My iphone6 accidentally fell into the clean toilet commode and fell with most of the phone in water with home button area fully inside. This happened at about 2pm and I immediately used dry tissues to clean it up. At first everything seemed ok. I tried to unlock my phone and Touch ID wouldn’t work.
So I kept cleaning my phone as there was water drops coming from sockets. By then I read up internet about immersing the phone in uncooked rice. So came home and at about 6:00 pm I kept my phone in rice. I let my phone battery drain by itself. It’s at 2% now.
Took the hair dryer and started showing near the charging socket area beneath the home button. By now I already removed the phone from rice. The phone heated up. So stopped the dryer and let the phone cool down. Meanwhile, I removed the already added finger prints and tried to add new. First success was that for about a second the phone tried reading my thumb impression and then stopped working. I tried many times and it won’t work. By now phone was about to die so I put the phone on charge to see if all well with battery. Thankfully it was. So I let the phone charge fully.
Used the dryer again few times and allowed the phone to cool down. Them tried setting up Touch ID and tadaaaa it started recognising by thumb prints.
I added finger prints and the phone started working normally. With a great sense of achievement I slept and woke up next morning to check if it’s working still and it worked!!!
So, try the hair dryer technique to revive the Touch ID. Good luck!!!

Kern rightly said that Bird watching is a bloodless expression of man’s primitive hunting instincts. Similarly you have hobbies like hunting, fishing, etc which you could pursue. Now having said that these hobbies do require products like rifle scopes, telescopes, Binoculars, lasers, tripods, microscopes, monoculars and spotting scopes.

Therapeutic boarding schools
There are so many issues that a teenager go through like going into depression, emotional and spiritual help needs, drug addiction, suicidal thoughts, low motivation, alcohol consumption and addiction, unmanaged anger, attention deficit disorder and many more in the list.

Michael Jackson converts to Islam
Michael Jackson has converted to Islam and changed his name to Mikaeel.
The 50-year-old star, pledged his allegiance to the Koran in a ceremony at a friend's mansion in Los Angeles, the Sun reported. Jackson sat on the floor wearing a tiny hat after an Imam was summoned to officiate -- days before the singer is due to appear at London's High Court where he is being sued by an Arab Sheik, the paper said.
I am quite puzzled to hear such a news. Why should anyone change their religion? I hope that the 4.7 million pound law suit did not get him to change to Islaam.

Open the windows after you enter your car
In brief, the above article says: According to research done by a U.C., the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener will emit Benzene, a cancer causing toxin (carcinogen). In addition to causing cancer, it poisons your bones, causes anemia, and reduces white blood cells. Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer. May also cause miscarriage.
Acceptable Benezene level indoors is 50 mg per sq. ft. A car parked indoors with the windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benezene. If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benezene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level. The people inside the car will inevitably inhale an excess amount of the toxin.
It is recommended that you open the windows and door to give time for the interior to air out before you enter. Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver, and is difficult for your body to expel.

Who owns the media in India?
WHEN EVER U READ ANY REPORTS OF ANTI CATHOLIC NEWS OR REPORTS OF HINDU ACTIVISM BY ALL THESE PAPERS KEEP IN MIND THE OWNERSHIP OF ALL THESE PAPERS AND U WILL BE ABLE TO MARK THE REPORTS WITH A PINCH OF SALT
A VERY INTERESTING ARTICLE ... A MUST READ
Who owns the media in India ?
There are several major publishing groups in India, the most prominent
among them being the Times of India Group, the Indian Express Group, the
Hindustan Times Group, The Hindu group, the Anandabazar Patrika Group, the
Eenadu Group, the Malayalam Manorama Group, the Mathrubhumi group, the
Sahara group, the Bhaskar group, and the Dainik Jagran group.
Let us see the ownership of different media agencies.
NDTV: A very popular TV news media is funded by Gospels of Charity in Spain
supports Communism. Recently it has developed a soft corner towards
Pakistan because Pakistan President has allowed only this channel to be
aired in Pakistan. Indian CEO Prannoy Roy is co-brother of Prakash Karat,
General Secretary of Communist party of India.His wife and Brinda Karat are
sisters.
India Today which used to be the only national weekly who supported BJP is
now bought by NDTV!! Since then the tone has changed drastically and turned
into Hindu bashing.
CNN-IBN: This is 100 percent funded by Southern Baptist Church with its
branches in all over the world with HQ in US. The Church annually allocates
$800 million for promotion of its channel. Its Indian head is Rajdeep
Sardesai and his wife Sagarika Ghosh.
Times group list:
Times Of India, Mid-Day, Nav-Bharth Times, Stardust , Femina, Vijaya Times,
Vijaya Karnataka, Times now (24- hour news channel) and many more. Times
Group is owned by Bennet & Coleman. 'World Christian Council' does 80
percent of the Funding, and an Englishman and an Italian equally share
balance 20 percent. The Italian Robertio Mindo is a close relative of Sonia
Gandhi.
Star TV: It is run by an Australian, who is supported by St. Peters
Pontificial Church Melbourne.
Hindustan Times: Owned by Birla Group, but hands have changed since Shobana
Bhartiya took over. Presently it is working in Collobration with Times
Group.
The Hindu:
English daily, started over 125 years has been recently taken over by
Joshua Society, Berne, Switzerland. N.Ram's wife is a Swiss national.
Indian Express: Divided into two groups.
The Indian Express and new Indian Express (southern edition)
ACTS Christian Ministries have major stake in the Indian Express and later
is still with the Indian counterpart.
Eeenadu: Still to date controlled by an Indian named Ramoji Rao. Ramoji Rao
is connected with film industry and owns a huge studio in Andhra Pradesh .
Andhra Jyothi: The Muslim party of Hyderabad known as MIM along with a
Congress Minister has purchased this Telgu daily very recently.
The Statesman: It is controlled by Communist Party of India. Kairal TV: It
is controlled by Communist party of India (Marxist)
Mathrubhoomi: Leaders of Muslim League and Communist leaders have major
investment.
Asian Age and Deccan Chronicle: Is owned by a Saudi Arabian Company with
its chief Editor M.J. Akbar.
The ownership explains the control of media in India by foreigners. The
result is obvious.

Jet fuel in India costlier than in Singapore, Hong Kong
Airlines in India pay the most for fuel when compared with other Asia Pacific hubs like Singapore, Hong Kong and Colombo, mainly on account of higher tax rates.
Aviation Turbine Fuel or jet fuel in Delhi, the city that houses the nation's second busiest airport, costs $1,291 per kilolitre while the same in Singapore is sold at $1,067 per kl. It costs $1,100 per kl in Hong Kong and $1,113 in Colombo.
For airlines, refueling cost in Delhi is 21.73 per cent higher than that in Singapore, according to a report by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas.
Similarly, airlines in India pay 14.82 per cent and 13.87 per cent more than what those in Colombo and Hong Kong pay respectively.

Abhinav Bindra wins 10m air rifle gold
India's first ever gold medal in Olympics after 1980 was won by Abhinav Bindra in the men's 10 metres air rifle event.
Bindra was fourth after qualifying but had a brilliant final round and even hit a near perfect 10.8 on his last visit to pull in front of Henri Hakkinen of Finland, who dropped to bronze with a poor final shot of 9.7.
It is a proud moment for India and three cheers to Abhinav.

Why 1 is called One & 2 is two
Have you ever thought why........? 1 means "one", and 2 means "two"?
The roman numerals are easy to understand but what was behind the Phoenician numbers? It's all about angles!
It's the number of angles.
If one writes the numbers down (see below) on a piece of paper in their older forms, one quickly sees why.
I have marked the angles with "o"s.
No 1 has one angle. No 2 has two angles. No 3 has three angles. Etc. and "O" has no angles
Interesting, isn't it?

ICICI Bank, HDFC raise interest rates 75 bps
The country’s largest private bank ICICI Bank and the largest home mortgage company HDFC today announced a 75 basis point increase in lending rates, which will raise borrowing costs sharply for home, personal and corporate loans.
Two days after the Reserve Bank of India announced a 50-basis point increase in the repo rate, or the rate at which it lends to banks, and a 25 basis point increase in the cash reserve ratio, the proportion of deposits banks must set aside, the only good news came in the form of a 75 to 100 basis point rise in fixed deposit rates by ICICI Bank.
