China’s “Heavenly Palace” launches | ||
Updated at: 0647 PST, Friday, September 30, 2011 JIUQUAN: China successfully launched an experimental craft on Thursday paving the way for its first space station amid a blaze of national pride, bringing the growing Asian power closer to matching the United States and Russia with a long-term manned outpost in space. The Tiangong 1, or “Heavenly Palace,” blasted off from a remote site in the Gobi Desert at 9:16 pm (1316 GMT), adding a high-tech sheen to China’s National Day celebrations on October 1. Premier Wen Jiabao watched as the small, unmanned “space lab” and the Long March rocket that heaved it skyward from a pad at Jiuquan in northwest Gansu province, lifted off under clear skies, in images shown live on state television. It is the latest show of China’s growing prowess in space, and comes while budget restraints and shifting priorities have held back U.S. manned space launches. “Its name … speaks for a dream home the Chinese have long envisioned in the sky. In Chinese folklore, a heavenly palace often refers to the place in outer space where deities reside,” the official Xinhua news agency said. The big test comes weeks after its launch, when the eight tonne craft attempts to join up with an unmanned Shenzhou 8 spacecraft that China plans to launch. Space docking tests conducted with the Tiangong 1 will provide experience for the building of a permanent manned space station around 2020, mission spokeswoman Wu Ping said. And the launch, just before China’s National Day holiday, was accompanied by an outpouring of proud support for the country’s technological achievements. “I feel great pride in being Chinese today. This is another great step forward for China in space,” wrote Shi Zhongshan on the popular Twitter-like microblogging site Sina Weibo. In July, 40 people died in a collision on a high-speed rail line in eastern China, and Engineers had been watching launch preparations nervously, after another Long March rocket malfunctioned and failed to send an experimental satellite into orbit last month. Russia, the United States and other countries jointly operate the International Space Station, to which China does not belong. But the United States will not test a new rocket to take people into space until 2017, and Russia has said manned missions are no longer a priority for its space program, which has struggled with delays and glitches. Earlier this month, NASA unveiled plans for a deep-space rocket to carry astronauts to the moon and Mars. President Barack Obama has called for a human expedition to an asteroid by 2025 and a journey to Mars in the 2030s. China launched its second moon orbiter last year after it became only the third country to send its astronauts walking in space outside their orbiting craft in 2008. It plans an unmanned moon landing and deployment of a moon rover in 2012, and the retrieval of lunar soil and stone samples around 2017. Scientists have talked about the possibility of sending a man to the moon after 2020. China is also jostling with neighbors Japan and India for a bigger presence in space, but its plans have faced international wariness. Beijing says its aims are peaceful, and military involvement natural given the enormity of the undertaking. “The military enjoys unique advantages in organizing and coordinating such large-scale activities, and its involvement in aerospace missions is an international practice,” Defense Ministry spokesman Geng Yansheng said this week. (Reuters) COMMENT: THAT’S GREAT ACHIEVEMENT OF CHINA! | ||

Laughter good medicine for dementia patients | ||
Updated at: 1133 PST, Thursday, September 29, 2011 | ||
SYDNEY: Laughter may be good medicine for elderly dementia patients — and best of all, it doesn’t have side effects. Australian humour therapist Jean-Paul Bell was originally a clown doctor working with sick children, but now he makes the elderly laugh through a programme called Play-Up. Bell was also the key humour therapist in a Sydney-based study into the impact of humour therapy on mood, agitation, behavioural disturbances and social engagement in dementia patients, a study that showed those who took part seemed “The whole idea behind the Play-Up programme and what we’re doing at the Arts Health Institute is encouraging them to play more because we believe that they’ve got potential to keep playing right until you take your last breath,” Bell said. He set up the Arts Health Institute to train aged-care staff in fostering playful relationships with their patients, particularly those with dementia. The study, called the SMILE study, took place over three years, involving 36 nursing homes and 400 residents. (Reuters) Comment: So its rightly said: “Laughter is the Best Medicine.” | ||

NEW YORK: When it comes to getting fit a person's best friend just might be a four-legged one. Experts say studies show dog owners walk more, walk faster, and are more likely to enjoy an active lifestyle because of their companion animal. "I'm fascinated by what a great motivator dogs can be," said Dr. Sandra McCune, co-editor of the book, "The Health Benefits of Dog Walking for People and Pets." McCune, an animal behaviorist based in Leicestershire, England, said studies show if you're a dog walker, you're more likely to meet the guidelines for daily activities. Dogs are the reason behind two-thirds, 66 percent, of the walks their owners take each week, according to a recent survey of more than 1,011 adults commissioned by pet food company Mars Petcare. One-quarter of people with children and pets regularly visit parks and other outdoor spaces because of their dog. (Reuters) COMMENT: AMAZING, INTERESTING & EXCELLENT HEALTH AWARENESS! | ||

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani has convened the All Parties Conference Thursday to discuss with political leaders the serious challenges to the national security and to forge a united stance.
The meeting, to be held on Sept 29 at the PM house, will focus on the recent threats to the national security where the political leaders will be briefed by the concerned officials about the latest situation and ways to deal with it.
Gilani on Sunday telephoned political leaders of various political parties and invited them to attend the national conference.
Gilani had telephoned chief of Pakistan Muslim League-N Nawaz Sharif, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain, head of Awami National Party (ANP) Asfandyar Wali, head of Jamaat-e-Islami Munawar Hassan, Jamiat-i-Ulema Islam-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, leader of Pakistan Muslim League-Q Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, President Pakistan Muslim League (LM) Saleem Saifullah Khan, Pakistan Muslim League-F Pir Pagaro, Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf Chief Imran Khan, PPP-S chief Aftab Sherpao, JUI-N chief Anas Noorani, Parliamentary Leader of MNAs from FATA Munir Khan Orakzai and Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed of Awami Muslim League.
The relationship between Pakistan and the US has been tense over the issue of Haqqani network. Top US civil and military leadership have accused Pakistan of maintaining ties with the Haqqani network and fuelling a proxy war in Afghanistan.
