澳大利亚人为IS辩护: Security agencies will analyse a video featuring an Australian man who is reportedly a combat medic ( "Medic" (also known as "Medico") 医学从业人员 is a general term for a person involved in medicine; a physician, paramedic, medical student, military medical corpsman and sometimes a medically trained individual in the roll of medic; like an Emergency Medical Responder. In the UK, the term "medic" amongst physicians indicates that someone has followed a "medical" career path accredited by the MRCP such as cardiology or endocrinology. This is in contrast to a surgical branch of specialisation in postgraduate professional training. "Medic" may be used to refer to people in the following role: Emergency physician, a medical doctor (M.D. or D.O.) who has specialized post graduate training in emergency diagnostics and treatment. Combat Medical Technician, a soldier with a specialist military trade within the Royal Army Medical Corps of the British Army.) fighting with rebels in Syria, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop says. Channel Seven has aired the unverified footage of the man, who says his name is Abu Ousama and describes himself as a "true blue Aussie". In the video, he defends the Islamic State (IS) militant group and questions how beheading people can be wrong. "You have these beheadings. Some people might call them barbaric野蛮的, 惨无人道的," he said. "But what is the difference between a missile that hits into a house, which kills 15 kids compared to a man dying getting cut by his throat?" The man, who appears in the video with a face covering, revealing just his eyes, says he is not afraid to die in the conflict. "I hope that Allah accepts the good that we've done and blesses us with his reward ... of the highest of paradise," he said. "What more could you want?" However, he said there was no hatred between him and Australia and that he is disappointed Australian forces are carrying out strikes against IS in Iraq. "Home is home, everybody is going to love their country," he said in the video. "[But] I'm sad to see Australia taking that step to come into a place it doesn't need to be because it will cause a reaction, it will cause people to hate it." Ms Bishop says such men pose a potential threat to national security and the video will come under closer scrutiny. "We will take whatever steps we can to keep Australians safe but also prevent Australians from taking up with terrorist organisations ( take up with someone 交好 informal to become friendly with someone, especially someone who could have a bad influence on you. I don't want you to take up with the wrong crowd. be taken up with something 全部占据 to be busy doing, discussing, or thinking about something. The whole meeting was taken up with arguing about the budget. She was completely taken up with her own worries.) and similar organisations so our intelligence, police, security will be looking at that video very closely," she said. "It's unthinkable someone would think beheadings are part of a territorial aspiration. "These are murderous cults and they are using Islam to cover up for their violent behaviour. They are using religion as an excuse for what is simply murder. "We want Australia to be the tolerant, free, open society it always has been and the example of that video indicates why the Australian Government is taking such a tough stance against foreign fighters." "What we are seeking to do is change the laws so that not only will I have the power to cancel a passport, but also the power to suspend a passport in circumstances where our intelligence agencies are not quite able to meet the threshold required to cancel a passport but want to have enough time to provide the evidence that would give rise to a negative security assessment," she said.

 Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: The Colossus(colossus [kəˈlosəs] someone or something that is very large or impressive.) of Rhodes was a statue of the Greek titan-god of the sun Helios, erected in the city of Rhodes, on the Greek island of the same name, by Chares of Lindos in 280 BC. It is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was constructed to celebrate Rhodes' victory over the ruler of Cyprus, Antigonus I Monophthalmus, whose son unsuccessfully besieged Rhodes in 305 BC. Before its destruction毁掉 in the earthquake of 226 BC, the Colossus of Rhodes stood over 30 meters (98 feet) high, making it one of the tallest statues of the ancient world. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon巴比伦的空中花园 were one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one whose location has not been definitely established. Traditionally they were said to have been built in the ancient city of Babylon, near present-day Hillah, Babil province, in Iraq. There are no extant Babylonian texts which mention the gardens, and no definitive archaeological evidence has been found in Babylon. Because of the lack of evidence it has been suggested that the Hanging Gardens are purely legendary, and the descriptions found in ancient Greek and Roman writers including Strabo, Diodorus Siculus and Quintus Curtius Rufus represent a romantic ideal of an eastern garden.

But he added he felt 'extreme pride in Sam, for enduring what he has with little to no complaint, for his ability in bringing together a community in such a positive manner, for being the greatest son a parent could wish for每一个父母想要的, for being that spark that ignited all those around him, for being just SAM.'

The individual suffering the event, may not necessarily be advanced in age, although senior citizens are more likely to experience an occurrence. Mom had a "senior moment" yesterday when she poured laundry detergent into the dryer. wiki: One of the key concerns of older adults is the experience of memory loss, especially as it is one of the hallmark symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. However, memory loss is qualitatively different in normal aging from the kind of memory loss associated with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's. Occasional lapses in memory are normal in aging adults and understanding the distinction between normal symptoms and warning signs of Alzheimer's is critical in maintaining cognitive health. One phenomenon, known as "Senior Moments", is a memory deficit that appears to have a biological cause. When an older adult is interrupted while completing a task, it is likely that the original task at hand can be forgotten. Studies have shown that the brain of an older adult does not have the ability to re-engage after an interruption and continues to focus on the particular interruption unlike that of a younger brain. This inability to multi-task is normal with aging and is expected to become more apparent with the increase of older generations remaining in the work field. Alzheimer's disease 阿兹海默病症 [ˈælts,haɪmə(r)z dɪˌziːz] a serious illness affecting your brain that makes it difficult for you to remember things and becomes worse as time passes.

It rips me apart心碎 because there is no interaction because he is on that many drugs to manage his pain,' Mr Martin said. Dr Teo said Australia is guilty of leaving children to fight brain cancer battle alone. 'That's pretty dismal [the funding levels] considering just two in ten patients will survive for five years in Australia,' he told Daily Mail Australia. Brain cancer has more impact on society than any other cancer but it receives least amount of funding.' When asked about why there's low awareness surrounding the disease, Dr Teo had a simple answer. 'It's because everyone dies,' he said. 'There are no survivors who can tell their story and become ambassadors for the cause - not even from my high profile clients. They're all dead.' For the average Australian family who've been affected by the tragedy, they often don't want to relive the devastating moments. 'It's an especially terrible death for children who lose function, become paralysed and suffer horribly from the debilitating ( debilitate [dɪˈbɪlɪteɪt] to make someone physically or mentally weak.

Sam's family hope to raise awareness of childhood brain cancer and the impact it can have.

 妮可谈父崩溃: The Oscar-winning actress' voice cracked as she started to tear up, prompting the KIIS FM hosts to cut to a break to spare Kidman. She was discussing the birthdays of her children when Jackie Henderson mentioned her daughter Kitty turns four on December 10, a birthday shared by Kidman's dad, Dr Anthony Kidman. "It's beyond sad for us," Kidman said after bringing up 提起 her father. "I have to say so many people did reach out伸手相助 and it's the greatest thing. "I used to be like, 'I don't want to intrude (by reaching out to someone mourning) or it's awkward', and now having been on the other side of it换位思考, 站在另一边, it is so beautiful when people do it and it really means so much. Nicole was talking this morning about her devastated close-knit family when she began to get upset.

 银行经理轻松放款: A NatWest bank manager gave £830,000 to a fraudster 诈骗犯 posing as a 91-year-old customer 'because he wanted to eat his fish and chips', a court heard. Umar Mughal, 27, approved the bogus transfer of the funds at the Brentwood branch in Essex where he worked. He allegedly failed to carry out any checks to confirm the identity of the man who came into the branch on May 9 2012 claiming to be a wealthy client. Mr Mughal put his error down to 归结于, 归因于 the 'negative atmosphere' in the bank, while also claiming that he was trying to have his lunch at the time of the incident. She continued: 'From a banking perspective people working in the branches know we could be targeted by a fraudster and to look at documentation to see if it is genuine.' Ms Payne added: 'The computer trail tells us what enquiries have been made in the account. 'As soon as Mr Mughal sat down he entered the sort code ( A sort code is the name given by both the British and Irish banking industry to the bank codes which are used to route money transfers between banks within their respective countries via their respective clearance organisations. In Ireland it is known as the NSC or National Sort Code and is regulated by IPSO (Irish Payment Services Organisation). Although sort codes in both countries have the same format, they are regulated by different authorities as each country has its own banking system.) and account number. 'I would have expected to see a signature enquiry as that's how Mr Mughal told me he identified the customer. 'But the first thing after that is the funds transfer.' She said: 'There is no looking into the account for signatory or anything of the kind.' Umar Mughal, 27, is currently on trial at the Old Bailey accused of fraud by abuse of position渎职.
