Men Prefers Supermodel Beauty

Non-Traditional Models
According to sociologist Cliff Hillard, "More and more, men today find themselves bombarded with un-retouched images, and with that comes the considerable mental burden of trying to reconcile what they see in these ads and magazines with their personal perceptions of beauty."

Hillard, who studies attainable ideals of female attractiveness in the media and how they can create an overly realistic sense of what women ought to look like added that "For most men, it's very discouraging. Instead of seeing only rail-thin models, they’re now exposed to accurate representations of women whose proportions mimic those of actual human females."

Slavery Still Exists in These Countries

Slavery Still Exists
Slavery still exists today. Worse, an estimated 30 million people worldwide are living in modern-day slavery, according to the inaugural Global Slavery Index published on October 2013.

The index, compiled by the Walk Free Foundation (WFF), reported that India by far had the largest number of enslaved people and it is also prevalent in the West African nation of Mauritania, where four percent of the population was deemed to be held in slavery.

AFP's Bloodiest Encounter in Mindanao

When about 43 Philippine police commandos were killed in an 11-hour firefight with Muslim rebels last 25 January 2015 was reported, it was considered by Interior Minister Manual Roxas as "the single largest loss of life in recent memory by our security forces."

However, this is not the bloodiest and most violent encounter for the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) in the last four decades. That distinction belonged to the massacre of about 119 officers and men of the Philippine Army’s 31st Infantry Battalion that were deployed to Pata island off Jolo on 12 February 1981.

New Home Test for Colon Cancer

Cologuard
Last 27 October 2014, millions of people who have avoided colon cancer screening will be able to get a new home test that's noninvasive and doesn't require the icky preparation most other methods do.

The test is supposed to give the person his first look at the effectiveness of using cancer-related DNA in stool. It could greatly boost screening for a deadly disease that too few people get checked for now. However, some believed it could lure people away from colonoscopies and other tests that, unlike the new one, have been shown to save lives.
