News & Events - October 2007

The news media is answering a lot of questions, but are there other questions we should be seeking answers to?

Is the reality here such that these fires burn every year & the news media is giving it a lot of hype because there's nothing much else going on worth coverage, like the US war with Iran, or is there something special with the current situation that makes it worse than prior year fires?

Don't these fires happen every year?

How to protect health of residents in the immediate area, due to all that smoke from burnt trees, and burnt buildings?

Buildings need swamp coolers or humidifier with an air filter that can be replaced daily because of build up of ash particles.

If you have a swimming pool, you should be considered criminally negligent if you don't have a pump to siphon water to a system which waters your house in case of fire.

How does this situation compare to Katrina, in terms of relief speed quality, and disaster predictability?

Contrast that with the way people acted in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina -- with all the killings, looting, rapes, and violence? Remember the rescue helicopters in NO couldn't work because people were shooting at them? Remember when they trashed the Super Dome, it had to be closed for over a year just to clean up what the people did? The San Diego stadium was ready for action a couple of days later after the same situation. What do you think was the big difference that made the people in San Diego so helpful and the people of New Orleans so horrible?

The biggset obstacles to peace in the Middle East.
The war in Iraq has been a military disaster from day one.
Isreal acts like a schoolyard bully. It is okay for them to have illegal nuclear weapons, but not okay for Iran to have them.
The Isreali oppresion of the Palestinian people is verging on Nazism.

Who will it hurt the most and do you still think that it was the right thing to do to invade Iraq. I understand Afghanistand was ok. Do you still blame the French and Germans for making a wise decision no to get involved.

Could they be open to bribes?

Example

A man or a woman could stop breathing or their heart could stop and the Senior Nurse on duty decides if they should be brought back to life or not What if a partner/husband/wife didn't want that person to survive for what ever reason? Nurses are on rubbish pay for the job that they do. They could be offered a large sum of money to not resuscitate that person. I know a lot of people will say NO due to ethics & being professional but a large sum of money could change their lives.

So I have two questions for you

1 - Could senior nurses be open to bribes?

2 - If you were a senior nurse and money was tight. Would you accept a large money bribe not to resuscitate a person?

Just listning to the football commentary at the minute and we keep getting updates from some femaile commentator and, well, she really doesn't have a clue. Women aren't interested in football, as they're always saying, so why should they be allowed to commentate on it?

I am curious to know what american people think of their media versus the people from other countries.
1. Do you think american media cover world news as much as they should
2. Do you think you get unbiased report of situation?
Please mention if you have been to/are from other country.

In the link provided there is a girl rotating in 360's

Apparently if you the silhouette moving clock wise you use the right side of your brain. If you see it move counter CW it means you use the left side of your brain.

I know a lot of people see it change between both directions. that means you use a little bit of each side.

http://scienceblogs.com/neurophilosophy/2007/10/the_left_brain_right_brain_myt.php



You've probably heard this left/ right brain dichotomy before. It goes something like this: the left hemisphere of the brain is logical, deductive, mathematical, etc., while the right hemisphere is artistic, visual and imaginative. The idea stems at least partly from the classic studies of split brain patients performed by Sperry and Gazzaniga in the 1960s.

It is not as if there is terrorism, so far in Canada. What is a few measly billion in the state of the world today. We only need the NIgerians to keep kidnapping oil workers to prove my confusion.
