Top 10 Different types of Marriages

The concept of marriage is not a recent practice. It has been there in our society since ages. In fact we are here because our parents got married to each other. Marriage also known as matrimony is the socially recognized union between two individuals. It is a kind of relationship involving mutual rights and duties where two people are socially approved to establish a family. Hence it is a universally accepted social institution. Now we shall look forward to its broader concept. The types of marriages practiced all around the globe can be varied. Different societies believe in different kind of religious practices for the social recognition of a relationship.

Some might also seem weird to us, but they are legalized in their countries, and people practice it with complete freedom and liberty. No matter what, its main essence remains the same.

The United States of America has something to offer to everyone who steps foot on its land. It is an ultra-modern state and is technologically super-advanced. Most of the things that require rigorous hours of manual work in many other countries are done here in a click of a button. Life is easy, sure. But is life safe? In spite of all its technological advancements The United States of America was not even in the list of top 10 safest countries in the world. With a consistent rise in the number of crimes ranging from school shoot-outs to day-light murders, the country is soon becoming unsafe for people.

THE COST MAY BE SKY HIGH, BUT YOU ARE SAFE
Health industry is flourishing from the results of research and other advancement in its research. Few years back it was not imaginable that robotics through its artificial intelligence will be able to undertake intricate operations and save so many lives. Diagnostic equipment has been developed for the doctors to do their job more precisely. It has resulted in manifold increase in the earnings of pharmaceutical companies. It has also given human beings to take care of the well being of themselves and their near and dear ones. All drugs and other things used for treatment of illnesses, after years of research, are expensive. It may take the lifetime’s savings of an individual to undertake the treatment, and that will put them in dire straits- economically. Insurance companies offer the cover for such eventualities. People facing the risk of health hazard pay a premium which is absolutely peanuts when covered to the risk covered. This is paid for a year....

Everything we know about Moles and can they be Dangerous?

For all the chemistry freaks out there, this is not a chemistry lecture over moles of a substance but this is an article about the myths, the facts and everything else that we know about something that we all have seen and we all have it, the moles on our skin. Moles, also known as melanocytic nevus or Nevocytic nevus are a type of skin lesion found very commonly in all human beings and animals. They can grow anywhere on our skin and mostly surface over the skin before a person crosses twenty. These generally appear black or brown in colour and are basically an accumulation of the pigment melanin, that provides colour to our body, at a specific region forming a spot. Here is everything that we know about moles and whether they can be dangerous? Let’s find out.
10. These are formed due to pigment-melanin
these are formed due to melanin
Melanin is a pigment made by special type of cells in our body which are called as melanocytes. This melanin is responsible for providing our body with its colour and complexion. Higher the concentration of melanin, darker is the colour of the skin. Usually, these melanocytes spread throughout our skin providing it a uniform complexion but when these start growing in clusters, moles show up on the skin. This can happen due to UV radiations coming from sun, hormonal changes during pregnancy and diabetics, or your genes might be responsible for it. Moles can be present as a single one or can form a group over one location.....

Top 10 Simple Tips to Improve your Handwriting

Have you ever scored low in a test despite that perfect answer just because the teacher found someone else’s handwriting more ‘legible’? Have you ever gaped and wondered at a friend’s beautifully crafted angelic alphabets? Ever looked and frowned at your notes, trying to recognize the indistinguishable ‘m’ and ‘n’? Well, let’s admit as kids almost each one of us has had the woes of poor handwriting. We have been told innumerable times about (even been scolded and rebuked for) our careless and shabby writing!
The advent of computers and laptops may have revolutionized the world and completely overthrown the ‘handwritten’ documentation in the professional arena, yet, there is no doubt to the fact that our handwriting is the reflection of our personality. People with good handwriting are able to project self-confidence, diligence and dexterity onto the paper.
We cannot substitute the beauty of a handwritten letter with the printed alphabet and so, for anyone who has always wanted to have that beautiful and legible scribble, here are ten, simple yet powerful ways to equip you with a legible hand – 10 easy ways to improve and flaunt a beautiful handwriting!
 10. KEEP IT COMFORTABLE
keep it comfortable
The first step is to be comfortable. Do not put a lot of force on the paper while writing. A beautiful letter and a smooth writing should come with ease. Let smoothness flow through the ink otherwise either the pencil tip will break too often or sheet will be full of ink smudges. Hold the pen/pencil where it feels comfortable. Ideally, it should not be held too close to the tip or too far from it either.
Don’t move your hand too much or you will soon be tired. Position your hand on the paper and then let your arm move,you don’t have to craft and draw every alphabet, you just need to form them. That would need much of a wrist or hand movement but basically an arm’s motion....

Top 10 Worst Floods of all Time

Human being has been going through several tough situations since his existence. All these tough situations make man ‘tough’ and make him successful in life. ‘The stronger and mightier will survive’. This statement is true even in case of the man. Nature eliminates the ‘less strong’ as per the ‘Survival of the fittest’ policy. One such ‘tough situation’ that a man faces in life are natural calamities. Natural calamities are one such test that ‘God’ puts us through to decide we are ‘strong’ enough to survive. It also is a wake up call for the mankind that ‘The Judgement Day’ is near and its time we change our ‘habits’. One such deadly calamity is floods. Overflowing of a large amount of water beyond its normal confines (over dry land) is said to be a flood. Floods cause irreparable and immense losses. Technology advancements have lead to the discovery of Cyclone warning systems and have also improved disaster management techniques. But, even then floods occur because they happen with ‘God’s will’. Listed below are the Top 10 Worst Floods of all time:
10. North Sea Flood, Netherlands – 1212
10
This flood started off in June, 1212 in Netherlands (Now Holland) and it ended after 6 months (including relocation and cleanup activities). It started off with a slight drizzle and ended up creating havoc. It took about 60,000 lives along with it. It caused irreparable loss to life and property. It even affected the far off English Coast.  People were dislocated, buildings collapsed, roads got uprooted and property being carried away by the flood water. The citizens of Netherlands had lost faith on life after this debacle. Faith had to re-entrusted, the cities had to be rebuilt after this incident. This process took more than 2 years to happen. Even today, 1212 North Sea floods’ name brings in a tremor in the people’s mind. The technology available then wasn’t enough to give ‘Cyclone warnings’, to go about with fast rescue operations. If the technology were there, several thousands of lives could have been saved....

All of us have lots of ups and downs in our life and everybody face problems. Though thinking positive and having a constructive outlook is very difficult when we are going through harsh times, but espousing it will provide us with countless benefits. Positive thinking is basically that feeling which tells us that all is going to turn out well in the end.

Positive thinking is the key to motivation. Whenever we are in a state when we think that we will not be able to complete the task assigned to us, then if at that moment we think positive, then it will motivate us to try and try again until we succeed. Positive thinking provides an inner motivation which is way too helpful in completing the work. This motivation is a lot much encouraging than all the other motivations that other people gives us. Unless and until, we ourselves do not want to try the task again, any inspirational speech given by different people will not work. Positive thinking has that power to inspire us from within, to get the assigned task done.....

Top 10 Poorest Countries in the World 2013

We do not inherit Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children. The Earth is a home for 204 countries, 809 islands and 7 seas yet the Earth has not equally distributed its resources all over the world. With highly developed countries to highly poor countries; the Earth breeds all! With some countries having a high standard of living, some other countries do not have the basic necessities of life. With very little degree of variations, the suffering of millions of people is quite common and inevitable. With poverty stricken, Malnutrition, diseases, scarcity of food, the world has been a devastating place for hundreds of thousands of underprivileged people who literally have no standard of living.
Here is a list of the top 10 poorest countries in the world (2013) which reflects how the world still needs to implement a good deal of ideas and resources to the underprivileged countries and wipe off the poverty from the face of Earth.
10. Togo
Burundi
Togolese Republic is located on the West Africa; a Sub-Saharan country which is highly dependent on agriculture with a climate that provides good growing seasons. Unfortunately, it is one of the poorest countries in the world. Unavailability of basic health facilities, natural resources and scarcity of food, the Togolese people face the crisis of a famine all throughout the year. The problems have no end and the solutions are at far end. Home to 6.7 million people, the country remains helpless and clueless of its present state. Also known as a ‘The Slave Coast’, the country has a GDP per capita of $830 which leaves it as one of the poorest countries in the world....

Top 10 Most Common Medicines in the World

The 10 most prescribed medicines worldwide aren’t those on which we spend the most. The medicines on which we spend all the money are very new to be protected against generic medicines for example from 131.2 million prescriptions for Hydrocodone as a pain killer to 94.1 million approvals for statins worldwide for lowering cholesterol. We only choose to be a part of this medicated world rather than looking for various other substitutes available. In this busy life we hardly take any pain of spending an extra hour on our health. Instead of being pro active and being responsible we are dependent on allopathic model i.e. quick fix all the health problems. Every year 4 billion prescriptions are written, and minor mistakes in medical prescription are causing death. Most prominent among all are accidental deaths by painkillers. Let us all together make a commitment and start looking for substitutes. From incorporating rich foods into the diet which causes no side effects to regular exercise.

Top 10 World’s Biggest Financial Crises Ever

A financial crisis is said to occur when an asset loses a large part of its face value. This can lead to a wide range of adverse consequences such as a fall in output or stagnancy, currency crashes and worse, sovereign defaults. Such notable crises have been occurring since 4th century BCE (Dionysus of Syracuse) and have continued on different scales and levels. They have far reaching effects into the very roots of the economy. The causes of the crises can be manifold, and they have evolved as man as discovered means to propel society to higher levels of development.
Our world is now very inter-connected through currency markets, trade relations and capital flows. The advent of multinational corporations has also added to these inter-linkages. Thus, crises that may occur in one country can often get transmitted to another like a bad case of financial influenza driven by fears and speculation. In view of the various crises that have occurred in the world over time, i present a list of 10 notable ones in terms of the transforming effects they had on a wide scale:
10.Black Monday
Black-Monday
In the finance world, The Black Monday refers to the time of October 19, 1987. During that day, there was a widespread stock market crash all around the world. The beginning of this crash originated in Honk Kong and eventually spread to Europe. Ultimately, the United States was affected as well. The Dow Jones dropped by 22.1%, and it took almost 2 years to reach even the previous high of 1987. This recovery occurred despite fears that the crash would spell economic gloom like the 1930s. Many explanations exist for this sudden crash, but none is conclusive. Program trading is one popular theory. It is said that the level of computerization of stock trading had gone up during the 1970s. As a result, computers often performed arbitrage based on external prices. Thus when prices of stock fell, they rapidly sold more and more, thereby worsening the crash. However, this has been contested because of the origin of the crises being in Honk Kong, whereas program trading was more prevalent in USA and also due to the level it spread across the globe. Institutional rigidity and market psychology have been cited as other causes.....

Top 10 Common Plants Found in Deserts

Nothing more than a sandy and dry region devoid of heavy rainfall and less flora and fauna with hot and humid climate is what everybody pictures on their mind when they come across the term ‘Desert’. Low precipitation and high evaporation marks the environment of a desert. On the contrary, deserts act as an abode to many plants and animals. In fact, they are ranked the second to tropical rainforests in the variety of plants and animals living there. Plants find it difficult living and sustaining themselves in such an arid region, and it poses as a challenge to their survival. But as we know, every living species, let alone plants, adjust themselves to the required habitat. Similarly, desert plants have adopted and developed certain mechanisms of storing in water for their survival in the desert. With so much heat during the day hours, opening up of stomata to let in carbon dioxide necessary for the process causes evapotranspiration and so conserving water becomes an essential priority. In order to do so, desert plants adopt any one of the two methods- ability to collect and store water and contain features that reduce water loss. Some plants have the ability to store in water in their roots, stems, leaves or fruit. These kinds of plants are known as succulents and cactus is regarded to be one of them. While some other plants have developed a speciality that allows their long roots to penetrate deep inside the ground in search of underground water. There are perennials (plants which live for years) which survive in the desert by being dormant during the dry periods and come out to life only when water is available. While another type, called the annual, germinate after a heavy downpour and quickly complete their reproductive cycle. Owing to the climatic difference in each desert all over the world, the kinds of plant found vary in some way or the other. Nevertheless, most of the plants mentioned below fall under the common three categories- cacti, wildflowers and trees, shrubs or herb. Take a look at them.
10. Elephant Tree-
elephant tree
Elephant tree, commonly known as the Bursera Microphylla, is found in the Anza-Borrego Desert Park region of the United States. It grows mainly on the rocky slopes of desert mountains into a sculptural form with thick water-storing trunk. This tree is native to Mexico, Baja California, Sonora and Zacatecas. They are basically small trees, very short and stout with tapering trunks and branches that resembles the legs and trunks of an elephant and hence got its name. They are semi-succulent with alternate leaves and are mostly once-pinnate or twice-pinnate. The fruit it bears is a drupe and contains a yellow stone. Sceptics refuse to acknowledge the existence of elephant trees until 1937 because of its rare growth and poor distribution....

Top 10 Myths about Islam and Muslim Religion

Let us begin with a very basic question. What is Islam all about? What does it preach? Islam means Muslims. That is all our understanding is confined to. Isn’t it? Well actually it signifies ‘submission to god’ and not brutality and violence. No deny it is a widely misunderstood religion in the world. There are several preconceived notions and prejudices that exist with this religion and most of such notions dwell in our minds as well. I personally know people who have a very negative stereotyped perception about Islam. Ever since it has come up on the world stage we have been insulting or slandering it under some or the other name, be it violence, conservatism or something else. But the real picture is very different from the one which we, our biased media and our political leaders have portrayed. There is an underlying racism driving this issue of religious discrimination. We all have Muslim friends in our schools, colleges, workplaces and even in our neighborhoods. Are they all terrorists and barbaric people? No, had it been so we wouldn’t be staying together in one community. But our so called ‘modernized’ world needs to understand this at a global level. Hence here we have ten popular disbeliefs that we commonly believe about Islam.
India - Religion - Islam - Ramadan -  Eid al-Fitr
10. MUSLIMS RESIST MODERNIZATION
The western culture, no deny signifies a very modern way of living. But there are ‘pros’ and ‘cons’ of every culture and tradition. Same is the case with the ‘European culture’ or what we generally call the westernized culture. If we claim that Muslims resist modernization, then yes they do so for a significant purpose. They do not want the evils of the west to enter their world. They have certain religious beliefs which clash with this broader concept of western culture. Certain western values such as pornography and divorce are not acceptable to them, but that does not mean in any way that they are backward and outdated. They are equally progressive towards modern changes in the society....

Top 10 Countries with Monarchy form of Government


It is common notion for people to believe that Democracy, because of its few fundamental rules and ideas, is the best form of governance and hence there have been wars and protests in history for centuries, since the French Revolution to the very recent Arab Spring to overthrow the single powerful leader or the monarch. But even today, we see countries that are monarchies and are functioning relatively peacefully. We question if democracy is as great as it sounds and take examples of monarchies to study this type of governance.
Monarchies are of various types broadly classified as absolute monarchies and constitutional monarchies. Here, we discuss both of these and find the top ten countries with a monarchy on the basis of their Human Development Indexes and World Happiness Database.
10.QATAR
doha-dalla-landmarks
Qatar is a west Asian absolute monarchy rule solely by the Al Thani Dynasty. It used to be a very poor country earlier but its economy prospered due to the oil and natural gas resources it owns. It is today the world’s richest country with highest per capita income. The country maintains close relations with the USA as well as Saudi Arabia. It also has a lot of foreign population workforce from the Indian subcontinent as well as UAE. In fact, Qatar has more foreign population than native. But the labour laws are questionable leading to exploitation of foreign labour force. The country’s press was specified to be not free in a Freedom House report. This puts into question its fairly high score in the World Happiness Database....

Top 10 Most Dangerous Computer Viruses Ever


As dreadful as may sound, computer viruses can be a nightmare that might cause extensive damage to your innocent machine. It can significantly disrupt your system’s performance and has the potential to wipe out everything on your hard disk. Like cancer, pneumonia and other deadly diseases are to humans, computer viruses are to computers. It is designed to persistently replicate itself and corrupt your smart little baby making it sick and helpless. I don’t think today, there is anybody, who can afford to loose the secrets they tell to their dearest reliable friend or can endure to let some virus affect the system that is so close to them. Those who have gone through a virus attack on their computers knows too well what this fuss is all about and those who haven’t should know about  some of the most dangerous computer viruses and the destruction they caused.

10. Nimda –

Nimda
Nimda first surfaced in 2001 and hastily rosed to the top. The name of the virus is derived from the word “Admin” spelled backwards. It just took 22 minutes for this dangerous virus to propagate via four different ways – e-mail, server vulnerabilities, shared folders and file transfer. The worm was released on September 18, 2001, a week after the 9/11 attacks which forced many people to believe that Nimda is a Cyber Terror attack as it quickly captured almost all the sources via which the virus can infect maximum number of computers. Albeit, the primary purpose of this virus was to slow down the internet traffic considerably causing a denial-in-service attack.

Top 10 Famous People Who were Adopted

It does not matter where you come from as long as you reach where you want to. Lineage, birthplace and other details are impertinent before a person’s endeavour to build up his/her fortune. There are a number of famous people who have an alternate identity of being adopted children. Being adopted in their childhood eventually did not deter them from dreaming big. Adoption can often turn into a sensitive issue with apprehensions of an impending confrontation between adopted children and their parents, in case the truth is hidden for a long time. At times, adoptive parents have to play a greater role than other parents. That happens in order to make the children feel secure about their existence. Adoption is a noble thing to do as one ends up providing a home for somebody who is in need of one. Off late, many celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman have walked the extra mile and have happily taken the responsibility of a few young helpless infants. Natural calamities and other unfortunate events often destroy families and human lives crumble in a whisker. As fellow-beings, it is almost our duty to help those orphans who are left behind and give them a good life. Who knows those very children may grow up and become as famous as those whom I am going to mention below. Here,I present Top 10 Famous People Who Were Adopted. Read on.
 10. Dave Thomas
 dave thomas
It is possible that many of us are not aware of the name Dave Thomas but I am sure that many of us have heard about KFC and Wendy’s Hamburgers. Dave Thomas was the head chef of Kentucky Fried Chicken and later on opened his own chain of restaurants called Wendy’s.
