SINGAPORE: The bare and sandy seabed around Sisters’ Island may soon be teeming with marine life, with the installation of a reef structure on Thursday (Nov 8). The 10m-high concrete and fibreglass structure will act as “artificial reefs” for marine flora and fauna to colonise. Its bumpy surface, made from recycled stone fragments, will help encrusting organisms such as barnacles or shellfish to attach themselves and grow. The fibreglass pipes will also increase sheltered areas for fishes. This is the first of eight structures that will be lowered onto the seabed to create Singapore’s largest artificial reef habitat, in a collaboration between government agencies JTC and National Parks Board (NParks).

This will allow a variety of marine life … [Read more...] about Artificial reef installed to help marine life thrive around Sisters’ Islands

A RUSSIAN bodybuilder dubbed 'Popeye' has undergone life-saving surgery to remove rotting flesh from his arms after he injected them with oil. Kirill Tereshin, 24, faced his second round of surgery to clear his clogged-up triceps, removing the dead muscle and draining his arms of excess fluid caused by the substance.

The former soldier admitted his health woes were "due to my own stupidity" after he started bulking up his arms at age 20. Tereshin, from the city of Pyatigorsk in the Russian region of Stavropol Krai, had the corrective surgery delayed by nearly a year due to the coronavirus pandemic. "I'm only 24, and my immune system is so far coping with this inflammation, but I really do not know what will happen next," he said. "That is why I started the … [Read more...] about Russian ‘Popeye’ who injected triceps with OIL has life-saving surgery to remove ‘rotting’ fake muscles
