Amdavadi rickshaw puller Rohit Upadhyay will, on October 1, donate blood for the 100th time - making him the first rickshaw driver in the city to accomplish this record.
Upadhyay will join the club of centurion blood donors on the All India Voluntary Blood Donation Day this Friday, when he will make his 100th donation.
He will also be the 66th member of the Ahmedabad Red Cross Centurion Blood Donors' Club.
Ironically though, when this man had donated blood for the first time, it was because he wanted to commit suicide and he thought the donation would take his life!
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to address public in London

(AP) The founder of WikiLeaks, the controversial online organization set up to reveal government secrets, will address the public for the first time on Thursday since Swedish prosecutors began investigating allegations of sexual misconduct against him.
The rape and molestation allegations against Julian Assange have cast a shadow over WikiLeaks at a time when the website is already under pressure for publishing a huge cache of leaked documents about US military activity in Afghanistan.
Assange's appearance at London's City University later Thursday also comes amid reports that WikiLeaks is unraveling from internal turmoil and power struggles. Key staffers at the website have reportedly deserted the organization out of anger that Assange unilaterally decided to publish tens of thousands of classified documents before enough work was done to protect the names of informants.

(PTI) A powerful magnetic field can temporarily confuse the brain and alter our hand preference, a new study has found.
In an extraordinary experiment by researchers at the University of California found that volunteers' hand choices were changed when they were subjected to a powerful magnetic field.
Although the effects lasted till the magnet was switched on, the study threw light on the origin of hand choice in the brain, the researchers said.
It also highlighted that how it is easy to change people's behaviour with magnets, they added.
Dr Flavio Oliveira, who led the study, said: "We are not really looking at handedness, but at hand choice. We found that in situations where people are almost equally likely to use their left or right hand we can make them use their left hand more by stimulating this part of the brain."

Previously on June 24, 2008, China had also set a world record with the Beijing-Tianjin high-speed train reaching a max speed of 394.3 km per hour.
Now, again a high-speed train in China has set a new world speed record during a trial run.
The train touched a maximum speed of 416.6 km per hour on its journey on Tuesday between Shanghai and Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang province, Xinhua reported.
The train is designed to run at a speed of 350 km per hour on the 202-km-long track between the two cities. A one-way journey previously took two hours. But the new train would lessen that to around 40 minutes, officials said.

(AFP) Growing up near the air force base in Dayton, Ohio, Mr Tejdeep Singh Rattan, knew he wanted to serve in uniform. When he was turned away the third time from serving in the military, Mr Rattan became suspicious.
“I was, like, I don’t know what’s going on,” he said. “I was very introverted at the time. But I said I really want to do this, and you guys are sending me out again and again.”
The 31-year-old is now US Army Captain Rattan and since July the head dentist at the Fort Drum base in New York. In what appears to be a quiet shift, the US military has allowed Mr Rattan and two other Sikhs to serve while retaining their turbans and beards, which are required by their faith.

(IANS) Researchers discovered that such people are more likely to have a genetic variant that protects them from tuberculosis and leprosy.
They analysed DNA samples from populations across Europe, Asia and Africa and compared rates of genetic disease resistance with urban history.
Poor sanitation and heavy population densities provided an ideal breeding ground for infections in built-up areas in previous generations, reports the journal Evolution.
Past exposure to pathogens led to disease resistance spreading through populations because ancestors passed it on to their descendants, a Daily Mail report quoting scientists, said.

In popular perception it is better to eat little meals more often.
However, lead researcher Heather Leidy, now at the University of Missouri in Columbia, US, said: "These mini-meals everyone is talking about don't seem to be as beneficial as far as appetite control."
Studies on whether eating frequency affects appetite control have had "conflicting" results, according to the journal Obesity.

Scattered across the country, the automated stores are about as ubiquitous as traffic lights and offer an ever-widening, dizzying palette of goods.
Thanks to Japan's low crime rate, companies have placed them everywhere, from neon-lit city centres to the icy summit of Mount Fuji, with little risk of them being burgled and relieved of their rich coin vaults.
“They are so convenient, I wish I had one in my room,” said 18-year-old Tokyo resident Hibiki Miura, who like many Japanese finds it hard to imagine modern civilisation without the handy helpers.

(NDTV) A user trial of the nuclear weapons capable, surface-to-surface Prithvi-II ballistic missile in Orissa ended in an embarrassing failure as the missile failed to take off.
The nine metre-long, single stage liquid propelled missile with a maximum range of 350 kilometres was fired from a mobile launcher at 10.03 am from the Interim Test Range at Chandipur-on-sea. Sources in the Defence Research and Development Organisation confirmed the failure and said the missile just did not launch while the launchpad was enveloped in smoke.
There was no clear word on what caused the failure. The test was being conducted by the Strategic Forces Command.
The missile was last tested on June 18 this year, but for a shorter range of 150 kms.

The man responsible for connecting over 500 million people across the world through social networking site Facebook could easily pass off as an ordinary 26-year-old.
The Sun Friday reported that Zuckerberg, who is said to be worth 4.3 million pounds, he wears jeans, cheap T-shirt and flip-flops.
In fact, he does not own the four-bedroom house where he lives in Palo Alto, California. He pays a relatively modest 3,500 pounds a month as rent. He doesn't even have a posh sports car, instead driving a Japanese saloon.

(CNN) Google had come with new tool which tell the user that which country had suppressed or requested for the censorship. The tool called Google Transparency, the online report shows that internet censorship around the world is increasing over time, and not always in the countries you'd expect, said Dorothy Chou, a Google policy analyst who worked on the project.
"The threat to internet freedom has actually been growing over the past few years," she said, noting that the United States generally bucks that trend by supporting open online communication.
Google Transparency includes an interactive map where users can see how many requests countries have made for Google to block or remove content.
This online tool also lets users explore internet up-time in specific countries for specific Google-owned websites.

But, she wrote, Facebook is not building a phone.
Here is more of her e-mail:
Our approach has always been to make phones and apps more social. Current projects include everything from an HTML5 version of the site to apps on major platforms to full Connect support with SDKs to deeper integrations with some manufacturers. Our view is that almost all experiences would be better if they were social, so integrating deeply into existing platforms and operating systems is a good way to enable this. For an example, check out Connect for iPhone and the integration we have with contact syncing through our iPhone app. Another example is the INQ1 phone with Facebook integration (the first so-called Facebook Phone ). The people mentioned in the story are working on these projects. The bottom line is that whenever we work on a deep integration, people want to call it a Facebook Phone because that s such an attractive soundbite, but building phones is just not what we do.

(IANS)Recent research show how water helps the skin to be healthy.
Doctors and nutritionists agree that drinking at least eight glasses of water daily helps maintain a clear, youthful complexion. They are agreed that oodles of water will "flush out" our systems, banish spots, plump out wrinkles and moisturise our skin.
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, female volunteers were told to drink one-and-half litres of water daily for eight weeks without changing their lifestyle, reports the Daily Mail.
Some drank ordinary tap water. Others drank Willow Water, a natural mineral water sourced in the Lake district in Britain. The latter contains salicin, a derivative of willow bark which, when metabolised, turns into salicylic acid, a compound found in a number of skin products, known for its anti-inflammatory properties and acts in the same way as aspirin.

Scientists at Zeltiq in California have developed a device that freezes body flab to remove extra content from your body.
Known as CoolSculpting device, it is being promoted as a painless alternative to liposuction, features a gel patch that clamps on to flabby parts and freezes fat cells.
It works by killing the fat cells at sub-zero temperatures , which are re-absorbed and flushed away by the body over the next few months, leaving the patient trimmer.
They realised that although fat freezes at a lower temperature than other types of tissue, skin and muscles can survive sub-zero temperatures without suffering lasting damage.

(PTI) USA is going crazy in its Outsourcing policies. In another protectionist measure primarily aimed at China, the US House of Representatives passed two different bills that mandate the Congress and the Department of Homeland Security to purchase only US-made goods.
The Congressional Made in America Act, introduced by Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur, requires the Congress to buy goods and services made in America for the first time in nearly seven decades.
Similarly, the Berry Amendment Extension Act, introduced by Congressman Larry Kissell directed the Department of Homeland Security to buy clothing, tents, and other products made in America.
“These two bills, unanimously passed by the House, will help in creating American jobs and expanding America's manufacturing sector,” said Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the US House of Representatives.

(CNN)Vladimir Skulachyov, a bioenergetics professor in Moscow, 40 year's research on Anti-Aging is almost complete. He says that this research was his life work.
The treatment is based on how oxygen reacts in the body and says the difficult part has been to try and prevent side effects.
If the wonder drug lives up to its promise, the implications could be huge in preventing ageing and increasing the prospect of a longer and better quality of life.
"99% of the time oxygen turns into harmless water, but there's that one per cent that turns into a super-oxide that later turns into very poisonous elements," said Skulachyov.

(Reuters) Children aged four and under who get less than 10 hours of sleep a night are nearly twice as likely to be overweight or obese five years later, according to a US study.
Researchers from the University of California and University of Washington in Seattle looked at the relationship between sleep and weight in 1,930 children aged 0 to 13 years old who took part in a survey in 1997 and again five years later in 2002.
For children who were four years old or younger at the time of the first survey, sleeping for less than 10 hours a night was associated with nearly a twofold increased risk of being overweight or obese at the second survey.
For older children, sleep time at the first survey was not associated with weight status at the second survey but current short sleep time was associated with increased odds of a shift from normal weight to overweight status or from overweight or obese status at follow up. Dr Janice F Bell from the University of Washington said this study suggested that early childhood could be a "critical window" when nighttime sleep helps determine a child's future weight status.

(IANS) Facebook is used mostly by narcissists and those with low self-esteem, says a Canadian study.
These type of people use Facebook as a self-promotional tool, says psychology researcher Soraya Mehdizadeh of York University.
Mehdizadeh, who extensively examined the online habits and personalities of 100 Facebook users aged 18 to 25 years old, found that individuals higher in narcissism and lower in self-esteem spent more time on the site and filled their pages with more self-promotional content.
"We all know people like this. They are updating their status every five minutes and the photos they post are very carefully construed," she says.

Light micrograph of a fibre optics cable
A Team of Scientists funded by EU have shown off a system they say could "substantially" improve the data capacity of fibre optic networks.
The new experiment showed that the new improved system would eliminate most of the interference caused by other signals and amplifiers, in an analogue of "auto-tune" software and the good thing is that it can be plugged directly into existing networks.
The prototype device makes use of advances both in optical fibre technology and in lasers, which are used to "lock on" to the signal and distinguish it from noise.

Scientists at the Novartis Institute for Tropical Diseases (NITD), achieved the above feat in collaboration with researchers from the Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation (GNF), the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute and The Scripps Research Institute.
The findings demonstrate that the antimalarial candidate, spiroindolone NITD609, is effective against both strains of the malaria parasite, Plasmodium (P.) falciparum and P. vivax.
Through a novel mechanism NITD609 rapidly clears plasmodium in a malaria mouse model and shows pharmacological properties compatible with a once-daily dosing regimen.

The ATK booster, developed as part of Nasa's Constellation project, is a development of the solid rocket motors used to lift the space shuttle off the launch pad.
President Obama cancelled the Constellation project in February, but there is still a strong chance that the ATK booster could play a part in future Nasa launch vehicles.
Nasa's Alex Priskos said the data gathered from the test was "absolutely excellent", giving "the chamber pressures and the thrust pressures that we were expecting".
