How to make your clothes from shrinking?


Housewives' perennial concern is how to buy clothes that don't shrink at the first wash. Assuming that you buy with a guarantee that won't shrink, you might still face the vexing issue.

Are there ways to solve this long standing problem?

I was told by a visiting foreigner that launderers add some chemical at the time of washing which would prevent the clothes from shrinking. I could check what the chemical is that is added. If it is true, it would be a big invention worth mentioning.

Recently, I read in a local magazine that a sort of water soluble chemical would cause the fabric to swell which would naturally prevent the cloth from shrinking-eh?

Well, so many opinions but the real solution would be to invent a fiber that would never shrink. What do you say?

Cure found out for Brain cancer.

Do you think Fark.com stands up to the reputation that surrounds it as a source of news material?

I keep reading rave reviews about Fark.com, a social news aggregator of amusing stories submitted by hoards of new enthusiasts.

I dug and dug but I came out empty handed. Nothing inspired me to write. May be I should look elsewhere to blog about for this blog of amusing and fun facts and news. However, the sources of news in Fark are quite note worthy that include Reuters, MSNBC, CNN among other major players of world news.

Cure found our for Brain cancer
oh! I got something at last from Fark that is news worthy. At the Alberta University, a few researchers have found that a drug called Dichloroacetate (DCA) may cure a form a Brain cancer which is generally considered as one of the deadliest human diseases.

Glioblastoma.
Oh, do you want to know the name of the brain cancer? It is called ' glioblastoma'.

The report is published at the journal Science Translational Medicine......

Topamax causing kidney stones.

Cases of Topamax birth defect are already well known in the health and medico-legal circles but of late, I read that side effects of Topamax include kidney stone developments too.

Initially, my reaction when I read the negative effects of a drug approved by FDA was very human. A few emails responding to my caustic remarks directed me to several discussions that reported satisfactory feedback after using Topamax.

I have learnt to mellow down and restrained to blog immediately after I come to know of injustice arisen due to no fault.

After all, who am I to cry ‘foul’ when I am in no position to offer solace to the victims of Topamax or any other medicine? Such cases are expertly handled by O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath-specialist legal firm in handling personal injury cases.

The future of your existing web address.

This news about IP address get rarer should be taken seriously by every webmaster, blogger and casual net browser.

New blogs and websites are being launched in millions every month and this may cause the present number of 32 bit binary iP addresses getting running out and we will face the dark alley by the year 2010.

Is there a solution? If so, what we all should do?

Vint Cerf, the Father Of Internet urges users to switch to next generation of net addresses to stay connected. This is no joke dear as the world is on the verge of running out of the web addresses that allow computers to identify and communicate with each other.

The implications are damn serious leading to many computers that can't go online and the connectivity of the Internet might be damaged.

But what we are expected to do? Isn't that the responsibility of Internet Service Providers?
True indeed! Cerf and his colleagues devised the Internet system in 1977, and he set in place “Internet protocol version four” (IPv4) which provided 4.2 billion addresses. Each IPv4 address is a series of 32 binary digits. However, with the boost in the number of Internet-enabled devices, especially mobile phones, less than 14% of those addresses remain vacant.

Before this runs out scientists have already kept aside a new system, called IPv6, which has been ready for implementation for more than a decade. Under IPv6, each address has 128 bits and so provides 340 trillion, trillion, trillion different addresses — that is 340,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 0,000.

Both the protocol systems will run simultaneously and IPv4 addresses will still work as normal. But if the IPv6 is not widely adopted, then those using it may find themselves unable to connect across the whole Internet.

We all should be aware of what is going and we warned to start checking that the products we buy are IPv6 compatible.
