A CONSTRUCTION worker was airlifted to hospital after his leg was crushed between two pieces of metal.
The 50-year-old man was working on the McCarthy & Stone building site at the old Weymouth Fire Station when his leg was crushed just after 11am this morning. (May 21)
The air ambulance was called to the scene and landed on The Marsh playing fields behind the Asda supermarket.
Police and land ambulances also rushed to the scene and the land ambulance took him to the air ambulance, before he was taken to Southampton General Hospital.
An investigation has now been launched by Dorset Police and the Health and Safety Executive into the incident.
A spokesman for Dorset Police said: "At 11.23am on Wednesday 21 May 2014, Dorset Police were informed by the ambulance service of an industrial incident at a building site on North Quay, Weymouth.
"A man has suffered leg injuries and has been taken to Southampton Hospital. Police have attended and are carrying out enquiries. The Health and Safety Executive has been informed."
McCarthy and Stone began construction work at the site, in March this year to create a "Retirement Living Development".
Kevin Strickland, manager of the Boot Inn pub behind the building site, said: "I saw the helicopter go across, but I didn't know what it was for.
"It's a bit of a shock really, because they are usually pretty health and safety conscious on that site, nothing like this has ever happened before so I am a bit surprised it's happened, I hope he recovers quickly."
A passerby, who did not want to be named, said he saw the helicopter land and saw it leave.
He said: "I didn't see what happened to the man but I knew it must have been something serious. It's not very heavy metal they are working with but then again you don't want any metal to crush your leg.
"I worked in construction for nearly 50 years, so I have seen things like this happen. They should be stopping work until health and safety has sussed the situation out."
A spokesman for McCarthy & Stone said: "McCarthy & Stone confirms that an accident involving a piling subcontractor occurred at its construction site in North Quay, Weymouth, at around 11.00am this morning (Wednesday).
"Site employees followed procedures and emergency services arrived quickly. The subcontractor was then taken to Southampton General hospital via air ambulance.
"The Health and Safety Executive has been informed and the company is working with the relevant authorities, as well as carrying out its own investigation into what happened.
"McCarthy & Stone makes every effort to ensure that its sites are well-managed, with the safety and well-being of the public, employees and subcontractors firmly front of mind."

RESIDENTS and shopkeepers have launched a petition to ban street drinkers from their area.
The petition, which is aiming to collect 1,000 signatures, was started by residents in Lowther Street, Penley Grove Street and Townend Street in The Groves last month.
Recently, a new Alcohol Restriction Zone (ARZ), was created which meant drinking on the streets within the city walls and at York railway station was prohibited, with early indications showing a drop in police call outs by almost 25 per cent, but those supporting the petition said the ARZ had forced street drinkers out of the city and into their area.
Gordon Campbell-Thomas is manager of the Its Donated charity shop in Lowther Street, and said more than 200 people had already signed the petition in the two weeks since it was started.
He said: "I was told by a number of shop keepers, some who have been in business for over 30 years, that the Groves area has deteriorated. The local community cannot put up with this any longer.
"Without the necessary legislation police are facing an uphill task. The city within the bar walls has been designated a 'No Alcohol Area' which gives police the right to confiscate alcohol from street drinkers, but the area around Lowther Street and adjoining streets is excluded, and due to the presence of the Arc Light hostel and cheap booze shops, there seems to be a rise in street drinking.
Jane Mowat, City of York Council's Head of Community Safety, said: "The petition and its proposals will be considered in the same way we would any other similar request and, in the meantime, we are working with North Yorkshire Police to look at the situation in the Groves in more detail and in the light of the new ARZ."
Mr Campbell-Thomas said: "When we have a 1000 plus signatures we will call a public meeting to see what the Council is going to do in response to the peoples petition."
The petition is available to sign in shops around the area, and volunteers are wanted to take the petition door to door to help collect signatures. Anyone interested in taking part can contact Mr Campbell-Thomas at the Its Donated charity shop, or phone 07794706961.

BEIJING – The Netherlands hung on for a 1-0 win over host China in a matchup of undefeated teams in women's field hockey in the Beijing Olympics on Thursday.
The Netherlands, ranked No. 1 in the world, improved to 3-0 in Pool A. China, which entered the game unscored upon, fell to 2-1.
Maartje Paumen scored on a high shot near the edge of the circle in the 21st minute, and the Netherlands took that lead into halftime.
Despite a boisterous and hopeful crowd, No. 6 China struggled to create scoring opportunities in the second half. Its best chance came in the 69th minute, but Zhao Zudiao's shot was high.
Canada was idle Thursday before taking on the Netherlands on Friday.

Topic: Won't be around for a few days or so.
Hi All,
Just to let you know that I won't be around for a few days or so. Not sure exactly how long, but hopefully it won't be any longer than 3 or 4 days, I hope! I'm in the middle of decorating my whole flat and the walls and the ceiling in my living room all need re-plastered. My mate is a plasterer, very handy, and he is starting work tomorrow. Anyway, I need to totally clear the living room of everything so have to dismantle the pc and move it into the bedroom along with everything else and there is no broadband connection through there. Actually, there is no room to even move in the bedroom right now as pretty much everything in my entire flat is in there now!
Bad idea this deciding to do the whole flat in one go as it is chaos here but saved a fortune as I'm doing it all myself, apart from the plastering of course! Just got the living room and kitchen left to do after the plastering, and also to scrape the bedroom and repaint it again as it didn't look great first time around. Painting over dark patterned wallpaper was such a bad idea! Painting direct onto the walls is sooo much easier than having to wallpaper and paint too, just have to scrape the paper off first and should have just done that originally. Grrrr! Ha, but it's good exercise I guess!
If anyone emails me or gets in touch then I'll reply when I get back online. Don't have a smartphone so I can't even do mobile web access, must get one sometime I guess! See you all when I get back online.
Hugs to all,

HOUSTON - An asteroid, half the size of a football field, misses Earth by 15 minutes today.
Asteroids this size hit the Earth, on average, once every 800 years. The last one similar to 2012 DA14 hit Tunguska, Russia, in 1908 leveling 800 square miles of forest. If an asteroid this size hit Houston it would wipe us out; we are 627 square miles in extent. I often get asked if a Tsunami could ever hit our shore line. The only way this would happen is if an asteroid landed in the Gulf of Mexico.
According to the European Space Agency, the meteorite that hit Russia overnight is unrelated to the asteroid that will miss Earth later today. Information is still coming in but if I were to guess, this meteorite is probably the size of a room in your home. By comparison, the asteroid that will miss the Earth is half the size of a football field.
Here is one of the videos from the event:18563168
So, what's the difference?
A meteor is a small piece of space dust, about the size of Grape Nuts cereal with the same texture, which burns up as it hits the Earth's atmosphere. A meteorite is a larger piece of space rock that impacts the Earth, like the Russian meteorite that hit overnight. Another name for an asteroid is a "small planet," so you get the idea how large these can be. The one that misses the Earth today is half the size of a football field. Here is a good video of how close it gets:18563244

Revision as of 16:55, 28 December 2012Feel free to add to or edit information in this discussion tab as necessary. Please take time to become familiar with the General Keying Standards and be sure to read all instructions on the main project page. (Please note that in case of a discrepancy, project level instructions always trump general keying standards.)
Extra Keying HelpsI have transribed part of a record (I think I am 99% accurate - if you disagree post your corrections) to help with reading the handwriting. The names we would key are in orange text.
Common Keying Errors Found by Reviewers
Keying only the name of the land owner and not keying all of the names found within the land record of adjacent or former land owners.
Questions and Answers
If you have a keying question that is not answered on the project page or in any of the information above, click "EDIT" and ask it here. (If you click on Rich Editor you won't have to worry about formatting your entry.) Then click "WATCH" at the top right on this page and you will be notified via email when an update has been made.
Does the instruction, " Don't key the signatures at the end", includes the signatures of the witnesses as well?
On West Tennessee plat surveys there does not appear to be a grant or survey number identified. Only a page number in the upper outside corner is visible. Should we use the page number as the grant number in order to differentiate between two surveys on the same image? If I leave the grant number empty, then there is no way tell where one survey record ends and the next begins. Also, I have the same question posted above. I have been keying the names of witnesses (who are often relatives or neighbors) and the surveyor's name. Should either or both of these NOT be keyed????
If you have a suggestion or would like to make an addition to the project page, click "EDIT" and post your suggestion here. (If you click on Rich Editor you won't have to worry about formatting your entry.) Then click "WATCH" at the top right on this page and you will be notified via email when an update has been made.

In my last blog, I mentioned Insight as an analytical tool for big data and differentiated Insight as an analytical tool, not a reporting tool. The key question is, what is the difference between reporting and analysis? This is an important distinction for digital marketers. We, as digital marketing consultants at Adobe, get asked this question all the time. It is a difficult question to answer, because there is quite a bit of overlap between the two from one perspective and significant differences from another viewpoint.

A little about Nikki ;)~
Igor: Consummate favorite VW'eber since her premier appearance, she continues to embody the essence of a lady which all others are measured against. Her long brown hair, soft brown eyes that can swallow you whole when she wants them to, and her tan, voluptuous body have been seducing viewers for more than seven years now. In her contributions, she is the image of sweetness and sexiness personified. Although it doesn't seem possible, everyone who meets her in person comes away saying she is even sweeter and sexier than she appears in the photographs she and hubby, Jme contribute.
Woohoo!!! Ten Years!!! July 1999 - 2009
Age: 38
Height: 5 ft. 6in.
Bust: 36D
Brown Hair and Eyes
Location: So. Cal, USA
Hi guys! I'm Nikki ;)~
Want to learn a little about me and my little adventure here on the Web and and? LOL, are you in for it!
I'm a married 37 yo mom (my daughter starts college in 2007, YIKES!) from So Cal who's always had a bit of an exhibitionist streak. Early on my high school sweetheart and husband embraced and encouraged this side of me, and a monster was born, hehe! A few years ago, ok more like 10, that's what let Jme talk me into sending a set of ten pictures into a photo contest on this crazy new website he'd found. It was all viewer submitted amateur nude pictures and there were themed contests you could enter each month. So I swallowed my fears and submitted my first pictures to Voyeurweb in July of '99. They didn't do so hot in the contest, but the viewer comments and support were amazing and I was hooked. I still am.
In all those years I've had some amazing adventures, participated in many VW projects, and made many real life friends with the crew, other contributors, and viewers I've met along the way. All of which has made for a whole pile of sexy pictures I've shared here in my 100+ contris, videos, and bulletin board posts.
I even did an interview project for VW, when they were trying to encourage viewers to get to know some of the contributors more. Want to see? Igor's interview with Nikki ;)~
All in all I've had a blast here, and have no plans to stop any time soon! So if you're interested, check me out here on my wiki, and in my contris, and then come find me to say hi on the boards! (old invite)
Love Ya, Nikki ;)~

- She shows the younger girls what sexy really is! ----theman 09:30, 11 October 2007 (PST)
Voyeurweb is my original home on the internet and where I got it all started for me. Back then it was a lot different than it is today. There were no sections to divide up pictures when I started. You r pictures just posted on one page with a text link, and we all shared a single bulletin board for feedback, no matter how many of us posted that month! It was wild. Even submitting pictures was crazy back then. I waited almost 5 weeks for my first pictures to post!
My first pics "Tanning Oil" were for one of Igor's themed contests and I didn't do anything more than flash in any of the ten pictures. When they posted I spent hours reading my comments before they scrolled off the board. LOL I was hooked instantly and my second contri was the very next month.
Now with all the things that have happened around here I'm no longer eligible to win money in VW's contests, but I'm still around and contributing pictures and playing on the BBs. If you see me around stop and say hi!
Did I mention I was shy when I started all of this? LOL, you don't believe me? It's true. It took almost a year of posting before I sent in my first explicit pictures to RedClouds, and even then they were only the few "hard" (yeah right!) pictures missing from my VW contris that had been dropped by the VW censors. But soon I went a little more wild and was posting with girlfriends and some of hte sexiest contributors to ever grace the VW/RC pages. ;)~ I've since gotten over my shy side in a big way and you can almost always find me proving it on the RCBBs. I haven't quite fulfilled my bukkake fantasy yet... but you never know! ;)~
FRC / ProAdult
Probably the largest VW project I've been involved in was the "Fans of RedClouds" sites.
Eight years ago there was no myspace or photobucket and many of us contributors wanted our own place to archive our past contris, and to post extra stuff without flooding VW and RC. (It took 4-6 WEEKS to get your pictures posted and still some contributors posted several contris a day... it was a nightmare!) So Igor set up a system where we could build websites as part of the Voyuerweb/RedClouds umbrella. Early the idea made many changes and after a few months a VW designed and supported Adult Verification Service was born. ProAdult offered VW contributors a place to host thier sites, make some money from their hobby, and help support the free sections of Voyeurweb.
Of course as soon as money came into posting in any way there was controversy which soon had the same contributors segregated from the contests for participating in this project and suddenly being unfair competition. So the GwS and RCR sections were born to alleviate this crisis and for years that's where you'd find me prancing around naked. But this only quieted the whiners for a short time as it gave more and more professional webmasters access to Voyeurweb as a traffic source instead of remaining about amateurs. In the last couple of years it has become so poisoned thatrecently (5/2008) our sections and the relationship between ProAdult and VW has ended suddenly without warning and leaving lots of hurt feelings and very little information to those involved even if our relationship went back years and years.
ProAdult's future remains in doubt... but either way I've moved on.
The End
And now it seems, Nikki ;)~ has ended her long and beautiful career running naked on her Little Corner of the Internet.

Get the Recipe
A good biscuit makes me weak. As much as I adore desserts, it's the fat that I crave, not the sugar, and buttery biscuits satisfy. During my waitressing days, I'd stuff warm, hot biscuits into my pocket and scurry off the the employee restroom (yeah, the bathroom) to indulge. There's really no excuse for that sort of behavior, so I'll just leave it at that.
Though I usually make drop biscuits (mix up the batter, scoop, bake), lately I've been craving the flakier variety. To make 'em flakey is easy: work the butter into the dry ingredients with your fingers just until the butter chunks are about the size of large almonds. The dough is rolled out and then folded together like a book. In doing so, the pieces of butter are flattened somewhat into layers. When the biscuits are baked, the butter pieces melt, with the resulting steam pushing the dough apart into layers. Not overworking the dough, and chilling the biscuits before baking, helps to keep the butter cold and create the flaky effect.
Not much can top a plain buttered biscuit, except for say...ham and cheese? Sharp cheddar will give you the most flavor bang for your buck as too much cheese will interfere with the biscuit's flakey texture. And what to pair with the biscuits? Extra butter of course. Or perhaps a bubbling pot of smokey ham hock split pea soup.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 24/5/2013 (1550 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
INDIANAPOLIS -- He's the hometown hope, the Butler University alum and die-hard Indiana Pacers fan who has put his modest, one-car program on the pole for the Indianapolis 500 ahead of powerhouse programs from Penske Racing and Andretti Autosport.
There's more, though, and it runs as deep as blood.
The unflappable Ed Carpenter is also the stepson of series founder Tony George. That means his family tree has roots tracing all the way back to Tony Hulman, who bought Indianapolis Motor Speedway after World War II, and includes Mari Hulman George, who still serves as speedway chairman and on Sunday will proclaim once more, "Gentleman, start your engines!"
'I don't feel the pressure. As far as the local fan base and support, it's fun. I don't think that translates into pressure'-- Indy 500 pole sitter Ed Carpenter
So to say that much of Carpenter's life has been lived in Gasoline Alley, where he spent his formative years, is about as fitting for him as the maxim that "haste makes waste."
It also means that the Carpenter is carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.
"I started racing quarter midgets when I was 8 years old, and at that point, I was already part of the Hulman family. That's the way it's always been for me," said the 32-year-old Carpenter, whose quiet voice and disarming smile belie a fierce competitive streak.
"I don't feel the pressure," he insisted moments later, as if driving home the point. "As far as the local fan base and support, it's fun. I don't think that translates into pressure."
Perhaps it's not that Carpenter feels pressure, but that he no longer recognizes it.
He'll be making his 10th start in the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing," but his first from the pole. And while peering eyes have been trained on him most of his life, Carpenter insists that the pressure he endures on a daily basis has never managed to overwhelm him.
"I don't like to say it means more to me because I'm from here," Carpenter said, "but it does mean a lot because of how much I love this place."
His first memories of Indianapolis go back to 1991, when he sat in the balcony overlooking the track and watched Rick Mears qualify for the pole. Even then, Carpenter knew that he wanted to one day drive over the hallowed ground that has been in his family for decades.
He proved at a young age that he could find victory lane, too, winning national championships in midgets and sprint cars. He graduated to Indy Lights and made his IndyCar debut in 2003, when he was hailed as part of the next wave of young American drivers who might someday wrestle the series back from a surge of foreign stars such as Scott Dixon and Dario Franchitti.
But things got sidetracked along the way, as they often do in racing, and Carpenter became an after-thought. He started to bounce around to different teams, trying to find magic once more.
It wasn't until 2011, when he hooked up with Sarah Fisher Racing, that he won his first IndyCar race. And last year, after founding his own team, he surprised everyone but himself when he took the checked flag at the series finale at California.
"He's really a talent, and he's been developing for a long time, and he's become a special driver," said veteran Buddy Lazier, who also has a single-car team for this year's Indy 500.
"It's a huge inspiration," Lazier added. "Absolutely."
While he insists that pressure seems to run from his shoulders like water, Carpenter admits that he'll be anxious when Sunday dawns.

WINTER PARK, Fla. – The Saint Leo men's basketball team dominated from start to finish as the Lions posted a milestone 71-45 win over host Rollins College in Sunshine State Conference action on Saturday afternoon.
It was the largest margin of victory over the Tars since a 63-58 win in January of 1999, and the first win over Rollins since a 67-63 victory in January of 2001. This also marked the first time Saint Leo walked out of the Alfond Sports Center as victors since the facility opened in 2001 as their 1999 win came at the old Enyart-Alumni Field House.
"I loved our defensive effort," an excited Coach Lance Randall said while standing on the middle of the court. "I was a little worried because they had a bye and had a lot of time to prepare, but I thought our guys did a great job of defending and we got good shots. We came out and shot it very well early and I thought our guys did a great job of not turning (the ball) over."
"We really just went out and got after it. I like the way we're playing right now"
Saint Leo (12-10, 6-6 SSC) jumped ahead 18-1 over the first eight minutes and didn't surrender a defensive basket until Rollins' first field goal at the 11:44 mark. The bucket wouldn't change anything; however, as the Lions ran out to a 27-5 lead with 8:22 to play in the first.
A quick six point swing for the hosts was quick squashed as the Lions went on to outscore Rollins (14-8, 7-5 SSC) 11-5 the rest of the period and took a 38-18 lead into intermission.
Rollins was held at bay throughout the second half with the Lions' advantage ballooning to a game-high 28 with 5:34 to play in the game.

Soil Management
Soil Management offers information to manage agricultural soil for optimum crop yields and at the same time maintaining or improving the capacity of soil to provide essential ecosystem functions.
Soil is the foundation of terrestrial life. It provides many essential ecosystem functions, such as providing a medium for plants to grow in, absorbing, filtering, and slowly releasing water, housing bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, arthroprods, and higher level animals, recycling nutrients and organic wastes, and storing and releasing greenhouse gasses.
"Our solution for safeguarding our soils on slopes where soil erosion by water is the hazard is (1) to increase rainwater-intake capacity of the soil by retaining crop litter at the surface, soil improvement, crop rotations, and strip cropping on the contour and (2) to lead away unabsorbed storm waters in channels of broad-base terraces into outlet channels and into natural drainage channels."Dr. W.C. Lowdermilk, 1943. Conquest of the Land through 7,000 years.

Sutton & Epsom head coach Jeff Parsons has warned there are tougher tests ahead for his men after securing back-to-back wins to kick-off the London Division Two South West season.
Saturday's comprehensive 46-14 win at Guildford, on the back of an opening day beating of Effingham & Leatherhead, has Sutton sitting third in the table.
It is a world away from last season where the disappointment of relegation from London One South was compounded by not registering a single win, and coach Jeff Parsons is pleased to get that monkey off their backs.
He said: "Confidence is returning to the team and the club, which is important considering what happened last year.
"We've been encouraged by the start we have made especially the way in which the new faces and the youngsters have been working together.
"We took a big decision over the summer to change the way we play, the tactic calls and patterns.
"We thought it would take some time to work and that we'd be grinding out a few wins, but we're doing extra training and the boys have worked really hard to get it right.
"We're not deluding ourselves, there are some tough games to come with the likes of Teddington and Tottonians, but it is certainly good to feel what it is like to win again."
Sutton travel to bottom-of-the-table Camberley this weekend and Parsons is hoping the harsh lessons learnt from last season's debacle will remind the players of their responsibilities.
He said: "I hope for the players' sake that after last year they do not take anything for granted. We should have won some games last year but sometimes a few of the players went missing in matches, we cannot afford for that to happen."
Andy Nicholls definitely misses the weekend trip, while Brendan Kipping, Pete Matthews and Ian Knott remain doubtful.
On the performance against Guildford, Parsons said: "We were expecting a much tougher game. Guildford had a good win the weekend before last and they are a tough side, but in the end it was comfortable.
"We should have won our first game by a larger margin, maybe even 20 points. We didn't take all our opportunities we were given, which maybe a hangover from last year. But the guys are working so hard in training to put those little things right and against Guildford it all paid off."

The human body has been created with a flawless defense system. Our bodily reactions such as fainting, sneezing, having a fever, tanning and hiccupping, which seem to us as quite ordinary are actually some of the protective mechanisms Allah created in our body.
In the human body, there is a magnificent system, every detail of which is planned and established on very sensitive balances. Millions of processes occur, reactions take place, cells die and are replaced by new ones every single second without us ever realizing it. This functionality in our body continues even when we sleep. These special defense mechanisms step in to protect the body when confronted with unusual or extraordinary conditions. Every organ, every cell, and every system in our body has a specific task. When there is even the slightest disturbance in this system, coordination is disrupted. Therefore, whether a person is aware of it or not, these special defense mechanisms protect the human body much like an army in case of emergencies. This mechanism known as the "defense system" is the most disciplined, the most complex and the most successful army in the world. The defense system, which is composed of infantries, armored heavy task forces, intelligence units and even an "information technology" center that keeps track of enemies, fights off microbes and repairs the disruptions in the body throughout our lives.
In this case, the human body is in a sense like a "besieged castle." There is no doubt that the protection of a castle surrounded on all sides by countless enemies has to be complete and meticulously planned. A human being is created with this perfect protection which he needs in order to not be defenseless against these so-called enemies.
Every person can clearly see that an Owner of strength without precedent and a superior intelligence has created his body when he understands the order inside the systems of his body and the superior creation displayed at every point. Allah revealed this truth in the Qur'an:
"That is Allah, your Lord, there is no god but He; the Creator of all things, therefore serve Him, and He has charge of all things." (Surat al-An'am, 102)
Examples of the Incredible Defense Mechanisms in Our Body
The special defense mechanisms that step in according to urgent needs in our body amaze every individual who learns about them. Some of these special defense mechanisms, every part of which operates according to a precise plan, are as follows:
The Natural Protection Method That Cleans Air Passages: Sneezing
Why Do People Sneeze?
Sneezing is a reflex that occurs when there is a need to eject a substance that is found in the nasal passages and may cause disturbances to the person. By sneezing, air comes out of the nose strongly so it is cleaned via air passage. The nose is where the breathing process begins. Substances that may settle here and restrict or prevent the normal passage of air, or that could cause damage are cleaned out by means of the sneezing reflex. This reflex occurs without the individual's own will and in a sudden way. Thus, even when we are unaware of it, our body is protected every single second by Almighty Allah's inspiration and defends itself against enemies, much like an army.
How Does One Sneeze?
The substance which is causing a disturbance inside the nasal mucous membranes sends a signal to the nerves that reside here. By means of the message sent to the brain, the command to sneeze is given by the reflex centers in the brain.
The Effect of Sneezing on the Human Body
During sneezing, most of the muscles in the face, chest and trunk are contracted. These contractions occur with splendid harmony, and by means of this harmony realized by the brain and the spinal cord, it is almost impossible for an individual to prevent the sneeze. Since the pressure it would cause in the human body would lead to damage in the capillary vessels, doctors do not recommend preventing a sneeze. The nerves responsible for the sneezing process are also connected to the cornea, which is found on the outer surface of the eye. Therefore, when we sneeze, our eyes get wet as well and it is not possible to hold the eyes open.
The Method to Empty the Air That Enters the Digestive System: The Hiccup
Why Do We Hiccup?
When we eat food or drink water, air sometimes enters the stomach during swallowing. A hiccup is the reaction shown by the digestive system to remove this air that goes inside the digestive system.
How Do We Hiccup?
At the moment when we swallow air, the diaphragm instantly shrivels and enables rapid breathing. Simultaneously, a closure occurs in the area where the larynx is located and the air that normally passes through here is blocked for a single moment.; this causes a sound to come out of our throat. The relationship between the stomach and the diaphragm occurs because the nerve groups of these two organs are very close to, even jumbled into, one another. Therefore, people generally hiccup after they eat a meal or drink water. After the digestion process is over, there is no hiccup.
The Effects of Hiccuping on a Human Being
If there were no hiccup reflexes in our bodies, then we would be unaware of the air that comes into our digestive system. Even if we felt a disturbance in our stomach, we would not know that we need to make a reflex like a hiccup to push this air out, and even if we knew that, we would be unable to accomplish that; if we tried to do this by our own freewill, our disturbance would increase even more. However, by means of this reflex placed in our body by Almighty Allah's inspiration, possible disturbances are prevented without any need for action on our part. Undoubtedly, it is out of the question that such a system could ever come into existence by coincidence as claimed by evolutionists. Every detail in the human body is a manifestation of our Almighty Lord's flawless art of Creation.
The Command to Rest That Comes From Our Body: Fever
Why Do We Get a Fever?
A fever is a sign of the immune system fighting against diseases in the human body. When the immune system is attacking microbes or diseases, the metabolism increases dramatically, and as a result, a person's body temperature increases correspondingly. Therefore, a person is forced to rest, so the energy required by the body to fight against microbes is not used for tasks like walking, traveling and working. Thus, a fever is not a side effect caused by the disease, but rather a special security precaution created to force a person to take a rest.
How Does Our Body Temperature Increase?
Our body temperature is increased by the "fever center" of the brain. The fever center of the brain, in turn, is activated by a substance called "IL-1." However, when the fever reaches to dangerous levels, a miraculous effect of the cortisol hormone normally secreted in our body emerges. The cortisol hormone is created to stop the fever as well as its different effects. In situations where a person is faced with the danger of dying of high fever, the cortisol hormone steps in and decreases fever by stopping the production of the IL-1 substance that initially activated the fever center.
The Effect of High Fever on the Human Body
High fever is a mechanism that prevents the body from being damaged by microbial diseases. At high body temperatures, amounts of iron, zinc and copper that prevents bacteria decrease. In addition, lyzozomes, which are the digestive organelles of the cell, are more easily divided. The digestive enzymes coming out of lyzozomes kill the cells together with the viruses inside them. A high body temperature also ensures that the number of defensive cells, known as lyphocytes, increases. At the same time, the production of interferons that kill viruses increases. If we stop and reflect on this for a moment, we can understand that using this system for the body to rest itself and to store energy is created in a very detailed manner. There is no doubt that Almighty Allah created all the systems in our body in complete and perfect harmony and in line with our needs. The intelligence and consciousness that manifests itself in every cell in the human body reflects the infinite knowledge of Allah Who created all things out of nothingness.
Tanning is in Fact a Defense Mechanism of the Body
Tanning is a chemical reaction of the color cells in the layer of our skin called the 'derma.' When these cells are subjected to UV rays in the sunlight, they increase the amount of the dark color pigments called 'melanin.' Melanin is the dark colored hair and skin pigments on the upper layer of the skin called the 'epidermis'. Specialized cells, which produce these color particles, are named melanocyte. Melanocytes carry melanin (color particles) to the upper layers of the skin by means of these extensions. The sun stimulates the production of these cells. At first, there is a thickening of the skin, and then the skin produces more color pigments to protect itself and begins to grow darker. So the melanin pigment prevents UV rays from reaching the outer layers of the skin to the inner layers, and so provides a natural sunblock for the skin.
The Human Body's "System Crash": Fainting
Why Do We Faint?
The temporary loss of consciousness, which occurs when cardiovascular and respiratory activities literally come to a temporary halt is what we call "fainting". Fainting is a sudden loss of consciousness that takes place involuntarily, just like other reflexes. It takes place in order to provide energy when the body, for whatever reason, cannot hold on anymore, to avoid a sense of pain that it cannot endure, or to provide more blood for the brain. This process is somewhat analogous to a "system crash" in computers. Fainting can also be a sign of other problems in the body as well. Fainting occurs with greater frequency in people with excessively sensitive nervous systems. Conditions such as extreme enthusiasm, intense fear, severe stress, heatstroke, bad smells, gum disease, the sight of blood, severe pain or aches can also cause fainting.
How Do We Faint?
Before a person faints, he first feels dizzy, and typically feels his ears burning. As a result of this, his face goes pale and his pulse begins to slow down until it is it no longer audible. The hands become cold and the color drains from the face. The forehead and the face begin to exude cold sweat. At the end, the person blacks out and faints.
The Effects of Fainting on the Human Body
The person who faints regains consciousness slowly in a couple of minutes and subsequently revives. First, his facial color is restored, his heartbeat becomes stronger and the pulse begins to be heard. The person regains his consciousness as if he were awakening from a deep sleep.
Allah is the One Who Creates Flawlessly
When we examine our body, we find amazing systems that belong to our various organs, which protect and cure themselves and that these processes occur without error. It is clear that skills such as developing various methods of communication, cooperation, planning and acting via perfect organization in line with these plans cannot be expected from mere defense cells or organs. Even a community of the most knowledgeable people cannot duplicate such a flawless organization nor accomplish such tasks without hindrance, forgetfulness, confusion or disorder. Almighty Allah Who controls all systems through His Mercy in a flawless manner also created His servants in a perfect order. Every bit of information we learn about is one of the evidences of creation that prove to us Allah's Might and Superior Power. In one verse of the Qur'an, our Lord reveals His Art of Creation as follows:
"And He it is Who made for you the ears and the eyes and the hearts; little is it that you give you thanks. And He it is Who multiplied you in the earth, and to Him you shall be gathered. And He it is Who gives life and causes death, and (in) His (control) is the alternation of the night and the day; do you not then understand?" (Surat al-Muminun, 78-80)

CARROLLTON, Ohio (AP) -- Schools officials in northeast Ohio have changed course and will allow a high school senior to participate in graduation ceremonies despite his excessive unexcused absences while his mother had cancer.
Carrollton administrators say they made their decision after receiving new information about Austin Fisher's absences. He had enough credits and good grades but 16 unexcused absences in violation of school rules.
His case attracted a lot of attention, including 32,000 Facebook friends. Silent supporters at Tuesday's school board meeting carried signs urging officials to let Fisher also attend prom.
The Times-Reporter in New Philadelphia (http://bit.ly/IloJoY ) says another senior asked to participate in graduation ceremonies because her missed classes were belatedly explained by a parent who had been in a car accident. No action was taken.

We want to say a big thank you to Dawid for looking after us so well. He is such a great asset to The Sarojin. He is the best in the business that we have ever experienced. We have had first class service from the minute we arrived until the minutes we departed. We will definitely recommend here to everyone we meet, and we wish you all continued success for 2011 and the future. Best wishes - N & A/ Ireland 31.12.10
