To be the most powerful man in an important world country is no doubt unforgettable experience. Tony Blair, the former British Prime Minister thinks so, and thatâs probably why he decided to publish his own memoir. In age of 54 he wants to put all his thoughts about his time as a Member of Parliament and Prime Minister. Better now, when his memory is still good. The publisher of this bookshelf-jewel will be Random House, the worldâs biggest book publisher. The date of publication or the price of money Blair will receive has not been revealed yet. Tony Blair was born as Anthony Charles Lynton Blair on May 6 1953. His past was undoubtedly connected with rock music. Before he begins his study in the University of Oxford, he wanted to make his money as a rock music promoter. As a student, he played guitar and sang for a rock band. In a recent interview revealed another famous Briton, Ozzy Osbourne, that rock music is still a passion for Tony Blair. Osbourne said that Blair asked him how to play Iron Man, because he is playing that with mistakes. But readers of Blairsâ memoir most probably wonât find these informations in the new book. If he wants to reflect his years he spent as a leader of United Kingdom, he will concentrate on other stories. He may be writing about birth of his son Leo, who was the first child born to a serving Prime Minister in 150 years, or what he thinks about George Michael video, which has portrayed him as a dog. Anyways, memoir of someone who has led a country (no matter which one) is always interesting reading.

The worst danger for kids is in the kitchen by Nina Gotzmannova
When the baby is born, everyone tells the new-parents, that the biggest risk for their child is in their kitchen. Clumsy and unconcerned baby can touch the cooking stove, spill hot soup, cut itself on a piece of glass or eat something small and begin to choke. But nobody ever told parents of a newborn that the biggest danger in the kitchen is hiding in the fridge and in the shelves. Yes, we are talking about the unhealthy fat and sweet food that kids like to eat at most. Regularly eating at fast foods, sitting in front of TV or behind the computer screen, soft drinks from vending machines, eating chips, French fries and lots of sweets - that all is a direct way to hospital. The number of kids hospitalized due to health problems caused by obesity has tripled, showed a new study released on Wednesday. In 1998 there were 40 out of every 10,000 children in hospital because he or she was too fat. In 2004 the number of hospitalized kids and teenagers was 120. Kids are coming into hospital, because they have high blood pressure, gall bladder stones and sleep apnea. These problems are mostly between adult obese people, not among kids. Because of their unhealthy lifestyle they suffer sooner than necessary. But the problem begins at home. Parents who often eat at fast food or restaurants are representing a bad example for kids. Instead they should try to cook at home some low fat and healthy meal, eat more fruit and vegetables and totally stop drinking soft drinks. One can of average Pepsi or Sprite has as many calories as two grapes, three oranges or as 100 grams of a roasted chicken breasts.

"Oh, where did I leave my glasses, was it on this table? But in this room? What is this for a room? â¦Do I wear glasses? I surely made that curtain my daughter is ironing & but wait & that is a daughter? I'm not sure, I'm just not sure. Why would I have a daughter anyways? Have I been married? I won't cut myself, I won't!!!" The brain hardening, as people used to call the mysterious changes in behavior of older people, or the "Alzheimer's", is a neurodegenerative disease usually found in older people's brains & by people over 65 years old. It was first discovered on one beautiful day in year 1901 by Dr. Alois Alzheimer, who was a German psychiatrist. He found it in a 50-year-old woman's case. Her name was Auguste Deter. She was over 40 years old when first symptoms of dementia appeared in her behavior: loss of memory, delusions, temporary vegetative states (state very similar to coma), trouble with sleeping (she usually screamed at night and dragged her sheets around the house). When her husband Karl couldn't take it anymore, he brought her to a hospital in Frankfurt where she was examined and taken care of by Dr. Alzheimer. He asked her the same questions every few days to see if she remembered, but after few years she became completely mindless and died in April of 1906. In November Dr.Alzheimer decided to publicize this curious case. There is no cure; the available medications might only help patient's memory in some cases.

The Mighty Milers program keeps kids up and running by Corina Ciubotaru
Obesity is a growing concern all over the world and we are constantly being told what to eat, where the fattest people are and that being slim is the only way you can truly enjoy your life. Not many foundations or programs are doing anything though, expect for studies, and most of us are left wondering how we can lose weight and gain happiness, at least for our children if there is no hope left for us. The Mighty Milers program is trying to do just that: 20,000 kids have joined and are running three times a week in their schools, about 20 laps or the equivalent of a mile and they love every minute of it. Jogging is a great way to lose weight and get stronger bones, but for these kids it's also fun because they get to do it with their friends, compete and win prizes for their progress. They also lose weight and become more energetic and the creators of this program hope that jogging will become a lifetime hobby for them and that the next generation will be healthier and fitter. Obesity is a major health risk for people all over the world and it can lead to other diseases such as diabetes and heart problems. Unhealthy food eating habits and lack of physical exercise are what trigger obesity and it's better to educate kids so that they won't become overweight adults than assault them with diets later on, when they become teenagers and start to worry about their looks.

Bill and Melinda Gates, the world's wealthiest couple, has another thing to âplay' with. They decided to fight malaria and exterminate it from the Earth surface. The pair just decided to say stop to this disease and help all the people who suffer from it or who live in malaria affected region. Melinda Gates said that anything short of eradication would be a bad business decision. The prominent couple recently donates $ 860 million to malaria programs trough the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and another $ 650 million to support the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. This act showed their decision is absolute and with no exceptions. Melinda Gates also said that although the fight with malaria in 1950s and 1960s in United States and other developed countries was successful, it doesn't mean that the fight has ended. Other parts of the world still suffer from danger of infection of this deadly disease. Each year almost 650 million people catch malaria and one to three million dies. Unfortunately most of them are young children in Sub-Saharan Africa and mostly this is the reason, why the Gates couple wants to eradicate the disease. There are already developed some new, successful vaccines to use for kids. It is safe for infants and more effective in preventing new infections. Another way how to fight malaria is to develop medications and control the insects, which spread the disease. Bill Gates is the richest man of the world. He can obviously afford to spend more money to fight a lot of disease, not only malaria. Most possibly he would be able to save lot of African countries with providing food, drinks, medications, blankets and more. So why just fight one disease? Why not to try to save with his billions the world? There is a big chance he can do itâ¦

All the people around the globe knows, that fat people are in the United States and United Kingdom, their successful life allows them to eat at restaurants, pick unhealthy but tasty foods and eat more than they would do normally. On the other side the privilege to have much money is because they spent unbelievable amounts of time at work and don't even have time to eat. Only in fast-food. Another unhealthy habit and the population grows bigger and bigger. The government wants to change that. It is known that obese people have increased cholesterol and are in bigger risk of coronary heart disease. The Health Secretary Alan Johnson has asked the Food Standards Agency to look at the risk and maybe force the food industry to using less unhealthy and dangerous trans fat. The government isn't acting with any reason. The newest report about health of the population has showed that by the year 2050 may be obese more than half of men and almost half of women. The effect government is worried about is the financial effect. Obesity-related disease already cost the National Health Service about £1 billion and the government £ 2.6 billion. In 2050 the sum of the money spend on obese people may be £ 45.5 billion and this number scared the British government. If people will obey that they weight is only their private thing, the government will have a strong argument against it. They may ratify a law saying if people would not like to participate in the governmental health program, they will pay all the cost of their medical treatment caused by obesity by themselves. And that's not someone would like to do.

Another study on teens problems regarding weight has been performed by the University of Minnesota. More than 2500 teenagers revealed some new things and also reinforced previous discoveries in this field. The main problem is that both over-weight and too thin teens abuse laxatives and are provoking the vomiting. All this being caused by the way the society perceives the human body, therefore body attitudes plays a very big role. Dianne Neumark-Sztainer, lead author of the study, states that this type of measures, like purging or abusing laxatives, diet pills or diuretics are all short-term solutions because on a longer term it will lead to the gain of more pounds and eventually to over-weight people. 44 percent of the girls and 22 percent of the boys confessed to have taken such measures considered to be extreme measures. According to Neumark-Sztainer everything is due to the self-esteem and body dissatisfaction. Another conclusion of the study was that girl who are teased about their weight are more exposed to the eating disorder and to be over-weight in five years in comparison to other girls. A general advice was that grownups should focus more on building the children self esteem than the obesity risk. Dr. Joel Jahraus, medical director of the Park Nicollet Methodist Hospital Eating Disorders Institute in Minneapolis, says that parents should send a balance message rather than cramming their children's head with diets. Teens should be more interested in developing a personality than to reach the perfect size. However, because we live in an aesthetic society, where appearances count a lot, usually we forget what is more important, that beauty fades with time and the soul is all that we have. Parents and people must lose the attitude they have towards children with a higher risk of obesity. Pressure will only lead to a desire of losing weight fast and therefore to an actually gain of weight. The study recommends family meals, in a more comfortable and relaxing environment. Don't forget, whenever you tease someone about the way she/he looks you might be responsible of her/his doom. Keep it natural!

Jogging. What a wonderful alternative for the morning caffeine. For the morning routine of fixing your family members' breakfast and for making coffee. This exercise helps you gain all the energy you need for the whole day, it boosts up your organism and lifts your spirits. You are happy because you are not only doing a favor to yourself, but also your environment appreciates your new self and the better mood. And it is a peaceful kind of sport, too. You need no loud machines, no special gloves, racket or helmet. You don't even necessarily have to seek a partner. It's perfect! â¦How come it is not a triumphant smile on my Jenna's face when she returns from the dam? It is six-thirty in the morning and the water pot for Peter's coffee is whistling. Jenna needs no coffee. She kicks off her trainers, rushes into the shower and comes out 10 minutes later with a palmy expression on her face. There, she did it again, plus the shower afterwards feels simply too good! The only partners a jogger should seek are athletic shoes. To make her morning jog less repugnant, Jenna tried different brands and categories of athletic shoes. She tried the high-tops, low-tops, mid-cut or sneaker boots, but she still didn't figure out which ones rule. After several months she discovered that the comfort of her feet is not dependant on the price she pays for shoes. It's not the manufacturer's logo that matters; it is all about the cushioning. To find a top-sprung brand of shoes, the sole secret is to know how long which brand's cushioning lasts. This discovery is up to us.

Self-discipline can protect the brain from Alzheimer's disease by Nina Gotzmannova
The science and the health care are going forward with mile steps. Now the researchers from Chicago Rush University Medical Center discovered what can help against getting the Alzheimer's disease. It's nothing easier than conscientiousness or just self-discipline. The analysis was studying almost one thousand older religious persons for twelve years. In the beginning of the research no one was suffering from dementia or other signs of Alzheimer's disease. The priests, nuns and brothers have completed a survey about themselves and about their self-discipline habits. The conscientiousness scores were based on the answers. Their average age was 75 years. All the participants were yearly tested for cognitive decline and dementia. After the twelve years 176 of them developed Alzheimer's disease. The brains of those who died during the research were studied during an autopsy. But surprise came with the brains of people with high conscientiousness score. The researchers realized although their brains have some signs of Alzheimer's disease, the persons were not demented. Their dutifulness had helped them. According to the survey they had completed there is 89 percent lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease for dutiful persons. However the scientists admit this group of people was little bit unusual. But combined with other risk factors they still had 54 percent less chance to become an Alzheimer's disease patient. Previous studies had proved that people who were doing stimulating activities like working puzzles have lowered their risk of getting the disease, while people who were stressed at work or worrying about their liver had the risk increased. Probably the mental stimulating activities can produce more neural connections and work like a protection against dementia.
