Cold Sores – a Pandemic?
Sep 2nd
Cold Sores – a Pandemic?
Cold sores virus infects an incredible 89% of the world population, the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) estimates.
YES – and 67% of those infected with the cold sores virus will have at least one cold sore event in the next 12 months.
And 47.5% of those folks will have multiple cold sores episodes during that period.
Cold sores are one of our most contagious viruses – and one of our oldest. Even in ancient Rome, an epidemic of cold sores caused Emperor Tiberius to outlaw kissing in public ceremonies.
As a global epidemic, or “pandemic”, there is no better example than cold sores.
NO – cold sores, unlike bird flu, aren’t life threatening. But, let’s be frank, cold sores are hideous – and they’re painful. On top of that, cold sores cause flu like symptoms such as fever and swollen lymph glands in a lot of people.
Cold sores last 3 to 4 weeks on average – a long time for you to be socially sidelined! They shout “I HAVE HERPES” to the entire world.
And cold sores cost us money in lost days at work and constant purchase of medications. Always hoping to finally find something – ANYTHING – to stop our cold sores curse.
Check out these little known facts about cold sores – and what you can do right now to get rid of your cold sores problem.
Cold sores are caused by the reproductive cycle of a herpes virus. There are currently 8 known human herpes viruses. Of these, only 2 are a major cause of cold sores.
Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV1) is responsible for about 80% of facial cold sores – and about 20% of genital herpes lesions. Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 (HSV2) causes about 20% of cold sores and 80% of genital herpes blisters.
HSV1 is most often referred to as the “cold sores virus”, “fever blister virus” and “oral herpes” – and some others that I can’t mention in a public article.
Cold sores virus may be latent (asleep) for weeks or years in the nerve ganglia near the back of the jaw close to the brain stem.
More specifically, the cold sores virus hides inside your cells – making it very difficult for your body defenses to locate and deal with them.
When your body’s defenses weaken, due to physical or emotional stress, the cold sores virus leaves these cells, travel down the nerve fibers, like a super-highway to the lip or nose surface – to create cold sores.
There are 8 cold sore stages. The first is the latent inactive stage. The next 7 cold sore stages are the ACTIVE stages. From the first tingle to the last red spot, your cold sores are extremely contagious.
Cold sores are most often spread by physical contact – but can even be transmitted by coughing or sneezing during the active stages of your cold sores.
Medical science is working around-the-clock to find a cure for common cold sores. They’ve had a few minor breakthroughs that may lead to some real solutions in the next couple of years.
Basically medical scientists are approaching the cold sores virus on 2 levels.
1. A VACCINE preventing you from actually contracting the cold sores virus in the first place. One such vaccine is currently being moved into human testing. Downside is – it only works on people who have never been exposed to cold sores virus. Since nearly everyone on the planet has been exposed, it seems of very little value even if approved. But it’s an encouraging move forward.
2. AN ANTI-VIRAL to kill the cold sore virus already in our body. This is difficult since it has to find and kill the virus without damaging the nerve cells they are hiding in. The prescription anti-viral medications scientists have come up with so far have not worked very well at all – at least on cold sores virus.
Acyclovir, for example, is an anti-viral that’s being promoted as a cold sores wonder drug. In real life studies, however, a course of acyclovir only reduced cold sores by 2 days. And it only worked for 47.8% in the trials. No big deal here.
Acyclovir topical cream came in even worse – no noticeable help at all. Medical scientists agree and have publicly stated that the actives in acyclovir don’t get through the skin to the infection. Don’t waste your money on this.
COLD SORES NATURAL SCIENCE TO THE RESCUE!
Did you know – medical knowledge has more than doubled in the past 5 years alone? Worldwide internet communication has made it possible.
More important – natural home remedies, such as effective cold sores treatments, are coming in from all corners of the globe.
In fact, many doctors are now advising their patients to check out these natural remedies for cold sores.
Data studies have shown these natural remedies to reduce suffering time of cold sores by an incredible 79% – plus actually PREVENTING future cold sores from happening altogether (they don’t kill the cold sores virus – but they do keep it inactive indefinitely).
If you’re a cold sores victim, your best choice – fact is, your ONLY choice today – is to buy and apply one of these excellent natural remedies.
There are several solidly proven remedies for you to look into on this site or other sites – and the best news is they’re available right now for your cold sores.

Liverpool – ‘the World in One City’

Liverpool – ‘the World in One City’
Liverpool â âThe World in One Cityâ
Sustainable Growthâ¦
Among other things, Liverpool promises that creative industries, culture and tourism will form the basis of the 2008 project and that the year will be a continuous festival that will feature something for everyone. In addition to this, long term projects including the regeneration of the waterfront and various cultural centres, such as the Tate Liverpool, will ensure that the development is sustainable and that the improvements will continue to benefit the city long after the title has been passed on.
Intelligent Investment?
Changes in national and international perceptions regarding Liverpool pave the way for potentially profitable investment opportunities. This is because, as the foundations are laid for its transformation into a city of world class proportions, investment into the city becomes an increasingly attractive option. And of course, property is the ideal long term investment. Two million additional tourists are expected in Liverpool in 2008 – they will need food, and more importantly accommodation for the duration of their stay, meaning that there is a small fortune to be made off property ownership in the city. Central to this opportunity is the development of the residential wing of the new Kingâs Waterfront by David McLean and City Lofts which is set for completion at the end of 2007.
Although residential property investment can be a source of stress because of the inconvenience of finding and managing tenants, City Lofts will manage your property and ensure that the process is smooth and that both the tenant and the landowner are satisfied. This detracts from the nuisance of owning property and makes investment into the new Liverpool development even more viable. Investing in property also ensures a comfortable nest egg for retirement, either as a mortgage-free home in cosmopolitan Liverpool, or as a source of income for those choosing to remain where they are. Either way, with the property market set to boom and the utility and security associated with property investments, it would be a mistake for those wishing to invest money, not to consider the new City Lofts development in Liverpool.

Lagos an Overpopulated State: a Case of Continous Spatial Restructuring and Interaction

Lagos an Overpopulated State: a Case of Continous Spatial Restructuring and Interaction
LAGOS
Introduction
Lagos State was created on May 27, 1967 by virtue of State (Creation and Transitional Provisions) Decree No. 14 of 1967, which restructured Nigeria’s Federation into 12 states. Prior to this, Lagos Municipality had been administered by the Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Lagos Affairs as the regional authority, while the Lagos City Council (LCC) governed the City of Lagos. Equally, the metropolitan areas (Colony Province) of Ikeja, Agege, Mushin, Ikorodu, Epe and Badagry were administered by the Western Region.
Lagos state is located in latitude 6035’N, and Longitude 3045’E . with a population of over 14million people but official 2006 census suggest that Lagos population is 9,013,534. The main urban centres in the State are Badagry, Epe, Ikorodu, Ikeja and Lagos. The urbanisation process that has taken place in Lagos has been of such significance in the State and in Nigeria as a whole that it should receive special attention.
Although not European in origin, Lagos represents most spectacularly one of that class of Nigerian cities whose growth and development have been significantly shaped by European influ ences. Starting from a small settlement made by the Awori (a subgroup of the Yorubas), first at EbuteMetta and later (for defence reasons) at iddo, probably in the early part of the 17th century, the settlement of Lagos existed rather quietly up to the end of the 18th century.
Lagos has witness continous restructuting due to increased population. Therefore the paper focus on the various demenssion of spatial restructuring that have occurred , the reasons or what informed such restructuring , the effect and possible solution.
Overpopulation is a condition when an organism’s numbers exceed the carrying capacity of its ecological niche. In common parlance, the term usually refers to the relationship between the human population and its environment, the Earth.
Overpopulation is not simply a function of the size or density of the population. Overpopulation can be determined using the ratio of population to available resources
2.0 SPATIAL RESTRUCTURING
Perhaps before we look at spatial restructuring which is a funstion of economic geography and change we should define economic geography which is the study the (locational, organizational and behavioral) principles and processes associated with the spatial allocation of scarce (human, man-made and natural) resources (which are also distributed spatially) and the spatial patterns and (direct and indirect, social, environmental and economic) consequences resulting from such allocations.”
Spatial restructuring is a concept that talks about change in spatial structure i.e. Change in spatial distribution e.g. population densities, Change in spatial interaction pattern, e.g. migration patterns) and Regional economic development: e.g. Changes in income, employment, human welfare, quality of life. And the factors are related to
• Locational (dis-)advantages & locational change,
• Spatial interaction stimuli and
• Economic development conditions & events:
e.g.
• Natural resource endowment,
• Human resources (skills, education),
• Employment structure,
• Organizational, institutional & political factors,
• Access to capital, technology & entrepreneurship,
• Trade, migration (e.g. “brain gain” or “brain drain”)
The two dimension to the spatial restructuring of lagos are Population and structural change.
2.1 POPULATION CHANGE
Population change is the growth or decline in population over time, and can be quantified as the change in the number of individuals in a population per unit time. The term population change can technically refer to any species, but almost always refers to humans, and it is often used informally for the more specific demographic term population change rate.
Growth rate= (+)/ population
Going by all indication that would be presented later on there has been population growth in lagos state due to so many factors known as the pull factors, A pull factor is a feature or event that attracts a person to move to another area, and they include:
1. More or better services in that area : it is a general notion that lagos state provides the best service interms of social, and economic activities, in otherwords Lagos is bothe the social and economic nerve of Nigeria, and as such people tend to move into Lagos to enjoy these dervices provided by the state but it should be noted that other emerging cities are Porth-harcourt, Calabar, Warri and Abuja the capital city.
2. Higher standards of living
3. Higher income
4. Peace (absence of civil strife or warfare): lagos is regarded as a No-Man-Land although this statement is not True as the original Inhabitant of Lagos known as the indegenes are still present but the statement is born out of the relatively peacefull nature of lagos compared to other area where u have religious crisis, ethnic crisis, fight for succession etc. everybody for his/her self.
5. Better behavior among the people (lower crime rates and higher moral standards) : this is fact is as stated above
6. More desirable climate: this is one of the factor the ajudge to the norteheners migrants where there climate is relatively harsh.
7. Immediate distance from family problems: sure when people move away from the villages in Nigeria, they are disconnected from there immediate family but the idea of social network in Africa comes in later on and as such it does not exist for long.
8. Economic stability and less risk of loss of wealth
9. Cultural diversity: Lagos is a home for every body, people from different background, culturally and economically are found in Lagos and as such gives room for sociall and cultural in tegration.
10. Religious or political tolerance (living in a more liberal or less repressive state or country) : a sure bet in Lagos state because both Muslims and Christians are found there and it gives room for every one to practice his/her rligion without fear or favour.
Lagos state been filled with an migrants from almost all the state in Nigeria in search for employment due to it commercial nature; Ajegunle is an area in Lagos, Located in the North-eastern flank of Lagos State the former administrative and commercial city in Nigeria in Ajeromi/Ifelodun Local Government Area/Post Express 1998: Appendix 7) Majority of the migrants provided labour for the industries in Lagos until the economic decline in the 80*s due to the crash in global oil prices. These area did not have a comprehensive planning, rather it was a product of a spontaneous urban sprawl of that time. Human settlements in the area could be traced back into the 50*s as Lagos became s strategic commercial city in the West African sub-region. This are in Lagos has suffered severe social exclusion from the socio-economic life of the city of Lagos. The residents in Lagos Ajegunle area were spurred under these circumstances to develop an informal means of interaction considering the fact that they all faced the problem of socio-economic and ecological decline. Crime was very high, building designs very defective no waste management policy, social life was virtually limited within residents and they were more isolated from the rest of the society. All these causes ageing population and environmental degradation. Population growth as it has been define be as a result of increased birth rate, decrease mortality, and increased immigration.
2.2 STRUCTURE CHANGE
Population, Structure and Distribution: Estimates by the United Nations and the Lagos State Regional Master Plan put the state’s current population at about 10.6 million inhabitants. However, the 1991 census of Nigeria puts the population of Lagos State at 5,685,781 or 6.42 per cent of the national total.
The figure still makes Lagos State the most populous state in the Federation. With its area of 3,577 sq. km. the smallest in the country, the state’s population density of 1,590 persons per sq. km. is therefore high. The density value for builtup metropolitan Lagos, estimated at 20,000 persons per sq. km. is even higher still. A 1988 estimate indicates that the population of Lagos State had been growing at an annual rate of 8 percent in the urban areas and 3 percent in the rural areas.
Obviously, the urban growth rate has been enhanced by inmigration. However, in view of the movement of the Federal Government to Abuja in December 1991, the growth rates are like ly to have begun to decrease, or to increase at a decreasing rate.
The most populous LGA in the state is Ojo with 17.8 percent of the 1991 population, closely followed by Mushin together with Oshodi/lsolo (17.4 percent) and Lagos Mainland/Surulere (15.3 percent). While the least populated LGA is IbejuLekki (0.4. per cent); the other LGAs occupy various positions in between.
Urbanisation and Human Settlement System: The main urban centres in the State are Badagry, Epe, Ikorodu, Ikeja and Lagos. The urbanisation process that has taken place in Lagos has been of such significance in the State and in Nigeria as a whole that it should receive special attention.
Although not European in origin, Lagos represents most spectacularly one of that class of Nigerian cities whose growth and development have been significantly shaped by European influ ences. Starting from a small settlement made by the Awori (a subgroup of the Yorubas), first at EbuteMetta and later (for defence reasons) at iddo, probably in the early part of the 17th century, the settlement of Lagos existed rather quietly up to the end of the 18th century.
From 1821 onwards, it became an important slave port on the West African coast. Important turning points in the subsequent growth of Lagos include the bombardment of the city by the British in 1851, with the purpose of ousting the slavetrade inclined King Kosoko and restoring Akintoye as King of Lagos; the resulting aban donment of the city by the civilian population and the slow growth thereafter; the formal cession of Lagos as a Colony to Britain in 1861; and the sub sequent establishment of regular government and administration of justice.
Then followed piecemeal addition of hinterland areas to ensure political and commercial stability; the subsequent growth in com merce and the development of communications cuminating in the founding of the Lagos Chambers of Commerce in 1897. The construction of the railway started in 1895 and harbour improvement followed (19081917). The volume of trade has continued to grow over the years.
Subsequently, various public programmes relating to industrial development, swamp reclamation and mosquito campaigns, pipe borne water, transportation facilities, commercial activities and the city’s increasing functions as the capital of the Federation accelerated the growth of Lagos into the greatest single concentration of skills and disposable income in the country. By 1963, the city (the Municipality of Lagos), made up of such components as Lagos Island, Lagos Mainland, Ikoyi and Victoria Island, Apapa and other areas had an official population figure of 665,246.
However, the geographic city beyond the boundaries of the Municipality was much larger. The spectacular road development works since the 1970s (the construction of the Eko Bridge, the reconstruction of Ikorodu Road into a 10lane dual carriage way, the construction of the Third Mainland Bridge, the ApapaOworonshoki Expressway, the LagosBadagry Expressway, the Abeokuta Expressway, the Victoria lslandEpe road as well as the interconnecting roads that link them into elabo rate circumferential route ways and circulation paths have been both responses to and catalysts of the explosive growth of metropolitan Lagos.
The process of urbanisation still continues in Lagos and with it comes various problems concern ing administration, land acquisition, housing and rents, sanitation, transportation, water supply and crime. These issues are brought to the attention of the public continually through the news media, and they remain endemic subjects of governmental pol icy and programmes.
The settlement system in Lagos state is obvi ously dominated by metropolitan Lagos which incorporates not less than 16 of the 20 local government areas (LGAs): Agege, Ajeromilfelodun, AmuwoOdofin, Alimosho, Apapa, EtiOsa, lfako ljaye, Ikeja, Kosofe, Lagos Island, Lagos Mainland, Mushin, Oshodilsolo, Somolu, Surulere and part of Ojo.
In each of the four remaining LGAs, there is typically a focal town surrounded by numerous lowerorder settlements and village communities. In Badagry LGA, the focal town is the ancient settlement of Badagry which was a major slave out post in precolonial times and is reputed as being the first place in Nigeria where Christianity was preached in 1842.
There are about 120 other com munities and villages in the LGA including Ajara, Topo, Panko, Akarakumo, Aseri, Egun and others. The situation in Epe LGA is similar, the focal town being Epe. The other settlements are about 311, including Agbowalkosi, ltoiki, Ejirin, Onisawasawa, Ubuja, lpabodo and numerous others.
IbejuLekki LGA has as the main town, not the local govern ment headquarters which is Akodo but a more developed small town, Ibeju. Distributed irregularly around and between these two are about 153 other village communities, including Lekki, Magbon Alade and others. Finally, Ikorodu LGA has as its focal town the local government headquarters, Ikorodu, which is a veritable commercial city in its own right.
Being the location of the transmitters for the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, the Voice of Nigeria and Lagos State Broadcasting Corporation (Radio and Television), it is an important communication centre as well as a major gate way to the country’s hinterland.
There are about 260 other settlements in the LGA, including lgbogbo, Imota, Maya, Baiyeku, ljede, Majidun, Ajegunie, Agbede, Aguru, Odugunyan and others. These four LGAs Badagry, Epe, IbejuLekki and Ikorodu contain virtually the totality of rural areas in Lagos State.

The current data on shown below is an indication that there has been restructuring both population and structure change.
3.0 SPATIAL INTERACTION PERSPECTIVE IN LAGOS STATE.
Spatial interaction is the flow of products, people, services, or information among places, in response to localized supply and demand.
It is a transportation supply and demand relationship that is often expressed over a geographical space. Spatial interactions usually include a variety of movements such as travel, migration, transmission of information, journeys to work or shopping, retailing activities, or freight distribution.
Edward Ullman, perhaps the leading transportation geographer of the twentieth century, more formally addressed interaction as complementarity (a deficit of a good or product in one place and a surplus in another), transferability (possibility of transport of the good or product at a cost that the market will bear), and lack of intervening opportunities (where a similar good or product that is not available at a closer distance).
3.1 Complementarity
The first factor necessary for interaction to take pace is complementarity.
In order for trade to take place, there has to be a surplus of a desired product in one area and a shortage or demand for that same product in another area.
The greater the distance, between trip origin and trip destination, the less likelihood of a trip occurring and the lower the frequency of trips. An example of complementarity would be that you live in sango ota, Ogun state and want to go to silverbird Galleria in Lagos for vacation/ see a movie, which is located in Victoria Island, Lagos. In this example, the product of the journey is Victoria Island which is the destination while sango Ota is the source. In the same vein we have pwople moving from other part of Nigeria into lagos for various reason’s that have been mentioned above under the pull factor.
3.2 Transferability
The second factor necessary for interaction to take pace is transferability. In some cases, it is simply not feasible to transport certain goods (or people) a great distance because the transportation costs are too high in comparison to the price of the product.
In all other cases where the transportation costs are not out of line with price, we say that the product is transferable or that transferability exists.
This concept is totally in contrast to what happen in Lagos because long distance journey form the north where goods such as agricultural drosuce are transported to lagos for sale and eventual consumption, also people come from other areas like form the east and southern part for employment oppourtunities.
Using our Silverbird Galleriaand employment example, we need to know how many people are going, and the amount of time we have to do the trip (both travel time and time at the destination). If only one person is traveling to lagos state and they need to travel in the same day, then flying may be the most realistic option of transferability cost ranges between 7,000 – 15,0000 naira round-trip; however, most of them use road transport which will cost far lesser than the amount for air travel
As one can see, transferability can be accomplished by one of several different modes of transportation depending on the number of people, distance, the average cost to transport each person, and the time available for travel.
3.3 Lack of Intervening Opportunities
The third factor necessary for interaction to take place is the absence or lack of intervening opportunities. There may be a situation where complementarity exists between an area with a high demand for a product and several areas with a supply of that same product in excess of local demand.
In this particular case, the first area would be unlikely to trade with all three suppliers, but would instead trade with the supplier that was closest or least costly. In our example of the trip to lagos, “Is there any other destination identical to Victoria Island, providing an intervening opportunity between other states to lagos?” The obvious answer would be “no.” However, if the question was, “Is there any other area that will provide the same oppourtunity lagos provides for all comers in terms of education, economics and social life? The answer is NOI, similar to Lagos is may be Abuja, Port-Harcourth, Calabar, but not the same as Lagos, at least not to be compared to Lagos..
As you can see from this example, there are numerous factors that could affect complementarity, transferability, and lack of intervening opportunities
We have seen the cause / what will inform the spatial interaction with lagos and the spatial restructuring that has occurs let us look at the effect of these actions.
4.0 THE CONSEQUENCES OF RAPID POPULATION GROWTH
Rapid human population growth has a variety of consequences. Population grows fastest in the world’s poorest countries. High fertility rates have historically been strongly correlated with poverty, and high childhood mortality rates. Falling fertility rates are generally associated with improved standards of living, increased life expectancy, and lowered infant mortality. Overpopulation and poverty have long been associated with increased death, and disease. 25 People tightly packed into unsanitary housing are inordinately vulnerable to natural disasters and health problems which is a major in Lagos state.
However, most of the lagos 13million desperately poor people live in less developed areas. One in five lagos inhabitant reportedly lives below the country’s official poverty line The rapid expansion of population size observed since the days of the colonial masters has been a cause of various social vices.
Poverty is a condition of chronic deprivation and need at the family level. Poverty, is a major concern of humankind, because poverty everywhere reduces human beings to a low level of existence. Poor people lack access to enough land and income to meet basic needs. A lack of basic needs results in physical weak-ness and poor health. Poor health decreases the ability of the poor to work and put them deeper into poverty.
Instead of allowing poverty to persist, it is important to limit our number be-cause in dense populations too many lack adequate food, water, shelter, education and employment. High fertility, which has been traditionally associated with pros-perity, prestige, and security for the future, now jeopardizes chances for many to achieve health and security
Rich and poor cities alike are affected by population growth, though the population of industrial countries are growing more slowly than those of develop-ing one. At the present growth rates, the population of economically developed countries would double in 120 years. The Third World, with over three quarters of the world’s people, would double its numbers in about 33 years. This rapid dou-bling time reflects the fact that 37 percent of the developing world’s population is under the age of 15 and entering their most productive childbearing years. In the Third World countries (excluding China), 40 percent of the people are under 15; in some African countries, nearly half are in this age group.
Lagos current and projected population growth calls for an increase in efforts to meet the needs for food, water, health care, technology and education. In the poorest countries, massive efforts are needed to keep social and economic con-ditions from deteriorating further; any real advances in well-being and the quality of life are negated by further population growth. Many countries lack adequate supplies of basic materials needed to support their current population. Rapid population growth can affect both the overall quality of life and the degree of hu-man suffering on Earth.
5.0 THE WAY FORWARD
ACTIONS AND STRATEGIES THAT CAN BE DEVELOPED TO SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS
There is controversy over whether population growth is good or bad. Over-population and continuing population growth are making substantial contributions to the destruction of Earth’s life support systems. In the past, human populations have rarely been subject to explosion. In numbers. The powerful long-term mo-mentum that is built into the human age structure means that the effects of fertility changes become apparent only in the future. For these reasons, it is now conven-tional practice to use the technology of population projection as a means of better understanding the implications of trends.
Population projections represent the playing out into the future of a set of as-sumptions about future fertility and mortality rates. More public education is needed to develop more awareness about population issues. Facts like the size or the growth rate of the human population should be in the head of every citizen. Schools should inform students about population issues in order for them to make projections about the future generations.
Action plans and strategies can be developed to increase public understanding of how rapid population growth limits chances for meeting basic needs. The spirit of open communication, and empowerment of individual women and men will be key to a successful solution to many population problems. Collective vision about health care, family planning and women’s education at the community level build a basis for action. The creation of action plans help to meet challenges to find coop-erative solutions. Free and equal access to health care, family planning and educa-tion are desirable in their own right and will also help reduce unwanted fertility.
Individual choice, human rights and collective responsibility are key to al-lowing families to plan the size and spacing of their children. It is essential to achieve a balance between population and the available resources. Teachers, par-ents, community workers and other stakeholders should extend the range of choices about available resources to individuals, especially women, and by equal-izing opportunities between the genders from birth onwards.
Teachers, parents, other educators, politicians and other concerned citizens can practice how to make good decisions in everyday life. Decisions about family size, and resource will affect the future generations. Through commu-nity forums, specific issues about the population growth can be discussed and possible action plans can be developed.
Teachers, as well as students can use the information super highway to gain knowledge about other countries’ population and resources. Teachers can help students with problems and decision making on a daily basis. The investigation of world population will raise the level of awareness, so that we can learn to handle problems based on data. This data can help us to analyze our situations in a practical way.
Teachers, students, parents and other stakeholders can look for trends in the population explosion. They can hold community meetings at school to discuss how this issue presents a challenge to the big picture of human population on the planet “Earth”.
Above all we should
Once we recognize the fact that overpopulation is a problem and that increasing standards of living around the world will add to our resource-use and pollution-management challenges, it’s tempting to start thinking that disease, poverty, and premature death are unfortunate but necessary (as long as they happen to someone else, of course). We must resist any such temptation and work toward better solutions.
We should:
• continue to strive to reduce suffering by combating disease and poverty around the world;
• continue to improve resource efficiency and pollution control so that standards of living can rise without negative impact; and
• keep human population to numbers that are sustainable.
On the population front, that means:
• making sure people around the world have access to family planning services;
• empowering women in developing countries economically, socially, and legally in a manner that results in them having an equal say (with their husbands) in reproductive decisions;
• modifying school curricula to include information on population levels and implications for the future;
• reforming tax laws in a way that encourages couples to have no more than two children. (They would still be able to have as many kids as they want, but the tax code would no longer subsidize more than two.)
People are a good thing, but population growth without limit is not. The US and all developed countries should reinvigorate their international efforts to slow population growth.

So… I found out (well I guess I always knew), I’m little short on money. LoL Might have to hold off on the traveling for a while. So February upload might be more consistent than I expected. = P always schedule kickass things(like jakayatt says), so even if you fail, you still have “ok” things to do. If you start with “ok” things and doesn’t work out, you have “crap” things to do. SO start big! good and bad —————————- BIG BANG BIG SHOW CONCERT I never been in the Seoul area, so I thought I would have hard time finding the concert place. It was relatively easy. All I had to was follow the trail of screaming girls in skirts. URG! they didn’t allowed camera ! that blew ! there was some highlights 1. I don’t even know the song but DaeSung hit this extremely high note. A beautiful falsetto. It even turned me on. Being musician, I have to say it had to be higher than high D. 2. IRIS! Big Bang- Hallelujah song was good. TOP tore the stage apart. I guess show is popular as much as the drama 3. A girl passed out during the concert.

Simplicity Snowblowers: Clearing Snow Made Simple

Simplicity Snowblowers: Clearing Snow Made Simple
The secret behind the success of Simplicity snowblowers is perfectly simple: good results. One of the best things about snow blowers from Simplicity is that their snow blowers clear away snow very well. After all, that is the most important thing since it is the main thing expected from a snow blower. Simplicity snow machines are quite simple. They may not overflow with features but they do have the most important features necessary to power the machines and bring great results. That’s what you will get from snow blowers from Simplicity.
Compact and Basic Single-Stage Snow Thrower
Simplicity offers four basic types of snow blowers. The first one is their compact single-stage snow thrower. The compact single-stage snow blower can do the job required of it with ease, but it is also easy to handle for the user. The compact machine is both easy to maneuver and easy to store. However, the small size does not in any way affect how the machine clears away snow from your driveway. This compact-sized snow machine can also be used for decks and sidewalks. Though it is not the biggest and the most powerful snow machine around, this model from Simplicity is a great companion for light winters. It is equipped with a 5.25 ft-lbs. gross torque, a 4-cycle Briggs and Stratton Snow Series engine, an all-rubber auger that is strong and highly durable, an electric start, and enough power to throw snow up to 30 feet so you can be sure that your driveway will be cleared of snow. It has a 22-inch clearing width, which can still be adjusted to just 19 or 20 depending on your needs. The lightweight nature of the machine, however, is still its best features. It also has folding handles for easy storage. The suggested price of this machine is 0, which makes it an affordable choice for its range of benefits.
Intermediate Two-Stage Snow Throwers
Simplicity also offers the intermediate dual-stage snowthrower. This packs optimal performance into one package along with sheer convenience. This highly user-friendly machine allows easy maneuverability despite its bigger size. This is one of the most affordable large snow blowers. It is equipped with power that can handle even heavy snow, especially with its special welded body constructed with heavy winters in mind. It has a heavy-gauge steel frame, an auger housing and dual-stage chute units. Just like the compact model, it has a Briggs and Stratton Snow series engine, a separate choke and throttle control, and a cold-weather primer. You can rely on the snow machine to start easily despite whatever snow conditions you may be faced with. The machine also has a 9.0 ft-lbs. gross torque, a 24-inch clearing width, a friction disk drive, 6 forward speeds, 2 reverse speeds, a 190 degrees chute rotation, an adjustable deflector, and 13-inch Snow Hog tires for a good grip. It can throw snow up to 38 feet away with its serrated steel auger and 10-inch 4-blade impeller. This snow thrower can be bought at ,100.
Large-Frame Dual-Stage Snow Throwers
But if you want a larger snow thrower with more features, check out the Large-Frame Dual-Stage Simplicity snowblowers. This model is great for larger areas and heavier snow with its all-steel chute that can rotate up to 200 degrees. It also comes with the exclusive Easy Turn system and Free Hand Control for easy maneuverability. The Easy Turn system allows users to navigate even tight turns with minimal effort. You simply have to pull a trigger on the handle to release the drive power and be able to maneuver easily. The Free Hand Control, on the other hand, allows users to operate the machine with just one hand so the other hand will be free to make necessary adjustments. There are several large-frame models and most of them fall under the 1,200 to 2,500 price range.
Signature Pro Commercial Duty Snow Throwers
The best models, however, are the Signature Pro Commercial Duty Dual-Stage Snow Throwers, which are equipped with the same features plus the Power Boost system for automatic adjustment of the auger and impeller based on the snow coverage. It comes in a heavy-duty body with cast iron gear housing and the Briggs and Stratton Snow Series Max engine. Prices of Signature Pro snow blowers can reach up to ,700.
Pros: Easy maneuverability, Free Hand Control, Easy Turn system, Power Boost system, Briggs and Stratton Snow Series and Snow Series Max engines.
Cons: May be a bit expensive or may lack some features found in other models from other brands.
The Verdict
Simplicity snowblowers come in different types for different levels of need. Some models are affordable while some can be expensive. They have affordable basic models, though, that offer better value than other models with the same range of features.

6 Smart Moves to Keep You Sizzlin’ This Summer
Summer is here and that means that there’s no better time for your derrière to be firm than now. The following tips and tricks will keep you slim, trim and turning heads the next time you bare all at the pool or beach.
Eat healthy. Youâve heard it once and youâll hear it a million times. Cut out the crap and starting eating more fruits and vegetables. If you want to stay trim, youâve got to burn more calories than you eat â itâs not rocket science â either work out more, or eat less.
Early to bed and early to rise. The average adult needs about 7-8 hours of sleep every night in order to function at full capacity. Note, these numbers can fluctuate on an individual basis. Getting the sufficient amount of sleep will not only give you more energy during the day, but it can keep you healthier than individuals whose sleep patterns are irregular. If you need an extra jolt of energy come mid afternoon, try Akavar 2050 to get you through the rest of the day.
Try a new exercise routine. All the rage now is the 400-year-old Brazillian martial arts called Capoeira (pronounced “cap-WEAR-ah”). Once used as a defensive art form, it is now the hot new thing when it comes to toning your glutes and strengthening the upper body, legs and abs. Click here to see a workout video that teaches you a few Capoeira moves that will get you lookinâ good in a matter of a few weeks.
Drink more water. Especially during the summer months, drinking lots of water is a crucial element to staying healthy and hydrated. Drinking water will also help flush your system of toxins and will give your skin a healthy and radiating glow. Aim for drinking at least 8 glasses of water every day.
Protect Your Skin. Drinking enough water can only help your skin out so much. Itâs important to keep your skin properly protected during the hot summer months. Apply generous amounts of sunscreen whenever youâll be out in the sun (at least SPF 15) and reapply often. Also, donât forget lip balm with sunscreen to keep your lips protected from the sunâs harmful rays.
Sunglasses and beach hats are a must. Summer accessories are not only fashionable, but theyâll keep you looking younger longer. Sunglasses will protect your eyes from the sunâs damaging UV rays and a beach hat will protect your face and will keep your skin from aging sooner than youâd like.
Summer is a freelance health and beauty writer from California. She loves spending time outdoors with her family, running on the beach and of course, writing.
