What rattled his cage? Surprise, surprise, at the end of the day it’s the clubs’ fault. Funny how clubs are dismissed so easily in statistics thrown out before coffee and biscuits. It’s only ‘one club’ after all, and it wouldn’t do to call it, ” a minimum of three or four hundred young swimmers, a hundred masters swimmers, and forty or fifty water-polo players – per year!”, would it? A positive note for the assembled with the ASA ‘dissing’ its membership and then, “mine’s a custard cream”. In parts of London facilities have been made difficult to use with [ continue reading The Leisure Review: March 2011 – WTF! ] Yes, I still loathe the liars who run the nuclear industry. Yes, I would prefer to see the entire sector shut down, if there were harmless alternatives. But there are no ideal solutions. Every energy technology carries a cost; so does the absence of energy technologies. Atomic energy has just been subjected to one of the harshest of possible tests, and the impact on people and the planet has been small. The crisis at Fukushima has converted me to the cause of nuclear power. Why Fukushima made me stop worrying and love nuclear power | George Monbiot | Comment is [ continue reading Why Fukushima made George Monbiot stop worrying and love nuclear power ] 21 March 2011  |  | category: energy, health, one world, prognosticators, the state we're in, thinkers  | comments are closed  As part of its Olympic push, the city of London pledge to get 2 million more people in England playing sports and exercising. The New York Times reports today that: Figures issued in December by Sport England, the governing body for community sports, indicated that participation at the 3×30 level had increased by 123,000 since 2007-8, when the one million baseline was established. But that number increased by only 8,000 in the last year. At the current rate, the goal of one million new participants would not be reached in 2012-13 as hoped but more than [ continue reading Surprise: 2012 Olympics Are Not Making the Brits Exercise ] On December 25, 1643, Captain William Mynors and his crew aboard the ship the Royal Mary, sailed past a small island in the Malaysian archipelago and dubbed it “Christmas Island.” More than 300 kilometers away from the nearest other piece of dry land and uninhabitated by humans or their animals until the 1890′s, many of the animals and plants found here were unique to this island. These species included two endemic species of rats, Rattus macleari and Rattus nativitatis. Despite the fact that the first settlers found them to be abundant, within a very short time, i.e. by 1908, [ continue reading December 25 – Trypanosoma lewisi ] “Our city’s addiction to Big Macs and other high-fat fast food is literally breaking our hearts,” says Susan Levin, M.S., R.D., PCRM’s nutrition education director. “It’s time to tackle the district’s heart disease problem head-on. A moratorium on new fast-food restaurants could be a critically important step toward fighting this epidemic.” A PCRM survey shows that Washington has more McDonald’s, Burger King, and KFC outlets per square mile than eight other cities with similar population sizes. Offerings at these restaurants include high-fat, high-sodium products such as McDonald’s Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese Extra Value Meal, which has 61 [ continue reading arch rivals and the silent killer ] Shortly before Ronnie Lee Gardner was shot through the heart by a five-man firing squad at Utah State Prison, Mark Shurtleff tweeted: “I just gave the go ahead to Corrections Director to proceed with Gardner’s execution.” “A solemn day,” Mr Shurtleff typed, “Barring a stay Utah will use most extreme power and execute a killer. Mourn his victims. Justice.” Gardner, 49–who spent 25 years on death row for gunning down a lawyer during a failed court-room escape–chose to die by firing squad, an option open to him because he was convicted before Utah adopted lethal injection in 2004. He [ continue reading How To Die By Firing Squad ] Krav Maga (pronounced /ˌkrɑːv məˈɡɑː/; Hebrew: קרב מגע, IPA: [ˈkʁav maˈɡa], lit. ”contact combat”, “close combat” or “full contact”) is an eclectic hand-to-hand combat system developed in Israel which involves wrestling, grappling and striking techniques, mostly known for its extremely efficient and brutal counter-attacks, as it is also taught to elite special forces around the world. [1][2] It was derived from street-fighting skills developed by Imi Lichtenfeld, who made use of his training as a boxer and wrestler, as a means of defending the Jewish quarter during a period of anti-Semitic activity in Bratislava[3] in the mid- to late 1930s. [ continue reading Krav Maga ] I PREDICT A DIET! The cholesterol hypothesis can be likened to a cathedral built on a bog. Rather than admit they made a horrible mistake and let it sink, the builders decided to try and keep the cathedral afloat at all costs. Each time a crack appeared, a new buttress was built. Then further buttresses were built to support the original buttresses. Although direct contradictions to the cholesterol hypothesis repeatedly appear, nobody dares to say ‘okay, this isn’t working, time to build again from scratch’. That decision has become just too painful, especially now [ continue reading The Great Cholesterol Myth – at Spiked ] Abraham Maslow is famous for creating the “Hierarchy of Needs” — a graduating set of general requirements for human motivation. Like this: The idea behind this pyramid is that you need to fulfill the needs in the lowest (Physiological) level of the pyramid before you start thinking about the needs in the second-lowest (Safety) level. Then you can move on to the Love / belonging needs, and so forth. Then, hopefully, once you have satisfied the needs in the first four levels, you can start working on self-actualization, at which point you are a fully-realized human. Which would be, [ continue reading Fatty’s Hierarchy of Needs ] Anxiety can be a useful motivator when it comes to getting your work done or calling your mom, but too much anxiety is associated with more health problems than we can count. That’s because, among other things, stress can inhibit immune function. And if you’ve ever looked in the mirror when you’re sick (it’s not recommended), you know that your health and your looks are inextricably linked.

[ continue reading Ten Stress Busters That Make You Look Better ] William Li’s TED2010 presentation, “Can we eat to starve cancer?” was one of my favorites. William Li presents a new way to think about treating cancer and other diseases: anti-angiogenesis, preventing the growth of blood vessels that feed a tumor. The crucial first (and best) step: Eating cancer-fighting foods that cut off the supply lines and beat cancer at its own game. William Li heads the Angiogenesis Foundation, a nonprofit that is re-conceptualizing global disease fighting. From Li’s talk: Autopsy studies from people who died in car accidents have shown that about 40 percent of women between [ continue reading TED Talk: Can we eat to starve cancer? ] |
