Chinavasion has launched a HD Spy Camera Light Switch which helps you to monitor your home, private property or business that people are not supposed to be in. This Spy Camera looks and works just like an normal light switch but inside it, there is a high resolution spy camera with hidden pinhole lens. The Chinavasion HD Spy Camera can record video in 320 x 240 resolutions at 30fps or capture photos at resolution of up to 1280 x 960 pixels. It includes a GSM remote control which allows you to get alerts on your cell phone. The Spy Camera Light Switch comes with a microSD card (up to 32 GB), a USB port and a SIM card slot that helps it to send an SMS to your mobile phone when anyone enters and you need to keep an eye on him. The device is also able to shoot a SMS message with the photo of the person if you choose for. The Smartphone can also be used to turn the camera on or off. The spy cameras use a rechargeable battery.

Move over, Lyme disease: Another tick-borne illness is on the increase in various parts of the country, and this one can kill. Known as babesiosis, the disease is caused by a microscopic parasite that attacks blood cells, causing flu-like symptoms that can make it difficult to exactly diagnose. Like Lyme disease, which is caused by bacteria, babesia microti parasites are passed by deer ticks. First documented in Massachusetts in 1969, the once-obscure babesiosis has surfaced as a significant public health hazard in parts of the Northeast and Upper Midwest over the last several years. And many cases may be avoidance detection, experts say. I think it was underreported. �One of the reasons we are seeing more about it is because people are becoming more aware," said Dr. Peter Krause, a babesiosis researcher and senior research scientist at the Yale University School of Public Health. "The theory is that it's spreading from east to west, as if you were dropping a pebble in a ...

Puffy clouds of pink cotton candy. A sparkly dress with whirling peppermint pinwheels. A giant fake pot brownie that induced hallucinations. An Elvis impersonator, a pair of mimes, and seven costume changes within one song. Welcome to Katy Perry�s visualization of Candy Land come to life on her new California Dreams tour. It�s unremittingly fun � nothing more, nothing less � but it also suggests that the pop star�s live show has finally caught up with her ambitions. Perry�s sold-out concert at the TD Garden on Saturday was essentially a theater production, sometimes a circus, with Perry as the unsinkable gang leader. Frivolity suits her as snugly as one of her many hip-hugging dresses. Loosely based on a running video storyline about Perry being transported to a candy-coated wonderland, the show highlighted what she is capable of with the right staging and enough fans to pack an arena. They came for the sing-along (�Hot N Cold,�� �E.T.,�� �Teenage Dream��) but likely left with an appre...

In Libya, the focal point has been on the continued siege of the western town of Misrata. But there is also erratic fighting in the east between rebels and forces loyal to the government of leader Moammar Gadhafi. The front line there is outside the city of Ajdabiya. A busy city just a few weeks ago, Ajdabiya now has the feel of a ghost town. Chunks of concrete, twisted light poles and other debris garbage the streets. Much of that was dragged there to slow the traffic, of which there is very little these days. A few knots of fighters suspend out on street corners. They don't look up at the sound of a jet above your head � the NATO planes circling on their no-fly zone patrols. In recent weeks, the eastern front of the clash between rebel fighters and Gadhafi forces has moved back and forth between this city and the oil ports of Brega and Ras Lanuf to the west. Ajdabiya has calculated value because it's the point where two major highways intersect. From here, it's just 100 m...

President Obama will focus on four items in today's speech on reducing the federal debt, the White House says in a statement: Lower domestic expenses, less defense spending, excess spending in Medicare and Medicaid, and elimination of tax breaks that favor the wealthy. Medicare and taxes are likely to be the most controversial: Liberal groups such as MoveOn.org have warned Obama against making changes to Medicare; congressional Republicans have said that Obama's calls for tax improvement amount to a call for tax hikes. Obama will also "borrow" many of the recommendations made by his bipartisan fiscal commission, the White House said in a statement, but it did not detail which specific proposals the president will endorse. "The President will advocate a balanced move toward to controlling out of control deficits and restoring fiscal responsibility while protecting the investments we need to grow our economy, create jobs, and win the future," said the statemen...

It may be time to add a long workday to the list of danger factors for heart disease. A new study has found that office workers in England considerably increased their chances of having a heart attack by working more hours than their peers. The study, conducted by researchers at University College London, found that workers who regularly worked 11-hour days or longer were 67 percent more likely to develop heart disease than those who worked seven- or eight-hour days. One U.S. specialist said many factors could account for the rise in risk among those tied too long to the office. Those working long hours may have very less time for exercise, healthy eating and physician�s visits," said Dr. Gregg C. Fonarow, associate chief of cardiology at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine. "They may be exposed to more strain, get less sleep and engage in other behaviors which contribute to cardiovascular risk." About 70 percent of the workers were men, and most (91 percent) were...

Spring is in the air. As we embrace this new time of year, we also escort in the challenges of seasonal allergies. Each and every year, more than 35 million Americans suffer from seasonal allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever. Seasonal allergies are an effect to triggers released into the air during a certain time period, such as spring or fall. The Symptoms of seasonal allergies consist of sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, itchy nose, coughing and post-nasal drip. Some patients report having only one or two symptoms; in some cases, it might be complicated to tell the difference between allergies and a cold because symptoms are similar. Airborne pollen is the most frequent cause and the biggest trigger of seasonal allergies. Pollen grains released from grass plants and promising trees can travel through the air for miles. An affected by reaction is triggered when pollen is inhaled through the nose or lands in the eye or on the skin. Specifically oak, elm, birch, ash, hic...
