Diabetic girls “skip jabs to stay slim” 4th July 2007 Thousands of teenage girls may be skipping insulin injections in the hope it will make them thin. Diabetes UK estimates that up to one in three diabetic women under 30 in the UK are missing injections to help them lose weight. That would equate to up to 5,000 women under 30, of which up to 3,000 are teenage girls. The practice - which is sometimes called "diabulimia" - can have severe health consequences. http://scratchblog.wordpress.com

News-1_Frozen Eggs

A Canadian mother has frozen her eggs for use by her seven-year-old daughter, who is likely to become infertile. Melanie Boivin wants her daughter to have the choice of having children in the future. Should the girl opt to use the eggs and gain regulatory approval, she would effectively have a baby that was her half-brother or sister. Critics said the work, presented at a fertility conference in Lyon, was deeply concerning. But the doctors from the McGill Reproductive Center, Montreal, called the donation an act of motherly love. Also, the girl and any future partner would have a choice as to whether to use the eggs or not, they said.

Una madre canadiense ha congelado sus óvulos para que su hija de siete años,que puede ser infértil, los pueda usar en el futuro. Melanie Boivin quiere que su hija tenga la opción de tener hijos en el futuro. Si la niña optase por usar estos óvulos y conseguir la aprobación legal, tendría un bebé que sería su medio hermano o hermana. Los críticos denuncian que este caso, presentado en una conferencia sobre fertilidad en Lyon es muy preocupante. Pero los doctores del Centro de Reproducción McGill en Montreal, Canadá, califican la donación de acto de amor materno. Añaden que la niña y cualquier futuro compañero tendrán la opción de elegir si quieren usar los óvulos o no.

Los Ratones y el Gato . Attention!! Now at http://scratchblog.wordpress.com

April 05, 2007 02:31 AM PDT

Una gran familia de ratones vivía en una gran mansión. La vida fue siempre buena con ellos ya que siempre había comida en abundancia, sobre todo en la cocina. Pero un día, el dueño de la casa trajo un gato. Desde entonces la vida de los ratones fue miserable. El gato merodeaba día y noche. Los ratones no osaban salir de sus madrigueras porque el gato estaba siempre al acecho. Con el paso de los días los ratones estaban más y más débiles porque no se aventuraban a salir de sus madrigueras para buscar comida. Finalmente, un viejo ratón dijo: “ No podemos continuar así o moriremos de hambre y de sed muy pronto. Tenemos que encontrar un modo de ocuparnos del gato”. “Efectivamente, tenemos que idear un plan” dijo otro ratón. “Reunámonos todos los ratones esta noche y veamos si podemos pensar en algo”. Enseguida anocheció. Todos los ratones se habían juntado en el lugar acostumbrado de reunión en la casa. El ratón más anciano se aclaró la voz y dijo: “Estoy seguro de que ninguno de nosotros ha sido feliz últimamente debido a nuestro común enemigo, el gato”. Todos los ratones asintieron con la cabeza. El anciano ratón continuó: “Tenemos que actuar juntos y pensar en un plan para deshacernos del gato sino un día vamos a acabar siendo su comida” Unos de los ratones sugirió matar al gato y a todos los demás le pareció una buena idea. De modo que los ratones empezaron a idear la mejor manera para matar al gato. Pero tan pronto como uno proponía un plan los demás lo rechazaban porque era inviable. Por fin, un joven ratón dijo: “ Es posible que no podamos matar al gato pero quizás podamos pensar en algo para saber su paradero. De esa forma, cuando sepamos que viene tendremos tiempo para salir corriendo” Los otros ratones aplaudieron la propuesta. El joven ratón continuó: “ Tengo un plan. Es realmente simple. Todo lo que tenemos que hacer es colgar un cascabel alrededor del cuello del gato. Por donde vaya sonará. Si el cascabel es grande podremos incluso escuchar cuando el gato está viniendo antes de que esté demasiado cerca. Todos los ratones saltaron de alborozo y aplaudieron la idea. De repente, un ratón sabio dijo: “Esa es una idea brillante. Ahora.. Quién pondrá el cascabel al gato?” Moraleja: Una cosa es decir lo que debería hacerse y otra bien diferente hacerlo.

The Mice And The Cat. Attention!!! Now at scratchblog.wordpress.com

April 04, 2007 11:47 AM PDT

The Mice And The Cat There lived several families of mice in a big mansion. Life was good for them as there was always an abundance of food, especially in the kitchen. But one day, the master of the mansion brought home a cat. Since then, life became miserable for the mice. Day or night, the cat would prowl the mansion. The mice dared not come out of their dens because the cat was always lurking around. As the days passed, the mice became weaker and weaker because they could not venture out of their dens to find food. Finally, an old mouse said, "We cannot go on like this, or we will all die of hunger and thirst very soon. We have to find a way to deal with the cat." "Indeed, we have to come up with a plan," agreed another mouse. "Let’s get all the mice together tonight and see if we can think of something." Soon, it was nightfall. All the mice had gathered at their usual meeting place in the mansion. The eldest mouse cleared his throat and said, "I’m sure all of us have not been very happy of late because of our common enemy, the cat." All the mice nodded their heads and muttered their agreement. The eldest mouse continued, "We must therefore act together now and come up with a plan to deal with the cat. Or we will all end up as the cat’s meal one day." One of the mice suggested killing the cat, and every mouse agreed it was a good idea. So, the mice began discussing various plans about how to kill the cat. But as soon as someone proposed a new plan, others would reject it as unworkable. Finally, a young mouse said, "We may not be able to kill the cat, but perhaps we can think of a way to know its whereabouts. That way, if we know it is coming, we will have time to run." The other mice cheered at the suggestion. The young mouse continued, "I have a plan. It’s very simple, really. All we need to do is to hang a bell around the cat’s neck. Wherever it goes, the bell will ring. If the bell is really big, we can even hear when the cat is coming before it is even close!" All the mice jumped and clapped at the idea. Suddenly, a wise old mouse said, "That is a very brilliant idea. Now, who will hang the bell around the cat’s neck?" It is one thing to say that something should be done, but quite another to do it.

It was a very hot and sunny afternoon. A fox, which had been hunting the whole day, was very thirsty. "How I wish there was some water," the fox thought to himself. Just then, he saw bunches of fat and juicy grapes hanging from a vine above his head. The grapes looked ripe and ready to burst with juice. "Oh, my! Oh, my!" the fox said as his mouth began to water. "Sweet grape juice, quench my thirst!" The fox stood on tiptoe and stretched as high as he could, but the grapes were out of his reach. Not about to give up, the fox walked back a short distance and took a running leap at the grapes. Again, he could not reach the grapes. Still not ready to give up, the fox walked back further and took another running leap at the grapes. Again, he could not reach the grapes. The fox jumped and leapt, again and again, but each time he could not reach the grapes. Until, at last, the fox was tired and thirstier than ever. "What a fool I am!" said the fox furiously. "These grapes are sour and not fit for eating. Why would I want them anyway?" With that, the fox walked away. Moral of the story : Some people despise and belittle the things they cannot have.

Fábulas de Esopo. La Zorra y Las Uvas Era una tarde muy soleada y calurosa. Una zorra, que había estado cazando todo el día, estaba muy sedienta. “Cómo me gustaría encontrar agua”, pensó la zorra. En ese momento vió un racimo de uvas grandes y jugosas colgando muy alto de una parra. Las uvas parecían maduras y llenas de zumo. “¡Oh, oh!” dijo la zorra mientras la boca se le hacía agua. “ El zumo dulce de uva sacia my sed!”. La zorra se puso de puntillas y se estiró todo lo alto que pudo, pero las uvas estaban fuera de su alcance. No queriendo abandonar, la zorra tomó impuso para alcanzar las uvas. Fue inutil, no pudo alcanzar las uvas. La zorra saltó y brincó una y otra vez pero no pudo alcanzar las uvas en ninguna ocasión. Al final la zorra estaba más sedienta y cansada que nunca. “¡Qué tonta soy!” dijo la zorra con rabia. “Las uvas están verdes y no se pueden comer. De todas maneras, ¿para qué las querría?. Y así se marchó la zorra. Moraleja : Algunas personas desdeñan y menosprecian lo que no pueden tener.

Sonnet 43 from Sonnets from the Portuguese Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1850) How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday’s Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.
