Don Gaddis on Encyclopedia > Max Taogaga 210 days 2 hours 1 minute 38 seconds ago	Likewise, I have known Max as a faithful servant of Christ. Prior to his incarceration, I worked with him in Cleveland. He was a tough but gentle guy with loads of life experience. I would one day like to see him again. He was a great influence on my life at NCCI.
Adam on United Kingdom Profile > Crime 219 days 12 hours 17 minutes 16 seconds ago	This is not a representation of Crime in the UK compared to the other countries, it is however a representation of Democracy and Justness in the Uk and USA. Russian crime rates are far far higher than both the uk and the USA, however the crimes go unreported through fear or Bribes are paid and matters settled. Statistically the UK is 2nd. Realistically the Uk is more like 20th with Russia, India and China, in reality, filling the top 3 spots.
M.R. Beychok on Encyclopedia > Fundamentals Of Stack Gas Dispersion 221 days 5 hours 50 minutes 30 seconds ago	This is the new fourth edition of the book on dispersion modeling of continuous, buoyant air pollution plumes which takes nothing for granted.

(^-^) on Education > Duration of compulsory education 221 days 12 hours 42 minutes 8 seconds ago	Education must be made compulsory atleast till the age of 16. In this way the Millenium Development Goals can be achieved! Aristotle: "Education is an ornament in prosperity n a refuge in adversity". Owing to education, the economy of a country can be propelled on a modern development path. Our modern society requires educated people not illeterate ones!!
MJ on Economy > Human Development Index 222 days 5 hours 29 minutes 26 seconds ago	Must admit this is actually an interesting, but not wholly comprehensive index of statistics. But there's not much point in Mr. Sri Lanka or Mr. India in trying to claim one being better than the other as it changes based on what OTHER countries do. As well as interesting questions like "How can it be possible that some countries rank higher than the USA?" http://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/human_development.htm I'd say it's because of the wealth gap between rich and poor. You'll see that on the HDI list, my country (New Zealand) is (somehow!) fifth, right behind the USA's 4th, yet include income gaps, and USA falls to 23rd/30 tracked countries, and NZ doesn't even make it onto the list!! For my way of thinking, this means that the wage gap in both countries is rather poor indeed. Norway, Australia and the Netherlands must surely take some credit for making top 5 spots in both lists.
D. K. Main on Economy > Patents granted 223 days 23 hours 4 minutes 26 seconds ago	I assume that most of these patents are granted to corporations, rather than to individuals, and that the patents are thus credited to the countries in which the corporations are headquartered, rather than to those countries in which the actual inventors reside-- let alone the countries from which those inventors originated. So, for instance, Japan may be credited here with a patent that was granted to Sony, even though it actually was invented in the United States, and even though the actual inventor was a Chinese national, merely employed by Sony, in the United States.
Zeitgeist Night on Health > Abortions 225 days 42 minutes 13 seconds ago	The 30 something's are not getting abortions; it's the girls who are just barely out of childhood themselves. Information, education and equal rights will end the problem but the church will have none of that. The best recruits are the easily manipulated young. Religion demands that children remain un- informed about birth control and taut only abstinence. That belief runs deep in our societies and has burden us with 7 billon people. Religion only survives through intimidation, threats and the fear of the unknown. Religion embraces ignorance for woman and children, they are useful property and easy to abuse. The primitive male ego has not been allowed to evolve in modern times, stifled by religious fear, hate and the male domination of religion. Religion is responsible for abortion by not embracing birth control, education and equal rights for woman. The primitive religious mind set is adolescent and requires the parental figure; useful when you are a child that requires guidance. As an adult independent thought is vital, thought that is not clouded by a narrow minded faith in a doctrine. Justifying ones religious beliefs when challenged by resorting to fear, intimidation and punishment is the perfect example of the adolescent mind.
Gabriel on Crime > Total crime victims 226 days 21 hours 19 minutes 34 seconds ago	"I would say this could be the list of the countries with the most and best organised and active police and crimeregistration in the world." Yes, probably in Asia and Africa or Muslims countries even Latin America, Chile Brazil, Mexico... the information is censored to keep the face in these statistics
Anonymous on Government > Corruption 228 days 14 hours 18 minutes 26 seconds ago	Every person is more or less a corrupt person, more or less a selfish one but the only difference is that those who blame others are either unaware of their own corrupt activities that they do within 24 hours or not given the opportunities to splurge and squander the national coffer lavishly. So many have plunged into when they are offered with wealth which has its own pleasure and spellbound and their satanic nature overpower and bewitch them that time. Those who refrain from and suppress their bestial insticnt that time are the real embodiment of goodness what our Creator has showered His blessing upon. It is the root cause of most eveils of the society which fosters poverty,unemployement,illiteracy and social crimes. It's everyone's responsibility to avoid being corrupt in any way, ranging from our domestic level to national and there must be a proper department fully empowered to check upon anyone and give an exemplary punishment once proved to be guilty of corruption. To curb it in states where it has grown deep rooted they need to do a lot to renovate and revamp the entire machinary from all sides where every citizen has to cooperate and coordinate the states. thanks
Kerei on Encyclopedia > Genghis Khan 235 days 20 hours 44 minutes 2 seconds ago	There are many pro-Chinese tales about the origin of Genghis Khan and his Power in the official history. Therefore, primarily we should know the truth about the meaning of the names "Mongol" and "Tatar" (“Tartar") in the medieval Eurasia: the name "Mongol" until the 17th-18th centuries meant belonging to a political community, and was not the ethnic name. While “the name "Tatars" was “the name of the native nation of Genghis Khan …” , “… Genghis Khan and his people did not speak the language, which we now call the "Mongolian…" (Russian academic-orientalist V.P.Vasiliev, 19th century). Also it must be said: now very few people know that Genghis Khan was a Turk. Tatars of Genghis Khan - medieval Tatars - were one of the Turkic nations, whose descendants now live in many of the fraternal Turkic peoples of Eurasia - among the Kazakhs, Bashkirs, Tatars, Uighurs, and many others. And few people know that the ethnos of medieval Tatars, which stopped the expansion of the Persians and the Chinese to the West of the World in Medieval centuries, is still alive. Despite the politicians of the tsars Romanovs and Bolsheviks had divided and scattered this ethnos to different nations... About everything above mentioned and a lot of the true history of the Tatars and other fraternal Turkic peoples, which was hidden from us, had been written, in detail and proved, in the book "Forgotten Heritage of Tatars" (by Galy Yenikeyev). There are a lot of previously little-known historical facts, as well as 16 maps and illustrations in this book. This e-book you can easily find in the Internet, on Smashwords company website: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/175211
Dr. TN Shivananda on Agriculture > Banana production 239 days 14 hours 30 minutes 11 seconds ago	Indian Institute of Horticultural Reserach, Bangalore, India, is a premier institute in R & D of horticultural crops. We have developed a micronutrient formulation specifically for all varieties of banana to correct micronutrient deficiency in banana. Spraying of this banana micronutrient formulation thrice before before emergence (between 4th-5th month, 5th-6th month and 6th-7th month) to the whole plant and twice after bunch emergence to only bunches has enhanced the bunch yield by more than 20% in south India.This formulation is commonly referred as "banana special". The relevant details can be obtained by Director, IIHR or from the undesigned. TN Shivananda Principal Scientist, IIHR tns@iihr.ernet.in
Francis on People > Chinese population 246 days 19 hours 5 minutes 35 seconds ago	This is reply to tr post on 4th March 2011 The large figure refered to the Chinese nationals working in Libya at the time, not overseas Chinese with Libya citizenship. This list show overseas Chinese in various countries. That is, Chinese who are naturalised in those countries. http://ramblerwithoutborders.blogspot.com/
Gerard Taylor on Health > Breast cancer incidence 250 days 11 hours 21 minutes 37 seconds ago	'The China Study' by T. Colin Campbell gives the reason why countries following a diet high in animal protein and milk have higher rates of breast cancer than rural China, which has a very low rate. It is to do with a longer reproductive cycle and subsequent longer exposure to estrogen for Western women.
