You cannot compare any love to your first love, because when you loved, you loved with innocence and you risked without fear. Because you didn't know what fear was, the thought of heartache was lacking in your daily. When you first loved, you loved purely, without doubt and hesitation. You loved, uneducated and unaware. You loved without knowing what love was. And it would be awfully unfair to compare any love to your first love, because from then and always on, you will search for that familiar voice in static, emotion in white noise, and magic in reality. And reality is, you'll always have that void and it won't ever be filled because it's there and it exists from experience. And it won't be until you realize that, do you finally understand that falling in love again is and could be far greater because you are so lucky if love find you again, even if it has to force itself into the little crevice you try to fill with needless other unnecessary things. Because this time, you are aware, educated and knowing. Because if you really do ever fall in love again, you can differentiate between real and lust, and if it is real, you better know how to love and what is to be loved.

RollTop Technology
Its so boring to handle
the heavy laptops…from one place to another with quite difficulty. But with the rising era the Germany's Orkin Design proposes
rolling up both devices into one ultra-portable package.
Introduction:
Let us
get introduced with the new latest technology which is ROLLTOP TECHNOLOGY. Notebooks and tablets
already offer pretty convenient computing on-the-go solutions. The Rolltop concept will take advantage of
advances in flexible OLED and touchscreen technologies to create a
cylinder-shaped laptop computer that can be rolled out to form a notebook, a
tablet, or display monitor. Besides leading to an extreme the concept of portable computer, the rolltop succeded in
reuniting two of the largest consumer dreams of geek on calls: netbooks ,
objects of desire of any user who want to stay connected and up to date with
new technology and tablets, even more famous after rumors of the launch of
Apple Tablet.
Rather than carry
around a notebook in a laptop bag, full to the brim with all manner of cables,
the Rolltop concept proposes bringing everything together in a flat panel
display that's wrapped around a central cylinder. The top of the column
detaches and acts as a power plug while the carry strap doubles as a power cord
(presumably some sort of battery technology is also included, although this has
not been mentioned). The central column also contains speakers, a camera, USB
ports, and a LAN port.
The main goal of this
technology is to combine the laptop, monitor and the graphic tablet into
one gadget and avoid additional
accessories. The Rolltop does not have a CD/DVD reader or floppy disc because
they are obsolete.
After unlocking the
catch, the user would roll out the Rolltop display like a mat and then either
leave it flat for 17-inch tablet computing, or raise one end up for something
resembling a notebook. The lower part of the screen is then used for keying on
a virtual, onscreen keyboard while the upper part becomes a 13-inch display for
viewing content. A pull-out support at the back also allows the flattened
device to be used as a monitor-like display, and a stylus pen has been
incorporated into the body of the panel. To close the package dream of
consumption, it also lets us to view videos, or photos like a portable
television. The screen has a support on the back. With this you can leave it
up, and watch a movie while waiting for the email from your boss.
When rolled up, Rolltop
will be 11 inches (28 cm) long and have a 3.26-inch (8.3-cm) diameter – and
that's about all we can tell you. As it's a concept designed to be built in the
future, some of the technology kinks are still being worked on, but Orkin has
stated its intention to see this design through to an actual, real-world
product. There are, of course, quite a number of technical hurdles to overcome
before that happens and unfortunately the designers do little to shed light on
how such difficulties will be dealt with, leaving us to speculate.
Future
scope:
It requires no great
stretch of the imagination to visualize the various technologies already used
in dual-screen notebooks, all-in-one computers and cutting edge tablets being
incorporated into the Rolltop. However, details on how the internal components
like processors, memory, storage and graphics cards will be dealt with have not
been forthcoming, so it looks like we're just going to have to wait until there
is more substance to this project .So we can say that the Rolltop technology is
a great boon to the present as well as the coming generation and may be in
future it the recent developments in bendy screen technology might also make
this device a current possibility.
Smart Grid Technology - Today's challenge
The power grid today:
The North American power grid has been described as the “supreme engineering achievement of the 20th century”. It is a vast electricity delivery infrastructure comprising transmission and distribution networks spanning the continental United States, connecting electricity generation to the consumers of electric power. The grid contains over 200,000 miles of high-voltage (over 230 kV) transmission lines and more than 6 million miles of distribution lines that deliver power to over 100 million customers and 283 million people.
However, the power grid today is aging, congested and increasingly seen as incapable of meeting the future energy needs of an Information Economy. As businesses have become dependent on electronic devices for information exchange and commerce, the use of electricity as an energy source has grown relative to fuels, currently representing 40% of overall energy consumption in the US. The importance of electricity as a driver of economic growth can be gauged from the fact that electricity sales trend with the growth of the GDP more closely than other energy sources, as shown in the following graphic. Assembled over the last century, the power grid was not designed to support the extensive coordination of generation, transmission and distribution that is called for today and it faces stresses and challenges that are creating drivers for the modernization and restructuring of the grid to accommodate the needs and requirements of a 21st century economy.

Assembled over the last century, the power grid was not designed to support the extensive coordination of generation, transmission and distribution that is called for today and it faces stresses and challenges that are creating drivers for the modernization and restructuring of the grid to accommodate the needs and requirements of a 21st century economy.
Drivers for modernization of the power grid:
New challenges and drivers: The grid faces new challenges and stresses that will put at risk its ability to reliably deliver power to an economy that is increasingly dependent on electricity:
-- Growth in demand:
Peak demand is forecasted to grow by 18% over the next 10 years, driven by economic growth and the evolution towards an Information Economy. Electricity’s growing importance as a source of energy supply to the economy is reflected in the fact that over 40% of energy consumption in the US is used to produce electricity, up from 10% in 1940 and 25% in 1970.
-- Constraints on capacity expansion:
Simultaneously, generation capacity is forecasted to hit critical reserve limits within the next 10 years for most of the US and new transmission and generation projects are not expected to be completed in time to avoid hitting capacity issues.
-- Shifts in generation sources:
The shift towards newer renewable and distributed energy generation sources such as wind and solar that can be variable and located far from demand present new challenges of control and coordination for the power grid. Co-generation from non-traditional sources will be mandated in some places requiring two-way control and monitoring at non-utility owned facilities.
-- Transmission congestion:
Investments in the transmission infrastructure have not kept pace with the growth in demand, resulting in heavier utilization, frequent congestion, increased transmission losses and increased risk of catastrophic failures. Costs of building transmission lines and obtaining rights-of-way have increased dramatically and construction timelines will continue to increase.
-- Distribution:
Increased use of information technologies, computers and consumer electronics by customers has resulted in lowered tolerances to outages and power quality disturbances. A growing interest in distributed generation and electric storage devices at the edge is adding new requirements for interconnection and safe operation of electric distribution systems. Emerging trends such as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) promise to put still more stress on the already-strained generation, transmission and distribution systems.
-- Demand management:
Utilities see an increasing need for demand management as a way to improve operating costs, enhance reliability and to potentially defer construction of generation and transmission capacity. The need to regulate and control the demand side through demand response and time-based rates — both of which require two-way communications capabilities down to the individual meter — adds another layer of complexity to the grid.
-- Regulatory policy:
Federal governments and many states are passing energy efficiency mandates and PUCs are enabling utilities to recover investments in upgrading the grid infrastructure and implementing measures such as demand response.
-- Environmental impact:
Electric power generation accounts for approximately 25% of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions and new carbon regulations will have a major impact on the industry. Building new transmission lines will encounter stricter environmental impact requirements than ever before.
The vision of a smart grid:
A growing recognition of the need to modernize the grid to meet tomorrow’s challenges has found articulation in the vision of a smart grid. Multiple industry and research groups have created architectural blueprints for the evolution of today’s power grid into a smart grid that share several common features.
The smart grid, as it is conceived today, will offer several benefits to utilities and consumers:
Simultaneously, generation capacity is forecasted to hit critical reserve limits within the next 10 years for most of the US and new transmission and generation projects are not expected to be completed in time to avoid hitting capacity issues.

A growing recognition of the need to modernize the grid to meet tomorrow’s challenges has found articulation in the vision of a smart grid. Multiple industry and research groups have created architectural blueprints for the evolution of today’s power grid into a smart grid that share several common features.
The smart grid, as it is conceived today, will offer several benefits to utilities and consumers:
—It will provide utilities the ability to monitor and manage their power delivery down to the home or business in real time
—Utilities can offer multiple rate structures to manage demand peaks and offer demand management services to encourage efficiency
—It will allow utilities to manage outages more effectively by reducing their occurrence through better monitoring and control of the grid and by reducing the impact of outages through more efficient and early problem isolation, using techniques such as automatic load-shedding and islanding as well as faster recovery procedures. Power outages are estimated to impose an economic cost of upwards of $100 billion every year and, in an increasingly interconnected Information Economy, it is imperative to reduce the frequency and the impacts of outages as well as of disturbances in power quality.
—It will allow utilities to delay the construction of new plants and transmission lines and better manage their carbon output through implementing measures such as demand response and time-based rates to more actively manage load.
—It will allow utilities to provide real-time information to their customers and to utility workers in the field, resulting in operational efficiencies and more reliable service.
—It will allow utilities to more proactively manage the integration of clean energy technologies into the grid to maximize their environmental benefits and operational value.
The smart grid is envisioned to offer these benefits by enabling and enhancing a broad range of utility applications, including Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), outage management, demand management, distribution automation, substation security and mobile workforce connectivity.
From a technological perspective, the essence of the smart grid vision is “the digital control of the power delivery network and two-way communication with customers and market participants” through the realization of “a fully-automated power delivery network that can ensure a two-way flow of electricity and information between the power plants and appliances and all points in between.”9 The central idea behind the smart grid vision is that information technology can revolutionize the generation and delivery of electricity just as it has transformed other aspects of business. It is an ambitious but attainable vision that comprises distributed intelligence, broadband communications and automated control systems – building on commercially-proven technologies that exist today.
-- Distributed intelligence:
This builds on advanced sensors with processing and communications capabilities built into every element of the grid (switches, transformers, substations, distribution lines, etc.) as well as advanced metering endpoints and smart appliances in the home. The distributed intelligence will enable real-time monitoring, coordination and control. For example, advanced meters with wide-area wireless communications capabilities can report back interval data to a meter data management system several times a day, allowing for real-time demand response coordination. Advanced sensors can be used to monitor the health of the grid in real-time and respond (perhaps autonomously, without central coordination) to avert system-wide failures and outages.
--Broadband communications:
A broadband communications infrastructure is key to enabling comprehensive system-wide monitoring and coordination to enable applications as diverse as distribution automation, demand response, outage management and power quality monitoring. These applications include requirements for low latency, high bandwidth and QoS prioritization that require a broadband network. The communications infrastructure would tie together the meter end-points, the utility mobile workforce, advanced sensors and control centers into a single integrated network. SCADA systems employed today do not sense or control nearly enough of the components of the grid and there is a need for reliable, up-to-date information to feed state estimation, contingency analysis and other procedures. Furthermore, the communications links in use today are proprietary (non-standard) and slow (high latency, low capacity). However, standards-based technologies exist today to enable multiple low-latency high-data-rate, two-way communications links among all the nodes in the network, extending from the control centers down to the substations and all the way down to individual meters.
--Automated control systems:
The third major element consists of centralized software tools and algorithms for self-re configuring and adapting the grid, executing protocols for demand response and automatic load-shedding, and promoting better coordination within and between utilities.

Our Happiness lies in the Happiness of other People...:) :)
Once a group of 500 people were attending a seminar. Suddenly the speaker stopped and decided to do a group activity. He started giving each person a balloon. Each person was then asked to write their name on it using a marker pen. Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.
The people were then let into that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name written on it within 5 minutes. Everyone was frantically searching for their name, colliding with each other, pushing around others and there was utter chaos.
At the end of 5 minutes no one could find their own balloon. Then, the speaker asked each person to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it. Within minutes everyone had their own balloon.
The speaker then began, "This is happening in our lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is.
Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness; you will get your own happiness. And this is the purpose of human life...the pursuit happiness."
Fight Against CANCER…!!!
As we are used
to the very old quotation that “ Health Is Wealth” but do we really follow it.
We human beings are quite busy with our lifestyle , we have no time to pay
attention over our health. Two of the
topics are always tend to be most interested in theses modern days are “Health”
and “wealth” and for appropriate reason, of course, as health and wealth are
two of the most crucial aspect to acquiring a highly delightful life. However,
one thing, which quite a few people actually feel, is just how exactly “health”
correlates with “wealth”; when you are healthy, you will certainly get a much
time to attain greater wealth also.
Fine health and
fitness is really a great asset. It is the genuine treasure of existence,
essentially the most valuable thing of person. In case a person loss his health
and fitness, the entire world failures all of its charms for him. The
unawareness towards health leads to various diseases.
Now in the
present scenario, among the various diseases
the gigantic name CANCER has become a very common disease. Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by
out-of-control cell growth. There are over 100 different types of cancer, and
each is classified by the type of cell that is initially affected.
Causes:
Cancer harms the
body when damaged cells divide uncontrollably to form lumps or masses of tissue
called tumors (except in the case of leukemia where cancer prohibits normal
blood function by abnormal cell division in the blood stream). Tumors that stay
in one spot and demonstrate limited growth are generally considered to be
benign. scientists reported in Nature
Communications (October 2012 issue) that they have discovered an important clue
as to why cancer cells spread. Certain
molecular interactions between cells and the scaffolding that holds them in
place (extracellular matrix) cause them to become unstuck at the original tumor
site, they become dislodged, move on and then reattach themselves at a new
site. The researchers say this discovery is
important because cancer mortality is mainly due to metastatic tumors, those
that grow from cells that have traveled from their original site to another
part of the body. Only 10% of cancer deaths are caused by the primary tumors. Cancer
is ultimately the result of cells that uncontrollably grow and do not die.
Normal cells in the body follow an orderly path of growth, division, and death.
Programmed cell death is called apoptosis, and when this process breaks down,
cancer begins to form. Unlike regular cells, cancer cells do not experience
programmatic death and instead continue to grow and divide. This leads to a
mass of abnormal cells that grows out of control.
Solutions:
There are many
ways to minimise the risk of cancer. First of all we should be be as lean as
possible without being underweight, physically activeness is required in everyday
life, consumption of food and drink high in fat, sugar and calories should be
limited, eating
of processed meats and limit red meat
should be limited, alcohol consumption should be avoided, cancer survivors
should get specialist nutritional advice.
So an effective
wealth of health can be acquired in many means. It requires routine workouts,
very good foodstuff, excellent thought processes, and hygiene. Hence, it is,
apparent that overall health is a lot like an excellent cherish and yes it
should be protected jealously. You have to go ahead and take ideal proper care
of our systems. Just because happiness of life is rely on wholesome body.
Critically challenge with the machine of your entire body means death-an end to
life itself. A person who owns sound health should indeed be an incredibly
wealthy person.
What Technology Speaks…!!
From Issac Newton to Albert Einstein ,Michael faraday to John Dalton and many more names related to past, present and future of world science…. From all these names we have learned only one thing that “ Try and Try hard until you succeed in your goals….”
Collaboration of science with the developing human minds has always resulted in bringing a new technology with improved efficiency and better functionality. Pretty soon we'll have robots in our society, you're going to have a lot of automated processes that used to be done by people - this is happening. Society and technology is changing so fast, and the impact of the change on society and technology is global, not local.
All this technology, all the computer games and the iPhones... nobody will sit for art anymore. What a dismaying state of humanity.
Hence we the young scientists surely have a special responsibilities on our shoulders. It is our idea that form the basis of new technology. We should not be indifferent to the fruits of our ideas. We should forgo experiments that are risky or unethical and do a better job to make a better world…!!
