Every Indian should know this!!!

See how Lokpal Bill can curb the politicians, Circulate it to create
awareness ****
      *Existing System* ****
*System Proposed by civil society* ****
*No politician or senior officer ever goes to jail despite huge
evidence*because Anti Corruption Branch (ACB) and CBI directly come
under the
government. Before starting investigation or prosecution in any case, they
have to take permission from the same bosses, against whom the case has to
be investigated. ****
Lokpal at centre and Lokayukta at state level will be independent bodies.
ACB and CBI will be merged into these bodies. They will have power to
initiate investigations and prosecution against any officer or politician
without needing anyone’s permission. Investigation should be completed
within 1 year and trial to get over in next 1 year. *Within two years, the
corrupt should go to jail.* ****
*No corrupt officer is dismissed from the job *because Central Vigilance
Commission, which is supposed to dismiss corrupt officers, is only an
advisory body. Whenever it advises government to dismiss any senior corrupt
officer, its advice is never implemented. ****
Lokpal and Lokayukta will have *complete powers to order dismissal of a
corrupt officer.* CVC and all departmental vigilance will be merged into
Lokpal and state vigilance will be merged into Lokayukta. ****
*No action is taken against corrupt judges* because permission is required
from the Chief Justice of India to even register an FIR against corrupt
judges. ****
Lokpal & Lokayukta shall have *powers to investigate and prosecute any judge
* without needing anyone’s permission. ****
*Nowhere to go* - People expose corruption but no action is taken on their
complaints. ****
Lokpal & Lokayukta will have to *enquire into and hear every complaint.* ***
*
*There is so much corruption within CBI and vigilance departments*. Their
functioning is so secret that it encourages corruption within these
agencies.   ****
*All investigations in Lokpal & Lokayukta shall be transparent.* After
completion of investigation, all case records shall be open to public.
 Complaint against any staff of Lokpal & Lokayukta shall be enquired and
punishment announced within two months. ****
*Weak and corrupt people are appointed as heads* of anti-corruption
agencies. ****
*Politicians will have absolutely no say in selections *of Chairperson and
members of Lokpal & Lokayukta. Selections will take place through a
transparent and public participatory process. ****
*Citizens face harassment* in government offices. Sometimes they are forced
to pay bribes. One can only complaint to senior officers. No action is taken
on complaints because senior officers also get their cut. ****
Lokpal & Lokayukta will get *public grievances resolved in time bound manner
*, impose a penalty of Rs 250 per day of delay to be deducted from the
salary of guilty officer and award that amount as compensation to the
aggrieved citizen. ****
*Nothing in law to recover ill gotten wealth. *A corrupt person can come out
of jail and enjoy that money. ****
*Loss* caused to the government due to corruption *will be recovered* from
all accused. ****
*Small punishment for corruption-* Punishment for corruption is minimum 6
months and maximum 7 years. ****
*Enhanced punishment -* The punishment would be minimum 5 years and maximum
of life imprisonment. ****
Dear All,   Please go through the details carefully & try to be part of this
mission against corruption. Things to know about Anna Hazare and Lok pal
Bill-:   ****
1.Who is Anna Hazare? ****
An ex-army man(Unmarried). Fought 1965 Indo-Pak war. ****
  ****
2.What's so special about him? ****
He built a village Ralegaon Siddhi in Ahamad Nagar district, Maharashtra. **
**
  ****
3.This village is a self-sustained model village. Energy is produced in the
village itself from solar power, biofuel and wind mills. In 1975, it used to
be a poverty clad village. Now it is one of the richest village in India. It
has become a model for self-sustained, eco-friendly & harmonic village.
                          ****
4. This guy, Anna Hazare was awarded Padma Bhushan and is a known figure for
his social activities. ****
  ****
5. He is supporting a cause, the amendment of a law to curb corruption in
India. ****
  ****
6. How that can be possible? ****
He is advocating for a Bill, The Lok Pal Bill (The Citizen Ombudsman Bill),
that will form an autonomous authority who will make politicians
(ministers), bureaucrats (IAS/IPS) accountable for their deeds.   ****
  ****
7. It's an entirely new thing right..? ****
In 1972, the bill was proposed by then Law minister Mr. Shanti Bhushan.
Since then it has been neglected by the politicians and some are trying to
change the bill to suit their theft (corruption). ****
  ****
8. Oh.. He is going on a hunger strike for that whole thing of passing a
Bill ! How can that be possible in such a short span of time? The first
thing he is asking for is: the govt should come forward and announce that
the bill is going to be passed. Next, they make a joint committee to DRAFT
the LOK PAL BILL. 50% government participation and 50%   public
participation. Bcoz u can't trust the government entirely for making such a
bill which does not suit them. ****
  ****
9.What will happen when this bill is passed? ****
A LokPal will be appointed at the centre. He will have an autonomous charge,
say like the Election   Commission of India. In each and every state,
Lokayukta will be appointed. The job is to bring all alleged party to trial
in case of corruptions within 1 year. Within 2 years, the guilty will be
punished.
                        ****
  ****
Pass this on n show ur support..

LETTER OF THE EDITOR OF "THE TIMES OF INDIA " TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA

LETTER OF THE EDITOR OF "THE TIMES OF INDIA " TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA

I am born and brought up in Mumbai for last fifty eight years. Believe me,
corruption in Maharashtra is worse than that in Bihar . Look at all the
politicians, Sharad Pawar, Chagan Bhujbal, Narayan Rane, Bal Thackray ,
Gopinath Munde, Raj Thackray, Vilasrao Deshmukh all are rolling in money.
Vilasrao Deshmukh is one of the worst Chief ministers I have seen. His only
business is to increase the FSI every other day, make money and send it to
Delhi , so Congress can fight next election. Now the clown has found new way
and will increase FSI for fishermen, so they can build concrete houses right
on sea shore. Next time terrorists can comfortably live in those houses,
enjoy the beauty of the sea and then attack our Mumbai at their will.
Recently, I had to purchase a house in Mumbai. I met about two dozen
builders. Everybody wanted about 30% in black. A common person like me knows
this and with all your intelligence agency & CBI, you and your finance
ministers are not aware of it. Where all the black money goes? To the
underworld, isn't it? Our politicians take help of these goondas to vacate
people by force. I myself was victim of it. If you have time please come to
me, I will tell you everything.
If this has been a land of fools, idiots, then I would not have ever cared
to write to you this letter. Just see the tragedy. On one side we are
reaching moon, people are so intelligent; and on the other side, you
politicians have converted nectar into deadly poison.I am everything  -
Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Scheduled Caste, OBC, Muslim OBC, Christian
Scheduled Caste, and Creamy Scheduled Caste; only what I am not is INDIAN.
You politicians have raped every part of Mother India by your policy of
divide and rule.
Take example of our Former President Abdul Kalam. Such an intelligent
person; such a fine human being. But you politician didn't even spare him
and instead choose a worthless lady who had corruption charges and
insignificant local polititian of Jalgaon WHO'S NAME ENTIRE COUNTRY HAD NOT
HEARD BEFORE. Its simple logic your party just wanted a rubber stamp in the
name of president. Imagine SHE IS SUPREME COMMANDER OF INDIA 'S THREE
DEFENCE FORCES. What morale you will expect from our defence forces? Your
party along with opposition joined hands, because politicians feel they are
supreme and there is no place for a good person.
Dear Mr Prime minister, you are one of the most intelligent person, a most
learned person. Just wake up, be a real SARDAR. First and foremost, expose
all selfish politicians. Ask Swiss banks to give names of all Indian account
holders. Give reins of CBI to independent agency. Let them find wolves among
us. There will be political upheaval, but that will be better than dance of
death which we are witnessing every day. Just give us ambience where we can
work honestly and without fear. Let there be rule of law. Everything else
will be taken care of.
Choice is yours Mr. Prime Minister. Do you want to be lead by one person, or
you want to lead the nation of 100 Crore people?
Prakash B. Bajaj
Editor Mumbai-Times of India
PLEASE READ N FORWARD TO AS MANY PEOPLE IN YOUR CONTACT LIST..............*

என்ன தான் நடக்கிறது கூடங்குளத்தில்...?

என்ன தான் நடக்கிறது கூடங்குளத்தில்...? திரைமறைவு பின்னணி
நெல்லை மாவட்டம் கூடங்குளத்தில், அணுமின் நிலையம் அமைக்கும் திட்டம், கடந்த
2001ல் துவக்கப்பட்டது. ரஷ்யாவுடன் இணைந்து, 13 ஆயிரத்து, 615 கோடி ரூபாய்
செலவில், 2,000 மெகாவாட் தயாரிக்க உருவாக்கப்பட்ட இத்திட்டத்தில், அடுத்த
மாதம், மின் உற்பத்தி துவக்க நாள் குறித்தாகி விட்டது.
ஆனால், வெண்ணை திரண்டு வரும்போது தாழியை உடைத்த கதையாக, இத்திட்டத்தை
செயல்படுத்தக் கூடாது என்றொரு குரல், பல முனைகளில் இருந்து ஒலிக்கிறது. இதன்
பின்னணி என்ன என்பது பற்றி விசாரணை செய்தபோது கிடைத்த தகவல்கள்:
அமெரிக்காவில், அமைதிக்கான பிஎச்.டி., படிப்பு முடித்தவர் தான், கூடங்குளம்
போராட்டக் குழுவின் ஒருங்கிணைப்பாளராக உள்ளார். இவர், கூட்டப்புளி, இடிந்தகரை,
பெரியவிளை, கூடங்குளம் பாதிரியார்கள், இவர்களுக்கு மேல் உள்ள, தூத்துக்குடி,
மதுரை மறைமாவட்டம் ஆகியவற்றின் தலைமை பாதிரியார்களையும் சேர்த்துக் கொண்டு,
போராட்டத்தை வலுவாக்கி வருகிறார். உள்ளூர் மீனவ சமூகமான, "பெர்னாண்டோ இனம்'
என்ற அடிப்படையிலும், இவர்களை ஒருங்கிணைத்துள்ளார்.
*மக்கள் ஆதரவு:*
தென்மாவட்டங்களுக்கு தலைமை தாங்கும், தலைமை பாதிரியாரின் பூர்வீகம், கூடங்குளம்
என்பதால், அவரும் தன் பங்குக்கு, போராட்டத்தை வழிநடத்தி வருகிறார். அணுமின்
நிலையத்திற்கு நிலம் கொடுத்தவர்கள், அங்கு பணியில் உள்ளவர்கள், அணுமின் நிலையம்
வர வேண்டும் என, விரும்புகின்றனர். ஆனால், சுற்றியுள்ள பகுதிகளின்
போராட்டத்தால், நெருக்கடிக்கு ஆளாகி, அமைதியாக உள்ளனர்.இவர்களது நெருக்கடியால்,
"ஹவுஸ் கீப்பிங்' பணி கான்ட்ராக்ட் எடுத்திருந்த, மகளிர் சுயஉதவிக் குழு
பெண்களும், மனம் மாற்றப்பட்டுள்ளனர். உள்ளூர் தேவாலயங்களிலும், மக்களிடம் பேசி,
மன மாற்றம் செய்யப்படுகிறது.
*ஆதரவு சக்திகளின் வேலை:*
கூடங்குளம் மின் நிலையம், இந்திய - ரஷ்ய கூட்டு முயற்சியில் உருவாவதை, அமெரிக்க
ஆதரவு சக்திகள் விரும்பவில்லை எனக் கூறப்படுகிறது. இந்த பின்னணியிலேயே, இந்த
போராட்டம் உருவெடுத்துள்ளதாக, சர்வதேச அணுசக்தி வட்டாரங்கள் கருதுகின்றன.இந்த
பின்னணியை அறிந்து கொண்ட பிரதமர் மன்மோகன் சிங், கத்தோலிக்க கிறிஸ்தவர்கள்
கூட்டமைப்பு தலைவரும், மும்பை கார்டினலுமான, கிரேசியஸ் ஓஸ்வேல்டு மற்றும்
டில்லி ஆர்ச் பிஷப் வின்சென்ட் மைக்கேல் கன்செசோ ஆகியோரை ரகசியமாக சந்தித்து,
போராட்டத்தை முடிவுக்கு கொண்டு வர முயற்சி எடுத்தார்.இதன் எதிரொலியாக,
கூட்டப்புளி, இடிந்தகரை பாதிரியார்களை இடமாற்ற, மும்பை கார்டினல்
உத்தரவிட்டார். ஆனால், கீழே உள்ள பாதிரியார்களால் அந்த உத்தரவு புறக்கணிக்கப்
பட்டுள்ளதாக, மத்திய அரசு வட்டாரங்கள் தெரிவிக்கின்றன.போராட்டத்துக்கான
செலவுகளை, ஒருங்கிணைப்பாளர் செய்து வருகிறார். மறைமுக சக்திகளிடம் இருந்து
அவருக்கு பணம் வருவதாக கூறப்படுகிறது. இந்த போராட்டத்தை, ஊடகங்கள் மூலம், வெளி
உலகிற்கு எடுத்துச் செல்லும் பொறுப்பை, அதற்கான செலவை, அப்பகுதியைச் சேர்ந்த,
கனிமவள அதிபர் ஒருவர் செய்து வருகிறார். கூடங்குளம் அணுமின் நிலையம் வந்தால்,
அதைச் சுற்றி 15 கி.மீ., சுற்றளவுக்கு, கனிமங்கள் எடுப்பது பாதிக்கப்படும்
என்பதே, அவரது ஆதரவுக்கு காரணம் என, கூறப்படுகிறது.
தொகுதி எம்.எல்.ஏ., மற்றும் முன்னாள் எம்.எல்.ஏ., உள்ளிட்டோர், ஓட்டுக்களை
மனதில் வைத்து, ஆரம்பத்தில் போராட்டத்திற்கு ஆதரவு தெரிவித்தனர். ஆனால்,
முதல்வர் ஜெயலலிதா ஆதரவு நிலை எடுத்ததும், தொகுதி எம்.எல்.ஏ.,வைத் தவிர,
அனைத்து அரசியல் பிரமுகர்களும், போராட்டத்தில் இருந்து ஒதுங்கி விட்டனர். தமிழக
முதல்வரின் ஆதரவு நிலையால், கூடங்குளம் பாதுகாப்பில், மத்திய அரசு சில
சிக்கல்களை சந்தித்து வருகிறது.
*மத்திய அரசுக்கு தெரியும்:*
இருந்தாலும், இந்த உண்மைகள் அனைத்தையும் மத்திய அரசு அறிந்துள்ளதால், அணுமின்
நிலையத்தை துவக்குவதில் உறுதியாக உள்ளது. மாநில போலீஸ் ஒத்துழைக்காவிட்டால்,
மத்திய பாதுகாப்புடன், அணுமின் நிலையத்தை துவக்குவதில், மத்திய அரசு திடமாக
உள்ளது.

Water Powered Mobiles

Samsung Electro-Mechanics announced Thursday that it has developed a micro-fuel cell and hydrogen generator that runs on H2O.

“When the handset is turned on, metal and water in the phone react to produce hydrogen gas,” explained Oh Yong-soo, vice president of Samsung Electro-Mechanics’ research center. “The gas is then supplied to the fuel cell where it reacts with oxygen in the air to generate power.” Other fuel cells need methanol to produce hydrogen, while Samsung’s needs only water.

Since the micro-fuel cell can generate up to three watts of electricity, it could be used in mobile devices, the company said. The new fuel cell could power a handset for 10 hours, twice as long as rechargeable batteries.

“If the user uses the phone for four hours a day on average, they would have to change the hydrogen cartridge about every five days,” Oh said. “Later handsets will be developed that don’t need the hydrogen cartridges to be changed, and would only need to be filled with water.”

The water-powered cell phones are expected to enter the market by 2010. Samsung Electro-Mechanics unveiled the new technology at the 2007 Korea Electronics Show at the Korea International Exhibition Center in Ilsan, Gyeonggi Province.
So get ready for the water powered mobile phones, there might be a time in the future where you say my phone is running out of water instead of low battery! 

Mobile phone Brain cancer link rejected

Further research has been published suggesting there is no link between mobile phones and brain cancer.
The risk mobiles present has been much debated over the past 20 years as use of the phones has soared.
The latest study led by the Institute of Cancer Epidemiology in Denmark looked at more than 350,000 people with mobile phones over an 18-year period.
Researchers concluded users were at no greater risk than anyone else of developing brain cancer.
The findings, published on the British Medical Journal website, come after a series of studies have come to similar conclusions.

Phishing Defn

Phishing:

Phishing, pronounced 'fishing' has nothing to do with the activity/sport but the procedure behind it is very similar. The people behind these scams are criminals. They are thieves whose intentions are to steal your identity and gain access to your Credit Card information, Bank Account and your Ebay and Paypall account if you have one.

<>How do they do it?

It's by deception. The 'hook, line and sinker' arrives in the guise of an email. The email purports to be from your Bank, Credit Card Company, Ebay account, Paypal account etc. Phishing emails usually include official-looking logos and information taken from legitimate websites in an effort to appear convincing. The only difference is that the email will always contain some form of bad news that is intended to cause panic by the recipient. The email could contain good news such as you have money to be credited to your account.

The email will say something similar to, 'Your account has been compromised in some way' or 'We have been unable to make payment' or 'We have been unable to deposit funds in your account'. The content of these emails vary in many ways in an attempt to deceive you into believing that something terrible or good has happened.

The bottom line is that the email will request that you visit your on-line banking service etc. and provide information about yourself by logging in with your name, password and provide your account number. They will provide a link for you to do this such as www.yourbank.com. The link will also look very official but it is a disguise.

Clicking on this link will send you to a spoofed website. Web addresses in phishing emails can be disguised so that they appear to be taking you to a trusted address, but in fact they point to somewhere different that has been set up by the thieves.

The website will look very similar in appearance to your normal banking service etc. It will have the same design, layout and corporate colours. Everything will look fine but in 'panic' you don't closely examine the website. You enter the details as requested, submit them and they've got you.

The criminals then go on a spending spree with your credit card or access any other account(s) and transfer funds out of your account(s).

Here is an example of a 'phishing' email that I recently received:

==========================================
QUOTE
Dear eBay Member,

We are writing to alert you that your balance is not paid, because your
credit/debit card company declined eBay's attempt to charge your monthly
invoice amount to your credit/debit card.

Your payment is due by your next invoice date.

To speed up this process, you are required to place other credit/debit
against the account registration data we have on file.

Place or update credit/debit card on file. <<< This was the link.

As a courtesy, eBay will automatically make a second attempt to charge
your card. This attempt will take place in about 3 to 5 business days.

As a reminder, past due accounts may be restricted from buying or
selling until payment is received.

Regards,
eBay Billing Department
===========================================

You may say that the above example is obviously not an official email but please remember that the above is only an example. Some 'Phishing' emails look very official.

Thousands upon thousands of these emails are sent out every day. Most are ignored by the recipient but some do get a response and the thieves then have a field day.

<>How do I recognize a Phishing email?

i) Firstly and most important is that your on-line banking service etc. will never send you an email asking you to verify your details or ask for your password. They already know your name and account details. Any email asking you to 'verify your account', 'confirm your sign in details', or using any similar form of words, is certainly a scam. If your account has been compromised in any way then they would have contacted you by telephone and/or by general mail.

ii) If the email is allegedly from Ebay or Paypal then log into your account as you would normally. Do not use the link provided in the email. Any emails from these providers will be shown in your account.

iii) The majority of Phishing emails contain bad grammar and spelling mistakes. The above Email is a good example. Remember some are word perfect.

<>What should I do if I receive such an email?

i) Do not reply to it. By doing so you inform the perpetrators that they have made contact with an active email account and you could then receive even more of these type of emails.

ii) Telephone your Bank or Credit Card Company etc. and discuss the content of the email with them.

iii) Visit the home site of your Bank or Credit Card Company. Do not use the link provided in the email. On the official website you will find a link on how to report phishing emails. To report suspected emails to Ebay just forward the email to spoof@ebay.co.uk and with Paypal forward to spoof@paypal.com. When forwarding do not alter the email in any way whatsoever.

iv) Never click on the link in the email.

Always remember to be on your guard. If you become suspicious of any email then contact your provider and inform them.

<>I've provided my details what should I do?

You have received a phishing email and been tricked into providing your details. As a matter of urgency you should immediately:

i) Contact your Banking Service or Credit Card Company etc. and inform them what has happened.

ii) Go on-line and change your passwords to your accounts.

iii) Contact your local Police and report what has happened.

Finally, the best way to remain safe is to never disclose your password to anyone. Don't write it down and carry it on your person or leave it anywhere for others to see.

Happy computing and safe surfing.

search engine Defn

what is search Engine?
A Search Engine stores web sites in a huge database. They use a method called "keyword" searching to match up the most relevant results to a users search request. Selecting the best keywords for your query will always yield the best search results. For instance, if you are looking for help with a computer problem you are having with your Dell Latitude, entering in a search phrase such as this: "Dell Latitude trouble" would give you very poor search results. However, if you enter in specific information regarding your computer trouble, such as an error message, this would give you much more relevant results to your query. Below are a few of the most popular search engines that you can use. Ultimately, the one that you select to use all of the time is a matter of personal preference.

Google
Yahoo
MSN

Extra Tip: To find more search engines to play around with, type in: "search engines" in to any search engine's search box.

computer basics ttricks

In Windows XP, there are many things that can cause this behavior in a PC. Listed below, are only the most common reasons:

1. Hard Drive is nearing its capacity: 
Try removing programs that are no longer needed to free up some space. Be sure to use the programs uninstall tool (if available). If the program does not have an uninstall tool, then remove the program using Add/Remove Programs in your Control Panel. Also, use the Disk Cleanup tool (start>> all programs>> accessories>> disk cleanup) to free-up additional space.

2. Your files could be excessively fragmented: 
Try using the Disk Defragmenter tool (start>>all programs>>accessories>>disk defragmenter) to restore the fragmented files to their proper location.

3. Too many Icons on your Desktop: 
Excessive desktop icons will make your computer run slow. Try removing the icons (right click the icon and select delete) that you rarely use. Removing an icon from your desktop is only removing the "shortcut" to the program, not the program itself.

4. Too many programs running at Windows startup:
As you continue to download programs, all of these programs startup and run in the background. To stop these programs from running:

1. Go to Start>> Run. Type in: msconfig [Enter] or click OK.
2. Click the Startup tab.
3. All of the programs listed in this menu that have a checkmark are the programs that are currently running. Deselect (by clicking in the checkbox) the ones that you do not want to run any longer. Once you have done this, click OK.
4. Exit the Microsoft Configuration Utility.
5. You will be asked to restart your computer. Go ahead with the restart. Depending on how many programs that you've stopped from running, you could see very positive results in your computers performance.

5. Spyware Installed on Your System

Many web sites on the Internet install "spyware" on your computer so that it can actually "spy" on you. As you surf the web, more and more spyware gets installed. This will eventually begin to slow your computer very noticeably. Therefore, it is important to perform frequent anti-spyware scans with capable software to remove these unwanted parasites. A couple of programs I highly recommend are:

Adaware SE
Spybot Search and Destroy

Kids will be able to wipe out on screen monsters through accomplishing various skills on this particular Equiliberator.

This actual gadget had been developed by this group of students in effect for the challenge presented by the Shriners Motion Analysis Laboratory, and additionally it is designed for the purpose of use by kids together with the circumstances like spina bifida, cerebral palsy, or even amputations.

3.) Revitalizing Wound Healing

Researchers are producing brand new providers which will sooner or later support with the healing of chronic wounds as well as accelerate this typical ealing procedure.

Designed by the particular researchers from Ts University, the providers work through concentrating within the process associated with blood vessel expansion, that will be really essential for healing. Making off of 2 decades of research, this group has separated the peptides which cause the cells that will react to wounds as well as form completely new vessels just for blood and also nutrients. At this point, tests around animals are already encouraging.

Expects that all the peptides may very well be used to wounds like a dry powder and also stopped inside of a gel, revitalizing cells not to mention reassuring healing.

4.) Mood Responsive Lighting

A brand new interactive set up through Panasonic has the ability to modify its lighting on auto-pilot in line with the emotional flavor on the room.

The actual setting up of this new inventions in technology is being shown in the Salone del Mobile 2011 at Milan. This lighting system has been developed by Ferruccio Laviani, and it is made up of a few of the world’s most effective and compact lights. This lights appear to be loaded along with sensors which would be able to adjust the lighting based around the quantity of the peoples inside the room. This sensors are also able to understand the emotional atmosphere of the room, as well fine-tune the lights to match} the mood.

The Medical Mirror

John B. Carnett  /  Popular Science

While it can't tell you if you're the fairest of them all, the Medical Mirror can tell you your heart rate, which is probably more valuable in the long run anyway. A webcam behind the mirror captures variations in reflected light on your face, and an algorithm translates that into heartbeats.One night in late 2009, Ming-Zher Poh and his roommate, Dan McDuff, asked some friends to sit in front of a laptop. Poh, an electrical- and medical-engineering graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was trying to transform the computer’s webcam into a heart-rate monitor. He hoped that his software would allow doctors to check the vital signs of burn victims or babies without attaching uncomfortable clips, and that it would make it easier for adults to track their cardiovascular health over time. That night, the program wasn’t working in real time, but its measurements were near perfect. “Right away I knew we had something special,” Poh says.
A year and a half later, a large framed mirror embedded with a more refined version of Poh’s system sits in the MIT Media Lab. Behind the two-way glass, a webcam-equipped monitor is wired to a laptop. Stand before the mirror, and the otherwise blank monitor projects your heart rate on top of your reflection.

When your heart beats, it sends a pulse of blood through your blood vessels. Blood absorbs light, so when more of it travels through the vessels, less of the light hitting your skin is reflected. A webcam can pick up those small fluctuations in reflected light, Poh says, and a computer program can translate that data into a heart-rate reading.

How It Works: Medical Mirror: The webcam in a monitor behind the two-way mirror captures the changes in the light reflected off the subject’s face when the heart beats. The computer translates the light data into a heart rate reading.  Blanddesigns.co.uk

Researchers had tracked this effect with a high-resolution camera, but Poh wanted to use a simple webcam so that nearly every computer and smartphone could double as a heart-rate monitor. To make that possible, he developed an algorithm that could pick out the heart rate’s light pattern from all the other reflected light captured by a webcam. With help from McDuff, a grad student at the MIT Media Lab, Poh wrote code to process the data in real time, allowing the laptop to generate an instant heart-rate reading.

Poh plans to try to bring the mirror to market after he finishes his Ph.D. later this year. He says the system could be used to measure other vitals as well, including respiratory rate and blood-oxygen saturation, which should broaden its appeal. “This shows your inner health,” he says. “Maybe as people use it, they’ll say, ‘This is part of my identity. It’s not just how I look on the outside.’"
