The coolest air host announcement
This is absolutely cool! I got this from Jay of Channel 4. He's talking about it on his radio show yesterday.
An orgasm a day keeps the doctor away - Teacher
A National Health Service leaflet about the benefits of sexual pleasure has been circulated to parents, teachers and youth workers.
Authors of the document argue too much emphasis was laid on the need for "safe sex" and relationships while the main reason to have sex, that is, for enjoyment, has been pushed back, reports Times Online.
The leaflet, entitled Pleasure and drawn up by NHS Sheffield, reads: "an orgasm a day keeps the doctor away."
It also says: "Health promotion experts advocate five portions of fruit and veg a day and 30 minutes' physical activity three times a week. What about sex or masturbation twice a week?"
Steve Slack, director of the Centre for HIV and Sexual Health at NHS Sheffield, said that teenagers have as much right as an adult to an enjoyable sex life.
Slack, one of the authors, also said the move could help delay teenage sex.
But Anthony Seldon, master of Wellington College, Berkshire, who introduced classes in emotional wellbeing, appeared less convinced, saying the approach was "deplorable". (ANI)

Bagel heads is the latest weirdest craze in Japan
I learned this from Rob n Vicky in the Morning show.A new fad in Tokyo clubs has teens injecting themselves with bags of saline, disfiguring their heads! They call it “Bagel Heads.”
The saline are not permanent. Those bread shapes only last for about 24 hours. The bagels can even be shaded with any food coloring available and molded into any shape you like.
Saudi 'genie' sued for harassment, brought to court
BBC reports a family in Saudi Arabia sues a "genie" and taking it to court, accusing of theft and harassment.
They accuse the spirit of threatening them, throwing stones and stealing mobile phones, Al Watan newspaper said.
The family have lived in the same house for 15 years but it was only recently that they became aware of the spirit. They have now moved out.
In Islamic theology, genies are spirits that can harass or possess humans.
'Get out of the house'
"We began to hear strange sounds," the head of the family, who come from Mahd Al Dahab, told the Saudi daily. He did not want to be named.
"At first we did not take it seriously, but then stranger things started to happen and the children got particularly scared when the genie started throwing stones."
He added: "A woman spoke to me first, and then a man. They said we should get out of the house."
A local court says it is trying to verify the truthfulness of the claims "despite the difficulty" of doing so.
Many Westerners know the term genie from the tale of Aladdin and the magic lamp, or the 1960s American sitcom, I Dream of Jeannie.
But the BBC's Sebastian Usher says genies, or jinn, in Islamic theology can be a lot more sinister.
They are believed to be normally invisible but with the ability to assume human or animal form, and are often said to be motivated by revenge or jealousy.
There is a lingering belief in genies in the Muslim world that predates Islam, our correspondent says.

Missing parrot returned to keeper in Japan after reciting name, address
Police rescued the African grey parrot two weeks ago from a neighbor's roof in the city of Nagareyama, near Tokyo. After spending a night at the station, he was transferred to a nearby veterinary hospital while police searched for clues, local policeman Shinjiro Uemura said.
He kept mum with the cops, but began chatting after a few days with the vet.
"I'm Mr. Yosuke Nakamura," the bird told the veterinarian, according to Uemura. The parrot also provided his full home address, down to the street number, and even entertained the hospital staff by singing songs.
"We checked the address, and what do you know, a Nakamura family really lived there. So we told them we've found Yosuke," Uemura said. The Nakamura family told police they had been teaching the bird its name and address for about two years. But Yosuke apparently wasn't keen on opening up to police officials.
"I tried to be friendly and talked to him, but he completely ignored me," Uemura said.
