The Tree of Ténéré was once considered the world's most isolated tree before it was knocked down by an allegedly drunk Libyan truck driver in 1973. It was the only acacia tree within 250 miles and it served as a landmark on caravan routes through the Ténéré region of the Sahara in northeast Niger.It was the last surviving tree of a group of trees that grew when the desert was less parched th
After the volte-face of Mulayam Singh in the pretext of ‘country’s interest’ and resolving the age-old enmities with the Congress party, the politics in New Delhi has become throbbing again. Mulayam has announced that communalism is far more dangerous than imperialism, Advani is far more dangerous than Bush. What a perceptive politician that he is! This mood is reflecting in the electronic

Isolated Systolic Hypertension (ISH) is defined as a systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 140 mm Hg and a diastolic blood pressure less than 90 mm Hg, and not secondary to another disorder. ISH is a disease entity caused largely by stiffening of the large arteries with advancing age.ISH is clearly related to stroke, coronary heart disease, heart failure, heart size, kidney failure, and
"One of South America's few remaining uncontacted indigenous tribes has been spotted and photographed on the border between Brazil and Peru. The Brazilian government says it took the images to prove the tribe exists and help protect its land. The pictures, taken from an aeroplane, show red-painted tribe members brandishing bows and arrows."[via bbc news]
Amazon Indians are one of the most cut off tribes of the world. One of these tribes were spotted for the first time by westerners today by a helicopter of the Survival International organisation near the Brazil-Peru border.
They have never seen helicopters before so they are pointing their bows and arrows towards the “big bird” [...]

If it isn't broke, don't fix itThe Bush Administration wants to move a laboratory that until 2003 was managed by the Agriculture Department. The laboratory studies the highly contagious foot-and-mouth virus. The Homeland Security Department now runs the Plum Island facility and wants to move the laboratory from the isolated island to the United States mainland where exposure to livestock would be catastrophic to the agriculture industry. A United Kingdom government laboratory was blamed for a recent £80m foot-and-mouth disease outbreak so the risk is real. The Bush Administration has consistently illustrated clumsiness, ineptness and incompetence so why should their decision on such a risky issue be trusted now? The costs and risks from a possible outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease a

Sir Alex Ferguson claims Manchester United would have beaten Barcelona in Wednesday night's Champions League semi-final first leg had Cristiano Ronaldo been given more support by his team-mates. Despite missing a third-minute penalty, Ronaldo was United's most dangerous player as they drew 0-0 at the Nou Camp. Ferguson said: "In Cristiano Ronaldo, I thought we had a player who could win the match. He was a constant threat and I thought that, with better support, we could have won." Ferguson felt let down by his side's midfield, saying: "I am bit disappointed in the transition between defence and attack. "We are normally better at keeping possession of the ball, that causes more concern than any other part of the game. The United boss also claimed his side surrendered possession too of
This beautiful house is completely cut off from the mainland. It’s not like there haven’t been any houses built on islands before, but this house practically spreads across the whole island, you go out the door and you find yourself swimming. I wonder how this house close to Oslofjord Islands was built. It’s nice if [...]
Here is a simple hack to convert a simple (cheap) module into your very own opto-isolated TTL to 110 VAC power source. Since it is isolated you can control it with low voltage circuitry and have no worry about electrocution. The other concern when you control high voltage with a low voltage control circuit (a [...]
Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone has spoken out against an anti-racism campaign by the sport's governing body, FIA. Ecclestone said the racism suffered by Briton Lewis Hamilton in Spain was "an isolated incident".Ecclestone said: "All it does is give attention to people who want attention. I don't think they're fans, and I don't think they were supporting [Fernando] Alonso in particular. They just like to abuse people." Source: BBC
CELINA JAITLEY recently had a nightmarish experience in the same hotel. "I went into the sports' lounge of this hotel with a gay foreigner friend of mine for just ten minutes. I saw a tall imposing middle-aged German guy making obscene gestures at me. The story of three Marathi actors who were denied entry into a restaurant in a suburban Mumbai's 7-star hotel isn't isolated.At first I ignored him out of embarrassment. Then he got bolder and came up to me to tell me in German in picturesque detail what he'd like to do to me. He didn't know I speak German fluently. That was it. I asked the hotel's authorities to deal with the situation, since they hadn't allowed my bodyguard in. Forget about challenging the German lecher, they said they didn't know who he was! Luckily I had seen him sign his room number on his bill."When the posh hotel's cowardly personnel did nothing to help Celina, she left but returned the next day with three vans of cops, got the man out of his room and co
MINIATURE ISOLATED AC/DC POWER SUPPLYThis circuit uses a novel approach to produce a fully isolated and regulated 5 volts @30ma from the 120vac power line. It uses two tiny SCRs that alternately discharge two capacitors through a miniature high frequency transformer. The voltage spikes produced through the transformer are rectified, filtered and regulated. A very common 8 ohm audio impedance matching transformer can be used for the transformer
The woes of couples in love in Mumbai have always been great because of the lack of open isolated spots where the lovebirds can enjoy each other's company in solitude. They are either harassed by the cops, eunuchs, beggars or by desperate onlookers who just won't leave them alone. Because even kissing each other in public is considered vulgar in India, the act can attract anything from lewd comments to a fine of at least Rs 100 to the lucky cop who gets hold of them. To combat this couples often go to isolated spots such as the rocks on the bandstand seashore, Reclamation, empty car parks or Sanjay Gandhi National park. But now goons have found a way to prey on the lovebirds. There have been increasing reports of couples being robbed at knife point or gun point in isolated spots.The latest case of a young college couple who were out to enjoy some intimate sex in an isolated spot in the Borivili National Park, the robbers robbed the couple of a mobile phone, gold chain and Rs 800 in c
Scientists may have just taken an important step in the fight against muscular dystrophy. According to the Journal of Clinical Investigation, researchers at Ohio State University Medical Center have isolated a protein that could play a major role in crippling MD patients.* It is a finding that could someday lead to new ways to treat some forms of MD, and offer new hope for the one million Americans who have it.**Having dealt with muscular dystrophy nearly his entire life, Brent Yetter decided to make a career of it. He works in a lab dedicated to fighting these types of diseases.Read more....permalink Technorati121550fce609bcdf

This circuit is my variation on Charles’ floating 9V supply. My design uses feedback regulation instead of a zener shunt regulator to stabilize the output against battery voltage and load variations. Replacing the shunt regulator with feedback control makes the supply more efficient for output loads of less than about 500ua. That might be important if the 9V battery must supply maximum current or needs longer operational life.

Did you ever install one of those low-cost LCD panel meters in a project only to discover that it requires a floating power supply? I just did! The meter cannot share a DC ground with the voltage to be measured. The above circuit came to the rescue. It draws about 4 or 5 mA from the 9 volt supply and can supply up to 2 mA at 9 volts to the LCD meter or other load but the two capacitors isolate the grounds. Works like a champ! Also see Craig’s regulated version.

Instatravel points us to Pitcairn Island: A World Apart, complete with surreal photos:
Searching for the most isolated place on the planet is becoming more and more of a problem. An island with a population of just fifty seems unlikely in today’s world, but it does exist.
…
Pitcairn remains one of the most isolated habited places on earth. Since Pitcairn lies outside the normal shipping navigation paths, contact with the island is sporadic at best. Pitcairn visitors must obtain arrange to stay with native families, and written permission from the government is required to visit the island.
That’s my kind of vacation.
Over the last 6 months or so I have said time and again that history will probably judge George Bush mostly by the Iraq war and chances are it wont be positive. He got a massive prescription benefits package passed that will likely cost hundreds of billions f dollars, other than that, not so much. His plan to privative social security retirement was stillborn. No, more like the Democrats were attacking that embryonic idea with rusty coat hangers to abort it.He did keep taxes low but he also spent like a drunken Democrat on social programs so now we are in debt to the tune of $8,873,416,413.60 as of this writing. A staggering amount of the federal budget now is just to service the national debt. The so called centerpiece of his presidency, the horrific illegal alien amnesty bill, went down in flames recently No, more like it went down in nuclear holocaust the rejection was so overwhelming. And at the grass roots level dislike for the plan crossed all political boundaries. He has bee
Telecommunications companies want you to believe that their wireless gadgets make you better connected and more in-touch.
But do they?
Yes, you can talk, or send text messages, to the people you aren't with whenever you want with these gizmos, but this requires you to choose between paying attention to remote disembodied voices instead of your surroundings and all those people who occupy your surroundings.
And that sounds a little disconnected to me.
These people I see, who wander around, clinging to little metal boxes that they intermittently stop to type on, or who chatter to invisible people through the gadgets strapped to their ears, seem more oblivious than connected.
A while back, I was waiting in line at the grocery store, involuntarily listening to someone blather on and on ab
Pas d' update du blog jusqu'a nouvel ordre, pas d'email non plus, pour poster ce post je ne vous raconte pas l'epopee. Pas d'internet ou presque sur le teritoire national, et pour cause:VietNamNet Bridge - Since 2am this morning (December 27), all ADSL lines of VDC, FPT, Viettel systematically have become disconnected from the global network. However, all domestic websites are operating normally.According to the preliminary survey, the situation resulted from the 7.2 Richter scale earthquake occurring in Southern Taiwan at 7.34pm (Vietnam timezone) on December 26, which caused the disconnection of several cable lines in the China - Taiwan - Hongkong network.[…]Websites with servers of DNS domain and hosts outside Asia were unable to be accessed. In other words, the Internet network in Asia was totally isolated from the rest of the world.According to Mr le Huu Hien, Director of the Viettel Internet Corporation, the 155Mps in connection with NTT and Telegros (Japan) is
