Alcohol-Good R Bad (Bottle 2)

Continuation of Bottle 1

Uses of alcohol
Many are saying that alcohol does have so many ill effects that may cause to us, when we consume it. But even though it is said that alcohol is very hazardous to our health, they also have some benefits it we intake it in a small amount. In many countries especially in cold countries, alcoholic beverages are commonly consumed at the major daily meals (lunch and dinner). In some of the places drinking alcohol in a very small amount is used as one method of avoiding water-borne diseases such as cholera. Even many had done the research and they also says that drinking alcohol will also lowers some risks like heart attack, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, stroke and also an increase in overall longevity of life. Thus these points ensure that the alcohols also have a good side of face. But this will not say that drinking alcohol is always good for our health. Because it has some a bad effect on it’s another side of face too. Those who look on to that side of face will not recover from it very easily.

Alcohol-Good R Bad (Bottle 1)

As we all know, many people are addicted to the habit of drinking. The only reason for it is, after they consume it will give some kind of mental satisfaction to the body and enjoyment too. Many know the ill effects of drinking habit and its causes to the society. But actually, Alcohol! What is it? It is just a drinking substance that is made up of mixing both natural and chemical products. Drinking will help us to relax our mind, but drinking it more will create some bad effects on our body. This is the explanation that is given by all, when we ask about alcohol. We will about the alcohol from technical point of view like its composition, mixture and many more. Technically speaking, an alcohol is a drink that is containing ethanol. This is a chemical product, which will cause more effects on our body and health if we intake it more. This is true and it is applicable to anything, which we in take into our body. Everything should be under a control and of it crosses that, and then we will lose our life. It is also called as a drug which will addict us, and thus we can’t able to live without it. Using alcohol can give us both good and bad result to our health. But the majority of people say that it is very injurious to health and it is also true.

Vijay Mallya

An famous industrialist from India named Vijay Mallya had acquired the belongings of Mahatma Gandhi by placing the winning bet of Rs 9.3 crore at a New York auction.The bidding for the items stopped at $1.8 million, but with commission it came for around $2.1 million. This is not the first time that Mr Mallya has bought a part of Indian heritage at an auction. In September 2003, Mr Mallya had bought the sword of Tippu Sultan at an auction in Londion.

Some Indian Govt's confusion is there in this deal with Mallya. Indian Govt. is stating that Mr Mallya is just the representative from govt. side to buy the belongings of Gandhi. But Mallya is refusing the matter and says that he bidded and bought the things in auction of his own interest. Anyway an Indian bought the things and saved the Indian heritage from its loss. Hats off to Mr Mallya.

Futureviews: September Blows

This is Futureviews (foo-too-reh-voos), a segment where I review movies that haven't come out yet...and then gloat quietly to myself as you inevitably agree with me...ain't I a stinker?...

Happy September, everybody...well, sorta...September is one of those lame months of the year, where you're not quite used to the academic routine but it's in full swing...the weather sucks (i.e. Hurricane Ike being sorta outside my window)...and the choices as far as the box office goes are both broad but limited...assuming of course you have enough common sense to avoid things like Bangkok LAMEgerous...not to say I haven't liked Nicholas Cage in some of his movies (i.e. The Wicker Man), but come on...if you've already seen Wanted, there's no point in checking this one out...

Anyway, on to the heart of this post...INGEST MY BASELESS OPINIONS, NOW!...


Burn After Reading - George Clooney, Brad Pitt, the cop from Fargo, and John Malcovich in a Coen Brothers film...need I say more?...

Watch! That! Shit!


Righteous Kill - Sounds like a topic I should debate with my paladin, but it's a movie with Robert of Niro and Al Pacino investigating a series of murders...having seen 88 Minutes about 88 times, I've lost any flavour I might have for this kind of movie with Pacino in it...it's an okay movie, about as good as Vantage Point...

I'm not going to watch it, but if you've got nothing better to do, go ahead...


Tyler Perry's The Family That Preys - Now, I haven't watched any of Tyler Perry's work...I hear it's all fairly hit or miss and I haven't really had any interest in any of them before this one...the trailer makes it look like a solid drama, though reading the synopsis worries me when I find out that a good portion of the film is dedicated to the matriarchs going on a cross-country road trip...that ain't my kinda deal, but I'm still going to give it a glance despite my reservations...

It's worth a look...


The Women - It's The Last Kiss with more chicks and less Zack Braff...if I know my readers at all, y'all are as uninterested as I am...if I'm wrong, remind me to reprimand you next time I visit...

Not even a combination of sex, Reeses pie, and 8-hours of D&D could make me watch this film...


Ghost Town - Mediocre comedy...like The Sixth Sense except the main character is actually alive for most of the movie (and Dumbledore dies and Vader is Luke's father and it was Colonel Mustard with the Lead Pipe in the Library)...probably just as funny too (I laughed)...

I'm not gonna watch it, but it wouldn't be a bad decision to do so...


Lakeview Terrace - This movie is not a work of fiction...we all know Samuel L. Jackson is a badass in every way imaginable (FUN FACT: Did you know that Scorpions on a Ship is the first production Jackson has turned down a role in since he was asked to play a Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard in a high school play?)...shoot, some of you may have even thought to yourselves "Golly! Wouldn't it be great is Samuel L. Jackson was my neighbor?"...

Well, you're wrong...this is not a work of fiction...it's a documentary...may it serve as a warning to you all...


My Best Friend's Girl - I feel sorry for Jason Biggs...American Pie both made and destroyed his career...however, he has served us well be acting as a harbinger for bad romantic comedies...

Plus, Dane Cook is lame...don't watch this...it's not going to be good...


Eagle Eye - I love Shia LaBeouf...he is one of those few actors who simple cannot be in a bad movie...he's a young actor, but that's still a great accomplishment...plus, Billy Bob Thorton?...shit, yea!...he's way too good an actor to be in some of the movies he's been in...but he still does quality work...

Watch this one!...


The Lucky Ones - Rachel McAdams, Tim Robbins and Michael Peña go on a road trip...I generally don't like road trip movies...they tend to blow...especially with 2 dudes and a chick...

Unless of course, you're traveling through Limbo...don't watch this...


Miracle at St. Anna - I generally enjoy Spike Lee's work...Do The Right Thing is one of my all-time favorite films...and this looks like it'll be no exception...I am most definitely going to see this film...the trailer gives me this nice creepy feel that I don't often get (unless I'm watching Gurren Lagann, in which case I'm in Constant Shivgasm Mode)...looks to be a WW2 drama with a hint of supernatural mystery and probably some attention called to racial divide...

Maybe we'll see some folks that aren't black or italian in this one...go watch...


That's it for this month...tune in again in October for another barrage of biased, but accurate Futureviews!...

No cPosture

You can now stop worrying about the way you look while sitting, for iPosture a small gadget, which can be stuck on the skin and buzzes to remind the wearer to sit up straight, helping improve posture, has come to your rescue. The revolutionary device vibrates discretely when the wearer slouches by more than three degrees for one minute. Once the posture is corrected the buzzing stops and users have been found to adopt better habits after wearing the device for four hours a day for up to a month. The iPosture gadget can be worn while sitting, standing or walking, making it ideal for workers who spend hours in front of a computer and can be stuck to the skin, worn as a necklace or attached to a bra strap. It uses a slimline battery like those found in most watches or calculators and monitors posture every few seconds. It may be bought on the Internet for 50pounds. Thus it helps the people to sit straight… This is a boon for all who likes to sit in iPosture… So make use of it…

Vacuum cleaner

Scientists have invented a specially-equipped robot vacuum cleaner that can sense human emotions. The scientists say that the Roomba robot vacuum cleaner uses a special headband to capture bio electric signals from the forehead of a human user, and then infers stress from muscle tension readings.
The system involves a control software programme that reinterprets natural muscle tension as estimating the user's stress level, they add.
"Two distinct robotic behaviours corresponding to two extreme emotional states, either relaxed or stressed, are triggered when the stress reading reach a threshold. Robot actions are then influenced by these stress readings. When a person shows high stress (~levels 3 and 4), the robot enters its cleaning mode but moves away from the user so as not annoy them. When a person is relaxed (~level 1), the robot (if cleaning) approaches the person and then stops, simulating a pet sitting next to its owner. If the reading is in between these two levels, the robot continues operating in its current mode until the stress reading reaches a threshold," New Scientist magazine quoted the researchers as saying.
Telling about the unique feature of this system, the researchers said that the robot's behaviour is controlled by human emotion instead of any explicit commands.
Thus this vacuum cleaner is a real well equipped robot.

New searchengine

The day is not far when an online search engine would be giving netizens direct answers to their queries rather than web pages containing them, if researchers are to be believed. It is hoped that, to build a grand metasearch engine one day that would integrate all of the one million small search engines into a single system. There are still a lot of significant challenges in creating a system of such magnitude, but I am optimistic that such a metasearch engine can be built.

Save and protect...

Thanks to the acceleration in global warming, the Arctic Ocean will lose its ice cover in the next 30 years, says a new study, and not in 100 years as scientists had predicted earlier. New research suggests the Arctic Ocean is already edging towards this grim reality, as the ice cover during summers could shrink to a mere million square km from the existing 4.6 million sq km. So much more open water could be a boon for shipping and for oil and mineral extraction from the seabed. But the flip side is it could trigger upheaval of the ecosystem. Therefore try to save the world from getting spoiled, through global warming.

Mokele-mbembe

Hi friends, here it is an interesting topic about an unknown animal to you…… It is nothing but Mokele-mbembe: meaning "one who stops the flow of rivers" in the Lingala language, is the name given to a large water dwelling cryptid(name of its grouping) found in the folklore of the Congo River basin. It is sometimes described as being a living creature and sometimes as being a spirit.

Several expeditions have been mounted in the hope of finding evidence of the Mokele-mbembe, though without success. Efforts have been covered in a number of books and by a number of television documentaries. The Mokele-mbembe and its associated folklore also appears in several works of fiction and popular culture.

According to the traditions of the Congo River basin the Mokele-mbembe is a large territorial herbivore, approximately the size of an small elephant or a large hippopotamus. It dwells in the Congo river and the surrounding swampland, and has a preference for deep water, with local folklore holding that its habitat of choice are river bends.

Descriptions of the Mokele-mbembe, by some legends describe that, it as having an elephant like body with a long neck and tail and a small head. It has been first seen and reported in the year 1776(march) and last sighted by Eugene Thomas in the year 1989 at the congo river basin.

This information tells that, the dinosauras family is still living on the earth. Since it is an herbivores, lets hope it will not eat the mankind……

Rainforest

The Amazon River Basin is home to the largest rainforest on Earth. It covers some 40% of the South American continent and includes parts of eight South American countries: Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, and Suriname, as well as French Guiana, a department of France.


Reflecting environmental conditions as well as past human influence, the Amazon is made up of a mosaic of ecosystems and vegetation types including rainforests, seasonal forests, deciduous forests, flooded forests, and savannas. The basin is drained by the Amazon River, the world's largest river in terms of discharge, and the second longest river in the world after the Nile. The river is made up of over 1,100 tributaries, 17 of which are longer than 1000 miles, and two of which (the Negro and the Madeira) are larger, in terms of volume, than the Congo (formerly the Zaire) river. The river system is the lifeline of the forest and its history plays an important part in the development of its rainforests.

How large is the Amazon rainforest?
In Brazil, the Amazon covers surface area of 4,100,000 square kilometers (1,583,000 square miles), of which around 3.4 million sq km (1.3 million sq mi) are presently forested. Accounting for parts of the Amazon outside of Brazil, the total extent of the Amazon is estimated at 8,235,430 sq km (3,179,715 sq mi). or comparison, the land area of the United States (including Alaska and Hawaii) is 9,629,091 square kilometers (3,717,811).

In total, the Amazon River drains about 6,915,000 square kilometers (2,722,000 square miles), or roughly 40 percent of South America.

To date, at least 40,000 plant species, 3,000 fish, 1,294 birds, 427 mammals, 428 amphibians, and 378 reptiles have been scientifically classified in the region.

Many mammals, still not known are also living in this forest. But deforestation taking place in these area’s will surely affect the life of these mammals. So Amazon should be protected from deforestation, otherwise the result will be very bad
