Story Time - A Husband and Wife..

A man feared his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he
thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach
her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem. The Doctor
told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to
give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss.

Here's what you do," said the Doctor, "stand about 40 feet away from
her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears
you.
If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and s o on until you get a
response."

That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was
in the den. He says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away, let's see
what happens."
Then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?"

No response.

So the husband moves to closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his
wife and repeats, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

Still no response.

Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his

wife and asks, Honey, what's for dinner?"

Again he gets no response so,

He walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. "Honey, what's
for dinner?"

Again there is no response.

So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for dinner?"

Moral of the story:
The problem may not be with the other one as we always think,
could be very much within us..!

தண்ணீர் மட்டுமல்ல சந்திரனில் வெள்ளியும் கண்டுபிடிப்பு

          
           பூமியில் இருந்து 2 லட்சத்து 50 ஆயிரம் மைல் தூரத்தில் உள்ளது சந்திரன். மனிதர்கள் வாழ்வதற்கு மிகத் தேவையான காற்று, தண்ணீர் ஆகியவை இல்லை. எனவே, சந்திரனுக்கு செல்வது இயலாத செயல் என்று ஒரு காலத்தில் கருதப்பட்டது.

          சமீபத்திய ஆய்வுகள் மூலம் சந்திரனில் தண்ணீர் இருப்பதற்கான வாய்ப்பு இருப்பது அறியப்பட்டுள்ளது. இந்நிலையில்,  தண்ணீர் மட்டும் இல்லாமல், வெள்ளி, கார்பன் டை ஆக்சைடு உள்ளிட்ட தனிமங்களும்  அதிகளவில் அங்கு கலவையாக இருப்பது தற்போது கண்டுபிடிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.

Facts About "Pink Eye"

Conjunctivitis, known as "pink eye", is an inflammation of the thin, transparent membrane covering the inner eyelid and the white part of the eye known as the conjunctiva. Symptoms of this condition can include:

• redness of the eyes,
• eye pain,
• blurred vision,
• sensitivity to light,
• burning or itching of the eye,
• a scratchy feeling in the eye and,
• a discharge that may be watery or may contain pus.

Conjunctivitis may begin in one eye but often spreads to involve both eyes.
The term pink eye is most commonly used to refer to the infectious (viral or bacterial) type of conjunctivitis, but conjunctivitis may also result from allergic reactions or from chemical irritants such as air pollution, smoke, or noxious fumes. Rarely, underlying chronic medical conditions including systemic lupus erythematosus or rheumatoid arthritis can cause a persistent conjunctivitis. The infectious form of conjunctivitis is very common in children and is highly contagious.
Children and adults who develop infectious pink eye should see a doctor to determine whether antibiotic treatment is necessary. Most cases of infectious pink eye are caused by viruses and will not respond to antibiotic treatment. In these instances, the discharge from the eye is clear and watery and symptoms of a cold may be present. Viral pink eye infections usually last from about seven to ten days.
Bacterial pink eye generally results in a large amount of discharge that is green to yellow in color. This discharge can accumulate at night and make opening the eye difficult in the morning. Bacterial pink eye requires treatment with antibiotic eye drops to help the body remove the bacterial infection, and sometimes oral antibiotics are also given if the infection is causing symptoms in other parts of the body. Antibiotic administration will generally cure the infection in three to five days. Application of warm washcloths to the eye area is effective in removing discharge.
Pink eye is spread through direct contact with infected persons. To reduce the chance of spreading infectious pink eye, those affected should avoid touching the eye area and wash their hands frequently, particularly before applying medications to the eye area. Sharing of towels, washcloths, cosmetics, or eye drops can also spread the infection.
