1)  Sugar Hyperactivity The Myth: Sugar makes kids hyperactive Dr. Vreeman and Dr. Carroll, both pediatricians at the Riley Hospital for Children recently said: “in at least 12 double-blinded, randomized, controlled trials, scientists have examined how children react to diets containing different levels of sugar. None of these studies, not even studies looking specifically at children with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, could detect any differences in behavior between the children who had sugar and those who did not.” This includes artificial and natural sources of sugar. Interestingly, in the study, parents who were told their children had been given sugar when they hadn’t, noted that the child was more hyperactive. So it seems it is all in the parent’s mind 2) Body Heat The Myth: You lose most of your body heat through your head A military study many years ago tested the loss of temperature in soldiers when exposed to very cold temperatures. They found...

VENICE Among those who've seen it in person, the conclusion is unanimous: Venice is the most beautiful city in the world, and the only one that can truly be described as unique. Each building is a work of art, with their beauty enhanced when reflected on the canals that cross the city. Its magical scenery is fascinating and breathtaking at first sight, evoking the feeling of entering the setting of a real-life fairy tale. It's perhaps even unfair to all other cities to call Venice a city, as it is a place unlike any other, which no other can compare to, or ever be like PARIS The Seine and the bridges that cross it, the grand boulevards, the monumental squares, the magnificent monuments, the charming streets of Montmartre -- these images of Paris confirm that it is indeed the most elegant and sophisticated of all cities. It has inspired practically every major world capital, with every city claiming its own Champs-Elysèes, and Place des Vosges becoming the prototype...

Federation International The Football Association The success of the Olympic Football Tournament intensified FlFA's wish for its own world championship. Questionnaires were sent to the affiliated associations, asking whether they agreed to the organization of a tournament and under what conditions. A special committee examined the question, with President Jules Rimet the driving force. He was aided by the untiring Secretary of the French Football Federation, Henri Delaunay. Following a remarkable proposal by the Executive Committee, the FIFA Congress in Amsterdam on 28 May 1928 decided to stage a world championship organized by FIFA. Now, the organizing country had to be chosen. Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden submitted their candidatures. Right from the start, Uruguay was the favorite and not simply for its Olympic gold medal wins in 1924 and 1928 - the country was celebrating its 100th anniversary of independence in 1930 at great expense. Moreover, it...

This is interesting. After reading this, you’ll never look at a banana in the same way again. Bananas contain three natural sugars – sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world’s leading athletes. But energy isn’t the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet. DEPRESSION According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier. PMS: Forget the pills – eat a bana...

Reverse Osmosis Anyone who has been through a high school science class will likely be familiar with the term osmosis . The process was first described by a French Scientist in 1748, who noted that water spontaneously diffused through a pig bladder membrane into alcohol. Over 200 years later, a modification of this process known as reverse osmosis allows people throughout the world to affordably convert undesirable water into water that is virtually free of health or aesthetic contaminants. Reverse osmosis systems can be found providing treated water from the kitchen counter in a private residence to installations used in manned spacecraft. Reverse Osmosis is a technology that is found virtually anywhere pure water is needed; common uses include:  ·          Drinking Water  ·          Humidification  ·          Ice-Making  · ...

Unusual process in  plastics Calender: To prepare sheets of material by applying pressure between two or more counter rotating rolls. Also the machine performing this process. Centrifugal Casting: A method of forming thermoplastic resins in which the granular resin is placed in a  rota-table  container, heated to a molten condition by the transfer of heat through the walls of the container, and rotated so that centrifugal force included will force the molten resin to conform to the configuration of the interior surface of the container.it is used to fabricated large diameter pipes and similar cylindrical items. Cold molding: Procedure in which a composition is shaped at room temperature and cured by subsequent baking. Drawing: The process of stretching a thermoplastic to reduce its cross sectional area, thus creating an orderly orientation of polymer chains with respect to each other. Embossing: Technique used to create depression of a sp...
