► SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY : JCI's Conversations with Giants in Medicine: Stephen O'Rahilly. Professor Stephen O'Rahilly's research has led to an increased understanding of the genetic causes of human obesity and insulin resistance. Using modern biochemical approaches and classical clinical observation in humans with profound metabolic disorders, O'Rahilly, from the Departments of Medicine and Clinical Biochemistry at the University of Cambridge, has shown that a person's appetite and feeding behavior can be linked to specific genes. His work has challenged long-held dogmas and led to new treatment avenues. The full interview includes many more stories about how you can learn more from reading Chekhov than medical school and why he has stayed in Cambridge all these years.  Published on May 31, 2013 by Journal of Clinical Investigation

► 101 East : Into the south. More than 5,000 people have been killed in Thailand's restive southern provinces since 2004. The deadly insurgency is shadowy and shapeless. Attacks often come with no formal demands, causing a vicious circle of violence between Malay-Muslim separatist groups and death squads backed by security forces. The innocent live in fear of the next hit. No government in this predominantly Buddhist nation has been able to get a grip on the unrest, despite measures ranging from brutal to conciliatory. Unprecedented high-powered peace talks this year were supposed to signal hope, yet the killings escalated. How will it stop?

► Inside Story : Americas - The case of Baby Veronica. Amongst, the many rulings handed down by the Supreme Court this week, was a decision on a custody battle that could have a major impact on Native American families. The 1978 Indian Child Welfare Act - or ICWA - made it more difficult for children to be removed from their families. It is seen as a landmark in the American Indian rights movement - that virtually ended the controversial practice of taking native american children from their homes, and placing them in foster care loosening cultural ties and jeopardising the future of tribal nations in the process.

► US leaks prompts questions of 'new culture'. A former high ranking US military general is suspected of leaking details of a cyber attack on Iran's nuclear programme. The case is prompting questions about the culture of releasing secret information within the United States. US president's have publicly spoken out against leaks going out from their administrations.

Will we, human animals, even survive the extinction of so many other species?

► FILM : The Terminal Movie Trailer. Shot almost entirely on a two-and-a-half-story recreation of a full-size operating airport terminal, this romantic comedy from director Steven Spielberg revolves around an Eastern European man by the name of Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks), whose plans of immigrating to New York were hastened by a violent coup in his home country. Unfortunately, Viktor finds himself on the wrong end of a nasty technicality while en route to America: His passport was issued from a country, which, during its upheaval, ceased to exist in an official capacity. Unauthorized to leave Kennedy Airport upon his arrival and unable to return home, Viktor finds himself exiled inside the terminal's international transit lounge. Though airport official Frank Dixon (Stanley Tucci) views Viktor as an annoying bureaucratic glitch, other airport employees -- including a beautiful flight attendant by the name of Amelia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) -- come to see him as a welcome, if unofficial, addition to their numbers. As the days stretch on into months, the terminal transforms from an intimidating atmosphere of forced assimilation into a country within itself, complete with culture, ambition, status, complex diversity, and the need for love. The supporting cast includes Diego Luna, Chi McBride, Kumar Pallana, Zoe Saldana, Eddie Jones, and Jude Ciccolella. Published on Jun 26, 2012 by SuperMovieJunkie

In more than fifty years of broadcasting, Sir David Attenborough has travelled the globe to document the living world in all its wonder. Now, in the landmark series First Life, he goes back in time in search of the very first animals.

David Attenborough's First Life is told with stunning photography, state of the art visual effects and the captivating charm of the world's favourite naturalist. It was first broadcast as a two-part series in the UK on BBC Two in November 2010, and as a two-hour special by Discovery Channel in the US. It is now being shown by broadcasters around the world, including the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

The epic story of the beginning of life on Earth from the much loved and respected naturalist, writer and broadcaster, Sir David Attenborough.

Spanning billions of years, First Life reveals the extraordinary story of the evolution of the first life on Earth and how it then evolved into multicellular life, the first plant, the first animal, the first predator, the first to live on land: key moments in the development of the huge diversity of life that has lived on planet Earth.

First Life travels the world, from Canada to Australia, Morocco to Scotland, to unearth the secrets hidden in prehistoric fossils and meet the palaeontologists who have harnessed new techniques to enhance greatly our understanding of the origins of life.

■ Search for Scapegoat: US tries to demonize Snowden to smother his revelations. While a media war breaks out over supporting or hating Edward Snowden, as little airtime as possible is actually dedicated to the spying on unsuspected citizens itself.  ||  ■ Unlike: Jihadi terrorists dodge PRISM with anti-social networks. The PRISM surveillance program mainly focuses on access to the US biggest corporations like Skype, Google, or iCloud, while terrorists use what a 2012 report titled "core forums", which are part of the Deep Web, or Undernet, RT's Irina Galushko reports. That section isn't indexed by search engines nor, consequently, by PRISM.

I have a big dream in the field of science. There are a lot of scientists are working hard to solve the structure of DNA abnormalities. So, rather than looking for solutions on how to fix the damage around the anus and mouth or find cutting-edge medicine for AIDS prevention, then it is better they deepen the science of studying chromosome surgical.

Of course this dream does not include the efforts to retrospection of the wife, (Note: Woman with original vagina) who caught her husband (man with normal penis) involved a gay relationship with his fellow man just because the husband experiencing a communication gap with his wife, for example, which resulted in bias in sexual orientation.

So, I just wonder why they are cheering. After all, they have to know themselves. Married? Legitimacy? Ok, then what? Then what you want to do with the wedding? Have children? Yeah? Prove to me that men could get pregnant just for having oral sex and anal sex with other men, and women can get pregnant without fertilization by sperm the egg cell. ehehehe ...You can't. Then you adoptchildren. Then what? Being happy with life in such pseudo? Are you sure? ehehhehe, I rarely see a good friend of volatility is introspective. But I'm sure a condition will always be familiar with the unspeakable things in themselves.

MONKEY TODAY

A FLAME TODAY

You should listen to me
I sing wander
between the trunks of Europe wine

and in the wind,
Asian wind.
The best of all human life
and of life,
from the fineness of the earth,
and true peace
I store in my life overseas.
The best of the earth
and from another Earth
I'm tacking on my lips
with my song:
freedom of the wind,
peace in the wine garden.
Sometimes people are hostile to each other
but the evening is the veil
for all
and the light of the king
inspire us;
light the world
And when it comes to me in the homes
they sit around the table
 they come back from work
with tears or laughter.
All the same.
All eyes looking for the light.
All mouth to sing
spring song.
All.
Thus, I am among the trunks of wine
and in the wind
choose
the best in people.
And you should listen to me.
