Critical Things To Remember

Here are a few critical things to remember in any endevor, courtesy of Murphy's Law and  Ending Violence Quickly by veteran security and personal protection veteran Mac Young:

"The important things are always simple. The simplest things are always hard.  The easy way is always mined."

A lot of food for thought there.  Yes. The important things can be simple if you go about accomplishing them the right way. But the simplest things that should be easy nearly always carry hidden problems  that you have to be prepared to handle -- because -- as Murphy says, " The easy way is always mined."

Success in whatever you are doing is remember to ask yourself, "Yes it looks easy -- but what if? before you start.

a good and very tragic example of this is the case of what happened to Albert Chretien, a Penticton BC resident who started out on a short-cut back road while travelling to Nevada with his wife   during the winter of 2011

When their van got stuck in the much of the road he left his wife and started out on foot with a GPS device to find help. But according to the latest account  in the Vancouver Metro  Oct 2, 2012,  his GPS went dead and he got fatally lost in the heavily wooded area in the snow.

He could very likely have survived if he had taken the time to ask, "What if  the battery in my GPS goes dead or becomes faulty." before he left the van and started out on foot -- because where they found his remains under some trees was not that far from a nearby town and help.

Breast Cancer Danger from X-Ray Radiation

Study shows some women under 30 at greater risk from X-Ray and mammogram radiation radiation than older women.

According to CBC Health News a recent study shows that,  "women at hereditary risk for breast cancer who receive mammograms or chest X-rays before sage of 30  may be at higher risk for the disease European research shows."

According to this study women who carry  mutations in two genes BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 should be cautious about submitting themselves to X-Rays before age of 30 according to a  Professor Douglas Easton of  Cancer Research UK.

Doctors stressed that this does not mean such women should never   be X-rayed, but that they should ask for cancer screening through MRIs  or Magentic Resonance Imaging instead of using X-rays and mammograms.

Women carrying these mutated genes are definitely more likely to develop breast cancer as result of repeated X-ray radiation according to the study.

Are You Concerned About Smart Meters? ....Then

Are you concerned about the installation of smart meters in your house or condo?   

Then your first step should be to contact the Citizens for Safe Technology at :  citizensforsafetechnology.org

One of the things you will find there is a flyer you can download and print to distribute to others.

Among the very legitimate issues raised by this group is that first of all the Clean Energies Act does not give Hydro the authority to do what it is doing with these meters. Others include:

There is no accountability. There is No oversight. There is not public consultations. People will be exposed to constant micro radiation. People have no choice in the matter -- even for medical reasons and the new smart meters  create higher hydro bills.s

If you're not concerned you should be and at least learn more about the potential problems caused by these smart meters.

Suffer Adverse Effects from Hydro's Smart Meters?

If you are one of a fairly large number of people who who are sensitive to electro-magnetic  fields and  are concerned about  how the new smart meters will effect you take heart.

According to a newscast on Global TV  today  you can  contact the Human Rights Commission to make an application not to have the smart meter installed on your house.
