Mobile system promises free calls
TerraNet hope their network will become a standard featureA new way of making calls directly between phones, for free, is being trialled by a Swedish company.
It is hoping to dramatically improve communications in the developing world.
Swedish company TerraNet has developed the idea using peer-to-peer technology that enables users to speak on its handsets without the need for a mobile phone base station.
The technology is designed for remote areas of the countryside or desert where base stations are unfeasible.
Projects backed by TerraNet recently launched in Tanzania and Ecuador.
TerraNet founder Anders Carlius told the BBC World Service's Digital Planet programme that the idea for TerraNet came when he was on safari in Tanzania in 2002, and found that poor connectivity meant he could not ring friends riding in another jeep only a few metres away.
"I started thinking, 'couldn't we get phone-to-phone without needing any other equipment, and actually have real voice communication, like a telephone call, between units?'" he said.

PODCANTING
A podcast is a digital media file, or a series of such files, that is distributed over the Internet using syndication feeds for playback on portable media players and personal computers. A podcast is a specific type of webcast which, like 'radio', can mean either the content itself or the method by which it is syndicated; the latter is also termed podcasting.
The host or author of a podcast is often called a podcaster. The term "podcast" is a portmanteau of the name of Apple's portable music player, the iPod, and broadcast; a "pod" refers to a container of some sort, and "cast" to the idea of broadcasting.
In other words, a podcast is a collection of files (usually audio and video) residing at a unique web feed address.
People can "subscribe" to this feed by submitting the feed address to an aggregator (like iTunes - software that runs on the consumer's computer). When new "episodes" become available in the podcast they will be automatically downloaded to that users computer. Unlike radio or streaming content on the web, podcasts are not real-time.
There is no live broadcast of content, the material is pre-recorded and users can check out the material at their leisure, offline.

Jerjes I (c. 519-465 a.C.), king of Persia (486-465 a.C.), son of Darío I and Atosa, daughter of Ciro II the Great one. Jerjes, member of the dynasty of the Aqueménidas, raised the throne to the death of its father, it eliminated a rebellion in Egypt and later it passed three years preparing a great fleet and an army to punish the Greeks to help to the cities jonias in the 498 a.C and by their victory over the Persians in Maratón in the 490 a.C. The Greek historian Heródoto bases the naval and terrestrial force of Jerjes in the incredible number of 2.641.610 soldiers. One says that Jerjes crossed the Helesponto (present Straits of the Dardanelles) through a boat bridge of more of a kilometer of length and that made a channel in the isthmus of the Athos mount. During the spring of the 480 a.C., in the beginning of the second Medical War, Jerjes marched with its forces through Thrace, Tesalia and Lócrida. In the passage of the Termópilas, Spartan king Leónidas I and his army defended the place valiantly, delaying the Persian advance ten days. Jerjes later continued towards the Ática and burned Athens, that had been left by the Greeks. Nevertheless, in the battle of Salamina in the 480 a.C., its fleet was defeated by a much smaller contingent of Greek boats military commanded by the Temístocles athenian. Then Jerjes retired to Smaller Asia, leaving to its army in Greece under the command of its brother-in-law, Mardonio, that died in Silverplates the following year. Jerjes was assassinated in Persépolis by the captain of the palace guard; his son Artajerjes I happened to him (who reigned in 465-425 a.C.). Jerjes normally is identified like Ahasuerus in Libro de Esther.

SAHARA
The Sahara (Arabic: الصحراء الكبرى, "The Great Desert") is the world's largest hot desert, and second largest desert after Antarctica. At over 9,000,000 km² ,it is almost as large as the United States, and is larger than the 48 contiguous states. The Sahara defines the borders of North Africa and has an intermittent history that may go back as much as 2.5 million years. The name is an English rendition of as-ṣaḥrā, the Arabic word for "desert".
History
By 6000 BC predynastic Egyptians in the southwestern corner of Egypt were herding cattle and constructing large buildings. Subsistence in organized and permanent settlements in predynastic Egypt by the middle of the 6th millennium BC centered predominantly on cereal and animal agriculture: cattle, goats, pigs and sheep. Metal objects replaced prior ones of stone. Tanning of animal skins, pottery and weaving are commonplace in this era also. There are indications of seasonal or only temporary occupation of the Al Fayyum in the 6th millennium BC, with food activities centering on fishing, hunting and food-gathering. Stone arrowheads, knives and scrapers are common .Burial items include pottery, jewelry, farming and hunting equipment, and assorted foods including dried meat and fruit. The dead are buried facing due west.

ILL TREATMENT OR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
This is when a nomber of the family usually - husbands,partner, ex partner tries to phisically or phychologically dominate or hurt the other person.
It is mainly violence of men to women, but it can also be women to men.
Women now have more rights & help to get out of this situation .But many women don't protest & think it is normal tratment.
Here in Spain in the year 2007 at least 9 wemen have been killed by their partners.
Most of them were in the process of divorce or had an "Order of withdrawal".
i got the imformation from : wikipedia
Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stuffing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose a future. Choose life... I got this information from here --> You can see the translation here |

The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, for example) trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth’s average temperature would be about 60ºF colder. Because of how they warm our world, these gases are referred to as greenhouse gases.
