Canadian woman gives birth while sitting on toilet

Friday, December 18, 2009 

International media attention has been a harsh mistress for 32-year-old Heather Richard of Winnipeg, Manitoba, who gave birth on Sunday while sitting on the toilet. Richard, who believed she was barren and thus assumed she could not be pregnant, thought she was suffering from cramps and a bad bowel movement.

“I kept getting the urge to push and just thought it was a real bad bowel movement,” Richard told the Winnipeg Sun, whose interview was picked up by the Canadian wire service. “It just fell out. I thought it was my intestines, so I’m freaking out…but then it’s a little boy.” Richard realized that the product was a baby and not her insides when its leg twitched.

Relatives of Richard’s found her hysterically crying and pointing at the toilet. “She was crying and saying, ‘Help me, get my baby out of the toilet, he’s drowning,” Keith Richard, her cousin, told the Sun. While the rest of the family was immobile by the revelation, police officers knocked on her front door; she was to be arrested due to outstanding warrants that Richard says have since been cleared.

One officer performed CPR on the baby and it was rushed to the hospital. The baby, since named Isaiah, weighed five pounds, nine ounces, and suffered a skull fracture, presumably as a result of his head hitting the toilet bowl. The baby is in stable condition and Richard is recovering from her birth at home.

The incident spread like wildfire in the Canadian and international press on Tuesday and Wednesday. When asked about the coverage, Richard told the website canoe.ca that she was embarrassed at all the fuss the story generated.

Brazilian environmentalists tell residents to urinate in shower to save water

Wednesday, August 5, 2009 

Environmentalists in Brazil are urging the country’s residents to urinate in the shower while washing themselves, to help conserve water and save the rainforest. Television ads being aired in the country claim that by doing so, the nation could save over 1,000 gallons of water per household each year.

SOS Mata Atlantica ran the ad campaign in an attempt to use comedy to get people to reduce the amount of water they use. “[The ad is] a way to be playful about a serious subject,” said Adriana Kfouri, a spokesperson for Atlantica.

The animated ad narrated by children shows people, including a trapeze artist, an alien and dancers, all taking a shower while at the same time, urinating in it. The ending of the ad then states, “Pee in the shower! Save the Atlantic rainforest!”

Ken Livingstone, former mayor of London, England, proposed a similar campaign in 2006. He said urine should be classified as a “green waste” and that “there is no earthly reason that you need to flush the loo if you have merely urinated. That’s a huge saving of water.”

Am I Losing Too Much Hair?

It could be that hair loss runs in your family. Or maybe you’ve recognized what resembles too much hairs on your comb or hai

ush most recently. For whatever reason, you’re bothered that you are failing to keep too much hair, and have recognized what seems thinning.

Let’s start with a few certainties. It is quite normal to fail to keep as many as 50 to 100 hairs per day. Not all will be on your hai

ush, nonetheless. You may lose a few hairs while having your shower; you may lose some while pushing your bangs out of your eyes. So, don’t presume to count the hairs on your brush and know for sure how many hairs you normally lose.

The reason that everybody loses a certain number of hair is that each follicle enters the anagen– or resting– phase many times over the course of a life time. A follicle may stay in this stage for three or four months. Nevertheless, this is a comparatively short phase in comparison to the catagen– or developping– phase. Pending on your genetics, yourhair may be growing for three to ten years at a time!

This implies that the true benchmark of whether you are losing too much hair is whether the follicles spring from the resting phase and re-enter the growing phase. If you observe your hair is thinning, your hair follicles may not be returning to growing hair, for a number of reasons.

One of the most common reasons is too much DHT. DHT is Dihydrotestosterone, a hormonal factor that can prevent receptors in the hair follicle and slowly deprive the follicle by stopping nutrients from entering.

The fantastic news is that there is a harmless herbal product that can help to reduce your levels of DHT as you would expect. It’s called saw palmetto. New research shows that this supplement is sufficient against DHT, helping to break it down into other things that are not ravaging to your hair.

So, just how do you get Saw Palmetto to the follicle? While you can imbibe saw palmetto as an oral pill, this method does not guarantee delivery of sufficient concentration of the herbal treatment to the follicle itself. One of the best ways to get saw palmetto directly to the site of your hair loss is to implement it to the scalp. You can get this combination with a number of topical products. One such combination is SureThik Shampoo and Serum. The advantage of SureThik (unlike some competitors) is that the company posts research on its site that documents the effectiveness of its compounds, so that the customer understands how the formula works against hair loss.

Why apply the key component twice to the scalp? It’s all about results. The benefit of using both a shampoo and serum combination is that it delivers saw palmetto in two steps– with a scalp cleansing shampoo and a leave-on treatment. This is a one-two punch against hair loss from DHT. It could be that hair loss runs in your family. Or maybe you’ve recognized what resembles too much hairs on your comb or hai

Chinese hostage rescued in the Philippines

Tuesday, July 6, 2010 

A Filipino police official said that Xili Wu, a Chinese buinessman held by al-Qaida-linked militants on a southern island for one and a half years, has been rescued.

Amil Banaan, Chief Inspector of Sulu provincial police, says Wu was under the name Peter Go to hide his illegal status in the country before he was kidnapped by a terrorist organisation, the Abu Sayyaf.

The police said the Abu Sayyaf abducted Wu in 2008, from his appliance store in Jolo township that he had opened after immigrating from China.

The police claimed that no people were hurt during the fight between them and the Abu Sayyaf that took place during the rescue operation.

The Abu Sayyaf group is on the US government’s list of foreign terrorist organisations and is well known for staging kidnappings for ransom in the Southern Philippines.

Good Audio Books Inspire And Educate

Good Audio Books Inspire and Educate

by

Topearner

As long as there has been recorded history, there has been books. That means that enjoying a good book has been a relaxing pass time by many for eons. However, with recent advances in technology, people no longer need to sit with a book sprawled out in front of them and concentrate on the reading the text. Today, people can enjoy books virtually anywhere. How often do you see people reading a novel while jogging compared to seeing people jogging with headphones? There s a good possibility that at least some of these people are enjoying listening to a good audio book while they are out doing their daily run.

With the advent of the Internet and portable mp3 players, the popularity of audio books has reached an all time high. Publishers now are even hiring celebrities to read their publications to increase audio book sales and reach.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xb5spS8pmE[/youtube]

One audio book enthusiast took it upon herself to examine the time difference between reading a book and listening to an audio book. She said that listening to an audio book takes about four hours, whereas reading a book takes her about 120 hours. This means that she could listen to about 30 books in the time it takes her to read just one book.

One of the biggest contributors to the popularity of audio books is the fact that one can take in a good book while doing just about anything. Never before could a person enjoy a book while washing the dishes driving or walking the dog. Now, people can enjoy the relaxing effects of a good story anytime, anyplace.

Not only are audio books good for time-restrained book lovers, but they are also a great tool to help teach your child to read. Now you find both text and audio versions of children s books. While an audio book can never compare to a parent reading and guiding his or her child through the words and pictures, audio books often come with sound effects and fun voices that make the reading experience fun for both child and parent. Just like reading a good book, listening to a good audio book can inspire, educate and increase mental alertness.

Janet Rusky is an upcoming author who runs one of the best audio book stores on the internet where 7000 titles divided in hundreds of categories are available for immediate download.http://www.best-audiobook-store.com

20 injured in Montreal college shooting spree

Wednesday, September 13, 2006 

At 12:41 p.m. local time (UTC-5), a man opened fire at Dawson College, in Westmount, Quebec, Canada; the college is located near the heart of downtown Montreal. Police report at least 20 people being injured. The gunman was reportedly killed at the scene by police. Students told reporters that they heard several shots in the building at about 12:45 local time. One student told a local radio station that she saw two people who had been shot, including one who was hit at the neck. The student said a friend told her four people had been shot.

Hundreds of students fled the building, and the area has been cordoned off. Nearby Plaza Alexis Nihon and Westmount Square were evacuated and the Green line of the Montreal Metro was shut down between Lionel-Groulx and Peel. Police officers wearing bullet-proof vests are keeping people away from the college. “They’re telling me, ‘Go the other way, lady, you’re in the line of fire,'” said CBC News reporter Nancy Wood, who reported from the scene.

Local media have reported police hotlines have been established for loved ones to gain more information: +1-(514)-280-2880, +1-(514)-280-2805, and +1-(514)-280-2806. The Montreal General Hospital has also set up a hotline at +1-(514)-843-2839.

Police have reported that the situation has been neutralized as of 20:06, September 13, 2006 (UTC). Police have been told to stand down and are no longer looking for new victims or shooters.

Dawson College is a CEGEP that hosts about 10,000 students.

Earlier reports suggested that there were between two and six gunmen, however, reports are generally that there were two, maybe three. Police have only confirmed that there was one gunman, Kimveer Gill, who was shot dead “after police intervention,”. They will not say anything about additional shooters. A close witness to Gill’s last moments reported being used as a shield during the shootout with police officers, who allegedly hit Gill in the arm. The shooter would then have turned his weapon on himself.

The gunman was Kimveer Gill, a 25 year old Laval man. He was carrying three guns: a Beretta Cx4 Storm carbine, a Glock 9mm handgun, and a Norinco HP9-1 sawed-off shotgun.

Up to 20 shots were fired over a period of 30 minutes.

Police have indicated 20 people have been injured in the incident. CBC reports that 16 people are injured, and 2 have been killed, including the gunman. Montreal General Hospital officials have stated that 11 people have been admitted with gunshot wounds, 8 of them in critical condition. A spokeswoman also stated that 3 others were taken to Jean Talon Hospital and two others were taken to the Jewish General Hospital. The spokeswoman went on to report that most of the injuries are to the abdomen and limbs, and one victim with an injury to the head.

The Magic Formula Of Attracting Success

Submitted by: Jason Chow

One of the fundamental things that I believe and that happens to me personally over and over again is that the Universe delivers to me exactly what I need and exactly what I ask for. It is a kind of Magic Formula that always works for me and for everyone in my life, including my coaching clients.

By observing the lives of so many people around me I have noticed that, if we blame people or things for problems that we encounter, the Universe delivers to us more things that can go wrong so that we can blame more. This happens subconsciously.

The moment you embrace any failure and celebrate the failure embraces you back and the perpetual cycle is broken. The moment you face and embrace any fear and push through that pain with faith, your whole system recalibrates and takes you to the next level of being.

We have two types of mind: conscious and subconscious. Your conscious mind is only 10% (a very small part of your total mind). 90% of your mental life is subconscious. The real reason why a lot of people never achieve success in life is because they only use this 10% of their conscious mind. If you could only learn how to use more of your subconscious mental energy, you would be amazed how much more success you could attract and experience in life.

It works like this: If you say, “I need more money,” thinking that this will focus you on ways to make more money and deliver more money to you, the truth is that the Universe will deliver to you more need for more money, not more money. This is very subtle in the way it works.

So how should you change your thinking?

Activate Your Magic Formula Of Success by developing an ongoing Attitude Of Gratitude Campaign in your life and the lives of those around you.

This means breaking your old habits and auto-responses to situations and frustrations immediately

Here are some simple and powerful steps to make it work:

Step 1.

Start off each day immediately upon waking up with the thought, “Today is a perfect day, the best day ever.”

Step 2.

End each day, as you climb into bed, with “Today was perfect and tomorrow will be even better.”

Step 3.

Make a list of those things that you want to achieve today and every day, adding to it as you realize that you are able to achieve more. Instead of saying, “I have bills to pay, so I need more money,” say it this way: “My life is perfect, all my needs are met, I am living in abundance.”

Step 4.

Create a Gratitude Journal, and every morning write 10 new things for which you are grateful. Guess what will happen soon after you start sincerely paying attention and acknowledging your blessings?

You start attracting all your goals and dreams like a magnet.

As you are working through this process yourself, encourage others to do the same. Share this simple and powerful wisdom with everyone in your life.

Together, let’s make this World a better place!
