LAND MINES KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE
A man has been killed and another wounded after dozens
of land mines washed up on the shores of South Korea, apparently swept down
from North Korea by torrential rain. The men found two wooden boxes containing
land mines floating on a river near the North Korea border while they were
fishing, a military official said. It is not clear if the pair knew the boxes
contained the explosive devices but they picked up them up to take home. As
they carried them away, one of the land mines exploded. A 48-year-old man was
instantly killed and a 25-year-old man was seriously injured. The explosion was
reported shortly before midnight on Saturday in a restricted border area in
Yeoncheon, 35 miles northeast of Seoul. South Korea's defence ministry said
dozens of boxes containing around 35 land mines have been retrieved along
streams connected to the Imjin River since Saturday. It is unclear how the
mines ended up drifting into the South but rising rapids triggered by recent
heavy rain in the North could have been the cause, military officials said. It
was unlikely North Korea intentionally released the land mines, the officials
added. Tensions between the two countries remain high after the South accused
the North of torpedoing one of its warships on March 26. The two countries
technically remain at war because their three-year conflict ended in a
ceasefire in 1953 without the signing of a peace treaty.

"The toe was gone," said Mr Douthett.
"He ate it. I mean, he must have eaten it, because we couldn't find it anywhere else in the house. I look down, there's blood all over, and my toe is gone." Doctors later discovered that the infection had reached the bone and were forced to amputate what was left of the toe. Before the surgery, Mr Douthett asked a nurse, "Is there any chance I can get whatever's left of my toe, so I can give it to Kiko as a treat?" "He's a hero. He pretty much just ate the infection. He saved my life," Mr Douthett told Wood TV, adding he has since sworn off alcohol. Kiko is still with the family but under observation by authorities.

USA ON 06.07.1945 AT 12.00 GMT DROPPED TWO NUCLEAR BOMBS ON HIROSHIMA + NAKASAKI KILLING PEOPLE
During the final stages of World War II in 1945, the United States conducted two atomic bombings against the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. After six months of intense strategic fire-bombing of 67 Japanese cities the Japanese government ignored an ultimatum given by the Potsdam Declaration. By executive order of President Harry S. Truman the U.S. dropped the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" on the city of Hiroshima on Monday, August 6, 1945, followed by the detonation of "Fat Man" over Nagasaki on August 9. These two events are the only active deployments of nuclear weapons in war The target was chosen as Hiroshima was a city of considerable military importance, containing Japan's Second Army Headquarters, as well as being a communications center and storage depot. Within the first two to four months of the bombings, the acute effects killed 90,000–166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000–80,000 in Nagasaki, with roughly half of the deaths in each city occurring on the first day. The Hiroshima prefectural health department estimates that, of the people who died on the day of the explosion, 60% died from flash or flame burns, 30% from falling debris and 10% from other causes. During the following months, large numbers died from the effect of burns, radiation sickness, and other injuries, compounded by illness. In a more plausible estimate of the total immediate and short term cause of death, 15–20% died from radiation sickness, 20–30% from flash burns, and 50–60% from other injuries, compounded by illness. In both cities, most of the dead were civilians.
Six days after the detonation over Nagasaki, on August 15, Japan announced its surrender to the Allied Powers, signing the Instrument of Surrender on September 2, officially ending the Pacific War and therefore World War II. Germany had signed its Instrument of Surrender on May 7, ending the war in Europe. The bombings led, in part, to post-war Japan adopting Three Non-Nuclear Principles, forbidding the nation from nuclear armament. The role of the bombings in Japan's surrender and the U.S.'s ethical justification for them, as well as their strategically importance, is still debated.

He noted that Hernandez’ mood is the best he has had in 12 years of imprisonment, while stressing that the antiterrorist fighter will not give an inch to the US demands.
Fidel stated that, on the other hand, the US has mobilized various war forces to initiate an aggression. He said when the critical moment comes, president Barack Obama would be the one to give the order of the announced and expected attack, with which he would be ordering the instant death not only of hundreds of millions of people, including a countless numbers of people from his own country, but also of the US troops and fleet around Iran. Fidel added that another consequence of Obama’s decision was that the war could expand to the Near and Far East and all of Africa. He again repeated his call for the leaders of the most powerful countries, allies or not, to beg Obama not to authorize that aggression. Fidel said the current world order will eventually disappeared, and that the convertible currencies imposed by imperialism will lose their value as instruments of domination, while new forms of the distribution of goods, services, education and direction of social process will emerge. Otherwise, if the war breaks out, the current social order will abruptly vanish and the price will be much higher, Fidel warned. However, the world population could be renewed, non-renewable resources could be preserved, climate change could be avoided, useful work for all humans could be guaranteed, the sick could be treated; the essential knowledge, culture, science at the service of humanity could be secured; children, teenagers and youths across the world would not die in that nuclear holocaust, highlighted Fidel, before giving the floor to the deputies.

The human race must colonise space within the next two centuries or it will become extinct, Stephen Hawking has warned. The renowned astrophysicist said he fears mankind is in great danger and its future "must be in space" if it is to survive. In an interview with website Big Think he said threats to the existence of the human race, such as the 1963 Cuban missile crisis, are likely to increase in the future and plans to handle them must be put in place now. "We shall need great care and judgment to negotiate them all successfully," he told Big Think. "But I'm an optimist. If we can avoid disaster for the next two centuries, our species should be safe, as we spread into space." Professor Hawking also warned that population rise and finite resources on Earth meant life was becoming increasingly dangerous and the only way to build upon the progress made over the last century was to look out to the rest of the galaxy. He added: "That is why I'm in favour of manned, or should I say 'personed', space flight." Earlier this year, Professor Hawking warned that exploring space may not be entirely without risk. In a series for the Discovery Channel, he said humans should be wary about making contact with alien life forms as they may not be friendly.

Portion sizes have grown considerably in recent years – in fact, one study in the US found that some foods had grown to up to five times their original size since the 1970s! Mammoth servings in restaurants, the rise of all-you-can-eat buffets, super-size fast food meals, family packs of crisps in the supermarket and jumbo lattes in coffee chains have all contributed to this phenomenon. To add to the problem, due to lifestyle changes, many people now eat away from home, giving them less control over the amount of food on their plates – research has shown that people are more likely to overeat when given large portions because it’s harder to gauge what is a ‘normal’ or acceptable amount. Larger portions can lead to an increase in calorie intake that, over time, can cause weight gain. This in turn can cause health problems such as diabetes and heart disease. So it’s a good move to keep an eye on portion sizes when you can. That isn’t to say you should be eating so little that you end up going hungry – rather more about listening to your body and putting down your fork when you’re full!
• The meat or other protein-based part of your meal should be around the size of a deck of cards.
• The starchy part of your meal, for example: the rice, potatoes, bread or grains should be around the size of one tennis ball or your balled fist.
• If possible, fruits and vegetables should fill around half of your plate.
• Fats and oils should be kept to a minimum, for example: less than one tablespoon.
Ways to keep portion sizes sensible:
• Don’t super-size – fast foods aren’t recommended as part of a healthy diet, but if you do find yourself tempted to tuck into a burger, order the regular- or small-sized meal. Large or extra-large meals can be value for money, but they are extremely high in fat and calories, and can contain bad fats; the trans fatty acids.
• It’s not just foods that are available in out sized portions: fizzy drinks, milkshakes and sweet, milky coffees are too. These can be high in calories, so again, stick to regular or small sizes.
• Try to avoid over sized foods such as giant cookies.
• When eating out, don’t feel guilty about leaving food on your plate. Most people have grown up with the notion that they have to clear their plates at every meal. If leaving foods seems wasteful to you, ask for a child’s portion or a half-portion – most restaurants are happy to oblige.
• If you find yourself in an all-you-can-eat venue, reach for a small plate, and fill up only once.
• When cooking at home, dish-up half the portion you would normally have; if you still feel hungry after dinner, eat the rest. You may surprise yourself though and find that you are already full, in which case you save the rest for lunch the next day. This halves the price of your meal too, saving pennies!
• When preparing packaged foods, check labels for ‘number of servings’ in the pack – you may be surprised to find that one pack contains more than one serving. Following suggested serving sizes can help keep portion size down.
• Try not to eat out of big bags of snacks such as crisps, nuts or sweets – this will only tempt you to keep picking; dish out a serving in a small bowl instead.
• Don’t worry too much about portions when eating nutritious foods such as fruit, veg, pulses and whole grains – rather, concentrate on cutting down on portions of fatty, sugary foods – these contain the most calories and the least nutrients. For example, one extra-large portion of fries can contain more than 600 calories – around the same amount as 11 carrots plus 11 tablespoons of hummus! The latter would not only provide more nutrients (such as fiber and vitamin A) but also more bulk – it’s doubtful that anyone could eat one portion of fries – however large – and feel as full as they would after eating 11 carrots.

Oil leak made so much damage to the environment, as well as small businesses. PANAMA CITY, Florida — US President Barack Obama and his daughter have taken a dip in the Gulf of Mexico in an attempt to reassure Americans that, despite a massive oil spill, its waters remain safe for tourists. The president, First Lady Michelle Obama, and their younger daughter, Sasha, traveled to this Florida panhandle city to talk to local officials and business leaders, and highlight the region's tourist attractions. "Oil is no longer flowing into the Gulf," said Obama, speaking at a regional US Coast Guard headquarters. "But I'm here to tell you that our job is not finished, and we are not going anywhere until it is." Obama said that he wanted to deliver the message directly to residents of the Gulf Coast, which he has visited four times since an April explosion on a BP-l eased oil rig triggered the disaster. "I made a commitment in my visits here that I was going to stand with you... until you have fully recovered from the damage that has been done. And that is a commitment my administration is going to keep," he said. And Obama also demanded that BP speed up processing of compensation claims, saying that "any delays -- by BP or by those managing the new fund -- are unacceptable." Earlier this week BP made its first deposit into the 20-billion-dollar Gulf of Mexico oil disaster fund intended to compensate thousands of residents and businesses hit by the largest maritime oil spill of all time. During the height of the spill Obama urged his fellow Americans to continue taking vacations in the region, famous for its sugar-white beaches, and heavily dependent on tourism. Obama later went for a swim with Sasha at Panama City Beach, away from the public and press cameras, with only an official photo of the pair -- heads bobbing just above the water line -- issued by the White House. While the image might go far to reassure Americans that Gulf waters are safe, Obama had stressed he would take a presidential plunge in private. The last time Obama, who is physically fit, was photographed swimming without a shirt was in December 2008, shortly before he took office. The pictures were broadly circulated and used on the cover of news magazines. When a reporter covering the Obamas' Florida vacation joked that this publicity was a good thing, Michelle Obama shook her head and said, "No, it's not." The president and his family are scheduled to return to Washington on Sunday. The trip comes after US officials announced that energy giant BP's runaway well had been sealed, and that they were moving ahead with plans to make sure it is truly "killed" by pumping cement in through a relief well under the Gulf of Mexico. Pressure tests showed that the well no longer has "direct communication with the reservoir" thanks to a "top kill" operation which pumped drilling mud and cement down through the wellhead, US spill chief Thad Allen said. Allen on Saturday issued a directive for BP to run a new series of tests and provide plans to ensure the safety of the "bottom kill" operation, before he gives the green light for a relief well to resume drilling. The relief well, which is approximately 100 feet (30 meters) short of intersecting the well bore, was delayed several days because of a storm. Once it resumes, the bottom kill operation is expected to take four days. The huge spill threatened the fish and wildlife-rich Gulf Coast with environmental ruin and plunged residents of coastal communities into months of anguish over their livelihoods and the region's future. The week after his Florida sojourn, Obama is scheduled for a multi-stop trip around the United States, starting in Wisconsin, where he is to visit factories specializing in renewable energy production and fund-raise for Democrats. Monday evening will see him in Los Angeles for another fundraising event, before he heads to the north western state of Washington on Tuesday for a meeting on health care reform in Seattle, the White House said. Later this month the First Family is scheduled to vacation in Martha's Vineyard, an elite Massachusetts resort island, in the US northeast.

Fasting has been found to be an effective treatment for psychological and emotional disorders. It helps a person to firm up his will, cultivate and refine his taste and manners, strengthen his conviction of doing good, avoid controversy, petulance and rashness, which all contribute towards a safe and healthy personality. Besides nurturing resistance and ability to face hardships and endurance, fasting reflects on outward physical appearance by cutting out gluttony and getting rid of excess fat. The benefits of fasting on health do not stop there but are instrumental in alleviating a number of physical diseases, including those of the digestive systems, such as chronic stomach-ache, inflammation of the colon, liver diseases, indigestion, and conditions such as obesity, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, asthma, diphtheria and many other maladies. A Swiss physician Dr. Barsilus noted that: The advantages of hunger as a remedy exceed those ingesting medicine several times. Generally speaking, fasting hastens the destruction of the decaying tissues of the body by means of hunger, and then builds new tissues through nutrition. This is why some scientists suggest that fasting should be regarded as an effective means of restoring youthfulness and longevity. However, exempts from fasting sick and old people whose health is bound to deter.

A biodegradable implant which releases a drug slowly into the eye could help thousands of people suffering sight loss, it has been announced. Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) affects more than 200,000 people in the UK and can lead to a sudden loss of vision. It is caused by blockages in the retinal veins, which drain away blood from the retinal cells at the back of the eye. The blood builds up and creates swelling, which damages the cells of the retina and therefore sight. People can experience sudden sight loss, blurred vision, straight lines appearing wavy, or the appearance of a black spot in their central vision. Now, a new implant called Ozurdex has been approved for use in the UK as the only treatment for RVO. The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) said the implant was an "exciting new development" although it has yet to be appraised by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice) for widespread use on the NHS. The implant, which is injected directly into the back of the eye near the retina, has been shown to improve or help to prevent the worsening of sight loss. In the first two months, a high dose of the anti-inflammatory medicine dexamethasone is released, which reduces swelling. A lower dose of dexamethasone is then released slowly over the next four months, which stops the swelling in the retina from getting worse.

PERFECT FOOD FROM AMAZON
Here is what Acai Optimum claimed on their website...
- 4 Times More Weight Loss Than Diet And Exercise
- Boosts Energy
- Rich in Antioxidants
- Promotes Cardiovascular and Digestive Health
Were pretty sceptical, but wanted to find out for ourselves if this product could actually do everything that it claimed. Most of the success stories talk about combining Acai berry with colon cleansing products to achieve maximum weight loss. I decided to do the same. The idea behind combining the products is that while the Acai Berry encourages weight loss and increases energy, the colon cleanse helps rid your body of toxins and allows your body to work and burn calories more efficiently. I chose Advanced Colon to test.
Here is what Advanced Colon claimed on their website...
- Helps Eliminate Bad Toxins that have Built Up Over the Years
- Removes ‘Sludge‘ from the Walls of the Colon
- Helps Get Rid of Gas and Bloating
- Helps to Regulate the Metabolism
And the Advanced Colon, like the Acai Berry, had a trial with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and had no hidden offers.
Putting Acai to the Test
Both the Acai Optimum and Advanced Colon arrived within 4 days of having placed my order online for the free* trials.
The bottles I received held a month‘s worth of pills which worked out perfect as I was to follow the supplement routine for 4 weeks time and document my progress throughout.

Judge Asks Doctors to Damage Criminal's Spine
A Saudi judge has asked several
hospitals if they are willing to damage a man's spinal cord as punishment for a
cleaver attack that left a 22-year-old paralysed.
The victim, Abdul-Aziz al Mutairi, became paralysed
and subsequently lost a foot after a fight more than two years ago. An unnamed
man was sentenced to 14 months in prison for the assault, but released after
serving only half that time. The shortened jail time has reportedly enraged Mr
Mutairi's family. His 27-year-old brother Khaled said they want an equivalent
punishment for the attacker and have appealed to a judge in north western Tabuk
province. "We are asking for our legal right under Islamic law," the
brother said. "There is no better word than God's word - an eye for an
eye." The judge has since asked several hospitals if medical paralysis was
possible and would they perform the operation. Local newspapers reported a
facility in the capital Riyadh had declined, saying it could not inflict such
harm. Saudi Arabia enforces strict Islamic law and occasionally hands out
punishments based on the ancient legal code. Amnesty International has
expressed concerns over the reports and said it was contacting Saudi
authorities for details. "We are very concerned and we will appeal to the
authorities not to carry out such a punishment," said Lamri Chirouf, the
group's researcher on Saudi Arabia. He added this was the first time Amnesty
had heard of a punishment involving the damaging of a spinal cord. "It's
hard to follow details of the Saudi justice system. People are sentenced in
closed trials with no access to the public and no lawyers."

A moment on the lips, a year on the hips appears to be all too true A moment on the lips really can mean a year on the hips, scientists say. A short period of binge eating can have long term effects on body weight and fat storage even after the initial weight gained is lost, a study has found. Volunteers who increased their calorie intake by 70 per cent and stopped exercising for four weeks were found to be heavier that expected more than two years later, despite losing the initial weight gained. In the study, eighteen volunteers gained an average of 14 lb through overeating and lack of exercise, compared with another group who ate and exercised as normal. Most of the people who increased their weight had shed the pounds six months later. However, after a year the binge eating group showed an increased fat mass of 3.3 lb compared with the healthy eating group. After two and a half years the difference was even greater. The researchers say the findings suggest that even a short period of excessive eating and lack of exercise can lead to changes to a person's physiology, making it harder for them to lose and keep off weight. Asa Ernersson at Linkoping University in Sweden, who led the research, said: "The change of fat mass was larger than expected when compared to the controls. "It suggests that even short-term behavioural changes may have prolonged effects on health." The findings are published in the journal Nutrition and Metabolism.

Scientists have identified eight key cancer symptoms which should be investigated further by GPs.
Researchers say the eight symptoms predict the risk of cancer in specific age groups with such accuracy that doctors should refer patients for further investigation unless the symptoms can be explained by another medical condition.
The eight symptoms of which may predict cancer are:
- rectal bleeding (bowel cancer)
- blood in urine (urological cancers)
- coughing up blood (lung cancer)
- breast lump or mass (breast cancer)
- difficulty swallowing (oesophageal cancer)
- post menopausal bleeding (gynaecological cancers)
- unusual prostate/rectal examination (prostate cancer)
- iron deficiency anaemia (colon cancer)
However, each one can also be a symptom of another medical condition, which is why they need to be investigated. Scientists from Keele University analysed data from 25 studies from the UK, US, Netherlands, Belgium, Australia, Denmark and Germany to look for common signs of cancer. They say the symptoms and early tests could help GPs diagnose some cancers much earlier. Although the overall risk of cancer to someone with one of the symptoms is low, the researchers say the risk varies depending on age and gender and should always be checked. Commenting on the study, Dr Kevin Barraclough, a GP from Stroud, writes: "Iron deficiency anaemia in a 21-year old female is extremely unlikely to be due to colorectal cancer, whereas in a 60-year old male, cancer is likely." Professor Amanda Howe, honorary secretary of the Royal College of GPs, said: “It’s useful to see these well known ‘red flag’ symptoms and signs validated in primary care research, and reinforces the importance of encouraging patients to discuss worrying symptoms early with their GP. "Access and thorough examinations will help early diagnosis while further research gives us more detailed epidemiological thresholds for referral.”

Health advice you should ignore
We only use 10 per cent of our brains
Although you might think your batty uncle might be the perfect example, in fact scans show that all of the brain is active and playing a part in our thinking. Even small amounts of damage to the brain will cause mental impairment.
Sweets and other sugary treats make children hyperactive
Repeated studies have shown that children's behavior is not affected by the amount of sugar they've eaten - although parents rate their children as being more hyperactive if they think they have given them a sugary drink, even if it is, in fact, just water!
Breast feeding causes saggy breasts
Good news mothers - this is false. A study by American plastic surgeons found that breastfeeding had no effect on the shape of women's breasts. However being overweight or a smoker were linked to soggier breast appearance, as were the number of pregnancies, size of breast before pregnancy and the age of the woman.
We should drink 8 glasses of water a day to avoid dehydration
There is no scientific evidence to support this widely believed and often followed myth. Tea, coffee, fruit juice - even the food we eat - all provide us with fluid. In fact excessive intake of fluid can damage the body and can even be fatal.
Spinach is high in iron
There must have been something else in Popeye's diet, because spinach is not all that rich in iron. Apparently, when it was first measured the decimal point was written in the wrong place, overstating the iron content of spinach by a factor of 10. Spinach contains about 1mg of iron per 100g, whereas dried figs have 4.25mg, roast beef 2.5mg and curettes 2.4mg.
Warm milk helps you get to sleep at night
Milk contains the enzyme tryptophan which has been linked to the initial stages of sleep - but the amount in a glass of milk probably isn't enough to make us drowsy. But the psychological effect of warm milk at bedtime may be strong enough to put us in the mood for sleep!
Sick people should rest in bed
An analysis of 39 studies on the use of bed rest in treatment found that for many ailments staying in bed had no beneficial effect. In some cases it was actually harmful. Sorry, but going back to work is sometimes the best treatment!
You should wear a hat because we lose most of our body heat through our heads
Our heads don't give off any more heat than any other part of our body. If you are fully clothed then of course most of the heat will leave through your head because it is uncovered, but the same would be true for any other similarly sized body part.
Too much stress can give you ulcers
Actually, over 90 per cent of ulcers are caused by a bacterium, Helicobacter pylori.
If you are stung by a jellyfish you should pee on the sting
Before you start approaching people on the beach asking them to do the deed, you should know this is not true. There is nothing in urine that can counteract the effects of a jellyfish sting - in fact some stings will be further activated by it. But washing out the sting with warm water may alleviate the pain and prevent further skin damage, so this may be the source of the myth.

Britons Held After Drug Arrests
As many as 24 Britons are being held by police after a major operation against drug traffickers in Ibiza. Officers from Spain's paramilitary police force targeted organised British gangs who were operating from houses in the holiday resort of San Antonio, on the Spanish island's west coast. They seized cocaine, ecstasy pills and other drugs. A spokesman for the Spanish Civil Guard said:"This operation is still going on and we cannot give any details at this stage. He added: "A pile of Britons have been detained." In response to the arrests a Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are aware of a number of arrests in Ibiza involving British nationals. "We are offering consular assistance." Millions of tourists flood into Ibiza every year attracted by the island's reputation as one of the best clubbing destinations in the world. The British gangs are believed to travel to the island for the summer selling designer drugs to young revellers. In similar raids in Ibiza last September Spanish police arrested 25 Britons in gangs from Manchester and Liverpool.
