Beware of the Atheist Bus!

Yes, this is true! Beware of the Atheist bus! Why? Atheists are now advertising on buses in United Kingdom. Pictures of those buses can be seen on flickr. There is a message that says, “THERE’S PROBABLY NO GOD. NOW STOP WORRYING AND ENJOY YOUR LIFE.” See the picture after the jump.

History of the Internet | How Did the Internet Began

Most of I.T. students are assigned to look and search for this topic, especially during their first year in college. Commonly, students will go to their school library and start reading different kinds of books about that topic. But, what if you just prepare a video and let the class watch it, instead of reading a book and copying what is in it? Yup, I have here a video discussing every single detail about the history of the Internet. This video will answer your biggest question, how did the Internet began? Watch the video after the jump.

Are you still going to search on books?

Is Internet a Threat to Wildlife?

Is the Internet hastening the demise of the wild animals? Hmm. Some animal welfare advocates believe that it is and that scores of other species are also at risk. At this time, illegal online trade is said to have increased as the Web itself has grown. Searches on English-language Web sites during a three-month period found "more than 6,000 illegal or potentially illegal wildlife items for sale," including turtle shells, elephant-bone sculptures, and even live black leopards.



What can we do to protect them?

Why Some People Are Suffering Online?

Online community Web sites allow people to establish relationships with a number of strangers via the Internet and reportedly to feel more popular. Such sites are also “a paradise for liars,” racists, busybodies, and the prejudiced, says Folha Online. Some site users fake their own profiles. Others bully those who are overweight, are short, have frizzy hair, and so on, causing them great emotional pain. According to Brazilian psychologist Ivelise Fortim, this occurs because “what happens on [Web sites] is more important to the victims than what happens in daily life."



Are you suffering from those too?

Britney Spears Feat. Joanna Pacitti - Out From Under

Lyrics:
Out From Under Lyrics

Breathe you out
Breathe you in
You keep coming back to tell me
you’re the one who could have been
and my eyes see it all so clear
It was long ago and far away but it never disappears
I try to put it in the past
Hold on to myself and don’t look back

I don’t wanna dream about
All the things that never were
Maybe I can live without
When I’m out from under
I don’t wanna feel the pain
What good would it do me now
I’ll get it all figured out
When I’m out from under

So let me go
Just let me fly away
Let me feel the space between us growing deeper
And much darker every day
Watch me now and I’ll be someone new
My heart will be unbroken
It will open up for everyone but you
Even when I cross the line
It's like a lie I’ve told a thousand times

I don’t wanna dream about
All the things that never were
Maybe I can live without
When I’m out from under
I don’t wanna feel the pain
What good would it do me now
I’ll get it all figured out
When I’m out from under

[Out From Under lyrics on http://lyricsmusicvideo.blogspot.com ]
And part of me still believes
When you ay you’re gonna stick around
And part of me still believes
We can find a way to work it out
But I know that we tried everything we could try
So let's just say goodbye
Forever

I don’t wanna dream about
All the things that never were
Maybe I can live without
When I’m out from under
I don’t wanna feel the pain
What good would it do me now
I’ll get it all figured out
When I’m out from under

I don’t wanna dream about
All the things that never were
Maybe I can live without
When I’m out from under
I don’t wanna feel the pain
What good would it do me now
I’ll get it all figured out
When I’m out from under
When I'm out from under

GeoEye-1: Can You Locate Yourself In These Inauguration Photos?

Here are some so-called "Satelite Photos" of the President Barack Obama Inauguration Day on January 20, 2008. (Click here to watch Barack Obama Inauguration Speech Video replay online.) These people are really like ants! Whew! This is so great! This is produced by GeoEye-1. What is it?

GeoEye-1, the satellite that will supply Google with high-resolution imagery of the Earth, took a high-resolution photograph of the inauguration of President Barack Obama.

The satellite is expected to start producing data for Google in coming weeks, but in the meantime, this shot shows a bit more tantalizing detail about what will show in Google Earth and Google Maps. It was taken from 423 miles up as the 4,300-pound satellite traveled 17,000 miles per hour.

Can you locate yourself in these Inauguration photos?

Keeling Curve Data For CO2 Definiton

Keeling Curve Data For CO2 Definiton - The Keeling Curve is a data graph that shows the variation in concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) since the year 1958. This is based on continuous measurements taken at an observatory named Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii. That obserbatory is under the supervision of a man who is Charles David Keeling. Keeling's measurements showed the first significant evidence of rapidly increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Lots of scientists credit Keeling's graph with first bringing the world's attention to the effects that human activity were having on the Earth's atmosphere and climate.

Parenting Tips: What Is Your Child Doing Online?

Imagine your child wandering the streets alone at night.

Imagine your teen organizing a party in your home that you know nothing about.

Imagine your son or daughter making copies of the keys to your house and distributing these to total strangers.


If your child has access to the Internet, the above situations may not be as far-fetched as they seem. The Internet provides an unprecedented number and variety of meeting places, from message boards to instant messaging to so-called social networking sites, a news magazine said.

Nowadays, young people have quickly adjusted to life online. For example, in 2004 nearly 9 of every 10 people in the United States between the ages of 12 and 17 used the Internet, which is accessible in virtually every corner of the globe.

Yup, few people would deny the usefulness of the Internet. But no one should be oblivious to the dangers it poses. For instance, many youths are wandering alone in the online neighborhood, and some are creating social networks with people whom you—and even your child—would never invite into the home.

Some naive young ones even post inappropriately personal details, thoughts, and images on the Internet. According to a proffesor, youths “often don’t realize how many people have access to that information, including sexual predators.”

Let us take a closer look at what many young people are doing online. This will enable us to see potential problems, to determine just what our children are looking for, and to see how we can help them satisfy their legitimate needs.

Just a simple reminder for all of us...

Myringotomy Tubes Placement, Insertion Procedure, Complication and Video

Below is a video about myringotomy tubes placement procedure and insertion. What is that?

Ehem! Myringotomy tubes are small tubes that are inserted into your child's eardrum by an ear, nose and throat surgeon, surgically. Following the right procedure, the tubes placement helps drain the fluid out of the middle ear in order to reduce the risk of ear infections. During an ear infection, fluid are gathered in the middle ear, this may affect the hearing of your child. Sometimes, even after the complication is gone, some fluid may remain inside the ear. The myringotomy tubes help drain this fluid and prevent it from building up there. From 1 to 3 years old are the most common ages. By the age of 5 years, most children have wider and longer Eustachian tubes (a canal that links the middle ear with the throat area), thus, allowing better drainage of fluids from the ear.

So, how are ear tubes inserted?

Myringotomy is the surgical procedure that is performed to insert ear tubes. Insertion of the tubes is usually an outpatient procedure. This means that your child will have surgery, and then go home that same day. Before the surgery, you will meet with different members of the healthcare team who will be involved in your child's care. These may include:

* nurses - day surgery nurses prepare your child for surgery. Operating room nurses assist the physicians during surgery. Recovery room (also called the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit) nurses care for your child as he/she emerges from general anesthesia.

* surgeon - a physician who specializes in the placement of the tubes.

* anesthesiologist - a medical physician with specialized training in anesthesia. He/she will perform a history and physical examination and formulate a plan of anesthesia for your child. The plan will be discussed with you and your questions will be answered. Insertion of myringotomy tubes requires general anesthesia in children. Here is a video on how the myringotomy tube is inserted.

Do You Want a Portuguese Water Dog? | Photos, Breeds, Cost and Price

Do you want to have a Portuguese Water Dog? Or, are you looking for its costs or price and breeds? And maybe, you are searching for some of its photos too.

Well, this is the right place for you! I got a lot of information about a Portuguese Water Dog that will fill your needs. All you need to do is to read through the article or bookmark this page, or just take some notes so you wont forget those things! Hehehe.

Portuguese Water Dog:

A Portuguese Water Dog is a working dog that is bred to work off the fishing boats of Portugal, of course! As you may see in the picture below, it looks like a fluff ball, but a very good swimmer.

List of works done by a Portuguese Water Dog:
* taking out fishing nets
* couriering messages between boats
* herding fish
* moving buoys in the water
* guarding the boat against seals who were trying to steal fish from the boats

Also, this breed were intelligent and very friendly. They are loyal to their owners and can be your guardian, but still you need to take care of your socks! LOL!

How much do they cost? According to a Portuguese Water Dog website:
"Prices will normally start at about $1400 US. However, be warned - do your research well. $1400 can buy you a great dog. $1400 can also buy you a not so great dog. Don't expect to pay less for a "pet" than you would a "show" puppy. Both cost the same to raise, and both should have fabulous temperaments.

In any case, most breeders will not let you breed from your pup, unless you follow strict terms and conditions. This is to protect the integrity of the breed. After all, we don't want the PWD dropping in quality like so many of the other breeds around the world, because of indiscriminate and uneducated breeding."

Did you get it? Hehehe. This thing is so expensive, you know! So better consider things first, your pocket!

Here are some photos of it:










Ok, Thats all! Thanks to you!
