All these pieces are especially proud of the company, because of their implementation took two full years. Players also will be offered a PvP to suit every taste. Fans will be able to take advantage of battles chamber system of selection of matches quickly, but fans are waiting for massive battles sieges of castles. Knowing the bad reputation among Korean game western players, the studio noted that the grind for hours to the next level is not necessary - at least in the initial stages.

The game will be released in 2012. Usually, the eastern game long commute to the western market, but this time the English localization will not take long: the developers have already signed agreements with several Western publishers from USA and Europe. It would be nice if one of them was and the Russian company.

Can Killer Drones Be Turned on America? 50 Countries Are Trying to Get Their Hands on Military Drone Technology -- What Will They Do With It?part 3

Today, former Cold Warriors George Shultz and Henry Kissinger support the eradication of nuclear weapons, because proliferation has shifted the balance of power and the United States is less safe in a world full of these weapons of mass destruction. Judging by the rapid adoption of drone technology, it won't take long before the balance will shift again, and we early adopters will be hoisted by our own petard. The precedent we set today by ignoring international law and taking out whomever we deem guilty will be one day used against us.

So you'd better get ready for a world in which it's not just people "out there" who must suffer from the omnipresent whir in the sky. We thought that we would always be the hand on the joystick. But even in video games, tables turn, and the hunter becomes the hunted. Perhaps a foreign country doesn't like your criticisms of its human rights record. Perhaps another country thinks you're a terrorist. Better watch your head. We will continue to develop technologies to keep ahead of the curve. But drones are a game changer. They herald a democratization of destruction.

And that soon-to-be-developed Clear Skies app won't protect us, any more than the schoolhouse desk protected earlier generations who got down on their hands and knees to escape the fire from above.

Can Killer Drones Be Turned on America? 50 Countries Are Trying to Get Their Hands on Military Drone Technology -- What Will They Do With It?part 2

The London-based Bureau of Investigative Reporting disagrees. It has countedbetween 109 and 279 non-combatants killed by drones since May 2010 and as many as 780 civilians killed overall, including at least 175 children. “My personal meetings with three drone victims - one of whom lost an eye, one who lost two legs and an eye and a third who was killed three days after I met him -- suggest that the U.S. government claim is at the very least, wrong,” Bureau journalist Pratap Chatterjee told me over email. “In my recent trip to Pakistan, I met with some three dozen family members of drone victims and a dozen elders from Waziristan, who reject the U.S. claim that there have been no civilian casualties. It is possible that the U.S. government is misinformed, but it also possible that they are lying.”

The U.S. military is in charge of drone attacks in Afghanistan and elsewhere. The CIA war in Pakistan is in a different category. “The CIA is completely opaque, and no information is available from them even on the existence of the drone war in Pakistan, let alone civilian casualties,” Chatterjee continues. “By contrast, the Pentagon has briefed me and other reporters on how it conducts drone strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq and the legal check-offs necessary before a kill order is issued.”

The drone war in Pakistan is the greatest foreign policy outrage of the Obama administration, and yet it attracts virtually no criticism from Congress. "In Washington, the assumption that drone strikes in Pakistan are necessary to maintain regional security largely goes unchallenged," writes Foreign Policy In Focus contributor Nick Scott in Disaster Times Two in Pakistan. "However, it is not clear that the policy has actually reduced levels of militant violence or that the benefits outweigh the costs in terms of civilian casualties and damage to U.S. prestige in the region."

The drone war is finally making people in high places in Washington uncomfortable. "The U.S. government simply cannot arrogate the right to wage an endless, global war against anyone it deems a threat to national security," writesPaul Miller. "The prospect of such a war should trouble anyone who has the least acquaintance with history or political philosophy." Miller, who was responsible for Afghanistan policy on the National Security council from 2007 to 2009, believes in drones and their efficacy. He's simply concerned that the administration has committed itself to a war without limits — what used to be called the "global war on terrorism," a phrase the Obama administration has retired rhetorically but continued in practice.

Over the summer, the debate over drones inside the Obama administration led to specific policy changes, in part because, as the Wall Street Journal has reported, “Many officials at the Pentagon and State Department privately argued the CIA pays too little attention to the diplomatic costs of air strikes that kill large groups of low-level fighters.” As a result, “The State Department won greater sway in strike decisions; Pakistani leaders got advance notice about more operations; and the CIA agreed to suspend operations when Pakistani officials visit the United States.”

These changes, of course, don’t remove the CIA from the assassination business or establish a definitive end date for the drone war. But the logic of drone technology – and its rapid proliferation – will soon prompt a more radical rethink. After all, the Pentagon wanted the United States to abide by the Geneva Conventions not because of a sudden conversion to human rights advocacy, but because of a fear of what other countries might do to U.S. soldiers. And U.S. officials eventually came to understand the usefulness of arms control not out of a commitment to world peace, but because the Soviet Union had acquired a sizable and quite dangerous arsenal of its own.

Can Killer Drones Be Turned on America? 50 Countries Are Trying to Get Their Hands on Military Drone Technology -- What Will They Do With It?Part 1

Can Killer Drones Be Turned on America? 50 Countries Are Trying to Get Their Hands on Military Drone Technology -- What Will They Do With It?
China, Iran and even non-state actors are buying or developing drone systems.

Someday soon, you'll be checking your new Clear Skies app as a routine part of your preparations to go out for the evening. First, you'll look at your smart gizmo to read your latest email to make sure there hasn't been any change in plans. A quick glance at Facebook lets you see who’ll be joining your group of friends at the bar. Weather and traffic apps inform you of what to wear and what route to take. Twitter will tell you about any major news developments you should be retweeting to your tweeps to prime the conversational pump over drinks.

And your new Clear Skies app will let you know if any unmanned drones are hovering 12 miles up in the stratosphere with your head in their sights.

Sound like science fiction? Isn't drone surveillance and remote kills a problem just for people in the undeveloped regions of the world where life is cheap, collateral damage a daily hazard, and violations of national sovereignty the norm rather than the exception?

No doubt, people in the United States felt the same way about nuclear weapons during that brief period after 1945 when only one country in the world possessed the explosive new technology. Then, on August 29, 1949, the Soviet Union tested its first atomic bomb, and Americans no longer felt quite so confident. Indeed, the United States began to experience a pervasive nuclear dread, with children practicing "duck and cover" in the classroom, parents digging out bomb shelters in the backyard, and the thought of fiery apocalypse never far from the thoughts of a bewildered and terrified populace.

Today, the United States maintains a near monopoly on military drone technology, with only Israel and Britain also deploying these systems. But the landscape is rapidly changing. As David Cortright at the University of Notre Damepoints out, more than 50 countries are developing or buying drone systems, including China and Iran, and even non-state actors want in on the business. The United States is now using drones to patrol borders and collect information about Mexican narcotraffickers. U.S. law enforcement agencies are also eager to use the technology against criminals on U.S. soil, with Texas sheriffs leading the way. Unmanned drones are already used in Japan, Australia, and other countries for such civilian activities as crop dusting and lifeguarding.

Soon, the skies will be very crowded indeed. And the sound of drones that have become part of everyday life in "areas of concern" will someday become part of everyone's life, as ubiquitously intrusive as flat-screen TVs and annoying ringtones. Perhaps these unmanned aerial vehicles will simply pick you out of a crowd so that the police department can hit you up for unpaid parking tickets or your spouse's lawyer can verify adultery and grounds for divorce. But that assumes that drones will be seamlessly integrated into the fabric of legal and social norms, a technology no different from tasers or the Police National Computer.

But what's happening today in Pakistan is beyond the law. It's not even subject to the rules of war. The drone wars that the Obama administration has inherited from the Bush years – and expanded dramatically – are conducted by the CIA. The spy agency doesn't need to abide by the Geneva Conventions or acquire congressional approval for its actions. It doesn't bother with niceties such as national sovereignty. And, in contrast to other agencies that only dabble in falsehood, breaking the law and not telling the truth are integral to the operations of the CIA.

Here’s but one example. Back in June, Obama's top counterterrorism advisor John Brennan announced that drone strikes haven't resulted in any civilian casualties over the past year. “There hasn’t been a single collateral death because of the exceptional proficiency, [the] precision of the capabilities we’ve been able to develop,” he said. That's more than 600 militants killed since May 2010 and not a single noncombatant among them.

The Japanese invented the UFO

Unmanned flying machines that build engineers in many countries, mostly similar to each other. Most often, they are miniature aircraft, sometimes - bite-size helicopters, in rare cases resemble birds or insects.

But it is necessary for developers to move away from patterns, the light appears as something quite unusual.

Engineers from the Japanese Ministry of Defence presented at a specially convened press conference, spherical drone. It is a delicate ball of plastic with a diameter 42 cm. The device is able to take off vertically, move very quickly in the air and fine maneuvers.

Moreover, even after encountering an obstruction, the ball quickly restores the orientation in space and continues to move. Interestingly, when such mobility within the drone is set only one propeller, and the strong "edges" of the ball - turning handlebars, guides the flow of air in the right direction.

Video, available on the network, demonstrates an impressive flight indoors over the heads of journalists. In addition, the flying ball can move along the ground like a tumbleweed, while fixing the surroundings built-in camera and transferring the image to the operator. From the technical details it is reported that the aircraft weight 350 grams, the flight time - 8 minutes, speed - 60 km per hour, and the cost of production - $ 1,400.

Dry technical data, unfortunately, do not look too impressive, as opposed to video with a demonstration flight. The ball resembles a UFO, when laying the steep turns and still hangs in the air. From this prototype can get a good scout, assistant to the rescuers or reportage camera. The staff of our editorial board has once again convinced that the future, drawn science fiction, is almost here.

The most unusual sources of billions of dollars

There are so many different lists of the richest people in the world. As soon as they try to classify them: gender, nationality, profession. Most of the billions of dollars are generated in the investment business, fashion, retail and energy. However, there are other examples. Among the world's richest people, there are some who have created their own empires in not the most popular areas of business activity.

The richest African citizen - "Sugar King" Aliko Dangote, who occupies 51st place in the Forbes list with a fortune of $ 13.8 billion, a small trading firm founded in 1977, became in time a huge conglomerate, became the first major supplier sugar for the domestic producers of soft drinks, beer and sweets, and then the extension of the influence of the cement business not only at home, but in Benin and Ghana. New businesses are based in Zambia, Tanzania, Congo and Ethiopia, and shipping terminals - in Sierra Leone and Liberia.

Malaysian billionaire Lee Shin Cheng, the founder of IOI Group, nicknamed the "caster trees." He began with the release of oil palm, which is widely used in food, cosmetic and metallurgical industries. Now his team is engaged in project development in Malaysia, Indonesia, Europe and the U.S., ranking 208 th place in the list. But once Lee Shin Cheng, the Chinese shopkeeper's son who quit school at age 11, worked and lived on a rubber plantation, and did not take control in the palm plantation company Dunlop Estate. But 20 years later he returned and bought the company, which rejected it. That day Lee believes the happiest in my life.

Chu Lam Yu, president of the Hong Kong company Huabao International, did not receive an inheritance from their parents and other relatives. But in his 38 years in 2008, appeared on the Forbes list at 760th place with a fortune of $ 1.3 billion over ten years, starting with the perfume business and trade in spices, Chu has created a investment empire and now has moved to 409-e among the richest people on earth.

The richest and most famous American lawyer Joe Dzhameyla, occupying 833rd line with revenue of $ 1.5 billion, styled "King of the Civil Code." He is so in demand that the threshold rejects hundreds of cases, no matter how loud they seem. One recent suggestion was to conduct numerous lawsuits against BP, an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. "I'm too busy" - he replied. In 1985 he won the case between the oil companies Pennzoil and Texaco, which became the most expensive suit in history: Texaco had to pay a $ 11 billion, while fee Dzhameyla totaled $ 335 million thanks to him the producers withdrew three dangerous product: rifle, Remington 600, three-wheeled off-road Honda and drug Parlodel. He won more than 200 cases of personal injury compensation from more than $ 1 million each.

A former deputy chairman of the Ukrainian state company "Naftogaz Ukrainy" Oleg Bakhmatyuk now called the "chicken king". If in 2007 he sold his shares in gas companies and has not left the business, the success of which so much depends on the political climate is now unlikely he would have a profitable business. Instead, he focused on the purchased four years earlier in his native Ivano-Frankivsk egg production. Today, in his "egg empire" 19 poultry farms, 6 units for the production of feed, egg processing plant, three units for breeding breeder, 3 and 9 of storage farms in Ukraine.

The Americans managed successfully tested hypersonic weapon

Start was at 1:30 am local time (photo from army.mil).

A prototype high-speed glider, originally overclocked three-stage rocket, after a long free flight in the atmosphere hit the target at the range.

Since it was shown that the use of such devices for precision strikes on remote objects.

November 17, 2011 the U.S. military has successfully tested a prototype "hypersonic weapons advanced» (Advanced Hypersonic Weapon - AHW). The experimental apparatus was launched from the landfill Pacific Missile Range in Hawaii and hit the target at the range Reagan Test Site at Kwajalein Atoll.

These two points are separated by more than 3,700 kilometers and less than an hour flight. Moreover, after separation from the rocket booster AHW not moving along a ballistic trajectory, and slid into the atmosphere at hypersonic.

The purpose of this test - test of aerodynamics, navigation, guidance and control, as well as thermal protection technology - said the U.S. Defense Department.

This experience was a continuation in part of a hypersonic aircraft test successful Falcon HTV-2, conducted in August 2011.

He also clocked a hypersonic missile unit in front of the site of free flight, but early fell into the ocean. The results of the test year helped prepare a new hypersound glider. A follower of HTV-2 came all the way through and ended up exactly to where it was planned.

Both machines are part of related initiatives "rapid global strike" designed to create a non-nuclear weapon that can hit a target anywhere in the world within hours after the start, recalls Gizmag.

Designed to update the format JPEG - JPEGmini

With the new version of the popular JPEG format to compress photos by 50-60% stronger without losing quality

JPEGmini standard developed specifically for the Internet, to enable the user to quickly send and receive pictures. This technology will be used in the online storage of photos, social networks, and indeed in everyday life to save space on storage media. JPEGmini standard is fully compatible with standard JPEG, that is, all users have the ability to browse images in JPEG, can view images and JPEGmini.

Principle of operation JPEGmini is more advanced compression algorithms that allows you to reduce the amount of occupied space images without significant loss of quality. JPEG format is known that under compression, image changes so that these changes are absolutely invisible to the human eye, due to this and there is a reduction in file size. The new standard uses a more modern JPEGmini compression algorithm, and still does not leave traces of themselves, but the file size can be reduced to 60%, which is no small matter.

In May, Google introduced its own format to replace the current JPEG, which is just as much JPEGmini can save space on your hard drive. However, the issue of a new format from Google is that it is a new image format to view the photos in it need to install additional software, and JPEGmini is only an update to the standard JPEG, which means that no one user will not have difficulty viewing the images in the format JPEGmini.

St. Petersburg and its plans to attract tourists

In order to increase the flow of tourists to the Northern capital of Russia, its government plans to release "Map guests of St. Petersburg," a reminder for tourists, as well as organizing the contact center for visitors. However, according to experts, in St. Petersburg will not qualify for a substantial increase in tourist traffic as long as the city does not appear available hotels.

Since St. Petersburg is struggling to attract tourists from other European cities, he has to learn from their experience and already proven technology. One of them is the "Map guests of St. Petersburg." In November 2010 she had already started in text mode, but run it is scheduled until 1 May. According to the operator of the program of "Guest Card", in November-January, has already been sold around 100 cards.
This program is designed similar to used in the major European tourist cities - Barcelona, ​​London, Paris and Venice. Tourist, acquiring such a card, designed for a certain number of days, get free access to theaters, museums, as well as all types of public transport. However, in St. Petersburg, where the card is just beginning its work, it is available for visiting all the museums do not. In particular, it is impossible to visit the State Hermitage Museum. Talks with his management are still far from complete, as well as negotiations with the Committee on Transport of the city government on the inclusion of a map of free travel on the subway and on some routes, public transport are in the historic district.
At this point in the map may be once the Russian museum, St. Isaac's Cathedral, Savior on Spilled Blood, Peter and Paul Fortress and once to make a sightseeing trip on the bus "City Tour". But by the beginning of May to this list will add the museums of Pushkin and Peterhof. The cost of such a guest card for a week left 1.1 thousand rubles. But in high season it is certainly grow and will reach 1850 rubles, as it will go sightseeing tour of the canals and rivers of North Venice.
In addition, to assist tourists Committee for Investments and Strategic Projects of St. Petersburg provides the contact center. According to the plan, contact this center will be on a single number, and get help in your language. Furthermore, the authorities intend to print Petersburg about 2 million copies of "Tourist information", which will be translated into 7 languages. It will contain recommendations for visitors to the city, particularly on account of the migration service, interaction with law enforcement officials, as well as how not to be late to the bridges on the Neva River, and others reported "RBC St. Petersburg."

evolution: both men lost their "masculinity"

In a race of human evolution has bypassed the monkey, "paid" for the increase in brain penisovoy loss of bone. Not a bad replacement, or so-so? Those men who answer "so-so" really have a reason to take offense at the evolution that has been selected bakulyum (penisovuyu bone). And it certainly would be very useful to them, once present in many mammals, in particular, almost all primates, including the closest relatives of human - chimpanzee.
All other members of the sterner sex to inform you that according to research conducted by David Kinglsi and his colleagues at Stanford University (California, USA), loss of bakulyuma, which provides a permanent male "combat readiness" is a realistic price for the opportunity to go far ahead in evolutionary terms from relatives in the image of the primates. Research reports were published today in the journal Nature News.
By the way, the scientists who have made this discovery was not studied comparative anatomy of man and ape. Theme of their study was much broader and deeper - namely, how we differ from apes at the molecular level. They used a unique approach. They are looking for is not what a man can have, and no monkeys, but on the contrary - that they have, and we do not have. As a result, it was found 510 DNA sequences present in the genome of the chimpanzee and man have been lost during evolution. Almost all the detected sequences belong to the so-called non-coding regions of the genome. These areas do not contain information about any protein. However, they can affect the "protein" (coding) DNA band, lying in close proximity. As a result of the influence of protein production from these adjacent areas may inhibit or increase.
Two of the identified regulatory DNA sequences located near the androgen receptor gene and a gene that is responsible for the suppression of tumors. Once the DNA into the genome controls implanted in experimental animals, it was found that the first of a series of controllers stimulates the formation of just the very bones in the penis, as well as the growth of whiskers. But it is not our usual "human" and sensitive "cat" the antennae, called vibrissae.
The second DNA sequence is even more interesting. In short, her loss has enabled man to increase the brain. Because the gene that makes tumors grow, and its regulatory sequences present in monkeys, but suppresses tumor growth and nerve cells in the brain.
Given that examined only 2 of 510 DNA sequences of monkeys, it is difficult to imagine how much more molecular evolution "surprises" we can get.
The international scientific community has appreciated the opening of American Scientists. After all, it was the most obvious confirmation of the hypothesis that evolution - it's not just the accumulation of information, but also periodically to get rid of disturbing, unnecessary data.

Investors: the popularity of the beloved game «WOW» fall?

In the U.S. market is maturing gaming sensation that can lead to some rearrangement in the gaming Olympus, and thus redirect the flow of investment in this area. Thus, the incredibly popular game in recent years «World of Warcraft» in front of fans lose. This fact is confirmed by leading American and European editions of play themes, writes in the "News Russia" magazine "Market Leader".

Recall, «World of Warcraft» - multiplayer online role-playing game, which the developer is holding «Blizzard Entertainment». This version of the game was already fourth in the series «Warcraft», received international recognition (to prove it can serve numerous prestigious awards in the gaming community), quickly became popular in the gaming world. The main difference between this version «Warcraft» from earlier is that this game is not real-time strategy. In it, controlling your character, you can roam the countryside, explore it, fight monsters, perform the task. The player can fight against other players in duels, arenas. If successful, the player's job experience there, things, money. What does such a seemingly unpretentious game captivated gamers?

Multilevel structural imaging (allows to grow at the same time with the game), purpose (gamer defines it for himself), an increase of the last level. All this made the WOW's most popular MMORPG-game in the world with its own virtual laws, markets, financial institutions, foundations. However, in recent years according to official figures this game left more than 1.7 million of 12 million fans, which resulted in lowering the cost of the developer company's stock by 3%. However, despite this, the net profit in the third quarter amounted to 148 million dollars, and its leader is hardly to be doubted.

According to experts of the Academy of forex and stock trading Masterforex-V, speaking of the long-term recommendations, the company's shares Developer «Activision Blizzard» are quite attractive. By the way, many analysts have revised their own forecasts, which may be a consequence of growth in sales and earnings per share. But still, what does the future hold popularly beloved «World of Warcraft»?

Of course, due to the recent departure of a large number of fans "toys" in the 4th quarter of this year and a quarter of the next loss will be significant. In addition, it is worth remembering that on the horizon loomed the potential hits like «Star Wars: The Old Republic», «Guild Wars 2», «The Secret World», «TERA» and others who have come in the next few months. They can undermine leadership WOW.

However, the company «Blizzard» feels competition from peers and is already preparing the release of a new game «Titan», which is scheduled for release end of 2013.

New items from Lancia

Lancia firm has long been considered a kind of "problem assets" automotive group Fiat. That is why Sergio Marchionne, who has a reputation as a great reformer, he decided to seriously address the revival of the brand. He chose the specific methods to revive the once well-known company. Now, Lancia is a kind of a new unit group Chrysler. Therefore, the model American company make up half the entire range of the Italian company.

As a result, in Geneva, presented new Lancia, among which was a five-door compact hatchback Lancia Ypsilon third generation. The machine is designed on the platform of the Fiat 500, which also borrowed from the two-cylinder turbo TwinAir 95 hp and the volume of 0.9 liters. More advanced versions will have a 1.3-liter turbodiesel Multijet 95 hp and 1.2-liter engine produces 69 hp In addition, we plan to develop a model with a 1.2-liter engine (69 hp), which will work in either the gasoline or LPG.
Without exception, all engines will be installed on these modifications fully meet the requirements of Euro 5. In addition, all cars Lancia Ypsilon will be equipped with "start-stop", as well as tires Goodyear EfficientGrip with low rolling resistance.
Compared with its predecessors, which appeared in 2003, the new Lancia Ypsilon increased by 30 mm in length (3.84 m) was 20 mm below (1.51 m) and 30 mm narrower (1.67 m). The vehicle is now even more in line with the concept of "premium". Trim materials, workmanship, and a glass roof allocate Lancia Ypsilon among his rivals.
In addition, the range of three cars filled with Chrysler.
One of them will now be sold under a new name Lancia Thema, which was created in the image of its American counterpart. All that made the Italians - it changed the bumpers and grille, resulting in increased vehicle length of 40 mm. Under its hood, situated perfectly known "Six» Pentastar capacity of 292 hp (353 N • m) and a volume of 3.6 liter, eight-room with the latest "automatic". The Italians claim that a car with this engine drives the first hundred in 7.2 s, consuming 8.3 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers.
Convertible and sedan Chrysler 200 - also known as Lancia Flavia - must be to the soul of European buyers. Its open modification is virtually the only European gig D-class. Therefore, in the absence of competitors, it will feel quite confident. In turn, the sedan will have hard times, as in the European D-class turns serious struggle, so even the origin of the Lancia Flavia is unlikely to be a strong argument for making a decision in his favor.
The only justifiable is the emergence of a minivan models Lancia Grand Voyager, which is perelitsovannym Chrysler Town & Country, which, due to its relative "freshness" for several years will be able to perform successfully in the automotive European market, but already marked by Lancia. Lancia Grand Voyager is planned to equip the "native" 3.6-liter engine capacity of 292 hp, running on gasoline, as well as a 2.8-liter diesel engine producing 163 hp from Fiat.

Formula 1 is going to change again

A meeting of the Board of racing, which were discussed issues concerning the future of the season, as well as prospects for the teams. But has not yet made public what was actually discussed. In addition, they had changed the names of several commands (which we have already reported).

Journalists are beginning to make the first assumption, and so far they seem to be very sad. French commentators have reported that the client cars in Formula One will not be (ie the transfer of already collected the car to the flag of any corporation) that was popular in the 80-90 years. Remain on the calendar and the race for the Grand Prix of the USA, Korea, Bahrain.

The Italians of Autosprint note that the parties discussed but not yet agreed on what should be the co-operation teams. This can make life difficult for some teams such as McLaren and in fact it serves Force India.
Perhaps this is the truth, because on the eve of the Spanish HRT, working with Williams, in a press release separately stressed that developers are not transgress the boundaries of the cooperation agreement.

Powerful women do not have sex

It turns out that shoulder the responsibility for solving all problems at home and at work, sometimes even too hard can damage the sexual life. A similar conclusion was made after some research staff Bloomberg School of public health, based in Baltimore.

If a woman is absolutely not consulted with her husband, then she will be a lack of sex, according to doctors.
They even brought the impressive figures for such expectations. In a hundred times more power women have to wait for attention spouse than the one that complies with equality in relationships.
This is primarily due to the fatigue of his wife and her employment because she has a lot of fuss about the house and do lots of things that can successfully execute a man.

The study conducted by residents of the Black Continent. Their families accepted unwritten rules - or they decide everything by themselves or jointly with their husbands. The logical conclusion was confirmed. Those ladies who prefer to speak the last word, waiting for sex from 3 to 100 times more than their colleagues who communicate and make important decisions with his second half. Also concluded that women who are accustomed to command his family life, will be (perhaps unconsciously) try to take over power in the bedroom. That, naturally, can not be like the man.

Researchers note that the information should be identified to help women in "encircled acute angles" and make their sex life easy and enjoyable.

So if women want sex?

Sharon Stone, the well-known lack of underwear in the movie "Basic Instinct", once said that a steak for her preferred sex. A sex symbol is not alone: ​​the organization of HealthyWomen found that women having sex is not happy. The Daily Mail announced the survey results: of 1,000 respondents give only half convinced of the necessity of sexual intercourse two or three times a week. And only 42% of respondents believe sex necessary for health.

As far as sex for you? The researchers found that the brain is functioning better than those who are actively engaged in love, because sex increases the amount of adrenaline and cortisol, are responsible for your brain. Endorphins and serotonin levels which increased sharply during sexual contact, increase self-esteem, and prolactin reduces the risk of heart problems.

Elizabeth Battaglino, executive director of HealthyWomen stresses that the list of the benefits of sex is endless: the pelvic floor muscles stronger, increases immunity, reduces pain threshold and burned 200 calories during each act. In addition, regular lovemaking bring together partners, which is the main reason for sex in 63% of respondents.

Despite the fact that women having sexual intercourse at least 4 times a week and look years younger at 10, Queens, according to psychiatrist Naomi Greenblatt, often treat sex as a marital debt. In addition, working mothers simply can not find time for it among his duties.

Milan also experts have found that women often take thought chocolate than sex. Scientists have identified a direct correlation between the level of sexual desire and love for chocolate. Noticed another peculiarity: the young ladies with plump lips, the upper of which is shaped like the letter M, 12 times more likely to soar to the summit of bliss.

Open an effective way to treat cancer without chemotherapy

American scientists from the National Cancer Institute have invented a way to kill cancer cells without directional light chemotherapy without damaging healthy cells. The method, called fotoimmunoterapiey already been successfully tested on zhivotnyh.Issledovateli staged experiments with mice, in which clearly demonstrated how cancer can be cured without any side effects of chemotherapy due to a specially created a molecule-killers, activated by light radiation given wavelength.

As explained by the head of the research group Frontomics Maxim Gozo, this work was based on a long line of research, during which posed the big question: what the cancer cells differ from all other, healthy cells in our body? As a result, scientists were able to establish the existence of certain proteins that cancer cells produce an explicit excess. And then, what kind of protein is produced in excess, depending on the type tumor. After that, left to come up with a mechanism that in these proteins can recognize and kill a dangerous cancerous tissue without affecting anything healthy.

According to the scientist, nature has given us such a mechanism: the human immune system is able to synthesize antibodies against foreign proteins, and then analyze and destroy something with which they are associated. However, the problem of cancer cells in that it is their own human cells and produce them our own proteins. Researchers at the National Cancer Institute used the latest advances in molecular engineering to significantly alter the mechanism by creating a streamlined its artificial counterpart.

"By the antibodies that recognize tumor proteins pereproizvodimye and contact them, were attached photosensitive molecules that are able to kill all of his inner circle, until they shine infrared light range of specially selected - describes the experiment, Mr. Goju. - This not only kills cancer cells point, but also has some nice bonuses: The selected light-sensitive molecules are fluorescent properties, and, accordingly, we can observe the whole process of accession of antibodies to tumor cells and destroy them. The second bonus is the high specificity of antibody binding, which virtually eliminates serious harm to healthy cells. Finally, work in the infrared radiation can penetrate deeply into the human body, and the location of the tumor can be non-judgmental. "

Of course, the method has its drawbacks. As a Russian biophysicist, overproduction of cancerous cells specific protein HER2, which bind to the antibody used in the study, is less than half the cases of breast cancer. Search targets in other cases remains a challenge for science to this day. Despite the fact that this method will have higher efficiency and significantly fewer side effects than chemotherapy or radiation therapy, scientists have received excellent results in mice will not soon be able to test it on humans. Small and light-sensitive complexes of specific antibodies may be toxic or found in the human body a number of alternative targets.

Died legendary boxer Joe Frazier

American heavyweight boxer Joe Frazier, who famously inflicted the first defeat of Mohammed Ali, died on Monday night at the 68th year of life

A few weeks ago, doctors diagnosed liver cancer fighter, after which he was placed in hospice.

Oh, these scientists minds - in the end all confused. Who pays more - and take the side of those. Now will have a new slogan, NO alcohol, yes - tobacco.

Sacked adviser to the government of Great Britain, David Nutt, along with a group of colleagues published a study which claims that alcohol causes more damage to society than drugs. Scientists conducted a study of the harm that some form of drug use does to the person who uses it, and his entourage, wrote Guardian. In their view, alcoholism is much more dangerous to society than the mass distribution of heroin and synthetic drugs. During the study, scientists have created a new scale to measure the harm of drugs. They included in their evaluation system nine types of damage that can cause one or another narcotic substance an individual (between death and damage to brain function), and seven types of harm that drugs cause to society. Maximum rate of injury for both scales was estimated at 100. The most dangerous drug of alcohol was found (76 out of 100). Below is housed on a scale of methamphetamine (33 points), cocaine (27 points) and tobacco (26 points). "Our study shows that current legislation does not take into account the real harm that certain types of drugs," - noted British scientists.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the UK reported that the report of the doctors still do not know. "We have not read the report. The government has just completed a consultation on the fight against alcoholism and publish an official statement in the coming months, "- said in a conversation with a reporter Publishing Press Officer British Ministry of Internal Affairs.
