Several hours into the flight, which was coming from Tokyo, a man stood up and stated he had poisoned the passengers, an FBI spokesman told media outlets.

Airline officials decided to stay on course to Newark rather than land immediately.
Authorities have not yet said what poison the man claimed he used, or how it could have been distributed throughout the plane. ]]> Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:43:19 MST ironman World News 7 http://timesfeed.com/worldnews/man-claims-he-poisoned-plane-full-of-passengers-1/ http://timesfeed.com/worldnews/brazil-protests-over-world-cup-costs-spread-nationwide-/
Tens of thousands of people marched in Brazil’s biggest cities on Monday night as protests against a rise in the cost of public transport and the huge sums being spent to host the 2014 FIFA World Cup spread across the South American country.

As many as 6,000 people took to the streets of Rio de Janeiro for what were largely peaceful gatherings. However, police used tear gas and rubber bullets when a group of protesters invaded the state legislative assembly and threw rocks. ]]> Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:36:27 MST internetjesus World News 6 http://timesfeed.com/worldnews/brazil-protests-over-world-cup-costs-spread-nationwide-/ http://timesfeed.com/India/an-indian-community-where-women-are-prostituted-by-their-husbands/ Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:20:19 MST lostgirl India 8 http://timesfeed.com/India/an-indian-community-where-women-are-prostituted-by-their-husbands/ http://timesfeed.com/business/standard-chartered-hsbc-officials-caught-offering-to-launder-money/ Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:02:24 MST batman Business 8 http://timesfeed.com/business/standard-chartered-hsbc-officials-caught-offering-to-launder-money/ http://timesfeed.com/offbeatfeed/china-hair-stockings-may-help-scare-off-perverts-everyone/ ]]> Tue, 18 Jun 2013 10:21:05 MST stupidindian Offbeat Feed 9 http://timesfeed.com/offbeatfeed/china-hair-stockings-may-help-scare-off-perverts-everyone/ http://timesfeed.com/India/sex-workers-sons-need-rs-75000-to-represent-india-at-homeless-world-cup/

The buffalo again started attacking villagers and the policemen this morning when they were conducting inquest in connection with the farmer's death, a police official said. In order to prevent any untoward incident, police fired five rounds at the buffalo and killed it, the official said.

#1.DREAM LOGIC IS NEUROLOGICALLY LOGICAL:Your brain’s activity looks very different when you’re asleep, which sheds some light on the nature of dreams. For starters, your primary visual cortex is out of commission during sleep (because your eyes are closed), but your secondary visual cortex (which normally interprets outside visual stimuli) is still going at it, trying to make sense of the images the rest of your brain is conjuring up.

#2.YOU ALSO DREAM DURING “NON-REM” SLEEP:By now everyone knows that we categorize human sleep in five stages: some deep stages with boring number-names, and REM, famously responsible for dream time. Au contraire! More recent research indicates that dreaming also occurs during non-REM sleep (slyly abbreviated as NREM). REM sleep is the stage closest to waking, though, so you’re more likely to remember REM dreams than those in NREM.

On August 22, 2012, dna carried a piece — “India should challenge the West and offer Assange asylum” — setting out why India should be the refuge of choice for the persecuted founder of WikiLeaks, and that it would be natural for India to provide him political and diplomatic protection.

At that time the author of the commentary had no inkling that Julian Assange had, indeed, approached our high commission (HC) in London with a request for asylum. Sometime after the dna piece, a senior Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) official referred to it and asked me, “What have you heard?”

Only now, some 10 months later, the penny dropped: dna being the only paper to carry such a piece, the official was probing whether, or how, I knew of Assange’s request. But, I had no clue. ]]> Tue, 18 Jun 2013 00:37:42 MST internetjesus India 12 http://timesfeed.com/India/if-india-had-offered-asylum-to-julian-assange/ http://timesfeed.com/India/couples-who-have-premarital-sex-will-be-considered-married/
The court said that if a bachelor has completed 21 years of age and an unmarried woman 18 years, they have acquired the freedom of choice guaranteed by the Constitution. “Consequently, if any couple choose to consummate their sexual cravings, then that act becomes a total commitment with adherence to all consequences that may follow, except on certain exceptional considerations.”

The court said marriage formalities as per various religious customs such as the tying of a mangalsutra, the exchange of garlands and rings or the registering of a marriage were only to comply with religious customs for the satisfaction of society. ]]> Tue, 18 Jun 2013 00:25:41 MST internetjesus India 11 http://timesfeed.com/India/couples-who-have-premarital-sex-will-be-considered-married/ http://timesfeed.com/scienceandtechnology/naga-king-chilli-of-indias-northeast-the-science-behind-the-worlds-hottest-peppers/
Such is the perplexing contradiction of the genus Capsicum: condiment and industrial solvent, pleasure and pain. I’ve come to Nagaland to confront the conundrum on its home turf at the annual all-tribe get-together, the Hornbill Festival, which includes a Naga King Chili-Eating Competition.

The last known head-taking raid occurred sometime in the last century. (The verb “taking” is preferred over hunting. You do not hunt heads. You hunt people and then take their heads.) Most Nagas are Baptists now. Nonetheless, they appear to have pride in their gruesome heritage. A crossbeam on the front of the Chang exhibit building on the festival grounds is decorated with a row of cephalic bas-reliefs; lest anyone mistake them for family portraiture, the neck stalks drip red.

Yet many companies, put off by the country’s chaos and adversity, are redirecting their efforts and investments elsewhere. It’s hard to build a global business in India, and much of the success or failure hinges on getting the right leaders in place who can tackle the country’s unique challenges—the first being the structure of the market. ]]> Mon, 17 Jun 2013 12:58:37 MST lublina Business 15 http://timesfeed.com/business/why-it%E2%80%99s-so-hard-to-be-a-business-leader-in-india/ http://timesfeed.com/scienceandtechnology/google-says-immortality-within-near-future/ Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:57:12 MST stupidindian Sci - Tech 14 http://timesfeed.com/scienceandtechnology/google-says-immortality-within-near-future/
