Redirect?url= Photo Obese children who cut back on their sugar intake see improvements in their blood pressure, cholesterol readings and other markers of health after just 10 days, a rigorous new study found.
The new research may help shed light on a question scientists have long debated: Is sugar itself harming health, or is the weight gain that comes from consuming sugary drinks and foods mainly what contributes to illness over the long term? In the new study, which was financed by the National Institutes of Health and published Tuesday in the journal Obesity, scientists designed a clinical experiment to attempt to answer this question. They removed foods with added sugar from a group of children’s diets and replaced them with other types of carbohydrates so that the subjects’ weight and overall calorie intake remained roughly the same. After 10 days, the children showed dramatic improvements, despite losing little or no weight.
The study authors paired the subjects with dietitians. Dr. Related: An Isolated Tribe Emerges from the Rain Forest. Redirect?url= When Jenna Weiss-Berman left her job as head of Buzzfeed Audio earlier this year, she hoped that she could attract a little startup capital for her new podcast startup.

Redirect?url= Camera companies, like traditional phone manufacturers, dismissed the iPhone as a toy when it launched, in 2007.
Nokia thought that the iPhone used inferior technology; the camera makers thought that it took lousy pictures. Neither thought that they had anything to worry about. Of course, neither anticipated the value of having a computer in your pocket, and what the camera folks, especially, didn’t anticipate was that, as the photographer Chase Jarvis puts it, the best camera is the one that’s with you. The iPhone didn’t really start to cannibalize the camera business until the iPhone 4 came out, in 2010. That year, Instagram was born and a hundred and twenty-two million digital cameras were sold—a record, according to the Camera and Imaging Products Association, a Japanese camera makers’ trade organization. We don’t know the digital-camera industry’s own answer to that question, but as of Wednesday the time frame certainly shortened.
The rise and fall of Rocket Internet in India. The Really Big One. Penny Lane – Liverpool, England. On the corner of Liverpool’s Church Road and Smithdown Place there is an abandoned building that was once a bus shelter.
It was here that a young Paul McCartney changed buses to go visit John Lennon, and from here that the lads hopped on double-deckers to get downtown to play the Cavern Club and visit Brian Epstein’s record shop. At this intersection begins Penny Lane, famous as the inspiration for McCartney’s song of the same name. The “shelter in the middle of a round-about” is at the top of the street, across from a shop where the barber showed photographs “of every head he’s had the pleasure to know”. It’s still a barbershop today, but that barber and his photographs are long-gone. There is other music history along Penny Lane, apart from the song. There was a brief period in 2006 that almost saw the iconic street name changed. There's New Evidence in the Mystery of Neil Armstrong's Missing 'A'

The poor and homeless population of Paris ballooned during the reign of Louis XIV, from 1654 to 1715, leading to terrible slums in the city center where the unemployed and destitute relied on begging to survive.
The least fortunate of Paris would venture out onto city streets during the day wearing guises like physical disability or disease in hopes of evoking sympathy. But come nightfall, when the poor returned home to the slum and there was no more need to feign illness, they were miraculously "cured" of these ailments. The blind could see; the lame could leap.

(All images by Martin Briquet) When French urbex photographer Martin Briquet was returning home from a visit to Italy, he came upon a vast graveyard of decommissioned tanks, where row upon row of seemingly-abandoned fighting vehicles stood quietly amid the long grass of a field.
Some of the armoured vehicles looked to be in good shape, while others were consumed by foliage and appeared to have been stored at the undisclosed location for a long time. The images show defunct tanks and other military technology that look to be largely complete – at least externally.
