People now live in ourselves.

By Simon O'Hare
Both the number of people living alone has almost as much as 40 years ago in the UK, according to new official data.
In 1973, only nine hundred people lived alone but was born in the year 2011 with up to 16 per cent reported by country offices in the dissemination of statistics (parts)
Among young people have increased greatly, so living with those aged 25-44, five times more likely to live alone in the year 2554 (2011) (10 per cent) than in 1973 (two per cent).
The overview report explores common life 2011 also revealed in the makeup of the family, change the year.
In the number of single women were recorded with 43 per cent of single women aged 18-49 years 2554 (2011) compared to a 18 percent in 1979.
The proportion of married women declined. By the third, while at the same interval. With increasing proportion of cohabiting with the three-fold Alliance.
There are also the proportion of single-parent households rise three-fold over the course of the study, while the proportion of families with only one child, add about three.
The report also focuses on conversion technology that occurred in the House in 40 years in the UK.
More than one-third (37 per cent) of households with central heating in 1972 but is now 98 per cent of households are heated at the flick of a switch.
Similarly, over time, have seen a regular fixture in the UK has become a home to 96 per cent of households owned in the year 2554 (2011), compared with 66 percent in the washing machine.
The gathering comes to a computer at home, and latterly the Internet has certainly also come step through the course of the study, which found that nine percent of households have a computer in 1984, compared with 80 per cent of households a year 2011.
Close to all the family only now have access to telephones, but not in the previous decade, with fewer than half (42 per cent) of households in 1972 as the owner of the phone.
The figures do not shed light on the relationship and development of technology, but also significant changes to the nation's lifestyle habits.
Some people may be surprised when you want to save the report to find out whether the frequency of alcohol decreased over the past year.
The data shows that the proportion of people who drink at least 5 days a week fell from 23 per cent in 1998 to 16 percent in 2011, while the equivalent figures for women, 13 per cent in 1998 and nine per cent in 2011.
The two men, sex, age 45 or older found more younger people are drinking alcohol at least 5 days a week.
The proportion of men who smoke more than half since 1974-from 45 per cent to 20 per cent in the year 2554 (2011)-but there was a change that no matter how much cigarette smoke. By men and women
About 372000 households have participated in the survey because it has set up four decades ago, as well as interviews. There are around 970000 people with the aim of monitoring the population, housing, employment. The country's health and education.

Diseases from animals hit 2 billion people a year
AppId is over the quota
LONDON — A global study mapping human diseases that come from animals like tuberculosis, AIDS, bird flu or Rift Valley fever has found that just 13 such diseases are responsible for 2.4 billion cases of human illness and 2.2 million deaths a year.

After weeks of drifting in and out of consciousness, the new mom finally held her baby for the first time. Love really can grow from lust, study says Something not so tasty in your barbecue -- brush debris The strange reason diet soda makes you fat Science cracks the code of what makes us cool
The vast majority of infections and deaths from so-called zoonotic diseases are in poor or middle-income countries, but "hotspots" are also cropping up in the United States and Europe where diseases are newly infecting humans, becoming particularly virulent, or are developing drug resistance.
And exploding global demand for livestock products means the problem is likely to get worse, researchers said.
"From cyst-causing tapeworms to avian flu, zoonoses present a major threat to human and animal health," said Delia Grace, a veterinary epidemiologist and food safety expert with the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) in Kenya and lead author of the study.
She said targeting these diseases in the hardest hit countries is crucial to protecting global health, and failing to tackle them would allow demand for meat products to "fuel the spread of a wide range of human-animal infectious diseases."
The study, conducted by the ILRI, the Institute of Zoology in Britain and the Hanoi School of Public Health in Vietnam, mapped livestock-keeping and diseases humans get from animals, and drew up a list of the top 20 geographical hotspots.
It found that Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Tanzania, as well as India have the highest zoonotic disease burdens, with widespread illness and death.
It also found the United States and Europe - especially Britain - Brazil and parts of Southeast Asia may be becoming hotspots of "emerging zoonoses", which are infecting humans for the first time, are especially virulent or are becoming drug resistant.
The report studied so-called endemic zoonoses which cause the vast majority of illness and death in poor countries.
One such disease is brucellosis, also known as Bang's diseases or Mediterranean fever, which is a highly contagious zoonosis people catch by consuming unsterilized milk or meat from infected animals.
The researchers estimated that about one in eight livestock in poor countries are affected by brucellosis. As well as threatening people with disease, this also reduces milk and meat production in cattle by around 8 percent.
The study also looked at epidemic zoonoses, which typically occur as outbreaks - such as anthrax and Rift Valley fever - and at the relatively rarer emerging zoonoses like bird flu. A few of these, like HIV/AIDS and H1N1 swine flu, have shown the ability to spread to cause pandemics.
While zoonoses can be transmitted to people by either wild or domesticated animals, most human infections are acquired from the world's 24 billion livestock, including pigs, poultry, cattle, goats, sheep and camels.
The study initially looked at 56 zoonoses that together are responsible for around 2.5 billion cases of human illness and 2.7 million human deaths per year.
It then zoomed in on the 13 most important, and found high levels of infection with these in livestock in poor countries.
Some 27 percent of livestock in developing countries showed signs of current or past infection with bacterial food-borne disease - a source of food contamination and widespread illness.
The researchers estimated at least a third of the world's cases of diarrhoeal disease are caused by animal-human diseases and said this was the biggest zoonotic threat to public health.
John McDermott, director of the CGIAR research program on agriculture for nutrition and health led by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), said that in booming livestock sectors in developing nations the fastest growing areas are poultry and pigs - putting the potential disease risk emphasis on flu.
"Historically, high-density pig and poultry populations have been important in maintaining and mixing influenza populations," he said in a statement accompanying the study.
"A major concern is that as new livestock systems intensify, particularly small- and medium-sized pig production ... more intensive systems will allow the maintenance and transmission of pathogens. A number of new zoonoses ... have emerged in that way."

Best in Blogs: Village People Music Victory, Classic PC Game Respawns, and Facebook IPO Hoodiegate
AppId is over the quota
In a victory for the rights of Village People everywhere, Victor Willis, who was the "cop" character, lead singer and co-writer for the flashy 1970s disco group, has won an important copyright case, reclaiming ownership in the songs YMCA, In the Navy, and 31 other Village People classics. It's a court ruling "with significant implications for the music industry," explains ArtsBeat: "Early last year, Mr. Willis invoked a provision of copyright law called 'termination rights,' which gives recording artists and songwriters the ability to reacquire and administer their work themselves after 35 years have elapsed. " This first such case is good news for all kinds of artists. "Over time it's expected to affect the rights to songs by Dylan, Springsteen, Tom Petty, Billy Joel and others," HuffPo notes. "Good for him and probably good for all of us," says Threedonia. "This move by large entities to corral and monopolize artistic content is troublesome." "This is precisely the result that many record labels have feared: that a musician could recover the copyright interest in his songs," adds Jonathan Pink. "Yikes. Not because of what this means to the labels, but what it means to me! Now these songs will be in my head all day! Ugggg. I blame U.S. District Judge Barry T. Moskowitz."
Some old-school entertainment is just 2 good 2 B 4-Gotten. Bethesda Softworks is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the pioneering PC game Wolfenstein 3D by making it playable for free on the Web. Says Mashable: "Wolfenstein 3D, which can be played here, is considered one of the earliest first-person shooters, and the game that made the genre popular on PC...Expect work productivity to drop today." "This is the game that started it all," says AppNewser, "and it is widely credited as being the ancestor or godfather to RPG games as diverse as HalfLife, Portal, and World of Warcraft." Geek.com calls it "one of the most important and memorable PC games of all time ... it changed the way many of us thought about video games, video game violence, and totally insane boss fights ... It's bloody, not at all safe for work, and quite difficult, but it's a foundational video game experience. Pro tip: Z is strafe."
Back in the modern world, the Hoodie as a statement beyond fashion has again reared its hooded head. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wore a hoodie instead of a suit while pitching his company's zillion-dollar IPO to investment bankers. Analyst Michael Pachter told Bloomberg: "He's actually showing investors he doesn't care that much ... I think that's a mark of immaturity. I think that he has to realize he's bringing investors in as a new constituency right now, and I think he's got to show them the respect that they deserve because he's asking them for their money." Backlash, anyone? Business Insider says the tech world immediately began "turning Pachter into a punching bag ... It was the tech world versus the banking world." Kara Swisher of All Things D tweeted that the analyst is a "doofus." "This is what happens when you take people from outside of tech and collide them with topics that they don't understand, in this case, Mark Zuckerberg's wardrobe," says The Next Web. Pachter defended his fashion advice for Zuck and said he's not anti-hoodie, noting that there's a photo of himself wearing a hoodie at the gaming blog Kotaku. Om Malik blogs that the real problem isn't that the hoodie makes a statement, it's simply "a fashion abomination...The hoodie madness has spread so wide and so far that even respectable designers such as Ted Baker are selling their own spin on the hoodie. Question: Will a Yahoo patent on Hoodies mysteriously emerge and stop Zuck from being a hoodie-maven?"
In a debate over fashion between tech guys, there really are no winners. But the Facebook IPO is sure to make it all good for those lucky investors who can see beyond the hoodie. One stock analyst has predicted via CNET that that "although Facebook is expected to go public in the next few weeks between $28 and $35 a share, the stock could hit $46 within the next 12 months....Arvind Bhatia bases his bullish opinion of Facebook's shares on a host of factors, including his contention that the company's monthly active users will grow from about 900 million right now to more than 1.5 billion in 2016." Adweek delivers the top 10 things to know about the Facebook IPO, including "Facebook and Google will end up in some kind of death match" (#9) and "Zuckerberg will continue to wear hoodies to all major press events and executive board meetings" (#5). VentureBeat says the company still faces the challenge of "turning hype into trust." At Deal Journal, MarketWatch's Dave Callaway suggests "global economic instability could pose a substantive challenge to Facebook's IPO." Want way more info about the Facebook IPO than you are prepared to care about? Former disgraced tech stock analyst Henry Blodget has a long story at his Business Insider about "How Goldman Sachs blew the Facebook IPO." It ends with a detailed disclaimer citing an immense list of his conflicts of interest in covering Facebook (and likely many other tech topics) and ends with the line "So, basically, I'm conflicted out the wazoo." Now you tell us, Henry! The Ape Con Myth seems to have obtained the Facebook IPO roadshow presentation, and like Wolfenstein 3D, you can play it on the Web for free. Ape Con says: "If you can watch all 30 minutes and 59 seconds and still want a share of Facebook ... go for it."
