Children as young as 9 were among around 25,000 people with disabilities sterilized in Japan under a now-defunct eugenics law, with 65 percent of the procedures carried out without consent and some being led to believe they were being treated for an illness, the Diet's first report on the issue showed Monday. Based on a parliamentary probe into the reality of the law, effective from 1948 to 1996, the report said sterilization was a condition for admission at some welfare facilities or for marriage.

THREE backbenchers have voiced their disagreement with the police's decision to prevent a group of farmers from marching to Parliament to deliver their petition. The incident occurred when a small group of farmers from Chemor, Perak, gathered at Tugu Negara to protest against their eviction for development purposes. 'If people want to demonstrate, hit the streets or submit a memorandum, let them do it. Give them space,' Bentong MP Young Syefura Othman tweeted last night (Sept 12). Initially, government representatives had agreed to receive the farmers' petition at Tugu Negara.

Prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves was a late withdrawal before the match due to acute neck pain, but in big news, captain James Tedesco left the game mid-way though the second half for an HIA, with the head knock later deemed to be Category 1 by the independent doctor, which would rule him out for next week's match against the Tigers.  Going into tonight's game, there was all to play for with both teams needing to win to keep their finals flame flickering. The Eels were always going to do it tough without their chief playmaker Mitchell Moses, who suffered a facial fracture last week and it showed, despite them looking up for the contest early, displaying the type of intent expected of a game of this importance.

Researchers with the University of Oklahoma's Natural Products Discovery Group recently published findings that indicate a novel breakthrough treatment for fungal infections. Fungal infections are killing thousands of Americans each year, some with a morbidity rate of nearly 80%. To make matters worse, only a handful of antifungal treatments are available, and even those are becoming less effective as fungi become more resistant. However, University of Oklahoma researchers recently published findings in the Journal of Natural Products indicating that a novel breakthrough treatment may have been discovered.

We are going to talk about "crazy". Are all comedians crazy? I personally identify with the term 'crazy'. I know enough about myself that I say what I mean. If that constitutes me as such, well be it. However, some take offense to the word as though it holds this negative connotation. Most people that are outspoken are referred to as "off', "misunderstood" or "crazy". But what is that? Our upbringing, surroundings or how situations mold or shape us as an individual. I challenge this in a discussion because I believe mental health is thrown around loosely.
