LAST WEEK, the talk in some quarters was that dengue fever had been banished forever from the Caymans. Of course, the next rumble was: If the Caymans can do it, why not the Bahamas?
That's where we should slow down and do some thinking.
The Caymans is now undergoing a controlled scientific experiment that shows great promise -- that is if there is no adverse fall-out from man's attempt once again to tweak nature.
While the Bahamas had more than 1,500 persons with dengue-like symptoms this summer, last month the Caymans reported its first local case, explaining that it was "most probably imported from the Bahamas by a returning resident".
Although the dengue carrying mosquito (aedes aegyptii) is in the Caymans, it has not been active. It is said that dengue fever is not endemic to those islands.

The Grey Extraterrestrials The laws of physics do not stop at the edge of space, so why should the laws of nature, politics, science and economics stop at the edge of space. Charles Hall has told me that the TW are in a cold war with the Greys disliking even hating the Greys, ... |

Separate incidents at Idaho nuke facility wake-up calls for downwind Wyoming On November 8, 16 employees at the Zero Power Physics Reactor (ZPPR), a fast reactor core decommissioned in 1992, were exposed to radioactive material when a shipping container of nuclear fuel accidentally opened. Seven of those employees showed ... |

A bid to neutralise the dengue mosquito This brings us to Newton's third law of physics that states that for every action there is a reaction of equal magnitude, but in the opposite direction. There is perfect balance in nature, when that balance is upset there are consequences. ... |

Royal Society makes historical journal archives open access Remind me when the winter fuel payment was introduced -- 200 years later, wasn't it? Thanks for this link - it's been really interesting looking through! I've been doing some digging around for work by some of quantum physics "founding fathers" from ... |
