BRITAIN UNDER SIEGE
For over a week now Great Britain has been under siege from the forces of nature. It started in Scotland and in the north and has since moved south and to virtually all parts of the island.
A few years ago a real estate broker sold a house to a man, telling him the floods in the area were rare and mild, which was true, until two years ago.
Wales, The South East, London, Cornwall, Scotland, The North West… The floods and storms seems to have struck completely indiscriminately this time.
Another ongoing effect of the rising ocean and Global Warming is that Britain is ceding ever more coastline to the sea every year.
Indonesia has been struck with the worst floods and storms in decades. Major parts of Africa heavy amounts of rain has caused floods and has made a considerable part of the population to become refugees in their own country.
The Storm season is usually ending in December.
The year 2001 was one of the worst years of natural disaster ever recorded.
CELL PHONE USE REDUCES BRAIN ACTIVITY
Yet another survey is confirming what most of the independent surveys have said previously: Use of cell phones are dangerous.
Even after few minutes of use adults brain activity are significantly reduced and it remains so for a long time after the use has ended. Children are even worse off. Only after two minutes their brain activity are dwindling and remains so as much as 50 minutes after the use has ended.
This survey is done by the German scientist Michael Klieeisen by the Spanish Neuron Diagnostic Research Center in Marabella.
He says that parents shouldn't allow children to use cell phones, since their brains are less developed and more prone to suffer damage.
When pressed he says that adults shouldn't permit themselves to use it either. They're really playing hazard with their health.
