Stanton and Layard hypothesized in 1977–78 that toxicity of fibrous materials (particularly asbestos) is not initiated by chemical effects; they hypothesized that the effects of asbestos must be physical and that mechanical damage might disrupt normal cell activity—especially mitosis. There is experimental evidence that the very slim fibers (less than 60 nm, less than 0.06 μm in breadth) do tangle destructively with chromosomes (being of comparable size). This is likely to cause the sort of mitosis disruption expected in cancer.

He pointed especially to the massacre in the conflict-wracked southern province of Maguindanao in November 2009, in which the son of a political warlord gangster and his bodyguards gunned down and murdered 58 people within minutes, including 32 journalists -- making it one of the world's deadliest attacks on media workers.

In 1241, the Mongol army marched into Hungary, defeating the Polish and Hungarian armies and forcing the Hungarian king to flee. In 1242, despite meeting no significant military resistance, the Mongols abruptly packed up and hurriedly left. This historical mystery has never been solved. Until now.

When my grandfather found out he had cancer all he said was, "well, that explains it." He then listen to the doctor for about five minutes before he interupted and him and said straight faced if I do the treatments how long will I live. The doctor said there was no way of knowing but at least 6 months. My grandfather then asked him if he thought it made any sense to spend the last of his life fighting something that was going to kill him regardless and in the process giving the doctors and hospital his life's savings. The doctor looked insulted and my grandfather stood up and simply said no thanks. As my grandfather was leaving the doctor pulled me back and said there were ways he could legally force my grandfather to undergo chemotherapy if family members would agree. I simply said no, and then he mumbled something to effect of "you ignorant trash!". I turned on my heels, put my fist to his face and asked him if he would like me to show him what ignorant trash was capable of. Then he yelled for security... - Visitor comment by "Speak" posted below the article.

Geee, I wonder which Singaporean they're referring to...
KUALA LUMPUR, June 7 — Five NGOs today handed a memorandum to the Singapore High Commission here condemning the act of a Singaporean smearing the Quran in a social media video.
There are Ikatan Rakyat Insan Muslim Malaysia (IRIMM), Pertubuhan Martabat Jalinan Muhibbah (MJMM), Ikatan Usahawan Kecil dan Sederhana Malaysia (Ikhlas), Gerakan Refomis Rakyat Malaysia (Reformis) and Akhlak Rahsia Cekal (ARC).
A spokesman for the NGOs, IRIMM president Amir Amsaa Alla Pitchay, said they strongly demanded that the Government of Singapore take the necessary action against the culprit.
The 47-second video clip shows a person humiliating the Quran by licking and tearing it and using it as sex material on a website. The clip had gone viral on the Internet.
The memorandum was handed over to a security guard at the Singapore mission in Kuala Lumpur. — Bernama

Iodine (whether radioactive or not) accumulates in the thyroid gland, and with exposure to radioactive iodine (such as in the Fukushima nuclear disaster), what happens is that the radioactive decay of the radioactive iodine causes genetic damage to the thyroid gland (including activating proto-oncogenes and deactivating tumor suppressor genes), resulting in thyroid cancer. The only effective treatment (which works mainly as a preventive measure, meaning you have to take action the moment you hear news of a radioactive leak in your area) is to spam high doses of non-radioactive iodine (not as elemental iodine, which is readily reduced to iodide and is thus an oxidizing agent and thereby corrosive, but as an iodide or iodate salt), which works not as some magical bullet, but simply because of competitive inhibition, ie. the thyroid gland will have little propensity to absorb any of the radioactive iodine, if it is already saturated with non-radioactive iodide.

Cost of Living Is 40% Cheaper in Malaysia compared to Singapore; as such, Singaporeans can consider moving to Malaysia while still working in Singapore. (Of course, the chance of you being robbed, raped or murdered is also 80% higher in Malaysia compared to Singapore).

I love this review! Lol! ;Þ
Catalyst serves as a prequel to the 2008 game. Players step once more into the padded parkour slippers of Faith, a hotheaded young woman who works as an off-the-grid courier in the corporate-controlled utopian megacity of Glass. You will be shocked to read this, but something is rotten beneath the city’s glossy exterior, and Faith just may hold the key to blowing this thing wide open. If that sort of dystopian cyber-cliché sounds like your cup of dystopian cyber-tea, well, you’re in luck.
At no point does Catalyst’s narrative stray from its megacorp-approved checklist of megacity megatropes. You may have guessed that, as a child, Faith lost her family in a violent incident that motivated her to rebel against the system. Surely you will do a spit-take upon learning that her allies include a socially awkward hacker teen, a weary father-figure, a cocky young recruit with a lot to learn, an inscrutable Asian organized crime boss, and a dangerous loose-cannon “ends justify the means� rebel leader. Your amazement will deepen upon learning that Faith is up against a megalomaniacal corporate bigwig who believes in sacrificing personal liberty in the name of the greater good. He travels with a mysterious, deadly henchwoman. There’s a mission called “enemy of my enemy.� You get the idea.
The characters are dull and largely unlikable, and most of them seem pissed off. (I guess I would be too, if I had to live in Glass.) I appreciate that Catalyst bucks convention by making most of the story’s major players women, but it’s a shame that the characters themselves are such a drag. Faith is still a cool-looking, snappily dressed future-ninja, but mostly mumbles her way through her own story. Her most likable ally, a young tech savant named Plastic, is only charming fifty percent of the time and only in comparison with her fellow cast members. The rest of the cast is made up of gruff scowlers. One particularly shitheaded questgiver kept badgering me over the radio until my partner told me to “just ignore her.� Never a good sign when even the NPCs can’t stand one another.
Everything in Glass is referred to by some sort of doofy proper name: “DataTap,� “KrugerSec,� “HiCaste,� “OmniStat,� “GridNode,� “BeatLink,� or my favorite, “FoodDome.� The intent was likely to illustrate the branded vapidity of Glass’ corporate overlords, but it goes past that and winds up making every character who speaks these terms aloud—mostly sympathetic rebel-types—seem just as dorky and vapid as whoever coined them. Welcome to your Dystopian Future-City™, we’re your designated Scrappy Underground Resistance™!
