Relive Your Life

In what could raise hopes of people living with high blood sugar, scientists claim to have developed a stem cell treatment which can free diabetics from dependence on insulin. A team at Regional Blood Center in Brazil in Ribeirao Preto in Brazil has developed the new treatment that stops the immune systems of patients with type1 diabetes from destroying the pancreatic islet cells, which manufacture insulin hormone.

According to the scientists, the treatment, tested successfully on 12 out of 20 diabetic patients, is actually a three-step process which relies on extracting and storing CD34 stem cells from blood of those with high blood sugar. In the next step, patients will receive drugs that destroy what remains of their immune systems, obliterating at the same time the components of the immune system that attack the islets. Finally, the saved stems are returned to the patient so that they can regenerate afresh an immune system that will no longer attack islet cells.

Bleeding In Brain

Taking aspirin or similar blood-thinning medication may cause minute bleeding in the brains of older adults, according to a new study. The report found that older patients taking aspirin appeared more likely to have barely-perceptible bouts of cerebral “microbleeding,” detected by researchers with the aid of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology. This seems to be a serious case of medicine intake.

The drug often is taken as a blood thinner by elderly people to treat or prevent heart disease. Every medicine has a side effect but this seems to have them further more. This is time to take care.

Avoid Snoring In Sleep

Three- to six-year-old children who snore have more symptoms of depression and anxiety, as well as attention and language problems, than their age-matched counterparts who do not snore, Finnish report reveals snoring as a possible risk factor for mood problems and cognitive impairment in preschool-aged children.

The snoring children were also more likely to have other sleep problems, such as nightmares, talking in their sleep, or difficulties going to bed. Brain function tests also showed some significant differences between the snorers and non-snorers, including decreased attention and language skills among children who snored.

The Brain Power

A research in France has invented that when patients have both hands transplanted, their brains reestablished connections much more quickly with the left hand than the right. The report was written with just two patients, but both had been right-handed before losing their hands, and both followed a pattern of reconnection with their brain that was quicker for the left hand.

The study at the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Lyon shows that even years after the loss of hands the brain can reorganize and rewire itself to recognize and connect to a replacement. More study is needed to determine why the brain reconnected more efficiently to the left hand in these patients.

Reduce Menopause Effects

Researches reveal that soybean reduces the effects of menopause in a very effective way. A new study has found dietary supplementation with soy aglycons of isoflavone lowers cholesterol, increases the anti-oxidative properties of the liver and prevents degeneration of the vaginal lining.

The researchers have based their findings on the analysis of the effects of dietary supplements on a group of female rats that had undergone ovary removal. The research may help a lot for all those with menopause problem. This research seemed to be very effective and is to be tested on human.

Save World

Fitness plays the most important part of one's health. Obesity seems to be the major cause for most diseases. Now researchers have found that obesity is also a reason for global warming. The carbon dioxide exhibited by big people is cause for about 0.2 % of global warming. Now people all around the world are given advice and counseling to reduce obesity.

Obesity reduction is important to all as it helps to increase the life span of people and the people around us. Yoga is one of the proposed techniques to reduce obesity. For all people sitting in front of the computer waiting for the weight to reduce of its own, there is a serious advice to take steps to reduce their weight. Now it is necessary to reduce obesity because it not only reduces the life of personal but also the life of earth. So please do take some serious steps to save earth.

Cricket Starts

Hi all. It’s the end of the long wait for all cricket lovers. The Indian Premier League (IPL) is underway. After lot of controversies in and around the IPL, it has at last started in South Africa. Elections disturbing made IPL to shift to South Africa. South Africans have given a warm welcome with open hands. It’s a great work by Mr.Lalit Modi to shift it to South Africa and make the IPL happen.

The rains seemed to threaten but the first match started off with a bang with the leading cricketers making it to the ground. The first day saw upsets as both the finalists of the last season suffered defeat in their respective opening matches. This season though not played in home seemed to have a great support from the local crowd. Hope the IPL makes an impact on the world to globalize the game. Just keep watching the great games are still to come.

India’s Probe In Moon

India has become the fourth country to enter the exclusive moon club. Chandrayaan the first unmanned satellite of India has been launched. During the flight the satellite’s video camera took pictures of the moon, the spectrometer began its analysis and the altitude meter did what is known as ranging. While approaching the moon, it slowed down slightly, and then spun. While spinning, its three instruments went into action.

When it was five km above the moon’s surface, the altimeter did the ranging of the moon. It would be worthwhile if there was a landing which would make India’s presence felt on the moon’s surface. It is believed that if this was done, India could always stake a claim to a portion of the moon. The MIP first transmitted its signal on its successful landing to the main orbiting craft, which in turn relayed it to Istrac. The whole process took less than 1.3 seconds. The Indian national flag is planted near the Shackleton crater.

Future For Graphene

A remarkable material called Graphene could soon be used to make flexible and transparent high-speed electronics. Graphene's incredible mechanical and electronic properties are well known, but it is difficult to make it in bulk. It consists of thick layers of carbon atoms arranged in hexagons. The transparent samples can be fixed to any surface and bent or twisted without damaging them. When the technique is perfected, such films could be used in solar cells as well as any number of bendy, thin, transparent gadgetry, such as crystal-clear, flexible displays.

First discovered in 2004, Graphene is a close cousin of carbon nanotubes, which are in effect Graphene, rolled up. Tiny, high-quality samples of Graphene can be sourced by using sticky tape to simply pull them off graphite - the same stuff that is in a pencil lead. Transistors made from such samples have been shown to operate at gigahertz frequencies - comparable to the speed of modern computers. The material could theoretically operate near terahertz frequencies, hundreds of times faster. The samples also have remarkable mechanical strength, because the bond that carbon atoms form between themselves is one of the strongest known.

New World

Scientists have quashed suggestions that a £350m experiment planned for the autumn could cause the destruction of the Earth. There is no chance of the atom-smashing experiment causing a disaster, such as a black hole would devour the entire Earth. Researchers have spent eight years constructing the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island in New York State. Its goal is to smash the nuclei of atoms together and study their wreckage to determine the fundamental properties of matter.

RHIC takes atoms of gold and swings them around two 3.8 kilometer (2.4 miles) circular tubes where powerful magnets accelerate them to almost the speed of light. When they collide, they do so in minute. Heat caused by the Collisions could be 10,000 times hotter than the Sun. Scientists hope to create quark-gluon plasma, a fundamental state of matter that probably has not existed naturally in the Universe since the Big Bang.

Three Wishes

Three wishes from god. This does look appealing. I am a kind of person who believes in god and hard work. The first wish which I would like to ask is to be with my Mom, Dad and Brother all through my life. They are my life. They have been with me helping right from my start. I would like return in favor helping them. My second wish would be to work in a group where everyone is believable so that I would be able to improve my earning and knowledge in an effective way.

I would like to help the people who had taken care of me and help others who are crying for help in the streets. Third wish would be to go to Switzerland, stay there for one month, enjoy the whole place and do whatever I like in the place absolutely free. I am sure I will make my wishes happen in the near future.

Russell Peters

Dominic Peters is a Canadian stand-up comedian, and an actor of Anglo-Indian descent. Russell Peters is a renowned comedian in Canada and most famous in India too. He has performed in a number of stage shows and three of them have been put officially on DVD.

First of his DVD is “Outsourced” an uncensored version. The second one is “Show Me the Funny” and the latest release is “Red, Brown and White”. He has performed in a number countries like UK, Australia, Mainland China, Bahrain, Hong Kong, Singapore, Denmark, South Africa, the Caribbean, Vietnam, New Zealand, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Pakistan, India, UAE, Jordan, Lebanon, and the United States among other places. Peters’ comedy focuses largely around his Canadian upbringing and racial stereotypes, as he often parodies his parents and South Asian culture. Much of his material explores the cultural divides between many different ethnicity and upbringings in a way that includes many impressions.

Villages Or Cities

Hi, this is a question put by me to all. Do you really enjoy your life like a free bird, which can fly wherever it wants and do whatever it wants? I am from a middle class family from downtown. I used to be in a village, where I was allowed to roam the way I wanted. Though we didn’t have the farms and fields in our place we could play all the day on the road side and there was no one to ask us. Could we do that in a city where the life is fast moving and nobody even waits to help a person who has met with an accident? Villages are those places where you may not find all that you need, but there are always people who care for you.

People in villages maybe illiterate still we may not be able to match the things that they do through their practical experience. They always have their parents and grandparents with them to teach of what is good and what is not. It’s a fast food life in cities, tasty but unhealthy. Let’s hope the day turns to be a one with a city with hale and healthy home.

Favourite Place

Favorite place - this is an interesting topic to discuss. My favorite place next to my home is Switzerland. I have never been out of my city. Yet I would love to see the world soon. When I do so my first stop will be to Switzerland. I like the place because of two reasons. First is that it is a nice place with cool temperatures. This place is one of the most preferred tourist spot and this makes it an interesting destination. The second is Roger Federer. I am a hardcore fan of Roger Federer and I would love to see him in his hometown.

Switzerland has a lot of advantage. The first is being the less populated country it gives a number of opportunities to people living there. People living in Switzerland wouldn’t want to come out of the place and so is the situation for those who move into Switzerland. This is a very silent place with no restrictions on one’s privacy. They also have a very high social security. These many reasons make it my favorite place.

A Tragic Incident

Hi all, I believe you guys would be interested in reading about incidents that happened in my life. Some maybe incidents while some maybe accidents; however I promise that everything is going to be interesting. The one I would like to share with you now is the one that happened to me when I was 2 years old. I was sleeping in my bed at around 2 in the afternoon when my parents where out for work. I was alone with my grandmother who does nothing other than taking care of me. I was rolling in my bed all around. After a stage I reached the edge of my bed and fell down from it. There was a carom board to my surprise with a nail standing out waiting for my free fall. I poked my nose on to it and the incident became an accident. My nose was nearly divided into two. I started to cry not because of pain but seeing the blood that was flowing on the ground.

As a 2-year child I was able to understand what my dad told. I stopped crying and everyone where taken up by surprise. Then they took me to hospital, where they put 12 stitches on my little nose. My grandma and I were very worried about my father. Everything went well for the day as my dad felt for what had happened to me. It was the most memorable day of my life. I owe a lot to you dad.
