THE MYTH OF REFRESHING THE DESKTOP

“Do you refresh your desktop?”. Ask this to any Windows user and 99% of them will reply with a “yes”. Of course, there are various needs for refreshing the desktop but the majority of people who does it doesn’t even know why he is doing it. Refreshing the desktop is perhaps the biggest computer myth among all Windows users.

Every single person I have met does this or at least used to do it. It’s not known who first discovered this remarkably useless trick and what he achieved from it, but it just spread. Most new users learn this trick from other new users without caring to know what it does. Some do it devotedly just because others do it, while some others have various weird explanations for it. A few of them assumes that it refreshes the RAM, while some others believe that doing it will somehow keep their PCs running smooth and easy. I have seen some users obsessed with refreshing the desktop, doing it every 30 seconds or so. They have even learnt the keyboard shortcut – F5 (just to mention, these are the people who never use keyboard shortcuts). They would press the key and wouldn’t release it for a long time, sending the desktop into a frenzy of refreshes.

What does a desktop refresh actually do? Refreshing the desktop simply redraws the icons on the desktop. That’s it! It doesn’t refreshes the RAM. It doesn’t clean your PC. It doesn’t refreshes your computer the way it does to you when you wake up from a nap. Refreshing the desktop has absolutely no effect on the working or performance of the computer. So why is the tool there? As I said, refresh is used to re-display or redraw the icons on the desktop. Sometimes when you bring some changes to the desktop icons, the change doesn’t get reflected instantly. In such cases, refreshing the desktop becomes necessary to bring the change to effect. Say, you have the desktop icons set to arrange themselves alphabetically on your desktop. When you add a new item to the desktop, this item wouldn’t get arranged alphabetically, instead it would appear at the bottom of icon list on the desktop, irrespective of it’s name. Now if you refresh the desktop, all the icons would be once more arranged alphabetically and the newly added item would go to it’s appropriate position. This is what refresh is for. It is to re-display the desktop. Refresh has the same function when done in explorer.

So, if you are in the habit of refreshing the desktop, stop it. You are just wasting your time and effort. And the next time you see a person doing it, don’t forget to explain to him the futility of this action.

A blood group or blood type is based on the presence or absence of two proteins (A, B) on the surface of red blood cells. Because two proteins are involved, there are four possible combinations or blood types (ABO groups):

· Type A – Only the A protein is present.

· Type B – Only the B protein is present.

· Type AB – Both proteins are present.

· Type O – Neither protein is present (about 40 percent of the population).

In addition to the A and B proteins, there is another protein involved called the Rh factor (Rh for Rhesus monkey, where it was first identified). The Rh factor is either present (+) or absent (-). Therefore, blood types are described as the type and Rh factor (such as O+ , A+, AB- ).

U.S. Blood-type Distribution

· O+
38 percent of population

· A+
34 percent of population

· B+
9 percent of population

· O-
7 percent of population

· A-
6 percent of population

· AB+
3 percent of population

· B-
2 percent of population

· AB-
1 percent of population

There are three forms of the gene (alleles) that control the ABO blood group, which are designated as iA, i B, and i. You have two alleles (one from your mother and one from your father), which are referred to as your genotype.

The inheritance of the alleles is co-dominant, meaning that if the allele is present, it gets expressed. The following genotypes will yield these blood types:

· iAiA or iAi – Both genotypes produce the A protein (type A).

· iBiB or iBi – Both genotypes produce the B protein (type B).

· iAiB – This genotype produces the A and B protein (type AB).

· ii – This genotype produces no protein (type O).

So, your blood type does not necessarily tell you exactly which alleles you have. For example, a person with blood type A could have either two iA alleles or one iA allele and one i allele. It is possible for two parents with the same blood type (A or B) to have a child with type O blood.

Both parents would have to have a mixed genotype, such as one i allele together with either one iA or one iB allele.

Blood types are determined by placing three drops of blood on a glass microscope slide. To one drop of blood, a drop of antibody solution to protein A (anti-A) is added. To the second drop, a drop of antibody solution to protein B is added.

To the third drop, a drop of antibody solution to Rh factor (anti-Rh) is added. The blood drops and antibody drops are mixed and examined for clumps of red blood cells, and the blood type is determined. Clumps mean that the particular protein (A, B, Rh) is present.

For example, clumps in anti-A and anti-Rh, but not anti-B, would indicate a person with type A+ blood.

Blood types are important for giving blood from one person to another (transfusion). The blood types must be matched. If not matched properly, the recipient will form clumps (clots) in response to the donor’s blood. The clots will lead to heart attacks, embolisms and strokes (transfusion reactions). Two blood types are special:

· Type O- is called the universal donor because it can be given to anybody; it has no protein to cause clumps.

· Type AB+ is the universal receiver because the recipient has all of the proteins and so will not form clumps.

Finally, the Rh factor is important for pregnant women. If an Rh+ man and an Rh- woman have a child, the child can be Rh+ or Rh-, depending upon the genotype of the father. If the baby is Rh+, this can cause problems.

While in the womb, some blood cells from the baby will cross the placenta into the mother’s blood stream. The mother will make antibodies to the Rh+ cells. If the woman becomes pregnant again and if the baby is Rh+, the mother’s anti-Rh antibodies will cross into the baby’s blood and destroy its red blood cells, which can kill the baby.

If diagnosed early, it is possible to save a baby under these circumstances by replacing the baby’s blood with transfusions that are free of the Rh antibodies. Also, if this situation is known, it is possible to treat a Rh- woman with anti-Rh antibodies (RhoGam) immediately after childbirth to inactivate the baby’s Rh+ cells and prevent the mother from forming anti-Rh antibodies (desensitize her).
