Out of twenty youths, one, who is aged between the ages of 12 and 19, has to suffer more several losses. It may affect the youth to listen and learn.

This report was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston did the study of hearing loss. Nearly 5000 adolescents’, who are aged between 12 and 19, had been observed with their hearing screened as part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys, in 1988-94 and 2005-06.

According to a study in Australia, the use of headphones in portable music player increased the risk of hearing loss 70%. It is believed by many experts is that the use of such headphones is the primary cause of hearing loss in teens.

Intel’s next generation chips will be able to play Blu-ray 3D

Intel is one of the most popular names among laptop and desktop users. It is hard to get anyone who don’t use this processor or don’t hear the name of it. Intel is the world’s largest semiconductor chip maker based on revenue.

Chips based on the Sandy Bridge architecture will allow the users to play Blu-ray 3D movies on their laptop and at the same time preserve battery life. Users won’t have to buy a separate graphics processor to specifically view 3D content.

According to Knupffer, Sandy Bridge chips will go under production later this year. If the announcement of the company officials right then it will hit store shelves in the first half of next year.

On September 13-15, there will be an Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco to give more focus Sandy Bridge's graphics performance.

It is interesting to see that both CPU and graphics processor will be integrated on a single chip. However, what makes it different from the current generations of chips based on the Westmere architecture is that it has the CPU and graphics core on one piece of silicon, but as separate unites.

PC World reported:

The higher levels of integration will also help Intel cram in more transistors to improve graphics performance, Brookwood said. The Sandy Bridge CPUs and GPUs will be made using the 32-nanometer process, while with current chips, the CPU and GPU are made using the 32-nm process and the 45-nm process, respectively.

No doubt, it will make graphics performance easier and faster. Let’s see how this invention will change our life.

Perhaps, different interface and the presence of social gaming apps like FarmVille, FishVille, Mafia Wars, Sudoku and many more helped Facebook to topple Orkut in terms unique visitors.

In collaboration with Sprint Nextel, the third largest wireless telecommunications network in the United States, Samsung will launch its latest 4G-capable mobile phone, Epic 4G, that will cost around $249.99 with a two-year contract and $100 rebate. It will come in the market by the end of August in 2010.

It is said that the price of Epic 4G surpasses the cost of the first 4G handset, HTC EVO 4G, because of its big display, a slider keyboard and much higher speed.

The increase of 4G services can keep an important role to survive Sprint in the US wireless market from losing its market share continuously. This company keeps continuing to provide enhanced services such as faster wireless speed, a 3G/4G smartphone and unlimited data plans on account of regaining its lost market share.

It seems that Sprint is soon going to face tough competition because its prominent rivals AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc. are planning to launch 4G services.

England vs Hungary Time and Live Score: International Friendly match 2010

England national football team is going to take on Hungary in a friendly football match that will take place at Wembley Stadium. This match will kick off at 20:00 BST.

It is going to be their first match since their dismal performance in the recently concluded World Cup in South Africa where they were beaten 4-1 by Germany in the last 16.

Despite being a friendly match, it is going to be a tough challenge for English football manager, Fabio Capello, as he will send a team combining of young breeds. This match will create chance for young players to show their skill and talent. It is also true that with this opportunity, new players will be able to gain some experience. Fans are excitedly waiting to see how young players perform against the experienced and elder players.

England football team should look for support from both fans and media before going to take on the opponent team. Their match against Hungary is going to be the only match before the European Championship qualifying round that is scheduled to start in September.

Among the 23-man World Cup squad, only 10 players return to the squad. With the aim of producing more future stars, Capello freshening up the national squad by selecting young players like Arsenal duo- Jack Wilshere and Kieran Gibbs.

Eighteen-year-old Jack Wilshere will be the 10th youngest England international of all time. It is also expected that twenty-year-old Kieran Gibbs is likely to play an important role for his national team.

Twenty-nine-year-old Fulham striker Bobby Zamora has been called up in the nation squad for the first time. He would make his debut for England against Hungary. His eye-catching effort in the last season, 21 goals and a place in the European League final, helps him to get this surprising promotion. However, because of his injury, he could not play in the World Cup. It seems that he is going to end his long wait after being called up in the team.

Other players who have been called in the team are under-21 keepers Scott Loach and Frankie Fielding.

When they will face Hungary for Wednesday’s friendly match, there will be plenty of painful memories of the past. Smashing all the criticism, English football team will try to look forward. They can ease their pain and forgot the gloomy performance in World Cup by giving a victory to their fans.

England captain, Steven Gerrard, has also opened his mouth about the criticism. He desperately wants to cheer his home fans in the future. He is confident about the performance of young studded England team.

Hungary will have to play their best game if they want to win the match against England. No doubt, it will be a difficult work for them. Perhaps, England will play their natural attacking football. Though five or six new players have the possibility to be included in the main squad, players like John Terry, Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney will have to play an important role to ensure the victory.

Baana Kathadi is a movie for the youth. It tells the story of two youngsters who have passion for flying kites. The movie focuses on the spirit of kites and the excitement.

Ramesh is a poor boy who lives in the slum of North Chennai. He was never very good in studies and spends two or three years in every class he studies. He has one passion and that is flying kites. One day while chasing a kite, Ramesh bumps into Piya, a Fashion Technology student. At this time, Piya loses her pen drive which actually gets into Ramesh’s pocket. The pen drive contained important assignment for her college.

One day, while cleaning Ramesh’s clothes, his mother finds the pen drive and returns it to Piya. Piya became very happy and decides to throw a party for Ramesh and his friends. Like Ramesh, Piya is also passionate about flying kites. In this way, the two come close and fall in love. On the day, when Ramesh was about to express his love for Piya, he accidentally spilled a pack of condom which he unknowingly picked up from one of his friends. This infuriates Piya and she dumps him.

Then one day, Ramesh’s life changes forever after he witnessed the murder of an ex-MLA by Prasanna who lives in the same area. In a series of unfortunate events, Ramesh goes to jail. The movie then shows how Ramesh overcomes his obstacles.

Is Jack Wilshere ready for England National Team?

Jack Wilshere is a very talented player for Arsenal and he is considered to be one of the greatest assets of English football for the upcoming future. There is a possibility that he can make into the English national football team as Euro 2012 qualification is going to start very soon. However, not everyone is excited and Leo Spall has written about it in the Daily Mail about it.
I agree with Leo that it is very important for Jack Wilshere to get a regular starting in Arsenal’s first squad. He failed to do so last season and was loan to Bolton. This season, there is a strong possibility that he will be able to stay at Arsenal and he will not go to Bolton again. However, there is no certainty that Wilshere will be able to feature in the first eleven for Arsene Wenger in Premier League. Champions League is another event too. It is perhaps more likely that Wilshere will be more of a reserve back bench player and will feature more in FA Cup and Carling Cup rather than Premier League and Champions League. Having said so, it should be also remembered that Arsene Wenger is the coach who is likely  to give a young player like Jack Wilshere more opportunities than any other coach in Premier League. If Wilshere was at Manchester United or Chelsea or Liverpool , there would have been hardly any possibility for him to get any match experience. Under Wenger, there is more possibility.
Wilshere must work harder and try to become a regular at Arsenal in both Champions League and Premier League. If he can do so then there is strong possibility that he will be able to play in England national team.
