Researchers were looking for a well known song with the right beat to help people get the pace right when performing CPR. With lovely irony they found that the BeeGees "Stayin’ Alive" is perfect.

Unicef have a nice programme at the moment involving bicycles.

For 25 quid, you can buy a bicycle which will be given to a health worker to enable them to travel further to see more villages. This’ll increase access to widwifery, vaccinations and so forth.

From the USA, the cost is $40.

One more bicycle has been sent using this scheme, thanks to Copenhagenize for linking to it (though the danish link is currently inoperative). I arrived at their older post on the unicef scheme via their post on Baisikeli.

A Taiwanese woman, who decided to go for acupuncture, neglected to inform the acupuncturist that she had previously had breast implants.

Over the following weeks she went from a D cup to an A cup, and then sought assistance.

Fortunately for her the implants were saline rather than silicone.
