Snakes ,Types of snakes,Venom ,Sea Snakes

Snakes

A snake is a reptile ,they are carnivorous and their distinguishing features are their lack of eyelids, limbs and external ears. There are about 2,700 species of snakes. We can see some variety of snakes here.

Types of Snakes

Elapids - These are found in the sub tropical and tropical regions around the world. They have hollow fangs which they use to inject venom in their victim. Their size can range from 18 centimetres to more than 6 metres.About 231 species are there in this family of snakes. Some examples of Elapids are Kraits,Cobras,King Cobras ,Mambas,Australian Copperheads,Coral Snakes.

Viperidae - The Viperidae, or the vipers as they are more commonly known are found all over the world except in Madagascar and Australia. Their fangs are comparatively quite long and hinged. With the help of their long fangs, the vipers inject venom into their victims. In this family, there are about four sub-species,they are Azemiopinae, Vipermae, Crotalinae and the Causinae. Examples of this species of snakes are the following:Vipers ,Rattle-Snakes ,Cottonmouths ,Bushmasters ,Adders ,Copperheads

Colubridae - This family of snakes are harmless and non-poisonous. However, there are certain species even in this family, like the Boomslang and the African Twig which have been responsible for human deaths. Their fangs are located at the back of their mouths. Some examples are the following:Queen Snake ,Common Keelback ,King Snake ,Corn Snake ,Bull Snake ,Rat Snake ,Garter Snake ,Smooth Snake,Mussurana Snake,Milk Snake

Hydrophidae - These are sea or aquatic snakes that are distantly related to the cobra family of snakes. They are about two metres in length and about 50 species of these snakes are there in the world. Almost all the snakes of this family are highly venomous. These snakes have short and hollow fangs that is located near the front and upper jaw. Some examples are :Stoke's Sea Snakes ,Olive Sea Snakes ,Spiny Headed Sea Snakes, Turtlehead Sea Snakes,Beaked Sea Snakes ,Grey's Mudsnakes.

Arts of Kerala,Classical Arts ,Kathakali,Koodiyattam ,Chakyarkoothu

ARTS OF KERALA

The real treasures of Kerala lay in the cultural heritage of its people. Kerala has its own typical art forms which reflect the life and outlook of the people. From the renowned Kathakali, considered to be the complete art form as it synthesizes all that is best in the fields of drama, music and dance, to the folk dances which are reflection of the rhythmic impulses of a sensitive people. Recently, the UNESCO brought to light, a less known art form - Koodiyattom - and declared it as one among the 'Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. It is for the first time in the history of UNESCO that select art forms across the world have been given this recognition as part of its effort to safeguard expressions of oral heritage and traditional culture which are in danger of disappearing due to the effects of globalization. Here are the some descriptions of various classical folk and martial art forms of Kerala.

Classical Art Forms of Kerala

Koodiyattom
Oldest art form Koodiyattom, (literally, dancing together) is the Sanskrit theatre of Kerala which is believed to have originated two millennia ago. The plays are in Sanskrit with the Chakyars performing the male roles and the Nangiars (women of the Nambiar community) performing the female roles. The Vidushaka or clown recites the Malayalam translation for the benefit of the audience. Manipravalam, a mixture of Sanskrit and Malayalam language owes its origin to Koodiyattom.

Kathakali

Kathakali (literally, story play), the spectacular classical dance drama of Kerala based on the guidelines laid by Sage Bharatha's Natya Sastra, the ancient treatise on dance and drama, is over 500 years old. This elaborate art form integrates dance, music, poetry and histrionics. And combines both the thandava (powerful energetic dance, as that of Shiva) and lasya (gentle graceful dance, as that of Parvathi) elements.

Chakyarkoothu

Chakyarkoothu, also called Koothu, is one of the oldest classical theatre arts of Kerala This solo dance is usually presented by members of the Chakyar community in the Koothambalams (temple theatres) of temples to the accompaniment of the mizhavu (drum in the shape of a large spherical copper pot) and elathalam. The Chakyar is an ideal satirist who uses narrative, mime, wit and innuendo to communicate with the audience, often cutting jokes even at the expense of the people present there. It is his prerogative, and custom has conferred upon him immunity from interruption during a performance. Themes are usually from the epics.

Ayurvedic Therapies ,Ayurveda,Malayalam Treatment

Ayurvedic Therapies

Abhyangam-

This total body massage with herbal oils tones the skin, rejuvenates and strengthens all the tissues so as to achieve ideal health and longevity. This increases primary vitality (Ojas) and resistance. It is also beneficial to the eyes and gives sound sleep and is also a cure for rheumatism. Abhyangam keeps your body fit, control fat, reduces sagging and makes the skin younger, reduces stress and increases circulation when massaged with medicated oils.

Pizzichil

A specialised treatment involving squeezing a cloth soaked in oil over the body. During this treatment, the patient is made to sit on the droni and then medicated oils are administered over the body and the head. Four therapists, two on either side of the patient aid in this process, especially if Dhara treatment is undertaken simultaneously. A cloth is tied over the patient’s forehead to prevent the oil from getting into the eyes. The warm medicated oil is then poured in a continually flowing single stream, squeezing a clean cloth dipped in oil over the body. The treatment starts and ends with the patient in a sitting position. In the duration in between, the patient is made to lie flat. As is the case with Dhara, the duration and bathing process varies with each patient. Pizhichil oil therapy helps alleviate skeletal and muscular diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, lumbago, sciatica, hemiplegia, neuropathy, and more. It is very important to note however, that because Ayurveda is tailor-made to suit each individual and the typical ailment, certain treatments might not be administered to him, as per doctor’s orders.

Shirodhara

A treatment where the patient is made to lie on a special wooden bed (droni) after which, the medicated oil/milk/buttermilk are poured in a prescribed continuous stream on the head by the therapist, who is also assisted by two other therapists. For the oil application on the head, a wide mouthed earthen vessel with a hole at the bottom is hung about two inches from the patient's forehead. A thread hangs forth from the hole along which the oil flows. The prescribed liquid is then poured into the vessel and on the upper forehead in a steady stream. The liquid drippings are collected and the oil is poured back into the vessel. The patient is then given a warm water bath or toweled off. This treatment continues depending on the severity of each case, in order to alleviate fatigue, improve memory, restore equilibrium and is also effective in cases involving insomnia, migraine, ear nose diseases, spondilitis and paraplegia

Swedana

This is a herbal steam treatment allowing the body to perspire and release impurities from the skin. It is excellent for helping soothe painful, sore or aching muscles and joints and for improving the complexion.

Nasya

International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Traffickling

International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking

In 1987, the UN General Assembly decided to observe 26 June as the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking as an expression of its determination to strengthen action and cooperation to achieve the goal of an international society free of drug abuse.
Kofi Annan, UN Secretary-General said " Illicit drugs destroy innumerable individual lives and undermine our societies. Confronting the illicit trade in drugs and its effects remains a major challenge for the international community."
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) leads the international campaign aimed at raising awareness of the major problem that illicit drugs represent to society and especially to young people. The mission of this , which runs from 2007 to 2009, is to inspire people and mobilize support for drug control. The international campaign "Do drugs control your life? Your life. Your community. No place for drugs" communicates that the destructive effects of illicit drugs concern us all. Their use destroys the life of all individual and societies. Drugs control the body and mind of individual consumers, the drug crop and drug cartels control farmers, trafficking and crime control communities.

This slogan for the day is thought provoking - 'Do drugs control your life? Your community' - No place for drugs, the slogan reinforces!
Teenagers and young adults are particularly vulnerable to using illicit drugs. The prevalence of drug use among young people is more than twice as high as that among the general population. At this age, peer pressure to experiment with illicit drugs can be strong and self-esteem is often low. Also, those who take drugs tend to be either misinformed or insufficiently aware of the health risks involved.The UNODC campaign reaches out to young people, who often talk about the "highs" induced by illicit drugs but may not be aware of the many "lows". Illicit drug use is a concern because it poses a threat to theirhealth. Negative effects vary depending on the type of drug consumed, the doses taken and the frequency of use. All illicit drugs have immediate physical effects, but they can also severely hinder psychological and emotional development, especially among young people.

What we have to do

Leading a healthy lifestyle requires making choices that are respectful of body and mind. To make these choices, young people need guidance from role models and need to get the facts about drug use. The international campaign provides young people and others with tools to educate themselves about the health risks associated with illicit drug use.The UNODC campaign focuses only on drugs under international control. These are drugs Member States have decided to limit exclusively to medical and scientific purposes, given the adverse effects their abuse and trafficking have on health and society. These illicit drugs include amphetamine-type stimulants (ATS), coca/cocaine, cannabis, hallucinogens, opiates, and sedative hypnotics.

Human trafficking

Human trafficking is the acquisition of people by improper means such as force, fraud or deception, with the aim of exploiting them.Smuggling migrants involves the procurement for financial or other material benefit of illegal entry of a person into a State of which that person is not a national or resident.Virtually every country in the world is affected by these crimes. The challenge for all countries, rich and poor, is to target the criminals who exploit desperate people and to protect and assist victims of trafficking and smuggled migrants, many of whom endure unimaginable hardships in their bid for a better life.
As the only United Nations entity focusing on the criminal justice element of these crimes, the work that UNODC does to combat human trafficking and the smuggling of migrants is underpinned by the United Nations Convention on Transnational Organized Crime and its protocols on trafficking in persons and migrant smuggling.

Contribution of the countries

The government of Japan contributed a grant of 7.000.000$ for the execution of UONDC activities in Afghanistan and neighbouring countries.
Denmark pledged the amount of 5.000.000 DKK (905.469$) for the UNODC General Purpose Fund.
Canada pledged the amount of 2.970.893 CAD (2.786.954$) for the Anti-Crime Capacity Building Program in Latin America and the Caribbean.
EC pledged 780.000€ for a programme support to the trial and treatment of piracy suspect in Seychelles.
UK/DICD pledged 210.000 pounds on Legal Advisory Programme in Colombia. UK/DIFD pledged 145.000 pounds for a project directed at fostering partnership with civil society on Drugs and Crime Prevention
Voluntary contributions to the activities of UNODC are provided by governments, consisting of major and emerging and national donors, UN Agencies, Inter-Governmental Organizations, International Financial Institutions (IFIs) and private donors, including private sector entities and foundations.

Voluntary donor contributions comprise two types:
General-purpose funds (GP), i.e. unearmarked voluntary contributions which finance UNODC's executive direction and management; Special-purpose funds (SP), which are earmarked voluntary contributions to finance UNODC's technical cooperation and other substantive activities at Headquarters (Vienna) and in the field.
In 2009, actual voluntary contributions for both drugs and crime programmes were pledged to an amount of US$ 215.2 million which represents a decrease of 17 per cent compared to last year (2008:US$ 260.3 million).

The distribution of the funding was as follows:
Earmarked or special purpose funding - US$ 204.1 million (94.8 per cent) Un-earmarked or general purpose funding - US$ 11.1 million (5.2 per cent) In terms of type of activity, the funding distribution between drugs and crime programmes was as follows:
Drugs Programme - US$ 137.6 million (64 per cent, compared with 74 per cent in 2008) Crime Fund - US$ 77.6 million (36 per cent, compared with 26 per cent in 2008) Illicit Drug Trafficking is a global problem. It has certainly ‘graduated’ from being an ‘American malady’ to a
global nuisance.

Sericulture ,Cocoons,silkworms,mulberry leaves

Sericulture

Sericulture is an agro-based industry. It involves rearing of silkworms for the production of raw silk, which is the yarn obtained out of cocoons spun by certain species of insects. The major activities of sericulture comprises of food-plant cultivation to feed the silkworms which spin silk cocoons and reeling the cocoons for unwinding the silk filament for value added benefits such as processing and weaving.SERICULTURE, the technique of silk production, is an agro-industry, playing an eminent role in the rural economy of India. Silk-fibre is a protein produced from the silk-glands of silkworms.
Historically, sericulture was introduced for the first time, into China by Hoshomin, the Queen of China. For a long time, sericulture was considered to be a national secret by the Chinese Government, and as an industry it was not known in other countries. Later, it was introduced into Europe and Japan as well. According to reports available, sericulture was introduced into India about 400 years back and the industry flourished as an agro-industry till 1857, with an annual production of two million pounds of silk fibre. The industry survived the onslaught of the Pebrine disease during the period from 1857 to 1895. However, after 1928, the sericulture industry showed a decline in its production owing to the fierce competition from advanced sericulture countries, such as Japan, China and European countries. After the Independence, the industry is flourishing as an agro-industry, giving employment to over 3.5 million people in the Country.
The annual production of silk in the world is estimated at 45,000 tonnes of which Japan and China contribute 18,936 and 13,200 tonnes respectively. South Korea, USSR and India are the other leading sericultural countries in the world. The industry has survived the stiff competition with the man-made fibres and it is now estimated by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations that the total requirement of silk by 1980 would be of the order of 80,000 tonnes, leaving a demand of 35,000 tonnes. Japan, which is the premier silk-producing country, owing to its recent industrialisation, high cost of labour and the shortage of land available foe mulberry cultivation, has its limitations in increasing its production. Further, owing to heavy internal consumption, Japan has become an importer of silk, thus widening the gap between production and demand. This situation has given a boost to the sericulture industry in the developing countries, e.g.India and South Korea.
Among the developing countries, India enjoys a very favourable position for doubling the present status of of silk porduction of 2,969 tonnes owing to the low cost of labour. sericulture is ideally suited for improving the rural economy of the country, as it is practised as a subsidiary industry to agriculture. Recent research has also shown that sericulture can be developed as a highly rewarding agro-industry.
In India(Karnataka state), where the temperature ranges from 16-31 degree centigrade, enjoys favourable climatic conditions for rearing the silkworm Bombyx mori throughout the year, whereas in West Bengal, the multivoltine silk-worm rearing is practised even under adverse conditions of temperature. In Jammu & Kashmir, the rearing of silkworms is practised once a year during May-June.
Of a life span of 50 days of B.mori, the egg stage lasts 10 days, the larval stage lasts longest-25-30 days. The pupa stage takes 10 days. The silkworm pass 4 moults during growth. The total quality of leaf required to raise a unit of 40,000 larvae(100 dfls) is 500-600 kg by using the traditional methods. The silkworms consume as much as 95% of the food after the third & fourth moults. At the end of the larval duration, the silkworm emits silk from its mouth & constructs a cocoon on a scaffolding. The cocoons produced by hybrids are used for extracting the silk fibre. For preparing the hybrid silkworm eggs, pure races of silkworms are raised in seperate areas. The cocoons are preserved properly in the egg-producing factories, popularly called silkworm grainages. the moths are allowed to emerge. The selected combination of moths are allowed to copulate for 4 hrs. The male after the first copulation is either rejected or used for copulating with another female. Later, the female is consigned to a dark plastic 'cellule'. She lays about 400 eggs in 24 hours. At the end of 24 hours, the female is crushed & examined for hereditary diseases. Only certified disease-free hybrid eggs are reared for industrial silk production.
Considering the various factors, such as the place of origin,voltinism, the colour of the cocoons, the larval markings, the colour ,shape & size of cocoons,the silkworms are classified into different breeds. The multivoltine races & their hybrids are reared in West Bengal & Karnataka. Owing to the non-diapausing of the eggs & the copious growth of the mulberry, these breeds can be reared six times & the cocoons are harvested after 2 months. These multivoltine hybrids have a short larval duration & are generally poor yielders of cocoons. Bivoltines, because of the interruption of diapause, can have only 2 life-cycles a year. However, its possible to break the diapause artificially by treating 1-day old eggs in Hydrochloric acid of 1.064 specific gravity at 46.1 degree centigrade. By adopting this technique, it is possible to take more than 4 crops in a year. Univoltines & bivoltines require more leaves than multivoltines. However, the yield & quality of the cocoons are superior to those of multivoltines. The multivoltine silkworms yield about 25 kg of cocoons per 40,000 eggs reared, whereas the bivoltines yield 40 kgs. The average annual yield of cocoons in India is as low as 150 kg under rainfed conditions, & under irrigated conditions, it is about 400 kg.
Strict Buddhists refrain from wearing or using silk products, as the silkworm pupae are killed in the process of making silk. Animal activists say that the practice of boiling cocoons in hot water for silk is cruel.

Taking full opportunity of the day,Ireland people honor their father and express affection and gratitude for them. Like in many other countries, people indulge their father by presenting them with loads of gift and allowing them a day of rest.

People whose father are no more, pay tribute by giving donations in the name of their father or by performing acts of service.Several clubs and cultural organizations in Ireland organize Father's Day programs to stress on the important role played by father in the development of the child USThe idea of observing a day in honor of father was conceptualized by Ms Sonora Smart Dodd, a loving daughter from Spokane. It so happened that Sonora attended a Mother's Day Sermon in 1909 and she was
struck with the noble idea that society must observe a day to honor the important contribution made by father in the raising of children. Encouraged by the love of her father, William Smart, a civil war veteranwho single-handedly raised her along with her five siblings after the death of her mother, Sonora worked rd to make her concept a reality. The noble idea of celebrating Father's Day soon spread across the nation. Father's Day was recognized by a Joint Resolution of Congress in 1956. Finally, in 1972 President Nixon established Father's Day as a permanent national day of observance on the third Sunday of June. The day is observed as a time for family reunion in families, as children who are staying away from families take time out to celebrate the day with their father.

But thanks to the rigorous advertising campaign launched by card companies and gift sellers the idea of celebrating Father's Day is fast catching on with people in smaller towns and cities of India.

Mobile Phones,digital camera,Touch Screen

History of Mobile Phones

Around 15 years ago when mobile phones were introduced to the telecommunication market they were heavy . There were only two things a mobile phone could do, making and receiving calls. But because of the present technological advance the mobile phones changed into light weight, sophisticated, multitasking devices. A mobile phone now, comes with an embedded digital camera ( the latest Sony Models offer around 12 megapixel) that is coupled with features like autofocus, digital zoom, video recording capabilities. Memory capabilities have increased considerably with the emergence of flash based memory cards, which offer a memory ranging between 128 MB to 32 GB. Music player with considerable audio capabilities are incorporated within the mobile phones. You can store your favourite music in the device and the memory options available, support it pretty well. Internet browsing is another feature that has made lives simpler.
Mobile phones can be basically classified into following categories:

Basic Phones: The cellphones are basic phones with simple features like phonebook, text messaging, alarm, calendar etc...... these phones generally come under lower price range, and form the major portion of mobile phone market. There are a lot of companies including Nokia,Samsung, Sony Erricson and LG which are manufacturing basic phones.
Smartphones: These phones are capable of doing everything ranging from sending e-mails, to communication, entertainment, productivity etc. They are offering ultra-portability with PC like features. Smartphones are available in following popular user interface options.

Business Phones: These devices come with a QWERTY keyboard interface (commonly found in PC's), which is specifically designed for working with emails and other office related applications such as excel, powerpoint, word, outlook etc. These phones are generally preferred by business professionals who prefer e-mail and internet connectivity anywhere they go. Easy navigation is another key feature of this phone, as it is basically designed for internet browsing. Apart from these they have a camera, music player, FM radio, GPRS and 2G or 3G support.

Touchscreen: Touchscreen is a display that can detect the presence and location of a touch within the display area for user interface. These phones generally lay more emphasis on suave looks, easy navigation and high end entertainment features. A good camera, expandable memory options, digital music players with good audio quality, and of course the internet browsing facility.

PDA Phones: PDA ( Personal Digital Assistant) is a higher form of business phones and came into existence much before the smartphones. They are coupled with advanced PC like functionalities, and are pretty expensive. Like PC's, they too work on OS (Operating Systems), with MS Mobile Pocket PC and Palm OS being the most popular. The major difference between a smartphone and a PDA is, that PDA's have a little more advanced and sophisticated functionalities than their counterpart. With rapid development and technological advances, the difference between PDA's and smartphones is slowly fading out.
