The bloodshed continues in Syria with incessant shelling on civilian areas by government forces bent on destroying the rebel movement against President Bashar al-Assad, killing two prominent journalists, Marie Colvin from the U.S. and Remi Ochlik from France. This comes less than a week after New York Times correspondent Anthony Shadid died of an apparent asthma attach in northern Syria and well known opposition journalist Rami al-Sayed was killed in Homs.

These most recent deaths occurred when a house in the Baba Amr area of Homs that was being used by journalists was shelled. It is believed that 10 other people were also killed and 3 other journalists injured by the shelling. Ms. Marie Colvin was a reporter for a British publication the Sunday Times and has over 20 years of experience reporting from war torn areas around the world. She is one of the most respected war correspondents who was dedicated and fearless in her quest to bring the atrocities of war to the notice of the larger world. She only grew stronger in her commitment towards reporting from dangerous places after losing one eye to shrapnel during the conflict in Sri Lanka in 2001.

In a positive break from the negative gloom that has surrounded British economy for a little more than two years the inflation figures were reported to be lower than before. This eventually made the consumer confidence surge which was riddled with a lot of pessimism recorded the highest in April 2010. While the consumers start spending with a better mindset and outlook towards the resurging economy, analysts believe that this can be taken as the start of return of comprehensive stabilization. According to the surveyor Markit’s Household Finance index, consumer pessimism reduced and markets saw an upswing with intuitively could be expected to be reflected in employers feeling more comfortable in increasing their workforce and also increasing the wages for the ones they have already in their recruitment.

The Prime Minister David Cameron has reiterated his commitment to reforming the NHS even as he is criticized for excluding opponents of the bill from a summit held at Downing Street on the issue. He said the talks that were held with some of the people who would be involved with implementing the changes, were constructive and helpful and felt that those against the bill are making up ‘myths’ about the impact of the changes.

Critics of the Health and Social Care Bill that is currently undergoing heated debate in Parliament feel that the Bill should be quashed as it is as present and reformed after discussions with a larger group of professionals. It has emerged that the round table discussion which was to allow chairs of the new GP-led Clinical Commissioning Groups of CCG’s to voice their views with the Mr. Cameron and the Health Secretary Mr. Andrew Lansley, did not include representatives of groups critical to the Bill. Those excluded were four Royal Colleges: those representing GPs, Pathologists, Radiologists and Psychiatrists; and the Health unions not asked to attend included the Royal College of Midwives (RCM), the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), the British Medical Association (BMA), Unite and Unison. Critics of the bill feel that this is a way to privatize the NHS and that if passed the Bill will result in longer waiting periods for treatment.

Flying is something that fascinates everybody, be it the beauty of the bird in full-flight or the smooth-sailing Superman, we all wants to fly, of course other than in our dreams. Here’s a man that is living his dream, yes he can fly. We are talking about the 51- year old Swiss adventurer Yves Rossy, who is known by various names including Airman, Jetman, Rocketman and Fusionman.

In 2008, he became the first man in the world to fly across the English Channel with the support of a homemade single-jet powered wing. The only safety accessories that he was carrying were a helmet and a flight-suit. He covered the 22 Mile distance between France and England within 13 minutes. The monumental day in the life of this adrenaline junkie was an unforgettable one. On a day marked by clear blue skies, he descended from his plane at an altitude of 8,200 feet, within seconds he opened his wings fired up his turbines and headed straight to Britain. He reached some breathtaking speeds up to 125 Miles per hour.

Earlier today, Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy made agreements for sanctioning of an investment of £60bn into a nuclear treaty that would tie the two countries in exchange of cooperation for building nuclear plants in Britain. The agreement will be executed with British and French companies signing further sub-agreements towards work on new nuclear facilities in Britain with French expertise helping render British power situation healthier than it currently is. The country premiers also addressed the media through a joint press conference in which many subjects were touched like Iran’s nuclear program, Syrian unrest, Sarkozy’s campaign trails and Cameron’s decision to leave the eurozone talks last December etc.

With the talk underway news about Rolls Royce signing a £400m deal emerged. The company will sign the deal with the French energy giant Avera to supply EPR services to the first of the planned nuclear sites that will be situated near Somerset in UK. News about similar such deals has and will continue to emerge between various important companies of both countries whilst many citizens especially in UK’s Scotland area vehemently oppose nuclear. Both countries ironically also debated the Iranian situation which did not seem to be puzzling in context to either leader despite the fact the Iran’s denial to nuclear was being discussed and debated by them when they themselves were signing nuclear treaties among themselves.

Woman’s right is an important topic to be discussed considering the many atrocities that are taking place against females across the world.  It is preposterous to say that woman don’t deserve the same fortunes and representation that men get every day.  Why should people not care that their mothers, daughters or sisters etc. are being treated in an unfair manner?  For instance, in the Arab world, it is absolutelydespicable the way woman’s worth are lessened.  It seems as if their rights are greatly inhibited by the simple fact that men deem them unworthy because of their own special interests.  Where do we go from here?  Well allow me to first explain the recent events taking place across the world.

Seven men including the former President Tsuyoshi Kikukawa, former executive vice president Hisashi Mori and former auditor Hideo Yamada of Olympus Corp and their former bankers Akio Nakagawa and Nobumasa Yokoo and two others have been arrested in Japan in connection with a 1.7 billion dollar fraud that was perpetrated in the late 80’s to hide some risky investments made during Japan’s bubble economy.

In October the then chief executive Michael Woodford, a Briton and one of the rare foreign heads of a Japanese firm, questioned some dubious deals, this resulted in his being sacked by the Olympus board. It has since been found that these deals had been used to conceal the losses through complex takeover deals at the endoscope and camera maker. Mr. Woodford told reporters at a news conference that very large sums of money were involved and there is still a long way to go before a complete understanding of the magnitude of the fraud is uncovered, including the extent of the banks involvement.

Hillary Clinton is one of the very few American women who have done it all. She has been the first lady by default after her husband’s win, she became a Presidential hopeful until giving up against to the current president and was then the Secretary of State, a position she currently holds. If she has done all this and possible more with grace is a question open to the readers as there are as many fans of this blonde all-American former first lady as there are critics. Her race for the Presidential position not so long ago got her brickbats for less than qualified comments and gaffes and untimed laughs that made her a social media joke to some extent. However, the position she undertook also got her fans in the American women, most gay men and most feminists of the country.

On Valentine’s Day, we often say ‘love is in the Air’ and that was exactly the case in Liverpool, albeit love of a different kind. Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge made a surprise visit to various charity organizations on Valentine’s Day. She visited the Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, Ronald McDonald House, a home for parents of critically-ill children  and the The Brink Bar; a place for recovering alcoholics.

This is the Kate’s first public outing outside of London without her partner Prince William. Incidentally, he was 8000 miles away working as a RAF search and rescue pilot in Falklands; where he is posted at the moment for six weeks. In-spite of being unable to be together on such a romantic day, Prince William played his part as the doting husband to perfection. He sent some beautiful flowers and a card to greet his wife in the morning. The princess is making use of the available time to warm into the role of a working royal.

What does it mean to go on a date? How does it differ from just a regular outing? Well, if you ask me the difference is the aura of the occasion. When people go on dates searching for the ideal connection, they are hoping for romance to blossom. On the typical excursion where there is no one catching feelings for one another the conversations that take place are nothing special. On a date though what is being talked about is important because it involves what is close to the heart. Love is a funny thing, you can never get enough of it.

Being on a date implies that you and your prospective lover are ready to learn about one another and take a friendship to the next level. There are so many ways you can go on a date. There is the quintessential date of dining at a fine restaurant and then there are more active forms of dating like going on physical expedition. For instance, one can take their partner on a boat ride or frolic around in a carnival. For whatever occasion someone decides to take part in, it is important to be open and communicate effectively with your partner. The conversation on a date revolves around what a pair of lovebirds find interesting and inspiring.
