The technology itself impresses so much. The Car can run on a process of photosynthesis, the process which is followed by trees. It will take CO2 and exhausts OXYGEN.

Chinese automaker Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation recently unveiled designs for a photosynthesizing concept car that could take in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.

Some technical details as provided say that YeZ roof “absorbs solar energy and transforms it into electricity while spinning rotors on the four wheels generate power from the wind.” and it would have two-seater “metal-organic framework,” which would work to absorb CO2 and water, turning them into electricity that would get stored in a lithium-ion battery.

Well, looks like we are on a good way of developing eco-friendly cars a better way. It may take some more years to be available commercially.

Summer is a wonderful time to be outdoors and to be active. It is the vacation season for millions. But summer can be a very dangerous time as well. And, like it or not, once we reach the age of 65 or we develop heart disease or high blood pressure, we are at greater risk of suffering a heat-related illness during the summer. Here, then, are my top summer health and safety tips for retirees.

1. Know the symptoms of heat-related illnesses. The greatest risk, of course if heat stroke. But other problems can also occur due to summer heat. Thirst and less frequent urination are signs of dehydration. Prickly heat bumps are a really irritating skin rash. Some people experience cramps and swelling of the hands and feet. It is also possible to experience heat exhaustion (clammy skin, paleness, dizziness, nausea, fever, and headache). Heat stroke symptoms include: sluggishness, rapid heart rate and breathing, confusion and irritability, high body temperature, intense muscle aches, fever, diarrhea or nausea and even fainting and convulsions. Heat stroke is a life-threatening situation. People suffering heat stroke need to get to a hospital immediately.

2. Drink lots of water throughout the day. Water cools and prevents dehydration. Be sure to drink lots of water throughout the day, not just with meals. Sports drinks are also helpful. But avoid drinks with a lot of caffeine, lots of sugar, or alcohol because they can cause you to lose more body fluids.

3. Be smart about physical exertion. It is best to limit exercise to moderate activity. Plan to engage in any activities that require great physical exertion either early in the day (before it gets really hot) or late at night (after the sun goes down and it cools off). You will find that you have more energy at these times and that you place yourself at less risk for heat-related problems.

4. Protect your skin. Protecting your skin with either a hat, clothing or sun screen will not only prevent an uncomfortable sun burn, but it will protect your skin against the damaging UV rays of the sun and protect you from potential skin cancer. Sun Protection Factor (SPF) 30+ or higher is the best choice. If you plan to be in the water, it is important to use a water resistant sunscreen. You can also protect your face, neck and ears by wearing a hat with a wide brim.

5. Think about your clothing. Most of us dress for the occasion or the purpose. But as we grow older and our skin becomes more sensitive and our bodies are more likely to feel the effects of heat, we also need to think about what we wear a bid differently in summer. Of course, we want to wear cool clothing. Lightweight clothing is best, but with a tight weave, if possible to keep off the sun. Remember that natural fabrics breathe better than synthetics. And don’t forget that black clothing tends to absorb heat while white clothing tends to reflect it.

6. Know how heat and sun interact with your medications. Some medicines make us more sensitive to the sun (increased photosensitivity), more sensitive to heat, or more likely to become dehydrated. A quick conversation with your physician or pharmacist will alert you to problems that could arise due to your medications.

7. Pay attention to Air Quality Warnings. Breathing difficulties are more common as we grow older. Smog, pollutants, allergens and humidity can make it difficult to breathe. Check your television weather information or check online to see what the air quality is before engaging in strenuous activities or before deciding to spend time outdoors.

8. Don’t forget to protect your eyes. The UV rays of the sun can also damage your eyes, and will be uncomfortable, especially if you are developing cataracts. Always protect your eyes when outdoors by wearing tinted lenses, a hat with a wide brim, or sunglasses.

9. Stay as cool as you can. Staying indoors in an air conditioned place is the best way to protect yourself from the summer heat. Electric fans might be helpful, up to a point, but once the temperature passes the 90 degree mark, they really don’t do enough. If you don’t have air conditioning, you might want to visit a friend or family member, go to a public place, like a library, shopping mall, etc. or a “cooling center” to spend time in cooler air. Even a few hours in a cool environment can help you prevent heat-related illness. The best time to go to a cooling center is always during the hottest part of the day.

10. Rest. Try to space out your activities so you have time to rest between them. If you begin to feel the effects of summer heat, stop what you are doing and rest for a bit before continuing. The less active we are the less our bodies are stressed by heat.

In addition, be safe by paying attention to normal safety tips. When traveling, pull over to eat snacks. This year, we should all be particularly careful where we swim and especially where we dive since many lakes and ponds have been affected by this year’s droughts and have significantly lower water levels. And, be very careful with fire of any kind.

A presentation on topic Blogging

Here I will be writing details of each point which is in the slide show. The slide show has total seven slides and is better for 5-10 minutes presentation. You can make changes and add more for increasing time of your presentation.  Click here to download the slide show. It is compatible with Office 2007.

In the first slide you will see is the topic name and a tag line.

I have given the tagline as “Sharing yourself online”, as blogs are about sharing and is maintained by individuals.

In the second slide you will see the overview.

They are the points which are to be explained one by one in the same order during the session.

1. Definition
2. Blogging account and design
3. Blog posting
4. Micro blogging
5. Conclusion

In the third slide you will see the definition.

You have to explain about the word blog. Here I have written two points

1. Blog is a contraction of the term “web blog”
2. Website by individual

The short form “blog” was coined by Peter Merholz, he jokingly broke the word weblog into the phrase we blog in the sidebar of his blog peterme.com in April or May 1999. (More details can be known from Wikipedia.com searching the term Blog or Blogging). There are lots of blogs now and many are also having different categories such as Photo Blog, Art Blog, Sports Blog, MP3 Blog, etc…

In the fourth slide you will see blogging account and blog design.

Here you can show how to have own blog.

1. Blogspot.com (Free)
2. WordPress.com (Free)
3. Typepad.com (Free trail/Paid)

These are some of the websites which provide blog account services. The first two are free to join and the third one offers free-trail account and paid account. Any individual can register themselves on these blogs and start blogging. The free services offers you the blog address as name.blogspot.com or name.wordpress.com You can buy a domain if you want to have your own .com name.

1. Name and a tag line
2. Theme
3. Logo

Some basic points for a blog are a simple and good name, good theme design with fast loading and an attractive logo.

In the fifth slide you will see Blog posting.

Here a good explanation is given of how to and what to post in a blog.

1. Post title/Headline
2. Links
3. Maximum Information
4. Short post (200-300 words)
5. Bullet points
6. Sub headings
7. Style
8. Keywords
9. Editing

Selecting a title for the post is very important, as it is to relate to the content you are posting. The title itself should speak about what is content is. Selecting a good title will attract visitors, readers to read further.

Some times we use words which are not regularly used or may be the reader is not familiar, linking that words with Wikipedia or any online dictionary will make it more good, as reader can just and know what is the meaning of the word easily.

The post should contain the maximum information, full information only can attract readers to read further posts of your blogs. Half information will make reader to refer other websites and your post may not interest him/her.

The post with 200-300 words will have better attraction. Many people just leave if the post is too long. Try to make your post as short as possible with maximum information.

Using bullet points is one of the ways to reduce the number of words. It gives information clearer.

Sub headings will help reader to scan the post quickly. Lets say if I am a reader and while reading I wanted to read a line which I just read in earlier points, I can easily scan and go to that line. If the post if filled fully with words, it is not easy to find out.

The style in which you write the post is to be maintained same with all the posts as any reader will find easy to go through your blog and posts.

Keywords play an important role, as these are used by search engines. Giving a relative keyword will help readers to find the related post easily.

Editing is the most important thing which has to be done before you publish your post. You have check grammer, vocab, spelling, etc… and then post it.

In the sixth slide you will see Micro blogging and Wall posts.

Micro-blogging, the name itself says that there is some limit on blogging.

1. Twitter.com (140 Characters)
2. Meme.yahoo.com (Added features)

Wall posts

1. Facebook.com
2. Myspace.com

You can see some of the websites here which are listed, provides micro blogging services.  Twitter.com is one of the mostly used and famous website used for micro blogging. It has a limitation of 140 characters only. So you have to break and use most of the word. For posting links which are big, you have to use other services like shortening URL. These services shorten the big URL and give a short new URL. This makes posting easier for URL’s. While twitter.com provides only text to post meme.yahoo.com provides Photo as well as video. Other websites like facebook.com and myspace.com have micro blogging with name wall posts. Well they don’t have limitation but posts are smaller.

In the seventh slide you will see conclusion and thank you.

I hope I have made briefly explanation of blogging and given an idea for individuals of how to start a blog.

Swami Dayanand Saraswati was born on February 12^th 1824, in the village Tankara in the state of Gujrat. He is well known for creation of Arya Samaj, explaining Vedas to people, first man who gave the call for Swarajya “India for Indians” in 1876.

In his early life, when he was a young child, he had incidents which resulted in questioning traditional beliefs of Hinduism and inquiring about God. One of the well known incident, which is also celebrated, is the night of Shivratri. When he was in a temple for overnight worship with his parents, he saw a mouse eating the offerings kept for God. He was surprised and wondered, how a God, who cannot even protect his own offerings, would protect humanity.

In the search of true knowledge he learnt Sanskrit and become a wondering monk. After two decades he found Swami Virjananda who became his guru. Dayananda threw away all books and knowledge as asked by his Guru he started from a clean state and learnt directly from Vedas. He stayed under Swami Virjananda’s tutelage (guardian) for two and a half years. After finishing his education for his guru dakshina hi guru asked him to spread knowledge of Vedas in society. It is during his mission, Dayanand Saraswati gave the call.

Satyarth Prakash (Light of truth) is one of the works he did in his life which is a book he wrote for spreading the knowledge of Vedas.
