Argus II helps Ray Flynn to see things even with closed eyed

Ray Flynn, 80, has been unable to make out faces since he developed Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) eight years ago. But with the aid of Bionic eye Argus II now Ray can see faces, even closing his eyes.

Argus II

On 1st July Ray Flynn became the first person to be successfully imparted with bionic eye, this critical yet successful operation took four hours to its completion on June 16. As flynn's system was turned on first time on 1st July. He was made to look at the computer screen to identify black and white patterns.
 “And watching Manchester United on the television is easier. I have central vision now which I haven’t had for eight years. “Your eyes are the most precious thing. My brain is still trying to catch up and work out what is going on, but I have been told it will continue to get better," said the retired engineer of Manchester.
 This shows Argus II to be providing Central visual function that didn't exist before the implant.
             The bionic eye has already been used successfully for people suffering the condition retinitis pigmentosa but Consultant Ophthalmologist Paulo Stanga at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital wanted to know if it would work for people with AMD. Mr Flynn’s progress is truly remarkable,” said Mr Stanga. “He is seeing the outline of people and objects very effectively.
There is currently no treatment for advanced AMD. Sufferers loses their ability to see in the center of their field of vision, making it difficult to read and recognize faces. Although this advancement lit a ray of hope for India which is home to the world largest number of blind people. Of the 37 million across the globe who are blind, over 15 million are from India.

If you are a computer dependent person like me, then wrong time/date can lead you to a pathetic situation. In this article i have tried to jolt down possible causes and how fix them. Now the question arises why windows computer display wrong time/date.

Possible Causes and Ways to Fix Them

 1  

        CMOS Battery

Alternatively referred to as a Real-Time Clock (RTC), Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM) or CMOS RAM, CMOS is short for Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor. CMOS is an on-board, battery powered semiconductor chip inside computers that stores information. This information ranges from the system time and date to system hardware settings for your computer.  The standard lifetime of a CMOS battery is around 10 Years. However, this can vary depending on the use and environment in which the computer resides.

If the battery fails, the system settings, date, and time will not be saved when the computer is turned off until it has been replaced.

 2  

Incorrect Time Zone
incorrect time zone can can be set correctly by Right-clicking the system clock in your taskbar and select > Adjust date/time > Change time zone

 3    

Virus/Malware
There is nothing to do much, except Checking your Computer with Antivirus Program and update your windows. 

Quick Fixes

 1  

Synchronize Your Time To A Time Server

You can adjust your time/date with widows time server.
Right-clicking the system clock in your taskbar and select > Adjust date/time > Internet time

 2    

Use internet Browser
Now this option is just for seeing what is the actual/current time. With this you cannot alter windows time/date. But this can remind you about current date, each time you  open your internet Brower Search Google for your place's current time, like one in the picture below, and copy the url from the address bar and set it as home page of your browser.

Three years back when LED Screen of my Nokia X2-01 got damaged without showing any prior symptoms, i knew that the bill is going to be heavy. So, out of fear i kept that aside and used a Nokia 3110c (which i Previously have)instead. One day it happened that a friend of mine visited me after a long time. He enquire about my X2-01, i related him the whole story. Then he showed me his phone and it was same Nokia X2-01 model, after that he asked me to have a look at the LED screen of it. As i did i found nothing unusual and asked him what he was trying to show me? then he said that he replaced the screen all by himself and LED cost under 250. Now to be honest i didn't know any online store to sell LED screen in such cheap rate.
 But People of Kolkata must know about this place called Chandni Chawk market which is famous for selling all kind of electrical and electronics items.

 In one word it is mecca for any Electronics Geek or Hobbyist or even engineer.

There i found LED screen in such a cheap rate, but i didn't know about its manufacturer.

Now with this Video will be able to replace Led screen of Nokia X2-01 by yourself

You can search google for these terms Nokia x2-01 lcd screen price for buying LED screen online.

Starting March 23, 2015, users won't be able to publicly share images and video that are sexually explicit or show graphic nudity on Google's Blogger.

Google is cracking the whip on blogs with Adult contents, Starting March 23, 2015, you won't be able to publicly share images and videos that are sexually explicit or show graphic nudity on Blogger.

According to Search Giant "If your existing blog does have sexually explicit or graphic nude images or video, your blog will be made private after March 23, 2015. No content will be deleted, but private content can only be seen by the owner or admins of the blog and the people who the owner has shared the blog with."

 The new policy also states "If you’d rather take your blog down altogether, you can export your blog as a .xml file or archive your blog's text and images using Google Takeout."
 A Google spokesperson said, “We’ve updated our policy to fall in line with our policies across Google’s hosted products (including products like YouTube or Google+). So starting March 23, 2015, you won’t be able to publicly share images and video that are sexually explicit or show graphic nudity on Blogger.

The exceptions to this policy caution users from using "Blogger as a way to make money on adult content. For example, don't create blogs that contain ads for or links to commercial porn sites." "We’ll still allow nudity if the content offers a substantial public benefit. For example, in artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific contexts."

Well, if you are a owner of a slow speed mobile broadband like me, then you must hate the word "UPDATE" as i do. Whenever you update some program a lot of data is consumed along with speed and time. But for others i could recommend update things regularly, because with new update previous bugs are fixed along with new added features (sometimes). There is another reason not to update. Software used illegally without buying can be blocked when updated. But who cares! if you use below technique then there is no chance of a program getting updates also with this you will be able to block any program from connecting to internet.

Steps to stop a program from updating

 1   

There are two ways to to do this, one with Windows firewall and Antivirus firewall.
I will start with windows firewall. now, it may happen that when you have installed an antivirus it take hold of the windows firewall and you have only one option left that is to configure  firewall section of your Antivirus. for this see "Using Antivirus Firewall" after step8

 2  

Open Control panel, then System and Security

 3    

    Click to enter  Windows Firewall

 4    

     Click on the Advance Settings as indicated the picture

 5    

This is the Windows Firewall Menu, few things needed to be clear i.e what is Inbound/outbound rule?
can you see those in left hand side.

Inbound Rules: These are to do with other things accessing your computer. If you are running a Web Server on your computer then you will have to tell the Firewall that outsiders are allowed to connect to it.

Outbound Rules: With these you can set which programs use the Internet, and Block others. You will want to let your Web Browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera...) have access to the Internet, so you will tell Windows Firewall that it's allowed.

now click on Outbound Rule on left

 6    

   As you can see, you need to add new program to this list click New Rule on right

 7    

    Now just select the program and click Next>

 8   

    Now browse to the program(.exe) that you want to stop Updates/ Connect to Internet

Using Antivirus Firewall

 1 

I am using Avg Internet Security 2015, in that there is a section called Firewall, i am showing what i have done with this particular antivirus that i have. But different antivirus programs have different ways to doing this

 2 

 3  

    click on Applications

 4 

click Add to add program(.exe) to the list

 5 

Now Browse to the location of the program(.exe) that you want to block

If all goes correct you will see a black screen,  where Device ID and other different information about the phone is given.

In case it didn't works try this method:-
 you can download /install Device ID App which will show the device id with email address linked to play store.

3

It is  the last step which is necessary to accomplish our purpose, for this
Goto Settings> Security>Unknown sources(enable it)

4

Result- See the "Download APK" option coming.

5

Use your USB Cable (you can use bluetooth too) for transferring the downloaded .apk file to your device. When the transferring is  finished, Repeat step 3 only to Disable it. Now enjoy and don't fear to Uninstall apps.

For Those who Already Have MicroEmulator

1

  Create a shortcut for microemulator.jar file, i hope that regardless of different versions the trick will work for you. In case you need to know my version is 2.0.4

2

  Now open properties, of that shortcut , Now click in "Shortcut" Tab, here you need to change the "Target: " location address. Copy this:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\java.exe -cp microemulator.jar;lib/microemu-jsr-75.jar org.microemu.app.Main --impl org.microemu.cldc.file.FileSystem org.microemu.examples.fcview.FCViewMIDlet apps\opera-mini-4.1.11355-advanced- int.jad


 

3

  Though in the new "Target: " location address, you will find opera-mini-4.1 is written, but that doesn't matter, by this method you will be able to see Download and Save page option in any version of opera mini

For Those Who Are New / Doesn't have MicroEmulator

All the steps are necessary to successfully run any java app, i will provide download link for Pre-fixed MicroEmulator(for windows), which i had created exclusive for you, my readers, so that you need not worry for Download and Save page options in opera mini.

  You need to install Java SE Runtime Environment if you don't have it.

2

This stylus work with any Capacitive touch screen device, i.e ipad, iphone, any android smart phone or tablet, or windows mobiles

First thing that i thought after buying an android phone was that, its keypad is so congested that writing only with finger always create typos. and to buy a good stylus could cost around 600 INR or more. Then i thought of creating a stylus at home. For that, i researched a lot in Google and finally made my own stylus. 

You Can  ALSO See Construct A Microphone  For Free

But before i start describing, first it is necessary to understand how it works? the first thing which is necessary is contact between your hand and the tip that is touching the screen, else it will not work. Now for that either you can use a metallic refill(as i have done here) or you can wrap the pen/refill with aluminium foil. Be careful to watch that tip is touching the foil. Now to complete the process, dip the tip into water, squeeze little to let the excess water out, so that it remain moist.

P.S - It is not for serious kind of work, just casual typing & touch.

STEPS

Here i took my old Parker pen, there is no ink in its refill. The objective of choosing this pen is that its refill has a metallic body, Do not worry if you don't have such pen then you can just arrange for a aluminium foil, to wrap around the plastic body of your pen/refill 

I have uploaded this picture to show the metallic body of the refill.

Now remove bottom part or the tip, where you want it to touch the screen. I have selected the bottom part.

Now use cotton swabs or cotton ball to make the tip, i used cotton swabs, how much you needed it depends upon your aperture of the tip. at bottom part the aperture is sightly bigger than the top.

for that i needed one and a half swab.

 Insert the swabs/ cotton ball carefully, you can use tissue paper too!

 

    Now you need water to make the swab wet, so that it can become conductive and complete the            circuit when it touches the screen

TESTING

I added a few pictures of me testing the stylus on Spice Mi-361, and needless to say that it passed successfully.

But don't compare it with original costly stylus. It might some time miss few touches it may be due missing moisture in the cotton tip or your grip is wrong. Remember one thing in mind that it cost nothing to you, not a penny. Share and let other people know about it.

Hope you had read previous two parts of "Free Important Tools That Every Webmaster Must Know". Part one was about Cross Browser Testing, and Part two was about Checking speed and Performance of a Webpage.
Now in part three, it is time to check Responsiveness of your website. if you are a webmaster, you know how responsiveness is essential in terms of your website's look in mobile, tablet and desktop of different screen sizes. well the easiest way is to resize your browser window, but then all browser/devices might not accept all your @media query
Out of my little knowledge i will share two methods with you,  if you have other methods you can share via comment.

1. If you are chrome user, great news for you! Google Chrome has a  inbuilt way of checking responsiveness of a web page.

Just press F12  or  Ctrl + Shift + I via keyboard( for Mac press  Cmd + Opt + I ), by this you will enter Developer Tools
or just go to Chrome menu    at the top-right of your browser window, then Tools> Developer Tools.

Now click Select Model at top left corner. There you will get a list of devices and notebooks in a alphabetical order

selecting any of the devices, browser will render the webpage for that device's display. Just for example i have used one of my previous post.

2. Another is way is to go to this site: quirktools.com/screenfly/, just go and see. There is nothing to tell you about it, it is very easy to use. There you will get a lot of options like Desktop, notebook, tablets mobile, and other devices(Television etc) with large screen display.
