I love studying safety becuase it shows that evolution is a total lie! And nothing highlights the lie of evolution more than the human macrophage system.
I will write more on the macrophage system for those Safety Insitute people that haven't the knowledge to get a qualification.
Macrophages are cells within the tissues that originate from specific white blood cells called monocytes. Monocytes and macrophages are phagocytes, acting in both nonspecific defence (or innate immunity) as well as specific defense (or cell-mediated immunity) of vertebrate animals. Their role is to phagocytize (engulf and then digest) cellular debris and pathogens either as stationary or mobile cells, and to stimulate lymphocytes and other immune cells to respond to the pathogen
My main studies were the macrophage system of the lungs and especially how our lungs are protected from toxins and foreign particles by the macrophage system.
But when we look more deeply into macrophages we find they are prevalent in the bodies entire immune system, to the point where they even play a big part in the development of diseases such as HIV and cancer.
Due to their role in phagocytosis, macrophages are involved in many diseases of the immune system. For example, they participate in the formation of granulomas, inflammatory lesions that may be caused by a large number of diseases.
Some disorders, mostly rare, of ineffective phagocytosis and macrophage function have been described.
Macrophages are the predominant cells involved in creating the progressive plaque lesions of atherosclerosis.
When fighting influenza, macrophages are dispatched to the throat. However, until the killer T cells for the flu virus are found, the macrophages do more damage than help. They not only destroy throat cells infected with the flu virus but also destroy several surrounding non-infected cells.
Macrophages also play a role in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. Like T cells, macrophages can be infected with HIV, and even become a reservoir of ongoing virus replication throughout the body.
Macrophages are versatile cells that play many roles. As scavengers, they rid the body of worn-out cells and other debris. Foremost among the cells that "present" crucial role in initiating the immune response. As secretory cells, monocytes and macrophages are vital to the regulation of immune responses and the development of inflammation; they churn out an amazing array of powerful chemical substances (monokines) including enzymes, complement proteins, and regulatory factors such as interleukin-1. At the same time, they carry receptors for lymphokines that allow them to be "activated" into single-minded pursuit of microbes and tumor cells
And hence the proof of God as the creator! How do I come to this conclusion you may ask?
God designed our bodies to protect themselves from illness and he did it perfect as we can see in the bible people lived to 800 years or more before sin became so prevalent.
And the creation of the macrophage system is no accident as claimed by evolutionists and their crap theories about the big bang and evolution.
If there was such a thing as evolution, the macrophage system would have continued to evolve we would be living longer and longer with less and less illness and disease.
But as can be seen with the increase in cancer for one that the macrophage system is not evolving but de-evolving and when we look at illness such as HIV, SARS and hundreds of other illness and disease we can be totally sure that the macrophage system is de-evolving, not evolving as the evolutionists suggest.
And becuase of sin and the turning away from God the human body will continue to de-evolve!
Proof of God's creation is everywhere we just have to open our eyes.

Road Safety - Statistics.
Again we find the news services have better statistics on road fatalities than the law enforcement bodies.
How pathetic is that? I would believe a big part is due to the police and law makers incompetence with focussing on behavioural change instead of designing safer roads!
And you look at the statistics that are published, their only criteria for causing accidents is Speed, Alcohol, lack of concetration and tiredness! Pathetic, pathetic, pathetic, What about unroadworthy vehicles, including worn tyres and brakes, trees placed on outsides of corners, poles placed on the sides of roads (including speed cameras), road conditions, weather conditions (black ice is deadly), to things like wearing thongs when driving and the reduction in reaction times from poor footwear, etc etc etc etc etc etc
Yep there are many factors but the statistics are in place to cover the incompetence of those leading safety, not only in this country but accross the world. I guess I'll never get a job again in safety becuase I will speak the truth, instead of these blatant lies and as we know someone who is in a responsible postion in safety without a qualification must definately be a liar, how else do they get the job becuase they aren't good enough to get a qualification but good enough to lead the SIA. Pfffftttt
Victoria is a great example with it's drug testing for marijuana, there is no evidence to suggest that marijuana presents any increase in risk for drivers yet the safety people in that state and accross Australia continue to focuss on something that is politically motivated and will not save lives, just make revenue for the government.
I guess if they make enough crap laws they will remove enough drivers to show a slight reduction in the road toll due to less drivers, but they will not save lives untill they start focussing on the objects that release the energy as anybody who had a little committment and a fair knowledge of safety would know.. But as we know with the SAfety Institute of Australia you don't need to know anything and show competence with a qualification becuase the SIA is not about saving lives but ensuring they get good paying jobs at the expense of those with knowledge and have proved their competence.
Safety is sooooooo corrupt in this country, those leading the Safety Institute of Australia claim they haven't had time to get a qualification becuase qualifications have only been around 30 years, well I say that 30 years is time aplenty to get a qualification and it just proves those without qualifications have been running and hiding so no one finds out they know nothing about safety and have never done anything to save lives.

Road Safety - ........
Seems the Safety Experts? have decided to cover up their blatant lack of knowledge in safety by focussing on in Car DVD Players! While I'm not going to debate the merit as I believe they are a distraction, I want to highlight the total hypocrasy of these uneducated and unknowledgeable safety people.
Just look at mobile phones they present the major distraction to drivers, yet nothing is done! It would be easy to have mobiles not accept or make calls when travelling over 15km/h but becuase these safety experts lack knowledge or any guts to present the honest truth mobile phones will continue to distract.
And the latest expert on the T.V. is claiming it is more important for young drivers to have 100% concentration when driving, while commenting on DVD players. Well that just shows how arrogant these safety experts are, especially the SIA leaders who fail to keep these comments in check but ban those that have the committment to get a qualification.
Well I tell this expert that it is important that all drivers commit 100% concentration to driving, not as he says young drivers. But that is a reflection of the Safety Institute of Australia's attitude, they believe when they are experienced they are good at something, to the extent they don't think they need to concentrate as hard as a young driver.
Pathetic the lot of them! The Safety Institute of Australia believes that experience counts for everything, well I tell you I've seen scores of safety officers that have been doing the job for 20 years yet they have no idea about safety and saving lives.
The Safety Institute of Australia will go to extreme measures to protect their incompetence and anybody finding out how pathetic they are by banning those with qualifications that speak up! Instead of removing those that cannot get a qualification and show they are competent as they expect from the rest of the workforce.
Someone should start prosecuting unqualified safety people who claim they are professionals, we could start with fraud becuase we know you cannot be a professional at anything without a qualification but the SIA continues to protect it's club of sucks.

If we had a Real Safety Institute of Australia
We could have answers to questions like, what effect men clipping their nasal hairs for vanity purposes has on exposure to dusts especially toxic dusts such as asbestos, silica, ceramic fibres etc.
But we could also have detailed statistics on incidents in the workplace, giving useful information to identify risks. But not rely so heavily on lost time incidents and the like which is pretty useless information that only hides the truth.
We would have detailed road statistics that not focuss on a predertermained outcome such as speed but show every detail such as depth level of tyre tread at the time of loss of control, or the footwear someone was wearing, for example thongs I believe cause a great number of road accidents becuase of the dely in response time moving from accelarator to brake and even times they get caught on the base of the brake.
There are thousands of other factors that are not included in road statistics in an effort to justify the revenue being raised from speed camera's and drug testing and the like, some other examples would be the condition and wear level of brakes of vehicles involved in incidents, the condition of the stearing components, all the way to oil leaks that could have resulted in an unbalanced vehicle and contributing to the loss of control.
Not to mention the factos of trees, poles, other stationary objects, pedestrians and the ability to have head on's being responsible for the release of energy after a loss of control. But when people with ideas outside the norm are banned how can these questions even be investigated?
And when a predetermained outcome to accident investigations biased the findings we will never significantly reduce the road toll, even with the dramatic improvements to vehicle safety design.
But again without an educated Safety Institute of Australia there will never be the acceptance of knowledge that can save lives but only a power struggle and failure to take hold of the opportunity God has given to save lives.

And orgnaised crime benefits from the polititians stance on Marijuana
You have to wonder just how much people like Peter Costello recieve from organised crime to continue their attack on marijuana, given it's relative low risk in our society! But organised crime is certainly reaping the benefits of people self medicating becuase the legal alternatives are addictive and harmful to health.
I'm sure this organised crime is funding political parties apposed to it's decriminalisation! And polititians like Peter Costello know this clearly as they manage the parties funds and in a push for more funding for organised crime they come out before an election and campaing against marijuana!
Pot top crop in US, group claims
From correspondents in San Francisco
December 19, 2006 08:48am
Article from: Agence France-Presse
MARIJUANA is the most lucrative cash crop in the US according to a study by a group campaigning for the substance's decriminalisation.
The study by the Washington-based Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) argued that successive crackdowns against marijuana had been unsuccessful.
The report said using conservative price estimates, the marijuana crop was worth $US35.8 billion (45.9bn) this year - exceeding the combined value of corn ($US23.3bn) and wheat ($US7.45bn).
The report said that despite eradication campaigns which have seen 103 million marijuana plants seized and an average of nearly 36,000 cultivation sites per year destroyed, production increased tenfold between 1981 and 2006 from 1000 to 10,000 tonnes.

Safety Institute of Australia needs to take responsibility for Coroner's ignorance
It totally disgusts me that a hugely profitable organisation such as Seahaven resorts gets away with manslaughter of a teenage girly with no one facing charges and a pathetic fine of $7500 being the only penalty!
The Safety Institute of Australia should take responsibility in failing to educate the coroners of this country in accepted practice and law but then if they are uneducated how can they educate the coroner's, things need to change at the SIA to remove all unqualified people from membership, fellowship and chartered fellowship immediately for Safety to be recognised as a profession and people to listen.
As an example the coroner called for Australian Standards to be adhered to! Well if he had any knowledge then he would understand that the Standards are a minimum and when our legislation calls for risks to be mitigated, it is practical when there is already documented evidence on how to do this and the coroner ignores this as a non compliance with the OHS legislation (in this case the WHS Legislation).
What makes this even more hypocritical is experience, the last prosecution I saw was a farmer that had run over his 7 year old and splattered her over the paddock, it's not enough that the farmer was suffering enough but the prosecutors are directed to prosecute so it becomes public knowledge but when it comes to a rich organisation such as Seahaven this approach is totally ignored. Something totally stinks in this case.
No blame in spa death - coroner
By Suzanne Klotz
December 18, 2006 11:43am
Article from: AAP
A CORONER has found no one should face charges over the death of a teenage girl after her hair became entangled in spa pump at a resort on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.
But deputy Queensland coroner Ray Rinaudo made a series of recommendations to try to prevent a repeat of the tragedy.
Amanda Helen Boyce, 13, was on holiday with the family of a school friend at the Seahaven Resort at Noosa Heads when the accident happened in December 2001.
An inquest in Brisbane Magistrates Court was told Amanda and two friends were using the resort's spa.
Amanda, who had waist-length hair, put her head under water and got it tangled in pipes at the base of the spa.
Despite the efforts of many people, including a doctor and lifesavers, she was unerwater for up to 20 minutes and never regained consciousness.
Her life support was turned off in Brisbane Royal Children's Hospital four days later.
A senior principal adviser with the Department of Workplace Health and Safety found the accident occurred because of a combination of design and operational deficiencies with the spa.
Seahaven Resorts has already pleaded guilty to breaching workplace health and safety regulations and been fined $7,500.
Today, handing down his findings in the case, Mr Rinaudo found that no one should stand trial over the death.
However he made a number of recommendations to ensure public spa pools were safer.
These included that they comply with the relevant Australian standard, that public spa pool owners control the suction pipe flow velocity, fit a pressure gauge to the pump suction, and fit emergency spa pool pump stops and alarms.
What a pathetic coroner (or corrupt) that investigated this case! If they had knowledge of the legislation they would realise that the standard gives a clear example of mitigating this risk which is what the overidding Act calls for yet the coroner has ignored their is even a Act!

Marijuana - There must be an election comming
Seems Peter Costello has started cluching at straws to try and divert attention away from the real issues for the election next year.
Yep he is making all these unsubstantiated claims about the harm marijuana causes! Well Mr Costello we know this is a furphy designed to alienate somewhere between 20% and 30% of the population distracting them from the real issues of the next election, such as global warming, homelessness in Australia, youth suicide etc etc, all brought on by the Howard government selling Australia off to foreign interests and implementing IR laws that give the worker no control over their wellbeing.
If we look at Wikipedia and the abundance of information posted we find marijuana is in the lowest catagory of addiction:
A 1998 French governmental report commissioned by Health Secretary of State Bernard Kouchner, and directed by Dr. Pierre-Bernard Roques, classed drugs according to addictiveness and neurotoxicity. It placed heroin, cocaine and alcohol in the most addictive and lethal categories; benzodiazepine, hallucinogens and tobacco in the medium category, and cannabis in the last category. The report stated that "Addiction to cannabis does not involve neurotoxicity such as it was defined in chapter 3 by neuroanatomical, neurochemical and behavioral criteria. Thus, former results suggesting anatomic changes in the brain of chronic cannabis users, measured by tomography, were not confirmed by the accurate modern neuro-imaging techniques. Moreover, morphological impairment of the hippocampus [which plays a part in memory and navigation] of rat after administration of very high doses of THC (Langfield et al., 1988) was not shown (Slikker et al., 1992)." Health Secretary Bernard Kouchner concluded that : "Scientifical facts show that, for cannabis, no neurotoxicity is demonstrated, to the contrary of alcohol and cocaine."[9]
Yet in Mr Costello's support for pharmacutical profits he totally ignores the benefits of marijuana in medical applications, highlighting the dependance of the government on profits made from getting people addicted to substances like morphine, valium etc etc which are in the highest addiction catagory!
What a corrupt polititian Mr Costello is to totally ignore the sick and infirmed from being able to legally use something that will benefit their lives and instead yeild to the pharmacutical companies and their awesome profits, maybe he gets a cut? But certainly the government does from taxes and the like for which Mr Costello is treasurer so even if he doesn't recieve a direct cut from getting patietns addicted to morphine and like he certainly gains a huge benefit, making him corrupt in the highest degree by alienating people with illness such as cancer, MS, glucoma, arthritis, and hundreds of other pain related illnesses.
It is even shown to be an effective anti inflammatory but the government would rather us take Vioxx and the like causing heart disease so they can make $billions in taxes from peoples deaths.
The worst part is a lot of people believe his unsubstaintiated lies! And these people with illness will find out how addictive the alternatives are and how violent they make people, for example morphine makes you indistructable and violent and when you are on it you do not realise how violent and abusive you become becuase everything seems normal to the taker (from 3 years experience 140mg a day) but this is legal so the pharmacutical companies and governments can make their $billions.
Some of the benefits even include it as an effective treatment to Alzhiemer's disease oh but that wouldn't make the government money would it so they won't legalise it for medical purposes. In 2006 a study[10] was released that shows THC to competitively inhibit AChE and, furthermore, binds to the AChE PAS and diminishes β-amyloid peptide aggregation. These effects have been the goal of Alzheimer’s medication since the discovery that there was an association between the AChE PAS and Alzheimer’s disease[11]. The study concludes that AChE inhibitors such as THC and its analogues may provide an improved therapy for Alzheimer’s disease, but warns that THC is a psychoactive compound.
Oh and all these safety people who lack any relevant knowledge to safety will use drug testing to justify their jobs but as can be shown by statistics drug testing for marijuana does not save one life! It is just used as a tool to keep in the safety field that they don't belong in becuase if they knew anything about safety they would recognise the statistical information showing it actually decreases the risks of injury. But it also diverts attention from the real killer in our workplaces and on our roads that being alcohol and note alcohol is far more addictive that marijuana will ever be and shrinks the brain with long term use. (hypocritical safety institute of australia to blame for that, the majority will all be drinking at the Christmas parties)
Cancer has shown many times over two hundred years of research on cannabis to actually show a slight decrease in lung cancer rates over the general population even though smoking is the most common form of use! I quoted studies from the 60's showing this with large research groups in both Canada and West Indies but as governments and pharmacutical companies are pumping $billions into research to try and find a down side to marijuana's medical use I will quote the latest study showing a decrease in cancer: Cannabis smoke contains numerous compounds known to cause cancer [5],[6], [7]. Surprisingly, however, scientific studies have failed to show higher cancer rates in cannabis smokers. A study published in 2006[35] on a large population sample (1,200 people with lung, neck, or head cancer, and a matching group of 1,040 without cancer) failed to positively correlate a lung cancer risk, in fact the results indicated a slight negative correlation between long and short-term cannabis use and cancer, suggesting a possible therapeutic effect. This followed an even larger 1997 study[36] examining the records of 64,855 Kaiser patients (14 033 of whom identified themselves as current smokers), which also found no positive correlation between cannabis use and cancer.
Again the lies are exposed from Mr Costello!
As for road safety statistics out of the ACT suggest cannabis users are actually at a slightly less risk of a serious accident!!! And research backs this up from the U.K. and as we haven't heard from Swinbourne University I suggest their research backs these finding that cannabis users are at no greater risk than the general public when driving!!!! The effects of cannabis on laboratory-based tasks show clear impairment with respect to tracking ability, attention, and other tasks depending on the dose administered. These effects however, are not as pronounced on real world tasks, like driving or simulator tasks. Both simulation and road trials generally find that driving behavior shortly after consumption of larger doses of cannabis results in: a more cautious driving style; increased variability in lane position (and headway); and longer decision times. Whereas these results indicate a 'change' from normal conditions, they do not necessarily reflect 'impairment' in terms of performance effectiveness since few studies report increased accident risk.
Drug testing for marijuana is morally wrong because The total duration of cannabis intoxication when smoked is about 1 to 4 hours. Yet drug testing can reveal it's use weeks or even months later making the drug test invalid for the purpose of safety, sure if someone was off their face while performing a dangerous task it may be seen as reasonable to stop this behaviour but someone using the night before or on the weekend being caught up in these drug tests is ridiculous and given the proven low risk of those off their face it would even be debatable whether they posed any greater risk anyway.
So Mr Costello stop lying about a beneficial drug and do something positive by pushing for it's legal medical use over the addictive and highly dangerous substitutes the Pharmacutical companies keep pushing on those with an illness!
And the Safety Institute of Australia should be absolutely disgusted in it's workplace drug testing push especially focussed on marijuana as it shows no increased risk! But then as I've said the Safety Institute is run by people who haven't the committment to safety to even get a qualification that proves they are competent so they will have to keep down this track to cover up the corruption of banning people who have the committment!

Some of the benefits even include it as an effective treatment to Alzhiemer's disease oh but that wouldn't make the government money would it so they won't legalise it for medical purposes. In 2006 a study[10] was released that shows THC to competitively inhibit AChE and, furthermore, binds to the AChE PAS and diminishes β-amyloid peptide aggregation. These effects have been the goal of Alzheimer’s medication since the discovery that there was an association between the AChE PAS and Alzheimer’s disease[11]. The study concludes that AChE inhibitors such as THC and its analogues may provide an improved therapy for Alzheimer’s disease, but warns that THC is a psychoactive compound.
Oh and all these safety people who lack any relevant knowledge to safety will use drug testing to justify their jobs but as can be shown by statistics drug testing for marijuana does not save one life! It is just used as a tool to keep in the safety field that they don't belong in becuase if they knew anything about safety they would recognise the statistical information showing it actually decreases the risks of injury. But it also diverts attention from the real killer in our workplaces and on our roads that being alcohol and note alcohol is far more addictive that marijuana will ever be and shrinks the brain with long term use. (hypocritical safety institute of australia to blame for that, the majority will all be drinking at the Christmas parties)
Cancer has shown many times over two hundred years of research on cannabis to actually show a slight decrease in lung cancer rates over the general population even though smoking is the most common form of use! I quoted studies from the 60's showing this with large research groups in both Canada and West Indies but as governments and pharmacutical companies are pumping $billions into research to try and find a down side to marijuana's medical use I will quote the latest study showing a decrease in cancer: Cannabis smoke contains numerous compounds known to cause cancer [5],[6], [7]. Surprisingly, however, scientific studies have failed to show higher cancer rates in cannabis smokers. A study published in 2006[35] on a large population sample (1,200 people with lung, neck, or head cancer, and a matching group of 1,040 without cancer) failed to positively correlate a lung cancer risk, in fact the results indicated a slight negative correlation between long and short-term cannabis use and cancer, suggesting a possible therapeutic effect. This followed an even larger 1997 study[36] examining the records of 64,855 Kaiser patients (14 033 of whom identified themselves as current smokers), which also found no positive correlation between cannabis use and cancer.
Again the lies are exposed from Mr Costello!
As for road safety statistics out of the ACT suggest cannabis users are actually at a slightly less risk of a serious accident!!! And research backs this up from the U.K. and as we haven't heard from Swinbourne University I suggest their research backs these finding that cannabis users are at no greater risk than the general public when driving!!!! The effects of cannabis on laboratory-based tasks show clear impairment with respect to tracking ability, attention, and other tasks depending on the dose administered. These effects however, are not as pronounced on real world tasks, like driving or simulator tasks. Both simulation and road trials generally find that driving behavior shortly after consumption of larger doses of cannabis results in: a more cautious driving style; increased variability in lane position (and headway); and longer decision times. Whereas these results indicate a 'change' from normal conditions, they do not necessarily reflect 'impairment' in terms of performance effectiveness since few studies report increased accident risk.
Drug testing for marijuana is morally wrong because The total duration of cannabis intoxication when smoked is about 1 to 4 hours. Yet drug testing can reveal it's use weeks or even months later making the drug test invalid for the purpose of safety, sure if someone was off their face while performing a dangerous task it may be seen as reasonable to stop this behaviour but someone using the night before or on the weekend being caught up in these drug tests is ridiculous and given the proven low risk of those off their face it would even be debatable whether they posed any greater risk anyway.
So Mr Costello stop lying about a beneficial drug and do something positive by pushing for it's legal medical use over the addictive and highly dangerous substitutes the Pharmacutical companies keep pushing on those with an illness!
And the Safety Institute of Australia should be absolutely disgusted in it's workplace drug testing push especially focussed on marijuana as it shows no increased risk! But then as I've said the Safety Institute is run by people who haven't the committment to safety to even get a qualification that proves they are competent so they will have to keep down this track to cover up the corruption of banning people who have the committment!
