The first ever Apple computer that company founder Steve Jobs sold from his parents’ garage is up for sale – for a whopping £150,000. There were about 200 examples of the original ‘Apple-1′ that were launched in 1976 and only a few survive today. They were the forerunners of the iPod, iPad, iPhone and everything else that Apple has produced over the years.

Where it all began: The Apple-1 went on sale in July 1976 at a price of $666.66. About 200 units were produced in total. The one above has been customised with an after-market wooden enclosure with carved name, and keyboard

They came with a tiny 8K memory – 524,000 times less than is standard with today’s Apple computers. It would not have the capacity to store one song. This example will be the first ever to be sold by a major auction house when it goes under the hammer at Christie’s of London. It proves the growing interest in early computer technology and highlights how quickly home computing has advanced in the last 30 years.

Up for auction: The lot, above, which is on sale for £150,000 by Christie’s, comprises components from the Apple-1 machine, original manual and a letter from Steve Jobs. They were the first fully pre-assembled computer to be produced, but did not come with a monitor or keyboard.

Boglione, the president of a holding company that owns European clothing line trademarks, is said to have the Apple I restored to working condition before adding it to his collection of Apple computers. The computer was auctioned in its original box, containing the motherboard, various components such as a microprocessor and extra RAM, and a sales letter signed by Steve Jobs. Steve Wozniak was present at the auction and also added an autographed letter to the lot.

Incredibly it comes with the original packaging, instruction manuals and a signed letter by billionaire Jobs, who is still head of the company. The Apple-1s were the first fully pre-assembled computer to be produced, but even so did not come with a monitor or keyboard. Museums and a new breed of collector are desperate to get their hands on these early examples. Early geeks would have had to part with $666.66 (£410) to buy one of the first Apples. Its designer, Steve Wozniak, liked repeating digits -
and it was sold to a local shop for $500 plus a one-third mark-up.

But few realised what a good investment it would be. Julian Wilson, from Christie’s, said: ‘Before the Apple-1 you would have to put together your own motherboard and would need soldering skills. ‘This is the forerunner of the iPod, iPad and iPhone. It worked straight out of the box, which was the original concept. ‘Apple’s lineage can be traced back to this model and as far as we know there were about 200 made and perhaps a quarter survive. ‘Not only does this come with the packaging and manuals but also a letter from Steve Jobs. ‘He appears to be answering questions from the customer about what monitors and keyboards are best to use.

‘The computer technically allowed you to programme and it was like a high-performance calculator. ‘This one comes with an extra cassette interface, which meant you had a read-write capability. ‘At the time it famously cost $666.66, and the cassette interface was an extra $75. ‘Steve Jobs sold these from his parents’ garage and there is a growing appreciation of the history of computing – and this is where home computers started. ‘And finding one in this condition is unheard of.’ The sale at Christie’s in London is on November 23.

The Apple I was officially discontinued in October 1977.  Only about 50 Apple I computers still survive, and while rare, the remaining models are usually sold for much less,  in the $15,000-$50,000 range, which might make this the most expensive Apple I ever. Boglione’s extraordinarily high price has probably more to do with the original documents – the return label has Jobs’ parents’ address, as Apple Computer, Inc. was set up in their garage – than the actual computer. Which kind of makes sense, too, since the Apple I has one-thousandth of the computing power of the iPad.

Steve Jobs was the visionary and innovator behind the idea for the first complete personal computer, but it was Steve Wozniak, the former HP computer engineer, who actually designed and engineered the first Apple I computer.   For his part, Steve Wozniak is often overlooked and receives little fame, most of it going to Steve Jobs.

Here’s a link to John Calande’s blog with some great pictures of the Apple I personal computer.

Mike’s testimony, in lack of love..

” My wife is 55 years old. We are married since about thirty years and we have 3 children. Since a few months, she does not want more than me gets her and tells not to want it any more. I am saddened with this situation. How to react? “

Why the desire falls it?

What you describe is good a lack of desire, certainly, but not only. Your wife does not have preliminary desire? But the problem is that she does not answer any more yours.

A woman who does not want to make love can very well “activate” her desire if her partner seeks her. At the women, the sexual envy is often born in echo in the envy for the other one. She corresponds to the pleasure to feel wished.

Your wife has no impulsive desire,  nor no desire of answer. More still, she is not capable of envisaging a sexual relation without preliminary appetite.

Most of the women can nevertheless begin to make love, by simple pleasure to get closer to the other one, to be pleasant to him, and “appetite comes with eating..(”the more you have, the more you want”) … Your situation thus looks like a sexual blocking and this total impossibility to make love has necessarily one or several causes.

How to make the desire be reborn ?

It is maybe about a disorder bound to the menopause. Given the age of your wife, she is certainly in full menopause, moment of the life where sex hormones can pull disorders of the humor and the desire.  I advise you to speak to her about it, if only to make her understand that you are present by her side, ready to help her. Encourage her to consult a gynecologist to evoke the problem and find solutions if the cause is physiological.

In about fifty, certain women try suddenly the feeling furthermore to be desirable. It is then very important to show her and to say to her that you love her and that you wish it, that you find her beautiful.

A sexual blocking can, naturally, be the sign of relational difficulties in a couple. Does she feel a resentment to you? Did you hurt her? Ask her openly the question. And ask her about what it is exactly. When a woman wants it with its spouse, her desire freezes immediately, sometimes for a long time. You have something make you maybe forgive, even without knowing it! Something who could seem to you perfectly harmless, even if for her it is important.

Also think of explaining to her how much the sexuality is a factor of harmony and love between you.  Make her understand that you are afraid of going away one of the other one if you do not have spread
sexual life anymore.

Pricey pup: A Red Tibetan Mastiff called Big Splash has become the world’s most expensive dog.

His owner will need a big house too, as adult Tibetan Mastiffs have been known to weigh as much as 286lb, or more than 20 stone – the same as a sizeable rugby player. However the typical weight for a fully grown Tibetan Mastiff is around 13 stone. But according to breeder Lu Liang, Big Splash is a ‘perfect specimen’ and the extravagant price for the 11-month-old is completely justified. He said: ‘We have spent a lot of money raising this dog, and we have the salaries of plenty of staff to pay’ – adding that the new owner could charge almost £10,000 a time for Big Splash to breed with a female. The high price paid for the dog is a sign that the red Tibetan mastiff has become a status symbol in China, replacing jewellery and cars as a way for the super-rich to show off their wealth. Not only is red considered a lucky colour, but Tibetan mastiffs are thought to be holy animals, blessing their owners’ health and security. Tibetans believe the dogs have the souls of monks and nuns who were not good enough to be reincarnated as humans or into Shambhala, the heavenly realm.

Owners of the breed have included Queen Victoria, King George IV and  Genghis Khan – who supposedly took 30,000 of the dogs with his army in his bid to conquer Western Europe.

Ancient breed: The dog is a descendant of animals kept by nomadic Chinese tribes.

These days there are only around 300 Tibetan mastiffs in the UK, and puppies sell for a more reasonable £850 to £1,000. James Pally, a Tibetan mastiff breeder from Pantymwyn near Mold in Flintshire, North Wales, said: ‘They are very smart and they think for themselves and can sense danger very acutely. ‘Tibetan mastiffs were originally used to guard the livestock and they are very good with other animals and they love children. ‘I have six of them and if you don’t give them enough attention they sit in front of the TV.’ The title of most expensive dog in the world was previously held by a Tibetan mastiff called Red Lion, who was valued at £915,000 last year.

Nouveau riche: Red Tibetan Mastiffs have become a status symbol for newly wealthy Chinese, with the country’s economic boom evident in the changing Beijing skyline

‘I’m very happy’: Supatra Sasuphan, 11, is one of only 50 people ever to have Ambras syndrome which makes  hair grow all over her face. She has now been recognised by the Guinness Book of Records.

‘I’m very happy to be in the Guinness World Records! A lot of people have to do a lot to get in,’ she said. ‘All I did was answer a few questions and then they gave it to me.’ Supatra is one of just 50 known sufferers of Ambras Syndrome – caused by a faulty chromosome – to be documented since the Middle Ages. Before the disease was understood, sufferers were branded ‘werewolves.’ She has thick hair growing over her face, ears, arms, legs and back. Even laser treatment has failed to stop the hair growth.But while most sufferers have been shunned, Supatra has gradually been embraced by her community, and became a popular and outgoing child.

‘One of the most popular girls in school’: Supatra with classmates at Ratchabophit school, where she says getting the record for world’s hairiest girl has helped her win more friends.

They don’t tease me anymore: doctors tried to remove Supatra’s hair with laser treatment but it quickly grew back.

She said: ‘There were a few people who used to tease me and call me monkey face but they don’t do it any more. ‘I’m very used to this condition. I can’t feel the hair as it has always been like this. I don’t feel anything. ‘It does sometimes make it difficult to see when it gets long.I hope I will be cured one day.’ In other ways Supatra is the same as other children her age – she loves swimming, dancing to her favourite music and playing with friends. But more than anything, Supatra loves perching in front of the TV at her tiny one-bedroom family home in Pranakom, on the outskirts of Bangkok, to watch cartoons.

Happily families: Suptara with her sister 15-year-old Sukanya, left, her father Sammrueng and mother Somphon.

Still attracting stares: strangers look at Supatra on the streets of Bangkok, but her neighbours say her sweet nature quickly won over her local community.

She said: ‘I like to watch anything on TV, whatever is, I like having it on. I like to watch Bugs Bunny.’ The bubbly little girl is also determined not to let her condition prevent her from leading a normal life. She said: ‘I like to study maths so I can be good at it and teach it to younger children so they can do it too. ‘I want to become a doctor so I can help patients when they get injured. ‘I want to help people who get hurt and help cure people.’ But Supatra’s future didn’t always look so promising. When she was first born she had to undergo two operations just to breathe. Her father Sammrueng, 38, said: ‘We found out Supatra’s condition when she was born – we did not know before. ‘She was not very healthy because her nostrils were only one millimetre wide. For the first three months she was kept in an incubator to help her breathe.She was in the hospital for a total of ten months. We were very worried about her.’

Time for a trim: Supatra’s hair grew longer as she got older and her mother now cuts it with scissors, above.

Outgoing child: Supatra  during a PE lesson with classmates.

Supatra has another operation when she was two-years-old and can now breathe normally. But when Sammrueng and his wife Somphon, 38, brought Supatra home to live with them and their other daughter Sukanya, now 15, they faced more problems. ‘When neighbours first saw Nat they asked what kind of sin I had done. I was very worried about what she would be when she grew up because of other children teasing her,’ he said. But Supatra’s sweet nature quickly won over people in her community. Sammrueng, a jewellery maker, said: ‘She gets along with others really well and is very generous. She has a lot of friends. ‘She is just the same as any other little girl her age. ‘But her teeth grow slowly and she can’t see very well.” Doctors tried to remove the hair with laser treatment when she was two-years-old but despite numerous sessions it kept growing back as thickly as before. Supatra’s hair has got increasingly thicker as she has grown up so her mother has to cut it back regularly for her. She uses baby shampoo to wash her hair as she is allergic to stronger brands. Sammrueng said: ‘I still hope one day she will be cured. We will do anything we can if it will help her.’

1. Cancer: no soft drink for the pancreas.

Researchers of the University of Minnesota discovered a link between the consumption of soft drinks and the cancer of the pancreas. Having followed the health of 60 000 Indonesians, they realized that the persons who developed a cancer of the pancreas were also regular consumers of soft drinks. The researchers think that the strong rate of sugar of these drinks increases the rate of insulin made by the pancreas, what increases then the risk of development of cancer cells. The cancer of the pancreas is a part of the rarest cancers but it is one of the most mortal with a rate of survival in 5 years which is only 5 %.

2. Cancer: some green tea for your lungs.

To drink some green tea could reduce the risks of contracting a lung cancer even if you smoke. It is that revealed a study presented during a conference of the American Association for Cancer Result.The polyphenols of the green tea are powerful antioxidants, and the preparations with tea have already shown their capacity to prevent the formation of tumors.

For this study, the researchers examined the habits of 170 patients affected by lung cancer and by 340 healthy patients. The results showed that, every confused patients, those who do not consume green tea have five times more risk of contracting a lung cancer with regard to those who consume at least a cup a day. Among the smokers, the risk is twelve times as raised .

3. Cancer: no carrots for the smokers.

A study carried out in Israel showed that the more we consume of caroténoïdes, the less the risks of cancer of the colon are raised. However, at the regular smokers, we observe an opposite effect: the caroténoïdes of fruits and vegetables would favor the appearance of cancers of the colon. So, the smokers should be informed that the beneficial potential effects of an important consumption of fruits and vegetables are hindered by a regular consumption of tobacco.

In this study, it was turned out that it exists an inverse relation enters the consumption of caroténoïdes and the risks of colorectal cancer. However, the reduced addiction to smoking significantly even knocks down this effect on the base protector of the ingestion of caroténoïdes on the risks of colorectal cancer.

4. Cancer: do not skimp on the turmeric.

The turmeric and the pepper are studied for a long time as potential treatments against the cancer, but a new study lets hear for the first time that these spices could prevent the cancer by aiming specifically at stem cells.

The researchers of the center of cancer research of the university from Michigan to the United States discovered that when the curcumine, a chemical element being in the turmeric, and the pipérine, which results from the black pepper, are added to a cell culture, the number of stem cells is reduced whereas the normal cells  are saved. The researchers consider that the elimination of the cancerous stem cells and the reduction of the number of normal cells are essential in the fight against the cancer. The pipérine strengthens the effects of the curcumine, and both elements stop the process of renewal of the cancerous stem cells.

5. Cancer: avoid the salt of the butchery.

Certain butchery would favor the appearance of the cancer of the colon: it is the conclusion of a study presented in July by researchers of the National Institute of Agronomic Research (INRA) for Toulouse. By being interested in the link between consumption of  pork-butchery and cancers of the colon, the researchers discovered that 4 gathered factors  that are: the coloring of the butchery, the addition of nitrites, the cooking and the oxidation, could provoke a significant increase of the precancerous hurts at the level of the colon. Cancer: THE INRA reminds that 100 new persons are affected by a cancer of the colon every day.

3rd – The confidence is something important for a woman. So, they are 29,7 % to have already ended a relation because she did not rely any more on their man, or because he had lied.

2nd – 36,6 % of the women broke because their companion was unfaithful. A result which does not arrange the reputation of the men…

1st – It can seem commonplace, but the lake of love arrives at the top of this poll  39,7 % of the questioned women explained to have already broken for this motive.

To note that among the given answers arrives in good position the fact that the man wanted to cross in the superior stage in the relation but not the woman (12,7 %). The opposite is less common on the other hand (9,1 %). Finally sirs, do not be too sticky and do not look at too many porn movies, because some make a motive for break.

A longline bra imitation feminine breast

We owe this funny lingerie at once scamp and agitator to the Parisian fashion designer Nicole Tran Ba Vang who imagined her  flesh color and who imitates in the perfection the naked skin and the curves of the feminine body.
