Heart attack in 3d animation

This 3d medical animation illustrates the story of a heart attack from a blocked coronary artery due to th inflammation of blood vessels. Beginning with damage to the endothelial arterial wall, the animation shows how a white blood cell entering the wall of the artery changes into a macrophage, grabbing and digesting cholesterol. As the cell does its job, it transforms into a foam cell, which, unfortunately, becomes part of the plaque within the blood vessel wall. Ultimately, over a period of years, the plaque grows and ruptures the blood vessel wall, spilling into the blood stream and eventually blocking the left anterior descending coronary artery supplying the left ventricle. The animation ends showing an external view of the heart with dark area representing the death of the ventricle wall

Deewali and its different Stories

Different Stories

India, the land of rich cultural heritage, has one or the other festival for every month. It is the spiritual and religious richness in India that each festival is related to some or other deity. One of such festival is the 'festival of lights' - Deepawali. It is the glorious occasion that is not restricted to one day, but extended to a five-day celebration. All through these five days, people are in a festive mood. Adding to the festivity is the colorful display of lights. Like every other Hindu festival, stories from Mythology are associated with Diwali too. Given below is information on the celebrations of Diwali. 

Stories & Legends of Deepavali

 Return of Shri Ram To Ayodhyaa: The most famous legend behind the celebrations of Diwali is about the prince of Ayodhya Nagri - Lord Shri Ram. The king of Lanka, Ravana, kidnapped Ram's wife - Sita from the jungle, where they were staying as per the instructions of King Dashratha, father of Lord Ram. In order to freed Sita from Ravana's custody, Ram attacked him. This was followed by a war, in which, Ram defeated Ravan and released Sita from his custody. On the arrival of Lord Ram along with his wife Sita, people of Ayodhya decorated their homes as well as the city of Ayodhyaa by lighting tiny diyas all over, in order to welcome their beloved prince Shri Ram and Devi Sita. 



Incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi: On the auspicious new moon day, which is 'Amavasyaa' of the Hindi month of Kartik, the Goddess of wealth and prosperity - Lakshmi was incarnated. She appeared during the churning of the ocean, which is known as 'Samudra Manthan', by the demons on one side and 'Devataas' (Gods) on the other side. Therefore, the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, the Lakshmi Pujan, on the day of Diwali, became a tradition. 

Lord Krishna Destroyed Demon Narakasur: One famous story behind the celebrations of Diwali is about the demon king Narakasur, who was ruler of Pragjyotishpur, a province to the South of Nepal. After acquiring victory over Lord Indra during a war, Narakasur snatched away the magnificent earrings of Mother Goddess Aditi, who was not only the ruler of Suraloka, but also a relative of Lord Krishna's wife - Satyabhama. Narakasur also imprisoned sixteen thousand daughters of Gods and saints in his harem. With the support of Lord Krishna, Satyabhama defeated Narakasur, released all the women from his harem and restored the magnificent earrings of Mother Goddess Aditi. 

The Return of The Pandavas: The great Hindu epic 'Mahabharata' has another interesting story related to the 'Kartik Amavasyaa'. According to the story, 'the Pandavas', the five brothers Yudhishthhira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula and Sahdeva, were sentenced to thirteen years exile as a result of their defeat against 'the Kauravas' - Duryodhana and his ninety nine brothers, at the game of dice. Therefore, the Pandavas spent thirteen years in the jungles and returned to their kingdom on the day of 'Kartik Amavasyaa'. On their return, the people of their kingdom welcomed the Pandavas by celebrating the event by lighting the earthen lamps all over in their city. 



Coronation of King Vikramaditya: Another legend or story about Diwali celebrations relates to one of the greatest Hindu King - Vikramaditya. It was the day when he was coroneted and the people celebrated this event by lighting tiny earthen 'diyas.

U.S. Takes Down Call-Center Financial Scam

Officials allege people impersonating IRS, immigration officials extracted more than $250 million from victims

Federal authorities said Thursday they had dismantled a massive call-center scheme perpetrated by individuals in the U.S. and India who bilked thousands of Americans out of hundreds of millions of dollars by posing as Internal Revenue Service and Department of Homeland Security officials.

An 81-page indictment names 56 people in the U.S. and India and five call centers in Ahmedabad, India, allegedly involved in the fraud. They were charged in a Texas federal district court in Houston with crimes including impersonation of a U.S. officer, identity theft, money laundering and wire fraud.

In the U.S., federal agents arrested 20 people in connection with the scam. Individuals were arrested in Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey and Texas.

It was unclear Thursday night if the defendants had legal representatives.

Callers in India phoned individuals in the U.S. and demanded that they make payments to clear purported unpaid taxes or debt to avoid arrest. Their co-conspirators in the U.S. collected the victims’ funds, laundered them and transferred them to India, according to the indictment.

The scheme often targeted individuals who were elderly or immigrants with solid credit scores, according to investigators. The swindlers obtained lists with names and dates of birth from aggregators and marketing companies and researched the victims before preying on them. Immigrants were told that they would be deported if they didn’t pay up, investigators said. Often a federal agency’s name showed up on the recipients’ phone identification, lending legitimacy to the call.

“For nearly four years, this criminal network used a variety of schemes to trick frightened individuals over the telephone by tapping into their worst fears—arrest, deportation and other problems with the U.S. government authorities,” said assistant attorney general Leslie R. Caldwell.

More than 15,000 people paid more than $250 million to the swindlers. One victim turned over $136,000, according to the indictment.

The fraud didn’t always end with a phone call. In Colorado Springs early this year, scammers called 911 after a man failed to withdraw money to pay four years of supposed back taxes. They told a dispatcher that the individual was armed and ready to kill cops. Within minutes, more than a dozen armed police officers surrounded his residence. No one was hurt, authorities said.

“The scammers were ruthless in their pursuit of their victims,“ said Peter T. Edge,  a senior Homeland Security Investigations official. “They conveyed authority and a sense of urgency that left their victims terrified.”

The takedown is the culmination of a three-year investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations, the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of the Inspector General and the U.S. Treasury’s Inspector General for Tax Administration. It represents the largest law-enforcement action ever conducted against a telephone scam, authorities said.

The U.S. has been struggling to combat an epidemic of scams targeting Americans online and by telephone. Authorities said that the fake call-center enterprise they cracked by tracing thousands of transactions is likely to be just the tip of the iceberg.

“We are still actively conducting other investigations, and we hope to bring more cases in the future,” said J. Russell George, inspector general for the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.

Victims described a fast-moving sequence of events in which callers ensnared them by sounding professional and conveying a sense of urgency. Many of them said they are still struggling to process what happened and to put it behind them.

“There’s a profile of a vulnerable person; I don’t fit that mold,” said Christine, a medical-device saleswoman in California in her mid-50s.

In 2014, Christine received a call from a 202 area code, which she recognized as being from Washington, D.C. A woman with an American accent identified herself as an IRS official, even citing a badge number. She quickly passed Christine to a second individual who had a strong command of the English language while speaking with an Indian accent. He told her that she was in violation of a statute, which he read. To prevent law-enforcement from arresting her the next day, he said, she must immediately pay $6,850.

“They knew where I was,” recalls Christine, who asked that her last name not be divulged. Federal officials confirmed her account.

Coincidentally, Christine was being audited by the IRS for medical deductions she had claimed in connection with cancer treatment. She chalked up the slight disparity between the sum demanded by the caller and what she actually owed the IRS to accumulated interest.

Still, she asked to speak to a supervisor. Yet the individuals “reeled her in,” she said, talking over her and threatening her. “I tried to appeal to their humanity, kept telling them I was a cancer victim,” she recalled.

Soon Christine was driving to a bank to collect money, which she was directed to load onto stored-value money cards available at a local grocery store. She then followed instructions to transfer the funds to the criminal network.

“When the veil lifted, I couldn’t freakin’ believe it; I tried calling back and the line was dead. I just got a fast beep,” she said. She contacted the U.S. Treasury.

Joseph, another victim, is a retired military serviceman whose ordeal began with a call on Election Day in 2014. His account of the scam is virtually identical to Christine’s, down to the cash cards. By the time it was over, Joseph had parted with $25,000.

“You just don’t think it is going to happen to you,” said Joseph, who is in his 60s, and didn’t want to be identified by his full name. “You feel so ashamed.”

The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration has received more than 1.8 million complaints from individuals reporting calls from swindlers impersonating IRS officials since it began tracking such scams in 2013. More than 9,600 victims have paid more than $50 million.

U.S. authorities said that so far they haven’t cooperated with Indian authorities.

Early this month, Indian authorities arrested 70 people who allegedly helped to manage nine call centers where hundreds of individuals impersonated U.S. officials to extort money from Americans.

In the latest scam, co-conspirators in the U.S. often laundered the proceeds by purchasing gift cards for big-box retailers and then selling them online at a discount. They directed some victims to wire them money through remittance companies like Western Union, the indictment said.

The perpetrators used hawalas, or informal money handlers, to receive the funds. At least one suspect used the proceeds to pay for a child’s university tuition in the U.S., authorities said.

Body Fat types and best reduction tips

our human body contains 5 different types of fat.Yes, believe it or not check detailed information below.

 In your belly, in your arms, and in your legs; and they all will respond differently to certain types of exercises and toning strategies.

1. Subcutaneous fats
2. Intrahepatic fat
3. Epicardial fat
4. Intramuscular fat
5. Brown fats

Subcutaneous fats.

These are what lies just beneath your skin and what people typically refer to as muffin tops, love handles, flabby necks, saggy arms, big bellies etc. Now you have to understand that fat is technically an endocrine organ that’s capable of releasing hormones and other chemicals that may affect your heath, physiology and longevity.

Intrahepatic fat.

These are the fats located inside your liver and is somehow seen as nasty fats. Among all types of fats, intrahepatic is the one most associated with obesity. If you want to burn this type of fat, you’ll need to drive your focus on doing not just high-intensity trainings but on dietary strategies as well.  You’ll want to lower your intake of fructose and sugars, alcohol and eat more of liver and egg yolks for their rich choline content. You’ll also need to re-evaluate where you’re getting your saturated fats. It’s best if you get them from organic grass-fed beef, coconut, and cocoa from chocolates.

Epicardial fat.

This is the visceral fat that is around your heart. It’s a layer of hard, yellow fat. Unfortunately, too many of these can result to inflammation in surrounding organs, diabetes and obesity. To decrease the amount of epicardial fats in the body, it seemed that both short sessions of intense cardiovascular activities/exercises and longer steady rate cardio workouts can do the trick just right.

Intramuscular fat.

This is the kind that is situated inside your muscles. You’ve probably glimpsed this fat if you’re paying enough attention to a fatty beef steak before actually consuming it. The good thing is, the intramuscular fats can provide for a readily available supply of energy for your muscles once you’ve actually managed to turn yourself into a lean and mean, “fat-burning” machine.  From a body training standpoint the best way to achieve this is to get engrossed in a low-intensity aerobic activity or exercise that can at least provide you with a max heart rate of 75%, preferably in a fasted state of ketosis or during a limited carb intake.  Know that the fat burning zone happens at around 45-65% of an individual’s max heart rate. For a typical calculation, take the number 220 and subtract the person’s age to get the maximum heart rate, and then take 45-65% of that number to arrive at the maximum fat-burning zone.

Brown fats.

This is the kind of fats that gets metabolized easily to generate heat once your body gets exposed to cold temperatures. Babies are known to have lots of brown fats when they are born which helps them a lot in thermoregulation. Studies have shown that since brown fats are important, one can train their bodies to convert their “white fat” reserves into brown ones.  Some people even utilize the cold to help them lose weight.

Lastly, understand that people from different lineage may have different patterns of body fat distribution. For example, there are men who will have more fats on their trunk than their limbs, while some women may have more fats on the lower parts of their bodies than on their trunks.

How to Lose Body Fat?

When it comes to losing fat - often it does not go according to plan. Despite many claims of spot reduction (i.e. "lose belly fat first") - it rarely happens this way.

From a health perspective, visceral fat is the most dangerous. The good news is that a weight loss program will lead to loss of visecral fat.

Basic Areas

• Women - generally around the buttocks and thighs (gluteofemoral): "pear-shaped".
• Men - generally around the abdomen: "apple-shaped".

Note that these are the predominant patterns - but both 'apple' and 'pear' shaped distribution can be found in either gender.

Specific Areas

Knee	Fat often builds up on the inside region of the knees in women.
Upper Arm	Also common in women, fat build up can occur in the middle to upper area of the upper arm - typically covering the triceps area.
Abdomen	Fat buildup around the navel area is common in both men and women. It is also one of the few fat deposits that are also found in slim women.
Inner Thigh	Fat storage between the thighs is common in women - but also occurs with men. It is more noticeable in women due to the width of the pelvis that in turn influences the position of the thigh (femur).
Outer Thigh	Sometimes called "Riding Breeches" - this area is the most likely place for the pitted or 'quilted' appearance of cellulite. This fat concentration also blends with fat tissue on the inner thigh and the buttocks.
Buttocks	Without fat here - sitting would be quite uncomfortable. Fat is held in place by the gluteal fold. If significant fat is lost from the buttock, then only appropriate training can prevent the buttock from sagging down against the thigh.
Lower Back	This fat concentration often merges with the buttock area.
Chest	Breast tissue comprises the mammary gland (one's 'endowment') surrounded by fat. Men also have atrophied glands and fat in this area. Both sexes gain fat in this area. In men this can sometimes be mistaken for the condition of gynecomastia - a condition that includes not only fat build up, but growth in gland tissue.
