As quoted from the Times of India, is the name given to repetitive strain injury caused by excessive cell phone use when sending email, chat or sms. "Blackberry or PDAs can cause tendonitis (inflammation or irritation and swelling of the tendons in the shoulder) due to thumb typing on small keypads.

The problem is people do the same activity for long periods when the body was not created to do something like that. The disease can only be felt after long-term use of smartphones, "Christian said Crowe, a therapist, as quoted from usnews. Margot Miller, president of the American Physical Therapy Association's Occupational Health Special Interest Group added, "Due to very small smartphone keypad and thumb are the most nimble fingers and then added to the custom of sending a message.

So that's what causes the injury." Symptoms of 'BlackBerry Thumb' usually is pain or numbness in the thumb and hand joints.

"Try more use of computers. Do not write on your PDA agenda."

Radiation rain flushed the United States

Health officials the United States said that one sample of rainwater in Massachusetts have been contaminated with low levels of radiation. Radiation is most likely from a nuclear power plant of Japan earlier this month damaged by the quake and tsunami. John Auerbach, Massachusetts public health commissioner, said that the element radioiodin-131 was found in samples of rain in the lower levels.

That is one of over 100 samples have been taken across the country. He said the supply of drinking water in the state that part is not affected. Officials do not expect any health problems. Nevada and other Western countries also have reported very small amounts of radiation. However, scientists say that there is no health risk.

Massachusetts Department of Public Health said the sample was taken on last Sunday. But, they do not tell the location of the rainwater samples. Testing is part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's network that monitors for radioactivity. State officials said similar tests conducted in California, Pennsylvania, Washington and other states.

The results show comparable levels of I-131 in the rain. Massachusetts''last week to test samples from the Quabbin and Wachusett reservoirs and showed no detectable levels of I-131, health officials said. But Secretary of Energy and the Environment, Richard K. Sullivan Jr., urged the Department of Environmental Protection to collect additional samples for testing from several bodies of water in Massachusetts. Results will be available over the next few days.

Being a gay due to lack of serotonin

In addition to your tolerance for homosexual movement, until now the research about the cause of homosexuality continues to be done. One of them is the study by Yi Rao of Peking University and National Institute of Biological Sceinces, Beijing.

Compounds known to affect serotonin in sexual activity, such as erection, ejaculation, and orgasm. Yi Rao then examined the effect of serotonin on sexual orientation white mice experiments. To investigate, Rao uses white male rats that had been genetically engineered. He made the white rat experiments are not able to produce serotonin by turning off genes that play a role in the production of these compounds.

As a result, white mice without serotonin turns tend to like others of its kind. White mice hummed a love song in an ultrasonic frequency which is usually sung when they want to marry a female. Rao also found that 60 percent of males without serotonin spend the time to caress and smell genital lesbian. While males with serotonin tend to approach the opposite sex.

When Rao inject the compound serotonin, he saw that the mice tend to be attracted to the opposite sex. Meanwhile, when too much serotonin, rats would not be attracted to both types. This shows that the concentration of serotonin in the body of white rats to determine their sexual orientation. Serotonin should be in a certain concentration so that support homosexual or heterosexual behavior.

Does the same thing cause homosexuality in humans? Elaine Hull, an expert rodensia Florida State University who was involved in the research, said, "The same thing might also influence homosexuality or bisexuality in humans." However, he and co-author of the study Zhou Feng Chen reminded that the conclusions of this study can not be taken excessively.

Hail this study do not necessarily explain the cause of homosexuality in humans. "More information is needed to determine the location of the brain involved in the regulation of serotonin at it before jumping to the conclusion that serotonin is a compound that affects the attraction between men," said Hull. The results of this study published in the journal Nature on March 24, 2011 last.

This study is the first time researchers were able to describe the influence of neurotransmitters such as serotonin on sexual orientation. Previously, research on the causes homosexuality have also been carried out, for example, related to the volume of left and right brain. So far, some scientists believe that homosexuality is something that has terberi, not a disease.

Browser Safari 5 and IE8 Successfully uprooted "Hacker"

Not unexpectedly browser made ​​by Apple's Safari and Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 have the same fate. Successfully uprooted hackers on the first day Pwn2Own contest that was held as part of the CanSecWest security technology conference in Vancouver, Canada, 9-11 March 2011.

Researchers from the company's security system Vupen, France became the first team to successfully break through the Safari 5. Even according to the version number software , they do it in just five seconds. Co-founder Vupen, Charouki Bekrar, and two members of his team worked hard for two weeks to find a weakness in Safari 5.

They found him on the Webkit, the engine rendering based on open source that use a browser such. They successfully exploit the weaknesses and went through the system via the ASLR (address space layout randomization) and DEP (Data Execution Prevention), two security features specifically designed to prevent malicious programs infiltrate.

In fact, the team has made ​​a special program for infiltrated through the hole weaknesses. These programs enable the calculator and infect a computer to take full access. "Victims who visit a website , he will get caught. Without the necessary interaction whatsoever, "said Bekrar. While IE8 security researchers solved the challenge of Ireland Stephen Fewer.

He successfully break through the browser is running on 64 bit versions of Windows 7. To penetrate the security system IE8, Fewer found three weaknesses, two of whom were already anticipated from the beginning to exploit. With two weaknesses through it, he managed to find a third weakness to break through Protected Mode sandbox so it can access the system in full operation.

Three Major Disaster In Japan

Toughness Japan faces pressure three major disasters at once, ie, earthquakes, tsunamis, and nuclear radiation, amaze the world. 

Japan's international reputation as a strong country received wide acclaim. Not the looting to strengthen the image of "civilized nations".

The Japanese government on Tuesday (15 / 3), continues to spur the process of evacuation and relief distribution to disaster areas previously unreached. All the strength and resources deployed to a maximum of northeastern Japan, the region worst hit by the tsunami.

Evacuation of tsunami victims went along with the evacuation of thousands of citizens who are threatened exposure to nuclear radiation at the Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) Fukushima Daiichi, north of Tokyo. Fukushima Prefecture was also included one of the victims of the earthquake and tsunami that occurred on Friday. Television, print media, radio, and news sites online in around the world have released a disaster. It is amazing the world, the whole incident as well as dramatic and thrilling moments of Japanese television filmed the seconds, since the initial earthquake, tsunami, flood water until it "stationary".

Japan then preach the drama of natural fury that left more than 10,000 people were killed and 10,000 people missing around the world. Although time to panic, Japan quickly got up, took all his strength, ranging from troops, ships, until the aircraft. The number of soldiers was increased two-fold than 51,000 personnel to 100,000 personnel. A total of 145 of 170 hospitals across the affected areas fully operational. 

Despite hunger and water crises plagued the millions of people along thousands of kilometers east coast of Honshu Island and other islands in Japan, the victims waited patiently and orderly distribution logistics. Until the fourth day after the disaster, Tuesday, does not sound acts of looting and other despicable acts. Associated Press describes, Japanese residents still face the problem that caused the disaster. 

The other side of Japanese society is taught despite their long-suffering overwhelmed grief of losing loved ones. They patiently waited for assistance. Governments can be more calm to focus on evacuation, rescue, and logistics distribution. Latest disaster is the danger of nuclear radiation caused three explosions and fires in a Nuclear Power Plant Fukushima Daiichi.

Of the six nuclear reactors, four of which have been problematic. Japan learned from the case of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and build its system better. The government guarantee there would be no Chernobyl incident in Japan. "The United Nations has not taken steps before there is demand. Japan is the country best prepared in the world (the face of disaster), "said Elisabeth Byrs, a spokeswoman for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), told Reuters . 

Byrs continued, "The Japanese responded to three emergency at once, ie, earthquakes, tsunamis and the nuclear threat, and doing very well." The bloggers and users of social networking sites in English praised Japan as a nation are brave ( Stoic ) and wondered about the ability of other nations, especially in the West, if it was rocked by three major disasters at once.

They praised the Japanese are a great nation, strong and ethical. Harvard University professor, Joseph Nye, said the disaster has given birth to Japan as the nation's soft power . The term was created to depict Japan achieve its goal by appearing more attractive to other nations. When disaster and humanitarian tragedy invite sympathy from the world of Japan, the image of the affected country rarely benefit from the disaster. Pakistan, for example, received U.S. aid and other countries when hit by flash floods last year. However, very few individual assistance, which caused the country's image in the eyes of the world. 

China and Haiti also faces criticism over the handling of the earthquake in 2008 and 2009. Faced with the need for large-scale reconstruction fund, Japan is still considering an international bid. "Despite devastating hit by tragedy, a sad event, there are features that are very interesting from Japan," said Nye told AFP . "Too early to predict whether they succeeded in restoring the economy. However, viewed from afar, the Japanese people during the crisis showed fortitude. This speaks volumes about Japan in the future, "said Deputy Director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies Nicholas Széchenyi.
