British doctors speak in favor of the legalization of children's euthanasia

British doctors speak in favor of the permission of "active euthanasia" for the nonviable babies. The proposal of the specialists of the royal college of midwifery and gynecology was introduced within the framework of fight with the late abortions.

In the opinion of physicians, this step would make it possible not only to reduce the number of terminations of pregnancy during the late periods, but also it would allow parents there is no child to decide to leave child with the serious deviation or.

Often pathologies can be determined only in the recent months of pregnancy. The parents of child- invalid, encounter serious psychological and financial problems. Not all are ready to a similar step, and children occur in the shelters.

Doctors assert that the medical orderlies in roddomakh secretly and free of charge do not help in similar cases, which leads to the crime and not by whom is not checked. the "legalization" of active euthanasia "would make it possible to establish clear criteria and control over death of child- invalids", assert physicians.

German army needs the dead dogs

The representatives of the army of Germany directed demand to the mistress of dog so that four year old kobel' would be given for the bearing of service.

Problem consists in the fact that the dog, that was necessary by German command... it passed away in 2002.

Pyatidesyatitrekhletnyaya Khel'ga To kel'ke from Rostoka, North Germany, obtained official letter from the army officials, where it is indicated that its dear pekines on the nickname As tomi Of dzhekob can bring benefit to the fatherland and serve for the good of the native land.

"at first I thought that this is joke, but then I it saw official press on the document. Is probable this error, indeed Tommy dzhekob's bednyazhka was practically blind ", said frau Kel'ke.

The management of the office of German army expressed hope that to frau Kel'ke will take apologies for the inadvertence allowed by officials on the misunderstanding.

Web site investigates the influence of sex on the sport

Web site searches for the volunteers, who are ready to place their sexual and sport achievements on the altar of science.

Tim rodzhers calls the volunteers of news diary for the pages of its site in the Internet (www.realbuzz.com) in order to trace, as active sexual life it influences the health, the sport successes and a good health.

Rodzhers indicates that no one carried out serious studies, as sex it acts on the achievements, for example, of athletes. Answer to a question interests it, does lead active sexual life to the higher sport achievements, or vice versa. It expects that the volunteers will forget about the shyness, and they will give sincere feedback.

It also sets for itself as a goal to scatter some myths, which surround the object of experiment. "we attempt soak people to become more active and to delight in by the healthy means of life", asserts the owner of site, "sex plays large role in the life, and we will attempt to determine, how it is important for the health".

Very initiator of a study is not alien to sport. He placed world record in the Marathon and is considered one of the most rapid runners to the long distances in the world.

"cold" mice live longer

Scientists report that the mice, in which is lowered the temperature of body as a result of genetic mutation, live longer.

The previous studies showed that a decrease in the temperature of body is capable of slowing down aging process and of prolonging life in cold-blooded animals - fishes, worms and flies. But scientists did not know, until now, is it possible to dostich' a similar effect in the birds and the mammals.

Researchers from the California institute Of skrippsa reduced the temperature of body in mice with the aid of the genetic mutations in the cells in the section of the brain, which answers for the regulation of the temperature of body.

Thus, the command of scientists created the mice, the temperature of body of which was below normal. This small change increased the lifetime of animals by 15 percent.

Interestingly, while males lived on the average 12 percent longer, the lifetime of females increased by 20 percent.

These data can soak to the development of the new methods of treating the diseases, connected with the aging, researchers assert.

The preparations, which reduce the temperature of body, can, possibly, replace the application of ice in the surgery, which presents danger because of reduction in the inflow of the blood to the brain

In the ocean depths the new living being is discovered

The research group, headed by professor from the Florida university by Leonid Moroz, established that the organism, discovered in the waters Of baltiki in 1949, relates to the new type of animals. About this discovery reports the scientific journal Nature.

According to the data of genetic analysis, the essence, which presents the kind of ksenoturbella (Xenoturbella), which outwardly resembles the worm, is the representative of the group, which gave beginning to vertebrates, and also lantsetnikam and Trunicata. Initially genetic tests showed that ksenoturbella relates to the mollusks. However, as it was explained, DNA of mollusks fell into the investigated material as a result of the fact that this essence feeds by the eggs of mollusks, and it is evolutionarily shrewd from them not very far.

Carry ouied in Moroz's laboratory the more precise study of genome, which included identification of approximately 1300 genes from DNA of nuclei and mitochondria of the cells of ksenoturbelly, confirmed that the kind of these animals must be related to separate type. Above through the classification of the living beings are located only reigns.

Animal reaches four centimeters in the length. The mechanism of the multiplication of ksenoturbell is not thus far clear. They do not have the digestive tract and the centralized brain. Last fact led researchers to the important conclusion that the central nervous system arose in the course of evolution twice. This assumption to a considerable degree refines scientific ideas about the motion of the evolution of the brain.

The swindle of the century is resolved

For Spanish law-enforcement agencies it was possible to open the largest international financial shady transaction, as a result of which on the calculations of several branches of foreign banks were frozen more than 2 million Euro-.

Swindle was opened with conducting of the operation under the code name "sweater", in the course of which took place the searches in the Madrid and barselonskikh branches of Portuguese bank "eshpiritu Santa" and in the Madrid branch of Parisian national bank.

Searches in the offices and groove of documents were produced entire twenty-four hours - from the morning of Thursday until the morning of Friday - by the forces of 180 colleagues of civil guards and tax organs of Spain.

The matter about the financial abuses conducts the well-known Spanish judicial inspector Of bal'tasar Of garson according to the commission of attorney in the matters about Louis pastor's corruption.

Judging by everything, money illegally imported into Spain by several international trusts, which suspect of the money laundering and the nonpayment of taxes. On one of the diagrams the money hid themselves from the taxation, then they were twisted in Luxemburg and France, and after this - on the urgent contributions in Spain.

The establishment, whose calculations proved to be blocked, do not for the first time burn in the field of the sight of law-enforcement agencies. In particular, Portuguese authorities already more than year investigate the activity of bank To "eshpiritu Santa" in the suspicion of the washing of capital.

Meanwhile after communication about the withdrawal of documents and the blocking of means the cost of actions To "eshpiritu Santa" on the exchange fell to 12.35 Euro- per share.

The Japanese caught dolphin "with the legs"

On 28 October in Japan coast was caught unique dolphin -afalina. On the assertion of scientists, it possesses the additional rear fins, which can be the remainders of rear paws this discovery sequential time it confirms that the ancestors of dolphins once walked on the land.

Fisherman on the western coast of Japan caught dolphin with four fins and reported this to the located near museum, dedicated to whales.

Scientists consider that somewhere 50 million years ago the whales and dolphins possessed four paws. Moreover, they have general ancestors with the hippopotamuss and the deer. Then send these mammals into the aqueous medium, front paws became fins, and rear simply atrophied.

Let us note that the embryos of whales and dolphins have signs of rear extremities, but they disappear before the generation. Sharp mutation, possibly, forces ancient feature from time to time to confirm itself, note specialists.

Unique dolphin will be located in the museum Of taydzhi, he will pass roentgenoscopy and tests on DNA.

Scientists reveal the secrets of the spider silk

Researchers are assured that this technology completely can be adopted in nature and used with the production of many man-made materials.

In their experiences the professor of engineering the mechanics Garrett Makkinli from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and its student of Nicolas koyich studied the silk of gold krugopryada Nephila clavipes.

This form interested them because cobweb in this krugopryada improbably strong - into it fall the small birds, and fishermen even make from it network.

At that moment, when spider produces thread, it to 30-40% consists of different proteins, and rest - this water. As it described Makkinli, cobweb - surprising invention of nature: although the aqueous solution serves as material for its production, after drying it is converted into not water-soluble fiber.

Researchers focused also attention on the fact that with drying of solution inside the threads the tiny crystal structures, which additionally strengthen cobweb, are formed. Scientists consider that this is the very important special feature, which should be considered with the industrial production of artificial silk. I.e., in it it is simply necessary to add special nanos-particle, and they will make it considerably stronger.

But recently the group of specialists from the university of Oxford under professor Fritz vollrat's management revealed that the process of the formation of silk in spiders in many respects proceeds just as in mulberry silkworms, reports MEMBRANA.

Interestingly not only that that these are completely different essences with the different evolution. Is amazing the fact that the proteins of silk strongly are distinguished, although they possess very similar properties.

Scientists found that the solution, from which these insects create thread, from some parameters is similar to the usual plastic. For example, the researchers focused attention on the fact that with the compression this substance is diluted. This characteristic is necessary in order to pass the solution through the channel, at the output from which, this substance rapidly thickens.

The same property possesses the molten plastic, which was opened even in the 20's of the past century. Therefore it is possible to say that one of the technologies of work with the natural silk in biologists already exists. True, it is unknown, does propose Vollrat any versions of the practical use of its discovery.

The woman headed Episcopalian church in THE USA

Ketrin Of dzhefferts of Chori - first woman, who became the leader of American Episcopalian church the first by woman- priest, who headed American Anglican community.

Chori's Dzhefferts, noted for its support of gays, coming out on the ceremony of the inauguration in the Washington national cathedral she said that the fact of division realizes, and it called parishioners to pridti to the peace and the agreement with those, who speak against the new management of American church.

"if someone feels itself pinched by the last solutions, then our spiritual health and prosperity are located in the danger. Our responsibility to find to this recovery and to be united ", it said Chori in the course of ceremony.

It is earlier, in 2003 in the Episcopalian church OF THE USA took place first rukopolozheniye into the bishop of open sodomita, which caused the protracted crisis in the world Anglican association.

During June of this year the general meeting of the Episcopalian church OF THE USA was handled call to the bishops "to manifest restraint and not to agree to rukopolozheniye of the persons, whose means of life is by that causing for the church in the broad sense". However, this was only the recommendation, optional for the performance.

In 2003 the Russian Orthodox Church tore relations with the Episcopalian church OF THE USA. On the incompatibility of homosexuality with the biblical study stated the head of world Anglican association archbishop kenterberiyskiy Rouen Williams.

Russia first in the world will see Windows vista

On 7 November in Moscow takes place Microsoft Business Forum - the traditional largest conference for the leaders of companies, organized Microsoft in Russia.

At the conference also will come out the chairman of the administration of corporation Microsoft Of bill Gates.

Russians by the first can be introduced to the new versions Microsoft Dynamics AX, Microsoft Office, Windows vista, it is earlier than their official presentation.

World of the premier of these products is outlined on 30 November. But into retail sale Windows vista and Office 2007 they must enter during January 2007.

Within the framework of forum will also work the exhibition, on which partners Microsoft will present their solutions for control of business and optimization of the work of colleagues.

Britons consider safe sex the manifestation of the disrespect

British young people count the use of prezervativov by a manifestation of distrust with respect to the partner.

According to the results of the survey of the public opinion, carry ouied by the London school of hygiene and medicine, social and cultural and the factors influence the use of a "rubber thing"

The majority of Britons at the age from 14 to 25 years evaluates probability to be infected by the venereal disease by the appearance of partner and with the duration of relations.

The majorities of respondents consider that the use of prezervativa is the manifestation of distrust to the partner, although there are those, who named this habit - by sign of rich sexual experience and frequent change of partners.

In the opinion of scientists, these results can explain the ineffectiveness of the propaganda of fight with AIDS.

The Internet presents danger to society

The developer of world wide network sir Tim berners-Li is perturbed by the propagation of disinformation and antidemocratic propaganda in the Internet.

He asserts that the appearance of the Internet changed the approach of people to the work, the games and the business, but the development of network is complicated to check, which can have negative consequences. Therefore it proposes to conduct studies in order to study the social value of the development of world network.

The changes, to which led the development of the Internet - only beginning of the more radical remaking of society, he does speak Berners-.

Its new initiative of a study of the science of network will be more than a usual study about the role of computers. He wants to draw the researchers of other disciplines in order to study the Internet as social and technological phenomenon.

In sir Tim, who developed network at the end of the y980-ykh, he says relative to its invention that it was made "in the correct place in the necessary time".

Genetics will fight with death in the cradle

American scientists assume that they established the reason of death of babies. According to them, all these cases are connected with the genetic disease, which, in principle, yields to treatment.

A new study showed that 31 babies, mysteriously passed away in the sleep, had the cerebral deviations, connected with control of respiration, cardiac rhythm, blood pressure and activity of central nervous system.

Disturbances, as specialists consider, they concern the ability of the brain stem to receive high carbon-dioxide content and low level of oxygen.

This means that for the babies are especially dangerous the situations, with whom they begin to inhale their own pererabotannoye respiration. The most general cases of mortality from a similar suffocation, when little-ones sleep face down or if face is covered with blanket.

A study showed that if the baby is plotted to sleep to the stomach, this sharply increases the risk of sudden death during the sleep.

Yearly only in Great Britain record about 300 cases of death in the cradle. Mainly perish children younger half a year.

Live for long, eat much - resveratol will help

Red wine in large quantities, is more accurate drawing from it, it helps fat mice to consume food with the high content it is fatty, also, in this case to live for long, being in complete zdravii. Are such the results of a new study, which the scientists already named "sensational". A question in that, will operate this magic on the people?

Scientists say that until it is too early to begin to absorb red fault barrels. But they call the last study to "that gripping and that being promising".

A study was carried out by the specialists of the medical department of Harvard University and national institute for the problems of aging. It showed that the large doses of the extract of red wine reduce in fat mice the level of sugar in the blood (diabetes), remove the problems of the liver and liquidate other, connected with obesity consequences.

Mortality from obesity among the fat mice, that sit on the wine additives, was reduced by 31 percent in comparison with the mice, that did not obtain wine makeup. Furthermore, mice of the experimental group lived longer than the standard lifetime, characteristic for these rodents.

It is amazing, but the organs of the fatty mice, that obtained wine extract, they appeared normal, although this "simply it could not be", notes the author of a study, doctor David Sinclair from Harvard. According to him, will be required additional laboratory analyses, in order to prove that the wine component also influences also the lifetime of the mice of standard size, i.e., those, who do not suffer obesity.

Already long ago red fault is considered useful for the health. But the new study, whose results are published on Thursday by periodical Nature, shows that the mammals, that obtain the increased doses of the extract of red wine - resveratola, do not suffer from the surplus of the absorbed calories. Resveratol gives the effect of reduction in the calories, although in reality the food nourishment value remains very high.

Previously American scientists from John khopkins's university proved that resveratol contributes to an increase in the viability of the cells of brain with the strokes.

Khidzhab - attribute of prostitutes, proved the Turkish historian

Muazzez Il'miye Cho, 92- summer woman- historian, it is justified by Istanbul law court. According to the remote verdict, scientist was not occupied by kindling hatred and not oskorblyala of religious feelings by its study of the origin of khidzhaba.

In the past year Cho it published the results of the transfer of three thousand clay tables, which relate to the shumerskoy culture of 5.000- summer remoteness. As it was explained, face with veil originally shut khramovye prostitutes. This ancient version of khidzhaba distinguished the "priestesses of love" from other priestesses.

Publication caused the indignation of religious it was circular, to which was close the ruling party of validity and development, which plans to remove a number of secular limitations - in particular, khidzhabov in the universities and the official establishments forbidding carrying.

The law court above Muazzez Cho many observers examined as checking the adherence of Turkey to the freedom of word, reports agency Euronews.

The Japanese created player with the pepper

Many music lovers simply present to themselves cannot the adoption of food without hearing of the dear compositions. Therefore constantly it is necessary to drag with itself player on the cafe, to bars and to restaurants.

To developers from Japan, most likely, such people very frequently are encountered; therefore it was decided to develop the device, capable of converting meal into the pleasure.

Finally inventors presented community precisely that which personifies Japan as such - very sharp seasoning and technologically effective player "in one bottle", reports 3DNews.

In the height the novelty reaches 6 centimeters, and it is equipped with 128 mb. of memory.

It goes without saying, in this case accent was directed not toward the foremost technical developments, but toward the colorfulness and the originality. Each soon will be able to become the owner of a similar symbiosis of pepper and music of altogether only for 74 dollars.

The connection between depression and osteoporosis is discovered

Depression can lead to the loss of the bone mass, which reaches such values, that this becomes the reason for osteoporosis. At this result arrived the scientists of Jerusalem university under professor raz's management Yirmiyi in their work, published in the last release "it was working the National Academy of Sciences" (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences).

Osteoporosis appears, as a rule, in elderly people. However, besides age it can be caused by some other reasons. For example, several conducted investigations showed that in those, who suffer depression, bone density is noticeably reduced. But for no direct connection between these states established could not be.

In order to find this dependence, scientists conducted experiences on the laboratory mice. Created for experimental animals the special conditions, as a result of action of which were observed the behavioral signs, similar to the depression in people, for example, mice manifested no activity, which could provide pleasure, and did not assume participation in social interactions with each other.

Significant decrease in the bone mass was revealed in four weeks of the maintenance of this state in mice. As a study of their bones showed, reason became worsening in the renovation of bone material - the process, which supports bone density at the healthy level. This was evinced by the decrease of the number of osteoblasts - the cells, which manufacture bone tissue.

As researchers they showed in their work, entire matter in disruption of the work of sympathetic nervous system, "including", as a rule, with the stress reactions. During its making more active is separated the hormone the noradrenaline, which disastrously acts on osteoblasts. This making more active is strengthened with the depression, and the mentioned problems with the structure of the bone appear after a certain time.

In the confirmation the scientists demonstrated, that the treatment by the preparation, the locking action of noradrenaline in the bone tissue, stops her disturbance, proceeding with the depression.

Researchers hope that their work will mark the beginning of development of new medicines for treating the depression. In connection with this company Yissum, which works with the Jerusalem university, studied the patenting of the method of treating osteoporosis with the aid of the antidepressants.

Romanian witches hire English instructors

Thus they hope to replace clientele and to earn extra money a little more den'zhat on the entrance of their country into the composition of the European Union.

White witch and local celebrity Of ioana Of sidoniya, probably will be one of the latter, who begins to take the lessons of English in order to draw to itself the new anglogovoryashchikh clients, when Rumania is joined to the European Union during January 2007.

"my magic force tells me, that connection to THE EUROPEAN UNION will bring prosperity not only of Rumania, but also to me - in the person of a large quantity of anglogovoryashchikh clients. Here they will begin to arrive more than foreigners, and, knowing, English, I to smog soak im., until now, the only words in the English, which I knew, were the names different quality whisky. I think, I should enlarge my lexical reserve ", acknowledges the most popular Rumanian witch.

Italian prison inspires to creativity

Completely not at each demonstration of modes it is possible to see two armed policemen in the edge of podiuma. But when the director of prison and prisoners be present in the audience, the corollary measures of safety are necessary.

Four concluded, who depart period in prison Vercelli, to the east of Milan, created the collection of striped working jackets, Shortt skirts. It was represented in one of the night clubs of Milan.

Two modellers could not visit demonstration because of nature and it was timetable their conclusion. Two others - the recently freed the prison borne of Nigeria and Italian - became the stars of the mode of this evening. Both women reddened, when they asked them, for what crimes they departed period, and they said that they prefer not to speak about this.

Prison test inspired women for the creation of models with the grayish-green strips with the serial numbers printed on them. Demonstration was passed under David boui's song - "we could be the heroes only of one day".

Britons dethroned the sexual myths

In the first comprehensive global study, which is concerned the sexual behavior of people, British scientists established that the loss of virginity occurs not at so already early an age, married people conduct sufficiently active sexual life, and there is no stable communications whatever between the diseases, which are transmitted through sex, and by disorderly sexual connections.

A study is published into the medium by the British medical journal "lancet" within the framework of a series of articles about the sexual and reproductive health.

Professor Kay Vellings and its associates from the department of hygiene and topical medicines of London university analyzed the data, assembled in 59 countries of peace.

Experts say that the data, assembled for this study, will be useful not only for debunking of popular myths about the sexual behavior, but also for molding of the policy, which will help to improve the sexual health of people in entire peace.

Vellings notes that itself was astonished to certain of the obtained results.

Thus, the majority of men and women obtain by their the first sexual experience not in the early, but at the late teenage period - 15-19 years, girls only are earlier than youth.

Most of all with sex deal married people, in this case even in the developing countries increasingly more gathers force the tendency, when people, which live hearth by one roof, do not hurry with the conclusion of marriage.

In this case the predictable increase in the level of premarital sex, in the opinion of experts, compulsorily does not lead to the more risky sexual behavior. In certain cases married women even greater risk, than lonely.

Between the women and the men on the part of the number of sexual partners there is a larger equality in the rich countries, than in the poor. For example, men and women in Australia, Great Britain, France and USA, as a rule, have for the life nearly equal number of sexual partners. On the contrary, in the cameroons, Haiti, and Kenya, men have many partners, while women - only one-two. This instability has vital importance for public health.

"in the countries, where the women depend on their husband- partners, they cannot insist on the use of prezervativov, and, as a rule, it is small, that they know about the treasons of their husbands", notes professor vellings.
