// SAOPAULO: Air pollution kills more people annually than road accidents in
Sao Paulo, Brazil's most populous city which will host the opening game
of the 2014 World Cup, a study found.

The survey by the Healthand Environment out Tuesday said at least 4,655 people died from pollution-related ailments in the city which is home to 11 million,
compared with 1,556 killed in crashes.

With four million vehicles clogging the city streets every day, pollution was also a bigger killer than breast cancer and AIDS, it added.

At the state level, the split is also stark.

"Few people know it, but every year, 15,000 people die throughout the state
due to pollution, more than the 7,900 deaths from road accidents," said
institute president Evangelina Vormittag.

With a total population of 42 million, the state of Sao Paulo is also Brazil's most populous andthe annual average of pollutants in the air reaches 20 to 25 microgramsper cubic meter, much higher than the 10 micrograms tolerated by the
World Health Organization.

Scientists say environmental pollution can cause many respiratory diseases, cardiovascular problems and breast cancer.

The study was conducted between 2006 and 2011, in collaboration with health
and economic experts from the University of Sao Paulo. (AFP)//

FLORIDA: Age proved to be no bar for this daring 90-year-old man who has just
finished a marathon 1497 kilometres long journey on a cycle from
Kentucky to Florida.

Bert Blevens set off on August 20 and
stayed in hotels along the way during his epic journey. It took him 21
days to cruise across Tennessee, Georgia and most of Florida because his
recumbent tricycle is not permitted on highways, 'New York Daily News'
reported.

"I feel great. I feel relaxed, I feel good. I'm not as
tired as I thought I'd be, but I might take a little rest," Blevens told
Sarasota Herald-Tribune.

Blevens' son accompanied him during the
first half of the journey, after which his daughter, Beth, stepped in to
give her father company for the rest of the distance.

Blevens stopped to take pictures with curious onlookers who quickly became his fans.

Beth said there were times when she was not sure they were going to make it.

Family members encouraged Blevens by printing T-shirts bearing his quote: "If
something comes up, try it. The worst thing you can do is fail, and that
is not a catastrophe."

HIV infections plummet since 2001: UN
                              **********************

// GENEVA: New HIV infections have plummeted by a third overall since 2001 and
more than halved among children, the United Nations said Monday.

Globally, 2.3 million people contracted the AIDS virus last year -- down 33
percent from 2001, while 260,000 children became infected -- over a
third fewer than in 2009 and 52 percent down from 2001.

"The annual number of new HIV infections continues to decline with especially
sharp reductions in the number of children newly infected with HIV,"
said UNAIDS executive director Michel Sidibe.

Hailing progress in distributing antiretroviral drugs that prevent the transmission of the virus from pregnant women to their unborn children, the UN body said it
may be possible to slash new infections among kids by 90 percent in the
next two years.

In its annual report on the state of the global pandemic, the agency said the drugs had prevented more than 670,000 children contracting the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which causes AIDS from 2009 to 2012 alone.

In sub-Saharan Africa -- home to 90 percent of the world's 3.3 million infected youngsters -- the decline was particularly striking.

In Ghana, for instance, 90 percent of pregnant, HIV-positive women had access to antiretroviral treatment last year, up from just 32 percent three years earlier.

As a result, the likelihood of women in the country infecting their unborn children
dropped from 31 percent in 2009 to just nine percent last year, said UNAIDS.

Increased access to the drug "cocktail" which curtails HIV transmission but does not cure it, has helped reduce the number of AIDS-related deaths among all age groups by 30 percent since they peaked in 2005, the report said.

In a foreword to the 269-page report, Sidibe hailed "continued progress towards the global vision of zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths."

Last year, 1.6 million people died AIDS-related deaths, down from 1.8 million in 2011 and 2.3 million in 2005.

The report showed that 9.7 million people in low- and middle-income
countries, the bulk of those infected, had access to HIV drugs last
year, compared to only 1.3 million seven years earlier.

While the hike is impressive, it falls short of a UN target announced two years ago to reach 15 million people by 2015.

And it represents only 34 percent of the 28.3 million people who need the
drugs, under new guidelines released by the World Health Organisation in
June.

The increased access to treatment also means that more people are living with HIV, according to UNAIDS.

Some 35.3 million people were living with the virus last year -- about 70
percent of them in sub-Saharan Africa -- up from 30 million in 2001.

Sidibe insisted the 2015 target for global access to antiretrovirals remained
in sight, but stressed the world must "have the vision and commitment to
ensure no one is left behind".

Obviously, this will put a strain on world purse strings.

UNAIDS said international donor contributions to combating HIV had remained
flat since the global financial crisis erupted in 2008, and individual
countries were increasingly picking up the tab to beat HIV at home.

Last year, nations accounted for 53 percent of the $18.9 billion (14 billion euros) set aside to fight the virus.

The UN has set a target of $22-24 billion by 2015.

Earlier this year, Sidibe insisted the investment would pay off, pointing out
that "fewer deaths, less sickness" takes a burden off the healthcare
system, allowing HIV-positive people to work and contribute to the
economy for longer.

"If we do not pay now, we will pay later, we'll pay forever," he said. (AFP)//

& INTERESTING : Bombay Police arrested a person accusing him to take tea in a suspicious manner

============================================================

// MUMBAI:An Indian court has reprimanded police for arresting a man they
accused of drinking tea in a "suspicious" manner at one of the country's
ubiquitous roadside stalls.

Vijay Patil was drinking tea in the western city of Kolhapur in February when he was arrested under Section 151 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which allows an arrest to prevent someone imminently expected to commit a crime.

Police said there was no "satisfactory explanation" for the 49-year-old's
tea-drinking behaviour and "found his conduct suspicious", according to
the court order.

But Bombay High Court threw out the case earlier this month, describing the police motive as "bewildering".

"We were unaware that the law required anyone to give an explanation for having tea, whether in the morning, noon or night," said Judges G.S.
Patel and S.C. Dharmadhikari in the order.

"One might take tea in a variety of ways, not all of them always elegant or delicate, some of them perhaps even noisy. But we know of no way to drink tea
'suspiciously'."

The judges heard that Patil had a large number ofcriminal cases against him, but they pointed out that he had no convictions - "though even that would not have been justification enough" for his arrest, they said.

Section 151 can only be invoked without an arrest warrant if the person is imminently likely to commit a crime that could not otherwise be prevented, otherwise the detention violates their rights, the judges added.

"The ingestion of a cup that cheers demands no explanation. And while cutting chai is permissible, now even fashionable, cutting corners with the law is not."

"Cutting chai" is an Indian term for a half-cup of sweet and spicy milky tea.Leave a message..........//

HEALTH AWARENESS WELFARE (HAW):

Healthy Lifestyle for Sound Health and Longevity

===========================================================

// PARIS:In a small but unprecedented study, scientists on Tuesday said they had
proof that a healthy lifestyle helps the body's cells fight ageing.

The strategy is structured around a whole-food, plant-based diet, moderate
daily exercise, yoga-based relaxation and stress management, they said.

Researchers recruited 35 men, 10 of whom were asked to follow this lifestyle, while
the other 25 were not asked to make any lifestyle changes at all.

In addition to the diet and daily physical and mental routines, the 10
also attended weekly sessions for three months where their new skills
were reinforced by specialists, including a one-hour weekly "support"
session.

After five years, the scientists assessed the participants for a hallmark of biological ageing called telomeres.

Telomeres are nubby pieces of protein that are attached to the end of
chromosomes. They help to protect the precious strings of DNA code when a
cell replicates.

They are often likened to the tips of shoelaces.As the telomere wears down, its protection erodes too, and so does the risk that the DNA is not faithfully replicated in the daughter cell, which boosts the risk of cellular malfunction and then disease,
including cancer.

Looking at the length of telomeres thus gives a telltale of cellular lifespan.

Among the 10-man group, telomere length increased significantly by an average
of 10 percent over the five years -- and it was higher among those who
had adhered most faithfully to the new lifestyle.

Among the "control" group, though, telomeres had shrunk by three percent on average.

The study has limitations as the number of recruits was small, and it was
conducted as part of an investigation into prostate cancer.

In addition, the research was not empowered to test whether lifestyle changes affected the risk of cancer.

But, say its authors, its focus on the vital telomeres was carried out scientifically and over the long term.

This is what makes it new compared with evidence that is anecdotal or only short-term.

"The implications of this relatively small pilot study may go beyond men
with prostate cancer," said Dean Ornish, a professor at the University
of California in San Francisco, who led the study.

"If validated by large-scale randomised controlled trials, these comprehensive
lifestyle changes may significantly reduce the risk of a wide variety of
diseases and premature mortality.

"Our genes, and our telomeres, are a predisposition, but they are not necessarily our fate."

Ornish is the founder of the not-for-profit Preventive Medicine Research
Institute at the university. He has vigorously promoted in medical
presentations and books the argument that lifestyle changes, especially a
shift in diet, can protect against disease.

The study appears in the journal The Lancet Oncology..........//

LIVING HAPPY, HEALTHY & LENGTHY RECORDED IN THE WORLD BOOK OF GUINNESS.
===========================

GRAND ISLAND: The world's oldest man, a 112-year-old self-taught musician,
coal miner and gin rummy aficionado from western New York, has died. He
was 112.

Salustiano Sanchez-Blazquez died Friday at a nursing
home in Grand Island, according to Robert Young, senior gerontology
consultant with Guinness World Records.
Sanchez-Blazquez became the world's oldest man when Jiroemon Kimura died June 12 at age 116.

Born June 8, 1901, in the village of El Tejado de Bejar, Spain, he was known
for his talent on the dulzaina, a double-reed wind instrument that he
taught himself and played at weddings and village celebrations. At 17,
he moved with his older brother Pedro and a group of friends to Cuba,
where they worked in the cane fields.

In 1920, he came to the United States through Ellis Island and worked in the coal mines of Lynch, Kentucky. Ultimately, he moved to the Niagara Falls area of New
York, where he worked in construction and in the industrial furnaces. He
married his wife, Pearl, in 1934.

A spokeswoman for Sanchez-Blazquez's family did not immediately return a phone message Saturday.

In a statement provided by Guinness World Records earlier this summer,
Sanchez-Blazquez _ whose nickname was ``Shorty'' _ said he was humbled
by the attention, saying he didn't feel he accomplished anything special
just because he has lived longer than most.

‘He says, ‘I'm an old man and let's leave it at that,’ his daughter, 69-year-old Irene
Johnson, said at the time. Sanchez-Blazquez lived with Johnson in Grand
Island after his wife died in 1988; he moved to a nursing home in 2007.

‘We did our best,’ Johnson said. ‘We weren't going to put him somewhere just because he was old.’

Sanchez-Blazquez had said his longevity was attributed to eating one banana per day and his daily dose of six Anacin tablets. His daughter had another theory.

‘I think it's just because he's an independent, stubborn man,’ she said.

Besides his daughter, Sanchez-Blazquez had a 76-year-old son, John, seven
grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren.

Guinness says the world's oldest person is a woman, 115-year-old Misao Okawa of Japan.

Youngsaid 90 percent of all supercentenarians are female and
Sanchez-Blazquez had been the only male born in 1901 with proof of
birth. Arturo Licata, 111, of Italy, is now the leading candidate
to be officially recognized by Guinness as the current world's oldest
man, according to Young. Guinness will make a pronouncement on Licata at
a later date.

The oldest authenticated person was Jeanne Louise Calment of France, who died at the age of 122 years and 164 days. (AP)...//
