SINCE AGE 9 YEARS AFFECTED CHILDREN CAN HAVE HEART DISEASE

Who says adult disease heart disease ..??. Team physicians in Sweden found that children can be affected by heart disease since age 9. Children who are at risk of heart disease is not just a body fat because of obesity but also a thin-bodied. Although not overweight, children who daily work just to watch TV and rarely physical activity can be heart disease since the age of 9 years.
 
The risk of children affected by heart disease is due to lack of physical activity in children. Consequently the maximum oxygen consumption by the body are not met. Subsequent effect if a little oxygen consumption can affect various organ functions. Children who are diligent physical activity on average consume oxygen as much as 41.7 mL / min / kg body weight. While children rarely move only able to consume 35.7 41.7 mL / min / kg body weight. These differences affect the overall function of organs including the heart rhythm.
 
Recent research was conducted in Skane University Hospital, Sweden. The study, led by Dr. Tina Tahna and published in the journal Acta Paediatrica enrolled 123 boys and 100 groups possess child aged between 9 and 10 years. In addition to measured body mass index, children's physical activity is also observed by installing a variety of equipment including Electronic Cardiograph (ECG) to record heart rhythms. In addition, researchers also attach an accelerometer to measure physical activity of participants.
 
Results for 4 consecutive days to find the influence of a lack of exercise on heart disease risk remains high even though the children are not overweight. In addition to visits from the oxygen consumption, blood test results also showed that lack of exercise cause unhealthy blood composition.
 
"This study demonstrates the clinical relationship between lack of physical activity with risk factors for heart disease are increased by 11 percent," said Dr. Tahna as quoted by the ScienceDaily, Friday (13/05/2011). The study also revealed that the addition of activity for 20 minutes every day has given a significant influence in reduces the risk of heart disease.

THE INFLUENCE OF HEAD BABY

Parents often hear that certain sleeping position can make a baby's head becomes normal.Beberapa things are known to affect the baby's head shape. Most newborns have an oval head shape or uneven, especially if delivered vaginally because it must pass through the birth canal. In other cases, sometimes changes in head shape due to spending too much time in one position.
 
In the baby's head will look no soft area on the top of the skull where bone has not grown together. This area is called fontanels (crown) that helps the baby through the birth canal narrow. Fontanels naturally it will harden when aged 6-20 months.
 
The size of the baby's head will continue to grow along with increasing brain volume. But because the baby's skull bones are still malleable, then spent too much time in the same position could lead to changes in the form of a baby's head, as quoted from Mayoclinic, Wednesday (18/05/2011).
 
Before it hardens fontanels area, then the baby's head shape can still change, one way is to change the baby's position as when he was asleep. Baby's head shape is the most common molding that looks somewhat oval when viewed from above, but when viewed from the back is more flat on one side and the ear on the flat side may look like going forward.

MEN DO NOT EXCEED WAISTLINE 101.6 CM

Many ways can be done to determine the risk of an illness. But for both men know the waist size can be the key to whether he is at high risk of disease or not. Waist size of a man who reached 101.6 cm or more is included in the danger zone.  

American Dietetic Association (ADA) says that men can get significant health benefits by observing the size of his waistline and reduce the existing excess fat. Experts reveal to men, has an average waist size of 40 inches (101.6 cm) indicates that it is putting itself into the 'zone of risk' or disease-risk zone.  

"Men need to know the size of his waistline, he knows just as important as blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and weight," said Jim White as a nutritionist from the ADA, as quoted from HealthDay, Tuesday (21/06/2011).  

The size of a large waist circumference indicate the presence of excess belly fat. Fat that accumulates in the body can increase the risk of male against several diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and some cancers.  

Fat around the stomach area is known as visceral fat. These fats can lead to insulin resistance, unhealthy cholesterol and may also increase inflammation.  

To measure the waist size correctly, White gave some tips are:

1.   Try standing up while relaxing the abdominal muscles
2.   Place the measuring tape or meter stick directly on the skin the waist
3.   Place the measuring tape just above the navel until it surrounds the abdominal
4.   Do not pull the tape measure too tight or too loose
5.   Look at the numbers

If you find that the results obtained are close to or even exceeding 101.6 cm, then start to reduce it by eating better, reducing stress, physical activity and getting enough sleep each day.

TURN OUT HOT WATER FASTER FREEZE

Does hot water can freeze faster than cold water? wow, at first glance like a stupid question question alone. This is precisely studied by scientists. Let us analyze a little. Water will freeze in a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius.

But do not forget that water could kill bacteria E. coli in a temperature of 50 degrees Celsius in a longer time than cold water on the coast of New England with a temperature of 15 degrees centigrade which is in the process of becoming ice. From the fact that we can assume that hot water can freeze faster than cold water, under certain conditions.

This natural oddity called Mpemba effect, named for high school students in Tanzania, Erasto Mpemba who first observed that state in 1953. Mpemba effect occurs when two parts of water with different temperatures are exposed in the Subzero, and hotter airyang freeze first. Mpemba observation has been matched by a number of ideas first, like Aristotle, Rene Descartes and Francis Bacon, who also thought that hot water can freeze sooner than cold water.

Evaporation is the most plausible explanation for this situation. When hot water is placed in open containers began to cool, the overall mass reduction occurred simultaneously with the evaporation of water. The less amount of water that freezes, then the amount of time needed is also vanishingly small. But this is also not always successful, especially when done in a closed container that prevents evaporation.

It may be that evaporation is not the only reason why the hot water can freeze faster. The existence of nonuniform temperature distribution in the water could also explain the occurrence of Mpemba effect. Hot water rises to the top container before it goes shu, replace the existing cold water underneath. Movement of hot water rises and cold water down is called a convection current.

Well, if you want to make ice cubes in the freezer refrigerator, it's better to use hot water only for quick frozen, and fast drinking ice ...

PALM OIL IS NOT FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT

In Indonesia, many people argue that the attempt in the oil palm is a way of making a living are very profitable and also environmentally friendly. Besides, other than can be consumed, palm oil can also be used as fuel

But the Dutch environmental organization Environmental Defense Milieudefensie or judge, the use of palm oil as fuel, more environmentally damaging than conventional fuels such as diesel. Environmentalists Netherlands in partnership with Indonesian Forum for Environment (WALHI) is concerned about the fate of native forests in Indonesia are a lot cleared by various companies.

For example Ritsema said Malaysian palm oil company which he considered a major cause of environmental pollution in Indonesia. "We have been researching how they operate. They are, among others, guilty of illegal deforestation. We managed to disassemble the case and has prepared a report about it. Then we talk with these companies, but to no avail."
Therefore Milieudefensie complained in a joint organization of palm oil industry. "This way we do insistence," said Ritsema. Ritsema added, generally in Indonesia, deforestation occurs extraordinary. Therefore, Indonesia is one of the countries that most spewing CO2 emissions. China's number one, followed by America and then Indonesia.

"It's weird, because Indonesia is not the most advanced industrial countries. But that CO2 emissions caused by forest cleared lot," said Ritsema. Because the trees are logged, then diminished trees suck up CO2, obviously Ritsema. However, now in Indonesia, many tree planting projects, such as what is done by various NGOs in Java. According to Ritsema, the projects would not be able to compete against the onslaught of deforestation earlier. "The benefit is less if trees are planted but still cleared forest. This is a setback"
However Ritsema see these projects have benefited. "I think that tree-planting project is also its positive impact. But it still will not be metralisir impact of jungle deforestation. Tree-planting project was not going to be able to recover the jungle." KF-Newspapers Residents / ar / Radio Netherlands.

5 FACTS ABOUT HIV / AIDS NEED TO KNOW

HIV / AIDS cases in Indonesia, the more alarming. In Indonesia, the cumulative cases of HIV and AIDS from January 1987 until March 31, 2009 only, consisted of 6668 HIV cases, 16,964 AIDS cases. The proportion of cumulative AIDS cases by age groups, among others under the age of one year reached 135, ages one to four years to reach 175, ages five to fourteen years to reach 88. Aged fifteen to nineteen years to reach 522, age twenty to twenty-nine years to reach 8567 cases. While the age of 30 to 39 years to reach 4997, aged 40 to 49 years to reach 1427, aged 50 to 59 years to reach 404, age above 60 years to reach 91, and unknown patient reaches the age of 558 cases.

From this data, patient age and earning quite a lot of teenagers. This is alarming. Most teens consider HIV as a disease that is not dangerous. Worse yet, a lot of understanding of HIV / AIDS. Let's look at 5 facts about HIV / AIDS that must be known to teenagers:

1. HIV indiscriminate

Since the HIV epidemic began 20 years ago, the stereotypes that circulate in society about persons with HIV are gay men, drug users and commercial sex workers who get that label. In fact, everyone can get HIV, from old age, young, rich, poor, women, men, and children - children and from various professions. 

2. Oral sex is not as safe as thought

Oral sex is often considered a way of "safe" sexual intercourse. In fact, based on research, the infected body fluids such as semen and vaginal secretions containing high concentrations of the HIV virus can enter the bloodstream through the mucous membranes of the mouth.

3. Do not just worry about pregnancy 

Many teens believe, one - the only risk of unprotected sex is pregnancy. Therefore, taking birth control pills, oral sex and ejaculation outside to prevent pregnancy. In fact, many things to worry about than pregnancy, namely the existence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as syphilis, herpes, including HIV that could threaten life. 

4. Sometimes people are not telling the truth and we do not know the truth

Think for a moment the above sentence. How many people who admit that they suffer from HIV when asked by his new partner? How many people who acknowledge their sexual lives when they know someone new? How many people are really - really know their HIV status and health status of people - people with them before?
A statement "My partner does not have HIV" can only be accepted if accompanied by tangible evidence of a negative HIV test. Ask clearly their HIV status and ask them to do the tests as evidence, nor from ourselves.

5. There is no cure for the killer 

Although people with HIV / AIDS (PLWHA) to live longer thanks to antiretroviral drugs, these drugs do not cure. If any of these drugs protect against opportunistic infections is not a "shortcut" from HIV infection. These drugs even cause side effects such as diarrhea, excessive fatigue, redness, nausea and vomiting. So, you should consider before you go too far and ruin your future, because HIV is a "silent killer", the silent killer that obviously will make you regret in the future because of it.

Charge your Cell Phone – With Sound

It happened again, I was 50 miles from home with a million things that needed to be done, when I got a flat tire, and my cell phone was dead. I didn’t have a charger, I was in the middle of nowhere, and I had to get to a dentist appointment AND I pick my daughter up at school. Why is it the phone never goes dead while I’m texting nonsense to my best friend in Minnesota?
Someday, days like today could be a distant memory, as electrical engineers in South Korea are currently working on a system that can convert everyday sound into energy, so imagine if you will, a world where cell phones can recharge themselves as people speak into them. The technology would also be able to harness background noise and music, to charge phones while they’re not being used.
The actual process being used in order to convert sound into energy seems simple enough. According to a recent article in the Telegraph, ”The technology uses tiny strands of zinc oxide sandwiched between two electrodes. A sound absorbing pad on top vibrates when sound waves hit it, causing the tiny zinc oxide wires to compress and release. This movement generates an electrical current that can then be used to charge a battery.”
A prototype of this technology was able to convert sound of around 100 decibels – which is the equivalent of noisy traffic – to generate 50 millivolts of electricity. “This is not enough to charge a phone properly, but Dr Kim and his colleagues hope that by altering the material the wires are made from, they will be able to produce more energy at lower sounds levels.
Now if the music on my iPod could just run the vacuum cleaner and the vacuum noise could keep the iPod charged… that would be living!

These images are in turn stored and are now ready to be printed; the charged roller or corona wire, a photosensitive drum, negatively charged toner, a fuser assembly, and lastly, the laser assembly.
Quality
Laser printers have higher resolution which means they have better print quality. Look closely at a page printed on an inkjet and you’ll notice that the edges of each font have smoother edges. Laser printers are more expensive. Their toner is costly. However, the good thing about toners is that they do not need to be changed often.
In fact if you’re using a laser printer at home you may not need to change toner for a long, long time. Because of their printing speed and quality, laser printers are perfect for office use.

Inkjet printers:
Inkjet printers print pages by sputtering droplets of ink. Their resolution is is fairly low, or at least lower than a laser printers.
Parts
An inkjet printer has the following parts: the print head which contains the nozzles that spit out droplets of ink; ink cartridges, print head which moves the print head and ink cartridges back and forth across the paper; the belt which is used to attach the print head and the ink cartridge to the stepper motor; stabilizer bar to ensure precise and controlled movement, the paper feed assembly and interface ports.
Quality
Inkjet printers are the printer of choice for color printing. The newer models have superior color clarity and brightness. Inkjets are still the printer of choice for printing pictures. Inkjets are also cheaper than lasers. However, their ink cartridge is fairly expensive. But if you only need a printer for limited home use, the inkjet is your best option.

How to Extend the Life of Your Printer

 

 

A high-performance laser printer nowadays can be $600. But before you can say "highway robbery", printers are actually worth their costs considering their lifespan. That is of course, if you’re taking good-care of your device. Whatever type of printer you are using, here are a few tips to make you them live longer.


Shut Your Printer Down Properly
When you’re not using your printer, turn it off. It prevents ink from drying and helps in keeping your printer functioning at its best. Do not just pull the plug; use the printer’s power button. Once you have already turned it off, unplug your printer if necessary. Avoid turning it off when in the middle of something.

Do not use cheap ink cartridges or toners
We usually think that compatible means the same as the original thing. Compatible parts may perform like originals, but they do not do so for a long time. This is you should never use compatible or refilled ink and toner cartridges. The worse thing is it may affect your printer’s performance.
See, it has it has something to do with how manufacturers make their cartridges. First, they buy empty cartridges from end users. Then, they strip these cartridges, clean them and finally reassemble them. In this scenario, you should be most concerned about the toner. The toner drum can only last for a set period of time. No amount of cleaning can change that.

Do not force jammed paper out
In case of a paper jam, do not force the paper out. Forcing paper out can damage the printer. Plus, the paper can tear can leave bit of paper stuck inside. These can cause problems later on. There is a better way to get paper out easily. Printers usually have a hatch at the back that can easily be removed. There, you can access the paper wheels and see the jammed paper. Then, you can get the paper out smoothly, without having to pull and tear.

Cartridge Lifespan
It all depends on frequency and quantity. Frequent and heavy users might need to replace cartridges every few months. Light users may need to replace cartridges only about 2-3 times a year (ink dries out if not used for more than a year). For more complete answers, talk to the manufacturers. For instance, they can tell you that certain printers can print 350 pages at 5% percent coverage or 5% surface area inked on each page.
Toner cartridges vary in lifespan. The less expensive ones go for $100. These printers can print 2,500 to 5,000 pages. The more expensive printers can print tens of thousands of pages. The most expensive types can even yield hundreds of thousands of pages.

Lastly
Your printer’s lifespan depends greatly on the sturdiness of the machine, frequency of use and maintenance. Some printers last longer than some. To make sure that your printer will last, use it according to its (monthly) duty cycle. The monthly duty cycle tells you the maximum number of pages your printer is designed to produce.
A good idea is to buy a printer that has a duty cycle three times your estimated volume. Take good care of your printer so that it can perform at its best and last for a long time.
