9 Apocalypse movies-To watch

The word “apocalypse” literally means “lifting of the veil” or “revelation” and is typically used to describe the end of the world, whether that end is brought about by something spiritual, natural, man-made or a combination of all three.

There are as many theories on how the world will end as there are religions, faiths and philosophies. Thus, Hollywood has lots to choose from when deciding how to show the demise of humanity on the big screen. And the creators of the new Internet television series “2012” have added a new voice to the genre. In “2012”, the Mayan calendar is correct and in December, 2012, aliens destroy most of life on earth. A handful of courageous survivors must overcome the odds as they are guided to safety by the mysterious extrasensory visions of an unknown Mayan god. With resources at a minimum, basic survival is key as they attempt to battle the aliens and evade the rest of the humans who have been infected beyond a cure.

2012: Arrival – Ep.1

Since there won’t be any filmmakers left to document the actual end of life as we know it, below are nine films which, if they didn’t get it exactly right, did a great job depicting The End.

Children of Men

The end of the world comes quietly and sadly in this 2006 Clive Owen-starrer. It is the year 2027 and mankind has lost the ability to reproduce.

Owen plays a man who is a shell of his former self. Once a fiery activist, now he’s just waiting for humanity’s extinction. That changes, however, when his old friend and partner, played by Julianne Moore, introduces him to a pregnant woman. Seeing this miracle ignites Owen’s fire and he risks it all to get her to safety.

Children of Men, based on the book The Children of Men, does a great job at giving audiences an alternative to big, violent, end-times fare. Chronic, species-wide infertility is a great villain and the film captures the sadness and longing that a slow march to extinction would bring.

Antarctic Lake Vostok-may reveal life history

Russian scientists opened a frontier miles under the Antarctic ice, after drilling down and finally reaching the surface of 20-million-year-old Lake Vostok, an achievement the mission chief likened to placing a man on the moon. The gigantic buried freshwater reservoir could harbor life from Earth's distant past.

 

The scientific commuity anticaptes that Lake Vostok could host living organisms that have been locked in frigid darkness for some 20 million years, as well as clues to the search for life elsewhere in the solar system such as Jupiter's "Ocean Moon," Europa, under the ice crust on Mars, and Saturn's moon Enceladus, also believed to harbor a vast buried ocean. Penetrating the surface of the lakecame after more than two decades of drilling when the Russian team made contact with the lake water Sunday at a depth of 12,366 feet (3,769 meters), about 800 miles (1,300 kilometers) east of the South Pole in the central part of the continent.
Lake Vostok is kept from freezing into a solid block by the more than two-mile-thick crust of ice that acts like a blanket, keeping in heat generated by the Earth's geothermal energy.
"They followed different laws of evolution that are yet unknown to us," he said.Studying Lake Vostok will also yield insights about the origins of Antarctica, which is believed by many to have been part of a broader continent in the distant past.



But Jupiter's Europa might not only sustain, but foster life, according to the research of University of Arizona's Richard Greenberg, a professor of planetary sciences and member of the Imaging Team for NASA's Galileo Jupiter-orbiter spacecraft.
Europa, similar in size to Earth's moon, and has been imaged by the Galileo Jupiter-orbiter spacecraft. Its surface, a frozen crust of water, was previously thought to be tens of kilometers thick, denying the oceans below any exposure. The combination of tidal processes, warm waters and periodic surface exposure may be enough not only to warrant life, but also to encourage evolution.
With Jupiter being the largest planet in the solar system, its tidal stresses on Europa create enough heat to keep the water on Europa in a liquid state. More than just water is needed to support life. Tides also play a role in providing for life. Ocean tides on Europa are much greater in size than Earth's with heights reaching 500 meters (more than 1,600 feet). Even the shape of the moon is stretched along the equator due to Jupiter's pull on the waters below the icy surface.
The mixing of substances needed to support life is also driven by tides. Stable environments are also necessary for life to flourish. Europa, whose orbit around Jupiter is in-sync with its rotation, is able to keep the same face towards the gas giant for thousands of years.  There is strong evidence that the ocean below the ice is connected to the surface through cracks and melting, at various times and places. As a result, the , if there is one, includes not just the liquid water ocean, but it extends through the ice up to the surface where there is access to oxidants, organic compounds, and light for photosynthesis.
Tides have created the two types of surface features seen on Europa: cracks/ridges and chaotic areas, Greenberg said.The ridges are thought to be built over thousands of years by water seeping up the edges of cracks and refreezing to form higher and higher edges until the cracks close to form a new ridge.
The chaotic areas are thought to be evidence of the melt-through necessary for exposure to the oceans.
The tidal heat, created by internal friction, could be enough to melt the ice, along with undersea volcanoes - a combination of factors would give organisms a stable but changing environment -- exactly the type that would encourage evolution.

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day started in the time of the Roman Empire. In ancient Rome, February 14th was a holiday to honour Juno. Juno was the Queen of the Roman Gods and Goddesses. The Romans also knew her as the Goddess of women and marriage. The following day, February 15th, began the Feast of Lupercalia.

The lives of young boys and girls were strictly separate. However, one of the customs of the young people was name drawing. On the eve of the festival of Lupercalia the names of Roman girls were written on slips of paper and placed into jars. Each young man would draw a girl's name from the jar and would then be partners for the duration of the festival with the girl whom he chose. Sometimes the pairing of the children lasted an entire year, and often, they would fall in love and would later marry.

Under the rule of Emperor Claudius II Rome was involved in many bloody and unpopular campaigns. Claudius the Cruel was having a difficult time getting soldiers to join his military leagues. He believed that the reason was that roman men did not want to leave their loves or families. As a result, Claudius cancelled all marriages and engagements in Rome. The good Saint Valentine was a priest at Rome in the days of Claudius II. He and Saint Marius aided the Christian martyrs and secretly married couples, and for this kind deed Saint Valentine was apprehended and dragged before the Prefect of Rome, who condemned him to be beaten to death with clubs and to have his head cut off. He suffered martyrdom on the 14th day of February, about the year 270. At that time it was the custom in Rome, a very ancient custom, indeed, to celebrate in the month of February the Lupercalia, feasts in honour of a heathen god. On these occasions, amidst a variety of pagan ceremonies, the names of young women were placed in a box, from which they were drawn by the men as chance directed.

The pastors of the early Christian Church in Rome endeavoured to do away with the pagan element in these feasts by substituting the names of saints for those of maidens. And as the Lupercalia began about the middle of February, the pastors appear to have chosen Saint Valentine's Day for the celebration of this new feaSt. So it seems that the custom of young men choosing maidens for valentines, or saints as patrons for the coming year, arose in this way.

In some countries, a young woman may receive a gift of clothing from a young man. If she keeps the gift, it means she will marry him.
Some people used to believe that if a woman saw a robin flying overhead on Valentine's Day, it meant she would marry a sailor. If she saw a sparrow, she would marry a poor man and be very happy. If she saw a goldfinch, she would marry a millionaire.
A love seat is a wide chair. It was first made to seat one woman and her wide dress. Later, the love seat or courting seat had two sections, often in an S-shape. In this way, a couple could sit together -- but not too closely!
Think of five or six names of boys or girls you might marry, As you twist the stem of an apple, recite the names until the stem comes off. You will marry the person whose name you were saying when the stem fell off.
Pick a dandelion that has gone to seed. Take a deep breath and blow the seeds into the wind. Count the seeds that remain on the stem. That is the number of children you will have.
If you cut an apple in half and count how many seeds are inside, you will also know how many children you will have.

Nougat Semifreddo: Italian desserts

If you got a lot of Italian Christmas hampers over the holiday season,you’ve probably got an awful lot of panettone, pandoro or torrone to get through  Torrone is the Italian word for nougat and today we’ll look at a recipe for using it as a semifreddo dessert, in conclusion to other the Italian christmas recipes.

While homemade gelato can be difficult to do without an icecream machine, semifreddo is easy as you can make it just with cream and then freeze it later. If you find a good semifreddo recipe, you can make all sorts of flavours, too.

 For this nougat semifreddo you’ll need: 

• 200 g of nougat (possibly dark chocolate flavour but anything will work), 
• two eggs, four tablespoons of sugar, 
• 200 ml of whipped cream,
•  half a glass of brandy, 
• chocolate flakes and fresh red currents.
•  For a finishing sauce use 100 g of dark chocolate and 50 ml of fresh cream.

Beat the egg yolks with the sugar, put the nougat through a food mixer and then mix with the eggs, adding the brandy. Mix until you get a smooth consistency. 
Add the cream, then whip the egg whites and add a little at a time. Pour into a small, rectangular cake or loaf dish and put in the freezer for 5-6 hours. 
Take it out of the freezer about half an hour before serving and serve with the melted chocolate and cream, along with some chocolate flakes and the currents.
I bet your mouth is watery after reading all this. :)

Remote Sensing

Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon, without making physical contact with the object. In modern usage, the term generally refers to the use of aerial sensor technologies to detect and classify objects on Earth (both on the surface, and in the atmosphere and oceans) by means of propagated signals (e.g. electromagnetic radiation emitted from aircraft or satellites).


   Earth scientists use the technique of remote sensing to monitor or measure phenomena found in the Earth's lithosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. Remote sensing of the environment by geographers is usually done with the help of mechanical devices known as remote sensors. These gadgets have a greatly improved the ability to receive and record information about an object without any physical contact. Often, these sensors are positioned away from the object of interest by using helicopters, planes, and satellites. Most sensing devices record information about an object by measuring an object's transmission of electromagnetic energy from reflecting and radiating surfaces. These sensors are either passive or active. Passive sensors detect energy when the naturally occurring energy is available such as sun energy. Active sensors provide their own energy source as radar waves and record its reflection on the target.

Remote sensing imagery has many applications in mapping land-use and cover, agriculture, soils mapping, forestry, city planning, archaeological investigations, military observation, and geomorphological surveying, among other uses. For example, foresters use aerial photographs for preparing forest cover maps, locating possible access roads, and measuring quantities of trees harvested. Specialized photography using color infrared film has also been used to detect disease and insect damage in forest trees. 

Genetic Engineering

Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the direct human manipulation of an organism's genome using modern DNA technology. It involves the introduction of foreign DNA or synthetic genes into the organism of interest. The introduction of new DNA does not require the use of classical genetic methods, however traditional breedingmethods are typically used for the propagation of recombinant organisms.


                         The most common form of genetic engineering involves the insertion of new genetic material at an unspecified location in the host genome. This is done by isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning methods to generate a DNA sequence containing the required genetic elements for expression, and then inserting this construct into the host organism. Other forms of genetic engineering include gene targeting and knocking out specific genes via engineered nucleases such aszinc finger nucleases or engineered homing endonucleases.The first field trials of genetically engineered plants occurred in France and the USA in 1986, tobacco plants were engineered to be resistant to herbicides

Procedure :

Isolating gene-

First, the gene to be inserted into the genetically modified organism must be chosen and isolated.Once chosen the genes must be isolated. This typically involves multiplying the gene using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). If the chosen gene or the donor organism's genome has been well studied it may be present in a genetic library.  Once isolated, the gene is inserted into a bacterial plasmid.

Construct:

The gene to be inserted into the genetically modified organism must be combined with other genetic elements in order for it to work properly. The gene can also be modified at this stage for better expression or effectiveness. As well as the gene to be inserted most constructs contain a promoter and terminator region as well as a selectable marker gene. The constructs are made using recombinant DNA techniques, such molecular cloning.

Targeting Gene:

The most common form of genetic engineering involves inserting new genetic material randomly within the host genome. Other techniques allow new genetic material to be inserted at a specific location in the host genome or generate mutations at desired genomic loci capable of knocking out endogenous genes. The technique of gene targeting uses homologous recombination to target desired changes to a specific endogenous gene.

Transformation:

The genes to be inserted are cloned into a binary vector, which contains T-DNA and can be grown in both E. Coli and Agrobacterium. Once the binary vector is constructed the plasmid is transformed into Agrobacterium containing no plasmids and plant cells are infected. The Agrobacterium will then naturally insert the genetic material into the plant cells.About 1% of bacteria are naturally able to take up foreign DNA but it can also be induced in other bacteria. Stressing the bacteria for example, with a heat shock or an electric shock, can make the cell membrane permeable to DNA that may then incorporate into their genome or exist as extrachromosomal DNA. 

Selection:

Not all the organism's cells will be transformed with the new genetic material; in most cases a selectable marker is used to differentiate transformed from untransformed cells. If a cell has been successfully transformed with the DNA it will also contain the marker gene. 

Regeneration:

As often only a single cell is transformed with genetic material the organism must be regrown from that single cell. As bacteria consist of a single cell and reproduce clonally regeneration is not necessary. In plants this is accomplished through the use of tissue culture. Each plant species has different requirements for successful regeneration through tissue culture. If successful an adult plant is produced that contains the transgene in every cell. In animals it is necessary to ensure that the inserted DNA is present in the embryonic stem cells.

Confirmation:

The finding that a recombinant organism contains the inserted genes is not usually sufficient to ensure that the genes will be expressed in an appropriate manner in the intended tissues of the recombinant organism. To examine the presence of the gene, further analysis frequently uses PCR, Southern hybridization, and DNA sequencing, which serve to determine the chromosomal location and copy number of the inserted gene.
