How To Recognize A Stroke

STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters... S.T.R. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks. STROKE IDENTIFICATION: During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall -- she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and that she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the… Continue

Part 4: Whales and Dolphins: Threats and future

The great whales were most threatened during the period of commercial whaling, which ended for some species only as recently as 1986, but these animals and their smaller cetacean relatives, the dolphins and porpoises, are subject to a number of other environmental and anthropogenic threats. These include: deliberate hunting and capture, indirect catches and mortality caused by interactions with fishing and other vessels, chemical pollution, and climate change. History of Whale Stocks and Whalin… Continue

Part 3: Whale Species in the Caribbean: Who lives here?

The undersea topography of the Caribbean includes islands, offshore banks, estuaries, steep drop-offs and deep water basins. Coral reefs, seagrass beds and mangrove swamps constitute the coastal ecosystems. This diversity of conditions and habitats provides feeding and calving grounds for thirty species of cetaceans at some point in their life cycle. Some species, particularly dolphins and the larger odontocetes (toothed whales) are probably resident in the Caribbean throughout the year; others,… Continue

A Public Thirst For Darkness

There is a very alarming trend on which I believe I must comment. If you look around you, in pop culture, you'll see that darkness is widely sought after. Things that are marketed or presented as dark and morbid, are the ones which receive wide public acceptance. The following is just a sample of some of the insanely popular presentations that our society seems to crave. 1. The Dark Knight - We've had Batman movies before, but never this dark, never this morbid and never this sadistic.… Continue

Part 2: Endearing Giants: Behavior and Vocalizations

With complex social behaviors and groups, dramatic surface activity and a variety of underwater sounds, cetaceans are a very appealing and entertaining group of marine animals. Baleen whales are often spotted as solitary individuals, in mother-calf pairs, or in competitive groupings where males compete for a female. Where there is abundant food, large groups may also be seen feeding. Odontocetes are more likely to have larger, longer-lasting social associations. “Pods” are groups of mixed age an… Continue

Is Rising Stars A Falling Star?

I've watched the Digicel Rising Stars programme from the first season, and had great expectations for this show. However, after a couple seasons it has become apparent to me that this show has some fundamental problems. The whole premise of the show was originally to find the best talent in the Caribbean. This, however, cannot be effectively achieve under the present format for the following reasons. 1. Lack of Voting Restrictions The word "restriction" is usually seen in a bad light, ho… Continue

Part 1: What are Cetaceans? An introduction to the whales, dolphins and porpoises

Whales, dolphins and porpoises make up a group of marine mammals known as cetaceans. Fossil evidence and the anatomy of contemporary cetaceans suggest that they are derived from the artiodactylids (a group including modern-day cattle and sheep) that adapted to life underwater. Like all mammals, cetaceans have a constant body temperature, have retained the need to breathe air, and they nurse their young with milk. Adaptations include the modification of forelimbs into flippers, the loss of hindli… Continue

Our Top 10 Classic Sesame Street Songs

Growing up, I watch Sesame Street daily, and the quality of the content was so high that even the grown ups in the family watched it faithfully too. We thought that it would be an interesting trip down memory lane for some of our users to do a "Top 10 list". We decided to do a top 10 list of classic songs. This was no easy task, so we had to set some criteria to make the job easier. This list only comprises songs that feature at least one main character, and the entries are judged based not onl… Continue

The Portuguese Man O' War

The Portuguese Man O' War or "blue jellyfish" looks pretty in the water, but those who have had the misfortune to come into contact with it avoid it forever after. Though commonly thought of as a jellyfish, it is actually a siphonophore (a colony of specialised polyps and medusoids). … Continue

Fighting The Common Cold

The common cold is something that effects each and everyone of use at some point in time.

The first thing we're going to look at, is the symptoms of the common cold. Sometimes we mistake the cold for something else a… Continue
