Surf's up

Article Abstract:

It is important to consider the features and performance offered by the various Internet service providers (ISP) because they all vary. Some ISPs, such as AOL, are also content providers, in that they have extra services such as pages from newspapers. The speed of connection to the Internet also varies although this depends on the site being accessed. AOL has a free telephone helpline but others charge from 50 pence to 1 pound sterling per minute. The quality of help received varies from provider to provider. The service providers are evaluated.

Arsenic - new life for an old potion

Article Abstract:

More research is needed to determine whether arsenic trioxide is effective in treating cancer. A 1998 study found that the chemical was very effective in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). The chemical usually leads to remission even in patients who have not responded to other types of chemotherapy. It had few serious side effects. Long-term studies in China show no evidence that arsenic trioxide is carcinogenic and animal studies confirm this.
