Surprisingly, yet again we have come to the end of another year. Now that, we are slowly approaching towards the end of 2011, we realize the accomplishments, failure, happiness and grievances during the year. It seems that the year went by pretty fast.

So, that we are now heading towards a new year, we must be having some new plans, aspirations and dreams as well. Things that we could not achieve in the past, things that we always wanted to achieve, something new, something out of the box. Some great person once said, “If you want your dreams to come true, you need to wake up.”

We all have dreams regarding something or the other; a future position, a future goal that we’d like to achieve. It’s important to be realistic while aiming what we would like to achieve and at the same time its important to plan and execute the same. As we all know that, “It’s a good idea to implement a good idea.” On this note let us all unite in making this New Year a prosperous one, through spreading happiness and love. May this New Year bring many opportunities to your way, to explore every joy of life & may your resolutions for the days ahead stay firm, turning all your dreams into reality and all your efforts into great achievements. Happy New Year to you and your loved ones.

Follow these simple steps:

• Right Click on the Icon of that file/folder
• Or Select the file and press F2
• You get the cursor to type the name
• Press Alt key [plus] 0160 i.e.  Alt 0160
• Press Enter
  
• You get the file or folder without any name.

The Reason for this is that when you type Alt + 0160 the file is named as with a blank space. When you need two folder/files without name. Keeping Alt pressed type 0160 twice – it will be renamed with two blank spaces.

Giving a vivid display of the whole thing is not possible but we can try that at least next time when you buy a PC/Laptop you won’t have stand dumb while the salesman keeps speaking words like LED, LCD, CRT, NED and TFT.

Well, what are they?

Cathode Ray Tube (CRT), the technology used in most televisions and computer display screens. A CRT works by moving an electron beam back and forth across the back of the screen. Each time the beam makes a pass across the screen, it lights up phosphor dots on the inside of the glass tube, thereby illuminating the active portions of the screen. By drawing many such lines from the top to the bottom of the screen, it creates an entire screen full of images.

Nano Emissive Display (NED) is the technology that enables manufacturers to design large flat panel displays that exceed the image quality characteristics of plasma and LCD screens at a lower cost. Instead of using either one cathode ray tube (CRT) or millions of tiny LED lights to project a video image, NED uses millions of accelerated electrons charged by just 5 to 10 volts of electricity, compared with 5,000 volts for large-screen, high-definition LCDs. The electrons shoot toward a phosphor plate, creating the moving image. This technique requires less voltage than a CRT. These can be found as large screens in shows and functions which are used as background on the stage.

Thin Film Transistor (TFT), a type of LCD flat-panel display screen, in which each pixel is controlled by from one to four transistors. The TFT technology provides the best resolution of all the flat-panel techniques, but it is also the most expensive. TFT screens are sometimes called active-matrix LCDs.

Basic difference between LCDs and LEDs:

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD): LCD displays utilize two sheets of polarizing material with a liquid crystal solution between them. An electric current passed through the liquid causes the crystals to align so that light cannot pass through them. Each crystal, therefore, is like a shutter, either allowing light to pass through or blocking the light. This shutter along with the others provides the color which you want.

Light Emitting Diode (LED), an electronic device that lights up when electricity is passed through it. LEDs are usually red. They are good for displaying images because they can be relatively small, and they do not burn out. However, they require more power than LCDs. It consists of tiny bulbs which emit light and these bulbs give a more realistic display as compared to others. It is more power consuming. Local dimming LED display consumes more power than LCD display. Therefore, the tradeoff seems to be between economizing your energy bill and better picture quality. But the edge lit LED displays use less power than an LCD of the same size. Sony, Samsung and Philips have launched LED display models. Similar to LCD monitors, LED screens do not have screen burn-in problem, and are therefore, suitable for computer use.

The LED gives a more a realistic color as compared to LCD. See below:

Various stimulants and their impact on our health.

Coffee: Effect of caffeine in body will be as harmful as any drug in the long run. It’s an stimulant to the human brain and nervous system and stimulates the flow of gastric juices which weakens the ability of the system to secrete digestive juices. Tea: It contains tannic acid which is used in tanning of leather. This will tan the digestive tract and impair the normal secretion of digestive juices and their reaction on food leading to indigestion.

Cocoa: It contains theobromine which has been found to cause cardiac ailments, nervous disorders, chronic headache. Soft drinks: Aerated drinks should not be taken in excess as it creates acidity. These drinks are habitforming and can become an addiction if taken regularly causing much damage to our system in the long run. If they stop taking their daily dose, they tend to experience withdrawal symptoms like severe headache.

Effects

Ulcer and gastric problems. Irregular heart beat leading to risk of heart disease. Raises the blood pressure. Creates hyper acidity. High blood sugar. Risk of cancer. May increase reproductive loss if taken in high levels by women. Rich and creamy coffee contains hydrogenated coconut oil which is bad for health. Kills appetite. Restlessness, nervousness, irritability and sleeplessness.

Substitute

The best stimulant for a sagging spirit is sufficient rest, proper mental make up and determination. A plain cup of cold water and a cold wash all over or at least the face and the head may give you the needed freshening up.
