The Snore Wars

Snoring is caused by a few things, but the biggest culprit is a vibration of very relaxed muscles and tissues in the throat, which rattle against narrow breathing passages. Symptoms are worse when you are overweight, have a short neck or still have your tonsils. “It’s almost like trying to sleep with a straw in your mouth,” says Kayem. As you might guess, snorers should refrain from sleeping on their back, as gravity will pull muscles toward the back of the throat. Sleeping on your side is best. It’s also helpful to cut back on relaxants like alcohol and certain medications before bed.

The 1st of December, World AIDS Day, is the day when individuals and organisations from around the world come together to bring attention to the global AIDS epidemic. 2008 marks the 20th anniversary of World AIDS Day. Whilst we have come a long ways since 1988, there is still much more to be done.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 33 million people are living with HIV worldwide. Many do not know they are infected.

What exactly is BCE ??

CE stands for “Common Era.” It is a relatively new term that is experiencing increased usage and is expected to eventually replace AD. The latter is an abbreviation for “Anno Domini” in Latin or “the year of the Lord” in English. The latter refers to the approximate birth year of Yeshua of Nazareth (a.k.a. Jesus Christ). CE and AD have the same and value. 2004 CE = 2004 AD. The word “common” simply means that it is based on the most frequently used calendar system: the Gregorian Calendar.
BCE stands for “Before the common era.” It is expected to eventually replace BC, which means “Before Christ,” or “Before the Messiah.” BC and BCE are also identical in value. Most theologians and religious historians believe that the approximate birth date of Yeshua of Nazareth (Jesus) was in the fall, sometime between 7 and 4 BCE, although we have seen estimates as late as 4 CE and as early as the second century BCE.

Of course, one can always interpret the letter “C” in CE and BCE as referring to “Christian” or “Christ’s.” The Abbreviations Dictionary does exactly this.

The WebBot Project
A tool used to speedread the internet web in order to find patterns or waves of behaviour. This tool is believed to be able to forecast the future based on the web surfing habits of the information generation. The WebBot conceptualizes a future pattern of behaviour based on the new and recent psychological queries of the masses. This to some might appear to be a type of AI ( artificial intelligence ). How can a computer find reason in patterns.

The WebBot has predicted some events with a level of accuracy that warrant serious consideration. The data collected from the WebBot has been used in financial markets where greed and fear of the masses is known to drive price volatility. The WebBot locates certain words and from that focus point it reaches out into the information universe to quantify the word against other relevant words. This is beginning to sound alot like quantum digestion. Has the processing speed of information continues to increase will the WebBot be able to feed itself. In other words will it become a thinking machine able to process reasonable abstract images and realities.

If the machine does program itself from the information on the web then how would those decisions effect society. We all know that the internet is full of errors. Anyone can write anything at anytime.Perhaps in a future world the internet will no longer be a public domain or perhaps the public domain will not be available to a machine that is able to program itself.

How factual should the information be for the Robot to be able to make sane decisions without having a sane programmer in charge. Would you put your trust in a teacher or leader that was getting it’s education in an asylum. The asylum in this case is the entire web library. It has it’s moments of brilliance but in the end it is already corrupted with less than accurate data.
