Eye exercises that relieve eye strain
Hi,
I found a nice article from medimanage.com.
A good exercise is Rotating your eyes, clockwise direction and then anticlockwise direction.
In our routine lifestyle, we generally have a straight vision, we rarely use our side vision and hence the side muscles from our eyes are not well exercised and becomes lazy. Exercising the eyes by rotating the eyeball (and not rotating the neck) helps to exercise all the eye muscles.
A few relaxing eye exercises that would help you relieve your eye strain.
1. Palming /cupping
The Palming or cupping exercise helps to relax your eyes.
Rub your palms together for about 15- 20 seconds or until they feel warm. Then place your cupped hands softy over your closed eyes without leaving any gaps between the fingers so that no light enter the eyes. (It is important to check that you do not apply pressure on your eye balls). Sit quietly with your hands over your eyes for one to two minutes and experience the darkness with your closed eye. Perform this exercise at least twice a day.
2. Concentrating on an object
Hold the pencil at an arm’s length from your eyes. Concentrate on the tip of the pencil. Slowly bring the pencil toward your nose and then back to the original position. Follow this exercise slowly without blinking your eyes. Perform this exercise 2-3 times in a day.
3. Hydrotherapy
Place a bowl of hot water and a bowl of cold water in front of you. The hot water should be hot but not so hot that it burns you, while the cold water should be ice cold. Put a clean soft cloth in each bowl. First place the cloth from hot bowl on your closed eye for 30 seconds. Then do the same with the cloth from the bowl of cold water. Continue to alternate the hot and cold cloth for at least 5 times. Finish by gently massaging your eye with a dry towel.
4. Head Rolls
Close your eyes and take a deep breath. As you exhale, move your chin slowly to your chest. Relax your neck and shoulders. As you inhale, slowly and gently roll your head around to the left, and then back to your chest, keeping the shoulder still and relaxed. Now exhale as you roll your head to the other side and down to your chest again. Repeat this sequence twice. This exercise will help you relax your neck, head and eye muscles.
5. Near far focus
Focus on a nearby object which is less than 10 m away for 10 seconds and then slowly refocus on a distant object over 50m away . Focus for several seconds on the distant object and then move your focus to the nearby object. Repeat this process for 5 times in a day
6. Up- down eye movements
Keep your face forward and without moving your head, focus your eyes as high as they can go. Then slowly move your eye line down to as low as they can go, without moving your head. Perform this exercise 8-10 times in a day.
7. Blinking
Blinking is a very simple eye exercise. Blink your eye every 2-3 second for two minutes continuously and you will keep your eyes refreshed. This exercise is generally recommended to individuals who work on the computer for a longer duration of time.
Benefits of eye exercises
Eye exercise help to relieve the stress of looking at a computer screen for a longer duration.
The ophthalmic nerves receive a richer supply of blood which makes the eye muscle strong and active gives a clearer and better vision.

SQL update query using joins
Hi,
I am an Mysql programmer.
I need to update few table columns based on join condition of two SQL Server tables.
The query is as follows:
update c
set c.name = a.name,
c.category = a.class,
c.sub_category = a.schclass
from TableA as c inner join Table B as a on c.code = a.code
Just putting it for reference.
Thanx
server.mappath(“.”), server.mappath(“~”), server.mappath(@”\”), server.mappath(“/”). What is the difference?
server.mappath(“.”), server.mappath(“~”), server.mappath(@”\”), server.mappath(“/”). What is the difference?
Server.MapPath specifies the relative or virtual path to map to a physical directory.
Server.MapPath(“.”) returns the current physical directory of the file (e.g. aspx) being executed
Server.MapPath(“..”) returns the parent directory
Server.MapPath(“~”) returns the physical path to the root of the application
Server.MapPath(“/”) returns the physical path to the root of the domain name (is not necessarily the same as the root of the application)
An example:
Let’s say you pointed a web site application (http://www.example.com/) to
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot
and installed your shop application (sub web as virtual directory in IIS, marked as application) in
D:\WebApps\shop
For example, if you call Server.MapPath in following request:
http://www.example.com/shop/products/GetProduct.aspx?id=2342
then:
If Path starts with either a forward (/) or backward slash (\), the MapPath method returns a path as if Path were a full, virtual path.
If Path doesn’t start with a slash, the MapPath method returns a path relative to the directory of the request being processed.
Note: in C#, @ is the verbatim literal string operator meaning that the string should be used “as is” and not be processed for escape sequences.

Thanx to the post.

Chinese Farmer Builds Robot Army
Hi,
Yesterday I saw a progrm on Discovery about the Chinese farmer who builds robot army.I found his work amazing.
A Chinese farmer with very little education has built 26 robots over the past 30 years. His love and obvious talent for technology has inspired him to design these robots and build them literally from scrap materials.
Wu Yulu, 46, has been thinking about building robots from the time he was eleven years of age. While sitting on his doorstep watching villagers pass by, he came up with the idea of building a machine that walks like a man.
After suffering a series of life changing set backs such as a burnt down home,
spraying himself with battery acid, and experiencing great financial debt – all in the name of art,
chinese farmer wu yulu is finally gaining some recognition for his inventions of homemade
robots.
I found the above Robot pretty amazing.It drive the Discovery panel person,Paul.

High Bone Fever caused by Cauliflower – A FALSE RUMOR!
Hi,
Never before did Cauliflower grab our attention so much as it did in the past few days! An SMS about it made it the talk of the talk of the town for quiet some time now(I got the SMS yesterday,so for sake of curiosity I googled, I got the result as yet another flasr rumor). Recently there was an SMS circulated which stated that the consumption of this particular vegetable may cause a rare disease known as High Bone Fever [HBF]. No one knew of this before nor did any one hear of such a thing. It was said that this message is being spread by the doctors of AIIMS, Delhi. But soon we were relieved by the AIIMS doctors themselves that there’s no such disease as High Bone Fever known to the medical science and that a false rumor was being spread.
Earlier too 7Up Nimbooz, a product of Pepsico was called the cause of HBF. Even at that time it was the AIIMS doctors got us out from the ignorance and proved it wrong.
So I would like to tell everybody that, don’t send such SMS without verification,as poor Cauliflower is not going to tell everybody its important & innocence 
Hoax Mail: Burundanga
Hi,
I got a mail from one of my close friend as follows:
MESSAGE FROM MUMBAI POLICE.
Be Alert !!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!
This has been sent originally by a member of the Mumbai police force.
Share with everybody you know, particularly your wife, sisters, daughters, nieces, mother, female friends and colleagues.
At a petrol pump, a man came over and offered his services as a painter to a lady filling petrol in her car and left his visiting card. She said nothing but accepted his card out of sheer kindness and got into the car. The man then got into a car driven by another person.
As the lady left the service station, she saw the men following her out of the station at the same time. Almost immediately, she started to feel
dizzy and could not catch her breath. She tried to open the window and realized that the odour was on her hand; the same hand with which she had received the card from the person at the service station. She then noticed the men were immediately behind her and she felt she needed to do something at that moment. She drove into the first driveway and began to honk her horn repeatedly to ask for help. The men drove away
but the lady still felt pretty bad for several minutes after she could finally catch her breath.
Apparently, there was a substance on the card that could have seriously injured her. This drug is called ‘BURUNDANGA’ (Not known To People So Far but sufficient Information Is available in the Net) and it is used by people who wish to incapacitate a victim in order to steal from or take advantage of them. This drug is four times more dangerous than the date rape drug and is transferable on a simple card or paper.. So please take heed and make sure you don’t accept cards when you are alone or from someone on the streets. This applies to those making house calls and slipping you a card when they offer their services.
PLEASE SEND THIS E-MAIL ALERT TO OTHERS.. . . . . . ::
But Alter some googling, I cam to know the fast as follows:
Analysis: Is there a drug called burundanga used by criminals in Latin America to incapacitate their victims? Yes.
Do news sources confirm that burundanga is being used to commit crimes in the United States and other countries outside Latin America? No, they do not.
The story above, circulating since 2008, is almost certainly a fabrication. Two details betray it as such:
The victim allegedly received a dose of the drug by simply touching a business card. (All sources agree that burundanga must be inhaled or ingested, or the subject must have prolonged topical contact with it, in order for it to have an effect.)
The victim allegedly detected a “strong odor” coming from the drug-laced card. (All sources agree that burundanga is odorless and tasteless.)
What is burundanga?
Burundanga is the street version of a pharmaceutical drug called scopolamine. It is made from the extracts of plants in the nightshade family such as henbane and jimson weed. It’s a deliriant, meaning it can induce symptoms of delirium such as disorientation, loss of memory, hallucinations, and stupor.
You can see why it would be popular with criminals.
In powdered form scopolamine can be easily mixed into food or drink, or blown directly into victims’ faces, forcing them to inhale it.
