5 Must-See Natural Wonders

January 30th, 2010 Sue

There is no doubt that there are many beautiful natural wonders that Mother Earth has to offer. With so many to see, the average person probably wouldn’t know where to start. Here are five natural wonders that everyone should go see at least once in their lifetime, some world known and some a little more underrated but just as awe-inspiring.

The Great Barrier Reef, Australia

A series of smaller reefs made out of coral, sand, and rock, the Great Barrier Reef stretches out an amazing 1,250 miles along the coast of Australia in the Pacific Ocean. The entire reef has not been explored yet, but for what has, the beauty is breathtaking.

Big Basin Redwoods State Park, California

Visitors can view 18,000 acres of ancient redwood trees along the 80 miles of hiking trail. Visitors would be amazed by the contrasting environment inside the park, with elevations ranging from sea level over 2,000 ft. and climate varying from warm, sunny, up high and damp, foggy down low all in the same day.

Mount Everest, Border between Nepal and Tibet

Part of the Himalayan Mountains, Mount Everest located between the border of Nepal and Tibet, is the highest peak in the world and is still getting taller. Mount Everest continues to grow two inches taller each year due to two plates of the Earth’s crust still pushing against one another.

Topsail Hill State Preserve, Florida

This northwest Florida treasure offers a three-mile stretch of sugary white sand beaches and vast dunes along the Gulf of Mexico. Topsail Hill not only offers vacationers a beautiful beach, it also offer boardwalks over protected dunes, miles of hiking trails and bike paths, and a great spot for fishing fanatics.

Big Bend National Park, Texas

This natural park draws tourists with its wild-west vistas, clean clear nights for stargazing and miles of challenging hikes. But what really draws your breath is the sheer isolation of 800,000 acres of natural wonder. One of the last remaining untouched environments in the United States, the experience of unmatched sights, sounds, and solitude cannot be denied.

4G Technology is the Fastest

January 23rd, 2010 Sue

Technology is constantly improving and it can be hard to keep track of all the new innovations and breakthroughs. It seems that every time we turn on the television, we are bombarded with new products. Often, we have no idea what these products do or why we might need them.

One of the most confusing areas of technology concerns the Internet and the many ways in which we can receive it in our homes and businesses.

When the Internet first arrived, a dial-up connection was the only way to get it. At this time, we may not have understood how the technology worked, but we did know that if we were going to use it, we would need a dial-up connection. It was easy to reach this conclusion because there were no other options available.

Then the cable modem arrived and we had to start making decisions about how we wanted to get the Internet. However, this too was not a difficult choice to make because it was obvious to see that getting the Internet using a cable modem was much better. For one thing, cable modems didn’t interfere with our telephone calls. When using a dial-up connection that depends on phone lines, all calls, both ingoing and outgoing, are stopped. It doesn’t take a person who knows a lot about technology to see how this is a great limitation, especially in matters of business. Furthermore, cable modems allowed us to get the Internet at much greater speeds. Again, it doesn’t take a genius to know that faster is better.

When wireless Internet appeared, it was easy to see how this new technology was a better option than a cable modem. Not only was this new technology much faster, but because it was wireless, not relying on any fixed connections, we gained a great mobility. Now we could surf the web from any place in our home and business.

But wireless technology is still improving. Suddenly, we are hearing many fancy terms and we don’t know what they mean or if they relevant to our needs. We are hearing terms like 2G and 3G. Recently, a radical new technology known as 4G appeared. If you are feeling lost and confused, don’t worry. Most people don’t fully understand what these words mean. Here is some general information that could help you.

In the world of Internet, speed is the name of the game. The biggest, most important, difference between 3G and 4G technology is speed. There are two types of speeds on which to focus when discussing the differences between 3G and 4G. The first type of speed is called download speed. Download speed measures how fast information can be accessed when using a laptop or handheld device. The second type of speed is called upload speed. This speed measures how fast information can be transmitted to the Internet. Regarding both types of speed, 4G technology blows away 3G technology.

If you are interested in speed while using the Internet in your home or business, consider this incredible new wireless technology.

Cricket – The Religion of India

January 19th, 2010 Sue

When it comes to games, Cricket is leading the way in India, the national game Hockey lagging miles behind. The passion among the people for the game is evident in the matches that are hosted in India. Thus it is said more than often that cricket has achieved the status of a religion in India with millions of followers to its credit. The fan base transcends all the cultural and religious barriers of the country. The people are so passionate about the game that it is almost impossible for a neutral cricket viewer to come and enjoy the game. The crowds begin to fill the stadium 5 hours prior on match days.

The different versions of the game have their respective followers with the One day matches and Twenty 20 comprising of youth and the Test matches for avid lovers of the game. The game which is played primarily by 8-10 nations is a rage in the Indian sub-continent with India leading the way. People follow their favorite cricketers closely and even a minute incident in their lives becomes a top story in the News. It might be fascinating for the sports fraternity across the world that the boards of such a game are among the richest in the world. For instance, the BCCI (Board for Cricket and Control in India) is the richest in the world leaving behind top Football clubs and the game which is being played by almost every country in the world.

Thus it is quite natural for people to know how one can create a success story with a game that is played only by miniscule number of nations of which some are still developing economies. But it will be an eye opener for them and for the followers of the game that there are very few spectators that come to witness the local or club level matches and thus turn out at only International matches. Most of them turn out at the matches where the home team is playing and see the home team winning. There are quite a number of occasions when India was losing the match and the stadium had to be evacuated as there was uproar from the crowd and throwing of bottles on the opponent team. There is maddening celebration after winning a game and effigies of players being burnt after losing a game. Thus it raises a basic question that whether we Indians really love the game of Cricket?

If Indians really appreciate the game then there should be ample public in the local club level matches and the standard of these games would also be higher. Unfortunately, this is not the case in India. It’s true that people are crazy but they want to see India winning. They cannot appreciate the finer things of the game even if home country is winning forget about when losing a game. This may not look an appropriate justification to an avid cricket lover from India but the picture will be crystal clear if we visit other countries and sports.

For instance the stadium is full of capacity in the club level matches in England and Australia with people staying till the very end of the game. They appreciate a good shot even by an opponent player’s team which is just opposite in India as there is a pin drop silence even if the opposition player has hit a beautiful shot or taken a crucial wicket. This is magnifies if we get to witness other games like tennis. It is a common instance there when people come together to appreciate a good game rather than support a particular player. There are quite a number of instances when Swiss maestro ace Roger Federer is cheered for his shot making over Briton Andy Murray in Wimbledon. The game of cricket, ironically, is facing a stiff competition from its various versions like One Day Cricket is Threatening Test Matches while Twenty20 is threatening them all.

Thus if Cricket has its ambitions to become a global game then its reception has to be a bit more serious in a country like India which has the largest following for the game. Otherwise, the success story of BCCI will be a temporary one and about just cashing the sentiments of the masses. They will have to promote the game at the grass root level and then go the next level of introducing it to the nations that are completely new to the game.
