Few Basic Things Of English (Helpful for those who want to learn Spoken English)

Especially in India there are many people who can't speak English properly . . That's the reason why they feel uncomfortable & uncompleted when they interact with modern people . Hence to compete with the modern world thy spent lot of money to learn English .
                But for those who can't spent Here are few basic points containing details about Tense & Aspects . which will be Helpful to Start learning . .

Aspects of the present tense:

Present simple (not progressive, not perfect): "I eat"
Present progressive(progressive, not perfect): "I am eating"
Present perfect (not progressive, perfect): "I have eaten"
Present perfect progressive(progressive, perfect): "I have been eating"

(While many elementary discussions of English grammar classify the present perfect as a past tense, it relates the action to the present time. One cannot say of someone now deceased that he "has eaten" or "has been eating". The present auxiliary implies that he is in some way present (alive), even if the action denoted is completed (perfect) or partially completed (progressive perfect).)

Aspects of the past tense:

Past simple (not progressive, not perfect): "I ate"
Past progressive (progressive, not perfect): "I was eating"
Past perfect (not progressive, perfect): "I had eaten"
Past perfect progressive(progressive, perfect): "I had been eating"

Aspects can also be marked onnon-finite forms of the verb: "(to) be eating" (infinitive with progressive aspect), "(to) have eaten" (infinitive with perfect aspect), "having eaten" (present participle or gerund with perfect aspect), etc. The perfect infinitive can further be governed by modal verbs to express various meanings, mostly combining modality with past reference: "I should have eaten" etc. In particular, the modals will and shall and their subjunctive forms would and should are used to combine future or hypothetical reference with aspectual meaning:

Simple futuresimple conditional: "I will eat", "I would eat"
Future progressiveconditional progressive: "I will be eating", "I would be eating"
Future perfectconditional perfect: "I will have eaten", "I would have eaten"
Future perfect progressive,conditional perfect progressive: "I will have been eating", "I would have been eating"

. . . The above article was about 3 types of Tenses & their Aspects . . These are for starting only . . as First lesson of study . to study more wait for next articles . . Thank you

How to make Oxygen on mars..?

Nasa Looks to Make Oxygen on Mars Using Microbes

Future human missions to the Red Planet may not have to carry heavy oxygen cylinders with them. Scientists are working on ways to produce the life gas on Mars itself. Nasa is looking at creating ecosystems able to support life, for future human missions.

As part of this goal, it is funding Indiana-based company Techshot Inc. to research a solution that will produce oxygen that won't rely heavily on the Earth for future Martian colonies, www.ign.com reported.

"This is a possible way to support a human mission to Mars, producing oxygen without having to send heavy gas canisters," Eugene Boland, chief scientist at Techshot, was quoted as saying.

"Let's send microbes and let them do the heavy lifting for us," he added.

Techshot's experiments are carried out in a "Mars room" which simulates Mars' atmospheric pressure, day-night temperature changes and the solar radiation.

Using Martian soil, the scientists test the feasibility of using ecosystem-building pioneer organisms to produce oxygen. The organisms could also remove nitrogen from the Martian soil.

Boland believes habitable biodomes that "enclose ecopoiesis-provided oxygen through bacterial or algae-driven conversion systems" could exist on the Martian surface in the near future.

Nasa says its goal of landing astronauts on Mars in the 2030s is vital for obtaining evidence of life.

Nasa's Curiosity rover recently found evidence of fixed nitrogen and carbon-containing organic molecules -ingredients for life - on Mars' surface.

It is also now thought that ancient Mars held waterways and vast oceans covering its northern hemisphere.

Facebook & women

Women, Don't Get 'Thinspired' on Facebook

Viewing images of extremely thin women on Facebook and other social media platforms can trigger body dissatisfaction and eating disorders among women, reveals a new study. Such images, often cropped to remove heads or focus on specific body parts, lead young women to think that is what they should look like.

Imagine a teenage girl or even a young woman looking for inspiration using terms such as attractive, fit or pretty.

"She will likely find images of headless, scantily clad, sexualized women and their body parts on social media," said Jannath Ghaznavi from the University of California, Davis.

For the study, Ghaznavi and associate professor Laramie Taylor examined about 300 images from Twitter and Pinterest postings that used the terms "thinspiration" and "thinspo" to tag images and ideas promoting extreme thinness and often casting eating disorders in a positive light.

Images from Twitter, popular among younger audiences, were most likely to be cropped to remove heads and focus on specific body parts compared to Pinterest.

"This could prompt these girls and women to resort to extreme dieting, excessive exercise or other harmful behaviours in order to achieve this thin ideal," Ghaznavi added.

Repeated exposure to such content can result in body dissatisfaction and disordered eating attitudes.

The paper was published in the journal Body Image: An International Journal of Research.

Few things that you should never do in life

We all use to live in a world of competition. Where we always need to prove ourself better than others & some time the best . Cause the generation we are living in is all about showing off .
               I think all of us might have experiance a time where all  of our attempt to impress a person (really close to our heart) result neagatively  . Which lead a relationship towards brak up or make us ashamed .

To prevent all this kind of things we must know what we should do or don't .
Here are few of the things we should never do

* Mess with another man's automobile. We don't care
if he stole your wife, your job, and your dog. It's
blasphemy.

*. Send an angry e-mail. Have the huevos to pick up
the phone or, better yet, have a téte-à-téte. Fireworks
aren't just for Independence Day.

* Dismiss a woman who shows any interest in
watching baseball with you. She wants you bad.

* Snoop through her e-mail, closets, or medicine
chest. There's probably nothing there you need to
worry about. But rest assured, you'll find something
you don't want to see.

*. Keep a home-run ball hit by the opposing team. Or
one hit by any player on the juice. We don't care if
it's worth millions. Throw it back or you're a traitor.

*. Forget an undershirt. Go ahead, let 'em see you
sweat. Just don't let 'em see sweat creeping out from
your underarms like dark, foreboding tunnels to your
moistened soul.

*. Four words: inner-thigh adductor machine. It
might be a tough-to-reach muscle group, but there's
never been a better way to strain your self-esteem.

*. Talk politics or religion with new friends. And if
you consider sports one of the two, leave that off the
table as well.

*Talk salary. The more you make, the easier it is to
cheapen your image.

* Have that extra drink. You know, the one that
takes you from hilarious to hyena. Always respect
your tippling point.

*. DIY plumbing. You think it looks easy. Then your
house falls down. Water, like Hulk Hogan's wife, is not
to be flirted with.

* Leer. Sure, her buttons are quivering to rein in her
pendulous bosoms. Sure, it looks "cold in here. " And
sure, each giggle causes her chest to sway
suggestively. But "pervert " isn't a label you can just
peel off.

* Argue with a cop. You were caught. Own up. Accept
defeat. The only thing you win in that battle is a
humid cell and a roommate nicknamed Stabby.

*Hang anything—your cellphone, your keys—on
your belt. You'll never get laid again. True story.

* Pluck your brows. It's okay to groom. It's okay to
like a woman who grooms. It's not okay to groom like
a woman.

* Go tanning. Forget skin cancer. Being trapped
between heating elements is for cheese.

Yogurt not gonna make you healthy

A study involving more than 4,000 people has found
no link between the regular intake of yogurt and
improvement in physical health.
"The regular consumption of yogurt is not linked to
health-related quality of life," said lead author Esther
Lopez-Garcia from Autonomous University of Madrid,
Spain.
The study carried out in Spain evaluated whether
there is a link between the regular consumption of
yogurt and the physical and mental improvement in
health-related quality of life (HRQL).
The three-and-half-year-long study involved 4,445
Spanish adults.
"In comparison with people who did not eat yogurt,
those who ate this dairy product regularly did not
display any significant improvement in their score on
the physical component of quality of life and
although there was a slight improvement mentally,
this was not statistically significant," Lopez-Garcia
noted.
Until now, several research papers have suggested
that the consumption of yogurt could influence HRQL
either directly or indirectly.
For the experts, one of the reasons may be because
it is rich in calcium, protecting the bones and which
could help to combat osteomuscular illnesses -- one
of the conditions with greatest negative impact on
the quality of life.
Also, more specifically, its intake has been
associated with lesser weight increase and a lower
rate of cardiovascular diseases.
The new study was published in the Journal of the
Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

GET READY TO WELCOME THE INVISIBLE MAN . . .

'Invisible Man' Created in Swedish Lab

Swedish scientists have created for the first time in the lab a perceptual illusion of having an invisible body among humans. The experiment involved 125 participants standing up and wearing a set of head-mounted displays.

The participants were then asked to look down at their bodies but instead of their real bodies, they saw empty space.

To evoke the feeling of having an invisible body, scientists touched participants' body in various locations with a large paintbrush while, with another paintbrush held in the other hand, exactly imitating the movements in mid-air in full view of the participants.

"Within less than a minute, the majority of the participants started to transfer the sensation of touch to the portion of empty space where they saw the paintbrush move and experienced an invisible body in that position," explained Arvid Guterstam, lead author from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden.

In a previous study, the same team showed that the same illusion can be created for a single hand.

"The present study demonstrates that the 'invisible hand illusion' can, surprisingly, be extended to an entire invisible body," he noted.

To demonstrate that the illusion actually worked, the researchers would make a stabbing motion with a knife toward the empty space that represented the belly of the invisible body.

The participants' sweat response to seeing the knife was elevated while experiencing the illusion but absent when the illusion was broken.

"It suggests that the brain interprets the threat in empty space as a threat directed toward one's own body," the authors noted.

In another experiment, the team examined whether the feeling of invisibility affects social anxiety by placing the participants in front of an audience of strangers.

"We found that their heart rate and self-reported stress level during the 'performance' was lower when they experienced the invisible body illusion," Guterstam noted.

The results are interesting because they show that the perceived physical quality of the body can change the way our brain processes social cues.

The results suggest that the feeling of invisibility changes our physical stress response in challenging social situations.

The power of invisibility has long fascinated man and inspired the works of many great authors and philosophers such as renowned science fiction writer H.G. Wells who wrote "The Invisible Man".

Recent advances in materials science have shown that invisibility cloaking of large-scale objects such as a human body might be possible in the not-so-distant future.
