Mounting
Evidence that Carbon Nanotubes May be the New Asbestos - Carbon
nanotubes – thin, hollow cylinders made of carbon atoms – look very much
like asbestos. In 2004, the United Kingdom’s Royal Society and risk
specialists at the world’s second largest reinsurance agent Swiss Re warned
that once in our lungs, nanotubes may also behave like asbestos. Since then, a
series of experiments have demonstrated that when introduced into the lungs of
rodents, carbon nanotubes cause inflammation, granuloma development, fibrosis,
artery ‘plaque’ responsible for heart attacks and DNA damage. Two
independent studies have shown that carbon nanotubes can also cause the onset of
mesothelioma – cancer previously thought to be only associated with asbestos
exposure. Unfortunately, despite mounting evidence of the asbestos-like dangers
of carbon nanotubes, their commercial use is also growing rapidly – in sports
goods, car and aeroplane parts, reinforced plastics and electronics- from

- FOOD FOR THOUGHT- There is a bank that credits your
account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to
day. Every evening deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use
during the day.
What would you do? Draw out ALL OF IT, ofcourse!!!!
Each
of us has such a bank. Its name is TIME.
- Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
- Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you
have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over
no balance. It allows no overdraft.
- Each day it opens a new account for you.
- Each night it burns the remains of the day.
- If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours.
- There is no going back. There is no drawing against the
"tomorrow."
- You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get
from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success!
The clock is running.
Make the most of today. Treasure every moment that
you have!
Treasure it more because you shared it with someone
special, special enough to spend your time.
And
remember that time waits for no one.
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift. That's why it's
called the present!!!
