Cancer is recnac, in reverse, just fyi - thanks to Dr. Lodi for the term - check out his book and join the revolution really fighting recnac.
It’s frightening how much millions of dollars are being spent on cancer research and yet we always seem to be at the brink of something resembling hope of a cure but never arrive at a cure or even some better solutions.
The confusion (not so lately) surrounding the issue of mammograms aside, how do we know the research funds are being channelled to the most effective research programs or the ones most likely to produce useful and “ready-to-wear” results?
In this age of technology as we keep going deeper and deeper into the uber-nanoscopic world of dna and genes, have we lost sight of some of the more basic treatments we can apply our collective genius to investigating or have we become a society of researchers dictated to by the drug companies who fund the research we do?
Bee hip to new words!
nanoscopic - Exceedingly small; tinier than a microscopic particle
In the ultra-nanoscopic world of DNA and genomes, microscopic particles are clumsy and gargantuan.
from the word microscopic the prefix micro is substituted with nano

Phishing Scams still fooling some folks
People, stop falling for internet email phishing scams!!! If you think someone is stranded and needs money, call their job (at the very least, you can email at their work address) and ask to speak to them, you'll be surprised to find out they never left the country!!

Am sorry for bothering you with my financial issue. I have contacted my family and I haven't heard from them for 2 days now. Please can you ask someone close to you to send the funds to me? You can email me the senders name and MTCN number as soon as the transfer is complete. Let me know so that I can forward my information to you.
Thanks

It’s me, [Real Person's name withheld]. I don't mean to inconvenience you right now, I made a trip to Scotland and I misplaced my luggage that contains my passport and credit cards. I know this may sound odd but it all happened very fast. I need to get a new passport and a ticket, but I'm short of funds. Please, can you lend me some funds to get a ticket? I will pay you back.
Please respond as soon as you get this message, so I can forward you my details to send funds to me, OR you can drop a message via the hotel's desk phone if you can. The number is, +447045733705.
I await your response

COTT madness
If it's not mad, then it's just ironic. The irony of ironies: COTT on their featured artist page features a blurb about the artist and conveniently excludes the source of their information. Where is the source for this information? Dare I say the word "plagiarism"? By COTT, such an offence would be laughable if it wasn't such a serious matter. Is it any wonder the state of affairs regarding copyright is what it is in Trinidad and Tobago?

Cellphone users beware
* Reduce your overall cell phone use: Turn your cell phone off more often. Reserve it for emergencies or important matters. As long as your cell phone is on, it emits radiation intermittently, even when you are not actually making a call.
* Children Should Not Use Cell Phones: Barring a life-threatening emergency, children should not use a cell phone, or a wireless device of any type. Children are far more vulnerable to cell phone radiation than adults because of their thinner skull bones.
* Use a land line at home and at work: Although more and more people are switching to using cell phones as their exclusive phone contact, it is a dangerous trend and you can choose to opt out of the madness.
* Reduce or eliminate your use of other wireless devices: You would be wise to cut down your use of these devices. Just as with cell phones, it is important to ask yourself whether or not you really need to use them every single time.
* If you must use a portable home phone, use the older kind that operates at 900 MHz. They are no safer during calls, but at least many of them do not broadcast constantly even when no call is being made. Alternatively you can use a regular cordless phone if your home is large enough and there are at least three rooms between the base station and where you sleep and spend most of the time in the day.
Note the only way to truly be sure if there is an exposure from your cordless phone is to measure with an electrosmog meter, and it must be one that goes up to the frequency of your portable phone (so old meters will not be of much use). You can find meters at http://emfsafetystore.com/.
As a general rule of thumb, you can pretty much be sure your portable phone is a problem if the technology is DECT, or digitally enhanced cordless technology.
* Use your cell phone only where reception is good: The weaker the reception, the more power your phone must use to transmit, and the more power it uses, the more radiation it emits, and the deeper the dangerous radio waves penetrate into your body. Ideally, you should only use your phone with full bars and good reception.
* Don’t assume one cell phone is safer than another: Please understand that despite assurances, there’s still no such thing as a “safe” cell phone.
* Keep your cell phone away from your body when it’s on: The most dangerous place to be, in terms of radiation exposure, is within about six inches of the emitting antenna. You do not want any part of your body within that area (so do not carry your cell phone on your belt, either).
* Use safer headset technology: Wired headsets will certainly allow you to keep the cell phone farther away from your body. However, if a wired headset is not well-shielded -- and most of them are not -- the wire itself acts as an antenna attracting ambient information carrying radio waves and transmitting radiation directly to your brain.
Make sure that the wire used to transmit the signal to your ear is shielded.
The best kind of headset to use is a combination shielded wire and air-tube headset. These operate like a stethoscope, transmitting the information to your head as an actual sound wave; although there are wires that still must be shielded, there is no wire that goes all the way up to your head.

UWI school
It may be all that, but if I have to pay a pound and four crowns for my child to go to that school, they should not be getting homework that only I can do. It's madness to conceive of anything otherwise. What's the point and purpose of homework if the child cannot complete at least 50% of it by himself?

Mad Pup
No it's not a cute version of mad dog, it's UTT's Pre-University Programme. The mad part is they want to interview applicants who are over 25yrs old to "determine suitability" - now if that isn't mad, I don't know the definition! Why on earth would they need to interview someone to determine suitability if it's just a "pre-University" programme? It's not like they're admitting you to a degree programme or giving it for free, you still have to pay to attend - so what's the big deal about interviewing applicants? And why not interview the ones who are below the age of 25? Those are the ones who should be screened for suitability. They're usually immature and if they have matriculated yet at UWI or USC, they're unprepared, until they've had some time to age and mature!
