Sunless Gloom: Seasonal Affective Disorder, Part I

Seasonal Affective Disorder, aka: "S.A.D," (not to be confused with, but related to, the Standard American Diet, which also uses the acronym "S.A.D."), is the term given to the feelings of gloominess, depression, sadness and melancholy when the sun doesn't shine enough. It's very typical for this time of year, winter, when a ceiling of clouds greets us when we arise in the morning and continues throughout the day, for days on end.

BIBLE: Its purpose differs from science

I read Dale Hedman’s letter and would now like to ask him this: Yes, an apple seed will grow an apple tree. But it may not grow a Red Delicious, Granny Smith, or even a Gala Apple. Why is that? Because the people who bred any of the above apples for different eating characteristics selectively bred these apples for the kind of characteristics that they desired. And that was through hybridization (which creates a form of mutation), as well as grafting to root stock. It actually wouldn’t take much to read up on this, any horticultural magazine would do. That being said, to produce these diverse characteristics among apples would require the science of biology, which Mr. Hedman doesn’t seem to want to accept. Has he ever picked up a gardening catalog, where the requirements for specific types of sweet corn is that they must be kept isolated from any other variety of corn? Well, the same selective breeding process went into the development of this kind of corn. Further, for it to “breed true,” with the specific eating characteristics advertised, it requires genetic isolation. An applied use of Darwin’s theory in agriculture.

Obstructive sleep apnea and driving

A simulation study by Dr. Akshay Dwarakanath, Dr. Mark Elliott, and colleagues at St. James’ University Hospital in Leeds, UK, to show the risk for people with untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was recently presented. The presentation was before the European Respiratory Society International Congress. A driving simulator was used that measured the ability of the driver to stay in his or her lane.
