Lovenia Kamelamela who lives in a House built by her great Grandfather in 1886, worried about her Coconut Trees.

A total of 129 have been consumed since Kilauea began erupting in january 1983. The lava is so hot there is no Way to Stop it.

More than 50 houses have been destroyed in the past month. In Kaapana where 125 Homes once stood Only 30 remain. Soon the whole Village will be gone. Workers were preparing thursday to pick up and move the towns roman Catholic Church named the Star of the sea. The a painted Church a so called because of the brightly coloured murals on its Interior Walls is directly in the path of the lava which had approached to within 350 Yards by thursday morning.

A if god wants to save it he will a Deacon de Kahanu said. A a it a his Church. He can do what he some people attribute the lava flow to Pele the Volcano goddess of hawaiian folklore.

A nobody can Tell Madame Pele when it All ends a the governor said. A nobody can Tell her what to experts May have cure for sleep Cycle blues of night shift worker Boston apr carefully timed doses of Bright Light and total darkness can help night shift workers quickly reset their internal clocks so they stay Alert on the Job and sleep soundly during the Day scientists have discovered. The approach appears to be the first Quick practical cure for the night shift blues the on the Job sleepiness and daytime insomnia that plague Many of the nations 7 million night workers. The principal Developer or. Charles a. Czeisler of Bostons Brigham and women a Hospital said his team is still simplifying the technique so it can be easily moved from lab to workplace. But if it matches its Early Promise it should readjust Peoples biological rhythms in just two nights so they stay awake when their bodies ordinarily want to sleep. A a it a a tremendous leap Forward a said or. Thomas Roth a sleep researcher at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. The technique works this Way people moving to the night shift reported to work a in this Case a Hospital lab a at Midnight and spent the next eight hours sitting at a desk. While they worked a Bank of lights 4 feet away shined with 16 Cool White 40-Watt bulbs. After work they pulled Down blackout shades in the bedroom of their Home staying in total darkness from 9 . To 5 . After just two Days the time on the workers internal clocks shifted almost 10 hours. So instead of hitting the Low Point in their daily Cycle about 5 ., this happened around 3 . When they were still asleep. A they certainly have made a breakthrough in understanding the effect of Light on humans a said or. Mary Carskadon of Brown University in Providence . A their evidence is very powerful. There needs to be More trials in the Field to determine the Efficacy in a broader sense but i think that what they be done really gives us a guidepost to pursuing this Czeisler described the results of his groups experimental use of the approach on eight Young men in a report in thursdays new England journal of Medicine. If the technique can be successfully adapted to the Job it could be important for an estimated 7 million . Night workers. Even after years on night schedules some people complain they never completely adjust. A a it a very important in critical jobs to make sure that people Are Alert on the night shift a said Czeisler. A we collected data on 4,000 shift workers and found that 56 percent reported nodding off at least once a week. These include people driving front end loaders running nuclear Power plants policemen and chemical scientists can read the time of a persons internal clock by checking their a they certainly have made a breakthrough in understanding the effect of Light in a or. Carskadon temperature. Ordinarily Peoples temperatures hit their lowest ebb in the wee hours and this is when they arc least Alert if they happen to be awake. During the studies a comparison group worked at night under regular lights and slept with Ordinary window shades pulled. After a week their temperatures continued to reach their Low Point during the Early morning hours. In contrast those who got the Light dark treatment noticed an immediate improvement in their alertness and performance. A your subjects said it was startling How much better they fell at night a said Czeisler. A it was no longer an ordeal to stay up All those getting the treatment were Able to sleep two hours longer a Day than the comparison group. Tests also showed dramatic shifts in when their bodies made hormones and produced urine. The work provides new clues about the effect of Light signals that travel along nerves from the eyes to the brains hypothalamus the metronome that keeps All the body a functions running on time. However before employers Start changing Light bulbs Czeisler said More study needs to be done to simplify the necessary Light array test the approach on older people and women and see How it works on larger groups. Still he said the research a demonstrates for the first time a reliable procedure for inducing physiological adaption for night shift work.
