The third planet of our solar system and the planet where life exists, the Earth, and the place we all live in, is slowly but surely on the verge of getting destroyed. The main cause for the destruction of our planet Earth is global warming. In simple terms, global warming is the slow but steady increase in the temperature of the Earth and its atmosphere. The result of this increase in temperature of the Earth and the atmospheric temperature as a result of global warming has caused many adverse effects to the planet like melting of ice in the Polar Regions, increase in the epidemic disease occurrences, varying climatic patterns etc.

Our planet Earth is experiencing more varying climatic patterns since 1900, than the regular seasonal changes that had occurred earlier. The main factor for this conversion can be largely attributed to the activities of the man and the inception of the industrial revolution. Every human being living in this planet, knowingly or unknowingly is destroying his or her own habitat. The effluent gases that are let out of the various factories and industries all over the world has lead to an increase in the so called greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxide etc, in the atmosphere have all contributed to the greenhouse blanket on the Earth’s surface, preventing the reflection of the rays from the sun and hence causing an increase in the temperature of the Earth which inturn leads to varying climatic conditions.

No words in this universe are enough to describe him, superstar, living legend, and the face of Indian cinema. Amitabh Bachchan today is an icon to reckon with, both nationally and internationally. He has become a household name today on the lips of young and old alike. The very mention of his name spells magic. One must surely appreciate the hardwork and dedication that was shown by him to capture the film world. Success always follows hard work. Has vastu played any role in his success ?. Yes, looking at the juhu residence of Amitabh Bachchan any vastu expert can will answer positive. Vaastu Shastra cannot be directly linked with prosperity. It only suggests ways in which one can live in tune with the laws of nature, so that you can be healthy and peaceful and work efficiently.

1. Entrance: Entrance of Amitabh Bachchan bunglow is located at the North-East Corner of the bunglow. According to vastu North-East is a prime location for the prosperity and success. The treatises like “Vishwakarma Prakash” attribute special importance to the North-East direction (Ishanya Angle) in the selection and architectural map of the plot or construction of the house. This direction is regarded as highly surcharged with divine energies. Person becomes more healthy, wealthy & famous in such houses.

2. Roads: A house or plot with road to the north or to the east is a excellent position as per vastu. His house is very lucky to get the auspicious cosmic rays from North as well as east. This is another important vastu favouring tenets to the Amitabh Bachchan house. According to Vaastu, the most favourable and beneficial main entrances in the house or business premises are those in the North East, East or North direction. The suns rays, being a rich source of vitamin D are vital for the sustenance of life on earth; and the rays early in the morning from the east emitting more light and less heat are the best. Doors and windows in the east would allow the suns ultra violet rays to penetrate into the house, bestowing their benefits to the inmates of the house. It is auspicious to have more open space in the east or north of the house or plot. The plot or house having road on the east-north directions is better place to gain prosperity.

3. Fire: Direction that lies midway between the east and the south is known as Agneya (south-east). Agni (fire) is the lord of this direction. He is the preserver and defender of every being. The southeast is the home of the fire element. Because of the interconnectedness of two elements -water & fire, fire features should only be placed in the southeast corner of any building or property. This includes kitchens, fireplaces or transformer. The electric transformer in his house is located in the south east corner which is another important factor in making his house vastu friendly.
A warm Agneya direction makes a man healthy. Agni also provides person with comfort, peace, prosperity and progeny.

So, our children want to fly away from the nest and further their academic life in college. But with escalating costs, can we afford it? Will they have to take part time jobs to stay afloat or can we supplement their financial needs with college loans?

These are just some of the questions that concerned parents and aspiring students are asking themselves nowadays. It’s hardly surprising when you look at the facts - a 51% increase in fee and tuition costs for public four year colleges and a 36% rise for private four year colleges in the last decade alone. This, coupled with the disproportionate income increases for families likely to have college age children, means that more and more often parents or students themselves are turning to direct loans or private college loans for help.

Why do parents and students need extra help?

Every parent and family is made aware what their Expected Financial Contribution (EFC) will be to their child’s further education when they apply for a place. This is calculated minus any government grants and federal supported college loans the student will be granted. Every family has numerous financial commitments and additional support for your child throughout college could be all too much to bear if you don’t have enough savings or disposable income. But all is not lost! There are other sources of financial support available.

How can the shortfall be covered?

Additional financial support comes in all shapes and sizes. They normally take the forms of unsubsidized federal student loans, state sponsored loans and private sector college loans. It is the latter that has experienced the most significant growth over ten years (a 745% increase) and accounts for a whopping $10.5 billion of aid used to finance college education.

The private college loans available can be split into student loans or loans for the parent:

Student Loans

• Private college loans from banks and other funding sources.

Parent Loans

• Private education loans from banks and other funders.

• Home equity loans to draw down equity from your property. These funds can be used to pay for college fees.

Is it all worth it?

Its all too easy for parents and students to balk at the idea of taking out college loans to enable them to further their education. The hard cash needed to see them through up to four years of study may seem impossible to raise but they just need to realize the benefits this will bring their child and America. College educated individuals earn more than secondary school leavers, they also participate in society more and their children will attain higher levels of education too.

The investment is worth it.

In this article we’re going to visit with a psychic who is still alive and predicting today. Her name is Elizabeth Baron.

Elizabeth Baron was born in Tennessee. She was an orphan as her father shot himself right in front of her when she was just 5 years old. During that same period she successfully won her fight with cancer, a tumor under her tongue, by laying her hands on local ministers in her neighborhood. At least that’s how legend has it. Supposedly, it was during this time that she got her gift of being able to look into the future.

Her mother died when she was a very young child and after than Baron was bounced around between 15 different foster homes as she was growing up. She has said many times that all the pain she suffered during those years was God’s gift to her in that it made her have compassion and empathy for others and prepared her to become the medium that she has become today. It is said that she can lay down on a couch, go into a deep sleep and give messages to up to 150 people at one time in her sleep.

After she graduated Crandall Business College with honors, her first job was working for the director of military personnel at the 14th air force. After that she worked for the Deputy Base Commander at Robbins Air Force Base as a secretary. While she was there she worked with prisoners of war from Germany. She also did schematics for the Jupiter space program that sent the first missile into orbit.

She moved to Chicago, Illinois at a very young age and took a job where she eventually became Assistant Advertising Manager for a private brand hosiery manufacturer. While she was there she met with executives from many magazines such as Vogue and Town and Country to try to get advertising for her company’s products. Eventually, with her husband who was a war hero, she opened up her own search firm and became President and CEO of two firms for 14 years where she oversaw 35 employees, most of which had masters degrees.

However, it wasn’t until a bitter divorce and being beaten half to death in a gang rape that her life really changed. While she was hospitalized after the attack, a spirit in white, who she believed to be God, came to her and said, “Come upon the mountain with me. It is time to do your mission. Remember, you gave your life to me when you were 13 years old.” It turns out that when she was 13 years old she gave her life to God, asking him if she could be one of his missionaries for life. At first she told the spirit that she wasn’t worthy but the spirit told her to let him decide if she was worthy or not.

The rest, as they say, is history. From that point she began teaching and counseling people all over the world. Today she works with people from TV executives to CEOs of Fortune 500 companies and is one of the most respected psychics in the world.

Private colleges and Universities are known for their high
standards and excellent academic programs. Their online programs
are no different. If you are ready to get your Bachelor’s
degree, or if you are ready to continue your post-secondary
education, consider an online private college or University
degree program.

Getting an education through an online private college or
university degree program can be an experience that is every bit
as enriching, interpersonal, and dynamic as attending college
the traditional face-to-face way. A big misconception is that
online learning is impersonal. This isn’t the case at all.
Programs offered online present the same opportunities for group
work, independent study, and interpersonal communication as do
traditional methods of learning. In fact, attending college
online helps to facilitate the independent learning process, as
well as developing time management skills. Attending an online
University takes just as much commitment as the old-fashioned
way of going to school, and the potential career and personal
benefits are just as great, if not greater. As the popularity of
attending college online increases, more campus-based private
colleges and Universities are joining the fast-growing group of
online-only private colleges and Universities in offering
several different levels of degrees over the Internet,
presenting students with broader educational options, as well as
flexibility and convenience.

There are many advantages for a student seeking a secondary
education to choose an online private college and University
degree program. Proximity is a key factor. A student does not
need to live locally to an accredited private college or
University. Attending all classes and submitting coursework
online eliminates the need for commuting or relocating. Earning
a degree from an online private college or University is a
convenient way to advance your education and training. A school
may offer more sections of popular courses, as well as night and
weekend courses, which allows a student more flexibility. This
is an ideal situation for those who work full time and/or care
for a family. Additionally, if you are a student who is
considering returning to school after several years, going to
school online is a perfect way to ease into the routine of class
work and projects again, and can lessen the stress of feeling
the need to fit in with younger students. Besides, who wouldn’t
find it appealing to attend college from the comforts of home?

If you are worried that you might not be able to afford a degree
from an online private college or University program, there are
options. Some employers might offer to pay a portion or even all
tuition and fees toward an employee receiving a degree. Also,
financial aid in the form of grants, loans, and even
scholarships might be available to you. Check with the
particular online program of interest to see what financial
options are available.

The type of degree you can earn through an online private
college or University degree program is vast. Aside from earning
Associate’s, Bachelor’s, and PhD degrees, professionals can
continue their educations and stay up to the minute in their
fields. Online learning is no longer just for web designers and
computer programmers. You may study Business, Social Sciences,
Criminal Justice, Humanities, Mathematics, Human Resources, Fine
Arts, and various Healthcare programs. Depending on the type of
degree you are seeking (graduate, for example), there may be
certain academic requirements that you have to fulfill to be
able to attend. Make sure you do your research when trying to
decide on an online private college or University.

With the prevalence of the Internet and technologies such as
teleconferencing available today, it is possible to come away
from the experience of attending and online private college or
University not only with a degree, but also being more in tune
with technology, which has the potential to broaden your career
opportunities even more. Seeking an education through an online
private college or University degree program is a legitimate,
convenient, and flexible way for you to advance you education,
as well as your career and personal potential.

This article will launch my new series in the Why Study Math?
category. This will be the start of a fascinating series which
show that mathematics is more than just a pain in the neck;
indeed these essays will permit a fascinating peek into the
world of this curiously strange discipline. We start in the land
of geometry, where shapes and figures and their many properties
drive students to the breaking point of insanity. Each article
will feature a specific aspect of a particular branch of
mathematics, such as algebra, trigonometry, and calculus; and
each will endeavor to shed some light on how these fields are
used in the real world. So come on board and enjoy the ride.

In the field of geometry, particularly as pertains to the high
school geometry course, a student is introduced for the first
time to the wonderful world of mathematical proofs. Often times
students will be scratching their heads wondering why in the
world they would be learning things as proving two triangles
congruent or about the different properties of shapes such as
trapezoids, parallelograms, or even those solid figures called
polyhedrons. What is not understood or even seen is that such
shapes play a fundamental role in many areas of science and
indeed nature.

For example, the helix structure–that winding pattern best
typified by a spiral staircase–is the structure most abundant
in nature. Watson and Crick, the scientists who won a Nobel
Prize for their groundbreaking work with DNA, the genetic
material responsible for heredity, showed that the very
structure of the DNA molecule exhibited a double helix
structure. Running a close second to the helix structure, we
have those solids which are formed by regular pentagons and
hexagons, those five and six sided figures. Because it is
impossible to enclose space (in other words form a “polyhedron
ball”) with just hexagons, it is necessary that pentagons be
added to the mix. In fact 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons form the
recipe for a nice type of polyhedron ball, which has come to be
called a truncated icosahedron.

The soccer ball is the perfect real-life example of the
truncated icosahedron. What is even more, many viruses–those
potentially deadly nuisances–exhibit this structure. Viruses
have outer shells called capsids that are often in the form of
an icosahedron. And for those of you who are not familiar with
chemistry, the eponymous buckey ball, is an organic molecule
made mostly of carbon, which exhibits the soccer ball structure.
In fact, chemists have now discovered a whole family of these
“soccer-ball-like” molecules, which are called fullerenes. New
and interesting discoveries are being made with these molecules
and fascinating applications for their use in diverse fields as
medicine and pharmacology are being researched.

Thus understanding geometry–shapes, figures, and their related
properties–has profound implications for all of us. Just
remember this the next time you go to fill a prescription for
that drug which is going to kill that buckey-ball shaped virus
that is wreaking havoc on your insides. For without
understanding the very nature of the shapes of these viruses,
chemists and pharmacologists would be at a loss in their attempt
to battle these viral parasites. Stay tuned for more in my Why
Study Math? series…
