MemTest 2007-11-20 22:11:03 MemTest is a RAM reliability tester that runs under Windows. It evaluates the ability of your computer's memory to store and retrieve data accurately. A correctly functioning computer should be able to do both these tasks with 100% accuracy day in and day out. A computer that fails these tests, perhaps because of old hardware, damaged hardware, or poorly configured hardware, will be less stable and crash more often. Even worse, it will become even less stable over time as corrupted data is written to your hard disk.By running MemTest you can ensure that your computer's RAM is correctly functioning. It is wise to test this when you buy a new computer, install new RAM, or change the configuration of your machine (for instance, to overclock it). Are you the sort of user who likes to push the performance of your machine to the edge? Relying upon whether your machine will boot after your new BIOS tweaks is a poor way to determine the safety of your new settings. Use MemTest as a true te ...

Once You Get Into a US College, Where Should You Live? 2007-11-19 20:34:08 We continue our Foreign Student Series on higher education in the United States. We have talked all about the college admissions process. Now we move on to college life once you get accepted to a school. The first thing you need is a place to live. That is our subject this week.Housing policies differ from school to school. Students might be able to choose whatever housing they can find. Or they might have to live in a dormitory, at least for the first year.Dorms come in all sizes. A building may house a small number of students or many hundreds. Some have suites. Each suite has several bedrooms, a common living area and a bathroom. Six or more students may live in one suite.Other dorms have many rooms along a common hallway, usually with two students in each room.Many students say dormitories provide the best chance to get to know other students. Also, dorms generally cost less than apartments or other housing not owned by the school.Most colleges and universities offer single-sex dor ...

Test May Show Heart Patients' Risk | Napping to a Healthier Heart? 2007-11-19 20:32:09 Researchers say they have developed a simple test that can tell if a person with heart disease is likely to suffer a heart attack. The test measures levels of a protein in the blood. The researchers say people with high levels of this protein are at high risk of heart attack, heart failure or stroke.Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo of the University of California in San Francisco led the team. For about four years, they studied almost one thousand patients with heart disease.The researchers tested the heart disease patients for a protein called NT-proBNP. Patients with the highest levels were nearly eight times more likely than those with the lowest levels to have a heart attack, heart failure or stroke.The researchers say the presence of high levels of the protein in the blood shows that the heart muscle is under pressure in some way. The study involved mostly men, so the researchers could not say for sure that the results are also true for women.They say the patients with the highest levels o ...

Eye to Eye With an Elephant, and Watching for Hungry Crocs, on Safari in Africa 2007-11-19 20:30:11 Today we go on safari to experience the sights and sounds of Africa’s rich wildlife.

Maker of Cervical Cancer Vaccine Stops Pushing to Require It for Girls 2007-11-19 20:27:33 This week, the drug company Merck announced that it would end a lobbying campaign for Gardasil, its new vaccine for girls and women.The vaccine is designed to protect against four kinds of human papillomavirus, or HPV. These cause about seventy percent of cervical cancers and ninety percent of genital warts.The development of the vaccine has been widely praised. But Merck faced growing criticism for its push for states to require schoolgirls to be vaccinated with Gardasil. The company says the criticism was interfering with its goal of widespread use of the vaccine.The United States Food and Drug Administration approved Gardasil last June for females age nine to twenty-six.At least twenty of the fifty state legislatures have begun to consider some form of Gardasil requirement. In Texas, Governor Rick Perry has ordered that beginning in two thousand eight, girls eleven and twelve years old must be vaccinated with Gardasil. But parents could choose not to, if they object for religious or ... Cancer

Ida Tarbell, 1857-1944 : She Used Her Reporting Skills Against One of the Most Powerful Companies in the World 2007-11-19 20:25:29 Every week we tell about a person who was important in the history of the United States. Today Shirley Griffith and Ray Freeman tell about reporter Ida Minerva Tarbell.Ida Tarbell was one of the most successful magazine writers in the United States during the last century. She wrote important stories at a time when women had few social or political rights.Ida Tarbell used her reporting skills against one of the most powerful companies in the world. That company was Standard Oil. Ida Tarbell charged that Standard Oil was using illegal methods to hurt or destroy smaller oil companies.She investigated these illegal business dealings and wrote about them for a magazine called McClure's. The reports she wrote led to legal cases that continued all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States.Ida Tarbell was born in the eastern state of Pennsylvania in November, eighteen fifty-seven. Her family did not have much money. Her father worked hard but had not been very successful.When Ida was ...

How to Help Foods Keep Their Cool 2007-11-19 20:23:24 Before refrigerators, homes usually had ice boxes. But another way to keep food cool without the need for electricity is to use an evaporative cooler. This is easy to make and does not even use ice.A common design is a tall box with food placed on several shelves inside. The shelves are pieces of metal with many small holes through them. The sides of the box are covered with pieces of thick cloth.Containers of water are placed at the top and bottom of the cooler. The ends of each piece of cloth lie in the water so the cloth stays wet.Put the cooler in the open air but not in the sun. Air will pass through the wet cloth. The inside of the box will stay several degrees cooler than the outside air temperature. And this may be cool enough to keep foods fresh at least for a short time.Cold storage in a freezer, however, can keep foods in good condition for months after the growing season. Yet foods can be damaged if they are kept too cold.The British development group Practical Action says ...

Halloween - Fright Night 2007-11-13 21:27:13 Dressing up as ghouls or attending a “haunted house” party, the youth have taken to Halloween.Halloween has been growing in popularity and been widely embraced by the Vietnamese over the last few years.While its appeal shows no signs of slowing down, however, the annual fright-night is arguably still more popular with Westerners.Though not as popular as the Christmas holidays or Western New Year’s celebrations, there are still a number of Halloween events planned in large cities.Most Halloween festivities are organized by municipal hotels, restaurants or recreation venues, which aim to create a fun and exciting time for Westerners who live and work in Vietnam.Last year, Ho Chi Minh City's five-star Windsor Plaza Hotel hosted a four-day-long Halloween celebration that included a lively parade and masquerade competition for its participants.At the Windsor’s Cafe Central Restaurant this year, a huge seasonal buffet is planned including savory dishes with a ghoulish theme.Windsor ...

Non La - Form, function, fashion 2007-11-07 02:54:27 Form and function come together in beautiful harmony when it comes to the Vietnamese non la, or “leaf hat”.A simple, conical hat originating in Asia – most notably in the countries of Vietnam, China and Japan – the distinctive, multi-functional head piece has become a national symbol representing the hard-working spirit of Vietnam and its people.The non la is also a symbol of Vietnamese femininity and adds an air of mystery and attractiveness to young women whose long, dark hair flows out from under the brim.Many a poet and composer have been inspired by the simple yet intriguingly beautiful and unique design of the non la.The time-honored conical hat is fashioned out of bamboo, coconut leaves or buong (a type of palm leaf).Fresh leaves are picked when they are young and soft, and then exposed to the night-time dew to further tenderize them.When they are soft enough to flatten, they are ironed with hot cast-iron sheets which allow the leaves to retain their natural color and ke ...

Polar Research to Look for Answers About Climate Change 2007-11-05 01:19:09 This week, an American study shows a link between air pollution and heart disease. We will tell you about it. We also will tell about preparations for the International Polar Year. And, we tell about a competition to fight climate change.A new study shows that air pollution may be more of a risk for heart disease than scientists have thought. The research involved more than sixty-five thousand women in the United States.Kristin Miller was the lead writer of the study. She says the study showed that disease risk was linked not just to which city a woman lived in, but also where in a city.The study found that estimates of the effects of air pollution were often larger within cities than between cities. Yet averages between cities have served as the main measure of the long-term effects of pollutants.The findings lead some experts to suggest that current pollution limits may not be strong enough.The research team examined rates of heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular events in wo ...

Study Warns of Heart Disease Danger From Dirty Air 2007-11-05 01:16:41 A new study shows that air pollution may be more of a risk for heart disease than scientists have thought. The research involved more than sixty-five thousand women in the United States.Kristin Miller, a doctoral student at the University of Washington in Seattle, was the lead author of the study. She says the study showed that disease risk was related not just to which city a woman lived in, but also where in the city.The study found that estimates of the effects of air pollution were often larger within cities than between cities. Yet averages between cities have served as the main measure of the long-term effects of pollutants.The new findings lead some experts to suggest that current pollution limits may not be strong enough.The New England Journal of Medicine published the study. The scientists examined rates of heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular events in women with long-term exposure to air pollution.
