"Peekaboo; Eye See YOU!!" - Michael Crichton - "Micro"


Synopsis:


"Three men are found dead in a locked second-floor office in Honolulu. There is no sign of struggle, though their bodies are covered in ultra-fine, razor-sharp cuts. With no evidence, the police dismiss it as a bizarre suicide pact. But the murder weapon is still in the room, almost invisible to the human eye.

Seven graduate students from Cambridge, Massachusetts, are invited to Hawaii by pioneering microbiology company Nanigen. There they will be given access to a new world of radical scientific developments.

But this opportunity of a lifetime will teach them the true cost of existing at the cutting-edge…

The group becomes prey to a technology of radical, unimaginable power and is thrust out into the teeming rainforest. Armed only with their knowledge of the natural world, the young scientists face a hostile wilderness that threatens danger at every turn.

To survive, they must harness the awe-inspiring creative – and destructive – forces of nature itself."









Michael Crichton - 1942-2008

Eugenics In Action - "Girl, 13, left in 'waking coma' and sleeps for 23 hours a day after severe reaction to cervical cancer jabs"

  • Lucy Hinks is unable to walk or talk after having injections at school
  • Parents warn others to check on potential side effects of Cervarix vaccine


A schoolgirl has been left in a 'waking coma', too exhausted to open her eyes or speak, after having a cervical cancer vaccine.

Last October and again a month later, Lucy Hinks joined her classmates at school in Wigton in Cumbria to have the HPV jab Cervarix as part of a country-wide programme.

By Christmas, she had visited the doctor several times with flu-like symptoms, tiredness and joint pain.

After the third injection of the vaccine, in May this year, Lucy began to experience extreme exhaustion.

Her health has now deteriorated to such an extent that for the past seven weeks she has slept for up to 23 hours day.

Lucy is also unable to walk or even talk to her devastated family.

Today, her mother Pauline and father Steve, who works for Pirelli, reveal the stress their family is enduring and their fears that it could be years before she recovers.

They now care for Lucy - who has lost nearly three stone - around the clock and describe their lives as a 'living nightmare'.

The couple, from Port Carlisle, Cumbria, are urging parents to find out about the potential side effects of the vaccine, Cervarix.

Their warning comes as thousands of year eight pupils prepare to receive the vaccine in schools.

Mrs Hinks said: 'I would not wish what we've been through on anyone.

'I've not seen the whites of Lucy's eyes for weeks and nobody can tell us when it will turn.

'I would urge parents to get all the facts, gather as much information as you can. Decide for yourself if it's right for your child.'

AYTD's Qur'an Quote #57

"And those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, to them We shall surely give lofty dwellings in Paradise, underneath which rivers flow, to live therein forever. Excellent is the reward of the workers.
Those who are patient, and put their trust (only) in their Lord (Allah)."


(Surah 29: Al-Ankabut (The Spider); verses 58-9)

AYTD's Qur'an Quote #56

"And if We give man a taste of Mercy from Us, and then withdraw it from him, verily! He is despairing, ungrateful.
But if We let him taste good (favour) after evil (poverty and harm) has touched him, he is sure to say: "Ills have departed from me." Surely, he is exultant, and boastful (ungrateful to Allah).
Except those who show patience and do righteous good deeds, those: theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward (Paradise)."


(Surah 11: Hud [Prophet Hood]; verses 9-11)
