One of the world's most ancient societies has been given a legal buffer zone to guard it from the modern world. India's Supreme Court has banned all commercial and tourism activity near their habitat in the country's remote Andaman and Nicobar islands in the Indian Ocean. The ruling bars hotels |
and resorts from operating within a three-mile buffer zone around the Jarawa reserve, which is home to the Jarawa tribal people. The order means resorts that had opened nearby will have to close. The Jarawas are among the world's most ancient people, with many still hunting with bows and arrows |
and rubbing stones together to make fire. Scientists believe they were among the first people to migrate from Africa to Asia around 70,000 years ago. Jarawas did not have any contact with government authorities until 1996 and did not begin leaving their habitat until a few years ago, when they |
began moving out of the reserve in small groups for a brief while before returning. Scientists say there are around 320 Jarawa tribespeople living in the southern and middle Andaman islands. The Indian government has come under increasing criticism from rights activists for failing to protect the Jarawas. Critics say |
the local government has allowed unscrupulous tour operators to promote "human safaris." In 2002, the Supreme Court ordered that a road passing through the reserve be closed, but the local government still has not barred the Andaman Trunk Road, enabling tourist buses and vehicles to enter Jarawa habitats deep in |
the jungle. India's cabinet recently authorised stiff penalties for those trying to organise tours to Jarawa habitats or photographing the tribespeople. Last year, activists were outraged when media reports and videos surfaced of local policemen forcing bare-chested Jarawa women to dance for tourists in exchange for fo... |
The Importance of Breakfast It often amazes me how people take better care of their cars than their bodies. I have yet to meet a person who said, “God has |
a plan as to when my car should ‘die’ and I do not need to worry about it. I don’t need to check or change the oil, or perform any |
routine maintenance. And I don’t need to worry about the type of gasoline I use.” We recognize the necessity of proper care to get the longest life and best performance |
out of our automobiles. When will we realize that proper care also gives our bodies the longest life and Today, a wealth of scientific research has confirmed that most of |
the leading causes of death and chronic diseases are preventable. We have been talking about the lifestyle factors that will help us improve our health. Adding breakfast to your eating |
pattern is a major step to improving your lifestyle. Well, why bother with breakfast? Food is fuel. Many studies have emphasized the importance of breakfast. If you want to make |
the most of your day, fuel your body early with the right stuff. AT A TIME: WHAT TO DO THE IMPORTANCE OF studies have even linked healthy breakfasts with less |
chronic disease, increased longevity and better health. Starting your day with a good breakfast boosts your energy, increases your attention span, and heightens your sense of well-being. You’ll be in |
better control of your emotions. A good breakfast is one that provides at least one third of the day’s calories. Most people give a variety of reasons for not eating |
breakfast. A common reason is that they are not hungry in the morning, which is a result of eating a full meal late in the evening or late snacking. When |
they go to bed, the body is still busy digesting all that food. Digestion then goes into a slower gear during the hours of sleep and there is still food |
in the stomach in the morning. The stomach needs a rest too. A tired stomach does not feel like digesting a big breakfast. When you get up in the morning, |
your glucose or blood sugar level is at its lowest point in the day. Glucose is the basic fuel for the brain and central nervous system. A good breakfast will |
keep you from being tired and irritable The effects of a skipped breakfast are short attention span, lack of alertness, longer reaction time, low blood sugar, decreased work productivity. Surely, |
breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Take time to eat a large, balanced breakfast. It’s a good investment of your time. Once you get into the habit |
of eating breakfast, you may feel hungry in the APPLICATION: HOW TO DO IT Breakfast is a great way to get more fiber into your diet. Plan wisely for a |
healthy breakfast. Many prepared cereals have added refined sugar, often hidden. Read labels carefully to select cereals prepared without excessive sugar, salt, fat, and excuse for not eating breakfast? • |

is fine. Caffeine may mask hunger. • You “don’t like eating breakfast?” It is in your best interest to eat breakfast. Take the step. Do the right thing. Eat breakfast. |
Simple, easy ways to add • Start Small. If your not a breakfast eater, begin with whole wheat toast and/or a piece of fruit. In a few days, add more |
food. • Choose Fruit for Breakfast. Fruit gives you fiber. Fresh fruit is the best choice. There are many to choose from: oranges, grapefruits, apples, bananas, grapes, kiwis, mangos, melons, |
berries. Eat two servings of fruit every morning. Canned fruit packed in juice is also a good choice. Add dried fruit to your cereal. • Eat High Fiber Hot Cereal. |
Hot cereal is the best choice, but there are several brands of cold cereal on the market that are high in fiber and low in sugar. Oatmeal is a favorite |
hot cereal. Try a seven grain cereal and experiment with different grains such as millet, brown rice, quinoa, corn grits for a variety. Try cooking grains in a crock pot |
overnight and it’s already the next morning. Or cook up a large batch and re-heat the next day. Make your own granola. Add a high fiber cereal to your favorite |
low fiber cereal. Gradually increase the amount of the high fiber cereal and decrease the amount of the low fiber cereal. For example, if you like cornflakes, add Wheat Chex |
to the cornflakes. Each morning add a little more Wheat Chex and a little less • Choose Whole Grain Bread. Eat two slices of toast in the morning or a |
whole grain bagel. Spread with fruit spread or applesauce or your favorite nut butter. • Make Healthy Pancakes or Waffles. Have you ever considered topping your pancakes or waffles with |
fruit? • Instead of scramble eggs try scrambled tofu. You’re in for a • The sky’s the limit. The only limitation is your imagination. Make it a priority. Eat breakfast. |
High fiber, ready to eat cereals and whole grain breads. --Choose a cereal with at least 3-5 grams of fiber per serving. --Choose cereal that have 5 grams or less |

And remember, Health is by Choice...not by chance! The choice is yours. You don't have to be a statistic. By adopting a better diet and wiser lifestyle habits, you can |
live longer, feel better, and enjoy a healthier, more productive life. While it may be considered "helpful", individuals without a masters in health administration degree, nutrition & fitness degree, or |
even an MBA in healthcare degree are capable of taking care of their bodies. All a person needs is the motivation to be healthy! Nancy Schmieder works with the Better |

The National Drought Mitigation Center in Lincoln, Nebraska,says drought has produced an above-normal wildfire potential this season along the leeward sides of all the Hawaiian Islands, including the western third of Hawaii Island. Most of our state has received above-normal precipitation, but not parts of Hawaii Islan... |
danger of out-of-control brush fires is significant. Elsewhere on the United States mainland, the situation is similar. The NDMC says snowpack was disappointing in many states–in Colorado and Utah, they had only half the usual snowpack. Colorado had its first wildfire of 2012 last month in a conflagration that took |
700 firefighters more than a week to control the fire. January and February were the driest on record in California. Hawaii County Fire Department warns residents to clear brush from near their houses, and to have an evacuation plan should there be a fire. They also warn that tossing lit |
cigarettes out of cars is not only illegal, but not trigger a fire. The National Drought Mitigation Center says areas on Hawaii Island and elsewhere that have not had soakings of brush, grass, and trees, and the wildfire fuels don’t have water and cannot resist fire. Hawaii Island’s west side |
usually has a rainy summer season and there have been some mauka showers, with residents hoping for more. Hilo has gotten lots of rain this winter, but other areas around the island vary in how much rain they’ve received. The NDMC, established in 1995, is based in the School of |
Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The organization helps people and institutions develop and implement measures to reduce societal vulnerability to drought, stressing preparedness and risk management rather than crisis management. It works with several different agencies to collaborate on drought... |
Scientists identified seven new species of bamboo coral discovered on a NOAA-funded mission in the deep waters of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. Six of these species may represent entirely |
new genera, a remarkable feat given the broad classification a genus represents. A genus is a major category in the classification of organisms, ranking above a species and below a |
family. Scientists expect to identify more new species as analysis of samples continues. "These discoveries are important, because deep-sea corals support diverse seafloor ecosystems and also because these corals may |
be among the first marine organisms to be affected by ocean acidification," said Richard Spinrad, Ph.D., NOAA's assistant administrator for Oceanic and Atmospheric Research. Ocean acidification is a change in |
ocean chemistry due to excess carbon dioxide. Researchers have seen adverse changes in marine life with calcium-carbonate shells, such as corals, because of acidified ocean water. "Deep-sea bamboo corals also |
produce growth rings much as trees do, and can provide a much-needed view of how deep ocean conditions change through time," said Spinrad. Rob Dunbar, a Stanford University scientist, was |
studying long-term climate data by examining long-lived corals. "We found live, 4,000-year-old corals in the Monument meaning 4,000 years worth of information about what has been going on in the |
deep ocean interior." "Studying these corals can help us understand how they survive for such long periods of time as well as how they may respond to climate change in |
the future," said Dunbar. Among the other findings were a five-foot tall yellow bamboo coral tree that had never been described before, new beds of living deepwater coral and sponges, |
and a giant sponge scientists dubbed the "cauldron sponge," approximately three feet tall and three feet across. Scientists collected two other sponges which have not yet been anal |Contact: Christine |
Diamond Says Sleep With Your Kids, Spare Parents: Books Human beings and apes went their separate ways 6 million years ago, Jared Diamond notes near the beginning of “The World Until Yesterday.” Yet agriculture has been around for just 11,000 years, and the first state government arose only 5,400 years ago.

losses during the 20th century (even if the numbers seem less dramatic at first because they aren’t in the millions). That’s why they’ve so often accepted state control with so little protest: Since states, for their own reasons, suppress tribal warfare, life under their authority is less dangerous and a lot more pleas... |
fascinating information of this kind. But because Diamond has constructed it as a series of lessons we can learn from what once were called primitive peoples, it’s also problematic. I don’t doubt his good faith when he declares, “My own outlook on life has been transformed and enriched by my years among one set of trad... |
Guinea.” (He previously wrote about these societies, among others, in his Pulitzer Prize-winning book, “Guns, Germs and Steel.”) But then what does he tell us we can learn from them? To value mediation as a method of settling legal disputes. To treat the elderly with greater dignity. To watch our salt and sugar intake.... |
that? Diamond’s most intriguing discussion, in terms of novel and usable information, involves child rearing. I was happy to find him advocating, for example, that parents allow small children to share their beds; I’m still mad about how strictly my own parents barred me from theirs. But even when Diamond offers convin... |
in the children of hunter-gatherers, he dulls them with an irritating habit of belaboring the hyper-obvious: “Naturally, I’m not saying that we should emulate all child-rearing practices of hunter-gatherers. I don’t recommend that we return to the hunter-gatherer practices of selective infanticide, high risk of death i... |
on the elderly: “I don’t know any individual American whose devoted care of his aged parents goes as far as pre- chewing their food, nor any who has strangled his aged parents and been publicly commended as a good son for doing so.” Much like his friends in the New Guinea jungle, for whom “there is no time pressure, no |
schedule,” Diamond is in no hurry to get where he’s going. What disturbs me more than the leisurely blandness of his style, though, is his apparent conviction (or maybe it came from his agent or his publisher) that he had to make his book relevant by delivering news you can use. The idea that knowledge isn’t sufficient... |
March 22, 2000 UPTON, NY - Painting a bridge can be a costly and time-consuming undertaking, especially if the paint job doesn't last. So scientists have been working on ways to test paint durability before the brushes even get wet. At a March 22 session at the American Physical Society meeting in Minneapolis, scientis... |
Kansas City, who worked in collaboration with physicist Bent Nielsen of the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, will present findings that could lead to the development of an extremely sensitive and quick durability test. The technique is called positron annihilation. Essentially, the scientists... |
When these "antielectrons" interact with the electrons in the molecules of the paint, they annihilate one another and send out gamma rays that give the scientists information about the molecules in the paint. The technique can detect nanometer-scale holes and defects in the paint molecules; free radicals, which indicat... |

"These experiments show that this technique is extremely sensitive to detecting damage early," says Brookhaven's Nielsen - well before the formation of any visible cracks in the paint. "So you can test the paint on a much shorter time scale - a day instead of half a year. That's a big advantage,... |
typically test the paint samples before and after exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, one of the components of sunlight known to damage bridge coatings.

- slide 1 of 4 There are two ways of fighting fire on board a ship - by using portable marine fire fighting equipments or by using different types of fixed fire fighting installations. The type of system used for fighting fire depends on the intensity and type of fire. |
Moreover, not all types of fixed fire installation systems can be used for any type of ship. A specific type of fixed fire fighting installation can be used only for a certain type of ship. In this article we will learn about a ship's fire main or the main fire |
fighting installation system. - slide 2 of 4 A ship's main emergency fire system consist of a specific number of fire hydrants located at strategic positions across the ship. A series of dedicated pumps are provided to supply to these fire hydrants. The number and capacity of pumps required for |
a particular type of ship is decided by an international governing authority. All these pumps are supplied power from the main power system. Apart from that, an emergency fire pump is also provided , which is located remote from the machinery space. The emergency fire pump has its own independent |
means of power source, which can be used to take over in case of main power failure. Moreover, all the hydrant outlets are provided with an isolating valve so as to isolate those valves which are not in use. The fire hydrants are also provided with standard size flanges in |
