Bonn scientists discover Schlankheitsgen

Bonn -
This will be cheering all the women: Bonner developmental biologists have discovered a Schlankheitsgen - in fruit flies.
The expert explained: "larvae in which this hereditary factor is defective, losing its entire store fat."
Fittingly, the previously unknown gene was given to control of fat metabolism called "slim". What does this mean for mankind? The scientists are hopeful: Because mammals possess a similar group of genes, the "Let 'genes could use one of this discovery for future anti-obesity drugs.
But so far it is far: "It certainly takes ten years, would be to such a preparation on the market", the evolutionary biologist Professor Michael Hoch said. There go first necessary to explore in basic research, the effect of the gene family and its role in the regulation of body fat.
The Bonn group of researchers was able to save with "Let" genes from the mouse, the defective "lean" gene in flies mutant in part. "Normally, the larvae died immediately after hatching," said Hoch. Thanks to the "Leave" gene, they built back on body fat and survived into the next stage of development. "We therefore consider it very likely that the" Let 'genes regulate lipid metabolism in mammals. " If this is the case, it would be a promising target for new drugs against obesity.
The researchers were able to trigger activation of a "lean" gene in fruit flies the other way around building fat reserves.

Men grabbed in the crotch

Cologne - Whoever grabs in the presence of a lady to an unseemly place, and can end up very quickly on the dock.
That's what happened to a 42-year-olds, who now must pay a fine. Crime scene: The tram stop Klettenbergpark in September 2008. There were two young women just looked at the timetable.

Although he admitted, then one of the young ladies as a "bitch" has to be dubbed. Of a sexual act he wanted to know. "He grinned perverse," said a witness, but aus.Und the judge believed the women.

How much of Europe is with us?

Brussels - Everywhere, posters, campaigning constantly on TV. Next Sunday Europe should choose its parliament.
Why is that? What to bring us to the regulations and directives from Brussels and Strasbourg? Especially cucumber, okay. But that is rather silly, so this policy is also tilted back. What else? Where Europe defines our daily lives? Surprisingly, everywhere - and that makes the choice so important to us.
Do you know of Directive 2005/32/EC? Or 96/62 EC? Perhaps falling in the keyword or eco-directive on air quality of the penny? No? These characterize the still your everyday life. The former ensures that you are at the hardware store in September, the good old light bulb can not buy anymore. And the latter is responsible for ensuring that sticks to the windshield of your car a little plaque.
Both laws being behind it have been adopted by the Bundestag, but in fact the EU is the originator. Brussels and Strasbourg are responsible for whopping 84 percent of our German law. In the previous legislature were 10 279 of our laws to the account of EU politicians.
Some mean red tape and bureaucracy, simplify our lives but many. How to provide greater passenger rights, which we granted on flight and train delays reimbursement of costs. Or the limitation of the roaming charges that mobile phone calls on holidays can not be too expensive.
Or guideline for safe toys that will protect our children. Thanks to the EU shall we cosmetics companies in the advertising does not lie on the effectiveness of a cream and organic products including organic must be in it. "There is already a long-standing shift in power from national parliaments to the EU," said Dieter Wolfram, Director of Studies at the Center for European policy. Only in the areas of social protection, employment law, civil law and education, the German politicians are still largely free in their room for maneuver.
"The lobbyists have recognized this shift," says Wolfram. "Look at the number of associations in Brussels! The low awareness of the citizens of the European Parliament is in inverse proportion to its importance. "
Why do we itch Europe so little? "Because the legislation in Europe is very complicated," says Wolfram. "The characters are largely unknown, there is no discernible structure from the government and opposition, so that no clear dividing lines."
In 2004, just 43 percent of Germans to the polls this year, experts fear an even worse outcome. Europe does not matter what matters is national. Fallacy! Our future will be decided in many points this Sunday.

McKenna admits mistakes

Cologne - Kevin McKenna (27) not even a long talk around the bush. "The game I can take my cap," the new FC-defense chief.
In Bremen, the Cottbus former captain filled the role of defensive organizer at any time. The young Tobi Nickenig and Kevin Schöneberg he was to conduct in the back four.
But there was no sign of security. Almost every attack Bremer revealed after the break, the defense kölsche chaos. It McKenna can lose so hard! "I am not satisfied even after a 3-1. Because I just want to cash in no goals, "said Kevin.

I was less Come quickly, if they massaged my perineum?

Hello Beatrice,
I have just read the question by Helge. Unfortunately, I know his problem himself too well. Now my question.
Can the partner help relax the abdominal muscles, by, for example, when oral foreplay massaging the perineum between the scrotum and anus, even in the act, if that is technically possible, or is it still exciting for the man and he comes faster?
P.S. I would love it if you should publish it, use a different name.
Best regards,
Thomas (35)
.................................................. .
Dear Thomas,
first time to your request: "I would love it if you should publish it, use another name" - it's clear that I'm almost always if the contents of the request is not entirely harmless. I like to change yours.
As to your question: "Can the partner help relax the abdominal muscles, by, for example, when oral foreplay massaging the perineum between the scrotum and anus, even in the act, if that is technically possible, or is it still exciting for the man and he is even faster? "
I do not believe that the partner can help by such a massage in the abdominal muscle relaxation. Moreover, it is in coming or not coming so rather than the pelvic floor muscles around the abdomen. And to my knowledge, the pelvic floor muscles may also not be placed in this type of relaxation, especially since it's a pretty big muscles. I actually think rather suspect as well as you think it would be even more exciting for most men and he would be even faster.
Incidentally, relax in the PRELUDE to this area, usually does not help as much (unless the men are most often already during foreplay or right) after the invasion, because the pelvic floor muscles may tighten even within a tenth of a second. If these muscles even during foreplay "ver-spans, there are usually not even a sufficient stiffness, because the tension impedes the flow of blood.
Say: pelvic floor muscle relaxation during foreplay is good for erectile dysfunction, pelvic floor muscle relaxation during intercourse is good for premature ejaculation. Unravel But usually the male had the relaxation itself, the partner can be at most a small part to some by the husband helps with mental relaxation.
Got it?

A tearful sobbing 81-year-old: "The boss has beaten me." And in the background laughing all the nurses broke through the misery.
These tasteless films have turned the nurses themselves. "Because we were funny," said health care assistant Julia G. (27) on Monday in court.
There has to be responsible, together with her ex-boss, the deputy head of the station, Kurt F. (48) because of abuse charges.
But it was not just about the mobile movie. According to the indictment is one half of a 78-year-paralyzed people have been captivated by their home regularly with a bathrobe belt to the bed.
A woman (95), which fought against the fixation, said to have been pressed against the wall, including the mattress. Of rough handling of patients and bruising was mentioned.
Julia G. denies this. In one case, a coma patient slipped. They've only quickly put him back into bed. By throwing could be no question. "Bruises I have not seen thereafter," the nursing assistant.
And the movies? "When you hear the whole day must be like the neighbors and yelling insults. Then you must take this with humor. "
The burden was enormous. Too few staff. "When you wash with 36 inhabitants four people to feed and must constantly rearrange because work remains lying," said Julia G. "And the hostel administration has only meant that we must accommodate ourselves to this situation."
A colleague from the layer had reported the events. So the whole thing came out. The deputy head of the station on Monday, wrapped himself in silence. The nursing home management company has fired the defendants in the meantime. The process will continue later this month.

Other officials hit the dance floor - dance classes at the police. Three were fully booked, and the fourth will start in September. Still on the wish list: a massage service. For Cologne, there is the long fellow.

Oil multinationals in sight of the Cartel

Berlin - The price explosion at the pump - now wants the Competition Authority after dozens of complaints from consumers, the oil companies go after and to clarify whether there is price gouging!

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is called for global action against the oil price increase. In Austria, the commuter allowance and the mileage allowance should be increased in order to relieve motorists financially.
 In France, masses threaten demos of truck drivers who fear for their existence. In Bulgaria, Spain, as well. In Germany, the Bundeskartellamt, turned a: "If, for any indications of violations of competition law, appropriate actions are taken."

Plus the gas price shock. Even the energy industry expects that it will be even more expensive.

A decoupling of gas prices from oil prices, as requested by politicians, was not expected. Gas is never cheap, predicts Feist.
And what can the client? Few. On Wednesday there was little hope for a consumer before the Federal Court. He had complained against price increases, was that every cent will be scanned for appropriateness. The Federal Supreme Court: A control on the gas tariffs was hardly feasible - especially because all the companies keep secret the buying prices. The ruling followed on 16 July.
