 [h=3]Contraceptive pills driving fall in ovarian cancer deaths[/h] London, Sep 6 (IANS) Widespread use of oral contraceptives has driven the fall in deaths from ovarian cancer worldwide, a major study has found. Deaths from ovarian cancer fell worldwide between 2002 and 2012 and are predicted to continue to decline in the US, European Union (EU) and, though to a smaller degree, in Japan by 2020, said the study published in the journal Annals of Oncology. "The main reason for the favourable trends is the use of oral contraceptives (OCs), particularly, in the USA and countries of the EU where OCs were introduced earlier," the study said.

    [h=3]Alcohol's Toll On The Heart: Bigger, Not Better[/h] Drinking alcohol, even in moderate amounts, may increase the size of the heart's left atrium, a new study finds. The left atrium is one of the two upper chambers of the heart, along with the right atrium. When it is enlarged, a person is at risk for developing a type of irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation, which can, in turn, lead to other problems, including stroke. "Despite the widely held belief by the public that alcohol has a beneficial effect on general heart health, acute alcohol consumption has long been linked to the development of [atrial fibrillation]", the researchers, led by Dr. David McManus, director of the Atrial Fibrillation Treatment Program at UMass Memorial Health

    Hundreds of nuns trained in Kung Fu are biking the Himalayas to oppose human trafficking

    Clad in black sweatpants, red jackets and white helmets, the hundreds of cyclists pedaling the treacherously steep, narrow mountain passes to India from Nepal could be mistaken for a Himalayan version of the Tour de France. This journey is longer and tougher, the prize has no financial value or global recognition and the participants are not professional cyclists but Buddhist nuns from India, Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet. Five hundred nuns from the Buddhist sect known as the Drukpa Order, on Saturday complete a 4,000-km (2,485 mile) bicycle trek from Nepal's Kathmandu to the northern city of Leh in India to raise awareness about human trafficking in the remote region. "When we were doing relief work in Nepal after the earthquakes last year, we heard how girls from poor families were being sold because their parents could not afford to keep them anymore," 22-year-old nun Jigme Konchok Lhamo told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

    [h=3]Incredible discovery of intact female figurine from neolithic era in Turkey[/h] Nine thousand years ago in Turkey, a large settlement called Çatalhöyük thrived for more than a millennium. Full of densely packed mud brick houses covered in paintings and symbolic decorations, its population hovered around 5,000. That made it one of the biggest settlements of its era, somewhere between an outsized village and tiny city. Now, archaeologists excavating there have discovered a rare, intact statuette of a woman buried carefully with a valuable piece of obsidian. Figurines resembling this one, with large breasts, belly, and buttocks, have been found throughout the Anatolian region. But this is one of the only intact examples ever found.

[h=3]Cell Phone Battery Catches Fire Aboard Delta Air Lines Flight To Atlanta[/h] A cell phone battery caused an inflight disruption after catching fire on a Delta Air Lines flight from Norfolk, Va. to Atlanta Friday morning. According to The Virginian-Pilot, the fire started about 15 minutes after flight 2557’s departure. Passenger Kristi Parrotte says she had just fallen asleep when she started to smell smoke and heard someone call out to crew. She says she was seated about two rows behind the fire and was able to see a plume of smoke coming from the seats. "It wasn't a big flaming fire, it was more smoldering smoke," Parrotte told the Pilot. She says there was confusion among the flight attendants as they tried to locate the origin of the smoke.

[h=3]How a high schooler outsmarted T-Mobile to get unlimited free data[/h] I can't remember exactly what I was doing with my spare time as a 17-year-old teenager, but it sure wasn't finding flaws in T-Mobile's system. But I guess that's why I had to actually put up with a data cap. For Jacob Ajit, not so much of a problem . He discovered a flaw in T-Mobile's filters that allowed him to use the network's data, even when he hadn't paid for anything. DON'T MISS: Here’s why complaints about Apple’s iPhone 7 design are ridiculous Ajit discovered that if he put a prepaid SIM with no credit into a phone, he was still able to connect to T-Mobile's portal, where he could potentially buy more data. Then he noticed that his Speedtest app still worked, which meant that T-Mobile was allowing for images (what Speedtest uses to measure download speed) to be downloaded across its network without paying. So, with a little messing around, Ajit worked out that anything in a folder labelled /speedtest was whitelisted by T-Mobile. He tried it out by loading up a music video on his server in a folder marked /speedtest, and sure enough, it worked. To take the test to its logical conclusions, he set up a proxy server using the same rules, which he was able to use to freely browse the internet through T-Mobile's network without ever paying for service. Ajit alerted T-Mobile and disabled the proxy server before writing up his discovery on Medium , so don't expect this to keep working. As Ajit says, it's a "very simple" fix for T-Mobile to patch the hole.

Entanglement in any level is dangerous!





  • Science
    [h=3] Entangled Particles Reveal Even Spookier Action Than Thought [/h]This finding comes from a close look at quantum entanglement, in which two particles that are "entangled" affect each other even when separated by a large distance. Now, researchers have found that even if they were to scrap this theory, allowing entangled particles to communicate with each other faster than the speed of light or even instantaneously, that couldn't explain the odd behavior. "What that tells us is that we have to look a little bit deeper," said study co-author Martin Ringbauer, a doctoral candidate in physics at the University of Queensland in Australia.

[h=3]First child dies by euthanasia in Belgium[/h] Belgium legalized euthanasia in 2002 for those in "constant and unbearable physical or mental suffering that cannot be alleviated." Minors were included in the original proposals but removed from the final legislation in the face of political opposition. In 2014, the bill extended the "right to die" to those under the age of 18. But there were additional strict conditions, including that the child was judged to be able to understand what euthanasia means. Consent of parents or guardians must also be given. "This can only be in cases of serious and incurable diseases, which is the same thing for adults ... but for minors an additional condition is that the death must be expected in the near future,"

[h=3]Astronomers round up the unusual suspects for ‘alien megastructure’ star[/h] That mysterious “alien megastructure” star is still a mystery, but the most plausible explanations appear to be dense patches of interstellar gas or dust that just happened to pass in front of the star. That’s the upshot of analyses conducted by the astronomer who first raised the idea of an extraterrestrial construction project a year ago. In the Astrophysical Journal Letters, Penn State’s Jason Wright and a co-author, Steinn Sigurdsson, run through a wide range of hypotheses for the behavior of a star called KIC 8462852, also known as Boyajian’s Star or Tabby’s Star.

    [h=3]Malaysia Airlines MH370 plunged into ocean in a 'death dive'[/h] Missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 plunged into the ocean in a 'death dive', according to new evidence. Further analysis of the Boeing 777 wing flap, washed ashore in Tanzania, revealed it was not deployed at point of impact, eliminating suggestions the aircraft with 239 passengers on board could have made a controlled landing. Peter Foley, the head of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB), reportedly told Australian Associated Press (AAP): "The rate of descent combined with the position of the flap - if it's found that it is not deployed [which since has] - will almost certainly rule out either a controlled ditch or glide. It confirms previous analysis of the automated flight signals that the doomed aircraft could have dropped from a height of 35,000ft at a speed of up to 20,000ft a minute before crashing into the sea.

Brain Cancer Top Killer in Kids: Are Cellphones a Factor?

Brain cancer is now the leading cause of cancer deaths in children, according to a new study. But some studies and experts suggest brain cancer rates in kids may be, in part, tied to the increasing use of cellphones by children and teens, and the rates of brain cancer may increase - perhaps drastically - when they become adults. "I think that there will be a significant, if not enormous increase in primary brain tumors among young people, but perhaps not until they reach the age of late twenties or even thirties," neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock tells Newsmax Health. Children are especially vulnerable to the damage caused by cellphones since their thinner skulls absorb twice the radiation.
