China's One Child Policy: Designed to Limit Population Growth
China has proclaimed that it will continue its one child policy, which limits couples to having one child, through the 2006-2010 five year planning period.
China’s one child policy was established by Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping in 1979 to limit communist China’s population growth. Although designated a ”temporary measure,” it continues a quarter-century after its establishment. The policy limits couples to one child. Fines, pressures to abort a pregnancy, and even forced sterilization accompanied second or subsequent pregnancies.
It is not an all-encompassing rule because i ... read more The Truth About Garlic 17 y
Garlic doesn’t lower cholesterol. Garlic was thought to be a superfood. It is still healthy, just not near as healthy as once thought.
Garlic has had the reputation of being a health food – several decades ago it was considered the relevant ingredient of the Mediterranean Diet. Some clinical studies have shown a beneficial effect on cholesterol levels, and others have shown no effect. Now Netherlands scientists have reported the results of a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial – the ‘gold standard’ for proving effectiveness. They studied the effects of well-characterized garlic powder (2.1 g/day), a statin (Lipitor®, 40 mg/day), and placebo on blood lipids, C-reactive protein (CRP), and tumor necrosis fac ... read more Your Next Rich President 17 y
As one Presidential hopeful so bluntly stated:
"And so if things are going bad, just remember
who put these people in power."
By AHarleyGyrl
You would think that one day people might begin to get smart and vote for candidates that best represent the people. Instead, they always vote for the two most popular in the media, with generally the biggest bank accounts. Of course, we do have to be careful, because we were nearly duped by Ross Perot a few years ago. Ross is Big Business and not for the little guy. But he came along and preached some middle class ideals. He made the mistake of saying he was going to run the Government ”like a business”. That didn’t set well with middle America. He ... read more Enzymes For Dogs & Cats 17 y
Prozyme Digestive Aid
Prozyme is a plant-derived enzyme supplement which replaces the natural enzymes that are lost in food processing. It helps digest protein, fat, sugar, starch, and fiber. It enhances the absorption of zinc, selenium, vitamin B6, and linoleic acid. Prozyme contains various enzymes including proteases to break down proteins into amino acids, cellulases to break down digestible fiber, amylases to break down carbohydrates into sugar, and lipases to break down fat into essential fatty acids. Because of the increase in digestibility of the food, amounts fed may need to be decreased to preven ... read more Cancer Radio Wave Therapy 17 y

How Each of Us Can Change the World
Editorial Reviews
Here, from Bill Clinton, is a call to action. Giving is an inspiring look at how each of us can change the world. First, it reveals the extraordinary and innovative efforts now being made by companies and organizations—and by individuals—to solve problems and save lives both “down the street and around the world.” Then it urges us to seek out what each of us, “regardless of income, available time, age, and skills,” can do to help, to give people a chance to live out their dreams.
Bill Clinton shares his own experiences and those of other givers, representi ... read more This Sunday Don't Miss 17 y

SEXY hostesses have taken off plenty for the debut of a new airline — called Hooters Air.
Cabin girls wore tight vests and hotpants on the maiden flight of the US service which calls itself “delightfully tacky”.
Boss Robert Brooks, who already has a chain of 330 Hooters restaurants, said: “We aim to bring fun back to flying. We’re politically incorrect and everyone knows it.”
Robert hopes to lure golfers and other sportsmen away from rival airlines with £80 flights from Atlanta to the resort town of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
But analyst Henry Harte-veldt called it a ... read more Don't Cry Out Loud 17 y

Global Outlook for Ice and Snow 17 y
As part of its continuing efforts to raise global awareness of the effects of climate change, UNEP prepared the Global Outlook for Ice and Snow at the outset of the International Polar Year 2007-2008. This new analysis focuses on the changes in ice-and-snow covered regions and highlights consequences for the global community.
Ice, snow and climate change are closely linked. The Global Outlook for Ice and Snow investigates those linkages. It also presents information on the trends in ice and snow, the outlook for this century and beyond and the consequences to ecosystems and human well-being of these changes. It covers all parts of the cryosphere (the world of ice): snow, land ice, sea ice, river and lake ice, and frozen ground. The Global Outlook for Ice and Snow was written by more than 70 scientists from around the world.
Global Outlook for Ice and Snow provides an up-to-date, concise review of the ... read more The No A_ _hole Rule: 17 y
Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn't, Robert I. Sutton, Ph.D.
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
This meticulously researched book, which grew from a much buzzed-about article in the Harvard Business Review, puts into plain language an undeniable fact: the modern workplace is beset with %¤#&!§-s. Sutton (Weird Ideas that Work), a professor of management science at Stanford University, argues that %¤#&!§-s—those who deliberately make co-workers feel bad about themselves and who focus their aggression on the less powerful—poison the work environment, decrease productivity, induce qualified employees to quit and therefore are det ... read more |
