Stop Dating Violence
2008-05-06 19:50:00 6 May 2008Went to comb the NUS library for some good reads after examination today when I found this interesting booth display at the entrance.Entitled "Stop Dating Violence", the booth highlighted several indicators of an abusive relationship including "being insulted or called names", "hit, grabbed, pushed, slapped, kicked, punched or burnt", etc. It also described what is a healthy relationship and how one can protect oneself from violence.I find the message that the booth sought to convey as rather fresh, apparently deviating from the usual emphasis on promoting awareness of family violence. Now the focus is on BGRs.The Caption "Love Shouldn't Hurt" sums it all up.For more information on Dating Violence (as well as take a quiz to find out whether you are a victim of Dating Violence), please log on to http://www.family.gov.sg/stopfa-milyviolence
The Day Google Went Dark
2008-03-29 19:39:00 Today when I first went to Google, I immediately thought Firefox or my PC had some sort of virus going on. The entire Google frontpage is black today (as seen above), but it's no virus or reason for concern. Today Google has "shut off its lights", and is reminding people across the world to do the same, from 8 to 9 PM during their local time. The act is an effort to conserve energy for that hour. Here's more from Google about today's "Earth Hour":Google users in the United States will notice today that we "turned the lights out" on the Google.com homepage as a gesture to raise awareness of a worldwide energy conservation effort called Earth Hour. As to why we don't do this permanently - it saves no energy; modern displays use the same amount of power regardless of what they display. However, you can do something to reduce the energy consumption of your home PC by joining the Climate Savers Computing Initiative.On Saturday, March 29, 2008, Earth Hour invites people around the...

News & Current Events :: Creation Museum Causes Stir In Scientific Circles
2007-05-21 05:55:00 Author: Eric Subject: Creation Museum Causes Stir In Scientific CirclesPosted: Sun May 20, 2007 11:55 pm (GMT -4) Creation Museum Causes Stir In Scientific Circles Dylan T. Lovan - the Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A museum where Adam and Eve share exhibit space with dinosaurs is drawing criticism from groups of science educators as it nears completion. The $27 million Creation Museum tells a biblical version of the Earth's history, asserting that the planet is just a few thousand years old and man and the giant lizards once coexisted. The educators say its exhibits, inspired by the Old Testament, are geared toward children but lack scientific evidence. "When they try to confuse [kids] about what is science and what isn't science, scientists have an obligation to speak out," said Lawrence Krauss, an author and a physics professor at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. "There's no doubt these are documented lies." Krauss has signe...
Briney Causes Chaos For Leather
2007-05-20 16:35:00 Britney Spears stormed off an aeroplane shortly before take-off - because her seat was not leather.The 'Toxic' singer caused chaos when she demanded to be let off a flight from Los Angeles to Florida, causing a one-hour delay for the other passengers.One passenger, Tony Sanchez, told the News of the World, "It was quite astonishing.

It hasn't got leather seats.' I heard everything but most people were left wondering what was going on, so the captain was forced to make an apology to all the other passengers over the tannoy."He added added: "It was quite a fiasco but she didn't seem to care about anything except getting off that plane. All the passengers were furious." Source

Is testosterone one of the causes of evil?
2007-05-02 10:17:00 Click here to register for the top-secret new blog service!!No, this isn't a man-bashing post; it's about people with higher-than-average levels of testosterone for their gender. With that said; we take it so for granted that the overwhelming majority of crimes, especially violent ones, are committed by MEN that we don't wonder WHY... all *I* ever thought about it was that testosterone often leads to aggression, and aggression can be the root of criminal behavior, but that's clearly not a sufficient explanation. If testosterone is part of what creates, not just aggression, but EVIL, that'd explain alot; here's the 1st hint that this could be so (asterisks mine):"Most people don't appreciate an angry look, but a new University of Michigan psychology study found that ***some people find angry expressions so rewarding that they will readily learn ways to encourage them.***'It's kind of striking that an angry facial expression is consciously valued as a very negative sig...

A reminder of the causes of $3/gal
2007-04-19 13:31:00 About two years ago, I posted a list of causes of high gasoline prices. The situation, has not changed, except for the worse. The causes are the same as they were then. So, let’s revisit what I said two years ago: What are the causes of-life crisis? 1: ‘Seasonal Blends’ It’s ‘Enviro friendly’ to create gasoline that burns at it’s best under certain driving conditions. Supposedly. Yet, it does cause supply restrictions, given point 2, which is a limited refining capacity. Re-tooling this limited capacity to create these blends every few months, costs the refineries millions every year. And they actually have to stop making gas while the production line is shifted to the new blending, thus making supply/demand even worse. Where do you think that cost difference goes? Thank you, un-American left for forcing this enviro-wacko nonsense on us. If the Democrats were really serious about lowering the costs of fuel, don’t you think we&rsq...

WHAT CAUSES DE NOVO AUTISM? The father's increasing age is the major cause
2007-04-15 23:53:00 - Despite its reputation as the most highly heritable of all neuro-psychiatric diseases, autism appears in families with no history of the disorder. A new study led by Michael Wigler and Jonathan Sebat at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory provides evidence that the sporadic, non-inherited form of autism may be genetically distinct from heritable autism. Published in “Science Express,” these findings may influence future autism research and diagnostic testing.Using new high resolution array technology to detect mutations, Sebat and colleagues found that spontaneous deletions and duplications of genetic material, so-called copy number variation, were ten times more prevalent in sporadic cases of autism spectrum disorders than in healthy control subjects They found the spontaneous mutations in 14 of 195 people with autism spectrum disorders compared to two of 196 unaffected individuals. The results also implicate the anomalies as primary, rather than just contributory, causes of the di...

Identifying causes of hair loss in women
2007-04-12 09:20:00 Hair loss for men and women is always a cause for concern; nevertheless it becomes more devastating when the causes of hair loss are not identified. Clinical dermatologists make their diagnosis out of some 20 different hair loss diseases. Some common diseases that dermatologists are likely to see are androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, trichotillomania, alopecia aerata, cicatricial alopecia, hair shaft defects from cosmetic processing and excess hair growth (hirsutism or hypertrichosis). Most hair diseases are very rare and affect less than 1% of the population. However, because of the lack of research into hair diseases sometimes it becomes very difficult to make a specific diagnosis. Very few diagnostic tests or treatments available, particularly for diseases that cause hair loss other than those listed above. Generally a dermatologist has recourse to three main methods of information gathering. The first one is to know about the hair loss history and li...
