What is global warming and its impact on natural and human system?



Global Warming is the idea that light loses energy passing through the atmosphere on its way from the sun, and becomes trapped within our ecosphere. Normally enough sunlight is reflected back into space, so conditions on earth stay stable. Adding certain gases to the atmosphere increases the amount of the sun's energy that is trapped, warming things up. This has been tracked for about a century, as factories, cars, etc produce a lot of those gases. Current projections by the scientific community are that this will reach a catastrophic level soon, much sooner than predicted. That is believed to be because production of those gases has increased more than predicted, and less has been done about the problem than predicted.

Carbon dioxide is the main problem. Doubling the level of CO2 would increase the earth's temperature by about 7 degrees. That has only happened once in the earth's history, and it killed off everything except the algae. Scientists are monitoring the level of CO2 as it rises.

Seven Steps to Rescuing Romance


O, The Oprah Magazine Try one every day of the week, focus on one at a time, do whatever you like with them—but do take them all to heart.

1. Find Out What You Want
Are you meeting your partner's needs? Are your needs being met? What are they? After you know partner's needs, if you find yourselves still frustrated, realize that it's not that you can't meet your partner's needs, it's that you won't. Think about why you haven't yet.

2. Respect Your Partner
It shouldn't matter why your partner needs what he or she needs. Consider Dr. Phil's example: If one of your kids got up in the middle of the night and said, "I'm thirsty," would you just turn around and say, "Well, I'm not, so go back to bed"? The key is to appreciate your partner's individuality. Don't expect your partner to react exactly as you would; your partner isn't you!

3. What Message Do You Send?
Think about the message you are sending your partner when you don't acknowledge his or her wants. How does this make your partner feel? How would it make you feel?

4. Compromise.
Know that you can fulfill your partner's wants. But by prioritizing your needs alone, you're making the conscious decision to not to fulfil his or her wants. Try talking about both of your needs and wants. Find the middle ground.

5. Don't Forget Romance
Keep in mind that romance is an important element of marriage. Your partner might consider romance as the true measure of his or her value to your relationship. Be thoughtful and try doing something sweet for no apparent reason.

6. Remember the 4-minute rule
You can predict the rest of the night based on the first 4 minutes, so make those minutes count! Bring flowers. Greet each other with a compliment. Ask questions about your partner's day. Smile; it'll make a difference.

7. Open Up
Be communicative and expressive with your partner. Remember, sharing emotions is not weakness; it makes you whole.

Awaken Your Erogenous Zones

O, The Oprah Magazine When most people think of erogenous zones, they think of their genitals. But erogenous zones are all over your body, says Hilda Hutcherson, MD. They can include the back, neck, ears, eyelids, and hands... wherever touching feels good! If you haven't found your erogenous zones, the time to start looking is now. Start with these simple suggestions.

Make Time For Yourself
Begin by setting aside time every week for yourself. According to Dr. Hutcherson, this is your sacred time, and nobody should interfere. No partners, no children, nobody but yourself. Go into your home, pull down the shades, and take the phone off the hook. Learn your body all over again. Generate your own sexual energy, and start to see yourself as a sexual being.

How to Wake Up Your Zones
Wake up your erogenous zones by taking a bubble bath, massaging yourself with oils, writing erotic stories, or walking around the house naked. Take a cue from the old motto: if it feels good, do it! Don't be ashamed or embarrassed—you're discovering what feels good for you. When you feel comfortable and good about your sexuality, it's time to bring your partner into the mix.
