With Danica, we are already 7,000 million

Asia, the continent where two thirds of the world population, man symbolically welcomed 7,000 million number, a small Filipino named Danica whose birth was celebrated in Manila and highlights the challenges posed planetary population growth. 

The 6,000 billion reached in 1999 and then elected UN Adnan nevus, a child born in Sarajevo, as a representative of the anniversary. This time, the UN chose not to appoint someone in advance, and several countries planned to announce the arrival of her own baby.

Danica May Camacho, born on Sunday, two minutes before midnight, in the Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital, a public institution of the Philippine capital, is a splendid small 2.5 kilos. His parents, Florante Dalura Camille Camacho, were congratulated by United Nations representatives took him a cake.

Struggle for 7,000 million inhabitants 

"It's very beautiful. I do not believe it's just the 7,000 million inhabitants of the planet," said Camille Dalura excited in the delivery room, invaded by the press. Danica will receive a scholarship and their parents a sum of money to open a store.

Despite this recognition of United Nations, the Kaliningrad authorities have indicated that the human being on Earth 7,000 million is Russian and is called Peter. Meanwhile, authorities in the region of Kamchatka in the Far East of Russia, declared their own inhabitants 7,000. million, Alexander, whose parents received an apartment. 

For its part, the NGO Plan International says the 7,000 million inhabitants and is called Nargis is a girl born in the teeming Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

The world and its 7,000 million people are a complex set of trends and paradoxes", but population growth is part of the "essential truths worldwide," said the representative of the United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA) in the Philippines, Ugochi Daniels. 

According to UNFPA, the Philippines is the twelfth most populous country, with 94.9 million inhabitants, 54% ce them under 25 years.

China is the most populous country, with 1,350 million inhabitants, followed by India, with 1,240 million.

 In total, Asia accounts for 4,200 million inhabitants and should reach 5,200 million in 2052 before declining gradually. But the strongest increase occurred in Africa, where the population exceeded one billion early in 2009 and 2,000 million are expected in 2044.

The challenge of feeding 7,000 million

Poverty, famine, disease, conflict ... The UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon to mark the event with a press conference, estimated that the move to the 7,000 million should not be taken lightly.

 "This is not a simple matter of numbers. Is a human story," he said last week at a school in New York.

For poorer countries, governments will be confronted with the difficulty of finding work to many young people reach the market. Besides global warming, drought and uncontrolled explosion of mega-cities, warns UNFPA. 

"Seven billion people need food. Energy. Interesting offers in terms of employment and education. Rights and freedom. Freedom of expression. Freedom to educate their children in peace and security," Ban Ki-moon stressed.

A birth rate of two per second, the UNFPA predicts that the population will continue increasing to reach 9,300 million in 2050 and over 10,000 million by the end of the century. 

In 2025, India will be the world's most populous country, ahead of China with 1,500 million.

US girl put in care after police arrest parents over alleged sandwich theft

Girl's pregnant mother claims she ate sandwich in Honolulu supermarket after feeling faint

 

A three-year-old American girl was put into state care for 18 hours after her parents were arrested for allegedly stealing two sandwiches at a supermarket in Honolulu.

The girl's mother, Nicole Leczcyzynski, who is 30 weeks pregnant, was feeling faint and ate a chicken salad sandwich while shopping at a Safeway store on Wednesday, she told the local television station KHON.

She paid for roughly $50 worth of groceries but forgot about the two sandwiches, valued at $5 each, according to Safeway.

The family was stopped by security staff while leaving the store. Leczcyzynski offered to pay for the sandwiches, she said, but the security guard called the police, the couple were arrested, and their daughter was taken into custody by child protective services, a state welfare group.

"We walked a long way to the grocery store and I was feeling faint, dizzy, like I needed to eat something, so we decided to pick up some sandwiches and eat them while we were shopping," she told the local station.

Safeway said it was investigating the incident.

"From our preliminary investigation, it appears we may not have handled this matter in the best possible way. We are taking this situation seriously, and giving it our full attention,"the company said on Saturday.

Both Leczcyzynski, and her husband, Marcin, were charged with theft, Honolulu police said.

Naked and drunk Moscow motorist crashes into 17 cars

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A naked and drunk motorist sped through central Moscow Sunday, crashing into 17 cars before being stopped by police who chased him across a large part of the capital, state television said.

"When police made him open his door, it became clear he was completely naked," said state TV, showing lines of cars with shattered windscreens and battered sides.

Local media said the man, who appeared to be in his 40s, was from Moldova and showed a picture him grinning in the back seat of a police car.

State TV said preliminary tests showed the driver had an "abnormally high" level of alcohol in his system.

TV pictures showed distressed drivers with bloodied hands and faces sitting in their cars, but police said there were no serious injuries.

"The most dangerous part was when he almost hit a bus full of school children," police spokesman Gennady Bogachev told state TV, adding that four of the 17 vehicles were police cars.

The planet reaches 7.000 million

There is reason to rejoice: ONU

The world population will exceed 7.000 on Monday million, according to UN estimates, underscoring the need to redistribute wealth to combat growing inequality.

Each country held differently this new record population explosion: some will choose a baby whose birth symbolically mark the event, and organized rallies and other festivities.

In Zambia, will perform a musical contest, and in Vietnam, a concert entitled "7 Billion: Counting On Each Other" (7.000 million people supporting each other). In Russia, authorities handed out gifts to some newborns, while in Ivory Coast, local actors will offer a show.

However, for the Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, the day that marks the presence of 7.000 million people is no reason to rejoice, and that newborns arrive in a contradictory world, where there is a while "lots of food and 1.000 million people go to bed hungry every night."

 "Many people enjoy lavish lifestyles while many others live in poverty," Ban said in an interview with Time magazine.

Monday's demographic record should be seen as "a call to action," he urged.

The new population figure represents an increase of 1.000 million persons with respect to which it was felt just after midnight on October 12, 1999, when the UN appointed a newborn Bosnian Adnan Mevic, as the 6,000 th earthling million.

The then UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, was photographed at a hospital in Sarajevo, holding in her arms Mevic.

The family lives today Mevic mired in poverty, which explains, in part, that this year there will be a symbolic picture with the head of the UN to capture the demographic record.

"It's not about numbers. These people," Ban said at a school in New York last week.

 "Seven billion people who need enough food. Enough energy. Good life chances for employment and education. Rights and freedoms. Freedom of expression. Freedom of raising her own son in peace and security," said .

Addressing students, the UN chief added: "Everything you want for yourself, but multiplied by 7.000 million."

 Ban will take this same message to the G20, which brings together developed and emerging economies in the world next week in southern France.

he growing population, coupled with the global economic crisis could force the world leaders prepare for more protests as the Arab Spring and demonstrations anti Wall Street.

 "The strength of the consensus of popular protest is an expression of an obvious fact: the growing economic uncertainty, market volatility and the increasingly stark inequalities have reached a critical point," Ban said in a letter to leaders G20, the summit will be held the next 3 and 4 November.

According to UN estimates, about two babies are born every second, so the figure of 7.000 million increase further in the next decade, reaching 10.000 million by 2100.

 United Nations forecasts that India will become the world's most populous country by 2025, when residents join about 1,500 million, surpassing China.

Meanwhile, experts agree that the world face enormous challenges to fight poverty and protect the environment.

A report by the Fund UN Population Fund (UNFPA) stressed that the world will face increasing obstacles to creating jobs for future generations, especially in poor countries, and that climate change and population explosion fanning the crisis of famine and drought .

At the same time, the aging of the population is a problem for Japan and European countries, the impacts of migration policies affect health and employment, the report warns.

featherless chickens

Avigdor Cahan, Israeli scientist, was given the task of genetically modifying poultry world. Their experiment reproduces chickens without feathers.

The power of genetics Rehovot Agronomy Institute in Tel Aviv, is the first to have a naked chicken farm. According to geneticist Cahan, thanks to their experiment, countries with warm climates could produce many more birds, then save on cooling and processing plants, where they remove the feathers of birds.

On the other hand there are those who oppose the experiment, they say for example that men could not mate because they can not flap their wings to maintain balance. Some argue that, without feathers, the chickens can get parasites and skin diseases develop. Cahan has defended his invention: "This is not a genetically modified chicken, it is a natural breed whose characteristics have been known for 50 years. I'm just transferring their growth."

Japan: a "giant" tennis ball anti-tsunamis

Flotation is a capsule that can accommodate four people in natural disaster. The company that makes it called "Noah" and already has hundreds of orders.

That the Japanese are clever, no doubt. If it comes to technology, are world leaders in innovation and curiosities. This time, the capacity that was used to characterize something that innovate national concern: the tsunamis.

The engineering company Cosmo Power designed a flotation device that can accommodate four people in the event of a repeat in the island a natural disaster such as last March.

The capsule resembles a huge tennis ball 1.2 meters in diameter and made of reinforced fiberglass. The company president, Shoji Tanaka, told reporters that "Noah" (as called by the biblical passage) was successfully tested on numerous occasions.

The "ball" has a window to allow occupants to see outside and breathing holes. As explained from the company, while there is no need to use it as shelter, Noah can use children to play.

Cosmo has already sold two capsules and received at least about 600 orders since the end of the month. They did not report how much the device.

Swede shocked by backyard elk 'threesome'

A man in western Sweden was greeted by an unusual sight on Wednesday morning when he saw three elk engaged in what appeared to be group sex in his backyard.

“I had just gone out on the balcony to get some fresh air,” Peter Lundgren, a 43-year-old marketing manager from Lindome, south of Gothenburg, told The Local.

“They were eating apples and then suddenly they assumed the position.”

Lundgren quickly grabbed his camera to document the young male elk mounting an older female elk which in turn appeared to be sniffing or licking the rear end of another young male elk.

He explained that elk are a common sight in his neighbourhood, as the large beasts frequently roam from nearby wooded areas through people's yards.

While he's used to seeing elk get tipsy from eating fermented apples, Lundgren said he was wholly unprepared to have a front row seat at an elk sex show taking place in his backyard.

“I'd never seen anything like it. Not with elk, at least,” he said.

Pär Grängstedt, a researcher at the Grimsö research station in central Sweden, confirmed that it's “extremely rare” to see elk exhibit mating behaviour in a residential area.

“As elk live in the woods, they usually mate in the woods,” he said.

The attempted elk intercourse witnessed by Lundgren is all the more unusual, according to Grängstedt, because the elk mating season ended in early October.

He added, however, that it's not unusual for elk to have sex while others look on.

“Usually there are several males in the area competing to be with the in-heat female. The strongest one usually wins, and the others are left to watch,” he said.

“It's quite normal behaviour.”

While Lundgren explained that it didn't appear the frisky young male elk was able to fully consummate his mating attempt with the older female, Grängstedt said there can be little doubt about his intentions.

“Elk don't mount one another just for the heck of it like some other animals,” he said.

Grängstedt theorized that the young male may have been rebuffed due to a lack of experience, choosing both the wrong time and place to fulfill his lustful desires.

“An older bull would never try to mount a cow in a wide-open residential backyard at this time of year,” he said.

Go forward that man has

Man with 39 wives and 94 children wants to marry

With his 39 wives, 94 children and 33 grandchildren, sexagenarian Zionnghaka Indian Chana says not having enough and still wanting to "raise children", who lives in a large building in northeast India, the agency reported today india IANS. 

"I would like to travel beyond the borders of Mizoram (the region in the northeast) and India to continue to raise my family," he told the half Chana, 67, in his village, Baktawng.

Chana's family consists of the patriarchal head of his own sect visible Christian, his 39 wives, 94 children, 33 grandchildren and 14 daughters (in India, the daughters are part of the husband's family): In total, 181 people.

 "Like any other church, we believe in the existence of God, but the only difference is that our belief we can marry more than one wife," he said Nunparliana, one of his children.

The family follows the guidelines of a cult called "Channa" from Zionnghaka father, Challianchana (d. 1997), was created in the early 1930's, and four generations later, with over 1,700 members. 

Although no one knows for certain how many children did Challianchana-founder who married fifty women-yes, there is evidence that Zionnghaka was his firstborn.

The family lives in a building with four floors and a hundred rooms built on a hill, and women practice a rotation system to share bed with the head of household, even if the wife is younger occupying the nearest bed. 

Mizoram is a small and remote region of northeastern India bordering Burma (Myanmar) and Bangladesh, where, unlike the predominantly Hindu in the subcontinent, the majority religion is Christianity in its Protestant sides.

Mizos were animists until the arrival of two Welsh Baptist missionaries, William Savidge and JH Lorrain, who began his pastoral work and ended earlier ban cults.

 The region has a total of 95 Christian denominations, some of its leaders claiming a divine status, and in other cases, such as the "channa" is accepted polygamy.

"is difficult to lead the life of this man"

An uncertain future for a planet full of men, experts say

At a time when the world population crosses the barrier of 7,000 million people, experts fear that the gender imbalance favoring the emergence of unstable "country singles" in fierce competition to find a wife.

The exact consequences of what the French demographer Christophe Guilmoto called the "masculinization alarming" in countries like India or China, due to selective abortions are still uncertain.

Many experts believe, however, that in fifty years the shortage of women will have an impact on society similar to the warming climate, an invisible but very real phenomenon.

After these warnings are hidden irrefutable statistics.

Nature offers unchanged figures are born between 104 and 106 boys per 100 girls, and the slightest modification of this ratio can only be explained by abnormal factors. 

In India and Vietnam, the figure is about 112 boys per 100 girls. In China, the proportion rises to almost 120 by 100, when it is not 130 boys per 100 girls in some regions.

The worst thing is that this trend extends: in Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, the relationship between the births of more than 115 boys per 100 girls. In Serbia and Bosnia contato the same phenomenon.

 The global awareness about going back to 1990 when an Indian Nobel laureate, economist Amartya Sen, published an article with a blunt title: "More than 100 million women have disappeared."

Demographers estimate that this figure is now above 160 million and is the result of the traditional son preference, falling fertility and, above all, inexpensive ultrasound that allow abortion when it comes to a girl. 

Although the proportion of births to return to normal in India and China over the next ten years, Guilmoto estimated that in both countries, the marriage will be for several decades a headache for men.

"Not only do these men have to marry at an older age, but who are at risk of being single in countries where almost everyone managed to find a woman," he says. 

Some believe that this new context might increase polyandry (a woman with multiple husbands) and sex tourism, while others provide catastrophic scenarios in which sexual predation, violence and conflict would be the new social norms.

A few years ago, political scientists Valerie Hudson and Andrea den Boer came to write that Asian countries mostly populated by men posed a threat to the West. 

According to them, "Companies with strong male-female ratio can only be governed by authoritarian regimes capable of suppressing violence at home and exporting it abroad through colonization or war."

Mara Hvistendahl, a reporter for Science magazine and author of a recent essay entitled "Unnatural Selection", argues that the risk of large-scale war is unlikely, especially remembering that India is a democracy.

 Admits that "historically, societies where the number of men than to women are not pleasant to live," evoking the risks of instability and even violence.

The services of the UN have warned of a correlation between the lack of women and an increase of sex trafficking or migration of populations in search of marriage. Solutions to the problem at the moment are not abundant.

According Guilmoto, the priority now is to ensure that the problem is public knowledge, and not only in emerging countries. "In Eastern Europe, people have no idea what is going on," he says.

Venezuela university seeks to pass on traditional ways

Student Jedewanadi shows the BBC around the university campus

It's an early start for students at Venezuela's Indigenous University.

Rising from their hammocks at dawn, they bathe in the River Tauca that runs through the 2,000 hectare (5,000 acre) rainforest campus in southern Venezuela.

Then there is time for breakfast and an hour of personal study before heading to class.

It takes about half an hour to walk, barefoot, to the classroom block from their different dormitories which are spread throughout the campus.

The 100 or so students, who are all in their late teens or early twenties, live in groups according to their ethnicity with the exception of the female students.

As there are just five women, they all live together.

Despite its remote location, the University has a computer room with internet access

Once in class, students receive lessons in indigenous rights, language and mythology and in the afternoons they get the chance to put practical skills to the test, herding buffalo and tending vegetable plots.

The Indigenous University is far removed from its counterparts in Venezuela's cities. But that is because it has been constructed by and for indigenous communities.

"This place is very important to me because it's as if I were in my community," says Yadumenedu, 19, who tried to study at a mainstream college in the nearby city of Ciudad Bolivar, but did not like it.

"This is normal for us and we're used to living like this," she says.

Long ignored by the country's Spanish-speaking majority, Venezuela's indigenous communities, including the Yekwana, Pemon and Yanomami, saw their numbers dwindle after Spanish conquistadors arrived in the 16th Century.

Their environment and way of life have since been threatened by gold and diamond mining and oil extraction.

They now make up just 2% of Venezuela's population.

Living history

There have been some recent strides forward. When he first came to power in 1999, President Hugo Chavez changed the constitution to recognise indigenous languages alongside Spanish as official languages of the nation.

But decades of external interference means many indigenous peoples fear their traditions are being lost. The University wants to buck that trend.

The university forms an important part of indigenous culture

It was set up several years ago by an indigenous rights organisation comprised of members of the communities and Jesuit priests who had worked with indigenous peoples for many years.

The location is as much a mid-point between indigenous communities as it is possible to reach. Still many of the students travel for several days to reach the campus at the start of every term.

Several different communities are represented and living on campus is a chance for students from different ethnic groups to mix for the first time.

Organisers hope that eventually every one of Venezuela's 30 indigenous groups will send pupils to the university.

The admissions policy is very different from that of other institutions.

Students are usually put forward by their respective communities as candidates and are expected to return to their village after three or four years of study, ready to lead their people.

Instead of reading subjects like medicine or engineering, students concentrate on deepening their knowledge and understanding of their own cultures.

They are given homework during holiday periods - tasks including interviewing their village elders about mythology and record their answers for posterity.

Official recognition

The university has survived so far on grants from non-governmental organisations.

It has saved money by inviting lecturers from other institutions to give their free time to teaching at the campus. But the university's founders have also been pushing for government to provide funds.

The university brings together members of different indigenous groups

"Definitely if we're going to succeed, it demands the political and financial support of the government," says Professor Julio Avalos, one of the university's non-indigenous lecturers.

"All areas of government could help to bring more indigenous students here or to set up other bases of the university in other regions of the country so students don't have to travel so far."

In fact, the process of gaining official recognition is almost finished. The university is waiting for a presidential decree to be issued, declaring them a legitimate centre of higher education.

"(The President) has instructed us to incorporate this house of study into the country's university network," the minister for Indigenous Peoples, Nicia Maldonado#, said recently.

With the future of the institution secured, teachers will be able to concentrate on training the next generation of indigenous leaders to preserve and strengthen their unique cultures.

A Chinese truck crushes the boy ran to avoid paying the costs of hospitalization

Compensation for death is cheaper

Maoke Xiong's mother looks at her son's body in the Sichuan region of China.

A week ago the images of abuse of a child two years China went around the world. The little girl lay on the street to the total indifference of passers-by after the driver of the van that hit her driving off without even getting off the vehicle. The girl went into a coma and died a few days later in a hospital.

On Tuesday it emerged that another Chinese boy killed in similar circumstances, after being crushed by a truck. The driver of the vehicle, Ao Yong, Xiong Maoke ran over, five years in the city of Luzhou, in western China. Little had just left home to go to school.

It is not known if the impact killed him. However, the driver did not think twice and backed off to give the coup de grace. As reported by the Mail Online, did not pay for medical bills that would have had to pay in case the small go into hospital. The payment of compensation for death is cheaper in a country that offers free medical care to its citizens.

"I saw the truck backing up and then move again. Xiong was caught in the wheel for a few yards," said Zhang Shifen, a man who attended the tragedy. Police said the driver discussed for seven hours with the child's family to agree on compensation. Meanwhile, Xiong's body was blocked under the wheel of the truck.

Yong Ao denies intentionally killed the child. And the police admitted that the truck was the first to call the authorities after the incident, which occurred in the village of Yunfeng, in the province of Sichuan. Locals demanded immediate compensation to the truck while the victim's mother sat on a stool at the small body of Xiong.

4-year-old Boy Takes Mom's Car on Joyride, Crashes

FULLERTON, Calif. (KTLA) -- An investigation is under way in Fullerton after a 4-year-old boy took his mother's SUV for a joyride and eventually flipped the vehicle and crashed, police said.

The boy's 27-year-old mother told police that she stopped in a parking lot near the Summit House restaurant to use a phone at around 4 p.m. Thursday.

The boy managed to maneuver through rush-hour traffic on State College Boulevard.

He made several turns and went through several intersections, authorities said.

The boy sideswiped other vehicles and crossed into oncoming traffic.

"As I looked, this little boy was standing on the seat, and he had this look of terror in his eyes," witness Danny Guerra told KTLA. "He was trying to control that thing."

"Everybody was trying to avoid him," Guerra said. "As he was going down the hill, other cars were just moving out of the way."

Finally, he crashed through a fence at the back of a fraternity house, rolling the vehicle.

The car landed on its tires, and the boy continued for about a third of a mile before slamming into trees, police said.

The boy was not badly hurt.

He was taken to a local hospital, but has since been released.

"I thought for sure that the airbag would kill him, because he was standing up. He was not strapped in," Guerra said.

"He was very fortunate that, in the end, relatively minor injuries to the boy, no other people injured and even the property damage limited," Sgt. Andrew Goodrich of the Fullerton Police Department told KTLA.

Authorities say they're still trying to figure out if the boy was ever strapped in a car seat, and, if so, how he got out.

It's also not clear if the boy started the car and put it in drive, or whether his mother left the vehicle in gear.
