2. Don’t eat fruits immediately — Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Thre fore take fruits 1 -2 hours after meal or 1 hour before meal.

3. Don’t drink tea—— Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the protein content in the food we consume to be hundred thus difficult to digest.

4. Don’t loosen your belt———- Loosening the belt after meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted and blocked.

How clever the crooks are?

How clever the crooks are?

A lady has changed her habit of how she lists her names in her cell phone contacts list/directory after her handbag was stolen.

Her handbag, which contained her cell phone, credit card, purse, etc.., was stolen.

Twenty minutes later she called her husband, from a pay telephone telling him what had happened.

Her husband said, ‘I have just received your text message asking about our bank PIN number and I have replied a little while ago.’

When they rushed down to the bank, the staff told them all the money was already withdrawn.

The thief had actually used the stolen mobile phone to text her husband listed in the cell phone contacts list and got hold of their bank ATM card pin number.

Within twenty minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank account.

Moral of the story:

Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people on your cell phone contact list.

Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Mom, Dad, etc..,

And very importantly, when sensitive information is being asked for through text messages, CONFIRM by calling back.

Also, when you are being text messaged by friends or family to meet them somewhere, be sure to call back to confirm whether that message came from them..

If you do not reach them, be very careful about going places to meet ‘family and friends’ who text you.

NEWS FROM WEST

WESTERN DOMINANCE IN NEWS DISSEMINATION:

A virtual revolution has seen in the world of news with globalization and innovation in technology. The information explosion has created a highly competitive environment leading to severe changes. Wire services have played a critical role in gathering and dissemination of news to newspapers, periodicals, radio and television broadcasters, government agencies, and other subscribers. Previously, the only source of news can be pointed as the international news agencies (BIG FOUR). A significant but not so successful effort was done in setting up of national news agencies to wash away the dominance of the BIG FOUR. Reuters, AP, AFP and UPI are able to generate large quantum of news from here through their correspondents as well as through ‘news exchange mechanism’ with other agencies.  The two premier Indian news agencies, Press Trust of India (PTI) and United News of India (UNI) have gone through various stages of evolution, since 1946 from being the flag  bearers of free India to  being harbingers of the changing  socioeconomic scenario  and  gradually  becoming  important players in  globalization  and commoditization of news. The initial idea of setting up of news agencies was to create a centralized pool of news which also took necessary efforts to safe guard the interest of the nation. But all efforts were in vain.  During  1970’s the global flow of news content between  agencies and  the misrepresentation  of views and development in  the Third  World  by  western agencies was the subject of intense debate. It was often alleged that news content from foreign agencies was usually laden with their own biases and perceptions. Today use of mobile and internet technologies and access to information through multiple sources have such distortion in handling news.

NEWS AGENCIES ROUND THE CLOCK SERVICES:

Now we can say that such news agencies multiplied, with foreign partners and independent news organizations. To talk about the speed with which news is transmitted is matched with assortment of stories and issues finding space in the media. Subjects, like business, market trends, art and cinema making are may be the possible answers in defining “what is news” finds a noteworthy place in to the front pages. In this changing set-up, news agencies have a more promising role to play since the demand for variety in news would provide an impetus to enlarge the scope of their activities within and outside the country. In recent times there has been an increased interest in India’s efforts to streamline economic activities and counter terror threats at the same time. News agencies provide an update on these issues which frame India’s image, which is either advantageous or can act as detrimental to its efforts. To understand if news agencies are providing the right context and bringing in perspectives which provide for a more balanced assessment, a study  was undertaken  to  analyze how Indian issues are placed before the readers here and abroad. The working of the news agencies is seen at two broad levels: the news exchange mechanism with the foreign new agencies and utilization of such news by  the foreign as well as domestic subscribers.

WE & New Media

New media and Globalization

The new media has increased communication between people all over the world. The Internet has allowed people to express themselves through blogs, websites, pictures, and other user-generated media. The evolution of new media technologies is the result of globalization or vice versa. Globalization shortens the distance between people all over the world with the help of electronic communication. Some scholars and experts express this great development as the "death of distance". As an inhabitant of informational society we use words on screens to exchange pleasantries and argue, engage in intellectual discourse, conduct commerce, make plans, brainstorm, gossip, feud, fall in love, create a little high art and a lot of idle talk. Hence New media has the ability to connect like-minded others worldwide. New media follows the logic of the postindustrial or globalised society whereby 'every citizen can construct her own custom lifestyle and select her ideology from a large number of choices. Rather than pushing the same objects to a mass audience, marketing now tries to target each individual separately. Technological determinism is the main concept which can be counter attacked by scholars as soft determinism that 'Technology does not determine society”.  This newly formed media is responsible for a remarkable social change like trends in fashion and the emergence of subcultures such as Text Speak, Cyberpunk, and various others. We can see contribution of new media in less radical social movements such as Free Hugs Campaign, Using websites, blogs, and online videos to demonstrate the effectiveness of the movement itself. Marshall McLuhan’s global village is here proves to be accurate in case of New media and its interactivity. 

Interactivity and new media

Interactivity is the prominent feature of new media, Internet replaces the "one-to-many" model of traditional mass communication with the possibility of a "many-to-many" web of communication. Digitalization of the media and media convergence are the ultimate outcome of new media is to Like. So, the new media with technology convergence shifts the model of mass communication, and radically shapes the ways we interact and communicate with one another. Interpersonal media as "one to one", Mass media as "one to many" and, finally New Media as Individuation Media or "many to many" is the newly formed model developed in the concluding part of 20th century. Interactivity can be considered as a central concept in understanding new media, but different media forms possess different degrees of interactivity, even some forms of digitized and converged media are not in fact interactive at all. Another new media example digital satellite television that uses digital compression to dramatically increase the number of television channels that can be delivered, and which changes the nature of what can be offered through the service, but does not transform the experience of television from the user’s point of view, as it lacks a more fully interactive dimension. It remains the case that interactivity is not an inherent characteristic of all new media technologies, unlike digitization and convergence. New Media changes continuously because it is constantly modified and redefined by the interaction between the creative use of the masses, emerging technology, cultural changes, etc.

World cup 2011—replica or real ?

The world CUP 2011—CONTROVERSY 

There has been much ado regarding World cup 2011. Now the news spread that the World Cup that had been handed to the champions is the replica not the real. Though (ICC) The International Cricket Council has, however, rejected these allegations, saying the real Cup was handed to the champions. Contrary to some erroneous and mischievous media reports, the ICC can confirm the trophy presented to India at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday was the original. But in reality it may be something else. It has been suggested in the media that the original Cup is lying with the Customs department because of the non-payment of duty on the Cup. But they made me confused by hearing the exactly contradictory statement.

The original gold and silver Cup, valued $130,000.is in customs custody because the ICC failed to deposit the respective money.  But ICC is constantly arguing that Cup in the customs' custody is the "perpetual trophy" which being used for promotional purposes. They emphasizes their comment by saying that The trophy presented to India carries the specific event logo of ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 and has always been the cup that the 14 teams were playing for. However "The trophy seized by Mumbai customs is the promotional, perpetual trophy which remains in the keeping of ICC at its headquarters in Dubai. It carries the generic ICC corporate logo rather than the logo specific to the 2011 event. That trophy will be reclaimed today and will travel back to Dubai with ICC staff as was always intended.
