Selfie And Selca



Hallo sobat !
Admin lagi mood buat ngepost nih…
Lanjuuut….


Oke! Mungkin teman-teman reader pernah dengar kata ‘selfie’ atau ‘selca’ kan? Mungkin yang belum tau agak merasa asing juga sih… awalnya admin juga kayak gitu… tapi sekarang admin tahu deh!!

Selfie adalah istilah untuk memotret diri sendiri menggunakan handphone, webcam, atau pun camera. Atau biasa disebut narsis. Pada tahun 2013, kata selfie secara resmi tercantum dalam Oxford English Dictionary versi daring, dan bulan November 2013, Oxford Dictionary menobatkan kata ini sebagai Word of the Year tahun 2013, dan menyatakan bahwa kata ini berasal dari Australia. Pose yang digunakan umumnya bersifat kasual, dan diambil dengan menggunakan kamera yang diarahkan ke diri sendiri, atau bisa juga melalui cermin. Selfie pertama kali dilakukan oleh Putri Kekaisaran Rusia, bernama Anastasia Nikolaevna. Awal penggunaan kata selfie terjadi pada tahun 2002. Kata ini pertama kali muncul dalam sebuah forum Internet  Australia (ABC Online) pada tanggal 13 September 2002.
Oh ya!! Selfie itu lebih dikenal di kalangan orang barat. Kalo di Korea itu lebih dikenal dengan Selca. Pengertiannya sama aja sih sebenarnya. Jadi gak perlu di ulas lagi. Nah, sekarang Selfie&Selca ini sudah mendunia lho!! Semua kalangan gemar melakukannya, mulai dari selebriti, bahkan sampai rakyat jelata sekali pun (>,<!! Eh… emang dia punya kamera???! Kan rakyat jelata!! Ah ngacok nih..)
Contoh Selfie&Selca :

Orang-orang memang pintar memanfaatkan kesempatan deh kayaknya. Soalnya sekarang sudah ada gadget-gadget pendukung untuk melakukan Selfie&Selca. Contohnya TomSis dan TongSis (kenapa gak sekalian ‘Tongseng’ aja sih…). Aneh-aneh memang teknologi jaman sekarang. Oke ! Lanjuuuut…
TomSis atau Tombol narsis merupakan tombol khusus yang diciptakan sebagai pengganti tombol kamera pada Smartphone Android. TomSis sangat membantu melakukan foto portrait / foto diri sendiri. Jadi gak perlu susah-susah meraba-raba tombol di smartphone sobat. Cukup tekan TomSis jadi deh. Gak perlu susah-susah lagi pake timer segala.
TomSis

TongSis atau tongkat narsis ini lebih hebat dari TomSis. Terdiri dari 2 bagian, tongkat + device holder. Pertama-tama pasangkan holder ke tongkat, terus pasangkan smartphone di device holder, atur jarak foto (memanjangkan-memendekkan tongkat), atur juga sudut kemiringan sesuai keinginan. Nah kalo posisi dan pose-nya udah dirasa oke, tinggal jepret deh!
TongSis
Nah itu dia seputar Selfie&Selca plus TomSis&TongSis. Ketika TomSis&TongSis disatukan maka lahirlah Selfie&Selca. Dan itulah surga bagi orang-orang narsis.

Causes and Effects of Global Warming



Global Warming is an issue of our world at-large. The emission of harmful gases like carbon dioxide and others into the atmosphere makes it difficult to maintain the natural environmental conditions. Despite extensive efforts by the authorities, not enough people realize and act on the importance of avoiding global warming. This is mainly due to the fact that despite the presence of legislation, the implementation has not been done the way it was supposed to and consequently, global warming is still ongoing. The main effects of massive global warming can be witnessed in the form of extended climates. The frequency of floods and hurricanes in the coastal areas around the globe has increased. The temperature extremes are commonplace these days. Similarly, many areas are experiencing droughts and forest fires every now and then.
The change in the atmospheric temperature brings about several artificial changes to the wild animals. The migration pattern of various animals and birds is being adversely affected by global warming as more and more creatures tend to move farther from the equatorial regions. For example, the butterflies and mosquitos are now found in the areas away from their natural habitat. Butterflies as such are not dangerous for human health, however mosquitos may cause malaria which is obviously a fatal disease.
Not only animals, but vegetables are also not safe from the negative effects of global warming. The growth patterns of various flowers and plants have deviated from the natural route. Due to extreme temperatures, the agricultural yield cannot be achieved according to the demand. The physiology of the plants is also affected by the depletion of ozone. The process of photosynthesis is triggered which produces a large number of allergen.
One of the main causes of global warming is the release of many harmful gases into the atmosphere which gives rise to the Greenhouse effect. Due to depletion of the ozone layer, more and more cases of skin cancer have been reported in recent times. The carbon dioxide absorbed by the seawater is released with the decrease in temperature of the waters. Burning fossil fuels, therefore, gives rise to the most serious problems of the modern world. The use of various fuels like petrol and diesel etc is yet another cause of the release of carbon dioxide into the air.
Apart from the medical problems in the shape of various diseases, global warming has far reaching effects on the world economy which has created much hype about the phenomenon. Scientists consider it to be the main cause for the increasing cases of cancers and skin infections. However, they have not been very successful in making their point clear to the masses as they do not feel motivated towards supporting the battle against global warming as a motivator of human civilizations. This entire situation has gotten to such a state that there is a dire need for a plethora of social environmental revolutions around the globe.
