Breastfeed socialized better

Renowned Oxford University researchers examined the health and behavior of 10.000 mums and their children for five years. This was the biggest studies on breast feeding. A great numbers of mums only bottle-feed their babies due to difficulty feeding, lack of time or other reasons. According to this study the children who were breastfed for four months or more, were far better behaved. They also socialized better. At the same time bottle fed babies behavior is comparatively  not so good. The team of UK public health expert Maria Quigley Is unsure what causes the effect. Breast milk protect children against  illness and obtain the risk of illness such as asthma and eczema.

Opinion:
In this western society where there should be two earners, it is no more than necessary for parents  to proceed quickly to bottle feeding. Fortunately, the many benefits of breastfeeding  are also emphasized in the consultation offices. Nowadays parents are allowed to take parental leave. In their work space there is opportunity created for the flasks. I personally believe that breastfeeding provides a good interaction between mother and child. I also believe that mothers have breasts to feed their children.

Drinking a lot of coffee finest for fighting breast cancer?

The Swedish researchers are now doing more studies about women and drinking a lot of coffee. They think that coffee cuts only the risk of an aggressive form of breast cancer called oestrogen-receptor negative breast cancer. Research professor Per Hall said: “the more aggressive form of cancer was reduced in those women who drank a lot of coffee and were diagnosed with this cancer”. But he is not clear about the compounds in coffee. It is also not sure how much coffee or which type of coffee helps in developing cancer. So further work will be needed to confirm the conclusion. Women, who are actually active, consume little or no alcohol and keep a good physical shape and weight after the menopause are at lower danger of breast cancer.

Opinion:

After reading the first sentences, his article seems as promoting the drinking of large quantities of coffee.  For years, people working on finding a cure for cancer. Even with the latest technology it is not possible to eradicate it. Recently there were various means and results of researchers. The past week there was another research that sees drinking green tea as the best medication to prostate cancer prevention. Fortunately, there are people who go for longer term results. There is according to researchers not yet clear whether coffee is the right medication. To drink lots of coffee might be work detrimental for our health.

Uniform Policy in the summer

Chris wearing a skirt

Impington Village College 12 year’s old student Chris Whitehead wears a skirt in protest at his school´s uniform policy. According to Chris, forcing boys to wear long trousers during the summer effects their concentration and ability to learning. He believes that this is discrimination because girl’s students are allowed to wear skirts. Teachers of the college imposed a ban on boy´s shorts in 2009, following consultation with parents and teachers. Chris also addressed 1368 students at morning assembly wearing skirts. He is also a very bright student. His mother Liz Whitehead, 50 has praised him for it. She thinks he must do what he believes.

Opinion:
A uniform is great for students of Primary and Secondary education. The introduction of school uniform started as a sort of anti-discrimination campaign. The school uniform is worn so that everyone looks the same, no distinction between students. Casual clothing is nowadays increasingly common to English schools. There are over sweatshirts, polo shirts or t-shirts allowed. After reading Chris's argument I would choose for another option. The color is of course important but why not a policy for summer and winter clothing? Can boys be allowed to walk in shorts to school for those who want it? The girls can wear both shorts and skirts.

Alert or WHO´s target to 2015?

Nowadays Measles   is the dangerous disease in young infants and pregnant women. WHO has put its target to 2015.It seems unlikely because a measles outbreak spreading across Europe, UK, Spain, Serbia, Macedonia & Turkey. During the last few months, children& young adults of UK & Wales have been most affected in the comparison of last year. Dr. Mary Ramsay, head of immunization at the HPA said that measles can spreads easily in schools and university. However, the situation in France is considerably worst. The most effective way of prevent this highly infectious viral illness is two doses of MMR vaccine. But all in all Americans are free from this dangerous disease because it was eliminated in 2002.In Europe measles can also be eliminated.

Opinion:

Before I got to face this article I thought that measles had already been banned. This infection disease causes damage to young children and pregnant women. I believed in the fact that this was a disease that you had to go through childhood. Reading that the Health Protection Agency reported a measles explosion in England and Wales means that we should be on alert. It also surprised me that in our western world this have not realized.
What is Brussel doing? There must also be global action.

Dangerous stunts

Opinion:
Child labor and abuse of children under the 14 years remains focus item in India despite the fact that laws exist to combat such practices. Parents who cannot provide the care and upbringing of their children are often forced to outsource. The middle class lives in the belief that they are helping the children, because food, clothing and shelter are given. In reality this is exploitation of cheap labor. Working minors are making long hours and days without a defense against their exploitation. They miss their carefree childhood. They do not know better. For me it is clear that their living conditions can be counted to a disaster. These kids really deserve a childhood and future.

In response to a petition filed in court by the Indian Child Movement, The Indian Supreme Court has ordered circuses to cease the use of underage children. This is about saving children who perform dangerous stunts such as high-wire acrobatics without a safety net. This stringent employment (training) at young age (children under 14 years) had been previously banned by India's Child Labour Act. Arguments as training from young age and crucial for developing skills could not affect the court's decision. The child welfare department has the task to identify these children and make arrangements for their care and upbringing as the parents are unable to do so.

Farewell to Puttaparthi´s living God.

Sai Baba known for its orange robes, his hair and his supernatural powers deceased last week at the age of eighty-four. Critics continually comment on his so-called miracles and the situations in his ashrams. Key persons along with his immediate family came together in the ashram to perform the last death rituals for him. The followers of Sai Baba's could see everything live outside the ashram on a large screen monitor. Sai Baba was seen as a saint and was not cremated as is common with in Hindu religion. His body was buried in a glass coffin.

Opinion: 

I have been thinking about the miracles of Sai Baba. Can a man really have supernatural powers? How and who subsidize the ashrams, clinics and hospitals in over 126 countries? Remarkable in the report about his last rites was there were not much of Hindu death rituals to be seen.
Sai Baba has also made ​​predictions about his own life here on earth. After his first 95 years he would leave this body. I think he has made an estimation error. This shows that as a human being you are unable to predict your own death and the future. I am very curious who will now run his million roepies empire.

Busy royal diary!

A week before the wedding ceremony of Kate Middleton and Prince William it is definitely not quiet at Windsor Castle.
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh have met Kate´s parents last week.
Kate  Middleton was unlike her parents almost equal introduced to the Queen.

The future parents of her grandson were not previously able to meet the Queen than the intention was. This had to do with her busy royal diary.

The event was planned before the engagement announcement. Yet questions remain as to why such a meeting eventually took place after the couple´s eight -year courtship

Opinion:

After reading the article above it seems like the queen really lives by the strict protocols of the royal family. A meeting with Kate Middleton then girlfriend of her grandson Prince William seems more important than a meeting with her ​​parents. It appears that this queen grandmother is much in control. If I compare her with our Queen, I know that Queen Beatrix is more modern set. She has some modern ideas and approaches of the protocols. the world I also look forward to this royal wedding. Still I remain curious about the reasons why the meeting eventually took place and was possible after eight years .Was it really her busy agenda-setting?
