According to astronomers and research scientist, the most significant total solar eclipse of the century is falling on Wednesday July 22, 2009. Scientists and astronomers around the world are preparing to study the solar eclipse specially the study of shadow bands. Shadow bands are thin wavy lines of alternating light and dark that can be seen moving and undulating in parallel on plain-coloured surfaces immediately before and after a total solar eclipse. However, a new theory has been put forward by Dr. Stuart Eves, who works for Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL), that shadow bands might actually be caused by infrasound, which involves the shadow of the moon travelling at supersonic speed which in turn produces high frequency sound that humans can't hear and because of this, creates a shockwave in front of the shadow, which causes shadow bands. 'Maitri' the Indian astronomy station at Antarctica got the first chance to study shadaow bands for the first time on Nov...

Here is one motivational story which i received by email from one of my friend, sharing with you:- The Chains of Belief As I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.  I saw a trainer near by and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. "Well," he said, "when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free." I was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck...

Unless you work for yourself and have no other employees, you'll need to deal with payroll, because you have to make sure that the people who give you their time get fair compensation. It used to be somewhat difficult to do payroll. It was several days of work, on and off, with paper and pen in order to figure out just how many hours everyone worked, what their rates of pay were, and whether they had any special circumstances like overtime, unpaid time off, and other issues. It is not always easy to figure all of these things out, and much of it depends on the person who is doing the payroll, how 'standard' the payroll is, and how much time is available to work on it. Now that the payroll process for most businesses has become much more automated , there are a lot of options. One of these is direct deposit. Instead of getting a check each pay period, employees would see their earnings deposited directly into their bank account. The money goes in automatically on their pay d...
