4ft Dwarfs may hold key to curing cancer
Scientists state that a community of Laron dwarfs, living in a remote corner of Ecuador, could hold the key to curing critical illness such as cancer
Laron Dwarfs are perfectly proportioned but only grow to an average height of 4ft, appear to be immune to all forms of the disease and enjoy long lives.
Scientists are now studying a hormone present in other humans but which is not found in the dwarfs and believe their findings could lead to the development of an effective anti-cancer drug.
There are just over 300 people in the world with the condition Laron dwarfism, a third of whom live in remote villages in Ecuador’s southern Loja province. This form of Dwarfism is believed to be caused by inbreeding resulting in a lack of a hormone called Insulin-like Growth Factor 1, or IGF1, which is believed to be the reason for their longevity and apparent immunity to critical illness such as cancer.
Dr Jaime Guevara-Aguirre, a hormone expert from the Ecuadorian Institute of Endocrinology said:
‘We’ve discovered that people with Laron simply don’t get cancer. Cancer can be detected in their relatives of a normal size, but never in my patients – not one single case. Every experiment has demonstrated that high levels of IGF1 are associated with cancer, but these patients have low levels of IGF1 and an absence of the disease.’
It is believed that having less IGF1 could mean suffering less of the DNA damage that occurs in all of us when we age and may eventually lead to cancer.
Professor Bass Hassan, a medical oncologist with Cancer Research UK and a scientist at Oxford University, said the research could have an important outcome as ‘research has shown that mistakes in certain genes can prevent cancer.’
Promotional Business gifts
Online experts think the upcoming companies will try to concentrate on selective audience and will focus their strategies on position markets. An examine paper from Baylor University shows modern trends relative to promotion crop.
Advertisers are only launch to learn the advantages of a thorough marketing strategy composing of both mountain media advertisements and promotional gifts. Besides,there is too much congestion in the mound media which is creating an ever-increasing opportunity for promotional gifts programs and the companies which want to do well in upcoming needs to level roughly on promotion harvest for their marketing programs. Not to say the advertisements in other forms won’t have a place in outlook but advertisements through promotional gifts will have a larger position to play.
Promotional gifts, promotional items or promotional products will also change in unprocessed forms and new yield will enter the sort. With bigger funds, advertisers will be able to use more effective and costly stuff as promotional gifts
Wii FIT
The Wii has not been able to stay on shelves since it has been released over a year and a half ago. So it’s no surprise that Nintendo is spending many hours in marketing it and finding ways to improve it. Its latest venture? The Wii Fit.
The whole idea around this new concept is to turn gaming and exercising into friends. Games have long been maligned for their violence and most recently health issues. The Wii FIT hopes to change the latter.
First of all I should say (and Nintendo also reiterates this point), the Wii FIT is not to replace your doctor or physical instructor’s program. Instead it’s designed to compliment it or be an alternative to just sitting down and playing without any physical workout. While it does not have a straight forward exercise plans (and customization is not allowed) it does provide a fun way to interact with games instead of just sitting in the couch and pressing buttons on a controller.
The basis of the Wii FIT system is a balance board that has seven internal scales that are used for the functions of the system. The board communicates wirelessly with the Wii system and requires 4 AA batteries to operate. Unfortunately the maximum supported weight is only 330lbs so that means those on the chunky side had better use other means to lose those excess pounds before auditioning for a Wii FIT.
What To Expect From The iPod In The Next 5 Years
Ever since the original iPod’s release all those years ago in 2001, internet forums and blogs have constantly been trading rumors of what the next Apple iPod will bring, what new features it will have. While Apple has so far done an excellent job at giving its customers what it wants there are still many flaws to the iPod that prevent it from being the ultimate multimedia device. While Apple has a strict policy on divulging any information regarding upcoming devices, Steve Jobs hinted a while ago at what the future iPod may be.
An inter faceless device without any controls or ports. The recent iPod Touch and iPhone certainly confirm the direction in which the iPod is heading with its multi-way touch screen and very limited number of controls. This would allow to expand the iPod’s screen to a massive 4”. As for the lack of ports it’s easy to envision that the future iPod will rely solely on bluetooth or or wi-fi for song transfers and syncing other files and documents.
While the flagship iPod will remain the iPod Touch in the coming years, several other iPods are rumored to receive major upgrades;
iPod Shuffle - It is almost physically impossible to make an mp3 player smaller than the 2nd generation iPod Shuffle. Let’s not forget that impossible is not a word a man like Steve Jobs likes to hear. In the coming years the iPod Shuffle will be worn directly in ear with a wireless remote to control basic operations such as ‘previous/next’ and volume control.
iPod Nano - The iPod Nano will not undergo any drastic change aside from the addition of a touchscreen like that of the iPod Touch but will retain it’s basic functionalities.
iPod - The iPod Classic as the latest version of the original mode is called will be childbearing from the iPod family in favor of the iPod Touch.
How To Use Your iPod Touch as an iPhone
Virtually indistinguishable at first glance the iPhone and the iPod Touch have but one major difference: the iPhone allows you to make calls. Of course that added bonus comes with a $60 monthly fee and 2 year contract with AT&T. Many of you have probably guessed where this is headed; the iPod Touch’s wi-fi feature to make VoIP calls. nfortunately Apple was one step ahead of the average thinking public and nixed the microphone feature as well. For every great corporate money making scheme there’s an even greater philanthropist mind to bring justice to the masses.
In comes the Touchmod Mic, a simple dongle which attaches to the dock connector port and allows you to plug in a regular 3.5mm headset for use with a regular handsfree headset. Let’s look at the specifics.
Here’s what you’ll need to get started.
iPod Touch - Surely you must already have one otherwise this article is of very little interest to you.
ZiPhone - A free application which allows you to Jailbreak your iPod Touch. You can download ZiPhone for free at http://www.ziphone.org
TouchMod Microphone - The device costs between $48 and $59 depending on which version you order. You have the choice between the dong connector or the headset. The headset connection will allow you to use the call/hangup and volume features. Order at http://home.swipnet.se/ridax/touchmic.htm
LG Vu
The LG Vu is another one of those iPhone lookalikes. But it has one major advantage over the iPhone. It supports Mobile TV (from AT&T since that is its only carrier now) and the TV feature is no joke.
DESIGN:
As I said before the design is iPhoneesque. The phone features only 3 hard keys. Everything else is controlled via a touch sensitive screen that mimics the iPhone in many ways. While the phone does have an iPhone feel those familiar with LG’s Prada, Venus etc will see more design cues from there rather than the iphone.
The phone features a huge 3 inch display (a little less than the iPhone) that supports 262,000 colors and 240x400 pixels. Of course this means that you are getting an amazingly bright screen that pays attention to the finest detail.
Other design features to take note of is the finish. The phone features a high gloss finish. While this makes the device look expensive ($299 after $100 mail in rebate) it also does a god job of attracting fingerprints and smudges (something the iPhone and PSP are also good at). It also features a pull out antenna that is a key feature to the excellent video quality the phone posses (which unfortunately are lacking on the iPhone).
Blackberry Bold
No the blackberry bold is not an iPhone killer. That title goes to the new Thunder model that will be available in the third quarter of 2008. The Blackberry Bold is the latest in the company’s line of super smart phones that have won the hearts of business executives and consumers alike.
BOLD DESIGN!<br/>
The name fits the phone perfectly. The new Bold looks like a cross between the Blackberry Curve and the Motorola Q9c. The device is much more streamlined than previous models from the company and the new interface lends a hand of approval to the new design. The phone still sticks the QWERTY keyboard we have gotten used to and four soft keys along with the Blackberry button.
One of the best features to the external design of the new Blackberry is the leather back. The leather back will also be replaceable with different back plates of assorted colors including gray, blue and red. The phone is pretty lightweight also weighing around 4.7 ounces with dimensions of 4.5x2.6 inches.
Tips And Tricks To Fix A Broken iPod
Before you throw out that old iPod and shell out $300 to buy a new one, you may want to try these simple tips and tricks to see if you can breath some new life into your old musical companion.
The first step in determining whether you can fix your broken iPod is to determine whether to cause of the problem is software based or hardware based.
The most common hardware problem is due to the iPod’s hard drive failing. Over time the hard drive connectors within the case can become loose and cause your iPod to malfunction. The common symptoms are are repeated clicking sounds and a high pitched whirring sound. Unfortunately if your iPod has these common symptoms there is very little you can do by yourself. Fixing a hard drive issue will require special tools and parts and an understanding of how the iPod main board works. Therefore it is better to leave that task up to an Apple licensed technician. The average cost of repairing an iPod hard drive is under $100 including the parts and labor.
Another regular iPod hardware failure is water damage. If an iPod has come into contact with water, whether it was exposed to rain or it was left in a steamy bathroom, it is generally beyond repair. If the incident just occurred the first thing to do is to place it in a warm area on a dry surface such as a cloth or another absorbent material. Leave the iPod for 24 hours without trying to turn it on. If the iPod still does not turn on after this period it is very likely that it is beyond repair. Unfortunately the Apple Care Plan does not cover water damage either.
Convert Videos To iPod For Free
The iPod 5th generation originally released in 2005 brought the added functionality of watching videos. Of course the 2.5” screen with a 320x240 pixel resolution did not make the experience a very thrilling one and often left us squinting at the tiny screen. Nonetheless it was an overwhelming success and Apple capitalized on the idea by releasing the iPod Touch. With it’s massive 3.5” screen and a 320x480 pixels resolution it became the standard in portable multimedia devices.
There was still one problem; how do I get videos on to my iPod? A question that many software companies were glad to answer with their $50-$60 software solution. As always though the freeware scene was just one step behind with the free alternatives. In this guide we will show you how to convert any video for playback on your iPod without having to spend a dime.
The best all-around all-in-one video to iPod converter is Videora iPod Converter. Videora allows you to convert virtually all types of videos: avi, divx, xvid, flv, x264, vob, mpeg, DVD, YouTube for use on the iPod. You can download it for free at http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPhone/
The process is very simple:
1. Download and install the program
2. Load up Videora and click on the settings tab at the top
3. Click on devices and choose iPod or iPhone
4. Click on the convert tab and choose your video
* Select the appropriate settings for your video.
5. Click start converting
* For a DVD the Quality should be set to High, anything else leave it on Medium. Always leave the “Enhance Quality” function Off, it will simply lengthen the process and the difference will not be noticeable. Audio quality should always be set to High to avoid any hissing noise.
