Sebastian Vettel is the new-old world champion in Formula 1. The German finished in third place in the Grand Prix of Japan, it was enough to secure the world title four rounds before the end of the season.
His only possible rival for the title Jenson Button did what it wanted - victory, but this proved insufficient.
So by the end of the season will be fighting for second place in the standings, which currently Button has the best chance.
Fernando Alonso finished second even in today's race and still hopes he can finish the season in second place. In the column back Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa for the second time its neat spectacular fight, again came in a small accident.
In the end, Hamilton finished 5th behind Mark Webber. Felipe Massa remained even until the seventh, taking the sound made the race Michael Schumacher.

Volkswagen enters the World Rally Championship (WRC)
The automaker will participate in the race with Polo R WRC "and will participate in the competition between these factory teams of Citroen, Ford and Mini, which starts this weekend in the Rally of Sardinia.
"We look forward to this new challenge. We work on the project with the same passion with which we won the Dakar Rally in the last three years," said the director of the department of motor sports Volkswagen Chris Nissen.
For the company's entry in the WRC is spoken by about 3 years and as a major motivation indicating potential withdrawal at the end of the season with a dominating seven consecutive world titles for Citroen Sebastien Loeb. The German team will have a record budget of 100 million.
In the ranks of motorsport there were comments that the vast amount implies the withdrawal of Volkswagen in the Dakar Rally, dominated after penetration with relatively the same annual budget. These claims now remain officially unconfirmed.
"We can rely on an experienced and proven team that work great in the sport at the highest level in recent years. WRC is a new area for us and we must learn in many ways," said Nissen. He added that Volkswagen will do, thanks to their professionalism. As a consultant to the team will include four-time World Rally Champion and the first pilot in the Dakar Carlos Sainz.
Volkswagen enters the World Rally Championship with a budget of 100 million
WRC offers a variety of competitions against other popular sports car. Teams are drawn from various surfaces, in which pilots show their skills. Along with great technical resemblance to production cars, these are the main factors that have caused Volkswagen to present the possibilities of "Polo" in the WRC.
This year the calendar includes 13 races on four continents. This season introduced some technological innovations, the most significant of which is the 1.6-liter turbocharged four that are considered the main reason for the entry of Volkswagen in the WRC.
Oil fell to a record $ 16 per week
Oil prices continue to become cheaper in Friday trading on Friday as the variety "Brent" finished the week with prices lower by unprecedented over 16 dollars a barrel to start on Monday.
The largest decline was recorded on Thursday, when the depreciation was $ 12 in wild session sell-off of huge amounts of real and futures contracts.
The reason is concern about demand and reduction of investors' positions in commodity markets.
Explanations for analysts are the most different - from the effect of eradication of Osama bin Laden in the monetary actions of leading economies to try to avoid stifling demand excessive prices.
It was a domino effect because the vacuum created by fewer buyers and more sellers, told Reuters Tom Benz, director of trading commodity futures in New York the banking group BNP Paribas.
This spring, oil aspire to record levels since 2008. As "Brent" touched a level of $ 127 a barrel and U.S. light crude - $ 114.
Brent, however, fell on Friday with another $ 1.67 and reached $ 109.13 a barrel as sales volumes were twice higher than the average indicator for the 30-day period.
Contracts for this variety were concluded at prices lower by 16.76 dollar to levels a week earlier. This is the greatest week in history in dollar depreciation.
U.S. light crude was selling for $ 97.18 a barrel, which is cheaper per week to $ 16.75 - the biggest since 1983. now, since records began marketing the variety.
The final blow dealt speculative news that on Friday the euro zone finance ministers have discussed option of leaving the club by Greece of the single currency - something that was categorically denied by Athens, but predizika appreciation of the dollar.
Another factor was concern that the U.S. can stop its program in June for the printing of dollars and gaining federal debt - something that flooded the markets with U.S. currency and raised the price of oil in dollar dimensions.
The third cause concern in India by lifting interest rates and expectations that China, № 2 oil consumer in the world, may soon follow.
Banking group Goldman Sachs, which was predicted in April slump this week, warned that in 2012. Oil may surpass this year's peak due to shortage of raw material market and in particular if the Libyan oil does not return soon to the exchanges.

77 percent expect revenue growth of applications for phones in 2011
Total revenues of the four main store for mobile applications - those of Apple, Google, Nokia and RIM, will grow from 77% to a total of 3.8 billion dollars this year.
The lion's share of about 75% of these revenues is expected to grab from the App Store of Apple, shows an analysis of IHS Screen Digest.
"Against the backdrop of continuing strong and undying interest of consumers to download games and other applications for devices such as smartphones and Tablet PCs, the total revenue of the four major stores will increase significantly this year," said analyst Jack Kent for IHS.
In 2010, four stores had total revenues of 2,1 billion dollars a year earlier, revenues were 830.6 million dollars. In 2008, the only application store was App Store, as its revenues were 206 million dollars.
During the next few years, revenues of stores applications to continue to increase at a rapid pace. The outlook for 2012 is 5.6 billion dollars for 2013 to 6.9 billion dollars for 2014 to 8.3 billion dollars.
With regard to the application downloads is expected that by the end of this year will be reported total 18.1 billion downloads. Last year they were 9.5 million, and forecast for 2014 is that there will be about 33 billion downloads of applications.
Apple
Hardly anyone will be a surprise, but App Store, Apple is ahead of its competitors. For this year we expect revenue growth of 63.4 percent to 2.91 billion dollars. Given that the products of Apple iPhone, iPad and iPod are leaders in their segments, the company is expected to grab 76% of total revenues of the four stores this year.
Estimates are that, despite increasing competition Apple will be able to maintain a market share of at least 60% over the next three years.
Google
Analysts' expectations in 2011 were the largest revenue growth to be achieved by store Google Android Market. Forecasts are for growth of 295.4 percent to 425.36 million dollars, which is a serious request for the second position in the sector.
RIM
Last year, the second highest revenue of the four shops was that of Research in Motion (RIM). The company that makes smartphones Blackberry, will give way to Android Market, despite growth in revenues from 69.2 percent to 279.11 million dollars.
Regarding downloads of applications, RIM has worst - only 772.2 downloads. In comparison, App Store downloads are 10.3 billion, and if Android Market - 5,8 billion
Nokia
Finally in revenue this year is expected to be Ovi Store of Nokia. At 1.1 billion downloads store the Finnish company will reach 201.48 million dollars, says the analysis.

Earnings of Berkshire Hathaway, with 58% drop
Warren Buffett's conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway Inc announced on Friday that first-quarter profit fell by 58% from a year earlier because of insurance losses related to major natural disasters in Japan, New Zealand and Australia, reported AP
The sharp drop answer the preliminary results outlined by Buffett's annual shareholders meeting last Saturday.
Berkshire's net profit for the quarter to end-March amounted to 1.5 billion dollars or 917 dollars per share Class A year earlier it was 3.6 billion, or 2,272 dollars per share.
Revenue rose to 33.7 billion dollars from 32 billion a year ago.
The biggest problem for the results during the quarter are insurance losses worth 1.7 billion dollars related to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan on March 11 earthquake in New Zealand on 22 February and floods in Australia.
"This probably was the second worst quarter for the insurance industry in terms of disasters worldwide," said Buffett told shareholders.
Despite losing zastrohovatelniya business conglomerate has contributed 131 million dollars to Berkshire's net profit for the quarter, which is significantly less than 1,2 billion dollars a year earlier.
Berkshire owns about 80 subsidiaries, including companies from the textile, furniture and jewelry sector. Insurance business and utility companies usually form more than half of net profit of the company. Berkshire also has major investments in companies like Coca-Cola Co. and Wells Fargo & Co.
The results of the conglomerate are backed by strong performance of the railway company Burlington Northern Santa Fe, which acquired a year ago. Railway segment has contributed 607 million dollars to net profit to 282 million a year earlier, although the results for the previous year does not include the entire quarter.
Manufacturing, retail trade and services have generated a profit of 558 million dollars, more than 477 million dollars a year earlier.
Utility companies and those from the energy sector, which includes MidAmerican Energy, has added 301 million dollars to Berkshire's net profit to 223 million dollars a year ago.
The quarterly report does not mention David Sokol, former manager of Berkshire, tipped to succeed Buffett, whose sudden resignation at the end of the quarter set up a scandal and prompted examination of the U.S. Commission on securities and stock transactions.

Bloomberg presented a budget to New York for 66 billion dollars
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg presented the revised budget of the city of around 66 billion dollars, which does not provide for increases in taxes, but relies on cuts in about 7000 employees, Reuters reported.
Although the city already spends most of its reserves, even that will not be enough to avoid redundancy of some employees, including teachers, "said Bloomberg, who is not tied to any party, during a news conference.
The school system, which is the largest in the country with over 1 million students would be cut about 6000 teachers. These are the first layoffs of teachers for decades.
Politicians in New York have long complained that the city sent to federal and state government billions more tax revenue than it receives in aid. The problem is particularly acute today, Bloomberg said, because Washington and Albany completed their deficits by cutting billions in funds to cities and counties.

Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley
Manny Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38 KO) was his reputation as the best boxer in the world in 2010 further requirements. After Fights against Joshua Clottey and Antonio Margarito now no boxing expert doubts the outstanding quality of the Phillipino. For Mosley (46-6-1, 39 KO) in 2010 was rather mixed. He lost in May against P4P No. 1 Floyd Mayweather Jr. on points, and his fight against Sergio Mora in September was anything worth seeing. The draw was also rather flattering to Shane Mosley.
The bookmakers have no doubts about a Pacquiao victory. It is faster, harder, and overall the better boxer, as the aging of Shane Mosley.

Earth Day 2011
Earth Day was first proclaimed in 1970 in the U.S. and Canada, is celebrated internationally since 1990, holiday in Bulgaria noted the 1993 goal is to unite people on the planet in environmental protection.
On April 22, 1970 was first celebrated International Day of the Earth. And millions of Americans participate in the demonstration and urge politicians, statesmen, business circles to include in their priorities of environmental protection. The first celebration of Earth Day is organized by Gaylord Nelson - former governor and senator from Wisconsin who raised the cause of conservation and Dennis Heyes - a prominent student leader. In the events of the first Earth Day to include more than 20 million Americans from all over the country. As a result of this event formed a powerful movement to protect the environment and have adopted laws on clean air and clean water of the United States.
Earth Day - April 22, is the largest non-religious holiday celebrated the world over half a billion people. Each year the International Network for Earth Day coordinate more than 12,000 partners in 174 countries aimed at protecting the Earth and preserve life on it. Network aims to create a broad civil support for sustainable and effective environmental policies for development worldwide.
Bulgaria is one of the first countries that joined the international celebration of Earth Day, which began in 1990 in the International Organizing Committee for the celebration of Earth Day, Bulgaria is represented by Blagovest Sendov. He formed the National Committee for Earth Day. The call for the celebration of Earth Day to respond thousands of Bulgarians and the day is celebrated with various events devoted to environmental protection. On April 22, 1992 President of the Republic of Bulgaria Zhelev signed the oath in the name of Earth. Over 30,000 Bulgarian children are signed under the Declaration of authority for life on Earth. The declaration was presented to the UN Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992 Every year thereafter, Bulgaria participated in the celebration of Earth Day and contributes to a cleaner and healthier environment for storing life on the planet.

Minoxidil: mechanisms of action on hair growth
For nearly 30 years is known that minoxidil stimulates hair growth, yet the mechanism of action of this agent is not fully understood. In animal studies it was found that minoxidil shortens telogen phase, causing premature transition of resting hair follicles into anagen. It is very likely in humans minoxidil have the same mechanism.
Administered orally, minoxidil lowers blood pressure by relaxing the smooth muscle, it is believed that this pharmacological effect is due to minoxidil sulfate - a metabolite of minoxidil, which leads to the opening-up of ATP-dependent sarkolemni potassium channels. There are several reports which suggest that the incentive effect of minoxidil on hair growth is due to the opening of potassium channels of that metabolite, but no evidence that such channels are expressed in the hair follicle. A number of in vivo effects of minoxidil are described in monocultures of several skin and follicular cell lines: stimulation of cell proliferation, inhibition of collagen synthesis, stimulation of the synthesis of vascular endothelial growth factor and prostaglandins. Some of the described effects may be important for hair growth, but it is unclear how these results could be applied in the complex biology of the hair follicle. This article will describe what information has medicine on the mode of action of minoxidil on hair growth.
Minoxidil enter service in 70 years of 20 century as a medicine for hypertension. Even then found that one of the most common side effects of taking minoxidil tablets hypertrichosis. In bald men were seen re growing in fallen hair. All this led to the creation of minoxidil topical form for treatment of androgenetic alopecia in men, and later in women. 2% howl product against hair loss occurs in the U.S. market in 1986 and in 1993 appeared and 5-percent solution.
Despite 20 years intensive research, medicine has limited data exactly how minoxidil stimulates hair growth. By contrast, the establishment of the exact mechanism of action of the preparation is of utmost importance - in terms of creating more effective therapeutic approaches to hair loss and in terms of clarifying the biology of the hair follicle.
There are several mechanisms by which the drug stimulates hair growth. Minoxidil accelerates hair growth, increases the diameter of the hair affect the hair cycle shortened telogen and prolonging anagen phase. Probably integrated action include all these mechanisms. Available data suggest that minoxidil acts mainly through the influence of the hair cycle, perhaps increasing the diameter of the hair.
Animal studies
Mori and Uno studied the effects of topical minoxidil on spontaneous hair cycle in rats. No effect was found for the length of the anagen phase, but at the expense of this telogen phase was shortened: its duration during the third cycle in untreated animals was 20 days and in treated follicles had entered anagen phase only after 1-2 telogen. The same shortening of the telogen phase was observed and the fourth cycle.
The effect of minoxidil has been studied thoroughly in macaques - mammals who develop alopecia like humans. Topical minoxidil prevented the development of skalpovo baldness and stimulate re-growth of hair in balding individuals. Histological studies found that minoxidil causes increase in the number of follicles into anagen phase and reducing those in the telogen phase. Been established and enlargement of the hair follicle.
Studies in humans
Extremely little is known about the effects of minoxidil on hair growth in humans, such studies are limited mainly to the observed response to androgenic alopecia applications topical minoxidil. In male pattern baldness (male androgenetic alopecia), a gradual reduction in the duration of anagen and longer latent period of the hair follicle (the period between the loss of telogen hair and the beginning of the next anagen). Hair follicles shrink.
Clinical trials with topical minoxidil in male and female hair loss show extremely rapid acceleration of hair growth, which becomes apparent within 6-8 months after starting therapy. The peak is usually reached in weeks 12-16. Most likely, minoxidil affects hair follicles in telogen and latency induced transition into anagen. Hypertrichosis observed in oral administration may affect the forehead and limbs. Extended hairs of these sites indicate that minoxidil also extended the duration of the anagen phase in man.
Histological studies in man are less definitive than in macaques. Abel and colleagues found a trend towards increasing otnoshtenieto anagen / telogen after 12 months of treatment with minoxidil in the bald men, but the biggest change was an increase in the average diameter of hair ". This change was most evident at 4 months, and at 12 months was observed reduction in mean diameter - probably due to the passage of small arms in the anagen hair follicle.
Minoxidil sulphate opens potassium channels
Minoxidil sulfate is one of a number of chemically unrelated drugs that cause opening plazmomembranni ATP-sensitive potassium channels. Relaxing effect of minoxidil on smooth muscle is due to precisely this mechanism. K ATP are located in many tissues and cell types - cardiomyocytes, pancreas, vascular galdka muscle, central nervous system. Several reports of clinical observations, animal studies and in vitro experiments suggest that the incentive effect of minoxidil on hair growth is related in some way with the opening K.atf effect of the preparation.
In vivo studies
Furthermore, minoxidil, opening potassium channels preparations diazoxide and pinacidil also cause hypertrichosis in humans. Bulgarian and colleagues studied the effect of topical minoxidil and three other preparation that open channels on K.atf skalpoviya hair "growing on bald monkeys. Minoxidil, cromakalin and P-1075 (analogue of pinacidil) stimulated hair growth within 20-week treatment course. Fourth oupanar of potassium channels - RP-49, 356, was not effective.
Regardless of the mechanism by which minoxidil modulate hair growth, there should be a primary effect on cellular function. Hair follicle is a complex structure consisting of epithelial, dermal, pigments and immune cells, as well as perifolikularna vascular and nervous system. Regulation of epithelial growth and differentiation and the hair cycle is based on the above structures. Many of these cells were used in studies with isolated monoxidil, but so far attempts to lokalizarane connections between minoxidil (and metabolites) and some of these cells were unsuccessful. Studies in mice have shown that minoxidil and minoxidil sulfate were concentrated in melanocytes and pigmented epithelial cells in suprapapilarniya region of the follicle. Most likely this is due to nonspecific binding to melanin.
Why minoxidil important? Although the benefits of androgenetic alopecia has been demonstrated in numerous clinical trials tend to disparage the preparation, which remains the only topical medication proven efficacy, and the only drug for hair loss in women approved. Minoxidil affects hair cycle, causing premature termination of the telogen and perhaps extend the anagen phase. Clarifying the mechanisms by which minoxidil has its effects will not only lead to more effective treatment of hair loss, but will also improve our knowledge on mechanisms controlling the hair cycle.

No effect was found for the length of the anagen phase, but at the expense of this telogen phase was shortened: its duration during the third cycle in untreated animals was 20 days and in treated follicles had entered anagen phase only after 1-2 telogen. The same shortening of the telogen phase was observed and the fourth cycle.
The effect of minoxidil has been studied thoroughly in macaques - mammals who develop alopecia like humans. Topical minoxidil prevented the development of skalpovo baldness and stimulate re-growth of hair in balding individuals. Histological studies found that minoxidil causes increase in the number of follicles into anagen phase and reducing those in the telogen phase. Been established and enlargement of the hair follicle.
Studies in humans
Extremely little is known about the effects of minoxidil on hair growth in humans, such studies are limited mainly to the observed response to androgenic alopecia applications topical minoxidil. In male pattern baldness (male androgenetic alopecia), a gradual reduction in the duration of anagen and longer latent period of the hair follicle (the period between the loss of telogen hair and the beginning of the next anagen). Hair follicles shrink.
Clinical trials with topical minoxidil in male and female hair loss show extremely rapid acceleration of hair growth, which becomes apparent within 6-8 months after starting therapy. The peak is usually reached in weeks 12-16. Most likely, minoxidil affects hair follicles in telogen and latency induced transition into anagen. Hypertrichosis observed in oral administration may affect the forehead and limbs. Extended hairs of these sites indicate that minoxidil also extended the duration of the anagen phase in man.
Histological studies in man are less definitive than in macaques. Abel and colleagues found a trend towards increasing otnoshtenieto anagen / telogen after 12 months of treatment with minoxidil in the bald men, but the biggest change was an increase in the average diameter of hair ". This change was most evident at 4 months, and at 12 months was observed reduction in mean diameter - probably due to the passage of small arms in the anagen hair follicle.
Minoxidil sulphate opens potassium channels
Minoxidil sulfate is one of a number of chemically unrelated drugs that cause opening plazmomembranni ATP-sensitive potassium channels. Relaxing effect of minoxidil on smooth muscle is due to precisely this mechanism. K ATP are located in many tissues and cell types - cardiomyocytes, pancreas, vascular galdka muscle, central nervous system. Several reports of clinical observations, animal studies and in vitro experiments suggest that the incentive effect of minoxidil on hair growth is related in some way with the opening K.atf effect of the preparation.
In vivo studies
Furthermore, minoxidil, opening potassium channels preparations diazoxide and pinacidil also cause hypertrichosis in humans. Bulgarian and colleagues studied the effect of topical minoxidil and three other preparation that open channels on K.atf skalpoviya hair "growing on bald monkeys. Minoxidil, cromakalin and P-1075 (analogue of pinacidil) stimulated hair growth within 20-week treatment course. Fourth oupanar of potassium channels - RP-49, 356, was not effective.
Regardless of the mechanism by which minoxidil modulate hair growth, there should be a primary effect on cellular function. Hair follicle is a complex structure consisting of epithelial, dermal, pigments and immune cells, as well as perifolikularna vascular and nervous system. Regulation of epithelial growth and differentiation and the hair cycle is based on the above structures. Many of these cells were used in studies with isolated monoxidil, but so far attempts to lokalizarane connections between minoxidil (and metabolites) and some of these cells were unsuccessful. Studies in mice have shown that minoxidil and minoxidil sulfate were concentrated in melanocytes and pigmented epithelial cells in suprapapilarniya region of the follicle. Most likely this is due to nonspecific binding to melanin.
Why minoxidil important? Although the benefits of androgenetic alopecia has been demonstrated in numerous clinical trials tend to disparage the preparation, which remains the only topical medication proven efficacy, and the only drug for hair loss in women approved. Minoxidil affects hair cycle, causing premature termination of the telogen and perhaps extend the anagen phase. Clarifying the mechanisms by which minoxidil has its effects will not only lead to more effective treatment of hair loss, but will also improve our knowledge on mechanisms controlling the hair cycle.

U.S. suspended its participation in military action in Libya
From today the U.S. began to withdraw from active combat operations against the regime of Moammar Gadhafi in Libya, announced in April The Pentagon hopes that the European allies of U.S., NATO will deal with the regime in Tripoli, the agency said.
From now on air strikes against sites in Libya will be involved U.S. aircraft. In direct military action would not participate and American warships and submarines in the Mediterranean, which caused massive udars first cruise missile sites in Libya two weeks ago.
American warplanes and ships pass on standby if NATO command finds that it can not deal only with other participants in the operation. Commander Operation United defender 'may require U.S. aircraft to strike at targets, but this will be
the express consent of Washington.
Air strikes against the sites of Libyan regime continued, but they will be involved aircraft other NATO countries. American planes tanks and aircraft equipped for electronic warfare, will support NATO fighters that patrol over Libya in order to implement the ban on flights by Libyan aircraft.
Muammar Gaddafi still has full authority in areas under its control, despite signs emerged that many of his associates abandoned him.
White House hopes that if the government Gaddafi is not completely disintegrate in the next few days, continued its strikes against tanks, and land batteries zenith parts will at least seriously undermine its ability to withstand the pressure of re-gaining momentum rebellion against the regime Points
April
"He's still killing people," said President of the Council of Chief staffs of the U.S. armed forces, Admiral Michael Mullen. This is in recognition that the mission of the Western coalition has not yet achieved its goals, but with his retirement from active fighting U.S. already carry the promise to pass on the burden of France, Britain and other allies in NATO.
The White House has not yet announced its final decision on whether the U.S. will deliver weapons of opposition to Gaddafi. Some supporters in Congress of the mission in Libya believe that this measure would be crucial to the overthrow of the Gaddafi and the limitation of victims of internal conflict.

iPhone 5 with Sony Camera?
In fact, rumors that Apple will use the 8-megapixel sensor for the iPhone, which will present in 2011 were released on the internet before it was confirmed 5-megapixel sensor in the iPhone 4.
Shares of OmniVision, which is the incumbent chamber sensors to Apple, fell sharply last summer, when you are hearing that Apple is considering using sensors from Sony for the next versions of the iPhone. Same thing happened yesterday with the shares of OmniVision, which further confirms this rumor. Backlit sensor of the iPhone OmniVision 4 makes a very good HD video, but on the pictures, there are many complaints about the yellow shades in the images of birds, and false representation of color images in the open - things that can not be corrected by the backlit sensor. Therefore, this rumor seems quite credible, given that Apple wants to use only the best for their gadgets.
Since Apple may have their sights on the new sensor Exmor R chamber of Sony, as a Sony Ericsson Xperia arc and Xperia neo. 8-megapixel sensor is backlit and contributes to better shooting in poorly lit areas, like 5-megapixel sensor in the iPhone OmniVision 4. See the video below which shows the capabilities of the sensor Exmor R from Sony.
Also, Sony has a 16-megapixel Exmor R sensor that is embedded in your phone Sony Ericsson CyberShot S006, intended for the Japanese market. With the development of two Tegra processors, TI OMAP4 and Snapdragon, will soon have the opportunity for hardware support for more than 18 megapixel sensors. The amount of 8-megapixel Exmor R sensor that can occur in the next version of iPhone e 1/3.2 ".
This is far from the largest chamber in the phone sensor - 1/1.8 "the 12-megapixel sensor Nokia N8, but Sony has created a new way of arranging the photo diodes, which are adapted to the finer pixel structure and It should create sharper images with less noise in low light conditions. In the photos below you can see the advantages of backlit Exmor R sensor of Sony, which makes more detailed and bright images in comparison with a conventional 5-megapixel camera phone.

Mobile phones causing reduction in bone density
The results of new research indicates that it is possible electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones cause a weakening of human bones. The study was focused on men who prefer to carry their mobiles attached to their belts, forward Mobiledia.
Over the years, have conducted various research studies to establish whether mobile phones harm health in some way, but results so far have always been contradictory and insufficient for firm conclusions.
In a study conducted by Argentine doctors has been found that men who prefer to carry their mobile phone to the right of his loins have problems with their bones. The place where the phone normally stands doctors measured the reduced quantity of minerals and reduced bone density. On the other side of the cross such a problem is not noticed. This asymmetry can be caused naturally, the doctors are adamant and think exactly the mobile phone is a major factor in ill health.
Researchers concluded that prolonged contact of working mobile phone to the body damage and may cause osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is characterized by reducing the amount of calcium in the bones, their thinning and loss of density. This leads to fractures, which in humans in the elderly can be life threatening.
The study was conducted in the space of one year and there are 48 men participated. Half wore regular phone back and they reported problems with the bones in the same place.

In a direct duel between the two college sensation Derrick Williams and Kemba Walker consists of affairs with the Huskies star and lead his team to the Final Four. There has also managed to Butler again.
Google Music
It seems that Google Music will start work soon, possibly in April. It is clear that the service will be a very serious competitor to iTunes, since ultimately Google has all the necessary means to promote its new product - its own mobile operating system on which millions have been based mobile devices and hundreds of millions of users which have a positive attitude towards the company services.
First Orbit
The premiere of the movie "First Orbit" (First Orbit) will be on YouTube next month to celebrate the 50 th anniversary of the flight of Russian cosmonaut.
The first astronaut carried out 108-minute flight around the Earth and managed to see something that no one before him has ever seen - our home planet from space. "I saw how beautiful our planet. People to keep and multiply this beauty, not destroy it!" Said an emotional Gagarin.
Currently there is no film showing the Russian astronaut saw from his ship Vostok 1, there is only audio of his observations.

| Vostok 1 Orbit |
The new film, shot with high-definition quality from the International Space Station, is trying to show exactly what he saw Gagarin.
"When you combine the staff of what is supposed that he saw the excitement in his voice, is given something really amazing," said director Dr. Chris Riley, who is also a historian dealing with issues of space.
Flight of Yuri Gagarin starting from Baikonur Tyuratam (now Baikonur) in Kazakhstan 6:07 GMT on April 12, 1961 During his 108-minute flight around the Earth, it passes through the Soviet Union, the Pacific Ocean, Strait of Magellan in South America over the Atlantic Ocean and Africa before landing near the town of Engels in southwestern Russia.
Gagarin enter into the dark behind Earth in the Pacific. He sees the sunrise, going to the southern Atlantic
The sight of fields is now recreated through film, shot by the International comic Station (IAS).
"The organization of photos of very committed space laboratory has undergone smoothly," said Dr. Riley .. "I believe that should shoot at the same time of day, which consisted of Gagarin flight, to get the same angle of the sun," he explains. This opportunity occurs once every 6 weeks.
Astronaut from the European Space Agency Paolo Nespoli, who is currently aboard the IAS, is the author of the video to film. Italian is an avid photographer and his pictures of Earth taken from space, have enjoyed great success in online photo sharing Flickr.
Go to the video, which is ensured by Nespoli, original audio track was added by the flight of Gagarin. Moreover, the film is synchronized with the music of composer Philip Sheppard. The film used and original recordings of the broadcasts of Radio Moscow, "agency" ITAR-Tass and the BBC ("BBC").
After the movie premiere on YouTube on April 12, it can be downloaded free.
"From the beginning, our idea was to do it and give it to people," said Dr. Riley ..

Wales vs. England
Wales vs. England, 03.26.2011, 16:00 clock
Competition: European Championship qualifier in 2012
Round: 5 Gameday
Group: Group G
Stadium: Millennium Stadium (Cardiff)
Manufacturer: PartyBets
In the European Championship qualifying Group G, it is this Saturday at 16.00 clock (in-play at PartyBets) the prestige duel between Wales and England. Who wins? I am firmly convinced that the "Three Lions"harmless Welsh will eat!
The starting point:
The coached by Fabio Capello's star line-ranked England in the European Championship Qualifying Group G "only " ranked second. Rooney & Co. accounted for three points behind surprise leaders of Montenegro, but have a game in the hindquarters. With a win against Wales would be the "Three Lions", which clearly have the better goal difference (+6), make the leap to the summit and Montenegro replace as group leader. Chances are, because Wales is still without a point after three games, winning and comes with a goal difference of 1:6 as a shooting gallery of the group G. The trend of the last games sprayed not a lot of optimism: The team of Gary Speed, who in December, the successor to John Toshack took as Welsh coach, five lost the last six games! England, however, seems since the bitter off again to have caught during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa against Germany. The Elf-Capello conceded only against France (1:2) a setback, but is otherwise quite well on it. In short: The stakes could hardly be more different! While Wales points must necessarily Last Table, England can take a triple of the standings!
