FIFA World Cup

FIFA World Cup, often called the World Cup course, is an international football competition, followed by the senior men's national team members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the governing body of world football. This championship has been held every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946, were not held due to World War II. The current World Cup champions are Spain, who won the 2010 tournament in South Africa.

The current format of the tournament was attended by 32 teams competing for the title in a gym in the host country in about a month; This stage is often called the World Cup Finals. Qualification phase, which currently held within three years before the World Cup, was held to determine which team will qualify for the tournament, along with the host country.

19 World Cup tournaments have been won by eight different national teams. Brazil has won the World Cup five times, and is the only team that regularly follow each tournament. Another World Cup champions Italy, with four titles; West Germany with three titles; Argentina and Uruguay, with two titles; as well as English, French, and Spanish with one title each.

World Cup competitions are one of the most widely watched sport in the world, surpassing even the Olympics; an estimated 715.1 million people worldwide watched the final match of the 2006 FIFA World Cup held in Germany. Two of the next World Cup will be held in Russia in 2018 and in Qatar in 2022.

Global Warming

Global warming is the unequivocal and continuing rise in the average temperature of Earth's climate system. Since 1971, 90% of the warming has occurred in the oceans. Despite the oceans' dominant role in energy storage, the term "global warming" is also used to refer to increases in average temperature of the air and sea at Earth's surface. Since the early 20th century, the global air and sea surface temperature has increased about 0.8 °C (1.4 °F), with about two-thirds of the increase occurring since 1980. Each of the last three decades has been successively warmer at the Earth's surface than any preceding decade since 1850.

Scientific understanding of the cause of global warming has been increasing. In its fourth assessment (AR4 2007) of the relevant scientific literature, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reported that scientists were more than 90% certain that most of global warming was being caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases produced by human activities. In 2010 that finding was recognized by the national science academies of all major industrialized nations. Affirming these findings in 2013, the IPCC stated that the largest driver of global warming is carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from fossil fuel combustion, cement production, and land use changes such as deforestation. Its 2013 report states

Climate model projections were summarized in the 2007 Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). They indicated that during the 21st century the global surface temperature is likely to rise a further 1.1 to 2.9 °C (2.0 to 5.2 °F) for their lowest emissions scenario and 2.4 to 6.4 °C (4.3 to 11.5 °F) for their highest. The ranges of these estimates arise from the use of models with differing sensitivity to greenhouse gas concentrations.

Future climate change and associated impacts will vary from region to region around the globe. The effects of an increase in global temperature include a rise in sea levels and a change in the amount and pattern of precipitation, as well as a probable expansion of subtropical deserts. Warming is expected to be strongest in the Arctic, with the continuing retreat of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice. Other likely effects of the warming include more frequent extreme weather events including heat waves, droughts and heavy rainfall; ocean acidification; and species extinctions due to shifting temperature regimes. Effects significant to humans include the threat to food security from decreasing crop yields and the loss of habitat from inundation.

Proposed policy responses to global warming include mitigation by emissions reduction, adaptation to its effects, building systems resilient to its effects, and possible future climate engineering. Most countries are parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), whose ultimate objective is to prevent dangerous anthropogenic (i.e., human-induced) climate change. Parties to the UNFCCC have adopted a range of policies designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to assist in adaptation to global warming. Parties to the UNFCCC have agreed that deep cuts in emissions are required, and that future global warming should be limited to below 2.0 °C (3.6 °F) relative to the pre-industrial level. Reports published in 2011 by the United Nations Environment Programme and the International Energy Agency^[31] suggest that efforts as of the early 21st century to reduce emissions may be inadequate to meet the UNFCCC's 2 °C target.

Benefits of Chocolate

Though not entirely rumors circulating about the true chocolate, because it turns out this chocolate has a number of benefits for the human body. This chocolate benefits can be obtained with the exception consumed within reasonable limits, in the sense not excessive. One of the benefits chocolate for health are able to control blood pressure and cholesterol as well as in chocolate contains compounds that function calming nervous tension.

The person who consumes this chocolate will tend to be more relaxed, casual so it will impact on the health of the human body. In addition, the benefits of eating chocolate can also control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Maybe you will wonder how the sweet taste of chocolate will lower blood sugar levels, while those who have diabetes should lower blood glucose.

You do not wince once, because chocolate is used for treating diabetes are type of dark chocolate or dark chocolate that has a bitter taste, not a chocolate bar that is frequently advertised on television with a sweet taste variants. The workings of this dark chocolate to lower blood sugar by neutralizing blood sugar with a bitter taste.

Side Effects of Drinking Tea

Usually most loyal friends are drinking tea eating, either iced tea or hot tea. But do we know the side effects of drinking tea after eating?

 
Drinking tea at least an hour before or after meals will reduce the absorption of iron to the blood cells by 64%. Reduction due to the absorption of this tea is higher than the same result caused by drinking a cup of coffee after a meal. Coffee reduces the absorption of only 39%.

Reduction in iron absorption was caused by substances in tea tannins. In addition it contains tannin, tea also contains caffeine, polyphenols, albumin, and vitamins. Tannins can affect the absorption of iron from food, especially in the category of non-heme iron, such as whole grains, vegetables, and nuts.

According to Drs. Soegih Rachmad, a nutritionist from Cipto Mangunkusumo, substance itself does tannins inhibit the production of hemoglobin. If you really want to avoid tea and get a lot of iron, tea should be replaced peneman juice as a meal.

"Eating rice with orange pecel increase iron absorption when compared with an iced tea"

Why? Vitamin C turns out to increase iron absorption by the body.

Does this fact make a cup of tea should be "forbidden" at all? Do not be mistaken. You see, tea contains other substances that function positively.

There is a proper cup of tea tips, so this drink does not inhibit the production of iron in the blood cells:

* Tea will have an effect both for the body when consumed in the morning and afternoon, along with carbohydrates and proteins, such as bread and biscuits.

* Another Tip, give pause to drink tea after a meal, for example, two hours after eating.

Pause was necessary because the time span is estimated to be enough for the intestine 12 fingers and upper small intestine for absorption makanan.Jadi process, one should not sipping tea at any time, as long as no after eating.
