The Weather

    Now we are going to talk about the weather, the meaning of the word and the relation between wheather and atmosphere : 

      First of all the term is normally taken to mean the activity of these phenomena over short periods of time, usually no more than a few days.

Average atmospheric conditions over significantly longer periods are known as climate.

Usage of the two terms often overlaps and the physical concepts underlying them are closely related.

On Earth, regularly occurring weather phenomena include such things as wind, cloud, rain, snow, fog and dust storms.

Less common events include natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes and ice storms.

Almost all familiar weather phenomena occur in the troposphere (the lower part of the atmosphere).

Weather does occur in the stratosphere and does affect weather lower down in the troposphere, but the exact mechanisms are poorly understood. The Earth's atmosphere is a chaotic system, so small changes to one part can have large effects elsewhere.

This makes it very difficult to accurately predict weather changes more than a few days in advance, though weather forecasters are continually working to extend this limit through the scientific study of weather, meteorology.

Green coffee and losing weight

  When roasted at 475 degrees, coffee beans are sometimes described as rich and full-bodied. But for the full-bodied person who is not so rich, unroasted coffee beans — green as the day they were picked — may hold the key to cheap and effective weight loss, new research suggests.

In a study presented Tuesday at the American Chemical Society's spring national meeting in San Diego, 16 overweight young adults took, by turns, a low dose of green coffee bean extract, a high dose of the supplement, and a placebo. Though the study was small, the results were striking: Subjects lost an average of 17.5 pounds in 22 weeks and reduced their overall body weight by 10.5%.

Capoiera

Capoeira is the common name for the group of African martial arts that came out of west Africa and were modified and mixed in Brazil. These original styles included weapons, grappling and striking as well as animal forms that became incorporated into different components and sub styles of the art. In 1500's the Portuguese, led by explorer Pedro Alvares Cabral, arrived in Brazil. One of the first measures taken by the new arrivals was the conquering of the local population, the Brazilian Indians, in order to allow the Portuguese slave labor (for sugarcane and cotton). The experience with the Indians was a failure. The Indians quickly died in captivity or fled to their nearby homes. The Portuguese then began to import slave labor from Africa. On the other side of the Atlantic, free men and women were captured, loaded onto slave ships and sent on nightmare voyages that would end in bondage. The Africans first arrived by the hundreds and later by the thousands (approximately four million in total). Three major African groups contributed in large numbers to the slave population in Brazil, the Sudanese group, composed largely of Yoruba and Dahomean peoples, the Mohammedanized Guinea-Sudanese groups of Malesian and Hausa peoples, and the "Bantu" groups (among them Kongos, Kimbundas, and Kasanjes) from Angola, Congo and Mozambique. The Bantu groups are believed to have been the foundation for the birth of capoeira. They brought with them their culture; a culture that was not stored in books and museums but in the body, mind, heart and soul. A culture that was transmitted from father to son, throughout generations.

6 Tips to Burn your Fat

what's body modification

People always say, “never judge a book by its cover,” but a first impression is a different story. When meeting a person for the first time image is everything, almost as if the person is a product. Although one cannot tell a book by its cover, we often look to physical appearance to give us clues about a person’s sanity, morality, intelligence, and abilities. Because appearance can be a fairly reliable indicator of one’s behavior, it is no surprise that in society physical image is very important. Today people can change any aspect of themselves; their clothing, hair, teeth, face, and body. Most of these changes are met with a level of tolerance, some more socially expectable than others. Taking action to change one’s appearance is often approved or at least accepted as a way of retaining youth, keeping current with the times, or boosting of one’s self-esteem. However, when a person chooses to make a radical change that may be quite original and or go against society’s! standards, there is usually some sort of backlash. This is seen currently with the trend of body piercing, tattoos, branding, and other forms of body adornment.

THE ONE-EYED DOE

    

A Doe had the misfortune to lose one of her eyes, and could not see any one approaching her on that side. So to avoid any danger she always used to feed on a high cliff near the sea, with her sound eye looking towards the land. By this means she could see whenever the hunters approached her on land, and often escaped by this means. But the hunters found out that she was blind of one eye, and hiring a boat rowed under the cliff where she used to feed and shot her from the sea. “Ah,” cried she with her dying voice.

                         “You cannot escape your fate.”

THE OBSTACLE IN OUR PATH

  

In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it.

   Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been.

The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand.

                         Every obstacle presents an opportunity to

                   improve one’s condition.

Kinds of people

Without looking at people’s color, religion, age, or even nationality, there is two kinds of people. So, you are the first kind or the second:

 

  1 ♥ People who eat to live:

      This kind of people is the honorable; they take only what they need from this world: cold water, warm bread and plentiful shade.

  One poet said:

     “Water, bread, and shade,

      These form a most worthy bliss,

      I have denied the favors of my god,

      If I said that I had too little.”    

2 ♥ People who live to eat:

    This kind doesn’t satisfy whatever they do; they think that they’re eternal. The pleasures of life are short-lived and they do not accept the life as it is.

   Finally, be thankful to your god, because of that you aren’t unfortunate or afflicted, look around you, to the right and the left, do you not see the afflicted and the unfortunate? In every house there is mourning and upon every cheek run tears.

The future of our community

   

 Why are children, the future of our community, if not the world itself, being singled out in today’s war?

   Paradoxically, it is precisely because they are so precious to us. To destroy what is of highest value to someone is clearly an effective form of terrorism: to kill and injure children is to rob a family or an entire group of its future.

   And today, more than ever, children themselves are bearing weapons in armed conflicts. Often, the young recruits undergo heavy indoctrination mixing religious fervor with national pride to intensify the call to duty; school and media reinforce the message. Handicapped children were used as human mine detectors to explode mines in the path of advancing tanks.

   The lack of food and protection has turned many a child into a soldier. “I have a gun, food, and a place to sleep,” one nine-year-old Ugandan recently told a member of the UNHCR, “that’s more than I had in my village. If I’d stayed there, I’d probably be dead by now.”       

JUST P.U.S.H!

    

A man was sleeping at night in his cabin when suddenly his room filled with light, and the Lord told the man he had work for him to do, and showed him a large rock in front of his cabin.

   The Lord explained that the man was to push against the rock with all his might. So, this the man did, day after day. For many years he toiled from sun up to sun down; his shoulders set squarely against the cold, massive surface of the unmoving rock, pushing with all of his might. Each night the man returned to his cabin sore and worn out, feeling that his whole day had been spent in vain. Since the man was showing
