Kilauea, USA

kilauea, the world’s most active volcanic mass, located on the southeastern part of the island of Hawaii, Hawaii state, U.S. The central feature of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Kilauea (“Much Spreading” in Hawaiian), is an elongated dome built of lava eruptions from a central crater and from lines of craters extending along east and southwest rifts, or fissures. The volcano’s 4,090-foot (1,250-metre) summit has collapsed to form a caldera, a broad shallow depression nearly 3 miles (5 km) long and 2 miles (3.2 km) wide with an area of more than 4 square miles (10 square km). Kilauea’s slopes merge with those of the nearby volcano Mauna Loa on the west and north.|

Kilauea is bordered by Mauna Loa volcano (west and north), the Ka‘ū Desert (southwest), ‘Āinahou Ranch (south), and a tropical fern jungle (north-northeast). The littoral Ka‘ū Desert consists of barren lava, crusted volcanic ash, and moving dunes of windblown ash and pumice 10 to 30 feet (3 to 9 meters) high. The Thurston Lava Tube, a 450-foot (135-metre) tunnel east of the caldera, was formed when a lava stream’s outer crust hardened while the molten lava continued its flow.

Visovac Monastery

The Visovac Monastery (Croatian: Samostan Visovac) is a Catholic (Roman Rite ) monastery on the island of Visovac in the Krka National Park ,Croatia . Visovac was settled by Augustinian monks, who established a small monastery and church dedicated to the Apostle Paul in the 14th century. In 1445 the Augustinian monastery was enlarged and adapted by the Franciscans  who settled here having withdrawn from parts of Bosnia with other, ordinary people, when the Turks had taken over there. A new monastery was built in the 18th century. The rich monastery library includes particularly rare incunabula of Aesop`s fables (Brescia 1487) printed by the Lastovo printer Dobric Dobricevic (s. Lastovo), a collection of documents (the sultan'sedicts) and a sabre belonging to Vuk Mandusic, one of the best-loved heroes of  Serbian epic poetry.

Biggest Brain Damaging Habits

1.  NO BREAKFAST

people who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2. OVER REACTING

it causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to decrease in mental power.

3.SMOKING

it causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4.HIGH SUGAR CONSUMPTION
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5.AIR POLLUTION
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our human body . Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.



6.SLEEP DEPRIVATION
sleep allows our brain to rest .Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.

7.HEAD COVERED WHILE SLEEPING
sleeping with head covered ,increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decreases concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects .

8. WORKING OUR BRAIN DURING ILLNESS

Mysterious

WHITE HOLES

One of Albert Einstein’s greatest accomplishments was the proving, though mathematics, the existence of black holes. From the advances in technology, we now have been able to find several black holes, and believe one to be at the center of our very own Milky Way galaxy. What is more is astonishing, however, is what Einstein also proved through his equations; white holes also exist. The exact opposite of black holes, white holes are believed to “spit out” an incredible amount of matter from seemingly nothing. Such an object should be easy to find, yet none have been. If one was found, it may help us explain other unknown mysteries, such as where the material that made the galaxies came from.

Spider for Cloud Computing

The new Spider Computer by Swedish designer, Nikolaus Frank, gives the mobile computer user a smaller and lighter option for travel. This small device relies on a projected screen and laser keyboard to offer you a ready computer on the go. It relies totally on the “cloud” factor and even doubles up as awkward phone.

Its three legs can easily be folded out, allowing it to be placed on a flat surface. Storing all your data on the Cloud, it reduces the amount of electronics you need to take with you. Digital correction compensates for angular differences in projection versus surface.

Working prototype was made for technology, user studies and research. When you fold it up, it also works as a mobile phone . It can be carried in your pocket and brought anywhere.

Development and Release

According to Imangi Studios, Temple Run 2 was under development since March 2012 and was developed by Imangi's small creative staff. Imangi stated that the main purpose of Temple Run 2 was to make the game similar and "familiar" to the original game, however to introduce new elements to the game and create a redeveloped experience.

Ipone Camera Apps

1.
Camera Genius has been around since 2009 -- a long time in the app world. The developers of this $3 camera app have updated it again and again over its life, hitting version 4.3 in February of 2012. Camera Genius is a jack of all trades. It adds additional shooting options, like a full-screen shutter button and time stamping. It adds sharing tools like quick uploading to Facebook, Flickr, Tumblr, Twitter and Picasa. And it offers editing options: A simple cropping tool sits alongside tons of color filters for styling up photographs.
The app is popular enough to have accrued more than 1.5 million downloads in its lifetime. While some of its features, like burst shooting and anti-shake, have been made redundant by updates to Apple's basic camera app, Camera Genius is a simple tool that provides a lot of functionality in an amateur-friendly interface.

2.


The $4 Mattebox app looks simple, but it's actually a photo app built for photographers who are used to shooting with fancy DSLRs. The user interface is modeled after a famous camera made in the 1990s, the Konika Hexar, and it uses that camera's viewfinder as inspiration. Mattebox displays information pro photographers expect to see at a glance:ISO, white balance, shutter speed and focal distance. Only white balance can be manually controlled due to the iPhone hardware, but all that information is on display for photographers to keep in mind while shooting.
One of the app's coolest features is a dual-stage shutter button, or slider. By holding down the button, you can lock exposure and focus, then adjust your framing before sliding the button down and snapping a shot. Mattebox also offers some basic editing tools for cropping, color, exposure, gamma and saturation tweaking, but the unique viewfinder is its primary draw.

3.


Like Camera Awesome, Camera+'s name implies a twist on the basic features offered by Apple's default photo-taking app. With more than 7 million downloads, Camera+ has become the go-to photo-taking app that fulfills the jack-of-all-trades slot once owned by Camera Genius. The $2 app offers a range of shooting features, like constant fill lighting from the LED, image stabilization, timer and burst modes, and a 6x digital zoom option. The range of editing tools is even greater, starting with a "clarity" feature that auto-tweaks images, much like Camera Awesome's "awesomizer."
Camera+ allows you to import photos taken in the default camera app and edit them with effects, filters and a digital "flash" that brightens overly dark images. Cropping, borders and sharing to Twitter, Facebook and Flickr round out the list of expected features.

After Twenty Years

O.Henry was widely acknowledged as the master of  short story . His stories provide a romantic and humorous treatment of every day life . They  are noted for their use of coincidence and trick ending .`AFTER TWENTY YEARS ` tells a story of a strange appointment that takes an unexpected turn in the form of an ironic twist.

It was ten O` clock at night. The policemen on the beat was in the top form. He walked up to a man standing in the doorway of darkened hardware store . The man was fully alert . He spoke up quickly . He was waiting for his friend . It was an appointment made twenty years earlier . He lit up a cigar and his features shown up. There used to be a restaurant where the store now stood. Jimmy wells and were a good friends . They were twenty years old then. They dined together at the restaurant at 10 pm on that faithful night parted ways , pledging to meet there exactly the same tome twenty years later , no matter in what position  they would be.Jimmy tried his luck in New York itself and his friend was left for the west. The policemen looked thoughtful and went on his way hoping that the other man would wait for his friend.

About twenty minutes later , a tall man came and introduced himself as jimmy wells and said that he was glad to meet his old friend Bob. They talked about the history of their careers. Bob made a good fortune in the west. Jimmy had a position in one of the city departments. They started arm in arm , near a drug store , in the glare of electric lights , Bob found that the other man was not his old friend Jimmy. “Time sometime changes a good man into a bad man”, said the other man .He placed a silky Bob under arrest. He placed Bob a note from the patrolman Wells. It read who Jimmy had met Bob at the appointed time and place , how he couldn`t arrest him and how he sent another man to do the job. His sense of duty prevailed over his friendship.

The two great friends carved out diametrically opposite careers for themselves . One was a master criminal and they other was a dutiful police officer .They kept their promise , ironically leaving a bitter taste behind.

The surprise ending is quite characteristic of O.Henry stories

Biggest lies in History

1.

. If all is fair in love and ­war, this might be the most forgivable of the big lies. When the Trojan Paris absconded with Helen, wife of the Sparten king, war exploded. It had been raging for 10 long years when the Trojans believed they had finally overcome the Geeks.Little did they know, the Greeks had another trick up their sleeves.
In a stroke of genius , the Greeks built an enormous wooden horse with a hollow belly in which men could hide. After the Greeks convinced their foes that this structure was a peace offering, the Trojans happily accepted it and brought the horse within their fortified city. That night, as the Trojans slept, Greeks hidden inside snuck out the trap door. Then, they proceeded to slaughter and decisively defeat the Trojans.
This was unquestionably one of the biggest and most successful tricks known to history -- that is, if it's true. Homer mentions the occurrence in "The Iliad," and Virgil extrapolates the story in "The Aeneid." Evidence suggests that Troy itself existed, giving some validity to Homer's tales, and scholars have long been investigating how historically accurate these details are. One theory behind the Trojan horse comes from historian Michael Wood, who proposes that it was merely a battering ram in the shape of a horse that infiltrated the city
In any case, the story has won a permanent place in the Western imagination as a warning to beware of enemies bearing gifts.

Agora Tower

The Agora Tower by Vincent Callebaut Architectures, known for their distinct eco-vision, designed this tower to be placed on the biggest, not to mention last, parcel of land for residential use in Taipei City, Taiwan. The twisting foliage-filled tower allows for a high-density space to exist that will also limit the ecologic footprint of the inhabitants. The aim of this building is to forge a symbiotic relationship between the urban dweller and nature.

The helicoidal towers appropriate their form from the structure of DNA, conceptually speaking to the building blocks of life, as well as dynamism and twinning. In a single level, four types of housing units are present, and in the structure as a whole there are 40 luxurious apartments as well as facilities. The act of twisting the form creates the optimization for open-air hanging gardens consisting of tall planted balconies of suspended orchards, organic vegetable gardens and medicinal greenery. Multiplying the transversal views of the overall east-west rhomboidal pyramid is produced by angling the apartments also allowing them to have exceptional views of the city.

The Way of Life

This girl is a keeper!!!!
It happened at a New York Airport. This is hilarious. An award should go to the United Airlines gate agent in New York for being smart and funny, while making her point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo. For all of you out there who have had to deal with an irate customer, this one is for you.

A crowded United Airlines flight was canceled. A single agent was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travelers. Suddenly, an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket on the counter and said, "I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS."

The agent replied, "I'm sorry, sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these folks first; and then I'm sure we'll be able to work something out." The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?"

Without hesitating, the agent smiled and grabbed her public address microphone. "May I have your attention, please?", she began, her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. "We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him with his identity, please come to Gate 14".

With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the United Airlines agent, gritted his teeth, and said, "F*** You!"

Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry sir, you'll have to get in line for that, too."

Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to
dance in the rain...

Affection

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

SON: 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?'

DAD: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the man.

SON: 'Daddy, how much do you make an hour?'

DAD: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the man said angrily.

SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'

DAD: 'If you must know, I make $50 an hour.'

SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.

SON: 'Daddy, may I please borrow $25?'

The father was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.'


The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think:

Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $25.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

'Are you asleep, son?' He asked.

'No daddy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.

'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the man. 'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $25 you asked for.'

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you daddy!' he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.

The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.

The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.

'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the father grumbled.

'Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied.

'Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.'

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.

It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $50 worth of your time with someone you love.

Humanity is not dead yet

This story will warm you better than a coffee in a cold winter day:

"We enter a little coffeehouse with a friend of mine and give our order. While we're approaching our table two people come in and they go to the counter -

'Five coffees, please. Two of them for us and three suspended'

They pay for their order, take the two and leave. I ask my friend:

'What are those 'suspended' coffees?'

'Wait for it and you will see'

Some more people enter. Two girls ask for one coffee each, pay and go. The next order was for seven coffees and it was made by three lawyers - three for them and four 'suspended'.

While I still wonder what's the deal with those 'suspended' coffees I enjoy the sunny weather and the beautiful view towards the square in front of the cafe. Suddenly a man dressed in shabby clothes who looks like a beggar comes in through the door and kindly asks
'Do you have a suspended coffee ?'

It's simple - people pay in advance for a coffee meant for someone who can not afford a warm beverage. The tradition with the suspended coffees started in Naples, but it has spread all over the world and in some places you can order not only a suspended coffee, but also a sandwich or a whole meal."
