Color has a tremendous effect on our mind and body. Energy derived from sunshine is contained in colors. The beauty of nature changes every hour, every day, every year. Every color of nature is a friend of the creature, just need to patiently learn, understand, and assimilate the silent language of nature. See in the open space, how nature has woven the fabric of colors, how beautifully it has mixed one shade of colors with another. The sky's blueness is so peaceful and so filled with feeling of being paved. How cool and satisfying is the greenery of the earth. The beauty of golden and redness of sunrise and sunset time is unique in itself. Ever since human civilization was born, humans have been familiar with the importance of beauty and beautiful colors. Humans have been using colors in their costumes and in decorating their homes. His green village and city with colorful houses was pleasurable for humans. But as the human progressed, the use of gray and gray colors in modern cities increased, the cities took the form of cement-concrete jungle and the human began to grow dull, sad. If you are wishing for good health and happiness, then include colors in your life. If you are tired, sad or angry then you understand that you are surrounded by wrong colors, immediately use calm, encouraging colors and experience a change in behavior. Make life colorful, color is an essential requirement of life. What is colorless and innocent life? In popular proverbs and idioms, colors are used to denote different moods of a person, such as blue, yellow, hands yellow, eyes red, eyes dark green, green, changing color, colorful mood, black , Soot, black to white, wounds turn green, paper black, old mare red halter, red, fly color, dissolve in color, etc. A person's emotions are manifested by color, and colors can also change their emotions. रंग हमारे दिमाग और शरीर पर अत्यधिक प्रभाव डालता है।सूर्य से प्राप्त उर्जा रंगों में समाहित होती है।प्रकृति का सौन्दर्य हर घण्टे, हर दिन, हर वर्ष परिवर्तित होता रहता है। प्रकृति का हर रंग प्राणी का मित्र है बस आवश्यकता है धैर्यपूर्वक प्रकृति की मूक भाषा को सीखनेे, समझने, और आत्मसात करने की । खुली जगह में देखें, प्रकृति ने कैसे रंगों का ताना बाना बुना है रंगों के एक शेड को दूसरे शेड से कितनी सुन्दरता के साथ मिलाया है । आसमान का नीलापन कितना शान्तिदायक है और कितने प्रशस्त होने की भावना से ओत प्रोत है। पृथ्वी की हरीतिमा कैसी शीतल और तुष्टि प्रदायनी है। सुर्योदय और सूर्यास्त के समय का सुनहरापन और लालिमा का सौंदर्य अपने आप में अनूठापन लिए है । जबसे मानव सभ्यता का जन्म हुआ तभी से मनुष्य शोख और सुन्दर रंगों के महत्व से परिचित है। मनुष्य रंगों का प्रयोग अपने परिधानों में और अपने घरों को सजाने- संवारने में करता रहा है। मानव के लिए रंग बिरंगे घरों वाला उसका हरियाला गांव और नगर उसके लिए आनन्ददायक होता था। लेकिन जैसे जैसे मानव ने तरक्की की वैसे वैसे आधुनिक नगरों में भूरे, ग्रे रंगों का प्रयोग बढ़ा, नगरों ने सीमेंट-कंक्रीट के जंगल का रूप ले लिया और मानव में नीरसता, उदासी बढ़ने लगी। अच्छे स्वास्थ्य और प्रसन्नता की कामना कर रहे हो तो रंगों को अपने जीवन में शामिल कर लिजीए। आप थके हों, उदास हो या क्रोधित हो तब आप समझ लें कि आप गलत रंगों से घिरे है तुरन्त शान्त, उत्साहवर्धक रंगों का प्रयोग करें और व्यवहार में परिवर्तन अनुभव करें ।जीवन को रंगारंग बनायें, रंग जीवन की अनिवार्य आवश्यकता है। बेरंग और बेनूर जीवन किस काम का? प्रचलित कहावतों और मुहावरों में रंगों को व्यक्ति के अलग अलग मनोभावों को दर्शाने के लिए किया जाता है जैसे- नीला पीला होना, हाथ पीले करना, आँख्ेंा लाल होना, सावन के अंधे को हरा हरा दिखाई देना, रंग बदलना, रंगीन मिज़ाज, काला पड़ना, कालिख पोतना, काले से सफेद करना, घाव हरे होना, कागज काला करना, बूढ़ी घोड़ी लाल लगाम, लाल होना, रंग उड़ना, रंग में भंग करना आदि। रंग से व्यक्ति के मनोभाव प्रकट होते है और रंगों से ही मनोभावों को परिवर्तित भी किया जा सकता है।

In this engagement with Eric Magrane’s article, ‘Climate Geopolitics (The Earth is a Composted Poem)’, I follow two provocations: first, geopoetics as travelling through disciplinary turfs, and second, geopoetics as storytelling. Coming from a disciplinary trajectory that spent a long stop at international relations (IR), these provocations attach me to geopoetics as practice and a growing field. My engagement here is oriented to geopoetics not only at the threshold of geography and the arts and humanities, but also the intersections of geography and politics. I primarily propose that viewing geopoetics as an open space for experimenting allows for disrupting masterful understandings of the academic self and counters a univocal, universal narrative of the world.

The present research studies the motion of a particle or a spacecraft that comes from an orbit around the Sun, which can be elliptic or hyperbolic, and that makes a passage close enough to the Earth such that it crosses its atmosphere. The idea is to measure the Sun-particle two-body energy before and after this passage in order to verify its variation as a function of the periapsis distance, angle of approach, and velocity at the periapsis of the particle. The full system is formed by the Sun, the Earth, and the particle or the spacecraft. The Sun and the Earth are in circular orbits around their center of mass and the motion is planar for all the bodies involved. The equations of motion consider the restricted circular planar three-body problem with the addition of the atmospheric drag. The initial conditions of the particle or spacecraft (position and velocity) are given at the periapsis of its trajectory around the Earth.

Ayurveda medicine exists on the planet for the benefit of humanity. Ayurveda's value is in its ability to maintain individual health and treat a patient's condition. Following the daily routine, seasonal regimen, codes for healthy behaviour, ethical regimen, and so on, one can obtain good health. Plants are the foundation of Ayurveda, an an- cient Indian system of holistic treatment. Mustaka (Cyperus rotundus Linn) is described as ‘Kyambu’ in the Vedic literature, its synonyms like ‘Gundra & Gangeyam’ denotes the hydrophytic nature of this plant. Mustaka can be used to treat a variety of ailments. It is a significant herbal medication that may be utilised in a variety of ways to treat a variety of illnesses, mostly in the Kapha-Pitta dosha. Acharya Charaka has emphasised that each sub- stance on the earth is useful in combating illness when applied with planning and for a specific purpose. Keywords: Ayurveda, Mustaka, Kyambu, Kapha, Pitta.

The subjects of these observations were five individuals—four females, one male—all natives of Ceylon, of its south-east salubrious coast, and the children of coloured parents.They are described by the author as well made, as having good health, and, though all coming under the denomination of Albinos, on account of their unusual fairness, yet as varying in degree, the lightest having red eyes and almost white hair; the less light, blue eyes and light-brown hair, with a complexion that in this country would be considered merely that of a pure blonde.

The variation and uncertainty of the dip, in different states of the air, taken at the same altitude above the level of the sea, was the occasion of my turning my thoughts to this subject; as it renders the latitude observed incorrect, by giving an erroneous zenith distance of a celestial object. I have often observed that low lands and the extremity of head lands or points, forming an acute angle with the horizon of the sea, and viewed from a distance beyond it, appear elevated above it, with an open space between the land and the sea. The most remarkable instance of this appearance of the land I observed at Macao, for several days previous to a typhoon, in which the Locko lost her topmasts in Macao roads; the points of the islands and low lands appearing the highest, and the spaces between them and the sea the largest, I ever saw. I believe it arises, and is proportional to the evaporation going on from the sea; and in reflecting upon this phænomenon, I am convinced that those appearances must arise from refraction, and that instead of the density of the atmosphere increasing to the surface of the sea, it must decrease from some space above it; and that evaporation is the principal cause which prevents the uniformity of density and refraction being continued, by the general law, down to the surface of the earth: and I am inclined to believe, though I mention it here as a conjecture, that the difference of specific gravity in the particles of the atmosphere may be a principal agent in evaporation; for the corpuscles of air, from their affinity with water, being combined at the surface of the fluid from expansion, form air specifically lighter than the drier atmosphere; and therefore float, or rise, from that principle, as steam from water; and in their rising (the surrounding corpuscles from the same cause imbibing a part of the moisture), become continually drier as they ascend, yet continue ascending until they become equally dense with the air. However, these conjectures I shall leave, and proceed to the following observations upon refractions.

Bron Taylor defines dark green religion as: �� a deep sense of belonging to and connectedness in nature, whilst perceiving the earth and its living systems to be sacred and interconnected�. It not only emphasises a felt kinship with the rest of life but also evokes awe, wonderment and humility towards nature that binds to something �greater than oneself�. Do the intimate �oneness� and living in the moment of the two young lovers in the Song also extend to a diminishing of the self and an experience of oneness with a greater, timeless, mysterious reality? In order to determine whether the Song of Songs complies with a form of nature spirituality, the notions of belonging, interconnectedness and sacredness were investigated as they appear in this ancient book of love. It was found that the Song is representative of a form of dark green religion of a non-doctrinaire, immanent kind. It exhibits ubiquitously the notions of belonging and connection (kinship with nature, an interconnectedness and interdependency of the web of life) and the sacredness of the earth and its inhabitants (their intrinsic worth that evokes awe, wonderment and humility). The experience of sensuality, living mindfully in the moment, transforms into a timeless spirituality of connection to �another, mysterious world�.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The relevance of reader-oriented appreciations of biblical texts, notably ecological hermeneutics, is demonstrated; this approach can also be extended to other sacred texts apart from the Bible; furthermore, it points to the need for the ongoing dialogue with the natural sciences.Keywords: dark green religion; nature spirituality; belonging;interconnectedness; sacredness; Song of Songs

We propose that the photochemical smog mechanism produced substantial ozone (O3) in the troposphere during the Proterozoic period, which contributed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation shielding, and hence favoured the establishment of life. The smog mechanism is well established and is associated with pollution hazes that sometimes cover modern cities. The mechanism proceeds via the oxidation of volatile organic compounds such as methane (CH4) in the presence of UV radiation and nitrogen oxides (NOx). It would have been particularly favoured during the Proterozoic period given the high levels of CH4 (up to 1000 ppm) recently suggested. Proterozoic UV levels on the surface of the Earth were generally higher compared with today, which would also have favoured the mechanism. On the other hand, Proterozoic O2 required in the final step of the smog mechanism to form O3 was less abundant compared with present times. Furthermore, results are sensitive to Proterozoic NOx concentrations, which are challenging to predict, since they depend on uncertain quantities such as NOx source emissions and OH concentrations. We review NOx sources during the Proterozoic period and apply a photochemical box model having methane oxidation with NOx, HOx and Ox chemistry to estimate the O3 production from the smog mechanism. Runs suggest the smog mechanism during the Proterozoic period can produce approximately double the present-day ozone columns for NOx levels of 1.53×10−9 by volume mixing ratio, which was attainable according to our NOx source analysis, with 1% of the present atmospheric levels of O2. Clearly, forming ozone in the troposphere is a trade-off for survivability – on the one hand, harmful UV radiation is blocked, but on the other hand ozone is a respiratory irratant, which becomes fatal at concentrations exceeding about 1 ppmv.

Health of mind and body is so fundamental to the good life that if we believe that men have any personal rights at all as human beings, then they have an absolute moral right to such a measure of good health as society and society alone is able to give them. —Aristotle, Politics

From year to year the population of the earth is growing. Industrialization and modern life attract more and more people into cities. Modern technologies in construction and architecture allow more people to live on a smaller area, ie. population density increases in large cities. The overhauling of major cities around the world and the impossibility of endlessly expanding physical boundaries leads to vertical expan-sion. Quite naturally, vegetation, as an unmoved companion of man, will also go in a vertical direction in future cities.
