With the New Year just hours old, instead of boozing it up with the rest of us, the Nanny State has been conspiring to issue an early morning wake up call to those of us who were sleeping off the remnants of 08 with a new campaign.
The idea is to “kickstart a lifestyle revolution for [...]
I want to have my PC free from Spyware and Adware. Here I am lucky to find a new anti-spyware program by ParetoLogic, Inc. It is a new anti-spyware program, XoftSpy PC Scanner. This program is able to scan in a few minutes 42,000 different threats, and informs me about any unwanted intruders. This program includes useful functions, such as Scheduling, Ignore and Backup lists. It also provides
The Islamists have already opened the door for aspects of sharia law being allowed in the UK via the Sharia Courts. But this is not enough for them as they want full sharia across the UK for all UK residents. Now finally the non-Muslims there have begun to stand up against the impending Islamic takeover. [...]
Iran on Monday had successfully testfired an anti-ship missile with a range of 300 kilometres (180 miles) that it had developed with homegrown technology so far unused by any other country."No enemy vessels would be able to escape it within a 300-kilometre radius from the borders of Iran," the commander of the elite Revolutionary Guards, General Mohammad Ali Jafari, said on state television.The we
In an effort to revive the anti-immigration wave that seemed to crest with Republican Tom Tancredo’s failed presidential primary bid, right-wing bigots are vigourously buying ad space — placing the blame for traffic and sprawl, population growth, and sundry, on immigrants.
The ads go on to blame overpopulation for overcrowded schools and emergency rooms, deteriorating public [...]
Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama on Tuesday said the United States cannot succeed in its mission in Afghanistan and on the home-front unless there is a change in the country's policy on Pakistan. The Illinois senator said promised to shift the US focus on Iraq to a "terrorist sanctuary" in tribal Pakistan and that the major goal of his "new strategy" would be to fight the al-Qaida in
"Now, why is it that Senator Obama wants to sit down with the President of Iran, but hasn't yet sat down with General Petraeus - the leader of our troops in Iraq?" Sound Familiar? For Good Reason. Candidates are not allowed, by law, to have contact or affiliation with 527 organizations. This is just another law McCain is breaking in a long line of criminal behavior. Smart voters are noticing and n
When the masterminds behind the "this is your brain on drugs" campaign found out that the fried egg commercial didn't have any affect on drug use, they decided to take a more realistic approach. They also decided to combine theirs with other positive messages, like not shoplifting. Not to say that The Skinny is addicted to black tar heroin (I swear I'm not, no really, seriously, I'm not, you guy
Earlier this month it was discovered that Sprint had spent $100 million on an ad campaign specifically to bash the iPhone in favor of Samsung's Instinct, which runs on Sprint's network. Now it looks like they're at it again, with several more of their ads aimed at the Apple handset.
A study found that cannabinoid receptor antagonists, a relatively new class of weight loss drugs, stunted the brains of juvenile mice. It is possible that such drugs could have similar effects on human children.
Several new anti-obesity treatments, including Merck's taranabant and rimonabant -- sold in Europe as Acomplia -- reduce appetite by blocking the brain's cannabinoid receptors. But they also have disturbing side effects that are only now becoming apparent.
Other researchers have found that cannabinoid receptor blockers interfere with neural connectivity in rat brains -- a phenomenon associated with depression in humans. The FDA has so far refused to approve Acomplia because it appears to cause anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts.
Researchers are constantly trying to find new drugs or forms of therapy that can be used to treat cancer. Quite often when a possible treatment is discovered, being allowed to test a drug or other experimental cancer treatment at a clinical level is difficult. For example, after an anti-carcinogenic drug has been thoroughly tested at [...]
The EEOC partnered with Wynton Marsalis and New York's Jazz at Lincoln Center to produce two public service announcements (PSAs) on workplace discrimination. Each of the 30-second spots aims to increase recognition and reporting of race discrimination at work by making viewers aware that it is against the law.(Note from blogger: I think people know or highly suspect they are breaking the law, when they use race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. to discriminate against employees. Nevertheless, every bit of education helps!)To see the PSAs, go to:
There have been quite a number of interesting products coming out this winter. Several of them deserve mentioning: Revelation Moisturizer from Estee Lauder and Primordiale Cell Defense Serum and Skin Recharge Moisturizer with SPF 15 from Lancome.I’ll look at Revelation and Cell Defense Serum in more detail.What both products have in common is that they are developed for the first signs of aging that start to appear at 30 and after. Revelation is more of a treatment product: it improves the texture, brightens and evens out tone of the skin with the help of enzymes and Vitamin C complex. Primordiale Cell Defense Serum combines prevention with treatment: it promises to provide protection against 99% of free-radicals and improve cell renewal for a brighter, smoother complexion.Revelation Age
A team of Spanish researchers has developed a germ-destroying plastic that degrades by itself once it has come to the end of its useful life.
The team from CSIC (Spanish Council for Scientific Research) sees many possibilities for the experimental procedure in the field of food packaging, although it may also have applications in medical supplies such as syringes, catheters and biosensors.
The director of the Research project, Marcos Fernández, has highlighted its commercial viability for the plastics industry.
The sought-after properties were obtained using a photo-catalyzer based on a modified titanium oxide, directly incorporated in the molding process of the plastic component.
The oxide uses sunlight as the energy source to degrade the plastic material at the end of its lifecycle.
Is Rimonabant a new anti smoking drug? Effects of Rimonabant in the Reduction of Major Cardiovascular Risk Factors. Results from the STRATUS-US Trial (Smoking Cessation in Smokers Motivated to Quit and the RIO-LIPIDS Trial (Weight Reducing and Metabolic Effects in Overweight/Obese Patients with Dyslipidemia).
Rimonabant, a selective cannabinoid type 1 receptor blocker, significantly increases smoking cessation rates and reduces weight gain associated with smoking cessation compared to placebo.
Approximately one-third of coronary heart disease is attributable to smoking. Also, because nicotine is an appetite suppressant, many patients are reluctant to stop smoking due to the associated risk of weight gain.
Repeated nicotine use can overstimulate the endocannabinoid system which regulates food intake and energy balance. The purpose of the Phase III STRATUS-US trial was to evaluate the efficacy of rimonabant in restoring balance to the endocannabinoid system, thus, inhibiting nicotine and
