Katie Green not kinky enough to embrace today’s saucy sexcapades

Katie GreenLondon, Nov 7 : Going by her raunchy poses and bare all photo shoots, it would be a bit shocking to know that model Katie Green is not kinky enough to embrace today’s saucy sexcapades.

After being snapped up by channel Five to star in Generation Sex, Green confessed to have been shocked after she heard her mates and some teenagers reveal their kinky bed room games.

Posing for this new shoot in just her knickers and stilettos, the Ultimo beauty admitted that she might not be so experimental in bed.

“I had to give my opinions on how sex has changed in the nineties and naughties,” the Sun quoted her, as saying.

Islamic jihadis confused how to react to Obama’s victory

Washington, Nov 7: The victory of Barack Obama has confused the Islamic jihadists’ world, as they are yet to decide how to react to it. Many of them never expected a black to win the poll, reported the New York Daily News.

The first major statement aimed at Obama came yesterday from a nationalist insurgent group in Iraq, who extended a “barbed” olive branch to Obama, who during his election campaign had promised to withdraw US troops from Iraq after assuming the White House.

But, other terrorists were seen divided. “Now is the time for a truce,” an Iraqi jihadi in an Al Qaeda-linked chatroom said.

6,000 km trip to reveal migration route of ancestors of ancient Polynesians

Washington, Nov 7 : A 6,000 km trip is expected to reveal clues about the migration route of the ancestors of ancient Polynesians and their animals.

The trip, called “Lapita-Voyage”, will be crewed by two Polynesians, two scientists, a cameraman and the initiators James Wharram, Hanneke Boon and Klaus Hympendahl, author and organiser of the project.

The voyage, which would be undertaken by Drs Keith Dobney and Greger Larson, both from the Department of Archaeology, Durham University, will be the first ever expedition to sail in two traditional Polynesian boats, attempting to re-trace the genuine migration route of the ancient Austronesians.

Russia says it is studying new US missile defence proposal

Moscow - The United States has proffered new plans for a missile defence system to Russia in the hopes of mollifying Russia's objections to the program and salvaging nuclear control accords between the two nations, Russia's Foreign Ministry confirmed Friday.

Ministry spokesman Igor Lyakin-Frolov said Russia is studying the proposal. It will be discussed when the US and Russian defence and foreign ministers meet for their next round of two-plus-two format talks. No date has been scheduled yet for those talks.

Washington's overture comes after Russia has threatened reactions should the United States set up parts of components of the missile defence system in eastern Europe.

Social interactions spur gene expressions in brain to influence behaviour

Washington, November 7 : A review of recent studies on social animals like birds and bees suggests that social interactions can alter gene expression in the brain to influence behaviour.

University of Illinois entomology and neuroscience professor Gene Robinson, lead author of a review on the subject this week in the journal Science, says that a critical insight came from a study of songbirds led by David Clayton in 1992, which showed that expression of a specific gene increases in the forebrain of a zebra finch or canary just after it hears a new song from a male of the same species.

The gene, egr1, codes for a protein that itself regulates the expression of other genes, the reviewer points out.

Exercising pelvic floor muscles ‘can boost sexual arousal during sex’

Exercising pelvic floor muscles ‘can boost sexual arousal during sex’Melbourne, Nov 7 : Exercising pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) can enhance arousal and sensation during sex, according to an expert.

"Voluntary contraction of these muscles helps with sensation and arousal during sexual intercourse (and) involuntary contractions of the muscles occur during orgasm,'''' the Daily Telegraph quoted Royal Brisbane Women''s Hospital physiotherapist Rowan Hill, as saying.
