black macaque monkey's self-portrait
To capture the perfect wildlife image, you usually have to be in exactly the right place at precisely the right time. But in this instance, David Slater wasn’t there at all and he still got a result. Visiting a national park in North Sulawesi, Indonesia, award-winning photographer Mr Slater left his camera unattended for a while. It soon attracted the attention of an inquisitive female from a local group of crested black macaque monkeys, known for their intelligence and dexterity. Fascinated by her reflection in the lens, she then somehow managed to start the camera. The upshot: A splendid self-portrait.

The bereaved relatives of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan may have had their phones hacked
The bereaved relatives of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan may have had their phones hacked by a private investigator working for the News of the World.
The Daily Telegraph has learnt that the personal details of the families of servicemen who died on the front line have been found in the files of Glenn Mulcaire, the private detective working for the Sunday tabloid.
The disclosure that grieving relatives of war dead were targets for the newspaper prompted anger among military charities, who said it was a “disgusting and indefensible assault on privacy”.
The Metropolitan Police is facing growing calls from the families of murder victims, those killed in terrorist attacks and those who died in natural disasters, such as the Indonesian tsunami, to disclose if they were targets.
Rebekah Brooks, the former editor of the News of the World and now chief executive of News International, its parent company, faced calls from Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, to step down.
Yesterday The Daily Telegraph disclosed that families of victims of the July 7 bombings were targets for Mulcaire in the days after the atrocity in 2005.
Last night it emerged that among the 7/7 victims who may have had their phones hacked was Paul Dadge, who appeared in one of the most memorable images of the London bombings as he helped Davinia Turrell with a bandaged face at Edgware Road Tube station.
Mr Dadge said he thought his phone may have been hacked because Mrs Turrell would not speak to journalists. “The girl in the photo, Davinia Turrell, because she wasn’t talking to the press, they tried to get at her through me,” he said.
He is one of six relations and victims of the attacks who allegedly had their phones hacked. Graham Foulkes, whose son David was killed in the Edgware Road bomb and Sean Cassidy, whose 22-year-old son Ciaran was killed in the King’s Cross blast, have also been contacted by Scotland Yard. Yesterday other victims said to have been hacked by the newspaper were named by MPs in Parliament.
Chris Bryant, a Labour front bencher, named Danielle Jones, a 15-year-old murdered by her uncle in June 2001, as a potential victim. He also suggested that the phones of individuals linked to the cases of Madeleine McCann, Sarah Payne, and Scotland Yard detectives who worked on the first investigation into phone hacking had been targeted.
Last night soldiers’ charities demanded that the police release the names contained in Mulcaire’s 9,200 pages of records so they can discover whether they were targets.
A spokesman for the Army Families Federation added: “Families who have endured the loss of their soldier will find this privacy assault disgusting and indefensible, as will all serving personnel who will question the sanctity of their precious phone calls home.”
The disclosure that the News of the World phone hacking involved victims of crime began earlier this week with the revelation that Milly Dowler’s mobile phone voicemails had been intercepted in the days following her disappearance.

network website threaten our lives
Family life is being disruptedbecause parents and children are overwhelmed by the huge volumes of emails and social messaging updates they are handling each day, according to a new study.
As a result one in three of us are now desperate to cut down our use of Twitter and Facebook as well as emails.
Surprisingly the study, by Cambridge University, found children as well as adults preferred to communicate face to face. More than half of all families said a 'technology-free' time is important and a third of parents said technology had disrupted family life.
The findings led family groups to warn that if parents end upspending more time checking emails and social networks than with their children it could have a detrimentaleffect on the home.
Amongst children aged 10 to 18, who have grown up with new technology, 38% admitted to feeling overwhelmed by the volume of messages. Similar numbers of adults felt the same way, with 34 per cent of 25 to 34 year olds agreeing.
Justine Roberts, founder of parenting website Mumsnet, warned: 'Social media is something we have to keep a watch on because it can eat into your life.
'We encourage our members to switch off because otherwise you can't give your kids and husband the time they need.'
She added: 'Websites like Facebook and Twitter can be enjoyable and addictive but, like with everything, it needs to be taken in moderation.'
The survey also discovered that 43 percent of children and 33 percent of adults are taking steps to reduce their reliance on messaging, text and networking.
But only one in five said they would be reducing the number of text messages they are sending and even less said they will be writing fewer emails.
Nearly 43 percent said they have had a cullof their Facebook 'friends' and followers on Twitter in an attempt to cut down on the amount of time spend on the websites.
As part of the research, 63 families were asked to keep a diary of their use of communications technology. More than 1,250 adults were questioned in the research which was paid for by BT – the biggest broadband provider in the country.

An anonymous CIA analyst who refused promotion in order to continue to track down al-Qaeda leaders has been revealed as the brains behind the successful operation to kill Osama bin Laden.
John was standing just outside the frame of the photograph of President Obama and his team watching the raid.
An anonymous CIA analyst who refused promotion in order to continue to track down al-Qaeda leaders has been revealed as the brains behind the successful operation to kill Osama bin Laden.
Identified only as “John”, his middle name, the career CIA man is said to have choked up when speaking to Senators in a secret session about how he pulled together the information that led to the perpetrator of the Sept 11 atrocities.
John was standing just outside the frame of the famous photograph of President Barack Obama and his team watching the US Navy SEALs raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
The CIA is divided principally between operators – spies in the classic mould – and analysts, those who sift through the material the operators gather and usually spend their whole careers in the agency’s headquarters in Langley, Virginia.
Analysts do not work undercover but the Associated Press, which reported the pivotal role played by John, agreed to a CIA request not to reveal his identity for fear he could become an al-Qaeda target.
John was the first to put in writing last summer that the CIA might have a genuine lead on finding bin Laden. He oversaw the team that joined the dots that led the agency to bin Laden’s fortified compound in Abbottabad.
For nearly a decade, John’s principal job was to find bin Laden. A former Russia and Balkans specialist, he wrote what was viewed as the definitive profile of Vladimir Putin before shifting his focus to al-Qaeda.
He is said to have been one of the driving forces behind a string of captures of prominent al-Qaeda figures, including Abu Zubaydah, Abd al-Nashiri, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Ramzi bin Alshib, Hambali and Faraj al-Libi, and advocated increasing the number of drone strikes in Pakistan.
The CIA offered to promote John and move him to another role but the analyst was adamant that he should remain in his post until bin Laden was located.

how many years does a man can live
If Aubrey de Grey's predictions are right, the first person who will live to see their 150th birthday has already been born. And the first person to live for 1,000 years could be less than 20 years younger.
。
A biomedical gerontologistand chief scientist of a foundation dedicated to longevity research, de Grey reckons that within his own lifetime doctors could have all the tools they need to "cure" aging -- banishing diseases that come with it and extending life indefinitely.
"I'd say we have a 50/50 chance of bringing aging under what I'd call a decisive level of medical control within the next 25 years or so," de Grey said in an interview before delivering a lecture at Britain's Royal Institution academy of science.
"And what I mean by decisive is the same sort of medical control that we have over most infectious diseases today."
De Grey sees a time when people will go to their doctors for regular "maintenance," which by then will include gene therapies, stem cell therapies, immune stimulation and a range of other advanced medical techniques to keep them in good shape.
De Grey lives near Cambridge University where he won his doctorate in 2000 and is chief scientific officerof the non-profit California-based SENS (Strategies for Engineered NegligibleSenescence) Foundation, which he co-founded in 2009.
He describes aging as the lifelong accumulation of various types of molecular and cellular damage throughout the body.
"The idea is to engage in what you might call preventative geriatrics, where you go in to periodically repair that molecular and cellular damage before it gets to the level of abundance that is pathogenic," he explained.
For some, the prospect of living for hundreds of years is not particularly attractive, either, as it conjures upan image of generations of sick, weak old people and societies increasingly less able to cope.
But de Grey says that's not what he's working for. Keepingthe killer diseases of old age at bayis the primary focus.
"This is absolutely not a matter of keeping people alive in a bad state of health," he told Reuters. "This is about preventing people from getting sick as a result of old age. The particular therapies that we are working on will only deliver long life as a side effect of delivering better health."

a great mother , caught a baby girl who fell out of a winfow from ten floors up
Photo: Wu Juping smiles at her own son in a hospital, after she saved a 2-year-old girl.
。
Wu Juping – a 32-year-old woman who happened to just be walking about in Hangzhou, China – managed to catch a baby girl who fell out of a window from ten floors up. Now that's luck.
Apparently, the two-year old girl, Niu, managed to fall out of the window when the girl's grandmother disappeared to take care of some errands.
Neighbors saw what was happening, but were unable to prevent the toddler from falling out. Wu Juping caught the baby “bare-handed,” but also broke her arm in the process.
Still, the act absorbed most of the fall's impact, which would have severely harmed Niu.
。
"I did it out of a mother's instinct," Wu told to the journalist.“
The little girl in question is now in the emergency room, but doctors say she may suffer from internal bleeding. Still, the doctor in charge noted that, “It's a miracle that Niu survived the accident.”

japan divorce ceremony
Ceremonies to celebrate divorces have gained momentum in Japan after the massive March earthquake and tsunami, followed by an ongoing nuclear crisis, caused unhappy couples to reassess their lives.
The ceremony to mark a couple's transition to being single again costs 55,000 yen ($690), includes a buffet meal and culminates with the ritual smashing of their wedding rings with a gavel.
Tomoharu Saito, who took part in Tokyo with his wife Miki days before they were set to file for divorce, said crushing the rings felt cathartic.
"I did not think the ring could be crushed that easily, but it did," he said. "I was shocked but at the same time, I feel it helped me make a clean break."
The ceremony also includes a "divorce dress," and Miki Saito chose a daisy-yellow summer dress. In Japan, daisies are believed to symbolize an "amicable or platonicrelationship."
Designer Akiue Go said he created the dress with emphasis on the back for a specific reason. "I designed this dress so the woman's back looks the most beautiful when she turns around and walks away," he said.
Hiroki Terai, a 31-year-old former salesman, spotted a gap in the market and pioneered the divorce ceremony two years ago. Since then, he's celebrated more than 80 breakups.
Requests for the ceremony have tripled since the March 11 9.0 magnitude quake set off a massive tsunami.
"The March 11 disaster made many couples rethink their priorities. Some found that work was a higher priority to them than family, and this helped people gain the confidence to decide on a divorce," Terai said.
"Those who want an amicable divorce are doing these ceremonies."
Miki Saito said the earthquake made her realize she wanted to be closer to her parents, who live in northeastern Japan in one of the areas badly affected by the quake.
"After the quake, my desire to go back and live with my parents grew stronger," she said.
Guest Hiroko Tada was present for both the beginning and the end of the Saitos' marriage. "I'd say congratulations to the amicabledivorce," she said. "I could have never imagined this day would come because I was at their wedding, but since they did break up, this is one of the best ways to do it."
