Twinphone

Get ready to experience the difference...........


Twinphone is the latest dimension in mobile telecommunications allowing the user to benefit from futuristic technology today.

Twinphones are the next generation of mobile communication capable of allowing two independent sim free phones to be used on one mobile phone handset.

Each Twinphone unit is capable of using the most advanced technology to deliver the telephone system requirements that busy people need at a price that everyone can afford.

Although, this was not yet out in the Philippine market but recent reports revealled that the manufacturer of the phone found already their counterpart here and willing to invest to bring this phone in circulation to our market soon.

People with more moles may age slowly

People with a large numbers of moles on their skin may age slowly, suggests a new study.
Scientists from King’s College, London, compared key ageing DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) with the number of moles a person had in a study of 1,800 twins.

A mole is a spot on the skin that is usually round or oval in shape and may range in colour from pink, brown, red or black.

The experts found that the more moles a person had, the more likely their DNA was to have the properties to fight off ageing, reported the online edition of BBC News.

In the study, which appeared in the latest issue of Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention journal, researchers found that those with more than 100 moles had longer telomeres than those with fewer than 25. Telemores are the part of certain chromosomes linked to ageing. The difference between the two mole groups was equivalent to six to seven years of ageing.

“The results of this study are very exciting as they show, for the first time, that moley people … may have the benefit of a reduced rate of ageing,” said lead researcher Veronique Bataille.

“This could imply susceptibility to fewer age-related diseases such as heart disease or osteoporosis - a disease that makes bones prone to fracture, for example. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.”

A nasal spray to shed your shyness!

University of Zurich researchers have created a spray that can relieve people of shyness, and help them socialise with others.

The spray is very easy to use, and an individual can boost self-confidence just by squirting it up the nose.

The researchers say that the spray harnesses the powers of a feel-good hormone called oxytocin, a neurotransmitter in the brain that is involved in social recognition and bonding.
The mammalian hormone is produced naturally by the body when a person is in love, and it also induces labour in pregnant women. The spray contains a synthetic version of it, created in the laboratory.

University researcher Dr Markus Heinrichs says that the spray was found to “dramatically” change the behaviour of 70 adults during a study. He says that all study participants had stopped feeling anxious, and started to engage better with others in the group.

While presenting the findings of the study at the World Congress of Neuroscience in Melbourne, Dr. Heinrichs said that the hormone had an effect on the part of the brain that controls fear response.

He also said spraying into the nasal passages was the most effective method of its administration, as it was absorbed into the body more rapidly, reports the Sun.

The researchers are now planning to conduct large-scale trials of the spray. If the trials prove successful, the spray may be launched in the market in the next five years.
