1. There were once five-and-twenty tin soldiers, who were all brothers, for they had been made out of the same old tin spoon. They shouldered arms and looked straight before them, and wore a splendid uniform, red and blue. The first thing in the world they ever heard were the words, "Tin soldiers!" uttered by a little boy, who clapped his hands with delight when the lid of the box, in which they lay, was taken off. They were given him for a birthday present, and he stood at the table to set them up. The soldiers were all exactly alike, excepting one, who had only one leg; he had been left to the last, and then there was not enough of the melted tin to finish him, so they made him to stand firmly on one leg, and this caused him to be very remarkable.

2. What can we do to have a healthy circulatory system? Don't smoke! ...Take vitamin E to keep the arteries supple. Eat those fresh vegetables and fruit that supply you with antioxidants – very good for your heart. Eat fish instead of red meat – much better for your heart.

3. First identified in the 1950s, dengue is spread by the female Aedes aegypti mosquito; the first documented cases were in the Philippines and Thailand. The disease has since struck worldwide, with over 100 countries at risk and 390 million infections yearly. It takes 4-10 days to become obvious, with a high fever and flu-like symptoms. (But that‘s exactly what it‘s not. It‘s important not to mistake it for the common flu.) It does not have a cure. The only thing to be done is to maintain the patient‘s bodily fluids until the disease runs its course. It‘s crucial that dengue be detected early, as the proper medical attention can lower mortality from 20 percent to just under 1 percent. Left unchecked or identified, dengue kills.

4. True!-nervous--very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am! but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses--not destroyed--not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily-how calmly I can tell you the whole story.

5. Arroyo, who was recently re-elected to a third term as Pampanga representative, received her release papers from the Sandiganbayan after the high tribunal‘s ruling was released earlier in the day saying the antigraft court erred in its findings that the former President personally benefited from intelligence funds of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO).

6. Dengue cases rise by 36% nationwide, says DOH. For 39-year-old housewife Maribel, the rainy season used to bring happy memories of her childhood as she and her siblings would frolic in the heavy downpour. But not anymore. Not since a year ago when she almost lost her 8-year-old daughter to dengue hemorrhagic fever, the more severe form of dengue fever, a viral infection transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito.

7. I was sick, sick unto death, with that long agony, and when they at length unbound me, and I was permitted to sit, I felt that my senses were leaving me. The sentence, the dread sentence of death, was the last of distinct accentuation which reached my ears. After that, the sound of the inquisitorial voices seemed merged in one dreamy indeterminate hum.

8. Nicotine is one of the most harmful and widely available legal drugs in the world. It's addictive and harmful both to smokers and the people passively exposed to smoke, especially children. If you'd like to give up smoking, but don't know where to begin, create a structured plan.

9. President Duterte on Thursday appealed for an end to violence, ahead of his first address to Congress in which he said he would call for an end to conflicts. ―I don‘t see anything good coming out of this war. For the sake of our children, we have to stop this war,‖ the President told a gathering of government troops, policemen, people displaced by conflict and local officials. It was Mr. Duterte‘s first visit to a province in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) since assuming the presidency on June 30.

How to keep your hair healthy? Wash your hair two to three times a week. Avoid hot showers. Shampoo your scalp, not your roots. Towel-dry your hair before applying conditioner.
