Probiotics And What They Do.

This short article by BBC Goodfood is an introduction to the world of probiotics and prebiotics, and how they benefit our physiological system. Very simply, probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for our health, especially our digestive system. Our bodies are full of bacteria, both the good and the bad varieties, but probiotics are found naturally in our body, and in some foods and supplements. It’s only been since the mid-1990s that people have wanted to know more about probiotics and their health benefits. And because of their newfound fame, they are found in everything from yogurt to chocolate. The most common probiotic is lactobacillus, and it’s the one we will find in yogurt and other fermented foods. Different strains can help with diarrhoea and may also help with people who cannot digest lactose, the sugar in milk. We also find bifidobacterium in some dairy products. It may help ease the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and some other conditions. Researchers are still trying to figure out which are best for certain health problems. In general, probiotic foods and supplements are thought to be safe for most people, though some people with immune system problems or other serious health conditions should not take them. In some cases, mild side effects might include upset stomach, diarrhoea, gas, and bloating for the first couple of days after you start them. They may also trigger allergic reactions. Stop taking them and talk to your doctor if you have problems.

The Guna, known as Kuna prior to an orthographic reform in 2010, and historically as Cuna, are an indigenous people of Panama and Colombia. In the Kuna language, they call themselves Dule or Tule, meaning "people," and the name of the language in Kuna is Dulegaya, literally "people-mouth." Most Gunas live on small islands off the coast of the comarca of Kuna Yala known as the San Blas Islands. Each community has its own political organization, led by a saila, who is traditionally both the political and religious leader of the community; he memorizes songs which relate the sacred history of the people and transmits them to the people. Traditionally, Guna families are matrilinear, with the groom moving to become part of the bride's family and taking the last name of the bride as well.

The Tadpoles of IC 410.

This close-up shows the otherwise faint emission nebula IC 410 in striking false-colours, featuring two remarkable inhabitants of the cosmic pond of gas and dust above and left of centre: the tadpoles of IC 410. The narrowband data traces atoms in the nebula, with emission from sulfur atoms in red, hydrogen atoms in green, and oxygen in blue. Partly obscured by foreground dust, the nebula itself surrounds NGC 1893, a young galactic cluster of stars that energizes the glowing gas. Composed of denser cooler gas and dust the tadpoles are around 10 light-years long, potential sites of ongoing star formation, and sculpted by wind and radiation from the cluster stars, their tails trail away from the cluster's central region. IC 410 lies some 12,000 light-years away, toward the constellation Auriga.

The current flag of Myanmar was adopted on 21 October 2010. The new flag was introduced along with implementing changes to the country's name, which were laid out in the 2008 Constitution. The design of the flag has three horizontal stripes of yellow, green and red with a five-pointed white star in the middle. The three colours of the stripes are meant to symbolise solidarity, peace and tranquility, and courage and decisiveness. The white star that symbolised the Union of Burma.

The Elgin Marbles are a collection of Classical Greek marble sculptures made under the supervision of Phidias and his assistants in c. 447 to 438 BC; originally part of the temple of the Parthenon. From 1801 to 1812, agents of Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin removed about half of the surviving sculptures and transported them to Britain. The half not removed is now displayed in the Acropolis Museum. In Britain, the acquisition of the collection was not supported by some, and the Earl's actions was likened to vandalism. Following a public debate in Parliament and its subsequent exoneration of Elgin, he sold the Marbles to the British government in 1816. They were then passed to the British Museum, where they are now on display in the purpose-built Duveen Gallery.
