bullfighting a cruel so called sport.
as we all know a bull fight is some what rigid .before the start prior to a fight the bull is starved ,drugged in order to weaken and disorientate the bull ,and in some cases petroleum jelly is smeared in their eyes to impair vision ,horns may get shaved which is like having an extreme dental treatment without anaesthetic.in a fight the bull is attacked by men on foot and horseback with lances and harpoons called banderillas.the matador then forces the confused and exhausted bull to make it charge before attempting to kill the bull with a sword.if the bull is not killed it is stabbed repeatly untill paralysed .when the bull collaspes its spinal cord is cut and ears are cut off as trophies.i expect spanish people may be offended by post as part of ther culture but cruelity is wrong.

Pokemon and the power of nostalgia
Pokemon Go may be the biggest game on the planet right now, but its little monsters first sprang on the scene in the mid-1990s. The BBC's Heather Chen remembers the unique emotional connection the game made with its earliest users.
Some girls loved Hello Kitty. Others played with Barbie. I grew up with Pokemon.
For many '90s children, video game characters were almost like friends.
I was nine when I first discovered the game. So for me, Pokemon Go wasn't just the start of a craze. It was more than just soaring share prices and renewed interest in the Japanese gaming giant.
This was the news that would reawaken an entire generation of aspiring Pokemon masters, now adults.Pokemon Go fever is a result of many things: a clever concept with smartphones, aviral marketing campaign and not forgetting the franchise's powerful emotional connection with fans.
Nostalgia is indeed a huge part of the formula, but there are other more emotional factors that could help explain Pokemon madness.read bbc link

Matt cook an interview
What inspired you? I'm interested in a whole range of fortean phenomena. But I became interested in big cats roaming the uk sometime in the 80s when I heard stories of the exmoor beast on the news. I can remember going a school camp as a child in the late 80s on the edge of exmoor and we were regaled with more stories of the cats by our teachers, which but the shit up us kids, I don't mind admitting. Then fast forward a few years to the early 90s, myself and two friends had driven from Bristol over the bridge into Wales as one friend new a farmer just outside of newport and we had his permission to use a bit of his land to mess around with our air rifles, just target shooting and the like.
It was getting on in the day and my two comrades in arms were down on theirs bellies shooting over the brow of a hill, sniper style. I had decided that I'd had enough of shooting tin cans and I was next to them on the hill but I was on my back facing across a small valley just enjoying the sun. It was then that I noticed a large creature chasing a collie dog around an oak tree in the field opposite. It took me a moment to realise that I was watching a large black cat chasing the poor dog in circles around the large oak. Now due to the passage of time the details have become a little blurred and I can't remember how long we watched it for. But although it was clear that we were watching with the naked eye we all got a good look through our rifle scopes. And we all agreed that what we saw was a big cat of the non domestic variety. It carried on chasing the dog for some almost playing with it, then for some reason the cat just seemed to get bored at which point it belted up to the top of the field, through a fence never to be seen by us again.
So this combination of events have stayed with me over the years and the knowledge from my one sighting and of all the research and interviews I've conducted with witnesses over the years has very much inspired me to further my knowledge of creatures I'm sure are out there.
My Aims: Well I go "cating" with a friend of mine, all though I must admit we haven't been out for some time as I've been doing a little travelling, first down under to see family and of course a little yowie hunting and then to canada where I had a little poke around for sasquatch on vancouver island. Ed my cating companion and I have talked at length about our aims, and if we found conclusive proof from video of photographic evidence then we would just sit on it. Our goal is to just sight them and study them. The reason we would keep a lid on it is due to the safety of the animal. The last thing we would want would be some nutter with a gun trying to get a trophy ( as one certain well to do landowner I interviewed in 2014 threatened to do)
Plans for the future: Well I'm still really getting settled back into uk life but I'm hoping to get out after the cats again and hopefully Ed and I can get the trail can up again. We have formulated a pattern of seasonal movements from logging sightings in the Somerset area on a map so it would be nice if we could get real confirmation of this.

Was the Big Bang really the Big BOUNCE?
It was the discovery that shook the world of physics - back in March scientists using the Bicep2 telescope in Antarctica found evidence for the period after the Big Bang.
Since that discovery, however, questions have arisen not only on its validity, but also its implications for science as a whole.
And now if might force us to reconsider how the universe formed, with some suggesting the cosmos didn’t start with a Big Bang but rather a ‘Big Bounce Researchers say that our universe may have begun as a Big Bounce rather than just a Big Bang. It suggests that our universe didn¿t necessarily begin from a singularity, but rather 'rebounded' from the collapse of a previous universe, sort of like how a spring (shown) becomes harder to compress as it is squashed
The theory was published in Physical Review Letters by a team of Chinese and Canadian researchers, and follows up on previous work from other scientists, notably Martin Bojowald of Pennstlvania State University in June 2007.
The Big Bounce theory states that our universe didn’t necessarily begin from a singularity, but rather ‘rebounded’ from the collapse of a previous universe.
And evidence for this apparently exists in the data from the Bicep2 experiment-read more
HD 131399Ab: Astronomers Find Super-Jupiter in Triple-Star System
The newfound alien world, named HD 131399Ab, resides in the HD 131399 system, about 320 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Centaurus.
Its orbit around HD 131399A, the brightest of the three stars, is by far the widest known within a multi-star system. Such orbits are often unstable, because of the complex and changing gravitational attraction from the other two stars in the system, and planets in stable orbits were thought to be very unlikely.
“For about half of the planet’s orbit, which lasts 550 Earth-years, three stars are visible in the sky,” said team member Kevin Wagner, from the University of Arizona.
“The fainter two stars are always much closer together, and change in apparent separation from the brightest star throughout the year.”-read more

Penis-shaped fossils from Canadian Rockies solve century-old mystery
Paleontologists have finally identified two kinds of mysterious fossils misidentified for a century — and traced them both to some phallus-shaped worms that lived 505 million years ago and built themselves some very elaborate homes.
Key to solving the mystery was an extraordinary new fossil bed discovered just four years ago and insights gained by the scientists through dissecting the rotting carcasses of some modern worms.
In 1911, American paleontologist Charles Walcott collected a fossil of a strange worm called Oesia disjuncta at the Burgess Shale of B.C.'s Yoho National Park, a now world-famous fossil bed that Walcott had discovered two years earlier.
Another unusual find at the Burgess Shale was Margaretia dorus, which paleontologists proposed in 1933 was an extinct, tubular algae.
Researchers have now concluded that Oesia is a relative of penis-shaped marine animals that still exist today, called acorn worms, and Margaretia was a tubular -read more

DBS checks (previously CRB checks)
Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks are now called Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks.
You may need to check someone’s criminal record if they apply:
- for certain jobs or voluntary work, eg working with children or in healthcare
- to foster or adopt a child
There are different rules for getting a criminal record check in Scotland andNorthern Ireland.
You must do a separate check to make sure a job applicant is allowed to work in the UK.
Who can ask for a DBS check
Only employers and licensing bodies can request a DBS check. Job applicants can’t do a criminal records check on themselves. Instead, they canrequest a basic disclosure from Disclosure Scotland (you don’t have to be from Scotland to do this).
DBS eligibility guidance lists most roles that are eligible for a check. You cancontact DBS if you’re not sure.read more
Brexit: What happens next
What does Brexit mean for the economy?
The Brexit victory sent economic shockwaves through global markets and UK stocks on Friday had their worst drop since the finanical crisis.
The pound on Friday fell to its lowest level since 1985 and emergency steps are now being taken to calm the economic turmoil. Britain has lost its top AAA credit rating.
There is ongoing uncertainty over what will happen when Britain leaves the EU because it has to make new trade agreements with the rest of the world.
Bank of England Governor Mark Carney said: "Some market and economic volatility can be expected as this process unfolds. But we are well prepared for this."
Supporters of Brexit argue that EU countries have every incentive keep trading with the UK, which is a large importer of goods and services.
But Europhiles worry that foreign companies will be less likely to invest here and could relocate their headquarters if Britain loses access to the EU's single market-read more

The Overnight Cure For Cancer (OCC)
Disclaimer
This treatment has not been evaluated by the FDA. The term "cure," as used in this article, is the alternative medicine definition of "cure," meaning the vast majority of the cancer cells are killed or reverted into normal cells.
General Warnings
This is an New Cancer Treatment
This cancer treatment is new. It is experimental, though it has been proven to be totally safe even for very advanced cancer patients. In other words, its safety is NOT experimental, only its effectiveness is experimental. This treatment is based heavily on a great deal of scientific evidence combined with solid cancer theory.
Be aware that chlorine dioxide is toxic in high doses. The doses chosen for this treatment have been chosen to be well within safe, non-toxic levels. However, do not assume significantly higher doses of chlorine dioxide will be safe. Stick within the safe doses of this treatment. Several people have already taken this treatment and no one has had the slightest complaint about the doses.
Also note that this treatment is spread out over 12 hours. This is also part of the safety of this treatment. Do not take the total daily doses in less time than the treatment prescribes!!
By the way, DMSO is far, far less toxic than chlorine dioxide, thus the doses of DMSO are simply not a factor. Earlier versions of this treatment used 25 tablespoons of DMSO without a single complaint. This treatment uses less than 4 tablespoons of DMSO during the entire treatment.
Because this is a new treatment, this article changes from time to time. It is important to read this article in its entirety just before starting the treatment (i.e. after you have obtained the necessary materials). This article is still changing as feedback is received from cancer patients who -read more

The Monkees’: 25 Things We Bet You Didn’t Know About the TV Boy Band
Sight gags, clever word play and physical comedy, one of the catchiest theme songs in TV history, and, oh yeah, a concept that turned a created-for-television musical act into a chart-topping real-life band that once outsold The Beatles and The Rolling Stones… we’re talking about The Monkees, of course, the groundbreaking 1966-68 TV series that produced more fun — and more hit records — than any other musical-themed primetime show.
The series — which made teen pin-up stars of cast/band members Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Peter Tork, and Michael Nesmith — will mark its official 50th anniversary on September 12, but in celebration of this week’s release of the new complete series Blu-ray collection of the TV show from Rhino, we’re rounding up 25 band tales that might surprise even the most devoted Monkee-head… and which should inspire everyone to take a fresh look at the delightfully silly and meta classic.
1. Which came first: The Monkees TV series or The Monkees, The Monkees’ debut album? The TV series debuted on September 12, 1966, while the as-seen-on-TV group’s first, self-titled album debuted on October 10, 1966. The record, which included the number one hit single “Last Train to Clarksville,” spent 13 weeks atop the Billboard 200 album chart, until it was knocked off by… The Monkees’ second album, More of the Monkees, which included the Neil Diamond-penned number one hit “I’m a Believer.”-read more
