The God Particle By C.R. Manmadhan Digital image on canvas, 68x91 cm, 2012 Amid living matter and endless space, C.R. Manmadhan Juxtaposes Shiva and Parvati with a contrasting red spot that represents the enigmatic "god particle" of physics, after which this work is titled. Based in Kochi, Manmadhan, 65, took to art seriously after he retired in 2006 as News Editor of Mathrubhumi, the Malayalam daily. He says that his works, whether acrylics or digital, draw from all his resources, including his training as a journalist and his master's degree in zoology.

Be smart with your provident fund

Many younger employees complain that their take home salaries get reduced because of compulsory 12% cut that goes to their provident fund. Why brother, they'd think, retirement is 35 years away! But that's naïve thinking for several reasons and here's why. The power of compounding. With compound interest, your Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) money grows surprisingly fast and the annual interest earned will become higher than your contribution after a while. Moreover, with your employer contributing an equal amount, it grows faster than any bank account. The longer you are in the fund, the better, since the power of compounding is maximized. So try not to withdraw any EPF money before you retire. And transfer your EPF to a new employer if you change jobs. Add your own power. This is something people neglect and often don't know about. While 12% of your salary is compulsorily deducted, you may voluntarily add any amount you like from your salary. This will boost th...

Waterproof your device

Lots of cellphones die from drowning (raise your hand if you've dropped yours in a puddle, washing machine or the toilet). In the past, if you wanted to waterproof your phone, you had to buy a special plastic case or pray that the rice trick would revive it (see How to save a soggy phone, below). But solution may be at hand. Tech research company Liquipel (see liquipel.com ) has invented a new technique that covers devices, inside and out, in a razor thin, nearly invisible waterproof shell. When water hits the device, it beads up and rolls off, leaving the phone or tablet dry. In a test, popular Science editors sent an iPhone 3GS to Liquipel for waterproofing. When they got the phone back a few days later, they turned it on and ran it under a tap for five minutes. The phone operated normally while under the faucet. Afterwards, the touch screen was slow to respond at first, probably because of water droplets on the screen that hadn't yet rolled off, but after few seconds, the p...

Bringing a pet into your home

Dogs and cats live for between ten and twenty years. An animal is a source of joy but it also brings obligations: walks, grooming and healthcare, finding a pet-sitter when you're away. Is my family prepared to help? It's no good getting a pet simply because the children want one. Everyone will end up looking after it. Do I have time? A dog needs to be taken out 3 or 4 times a day. A cat despite its independent nature, likes having its master around. " Tip : Birds love fresh fruit. Make sure to change the fruit every day so that the leftovers, breeding grounds for bacteria, don't lie rotting on the bottom of the cage." Can I afford it? Food, grooming, healthcare and vet's fees add up to significant expenditure. Be sure you can afford it. Am I obsessively houseproud? Even with regular brushing, dogs and cats shed hair which has to be wiped or vacuumed regularly. Do I have sufficient space? A cat or a couple of parakeets just about fits into a studio flat, but fo...

Night grinder

For some people, chronic grinding of their teeth causes major problems. Some patients are completely unaware that they clench or grind their teeth until a check-up shows damage, says Dr Peter Alldritt of the Australian Dental Association. "Sharp teeth like canine teeth may have worn flat, crack lines may be appearing in the enamel, or fillings may be starting to crack and break." Teeth grinding medically known as bruxism can use facial pain, too. "People can wake up with a sore face or a bad headache because the muscle in the face have been activated all night while they have been clenching," he says. The ligament of the jaw joint just in front of the ear can also become very tender. If you grind during sleep, a dentist can fit you with a night guard, says Alldritt. "It's a barrier separating the upper and lower teeth so they can't come together and cause further damage." Beat the daily grind First you must realize what you're doing, says Alldr...

How germ expert stay healthy

They're less paranoid than average folk, but what they worry about (airplanes, laundry!) will surprise you. Here are the result of a survey of health experts in the US. 71% don't clean hands after touching public surfaces I'm just careful to wash my hands before eating. I didn't get a respiratory infection because I touched a door handle after a sick person touched it; I got it because I then touched my hand to my eye or nose. - Michael Pentella, PHD,    clinical associate professor,   University of lowa College of Public Health I press buttons with my knuckle especially the ground floor elevator button, because everyone touches that or I use my middle finger because I'm less likely to then touch my face with it. - Charles Gerba, PHD,   Professor of microbiology, University of Arizona 29% carry hand sanitizer I prefer soup and water. If that's not available, I'll use sanitizer but I'm not religious about carrying it. - Rima Khabbaz, MD,   director for in...

Soothe your achy, breaky back

Back pain prompts millions of visits to the doctor ever year. A study suggests one way to improve on your doctor's result: listen to music. Researchers from the University of Salzburg in Austria followed 65 patients with slipped discs or recent back surgery. All were given physiotherapy; half also spent 25 minutes a day listening to music while followed guided imagery relaxation exercises. After three weeks, the music listeners had pain levels much lower than the other group. The researchers did not distinguish between the effects of music and of relaxation, but a previous study found the pain relieving effect of a music only group slightly greater than that of a guided imagery only group. Music is thought to lower levels of chemicals that relay pain, says psychologist Franz Wendtner. Study subjects used a special CD. But, Wendtner says, "any relaxing music with quiet rhythm will do." Are you sitting comfortably? The slightly odd looking backstretcher chair is worth a try...
