How Cloning Works?

When scientists explain the practice of cloning livestock, they describe clones as genetic twins born at different times. Cloning companies say it is just another reproductive technology, such as artificial insemination.

Here is how cloning works:

Scientists take an immature egg, usually from a cow that went to the slaughterhouse, and remove the nucleus. They add DNA from a donor cow, often taken from the skin cell of an ear, and a tiny electric shock coaxes the egg to start dividing and grow into a copy of the original animal. The egg is then implanted into a surrogate animal for gestation and birth.

The first mammal cloned from an adult cell was Dolly the sheep in 1997. Dolly was euthanized in 2003 at the age of 6, well short of her normal lifespan, after developing a progressive lung disease.

In love and happy? Make it last

Apart from the obvious spot-on physical chemistry, what is it that helps two people stay in love forever? Here we take a straight lookSometimes all it takes to make the sizzle last in a relationship is following simple thumb rules. And yet these simple mantras of a happy love life elude us because we make love complicated by adding elements of insecurity, jealousy and expectations to it.

For those who think that sex is all that counts in keeping the flame alive, think again. Research has proved that in the long run, it is the respect that you develop for and receive from your partner that will impact the happiness-meter in your relationship. After all you are with this person 24/7 and this commitment may involve meeting his or her annoying relatives, visiting exhibitions or social dos that you may not feel very comfortable with, eating food that the other person may like or cook.

So, if you set aside the physical attraction, what other facts are there which can help one stay in love forever? Let’s start with the simpler rules

Don’t criticize: This is a trap that most relationships fall into. From a habit that you may find annoying in your partner to something inane like driving style, most relationships tend to turn into a boxing match. When one partner criticizes, the other is bound to respond with a well-matched jab. Instead try to focus on the good aspects- habits, concerns etc. Force yourself if you have to. And instead of direct personal attacks like- ‘the problem with you is….’ use subtler ways of getting your message across like, ‘let’s try to…’ Similarly don’t be judgmental about people and issues that your partner may care about. Remember falling in love is a ‘package deal’. The person’s relatives, hobbies, habits and quirks come with the person.

Don’t be indifferent and controlling: Sometimes without any intention of being rude, one tends to get into a habit of snapping at one’s partner. If you feel it’s more a result of comfort levels, think again. Every time you dismiss the question that you are asked, or reply with a ‘later, quiet’ etc, ask yourself what you would feel like if you got the same treatment. If this behavior is more typical of men, women too are given to a behavior trait that tends to make the relationship onerous and tiresome. The tendency to nag and be controlling can do limitless harm to a relationship because it tends to kill the spirit of love. It hampers communication and elicits defensive reactions in the partner. Try to find out why the need for control is that high and then channelise the energy into something more positive like a hobby or more involvement with kids.

Don’t cheat: Nothing can empty out the relationship of all feelings than cheating on one’s partner. It shows that you have no respect for the individual that he or she is, that you are taking the other person for granted and believe it or not but knowing that you are involved with someone you are cheating on will eventually make you feel terrible about yourself. You will always look at others as ‘more desirable’ and will never be able to feel content with your life. In short, the two of you will be miserable and the relationship will finally crumble away.

Be yourself: The fairy tale of a prince charming with an impeccable set of manners or a princess – a picture of mellowness and soft words is bound to degenerate into the quotidian image of a married couple. So it’s best not to put on a pretense.
That does not mean that you give up all semblance of civility. But yes, you need not go the extra mile to dress up everyday even if you hate doing it. If ‘speaking your mind’ is your thing, then its better that your partner knows the same. In all this don’t forget that being with someone you love also brings out the best in you. So if you feel something in you needs work, then certainly there is room for improvement and if you are lucky enough, your partner will help you to this extent.

Be communicative: Load up on hugs and ‘I love you’s’ and mean them. Nothing can be more reassuring than to have a doting partner. Make time to go for a movie or a play, dine out together once in a fortnight and don’t forget the compliments. You don’t need to be brimming with adoration all the time. Even taking time out to discuss the future, talk about the past, plan finances or a vacation might be enough to bring back the spark. The idea is to spend enough quality time together. If on the other hand you are glued to a book or a laptop, or make plans and then just inform your partner, you are way off the mark.

Be a positive person: How you feel about yourself will have an impact on your relationship. A negative, brooding personality will induce similar behavior patterns in the other person as well. Have a positive self image; be aware of your strengths without being boastful about them. Work on your weaknesses but also keep in mind that they are not such a big deal. Similarly accept the positive qualities in your partner and make small of the negative traits.

Lenovo readies an ultra-light notebook of its own

Lenovo ThinkPad X300 (Source: Gizmodo)

It seems quite convenient that just days after the launch of the MacBook Air that a new lightweight notebook from Lenovo finds itself leaked onto the web. We're not ones to sweep such items under the rug, so here's the skinny on Lenovo's latest and greatest.

According to Gizmodo, the Lenovo ThinkPad X300 uses a Merom-based 2.0GHz "Dual Core Hybrid LV" processor with a 12W thermal envelope. The hybrid nature of the processor could mean that it is related to the special processor that Apple worked with Intel to develop for the MacBook Air.

The ThinkPad X300 features a 13.3", 1440x900 LED backlit display, two DIMM slots for a maximum of 4GB of DDR2 memory, fingerprint reader, touchpad and trackpoint inputs, webcam, and a full-size keyboard.

When it comes to connectivity, Lenovo throws in everything but the kitchen sink. Physical connections include three USB 2.0 ports, three internal PCI-E slots and GbE. Lenovo covers the entire wireless spectrum with Bluetooth, 802.11n, Verizon EV-DO Rev A, Cingular HSDPA and WiMAX options.

Surprisingly, Lenovo lists just one internal storage option for the ThinkPad X300: a 64GB solid state disk (SSD). There is no mention of a HDD, but surely there will be one available, otherwise the X300 will start off as an extremely expensive notebook. For those looking for optical storage, Lenovo hasn't forgotten about you and they do in fact include a DVD burner onboard.

Most importantly, Lenovo managed to pack all of these features into a 12.5" x 9" x 0.73" - 0.92" frame that weighs 2.5 pounds. The 2.5 pound weight is likely calculated with a 3-cell battery. Lenovo lists an upper limit of 3.17 pounds which probably takes into account a 6-cell or 9-cell battery.

No Substitute for Hardwork

The most common Technology Management Jargon is Smart Work

But how many of us know what is smart work, we are well known for quality work, Gita quotes don't confuse, smart work requires clarity and clear process, hard work requires steps, smart work requires, innovative ideas and lot of thinking , do we have time...., Hard work requires energy, results of Hard work evident to public, result of Smart Work a self satisfactory score, people are confused by the term Smart Work, they feel they should not tax themselves too much.....

Smart Work: Management Defines it as is Hard Work in a well defined way....

Smart Work does not result in following things if we feel so we are wrong

Less Time, More Money, More Relaxation, More Energy Accumulation

Hard Work is not the following:
More Time, More Energy Drain, Less relaxation

It's an Ideal Mix

Practice and Preach
Preach and Perform
Perform and Show the Process Flow
Some people will blindly follow

When you teach people who follow you blindly, you will become their role model and whatever you do, will become their right action, because they don't know to differentiate between good and bad.

Now let me draw a line between GITA and Management

Hard Work quoted by GITA = Smart Work Quoted by Management

How ???

When the Hard Work has a clear Process, Procedures, People who preach this can do this, sets clear INPUT/OUTPUT level = Smart Work, where the work flow is defined, Time is well managed, Principles are sound, systems are perfect, work is executed and evaluated then, there is no substitute for Hard Work

Glass Bridge - Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is a much sought after tourist place, and one of the greatest natural wonders in the world. But few people know how high the place is. The description talks about the attraction, and there are pictures detailing the description. One interesting picture compares it with all the tallest buildings in the world.

There is a glass bridge that has been built, and it allows the viewers to walk over that and enjoy the experience of the canyon. The pictures cover the glass bridge from all angles and one can see how intimidating the height is. There is also a brief description about the tourist attraction, and details about the bridge.

The pictures and description are useful to those who have not visited the place, and also to those who are interested in geographical locations. They have been presented with an artistic feel with good strokes.

These pictures and information is also very important, as not too many people know much about the Grand Canyon before they visit the place. The height comparison is the most stunning aspect of this collection of pictures.

Glass Bridge will be suspended 4,000 feet above the Colorado River on the very edge of the Grand Canyon. On May 2005, the final test was conducted and the stucture passed engineering requirements by 400 percent, enabling it to withstand the weight of 71 fully loaded Boeing 747 airplanes (more that 71 million pounds).

The bridge will be able to sustain winds in excess of 100 miles per hour from 8 different directions, as well as an 8.0 magnitude earthquake within 50 miles. More than one million pounds of steel will go into the construction of the Grand Canyon sky walk.
