Operators of a sewage treatment plant in eastern Germany have saved around €10,000 over the last year – apparently by playing Mozart to their microbes. They are now calling for scientists to come and investigate. Roland Meinusch, manager of the plant in Treuenbrietzen, Brandenburg, said the plant some 70 kilometres southeast of Berlin produced 1,000 cubic metres less sewage sludge than normal last year – and the only thing he had changed was the music. “We play them Mozart’s Magic Flute, on a half-hour loop,” he told The Local. The better the microbes work, the more they digest the sewage, producing more clean water and less sludge. “And the less ...

Doctors say increasing numbers of German men are paying for surgery to their genitals, surprising even plastic surgeons with their demand for enlargement operations. “Penis enlargements are now in seventh place among aesthetic surgery procedures for men,” said Sven von Saldern, the president of the German Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. “That surprised even us.” Yet he was at pains to emphasis that the operation increases size but does not necessarily improve function. “It is a purely aesthetic procedure,” he said. The most popular procedure for men remains liposuction, he said, referring to a survey of 1,100 plastic surgery patients. Although ...

Imagine being born without arms. No arms to wrap around someone, no hands to experience touch, or to hold another hand with. Or what about being born without legs? Having no ability to dance, walk, run, or even stand on two feet. Now put both of those scenarios together: no arms and no legs. What would you do? How would that effect your everyday life? Meet Nick Vujicic... Born in 1982 in Melbourne, Australia, without any medical explanation or warning, Nicholas Vujicic (pronounced Voy-a-chich) came into the world with neither arms nor legs. Having had an uneventful pregnancy and no family history to expect this condition, imagine the shock his parents felt when they saw their first ...

A man who burned to death in his home died as a result of spontaneous combustion, an Irish coroner has ruled. It is believed to be the first case of its kind in Ireland. West Galway coroner Dr Ciaran McLoughlin said it was the first time in 25 years of investigating deaths that he had returned such a verdict. Michael Faherty, 76, died at his home at Clareview Park, Ballybane, Galway on 22 December 2010. An inquest in Galway on Thursday heard how investigators had been baffled as to the cause of death. Forensic experts found a fire in the fireplace of the sitting room where the badly burnt body was found had not been the cause of the blaze that killed Mr Faherty. The court was told ...

The Most Unlikely Bull Market in America Right Now By Ian Cooper | Thursday, September 22nd, 2011 There’s a household product you use every single day that has increased more in value this year than gold. It’s even on par with silver, which is up a smokin' hot 38%. Unlike bars of gold or silver, you can buy this product at any Wal-Mart, Home Depot, or Target... But in the weeks and months to come, I expect speculators to buy up all the available supply at these stores in attempts to sell them to consumers at much higher prices. Think of it like professional scalpers who purchase U2 tickets the first day they go on sale, then sell to panicked fans weeks later at a 300% ...

"From award-winning filmmakers Annie Sundberg and Ricki Stern (The Devil Came on Horseback and The Trials of Darryl Hunt) comes the provocative and expertly crafted film, THE END OF AMERICA, based on The New York Times best seller by the same name. In a stunning indictment of sweeping policy changes during the Bush years, author Naomi Wolf (The Beauty Myth) makes a chilling case that American democracy is under threat. Investigating parallels between our current situation and the rise of dictators and fascism in once-free societies, Wolf uncovers a number of deeply unsettling similarities—from the use of paramilitary groups and secret prisons to the targeted suspension of the ...

Vegemite has scored itself another bout of international infamy after foreign minister Kevin Rudd was forced to bring out the might of "ministerial intervention" to get his breakfast through US Customs on Sunday. The suspect little jar of brown stuff that saw Rudd questioned en route from Mexico to New York was actually his breakfast, a supply of emergency Vegemite he'd stashed in his carry-on bag. "Only problem travelling to NY is that they tried to confiscate our Vegemite at the airport. Needed Foreign Ministerial intervention," Rudd tweeted following the incident. Luckily, Mexico's Foreign Service came to the rescue, and the jar was eventually allowed to ...

Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with that expensive double-pane energy efficient kind, and today, I got a call from the contractor who installed them. He was complaining that the work had been completed a whole year ago and I still hadn't paid for them. Hellloooo,............just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I am automatically stupid. So, I told him just what his fast talking sales guy had told me last year, that in ONE YEAR these windows would pay for themselves! Helllooooo? It's been a year! I told him. There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally just hung up. He never called back. I bet he felt like an idiot.
Bullying: An Old Problem in a New Era

Most adults can recall a situation in life when they have been bullied. A substantial proportion of children and adolescents are victimized by their peers at some point during their school years. Generally, these events are limited to playgrounds and hallways of elementary and high schools. However, in recent years, bullying has evolved from what used to be thought of as the "big kid picking on the little kid" to a growing and serious psychosocial and behavioral disorder. The evolution of bullying coincides with the growing access to mobile devices and Internet-based social networking. Management of bullying behavior poses complex social and policy questions for all who are ...

Zurich city parliament on Wednesday rubber-stamped a loan earmarked for the construction of drive-in sex stalls where punters can meet prostitutes at purpose-built venues away from the city centre. Representatives voted 74 to 30 in favour of the new development in Alstetten to the west of the city, Tages-Anzeiger newspaper reported. Ten garage-like booths will be erected on derelict land in an industrial area in Alstetten, complete with parking spaces and alarm buttons. The so-called "performance stalls" will be the first of their kind in Switzerland if the project goes ahead. The city council agreed last week to sanction the 2.4-million franc ($2.8m) loan for the development ...

A Swedish man is set to be evicted from his rental apartment in Gothenburg in western Sweden after complaints from neighbours about his incessant laughter. The middle-aged man is an admitted fan of classic comedic movies from the 1930s and 40s known as pilsnerfilmer ('Pilsner films'), the GT newspaper reports. The man finds the films and other comedies so amusing that he can't help but laugh out loud, much to the dismay of his neighbours, who have filed complaints with municipal property management company Poseidon. To make matters worse for those living nearby, the man has made a habit of watching the films late at night, often resulting in a barrage of hearty guffaws that ...
Sperm bank turns down redheads

The world's largest sperm bank in Denmark has started turning down redheaded donors because there is too little demand for their sperm. Ole Schou, Cryos's director, said that there had been a surge in donations in recent years, allowing the facility to become much more picky about its donors. "There are too many redheads in relation to demand," he told told Danish newspaper Ekstrabladet. "I do not think you chose a redhead, unless the partner - for example, the sterile male - has red hair, or because the lone woman has a preference for redheads. And that's perhaps not so many, especially in the latter case." Mr Schou said the only reliable demand for ...

HARARE, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- China may have provided Zimbabwe with food aid in the past but that gesture appears to have ignited its interest to help Zimbabwe enhance food security. Under the framework of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), China pledged to construct 14 agricultural technological demonstration centers in Africa and later increased the number of centers to 20. Zimbabwe was chosen among the beneficiaries. The main purpose of the centers is to help Africa improve agricultural production and enhance its food security through use of advanced agricultural technology and modern agricultural machinery in the production of high yielding and superior quality food crops. ...
