I'm not sure what they were firing, or who they were firing at, at the beginning. Perhaps the pirates had the Russians "surrounded" and the Russians were firing at a target off camera. I don't know.

Chinese soybean milk machines use carcinogenic lubricant
Post Date: 2011-09-09 06:16:03 by Tatarewicz
0 Comments
Household appliances such as soybean milk machines and juice extractors have been made with industrial lubricant rather than lubricant for food, 21cbh.com reported Thursday, citing a staff with Fuchs Petrolub AG (China). The malpractice is a potential health hazard for customers because industrial lubricant contains carcinogen, a substance linked with causing cancer. "Manufacturers of soybean milk machines, including Joyoung and Midea, are well aware that the lubricant for production is for industrial use. It is only during product examinations from outside agencies that they purchase lubricant for food", the staff said. Suppliers are able to use industrial lubricant because ...

Earth's "surface" gold came from outer space

ScienceDaily (Sep. 7, 2011) — Ultra high precision analyses of some of the oldest rock samples on Earth by researchers at the University of Bristol provides clear evidence that the planet's accessible reserves of precious metals are the result of a bombardment of meteorites more than 200 million years after Earth was formed. The research is published in Nature. During the formation of Earth, molten iron sank to its centre to make the core. This took with it the vast majority of the planet's precious metals -- such as gold and platinum. In fact, there are enough precious metals in the core to cover the entire surface of Earth with a four-metre thick layer. The removal of ...

MILAN (AP) — An Anglo-American expert on the evolution of the universe and an Irish-born historian of the rise of Christianity and the cult of the saints are two of the four winners of this year's Balzan Prizes. Astronomer Joseph Silk and historian Peter Brown joined Polish philosopher Bronislaw Baczko and Russell Lande of the United States in winning the 750,000 Swiss franc (euro670,000; $950,000) prize, which seeks to highlight new or emerging areas of research and to sustain overlooked fields of study. Silk, of Johns Hopkins University, was credited with pioneering work on the early evolution of the universe. The Balzan judges lauded Princeton University-based Brown for his ...

ZHENGZHOU - Most of the 30 enslaved and abused workers rescued from illegal brick kilns in Central China's Henan province have been unable to give their personal details to police due to their mental illness, public security officials said on Tuesday. Henan police liberated the victims, some of who have worked without pay for more than seven years, in four counties and cities on Sunday. Rescuers struggle to ID disabled kiln slaves However, Liu Weiming, deputy director of publicity in Zhumadian, where 17 mentally ill laborers were rescued from two brick kilns, said the workers are unable to reveal their identities and have been sent to a nearby relief center. "Some of them ...

Wikileaks: Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe 'has cancer'
Post Date: 2011-09-06 07:00:03 by Tatarewicz
1 Comments
Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe has prostate cancer which has spread to other organs, according to a leaked US diplomatic cable. The cable, published by whistle-blower site Wikileaks, cites central bank governor Gideon Gono as saying Mr Mugabe's doctors had urged him to quit. The cable, written in 2008 by the US embassy in Harare, also says 87-year-old Mr Mugabe could die by 2013. Mr Gono, a staunch ally of Mr Mugabe, dismissed the cable as "fiction". The cable cites Mr Gono as saying the cancer had "metastasized and, according to doctors, will cause his death in three to five years." In an interview with Reuters news agency last September, Mr Mugabe - ...

It's bad enough when your wife divorces you over a lack of sex and the judge rules you "solely responsible." It's worse when she takes you back to court two years later and garners 10,000 euro in damages. But this apparently happened in—where else?—France, where a man known in court documents as Jean-Louis B. was ordered to pay out around $14,000 to his ex, answering the prayers of dozens of stand-up comedians and talk show monologue writers: "The 47-year-old ex-wife then took him back to court demanding 10,000 euros in compensation for "lack of sex over 21 years of marriage". The ex-husband claimed "tiredness and health problems" had ...

Four obese children are on the brink of being permanently removed from their family by social workers after their parents failed to bring their weight under control. In the first case of its kind, their mother and father now face what they call the ‘unbearable’ likelihood of never seeing them again. Their three daughters, aged 11, seven and one, and five-year-old son, will either be ‘fostered without contact’ or adopted.

Although she recently opted to surgically guillotine her bazooms, the stubbly tattooed blobfish born Chastity Sun Bono has no penis and has yet to fill and pave over her vagina with cement, so I refuse to refer to that mortally confused woman as “he.” There ain’t no wiener in that there sausage factory, and thus anyone who insists “Chaz Bono is a man” or “He was born that way” is either a liar, an idiot, or a lying idiot. Baby Bono has no boner, and she could mainline enough testosterone to where she looks like Haystacks Calhoun, but she will forever remain a chick—a hideously mutant sac of celebrity DNA gone wrong, sure—but still a chick.

In China, like in the West, crappy public education prompting parents to home school

Home schools emerged in many places of China today due to the parents' concern about the public education, the China Youth Daily reported Monday. A growing number of parents in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces are choosing to let their children receive an education at home rather than attend public kindergartens, primary, junior or senior middle schools. Some parents think their children cannot realize the happiness of learning, acquire useful knowledge effectively and master learning for a modern society through the current methods taught in schools. A recent seminar about launching home school projects was held by 21st Century Education Research Institute in ...

The Davis Report-The Unusualness of the Human Gene. There are many examples of unusual features found on humans from around the globe. This group below are the Yagans. Now that is not what they called themselves. They called themselves the Yamana. They lived at the bottom of the world, that is the southern tip of South America in the coastal areas of Tierra del Fuego. In that harsh environment, where it rains or sleets and snows over 300 days out of the year, and the water temperature is around 35 degrees, these people rarely dressed in anything at all. Occasionally an otter pelt shawl but most of the time completely naked. When Charles Darwin weighed anchor with the “Beagle”, ...
