This is going to be along the lines of a ‘community post’ as I feel it is relevant right now. One of the saddest things about modern day society is the way our elderly people are often left alone and isolated in their homes. Of course, while it is much better for an elderly person to remain in their own environment for as long as possible and retain their independence, it is easy for them to slip through the ropes and end up almost forgotten.

A by-product of today’s selfish society I would say. People do not watch out for each other as they used to do; neighbours keep to themselves these days more often.  If you have an ailing elderly parent, relative or neighbour and wish to help them maintain their independence by living in their own home there is a good way to ensure they get the correct treatment should they be found unconscious or even suffer a collapse while out shopping.

Buying them a piece of jewelry in the form of medical id will ensure that any medical condition they have will be clear to paramedics or medical workers. This can be in the form of a watch, bracelet or necklace and they wont feel as though they are wearing a mere ‘tag’.  In fact, anyone of any age can wear these as a form of insurance - when you cannot tell people what is wrong in an emergency you will have all your information there on you.

Jurassic desert ??

May 25, 2008 on 10:56 am | In Science Fiction Technology | No Comments

The trackprints of a herd of dinosaurs have been discovered on mud flats in Yemen and this marks the first discovery of dinosaur footprints ever found on the Arabian peninsula. Scientists know that they were made by eleven long-necked ’sauropods’ - the largest land animal in the Earth’s history which walked on four short legs and ate plants.

Previously not even bones or fossils have been found on the Arabian peninsula and now this fantastic discovery of these tracks show that dinsoaurs DID exist in this part of the world. The tracks indicate that the sauropods were following a river or waterway - scientists love finding tracks as they can tell from them just what the creatures were doing at the time, how big they were and whether they were herd creatures and how fast they moved.

This adds one more piece to the dino mystery - where did they originate and how did they come to be in certain places?

Another day in London, another death…

May 25, 2008 on 10:48 am | In Culture, Miscellaneous | No Comments

Yep, yet another teenager has been knifed to death in yet another mindless attack in London. And all over what? a mobile phone of all things. This young guy had recently filmed a part in the upcoming Harry Potter movie and at the age of eighteen was looking forward to the rest of his life…as many do. 

Unfortunately more and more young people in England are not seeing their 20th birthday; they are either stabbed, bashed or shot to death - and if they are murdered they are committing suicide with the current trend being to hang oneself. Makes you feel as though you should take out a life insurance policy just for walking down the street these days.
