what do you know about your Cellphone?

There is no question cell phone has completely changed the way that the world lives. From America to Africa, there isn't a continent that hasn't been affected by this technology. The sweeping popularity of the cell phone is unprecedented in World History.

                    

• It is estimated that 250-300 million cell phones are currently being used in the U.S.
•  There is one cell phone for every two people in the world, which is a grand total of about 3.3 billion cell phones that are actively in use.
•  There are more than 30 African nations that have more cell phones than land mines.
•  More than 1,000 cell phones are activated each minute.
• According to recent information from the FDA cell phones do not pose a health hazard. They do emit low levels of radio frequency (RF) energy, but there has been no proof that the level of RF produced, causes any health issues. One can reduce any perceived risk by using a hands free device, which significantly reduces the small amount of RF energy that a cell phone user is exposed to.
•  A study by the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research showed that 83% of people believe that cell phones make their lives easier. The cell phone even beat out the Internet in this survey.
•  Technology has come a long way in just a few short decades. Evidence of this can be seen in the fact that an iPhone has more processing power than the North American Air Defense Command did in 1965.
•  Cell phones can help authorities find an owner’s location if he is ever lost or injured. Of course, calling 911 is always best, if possible, but if one is unable to send out a call, his location can be tracked based on the towers that his cell phone is pinging. A cell phone does have to be turned on in order to ping towers, so if one is trying to conserve battery, one should make sure that it is turned on now and then so that there will be a record of the towers that his cell phone has been pinging. It does not give an exact location, but if a person is missing, searchers will have a basic area to cover based on that person’s cell phone’s signals. This is why, if one is able to call 911 and give a specific location, that is the best way to get help. But cell phones are important to have nearby in case of any emergency.
•  Cell phones can be recycled. There are many great non-profit groups who are willing to take old cell phones and refurbish them for needy people such as military men and women who are stationed overseas. Not only is this a great way to be Eco friendly, but it also provides the heroes of this country with a way to stay in touch with their family while overseas. Unfortunately, only 2.3% of Americans recycle their old cell phones and 7% throw them away. This is because over 70% of Americans are not aware that cell phones can be recycled. 
• The world's first mobile phone call was made in 1973 by Motorola employee Martin Cooper from the streets of New York City.   

The world's most popular phone is the Nokia 1100, a basic GSM candybar launched in 2003. Over 250 million 1100s have been sold. Nokia's 3210 and 3310 also made the top five, while the last slot belongs to the iconic Motorola RAZR.

What do you know about your Eyes??

1.About 80 % of what we perceive comes through the eyes. Our memories are made 80 % by images. The eye comes with information about the depth, distance, shape, color and movement of the objects. 


2.The human eye is one of nature's wonders and functions like a photo camera. Only that is much more complex. 

  An adult eye has about 24 mm (1 inch) in diameter and about 12 million photo receptors (light sensitive cells) and six muscles that move the ocular sphere with such a precision that it allows the eye to follow moving objects. Like a camera, the eye has a diaphragm (called iris), whose opening (called pupil) degree adapts to the brightness of the environment. In weak light, the pupil will be large, to let more light inside. This happens for example in the dark or twilight. In the daylight, the pupil is small. The iris gives the eye's color. 

  The pupil can increase its size also under the effect of strong emotions (fear, sexual turn on). 

  The light rays that cross the pupil have been previously concentrated by the powerful action (till 45 dioptres) of the cornea, a transparent salient layer. The cornea is the front part of the white membrane of the eye, called sclerotica, which is rich in blood vessels. The cornea is devoid of blood vessels. Between cornea and iris-crystalline, there is the watery humour, that cleans and feed the cornea. 

  The crystalline lens is charged with the focusing of the light and its refraction index (between 19 and 38 dioptres) is adjusted by the ciliary muscles. When we look at a remote object, the crystalline relaxes and flattens. When looking at a close object, the crystalline 

  turns convex. 

3.After crossing the vitreous humour, the light reaches the retina, a membrane possessing 130 photosensitive rods and 7 million color photosensitive cones. On the retina an upside down image is formed, a photo that is reverted by the brain. 

  The rods and the cones turn the light into electric signals which are transmitted through the ganglionic cells to the optic nerve and from there they reach the brain. 

  Rods are extremely sensitive to light, but they can distinguish only blue and green. The cones distinguish clear and colored images, but they require strong light. That's why in the dark, images are not clear and all appears in blue and green. Rods use vitamin A, that's why carrots, cabbage and other green vegetables benefit the eye. 

4.Human eye can detect 10 million color hues, but cannot see ultraviolet or infrared light. Insects can see the ultraviolet light. 

  Birds have yellow fatty filters in their cones that allow them to differentiate hues of green and detect easily homocromous (having the same color with) leaf color mimicking insects, which are practically invisible at just one look for humans. 

5.The human eye sees basically three colors: red, green and blue. These are basic colors. The white is a combination of the three, the black is their lack. Yellow, purple or mauve form through the combination of two basic colors; these are called secondary colors. 

6.The fore eyeball and the inner eyelids are covered by a transparent layer called conjunctive. While blinking, the conjunctive and the tears (produced by the Harder glands in the inner corner of the eye) moisturize and clean of dirt and dust the cornea. 

  We blink once or twice at 10 seconds, and a blink lasts 0.3 seconds. In 12 hours, we blink 25 minutes. Infants starts blinking at the age of 6 months. 

  Tears drain into the nasal cavity and are more abundant in case of dust or dirt. Strong emotions also cause abundant tearing (weeping). 

7.Most cones are agglomerated in a region of the retina called macula lutea ("yellow spot"). That's why to clearly see a thing, we have to move the eyes, so that the projection is formed on macula lutea. Close to macula lutea, there is a blind spot where the optic nerve goes out of the eye. 

8.Eyes are protected in bony eyesockets, sheathed with a fatty tissue, so that usually, the socket is more harmed that the proper eye. 

9.Because the eyes watch the environment from different angles, they send different information to the brain. The brain "learns" from the first days to assemble the two images, so that we do not see a double image. But the difference between the two images helps the brain detect the location of the objects in the space and distance. This is the tridimensional vision, provided by binocular sight (when the field of the two eyes interpose). 

  Arboreal and predatory animals need this type of sight for moving on the branches or hunt. 

Prey animals have usually lateral positioned eyes. Their fields do not interpose (this is monocular vision). They cannot assess distances well, but this way have larger visual fields, overlooking the environment for predators. 

10.Why do we see blurry underwater? This has to do with the refraction indexes. Air has the refraction index 1, cornea and water about 1.33. The human crystalline cannot focus properly the light when experiencing the refraction index of the water, that's why we see underwater things as being blurry. The issue is eliminated with diving glasses which put a layer of air before the eyes.

Fact about shoes

Wearing shoes

Analysis of the relative sturdiness of middle and big toe bones has revealed that human beings started wearing footwear about 40,000 years ago.

The world’s first crafted foot coverings were most likely sandals: a stiff sole that attaches to the foot with a strap. They can be made out of whatever is at hand: papyrus in early Egypt, rawhide among the Masai, wood in India, rice straw in China, sisal in South America, yucca in the American Southwest.

• Sandals originated in warm climates where the soles of the feet needed protection but the top of the foot needed to be cool.
• 4,000 years ago the first shoes were made of a single piece of rawhide that enveloped the foot for both warmth and protection.
• In Europe pointed toes on shoes were fashionable from the eleventh to the fifteenth centuries.
• In the Middle East heels were added to shoes to lift the foot from the burning sand.
• In Europe in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries heels on shoes were always colored red.
• Shoes all over the world were identical until the nineteenth century, when left- and right-footed shoes were first made in Philadelphia.
• In Europe it wasn't until the eighteenth century that women's shoes were different from men's.
• Six-inch-high heels were worn by the upper classes in seventeenth-century Europe. Two servants, one on either side, were needed to hold up the person wearing the high heels.
• In 18th century legislation designed to create paved walkways within cities allowed women to wear less practical shoes with higher heels

•  Boots were first worn in cold, mountainous regions and hot, sandy deserts where horse-riding communities lived. Heels on boots kept feet secure in the stirrups.
• Sandals originated in warm climates where the soles of the feet needed protection but the top of the foot needed to be cool.
• Biggest Shoes in the World: Marikina City owns the distinction of having crafted the world’s largest pair of shoes, each measuring 5.5 meters long, 2.25 meters wide and 1.83 meters high. The heel alone measures 41 centimeters or 16 inches. The P2-million shoes can reportedly fit to a 37.5-meter or 125-foot giant. Around 30 people could put their feet into the colossal shoes simultaneously.
• Cinderella is the obvious first…then there’s Anderson’s “Little Match Seller”, who has her shoes stolen by ragamuffins. There’s also the girl from “The Red Shoes”, which is quite a creepy and wonderful story. The mermaid from “The Little Mermaid” feels as if she’s walking on knives all the time, though that isn’t really shoes. On to Grimm. There’s the little sister in “The Almond Tree” who gets a pair of shoes from her dead brother. There’s “The Shoemaker and the Elves”, though I don’t think that has anything to do with women, if that’s your topic. The girls in “The Twelve Dancing Princesses” wear out their shoes. If you want to go as far as Hoffman, Clara from “The Nutcracker” defeats the mouse king by throwing her shoe at him. Don’t forget the iron shoes in which Snow White’s stepmother dances to her death at the “happy ending” wedding.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT SLEEP ..

1. The record for the longest period without sleep is 18 days, 21 hours, 40 minutes during a rocking chair marathon. The record holder reported hallucinations, paranoia, blurred vision, slurred speech and memory and concentration lapses.

2. The “natural alarm clock” which enables some people to wake up more or less when they want to is caused by a burst of the stress hormone adrenocorticotropin. 

3. Tiny luminous rays from a digital alarm clock can be enough to disrupt the sleep cycle even if you do not fully wake. The light turns off a “neural switch” in the brain, causing levels of a key sleep chemical to decline within minutes.

4. Ducks at risk of attack by predators are able to balance the need for sleep and survival, keeping one half of the brain awake while the other slips into sleep mode.

5. Daytime naps improve memory! It also helps you remember important facts.
Naps also cut risk of heart disease.
