Bugs for the future nutrition food for 20 billion people in global village?

At present, the world population is approximately 70 billion.  It will be 90 billion in 2040 according to the report.  The farmland is limited and the crop harvest is getting worse because of global warming.The future foods may be Cyanophats, fabricated foods and processed  foods. Lately, UN recommended bugs. A worm has higher protein and 10 times more calcium than beef.  The expenses for feeding the bugs are 1/12 less than that of animals. FAO suggested recipes for bug dishes for a restaurant menu. The ranking of edible bugs is a beetle first, and  next, worm, bee, ant, grasshopper, cricket, spider, scorpion etc. East Asian countries such as Vietnam, China, Thailand, and Latin American countries such as Mexico and Columbia eats bugs but most of Westerncountries tend to disgust. I heard that our previous generation ate grasshoppers when I was young.  In memory of those days, sometimes people eat roasted bugs as an event in the country festival.  I thought that eating bugs is a story  of old days when food was wanting, but  now I am afraid that we are likely to have bugs as the future food due to  the shortage of food.  I wish that individuals and nations work together in order to make the healthy and affluent society worldwide.

Ebola virus (EBOV, formerly designated Zaire ebolavirus)


Ebola virus (EBOV, formerly designated Zaire ebolavirus)


The whole world has been shaking with fright because of Ebola virus. Those who became infected with Ebola virus are getting more and more.  About 14,000 people have been infected and about 5,000 people died based on last Oct 27th. Ebola virus infection was discovered in the Republic of Zaire in 1976. It caused about 600 patients through Zaire and Sudan for a year. Through this, Ebola turned into one of the strongest virus diseases.

Symptoms of Ebola virus


The disease which Ebola virus causes is called Ebola fever and hemorrhagic fever. It was named because it makes features of having fever and bleeding in case that organ is infected. 


 



Pop culture has a great affect that Ebola virus became a terror to the public
Outbreak is a 1995 American medical disaster film directed by Wolfgang Petersen. Its content is African monkeys infected with fatal virus carried from Africa to America, and then they spread infection disease.
Film- Outbreak
There is no the name of Ebola virus in this move, but the virus like Ebola appeared, so it led me think Ebola virus. Until now, there is no vaccine, but a few days ago, two nurses infected Ebola have completely cured. It was said that receiving from another survivor’ serum is the main reason.
This case like miracle is as pretty rare as Obama met.

As the term of global Era, the disease discovered in one country has affected whole nations. I hope vaccine and cure of Ebola virus, terror, will be developed and patients who are fighting with Ebola will be cured completely.

Maternal love that protected her baby even in her last moment




Maternal love that protected her baby even in her last moment




Recently, an American woman was gunned down by his drunken live-in lover. Firearm accidents are common in America. But there is a special reason why this accident is in the news a lot these days.



Let me reveal the whole story. The criminal and the woman were in a common law marriage relationship. At the time, the drunken criminal got mad, when quarreling with her and he struck her with a baseball bat. She shielded her baby with her body desperately to protect her baby. Then he tried to take the baby away from her, so she felt threatened and ran away to bathroom. But she was gunned down. Although being gunned down on her head, she tried to collapse on toilet instead of floor to protect her baby.


Maternal love that protected her baby even in her last moment is making people feel sorry not only in America, also all over the world.
