Floyd Mayweather vs Robert Guerrero

 
On May 4th 2013 Floyd Mayweather will enter the ring to fight Robert Guerrero, it will be the first installment of the six-fight deal he signed with Showtime last February. At 36, Mayweather would seem to be entering the homestretch of his Hall of Fame career.These fights will comprise the final chapters of Mayweather's story. So with each new opponent that the pound-for-pound king faces, it's only natural to speculate on how the fight will impact his legacy. While few people are giving Robert Guerrero much chance to win against Mayweather, there's no question that he is a worthy contender. He won world titles at feather and lightweight, and after his performances against Selcuk Aydin and Andre Berto, he left no doubt that he is a serious threat at 147.
The only fighters who could justifiably be rated above Guerrero at welterweight are Juan Manuel Marquez, Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley. Mayweather already beat Marquez, by a shutout, and he's not likely to fight Pacquiao or Bradley so long as they are signed to Bob Arum's Top Rank.
That leaves Guerrero, a multi-division world champion and future Hall of Famer. He's a tough, tenacious fighter who knows he's not likely to see this sort of opportunity come his way again.
For this reason, I believe a win over him might very well end up adding more to Mayweather's legacy than might seem likely at first glance. In historical terms, it could mark a new era in his career.
We've seen the Pretty Boy Floyd era, when Mayweather was a sensational young phenom, knocking off the likes of Diego Corrales, withstanding the storm of Jose Luis Castillo and delivering a one-sided beatdown on Arturo Gatti. We've seen the Mayweather of his prime, cutting down the likes of Zab Judah, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton and Marquez. To my mind, the amount that Guerrero adds to Mayweather's legacy is going to depend in large part upon how Guerrero performs on May 4. If Mayweather wins easily, his detractors will once more criticize him for taking a so-called safe fight.
To me, it has always seemed laughable to argue that a professional fighter with a 43-0 record is some kind of cowardly wimp. There are things not to like about Floyd Mayweather, but you don't climb to the top of the mountain in a sport like boxing if you are not a fundamentally tough human being.
So in a strange way, a harder fight against Guerrero could potentially add more to Mayweather's legacy than another easy walk in the park. Showing that he can dig down and overcome a little bit of adversity is the only thing he has left to prove to anybody.Fans love a winner, but they also love a hero with at least a touch of vulnerability. Receiving a bloody nose from Miguel Cotto last year pushed Mayweather's popularity to an all-time high. I don't think Robert Guerrero has the talent to hang in with Mayweather all night long. But I do think he is a courageous and determined fighter, and that he will give his all on May 4th. Another thing, do you remember when iron mike tyson went to jail and when he came out he got his butt whopped alot people were saying that something was given to him in jail that weakened him..........hmmmmm well lets see if mayweather has any better luck.

How does a pawn shop work?

 

Buying Items

• Pawn shops give customers a place to sell their personal items for cash. The pawn broker looks an item over carefully and determines how much money he can obtain for it. He then makes a lower offer to the customer. The pawn broker makes money when he sells the item at a higher price.
  For example, if a customer offers a working DVD player the pawn broker knows he could sell for $45, he might offer the customer $20. Were the DVD player to sell at $45, the pawn broker would make $25 in profit. If the pawn broker determines that the item cannot be resold, he will not make an offer to buy the item. The pawn broker must be fairly sure he can resell the item before he takes the risk of buying it.
  

Selling Items

• The pawn broker does her research and knows the details of each piece she has for sale. The pawn broker spends more of her day trying to sell items than she does buying them. She may have a window display that spotlights her best items. The pawn broker also will have the store set up in such a way that customers can easily find what they are looking for.
  

Issuing Loans

• It is common practice for a pawn broker to issue loans and take items from the customer as collateral. The items must have a salable value equal to or larger than the loan that is being issued. The pawn shop will then set a rate of interest, which is generally between 5 percent and 12 percent. If the customer doesn't pay back the loan on time, including the interest, the pawn broker can legally sell the item that was put up for collateral. If the customer pays back the loan (with interest) on time, the item is returned to the customer.
  
  

  Keeping Records

  • Many criminals steal jewelry and electronics, then sell them to pawn brokers for cash. Because of this, pawn brokers must keep accurate records of all items he buys or sells. Many states require pawn brokers to collect names, addresses and copies of licenses from the individuals who sell them items. This makes it easy for law-enforcement officers to track down thieves and recover stolen property.
    

  
  

  
  

Recycling - Minimize waste

 

Recycling can sometimes be confusing and it can be difficult to know whether you are following all the right rules. Improve your recycling efforts by learning some recycling etiquette rules here.

A large percentage of the world household’s still do not recycle enough and throw everything that they consider ‘rubbish’ into their ordinary bin. Much of this waste can be recycled and should be disposed of separately to general household waste. Look on the picture below to see how much of the contents should actually have been recycled.

How paper is recycle? 

Paper is taken from the bin and deposited in a large recycling container along with paper from other recycling bins. The paper is taken to a recycling plant where it is separated into types and grades. The separated paper is then washed with soapy water to remove inks, plastic film, staples and glue. The paper is put into a large holder where it is mixed with water to create ‘slurry’.By adding different materials to the slurry, different paper products can be created, such as cardboard, newsprints or office paper.The slurry is spread using large rollers into large thin sheets.The paper is left to dry, and then it is rolled up ready to be cut and sent back to the shops.

 

How glass is recycled?

The consumer throws glass into a recycle bin. Glass is taken from the bin and taken to a glass treatment plant, the glass is sorted by colour and washed to remove any impurities. The glass is then crushed and melted, then moulded into new products such as bottles and jars. Or it may be used for alternative purposes such as brick manufacture or decorative uses.The glass is then sent back to the shops ready to be used again.Glass does not degrade through the recycling process, so it can be recycled again and again.

Chris Gayle makes history

 

Chris Gayle a Jamaican cricketer hits the fastest century in cricket history. Chris Gayle who scored the fastest century in professional cricket did it off just 30 balls on Tuesday. The bowler from the Pune Warriors, who patrons accused of bowling poorely helped the Royal Challengers Bangalore won a hopelessly one-sided match. A double hundred in Twenty20 cricket achieved only a handful of times in 50-over matches  was a real possibility but Gayle admitted he slowed down in the middle part of his inning.

He finished 175 not out off 66 balls having hit 17 sixes and 13 fours beating the previous highest Twenty20 score of 158 by Brendon McCullum, also set at Bangalore’s Chinnaswamy Stadium in the first-ever IPL match six years ago.
Gayle’s attack broke a series of other records. Essex all-rounder Graham Napier lost his record for the highest number of sixes in an innings as Gayle struck 17 and helped Royal Challengers Bangalore chalk up 21 altogether, another high.
Their total of 263 for five is also the highest yet in Twenty20 cricket and not so long ago would have virtually guaranteed victory in a 50-over match. Gayle, who last year became the first man to hit the first ball of a Test match for six, was brutal as Pune supplied plenty of deliveries which allowed him to swing freely and hit straight down the ground.
He was handed easy runs at the start of his innings by Ishwar Pandey, whose first over was smashed for 21.
There are few more intimidating sights than Gayle finding his range and the margin of error for bowlers was tiny. But the seamers were guilty of over-pitching too often and the spinners could not slow the scoring rate.
Gayle swiped 28 off Mitchell Marsh’s first over and 29 off Aaron Finch. Pity poor Ali Murtaza, a young left-arm spinner playing his first game in the IPL. He was asked to tie Gayle down. His first over cost 28.
Englishman Luke Wright used his experience to mix up his pace and survived the carnage with figures of one for 26 off his four overs, but it was an ultimately futile attempt at damage-limitation.
Gayle hit two sixes out of the vast ground and one, which brought up his hundred, struck the corrugated metal roof of the stadium bringing down a shower of rusty metal.
That shot made history beating the 34-ball Twenty20 hundred scored by Andrew Symonds for Kent in against Middlesex in 2004.
The quickest hundred in 50-over cricket is Shahid Afridi’s 37-ball innings for Pakistan against Sri Lanka in 1996 while Viv Richards holds the Test record for a 56-ball century against England on his home ground in Antigua in 1986.
It was all in sharp contrast to Gayle’s last innings when he batted 17.5 overs against Rajasthan Royals for an unbeaten 49 off 44 balls. After 44 balls on Tuesday he had 115.
After Gayle’s innings the match was going to be a non-event and Pune duly lost four wickets in the first six overs.
Gayle had enough energy left to take two wickets on the only over he bowled. He celebrating both wickets Gangnam-style and still managed to look cool.

Why do young people kill?

 
The Boston bombing has made me investigate the reasons behind young people killing. Increasingly in recent years people around the world have tried to make sense of a senseless mass murder. When the victims and perpetrators are teenagers the act is even harder to comprehend. Why would high school students murder their classmates and teachers? What do such events say about our society? some factors that I believe contribute to the current climate of violence.

• The easy availability of guns  - Countries like United States has some of the most liberal gun laws in the world. While events like this have happened in other countries, only in America are the weapons easily available in quantity. In Jamaica guns cannot be purchased easily from a gun store but due to the high drugs trade and the greed for money teens gain access.
• The availability of information on explosives on the Internet  - The Internet allows information to come into our living rooms that was once very difficult to obtain. We have always been able to go to the library and find some of this material. Today volumes of it is available in your home at the touch of a button. Some of the Online material is more detailed than anything you'd find at the library.
• The breakdown of the nuclear family - Rising divorce rates and the blending of families make it more difficult for children to have good role models for conflict resolution.  Children learn from what they see, not what they hear.
• Violence on television and in movies - How many murders have you witnessed this week? If you've watched more than a few hours of television you have probably seen several. Violence adds excitement and increases ratings, but it also demonstrates behaviors that teenagers like to imitate.
• The breakdown of neighborhoods and communities - Too many teenagers gain pressure from drop outs or gangs in their communities to engage in violence for either power or to gain easy money. So lack of education and peer pressure plays a huge part.
• Healthy teen rebellion getting out of hand - One of the developmental tasks of the teenage years is to become your own person, partly through rebellion against your parents. As a parent it is often difficult to know when this rebellion is normal and when it has gotten out-of-hand.  Keep the lines of communication open with your teenager.  Consider family therapy if communication stops entirely during this period. 

Teens will always form cliques and they will always rebel.  One of the most important things that you, as a parent, can do is to talk with your teenager.  Avoid lecturing, and be sure to listen to them at least as much as you talk. Younger children should be encouraged to be involved in organizations which aim to develop a sense of right and wrong.  Avoid leaving children or teens unsupervised for long periods of time every day.  Supervise their Internet access and continue to involve them in family activities and family vacations.
Other solutions may take more than just parents. Communities can increase their offerings of recreational activities. Empty school buildings can be used to offer evening and weekend events. Churches can re-think their youth programs and offer activities which are interesting and meaningful to teenagers. Although teen killings will never stop, it can be controlled.

Are mediums real?

 
We have seen mediums on T.V. featured on shows such as Oprah, Dr. Oz, Anderson Live... some even have their own shows and they are very popular. Theresa Caputo who has become popular on T.V. She says she can communicate with the deceased, other popular mediums are Allison Dubois, Sylvia Browne, John Edward - all of these people claim to have a special connection with the dead. A medium attempts to connect with the spirit world, mediating between spirit beings and humans. Assuming they are not frauds (because some are) and actually do communicate with the spiritual world there are spiritual beings all around us. The Truth is the connection a medium has is not with the dead, it's with a with a demon, the devil will do anything, even comfort you if it keeps you from the truth of God. Think about it, the devil wants to confuse you, make you question your life after death. If he can lead you to believe something else other than Gods Word by dazzling you with knowledge of the supernatural then he's succeeded. He's not stupid, he'll do anything to keep you from going to Heaven. There are 3 references in the Bible where the dead were allowed to return in visible form. However, they weren't kept on earth in spirit form or allowed to communicate with the living about just anything. What do you all think?

The Common Cold

 
The common cold is a viral infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract which affects primarily the nose. Symptoms include coughing, sore throat, runny nose, sneezing, and fever

When a virus enters your body, one of three things can happen:

1. The virus can die, OR
2. Your immune system can activate and kill the virus, OR
3. The virus can survive, multiply, and produce a cold or the flu.

Prevention

• The power of produce: Plant foods contain natural disease fighting compounds called phytochemicals and antioxidants. These substances can enhance your immune system. Therefore, eat vegetables and fruits at least 5 times a day, preferably 7-9 times.
• Exercise: Regular, moderate exercise will stimulate the fighting T cells into doing their job – attacking foreign invaders like germs and viruses.
• Healthy Lifestyle: To improve your immune system and resistance to disease commit to these guidelines: do not smoke, sleep 7-8 hours each night, eat a nutritious diet that includes breakfast, and avoid (or take steps to reduce) mental stress.
• Germs: To avoid the spread of germs, wash your hands frequently with warm soapy water (for at least 20 seconds), and do not share cups or food.
• Water: Drink 8-12 cups of water every day. Water helps to cleanse the body and remove toxins, including germs. By keeping body systems, especially the respiratory system, well hydrated, you can enhance your virus-fighting potential.

After Symptoms Occur

• "Feed a cold, starve a fever?" Many people say they can never remember whether to starve the cold or the fever. The answer: neither! The best advice is simply to listen to your appetite because being neither hungry nor stuffed will get rid of a cold, flu, or fever any faster. "Starving" an illness is particularly a bad idea. Intentionally restricting calories only makes it harder to recover from an illness.
• Drink plenty of fluids: Drink significant amounts of water – at least 8-12 cups throughout the day. Additional water is needed not only to help fight infection, but also to combat dehydration brought on by fever. If you have flu-symptoms, vomiting and diarrhea also increase your need for water above the normal 8-cup requirement.
• Vitamin C: Take 250 milligrams each day for 5-7 days. Although vitamin C will not prevent the cold, it may soften the blow, decrease symptoms (such as a runny nose and sore throat), and possibly shorten the duration of the cold by a day or so. Also drink plenty of vitamin-rich orange or grapefruit juice. These provide vitamin C as well as the fluids and calories your body needs.
• Have some chicken soup! Researchers have studied the possible benefits chicken soup may have on colds and flu. While they’re not sure what the exact mechanism is, they believe that the benefit comes from something related to the smell or the taste of the soup. Eating chicken soup (or a soup that smells or tastes like chicken soup) may help increase the flow of mucus and clear nasal passages. It will not help cure or shorten your illness, but it may help relieve symptoms temporarily.
• Garlic may help stimulate your immune system. Include one to three cloves of garlic each day in your diet by eating foods like: garlic bread, spaghetti sauce, lasagna, salad dressing with garlic, and by adding it to pasta salad, soups and stews. Do not use if you are on a blood thinning medication.
• Echinacea: This herb is a natural immune enhancer. Use caution if you are allergic to ragweed and other pollens, have kidney problems or are pregnant or lactating. Take 500 milligrams (mg) in capsule form, 3 times a day on the first day symptoms occur. Then take 250 mg, 4 times a day for 10 days.
• Pamper yourself: Get plenty of rest and relaxation.

Poverty

 
Poverty is the state of one who lacks a certain amount of material possessions or money. Absolute poverty or destitution refers to the deprivation of basic human needs, which commonly includes food, water, sanitation, clothing, shelter, health care and education. Relative poverty is defined contextually as economic inequality in the location or society in which people live

 FACTS

• Almost half the world — over 3 billion people — live on less than US$2.50 a day.
• The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the 41 Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (567 million people) is less than the wealth of the world’s 7 richest people combined.
• Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names.
• Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn’t happen.
• 1 billion children live in poverty (1 in 2 children in the world). 640 million live without adequate shelter, 400 million have no access to safe water, 270 million have no access to health services. 10.6 million died in 2003 before they reached the age of 5 (or roughly 29,000 children per day).

Around the world, in rich or poor nations, poverty has always been present.
In most nations today, inequality the gap between the rich and the poor is quite high and often widening. The causes are numerous, including a lack of individual responsibility, bad government policy, exploitation by people and businesses with power and influence, or some combination of these and other factors. Many feel that high levels of inequality will affect social cohesion and lead to problems such as increasing crime and violence. Inequality is often a measure of relative poverty. Absolute poverty, however, is also a concern. World Bank figures for world poverty reveals a higher number of people live in poverty than previously thought. For example, the new poverty line is defined as living on the equivalent of $1.25 a day. With that measure based on latest data available (2005), 1.4 billion people live on or below that line. We often hear leaders from rich countries telling poor countries that aid and loans will only be given when they show they are stamping out corruption.
While that definitely needs to happen, the rich countries themselves are often active in the largest forms of corruption in those poor countries, and many economic policies they prescribe have exacerbated the problem. Corruption in developing countries definitely must be high on the priority lists and is increasingly becoming so in the wake of the global financial crisis), but so too must it be on the priority lists of rich countries. Poverty reduction is a major goal and issue for many international organizations such as the United Nations and the World Bank, its is almost impossible to eradicate poverty but there is much more the world leaders can do. 

The origin of AIDS

The origin of AIDS and HIV has puzzled a number of persons in the world mainly scientists. For over twenty years it has been the subject of fierce debate and the cause of countless arguments. So what is the truth? Just where did AIDS come from? The first recognised cases of AIDS occurred in the USA in the early 1980s. A number of gay men in New York and California suddenly began to develop rare opportunistic infections and cancers that seemed stubbornly resistant to any treatment. At this time, AIDS did not yet have a name, but it quickly became obvious that all the men were suffering from a common syndrome.The discovery of HIV, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, was made soon after. While some were initially resistant to acknowledge the connection, there is now clear evidence to prove that HIV causes AIDS. AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which originated in non-human primates in Sub-Saharan Africa and was transferred to humans during the late 19th or early 20th century. Two types of HIV exist: HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-1 is more virulent, is more easily transmitted and is the cause of the vast majority of HIV infections globally. HIV-2 is less transmittable and is largely confined to West Africa, along with its closest relative, a virus of the sooty mangabey. Most HIV researchers agree that HIV evolved at some point from the closely related Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), and that SIV or HIV (post mutation) was transferred from non-human primates to humans in the recent past (as a type of zoonosis). Research in this area is conducted using molecular phylogenetics, comparing viral genomic sequences to determine relatedness.
According to the natural transfer theory (also called 'Hunter Theory' or 'Bushmeat Theory'), the "simplest and most plausible explanation for the cross-species transmission" of SIV or HIV (post mutation), the virus was transmitted from an ape or monkey to a human when a hunter or bushmeat vendor/handler was bitten or cut while hunting or butchering the animal. The resulting exposure to blood or other bodily fluids of the animal can result in SIV infection. It is clear that bush meat practice provides the most plausible venue for cross-species transfer to humans. However, some loose ends remain unresolved. It is not yet explained why only four HIV groups (HIV-1 groups M and O, and HIV-2 groups A and B) spread considerably in human populations, despite bush meat practices being very widespread in Central and West Africa, and the resulting human SIV infections being common.It remains also unexplained why all epidemic HIV groups emerged in humans nearly simultaneously, and only in the 20th century, despite very old human exposure to SIV (a recent phylogenetic study demonstrated that SIV is at least tens of thousands of years old.

Police Killings in Jamaica

 http://www.newnusedlink.com
A Data compiled by the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) has revealed that more than 2,600 persons have been killed by the police since 2000. According to the JCF data, 45 persons died violently between January 1 and 12 this year. Of this number, 17 were killed by the police and one by members of the Jamaica Defence Force. Jamaicans for Justice (JFJ), the human-rights lobby which has led the criticisms of the police said that the circumstances surrounding the latest incidents of police killings "do not matter at this point". "It matters that police are killing people at the rate of more than two a day," said JFJ spokesperson Susan Goffe. The Police Federation, which represents police personnel up to the rank of inspector, came to the defence of its member
"To the best of our knowledge, the persons fatally shot by the police since the start of this year had engaged the police in shoot-outs, some after committing serious crimes including murders," said Chairman of the Federation Sergeant Raymond Wilson. Wilson noted that the police were the first protectors of human rights and "it is not our desire for the loss of lives of any of our citizens".
However, Wilson made it clear that in instances where criminals refuse to surrender and instead engage the police in gun battles, "the superior training and discipline of the police will stand supreme".
He added: "Where criminal gunmen shoot at the police, our members will apply their superior training and respond to repel these deadly monsters who have no care for whose lives they take when they engage the police," he insisted. Now it goes both ways because at times police do get involved in shoot outs especially with gun men BUT they also falsely accuse innocent people and carry out killings that are unorthodox.

Prostitution in Jamaica

Prostitution in Jamaica has become very popular over the years. Female prostitutes solicit from their homes or join customers in their hotel rooms (tourists) or private homes. A number of prostitutes dance in adult night clubs and a percentage of them are from other countries.
Massage parlours in Jamaica sometimes operate as fronts for brothels these are well advertised in local pornographic magazines and in official newspapers. Male prostitution is rare, since the homophobic nature of the country makes male prostitutes generally conduct their business in more subtle ways. Still, some male prostitutes have been seen soliciting in the streets some claim to be paying their way through college. In the tourist areas like Negril, Montego Bay and Ochio Rios, prostitutes, and other citizens, sometimes solicit themselves in the hopes of gaining a connection via their client, with whom they will later travel to a developed country. Sexual favors are often the result and money will be exchanged. Economic difficulties and social pressures contribute to the prevalence of child prostitution in Jamaica, as young as 10 years old engage in prostitution catering to tourists. Young girls are hired by “go-go” clubs or massage parlors. The government claims to have a plan to completely eliminate human trafficking  and that they have made significant progress in their attempts to meet the standards.

Is money really the root of all evil?

Almost everyday i hear people say that money aka mula, dead presidents, paper,cream etc is the root of all evil, when you examine things more closely, you’ll see that it is not money that really leads to evil. In my opinion, it is the lust for money, and for what it can buy, that causes this entire ruckus. Greed might be one of the biggest flaws of the human race. We are never satisfied. We always want more. This might have been born by centuries of struggling to survive. Whoever has the most gets the most. You’d think that humans would have gotten over this after all the things that we as a population have gone through. People kill for money because people have an insatiable lust for it. The Bible reference from which this idea is derived clearly states that the LOVE of money is the root of all evil not that money itself is the root of all evil. I think is was in first Timothy 6:10 “For the love of money placed before the love of God is the root of all kinds of evil.” So in other words if you place the love of money before the love of God you are doing wrong. God is not against money but God is against the worship of money for it is a sin therefore money love is the root of all kinds of evil. If you place the love of money before the love of God you are doing wrong. We have no right to say that money is evil for money can also be used for good as well. With the majority of the Earth’s population living in poverty we could use money to provide humanitarian aid.I could talk all day about this topic but i'll let you all think about it.
Just to quote a rapper - Rick Ross "being dead broke is the root of all evil"

Marijuana Effects

Marijuana which is also known as ganja, kush, mary jane, sticky icky is a dry, shredded green and brown mix of leaves, flowers, stems, and seeds from the hemp plant Cannabis sativa.The main psychoactive (mind-altering) chemical in marijuana is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol.
Marijuana is the most common illicit drug used in the United States & Jamaica.

How is Marijuana Abused?

Marijuana is usually smoked in hand-rolled cigarettes (joints) or in pipes or water pipes (bongs). It is also smoked in blunts cigars that have been emptied of tobacco and refilled with a mixture of marijuana and tobacco. Marijuana smoke has a pungent and distinctive, usually sweet-and-sour, odor. Marijuana can also be mixed in food or brewed as a tea.

How Does Marijuana Affect the Brain?

When marijuana is smoked, the chemicals rapidly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream, which carries the chemical to the brain and other organs throughout the body. It is absorbed more slowly when ingested in food or drink. However it is ingested, the chemical in marijuana THC acts upon specific molecular targets on brain cells, called cannabinoid receptors. These receptors are ordinarily activated by chemicals similar to THC called endocannabinoids, such as anandamide. These are naturally occurring in the body and are part of a neural communication network (the endocannabinoid system) that plays an important role in normal brain development and function.
The highest density of cannabinoid receptors is found in parts of the brain that influence pleasure, memory, thinking, concentration, sensory and time perception, and coordinated movement. Marijuana overactivates the endocannabinoid system, causing the high and other effects that users experience. These include distorted perceptions, impaired coordination, difficulty with thinking and problem solving, and disrupted learning and memory. Research clearly demonstrates that marijuana has the potential to cause problems in daily life or make a person's existing problems worse. In fact, heavy marijuana users generally report lower life satisfaction, poorer mental and physical health, relationship problems, and less academic and career success compared to their peers who came from similar backgrounds. Marijuana raises heart rate by 20-100 percent shortly after smoking; this effect can last up to 3 hours. In one study, it was estimated that marijuana users have a 4.8-fold increase in the risk of heart attack in the first hour after smoking the drug. This may be due to increased heart rate as well as the effects of marijuana on heart rhythms, causing palpitations and arrhythmias. This risk may be greater in older individuals or in those with cardiac vulnerabilities.Although many have called for the legalization of marijuana to treat conditions including pain and nausea caused by HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other conditions, the scientific evidence to date is not sufficient for the marijuana plant to gain FDA approval.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas, it is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and initially non-irritating, it is very difficult for people to detect and therefore will kill and this is what apparently happen to a mtv reality show star Shain Gandee. Carbon monoxide is a product of incomplete combustion of organic matter due to insufficient oxygen supply to enable complete oxidation to carbon dioxide. It is often produced in domestic or industrial settings by older motor vehicles and other gasoline-powered tools, heaters, and cooking equipment. Exposures at 100 ppm or greater can be dangerous to human health
Symptoms of mild acute poisoning include lightheadedness, confusion, headaches and flu-like effects; larger exposures can lead to significant toxicity of the central nervous system and heart, and even death.Treatment of poisoning largely consists of administering 100% oxygen or providing hyperbaric oxygen therapy, although the optimum treatment remains controversial. Oxygen works as an antidote as it increases the removal of carbon monoxide from hemoglobin, in turn providing the body with normal levels of oxygen. The prevention of poisoning is a significant public health issue. Back in the days it was also commonly used as a method to commit suicide, usually by deliberately inhaling the exhaust fumes of a running car engine. Modern automobiles, even with electronically-controlled combustion and catalytic converters, can still produce levels of carbon monoxide which will kill if enclosed within a garage or if the tailpipe is obstructed and exhaust gas cannot escape normally. I read that Carbon monoxide poisoning has also been implicated as the cause of apparent haunted houses; symptoms such as delirium and hallucinations have led people suffering poisoning to think they have seen ghosts or to believe their house is haunted.
