Aurora Around The World

Posted: 13 Jun 2012 06:50 AM PDT

Aurora Around The World – An aurora is a natural light display in the sky particularly in the high latitude (Arctic and Antarctic) regions, caused by the collision of energetic charged particles with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere (thermosphere).

The charged particles originate in the magnetosphere and solar wind and, on Earth, are directed by the Earth’s magnetic field into the atmosphere. Aurora is classified as diffuse or discrete aurora. Most aurorae occur in a band known as the auroral zone,which is typically 3° to 6° in latitudinal extent and at all local times or longitudes.

The auroral zone is typically 10° to 20° from the magnetic pole defined by the axis of the Earth’s magnetic dipole. During a geomagnetic storm, the auroral zone will expand to lower latitudes. The diffuse aurora is a featureless glow in the sky which may not be visible to the naked eye even on a dark night and defines the extent of the auroral zone.

The discrete aurora are sharply defined features within the diffuse aurora which vary in brightness from just barely visible to the naked eye to bright enough to read a newspaper at night.

Discrete aurorae are usually observed only in the night sky because they are not so bright as the sunlit sky. Aurorae occasionally occur poleward of the auroral zone as diffuse patches or arcs (polar cap arcs), which are generally invisible to the naked eye.

Tips On Avoiding Food Poisoning While Traveling

Posted: 10 Jun 2012 02:33 AM PDT

Tips On Avoiding Food Poisoning While Traveling – There's a high chance of getting food poisoning while traveling, especially if you travel through developing countries. Such thing can easily ruin the trip and even put your health in danger. Some even get put off going abroad. Although with proper precautions, you can protect yourself against these unpleasant surprises. Here are some tips on how to avoid food poisoning while traveling.

1. Avoid tap water

Do not drink tap water or water served in restaurants from open jugs. The chances of such water being contaminated are high especially in certain countries. When you're in the country buy a stock of branded filter water whose quality can be trusted.  The bottled water should be bought from a city store or supermarket. If you buy from trusted sources then you lessen the chance of buying recycled bottles. As an extra precaution, you should check the seal. Don't buy water bottles that have broken or tampered seals.

2. Get recommendations for hotels and restaurants

Always do your research before you travel. Ask friends or find travel forums to find whether your accommodation is of a good standard. If you haven't managed to do that ask local people/tourist information centres for recommendations when you arrive. And be picky about restaurants. Do not eat at wayside restaurants unless they are certified by travel authorities. Check the hygiene levels of a restaurant before settling down. The condition of the tablecloths, stains, the way the waiters dressed and so on. You should never eat food in a restaurant that does not look sufficiently clean.

3. Insist on hot food

Another important precaution is to eat hot, cooked food. Food cooked in microwaves or coal-powered ovens destroys microbes, reducing the chances of food poisoning.  There is no harm in having a hot cup of tea or coffee that has been brewed in front of you but avoid cold drinks unless they are bottled. Also avoid ice as far as possible because you have no way of knowing whether it has been made from clean, filtered water or not.

4. Avoid street food vendors

Food sold from a stall can be particularly dangerous. In many developing countries you can clearly see flies buzzing around, as well as smell rotten leftovers.  There is always a high possibility of such food being infected because of the open environment. It is always best to buy fresh healthy fruit & vegetables. Wash them, and if necessary, peel them yourself before eating.

5. Never gorge on seafood

When visiting coastal areas you should avoid gorging yourself on seafood. Seafood can be very dangerous if it is not properly cooked. You should also make it a point not to eat raw food such as non-pasteurized milk, cheese, raw meat, raw seafood or shellfish. Even if you think the seafood has been properly cooked in certain areas and countries avoid it completely.

6. Always carry emergency food supplies

A good practice is to carry a few bars of chocolate, a box of almonds, a few protein bars, and half a dozen apples and oranges. These can be used on those occasions when you fail to locate a hotel that looks hygienic or trustworthy. Also, always carry a bottle of purified or mineral water to quench your thirst. You can buy water purification tablets in travel shops. These are good to carry with you in an emergency.
