Would you like a drink?

If you would just stretch your feet and help yourself!

That's what you could really say to this young indian man if you had to invite him at your party!

He has been named the "rubber man" because of the very high flexibility of his body firstly noticed while training for martial art in India.

And now he aims to fill the Guinness Book of World Records.

To learn more about the real-life flexible friend: India's very own 'Rubber Man' makes the Guinness Book of World Records
By Daily Mail Reporter on 28th February 2010

Vijay Sharma can wrap his legs over his head, wriggle through a tennis racket and wind his arms around his back.
His flexibility has earned him the title of 'Rubber Man' in the Limca book of Records, India's version of the Guinness book of World Records, and he hopes to one-day achieve global fame.
'It was when I was training for martial arts I realised my body was so bendable I might be capable of setting a world record in flexibility,' the 27-year-old said.

Write caption hereThe village boy from Rajashtan's Jhunjhunu district started taking martial arts lessons in 1999 in a bid to learn Chan's acrobatic fighting style
ts became a source of motivation for me.' Shop assistant Vijay claims his bendy obsession stems from watching Jackie Chan movies when he was a youngster.
The village boy from Rajashtan's Jhunjhunu district started taking martial arts lessons in 1999 in a bid to learn Chan's acrobatic fighting style.
It was during these lessons he discovered the extent of his flexibility and started experimenting.
He squeezed into tiny spaces, curled his body into boxes and attempted to drink from bottles held between his toes.
After seeing the tennis racket stunt in Guinness book of world records, he became curious and bought a tennis racket the next day. He quickly removed the strings and tried to pass through the nine-and-a-half-inch surface.
'I tried to get through it, but got stuck for the entire night,' he said. 'I had to shut myself in my room and sleep with it. I got up at 3 o clock and tried to get out of it.
'I began to bleed but that didn't stop me.' Vijay, who practices up to four hours a day to improve his elasticity, has performed on TV Shows and various tournaments at national level. But he believes, he has performed the toughest stunt on a Zee TV show.

Least interested in his father's clothes shop business, Vijay wants to achieve fame by working on martial arts and body flexibility
'I added a kick to my stunt, that is I pulled my leg up all the way so it was perpendicular to the floor and pushed my torso along with my leg out of the racket,' he explained.
'It was such a stunt that I couldn't breathe for a moment while doing it.' He has won a silver medal in body flexibility at a country level tournament, held at Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh in 2001. He also claims to have broken the world record for wrist-egg-crushing - which involves pushing your hand backwards to lie flat against the arm - set by a Lissa Patterson (CORR) in 2005.
'I made the claim and even got some documents from Guinness Book of World Records to complete, but I couldn't get back because of constraints of time and money,' he said.

A regretful man

Though an old one, I think a man can choose to to do what he likes of his life; even deciding to become a woman.

But what does it happen if a man, after many gender reassignement operation to become a woman, decides to revert to his life as a man?

That's what really happened to Charles Kane, DM on line reports.

Of course Nature does make some confusion, sometimes.

But let me say one thing then: we can make much more confusion in our brain.

So let's stay things as they are, specially if there are our kids involved.

To know more by Helen Wheathers on Daily Mail On Line:

"British-based businessman Charles Kane has spoken publicly of how ultimately he found a woman's life boring, tired of fashion, hated the female hormonal fluctuations, and missed being taken seriously by men.
'There are some regretters, but I have spoken to other people who are very happy having made the transition,' says Jane,'I don't know if I will miss what is perceived as male privilege. I know that writing as John Ozimek I will receive 40,000 hits on the internet, while as Jane Fae I have received around two.'
For now, though, Jane feels liberated. The newness of being able to browse a make-up counter, buy a nice dress and wear pretty shoes is exciting. She is planning on growing her hair into a bob, and might even go blonde.
And Andrea will be by her side, advising her on how to look and act as a woman.
'I can see strangers looking at her, moving their eyes up and down the body,' says Andrea. 'They see the women's clothes and the elegant walk and then they see the head and the two don't go together at the moment, but they will.'
Jane has yet to take all John's men's clothes to the charity shop - ' just in case' - but she thinks she will start getting rid of them soon. Andrea wants to keep a couple of her favourite shirts. The ones she liked to see John wearing.
No, this is not proving to be at all easy for either of them. Can there be a happy ending?
Last week, after seven years of waiting, Andrea finally received her marriage proposal. From Jane, not John. She accepted. They will both now wear dresses, with Jane joking that she wants the bigger 'meringue', before conceding that a slim, column gown would suit her better.
It is not what Andrea envisaged for herself when she first met John Ozimek, but she loves Jane Fae now. In her eyes, they remain one and the same."

Thanks Mr Obama

Thank you Mr Obama for receiving the Dalai Lama at The White House (though at a low profile, as papers say).

I'm not talking for political reasons. I know reasons are never all at on side only.

Nevertheless I can't help observing the U.S.A., also in this event, have given an example of democracy.

Nobody is perfect in the world but we have to be able to distinguish(and sometimes choose) between good and evil; between freedom and oppression; between democracy and dictatorship.

Every people in the world have the right to self governement, basically according to their own culture, traditions and beliefs.

The Dalai Lama and U.S president Barack Obama met for the first time at the White House today, defying furious protests from China.
The two Nobel Peace Prize winners seemed intent on keeping the meeting low-key, in order avoid worsening tensions between the two countries.
The Tibetan spiritual leader, who was also denied a meeting in the Oval office, left via a side entrance where rubbish bags were piled up and The White House didn't release photos of the meeting until several hours afterwards.

Men of peace meet: The Dalai Lama and Barack Obama during their meeting at The White House
Wearing sandals and burgundy robes, he said he had expressed to Mr Obama his admiration for the U.S. as a 'champion of democracy, freedom, human values'.
The Dalai Lama also pictured touching snow heaps shovelled to the side of White House paths following recent blizzards in Washington.

Not-so-grand exit: The Dalai Lama leaves the White House via an exit where rubbish bags are kept on the ground following his meeting with Barack Obama
China, which is increasingly at odds with the U.S. over currency exchanges, Taiwan arms sales and internet censorship, said the meeting would further damage ties.
But, by going ahead, Mr Obama may be trying to show his resolve against increasingly assertive Chinese leaders after facing criticism for being too soft on them during his trip to China in November.
Earlier, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said dismissively of the visit: ‘Chinese officials have known about this and their reaction is their reaction.’

His meeting with Mr Obama was delibately low profile because of China's outrage
Although admired by millions around the world as a man of peace, the Dalai Lama is accused by Beijing of being a dangerous separatist who foments unrest in Tibet.
The White House insisted America and China - the world’s largest and third-biggest economies respectively - have a ‘mature relationship’ capable of withstanding disagreements.
But mindful of Chinese sensitivities, the White House sought to strike a balance in the Dalai Lama’s visit.

The Dalai Lama said he admired America's stance on freedom
The President is also currently attempting to secure China's help in settling North Korean and Iranian nuclear standoffs.
So, seeking to avoid alienating Beijing, Mr Obama had delayed meeting the Dalai Lama until after first seeing Chinese leaders during his Asia trip last year.


During today’s visit, Mr Obama - like his White House predecessors - denied the Dalai Lama the symbolism of meeting in the Oval Office.
Instead, they met in the lesser-known Map Room. Such distinctions signalled to China that the Tibetan monk was not being received as a political leader.
The Dalai Lama entered the White House out of sight of journalists, and the talks were closed to media coverage.
The White House planned to release a photograph later.
But honouring the Dalai Lama could still help Obama burnish his administration’s credentials among human rights activists.
They accuse him of focusing on global issues with Beijing at the expense of promoting Chinese democratic reforms.
Ahead of the talks, Tibetans living near the Dalai Lama’s birthplace welcomed the White House meeting with a defiant show of fireworks.
The midnight display along a valley dotted with Tibetan Buddhist monasteries was a reminder that the Dalai Lama remains a potent figure in his homeland. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1251888/Dalai-Lama-meet-Barack-Obama-U-S-defies-protests-China.html#ixzz0eddaTmcn

The Poem of Creation - Second Part

Continues from Monday, February the 8th 2010 - God, after creating all the animals, does want to make the man in His image and likeness!

The World’s Creation
II
“Fly off all birds”- said God- “freely in the air
And splash about in to sea any fish;
Graze lambs, calves and livestock everywhere
In grassy lawns that will never languish;
Grow up any reptiles fair and unfair,
living beings either monstrous or polish!”
After the earth had all animals found
God said to them to multiply around.


And finally He said: - “ Let’s make now man
In our image and likeness, every
And each animal to lead on command!”
After doing that He rested quietly.
Henceforward, after six days, on the land
man, on the seventh, stays steady Godly,
being it consecrated for prairie and rest,
Both the last hours and also the first!


But the Creation was not yet complete
Still being missed the breath of the Animator
Who can transform into a giant a bit!
Waters from earth going up by Creator
To mist all over the ground were admit
So could mould the man God the Great Factor
and by that divine blow the man was made
but nevertheless, he still lonely stayed.

Mind the jab!

It seems the time has come for men to do their part in the contrapcetive matters.

After testing 80 couples in Edinburgh Dr Richard Anderson says the male pill will be soon ready under the form of two injections every two months.

See the link for more

British couples are taking part in trials of a male contraceptive jab said to be as effective as the Pill.
Doctors believe it will liberate women from the burden of family planning by letting partners share responsibility.
Professor Richard Anderson, who is heading one of two year-long trials, said: ‘A lot of women may think it’s time men took their turn.’
The news will also be welcomed by women worried about the Pill’s links to breast cancer and fatal blood clots.

The drawback is that it depends on men making regular trips to their GP - and women trusting them to do so. Studies have shown that many men would also welcome a male jab or pill, while increasing the types of contraception available could help cut unplanned pregnancies.
But the shift in responsibility also raises the possibility of pregnant women trying to sue their former partners.
Sixty couples in Manchester and 20 in Edinburgh are taking part in the trials, part of intensive global research.

The contraceptive, given in two injections every two months, tricks the brain into shutting off sperm production.
It contains the male sex hormone testosterone and a man-made version of the female sex hormone progesterone and when the brain senses them, it reduces the levels of other hormones which control sperm production and maturation.
Doctors say it is effective in 99 per cent of cases and sperm counts should rapidly return to normal once the injections are stopped.

The jab is one of several male contraceptives being developed by drug companies eager for a share of the £20billion-plus spent globally each year on the female Pill.
Professor Anderson, of the University of Edinburgh, believes the jab will prove popular with both sexes.

I'll smile only if you wake up, grandad!

Must be right when they say that grandchildren rejuvenate men's lives.

What happened to David Russel, from Didmarton, Gloucetershire goes much more far than the commonsense believes.

He woke up from a coma as his wife whispered in his ear that grandchild Edie was born.

Read more of this on DM On LineBy Luke Salkeld

"Some things are worth waking up for.
And after two weeks in a coma David Russell finally opened his eyes - after his wife told him he had just become a grandfather.
Doctors had previously warned Helen Russell that the prognosis for her 60-year-old husband was not good.
But on hearing the news of the latest addition to the family, the farmer is making a full recovery.

Against the odds: Farmer David Russell with wife Helen and a photograph of new granddaughter Edie. Doctors thought he would wake brain damaged
Mr Russell was left fighting for his life after he fell 12ft onto concrete while replacing guttering on a barn roof.
He then underwent a five-hour operation to remove a blood clot from his brain before lapsing into the coma.
His 57-year-old wife was warned he would probably wake up with serious brain damage, but after their first grandchild Edie was born two weeks later she whispered in his ear: 'Come on granddad you have got to wake up now.'
Mrs Russell says that on hearing the news her husband stirred from his coma and gave her a wink.
She said yesterday: 'The doctors didn't even think that he would survive the operation, which was absolutely horrific news to be given.

'He did survive but when he failed to come out of an induced coma they said the best case scenario was that he would be brain damaged and severely impaired.
'But then Edie was born and I went into the hospital and said: 'Come on granddad you have got to wake up now - you have got to do that'.
'Soon after that he started to come out of the coma and opened his eyes and winked at me.
'He came round when I told him we were grandparents for the first time.'
She added: 'He's incredibly proud and thrilled to be a grandfather.
'The whole family was elated. Words don't even begin to describe how devastated we were after the accident.'
Mr Russell, a father-of-three was at his farm in Didmarton, Gloucetershire, when he fell head-first onto a concrete floor in December.
He was airlifted to Frenchay Hospital in Bristol where specialist surgeons operated for five hours to remove a blood clot from his brain and then put him in a coma from which he couldn't be woken.
It was only when his granddaughter Edie was born to son Edward, 30, and his wife Ellie that he finally came round after 15 days.
Mr Russell, who is now expected to make a full recovery, said: 'The doctors told my wife that there was a risk that although I was going to survive I may be severely brain damaged.
'The next day Helen told me that we had become grandparents and I apparently opened my eyes and blinked and winked, but I don't remember it.'
Mr Russell was well enough to see his granddaughter three weeks later while he was undergoing rehabilitation at Gloucester Royal Hospital.
He said: 'It was just fantastic to meet Edie and I have got her to thank for saving my life. When she is older I will tell her that she helped bring me out of a coma.
'My concern now is just on getting better." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1250223/Farmer-wakes-coma-wife-whispers-ear-grandfather.html#ixzz0fIiN0gIL

Banzai!

The cry is not an echo resounding in traditional Japanese meetings; not even a shout echoing from some second world war's battlefields!

It's simply the self defending howl of a desperate man trying to save himself and his family from cruel threats of thugs home intruders, in East Yorkshire- England.

Read the whole story on Daily Mail On Line by Chris Brooke

Last updated at 9:03 PM on 10th February 2010

"A father who defended his family from drug-crazed thugs by wounding one with a Samurai sword has been cleared by a jury.
David Fullard, 47, was prosecuted for attacking the two strangers who forced their way into his home and threatened to rape his partner and kill his two teenage children.
He insisted he was a desperate man acting legally in self-defence and struck out once with the ornamental sword, because it was the only weapon to hand.

David Fullard, seen here at an earlier hearing with his partner Susan Neal, was prosecuted for attacking the strangers who forced their way into his home
The blow almost sliced off the ear of Michael Severs, one of the thugs.
The prosecution refused to accept that his actions amounted to lawful self-defence and argued it was 'over the top' to attack a man armed with a knuckleduster by using a 'battlefield weapon'.
The two thugs were both high on a cocktail of drink and drugs at the time, the court heard.
But after a five-day trial at Hull Crown Court, Mr Fullard, a builder, broke down in tears as he was found not guilty of unlawful wounding.
It ended a nine-month ordeal for a man described by neighbours as 'honest and caring'. He had faced the threat of a long prison term.
The case represents another landmark in the debate over how far a householder should be allowed to go in defending his home from an intruder.
Yesterday jobless Severs, 22, and Michael Smith, 19, escaped with a suspended prison sentence and 100 hours of community work after admitting affray at the court.


'Slap on the wrists': Jobless thugs Michael Smith (left) and Michael Severs (whose ear was almost severed) received suspended prison sentences
Judge Michael Mettyear then lifted a reporting restriction on the case.
Outside court Mr Fullard criticised the judge for allowing the men to get away with a 'slap on the wrists'.
He added: 'You cannot stand around and do nothing when someone-comes to your house and starts threatening your family.'
Mr Fullard has been supported throughout by partner Susan Neal, 53, and his sons Danny, 14, and Tom, 17, who were in the house during the incident in March last year.
He added: 'I only struck one blow with the sword. If there had been a walking stick or umbrella by the door I would have hit him with that.'
'You cannot stand around and do nothing when someone comes to your house and starts threatening your family'
The court heard Severs and Smith, who both have previous convictions for violence, vaguely knew Mr Fullard's elder son and knocked on the door of the family home in Brough, East Yorkshire, claiming he owed them £5 from earlier in the day.
It was a ruse to get cash but Smith barged into the living room while Mr Fullard was upstairs and threatened Miss Neal. She told the jury he picked up the ornamental sword and said: 'Do you want some of this?'
She said: 'They threatened to rape me, burn the house down, kill the kids and kill Dave.'

The house where the incident took place. The case represents another landmark in the debate over how far a householder should be allowed to go in defending his home from an intruder
Smith then ran out and Mr Fullard was confronted by Severs in the garden. The thug was armed with a spade and a knuckle-duster.
Mr Fullard told the jury he picked up the sword and 'hit him once' and intended for the 'flat of the sword' rather than the blade to connect. He then called police.
Mr Fullard was arrested and only later did police arrest Smith and Severs, who had his ear re-attached in hospital." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1249958/Cleared-Builder-chopped-thugs-ear-Samurai-sword-threatened-rape-kill-family.html#ixzz0fCxgoYux

Umami Pizza, Please

If you got enough with the usual tastes or you feel fed up with Napoli, Margherita and Mushrooms flavours, just ask for Umami Fifth Sense when you call up the boy for a pizza!

A Japanese new taste, called the fifth sense, to indicate that is not sweet, nor bitter,sour and salty, will be soon offered in different northern English supermarkets at the price of £ 2.99 for a single paste tube.

Have a nice meal then with Umami taste!

To know more read the Daily Mail On LineBy Neil Millard

Many an amateur chef has tasted a dish only to declare that something is missing.
What follows is the inevitable excursion through the larder looking for that magic ingredient.
But the days of this culinary lottery appear to be numbered as a substance first known only to science - bottled 'deliciousness' - is coming to the High Street.
Umami was discovered 102 years ago by a Japanese scientist but until now has only graced the shelves of Michelin-starred restaurants.
It is the secret to making anything taste fantastic, so much so it is known as the 'fifth taste'.
And pretty soon you will be able to add it to absolute everything as tubes of the wonder stuff go on sale in 197 branches of Waitrose for £2.99 a tube.
Named Taste No 5, evoking the added allure of a high-class perfume, it triggers the sensation of delight in the brain when at least one of the primary tastes of sweet, sour, bitter and salty is also present.
Food writer Laura Santtini, who developed the purée, said: 'I wanted to get away from the notion that umami is something of interest to scientists that no one else can really understand.
'The truth is that umami should be of interest to anyone who has a tongue.
'Umami is part of our everyday eating lives, it is just that many of us don't know what to call it. It is what gives depth of flavour to food.
Umami - the fifth sense of taste
Umami is the Japanese word for the fifth basic sense of taste, after bitter, salty, sour and sweet.
Despite being known in the East for more than 100 years, particularly Japan, it is a relatively new concept to the West where only the four primary tastes are recognised.
Umami means deliciousness in Japanese, but translates best as 'savouriness' and provides the 'meaty' flavour in meat.
It is formed from glutamates being detected by receptors on the tongue and is the reason why monosodium glutamate (MSG) is used as a flavour enhancer.
It is also found naturally in meats, cheeses and mushrooms.
'Every food culture has its umami-rich ingredients, whether it is seaweed in Japan or Parmesan in Italy.'
The ingredients in her recipe for umami, literally meaning 'taste', include pulped anchovy and porcini mushrooms.
The umami revolution began in 1908 when Tokyo chemist Kikunae Ikeda identified it as a flavour present in foods high in glutamate.
He had first been alerted by the distinctive taste of seaweed, or kombu, which itself is high in the chemical.
His work led him to crystallise monosodium glutamate (MSG), the controversial flavour enhancer which has since become famous all over the world.
Then in 2000 researchers at the University of Miami discovered the tongue had taste receptors dedicated to sensing glutamate, which signals the presence of proteins in food that the body needs.
The opportunities presented by umami have since been exploited by the restaurant world and celebrity chefs including Heston Blumenthal who purposefully plates up dishes brimming with umami at his Fat Duck restaurant in Bray, Berkshire.


Buna Shimeji mushrooms and steak are high in umami


The fifth taste is also present in seaweed and Parmesan cheese
Far from being a Japanese phenomenon there are examples of foods high in umami in every culture.
Worcestershire Sauce and Marmite are two British standard bearers. Human breast milk is also high in umami.
Taste No 5 will be stocked in 197 branches of Waitrose from next week and will go on sale at the Booths supermarket chain in northern England next month.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1249571/Umami-Tubes-Taste-No-5-set-revolutionise-cooking-fifth-taste.html#ixzz0f723MUHa

The Poem of Creation

Prologue

I sing the God Almighty’s Creation

Wherein were firstborn Adam and Eve

former seed of any human Nation

at the time they could only conceive

the joyfulness with no desperation

In the Eden still far to misgive

The outcome of the serpent deceiver

Who led the man to be God’s defier!

I also sing about the valiant braves,

descending straight from the elected race,

who such in courageous and daring ways

Isr’eli people to holy surface

They led of Palestine. Betray’ls, hates, loves,

I don't omit, on fortune and disgrace:

those between God and men, tribes and kingdoms ;

and laws, wars, exiles I sing in my songs.

Arduous so much however it ‘s my part,

long and full of traps my composition,

That plenty of fear I feel into my heart,

if I dare to see myself on action,

and tremble with my head before I start

The Old and the New Holy Narration!

My Fairy God, Firmament’s Creator

Please make me such an able narrator!

From Genesis’ to Apocalypse’s book

please drive my hand between rhymes and accents

to enable it jointly with mind, to hook

the most significant , deep sentiments

in order they can take a fairly look

of those seventy three, pious components!

If someone goes to Source for sweeter tasting

surely all my efforts I won’t be wasting!

The World’s Creation I

At the beginning God created the sky

And the earth, which was shapeless and desert

And darkness cover’d the abysses close by;

But on the waters, with divine, expert

Zeal, God established that obscurity

Had to be opened to the bright alert!

God, seeing that it was good, called Day the light.

And the darkness instead was named Night.

Then beneath the waters, the firmament

set God, and between them, b’low, the dry land

He also set, whither at same moment,

To any bud and tree He gave command

From seed to be produc’d for nourishment

Of any species, in ground, soil or sand!

After He had named sky, earth and sea

To following duty God had to begin.

Hereafter the lights in the sky He set

Doing the moon and the sun for night and day,

And other signs and stars in dose correct,

for making years and seasons going away,

For the Most High is much more than perfect

And furthermore of this I cannot say!

About this seventh stanza therefore

I will not tell you nothing anymore!

Students at all-girl Cambridge college sent email asking them to be quieter when having sex
By Daily Mail ReporterLast updated at 10:23 PM on 04th February 2010
It's the type of institution where burning the midnight oil is normally associated with academic endeavour.
But it is late-night activities of a different kind which are currently worrying student leaders at a historic Cambridge women's college.
All 400 undergraduates at Newnham College have been sent an email asking them to be 'discreet in your activities' and reminding them that the corridors 'funnelled sound' and that some college walls are 'very thin'.

All 400 undergraduates at Newnham College were sent a polite email on Tuesday after the student union received 30 complaints about noise in the student halls
Lizzy Cole, president of the college's junior common room, sent the email after receiving 30 complaints about noise in student halls.
Undergraduates were horrified to think that their neighbours have heard them in the throes of passion. A second-year classicist, who asked to remain anonymous, said: 'When I read the email I cringed. I thought it must refer to me!'
Another Newnham undergraduate said: 'It's just so embarrassing to think that people have been listening in. I was blushing when I got the email.
'You try to keep it down, but it's easy to forget the walls are so thin if you get a bit carried away.


'This sort of thing must happen at every university in the country. Only in Cambridge would your fellow students complain. They'll be handing out ear plugs next.'
In her email, Miss Cole, 19, a second-year who is studying natural sciences, said: 'This is just a very quick thank you to everyone for being considerate of your neighbours.
'However, I'd just like to politely remind everyone that Newnham corridors funnel sound and walls are very thin in some buildings.
'Therefore, please remember to be discreet in your activities, especially during late/early hours of the day.'
Male visitors are allowed to stay for up to two nights at the college but after that must sign up for a guest room.
A male natural sciences student from Homerton College told the student newspaper The Tab of his experiences of staying a night at the college.
He said: 'I'm not surprised. That place is a nightmare to escape from when drunk. And as for the walls, I thought I was going to break them at one point!'
Newnham, whose former students include Sylvia Plath, Iris Murdoch, Germaine Greer and Joan Bakewell, was established as the second female college at Cambridge in 1871. Along with Murray Edwards College, it is one of the two remaining women's colleges.
It hit the headlines last February after several students from the Newnham Nuns drinking society were pictured in sexual poses during a boozy initiation ceremony. Yesterday Miss Cole said some students had misinterpreted the email.
'The complaints I received from people over the last month or so were mainly about general noise coming from the college,' she said
'It was things like shouting in the corridors and music being played late at night and in the early hours.'
However, Miss Cole added: 'Newnham does have a feminist reputation and also it's known as the slutty college of Cambridge, which I think is a bit unfair.
'But it's always going to be that way with an all-female http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1248487/Students-girl-Cambridge-college-sent-email-asking-quieter-having-sex.html#ixzz0ediwIMx6

Super-drug could eradicate Alzheimer's and diabetes and let us live into our 100s
By Daily Mail ReporterLast updated at 3:49 AM on 03rd February 2010

Scientists are on the brink of developing a 'long-life super-drug' which could spell the end for Alzheimer's and diabetes whilst allowing people to live into their 100s.
Experts have pinpointed three genes which can extend life past 100 and prevent diseases that commonly strike in old age.
Two genes boost the production of so-called good cholesterol, which reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke, while the third prevents diabetes.
Enlarge
Professor Nir Barzilai (right) with 102 year old Rhea Tauber. Professor Barzilai found just three genes could explain why some people live past 100
People whose DNA prominently includes these genes are also 80 per cent less likely to develop Alzheimer's, experts will reveal on BBC2's Horizon tomorrow night.
World renowned geneticist Dr Nir Barzilai said several laboratories were now in the process of creating a pill that mimics the genes and expects the first to be ready for testing within three years.
Dr Barzilai's team examined the DNA of 500 healthy Ashkenazi Jews with an average age of 100 to determine if they shared traits that could explain their longevity.
Amazingly, a third of the centenarians were either obese or life-long heavy smokers, said Dr Barzilai, a director of the Institute for Aging Research and Professor of Medicine and Molecular Genetics Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
The chances of living to 100 are one in 10,000 but the study group - which shared relatively few common ancestors - was 20 times more likely to hit the century.
New York-based Dr Barzilai told the programme that three slight variations in their common genetic make-up provided the answer, after ruling out fitness and dietary causes.
He said: 'Thirty per cent of them were obese or overweight and 30 per cent smoked two packs of cigarettes (a day) for more than 40 years.
'Because our centenarians have longevity genes, they are protected against many of the effects of the environment.
'That's why they do whatever they want to do and they get through anyhow.'

Professor Rochelle Buffenstein from the University of Texas with a naked mole rat. These rodents can live up to 30 years, which is far longer than the three year average life span of a normal rat
His team took blood samples from the group to examine two million genetic markers in their DNA.
Dr Barzilai said: 'We found three that seemed to be over-represented in our 100-year-olds. Two of these genes seem to be relevant to cholesterol.
'Basically, they increase good cholesterol in a significant way. There's no drug currently that does it so effectively.
'Another gene seemed to be very important in preventing diabetes.
'It seems that those who have this specific genotype are protected from Alzheimer's by about 80 per cent.'
Dr Barzilai, who is a director at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, believes his findings could have huge benefits for everyone, increase average life expectancy and cut the risk of serious illness in old age.
He added: 'The advantage of finding a gene that involves longevity is that we can just develop a drug that will imitate exactly what this gene is doing.
'The biology we're trying to uncover is that if we can imitate that, then long life can be really terrific.'
Dr Barzilai revealed that normal lifespans were usually determined by 80 per cent lifestyle choices and 20 per cent genes.
However, it is the opposite way round with centenarians, which meant the answer to their longevity was predominately down to their genes".

He's still the fattest

Big Luciano Pavarotti and Fats Domino were two slim guys comparing to 440 Kilos' (70 stone) weight Paul Mason, a former postman from Ipswich, Suffolk in England.

And even after loosing 20 stone, he's still the fattest man in the world!

A really not envying record to be won!

World's heaviest man loses 20 stone after gastric bypass surgery... but he's still the fattest
By Daily Mail ReporterLast updated at 10:44 AM on 01st February 2010
The world's heaviest man has lost more than 20 stone after having a life-saving operation.
Paul Mason, 48, now weighs 49 stone after undergoing complicated gastric bypass surgery.
But the former postman is still believed to be the world's heaviest man after his predecessor, Mexican Manuel Uribe, lost more than 45 stone so he could get married.

Crash diet: Paul Mason, 48, has lost more than 20 stone after undergoing gastric bypass surgery to staple part of his stomach
Mr Mason, who lives in Ipswich, Suffolk, had part of his stomach stapled off so that all the food he ate went into a small 'pouch', vastly restricting the amount he could eat.
Doctors put him on a crash diet to bring his weight down to a safe level so the operation could go ahead.
He was driven 143 miles in an ambulance with reinforced beds to have the operation at the specialist St Richard's Hospital in Chichester.
He will spend two weeks in hospital and will require another operation in six months.
'Paul is looking pretty well. He has lost a lot of weight, but has a lot more to lose,' an NHS source told The Sun.
'He said he has been waiting eight years for the procedure, but now that he weighs around 49 stone it's been worth the wait.

Paul Mason: Needed fork lift truck for operation
'He said his aim is to be able to get into a mobility wheelchair and eventually drive a car.'
Mr Mason ballooned to 70 stone last year on a diet of junk food - despite being looked after full time by Suffolk County Council carers.
He admitted to eating 20,000 calories a day, eight times the amount needed by an average man.
His care bill costs taxpayers an estimated £100,000 a year and is believed to have topped £1million over the last 15 years.
Firefighters had to demolish the front wall of Mr Mason's former home in Ipswich so they could drive a fork lift truck inside to lift him out and put him into an ambulance when he needed a hernia operation in 2002.
At the time he weighed 56 stone and told doctors that he was desperate to lose weight.
He ended up slimming down to 45 stone before piling the weight back on with his junk food diet.Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1247624/Worlds-heaviest-man-Paul-Mason-loses-20-stone-gastric-bypass-surgery.html#ixzz0eJyU3eiy
