great.  21 years ago digital one corp made the first version of todays laptop.  i had a meeting with a v.p. and tried to convince him to put a battery in it to make it capable of being used away from an electric socket.  he had a meeting about it and said that they had decided that there wasn't sufficient demand for a computer that did not need to be plugged in.   the company is now out of business.

Subject: Fwd: Reasons to keep an open mind

 

 

Being too sure that yours is the last word is tomfoolery. For Example.....

Is Your Mind Open? Reasons to keep an open mind!!! "Man will never reach the moon regardless of all future scientific          advances."  -- Dr. Lee DeForest, "Father of Radio & Grandfather of Television." "The bomb will never go off. I speak as an expert in explosives." - - Admiral William Leahy , US Atomic Bomb Project "There is no likelihood man can ever tap the power of the atom." -- Robert Millikan, Nobel Prize in Physics, 1923 "Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons." -- Popular Mechanics, forecasting the relentless march of science, 1949 "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers." -- Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM,          1943 "I have traveled the length and breadth of this country and talked with the best people, and I can assure you that data processing is a fad that won't last out the          year." --The editor in charge of business books for Prentice Hall, 1957 "But what is it good for?" -- Engineer at the Advanced Computing Systems Division of IBM, 1968, commenting on the microchip. "640K ought to be enough for anybody." -- Bill Gates, 1981 This'telephone'has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us," -- Western Union internal memo, 1876. "The wireless music box has no imaginable commercial value. Who would pay for a message sent to nobody in particular?" -- David Sarnoff's associates in response to his urgings for investment in the radio in the 1920s. "The concept is interesting and well-formed, but in order to earn better than a 'C,' the idea must be feasible," -- A Yale University management professor in response to Fred Smith's paper proposing reliable overnight delivery service. (Smith went on to found Federal Express Corp.) "I'm just glad it'll be Clark Gable who's falling on his face and not Gary Cooper," --Gary Cooper on his decision not to take the leading role in "Gone With The Wind." "A cookie store is a bad idea. Besides, the market research reports say America likes crispy cookies, not soft and chewy cookies like you make," -- Response to Debbi Fields' idea of starting Mrs. Fields' Cookies. "We don't like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out," -- Decca Recording Co. rejecting the Beatles, 1962. "Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible," -- Lord Kelvin, president, Royal Society, 1895. "If I had thought about it, I wouldn't have done the experiment. The literature was full of examples that said you can't do this," - - Spencer Silver on the work that led to the unique adhesives for 3-M          "Post-It" Notepads. "Drill for oil? You mean drill into the ground to try and find oil? You're crazy," -- Drillers who Edwin L. Drake tried to enlist to his project to drill for oil in 1859. "Stocks have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau." -- Irving Fisher, Professor of Economics, Yale University , 1929. "Airplanes are interesting toys but of no military value," -- Marechal Ferdinand Foch, Professor of Strategy, Ecole Superieure de Guerre , France . "Everything that can be invented has been          invented," -- Charles H. Duell, Commissioner, US Office of Patents, 1899. "The super computer is technologically impossible. It would take all of the water that flows over Niagara Falls to cool the heat generated by the number of vacuum tubes required." -- Professor of Electrical Engineering, New York University "I don't know what use any one could find for a machine that would make copies of documents. It certainly couldn't be a feasible business by itself." -- the head of IBM, refusing to back the idea, forcing the inventor to found Xerox. "Louis Pasteur's theory of germs is ridiculous fiction." -- Pierre Pachet, Professor of Physiology at Toulouse , 1872 "The abdomen, the chest, and the brain will forever be shut from the intrusion of the wise and humane          surgeon," -- Sir John Eric Ericksen, British surgeon, appointed Surgeon-Extraordinary to Queen Victoria 1873. And last but not least... "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." -- Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977

signs of a stroke

Subject: Stroke has a new indicator - IMPORTANT !!! this is good but better would be forwarding info on how to prevent stroke with things like aspirin, red wine, ginko, fish oil, more veggies and less saturated and trans fats, more exercise etc.    not having a stroke is much better than recognizing one after it has occurred  in which case it is usually to late to do anything effective about it. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************* Stroke has a new indicator They say if you e.mail this to ten people, you stand a chance of saving one life. Will you send this along? Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue I will continue to forward this every time it comes around! STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters..... S. T. R. STROKE IDENTIFICATION: During a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) ...she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Jane's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 PM Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this. A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. RECOGNIZING A STROKE Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR. Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions: S *Ask the individual to SMILE. T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. Chicken Soup) R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke. A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved. I have done my part. Will you?

By IAN LLOYD NEUBAUER Wednesday, Feb. 29, 2012 A herbal seller gives a 'jamu' tonic drink to her customer in Jakarta on January 15, 2010. Many Indonesians take the traditional drink made from mix of herbs and roots from excotic plants and believe in its effectiveness as health tonic drink while men take it to increase stamina and sexual power Romeo Gacad / AFP / Getty Images COMMENT PRINT EMAIL REPRINTS SHARE inShare 17 In 1990, Irish journalist Susan Jane-Beers noticed a herbal medicine clinic in the corner of a hair salon in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta, her adopted home. A victim of age-related chronic knee pain that conventional pharmaceuticals couldn't numb let alone heal, Jane-Beers decided to try jamu — traditional Indonesian medicine. The results astounded her. After three days of taking only one third of the prescribed dose of herbal pills, the pain had vanished, making her wonder if she'd found "the magic bullet of all time." Jane-Beers spent the next decade researching the origins, myths, tightly guarded recipes and commercial applications of herbal medicine in Java, where plants have been used for medicinal purposes since prehistory. Her 2001 opus Jamu: The Ancient Art of Herbal Healing remains the only definitive English guide on the subject. It's also the most widely read outside Indonesia since Herbarium Amboinense, a catalogue on plants completed by German botanist Georg Rumphius in 1690 — more than three centuries beforehand. (VIDEO: Could Home Delivery Fight Malnutrition in Indonesia?) A holistic therapy based on the notion that if disease comes from nature then so must the cure, jamu covers a dazzling array of teas, tonics, pills, creams and powders to cure — and prevent — every ailment imaginable. The ingredients are by definition cheap, widely available and simple: nutmeg to treat insomnia, guava for diarrhea, lime to promote weight loss and basil to counter body odor. Jamu has also been used to treat cancer. In her book, Jane-Beers writes of a traditional healer in the city of Jogjakarta who apparently cured what had been diagnosed as a terminal case of cervical cancer with a tea made of betel nut, Madagascar Prewinkle and mysterious 'benala' leaves. Combined with a strict soya bean diet, the patient was said to have made a full recovery in 18 months. Sound farfetched? A 2011 study by Virginia Tech's Department of Food Science and Technology on the soursop tree (the leaves of which are used to relive gout and arthritis in Indonesia) found evidence showing extracts from soursop fruit inhibit the growth of human breast cancer. Vincristine, one of 70 useful alkaloids identified in Madagascar Prewinkle, radically ups the survival rate of children with leukemia, while turmeric is being looked at as a treatment for Alzheimer's. (MORE: What's Holding Indonesia Back?) "Western medicine tries to destroy cancer but at the same time it destroys elements of the body. Jamu helps the body produce its own antibodies to fight the cancer by itself," says Bryan Hoare, manager at MesaStila, a wellness retreat in central Java that serves jamu shots with breakfast and employs a tabib — indigenous healer — for private consultations. "Coming from the earth, jamu also makes you feel good. When you take it you experience a positive feeling." But if jamu is the magic bullet, why isn't better known in the West, where natural Asian medicines like India's ayurvedic system and Chinese herbal healing have been growing in popularity for years? The answer can be found on the streets of Indonesia, where jamu is consumed regularly by 49% of the population, according to the country's Ministry of Health. Valued at $2.7 billion annually, the industry covers an incredibly wide gamut of products, from homemade tonics sold by street hawkers, to slimming powders, to cosmetics, to jamu for babies and postnatal care. Yet the bestselling in value terms are invariably the dodgiest: those claiming to boost sexual performance and or suppress appetite. "Indonesians may well have been amused when Viagra was released in 1998," Jane-Beers comments on the popularity of brands like Kuat Lekali (Strong Man), Kuku Bima (Nail of God) and Super Biul Erection Oil. "They have had their own remedies for years." (MORE: How Indonesia's Health Care System Let Me Down) Then there's the association between jamu and white magic. Many indigenous healers insist on dispensing jamu on auspicious dates or in conjunction with animist spells that predate the arrival of Islam in the archipelago. Mbah Ngatrulin, a Buddhist tabib I met in Ngadas, the highest village in Java, told me spells are the key and the jamu may as well be "mineral water." It's the kind of comment that prevents many GPs across Southeast Asia from endorsing jamu lest patients take them for quacks. According to Charles Saerang, head of the Indonesian Jamu Entrepreneurs Association, the primary impediment to a worldwide jamu craze is that locally jamu products don't meet international manufacturing standards. That hasn't stopped entrepreneurs from buying raw herbal materials in Indonesia, processing them in India and Malaysia and selling them in the U.K. — a market Indonesian made jamu products can't access. That's a double whammy for Indonesia, which loses out on value added by third parties and the chance to promote the jamu brand name abroad. It's impossible to say when, or even if, jamu painkillers will be stocked at supermarkets and convenience stores in countries like the U.K. Yet inroads are already being laid by small businesses like the Origin Spa in Melbourne, Australia. There, highly skilled practitioners apply massage developed by 16th-century Indonesian royalty — the founders of modern jamu — with creams and oils containing turmeric, betel leaves, lives and crushed eggshells. There's a minimum two-month waiting list for Origin's five-day treatment that helps women regain their figures quickly, improve lactation and dispel wind, dizziness and aches and pains. "It's surprisingly popular with the Asian mums throughout Australia," says partner Jessica Koh. "But it's still unfamiliar to most of the locals." — With reporting by Theo Manday / Ngadas MORE: Can Ancient Herbs Treat Cancer?
