Oxford English Dictionary gives entry to new words
Learning spellings of the words and knowing the meaning of the same happens to be the most tedious job for all especially for the students. Remember the dictations we were forced to encounter in our school days.
Gosh! Vocabulary..Diction was always a nightmare for me. and nothing much have changed. Ok…let me tell you the words which will make your life worst…Ooooopssss sorry the best…just a tongue slip.
The first word in the list is Vuvuzela ….this is the same horn instrument which was the sound of FIFA 2010 World Cup in South Africa. And this word has been entered in the latest edition of Oxford English Dictionary published on Thursday.
Vuvuzela is one of more than 2,000 new words and phrases included in the dictionary for the first time. The other ones happen to be tweetup, (a meeting arranged through Twitter); cheeseball (lacking taste or style); and a turducken(a roast dish consisting of a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey).
Not only this even internet and financial crisis has also provided with certain words which are influencing the current language. These words include: Paywall (which restricts website access only to subscribers), microblogging (posting short entries on a blog), netbook, viral anddefriend have all arrived in our language because of the internet.
What??? You did not like it. Don’t worry soon you will become habitual of these words. And yeah if now your computer shows you the annoying red line every time you type these words then I’m sure you know what you have to do. Just use the right click of your mouse use the Oxford way and ‘Add to Dictionary’.

Phone calls might be allowed from Gmail: GOOGLE
Who does not know about Google or Gmail?? Who does not have an account with Gmail?? I am sure everyone is well aware and definitely owns at least one account on Gmail. Isn't it? So any surprises or shocks that come your way by google make you happy and sad respectively.
Oh! No... Don't worry because this time happy news is following your gateway. Can you guess what it could be?? Yes, Google is coming up with an increment in your convenience. Google might allow making of phone calls from Gmail. Doesn't it sound damn exciting??
As we all know that Gmail serves as a control panel and an always-open tab, for the loyal Google user. It provides us with quick and simple access to our email, contacts, calendar, documents, chat and many more. But now very soon, it may add as a home to a Web-based telephony client. WOW! That's amazing. Isn't it?
As per the reports of CNET, Google has begun testing a Gmail-integrated VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol) client that would allow users to make phone calls directly from the browser.
For the users who are analyzing the test of this new product a symbol is added directly to the Google Talk popup that appears in the lower right corner of the Gmail screen, offering a keypad, a call history, and a credit balance.
According to the screenshots from CNET, Google will offer free calls within the U.S. and Canada, with cheap international calling, in 2010.
However, the characteristics of this system is distinct from the voice and video chat that is already available from Gmail using the chat feature, in that it isn't solely between chat users. Instead, the new feature looks to allow users to call any type of phone directly from their Web browser.
Well... this really would be a great new addition by Google which would please its users a lot!!

Now electricity would be generated by air
I guess scientists are looking forward to make life easier for one and all. As at present we all fear the end of resources that make our life comfortable, researches are being made to invent more sources which can act as a substitute to them.
Moving on with this aim, the next target happens to be electricity, you must have studied that electricity is produced from water current and of course I don’t need to tell you that the whole world sees WATER as the major issue for the survival of living beings as we are getting away with all the major water resources.
But you would really be glad to know that electricity collected from the air could become the newest alternative energy source. They have termed it as Hydroelectricity, sounds similar to Hydroelectricity, isn’t it??? Yes friends…scientists have solved the 200 year old puzzle as to how the moisture in the atmosphere gets electrically charged.
This sound quite cool….and it shows we may even get ourselves free from the heavy electricity bills. Researcher Galembeck said, "If we know how electricity builds up and spreads in the atmosphere, we can also prevent death and damage caused by lightning strikes.”
He further said that until now, scientists lacked the proper knowledge about the processes involved in formation and release of electricity from water in the atmosphere. He and his colleagues present at the University of Campinas in Brazil are finding ways to explore this study. They are conducting experiments to make use of this new technique of producing electricity naturally which will lead to a great contribution in solving the problem of electricity and to some extent water as well.
Lets wish them good luck so that they can accomplish the mission and to the rest of all I would say that everything on earth cannot have a substitute so it would be good if we start valuing and preserving the resources.

Venus & Moon to get closer on September 11, 2010
On September 11, 2010, when whole India would be dipped in the colors of Ganesh Chaturthi, calling the deity ‘Ganpati Bappa Morya’ loaded with fun and enjoyment; there would be a natural magic taking place in the universe.
A lunar eclipse will be visible in the sky from the Southern Hemisphere where The Moon would travel very close to Venus planet. The Mars planet would also be closer to the two that is The Moon and The Venus Planet.
This scientific scene would be visible in Bangalore along with some other countries. The Moon and The Venus planet would come closer in Bangalore around eight in the evening but their closeness will be easy to view immediately after the sunset. On that day, the sun will set around 6:22 pm in Bangalore.
As the darkness would increase mars would also be visible nearby both of them. These three will be seeable in a linear position and according to a professor of scientific research institute in Bangalore, The Moon will be at the bottom, then Venus will be above the moon and Mars would be above Venus.
Last time, this incident took place on 16th May, 2010. Other countries that would be clearly able to view this in Southern Hemisphere are Brazil, Pacific Ocean & South Africa.
This lunar eclipse would lasts for 86 minutes. First of all, this scientific scene would be witnessed in Brazil and in the end on Western axis of Australia.
Personally speaking things like that makes no sense to me but still I find them fascinating and of course it’s interesting to see people’s reaction to it… will be eagerly waiting for this 9/11 attack on superstitious race of homo sapiens...

China spreading its wings in Indian Ocean
Obama administration is quite troubled with the increasing military powers of China and its growing influence in the strategically crucial Indian Ocean. The reason behind why China is inclining towards Indian Ocean is that it is serving as an important path for China’s economic growth.
So that is the reason China is seeking friendly ties with all the neighboring countries of India so that no one objects its control over Indian Ocean. Must say Chinese authorities are really cleaver.
And of course when China is heading forward in such a speed it is obvious for the US to get a bit insecure, and they don’t want to fall behind in the Indian Ocean. At present the world power is facing fear of insecurity from rising countries like India and China.
But as India has already entered a friendly tie with the US through the nuclear deal, it is now more concerned with China’s growth. China imported more than 50 per cent of its oil consumption for the first time in the year 2010 and this became possible only because of China’s access to the sea routes of Indian Ocean.
Well friends the twist in the story is, as US fears the rising China, similarly China is concerned about India, not only because of the growth taking place in India but also for the China's oil lifeline. India is already strengthening its Navy powers, and this is the main reason what makes the Chinese fear about the loss they might have to face in their rising market.
On one hand US is seeking a partnership from India as they know China too fears the powers of India while on the other hand Chinese officials too want to keep friendly terms with India.
It would really be interesting to see how India is going to deal with the situations. But one thing that we can be sure of is that if India tries a bit it can certainly lead all other nations and can become the Superpower.
