<h3 style="text-align: center;"><em>Explore how and when the stars are born and how far they live&#8230;</em></h3>
<p><a href="http://www.techstroke.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/sun.bmp" ><img class="size-full wp-image-2111 alignnone" title="sun" src="http://www.techstroke.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/sun.bmp" alt="Life cycle of a star, image of sun" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-2110"></span></p>
<p>The life cycle of a star is determined by its mass. The greater the mass of the star, the shorter is its life span. The hottest stars are blue in color, and the coolest one appears red. The life cycles of the stars are almost same up to main sequence (i.e. – red-giant phase). And after that they have unique way of dying out as per their masses.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The life of a star about one solar mass</span></h3>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Stage 1</span>-</h3>
<p>Stars are born in a region of high density <strong><em>Nebula</em></strong>, and condenses into a huge globule of gas and dust and contracts under its own gravity.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Stage 2</span> -</h3>
<p>A region of condensing matter will begin to heat up and start to glow forming <strong><em>Protostars. </em></strong>If a Protostar contains enough matter the central temperature reaches 15 million degrees centigrade.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Stage 3</span> -</h3>
<p>At this temperature, nuclear reactions in which hydrogen fuses to form helium can start.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Stage 4</span> -</h3>
<p>The star begins to release energy, stopping it from contracting even more and causes it to shine. It is now a <strong><em>Main Sequence Star.</em></strong></p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Stage 5</span> -</h3>
<p>A star of one solar mass remains in main sequence for about 10 billion years, until all of the hydrogen has fused to form helium.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Stage 6</span> -</h3>
<p>The helium core now starts to contract further and reactions begin to occur in a shell around the core.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Stage 7</span> -</h3>
<p>The core is hot enough for the helium to fuse to form carbon. The outer layers begin to expand, cool and shine less brightly. The expanding star is now called a <strong><em>Red Giant.</em></strong></p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Stage 8</span> -</h3>
<p>The helium core runs out, and the outer layers drift of away from the core as a gaseous shell, this gas that surrounds the core is called a <strong><em>Planetary Nebula.</em></strong></p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Stage 9</span> -</h3>
<p>The remaining core (that is 80% of the original star) is now in its final stages. The core becomes a <strong>W<em>hite Dwarf</em></strong> the star eventually cools and dims. When it stops shining, the now dead star is called a <strong><em>Black Dwarf</em></strong>.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Massive Stars &#8211; The Life of a Star of about 10 Solar Masses</span></h3>
<p>Massive stars have a mass 3x times that of the Sun. Some are 50x that of the Sun.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Stage 1</span> -</h3>
<p>Massive stars evolve in a similar way to a small star until it reaches its main sequence stage (see small stars, stages 1-4). The stars shine steadily until the hydrogen has fused to form helium (it takes billions of years in a small star, but only millions in a massive star).</p>
<h3>Stage 2 -</h3>
<p>The massive star then becomes a <strong><em>Red Super giant</em></strong> and starts of with a helium core surrounded by a shell of cooling, expanding gas.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Stage 3</span> -</h3>
<p>In the next million years a series of nuclear reactions occur forming different elements in shells around the iron core.</p>
<h3>Stage 4 -</h3>
<p>The core collapses in less than a second, causing an explosion called a <strong><em>Supernova</em></strong>, in which a shock wave blows of the outer layers of the star. (The actual supernova shines brighter than the entire galaxy for a short time).</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Stage 5</span> -</h3>
<p>Sometimes the core survives the explosion. If the surviving core is between 1.5 &#8211; 3 solar masses it contracts to become a tiny, very dense <strong><em>Neutron Star</em></strong>. If the core is much greater than 3 solar masses, the core contracts to become a <strong><em>Black Hole.</em></strong></p>

Geotoko works in the field of small businesses, large brands and agencies.

<p>Geotoko creates a location-based service,that track the progress and reward customers all while driving foot traffic to your business or venue. Geotoko supports today&#8217;s most popular check-in services across a variety of mobile platforms ensuring maximum reach. Geotoko services measures the effectiveness of your campaigns to gain valuable insights to consumer behavior and location performance.</p>
<p>LBS providers are beginning to launch business “dashboards” that would allow local businesses and brands to launch unique campaigns, but that lends itself to fragmentation. Centralizing and making available a comprehensive solution for businesses and brands to utilize the LBS ecosystem is a great idea, but only if its done effectively.&#160; Whether Geotoko has what it takes is up in the air, but it’s an excellent start.</p>

<p>Just happened to see this broadband speed and costs survey by ITIF ( <a href="http://www.itif.org/"  rel="nofollow"><em>Information Technology and Innovation Foundation</em></a> )&#160; and this shows a different picture then what i expected it to be after reading the title .&#160; Japan , Korea, Finland and other such countries are on Top while, USA which started the Internet and has maximum Web servers hosted stands at 15th position ( how lame ! ) .</p>
<p> <span id="more-921"></span>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>But, as I thought more about it, then there was the actual picture, this graph was about the cost per 1Mbps speed and also the average Broadband speed , Now as you guys already know that established and nations with large geographical area and population have internet connection but the speed and quality is too much distributed. While to internetwork a small country with only big cities or concentrated population zones is really easy as you can use OFC or even some other costly technology to internetwork . While, USA and other big countries have geographically large distances and they rely on Wireless or Copper wires for data transmission and this brings down the overall Average broadband speed.</p>
<p>But still this report presents a impressive picture, I feel like moving to Japan and downloading the whole WWW from there <img src='http://www.techstroke.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>NASA in continuation with it’s study of feasibility of life on Mars is sending another rover to Mars, Scheduled to launch in the fall of 2011, Mars Science Laboratory is part of NASA&#8217;s Mars Exploration Program.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.techstroke.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/image28.png" ><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://www.techstroke.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/image_thumb28.png" width="375" height="86" /></a></p>
<p> <span id="more-763"></span>
</p>
<p>The best part is they are going to send a microchip containing names of all people who wish to get their name on that chip, just by entering your name on the official site <a href="http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/participate/sendyourname/index.html"  target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><strong><em>here</em></strong></a>. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.techstroke.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/image29.png" ><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://www.techstroke.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/image_thumb29.png" width="504" height="209" /></a></p>
<p>You will get a certificate same as this one ( except for your name on it of course !!) which you can keep with yourself as a insignia of your presence on&#160; Mars courtesy NASA.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.techstroke.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/image30.png" ><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://www.techstroke.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/image_thumb30.png" width="504" height="239" /></a> </p>
<p>I genuinely believe it’s an interesting idea, I have already sent my name to Mars on an earlier NASA mission and it and I am a fan of this initiative by NASA as this seems a major development in bridging the gap that exists between various researches and projects going Inside the lab to people outside the labs.</p>
<p>And, one thing I noted that people from India are not participating in this in big numbers as can be seen from this world participation Graph , While people in USA are getting to the Mars in huge numbers .</p>
