Finding a Purpose-Photography

Nothing stimulates a photographer to take better pictures more than having a purpose. Aimless shooting will eventually lead to dissatisfaction with your output. If we think of photography as a language we can imagine how pointless it would be to mumble words without putting them together into sentences. Using photography to make a growing record of our family, or in support of some other hobby, is certainly putting it to odd purpose. But we might eventually like to become more ambitious. We could begin by making a survey of local beauty spots-or even local ugly spots. Photography for its own sake can be immensely rewarding, but many people derive and been greater satisfaction from setting themselves particular aims not to the exclusion of general purpose photography, of course, but as a way of putting their photographic skills to good use in the service of some other interest. Having a purpose makes us think very hard about the pictures we want to take, it makes us consider very carefully the techniques and equipment we will need to use to get them. And that is better than scratching our head and wondering what to photograph next.

Do Sea Plants Have Roots Too?

No, sea plants don't have any roots. Plants that live on land have roots to take in water and food. But sea plants are always covered by water. Everything the plants need is in the seawater. Sea plants get water and food from all over their surface, so they don't need roots. The things that look like roots are used to fasten the plant to rocks and other objects in the water. While these are not real roots, they keep the plant from being carried away by the current. The parts of a sea plant are almost the same in structure, with no distinct roots, stems or leaves. What looks like a root is actually a rhizoid. The roots of a land plant absorb water and nutrients, but the rhizoid is nothing more than an anchor. A sea plant is described as foliate, or leaf-shaped, because the whole plant appears to be merely a single leaf.

SAFF concludes in Goa

The relatively dull 4th South Asian Film Festival (SAFF) being hosted by Goa, saw an even more disappointing closing ceremony on Monday with a turnout of only around 100 viewers in the nearly 1,000 seater Kala Academy auditorium. The four-day-long festival concluded with the screening of Afghan film Opium War. Actress Manisha Koirala, directors Rajat Kapoor and Nirmal Pandey and Maldives film director Fathimath Nathulla were the only guests present from the film industry. Speaker of the Goa legislative assembly Pratapsingh Rane and chairman of the managing committee of the festival Jeetendra Deshprabhu were the other prominent individuals present. The guests chose to keep their speeches short, possibly because of the lack of audience.The four-day-long festival, which started on June 26 and ended on June 29, saw the screening of 60 films from eight SAARC countries, namely Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Some of the notable films screened were Welcome to Sajjanpur, Fashion, A Wednesday, Aha!, Megher Por Megh, The Roots, Opium War, Ramchand Pakistani, Mohabattan Sachian, Death on a Full Moon Night, The Dark Night of the Soul and In An Iranian Market. The festival began with Maldivian movie Yousuf.

How Do Porcupines Protect Themselves?

The porcupine's body is covered by long quills that look like needles. These are the porcupine's weapon. The quills are very strong and the tips are extremely sharp. They pierce the skin of any animal unfortunate enough to encounter them. About two thirds of the way down its spine ,a porcupine has quills from 3 to 15 inches (7.5-40 cm) long, which are the porcupine's fur in different form. They come out when they touch an enemy. The quills have barbs that are very hard to get out when they stick into things. Although the quills are not poisonous, wounds often become infected, causing death to the animal. Recent studies prove that the hedgehog's quills serve not only as a form of defense, but also as a sort of shock to cushion the animal against any injury if it falls out of a tree.

Why Did Elasmosaurus Have Such a Long Neck?

Elasmosaurus was one of the plesiosaurs, the group of early reptiles that lived all their lives in the water. It lived mainly on fish and pterosaurs, or flying dinosaurs. It's very long neck was twice as lng as its body but was just the right length for catching the kinds of food that Elasmosaurus loved to eat. Some of the many kinds of plesiosaurs, or early marine reptiles, were long necked. Elasmosaurus, typical of those that were, lived at the end of the Cretaceous. Elasmosaurs may have hunted by plunging their head into a school of fish or snapping up flying pterosaurs. Some elasmosaur fossils found in Kansas show that they had been attacked by sharks quite similar to modern sharks.
