Ask Well: Is Watermelon Good for You?

Ask Well: Is Watermelon Good for You? Watermelon is rich in nutrients – including vitamins A and C, B vitamins and potassium — but where it really packs a punch is with lycopene, the antioxidant pigment that gives the fruit its deep red color. Some studies suggest that lycopene may have cardiovascular benefits, including a reduced risk of stroke, and eating watermelon may slightly lower blood pressure. Researchers have also looked at lycopene's possible role in protecting against various cancers, though evidence is scant.

Angry Mob Cut Off Rapist’s Penis With Meat Cleaver (VIEWER DISCRETION)

An Indian man had his penis cut off with a meat cleaver by a vigilante group, after attempting to rape a teenage girl. The 40-year-old rapist, Suresh Kumar, was beaten with sticks for about an hour before his genitals was cut off. The incident occurred in the city of Ganganagar, where Kumar was left bleeding as his penis and testicles lay on the road next to him. An eyewitness, Aamir Dhawan, who was at the scene, said people were reluctant to help the rapist, after seeing that his private parts had been cut off. He said, “No one went to help the man because they could see his penis on the ground and knew this was punishment for a sex crime. We have had a lot of intolerable offences against women in this country recently, with girls being raped, hung, and molested, and it’s time it stopped. This sends out a very strong message to anyone like that – if you do it you will be punished.”

Burkina Faso attack demonstrates al Qaeda revival in Africa

(CNN) Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, often seen as a fractured and undisciplined group, apparently has carried out its second major terror attack in two months -- claiming more than 20 lives in the assault on a luxury hotel and two other targets in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso. The gun attack on the Splendid Hotel bears many similarities to that on the Radisson Blu hotel in Bamako, Mali, on November 20 in which 22 people were killed. Both targets were popular with Westerners and international (especially U.N). officials; they were "soft," rather than military installations or police stations.
