Dead birds & fish giving a scare to the residents

4,000-5,000 blackbirds plummeted to their deaths in front of Beebe's residents dropping from the sky whom of which researchers believe to be due to trauma.

Not only that, but 100 miles west of Beebe 100,000 drum fish have been found dead and
floating in the Arkansas river. Strange enough, out of the 100,000 the only species in the river that died are the drum fish.

As China's obsession with plastic surgery grows, so too do the pitfalls

A simple nip and tuck lead to another nip and another tuck, and another and another. Many repairs are made
from the last procedure that has been botched over and over again. Throughout a course of about 12 years
one--if that dedicated--can go through 170 to 180 different operations (that still dont seem to work!).

24 year old singer, Wang Bei, died in the operating room in China's central Hubei province while undergoing a facelift highlighting the problems of China's plastic surgery. As plastic surgery has spiked up an obsession among its residents--3 million people underwent plastic surgery in china. However, China ranks 3rd in the world (behind the US and Brazil) for the number of plastic surgery performed.

However, the plastic surgery isn't good as the effects were pretty horrible and left many scars. Advice? Don't get plastic surgery, its a never ending cycle!
