			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Paul, the German octopus that is said to be able to predict the outcome of Germany&#8217;s football games in the World Cup is said to be receiving death threats from fans.</p>
<p>The octopus has accurately foresaw the results of the German team&#8217;s games and has instantly became famous for that. However, when Paul predicted that Germany will lose to Spain in the semifinals and it did happened, fans are accusing that the octopus has jinxed the game. This is the reason why the owner, and Paul himself, is receiving death threats from German fans. Recipes are even being sent out to the owner.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a society where most are powered by fuel, I guess it is safe to say that prices of basic commodities rises and falls in direct proportion with oil prices.</p>
<p>In the Philippines, gasoline prices are now down to ~41.75 from ~43.50 a few weeks ago. Petition for a fare hike by the transport sector was temporarily shelved because of this. I am not sure if <a href="http://www.wholesaleinsurance.net">life insurance rates</a> follow the same proportion or if they are exclusive from such factors. Wheat prices however, seems to be unaffected with this improvement. Local bakers are now puzzled why no price slash are being implemented.</p>
<p>It is said that oil prices could have even go lower if only we had a stronger peso against the dollar. The weakening euro seems to have played a role in the recent price decrease.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>President Barack Obama has signed on last Tuesday the new health care legislation. One part of this law requires that restaurant chains with 20 or more outlets must include the calorie information on their munus and drive-through signs. Implementation is expected to roll out as early as 2011. Aside from this big food chains, the said legislation also requires that food items in vending machines be labeled the same.</p>
<p>Kelly Brownell, director of the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale  thinks that this is a historic development as Americans mostly eat outside of their homes where monitoring calorie information is difficult.</p>
<p>When this law takes effect, America might see a drastic change in the pattern people order in fast foods or they&#8217;ll see more hits on websites like <a href="http://www.xenadrinereviews.org/">xenadrine reviews</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Control over New Moore Island or South Talpatti Island, a tiny rock island in the Bay of Bengal, in the Sunderbans have been in dispute by India and Bangladesh for 30 years. What was not resolved by humans was now resolved by nature as the said island has been completely submerged.</p>
<p>This was verified by Sugata Hazra, an oceanographer and professor at Jadavpur University in Calcutta. Furthermore, satellite imagery and sea patrols confirmed that the island is now gone. Hazra commented, &#8220;What these two countries could not achieve from years of talking, has been resolved by global warming.&#8221;</p>
<p>The alarming rise at sea level over the past decade in the Bay of Bengal has been noted by scientists at the School of Oceanographic Studies. What used to be a 3 millimeter a year rise before the year 2000 is now rising at 5 millimeter rise annually for the last decade. At this rate, they expect other islands from the Sunderbans to be submerged and a large number of people displaced.</p>
