4.HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE


4a. UNETHICAL, ILLEGAL(CRIMINAL), UNPROFESSIONAL,INHUMANE TREATMENT GIVEN BY SOME POWERFUL PEOPLE(MANIPULATIVE, Opportunistic,so called professionals) TO SOME POWERLESS INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT THEIR WRITTEN CONSENT


Stereotaxic techniques in which geometric coordinates and Xray examinations are used to place a fine wire tipped with an electrode in the brain thereby enabling the surgeon to reach not only the frontal lobes but the deeper brain structures which lie under them. Once the electrode is placed it can be used either to stimulate that part of the brain with a weak alternating current(remotely) and thus in theory determine what mood or behaviour is affected by that region or to destroy it with the direct current. As a consequence Labotomies have become relatively rare in the united states.(In GOD WE TRUST)

4b. A Nobel LAUREATE (AMARTYA SEN) blames authoritarian rulers for the real causes of FAMINE

Societies that attend to the poorest of the poor can save lives, promote their longevity and increase their opportunities through education and production work. Socities that neglect the poor on the other hand may inadvertently allow MILLIONS to die in FAMINE.-Even in the economic boom, as occured during the great famine in Bengal, INDIA in 1943, the subject of SENS; most famous case study

Sen demonstrated that the Bengal famine was caused by an urban economic boom that raised food prices,thereby causing millions of rural workers to starve to death,when their wages did not keep up. And why did not the government react, by dispensing emergency food relief?? Sens' answer was enlightining. Because colonial India was not democracy he said the british rulers had little interest in listening to the poor ,even in the midst of famine.

This political observation gave rise to what might be called SENS LAW :Shortfalls in food supply do not cause widespread deaths in a democracy because vote seeking politicians will undertake relief efforts; but even modest food short falls can create deadly famines in AUTHORITARIAN SOCIETY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sen has placed great emphasis on poor societies that have achieved high standard in health & education

COSTA RICA for example, which has an average annual income that is about one fourth the US level, boasts a life expectancy of 76 years.-almost identical to the US'S. rEASON-Costa Rica disbanded its' army in 1949 and focused public spending on public health and education. Brazil, by contrast, has almost the same average income as Costa-rica, but life expectancy that is 10 years lower. Brazil has greater inequalities, and much of the population lives in deep poverty.

Sen's observations have been taken to heart in the valuable Human Development report issued annually by the UNITED NATIONS' HUMAN DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. In a world in which 1.5 billion people subsist on less than $1/day, this nobel prize can not JUST a celebration of a wonderful scholar, but also an important call to attend the URGENT NEED & HOPES OF THE WORLDS' POOR

THANK YOU SEN FOR YOUR ENLIGHTENMENT FOR THE CAUSES OF FAMINE

4c. PRICELESS GIFTS

For 2 weeks before November 11, my retired friend JAN, sells poppies for several hours a day on a busy corner in downtown Toronto.Once, a girl about 5 years old, aked him how much a poppy cost?!, As JAN handed her one ,he smiled and impulsively said nothing, someone has already paid the price

The little girl slipped away to join her mother,who had been watching the scene, from a short distance away. They chatted together, soon the girl ran back to JAN, she put a 10 dollar bill in the collection box, & said "my mother wants me to give this money to the people who paid the price"

8.SCIENCE &TECHNOLOGY


8a. Hi, Doc!, I am not afraid of needles anymore, hmm, WHY!!??READ BELOW, because of Micro Needles

8a.MICRO NEEDLES

Mark Allen & Mark Prausnitz, Electrical and Chemical Engineer respectively from Georgia Institute of Technology- have developed the replacement for conventional hypodermic needles- a small patch covered with hundreds of Microscopic needles that penetrate the skin without causing pain.

The skins' outer layer the "stratum corneum" is an excellent barrier to the outside world, hence the need to pork a larger needle through it to get the blood stream

But Prausnitz & Allen figured that very small needles could deliver vaccines & medications just below the stratum corneum. The medication would then diffuse from the tissue into capillaries.

Since the outer skin does not have any nerve endings- The first extensive nerve layer is below the outermost capillaries-The smaller needles would not cause any pain

Prausnitz & Allen made their Microneedles out of silicon with the same etching process used to manufacture computer chips.400 microneedles= one tenth of an inch on a side & eac needle id 6 onethousanth of an inch long. You feel something as if you were wearing a band-aid

The holes left by the microneedles are much smaller than the punctures of the conventional needles, thus lowering the risk of infection.Since the patch is very easy to use, it could be a boon for people with diabetes, who have to give them frequent injections.
Prausnitz thinks it would not be too hard to add a miroprocesor and a pump making a watch size device that could release drugs over time or even monitor blood levels of various medications and automatically keep them stable. you might actually make it a watch that keep track of time & amount that were delivered at different times.

****8b.Good news on Transplants

Leukemia & other cancer patients who need bone marrow transplants may now have a larger pool of potential donors.Israeli & Italian doctors say that they have vastly improved the odds of a successful transplant between family members whose tissue types do not match perfectly. It's done by transplanting large #s of stem cells---the bone marrow cells that make blood.In Japan doctors report, that sophisticated DNA analysis enabling them to better match donors & recipients who are not related at all.

****8c.Malaria

500 million The estimated # of new cases in malaria every year, resulting in up to 2.7 million deaths, mainly among children in Africa,

***8g.wear do pc's go from here

Xybernauts' mobile assistant 4 is every bit as mobile as you are-because u wear it like a vest. This under 2 pounds Pc combines a 266 Mhz processor, a 4GB hard disk, speech recognition technology instead of a keyboard and a full colour Head mount display.
Despites its' $5000 price tag, if you need to compute on the go-actually on the feet instead of in the plane or a taxi, the MA4 heralds, what could be a new fashion in technology :WEARABLE COMPUTERS.
Wearable systems have already proven themselves with the military, but xybernaut a 45 person startup based in FairFAX, va. hopes its' PC-on -a-Belt will catch on with mobile business professionals too.The companys ' directoe of Marketing Carol Covin says MA4'S applications are almost infinite.You need to be using your hands but want access to information {such as documents,blue prints or photograph} she adds.
Xybernauts research shows that 14 million workers in the USA, spend more than 20% of their time away from the desk top pc's.theortically a future wearable could become so at one with its' user that it could read ur moods, knowing when to leave you alone or when to forward a phone call or e-mail.

8i. The Calcium Connection Vs Calcium Depleters

125 milliliters(1/2 cup)of Broccoli=89 milligrams of calcium
106 gram of sardine(1 tin)=382 milligram of calcium
125 milliliters of almond=200 miligram of calcium
Vs
Salt--calcium depleter
Animal Protein makes us to loose calcium through urine, one fast food hamburger leads to a net loss of 23 milligram of calcium
Cafeine--found in coffee, tea and many soft drinks is another calcium leacher.A cup of coffee results in a calcium drain of 2 to 3 milligrams

8j. DO YOU KNOW THE COMPOSITION OF YOUR PLANET EARTH

O-----A-----B---------C-D

O--A = Inner core (solid iron & Nickel)-800 miles/1300km
Temprature of the innercore=5000 degrees celcius, but the atoms of the metal are pressed together so tightly by gravity, so that the melting is impossible

A------B =Outer core (Melted iron & Nickel)1400miles/2250kilmeter
Temprature =2200 to 5000 deg. celcius. Earths' magnetic field is generated by electricity in the outer core.It is the magnetic field that allows the compass to function

B-----------C =Mantle (silicon,oxygen,aluminium,irn and magnesium)--1800 miles/2900 kilometer
Temprature = deepest part of the mantle gets a temprature of 2200 deg celcius /4000 deg. fahren

C--D =Crust (Igneous, Sedimentary & Metamorphic rock)-15 to 25miles/8 to 40 kilometers
Sedimentary Rock: are developed from material worn away from the land.These rocks may contain Fossils-shells,bones & other remains of living things

Metamorphic Rock : are formed when Igneous & sedimentary rocks are chemically & physically changes by heat and pressure.

Igneous rocks :are formed ,when melted rock deep inside the crust cools and hardens

.
EARTHS' MINERALS

All the rock on earth is formed of materials known as minerals.These substances are inorganic, which means they are made up of matter that was never living
Some minerals such as GOLD, are one single chemical element.Others are mixtures of elements.
eg : hema tite --also known as Iron core consist of iron & oxygen
The word mineral means, something that is mined or dug out of earth.nearly all minerals are formed inside the earth & can be removed only by mining. However not all substances that are mined are Minerals, because thay are formed from the remains of the living things eg--crude oil.


OPAL: is a gem made of silica that contains water. The water in the opal breaks the light that strikes it into brilliant internal colours.

GOLD :One of the first known minerals is prized for it's beauty and scarcity

The hardest mineral = Diamond. It has a hardness of 10 on a hardness scale, developed by Friedrich Mohs in 1822. A Fingernail has a hardness of approximately 2 on the scale.

Professor- became six million dollar man- like cyborg, part human ,part machine, Warwick , Chairman of the Cybernatics department at the Univ, of Reading in England, had a silicon chip & transponder implanted under his skin. The experiment was a success. As he approached his office, web pages loaded, doors opened & light turned on. What is his research all about? "I am looking at completely changing the computer interface doing without keyboards or the computer mouse" Waewick explains

8l. The Brain becomes a mouse

A device the size of the TIP of the ball point pen implanted in the brain of a 53 year old American, Paralyzed and left mute by stroke, is allowing him to communicate through a computer. A Team from Emery Univ.in Atlanda inserted the device six months ago into the brain of a patient(WITH THE WRITTEN CONSENT)identified only as J.R, who could communicate only by blinking. Now he can use his brain power to transmit signals through an antenna--like a coil(visible when an x tray is taken.These signals move a cursor like a mouse across the screen to convey simple messages such as "hello" and "good bye" and to indicate when J;R is hungry or thirsty

8o. PLOWING INTO THE FUTURE

The industrial revolution may have ended the agricultural era. now the information age is revitalizing todays' farming industry.Most growers rely on inution and experience to decide when to plant, fertilize, and harvest crops.These days a growing inority (8%) are turning to "Precision farming" which uses digital equipment to monitor every stage of growing process.

Beaton's Cranberry growers service in Wareham, Mass, for example, employs digitized maps from photos shot from planes guided by global positioning systems to pinpoint trouble areas and reveal precisely where workers should apply more or less fertilizers creating substantial savings. EVENTUALLY THE PHOTOS COULD BE TAKEN FROM FIXED SATELITES FOR ON-DEMAND UPDATES

8q. A LITMUS TEST FOR YOUR IQ.

Why go through the trouble of taking an IQ test, when you have got chemistry at ur finger tips. Researchers at Englands' John Radcliffe hospital, in Oxford report that our Brain pH--HOW ACIDIC OR ALKALINE UT IS might be a clue for our intelligence.Using a resource of MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROCOPE (MRS), A CLOSE COUSIN OF MRI.The smarter the person, mor alkaline the brain suggests that a mor alkaline brain might allow nerve impulses to move faster producing a quicker mind in every sense.The finding raises a question of whether w might one day be able to turbo-charge our brain by altering it's pH. SO FAR there is no hard evidence that boosting the speed of our neurons results in increased smarts, or that we can raise our brains' pH by eating certain type of foods. Eurekkkka
