Sex Education on Net in Shanghai ...China Develops New Artificial Liver Machine ...Michael Jackson Grounded  
 
Students in Shanghai have begun to learn about sex through a special website for sex education set up by the city's Institute of Planned Parenthood Research (SIPPR). The expert in this institute says it is all known that most Chinese youth have little opportunity for sex education. Teachers' awkwardness in class and their insufficient understanding of such knowledge often ruined schools' sex education efforts.In addiction a large number of parents in Shanghai had not received systematic education on sex. That's why youngsters could only acquire informal sex-related knowledge through TV and magazines. The education of sex needs both unilateral information gathering and bilateral interactive communicationprivate. Referring to the situation of Chinese tradition, it is a good and safe way to learn the knowledge about sex through the internet for Chinese parents and students. source:xinhuanet

Chinese doctors have developed a new generation of bio-artificial liver machine, a more intelligent device that can automatically decide what treatment a patient needs and help them feel more comfortable during the process. In addition to regular treatment provided by existing machines, the new device can also carry out more complicated operations including plasma replacement and hemodialysis. The machine, much smaller than previous versions, can imitate the detoxifying and metabolizing functions of a real liver and provide interim treatment after liver transplants. It also has an early warning device that detects potential system failures. The new unit will be put into clinical use in April.

Michael Jackson won't be traveling anytime soon. The embattled entertainer has been forced to turn over his passport, which was briefly in his possession for a promotional trip to Great Britain that authorities suspect never took place. The passport was at first confiscated on Nov 20 when Jackson turned himself in on charges of child molestation, but then returned after a deal was brokered between the D.A. and Jackson's attorneys, to allow the pop superstar to travel to Britain between Dec. 20 and Jan. 6 to fulfill some previously scheduled dates to promote his new hits album, Number Ones.
