Scientist find HIV cure says Journal

admin — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 15:29:10 +0000

In a major breakthrough, Israeli scientists have developed a method that can wipe out Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected cells without affecting the healthy ones but it will be a while before it is available to the public, a medical journal says.

Although the researchers have registered an Israeli patent, the treatment must still go through trials on animals and humans, the latest edition of the British journal AIDS Research and Therapy says.

Peptides, unique short protein segments developed by the researchers, can interfere with replication and at the same time overwhelm the infected cell, triggering its self destruction.

“It is our view that the results described in this work suggest a novel approach to specifically promote death of HIV-1 infected cells and thus may eventually be developed into a new and general anti-viral therapy,” Xinhua, a Chinese news agency, quoted Israeli researchers as saying in the journal.

“The usual medications kill the virus that has entered the body during infection and the (peptide) treatment allows cells infected with the genetic load of the virus to be killed,” they added.

How to reduce down your vista installation size

admin — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 10:37:31 +0000

This guide is intended for those users who want to remove all those unwanted things that come with Windows Vista installation. This guide is for those who are new to Windows Vista or if you want to cut out the bulk that comes along with Windows Vista. There is a program which may I say very popular that is designed to make this task easier. This program is called vLite.

Using vLite is really easy. All you have to do is copy the setup files which are at Windows Vista installation disc to your hard drive. Now you are ready to select the components you want and then make a bootable ISO file.

I am not going to suggest what you should add or remove because it’s strictly personal choice and everyone have their own choice. But as an example you can remove the gadget from installation file as it’s not that useful in my view and I never use them. If you are still confused about what to remove, you can find many sites that will help you to give beginners’ suggestions and points. Google is you friend in this matter.

It should be noted that vLite is intended for more advanced users but there should be no problem for newbie who want to play around the installation. You can definitely give it a go. Taking about the worst case scenario, you will have a disc of Windows Vista installation that doesn’t include all components that you wanted.

Finally, one suggestion that I want to put forward is to create the vLite ISO on computer other than the one you are putting vista on. This is because of the OS in not functional; you can always give it a go again. And don’t forget to take some BACKUPS.

Services provided by Google

admin — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 15:11:53 +0000

I think most of us love google because they are the number one company on the web and making a fortune. I know that I have used many google services over the years and I really love them. I really don’t know how many services they provide but here is a list of few that I know off and use. I hope you have used few of them as well.

Google Search (Google.com): This is nothing new. When we want to search something the first site that comes to our mind is Google. You know what this is and I really don’t want to waste more time on this one.
Google Maps (maps.google.com): A Google map is for local businesses and to view maps. You should definitely use Google maps to get driving directions.
Google Videos (video.google.com): This is the place where you can search and watch millions of videos and also participate in discussion.
Google Toolbar (toolbar.google.com): Google toolbar is available for Firefox, google chrome and internet Explorer only. Google toolbar has a load of features like translation and page rank checker only to name a few.
Google Labs (googlelabs.com): Google labs is one of the places where you can play around with prototypes of Google’s wild and crazy ideas and you also get a chance to provide feedback to Google engineers who are involved in the development.
Google Translator (translate.google.com): This is the web application that is used to translate between languages. You can find more than 20 languages to translate.
Google News (news.google.com): Google news is a place where you can get aggregated headlines of the world’s news sources.
Google Earth (earth.google.com): This is undoubtedly the best thing that Google has come up with. With the help of Google Earth you can see the whole world via an application. All images used in Google Earth are taken from satellite and they are so clear that you can even see person walking on the street. This is the must have application for all.
Google Local sites: Google also offers country specific search Engine which helps in searching sites from specific country only. Example Google UK (google.co.uk), Google Spain (google.es), Google New Zealand (google.co.nz), Google India (google.co.in) etc.

10. Google Desktop (desktop.google.com): The sidebar in Google Desktop includes a news widget that learns from the articles you read and a feed reader widget.

As I have said this is only a few that I can remember right now. There are so many others that is worth mentioning. Go ahead and check out Google more carefully and I am sure you will find something that will truly impress you.

The A Team that means action, but critics disagree

admin — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 15:33:22 +0000

While my guru Roger Ebert calls The A-Team an incomprehensible mess with the 1980s TV show embedded inside, and then uses examples, “I found my attention wandering to the subject of physics. The A-Team has an action scene that admirably demonstrates Newton’s Third Law, which instructs us that for every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction.

The movie illustrates this as the heroes fall from an exploding airplane while inside an armoured tank. As the tank hurtles to the ground (cf. Newton’s Law of Gravity), the team leader, Hannibal Smith (Liam Neeson), looks out an opening and barks out commands for the tank’s gun. I am paraphrasing: ‘Turn 45 degrees to the left! Fire! Twenty-five degrees to the right! Fire!’ In this way, he is able to direct the fall of the tank and save their lives. This is very funny.”

But Brian Salisbury says, “Instead of assaulting us with non-stop action and then having the audacity to mask itself as being high art, The A-Team embraces just how ludicrous the action sequences are and makes absolutely no apologies for it. That’s not to say, though, the movie has nothing to offer beyond the explosions and mid-air collisions. In fact, what makes The A-Team such a damn good film is the clever underscore that complements every moment of mesmerising destruction. Joe Carnahan, along with the other writers, gives us moments that subtly poke fun at the outlandishness of what we are seeing.

Carnahan recognised that, given the tone of both the series and his last film (Smokin’ Aces), the action scenes needed to flow uninterrupted, and here it’s very streamlined, only pausing briefly to give us hilarious interactions between the larger-than-life characters before diving head-first back into the explosive fray. Until the very end of the film, each plan is carried out before our eyes as it is being hashed out to neutralise any lacking in the pace. It would be easy to then accuse The A-Team of being front-loaded, given the slow build to the final sequence, but I would argue that is merely a nod to the evolution of Face’s character as a leader and that it never really loses steam.

What really sells this film, however, is its cast. Like the original quartet of chaos, each actor brings something fantastic to the table. Bradley Cooper, as Face, has that inescapably charming swagger and confidence we have come to expect from him; Neeson, unsurprisingly, is the perfect blend of in-the-trenches badass and cool-as-ice leader. Even Rampage Jackson, in the role made famous by a guy donning the entire payload of Ft Knox around his neck (that’d be Mr T), turns in a respectably tough performance with a few moments of decent hubris. But it’s Sharlto Copley who really steals the show as Howlin’ Mad Murdock. True to his character’s moniker, Copley cranks up the lunacy and plays Murdock with a hilariously reckless abandon that mirrors the tone of the entire film.”

My own opinion and, I am allowed one, is that The A-Team was written by one of my favourite thriller authors, Stephen Cannell whom I dote on who despite dyslexia not only has written hit after hit TV shows but hit after hit books. You are advised not to smoke Hannibal Smith’s cigars or go over the top like Copley or wear a Mohawk like Jackson otherwise have a ball even if you don’t understand what’s going on which I didn’t, sticking to the basic principle of, it moves fast, it’s in colour and lots of thing go boom.

What you should know about hair loss

admin — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 17:14:35 +0000

Many of us go through hair loss at some point of time and it bothers us more than we can think. It is fair enough you would not want to have bald patches showing. In general, one cannot help prevent hair loss. But one can try after showing the first signs of restricting hair loss with the help of therapies or other treatments.

Avoid deficiencies: Some hair loss is due to deficiencies that can be avoided with a healthy and balanced diet, you attain the right hair. So, vegetarians can take for example nutritional supplements to prevent deficiency due to lack of animal products like meat, cheese or eggs.

Hair Massage: Hair massaging is considered one of the main aspects behind having healthy hair. Always remember that what you sow is what you reap. A good massage will not only provide enough blood circulation to the hair follicles but also put you at ease. If not too many times, it is advisable to have a good hair massage once a week. There are many herbs also available in the market known to promote hair growth. These herbs could be massaged into the hair in order to improve hair growth. You could also make a mixture of your regular shampoo with these herb extracts to prevent hair loss. Today with such a fast pacing world, it might be tough to stop by and take good care of your hair, but as much as our skin is important to us so is our hair. It is very important to give it the required nutrients.

Myths and Facts about hair loss: Even the view that one can cut regular hair to prevent hair loss is wrong! The thickness and length of the hairs have no effect on the formation of hair loss since this arises in the root of the hair in the scalp.

Dyeing and perking does not lead to hair loss because these types of chemicals treatment tend to change the hair just above the scalp.
It is recommended however that some to do by a barber as incorrect handling of these products could well come to damage the hair roots.
Scalp massages, which are designed to promote blood circulation do not help fight against hair loss, this is because the scalp has a naturally strong blood flow thus such a massage is nothing more than relaxing.

Wife finds husbands 2nd wedding on facebook

admin — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 04:32:43 +0000

This is one interesting story that I found and was so keen to share with you all. Wife finds husband’s second weeding on facebook.

Dread of the unknown hung in the air as Lynn France typed two words into the search box on Facebook: the name of the women with whom she believed her husband was having an affair. Click and there it was the stuffs on nightmares for any spouse, cuckolded or not. Wedding photos.

At Walt Disney World, no less, featuring her husband literally dressed as Prince Charming. His new wife, a pretty blonde, was a glowing Sleeping beauty, surrounded by footman. “I was numb with shock, to tell you the truth,” says France, an occupational therapist for Westlake, a Cleveland suburb. “There was like an album of 200 photos on there. Their whole wedding.” The husband claimed that his marriage to Lynn France was never valid. He said she knew earlier about the other marriage and was making the Facebook claim as a publicity ploy.

Affairs were once shadowy matters, illicit encounters whispered about and often difficult to prove. But in the age of Facebook and Twitter and lightning fast communication, the notion of privacy is fast becoming obsolete.

From flirtatious text messages to incriminating e-mails, marital indiscretions are much easier to track especially if potentially damaging photographic evidence is posted online.
