Newborn baby found alive in morgue 12 hours after being declared dead

A newborn in Argentina was found very much alive in a morgue by her mother 12 hours after hospital staff had declared the baby dead.

The mother, Analia Bouguet, tells TeleNoticias TV that the hospital still has issued her only a death certificate for the infant rather than a birth certificate. Bouguet said she is planning to pursue amedical malpractice suit.

The Daily Mail reports that the baby was Bouguet's fifth and was born prematurely.

Two hours after being issue a death certificate, Bouguet and her husband visited the morgue because they wanted to see their child one more time.

"The baby was there and they put the little casket on a stretcher. We looked for a bar to pry it open," the baby's father, Fabian Veron, said in a press conference. "My wife looked and uncovered it slowly. She saw the little hand and then uncovered the face. That's when it let the first little cry out."

"That night, we went to the morgue. We wanted to take a photo of our daughter," Bouguet told Argentina's Clarin newspaper. "But when a worker opened the drawer, we heard a cry and she was alive."

The newborn has been named Luz Milagros, or "Miracle Light." She is still listed as being in critical condition but is said to be improving. The deputy provincial health minister announced that five medical professionals involved in the case have been suspended, pending further investigation.

"At the moment we have no explanation," hospital director Jose Luis Meirino told the paper. "The baby was attended to by obstetricians, gynecologists and a neonatologist. They all reached the same conclusion, that this girl was stillborn."

Nazi warplane lying off UK coast is intact

LONDON (Reuters) – A rare World War Two German bomber, shot down over the English Channel in 1940 and hidden for years by shifting sands at the bottom of the sea, is so well preserved a British museum wants to raise it.

The Dornier 17 -- thought to be world's last known example -- was hit as it took part in the Battle of Britain.

It ditched in the sea just off the Kent coast, southeast England, in an area known as the Goodwin Sands.

The plane came to rest upside-down in 50 feet of water and has become partially visible from time to time as the sands retreated before being buried again.

Now a high-tech sonar survey undertaken by the Port of London Authority (PLA) has revealed the aircraft to be in a startling state of preservation.

Ian Thirsk, from the RAF Museum at Hendon in London, told the BBC he was "incredulous" when he first heard of its existence and potential preservation.

"This aircraft is a unique aeroplane and it's linked to an iconic event in British history, so its importance cannot be over-emphasized, nationally and internationally," he said.

"It's one of the most significant aeronautical finds of the century."

Known as "the flying pencil," the Dornier 17 was designed as a passenger plane in 1934 and was later converted for military use as a fast bomber, difficult to hit and theoretically able to outpace enemy fighter aircraft.

http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/Rare-World-War-II-German-bomber-found/ss/events/wl/040811warplane;_ylt=AhABR2Uluv1KUhmsW0NdmpiGWo14;_ylu=X3oDMTE3MnBzMW5hBHBvcwMyOQRzZWMDeW5fZmVhdHVyZWQEc2xrA3NsaWRlc2hvd19saQ--

In all, some 1,700 were produced but they struggled in the war with a limited range and bomb load capability and many were scrapped afterwards.

Striking high-resolution images appear to show that the Goodwin Sands plane suffered only minor damage, to its forward cockpit and observation windows, on impact.

"The bomb bay doors were open, suggesting the crew jettisoned their cargo," said PLA spokesman Martin Garside.

Two of the crew members died on impact, while two others, including the pilot, were taken prisoner and survived the war.

"The fact that it was almost entirely made of aluminum and produced in one piece may have contributed to its preservation," Garside told Reuters.

The plane is still vulnerable to the area's notorious shifting sands and has become the target of recreational divers hoping to salvage souvenirs.

The RAF museum has launched an appeal to raise funds for the lifting operation.

A Six-year old lives alone in China

Will your children be impressed by this? can they do it?


Subject: 6-year-old lives alone in China


A hillslope overgrown with tall grass is A-Long's playground. The village committee sometimes send him living supplies to make sure he does not starve or feel cold.


A-Long demonstrates Chinese kung-fu.It is hard to imagine that the cheerful child has lost both his parents.

A six-year-old HIV carrier, has been living alone since his parents died of AIDS.



The boy, known as Ah Long, does his own washing, cooking, studying and he also rears some chicken.



He lives in his parents' house at the foothill village of Malu Mountain in Liuzhou in Guangxi Province, China.


Ah Long has an 84-year-old grandmother, who visits him quite frequently and cooks for him.


The granny has also planted some vegetables near the house for Ah Long.

Ah Long does know what AIDS is.


All he knew was that his friends never want to be near him, doctors did not want to treat his wounds and his only family member – his granny – refused to live with him.

He was also rejected by the nearby primary school.

The only companion the boy has is a dog called Lao Hei.

Ah Long playing with Lao Hei in front of their house

Due to his complicated family background, the Welfare Department has declined to take care of the boy.

Ah Long studying in his room alone


He receives 70 yuan (RM33) monthly subsistence allowance from the civil bureau but it is not enough.

After Ah Long's story was published in Chinese newspapers, a couple announced that they would adopt the boy.

However, it has yet to materialise.
More pictures of him.


A-Long lives in a hut on Malu Mountain that has no windows and leaks when it rains. His new blanket was given to him by a kind-hearted soul.

Six-year-olds like him normally have many mischievious playmates, but not A-Long.His parents suddenly moved to the mountain far away from the village.

A-Long has had his dog "Lao Hei" for a few years. Lao-Hei is at his side whenever A-Long is up and about. They are each other's closest friends.


Mrs Li gave a basketball to A-Long. He plays with it for an entire afternoon on the uneven, dusty ground. Social workers sometimes visit to give him cookies and crackers.


A-Long's grandmother visits him to bring him donations from the village committee. He will receive 70 yuan from November onwards. The amount increases to 100 yuan from next year onwards.


His grandmother visits every few days. A-Long shows her his lunch of noodles.She wanted to send him to attend first grade, but the rest of the parents protested when they learnt of his condition.


A-Long wanders along the hills nearby. Social workers say that it is still best for relatives to adopt him.


Despite his small stature, A-Long frequently explores the hills nearby. He brings home firewood whenever he sees logs on the ground. At six years old, he has learnt to cook, wash, rear chickens and gather firewood.


Boredom is a constant enemy for A-Long.Only when his grandmother visits does he have company.



His parents built this hut six years ago, but their death left A-Long all alone. At six years old, he has learnt to cook, wash, rear chickens and gather firewood.


A-Long starts a fire to cook dinner. A few broken branches and some old newspaper later, a fire starts. Kind-hearted people who wanted to adopt him after his parents' death backed out after they learnt of his condition.


He thinks that he leads a good life because he has Lao Hei. Even though his family has met with misfortune, A-Long has not shed any tears.


A-Long hugs Lao Hei in front of his hut. Lao Hei sometimes sleep with him and guards the door.


His dinner consists of rice and vegetables without salt or any other garnishes. Leftovers are given to Lao Hei.. Recently, A-Long received 20kg of rice and 5kg of noodles from a kind-hearted person.


A-Long goes on guard whenever strangers go past. He is afraid they will steal his chickens.


In the evening when the temperature dips, A-Long boils water and takes a bath in the chilly wind.


A-Long kicks a ball around in the front yard.


A-Long sustained this injury when cooking dinner. A large burn scab covers his left hand between the thumb and index finger.



The future is unclear for A-Long. No one knows what will happen.

THE INABILITY TO RECONCILE REALITY AND EXPECTATION RESULTS IN SUICIDAL TENDENCIES.........SO

If you see someone without a smile today give them one of yours!

Vietnam zoo owner jailed for selling dead tigers

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) - A zoo owner in Vietnam has been sentenced to three years in prison for selling the carcasses of several endangered tigers that died in his care, a judge said Monday.

Huynh Van Hai was convicted during a two-day trial earlier this month of selling the dead tigers, which had been raised at his zoo in Binh Duong province near Ho Chi Minh City, said presiding judge Hoang Huy Toan.

Hai told the court that the tigers died of natural causes - four of bird flu contracted after eating infected chickens in 2003 and another from choking on a bone, Toan said.

Rather than reporting the deaths to authorities as required, he sold the dead animals, saying he needed the money to care for his other tigers, Toan said.

Tiger parts are prized in traditional medicine for their supposed healing qualities and fetch top dollar on the illegal black market, where 3.5 ounces (100 grams) of tiger bone glue sells for $1,000.

The case was uncovered in early 2006, when police found one of the dead tigers being transported in a taxi. Toan said 14 other defendants involved in the case, including Hai's son, have been sentenced to up to 30 months in jail on the same charges.

Local conservation group Education for Nature Vietnam hailed the court's decision as a "vital first step" in ending the trade in tiger parts.

Ministry to discuss tour cancellation with agents

KUALA LUMPUR: The Tourism Ministry will meet with tour and travel operators to discuss cancellations of tour packages to Japan and the refund of deposits paid by customers following the earthquake and tsunami there.

Its minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen said the ministry’s secretary-general Datuk Dr Ong Hong Peng had been directed to convene a meeting with the Malaysian Assoc-iation of Tour and Travel Agents (MATTA) and outbound tour operators soon.

She said the ministry had received a number of complaints from the public about losing their deposit.

“Deposits will be forfeited following a withdrawal, that is the usual practice, but now, it is not that they don’t want to go, it is simply not the right time.

“It is all about fairness and we hope to reach an amicable decision,” she said after launching the Malaysia GP Sale yesterday.

Dr Ng also said the ministry expected a 30% drop in Japanese visitors over the next few months.

About 500,000 Japanese visited Malaysia last year, bringing in RM1.5bil in revenue.

Dr Ng added that the ministry’s 24-hour crisis management centre had been activated following the dis-aster in Japan to collect information and address issues to ensure the effect on the tourism industry was minimal.

On local tourists in Japan, Dr Ng said there were no reports of injury or fatality. Dr Ng added that this would be a very challenging year for the tourism sector in view of the disaster in Japan and the political crisis in the Middle East.
