Justin Bieber may have millions of fans worldwide, but Russia’s bears don’t appear to admire the pop singer’s music --- which proved fortunate for one lucky fisherman.

Igor Vorozhbitsyn had his life saved by a Justin Bieber ringtone, when his mobile phone went off during a dangerous attack by a brown bear.

The 42-year-old was attacked as he was walking to a favourite fishing spot in northern Russia’s Yakutia Republic and firmly believed that he was going to be killed.

Wildlife experts believe the ringtone must have frightened the bear into stopping its attack.

‘Sometimes a sharp shock can stop an angry bear in its attack and that ringtone would be a very unexpected sound for a bear,’ explained one.

Mr Vorozhbitsyn suffered from cuts and severe wounds and was rescued when he was found by other fishermen after using the phone to call for help.

Mr Vorozhbitsyn ---now recovering from his wounds---explained: ‘I had parked my car and was walking towards the spot I’d marked out when there was a tremendous impact on my back and the bear was on top of me.’

‘I couldn’t believe my luck when the phone went off and it run away.’

‘I know that sort of ringtone isn’t to everyone’s taste but my granddaughter loaded it onto my phone for a joke,’ he added.

Adult brown bears can weigh as much as 600kg and have been known to kill wolves and even Siberian tigers.

Finally, this is a proof that Justin Bieber is unbearable

The World Health Organization says there has been a sharp increase in the number of over-weight children in developing countries.In African countries, the WHO says the number of over-weight or obese children is twice as high as it was 20 years ago.Around the world, about 43 million children under the age of five were overweight in 2013.

Overweight and obese children are more likely to become overweight and obese adults.The condition can generate serious health problems like heart diseases.

Francesco Branca is the director of the WHO Department of Nutrition for Health and Development.He says urban lifestyle makes people eat processed food more often, which has a high sugar, fat and salt content.He also says people are gaining weight because of their lack of activities.They travel in cars or other vehicles more than on foot.

The WHO experts say to lower obesity rates is especially complex in countries that also deal with high rates of infectious diseases.

The WHO has some basic solutions for individuals and countries.The organization says you should lower your intake of fat, sugar, salt and processed food and eat more fruits, vegetables and increase physical activity.The WHO says these actions are especially important for children.

And WHO expert Branca says mothers should breastfeed their babies for at least the first six months of life, if possible.More importantly, governments should consider providing vitamins for children and educational campaigns about problems linked to obesity would also help.In his view, government policies should deal with how food is marketed to children and food producers must balance quality and taste with the dangers of sugar, fat and salt."Reducing the number of overweight children will not be easy.The goal is difficult to meet even in wealthy countries." he adds.

1.___________

Answer: If you are in a desert environment, try to build an underground shade shelter to avoid prolonged sun exposure, obviously only for hot climates.So you can be more comfortable in cooler temperatures to avoid sweating.If your environment is damp, use branches laid and criss-crossed on top of one another to create a solid and dry foundation for an open bed pad.Raise the foundation above ground level as much as possible.

2._________

Answer: Yes, I think so.For example, if you think the best survival course of action is to look for help and civilization, don’t wait 4 or 5 days before you come to this conclusion.Take action on the 1st or 2nd day if possible while you still have strength and endurance working for you.

3._________

Answer: Use dry wood and sticks to start your fire.Fire is started by using three kinds of wood: tinder, kindling, and fuel.Tinder is any kind of flammable wood shavings, usually light and wispy.You can take two pieces of dry wood, sharpen one of them and use it to drill into the other piece.Place any highly flammable objects you can find next to the drill bit.The moment the flammable object catches a spark, use a rock to swiftly tip the object onto a nest of leaves and little branches.

4.__________

Answer: Get an ordinary block of wood and hit it with a rock repeatedly until the wood sharpens.In this case, use the rock as your sharpener.You could also take a rock and break off some of the edges and then use another rock and some water like a wet stone and sharpen.In an ideal situation, obsidian stone would be used for its infamous sharpness.

5.___________

Answer: Use two more sticks to hold up a “teepee”, similar to your shelter.Place an item of your choice you think an animal will come after, if you’re lucky, the animal will be trapped.Dig a hole in the ground about 2m-3m deep and 1m-2m across.Take two thin branches and place them criss-crossed across the hole.Cover it with leaves and put something the animals like to eat.You can also put a few wooden spikes sharpened by your knife at the bottom.Don’t forget to build a ladder or you might not be able to climb out of the hole.
