Global Warming

                   Global Warming?  As we all know that is our almost every day talk about the environment. Every one says it is the rising temperature of the earth. When did the topic come? Who are the causers? What are are the advantages and disadvantages? What can we do about it? Those are the questions that almost everyone wonder about, but if we found about what do we do? Well.....  I will answer  the questions about  global warming .

         First of all What is global warming? It is an increase in the earth average atmospheric temprature that causes corresponding changes in climate that may result from the green house affect. When did us people came to be aware of it and how did we try to decrease it? People came to be aware of global warming in the late 70's through 80's. It was when the industrial age began in the United States with tons of pollution.

         Many peoplw wonder what are the advantages and the disadvantages. The answer to the advantages is reallyy few and the disadvantages you may know are a lot. Let's see the advantages first:

                                                        Less need of energy
                                              Fewer deaths and injuries in the cold
                                              Longer growing seasones meaning more agriculture
                                                         in some parts of the world
                                                    Mountains increeasing in height
                                             Frozen regions may experience more plant growth
                                                              and milder climates

           Those are some of the few advantages global warming. Know for the disadvantages:

                                                Ocean circulation disrupted
                                                   Deserts getting drier
                                             Changes to agricultural production
                                                   Water Shortage
                                               Starvation and malnutrition
                                          Air pollution   and much  more......

           There should be a reason why global warming is occuring and for the disadvantages. The answer is
                                  us the people that are wasting the earth or polluting it with so many gases.

         You as the old saying goes "someone who created the problem should fix the problem"
                                 So how can we fix it? Here are some soilutions:
                                                Save Electricity
                                                Bike or Walk
                                                 Plant Trees
                                                  Recycle
                                           Buy things that you need
                                Buy thing that have energy star on them

Sugar Cane

As we know there are many plant species in this world 
some of them which we already know and some of them
that  have never been discovered. Plants give us oxygen,
vegetables, fruits, and much more. There is one type of plant 
out there that gives us sugar. Sugar is used in many things 
especially food. Ice cream, Cake , and much more. The plant
that gives us is "The Sugar Cane!" There you go the name says it
all.

Before we get the sugar there is a whole lot of process that takes place
before we get the sugar. First a little bit of background information from the
sugar cane. The sugar cane is in the " Plantae"  Species. It was brought to the U.S
by Christopher Columbus in his second voyage. It is mainly grown in
Asia, Europe, and much more. It is grown in tropical
climate.

Now lets see how its processed. For sugar cane to be processed it takes 2
stages. One of the stages is the milling process.

In the milling process the Sugar cane is washed and 
shredded with different kinds of knives. After that it is 
continually washed, mixed with rollers, and is crushed between rollers.
Where the juice is collected and stored. The stored juice has
10-15 percent sucrose. The remains are called " Bagasse"  The remaining solids
are burned for fuel. The juice is put under the sun so it can be evaporated and
know it has 60 percent sucrose by weight.

            The last stage is Refining. In the Refining process the raw sugar is purified.
The raw sugar is mixed with heavy syrup and centrifuged which is called
" Affination" They do this because to wash away sugar crystals outer
coat away. Then the sugar is filtered and so are the remaining solids. The purified
sugar is now concentrated where it is repeatably crystallized by a vacuum. There
you get "Pure White Sugar"

Recycling


Papers? Aluminum Cans? Plastic Bottles? Are we
recycling all these materials? or at least once in a
while? If we don't recycle will it destroy our Earth
for good? Many people never recycle for being lazy,
too busy, and much more!!! In fact we are all killing
our Earth with our bare hands by not recycling
materials that can be recycled!!!! People should
be cautiously taking care of our Earth in every
way they can!! Every one needs to recycle in
every way and at every time.



Thanks for taking your time and reading my blog. Have a
wonderful day.

Conflicts


Conflicts? Can our daily lives
change?
or stay the same?
Can it change relationships
between family and friends?
Conflicts!!! without them our life is
a waste. It isn't exciting
or wonderful. It s just boring and lonesome.
We face conflicts
on a daily basis, they can be about family
or friends and much
more. I learned that conflicts can change
our lives and we can
learn from them. Over the years I learned to
have patience,
be productive, and responsible.

Thanks for taking your time and reading my blog. Have a nice day.

My Name

In Latin my name means "Pearl" In Indian it means a "cloud and a star" In English it is related to the name "Margaret" It is like the number 3 and 27 because they are my lucky numbers and it was the day I was born. The 27th of January. It is like the color orange starting the day with joy and ending the day with memories.

I wasn't named after anyone or a place. My parents thought if we have a baby girl we would name it "Meghana" The next year a baby girl was born, which turned out to be me. Like a wish that was trying to come true after many years. Just Waiting.......... To come True.........

At school people say my name in many different ways. That it is hard to keep in track. My science teacher says it "Kakarla" or "Meghana!". It sounds like he is screaming at me. Like I did something terribly wrong. My social studies teacher says it like"Meghanaaaaaa" like he is upset and annoyed to see me in his classroom. In class when people don't get my name they say it "Madonna" the famous singer. It technically bugs me!!!!! My parents say it Me-gha-na same way but pronounced differently. Which is calm and nice as everyone says it.

I don't think I'am going to baptize myself under a new name because my name suites me well enough. Maybe I should baptize myself. Maybe....... Just Maybe........ or I will keep it as it is, but it has a real long way to go.

Thanks for taking your time and reading my blog. Have a great day.
