A centimetre ( American spelling centimeter, symbol cm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one hundredth of a metre, which is the current SI base unit of length. Centi is the SI prefix for a factor of 10-2. [1] Hence a centimetre can be written as 10&_160;×&_160;10-3&_160;m ( engineering notation) or 1E-2&_160;m ( scientific E notation) — meaning 10&_160;×&_160;101&_160;mm or 1&_160;m/100 respectively, centimetre-gram-second system of units. Though for many physical quantities, SI prefixes for factors of 103—like milli- and kilo-—are often preferred by technicians, the centimetre remains a practical unit of length for many everyday measurements. A centimetre is approximately the width of the fingernail of an adult person. 1 centimetre is equal to 1 cubic centimetre is equal to 1 millilitre, under the current SI system of units.

September 14, 2009
Most people, and especially good hairdressers and dieticians, know that poor nutrition can make your hair dull and lifeless, as well as affecting its growth. Thus it follows that a good diet can improve the quality of your hair.
An important point to remember is that the rate at which your hair can grow is finite and what is normal hair growth for one person can be different for another. However, on average, hair grows at a rate of about a centimetre a month. The trick to faster hair growth is to maximise your own hair growth

Fibre has been called the weight watcher's dream for weight loss and keeping it off. The process leads to a fibre weight loss of 15% and more.
Consumption of fiber and weight loss are very closely connected. Fiber is very important to solve the weight loss puzzle. It makes people feel less hungry on account of its bulk and reduces appetite resulting in weightloss. One important aspect of fiber and weight loss is drinking lots of water. It is important to drink lots of fluid along with the fibre, at least 16 ounces of water per serving. Food is a enjoyable part of life, it should r... (read more)

3. Top shoes for women
August 04, 2009
Office shoes There is a huge variety of shoes for office wear. A classic office shoe is a standard black shoe with varying heel heights. Shoes with heels of four to eight centimetre heels are favourite. If you need to be comfortable you’ll usually go for shoes with a lower heel height of under four centimeters, unless you feel comfortable wearing shoes with up to eight centimeter heels for more than eights hours a day. I have a few friends who are less than five foot in height and they all wear their office shoes with heels at least eight centimeters. They like the extra height the heels... (read more)

4. Microsatellite Seeks Greenhouse Gas
March 16, 2009
The Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) satellite was all set to launch. Its mission: find Earth’s missing carbon dioxide—our main greenhouse gas that vanishes each year. NASA's $285-million US satellite got off the ground OK last month. But OCO didn’t make it into orbit. Meanwhile, CanX, a microsatellite that does what OCO was supposed to do, chugs along happily in orbit. Canada’s University of Toronto launched the 30-centimetre-long satellite last April, and it made orbit too, at about 1/1000th of OCO’s price tag, including launch costs. (Math whizzes, do your thing.) The tiny CanX’s... (read more)

5. Pay to list
April 25, 2008
Advertisers are quite happy to pay huge prices per column centimetre to be in a magazine; to feature in the “wall paper” section at the back of a travel magazine. There was one leading player in the industry some years ago, there are now many, often more than one publication in the same stable or publishing house. No doubt using their best efforts to persuade you that their publication will bring you more bookings or will fill your empty beds. As a Guest House Owner, perhaps a Game Lodge; a Bed and Breakfast or the owner of a privately owned holiday house who would like a little rental wh... (read more)

9. Hair Loss Remedy - Easy and Effective Herbal Treatments
March 12, 2007
A healthy body has healthy beautiful hair. Our hair is a reflection of our health. At any given time, about 90 percent of the hair on the scalp is in its growing phase. This growing phase lasts for 2 to 6 years. Each hair grows approximately 1 centimetre per month during this phase. The rest, 10 % are in their resting phase. After 2 to 3 months, the resting hair falls out and new hair starts to grow in its place. It is normal to shed some hair each day as part of this cycle. However, some people may experience excessive hair loss, if more hairs enter the resting phase.

10. Fireflies and Phospherence
August 07, 2006
Around midnight. Almost silent, apart from the semi-sibilant rustling of the leaves. And dark, profoundly, pitch-black, cannot see a finger one centimetre in front of own your nose, dark.
Waiting. But for what? Then, a slight whisper filters back from the front of the line. Look down! And with the total removal of light for the last few moments meaning that our eyes are as accustomed as they will ever be to the darkness, we can just about make it out. A faint luminescent glow from the leaves carpeting the forest floor.
Which our guide tells us, when the torches are eventually s... (read more)
