GIRLS BE CAREFUL- Beware while using the trial rooms any where.

HI All,

Have you seen recent advertisement of M/S SAINT GOBAIN GLASSES shown in TELEVISION'S - Then you must have known about 2 Way mirror)

How to determine if a mirror is 2 way or not ? (Not a Joke!)

Not to scare you, but to make sure that you aware. Many of the Hotels and Textile showrooms cheat the customers this way.

HOW TO DETECT A 2-WAY MIRROR?

When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc., How many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror I.e., they can see you, but you can't see them. There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms or bathroom or bedrooms.

It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by just looking at it. So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of

Mirror we are looking at?

CONDUCT THIS SIMPLE TEST:

Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is a GENUINE mirror.

However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE, IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR! (There may be someone seeing you from the other side). So remember, every time you see a mirror, do the "fingernail test." It doesn't cost you anything. It is simple to do.

This is a really good thing to do. The reason there is a gap on a real mirror, is because the silver is on the back of the mirror UNDER the glass. Whereas with a two-way mirror, the silver is on the surface. Keep it in mind! Make sure and check every time you enter in hotel rooms.

New method finds networks of genes behind obesity

The researchers developed a new method of analyzing DNA and used it to discover that obesity is not only complex - something already known -- but complex in ways that had not been previously understood.

"Obesity is not a disease that is the result of a single change to a single gene. It changes entire networks," said Eric Schadt, executive director of Genetics at Merck Research Laboratories.

His team identified networks of hundreds of genes that appear to be thrown out of kilter when mice are fed a high-fat diet."This network is completely rocked by exposure to a high-fat, Western-type diet," Schadt said.They then turned to a database of Icelandic people being studied by Decode Genetics Inc and found people have the same networks. The joint teams did a detailed study of 1,000 blood samples and almost 700 samples of fat tissues from some of the Icelandic volunteers.

This showed that people who have a higher body mass index, a measurement of obesity, have characteristic patterns of gene activation in their fatty tissues not seen in DNA taken from blood.

"What it says it that the common forms of these diseases are very complex," said Schadt. "Simple genetic tests cannot detect these networks," said Schadt, who also works at Merck subsidiary Rosetta Inpharmatics in Seattle.Schadt said his team hoped to study these networks and identify the genes most key to causing disease.

New drugs can be designed to target their activity, he said.Companies can also profit from making tests to detect a person's particular pattern and his or her risk of various diseases related to overeating.

IMMUNE SYSTEM

"Good diet and exercise is still probably the best treatment or way to prevent the onset of obesity," Schadt said. "If you are not going to alter your lifestyle, we can identify what network is going to be most significantly altered. Then we can bring that network more into a state to where it looks like when you are on a normal diet." Schadt's team, writing in two studies published in the journal Nature, said the diseases of obesity appear to originate in the immune system. "The network is enriched for genes that are involved in macrophages," Schadt said. "In a normal state these things are keeping you free of infection and fighting off things that want to harm your body. This network is also significantly changed when you are on a high-fat diet," he added.


Some people have networks that predispose them to diabetes when they become obese, others to high cholesterol and clogged arteries. Some network patterns appeared to predispose some people to so-called metabolic syndrome, in which patients develop a cluster of symptoms including high blood sugar, high blood pressure and clogged arteries. And a lucky few can become obese with no apparent direct health consequences, at least as concerns heart disease and diabetes.
