Interesting Facts about Mount Everest
Mount Everest is known by many different names; In Tibet it is well known as Chomolungma Or Qomolangma. The Chinese translated this as ShengmO Fcng whereas it is named as Deodungha in Darjeeling that means holy mountain....
Proteins and denaturation of proteins
Proteins are the polypeptides. They are the long chain polymer of alpha amino acids. Proteins undergo hydrolysis to give alpha amino acids. Proteins are present in muscles, skin, hair, and other tissue that make up the body's non body structure....

LG steps into the tablet game with the 3D-recording Optimus Pad.
LG Optimus Pad
Until this year's MWC, tablets came in two basic sizes: iPad-size (around ten inches) and "ultraportable" (around seven inches), a la Samsung Galaxy Tab and the still unreleased BlackBerry PlayBook). LG, however, has opted for something right in the middle, and so the screen on their new LG Optimus Pad is a comfortable 8.9-inch display, which LG reckon is perfectly balanced for watching movies and holding with one hand.
The design of the Optimus Pad is very familiar, with the standard black bezel surrounding the display. Beneath the glossy black shell lurks a dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM.
For those not familiar with what this device has to offer here is a quick recap of its specs, this 8.9inch device offers a 1280×768 display with WXGA resolution, runs on Android 3.0 Honeycomb, has both front and rear facing cameras-with the ability to shoot 3D video, runs super fast due to its 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor and packs a whopping 32GB of internal storage.

Apple ipods
The iPod was a portable media player first designed and marketed by Apple and launched on October 23, 2001. The product line-up currently consists of the hard drive-based the iPod Nano, iPod Classic, the touchscreen iPod Touch and the compact iPod Shuffle. The iPod Classic models store media on its internal hard drive, while all other models use flash memory.The iPods can also serve as external data storage devices like other digital music players. Storage capacity ranges from 2 GB for the iPod Shuffle to 160 GB for the iPod Classic. All of the models have been redesigned multiple times since their introduction. The most recent iPod redesigns were introduced on September 1, 2010.
The iTunes software by Apple can be used to transfer music to the devices from computers using certain versions of Microsoft Windows operating system and Apple Macintosh.There are several open source alternatives are available for the iPod to users who choose not to use iTunes or whose computers cannot run iTunes. iTunes and its alternatives can be used to transfer videos, games, contact information, photos, e-mail settings, Web bookmarks, and calendars to iPod models that support those features.
The iPod branding is used for the media player applications included with the iPhone and iPad; the iPhone version is essentially a combination of the Music and Videos apps on the iPod Touch therefore function as iPods, but they are generally treated as separate products.
The name iPod was proposed by Vinnie Chieco, a freelance copywriter, who was called by Apple to figure out how to introduce the new player to the public. A Space Odyssey and the phrase "Open the pod bay door, Hal!", which refers to the white EVA Pods of the Discovery One spaceship. Apple researched the trademark and found that it was already in use. Joseph N. Grasso of New Jersey had originally listed an "iPod" trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in July 2000 for Internet kiosks. The first iPod kiosks had been demonstrated to the public in New Jersey in March 1998, and commercial use began in January 2000, but had apparently been discontinued by 2001. The trademark was registered by the USPTO in November 2003, and Grasso assigned it to Apple Computer, Inc. in 2005.
All of the models have been redesigned multiple times since their introduction. The most recent iPod redesigns were introduced on September 1, 2010.

Motorcycle-The BikeA motorcycle is a two-wheeled,engine-powered,a single-track motor vehicle. Motorcycles vary considerably depending on the task as they are designed, such as navigating congested urban traffic,long distance travel,cruising, sport and racing, or off-road conditions.
They are one of the most common,most affordable forms of motorized transport in the world and,for most of the world's population.There are around 200 million motorcycles (including mopeds, motor scooters and other powered two and three-wheelers) used worldwide,or about 33 motorcycles per 1000 people.Most of the motorcycles,about 58%, are in the developing countries of Asia—Southern and Eastern Asia and the Asia Pacific countries, excluding Japan.But 33% of the cars (195 million) are concentrated only in the United States and Japan. As of 2002 data, India with an estimated 37 million motorcycles/mopeds was home to the largest number of motorized two wheelers in the world while China came a close second with 34 million motorcycles/mopeds.
Motorcycle is the engineering,manufacturing,and assembly of components and systems for a motorcycle that results in the performance,aesthetics and cost desired by the designer. The construction of motorcycles has standardized on a steel or aluminum frame, telescopic forks that folds the front wheel,and disc brakes. Some other body parts, designed for either aesthetic or performance reasons may be added. A petrol powered engine typically consisting of between one and four cylinders coupled to a manual five- or six-speed sequential transmission drives the swing arm-mounted rear wheel by a chain, drive shaft or belt.
The fuel economy varies greatly with engine displacement and riding style, ranging from a low of 29 mpg-US (8.1 L/100 km; 35 mpg-imp) reported by a Honda VTR1000F rider, to 107 mpg-US (2.20 L/100 km; 129 mpg-imp) reported for the Verucci Nitro 50 cc Scooter.But a specially designed Matzu Matsuzawa Honda XL125 achieved 470 mpg-US (0.50 L/100 km; 560 mpg-imp) "on real highways - in real conditions." Due to lower engine displacements (100 cc–200 cc), motorcycles in developing countries offer good fuel economy. In the Indian market, the second best selling company, Bajaj, offers two models with superior fuel economy: XCD 125 and Platina with 125 cc. The motorbikes with a company-claimed fuel economy of 256 mpg-US (0.919 L/100 km; 307 mpg-imp) and 261 mpg-US (0.901 L/100 km; 313 mpg-imp),respectively.
Electric motorcycles with Very high fuel economy are nearly silent, zero-emission electric motor-driven vehicles.Fuel cells and petroleum-electric hybrids are also under development to extend the range and improve performance of the electric motors where operating range and top speed suffer due to limitations of battery technology.

Acid Rain and its damages
Acid rain is a form of air pollution in which acids produced by electric utility plants and other sources fall to earth in distant regions. The acid rain causes widespread damage to the environment due to its corrosive nature. The main causes of acid rain is the production of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxides from the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, natural gas,oil, etc. These sulfur dioxides and nitrogen oxides react with water and other chemicals in the air to form sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and other pollutants which reach high into the atmosphere and eventually return to the ground by way of rain, snow or fog and as invisible "dry" forms.
Acid pollutants also occur as dry particles and gases, which may reach the ground without the help of water. When these "dry" acids are washed from ground surfaces by rain, they add to the acids in the rain itself to produce a still more corrosive solution. The combination of acid rain and dry acids is known as acid deposit
ion.The damage of acid rain has been widespread in eastern North America and throughout Europe, and i Japan, China, and Southeast Asia.the acid rain leaches nutrients from soils, slows the growth if trees, and makes lake uninhabitable for fish and other wildlife. In cities acid pollutants corrode almost everything they touch, accelerating natural wear and tear in structures such as buildings and statues. Acids combine with other chemicals to form urban smog, which attacks the lungs, causing illness and premature deaths.
