Where will India Play in Quarter finals and Semi Finals<br />
<br />
Well this is one question that many cricket fans would like to know that answer to as tgryvwould be travelling to Australia to witness the ICC cricket world cup 2015.<br />
<br />
As per the new ICC ground allocation norms, if the following teams qualify to quarter finals, it is evident that they will play at the following grounds<br />
<br />
Australia - Adelaide oval<br />
NEw Zealand - Wellington<br />
Sri Lanka - Sydney<br />
England - Melbourne<br />
<br />
With current form of teams, it looks evident that india will top Pool A and England would be position 4 in pool B,<br />
Ensuring that India plays England in Melbourne.<br />
<br />
So India will Play England in Melbourne<br />
<br />
Now for Semi Finals<br />
<br />
As india is expected to play the AUSTRALIA v/s south Africa, again as per norms, Australia or its opponent is sceduked to play at Sydney<br />
<br />
So if all goes well, India plays Sa/Aus in Sydney for Semi finals<br />
<br />
So happy ticketing...!!</div>

Spotting shapes in clouds is a delightful way to pass a lazy afternoon. There's even a society dedicated to cloud spotting. It’s called the <a href="http://cloudappreciationsociety.org/" style="color: #1c48ea; outline: none; text-decoration: none;">Cloud Appreciation Society</a>, founded by Gavin Pretor-Pinney to foster understanding and appreciation of clouds, and to fight “blue sky thinking”.</div>

A clear blue sky has always been associated with good, happy weather – a perfect summer’s day, while cloudy skies are regarded as a metaphor for doom. Nothing could be more depressing, it seems, than to have ‘a cloud on the horizon’. Gavin Pretor-Pinney decided that this has to stop. “Someone needs to stand up for the clouds”, he says. So in 2004, he started the Cloud Appreciation Society and few months later launched a website. People sent in their cloud photograph, which he put up on the gallery pages for others to look at. The early trickle of submission soon swelled to a torrent. Today, it has over 29,000 members worldwide from 83+ different countries, and many thousands of amazing images.</div>

Gigantic Snow Wall Along Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, Japan</h3>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px; line-height: 21.988636016845703px;">
The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is a unique and spectacular route through the Northern Japan Alps, which is traversed by various means of transportation, including cable cars, trolley buses and a ropeway. The route is particularly famous for the high snow walls that line some of its roads in spring.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px; line-height: 21.988636016845703px;">
The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route was completed in 1971, and connects Toyama City in Toyama Prefecture with Omachi Town in Nagano Prefecture. The route was carefully built so that the surrounding environment is not damaged. Consequently, three lines go entirely under tunnels; among them, two are trolleybus lines. Trolleybuses have all gone from Japan, except for these two lines which are still used here as they don't exhaust gas.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px; line-height: 21.988636016845703px;">
The route goes through Tateyama in the Hida Mountains with a lot of scenic sites, including Kurobe dam. The section between Kurobe Dam and Ōgisawa was originally made for construction of the dam, while the section between Tateyama and Kurobeko was for tourists from the beginning. Currently, the route is purely a sightseeing one, only used by tourists. The main attraction that draws the crowd to this route is the magnificent scenery of the Tateyama Mountain Range, part of the Chubu Sangaku National Park. The 20 meter high snow corridor is a highlight during spring, while alpine flowers and autumn colors attract hikers during the summer and autumn.</div>

Along the route, some stations have hotels around them that are used as bases for mountain climbing or trekking.</div>

Frozen Trees of the Arctic: Photography by Niccolò Bonfadini</h3>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px; line-height: 21.988636016845703px;">
<a href="http://www.niccolobonfadini.com/" style="color: #1c48ea; outline: none; text-decoration: none;">Niccolò Bonfadini</a> is a young photographer living in Monza, in the northern part of Italy. Since he was a child he has always been fascinated by Nature. Some years ago he discovered his passion for photography and since then he has started traveling intensively with his camera. For him nothing is more fulfilling that being out in the wilderness witnessing a sunrise or a starry sky. Photography motivates him to get out into Nature more often, experiencing conditions and places that he wouldn’t probably have witnessed otherwise. Recently he has started collaborating with a group of talented photographer for the “Wildvisions Nature Photography” Project.</div>

In one of Bonfadini's recent series titled “Sentinels of the Arctic”, the photographer captured images of snow covered landscape in Finnish Lapland during last winter where temperatures ranging from -40 to –15 degrees centigrade can completely engulf trees in solid ice.</div>

“That morning I slept in my tent to watch the sun rise from the top of a hill; an eerie mist was forming around the trees, enhancing the mysterious atmosphere”, said Niccolò Bonfadini.</div>

One of his pictures was selected as a photo of the day published at APOD-NASA, a project run by NASA along with the Michigan Tech University.</div>

Fantastic Condo Wave Cloud Hits Florida Coast</h3>

Helicopter pilot J.R. Hott captured these breathtaking images showing low-lying clouds swooping over the high-rise buildings lining the beaches of Panama City in Florida. At a glance, it appears as though a tsunami is poised to crash over the city.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px; line-height: 21.988636016845703px;">
Meteorologist Dan Satterfield <a href="http://blogs.agu.org/wildwildscience/2012/02/06/condo-wave-clouds/" style="color: #1c48ea; outline: none; text-decoration: none;">explains</a> the phenomenon:</div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px; line-height: 21.988636016845703px; margin: 20px;">
Cool air offshore was very nearly at the saturation point, with a temperature near 20ºC and a dew point of about 19.5ºC. The air at this temperature can only hold a certain amount of water vapour, and how much it can hold depends heavily on the temperature. If you add more water into the air, a cloud will form, but you can also get a cloud to form by cooling the air. Drop the temperature, and it can no long hold as much water vapour, so some of it will condense out and a cloud will form.<br />
In this case, the air was cooled by lifting it about 50 meters over the top of the condos. A parcel of unsaturated air will cool when lifted at a rate of 1ºC per 100 meters. In this case, it probably cooled about 0.5 degrees C, but that was all it took! On the back side of the condos, the air slowly sinks back down and warms at the same rate. As it warms the air can hold more water vapour and the cloud evaporates and disappears!</blockquote>

J.R. Hott, the owner of <a href="http://www.panhandlehelicopter.com/" style="color: #1c48ea; outline: none; text-decoration: none;">Panhandle Helicopters</a>, says that he sees this effect a few times a year. This one was one of the best, because many times it fogs in before he can get his chopper in the air to grab a snap.</div>

American sculptor and artist <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fairchildart" rel="nofollow" style="color: #1c48ea; outline: none; text-decoration: none;">Kim Burke</a> loves to create 1/12th scale miniatures of<a href="http://www.amusingplanet.com/search?q=food" style="color: #1c48ea; outline: none; text-decoration: none;">food</a> from polymer clay. Her food sculptures look amazingly realistic.

Rebuilt World Trade Center Becomes New York's Tallest Skyscraper</h3>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px; line-height: 21.988636016845703px;">
Eleven years after the shocking terrorist attack on the World Trade Center (WTC) building in New York, the U.S., reconstruction at the World Trade Center site is now well underway but not after years of delay and controversy. The new complex will include One World Trade Center formerly known as the Freedom Tower, 7 World Trade Center, three other high-rise office buildings, a museum and memorial, and a transportation hub similar in size to Grand Central Terminal.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px; line-height: 21.988636016845703px;">
As construction continues, the rebuilt One World Trade Center has quickly become a prominent fixture in the New York City skyline, overtaking the Empire State Building to become New York's tallest skyscraper this week at 1,271 feet. The milestone is a preliminary one. Workers are still adding floors to the Freedom Tower, and it isn’t expected to reach its full height for at least another year, at which point will be the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and the third-tallest building in the world by pinnacle height, with its spire reaching a symbolic 1,776 feet.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px; line-height: 21.988636016845703px;">
However, its overall roof height, at 1,368 feet will still be 82 feet shorter than the roof of Chicago's 108-story Willis Tower. The building's structure is expected to top out sometime in late spring or early summer of 2012, whereupon its 408-foot radio antenna will be installed. At an estimated cost of $3.8 billion, the tower is also the most expensive single building in the world at the moment.</div>

The 104-story tall skyscraper is being constructed in the northwest corner of the 16-acre World Trade Center site, occupying the location where the original 8-story 6 World Trade Center once stood.</div>

World’s Largest Swimming Pool</h3>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px; line-height: 21.988636016845703px;">
The swimming pool at the San Alfonso del Mar resort in Algarrobo, Chile holds the record of being the largest in the world. At 1,012 meters (3,324 ft) in length and a total area of 8 hectares (19.77 acres), it is larger than 20 Olympic-size pools and six-times bigger than its closest competitor, the Orthlieb Pool in Casablanca, Morocco. It also holds the Guinness World Record for being the world's deepest swimming pool in the world with the deeper end at 115 feet.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px; line-height: 21.988636016845703px;">
The pool opened in December 2006 after nearly five years of construction work and is said to have set developers back as much as £1billion. It takes a further £2million a year to keep it in working order.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.63636302947998px; line-height: 21.988636016845703px;">
The enormous man-made pool sucks water directly in from the sea using a computer-controlled suction and filtration system. Water is pumped from the ocean into the pool where the sun warms it to 26C - nine degrees higher than the sea. The pool holds 250 million liters (66 million gallons) of water and is navigable in small boats. Its turquoise waters are so crystal clear that you can see the bottom even in the deep end.</div>

In one of the courtyards of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, is a swimming pool framed by a limestone deck. When seen from the deck, the pool appears to be filled with deep, shimmering water. In fact, however, a layer of water only some 10 centimeters deep is suspended over transparent glass. Below the glass is an empty space with aquamarine walls that viewers can enter.</div>

<h3 class="post-title entry-title" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 26px; line-height: 30px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Oymyakon, the Coldest Inhabited Place on Earth</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">
Oymyakon is a small village located in the north-eastern Russian Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). It is commonly considered the coldest populated place on Earth. Situated in the heart of Siberia an area nicknamed "Stalin's Death Ring" (a former destination for political exiles), Oymyakon boasts an average winter temperature of -45C, with a one-time world record low of -71.2C. Ironically, Oymyakon means "non-freezing water", situated as it is to a nearby hot spring.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">
Before the 1920s and 30s, Oymyakon was a seasonal stop for reindeer herders. But the Soviet government, in its efforts to settle nomadic populations, claiming they were difficult to control and technologically and culturally backward, made the site a permanent settlement. Today, the village is home to some 500 people, and until recently had a single hotel with no hot water and outside toilet. While a flurry of snow in Western Europe can cause schools there to close for days, Oymyakon's solitary school shuts only when temperatures fall below –52C.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">
<img alt="oymyakon-1" border="0" height="592" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-a8y5lINa7Yo/T6qkpe3eMaI/AAAAAAAAXCY/Rr07aoD_X8o/oymyakon-1%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="oymyakon-1" width="790" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">
Most homes in Oymyakon still burn coal and wood for heat and enjoy few modern conveniences. There is no mobile coverage in Oymyakon and even if did, it would be unusable as most electronics stop working in freezing temperatures.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">
Fur is considered a luxury in the West but it is the only thing that keeps you warm. Nothing grows here so all people eat is reindeer and horsemeat. There is a short summer season during which people can grow things, but for the most part people don't eat fruit or vegetables. Medics say the reason they don't suffer from malnutrition is that there must be lots of micronutrients in their animals' milk. A single shop provides the town's provisions and with jobs in short supply most locals resort to reindeer-breeding, hunting and ice-fishing for their livelihoods.</div>
<a href="" name="more" style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"></span><div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">
Life in Oymyakon is tough. Pen ink freezes. Batteries lose power faster. Metal sticks to skin. Cars cannot be started without lighting a bonfire beneath the fuel tank. Axle grease also freezes and is warmed with a blowtorch. The local power station burns coal to keep hot water flowing to the homes. When coal deliveries are irregular the power station starts burning wood. If the power ceases, the town shuts down in about five hours, and the pipes freeze and crack.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">
Another problem posed by frigid temperature is burying of dead bodies. It takes two or three days to dig a grave in frozen ground. To dig a grave, a bonfire is lit for a couple of hours, which allows the ground to thaw a little. The hot coals are then pushed to the side and a hole couple of inches deep is dug. The process is repeated for several days until the hole is deep enough to bury the coffin.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">
There is not much to do in Oymyakon, but that doesn’t stop travel companies from offering tours to the village in the middle of winter. Tourists make the journey simply to experience what it’s like to be in a place that cold. In addition, they are often taken on tours of local farms and museums and get to experience ice fishing. And there’s always an opportunity to take a dip in Oymyakon’s hot spring when the air temperature is in the minus-fifties Celsius.</div>

Since its opening in 2004, it has become a true hot spot in town: deep blue swimming pool, wooden boardwalks, an open-air bar, with a stunning view. Each year between November and March the entire area is covered by a translucent shell and transformed into an enclosed wellness area. The Badeschiff was created by local artist, Susanne Lorenz, as an art project organized by the City Art Project Society of Berlin. The pool was converted from the hull of a vessel measuring eight by thirty-two metres.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">
Antarctica is covered with ice, but not all of it. The McMurdo Dry Valleys is almost entirely snow free. Located among mountains by McMurdo Sound, on the part of Antarctica closest to New Zealand, the valleys receive the equivalent of only 10 cm of water, on average, each year in the form of snow. Completely devoid of terrestrial vegetation, the region is considered one of the most extreme deserts and the driest place on the planet. At 4,800 square kilometers, the valleys constitute around 0.03% of the continent, and form the largest ice-free region in Antarctica.</div>

The Dry Valleys are so different from the rest of the continent because of its location. The Valleys are nestled between the mile-high Transantarctic Mountains which block seaward flowing ice from the East Antarctic ice sheet from reaching the Ross Sea. Several tongue-like glaciers creep through the gaps, but any ice that breaks off of the glaciers quickly goes from solid to vapor in the arid atmosphere. The unique conditions in the Dry Valleys are also caused, in part, by katabatic winds; these occur when cold, dense air is pulled downhill by the force of gravity. The winds can reach speeds of 320 kilometers per hour, heating as they descend, and evaporating all water, ice and snow.</div>

Initially, the Dry Valleys were thought to be lifeless. Not surprisingly, explorer Robert Scott, who discovered the Valleys in 1903, looked over one of them and called it “a valley of death.” But Scott was wrong.</div>

Researchers have discovered that the Dry Valleys are home to a variety of extremophiles (organisms that live in extreme environments). Among them are lichen and mosses, communities of microbes (including cyanobacteria), and nematodes (microscopic worms). These organisms have undergone profound changes that allow them to survive in one of the most punishing environments on the planet.</div>

Bacteria have been found living in the Dry Valleys, sheltered from the dry air in the relatively moist interior of rocks. Anaerobic bacteria whose metabolism is based on iron and sulfur live in sub-freezing temperatures under the Taylor Glacier, staining red the ice emerging at <a href="http://www.amusingplanet.com/2010/11/secret-of-blood-falls-of-antarctica.html" style="color: #1c48ea; outline: none; text-decoration: none;">Blood Falls</a></div>

Scientists consider the Dry Valleys perhaps the closest of any terrestrial environment to the planet Mars, and thus an important source of insights into possible extraterrestrial life.</div>

The wind and the gritty groundcover mix, together sculpt some of the rocks into smooth, oddly shaped formations called ventifacts. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/alaskaphilip/3083368331/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #1c48ea; outline: none; text-decoration: none;">Photo credit</a></div>
