Editor's note: Former Kenya Navy serviceman James Kahia, currently working in Israel, has shared his expert opinion on the recovery mission of a woman and daughter who plunged in the Indian Ocean after their car slid from MV Harambee ferry.
He insinuates that the recovery mission is next to impossible given the odds the search personnel are facing. He debunked a lot of myths and neutralised expectations of many Kenyans about the rescue mission basing on his experience.
Here are his thoughts exclusively shared with TUKO.co.ke:
I decided to write this article after seeing questionable stories being spread among Kenyans. I felt it's our duty, those who got the knowledge to try and break it down for Kenyans.
I do it on behalf of the highly trained navy soldiers who cannot speak due to the rules binding them.

For this case study, I will use 198 fsw (feet of sea water) with 57 meters as the average depth.
To ensure that we all have an easier understanding, I will break my reasoning on why I think this mission is near impossible into small sub-topics

1. Pressure and human body adaptability
On the surface at sea level, the human body is subjected to 1 ata (one atmospheric pressure) while at 198 fsw (57 metres deep) the body is subjected to seven ata.
At this pressure, the body is at risk of Nitrogen Narcosis, which is a euphoric state (drunkenness).
During both decent and ascent, a diver is at risk of Baratrauma (injury caused by increased air or water pressure), also during ascent, if proper rates are not observed, both Pneumothorax or Arterial Gas Embolism (AGE) are likely to occur.
An arterial gas embolism (AGE) occurs when a bubble of gas causes a blockage of blood supply to the heart, brain, or other vital body tissues.

2. Temperatures
Below depths of 80fsw, temperatures fall drastically as you go down to near freezing point. This inhibits a diver's performance even when on a wet dive suit.
READ ALSO: Kenyan newspapers review for October 7: Dredging works on despite stop orders by Raila Odinga
3. Time at Depth
For scuba diving at 198 fsw, no decompression dive, a diver has only five minutes to work at the bottom hence accomplishing very little, almost nothing considering other adverse factors.
Beyond five minutes at the bottom, a diver risks suffering from decompression sickness which is caused by a general rapid decrease in air or water pressure.
4. Ocean Currents
Being a gateway, the Likoni channel experiences strong underwater currents which might have carried away the vehicle to a different location
This, therefore posses a great risk of vitality for divers in this operation.
5. Darkness
Darkness in the water is caused by strong currents coupled with a muddy sea bottom which creates murky waters.
With reduced visibility to near nil, divers cannot see and in extreme cases, (are) compelled to rely on the sense of touch or spotlights.
6. Kilindini Channel
Serving the bigger Eastern and Central African, Mombasa Port is the busiest port in the region hence the Likoni Gate.
Dive and marine vehicle passage cannot occur simultaneously and if you have a wise guess, your answer will be as good as mine on what takes precedence.
Conclusion and personal opinion
With the aforementioned facts and my diving professional experience, I will be vindicated to say the mission is very difficult even with the deployment of Remote Controlled Underwater Vehicles.
With all due respect, navy soldiers are brothers, sons and husbands of this soil and should not risk losing more souls trying to ignore diving biggest rule; safety first.
I wish them all the best as they give their best and condolence to the grieving family.

One of the common questions about all collectables is about authenticity. For some things, there are factories of forgery artists. Most paintings are not reproduced and known in detail by large numbers of people. In the following two examples, for instance, which is the forgery and which is the original? If the original was (a) widely know and (b) reproduced and in everyone's possession, you could tell. If you do not have that information, you simply cannot tell.
Comic and illustration art is different in that the original art is detailed and complex, usually filled with unique imperfection that few have seen in person, and it has been printed in thousands and thousands of identical copies at low resolution on bleed-friendly newsprint. In other words, the original art is not widely available, and the art that is available does not contain all the information you need to reproduce the original – and so it is damned difficult to figure out how to lay down the hundreds and hundreds of pen lines and brush strokes that it takes to end up with the poor reproduction that everyone has in front of them.
Some nice examples, from the Kirby Museum, are given here.
This is the published page 1 from Fantastic Four #48:
Is this the original art?
Is it not a bad job. As you will see, below, original art pages are never ever this "clean" around the edges. But even at this poor resolution, these two pages look completely different to me.
Take a look at the face of the Johnny Storm (taken from the image files above… and reading faces is much easier when they are right-side-up):
The image on the right (as printed in thousands of comic books) is not derived from the ink art on the left. Period. The differences are not at all subtle.
Here is another example:
The line quality, angles, spacing, etc., are all off. Again, the image on the right, as printed, cannot be derived from the one of the left. It was an attempted forgery and easily detected.
Now take a look at this page from Captain America #201:
You can see a few remarks, guidelines, and blue lines. But more to the point, there can be no doubt that the image on the left was copied and colored to give the one on the right. Every spacing, all line qualities, every angle… it's a true copy derived from the original.
And many pages of original art are much more highly remarked. From Fantastic Four #63 and Thor #152.

Formula One leader Nico Rosberg has grabbed pole position at the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps with Mercedes team mate and title rival Lewis Hamilton alongside on the front row after a wet qualifying session.
Red Bull's four-times world champion Sebastian Vettel, last year's winner at the circuit in the Ardennes forests, qualified in third place and was joined on the second row by Ferrari's Fernando Alonso.
Rosberg leads 2008 world champion Hamilton by 11 points after 11 of 19 races.
The pole was Rosberg's seventh of the season, with dominant Mercedes taking 11 of the 12 so far, fourth in a row and 11th of his Formula One career.
It was also his first at Spa in typically tricky conditions and reinforced his team's pace, with Rosberg's pole time of two minutes 05.591 seconds comparing to Vettel's best lap of 2:07.717 - a hefty margin.
Hamilton, a winner in Belgium in 2010, had been quickest in the second phase of qualifying and the front row start, while not pole, at least ended a long run of qualifying setbacks.
Australian Daniel Ricciardo, winner in Hungary, qualified fifth for Red Bull with Finland's Valtteri Bottas alongside in a Williams.
Danish rookie Kevin Magnussen was seventh for McLaren with Ferrari's four times Spa winner Kimi Raikkonen eighth and Brazilian Felipe Massa ninth for Williams.

Some believe they have caught a glimpse of the afterlife, others claim to have floated above their body, watching as medics save their lives.
But the reality of near-death experiences may be much more prosaic.
Research suggests that far from being a brush with the afterlife, they are caused by a rush of electrical activity in the dying brain.
In experiments on rats whose hearts had stopped, the pattern of activity was similar to that seen when the animals were fully conscious.
A mysterious surge of brain activity observed in dying rats may explain reports of near-death-experiences. Even after the animals' hearts stopped beating and no blood was reaching their brains, they appeared to show signs of conscious perception, said the scientists
However, the signals were up to eight times stronger. The researchers said that the discovery that the brain is highly active in the seconds after the heart stops suggests that the phenomenon has a physical, rather than spiritual nature.
It has been argued that the dying brain is incapable of such complex activity and so near-death experiences must have their origins in the soul.
It suggests something happens at the brink of death that pushes the conscious brain to a high level of arousal, potentially triggering the visions and sensations associated with near-death experiences (NDEs).
As many as a fifth of people who survive cardiac arrests report having had an other-worldly experience while being 'clinically' dead.
Typically NDEs involve travelling through a tunnel towards an intense light, being separated from the body, encountering long-departed loved ones or angels and undergoing some kind of judgment of 'life review.
Some emerge from NDEs as transformed individuals with a completely altered outlook on life, or a new belief in religion.
But many scientists believe near-death-experiences are nothing more than hallucinations induced by the effect of the brain shutting down.
As many as a fifth of people who survive cardiac arrests report having had an other-worldly experience while being 'clinically' dead. Dr Jimo Borjigin, from the University of Michigan, said the study tells us reduction of oxygen during cardiac arrest can stimulate brain activity that is characteristic of conscious processing
The new research involved recording the electrical nerve impulses of anaesthetised rats whose hearts were artificially stopped.
Within 30 seconds after suffering a cardiac arrest, all the animals displayed a short-lived surge of widespread, highly synchronised brain activity.
'We were surprised by the high levels of activity,' said Dr George Mashour, one of the US researchers from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
'In fact, at near-death many known electrical signatures of consciousness exceeded levels found in the waking state, suggesting that the brain is capable of well-organised electrical activity during the early stage of clinical death.'
Near death experiences involve travelling through a tunnel towards an intense light, being separated from the body, encountering long-departed loved ones or angels
The findings are reported in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Previously it was assumed that brain activity ceases when the heart stops.
Lead scientist Dr Jimo Borjigin, also from the University of Michigan, said: 'This study tells us that reduction of oxygen or both oxygen and glucose during cardiac arrest can stimulate brain activity that is characteristic of conscious processing.'
'It also provides the first scientific framework for the near-death experiences reported by many cardiac arrest survivors.'
However, other scientists have been cautious that the study might shed light on the human condition at the moment of death.
Dr Chris Chambers, Senior Research Fellow at Cardiff University, admitted it is tempting to draw a link between a surge of neural activity and consciousness but there are two barriers to doing so.
'The first is that we don't know to what extent rats experience consciousness at all, so we don't know what the activity means.
'Second, even if rats are conscious, to conclude from their brain activity alone that these bursts of activity reflect consciousness would be a logical fallacy known as reverse inference.
'To overcome these limitations we would need to run a study in humans and relate the changes in activity to what they report about their conscious experience.'

Jaipur Pink Panthers vs Gujarat Fortunegiants Match Preview, Team News, Lineups
Pro Kabaddi League 2018 | Jaipur Pink Panthers vs Gujarat Fortunegiants
It is a battle between a side who have already made it to the playoffs, i.e.Gujarat Fortunegiants and a side which are about to close their disappointing season, Jaipur pink Panthers.
This would be the final collision between these two sides this year and Jaipur will look to win it all in their remaining encounters.
Let us have a brief view on the last two games which took place between the two sides this season.
The Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex in Mumbai played the host for the 45th game and the first battle between these two sides.
The scoreline favored Gujarat Fortunegiants by 36-25 where their premier raider Sachin got them going with 6 raiders, whereas the skipper Sunil Kumar ended up collecting a whopping 8 points mark.
For Jaipur Pink Panthers, Nitin Rawal was the key raider with 4 points whereas Young Chang Ko who featured in his first game this season ended up with a high 5 to his name.
Their second meeting took place three days back at the same venue. That was the 116th game of the season and once again the result was same as Gujarat Fortunegiants yet again clinched the game with a scoreline of 34-29.
Well, there were no surprises in the raid department as Sachin yet again was holding the torch for his side with 7 raid points, and in defence Ruturaj Koravi had the last laugh with a high 5.
For Jaipur, it was Deepak Niwas Hooda who carried his team with 8 raid points whereas, Sandeep Kumar Dhull was the pick of the defenders with 3 tackle points.
Let us delve into the JAI vs GUJ Dream11 predicted seven, team news, and squads;
When: December 19, 09:00 PM, IST
Jaipur Pink Panthers: WWDLW
Gujarat Fortunegiants: LWWWW
Jaipur Pink Panthers: Anup Kumar(c), Lokesh Kaushik, Deepak Niwas Hooda, Santhapanaselvam, Mohit Chhillar, Sandeep Kumar Dhull, David Shilisia J Mosambayi, K. Selvamani, Bajirao Hodage, Young Chang Ko, N. Shiva Ramakrishna, Anand Patil, Ajit Singh, Gangadhari Mallesh, Nitin Rawal, Brijendra Singh Chaudhary, Ashok Kumar, Sunil Siddhgavali, Amit Kumar.
Gujarat Fortunegiants: Sunil Kumar(c), Ruturaj Shivaji Koravi, Hadi Oshtorak, Anil, Sachin Vittala, Shubham Ashok, Lalit Chaudhary, Mahendra Ganesh Rajput, Yashwant Bishnoi, K Prapanjan, Dong Geon Lee, Rohit Gulia, C Kalai Arasan, Parvesh Bhainswal, Ajay Kumar, Dharmender, Amit, Vikram Kandola, Sachin, Amit Jaivir Sharma.
Gujarat Fortunegiants: Parvesh Bhainswal, Ruturaj Koravi, K Prapanjan, Sachin, Dong Geon Lee, Sunil Kumar, Sachin Vittala.
Jaipur Pink Panthers: Deepak Niwas Hooda, Santhapanaselvam, Sandeep Kumar Dhull, Young Chang Ko, Sunil Siddhgavali, K Selvamani, Ajinkya Pawar.
Defenders: Parvesh Bhainswal is standing tall for Gujarat this season with 70+ tackle points to his name, Ruturaj Koravi is also a safe bet in this facet.
From Jaipur, the impetus would be on Sandeep Kumar Dhull and Sunil Siddhgavali.
All-rounders: Deepak Niwas Hooda closed the last night with 12 raid points and remains the cornerstone of Jaipur raids this season.
Sunil Kumar is yet another dependable option in this facet with 60+ tackle points to his name.
Raiders: Sachin and K Prapanjan are the top raiders for Gujarat this season and will once again be the star prospects in this game.
Ajinkya Pawar who returned 5 raid points last night is also a considerable option.

The EU has implemented the SI / metric system of units of measurement for all economic, public health, public safety and administrative purposes. Post-Brexit, to deviate from the metric system would introduce significant barriers to trade, adversely affect the free movement of goods and undermine the UK's position as a signatory to the Metre Convention.
The impact of Brexit on UK Notified Bodies, whether providing product certification, quality management system certification or initial qualification of weighing and measuring instruments, cannot be overstated.
Depending on what happens post-Brexit, we could see job losses in the regulatory and conformity assessment bodies, slower access to new technologies, an end to data sharing, and a loss of influence over regulatory policy.
Our economy is built upon principles and confidence in accurate measurement, with more than £600bn worth of goods sold by reference to their mass, quantity or volume in the UK every year.
Leaving the EU creates a one-off opportunity to delayer, modernise and simplify our regime for verifying and testing weighing and measuring equipment – and to create a more proportionate and flexible enforcement regime for legal metrology.
However, remaining as far as possible aligned to the EU market post-Brexit would be the best possible option for UK businesses and consumers from the metrology perspective. It would also be best for the profile, status and influence of the UK as a leading nation in metrology.
Key Findings
It is difficult to see how Brexit can have anything other than a detrimental effect on metrology. It presents more risks than opportunities and is likely to adversely affect UK businesses and consumers, and weaken the influence of the UK government from a policy perspective.
The e-mark allows free movement of UK goods across the borders of EU Member States. It is unclear how this 'metrological passport' will operate post-Brexit, with the possibility that UK produce may not be accepted in EU markets if recognition is withdrawn. Therefore, if e-marking of prepackaged products is no longer permissible post-Brexit, UK producers face the very real prospect of additional costs in placing their goods on the EU market. These could include administrative delays, additional inspection and certification costs and/or tariff barriers.
Brexit presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a fit-for-purpose trading standards system for legal metrology. CTSI calls on the government to establish one that is properly resourced.
IN FOCUS: Measuring up
Post-Brexit, a divergence from the existing legal arrangements governing the use of units of measurement, the regulation of weighing and measuring instruments and quantity control systems would be isolationist. It would also create increased costs and uncertainty for businesses and consumers.
In addition, it would significantly undermine the likelihood of striking new trade deals with non-European countries. The vast majority of developed and emerging non-EU economies use the existing legal arrangements currently employed in Europe.
The impact of local authority cuts on weights and measures inspections cannot be overestimated. Chronic underfunding and a lack of prioritisation and direction has seen the surveillance of an annual £622bn economic function reduced to a position of assumed compliance with negligible regulatory checks.

Due to concerns about COVID-19, AAUP office has transitioned to telework. Please contact staff by email.
On Saturday, August 10, the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication sponsored a panel on academic freedom and the First Amendment. AAUP senior associate general secretary Martin Snyder was a panelist at the event, which was held at the Newseum in Washington, DC.
Snyder spoke about what journalists can expect when they transition from working in media to working in academia, teaching journalism or media. The First Amendment, which many media veterans are well familiar with, is not the same as academic freedom, though they have some similarities. Academic freedom is not guaranteed to be a legally enforceable right; it is a principle that the AAUP and others seek to promote. On the other hand, Snyder explained, it can apply equally in public and private institutions in a way the First Amendment does not.
Other presenters on the panel were Ronald K. L. Collins (Law, University of Washington), Dwight E. Brooks (Mass Communication, Middle Tennessee State University), and Ingrid Sturgis (Communications, Howard University).

Imagine how many lives could be changed if this video were required viewing. Garlic, onions, spinach, kale, broccoli and the like could change the trajectory and course and quality of our lives in this country and around the world. My father's friend's daughter passed away from pediatric brain cancer and I can't help but wonder if she was fed a very poor diet leading to her death. This stuff is life and death, I believe.
Does the garlic have to be eaten raw to maintain its anti-cancer properties or can it be cooked?
Great question.
Yes. Good question. I would also like to know if beets are still nutritious cancer fighters once they've been pickled?
'Conclusion: Our results suggest a potential 50% higher risk of gastric cancer associated with intake of pickled vegetables/foods and perhaps stronger associations in Korea and China.'
What about the probiotics found in sauerkraut? Trying to balance the harmful pickled vegetables with the benefits of probiotics.
I am not sure but this old Chinese study found that pickled vegetables appear to have a carcinogenic effect, at least in a Petri dish
And this Iranian study found an association between pickle consumption and obesity and high blood pressure.
As for probiotics, why not concentrate on prebiotics instead?
That is fascinating that pickled foods would be linked to obesity.
High blood pressure makes sense with all of the sodium, but I don't associate pickled foods with obesity.
Pregnant women and McDonalds and delis are my association.
I am glad you said it again because I just had pickles recently for the first time in years and might have incorporated them in. I almost bought some, but looked at the sodium and stopped.
Yes, it is odd but it is only an association. The link may not be causal.
On the other hand, links between obesity and pickled vegetable consumption have also been found in Chinese populations:
It may be that the sodium/salt in pickled vegetables is actually the problem
Sauerkraut isn't actually pickled but fermented. It's a different process all together
I ended up watching the best cooking method video again because of your question.
Glad I did because I had forgotten that if you eat 7 florets of boiled broccoli, it is the same antioxidant value as 6 florets of raw broccoli. Just add a floret.
Bell peppers are the ones which you need to eat raw. Looks like garlic can be cooked.
I also forgot that celery was like carrots and tomato. Cooking them added to their value.
Boiling was the worst way, except for sweet potatoes, I think.
Boy, those cooking videos are ones I need to watch over and over again, but hearing I can just add a floret of broccoli makes me happy.
I started eating my onions raw from Dr. Fuhrman's advice. I am not ready for raw garlic.
Healthier yet and more anti-carcinogenic might be raw frozen broccoli sprouts. This way you get maximum sulphurophanes…
IIRC, the researcher dripped extracts of the raw vegetables onto the cancer cells in a pitri dish. From other videos, the magic effects do make it into the bloodstream because dripping the blood of people who ate the vegetables had the same effect. They didn't test cooked that I know of. So maybe and maybe not.
Not according to Dr Gregers research: See this"-
Sidney, MD – Hi! Regarding the cooked vs raw question. . . . The allicin in garlic (the good stuff) is activated when the cells in the garlic are broken open and the two components (I'm sorry I'm now drawing a blank as to their names) combine – this is what makes garlic so healthy. If you press, smash, mince, or somehow crush the cells and allow the garlic to sit for 10 minutes the chemicals combine and give, then, garlic it's compounds that are so healing/protective to us. If you think about it, this crushing mimics chewing. I don't know about you, but as much as I just love garlic I would have a hard time chewing it. Anyway, after you let the components mix for about 10 minutes the chemical reaction is complete and you can then cook the garlic and retain its good stuff.
I got this information from Jo Robinson's book "Eating on The Wild Side" which I recommend to everyone on this site. It's a wonderfully complimentary book to Dr. Greger's information on this site. Here's a link:
Yes raw is best, after a few minutes of cooking, the allicin is destroyed.
Love this version. I was a little leery of Flashback Friday when it started, but I'm a convert now. Had to go back and stop on the charts to look at the data a little closer, there was so much included. Interesting was how green beans did, made me wonder if there is any research similar to this on legumes. Guess I have to do some searches on legumes and watch some more videos on this site now.
Great information, thanks for sharing!
As I was watching I couldn't help but wonder if all those graphs had been compiled into a simple one page summary. Vegetable on the X axis, cancer type on the Y axis, and the color from red to green indicating the effectiveness against the cancer lines on the body of the chart?
Information is beautiful!
This is not good news for those of us who need to eat foods low in FODMAP, which rules out garlic and onions. Wish Dr. Greger had included those of us with GERD and other digestive issues that require us to avoid these things.
FODMAP diet itself is not good news. From Wiki, click link for studies referenced:
A low-FODMAP diet might help to improve short-term digestive symptoms in adults with irritable bowel syndrome, but its long-term follow-up can have negative effects because it causes a detrimental impact on the gut microbiota and metabolome. It should only be used for short periods of time and under the advice of a specialist. More studies are needed to evaluate its effectiveness in children with irritable bowel syndrome. There is only a little evidence of its effectiveness in treating functional symptoms in inflammatory bowel disease from small studies which are susceptible to bias. More studies are needed to assess the true impact of this diet on health. In addition, the use of a low-FODMAP diet without medical advice can lead to serious health risks, including nutritional deficiencies and misdiagnosis, so it is advisable to conduct a complete medical evaluation before starting a low-FODMAP diet to ensure a correct diagnosis and that the appropriate therapy can be undertaken. Since the consumption of gluten is suppressed or reduced with a low-FODMAP diet, the improvement of the digestive symptoms with this diet may not be related to the withdrawal of the FODMAPs, but of gluten, indicating the presence of an unrecognized celiac disease, avoiding its diagnosis and correct treatment, with the consequent risk of several serious health complications, including various types of cancer.
A low-FODMAP diet is highly restrictive in various groups of nutrients, can be impractical to follow in the long-term and may add an unnecessary financial burden.
Also GERD has been addressed several times. A quick search using the box at the top of the page brings up:
Good posts RB. Thanks.
Lida – I thought I'd just share that the information in this video was taken directly from research published and Dr. G simply reported the findings. So he would not have been able to fine tune it to FODMAP situations – or any other for that matter – that different from the research presented. You can look at the research directly if you go to this site: https://www.chrisbeatcancer.com/ There is a link on this site where you can view the research directly to see if anything there addresses your situation more fully. I tried to view the research off of this site but it was behind a paywall. Chris, on his site, has the research displayed for all to see.
Good luck to you.
I like everything about this one except – it could be much simpler. Why not simply state what veggie is better? Brevity is the soul of wit. Or it used to be anyways.
Oh yeah, just remembered my major issue with spinach is the oxalates. These can cause kidney stones, and other deposits throughout the body. Unless you are getting certain binding minerals simultaneously.
Wait! was this a Dr. Greger impersonator? It was great!
Did the study use fresh garlic or garlic powder. I'm wondering if garlic powder work, or if the garlic must be fresh.
Anne – you can access the research on this site: https://www.chrisbeatcancer.com/
When you find your answer, perhaps you could share it with the rest of the folks on this site.
Was the video remake done by a Dr. Greger impersonator? It was great!!
Would love to see a video like this on anticancer fruit. Thank you Dr. Greger for all that you do.
Every morning I make a smoothie with Kale, Broccoli, and Cauliflower. Now I also add strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, banana, and some coconut water, that way I ensure to get those veggies to start the day.
I can actually feel myself getting younger…LOL
I like the format of this video very much. Yes, it may be simplifying things somewhat but there are reviews of studies for those who want detailed data.
Has a similar presentation been used with Diabetes 2?
I would encourage the production of similar videos for all major health concerns!
This is amazingly simple format that is profound and life changing for many people. I think this maybe the best video you've ever done, because it shows the contrast of what people eat with what they could eat, in a setting they might actually eat it. It's like the one on antioxidants capacity of food but this one seems to easily digested (pun)
Love it.
Oh yes this is slightly off topic but how bad is silicone dioxide and sulfur dioxide, they add to ground spices like paprika , cumin, ginger?
Great information. Unfortunately the study is not freely accessible. It would be nice to have more complete information available to help guide choices.
I am wondering what is known about the mechanisms at work that would account for why some particular food works better for some cancers than others or why e.g. bok choy is the 'odd cruciferous vegetable' out.
Always more to learn.
Hey,don't forget to crush your garlic and let it sit for a while (I think for 30 minutes) before adding to your food.
Ruth – from 1 Ruth to another, :-), 10 minutes to let garlic sit will give the garlic plenty of time to make its good stuff. When I cook, I press my garlic immediately and let it sit while I'm working on other aspects of a recipe. By the time I need to use it, it's ready to go. The timing information can be found in Jo Robinson's book Eating On the Wild Side. http://www.eatwild.com/PDF%20files/Eating%20On%20The%20Wild%20Side_3.pdf It's a great little book.
I was curious about the word "superfood" so I did a search, and didn't really like what I found. Wiki states: "The purported health benefits and effects of foods described as superfoods are unsupported or disputed by scientific studies.[1]"
Hopefully, some reader here will see to it to update the Wiki.
No one up to the challenge?
How many god damned times do I need to subscribe
Over and over ———————-
Check your spam folder maybe?
You can read this site without subscribing, y'know.
Know I think he is actually talking about how the site ask for his info before he post a question maybe. It used to do that every time until I had it save and remember it.
Oh, you mean way down at the bottom where he forgot to check the little box in front of: "Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment."
To repeat Anne's question, "Will garlic powder provide the same or close to the same benefits as using the whole plant?" Thanks to anyone who knows…and tells.
Yours is a good question and I tried to find a clear answer with limited success. It's complicated because to quote one source;"Garlic supplements differ in bioavailability of key phytochemicals." It appears that while several studies have looked at garlic's cancer-fighting powers, the ones that were based on whole, dietary intake (the epidemiological ones) showed more promise than the interventional studies using garlic powder or supplement. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4366009/ Garlic powder is produced by crushing and drying the garlic which may affect beneficial effect.
I found an intriguing article pointing at a future research study looking at your exact question, but was unsuccessful in tracking down that study (Perhaps not completed yet?) I will attempt to track this down, but in the meantime, remembering how often supplements v whole foods fail to deliver, eating the garlic as a food v supplement seems warranted.
Aren't radishes considered cruciferous vegetables? Either way, they look like they perform fairly well too.
Dear Dr, Greger,
so happy you're finally speaking slower :-) please keep it up like this. Thank you.
Excellent video Dr Greger, I agree with BChristine, I enjoyed the format
As a child (1950's) my grandparents insisted that the grandkids eat buttered toast with a heaping amount of crushed garlic twice a week from the first snowfall until early April. Must have worked as my siblings or I never had colds. Went back to doing this years ago and have seldom been sick with upper respiratory illness.
Question about the veggies. Started to have some digestive problems doctor said might be age related etc. Found a European Market and started eating what could be best be described as Eastern European fermented (not pickled) veggies, slaws red cabbage and sauerkraut. Grew up eating these things, and added them back to my diet along with the usual regular fresh/frozen veggies. My stomach problems disappeared. My question is: Do fermented veggies still contain the cancer fighting abilities of fresh/frozen?
I am guilty of not consuming enough of these allium vegetables because of how they leave my breath smelling! Does anyone have a solution for that? I use them for cooking but there are several days when there is only time to make a smoothie and no time to cook!
aI feel like I used to have that problem, in fact all of my life when I ate garlic, I had that problem, but it went away.
I wonder what happened.
I had stopped eating it and now I can eat it again.
Gut bacteria? Tea neutralizing it? Better mouth and throat microbiome?
For me beans used to cause gas and both onions and garlic started bothering me enough to not eat them and now I can.
I have been seeing commercials on corn oil being better than olive oil in terms of health. I'd like to hear the doctor address oils with some of his usual great research.
Why would you consume oil at all? Oil isn't a "whole food." I view it as being like sugar–an extract that is relatively worthless. Why would you not eat olives? or corn? Consumption of olives or corn would add the benefits of any fiber, vitamins, minerals, etc., but consumption of oil would add none of that to your diet.
WFPBLisa – I'm with you, oil is a highly processed product (I intentionally do not use the word food – because it isn't. Just because one can swallow it doesn't mean it is a healthy food, imo :-). I thought I'd add to your comment by sharing that it takes approximately 44 olives to yield 1 tablespoon of olive oil. As much as I love olives and consume them I'd be hard pressed to eat 44 of them in one sitting. If I'm wanting a semblance of olive oil for some reason, I will blend a few whole olives in either some of the brine that they come in or the bean liqueur from canned beans or other medium. The bean liqueur makes a very reasonable foundation for an "olive oil" salad dressing or sauce. One can add other typical salad dressing components such as mustard and honey (for a honey-mustard dressing), Italian herbs for a Italian salad dressing, etc. This way one can get the luscious flavor of the olive without overly consuming too much olive oil.
Dr. Greger has address the oil issue numerous times on this site – check the Search function for information on this. Dr. Greger advocates that we consume whole foods only, not refined products. Oil is a highly refined product. And once it has gone rancid it is deadly.
Have a great day everyone!
Olives are a processed food; they are too bitter to eat as harvested. I don't know what effect this has on olive nutrients. "All olives, whether green or black, require processing before they can be eaten…Depending on the curing method, pure water, caustic soda or lye, and coarse salt are used. Flavorings can be added to the brine. Among the favorites are red pepper or a variety of Mediterranean herbs for black olives and lemon or hot green peppers or chilies for green olives. Fennel, wine vinegar, or garlic can be used to add interest to any olive, but the time required for the olives to take on these flavors can range from a week for whole chilies to several months for a more subtle taste like the herb fennel." (http://www.madehow.com/Volume-5/Olives.html#ixzz5iMjRkfyD)
And olive oil is made from untreated freshly harvested olives, which are cleaned and washed, ground into a paste, and the paste mixed, possibly with added water; the oil is separated from the mix by centrifugation. (https://www.oliveoilsource.com/page/extraction-process) The cold pressed oil retains a lot of the oil-soluble phytonutrients, especially some polyphenols.
Glenn, I don't think the good doc is an oil man.
Glenn, Dr Greger has addressed the topic of oils many times throughout the years. You can use the search feature of the site to check out particular topics, or start here :
Here ia a video about the deleterious effects of olive oil https://nutritionfacts.org/video/olive-oil-and-artery-function/
As Liisa and YR have mentioned, Dr Greger does not promote the use of oils, and does not include their use on the Daily Dozen. ( There are videos about that too)
I have seen in an old video interview where he was asked which oil he would use if he ansolutely had to use one, and he said at the time, organic cold pressed canola..(probably due to the good omega 3vto 6 ratio) but make no mistake, he has not made any statements to say that it's beneficial to add oils to your diet.
I rhink that this claim is based on studies like those summarised in the AHA's scientific report on dietary fats and cardiovascular disease which concluded
'We judge the evidence to favor recommending n-6 polyunsaturated fat, that is, linoleic acid, stronger than monounsaturated fat to replace saturated fat because of the positive results of randomized clinical trials that used polyunsaturated fat compared with the paucity of trials that used monounsaturated fat10; the greater relative risk reduction for polyunsaturated fats in observational studies12,17,18; the greater reduction in LDL cholesterol with polyunsaturated fat4; and the regression of atherosclerosis in nonhuman primates by polyunsaturated but not monounsaturated fat'
However, I don't think that oils are desirable in the diet. Nevertheless, if people want to use them, I think that Dr Greger has said that canola oil is probably the best choice … or, rather, the least worst choice for cooking
'Foods that are deep-fried in oil produce toxic volatile carcinogenic compounds, and deep-frying foods in an unventilated area in the house can put people at risk from the air pollution it causes. The worst oil to deep-fry with is coconut oil, which should not be used in any case, and the least toxic was found to be canola, with safflower and extra virgin olive oil in between.'
The study, kindly provided by Tom Goff, is extremely interesting and useful. I would note a couple of things: 1. the in vitro studies were done using raw juice extracts (showing the importance of preparing cruciferous and allium foods properly as described by Dr. Greger in other videos), 2. water insoluble molecules like lycopene and beta-carotene were not in the extracts, possibly accounting at least in part for their general lack of effectiveness, 3. even an overall very poor performer like orange bell pepper (0 /-1%) was respectably effective at inhibiting prostate cancer cell proliferation (~75%), underscoring the advisability of eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables as stressed in the article, and 4. brussel sprouts had the highest concentration of glucosinolates (which get converted to the protective isothiocyanates with proper preparation).
gengo-gakusha, yes, I read through the study as well. I have been reading about how people loved this video, and so do I. But I do have a couple of reservations about it. one is that I have noticed on NutritionFacts that people still hold to the supplement idea and want the short easy answer … ie eat this food, and you're good. This is why I appreciate your comments today reminding us that the study was in vitro, in petrie dishes, using extracts and not in human beings. And also that Dr Greger devised the Daily Dozen with all the years of reporting these studies in mind. Eating that variety of nutritious foods plus exercise works together to deliver the best result. Pass the sprouts please!
What about the vegetables that had results of over 100%? Did they promote cancer growth, and should one be cautious?
Why would ANY veggie "promote cancer growth"? Sure, the carnies claim veggies will kill us because they have weapons on their little bod to protect themselves from getting eaten. But farm and wild animals run when they're chased, and try to save themselves from dying too. It's a killer world we live in! As we're finding out, day by day. :-(
I can't imagine being cautious about any vegetable, but then whaddo I know! The only thing I'm certain of, veggie-wise, is I never liked parsnips when I was a kid. But I think I'll try them again; I hear they're good baked in the oven.
Am I seeing purple brussel sprouts in that photo? I… want those.
So tomato didn't suppress cancer more than 50% but they're amazing foods for other things including heart health. Love this video except it kinda sheds an unjustifiable light of pointlessness on some of these other extraordinary foods. Regardless, I loved this video before and was great watching it again.
In regards to the onions, are those still protective against cancer when cooked? I know that unlike garlic, when onions are cooked they lose their cardiovascular benefits, but what about their cancer fighting properties?
I wonder about the specific varieties of each vegetable. For example, it says "onions", "cabbage", and "kale". Does that include red onions, yellow onions, and white onions? Does it include red cabbage or lacinato kale?
Matt, I suggest you scroll up to find Mr Fumblefingers post where he has given the link for the download of the study. It makes for interesting reading, and you can see what vegetables were prepared for the testing. In that trial, mature white onions were used, so that's what the results refer to. Other colours were not tested, and therefore we don't know. Remember though, this is just an experiment they did with vegetable extracts on cancer cells in petri dishes. It isn't a trial of people eating vegies.
If you haven't seen it, daily dozen checklist is a great reminder for us to be eating a variety of plant foods on a regular basis. https://nutritionfacts.org/video/dr-gregers-daily-dozen-checklist/
Matt, I should have added that I did try to repost Mr Fumblefingers link several times but no luck! And further to your question, whatever varieties of veg you enjoy and will eat is what will work. I did notice that even humble green onions did great, as did cabbage. They referred to curley leaf cabbage (would that be savoy?) that did well also. In general though, Dr Greger has encouraged us to eat the most colourful foods we can in all categories.
The word on the street (internet videos) is that, OMG, a gal who was making big bucks from her own vegan website was filmed chowing down on FISH at a restaurant! Hmmm…..does Dr. G. himself sneak a little chicken wing now and again? Who really knows! :-)
YR, much bigger deal if she was an actual vegan… in Dr. Greger's case, wouldn't be such a big deal because he recommends WFPB eating for health reasons and said himself you could have anything once a year due to the body's ability to repair itself but that the constant inflicted injury is the problem. Still, I would doubt he ever goes that far, I couldn't picture it. A self-proclaimed vegan eating an animal product is a disgrace as that's a moral/ethical issue, so that's pretty sickening if that's the case. I've never heard of the girl.
I always wondered, why doesn't doctor Greger include mushrooms as a separate group in the daily dozen?
With the Ergothioneine having a specific carrier in the human body and exclusive acces to mitochondria? What's he's train off thought for not including them?
Eating mushrooms may reduce the risk of cognitive decline
Ergothioneine: A New Vitamin?
I think all the information he gives is so that we know what the best things are to eat and he probably wants to keep his daily recommendations simple and open and not too difficult to accomplish. Some people might not find it palatable to eat mushrooms everyday or possible and it might make some people just give up if they can't accomplish the checklist.
Because the daily 13 doesn't sound as good.
Plus, that is a weekly study not daily.
He could add weekly wonders and put garlic, onions, mushrooms, etc.
I liked the study. More than 2 setvings per week.
I think S is on point but it would be good to learn his view on mushrooms. Dr. Fuhrman includes mushrooms in his mnemonic 'GBOMBS' (greens, beans, onions, berries, seeds) but overall his and Dr. Greger's recommendations are closely aligned. I eat them virtually everyday, alternating types.
The studies cite yellow onions, but what about red onions? Anyone know if red onions have the same health benefits? I always buy red onions thinking the red gave more benefits than yellow or white due to their red color.
In his video "Stopping cancer before it starts" Dr. Greger talks about two studies where they put excrement and urine on bacteria from both meat eaters and vegans. Does anyone knows what studies he was referring too? Any titles, links, a nutritionfacts video? Much appreciated.
Red onions are indeed better because they hold extra secondary compounds compared to the white ones like anthocyanin (that gives the purpleness).
I've always heard red onions are indeed healthier, so that's the kind I've been buying.
That Happy Healthy Vegan couple, however, avoid both onions and garlic. I happened to see one of their recent videos where they explained why.
YR, omg that video was annoying, I saw it too. I like them, they seem like really nice, cool people, but their explanation was ridiculous and her idea that she could smell anyone who ate onions or garlic was just stupid… literally just not thoughtful at all. So you smell onion or garlic on one person and you assume that everyone else in your life who you "don't smell" do not eat onions and garlic? Dear god.
I think I saw it, but the video I saw was that he developed BO from them, so they didn't use them, but we're going to have someone readjust their recipes for people who want them.
I think they were just trying to explain why they left garlic and onions out.
I didn't find it annoying. I feel like they made a cookbook without using garlic or onions and people kept asking them why.
She made a rude comment in the video I'm referring to, Deb. She basically told people they could eat garlic and onions if they want to smell bad. I find that tactlessness incredibly annoying and also was annoyed at such a silly perspective possibly negating people away from eating foods that could actually save their lives.
So I was just putting some frozen white button mushrooms white precut frozen garlic pieces into the microwave to top my pasta with avocado and black peper sauce. And I just discovered that the mushroom+garlic combo tastes like bacon! A distinct bacon flavour.
Anyone here who has an idea about possible flavour compounds in both that could explain for the coincidence?
Were they smoked? I haven't had "bacon" since before the age of 9 but I remember the general flavor (doesn't hurt that I've had veggie bacon) and often when I eat something with a smoky flavor it's reminiscent of bacon to me.
This is a great video, but can the veggies be cooked? I make a lot of soups and use a ton on onions and garlic, does that hurt the benefit at all? Also, I do not use fresh garlic.
Do you use spice jar garlic?
I am addicted to crunchy kale chips.
Does anyone have a dehydrator?
I ate 2 bags of them yesterday, plus a bag of beet chips.
All air dried. Dies that mean a dehydrator or does that mean leave them out on the counter?
I am looking at the bag saying 1/2 pound of kale, so I basically ate a pound of kale.
And that becomes 4 oz air dried?
I am trying to figure out serving size, but I guess you just go by the package, not the starting kale value.
In regards to kale, they're dehydrated. I don't have a food dehydrator but would love one. Kale chips are AMAZING. Apparently you can make them in the oven, too, they might not stay raw that way but you might be able to do it at a low enough temperature where they could qualify as "raw."
Yeah, I like the concept of air dried, particularly because I don't have to worry about burning 1 pound of kale.
I am wild about the crunch.
It reminds me of potato chips but they had the zing of Doritos.
Some adjustment needs to be made between the volume level for the signature opening of each video, and the subsequent volume level required to hear Dr. Greger's narration. In this video, the void between the two audio levels is astounding– almost as though the production process involved two different people., and no editor to make the two levels even remotely similar.
Think of the problem on the receiving/viewing end– the audience (as in listeners) are forced to turn down the volume drastically to deal with the thoughtless signature volume level, and then raise the volume by orders of magnitude to hear Dr. Greger's voice clearly.
Audio control is not rocket science, but it does require attention to the editing process.
Cut to the chase. Save yourselves some audio angst by simply reading the transcript. Always works for me! :-)
You really are retrograde, in the archaic sense of the term, YR :-)
Yup, I agree. Simplify, simply, I say. Life doesn't have to be so difficult!
Since seeing this video I have changed the way I eat my salad. I always make sure to include beetroot, spinach, and a homemade garlicy dressing. Tastes amazing! Thank you for the tip.

Fresh herbs are a beautiful thing, but I've realized the importance of making sure that I have plenty of ways to use them up before they go bad. If I want a reasonable price I have to buy a big bunch and since most recipes call for only a couple of tablespoons I usually don't buy fresh unless I want to make pesto =) Question – has anyone ever frozen herbs, is that possible??
Anyways, onto Tuesdays meal – which was super yummy and from the blog Universal Eater. We bought some bulk pollock awhile ago and stuck it in our freezer. In the months since then we have become more interested in cutting out fish (at least in our kitchen) mostly thanks to this book. But we decided that we should still try to finish up what we have. Enter… this lovely recipe.
- Pesto Fish & Roasted Cauliflower (I used cilantro)
- Poppy Seed Dressing
I served the fish along with roasted cauliflower and a romaine salad with lettuce, cranberries and poppy seed dressing. It all went really well together and I loved the idea of making a 'pesto' without actually pureeing the ingredients – The texture of this dish was great!

Global warming? What about the fact that the global temperature and sea levels have dropped in the last decade?
Don't let facts get in the way of good spin though…..
Next you'll be trying to convince us that cows cause global warming, even though the carbon they release was taken out of the air by the grass during photosynthesis…..
sean you retard – cows produce methane (CH4) which has a much greater warming potential than carbon dioxide (CO2). There's a lot more wrong with your comment than just that but given you can't even get the fourth from chemistry right I don't think there's any point in explaining further…
Global warming? What about the fact that the global temperature and sea levels have dropped in the last decade?
Try saying that to a polar bear. The Northwest passage and the North east passage are now both open for the first time in 125000 years.
Don't let the facts get in the wat of spin though Sean
But but but that's what Wodney sez!
My guess is that the lack of proper authorisation was a deliberate ommission in the hope that they will get to look like martyrs (and get exposure in the media) when they are fined or whatever the penalty is. Once againj, just Rodney playing games because he know their policies are unpalatable to the vast majority od the electorate.
I could tell a wee story about an ACT candidate in a small city who fancies himself as a crusader for justice.
A part of this crusade involves postage and stationary carrying an ACT letter head, and, so I've been told, a parliamentary crest.
Who to believe?.
Robinsod you angry man, there have been millions of ruminants on earth for many years (think bison). Also it doesnt take much to create methane from grass, all you need are organic matter, microbes and no oxygen (think swamps, land fills, lake bottoms etc).
except when it comes to properly authorising our election advertisements
Maybe, maybe not. The Electoral Commission has found that invitations to public meetings with party leaders are not necessarily election advertisements (e.g.). OTOH, context is important, and counting against this one is the fact that the invitation is from an ACT candidate, the nearness of the election, and the prominent use of the ACT Party logo and slogan.
It's worth noting that this would probably have to have been authorised under the old Electoral Act, so it likely does now as well. So, make a complaint, and see how it goes.
Who are these bashers? And what do they have against Mr Hide?
Says the man who just did.
"Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good." – Gandhi.
Lynn – "I hate stupid arseholes that never bothered to learn enough science to understand simple issues, who then pontificate as if they did."
And you're what a sysop right? Rodney Hide is the only MP in Parliament with a degree in Ecology. That would make him more qualified than you it would seem to discuss matters environmental.
where did he buy it from…one of those mills in the U.S. If wodeny had a degwee in ecology and I doubt that he has then he would not talk such nonsense and act like the little jibbering squib that he is. I think you are lying about wodenys degwee.
As spotted by Scribe, that really is a terrible (or terribly funny) ad placement.
Rodney's degree is in economics isn't it?
I guarantee you he has the degree. However having a degree in ecology does not mean one must follow blindly like a lemming, what certain doomsayers prophecise. It actually means looking at evidence in a certain way before drawing conclusions.
It is interesting to note that upon hearing of this credential you immediately think that Rodney must have obtained this from a "mill in the U.S." I would hope a more rational person would say – "Well I didn't know that. I guess that gives what he is saying a little more credence and I should explore it a little more. Might not mean he is right but worth looking into."
Mind you judging by your spelling it is possible you spent all your time in Science class at school as opposed English and therefore you know everything already.
TR – The masters is in economics. He has a bachelors in Ecology.
Is ecology climate science? Or just close enough for talking points?
thats the first time I ever heard of a bachelors in ecology and a masters in economics…methinks you are just telling the biggest fibs you can knowing how much effort it will take to fact check. I think he has a degree of narcissm and duplicitousness and is obsessive compulsive but ecology?…..nah.
Wikipedia says zoology and botany…
I did hear him mention that he had a degree that was 'environmentally relevant' or similar words at the leaders debate TVNZ7 did for their launch so he's definitely studied in this area.
"Is ecology climate science? Or just close enough for talking points?"
No it's not. I was just pointing out the irony of Lynn's statement lambasting people for being deniers due to a lack of science training. Mind you I think an understanding of scientific precepts is important for evaluating evidence and experiments. Useful for deterimining the wheat from the chaff if you will.
Randal – I am not telling fibs. This is a matter of public record. As amusing as the idea is of wasting your time be getting you to check facts, it never occured to me before you mentioned it. And to be honest I don't really care what you think. It is obvious you will only believe what you want to believe anyway.
MC: "an understanding of scientific precepts is important for evaluating evidence and experiments."
Quite right. This is why the only rational position on climate change, for anyone who values the scientific method and the honest evaluation of evidence but lacks specific expertise in this field, is to accept the scientific consensus provided by the IPCC. To do otherwise is to privilege the voices of a tiny minority of those properly qualified to profess an opinion over those of the vast majority, on an ideological basis.
An MP once said to me, when I told him I was a political scientist, that there's no science in politics and there's no politics to science. By choosing to believe a small group of experts over a large group, all else being equal, you're not making a scientific or even a rational choice – you're making a political one. By choosing the voice of one MP – with a bachelor's degree in something you admit isn't really climate science, over the established body of properly qualified opinion, you're making an explicitly ideological choice. That's fine – but it pays to realise that's what you're doing.
Randal: "methinks you are just telling the biggest fibs you can knowing how much effort it will take to fact check."
About 15 seconds worth of effort. Clearly too much for you. But then, so are capital letters, spelling, grammar and punctuation. Or we could just simplify that down to `writing'.
"Rodney Hide is the only MP in Parliament with a degree in Ecology."
Well then he should know better shouldn't he.
Or does he, but he's only making a noise to get on the TV?
Recently in the Northern Courier (Johnsonville area) Colin du Plessis had a very similar advert with to the one above, again with no authorisation…
Does ACT think that they are above the law but then Rodney Hide will do anything to get dirt on Winston Peters…
Such Idiots…

Good enough for a talking point then.
Interestingly it's the same basic talking point that Intelligent Design advocates use when promoting their list of '500 (or however many) scientists that reject Darwinism'.
It turns out of course that most of them aren't trained in evolutionary science, have strange ideas about it and religious reasons to doubt it. But the fact that have a degree in chemistry or whatever somehow qualifies them to judge the scientific merit of evolutionary theories.
Though I'm sure you can explain why this is in no way similar.
mike collins, why is it obvious I only believe what I want to believe? give one good reason why you bleive that. I am always open to persuasion if the evidence warrants it. However I am not going to believe any old assertion that some party hack puts up here without any corroboration. is that alright with you old chap?
"Interestingly it's the same basic talking point that Intelligent Design advocates use when promoting their list of '500 (or however many) scientists that reject Darwinism'."
Do you believe that sceintists who oppose the theory of man made climate change are of the same ilk as those who promote intelligent design? Or in fact use the same logic or lines of reasoning?
Dean. Ummm. Not in such absolute terms, not all of them and not all of the lines of argument.
However, they rhyme.
All I said was what I said.
I was talking about this argument about Hide's expertise and how it might be useful, and why it should be respected. I compared it to one argument used by ID promoters and asked if it was not analogous.
It's semantically interesting that you used the word 'oppose' rather than 'disagree with', but I'll not compare that what creationists do, lest I offend.
the IPCC is probably overly conservative,
You forgot to put in politicized:
The US has also attempted to steer the UN report, prepared by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), away from conclusions that would support a new worldwide climate treaty based on binding targets to reduce emissions – as sought by Tony Blair. It has demanded a draft of the report be changed to emphasise the benefits of voluntary agreements and to include criticisms of the Kyoto Protocol, the existing treaty which the US administration opposes.
My apologies Lynn. Didn't realise you had a background in science. Well done you.
Just for the record Rodneys masters degree in economics is from Montana State University , "in record time".
However his first bachelors was in botany & zoology and a later 'degree' was in ´resource management' from Lincoln.
Not ecology.
So MSU isnt a degree mill but strangely Lincoln & Canterbury werent up to scratch for our budding young academic ( who knew?)
Lynn: "you get all kinds of interesting and often contradictory data points."
This is the crux of why there is still live debate on climate science – even properly-qualified people can reasonably disagree, and in some cases (though not the most public cases) they do so in a fairly professional manner, i.e, with a view to furthering science by holding each other to high standards of rigour.
So while I think accepting the IPCC is only rational response for someone who isn't a specialist in the field, specialists may well disagree – that's their prerogative. But until the balance shifts significantly more away from the IPCC's findings, they still represents orthodoxy.
I think this is the link Sean is referring to. As much as I dislike to support someone who clearly is trying not look at the whole issue.
NB. Sean, took 1/2 a second and two searches to find on google. You come in for less ridicule if you reference, and don't include sound offs about cows etc…
sorry if this comes up twice.
If it doesn't- this is the link I think Sean is talking about.
@Sean: reference your points and don't mix them with blatantly wrong claims about cows and life will be much smoother.

Thats interesting, I think I remember that name from a letter too the editor, either in the Dompost or which ever small local I get, and im fairly sure he wasn't writing as and ACT candidate. Shall do some further digging, hope those papers havent gone in the fire!
Kinoy001 what a cretin you are and a waste of space. I know Colin well and he is a very dedicated hard working person. How dare you attack someone of his integrity-what have you ever done that is of any value…grow up and grow some bollocks you creep!

Women incurred less than one tenth of the job-related fatal injuries and about one-third of the nonfatal injuries and illnesses that required time off to recuperate in 1992-96. During this period women accounted for just under 50 percent of the Nation's workforce.
One explanation for this large discrepancy is that women are employed in relatively less dangerous jobs such as teaching or service occupations. Few women work in the construction trades or in other high-risk jobs where work is generally performed outdoors. But if more women enter high-risk occupations their risk of injury or death may increase.

As more and more airlines are beginning to offer onboard Wi-Fi, recent bomb scares have caused some to wonder whether or not the features would be worth the risks they pose to passenger security.
A few days ago, authorities intercepted packages on flights bound for the United States that contained an explosive powder. The powder was stored in ink cartridges for printers, and some think that given the opportunity, these parcels could have been triggered by a call or text from a cell phone.
The news may disappoint some passengers who were just beginning to see the light at the end of the connection-free tunnel: airlines are on the brink offering cellular and Wi-Fi services on flights, suppressing the urges of some travelers to illegally use their devices near airport towers. Though it's unclear as to whether the cellphones in the cartridges were intended as triggers or simply as timers, it's undeniable that onboard wireless connectivity could open the door for would-be terrorists to communicate with explosive devices.
Some, like Aurélie Branchereau-Giles of OnAir, disagree that introducing Wi-Fi would pose any threat that doesn't already exist. "There are many ways of coordinating an attack without using a mobile phone… The position of our security experts is that the use of mobile phones on planes does not constitute any additional security threat." (via New Scientist) Officials also aren't sure whether the printer packages were meant to be detonated onboard the craft or once they reached their destinations in Chicago.
One thing is clear, the news casts a shadow of doubt over impending Wi-Fi installations on airplanes. Personally, I'd love to zone out on my online video games, but I don't mind spending the four hours reading a book and brushing up on my crossword skills.

With Hillary, Barrack and the rest crowding on to Facebook and YouTube, you might think that America 2008 is going to be the first 'internet election".
But the first digitised democratic decision took place down under. Blogs and online video had a real impact on this month's Australian general election campaign.
Hundreds of thousands of Australian voters watched footage of the opposition leader eating his own ear wax, the prime minister being portrayed as a 'farting fossil fool'and some of the most surreal campaign advertisements in memory. The close cultural ties and political similarities make Australia's experience much more relevant to the UK.
Internet video has changed the dynamics of political advertising – it is much cheaper to put propaganda online. In the past four months, the Australian Labor Party has released 60 videos and the ruling Liberal Party 40.
Lower costs mean that internet video has provided a real-life campaign test bed, where videos can either flop and fade into oblivion or strike a chord and make the jump into paid TV ads.
The results have been quirky to say the least. The Liberal Party went so far as to produce a surreal vignette of Prime Minister John Howard promising AU$500,000 (£212,000) of taxpayers' money to protect orangutans in Indonesia after he was cornered on the issue by a 10-year-old with cerebral palsy in the Australian rugby union team's dressing room.
Another development has been the use of YouTube videos as an unmediated rapid response to negative attack advertisements. At one point, a negative Liberal Party advertisement on union power provoked an increasingly weird series of tit-for-tat election adverts.
The response opened with the final seconds of the original Liberals' attack ad before panning out to reveal Labor leader Kevin Rudd watching on a computer screen denouncing it as a scare campaign.
Just as quickly, the Liberal Party responded with a further ad showing John Howard watching Kevin Rudd watching John Howard, before stating 'it's not a scare campaign to point out the facts".
This particular spiral of ads might have been enough to make viewers' heads spin, but it showed that the internet has established itself as the primary platform for responding to political attacks. All of these video ads were released first (sometimes exclusively) on the internet, attracting tens of thousands of online viewers, and significant follow-up coverage in the mainstream media.
A lot of the online video created during this campaign has been beyond the control of the political parties. Independent election satire and smears have all proliferated. This proved to be something of a double-edged sword for the political parties.
Labor leader Kevin Rudd may have been chuffed to have been portrayed as James Bond in 'The Man with the Golden Jaw", but he was less pleased that footage of him seemingly eating his own ear wax has been viewed more than 400,000 times.
Similarly, flatulence-dubbed footage of the prime minister Howard talking about climate change in the 'farting fossil fool'video might have impressed the 60,000 people who watched the clip, but not the Liberal campaign HQ.
The bloggers have also been running their alternative take on the election race, although much of their material is made up of attacks or commentary on the mainstream media.
In recent years, a group of Australian blogs including The Poll Bludger, Mumble, Possum Comitas and Larvatus Prodeo have coalesced into a psephological blogosphere of commentators highly critical of the mainstream media's coverage. The critique has been highly informed but bad-mannered.
This tension boiled over when the Murdoch-owned Australian dedicated its entire editorial column to an assault on the journalistic credentials of the blogosphere. Headlined 'Online prejudice no substitute for real work", the editorial accused the blogosphere of being 'woolly-headed", 'smug, self-assured, delusional", 'defamatory", 'blinded by bias'– a home to 'sheltered academics and failed journalists who would not get a job on a real newspaper'that had 'exhausted its claim to be taken seriously".
The lesson from Australia is that the internet does not (yet) decide elections, but it has a critical marginal impact. The mainstream media and political parties may despise new media but they can't ignore it. The blogosphere is playing an increasingly significant role in shaping the political dialogue and the online videos are acting as a political forum that did not exist before.
Rupert Murdoch has famously recognised that 'media companies don't control the conversation anymore'and the message from Australia is that those who fail to understand this new world and insist on living in belligerent isolation will appear increasingly arrogant and shrill, and their content will appear increasingly aloof and stale.

text: Village Walk Bonita Springs is like a city in a city or more accurately a village inside a city. Not to say it is over populated because it is not. But instead visualize a comfortable gate community located east of I75 at the Bonita Beach Road exit. This makes it located under 15 minutes from RSW our local major airport and under 20 minutes from walking on the beach. Okay, back to the wonderful features of Village Walk. Inside this community you will find a resort style pool, a lap pool, a bank, post office, hair salon, gas station, car wash, restaurant, tennis courts, children's pay are and much more, get the picture? In respect to the different living options, you will find single family homes as little as around 1400 square feet to larger stand a lone homes around 2500 square feet, attached villas that give you the feel of a single family but are not and two story townhomes with detached two car garages, these three bedroom townhomes are a bit over 1800 square feet and feature two master suites in their very comfortable layouts. This community has so many intersecting walkways with bridges over the vast amount of lakes that you can walk or bike ride anywhere fairly easily and quickly. All roads and walkways lead to the aforementioned "town center" with all of its wonderful amenities.

Can't remember the names of the guys that came out, but what i can tell you is before them we had water coming into our basement quicker than if you had a garden hose trying to fill it up/ The guys came out and installed a perimeter system and we haven't had a drop of water in the basement since. We had four days of nonstop rain and a 12 inch snowfall on top of that and not one drop in the basement! Before we couldn't even use our basement due to standing water after a light rain, now its dry and we are able to store things and use our completely dry basement. The guys did a great job, worked hard and were very good at what they do. I would strongly recommend Tar Heel Basement to anyone wanting a dry basement and a price what i thought very reasonable! Don't waste your time trying to fix it from the outside where the contractors won't give you a warranty.

These winter counting mats are a fun way to learn about numbers for preschoolers. You can have a great time clipping on clothespins to the number cards or placing counters on top of the pictures. These math worksheets are a great way to have some fun with winter themed items while getting to know more about numbers.
Combining learning with seasons is something that we love to do in our home. There's just something about the combination that makes it stick in the brain a little bit better for the kids. We have more winter printables for kids here.
During winter, they seem to love learning with a variety of animals or "snow" activities as well.
One of the ways to keep learning fun and fresh all year long is to incorporate your surroundings as well. It seems to help everyone transition well into the next learning phase also.
Plus, having a variety with the learning is always a big need as well. Kids love knowing that they are going to have fun and learn at the same time!
Winter Counting Mats
I created these super cute counting mats and puzzles with a penguin and snowman theme, who wouldn't love that? They're so cute. The first page consists of counting cards and you can use a clothes pin to clip the correct answer. You could also use a manipulative or counter like a block, pom pom ball or color with a bingo dabber.
There are 10 counting mats where you can use the above materials as well on the numbers. I've also written out the number so that your child can trace them.
The end of the pack includes 4 different number puzzles to get your children skip counting.
The counting mats can be used for toddlers up to kindergarten students depending on your child. They get to practice number recognition, spelling and writing their numbers as well.
Recommended Winter Books for Kids
Reading is another great tool that will help continue to develop the mind and vocabulary of your children! Read your favorite winter books to go along with these winter counting activities.
