As the formation of sexual orientation rights, so still not found.
While continuously conducted various studies and put forward several
theories on this subject - the genetic, nevrogennaya, endocrine,
embryo, psychoanalytical - yet it must be recognized that the results
are contradictory. And certainty in the matter, alas, no. And, then
there is no single, scientific theory.
But if the approach to the problem practically, from the
standpoint of daily life, we can perhaps talk exclusively on Freud's
theory of psychoanalysis.
Unlike other researchers, Freud did not try to look for the
biological origins of this phenomenon, and the opening of its
psychological causes. According to Freud's hypothesis, there are men or
boys in the mainstream become gay, is determined, above all, his
family, which grew up the child, namely: the methods

Climate change isn’t only bad for the Earth, it may be bad for your health — especially if you have allergies or asthma.
Global warming is making pollen seasons last longer, creating more
ozone in the air, and even expanding the areas where insects flourish,
putting more people with bee allergies at greater risk, experts say.
“Climate change will cause impacts in every area. Wet areas will get
wetter, and drier climates are getting drier,” said Dr. Jeffrey Demain,
director of the Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Center of Alaska, and a
clinical associate professor at the University of Washington.
Those changes will mean more people with allergies and asthma will
suffer. In wet areas,

Dogs share the same basic functional abilities as 2-year-old kids,
at least when it comes to figuring out where older humans have hidden a
treat.
So says a team of Hungarian researchers, who also found that
3-year-olds surpass their canine companions when confronted with the
task.
At age 3, kids can locate a hidden toy by “reading” a pointed index
finger, but younger children and dogs take their cues from the posture
or direction of the hand, arm and torso — even if an index finger is
pointing in the opposite direction, the researchers found.
“Dogs are following the general direction that a body is extended,”
explained Bonnie Beaver, a professor at the College of Veterinary
Medicine & Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M University. “This
helps tighten up specifically what are the things that trigger the dog
to look. Wolves don’t look [at

Children can experience troubling health effects if they come into contact with topical testosterone gels
used by some American men, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on
Thursday announced that two of these preparations would now carry boxed
warnings to highlight the risk.
Accidental pediatric exposures to the gels can occur when the
“consumer forgets to wash their hands or forgets to cover a treated
area, and then has close contact with the child, or may have not waited
for their skin to dry and then picks up a child,” Dr. Dianne Murphy,
the FDA’s director of the Office of Pediatric Therapeutics within the
Office of the Commissioner, said during a Thursday afternoon press
conference.
Over time, these exposures can lead to premature and/or abnormal
development

The number of confirmed or suspected cases of swine flu
in the United States was approaching 1,900, federal health officials
said Thursday, with most new cases now caused by person-to-person
transmission and not some link to Mexico, as was the case when the
outbreak began nearly two weeks ago.
“Only about 10 percent of confirmed cases have a travel history for
Mexico,” which is believed to be the source of the outbreak, Dr.
Richard Besser, acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, said during an afternoon teleconference. “This indicates
ongoing transmission in communities. We would expect that as this
[virus] travels more around the country that we are going to see that
number go down. While there may have been introduction from travel to
Mexico, the spread that’s ongoing does not re

Canada — CBC.ca (May 4): Two more cases of swine flu
confirmed in Toronto on Sunday, bring the total in the province to 16.
... None of the 16 reported so far are believed to be serious, said Dr.
David Williams, Ontario's acting chief medical officer of health. All
of the cases reported so far in Ontario are in the Greater Toronto
Area: six in Toronto, six in Durham, three in York and one in Peel.
There are 10 women suffering from the swine flu and six men, ranging in
age from 21 to 49. Until Sunday's two new cases were reported all of
the people suffering from swine flu had visited Mexico. More than 100
cases have been reported in Canada.

The number of killer swine flu cases identified in Queens jumped from eight to 28 overnight, but no one is gravely ill, officials said today.
Mayor Bloomberg
said another 17 possible victims are being monitored but added all the
cases are associated with the St. Francis Prep school in Fresh Meadows.
"We have one reported cluster of swine flu at one school," Bloomberg said.
He said calls to every intensive care unit in the city turned up no one who is sick with the flu.
Earlier this year, the "Mediterranean diet"
turned 15. Of course, for the people who actually live in the
Mediterranean region, that's an absurd notion. They have been eating
meals of fish, vegetables, and whole grains drizzled with olive oil,
then washing it all down with a glass or two of wine for generations.
What actually turned 15 is the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid, an attempt by nutrition experts to promote an alternative to the typical overprocessed, fat- and sugar-laden American diet.
A big sign that said “help” on the rooftop of a building in New Orleans after the devastating damages of Hurricane Katrina is a moment that most will never forget. It was a disaster that left some homeless and hopeless. While sporting and entertainment events in New Orleans have done well for the economy, not much has been shown about the heroes that survived the horrible event.
Fortunately, Thomas Warren a Howard University journalism student, had the initiative to travel back to the Ninth Ward of the city and tell the story of the people.
“All the pictures you see on TV don’t do it justice. Seeing people and the hard areas makes you realize that no matter how bad you think you have it, there is somebody worse off,” said Warren.
