My Review about Alastair Reynolds
Reynolds has excellent ideas and his writing skills have improved over time (Example: characterization), but his plots are somewhat haphazard and the pacing is inconsistent. Chasm City remains his finest book in my opinion. All of the threads work well together, and the gradual revelation of Tanner Mirabel's secrets is brilliantly realized. Revelation Space was a good debut but fatally flawed due to its paper-thin characters and that mind-numbing physics info-dump at the end. Redemption Ark was good up until the overly long ship chase (which took up about half of the book) and the skipped-over relativistic space battle. Absolution Gap took too long to get going and then took the absolute piss by doing a Hamilton at the end. I keep hearing good things about his short stories, and I'm hoping that they are more consistent than his novels. Nightshade Books should be churning out a collection of these stories sometime this year.
Foolishness to send signals to universe
Chromosomes and genes are the basic constituents of living body. We know that genes are basically amino acids. They have self dividing capability. These are the primitive forms of life. For their existence, some factors are essential. These factors are water, air and light. Temperature is also an essential factor. The first life originated from these factors. In the primitive earth, there existed all the favorable factors essential for the origin of life. But high temperature made the life impossible. (New indentations make some contradictions to my concept)Gradually, the earth cooled down and the temperature decreased. It believes that, these phenomena first took place in Pluto, which lies far away from the sun. So, the first planet (?) which showed the favorable conditions for the life may be Pluto. As time passed, the temperature fell down. Then the possibility of existing life was in Neptune, the next planet.

Know Marital Arts
Martial arts is an omnibus term used to designate many different styles of weaponless fighting as well as systems of armed fighting. As the term is now used, it refers only to those fighting styles which developed in Asian countries. It would be more accurate to include among the martial arts the skills which were originally used for combat regardless of the country or region in which they were developed. Fencing, wrestling, boxing and archery are martial arts in exactly the same sense that judo, kendo, karate, aikido and kung fu are martial arts.
Have Positive Attitude
Life gives you only what you want and the reason for all that you are going through in life are purely because you are attracted to it. I say this out of my own experience that whatever I wished for came to me as a gift from nature. This happened because I was attracted to it. At the same time I would say that all the bad things that have happened to me is again because I was attracted to it. Whenever you want to get something you should always think about the positive side of attaining it. Only then you get attracted to the positive side of it and nature gifts it to you. At the same time if you think negatively about something, you tend to get attracted to the negative side of what you want which is what ultimately you get back and things go the wrong way. For instance if you wish to get an apple nature guides you through all ways in order to get an apple but if you happen to think that it is difficult for you to get an apple, then you are attracted to not getting an apple more than wishing for one. This way life takes you through all ways which will prevent you from getting one. So remember to always have a positive approach towards life because the key word to attaining all that you wish is ATTRACTION.

Stranger in Home
We had just shifted to our new house.I was a stranger to a few things.Among them,one was the geyser in the bathroom.My father had told me how to operate the geyser.I would have to open the tap first and then switch on the geyser.And while switching it off,it had to be geyser first,and then the tap.I had to have my bath the next day as usual earl in the morning,still sleepy eyed,I switched on the geyser and waited for hot water.After a while.I noticed smoke coming out of the geyser.I shouted for help.My father came running and switched off the geyser.Since I was very young at that age, I was terrified when I saw the smoke.I knew something was wrong thankfully my father managed to pull me out of the bathroom in time.
About Crab Walking
It's easy for people to move their legs forward or backward. That's because of the way they're attached to the body. People's knees bend towards the front, and that also makes it easy to walk forward. But a crab's legs are attached to the sides of its body. And its joints, unlike our knees, bend so that the crab can walk sideways. That's why crabs walk the way they do. an we do it? Crabs have five legs on each side of their shell. The front pair are for grasping, and remaining four pairs are walking or swimming. Each leg has seven joints, arranged so that the crab walks sideways. Frog crabs and spider crabs however, have legs designed to enable them to walk forward.
