Deference between Internal Hard Drive & External Hard Drive

Internal Hard Drive and External Hard Drive are storage devices used in computer systems. A hard drive is the term used for the physical device that is a part of every computer used to store data. This hard drive is essential for every computer system to house the operating system, program files and the data that is required by the user. Every computer comes fitted with an internal hard drive which comes in different capacities ranging from GB (gigabytes) to TB (Terabytes). Normally, this device is internal but there is an option and liberty for the user to use additional storage devices that have come to be known as external hard drives.

Normally if the computer has enough storage space, there is no need for an external hard drive but because of threats from the internet to the data, many people have started using these external hard drives. External hard drives also give the liberty to carry data from one place to another and to allow for sharing of data from one computer to another thus becoming very popular. Many members of a family use the same computer system posing threat of corruption to data inadvertently. Above all, the advent of HD video files has meant that people like to keep large amount of video data in their systems necessitating external hard drive.

The blue whale

STATUS:

Endangered

DESCRIPTION:

The blue whale is the largest animal ever to inhabit the Earth. This gentle giant has grayish-blue skin with light spots. It has about 300 to 400 baleen plates instead of teeth which it uses to strain food from the ocean water.

SIZE:

Measuring 70 to 80 feet in length (the longest recorded length was 106 feet), blue whales can weigh as much as 90 to 150 tons. The female is larger than the male.

POPULATION:

1,300 to 2,000, the population of blue whales is dangerously low.

LIFESPAN:

The lifespan of a blue whale is estimated to be 80 years.

HABITAT:

Blue whales are found throughout the world's oceans.

FOOD:

A blue whale can eat up to 7,715 pounds of krill (small shrimp-like organisms) per day!

BEHAVIOR:

Blue whales swim 14 miles per hour (with bursts as fast as 30 mph) and feed at depths of less than 330 feet (but can dive as deep as 1,640 feet). Dives last from 10 to 20 minutes. Usually they travel alone or in small groups of two to four, although off the coast of California some groups as large as 60 have been seen.

OFFSPRING:

Sexual maturity is reached between 5 to 10 years. Females give birth every two to three years to one calf. Gestation is 10 to 12 months; average calf is 23 feet long and weighs 4,440 pounds. A calf is fed by its mother for seven to eight months.

HISTORY:

Blue whales once were considered too difficult to hunt because of their speed and size. With the introduction of factory ships and the harpoon gun in the 1920s, blue whales were hunted intensively. By the 1960s they were nearly extinct.

THREATS:

Blue whales face threats from entanglement in fishing nets, pollution, and illegal whaling.

Does drinking plenty of water help in weight loss?

You probably know that water is essential for weight loss, but are you really putting water to work for you toward your goal of a gorgeous, healthy, thin body and radiant health?

Most people walk around dehydrated. In fact, many experts say that by the time you feel thirst, you are already dehydrated, so the one glass of water that you might drink then probably isn't enough. Also, when you're thirsty, do you reach for pure water? Or do you reach for high calorie concoction; something with high fructose corn syrup (nightmare for weight loss), sugar, a diuretic such as alcohol or something with caffeine that takes water out of your body?

 

Perhaps you choose an artificially sweetened beverage that unbeknownst to you is triggering an insulin response in your body and encouraging your body to store fat even though you're drinking something with zero calories. No wonder the numbers don't add up at the end of the day!

Another problem you might encounter is that when you don't drink enough water, it's easy to mistake the body's thirst signal as a signal for hunger, and mistakenly use food to try to quench what is actually thirst. When that doesn't work, you might reach for even more food, yet continue to feel unsatisfied.

Water is also a powerful ally in calming hunger pangs between your scheduled meals and supporting snacks. Foods with a high water content, such as fresh vegetables, are a great compliment to the other nutrient dense low-glycemic foods in your meals.

Also, water plays an important role in eliminating toxins from your body. It also plays a powerful role in eliminating stored fat. If you're not getting enough water, your body can't physically eliminate the fat you're trying so hard to lose, so following your doctor's recommended daily intake of water is a great way to support your weight loss.

How much water do you need? If you're not sure, the best thing to do is consult with your doctor or primary health care provider. Many nutritional experts recommend one ounce for every pound of body weight as a baseline. For example, a person who weighs 150 pounds would require 75 ounces of water a day, more in hot weather or when exercising.

Notice this is more than the general 64 ounces, or eight glasses we often hear about. But again, I am not a nutritionist or physician, so please consult your doctor.
