Anger is a normal emotion experienced by everyone at different times. People usually feel angry as a reaction to their thoughts or emotions, like when they feel anger affect your decisions mostly in a negative way anger affect your your health Anger's Physiological Effects on the Heart Headaches Digestive imbalances Insomnia Anxiety Depression High blood pressure Skin problems, including eczema Heart attack Stroke It’s easier to feel anger than hurt Anger tends to be a surface emotion. But if you look at what is driving the anger, you will often find hurt, pain, or fear. Can you tell the truth to yourself about what you are actually feeling? Can you meet the depth of your experience with supreme kindness? You might be surprised at the freedom you discover. "Never forget what a man says to you when he is angry" "Speak when you are angry--and you will make the best speech you'll ever regret"

Despite its size, the Burj al-Arab holds only 28 double-storey floors which accommodate 202 bedroom suites. The smallest suite of the hotel Burj al Arab occupies an area of 169 square meters (1,819 square feet), the largest  covers 780 square meters (8,396 square feet). Burj al Arab is one of the most expensive hotels in the world to stay in. The cost of staying in a suite begins at $1,000 per night and increases to over $15,000 per night; the Royal Suite is the most expensive, at $28,000 per night. The hotel rests on an artificial island constructed 280 meters offshore. To secure a foundation, the builders drove 230 40-meter long concrete piles into the sand. The foundation is held in place not by bedrock, but by the friction of the sand and silt along the length of the piles. It took three years to reclaim the land from the sea, and less than three years to construct the building itself. The building contains over 70,000 cubic meters of concrete and 9,000 tons of s

In this mod, Jake von Slatt researched Victorian era stages and discovered they were approximately 4:3 aspect ratio – the 16:9 wide-screen ratio from the cinema. He coated the 24? wide screen monitor base with black spray lacquer and topped the supports off with some pieces of a brass chandelier. Then he fashioned

On Wednesday, the New York Times reported the curious case of Glendon Scott Crawford, a man with Ku Klux Klan connections who wanted to build an X-ray weapon to "help Israel kill its enemies while they slept." It's an act so unsubtle and cartoonishly evil that Hollywood execs would probably laugh the premise out of the room. Crawford was arrested Tuesday, after a sting operation by FBI agents in which they provided Crawford and his co-conspirator, engineer Eric J. Feight, with an nonfunctioning X-ray machine. This begs the question: Could an actual weapon be made from a working X-ray machine? X-rays are best known for taking pictures of the insides of people. While a regular dose in a medical setting is harmless, increased exposure to X-ray radiation can cause harm. In the grand scheme of radiation, it's a modest dosage. Like ultraviolet radiation, the kind that comes from the sun, too much X-ray radiation can cause cancer. That can be a death senten

Micro cameras are getting smaller every day. The top right is the world’s smallest cam, a pinhole size CMOS camera which you can see size-wise sitting upon a dime. For another dimension of creepy spying,

The largest cell in the human body is the female egg and the smallest is the male sperm. The brain is much more active at night than during the day. During your lifetime, you will produce enough saliva to fill two swimming pools. Your nose can remember 50,000 different scents. Women’s hearts beat faster than men’s. Your eyes are always the same size from birth (but your nose and ears never stop growing). On any given day, sexual intercourse takes place 120 million times on earth. The brain itself cannot feel pain.

"We believe the Internet has forced transparency upon brands and businesses. Brands no longer control the message, consumers do." That's one of the central ideas of the Modern Marketing Manifesto, published by Econsultancy, a UK-based digital marketing and commerce consultancy, and Marketing Week magazine, in May 2013. More than 300 marketers have signed the manifesto to date, including representatives of consumer packaged goods giants Unilever and Pepsico. Digital marketing, it seems, is evolving rapidly into "customer-led conversations", on the basis that, increasingly, it's not what a company says about its own products and services that matters today, but what customers say. Today's social media listening tools allow marketers to track and respond to conversations wherever they take place, from social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, to customer forums hosted by the business itself, or forums run by enthusiast groups, or

Curious about your neighbor’s land, or just want to snap some aerial photographs for more innocuous reasons? The Spy Kite by Eolo mounts a cheap digital camera to a kite with about 82 feet of string, taking photos via wireless remote. Low-tech and low-cost, the kite is not exactly CIA-worthy, but might make you think twice about any wayward kites you see hanging over your home.

Skype, the web-based communications company, reportedly set up a secret programme to make it easier for US surveillance agencies to access customers' information. The programme, called Project Chess and first revealed by the New York Times on Thursday, was said to have been established before Skype was bought by Microsoft in 2011. Microsoft's links with US security are under intense scrutiny following the Guardian's revelation of Prism, a surveillance program run by the National Security Agency (NSA), that claimed "direct" access to its servers and those of rivals including Apple, Facebook and Google. Project Chess was set up to explore the legal and technical issues involved in making Skype's communications more readily available to law enforcement and security officials, according to the Times. Only a handful of executives were aware of the plan. The company did not immediately return a call for comment. Last year Skype denied reports tha

Need to scan a document on the sly, as quickly as possible? The Docupen by Planon is hardly bigger than a regular writing instrument, but pass it over a sheet of paper or a photograph and it will capture and store the documents, ready to be uploaded via USB or Bluetooth to any computer.

It’s all too easy to listen to someone’s conversation using little more than a laser beam. Laser microphones use a laser beam to measure the vibration of sounds on a surface, usually glass windows, transmitting those sounds back to the listener’s receiver. DIY instructions abound on the internet, including this tutorial by Lucid Science.

While some inventors enjoy fame and fortune thanks to their inventions, for a handful of inventors, their devices proved their own worst enemies. Here are 12 unlucky (and in some cases, foolhardy) inventors who perished thanks to their own creations. Franz Reichelt or François Reichelt, the Flying Tailor (1879-1912) This Austrian-born French tailor is remembered for his accidental death by jumping from the Eiffel Tower while testing his own invention, a wearable parachute suit for pilots who would escape from a damaged plane. The first tests were quite successful with using dummies, so he wanted to jump himself. The 187-foot (57 m) fall to the icy ground killed him instantly. William Bullock (1813-1867) The father of the web rotary printing press and modern printing was killed by his own invention in a bizarre

A group of researchers has managed to create the most detailed and complete map of the human brain to date. BigBrain, the 3D digital reconstruction of the brain of a 65-year-old woman, reveals its details with microscopic precision.  The brain is made up of numerous networks of neurons that vary enormously in size, shape, and layers. Scientists can now see cerebral neuronal distribution with greater detail using this new model.  The finding, published in the journal Science, could drive further research into a wide range of brain diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.  BigBrain will serve as an atlas for neurosurgery and give researchers invaluable insight into how the brain processes emotion, cognition and language. Lead author, Katrin Amunts, from the Research Centre Jülich, Germany, said that "it is a common basis for scientific discussions because everybody can work with this brain model."

Scientists used 3-D printing to merge tissue and an antenna capable of receiving radio signals. Credit: Frank Wojciechowski Researchers at Princeton created a 3D printed “bionic” ear that exhibits enhanced auditory sensing for radio frequency reception, merging biologic and nanoelectronic functionalities via 3D printing. Scientists at Princeton University used off-the-shelf printing tools to create a functional ear that can “hear” radio frequencies far beyond the range of normal human capability. The researchers’ primary purpose was to explore an efficient and versatile means to merge electronics with tissue. The scientists used 3D printing of cells and nanoparticles followed by cell culture to combine a small coil antenna with cartilage, creating what they term a bionic ear. “In general, there are mechanical and thermal challenges with interfacing electronic materials with biological materials,” said Michael McAlpine, an assistant professor of mechanical and aerosp

Macaws are the largest of all the parrots. There are over 370 different types of parrots on Earth, and the Macaws are the largest of all of them. Large macaws normally weight between 2 and 4 pounds, which is fairly hefty for a bird -- their bones are hollow in order to make them lighter, so that they can achieve flight. The largest of the macaws, the Hyacinth Macaw, can reach lengths of nearly 3 and a half feet long from the beak to the tip of the tail. In addition, they boast a wingspan of up to 60 inches, which is a whopping 5 feet! Macaws are beautiful, brilliantly colored members of the parrot family. Many macaws have vibrant plumage. The coloring is suited to life in Central and South American rain forests, with their green canopies and colorful fruits and flowers. The birds boast large, powerful beaks that easily crack nuts and seeds, while their dry, scaly tongues have a bone inside them that makes them an effective tool for tapping into fruits.

NASA scientists using data from the Indonesian earthquake calculated it affected Earth's rotation, decreased the length of day, slightly changed the planet's shape, and shifted the North Pole by centimeters. The earthquake that created the huge tsunami also changed the Earth's rotation.  Dr. Richard Gross of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., and Dr. Benjamin Fong Chao, of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md., said all earthquakes have some affect on Earth's rotation. It's just they are usually barely noticeable.  "Any worldly event that involves the movement of mass affects the Earth's rotation, from seasonal weather down to driving a car," Chao said.  Gross and Chao have been routinely calculating earthquakes' effects in changing the Earth's rotation in both length-of- day as well as changes in Earth's gravitational field. They also study changes in polar motion that is shifting the

A new research project out of Japan has air hockey champions shaking in their sneakers. Researchers have developed a robotic arm that dominates the air hockey table with a killer combination of precise moves and long-term strategy. The robot, which is mounted on a regular air-hockey table, is manufactured by Barrett Technology, a spin-off of MIT's Artificial Intelligence Lab. Barrett's robotic manipulators are the most advanced in the world and are typically used in factories, hospitals and research facilities. But researchers at Japan's Chiba University thought it was time these robots had a little fun. Controlled from an external PC and equipped with two high speed cameras, the robotic arm "sees" at 500 frames per second. Its opponents, mere humans, see at about 20 frames per second.

If a device has an operating system, it can be hacked. This includes lifesaving medical devices, according to two recent advisories from the Department of Homeland Security and the Food and Drug Administration. Billy Rios and Terry McCorkle of Cylance, an Irvine, Calif,-based security firm, discovered a vulnerability that affects 300 medical devices available from 40 different manufacturers. Although there is no evidence that these devices have ever been hacked in real-life situations, a flaw in the devices' password systems could allow a potential malefactor to tamper with a device's firmware and then program unwanted routines. Among the devices affected are surgical implements, ventilators, drug infusion pumps, external defibrillators, patient monitors and lab analysis equipment. It doesn't take an especially imaginative mind to think of a few creative ways to ruin someone's day by hacking these devices: Improper drug dosages or faulty test results c

Popularized by their military applications, drones are now taking flight over U.S. skylines with at least hundreds of small, unmanned aircraft hard at work buzzing over football stadiums, Hollywood sets and farms. Despite regulations banning commercial drone use in the United States, a thriving black market is on the rise, sending the Federal Aviation Administration into a tailspin.

Back in 2006, 1/3 of al stocks traded in the USA and EU were traded electronically by specially designed algorithms without any human input. Today, it is estimated that around 70 % of stocks traded in the US and EU markets are bought/sold by algorithmic programs, with some markets pushing 80 %. In order to understand this, it is important for you to know what algorithmic trading is. Algo trading is the use of electronic platforms for entering orders with an algorithm which executes pre-programmed trading instructions.

Carpe diem! Microsoft has seized the opportunity presented by Google's privacy policy changes to tout its online services as alternatives. Ads this week hit the pages of the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and USA Today suggesting that people concerned with Google's policies try Microsoft's Bing search engine, Internet Explorer browser, Hotmail email and Office 365 for business documents. "Google is in the process of making some unpopular changes to some of their most popular products," the ads read. "Those changes, cloaked in language like 'transparency,' 'simplicity' and 'consistency,' are really about one thing: making it easier for Google to connect the dots between everything you search, send, say or stream while using one of their services."

As the globe’s temperature rises and the earth’s weather patterns go haywire, water is quickly becoming a hot topic in the US and elsewhere. Floods are sweeping through new areas, while others are drying out faster than ever. We’ve long had the luxury of holding a cavalier attitude about the water we use, and more often than not that attitude has led us to unnecessary waste and pollution of our water. Americans now use 127 percent more water than we did in 1950. About 95 percent of the water entering our homes goes down the drain. Running the tap while brushing your teeth can waste 4 gallons of water. Older toilets can use 3 gallons of clean water with every flush, while new toilets use as little as 1 gallon. Leaky faucets that drip at the rate of one drop per second can waste up to 2,700 gallons of water each year. A garden hose or sprinkler can use almost as much water in an hour as an average family of four uses in one day. A water-efficient dishwasher will u

The obese mouse on the right was fed a high-fat diet. The mouse on the left was fed the same diet but is a normal weight after receiving amlexanox. Image credit: Shannon Reilly. A newly published study from the University of Michigan found that a currently available asthma drug reverses obesity, diabetes and fatty liver in mice. Ann Arbor — Researchers at the University of Michigan’s Life Sciences Institute have found that amlexanox, an off-patent drug currently prescribed for the treatment of asthma and other uses, also reverses obesity, diabetes and fatty liver in mice. The findings from the lab of Alan Saltiel, the Mary Sue Coleman director of the Life Sciences Institute, are published online in the journal Nature Medicine. “One of the reasons that diets are so ineffective in producing weight loss for some people is that their bodies adjust to the reduced calories by also reducing their metabolism, so that they are ‘defending’ their body weight,” Saltiel said.

A new study details how medical professionals from the University of Michigan were able to save a baby’s life by restoring his breathing using a 3D printed airway splint. Ann Arbor, Michigan – Every day, their baby stopped breathing, his collapsed bronchus blocking the crucial flow of air to his lungs. April and Bryan Gionfriddo watched helplessly, just praying that somehow the dire predictions weren’t true. “Quite a few doctors said he had a good chance of not leaving the hospital alive,” says April Gionfriddo, about her now 20-month-old son, Kaiba. “At that point, we were desperate. Anything that would work, we would take it and run with it.”

A newly published study from Brown University shows that breastfeeding improves brain development in infants, providing better brain development than a combination of breastfeeding and formula, which produced better development than formula alone. Providence, Rhode Island (Brown University) — A new study by researchers from Brown University finds more evidence that breastfeeding is good for babies’ brains. The study made use of specialized, baby-friendly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to look at the brain growth in a sample of children under the age of 4. The research found that by age 2, babies who had been breastfed exclusively for at least three months had enhanced development in key parts of the brain compared to children who were fed formula exclusively or who were fed a combination of formula and breastmilk. The extra growth was most pronounced in parts of the brain associated with language, emotional function, and cognition, the research showed. This isn’t th

The Cooltone Mini Fridge provides an interesting combination of popular dorm room items into one “cool” package. This refrigerator has a 22 liter capacity which is enough to hold 20 standard beverage cans and keep them cold, but there’s much, much more. The Cooltone gets its name from the multiple music-playing features included in this unlikely combination. On the top of the fridge is a standard top loading CD player and and AM/FM radio which both play music out of the integrated speakers built into the sides of the Cooltone. Users can also connect stereo headphones or connect external speakers to further enhance their extra-cool music. The fridge/stereo also has a standard 3.5mm input jack where you can connect an auxiliary MP3 player to sound through the speakers for the rest of us who no longer have any CD’s.

On August 6 & 9 of 1945 Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed by two nuclear bombs. It is estimated that 280,000 people were killed. This is the only time that nuclear weapons have been used in war, which is lucky because modern nuclear weapons would be even more destructive. A single warhead from the the UK's Trident system is around 8 times more powerful than the bomb which destroyed Hiroshima. Each missile contains three warheads. A submarine containing up to 16 missiles is constantly on patrol. Why were Hiroshima and Nagasaki destroyed? Many reasons have been suggested as to why the US administration decided to wipe out these two Japanese cities. Some of the most plausible are: The United States wanted to force Japan's surrender as quickly as possible to minimize American casualties.

Cycling through heavy traffic can be a risky affair, with vehicles jumping from lane to lane without warning, and pedestrians appearing from nowhere as they risk life and limb to get from one side to the other. It’d be so much safer if you could avoid these hazards by simply flying above them, while keeping an eye out for low bridges and power lines, naturally. The idea of a flying bicycle may sound a little far-fetched, but in the Czech capital Prague on Wednesday a group of local companies – including Technodat, Evektor and Duratec – gathered to test out a prototype of such a machine.

Let’s be honest; a mechanical computer probably isn’t practical in this day and age. Back in the 1800s, mechanical computers were works of modern art and a huge step in engineering. All you history buffs might recall Charles Babbage’s “Difference Engine,” (1822), or even the “Kerrison Predictor” (late 1930s). But the only place you’re likely to see a mechanical computing creation today is at your local science museum. At least, that used to be the case, until one brave electrical engineer decided to create his own version. An inventive chap, known simply as “Chris” used his electrical engineering background to put together a simplistic mechanical device that tabulates numbers. The Turbo Entabulator, as Chris dubbed it, uses a construct to punch out a series of numbers onto cards that would make any Fibonacci fan proud. That’s the extent of this archaic-looking machine, and although it doesn’t do much more than tabulate, the key feature of this machine separates it from all oth

Detailed on the Official Google Blog this week, the search company announced an ambitious plan to bring Internet access to a large portion of the world’s population that either can’t afford Web access or is located in a completely remote area without an ISP. Called Project Loon, Google is looking to the sky for the answer rather than a wired network on the ground. Launching a collection of giant balloons with network hardware attached, these balloons float approximately 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) in the air being pushed by winds moving within the stratosphere. After the Project Loon balloons are launched in the air, the network devices attached to the balloons communicate with a specialized Internet antenna that’s attached to someone’s home. Each balloon is also communicating with the other balloons in the air and this network is relaying an Internet connection from a local ISP in the area. The network devices on the Project Loon balloons have been designed to filter out all o
