Donald Trump unexpectedly suspended ―war games‖ on the Korean peninsula yesterday as he convinced Kim Jong-un to back ―complete denuclearisation‖ in a written agreement. The US has been carrying out joint military exercises for years in the region as a signal of its military alliance with Seoul (South Korea), and as a show of strength against North Korean aggression.

The US president said in a press conference after the Singapore summit: "It is a very great day, it is a very great moment, in the history of the world." He predicted Kim would start denuclearise "very quickly" and revealed that the North Korean leader had already agreed to destroy a missile engine testing site. 

The climax of Mr Trump‘s meeting with Kim — the first between a sitting North Korean and American leader — was the signing of a joint agreement. The 400-word statement followed more than four hours of talks, first between the leaders one-on-one and then with a wider group of advisers. 

It read:"President Trump and Chairman Kim Jong-un conducted a comprehensive, in-depth, and sincere exchange of opinions on the issues related to the establishment of new United States - North Korea relations and the building of a lasting and robust peace regime on the Korean Peninsula. 

The statement went on to list four specific pledges that both Mr Trump and Kim agreed to stand by: The first was that both countries would establish ―new relations‖ in the pursuit of ―peace and prosperity" — an attempt to draw a line under the insults and threats of last year. The second said that America and North Korea would "join their efforts to build a lasting and stable peace regime on the Korean Peninsula‖. The third said that Kim‘s regime ―commits to work toward complete denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula" — a key demand from the Americans. And the fourth promised that the remains of fallen US soldiers who died fighting in the Korean War would be repatriated to the United States.

Mr Trump said he "absolutely" would invite Kim to the White House and expressed enthusiasm for visiting North Korea, but said no dates had been set. Mr Trump also praised the leaders of Japan, South Korea and China as well as Kim himself for the progress made on the issue of denuclearisation.

    Need help remembering what you've just studied? Head to your kitchen. Research suggests certain foods are good for the brain and may boost your memory. Along with getting enough sleep and developing other healthy habits, eating brain foods can be an effective study aid.

    Eggs: Eggs are good for your memory because they are a good source of protein, a nutrient that helps you concentrate, according to registered dietitian Elisa Zied, author of “Nutrition at Your Fingertips.” Eggs also contain choline, a precursor to a neurotransmitter needed for good memory.

    Cereal: Cereal provides carbohydrates, which help you remember what you studied by boosting your mental energy. Carbs turn into glucose, a sugar your brain needs to think clearly. Cereals with whole grains also provide B vitamins, nutrients the nerves in your brain need to communicate, Zied says.

    Fish: Salmon, tuna and other varieties of oily fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, also known as polyunsaturated fatty acids. A symptom for someone low in omega-3s is poor memory. In addition to omega3 fatty acids, fish contains vitamin B-12, which is important for good memory, according to the NIH’s Office of Dietary Supplements.

    Getting a good night’s sleep and eating a healthy breakfast will also help you remember what you studied. Research shows eating breakfast improves attention and boosts academic achievement. Additionally, keeping your cholesterol and blood pressure in check and avoiding smoking will help your brain health and may sharpen your memory, according to an article by nutritionist Joy Bauer on NBCNews.com.

Originally, people had rights only because of their membership in a group, such as a family. Then, in 539 BC, Cyrus the Great, after conquering the city of Babylon, did something totally unexpected—he freed all slaves to return home. Moreover, he declared people should choose their own religion. The Cyrus Cylinder, a clay tablet containing his statements, is the first human rights declaration in history.

The idea of human rights spread quickly to India, Greece and eventually Rome. The most important advances since then have included:

1215: The Magna Carta - gave people new rights and made the king subject to the law.

1628: The Petition of Right - set out the rights of the people.

1776: The United States Declaration of Independence - proclaimed the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

1789: The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen - a document of France, stating that all citizens are equal under the law.

1948: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights - the first document listing the 30 rights to which everyone is entitled.

While some dictionaries define the word right as ―a privilege,‖ when used in the context of ―human rights,‖ we are talking about something more basic.

Every person is entitled to certain fundamental rights, simply by the fact of being human. These are called ―human rights‖ rather than a privilege (which can be taken away at someone’s whim).

They are "rights" because they are things you are allowed to be, to do or to have. These rights are there for your protection against people who might want to harm or hurt you.They are also there to help us get along with each other and live in peace.

Many people know something about their rights. Generally they know they have the right to food and a safe place to stay.They know they have a right to be paid for the work they do. But there are many other rights.

When human rights are not well known by people, abuses such as discrimination, intolerance, injustice, oppression and slavery can arise.

Born out of the atrocities and enormous loss of life during World War II, the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed in 1948 to provide a common understanding of what everyone’s rights are. It forms the basis for a world built on freedom, justice and peace.

CITIES DRIVE ANIMALS AND PLANTS TO EVOLVE

    Ever seen a raccoon open a trash can in search of leftovers? Or walk across power lines to get from one rooftop to another? If so, you've witnessed an animal adapting its behavior to city life. That's been going on since people started building cities thousands of years ago. Now, biologists are seeing signs that animals and plants are also adapting in a more basic way to survive in cities. Their genes are changing.

     Genes are segments of DNA that influence how an organism looks and functions. An animal or plant’s DNA is like an instruction book for how it develops and grows. Some instructions guide its reproductive habits. Others influence the way it moves. Still others might let it withstand poison. Urban pollution, traffic and shrinking wild spaces have been causing changes in these genetic instructions. And scientists have been tracking more and more signs of these genetic changes.

    When genes change in response to their environment, it’s called evolution. Some of those changes may leave animals and plants better suited to their homes. It may offer new traits that increase the odds of surviving long enough to reproduce. This means the individuals will pass on these new traits to their offspring. Eventually, traits that had once been rare can now become common throughout a population.
