Cannabis is not a cause of anti-social behaviour.
2008-06-06 02:47:00 Image via Wikipedia In the politics of drug policy in the community an emerging concern is being expressed characterised by an anti-fun, anti-youth intolerance ranging from neo-prohibitionism to a 'more rules is better than some rules' debate surrounding alcohol deficits in the community. If Cannabis is not a cause of anti-social behaviour AND cannabis is displacing alcohol and other mind altering substances it can be reasonably argued its use is ''harm minimizing" AND producing a positive social outcome.And why do those who are morally (or politically) concerned 'about drug harms' resist change (ie: "we don't need a third drug!") when cannabis is so prevalent and so benign by any comparison yet 'in their name and mine' its draconian sanction so damaging."The Advisory Council also found that cannabis use isn't actually associated with antisocial or criminal behaviour, but the public perception is that it is, because there's a lot of misleading information which confuses p...

Rajput's behaviour not in purview of Nanavati's inquiry
2008-05-15 19:12:00 Ahmedabad (PTI): The BCCI-appointed Commissioner Sudhir Nanavati, who inquired into the slapping row, on Thursday said he was not asked to probe Mumbai Indians coach Lalchand Rajput's alleged behaviour when Harbhajan Singh slapped S Sreesanth after an IPL match."I only had to probe the incident where Harbhajan slapped Sreesanth. I was not asked to probe any other thing like alleged behaviour of Lalchand Rajput when the incident happened," Nanavati told reporters in reply to a question on why no action was taken against the Mumbai coach.Rajput was found guilty by IPL match referee Farokh Engineer and fined half of his match fee for allegedly smiling when the off-spinner slapped the Kerala speedster after an IPL match.Nanavati said he could only probe a matter he was asked to, adding that he he was also not supposed to inquire about the behaviour of Sreesanth during the match.Harbhajan was banned for five one-day internationals by BCCI disciplinary committee yesterday based on the in...

Security Pros ignoring their own message
2008-04-25 09:17:00 As you probably know: I am Swiss. We have a saying in Switzerland (I do not know whether something like this exists in English as well) that the kids of the shoemaker always have the worst shoes? So, what about the security professionals? No, I am not talking about their shoes but what about the way they handle security? It seems that during Infosec (the information security exhibition in London) there were quite some notebook just lying around and ? even worse ? unlocked. Now, we ask the users to take care but we do not even do the basics right? I once said a few years ago that whenever I find an unlocked notebook in the office, I would add myself as a local admin (as most of us are admin on the box, this is a fairly easy task if the machine is not locked). Now, after doing that I waited for the next time we had a meeting together. It is Microsoft attitude that you take your notebook to the meetings (and some do e-mails during the meetings L).

I was very particular about my clothes and movements. We rehearsed for nearly a week for the song. And now they're saying I was uncooperative and not ready to rehearse."What awaited Tanushree on the set was four days of horror. "From the start I wasn't comfortable with Nana Patekar's presence.

It suggests they are somehow partly protected from the ravages of heart disease."Over a 20-year period, people who never owned a cat faced a 40-per-cent greater risk of death due to heart attack than previous or current cat owners," said the lead researcher, Adnan Qureshi, a professor at the University of Minnesota. Dr. Qureshi, who presented the findings at a medical conference in New Orleans yesterday, is at a loss to explain his study, which involved 4,435 volunteers. "The best theory we can come up with is that ... cat ownership leads to reduced stress levels which, in turn, lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease" he suggested. On the other hand, it is possible that cats don't directly shield people from heart attacks. Instead, cat owners as a group may share specific personality traits that reduce their chances of suffering from heart disease at an early age. ...

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy - the truth?
2008-02-09 14:47:00 The more I research therapies used to treat anxiety and depression the more cynical I get. I recently was told about an excellent article by a UK Art Therapist which looked at the official guidelines for using CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) to treat anxiety and depression. In the UK, a public body called the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) gives out guidelines for the use of prescription medication, surgical procedures and other non-medical treatments such as therapy. For some time the overwhelming opinion of NICE has reportedly been that CBT is the treatment of choice for anxiety and depression (with drug therapies also playing a major role). The essayist, Malcolm Learmonth, describes how NICE guidelines come in two parts: the full report which hardly anyone reads, and an abridged version. It seems that the two are actually quite different, with the abridged version making a much better case for CBT as a valid treatment than the evidence in the full version wo...

Playing chess may help children improve their behaviour
2008-01-25 12:48:00 Chess lessons might improve children’s behaviour, say researchers. The study, conducted by Aberdeen University staff, found that youngsters who started playing chess became mentally sharper and their behaviour also improved in comparison to those who did not. "The big question is why this is happening," The Scotsman quoted Dod Forrest, of the university's School of Education, as saying. "We looked at reading skills before they play chess and afterwards, and it improves significantly, but we don't fully understand it. "The social aspect could be just as important as the development of the cognitive process chess playing demands. Playing in tournaments leads to travelling about a bit and getting involved in a wider section of society, building contacts and confidence,” Forrest added. In the yearlong study, the researchers studied children from two primary schools in Aberdeen where free school meals are the norm. &nb...

Even though the Yahoo! officials have assured that they follow strict privacy policy, a normal user will be quite uncomfortable knowing that everything he/ she does is tracked and stored ! I am okay with search words stored anonymously, but here Yahoo! not only tracks activities, but stores it as a user profile. Even Google stores searches done, however, user has the facility to stop storing these results. Also, I am not sure if google keeps the track of which user has searched for what ! Even with all this, I fail to understand how Yahoo! will know what banner ads user has clicked (unless they are Yahoo's own ads ) and which microsites they have visited.

Labour MPs are voicing their dismay over poor ministerial behaviour (Smith
2008-01-15 07:49:00 It seems that each day more and more Labour MPs are making statements to the media, that are not at all supportive of their ministers. Over the last couple of days their comments have been aimed at Jacqui Smith and Peter Hain. Keith Vaz, Labour chair of the home affairs committee, Lindsay Hoyle and Andrew Mackinlay have all made it very clear that the police pay award could have been handled better. Keith Vaz believes that the police pay award is of such importance that it should be voted on in parliament. Lindsay Hoyle has called the two stage pay deal "unacceptable and unpalatable", and Andrew Mackinlay believes the deal would not only cause "disproportionate offence to public servants" and "collateral damage" to the Labour government, but it was also "unfair". However Jacqui is not listening:"I had a responsibility to make a decision that was right for the police, for the affordability of policing and for the taxpayer as a whole."

Siberian jays can assess, communicate about the behaviour of predators
2008-01-10 10:16:00 A new research has revealed that Siberian jays can assess and communicate about the behaviour of predators. Researchers at Uppsala University have discovered that with the help of various alarm calls the Siberian jaybirds inform other members of its group what their main predators, hawks, are doing. The alarm calls are enough for these birds to evince situation-specific fleeing behaviours, which enhance their chances of survival. Everyday, many animal species face the risk of being killed by a predator. Certain apes and marmots have developed specific alarm calls that communicate the category of predators or the distance of predators to other group members. It has been proposed that an alarm call is an adaptation that helps them survive daily encounters with predators. “But the risk a predator represents to its prey is also contingent on the behaviour of the predator, so it would be an advantage for survival to be able to communicate whet...
