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.

It has been scientifically proved that when a patient touches the photograph of H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, the health statistics revealed that the patient was getting cured every moment she touched H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi’s photograph. It has also been proved that an infinite amount of energy flows out of H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi’s photograph. Sensors detecting energy were placed inside a box in which H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi’s photograph was placed. The measuring instrument always reached the farthest value it could ever reach. The scale was increased every time the indicator shot across the maximum limit, and every time the limit of the measuring instrument was increased the needle did not stop to show a particular value. The results were so amazing that recently a group of scientists is working on projecting the photograph of H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi on the earth using a satellite system.

The best part about Sahaja Yoga stress relief meditation is that it is free and does not ask for much time. Many seekers have got their self-realization in Sahaja Yoga and many others are joining Sahaja Yoga across all the corners of the world. Self-realization is the very first thing that you get through Sahaja Yoga. Getting relieved of stress through Sahaja Yoga is very easy and many CEO’s are practicing it today in order to decrease their stress levels. A manager practicing Sahaja Yoga is found to be tem times more patient than the one who is practicing the other stress reduction procedures. Even people following Sudarshana Kriya were found to be loosing their patience when subjected to tasks which stress the mind to its extreme limits. Even I used to follow Sudarshana Kriya before. But I lost both, money and time and gained very little out of it. It asks for a minimum of one hour from your daily schedule and seems very effective. But, I used to lose my cool very quickly and throw tantrums at everybody when subjected to immense stresses. When I came to Sahaja Yoga the first thing that I gained was control over my anger. It is anger which makes your mind feel that that you are doing a lot of work and that you are getting extremely stressed under the pressure of the work you are subjected to. But since I came to Sahaja Yoga I did not even feel that I was working. The reason was because my ego was sucked out. When we lose our ego we do not feel that we are doing any work. The reason is because when you lose your ego you miss the “I”, which was doing the work till now. And how can you get stressed when you do no work at all. H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi says that a Sahaja Yogi enters the dimension of Akarma, i.e. even if he does a lot of work he never feels as if he is doing something! And by far, this is the best way of relieving yourself of your stress. Actually you get devoid of stress when you enter into the dimensions of a Sahaja Yogi. The point is, if you are not working at all, how can you get stressed?

There are a lot of other benefits that you get from Sahaj Yoga. Stress relief is just one benefit. If you are addicted to alcohol, tobacco or even sex, you can be freed from your habits within a day. But it requires a little bit of faith. There are three states of mind: ego, super-ego and completely balanced state. A person who feels guilty all the time and thinks too much about the past, is in the super-ego state. The one who thinks too much about the future and leads a very hectic lifestyle is in the state of ego. A person who does not think and stays in the present tense is a balanced person. All the imbalances in our life are caused due to the ego and super-ego states. In the balanced state one does not feel any pressure or stress as he does not think about his past or his future. And a mind which does not think cannot be subjected to stress. For more information on Sahaja Yoga you may log-on to www.sahajayoga.org. It is a free website and is very easy to follow. The first thing you need to do is get your self-realization. And then you need to find out if there is a Sahaja Yoga center at the place where you live. Sudarshana Hriya might be effective, but, from my experience Sahaja Yoga is ten times more effective than it and takes very little time to relieve your stress. Do not forget to go to www.sahajayoga.org and get your realization. You will feel very fresh and energetic the very moment you do the exercise given in it. Have a nice day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Commanding Managers Never Win

Many managers feel that it is a good commander who is needed to make the ship of business run smoothly. But your employees are not servants. Instead, they are respectable people, and, this fact has to be understood by the managing directors. Shouting at others while sitting inside the carriage is quite easy. But when the time comes to hold the reins you will understand how coping and susceptible your workers are!

Many managing directors have stated the ill-effects of being strict and harsh towards their employees. First of all the mutual understanding and respect that you deserve will be lost. The creativity of your employees will be suppressed. Pressure will not make your workers give their best performance instead their stress levels will become very high and they will not be able to work with their full potential.

But the managers also have their own pressures which are thrown on them by the higher board of directors share holders and many others. The product has to be prepared and finished well before the submission dates. And then there will be testing and tweaking to make sure that the product does not lack quality while fighting with the limitations put forth by time. it is also a well known fact that a manager has to be commanding or else the employees will take things way too easy.

I had recently been to a hospital where the staff taking care of the supplies was happily doing the job given without letting any chances of complaints. The actual force which kept the spirits of the staff members high was the manager. There were jokes and things which did not make the staff feel as if it was doing a job. There was so much of mutual respect and coordination in the work that I was just wondering if I was seeing a dream or something likely. Whatever the work given by the manager, the staff just rushed forward and finished the work assigned in just no time. But what made these employees so active and joyful. It was the manager. I took my time to ask him about the various things that made his staff so active and joyful.

The first thing that he said was “There should be mutual coordination between the employees and the manager. A manager should be patient enough to listen to his staff members’ complaints and solve the conflicts which arise among the members of the staff during hectic schedules. The working of a company is nothing different than the working of an Indian household. The manager should make sure that the employees look at each other as members of the same family working together for the uplifting of an institution. The manager is the head of the family and the members have to discuss and settle several matters with him as all the important decisions of the institution lie in the hands of the manager.” When the employees work with such an intention in their mind there is a mutual respect among the employees for each other and they feel happy to work. Let us take a look at the following story:

John is a very strict manager. He is stubborn and nothing can make him happy. He is never satisfied with the work of his staff no matter how well it is done. Jack is a clerk in John’s office. All the staff members like Jack for his social and responsible behavior. He is regular at work and is the oldest member working at John’s office. Everybody communicate their ideas to the manager through Jack. The temperament of John did not leave many members to stay up to his expectations. One day Jack is given a very big assignment and the submission date is very near. Jack worked for too long and made the report ready within the allotted time. Jack went to the manager with red eyes and a smile on his face thinking that John would become very happy to know that he had completed the tremendous task within the time specified. He entered the cabin and submitted his report. But to his utter surprise John said, “Okay, you can go now.” Jack was waiting for an opportunity like this one. While leaving the room Jack turned back and said, “Did you say something?” John said, “No.” Jack said,”Oh! I thought you said thank you, well done.” And this incident changed the attitude of John from then onwards.

I had read the above story while I was in high school and I took my privilege to tell this story to my audience today. There was no other way I could have concluded this article. I hope the above story will make you understand what attitude actually means. Have a nice day!!!!!!!!!

What can I do with my old PC or laptop?

There is a lot more that you can do with your old computer other than throwing it away or selling it to a junk vendor for a few bucks.

If you have a very old laptop running on old Celeron wheels you can actually increase the speed of your laptop and make it run on windows 7 by using the latest SDD of 16GB. But if your laptop is not so outdated, you can actually use it to watch films or for listening to your favorite songs in which case it will be saving you the cost of a DVD player or something likely and will also be giving you the chance of tweaking the equalizer and a lot of other settings in order to suite your music style which you cannot do with a DVD player. You can use your CPU to build a Home Theatre PC. I have written a detailed article on this topic in this blog where you will find the necessary requirements and add-ons which will give you the best media experience you have ever had in your life. But what if you do not want the PC at all. There are many options from where you can choose the one which best suits you.

• Recycle: Hand over your PC or laptop to a recycling company like Attero Recyclers and you will be able to make some money out of it. Recyclers will accept your electronic gadgets without taking into account the age of your PC. At Attero they will pay you on the basis of the condition of your device. If it is working, you will get more money for your device. And in case if it is not working, it will still be accepted. In the latter case you will be paid on the basis of the weight of the device which you are submitting. Recycling is the option to be chosen if you want to dispose your PC in a proper environment friendly manner. But what if your PC is still working very nicely and that you do not want the small amount of money that will be paid to you? The best option in this case would be to donate your PC. But you need to be a bit cautious about your personal information which is stored inside your computer. Read the next point to see what I mean to say.

• Your computer will be containing a few important informations on it which you do not want to disclose to others. For example if you use the auto-sign-in feature for logging into your email-id, the browser will remember you username and password which is undesired if you want to donate your PC. Use CCleaner and clean all the internet cache, cookies etc that you can do using the software. But even now you are not safe. The best option in my opinion is to format your system (both the drives). With the booting of your system, the default browser of the system will also be booted. Thus all the default softwares will be present on the computer and your personal data will also be deleted once and for all. If you prefer using CCleaner you need to clear the private data and do a lot of other tweaks to your computer and browser. But there is one more easy solution to your problem. Reinstall the browsers that you are having (you will get free downloadable browser programs on the internet). And after doing this, manually delete all the data that is sitting in your Temp and Prefetch folders in the Windows folder (it will be present in your C drive where all the program files are kept). If you are unable to see the windows folder go to my computer>tools>folder options> view> show hidden files and folders. There is no way that your PC will not run without this folder. The two folders stated above keep a few backup files of the programs you run or install, deleting which will always be a better option if you want to give your computer away to someone. And Bingo these are the different options that you are left with for your old PC or laptop. Dell and Microsoft also recycle computers, computer peripherals as well as laptops. But I don’t think that there will be much difference in donating it and recycling it. All the companies will give moreover the same price for your E-waste by all the recycling companies present out there. In my opinion it is always a better option to donate your PC. Do not forget to clear your private data in either of the cases. Be especially careful with your Hard Disk Drive. The data contained in it will create great troubles for you in the mere future if you have stored any private data in it, which is undesired. Follow everything I have said, before giving away your old PC or laptop to somebody else.

Global Warming and Green House Effect

Global warming and green house effect are two sides of the same coin. In fact it is an increased Green House Effect which is causing Global warming. But first let us take a look at what Global Warming and Green House Effect are.

“An increase in the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere (especially a sustained increase that causes climatic changes)” is called as global warming. And “Warming that results when solar radiation is trapped by the atmosphere; caused by atmospheric gases that allow sunshine to pass through but absorb heat that is radiated back from the warmed surface of the earth” is called green house effect. There are many beautiful diagrams regarding these two topics that will pop up in the first few pages of Google. But my study is different. My readers will know a few things more than what these diagrams will show.

Let us now take a look at the conventional energy sources and a recent survey which will elaborate my point.

Let's look at China and the U.S. The Union of Concerned Scientists web site shows that, in 2006 the U.S. emitted 5902.75 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, while China emitted 6017.69 million metric tons. For the U.S., this is 19.78 metric tons per capita, while for China it's 4.58 metric tons. That makes us four times as bad, right?

This is what the developed countries are doing. A recent survey also showed that, if all the vehicles will move at a speed of 50 kmph, most of the pollution problems can be solved. What this actually means is that too much of fuel is simply wasted because of the inefficient traffic systems and narrow roads in some cases. But building flyovers is no easy job. And the amount of money put into these projects is so huge that it sometimes seems to be a waste to create flyovers. The ultimate result is: more Co2 and CO emission which leads to more pollution which leads to Green House Effect and this ultimately leads to Global Warming.

I personally think that these advanced people are the ones who will have to pay for what they have done till today. But it is observed that the fuel consumption in these countries is constantly increasing. Recent estimates have shown that the fuel under the earth’s crust will be completely extinguished by the end of 2050.the river Ganga of India is said to become dry that time which I know will not happen but it seems that some day mother nature will make man pay for his horrid deeds. We are killing our very own mother earth. If at all there will be any 2012 disaster the first victims of Mother Nature will be these people dwelling in the developed countries. But is there any way that we can actually control the Global warming?

If you do not know the result of Global warming, then let me tell you: due to global warming and Green house effect, the ice at the poles is melting and thus the water level in the oceans is increasing. Scientists have not yet discovered this but the melting of ice will actually cause a very high pressure to be imparted onto the earths crust. This in turn is going to make the earth’s surface unstable and prone to earthquakes and in worse cases: Tsunami’s. This is what God has to tell to the humans by showing him films like 2012. The sudden disaster is definitely untrue but I have recently found that gradually the condition of man kind will become so worse that humans will start killing each other in search of food. And these words are really true. I will post the article as quickly as possible, but, presently let us take a look at how we the humans can avoid the greatest disasters by showing our care to our beloved mother earth. The plan is quite simple, stop buying new vehicles and utilize the existing transport facility of buses and trains as far as possible. If you are going for a job, you will find that the above simple solution will keep you quite fresh while going to office. But it will definitely reduce the strain of driving a vehicle after finishing your job. Fighting your way through the traffic in a metropolitan city is a great headache and adds to your stress levels if you find yourself stuck in the middle of a traffic jam. Transport is quite cheap if you use these resources. Try to walk when the distances are walk able. If you start walking you will find that you will not need the Gym anymore! The ozone layer has already made the earth much exposed to the harmful UV rays of the sun. The polluted gases emitted by the vehicles trap the suns rays and keep the atmosphere hotter than usual. We are also seeing issues like acid rains corroding the walls of our famous monuments. The earth can be saved provided we humans walk on the safer path shown to us by the nature. Many trees are being cut down to resurrect a building or house, but, nobody cares to plant a tree whenever he cuts one down. a day will definitely come when every man will start planting trees to escape from the dangerous clutches of mother nature.

Try your level best to keep our planet clean and healthy. Have a nice day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Harmful Hair straightening Techniques

Many people go to parlors and get their hair straightened without even knowing the actual process which is used for straightening the hair. Usually in hair straightening various chemicals are used to obtain the desired effect. You might not have even thought of how dangerous this process might be for your hair. Your hair might be intact till you are young, but by the time you are fifty you will lose fifty percent of your hair if you go for hair straightening. You hair expert might assure you of many things, but, this fashion will make you absolutely fashion less and obsolete looking for the rest of your life.

Hair straightening is done using certain chemicals which will change the chemical composition of your hair for a while. Let me tell you what actually happens when you straighten your hair.

There are two hair straightening solutions: one is temporary and the other one is permanent (actually it is temporarily permanent). In the temporary process you hairs will be ironed by using infra red heat and negative ions that will result in frizz-free hair. But if you do not follow necessary precautions, your hair will retain its previous shape. If you straighten your hairs again and again using this hair straightening strategy, your hair will definitely get permanently damaged no matter what.

The second type is said to be a Japanese invention. In this technology, the Sulphur and even Nitrogen bonds of your hairs are broken. The reason why your hairs become curly is because these Sulphur and Nitrogen bonds inside the core of your hairs hold your hair in a particular shape as predefined by nature. So what actually happens during hair straightening is that a particular harmful chemical is applied to your hair to break and reform these bonds. In order to avoid the contact of your scalp with this harmful chemical, a board or a gel is used to cover your scalp in such a manner that the chemical does not reach the skin. Now the harmful chemicals react with your hairs and break the Sulphur bonds of your hair. Now that the Sulphur bonds are broken, your hair can be given any desired shape. At this time your hair is so delicate that it can be broken with the slightest tug it will be subjected to. Your hair dresser will know the amount of time that will be required for the chemical to completely react with your hair. After the bonds are completely broken, your hair is rinsed softly and is straightened by using certain techniques that will keep the shape of your hair straight for a few minutes. Now one more chemical is applied to your hair which will restore the Sulphur bonds. While the Sulphur bond is established in your hair, your hair will retain the position it was in while the bonds were reformed. In short this is just like removing a bent iron rod from your hair, holding it straight and stuffing hot iron solution in it which will take the present shape that your hair is held in. You will observe that the hairs of people who have straightened their hair are quite delicate and in most of the cases are already half broken.

After straightening your hair, it is advised to use a very mild shampoo (harsh shampoo will cause hairfall) and a strong conditioner (to oxidize your hair so that you can try to prevent hairfall as far as possible). And you must never ever even think of heat styling tools. However, the good news is that whichever hairs remain on your head will grow with time. And thus as the newer portion grows, your hairs will start bending as they previously did and you will retain your previous noodles like curly hair near the scalp where the new hair grows. Having curls in the hair is good as it adds to the beauty of your hairs. Let your hair grow as nature wants it to grow. After all nature knows what suits you the best and what doesn’t, doesn’t it? I sincerely suggest my readers not to go for hair straightening.

Have a nice day!!!!!

Solutions to power cuts

Are you facing a minimum of two hours of power cuts everyday? Presently Karnataka is one of the major states which is facing too many blackout problems. Almost every city and town apart from Bangalore is facing a minimum of two hours of power cuts today. But this problem has a solution. Read on to know how you can face the power cuts and keep your house lighted when the whole town goes dark.

There are too many solutions that you can possibly use in order to face the power cuts. Some are cheaper and easier to follow, whereas some are costlier, yet much more reliable than the cheaper methods.

First solution as we all know is to use generators. Many types of Generators for various needs and will be available at various prices. If you thought that Generators run only on petrol or Diesel, then you are absolutely wrong. Nowadays Generators that run on Gas are also available and that too at reasonable costs. Your Generator provider might assure you less sound but, nobody can assure you a silently working Generator. And hence it is only the commercial places where these Generators are used as their costs are low as compared to the other solutions. Diesel generators usually make more noise, even then they are being used on a very wider scale in India as the cost of Diesel is pretty low. The costs of the Generator can vary all the way from Rs. 14,000 to Rs. 40,000. But if you want a silent power solution you need to go for an UPS.

A UPS (also called as inverter) is usually a power storage device which is a silent solution to your power cut problems. But even a UPS will make some noise while working. But this sound is quite negligible as compared to the sound made by a Generator. If the temperature in the UPS becomes hotter than the rated temperature, the UPS will automatically turn its fan on till the temperature returns to normal. They are called inverters because they use the AC input concert it to DC and store it in the form of DC power. And at the time of power cut, an inbuilt incerter will convert this DC power to AC power and supply the house. As far as I know the company which is most preferred by many Indians is APC. I have heard no complaints from its users. If at all there were any issues they were about the users asking for installation guidance. The company gives you a three years warranty and boasts about an eight hour battery backup and a three year warranty on most of its UPS’s. The plethora of power ratings include:

• APC 800VA Inverter Price – Rs.14,750/- with 130AH x 1 Tubular Battery and Trolley

• APC 800VA Sine Wave Inverter Price – Rs.14,200/- with 100AH x 1 Tubular Battery and Trolley

• APC 1 KVA Sine Wave Inverter Price – Rs.26,500/- with 80AH x 2 Battery and Trolley

Buying an UPS is the smartest decision according to me. If you need the UPS for working with your PC, better ask the vendor once, if you UPS will be able to meet the supply demand of your computer. Always make it a point to tell the vendor about the main reason for which you need an UPS. Also APC says that its inverters work at low voltages and can also protect the circuitry of your house during a sudden high voltage supply.

There is one more solution, but it is so costly that I cannot recommend it to most of my readers. You guessed it right! I am speaking about solar panels. The principle is quite simple. The solar energy will be converted to electrical energy and stored. Whenever you need as extra demand of power, the solar energy will be at your help. But this is not a power cut solution. It is a complete power solution. The installation and maintenance of a solar panel is pretty simple. Do not forget to keep a backup in order to face the rain season. The vendors will do it all for you. Just make sure that you do not shell out extra money for these services. It is always a better option to ask all the panel providers about the installation and service charges and choose the best option suitable for you. But I myself personally feel that installing a solar panel on your roof is a better solution for your personal home.

Have a nice day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bollywood turns out to be a gamblers den

The trends at bollywood have changed. When I saw “My Name is Khan” I was pretty sure that it would not stay there for a longer time. I thought it would be more like a KANK performance. But it seems that people watch the film out of sheer excitement whenever Karan Johar, Kajol and SRK come together in a film and make it big at the boxoffice. It seems that people are coming to see this film just to see if they will get to see something which they saw in “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” which is an all time favorite of the Indian audience. But it seems that even politics had to do something with this promotion of this film. In my opinion, the best film that I saw recently was Rann apart from 3-idiots. But as we can see, the trends in bollywood have changed. Directors have figured out that they can make a film successful by just throwing a well reputed actor like either the trio Khans in their film. They are realizing that Indians are not seeing their film, instead, they are seeing the actors and actresses inside the film and you cannot turn me down on this one.

It has become a well known fact that there are many Khan fans in India. You might be surprised, but, on an overall scale it has been found that Salman Khan is being Googled a lot on the internet by many people even after seeing so many boxoffice flops from him! The reason is because India still lives in the past. The trio Khans are too much adored because of their previous hits which make them an all time favorite of the Indian audience. There is absolutely no reason why “Rann” should not have succeeded, if we Indians would give more weightage to the film and its story rather than the actors and actresses who have acted in it. Can you believe that “Dhamaal” did not make it big on the box-office, there was no reason why it shouldn’t have had done so. “Welcome to Sajjanpur” a low budget film was knit so precisely with so much of care and understanding and yet we Indians did not give it what it deserved. A well carved film like “Mera Naam Joker” was a great box-office flop when there was no reason why it should have had been so. Why did films like “Rang De Basanti” and “Swades” not break the record of “Kaho Na Pyaar Hai”? And, why did they not get selected for the oscars. Leave about getting selected they were not even given the chance of entering the competition. The reason is because we Indians want entertainment based films and not theme based films. The reason why 3-idiots made it big was also because of the good and well structured films in it. Patriotism provoking films will never make it big because the characters in it are Indians. When I say Indians I mean Indian dresses, Indian culture and Indian backgrounds. We are not only wearing foreign dresses, but, are also become lusty and greedy like them. In earlier India people did not like to see their daughters and wives wearing shorter dresses. But today the whole nation is dying to see films in which the girls are exposed as much as possible. This isn’t the culture of our nation. The heart of a true Indian is like the Mohan of Swades. Any foreign culture does not tempt you once you get established in the culture of our very own motherland: India. I was very happy to see a few photographs in which westerners wore Indian dresses and even applied kumkum to their foreheads and felt very happy in the Indian outfits. I saw more of such women in Sahaja Yoga and feel like thanking my mother H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi for preserving and spreading the culture of our country.

It is time that a change has to be brought in the country. But this change is possible with the help of two means. Either the media has to become sensitive and stop making useless films or, we, the youngsters have to choose the type of films which should make it big on the box-office. The directors have made the boxoffice a “gamblers den” where the producers depend completely on the lead hero for winning their bets. If the same continues we will just be seeing useless films with useful actors acting in them. Moreover it is also a decision to be taken on the side of the actors to act in films which are sensible and not in films which will increase their money in the bank. The actors have a great responsibility as they have the greatest power for making things big. A motivative film like 3-idiots gives a very strong message to the young audience and motivates them in the right direction. And, we all know that a country with a large number of youngsters being motivated in the right direction can stir things on a global level. And it is then that we will be able to see Abdul Kalam’s 2020 dream come true.

First of all the gambling at the boxoffice should be stopped and the directors should think and bring up sensational films which can shape the youngsters of our country very well. The only director who does not bother about the boxoffice while bringing new untried films at the forefront is “Ashutosh Gowariker”. We have seen his films reflecting the essence of India and Indian characters in them. We will lose films like “Lagaan”, “Rang De Basanti”, “Rann” and “Swades” to the like of “Girlfiend”, “Ishqiyan”, “Murder”,etc which are more centered towards showing bathroom cultured characters. We are becoming non-Indians knowingly or unknowingly. It is time that we should adopt a boycott movement and take a vow not to see films which do not have the fragrance of Indian culture within them. It is only then that this gambling process will come to a stop. Doing cheap publicity stunts for the sake of hyping your film is a beggars attitude. Why not release the film and leave it up to the audience to decide whether to promote the film or keep its mouth shut. Let us wait and see what the future of bollywood will be. Do not forget to give your opinion in the form of a comment below the article. Have a nice day!!!!!!!!!!

Technology In Touch screen mobiles

The following article will tell you about the different types of touch screens, their working, advantages disadvantages and also about the touch screen technology which will suit you the best.

There are many reasons why you should prefer a touch screen mobile over a mobile which does not have one. Touch screen is the finest “final-touch” applied to the mobiles by the mobile company manufacturers. There are two types of touch screens and they have their own reasons for staying in the market and being adored by the people.

Touch screen technology was first invented by Sir Jason Ford. Major work on this platform was done by Doctor Sam Hurst who developed the first touch sensor.

Different people have different needs. There are two types of touch screens and each one has its own pros and cons. One is the resistive touch screen and the other one is the capacitive touch screen. Some people like to have a touch screen which responds within the flick of a second. To such people I would recommend the capacitive touch screen. These screens work the best with the touch of your finger. The technology used in these touch screen mobiles is quite simple. These touch screens will incorporate a digitizer which is below the glass screen. Whenever you touch the touch screen, a small amount of electricity passes through your finger. Electric current flows throughout an electric grid placed beneath the glass of the touch screen. When you touch the touch screen, two conducting surfaces having different potentials are separated by an insulator: the glass of the touch screen. This causes a change in the capacitance at that spot and this change is detected by the sensors of the capacitive touch screen. The highly sensitive sensors of the touch screen send the information about the change in capacitance at a particular point to the processor. The processor identifies the location by detecting the bus which sends it the signals about the change in capacitance of a particular section of the touch screen. Thus these touch screens detect your touch very effectively and are much faster than the resistive touch screens. These touch screens are usually found on the iPhones of Apple. The best part is: your capacitive touch screen will work even if your screen’s glass is broken. The reason is because the digitizer is placed beneath the glass of your touch screen and hence a shattered glass will not render your mobile’s touch screen useless for your entire lifetime (this is true in the case of iphone users). A capacitor touch screen is said to transmit 90% of the monitor light and hence is a good option for people who love to spend a huge amount of their time with multimedia applications. But what about the resistive touchscreen? How does it work and what are its advantages?

Resistive touch screens work on a different principle as compared to capacitive touch screens. In these touch screens, there are two layers on top of the touch screen’s glass. Of these, one is a conductive layer and the other one is a metallic resistive layer. In this touch screen you can actually feel and even see the working of the touch screen technology. The two layers stated above are separated from each other by a small gap with the help of a spacer. In these touch screens you need to apply a little bit of pressure in order to bring the two layers of the touch screen into contact. When these two layers come into contact, a small current flows through both the layers of the resistive touch screen. This flow of current is detected by the processor and the location where the two layers of the touch screen come into contact is detected.

The resistive touch screen has no problems with water and dust, but it still has two major disadvantages:

• As you need to apply pressure in order to make the two layers to touch each other, the chances of the touch screen getting scratched are much high.

• The resistive touch screens transmit only 75-80% of the monitor light. This in no way means that the screen cannot give you a very high quality multimedia experience.

But the major plus point of resistive touch screens is that they are cheap and that you can use any screen protectors with them. And, even if your touch screen’s protector gets scratched, you will not find any defect in the quality of the media output. You can replace the screen protector of the touch screen whenever you want. Whereas with the capacitive touch screens you need to use very thin screen protectors which can get easily scratched if you do not handle it properly. And the sad point is that the protector screens are pretty costly. For capacitive touch screens you will need a 100% transparent conducting screen. And also mobiles having capacitive touch screens are much costlier as compared to the mobiles using the resistive touch screens. I myself use a resistive touch screen mobile and am very much happy with the results. One more problem that you will face with the capacitive touch screens is that you cannot use any stylus with these screens. If you use any other stylus, these touch screens won't work. The stylus should be made up of conducting material for the touchscreen to work. Wheras resistive touchscreens will work with any stylus and will also respond to the instructions given by your hand. If you ask me, I would prefer a mobile with a large touch screen with no separate sliding keypad. A separate keypad makes the mobile heavy and also bulky, thus stealing its style away. A mobile with a full-fledged touch screen will give you two keypads in its interface. If you hold the mobile vertically you will get the usual 12 keys’ mobile keypad and with the mobile held in the horizontal position you will get the QWERTY keypad. The keys will be well spaced and can be used easily even with your fingers with a little bit of practice (provided that you don’t have fingers the size of your leg’s thumb).

Both the above touch screens work pretty well and have their own special reasons for becoming a best choice of the people of different niche. The resistive touch screen on my Nokia 5233 works pretty well with the touch of my fingers. And hence you can trust my recommendation. I have also tried capacitive touch screens and have found them to be equally competitive. Though, it seems that mobiles with capacitive touch screens are quite heavy. Also, please note that it was only the iPhone users who said that their touch screens worked pretty well even after getting scratched. I truly do not know the case with the touch screens of other mobiles. The yet to come touch screen technology is the infrared technology which emits 100% light and eliminates the signal processing technologies used in the other touch screens because of its digital sensor outputs. So, buy your touch screen mobile today and keep on pecking the screen till you get the desired results. Have a cool day!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which Is The Fastest Web Browser?

Web browsers review: Taking a look at the various feedback given by the people, we at modern trends decided to test the most popular ultra-modern web browsers this time and came up with a few amazing results.

To our utter surprise we saw a lot of people browsing with the same old browser: “Internet Explorer 6.0” even in these modern times, that too, after being able to download the latest browsers for free. Seems that people just don't have any time to take a look at the latest modern releases of the existing browsers. But a tweak in time saves nine. So update your browsers today after taking a look at the review of all the browser performances in this article. Your browsers are tweaked, tuned, refined and remade in order to give you the best browsing experiences and there is no reason why you should not try them. Take a look at the browser tests done by us.

In our test we used Firefox 5.0.1, Opera 10.10 and Internet Explorer 8.0 browsers. Other browsers include Safari and Google Chrome both of which do not install properly on many computers. In terms of speed there is absolutely no competition to Chrome and Opera among these browsers. There is absolutely no other browser which can put Opera behind. But surprisingly we found a few reviews saying that Google Chrome browser runs faster than Opera which was later confirmed to be true! A few reviews also added the same reviews regarding the Safari browser. But what is the use if the browser does not install properly. There are too many issues with the installation of these two browsers. There are many help forums which are filled with troubled people seeking help in order to install these two browsers. And guess what 80% of the problems haven’t still seen a solution. The browser’s installer asks you to go to the list of exceptions in the firewall and add Googleupdate.exe file in it. For those who are unaware of the file location just go to C:\Program files\Google\Updates and in this folder you will find the file Googleupdate.exe.

There is one more problem that I face with the Opera browser sometimes. The images show up very quickly but look a bit blurred out. This happens if you turn on the accelerator of the Opera browser. In my test I tried to access a few pages which had heavy JavaScript codes in them. And as I said, Opera browser won the race in terms of speed but I failed in fixing the blurred images. But what about the other two browsers. Even if opera browser is the fastest one, it is always a good deal to surf with the Mozilla Firefox browser when it comes to privacy and safety. Besides there are methods using which you can make Mozilla Firefox run faster than its normal speed. The best thing about the Mozilla browser is that it ensures safety while browsing. Opera has an utility called as Opera Turbo in the browser which accelerates its speed by two to three times (that is what it says). But in terms of browsing speed it is definitely stronger than the other browsers. With Mozilla browser you can also use video accelerators and video download accelerators. IE and Mozilla browsers can share most of these plug-ins. This time Internet explorer has put Mozilla behind and is also competing very well with Google Chrome. Internet Explorer supports many plug-ins and has too many options to churn the data of any webpage at an amazing speed. Internet Explorer definitely got better with the coming of Internet Explorer 9 which made the earlier belief that it is the dumb browser designed for dumb users an oxymoron.

The table below will give the statistics of the number of people using these various browsers.

And hence, though Opera browser was faster in terms of its speed I would recommend the Mozilla Firefox browser. Opera browser is best for checking mails, whereas Google Chrome and Internet Explorer gave an overall best performance in all fields. It is said that the Opera browser uses some compression technology to download web pages at a faster rate. The speed of the Opera browser is really stunning. This browser makes you feel as if you are riding the fastest steed on this earth. If your connection is slouch, the Opera browser will give you your desired speed by using proxy servers. And on the other hand Firefox browser is a stable and completely safe browser which gives you an overall best performance. With the release of the latest internet explorer Mozilla is having a very tough time as it is lagging behind the others when it comes to speed. Whereas with the other two browsers, there is absolutely noreason why I should not recommend Internet Explorer to my readers. Safari probably can be tweaked to perform even better but the best experience was tweaking Firefox for speed improvements which just makes it getting better and better in browsing and downloading speeds. There are also a few control panel tweaks for increasing the internet speed and also a few tweaks using which Internet Explorer can be made to run much faster.

Try the latest versions of Opera, Chrome, Internet Explorer and Firefox browser and have a super fast browsing day! Recent internet survey news states that psychologists have analyzed the faster Internet Explorer being used by people who are not much sharp and technically sound. Mozilla became the browser of choice for the technical geeks for it can be tweaked to perform faster or as one likes it to.

Technology In Panama Canal

Civil works have always been adored by the common man. We have seen many beautiful buildings and structures with a strong foundation and a robust build, but, Panama Canal and Hong Kong Airport were the toughest projects ever ever undertaken by the Engineers.

The Panama Canal is a narrow shortcut which has been built to let the ships pass through it. The way the canal has been designed is just amazing. How will you allow a ship to flow across a canal where the water level on one side of the ocean is very high and the water level on the other side of the bridge is very low. This difficulty is handled by the Engineers of the Panama canal with great accuracy. If you did not watch the video documentary of this Canal on Youtube you might considering downloading it from the internet. I order to solve the above issue the canal has got a set of three gates placed at three different heights. Once the door is closed, water cannot flow across the gates. When a ship tries to go from a lower level to a higher level, the bottommost gate is closed and water is allowed to enter into the tank from the sea (which is at a higher level) through an underground pipe which connects the two troughs of water till the water in this trough created by the enclosed walls and the closed gate reaches the level of water as in the middle trough. The level of water cannot become higher than the level of water in the second trough because as soon as the level of water reaches the level of the water in the middle trough, hydraulic pressure becomes zero. Similarly now the gate of the middle level is closed and water flows into it till the level of water inside the middle trough reaches the sea level. Now the third gate is opened and the ship is allowed to pass through. Now the ship can go into the ocean whose water level is higher than the water level of the ocean from which it came. The below figure will illustrate the concept.

Another great difficulty faced by the Engineers of the Panama canal was to allow vessels of massive size with a width which is just a few inches shorter than the canal width. In order to achieve this, the Engineers decided to design two vehicles (like trams on one side each) which should be equipped with special motors which could handle the load of a heavy vessel. The vessel would be joined to the trams using strings and the ship would be pulled by the trams across the three water levels. The system is said to be so efficient that many vessels which are taken across the gates using the vehicles suffer not a single scratch (except a few cases where the vessel just grazed the walls of the canal, but the damages were negligible). Do not miss the video if you get the chance to see it.  Also Google up and see the images of Panama canal and you will be able to see the way the great vessels are taken across it. Have a nice day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hrithik Roshan’s Upcoming Films Of 2010

The dhoom2 heartthrob is out to steal the hearts of the audience with his upcoming films. Kites the much awaited film which ran through a heap of controversies is still enclosed by the controversial sphere. The latest news which has hit the streets is that Rakesh Roshan is now asking the director to cut the horny scenes in the film.  Everybody is waiting to see the twists and turns that will be introduced in the boxoffice  after the release of this much awaited film. The previous blockbuster hit “Kaho Na Pyaar Hai” brought us a series of unexpected incidents. Rakesh Roshan had even suffered the shot of a bullet.

This year the young Roshan is getting a chance to show his new face to the society. The ace actor has not shown his face in the leading role ever since the release of “Jodha Akbar”. The hot scenes of Hrithik kissing Barbara which has been showcased in youtube is catching the attention of people. It has been found that the people are anxiously waiting for Hrithik’s forthcoming films especially kites. There were also a few rumors saying that Rakesh Roshan had withheld the forthcoming films of Hrithik till the release of the film kites which was supposed to bring around a great change in Hrithik's image. The film is basically about dance and dancers. This is going to be something more than what we saw of Hrithik in Dhoom2. The audience is patiently waiting for the release of Kites, but, making the audience wait for too long is also not a good option as the audience might lose interest thereafter. We will also be seeing a sizzling hot Kangana Ranaut in the film. She has already proved what she can do in the industry through her previous films. She has handled many bold scenes with much ease and is supposed to keep the same side up in this film too.

Many controversies of Hrithik falling in love with Barbara have been reported. Some of the rumors even state that Hrithik had confessed to Karan Johar about his confused mind which was oscillating between Sussanne and Barbara. Sussanne had left Hrithik and gone to her parents’ house for a few days. Some you tube stories also showed Salman Khan advising Hrithik to stay with Sussanne. Reports also said that during the shooting Hrithik and Barbara were supposed to come out of the swimming pool, but, were found to be siding under the water for a very long time. "My Name Is Khan" failed to reach the target set forth by 3Idiots by the skin of its tooth. Furthermore Hrithik will also be found dancing on the tunes of Farhan Akhtar this year in the yet to come “Running With The Bulls”. And also, we will find Hrithik in an upcoming Ramayan film (details are given below). We will also get to see Monikangana Dutta acting opposite to Hrithik in the yet to be released film: “Guzaarish”. The competition is getting very interesting now. The question is: will Kites be able to break the record of 3 idiots. Answer this question through the poll and do not forget to leave your reply behind. Stay updated to hear more news from the film industry. Below is a list of Hrithik’s upcoming films:

• Kites: Hrithik, Kangana Ranaut and Barbara Mori

• Running With The Bulls: Hrithik, Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol

• Kismat Talkies: Hrithik, Kareena Kapoor and Priyanks Chopra

• The Legend Of Rama: Hrithik, Aishwarya Bachchan and Zayed Khan

• Guzaarish: Hrithik, Aishwarya Bachchan and Monikangana Dutta

Have a cool day!!!!!!!!!!!!
