New computer virus spreads from Ukraine to disrupt world business By Eric Auchard and Dustin Volz,Reuters 2 hours 56 minutes ago Reactions Sign in to like Reblog on Tumblr Share Tweet Email By Eric Auchard and Dustin Volz FRANKFURT/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A computer virus wreaked havoc on firms around the globe on Wednesday as it spread to more than 60 countries, disrupting ports from Mumbai to Los Angeles and halting work at a chocolate factory in Australia. Risk-modeling firm Cyence said economic losses from this week's attack and one last month from a virus dubbed WannaCry would likely total $8 billion. That estimate highlights the steep tolls businesses around the globe face from growth in cyber attacks that knock critical computer networks offline. "When systems are down and can't generate revenue, that really gets the attention of executives and board members," said George Kurtz, chief executive of security software maker CrowdStrike. "This has heightened awareness of the need for resiliency and better security in networks." The virus, which researchers are calling GoldenEye or Petya, began its spread on Tuesday in Ukraine. It infected machines of visitors to a local news site and computers downloading tainted updates of a popular tax accounting package, according to national police and cyber experts. It shut down a cargo booking system at Danish shipping giant A.P. Moller-Maersk , causing congestion at some of the 76 ports around the world run by its APM Terminals subsidiary.. Maersk said late on Wednesday that the system was back online: "Booking confirmation will take a little longer than usual but we are delighted to carry your cargo," it said via Twitter. U.S. delivery firm FedEx said its TNT Express division had been significantly affected by the virus, which also wormed its way into South America, affecting ports in Argentina operated by China's Cofco. The malicious code encrypted data on machines and demanded victims $300 ransoms for recovery, similar to the extortion tactic used in the global WannaCry ransomware attack in May. Security experts said they believed that the goal was to disrupt computer systems across Ukraine, not extortion, saying the attack used powerful wiping software that made it impossible to recover lost data. "It was a wiper disguised as ransomware. They had no intention of obtaining money from the attack," said Tom Kellermann, chief executive of Strategic Cyber Ventures. Brian Lord, a former official with Britain's Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) who is now managing director at private security firm PGI Cyber, said he believed the campaign was an "experiment" in using ransomware to cause destruction. "This starts to look like a state operating through a proxy," he said. ETERNAL BLUE The malware appeared to leverage code known as "Eternal Blue" believed to have been developed by the U.S. National Security Agency. Eternal Blue was part of a trove of hacking tools stolen from the NSA and leaked online in April by a group that calls itself Shadow Brokers, which security researchers believe is linked to the Russian government. That attack was noted by NSA critics, who say the agency puts the public at risk by keeping information about software vulnerabilities secret so that it can use them in cyber operations. U.S. Representative Ted Lieu, a Democrat, on Wednesday called for the NSA to immediately disclose any information it may have about Eternal Blue that would help stop attacks. “If the NSA has a kill switch for this new malware attack, the NSA should deploy it now,” Lieu wrote in a letter to NSA Director Mike Rogers. The NSA did not respond to a request for comment and has not publicly acknowledged that it developed the hacking tools leaked by Shadow Brokers. The target of the campaign appeared to be Ukraine, an enemy of Russia that has suffered two cyber attacks on its power grid that it has blamed on Moscow. ESET, a Slovakian cyber-security software firm, said 80 percent of the infections detected among its global customer base were in Ukraine, followed by Italy with about 10 percent. Ukraine has repeatedly accused Moscow of orchestrating cyber attacks on its computer networks and infrastructure since Russia annexed Crimea in 2014. The Kremlin, which has consistently rejected the accusations, said on Wednesday it had no information about the origin of the attack, which also struck Russian companies including oil giant Rosneft and a steelmaker. "Unfounded blanket accusations will not solve this problem," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. Austria's government-backed Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) said "a small number" of international firms appeared to be affected, with tens of thousands of computers taken down. Microsoft, Cisco Systems Inc and Symantec Corp said they believed the first infections occurred in Ukraine when malware was transmitted to users of a tax software program. Russian security firm Kaspersky said a news site for the Ukraine city of Bakhumut was also hacked and used to distribute the ransomware. A number of the victims were international firms with have operations in Ukraine. They include French construction materials company Saint Gobain , BNP Paribas Real Estate , and Mondelez International Inc , which owns Cadbury chocolate. Production at the Cadbury factory on the Australian island state of Tasmania ground to a halt late on Tuesday after computer systems went down.

10 important things to remember in life Sometimes our life becomes so busy that we forget to remember important facts... Which one relates most to you?

Researchers have identified more than 300 compounds in propolis. The majority of these compounds are forms of polyphenols. Polyphenols are antioxidants that fight disease and damage in the body. Specifically, propolis contains the polyphenols called flavonoids. Flavonoids are produced in plants as a form of protection. They’re commonly found in foods thought to have antioxidant properties, including: fruits green tea vegetables red wine RESEARCH What the research says Propolis is thought to have antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. But scientific research on propolis is limited. Researchers aren’t exactly sure why, but the bee product appears to provide protection from some bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Wounds Propolis has a special compound called pinocembrin, a flavonoid that acts as an antifungal. These anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties make propolis helpful in wound healing. One study found that propolis can help people who have had traumatic burns heal faster by speeding up new healthy cell growth. Another study found that a topical propolis alcoholic extract was more effective than a steroid cream in reducing mast cells in oral surgery wounds. Mast cells are associated with inflammation and slowed wound healing. Cold sores and genital herpes Ointments that contain 3 percent propolis, such as Herstat or Coldsore-FX, may help speed healing time and reduce symptoms in both cold sores and sores from genital herpes. One study found when topical propolis was applied three times a day, it helped to heal cold sores faster than no treatment. The researchers found the propolis cream not only reduced the amount of herpes virus present in a person’s body, but also protected the body against future cold sore breakouts. Cancer Propolis has been suggested to have a role in treating certain cancers as well. According to one study, some of the anti-cancerous effects of the substance include: keeping cancerous cells from multiplying reducing the likelihood cells will become cancerous blocking pathways that keep cancer cells from signaling to each other The study also suggested that propolis could be a complementary therapy — but not a sole treatment — for cancer. Another study found that taking Chinese propolis could be a helpful complementary therapy in treating breast cancer due to its anti-tumor effects on breast cancer cells. SAFETY Safety concerns There is not yet enough evidence to determine whether or not propolis products are safe, but they’re not considered high-risk. People typically take in some propolis when they eat honey. However, if you have an allergy to honey or bees, you will also have a reaction to products containing propolis. Propolis may also cause its own allergic reaction when used for a long time. Beekeepers are some of the people most likely to have a propolis allergy because they’re around the compound so much. The typical allergic reaction is an eczema-like skin breakout. Talk to your doctor before adding propolis to your treatment plan, especially if you have existing allergies or asthma. Currently, there is no medically recommended dose because more research is needed. One study recommends a daily concentration of roughly 70 milligrams per day, but this isn’t an FDA recommendation. Manufacturers may suggest a dose on the product label. Ask your doctor if propolis is safe for you before taking any

How to Save Your Body from Uncontrolled Diabetes Treatment of uncontrolled diabetes can be very tiresome. But when one considers the benefits from regulating the effects of uncontrolled diabetes, one can clearly see the difference in the quality of life that ensures.

How Does Our Body Work? Glucose is a major source of energy for the human body. We get our glucose from the food we ingest, specifically, from sugars in our food. Recognizing Uncontrolled Diabetes Diabetes comes in two flavors, type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Type 1 Diabetes With diabetes named as type 1, the pancreas of the patients fails to create sufficient amount of insulin in their bodies. It can produce a tiny amount of insulin or can produce no insulin. The bottom line is that the cells in the pancreas cannot satisfy the body’s needs. The result is a significant amount of glucose trapped in our blood stream. It can ultimately create a blood sugar overload. As a predominantly genetic disease, it’s most common patients are children and young adults. Type 2 Diabetes This kind of diabetes is the most common type. It takes the lion’s share of 90% of all adults who have diabetes. In this type of diabetes, the pancreas can successfully produce the insulin, but the cells in your body, for various reasons, are unable to use it properly. Medicine calls this phenomenon “insulin resistance.” In the unfortunate event of insulin resistance of the body, the pancreas starts to increase its production of insulin to allow the cells a proper supply of it. However, this rarely happens. As the cells receive more and more insulin, they become more and more resistant to it, which in turn only creates a spiral of health hazards that create more and more sugar in our blood levels. And excess blood sugar levels are dangerous for our organs. Uncontrolled diabetes will allow the glucose in our blood to remain there for far too long and often cause permanent and irreversible damage to our organs. In the next pages, we will see how uncontrolled diabetes can damage your heart, nerves, kidneys, eyes, brain and teeth. Now, when we consume nutrients, our digestive system, our stomach specifically, disintegrates the food into glucose. Our stomach then sends the glucose into our blood so that it can be spread out through the cells in our body where we need energy. This is how the body creates blood sugar. Glucose is essential for the functioning of our organs, no matter if they are muscles, kidneys, brain, skin, etc. They all rely on glucose to provide them with energy. And How Does the Glucose Reach Our Cells? Well, glucose transfers through the blood with the help of insulin, a hormone released from the pancreas. Its job is to deliver the glucose to the cells that require energy. But how does uncontrolled diabetes comes into play? Recognizing Uncontrolled Diabetes Diabetes comes in two flavors, type 1 and type 2 diabetes. How to Save Your Body from Uncontrolled Diabetes Treatment of uncontrolled diabetes can be very tiresome. But when one considers the benefits from regulating the effects of uncontrolled diabetes, one can clearly see the difference in the quality of life that ensures. Heart A study from 2011 published in Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine found that the risk of heart attack in people with diabetes can increase from 100% to 400% (4 fold). This study also examined other risks related to cardiovascular health and found that the risk ratio is also same for coronary artery disease, heart failure, and death from cardiovascular complications. The study also notes that patients with uncontrolled diabetes that are of younger age also share the same risks ratios. Coronary Artery Disease The Coronary Artery Disease can develop for many other reasons other than diabetes. However, in diabetic patients, it grows much more rapidly. It starts with high levels of blood sugar. The sugar in your blood has extremely negative impact on the arteries that provide oxygen enriched blood to your heart. https://www.healthandlovepage.com/save-body-uncontrolled-diabetes/2/ In turn, this can cause more and more cholesterol buildup in the arteries, eventually shrinking the flow of blood through them. Over time, the arteries become more and more clogged, depriving the heart of oxygen, and eventually, causing a heart attack. Coronary Artery Disease, can also develop from numerous other factors, most common including High cholesterol, obesity in the abdomen and high blood pressure. High LDL Cholesterol More commonly known as the “bad” cholesterol, the low-density lipoprotein tends to settle in the arteries and cause coronary artery disease. Abdominal Obesity Excess fat that accumulates around the abdomen can equally tend to increase the bad cholesterol. As we said earlier, the bad cholesterol is a major factor in the development of coronary artery disease. High Blood Pressure The pressure in the blood vessels that pass through the heart can create damage in the blood and can cause a severe strain. This can also increase the risk of coronary artery disease and heart attack. Nervous System Nerves are sending the instructions from our brain to the organs in our body, allowing us to move quickly, see, hear, breathe and more. But for patients with uncontrolled diabetes, nerves are a common point of damage. According to research from the American Family Physician, published in 2005, almost 50% of patients with diabetes in the United States have as some point suffered nerve damage. The cause of nerve damage lies in the increase of blood sugar levels. The sugar levels hamper the signals (or rather vibrations) that nerves send to the organs. But the increased blood sugar doesn’t stop there. It can also irritate the tissues of blood capillaries that transfer blood to various other organs of the body. Less and less blood for the nerves means two things: less oxygen and fewer nutrients to the nerves. At this point, nerve damage is imminent and can be severe. Nerve disorders usually entail different symptoms, depending on the part of the body that is affected. This parts can include your hands, legs, and reproductive organs. Two types of nerve damage are common in diabetics, sensory motor damage, peripheral damage and autonomic nerve damage. Sensory-motor and Peripheral Damage Patients of this kind of disorder usually experience symptoms like burning and tingling sensation, increased overall sensitivity, cramps, numbness, sharp pain, weakening of the muscles, and a decrease in the sense of balance and coordination. Autonomic Nerve Damage Autonomic nerve damage can include a range of symptoms, namely: constipation, bladder problems, vaginal dryness, erectile dysfunction, visual eye problems (difficulties adjusting to a dark lit room), increased heart rate, fainting, and dizziness. Kidneys Our kidneys can filter various waste materials from our blood and then empty them from our bodies through urine. The blood that gets filtrated with our kidneys also contains beneficial ingredients like red blood cells and proteins. Our kidneys cannot filter these substances, and they remain in our veins, helping our body. But when uncontrolled diabetes is present, it can cause significant damage to the filters of our kidneys. Over time, this will cause a complete suppression of the filtration process. And this is important because without successfully filtrating our urine, we can no longer contain the proteins in our blood, and instead, they will escape our bodies through our urine. Many disorders arise from the failure of the kidneys to filter our urine. The most common ones are microalbuminuria and diabetic nephropathy. Microalbuminuria Often, the occurrence of microalbuminuria can be a predecessor of kidney failure not that far in the future. It all starts as an overabundance of the protein albumin in our urine. Diabetic Nephropathy The most typical case of progressive kidney disease is diabetes-induced kidney disease, called diabetic nephropathy. In this stage, our kidneys are nonfunctioning and can not support us in any way any longer. It will take a lot of time for kidney damage to occur. High blood pressure, can also contribute substantially in aiding the development of kidney failure. https://www.healthandlovepage.com/save-body-uncontrolled-diabetes/2/ Eyes Our eyes are one of the most sensitive parts of our body. As such they are very susceptible to every type of change and disturbance to the body. Individuals who have diabetes (both type one and two) have an increased danger of blindness. This phenomenon has been thoroughly researched and noted by the British Medical Journal, in a study from 2015. Apart from blindness, uncontrolled diabetes can increase the danger of Cataract, Glaucoma, but also to diabetes-specific diseases like diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema. By helping these conditions to appear, diabetes can also cause irreversible damage to your eyes. Now, let’s take a look at each disorder individually. Cataract People with diabetes have from anywhere from double to quadruple chance of developing cataract more than individuals who don’t have diabetes. The cataract attacks the natural lens of the eye by clouding them and causing blurred vision. Cataract is the most common predecessor to blindness. A cataract usually occurs in folks older than 40 years. But with diabetes, you just have to watch out for it all the time. Glaucoma Glaucoma can also cause blindness. It arises when various factors that are related to blood circulation start building up pressure in the eye socket, near the optic nerve. The optic nerve connects the brain with the eyes. By applying pressure to the nerve, a permanent destruction of your eye vision is possible. Diabetic Retinopathy The presence of high levels of sugar in your blood can also hinder your eyesight. They can do this by damaging the blood vessels that are in the retina, which is a tissue that wraps around the eye. Effects of diabetic retinopathy are blindness, vision damage, and vision loss. Diabetic Macular Edema This type of visual disorder usually develops after a diabetic retinopathy. The macula is a part of the retina that is in charge of tasks that require straight vision like reading, writing and driving a vehicle. Due to complications with the retina, the macula gets filled with fluid that hinders straight vision. This condition results in additional vision loss. Brain As a central organ in the functioning of our bodies, the brain is in charge of the processing of information and memory. The essence of the brain is white matter. And by losing a part of the brain matter, we can seriously undermine our cognitive capacity and even experience a decline in our mental capabilities. A study from Diabetologia, published in 2007, discovered that type 1 diabetes patients, tested in a neuropsychological check up had significantly reduced their brain’s white matter. When asked to perform design and drawing tests, they had decreased performance in average and had a tendency to process the information they receive more slowly. Type 2 patients also have increased risk of brain damage. Diabetes can hamper their mental abilities and can even affect their performance of cognitive functions. A common tendency for these kinds of patients is progressive cerebrovascular disease as well as cognitive impairment. Cerebrovascular Disorder Cerebrovascular disorder hampers the proper blood flow to the brain. The cause originates in the consistent high blood pressure, which shrinks the blood vessels that are supplying blood to the brain, causing the disease. When blood vessels from the brain shrink and narrow their flow due to increased blood pressure, it can also cause brain strokes. There are two types of brain strokes, a major stroke, and a mini-stroke. However, don’t let the names fool you. They are both very undesirable for your brain. Vascular Cognitive Impairment The other common disease that occurs in type 2 diabetes is the vascular cognitive impairment. It is a condition that undermines a person’s memory, similarly to Alzheimer’s disease. However, this disease can also impair problem-solving, retention abilities and information processing. Teeth Your oral health also suffers from increased blood sugar. Healthy blood can fight infections very effectively, but when your blood contains an excessive amount of sugar, bad things happened. Your teeth are a magnet for diseases and disorders like tooth decay, gingivitis, cavities, and periodontitis. Let’s take a look at each of them. Tooth Decay and Cavities The mouth is a home to many bacteria that can create plaque on your teeth. The high levels of sugar in your blood can undoubtedly help the bacteria by adding additional enamel damage from excess glucose. And if we couple this with bad oral hygiene, the plaque on your teeth can continue to spread and harden. As time goes, eventually the plaque will erode the enamel of the teeth, which is a type of protective layer that protects the teeth from decay and cavities. Gingivitis As we said earlier, diabetes hinders the natural ability of the body to defend against bacteria and infections. Additionally, if you also practice bad oral hygiene, can cause plaque to appear on your teeth enamel. Apart from causing tooth decay and cavities, this will also irritate the area of the gum that is at the bottom of the teeth called “gingival.” The results will be swelling and bleeding. Periodontitis Following the development of gingivitis, a more severe and advanced condition called “periodontitis” emerges, attacking the tissue that supports the teeth, as well as the bone itself. It will cause the infected teeth to fall out. Apart from these four disorders, smaller, less severe disorders may appear. These include white patches on the area of the tongue (oral thrush) and so-called “burning mouth syndrome.” Source: Top10HomeRemedies Image Source: Youtube https://www.healthandlovepage.com/save-body-uncontrolled-diabetes/3/ http://www.healthandlovepage.com/ 11 Pressure Points For Headache Relief https://www.facebook.com/officialgoodful/videos/1394819427255186/
