Inflation

About thirty years ago, for many Chinese families, their dream is to have ten thousand yuan in their bank account. If someone had those money, they definitely were very rich. But now, even the person has one hundred thousand yuan in the bank account, he/she is still far away from a rich person. The value of money falls a lot. Economist generally agree it is caused by inflation.

According to the Wikipedia, inflation refers to a rise in the general level of prices of goods and services in an economy over a period of time (wiki online). It occurs in almost every country.

There are many causes for inflation. The major one is an excessive growth of the money supply. It is usually due to the government print an excess of money to deal with a crisis, such as a civil war in US. Manufacturing money out of thin air eventually puts more money in the ordinary person's pocket. Consumers tend to spend too much. As a result, prices end up rising to keep up with the currency surplus.

Another cause of inflation is production costs raise rapidly. For example, if fuel price increased, the transport cost of materials would have increased. It leads to the company increasing final prices to maintain steady profits. Company usually chose to pass on the burden to the consumer. The increasing on federal product taxes and labor wages are another factors effect production costs.

Inflation also can be caused by international lending and national debts. When the government borrows money, it has to deal with interests, which in the end cause prices to rise. A deep drop of the exchange rate can also result in inflation, because the government will have to deal with the differences in the import and export.

Now, most economists favor a low steady rate of inflation. low inflation may reduce the severity of economic recessions by enabling the labor market to adjust more quickly in a downturn. However, any rise at an unsustainable level will certainly have a bad impact on the economy.

The progressive rise of inflation makes the borrowers to be less willing to use the money as standard differed payments. For example, if you lend out $100 and will get $110 next year, can you still get the same thing using $110 next year as what you spend $100 to get now? The financial organizations will be less willing to loan out money. On the other side, debtors who have debts with a fixed rate of interest will get the benefit from high inflation rate.

If inflation is very high, money is no longer an effective means of exchange. The economies have to go to tricky trades. Companies hard to budget or plan long term project. Uncertainty about the future purchasing power of money discourages investment and saving.

Inflation also could impose hidden tax increases. People will be taxed a higher percentage if their income increases following an inflation increase.

Therefore, every government tries to keep the rate of inflation low and stable.

Global warming

Global warming is the warming near the earth's surface that results when the earth's atmosphere traps the sun's heat. The earth is getting warmer. The changes are small, so far, but they are expected to grow and speed up. Within the next fifty to one hundred years, the earth may be hotter than it has been in the past million years. As oceans warm and glaciers melt, land and cities along coasts may be flooded. Heat and drought may cause forests to die and food crops to fail. Global warming will affect weather everywhere, plants and animals everywhere, people everywhere; humans are warming the earth's atmosphere by burning fuels, cutting down forest, and by taking part in other activities that release certain heat trapping gases into the air.
Then, how the global warming cause? What are the main global warming causes?
There are three main chemical substance of global warming.
First, carbon dioxide, it is from fossil fuel, deforestation , failing sink.
Second, methane , it is from cattle dejection , the arctic tundra.
The last one is nitrogen oxides, it is from farming.
Because of three chemical substances, earth is warming.
Essentially three chemical substances are from human being.
For example, we make factory which need a lot of fossil fuel. People cut the tree which change carbon dioxide into oxygen.
Global warming is big issue that we must notice about that.

Benefits of recycling

Many people have been trying to protect the planet or to create solutions to solve the global warming. Multiples solutions have been planed, but one of the most common is recycling. This method turns materials that would otherwise into valuable resources. Recycling consist in get bottles, can, paper, plastic, newspaper, and others materials and taking them to a recycling facility where are process to be use again, or to become in new material.

The process of recycling can be follow by three easy steps. The first one is collecting and processing the materials. This depends on the community or education that the society has. Some communities have in schools, universities, malls, and their own houses trashcan for each material. After full the trashcans people go to recycling facilities to give the materials. The second step is manufacturing, once the material is cleaned and separated in this case new products are make with the recycling material. The last recycling is the commercial step, where recycling products are in sell and people with a “green” mind buy the products.

The benefits of recycling are essential for the planet earth and his conservation. Furthermore it reduces the production of new product, which pollute the environment. With more people recycling cheaper it gets, saves energy, reduces emissions of greenhouses gases, conserves natural resources, etc.

People are now interesting to sustain the environment for futures generations, they do not want that their children have a bad place to grow up or an environment which is dangerous for their heath. Future depends in the present and how we decide to preserve which is why recycling is an option for a better and healthy future.

Transplant a tree is not only move the place... remember it is a living being

To begin, you need to know that trees and shrubs are living being too, thus we should take some care. First, we need to know what kind of tree or shrub we have, because some trees and shrubs need specific location, more sun or more shade, Do you which kind do you have?.
When you dig out your plants you need to dig before your new hole, because the longer it's the roots go out the home, there is more possibility to have a successful transplanting. But, do you know the depth of the hole?, is a twice of the rootball.
When you reach the bottom of the new hole, what do we do? break up the soil beneath? If your answer is this, you are wrong, Don't do that because you increase the possibility to rot the root because the tree or shrub can down more than adequate.
Dig out the tree or shrub, you can't start in the center, you should start around because it's important to take care with the rootball since it is the hearth of your tree or shrub, when you'll finished the hole, put the shovel under the rootball and make pressure and be careful, then move to the new hole.
In the new hole, tamp this soil down firmly and water it as you go, and when it's is completed, add water, water, water.

GPS

When driving to an unfamiliar place, how will you get the direction? Asking somebody, taking a map, or taking a GPS with you? Now, more and more people prefer using GPS during driving, hiking, even fishing. As we all know, the Gloal Positioning System (GPS) involves lots of technical ingenuity, but the process of how GPS receivers work is not as complicate as you might thought.

The GPS receiver has a GPS chip that receives signals from satellites and uses those signals to get a precise fix on your current location. GPS is made up of a system of 27 satellites. 24 is working and the other 3 are back up. These satellites orbit the earth twice a day sending information to receivers on earth of exact time and place of the receiver. So no matter where you are, there should be at least four satellite signals that the GPS receiver can obtain. The GPS receiver uses the signals from minimum of three of the twenty-four satellites to find the longitude and latitude. To find the elevation as well, the GPS receiver will need at least four satellite transmissions.

GPS receiver can get your precise current location, but it needs to do more to be useful as a navigation system. There is a map inside the GPS receiver. It is used to plot your precise location. After input the destination, GPS receiver would use the map and the navigation software to plot a route based on the navigation preferences.

Today's GPS receivers are extremely accurate and very useful, but they still have some disadvantages. GPS receiver require an unobstructed view of the sky, so it is used only outdoors and it often does not perform well within forests, mountains and near tall buildings.

Even there are many improvements needed for the GPS receivers, there will always comes new technologies. With those new technologies, the future GPS receivers will make our lives more convenient.

If you are busy, there is no time to thinking a fear. You might be busy to think another things. So finally you forget about the fear.
The last one is if you are christian, pray to the God.
In bible, it said, "Do not afraid God is always with us".
