Question and Answer / When Did Humans Get Talky?
August 04, 2007, 11:16:34 PM


When Did Humans Get Talky? - Did intelligence determine human speech or did human speech make us super-intelligent?
By: Stefan Anitei, Science Editor - Softpedia


The first human slang could have been a rudimentary system of visual, tactile and auditive calls, resembling animal communication. But when we acquired the ability of representing objects through symbols and communicate to another individual our own mental creations, we turned ourselves different from the rest of the living things. Speech had 'emerged'.

The skill of articulating words with meaning fascinated the philosophers of all epochs. Plato was asking about the relation between the words and the things they designed. The creationist theories solved this attributing to a divine being the genesis of the language. But after Darwinism, paleontologists and linguists looked for the "missing link", the prodigious factor that opened the door towards words.

The most common question is: is speech born or acquired? When did we get the skill? Which are the factors of the natural selection that contributed to this? Did its emergence boost the development of our intelligence or did our intelligence determine the emergence of the speech? How could the brain have organized the structures that allowed the speech?

We clearly know that the first symbolic language emerged 2.5 million years ago, when Homo habilis started to fabricate the first stone tools. This ability surely played a key role in the development of symbolic communication. Instead, articulating went perfecting till Homo sapiens, who was already emitting sounds similar to that spoken by modern humans.

The mouth, nose and larynx ended by transforming themselves into a refined apparatus, in which the air was converted into vowels and consonants due to a better position of the tongue and lips. Moreover, the acquisition of a grammar and syntax was the result of an evolutionary process, while the writing ability was the consequence of the phonetic interpretation of the primitive icons.

Bipedalism (walking on two feet) released the hands from the locomotory function; the use of the free hands led to the development of the brain and of the speech. In fact, all the functions necessary for controlling the language (articulating control, data storing and integration of the grammar rules) have their centers in the left hemisphere, the same that controls the movements of the right hand and 99 % of the humans are right-handed.

That's why some researchers consider the two skills (speech and hand use)are connected to bipedalism. Others think that the use of the right hand was anterior to the speech and this fixed in the same hemisphere because at the beginning humans communicated with their hands.

Most of Sex Change Operations Are Harmful or Disappointing - Social rejection and no sex
By: Stefan Anitei, Science Editor - Softpedia


Some men do not feel men enough. Others love men. And some others feel like a woman. And there are women that feel like a man, too. Many of those who have been through sex change operations claim it was the only solution to a stressful condition. But others disagree.

"I should never have had sex change surgery," Claudia MacLean, a transsexual woman told the audience at a recent debate organized by the BBC Radio 4 programme Hecklers and the Royal Society of Medicine in London.

"As a result of the surgery, I am incapable of sex and I have lived a life apart."

Julie Bindel, a leading feminist campaigner and journalist, leads this campaign attempting to persuade medics and trans people that sex change surgery is a harmful mutilation, based on unscientific
ideas.

The statement that someone can be "born into the wrong sex" is a deeply threatening concept. Many feminists think that typically masculine or feminine behaviors and feelings are socially determined.

Many in the transsexual lobby say that the tendency to feel masculine or feminine is innate and displaying that gender stereotypical behaviors could be "natural" rather than a social learning. That's why Bindel has a strong political motivation for her skepticism about sex change surgery.

But beyond politics, medical research on transsexualism misses scientific evidence of satisfactory outcomes for patients and there are many stories of post-operative regret.

"I was referred for surgery after a single 45 minute consultation. At no time did I say to that psychiatrist that I felt like a woman. In my opinion what happened to me was all about money." said Claudia.

Another person who expressed publicly regrets about having had sex change surgery is Charles Kane who, as Sam Hashimi, subject of a BBC documentary, showed Sam, a transsexual woman, undergoing a reverse surgery, to be a man again.

"My desire to become a woman had developed following a nervous breakdown," said Charles.

These feelings were induced by a longing to retreat into a fantasy character, not by a real crisis of gender identity.

"When I was in the psychiatric hospital there was a man on one side of me who thought he was King George and another guy on the other side who thought he was Jesus Christ. I decided I was Sam."

Other trans people, like Miranda Ponsonby, say the lack of willingness from society to accept transsexual people can make the surgery rather ineffective. She felt like a woman in a man's body from a young age but following surgery, she has lived a life apart. The results are not the expected ones and she prefers not to have done it.

Of course, there are also stories of overwhelming satisfaction, not just of disappointment and regret. But there isn't any scientific research to asses the overall level of satisfaction following such surgery.

A review made at the School of Health and Related Research at Sheffield University points the poor quality of research in this domain and "little robust evidence exists" on the outcomes for sex change surgery patients.

"The problem is that we tend to lose touch with our patients after a relatively short period of time following surgery." said Dr Kevan Wylie, head of the British body looking into standards of care for sex change surgery patients.

Some local health authorities do not fund sex change operations due to the lack of evidence about the surgical efficacy and psychological benefits of the procedure.

How Did the Human Speech Appear? - 3 hypotheses
By: Stefan Anitei, Science Editor - Softpedia


The complex human speech is one of our traits that definitely separates us not only from other animals, but also perhaps from our extinct relatives. It is believed that Homo sapiens appeared about 150,000 years ago, but a sudden boost in its evolution was given by the emergence of the language some 50,000 years ago.

The speech can develop only inside a community and at the age when the brain is growing. Famous cases of children lost in the forests and found years later shows that learning the speech requires early interaction with the others.

The brain center of the speech is clearly located in the cortex, as proven by strokes affecting the speech center. One question is: which was the first, the thinking or the speech. "Functionalist" school says the thinking; "relativist" school claims that is was the language.

Many ape individuals, of bonobo, chimps,
gorillas or orangutans have been taught human sign languages or to manage graphic or computer symbols. Some can learn up to 1,000 words (up to 40 new words daily), but their temporal consciousness is null.

The today's about 6,000 languages are believed to have rooted in a sole mother language, as human are believed to have formed just a small population of about 1,000 individuals 50,000 years ago. By now, three super-families of human languages.

Searching the root of the human languages, some scientific hypotheses have been formulated:

1. The etno-botanist Terence McKenna believed that the ability to process information would have increased when the first humans included in their diet psilocybin, a psychoactive alkaloid found in a sum of mushrooms. This alkaloid activates newly evolved brain parts, like the Neocortex and the Broca's area (linked to articulated speech).

Neolithic wall paintings found at Tassili-n-Ajjer (Sahara) depict a shaman with the hands full of mushrooms, fact that corroborates this theory.

2. The "evolutionist argument" sustains that the anatomy of the speech is too complex so that its emergence could be explained as the end of a chain of brain innovations, a series of mechanism whose existence supposes a clear advantage. It other words, speech served primordially for reproduction and basic humans relations linked to survival.

3. The American linguist Noam Chomsky said we are born with a speech organ, a computational system emerged through a sole mutation, a trait appeared in a moment of biological complexity. He brings as an evidence the fact that under the diversity of the human languages, the linguistic analysis reveals a common structure which could be considered innate and characteristic to the species.

In 2001, an American team found on the chromosome 7 a gene whose lack amongst the member of a family produced severe difficulties for building phrases and understanding them, even if those persons were really intelligent. This shows that language is not connected to overall intelligence and also the fact that there is a genetic base for the speech, supporting Chomsky’s hypothesis.

Weird and Extreme / A 7-Legged Hermaphrodite Lamb!

The 7-legged lamb

A 7-Legged Hermaphrodite Lamb! - Born in New Zealand
By: Stefan Anitei, Science Editor - Softpedia



One more leg, and this would have been an octopus in disguise. A six-day-old lamb born at a veterinary clinic on New Zealand's South Island came to this world on its seven legs! "Two of the extra legs hang useless behind the lamb's forelegs. The animal has three hind legs, one of them with two hoofs. It walks using
its two forelegs and three hind legs," the Ashburton Guardian newspaper said.

The seven-legged lamb was born at the farm of Dave and Di Callaghan and has a normal twin sibling. "I didn't think there was anything wrong until I went back later in the day and saw it struggling to get up. I have never seen anything like that," recalled Dave Challaghan the day of Friday.

"It's quite a happy bright wee lamb, he's just slowly going downhill really. I believe an error during embryo formation had resulted in the lamb being born polydactyl - with many legs - a condition that occurs once in several million sheep. The lamb is also hermaphrodite and missing a portion of its bowel so is unable to pass feces and will have to be destroyed. To keep it alive is probably inhumane really," veterinarian Steve Williams at the Canterbury Vets clinic in the rural town of Methven told the Ashburton Guardian. (we feel that we must correct the veterinarian: "polydactylia" means more digits, the correct term is "polymelia" for extra-limbs)

Polymelia is rare among both humans and animals. It is more common in frogs and toads, but researches link it to impairments during the metamorphosis due to contaminants found in the environment or to parasitic worms.

Last month, a four-legged baby girl was born is South Africa and a similar case of polymelia associated with hermaphrodism was encountered in Wisconsin, US: a 7-legged intersex deer. But the deer had a functional organism, and it managed to reach adulthood.

Woman Had a Soda Bottle Stuffed in Her Vagina! - She may experience fertility problems
By: Stefan Anitei, Science Editor - Softpedia


A trauma caused by a rape is severe, but in this case the trauma is double: a raped woman in Meru (Kenya) had a 300-ml soda bottle stuffed in her vagina. Doctors at Meru General Hospital were shocked by the incident after the 20-year-old victim turned back for treatment, two weeks after the ordeal.

The bottle had been pushed in her genitalia by the men that raped her. The event took place on the night of June 26 at Sumbuiga trading center, a few km
from Meru Town. The woman, mother of two, had been invited for drinks before she was forced into an incomplete building and raped. She was found unconscious the following morning.

The team doctors managed to successfully remove the bottle. "We had to operate on her as if she was having a baby," said Dr Justus Waweru Ngatia, a consultant gynecologist at the hospital who carried out the operation.

"When the victim went to the hospital complaining of acute abdominal pains, she was immediately admitted. She came walking normally accompanied by her sister but on examining her, we formed the opinion that she required an emergency operation," said Ngatia. "A lot of puss was found around the fallopian tubes and the uterus which could have been caused by the contaminated bottle, besides the sexual assault. The infection of the reproductive organs of the victim could complicate her future attempts to conceive." he added.

Still, the victim responded well to treatment, and after the pus was drained from her abdomen, she had also received anti-retrovirals, having to stay hospitalized for another 10 days. "The victim walked with the bottle in her body for two days before she was admitted for the operation."

The woman did not know she was bearing a foreign object in her abdomen until the pains turned unbearable. She could have been drugged before the assault. Doctors said "she was traumatized and that even after the operation, she could not willingly open up and say what happened on the day she was with the suspects at Sumbuiga."

Sanju Baghat before the surgery

The Man That Carried a Parasite Twin Inside His Stomach for 36 Years! - The worst case of fetus in fetu
By: Stefan Anitei, Science Editor - Softpedia



This story seems taken from the X-Files or a Stephen King novel, but it is in fact the most severe case of fetus in fetu ever recorded. It occurs in 1 in 500,000 live births and it is a developmental abnormality in which a parasitic twin fetus grows within its host twin.

This phenomenon takes place very early in a twin pregnancy, when one fetus wraps around and envelops the other. The dominant fetus develops "normally", while its twin turns into a parasite, feeding off its host twin's blood supply. The parasitic
twin is anencephalic (without a brain) and lacks many internal organs, being unable to survive on its own.

Normally, both twins die before birth; but this was not the case. If both survive, the parasitic twin grows so big that it starts to harm the host, which requires surgery.

The host twin can look pregnant, like the case of Sanju Bhagat, from Nagpur, India. His stomach was so swollen that he looked as if nine months pregnant and he barely could barely breathe. The big belly made the man feel uncomfortable all his life, but the problem worsened one night in June 1999. The 36 year-old man was brought to the hospital, where doctors believed they had to operate a giant tumor. "Basically the size of the tumor was so big that it was pressing on his diaphragm and that's why he was very breathless. Because of the sheer size of the tumor, it makes it difficult [to operate]. We anticipated a lot of problems," said Dr. Ajay Mehta of Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai.

Mehta was able to detect a tumor just after starting an operation, but in this case, gallons of fluid spilled out while he was cutting deeper and deeper and then something odd occurred. "To my surprise and horror, I could shake hands with somebody inside [Bhagat's belly]. It was a bit shocking for me." remembered Mehta.

"He just put his hand inside and he said there are a lot of bones inside [the belly]. First, one limb came out then another limb came out. Then some part of genitalia, then some part of hair, some limbs, jaws, limbs, hair.", recalled a colleague.

Inside Bhagat's stomach they encountered a bizarre, half-formed creature with feet and hands well developed, and even long fingernails. "We were horrified we were confused and amazed. There are less than 90 cases total recorded in medical literature," said Mehta.

The most unusual aspect of the case is that Bhagat had been unaware that he carried his twin inside for 36 years.

Inside Bhagat there was no placenta, the parasite twin was connected directly to his blood supply. Immediately after the surgery, Bhagat's pain and inability to breathe vanished and he recovered quickly, allowing him a normal life.

There was also another case, a Kazakh boy, who was found at 7 years old with the parasitic twin, and operated.

BEAUTIFUL STORY TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE

There was once this guy who is very much in love with his girl. This romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift to his girl. Although, at that time he was just a small fry in his company, his future didn't seem too bright, they were very happy together. Until one day, his girl told him she was going to Paris and will never come back. She also told him that she cannot visualize any future for the both of them, so they went their own ways there and then... Heartbroken, the guy agreed. But when he regained his confidence, he worked hard day and night, slogging his body and mind just to make something out of himself. Finally with all the hard work and the help of friends, this guy had set up his own company .. You never fail until you stop trying. One rainy day, while this guy was driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella in the rain walking to some destination. Even with the umbrella, they were still drenched. It didn't take him long to realize they were his girl's parents. With a heart in getting back at them, he drove slowly beside the couple, wanting them to spot him in his luxury sedan. He wanted them to know that he wasn't the same any more; he had his own company, car, condo, etc. He made it! What he saw next confused him, the couple was walking towards a cemetery, and so he got out of his car and followed...and he saw his girl, a photograph of her smiling sweetly as ever at him from her tombstone and he saw his paper cranes right beside her... Her parents saw him. He asked them why this had happened. They explained, she did not leave for France at all. She was ill with cancer. She had believed that he will make it someday, but she did not want to be his obstacle... therefore she had chosen to leave him. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. She had wanted her parents to put his paper cranes beside her, because, if the day comes when fate brings him to her again...he can take some of those back with him... Once you have loved, you will always love. For what's in your mind may escape but what's in your heart will remain forever. The guy just wept...The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside her knowing you can't have her, see her or be with her ever again.........hope you understand. Find time to realize that there is one person who means so much to you, for you might wake up one morning losing that person who you thought meant nothing to you.

Health and Food / 8 Urban Myths about Foods

8 Urban Myths about Foods - Absurd concepts about what and how we eat
By: Stefan Anitei, Science Editor - Softpedia



Urban myths have some common points: they are absurd, and the more absurd they are, the more widespread they get. Myths about food make some people pay attention rather to what an illiterate has to say than a doctor in nutrition. However, in many cases, these myths manage to confuse and mystify even educated people. Here are 8 busted myths:

1. Drinking too much coffee can indeed induce sluggishness, unnatural and unhealthy heart beats, and can trigger heart problems. Sleep is affected and the caffeine can make you lose calcium through urine.

But moderate amounts have been proven to protect the skin against UV radiation, and are beneficial against eye spasm, gout, muscular and joint pain. They also decrease insulin levels. Moreover, coffee increases sexual drive!

Still, pregnant women should limit their consumption of caffeine to a maximum of 300 mg daily (about 4 cups of instant coffee),

2. A common myth says that you should avoid high-cholesterol eggs. "Although they contain cholesterol, it is now known that cholesterol from our diet has little influence on blood cholesterol concentrations in healthy people," said Lisa Miles, Nutrition Scientist at the British Nutrition Foundation.

"Eggs are a source of protein. They also provide vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, niacin, biotin and vitamin B12."

We should add that they are one of the richest sources of iron, calcium and phosphorus for the organism. Eggs for breakfast have been proven to induce a lower calorie consumption for the rest of the day!

3. "Five-a-day" pre-packed salads will bring all the vitamins necessary daily. This is just advertising!

"It's much better to buy fresh and make your own. Pre-packaged salad is very expensive and has been cut up so the vitamin content is reduced or non-existent. It is washed in a chlorine solution and prepared in a way that means it doesn't appear to deteriorate even though it may be up to a month old", explained nutritional therapist Jane Frank.

4. Fat is totally bad for you. Wait a minute: this is true only for the artery-hardening saturated fats, like animal lard! But your body requires 'good fats' for its health.

Polyunsaturated fats from sunflower, soya, sesame and corn oils, monounsaturated fats like olive and rapeseed oils and omega 3 fats (essential fatty acids which cannot be synthesized in the body in sufficient levels) from oily fish like pilchards, sardines, salmon and mackerel are crucial for our normal functioning.

Do not forget that some vitamins are found only associated with fat, like vitamin A and D, while some hormones are just fats, like the sex hormones (testosterone, progesterone) and stress hormones (cortisol).

5. Skipping breakfast will help you slim!

Actually, it’s quite the opposite. Skipping breakfast rises the need to overcompensate and eat more (and often junk food) later in the day, even have copious dinners. Just before sleeping, when all that you have ingested several hours before goes right to the fat stores. If you want to get slim, what you have to do is the opposite: light dinners!

6. "Diet" drinks satisfy a sweet tooth while keeping you slim.

"Sugar substitutes are 1000 sweeter than sugar so they are
going to make you crave far more of the stuff! You can lose sweet cravings but not if you eat or drink things with sugar substitutes in. It's much better to drink plenty of water and eat fresh fruit" said Liz Tucker, health and wellbeing consultant.

"One theory is that the high sweetness of all soft drinks makes a person more prone to eat sugary, fattening foods. Another is that the caramel content of soft drinks promotes metabolic changes that lead to insulin resistance," said Dr. Ramachandran Vasan, professor of medicine at Boston University School of Medicine, senior author of a recent study showing that "light" sodas induce the same effects as sugary sodas: metabolic syndrome issues, like diabetes and cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, elevated levels of the blood triglycerides (saturated fats) and low levels of the artery-protecting HDL cholesterol.

7. Fresh food is a waste. In fact, juice extractors are fabulous for using up any 'surplus.'

"Frozen, chilled, canned and dried fruit and vegetables all also count towards five a day, as does 100% juice." said Miles. Moreover, dried fruits or fresh fruits juices are much tastier and healthy, without the huge amounts of added sugar and additives. Drink natural juices, not water mixed with sugar!

8. Chocolate is regarded as the devil's temptation, do not touch it, it instantly makes you fat!

Researches have proved that chocolate has numerous beneficial effects on your health: it has antibiotic properties, boosts memory, increases brain's levels of serotonin ("feel good" hormone), acts like a neuronal disinhibitor that increases audacity, attraction, excitement, and giddiness; improves the blood circulation, with good effects on preventing heart disease, brain aging and ... of course, boosting erection!

It is also rich in iron and magnesium. A 1999 research at Harvard University even discovered that chocolate consumers live almost one year more than those who do not eat chocolate.

Coffee, Found to Be the Secret of a Healthy Skin - Combined with exercising
By: Stefan Anitei, Science Editor - Softpedia


Among the multitude of studies revealing the good and the bad effects of caffeine, here comes a Rutgers study showing that coffee and exercising are the secret of a healthy skin. Regular exercise is regarded as a healthy lifestyle for many people, but coffee consume is not. However, apparently the combination could prevent sun-induced skin cancer.

In the US, sunlight-induced skin
cancer is the main cancer type, with over 1 million new cases annually.

The skin cancer inducing ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation could be stopped by moderate caffeine intake and exercise, as these two factors seem to inhibit precancerous cells, with DNA broken by UVB-rays.

Hairless mice, with skin exposed to the sun, were tested while one group drank caffeinated water (the human equivalent of 1-2 coffee cups daily); another group voluntarily exercised on a running wheel; and a third set both drank and ran. A fourth control group didn’t exercise and didn’t drink caffeine, either.

All of the individuals were exposed to UVB radiation generating lamps. Mice's skin cells experimented some level of programmed cell death (apoptosis) in the DNA-damaged cells of all four groups, but the degree of apoptosis varied within the group. "If apoptosis takes place in a sun-damaged cell, its progress toward cancer will be aborted," said co-author Allan Conney, director of Rutgers’ Cullman Laboratory.

The degree of apoptosis was assessed through physical changes in the cells but also by using chemical markers, like caspase-3, an enzyme linked to killing DNA-damaged cells, and p53, a tumor suppressor. "The differences between the groups in the formation of UVB-induced apoptotic cells â€" those cells derailed from the track leading to skin cancer â€" were quite dramatic," Conney said.

The caffeine drinkers displayed an about 95 % rise in UVB-induced apoptosis, the exercising mice a 120 % increase, while the mice that both ingested caffeine and exercising an increase of 400 %; all compared to the control group. "The most dramatic and obvious difference between the groups came from the caffeine-drinking runners, a difference that can likely be attributed to some kind of synergy," Conney said.

The clear reasons for such an effect are not known. "We need to dig deeper into how the combination of caffeine and exercise is exerting its influence at the cellular and molecular levels, identifying the underlying mechanisms. With an understanding of these mechanisms we can then take this to the next level, going beyond mice in the lab to human trials. With the stronger levels of UVB radiation evident today and an upward trend in the incidence of skin cancer among Americans, there is a premium on finding novel ways to protect our bodies from sun damage.", Conney said.

Why Do Humans Have Sex? For 237 Reasons... - There's a much more complex motivation than previously thought
By: Stefan Anitei, Science Editor - Softpedia



Many scientists assume people have sex for simple and straightforward reasons such as to experience sexual pleasure or to reproduce, but a new research at The University of Texas at Austin reveals hundreds of varied and complex motivations that range from the spiritual to the vengeful.

After conducting one of the most comprehensive studies on why people have sex, psychology researchers David Buss and Cindy Meston uncovered 237 motivations, which appear in the August issue of Archives of Sexual
Behavior.

People’s motivations ranged from the mundane ("I was bored") to the spiritual ("I wanted to feel closer to God") and from the altruistic ("I wanted the person to feel good about himself/herself") to the manipulative ("I wanted to get a promotion"). Some said they had sex to feel powerful, others to debase themselves. Some wanted to impress their friends, others to harm their enemies ("I wanted to break up a rival’s relationship").

Buss and Meston conducted two studies. In the first, they asked more than 400 men and women to identify reasons people have sex. In the second, the researchers asked more than 1,500 undergraduate students about their experiences and attitudes.

The Texas psychologists identified four major factors and 13 sub-factors for why people have sex:

• Physical reasons such as to reduce stress ("It seemed like good exercise"), feel pleasure ("It’s exciting"), improve or expand experiences ("I was curious about sex"), and the physical desirability of their partner ("The person was a good dancer").
• Goal-based reasons, including utilitarian or practical considerations ("I wanted to have a baby"), social status ("I wanted to be popular") and revenge ("I wanted to give someone else a sexually transmitted disease").
• Emotional reasons such as love and commitment ("I wanted to feel connected") and expression ("I wanted to say ‘thank you’").
• Insecurity-based reasons, including self-esteem ("I wanted the attention"), a feeling of duty or pressure ("My partner kept insisting") and to guard a mate ("I wanted to keep my partner from straying").

"Why people have sex is extremely important, but rarely studied," Buss said. "Surprisingly, many scientists assume the answer is obvious, but people have different reasons for having sex, some of which are rather complex."

Huang Chuncai

A 15 Kg (33.3 Pounds) Face Tumor! - On a Chinese man
By: Stefan Anitei, Science Editor - Softpedia



We know the case of that Romanian woman, Lucica Bunghez, with a tumor of 80 kg (176 pounds), heavier than her own body, but when the tumor actually hangs on the face, it does not need to grow that big to induce more severe effects.

Huang Chuncai, 31, a Chinese man from the southern province of Hunan, has a crippling 15 kg (33.3 pounds) tumor drooping from his head and face. It is the biggest facial tumor ever. The man can hardly
speak as the excrescence is so enormous that he has to cradle it when he stands.

His left eye is completely covered, while his left ear is found on his shoulder. The right ear and jaw have been also compassed by the tumor. The tumor makes Huang experience continual pain and deprived him of a social life.
Huang is going to undergo a life-threatening surgery to remove the tumor.

"Because I am going to have surgery, I am afraid of how everything will turn out," he said.

His face and head swelled from his childhood.

"His mother said he should be a government official when he grew up because his head was so big. His head got bigger and bigger each year," said neighbour Huang Bamei.

Clinical data from a hospital in the city of Guangzhou show that the tumor is roughly 57 cm (22.4 inches) long and has a 97 cm (38 inches) circumference; the man is 135 cm (4 ft 5 inches) tall. He lost all teeth at the age of 25 and his backbone got malformed due to the enormous weight of the malformation.

His mother hopes he could live a normal life after surgery.

"I am holding his hand, patting his head, and he told me: 'Don't cry mother. I should get better. Everything that can be cured, will be cured.' I love him a lot," said Huang's mother, He Baohua.

Huang suffers from neurofibromatosis, a genetic disease affecting primarily the development and growth of the nervous tissues. The tumors grow initially on nerves but they extend on the skin and bones. Even if hereditary in most cases, almost 30-50 % of new cases emerge spontaneously.

Surgery can work in some bone malformations and eliminate painful or disfiguring tumors, but they could regrow in larger numbers.

Ultrasound technique showed that Huang's tumor is filled with blood vessels and if surgeons do not manage to block hemorrhaging for any reason, he could experience a deadly blood loss in two minutes.

Radar and Thumbelina

World's Largest and Smallest Horses - From 25 to 1,215 kg!
By: Stefan Anitei, Science Editor - Softpedia



It is true that the oldest horse, Hyracotherium, was the size of a fox. And it's equally true that the closest relatives of horses, donkeys and zebras are the rhinoceros. And the world's records in horse sizes do vary from a fox to a rhinoceros.

The largest horses in the world belong to the
English breed Shire. These horses are often taller than 1.8 m (6 ft) and reach a weight of one tone (almost as much as a rhino), while average horses have 0.3-0.4 tones.

Still, the current Guinness World Record is held by a Belgian draft horse called Radar. Radar is about 6ft 7½in (1.99 m) tall. A horse's height is measured along the front leg to the top of the shoulder.

The Belgian draft horses are generally meek and due to their enormous size, they have a huge power: they can drag up to 5 tones and in some areas, they are still traditionally used with all the modern mechanization.

Radar, 9 years old, weighs 2,700 lbs (1,215 kg), as much as an average black rhino. He lives in Mount Pleasant, Texas.
Still, a Tennessee Shire horse located on a farm 65 mi (104 km) northeast of Chattanooga could be the tallest horse in the world. At an official measuring yesterday, Jenson Diplomat Tina measured 2.02 m (6 ft 8.5 in), but she weighs just ...1600 pounds (720 kg).

The documentation of her height will be sent to Guinness, based in London.

"She is still a teenager in horse years. But she is beginning to put on muscle and weight on her back as she grows. She still has at least two years of growth," said owner Jim Williams.

The smallest horses in the world belong to the Argentinean breed Falabella, which never reach a height which over 70 cm. Most Fallabellas are stubborn, clever and often dog-like in loyalty, which makes them ideal pets.

Still, Thumbelina, a 6-years-old miniature sorrel brown mare is the world's 'Smallest Living Horse', having a height of 17.5 inch (43 cm) and a weight of 57lbs (25 kg). The cocker spaniel-sized mare lives in St Louis.

The amazing pair Radar-Thumbelina will enter the 2008 edition of the Guinness Book Of Records in America, which is out next month.

"Radar looked a bit confused when he first met Thumbelina." said an onlooker.

What Turns You Into a Mosquito Magnet? - Genetics and exercising
By: Stefan Anitei, Science Editor - Softpedia


The mosquito is much more dangerous than just the cause of a nasty itching. At the tropics, malaria is the greatest killer and mosquito-transmitted West Nile virus and it’s already present in the US. Mosquitoes have been around for at least 175 million years and they are here to stay, with all our efforts of fighting against this ‘plague’. In the US alone, there are over 170 species.

But for example when you are out on a picnic you may be the target of all the mosquitoes around, while your buddies can remain completely ‘untouched’. ‘How come’ you might ask? Is it true that mosquitoes are attracted by certain individuals? "One in 10 people are highly attractive to mosquitoes," said Dr. Jerry Butler, professor emeritus at the University of Florida.

There are about 400 different chemicals emitted by the human skin and which the researchers have just begun to investigate, and which are connected with our ‘attractiveness’ for the mosquitoes. It seems that 85% of our vulnerability to mosquitoes is in our genes. "People with high concentrations of steroids or cholesterol on their skin surface attract mosquitoes," Butler told WebMD. "That doesn't necessarily mean that mosquitoes prey on people with higher overall levels of cholesterol, These people simply may be more efficient at processing cholesterol, the byproducts of which remain on the skin's surface," added Butler.

"Mosquitoes also target people who produce excess amounts of certain acids, such as uric acid," added entomologist Dr. John Edman, spokesman for the Entomological Society of America. "These substances can trigger mosquitoes' sense of smell, luring them to land on unsuspecting victims. But the process of attraction begins long before the landing. Mosquitoes can smell their dinner from an impressive distance of up to 50 meters (166 ft). This doesn't bode well for people who emit large quantities of carbon dioxide." said Edman.

"Any type of carbon dioxide is attractive, even over a long distance. Larger people tend to give off more carbon dioxide, which is why mosquitoes typically prefer munching on adults to small children. Pregnant women are also at increased risk, as they produce a greater-than-normal amount of exhaled carbon dioxide. Movement and heat also attract mosquitoes." said Dr. Joe Conlon, technical advisor to the American Mosquito Control Association.

So, practicing sports in a mosquito infested area is a bad idea. As you run, the mosquitoes detect your movement and head towards you. Panting means that you dump more carbon dioxide that forms tracks luring the mosquitoes. The uric acid from your sweat has the same effect. In this case, there is no need for a special body chemistry. "Some of the worst mosquito populations exist along coastal areas," Conlon told WebMD. "They'll fly 40 miles (64 km) for a meal,"
said Conlon.

Mosquitoes will breed with any water source, but they thrive in the case of stagnant water. That's why you should prefer a babbling brook to a pond on you backyard. "Even in a desert area, mosquito biting tends to be intense around a water source," said Conlon.

Mountain trips will get you rid off mosquitoes? "Although they're generally not active below 55o F (12.7o C), mosquitoes have been sighted in the Himalayan Mountains," Conlon told WebMD.

Arctic climates is what defeats them? "You're safe for most of the year. But mosquitoes flock there for a brief, three-week period between July and August. The Arctic National Refuge is one big bog, making the mosquito population there second only to that in the Florida Everglades." explained Conlon.

The chemical of choice used in repellents, since 1957, is DEET. By now, it is the most effective.

A new research found that repellents with 23.8% DEET (most contain 10-30%) protect for about five hours. For infants over 2 months DEET is safe only in concentrations lower than 10%. Picaridin, used since 1998, is as effective as DEET is, but it’s more pleasant as it has a light, clean feel and is odorless.
Other recommendation is lemon eucalyptus oil, traded as Repel. Lemon eucalyptus is safe for children older than 3 years.

The IR3535, commonly known as Avon's Skin-So-Soft, is weaker than DEET. "[DEET] has been in use for over 40 years and has a remarkable safety record. Only few hospitalizations have been reported, mainly due to gross overuse," Conlon told WebMD.

DEET must be used sparingly, and near open skin, eyes, mouth, and nose, under clothing, or near food must be avoided. Repeated applications can rise the potential toxic effects of DEET.

Other alternatives are soybean oil-based repellent, which was found to protect from mosquito bites for about 1.5 hours, and other short-lived protection oils -- citronella, cedar, peppermint, lemongrass, and geranium. Still, eucalyptus oil can have longer-lasting protection.

Mosquito traps can also offer protection. They emit mosquitoes attracting factors, like carbon dioxide, heat, moisture, and others, trapping or destroying mosquitoes. When located in good breeding spots, "they have knocked [mosquito] populations down," Conlon told WebMD.

Who Says That Men Don't Remember  Anniversaries?

A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in their bed. She puts on her robe and goes
downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.

"What's the matter, dear?" she whispers as she steps into the room."Why are you down here at this time of night?" The husband looks up from his coffee. "Do you remember twenty years ago when we were dating, and you were only 16?" he asks solemnly. "Yes, I do," she replies...The husband paused. The words were not coming easily. "Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my
car "Yes, I remember" said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him. The husband continued. "Do you remember when he shoved
the shotgun in my face and said, 'Either you marry my daughter, or I will send you to jail for twenty years?" "I remember that, too" she replied softly.

He wiped another tear from his cheek and said..."Laya na sana ako ngayon."

Do Slimming Pills Really Make You Slim? - Some are bogus, others have really nasty secondary effects
By: Stefan Anitei, Science Editor - Softpedia



The only magical formula to get slim is combining diet and exercising. But in the case of the persons that are prone to obesity, drugs and natural products can help, as long as they are taken under the medical control, as most of them have secondary effects.

Orlistat is commercialized under the name of Xenical, and blocks an intestinal enzyme impeding the digestion of 32 % of the fats. But this is effective only in the case of diets rich in fats and fibers. Amongst one of its secondary effects is the fecal incontinence.

Sibutramine is traded under the name of Reductil in Europe and Meridia in the US and acts on the brain, inhibiting the hunger sensation. There have been great polemics about the influence this drug could have had in the death of 34 persons at the beginning of the 2000. The victims were from the US, Italy, UK, Switzerland, and South Africa. This drug was removed from the market in Italy.

Amongst its side effects are dry mouth, paradoxically increased appetite, nausea, strange taste in the mouth, anorgasmia and delayed ejaculation, upset stomach, constipation, trouble sleeping, dizziness, drowsiness, menstrual cramps/pain, headache, flushing, or joint/muscle pain.

The plant products for slimming base their fame on data not so scientific. This way, the draining remedies stimulate the urine production, but they do not eliminate the fat. And the effect of the chitosan, a polymer found in the shell of the crustaceans (shrimps, crabs, lobsters) has not been proved.

Animal tests revealed that type 2 Gonadotropin-releasing hormone, initially checked for its effect of stimulating female libido (sex drive) has also been found to decrease interest in food, besides typical mating behavior, by a third.

This could be the first "lifestyle drug" that works on both the sex drive and the appetite.

A recent survey showed that obesity pill boost suicidal thoughts or actions. The drug rimonabant is commercialized as Zimulti in the US and in 18 countries under the name of Acomplia. This drug was found to double depression level on patients.

Rimonabant stops the brain's food craving signals by silencing brain receptors linked to intense hunger, the same ones turned on by cannabis smoking.

The televised meeting of the two

Meet the World's Tallest and Shortest Individuals! - Both from the same region of China
By: Stefan Anitei, Science Editor - Softpedia



This is really interesting: the world’s tallest and shortest living individuals are not only both from China, but also from the same region, Inner Mongolia.

Bao Xishun, 56, also named Xi Shun or "The Mast", a 7-foot-9 in herdsman (2.36 m) from Inner Mongolia was confirmed in 2005 by Guinness
World Records as the world's tallest living man.

Bao has no growth disorder like gigantism; he reached his height in a seven-year growth spurt that began when he was 16 and which doctors cannot explain. After a career in the army, where he was recruited for a basketball team, he retreated due

to rheumatism condition and he returned to Inner Mongolia where he works in publicity stunts in addition to herding livestock.

In December 2006, he was asked to help rescue two dolphins at the Royal Jidi Ocean World aquarium, Fushun City, Liaoning, China. The mammals had ingested pieces of plastic and got sick. Doctors at the aquarium could not use surgical instruments to remove the plastic, because the dolphins' stomachs contracted in response to the instruments and the arms of ordinary people were too short to reach the stomachs.

Using his super-long arms, 41.7-inch (1.05 m) in length, Bao reached the plastics in the dolphins' stomachs and pulled them out.

In 24 March 2007 Bao got married to a 28-year-old Chinese woman of normal height. Bao appears in the movie Rush Hour 3.

19-year-old He Pingping, of just 73 centimeters (2.4 feet), is applying for the Guinness World Record as the world's shortest man. He is a native of Huade county, Wulanchabu city, also Inner Mongolia. His father, He Yun, said that, at birth, he was only the size of an adult's palm.

He has two sisters of normal height which are now married. He Pingping suffers from a bone condition called Osteogenesis Imperfecta which impedes the normal growth of bone and bodily height.

This month, Bao and He have had a televised meeting that attracted global media attention.

This 113-year old dime, one of only nine surviving examples made in 1894 at the San Francisco Mint, has been sold by an Oakland, California collector to a New York City banker for a record $1.9 million


The Dime That's Worth $1.9 Million - The Holy Grail of dimes
By: Lucian Dorneanu, Science Editor - Softpedia


The dime is a coin worth ten cents, or one tenth of a United States dollar, the smallest in diameter and thinnest of all currently circulating coins. These days, there's not much you can buy with a dime in the US, unless you happen to have an exclusive model, that's worth $1.9 million.

The $1.9 million dime was produced at the stately Old Mint on Fifth Street, in San Francisco, and it is known as a Barber-style dime, featuring an image of Liberty on the obverse. It has a Phrygian cap, a laurel wreath with a ribbon, and a headband with
the inscription "LIBERTY." On the reverse, a wreath of corn and wheat are imprinted along the words "one dime".

It is a 1894-S dime in mint condition, one of only nine known to exist, and one of only 24 known to be coined that year in San Francisco. Not designed for common use, it was meant to be a special gift by the mint director for some visiting big shots, according to a San Francisco Chronicle article.

However, at least one of these rare coins may still be around there somewhere, since the director reportedly gave it to his young daughter, who used it wisely, to buy ice cream. No one knows whether that coin still exists somewhere or if it now lies in a private collection.

"It's the Holy Grail of coins,'' said John Feigenbaum, a 38-year-old coin dealer from Virginia Beach, who flew out of San Jose this week to get the coin from the seller and bring it to the buyer. "But Liberty, how can I say it, she's not the prettiest. Actually, it's considered an ugly coin. Sometimes, ugliness can be attractive.''

The transport of this coin is probably as interesting as the coin itself, as the man bought a coach ticket on a regular plane, wore flip-flops on his feet the whole trip and drove inconspicuous sedans all the way from the airport to the dealer and back.

On the return trip, he could not sleep, drink or eat, and constantly reached for his briefcase, to feel the coin, knowing that taking it out for examination would raise suspicions and possibly some unwanted interest.

The buyer said he had bought it strictly as an investment and did not intend to spend it, so it's likely that the coin will end up in a well guarded safe of the owner, who wanted to remain anonymous, for obvious reasons.

Firefox Speed Tweaks

Yes, firefox is already pretty damn fast but did you know that you can tweak it and improve the speed even more?



That's the beauty of this program being open source.

Here's what you do:

In the URL bar, type “about:config” and press enter. This will bring up the configuration “menu” where you can change the parameters of Firefox.



Note that these are what I’ve found to REALLY speed up my Firefox significantly - and these settings seem to be common among everybody else as well. But these settings are optimized for broadband connections - I mean with as much concurrent requests we’re going to open up with pipelining… lol… you’d better have a big connection.



Double Click on the following settins and put in the numbers below - for the true / false booleans - they’ll change when you double click.



Code:

browser.tabs.
showSingleWindowModePrefs â€" true

network.http.max-connections â€" 48

network.http.max-connections-per-server â€" 16

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy â€" 8

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server â€" 4

network.http.pipelining â€" true

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests â€" 100

network.http.proxy.pipelining â€" true

network.http.request.timeout â€" 300





One more thing… Right-click somewhere on that screen and add a NEW -> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0”. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. Since you’re broadband - it shouldn’t have to wait.


Now you should notice you’re loading pages MUCH faster now!

Facts and Trivia / Sexism Is Widespread in Nature

Sexism Is Widespread in Nature - Females and males alike fall as victims
By: Stefan Anitei, Science Editor - Softpedia


Not only human males are "pigs" and "jerks" and not only women are "bitches". A recent research made at University of Californiaâ€"San Diego shows sexism is rampant throughout the natural world, especially amongst vertebrates. "Females living in the wild routinely fall victim to everything from stereotyping to exclusion from pack activities to sexual harassment," said lead researcher Jennifer Tannen.

"Nowhere is the natural world's gender inequity more transparent, than in the unfair burden females assume for the rearing of offspring. Take the behavior of the ring-neck pheasant (we should add, of all pheasants and related species). After mating, the male immediately abandons the hen, leaving her responsible for the total care for the chicks. For the single mother-to-be, there is no assistance, either in the form of a partner or child support. Pheasants are typical of the natural world," said Tannen.

She omits to signal the reverse: the polyandria, when only the male takes care of the eggs and the offspring, like in nandu, some shore birds or buttonquails.

About 5 % of animal species mate for life (form monogamous pairs).

Tannen says the situation barely improves: females must stay close to the nest to incubate eggs, nurse, and keep watch over the burrow while the males are free to go off hunting and fishing with their friends. This is not very precise: many monogamous males do incubate, and many stay and protect the nest and the offspring when the female is off. "The sexist attitude that child-rearing is 'women's work' is prevalent throughout nature and has been for generations, probably since reptiles first developed mammalian characteristics in the Triassic period," said Tannen.

"Wolves, beavers, gibbons, and a small African antelope known as a dik-dik all live in stable, monogamous pairs," said Tannen, and also many bird species, from penguins, albatrosses and storks to little song birds.

The study points out the cases of sexual abuse and harassment in nature: in 2001 alone, over 170 trillion cases of abuse occurred in the world's forests, grasslands, and oceans. "During the act of mating, the female moose is subject to excessive biting, nipping, and herding. The male has no qualms about using sheer, brute force to overpower his sex partner," said Tannen.

"Then, when it's time for the bull moose to complete the sexual act it's over in about five seconds, with no regard to female pleasure whatsoever. Typical. Adding insult to injury, the bull moose then heads off to mate with dozens more females over a period of two to three weeks, as part of the Mardi Gras-like atmosphere of 'mating season."

Still, for Tannen, this type of polygamy is soft: "To mate, the male Galapagos tortoise simply immobilizes the female with his weight, which, as far as I'm concerned, qualifies as non-consensual sex. Female southern elephant seals gather in large groups during mating season, and each group has a small handful of males who control them like a harem. It's sick." said Tanne.

"When female animals refuse to play along with prescribed gender roles, they are demonized. For example, female foxes, known throughout the animal kingdom for their aggressiveness, are labeled "vixen."" said Tannen.

She should have learned that genetic analysis showed that vixen are promiscuous and in many cases the male brings to the den food for cubes that are not fathered by him. "We've all heard the lurid tales about the female black-widow spider, who kills and eats her mate. The truth is, male spiders encourage their partners to kill them because it increases the time spent mating and, thus, the number of eggs fertilized by his sperm," said Tannen.

This is really an interesting point of view. What about the jacana females that smash the eggs of their female rivals, just to make the males incubate and take care of their own eggs/chicks?

The team detected 24 distinct male issues aimed to maintain sexual inequity, from dominance-asserting behaviors are chest-puffing, plumage-spreading, to antler growth.

Some have counteracted the feminism applied to the animal world. "When given a choice, female green tree frogs gravitate toward males that call the loudest and most often. Female Poecilia reticulata [guppies] go straight to the most brightly colored males. But when males evolve exaggerated secondary sexual traits to attract the opposite sex, suddenly they're the bad guys." replied Glen Otis Brown, author of Forced To Strut: Reverse Sexism In The Animal World, showing that both males and females are victims of "the beauty myth".
Tannen even admits it. "Other than sexual size dimorphism due to same-sex competition, males benefit little from the gender inequity that so strongly favors them."

Because indeed, the peacock's large tail or the deer's large antlers are rather a burden in the struggle for survival.

New Injections Dissolve Body Fat - They are based on bile salt
By: Stefan Anitei, Science Editor


The way you look is a combination of genetics, diet and sports. When all three are not right, the result is lousy. Giving up the habit of eating junk food and starting practicing sports is the nightmare of any couch potato.

Here comes the salvation: some American doctors say a new technique called lipodissolve is a viable alternative to surgical liposuction.
"The procedure, which has yet to be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, involves a series of injections designed to dissolve fat from the stomach and other body areas," CBS News said Wednesday.

The injections are made with PCDC, a solution comprising bile salt, which inside the digestive tract is involved in breaking down fat. "Patients can lose at least a half an inch (1.25 cm) on their waistline per treatment," said Dr. Roger Friedman, medical director of a lipodissolve clinic with offices in Maryland and Virginia.

But critics point out there is no scientific proof about the effectiveness of the injections. "We don't know how it works. They're surmising how it works. We need to have proof before, in good conscience, we can recommend it to more patients," Dr. Alan Gold, president of the American Society Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, told CBS News.

Earlier this year, Japanese researchers have announced they found a method to increase the size of a woman's breasts while performing liposuction at the same time from the stomach and thigh areas. The collected fat would be enriched with stem cells before being injected in the woman's breasts.

Stem cells would then divide to form new fat cells, resulting in a more natural-looking alternative to breast implants. Breast enlargement using fat and stem cells does not create a lumpy effect. "The enhanced breasts are soft and natural, so they are the patient's "real" breasts.", said the researchers from Tokyo University.

Question and Answer / Viagra: Just for Sex?

Viagra: Just for Sex? - This drug could have much more applications
By: Stefan Anitei, Science Editor


The name ‘sildenafil citrate’ probably doesn’t say much to anybody, but its commercial name, Viagra, sounds like the most famous anti-impotence drug for men. But Viagra is also sold as a drug against pulmonary hypertension.

Besides Viagra, there are also other two more recent ED (erectile dysfunction) drugs currently on the market: Levitra (containing the chemical vardenafil), and Cialis (based on tadalafil). They all have the same operational mechanism and the same
side effects.

The most common side effects are headaches and facial flushing, which take place in 15% of the subjects, but also nasal congestion, sneezing, indigestion, back pain, prolonged erections, palpitations and photophobia. These are benign and temporary.

But the most worrying effect of the anti-impotence drugs is the widening of the arteries, translated to low blood pressure, priapism, heart attack, ventricular arrhythmias, stroke and increased intraocular pressure (which induces glaucoma and, in time, even blindness).

People taking organic nitrites or nitrates should never use ED pills. Viagra is also forbidden for men with cardiovascular risk factors, severe hepatic impairment (decreased liver function), severe impairment in renal function, hypotension (low blood pressure), recent stroke or heart attack and hereditary degenerative retinal disorders. Viagra is not recommended to those people who take anti-HIV medication.

Despite these side effects, researchers are investigating whether ED pills might help treat an array of nonsexual issues or not. Viagra â€" being the oldest known amongst these chemicals (marketed since 1996) â€" is also the most studied. Some extra-sexual situations in which Viagra could help are:

• Pulmonary hypertension: under the name Revatio, sildenafil is used against this severe condition of high pressure in the blood vessels leading to the lungs.
• Mountain sickness: Viagra can decrease blood pressure at high altitude, increasing the blood's ability to absorb oxygen.
• Raynaud’s phenomenon: in this condition, exposure to the cold determines spasm of the small arteries that transport blood to the fingers and toes, which turn pale, cold, and painful. Levitra too appeared effective in clinical trials.
• Heart disease: Viagra could be employed in case of congestive heart failure or diastolic dysfunction.
• More: a low-concentration solution of sildenafil in water significantly prolongs the time before cut flowers wilt: from one week to two weeks.

And do not forget: Viagra is not an aphrodisiac, it does not increase sexual desire, it just enhances an erection!...

Technology / Windows History

Q:
I was just wondering about the history of Windows. When did it all get started? Do you have any facts you can share?

A:
There are some pretty interesting facts available out there today. This is a little different question than we normally get, but it's kinda fun, so let's learn about the history of Windows!

You use your computer every day and your Windows operating system is always there to help you get your stuff done. Well, Windows started doing that in November of 1983 and it sold for $100.00 back then. (That's the year I was born, wow!) On down through the 80s, Microsoft kept coming out with different versions. Windows 1.0 in 1985 and 2.0 in 1987 and they both sold for $100.00 as well.

Next, there was Windows 386 and 286 and in 1990, Microsoft announced Windows 3.0, with the full version being sold for $149.95. They even had an upgrade version for $79.95. Version 3.1 came in April of 1992 and there were more than one million copies of it sold in the first two months of its release. In August of 1993, Windows NT 3.1 was released and there was record of over 25 million licensed users by the end of 1993.

There was a couple more years of Windows NT (3.5 and 3.51) and then finally in 1995, Windows 95 was featured and it sold more than one million copies in only four days. Were you one of those buyers?!

Next, Microsoft released NT 4.0 and then a couple versions of CE until the grand feature of Windows 98 in June of 1998. The second edition (98 SE) then came out in May of 1999. Windows 2000 came in February of that year, closely followed by Windows ME (Millennium) in June of 2000.

Of course, next came Windows XP in October 2001 and by this time, of course, Microsoft was ever so popular and just about everyone was using one version or another of Windows. Microsoft came out with the Windows Server 2003 in March 2003 and that was its last launch thus far.

But, on July 23, 2005, they announced the newest version, which will be code named "Longhorn," but will be known to you as Windows Vista. What will they come up with next?!

History of Bluetooth
source: worldstart.com

Recently, we sold a Bluetooth headset that you could use with any media player and your cell phone, among other devices. Unfortunately, we have sold out of those, but since then, I have gotten several e-mails from people wanting to know a little more information on what Bluetooth actually is. I thought it would be neat to give you some history on this new and interesting technology.

First of all, in case some of you don't know, Bluetooth is the common name for the new short range wireless technology that is able to transmit voice and data while working with mobile phones, music players, personal digital assistants (PDA) and computers. For even more information on what Bluetooth does, make sure you check out this tip.

Okay, now for some history. The Bluetooth technology was given its name in reference to the Danish king Harald "Bluetooth" Blaatand. He was the one who unified Denmark and Norway between 940 and 985 AD. The reason Bluetooth is named after him is because it is known to unite the telecom and computing industries today. Makes sense, right?! It's all about unity!

I know this really isn't like the usual tips we run, but I thought some of you might find it interesting! : )

A beta version is basically a test version of a software program. The program has been written and the author(s) think that it is probably bug free, but they aren't 100% sure. So they release a test version. Sometimes the test version is open to the public, sometimes just to a select group.

In any event, if you download a pre-release or beta version of a program, keep in mind that, since it is a test version, you may encounter problems. These problems are generally isolated to the program, but it may accidentally cause damage to other software on your machine (especially shared files). So, beta test at your own risk!

July 27, 2007, 10:30:49 PM
This could be caused by a virus, but before you panic, it could also be missing if, for some unknown reason, Task Manager did not install or was deleted. So, first you should find out if it's there:

Start / Search "all files & folders" for " taskmgr.exe ". This file should be located on your C drive in the Windows / System32 folder.

If not, then all you need to do is restore it from your XP installation disk (now where did I put that thing??)

Found it yet? Good. Put the Windows XP CD into your CD-ROM. If you have Autoplay enabled, the Welcome screen will come upâ€"you can just close out of it.

Click Start / Run then type " cmd " to get a System 32 command prompt then...

Type in the drive letter of your CD-ROM followed by a colon and hit Enter (for example... D: )
At the D: prompt type in "cd \i386" then Enter
Now type in "expand taskmgr.ex_ %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\taskmgr.exe" making sure that you put a space between "ex_" and "%System..."



Then press Enter . The file should extract and install into the proper folder.

Don't believe me? Try Control+Alt+Delete and see if Task Manager comes up.

There you go. Hurray! The Task Manager has returned.

Overclocking is a popular way to get a little more performance from a system. It is often called pushing or speed margining. Sometimes you can force your CPU to run faster than intended, but it does carry some risks such as over-heating, so you should become familiar with all the pros and cons before you attempt it. You don't want all your crucial data going up in smoke!

Overclocking is possible because reputable companies are conservative in their speed rating. Chip manufacturers want to be sure that the chip will run safely at the advertised speed. Overclockers attempt to exploit this conservatism, sometimes successfully and sometimes not.

Attempting to operate hardware in a way that it was not designed to is very risky. Your PC's Circuit timing is very delicate and you can cause subtle problems by messing with it. The average person may not even notice the small performance improvements. You may get a 6-10% speed improvement, but will it make any difference?

If you use your PC primarily for games and graphics, then you might benefit from overclocking. However, I don't think overclocking is necessary or recommended for the average user. It should definitely NOT be attempted by a novice.

Cannabis Makes You Mad - A 41% higher likelihood
By: Stefan Anitei, Science Editor


It is known that cannabis mashes up your brain, affecting brain nuclei even in unborn children, especially the cortex, the brain part involved in thinking, learning, attention and planning. Now a team has come with the strongest proof yet that using cannabis rises the risk of later developing psychotic illnesses like schizophrenia.

Cannabis smokers presented a 41% greater chance of experiencing such disorders than non-smokers. In case of heavy users, the likelihood to develop mental illnesses was even three times higher.

Cannabis is the most commonly used illegal drug worldwide, especially because users regard its effects as mild. In Britain, for example, around 40% of young adults have used cannabis at least once.

Previous studies have pointed to a connection between cannabis and symptoms similar to schizophrenia, like paranoia, hearing voices and visual illusions. "But the possible association has been an issue of tremendous debate and controversy for a long time. The science gets all mixed together with all the ideological views [about the drug]," said Rick Rawson, a professor at the University of California in Los Angeles, US.

Now, a British team has reviewed 35 researches on the long-term effects of cannabis use in Europe, the US and Australia for periods from one to 27 years. Those with pre-existing mental health issues were excluded from the analysis. Even so, there was a higher incidence of psychosis in cannabis users, pointing to the drug as a possible culprit. "Although you cannot be certain that the cannabis is causing this increase in risk, we think there is enough evidence to warn people," says co-author Glyn Lewis of the University of Bristol in the UK told New Scientist.

"If cannabis does cause psychosis, it could account for at least one in every 10 cases of diagnosed psychotic illness," the researchers say.

"There is a very good reason to be concerned. The evidence of a causal link in this latest study is very convincing but even better evidence may come once scientists understand how cannabis actually changes the brain", said Shaul Hestrin of Stanford University in California, US, who studies how cannabis-like substances affect neurons. "The big question is how to determine who's at risk." added Rawson.

   111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
   1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
   11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
   111111111 x 111111111=12345678987654321



   Now, take a look at this...





   101%



   From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:





   What Equals 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

   Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

   We have all been in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER
   100%.

   How about ACHIEVING 101%?





   What equals 100% in life?





   Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these
   questions:





   If:

   A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z



   Is represented as:

   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.





   If:



   H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K

   8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%



   And:

   K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E

   11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%





   But:

   A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E

   1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%



   THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:



   L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D

   12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%



   Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

   While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
   get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

   It's up to you if you share this with your friends & loved ones just
   the way I did.



   Have a nice day & God bless!!!
