...The most intriguing health trivia: The human body is like a machine that is full of wonder. Here is a collection of unusual health trivia — ranging from anatomy facts to medical anecdotes gathered from various sources. • The human brain cell can hold five times as much information as the Encyclopedia Britannica. • The average number of nerve cells (neurons) in the brain is 100 billion. • The brain is soft and gelatinous — its consistency is something between jelly and cooked pasta. • Though it makes up only two percent of our total body weight, the brain demands 20 percent of the body’s oxygen and calories. • The time until unconsciousness after loss of blood supply to the brain is about eight to 10 seconds. (So don’t let anybody squeeze your neck.) • Nerve impulses to and from the brain travel as fast as 170 miles per hour. • The hearing range for a young adult human is 20 to 20,000 Hz. For an elderly person, hearing is less at 50 to 8,000 Hz. In contrast, a cat can hear better at 100 to 60,000 Hz, and a dolphin has the widest hearing range at 200 to 150,000 Hz. • The auditory pain threshold is 130 Db. The threshold for hearing damage is 90 Db for an extended period of time. A rocket launching pad is equivalent to 180 Db, a jet plane to 140 Db, an automobile horn to 120 Db, a nagging wife up to 75 Db, and a soft whisper, 30 Db. Interestingly, the sound of a snore (up to 69 decibels) can be almost as loud as the noise of a drill. • There are 9,000 taste buds...

...Inventec Corporation Whoever owns the distribution channel owns the business. We are just the guys behind the scenes . - Inventec executive Louis Woo In Inventec Corp.'s gleaming new manufacturing compound on the outskirts of Shanghai's Pudong district, six automated assembly lines hummed with state of the art equipment. Hermetically sealed machines dispensed adhesive onto tiny boards. ext, high speed machines picked micro chip components off tapes and placed them onto the boards. Other machines soldered, cleaned and tested, until the guts of a notebook personal computer (PC) popped out to be encased in black plastic or metallic silver by human hands. Each line produced a new notebook computer every 16 seconds, for a combined output of 13,500 PCs per day . However, none of these PCs carried the Inventec name. Instead, the notebooks produced in this Chinese factory bore the brand logos of three competing multinational computer companies. Each PC was packaged in a brand manufacturer box, and shipped to client distribution centers around the world. Some were shipped via UPS from the Shanghai factory directly to consumers in the United States, with return address labels bearing the name and U.S. address of the brand company. Inventec, with annual revenues topping 150 billion ew Taiwan Dollars (NT$)a and market capitalization valued at over $1 billion, was one of Taiwan's leading Original Design Manufacturers (ODM). ODMs designed and manufactured electronic products such as computers...

...DIFFERENT TYPES OF AIRCRAFT ENGINE AIR INLET Air intake (inlet) — For subsonic aircraft, the inlet is a duct which is required to ensure smooth airflow into the engine despite air approaching the inlet from directions other than straight ahead. This occurs on the ground from cross winds and in flight with aircraft pitch and yaw motions. The duct length is minimized to reduce drag and weight.[1] Air enters the compressor at about half the speed of sound so at flight speeds lower than this the flow will accelerate along the inlet and at higher flight speeds it will slow down. Thus the internal profile of the inlet has to accommodate both accelerating and diffusing flow without undue losses. For supersonic aircraft, the inlet has features such as cones and ramps to produce the most efficient series of shockwaves which form when supersonic flow slows down. The air slows down from the flight speed to subsonic velocity through the shockwaves, then to about half the speed of sound at the compressor through the subsonic part of the inlet. The particular system of shockwaves is chosen, with regard to many constraints such as cost and operational needs, to minimize losses which in turn maximizes the pressure recovery at the compressor. An intake, or especially for aircraft inlet, is an air intake for an engine. Because the modern internal combustion engine is in essence a powerful air pump, like the exhaust system on an engine, the intake must be carefully engineered and tuned...

...details were relatively limited, the companies said that Toyota owners who register with Toyota Friend will be connected “with their cars, their dealership, and with Toyota,” and will have access through the network to product information and maintenance tips. If an owner’s hybrid vehicle is running short on battery power, for instance, the Toyota Friend network will alert that customer to the condition via a short message similar to those exchanged on Twitter, according to the statement. Members will be able to access the community through smartphones, tablet computers, and other mobile devices. In recent years, many companies have rushed to establish a presence in the greenfields of social networks such as Facebook and LinkedIn, creating communities of customers and fans there. Toyota’s new CRM effort is distinctive because of its closed nature and its reliance on telematics, which connects a driver directly to information on a car’s status. “To date, [Toyota Motor Co.] has developed its own telematics services to connect people, cars, and their surroundings,” the statement read. “Through Toyota Friend, TMC aims to offer its telematics services worldwide. Moving forward, TMC plans to advance toward the realization of future mobility by teaming up proactively with global IT companies.” Toyota President Akio Toyoda said this latest iteration of customer relationship management is a natural evolution for the auto industry. "Social networking services are transforming human...

...INTRO Imagine this...you just gave a stellar presentation at your company’s monthly meeting. You were nervous, but you don’t think anyone really noticed...so you confidently head back to your seat at the conference table, Patting yourself on the back, and as you go to sit down the chair rolls from right underneath you and you PLOP..right on the floor..and it that wasn’t enough.... as you fell, you kind of let out this yell of several obscenities! Something like a Oh Shhh...OH Fffffff...something like that! You look up from the floor.. and your Boss is there..your Boss’s Boss is there, and that person you've been trying to Holla at for months from Accounting...There’s always someone from accounting your trying Holla out..Anyway...There you are ON the Floor...time has actually stood still....Well What do you do? Do you get up and run crying out the room? Do you get up quickly and sit in the chair and try to pretend nothing happened....Or do you...take a moment..then lift your hands up and say...THank you..I do all my Stunts.....Well according to an article written in Psychology Today by sociologist Erving Goffman...”It’s not the embarrassing moment that makes or brakes us...IT’s the recovery...It’s how we recover” People will remember our reaction, more than they will remember the actually embarrassing moment! Now lets face it..Everyone has had a moment when they wish they could just disappear right then and there. Unfortunately, it is not that easy!But once we learn how to...
