On the morning of New Year’s Eve, while I was loafing on Main Street, I meet an old friend of mine. “Hi!” I say. “Hi,” he says, “where to?” “Aimless loitering,” I say, “And you?” “I’m going to work.” “Work? This early? I thought your shift starts in the evening, or late at night. You work at a call center don’t you?” “Not now. I quit. I’m on my own now.” “On your own? What do you do?” “LPO.” “LPO? What’s that?” “Life Process Outsourcing.” “Life Process Outsourcing? Never heard of it!” “You’ve heard of Business Process Outsourcing haven’t you?” “BPO? Outsourcing non-core business activities and functions.” “Precisely. LPO is similar to BPO. There it’s Business Processes which are outsourced, here it’s Life Processes.” “Life Processes? Outsourced?”  “Why don’t you come along with me? I’ll show you.” Soon we are in his office. It looks like a mini call center. A young attractive girl welcomes us. “Meet Rita, my Manager,” my friend says, and introduces us. Rita look...

An analysis on female fertility and health says.. Through observations evolutionary biologists have found a link between the popular fascination for Barbie doll curves (or small waist to hip ratios) in women and a higher disposition of fertility and health. Worldwide men of diverse backgrounds, ethnicity and ages have ranked women with a small waist to hip ratio of around 0.7(the waist is 70% the size of the hips), irrespective of variance in weight as the most attractive and healthy. This corresponds to scientific assessments that verify a woman with a small waist to hip ratio (WHR) as the most healthy and fertile. WHR is found to be positively correlated with high testosterone and negatively linked to estrogen, thereby high degrees of estrogen lead to low WHR. A high concentration of estrogen in the female body especially after puberty results in nearly 35 pounds of reproductive fat deposited on the hips and thighs rather than on the waist. A study conducted in Netherlands has fo...

If tiny robots crawling along the inside of a blood vessel sounds like something from a sci-fi thriller, think again. Blood bots, along with other amazing medical technologies, are in development now and provide promise for early diagnosis and treatment of a variety of medical conditions. In the not-too-distant future, you or a family member may benefit from the medical advances on the horizon. Blood bots A robot barely visible to the eye may make scalpels a thing of the past for biopsies and blood-vessel repairs. Surgeons first inject these mechanical critters into a patient's vein. Once the device is inside the bloodstream, operators use a magnetic field to guide the tiny robot—it's just one millimeter in diameter—to its destination. There the bot can clean plaque-filled vessels like a Roto-Rooter and can even slice off tissue for biopsies. Because the bot, also called the "ViRob," makes deep incisions unnecessary, it reduces recovery time for the patient. It...
