tv doesnt make you lazy and violent

First of I disagree that all of us are born with a blank slate. Some of us are in deed born with different mental
processes and temperaments on a psychological level. We learn good and bad behaviors from interacting with other
people. As child, your guardian has more of an influence over your actions than any video game or TV program
because they are your concrete influences. While too much TV can be problematic, it isn't' the television's fault that
you became violent or lazy, but instead it is the fault of negligence and poor parenting. All TV does is provide the
content, parenting decides your interpretation of that content.

In fact, most violent people learn to be violent through relationships with other people. It is a portion of mentally ill
and sociopathic people who are violent because they are less empathetic are easily influenced by negative
programming. However, relationships determine how your are socialized into behaving.

As far as lazy...TV can't make you lazy because everyone who looks at TV isn't lazy. To say TV makes people lazy is
like saying working makes your rich. Yes you can get rich by working, but people who aren't rich also work. Yes, lazy
people sit around and watch TV, but so do active people.

Ways to keep room cool in summers
1. Reflect Light
Use light-colored curtains on the windows. Light colors reflect the sun. If you want to be dang certain to
keep the light out of your room put foil in the windows, shiny side out.
2. Use Awnings
An awning can reduce solar heat gain by 65-77%. That'll lower the temperature some.
3. Ceiling Fan
A ceiling fan can cut your energy use by about 40% percent in the summer. However, just throwing up a
ceiling fan isn't going to save you energy. You need to make sure that its properly installed and rotating in
the right direction.

Place room units on the north side of the house when possible. An AC unit
operating in the shade uses up to 10% less electricity than one in the sun. Long-term
fix: Plant trees to shade your windows and save as much as 25% of the energy a
typical home uses.


Ways to keep room hot in winters
1.Change your bedding. Thin cotton isn't great for winter, try brushed cotton which is warmer,
or try jersey knit. Cotton flannel is good for a winter comforter too. Choose warm rich colors like
red, plum, maroon, and brown. White also looks good in winter. Buy some chunky knit blankets
for extra warmth at night.
2.Go around your house and check all of your windows. Check to see that all of your windows are
properly shut. This includes making sure storm windows are down and your Windows should be
latched. Use a lit incense stick to check for drafts and if you find they are leaking, you should cover
them in a clear plastic.
3. Put up sets of heavy curtains. These can block drafts on both windows AND doors. Open them
when the sun is shining to help pull in the solar heat into your house and close them when it gets
cloudy or dark out to better keep the heat in.
The Story of Indian Zero.
The story of zero is always been an interesting and proud story for any indian. Today I found the
story behind zero which is almost unknown to me here. I am not a very good learner of vedic
mathematics but I could not resist to be a fan of them. Vedic Mathematics has got most powerful
algorithm at the ages of ancient india and rediscovered in 1911 by Sri Bharati Krsna Tirthaji (1884-1960).
Some interesting notes on Zero Evolution.
India: 458 A.D. (debated)
The final independent invention of the zero was in India. However, the time and the independence of this
invention has been debated. Some say that Babylonian astronomy, with its zero, was passed on to Hindu
astronomers but there is no absolute proof of this, so most scholars give the Hindus credit for coming up
with zero on their own.
The reason the date of the Hindu zero is in question is because of how it came to be.
Most existing ancient Indian mathematical texts are really copies that are at most a few hundred years
old. And these copies are copies of copies of copies passed through the ages. But the transcriptions are
error free...can you imagine copying a math book without making any errors? Were the Hindus very good
proofreaders? They had a trick.
Math problems were written in verse and could be easily memorised, chanted, or sung. Each word in the
verse corresponded to a number. For example,
viya dambar akasasa sunya yama rama veda
sky (0) atmosphere (0) space (0) void (0) primordial couple (2) Rama (3) Veda (4)
0 0 0 0 2 3 4
Indian place notation moved from left to right with ones place coming first. So the phrase above
translates to 4,230,000.
Using a vocabulary of symbolic words to note zero is known from the 458 AD cosmology
textLokavibhaga. But as a more traditional numeral--a dot or an open circle--there is no record until 628,
though it is recorded as if well-understood at that time so it's likely zero as a symbol was used before
628.
Which it probably was, considering that 30 years previously, an inscription of a date using a zero symbol
in the Hindu manner was made in Cambodia.
A striking note about the Hindu zero is that, unlike the Babylonian and Mayan zero, the Hindu zero
symbol came to be understood as meaning "nothing." This is probably because of the use of number
words that preceded the symbolic zero.

MAhabharat
The Mahabharata or Mahbhrata (Sanskrit: Mahbhratam pronounced mabartm is
one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India, the other being the Ramayana.[1]
Besides its epic narrative of the Kurukshetra War and the fates of the Kaurava and the Pandava princes,
the Mahabharata contains philosophical and devotional material, such as a discussion of the four "goals
of life" or purusharthas (12.161). Among the principal works and stories in the Mahabharata are the
Bhagavad Gita, the story of Damayanti, an abbreviated version of the Ramayana, and the Rishyasringa,
often considered as works in their own right.
Traditionally, the authorship of the Mahabharata is attributed to Vyasa. There have been many attempts
to unravel its historical growth and compositional layers. The oldest preserved parts of the text are
thought to be not much older than around 400 BCE, though the origins of the epic probably fall between
the 8th and 9th centuries BCE.[2] The text probably reached its final form by the early Gupta period (c.
4th century.3 The title may be translated as "the great tale of the Bhrata dynasty". According to the
Mahabharata itself, the tale is extended from a shorter version of 24000 verses called simply Bhrata.4
The Mahabharata is the longest known epic poem and has been described as "the longest poem ever
written".[5][6] Its longest version consists of over 100,000 shloka or over 200,000 individual verse lines
(each shloka is a couplet), and long prose passages. About 1.8 million words in total, the Mahabharata is
roughly ten times the length of the Iliad and the Odyssey combined, or about four times the length of the
Ramayana.[7][8] W. J. Johnson has compared the importance of the Mahabharata to world civilization to
that of the Bible, the works of Shakespeare, the works of Homer, Greek drama, or the Qur'an.[9]

Mandela place of birth
Mvezo is a small village on the banks of the Mbashe River, not far from Mthatha in the Eastern Cape of
South Africa. The village is mainly known as being the birthplace of Nelson Mandela, whose family serves
as its chiefly dynasty.
Gandhi palace of birth

Porbandar
Mahatma Gandhi, Place of birth
1. Porbandar is a coastal city in the Indian state of Gujarat, perhaps best known for being the birthplace of
Mahatma Gandhi and Sudama. It is the administrative center of Porbandar District.

Early life of mandela
Rolihlahla "Nelson" Mandela was born on the 18th July 1918 in Qunu, South Africa. As the youngest son of a
respected African chief, Rolihlahla was offered the opportunity to go to school. Here he was named "Nelson" by one
of his teachers. Mandela eventually studied at both the University of Fort Hare and the University of Witwatersrand
and qualified in law, setting up a law practice in Johannesburg with his friend Walter Sisulu. It was the injustices he
dealt with on a daily basis that began to influence him.
Early lkife of Gandhi
Mohandas Gandhi was the last child of his father (Karamchand Gandhi) and his father's fourth wife
(Putlibai). During his youth, Mohandas Gandhi was shy, soft-spoken, and only a mediocre student at
school. Although generally an obedient child, at one point Gandhi experimented with eating meat,
smoking, and a small amount of stealing -- all of which he later regretted. At age 13, Gandhi married
Kasturba (also spelled Kasturbai) in an arranged marriage. Kasturba bore Gandhi four sons and
supported Gandhi's endeavors until her death in 1944.
Method of struggle
The main difference has been in their attitude towards non-violence. Unlike Gandhi, Mandela did
approve of the use of violence against what he considered a stronger and brutal enemy. In the wake
of the Sharpeville massacre on 21 March 1960, South Africas equivalent of Indias Jalianwala Bagh
massacre, wherein 69 PAC protesters were killed and 180 injured in the police firing, the ANC, also
banned along with the PAC after the incident, concluded that the Gandhian methods of non-violence
were not suitable against the apartheid system. It was decided that violent tactics had to be used,
which primarily involved targeting and sabotaging the governments resources, though, of course,
with an initial wish to minimise the bloodshed of civilians.
Outcome of struggle
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, popularly known as Mahatma Gandhi was a major political and spiritual
leader of India who led the country in the non-cooperation movement in 1922 and Salt march in 1930
and later in Quit India movement in 1942 during its struggle for independence. Known as Beloved Baapu
in India, Mahatma Gandhi adopted the policy of mass disobedience and non-violent resistance as
weapons against the British Rule in India and followed a principle of Ahimsa (total Non-Violence). He
endured several hardships, was arrested and occasionally beaten in his journey and struggle to Justice
and Freedom. However, his struggle does not restrict to India itself, as the leader played a key role in the
Civil Rights movement in South Africa and secured them the right to justice and equality. His birthday 2
October is commemorated as Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday and as the International Non-Violence
day across the world.
After the banning of the ANC in 1960, Nelson Mandela argued for the setting up of a military wing within
the ANC. In June 1961, the ANC executive considered his proposal on the use of violent tactics and
agreed that those members who wished to involve themselves in Mandela 's campaign would not be
stopped from doing so by the ANC. This led to the formation of Umkhonto we Sizwe. Mandela was
arrested in 1962 and sentenced to five years ' imprisonment with hard labour. In 1963, when many
fellow leaders of the ANC and the Umkhonto we Sizwe were arrested, Mandela was brought to stand
trial with them for plotting to overthrow the government by violence. His statement from the dock
received considerable international publicity. On June 12, 1964, eight of the accused, including Mandela,
were sentenced to life imprisonment. From 1964 to 1982, he was incarcerated at Robben Island Prison,
off Cape Town; thereafter, he was at Pollsmoor Prison, nearby on the mainland.During his years in
prison, Nelson Mandela 's reputation grew steadily. He was widely accepted as the most significant
black leader in South Africa and became a potent symbol of resistance as the anti-apartheid movement
gathered strength. He consistently refused to compromise his political position to obtain his freedom.
Achievements
Gandhi went on a 21 day fast to protest against the war between the Muslims and the Hindus and also to
protest against Great Britain no allowing India to be free.

*The greatest accomplishment of Gandhi was his life-long fight for the independence of India. His dream
for his country's independence finally became reality on August 15, 1947.

*Gandhi led a 200 mile Salt March so that the people of India could make and gather their own salt. His
goal was for the people of India not to buy salt from the British.

*Gandhi was a successful lawyer with a law office in South Africa.

*He changed the face of this planet and the way most of us think about different races, colours, and
backgrounds. This man had an extraordinary mind that opened our eyes to see equality through the eyes
of everyone.

Importance of ozone layee
Ozone is a gas in the atmosphere that protects everything living on the Earth from harmful ultraviolet
(UV) rays from the Sun. Without the layer of ozone in the atmosphere, it would be very difficult for
anything to survive on the surface. (Think of a very bad sunburn, only much worse!) Plants cannot live
and grow in heavy ultraviolet radiation, nor can the plankton that serve as food for most of the ocean
life. The ozone layer acts as a shield to absorb the UV rays, and keep them from doing damage at the
Earth's surface.
CFC and HCFCs - mostly used in refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump
systems. Only HCFCs can continue to be used for a limited period of time.
Halons - used historically as fire suppression agents and fire fighting, but now only
allowed in very limited situations
Carbon tetrachloride (Tetrachloromethane) - limited solvent use in laboratories and
chemical and pharmaceutical industry.
1,1,1,-trichloroethane - limited solvent use in laboratories and chemical and
pharmaceutical industry.
Methyl bromide - historically used in fumigation, soil treatment, pest control,
quarantine, market gardening. Methyl bromide is no longer registered for use in
Ireland.
Hydrobromofluorocarbons - historically used in fire suppression systems and fire
fighting.
Bromochloromethane - historically used in the manufacture of biocides

Holes created in it

Every spring, a hole as big as the USA develops in the ozone layer over Antarctica,
in the South Pole. A smaller hole develops each year over the Arctic, at the North
Pole. And there are signs that the ozone layer is getting
thinner all over the planet.
Scientists have discovered that the ozone hole over
Antarctica started in 1979, and that the ozone layer generally
started to get thin in the early 1980s.
The loss of the ozone layer occurs when more ozone is being
destroyed than nature is creating.
There are many things we can do to help reduce air pollution and global warming.
Use buses and trains instead of cars, as they can carry a lot
more people in one journey. This cuts down the amount of
pollution produced.
Walking or cycling whenever you can
will be even better, as it does not
create any pollution. It will also be good for your body, as
regular exercise will keep you fit and healthy.
If your parents must use the car, ask them to
avoid using it for very short journeys if possible,
as this creates unnecessary pollution. Try to
encourage them to share their journeys with
other people, for example when they go to work
or go shopping. Also encourage them to drive
more slowly as this produces less pollution and
less carbon dioxide.
Energy is produced to generate electricity and to keep us
warm. Most energy is produced by the
burning of fossil fuels, like coal, oil and
gas, which release carbon dioxide, a
greenhouse gas. Fuel burnt in our cars
also releases carbon dioxide. As an
individual, you do not have a lot of
control on how your energy is produced. However, you can
control the way in which you use that energy. Using less energy means less of it
needs to be produced. So less carbon dioxide is released
into the atmosphere.
We can also help prevent pollution from our own homes
which may contribute to acid rain and poor air quality, and
increases emissions of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Turning off lights when they are not needed and not
wasting electricity will reduce the demand for energy. Less
electricity will need to be produced and so less coal, oil and
gas will have to be burnt in power stations, which means less air pollution and less
carbon dioxide!
Pollution formed indoors can be reduced by ensuring
that all gas appliances are working correctly. Good
ventilation will improve indoor air quality by dispersing
biological pollutants like dust mite, and other pollutants
such as cigarette smoke.
Most of the rubbish we throw away can be recycled, such as
glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, plastic
bottles and waste paper.
Recycling used materials uses less
energy than making new ones.
Composting fruit and vegetable waste reduces the amount of
rubbish buried at rubbish dumps.
