Kansa ya Kizazi

8:59 PM | Labels:


Wanasayansi wanasema kuwa wanawake ambao hula chips au 'crips' kila siku wanaweza kuongeza mara mbili hatari ya kensa ya kizazi na ya ovari. Hatari hiyo inatokana na mada iitwayo acrylamide, ambayo hupatikana wakati wa kukaanga, kuoka au kuchoma vyakula mbalimbali. Wataalamu wa Kidachi wamewafanyia uchunguzi watu 120,000 juu ya tabia yao ya ulaji na kugundua kuwa wanawake ambao wanakula vyakula vyenye acrylamide, wanaonekana kukabiliwa na hatari zaidi ya kupatwa na aina hizo za saratani, Vyakula ambavyo vinapata rangi mbalimbali au kuungua wakati wa kupikwa vinaonekana kuwa na uwezekano mkubwa zaidi wa kuwa na acrylamide. Wataalamu wa vyakula wanasema kuwa, ni wazi kuwa haiwezekani kuondoa aina hizo za vyakula moja kwa moja katika lishe yetu. Uchunguzi kuhusiana na masuala hayo umeonyesha kuwa, wale ambao wanakula mikrogram 40 za acrylamide kwa siku ambayo ni sawa na nusu ya pakiti ya biskuti, sahani ya chipsi ya paketi moja ya crisp, basi wanakabiliwa na hatari ya kupatwa na kensa mara mbili zaidi ikilinganishwa na wale wanaokula acrylamide kwa kiasi kidogo zaidi ya hicho. Hata hivyo wataalamu wa uchunguzi huo wanawatoa shaka watu kwa kusema kuwa, matokeo ya uchunguzi huo yanapaswa kuthibitishwa zaidi na uchunguzi mwingine.

Jeli itokanayo na Nyanya.

8:55 PM | Labels:

Utafiti mpya uliofanywa kwa majaribio umegundua kuwa katika mbegu za nyanya kuna mada asilia, inayoweza kusadia mzungumzo wa kawaida wa damu na kuzuia damu isigande. Mada hiyo iliyoko kwenye mbegu za nyanya iligunduliwa mwaka 1999 na Profesa Adim Dutta-Roy. Jeli hiyo inayozunguka mbegu za nyanya, hunaweza kusaidia mzunguko wa damu.
Jeli hiyo isiyokuwa na rangi wala ladha, huzuia chembe za damu aina ya platelets zisishikane, suala ambalo hupunguza uwezekano wa damu kuganda, kama inavyofanya aspirini lakini bila kuwa na madhara.
Wachunguzi wa Uingereza wamesema kwamba, athari za geli hiyo huanza masaa matatu tangu inapoanza kutumiwa na kudumu kwa masaa 18, hivyo inahitaji kutumiwa kila siku.
Wataalamu hao wamependekeza kwamba, kuongeza jeli hiyo katika vyakula mbalimbali kunaweza kuepusha matumizi ya aspirini kwa ajili ya kuzuia hatari ya magonjwa ya mishipa ya moyo.

  1. Blusher,
  2. Eye Shadow,
  3. Eyebrow Color,
  4. Eyeliner,
  5. Face powder,
  6. Foundation,
  7. Lip brush,
  8. Lip liner,
  9. Lipstick,
  10. Mascara, and
  11. Moisturizer.
We will define the steps for daily or simple makeup here. For details, you can refer to our article for that particular product:

  1. Moisturize your face, especially people with dry skin.
  2. Apply foundation that matches your natural skin tone for a smooth skin effect.
  3. Apply powder for that flawless look to your face and matte down any shiny areas on your face. Gently tap the powder pad on the back of your hand before applying it on the face to shake off any excess powder.
  4. Blush adds color and freshens up your face instantly. See 'Applying Blush' for more details.
  5. Pluck your eyebrows, apply eye shadow, eyeliner and mascara and do eye makeup very very carefully. If you are not confident, leave this part out completely.

Jinsi Ya kuondoa Makovu

8:33 PM | Labels:


Kuna matatizo malimbali ya ngozi yanayoweza kuwapata watu ambapo makovu ni mojawapo ya matatizo hayo.Makovu baadhi ya wakati hajawezi kuepukika hasa iwapo makovu hayo yamesababishwa na magonjwa au ajali mbalimbali. Makovu katika sehemu mbalimbali za mwili huweza kufunikwa na kufichwa kwa urahisi iwapo hayapo katika sehemu zinazoonekena. Lakini iwapo makovu yatakuwa usoni, mikononi au kifuani, huwa si rahisi kuyaficha na mara nyingi huwakera wale walio na makovu. Watu wengi wangependa kujua ni njia gani ambazo mtu anaweza kutumia ili kuondoa makovu. Ili kulijibu swali hilo ni bora kwanza tujue kovu ni nini hasa. Kovu katika mwili hutokea pale tishu aina ya fibrous inapojikusanya juu ya ngozi ili kusaidia kukarabati seli na ngozi iliyoharibika. Wakati kunapotokea jeraha, ngozi kutoa seli ziitwazo fibroblasts ambazo hutoa kitu kiitwacho collagen na kujaza sehemu yenye jeraha. Collagen ni ngumu, iko kama ufumwele unaopatikana katika protini ambayo hujaza eneo lote le kovu. Collagen ipo pia katika ngozi ya kawaida lakini katika kovu huwa nyingi na iliyojipanga katika mpangilio holela. Hii ndio sababu kovu huwa na rangi iliyokolea na huonekana kwa urahisi. Baadhi ya makovu huondoka kwa urahisi, baadhi huchukua miezi na hata miaka, huku makovu mengine yakibadilika polepole rangi na muonekano wake. Kovu huenekana kirahisi juu ya ngozi kwa sababu seli zilizotumika kuunda kovu hutofautiana na seli za mwanzo za ngozi. Kwa mfano makovu yaliyo juu ya ngozi hayawezi kuota vinyeleo kwa kuwa seli zake hazina matundu ya vinyeleo. Pia makovu hayana uwezo wa kuzuia miale ya jua. Kwa bahati mbaya ni vigumu kidogo kuweza kuondoa baadhi ya makovu moja kwa moja katika ngozi. Ingawa kuna njia kama vile vipodozi vinavyoweza kuziba makofu na njia nyinginezo za kitiba, lakina hata hivyo njia zote hizo mara nyingi huwa haziwezi kuondoa baadhi ya makovu kabisa, hasa yale makovu yaliozama katika ngozi na kuharibu kwa ngozi kwa kiasi kikubwa. Njia za tiba zinazoweza kutumiwa kuondoa makovu ni kama vile operesheni ya Laser (laser sugery), sindano za steroid, kubandua ngozi ya juu (dermabrasion) na radio therapy.
Lakini hata hivyo kuna njia mbalimbali za tiba asilia ambazo zinaaminika kuweza kusaidia kuondosha makovu. Njia hizo ni kama


1. Majani ya Aloe Vera. Majani haya yanapatikana kila sehemu hasa kwetu Tanzania na kwingineko Afrika. Majani hayo pia ni dawa nzuri ya kutibu magonjwa mbalimbali ya ngozi kama vile kiba au kishilingi. Kata majani hayo na utumie utomvu wake kupaka katika makovu. Baada ya muda polepole itapunguza na kuondoa makovu. Aleo Vera ni majani ambayo yanasifika hivi sasa ulimwenguni kote kwa ajili ya ngozi na yanatumiwa katika vipondozi mbalimbali. Basi zaidi ya kukuondoa makovu, yatasaidia pia kuifanya ngozi yako iwe nyororo.
2. Njia nyingine ni kutumia tango. Twanga tango na tumia mchanganyiko wake kupaka juu ya kovu. Husaidia kulainisha makovu na unapotumia kwa muda mrefu huondoa makovu pia.
3. Kupaka asali juu ya kovu na kuiacha usiku kucha. Njia hii inaweza kurudiwa mara kwa mara hadi pale kovu litakapotoweka.
5. Kupaka baking soda kidogo na maji sehemu yenye kovu na kuikanda sehemu hiyo kwa dakika moja. Mara mbili kwa siku. Kisha safisha kwa maji ya vuguvugu halafu paka mafuta ya zaituni.

6. Kutumia cream zenye vitamini E nad C na upake moja kwa moja katika kovu. Husaidia ngozi kuota tena katika kovu. Unaweza kumuona mtaalamu wa magonjwa ya ngozi naye akakushauri ni cream gani utumie ili kuondoa makovu yako. Pia jitahidi kupata lishe nzuri bila kusahau matunda na mboga mboga ambayo ni muhimu kwa ajili ya afya ya ngozi. Kunywa maji ya kutosha kwani maji pia kulainisha ngozi yako na kufanya makovu kutoka kwa urahisi.

 Inafaa kujua kuwa baadhi ya makovu kama vile yaliyosababishwa na kuungua au kuchanjwa ni vigumu kuyaondoa kwa kutumia njia hizo zilizotajwa.

Introduction to PDA's

8:21 PM | Labels:


Introduction

A PDA (Personal Digital Assistant, also called a pocket organizer) is a pocket computer composed of a processor, RAM (Random Access Memory), a touch sensitive screen, and network functions bundled in an extremely small compact case.

PDA Use

A PDA is a pocket computer originally designed as an organizer. A personal assistant generally supplies the following standard applications:

    an agenda to organize time, with visual or mechanical reminders. Meetings or planned events can be contextualized in order to meet professional and personal requirements thanks to an adaptable classification system (office, private, etc.).
    a task manager that serves as a reminder for tasks to be done. The priority, deadlines or reminders can be assigned to each task.
    an address book (contact manager) that provides instant contact information (phone number, mailing address, email, etc.).
    email software that allows messages to be received and sent.


Personal assistants offer light versions of office automation tools such as text editors, spreadsheets, a calculator, and viewers for a wide variety of file formats (PDF files, images, etc).

In addition to these basic functions, more and more PDA’s offer advanced multimedia tools for playing videos (in different formats, including DivX format), music (notably in mp3 format) and Flash animation.

PDA’s are also used with increasing frequency for geo-referencing, mapping and road navigation by plugging them into a geo-reference device (GPS, Global Positioning System). In effect, it is possible to obtain a compatible, low cost and high performance GPS that helps with road navigation a using a map that continually displays the user’s location, speed and a visual representation of the road (eventually in 3D) with instructions both on-screen and from a synthesized voice.
Operating System

PDA’s have operating systems adapted to their screen resolution and whose features correspond to the characteristics of the device.

Many types of operating systems exist for PDA’s, usually different for each type of PDA and each manufacturer, the same as there are Mac and PC computers. The two main operating systems are:

    PalmOS, marketed by Palm.
    Windows Mobile or Pocket PC (formerly Windows CE), marketed by Microsoft.


These two systems have almost the same characteristics and the same functions, but with different methods of holding them and with incompatibilities between systems.

Note that there are Linux operating systems that were specifically developed for both types of machines.


Technical Characteristics

When purchasing a PDA, it is important to pay attention to the following characteristics:

    weight and size: PDA’s are designed to be carried everywhere and must therefore fit into hands and pockets. Its size and weight must be as small as possible, bearing in mind ergonomic requirements and screen size.
    autonomy: A PDA’s autonomy is a function of its battery’s characteristics.
        Ni-Cad (Nickel / Cadmium): a type rechargeable battery now obsolete due to its memory effect, meaning a progressive reduction of the maximum charge when it is recharged before being completely "empty".
        Ni-Mh (Nickel / Metal Hybrid): a type of rechargeable battery with higher performance than nickel-cadmium batteries.
        Li-Ion (Lithium / Ion): a type of rechargeable battery that is found in most computers. Li-Ion batteries give excellent performance for a moderate cost. As well, Li-Ion batteries do not suffer from memory effects, which means that they can be recharged before becoming completely empty.
        Li-Polymer (Lithium / Polymer): a type of rechargeable battery with performance similar to that of Li-Ion batteries, but made much lighter by replacing the electrolyte fluid and the micro-porous separator of Li-Ion batteries with a much lighter solid polymer. However, the recharging time is longer and their life expectancy is shorter.

What Laptop do you need?

8:09 PM | Labels:

Now a day’s most of the people those who are using desktop computers are moving to Laptop. Laptops are more expensive than the desktop computer, so we have to choice the best Laptop while purchasing. So we people should have a knowledge about the Laptop, if we does not have the knowledge about Laptop we cannot choice the correct Laptops.
So let’s see what are the things to consider when purchasing a Laptop?

 First of all we should decide the brand of the Laptop which we are going to purchase. To buy the best brand, choice any one of the brand from the below given brands.
SONY,HP,DELL,SAMSUNG,THOSHIBA,LENOVA and ACER.

 PROCESSOR
Processor is a very important chip in the Laptop mother board. The best processor in the present market is Intel Core i7. After this Intel Core i5 and Intel Core i3 are next best processor. If you’re ready to purchase an expensive Laptop, first of all choice a best brand and then choice the one of the given below processor.
Intel Core i7
Intel Core i5
Intel Core i3


If you decide to purchase a cheaper Laptop than the above mentioned, then you can choice either one of the processor.
Intel Core 2 Duo
Intel Dual Core

 If you select the lower quality processor than the above mentioned processors, it’s not suitable for the latest technology.
Next we should consider on Processor Speed. 1.60 GHz Speed and 2.0 GHz Speed processors are very slow. So choose 2.8 GHz speed or higher than this.

 RAM

 Next we should concentrate on RAM size. RAM size is responsible for computer speed, when we run more than 1 program at a time the computer will get slow. So if we want to run latest advanced programs, we should at least use 2GB RAM. If we have more than 2GB RAM your computer will have more speed.
Mostly latest laptop comes with DDR2 RAM, but DDR3 RAM is better than DDR2 RAM.
So if you wish, you can replace DDR2 RAM to DDR3 RAM.

HARD DISK
The Laptop which we are going to purchase should have at least a Hard-disk with capacity of 320GB. Because if we want to use the latest advanced software like Photoshop, CorelDraw we need at least 320GB Hard-disk. To save our data and files, we need this much of Hard-disk capacity. When selecting a Hard-disk, we must consider on Hard-disk Speed also.

The following Hard-disk Speeds are better to use in latest Laptop.
SPEED 7200RPM
SPEED 5400RPM
If your Hard-disk speed is less than above mention speed, select one of the Hard-disk from above mentioned.



DVD DRIVE
If you’re buying a branded Laptop you don’t want to care a lot about DVD drive. Because mostly branded Laptop comes with suitable DVD drive.

 GRAPHIC CARD
When purchasing a Laptop the next important thing to consider is Graphic Card. It’s important because if you’re using Photoshop, CorelDraw, playing a video game or if you wish to watch HD Videos in your Laptop, you should have quality Graphic card.

When you select a Graphic Card another important thing to consider is whether it is “Dedicated Graphic Card” or “Integrated Graphic Card”.
“Dedicated Graphic Card” is much better than “Integrated Graphic Card”. If “Dedicated Graphic Card” is fixed in your Laptop, while playing high quality games the Laptop wont get slow.

 OPERATING SYSTEM
Next select the Operating System for your Laptop. In the latest Laptops, mostly Windows 7 installed as operating system. But Windows 7 has different versions.

 Windows 7 Ultimate
Windows 7 Professional
Windows 7 Home premium
Windows 7 Home basic
Windows 7 Starter version
