E- waste threatens ecology and health
The electronic waste generated due to discarded computers, mobile phones and other gadgets is all set to take a heavy toll on human health and the environment in India unless immediate steps are taken to collect and recycle this waste.
By 2020, e-waste from old computers will have jumped by 500 per cent from 2007 levels in the country, a UN report released on Monday has warned.
The waste from old television sets and discarded refrigerators will double or triple during this period, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) stated in the report "Recycling — from E-Waste to Resources". The waste from mobile phones would rise 18 times by 2020.
Most e-waste in the country is improperly handled, much of it incinerated by backyard recyclers to recover valuable metals like gold. This type of recycling in the informal sector releases steady plumes of far-reaching toxic pollution and yield very low metal recovery rates compared to well equipped industrial recycling facilities.
Currently, India generates over 100,000 tons of waste from refrigerators, 2,75,000 tons from TVs, 56,300 tons from personal computers, 4,700 tons from printers and 1,700 tons from mobile phones. This data does not include waste imports, both legal and illegal, which are substantial in volume.
"India, Brazil, Mexico and others may also face rising By Mail Today Bureau in New Delhi environmental damage and health problems if e- waste recycling is left to the vagaries of the informal sector," said UN under-secretary general Achim Steiner, also the executive director of the UNEP. Sales of electronic products in countries such as China and India are set to rise sharply in the next 10 years. Unless action is stepped up to properly collect and recycle materials, these countries face the spectre of hazardous e- waste mountains with serious consequences for the environment and public health, the report said. The e-waste would include old and dilapidated desk and laptop computers, printers, mobile phones, pagers, digital photo and music devices, refrigerators, toys and televisions.
Manufacturing mobile phones and personal computers consumes 3 per cent of the gold and silver mined worldwide each year, 13 per cent of palladium and 15 per cent of cobalt. Modern electronics contain up to 60 different elements — many valuable, some hazardous, and some both. Globally, more than 1 billion mobile phones were sold in 2007, up from 896 million in 2006.
The global e- waste generation is growing by about 40 million tons a year.
In addition to curbing health problems, proper recycling can boost employment, cut greenhouse gas emissions and recover a wide range of valuable metals including silver, gold, palladium, copper and indium, the report said.
RISK FACTOR
Global e- waste up 40mn tons a year
E-waste contains lead, mercury, cadmium, and polybrominated flame retardants. These are persistent, bio-accumulative toxins (PBTs) and create eco and health risks when computers are recycled
Incineration of e-wastes leads to release of mercury vapour, while burning of PVC plastic releases highly toxic dioxins and Furans
Released gases, acid solutions, toxic smoke and contaminated ashes endanger health of workers in backyard recycling
PBTs can enter food chain when released in ecosystem

Earth in the Beginning
The early Earth was a vision of hell, all scalding rock and choking fumes. Since then, its surface has cooled, continents have drifted, mountains have risen and eroded, and life has emerged, benign and green. Nearly all traces of the planet as it was have been wiped away. But from clues in the oldest rocks, deepest magmas, and even the cratered face of the moon, scientists have traced the planet's beginnings.
As those early days have come into focus, so have the rare scenes, found today in some of Earth's harshest places, that recall its ancient self.
Its birth pangs began some 4.6 billion years ago as rock and ice particles swirling around the young sun collided and merged, snowballing to produce ever larger planetary building blocks. In violent pileups, they smashed together to create planets, including the infant Earth. In the turmoil, another body, as big as Mars, struck our planet with the energy of trillions of atomic bombs, enough to melt it all the way through.
Most of the impactor was swallowed up in the bottomless magma ocean it created. But the collision also flung a small world's worth of vaporized rock into orbit. Debris quickly gathered itself into a ball, and since then Earth history has unfolded beneath the blank stare of the moon.
After the moon's fiery birth, the Earth's surface cooled. Even so, our planet remained an alien world for the next 700 million years; scientists call this time the Hadean, after the Greek underworld. Rafts of solid rock drifted in the magma like dark ice floes.
Gases hissed from the cooling rock—carbon dioxide, nitrogen, water vapor, and others-enveloping the planet in a scalding atmosphere devoid of oxygen. As the temperature dropped further, the steam condensed into rain that tell in primordial monsoons and filled the ocean basins.
These first oceans may have been short-lived. Space rubble left over from the birth of the planets-chunks of rock tens to hundreds of miles across-bombarded Earth throughout the Hadean. The greatest impacts might have boiled the oceans away, forcing the process of cooling and condensation to begin again.
By 3.8 billion years ago the impacts relented. Liquid water could persist. About that time, perhaps in the oceans, lifeless chemical reactions crossed a threshold, producing molecules complex enough to reproduce themselves and evolve toward greater complexity. Life was on a road that led, as early as 3.5 billion years ago, to single-celled, blue-green cyanobacteria that flourished in the sunlit parts of the oceans.
By the trillions, these microscopic organisms transformed the planet. They captured the energy of the sun to make food, releasing oxygen as a waste product. Little by little they turned the atmosphere into breathable air, opening the way to the diversity of life that followed.
Those days are long gone, but the processes that turned our planet from a hell to a habitable world are still on view today. Primordial heat left over from the planet's formation still bursts out in volcanic eruptions, spilling lava that exudes gases like the young, cooling Earth.
In the planet's harshest environments today, cyanobacteria reign as they have for billions of years. And each time a plant gains a toehold on newly cooled lava, the victory of life over lifeless rock—won so long ago on the young Earth-is affirmed again.

You can soon buy a smart card for travel across cities
Some months from now, you will be able to travel on a variety of modes of public transport - buses, local trains, the Metro - in select cities, using just one smart card. The common mobility card, called the 'One India Card', that the urban development ministry is currently working on, will be introduced first in Delhi on a pilot basis, shortly before the Commonwealth Games start in October. It will then be extended to Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Chandigarh.
With a single card - and without buying any ticket - a commuter will be access trains and buses in all these cities once transport operators modernise their fleet to make them compatible for use with smart cards. "It will be a multipurpose card, valid for all operators - government as well as private - and on all modes of local travel. It can be extended to taxis too at a later stage. In time, it will be possible to buy inter-city travel tickets and utility items as well using the card," said M. Ramachandran, urban development secretary.
The funding will be shared by central government under its flagship Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission and by the respective transport operators in the concerned cities.

Nokia 5800 vs 5530 XpressMusic
The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, the first touchscreen phone powered by Symbian Series 60 5th Edition was introduced in October 2008 and hit the markets during November 2008. Since it’s release, Nokia has had great success with the phone selling millions of units worldwide.
Initially the 5800 was available in Blue and Red variants which were, in time followed by a Black/Silver variant. A 5800 Navigation Edition was announced recently to celebrate the success of the 5800.
The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic was announced as a variant to the 5800 XpressMusic in June 2009 and is set to release worldwide in August 2009. The Indian release is scheduled for 25th August 2009.
At first glance, both the handsets appear to be the same feature wise. However, these handsets are quite different despite them sharing a lot of similarities.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of each compared to the other? Well thats what will be explained below.
Since the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic was the first handset, let’s have look at it’s features first.
Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Features:
■111 x 51.7 x 15.5 mm, 109 grams
■3.2 inch Resistive Touchscreen, 360*640 Resolution
■81MB Memory, 128MB RAM, micro-SD Card Slot (8GB Card Included)
■GPRS, HSCSD, EDGE, 3G, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, micro-USB
■3.15 Megapixel Camera, Autofocus, LED Flash, Carl Zeiss Optics
■VGA Video Recording at 30Fps, Secondary Video Call Camera
■S60 5th Edition, 434mhZ Processor
■GPS with A-GPS support
■1320 mAH Battery, 3.5mm Audio Jack
Nokia 5530 XpressMusic Features:
■104 x 49 x 13 mm, 107 grams
■2.9 inch Resistive Touchscreen, 360*640 Resolution
■70MB Memory, 128MB RAM, micro-SD Card Slot (4GB Card Included)
■GPRS, HSCSD, EDGE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, micro-USB
■3.15 Megapixel Camera, Autofocus, LED Flash
■VGA Video Recording at 30Fps
■S60 5th Edition, 434mhZ Processor
■1000 mAH Battery, 3.5 mm Audio Jack
By looking at the specifications, we can realise that the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is more feature packed than the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic.
Things that the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic has but the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic lacks:
■GPS
■3G and HSDPA
■Carl Zeiss Optics
■Video Call Camera
The 5800 XpressMusic also has a bigger screen and a bigger capacity battery.
The 5530 XpressMusic also has some advantages such as being smaller in size and having a more attractive design.
But the main point of introducing a handset with lesser features is to create a cheaper version of the 5800 for the people who can’t afford to purchase the 5800 or even for the people who do not use all the 5800 features. Thus the touchscreen mania helps to reach a wider audience.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each compared to the other? Well thats what will be explained below.
Since the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic was the first handset, let’s have look at it’s features first.
Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Features:
■111 x 51.7 x 15.5 mm, 109 grams
■3.2 inch Resistive Touchscreen, 360*640 Resolution
■81MB Memory, 128MB RAM, micro-SD Card Slot (8GB Card Included)
■GPRS, HSCSD, EDGE, 3G, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, micro-USB
■3.15 Megapixel Camera, Autofocus, LED Flash, Carl Zeiss Optics
■VGA Video Recording at 30Fps, Secondary Video Call Camera
■S60 5th Edition, 434mhZ Processor
■GPS with A-GPS support
■1320 mAH Battery, 3.5mm Audio Jack
Nokia 5530 XpressMusic Features:
■104 x 49 x 13 mm, 107 grams
■2.9 inch Resistive Touchscreen, 360*640 Resolution
■70MB Memory, 128MB RAM, micro-SD Card Slot (4GB Card Included)
■GPRS, HSCSD, EDGE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, micro-USB
■3.15 Megapixel Camera, Autofocus, LED Flash
■VGA Video Recording at 30Fps
■S60 5th Edition, 434mhZ Processor
■1000 mAH Battery, 3.5 mm Audio Jack
By looking at the specifications, we can realise that the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is more feature packed than the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic.
Things that the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic has but the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic lacks:
■GPS
■3G and HSDPA
■Carl Zeiss Optics
■Video Call Camera
The 5800 XpressMusic also has a bigger screen and a bigger capacity battery.
The 5530 XpressMusic also has some advantages such as being smaller in size and having a more attractive design.
But the main point of introducing a handset with lesser features is to create a cheaper version of the 5800 for the people who can’t afford to purchase the 5800 or even for the people who do not use all the 5800 features. Thus the touchscreen mania helps to reach a wider audience.

Regex For Creating Usernames
A regular expression (called regex) is a way for a programmer to instruct how a program should look for a specified pattern in text and then what it should do when each pattern match is found. Rather than going through each character of a string and doing matches, regex makes life easier for programmers to do search and matches. This sample regex is a good pattern for use in creating usernames.
The regex below means that only alphanumeric (only lowercase letters) are allowed including an underscore and a dot.
^[a-z0-9_.]$
Email Using JavaMail
avaMail, a technology from Java allows programmers to develop code that can send emails whether in plain text or HTML. Here’s a short easy code to send email to a recipient.
public static boolean send(String replyTo, String from_email, String to_email, String subject, String body, String type) {
boolean sent = false;
try {
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.setProperty(”mail.smtp.localhost”, “localhost”);
prop.setProperty(”mail.smtp.port”, “25″);
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(prop);
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setSubject(subject);
InternetAddress from = new InternetAddress(from_email);
InternetAddress to = new InternetAddress(to_email);
msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, to);
msg.setFrom(from);
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart(”related”);
BodyPart htmlPart = new MimeBodyPart();
if (type.equals(”html”)) htmlPart.setContent(body, “text/html”);
else htmlPart.setContent(body, “text/plain”);
multipart.addBodyPart(htmlPart);
msg.setContent(multipart);
Transport transport = session.getTransport(”smtp”);
transport.connect(USERNAME, PASSWORD); // username, password to connect to smtp server
transport.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());
transport.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(”[MailTool] send() : ” + e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
return sent;
}
Notice the line that says transport.connect(USERNAME, PASSWORD);
That line is optional in case you have set your SMTP server for authentication before emails are sent out by the mail server. The method also provides the option to let you send the email as plain text or HTML. Just set the value to html if you want it to be sent as HTML.

Train tickets sold out online in mins
Train tickets sold out online in mins
The study, conducted by the Passenger Marketing Cell, revealed that bookings touched the waitlist mark in a record two minutes after they opened at 8am for the Pandyan Express. Bookings also touched the RAC or waitlist mark in less than 10 minutes for the Nellai Express, Pothigai Express, Pearl City Express, Ananthapuri Express, Rockfort Express, Niligiri Express and Cheran Express. The only exception was the Kannya Kumari Express - it took 16 minutes for the tickets to get sold out.
Backed by a similar experience last year, Southern Railway studied the pattern of bookings and found that 65% of tickets were booked online and the rest through the 95 passenger reservation (PRS) counters spread over Chennai, Coimbatore, Coimbatore, Dindigul, Erode, Madurai, Trichy, Rajapalayam, Rameswaram, Sivakasi, Tirunelveli, Thiruvananthapuram, Tuticorin and other centres.
The PRS system is capable of processing 20 to 30 successful transactions per second. This means that in one minute 1,200 to 1,800 transactions can be successfully completed, with reservations of around 2,000 persons. The total number of berths available for a day on popular trains is approximately 10,000 berths. At the current speed of processing, the time taken for 10,000 successful transactions would be just 8.33 minutes, according to an assessment made by Southern Railway officials.
Officials have also ruled out the popular belief that the berths were cornered by agents of the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), who book online. "It was found that the total number of bookimgs done by these agents for berths in Nellai, Pandiyan, Kanyakumari, Ananthapuri and RockFort were only 80. However, the total numbers of bookings done on the internet for the five trains were 841 on the same day."
The study also revealed that 95% of online bookings were done by individuals, not agents. The trend was all-India, and not peculiar to the zone, a press release pointed out.
