Sexually transmitted disease is attributed to urinating under a full moon. People with buda, "evil eye," are said to be able to harm others by looking at them. Ethiopians often complain of rasehn, "my head" (often saying it burns); yazorehnyal, "spinning" (not a true vertigo); and libehn, "my heart" (usually indicating dyspepsia rather than a cardiac problem). Most Ethiopians have faith in traditional healers and procedures. In children, uvulectomy (to prevent presumed suffocation during pharyngitis in babies), the extraction of lower incisors (to prevent diarrhea), and the incision of eyelids (to prevent or cure conjunctivitis) are common.

This probably explains the damn hot weather these days.

Interesting message left by hacker. I think they are called white hat or black hat hackers as opposed to white or black hackers.

Blackberry manufacturers confirmed it. But I don't understand why do they need to put software on your mobile to intercept, if they own the servers that these message pass through in the first place. To circumvent https/ssl encryption?

CAIRO: Silence dawned on the Sayeda Zeinab district yesterday, the first day of annual celebration of the birth of Sayeda Zeinab, the prophet’s granddaughter. The typical sight of colorful swings, game stands, sweet and gift vendors were no where to be seen.

Too much empathy is not good. To lapse into maudlin imaginations of another’s experience can be presumptive, invasive, and uncomfortable. The exposing of vulnerability might be constructive or destructive to health, relationships, and wellbeing. To step too far into another’s shoes can sap the very resourcefulness needed by both parties. Perhaps empathy is best displayed when it acknowledges suffering, with merely one foot in the shoe of another.

Darwin's great, still controversial book 'On the Origin of Species' depicts nature as a battleground. In CREATION the battleground is a man's heart. Torn between his love for his deeply religious wife and his own growing belief in a world where God has no place, Darwin finds himself caught in a struggle between faith and reason, love and truth.

Mild depressive symptoms can therefore be seen as a natural part of dealing with failure in young adulthood. They set in when a goal is identified as unreachable and lead to a decline in motivation. In this period of low motivation, energy is saved and new goals can be found. If this mechanism does not function properly, though, severe depression can be the consequence.

Risk of developing cancers that are sensitive to dietary factors decreases. Fish eaters are least prone to blood cancer for unknown reasons. Size and design of study is amazing which, IMO, decreases the effects of confounding variables.
