4 Things about your Cell Phone

4 Things you might not have known about your  Cell Phone

For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have with you.)


There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies.

Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival.

Check out the things that you can do with it:

FIRST   (Emergency)

The Emergency Number worldwide for  Mobile  is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an Emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly, this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

SECOND   (Hidden  Battery  Power)

Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#. Your cell phone will restart with this
reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell phone next time.

THIRD   (How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone? )


To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following Digits on your phone:   
  *#06# .

A 15-digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.

If your phone is stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them
this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.


And Finally....

FOURTH   (Free Directory Service for Cells)

Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a
telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial:
(800) FREE411 FREE (800) FREE411    or (800) 373-3411 FREE (800) 373-3411    


without incurring any charge at all.  Program this into your cell phone now.

International LUX journey in bollywood

It all started with yesteryear actress Leela Chitnis in 1941. And since then there is hardly a Bollywood beauty who has not endorsed this beauty soap. We take a look at a few of the most beautiful actresses who featured in ‘lux’urious ads.

Shah Rukh Khan: Okay, so not only is he the odd man out, but he is also the only man to have endorsed Lux. We had to feature him. In his defense, he was quoted saying, “Some people think it's a girlie ad, that it questions my sexuality. But I love the idea of getting into the tub, just as I had seen all my lovely leading ladies do.”

Sridevi: Even Sridevi thought that star rankings were determined by whether you are a Lux star or not in the 1990s.

Mala Sinha: Born as Alda Sinha, Mala was one of the most popular and sought-after actresses of her time. Doesn’t she look stunning?

Zeenat Aman: Thanks to Zeenat’s timeless face, she was roped in to endorse the brand twice. First in the 1970s and then in the '80s.

Asha Parekh: Even the former chairperson of the Central Board of Film Certification (Censor Board) of India had hit the ‘sexy’ bath tub for a Lux ad!

Babita: If you’ve ever wondered where Kareena and Karisma Kapoor get their gorgeous looks from, take a look at this!

Hema Malini: She had once said, "One of the turning points in my career was when I was signed up by LUX. It was then that I knew I had made my mark in Indian cinema as a leading lady. To be a Lux star is a much sought-after honour amongst leading ladies and it truly means a lot to me." It may not hold true anymore but we guess it was a big deal during that time.

Madhuri Dixit: How could the dhak-dhak girl have been left behind in the Lux rat race?

Rekha: She was a sex symbol in her time. No wonder her tagline read, “I know how to get what I want”.

Saira Banu: The girl, who married a guy (Dilip Kumar) 22 years than herself, was hot property in the 60s. She rocked the ad just like her mother Naseem Banu did.

Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Portal of the TRAI!

The Indian telecom Industry with nearly 900 million subscribers is the second largest wireless market in the world. Low tariffs and direct reach to consumers has made SMS and direct calling one of the most cost effective ways of selling services and products. However, telemarketing has brought with it serious issues of invasion of privacy and has become a major irritant to customers.
To holistically curb this growing menace and effectively regulate unsolicited commercial Calls and messages, TRAI has notified "The Telecom Commercial Communication Customer Preference Regulations, 2010". All the provisions of regulations come into force from 27th September, 2011.

How to get your own unique identity number

With a mammoth exercise on to issue an Aadhar number to each of India's 1.2 billion citizens and interested residents, IANS tracks the process involved for getting what will become a unique identity for people in India to access all public or private services.

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) - under the chairmanship of Nandan Nilekani - is the nodal agency, which had appointed registrars across the country to facilitate the enrolment process.

Nilekani was one of the co-founders and previously headed IT bellwether Infosys. He enjoys cabinet rank in his present status.

Registrars are typically government departments and public sector organisations. They in turn appoint the agency to collect data. Currently, over 200 such agencies have been named including Wipro, Comat Technologies, Alankit and Virgo Softech.

"Aadhaar guarantees uniqueness and a universal identity. At its core is a centralised online identity verification process," said Atul P. Anand, director at Virgo Softech, which is one of the enrolment agencies involved in the process.

"Biometric information like iris and fingerprints ensure this uniqueness. This is also embedded and hence tamper proof. The authority uses data de-duplication process, which also makes sure that only unique data is stored," Anand told IANS.

Officials explained the enrolment is done in four stages -- verification of documents including address proof, on-the-spot capture of photos, iris and fingerprint scanning -- after which people are given acknowledgment slips at the time of enrolment.

A 12-digit unique identification number is then delivered in 20-30 days at the person's address through speed post after verification of biometrics and demographic data. Data verification is done by the authority under a centralised system.

The system ensures duplicate data is deleted, leaving only one copy to be stored.

"If you try to enrol yourself for the second time by using some different demographic information or data, you cannot do it. That's also because you can't change your iris and fingerprint. So duplicate data automatically gets deleted," said Anand.

There is also no age bar to enrol for the number.

But the unique number of a child up to five years of age is linked to that of his or her parents or guardians. On completion of 15 years of age, biometric data is updated, but the number remains the same.

The people who don't remember their date of birth and have no documents to back it can provide approximate age. Transgenders have also been included; so under gender options, there are three categories -- male, female and transgenders.

"The number can be issued to even a new-born and it remains the same throughout the life. The system is also versatile. Both biometric and demographic data can be updated," a Virgo official said. But the authority has not started the updation process.

On concerns over security and privacy issues, officials said it was, indeed, a rather big challenge and that the authority was trying to make sure that the unique identity number is not misused.

Many analysts have raised concerns that the number can be misused by anti-socials such as terrorists, since they can get it issued through fake identities during large-scale enrolments.

And once it is issued, a person can easily apply for a passport and open bank accounts.

The authority issued the Aadhaar number in September 2010 and targets 600 million people over the next four years. It has to issue every resident a unique identification number that can be used to establish the identity of the person anywhere in India.

Currently, on an average 150,000 enrolments are done each day. The number of enrolments is expected to reach six million per day by October. The task, therefore, is daunting, since the latest data places the country's population at 1.21 billion.

14-year-old Sindhuja Rajamaran is the Youngest CEO!

At an age where most girls would much rather spend their time Facebooking or gossiping about boys, 14-year-old Sindhuja Rajamaran not just has her career charted out but is India's youngest CEO and 2D animator!

Born into a family of overachievers (read: her dad is the first digital caricaturist in Tamil Nadu and her younger sister is the youngest Indian to write haiku in India), Sindhuja holds a Guinness World Record for becoming the youngest CEO of a Chennai-based animation company called Seppan.

From making short films on issues like global warming and tuberculosis to designing a greeting card for US president Barack Obama, Sindhuja Rajamaran sure has achieved a lot. She has worked on all kinds of software - Flash, Photoshop, Corel Painter, After Effects and Maya. Today, this girl heads a team of 18 to 25-year-olds, making commercials for the likes of Joyalukkas and Pothys.

So how did Sindhuja get into the field of animation? "My father was the ambassador of Corel and one day the Indian Territory Manager of Corel came home to meet my dad. During this visit he noticed me drawing with Corel when I was 11 years old. While he was leaving, he said to my dad, "From now let this girl be the ambassador for Corel." I got invited to attend several launches of Corel products and got honoured as the youngest digital caricaturist and cartoonist," she told CG Today. Sindhuja sure hit the jackpot with this one!

Now her big dream is to run her own production house and deliver quality film products respected globally. She sees herself as an employer hiring experts and novices and creating more job opportunities. Talk about dreaming big
