Cocaine and acts of terror - basic reasons for the infarctions

In spite of the existing myth, the sex does not increase the risk of heart attack, as Australian scientists explained. However, the use of cocaine increases the probability of infarction 20.

Researchers from the universities of sydney and Harvard analyzed all incentives for heart attacks, including occupations by sex, the use of cocaine, fatty food and stresses, for example, terrorist attacks.

Professor Dzheffri Of tofler says that the traditional long-term measures, as diet and the regime of day, are important for averting the heart attacks; however, other reasons often are ignored.

For example, cocaine sex, much greater than influences heart activity, increasing the risk of heart attack 20 times.

40% of heart attacks occur on such external circumstances as sudden stress or physical load. Tofler indicates that the earthquakes or such events, as acts of terror, sharply increase the risk of infarction.

Tofler considers that the rescue units must have an equipment in order to render assistance in the case of heart attack, but not only in the case of solid damages.

Professor tofler and its associate from Harvard James Muller used results of this study in order to manufacture new approach to averting of infarction.

They assert that people must understand, what reasons can lead to the problems testily, then they can govern their own health.

Scientists criticized severely the recommendations, which were based on the common sense, but not on the results of studies. For example, council, that the people predisposed to the heart problems must not mow lawn during the hot day. They likened these recommendations, in detail described in the cardiological periodical Circulation, to the tarpaulin, which was stretched far from the rain.

The outlines of finding are similar to the traditionally depicted head of Indian soldier. Previously stone sculpture not was known neither to the wide circle of community nor even specialists.

I devote its discovery to all those researchers, who were forced for a long time to go, to subjugate space and to achieve their goal by the price of incredible efforts. However, 4 I sit at home after being armed by mouse and computer, and to me these tools be sufficient , said Khikoks, which recently took to itself it was no (Internet- pseudonym) Superbabulya.

On the satellite image, obtained from south the Alberts, is clearly visible the profile of Indian with iPod with head set in the ear. Thus, from the height of bird flight appears the path, which leads to the source of natural gas.

Scientists declassified the composition of the espionage inks

The formula of invisible inks, utilized by an East-German secret by the police in order to transfer communications during the Cold War, until now, remained undeciphered.

It is more than fifteen years after a drop in the Berlin Wall and reunification of East and West Germany, scientists assume that finally they found the chemical composition of these inks.

The agents of German special services brought text to the paper through the similar to the carbon paper film, impregnated with chemical substance. Message could read only that person, in which there was another liquid, which makes it possible to appear invisible letters.

A few agents even in the limits of the service of state security knew complete formula both for the writing and for the reading of secret letters from the fear that they can transmit this information to other country.

The confidential archives of German special services were declassified after a drop in the Communist regime and destruction of the Berlin Wall in 1989, but in them not there was instruction, which describes the process of invisible letter.

The historian of the Univeristy of Michigan To kraysti Makrakis and its command, in composition of which worked the chemists, via tests and errors deciphered formula. Chemical reaction was described in one of the documents, discovered in the archive, but it was incomplete. Scientists experimented with different quantities of chemicals. It turned out that pH the factor was decisive for obtaining the secret substance.

Britons with the pleasure will drink and smoke

In the very near future British users can buy European alcohol and cigarettes on the decreased prices, without leaving house. This will become possible, because of the extraodinary experiment, which threatens to make multibillion hole in the budget of treasury.

As they expect, on the following week the European law court of validity will take the solution about the fact that the goods, purchased in other states THE EUROPEAN UNION and delivered to you home, are assessed only those taxes, which are accepted in the country of the producer of goods. But this is only the part of the collections, which it is accepted to collect in Great Britain.

If the verdict of law court crosses the previous judicial solution, then buyers will free for the acquisition of different goods use Internet- stores or companies, which carry out the delivery of goods with the aid of the post transfers. Now it will be sufficient it suffices look the most acceptable prices and conditions.

Potential savings - simply gigantic: let us say 200 cigarettes, purchased in Latvia, they cost only 7,20 it is pounds sterling, which makes possible for Briton to save 43 pounds, but still some countries of Europe do not assess tax the exported wines.

>From other side, such gigantic losses await the British treasury. Yearly it obtained from the taxes to cigarettes and alcohol 15 billion it was pounds sterling.

On this week of 197 inhabitants Viganelly (Viganella), by that buried in the narrow valley of anthrone, to the north of Torino, will be collected on occasion of the arrival of the made to order steel sheet with a width of 8 it is meter and by height - 5. It they will deliver by helicopter to the fixed point on the slope of mountain.

The mayor of village, Perfranko Of midali, who leads project, it is confident, what village more not will suffer from the complete absence of straight sunlight during 83 days in the year - from 11 November through 2 February.

With weight more than one ton the mirror will be placed among the pine trees on the peak of Swedish coal, its height reaches 1.080 it is meter. The motors controlled by computer will allow mirror to follow the sun, reflecting its rays to the rural area and illuminating during six it is hour during the day area in 270 square it is meter.

The cost of entire project - almost 100.000 Euro- - partly covered particular bank, the remaining part of the money introduced rural and local councils. The producer of mirror guarantees, that it is capable of maintaining the highest winds, and will serve, at least, 30 years.

Blind obtained chance to again see the world

The new method of treatment, which will allow to return sight thousands of people, is found.

British scientists restored sight to the mice, that suffer from the dystrophia of yellow spot (AMD) dependent on age. For this they used fundamentally new technology with the use of stem cells. AMD - one of the main reasons, which lead to blindness, notes the newspaper Sun.

Doctor Robert maklaren from university college to London notes: this investigation for the first time showed that a similar transplantation of cells is completely possible. Now we are assured: this is - main way for further studies and restoring the sight to thousands of those, who it lost .

The pigment epithelium of retina plays the significant role for our sight, forming the external barrier of retina and supporting the function of the cells, which assume light. The damage of pigment epithelium is present in many illnesses of retina, including the dystrophia of yellow spot dependent on age, which, for example, in THE USA suffer more than 1,75 million people.

Britons created the portrait of the ideal comedian

Scientists connected the characteristic features of 20 chief comedians of Britain in order to create the portrait of ideal comedian.

In the sums they came to the conclusion that us, most likely, will force to laugh man with round face, small by forehead, by wide nose and soft by somewhat feminine features.

In the opinion of researchers from the university of sterling, Riki Of dzhervis - actor, closest to this type. Dzhervis itself said that it was shaken by the conclusions of scientists.

all these years I considered that my success in the line of business of comedian - these are the merit of my sharp observations, experimental the directors of ideas and sharpened actors habits. As a result it occurs that the reason for my popularity - round, fatty womanish physiognomy , says Dzhervis.

Obtained data became the result of the tests, carry ouied by doctor Anthony Little, researcher in the field of psychology.

Then scientist drove away through the computer 179 different photographs of the best 20 British comedians, made at different angles.

Google is converted into the means of medical diagnostics

Doctors increasingly more actively they call to be turned to the search system Google, capable soak by them with the diagnosis of the most complex diseases.

In the course of experiment search machine found in the Internet correct diagnosis in 58 % difficult cases.

Researchers from the hospital of the princess of Alexandra in Brisbene, Australia, selected 26 difficult for the doctors cases from periodical Journal of Medicine, which emerges in new England, and conducted search in Google on the keywords.

Then they arbitrarily selected the diagnoses, found in the Internet, and compared them with the correct diagnoses, represented in the periodical. Of 26 cases of Google gave the correct answer into 15 of them.
In this case the experts assert that, if search with the aid of Google conduct doctors, they obtain the best result, than patients, for which with more difficulty to select correct diagnosis.

The detailed results of a study were published in the British medical periodical (BMJ). It is indicated at conclusion of article that doctor and the patients ever more and more effectively work with the Internet and frequently they use Google for retrieval for medical information.

in the course of our study we came to the conclusion that in complex, from the point of view of diagnosis the cases, it is often useful to compare diagnosis with Google.

net search machines of the type Google become important tool in clinical medicine, and to doctors it is necessary to give the habits of the use of these systems, note the authors.

The press- secretary of the association of the protection of the rights of patients has on this score another opinion: if doctors with the diagnosis of diseases begin to widely use Web sites, this cannot but cause serious uneasiness. But which will be, if they give to patient false information?

Robot said to the man: you are the pig

The Japanese irrepressible continue to create the robots, which are called to help us in the daily life. Besides the robot- housewives, the robot- guards, the robot- waiters, the robot- triggers, the robot- librarians, was created the robot -somel6e, about which site MIGnews it reported earlier.

For the identification of the gustatory variety of products and beverages the robot uses analysis on basis of infrared radiation. For the analysis it is necessary to pour out 5 milliliters of wine to the tray before the robot. After this, the light-emitting diodes of device direct infrared light to the liquid, and the light reflected from it is fixed with light-emitting diodes.

Depending on that, of what components consists by fault, the wavelength of the infrared light, which was absorbed by wine, it will differ. The prototype of robot can during thirty seconds give estimation to organic components more than 30 it is quality the fault, and also isolate into the separate categories of the type of the grapevine, which went to the preparation of each concrete wine.

Since these components are unique for the different regions, in which it is produced by fault, robot can also error-free determine, in what part of the light the beverage is produced.

However, with the Japanese robot -somel6e it were connected incident. It randomly entangled man with the hors d oeuvre, about which it gaily reported to that surrounding.

Journalist, moved with curiosity, made reporting about electronic somele slipped to robot under the nose his own hand - and it was described as the bacon.

The operator removed episode made an analogous attempt - and it was acknowledged as sharp smoked ham.

Amusing error was committed by 60- centimeter taster and to somele at the current presentation.

The Japanese are not thus far intended to let out this robot for the market, but in the following year, possibly, in sale will appear its product sensor. Price is not thus far known, but developers attempt to decrease it to 1 thousand dollars (robot itself it stands as automobile).

Hobbies - this is serious

Hobbies - this and entertainment, and the method to kill free time. Sometimes hobby is converted into the sense of life. Hobbies are different, now and then so, that it is not plotted in the head, as men it hit upon to a similar pasttime.

Barcelona decided to prove to be in front of the planet of entire after opening exhibition dedicated to the different methods of conducting the free time - salon of hobbies -2006.

The total area of exposure composed twenty six thousand square it was meter. On them are placed the stands with the proposals from more than two hundred organizations and public motions on conducting of leisure.

Interesting exhibits will be represented as for the children, so also for the adult. During the visit of the elephant of hobbies -2006 it will be possible to arrange the pickers of the radio-controlled machines, study aviamodelirovaniyem and porisovat on the enormous fabrics.

Sequential mode to the old times whipped recently the inhabitants of Spain. They gradually revive the hobby of our great-grandmothers - embroidering by small cross on the canvas. Several stands of salon are dedicated to this enthusiasm.

Drinking water will convert men into women

Hormone estrogen, which is contained in the urine of women, who assume contraceptive means, that falls into water of natural reservoirs with the sewerage drains, can lead to serious changes in the reproductive organs of fishes ob this it is spoken in the report of British agency on the environment.

For five years the scientists conducted the studies, in course of which they controlled fishes in ten rivers. In half of males they almost found roe, and many of them had female reproductive organs. The tenth part of the males could not manufacture sperm, but one fourth - produced the rejected sperm. Scientists sound the alarm, since from the river water estrogen can fall, also, into drinking water.

Fortunately, the researchers did not thus far find estrogen in the drinking water; however, this does not calm specialists. They assert that even the contemporary technologies do not make it possible to reveal the smallest particles of this hormone in the drinking water.

As asserts doctor syuzan Dzhobling, everything that we eat, that we bring to the skin, that we get down into the canalization, it occurs, in the final analysis, in the river. So that it is possible to assert that we live in the chemical cocktail, and I I think what to eat the serious foundations for worry about that, it will not happen the same, which occurs with the reproductive qualities of fish- males, with the reproductive functions of men .
