Recess - Childhood cartoon


One of my personal favourite cartoon is called Recess. 
Its based on 6 close friends that go to the same school and are studying in 4th grade, and are fighting really hard to survive the school and it's rules.
This cartoon depicts the life of these kids as they go about their lives in a highly cliched school environment which is a kingdom of its own. 
They have a king, king Bob who is a 6th grader and rules the school playground and has his own bunch of army who would do anything he commands.
Overall it's an amazing cartoon series which shows how important recess is to kids and how they develop meaningful relationships during that period of time.

Treatment that fights cancer

Doctors at the National Cancer Centre in Singapore (NCCS) are trying out a new treatment that helps the body fight the cancer disease in it.

If the outcome was successful it will give the patients another shot at getting better, instead of options like the chemotherapy that have been extra exhausting. 

The therapy uses a weakened virus as vehicle to introduce a combination of proteins into the patients body. 

This boosts the immune system's ability to identify and attack all the cancer cells.

"Cancer patients usually have a very weak immune system," explained Dr. Toh, a senior consultant at NCCS's medical devision. 

He also added that cancer cells are "masters of disguise" making it hard for the immune system to pick them up.

He hopes to recruit more than 20 other patients for the trial over this year.

Zaidee Turner


Zaidee Turner's family couldn't celebrate her birthday but instead they were remembering their daughter who died tragically last year, and what an amazing gift she had given to at least 4 other people.

Zaidee was the ONLY child to donate her organs last year.

Her parents have been trying to raise awareness about the poor donor rates in their country.

Hospital and factory workers in the Goulburn valley donated about 10,000 pink hairnets; pink as it was Zaidee's favourite colour. 

Since her death her parents have been trying hard to raise awareness and spread the world about the alarming statistics surrounding organ donation.

Two children have donated their organs and this way they felt that their campaign was starting to work. 

"Its tragic that a child has died, but it does give us some comfort to know she died helping others," Mrs Turner said.

Selfie addict had "turned suicidal"

A teenager addicted to "Selfies" tried to kill himself because he didn't like any of the photos he had taken of himself.

Danny Bowman, 19 years old, posted nearly 200 Selfies in just one day and almost overdosed on pills because he didn't like any of the pictures he took and he thought that none of them were "perfect".

The boy, from Newcastle, is now aware of how mobiles can affect your life negatively and is warning other teenagers of how dangerous a mobile can be. 

He also added : "I lost my friends, my education, my health and almost my life."

In Berlin, police have found the bones of nine newborns buried in flowerpots and buckets and arrested a woman who they believe to be their mother and they are suspecting her of killing them. 

Some of the remains were buried in the sand in east Germany in a state called Brandenburg where someone was clearing a garage found human bones in a fish tank. 

Police arrested the 39-year-old suspect of killing the babies immediately after they were born in 1988-2004.

She did say she was the mother but she didn't admit that she was the one who killed them.

People wondered how the disappearance of nine babies over 16 years didn't come to light earlier. 

This woman is also believed to be a mother of several other children.
