Compress Word Files without ZIP

PackWord can compress a Microsoft Word document (.doc) file into a smaller, compressed, .doc file. The compressed .doc file is self-extracting: when loaded into Microsoft Word, the compressed document will automatically expand to the original version. The benefit of PackWord is that compressed documents automatically self-expand in Microsoft Word. You can also send it to a friend or colleague even though he may not have the PackWord program. Since PackWord is freeware, you do not need to choose: use both WinZip and PackWord! Download it here for FREE: http://www.packword.com/

Red eyes in flash photographs

We've all see photographs where the people in the picture have spooky red eyes. These are photos taken at night with a flash. Where do the red eyes come from? The red color comes from light that reflects off of the retinas in our eyes. In many animals, including dogs, cats and deer, the retina has a special reflective layer called the tapetum lucidum that acts almost like a mirror at the backs of their eyes. If you shine a flashlight or headlights into their eyes at night, their eyes shine back with bright, white light. Humans don't have this tapetum lucidum layer in their retinas. If you shine a flashlight in a person's eyes at night, you don't see any sort of reflection. The flash on a camera is bright enough, however, to cause a reflection off of the retina -- what you see is the red color from the blood vessels nourishing the eye. Many cameras have a "red eye reduction" feature. In these cameras, the flash goes off twice -- once right before the pic...

Simultaneously in a town near c...

More info on Swine Flu (H1N1)

The spread of swine flu is fast emerging as No 1 healthcare emergency not just in the country but the world over. Despite the issue being in the media for a long time, there continue to be ignorance and mis-information about the disease and how to handle it. Indian Medical Association, Nagpur Centre, has come up with a information dossier on the subject. We reproduce it here for the benefit of our readers. What is H1N1 (swine) flu?
