Over the years, have conducted various research studies to establish whether mobile phones harm health in some way, but results so far have always been contradictory and insufficient for firm conclusions.

The place where the phone normally stands doctors measured the reduced quantity of minerals and reduced bone density. On the other side of the cross such a problem is not noticed.

Google Music

Google already started to test Google Music, which is a clear sign that the long-awaited new service coming. In sashestvo, Google Music is streaming service that users can use the web related to devices, but according to several sources, the cause of Google to delay its release by the lack of most basic component - the music. Since early 2010, the software giants led negotiations with the four largest record companies, but due to the complex conditions (from Google insist not just on the rights to distribute songs and music in the "cloud") is delaying the finalization of nearly one year. Internal testing of Google Music, however, showed that the negotiations are successfully completed.
It seems that Google Music will start work soon, possibly in April. It is clear that the service will be a very serious competitor to iTunes, since ultimately Google has all the necessary means to promote its new product - its own mobile operating system on which millions have been based mobile devices and hundreds of millions of users which have a positive attitude towards the company services.

The premiere of the movie "First Orbit" (First Orbit) will be on YouTube next month to celebrate the 50 th anniversary of the flight of Russian cosmonaut.

The first astronaut carried out 108-minute flight around the Earth and managed to see something that no one before him has ever seen - our home planet from space. "I saw how beautiful our planet. People to keep and multiply this beauty, not destroy it!" Said an emotional Gagarin.

Wales vs. England



 Wales vs. England, 03.26.2011, 16:00 clock
Competition: European Championship qualifier in 2012
Round: 5 Gameday
Group: Group G
Stadium: Millennium Stadium (Cardiff)
Manufacturer: PartyBets

In the European Championship qualifying Group G, it is this Saturday at 16.00 clock (in-play at PartyBets) the prestige duel between Wales and England. Who wins? I am firmly convinced that the "Three Lions"harmless Welsh will eat!

The starting point:
The coached by Fabio Capello's star line-ranked England in the European Championship Qualifying Group G "only " ranked second. Rooney & Co. accounted for three points behind surprise leaders of Montenegro, but have a game in the hindquarters. With a win against Wales would be the "Three Lions", which clearly have the better goal difference (+6), make the leap to the summit and Montenegro replace as group leader. Chances are, because Wales is still without a point after three games, winning and comes with a goal difference of 1:6 as a shooting gallery of the group G. The trend of the last games sprayed not a lot of optimism: The team of Gary Speed​​, who in December, the successor to John Toshack took as Welsh coach, five lost the last six games! England, however, seems since the bitter off again to have caught during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa against Germany. The Elf-Capello conceded only against France (1:2) a setback, but is otherwise quite well on it. In short: The stakes could hardly be more different! While Wales points must necessarily Last Table, England can take a triple of the standings!

Ides of March

"Beware the Ides of March" would do well, especially when switching from a Roman dictator. But the ideas are, however, and how you want to avoid?
The 'identity', a word that rhymes with "hidden" is truly unique. According to the Roman calendar is the moon IDES all day. This is the 13th day of the month, but March 15, May, July and October.

The Romans did not think this is nothing particularly ominous about the ideas of March or the identity of every two months for that matter. The day is usually an opportunity to honor the god of the month of Mars, a military parade. But in 44 BC, March 15 stood as a bad day for at least an ancient Roman: Julius Caesar.

Ides of March: As of March 15 Read

According to the parallel lives of Plutarch, Caesar saw a fortune teller who predicted that it would be a great danger, is past the Ides of March are come. When was the dictator on the way to the Senate, where he will meet his untimely end, he saw and said I guess. "Well, come the Ides of March"

"Yes, come," said the goalkeeper, but they are gone. "

The scene is known to be repeated in Act 3, Scene 1 of "Julius Caesar" by Shakespeare.

But Caesar was assassinated in fact on that day? History agrees to 15 Day Marzio dead, but in the last years of his life of Caesar was playing with the Roman calendar, which, because politicians are allowed per day, Fiat, fell in sync with the Earth's orbit is real around the sun.

In the Julian calendar was introduced in 45 BC and continues to the 18th century, when it was displaced by the widespread Gregorian calendar. But in the early days of the Julian calendar, leap year cycle is not yet stabilized. Thus, many scientists believe that the effective date of the assassination of Caesar was probably 14 March 44 BC.

In the Julian calendar is assumed that the solar year lasted exactly 365.25 days in a leap year every four years. This is very close, but it is actually for 11 minutes is too long. It is about three days every four centuries of Western civilization slowly pushed out of phase with the sun. Gregorian calendar, first proposed in 1582 and aims to balance the drift. As he took the country to have their calendars for 10 or 11 days.

But as early as 44 BC, the Julian calendar is probably three days after the Gregorian calendar. So if you're willing to celebrate the anniversary of the assassination of Caesar, and whether to close this type of information is necessary to wait for March 11 next year.
