History of MORINGA OLEIFERA (Murunga kirai)

Facts on Farts

The gas in our intestine comes from several sources : air we swallow, gap seeping into intestines from blood, gas produced by chemical reaction in our guts and gas produced by bacteria that living in our guts. The composition of fart gas is highly variable. Most of the gas especially oxygen, is trapped by body before it gets into intestine. By the time gas reaches the intestines , most of the nitrogen is left in large intestine. Moreover, the chemical reaction between stomach acid and intestinal fluids may produce hydrogen gas, which is also being a product of bacteria action. Bacteria is also produce hydrogen and methane.

The longer a fart is held in, larger the proportion of inert nitrogen because the other gases tend to be absorbed into bloodstream through the wall of intestine. A nervous person who swallow a lot of air and who moves stuff through his digestive system rapidly may have a lots of oxygen in his/her farts because his body didn't have time to absorbs the oxygen.

If both parents are methane producers , their children have a 95 percent chance of being producers as well. Some researchers suspect a genetic influence, whereas others think the ability is due to environmental factors. However, all methane gas comes from bacteria and not form body cells.

NASA's Juno Spacecraft Launches to Jupiter - 05.08.11

NASA's solar-powered Juno spacecraft lifted off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida at 9:25 a.m. PDT (12:25 p.m. EDT) Friday to begin a five-year journey to Jupiter.
Juno's detailed study of the largest planet in our solar system will help reveal Jupiter's origin and evolution. As the archetype of giant gas planets, Jupiter can help scientists understand the origin of our solar system and learn more about planetary systems around other stars.

Juno will cover the distance from Earth to the moon (about 250,000 miles or 402,336 kilometers) in less than one day's time. It will take another five years and 1,740 million miles (2,800 million kilometers) to complete the journey to Jupiter. The spacecraft will orbit the planet's poles 33 times and use its collection of eight science instruments to probe beneath the gas giant's obscuring cloud cover to learn more about its origins, structure, atmosphere and magnetosphere, and look for a potential solid planetary core.

With four large moons and many smaller moons, Jupiter forms its own miniature solar system. Its composition resembles that of a star, and if it had been about 80 times more massive, the planet could have become a star instead.

Sultan Kösen - Tallest man in 2011

The 2010 edition of Guinness Book of World Records lists Sultan Kosen (born 10 December 1982) as the tallest living man as well as having the largest hands (11.22 inches) (28.5 centimeters) and largest feet (14.4 inches) (36.5 centimeters) when last measured on 8 February 2011.

According to Guinness, Sultan Kosen is the tallest living human reaching an average height of 8'1" (2,46.5 m) when measured by GWR in Ankara, Turkey, in February 2009. He takes over the title from China's Bao Xishun, who stands 'just' 2.36 metres (seven feet 8.95 inches). However, Sultan Kosen was still growing and at a more recent meeting with then tallest man of the U.S. George Bell, Sultan Kosen was measured at 8'2" tall. On 8 February 2011 Sultan Kosen was measured in Ankara, Turkey at 8 feet 3 inches (251.4 cm).

Personal details :

Sultan Kosen was unable to complete his schooling because of his extreme height, but works occasionally as a farmer to support his family. Sultan Kosen has three brothers and a sister, who are all normal-sized, but his rate of growth surged from the age of 10 because of a tumour which caused too much growth hormone to be released from his pituitary gland. The tumour was successfully removed in surgery and he was thought to have stopped growing last year (2008). He uses walking sticks and tires quickly if he is standing. Another pretender to the tallest title, Ukrainian Leonid Stadnyk, who claims to be 10.5 centimetres taller than Sultan Kosen, fails to qualify for the record because he refused to be measured by Guinness World Records officials. Guinness editor-in-chief Craig Glenday travelled to Turkey to personally validate Sultan Kosen's height under strict guidelines, measuring him three times in one day because bodies expand and shrink throughout the day.

Epileptic fit?

Epilepsy is a brain disorder in which people experience repeated seizures. Let’s start with the basics. Epilepsy is a neurological condition that causes the brain to produce sudden bursts of electrical energy. For the brain to function, there needs to be a balance between increased activity (excitation) and restraint (inhibition). When this balance is changed, a seizure may result.

Causes:
Epilepsy can result from a birth defect, birth or head injury, brain tumor, or an infection in the brain. It can also be inherited. But for half the people with epilepsy, a cause cannot be found. Epilepsy is not contagious.

Epilepsy can occur for the first time at any time, including during old age.

Seizure:
A seizure is the abnormal electrical release of cells, called neurons, in the brain. This can cause different symptoms based on the location of the seizure and where the abnormal electrical activity spreads. Not all seizures are the same. They can range from tingling in a finger to grand mal (generalized) seizures, during which people lose consciousness, become stiff, and jerk.

Not everything that looks like a seizure is a seizure. And not every seizure is an epileptic seizure. Fainting, collapsing, and confusion can also result from other disorders or even from emotional stress. Withdrawal from alcohol or addicting drugs can also cause seizures, but these will not continue if you avoid these situations.

Difference between seizures and epilepsy:
Seizures are a symptom of epilepsy. Epilepsy is the underlying tendency of the brain to release electrical energy that disrupts other brain functions. So the seizure is the symptom of this underlying condition. Having a single seizure does not necessarily mean a person has epilepsy.

Which doctors treat epilepsy?
Neurologists, pediatric neurologists, pediatricians, neurosurgeons, internists, and family physicians all provide treatment for epilepsy.

A neurologist is a physician who specializes in diseases of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. A neurologist who specializes in the treatment of epilepsy is an epileptologist.

People whose seizures are difficult to control have many options and may seek treatment in large hospitals, medical centers, neurological clinics at universities, and from specialists in private practice.

Flu - Orthomyxovirus

Flu or Influenza is caused by an Orthomyxovirus (a type of RNA virus) which is discovered by Andrew and smith. Most of us think that Common cold and flu are same but they are not. Common Cold is caused by Rhinovirus but its affect the respiratory Tract as Flu.
Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidase are the "Spike" of Virus.
-Hemagglutinin helps in attachment of virus on epithelial cells of respiratory cell
-Neuraminidase helps to facilitate the passage of viral genetic material host into epithelial cell

Pathogenesis :
The RNA virus enter into respiratory portal as the route of entry and then enter into host-susceptible where the host's immune response triggers to secret mucus. In simple words, virus attacks the epithelial cells of respiratory tract.

Conditions :
You may ask why flu most of time affected us during cold season? This is due to the characteristics of flu which only can activate and multiply in cold condition of body. Because of this, doctors are not advised us to take cold or chills water at all for few days.

Sometime flu may be appear in pale yellow colour which is due to the bacterial infection of respiratory tract. And bloody flu is caused by the continuous sneezing or coughing will leads to the breakdown of capillaries.

Why there is 7 days in a week ?

In ancient times, people had seen the 5 nearest planets to the earth (except of sun and moon) on the sky. With help of that ,Scientists had done the research and accidently named the planets according to the positions of them. Mercury , Mars, Jupiter , Saturn, Moon ,Sun and Venus were the main planets which had seen on sky in hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Sunday - Sun
Monday - Moon
Tuesday - Mars
Wednesday - Mercury
Thursday - Jupiter
Friday - Venus
Saturday - Saturn

Appearance of planets were be convenient for scientist to named the DAYS.


In additional, Some were believed that many temples of many different cultures around the world show us the importance of the number 7. Seven is the symbol for the pyramid as well. There are 7 steps pyramids in Mexico, 7 steps Ziggurats of Mesopotamia. The wonders of the world is 7. Basically, 7 is the HOLY number to those are believed on GOD.
