DEFORESTATION

       Humans play an important role in influencing the evolution of flora and fauna in addition to changing component of forest ecosystems in their lifetime. Sometimes its activities had little effect, while sometimes men also cause major changes in woody vegetation, or loss of the tree cover. However, not all modifications that lead to destruction, but the problems raised have been frequent enough and serious enough to cause anxiety to rapid deforestation occurred and levels prevalent today. The components of the ecosystem appears to be influenced by the people is the destruction of habitats, ecosystems and biodiversity, global climate change or local heating and dispelling the rate of soil erosion caused by logging activities and agricultural control. It can be named as deforestation and it will affect the environmental destruction.

          Destruction of habitats, ecosystems and biodiversity, a variety of fauna and flora species threatened with extinction and destruction as a result of excessive deforestation. When forests are destroyed, the tree functions as a major producer will also be destroyed. Wildlife that depend on plants as herbivores will lose sources of food. For example, elephants, deer, monkeys and others. Damage to ecosystems, such as the destruction of food chains, energy cycles biotic and abiotic components that would disrupt the local ecological balance. Overall ecological disruption will occur when forests are destroyed.

        Global climate change or local warming: the temperature increase due to the absence of protective environment that prevents the sun's rays, and the excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Next will reduce rainfall or rainfall patterns change often occurs so creating drought phenomenon. Reduction in humidity as a result of the function to release steam into the air through transpiration is lost or reduced. The air around the dry and hot weather. Forests are no longer able to function to moderate the temperature by trapping the sun and releasing steam through the process of sweating.

         Increase the rate of erosion: the effect of deforestation also contribute to the occurrence of soil erosion. When forests are cut down, tree roots no longer grip the ground under the surface. When no roots to grip the ground, resulting in a loose soil structure. When it rains, storm water flow will cause the structure of the soil is soft and smooth.  Land soft  and smooth to move down the hill slopes and landslides took place. Landslide not only damage the forest ecosystem, but also endanger human lives as happened in Bukit Antarabangsa.

           In fact, forest-based biological system is very complex and difficult to understand, as well as the living conditions of billions of people wholly dependent on forests. Apparently environmental stability and balance have been affected by the actions of man to conquer the forest areas through various activities such as exploring the forest for agriculture such as shifting cultivation by indigenous people, the unplanned felling of trees, burning, and many others. Although a number of activities aimed at developing economic times, but sometimes these activities are violations of human areas that need to be curbed by law.

FASCHING
Fasching is carnival season. Originally it was a Pagan festival which came out of ancient Rome or Greece. In recent centuries, however, it has become more associated with the Christian Church. Officially the season starts on 11th November at 11:11am, although I've no idea why. It continues pretty low key for about 3 months. Things really begin to happen in February or March - 7 weeks before Easter. This is the week when people are allowed to "flip out" and behave recklessly before the beginning of Lent, which is a much more serious time.

The Thursday before Ash Wednesday (25.Feb.2009) is known as "Weiberfastnacht", or "Women's carnival night". On this day tradition dictates that women are allowed to cut off the tie of any man within reach. So guys, don't wear your favourite tie to work that day! The women are also allowed to kiss any man they like. The following Monday is known as Rosenmontag (Rose Monday). On Rosenmontag there are various street processions involving lots of costumes and carnival floats. Faschingsdienstag (Carnival Tuesday) is the last day of Fasching and when most of the festivities happen. Faschingsdienstag is not an official holiday but workers usually get the afternoon off.

MARDI GRAS

many areas, the term "Mardi Gras" has come to mean the whole period of activity related to the celebratory events, beyond just the single day. In some US cities, it is now called "Mardi Gras Day" or "Fat Tuesday".[1][2][3][4][5][6] The festival season varies from city to city, as some traditions consider Mardi Gras the entire period between Epiphany or Twelfth Night and Ash Wednesday.[7] Others treat the final three-day period before Ash Wednesday as the Mardi Gras.[8] In Mobile, Alabama, Mardi Gras-associated social events begin in November, followed by mystic society balls on Thanksgiving,[7][9] then New Year's Eve, followed by parades and balls in January and February, celebrating up to midnight before Ash Wednesday. In earlier times parades were held on New Year's Day.[7] Other cities famous for Mardi Gras celebrations include Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Barranquilla, Colombia, Sydney, Australia, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, Quebec City, Canada; Mazatlán, Sinaloa in Mexico; and New Orleans, Louisiana, United States.Carnival is an important celebration in Catholic European nations. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the week before Ash Wednesday is called "shrovetide", ending on Shrove Tuesday. It has its popular celebratory aspects as well. Pancakes are a traditional food. Pancakes and related fried breads or pastries made with sugar, fat and eggs are also traditionally consumed at this time in many parts of Latin America and the Caribbean.

  

OBON

Obon is an annual Buddhist  event for commemorating one's ancestors. It is believed that each year during obon, the ancestors' spirits return to this world in order to visit their relatives. Traditionally, lanterns are hung in front of houses to guide the ancestors' spirits, obon dances (bon odori) are performed, graves are visited and food offerings are made at house altars and temples.

Obon is celebrated from the 13th to the 15th day of the 7th month of the year, which is July according to the solar calendar. However, since the 7th month of the year roughly coincides with August rather than July according to the formerly used lunar calendar, Obon is still celebrated in mid August in many regions of Japan, while it is celebrated in mid July in other regions. The Obon week in mid August is one of Japan's three major holiday seosons , accompanied by intensive domestic and international travel activities and increased accommodation rates. In 2011, the peak of the Obon travel season is anticipated to take place between August 6 and August 21. The busiest days for domestic travel are expected to be around August 12 and 13 with people leaving the big cities, and August 15 an

          

INTI RAYMI

The Inti Raymi ("Festival of the Sun") was a religious ceremony of the inca empire honor of the god inti, one of the most venerated gods in Inca religion. According to chronicler Garcilaso de la Vega, Sapa Inca pachacuti created the Inti Raymi to celebrate the winter solstice and a new year in the andres of the southern hemisphere. Since 1944, a theatrical representation of the Inti Raymi has been taking place at sacsayhuaman(two km. from cusco) on June 24 of each year, attracting thousands of  tourists and local visitors.

During the Inca Empire, the Inti Raymi was the most important of four ceremonies celebrated incusco, as related by inca garcilaso delavega. The celebration took place in the Haukaypata or the main plaza in the city. The ceremony was also said to indicate the mythical origin of the Incas, lasting nine days of colorful dances and processions, as well as animal sacrifices to ensure a good cropping season. The last Inti Raymi with the Inca Emperor's presence was carried out in 1535, after which the Spanish conquest and the catholic church suppressed it. Some natives participated in similar ceremonies in the years after, but it was completely prohibited in 1572 by the Viceroy Francisco de toledo, who claimed it was a pagan ceremony opposed to the Catholic faith.

SONGKRAN

Of all the feasts and festivals in Thailand, which are many, the Songkran Festival is the most striking, for it is widely observed not only in this country but also in Burma, Cambodia and the Lao State.Songkran is a Sanskrit word in Thai form which means the entry of the sun into any sign of the Zodiac. But the Songkran in this particular instance is when the sun enters the sign of Aries or the Ram. Its full name is Maha Songkran or Major Songkran to distinguish it from the other ones. But the people call it simply the Songkran for it is the only one they know and in which they take interest. It is their traditional New Year when they can enjoy their holidays to the full with no economic hindrance. Songkran is a fixable feast on the solar calender. It begins on the 13th April and ends on the 15th April, but occasionally in certain years on the 16th April. The Songkran is in fact the celebration of the vernal equinox similar to those of the Indian Holi Festival, the Chinese Ching Ming, and the Christian Festival of Easter. The beginning of spring when the sun crosses the equator is now on the 21st of March which is due to the precession of the equinox. The Songkran Festival is in a certain sense like April Fool's Day, when the maids of the village play pranks on any gallant who happens to pass by their way. He will be caught and bound by the united strength of the maids and they will daub him with blacking.

      

ANIMALS AND COLOR

Do animal see color

Many animals have the ability to see colors. This ability is based on the types of visual pigments in a cell. Animals and insects cover an exhaustive field of biological diversity. The majority of spiders have eight eyes and poor vision, while flies have hundreds of tiny lenses and near-360-degree vision. Eagles can spot a mouse from over one mile high (1.6 km), while a sloth has trouble seeing any animal that isn’t moving. Considering this vast diversity, whether or not animals see in color is a question that must be taken species by species.

Which animals see color

For example, many fish can see colors (e.g. Phoxinus, Crenilabrus). Some amphibians can see colors (frog: Rana temporaria, toads: Bufo bufo, some salamanders) and they usually have two pigments. Most reptiles can see colors (snakes, turtles). Birds: general rule: birds that are active during the day can see colors, but birds that are acitve during the night cannot. Mammals are generally bad in color vision. Examples of color-blind mammals are rats, hamsters, rabbits, and dogs. Cats are weak, but can see some colors. Mammals that are quite good are guinea pigs, sheep, zebra, horses. Also some invertebrates are able to see colors. Some Cephalopods (e.g. sepia, but not octopus). Crabs are generally good in color vision. Many insects (all beetles, hymenopterans (bees, wasps, ants), homopterans (ture bugs), and all flies. All insects are unable to see red light (only known exception are ants), but some are able to see UV (ultraviolet) instead. Many animals can see things that we cannot. For example, cats rely on their night vision to give them an advantage as they hunt for prey, while our human ancestors - who couldn’t see well in the dark - sought safe refuge at night and hunted during the daylight hours. Although we know that sight differs among animals, we do not know what animals actually perceive. There is an important distinction between having light illuminate the retina, and understanding what is being seen. Color vision and perception across the animal kingdom is the subject of much ongoing research, as we have a very limited understanding of the many ways animals see.

Color vision and perception across the animal kingdom is the subject of much ongoing research, as we have a very limited understanding of the many ways animals see.The dance of the honeybee has been researched extensively, so we have a relatively good understanding of the color vision of bees and related insects. Mosquitoes and flies have been studied because of their role in spreading diseases, and it has been

shown that they are attracted or repelled by specific surface colors, and by specific colored sources of light. Interestingly, the surface colors they prefer do not necessarily correlate with the light source colors that attract them.
