Hardware communication is one of my line of programming. I started with VB 6 (COMM PORT) now i have upgraded to visua studio 2008 (SERIALPORT1). Its quite interesting to be able to communicate with and control hardware connected to the serial port of a computer. If you need to develop any of such application, feel free to contact me (talktoumeh at yahoo dot ca)

Interesting puzzle. The reader is made to believe an equation that is not correct, spot the LIE and you will solve the puzzle. There are already different correct solutions suggested on page one. 49 + 49 +the amt left with you is never meant to be added up to 100. That is not a correct mathematical statement. Anyway, its an intelligent deception, at least it got me thinking,

Good day,

Below are some of the most interesting happenings around the world of
biosciences last month!

*****Artificial Pancreas Being Developed to Ease Diabetes Burden******

The 25.8 million Americans who have diabetes may soon be free of finger pricks and daily insulin dosing. Mayo Clinic endocrinologists Yogish Kudva, M.B.B.S., and Ananda Basu, M.B.B.S., M.D., are developing an artificial pancreas that will deliver insulin automatically and with an individualized precision never before possible.

As part of this effort, Drs. Kudva and Basu will present their latest findings on how the mundane movements of everyday life affect blood sugar to the American Diabetes Association meeting this month in San Diego.
"The effects of low-intensity physical activity, mimicking activities of daily living, measured with precise accelerometers on glucose variability in type 1 diabetes had not been examined," says Dr. Kudva.
Among his newest findings is that even basic physical activity after meals has a profound impact on blood sugar levels for people with type 1 diabetes. "You would expect this result, but we wanted to know to what extent this phenomena would happen in people with type 1 diabetes," Dr. Kudva says.

Diabetics who engaged in low-grade physical activity after eating had blood sugar levels close to those of people with fully functioning pancreases. Those who remained sedentary after their meal, however, had elevated blood sugars.
The researchers plan to incorporate these findings into an artificial pancreas being developed at Mayo Clinic. The "Closed Loop System" under development includes a blood sugar monitor, an automatic insulin pump, a set of activity monitors that attach to the body and a central processing unit.

Clinical trials of the artificial pancreases are likely to begin in November with a handful of inpatient volunteers. Study participants will follow strict diet, exercise and insulin-delivery regimens in Mayo's Clinical Research Unit. Data will then be fed into an insulin-delivery algorithm, which mimics the body's natural process of monitoring and responding to glucose levels in the bloodstream.

@odedele,that's a very long and enlightening one. It seems like you are in the banking sector?

He may have good intentions for the country, but liquidating 8 banks would do more harm than good

Anyone that tells you that you can be a good programmer in a week wants to deceive you. If you are passionate about being a programmer, then you should be willing to give it your time and hardwork. Just like any other good endeavors, it's not easy to one.

This warning should be taken seriously by everyone not just car dealers. One only way to prevent falling victim is by keeping your account balance only to yourself. When someone knows your account balance, the person can deceive you into believing he/she has paid into your account. Alternatively verify transactions by checking up your balance via ATM

Hmmm, its been a while that Soludo came out to public spotlight. Where has he been?

I really wonder what the police will derive by publicly admitting that they are already closing in on the kidnappers and the public announcement that they wont pay any ransom. This may make the kidnappers act unpredictably.

she looks really stunning.

This may be a form of blackmail to tanish a competing brand name. But if the information turns out to be false, then it would have given the "Dew" Bottled water a wonderful publicity

I just cant think of any reason for his action. It's unimaginable.

mbulela:
RESTITUTION

now that you have regretted and repented, complete the circle by returning every penny you looted,knowingly or unknowingly.

lol

M M M:
thank God i dont have a fone.

lol

@daroz, i believe the security will be very tight and their will be no bombing.

Its a pity, but what are hired killers doing with FORMER local Government Leader?

Even though you divorce your current wife for this new lady, its a big sin and adultery. It was motivated by lust.

This days, ladies are competing fiercely with men when it comes to champions leagues

Its a good topic. We are all eyes and ears!

It all depends on the type of life the woman lived before marraige. People that lived honest lives dont need to change their numbers

In as much as i dont support the 3hrs lateness of the vp which could actually be due to several reasons, the way the emir addressed it in public is not also right. Maybe it has to do wit a personal grudge.

It's a good development.

But i did not see anywhere in the article where it is indicated that fashola rejected the offer.

I just learnt now that merci and some other key argentina players wont be coming. What a pity!

Siasia would really have to sit up!

Story story? Story!,

@poster, Good question! We should all be the change we want to see around us.

In yet another demonstration of unbelievable medical carelessness, a Brazilian woman was recently found to have been living with a pair of eight-inch scissors inside her abdomen for over three years. After Veronika Cruz underwent a surgical procedure to have an ovary removed, it was discovered later that surgeons apparently forgot to retrieve their scissors before finishing the procedure and sending the woman on her way.

According to reports, Cruz had been living in excruciating pain for several years following her surgery, but her doctors largely ignored her pain concerns and dismissed them as inconsequential. It was not until Cruz finally collapsed and was taken in for X-rays that doctors finally realized the complaints were legitimate.

"There was damage to her intestine and her other ovary, which had to be removed," said a spokesman for the Sao Paolo medical council, concerning the internal damage caused by the scissors. "We are investigating."

From start to finish, Cruz's experience was literally nothing more than one giant bungling disaster performed in the name of modern medicine. Everything from the surgery error itself to the doctors' dismissal of Cruz's pain concerns illustrates the pompous arrogance of many modern medical doctors, who often act as though they are infallible. Ironically, in this case, the entire scenario was one massive medical fallacy that ended up destroying the patient's other ovary in the process.

And serious medical errors are not rare cases, either. According to a report issued back in November by the Office of Inspector General at the Health and Human Services Department (HHS), medical errors result in 134,000 serious adverse events, and roughly 15,000 deaths, every single month just in the US
