January 30, 2008EXTREME TECHNOLOGY ON FUTURE
January 27, 2008Due to the extreme technology coming in the near future the life of the people would surely be more comforts and full of luxury. Imagine that you travel via train, airport or any other mean of transportation, you exit the platform and found the cars or scooters stacked together just like a line of trolleys at the airport. You pick the first available car and moved towards you office. At work, you simply stack the vehicle along with the rest in the parking area. And you follow the same procedure on the way back to home. And I forgot to tell you that the car which you will drive will be without staring and the scooter is foldable…. Really. They are energy efficient, clean, compact and simple, and that’s making very cool to the people that use it. US researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s ‘smart cities’ project, headed by William J Mittchell have already built a prototype of the scooter, and will soon unveil one of the car, in a bid to design the urban transport of the near by future. THE CITY CAR
The City Car is a stackable, electric, two-passenger vehicle, designed to be used in dense urban areas around the globe. The idea is a revolutionary one in technology. Not only will the City Car be a shared vehicle that can be picked up and dropped off at convenient urban locations- such as bus stops or train stations- but it will also incorporate a totally new way of thinking about how to build a car which will not pollute the nature around them: All the essential mechanical system will be housed in the car’s wheels.
There is no engine, at least in the traditional sense. The power comes from the devices called ‘WHEEL ROBOTS’, which are self-contained, digitally controlled robotic wheels, complete with their own suspension and having simple connections to the car body. The city car design eliminates the need for traditional engine blocks, gearboxes, differentials, or even a steering wheel. Plus it allows for extraordinary manoeuvrability: the wheels can turn a full 360 degrees, making it a lot easier to park in really tight urban spaces.
The car tiny size and agility allow much more efficient use of scare road, street and parking space. The traditional dashboard, it will also be equipped with computer screens that have sophisticated urban search and navigation capabilities, while mechanical information is mostly sent to the system operator. It is very lightweight, all electric, contolled digitally, almost silent and pollution free car which will help the globe in many ways to minimize the use of gas and other harmful chemical.
THE SMART SCOOTER
The scooter which can be folded and can be placed in any small area in the house or in the garage .The new scooter – built in collaboration with SYM, a major scooter manufacture in Taiwan, and ITRI, Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute. All about providing a clean, green, silent electric scooter that would provide, even better, the same kind of urban mobility.
Thanks to WHEEL ROBOTS, the scooter’s prototype can be folded up to about half its size making it even easier to store in crowded urban cities around the globe. In very dense cities of world where scooter parking is a major problem, the small size is a very big advantage for the scooter. When the scooter is folded, it can also be easily wheeled along like a trolley suitcase, and is no larger, thus making the scooter easy to be places on trains while traveling or even indoor if necessary. The simplified design help to keep the production cost below. As the typical scooter have 1000 parts, this scooter have only 150 parts. The design of the scooter is also an important feature getting the new concept to be adopted because people want to look good on it. The team has come up with two of its scooter models. One with feature of folding and another with normal scooter available in market. The simplest model is being produce for only those regions where the low cost is most important and space restriction are not as crucial like in other dense region.
John Rambo 4 review
January 27, 2008 
The boxing under-dog and a war-veteran-turned-mercenary John Rambo(Sylvester stallone) in the Rambo 4 his latest release. Sylvester Stallone broke not only the norms of industry but also box office records. The real life story of Stallone from rag-to-riches story of determination and standing by his Convictions in the face of advertising made him an instant hero. Being the fan of his, I have no words to express my view on the greatest hero of all time, the greatness he does on films as an actor or outside as a celebrity. At 60 plus he has reprises his role as John Rambo in the 4th installment of the Rambo series. Sylvester has proved that his performance as an action hero, AGE NO BAR!!!
The Vietnam War veteran John Rambo returns on an urgent rescue mission but this time in Myanmar. If you pay a close attention you will notice the head being blow away, a body being spites in to pieces and stomach being sliced to bring all the material of inside. With all this bloodletting action is done obviously by our action pack hero Sylvester Stallone. What is best to see is that there is not a twitch of facial muscle or a flicked on his brow while doing the scene on movie.
Film is for those who are die-hearted fan of Rambo movies which include me. The hunk Rambo’s exploits in first blood, his fourth blood heroics may bring back the memories of the cold and clinical killer machine, which does it for countries justice and honor. He come from the semi-retirement this time which was just like what he does in his recent film Rocky Balboa movie. He joins the American bunch who supply relief to the endanger tribes, which are hounded by the military villains. This is already seen in many All-American’s films, which indeed create our own hero of the film to flight for justice. The Myanmar natives are ruthless and mean. The white guys are heroes and are vigilant with the white women in the film she’s meant to be held captive and wail through the violence.
Rating: 8/10
Conclusion: The droopy eyes and lazy drawl has gone far cry as the Sylvester has perform the role of his last sequence of Rambo series very well and fantastic. The film will forget you about the old-fashioned story-line. The Rambo franchise is only meant to make you dizzy about the action. The performance of the one of the greatest action in Hollywood has justified the role of his movie series. The important part is the direction done in the movie is quite fantastic.
CURE FOR PARALYSIS ?
January 22, 2008In a new way to help people paralysis by spinal cord injury, US scientists have discovered that there are alternative ways for signals to go from the brain to the limbs for movement. Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles, have for the first time succeeded in restoring the ability of walking in mice paralysed by spinal cord injuries. The Researchers says that their discovery could lead to new therapies for people who suffer from similar conditions. Spinal cord injury involves damage to the nerves enclosed with in the spinal column. Most injuries result from trauma to the backbone. This affects the brain’s ability to send and receives messages below the injury site to the systems that control breathing, movement and digestion problems. Patients generally experience greater paralysis when the injury strikes higher in to the spinal column. Until now, doctor believed that the only way for injured patients to walk again is to re-grow the long nerve highways that link the brain and base of the spinal cord. The new study, published in this month’s Nature, shows that the central nervous system can reorganize itself and follow new pathways to restore the cellular communication required for movement. When the spinal cord damage blocked direct signal from the brain, under certain conditions the messages were able to make detour around the injury. The message would follow a series of shorter connections to deliver the brain’s command to move the legs. Using a mouse model, the scientists blocked half of the long nerve fibers in different places and at different times on each side of the spinal cord. They left untouched the spinal cord’s centre, which contains a connected series of shorter nerve pathways. The latter convey information over short distance up and down the spinal cord. The researchers were excited to see that most of the mice regained the ability to control their legs with eight weeks. The mice started walking more slowly and less confidently than before their injury, but still recovered mobility. When the researchers blocked the short nerve pathways in the centre of the spinal cord, the regained function disappeared, returning the animal’s paralysis.

This step confirmed that the nervous system had rerouted messages from the brain to the spinal cord via the shorter pathways and that these nerve cells were critical to the animal’s recovery. The researchers said they now hope to figure out how to encourage nerve cells in the spinal cord to grow and form new pathways that connect across or around an injury, permitting the brain to direct these cells and avert paralysis.
Guitar Style

José González
A Very GOOD Must listen album that i have to recoment is Jose Gonzalez’s In Our Nature and Cornelius latest album
Sensuous. Jose indie-rock album features better lyrics than any of the album that i have heard recently.
Like it;s preceeding album, this too is a collection of sparse acoustic recordings. but on the other hand, I personally
found the music more atmospheric and even more thoughtful.Jose gentle vocals and a unique guitar styles
really impress me and I think it must be loved by any other music lover too.As for the cornelius is concent, i think nobody
would messes around with the guitar ae well as he can and it’s quite inspiring the wayhe does it.
he has quite playfully uses his instruments in fact some of the instrument pieces left me spellbound.There are many more songs of Jose Gonzalez’s and Cornelius on youtube.com

living legend of jazz -Herbie Hancock
January 13, 2008Herbie Hancock is the greatest player of jazz our generation has even known according to me.
I’ve been the great admirers of the legendary legend;that’s why I couldn’t possibly to miss his latest
album dedicated to Joni Mitchell.It’s called River-The Joni Letters.This album is not very concentional, not
only for it’s aesthetics but also for the fact that it’s all tracts feature a diverse variety of sound-from Norah
Jones and Tina Turner to Joni Mitchell herself. Joni Mitchell itself had music of a very ‘rocky’feel,which makes
this dedication by a ‘pianist’ even more interesting to listen those sound track. since he has influence a lot of jazz
musician in the last generation, this album is a must for the youngster today.So I suggest to all the jazz listener to listen
to the sound tracks of the latest album of the living legend of jazz Herbie Hancock.
