Study: Stopping global warming only way to save coral reefs

Reducing pollution and curbing overfishing won't prevent the severe bleaching that is killing coral at catastrophic rates, according to a study of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. In the end, researchers say, the only way to save the world's coral from heat-induced bleaching is with a war on global warming. Scientists are quick to note that local protection of reefs can help damaged coral recover from the stress of rising ocean temperatures.

    Doctors say unproven stem cell treatment blinded 3 women

    Three women were left nearly or totally blind by a vision treatment at a stem cell clinic, in what doctors call a dramatic illustration of how risky such clinics can be. The clinic's method hasn't been proven effective or tested for safety in people, said ophthalmologist Dr. Thomas Albini of the University of Miami. "These women had fairly functional vision prior to the procedure ... and were blinded by the next day," Albini said in an interview.

    Man beaten to pulp after offering to pay for attackers’ meal

    A good Samaritan ​who ​offered to lend two men short on cash a couple bucks to cover their meal at a Brooklyn eatery ended up beaten and robbed for trying to help, cops say. The victim was savagely beaten by four men inside a Flatbush fried-chicken joint - and then robbed by a fifth as he lay helpless on the floor, cops say. The 37-year-old victim told police that an argument began when he offered to help pay for the two men’s meal, which they were a few dollars short of paying for, inside Texas Chicken and Burgers in Flatbush on March 1. The two men got angry at the offer and soon grabbed the victim’s cane and began striking him in the head and body with it and their fists, police said. The

Rhymes are simple melodious songs and nursery rhymes are what children listen to and learn from their mothers, at a very tender age.

Many of the words and lyrics found in the popular nursery rhymes have been used as a parody of the royal events and political happenings of that time.

A direct comment or reference to those events would end up in arousing the wrath of the authorities and getting beheaded in public!

So the names and identities have been hidden and those bitter truths have been saved and spread in the form of nursery rhymes-appearing really harmless and sounding sweetly innocent!

47. Mary Mary



Mary Mary quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle shells
And pretty maids all in a row.

The Mary referred to in this rhyme is Mary Tudor, popularly known as Bloody Mary. She was the daughter of King Henry VIII. She was a staunch Catholic who could not stand the sight of Protestants.

“The Garden” in the rhyme refers to the rows of graveyards of the Protestant martyrs of that time! This “garden” graveyard was ever increasing it is size, with the graves of the people who dared to continue to adhere to Protestant faith.

The Silver Bells and Cockleshells were instruments used to torture the martyrs before they were put to death.

The Silver Bell was a thumb screw, by tightening which the thumb of a person could be crushed between two hard surfaces. The Cockleshells are believed to be instruments of torture, which were attached to the genital of the person!

Guillotines were the instruments invented exclusively for mass beheading. They were nicknamed as Maidens and in this rhyme the nick name is further shortened to Maids.

The “pretty maids” were far from pretty, as they were the instruments of mass murder.

Yet who could guess that the gruesome story of Bloody Mary lies concealed in song which talks about garden, silver bells and pretty maids!
