This love-bra only unhooks for love

Finding true love is something that every human craves, but there are so many things that can get in the way of that. For women, one of the most undesirable problems comes in the form of guys just trying to hook up with them. A Japanese company called Ravijour aims to put an end to this epidemic with the revolutionary True Love Tester Bra, one of the first wearable true love detectors.
Able to tell how a woman is feeling (after some bio-signature readings of the operator so as to better understand the user), the True Love Tester Bra will unhook itself from the front clasp when the Bra senses that the user is feeling what their researchers are calling love. Elevated heart rates are the main form of communication between the Bra, the user, and the handy app that comes with the Bra.
Ravijour is set to change the way women date men, as well as the relationship between the bra and the woman. Now, instead of just a device to be unhooked, the bra is a relationship test in the bedroom.

Reasons why you should reduce your baby's exposure to mobile phones

Mobile phones have become ubiquitous with modern life. So much so, realising either your battery is about to die, or there's no signal, OR you've left it at home are all likely to induce panic. Our phones are designed to make our lives easier, so we take them with us wherever we go, whipping them out whenever the situation demands, and even when it doesn't. This constant use, however, may be damaging our babies and young children. Mobile phones using 3G, 4G and Wifi communicate through electromagnetic fields (EMF). There has been much public concern regarding the possible effects (cancer, neurological effects, developmental disability effects) of this exposure on babies whose skulls are thin and incomplete and whose brains are still rapidly developing.
So, given what's known about EMFs, what's the best course of action for parents?
To understand more, MirrorOnline spoke to Dr Philip Chadwick, Chair of the European safety committee on EMF. You should limit your baby's exposure... "...To within existing safety limits," Dr Chadwick advises.
"On the other hand, they are smaller and that makes them less good at absorbing radio waves."
Dr Chadwick also points out the guidelines apply to children of up to three years of age.
"Once they're old enough to walk and talk easily at the same time they're not materially different to adults in this respect.

Kim Jong-Nam: Women arrested to face murder charges

Two women implicated in the killing of the estranged brother of North Korea's leader are to be charged with murder tomorrow, Malaysia's prosecutor says.

"They will be charged in court under Section 302 of the penal code," the attorney general said, confirming that they would face a mandatory death sentence if found guilty.
He said no decision had yet been taken on whether to charge a North Korean man, who is also being held over the killing.

Pictures from latest anti-migrant attacks in South Africa

Violence against foreigners has flared up again in parts of South Africa. Earlier this month, immigrants' homes and businesses were looted and torched in suburbs of Johannesburg and Pretoria, the capital city, raising concerns about anti-foreigner sentiment in the country. The latest attacks follow previous bouts of xenophobic violence in 2008 and 2015 which resulted in the deaths of foreign nationals and the displacement of hundreds of migrants who were too afraid to continue living in the new communities they now called home.
With the end of apartheid and the dawn of democracy in 1994, South Africa opened itself up to the world. A steady stream of migrants from around Africa made their way south in search of safety and better opportunities, in what was once the continent's fastest-growing and largest economy. But nowadays, with the economy static and youth unemployment rising, some locals are accusing foreigners of stealing jobs and of being involved in criminal activities, such as drug peddling and prostitution.

Five foods you need to eat every day for a flatter stomach

A flat stomach is something we all yearn for but something many of us struggle to achieve. We all know that ditching alcohol and doing hundreds of sit-ups can help shift the weight around our middle but did you know there's certain foods that will actually help you lose stomach fat?
From watermelon to miso soup and even wholewheat bread, we round up the foods you should be eating every single day to ensure you have a toned stomach.

Wholemeal bread

 
Dr Marilyn Glenville, author of Natural Alternatives to Sugar, www.marilynglenville.com, advises avoiding any foods that make your blood sugar rise quickly, because - as blood sugar drops again - your body releases adrenaline and cortisol to stabilise it once more and you end up caught in a catch 22 situation. She says you should swap to wholegrain alternatives that release energy slowly. 
According to Marilyn, wholemeal bread contains four times as much fibre, more than three times as much zinc and almost twice as much iron as white bread. The carbohydrates in wholemeal break are broken slowly over several hours, like the coals in the fire, and so do not give any sudden flooding of sugars into the bloodstream.

Mo Farah says he is 'a clean athlete' after leaked report on doping by coach

Great Britain's Mo Farah says he is a "clean athlete" after a leaked report suggested his American coach may have broken anti-doping rules to boost the performance of some of his athletes. The leaked US Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) report, dated March 2016, was obtained by the Sunday Times.
"If Usada or any other anti-doping body has evidence of wrongdoing they should publish it and take action rather than allow the media to be judge and jury," said Farah, who has won 5,000m and 10,000m gold at the past two Olympics.
The coach in question, Alberto Salazar, has been under investigation since a BBC Panorama programme made allegations about drugs use at his US training base. According to the Sunday Times, the leaked report also alleges Salazar, head coach of the world famous endurance Nike Oregon Project (NOP), routinely gave Farah and other athletes legal prescription drugs with potentially harmful side-effects without a justifiable medical reason. The investigation into Salazar, who is also a consultant to UK Athletics (UKA), has been under way since at least June 2015. Salazar and Farah deny they have ever broken anti-doping rules.

Builder accidentally fires nail gun into his own penis

The builder had been using a hydraulic hand nail gun at work in Swansea when he mistimed pulling the trigger and sent the nail flying into his groin, just centimetres from his penis. Although the 22-year-old man doesn't wish to be named, his colleague Mathew Meagher was on hand to capture photographs of the horrific injury - presumably so he can look back fondly when he's got over the pain. Mathew explained: "For want of a better phrase, the nail was pretty much through his d**k."
The man received the excruciating injury on Thursday afternoon while working on a site outside Swansea in Wales. Surely this injury would have him writhing on the floor in agony? Well, apparently not. Mathew says his mate 'wasn't fazed' by the accident. Mathew, who runs his own building company, said: "He was very, very lucky. If it had been any closer the doctors said it would have gone straight through one of the main arteries.

Malaysia airport terminal declared safe after Kim Jong-nam assassination

The airport terminal where the half-brother of North Korea's leader was killed with a nerve agent has been declared free of any "hazardous material" by Malaysian police. Security teams in protective suits had earlier swept the area. Malaysia's health minister said that an autopsy suggested the toxin used to kill Kim Jong-nam caused "very serious paralysis".

Xenophobia: MTN 'shuts' offices in Nigeria, police 'on guard'

Police in Nigeria are reportedly guarding the head office of the mobile phone giant MTN in the capital Abuja after protesters against xenophobic attacks in South Africa tried to storm it on Thursday. According to BBC, the building was sealed off and no-one was "being allowed to enter". An unnamed senior manager in Abuja allegedly confirmed the development.
"We had to hurriedly lock up and go home. I don't see them as protesters but as people who came to steal and cause confusion.
"It is a case of invasion. They came, opened the gate, entered and harassed people. They stole customers' phones; they stole the phones and laptops of staff. There were up to 30 policemen but they didn’t do anything to stop them," Nigeria's Daily Post newspaper quoted the manager as saying.
The source condemned the invasion, saying that the protesters could have made their point in a more civilised way, the report said. Meanwhile, reports indicated that the telecoms giant released a statement, expressing its concerns and calling for calm.
