Hapa ni ukweli kuhusu gharama ya meli ya Titanic ni dola milioni 7.5 ya kujenga ambayo ilijengwa mwaka 1912 ...  gharama ya muvi ya Titanic ni dola milioni 200! Hata tukisema meli hiyo ikijengwa kwa sasa pamoja na kuwa bei ya vifaa imepanda sana kulinganisha na kipindi kile bado meli hiyo ya Titanic ingegharimu kihasi cha milioni 175 ya kuijenga leo hii kwa mujibu wa Idara ya Marekani ya Kazi 19s na Mfumuko wa bei chombo Wengine wanaamini kwamba itachukua hadi milioni 400, lakini ukweli ni kwamba hata kama ingekua kwa sasa wangeitaji kutengeneza muvi ya "Titanic II" muvi hiyo itagharimu gharama kubwa kushinda hata bei hii ($400)!

 Ronaldinho stunned Coke chiefs by turning up at a press conference and sipping nonchalantly from a can of their arch-rivals' fizzy pop. Furious bosses at the Atlanta-based firm immediately demanded that the plug be pulled on his huge endorsement deal, according to a report in the 'O Estado de Sao Paulo' newspaper.

"The fact that the player has appeared with a can of Pepsi was the straw that broke the camel's back," Coca Cola marketing chief Marcelo Pontes told the paper. "The sponsorship had become embarrassing."
Embarrassing, sure. But is this display of brand disloyalty stunning? Ronaldinho has always been Pepsi:

• A fitness test on Sánchez’s hamstring set for Saturday • New signing Gabriel will be available the weekend • Gabriel Paulista completes move to Arsenal

Alexis Sánchez has emerged as a hamstring doubt for Arsenal’s home game against Aston Villa on Sunday, as Arsène Wenger prepares to include the £11.3m new signing Gabriel Paulista in the squad.
Sánchez will undergo a fitness test on Saturday and Wenger seemed to suggest that he might err on the side of caution, given the intensity of the upcoming programme. Sánchez was used only as a 70th minute substitute in the FA Cup win at Brighton & Hove Albion last Sunday.

Gabriel is match fit, having not missed a league fixture this season for Villarreal, the club that the centre-half swapped for Arsenal earlier in the week and, given the on-going need to manage Laurent Koscielny’s achilles issue, he could feature against Villa.
Danny Welbeck (thigh) and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (groin) are out, together with the longer-term casualties Jack Wilshere, Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Debuchy.
“The squad will be exactly the same as last Sunday,” Wenger said. “The only uncertainty we have is Alexis Sánchez, who has a hamstring concern, and that will be decided on Saturday. He might be out for Sunday.
“The only other difference is that Gabriel is available and we’ll check on how he is physically but he should be alright to be available. Welbeck is very close. He will join in normal training on Monday. He will be available for the Tottenham game [next Saturday].”

The Strait of Gibraltar crossing is a hypothetical bridge or tunnel spanning the Straits of Gibraltar that would connect Europe and Africa. The governments of Spain and Morocco appointed a joint committee^[1] to investigate the feasibility of linking the two continents^[when?]. This resulted in the much broader Euromed Transpor
 Several engineers have designed bridges on various alignments and with differing structural configurations. Professor T.Y. Lin’s proposal for a crossing between Point Oliveros and Point Cires featured deep piers, a length of 14 kilometres (8.7 mi), 910 metres (3,000 ft) tall towers, and a 5,000 metres (16,000 ft) span, more than twice the length of the current longest bridge span.^[3]
In 2004, architect Eugene Tsui published his concept for a floating and submerged bridge, connected at a three-mile wide island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.^[4]
In 2004, the Science Museum published an image of the proposed Gibraltar Straits road bridge.

Various Gibraltar tunnels have been proposed. Spain first proposed a modern tunnel under the Strait of Gibraltar in 1930. A major problem arose when the engineers hired by the Spanish government discovered that the material under the Strait was extremely hard rock, making tunnelling impossible with the available technology.^[6] One engineering solution was to fix, using cables, a prefabricated concrete tunnel to the floor of the Strait. This tunnel would handle automotive and train traffic. Nothing came of this proposed solution.^[7]
A 2008 geological study cast doubt on the tunnel's practicality. In March 2009, a contract was issued for a joint system linking the Moroccan Société Nationale d'Etudes du Détroit de Gibraltar (SNED) with its Spanish counterpart, Sociedad española de estudios para la comunicación fija a través del Estrecho de Gibraltar S.A (SECEGSA). A three-year study for a railway tunnel was announced in 2003. SNED and SECEGSA commissioned several sea-bed surveys.
The Strait depth extends to 900 metres (3,000 ft) on the shortest route, although it is only about 300 metres deep slightly further west, where the European and African plates meet. The shortest crossing is 14 kilometres (8.7 mi). The proposed route of 23 kilometres (14 mi) is west of Tarifa and to the east of Tangier. The tunnel is likely to be about 34 kilometres (21 miles) in all. A connection would have to be made to the Spanish high speed railway network, which has a line projected to be built from Cádiz to Málaga via Algeciras.
A report^[8][9][10] on the feasibility of the tunnel was presented to the EU in 2009. A further project study is under development by a group of specialist consultants from SYSTRA, Amberg and COWI.^{[citation needed]}

Planning

Strait of Gibraltar perspective (the Rif on the right and Andalusia on the left)

In December 2003, Spain and Morocco agreed^[11][12] to explore the construction of an undersea rail tunnel to connect their rail systems. The tunnel would have linked Cape Malabata near Tangier with Punta Paloma in the El Estrecho Natural Park 40 kilometres (25 mi) west of Gibraltar.^[13] In late 2006, Lombardi Engineering Ltd, a Swiss engineering and design company, was retained to draft a design for a railway tunnel.^[14] According to the company, the main differences between the construction of this tunnel and that of the Channel Tunnel, linking France and Great Britain, are the depth of the sea and the geological conditions. The area under the Strait is less stable than that under the English Channel. An active major geologic fault, the Azores-Gibraltar Transform Fault, bisects the Strait, and severe earthquakes have occurred in the area. The presence of two deep Quaternary clay channels in the middle of the Strait makes construction complex,^[8] causing doubts about the feasibility of the project and proposals for an exploratory tunnel.^[15]
It is projected to carry 9 million passengers in its first year of operation, expected to be 2025. No official figures about the cost of the project had been announced by 2007, but previous estimates exceeded €5 billion.^[16]

Technical aspect

The proposed rail tunnel's length is 40 kilometres (25 mi), 300 metres (980 ft) deep,^[9] and its construction would take 15 years. An earlier plan was to link the two continents via the narrowest part of the strait, but this idea was dismissed as it is 900 metres (3,000 ft) below sea level and the deepest undersea tunnel, the Eiksund Tunnel, is 287 metres (942 ft) below sea level. The construction of terminals, such as the Eurotunnel Folkestone Terminal and Eurotunnel Calais Terminal at either end of the Channel Tunnel, might be required for trans-shipment of road vehicles.

It literally means, "sleeping while present".^[1] It is a way for an employee to show how committed they are to working. In other words, the employee spends so much time working that they sleep too little at home and have to do inemuri. Some people even fake inemuri, so that their bosses believe they are working hard.^[2] Unwritten rules apply to inemuri, including who is allowed to do it - only those high up or low down in a company - and how it is performed - the person is supposed to remain upright to show they are still socially engaged in some way.^[2]

The Italian man, identified by lawyers in the case only as Antonio C, was rifling through an old chest of drawers when he made the discovery a few days before Christmas.

Notwithstanding the time that had elapsed since the betrayal, he was so upset that he immediately confronted his wife of 77 years, named as Rosa C, and demanded a divorce. 

Guilt-stricken, she reportedly confessed everything but was unable to persuade her husband to reconsider his decision.

She wrote the letters to her lover during a secret affair in the 1940s, according to court papers released in Rome this week.

The couple are now preparing to split, despite the ties they forged over nearly eight decades – they have five children, a dozen grandchildren and one great-grand child.

The discovery of the letters was the final straw for a marriage which had already run into difficulty – 10 years ago the husband briefly left their house in Rome and moved in with one of his sons, only to return a few weeks later.
The Italian press attributed the acrimonious split to the couple's southern blood – he is originally from Olbia in Sardinia, while his wife was born in Naples.
The couple met during the 1930s when Antonio was posted as a young Carabinieri officer to Naples.
The case appears to set a new record, at least for the age of the oldest protagonist – the previous oldest couple to divorce were Bertie and Jessie Wood, both aged 98, from the UK.
The pair ended their 36-year marriage in 2009 when they were both two years away from their 100th birthdays.
They got married in Elstree, Hertfordshire, in 1972, having both ended previous marriages, before moving to Falmouth, Cornwall four years later.

Kwa kawaida mtoto mdogo anapo zaliwa anakuwa na mifupa zaidi ya 360 na ni kwasababu wako katika kipindi cha kukua.  misuli mingi ujitengeneza ndani yao kwa ajili ya kutoa msaada katika mwili hasa katika sehemu za maungo ya (join) na kusababisha mifupa mingi kujitengeneza mwlili.
Sabau nyingine inayowafanya watoto kuwa na mifupa mingi ni kuwa wao hawawezi kupata radha ya chumvi mpaka watimize miezi minne, na hapo chini ni ukweli kuhusu watoto wadogo....

Babies can suffer serious health effects if their mothers have an STD, including death, low birth weight, conjunctivitis (an eye infection), pneumonia, neonatal sepsis (infection in the baby’s blood stream), neurologic damage, blindness, deafness, acute hepatitis, meningitis, chronic liver disease, and cirrhosis. Many of these problems can be prevented if the mother receives prenatal care that includes screening for STDs.^m
Shaking one's head to indicate "no" may have derived from full babies
23. Some scientists suggest that shaking the head to mean “no” derives from newborns turning their head away from food when they are full.^k
24. A baby can recognize the smell and voice of its mother at birth. It takes a few weeks before a baby can see the difference between its mother and other adults.^k
25. A baby’s first social smile appears between four and six weeks after birth.^l

40. In four or five out of every 100 newborn babies, there is discharge of milk from the nipples. This is due to unusually high levels of the mother’s hormones that leak across the placenta during pregnancy. Premature babies never have this discharge, only those who are full term.ⁱ
41. A baby’s head is proportionally huge, being one-quarter of the total body length, compared to only one-eighth of the total adult’s length.^k
42. The grasp of a newborn baby is so strong that its whole body can hang in midair, with its bent fingers supporting its weight.^k

50. The very best chance a baby has of surviving gestation is when its mother is aged 22, an age which has been described as “the age of fecundity” in humans.^l
51. The chances of giving birth to twins are especially high in certain parts of West Africa. In Nigeria, for example, the odds are 22-1. Conversely, women in Japan are less likely to have twins, with the odds as high as 200-1.^k
52. The average weight of a baby at birth is 7-8 lbs. The smallest baby ever to survive weighed only 8.5 oz. at birth.^k
53. On the whole, boy babies are slightly heavier than girl babies. The average weight of a newborn boy is 7 lbs. 10 oz. while that of a newborn girl is 7 lbs. 2 oz.^k
54. The brain of a newborn accounts for 10% of its total body weight. In adults this figure is down to 2%. By the end of the first year, an infant’s brain increases in size two and half times, and by the end of the fifth year, it is three times what it was at birth. At all stages, the male brain is slightly larger than that of the female.^e
55. Babies are born with natural swimming abilities and can hold their breath. However, this ability quickly disappears.^e
Salt receptors on the tongue develop roughly four months after birth
56. At around 6 months old, a baby learns that each object is unique. Before this time, whenever it sees a bird in a tree, it always assumes it was the same bird.^l
57. Brain scans reveal that male babies have more asymmetrical brain hemispheres than female babies, and that female brains tend to have greater symmetry in the part of the brain concerned with complex mental processes. Female babies have more gray matter in the newer parts of the cerebral cortex, while male babies have proportionately more gray matter in the older, more primitive parts of the brain. Male brains are also significantly larger on the left.^e
58. The term “infant” is from the Latin infans, meaning “unable to speak” and typically refers to the ages from 1-12 months. A “newborn” usually refers to an infant in the first 28 days of life.^l
59. SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) is responsible for more deaths than any other cause for babies 1 month to 1 year old, claiming 7,000 babies each year in the United States, or almost one baby every hour.ⁿ
60. Eyesight is the least developed of all the newborn senses. Newborns can see best at a distance of only 8-14 inches, and until they are about three months old, they see best in their peripheral vision. Babies may also have difficulty distinguishing color tones.^j
Most newborns lose all the hair they are born with
61. Most newborns will lose all the hair they are born with in the first three or four months of life.^k
62. Babies are not born with psychic tearing, or tears that indicates emotional distress, though they are born with basal tearing (enough tears to keep the eyes moist and healthy) and reflex tearing (tears that respond to an irritant). Between 2 and 4 months of age, a baby will start crying with tears when it gets upset.^e
63. Newborns prefer the cadence of their native language at birth, suggesting that some language learning starts in utero. Research suggests that babies may even cry with the intonations of their mother tongue.^e
64. Ancient Greeks were known to spit on themselves to ward off the Evil Eye, and the ritual extended to babies as well. Medieval nurses licked the faces of their charges, while peasants all over the world would spit in the faces of babies.^l
65. Babies all over the world have been adorned with necklaces, anklets, and amulets to ward off the Evil Eye. Some ornamental infant wear included odd numbers, (which were thought to have protective powers), crescent shapes, five-point stars, amber, red beads, tiger images, and coral.^l
66. In European and American societies, coral was often used as a teething aid or in rattles for babies, but its real function was to act as a protective element in the battle against evil. It was used specifically for first-born sons. Known since ancient times, the Greeks believed coral had grown from the blood of the Gorgon, Medusa.^l
67. Historians of the 18th century estimate that an infant was four times more likely to be a victim of homicide than anyone else.^l
68. One of the first foundling hospitals to be recorded was established by Datheus, Archbishop of Milan in A.D. 787. His intention was to help parents avoid eternal damnation in killing their children by bringing them to a hospital.^l
69. In Europe, milk was not pasteurized until the 1890s and was avoided, particularly for infants, because people believed their child would grow up to resemble the animal.^l
70. The Greeks thought that mother’s milk was produced in the uterus and transported to the breast by special vessels in the body. There existed since the Middle Ages a vague awareness that breast milk provided some protection against sickness—but colostrum, the fluid secreted after birth, was considered dangerous, and women were advised not to feed the newborn baby for a few days. An older child would draw the breast milk first.^k
71. In Medieval Europe, unruly babies were thought to be the result of inferior breast milk.^l
72. Up until the 7th century, doctors believed many infant sicknesses were caused by the presence of too much acid in the stomach. Babies were fed chalk, crushed eggshells, coral, and oyster shells mixed with their gruel to counteract the acidity.^l
73. Until the 19th century, babies were not considered to have personalities and, therefore, were not in need of the physical and psychological nurturing advised today.^l
74. Redheaded wet nurses were avoided because at least until the 19th century, it was thought that babies absorbed the characteristics of the person nursing them. Parents wanted to avoid the legendary tempers of redheads.^l
75. In 1235, Henry III decreed that Christian wet nurses could not nurse Jewish babies.^l
76. Depending on family economics, in the 18th century, babies were fed a kind of gruel made of flour and water. Known as “pap,” “panda,” or “caudle,” it was a breeding ground for bacteria and most closely resembled wallpaper paste.^l
77. Spoons were often used to feed infants and were known as “pap boats.” Expensive and elaborate versions were available to those who could afford it. The expression “born with a silver spoon in one’s mouth” probably evolved around the 16th century.^l
78. In Europe and America in the 18th century, it was tradition to wash a newborn and then scour it with salt. It would be purged of meconium with emetic syrup, oil of almonds, castor oil, or anything else the midwife had, including wine and whisky.^l
79. In parts of England, a newborn’s head was washed in rum for luck. It was common all over Europe to give the infant a dab of butter and a little sugar to signify the hoped for riches that the child would have in the future.^l
80. Traditionally the caul, which sometimes covered the head of an infant, was highly treasured and credited with magical powers.^l
81. Traditionally, the length of the cut umbilical cord was thought to predict the length of a male baby’s penis.^l
82. In Ancient Rome, an olive branch would be hung from the front door of a house if a boy was born, and a strip of woolen fabric was hung if the child was a girl. Eighteenth-century London houses hung strips of ribbon on their doorknockers: pink for a girl and blue for a boy.^l
83. The Apache Indians ritually killed one twin, arguing that the mother did not have sufficient milk to feed two infants, and some Eskimo tribes left one twin outside to die in the cold.^l
Babies tend to prefer female voices over male voices
84. Babies typically prefer a female voice over a male voice, which may explain why people raise the pitch of their voice when talking to babies, otherwise known as “motherese.”^k
85. Meconium, or the greenish-black sticky material in the baby’s digestive track, stands in for fecal material and allows the intestine to develop so it can digest milk immediately after birth.^k
86. The philosopher John Lock argued in An Essay Concerning Human Understanding that a baby is born with a “blank slate” or a tabula rasa. This is in contrast to the beliefs of Plato and the medieval church, both of whom believed babies were born with innate inequalities.^l
87. Psychologists believe that a baby’s self-awareness develops around 12 months old.^e
88. Object permanence is usually understood at 8-9 months of age.^e
89. In the late 19th century, it was medically accepted in Europe and America that “infants who persisted in the habit of sucking always become masturbators.” Not only were pacifiers considered unhealthy, parents were instructed to tie their children’s hands to their cribs or to stuff their hands inside aluminum mittens.^b
90. Babies in medieval Europe were often tightly swaddled in linen strips because it was thought that swaddling would help its arms and legs grow straight. It also served to immobilize the baby.^l
91. The infant mortality in medieval Europe was as high as 30-50%.^l
Female infanticide is still a major problem in India and China
92. Female infanticide is still a major problem in India and China. Estimates indicate that 30.5 million females are “missing” from China.^k
93. To many Victorians, the sight of crawling infants reminded them of their ape-like origins, and they forced their children to learn to walk early with the aid of cages and walkers.^l
94. Research suggests that infants have a complex understanding of social interactions and hierarchies by 8-10 months of age.^e
95. After birth, the human brain more than doubles to reach 60% of its adult size by the time a baby is 1 year old. By kindergarten, the brain has reached its full size but it typically does not finish developing until the child is in its mid-20s.^e
96. The word “baby” may come from a baby’s babbling, as in “ba-ba-ba-ba.”^l
97. Research indicates that a baby’s name influences a baby’s life into adulthood. For example, a newborn boy with a more “feminine” name could lead to behavioral problems in life.^g
98. Children don’t remember much before the age of 3, due to what psychologists call “infantile amnesia.” Neuroscientists believe that early experiences never make it into long-term memory banks because the brain’s recording machinery isn’t functional yet or because memory is tied to language acquisition.^e
99. A baby will eat an estimated 15 pounds of cereal per year.^c

 

1. Your system of blood vessels -- arteries, veins and capillaries -- is over 60,000 miles long. That's long enough to go around the world more than twice!
2. When attempting to locate their heart, most people place their hand on their left chest. Actually, your heart is located in the center of your chest between your lungs. The bottom of the heart is tipped to the left, so you feel more of your heart on your left side of your chest.
3. Heart has its own electrical impulse, it can continue to beat even when separated from the body, as long as it has an adequate supply of oxygen.
4. The “thump-thump”, “lubb-dubb” of a heartbeat is the sound made by the four valves of the heart closing.
5. The heart begins beating at four weeks after conception and does not stop until death
6. The heart does the most physical work of any muscle during a lifetime. The power output of the heart ranges from 1-5 watts. While the quadriceps can produce 100 watts for a few minutes, an output of one watt for 80 years is equal to 2.5 gigajoules
7. The heart beats about 100,000 times each day. 35 million times in a year and in a 70-year lifetime, the average human heart beats more than 2.5 billion times
8. As a kid your heart rate (number of times the heart beats in a minute) ranges between 90-120. As you become an adult heart beat ranges between 60-72 beats a minute. The heart rate should be calculated at resting stage (when you are relaxed and taking rest).
9. A small mass of specialized muscle on the back wall of the right atrium called the sino-atrial(SA) node, also known as the pacemaker sends out electrical impulses to generate the heartbeat at regular intervals. This is the one that regulates your heart beat.
10. Every day, the heart creates enough energy to drive a truck 20 miles. In a lifetime, that is equivalent to driving to the moon and back
11. An adult woman's heart weighs about 8 ounces, a man's about 10 ounces
12. A child's heart is about the size of a clenched fist; an adult's heart is about the size of two fists.
13. Blood is about 78 percent water.
14. Aorta is the largest artery in the body which helps carries the blood from the heart to various organs in the body.
15. The heart pumps oxygenated blood through the aorta (the largest artery) at about 1 mile (1.6 km) per hour. By the time blood reaches the capillaries, it is moving at around 43 inches (109 cm) per hour
16. Blood flows through the heart in this order: right atrium, right ventricle, pulmonary circuit, left atrium, left ventricle and into aorta that delivers blood to various organs in the body
17. Blood takes about 20 seconds to circulate throughout the entire vascular system.
18. Drugs such as cocaine, marijuana can affects the heart’s electrical activity and causes spasm of the arteries, which can lead to a heart attack or stroke, even in healthy people.
19. Some heavy snorers may have a condition called obtrusive sleep apnea (OSA), which can negatively affect the heart
20. Your body has on an average 5.6 litres of blood. 5.6 litres of blood circulates through the body 3 times every minute. In one day blood travels around 12,000 miles every day.
21. The heart pumps blood to almost all of the body’s 75 trillion cells. Only the corneas receive no blood supply.
22. 5% percent of blood supplies the heart, 15-20% goes to the brain and central nervous system, and 22% goes to the kidneys.
23. When one goes on for a vigorous exercise programme you should learn about your Target heart rate.
24. Prolonged lack of sleep can cause irregular jumping heartbeats called premature ventricular contractions (PVCs).
25. “Atrium” is Latin for “entrance hall,” and “ventricle” is Latin for “little belly.”
26. The right atrium holds about 3.5 tablespoons of blood. The right ventricle holds slightly more than a quarter cup of blood. The left atrium holds the same amount of blood as the right, but its walls are three times thicker
27. Grab a tennis ball and squeeze it tightly: that’s how hard the beating heart works to pump blood.
28. The heart works harder than any other muscle in the body, it needs a much richer blood supply. The coronary arteries, which leave the aorta about a 1/2 inch above the aortic valve run along the outside of the heart. After giving off the oxygen to its capillaries, the blood then drains directly into the right atrium.
29. Blood is actually a tissue. When the body is at rest, it takes only six seconds for the blood to go from the heart to the lungs and back, only eight seconds for it to go the brain and back, and only 16 seconds for it to reach the toes and travel all the way back to the heart.
30. Coronary artery disease is due to atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, which is a slow progressive build-up of cholesterol plaque in the arteries of the heart. Most patients find out that they have heart disease when it is quite advanced. This is due to lack of understanding about how heart disease develops. 
31. Heart disease actually kills two times more women than all cancers combined. 
32. Do not rely only on cholesterol level. 77% of people who have the first heart attack attack are found to have normal cholesterol.
33. If your ECG, ECO and Treadmill tests are normal still you can have early disease for changes occur in these tests after blocks develop to more than 60%. That means you are missing out early lesions and indirectly allowing the disease to grow.
34. Conventional coronary angiogram is unable to detect early heart disease where the relative cross sectional plaque area is less than 45%.  In other words a "normal coronary angiogram" may not necessarily mean normal  coronary arteries.
35. When you measure your BP you have 2 values eg 120/80mm Hg. The number on the top ie 120 mm Hg is the systolic pressure which is the highest arterial pressure recorded during a ventricular cycle. This is commonly recorded during the contraction stage of the heart muscle. The bottom number 80mm Hg is the diastolic pressure. This is the lowest arterial pressure during a ventricular cycle. This is usually recorded while the heart is refilling with blood.
36. French physician Rene Laennec (1781-1826) invented the stethoscope when he felt it was inappropriate to place his ear on his large-buxomed female patients' chests.
37. Physician Erasistratus of Chios (304-250 B.C.) was the first to discover that the heart functioned as a natural pump.
38. The structure of the heart was first described in 1706, by Raymond de Viessens, a French anatomy professor.
39. The electrocardiograph (ECG) was invented in 1902 by Dutch physiologist Willem Einthoven. This test is still used to evaluate the heart's rate and rhythm.
40. The first heart specialists emerged after World War I.

At any one moment, you actually do not perceive that many pixels, but your eye moves around the scene to see all the detail you want. But the human eye really sees a larger field of view, close to 180 degrees. Let’s be conservative and use 120 degrees for the field of view.

Then we would see 120 * 120 * 60 * 60 / (0.3 * 0.3) = 576 megapixels.

The full angle of human vision would require even more megapixels. This kind of image detail requires A large format camera to record.

Therefore, once our cameras reach 576MP, the pictures you take with your camera will look exactly the same as you see them.

you see things one way, and your camera sees things differently.
So, what is the resolution of the human eye, at which a camera would be able to truly capture an image the way the eye sees it?

The answer is 576MP, the technical breakdown is as follows:

Consider a view in front of you that is 90 degrees by 90 degrees, like looking through an open window at a scene. The number of pixels would be 90 degrees * 60 arc-minutes/degree * 1/0.3 * 90 * 60 * 1/0.3 = 324,000,000 pixels (324 megapixels).

1) Facebook is blue because Zuckerberg is color-blind: According to a 2010 profile from the New Yorker, Facebook’s main color is blue because Zuckerberg has a red-green color blindness. In the interview, he told reporter Jose Antonio Vargas that “blue is the richest color for me — I can see all of blue.”
2) He says he’s not that interested in money: This is a well-known fact, but one that continues to surprise. In several interviews and goals statements, Zuckerberg has made it clear that making money is not his first aim — connecting the world is.
 
“Simply put: we don’t build services to make money; we make money to build better services,” Zuckerberg wrote in the company’s S-1 filing to go public.
3) He’s a fan of Taylor Swift: Yep. Says so on his Facebook profile.
4) He’s spent a year trying to only eat meat that he kills: Zuckerberg sets annual challenges for himself, and the challenge for 2011 was to move toward vegetarianism and only eat meat that he killed himself.
“The reason for this is that I feel lucky for having such a great life. I like eating meat and before this year I ate it almost every day,” he wrote. “In order to practice thankfulness, I want to be more connected to the food I eat and the animals that give their lives so I can eat them.”
5) He designed his wife’s wedding ring: Zuckerberg was the one who designed wife Priscilla Chan’s wedding ring, which is a ruby flanked on either side by diamonds. The ring has been a strange target of criticism, with the Daily Mail criticizing the gem’s size and saying that it’s not nearly the rock that one would expect of a billionaire.
6) He loves his dog: Okay, maybe this isn’t surprising, but it is an important fact about Zuckerberg, if his Facebook page is any indication. Beast Zuckerberg is a Puli, or a type of Hungarian sheepdog, and is the subject of several of Zuckerberg’s and Chan’s Facebook posts. He helped walk Chan down the aisle and even has his own page — on which he “says” he likes “cuddling and herding things.”
7) Zuckerberg’s many nicknames: To friends, he’s Zuck, but according to a 2010 report from CNN, his mom has her own special name for him: Princely.
The report also rounded up this tidbit from Harvard classmate Rebecca Davis O’Brien: Zuckerberg’s nickname after joining his fraternity Alpha Epsilon Pi was “Slayer.”
8) He once wore a tie every day for a whole year: Another one of his annual challenges that may surprise you: Zuckerberg once wore a tie every day for a year. That’s likely a surprise to anyone who knows that he normally wears a hoodie, jeans and sneakers — even when others think he shouldn’t.
But he went more formal for a year and outlined his reasons on his Facebook wall: “My 2009 challenge was to wear a tie for a whole year. After the start of the recession in 2008, I wanted to signal to everyone at Facebook that this was a serious year for us. Great companies thrive by investing more heavily while everyone else is cutting back during a recession. But great companies also make sure they're financially strong and sustainable. My tie was the symbol of how serious and important a year this was, and I wore it every day to show this.”
9) He really liked Andy Samberg’s impression of him on SNL: Zuckerberg is a figure of a lot of gentle (and not-so-gentle) ridicule in the media, but he particularly like the treatment he got on Saturday Night Live.
“Andy Samberg plays me on SNL. I'm a big Andy Samberg fan so I thought this was funny,” Zuckerberg wrote on his Facebook Timeline. Samberg later reprised his Zuck impression for f8, the social network’s developer conference.
10) He once built a program called ZuckNet, just for his family: Again from the New Yorker profile, Zuckerberg once built a program for his dad, Edward, who needed a quick messaging system for his dental office, and for the family home. It was, essentially, an early version of AOL’s Instant Messenger.
“The receptionist used it to ping Edward, and the kids used it to ping each other,” the report said.

 

Facebook depression” is a term that first started showing up around March of 2011 after studies linking depression and overuse of social networking sites were publicized. How real is Facebook depression, many parents wonder, and should we be worried? Are our kids safe? What about Facebook for kids?

Several groups report on the Facebook depression phenomenon, including the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP.) Follow-up studies have also replicated the findings: depressed teens are more likely to report excessive social networking use than their non-depressed peers.

What are some of the possible causes of Facebook depression? It could be any number of things: cyberbullying, feeling the need to collect more “friends” than everyone else, or a tendency of insecure teens to unfairly compare their real-life selves to the rosy online profiles of others.

Parents should proceed with caution as the AAP suggests, but should also remember that no studies have proved that Facebook use actually causes depression in teens. Only excessive use, not occasional or regular use, has been linked with depression. It could also be that depressed teens are simply more likely to withdraw into social networking sites, or that something about the Internet exacerbates the situation for teens who are already predisposed to depression.

Akitangaza kujiunzulu mbele ya waandishi wa habari mapema leo Jumamosi Januari 24, 2015

Aliyekuwa Waziri wa Nishati na madini, Prof. Sospeter Muhongo ametangaza kujiuzulu Wadhifa wake wa Uwaziri Katika mkutano wake wa waandishi wa habari aliouitisha hii leo. Profesa Muhongo ametangaza hatua hiyo leo asubuni alipokuwa akizungumza na waandishi wa habari makao makuu ya Wizara ya Nishati na Madini jijini Dar es Salaam.

Waziri huyo mtaalamu wa miamba, amejiuzulu kufuatia shinikizo la muda mrefu la kumtaka afanye hivyo au awajibishwe, kufuatia mapendekezo ya bunge lililopita, lililoiagiza Serikali kuchukua hatua dhidi ya viongozi wote na watendaji waliohusika na kashfa ya akaunti ya Tegeta Escrow iliyobainisha kiasi cha fedha bilioni 302 kuchotwa BOT zilipokuwa zikihifadhiwa.

Mwishoni mwa mwaka jana, 2014, Bunge la Tanzania lilitoka na maazimio ya kutaka kuwajibishwa kwa mawaziri Profesa Sospeter Muhongo, Profesa Anna Tibaijuka, Mwanasheria Mkuu wa Serikali Jaji Frederick Werema, kutokana na sakata la uchotaji wa fedha katika akaunti ya Tegeta Escrow, iliyokuwa Benki Kuu (BoT) kwa kutaka mamlaka ya uteuzi kutengua uteuzi wao. Mbali na hao, yumo Katibu Mkuu wa Wizara ya Nishati na Madini, Eliakim Maswi na Bodi ya Wakurugenzi ya Shirika la Umeme Tanzania (Tanesco).

Profesa Muhongo anakuwa ni kigogo wa nne kufuata mkumbo baada ya Waziri Profesa Anna Tibaijuka kufukuzwa nafasi yake na Rais, Mwanasheria Mkuu wa Serikali Jaji Frederick Werema kujiuzulu mwenyewe, huku Katibu Mkuu wa Wizara ya Nishati na Madini, Eliakim Maswi akisimamishwa na Bodi ya Wakurugenzi ya Shirika la Umeme Tanzania (Tanesco) kuvunjwa.

Katika hotuba ya mwisho ya Rais Jakaya Kikwete, siku alipotengua uwaziri wa Profesa Anna Tibaijuka alisema amemeweka kiporo Profesa sospeter Muhongo wakati uchunguzi zaidi wa kashfa hiyo ukifanywa.

===============

Mapema leo hii Waziri Muhongo alikuwa ameitisha mkutano na Waandishi wa habari.

Lemons have 70% of sugar and 30% of citric acid and that also means strawberries have 40% sugar and the rest is starch which is about 60%. I don't eat strawberries anymore because of that. They are healthy and delicious though. I actually think that I might change my mind about eating strawberries. They are healthy so no matter what makes it up it should still be healthy. Anyway, Yes lemons do have more sugar than strawberries even though it might not seem as though it does, but (believe me) it does. 

Left-handed people are known to be highly prone to some mental issues such as schizophrenia, a mental disorder affecting 1% of the world's population, characterized by impaired perception and severe behavioral shifts, or dyslexia (a neurological learning disability) in children, due to the asymmetry of the brain. They have been also found to have a lower biological fitness.

But a new research has shown that this situations has changed in recent decades, following a decrease of such cases at the beginning of the 20th century. Now, lefties make up about 11% of the population, but in the 1900, they only made up a 3 %. "Left-handedness is important because more than 10 percent of people have their brains organized in a qualitatively different way to other people. That has to be interesting. When the rate of a [variable trait] changes, then there have to be causes, and they are interesting as well.", said lead researcher Ian Christopher McManus of the University College London.

The team watched at a series of films done between 1897 and 1913 by early filmmakers Sagar Mitchell and James Kenyon. The researchers detected 391 arm-wavers in the old films and compared the percentages of lefties and righties from those movies to a "control group" of "wavers" from Google Images.

Only 15 % of those in the old films waved with their left hand, while the left-handed made up 24 % in the Google search. Comparing this data with that gathered from researches of handedness in writing, revealed that left-handed waving is more common than left-handed waving. "The earlier Victorian rates of left-handedness are broadly equivalent to modern rates, whereas rates then decline, with the lowest values for those born between about 1890 and 1910," said McManus.

The lefties in the Victorian films were typically older, discarding the hypothesis of higher rates of mortality among left-handed people. It is more likely that at the turn of the 20th century, with the emergence of the universal education and the industrial revolution, left-handedness proved a disadvantage people for learning to write, as left-handed people clumsily employed machines made for right-handers.

"That would have exacerbated the stigma that any visible minority can experience, and the result could have been that left-handers found it more difficult to find marriage partners, marrying later, and hence having fewer children so that fewer of the relevant genes went into the gene pool," McManus told LiveScience. "And we do have evidence that around the turn of the 20th century left-handers had fewer children than right-handers."

 

Worldwide, there are around 140 million births each year (down from 173 million in the late 1990s). That’s about 4 births every second.
The United States accounts for more than 4 million of those annual births.
Around the world, more babies are born during the month of August than any other month.  India and China have the most August newborns at 19.5% and 11.6% of babies born during August respectively. That’s 6 and 4 times more than we have in the United States during August; however, it still remains our highest birth month. In general, more babies arrive in late summer and early fall than any other time of year, but the most recent data puts August at the top of the list.

If you do the math and count nine months back from August, you’ll land at November. It is starting to get colder and the holiday season is in full swing. One school of thought believes these factors explain why August is such a popular birth month. Others believe it comes down to planning. There are people who try to plan their childbirth to coincide with summer vacations and lighter summer work schedules.
In contrast, the month of February has the lowest birth rate.
If you ask Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point, he outlines in another best selling book, Outliers, why January and February may be the most beneficial month for your baby to be born.
Apparently, if you look at professional Hockey and Soccer players, 67% of them are born in January or February. He believes this is not a coincidence, because of age/date cutoffs, players born in these months get an extra 6 months experience compared to the other kids in the same age group, giving them a huge advantage. This advantage is most beneficial at an earlier age when the kids are streamed into more and less advanced leagues.
At a young age, 6 months development makes a big difference, giving the slightly older kids more coaching and more opportunity to develop higher level skills. This cycle repeats itself each year, raising the slightly older kids with years of better opportunities to improve.
More interesting facts:

1. Wednesday has more births than any other day of the week.
2. Sunday has the fewest births.
3. With 21 babies born for every 1,000 people, Utah continues to have the highest birth rate in the United States.
4. The State of Virginia has the lowest birth rate with 10 babies born for every 1,000 people.
5. Congo has the highest birth rate of any country at 49.6 births per 1,000 people.
6. Hong Kong and Macau are tied for the lowest birth rate at 7.6 / 1,000 people.
