Did You Know that Using a Potato you can Light a Room for a Month ?! – VIDEO

Researchers revealed : Potatoes cooked 8 minutes, can create a battery that produces 10 times more power than raw!

Did You Know that Using a Potato you can Light a Room for a Month ?! – VIDEO

Professor of science and agriculture, Haim Rabinovitch discovered that by using units made of slices of potato quarters located between the copper cathode and a zinc anode connected with wire can light the room with LED lights up to 40 days.

Can you imagine all the opportunities of this research, all those possibilities that this discovery offer to people in underdeveloped parts of the world?


But, why potatoes?

They are chosen because the world abundant in potatoes.

Potatoes can grow almost everywhere, including tropical and subtropical climate.

Potato is not itself a source of energy. By acting as a bridge between all the metal, potato allows electrons to move freely through the wire, as it helps to provide electricity.

A Warning For All Parents Backed By Science: What WiFi, Cell Phones & More Are Really Doing To Our Health

Did you realize that a youngster's mind ingests a great deal more radiation than that of a grown-up?

This article just speaks to a little part of the exploration in regards to the risks connected with these gadgets. We urge you to widen your own particular examination, and simply needed to give a base to tell you that it's something that the most of us have to pay consideration on.

Dr. Martin Clear, Ph.D., from the department of Physiology and Cell Biophysics at Colombia University, has joined a gathering of researchers from around the globe who are making an international appeal to the United Countries in regards to the risks connected with the utilization of different electromagnetic discharging gadgets, similar to cells phones and WiFi.

The following is a video of him laying out the different perils connected with these gadgets.


Different studies have uncovered that mobile phone radiation can cause cancer. Did you realize that The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) characterized radio recurrence fields (counting those from cell phones) as a conceivable cancer-causing agent in 2011? The threats of PDA utilization picked up a ton of standard validity in 2011 when the World Health Organization (WHO) admitted that mobile phone radiation may cause cancer. The announcement was based off on a total choice made by a group of 31 researchers, from 14 distinct nations, in the wake of inspecting confirmation that recommended this to be the situation. It's really startling news, particularly given the way that a youngster's cerebrum assimilates considerably more radiation than that of a grown-up.

Goodbye Slow Internet from Globe, Smart, PLDT: Australia’s Biggest Telco to Enter PH

The problem that plagued the Filipino nation may soon come to an end and that is the painfully slow and intermittent connection that providers such as PLDT, SMART and Globe is currently providing to Filipinos,

The Philippines who ranked second with the slowest Internet speed at 3.64Mbps, a snails pace compared to other nations in asia and only ahead of Afghanistan with 2.52Mbps.

IT experts say the problem with the country’s horrible Internet speed is because of the lack of better competitors. Globe, PLDT/Smart, and Sun Cellular on the other hand blame the government for complicated and expensive process in building structures like transmitters and antennas. And also some analysts say that Government officials are taking bribe as to which Company is getting permits first.

Among the country’s internet service providers, PLDT or Philippine Long Distance Company is the worst of the worst offering unlimited data which is not true as they throttle down your speed once you consume a certain amount of data. Globe is better than Smart but it's still worse as they also promote unli surfing which is also a lie, then followed by Sun cellular which is also owned by PLDT.


A News Insider reported that Telstra is planning a joint venture with San Miguel Corporation to compete in the telecommunications market here in the Philippines.

Goodbye Slow Internet from Globe, Smart, PLDT: Australia’s Biggest Telco to Enter PH

There is no exact date on when the business operation will be started, but Bloomberg reported that Telstra is currently on talks with San Miguel, and is willing to invest 5.75 billion Pesos (UD$123 million).

Netizens are already eager and excited to finally have a decent internet speed here in the Social media capital of the world, and we all hope that PLDT and other local Internet Service Providers may be pressured to increase their speed and availability when TELSTRA begins its operation here in the country, so cross your fingers people and hope that we will expect a savior that saves us from these greedy Telcos.

Why Are Scientists “Awakening“ a 30,000-year-old Super Virus?

Scientists are attempting to revive a sleeping 30,000-year-old Super Virus and know why It’s not like our civilization is facing a scarcity of humanity threatening and potentially ending, deadly viruses.

But it won't stop a team of experts from bringing back to life a sleeping, frankenvirus discovered in a permafrost in Siberia. A team from the French National Centre for Scientific Research discovered the virus which they named the Mollivirus sibericum , they plan to revive the superbug in an attempt to understand its composition in a laboratory. 

Why Are Scientists “Awakening“ a 30,000-year-old Super Virus?

And if that wasn’t scary enough, the scientists and researchers say that the virus is pretty much larger than and more complex than its predecessors. So, before this starts to sound too much like a monster movie in which a virus infects a human host and turns him into a meat eating monster, let’s know exactly why this scientists want to bring this potentially deadly disease back from the dead.

It turns out they are analyzing the mollivirus sibercum if it is harmful to humans or animals.. The scientists wrote about their process in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) explaining: “The saga of giant viruses started in 2003. … ‘Two additional types of giant viruses have been discovered [and] we now describe Mollivirus sibericum, a fourth type of giant virus isolated from the same permafrost sample … 

Their origin and mode of evolution are the subject of conflicting hypotheses. infact two different viruses could be easily awaken from its dormant sleep from prehistoric layer of ice should alarm people and in regard to global warming.” And this is the 4th bug they have found in this area where potential minerals will be mined. 

So in this case the scientists are really not to blame in unleashing this potentially harmufl bug but Globalization and Corporations who exploit every resource they can find even if its under the ice in Siberia or elsewhere. The scientists also say they’re worried that the continued effects of global climate change are releasing more viruses into the world as global warming caused by pollution continues to melt ice shelves and will soon disappear in regions around the world. 

The scientists are only doing what they are supposed to do so dont blame the. Hate the nations and corporations who slowly poison the environment and for giving these high-powered viruses new room to roam. We should do our part in securing a better future for our children it is now or never or we will face extinction and we ourselves are to blame.

Tick Saliva May Cure Skin, Liver and Pancreas Cancer

It is one of nature's hideous little blood-sucking parasites, but this humble tick could produce a future cure for skin, liver and pancreatic cancer, according to Brazilian scientists.

Scientists have analyzed a protein in the saliva of a common South American tick, which has a Scientific name of Amblyomma cajennense, that alledgedly diminishes and can even eliminate cancerous cells while not attacking healthy cells.

Tick Saliva May Cure Skin, Liver and Pancreas Cancer

This is a cutting edge innovation to finally have a better cure for cancer," said Ana Marisa Chudzinski-Tavassi, the molecular scientist at the Instituto Butantan in Sao Paulo Brazil who leads the research about tick saliva. "The saliva of the tick and its components may one day be the cure for cancer," she told AFP. She said she found the properties of the protein, called Factor X active, while examining the anti-coagulant properties of the tick's saliva stops blood coagulating and clotting so the tick can keep eating on its host.



The said protein shares some common characteristics with an anti-coagulant called TFPI (Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor), categoricallya Kunitz-type inhibitor which has been shown to alter cell growth. Experimentation and testing show that the protein might have a reaction on cancer cells and it led to laboratory tests on cell cultures which exceeded all expectations.
"To our amazement it didn't attack the normal cells, which were also tested," Chudzinski-Tavassi said. The amazing thing about the tick saliva is it, eliminated the cancerous cells that were being tested. In her humble laboratory, housed in a rundown building, a line of pompous ticks could be seen lined up with tubes attached under their heads. The miniscule amounts of saliva filtered that way was reproduced many times over in yeast vats so that experiments could be carried out on lab rats with cancer.


The results have clearly shown promise. "I treated an infected mouse every day for 14 days with small tumor, this tumor doesn't grow it even degenerates. The tumor mass decrease. If I treat the mouse for 42 days, it totally eliminates the tumor," Chudzinski-Tavassi said. Producing a working medicine from the find, will require some time and a significant financial investment neither of which Brazil is ready to provide. 

Chudzinski-Tavassi is currently applying for a patent on the tick protein, and will submit her team's discovery in medical conferences around the world. But she says moving beyond her lab "proof of concept" will be very difficult and frustrating. To finally discover this is one thing and turning it into a medicine is a whole other thing entirely," she said.

Asteroid 'to destroy Earth in four weeks' September 21 could be our last day: Conspiracy theorists claim

Asteroid to destroy Earth in four weeks It is claimed an asteroid that will be 2.5miles wide could hit Puerto Rico, wreaking devastation across the planet.

It has been claimed that our planet will be destroyed in 4 weeks as a huge asteroid heads towards Earth. Conspiracy theorists claim that it will arrive between September 21 – 28 and it could be the end of the world The origins of the claim come from self-proclaimed prophet Efrain Rodriguez, who has passed his research onto NASA.


Mr. Rodriguez’s prediction appears to support the Blood Moon Prophecy, with September 28 marking the last of four 'blood moons'. He claimed that disaster looms when a lunar eclipse - which last took place in April 2014 - is followed by 6 full moons.

He says he had a vision of the asteroid "entering the airspace of the town of Arecibo in Puerto Rico, hitting the sea between the island of Mona and Mayaguez and triggering a magnitude 12 earthquake". Because the prophecy had so many people worried, NASA has been forced to issue a statement clarifying matters. A Guy from NASA's Near-Earth Object office, named Paul Chodas, has thrown out the claims. He said: "There is no supporting evidence that a huge asteroid or any other celestial object is on a trajectory that will impact Earth.”

"In fact, not a single one of the known objects has any credible chance of hitting our planet over the next century. "There is no scientific basis, not one shred of evidence, that an asteroid or any other celestial object will impact Earth on those dates."

Virgin Gets Bionic Penis After Childhood Tragedy

A man whose penis is ripped off as a child is entitled to an 8-inch bionic replacement. Mohammed Abad, 43, has undergone pioneering surgery in the last three years to make new fully functioning penis hard.

 Lost his genitals in a horrific accident at the age of 6 when he was hit by a car and dragged for 600 yards. Surgeons began crafting a proper replacement three years ago with a skin graft taken from his arm.

Abad masculinity has two tubes along its length which inflate with fluid when he presses a button on his testicles. "If you want a bit of action you press the 'on', and when you're done you press another button. It takes a few seconds," Abad, from Edinburgh, Scotland, told The Sun Abad , divorced and currently single, had his last surgery last month at University College London.


"I have a pump on my testicles, so when I want to have sex, I ask it, inflate it and the fluid makes its way the tubes and that gives me an erection, "he said. And after that, deflate it when I was done.

"Now the security guard dreams of having children, which he described as" a miracle. "

‘Text Neck’ is Becoming an ‘Epidemic’ and could Wreck your Spine.

The human head weighs about a dozen pounds. But as the neck bends forward and down, the weight on the cervical spine begins to increase. At a 15-degree angle, this weight is about 27 pounds, at 30 degrees it’s 40 pounds, at 45 degrees it’s 49 pounds, and at 60 degrees it’s 60 pounds.
That’s the burden that comes with staring at a smartphone — the way millions do for hours every day, according to research published by Kenneth Hansraj in the National Library of Medicine. The study will appear next month inSurgical Technology International. Over time, researchers say, this poor posture, sometimes called “text neck,” can lead to early wear-and-tear on the spine, degeneration and even surgery.
‘Text neck’ is becoming an ‘epidemic’ and could wreck your spine.

“It is an epidemic or, at least, it’s very common,” Hansraj, chief of spine surgery at New York Spine Surgery and Rehabilitation Medicine, told The Washington Post. “Just look around you, everyone has their heads down.”
‘Text neck’ is becoming an ‘epidemic’ and could wreck your spine.

Can’t grasp the significance of 60 pounds? Imagine carrying an 8-year-old around your neck several hours per day. Smartphone users spend an average of two to four hours per day hunched over, reading e-mails, sending texts or checking social media sites. That’s 700 to 1,400 hours per year people are putting stress on their spines, according to the research. And high-schoolers might be the worst. They could conceivably spend an additional 5,000 hours in this position, Hansraj said.
“The problem is really profound in young people,” he said. “With this excessive stress in the neck, we might start seeing young people needing spine care. I would really like to see parents showing more guidance.”
Medical experts have been warning people for years. Some say for every inch the head tilts forward, the pressure on the spine doubles.
Tom DiAngelis, president of the American Physical Therapy Association‘s Private Practice Section, told CNN last year the effect is similar to bending a finger all the way back and holding it there for about an hour.
“As you stretch the tissue for a long period of time, it gets sore, it gets inflamed,” he said. It can also cause muscle strain, pinched nerves, herniated disks and, over time, it can even remove the neck’s natural curve.
Poor posture can cause other problems as well. Experts say it can reduce lung capacity by as much as 30 percent. It has also been linked to headaches and neurological issues, depression and heart disease.
“While it is nearly impossible to avoid the technologies that cause these issues, individuals should make an effort to look at their phones with a neutral spine and to avoid spending hours each day hunched over,” according to the research.
Speaking to TODAY, Hansraj gave smartphone users tips to avoid pain:
  • Look down at your device with your eyes. No need to bend your neck.
  • Exercise: Move your head from left to right several times. Use your hands to provide resistance and push your head against them, first forward and then backward. Stand in a doorway with your arms extended and push your chest forward to strengthen “the muscles of good posture,” Hansraj said.
“I love technology. I’m not bashing technology in any way,” Hansraj told The Post. “My message is: Just be cognizant of where your head is in space. Continue to enjoy your smartphones and continue to enjoy this technology — just make sure your head is up.”
