WATER DROP LENS!......

 Physicist and inventor,Burno Berge, has created  liquid optical lens.


Using  process known as electro-wetting  water drop is deposited on metal substrate and covered by  thin 


insulting layer.When  voltage is applied to the metal,it modifies the angle of the liquid drop.




The liquid lens is comprised of two liquids, water and oil,one is  conductor while the other is an insulator. 


variation in the voltage causes  change to the curvature of the liquid to liquid interface,which changes the focal 


length of the lens.


The use of liquids allows for low cost construction.There re no moving parts and electrical consumption is 


extremely low.The lens has  large inverse focal length range,quick response,high optical quality and can 


operate in  wide temperature range.....

just a brief note on fiber optics.....

  
Fiber optics is very fine filaments of transparent glass covered 


with a plastic material that transmits light long its axis by the 


process of total internal reflection.They are flexible and 


resistant .They are used to illuminate and to observe places that 


are not easily reached(inside the human body,for example) or to 


transmit coded information in the form of light signals(for 


example,in telephonic network).Due to the high speed of 


transmission, approximately two or three times the speed of 


light and the ability to transfer  remarkable volume of 


information,fiber optics are the method of communication for 


the future.Fiber optics is used to look inside the human body. 


Because they are so fine and flexible,they can reach parts of the 


body,which could not be otherwise reached without 


surgery.Fiber optics can illuminate  part of the body and 


transmit images to the doctor who can see these on  separate and 


external screen.These re used s hydrophones for seismic and 


SONAR uses,s wiring in aircraft, submarines and other vehicles 


and also for field networking.

Deadly Water pistols ....

         Archerfish have been shown by  team t the university of 


Erlangen in Germany to be even more impressive at squirting 


jets of water at prey than previously realized.It is not a question 


of fire and hope the fish re deadly accurate and can calculate the 


quantity of water needed to dislodge each unfortunate creature 


chosen for supper. The quantity of water spat t the prey-


generally  flies,beetles and spiders and occasionally small lizards 


is judged according to size. Researches found that the fish 


consistently squirted bout ten times as much as was needed to 


knock the chosen prey into the water where it could be snapped 


up.




      The archer fish's hunting technique is costly in terms of 


energy expended,so it limits wasted effort by altering the mount 


of water expelled according to the creature it intends to dislodge 


from an overhanging part. Of course,using ten times s much 


water as is required would seem to be  built in safety margins to 


maximize the chances of success.




         The findings came just years after it was demonstrated that 


archerfish can assess not just the sie and position of the 


target,but can also take account of distortion caused by light 


striking the water.

HOW ARE HURRICANES NAMED..???



THREE ITEMS
1, HOW ARE HURRICANES NAMED
2 IRENE'S IMPACT ON NEW JERSEY
3.IRENE'S IMPACT ON NEW YORK.
ALL WORTH SPENDING SOME TIME ON.



Hurricane Gustav has raged with speed of 140 miles per hour. It is followed by Hanna, Ike and Josephine.
 You will find an explanation below of how hurricanes are named and categorised. PPR 
                                **************************
 Currently, there are six separate 21-name lists and each of them is used every six years in a rotation. They don't include names that begin with Q,U,X,Y and Z because there aren't enough names starting with those letters.

There has been 21 tropical storms and hurricanes in the 
Atlantic.  A storm name is retired if it causes widespread damage and deaths. So if there is a deadly hurricane Alpha, what is it replaced with when it's retired?

 Actually, when old names are retired, new names have to be drafted in to a database maintained specifically for Atlantic ocean storms, said Mark Oliver, spokesman for the world meteorological organization in 
GenevaSwitzerland, which maintains the database.
"There are  certain specifications which they have to meet," Oliver said. "they have to be fairly easily remembered, they've got to be in alphabetical order."
For several hundred years, damaging hurricanes were named after the Saint's Day when the storm hit. For example, there was Hurricane 
Santa Ana which hit Puerto Rico on July 26, 1825. According to the U.S. conference of catholic bishops, there are Saint's days for about a third to a half of all days.

Then, Australian meteorologist Clement Wragge began giving women's names to tropical storms before the end of the 19th century, according to the National Weather Service.

Other regions take a different approach. In 
Asia, storms may be given names of people, but also of flowers or other non-human beings, Oliver said. Japan does not participate in this system, preferring instead to number each storm chronologically starting a new each year.

During World War I I, storm naming became more common, especially among Air Force and Navy meteorologists who tracked storms over the 
Pacific Ocean.

From 1950 to 1952, the 
United States named storms by a phonetic alphabet, starting with Able, Baker and Charlie. That became confusing because the same names were used each year, so female names were used starting in 1953 in a list created by the NationalHurricane Center. The first one was called tropical storm Alice.

That was considered biased against women, so men's names were added in 1978 in the Pacific and a year later in the 
Atlantic, with Hurricane Bob. 

There have been six lists of names in use since 1979 (list i). The lists make use of names from both sexes. They are in alphabetical order and lists are recycled after six years, with list vi in use for the 2008 season,

Gender alternates both between adjacent names in a list (a male name is followed by a female one and vice versa) and between initial names between lists (if one year's list starts with a female name, the next year's list begins with a male one and vice versa).
If the names on a list are all used, storms are then named after the letters of the Greek alphabet (alpha, beta, gamma, etc.) Greek names, unlike the names in the regular lists, cannot be retired. In case a storm reached the magnitude that might otherwise have lead to retirement, the storm would be listed with the retired names with a footnote indicating the Greek letter would still be available for future storms. The use of 21 names was established in reference to the1933 Atlantic hurricane season which had been the record holder for the most storms in the region. This record was broken during the 2005 season which saw 28 storms (27 named Andone unnamed), and saw the first use of the Greek alphabet to name storms.

                                     Categories for hurricanes
                             Have you ever wondered what exactly the forecasters mean when they say a hurricane is a category 1 or category 4? Hurricanes are classifed based on categories of intensity. These categories tell people what kind of damage the storm could cause.
                            A tropical storm officially becomes a hurricane once it reaches winds of 75mph or greater. Once this happens the hurricane is then given a category based on how powerful the winds are. The category also gives an idea as to how likely the damage will be for flooding and structural damage once the hurricane hits land. Hurricanes are measured on the "saffir-simpson" scale. The scale was named after the two men that came up with this way to measure hurricanes. Herbert Saffir was an engineer in 
Florida and Robert Simpson was the Director of the National Hurricane Center from 1967 through 1973. 


The scale has five categories which are:

Category 1

 A category one hurricane has winds ranging in speed from 75 to 95 mph. A category 1 hurricane usually causes some minor flooding and damage to trees and some structural damage to buildings.

Some category 1 hurricanes were: hurricane allison 1995, hurricane danny 1997, hurricane lili in 2002, hurricane gaston in 2004.

Category 2

 Category 2 storms have winds 96 to 110 mph. A category 2 hurricane will cause some structural damage usually ripping tiles off roofs, damaging windows and causing tree damage and possibly knocking down power lines. Mobile homes also will usually see a great deal of damage done to the home. Minor flooding can be expected with a category 2 storm.
Some category 2 hurricanes were: hurricane Kate in 1985, hurricane Bob in 1991, hurricane Bertha in 1996, hurricane Isabel in 2003, hurricane 
Frances in 2004.

Category 3

 Any hurricane that is a category 3 or higher is considered a major hurricane.
 A category 3 hurricane is a hurricane in which you should evacuate from your area and move to an area away from the hurricane. Category 3 hurricanes have winds of 111 to 130 mph. Category 3 hurricanes can cause tree damage, building damage and mobile homes could be destroyed.
Some category 3 hurricanes were: hurricane Alicia in 1983, hurricane Roxanne in 1995, Fran in 1996, hurricane Jeanne and hurricane Ivan in 2004.

Category 4

Category 4 hurricanes are powerful with winds of 131 to 155 mph. Category 4 hurricanes can cause damage to all types of buildings. Tree and sign damage can also be expected. Mobile homes will be destroyed. Flooding is usually severe with a category 4 storm.
Some category 4 hurricanes were: hurricane Felix and hurricane Opal both in 1995 hurricane Hugo in 1989 and hurricane Katrina in 2005.

 Category 5

 Category 5 storms are the most powerful hurricanes on the earth. We are lucky that these hurricanes are rare and we have only had three category 5 hurricanes ever hit the 
United states. Category 5 storms have winds of 156 mph and over. Category 5 storms will cause heavy structural damage to most buildings and mobile homes will be destroyed. Trees and signs will be blown down. Category 5 hurricanes will also cause severe flooding with storm surges at 18 feet or higher.

The only 3 category 5 hurricanes to ever make landfall in the United States since the record keeping began are: Labor day hurricane of 1935 that hit the Florida Keys, hurricane Camile in 1969, and hurricane Andrew in 1992.

Max Tegmark

      The most effective way to make the world better place is 


through education that shapes the future rather than 


reflects the past.By undercutting fundamentalism, education 


curtails violence and war.By empowering women,


education curbs poverty and population. The curriculum should 


shift from one watered down by consensus and 


lobbying to skills our century needs-for relationships, health, 


contraception,time management critical thinking and 


recognizing propaganda.The most important goal of all should 


be to inspire curiosity and the desire to learn more

Why we read the Bhagavat Geeta, even if we can't understand it?



 

     An old farmer lived on a farm in the mountains with his young grandson.
 
     Each morning, Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table  reading his Bhagavat Geeta.
     His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could.
     
     One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa! I try to read the Bhagavad Geeta just like you but I don't
 
     understand it, and what I do understand, I  forget as soon as I close the book.
 
   What good does reading the Bhagavad Geeta do?"

   The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, "Take this coal basket
 
   down to the river and bring me back a basket of water."
 
     The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house.

     The grandfather laughed and said, "You'll have to move a little faster next time,"
 
     and sent him back to the river with the basket totry again.

     This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before here turned home.
 
     Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was   impossible to carry water in a basket,
 
     and he went to get a bucket instead.

     The old man said, "I don't want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water.
 
     You're just not trying hard enough," and he went outthe door  to watch the boy try again.

     At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather
 
     that even if he ran as fast as he could, the waterwould leak out before he got back to the house.
 
     The boy again dipped the basket into river and ran hard,
 
     but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty.

     Out of breath, he said, "SEE.... it is useless!"


     "So you think it is useless?" The old man said, "Look at the basket."

     The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different.
 
     It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and out.


     "Son, that's what happens when you read the Bhagavat Geeta.
 
     You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it,
 
      You will be changed, inside and out. That is the work of GOD in our lives."

Select a 'great' aim and strive to attain it,Kalam tells students..

      The former president .A.P.J. ABDUL KALAM,on Wednesday exhorted students to select  goal in life and remain focused on achieving it without any distraction whatsoever.
       Mr.kalam when he was delivering the inaugural address at a  Children's science congress at the on-going 99 th Indian science congress in BHUBANESWAR.Students, he said ,should select  'great' aim and strive to achieve it by continuously acquiring relevant knowledge and by working diligently without bothering about what others were doing.
     Recalling the life and work of great inventors such as Madam Curie and Thomas alva Edison,he said the mantra should be "Unique U".
     In response to  question from  student on corruption t the end of n hour-long talk,he appealed to students to make your home free from corruption.
     To another question how he was able to balance between science and politics when he was the president he equipped :"Science needs  lot of money and money comes from politicians"
     Asked bout the prospect of having human colonies on the moon and Mars,he said he envisaged that the Earth ,the moon and Mars would emerge as a single economic entity within the next few decades,with humanity getting minerals and other resources from the moon and Mars....
