U.S. Poll Finds 6 in 10 Believe Country Heading in Wrong Direction

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 -- More than six in 10 U.S. citizens believe their country is heading in the wrong direction, while nearly seven in 10 gave negative opinions on the state of the country, a poll found Sunday.

The poll, released by NBC News/Wall Street Journal, showed that 63 percent of respondents said the United States is heading off on the wrong track, while 28 percent say the opposite.

Records showed that the percentage of people who believe the country in the right direction is the lowest since July 2016.

When asked how the state of the United States should be described today, 68 percent of respondents gave negative words and phrases, the most common ones include "wrong track", "disaster/hard times", "parties undermining each other/no compromise."

The poll, which was conducted before the White House struck a deal with the Democratic Party to reopen the government, showed that public opinion on U.S. President Donald Trump had remained largely stable. It is unclear if agreeing to reopen the government without extracting border wall funding from Congress had damaged his support among his base voters.

The U.S. government just came out of its longest shutdown in history, which was caused by a deep partisan divide on immigration policies and if a wall between the United States and Mexico should be built.

Trump, supported by many in the Republican Party, believes that a wall would be useful in curbing the flow of illegal immigrants entering the country, while the Democrats strongly opposed the measure.

After about five weeks of government shutdown, Trump agreed to fund the government for three weeks to allow time for both sides to agree on a border security deal. He has threatened to shut down the government again if talks fail.

The tumultuous political environment was reflected in the recent poll, said Peter Hart, a pollster who participated in making the poll. "Times are grim, the shutdown is front and center," he said.

Aussie Astrologers Discover Big Bang Relic with Giant Telescope

Education and Knowledge Knowledge , Learning

SYDNEY, Dec. 18 -- Aussie astrologers have discovered an ancient relic of the Big Bang, giving them a glimpse 13.7 billion years into the past, research revealed on Tuesday.

Using the world's most powerful optical telescope, scientists from the Swinburne University of Technology (SUT) in Melbourne, identified a pristine gas cloud which they say, due to its condition, must have formed very close to or during the Big Bang.

"Everywhere we look, the gas in the universe is polluted by waste heavy elements from exploding stars," SUT PhD candidate and co-discoverer Fred Robert explained.

"But this particular cloud seems pristine, if it has any heavy elements at all, it must be less than 1/10,000th of the proportion we see in our Sun," Robert said.

That amount of heavy elements is extremely low -- compelling evidence that it is a leftover from the Big Bang.

Using twin 10 metre telescopes at the W.M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii, the team were able to distinguish the cloud's properties, due to the backdrop of a super bright quasar which allowed the spectral shadows of hydrogen in the gas cloud to be seen.

The discovery will help astrologers understand why after the Big Bang, some gas formed stars and galaxies, and others did not.

Does organic eating really reduce the risk of cancer by 25%?

Education and Knowledge Health , Knowledge

A French study of more than 60,000 people shows that regular consumption of organic foods reduces the risk of cancer by 25%. The risk reduction would concern postmenopausal breast cancer and lymphoma (lymphatic system cancers). Interesting results but which do not constitute irrefutable proof ...

Summary

Pesticides again pointed the finger ...
Promote organic food to prevent cancer?
An additional argument in favor of organic, but not irrefutable proof

This large-scale study is the first to assess the link between regular consumption of organically produced foods and the risk of cancer. It was conducted on 68,946 people in France. The participants were followed from May 2009 to November 2016. They were invited to indicate via a questionnaire the frequency of their consumption of organic products (never, occasionally, often). The questionnaire covered 16 foods.

Pesticides again pointed the finger ...

The analysis of the responses shows that the risk of cancer is reduced by 25% among large consumers of organically labeled foods. "Our work has identified a lower risk associated with high consumption of organic foods, for postmenopausal breast cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and other lymphomas." This link has not been demonstrated. for other cancers, "says the authors of the study.

During the study, 1340 cancers appeared in the participants: 459 breast cancers, 180 prostate cancers, 135 skin cancers, 99 colorectal cancers, 47 non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, and 15 lymphomas.

Unsurprisingly, the ban on synthetic pesticides in organically labeled foods would explain this reduction in cancer risk. "Organic farming allows for less or no contamination of food by pesticides compared to conventional agricultural foods, but a 2015 study by the International Agency for Research on Cancer recognized the carcinogenic nature of some pesticides, "says the study. The authors of the study pointed out that diet is the main source of pesticide exposure in humans.

Promote organic food to prevent cancer?

Another French study published in early October established a link between domestic exposure of pesticides and increased risk of cancer in children (especially leukemias and brain cancers). Anti-mosquito products and pet treatments (against fleas and ticks) would be involved.

"This study, the results of which need to be confirmed by other studies, shows that the promotion of organically labeled foods to the general public could be a promising strategy for preventing cancer," suggests the researchers.

An additional argument in favor of organic, but not irrefutable proof

Although this is the first study to be carried out on a large cohort, these results must nevertheless be qualified. Some reservations in the study were advanced by the authors and highlighted in a commentary published in the same medical journal. Critics include:

All non-consumers of organic products were statistically treated in the same way by the study, be it financial problems, difficult availability or lack of interest. This does not reduce the biases associated with different "health behaviors" between consumers of organic products and others. In this study, the comparison of the largest consumers of organic and the others reveals many differences: smokers/nonsmokers, high BMI / normal BMI, age, consumption of meat, fibers, hormonal treatment, levels of education, socio-economic ... Statistical corrections are however supposed to compensate for these differences;
The authors hypothesize that the frequency of consumption of organic products is directly related to exposure to pesticides. This seems logical and confirmed by some studies (which linked this consumption to biomarkers characteristic of pesticides found in urine) ... but not by others;
The participants in the study were volunteers who were particularly concerned about their health, mostly women (78%). A sample not necessarily representative of a general population;
The exact quantities of organic products consumed were not reported by the participants;
The follow-up period was short (7 years), failing to observe the long-term effects of a predominantly organic diet or a diet from conventional agriculture.

Admittedly, this study constitutes an additional argument in favor of a consumption of organic products but it does not allow, either, to close the debate ...

Other good habits can reduce the risk of cancer: quitting, eating well, reducing alcohol use, and regular physical activity.

Health, Flu vaccine: when to get vaccinated?

Education and Knowledge Health , Knowledge

At what time of the year is it recommended to get a flu shot? Can we still be vaccinated late in the season? Why redo the vaccine every year? Are we all concerned with influenza vaccination? Explanations and recommendations.

Summary

The vaccine against the flu: the vaccination calendar
Why an annual vaccination?
What is the composition of the 2018-2019 flu vaccine?
Who is affected by vaccination?

The vaccine against the flu: the vaccination calendar

Low temperatures, low humidity ... These are the weather conditions conducive to the circulation of viruses! In the Northern Hemisphere, the seasonal flu epidemic occurs in the fall and generally continues until the end of winter. To counter it, the influenza vaccination campaign starts in October and lasts four months. This vaccination schedule aims to anticipate the viral peak usually reached in January.

The health authorities recommend that the population be vaccinated each year, and at the earliest ... Preferably from mid-October or during the month of November.

For latecomers, it is still possible to get vaccinated against this virus late in the season. However, be aware that once the vaccine is administered, it will take a fortnight before the antibodies can take effect.

Why an annual vaccination?

Six to 9 months ... This is the length of time the antibodies will persist in your body. After this period, you will no longer be protected against the flu. This is the first reason why it is essential to renew this vaccine every year.

The second? New viral strains enter circulation each year. Seasonal influenza outbreaks are caused by viruses of type A and B, in constant mutation. The flu vaccine contains three or even four viral strains. These type A and B strains are selected each year by a group of scientific experts, depending on the viruses circulating in the year in question. The composition of the influenza vaccine varies from one year to the next.

What is the composition of the 2018-2019 flu vaccine?

This new trivalent vaccine distributed in the Northern Hemisphere will consist of three strains, including two strains of type A virus: a first H1N1 collected in 2015 in Michigan and already included in the composition of the vaccine version 2017-2018, and a second H3N taken in Singapore in 2016.

Regarding the strain of type B virus, scientists selected a virus collected in 2017 in Colorado.

Finally, an additional viral strain, type B will enter the composition of quadrivalent influenza vaccines (consisting of four strains, ed). This is a type B virus, collected in 2013 in Phuket, Thailand.

Who is affected by vaccination?

In France, every year, more than 2.5 million people are affected by this viral infection. An infection most often benign which is cured in a few days. The prescription is succinct: rest, rehydration and taking antipyretics in case of fever.

And yet, the flu is responsible each year for a large number of medical complications that can lead to death. In France, the 2016-2017 influenza epidemic has led to more than 1,500 resuscitation hospitalizations and nearly 14,400 deaths. Among the subjects most exposed to medical complications: people aged 65 and over, pregnant women, children under 5, obese individuals, those suffering from certain chronic diseases ...

Health authorities count nearly 12 million medically vulnerable French people because of a weakened immune system. In these individuals, the use of influenza vaccine is strongly recommended. To facilitate access to this preventive vaccination, they will receive at home a voucher for taking care of the vaccine by the Health Insurance.

As part of an experiment in force in certain regions of France, it is now possible to get vaccinated directly by its pharmacist. A device that remains reserved for people "at risk", with the exception of pregnant women.

Health authorities also insist on the high risk of transmission of the virus by air, in case of coughing or sneezing in particular. Thus, the flu vaccine remains recommended for people in regular contact with individuals at risk of complications. It is the same for health professionals.

Health, Why is our gut our second brain?

Education and Knowledge Health , Knowledge

Have "fear on the stomach" or "knotted stomach", "digest information", "take guts" ... Expressions of everyday life that speak volumes about the importance of our digestive system ... And who takes a whole new dimension in light of new scientific discoveries that elevate the gut and its microbiota to the rank of the second brain! Back on the advent of an organ unloved, which must be cared for.

Summary

The importance of the intestinal microbiota
The 200 million neurons of the digestive tract
The intestine, seat of our emotions
The intestine, a new research track for Parkinson's disease

USA, 1999. Professor Michael Gershon, neuro-gastroenterologist at Columbia University (New York) for the first time qualifies the gut as a "second brain". Pioneering work that highlights the importance of the gut-brain axis.

The importance of the intestinal microbiota

Our organization hosts a large number of bacterial species. These communities of microorganisms, called "microbiota" elect domicile in different places of our body: the mouth, the skin, the vagina ... But especially the intestine! This organ, which measures approximately 8 meters long, is home to up to 100,000 billion bacteria, mainly located in the small intestine and especially the colon. Scientists estimate that nearly 90% of feces are ... bacteria! These bacteria, associated with other microorganisms such as viruses and yeasts, form the "intestinal flora" now renamed "intestinal microbiota" by the scientific community.

In utero, the digestive tract of the fetus remains a sterile medium. At birth, breastfeeding, dietary diversification ... the gut microbiota of an individual is formed over the years, to contain nearly 1000 different bacterial species in a healthy adult. A bacterial world that weighs nearly 2 kilograms and that specialists increasingly apprehend as an organ in its own right, just like the heart, the lung or even the brain! Because, beyond its role in digestion, the microbiota plays a major role in metabolic, immune and neurological functions.

The 200 million neurons of the digestive tract

Experts estimate that nearly 200 million neurons line our digestive tract. The same neurons as those lodged in our brain! "It is a true autonomic nervous system that is set up during embryogenesis," recounts Francisca Joly Gomez, gastroenterologist, professor of nutrition at the University Paris-Diderot and author of the book Gut, our second brain.

Ensuring intestinal motility is the first function of this nervous system called "enteric". "It allows the intestine to contract, especially to advance the bolus," says Francisca Joly Gomez. "What organization would be such a network of nerves to handle a common pipe smoker?" Asks the German doctoral student Giulia Enders humorously in his best-selling book The discreet charm of the intestine. Indeed, 80% of these nerve cells are actually responsible for transmitting information from our intestines into our brain.

Our digestive tract thus remains in permanent interaction with our central nervous system, ie the brain. How? Through hormonal secretions. "As the brain, the neurons of the gut are able to produce hormones and neurotransmitters, such as dopamine or serotonin," says Francisca Joly Gomez. Thus, the neurons that line our digestive tract produce as much dopamine as the brain and secrete up to 95% of the serotonin present in the body. Two hormones that we know are so indispensable to our psychic health!

The intestine, seat of our emotions

Yes, our emotions are also lodged in our gut. Have "fear on the stomach" or "knotted stomach", "digest information", "take guts" ... These expressions of everyday life have a scientific explanation. In situations of stress or anxiety, our brain will send messages to our gut. Consequences: the latter will contract, causing spasm and altering the intestinal transit ... In times of stress or depression, the digestive system will also produce more ghrelin, a hormone that controls appetite and fat loss ... Psychic health, digestive and metabolic ... Everything is intimately linked! "The role of the gut microbiota in psychic diseases (depression, anxiety-depressive syndrome) or eating disorders (anorexia nervosa, bulimia) are thus new areas of research," recounts Francisca Joly Gomez.

The intestine, a new research track for Parkinson's disease

According to recent studies, neurodegenerative diseases may also be born in the gut. Researchers are particularly interested in Parkinson's disease, which attacks neurons. "In people with Parkinson's disease, we find that the neurons of the gut present the same abnormalities that are usually found in the brain," says Francisca Joly Gomez. "Moreover, in many patients, digestive disorders such as constipation may precede neurological and motor disorders ... These scientific discoveries suggest the possibility of new medical examinations to diagnose the disease early".

It is certain that our second brain has not finished animating the scientific community!

Health, Ball in the breast: when should you worry?

Education and Knowledge Health , Knowledge

The discovery of an unusual size in the breast always raises many questions. When should you worry? The point with Dr. Nasrine Callet, gynecologist-oncologist and Dr. Anne-Vincent Salomon, anatomopathologist at the Curie Institute.

Summary

The majority of sizes are not cancers
Examine your breasts regularly

1.The majority of sizes are not cancers

Even if the situation proves to be anxiety-provoking, the appearance of a ball or a size in the breast is not always linked to a serious pathology or cancer. Indeed, in 90% of cases, these abnormalities are benign.

Most of the time, it can be:

From a cyst or fibroadenoma quite benign;
Hamartoma (tissue malformation);
Lipoma (benign tumor consisting of fatty tissue);
From a maltose nodule ...

However, examinations are necessary to ensure the benign nature of the size. If you notice an abnormality, consult your doctor. He will then very often prescribe a mammogram, an ultrasound or even a biopsy if necessary in order to carry out additional analyzes. Depending on the case, it may also propose surgery to remove the nodule or cyst if it turns out to be inconvenient.

2.Examine your breasts regularly

At any age, apart from annual check-ups with your doctor or gynecologist, it is important to make a habit of observing your breasts and palpating them. "It is advisable to make this observation every 2 or 3 months and at the beginning of the cycle. Indeed, cysts can be present and disappear simply at the arrival of the rules," says Dr. Nasrine Collet.

Observe yourself in front of the ice cream. Take the time to spot any changes in the texture and shape of your breasts. If you feel lumpiness in the breast or armpit, if you see redness or nipple discharge, consult your doctor. "Nipple discharge is not necessarily dangerous, it can be caused by a papilloma that simply has to be removed," says Dr. Anne-Vincent Salomon.

If the size is a hard, immobile ball that grows rapidly over the weeks, talk to your doctor right away. Same if you observe a change in the texture of the skin (if it becomes "cardboard" or takes the appearance of an orange peel, for example). "The longer the person waits, the more difficult the situation may be - get yourself examined for a quick response to the situation," adds Dr. Anne-Vincent Salomon.

Health, Top 10 anti-cancer foods

Education and Knowledge Health , Knowledge

The medical and scientific community agrees on the "anti-cancer" power of a number of foods. What are they ? How to consume them? And what benefits on our health? Here are the 10 anti-cancer foods to adopt on our plate.

Summary

Cabbage
The tomato
Garlic and onion
Berries
The grenade
Citrus fruits
Soy
Turmeric
Green tea
Olive oil

1.Cabbage

Broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale or kale ... The cabbages belong to the cruciferous family. Numerous scientific studies highlight the anticancer effects of regular consumption of cabbage1,2,3: reduction of the risks of cancer of the bladder, lung, stomach, colon, rectum or prostate. In question: their content in phytochemical anticancer compounds, glucosinolates. These substances, however, remain particularly soluble in water. They are also sensitive to heat. Limit prolonged cooking and chew well to maximize the release of these active molecules.

2.The tomato

Like all red fruits and vegetables, the tomato contains lycopene: a powerful antioxidant of the carotenoid family. Several studies have shown a lower prevalence of prostate cancer among heavy users of tomatoes and tomato products such as concentrates or coulis4,5,6. Eating twice a week meals made from tomato sauce would reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 30%! The action of lycopene is indeed potentiated by the cooking associated with fat.

3.Garlic and onion

Garlic and onion have been the subject of numerous studies revealing their role in preventing cancers of the digestive system (the stomach, the esophagus, the colon), but also the prostate7,8,9! Anticancer properties that they owe mainly to their content of sulfur compounds housed in their bulbs. To benefit from their exceptional nutritional properties, consume garlic and onion, preferably freshly crushed.

4.Berries

Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries or strawberries are full of polyphenols, such as ellagic acid, anthocyanidins and proanthocyanidins. Scientists have succeeded in highlighting the anti-cancer potential of these polyphenols10,11, particularly with regard to cancers of the colon, stomach and prostate. During the seasonal harvest season, eat them preferably fresh. In the off-season, opt for frozen berries.

5.The grenade

The pomegranate is full of antioxidant molecules, mainly located in the juice and skin of the fruit. Its antioxidant power would be 3 to 4 times greater than that of wine or green tea! Many studies have highlighted the anti-cancer properties of pomegranate12, particularly with respect to hormone-dependent cancers such as breast and prostate. Their conclusions are unanimous: to maximize the benefits of pomegranate, it is better to consume it daily in the form of juice, rather than in the form of fresh fruit.

6.Citrus fruits

Oranges, citrons, grapefruits, tangerines ... Citrus fruits are famous for their exceptional vitamin C content. They also contain other phytochemicals that can interfere with carcinogens. Several studies have highlighted the benefits of citrus fruit in preventing cancers of the mouth, esophagus and stomach13-14. Consume citrus fruits preferably in the form of whole fruits.

7.Soy

Soybeans, soy flour, miso, tofu ... Soybeans and their derivatives contain polyphenols, called isoflavones. Their particularity? They mimic the effect of estrogen! Many scientific studies have shown that high consumption of soy (at a rate of 50 g per day) would reduce the risk of breast cancer, and more broadly the incidence of hormone-dependent cancers15,16.

8.Turmeric

Curcumin is the main compound of turmeric. It is responsible for the unique color of this spice but also its antioxidant and anticancer properties. According to the medical and scientific community, curcumin would be beneficial both in the prevention and in the treatment of various cancers17 such as those of the colon, stomach, intestine, liver, breast, ovary and even skin. To improve the bioavailability of curcumin, consume turmeric in synergy with pepper or ginger.

9.Green tea

Green tea contains in its leaves polyphenols called catechins. Molecules with antifungal, antibacterial and anti-cancer properties18. Studies have highlighted its benefits in the prevention of cancers of the mouth, colon and prostate. To get the most out of its polyphenols, let your green tea brew for 8 to 10 minutes then consume it freshly brewed.

10.Olive oil

She is the star of the Mediterranean diet. Olive oil contains a molecule with anti-inflammatory properties called "oleocanthal" and has been proven in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. This molecule, through its mechanism of action within our body, also has valuable anti-cancer properties. Make the most of virgin (or extra-virgin) olive oils that are extracted cold.

Healthy, easy way to relieve chest pains

Education and Knowledge Health , Knowledge

Chest pain can be a sign of serious heart disease, especially if it happens with other symptoms, such as nausea, dizziness, sweating, chest pains, and difficulty breathing, but most chest vibrations can be a reaction A simple body of matter that affects stress, fatigue, anxiety, and alcohol intake, and richly carnal beverages. Ein. However, if you do not yet want to use chest pain, you can also try the following:

a cough

One of the most effective and simple ways to regain heart rate is to cough a few times. It will increase the pressure in the chest, thus stopping the abnormal heart rhythm.

Breathe deeply and slowly

If chest pain is caused by anxiety or anxiety, deep breathing can be very beneficial. Nothing can stop the heartbeat because of anxiety or nervousness over slow and deep breathing. Sit down and breathe through the nose slowly until the stomach is full. And hold for a few seconds before re-delivering by mouth. Do this a few times until the chest is shaken.

Eat juice

One of the root causes of dehydration is dehydration, which can be easily adjusted by taking plenty of water. It is said that choosing cold water is a good thing. Drinking cold water will make your chest cooler as well as stimulate the normal heartbeat.

Cold shower

It's not the same as drinking cold water. Cooling baths can make the body cool, which causes the heart to bite back to normal. If you do not have cold water, just use a few drops of cold water.

Eat foods rich in magnesium

Magnesium deficiency can also cause chest pain. And that's why this can be prevented by eating a diet rich in magnesium every day. Some of the great sources of this mineral include green vegetables, beets, cereals, bananas, avocados, and yogurt.

Health, Four types of foods help to reduce the risk of cancer

Education and Knowledge Health , Knowledge

Here we will show you foods that do not make your cancer worse. What's going on?

1. You only eat foods containing vitamin C and A, such as carrots, tomatoes, peppers, and fresh vegetables. These vegetables and fruits contain these vitamins that can prevent the growth of cancer cells. As a result, your cancer is not serious.

2. Stuffy foods, such as cabbage or pineapple, can also help keep you from getting sick, as well as making it easier for you to get your feet out of the way.

3. You should eat foods that are high in protein and contain lots of nutrients, especially vitamin A. Foods that contain these substances can help prevent the virus from spreading in your body, making your cancer less contagious.

4. You should eat blue beans or cauliflower, because these foods can release toxins in your body, without damaging them in your body, making your illness worse. So these foods you should eat to support your cancer treatment.

"Climate protection is just a torturous process"

Education and Knowledge Knowledge , Learning

It hardly gets more annoying: when the IPCC meets, every word is quarreled. Can meaningful climate protection come out? Even so, says researcher Ottmar Edenhofer.

The struggle for more climate protection continues. What would the world community have to do to reach the two-degree goal? Would actually 1.5 degrees already too much? How can you prevent the globe from becoming irresistibly warm soon? When the IPCC meets, it will be bureaucratic, political and diplomatic. Can anything be created at all, what all hold in the end? Ottmar Edenhofer himself was involved in such negotiations. He has explained to us why the exhausting struggle for each paragraph is important.

ZEIT ONLINE: In South Korea at the moment, the IPCC meets with government representatives to vote on the summary of the "Special Report 1.5 degrees". You led such a procedure in 2014 in Berlin. What happens?

Ottmar Edenhofer: Very much. The scientists have prepared a draft. Set by sentence, this summary is projected on the wall. The government representatives then ask, for example, if some things could not be formulated differently, if others had to be considered. And the scientists explain why each aspect is important. Sentence by sentence is gone through this way. If there are no more objections, the chairman takes a hammer, beats everyone audibly on the table and says "Adopted." Then the sentence can no longer be negotiated.

directed. What happens?

Ottmar Edenhofer: Very much. The scientists have prepared a draft. Set by sentence, this summary is projected on the wall. The government representatives then ask, for example, if some things could not be formulated differently, if others had to be considered. And the scientists explain why each aspect is important. Sentence by sentence is gone through this way. If there are no more objections, the chairman takes a hammer, beats everyone audibly on the table and says "Adopted." Then the sentence can no longer be negotiated.

ZEIT ONLINE: Is not that pretty grueling?

Edenhofer: In the first few days you think we will never finish, because at the beginning the delegates get stuck in trivial matters. But that's tactics. The important things are to be negotiated under time pressure, when the nerves are already blank and the sleep deprivation is noticeable. Experienced diplomats know that they can punch through their crucial concerns here. In this situation, the presidents need to prove their nerves, tolerate threats and always remain friendly. If you lose your temper, you have lost. Miraculously, so far, the document has been passed after a week.

ZEIT ONLINE: A procedure by which governments try to smuggle their interests into the document?

Edenhofer: In principle yes - but only in the summary for the decision makers, the actual report remains the work of science. In the chapter on the 5th Assessment Report of the IPCC, in which I accompanied the procedure as co-chairman, there was also a so-called technical summary of the 1,450-page report. That was very helpful because we could always say that what you expect from us is not covered by the report. It was very important to me to uphold the scientific integrity of the document. But of course governments are trying to influence.

ZEIT ONLINE: Give us an example?

Edenhofer: There were several graphics depicting historical emissions from different perspectives. Among other things, it showed how much the countries have emitted since industrialization and the relationship between wealth and CO2 emissions: The richer the population of a country became, the more its emissions also increased. Of course, such a graph shows that the developing countries are unfortunately taking the same wrong route as the industrialized countries used to. At that time, however, states like India or China did not want to see it so clearly documented. They have prevailed, so the graphics flew out of the summary for policy makers. Later, however, we made it very visible in the journal, not to the delight of the countries that banished these graphics from decision makers (Science: Dubash et al., 2014).

ZEIT ONLINE: Politics is trying to get a good result from science - is not that absurd?

Edenhofer: Maybe for outsiders, but I always defended the procedure. For governments must take note of the entire report. The I in the abbreviation IPCC is not at the IPCC "International", but for "Intergovernmental". That is the uniqueness of this body.

ZEIT ONLINE: To what extent?

Edenhofer: All governments are involved, must agree with the report and have influence and access to the scientific reports. By implication, that means that not even Saudi Arabia can claim that we have no climate problem. Of course, Saudi Arabia also records the reports. All countries are forced to deal intensively with science, sentence by sentence, that's great. Who wants to change the summary for decision-makers, must have read the report very carefully, otherwise the intervention remains ineffective. And no government can enforce its interests against all others alone!

ZEIT ONLINE: But should such a report not purely based on scientific findings - especially if he serves as a decision-making policy?

Edenhofer: The decision makers are usually not lacking in opinions, they lack a well-founded overview of the possible solutions. Without the Expert Council, politicians often would not even be able to identify the options they have to solve a problem. In this respect, the work of the IPCC is important and correct: the IPCC involves politics and science in a mutual learning process. And climate protection is just a tormenting process because it's about a lot going on. But the goal is worth the pain: in the end, it is about protecting people from risks such as extreme weather, sea-level rise, economic damage, and additional conflicts.

Top News To Go: Secret Women's Summit: Merkel met with SPD politicians

Education and Knowledge Business , Knowledge

► Chancellor and CDU leader Angela Merkel met on September 12 with about 50 women from the Bundestag faction of the SPD. This reports the "mirror" in its current issue.
► The idea for the women's summit should come from a little-known SPD politician and be created in March.
► According to the report, the meeting was kept secret for reasons of external concern.

Why the message from the women's summit is important:

The Grand Coalition has been on the verge of this legislature several times.the Reason were differences between the parties in the refugee policy (before the summer break) and in dealing with constitutional protection president Hans -Georg Maaßen (after the summer break).

For the SPD is even more than for the CDU their credibility at stake.

In view of the Maaßen dispute, which was negotiated at the same time as the planned meeting in the Interior Committee and after deliberations in the Group Executive Committee, the representative of SPD leader Andrea Nahles, Katja Mast said the meeting, according to "mirror" from the day before. When Merkel asked for the reason, the SPD women should have retaken their bosses and arranged the meeting again.

The women had objectively exchanged but agreed not to let anything leak outside.

This shows that the coalition still has a basis for cooperation. But the secrecy shows how much the issues are superimposed by partisan considerations.

What you still need to know:

According to "mirror" Nahles is said to have asked to take any photos at the meeting. Too big was apparently the concern, it could be public.

But supposedly a picture was created - at the request of Merkel. It has not become public. At least not yet.

What is health promotion?

Education and Knowledge Health , Knowledge

A: Health promotion allows people to improve the control of their own health. It covers a wide range of social and environmental interventions designed to promote and protect the health and quality of life at the individual level by addressing the main causes of ill health, including prevention, and not only focusing on treatment and healing.

Health promotion has 3 essential elements:
