Rock ON!
...There´s a new blog and a new podcast. I hope you find them interesting.
It`s another fabulous day with brilliant sunshine here on the Costa Blanca and we'll get the forecast to see how long it will last as the rest of Spain looks decidedly dodgy....For those of a nervous disposition, look away now!
My friend, Stephen Howarth, gave me a copy of his book The Gain in Spain to read at the weekend. It is fabulous and will have you in stitches. It's a well written catalogue of events that have occurred during Steve's life in Spain.It's published by Management Books 2000. I can thoroughly recommend it.
Guernica was....an experimental horror-Winston Churchill, The Gathering Storm
I´ve just finished reading this fabulous book about Guernica. It's published by Picador and written by Dave Boling. Only one word can describe the book-compelling.
Well done Pompey. It must be a bit better for the bitter pill of demotion from the Premiership to be followed by a Cup Final date with Chelsea. I really can't see Pompey beating Chelsea. The stats are stacked against the underdogs but......as for Liverpool.........
Tainted water leads to cancer spike
I've been warning you for years about tainted water -- and now, one community is paying the ultimate price.
A cancer cluster has been uncovered in the Chicago suburb of Crestwood... where residents were unwittingly drinking contaminated water for decades.
The Illinois Department of Public Health says this small village of 11,000 people is suffering from elevated rates of gastrointestinal, kidney, lung and colorectal cancers. And while you can lead a bureaucrat to tainted water, you can't make him think -- because the report actually stops short of blaming the water itself.
But everyone knows what really happened in Crestwood.
The contamination was first exposed in 1985, when state EPA tests found traces of a chemical used in dry cleaning in the local well water. They alerted the village, which said it would stop using the dirty water.
That's when this story gets really, truly frightening... because the village then inexplicably continued to use this undrinkably bad sludgewater for 20 more years. Even worse: They stopped testing it!
That's right -- not a single follow-up test over 20 years. And if that's the case in a place like Crestwood, where they KNEW the water was contaminated, what chance does your town have?
Answer: None.
This toxic tale tells you everything you need to know about the inability of public officials to test and regulate the water supply.
It's sad -- but expect to hear about more Crestwoods. Water contamination is the next big crisis ready to explode, and your town may be next. Truth is, you're better off sucking up a mud puddle in a Third World country than sipping a glass of typical American H20.
Tapping into the truth,
William Campbell Douglass II, M.D.
P.S. They tell us we should drink eight glasses of water each day. Meaning... we should drink eight glasses of toxins that increase our risks of Alzheimer's, stroke, kidney failure, and even cancer.
