Babies lying on mom’s tummy prevent obesity

This helps strengthen the baby s neck and back muscle motor movement – vital for more complicated movements such as sitting, rolling over and crawling.

As part of the Healthy Beginnings Trial, 667 first-time mothers were visited by an early childhood health nurse at the antenatal period and then when the child was one, three, five, nine and 12 month-old.

Researchers from the University of Sydney and South Western Sydney Local Health Districts conducted this trial in 2007 to gather evidence of the effectiveness of early interventions on obesity in children, according to a Sydney statement.

“This is a very important finding considering 21 per cent of boys and 18 per cent of girls…aged two to three years are overweight or obese,” said University of Sydney s Li Ming Wen, who led the study.

“It looks as though if we intervene early we can actually make a difference in the long-term,” Wen added. Chris Rissel, also from the University of Sydney, said that mothers that received the home visits also increased the daily practice of tummy time from 76 per cent to 83 per cent and started tummy time with their infants much earlier.

The children in the Healthy Beginnings Trial will be followed up until the age of five.

Smartphones: a new frontier for hackers

Hackers are out to stymie your smartphone. Last week, security researchers uncovered yet another strain of malicious software aimed at smartphones that run Google s popular Android operating system. The application not only logs details about incoming and outgoing phone calls, it also records those calls.

That came a month after researchers discovered a security hole in Apple Inc. s iPhones, which prompted the German government to warn Apple about the urgency of the threat.

“We re in the experimental stage of mobile malware where the bad guys are starting to develop their business models,” said Kevin Mahaffey, co-founder of Lookout Inc., a San Francisco-based maker of mobile security software.

Wrong-doers have infected PCs with malicious software, or malware, for decades. Now, they are fast moving to smartphones as the devices become a vital part of everyday life.

Some 38 percent of American adults now own an iPhone, BlackBerry or other mobile phone that runs the Android, Windows or WebOS operating systems, according to data from Nielsen. That s up from just 6 percent who owned a smartphone in 2007 when the iPhone was released and catalyzed the industry. The smartphone s usefulness, allowing people to organize their digital lives with one device, is also its allure to criminals.

Couples celebrate divorce in Japan

Ceremonies that celebrate divorces have gained momentum in Japan after the earthquake compelling unhappy couples to reassess their lives.

The culminating ritual of smashing wedding rings with a gavel helped create that clean break needed in any breakup. It costs a couple 55,000 yen for the ceremony that marks the couple s transition to being single again. The divorcees also threw the ring into the mouth of a frog figurine, as a frog symbolizes a return in Japanese culture. The dress is designed in a manner that woman s back looks most beautiful when she turns around and walks away.

The March 11 disaster made many couples rethink their priorities; some found work was a higher priority to them than family, and it has helped people gain the confidence to decide on a divorce. And those who want an amicable divorce are doing divorce ceremonies.

Royal wedding list released

1,900 invitees include stars like soccer star David Beckham and his wife Victoria, musician Elton John and director Guy Ritchie, soul singer Joss Stone and Mr. Bean actor Rowan Atkinson — a close friend of William s father Prince Charles.

St. James s Palace also confirmed that Bahrain s Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa will be attending, despite British concerns about the treatment of activists there. About 40 other foreign royals from countries including Denmark, Norway, Spain, Thailand and Morocco will be in attendance.

Other guests include British government and defense officials, British soldiers who fought in Afghanistan and people who work for William s charities.

Netanyahu set to visit US again

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu would meet with President Obama on Tuesday next in Washington amid a rocky patch in US-Israeli ties that began with a dispute in March over Israeli construction in East Jerusalem.
Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, who is in Israel celebrating his son’s bar mitzvah, issued the invitation on Monday in Jerusalem, which was accepted by the Israeli Prime Minister. But tensions in recent months have sprung from a deeper rift over whether the US ought to focus on resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict or, as Israel would prefer, on confronting Iranian nuclear ambitions.
One of the disputes that we have with the White House today is about the priority, and what is called the linkage, between the Iranian issue and the Israeli-Palestinian issue. We claim that without containing, if not defeating, the Iranian regime, there is no way to stabilize the Middle East, a senior Israeli official said this week.
They believe that the core of the problem is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and we don’t accept it, the official added. Publicly, Israeli officials portrayed the upcoming visit as a fence-mending trip after a strained White House encounter in late March when Obama and Netanyahu met at night without cameras present.

Hundered Million Announced By Prime Minister For Army Shohada Trust

ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN: Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani on Friday announced Rs. 100 million for Shohada Trust of Pakistan Army, and paid glowing tributes to the martyrs who rendered invaluable sacrifices of their lives for the defence of the country.

“It’s our resolve that all resources would be utilized for the security of the country, which is our priority number 1,” the Prime Minister said this in the National Assembly.

Gilani said he announced this amount as he reckoned the funds in the Shohada Trust might have been exhausted owing to the military operation in Malakand in which scores of security personnel had been martyred.

Gilani spoke highly of all the mothers and families of martyrs, whose loves ones lost their lives while protecting the motherland.

“Their blood would not be squandered and this country and nation would always remember them,” the Prime Minister added.
