MOON- Some facts

Well January 30th,2010. We have speciality in our sky. Moon, the natural satellite of the earth has neared to 50000 kms to our planet.

Shall we look out some facts about it?

When and How Moon was formed?

There are many beliefs or theories about the findings of moon's origin.

• Some theories say, Moon was the first to be formed after then only earth. Because of the gravity,  it is believed that Earth has pulled out the Moon.
• Another theory was, Earth and Moon was formed at the same time, but due to the gravity,Moon instead of revolving the Sun, revolves Moon.
• Third one is, Earth was the first one to be formed. Some part of the earth was drawn away due to some Meteroite, which has become Moon. The blank place is the then Pacific Ocean.

Anyhow, all these are just hypothesis. None of them are proved.

Sun seen on day, Moon seen at night. Yet how both of them are at same size?

Is there any problem on our eyes? No.

The distance between Earth and the Moon is approximately 4 lakh Kms. But this is not a constant distance. It varies, as, like earth, Moon revloves Earth in an elliptical orbit.

Sun is 400 times bigger than Moon. Sun is at distance of 400 times of distance between Earth and Moon. That is why the sizes of sun and Moon are alike for a spectator from Earth.

BLUE MOON, BLACK MOON, OTHER MOON:

We would have heard some terms "Once in a Blue Moon", it is quoted for something which is unusal. What is Blue Moon. Does the color of the Moon becomes blue? Not at all. Sometimes due to the intervention of dust,fog,smog on Earth's surface makes the Moon to look blue.
Another fact is, usually full moon event occurs once in a month. But once in 3 years full moon occurs twice in a month. The second full moon of the month is termed 'Blue Moon'.

Once in 29 days full Moon becomes new Moon. But sometimes full moon event does not occur at all, say for example in the month February, where we have 28 days, we cannot see full moon at times. that is termed as Black Moon.

We would have heard some stories from our Grand parents, parents, like Moon is swallowed by a giant Snake. That is Lunar Eclipse. Imagine how big the snake must be to swallow a moon!

What is the reason when something visible has become invisble? Because it was covered up by something Who can be the mischief who covers up the Moon. He can eiether be the Sun or the Earth. Moon is not illuminated on its own.  It gets its light from Sun. If there is no Sunlight then there is no light for Moon.

During Lunar eclipse, Earth comes in between the Sun and the Moon and all the three are in a straight line. So light from the Sun is blocked to Moon, by the Earth from being reflected. So suddenly Moon disappears. But Moon continues to revolve around the Earth. Thus becomes visible again.

MOON DAY: July 20th, 1969. The Day when Earth man first time landed on Moon.

GRAVITY:What will we do to reduce our weight? Diet,Excercise or both. But we do not require this if we are in Moon.

The gravity in Moon is 1/6th of the gravity of Earth. So anything weighing 6 kilogram in Earth will 1 Kg in Moon. If you are 60 kg in Earth, then you are 10 kg in MoonIf you jump from a land surface from Earth, we come back within seconds but in Moon we come back after some minutes. Because Moon has no gravity.

Intersting isn't it?

Well these are some small facts of Moon.

Known is a drop, Unknown is Moon

Some hidden facts in GD cracking

Guys,

Well . Many of you would have wrote aps, attended many interviews yet not have cracked them and grabbed jobs.

It is not only your problem rather problem of many graduates.So do not worry about it too much. Time has not reached you.

Here I post one GD experience which fetched job for that candidate.

It is a simple fact.

In many Interview cracking books, many advices would have been penned up.

I would rather say, all facts in those books will not be applicable at all places. Only some is applicable in some places only some times.

In the GD, the topic given was,

"Why actresses from north india are opted for heroine roles in our films".

The topic will be liked by almost all young stairs. The matter is not about the topic but the fact behind GD.

Generally GDs are conducted to test your boldness, fluency, how much you are confident about yourself etc. In many books there will be a point mentioned. That is "person who initiates the discussion will be given more weightage than others."

Here the points will be mentioned in the following way"

Initiation Techniques


Initiating a Group Discussion is a high profit-high loss strategy.

When you initiate a Group Discussion, you not only grab the opportunity to speak, you also grab the attention of the examiner and your fellow candidates.

If you can make a favourable first impression with your content and communication skills after you initiate a Group Discussion, it will help you sail through the discussion.

But if you initiate a Group Discussion and stammer/ stutter/ quote wrong facts and figures, the damage might be irreparable.

If you initiate a Group Discussion impeccably but don't speak much after that, it gives the impression that you started the Group Discussion for the sake of starting it or getting those initial kitty of points earmarked for an initiator!

When you start a Group Discussion, you are responsible for putting it into the right perspective or framework. So initiate one only if you have indepth knowledge about the topic at hand.

There are different techniques to initiate a Group Discussion and make a good first impression:


i. Quotes
ii. Definition
iii. Question
iv. Shock statement
v. Facts, figures and statistics
vi. Short story
vii. General statement


Guys, you would have thought that you are the only one who know these points. No, these points are known by almost all the graduates who opt for a job. So when everyone are aware of this fact, it is natural that all of them will try to initiate the discussion at a time. Ultimately the examiner will not know who had initiated the discussion. So, hereafter do not attempt that practice.

 As I already said, since many of them are aware about that fact, it is not going to help you to have any special impressions on you for examiners. Better wait for a second or two, to see if anybody in your group will start to speak. If not nobody does , then you start . At this time your chances will have possibilities to increase. If anybody starts leave it, no issue, becoz just for that fact you did not initiate will not decrease your score.

Next, everybody have a pressure to clear the round, so almost all members will try to establish their points to impress examiner. So when everybody talks at a time, the hr will not know who is speaking better. So even if you shout, it is not going to work., your uniqueness will not identified. So if many members are speaking, leave it.

You know every HR in a GD at last, will  give a chance for the people who had not spoken. At that time you strongly utter your points, with confidently, boldly, firm but politely along with a loud voice. It will increase your score.

Next if you are speaking naturally, your speech will be interrupted by another person. Please do not say
"Please wait, let me finish". You will be considered as a rude person. And also do not say "Friends, please do not quarrel" or "do not fight". You are not there to stop quarrels, but only to expose your communication skill.

• Speak only relevant points.
• Do not speak in one word
• Do not utter your points to examiner. Speak as if the examiner is not there.
• Do not stammer. Even if you speak one point speak it with clear, perfect, confident tone.
•  Do not point out any person in name or their negative aspects. You are not speaking in any   meeting. But speak all positive points. It would help.
•  Do not dominate your other speakers. Do not frequently interrupt any speaker. It will create a very worst impression about you to HR. Let them finish their point. After that a 1/10 second gap will come. You start speaking in that gap.

Well, apply all those points as per the situation. You decide how you should act in the place.

Also you follow some other aspects as per neccessity from below URL.

Unlucky Number : 13

Rahu Kala, Yama Kanda., All these are formulated to threaten people by our fore-fathers. After a while it was established 8 is not a lucky number. People ensured that even their Vehicle registration number does not contain 8 as the result of sum of all digits. This is in India.

Similarly foreign countries too have some sentiments which even terrorise to an great extent. Like 8 in our country 13 is the most unlucky number for them. Even if we take numbers of houses we can see 12 then number 14 is alloted but we could not see the number 13. Even the large railway station platforms will 12th platform then 14th platform, but not 13th platform. Even governments are scared of this number. The interesting fact is if date 13 comes at Friday it is taken as bad omen. On these days the streets will be deserted, trains, buses will even cancel their services.

We may think that these are stupid sentiments and senseless ones, but let us take in this way. Today due to development in sciences people are slowly losing their attachment towards the religion their principles, disciplines etc. So when this trend continues, the world will one day become a graveyard. In order to make them people follow correct pathways these phobias are instilled in people's mind. But some take it as a source of making life interesting.

There are many beliefs about these fact.The most popular belief is, Jesus Christ was crucified on October 13th, which is a Friday. Hence christians are believing 13 to be unlucky number.

We call this phobia as Triskaidekaphobia (tris meaning "3," kai meaning "and," and deka meaning "10"). These people postpone their businesses aside even if they are in urgency to complete. For them sentiment plays a vital role in their life rather than remedies.

What can we do with these? When we are sincere and honest to our conscience we need not scare for anything.

What, am i correct?

Unidentified Flying Objects and Apollo Missions

From the middle of twentieth century, two superior developed nations had a competition towards attaining the goal on, who among them is would reach the moon. I don't have to say they are U.S.A and U.S.S.R. Both nations struggled their level best to dominate outer space. The most important mission is make man reach moon. Despite several failure attempts , it was America which achieved it. But many of the USAians even today are not ready to believe the man moon mission. Any how it is believed that in the year 1969, when first earth man stepped on moon, the whole human race was proud.

The subsequent years from 1969 to 1972 American moon mission extended from Apollo 11 to Apollo 17. During these missions many research were done about Moon, on the stones, landscapes, soil etc etc. The astronauts and NASA scientists exchanged informations and communicated with each other. All the conversations are broadcasted on radio. Factually no informations were concealed about Apollo's missions to general public. But it is told by one of the scientist of NASA that all informations are not published to the common people. It is about the UFOs which were witnessed by almost all the astronauts on moon.

APOLLO 11 AND UFO

The historical Apollo 11 mission was accompolished on July 20, 1969 with the landing of astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit. Five subsequent Apollo missions also landed astronauts on the Moon, the last in December 1972. Unofficially it is notified that Neil Armstrong and Aldrin have seen these UFOs on the moon skies. Many informations were released by NASA the most significant one the live radio broadcast which relayed to people, the each and every movement of Apollo 11. Not only NASA medias but also many private radio channels ran the live relay without interference. Everything was fine until suddenly some few minutes relay was interrupted during the crucial conversations between NASA mission control and Apollo 11 astronauts.

It was recorded that due to some over heat in the cameras the interruption occured. But it was recalled by some scientists, that, while one of the discussion say "a light" was started, the broadcast was cut off. When astronauts were saying something about UFO NASA disrupted the broadcast intentionally in order to avoid common public to know about it. As mentioned some other private radio channels were also transmitting the conversations. Their frequencies were not been interrupted. They were able to clearly hear the exchanges between APOLLO 11 and MISSION CONTROL

Here are few below:

MISSION CONTROL : What was it, what the hell was it? That's all I want to know....

APOLLO 11: These. . . (garbled) . . .babies were huge, sir, they were enormous....

No, No, that's just field distortion....
Oh, God, you wouldn't believe it....

MISSION CONTROL: What...what...what the hell's going on? Whats a matter with you guys . . . ?

APOLLO 11: They're here, under the surface....

MISSION CONTROL: What's there.. .malfunction. .Mission Control calling Apollo 11....

Roger, we're here, all three of us, but we've found some visitors....
Y Yeah, they've been here for quite a while judging by the installations....
Mission control, repeat last message....
APOLLO 11: I'm telling you, there are other spacecraft out there. hey're lined up in ranks on the far side of the crater edge....

MISSION CONTROL: Repeat, repeat....

APOLLO 11: Let's get that orbit scanned and head home....
In 625 to the fifth, auto-relays set...My hands are Shaking so bad....

MISSION CONTROL: Film...yes, the damned cameras were clicking away from up here...
Did you fellows get anything?

APOLLO 11: Had no film left by the time. . . (garbled) . . . three shots of the saucers, or whatever they were. . .may have fogged the film.

MISSION CONTROL: Mission Control, this is Mission Control...are you under way, repeat, are you under way? What's this uproar about UFOs? Over.

APOLLO 11: they're set up down there...they're on the moon... watching us.... The mirrors, the mirrors . . . you set them up, didn't you? Yes, the mirrors are all in place. But whatever built those spacecraft will probably come over and pull 'em all out by the roots tomorrow....

It looks like the activities of APOLLO 11 regarding UFO was confused by NASA. Though NASA concealed the informations few other ex-scientists who were involved in APOLLO mission released new informations.

Unlike Earth, in moon there are many craters which are much deep. Since moon does not have atmosphere meteorites dashed the surface resulting in huge fissures. When Aldrin and Armstring landed on the surface they saw a bright glow on the either side of the crater. They saw spaceships which was confirmed to be alien's coming one by one. They also said it cannot be any illusions of light. During their historical moon walk they went very much away from Apollo. when they turned to return they were stunned to see some UFO engulfing their shuttle as if some examine Apollo 11. How could it be when we were thinking that we were alone and no one else with us, but there are somebody other than humans who are with us in that lonely moon land.Their tension was exposed very in the recording while they communicating this information to the earth station. They immediately returned to Apollo and witnessed the take off of those UFOs. Many other astronauts also recorded similar incidents like this during further moon missions.

Neil Armstrong during later days pointed that those objects were gigantic with developed technologies. It was like a sign of some warning.

Many further Apollo missions also experienced the UFO sight on moon. All the astronauts who took up the mission are experienced talented people. So there cannot be any exhaugerration in their statements. We can infer that the UFOs are not only seen at earth but also on moon.

From above facts I would conclude by saying that UFOs are........


Better you finish it

SECERETARY OF GHOST

A teacher will dictate and students will write. This is convention. Have you heard of a teacher who writes for the dictation of a ghost?

Britain's retired teacher Stella Horrocks, contacts ghosts and write down the dictations of ghosts at a rate of even 200 words per second.

Apparitions of Famous people::

Stella states that she could communicate with more than 300 apparitions and she writes of the dictations of them. She also articulates that she can communicate with the souls of famous leaders, authors, literarians etc. Her lists include people include Charles Dickens,Thomas Hardy, Jane Agastin, John.F.Kennedy etc etc etc

She also declares that she wrote the dictation of Wellingston's ghost about incident of defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte by Wellingston.

How this is possible? Is it true? Can this happen? What conclusion can we come to from this information?

According to psycologists, these people are called Automatic writers. They believe and want to strongly establish that there is a life after death.

However these facts are incredible.

EXTRAORDINARY SERVICE BY DOLPHIN

3TVWEP9A2ZVC

Man is the most intelligent creature in this earth. Do you agree? But I won’t. For me the most intelligent creature is Dolphin. It is not an intelligent but also kind and humble. It can be understood how and why?

In New Zealand, lies a strait connecting Tasmanian Sea on the west with South Pacific Ocean on the east called Cook Strait. That small narrow sea path is usually an accident prone zone for most of the ships as it has many rocks concealed below sea level. Rising tidal waves also contribute to the drowning of ships. From the year 1880 for next twenty years a 14 feet Dolphin facilitated number of ships from sinking by directing them to correct path without being knocked by the rocks and also by preventing from being trapped by hazardous whirlpools.

In that 6 mile long strait, whenever that Dolphin encounters a new vessel, it would jump, dive and welcome and would direct the ship to the correct way till the shore. Afterwards it would proceed to next ship. The ships which followed its way had never stumbled upon any accidents. If by chance it encounters more than a ship, it chooses to direct the most fast ship and then proceed to the next. Whenever the ship crew come across it, they would express their delightfulness to it.

In the year 1903, a sailor in a ship named S.S.Penguin fired a bullet on it. Fortunately it managed to escape. Then it disappeared for the next two weeks. It returned back and started its routine but it did not showed the correct path for S.S.Penguin, because of which the ship sunk and around 75 of the crew were dead.

In 1904, New Zealand government formulated a new law for protecting that Dolphin. If any citizen harms it, they will given severe punishment. No law in any country of the world had done like this in order to guard a single Dolphin. In this way the country expressed its loyalty for saving their vessels.

The Dolphin was named as Polaris Jack. It became popular worldwide for its nobility. Many movies were taken , verses were written on it and a chocolate company introduced their new product in the name of Polaris Jack. People worldwide visited the strait to meet Jack. This includes famous author Mark Twain and poet Rudyard Kipling. It had eyes that of a human eyes and when it dived it was like a silver object glittering in water.

At last Jack vanished in 1912 and nobody was able to see it again. An newspaper commented “If it was dead, then it is a great loss to this world, if it had been killed, the whole human race must feel ashamed of the act.”

Now do you understand why I told the intelligent creature is Dolphin. How humble it was to save people from dying in the rocks. Its disappearance is really a great loss to this world.
