Consequences of drinking cold water

This article is especially for people who drink cold water. It is always nice to have a cold drink after a meal. However, there are some bad effects may result. The cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks - You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.

You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive.

Flying Car 'Evolution'

Russian scientist Alexander Begak invented a car that can fly in the air,moves in water and also on road.He named the car as 'EVOLUTION'.It looks very small compared to the usual luxurious cars.“This is a universal kind of transportation. It can fly at the height of 4,000 meters above the ground and cover the distance of up to 400 kilometers without additional refueling. Its 30 horse-power motor allows to develop the speed of 160 km/h in the air and 80 km/h on land. An on-board computer controls pilot’s actions,”said the inventor Alexander Begak to reporters.It is less heavier since it needs to fly at a height of more than 4000 meters.Kevlar fibres and plastics were used much in this special car to reduce its weight.The amazing fact is it weighs only 60 kg.But its very strong and safe.Two years of hard work required for Bagok him to invent this 'EVOLUTION'.It has been tested more than 100 times by many experts and they assured for its safety.

New Rules and Regulations of F1 - A complete List

Here’s a quick gist of complete rules changes for F1 2008.

Standard engine control unit.

Teams are required to use a standard engine control unit supplied by Microsoft McLaren Electronic Systems which, like the McLaren F1 team, is part of the McLaren Group. The purpose of this is to allow the FIA to enforce a ban on driver aids such as traction control. It will also limit teams abilities to run electronic engine braking systems. No car may be equipped with a system or device which is capable of preventing the driven wheels from spinning under power or of compensating for excessive throttle demand by the driver. Any device or system which notifies the driver of the onset of wheel spin is not permitted.

Engine development freeze

Teams must use the same engines in 2008 as they did in 2007, with development restricted to a small number of parts. This freeze on development is expected to last at least five years and next year teams will be allowed to use Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems to provide increased power.

Restrictions on materials

As a cost-cutting measure the teams have been limited to using a restricted range of materials in the building of their cars.

Bio fuel minimum

The cars’ fuel must be a minimum of 5.75% bio fuel. This will allow F1 cars to be in line with new road cars which will have the same requirement from 2010.

Changing Gearbox Restriction

Changing a gearbox will incur a five-place grid penalty at the event where a driver changes gearbox. A further gearbox replacement results in a fresh penalty. If a driver fails to finish a race, “for reasons beyond the control of the team or driver,” they may fit a fresh gearbox for the next event without incurring a penalty.

Promotion of young drivers

Teams can run promotional days and try out young drivers without it counting towards their limit of 30,000km of testing.

Increased head protection

The cockpit sides have been raised to give drivers better head protection, making the profile of the cars noticeably different this year..

Engine replacement penalties

The ten-place grid penalty for changing a two-race engine remains, but drivers will not incur that penalty for a first offense.

Space cars restrictions

Teams can only have two cars assembled at any one time during a weekend and the stewards will consider a “partially assembled survival cell…fitted with an engine, any front suspension, bodywork, radiators, oil tanks or heat exchangers” to be a car.

Qualifying restrictions

It is expected that teams will run shorter first stints in the races. It should also greatly reduce the amount of time spent in the tedious ‘fuel burn’ phase at the start of the third part of qualifying.

Four-race gearboxes

Gearboxes must now last four races without being changed. Teams can still change the clutch, oil, oil filters and associated system, hydraulics not related to gear shifting, and parts mounted to the casing that do not handle gear selection. Ratios can be changed to help tune a car to a particular circuit.

A research report states that the brain of human will get affected if they inhale the smoke from the vehicle.As everyone knows the smoke from vehicles will affect the lungs but this research proves that the effect of smoke is far more worse than our expectations.
To prove their report, they selected some 10 healthy people and made them to stay in a closed room which is full of smoke.They obseved the working of their brain through e.e.g..To everyone 's surprise the brain started working strangely for all the 10 people.Even after coming out of the room their brain not worked properly for nearly one hour.At the same time another test is conducted with 10 different people in a room with full of fresh air.Their brain worked properly infact their working was much better than the normal time.The scientist confirmed that these effects will happen to normal people inhaling hazardous smoke daily.
