A Disasters KISS…!
Sep 5th
A kiss landed a schoolgirl allergic to nuts in hospital because her boyfriend forgot to tell her he had eaten hazelnuts that morning. Laura Kukic, 14, a resident of Barton-le-Clay in Bedfordshire, is allergic to nuts and went into shock after a small nut fragment got into her system. Her face began to swell and her breathing became difficult, Daily Mail reported. She was given first aid at her school and the staff immediately called an ambulance. Though Laura has fully recovered, she has warned other youngsters with the same condition that a kiss can be dangerous. “Who’d have guessed that a peck on the lips could be so dangerous,” she said.
The incident happened in June after tenth standard student arrived on the school bus with at the Harlington Upper school in Bedfordshire. Her 16-year-old boyfriend was waiting for her on the school stairs. “A few kids were about getting ready for the day and as usual we gave each other a kiss. It was just a friendly hello kiss. Nothing out of the ordinary, nothing passionate just a brief touch of the lips,” she said. Laura was first diagnosed with a severe nut allergy when she was three years old and has to carry a ‘Epipen’ with her wherever she goes. This is used to deliver a shot of adrenaline into the bloodstream, which reverses the allergic reaction by narrowing the blood vessels and opening the airways.
Her allergy means that any contact with nuts can bring on a severe reaction. Her face swells up, her throat tightens and it’s hard for her to breathe as she goes into what is called anaphylactic shock. “I hadn’t noticed anything, but my boyfriend could see that my face was starting to swell, so that my head looked visibly bigger. Then he said ‘Oh, I did have cereal with hazelnuts in, but that was about and hour ago, and I’ve brushed my teeth and had a drink, surely that will be alright? I made sure I brushed my teeth a few times’,” she said. Laura had also taken a sip from his can of coke, which could have been contaminated with slight traces of nuts.
Her boyfriend immediately took her to the school office. A few minutes later, she started to feel the effect. Her throat tightened and she was having trouble breathing. She was injected with her epipen by a school first-aider, to bring the allergy down. The Epipen began to work and she started recovering. Her parents arrived and took her to hospital. “The paramedics who had come to the school had given us a form which said ‘Boyfriend Kissed.’ It felt like I was in a silly over-dramatic soap,” said Laura.
Chinese men to find it tougher to get wives.
Sep 5th
Young Chinese men of marriageable age will soon find it tougher to look for a wife because there will be 24 million more young men than women of marriage age by 2020. The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences ( CASS), a government think tank, has said in a report that the gender imbalance in the country is widening, the People’s Daily reported. The gender ratio in China has been higher than the world average. Census data in 2005 showed that the sex ratio of newborn babies was 120 boys born for every 100 girls. The international average is 103 male births for every 100 female births, Li Bin, director of the National Population and Family Planning Commission, was quoted as saying.
The gender imbalance had already made it difficult for a Chinese bachelor to find a wife. Some single young men in big cities are now seeking marriage partners in rural areas, which has put single men in villages at even more of a disadvantage, because urban bachelors have higher incomes and more stable jobs, the report said. “I have neither a high income nor a spacious apartment in Beijing; so none of my female colleagues wanted to marry me,” Kong, 29, from Chaoyang district of Beijing, told the Global Times.
Meanwhile, Guan Qingbin, 25, a migrant worker in Fengtai district of Beijing, said he did not think he could find a wife in Beijing. “In order to earn more money, I had to take two jobs, one during the day as a car repair technician and the other one at night as a driver for a private entrepreneur,” Guang said. “Even though I work this hard, I can only earn 3,000 yuan ($443) each month, which is inadequate to support the life of a family in Beijing.” “China’s highly imbalanced sex ratio at birth has lasted for more than 20 years and the cumulative effects have already emerged,” said Yuan Xin, a professor at the Institute of Population and Development in Nankai University. The balanced sex ratio is the law of natural evolution, but the imbalanced sex ratio in China has already become a major “obstinate disease” of society, he said.
US theaters seats get bigger to meet bigger sized population
Sep 5th
Seats in US theaters have gotten bigger during the last century to accommodate the expanding size of the members of the audience. A new report by Theatre Projects Consultants, a company that helps to design theaters, showed that from 1900 to 1990, the width of seats increased from 19 to 21 inches (48 to 53 centimeters). In the last 20 years seat size has expanded an inch. Leg room has increased and space between rows has also grown. “People have certainly gotten taller and wider over the years so many people find they are just not comfortable in the seats that would have worked 30 or more years ago,” said John Coyne, an author of the report and a US director of the company. Bigger seats have meant higher costs for theaters and their patrons because modern auditoriums can hold only half the number of people as a similar size auditorium built in early 1900, according to the report.
Since 1990, the size and cost of auditoriums have grown almost 30 percent. Theatre Projects Consultants, which has helped design more than 1,200 theaters in 70 countries, used data from the company’s US clients for the report and looked at both new facilities and renovations. Between 1960 and 2000 the average weight of an adult American has increased more than 24 pounds (11 kilos), or 15 percent, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For audience comfort and to keep pace with cinemas and sports stadiums which offer other amenities as well as wide seats, theaters have had to adapt.
But Coyne said a balance is needed to provide comfort for audiences and to keep them engaged in the productions they are viewing. “Theater is about communication between the performer and the audience,” said Coyne, adding that it is important for actors to the close to the audience. But Broadway theaters in New York seem to be an exception, he added, because people will sacrifice some comfort for a hot ticket. Although larger seats are mainly a US trend, Coyne said the company is seeing similar issues in theaters and auditoriums overseas. “We think it is less about accommodating larger sizes and expectations but rather following trends in the US,” he explained.
Man eats his grandmother alive…!
Sep 5th
In a gory incident, a 26- year-old Ukrainian computer programmer allegedly mutilated his own grandmother and fed on her body parts while she was still alive, police said. Sergei Zhmaryov was arrested for allegedly slashing his 60-year-old grandmother’s eyes with shards of broken glass and then eating them while she was still conscious; and, when she screamed for help, he sliced off her tongue and ate it as well, the ‘Daily Mail’ reported. He is also said to have cut off her lips and ears during the assault on her grandmother who had raised him as a child after his parents split. Mrs Zhmaryov eventually died from her devastating wounds.
Police in Simferopol, Ukraine, pumped gas into the flat to subdue then arrest the alleged killer. “We can only confirm that a 26-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder. I can add that this murder was committed with particular cruelty. We cannot disclose further details in the interests of the investigation,” local police chief Olga Kondrashova was quoted as saying.
Known to neighbours as a religious fanatic, Zhmaryov dressed only in his underpants, holding a cross, chanting prayers and is believed to have conducted a “funeral service” for his grandmother. Zhmaryov admitted to smoking cannabis before the alleged attack, which police say was a “ritualistic killing”. He is expected to face murder charges and if found guilty, he could be jailed for up to 20 years.
Unimportant is most Important..!
Sep 3rd
My passion, hobby, every nerve of me leads to decorating home. I spend my time at home during holidays in decorating it; I believe the quote which says “East or West home is the Best” that’s why I do lot of changes in the way my home looks from the entrance till the exit. I am a true devotee of god, whom I believe as the supernatural power he says in the holy book that “A clean home is compared with heaven. At the start I changed the interior looks like painting, contemporary furniture, lights and show case at hall because it is a place where the guest will sit and make note about house. The next target were bed rooms which I cleaned and used a pure white spreadsheet to cover the bed, shifted the dazzling lights with dull and a perfect one for the night time. Likewise I have decorated gardens, pool and dining area but never really had a thought about bathroom. Once in a splendid Sunday I went to bathroom straight from my bed and saw the bathroom furniture damaged when I came out I was smiling with the thought “how I forgot this important aspect of home”. I had it replaced with a new one from then on my interest in decorating bathrooms arose.
Begger earns more than tax payers – 27,000 pounds a year
Sep 3rd
A Brit scrounger, already collecting benefits, has been fined for raking in another 23,000 pounds a year as a beggar. Scruffy Daniel Terry sat in shop doorways on a sleeping bag to convince sympathetic passers-by he was homeless. But the former estate agent pocketed up to 50 pounds a day and about 100 pounds a day on weekends. Terry’s scam was exposed two weeks after The Sun urged readers to shop fiddlers in an attempt to scroungers welfare. The 31-year-old was begging on the streets of Lincoln for about a year until he was cracked down. With his 4,000 pounds a year benefits, he was making 27,000 pounds tax-free while hard-working Brits average only 25,000 pounds before tax. “Charlatans like this leave us all worse off,” the Sun quoted a TaxPayers Alliance spokesman as saying. Terry, who has 22 convictions for minor dishonesty, admitted to begging. He was also fined 100 pounds with 40-pound costs.
Worst is Best…!
Sep 3rd
Writing is an art; it is not easy to suddenly turn your thoughts in writing books. Everyone in this world has some specific talent; no one can judge other person just from the outlook or personality. In which writing is more specific and requires a lot of imagination skills with guts to accept the critics from the public. Whenever I hear about a successful author I read their coursework, which tells the true struggle of their life. An individual person may say unwanted, unknown things about an author; a good writer should dispatch all those things and concentrate on his good work. I remember my school days when I was too lazy to do any work but too dazzling to play sport, workout at gym and hang out with friends for party. I went to school on fresh Monday morning, actually I was late! So I rushed into the class room. At the start I cannot figure out the atmosphere, I asked myself what the hell is happening out here. My professor read out my name I was afraid but he told me the name for my assignment, obviously which I hate the most not only me but most of the lazy students feels the same.
Then I had the holiday wild trip in which I learnt about different types of animals, their behavior, attacking style and breeding period, how they give birth to new ones. At that instance I had no thought about my assignment I just enjoyed my off time. As I came back I went to my friends home to share the pictures I snapped during my visit, I saw him typing something in his computer I asked what is it? He replied saying the shocking word “assignment”. The hell came out of me when I heard it because he was doing the finishing modifications whereas I did not even started it, roamed here and there for a moment. My mind soothed me by giving me idea of getting the course work from my seniors, I had most of seniors turned friends at parties, I asked one to help get out of this trouble he made some arrangement through his friend who did the same task. The next day I submitted the report and escaped, but my heart was feeling guilty and dissatisfied I wanted to turn my worst into best so I started reading many books, essays uk, articles, novels, science fiction stories all of which was my inspiration to what I am now.
3 yrs of house arrest due to body over weight
Sep 3rd
A 603-pound (274-kilogram) woman believed to be the heaviest in Thailand left her apartment for the first time in three years on Thursday with the help of Bangkok city hall and a forklift. Neighbours of 40-year-old Umnuayporn Tongprapai contacted the Bangkok Metropolitan Authority when they learned she needed medical attention to remove a tumour in her right leg. Bangkok’s media-savvy governor Sukhumbhand Paribatra summoned camera crews to document the event, which involved engineers, demolition crews, rescue workers, doctors and nurses. Seated on the floor of her modest third-floor apartment on the outskirts of Bangkok, Umnuayporn told reporters she could only walk a few feet (meters) on her own and was confined to her studio apartment where she ran a laundry service with the help of her two adopted sons.
“I’ve been living in this room and have not gone outside for three years,” said Umnuayporn, whose weight is roughly the equivalent of a grand piano. “I can walk a little, just enough that I can go to bathroom. But I have to cling to my son the whole way.” Umnuayporn walked slowly to a trolley aided by her son. She was rolled down the corridor to a nearby empty apartment where workers had torn down an inner wall to allow her entry and demolished a section of the building’s facade to take her outside. As neighbors cheered on the pavement, Umnuayporn smiled and flashed a “V” for victory as she was lowered from the apartment by an elevator constructed outside. A forklift then transferred her to a waiting ambulance that took her to a Bangkok hospital.
“It’s very likely that she is the heaviest person in the country,” said Pijaya Nagavachara, director of the BMA General Hospital, which weighed her once she was admitted. Her treatment will involve removing the tumor and reducing her weight, which doctors suspect may be due to thyroid problems, Pijaya said. Once her medical treatment is finished, Umnuayporn says her dream is to go to the beach. “I want to go to the sea,” she said, with tears in her eyes. “I want to play in the water.”

Growing plant inside a man’s lungs…!
Sep 3rd
A man, who the doctors suspected to be suffering from a cancerous tumor, is found to have a pea sprouting inside his windpipe. “My blood pressure was very low. My oxygen count was very low. I was dehydrated, my left lung collapsed, and I had pneumonia,” 75-yr-old Ron Sveden from Brewster told the Herald. After an X-ray showed a spot on Sveden’s windpipe, Cape Cod Hospital doctors thought the retired teacher was suffering from a cancerous tumor. “Prior to Memorial Day I was going down hill,” Sveden said. “My appetite went away and I was coughing a lot. I just had this listless feeling where I just wanted to lie down. I had no ambition to do anything.” After samples were tested, doctors told Sveden that the spot was not cancer but a plant sprouting inside him. It seems Sveden had been eating peas, one went down the wrong pipe, then grew to an inch-and-a-half in his lung, collapsing it. Through surgery they removed the plant and Sveden’s health improved. “Thankfully it’s all over,” he said. With a good sense of humor and new outlook of life he deals with friends and family affectionately calling him “pea brain” showering him with cans of peas and bags of seeds.
