Heavy metals such as lead and/or gold are all that can trap gamma rays and neutrons. Miniaturization would be fine, but for personally carried items the shielding would be cumbersome.

One in five people will suffer from some form of mental illness at some time in their life (mine was severe clinical depression, a common side-effect of chronic pain).It's no different from seeing a doctor if you have a fever. Sickness is sickness, so you get treatment from a practitioner who knows how to help you get well.

Diamonds aren't particularly rare, DeBeers is sitting on tons of them and only letting them trickle onto the market, keeping the price artificially high. If even a large fraction of the stockpile was released, they'd be dirt cheap and only valuable to industry for use in cutting tools, due to their hardness.

Starbucks is no better than grade four.Australians are coffee snobs, Starbucks failed here. We won't pay high prices for bad coffee. It's why when English cafes advertise for baristas, they often specify Australians or New Zealanders - we know how and are particular about it.

Diamonds are prized for their rarity - which is why De Beers is already sitting on tons of them and only letting them trickle onto the market. If the Kimberley released a large fraction of what's in the mines, diamonds would be dirt cheap and only used in industry for their hardness.

Parents should realize that a child is a human being, not a fashion accessory, and will be known by that name at least until they are old enough to change it legally - by which time it's usually too late. Kids don't need to have a target painted on them to be the butt of other kids' teasing, bullying and cruel jokes.I tried to point this out to my daughter-in-law. My granddaughter's name is Zayianna - pretty but it sounds made-up. It's based on "Zyana" (Hebrew - "Blessing from Heaven") but she got creative with the spelling. less

Jogging is something I do rarely (a brisk walk at both ends of the bus ride twice daily, running with the dog evenings and sprinting at training - I walk or run flat out, no jogging), so it's 2 cups of coffee, shower, shave, dress and skedaddle.
