Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ From foreign press Scientists have found further evidence that dolphins call each other by "name". Research has revealed that the marine mammals use a unique whistle to identify each other. A team from the University of St Andrews in Scotland found that when the animals hear their own call played back to them, they respond. Dr Vincent Janik, from the university's Sea Mammal Research Unit, said: "(Dolphins) live in this three-dimensional environment, and they need to stay together as a group. "These animals live in an environment where they need a very efficient system to stay in touch." xxxxxxx The largest automotive group in Europe, Germany's Volkswagen AG, has finally approved the project for the production of the first crossover under the brand name of Bentley, reported Bloomberg on Tuesday. The new Bentley is expected to be the most expensive SUV in the world. Official announcement is still awaited by the car makers, however it is already known that the model will be based on the concept car Bentley EXP 9 F which was presented in the Geneva Motor Show last year. Sources claim that the original design of the concept car has undergone significant changes for the commercial model. The cost of the basic model of the new SUV is expected to be around 180 million euros. The new model is crucial for VW plans since it aims at increasing sales of Bentley to 15 thousand cars by the year 2018. In 2012, Bentley delivered 8510 cars to its customers, which is up by 22% from the previous year. The gross profit of the company increased to 100 million euros in 2012 against the profit of 8 million euros in 2011. xxxxxxx A movie about the founding of Wikileaks and the subsequent legal saga facing its founder Julian Assange was named Tuesday as the opening film of the 38th Toronto International Film Festival. The Fifth Estate by director Bill Condon stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the controversial Wikileaks founder who is currently holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London in a bid to avoid extradition to Sweden where he faces disputed rape charges. Other notable political films on the festivals roster included Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, which stars Idris Elba in a dramatization of the life of the legendary South African leader. The festival opens on September 5 and is widely regarded as the kick-off event for would-be Oscar contenders. Past winners include Slumdog Millionaire and The King's Speech, both of which went on to win the best picture Oscar. xxxxxx People should eat breakfast to keep their hearts in good condition, according to researchers in the US. Their study of 27,000 men, in the journal Circulation, showed those skipping breakfast were at a greater risk of heart problems. The team at the Harvard School of Public Health said missing the meal put an "extra strain" on the body. The British Heart Foundation said breakfast helped people resist sugary snacks before lunch. The men, aged 45-82, were studied for 16 years. During that time there were more than 1,500 heart attacks or cases of fatal heart failure. However, people who skipped breakfast were 27% more likely to have heart problems than those who started the day with a meal. The researchers adjusted for other lifestyle risk factors such as smoking and exercise. Researcher, Dr Leah Cahill told the BBC: "The take-home message is eat in the morning when you wake up, preferably within an hour. "The results show that something is better than nothing, but it's always better to have something healthy and balanced." She said the timing of the meal seemed to be key and waiting until lunch rather than "breaking fast" may be straining the body over time. She said this could be increasing the risk of high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes which could in turn damage the heart. "Don't skip breakfast," Dr Cahill concluded. Victoria Taylor, a dietitian with the British Heart Foundation, said: "These researchers only looked at men aged over 45, so we would need to see further research to confirm that breakfast has the same impact on the heart health of other groups of people. "What we do know is that a healthy and filling breakfast can make that mid-morning biscuit less tempting, as well as giving you another opportunity to widen the variety of foods in your diet. "Wholegrain toast, or cereals like porridge with low fat milk are a good way to start the day. Try a sliced banana or dried fruit on top and you'll be on your way to five-a-day before you've even left the house."
