  Man’s best friend is not welcome in Iran

  
  Lawmakers in Iran are trying to ban the public appearance of dogs. The conservative-dominated Parliament is pushing this due to dogs’ ”uncleanness” and the desire to combat “a blind imitation of vulgar Western culture.”

  Under this proposed bill, dog owners will be fined $500 and the dogs will be taken away by the police. However, the dogs are already being taken away from their families. What happens next to the dogs is unclear.
  

  Here’s a petition on Avaaz aimed at UN Iranian Ambassador Mohamed Kazahee.

  The bad news is you’re falling through the air,
  nothing to hang on to, no parachute.
  The good news is there’s no ground.

  Researchers at Oxford University could be on the verge of a medical breakthrough in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease

  The therapy, called transcranial alternating current stimulation, or TACS, uses a safe electric current applied through electrodes to the outside of the patient’s head to cancel out the signal causing the tremors.

  The preliminary study, carried out on 15 people with Parkinson’s disease at Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital, has shown a 50% reduction in resting tremors. Previously the tremors, which have demonstrated a poor response to drug treatments, could be managed through invasive surgery that saw the insertion of electrodes into the brain to deliver electrical impulses, but this technique carries health risks and is not suitable for all patients.
