Human body is actually a living machine and is like all other machines. This living machine needs fuel to supply it with energy. The fuel is provided by the food which we eat. However do we know how much we need to stay healthy?
The energy value of food is usually measured in calories. A calorie is the amount of heat which is required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1 degree C. The number of calories which people need per day varies. It depends on the activity which the people are involved in. For example; people will need more calories for standing than for sitting, people need more for running than for walking, etc.
The energy which is provided by food is in the form of three kinds of chemical substances. They are carbohydrate, protein and fat. Carbohydrate provides 8.8 calories per gram (cal/gm) of energy, protein 4.0 cal/gm and fat 8.0 cal/gm. Each food contains different proportion of these substances.

Cumbrian police and medics this evening issued a stark warning after an infected batch of heroin had fatal consequences for drug users in Scotland.
Police are urging people to be extremely vigilant after two heroin users were positively tested for Anthrax in the Greater Glasgow and Clyde areas of Scotland. One of the drug users died and it is believed the death was due to a heroin batch being infected by the lethal bacteria.
Any injecting drug users who experience abnormal pain or swelling at an injection site or a feverish temperature should immediately seek medical help at their nearest A&E.
Detective Superintendent Paul Carter, who is responsible for Cumbria Constabulary's drug squads, said: "Drug abuse is extremely dangerous at all times but it is particularly important for users to be vigilant at the moment as an infected batch of heroin has affected users in other parts of the UK and if an infected dose makes its way into Cumbria, it could have fatal consequences.
"If you are a drug user and display any unusual signs or develop an infection, you should go to hospital immediately.
"Anybody with information about drug supply in the county should contact Cumbria police as a matter of urgency on 0845 33 00 247 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
Prof John Ashton is NHS Cumbria’s Director of Public Health, he said: “Although so far the drug users who’ve tested positive for Anthrax are in Scotland, if there is a contaminated batch of Heroin going around it could easily make its way into Cumbria through supply routes.
“Anyone who injects drugs and experiences any unusual symptoms such as swelling or pain at the injection site should seek medical help immediately as Anthrax can be lethal.”

The existence of the Loch Ness monster has been debated since centuries ago.
In my opinion, there is a great chance that the Loch Ness monster, often nicknamed Nessie does exist in Loch Ness, Scotland.
Many attempts to prove it, such as the famous expedition led by Dr. Robert Rines in the year 1972. He and his fellow scientists found recorded evidence using a sonar that something big indeed lives in the great loch. Many sightings by professionals that are unlikely to lie say that Nessie has the form of an aquatic animal much like extinct plesiosaurus. Photographs of the monster has also been taken by people trying to find evidence, and many of this photographs has been proved real and not a hoax.
But unfortunately, not all of these evidence are authentic. Photographs, videos, even Nessie footprints has been faked. And until now, no one, not even scientists has come up with a carcass or live specimen of this creature. Until then, we may never be sure that a living creature the so called Loch Ness monster is really living in the loch.

Human body is actually a living machine and is like all other machines. This living machine needs fuel to supply it with energy. The fuel is provided by the food which we eat. However do we know how much we need to stay healthy?
The energy value of food is usually measured in calories. A calorie is the amount of heat which is required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1 degree C. The number of calories which people need per day varies. It depends on the activity which the people are involved in. For example; people will need more calories for standing than for sitting, people need more for running than for walking, etc.
The energy which is provided by food is in the form of three kinds of chemical substances. They are carbohydrate, protein and fat. Carbohydrate provides 8.8 calories per gram (cal/gm) of energy, protein 4.0 cal/gm and fat 8.0 cal/gm. Each food contains different proportion of these substances. These three chemical substances are all important for body staying healthy.

Taj Mahal is regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world. It was built by a Muslim Emperor Shah Japan in the memory of his dear wife at Agra. Taj Mahal is a Mausoleum that houses the grave of queen Mumtaz Mahal. The mausoleum is a part of a vast complex comprising of a main gateway, an elaborate garden, a mosque (to the left), a guest house (to the right), and several other palatial buildings. The Taj is at the farthest end of this complex, with the river Jamura behind it.
The Taj stands on a raised, square platform (186 x 186 feet) with its four comers truncated, forming an unequal octagon. The architectural design uses the interlocking arabesque concept, in which each element stands on its own and perfectly integrates with the main structure. It uses the principles of self-replicating geometry and a symmetry of architectural elements.
Its central dome is fifty-eight feet in diameter and rises to a height of 213 feet_ It is flanked by four subsidiary domed chambers. The four graceful, slender minarets are 162.5 feet each. The central domed chamber and four adjoining chambers include many walls and panels of Islamic decoration.

Cumbrian police and medics this evening issued a stark warning after an infected batch of heroin had fatal consequences for drug users in Scotland.
Police are urging people to be extremely vigilant after two heroin users were positively tested for Anthrax in the Greater Glasgow and Clyde areas of Scotland. One of the drug users died and it is believed the death was due to a heroin batch being infected by the lethal bacteria.
Any injecting drug users who experience abnormal pain or swelling at an injection site or a feverish temperature should immediately seek medical help at their nearest A&E.
Detective Superintendent Paul Carter, who is responsible for Cumbria Constabulary's drug squads, said: "Drug abuse is extremely dangerous at all times but it is particularly important for users to be vigilant at the moment as an infected batch of heroin has affected users in other parts of the UK and if an infected dose makes its way into Cumbria, it could have fatal consequences.
"If you are a drug user and display any unusual signs or develop an infection, you should go to hospital immediately.
"Anybody with information about drug supply in the county should contact Cumbria police as a matter of urgency on 0845 33 00 247 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
Prof John Ashton is NHS Cumbria’s Director of Public Health, he said: “Although so far the drug users who’ve tested positive for Anthrax are in Scotland, if there is a contaminated batch of Heroin going around it could easily make its way into Cumbria through supply routes.
“Anyone who injects drugs and experiences any unusual symptoms such as swelling or pain at the injection site should seek medical help immediately as Anthrax can be lethal.”

The existence of the Loch Ness monster has been debated since centuries ago.
In my opinion, there is a great chance that the Loch Ness monster, often nicknamed Nessie does exist in Loch Ness, Scotland.
Many attempts to prove it, such as the famous expedition led by Dr. Robert Rines in the year 1972. He and his fellow scientists found recorded evidence using a sonar that something big indeed lives in the great loch. Many sightings by professionals that are unlikely to lie say that Nessie has the form of an aquatic animal much like extinct plesiosaurus. Photographs of the monster has also been taken by people trying to find evidence, and many of this photographs has been proved real and not a hoax.
But unfortunately, not all of these evidence are authentic. Photographs, videos, even Nessie footprints has been faked. And until now, no one, not even scientists has come up with a carcass or live specimen of this creature. Until then, we may never be sure that a living creature the so called Loch Ness monster is really living in the loch. I think we should keep a look out for this creature, we might find Nessie as a living dinosaur who survived extinction!
