Will Proton Be Successful In Competing Sedan?

It is probably known fact that Proton has entered into electric car market after seeing the tremendous response for the Tesla’a Sedan. But will be it a potential competitor for the Sedan? And will releasing the car much before Tesla - will help it lead the market? Or teaming up with a Malaysian-based Detroit Electric will help it enhance its pressure over Tesla?

All these questions aroused in my mind when Proton announced its release of an all-electric family car into the market. Proton has got into the market after a good amount of survey and research on the electric car market in the US. It says US electric car market is expected to be as big as 120,000 cars a year. It says the demand is similar with the Europe market too. It has analyzed to capture an initial market of 40,000 cars.

With this confidence, it projects to sell around 270,000 electric cars by 2013 in countries all around the world.

The price of the cars seems to be more tempting than that of Tesla’s. Proton cars were announced to range between US$23,000 to US$26,000 for the city range model and US$28,000 to US$33,000 for the extended range model. Tesla’s Model-S Sedan is priced at $57,400 ($49,900 after tax credits).

How to Grow Strawberries in Your Garden

I love to eat strawberries. I grow them in my garden. There is no comparison in taste between one you brought from shop, and one from your garden. You can grow these plants in hanging pots, and containers as well as in soil. Different types of the strawberries are available. Choose the most appropriate one, according to the soil.

June bearing strawberry is a single crop plant, and can bear strawberries in about two to three weeks in spring. It is feasible to enjoy the taste of these strawberries in any season. Everbearing strawberries produce crop for two to three times in a growing season, and day neutral strawberry produces through out the full season like from spring, summer, and a fall. Day neutral strawberry is available in small.

Grow strawberry plant in a sandy type soil with full of organic matter, and ph level should be from 5.8 to 6.2. It is better to plant them in spring. Gardener should take little care while growing the strawberries. Timely watering is very important for growing healthy strawberry crop.

Sneeze with Your Eyes Open

One of the most impractical things is sneezing with your eyes open wide. Sneeze is very common reflection of a human body to allergy or some unwanted stimulation inside your nose.

When you sneeze air particles from your mouth and nose come out at a rate of around 100 miles per hour. When something unwanted enters your nose, it stimulates and irritates the nerve cells present in your nose. Immediately the irritating sense is sense is sent to brain which activates tracheal and pharyngeal muscles. They create a large opening in the nasal cavity and release air with a powerful acceleration. Thus resulting in a sneeze.

There are certain people called photic sneezers who sneeze as soon as they get exposed to bright light.

Many hate to sneeze when they are in crowd because it is considered as bad human morale. The fact is that sneeze has possibilities to transfer microbes from one person to another.

When you have a sneezing sensation in crowd, try tickling the upper part of your mouth with tip of your tongue, to stop it.

New Atlas to Size up The Earth

We have now the world’s biggest book. This giant book is an atlas with just 580 pages. But this book weighs around 30 kilos. This atlas named Earth is published by an Australian Company.

I wondered what information or how much information they could fit in just 580 pages. But the publisher assures it as the best atlas ever produced. In its 580 pages they have encrypted 154 maps and 800 photographs. This giant book measures around 6X4 feet and weighs around 30 kilos, making it hard to anyone that wants to roam around with this book.

This book is available in only 3000 copies and the publisher promises to destroy printing plates after publishing all the 3000 copies. But the cost of this book is as big as its weight. It costs you around $3500 to buy a leather back book and if you want to buy it in golden version you will have to spend, around $5500. Thus this book is more luxury than a knowledge parting book.
