The rules of Nature can neither be changed nor be challenged and when it comes to Human’s physical form, it is deeply guided by the simple truth that no man can live without food and water. If we are to challenge this law to some extent and search the history then even superior being like Gautam Buddha succeeded to survive for 49 days without food and water under Bodhi tree in search for enlightenment.

Looks like history have once again repeated as Twenty two years old Ram Bahadur Bomjon born on April 10, 1990 in Ratnapuri village, Bara District of Nepal is believed to have undergone fasting for more than 6 months during the Year from 2005 to 2006.

Washington: A huge chunk of ice broke off on Monday from Antarctic's Pine Island glacier, the longest and fastest flowing glacier in the frozen continent, and is now flowing as a very large iceberg in the Amundsen Sea.

Scientists of the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research have been following this natural spectacle via the earth observation satellites TerraSAR-X from the German Space Agency (DLR) and have documented it in many individual images.

The data is intended to help solve the physical puzzle of this "calving".

London: Doctors have given their thumbs up to yoga for expecting mothers, claiming that it is one of the best things women can do to stay healthy during their pregnancy.

GP Dr. Julian Spinks told a UK publication that the main advantage is that yoga is very gentle on the body.

Spinks said that the problem in pregnancy is that a lot of joints loosen up and with intense physical exercise there is a danger of suffering things such as back pain. He asserted that yoga encourages gentle stretching which can alleviate this problem.

He insisted that it also has very positive effects on the mother`s emotional well-being.

Spinks added that

Workplace romance can always be risky, especially if you’re having an affair with the boss.

BERLIN: Scientists have found that an overactive signalling pathway is a common cause in cases of pilocytic astrocytoma, the most frequent type of brain cancer in children.

Scientists coordinated by the German Cancer Research Center (as part of the International Cancer Genome Consortium, ICGC) in 96 gemone analyses of pilocytic astrocytomas found defects in genes involved in a particular pathway.

They believe that drugs can be used to help affected children by blocking components of the signalling cascade.

Pilocytic astrocytomas are the most common childhood brain tumours. These tumours usually grow very slowly. However, they are often difficult t

The Heart in Colorado design is the shape of state of Colorado with a heart that represents the state flag and mountain markers representing the 14ner. This design might seem simple but it was a difficult design to come up with because Colorado State is a rectangular shape and is has an identically shaped state directly to the north, Wyoming.

The challenge was putting a heart into the state and have everyone knowing that it is Colorado and not Wyoming. To start, we looked at what Colorado is known for, which is their mountains. We also noticed that it has a great state flag. If you have never seen the flag, it is blue and white stripped, with a red "C" and a gold cir

Toddler Fun thought it might be worth providing all the Dads out there with a little advice on bonding with your toddler. This can often be an issue as mother and child are bonding long before she gives birth and, in most cases, mother is the primary care-giver.

Dear Dads,
Don’t feel left out! Here are 10 tips to help you bond with your toddler.

1)Touch them. Touch is one of the best ways to communicate with a little one for whom communication is all about sights, sounds and feelings. Your toddler already reacts to the feel and smell of its mother – get involved too! For example, bathe your toddler or offer skin-to-skin contact by letting your

Los Angeles, July 9 : Singer Avril Lavigne had goosebumps when she was walked down the aisle to wed musician Chad Kroege, but that day and moment is inked in her memories forever, she says.   The couple wed last month in Chateau near Cannes in southern France.   "I had goosebumps from head to toe and my eyes filled with tears. It's a moment I will never forget as long as I live," Hello! magazine quoted Lavigne as saying.   "My body was overtaken by emotion. I saw him and he was so calm and happy.

Siddhartha Gautama, who would one day become known as Buddha ("enlightened one" or "the awakened"), lived in Northern India during the 6th to 4th century B.C. While scholars agree that he did in fact live, the events of his life are still debated. According to the most widely known story of his life, after experimenting with different teachings for years, and finding none of them acceptable, Gautama spent a fateful night in deep meditation. During his meditation, all of the answers he had been seeking became clear, and achieved full awareness, thereby becoming Buddha.
Early Years

The Buddha, or "enlightened one," was born Siddhartha (whi

      
  To fully appreciate the significance of the Commonwealth, Britain's global position, it is important to understand its origins from the British Empire.  Technically, there have been three empires, the first in France, lost by 1558; the second in North America, which became the United States of America after 1776; and the third was global, which became the modern Commonwealth of Nations after 1949. Each one being larger than the one before. That's something of a distillation of the Britannic heritage of the Commonwealth. It is striking that when one looks around the world at the

Earth was farthest from sun on its elliptical orbit on Friday and was less intense than previous days, scientific bodies said. Earth was 152 million km astronomically far from sun. This phenomenon is called aphelion, scientists said. On January 2 this year, earth was at its closest point (perihelion) to the sun at a distance of 147 million km, and people had experienced a comparatively warmer day.

According to Nasa a distant Sun means less sunlight for the planet.

Sunlight falling on earth at aphelion is about 7% less intense than it is at perihelion. Also at aphelion, the sun appears smaller in the sky by 1.7% and global solar heating is less by 3.5% than the y

Sexual dysfunction is a common underreported and largely under-appreciated complication of diabetes.

A large number of cases go unrecognised owing naturally to the traditional reluctance both on the part of the patient as well as the physician in discussing such issues which are considered too personal to be discussed outside the bedroom. It is now well known that diabetes has a major impact on both male as well as female sexual functioning. Just as a good blood sugar control is necessary to lead a healthy life free from the well known complications of diabetes on kidney, eye, nerve, foot and heart, it is also very important for leading a normal sexual life.
