Men More Intelligent Than Women

Especially for the ladies :P

thanks ircspy.com (",)

The British Journal of Psychology claims that men are, on average, 5 IQ points smarter than women.
Research was based on IQ tests done on 80,000 people and 20,000 students.

Also noted from the study ... up to the age of 14, there was little difference between the two sexes.
Beyond that, it was found that twice as many men have an IQ of 125.

There were 5½ times as many men with IQ's of 155. The paper also points out that women at the same IQ are able to accomplish more than men "possibly because they are more conscientious and better adapted to sustained periods of hard work".

Apple hints at major iPod revamp

thanks ircspy.com (",)

Apple is hinting at a major revamp of its iPod music player range next week, after sending out invitations to an event in San Francisco on 7 September.
"One thousand songs in your pocket changed everything. Here we go again," the invitation stated.

The comment refers to the original launch of the iPod four years ago, which was one of the first hard disk-based digital music players at the time. Competing products used more expensive flash memory.
While the move resulted in mixed reactions, Apple has since conquered the market for digital media players.
Next week's event could see the launch of a video iPod, rumours of which have been circulating for some time.
Apple is said to have been talking to record companies about licensing music video downloads, and the company earlier this year equipped its iPod players with a colour screen.
An upgraded version of the flash memory-based iPod Shuffle could be another option. According to analyst firm iSuppli, Apple has recently signed a contract with Samsung Electronics to guarantee a steady flow of memory chips for the music player.

A third option would be the launch of the Motorola iPod mobile phone. The model's introduction has missed several deadlines and has been development for a long time. But things appear to be progressing after the handset received approval from the Federal Communications Commission.
The current version 4.9 of the iTunes media player also offers some support for mobile phones.
Industry insiders, however, maintain that operators are refusing to support the phone because it would force them to loosen control over the lucrative ring-tone business.
They also seek guarantees that the devices are synchronised over a cellular data connection rather than through a wire, ensuring them additional customers for data plans.
To circumvent the operators Apple could decide to set up a mobile virtual network operator where the company launches a new mobile brand and leases network capacity from an operator that owns a network.

Virgin Mobile already operates such a network in the UK and US, as does Disney in the US.

10 Years of Cell Phones show No Signs of Cancer

thanks to ircspy.com (",)

Using a mobile phone for up to 10 years seems to pose no extra risk of brain cancer, scientists said yesterday.

There is no substantial risk to phone users of developing acoustic neuroma, a rare tumour which occurs close to where mobiles are held to the head, according to the largest study so far.

Researchers could find no link between the risk of developing a tumour and the number of years for which mobile phones had been used, the time since their first use, or the total number of calls. Whether the phone was an analogue or digital model did not seem to matter either.

But increased risk after 10 years could not be ruled out because the technology was still so new, the team from the Institute of Cancer Research in London said in an article published online in the British Journal of Cancer.

Researchers collated data on adults from five countries - Britain, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden - where mobile phones were introduced particularly early.

One billion people use mobiles worldwide, and there remains concern that children may be more at risk of cancer because their nervous systems are still developing and they will be exposed to radiation for longer during their lives.

There is very little evidence of the effects on users aged under 16, although studies are planned.

The Department of Health said the latest report, which it part-funded, found "no hard evidence at present that the health of the public is being adversely affected by the use of mobile phone technologies".

But it advised people under 16 to keep calls short, not to use phones frequently, and to send text messages where possible.

This year Sir William Stewart, chairman of the Health Protection Agency, went further, suggesting parents should ban children under eight from using mobiles.

Eight studies on the risk of acoustic neuroma and mobile phones had been published before yesterday's, of which two suggested a significantly increased risk. One of the two concluded that this risk applied to relatively short-term users of analogue phones. Another, from Sweden, raised the possibility of risk for long-term users.

The latter research was subjected to fresh analysis for the results published yesterday. It compared mobile phone use among 144 people who had acoustic neuroma with that of others who did not.

But the "risk effect" was wiped out by the larger numbers of people examined by collating information from other countries. For yesterday's study, information was collected from 678 people with acoustic neuroma and 3,553 who did not have the tumour. All were questioned on their mobile use. Over the next year, data from another eight countries is expected to be added.

Acoustic neuromas are slow-growing tumours which affect the nerve that connects the ear and inner ear to the brain. They can cause loss of hearing in the affected ear and loss of balance but do not spread to other parts of the body.

Anthony Swerdlow, a professor who is senior investigator at the Institute of Cancer Research, said: "There has been public concern about whether there is a link between brain cancer risk and the use of mobile phones. The risk of acoustic neuroma is of particular interest in this context because of the proximity of the acoustic nerve to the handset.

"The results of our study suggest there is no substantial risk in the first decade after starting use. Whether there are longer-term risks remains unknown, reflecting the fact that this is a relatively recent technology."

The Mobile Operators Association said: "This study outcome is consistent with the significant body of research and expert reviews reporting no health effects from the use of mobile phones."

Scientists have yet to explain how radio-frequency fields from mobile phones might cause tumours. Unlike ionising radiation, the fields from handsets do not have enough energy to break chemical bonds or damage DNA.

Nano-material Harder Than Diamonds

thanks to ircspy.com (",)

A material that is harder than diamond has been created by packing together tiny "nanorods" of carbon.

The new material, known as aggregated carbon nanorods (ACNR), was created by compressing and heating super-strong carbon molecules called buckyballs or carbon-60. These molecules consist of 60 atoms that interlock in hexagonal or pentagonal shapes and resemble tiny soccer balls.

The super-tough ACNR was created by compressing carbon-60 to 200 times normal atmospheric pressure, while simultaneously heating it to 2226°C.

The properties of the resulting material were then measured using a diamond anvil cell at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in France. This instrument squeezes a material between two normal diamonds, enabling researchers to study it at high pressure using synchrotron radiation – extremely intense X-rays which reveal the material’s structure.

The researchers found their ACNR to be 0.3% denser than ordinary diamond and more resistant to pressure than any other known material.

While an ordinary diamond gets its hardness from the strong molecular bonds between each of its atoms, ACNR derives its strength from the fact that it is formed from interlocking nanorods.

"Our material actually scratches normal diamonds," says Natalia Dubrovinskaia, of the University of Bayreuth, in Germany, who led the research. Dubrovinskaia believes the material could offer a wide range of potential industrial applications. As it is stable at very high temperatures, she says it could be better than normal diamond for deep drilling and polishing abrasive materials. She also believes it will be easy to mass produce the super-tough material.

Challenge Refresh

Howdi Ho!

Thanks for the vigilant supervision Lee Bug a Lug. We still cyg free as of today. I can say as much for Wayne, he seems to be holding in there. In fact, I had a real weak moment this mornin. Came to varsity and walked passed these 2 smokers. Stressed to the max I took one wiff and my knees quivered! hehe. Hectic. I believe quitting smoking is a life time event. One will always feel an inclination for a little fag when one is stressed or out having a wettie or my worst watching Arsenal scrape thru the FA Cup!

The infamous R30 section was truly awesome. Big Up Cambox. We finished it last night at T cubed. Why didn't you come Bug? Thort you were. Sorry I didn't sms maybe I should have :| My bad. Well if you read this, this is your OFFICIAL invite to Thursday for a beet of Des Housewives! Any of you English folk watch or watched Desperate Housewives?

Keep It Flipside! Well... hmmm... nail those exams first... then take it flip side aah!

London Bridge Falling Down?

This is the kinda news the londoners should be filling us in with! Quite bizarre if you ask me. Thanks iol.co.za

London - Tower Bridge became stuck and caused traffic jams on Thursday after its arms opened for ships to pass on the Thames, less than a week after another London landmark, Big Ben, stopped telling time.

Engineers were still working late on Thursday at the bridge built in 1894 to try to correct the problem which happened as the bascules were raised at around 1.40pm but failed to close properly.

"We swung the bascules open again in an attempt to correct the problem, but it appears there is a software malfunction," said a spokesperson for the Corporation of London.

It is hoped that the bridge, which currently has the bascules raised, will be restored to working order by Friday morning.

Big Ben, the world-famous clock tower at the Houses of Parliament in London upriver on the Thames, stopped late on Friday night.

The 147-year-old timepiece - one of the most reliable in the world - stopped at 10.07pm, then started again, then stalled a second time at 10.20pm where it remained for 90 minutes before it was reset.

Hot weather might have been to blame - Friday was the hottest May in London since 1953, with a high of 31,8°C - but no one was certain.

STRIKE!!!! You're OUTTA HERE!

Yes guys I'm outta that "jol" they call claremont hospital.

They had to pull my drains outta both sides of my neck, which was a little hectic, but then it was homeward bound for Mr. Potato Head. hehe. That's the name peeps have decided to start calling me because my face is still swollen and my neck and shoulders are stiff as hell. hehe.

Well, I'm out... now I need to get my head str8, deals with some issues and deal with the drugs that are still in me (thank goodness). Then I must learn and pass my exams. Gonna be tuff but I intend to stay the course, being a cowboy and all ;)

So, the operation was successful. The Doc says that it went better than expected and that no voice box endangering surgery was necessary. Phew! Altho, my voice is pretty fcuked up @ the moment with my fat cheeks and all. I have no feeling from my ears and my jawline to the top of my shoulders and chest. This is permanent, so Rors ain't ticklish anymore! Other than that, I've gotta keep at the physio to loosen up my neck and shoulders, which I might add is fcuking difficult. hectic days.

I'd like to thank everyone for their support. It was really, really, really appreciated. Thanks for giving me the strength and will to recover. Love ya all.

Till we meet again... peace.

My Operation

Well, folks, that week went quick as hell. Tomorrow is the day. I've never had a "break-up day" which I haven't looked forward to. But what can you do. Speak to you guys soon. Should be out of the hospital Tuesday or Wednesday then its str8 to the hard grapht of exams.

Can't wait to just go home and totally relax. Get my head str8 b4 I nail my thesis. Yikes!

Thanks for the call the other night Daal & Oxo. Really appreciated.

Love to all.

peace.

Hackers Taking Hostages Now!!

A new web scam holds your documents captive until you pay a ransom.

Computer users already anxious about viruses and identity theft have new reason to worry: Hackers have found a way to lock up the electronic documents on your computer and then demand $200 over the internet to get them back. Security researchers at Websense uncovered the unusual extortion plot when a corporate customer they would not identify fell victim to the infection, which encrypted files that included documents, photographs and spreadsheets. A ransom note left behind included an e-mail address, and the attacker using the address later demanded $200 for the digital keys to unlock the files. The FBI said the scheme, which appears isolated, was unlike other internet extortion crimes. Leading security and antivirus firms this week were updating protective software for companies and consumers to guard against this type of attack, which experts dubbed "ransom-ware."

Heavy Cyg Puffin Can Affect Your Memory

A little update on the challenge first... I'm doing well. Didn't even smoke that much spliff this weekend. Wayny is surviving I think. 3 weeks and looking good. :)

here's an interesting article courtesy of ircspy.com

According to research, carried out by 5 universities, heavy nicotine use has a negative effect on day-to-day memory. Researchers asked smokers and non-smokers to rate their long-term memory. They found that smoking significantly impaired memory, with heavy smokers reporting the most errors. The survey which involved more than 700 people was carried out by teams from Newcastle, Wales, Northumbria, Westminster and Teesside universities. The teams took into consideration how much people smoked - a heavy smoker was classed as having more than 15 cigarettes a week and a light smoker between 1 and 4 cigarettes a week. Heffernan, of the human cognitive neuroscience unit at Northumbria University, said: "The result of the study revealed that smokers reported more errors in their long-term memory than non-smokers. There was also a significant detrimental effect of cigarette use on everyday memory function."

"For example, a typical heavy smoker reported 22% more memory-related problems than a non-smoker and around 12% more problems than light smokers. It is concluded that chronic, heavy smoking is associated with impairments in everyday memory, although the precise nature of the deficits are as yet unknown." The research was done via an internet questionnaire and published in scientific journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence.


**Eish! So if you're having about 6 blunts a week you're getting the negative memory effect of nicotine as well as the spliff's memory effects. I wonder if i'll remember this article next time I smoke? Aah who am I kidding... of course I'll forget!

Operation: "Get That Sh1t Out!"

Good afternoon fellow spliff.blogsters,

The easiest way to do explain this covert operation is to simply tell you str8...

Next week Thursday, 26 May 2005 @ 1100 hundred hours, I will be going for my neck surgery. If you haven't heard already (where the hell have you been) I've got 2 cancerous tumors in my neck that must get the fuck outta there. My doctors advised that it is best to get it out sooner rather than later. Hence, I have decided that I do the operation in between end-of-semester and exams. My first exam is on 13 June 2005 which should leave me enough time.

Wish me luck! Oh and I expect lots of big lavish presents when I'm recovering :) However, if this cannot be arranged then I at least expect some good articles to be posted on the spliff.blog whilst I'm away.

Over & Out.

Find of the Day

Hey... found this little joke/stab and thought why not post it. Thanks to www.bash.org


"A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you're a great guy, but I don't like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we're not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we're going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn't work out, we'll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.

The Challenge Continues...

Yes, ladies & gentlemen...

I lasted the whole of last week without having a cigarette :) I think thats pretty impressive considering all the shit that went down. Oh yes, plus I went out on Saturday and got shmangled and didn't have one. (well I don't remember having one at least - damn memory loss!)

Gotta keep the composure!!! Going to be difficult this week, more pressure from Varsity and thus more stress.

Very very hectic stuff. I don't think Wayne has had one yet but that's for him to know and tell.

Hope you all have a good start to the week. And to those who still smoke. Fah-Q!

Peace.

Ecstacy Can Block Cancer Growth

Maybe I should take some pills to make me better! :) hehe. Now that's what I call drug therapy. Cure cancer: "Shmoke some Spliff and Pop some Pills."

[The article courtesy of the BBC and ircspy.com]

A University of Birmingham team found that drugs such as Ecstasy, weight-loss pills, and anti-depressants like Prozac have the potential to stop cancer cell growth. The team found that the drugs were effective at blocking cancer growth in more than half of lymphoma (white blood cell cancer) samples tested. The study could lead to new cancer therapies.

Cancer growth was slowed down in 9 out of the 17 samples when they were exposed to anti-depressants, and in 11 out of 17 when exposed to one or both of the amphetamine derivatives. The research was supported by the Leukaemia Research Fund.

Professor John Gordon said: "We think that a range of psychotropic agents that are being used, or sometimes abused, for other reasons will now help us in our fight against all different types of cancer. We are excited that drugs like Prozac are effective in killing these types of cancer cells, as these antidepressants are in such wide circulation and have an impressive safety record."

Ecstasy, on the other hand, was not so straightforward - the dose required to block cancer growth was so high it would kill the patient. Dr Nick Barnes, who also worked on the study, said he was still hopeful of Ecstasy's potential to combat cancer. "Perhaps by breaking down the actions of this designer drug we can extract its cancer killing properties..."

Dr David Grant welcomed the findings by saying: "Around 10,000 people are diagnosed with a lymphoma in the UK each year and so the possibility that some of these patients can be treated with anti-depressants that have cancer-killing properties is truly remarkable. Clearly there is a lot more work to do before this becomes a reality but it is very exciting that there may be other, much less aggressive ways, of treating this particular cancer."

* Hiccup *

Top 'O the Morning on this fine Monday. The beginning of a new long cyg free week. Lanky has supposedly joined wayni and I today. Need you to confirm lanks. First a confession... both wayne and I had some cygies on Friday night. We were at a Camel Experience @ Deluxe and the booze was flowing and one thing led to another. Well haven't had since then. But still! Fuck quitting is tuff! So sorry to disapoint on Friday but the Challenge is in full swing again. Over and Out.

The Benefits to The Challenge

In order to get an appreciation of why we are doing this to ourselves I thort it would be good to show the physical/health improvements.

20 Minutes
Your blood pressure, heart rate and the temperature of your hands and feet normalize.

8 Hours
The oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in your blood normalize.

1 Day
Your likelihood of having a heart attack decreases.

2 Days
Your sense of smell and taste improves. Nerve endings start to regrow.

2 Weeks - 3 Months
Your circulation becomes better and breathing improves; it becomes easier to walk.

1 - 9 Months
Coughing, sinus congestion, shortness of breath and fatigue decrease and you have more energy.

1 Year
Happy Birthday! Your excess risk of heart disease is now less than half what it was a year ago.

5 Years
Your risk of cancer of the lung, mouth, throat and esophagus is half that of a pack-a-day smoker.

10 Years
Your risk of dying of lung cancer is similar to non-smokers'. Precancerous cells have been replaced.

15 Years

You are at no more risk of heart disease than if you never smoked.

[UPDATE]

I'm still koo. No gwaai yet. But i did have 1 or 2 jointys so 2nite will be a tester as i can't smoke, got to learn for a test. I told Wayne to come check out the site and add his 2 cents but it appears that he hasn't. This could be because he's already ignited a cyg and is now a little blog shy or he hasn't found time or has forgotten. I have my 6th sense telling me he snuck a little cygie in somewhere. Sorry wayne but you're gonna have to convince me that you're still on course.

Monday, May 02, 2005

The Challenge Begins

As of today, both Wayni and I have quit smoking. It will be the ultimate test of will! Who will hold out the longest? Hopefully both can kick the habit, but time can only tell. Wayni, who has attempted to quit on many an occasion, will be an outside bet but I too have succumbed to the pressure on a couple of quitting attempts.

Keep your browsers glued to spliffpolitics where you'll find all the news and updates about The Challenge.

Cheese can be as addictive as morphine

I especially put this one on for you Kirst :)

Dr Neal Barnard, president of the Physicians Committee on Responsible Medicine, says cheese is addictive because it contains small amounts of morphine from cows' liver. In his book - Breaking the Food Seduction: The Hidden Reasons Behind Food Cravings and Seven Steps to End them Naturally - he explains why people are hooked on products like cheese, meat, sugar and chocolate.

He says: "There's a biochemical reason many of us feel we can't live without our daily fix. Cheese, for example, contains high levels of casein, a protein that breaks apart during digestion to produce morphine-like opiate compounds, called casomorphins. These opiates are believed to be responsible for the mother-infant bond that occurs during nursing. It's no surprise many of us feel bonded to the refrigerator."

Dr Barnard says his research could help overweight people currently suing fast food restaurants, by proving the food is addictive like tobacco. This 'genius', or motivational therapist, developed already well-known techniques...but specifically, his secret is in a three-week diet and lifestyle program to help people kick their 'addiction' by changing their eating habits, exercising and sleeping well...what a genius!

emails Hurt IQ more than Spliff

Workers distracted by phone calls, e-mails and text messages suffer a greater loss of IQ than a person smoking marijuana, a British study shows. The constant interruptions reduce productivity and leave people feeling tired and lethargic, according to a survey carried out by TNS Research and commissioned by Hewlett Packard. Boycott Hewlett Packard.

The survey of 1,100 Britons showed:

  • Almost two out of three people check their messages out of office hours and when on holiday.
  • Half of all workers respond to an e-mail within 60 minutes of receiving one.
  • One in five will break off from a business or social engagement to respond to a message.
  • Nine out of 10 people thought colleagues who answered messages during face-to-face meetings were rude, while three out of 10 believed it was not only acceptable, but a sign of diligence and efficiency.

The mental impact of trying to balance a steady inflow of messages while getting on with normal work took its toll, the UK's Press Association reported.

In 80 clinical trials, a psychiatrist at King's College London University, monitored the IQ of workers throughout the day. He found the IQ of those who tried to juggle messages and work fell by 10 points -- the equivalent to missing a whole night's sleep and more than double the 4-point fall seen after smoking marijuana.

"This is a very real and widespread phenomenon," Wilson said. "We have found that this obsession with looking at messages, if unchecked, will damage a worker's performance by reducing their mental sharpness. Companies should encourage a more balanced and appropriate way of working." He said the IQ drop was even more significant in the men who took part in the tests.

"The research suggests that we are in danger of being caught up in a 24-hour 'always on' society," said a spokesman for Hewlett Packard. "This is more worrying when you consider the potential impairment on performance and concentration for workers, and the consequent impact on businesses."

420 Explained...

<Thanks to ircspy.com news for this article>

If you smoke herb, tree, sherm, floyd, grass, cheeba, the chronic, wet, weed or plain old marijuana, you probably know about the magical number 420. Most of us aren't aware of its legendary points and myths of origin, until now.


Myth #1 : 420 is the police call-in code for "Possession of Marijuana" or "Drug Bust in Progress" or "Hippie Smoking Herb".

  • Check cobras.org for all your cop related call-in number codes. The call codes are pretty universal and 420 is not there.

    Myth #2 : "Come Together" by the Beatles is 4 minutes and 20 seconds long. And if you know the lyrics, you know they were high as hell when they wrote it.

  • The Fab Four might have smoked a bit of shake back in the day, although the song is 4 minutes and 16 seconds long.

    Myth #3 : April 20th is Earth Day, so ya gotta perpetuate the celebration and smoke a bit of Mother Earth, maaan!

  • Check the calendar - Earth Day has been on April 22 since 1970.

    Myth #4 : THC (Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol), the element in weed that makes you high, has 420 chemicals in it.

  • The number of active chemicals in THC is around the 300-315 mark, depending on the strain of bud.

    Myth #5 : Dr. Albert Hoffman, the discoverer and synthesizer of LSD first dropped acid at 4:20 p.m., April 19, 1943.

  • Well, actually yes, he did. His notebooks can verify that. And if you wanna get all technical, he first tripped three days prior--by accident. Acid and weed are two completely separate drugs (only the U.S. Gov. considers these two the same).

    Myth #6 : When the Grateful Dead toured they always stayed in room #420 of whatever hotel they were at, duuude!

  • Dead biographer and historian for 20 some-odd years (and author of A Long Strange Trip: The Inside History of the Grateful Dead) Dennis McNally has gone on record as saying this is ridiculous...

    Myth #7 : April 20 is National Pot Smokers Day.

  • That's true, but it's only because of all this 420 horseshit! Haha.

    Myth #8 : April 20 is the last day you should plant your seeds.

  • This makes no sense - you can grow anytime, and anywhere.

    Myth #9 : The number comes from the children's nursery rhyme "Sing A Song of Sixpence," which is all about drugs. It says, "Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye. Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie." Get it?

  • There is no tie-in except for the number and the word "baked." Go to writingresources.com for the real story on the bird-pie thing.

    Myth #10 : In the H.P. Lovercaft short story "In the Walls Of Eryx," the protagonist talks of a hallucinatory plant with "shaggy stalk, spikey leaves" and the ability to seemingly stop time. When the slowed-down time in the story is checked, it's 4:20.

  • This is the coolest-sounding, coincidental myth, but the story has time checks throughout.


    To conclude: High Times editor Steve Hager, the pot periodical wrote a history in 1998, which found that the 420 phenomenon started in San Rafael High School in California, in 1971. A dozen stoners who hung and smoked together heard of a secret patch of homegrown growing nearby. They decided to meet at 4:20 at the campus statue of scientist Louis Pasteur to begin their search for the secret field o' weed. They never found it. But they started incorporating the time and number 420 into their language to slyly talk about smoking in front of teachers and parents. They then told two friends who in turn told two friends and so on and so on....Further documentation is at 420.com.

    I Love Friday's

    Finally Friday has arrived. Had my 2 lectures this morning and been working for cell-life this mornin. Tonight we going to go to the Reservoir Dogs/Squirrels Way Digs party. It's that one they had last year. Sponsored by SoCo and PLUSH is performing. Gonna be shweet. Maybe hit a little spleef, some booz and wander over there. Apparently it's just like those house parties you see in American movies. Not sure on the rest of the weekend. Enjoy yours!

    Tuesday, April 05, 2005

    Welcome

    Hey guys, this is my blog. Still not a 100% on how it works but will learn. Hopefully can add pictures and all that jazz and make it shweet. The best thing is that you guys can post comments or blogs to the site for me and all to read. Lets see how it goes
