Paint Ball Policing
What a bright(ly coloured) idea!
Quote from Isaac Asimov
Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won’t come in.
Isaac Asimov, born January 2, 1920, was a Russian-born, American author and master of science fiction whose most famous work is the Foundation Series about the downfall and rebirth of a vast Galactic Empire. Asimov was also a professor of biochemistry known for his popular science books. He wrote or edited more than 500 books and is considered one of history’s most prolific writers. Along with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke, Asimov was considered one of the “Big Three” science fiction writers of his time.
Federal Reserve Titanic Link
If that’s of interest, also check out the fact that the Titanic had a sister ship that was previously damaged and some suspect were rebadged so the damaged ship, now rebadged as the Titanic, was the one that sank.
A Video of Pouring Water on an Oil Fire
A great example to show your kids of the fireball that ensues when you put water on an oil fire. This is why I keep two oil/electric fire suitable extinguishers in the home – one immediately outside the kitchen (so I can access it if the kitchen is on fire) and one on the stair landing.

Counting Calories
I was doing some research into the nutrient content of the dietary intake on a standard day. Read an interesting article that had this as the last paragraph:
“One problem that seems to persist is consumers’ perception of what constitutes healthy eating. In this regard, consumers have persistently demonstrated a tendency to be myopic. Too often they focus on avoiding one or two “bad” food concerns (e.g., fat or saturated fat) and don’t consider the contribution of vitamins, minerals and other desirable nutrients. Highly engineered foods that contain increasingly larger proportions of fat replacers and bulking agents may indeed contain less fat and fewer calories, but in many cases, they also may contain significantly reduced levels of beneficial nutrients. The education part of the NLEA must be improved for consumers to benefit from nutrition labels. Good nutrition involves more than counting calories.”
I could not agree more with Ray, the author of the piece. In the first place, fat is not the demon it is made out to be. Never was. And most consumers have it 100% wrong. “Fat is the No. 1 consumer nutrition concern and saturated fat is No. 2, according to a recent telephone interview of 1,500 adults sampled nationwide…”
The truth is, the more fat you eat, the less fat you are. Check out the Framingham study for proof.
The article even gives the game away when it says, “Despite the shift to eating foods with lower levels of fat, consumers are heavier than ever.” It’s not so much “Despite” as it is “Because”!
The article continues, “A recent survey by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) shows that 33% of American adults are now overweight – an 8% increase over 10 years ago. A study by the National Institutes of Health revealed that in 1992-1993 the average weight of Americans age 25-30 was 171 lbs. The same age group had an average weight of only 161 lbs. in 1985-1986. Excess caloric intake from nonfat sources is undoubtedly contributing to this weight gain.”
I knew right there and then it must be an old article as the figure is now 66%. So I found the date – 1996!

Same BS Different Year
Quote from Maria Edgeworth
If we take care of the moments, the years will take care of themselves.
Maria Edgeworth, born January 1, 1767, was a prolific and influential Anglo-Irish writer of adult and children’s books often considered the ‘Irish Jane Austen’ or ‘female Sir Walter Scott’. Her admirers, in fact, included both Austen and Scott, who acknowledged her influence in Waverly, as well as Ivan Turgenev and William Makepeace Thackeray. Edgeworth was an outspoken commentator on class, race, and gender whose novels reflected her beliefs in women’s education reform as well as her criticism of the treatment of Irish peasantry, who she worked hard to help.
Statin Drug Harms
A recent study finds the chemical war against cholesterol using statin drugs was justified through statistical deception and the cover up of over 300 adverse health effects documented in the biomedical literature.
