Wild monkeys injure 26 in attacks

A group of wild monkeys attacked passers-by in a Japanese seaside town, injuring 26 people, a town official said Tuesday. The monkeys appeared in gardens and streets, biting people in the back and legs. Local authorities using loudspeakers warned residents to beware of the monkeys as the town organised a hunt for them. "We have to move fast to do something about these monkeys because the people here are scared to death," the official said. The injuries were slight and all of the victims received injections for rabies. The wave of attacks by a group of six monkeys occurred between Sunday morning and Monday evening in the central Japanese town of Ito. "This is the first time this has ever happened and we're not sure why it happened," the official said. "We've had a lot of snow in the mountains the past couple of weeks so maybe the monkeys were looking for food below."

New tests reveal drinking could stop women becoming pregnant

Women should stop drinking if they want to become pregnant.Just one or two units of alcohol a week - one unit is the equivalent of a glass of wine - could affect a woman's fertility.The research was carried out by doctors at the National University Hospital in the Danish capital, Copenhagen, and its findings are published in the British Medical Journal, The Express reported.Study leader, Dr Tina Kold Jensen, said: 'It has been known for some time that large amounts of alcohol affect women trying to conceive.'But this is the first study to show that even women who drink quite low levels of alcohol are affected.'The team studied 430 couples who were trying to conceive, asking about their drinking habits at monthly intervals.It found that women drinking between one to five units of alcohol a week could harm their chances of becoming pregnant by a third. More than 10 drinks a week could reduce it by up to two-thirds.The amount potential fathers drank did not appear to have any impact. The Department of Health - which recommends women should drink no more than two or three units a day - said the findings would be looked at closely.And Tim Hedgeley, from infertility association Issue, said: 'We usually urge couples to drink moderately but do not indicate any particular level.'We may now.'

The mistakes in the letter are between ***

Dear Mary,

We are having a very interesting holiday here. We decided to come now because there are***not too many tourists*** here at this time of the year.

We were hoping to have a peaceful time, but on our way here a bomb was found ***on the plane,*** so we had to land at Tenerife instead of Las Palmas.Luckily everything went well and we could get ready for take-off after ***a few minutes***. The weather was ***beautiful***, and our captain told us that we would be the ***first*** plane to leave Tenerife.

Unfortunately, another plane crashed into our ***left wing***, and we couldn't take off. Jane and me were lucky ***not to get hurt*** when a lot of people died and several others were injured.

Anyway, everything is OK now. I hope you are all well.

See you soon,

Love,

Peter
