MOUNT BENTAL, Golan Heights – As Syrian regime forces clash with rebels close to the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights, this windswept plateau has become a front-row seat to Syria’s escalating civil war. Curious Israelis and foreign tourists toting binoculars have been drawn to the area to try to get a glimpse of the fighting, even as others sit in a cafe overlooking the Syrian frontier area, sipping from tiny cups of espresso and frosty glasses of beer. The thud of exploding mortar shells and smoke billowing from Syrian territory below have drawn Israelis to lookouts along the suddenly tense frontier, including this spot on Mount Bental — a former Syrian army post that Israel seized when it captured the strategic plateau from Syria in 1967. The deteriorating situation in Syria has become a mounting concern for Israel, which fears the unrest will spill over the border, and the long-quiet frontier area will become a new Islamist front against the Jewish state. Meir Elakry, an off-duty Israeli security guard who lives just 10 miles from the Syrian border, said he was afraid Syrian President Bashar Assad would become desperate and turn his guns on Israel. “I want to know what the danger is to my house,” said Elakry, clutching a pair of binoculars. “I don’t believe Assad will be quiet if he falls.” Warfare in Syria’s biggest city ragesOfficial: 순천출장마사지 Israel...

If you tend to keep to a regular sleep schedule during the week, but then turn into a late-night party animal on the weekends, you may be risking your health, new research suggests. Sleep experts call this sleep pattern “social jet lag,” a mismatch between your body’s biological clock and your actual sleep pattern due to social activities. In the new study, researchers found the pattern is linked with heart disease, depression and other problems. The researchers evaluated nearly 1,000 adults, ages 22 to 60, asking about their sleep duration and sleep quality on weekdays and weekends. They also asked about any insomnia and about their general health. “With social jet lag, you are more likely to have heart disease, to feel fatigued, to feel tired and to have a worse mood,” said study lead author Sierra Forbush, a research assistant at the University of Arizona. With every one hour that sleep is shifted, the researchers found, you are about 11 percent more likely to have heart disease, as diagnosed by a doctor, the study found. Each one-hour shift was also linked with a 28 percent higher likelihood of people reporting their health as poor or fair compared to excellent. Those with social jet lag were also more likely to be in worse moods and to be sleepier and 대구출장샵 more fatigued. Even when Forbush and her associates took...

(CBS News) A major battle is shaping up for Syria’s largest city. Aleppo is about the size of Los Angeles, and part of it is held by rebels trying to overthrow the 42-year-old dictatorship of Bashar al-Assad. Assad is trying to crush the rebellion which began nearly a year and a half ago. CBS News correspondent Elizabeth Palmer reports Syrian helicopters flew over Aleppo Wednesday, but according to activists, they were not shooting, just spotting the positions of rebel fighters on the ground for the next assault. A Free Syrian Army commander made a bold claim: “We have captured half the city.” But how long can they hold on in these neighborhoods? They’re equipped for street-by-street fighting, guerrilla-style, though no match for air power or the regime’s heavy artillery, which is already on its way. The fight for Aleppo will be fierce. It’s a strategic prize. If the rebels take it — on top of town of Azaz, 부여콜걸 which they won earlier this week — the area would form the first Free Syrian Army-controlled zone, all the way to the Turkish border. The United Nations and the international community are still calling for dialogue in Syria, but dialogue has been drowned out by the din of war. Civilian casualties — like victims of shelling — are just hoping to survive, and the armed men on both sides are...
