  • Growing Veal Without Animal Abuse

    Let us discuss an interesting new innovation in the process of feeding the World. Researchers have found a way to grow flesh without the Chicken. Very good. Why is this good? Bird Flu Virus for one. Let us look at the problems of growing a whole chicken simply to make the ‘Chicken Mc Nuggets’. That produces a lot of waste for instance high in protein chicken feathers. In South Carolina Chicken feathers, carcasses and waste has polluted the water and caused flesh-eating bacteria to eat through fish and leave a hole the circumference of a quarter.

    Killing the fish. Of course this same f ...

  • Robotic Future of Hospitals; Pandemic Prevention and Bio-Terrorist Attack

    There is a huge concern in the medical industry that if a biological weapon were released that those sick might come to the hospitals in such large numbers that before you realized an attack had occurred everyone in every nearby hospital would also be infected. Then of course the hospital itself would be rendered useless and all those already in the hospital no matter what the reason would literally condemned. The biggest issue with this is that those places we have available to help our populations stay well would be immediately and totally useless. For some background on the World Think T ...

    Ingrown Hair - Seven Causes & Eight Effects

    CAUSES

    1. Skin suffering from lack of moisture

    2. Stiff beard hair

    3. Embedded oil in the hair follicles

    4. Build up of dead skin cells in the pores and on the surface of the skin can cause ingrown hairs - some are more prone to this than others due to genetics

    5. Coarse curly hair growing in a curved hair follicle

    6. Improper shaving technique with a blade such as too close a shave

    7. Hair removal methods such as shaving, waxing, tweezing, electrolysis, often irritate the hair follicle.

    BRIEFS: Genetic Resource Policies: What is Diversity Worth to Farmers?
    The third in a series of IFPRI briefs on genetic resource policies. These briefs focus on who maintains diversity and how farmers value this diversity as societies and economies change.

    New Study Explores Patterns In Species Diversity And Genetic Diversity
    A new study by Mark Vellend in the August 2005 issue of the American Naturalist is the first to provide a theoretical model showing that the two central measures of biodiversity -- the number of species in a system and the number of genetic variants within a specific species -- respond similarly to changes in their environment.

    You know you are a PC addict when you can't tear yourself away from what you're doing to watch X-Files. On the plus side, you know you can cope with your addiction if you can manage to raise yourself out of the swivel chair for long enough to set the video. Millions of people watch X-Files and even there are fan clubs on the Net. Its members call themselves X-Philes the sort of word play that only works online.

  • "Stranger Danger" revisited: Concentrate on situations and actions!
    Children do not understand the concept of "stranger". When you try to explain to them, it is even difficult to explain. Therefore, situations need to be discussed and acted out for young children to understand what to watch out for! It needs to be communicated, that strangers are not necessarily bad, but unknown. You are not being impolite to be cautious with people you don't know, just being SAFE!

    1. The child's age is an important consideration:
    * Children aged 3-5: They are curious and may be naturally trusting. They also easily respond to adult attempts to be kind and supportive. ...

  • Developing a Fitness Attitude - A Healthy Weight Loss Program Approach

    Exercise is Not a Four Letter Word

    It's obvious that the word 'exercise' has more than four letters, but many of us will agree it sounds like a four-letter word.

    Indeed, many people feel so negatively about exercise, experts often advise using the term 'physical activity' instead.

    No matter what you call it, moving your body is critical to feeling and staying well. And to achieve and maintain healthy weights, it's key. The sticking point generally comes when we try to do it. (Regardless what Nike says, there's a bit more to it sometimes than just doing it.)
