Britons first in the world grew artificial liver

British scientists first in the world grew under laboratory conditions from stem cells the artificial liver.

The technology, which was used with the creation of "minipecheni", by a size into the odnopensovuyu coin, will be developed further in order to create the normally functioning liver of standard size.

According to the scientists, this great reaching will once ensure physicians with all human organs, which can be used for the transplantation.

Researchers from the university of Newcastle created cloth from the blood, undertaken from the umbilical cords of babies.

Mini- organ can be used for checking the new medicines. Similar studies are capable of avoiding such negative consequences, which occurred recently with checking of one of the medicines. Furthermore, the use of the artificially grown liver will make it possible to substantially reduce the tests, conducted for animals.

For five years the small fragments of artificial cloth can be used for restoring the liver, which suffered as a result of injuries, injuries, diseases, destruction under the action of alcohol or as a result of the overdose of paracetamol.

According to the forecasts of experts, the first transplantation of the artificially grown liver can occur already into the next 15 years.

"one hundred million children yearly be born in entire peace, and this one hundred million different it is specific cloths; specifically, these children will provide with cloth me, you and any other person, who does not have its own cloth in the bank of cells ", note Colin makgukin, professor of regenerative medicine from the university of Newcastle.

Elephants possess the ability of self-identification

Scientists established that the elephants learn themselves in the mirror. Thus, they entered into the club of the realizing themselves animals, members of which are the highest primates and dolphins.

According to the psychologist from the university Of emori to Atlanta, the complex social life of the elephants, noted for their altruistic behavior and with the large size of the brain, made these animals logical candidates for checking of realization.

Mirror was placed in the cages of elephants in the zoo Of bronks in New York, in which be situated three inhabitants. The first question was, do greet they reflection, as if they meet another animal. However, elephants did not be mistaken, and was used mirror in order to examine its own reflection. For example, they moved aside trunk to the side in order to look around the internal cavity of mouth.

In contrast to the previous studies, this is the first experiment with the use of an enormous mirror, which allowed elephants to concern its surface, to rub and to be turned to it by back.

The attempt to look to itself from the back is one additional indicator of self-consciousness. One of the elephants passed the test, when it touched the mark on the tail end of the head after it looked into the mirror.

Ecstasy - panacea from Parkinson's disease

The colleague of the university of Cincinnati the jack Of lipton conducted the experiment, in course of which it was explained that ecstasy increases the viability of nerve cells under the unfavorable conditions, and it also contributes to an increase in the production of dopamine in the brain. Such properties of narcotic can be used with the treatment of a number of diseases, including Parkinson's disease.

Some scientists already conducted the studies by ecstasy, in course of which they came to the conclusion that its use is connected with sharp reduction in the production in the brain of serotonin, hormone of pleasure. However, the experiment Of liptona did not confirm this.

He studied the influence of narcotic on the development of the brain of the young of rats, that obtained it during the pregnancy. In the brain of the newly born young rats of a decrease in the level of serotonin it was fixed not; however, it was discovered, that the number of cells, which manufacture another neuromediator, dopamine, increased in the experimental three.

Action by ecstasy on the culture of embryonic nerve cells grown in the test tube increased their viability three, moreover this effect did not change with an increase in the concentration of narcotic, with exception of the very high doses, which led to the loss of cells.

In the opinion Of liptona, ecstasy it prevents the starting of the mechanism of the programmed cellular loss, which usually is activated with the neyrodegenerativnykh diseases. It proposes also that the preparations prepared on its basis can contribute to the restoration of the number of cells, which manufacture dopamine, with Parkinson's disease.

It is considered that the loss of motor coordination and the involuntary reductions of muscles with parkinsonism are connected with a deficiency in dopamine in the engine centers of brain.

Treatment by virgins

Myth about the "treatment by virgins" - in other words, the faith in the fact that the sex with the chaste girl can cure AIDS, is dug in as hurricane into the western rich and moved peace, it writes La stampa.

"barbarous" beliefs - the traditional practice not only of aborigines. It is characteristic of the cultural horizon of our rich and civilized peace and it is very close to us in the time: even at the end OF THE XIX century and in Italy, and in Victorian England was disseminated steadfast "people prejudice", if we use ourselves the language of doctors and contemporary observers, what rape of virgin or is still better - unripe girl it is possible to lead to the recovery from syphillis and the gonorrhea. Speech does not go on the irregular, single cases. There are numerous facts, described in notes and works of the doctors of that time. One of them, for example, in the medical recommendations, published in 1887, with the indignation writes that, first of all in the villages, people "solidly believe: as soon as you will reveal that it infected itself by French disease, it is necessary to complete rough report with the virgin or the girl ".

The sense of this belief consisted in the fact that the flesh of victim fulfills the function of the "sponge, capable of absorbing into itself everything". For those believed in this the defloration of girl was the same how for us are the therapeutic methods of treatment. Ignorance generated idea, that the recovery from the disease will be hundred per-cent with the aid of this means and that "the sick organism will sanitate once and for all".

And not only. On different court trials in the matters about the rape and attempt at the rape those accused in the attack on the girls were frequently justified by the fact that this for the purpose of recovery from gonorrhea or syphillis made. The Viennese folklorist Of friderik Krauss composed the collection of people erotic traditions, which consisted of several monographs, dedicated to the individual countries, including Italy ("sexual life in the beliefs, the customs and the people Italian traditions"). To Raphael korso, Italian ethnographer, who collaborated with Krauss, reported that "idea about the fact that gonorrhea and syphillis they can cure with the aid of the defloration of virgin or friction of sick penis against vaginu of virgin, it is connected with the tradition of magic nature, at basis of which belief, that the dirtiness disappears with the contact with the clean and uncontaminated flesh".

In actuality this belief became the result of the powerful stratification of information and ideas about the disease, pererabotannykh by the complex of the connection of people and scientific medicine. The concept of the "migration" of disease has old origin, it was reflected already in the medical treatises OF THE XVI century, in other words, on first - terrible - stage of the epidemic of syphillis, carried from the news-writer, probably, by the crews of Christopher Columbus. To the highest degree infectious, which was extended among the amateurs of merry life it is municipal the epoch of revival, this illness led to the appearance of an enormous quantity of publications and hygienic orders, in which was contained the innumerable number of councils how to avoid the "shafts of Venus" or as to cure. The faith in the possibility of recovery through the sexual report with the virgin was connected with the belief, which assigned therapeutic properties to contact in with warm vnutrennostyami of the recently killed animal: rabbit, pigeon, deer - the treatment, accessible for the rich, it understands. Poor it was necessary to be satisfied by frogs.

The completely not refuted, this idea traversed never centuries and was preserved in THE XIX and even in THE XX century: when the epidemic of syphillis broke out after World War II and withdrawal of forces from South Africa, large popularity enjoyed the method of "treatment by virgins". And here is step from syphillis toward AIDS: diseases change, but remain ineradicable the roots of concepts, beliefs and medical methods, after which it is actually difficult to examine the prospect for future mezhkul'turnogo public health.

Scientists developed contraceptive for men

American and Italian scientists developed the contraceptive means for the men, which stops the process of the formation of sperm.

Tests on the rats showed that new preparation they block connection with the cells, which feed spermatozoids.

Researchers say that they used relatively low doses of substance and found no obvious side effects. To now by scientist it is necessary verify preparation on the people in order to ascertain that it is effective and safe for the men.

In the seed channels, where sperm is formed, Sertoli's cells, which feed spermatozoids, are located. If connection with these cells is blocked, this can lead to the man sterility. The molecule, on basis of which is created new preparation, displaces the developing sperm from Sertoli's cells.

The method of protection without the application of hormones, which directly influences spermotogenez (process of the formation of spermatozoids), considers it very attractive, since it does not influence the work of man sexual gland.

The bulletproof school textbooks are invented

Bill To kroz'e, retired serviceman and candidate for the post of the chapter of the department of the formation of the state of Oklahoma, devised the very original method to decrease mortality in the American schools.

After a number of recent tragedies in the schools OF THE USA, when students opened fire according to the classmates and the teachers, mister kroz'e in earnest thought above this problem. And, as reports Internet- periodical MEMBRANA, found the solution. You do think, this better training of the growing up generation? Or an increase of the staff of guards in the schools?

Bill thought that here there is that to improve. And were conducted experiences on the firing of textbooks from the different it was specific weapon. It explained that the pistol bullets stop at 2/3 their way through the average pile of the books. But shots from the rifle and the automaton broke through entire pile right through.

"if in these textbooks were covers from sheet Kevlar, rifle bullet also could not overcome them", solved gallant serviceman.

Kroz'e did not calculate the cost of passage to such textbooks (but it, obviously, it was great), but he emphasizes that the books with the cover from Kevlar, although they will not become panacea, will give excess chance to the survival in the case of shooting in the class to schoolboys. Indeed frequently people attempt to be protected from the attack by all, which will fall under the hand.

Poker with James Bond in the company of the corpses

German artist Gunter von khagens, scandalously known by his compositions from the corpses, is again located under the fire of criticism - this time he is intended to use corpses in order to recreate scene from the new film about James Bond.

Von khagens must select the corpses, similar to Deniyela of Craig and other actors, who play into the poker during the scene in the "casino piano"

The protestant church of Germany arrived into the horror after artist showed that it will precisely become the aspect of his new project.

It is expected that daily more than 5.000 people will come into the the four-storied Plastinarium to the exhibition, which is opened in three weeks.

But Local Priest Michael domke Complains: "human bodies are converted into the commodities, prepared on the factory conveyor. This is terrible ".

How much are eggs at Uncle Sam's?

What do cost my eggs? And how much I must obtain for them? These such similar questions have different answers. First: what do cost my eggs? If you would know me personally, you would say that they cost nothing. But the egg cell of 20-year woman can give the priceless possibility to have a child to barren conjugal pair. Thus, to the human "eggs" simply it cannot be established price list.

In this case the women nevertheless obtain for them money. And this seems correct, because with the extraction of egg cell they undergo sufficiently unpleasant procedure with the potential side effects - no longer to say nothing of the fact that they transfer their genes to the child, whom they, possibly, never will see nor learn.

At the annual meeting of the American society of reproductive medicine, which took place in new Orleans on this week, commission for ethics declared, that the women, who became the donors of egg cell, must obtain not less than 5.000 dollars. Smaller sum - this simply scandalous is incorrect with respect to the woman. But here the sum, which exceeds 10.000 dollars can impel it to make this unjustifiably and use as a long-term source of income. A similar price can lead to the vulnerability of the women, whom they will simply constrain to similar procedures.

Committee on ethics interrogated the women, who endowed their egg cells in the past, and it established that none of them used the obtained money to the purchase of the objects of luxury.

Majorities used a sum of reward to the payment of school expenditures, repayment of loan for automobile or simply they placed their bank to the deposit. With this 90 % came out by donors one, maximum two times.

Samsung created 3d- display

The group of South Korean companies and scientific research institutions, headed by Samsung Electronics, developed flat HD- display, on which it is possible to examine volumetric images without the special glasses.

The special feature of the technology, proposed Samsung, consists in the fact that its creation is deprived of that deficiency, which encountered the remaining developers of volumetric screens.

The created technology makes it possible to work with the image both in the usual two-dimensional and in the three-dimensional regime without any special filters.

To 2009 South Korean electronic giant promises to let out its first commercial 3d- display, which moreover it will differ significantly from all shown at the present time analogous devices in terms of its universality.

As they declare in Samsung, the created prototype is capable rapidly and, that most important, without the loss of quality to be switched between regimes 2D and 3D A by possible this became because of the use of matrices, which are of the light-emitting diodes the size of less than 100 microns.

In Samsung has already been today located the working prototype of display by the diagonal of 17 inches, however, in further plans of company - production of 19- one inch model.

To the project, which started in 1999, it was at the present time spent 23 million dollars.

In this case the state plans to continue financing for the already two years. As a whole, the evaluated volume of the market for three-dimensional displays in 2010 can be 8,1 million pieces.

In Burma they found 100 million year old bee

Discovery coincided in the time with the promulgation of the genetic diagram of honeybee, which demonstrates the unexpected connections with the mammals and the man.

The prehistoric insect, captivated in the drop of wood juice, at least, to 35-45 million years is older than the most ancient of all known, until now, fossilizations of bees. It was found in the mine on the north of Burma and was called name Melittosphex burmensis.

Insect has the characteristic features not only of bee, but also osy, in particular, thin hind legs how it confirms the theory of bee evolution.

Experts consider that the bees being fed by pollen occurred from the predator- wasps, and that precisely the appearance of bees could lead to the stormy propagation of the efflorescent plants over the earth's surface. The conifers, which scatter their seeds downwind, ago in the plant peace reigned of up to 100 million years.

"this very trying of all bees, which we succeeded herself in identifying, and it has some signs of osy, says George Poynar, the professor of zoology from the American Oregon state university, which together with the associates reported discovery on the pages of periodical Science. - but nevertheless this is more bee, than wasp, and it allows for us with a sufficient portion of probability to speak about the time, when were radiated the evolutionary ways of these two types of insects ".

Fossilization is in splendid state; in insect separate hairsprings were preserved, not injured remained the fragments of small pile, abdomen and head. Are well visible also paws and wings, the BBC reports.

It is very small according to the size: the diameter of its abdomen hardly reaches 3 millimeters, and this proves theory about the fact that the first flowers were also very small.

"this fossilization can soak to us understand, when osy, which are been in essence carnivorous, began to be converted into the bees, that pollinate plants and fulfilling completely different biological functions", says professor poynar.

Today in the world are counted about 20 thousand varieties of bees, which feed its posterity with pollen.

Do you work at the computer? You are in the risk group

The discussion deals not with that situation, when you include computer, but it appears at the screen: "Disk C: not found "or" Boot sector is failure "... Your state at this moment psychologists call "sharp stress", and it can lead to the infarction.

But even with the normal "load", man after the computer subjects himself to danger to fall ill not to the joke because of the "position itself", into which he falls. In those, who much sit, between the seat of chair and the body is formed the thermal compress, which leads to hemostasis in the pelvic organs and gives beginning sadly to known disease - haemorrhoid.

In the normal state the haemorrhoidal knots, which there is in the organism of each human, no one interfere: the protuberances must be smoothed out with the defecation in order not to interfere with the passage of feces. Hemostasis in to basin and excessive straining they disrupt position it is main, they slip down downward and is created that, about which by words you will not describe - it is necessary to test. Then reconstruction and ischemia occurs, this leads to an increase in the sizes of haemorrhoidal it is main, to their buckling outside. Now not one ointment will help.

Haemorrhoid - one of the most extended diseases. 40% of turnings to doctors apropos of bowels are connected with the haemorrhoid. Proktologi consider that 70% of people sooner or later encounter with the haemorrhoidal symptoms. They risk everything! Each of us can earn haemorrhoid. But if you the whole day (or night) sit before the computer, probability to secure haemorrhoid is begun still above.

Proktologi advise each hour of continuous seat to make squattings, "squeezing" or any gymnastics.

But if THIS already happened, then the main thing - not to be occupied by self-treatment! Diagnosis "haemorrhoid" must be confirmed by specialist - proktologom: the more serious diseases of thick gut can be hidden under the mask of haemorrhoid.

Reject false shame and not boytes'! Clever people fear disease, but not doctor. Today there are procedures of the treatment of haemorrhoid without the operation, which are not caused be ill and those troubles, with which is usually connected surgical treatment.

In the international network of clinics SUN the treatment of haemorrhoid consists of several visits to the doctor with the interval approximately during 3-7 days. Each visit of doctor occupies in patient not more than half-hour, after which the patient can return to the work and even news the active means of life. Secret - in the use of force of laser beam and advanced technology of treatment, developed by the specialists of clinic. For the patients, undertaken the treatment, the complete elimination of haemorrhoid without the hospitalization and the surgical intervention is guaranteed.

Scientists understood, why we see world without interference

The association of scientists from THE USA, Japan, Italy and Australia, into which enters the group under John kollinson's management from university to Aberdeen, made the important discovery: was discovered the substance, which impedes the formation of vessels in the cornea of eye - the front transparent part of outer covering.

Paradox for the contemporary scientists consisted in the fact that was known about the presence in the cornea of the large quantity of substance, which stimulates formation of new blood vessels - factor of an increase in the endothelium of vessels Vegf- A. However, cornea remains transparent, giving to us the possibility without the interferences to see peace. On the data of researchers, the formation of vessels in the cornea prevents the protein by the name sVEGFR-1, which suppresses activity Vegf- A.

Scientists studied the genetic disease, with which is observed an increase in the vessels in the cornea. It turned out that this illness is connected with the damage of the gene, which codes protein VEGFR1. Disease easily was cured, when the preparations, which contain this protein, buried by patient.

Scientists hope that the discovery the protein, which suppresses an increase in the vessels, can lead to the creation of fundamentally new medicines for treating of cancer, heart diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, strokes and eye diseases.

British soldiers will be converted into zombi

The Defense Ministry of Great Britain examines the possibility of use in field conditions of the preparation, which makes it possible to manage without sleep in the course several days without reduction in the mental and physical abilities. On this at the conference of committee on science and technologies of British parliament it reported doctor Anna kezi, the representative of the company- contractor of the Defense Ministry of Great Britain Qinetiq.

The preparation of modafanil, produced under the trade mark Of provigil, is approved in a number of the countries as the means of the treatment of narcolepsy - the disorder of sleep, that is characterized by the insurmountable assaults of sleepiness. On the illegal market for the medicines of modafanil it is known also by the name "zombi". In THE USA "zombi" it is popular among the habitues of night clubs, and American students frequently misuse by it during the preparation for the examinations.

According to doctor kezi, the Defense Ministry of Great Britain isolated significant means to studies of those increasing endurance and military characteristics of the soldiers of preparations and food additives, moreover as one of the most promising preparations at present is examined modafanil.

"the search for the means, which make it possible to enlarge the possibilities of personnel of warheads, it is conducted constantly", it added Kezi, after noting that the limitations, accepted by the International Olympic Committee, do not apply to servicemen. Modafanil and number of similar to it preparations is included MOK in the list of forbidden for the participating in the competitions athletes stimulators.

The results of the carried out tests show that modafanil contributes to a considerable increase in the mental and physical possibilities of soldiers, it said Kezi. In also the time a number of other known stimulators, for example ephedrine, they were rejected by servicemen because of such side effects as the increased anxiety.

"we continue studies in this region, but this does not mean that these preparations has already been used. However, we examine this possibility ". - it said Anna kezi.

Representative Qinetiq she separately emphasized that collaborating with the Defense Ministry of company do not carry out experiments with the forbidden and narcotic substances.

In the conversation with journalist BBC doctor Kezi it refined also that in the course carried out Qinetiq tests of modafanil it were tested in combination with the caffeine. At present company directed into the Defense Ministry demand about the additional financing of these studies.

Analogous studies of modafanila were carried out by the previously military departments OF THE USA and France.

Before beginning war in Iraq in the British press appeared the information about the purchase by the Defense Ministry of the large party of modafanila, allegedly which was being intended for the soldiers, who will participate in the combat operations. The representatives of the ministry repeatedly denied these reports.

For a while back on the initiative of Defense Ministry in Great Britain was created the new consortium Haldane Spearman, basic task of which is the development of the means of an increase in the endurance, and also the accelerated adaptation of soldiers to the fulfillment of combat missions under the extreme conditions. Consortium is occupied also by the development of the systems of remote monitoring, which would make it possible to track the status of the health of soldiers directly in the battlefield.

My dear is a fury in the mornings, men acknowledge

That about which man have long ago they suspected and about which it is folded so many anecdotes, it is confirmed. As shows a new study, in the mornings the women are more quarrelsome than man. They frequently arise "not from that foot" and longer they remain in the poor arrangement of spirit.

13 percent I will give they be "not in the spirit" hour four after awakening in comparison with 10 % all men, it is spoken in report Sleep Council. As it is explained, strong floor on the part of the irritability strongly does not lag.

"entire the fact is that many more men, than women they have daily valuable seven-hour sleep; therefore something to be surprised, that more women, than men they be from the morning in the poor mood", note Dzhessika Alexander, representative of the organization, which conducted a study.

40% of those interrogated consider that the main reason for their morning irritability - restlessly carried out night, 24% indicate the stresses and the problems.

Most irritable proved to be londontsy: only 7 percent of them have valuable sleep.

Following GPS the German brought down the street toilet


German motorist too literally perceived the command of the navigation system of his automobile.

After command "now turn to the right" he it sharply turned control it cut into... the booth of street toilet. The turning, necessary for driver, was located in 30 meters further.

the 53- summer inhabitant of German city Freiburg it did not confuse, that its extra-road builder left to the pavement, but is later to the construction site the flight of stairs, where it cut into the toilet cabin.

Incident managed to nevezuchemu to German more than into 2500 dollars. For the repair of stairs it paid 2000 Euro- (2500 dollars), small breakdowns in the automobile cost approximately 100 Euro-. Furthermore, from the German took penalty in the size of 35 Euro-.

By the way, in the beginning of October 80- summer motorist from Hamburg also too clearly soblyudal of the command of navigation system ignored sign "closed to the reconstruction". He cut into the heap of sand, but, fortunately neither driver nor passengers did not suffer.

Apocalypse will begin in 2050

In report WWF Living Planet Report, are presented five possible scenarios of the development of planet the Earth. On the very worst scenario, which received name "everything as always", apocalypse will begin in 2050, it writes La stampa.

Report is comprised with the collaboration with the London society Zoological Society and the scientists Global Footprint.

Scientists made the sad conclusion that the ecological collapse was close and many can become the witnesses of most serious catastrophe in the history of humanity, more scale in comparison with that preceding, when microorganisms and gigantic animals perished.

Last alarm signal about the future of planet entered on 9 October, when the research center OF USA Global Footprint Network established fact of "ecological debit", i.e., the inhabitants of the Earth absorb more resources how planet in the state to produce.

If we are continue to waste depths, to soil water and air, to cut down forests and to devastate seas with the same speed as now, less than after it will not half a century remain that that it would be possible to burn, to poison and to use for the subsistence, the journeys and the entertainments.

"in the period from 1970 through 2003, it is said in the report, the living beings it became to 31% less". This means that bioraznoobraziye (variety of all coexisting together organisms) is reduced. BY THE USA, Finland and UNITED ARAB EMIRATES are located at the very beginning of the list of ecological destroyers.

"this decline never earlier it was observed", assert scientists, speaking about the state of planet, although it survived five mass destructions, into the period between 444 and 65 million years ago, when last catastrophe led to the loss of tirannozavrov and tritseratopsov. But this time the discussion does not deal with the fault of man and his immeasurable expense of resources. Not randomly Nobel prize winner Paul kruttsen named our era "anthropocene". If earlier geologists gave the names, which characterize the evolution of the Earth, then this term designates new era - completely artificial and technological.

This is why, prevent scientists, we proved to be at the point of no return. Cities, power stations and dwellings, which we is constructed at present, involve the countries in the process of super-consumption, although we must orient our generation and future generations in the direction of the ekosovmestimoy reality, with which to us it will be sufficient one Earth.

Blue-eyed men prefer blue-eyed women

In Norway, It understands. This scientific countries not only explained that the blue-eyed women draw blue-eyed men, but also they found to this scientific explanation.

According to the laws of genetics, if both partners are blue-eyed, in them is borne blue-eyed child. But if dark eyes - result is not so single-valued in one of the husbands.

But by all it is known that man they do not love to doubt the belonging of their posterity. Them it is desirable to be confident, that they are the true fathers of child. Thus, at the subconsious level, Norwegians select excellent half in such a way that the doubts it would not appear.

Scientists asked 88 students to sort out according to the degree of the attractiveness of the photograph of models. Blue-eyed men gave preference to blue-eyed girls, whereas it was not observed among the temnoglazykh men of this tendency.

Criminals "robbed" the empty bank

The band of robbers broke into the bank, which is located in the center of Rumanian city constant, planning to ensure itself for life. Under cover of night three people in the masks forced open the door of institution. Disappointment expected the mountain- robbers, when they illuminated accomodation by their flashlights. Bank was absolutely empty.

The central branch Nova Bank was shut to the repair in three days to the robbery; however, bandits, in all likelihood, did not find time to be prepared for the planned crime.

The disappointed criminals attempted to remove from the walls of the battery of central heating in order although something to carry out from the bank; however, this for them did not succeed, steel tubes were too strongly welded to each other.

At the output from the bank the robbers were noted by local residents, and although the police did not succeed herself in catching bandits on the spot of crime (which on the whole that did not take place), inspectors already composed the list of those suspected.

Ekaterina aragonskoy's entreaties will leave from the hammer

The letter to Ekaterina aragonskoy with the entreaty about the aid to preserve its marriage with the king Heinrich BY THE VIII will be advanced on auction Sotheby`.s, which will take place on 11 December in New York.

This letter - only part of the uncommon collection, where enter 31 objects. The name of collector, who wished to part with its treasures, is not called.

At the same auction is proposed to sale the document, written by Michelangelo buonarroti's hand, in whom the artist writes about some of important church commission in Rome. But also, according to the auctioneers, it will be possible to acquire document- autographs and things, which belonged to Beethoven, Chopin, Napoleon and Stalin.

Ekaterina, the first of six wives of king Heinrich OF THE VIII, it wrote to its nephew, to the emperor of the Roman Empire Charles V it requested him to use their influence in order to convince the Pope Klementa OF THE VII not to give to British monarch to cancel their marriage. Letter is dated on 8 February, 1534.

Clement OF THE VII heard the entreaties of queen and did not want to cancel bark, then Heinrich forewent BY THE VIII the Papal authority, but this, as we remember on the history, it led to the creation of Anglican Church.

Unique letter propalo out of sight since it was purchased for 38.000 dollars on one of the auctions of 1987. Now the starting price of document is 100.000 dollars, but auctioneers consider that they sell it still more expensive.

Teenagers began to earlier reach sexual maturity

The sexual training of schoolboys must begin by several years earlier, since at present the adolescents reach sexual maturity considerably earlier than their contemporaries, the living 100 years ago. So assume the British scientists, whose article is published into Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

The absence of proper standard of knowledge about the intimate life among the young people, which reached physiological maturity, unavoidably leads to an increase in the number of venereal diseases, unplanned pregnancies, abuses of alcohol and of narcotics, and also manifestations of teenage aggression, researchers prevent.

At present, according to the data of scientists, the average age of sexual ripening among the British adolescents is 12 years, and the break between the sexual and social development among them is now great never as.

According to one of the authors of the publication doctor Mark bellis, the accelerated sexual ripening of contemporary children is partly explained by the improved nourishment and sharp reduction in the prevalence of a number of children's infections.

At the same time not less important can prove to be the role of some social factors or family circumstances, notes Bellis. In spite of the absence of the reliable proofs of the fact that the children in the socially unhappy regions are developed more rapidly than their more provided for contemporaries, precisely, in these regions most sharply cost such problems as the high percentage of incomplete families and high birth rate. Doctor bellis also the results of the recently published study, according to whom sexual ripening begins considerably more rapid in girls, who grow in the families, where there is no father.

"we cannot relate to the children 21- GO of century exactly as we related to their contemporaries of 100 years ago, since they were unlike on their predecessors and are located on completely different stage of mental development", emphasized scientist.

Keys from the memory are stored in... the strawberries

As is considered scientists, strawberries not simply tasty berry. The one who eats it regularly, at the elderly age does not suffer from the loss of memory.

Researchers conducted laboratory experiences on the mice even they note that the powerful antioxidant, which is contained in the strawberries, strengthens the work of the brain.

The group of California specialists studied the properties of the natural substance of fisetin (complex glucoside), which protects cells from the degeneration.

As reported doctor pamela Maer, fisetin can prove to be presently "svyashchenny graalem" for strengthening the memory; however, in order to give precise answer and to open all special features of this unique substance, additional studies are necessary.

As writes the newspaper Sun, by one strawberries memory not to improve. Indeed so that the fisetin, which is contained in the strawberries, would act entirely, necessary to eat during the day to five kilograms of berries. But so allergy to not long earn. Experiences continue.

Britons let out the steam

Britons will establish new record for the ground-based specific transport, that work on the steam-powered motors. The previous speed record for given transportation means was 200 miles an hour (322 km/h).

Command British Steam Car Challenge built the steam engine with a power of 300 hp, which will be established on the new super-lightweight streamlined steam car by the name "inspiration", reports Avto.ru. Proof tests will be carry ouied in the desert Of vernyuk, in South Africa during July 2007.

Final verdict for this automobile will be carry ouied on the bottom of the dried lake Bonneville in THE USA during August of the same year.

Command British Steam Car Challenge was based by Charles bernett III- them to the money of his father - local prospering and the lord, who was vpechatlen the project of students of one of the British universities. The design of automobile developed the doctor of the clays Of bousher, which is also the technical director of project British Thrust SSC - established the speed record, which acts at present.

Record for the steam-powered automobiles was for the first time established By fredom Marriotom in 1906, then it could develop the speed into 205 km/h. In 1985 bean Barber attempted to beat the established record and even made this, after developing the speed of 233 km/h. However, to show the same result in the second round, as this requires regulations, did not know how.

Australian bore twins with the different color of the skin

According to the experts, the chances to the generation of twins with the different color of the skin be equal to one to million, he writes The Daily Mail.

The five-month sister- twins Of alisiya and the jasmine Of zingerl already simultaneously turn the heads, when parents leave with them to the street. However, is amazing in this case the fact that Alisiya black and kareglazaya, and jasmine blue-eyed and white.

Dvoynyashki were borne in the Australian town Of berpengeri in the family of 35- summer Natasha Knight with the jamaica- English roots and its husband, the 34- summer thoroughbred German Of mikaelya Of zingerla.

"this is amazing, they such different, says the mother of bliznyashek. - when we are afterward ancestral they saw, that they different color, we could not believe in this ".

"when we with them go for a walk on the street, people stop and do ask, they are actual twins, it continues. - others they look, but nothing they say. Maybe, they think that 4 it is simple nurses in one of them ".

According to the specialists in the field of genetics, in the majority of the cases of the egg cell of the woman of the mixed race they will possess the mixture of the genes, critical for the black and white skin, as a result of which be born the mulattos.

The cases, when one of the genes in the egg cell is dominant, much more rarely are observed. Then to the light appear either dark-skinned or belokozhiye twins. In this case there were two such egg cells, in one of them prevailed the gene with the dark pigmentation, while in another - with the white.

As speaks geneticist Stephen uizers, a similar phenomenon occurs extremely rarely. "the probability of such can be one to million. This is terribly rare phenomenon ", he said.

Australians are asked not to sing long songs under the shower

A little less to sing under the shower they call Australians in order to reduce the consumption of electric power and water.

Company Energy Australia, one of the leading suppliers of the electricity of the country, conducted the study, whose results testify: the average duration of washing in the soul in Australians is seven minutes.

For the inhabitants of green continent, who traditionally begin day from napevaniya of the dear motive under the water jets, these data became its kind cold shower. Like the call of management Energy Australia - to select for the tank room shorter songs.

Long shower, emphasizes company, similar to sponge, absorbs not only water, but also electricity. In this case the organizers of campaign on the savings of resources give other examples of irrational, in their opinion, behavior in the soul, to whom they carry shave, cleaning of teeth, game and pensiveness, the BBC reports. As far as the latter is concerned, here you will do nothing, speak representatives Energy Australia, but they resemble apropos of remaining hygienic procedures: "it is not compulsory to use shower, there is indeed shell".

Now Energy Australia extends in sydney and adjacent to the city regions of 500 thousand timers for soul, which are called to discipline the amateurs of morning washing and to inculcate in them love for the shorter "bath" melodies.

Dutchmen will send prostitutes to the soldiers

The mayor of the Dutch city Of almer Anna- Mary yoritsm it appeared with the idea to send to servicemen, who pass service abroad, prostitutes.

"army must examine the ways of that how soldiers we could let out vapor", said gradonachal'nitsa on one of the channels of Dutch televiden'ya, reports publication RUS.

"there is the opinion that several prostitutes could accompany servicemen in their trips. I think, this that, about which it is worthwhile to have a talk ", she stated, after adding that this solution will repulse in soldiers the desire to be turned to the local women.

German sent a cat by the mail

The 67 year old inhabitant Of rosdorf town in Germany randomly sealed up her dear tomcat into the message, which she sent to its nephew.

Edith shonberg intended to send to nephew gift to the birthday, and, in all likelihood, tomcat climbed up into the box, when woman went away after the wrapping paper.

Animal was discovered by the colleague of mail, who heard sorrowful mewing. Colleague called the police, which freed tomcat and summoned owner.

According to Edith, to the bell of the police it did not note the loss of favorite. "I was assured that it somewhere measures off itself", said mistress

Sheriff dug out grave searching for the truth

The procuratorship of American county Lincoln not will advance charges against the people, which dug up the remains of man, who asserted that he was the famous robber of 19 centuries - bills by Kyd.

That Sullivan, the former sheriff of county Lincoln, and his friend Stiv Of sedervol they dug up John Miller's skeleton during May 2005.

Procuratorship decreed, that in the former sheriffs was the permission to these actions. They hunted for the remains of famous bandit since 2003.

It was explained that the former servants of law greater than year attained permission to raskopku of grave. Later they returned the bone, and the skeleton of robber was anew devoted to the earth.

They began search in the fort Sumner, New Mexico, where, according to the historical evidences, bills Kyd was buried after the circuit court of county Lincoln sentenced him to death through the hanging in 1881 on the charge in the murder of sheriff.

The fact is that two former sheriffs believed in the legend, according to which bills Kyd not was hung. Instead of it to death was devoted another person, and sheriff Garrett, who allegedly hung Billa, he knew about the error and it lay.

Ten-year Britons learn about the sex

Institute for the study of social order of Great Britain recommends, already beginning from the 10-year age, to explain to children the need of using the contraceptive means.

This is caused by the fact that the British adolescents are most sexually active in Europe and more frequent than others they become pregnant.

In the communication it is said, that the children must learn about the contraceptives not in the upper classes, while at the age of 10-11 years. Prezervativy must freely sell in the schools and the colleges and cost cheaply.

In the schools they at present teach sexual training, beginning from 14 years. However, 38 percent of Britons are sexually active already at the age of 15 years, and each third asserts that it used prezervativom, when it were occupied by sex for the last time.

Therefore institute proposes to tell children about the risk, connected with the sexual life earlier than they even begin to think about the intimate relations.

The Internet -blog became the reason for the diplomatic scandal

The government of Sudan gave to the Chief of the Legation OF UNITED NATIONS Jan Pronku three days in order to leave the country. This happened after Pronk wrote on the pages of its bloga in the Internet, that the Sudan army suffers heavy losses in the rebellious region Of darfur, and that the moral spirit of its soldiers is very low.

After the appearance of these records in the Internet Sudan army required to send Pronka, after naming its notes psychological war.

Diplomat also wrote that the Sudan army recently lost two large battles in this region, and the Arab militia Of "dzhandzhavid", which they charge with the accomplishment of crimes with respect to innocent civilians, it disrupts the decisions BY UNITED NATIONS.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Sudan directed rotation Secretary General of the UN to Kofi Annan. In it it is said, that the government requests Chief of the Legation to leave the country, and established the period of its departure.

Annan's office stated that examined the letter and required from Pronka to arrive into New York for the consultation.

The resolution OF UNITED NATIONS, accepted on 31 August, 2006, provide for arrangement in Darfure of the peacemaking contingent, which could stop violence in the rebellious region. However, Sudan President Omar assan al -Bawir refused to accept this force, asserting that this would destroy the sovereignty of his country.

Fear causes cancer

The group of American scientists completed "striking", according to their own words, discovery, after demonstrating the presence of the connection between a feeling of fear and the development of oncologic diseases. Results are described in periodical Hormones and Behaviour, reports Live Science. A feeling of fear, generating cancer, does not shorten life - in the course of studies it was possible to demonstrate the absence of correlation in the lifetime between the formation of cancerous tumor and the loss of experimental animal in both groups of experimental animals - "cowardly" and "brave".

In the course of the experiments, set by the scientists of their university of Chicago under the management of doctor March Makklintok, was investigated the group of 81 female of the specific form of the rats, inclined to the development of the malignant new formations of breast and hypophysis. Was studied the "readiness" of each of the mice at the age of 20 days to study new for them, deprived of the visible threats, medium - i.e., the individual degree of the fear, to which each individual was subjected. Then, when mice reached the age (390 days) average for them, scientists verified, in what mice began the development of cancer, and in what - no.

Results proved to be impressive on the persuasiveness. Cancer was revealed in 80% of "cowardly" mice and only in 38% of those, who "brave" mastered new medium.

The results of a new study make it possible to make a conclusion about the presence of of deeper than it was assumed contemporary science before, the connection between the "personality" and the physiological processes (or, if conveniently, between the "soul" and the "body"). This makes it possible in a new way to approach the development of the connection between the development of cancer and the special features of nature in man.

Excess weight is frequently connected with the shortage of sleep

The problem of children's obesity in many instances is connected with the fact, how long child will sleep. As reports today Greco- Cypriot press, the researchers from the British Bristol university came to this conclusion.

In the children, who sleep less than 8 it is hour in a 24 hour period, differently are manufactured the hormones, which control appetite, counts Shakhrad Of takheri, the representative of the group of scientists from the Bristol university. In this case children's sleep becomes increasingly shorter because of the television sets, the cell phones and the computers, which render to the young generation the exciting action. Researchers consider that all latest achievements of technology must be removed from the rooms, where children live.

However, many parents in Cyprus are not agreeable with the recommendations of British researchers. To remove technology from the children's is impossible, they count. Contemporary children do not think of themselves without the technical entertainments: the Internet, text communications on the cell phone also of survey telecast.

In the opinion of the chief children's pediatrician on the island Of savvasa of Savvas, about the interrelation between the excess weight and chronic nedosypom known long ago. "those people, who will sleep less than 8 it is hour in a 24 hour period, more frequently have excess kilograms, if we compare with those, who rest more than this period. Sleep plays the leading role in the development of obesity; however, this illness appears as a result of the entire complex of different factors ", he said. Savva added that the best method for dealing with the unnecessary kilograms - correct nourishment and the active means of life, which assumes valuable sleep.

Australians found the place of the origin of the earliest life

Australian researchers revealed evidence of the fact that the pulled to 8.000 kilometers "supers-mountain", there is no time so high as the Himalayas, steel one of the first sources of life on the Earth.

These mountains covered the prehistoric supercontinent Of gondvana, which more lately was decomposed, after forming modern Australia, Africa, Antarctica, New Zealand, South America and Arabia, counts Rik squire from the department of geophysical studies Of the mel'burnskeyeo university Of monash.

Doctor skvayr together with other three scientists studied the formation of the deposits of gold in the mine Of steyvell in the West of the staff of Victorias. Specifically, there was made discovery.

Researchers with the aid of the spectrometer determine the age of the mineral of zircon. The tracks of zircon, very similar by the age and the composition, were found in the sandstone on all continents, which there is no time composed Gondvanu.

Scientists consider that probably this sand - part of the now destroyed super-mountain, which arose with the collision of the eastern and western parts Of gondvany, approximately 500-650 million years ago.

The subsequent erosion of the mountain range contributed to the discharge into the ocean of an enormous quantity of chemical elements, including iron, phosphorus, magnesium and calcium. "gigantic rivers washed away this entire sand, partially washed off it into the ocean, and partially they detained on the coast Of gondvany. This changed the chemical composition of ocean ", count researchers.

"we assume that this process ensured the large inflow of the nutrients, which led to the bloom of gigantic algae and plants, which became the source of food, and it means and by possibility for a radical increase in the animal life".

In detail the results of a study are published in the last number of the geological periodical Earth and Planetary Science Letters.

Robber with the excellent taste is arrested

The robber, accused of the theft of automobile Porsche Boxster, motorcycle Harley Davidson and the bottle of wine Penfolds Grange, was arrested in Adelaide.

The property, stolen during December of past year as a result of breaking and illegal penetration into one of the houses of the suburb Of springfild, is evaluated at 250.000 Australian dollars.

36- summer criminal was convicted and appeared before the city court on Monday, on 23 October.

Law court, apparently, on the merit will estimate a good taste of burglar. It is it's a pity, which with this taste it is necessary to finish distilling that assumed in the neestetichnoy cell.

Mexico established the chess record

On Sunday, 22 October, more than 13.000 chess players conducted battle over the central area of Mexico City - they were attempted to establish world record in the largest quantity of parties, played simultaneously, also, in one place.

Enormous video the screens, established over the area, gave out communication - record it was established. However, it is officially recognized itself only if this fact will confirm the observers of company Guinness World Records, who was present on this mega-event.

Previous record was established in the past year in the Mexican city of the Pachucas, in 95 kilometers to the northeast from the capital - then their kings and the queens they simultaneously moved 12.388 players.

Lilac tomatoes will save from cancer

The scientists of Oregon university derived the new type of the tomatoes, which possess lilac rind and contain a number of the useful substances, unusual for the usual tomatoes. The pigment, which is contained in the lilac tomatoes, contributes to reduction in the risk of the disease by cancer and the disturbance of the activity of heart.

Six years are shrewd to the removal of the new cultivated type. After only two years new tomatoes can fall on table to users. However, researchers report that at the basis of their experiments lie not the chemical and genetic mutations, but the real tomatoes, which grow in South America.

Several hundred years ago researchers revealed in the jungle of South America the tomatoes of lilac color, but that form tomato did not fall on tables, since fruits were very small and places even poisonous.

Already in THE XXI century a discovery the new properties of lilac tomatoes made the student of Oregon university Karl Jones. He established that the lilac wild tomatoes, in contrast to the red fellows, contain anthocyan, chemical connections, which impart to fruits lilac color and possessing the properties of antioxidants.

The professor of Oregon university, who leads by project, stated that his lilac tomatoes thus far badly are sold. It asserts that a study is not set as a goal to change peace; however, gives the possibility to make this to farmers and salesmen of vegetables.

At the same time, although the local residents already can purchase lilac tomatoes, farmers and salesmen nevertheless do not hurry to be connected with the new form of tomatoes.

Buyers are frightened, when such vegetables on the counters see, professor reported. Also thus far stands problem with the taste of fruits, which is differed from standard. But scientists work on by it and hope after several years to bring the organoleptic properties of lilac tomatoes into correspondence with the needs of users.

One additional secret of the other world life is revealed

the "godly comedy" of antiquity can prove to be the ancient text, to decipher which it was possible for the international command of researchers. More than forty years after finding of unique document the scientists could read the creation of the unknown Ancient Greek author, who reflected about the the other world peace.

The papyrus Of derveni - this name obtained the roll, discovered in 1962 during the excavations in North Greece near Solonikov. Finding was made with a study of tomb of one of the aristocrats, which lived and dead in the times of the bloom of hellenic civilization. The authors of discovery dated the document of approximately 340 g. B.C., i.e., with the time of the administration of Philipp THE II Macedonian, the father of Alexander the Great. However, there is the opinion that the artifact can be considerably older. Thus, contemporary Greek philosopher apostolos Piyerris are confident: treatise was written even in V v. to Christmas of Christ's.

To determine precise date is impossible. The fact is that the roll was found damaged, or more precisely, sgorevshim or burnt together with its dead owner, in whose grave it lay almost 2,5 thousand years. In other words, in 1962 was found the incinerated papyrus, which was preserved in the form of roll. At that time to read which is written on it, not there was possibility. "paper is absolutely black, by the unarmed view cannot be even determined, there is on it record or there are not", it tells Polikseni Of veleni, the director of the archaelogical museum Of solonikov.

But the manuscripts, as is known, do not burn, and today, when at the disposal of science are located highly technological methods of interpretation and the contemporary scanning equipment, the secret of ancient text it was opened. That was possible to read in the charred roll, with the interest justified forces and time, spent on a study. The creation of the ancient author proved to be its kind the "godly comedy" of the antiquity: Ancient Greek writer, who lived in one-and-a-half thousand years to Dante, carries out the reader on Aida - to the other world peace, in which believed the inhabitants of ancient Ellady. But if the hero of "godly comedy" it accompanies Vergiliy, then the author of the papyrus Of derveni in his searches uses the services of Orpheus, who studied well reign Aida, after going down there in order to save its beloved Euridice.

The complete text of roll is not thus far promulgated, since to its final interpretation the time is necessary. But, probably, already entirely soon to the most important sources, which tell us about the world view of hellenes, will be added one more.

"emotional" purchases are more advantageous than "rational"

Psychologists from the university Of ayovy came to the conclusion that the typical buyer counts more expensive article - higher-quality. A similar conclusion does not frequently correspond to reality. However, only the minute quantity of buyers they try to estimate the real qualities of goods, but not only is focused attention on its price characteristics.

Man makes purchases, being based either on the emotions (for example, on the basis of principle "it pleases itself - it does not please itself"), or on the cold calculation (a "good quality", "acceptable price", etc.). In this case, the reason frequently is inferior to the emotions: when, for example, buyer selects the model of machine, because to him in it it is pleasant to be located, but not because it possesses high consumer characteristics. Nevertheless, "emotional" purchases in the long-term outlook prove to be more advantageous than "rational". Article with the results of this study published periodical Journal of Consumer Research.
