Avoid Christmas injuries.



Christmas Lights and Christmas Ornaments with Cool Light Effect by ParentingPatch

Of the 350 reported fairy light injuries, most occurred whilst decorating. Injuries include people falling while putting up the lights, children swallowing the bulbs, and people getting electric shocks and burns from faulty lights. Lights can also have fatal consequences with an alarming number of deaths caused by people watering the tree with the lights switched on.

Accidents can be avoided by ensuring your fairy lights come with a safety mark, such as the BSI Kitemark. Only use lights outdoors if they were intended for that purpose and turn them off before you go to bed at night. It is also recommended that you replace your lights every three years and keep them out of reach of children

Around 1,000 people each year suffer Christmas tree related injuries. According to RoSPA, these injuries usually occur while fixing lights, stars and decorations to the higher branches. Other injuires include pine-related eye injuries as people reached for presents.

Thinking of Presents, people often trip over toys and electric cables. Other Christmas Day accidents include people cutting themselves when they try to open presents too quickly and people accidentally stabbing themselves with scissors, which they’ve used instead of using a screwdriver, to assemble toys.



Christmas Pudding by Matt Riggott

Holiday season is a time to break with the diet and indulge. Just as long as you don’t over indulge. Hospital admissions for alcohol related accidents and injuries go through the roof as people drink 41 per cent more in December than the monthly average.

It goes without saying you should never drink and drive.

There’s also a risk from eating the festive bird. Around 30 people die from food poisoning in the UK each Christmas. 80 per cent of people wash the turkey before cooking it, spreading germs to kitchen surfaces. It also takes hours to cook a turkey properly. Undercook turkey and you could contract salmonella poisoning. And one in five of us risk food poisoning from eating turkey leftovers which have spent longer than the recommended two days in the fridge.

Survivors party time!

 The world did not end on December 21st 2012. Time to party?

Ideas that the Mayan calendar predicted the end of the world were being debunked in the run up to the Apocalypse. Scholars were saying that the calendar only marked the end of the 13th baktun cycle. Geoffrey Braswell, professor of Maya archaeology, is quoted in Dallas News, as saying “There are two monuments that mention this date, the end of this cycle of the 13th baktun. But there is a very long inscription at [the archaeological site] Palenque that talks about events further in the future, and that would seem to suggest that the Maya did not think the world would end.” Indeed, the ancient Maya had even larger cycles of time than the baktun, with some inscriptions that survive pointing to years as far ahead in our Gregorian calendar as 4772.

 

So the mayan prophecy is consigned to history with a lot of other end of the world predictions.

Remember people being worried about Y2K and the Millennium Bug back at the start of the century? The Millennium Bug was thought to be a threat to technology as computers reset to “00”, implying the year was 1900 instead of 2000. The confusion was expected to lead to errors in software, causing banking systems and weapon systems to fail. Planes were expected to fall from the sky. The crisis would lead to chaos around the planet. However, at midnight on January 1, 2000, the world celebrated the new millennium without any chaos.

More recently, American radio host Harold Camping predicted the apocalypse would come on October 21 2011. However, he had also predicted the “Rapture” would take place on May 21, 2011, when God’s people would be assumed into heaven leaving the rest of humanity behind on Earth to await their doom. Neither event occured.

This is similar in nature to the prediction by Chicago housewife Dorothy Martin that the world was to end in a great flood before dawn on December 21, 1954. She convinced followers that a flying saucer from planet Clarion would rescue the true believers before the inevitable destruction of Earth.

Then there were the “Black hole” theories based on the Large Hadron Collider experiments in Geneva, Switzerland. Some people suggested that the energies set free by the controlled collisions of particles at very high speeds would form a black hole powerful enough to consume Earth and all life on it. However, high-profile studies show that there are no such dangers associated with the experiments.

So,why not gather some friends and throw a survivors party? You know you want to.

Mystery Parties and Murder Mystery Parties are available from www.itmgames.co.uk and, for a limited time, for each full price game bought before 24th December 2012, you get a £10 voucher towards a second game.

Safe Drive Stay Alive

 

 

The Safe Drive Stay Alive campaign aims to influence behaviour and attitude on the roads, by targeting new and pre-drivers in an emotive and hard-hitting way.

This is a road safety campaign partnership that links local councils and their local emergency services.

Safiah Ishfaq organised a three day event for Waltham Forest council and invited local schools and colleges to send audiences. Kiss FM’s DJ Big Ted welcomed the teenagers to a presentation of “Safe Drive Stay Alive” at the Chingford Assembly halls this week.

Yes there is a film, but this is not another boring road safety film. This is an interactive presentation where members of the emergency services and people affected by traffic accidents tell the audience what it is really like to be involved in a traffic accident.

The film begins with a couple of young girls accepting a lift from two boys who have been drinking and the group suffering a horrific crash. It is interspersed by talks from people telling their experiences of traffic accidents.

The first is Sharon Saudy, a paramedic who tells about a crash at the Billet roundabout.  “It was carnage,” she said. “The driver was going 80mph. He lost control and slammed the car into the concrete roundabout. The man in the back had had his bike across his lap. He was decapitated by his own bike.” The film continues with the four characters trapped in the car, waiting to be rescued by the emergency services.

A firefighter from Walthamstow graphically described attending a collision where the car involved had been trapped on its side between railings and a lamppost. Then PC Jason Clauson, who’s  job it is to inform families a loved one has died, tells how “My first fatal was when I was sitting in traffic and a drunk driver hit a car side on and it flipped over. I saw something fly out of the window. It was a seven year old girl.”

Nick Bennett told the shocked audience how he had been driving without a seat belt 10 years ago when he tried to overtake a car and lost control. He had a head-on collision with a truck which nearly cost him his life. He awoke three and a half weeks later in hospital, having suffered a brain injury. He has since lost his leg due to his accident. He said: “My message is please, please, please don’t think that you can drive dangerously without suffering the consequences. Take a look at the people sitting around you. They’re your friends and they will probably be the ones to egg you on in your car to take unnecessary risks but ask yourself one question. Will those friends still come and visit you when you’re stuck in a wheelchair because mine don’t.”

The last speaker at the presentation was bereaved father, George Atkinson, who lost his 16 year old daughter when a car mounted a pavement ploughing into her.

The film ends with a roundup of the outcomes for the four victims.
The audience are then free to leave, passing the participants on their way out. The experience is so hard hitting they leave in near silence. A few are in tears.

As PC Clauson said, their parents would rather get a call from them at 2 am asking to be collected, than a call from him at 2 am saying they had been killed.

Guy Fawkes

 

 

Guy Fawkes, from 'Peeps into the Past'

 

Born in York to Edward and Edith Fawkes, Guy Fawkes was baptised a Protestant at St Michael le Belfry on the 16th April 1570. His father was a proctor of the ecclesiastical courts and advocate of the consistory court of the Archbishop of York, who died when the boy was eight. Guy’s mother later married a Catholic, Dionis Baynbrigge and Guy Fawkes converted to Roman Catholic.

Guy Fawkes went to Europe to fight for the Spanish Catholics in the Eighty Years War.  While fighting in Flanders, he was asked by Thomas Wintour to join a plot by Robert Catesby to kill the Protestant King James and as many Members of Parliament as possible.

In 1604 Fawkes met Robert Catesby, along with Thomas Wintour, Thomas Percy and John Wright and at the Duck and Drake Inn to plan the conspiracy. Over time they were joined by Francis Tresham, Everard Digby, Robert Wintour, Thomas Bates and Christopher Wright.

Catesby planned to blow up the King as he opened the Houses of Parliament on 5th November 1605, then to have Princess Elizabeth kidnapped from Coombe Abbey. She was to be married to a Catholic nobleman and installed as a Catholic monarch. The conspirators continued with this plan even though Prince Henry, the heir to the throne, would not be at the opening of Parliament and, therefore would not be blown up and could rightfully claim the throne himself.

Renting a house next to the Houses of Parliament, the Gun Powder Plot conspirators initially tried to tunnel under Parliament. Later, they were able to hire a cellar under the House of Lords in the name of Thomas Percy, which they filled with barrels of gunpowder. Having gained munitions experience during the war in the Netherlands, Guy Fawkes was charged with creating the explosion.

However, Francis Tresham became concerned the explosion would kill his brother-in-law, Lord Monteagle, so he sent him a letter warning him not to attend Parliament on 5th November. Being suspicious, Lord Monteagle passed the letter to Robert Cecil, who ordered a search of the Houses of Parliament.

On 4^th November Lord Monteagle and the Earl of Suffolk searched the Lords Chamber and the vaults below. They found a man calling himself John Johnson in the cellars. He claimed to be storing wood for Thomas Percy. At first they accepted his story, but later Lord Monteagle suggested to the Earl of Suffolk that he knew Thomas Percy and didn’t know why he would need to store wood in the vaults.

Having raised more suspicions, the King insisted the vaults be searched again. That night armed guards searched the vaults and discovered the thirty-six barrels of gunpowder and fire-lighting equipment as well as the wood. Guy Fawkes was arrested at midnight on 4 November 1605 beneath the House of Lords.

As the other Gun Powder Plot conspirators were rounded up, Guy Fawkes was sent for torture. Technically torture was illegal, and James I had to personally give a licence for its use. At first, he refused to speak under torture, but finally Guy Fawkes signed a confession. 

Guy fawkes torture signatures

 

 

He was found guilty of treason and sentenced to the traditional traitors' death - to be 'hanged, drawn and quartered'. However, when he was executed on 31st January, 1606 he jumped from the gallows, breaking his own neck. In so doing he avoided being cut down while still alive and seeing his testicles cut off and his stomach split open. His body was still hacked into quarters and his remains sent to "the four corners of the kingdom" as a warning to others.

In celebration of thwarting the plot to blow up parliament bonfires were lit across London. This custom spread across the country and 5^th November became a day of annual thanksgiving. Commemorative fireworks have been let off since the mid-seventeenth century to mark the occasion. The Guy Fawkes legend continued to grow, and by the 19th Century his effigy was being placed on the bonfires. Although the religious aspects have been blurred over time, and it is no longer seen as a day of thanksgiving, “Bonfire Night” is still a national celebration in the United Kingdom.

“If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet.” - Niels Bohr

Niels Bohr was born in Copenhagen on October 7, 1885.

Picture of Niels Bohr (1935) author unknown

In 1913, physicist Niels Bohr suggested that the electrons were confined into clearly defined, quantized orbits, and could jump between these, but could not freely spiral inward or outward in intermediate states. This theory later was supported by experimental evidence by Henry Moseley.

 Niels Bohr was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1922 “for his services in the investigation of the structure of atoms and of the radiation emanating from them."

One of the earliest and most commonly taught interpretations of quantum mechanics is the Copenhagen interpretation, which was devised by Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg and others between 1924–27.

In 1927 Niels Bohr developed and introduced the complementarity principle which shows Wave–particle duality - that all particles exhibit both wave and particle properties.

During the Nazi occupation of Denmark in World War II, Bohr escaped to Sweden and spent the last two years of the war in England and America. He was part of the British team of physicists working on the Manhattan Project.

Niels Bohr died in Copenhagen on November 18, 1962.

"Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real." - Niels Bohr

Quantum teleportation has been proven experimentally many times over, although it is not the type of transportation suggested in Sci-fi movies. It is still not possible to send a person or object between two places, only entangled information.

The technique involves entangling two things so their states are dependent on one another and each can be affected by the measurement of the other's state. Quantum teleportation involves separating subatomic particles from their quantum state and entangling them. When one of the items is sent a distance away, entanglement ensures that changing the state of one cause the other to change as well.

Want to play a mystery game involving teleportation?

THE PEACE ONE DAY CONCERT CELEBRATING GLOBAL TRUCE 2012

Peace One Day started 10 years ago. Peace One Day led the initiative to establish the first ever annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence, unanimously adopted by United Nations member states as 21 September – Peace Day. Peace Day actions have been introduced in areas of conflict, most notably in Afghanistan, where Peace Day agreements have led to the vaccination against polio of 4.5 million children in recent years. 

For Peace Day 21 September 2012, Peace One Day called for a day of ceasefire and non-violence across the world  - the Global Truce 2012 campaign.

Killing Them Softly

Killing Them Softly is a black comedy rated 18. George V Higgins’ 1974 novel Cogan’s Trade has been adapted and updated from 1970’s Boston to New Orleans in 2008.

Brad Pitt plays professional enforcer Jackie Cogan, the assassin who likes to kill people softly, from a distance. He hates his hits begging for mercy so he can’t kill up close and is unable to kill anyone he's met. A bit of a flaw in a top rated hit man you may think.

Cogan is hired to target the jerks responsible for robbing a Mob protected card game. However, he subcontracts the job to his old friend Mickey, a boozy, broken old assassin.

Directed by Andrew Dominik, the film cast includes Ray Liotta, Sam Shepard, Ben Mendelsohn, James Gandolfini, Richard Jenkins, Scoot McNairy, Vincent Curatola as well as Brad Pitt.

Halloween Party

Halloween is derived from All Hallows' Eve. It takes place on October 31, the evening before All Hallows or All Saints' Day. All Hallows' Eve incorporates traditions from pagan harvest festivals.
Halloween activities typically included  carving pumpkins or jack-o'-lanterns, apple bobbing, and telling scary stories. More recently, the idea of trick-or-treating has been included along with fancy dress parties and watching horror films.

 

 

If you want to throw a party and tell scary stories, why not try "Helloween"

This is a 6 Players mystery game from ITM Games.

The game is set in the very old manor house called MacArbe Manor.

The bad weather raced you and won. It has settled into a steady rain that could keep up all night. On top of this, it has added a steady wind that is now driving the rain as well as thunder and lightning. This is weather with attitude.

Your first sight of the house is as a silhouette with the lightning lighting up the gables and the thunder roaring in your ears like a demon.You are here at the invitation of Freddy Loren the new owner of MacArbe Manor. Freddy has purchased the strange old house and created a museum within it dedicated to his 'Starline Patrol' Stories. Is that why the mask of Death Raider is on prominent display or does it have a more sinister reason for being there?

Everyone has a curse to share. The question is, are they being controled by the mask, or is there a more earthly explanation...
