8 December 2011 We still don’t understand exactly what consciousness is made of or where it resides. Lorimer Moseley gives a good summary of some of the latest hypotheses but sadly none of them answer the question definitively. The question is important because if we need consciousness to experience pain, as many believe, then to know more [...] 14 November 2011 Instead of pounding away to heavy metal or whatever compilation your instructor brings to the class, why not have live music while you spin. Something uplifting and traditional and very Spanish. “Spinning a ritmo de jota” from Zaragoza. Enjoy … [...] 18 August 2011 Wiltshire fire and rescue service has issued a warning about the risk of towels and linen catching fire. There have been several incidents recently in laundrettes, salons and homes where fires have started in tumble driers. The problem has been traced to low temperature wash cycles, sometimes as low as 15°C. At this temperature the [...] 17 April 2011 According to the television show QI you are probably much younger than you think. When you consider that your body is made up of cells and most of those cells are less than 10 years old, then even if you have just celebrated your 55th birthday most of your body is less than 10 [...] 10 February 2011 I wrote last year how mirrors were being used to treat phantom limb pain.

You know the wine that you get for free with a five euro lunch in France, it will be high in tannins and other phenolic chemicals [...] 4 November 2010 We now know which parts of the brain are involved with feelings of anxiety, sadness and pain. See the Sky News article for further information. The two main parts of the brain that increase their activity when we feel stressed or anxious are the prefrontal cortex and the limbic centres. Recent [...] 11 October 2010 Red sludge is a by-product from the Bayer process, used to extract aluminium from Bauxite ore. Over time the sludge will separate into two phases, a highly alkaline liquid and a sediment of arsenic and heavy metals (mainly chromium, manganese and nickel). The two phases are usually dealt with on site in different ways [...] 24 August 2010 Yet another waste of time. What is this obsession with sham acupuncture? Anyone who is involved in acupuncture realises that the effect begins when the tip of the needle touches the skin of the patient. After that there are two variables: the intensity of the treatment and the responsiveness of the patient.
