How to reduce your obesity?
Take a Few Steps
Do you really have to hunt for clothes that will fit you?
Whenever there is a sale, do you come back disappointed because the clothes on sale are for ‘normal’ people?
Do you feel a little guilty when you bite burger?
To put it plainly, are you obese?
Even if you are, stop worrying. Just read on and find out how you can shed those extra pounds and war the clothes you always dreamt of.
Crammed apartments with little space to exercise, long hours at the office the junk food for lunch and the quick bites al add up to make you overweight and obese.
Obesity is a major risk factor for diabetes. Now don’t confuse being obesity and overweight. Overweight is excess body weight whereas obesity means having high proportion of body fat. If physical exercises are nil and the intake of high calorie food is high you are prone to obesity.
Obesity takes a toll on you both physically and mentally. It makes you feel tired, gets you those awkward glances and invites a host of other diseases, diabetes being one of them. When the pancreas doesn’t produce any or enough insulin, it leads to accumulation of excess of sugar in the blood, which is bad for you.
The simplest way of tackling both of these health problems is to maintain a healthy weight, exercise regularly and inculcate healthy eating habits. Exercising for 30 minutes everyday is good enough. It’s not necessary to go for strenuous exercise, even walking can do wonders.
Simple Exercise To Reduce Weight
1.Climb stairs. Even if you don’t have much room indoors, there would be stairs; use them.
2.Try to clean your floors without the vacuum cleaner. Bring on the good old jhadu pochha.
3.Try keeping a pet.
4.Each time your pet has to go out to answer nature’s call, you need to take him or her out!

How to develop Social Skills?
Hi folks!
It is our social skills that help us to work with others, initiate and sustain personal relationships, function effectively as members of a team/group and lead other people. Social skills are important in all aspects of our lives in the community and at work. If you are of the opinion that only professionals in the hospitality business or in media industry require social skills, think again. You may be a senior scientist, a business man, a social workers or a mathematician, but you cannot ignore social skills. Employers are increasingly looking for people who not only possess the technical/professional competence needed to perform well but also those who possess ‘people’ skills or ‘soft’ skills.
Social skills include the ability to communicate and to work harmoniously with others. This is nothing new because we have all been learning how to deal with others and co-exist from the time we were born, through school and college and into the workplace. Social skills may appear to come easily to some people, but that does not reveal the amount of time, effort and attention to detail they would have put into building and maintaining their relationships.
If your social skills are not as up to mark, there is nothing to stop you form learning. Start by the simple measure of making good eye contact, smiling and positive body language. Sometimes, lack of social skills stems from having too little interaction with others. You can resolve that by making an effort to join a club or meeting up with your interpersonal contemporaries/friends and associates every few weeks to catch up and establish ease in your interpersonal communication.
Communication is about expressing and exchanging ideas and feelings with one another. Some people are inhibited because they feel that it is not necessary to share opinions, feelings, news or knowledge. Unwillingness to initiate communication also shows a lack of empathy. You are unwilling to imagine or overlooking reasons why others should be interested in your feeling and knowledge.
Effective communication is always a two way process. When you are ready to share information, thoughts, feeling etc, it also means that you are willing to listen and receive feedback. Listening well is crucial to competence in communication and enhancement of social skills. When there is a dialogue, it can help to erase mind blocks and avoid misunderstanding.
Building rapport is central to developing strong, meaningful relationships. Rapport hinges on empathy, which emerges out of casual conversations about family, sports, children and everyday life. Being able to detect and have insights about other people’s feelings, motives and concerns can lead to a sense of rapport. To sustain a collaborative work environment, it is also important for the group to have fun together. Groups that being in each other’s company, joking and sharing good times amass emotional capital which helps them to excel in good times and also to get through the bad times. Social skills help to get through bad times.
Social skills help to initiate and establish networks and relationships, but maintaining them demands both skills and commitment.

How to invest in Art?
Don’t just go for the prestigious artists. Buy the work of some, young budding artists too.
Buy something with passion, not just as an investment. The work is most likely to go up in value anyway.
Research the artist and his work
Read the latest art magazines and publications. Be up-to-date with information.
Attend as many art events as possible
Refine and develop your eye for art.
Keep a list of galleries and visit exhibitions.
If you buy an artist who is not living, you will need proper documentation. Have a condition report made.
Remember, there are a number of things a collector should be looking at. Insurance is one of them.
Who would have thought, a decade ago, that art could be a sound investment? Well, many people did and today investing in art is big. But how does a novice begin investing in art? Says Aporajita Mukerji owner of an online art portal, “the most important investments are knowledge and appreciation. Enroll for an art appreciation course, read up exhaustively on the net and peruse catalogues and art letters as well.”
Adds art collector Harsh Goenka who estimates the current art market in India to be worth about Rs 1,200 crore ( $ 240000), “ one needs to have an eye for spotting good works and a fairly good understanding of the artist, “ he says, “ The established ones, of course. Then there are many promising youngsters in Baroda as well.” For those who are keen on investing, his advice is , “ Go by your gut feel. Visit galleries, look at art and most importantly, ask questions.”
Likewise, Neville Tulli who heads Osian’s feels that the market is at a very nascent stage at the global level. For him, the value of an artwork in the medium-long term is the historical significance of the artist and his work. Independent curator and gallery owner Vikram Sethi opines that India has an undefined art market that needs to be tapped. He believes that quality art makes for a good investment. To him, it’s the youngsters who hold promise. But he cautions that only those with strength in their art will have lasting value.” Art is a great investment and buying art is sexy as it puts you on the top of the world,” he states.
The art market is growing, with awareness spreading across the globe about the potential contemporary Indian art as an investment, According to art dealer Ashish Balram Nagpal, art that is honest and not merely pretty, will survive. “ An artist should stick to his personal stand, for the statement that his art wants to make, “ he believes.
Art collector and a regular at art events, Pritish Nandy says, “As the art market is a nascent one, estimates regarding its size are vague. But it is growing and will soon be comparable to art markets overseas. “A good and sound art investment can be of three types: contemporary masters, the old classics, and new and young talent. According to him, artist to watch out for are Prabhakar Barve, Vaikuntam, Laxman Gaud, Jeram Patel, Shakti Burman, Ghulam Mohammed Sheikh, scultures like Prithpal Singh Ladi and Himmat Shah.

Following guidelines can really help the students for final round of preparation for IIT-JEE :
15 days before IIT-JEE
- Scan all the topics in a stipulated time frame.
- Plan your schedule for your revision and exercise.
- Start concentration on the topics that you have covered rather wasting time on new topics particularly when exam is just 15 days ahead.
- Revise all important concepts and formulas to recall them without any effort or thought.
- The IIT-JEE test carries negative marking for wrong answer. So your familiarity with concepts would play a critical role.
7 days before IIT-JEE
- Master Time Management Skills
- Divide the total time into components based on total number of questions and your conceptual knowledge.
- Develop the habit of gauging question whether you will be able to solve it.
- You should reach the test center at least half an hour before the exam.
- Some students complain of nausea or headache during the test of just before the test. So keep relevant medicine handy.
During the IIT-JEE
- Enter the examination hall in a positive mood to crack the test.
- Re-check your stationeries and synchronize your wristwatch with the center’s clock
- Invest time in reading the instructions quickly.
- Be attentive in filling the information sheet. Clarify even your simplest doubt with the exam supervisor.
- Do not use a red pen or pen where data is to be filled with pencil only.
- Read all instructions carefully. Also see, which question carry negative marks.
- Give all three subjects equal time that means 60 minutes each for physics, chemistry and mathematics.
- Concentrate on one question at a time.
- Use a diagram or value of constants given in the paper in solving a numerical. If the value is not mentioned, use the one you remember.
- Carry out all rough work only in the space given in the paper.
- Attempting to solve all questions in haste increases the chances of error. It is better to solve slightly fewer questions faultlessly.
- While attempting questions, go on segregating them by putting some identification mark. These questions are from topics that you have prepared.

How to know complete details about space shuttle ?
What is space shuttle?
A Space Transportation System (STS) or space shuttle is a manned launched vehicle. The main components of STS are an external tank, two solid rocket boosters and a winged orbitor.
The orbiter carries astronauts and payload into low earth orbit. Most often the orbiter itself is referred to as the the space shuttle, which is technically a misnomer. The shuttle is the first orbital spacecraft designed for partial reusability. The space shuttle will retire by 2010 and Orion, a new vehicle that is designed to take humans to the Moon and beyond, will replace it.
What was the need to make reusable spacecraft?
The main concept behind Nasa’s Space Shuttle Programme was to increase the viability of the space trip. The shuttle was designed to meet the challenge of exploration as well as to do many other jobs at a reduced cost. It was also proposed that an STS would help in routine utilization of space. However, all these claims were later criticized, given the fact that per-pound launch cost are not appreciably cheaper, as well as the years of interruption s in launches following shuttle failures.
How does the shuttle works?
The shuttle takes off like a rocket, operates in orbit as a spacecraft, and lands like a airplane. After the first two minutes of flight, the two solid fuel boosters are cut loose from the tank. The spent boosters eject parachutes and fall down about 280 km from the launch site, from the are collected for reuse.
After some time , the external tank is also cast off. It is however not suitable for reuse. Free from the tank and booster, the orbiter fires its manoeuvring engines and consequently, reshapes the egg-shaped flight path to a circular orbit. Now the shuttle is ready for work.
Coming back to earth is most critical and demanding part of the shuttle voyage. The orbiter has to change from spacecraft to an aircraft. The most difficult part is controlling the shuttle at middle speeds and altitudes, during the re-entry into the atmosphere, air friction heats up the orbiter, apart from the fact the ionization in the surrounding atmosphere blacks out communication with the ground for some time.
At an altitude of about 93 km, the air becomes dense enough so that aerodyanamic controls take hold, and the orbiter becomes a heavy glider.
Without fuel for its main engines, the craft wouldn’t be able to go around for a second landing approach in case of a miscalculation, as an airliner could, hence, it becomes very important to have clear landing conditions and a comparatively large runway.
What Is the importance of the heat shield , in the re-entry of any spacecraft?
When a manned space vehicle reenters the earth’s atmosphere, air friction can produce external surface temperatures as high as 3000 degrees Fahrenheit – well about the melting point of steel. Special thermal barriers are required to protect the vehicle and its occupants. The earlier space capsules were protected during reentry by shedding layers of heavy, resinous heat shield through a process called ablation.
With a design life of about 100 missions, the shuttle requires a light weight, reusable thermal protection, approximately 24,300 tiles and 2,300 flexible insulation blankets are pasted on the outside of the orbiter. The pasting is a complicated system as no two tiles on an orbiter are exactly alike. The tiles are delicate and have to be protected from stresses. The Columbia disaster took place when the debris of a piece of insulated foam damaged one of these tiles.
How is the nomenclature of space shuttle done?
Space shuttles are named after pioneering sea vessels. Atlantis is named for the research vessel that was the first to use electronic sounding devices to map the ocean floor. Challenger was named for the sloop captained by Robert Gray who explored British Columbia.
Discovery is named for one for the two ships used by the British explorer Captain James Cook. The other of Cook’s ships is the namesake for the shuttle Endeavour. Enterprise, the first space shuttle Orbiter, was originally to be named constitution. However, viewers of the TV science fiction show ‘STAR TREK’ started a writein campaign urging the white house to rename the vehicle Enterprise.
