Drinking a moderat amount of alcohol each day could protect against arthritis a study on mice but it is applicable to humans as well.
artritis ,a disease of the joints, is the leading cause of disability in people over the age of 65.earlier studies have found that low or moderate alcohol intake benefit people in number of ways ,such as lowering the risk of heart disease. however,it is also well known that drinking too much causes complications.
in the new study ,researchers gave mice injections of collagen, aprotein to induce rhematoid arthirtis, reported the online edition of BBC news

water in mars
A spacecraft orbiting Mars hasscanned huge deposits of ice atA .Lits south pole so plentiful theywould blanket the planet in 36 feetof water if they were liquid,scientists said on Thursday.The scientists used the joint NASA-Italian Space Agency radar instrument on the European Space Agency (ESA) Mars Express spacecraft to gauge the thickness and volume of ice deposits at the Martian south pole.The deposits, up to 2.3 miles thick, are under a polar cap of white frozen carbon dioxide and water — and appear to be composed of at least 90 per cent frozen water, with dust mixed in, according to findings published in the journal Science.Scientists have known that water exists in frozen form at the Martian poles, but this research produced the most accurate measurements of just how much there is.They are eager to learn about the history of water on Mars because water is fundamental to the question of whether the planet hasever harboured microbial, or some other life. Liquid water is a necessity for life as we know it.Characteristics like channels on the Martian surface strongly suggest the planet was once very wet; a contrast to its present arid, dusty condition.Jeffrey Plaut of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, who led the study, said the same techniques are being used to examine similar ice deposits at the Martian north pole.Radar observations made in late 2005 and early 2006 provided the data on the south pole, and similarobservations were taken of the north pole in the past several months, Plaut said.Plaut, part of an international team of two dozen scientists, said a preliminary look at this dataindicated the ice deposits in at the north pole are comparable to those at the south pole.SEARCH FOR LIFE“Life as we know it requires waterand, in fact, at least transient liquid water for cells to survive and reproduce. So if we are expecting to find life on Mars we need to go to a location where water is available,” Plaut said.“So the polar regions are naturally a target because we certainly know that there’s plenty of H20 there.”Some of the new information even hints at the possible existence of a thin layer of liquid water at the base of the deposits.But while images taken byNASA’s Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft made public in December suggested the presence of a small amount of liquid water on the surface, researchers are baffled about the fate of most of the water. The polar deposits contain most of the known water on Mars.Plaut said the amount of water in the Martian past may have been the equivalent of a global layer hundreds of metres deep, while the polar deposits represent a layer of perhaps tens of metres.“We have this continuing question facing us in studies of Mars, which is: Where did all the water go?” Plaut said.“Even if you took the water in these two (polar) ice caps and added it all up, it’s still not nearly enough to do all of the work that we’ve seen that the water has done across the surface of Mars in its history.”Plaut said it appears perhaps 10 per cent of the water that once existed on Mars is now trapped in these polar deposits. Other water may exist below the planet’s surface or perhaps some was lost into space through the atmosphere, Plaut said.REUTERSWATER ON MARSScientists have found large deposits of ice on the south pole of Mars; enough to blanket the entire planet in water if it was in liquid form...This map shows the ice-rich south pole of Mars that was probed by the MARSIS radar equipment on the ESA’s Mars Express Orbiter. The thickness of the ice was determined by measuring the time delay between radar echoes from the surface and those from the “bed” of the deposits The radar data indicates that the deposit is more than 3.7 kilometres thick in places, and that the material consists of nearly pure water ice with only a small component of dust
Crime investigation -brain mapping a new phenomenon
This technique is a relatively new phenomenon in India,and has an extremely high success rate.It is again performed in a controlled environment. No chemicals are used . Prof. C R Mukundan,former head of the department of mental health and neurosciences,Banglore , explains how this technique works.When a person performs an act in this case , a gruesome murder-the event is recorded in the brain is something called experential knowledge. by connecting electrodes to the head, brain signature mapping records the electrical activity and oscillations in the brain as a response to certain images he is shown. And can a person lie during such a procedure? unlike other process where questions are put to the subject,here no questions are asked,indeed,there is no need for verbal responses from the subject either ,so the issue of telling a lie doesnot arise.it's all do with the electrical impulses in the brain directly, and that's not something a person can control.

Ammerican's space mission play

Are you remembered, the viking space probes of 1976-77 were looking for water and life on red plannet Mars. the result was there is no water on the plannet.Now the latest Nasa mars study is revealing that there is a possibilty of water on the red plannet. new photographs of mars showed geologic changes that suggest water occasionally flows there-the most tantalising sign that mars is hospitable to life in the 70's the viking mission found no signs of life. but it was searching for earth like life,in which salt water is the internal liquid of living cells,given the cold dry conditions of mars that life could have evolved on Mars with the key internal fluid consisting of a mix of water and Hydrogen peroxide.The viking experiments of the 70's wouldn't have noticed alien hydrogen peroxide based life and in fact would have killed it by drowning and overheating the mocrobes.a new Nasa mars mission Phoenix is set for launch this summer, and one scientist involved said he is eager to test the new theory about life on mars. collected from timesof india

does draculla 's castle really exist?
That evening I was alone with my moments.I was young with very suspicious age with my problems.suddenly a horror atmosphere formed in my mind as well suurouning .oh the moments my mind totally diverted with Dracula.bruceelle"s style pictures are decorated with me .after that i was runing after with so many Dracula's stories.
Draculla 's castle does exist and known as the bran castle. that's because bran stoker ,who authored draculla ,based his fictional vampires castle on this one,located near brasov in romania. though there is no proof that vlad tepes ever lived there ,historicalaccounts suggest that he was imprisoned in its dungeon for two days by the trucks who had captured the area.
