Indian Train Kills Elephants Crossing Tracks
Indian Train Kills Elephants Crossing Tracks:
A passenger train ploughed into a herd of elephants in eastern India, killing seven, including two calves, as they lumbered across the tracks in a forest, authorities said.The crash was the worst of its kind in recent memory, said Hiten Burman, forestry minister in West Bengal. Ten other elephants were seriously injured and the death toll could rise, he said.
The train was travelling at 80 kilometers (50 miles) an hour through the Chapramari Forest, near Gorumara National Park, when it struck the herd of 40 elephants crossing the tracks on Wednesday at dusk, Burman said.He said railway authorities have ignored requests from his department to have trains reduce their speeds inside the elephant corridor in Jalpaiguri district, about 670 kilo meters (415 miles) from Kolkata, the state capital.Basu, who blamed unrestricted movement of trains for the accident, said at least 50 elephants have been killed by trains since 2004 in West Bengal state.
"It is an irony that elephants are being killed by speeding trains in north Bengal on regular intervals, even though it has been declared as the heritage animal in India and an elephant calf is the mascot of Indian Railways," said Animesh Basu, a wildlife activist and co-coordinator of the Himalayan Nature and Adventure Foundation.
This body (Because you can't call it a Dog) was on the side of the road. And It came back to life
This is Xena and Jonny, they are the best of friends. But, just a few months before this, Xena was nearly dead.Luckily,she was found just in the nick of time… and after being healed, rescued someone herself: a little autistic boy.
It’s disgusting what people did to little XenaShe was found on the side of the road, nearly dead..Her rescuers weren’t sure if she was a corpse or a collapsed dog.
When she was found, she looked like a corpse. Animal Services of DeKalb County, Georgia, found the puppy after she collapsed by the side of a road.
Foot Reflexology
What is Foot Reflexology?
Foot Reflexology has become a well respected ADJUNCT to regular medical care. It is used in Hospitals, by Physical Therapists and Chiropractors to enhance MOST forms of medical treatments.It is not a "miracle" or a "faith healing" type thing. Sometimes, like other therapies, it takes a few sessions.Foot reflexology can help ease the pain of achy joints and muscles, relieve headaches and toothaches, improve the functioning of major systems of the body.
Foot Reflexology works by applying pressure at specific points on the bottom of the foot. This is not the same as acupressure or acupuncture.In fact, the only thing that is the same is that medical science can't prove how it works...they just know it does!There are over 7,200 nerve endings at the bottom of each foot. Nerves connect to every organ, every limb and region of the body through the brain and spinal column. It is thought that foot reflexology works in much the same way. Even though we don't actually work the nerve endings, the correlation of the bottom of the feet to every region of the body definitely exists. It was originally called "The Zone" therapy in the early 20th century and was successfully organized into a comprehensive therapy by a physical therapist, Eunice Ingham in the '40s. She coined the term "reflexes" when referring to this therapy.
Foot reflexology can increase the blood flow to the part of the body being worked, which in turn increases the oxygen going to that part.The increased blood flow helps take away toxins that build up in each cell of the body each day.This brings more health and vitality to the region plus adds a sense of over-all well-being. When our feet feel good, we feel good!Learn to do foot reflexology to help your family and friends feel better!

Please realize that foot reflexology is NOT a substitute for medical treatment, you are always encouraged to seek professional medical help when needed, however, this therapy can be used in conjunction with most treatments for most conditions.Please, if being treated by a medical professional, get that professional's permission before doing foot reflexology for that medical condition. Thanks.
