Causes of Global Warming

Almost 100% of the observed temperature increase over the last 50 years has been due to the increase in the atmosphere of greenhouse gas concentrations like water vapour, carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane and ozone. Greenhouse gases are those gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect (see below). The largest contributing source of greenhouse gas is the burning of fossil fuels leading to the emission of carbon dioxide.

The Main cause of Global Warming

It took more than 20 years to broadly accept that mankind is causing global warming with the emission of greenhouse gases. The drastic increase in the emission of CO2 (carbon dioxide) within the last 30 years caused by burning fossil fuels has been identified as the major reason for the change of temperature in the atmosphere (click the following link for a summary and graphs about the cause and effects of global warming ).

More than 80% of the world-wide energy demand is currently supplied by the fossil fuels coal, oil or gas. It will be impossible to find alternative sources, which could replace fossil fuels in the short or medium term. The energy demand is simply too high.

Another issue is the non-renewable characteristic of fossil fuels: It took nature millions of years to generate these resources, however we will have used them up within the next decades. Alone the shrinking supply will not make it possible to continue as usual for a longer time.

Effects of global warming

There are two major effects of global warming:

• Increase of temperature on the earth by about 3° to 5° C (5.4° to 9° Fahrenheit) by the year 2100.

• Rise of sea levels by at least 25 meters (82 feet) by the year 2100.

Increase of temperature on the earth by about 3° to 5° C (5.4° to 9° Fahrenheit) by the year 2100.

Changes in temperature and precipitation patterns increase the frequency, duration, and intensity of other extreme weather events, such as floods, droughts, heat waves, and tornadoes. Other effects of global warming include higher or lower agricultural yields, further glacial retreat, reduced summer stream flows, species extinctions. As a further effect of global warming, diseases like malaria are returning into areas where they have been extinguished earlier.

Rise of sea levels by at least 25 meters (82 feet) by the year 2100.

Increasing global temperatures are causing a broad range of changes. Sea levels are rising due to thermal expansion of the ocean, in addition to melting of land ice. Amounts and patterns of precipitation are changing. The total annual power of hurricanes has already increased markedly since 1975 because their average intensity and average duration have increased (in addition, there has been a high correlation of hurricane power with tropical sea-surface temperature).

 

When we talk about Indian Cricket one names come into our mind is a young dynamic cricketer can consider as cricket Guru = our master blaster swashbuckling Mumbai bomber ‘Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar’. As a youngster, anyone would definitely look upon to the master blaster as a role model. He has played over two decades and still going strong…His bat speaks for all, and it really speaks in tons and volumes. He does not have to show his aggression other than with his bat. A little grin of his and there goes the ball off the park when he smashes the bowler with utter disdain.

One has to really learn from him how to maintain that craftsman ship while playing and also how to handle stardom. Sachin … Sachin is the chant that goes all over the stadium while he plays in any part of the world. Can’t even think that he would ever let his ego come on to his way in his illustrious career so far. I think in the current Indian Team, some of the players should have a look at it and make amends in their way of batting and behaviour.

Sachin is one of the living legend and way ahead to go and he is owner of the company
‘most number of test and ODI hundreds’. 

About Sachin i would like to give a Thought that: ”Go and commit mistakes they would be ignored coz even God watch when Sachin bats.”

Scorpio, with the symbol of ‘The Scorpion’, is one of the three water signs of the zodiac. One of the first things that you notice about us (Scorpios) are our eyes; they will be very intense and totally hypnotic. Infact, many people find it very difficult to stand steady under a Scorpio’s constant gaze. Our eyes seem to be penetrating your soul, knowing your deepest secrets and desires. 

Scorpios have a big ego. They know what they are and what they are not. It doesn’t matter what you think about them.

We are immune to both comments as well as compliments, because we know whether we are right or wrong. We had a perfect control over our emotions and we always retains our faultless poise. You will hardly see our emotions being reflected on our face, whether it’s a blush or a flush. Infact, Scorpios deliberately practice a vacant look. The same goes for our body posture also, you will hardly see us pacing around in nervousness. However, behind this impeccable composure is their torrid inner nature.

However, we will always try to probe you, your nature and your motives. Fierce determination is a typical Scorpio personality trait. We has a strong willpower and is not the one to accept defeat easily. The characteristic profile of a Scorpio also tells us that we are very honest, to the point of hurting someone. If you have asked our opinion, you will get the brutal truth, without any sugar coating. We never gives false compliments and does not know how to flatter. However, if we does say something nice to you, be sure that it is truly sincere and is coming straight from the heart.

If you ask a us for a favor, it will be either a simple ‘Yes’ or ‘No’, not something like ‘I will try’. If we really likes you, we will go out of the way to help you. You never have neutral feelings for a Scorpio; you will either be amongst our dedicated admirers or malicious enemies. However, no one challenges us openly, not even the most spiteful enemy. Scorpios have this lingering charm around them and are extremely sympathetic towards the sick or miserable. We are fearless and can stand anything from physical pain to poverty. 

We have complete confidence in ourselves and know that we shall pass through this also. We are extremely loyal and will go to the length of laying down our life for our loved ones. We had an exceptionally good memory. We never forgets an act of benevolence and always remembers to repay it. Similarly, we also remembers any pain caused to us, though the reaction may differ. An eagle will crush the enemy; a scorpion will meticulously plan and demolish the enemy.

Scorpio loves to play with danger. At the same time, we are interested in religion and curious about all the aspects of life as well as death. If you are close to us, you will feel extremely protected and cared for. We also fiercely possessive of what we believes to be with. If a Scorpio really wants to do something, it will never remain a dream forever. We will find one or the other way to get what we wants. We are very passionate about everything around, even our home. However, beneath our tough exterior is a gentle heart that knows how to love and care.

Editing is the process of selecting and preparing language, images, sound, video, or film through processes of correction, condensation, organization, and other modifications in various media. A person who edits is called an editor. In a sense, the editing process originates with the idea for the work itself and continues in the relationship between the author and the editor. Editing is, therefore, also a practice that includes creative skills, human relations, and a precise set of methods

Print media

There are various editorial positions in publishing. Typically, one finds junior editorial assistants reporting to the senior-level editorial staff and directors who report to senior executive editors. Senior executive editors are responsible for developing a product to its final release. The smaller the publication, the more these roles run together. In particular, the substantive editor and copy editor often overlap: fact-checking and rewriting can be the responsibility of either.

Executive editor

The top editor sometimes has the title executive editor or editor-in-chief . This person is generally responsible for the content of the publication. The exception is that newspapers that are large enough usually have a separate editor for the editorials and opinion pages in order to have a complete separation of its news reporting and its editorial content.

The executive editor sets the publication standards for performance, as well as for motivating and developing the staff. The executive editor is also responsible for developing and maintaining the publication budget. In concert with the publisher and the operating committee, the executive editor is responsible for strategic and operational planning.

Periodicals

Editors at newspapers supervise journalists and improve their work. Newspaper editing encompasses a variety of titles and functions. These include:

• Copy editors
• Department editors
• Managing editors and assistant or deputy managing editors (the managing editor is often second in line after the top editor)
• News editors, who oversee the news desks
• Photo or picture editors
• Section editors and their assistants, such as for business, features, and sports
• Editorial Page Editor who oversees the coverage on the editorial page. This includes chairing the Editorial Board and assigning editorial writing responsibilities. The editorial page editor may also oversee the op-ed page or those duties are assigned to a separate op-ed editor.
• Top editors, who may be called editor in chief, executive editor or sometimes just editor
• Readers’ editors, sometimes known as the ombudsman, who arbitrate complaints
• Wire editors, who choose and edit articles from various international wire services, and are usually part of the copy desk
• Administrative editors (who actually don’t edit but perform duties such as recruiting and directing training)

Scholarly books and journals

Editors of scholarly books and journals are of three types, each with particular responsibilities: the acquisitions editor (or commissioning editor in Britain), who contracts with the author to produce the copy, the project editor or production editor, who sees the copy through its stages from manuscript through bound book and usually assumes most of the budget and schedule responsibilities, and the copy editor or manuscript editor, who performs the tasks of readying the copy for conversion into printed form.

Technical editing

Technical editing involves reviewing text written on a technical topic, and identifying errors related to the use of language in general or adherence to a specific style guide.

Technical editing may include any of the following: correction of grammatical mistakes, misspellings, mistyping, incorrect punctuation, inconsistencies in usages, poorly structured sentences, wrong scientific terms, wrong units and dimensions, inconsistency in significant figures, technical ambivalence, technical disambiguation, correction of statements conflicting with general scientific knowledge, correction of synopsis, content, index, headings and subheadings, correcting data and chart presentation in a research paper or report, correcting errors in citations.

Business editing

Businesses and nonprofit organizations often use editors, who may be employees of a company, individual contractors working onsite at a client’s office or independently offsite, or employees or partners in a specialized copywriting agency. Working with writers inside or outside the business, such editors provide services such as proofreading, copy editing, line editing, developmental editing, editing for search engine optimization (SEO), etc.
