This week I have just a whole lot of people doing those small good things to help others, to make life just a wee bit brighter for some.  Most of us will never have the opportunity, the wherewithal to do the big things, like flying to Ukraine to help people find homes, or feeding an…

JET acknowledges the declaration of the Cockpit Country Protected Area, but..

Petchary's Blog

On March 17, during the Budget Debate in Parliament, Prime Minister Andrew Holness announced that the Cockpit Country Protected Area has now been officially designated and gazetted. Is that the end of this long story, with its many twists and turns? Well, not quite.

You can find the Environmental Impact Assessments on the National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA) website here. NEPA had announcedon January 3 that a reduced or “clawed back” area had been allowed for bauxite mining.

Imaging Innovation for Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment

CRAIN'S COMMENTS

When not fussing with idiot truck convoys, the Canadian research community is making some serious headway in identifying cancer cells. “Imaging” is the art and science of creating pictures of what we can’t see directly. Opening up your body to examine the inside of your prostate, pancreas of breast just isn’t a trivial thing to do. Unless absolutely necessary, most people quite sensibly would rather not.

This most recent advance in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) relies on differences in the motion of water molecules in health and cancerous cells. The irregular structure of cancer cells causes this difference in motion. The new form of MRI is called synthetic correlated diffusion imaging, and it causes cancer cells to “light up” on the images the MRI produces, making them easier for the technician and doctor to recognize.

Why does a better picture matter? Simply, you can more easily see the full extent…

Russian author calls Ukraine invasion “stain” on country’s history

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine “will one day be written into textbooks as one of the darkest stains on Russian history,” internationally acclaimed Russian novelist Ludmila Ulitskaya told Kyodo News in a recent written interview.

“One man’s madness and his loyal followers control the fate of the country,” Ulitskaya said, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

She added that she believes Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine was motivated by his successful experience unilaterally annexing Crimea from the country in 2014.
