Young Londoners are fleeing to smaller cities

Leave a Comment
The mayors Londoners say the number of inhabitants of the city will grow brutally for decades to come, but an analysis developed by the Office for National Statistics shows that from June 2013 to 2014, about 58,220 people between the 30 and 39 years have left the capital, the largest number ever and an increase of 10% compared to 2010.

According to the entity, the young Londoners are to settle in smaller cities and regions. Still, and how the numbers are based on records of the NHS (National Healths Service (national health service), may not include all young people who have left the city.

The Guardian advances that the drastic increase London house prices since June 2013 helped accelerate this migration. Today, the average price of a house in London is € 500,000 ($ 1.5 million), compared with € 230,000 ($ 730,000) in the rest of the country.

The favourite destination of young Londoners is Birmingham (pictured), which attracted 5,480 Londoners June 2012-June 2013. The next Bristol, Manchester, Nottingham and Oxford.

Another of the arguments for this migration of Londoners is the balance between work and social life. Many of these young people are new parents, who seek to have more time for you and your family, and who migrated to London to complete his university education.

On the other hand, the British regional economies see with good eyes these new professionals, which a decade ago would never dream of getting out of the British capital.

"Young people can be attracted, at the beginning of their careers, with a job in London, but then recognize that there are opportunities in other cities. We are starting to see the benefits of the takeover, particularly for jobs with more specific skills, "explained Ed Cox, director of the think-tank IPPR.

In Portugal, Lisbon continues to focus on some specific professions, grabbing every year thousands of young graduates. Does this decentralization may one day British be trend in Portugal, or the difference in size between English and Portuguese major cities will not allow it?

Two new species of dinosaur discovered by accident

Leave a Comment
After 75 years during a museum remain in Ottawa, in Canada, two dinosaur fossils have now been identified as being new. Or rather, as never having been identified previously.

"We have already discovered most species, but apparently there are many undiscovered," explained Nick Longrich, a paleontologist at the University of Bath in the United Kingdom. "We're still just digging the surface", metaforizou.

The two new species â€" the pentaceratops aquilonius, small cousin, triceratops and other of the genus kosmoceratops-lived in North America until the end of the Cretaceous, there are 75 million years ago.

Second Longrich, these dinosaurs will have migrated from a part of North America to another, diverging species. And only the competition among them has avoided that dinosaurs moved between the northern and southern regions of the continent.

"With the dinosaurs of the Cretaceous we see many large species in one habitat. They also tend to be very regional: as we pass from one to another habitat we have a completely different view of species "continued. The discovery was published in the September issue of the journal Creataceous Research.

4 foods that can be fatal if eaten raw

Leave a Comment
Many think that food, when eaten raw, will always be healthier. This statement is true for vegetables â€" vegetables, fruits or vegetables â€" but a horse of a different color as we're talking chicken, red beans, tuna and rhubarb leaves, according to my aggregator well-being. Learn why.

1. Friend

Americans eat more chicken than beef or pork per year. In 2013, each person ate about 83 pounds of chicken, against 56 kilos of meat and 47 pounds of pork, according to the u.s. Department of agriculture (USDA).

Sometimes, due to the way he is treated in the processing plants, the raw chicken contains Salmonella, a group of bacteria that is the most common cause of food poisoning. Four to seven days after consumption, the bacterium infects the intestinal tract, causing fever, diarrhea, abdominal cramping and vomiting. This, however, is the best-case scenario.

Last year, the two chicken processing units of Foster Farms caused an outbreak of Salmonella Heidelberg infection, a type of bacteria resistant to antibiotics. In total, 621 people in 29 States and Puerto Rico have been infected. Despite not having been recorded deaths, 38 percent of people who got sick were hospitalized, with many suffering septicemia, a blood infection that can cause death.

Try to avoid eating raw chicken, making sure the kitchen at a temperature of at least 165 degrees â€" in order to kill Salmonella. In addition, do not wash the chicken and use paper kitchen towels.

2. Beans-Red 

The red bean is nutritious, since they contain potassium, magnesium, fiber, iron and proteins. With all these nutrients, is able to reduce the bad cholesterol, fight cardiovascular disease and increase the feeling of satiety.

"Designated by its resemblance to the shape of one of our organs [kidney], the red color of this type of beans certify their high concentration of antioxidants that fight disease," said the Time Janet bond Brill, a specialist in nutrition and fitness.

But, believe it or not, the beans coming out of Tin are not raw. They are already cooked, fortunately, because if they were, many could get sick. The red beans have high concentrations of phyto-hemagglutinin, a lectin which is a natural toxin. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), u.s. federal agency that regulates the use of medicines, this chemical can cause "nausea", vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain.

Despite the fito-hemagglutinin be more concentrated in the red beans, can also be found in beans, beans Chand and green beans. Opt for canned versions to avoid any bodily harm.

3 Tuna

The large fish accumulate in fatty tissues that absorb mercury from their prey, in its most toxic form (methylmercury). There are seas like the Mediterranean, which are too contaminated by metal, released by industry. But the risk cannot be excluded that represent the fish fished in other seas, as these tend to be migratory. Mercury can cause serious changes in the brain development of fetuses and babies.

Considering that the tuna can reach 4.5 m in length and weigh more than 740 pounds, this can mean high mercury content. It is common to find tuna in sushi and, especially, in children's lunchboxes, since it provides Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to the body which contribute to heart health.

Regardless of whether the canned tuna is or if it's in the raw state, it is important to know that contains mercury and that consume a lot of this food can cause mercury poisoning. Symptoms usually are high blood pressure, endometriosis and headaches, as well as muscle spasms, loss of coordination, weakness, muscle atrophy, and impaired cognitive function.

The u.s. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, the acronym in English) suggests eating just 300 grams per week of a variety of fish and shellfish, such as shrimp, canned tuna, salmon and catfish, which contain lower levels of mercury. The tuna has a delicious flavor and is a very healthy food, but it is important to moderate their consumption to avoid poisoning seriously.

Rhubarb 4.Folhas

In the United States, many people grow rhubarb in their gardens because the stalks of the plant, when cooked with sugar become a delicious dessert or filling for pies or cakes. But the leaves of this plant can make us sick.

The leaves contain high levels of oxalic acid, which can also be found in bleach and pesticides. Symptoms of poisoning by ingestion of oxalic acid include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and bleeding and can lead to death, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Choose to remove the leaves and eat the rhubarb in a secure manner. But if the rhubarb has been subject to freezing temperatures, it is best to throw it away â€" the cold causes chemical reactions inside the plant, releasing toxins in the thallus.

Leave a Comment
Dear reader: first of all, don't try this at home. A professional kayak, Emrick Blanchette, went down a waterfall of 18 yards with his meager means of transport, a dangerous time and unusual filmed in Tomata Falls, in Mexico.

"I was so nervous up there, investigate and show my line. I've seen many turn the kayak in a situation like this, on video, "said Blanchette, a Canadian with only five years of experience in the sport.

"The downhill is very complex, at an angle of almost 90 degrees, so any minimal movement and body position will have influence on our and landing angle," said Blanchette.

With 23 years ago, the Canadian traveled to the region of Tlapacoyan Veracruz a few days old, to test several vertical descents. But none had the magnitude of Tomata Falls.
