I know this blog is about IT, but this is a big issue for asians. Its an QA on melamine. It was taken from http://www.who.int/csr/media/faq/QAmelamine/en/index.html.
What is melamine?
Melamine is an organic base chemical most commonly found in the form of white crystals rich in nitrogen
What is melamine generally used for?Melamine is widely used in plastics, adhesives, countertops, dishware, whiteboards.
Why was melamine added into milk and powdered infant formulaIn China, where adulteration has occurred, water has been added to raw milk to increase its volume. As a result of this dilution the milk has a lower protein concentration. Companies using the milk for further production (e.g. of powdered infant formula) normally check the protein level through a test measuring nitrogen content. The addition of melamine increases the nitrogen content of the milk and therefore its apparent protein content.
Addition of melamine into food is not approved by the FAO/WHO Codex Alimentarius (food standard commission), or by any national authorities.
Has melamine been found in other food products?In 2007, melamine was found in wheat gluten and rice protein concentrate exported from China and used in the manufacture of pet food in the United States. This caused the death of a large number of dogs and cats due to kidney failure.
In the present event, melamine contamination has been found in a number of different brands of powdered infant formula, in one brand of a frozen yogurt dessert and in one brand of canned coffee drink. All these products were most probably manufactured using ingredients made from melamine-contaminated milk.
What are the health effects of melamine consumptions in humans?While there are no direct human studies on the effect of melamine data from animal studies can be used to predict adverse health effects. Melamine alone causes bladder stones in animal tests. When combined with cyanuric acid, which may also be present in melamine powder, melamine can form crystals that can give rise to kidney stones.
These small crystals can also block the small tubes in the kidney potentially stopping the production of urine, causing kidney failure and, in some cases, death. Melamine has also been shown to have carcinogenic effects in animals in certain circumstances, but there is insufficient evidence to make a judgment on carcinogenic risk in humans.
What are the symptoms and signs of melamine poisoning?Irritability, blood in urine, little or no urine, signs of kidney infection, high blood pressure
What is the treatment for kidney stones and kidney failure?Patients may receive various types of treatment, depending on the severity of the kidney effects. Treatment may include infusion of fluids and urine alkalinisation, correction of electrolyte and acid-base disturbance, haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, or surgical removal of kidney stones.
Creating GUI apps on OS is easier right now. You can combine PHP programing language with GTK to develop and deploy GUI applications using GNOPE.
Gnope is a program management environment, allowing you to download and deploy applications with a graphical user interface written in PHP-GTK2 on many platforms. This software is open source and free hence can be downloaded for free.
PHP-GTK is an extension for the PHP programming language that implements language bindings for GTK+. It provides an object-oriented interface to GTK+ classes and functions and greatly simplifies writing client-side cross-platform GUI applications.
The complete Gnope package for Windows comes with:
* PHP5.1
* gtk2 (win32) module
* Gnope AppRunner
* Gnope PEAR Installer
You can download it from http://gnope.org/. All of that was packed with a nice installer. So what you have to do is just to install it, then u can used it right away…. This application is really great and made me in loved with PHP 
Some new and interesting softwares from Portableapps.com:
It’s an easy thing, i just want to write it on this blog as a log so that i can remember it if i need it someday.
After writing shell script file, you have to set execute permission for your file as follows:
chmod permission your-script-name
$ chmod +x your-script-name

While to execute the file, you have to do:
$ bash your-script-name
$ sh your-script-name
$ ./your-script-name

You may use this command to downgrade firefox from version 3 to version 2,
$ sudo apt-get remove firefox-3.0 && sudo apt-get install firefox-2
The already installed plugins won’t work for firefox 2. So you have to rename your firefox settings folder to other name by executing:
$ mv .mozilla mozilla.downgrade
I have just read this, it’s a programming ratings table for 2008. At least this will helps the programming stakeholder to choose which programming language should he use while building a project.
From the table, it can be concluded that open source programming language is more preferable than closed source and commercial programming language.
It proves that programming language for the futures is the free and open source programming languages.

Here’s a snapshot on how to install it in just few lines:
And then you should copy the dict to /usr/share/stardict/dic. You can download the dict from here. Copy it then extract it using tar -xvf method….
PS: Stardict also available in WIndows, you may find it from it’s official site…
