China is about taken over World Largest economy from United State of America...

The United States has had the world’s largest economy for more than 140 years, but according to new numbers from a World Bank project, that run will likely come to an end this year.
The World Bank’s International Comparison Project (ICP) recently released comparison GDP estimates for the world’s economies for 2011, and found that China’s economy had caught up so close to the U.S. its economy is likely to surpass the U.S.’s this year.
That’s far sooner than economists had been expecting; the OECD estimated China would become the world’s largest economy in 2016; China itself pegged 2019 as the year it would happen. The Centre for Economics and Business Research put it as far off as 2028.
Like many estimates of GDP, the ICP data adjusts the numbers for “purchasing power parity” (PPP). Because exchange rates fluctuate constantly, measuring the actual (or “nominal”) GDP can be misleading. PPP adjusts the numbers to reflect what people in a given economy can actually afford.
In updating its numbers, the ICP found it had underestimated the purchasing power of people in developing countries. Once it adjusted the numbers for the higher purchasing power, it found China’s economy to be 87 per cent as large as the U.S.’s in 2011.
Given that China is expected to grow 24 per cent between 2011 and 2014, and the U.S. economy is expected to grow about 7.5 per cent, that would mean China will overtake the U.S. this year.

Students suspended after teacher shows porn on class projector.

Two students have been suspended from school after their teacher accidentally showed a pornographic picture to his class on a projector.

Laura Lester’s daughter took a picture of the embarrassing moment an X-rated image appeared on a screen during a biology lesson at JC Harmon High School in Kansas, US.
The teacher’s personal laptop was connected to the projector when he turned it on during the lesson.
According to KCTV, the girl then sent the image to her boyfriend, before it was posted on the Facebook page of another boy from the same school.
The image was of ‘a naked woman in a compromising position from behind’, KCTV reports.
Both students were later given a two-day suspension for the ‘inappropriate use of electronics’ after sharing the image.
‘When she came home from school she was crying her eyes out, unable to speak about what had happened,’ Ms Lester said.
‘It was very upsetting that this is happening when our kids are in school, when they are supposed to be learning.’
‘I believe my son got in trouble because the school was trying to hide something,’ fellow mum Karen Winkel added.
The school did not say if the teacher will face disciplinary procedures over the incident

New father eats wife’s placenta in a taco, describes meat as ‘beef-like’

This man Nick Baines was found eating his wife placenta after collecting it form the hospital......

Many men hold the hand of partners during childbirth, but one man has taken his involvement with the experience a step further – by eating his wife’s placenta.

Nick Baines took the next leap as he left the hospital with his wife, newborn son and a doggy bag with ‘a few cheeky steaks of placenta’.

Keen to find out how it would taste, the Guardian journalist decided to indulge in placentophagy, the act of eating the placenta.

While still frowned upon by some – the bewildered surgeon performing his wife’s C-section asked: ‘How are you going to cook it…with spices?’ – eating the placenta for its apparent health benefits is growing in popularity.

Mr Baines searched online for recipes to best ingest his wife’s discharge, with an initial attempt at a placenta smoothie proving unsuccessful.

The meat-filled drink ‘looked rank’, despite being blended with coconut water and banana for 10 minutes.

In his own words: ‘Up front was the distinct flavour of banana, superseded by a metallic, bloody backnote.

‘It had a mineral earthiness to it and tasted exactly like the delivery room had smelled.’

He finally found success with seasoning the meat and cooking it served in a taco, which apparently tasted ‘rich, with a beef like quality.’

‘It was tender, kind of like roast brisket and not dissimilar to Texas BBQ.'
