Ear Damage - Cell Phone Culture

ImageShack

To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug

Use of cell phones for long durations seems to affect the hearing efficiency and ability to discriminate certain sounds. This is said to be the effect of high frequency audio waves. The ear is getting bombarded constantly and that would make the ears lose their natural abilities. We know that sound is a cause for certain mental problems and the environmental effect of sound is well known.

There is no need for sci-fi to create new and strange animals-in some fifty years every American would look like one such creature, if things go on this way. He may have a robot to guide him and drive him about.  Nature never forgives.  Emerson had seen only the calculators, when he commented:

Elite retreats of the well-off and well-known


Where the world's influential celebrities go for some rest and relaxation




Whether it's adopting babies in Africa or visiting the troops in Iraq, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt know a thing or two about travel. Sometimes, though, a family of six just wants to have fun. This winter, the Jolie-Pitt clan took their private 14-seat plane to Mammoth Mountain in California's Eastern Sierra Nevada range.

By Forbes Traveler staff

If you're one of the most influential celebrities in the world, you have more than a few options when it comes to traveling. Like the rest of us, some A-listers have a tried-and-true vacation spot, while others prefer to explore new parts of the world every chance they get. The upside to having a mansion at your disposal in Maui — like Oprah — is that the entire place has been outfitted to accommodate your personal needs. Every time you visit, it takes less time to settle in and relax.

Skyscraper of steel toy parts sparkles in New York


NEW YORK (Reuters) - A million pieces of stainless steel toy parts assembled into a nearly seven-story model skyscraper glimmered under the hot sun in New York on Tuesday, in American artist Chris Burden's latest project.


The 16,000-pound (7,250-kg) "poetic interpretation" of the 30 Rock Building at Rockefeller Center was made of replicated Erector set pieces from the toy created by A.C. Gilbert in 1912, Burden said.


"He was inspired by the buildings to build this toy system and I used this toy system to build a building," Burden said.

Give us this day our daily bread

God is great, God is good. Let us thank him for our food. By his hand, we are fed, Give us, Lord, our daily bread. Amen


-Gayle1223


Gluttony is one of the Seven Sins.

Food is a necessity and it should get ingested into the body through eating it. Though this is a normal activity, it is being discussed at length at all times. There is a saying that it is through the stomach one gets into another's heart. Every community has its own specials from prayers to food. One's eating habit is also cause and relief to one's stress.

Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking, if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity. - Voltaire

Olympic Hopeful Is Facing Some Tough Choices




The Stanford swimmer Ben Wildman-Tobriner won the 50-meter freestyle at the world championships last year in Australia.


Published: June 8, 2008


PALO ALTO, Calif. — At last year's world championships in Australia, nobody was faster than Ben Wildman-Tobriner, who won the 50-meter freestyle. So why is it that he spends his days at the pool feeling as if he is not moving at all?


Blame life's crazy crosscurrents. Aspiring to be a doctor and an Olympian, Wildman-Tobriner is being pulled by two powerful desires: medical school and a medal.


His challenge this month is to avoid being dragged under by deadlines. June is when he is supposed to decide whether to enroll in classes this fall. It is also when the cut-down process starts for selecting the United Career fair - Jobs galoreStates swim team that will compete in the Beijing Games.

Cellphone Tracking Study Shows We're Creatures of Habit



New research that makes creative use of sensitive location-tracking data from 100,000 cellphones in Europe suggests that most people can be found in one of just a few locations at any time, and that they do not generally go far from home.


"Individuals display significant regularity, because they return to a few highly frequented locations, such as home or work," the researchers found.


That might seem like science and mountains of data being marshaled to prove the obvious. But the researchers say their work, which also shows that people exhibit similar patterns whether they travel long distances or short ones, could open new frontiers in fields like disease tracking and urban planning.

Excerpts from CNBC-TV18's exclusive interview with NR Narayanamurthy:

Q: One of the reasons that compelled you to start Infosys in 1981 was that you wanted to experiment with your version of the enterprise, entrepreneurship, capitalism and it was your rejection of Leftism, socialism and economic system. Take us through why that intellectual premise occurred.

Secondly, it is not the responsibility of the government to create an environment where there is incentive for more and more people to become entrepreneurs.
