Inilah Yang Akan Terjadi di Tahun 2012

Laporan New Scientist edisi terbaru menyebut, ancaman itu bukan skenario ilmiah satu banding sejuta. Tapi ancaman itu sangat nyata, dan akan terjadi pada September 2012. Badai matahari dahsyat pernah terjadi pada pagi 1 September 1859.


Astronomer Inggris terkenal Richard Carrington yang sedang mengamati matahari, mendapati permukaan matahari terjadi suatu hal yang tidak biasa. Cahaya terang keluar dari permukaan matahari. Cahaya itu membentuk gumpalan besar saat menuju bumi. Hanya dalam tempo 48 jam kemudian mulai menerpa dan efeknya luar biasa.


Sebelum mencapai bumi, aurora terang muncul di langit malam. Saking terangnya, orang bisa membaca koran saat tengah malam. Di California sekelompok penambang bangun dari tidur, mengira hari sudah jajar. Padahal waktu itu baru jam 2 pagi.


Operator telegrap terkena sengatan lisrik, saat badai matahari menghantam.


Bumi layaknya dibasuh medan listrik sangat besar. Tapi pemulihan di zaman itu berlangsung sangat cepat.


Pada 1859, peralatan yang ada hanyalah mesin uap dan tenaga otot. Tapi di zaman modern sekarang, kehidupan semuanya ditopang oleh listrik. Padahal badai matahari bisa menyebabkan lonjatan tenaga lisrik hingga miliaran watt.


Yang lebih berbahaya transformer yang mengubah listrik ribuah volt menjadi 220v untuk rumah tangga akan meledak. Ribuan transformer akan rusak di semua negara.


Tanpa listrik, dunia bisa mengalami masa kegelapan. Pasokan air bersih yang menggunakan listrik akan berhenti. Komunikasi global akan rusak. Badai matahari juga bisa merusak jaringan GPS satelit yang semua penerbangan tergantung padanya.


Saat badai itu menuju bumi, akan diawali aurora paling spektakular. Namun dalam beberapa waktu kemudian, cahaya akan mencapai daratan dan listrik mulai padam. Selanjutnya semua jaringan telepon dan internet akan padam. Begitu juga TV terestrial dan satelit hilang sinyal.


Jadi apakah badai matahari benar bisa terjadi, dan mengapa kita perlu khawatir pada 2012? Pertama badai matahari pernah terjadi pada 1859. Pada 20 tahun lalu badai sangat kecil pernah merontokkan pembangkit litrik di timur laut Kanada dan membuat jutaan orang tanpa listrik. Selain itu ilmuwan menghitung naik turun aktifitas matahari terjadi selama tenggang 11 tahun.


Saat ini matahari memang sedang tenang. Namun solar maximum atau puncak aktifitas, diprediksikan akan terjadi pada 2012. Badai super besar kemungkinan bisa menyerang pada musim gugur, karena orientasi medan magnet bumi terhadap matahari membuat sangat berbahaya.


Lalu apa yang bisa dilakukan untuk mencegahnya? Pembangkit listrik cadangan harus disiapkan. Selain itu satelit baru juga harus diluncurkan untuk mengamati apa yang terjadi di matahari.


Tapi mungkin saja, badai matahari tidak terjadi pada 2012. Tapi pada 2023 akan kembali rawan karena daur solar maximum kembali terulang. Cepat atau lambat, badai itu pasti akan terjadi. Mungkin kita harus menyiapkan lilin, jika listrik pada akhirnya untuk sementara tidak tersedia.

8 gadget tercanggih di dunia

1. Teleport
















Teleport telah berhasil dilakukan pada objek berukuran kecil berdasarkan penelitian dari universitas Vienna di Australia. Teleportasi bekerja dengan cara menghancurkan quantum pada objek kemudian dibangun kembali di tempat lain. Oleh karena itu, teknologi Teleport saat ini belum bisa memindahkan benda hidup maupun mati secara keseluruhan fisik. Alat ini “menciptakan” replika benda sebelumnya pada posisi di tempat lain dan benda sebelumnya akan “menghilang” selama replikanya diciptakan.

2. 360º 3-D Holographic Displays
 











 ZCam™ merupakan kamera video yang bisa merekam informasi hingga ke dalam bagian objek (yang biasa digunakan untuk membuat model 3D) video dan kemudian diproduksi oleh 3DV Systems. Teknologi ini berbasiskan prinsip “Time of Flight”. Pada teknik ini, data ukuran 3D didapatkan dengan cara mengirim gelombang infra merah ke dalam scene video dan mendeteksi cahaya yang direfleksikan oleh permukaan objek pada scene video. Dengan menggunakan variabel waktu yang ditempuh oleh gelombang infra merah untuk mencapai objek target dan saat kembali, jarak bisa dihitung dan kemudian digunakan untuk membuat informasi 3D dari semua objek pada scene.

3. Lightsaber (Pedang Laser)


Yang kita ketahui, lightsaber hanyalah imajinasi dalam film Star Wars. Lightsaber terdiri dari logam dan mata pedang berupa plasma sepanjang 1 meter. Lightsaber ini bisa memotong objek tanpa perlawanan sedikitpun. Bisa meninggalkan luka bakar pada kulit manusia. Tapi pedang ini bisa ditangkis dengan pedang lightsaber pula atau bisa juga ditangkis dengan perisai.

4. JetPack



Jetpack, juga termasuk alat yang banyak kita temukan di film sains fiksi dan game Grand Theft Auto, yang mana alat ini menggunakan jet yang melepaskan gas dan menerbangkan penggunanya. TAM adalah perusahaan pertama dan satu-satunya di dunia yang memproduksi paket lengkap kostum yang didesain oleh Rocket Belt menggunakan mutakhir dan juga material aerospace dengan mesin penyulingan khusus untuk memproduksi bahan bakar Hidrogen Peroksida jet anda.

5. Military Exoskeleton Prototype


Military exoskeleton merupakan sejenis rangka luar bertenaga hidrolik yang dipasang pada militer dan bisa mengangkat hingga 100 kg benda untuk jangka waktu yang lama dan bisa sambil mengelilingi suatu area pula. Desainnya yang fleksibel memungkinkan pengguna untuk berjongkok, bergerak pelan dan “mengangkat” ke atas. Tidak ada joystick maupun mekanisme kontrol lainnya. Kontrolnya menggunakan indra manusia.

6. Flying Car


“Mobil terbang” ini disebut “The Highway in the Sky”. Jika tiap waktu agan terjebak macet, maka dengan menggunakan flying car ini agan bisa berputar dan menukik di angkasa agar bisa sampai di tujuan dengan cepat.

7. Piring Terbang


Piring terbang yang diberi nama Moller M200X adalah kendaraan terbang yang terinspirasi dari pesawat UFO. M200X diproduksi oleh perusahaan Rusia dengan dana pemerintah, untuk kepentingan eksplorasi bumi maupun ruang angkasa.

8. Virtual Goggles

Teknologi telah membawa dunia virtual ke dalam komputer kita sejak lama. Tapi, dunia virtual tersbut sekarang bisa disaksikan di rumah kita. Sebuah ekseprimen yang telah dilakukan selama beberapa dekade, sekarang telah menjadi kenyataan.

Pada gambar di atas, wanita tsb sedang menggunakan device berteknologi virtual bernama iWear VR920 dari perusahaan Icuiti. Alat tsb bisa berfungsi sebagai output video juga sebagai gaming console. (Dari berbagai sumber)

Albert Einstein Biography


Albert Einstein was born at Ulm, in Württemberg, Germany, on March 14, 1879. Six weeks later the family moved to Munich, where he later on began his schooling at the Luitpold Gymnasium. Later, they moved to Italy and Albert continued his education at Aarau, Switzerland and in 1896 he entered the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich to be trained as a teacher in physics and mathematics. In 1901, the year he gained his diploma, he acquired Swiss citizenship and, as he was unable to find a teaching post, he accepted a position as technical assistant in the Swiss Patent Office. In 1905 he obtained his doctor's degree.

During his stay at the Patent Office, and in his spare time, he produced much of his remarkable work and in 1908 he was appointed Privatdozent in Berne. In 1909 he became Professor Extraordinary at Zurich, in 1911 Professor of Theoretical Physics at Prague, returning to Zurich in the following year to fill a similar post. In 1914 he was appointed Director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Physical Institute and Professor in the University of Berlin. He became a German citizen in 1914 and remained in Berlin until 1933 when he renounced his citizenship for political reasons and emigrated to America to take the position of Professor of Theoretical Physics at Princeton*. He became a United States citizen in 1940 and retired from his post in 1945.

After World War II, Einstein was a leading figure in the World Government Movement, he was offered the Presidency of the State of Israel, which he declined, and he collaborated with Dr. Chaim Weizmann in establishing the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Einstein always appeared to have a clear view of the problems of physics and the determination to solve them. He had a strategy of his own and was able to visualize the main stages on the way to his goal. He regarded his major achievements as mere stepping-stones for the next advance.

At the start of his scientific work, Einstein realized the inadequacies of Newtonian mechanics and his special theory of relativity stemmed from an attempt to reconcile the laws of mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field. He dealt with classical problems of statistical mechanics and problems in which they were merged with quantum theory: this led to an explanation of the Brownian movement of molecules. He investigated the thermal properties of light with a low radiation density and his observations laid the foundation of the photon theory of light.

In his early days in Berlin, Einstein postulated that the correct interpretation of the special theory of relativity must also furnish a theory of gravitation and in 1916 he published his paper on the general theory of relativity. During this time he also contributed to the problems of the theory of radiation and statistical mechanics.

In the 1920's, Einstein embarked on the construction of unified field theories, although he continued to work on the probabilistic interpretation of quantum theory, and he persevered with this work in America. He contributed to statistical mechanics by his development of the quantum theory of a monatomic gas and he has also accomplished valuable work in connection with atomic transition probabilities and relativistic cosmology.

After his retirement he continued to work towards the unification of the basic concepts of physics, taking the opposite approach, geometrisation, to the majority of physicists.

Einstein's researches are, of course, well chronicled and his more important works include Special Theory of Relativity (1905), Relativity (English translations, 1920 and 1950), General Theory of Relativity (1916), Investigations on Theory of Brownian Movement (1926), and The Evolution of Physics (1938). Among his non-scientific works, About Zionism (1930), Why War? (1933), My Philosophy (1934), and Out of My Later Years (1950) are perhaps the most important.

Albert Einstein received honorary doctorate degrees in science, medicine and philosophy from many European and American universities. During the 1920's he lectured in Europe, America and the Far East and he was awarded Fellowships or Memberships of all the leading scientific academies throughout the world. He gained numerous awards in recognition of his work, including the Copley Medal of the Royal Society of London in 1925, and the Franklin Medal of the Franklin Institute in 1935.

Einstein's gifts inevitably resulted in his dwelling much in intellectual solitude and, for relaxation, music played an important part in his life. He married Mileva Maric in 1903 and they had a daughter and two sons; their marriage was dissolved in 1919 and in the same year he married his cousin, Elsa Löwenthal, who died in 1936. He died on April 18, 1955 at Princeton, New Jersey.

Disuruh Menyeberang Karena Penting

Suatu ketika, ada sebuah sungaiyang lebar. Di satu sisi sungai tinggal kelinci, dan di sisi lainnya hidup seekor beruang.

Suatu hari, beruang itu duduk di atas tunggul, menikmati makan buah. Lalu ia mendengar ada yang berteriak padanya, yaitu kelinci.

"Hei! Hei, Teddy, menyeberanglah ke sini. Aku punya sesuatu yang mau kutunjukkan padamu!"

"Jangan sekarang! Aku sedang makan."

"Oh, ayolah!" kata kelinci. "Ini benar-benar penting."

"Tidak mungkin."

"Ayolah. Ini mendesak."

Jadi beruang memutuskan untuk pergi menyeberangi sungai yang lebar itu. Dia memerlukan waktu berjam-jam untuk bisa menyeberangi sungai itu. Dia hampir tenggelam. Dan ketika ia akhirnya sampai di seberang dia mengerang dan terengah-engah, dan berbicara kepada kelinci,

"Nah, kelinci," dia terengah. "Apa yang ingin kamu beritahukan kepadaku?"

"Hei, Teddy," kelinci itu berkata, "lihatlah betapa banyaknya buah yang di seberang sungai."

Kisah Tentang Seorang Pria yang Sempurna

Seorang laki-laki berjalan keluar ke jalan dan menyetop taksi. Dia masuk ke taksi, dan sopir taksi mengatakan, "Anda memiliki waktu yang sempurna. Persis seperti Frank."

Penumpang: "Frank Siapa?"

Sopir taksi: "Frank Feldman. Dia seorang pria yang melakukan segalanya dengan benar sepanjang waktu. Seperti saya ada ketika Anda membutuhkan taksi, hal-hal terjadi seperti itu untuk Frank Feldman setiap saat..."

Penumpang: "Selalu ada langit di atas semua langit."

Sopir taksi: "Tidak... Frank Feldman adalah seorang atlet hebat. Dia bisa saja memenangkan Grand-Slam di tenis. Dia bisa main golf dengan profesional. Dia menyanyi seperti bariton opera dan menari seperti bintang Broadway dan Anda harus telah mendengar dia bermain piano. Dia seorang pria luar biasa."

Penumpang: "Sepertinya ia sangat istimewa."

Sopir taksi: "Ada lagi... Dia punya memori seperti komputer. Dia ingat ulang tahun semua orang. Dia tahu segalanya. Dia bisa memperbaiki apa-apa. Tidak seperti aku, ketika memperbaiki sekering rumah, satu RT mati semua. Tapi Frank Feldman, ia bisa melakukan segalanya dengan benar."

Penumpang: "Wow, seorang pria yang hebat."

Sopir taksi: "Dia selalu tahu cara tercepat untuk menyetir dan menghindari kemacetan lalu lintas. Tidak seperti saya, saya terlalu sering terjebak di dalam kemacetan. Tapi Frank, dia tidak pernah melakukan kesalahan, dan dia benar-benar tahu bagaimana memperlakukan wanita. Dia tidak akan pernah berdebat meskipun dia yang tidak salah, dan pakaiannya selalu rapi, sepatunya disemir mengkilat - Dia adalah manusia sempurna. Dia tidak pernah melakukan kesalahan. Tidak ada yang bisa menandingi Frank Feldman."

Penumpang: "Seorang rekan yang menakjubkan. Bagaimana Anda bertemu dengannya?"

Sopir taksi: "Wah, saya tidak pernah benar-benar bertemu Frank, dia sudah meninggal. Aku menikahi jandanya..."

Menandai Tempat Yang banyak Ikan

Dua pemancing memutuskan untuk menyewa perahu di danau. Setelah memancing berjam-jam di berbagai tempat dan tidak ada satupun ikan yang tertangkap, mereka memutuskan untuk mencoba sekali lagi sebelum berhenti. Tiba-tiba, ikan mulai menggigit umpan dan mereka ternyata hanya punya waktu 20 menit.

"Hei, kita harus menandai tempat ini sehingga waktu berikutnya kita akan tahu di mana ikan berkumpul," kata salah seorang pemancing tersebut.

"Ide bagus," jawab orang kedua, mengambil sekaleng cat semprot dan membuat tanda X besar di lantai perahu.

"Kenapa kau melakukan itu?" temannya bertanya.

"Sekarang siapa yang menyewa perahu ini akan tahu di mana ikan-ikan itu berada."

Kunjungan Studi Banding Pejabat Swiss

Beberapa waktu yang lalu beberapa anggota delegasi dari Swiss mengunjungi Indonesia untuk studi banding dan belajar untuk membuat sebuah Kementerian Kelautan di Swiss.

Ketika mereka mengutarakan hal itu, beberapa pejabat menertawakan hal itu, karena Swiss tidak memiliki laut.

Delegasi Swiss pun menjawab, "Kami kan belajar dari Indonesia. Buktinya kalian memiliki Departemen Hukum dan Departemen Keuangan..."

FIXIE yang lagi ngetrend




Akhir-akhir ini di Indonesia sedang booming-booming nya sepeda yang minimalis dan unik, yaitu sepeda Fixie. Walaupun sepeda ini tergolong minimalis, tapi tidak meninggalkan kesan elegan bagi penggunanya. Sebagian besar pengguna sepeda ini adalah kaum remaja.

Sebenarnya sepeda Fixie ini berasal dari negeri Paman Sam alias Amerika Serikat, tepatnya di kota New York. Sepeda ini digunakan oleh pengantar pos/koran/majalah. Karena kondisi kota New York yang sangat padat, mereka sering mengalami keterlambatan saat mengantar paket mereka. Akhirnya mereka memilih sepeda sebagai alternatif dan hasilnya sangat memuaskan dengan tingkat keterlambatan yang berkurang dan pengiriman yang jauh lebih cepat.

Bagi sebagian orang, sepeda Fixie ini terkesan elegan karena memang harga sebuah sepeda ini lumayan mahal. Selain itu tiap bagian sepeda ini juga tidak murah, semisal frame, velg, roda, yang biasanya barang-barang tersebut diimpor dari luar negeri.

Sepeda Fixie ini menggunakan sistem fixed gear, yang membuat ayunan pedal terus berputar seiring perputaran roda belakang, sehingga untuk melakukan pengereman , si pengendara harus mengurangi putaran pedal dengan gaya melawan arah perputaran pedal, atau biasa disebut dengan sistem ” Door Trape”.
Sekarang ini banyak sekali komunitas sepeda Fixie di berbagai daerah di Indonesia. Mereka mengaku memilih sepeda Fixie ini karena selain mengikuti tren, tapi juga karena memang sepeda ini cocok banget buat kaum remaja yang doyan nongkrong dan ingin selalu eksis.

Penggunaan Sepeda Fixie sekarang ini tak hanya sekedar untuk olahraga pagi saat hari libur, tapi juga sudah biasa dipakai untuk berangkat ke sekolah, kampus, maupun ke kantor. Selain menyehatkan badan , penggunaan sepeda juga bisa memperlambat Global Warming yang akhir-akhir ini menjadi pembahasan pokok negara-negara didunia.

Top 5 Ways To Generate Low Cost Website Traffic

There is one hard and fast rule in generating income for your website: A steady flow of website traffic. If no one goes to your site, it hardly bares a chance of generating an income. Many sites have tried and failed in doing so, and these results to the sites demise. It takes money to maintain an income generating site; it also takes money to make money.

BUT, it doesn’t take a whole caboodle of cash to generate website traffic for your site.

Ever wonder how does big hit sites drive traffic top their site? Most of them are spending tons of money to drive the traffic to their sites, investing in many advertising campaigns and different forms of marketing schemes and gimmickries. This is all worthwhile because, well, they are what they are now, high earning, big hitting websites.

You don’t have to do this if you don’t really have their resources. There are many ways to generate low cost website traffic without having to spend what you don’t have or can’t afford. Many people have banked on high cost methods and have ended up losing their shirt over it.

Here I present to you the Top five ways to generate low cost website traffic that could help your site a whole lot. Even if you only get a small percentage of successful visitors in to client ratio it still works especially if you get a high number of website traffic.

Exchange Links

This is a sure and proven method. Rarely would you see a site where there is no link to another site. Many webmasters are willing to exchange links with one another so that they could produce more public awareness about their sites. You’ll soon see and feel the sudden upsurge of the traffic coming in to your site from other sites.

A major prerequisite in exchanging links with other sites is having the same niche or content as the other site. They should share a common subject so that there is continuity in the providing of service and information to what interests your target traffic.

Exchanging links also boosts your chances of getting a high ranking in search engine results. It is common knowledge that search engines ranks high sites that have inbound and outbound theme-related links. With a good ranking position in the search engines, you will generate more traffic in your website without the high costs.

Traffic Exchange
This is like exchanging links but on a different higher level. This may cost a bit more than exchanging or trading links but could be made cheaper because you get to earn credits. You can use those credits when viewing others traffic, while you earn credits when someone views yours.

Traffic exchange services are the viewing of another’s site or page. This is done vice versa where a site can use your sites contents and so can you to his or her site. You both benefit from each others efforts to generate traffic. The other sites visitors can go to your pages and know more about your site as well as theirs. Once again the public awareness of your sites existence is boosted.

Write and Submit Articles
There are many e-zines and online encyclopedias in the internet which provides free space for articles to be submitted. If you want to save costs, you can do the articles yourself. There are many freelance writers who are willing to write for you for a small fee, but to save money, it is wise to do those articles yourself.

Write articles that are themed along with the niche of your site. Write something that you have expertise on so that when they read it, they can feel your knowledge about the subject and will be eager to go to your site. Write articles that produce tips and guidelines to the subject or niche your site has.

Include a resource box at the end of your article that can link them to your site. Write a little about yourself and your site. If you provide a light, information-laden and interesting article, they will go to your site for more.

Make a Newsletter.

This may sound like hard work because of all the articles you may need to use to build a newsletter but on the contrary, this is not so. There are many writers and sites that are willing to provide free articles as long as they can get their name in on your newsletter. This will also provide free advertising for them as well.

As your newsletter gets pass around, you can widen your public awareness and build an opt-in list that can regularly visit your site.

Join Online Communities and Forums
This only requires your time and nothing else. You can share your knowledge and expertise with many online communities as well as your website. You can get free advertising when you go to forums that have the same subject or niche with your site.

Share your two cents and let them see how knowledgeable you are with the subject. As you build your reputation, you also build the reputation of your site, making it a reputable and honest business that could be frequented and trusted by many people.

IT

Should I Create a Website? Do I Need One?

People always want to follow the latest thing, be it in fashion, sports, that kind of thing. Websites have become a necessity to almost everyone. Companies, businesses, individuals, even young adults have created personal websites with their respective purposes, be it for profit, or for entertainment.

What one must consider, however, before creating a website, are the factors in which must be put to thought before doing so, such as the cost, maintenance, use, web host and so forth.

Firstly, associating with the cost, we must always try to find an affordable host, not spending too much, nor too little. A cheap host does not exactly symbolize a credible reliability rating, but we must always look for value for money deals. Also, regarding the efficiency and server/web host reliability, there are many cases of web hosts not providing the service they had assured other people, some had even shut down and were nowhere to be seen. Keep this note in mind, as if you would like a long-lasting website, this would be the first thing to look for.

Next, would hiring a professional be affordable? Is it the best option? For simple websites, we could always pick up the coding, or even use programs, as it is relatively simple. However, when it comes to more complex coding, and when you want it to do a tad more than just providing information, hiring help in doing so would be the best way. Not only in terms of design, but security is also a key factor in assuring a quality website. If the website also acts as a portal for businesses, security would definitely be the issue here.

So, having considered the things to do before building a website, do we actually NEED one? If creating one would boost sales or promote positive implications to oneself, then by all means, go ahead and do what’s best. Yet again, planning is the key to success, in everything we do.

SELF IMPROVEMENT

Creating Effective and Efficient Relationships

Relationships of all kinds are often perceived as very delicate things, that require extra effort to maintain. However, a relationship can also be something that can provide security and can also be long lasting despite many trials.

Building an effective and lasting relationships is a necessity for several reasons. For example in a group or organization, the well being of the people depends on how efficient and effective that group or organization works.

The group or organization is also dependent on how the members work well with the management.

An ineffective group or organization can really be very frustrating.  An effective group or organization can also ask so much on their members, that sometimes the members would be having no life outside the walls of the area where they work or sacrifice the other aspects of their life just to meet deadlines. For an organization or group with this kind of scenario, relationships can be stressed or suffer from breakdown.

People or other entities who depend on these groups or organization also suffer.

Society is defined as a web of relationships, which requires all parties to work and contribute their share in order to achieve  a common goal. Having a relationship that is good, where cooperation and respect are manifested, can make society work better. In this way each member works for the good of the whole and towards achieving a common goal. This can only be attained with effective and efficient relationships.

Understanding the other parties' feeling and position creates an effective and efficient relationship. The easiest method to understand what is important to another party is to ask them what they want and listen to what they have to say. When the other party realizes this, they would feel the importance given to them

Effective and efficient relationships require parties to openly express their feelings and positions on all matters pertinent on the relationship. Assuming that the other party understands our needs and give us when we need it without asking for it is not a good practice.

Respect is the key to relationship. In order to create a more effective relationship, parties should treat each other with respect.  We can show respect just by listening to the other party and by trying sincerely to understand how they function. You can also show respect to other parties by confirming that they are doing everything they can.

The opposite of respect is quick forming of judgements based on unfounded facts and prejudice.

Respect is the very foundation for a great relationship. This also means respecting yourself and respecting others.

Another key area in forming an effective relationship is to tackle differences of the other party directly. Differences between parties or people are quite interesting. For example in a conversation where each party listens to the other party, you may observe that each is having two different perspectives.

Work towards a win-win solution for both parties.

This can be done when at least one party acknowledges that the relationship is important. That party would then exert more time, effort and energy to understand the other party's needs and deal with it to get it out of the way. Should they fail, it is comforting for that party to know that they tried.

Effectively listening and no pre-judging. This is important if parties are to understand each other.

Informal discussions are conducive for parties. They bring out issues and concerns comfortably. They also feel more relaxed making them think more clearly.

Developing an atmosphere where the other party can express their feelings when they need to.

When parties fail to express whatever is on their mind or their feelings, it can get in the way of building an effective relationship.

Parties should be aware that certain things exist naturally but should be controlled in any dealings in any relationship.  Human nature is one. Some of these things found in a relationship also include a history of stereotyping or mistrust, blaming the other person or party for a strained relationship, excluding the other party's feelings when focusing on a task, no clear and defined objectives, roles and expectations of each party in a relationship is also unclear.

Relationships are important to anyone, addressing issues and problems right away is a must to further improve the relationship. As they say 'No man is an Island'.

child care to baby crying





CRYING BABY - REASONS.
Introduction:

Crying is a normal event in the lives of all babies.When a baby comes out of the woomb the first thing to do is crying.By the first cry he will take some air in to the lungs for the first time in their life.After delivery if the baby doesnot cry then it should be initiated by slightly pinching or gently strocking the feet.From this it is clear that the healthy baby should cry and it is a normal physiological event ,still some times it can upset the mother or family members.

We all know that a baby can't tell his needs or troubles in words. The only way for him  to communicate with others is by crying.Babies show some other signs like feet kicking,hand waving and head turning ect.But the best way to take the attention of others is by crying.

Excessive crying may not have a firm definition because the crying habit changes from baby to baby and some babies can be calmed easily but some are difficult to sooth.If crying is distressing for the mother and home nurse it can be called excessive.Many a times baby become quiet by giving breast milk or by carrying with a gentle rocking.Sudden onset of excessive crying means baby is distressed and needs attention.The causes of crying extends from simple reasons to life threatening conditions.Hence crying of a baby should not be ignored.


Most of the time it is difficult to find the cause of the cry .Common causes are discussed here for awareness.

Common reasons for crying:
                
1,Hunger:--

A hungry baby will cry till he gets  the milk. Here the old saying comes true'crying baby gets the milk'.

2,Wetting:--

Urination and defecation causes some discomfort and results in crying till his parts are cleaned and made dry .

3,Company:--

Majority of the kids need somebody near.  If they feel lonely they cry.When their favourite doll slips away from the grip they cry for help.
           
4,Tired:--

When the baby is tired after a journey and unable to sleep just cry simply.They feel tired in uncomfortable sourroundings and due to unhealthy climate.

5,Heat & cold:--

If they feel too hot or too cold they become restless and cry. Child is comfortable in a room with good ventilation.

6,Tight cloathing:--
Tight cloaths especially during warm climate is intolerable for kids.Tight elastic of the the dress can also produce soreness in the hip region.                                                                                   

7,Dark room:--

When the baby wakes up from sleep he needs some dim light.If there is darkness he will disturb the sleep of parents by crying.Ofcourse he will be irritated by strong light resulting in cry.

8,Mosquito:--

Yes,these creatures disturb the sleep by their blood sucking and make the baby to cry.

9,Nasal blocking:--
Child may not be able to sleep when there is a cold and go on crying till the passage is open.

10, Phlegm in throat:--

This also causes difficult breathing resulting in cry.Often a typical sound can be heard with each breath.

11,General aching:--

Generalised body ache with restlessness is seen in flu and prodromal stages of some infectious diseases can result in continuous cry.

12,Habitual cry:---Some babies cry without any real cause ending the parents in agony.Many a times doctor is called for help.

13,Nappy rash:-- If a tight and wet nappy is kept for a long time results in this conditon.
  Rash can also be due to some allergic reaction to the elastic material of the nappy.  When the rash appears it causes soreness and baby become sleepless and cry.  All other skin lesions like eczema,ecthyma ,candidiasis ect also causes same problems.                                                

14,Earache:--
