Aamir Khan and his TV show "Satyamev Jayate" is gaining momentum week after week.
On iDubba this show has seen Tune ins: 221, Ratings: 5.0 /5 from 135 users, Reviews/Comments: 70+.
Based on the social issues that were raised, many of the state governments have started to implement some of the solutions that were shared in the show. The latest being Maharashtra Government implementing Generic Medicine shops that the common man can afford. It seems that people have started to raise their voices against the basic needs that they should be given by the government. Well now it was time for the 7th episode, and time for a new social issue. The earlier 6 episodes were about Female foeticide, Child sexual abuse , Marriages and dowry harassment , Does Healthcare Need Healing? , "Where is the love?" and "Persons with Disabilities" So what will be the 7th episode about!! Well here you go.
This time when the show started Aamir said that there are only men in the audience today. And the topic that would be raised today as about Women's Safety. The first question that was asked was "Where do you think Women are more unsafe". And most of them said that they are most unsafe in public places. But as always we were wrong. They are most unsafe at home, and this was evident when they showed a report about some Hospitals. The govt survey revealed that 40% women are victim of domestic violence. Satyamev Jayate team also did visit Bhabha Hospital in Mumbai and they revealed that nearly 40% of the women admitted were for cases of Domestic Violence. Shocking!!! Wait there is more. According to a survey done by Yugantar Education Society almost 84% women are victims of Domestic Violence Is this a shocking figure?
The first story was about Snehalata Jadhav and her life. Her story was an eye opener about the kind of society that is present around us. Snehlata said that today she repents going through Domestic Violence for more than 15 years. She advises women to walk out of the torture. Domestic violence faced by women is yet another reflection of our society. The second story was about Rashmi and the trauma that she had to go through. She says most women don't walk out because of insecurity & lack of courage. Both the women just wanted to get their freedom, and did not even ask for any money for any financial support. This evil of Domestic Violence is not confined to the poor families only. Writer Rashmi Anand is an example.
Soon there were some video clips that were shared by men who have actually gone ahead and committed Domestic Violence. And some of them were proud of their act. Really shocking to see they talk about it and not repenting about it. The concept of Domestic Violence is based on the notion of patriarchy, which needs to be converted into equality. Researchers have proved that Women have the capacity to work for longer duration than men, so one cannot justify that Men work hard and bring home frustration. Dr Kamla says the concept of Patriarchy is dehumanizing the men of this country. Do you agree? There was a very valid point that was raised by Kamla ji that Families should keep a property in the name of their daughter, rather than giving dowry. Also Parents should tell their daughters to walk off from Domestic Violence and not adjust to it.
Mr Balan, SP in Harnaya was also invited on the show to talk about this sensitive topic. Mr Balan did talk about Domestic Violence ACT. It says that no one can throw you out of the house; you have been living in it with your husband after marriage. But the strange part is that Police & society believe that incidences of Domestic Violence must be sorted within the family. Does this thinking need to change? Some Police say, "Adjust karke raho" when a woman finally gathers her courage to go & file a report. Genetic memory of a patriachal society!
There was a ray of hope when Shanno ji was invited on the show, when she shared her story. Shanno was beaten black and blue by her husband because she took two minutes to open the door. And soon she did try to win back her freedom, the moment she hit back her husband. She gives the credit to her children for new Shanno Driver and her profession and her new strength. Shanno's daughters worked so that she can train herself as a driver and take care of the family. They stood up against Domestic Violence. Shanno also went on to add, 'It's not necessary they should answer violence with violence, but they must stop the Domestic Violence in some way.
It must be said that Aamir khan and his team never fails to impress, today's episode too was an eye opener. There is no doubt that it is a clear reflection of the insensitive Indian mental attitude towards the women. Do you think the society is responsible for applauding violence & considering kindness a characteristic of the weak? Masculinity is often measured with three things – risk, violence and performance. Do you think, this is a pseudo belief?
Soon it was time for the 7th song of this series and this time it was the voice of Meenal Jain and melody of Rama Sampath that managed to take the audiences into a new world.

Regular dental cleanings are imperative to maintaining oral health. But it is what you do at home in between your dental cleanings that really makes a difference in the strength and health of your teeth and gums. Follow our dental tips below to keep your oral health on track.
Refine Your Brushing Technique
You might be brushing your teeth twice a day, but are you doing it the right way? The proper way of brushing is to hold your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle as you make contact with your teeth and gums. Brush lightly in an up-and-down motion, focusing on the front and back of each tooth and along the gum line. You should be brushing for a total of two minutes!
Clean Between Your Teeth
A toothbrush can not reach all the nooks and crannies between your teeth to remove bacteria and food particles. You will need dental floss or another interdental tool, like the WaterPik or Airfloss which shoots a gentle stream of water in between the teeth and along the gum line. Use either of these items daily to prevent tooth decay, bad breath and gum disease.
Clean Your Tongue
The tongue holds large amounts of bacteria. Give your tongue a good cleaning with your toothbrush or a tooth scraper instrument. You will probably find your breath is fresher after doing this daily.
Add Fluoride To Your Routine
Fluoride has been shown to reduce the occurrence of tooth decay. Try to get fluoride into your daily routine in some way, whether it is by using fluoride toothpaste, mouth rinse, or by drinking tap water.
Eat A Healthy Diet
Eating nutritious foods can help keep your teeth strong and healthy. Fibrous, crunchy foods like celery, apples, carrots, and broccoli actually scrub and clean your teeth. Calcium rich foods like yogurt and cheese are terrific for strengthening the teeth and the bones supporting the teeth.

The upcoming album LOS AMSTERDAM—due out April 7 on Mad Decent–is where the sound of future music lives, somewhere between YELLOW CLAW's native city (Amsterdam) and their second home (Los Angeles). Two songs from the album–"Invitation" and "Love & War," both featuring Yade Lauren–have already been heard. Today (February 24), the Dutch duo launch the album's pre-sale with the new single "Good Day" featuring DJ Snake and Elliphant.
"Good Day" (feat. DJ Snake & Elliphant) echoes eighties new wave before slipping into a snappy and warbling vocal transmission from Swedish songstress Elliphant, "It was a good day." It marks YELLOW CLAW's third collaboration with French titan DJ Snake, continuing what's become a tradition.
For the follow-up to their 2015 debut Blood For Mercy, YELLOW CLAW–who is Jim Aasgier and Nizzle—offer 13 tracks featuring a variety of special guests. The album leads with "Home" featuring Sophie Simmons, daughter of KISS' Gene Simmons, and is also highlighted by rap-fueled tracks "City On Lockdown" featuring Juicy J & Lil Debbie (the latter of whom wowed YELLOW CLAW fans at the duo's two sold-out Los Angeles Palladium this past summer) and "Stacks" featuring Cesqueax, Quavo and Tinie Tempah. Other notable album cuts include "Friends In the Dark" with soul singer Otis Parker; "Hold On To Me" with fellow dance floor mavens GTA; plus two songs with plenty of female-fronted fire, "Rose Horizon" featuring STORi and "Light Years" featuring Rochelle.
YELLOW CLAW first released songs in 2012 through their label Barong Family with Blood For Mercy–a #1 Billboard Heatseeker and Top Dance/Electronic album–arriving to the U.S. through Mad Decent. The Edison-award winning album (the Dutch equivalent of a Grammy) features the single "In My Room"–made in partnership with DJ Mustard and featuring Ty Dolla $ign and Tyga–so far clocked more than 100 million streams on Spotify (not counting remixes).
With a huge, loyal fanbase crowding their gigs from Las Vegas to Tokyo and everywhere in between, YELLOW CLAW is known to deliver electrifying shows. Look for Aasgier and Nizzle to play select North American dates now up to the release of LOS AMSTERDAM in Las Vegas at their Intrigue residency, Denver, Montreal and Los Angeles at Beyond Wonderland.

Nineteenth Century International Photographs
The Nineteenth Century International Photographs collection contains 195 images, primarily of landscapes and cityscapes taken by professional photographers at sites around the world between circa 1870 and 1900. A very few interior, portrait, and still life views round out the collection.
Although the collector of this group of photographs is unidentified, many American and European architects in the 19th-century typically gathered images of important classical and "exotic" sites as souvenirs of travels and for design inspiration. Dozens of the sites in this collection, especially those in Paris, Istanbul, Cairo, and Japan, were particularly popular, and many of these images were issued by the photographers and their publishers in specially marketed series.
Photographers represented include Félix Bonfils, Kimbei Kusakabe, LaRoche Photo, Achille Mauri, Scowen & Co., J. Pascal Sébah, Sébah & Joaillier, and Giorgio Sommer. Only those images from Hawaii appear to have been made by an amateur photographer.
Locations documented in the collection are Ceylon, Egypt, France, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Turkey, and the United States (Alaska and Hawaii).
With a very few exceptions, images are large-format albumen photographs, mounted on boards. The prints from Japan are also hand-tinted.

Odonate Emergence
|Note: All the photos on this page are thumbnails, and you can click on them to see the full size version.
|Dragonflies and damselflies spend their first several months to several years (depends on latitude and species) after hatching underwater in a larval stage. The larvae are also referred to as nymphs or sometimes as naiads. Below are three examples, from left to right a darner, a skimmer (Tramea), and a damselfly. Note that damselfly larvae are very slender with external gills (in the rectum of dragonfly larvae).
|For more larvae shots,
|When they are ready to emerge, they find a rock or some vegetation to crawl out of the water on to begin the transformation to the adult stage as a dragonfly or damselfly. On 13 May 2004 Marion Dobbs and I watched a Least Clubtail (Stylogomphus albistylus) emerge from Buck Creek in Polk County, NC. Here is a sequence of photos that attempts to document this fascinating and awesome process. Note: Since my digital camera records the time of every frame, I have listed the actual time of each shot before the text to show how long this all took. About one hour and 14 minutes from water to flight...
|11:44. Nymph crawls out onto a rock. If you look closely you can see some tiny red mites on the head.
|11:50. After drying for a few minutes, the skin splits just behind the nymph's eyes and you can see the top of the thorax of the adult starting to push through.
|11:56. The head and thorax of the adult have pushed clear of the nymph's skin.
|11:58. The adult continues to slowly push up, and you can now see legs. The adult is getting larger by pumping air into its new body.
|11:59. You can really see the shriveled beginning of the wings behind the thorax.
|12:00. Still pushing up. The white tubes are breathing tubes from the nymph stage.
|12:07. View from behind.
|12:07. Same time as previous image, wings are starting to grow due to blood being pumped into them.
|12:09:25 After over 10 minutes of pushing up, the body bends forward and the abdomen is pulled out, growing through more air pumped in.
|12:11. The adult stands up for the first time and starts inflating the wings more with blood pressure.
|12:11:49. The wings extend fairly quickly.
|12:13. The wings are almost as long as the still-stubby abdomen. From here both parts grow almost equally.
|12:23. The wings are full size. This has taken about 13 minutes since the abdomen was pulled free of the nymph shell (now called an exuviae). Many species, including this one, can be identified just from the empty exuviae.
|12:26. Now that the abdomen is full size, it is finally lifted off the ground. This whole sequence is very dangerous for the emerging dragonfly, as they are defenseless from predators and subject to wind or rain, either of which might send them back into the river, where they would now drown.
|12:32. The adult spends about 20 minutes pumping water out of the abdomen, you can see a drop about to be expelled from the tip.
|12:54. The wings were folded over the back until an instant before this shot was taken, and then they just snapped to a normal spread position.
|12:54. Same time, from the side. Note the very shiny wings, which identifies this as a very young adult, or "teneral."
|12:58. Just four minutes after the wings are spread, the adult takes its first flight to the safety of nearby vegetation. Not a graceful flight by any means, but after hardening for more time in this safe location it will become a powerful aerial predator.
|A slightly older (in comparison to this one) but still teneral adult Least Clubtail from 25 May 2003. Note that the wings are still very shiny but the colors are getting closer to normal mature adult colors.
|A full adult Least Clubtail from 24 Jun 2003.
|Note that most species of odonates emerge at night since it's safer, but clubtails like this one emerge during the day (lucky for me).
|Here are a few other emergence shots...

9 Food Rules to Help You Lose That Belly Before Summer
If that's something you're interested in.
Having lost the best part of a stone after just three weeks on our 'Amateur to Athlete' experiment with Pete Fraser Fitness, I've already picked up a few lessons on which habits and routine tweaks can help you stay on a diet, and get better results.
Obviously, exercising several times a week is crucial for increasing muscle mass, improving metabolism and changing body shape, but it's your habits in the kitchen that will ultimately decide the level of results you are going to achieve.
My trainer Pete Fraser drew up a calorie-restricted plan that focused on fuelling workouts, eating the right micronutrients but, above all, shifting fat. And here's what I've learned so far:
For anyone researching quick-fix ways to lose weight, myself included, it's easy to think of carbohydrates as the devil, and high-protein as the miracle alternative. However, it's taken my current program to realize that losses in carb-restricted diets tend to be mainly water weight rather than tissue, and that you can still sensibly incorporate the right carbs into your diet every day and still see dramatic results. So ditch the white, processed varieties but keep the good stuff – granary toast or porridge at breakfast, bananas before workouts, brown rice or quinoa at lunch, and then tailing off carbs after 3pm so dinner is just lean protein and veg.
Another diet myth that had conned me before was the idea of eating unlimited proteins from any old sources as long as carbs were low – which meant packing in way too much red meat, bacon and ham than was good for me. This time around the focus is on pushing protein high but keeping it lean – fish, chicken, turkey and egg whites. Benefiting from protein's power for feeding muscles and satisfying appetite but without the high fats and calories.
Get a blackboard or noticeboard in your kitchen and write out a weekly grid with room to write out breakfast, lunch and dinner for each day. Even leave gaps for mid-morning and afternoon snacks if you can. It sounds a bit anal, but without it I would have been lost. It creates a structure around what you're trying to do, helps you look forward to meal-times, and most importantly of all, doesn't leave you opening up the fridge and wondering what you're going to eat. That's when bad things happen.
The first week on a plan like this will be hard as your body adjusts, and you will feel hungry. One way to counter this, especially in the evenings, is to overstock on green vegetables and really fill your plate so you're not relying on a piece of grilled chicken or fish to keep you sated on its own. There are lots of ways to add flavor to veg without spiking calories – broccoli and a splash of soy sauce, spinach with lemon and chili, leeks and carrots with garlic and ginger.
Following on from the last point, it's crucial that you fill your fridge and cupboards with natural flavorings that will make your meals more interesting and even help you feel fuller for longer – take your pick from fresh chillies, chili flakes, garlic, root ginger, coriander, mint, parsley, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, limes and lemons, and a bit of Dijon mustard.
It's almost our automatic response to consider any kind of hunger as terrible and unbearable, and must be ended as quickly as possible, no matter what. In fact, on a diet like this it often doesn't last, is rarely too much to bear, and you can even train yourself to see it as a sign that you are on the right path. This is a hard mental switch but when it comes, it can even help you enjoy meal-times more because you are ready for them.
You can still snack, in fact it's important that you do, just make sure you have the right options at your fingertips. Fill your work drawers with almonds and walnuts and have a small handful each times. Alternatively, try an oat cake with cottage cheese on top, or a handful of berries.
Regular glasses of water are crucial for both keeping you hydrated and so helping to stabilise appetite, but herbal teas have also played a big part by providing regular moments of flavour and structure throughout the day – without any calories.
It's easy to get bored by anything that restricts your lifestyle and spoils your fun, especially if you forget the reasons you decided to start it in the first place. Find ways to introduce prompts and reminders that it'll be worth it in the end, whether it's a different home screen photo on your phone, a quote on the fridge door to stop you snacking, a picture of yourself when you were in better shape, or even that photo of Brad Pitt in Fight Club. After all, there's nothing wrong with aiming high.

See that photo up there? That's what I found on our whiteboard this morning.
*cue sniffles and a bursting heart*
I'll be honest – I don't always feel like I'm quite hitting the parenting nail on the head……….in fact, there are times/days when I would place my self in the "Epic Fail" category, only to whip and chastise myself heavily later on. Usually when the children are in bed, sound asleep, looking most angelic and sweet and peaceful and simply…..perfectly innocent.
So. I walk into my work space this morning and find the most heartfelt, innocent, encouraging and uplifting writing. From a child. A child who is yet to hit double digits. I believe there was a pool at my feet called, "Ju's Heart".
This moment made me reflect on those times that I do get so frustrated, impatient, busy……"Not now," "Later," "In a minute," "Hang on,"………
I hesitated to write this post at first, as the fear of judgement on my parenting wofted across me but then I thought, "Meh!" as I considered how, in many conversations I've had with other parents, some who I personally consider simply fabulous and the "I want to be like them when I grow up" types, I remembered how we all shared our moments and then breathed a collective sigh of relief when we realised, "IT'S NOT JUST ME!!!" …….we might be parents, but we have that common denominator factor…..we're all still human. Emotional beings all doing their very best with the precious unique lives that we've been blessed with.
Being a parent is full on! It often feels that as Mr HunBal and I adapt to and feel like we've worked out one phase, a new one begins and that fun, crazy, nutty, mind-bending roller coaster ride starts up all over again! Whilst we wouldn't change it for the world……we just might seek reprieve from time to time *wink*
Which brings me to a very important point: Consistency in parenting is KEY, for everyone! If you and your partner can parent consistently from the same page……you're already winning! When your minis see unity in your parenting, they experience not just how a Team works but they are offered a sense of security and stability, two key points that are so important and soooo crazy good for their impressionable and precious little hearts and minds.
I might not always hit the target on my parenting abilities but I love that I am not trying to do this parenting thing on my own! I absolutely love that Mr HunBal and I are constantly checking and talking to make sure we are on the same parenting page, heading in the same parenting direction. That there is no confusion for either us or our minis.
So as much as these little moments of discovery can yank at my heart strings, causing me to feel 'blech' for all the times I've booged up, they are also moments of encouragement when it seems that Mr HunBal and I are doing just fine……
So I want to encourage YOU too! Sweet cheeks, you are doing just fine! *hugs* Take a moment to check out those precious, healthy, growing, creative, thinking, chatterboxing, playful sweethearts of yours and see the fabulous thing you're doing by being their parent *more hugs*
Much love,
p.s. and now I can show my mini that I followed her blogging suggestions, hehehe…..

Garlic Knots
Garlic Knots, anyone? Garlic bread is very popular and is often serves with spaghetti dishes. This recipe for garlic knots will make for a delicious snack or perfect bun to accompany certain meals. Garlic is well known to provide health benefits. Now, it is time to have a getting-to-know-you more session with one of the world's famous spices. Garlic, with a scientific name Allium sativum, belongs to the onion genus which is native to central Asia. Onions and chives are its close relatives. It has been used for seven thousand years already. It has been applied as seasoning in Asia, Europe and Africa. For ancient Egyptians, it is used for cooking and medicinal purposes. In culinary, it is used as seasoning or condiment. Its strong and spicy flavor that adds spice to any recipe is widely known. One of the many benefits of garlic is it helps hair growth. If you have hair loss problems, you can rub and squeeze garlic cloves with oil on your scalp. Acne problems? Worry no more! Garlic could be a natural remedy for it. Just rub garlic on the affected area, its antioxidants help kill bacteria. Garlic also helps prevent colds. It boosts the immune system. Just sip garlic tea (minced garlic soaked in hot water). For desirable taste, add honey. If you are trying to lose or control your weight, try adding garlic to your cooking recipe and diet regimen. Athlete's foot can also be treated with garlic. Its anti fungal elements can help get rid of itchiness. Put crushed garlic in a hot water then soak your feet in it. Vampires! Yes, you read that right. Vampires don't like garlic. But I am not talking about vampires that you see in the movies. Mosquitoes, the real blood-sucker, are repelled by the smell of garlic. For people who live in mosquito-prone areas, rub garlic on your skin. You can actually place it anywhere in your house. Amazing garlic, isn't it? For now, to enjoy enhance your immune system, try this healthy and tasty Garlic Knots!
Now it is time for you to enjoy! The link to the recipe is found on the "Cook with Manali" website below.

Make people curious again
The British Museum, founded in 1753, is the first national public museum in the world. Today The British Museum has nearly 6 million visitors a year.
At Amplituda we believe technology is changing the way people learn and museums will follow that change. It's only the matter of time when mobile phones and watches replace legacy audioguide systems. Technology stack is growing rapidly, Estimote offers indoor location solutions based on iBeacon and we've all seen AR concepts like Google Glass, HoloLens or Magic Leap. These technologies allow for experiences incomparable to anything known today and we have absolutely no doubt that this is the future of museums.
Embracing technology has endless advantages but it also carries new challenges. It's important for museums to define how they want to communicate with their visitors via new digital interactions, both visually and acoustically. In order to create unique experience, the communication language should be consistent with museum's brand and vision.

Nanotechnology is defined by The British Standards Institution (BSI) as the: "Design, characterisation, production and application of structures, devices and systems by controlling shape and size in the nanoscale, which covers the size range from approximately 1nm to 100nm." Nanotechnology provides a significant opportunity to address global challenges. This is leading to intense global competition to commercialise different products enabled by nanotechnology.
Nanotechnology is an emerging technology that has been applied to the development of products and processes across many industries particularly over the past ten years. Products are now available in markets ranging from consumer products through medical products to plastics and coatings and electronics products.
As part of a report prepared by the department of Business, Innovation and Skills, the economic impact of nanotechnology was discussed, in which a report from Lux Research published in 2006 was referenced. In this report it was quoted that nanotechnology was incorporated into more than $30 billion in manufactured goods in 2005. Furthermore, projections indicate that by 2014, $2.6 trillion in manufactured goods will incorporate nanotechnology.
It is estimated that the UK accounts for around 5-15% of the global nanotechnology market. Currently, nano-enabled products account for almost 90% for global nanotechnology revenue in 2009. These figures highlight the vast market opportunities there are for nanotechnology and nano-enabled products in future years.

Health & Safety
The safety implications of nanomaterials continues to be a topic of much debate. A number of conflicting articles, publications and press releases have discussed the toxicological effects of nanoparticles on various biological systems. In a recent BASF press release the safety of nanomaterials was discussed. To summarise, "How a nanoparticle behaves in the body is determined by the properties of the substance it consists of. The size of the particles is of secondary importance."
Following the completion of an EU-funded FP7 nanotoxicology project, NanoSustain, the project coordinator discussed the results: "Overall results suggest and confirm the basic assumption that any human toxicity associated with nano-properties or nano-structures may be masked or even eliminated when free nanoparticles become embedded, bound or incorporated in the solid matrix of a product or environmental substrate."
At Promethean Particles, we believe that as part of a responsible research and development process, concerns about environmental, health and safety issues must be considered. For this reason, Promethean Particles is actively involved in other nanotoxicology projects such as FP7 project NanoMILE and H2020 project NanoFASE, which aim to establish a fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of nanomaterial interactions with living systems and the environment.
The benefits of Promethean's technology include:
- All particles are produced in dispersion; not as dry powders. By avoiding dry powders, Promethean avoids the health and safety risks associated with inhaling fine particulates from synthesis through to incorporation into the end product.
- Using our one-step formulation process, we can provide bespoke synthesis of safer-by-design nanomaterials.
Policy & Regulation
Promethean is a corporate member of the Nanotechnologies Industries Association and committed to actively participating in the development of an appropriate regulatory environment and engaging with relevant stakeholders. We also adhere to the Responsible NanoCode.
Although there are no explicit requirements for nanomaterials under REACH or CLP, they meet the regulations' substance definition and therefore the provisions apply. In 2011, the European Commission released a specific recommendation on the definition of a nanomaterial. The recommendation should be used in different European regulations, including REACH and CLP.
REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of CHemicals. The legislation was brought into force on 1st June 2007. "REACH is a regulation of the European Union, adopted to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals, while enhancing the competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry. It also promotes alternative methods for the hazard assessment of substances in order to reduce the number of tests on animals." The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) was set up to implement, regulate and enforce the REACH legislation.
CLP stands for Classification, Labelling and Packing of chemicals. The legislation ensures that the hazards presented by chemicals are clearly communicated to workers and consumers in the European Union.
To find out more about nanomaterials and nanotechnology, the following websites are very informative with regards to potential applications, health & safety, policies and regulations:

Warning: this video contains graphic footage
Bruna Gobbi, an 18-year-old resident of Sao Paulo, was rushed to the Restauracao hospital in Recife, Brazil, after Monday's attack.
"She lost a lot of blood" and died of her injuries after her leg was amputated, said a hospital official who asked not to be named.
Graphic video has emerged of moment that the shark grabbed Ms Gobbi off the coast of Recife. There appears to be a violent struggle in the sea before the water turns red.
The footage also shows Ms Gobbi being dragged to the shore by rescuers and being carried to a waiting ambulance.
"We knew there were risks of a shark attack but I thought this would occur in a deeper sector," the victim's cousin, Daniele Souza, told Globo television.
A total of 58 shark attacks, 28 of them fatal, have been reported over the past 21 years in Recife, one the most popular seaside resorts in the northeastern state of Pernambuco, according to a state agency that has been tracking shark attacks since 1922.

Those who are saying that the price is expensive, u think that you should check the site, chose a selection that you want and sort it for the price to be low to high. The ones that Alisha got were expensive and she could afford it. But there are also cute and awesome clothes for lower price points.

The graph above shows the high and low temperatures we experienced in all 389 days we have lived in our Airstream, along with our average daily propane consumption.
Temperatures are plotted against the left hand axis. Propane consumption against the right hand axis.
The lowest temperature we experienced was on February 5th, 2014, in Colorado. The high that day was 0F, the low was -14F.
We experienced four days with lows below 0F, and 45 days with lows of 20F or lower. On 19 days the high did not get above 30F.
At the other extreme, the highest temperature we experienced was 100F, which was reached on three days in August, all in Kansas. On 34 days the temperature reached 90F or higher.
Propane consumption correlates to cold, as you would expect. The daily averages obviously aren't precise – they are simply the refill amounts divided by the time between last refill.
Our average propane consumption has been 0.47 gallons per day. In the coldest part of the year we consumed about 2.4 gallons per day and in the hottest part about 0.25 gallons a day (cooking). So, when it's very cold we go through propane ten times as fast as when it's hot. This is entirely due to running the furnace.
Weather is a big deal in an Airstream. The weather category is the largest on this blog, with 21 entries including this one. This data shows that fairly difficult weather can be survived without damage.
The raw dataset can be found here.

Street signs in North Fort Worth are getting a face-lift.
Molly the Longhorn is being added right beside the green rectangular street signs to remind people in the growing north end that they are in Cowtown and not other cities such as Keller or Saginaw.
"I think it's important that folks that live in that area have a sense of community in Fort Worth," Councilman Sal Espino. "I think it instills a sense of Fort Worth pride and Fort Worth community."
The latest news from around North Texas.
The 20 up so far are part of a pilot program. Each sign costs either $75 or $250 -- $75 for the Molly the Longhorn logo itself or $250 for the logo and a street sign for unmarked intersections.
Russ Fuller, of the North Fort Worth Alliance, said people like the reminder.
"In fact, I even had one say, 'Gee, I didn't even know that I lived in Fort Worth," Fuller said.
The city could decide to put 2,200 more all over Fort Worth in the next 10 years. The price tag for that many $75 Molly the Longhorn signs would be $165,000.
"It's a small price to pay for the branding and identity," Espino said.
The pilot program is run by the city's Department of Transportation and Public Works, but the city would need council approval if it ever wanted to step up to 2,200 signs.
