diaper saves life of 18-month-old boy

SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) _ A disposable diaper has saved the life of an 18-month-old boy, breaking his fall from a third-floor apartment window, officials said Thursday.

Caua Felipe Massaneiro survived a 30-foot (10-meter) fall because his diaper snagged on a security spike embedded in the concrete wall around his apartment building in the northeastern Brazilian city of Recife.

The boy dangled from the spike for a moment, then "the diaper opened and the baby fell to the ground, but at a much slower speed," a police officer said. "The diaper obviously lessened the impact of the fall and saved the baby's life."

"It wasn't the diaper that saved him," Massaneiro told the newspaper. "It was God."

Jetting off on weekend breaks to the Mediterranean to enjoy some sun could be pointless, according to a new study which suggests that that is when it is most likely to rain.

Researchers in Spain have uncovered a "weekly weather cycle" which shows that rain falls more often on the weekends than on other days.

They found that during the summer months more rain fell at the weekend than during weekdays.

Scientists already know that air pollution can affect weather patterns.

The researchers behind the study believe that the higher amounts of air pollution produced during the week, and the lower levels at weekends, could create a weekly weather cycle, bringing rain just as the working week finishes.

Archaeologists unearth ancient tribe in Peru

Piercing blue eyes undimmed by the passing of 1,300 years, this is the Lady of the Mask – a mummy whose discovery could reveal the secrets of a lost culture.

She was found by archaeologists excavating a pyramid in Peru’s capital city Lima,
alongside two other adult mummies and the sacrificial remains of a child.

It is the first time a tomb from the region’s Wari culture has been discovered intact and gives historians the chance to pin down exactly how the pre-Incas buried their dead.

The mummy - assumed to be a noblewoman because of the ornate mask - was found in a crouching position surrounded by ceramics and textiles associated with female weavers.

Earlier in the week, workers at the Huaca Pucllana site removed two adult mummies found lying near the lady of the mask.

Archaeologists have been excavating the area for three years and while they found plenty of artefacts, the 30 other tombs uncovered had been looted.

Civet coffee, aka kopi luwak

per pound: $110

The palm civet, a cat-like animal also called a luwak, ingests fresh coffee cherries but doesn't digest the beans inside. After the beans pass through the civet's digestive system, workers collect them and wash them in spring water. Supposedly, the civet's digestive enzymes make the beans less acidic, improving the coffee's flavor.

Vanilla

$50 and up

Vanilla is expensive because growing and harvesting it is so labor-intensive

Foie gras

per pound: $50

Rare golden tigerfish

Robert De Niro Jr, Oscar winner and famed method actor, has been happy to take a supporting role for once as a gallery in Bilbao has staged a retrospective of his father, Robert De Niro Senior's work.

The painter, who died in 1993 at the age of 71 after a life marked by recurring bouts of depression, was well known for an almost obsessive focus on perfection. He would often draw scores of studies before embarking on a canvas.

became known during the postwar era for his dynamic, richly-colored paintings

While studying with Hofmann at his Provincetown summer school, De Niro met painter Virginia Admiral, whom he married in 1942. The couple moved into a large, airy loft in New York’s Greenwich Village, where they were able to paint

Admiral and De Niro separated shortly after their son, Robert De Niro, Jr. was born in December of 1943.

first impressions - trustworthy or not?

Lots of people trusted Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter. At least two women married him - though they each knew him by a different name

As he sits in a Boston jail cell, and police try to unravel the tangled trail he's left since coming to the United States from Germany 30 years ago, the question the rest of us are left with is how he got away with it for as long as he did

Human beings are social animals, and our first instinct is to trust others. Con men, of course, have long known this - their craft consists largely of playing on this predilection

But recently, behavioral scientists have also begun to unravel the inner workings of trust. Their aim is to decode the subtle signals that we send out and pick up, the cues that, often without our knowledge, shape

our sense of someone's reliability

their posture mimics ours, even the slope of their eyebrows or the thickness of their chin - can matter as much or more than what they say about themselves.

Spanish team making 'slit-eyed' gesture

The photo was discovered on the official website of the Spanish Tennis Federation

The latest image appears to show players in Spain’s Federation Cup team doing the “slit-eyed” gesture along with members of their support staff. There is no suggestion that they intended to cause offence.

The photos, which were reprinted around the world, added to Spanish sport's poor reputation for racial sensitivity.
