Find Every Piece Of A Broken Ornament


Find Every Piece Of A Broken Ornament with this trick
Fancy Christmas tree ornaments have a tendency to shatter into a billion little pieces of glass that can easily cut someone when they get dropped or knocked down. Don't let that happen! When your cat, child, or clumsy family member knocks an ornament into merry oblivion, try this trick instead. Start by going over the area with a vacuum or broom. That will get most of the big pieces, but you won't be able to get all of them that way. That's why redditor Hillary Meggin suggests you grab a flashlight : When cleaning up broken glass, after you get all the pieces you can see, turn off the overhead light, put a flashlight on the floor, and look for sparkles... Try it from different directions too. I just did this with an ornament my daughter broke, and found six more shards embedded in the rug after I thought I had vacuumed up everything. Locate those sparkles and clear them out. You might be surprised how many shards will still be around. After all, the last thing you want for Christmas is a thousand tiny cuts in your feet.

An Innovative Morning


One fine day, I woke up very early, say it must be 4:30 in the morning, well before sunrise. I observed two things:
1) The night bulb was shining, particularly, it was an LED bulb of 0.5W, which I remember I had switched off properly at night, and was still switched off, but was throwing light that shone the bulb, enough to make it(the bulb) visible.
2) The touch on LED tube-light: We have a tube-light at home, probably an LED and a plastic one. I thought I'll try touching it, just because it was on a height and I wanted to stretch. To my utter surprise, that specific piece of tube-light was shining on the spots that I kept touching. Ah yes! I tried with all the fingers I had on both my hands, but as it was a large one, the energy from my hands was not enough to make the whole thing shine.
That's it! Experiment on your things at home yourself, and see what happens, just don't burn your little hands!!

Don’t return that missed call!

At around 1.35 am on Thursday, Ranita D'souza heard her phone ring. This woke her up and just as she was about to take the call, the caller disconnected. The caller's code was +216. Assuming it was important, Ranita returned the call. Although her call was answered, to her surprise, there was no response from the other end. Ranita hung up but by now Rs 60 had been deducted from her prepaid account.

Lately, this has been a common occurrence and callers are being conned into returning these dodgy calls. This is being called the 'One Ring Scam'. The callers have automatic diallers and they call random numbers. It is a general tendency to return calls, especially ones made at an awkward time for fear of there being an emergency.

Upon returning these calls, you are sometimes directed to an expensive international hotline - usually an adult site. People would find this offensive, obviously. At other times, callers are kept engaged with music and other sounds. Certain other users get messages saying "Please call me back, this is urgent." Not only are calls to these numbers expensive, staying on call increases your risk of losing data.

Sharath Tejasvi, who handles Corporate Communication at Airtel said, "All operators and even the Department of Telecommunication have alerted customers asking them not to take such calls," he said. "About a year back, we received complaints about a group based in Africa that would retrieve data stored on a person's phone through such calls," he said.

Currently, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, (TRAI), has advised customers not to pick up unknown calls with the code +92 (Pakistan) and +375 (Belarus). If you receive such calls, make sure not to call back. Also, bring up the matter with your operator.

New Research Promises to Recharge Cell Phones with Your Sweet Voice

Imagine if your cell phone never needed to be recharged. The only caveat is that you have to actually use it by making phone calls, whether it's to your mother who wants to know why you never call, or your significant other to tell them how you much you miss them. Sound a little far fetched? There's new research out there that promises to charge your phone using your voice.
According a report in the U.K.'s Telegraph, electrical engineers at the institute of nanotechnology at Sungkyunkwan University in Seol, South Korea, have developed a new technique that turns sound waves into electricity. This would allow a cell phone to stay charged simply by carrying on a conversation, and by picking up background noise. It can even convert music into electricity when not in use.

The Trick :
The magic trick involves sandwiching strands of zinc oxide between two electrodes. There's a sound absorbing pad on top that vibrates when sound waves hit it, which causes the zinc oxide to compress and release, generating electrical current that can be used to charge a battery.
