Selena Gomez's 'Justin' tattoo not permanent

Selena
While taking the stage in Las Vegas, Gomez got her boyfriend’s name etched inside her wrist.

Selena Gomez had taken some people aback when she showed what looks like a tattoo of the word “Justin” on her right wrist during her concert in Las Vegas. While her romance to pop star Justin Bieber is real, the ink is not.

Gomez s representative has said that the ink is not permanent. It looks like the word “Justin” and the heart below it were made with Magic Marker. Some even reported that by the time she left the stage, it had already begun to smudge.

Although the tattoo is fake, it doesn t mean that the “A Year Without Rain” singer won t get one someday. Several days ago she sported got a large henna tattoo of her nickname “Sels” on her right shoulder. Her boyfriend is also a fan of body art, inking his ribcage last year with an outline of the bird from novel “Jonathan Livingston Seagull”.

Graeme Swann was named captain of England’s squad for two T20s against West Indies

Swann

Graeme Swann was named captain of England’s squad for two T20s against West Indies.
With injured captain and vice-captain Stuart Broad and Eoin Morgan currently unavailable, England had been hesitating over who would lead the team at The Oval next week.

 

Both one-day international captain Alastair Cook and regular Tim Bresnan made it clear over the past two days that they would jump at the chance to take over.

 

But Test and ODI opener Cook remains outside the Twenty20 squad, having not featured in the shortest format for almost two years.

 

There is also no Kevin Pietersen in the 14-man list, meaning England will start with a youthful squad which includes two potential debutants in Yorkshire batsman Jonathan Bairstow and Hampshire spinner Danny Briggs.

 

There is a return to Twenty20 for fast bowler James Anderson, inked in for Tests and ODIs – while young Durham leg-spinner Scott Borthwick is the other addition to the squad from the one which beat India by six wickets last month.

 

National Selector Geoff Miller said: “We have once again selected a blend of experienced international performers, along with exciting young players with a great deal of talent.

 

“We have had a successful summer to date and will be looking to continue our form during the Twenty20 series against West Indies and finish the summer with two strong performances.

 

“We have selected 10 of the players who were involved in last month s Twenty20 victory over India, while the injuries to Stuart Broad and Eoin Morgan and the continued period of rest for Kevin Pietersen means we bring four players into the squad.”

 

Off-spinner Swann, who has never captained his country before, will become the fifth man to lead them this summer.

 

Miller added: “Graeme Swann is a highly-respected member of the England side, and his experience and leadership qualities will be invaluable when he leads a young England team next week – a role he is very much looking forward to.”

 

England play the West Indies at The Oval on September 23 and 25.

Safari Parks: A human managed natural homelands of Wildlife

A safari is an overland journey, usually a trip by tourists to Africa. Traditionally, the term is used for a big-game hunt, but today the term often refers to a trip taken not for the purposes of hunting, but to observe and photograph animals and other wildlife.    

History:

In 1836 William Cornwallis Harris led an expedition purely to observe and record wildlife and landscapes by the expedition's members. Harris established the safari style of a not too strenuous rising at first light, an energetic day walking, an afternoon rest then concluding with a formal dinner and telling stories in the evening over drinks and tobacco.

Safari Style:

There is a certain theme or style associated with the word, which includes khaki clothing, belted bush jackets, pith helmets or slouch hats, and animal skin patterns—like leopard's skin. There is also a term of safari chic that followed the film Out of Africa . This not only included clothing but also interior design and architecture.

Modern Safari:

In a report Latest CNN News reported thatSafaris have today diversified considerably from the initial fledgling expeditions of the pioneering European explorers and colonialists. Tourism is becoming an increasingly prevalent economic factor for many Southern African nations, in several regions surpassing traditional industries such as agriculture. Lending to specific conditions such as relative infrastructure or inherent geography countries such as Kenya, Botswana,Zambia, Namibia, Uganda and South Africa advertise locally specialised safari experiences ranging from Guided Safaris, Mobile Safaris, Walking Safaris and Fly-In Safaris to more niche concepts including Elephant Back Safaris, River Safaris, Primate Safaris, Horseback Safaris and even Balloon Safaris.

Angina is cureable

What is Angina?

Angina pectoris, commonly known as angina, is severe chest pain due to ischemia (a lack of blood, thus a lack of oxygen supply) of the heart muscle, generally due to obstruction or spasm of the coronary arteries (the heart's blood vessels). Coronary artery disease, the main cause of angina, is due to atherosclerosis of the cardiac arteries. The term derives from the  Latinangina ("infection of the throat") from the  Greek   ankhone  ("strangling"), and the Latinpectus ("chest"), and can therefore be translated as "a strangling feeling in the chest". Worsening ("crescendo") angina attacks, sudden-onset angina at rest, and angina lasting more than 15 minutes are symptoms of unstable angina (usually grouped with similar conditions as the acute coronary syndrome). As these may herald myocardial infarction (a heart attack), they require urgent medical attention and are generally treated as a presumed heart attack.

Classifications of Angina: Stable Angina: Also known as effort angina, this refers to the more common understanding of angina related to myocardial ischemia. Latest CNN News reported that Typical presentations of stable angina is that of chest discomfort and associated symptoms precipitated by some activity (running, walking, etc.) with minimal or non-existent symptoms at rest. Symptoms typically abate several minutes following cessation of precipitating activities and stops when activity resumes. In this way, stable angina may be thought of as being similar to claudication symptoms.

Unstable Angina:

Unstable angina (UA) (also "crescendo angina;" this is a form of acute coronary syndrome) is defined as angina pectoris that changes or worsens.[1] It has at least one of these three features:

  1. it occurs at rest (or with minimal exertion), usually lasting >10 min;
  2. it is severe and of new onset (i.e., within the prior 4–6 weeks); and/or
  3. it occurs with a crescendo pattern (i.e., distinctly more severe, prolonged, or frequent than before).

 Microvascular Angina:

Microvascular Angina or Angina Syndrome X is characterized by angina-like chest pain, but have different causes. The cause of Microvascular Angina is unknown, but it appears to be the result of poor function in the tiny blood vessels of the heart, arms and legs.[7] Since microvascular angina isn't characterized by arterial blockages, it's harder to recognize and diagnose, but its prognosis is excellent.    

Symptoms of Angina:

Most patients with angina complain of chest discomfort rather than actual pain: the discomfort is usually described as a:

  • Pressure,
  • Heaviness,
  • Tightness,
  • Squeezing,
  • Burning, or
  • Choking sensation.

Apart from chest discomfort, anginal pains may also be experienced in the epigastrium (upper central abdomen), back, neck area, jaw, or shoulders.

Risk Factors: Major risk factors for angina include:

  • Cigarette Smoking
  • High Cholesterol
  • High Blood Pressure
  • Sedentary Lifestyle
  • Family History of premature heart disease
  • Age (? 55 years for men, ? 65 for women)
  • Diabetes mellitus (DM)
  • Dyslipidemia
  • Hypertension (HTN)
  • Kidney disease (microalbuminuria or GFR<60 mL/min)
  • Obesity (BMI ? 30 kg/m2)
  • Physical inactivity

 

 

Diagnosis: Suspect angina in people presenting with tight, dull, or heavy chest discomfort which is: 1. Retrosternal or left-sided, radiating to the left arm, neck, jaw, or back. 2. Associated with exertion or emotional stress and relieved within several minutes by rest. 3. Precipitated by cold weather or a meal. Some people present with atypical symptoms, including breathlessness, nausea, or epigastric discomfort or burping. These atypical symptoms are particularly likely in older people, women, and those with diabetes. Angina pain is not usually sharp or stabbing or influenced by respiration. Antacids and simple analgesia do not usually relieve the pain. If chest discomfort (of whatever site) is precipitated by exertion, relieved by rest, and relieved by glyceryl trinitrate, the likelihood of angina is increased. In angina patients who are momentarily not feeling any one chest pain, an electrocardiogram (ECG) is typically normal, unless there have been other cardiac problems in the past. During periods of pain, depression or elevation of the ST segment may be observed. To elicit these changes, an exercise ECG test ("treadmill test") may be performed, during which the patient exercises to their maximum ability before fatigue, breathlessness or, importantly, pain intervenes; if characteristic ECG changes are documented (typically more than 1 mm of flat or downsloping ST depression), the test is considered diagnostic for angina. Even constant monitoring of the blood pressure and the pulse rate can lead us to some conclusion regarding the angina. The exercise test is also useful in looking for other markers of myocardial ischaemia: blood pressure response (or lack thereof, particularly a drop in systolic pressure), dysrhythmia and chronotropic response. Other alternatives to a standard exercise test include a thallium scintigram (in patients who cannot exercise enough for the purposes of the treadmill tests, e.g., due to asthma or arthritis or in whom the ECG is too abnormal at rest) or Stress Echocardiography.

Treatment:

  The most specific medicine to treat angina is nitroglycerin. It is a potent vasodilator that makes more oxygen available to the heart muscle.Beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers act to decrease the heart's workload, and thus its requirement for oxygen. Nitroglycerin should not be given if certain inhibitors such as Viagra, Cialis, or Levitra have been taken by the casualty within the previous 12 hours as the combination of the two could cause a serious drop in blood pressure. Treatments are balloon angioplasty, in which the balloon is inserted at the end of a catheter and inflated to widen the arterial lumen. Stents to maintain the arterial widening are often used at the same time.Coronary bypass surgery involves bypassing constricted arteries with venous grafts. This is much more invasive than angioplasty. Exercise is also a very good long term treatment for the angina (but only particular regimens - gentle and sustained exercise rather than intense short bursts), probably working by complex mechanisms such as improving blood pressure and promoting coronary artery collateralisation. Identifying and treating risk factors for further coronary heart disease is a priority in patients with angina. This means testing for elevated cholesterol and other fats in the blood, diabetes and hypertension (high blood pressure), encouraging stopping smoking and weight optimisation. The calcium channel blocker nifedipine prolongs cardiovascular event- and procedure-free survival in patients with coronary artery disease. New overt heart failures were reduced by 29% compared to placebo; however, the mortality rate difference between the two groups was statistically insignificant.

European stock markets quickly reversed direction and fell for a second day

Euorpean_stock
European stock markets quickly reversed direction and fell for a second day.

European stocks slid deeper into the red on Tuesday and the euro fell on rising expectations that Greece is set for a default despite fresh international efforts to resolve the debt crisis. 

German Chancellor Angela Merkel sought to ease fears over a possible Greek bankruptcy, saying the 17-country eurozone had to stick together and that an “uncontrolled insolvency” must be avoided.

 

US President Barack Obama warned overnight that the world economy would remain weak until the eurozone crisis was solved, as market anxiety mounted over debt woes in Greece, Spain and Italy.

 

The Paris CAC 40 tumbled 1.61 percent to 2,806.39 in afternoon deals, London s FTSE 100 stocks index dropped 0.63 percent at 5,097.90 points and in Frankfurt the DAX 30 index slid 0.20 percent to 5,062.22. Madrid lost 0.52 percent and Milan fell 0.17 percent.

 

Shares in French banks plummeted again amid rumours that China was refusing to buy Italian government bonds, dealers said. BNP Paribas, the bank most exposed to Italian debt, plunged by nearly 10.0 percent in early trading on the Paris stock exchange, with Societe Generale down by 4.0 percent.

 

 

Italy meanwhile placed bonds worth close to 6.5 billion euros ($8.8 billion) on Tuesday but the yield it had to offer reached a new high level, the Bank of Italy said, revealing a marked lack of investor confidence.

 

In foreign exchange trade, the euro dropped below $1.36 but was off 10-year lows against the yen struck on Monday.
Speaking to German radio station RBB on Tuesday, Merkel said “the top priority is to avoid an uncontrolled (Greek) insolvency, because that would not just affect Greece, and the danger that it hits everyone or at least several countries is very big.”

 

She stressed that the eurozone had to remain intact, hinting that if Greece were to leave the group, others would swiftly follow. “I have made my position very clear that everything must be done to keep the eurozone together politically. Because we would soon have a domino effect,” said the chancellor.

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao says he is confident that China will maintain economic growth

Chines_pm
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao says he is confident that China will maintain economic growth.
China s Premier Wen Jiabao on Wednesday said China will keep monetary policy right to keep a lid on inflation, but also signaled caution to avoid hurting the world s second-largest economy.

“China will adhere to the strategy of expanding domestic consumption, focus on adjusting and optimising the demand structure and increase the momentum triggered by consumption,” he said.

 

He vowed to keep a tight lid on inflation, following a drop in annual inflation figures from a three-year high of 6.5 percent in July to 6.2 percent in August. He also signaled caution to avoid hurting the world s second-largest economy.

 

“We will continue to implement positive fiscal policies and prudent monetary policies, aimed at tackling the prominent problems emerging during economic operation to keep the continuity and stability of China s macro-economic policies,” Wen said.

 

“The governments of all the countries must truly take responsibility and take care of their own affairs. The main developed countries must take responsible and effective fiscal policies to properly cope with the sovereign debt issues,” he said.
He also called for European countries to recognise China as a market economy.

 

Wen delivered the opening speech at the event, known as “summer Davos”, since the World Economic Forum first began staging the event in China in 2007.

Mustafa Abdul-Jalil addressed a crowd of thousands in Martyr’s Square in central Tripoli.

Mustfa
Libya leader Mustafa Abdul-Jalil addressed a crowd of thousands in Martyr’s Square in central Tripoli.
The chief of Libya s revolutionary movement told thousands of cheering Libyans in Tripoli Monday to strive for a civil, democratic state, while loyalists of the hunted dictator Moammar Gaddafi killed at least 15 opposition fighters in an attack on a key oil town in Libya s east.

 

Mustafa Abdul-Jalil addressed a rowdy crowd of thousands in Martyr s Square in central Tripoli, a site that until recently was famous for pro-Gaddafi rallies. Flanked by a few dozen revolutionary leaders in their largest public gathering since rebel forces stormed into the capital on Aug. 21, he called on Libyans to build a state based on the rule of law.

 

“No retribution, no taking matters into your own hands and no oppression. I hope that the revolution will not stumble because of any of these things,” he said.

 

As he spoke, thousands waved flags, cheered and chanted, “Hold your head high, you re a free Libyan!” Some wept openly as fireworks exploded overhead.

Abdul-Jalil heads the National Transitional Council, founded in the eastern city of Benghazi early in the six-month civil war to guide the rebel movement. Its leaders have been arriving in the capital since it fell into rebel hands last month to start building a new government.

 

Abdul-Jalil, who served as Gaddafi s justice minister before joining the rebels at the uprising s start, defined the government he says the NTC hopes to create.

 

“We strive for a state of the law, for a state of prosperity, for a state that will have Islamic sharia law the basis of legislation,” he said.

 

Abdul-Jalil said the new Libya would focus on youth and women, adding that some ministries and embassies would be headed by women. Some have criticized the rebel movement for not putting women in leadership roles, and none stood on stage with the movement s leaders.
