Faster planes and cheaper flights are making it easier than ever before for people to travel. In the most 'developed' societies, visiting exotic places is a sought-after status symbol. The tourism industries of both developed and developing countries have recognised this fact and are learning to take advantage of it.

There are, however, some problems associated with this new industry. Firstly, there is the increasing crime rate.Some locals see tourists as an easy prey because, not only are they in unfamiliar tenitory and therefore less able to take care of themselves, but also they cany visible items of wealth, such as cameras and jewelery which can be disposed of quickly for profit.

Another major problem is health. With greater mobility comes greater danger of spreading contagious diseases around the world. One carrier returning home could easily start an epidemic before their illness was diagnosed. Moreover, the emergence of many diseases which resist antibiotics is causing scientists to be increasingly concerned about this issue.

Also to be considered is the natural environment, which can be seriously tlueatened by too many visitors. Australia's Great Barrier Reef, for example, is in danger of being destroyed by tourists and there are plans to restrict visitors to some of the more delicate coral cays

These are just three of the reasons why any country should be wary of comnfitting itself to an extensive tourism development program.

How Chocolate is made;

Have we wondered how we get chocolate from? Well this time we willl enter the amazing world of chocolate so we can understand exactly how chocolate is made.

Chocolate is taken from a tree called cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions, especially in places such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia.

Next, the beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun. After that they are shipped to the chocolate maker. The chocolate makers works by roasting the beans to bring out the flavour. So they are often sorted and blended to produce a distinctive mix.

The next process is winnowing. The roasted beans are winnowed to remove the meat nib of cacao bean from its shell. Then the nibs are blended. The blended nibs are grinds to make liquid. The liquid is called chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter.

All seeds contain some amount of fat and cacao beans are not different. However, cacao beans are half fat. It is pure bitter chocolate.

 

The most important stage to have good flavour of the chocolate is in ...

Named after one of her father's favorite crocodiles, Bindi Sue Irwin first appeared in front of the cameras when she was only a few weeks old. Her father, Steve Irwin, was the star of the popular nature program, The Crocodile Hunter.

Iriwn shared her parent's passion for wildlife. Home-schooled, she grew up surrounded by the animals at the Australian Zoo which is owned and operated by her family.

She experienced a terrible loss in 2006 when her father died after being stung by a stingray while snorkeling on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. At Steve Irwin's memorial service, held at the Australian Zoo, she spoke warmly of her father, calling him "her hero".

In memory of her fater, Irwin starred in the 2007 television documentary My Daddy the Crocodile Hunter. She continued to work on her new wildlife series for American television, Bindi: The Jugle Girl, which debuted that same year, with the young wildlife enthusiast educating and entertaining viewers with stories about animals. She rode an elephant, played with a phyton and introduced her audience to her pet rat, Candy. Irwin even sang and danced on the show with her back-up group, known as the Crocmen. Along with her mother, Irwin also appeared in the documentary series, Planet's Best with Terri and Bindi, around time.

Though the show only lasted for 26 episodes, Bindi: The Jungle Girl found a second life on Australian television. The series aired there in 2009. Back in the states, Irwin has made appearences on such talk shows as The Oprah Winfrey Show in recent years.

A mouse that cured

A new ally againts cancer

Dr. Megan sykes, a medical researcher, has a mouse with a human immune system - her own. She calls it "Mini-Me."

There are also mice containing a part of 9 year ols Michael Feeney- a cancerous tumor extracted from his lungs. Researches have tasted various drugs on the mice, hoping to find the treatment that would work best for Michael.

In what could be the ultimate in personalized medicine, animals bearing your disease, or part of your anatomy, can serve as your personal guinea pig, so to speak. Some researches call them avatars, like the virtual characters in movies and online games.

"The mice allow you the opportunity to test drugs to find out which ones will be afficacious without exposing the patient to toxity." said Colin Colluns, a professor at the University of British Columbia.

Experiments on mice have been done for decades, including implating people's tumors into the animals. But the techniques have improved in the past few years and interest is growing. The National institues of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, held a workshop on personalized animal models which are mainly being used for research. Companies are beginning to commercialize them for use in drug development and medical treatment as well.

Experts caution that it has not been proved that the use of avatars will prolong the lives of cancer patients. And it costs tens of thousands of dollars, which insurer will not cover, to create and test a colony of the animals.

"It's an act of faith to say this is a superior way of proceeding," said Dr. Edward Sausville, a professor of medicine at the University of Maryland.
