 Chicken intake may ward off colon cancer in teens

Teens who eat more chicken and fish may lower their risk of developing colon cancer, a new study has claimed.

 In a study of nearly 20,000 women, those who ate more chicken during their teen years had lower risks of developing colorectal adenomas, which are benign tumours that may progress into colon cancer.

The researchers did not find a direct relationship between red meat intake and adenomas, but the results showed that replacing one serving per day of red meat with one serving of poultry or fish may reduce the risks of rectal and advanced adenomas by about 40 percent.

Among different cancers, colorectal cancer is the most influenced by diet. Compared to something like smoking, diet is not a large cancer risk factor, but it does have an impact," said study researcher Dr Katharina Nimptsch.

New Bird species discovered in Cambodia

Scientists have discovered a new species of bird with distinct plumage and a loud call living not in some remote jungle, but hiding in plain sight in the large populous city of Phnom Penh.

Scientists with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), BirdLife International, and other groups found the previously undescribed species in Cambodia's urbanised capital Phnom Penh and several other locations just outside of the city including a construction site.

Named the Cambodian tailorbird (Orthotomus chaktomuk), it is one of only two bird species found solely in Cambodia. The other, the Cambodian laughingthrush, is restricted to the remote Cardamom Mountains.

The newly discovered wren-sized gray bird with a rufous cap and black throat lives in dense, humid lowland scrub in Phnom Penh and other sites in the floodplain.

Its scientific name 'chaktomuk' is an old Khmer word meaning four-faces, perfectly describing where the bird is found: the area centered in Phnom Penh where the Tonle Sap, Mekong and Bassac Rivers come together.

This discovery is one of several from Indochina in recent years, underscoring the region's global importance for bird conservation," said Colin Poole, Director of WCS Singapore and a co-author of the study.

दिल्ली और जयपुर के बीच पड़ने वाला राजस्थान का भानगढ़ किला भूतहा किले के नाम जाना जाता है। 17वीं शताब्दी में बनाया गया यह किला पूरी तरह नेस्तोनाबूद है। कहते हैं कि यहां जो भी मकान बनाया जाता है उसकी छत कभी नहीं टिकती। इस तरह यहां कभी कोई मकान नहीं बन पाता। कहते हैं शाम ढलते ही यहां आत्माएं घूमने लगती हैं और सूर्यास्त के बाद जो भी यहां जाता है कभी वापस लौटकर नहीं आता।
