SCIENCEDAILY 7 May 2012 : Caffeine Can Prevent Memory Loss in Diabetes. Badly controlled diabetes are known to affect the brain causing memory and learning problems and even increased incidence of dementia, although how this occurs is not clear. But now a study in mice with type 2 diabetes has discovered how diabetes affects a brain area called hippocampus causing memory loss, and also how caffeine can prevent this. ||SCIENCE DAILY 7 November 2012 : Caffeine Improves Recognition of Positive Words ||SCIENCE DAILY  19 Feb. 19, 2013: Caffeine Linked to Low Birth Weight Babies  ||
I was looking for linkages between the use of caffeine in coffee, tea, soft drinks, and energy drinks and nicotine in Tobacco smoking.  You drink tea is not good for the kidneys. You drink and soft drinks and energy drinks are not good for blood sugar balance. You drink coffee is not good for the heart. So, the best drink for us is, sorry, let me choose for us (at least "for us" here means my family: My fiance, me, and our baby) just two things: Clean Water and Fresh Fruit Juices. And I do not really care what  is said by the research of the scientists on this subject. ehehehhe, sorry. More About Caffeine in SCIENCE DAILY. Ops, there's still one thing left. I also did not hesitate tom cross out the liquor menu from our drinks list. If once in a while we need a "weirdness" for intimacy in our relationship, we do sports together. Or we do not talk to each other for days like two strangers who never knew each other before. Thankfully, even though we are different in every way, but still there is a similarity between us : the awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle.  And he understands it, he appreciates the principle of my life. What's the point I am living with him if he just gets me exposed to the disease, for example, because of his smoking habit? Oh. No, thanks. I would rather live alone and I can call him once in a while, and then we go to Smokeless Cigarette Dating, perhaps? eehhehhe ....

Brisk business for Texas gun sellers. While Houston hosts the annual convention of the gun lobby NRA, its northern neighbor Fort Worth holds one of the state's biggest gun shows. Gun dealers and show organizers say business has been good since the shooting at Sandy Hook elementary school.
It is wrong if they buy guns to protect themselves. One condition that will happen is shootout between residents. The problem is, who's shooting who? And who dies first? If you're still alive, shoot them! If they are still alive, you die!

So, how it seems? Very cool is not it? So, find a way to die with ease in America: Buy a gun. So, what nation since its ancestor is fond of with terror? The answer is clear: the United State of America. Live to terrorize each other is American culture. Bravo bravo! ahhaha .... Sorry if you are offended. Are you American? Be honest with yourself.

If there are Arabs/ everyone who looks like the following: bearded, turbaned, and all types as shown by Osama bin Laden for example, attacking you, you said it is an act of terror. Good. Terrorism. Good. And you, with your shameless conduct of military invasion, to and fro, to all corners of the world in the name of combating terrorism acts. Good. And you feel like a hero in someone else's country. Good. It's good for you. Meanwhile, if the  unarmed citizens feel terrorized by the misuse of guns in your own country, what would you say to that condition? Live happily with the terrorists? If you're shooting at each other among your citizens, living in fear (because if you do not want to die because you are shot by the guns then you should be shooting with guns to those who would kill you at any time. Who are they? Your fellow citizens!) then what you would call for such a condition? Live in peace, hm?

Damn you, NRA! You are a hypocrite. Shameless. Thus,  Hypocrite, Shameless and Terrorism are the American culture.  If you find your face is bad, do not break the mirror, America!

(Not surprisingly, Cisca! After all, the former U.S. president also die due to gun violence.) ... ehehehhe ...

Nerve Attack: Syria govt, rebels play blame game over chemical weapon use. A leading UN investigator says there are strong suspicions rebels in Syria have used the deadly nerve gas Sarin during the civil war. But Carla del Ponte also insists she has seen no evidence the government has resorted to the use of chemical weapons. Those claims are in contrast to an earlier statement by the U.S. who has accused President Assad's forces of using them, and threatened to take action. Eric Denece, from the French Centre for Intelligence Studies, told us Syrian rebels may have received chemical weapons from abroad.

Thousands in Russia demand new elections, release of prisoners
This demand is exactly like the whining of a wife who filed for divorce to her husband at the time of her husband had just come home from work to make a living for the family needs. Even if the situation is right to ask for divorce, but a prudent wife is not going to do it on inopportune time. So, at least, wait until the next election. I can see how Putin loves you all, Russians! ((Do not knowingly, Cisca!) Do not play smartass! If you think your fiance loves you so much, it does not mean those who protested to Mr Putin also feel loved by him. )
