One of the biggest concerns these days — with people spending most of their time indoors — is that the air indoors is almost as polluted as it is outside. And not only is the outside air responsible for polluted air indoors, there are several household activities that also add to air pollution at home. The biggest pollutant adding to indoor pollution is formaldehyde, which is emitted by numerous products like antiseptics, cleaning agents, press fabrics, cigarettes, cosmetics, wood products, and paints and varnishes....

3D Technology: From Beginning Until The Glasses-Free Period The History of 3D Technology You think 3D is a recent discovery? It’s actually not. People started talking and analyzing 3D technology even in the 19th century, when Sir Charles Wheatstone described the process of stereopsis: ”the mind perceives an object of three-dimensions by means of the two dissimilar pictures projected by it on the two retinae”.

Simply hum (or whistle) the melody of any part of the song, and Google will display the most relevant results. Yes, some apps (like SoundHound) can do this, but they can’t match Google’s accuracy. However, there’s no need to install third-party software for Android phones, and using this feature is easy....
