1.   How to fight aging
Did you know that just walking for 30 minutes, 3 or 4 times a
week is enough to combat aging?
According to researchers at the University of California, one of
the principle causes of deterioration of the human organism’s physical
faculties is its diminished ability to metabolize glucose. And they
showed that even leisurely exercise, like taking a walk, plays an
important role in keeping glucose metabolism functioning smoothly.
Do you spend the whole day sitting at your desk or in front of a
computer screen? Why not get up occasionally and do a few minutes
of physical exercise? Don’t worry about what other people think.
In some Japanese companies, it is even become a collective
habit. Every twenty minutes a bell sounds, and everybody gets up to
do some stretching exercises, after which they sit down again as if
nothing had happened. Japanese managers are convinced that their
employees are more productive when they are

Lemons and Cancer

Even doctors are now saying that there is value in trying “LEMON” So, a tablespoon of "real lemon" (the concentrate in a bottle) in a glass of water every morning. What can it  hurt? The surprising benefits of lemon!================================ Institute of Health Sciences, 819 N. L.L.C. Charles Street Baltimore , MD 1201. This is the latest in medicine, effective for cancer! Read carefully & you be the judge. Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy. Why do we not know about that? Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits. You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease. Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy. How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the beneficial multimillionaires large corporations? As you know, the lemon tree is known for its varieties of lemons and limes. You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc... It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumors. This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is too high and an antidepressant, combats stress and nervous disorders. The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that: It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas ... The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells. And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells. Institute of Health Sciences, 819 N. L.L.C.

Why India Is "Geek Nation"

BY Neal Ungerleider
India is already known as one of the world’s IT powerhouses. Angela Saini, author of the new Geek Nation: How Indian Science is Taking Over the World, believes the country is also becoming one of the world’s hubs for innovation and scientific ingenuity.

Over the past few years, BRIC (Brazil-Russia-India-China) has become a buzzword of sorts for technology- and finance-watchers. India is already known for call centers, IT development, and expatriate coders. The country is also home to one of the world’s fastest-growing middle classes. Angela Saini, the British author of the new Geek Nation: How Indian Science is Taking Over The World (http://www.angelasaini.co.uk/books.htm), believes that India is also becoming an innovation center to be reckoned with, and a world leader in tech.

Fast Company recently spoke with Saini about India’s tech industry, the growth of Indian startups, and what the future holds for Indian innovators.
Why do you consider India to be a "Geek Nation"?
I grew up in London, and it’s difficult to grow up in this city and not notice that every school has at least one geeky Indian kid. I was the geeky Indian kid in my class. My dad is a geek, many of my cousins are geeks, and more generally, India is famous for producing doctors, university professors, and engineers who work all over the world. India itself is not a world leader in science and technology yet but it does have a culture that strongly favors these things, above anything else. So Geek Nation was my journey to figure out why, and also where that ambition is taking it.

I have to admit, as a science journalist, I started out with a big measure of skepticism--I mean, India has a weak scientific publication record compared to the U.S. and Europe--but the trajectory it’s on is just incredible. I think the rest of the world underestimates just what hundreds of thousands of committed young scientists and engineers can achieve. Then again, President Obama gets it. If you look at his speeches on science and education, he often mentions the growth of India as one reason that the U.S. needs to stay competitive.

The subtitle of my book is a bit bombastic, but the contents are more balanced. I look at scientific research and technologies that are having a big effect on ordinary people’s lives--the good as well as the bad--and the ambitious projects that the government hopes will help secure India’s future superpower status. At the end of the day, I’m just a journalist. I’m not trying to argue a point, but rather to take an honest picture of a country through my geeky lens.
What was the most surprising thing you uncovered while researching your book?
There wasn’t a day in my research that I wasn’t surprised by something. I traveled the length of India, north to south, and met such fascinating characters. What impressed me most is that so many Indian researchers have such a social aspect to their work. They want to help India’s poor and vulnerable, as well as to do good science.
One interviewee, Sujatha Narayanan, was a tuberculosis researcher I met in Chennai. A few years ago, when she didn’t have enough healthy volunteers for her work, she started running tests on herself. One day she found some TB bacteria in a tube that had been in her throat, which meant she may have accidentally infected herself. She had to undertake a grueling drug treatment for months, which she believes triggered her diabetes. She put her life on the line for her work, but it has not diminished her passion or her commitment to science.
What role are ethnic Indian immigrants/returnees from the West playing in India’s tech industry? Are they a major factor?
The success of India’s tech industry has encouraged a lot of young engineers and scientists who left the country, in the big brain drain, to return. And they’re playing a big part in shaping the future of the industry. Not only are they bringing their expertise and experience, but they are also bringing the culture of places like Silicon Valley. In Bangalore these days there are meetups and cool conferences for young techies and designers, just like you get in San Francisco. There’s this buzz about the big cities, which is making them an exciting environment to be in. But it’s not just in IT--I met scientists in all kinds of fields who had chosen to come back to India because they felt the opportunities were improving and that they could make a difference to the country.

Can you explain why you compared India’s current situation to Japan in the early 1970s?

When you read academic studies about the attitudes that people had toward Japan’s technology industry in its early days, it’s very similar to what people have been saying about India recently--that scientists and engineers are hardworking and educated, but not particularly creative or original. In Japan’s case of course that all changed, giving rise to a truly powerful scientific nation. I think similar stirrings are happening in India now. There are shoots of creativity all over the country, particularly in areas like biotechnology, life sciences, and computing. I don’t want to forecast what might happen, because I don’t think anyone can know for sure, but India does at least have the ambition and willpower to want to be the next scientific superpower.
You wrote about jugaad--the power of improvising to solve problems--in a recent article. How do you think that has influenced India’s tech industry?

I didn’t write about jugaad in my book. But yeah, I wrote an article about it recently, because it is such a fascinating phenomenon. Jugaad is a very broad-brush word, meaning something like getting things done by hook or by crook. So for example, in rural areas, people will throw together tractor engines and bits of wood to make trucks, and in the urban slums, people will recycle old newspapers and rework appliances to make new ones. It’s really driven by poverty, but it has inspired some Indian companies to look at frugal, mass innovation for India’s domestic market--for example, the TATA Nano car. But I don’t think it’s had a big impact on India’s mainstream technology industry, which is focused on creating high-quality products and services that can sell overseas.

What do you see as the strong points and weak points of India’s tech industry?

India’s tech industry is great at business innovation. India’s outsourcing model for IT work has been incredibly successful and, on the back of this, it’s managed to build a profitable industry that is globally competitive. But it’s less good at genuine technological innovation. India simply hasn’t yet produced a company of the caliber of IBM or Microsoft. But that isn’t to say it will never do it. It certainly wants to, but I have a feeling it may come from the younger generation, which is more free in its thinking and creative.

Geek Nation was released this past March in the United Kingdom and is currently awaiting U.S. release.

PIN Code Contest Turns out Surprises

Writing those magical six-digit numbers in your letters could help them reach the right destination even if the address is incomplete. Pincodes, an abbreviation of postal index number code, that completes an address are often not given much significance.

A contest on usage of pincode recently conducted by the Tamil Nadu circle of the Department of Posts threw up many surprises. Of the 42,000 entries from across the State and Puducherry, only 3,560 had correct answers. Some of the winners chosen through a lucky draw here recently were primary school students from districts such as Tuticorin and Puducherry.

Though introduced to identify a particular location in a city and facilitate delivery of letters, specifying pincodes in addresses have become mandatory to obtain several services.

Even after three decades since its launch on August 15, 1972, only 60 per cent of the people are aware of pincodes. Officials of the Postal Department recalled instances when the mails travelled to different locations sharing the same name because they were devoid of pincode. Postmen played a pivotal role in delivering mails without proper address or pincode.

Right from how many digits does a pincode contain what they signify to their meaning, the contest had put forth interesting and informative questions to the participants.

Tamil Nadu and Kerala share the first digit of the pincode. While the first three digits indicate the district, the last three refer to the delivery post office. Starting from GPO (600001), Chennai has pincodes up to 600126 (Madambakkam).

Chief Post Master General (Tamil Nadu circle), Shanthi Nair, said the contest was open to school, college students and other customers to popularise the concept of using pincode. On an average, one or two pincodes are added in the State every year. When a delivery post office is merged, its pincode is later allotted to another. But, merging a post office with a separate pincode is a rare occurrence.

While three toppers get a laptop each, seven persons who share the second place won digital cameras, she said.

Since its launch in 1972 only 60 per cent of the people are aware of pincodes. The contest brought out interesting queries.

Philosophy (Its about Life)

We never get what we want,
We never want what we get,
We never have what we like,
We never like what we have.
And still we live & love.
That's life...

The best kind of friends,
Is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with,
Never say a word,

And then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

It's true that we don't know

What we've got until it's gone,

But it's also true that we don't know
What we've been missing until it arrives..

 

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back!
Don't expect love in return;
Just wait for it to grow in their heart,
But if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.
 

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,

An hour to like someone,

And a day to love someone,

But it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
 

Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
Because it takes only a smile to

Make a dark day seems bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile!
 

May you have
Enough happiness to make you sweet,
Enough trials to make you strong,
Enough sorrow to keep you human,
And enough hope to make you happy.
 

Always put yourself in others' shoes.
If you feel that it hurts you,
It probably hurts the other person, too.
 

The happiest of people
Don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

Happiness lies for

Those who cry,
Those who hurt,

Those who have searched,
And those who have tried,
For only they can appreciate the importance of people
Who have touched their lives.
 

When you were born, you were crying
And everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die,
You're the one who is smiling

And everyone around you is crying.
 

Please send this message
To those people who mean something to you,
To those who have touched your life in one way or another,
To those who make you smile when you really need it,
To those that make you see the brighter side of things When you are really down,
To those who you want to know
That you appreciate their friendship.

 

And if you don't, don't worry,
Nothing bad will happen to you,
You will just miss out on the opportunity
to brighten someone's life with this message...

My Stamp Scheme introduced by India Post in Mumbai

Indranil Mukherjee/Agence France-Presse/Getty ImagesA postal employee sorted ordered sets of special postage stamps featuring photographs of citizens in Mumbai on Feb. 6, 2012.

Sealed with a kiss is so passé. Now you can send letters with stamps bearing a picture of your face.

The “My Stamp” scheme in Mumbai lets you have your photograph printed on five rupee (10 U.S. cent) stamps. The minimum order a customer can place is for one sheet of 12 stamps.

Mumbai General Post Office, which operates under the country’s central post department India Post, started the initiative Saturday and has attracted more than 700 people so far, officials say. The scheme will run until Feb. 11.
Mumbai Post Office has hired photographers to take customers’ pictures for the stamps, which carry backdrops such as the Taj Mahal, zodiac signs and characters from the Panchatantra fables.

Mumbai is just the latest Indian city to try out the “My Stamp” scheme, which was first introduced at the National Philately Exhibition in New Delhi last February and later launched in the capital and elsewhere, including Lucknow and Pune.

Indranil Mukherjee/Agence France-Presse/Getty ImagesA couple got photographed for their set of postage stamps in Mumbai on Feb. 6.

“We followed a holistic approach wherein we tied the announcement with the inauguration of the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival in the city and spread the word,” said Abha Singh, director at Mumbai GPO, who described the response as “terrific.”
Seminars on philately and heritage walks of the GPO, which is located in the city’s Fort area and dates back to 1794, were some of the initiatives tied to the launch.

“Things like Facebook have overtaken letter-writing and thus interest in philately has also waned. We hope to popularize the hobby in the modern age,” Ms. Singh said, adding that while volumes of personalized mail have gone down, business mail – including bills and credit card statements — have remained high despite the advent of email.
“There is a certain kind of romanticism attached when a letter to your dear one bears a stamp with your picture. It is more powerful than words,” she said.

Indranil Mukherjee/Agence France-Presse/Getty ImagesA grandmother looked at a set of her stamps that she got clicked with her grandson.

“What could be more better than having your own photo as a stamp and being able to use it just the way you use an ordinary stamp,” added Basti Solanki, president of the Pune-based International Collectors’ Society of Rare Items. Mr. Solanki has been collecting Indian stamps for 25 years.
Mr. Solanki added that a friend had more than 1,000 stamps printed for his wedding invitations. “The guests were obviously surprised. It also added a personal touch to the cards.”

According to a new report by U.K.-based Oxford Strategic Consulting, India has one post office per 7,651 citizens and its postal service ranks sixth among emerging countries in terms of delivery efficiency.
The top ranked emerging market postal operator is Correios Brazil, which is ninth overall, followed by Russia Post, the consultancy firm says. The U.S. Postal Service is currently the top performer overall.
