World's cheapest tablet launched at Rs 2250

The HRD ministry distributed its low-cost tablet to 500 college students from all over the country on Wednesday. The device that took six years to develop and was once subject to widespread ridicule comes dirt-cheap at Rs 2,250.


The government would pick up 50% of the cost and a student will be able to buy it for Rs 1,125.


Christened Aakash or the Low-Cost Access Device, the tablet developed by IIT, Rajasthan and other leading institutions, packs all common features found in Android tablets. It comes as a counter to MIT academic Nicholas Negroponte`s One-Laptop-Per-Child (OLPC) project that the Indian government was considering at one point.


Sporting a 7-inch touchscreen, Aakash runs on Android 2.2 operating software. According to specifications, it has a high-definition video co-processor for good multimedia experience.


The device comes with Wi-Fi connectivity and has support for optional 3G modems. Two full-size USB ports are integrated into the unit. Aakash can be used as an ebook reader. A student will be able to access online streaming of course material and web-based research.


A BTech student of IIT, Delhi developed the first cut of the design. His father, Prem Kalra, later became director of IIT, Rajasthan and took the project to the logical conclusion.


N K Sinha, additional secretary, HRD ministry and the man behind the low-cost tablet, said considering the huge demand, the price would come down further. Sinha, the first person who conceived that a low-cost tablet could be produced in India, was once ridiculed for taking the nation for a ride.


Produced by Datawind, 100,000 tablets would be given out to students over the next year. Currently, the company is producing 700 tablets daily at its Hyderabad facility. Datawind has set up a manufacturing facility only for Aakash.

Foods to avoid during pregnancy

These nine months may be the most challenging months of your life. With your body undergoing a number of changes, you need to be extra careful about yourself as well as your surroundings. And watching your diet should on top of your list. Here are a list of things you must avoid to ensure a smooth pregnancy.


Skip aerated or caffeine-based beverages like coffee, tea and colas. Too much caffeine may affect the growth of baby. A recent study said that pregnant women who consume even about a cup of coffee everyday are at a higher risk of giving birth to an underweight baby. Cut down your consumption drastically if you can't go without your daily fix.


Avoid eating foods that have been prepared with maida. Likewise try and cut down on eating foods that are high in sugar content. Although not scientifically proven, including large quantities of nutmeg in your meals can be detrimental.


Seafood that is high in mercury should be strictly avoided. Swordfish, shark and king mackerel are among these. Raw fish may contain listeria, a bacteria that can cause food poisoning. While canned seafood is considered safe, skip smoked or frozen seafood like oysters, sushi, sashimi, and smoked salmon.


Unpasteurised milk may contain listeria, which can cross the placenta and lead to infection or blood poisoning in the baby. Ensure that the milk you drink is pasteurised.


Stay away from mould-ripened cheese (cheese that has a blue vein in it) like brie or camembert. Make sure you cook raw eggs. When the eggs are cooked, see that the yolk and white are firm.

Too much vitamin D bad for your heart

Vitamin D - known to be important for bone health and for heart protection - can also cause harm if it exceeds normal levels, a new research has warned.


Johns Hopkins scientists suggested that vitamin D may stop conferring cardiovascular benefits and could actually cause harm as levels in the blood rise above the low end of what is considered normal.


The findings found that increasing levels of vitamin D in the blood are linked with lower levels of a popular marker for cardiovascular inflammation - c-reactive protein (also known as CRP).


Healthier, lower levels of inflammation were found in people with normal or close to normal vitamin D levels.


Any additional increase in vitamin D was associated with an increase in CRP, a factor linked to stiffening of the blood vessels and an increased risk of cardiovascular problems.


"Clearly vitamin D is important for your heart health, especially if you have low blood levels of vitamin D. It reduces cardiovascular inflammation and atherosclerosis, and may reduce mortality, but it appears that at some point it can be too much of a good thing," he added.

Anybody Home?

He dialed the employee’s home phone number and was greeted with a child’s whispered, “Hello? ”Feeling put out at the inconvenience of having to talk to theyoungster, the boss asked, “Is your Daddy home?”"Yes,” whispered the small voice.”May I talk with him?” the man asked.To the surprise of the boss, the small voice whispered, “No.”Wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, “Is your Mommy there?”Yes,” came the answer.”May I talk with her?”Again the small voice whispered, “No.”Knowing that it was not likely that a young child would be left homealone, the boss decided he would just leave a message with the personwho should be there watching over the child.”Is there anyone there besides you?” the boss asked the child.”Yes,” whispered the child, “a policeman.”Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee’s home, the bossasked, “May I speak with the policeman?”"No, he’s busy,” whispered the child.”Busy doing what?” asked the boss.”Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman,” came the whisperedanswer.Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what sounded like ahelicopter through the ear piece on the phone, the boss asked, “Whatis that noise?”"A hello-copper,” answered the whispering voice.”What is going on there?” asked the boss, now alarmed.In an awed whispering voice, the child answered, “The search teamjust landed the hello-copper.”Alarmed, concerned, and more than just a little frustrated, the bossasked, “What are they searching for?”Still whispering, the young voice replied along with a muffledgiggle, “Me.”

All rules cannot be followed in any company

A lady manager of a big reputed office noticed a new man one day and told him to come into her cabin. 
"What is your name?" was the first thing she asked the new guy. 
"John," the new guy replied. 
She scowled, "Look... I don't know what kind of a namby-pamby place you worked before, but I don't call anyone by their first name. It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority. 
I refer to my employees by their last name only ... Smith, Jones, Baker ...that's all. 
I am to be referred to only as Mrs. Robertson. Now that we got that straight,   what is your last name?" 
The new guy sighed, "Darling............ My name is John Darling." 
"Okay John, the next thing I want to tell you is . . .."       


Not ALL rules can be followed!!!

Where two oceans meet...

But do not mix! INCREDIBLE AND SIMPLY MIND-BLOWING !!

These two bodies of water were merging in the middle of The Gulf of Alaska and there was a foam developing only at their junction. It is a result of the melting glaciers being composed of fresh water and the ocean has a higher percentage of salt causing the two bodies of water to have different densities and therefore makes it more difficult to mix.

Worlds Smallest Petrol Engine…

Scientists have created the smallest petrol engine in the world (less than a centimeter long not even half an inch),small enough to power a watch or any small gadget.The mini-motor which runs for two years on a single squirt of lighter fuel is set to revolutionize technology associated with it. It generates 700 times more energy than a conventional battery. It could be used to operate laptops and mobile phones for months doing away with the need for charging. 


Experts believe it could be phasing out batteries in such items within just six years. The engine, minute enough to be balanced on a fingertip, has been produced by engineers at the University of Birmingham. At present, charging an ordinary battery to deliver one unit of energy involves putting 2,000 units into it. The little engine, because energy is produced locally, is far more effective. 


One of the main problems faced by engineers who have tried to produce micro motors in the past has been the levels of heat produced. The engines got so hot they burned themselves out and could not be re-used. The Birmingham team overcame this by using heat-resistant materials such as ceramic and silicon carbide.

Joke of the day - A great writer

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer. When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!" He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.

Important Information about Contact Lenses

A 21 year old guy had worn a pair of contact lenses during a barbecue party.(An event or meal at which food is cooked outdoors over an open grill or fire). While barbecuing he stared at the fire charcoals continuously for 2-3 minutes.


After a few minutes, he started to scream for help and moved rapidly, jumping up and down. No one in the party knew why he was doing this?


Then he was admitted into the Hospital, the doctor said he'll be blind permanently because of the contact lenses that he had worn.


Contact lenses are made by plastics, and the heat from the charcoal melted his contact lenses.


DO NOT WEAR CONTACT LENSES WHERE OVERHEATING AND FLAMES ARE CONCERNED.... OR
WHILE COOKING...!

How to Set up Reliable Web Hosting From Home

There are many reasons why purchasing professional web hosting is justified. However, individuals in certain situations have the opportunity to host it themselves. People starting businesses or testing new ideas may not want to pay for hosting service.


Reliable web hosting from home saves money for future business growth. Once a business is profitable and website traffic increases, it may become necessary to pay for professional hosting.


A computer with a high speed Internet connection is required to host a website. This computer will act as a server and needs to be kept online at all times.


Web servers
The first step in creating reliable web hosting from home is to install a web server on the computer. This can be done with any operating system but most professional hosts use the Linux platform. Most computer users use Windows which has a web server application built in. This program runs in the background and listens to requests from people on the Internet. It finds the website saved on the computer and sends it to the users requesting it.


Next, computers with a local area network are required to configure their router to enable web access. This can be done in the router’s control panel by forwarding outside web requests to the web server’s port. The default port for web requests is 80.


Domain name
In order for remote computers to connect to the web server, a domain is necessary. This is the name of computer’s server on the Internet. Many sites offer free subdomain and domain name selection cost less than $10 a year.


Most services offer free updating of IP addresses, which is important if the computer’s Internet connection does not have a static IP address. It is crucial to know the computer’s external IP address and have a way to update the domain’s DNS records.


DNS Records
Configuring the DNS record allows remote access to the web server by typing in the domain name chosen for the web site. Internet connections with a static IP address simply have to input the IP address once into the DNS records.


Connections with a dynamic IP address require the use of a service similar to DynDns. This is a utility that updates the DNS record every time the IP address changes. All that is required is the creation of an account, selection of the preferred domain name and choosing a name to use as a sub-domain.


Security
The last step in creating reliable web hosting from home is to secure the computer from malicious software and attacks. Updated antivirus and anti-spyware programs and a firewall are necessary for good web hosting. Create rules in the firewall to allow the port chosen earlier access to the Internet, as well as any other programs commonly used.


Hosting from Home
Home-based web hosting is an increasingly common occurrence for new business owners and hobby or professional webmasters alike. Reliable hosting websites can be found for free if the proper steps are taken and security issues are resolved. Installing the right software, configuring each program, creating a domain name and creating a website are all that’s needed for free web hosting from home.

Celebrating An Event

An aged farmer and his wife were leaning against the edge of their pig-pen when the old woman wistfully recalled that the next week would mark their golden wedding anniversary.


"Let's have a party, Homer," she suggested. "Let's kill a pig."


The farmer scratched his grizzled head. "Gee, Ethel," he finally answered, "I don't see why the pig should take the blame for something that happened fifty years ago."

Homemade Skin Care Treatment

At home skin care treatments are fairly easy, and they save people money. Making homemade facial items helps you know exactly what it is that is going into the product you are putting on their skin. With homemade items there are no preservatives or chemicals that may cause irritation. You can use simple ingredients that may already be found in the kitchen to fight acne and aid in smoother skin. Facials are also a good way to relax, and using a few drops of a favorite essential oil mixed in can make a huge difference in your mood.

1) Whip the egg yolk using a fork until it is broken up. Egg helps smooth the skin, according to "The Body Shop Body Care Manual" (Behan, 2003). Simply imagine mixing it to use for scrambled eggs, without the egg whites. The egg whites are not useful because of their sticky consistency, which can make them drying to the skin.


2) Add the teaspoon of olive oil to the egg yolk and the tablespoon of honey, warmed up, and mix together well. Olive oil is very moisturizing. It is also rich in fatty acids, which, according to "The Beauty Workbook", is healing for the skin.


3) Mix in a drop or two of a chosen essential oil. This step is optional. Add peppermint for revitalization or lavender for relaxation. Do not add more than two drops, as essential oils can cause discomfort to sensitive skin if used in excess, according to "The Beauty Bible".


4) Rub the mixed ingredients onto the face, avoiding the eye area and the lips. Put it on in a circular motion. Let it sit for 15 minutes before rinsing it off with lukewarm water. This facial mask is safe enough for daily use, but can as easily be used once a week for a refresher.

Food Mold Facts

Sometimes, people find moldy food in their kitchen, whether it's bread that didn't get used fast enough or forgotten leftovers sitting in the back of the refrigerator. Moldy food should usually be discarded, but a few types may be salvageable.


Identification
The mold growing on your food is a microscopic fungus with three parts. The roots, which grow down into the food, are nearly impossible to see without a microscope. The stalk rises up over the surface of the food, and the spores form on the end of the stalk. The spores are the part you see. They give mold its color, usually either green or white.


The United States Department of Agriculture estimates there could be as many as 300,000 different species of mold fungi. Alternaria, Botrytis, Neurospora and Penicillium are a few that commonly grow on food.


Growth
Mold thrives in warm, moist environments. It doesn't require both of these conditions to grow, though, as it can form even in the refrigerator. Mold spores float through the air searching for a hospitable place to land and grow. This is why you should check for mold on food that was stored near food which has gone moldy. The spores spread rapidly from one food to another.


Dangers
Some types of mold form mycotoxins, which are poisonous. They grow primarily on nuts and grains. One of the most dangerous is aflatoxin, which can cause cancer and other diseases in humans and animals. It's most commonly found in seed corn and peanuts.


If you find mold on your food, don't sniff it. Breathing in mold spores can cause breathing problems. Wrap the moldy food in plastic and throw it away. Wash the shelf or cupboard where it was stored, and check nearby food for signs of mold.


Misconceptions
Many people believe they can pinch away a moldy spot on bread and the rest of it is still safe to eat. This isn't true. The visible surface mold is only part of the mold on food. The spores have sent roots down into the food which you can't see but which are still potentially harmful. Soft or moist food should be thrown away if it has any visible mold. Some hard foods with a low-moisture content, like cheese, salami or firm vegetables, may be safe to eat if you cut the moldy parts off.


Considerations
Not all mold is bad. Some food, such as certain cheeses, are created using mold. This may be on the surface, as with Brie, or internally, as with Roquefort. The mold used for this process is safe to eat.


Some dry-cured ham develops mold on the outside. This should be wiped off, but the ham is still safe to eat.
