Medellín, la segunda ciudad de Colombia y el epicentro de la moda del país sudamericano, se inundó a finales de julio de amantes de las pasarelas con ganas de ver a jóvenes talentos colombianos y a marcas como Custo Barcelona, pero también de compradores y vendedores de moda.

La OMS es optimista con la situación del ébola en Nigeria
http://sociedad.elpais.com/sociedad/2014/08/19/actualidad/1408438908_350917.html
El número de casos de ébola en Nigeria es el único que se mantiene estable en los distintos recuentos de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS): son 12 confirmados desde la llegada de la enfermedad a Lagos el 20 de julio (hay otros tres sospechosos), y todos ellos contactos directos del liberiano-estadounidense que llevó al virus al país, y que falleció cinco días después. El tiempo transcurrido sin que se hayan confirmado nuevos casos excede ya los 21 días del periodo máximo de incubación del virus, y eso permite, por primera vez, una interpretación optimista. En total, los casos siguen aumentando: en total, la OMS ha registrado hasta el 16 de agosto 2.237 sospechosos de ébola, de los que han fallecido 1.229.

Kyrgyzstan's 'Sex School' Breaks Through Taboos
It starts out like any gymnastics class: A teacher guides a roomful of women through stretching and breathing exercises. The yoga, ballet and tai chi moves train pelvic muscles, the stomach and legs. You only realize you are in a "sex class" when the egg-shaped stones appear. They are used for vaginal weightlifting, a Chinese technique for strengthening muscles and increasing sensitivity in the genital area. The goal is something rarely discussed in Kyrgyzstan: better sex.

Struggling With Sanctions, Russia Faces Oil Price Crash
The price of Urals crude oil, Russia's key export and the lynchpin of its government finances, fell below $100 this week for the first time in more than a year, after plummeting $15 in under a month.
Russia relies on hydrocarbon exports for 50 percent of its budget. Already squeezed by Western sanctions over Ukraine and balanced on the edge of recession, a sudden collapse in oil revenue looks like bad news for the economy.
