Do more
For its part, said assigned Kerman - won jointly with Aberatin the Nobel Peace Prize in October / November last - that the international community should do more in favor of andagainst the government which "continues to shed blood" in her day.

"We want more of the acts, we want you to froze the assets of Saleh and his men, and thatis making a move in the International Criminal Court because it is a war criminal."

Migration
On the other hand, caused the confrontations between the Yemeni army and militants of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula in the displacement of 25 thousand families from Abyan province since May / May.

And the transfer of site news News near the Yemeni government for Gresp Vningrson - thehead of a research team prepared a report on the humanitarian situation in Yemen during the political crisis - as saying that more than 25 thousand Yemeni families were forced to leave their homes in the province of Abyan, after the establishment of groups of Al Qaedaoccupied Zanzibar, the capital city of the province.

"Bill Gates Palestine" as ambassador to Google

Google's ambassador in Gaza, Mohammed Madhoun (from his page on Facebook)

Did not prevent the isolation imposed by Israel on the Gaza Strip, limited Palestinian youth was not over the age of 14 years to penetrate the world of the Internet and computer programming, and excellence, which enabled him to acquire the title of Ambassador of the search engine on the World Wide Web, "Google" in the sector.


It culminated in the gift of Mohammed Madhoun - known passion for the world ofcomputers and the Internet - the launch of the title "Bill Gates Palestine" after he proved the merits are enormous.


Has painted more than fifty engineers and a programmer who participated in a competition against a team that's "Google", which recently visited Gaza, while solvingcomplex programming contest in record time, and solve the problem facing the "YouTube"Global mobile.



Opportunity
Had the opportunity for this boy to prove his abilities when Google's team visited Gaza to train engineers and specialists, where he attended the lectures help of one of them.


When presented with the team competition on new technology related to language (HTML 5) in four minutes, enabling Mohammed and another engineer of the solution Vibhrpresent, and attract the attention of the team that give him the title "Ambassador of Googlein the sector," and attached to the membership of the company as the younger.


And strengthened painted - which was honored in the formal sector - impressive team to provide the company's global work in the field of computer programming.
Inspiration
Mohammed says that his brother ten years his senior, who was a source of inspiration, it was imitate spends long hours on the computer modest possibilities in his small house in Gaza City.


Perhaps the proximity of his peers talented engineers in the world of Internet and computer programming enabled painted - despite his young age - from the design of several websites, including the site "shopping" that is frequented by more than five thousand browser.


Says his mother - that have expressed great pleasure - that her son, he was mimicking his brother Thaer, without knowing specifically what he was doing, even when he went to school the first day in class the first primary was carrying in his hand laptop.


And refers to his father take his son for the love that the computer has grown with him since his childhood, which encouraged him to acquire a laptop, which has not attained the age of eight.


He adds that Muhammad began to receive training courses in the computer field since he was eight years old, has today completed the majority of study programs related to computer programming.

Muhammad did not stop at the end the success of self-serving, but also extended to serve the community, to succeed in penetrating many of the websites of Israel, because of what he says he deliberately distort the image of the Palestinians and their position, and his eagerness to defend the cause of his people.

The image of Mohammed completed a banner for residents of the Gaza Strip, which suffers from a tight Israeli blockade five years ago led to the almost total isolation from the outside world, and the weakness to his keep pace with the technological development of different horizons.

Rice genetically modified to produce human blood

New rice can be used in the treatment of burns (Reuters)
Enable scientists to modify the grains of rice and genetically so that it produces an important component of human blood in an attempt to provide an alternative to blood donations.
And protein extracted from the rice plant, which contains the human genes can be used in hospitals to treat burn victims and to help patients who have lost large amounts of blood.
The owners of these scientists argue that this study will provide protein abundance and safe alternative to products from human blood donations scarce due to declining numbers of donors and avoid the need to conduct tests to detect diseases such as AIDS and hepatitis.
It is noteworthy that the UK needs now to about one million liters of blood each year but only 4% of the eligible population who donate.
It is worth mentioning that the donated blood is separated into three components - red blood cells and platelets, which are used in helping clot blood, plasma major component of a protein called human serum albumin - given to patients who suffer great loss in the blood.
The protein human serum albumin the most abundant protein in human blood and the important functions including the transfer of hormones and minerals to all parts of the body and eradicate toxins (poisons) harmful from the bloodstream and help regulate blood pressure.
Dr Daichang Yang, who led the research team at the University of Wuhan in central China, the protein human serum albumin is important even if demand is estimated at more than 500 tons per year worldwide. And commercial production from the current depends primarily on the pooled human plasma, which are limited in quantity, but medically required in large quantities.
Yang added that there is also a growing concern to public health of human serum albumin derived from the plasma because of the potential risk for transfer of infectious pathogens such as hepatitis and AIDS. And use what is known as bio-device interaction for grain rice can provide safe and economic approach for the production of compounds derived from animals.
Was developed by Dr. Yang and his colleagues based on the method of inserting human genes in bacteria by using Asian rice, which prevents the plant to biological factories capable of producing proteins identical to those found in humans. This study has shown success in the insertion of the DNA of human serum albumin and protein product was chemically and physically identical to that found in the blood.
And Dr. Yang also hopes to use the rice plants genetically modified to produce other proteins present in human blood, including hemoglobin which gives blood its color with distinctive red and carries oxygen to all parts of the body and are important proteins of the immune system such as Algluben immune system.
The research team also is working on the test strain of rice genetically modified produce proteins similar to insulin for use in the treatment of diabetes.
He considered a specialist consultants in the field at the University of Bristol, this study constitutes significant progress and could revolutionize the provision of blood products for use in hospitals, and the production of blood proteins in large quantities to compensate for the current shortage.
