Japan’s Oldest Person Dies at Age 113

Japan’s oldest person was a woman named Tsuneyo Toyonaga who died on Friday. She died days after she was transferred from her nursing home to a close hospital because she had lost her appetite and wouldn’t eat. She had been in a nursing home for the past 12 years. She was born on May 21, 1984 and had 5 children and 10 grandchildren.

Another woman named Kaku Yamanaka is now Japan’s oldest person. She was born on Dec11, 1984 and lives in a nursing home in Aichi, central Japan.

The number of people in Japan that live more than 100 years old has nearly quadrupled in the past 10 years and the number is still increasing. Japan has one of the world’s longest average life spans. This fact is largely due to many people in Japan having a diet that is rich in fish and rice. Japanese women have an average life expectancy of 85.81 years and the men have an average of 79 years.

U.S. Seeks Death Penalty for 9-11 Terrorist Attack Suspects

The Pentagon plans to charge six men detained at Guantanamo Bay for the Sept 11th terrorist attacks on America. They are seeking the death penalty for the men. One of the men, named Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, is supposedly the mastermind behind the attack, where hijacked planes were flown into buildings in New York and Washington. Prosecutors have been working for years to build the case against the suspects.

The trial will be held in a specially made court at Guantanamo that will allow lawyers, journalists, and some other people attend. The men would be tried in the military tribunal system that was set up by the Bush administration after the start of the war on terror. The system has been criticized for its rules on legal representation for suspects, hearings behind closed doors, and allegations of inmate abuse at Guantanamo.

A new study from Japan finds that outgoing people are more at risk for being overweight and there is a link between weight, body mass index, and personality. The study is based on more than 30,000 people in northeastern Japan who were between the ages of 40 and 64. They were quizzed on their height and weight and given a personality test. The test concluded that outgoing men were 1.73 times more likely to be obese and outgoing women were 1.53 times more likely to be obese than people that were worriers.

Scientists Produce Human Embryo Clones

There are scientists in California that have made embryos that are clones of two different men. The embryos were made using ordinary skin cells. The next big thing they are waiting for is to make a human embryonic stem cell line from cloned human embryos. Scientists think that stem cells from cloned embryos could be used to study diseases, screen drugs, and make transplant materials to treat conditions, such as diabetes and Parkinson’s disease.

The problems with cloning human embryos include, creating human lives in a laboratory purposely to destroy them to benefit and help other people, there are health risks involved in the process, and exploiting the women who are asked to provide eggs.

The cloning process works by injecting DNA from a person into an egg. The egg would grow into an embryo in about five days. Then, stem cells would be extracted from the embryo.

Scientist Explain Reasons for Chocolate Cravings

A study has found there is a type of bacteria in the digestive system that craves chocolate. Everyone has microbes in their stomach but people who have chocolate cravings have different colonies of bacteria.

The study was done by finding 11 men who never ate chocolate and 11 men who ate chocolate everyday. All of the men wee healthy, not obese, and were fed the same foods for five days. The researchers examined the byproducts of their metabolism in their blood and urine and found that a dozen substances were different between the two groups. The amino acid glycine levels were higher in the men that ate chocolate. People who ate chocolate also had lower levels of bad cholesterol.

It is known that bacteria interact with what you eat and studies have shown that intestinal bacteria changes when people lose weight. Someday, some types of obesity will be able to be treated by changing the bacteria in the intestines and stomach.

Types of Men You Shouldn’t Date

There are certain types of men that you should avoid dating if you are looking for a long and happy relationship.

Don’t date the momma’s boy. They usually live with their mother or a close enough for them to come by whenever they want to. In his mind, you will live up to his mother and he will always compare you to her whether he is verbal about it or not. He will expect you to do all of the things for him his mother does. He will always take his mother’s side in a disagreement. The momma’s boy usually has to talk to his mother several times a day on the phone. Get rid of him by telling him that you hate his mother.

Don’t date the body builder. He usually has a ton of pictures of himself and loves to go to the gym more than being with you. He loves to look at himself in the mirror more than looking at you and he will like the way his body looks more then he likes you. He may even criticize you badly if your body doesn’t look fit and perfect enough for him.

Don’t date the womanizer. You don’t want to spend the time you two are apart wondering if he is with someone else or what he may be doing. You don’t want to date a man that gives too much attention to other women when you two are together. A womanizer can be hard to trust and usually has problems with committing to one person. The usually want to keep their options open.

Don’t date the workaholic. The workaholic is going places career wise but he would be more focused on working than you. He would even cancel dates to go to work or work overtime. His work will always come first and foremost in his life. You will feel like you have to make an appointment to see him and spend time with him. He would even put future plans for you two, such as marriage and kids, on the backburner while he focuses on his very long term career goals. You will feel like his married to his job and you are the mistress. He will be so busy working that you won’t feel included in his life.

Don’t date the grown kid. He is usually very immature and seems like he will never grow up. Don’t waste your time waiting for him to grow up. Some guys have that “peter pan syndrome” where they want to act like a kid forever and never grow up. A lot of these kind of guys may still live with their mother too. They don’t want to get or keep a job or act like a responsible adult. They expect for you to be like their mother and take care of all of their needs, including financially. It is hard to carry a mature and deep conversation with them. You feel like dating an overgrown kid instead of dating a real man.
