The study, which followed more than 46,000 British women over a 40 year span, suggests that while there’s an initial increase in certain health risks when using the pill, that didn’t necessarily remain the case over the long term

The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), North Korea’s state-run (and only) news agency, sporadically releases photos of reclusive 69-year-old leader Kim Jong-il as he makes “on-the-spot” guidance visits. Kim Jong-il, continuing a practice begun by his father, Kim Il-sung, makes these visits to factories and facilities throughout the country, purportedly to offer his personal guidance. Followed by army officers, security personnel and plant managers – most carrying pencils and notepads to record the guidance of “Dear Leader” – he examines, listens, gives a talk, poses, then moves on, entourage in tow.
