Technology has developed so much that a Doctor from Congo gets the help of a Doctor from London to save the life of a 16 year old boy. The boy was caught between the crossfire and lost his left arm. It was three weeks before he reached a hospital and by that time gangrene had formed on the left over arm muscle. The only way to keep the boy alive was to amputate the infected areas, the procedure is called a forequarter amputation, which is very dangerous and so extreme that even in the UK it had been carried out by a handful of surgeons.
Dr. David Nott, had been volunteering a month each year, at the Democratic Republic of Congo, for decades. As the mobile reception was too unreliable for a conversation, but windows opened up at random times, making texting possible, he sent a message to Professor Meirion Thomas, a colleague and a consultant surgeon in London about the boy who will die without the forequarter amputation. He asked for the details of the procedure to be sent by text message, three hours later his phone beeped as a reply came back. The message carried the details of the procedure, he followed the details and the surgery was a success. The text message saved the life of the young boy.

Power dressing is the biggest development in fabric since synthetics. Researchers had worked hard on light- emitting fabrics that illuminate our wardrobes, bedrooms and living rooms. The team started by searching for ways to make our living spaces less dependent on traditional lighting and more attuned to our fluctuating moods- something they call “ambience intelligence.” Then they realized that even before we surround ourselves with electrical and electronic gadgets, we are enveloped by clothes, household linen and furnishings.
Their first step was to incorporate small multicoloured LEDs (light emitting diodes-a diode being a type of semiconductor) into cloth, and do that without compromising the fabric’s flexibility. The creations called photonic textiles, start with shiny fabrics to defuse light, boosting the effect of the LEDs without overcrowding the cloth. Prototypes included a brightly lit reading pillow, a sofa cushion that changes colour, and backpacks that flash pre-programmed messages or play music videos when connected to an MP3 player. The illuminated fabric idea is particularly suited to fashion and it can also be used to ensure the safety of road workers and bikers. Clothing that incorporates its own power source could be useful in helping patients maintain optimum body temperature, improve blood circulation, even monitor the wearer’s heart rate before transmitting details to their doctor wirelessly or downloading them to a computer. But laundering is the big issue with these fabrics.

The winter is very cold and keeping ourselves warm has become a task. Keeping warm has gone high-tech, here are some ideas how to layer your clothing.
Layer one: Wear a thin, moisture-wicking- shirt. Fabrics such as polypropylene, Thermax and Capilene pull sweat from the body, drawing it to the clothing’s surface, where it evaporates, keeping you warm and dry.
Layers two and three: Next, a moisture- wicking sweat- shirt, and top it off with a jacket that is waterproof, windproof and breathable and can push moisture to the surface.
Wear mittens over your gloves, mittens allow heat to escape around fingers and provide a warm pocket of air.
Don’t forget to wear a hat as more than 50% of heat loss is from the head. Look for wool hats that are lined with polypropylene.

Panasonic Corp has said on Thursday, in Tokyo, that it would take the majority control of Sanyo Electronic Co in a $4.6 billion deal, forging one of the biggest electronics makers in the world with an edge in green technologies. Panasonic is to buy 50.2% of Sanyo for 403.78 billion yen. The five week tender has come to a close after it began on November 5.
Panasonic is the biggest plasma TV maker and they are paying 131 yen per Sanyo share. With the purchase, Panasonic will be able to get the Sanyo’s expertise in solar panels and rechargeable batteries, bolstering its resources in the race to develop environmental technologies. The three main share-holders of Sanyo, Goldman Sachs, Daiwa Securities SMBC and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp, helped Panasonic in obtaining the shares. They have together sold at least a combined 3.07 billion shares to Panasonic at that percentage price. The three share holders together control about 70% of Sanyo’s total outstanding shares.
Panasonic had reportedly hoped to take a larger stake in Sanyo, but the company had to settle with a minimum controlling stake. Other share-holders were likely reluctant to sell with the tender offer price lower than the market price.

A technology which is still at research level is being developed which could lead to the development of disks that could store information that will normally be stored using 300 DVDs. This could mean that a standard DVD sized disk can store a whopping 1.6 terabyte of information.
The technique is five dimensional optical recording which employs nanometre scale particles of gold as the recording medium. The research is being developed in Swinburne University of Technology, Australia. The researchers there have exploited a particular property of gold in nanometric levels known as ‘nano-rods’ by manipulating the light pointed at them. Normally in a DVD or a CD there are only two spatial dimensions, but the researchers were able to add a third dimension. The information was recorded using the nano particles by the scientist using different wave length, and this proved to be a major improvement from the traditional DVD or a CD, which are recorded using a single colour or a wave length. Due to this property of the third spatial layer the scientist were able to record different layers of information at different angles. As a result of the above process they have achieved unprecedented data density.
Already every major company have started to contact the University which will lead them to monopolize the market. But whatever happens I can’t hold the excitement for these disks to get into the commercial market because just imagine the best cd rates. Just think of the all the space we can save using these disks.

If you suddenly run into good fortune and have spare cash, consider prepaying at least a part of your bad credit auto loans, at one go or annually. This way, your principal will come down and your years of indebtedness will get reduced. Best of all, it will considerably cut down the total interest amount you will pay. Many lenders, especially the bigger ones, do not charge any penalty for up to a certain portion prepaid every year.
You will find that different banks offer slightly different rates of interest. So you could take a fresh loan from the one offering a lower interest rate and repay your old loan. But refinancing is costlier than switching, since it will mean paying closing penalties on the first loan. But it may still be wise, if the new interest rate is substantially lower. You will have to calculate carefully and see if your loan’s tenure could also be shortened.

Builders, too, run their business after taking loans. With the sudden economic downturn, even the bigger builders have massive debts they find hard to repay. So avoid buying unfinished house or flat, even if it is offered cheap. You could lose your money, if it gets delayed or never gets finished.
Never borrow more than you can comfortably pay back. If you take the loan while you are still young and your earnings increase substantially as the years go by, you won’t feel the pinch of the EMIs after a while.

The internet has so many applications. One of the main priorities which the internet has these days is socializing. People love to socialize online through the several social networking sites and the chat websites. Online chatting has become very popular these days and there are many websites that provide online chatting. It allows us to join various chat rooms and talk to hundreds of people at a time. We can also have a private 1 on 1 chat with people. Many people have already joined the community and I would advice others to join the fun as well. There are so many online facilities available for the users. The registration process is also extremely simple and will not take much time. This site is definitely recommended for new users who are using the internet and online chat for the first time. The chat with emo is very user friendly program and anyone can get a hang on it easily.

With a variety of digital camcorder formats on the market, and prices from several hundred to several thousand dollars, finding a model this holiday season that delivers the most value for the lowest price can be tricky.
How do they work?
When light enters the lens of any digital camcorder, it strikes a small light-sensitive device that converts it into an electronic signal and stores it on a digital tape, a memory card or disc. Video captured on a tape can be downloaded to your computer and edited by most popular software packages. Discs can be popped directly into most DVD players and computers with compatible DVD drives.
Transferring miniDV tapes onto your computer is done in “real time.” This can take quite a while to complete. A 76-mm DVD has to be run through a finalization process in the camera before viewing. Disc files copied to your computer can be edited- but generally just with the basic software that came with the camcorder.
If you want to watch what you shoot without editing, a DVD camcorder may be the better choice. If you intend to shoot and edit, a miniDV is better and probably less expensive.

The importance of communication can never be over-emphasised. Communication is the lifeblood of all organizations. The success of a business enterprise is directly proportional to the level of communication maintained by it. In the new context of globalization and free trade, organizations have to communicate cutting across national and cultural boundaries. Unless effective skills of communication are used, an organization would run the risk of getting insulated and fossilized. Business Advertising is the best method of transmission of information of your products to the people or organization concerned.
Today, multi-nationals organize communication courses for their employees irrespective of their positions. Effective communication enhances the potential of the employees and acts as a motivating force for greater efficiency and productivity. Within an organization, effective inter-personal relationships are possible only if communication skills are cultivated. Good communication skills place an organization at the correct slot in the society. The image of an organization depends on its ability to communicate with the society around it. Good communication promotes better understanding between the employer and the employee. In this competitive environment, organizations vie with each other to acquire an employee- friendly image. Thus, communication skills help in establishing, running, producing and marketing of products by commercial establishments.

Connecting cables are usually clumsy and ugly, but they are rapidly becoming a thing of the past. Cables trail all over the floor like tangled spaghetti, running the stark clean lines of the rooms, which you spent hours poring over interior design magazines to decorate. Sometimes they go missing, rendering the gadget useless. For the electronics consumer, wires and cords were a necessary evil.
As technology has improved and gets more affordable, wireless signals are transforming our homes, sending data through air. Our first taste with wireless local area networks came from the cafes, who installed them to get us to slurp and surf. Now, most internet providers offer packages to easily set up our own wireless LANs, using routers, at home, enabling more than one user to go online, anywhere in the house.
With mobile phones now doubling as everything from cameras to music players, a wireless technology known as Bluetooth is in a lot of people’s pockets too. this wireless protocol allows us to send data, contacts or photos, from mobile phones to and from a computer. Most new computers have Bluetooth, if you have an old model that does not have a Bluetooth find the device that can be connected to the USB port to provide one.
