What is up Hot Makers? Welcome to Hot Makes right here on Hot Makes Live. Hopefully you can hear me. Shannon just pulled her earphones out. That means I probably got really loud. Woo! I'm pumped. Oh, welcome to another week. We had both. Both of us had awesome, awesome weekends. We're going to talk about it going forward. There's a ton of people in the chat. We'll get to Murph soon, I promise. Sam Prentice is live with us. Hey, Sam, one of my favorite guys. We found out Sam can hold the full gym this weekend.  We'll talk about that later though. So stick around. We got a ton of cool stuff to talk about. First, don't forget anything we show. There's a link in the description below. So go check that out in the Google Doc episode 107. Which is super awesome. Also, if you feel like donating to the Oreo fund, I got some water. Don't worry. We got this. We got this. There is a link in the description as well. Also, I think Nightbot might be throwing out a PayPal link for that too. I think we're everywhere, right? Everywhere again. So I see some of you guys already popping into Twitch, so that's awesome. We got you guys what? Facebook, YouTube, everything. Make sure you're subbing to the main channel. I didn't pull it this week, but I know we're above 700. So we're inching closer to 1,000. So make sure you guys are subbed on the main channel as well. For sure. And what we're going to do tonight is we're going to start. We're going to start with Shannon because she had a super awesome weekend. Is that a good idea? Yes, yes. I'm so pumped. And then we'll go into talk. Then we'll go into the talk and Walmart Dan or Walmart Joel says he's not familiar with Murph. Or is it Dollar General Joel? I'm not sure which one it was, Dan. But anyways, Shannon, you had an amazing weekend. You got invited somewhere really cool. Tell us about it. And you know what? I'm going to tell you this and you're going to be like, oh, this is so cool. But like guys, it escalated and it's still escalating. And I don't even know what to tell you first. But yeah, so I guess we'll start there. Marvel hit me up a couple of weeks ago and was like, do you want to come out to the Thor premiere? So that's where I was. That's why I was not at Murph. I was in Hollywood on the red carpet for Thor. So that was the thing that happened. I can pull you guys pictures. I was trying to upload them to my phone and it said no to my drive rather. But I'm going to just take you guys on over to my Instagram page in a second here. Yeah, we'll start there. But so all right, guys, here we go. I got to be Nebula. There it is. There we go. So I got to be Nebula. That was fun. Go ahead. You got to dress up like Nebula. And what does a movie premiere invite? What does that mean? What like for us, Lane, what does what does it mean? What did you get to do? So we were just we got to see the movie early and in walk the carpet. So my computer is very slow, but I can kind of pull you guys a like this was a very makeshift video, obviously, but we got to walk and go watch the movie and meet all the actors that were in there. So that was the thing. I have plenty of pictures of that on Instagram. If anybody does want to see that, I don't like wanting that. But like this was Karen Gillan who plays Nebula. And one of my friends who is actually also Nebula was like taking these from across the the carpet, but that's not that is me drinking coffee guys. Sorry about that. But yeah, so so that was really fun. I really, really enjoyed meeting her. She was super sweet. I know this was the friend that was taking that I got to meet her. So she was also dressed as Nebula. This is Amber Skies and she was my inspiration behind like the makeup on Nebula and everything when I first started like constructing her years ago. So it was really cool to finally meet her in person. Super sweet person though. Honestly, like I yeah, she has so much energy and it was it was very nice to finally meet her. We have Thor. There's Chris Hemsworth. I don't want to like plot these. No, no do it. Um, this one, this one's like my favorites. This is Natalie Portman for any Star Wars people. Nice. She came over and was talking to us. So that was very fun. Chris actually, if you guys know Sinister Props that is in here and he's on my stream a lot. So he was my plus one and he brought a Thor hammer and got that signed by like everyone. So she was super sweet. Yeah, I don't, I think he posted it. I can go find it in a minute if you want me to. But yeah, we want to see some Chris. So he dressed up. You invited him as Star Lord, right? Yeah. So guys, sorry for my back and forth on these screens here. But that's okay. Here we go. Because not my phone didn't want to upload everything, but here's Chris. Oh, we don't see him. Oh shoot. Hold up. That's because I'm sharing my, uh, I'm just going to pull his Instagram page because I'm sharing my, uh, ad only. But yeah guys, so they wanted guardians people. So I said, okay, so this was Chris. There we go. This is the picture. I was pulling anyway. No, you got to go. Mm hmm. And he got, uh, he, oh, he got some, some cool stuff there. Looks like you got a lanyard. I think you had one in front of you. Yeah. Oh, here's his, here's his hammer. So that's how we find it and she's in the background there. So that was pretty fun. Um, that's Chris. Tom's worth again, I believe. Uh, but yeah. So I got a lanyard. I did, I am, I don't even know if there's any more cool pictures here really. It was just like, it was chaotic, but I did, I did, um, yeah, we're going to go ahead and just stop sharing my screen for a second. Um, I'll pull it back up, but I got a lanyard. So this is my past. Woo. I'm seeing happy birthdays in the, um, in the, in the chat. Whose birthday was it guys? Uh, how it makes happy, happy belated. Belated. Okay. Yes. Thank you, Polly. Make three. See, I don't want to miss anybody's birthday. It's actually one of my best friends' birthday right now. She is in London celebrating. So that's exciting. Um, but I got, I got Karen to sign like part of Nebula's thing here. So I don't know what I'm going to do with this now. I guess I have to remake Nebula, but that's the thing. Um, and then I told my friends here that cause plays this store that I'd get him something signed. So I got his pop signs. You can kind of see it's like across the corner cause it was flat, but yeah. So that was fun. Um, but it just escalated from there guys. I don't know what happened. I like, I spent a day in Malibu the next day. I don't know if anybody wants to see Malibu. I can show you Malibu again. So, so before we, before we go too far, what's the day in this, this, uh, wait, wait, how does it work? You get up in the morning, you throw some paint on.  Walk us through your day because, cause I'm here. I'm like, how does this all start? Like what do you, how does your day start that day? We started super early. I drove from Malibu to Sine Valley for anybody that's like familiar with California. It's like a half an hour drive in the morning that early. We started at like six in the morning guys and I drove up to go see Danny who was on here the week before Christian Sinister Pops was on insert cat. And we all got ready there. I, it takes me like a couple hours, but I had some off functions. So it was like probably like three to four hours that we were putting that on. It was aggressive and then we stood outside on Hollywood Boulevard for a couple hours in the sun. So it was a really good time, but it was very, very warm. And that's, I mean, that's pretty much all you do. You just kind of like gather with all the other cosplayers, you get to network and meet all these really cool people. There were so many people that I met that like I knew from online. I'm sure you guys experienced this weekend as well. So it was kind of one of those things and you watch the actors come onto the carpet and do their interviews and then they take you in and seven p.m. You watch the movie. So we got to see the movie somehow Chris and I wound up with like crime movie seating. Like, I don't know if it's just when we checked in, but like we were like front row, but like on the second level. So there was like all the space in front of us. Sweet. It was really good and I really encourage everyone to see it. If you like the humor of the third Thor, like it's it's very much so like that it's very good. I liked it a lot. So how did I keep my face from running? I do it. It was splitting like the blog that is like peeling up. So there was like a white like line here and it was really bad. I was very much so ready to get out of it. Like by the time I even stepped onto the carpet, but it's okay. Yeah. Yeah, guys, this is like really bad right now and that is from our hike on the day after my friend and I caught up again. He's like, I've seen him more than like my own family and we live like, you know, the opposite sides of the country, which makes no sense, but it's cool. We went for a mini hike on in Malibu and actually to like the location of where Tony Stark's house is supposed to be. So that was fun and I obviously got very sunburned doing that. Yeah, so I don't want to know what the what the clothing comment is. I don't know guys. So, but I had I had a lot of really cool things happen. I know nobody really wants to listen to me talk anymore. So I'm sorry, but we love it. So, and what's just so it's so cool that, you know, they reached out and said, Hey, do you want to be a part of this? And, you know, through through your hard work in the past, you know, it's kind of paying off now, right? You know, I had this really weird moment. I'm going to get like sad and like start crying on you guys too, because this has been like my up and down for like the past three days. I had a really, really surreal moment. So the next day when my friend and I weren't hanging out, we went, you know, to dinner. We had fun on the beach, Malibu, whatever. And I was like picking his brain the whole time though, right? Because he's he's a producer. He's talent manager in Hollywood. And I'm like, I need I need to ask you these questions. So somehow got like a ton of tips from him and like extended help as I may need it, which I didn't tell you guys, but like telling you guys now. And then the next day, like that's when it all it all attacked me, basically, because I was just sitting there and I got this message from one of his producer friends, right?  Sweet. And I don't know what I don't know. I have to talk to him still to see what the heck is going on guys. But like I sat there and I was like, like I'll have like an IMDb page to like get and it just sunk in that I was like, this has been like like eight or nine years like of this and here we are. And now I don't know what to do with myself. So that's just it's still not settling and I don't think it will. Now the fun thing is I think we want to meet to discuss that and this is very preliminary. So I don't know if this will actually pan out, but that was the initial thought, right? And now this isn't like relative, but it'll be about the same time. Apparently I'm going to San Diego. I somebody just like gifted me a badge. So I'm just going to San Diego Comic Con in three weeks if I can raise money for my flight somehow. So that's what I'm doing. And hopefully we'll discuss that further, but like it's just it's blowing my mind that like I came home and even my parents were like, you need to move. I was like, now you guys understand this. So that was my weekend. Um, that's a lot of talking though. I'm really sorry, but like this is my this is my weekend and I don't know what I'm doing with myself right now, but it's it's very crazy. And I I honestly, there's like a video on my phone of me just sitting there because I was like crying like on the beach in Malibu and I was like, I'm going to document this in case this pans out as like the moment where it all hit me, right? It's really yeah. So that's awesome. That's what happened. Oh, it's it's so cool. And I mean, the experience most have been awesome and it hopefully you know, hopefully everything pans out and you get to do some cool stuff and design some costumes. That'll be really cool. Oh my God. It's it's going to be it's yeah. I have no idea like what exactly is expected, but I'm definitely you know, I said right away like, yes, like let's talk because that is it all came. You know what? What's funny is it came from Arrow. Oh, nice. Yeah. So you so just so everybody knows the thing that that's super cool. So just so everybody has a clear thing of they want to help maybe help get you to to where you're going. So is there anything because I'm like on Facebook like is anybody want me to 3D print some things that you guys don't need that. What I'm thinking is you have your own PayPal setup right or stuff like that. I do where can I find that it is on my website. Okay. I will tell you that right now. I don't like giving that out post posted in the post. Yeah, yeah. It'll be good and then don't don't do don't do super chats here. If you donate to hot makes we will give it to her if you just note it for for Shannon. I'm good with that too, but make sure if you donate straight to her that's even better because then if you do super chats here they take 30% and you know we don't anything is really going to do that. Unfortunately, but you know it is what it is, but it's just been crazy. It's been so like chaotic and I mean you guys just saw the pictures of that night and that was just the kickoff and it's still going. So it's I have no idea what I'm doing right now. It's so good. Well, I mean while you guys I mean while you were you're playing. That's what she said Caleb while you were playing. Caleb's typing us in private chat. Anyways, while you were while you were out in Malibu playing like super awesome. No, no, don't even you guys having a better time. I saw all the pictures. I don't know about better. I don't know about better, but I tell you what we had an amazing time. I'm going to if Caleb's ready, I'll bring him into the stream. So Caleb literally just got home from Murph. He just walked in the door. That's why he's running a late. I he just joined the stream and I'm going to bring him in. We're going to do some Murph talk now. If you were at Murph and you met us, let us know in the chat because I see a lot of familiar faces. Caleb, how's it going? No, there we go. Now you can hear me. There you go. Hi, Sarah. Sarah's back here too. Hi, Sarah. It was it was great to meet you Sarah for the first time. It was so much fun. It was. So we just walked in the door, brought in whatever we hold our hands and like sat down. I was going to say, like there's no way you unpack the car. She brought in more stuff than I did. But so the printer is still in the car and everything. That's awesome. I'm jealous of that. So so for all of you who don't know, like most of you do, we spent the last weekend at Murph, Murph 2022, the Midwest Rep Rep Festival, Goshen, Indiana. And it was an absolute blast. It was busy. It was fun. It was it was busy. It was weather was good this year. And the weather was great this year. Actually a good weather. Last year was terrible. Yeah, we did Sam as he did more than meet me. Sam, if Caleb has the video, I think Sam held the full gym.  So that was that. Also Sam can probably ate about 97 pancakes over the last like week. I'm still dealing with this like voice thing and cough because we talked so much. We had an awesome. Yeah.  There is an expert. Yeah, yeah, the bamboo now. Yes. So there's more about that printer than I do now. Yeah, for sure. We are jealous that you guys got to play with that. We got to go. The floors were dry. Shane says absolutely. Shane, it was great to see again as well. 3D medic Vince. How's it going? Great to see you were there. Whoa. We just got. Huh? You guys want to jump in on YouTube, please? Got it. I don't have access to that. Nailed it. So that was weird. So we were talking. Hey, we'll take it. Anyways, I tell you what, we met some amazing people. The amount of people that wanted to see that thing print the X1 carbon was ridiculous and we kept having to go away from the table. We wanted to walk and film or walk away. Sarah, Sarah was a trooper and she's like, I'm going to stay in here. I'm going to learn everything I can and answer questions. I don't know. She wanted me to write down the most common questions you get so that she would know what you're talking about. And we had to run. So I just did it. So I had to like. No, I just. Yeah. So she opened the website on their website. Nobody asked me those questions. You know, so we had an absolute, the great mystery of the missing 200% Benchy was solved. Yes. Yes. Oh, yeah. The Benchy. This was 350% actually. Yeah. This was the Benchy that printed on the bamboo. How long did that take again? Four hours 40 minutes. So you've got and you can't really see it, but the stringing up in the top here like up underneath this actually is freaking awesome. And I wish I could show that because it's super hard to get in there, but that's the Benchy. We came in Sunday. It was gone. I knew that someone either took it or full of it. So this is printed in full of it. Matt blue from from full of it. And I knew either they had it or someone took it. So he he's he's the had it too. Right. Yeah. But he's brought it back and he was because someone's like, there's no way this stuff doesn't won't print on there. It's not going to look good. And he like, oh yeah. And he walked over and grabbed it and it it looks so good. I think dad. I have my own my own. Yes, you to show off. Yes. The camera can't even focus on it. That was not on the X1 Carbon. Was it who was giving these out? Was it Ethan and Ethan's dad? But there was there were so many good people there. Jan. Oh, I see him. Of course, Sam Prentice amazing dude had a blast with him. I got some fun stories. Well, maybe we'll get into that. Man. Oh, well, okay. So Ethan's dad Marcus, Joel, I mean, it looks like I think earlier Dan said he gave me Dan Adams said he gave me Oreos right before he left. Absolutely. We got the Oreo bag right here and don't worry. I got the water. We're safe. It's all good. I'm sorry. Did you did you show the like survival kit of my dad's? Yeah, I'm just I got it right here. So that's the so Caleb's dad came and he gave me a Murph survival kit. It's a it's a small bag of Oreos, a bottle of water and a grogu cup and this is you know just for emergencies only and I had to keep this because this is freaking awesome. Murph survival kit there. If you saw if you saw John Mack in the crowd, you might have got a stool sample. So there's so that was okay. Oh my gosh again with this. What what is going on? Which channel is that coming from? I don't know which YouTube channel probably mine. It's all good. It's not showing up on either of the YouTube. It was blocked. That's why a tripod, you know, tripod's garage was there hanging out was like I said Sam Prentiss and I got to put it this way like tripod save the day when it came to my Murph racer on Friday. We got there. I showed up like well it was 130 because I forgot what we lost an hour. So about 130 we showed up maybe like an hour later. He's like hey do you have those parts? Just just give him to me and get out of here. I was like anything I could do to help and he's like yeah go back to your booth. But he but but I tell you what he saved the day when it comes to this thing. He he assembled everything but the tracks.    So I got to point out that that tripod has the slowest car of the field and he he made it sure everybody knew about it every second of that race. He okay so everyone drove to the end and he won yes and he won yeah yeah. Everybody drove to the end of the pavement and he only got about halfway and realized he wasn't going to make it before they started turning around. So he turned around and started coming back and they made it back to the start before he could. Yeah, it was amazing. We can we talk for a second about Joel and his inability to keep his car in one piece. It was like 10% gloop. Yeah, so so Joel Sam Prentice put Joel's car together on Friday while while tripod was put in mind together and those guys knew the cars the best.  Let us do it. Joel kept breaking his car every time his car would drive he broke it and then he would come over and he's like Jim I need to bamboo. So we parked we printed four benches for 17 minute benches on Friday and the rest of the stuff was Joel's parts for his racer every time except for two things I printed at the end of the night that I needed on mine but it was combined with two for his two but literally we he kept glooping stuff he kept I mean like seriously his car was probably 10% gloop. I don't know what is going on tonight but someone really wants us to check out their stuff Jim I'm pretty ways on your channel cuz it's not showing up on my gotcha on the hot mix channel or I told you it'd be chaos tonight. It's all good. It's all good. Joel's car couldn't catch a break. So you'll have to see what happens is Joel sponsored by gloop. He might have to be you'll have to see what happens. There's some videos coming and Sam's working on some again Sam's a cool dude. I set out if you guys remember the original giant torture toaster I set it out to get signed in a bunch of people signed it. So that was cool. Big channel big channels on there. Huh huh and we had like of course Brian Vines and full of mint. So Brian Brian Vines was out there BV3D himself. He just got home a little bit ago actually. I don't know how you guys all got home so fast to be real with you cuz like I flew you guys drove right. I drove I'm only four hours though. Yeah we were so. So if you if you look real closely you can see his name on one of the toasts. Yeah. So he got up in on the toast we got full of mint in the front they just took over that just super cool and oh look at this. I won't show that one. I don't want to know but I'm reading it do not show the bottom comment right now. So yeah here you go we'll do this. There you go. So cool stuff you know super super cool stuff we don't show the bottom I just did you know like I said we met we met a ton of cool people just in Jano tripods garage some of the cool stuff we of course we hung out with the Stefan from CNC kitchen and John from proper printing the cool cool dudes and yeah and a ton of people I let me know in the chat Michigan. Oh local maker Michigan local maker Michigan was there also he brought to the table some of the coolest things yeah real quick what you're talking this this was a gift this was a gift from Greengate 3D they designed this and he printed it in their in their stuff super good print and he brought that and it survived it on the way home with the exception of the little tail the little tail I have it. Oh I would have thought the tusks would have maybe snapped off or something. No I made it home so you're saying local maker Michigan. Yeah so local maker Michigan stopped by the booth and brought a bunch of prints that he made I think he posted these but he brought a Geary which I thought was really cool. I don't know why he gave them to me specifically because I have no idea who Geary is but he also brought a dad version with a mustache. Yes yeah he brought the whole family. Yeah and then there's a mom's story behind this. Yes we were filming and Caleb had had his camera off and the lens cap on.  That was awesome and and not that I know who Geary is but Caleb knows him.

us Caleb I think you're muted by the way oops sorry I had one not Murph related hot make to show off cuz did we have anything other than those nope I only pulled Murph related stuffs okay gotcha I have a non Murph related one to show off so part of our trip that Sarah and I took up there to Murph that we came up a day early and went to Fort Wayne Indiana where I'm originally from and Fort Wayne has a bunch of these really cool murals all over the city just painted all over the alleyways and stuff and they all have this little white plaque next to them that we can only assume were for people who were sight impaired to see or to feel kind of what the artwork would be it was a 3D render of that in of that mural so people that are sight impaired can go up and touch it and feel those ridges and see what everyone else's is so excited and they were all 3D printed yeah I walked up and when we noticed that there were layer lines on them and they were they were all printed nice amazing we were so excited and then this one this was a little bit more clear you can see how it there's like a one-to-one correlation with the art that's on the wall awesome yeah that is really cool a super cool application for print making art more accessible through technology that is just the coolest thing 100% 100% agree yeah but Sarah thank you so much for all your help this weekend I really appreciate it you did amazing job I don't know how you still had a voice on Sunday because I barely did I kept we were running around filming and I kept because of that bamboo printer I kept looking

Good morning, everyone. Welcome to WordCamp. I am Latoya Smith. I'm one of the volunteers in the A.B. Wrangler and I want to introduce Alex Baran. Alex, he actually immigrated to the U.S. in his 20s and he started his own business while he was a freshman at Brooklyn College. So he's been with Wordpress since 2008 when it was still a niche, logging platform. There was no word content management system yet. And Alex is the founder and CEO of Translation Cloud, the company that employs an army of languages and does language translation services in over 100 languages. So let's give Alex a warm welcome. Latoya, thank you so much for the introduction. My microphone up. Can you guys hear me? First, before I start the presentation, I would like to say a big thanks to Wordpress organizers. You guys are awesome. Thank you for this incredible opportunity to present. And I'd like to thank all the community of Wordpress users. Since when we started off in 2008, I had no clue that we grew up in such an impressive community. And today we're seeing WordCamp's popping up all over the world. And this is a great example of the successful life-threat patient. Today I would like to share with you my topic on market penetration and give you some techniques on how to handle your localization needs and what exactly this entails. First of all, I would like to give you a little background of who I am. Thanks for the opportunity to mention that I'm a founder and CEO of Translation Cloud, the language provider in New York City. And we have partners in the German city across the house. The reason I'm in this industry and I'm speaking to you because I want to share my incredible knowledge of masks from 15 years of hard work. First as an immigrant for struggling to find a job. And then now I'm starting to figure out how to put things together. And I understand better what localization and marketing in foreign countries is. And therefore I'm able to pass my knowledge to you with the one knowledge that they have deep trust for. So this is the incredible opportunity to listen and pay attention. If you're interested, let's keep moving. The business I'm part of is Translation Cloud. A full cloud can lead this. Can lead this is one of them. I'm into all sorts of localization projects. And fun fact about me, I'm a winner of the Higher Power Award in 2012. My firm was nominated as one of the successful companies that actually in the midst of recession hired so many people that were proud of it. I went to Washington DC, got my work, got my class badge and so on. So here are your expectations.    You put an apple on top of the hat and then you try to kick it with the hat, right? But in reality, what I'm saying to you is it looks more like this. Is the video working? Is it working? In reality there's no video, but reality looks like there's a fine video. Two girls have played with each other. Another girl imagined that she's a karate kid already. She had to hit the glass on top of the hat and she smashes her friends. So I want to manage your expectations properly. You are in the world of business and whenever you build the theories about your success, we all imagine things, right? We have our ideas and the goals. But in reality sometimes it could be slightly different. Such events as WordCamp are very helpful for you because you can learn from the experienced entrepreneurs like myself and hopefully they'll get into the same problems. What I will cover today is four important topics. One is a brief information about the market penetration. Then I will teach you how to do a proper WordPress localization listing. And then I will give you some ideas on your pricing strategy, how to price your product properly. And last I will give you an effective marketing chance so you can extend properly any further language. Since I introduced myself, now let me ask you a few questions. Who is the blogging developer for WordPress? Who is the business owner? We have a pretty good audience here. We have blogging developers and business people. This is the good stuff for you then. Foreign market penetration, if you are familiar, oh by the way, who is not from New York? Who is visiting? Okay, that's welcome. So if you are born in America, you understand the world, you can actually have a limited knowledge of what's out there. But as myself, I am an immigrant. I was exposed to both worlds. I'm from Belarus, I spoke Russian, I was part of the Soviet Union and its collapse. And in the future, I went to America, and I see a different world, capitalism, something else. But people who are born in America, they have limited understanding and knowledge of what is out there. Therefore, we have to travel first. If you travel a lot, for example, even for work camps, there are events out there, you have to experience a lot of cultures. You stay in hotels, you get to speak to a lot of people, and you see that they all speak in different languages, and it makes your communication harder to learn. This is the common problem. Your voice or yourself, you can expect it to be a very easy experience. Google is not the only choice today. It was effective before, but as all marketing channels, those channels are burning out. So you have to look for a better tune. What is the market penetration? Let me give you a brief introduction. So market penetration is the process of going into... selling the same product to the same segment of customers. Therefore, if you have your own plugin, you don't need to create another plugin. You have to sell the same plugin to more users on WordPress. So you have to penetrate the market and get a higher percentage of downloads and market share. So there are three ways to extend this. It's to find new users within current markets. So you do the quick penetration. You find new uses for current customers, extended use. Sometimes you can write a new feature and penetrate with that feature as well, which wouldn't be important for your target audience before. And you can use... also, no usage per customer. This relates to self-employed companies to drop their providers. They want to offer you more of the same stuff. They want you to apply for download. More minutes to talk on the phone. But this is what I'm sending to you. And now I'm going to give you some brief introduction to NBA. If you study for Masters, you'll probably bore you with those charts. And this is a general chart to give you the answer to metrics. And market penetration, as you can see, is just a quadrant out of the four tiles. It's an existing product and it's for the existing markets. It's a very low risk strategy because you don't have to diversify, you don't have to spend money to R&D, to pay other people to experiment with your... with your software. It's just, you know, backing the product and selling it everywhere. From point A to point B. This is the very common discussion.  He's been born with a silver spoon. But in reality, your success more looks like this chart on the left. It's like your downloads on your plug-in. I took this picture from one of the plug-ins on WordPress. And it's up and down strategy. It's not linear. Your success is never linear.  And in order to reach this card and get a plug-in, like if people in Russia don't handle this problem because lots of successful entrepreneurs drive it, this is your motivation. This is your motivation. Why are you in business? Because you want to be from point A to point B, from zero to something. And the number of downloads, the number of activations successful on your plug-in, is the good indicator that you're moving to the right direction. How else would we measure it? The more adoption rate you have, the more penetration of your plug-in is, the better. But market penetration does not start by itself. It has to first see on this chart, from animal to a dark container, where your startup is. If you don't have a domain, you cannot do the plug-in. If you don't have a web posting where this plug-in is located, you cannot have the plug-in. You should fill in the prerequisites and then move forward into the market penetration. But the timing is always now, because in my experience, in procrastinating, there's always a temptation to procrastinate. That line is out of tune. We'll all wait until the last moment and write the papers. And then last night, right, when we want to build businesses, for example, we save money for our personal things. We tend to procrastinate important decisions for a very long time. Whenever we get sick or we have terminal conditions, that moment is trying to do some important things. And my understanding is, if you are into the business and you want to be successful in what you're doing, always try to set some hours a set of your business schedule, because we're all surrounded by operational things. I'm a full-time entrepreneur. I wanted to do this presentation, but there are various other things I wanted to do at the same time, right? Everything competes for my attention, for my desire. So I have to put some hours aside from a schedule and just do this presentation. You don't have to understand that no one else would do it better than you.  And the right time is, of course, now. Moving forward, preparing for penetration. Who knows what penetration? Penetration. Some people are smiling. That's part of the marketing, right? You have to understand that this is the way we came up with the product. We want to be memorable, because the way our brains are wired is anything that's predictable and tedious, we tend to ignore. Everything that is unusual might change in the color of the slide, and using the word that maybe suggests you the wrong or other meaning of the word. That tends to bring us attention, and if you win that attention, you win the adoption of your power. This is very important. You spend less money per click, less money per view. Just like that. The viral virility, I call it. So penetration. Is this going horizontally or vertically? The way I call it, the market penetrator, by startup, is because I think penetration goes from up down. And this is not what you think. This comes from the space aircraft. There was a Mars expedition. We had to launch the rocket in space. And we launched toward the Mars, and the mission of this craft was to actually penetrate as deep as possible the soil so we can get the sample of what beneath the surface. That's as easy as it is. This is our opinion. But this is important when designing your product, or the name of the plugin, make it stand out. So this part number two is the actual mini-greedy stuff I would like to share with you, the plugin localization. We all heard animals, right? Our limit system, which is inherited from animals, even from dinosaurs, or some people play, consists of multiple parts. But the limit system is the one that actually relates to the aspects of your lives when you tend to compare yourself to other people. So very social.  Did somebody have this problem of a situation?  So this is the condition we, as humans, have all the time. There's nothing to worry about. It's called comparison. We always compare our things, ourselves, our lives, as a social person to somebody else.  There are always those ideas on the back of your hand. And therefore, we tend to relate to people only who are in the same situation and the same type of condition as we are. For example, you have, if you look at the spouse's successful marriages, both husband and wife look the same. They look like a brother and a sister. Because people tend to flock to the people who look like that. It's just wired in the nature of humans. And therefore, if your product is in the language of your audience, English, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, you will have much higher success rate with relating your product to them. So I will cover three things when we talk about plugin mobilization. It's how to translate your readme.txt file, which is your description file for the plugin. I will tell you how to use the function B. If you're not familiar with it, how to do it. Extraction of the strings. And I'll also show you how to translate your plugin files. They have a full package right here. No obstacles. The readme file, number one. Each plugin has easy translatable parts. Thanks to WordPress. And in WordPress community, that wasn't the case all the time. When we started in 2008, we had a very tough time translating the song. That's why we didn't do it. We just didn't do it. We had an English version, and we thought American market would be sufficient for us. It's a huge market. But fast forward. I think around 2011, we started noticing that a lot of frameworks, CMS, kind of a management system, containing the group out with WordPress, like group out with group out. They all started to blow out this capability to localize things. So this is the, for example, your WordPress plugin. Welcome. This is the page where your plugin is. You have to click on the development link, which will take you to your interface where your strings part used to be translated. In my example, we started off the localization process with Elashian language, and here we have to see that we have several parts, and it looks, of course, very consuming, very confusing. That's why I call it how to interpret this. Some people don't even know when to go there. You have development stages and stable stages. Development means it's only visible to you right now, and stable means it's visible to everybody else. So in order for your listening to game, there's a kind of extra link in the interface of WordPress to the forward version, and therefore participate in the search for extra keywords in the language. You have to have both of these in agreement. So if you click on the Russian language, it will take you to the interface which looks something like this. On the left-hand side, you have the original string and translation on the right-hand side. You double-click on the translation, and you provide your own translation. In my experience, login translation is a pretty straightforward process, and you can even use something simple such as a machine translator, whichever you like, Google, Bing, or Yandex, or anything else. I'm a legal person. I tried to Google translate, and this is probably good advertising for that, but they did pretty good translation because the text of the plug-in is relatively simple. You don't write complicated stuff on the plug-in. Download this, click there, and activate there. It's fairly simple. So the machine already memorized that and reuses those translations, which looks like human form. Therefore, it's fairly straightforward to translate. The only caveat is, when I encountered something specific, when they have the variable inside of the text string, for example, it's got the percentage sign, 1, S, 2, then Google tends to do much worse job. They add extra characters, extra spacebars, so you have to have a human to look at all. So the interface is like this. Also, you don't have to be an admin to translate this. You can have your own dedicated users who are part of your localization team, so if they should have the WordPress username and you want white wisdom, they can have access to this interface and translate it for you. Then you only have to do this to moderate the translation and activate it. This is an additional slide on how to show when you double click on the right-hand part, you see this particular string and you can copy and paste your translation. And this is how the translation looks like. If you're an admin, your translation will go white listed already. If you're a contributor, your translation will go whole for evaluation. Now, part number two, make it multi-labeled. The string functions double underscore and then function E. Who already had experience with this function in your practice? So this is our fairly new functions and me myself as a developer, I was surprised that my job became so much easier than before because before we had to struggle with .po.mo files, we had to download those EO editors to extract the text files from WordPress, load it in our desktop software and then translate it manually by a few months' work, email as a cash installer, freelance translators, and then get it back at all of the website. The new approach is no software, which is really awesome for ourselves. Everybody works in the browsers. There is no exchange of .po.mo files and also what these functions do take into consideration. This is more like a technical knowledge probably if you're beginners, you might not notice the difference, but programmers struggle with a number of variables. When you do the localization, you have to create a new variable which is straight in the whole approach of .po.mo file. In this approach, you just copy and paste the slug of your plugin and you don't have to plug in any names. So there's less and less work for you. Nice and simple. So the three steps to get your plugin ready for localization probably weren't aware of it before, but when you submit your plugin to WordPress directly, it's not yet ready for localization. First, you have to change, and then add the text domain. Text domain is your WordPress slug. Whenever you submit the plugin to the WordPress directory, some moderator, a beaker or somebody else would ask you what would be your slug name for the Europe. The one would be in your WordPress domain, Europe. In our case, we added convey this dash translate. So this is our plugin. This is where you add it to the plugin page. Step number two, you have to load different styles. This is your .po file. We don't know where it is now. It's somewhere in the cloud. You just load it and it's very simple. You submit one place, one string, and it's good to go on. And lastly, you have to update, you have to append the text strings. Whenever you have the trade function, which brings in... It used to be a function echo, which would bring in the... It was displaying the text information on the browser. Now we have to replace it with function e or double underscore.  And echo function will print it out that allows your JavaScript, because browsers interpret the JavaScript as the execution code. So you can grab personal school keys and they're good to go. So it was a big vulnerability threat. Therefore, this is the team approach to care of it, and now we have nicely functions. So if you took everything together and did this nice job, you will have a new sexual-free interface. It will be in a foreign language. I'm going to list. We'll be off, we're going to go to the foreign language. So the interface finally should look like this, everything green.  How to test a new look. It's very simple.  It's located in your settings tab. When you log in as an admin, you go to general and then you select side language. So if you did translate the plugin, you can test it by switching these dropouts. That will be displayed in the WordPress in different language. So you'll have the whole look of your blogging. Now, I'll give you some of the ideas on how to foreign penetration also of course is about this SEO. And SEO is a manipulation, right?  And I put up this section into a couple of things. One is clickable images. What we as humans tend to look for is other humans, right? If you are in the business of selling to if your target audience is male, you display males. If your target audience is female, that's that. If you sell to kids, children, you display children. It's that simple. It's more clickable than than cartoonish images are longer. If you have your blogging in a directory which you can be for exposure, you can be for CTR so to speak if you have a real human image. Colors, I suggest is blue, green and white. In my experience, these colors are safer because people feel we all have our own bars and we would never ever see these colors with more more confidence. Look at the Facebook. I think blue. Look at all the successful websites there. We tend to have these colors. Try not to use red or orange. Because these colors make people feel a little anxious. They don't want your customers on the first impression to feel anxious. This is a safe place. Nobody is going to harm you. That's fine. Number two, you have to plug and you need to put keywords in your blogging names. If you translate it, for example, I highlighted this plugin they try to put in two keywords in a title and both of them work perfectly. So if you go to WordPress directory you type in these keywords and you'll find it in that plugin. That works. WordPress is your friend. WordPress is your friend. It's not Google. It does not come to it. It doesn't have any difficult algorithms with CTR. It's not like a directory. So whichever is in a title is being triggered by the search pretty successful. The same thing goes for description. Description, as you can see, is only a small snippet. So try not to do it along description. You don't like four or five lines of description. I wish I could know what that would be about WordPress. Multilingual text. These are the texts that are participating in the search. They're more or less non-deprecated the way I see it. And they're not participating well in the search results. But you should also be thoughtful of the texts which are displayed in your target audience. If you're expected internationally they can be high traffic mode search keywords. Now, this is about the manipulation. This part I'm only bringing you as an example. I'm not urging anybody to do that. Because you as developers should be like antivirus developers. You should know how viruses work. So those are the botlets. This is the way some developers could inflate an active installation by triggering thousands of fake websites and installing a plugin. And therefore they have millions of activations. And therefore users would think, oh, this is a safe plugin. This is good to try. So you can rent a botnet. You can buy it. You can build yourself. It's all out there. You should be vigilant. You should understand that this might be a problem. A different manner does it for us now. And number six also very questionable. I don't encourage anybody to use it. It's called asking for plugin ratings. Rates work really well for the WordPress directory. Therefore obtaining them is very important. But you should never use what's called SAP botleting. It came from the cartoons where they had an arm covered in a sock. They pretend to be people's talking. It's the same technique when you go from WordPress to say hey, you're also developing WordPress. Download my plugin and give me a good rating. You don't have to do this. Or paint somebody on fiber. It's a case recently with somebody. So if you've never seen it, it's not. Now moving to the process for market penetration. Number three. The pricing is very important because you are in the WordPress directory. WordPress is all about free. It's all started as a free start. We want the free free chocolate, free coffee and free plugins. We don't want to pay for anything. But we as developers, we're in the business of probably making some money. Therefore we need to figure out how to price our product. So the penetration pricing again from the if you attend one. It looks more like WordPress. You start, you have a very low entry point and then you try to lock in the customers as much as possible. Like contract by some agreements and then you try to raise the prices and not let the customers go away. It works very effectively in a cell phone industry. People give away cell phones sometimes free of charge. And that's what if the year the culture expires, they increase their bill rates. With your plugin you go with the free offer of course. And then you try to hopefully bring people up in the scale. Price giving is the strategy when you start very high. If you, for example, have very enthusiastic, energetic crowd, people just wait in my final product like for Apple iPhones or MacBooks, whatever they come up for the sale. You start selling to enthusiasts then very press unsensitized and they'll buy it at any rate because they want to feel important. Again it's a social thing as I'm also trying to stand out in the crowd and this part is actually giving you the status there. And then once the market is saturated because enthusiasts are only having to go down the scale and offer the same product for less. Every day a low price is the price employed by Walmart for example. You know that there's always something, there's no specials every day there's a low price therefore your consumption is very even. Freeing pricing. This is the pricing that most developers have. It's on WordPress, it's on web hosting, it's in the language industry. Everything that comes with the consumption like monthly payments, you want to have a free new price. Expect perversion rate around 1%. Remember in attractive free users, very rarely people can work therefore they have to build a lots of adoption. A plugin that actually is not deleted by almost. Now moving to the marketing channels. There are free channels Whenever you try to prepare your image in a foreign market go with something free first because it's easier to experiment there's less risk of failure and then go to the page channels. The advantage of the page channels of course you get much more higher value for your money and you can reach very targeted audience. Free channels is your WordPress directory. Try to do as much as possible with your WordPress directory even just clickable translate them and you can pick up. It's your search, if you're dominating in the search, we're bringing a lot of new users.  So as you can see there are all Ass. Those are the channels that are still working for us, that's why I'm bringing this up in the conversation. But as you know in America the post-bricklink is getting astronomical. But the post-bricklink in developing countries where you want to be the project you also need to be adapted, expanded, it's still not. Therefore, you know we are burning out but they're still good. What works better even, the Google AdWords always works quickly. So whenever it works with a human being or a robot you're going to make it quick. YouTube Ass on the other hand is new frontier. New frontier. If you have our products should have users, right? And users always ask you questions how to install this plugin, how to uninstall this plugin, how to activate it Your YouTube Ass, if you shoot something like a tutorial, you can promote it and this is also very effective because it will take a lot of pressure of your support team. What really works. And one of the most important channels is the Apple creation. There are a couple of consumers where we all sometimes see that we're on YouTube all the time watching, we start watching something simple when we came to YouTube to watch the little tutorial on how to install the plugin but since YouTube is so addicted we end up watching something else and this is very time consuming. So you want to transition from a consumer's territory into a creator territory. Creators are very much less people it's a more elite team 1% of the population are creators. You create a YouTube channel if you have the experience in writing good quality code you can share this experience with a screencast on your screen with your audience. There are some already very effective YouTube channels that start as a free project and then move to the very high volume of subscribers and they can dictate a lot of marketing power. The effective channel to promote your YouTube channel is the collaboration. In the beginning you have no viewers, no subscribers, no nothing and you have to pay somebody or you have a friend who would introduce you and also use a collaboration so it will bring a lot of audience from them to you. You can do commenting you can use your finger vloggers you activate the ring button and whatever they call published media it also works. Buying subscribers there are market places where you can buy subscribers it's like an M2O problem if your channel has zero subscribers people will feel like this is something shady they might be more likely to subscribe but there's already subscribers so firstly buy product conclusions this is when you advertise your channel or your product you've already established the vloggers who write about bloggers they ask them hey do something from across contact outreach this is when you publish articles forget about your own blog you have to publish articles on some of the sales blogs and you have to have a team somebody who tells constantly to fellow vloggers and tells them hey I will pay you but you have to publish please publish my article this works make sure your articles have UTM labels those are the labels that actually bring you the idea of where the customer came from the source very important for you for the morning so you can see with which blogs you can invest more money and finally start a podcast podcast is good for those who are driving the car to YouTube but you can still your message, your experience your ideas now of course it's going away because YouTube is replacing all of that with those studies that people listen to YouTube more than watching so this concludes my presentation and I'm open to questions you like him can you come see him for a language to plug in this at the end you can add your language or write your language in your plugin if you have a plugin and it's not doesn't have an ad or it's not a director no no question about your plugin if I can decide for a safe language if not present in your plugin can I add a new language can I add a language in the plugin yes the way we set it up now is a link closer to the machine translator since the plugins usually provide the first layer of translation with the machine therefore the list is limited to whichever software connection if the sufficient number of users ask for this rare language sure we can be standardised if there's no more questions good to go thank you


Hello everyone, my name is Dr. Amogan Vekar and I'm currently doing MD radio diagnosis in Justice K.S. Hector Charitable Hospital and Medical College. The topic for my presentation is anatomical variations of paranesal sinuses in the CT scan and its association with the chronic sinusitis. Coming to the introduction, chronic sinusitis is a common pathology encountered in our day-to-day study. Anatomical variations in paranesal sinuses are more commonly found in such patients and it needs assessment. CT scan is an excellent modality for the evaluation of the anatomical variations and as well as the paranesal sinuses and its pathology. It helps in assessment of the drainage of the sinuses, extent of the sinusitis, variations and thus helps the surgeon infest surgery that is a functional endoscopic sinus surgery. The study is conducted to correlate the anatomical variations and its association with the pathophysiology of sinusitis. The aim of this particular study is to evaluate the anatomical variations in the patients with chronic sinusitis, to evaluate the prevalence of the sinunasal variants and assess its association with the chronic sinusitis, to lightly evaluate the variations that contribute strongly to the disease process of the sinusitis, that is the pathophysiology of the sinusitis. Methods. In this retrospective study, 100 patients with clinical symptoms of sinusitis who underwent CT scan in the past six months were included. Multiaxial unenhanced images of paranesal sinuses were obtained using 128 slice G-spiral CT machine and later coronal and sagittal repomance were done. The anatomy of the paranesal sinuses were evaluated in both soft tissue window as well as bone window and the findings were tabulated. Inclusion criteria for this particular study was patients with clinical symptoms of paranitis, nasal obstruction and headache and the exclusion criteria was patients with history of paranesal sinuses, paranesal sinus surgery, patients with the sinunasal malignancy and patients with the history of road traffic accidents and with the patient factors. Findings. The parameters that were particularly in observed in the interest world, nasal turbinates, nasal septum deviation, sinuses in the world and the extent of its involvement, then at point 8 cells like agar-naceous cells, onodic cells and halar cells and spinous sinuses variations. So, for example, pneumatization of the clenoid process, serigoid process and greater wink of the spinoid. So, the findings that were tabulated were here you can see an access section of CT scan in the bone window, access section of CT head in the bone window showing the conca bullosa in the left middle turbinate, conca bullosa can be out for two types. One is involving the turbinate, another one is involved with the stroke of the turbinate, however, the involvement of the turbinate is the more common finding. And in the second image, you can see that there is hyperneumatization of the right spinoid sinus. Also, there is associated left maceric sinusitis with the air fluid level, which is strongly suggestive of acute sinusitis. Here we have a coronal image of a patient with a coronal image of head in the bone window showing deviated nasus septum to the right. Here, the deviation is rather mild, whereas in the second image, you can see that there is cross deviation of the nasus septum to the left along with the bony spine. There is also bilateral maceric sinusitis with the near total, near total opacification of the right maceric sinus. Here we have in the image one, a case of sinusoidal polyposis with bilateral maceric sinusitis. In image two, what we get to see is a D-lander type one optic nerve. D-lander classified optic nerves into four variants. This, those are type one, where an optic nerve is adjacent to the spinoid sinus, type two, where the optic nerve is connecting the spinoid sinus, type three, traversing through the spinoid sinus, and type four, the optic nerve lies adjacent to the spinoid sinus and the posterior part of the air cells. This becomes particularly important in the spec surgery and is a useful information for the surgeon. Then here we have heroes type two olfactory posa that is noted. Heroes again pass for olfactory posa into three types, type one, type two, type three, type one, depth of olfactory posa is 1 to 3 mm, type two, 4 to 7, and the type three, 8 to 16 mm. The results of this particular study were among the 100 patients evaluated, 30% of the patients showed concavulosa. The incidence was more or more commonly seen in the middle dopamine. Divacid nasal septum was seen in 44% of the patients. Some patients even had a bonus birth abutting the nasal turbinates and the nasal wall associated. The incidence of sinusitis were more common in the maxillary sinus and frontal sinus. Pan sinusitis was noted in three patients and spinner sinus hyperneumatization was noted in six patients. Conclusion, which was finally drawn with this particular study was the study showed that the Divacid nasal septum is a common finding in the patients with chronic sinusitis and can be considered a significant part of the factor in the disruption of normal mucociliary clearance. Concavulosa is a common anatomical variant noted. However, mostly the patients are asymptomatic. The etymol sinus cells like ponody cells, agarinesis cells and hella cells may be incidentally found in patients with sinusitis, however, has no strong correlation. The knowledge of anatomical variations and its elaboration is indeed a useful tool for it can provide the surgeon with sufficient information for performing a safe endoscopic sinus surgery. Following weather references, I used for this particular study. Thank you.


Water is considered to be the base of life on earth as the evolution of the living world had originated in it. Water is one of the chief components among others that have enabled the complex process of origin and flourishing of the living world. It has been proved that life without water is not possible. Water is also the chief component in plants. Almost 70% of the human body is composed of water and almost 90% of our blood is water. To maintain the necessary balance in their bodies, living beings need regular intake of water. On the other hand, plants comprise the chief component of the food chain and life cycles of most of the living beings on earth. Thus there is a specific proportion of plants, animals and water in any given area of the earth's surface. Moreover, along with this complex process of maintaining a specific proportion, there has to be the presence of necessary atmospheric temperature and several gaseous elements for the living world in a definite amount. A slight imbalance in the proportion of these elements in any given area will lead to imbalance in the natural system of the area. This may consequently lead to the extinction of a plant or an animal life in that area. Earth has come to this present state of balance existence after having passed through several millions of years of evolution. The complex process of creation of this beautiful earth is self-controlled. The temperature, humidity, water and atmospheric conditions of earth vary from place to place which results in a corresponding variation in the flora and fauna of various places on the earth's surface. The flora and fauna possess specific traits that make them suitable for their specific natural habitats. The quantity of water present in a part of the earth's surface is dependent on various causes and the chief among these is atmospheric temperature. Growth of human civilization through the passage of time is found to be water-centric and thus many big civilizations of the world had developed and grown by the rivers. Apart from the human race, the evolution of other animals has also been water-centric. All means and mode of human life are dependent on nature. The water that is necessary for the growth of nature in this earth comes from rainfall or underground water reserve. Human life in culture is also based on and developed around nature. Situated at the foothills of the Himalayas, the natural environment of North East India is unique and different from all other parts of the world. North East India is recognized as one of the biodiversity hotspots of the world as it is home to various rare and endangered species. The high quality of rainfall enjoyed by this region adds to the majestic presence of rivers, lakes, swamps, hills and mountains here. The region has become a rainfall area as it receives highest rainfall owing to the southwest monsoon winds from the Biaupengal, which reacts with the temperature and humidity here. Chirapanji Meghalaya receives highest rainfall in the world. A sand receives an average annual rainfall of 200 cm. About 80% of the population of North East is dependent on agriculture and thus the monsoon directly affect their lives and activities. Rainfall ushered by the monsoon provides sufficient water to their agricultural fields. Since early times, rainfall in this region has been influenced by the presence of the thick forest cover in the hills of the region. Like any other region of the world, this evergreen region too is now facing industrialization with a rise in population at present. But too much exploitation of nature leads to a negativity in the natural balance, which would have dangerous and far-reaching consequences in the future. There is already a significant climatic change worldwide and according to data, there is an increase of 74°C in Earth's average annual temperature during the last century. The scientists have inferred that the Earth's temperature might rise up to 5°C towards the end of this century. Significant changes in the climatic conditions of Earth have already been noticed in many parts of the globe. Scarcity of water has become a serious problem in the lives of the common man. There has been a drastic drop in the water level of the rivers during the dry season. The rivers that were once full of water has now become dry to the extent that some of them have now become pathways for traffic and transportation. The groundwater level has also fallen. These may be the effect of climate change which will create further, serious problems in the lives of men as it has a direct effect on the water quotient of the globe. Future generations of men will have to face serious problems in life and livelihood with the growing menace of climate change. Even the cultivators have realised that there has been a change in climatic conditions though it has been rather slow. The evergreen notice too has witnessed the effects of climate change. The dry period of winter is gradually on an increase. There is now extreme of heat and cold weather conditions. Large areas of agricultural land are underdraught which leads to hunger among farmers. The reason behind such problems is the rise of temperature in the earth's atmosphere. It has been observed that the snow in the snow covered regions of the world has started melting. It has been observed that the amount of snow in Kilimanjaro mountains of Kinnia in 2002 up to the present decreased drastically compared to the amount found in 1912. Scientists are of the opinion that the melting of glaciers in the Himalayas will create floods in the northeast of India. Melting of snow will also lead to a rise in the water level of seas and oceans thereby causing threat to the coastal regions which might be underwater then. Different regions of the world have now experienced the ill effects of this global rise of temperature in the earth's atmosphere. In different international conferences on climate change, scientists have deliberated on the reasons behind the rise of global temperature. One of the chief reasons that have led to a rise in the global temperature is a gradual increase in the amount of greenhouse gas in the earth's atmosphere. Greenhouse gases generally refer to carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, together with ozone and other gases and water vapor. The presence of these gases in the atmosphere in their required specific quantities helps the earth's atmosphere to retain its desirable temperature. An imbalance in their specific quantities will lead to a corresponding imbalance in the earth's temperature. These gases are created by human activities, use of vehicles, industries etc. In a study conducted by the scientists, it has been found that there has been an increase in the greenhouse gases since the industrial revolution that began in the 18th century. An increase in these in the earth's atmosphere leads to a proportionate rise in the earth's temperature. Increase in carbon dioxide emission is caused not only by an increase in the number of motor vehicles but also by the rise in the industries which use fossil fuels like coal. It is not only rapid industrialization but also a rapid decline in the earth's forest cover that has resulted in an increase in the earth's temperature. Besides personal needs, man has started to destroy forest cover for urbanization which has led to decline in the earth's forest cover. Such inhuman atrocities committed upon nature have spelt havoc on human life and destruction of forests in the name of industrialization has led to an imbalance in the natural ecosystem of different parts of the world. The green forests are now destroyed for the construction of concrete roads for traffic, urbanization and industrialization. The animals that were sheltered in these forests have now started to move to other habitats in search of safer shelter and food. Many rare species of the animal kingdom are now extinct or is in the path of extinction. At present, many plant and animal species is in the path of extinction due to such activities. The entire human race will have to face the evil consequences of such activities committed by men. The rise in the global temperature seems only to be its beginning. However, man seems unaware even now of the crisis that planet earth is facing. Despite repeated warnings from scientists at different points of time, human beings still continue with their enterprise of rapid industrialization by destroying forest cover of the planet thereby furthering the menace of global rise in temperature. If collective measures are not undertaken now, the entire living world comprising of animals, plants and human beings will face the danger of extinction. It is also worth keeping in mind that the resources to save this planet and its living world from extinction have however not come to an end. With the aid of these resources, man now has the responsibility and challenging task of restoring the natural beauty of earth from the dilapidated state that it has fallen into at present. Scientists are of the opinion that current planning and collective will shall go a long way in rescuing the planet from the evil effects of climate change in not less than 1000 years. Therefore, governments and common men need to work in union and in a specific process to restore the balance in the earth's atmosphere. We are responsible for the mistakes that we have committed and the responsibility of correcting them therefore lies with ourselves.
