Katy Perry attends 'breast cancer fundraiser gala' as ambassador

<p>Tennis superstar Serena Williams caused an internet sensation Sunday by posing topless for a video while singing "I Touch Myself" to raise awareness for breast cancer.</p>

<p>In the Instagram video, Williams covers her breasts with her hands while singing a version of Australian band The Divinyls' 1991 hit in support of Breast Cancer Network Australia.</p>

<p>"This Breast Cancer Awareness Month I've recorded a version of The Divinyls global hit 'I Touch Myself' to remind women to self-check regularly," wrote Williams on the post.</p>

<p>"Yes, this put me out of my comfort zone, but I wanted to do it because it's an issue that affects all women of all colors, all around the world. Early detection is key -- it saves so many lives."</p>

<p>The song was co-written by Divinyls Australian vocalist Chrissy Amphlett who died of breast cancer five years ago aged 53. &nbsp;</p>

<p>"The music video is part of the I Touch Myself Project which was created in honor of celebrated diva, Chrissy Amphlett, who passed away from breast cancer, and who gave us her hit song to remind women to put their health first," said the 23-time Grand Slam champion.</p>

<p>The video was viewed more than 1.3 million times in the first 10 hours after it was posted early Sunday with fans lauding the tennis superstar for her bravery in performing the song.</p>

<p>"Amazing Serena, important message and such a beautiful voice!" wrote one under the username deedpaula.</p>

<p>Another alshaze47 commented: "This is powerful!! I'm a Breast cancer survivor!!"</p>

<p>The video appeared less than three weeks after her tempestuous US Open final defeat to Naomi Osaka, where Williams smashed a racquet and accused an umpire of sexism.</p>

<p>Williams, who celebrated her 37th birthday four days ago, pulled out of this week's China Open in Beijing to bring a premature end to her 2018 season, her first back on tour since giving birth to a daughter a year ago.</p>

<p>Scientists have claimed to have detected anti-cancer properties in three traditional varieties of rice found in Chhattisgarh.</p>

<p>A research has concluded that three medicinal varieties of rice - Gathwan, Maharaji and Laicha - have the ability to fight cancer, said scientist Deepak Sharma.</p>

<p>The research was conducted by the Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya (IGKV), Raipur and the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) Mumbai.</p>

<p>These varieties were taken from the rice germplasm bank preserved in IGKV, said Sharma, principal scientist at the genetics and plant breeding department of the agriculture university.</p>

<p>The three varieties of rice have properties to cure lung&nbsp;and breast cancers without affecting normal cells, Sharma told PTI.</p>

<p>Of them, Laicha has been found to be the most effective in preventing proliferation of cancer cells and destroying them, he said.</p>

<p>Last year, IGKV, affiliated to the University Grants Commission, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with BARC for carrying out a range of research on various crops.</p>

<p>As a part of the agreement, a study is being carried out on these three varieties of rice under the guidance of V P Venugopalan, Associate Director, Bio Science Group, BARC and other scientists, he said.</p>

<p>Sharma, who is also coordinator for researches being carried as a part of the MoU, said Gathwan, Maharaji and Laicha have been used for medicinal purpose in many pockets of the state, particularly in the tribal region of Bastar.</p>

<p>Gathwan also has the property to cure arthritis. Similarly, Laicha has been used in treating skin-related problems by villagers in some areas, the scientist said.</p>

<p>These varieties of rice also showed properties to prevent multiplication of cancer cells without affecting the normal cells, he said.</p>

<p>Certain elements in these rice varieties not only prevented the multiplication of cancer cells but also destroyed them to a significant extent, he said.</p>

<p>The research concluded that the necessary active ingredient can be achieved by consuming 200 gm of these varieties of rice daily by?a person, he said.</p>

<p>In the next stage of research, BARC scientists are trying to extract the anti-cancer ingredients or elements from these varieties and conduct trials on the mouse.</p>

<p>Subsequently, they plan to develop it as dietary supplement which will be easy for consumption for people, he said.</p>

<p>Describing the findings as a significant achievement, IGKV Vice-Chancellor S K Patil said very soon these three varieties of rice will be used in treatment of cancer.</p>

<p>He said several research projects are underway to identify medicinal properties of Chhattisgarh&#39;s traditional varieties of rice preserved by late R H Richharia, a renowned researcher.&nbsp;</p>
