African American History

History of a nation can contain both happiest and shameful events. Here the African American history is inexorably built of discrimination, maltreatment and slavery. It should also have the place for courage, pride and determination.

UK also had a shameful event in its history it has lost all its wealth because of slave trade. And in 1865 slavery was abolished from the nation. This was revocable in UK but not an end in African American history. Prejudiced against other races were able to change overnight and it has to go a long way to get freedom.
Isolation in the South was strongly practices. One day, an ordinary woman Rosa Parks denied giving up her seat in the bus to a white man. This act was like contravention of the law. But this was been a long and hard day for Rosa and so she couldn't take it any more.

Slowly and step by step isolation was broken down. African Americans were able to sit at the front of the bus, drink from the same fountain and went to the white men’s colleges. But not all agreed to this and still discrimination was practiced in some parts of the nation.

Dr. Martin Luther King with his extraordinary speeches fought for the rights of the peoples and to stop the cruelty. The history of the African American would be different one in absence of Dr. Martin Luther King.

Climatic conditions in Mauritania

Almost all the year through, Mauritania is very hot, and with extremely little rain. As the country is very dry, it is still surprisinly bearable. In some areas in the south the climate stays more or less the same all the year through. Summers in the capital, Nouakchott, are not all that much warmer than the winter season, but there is more chance of rain during the summer.

Mid-summer is a difficult time in most of Mauritania's interior, but life is still acceptable in oases, where shadow is arranged, and where cool springs can make this season almost very pleasant. The greatest problem is not really the high day temperatures, but the fact that summer does not manage to bring night temperatures down below 20°C.

It is difficult to recommend specific times of the year, and regions. Winter is surely the time when most will find Mauritania at its most pleasant, but as stated above, certain areas offer pleasant stays even deep into the summer season.

Management And Leadership

A leader can be a manager, but a manager is not necessarily a leader. The leader of the work group may emerge informally as the choice of the group. If a manager is able to influence people to achieve the goals of the organization, without using his or her formal authority to do so, then the manager is also demonstrating leadership. This paper discusses the roles and responsibilities of an effective leader in any organizational culture.

Leadership and management are two words that are used interchangeably. However, these words actually describe two different concepts. Leadership is just one of the many assets a successful manager must possess. The main aim of a manager is to maximize the output of the organization through administrative implementation. To achieve this, managers must use organizing, planning, staffing, directing, and controlling but a manager cannot just be a leader, he/she also needs formal authority to be effective.

Without leading as well as managing, organizations face many threats. A manager is hired by the organization and is given formal authority to direct the activity of others in fulfilling organizational goals. Thus, leading is a major part of a manager's job. Yet a manager must also plan, organize, and control. Leadership deals with the interpersonal aspects of a manager's job, whereas planning, organizing, and controlling deal with the administrative aspects (Bateman 2004).

Leadership deals with change, inspiration, motivation, and influence. Management deals more with carrying out the organization's goals and maintaining stability. A manager should plan, organize, lead and control, while a leader influences people through motivation, communication, group dynamics, and discipline. The manager’s purpose of directing is to channel the behavior of all personnel to accomplish the organization's mission and objectives while simultaneously helping them accomplish their own career objectives

Great Astronomer

The Kuiper Belt

The short period comets that make complete orbits around the sun 200 yeas exit as a disc shaped region of space outside the orbit of Neptune. This was proposed by Astronomer Gerard Peter Kuiper in 1951.

In 1992 the kupier belt went out of history since a 150 mile object called 1992QB1 was found in the environs of the belt. This was predicted by Kupier. From that time other that is detected gives a proof that the belt actually exists.
Pluto discovered in 1930 is now considered as kupier belt object. Now the kupier belt is thought to be extended sparsely outwards to the Oort cloud.

The Oort Cloud

Astronomer Jan Hendrik Oort in 1950 said that comets might have originated in a cloud of material and now it is called oort cloud. These comets are orbiting the sun at a greater distance and the orbits are occasionally disrupted by the gravitational influence of nearby stars sending them rushing towards the inner solar system.

Since the oort clouds are at a longer distance they take 30 million years to complete one trip around the sun. the oort are spherical in shape and is thought to be exist halfway between the sun and the heliopause.

A triggering news

Biodiversity and climate of the earth are often by the affected by the activities of the humans. But now in the new geologic time the soil under the humans feet is also being affected. The scientists have declared that the human society is entering an Anthropocene age.

Famous soil analyst says that the soil present all over the world has started to show reduced capacity to support biodiversity and agricultural growth. As the damaged and depleted soil increase in their amount there will be defeat to the global water, carbon, and nitrogen. Since about 50 percentage of the worlds soil is under the direct management of the human society.

This global in the soil promotes less support to farming, plant, and animal diversity. This problem is very serious in the countries of Africa and Asia. The ability to store the carbon in the soil is reduced by this damaged soils. Cow dung burnt for cooking, bricks built by the top soil and the nutrient depletion by the farming process have a rebound global effect.

So a new geological period is required to save the global soil from the harmful effects of the humankind.

Tips to make daily things go well

Daily things can be planned in such a way that at the end of the day, you need not to feel that nothing has been completed. To increase your productivity, a simple technique can be used. It’s so simple just list down all the things you need to work on that day.

Spend at least 10 -15 minutes each day to plan your activities for the next day and prepare a daily chart. Start the day with that. It would be more useful if you write your task. You can either use paper to list it down or you can prefer the computer. Work on both and find out which one best suit you.

Listing the job does not mean that you will be able to complete them all in a proper way. Reviewing the list and giving priority for each job will help you the most. The jobs that get to close too your goals can be given the higher priority.

You can give your jobs the “ABC” rating. Rate the job that needs to be done on that day as “A”. The less urgent job can be rated as “B” and so on.

When an unplanned job gets in your way, first plan that job in your list and then continue your job proceedings. Also break the more complex job into smaller ones and concentrate on one at a time.

Finally when you complete the jobs look at the result and feel the fulfillment of the development.

The history of zoos

Human interest in keeping animals dates back to at least 1500 BC when Queen Hatshepsut of Egypt built a zoo. Many zoos were created by rulers in Africa, India and China to demonstrate their wealth and power.

The Greeks established the first zoos to study animal behaviour. They charged admission to view the specimens, and set up an education process. One of the most notable teachers at a Greek zoo was Aristotle. One of his best-known students was Alexander the Great, who collected many animals for the zoos.

British and European exploration of the world in the 18th and 19th centuries led to the discovery of many species of animals that they considered to be unusual. This encouraged the keeping of animals as exotica in Europe and Britain. The idea of zoos as places of entertainment also developed.

The role of the zoo today

Modern zoos undertake environmental education and conservation of endangered species, zoological research, and provide for recreation through exhibiting animals to the public, special events, and 'behind the scenes' tours and overnight stays which include close encounters with the animals

Zoos now are a place where people can get in touch with the natural world by experiencing a variety of flora and fauna in a close-up real-life situation. There is still no experience quite like seeing the real and unpredictable animal - who knows what it will do next? There are sights, smells, and sounds of a zoo which take people away from their daily surroundings.

Fruits and Vegetable Benefits

Fruits and Vegetables Can Protect Your Health

Fruits and vegetables contain essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that may help protect you from chronic diseases. Compared with people who consume a diet with only small amounts of fruits and vegetables, those who eat more generous amounts as part of a healthful diet are likely to have reduced risk of chronic diseases, including stroke and perhaps other cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancers.

Whole Foods or Supplements?

Nutrients should come primarily from foods. Foods such as fruits and vegetables contain not only the vitamins and minerals that are often found in supplements, but also other naturally occurring substances that may help protect you from chronic diseases.

For some people, fortified foods or supplements can be helpful in getting the nutrients their bodies need. A fortified food contains a nutrient in an amount greater than what is typically found in that food.

The Colors of Health

Fruits and vegetables come in terrific colors and flavors, but their real beauty lies in what's inside. Fruits and vegetables are great sources of many vitamins, minerals and other natural substances that may help protect you from chronic diseases.

To get a healthy variety, think color. Eating fruits and vegetables of different colors gives your body a wide range of valuable nutrients, like fiber, folate, potassium, and vitamins A and C. Some examples include green spinach, orange sweet potatoes, black beans, yellow corn, purple plums, red watermelon, and white onions. For more variety, try new fruits and vegetables regularly

Time Management

This is a small sharing of mine which I read and felt myself energetic. The one thing in our hands is TIME. So let’s use it very effectively.

Here are few tips for effective time management:

  1. We should reschedule our engagements, advancing time by half an hour. But let’s remember to quite our gate at that time, using the quit-gate model.
  2. One secret tension-free living is to manage our time comfortably.
  3. Whenever we get up late even by half an hour, the whole day would be tensed. And so, get up early. For a man who lives say, for 60 years, it is like living 5 more years if he gets up early by an hour every day.

    Every day, start the day with planning. For that, maintain a pocket size diary and list out the engagements for the day and then prioritize them. But don’t be crazy to do too many things in a day! At the same, if you are able to meet all your engagements on all days (by and large), you may well note that you are not having enough work!

  1. The biggest killer of time is GOSSIP. Another equally damaging tool is T.V., the ‘Time Virus’!
  2. “Procrastination is the thief of Time” (It’s the worst enemy of life). Recall, first lets finish off the work we generally don’t like; automatically, we will start liking to do without postponement, the things we like; Also let us paste a big size print out, “Only Lazy Creatures Postpone! Only Fools Postpone!” in the bath room, bed room, etc. This works likes a magic!
  3. Every night before we retire, let us spend 10min, to “retrospect and introspect”. Rote memory technique will be of great help in this regard.
  4. While managing our time, lets remember to allot sometime to our family, more so to our children. After all, “the best inheritance a parent can give his children is a few minutes of his time each day!”

    As we know, “nobody is rich enough to buy back his past!” There is nothing like “I don’t have time”. It is the busiest man who can spare time, some time, since we all knows its value.

Have a nice time!
