Finally the technology developed by NASA for space years before is being used to prevent the pandemic Swine flu throughout the world.

Developed for growing plants in space and buliding large-space based green houses for growing fresh food, is now used in killing anthrax and swine flu

AiroCide created by NASA years back is being used to protect hospitals and other buildings from harmful micro organisms. First developed as Bio-KES which was used by grocers and florists to remove ethylene and thus extend life of fruits, vegetables and flowers.

AiroCide consists of ultra-thin TiO2 layers which when exposed to ultraviolet light forms OH- radicals, these radicals disrupt organic compounds, hence micro organisms get destroyed. Even though some escapes, they get exposed to high energy Ultraviolet photons one such photon is enough to kill a spore.

Due to pandemic "Swine flu", AiroCide is being marketed in India by Great White Technology and its already being sold.

Well, i had this question in my mind for a long time... i used to have single password for my few accounts that i had in my school days.. that was the days i used to have account only in yahoo !. Now it had grown to a hundreds of accounts :).Safeguarding  your account in your side by having a good password is important more than creating it. The rules i follow are:

• Don't keep your password related to your personal details such birthdays, nick names etc that are publicly available.

• Have password somewhat lengthy and have numbers and special characters in it.
• The important is to create a hierarchy levels in your accounts that you have and have multiple passwords in these levels.. this is because though you have a highly strong password "A12egRFv" , if the website has been compromised no use, all the accounts having the same password will be compromised.  Have a level like this

Level 1. Gmail, Yahoo, orkut, Hotmail, Twitter Level 2.Blogspot, wordpress, Facebook Level 3.Tagged, Hi5 ................. etc

• Never hesitate to add secondary email address in all accounts. It will save you a lot!.
• Check out how strong is your password and read the guidelines listed here - "how to create strong passwords".

Every time , a week or so, new gmail lab features are being updated ...... and now undoing sent mail. you can right now enable "undo send" feature in Labs present in the settings tab of Gmail.If you forgot to attach a document while applying to university,company... google gives a chance !!. Remember ! it allows you to undo within five seconds !, after that you can't undo it. see the picture .. Learn more about gmail features & labs at http://gmailblog.blogspot.com. Google's services are so simple yet effective and ever wanted by users.. I remember there was limited signed-in users in gmail and that too by invitation during there their initial testing of gmail, i luckily got an invite from my friend during my XII standard.Google rocks !.

I remember a incident that happened few years ago ,especially i want to write today(Women's Day).This happened in my first year, i joined NITT. I got a friend , we had a problem and didn't talk a year.. this year we talked somehow. I remember him messaging continuously to a girl studying in a college located around ours in 1st year. Its not a simple chat , she calls him "chellam"....... I dont involve in other's personal matter ,i remembered him showing message to me.When i asked him , he said 'we love'. i laughed and had a bet . I dont remember how much money i challenged, but knew what i said' it won't till last atleast until i finish my graduation'.this year i found the same, but some thing unexpected happened. She refused for some reasons .that girl's number was got by my enemy(ref:Experience no:1):) from my friend's mobile without the permission of my friend. That guy sent to his like-minded evil friends and abused her ,that you can imagine how much bad as you want to extent that she changed the number and cried to my friend. My friend doesn't knew these and felt bad. If i had knew this thing before i would have said them the ways to find and complain . But not too late, i knew many people in this world don't know these things i stated below.sometimes god have to save people like them to balance the world(ecosystem point of view):).
Assuming that girl's wont do these type of activities , i use 'him' ,'he'.
Ways:
If you get a missed call or message from anonymous number and you feel suspicious due to message content or something else.
1.Keep the message safe. it might help later.
2.find the cell phone operator of the sender by using the phone number,i think most of us knew ,for e.g 9840 -airtel, 9444-bsnl 9884-Vodaphone ..etc. if not there is a website narrow down which tells the about the SIM's purchase location.
Note:This tells about the purchase location of the SIM , the person might be located some where else now.
3.You can still narrow down using the Message Center Number(MCN), if you feel that the person who sent the message can be the person who knew you.If you really think or assume , that doesn't matter but we can somewhat still more narrow down if you assume.
4.Find the message center number from that message. If you want to know what is message center number http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_message_service_technical_realisation_(GSM), find here.now correlate.
assuming the person is from thuvakudi(trichy).you would have got some friends messages sent from same location (from where you assume the person has sent the message).this is the main criteria to assume:). find whether the both MCN's match. That's it , you have found the location,(i.e)the location of the anonymous person is same as the location of the other.Remember that this is the method for finding the person from whom you didn't get any bad or abusive message.
5.But still you can't particularly find the person, If the message or call is abusive , there is an forceful way, no more hidden way
Go to http://www.trai.gov.in/serviceproviderslist.asp , find your network operator download the appropriate pdf ,get the nodal office phone number, call them give a legal complaint and that's it, you got him.
6.I have contacted them and found that you can get that person's identity only if you give a legal complaint , because they say that they can't reveal other customer's identity , ah what a answer!.

Why to keep only the mobile numbers private ? then why NDNC registry came ?. then why Landline numbers are kept public ? - directory. Aren't they too customers?.
I made a request to them to keep mobile numbers public .. I want others to request them too to prevent any unlawful activities. To request go to Telecom Regulatory Association of India (TRAI) website and click Feedback link present in the left side of the Website.

Thank you.
Happy Women's Day !
