Global warming is one of the most dangerous challenges that all of humanity has ever faced. Its multiple effects will cause disruptions in everything from natural habitat to drinking water and food supply. And even more dangerously, it will give birth to some of the most powerful natural disasters ever known to mankind.

In 2004, the Tsunami in asia displayed an unforgiving act of nature. Less than a year later, across continents in the united states, hurricane Katrina delivered a blow of equal magnitude. Both the disasters caused massive humanitarian crisis, effecting hundreds of thousands of lives. These might not have been directly caused by global warming, but it certainly paints a picture of thing to come.

In india, the speed of cyclones in the Andra Pradesh region has jumped from an average of 150 kilometres per hours to 250 kph within just six years! And while some cities are at a risk of being washed out, other are at the risk of drying up.

Global warming will cause parts of the world to be very fertile for a period of time but simultaneously, it will also cause droughts in other parts. Scientists have estimated that as much as half a million people in asia could face starvation within the next 30-40 years at this rate.

But its not just these devastating disasters that hint towards whats happening with our weather. Summers are becoming hotter by the year, and this winter ski resorts in Central america, europe and the united states all lost business because it just hadnt snowed like it used to even last year! For the first time in over a hundred years, Central Park in New york saw no snow in December 2006.

With global warming, extreme weather or freak weather is becoming a part of daily life. June and July alone has witnessed massive floods in the UK and parts of the united states, while in other parts of the United states heat has caused dangerous forest fires. And this week, the west coast is expected to hit temperatures in triple digits!

There is little argument that global warming is real and it causes changes in our weather pattern. Every week, scientists find more startling and disturbing evidence to support this fact. And the scientific community is trying everything from simple steps to cut carbon emission en masse, to designing colossal artificial air purifiers for earth. This time, its for the sake of our planet.

The world of electronics has been a great help in globalization and has contributed a great deal in improving the life of an individual. The advancement of electronics has made various tasks to be carried out more easily and comfortably. One of its examples can be seen in the form of internet and computers that connect millions of people from all over the world. Moreover in the advent of satellite channels, people have become more aware of the happenings in other countries. All these have been among various advantages of the electronic world in the life of a man. In other words, electronic world has marked a turning point in peoples life. However, the electronic development has not been stagnated here. only there is constant development taking place in the world of technology with the passage of time.

The electronic development refers to engineering a simple design of a machine. But this is carried out by keeping in mind the requirements of a consumer. There are various points that should be taken care of while making a new product. This includes that it should be eco-friendly, minimal cost, comply all requirements of a user, PCB designs and many other issues.

There are many latest techniques in the world of electronics that have been invented. VCRs have been replaced by dvd player and DVD recorder. Moreover, there is also a trend of electronic voting. This involves usage of an electronic voter machine to cast a vote. These recorded votes are further counted by electric means only. This saves both time and effort required to be put in by an individual. It even speeds up the whole process of voting. This is especially beneficial to handicapped people who cant walk up to a voting booth. This electronic voting technology makes use of specialized voting kiosks, optical scan voting systems and punch cards for the purpose.

Another development in the field of electronics is the use of digital signals instead of analog signals for the transfer of data and also various other purposes. mobile phones, computers, cameras and many other products use the same technique. This technique makes available more storage space, and even lessens the wear and tear in the stored information.

Digital cameras ensure a better picture quality, more storage and even editing and transferring of the photographs on a computer. Moreover, the entertainment world has electronics as its foundation. Whether it is a radio, television, broadcasting of movies, news on channels, digital cameras, all have been a contribution of the electronics world.

It has been estimated that there are some 50 million golfers worldwide and that 80% of all golfers will never achieve a handicap of less than 18. Also, despite the advances that have been made with golf instruction videos, books and equipment, the golf handicap of players has not improved over the last 20 years. What, then, is the problem?

Most golf players experience the ups and downs of the game. One minute they think they have found the perfect golf swing, for example, as they could do little wrong in their last game. The very next game they are lamenting about they just couldnt do anything right and had a disastrous result. They then go onto that continuous merry-go-round, it seems, of searching for the perfect golf swing.

I too have been one of those golfers searching for the perfect golf swing. I have hacked my way through a game on many occasions, vowing countless times that I would never play this frustrating game again. I have practiced non-stop for hours on end. I have searched and searched for that secret bit of instruction that would turn my game around dramatically, but without success until now!

I have been introduced to an amateur golfer who has shared my frustrations and who, after a 4-year search, has found the perfect golf swing. He has discovered that once he understood just what the golf professionals were doing to execute a consistent and repeatable swing, he was able to introduce this discovery into his own game with unbelievable results. Other players, of course, are also benefiting from his discovery.

I was skeptical at first as I had tried various bits of golf instruction over the years, without notable success. The very first game I played after reading my friends instruction, though, changed my mind. On my best days I play to a 17 handicap. On my worst days well, lets just say I struggle. My first game yesterday after my enlightened instruction, though, was inspiring.

Of the 9 holes I played, here are my results:

1) Hit the par 3 green with my straight-as-a-die tee-shot and looking at a possible birdie. Settled for par.
2) A great drive and a great second shot to hit the par 4 green in regulation. Settled for par.
3) Because I was hitting the ball so well, I decided to step well back of the tee in case I over-hit the short par 3 green. Big mistake as my straight shot was just short of the green. Settled for a one-over.
4) My tee shot to the long par 3 was just slightly right of the green. Settled for a one-over.
5) two great shots saw me on the par 4 green in regulation. Par.
6) Hit two great shots into a strong head-wind, so disappointed to have not made the green on the courses longest par 4. It must have affected me because I played the only bad shot of the day, a fluffed chip onto the green. Three putted for a two-over.
7) Three great shots to the edge of the par 5. One over.
8) A good drive, but a bit left. A great recovery shot just to the edge of the par 4 green. One over.
9) My best drive of the day, leaving an 8 iron shot to the par 4 green. Just missed a birdie. Par.

I had just played the most enjoyable 9 holes I have played for quite some time. Now that I understand just what the pros are doing to execute a repeatable swing and incorporating that information into my own game, I am getting results. I am confident on continuing on this path of improvement. I have found the perfect golf swing.
