The USA has the worst Healthcare system in the developed worldclipped by: blackroseheartclippers remarks: Please check out the link ... clips dont allow for enough to fully appreciate the whole story. Many acres of print have consumed by dishonest characters desperate to prove that the USA has a better health delivery system than ?socialist? Europe when it is clear to any sober observer that this is not true. I thought I would do a broad comparative analysis of the two systems with an emphasis on the UK. A few brief visits to some reputable websites revealed much of what I have written below. Despite the hollow ravings of some greedy, mean-spirited, individuals, my research clearly shows that America probably has the worst health system of all developed nations. When judging a countries health care systems performance we must take into account efficiently, accessibility and affordability. It is the only developed country I know whose citizens actually go bankrupt because of medical bills. Were these isolated cases we might be able to ignore this but I doubt that anyone can justify the fact that a stunning 6O% of personal bankruptcies come about as a result of medical bills in the USA.

Living each day hopeless and feeling inferior. Forgetting about the word ?hope?. True hope dwells on the possible, even when life seems to be a plot written by someone who wants to see how much adversity we can overcome. True hope responds to the real world, to real life; it is an active effort. You can change ? if you can imagine problems, you can imagine solutions. On your journey to success there will always be distractions. There will always be critics and detractors, but you cannot allow them to derail your plans and lose your focus because of them. You fail to consider that it?s not about how good you are, it?s how good you want to be. domesclipped by: amrelkhoolyDome A dome is a structural element of architecture that resembles the hollow upper half of a sphere.

Why? PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti ? The earthquake in Chile was far stronger than the one that struck Haiti last month ? yet the death toll in this Caribbean nation is magnitudes higher. The reasons are simple. Chile is wealthier and infinitely better prepared, with strict building codes, robust emergency response and a long history of handling seismic catastrophes. No living Haitian had experienced a quake at home when the Jan. 12 disaster crumbled their poorly constructed buildings. And Chile was relatively lucky this time. Saturdays quake was centered offshore an estimated 21 miles underground in a relatively unpopulated area while Haitis tectonic mayhem struck closer to the surface ? about 8 miles ? and right on the edge of Port-au-Prince. Onlookers save 2 children from killer momclipped by: wiccantexanA Charlotte County corporal and two onlookers may have saved two children whose mother allegedly tried to drown them. The incident happened late Friday, when authorities responded to a single-vehicle crash. The 21-year-old driver allegedly left the scene, walking to a retention pond while holding her two young children. When approached, she allegedly jumped into the water and held the children down. Authorities say Cpl. Emmitt Merritt and the two citizens pulled them out, and the kids suffered no serious damage. The woman was involuntarily hospitalized under Floridas Baker Act, which provides for psychiatric evaluations of those deemed a threat to themselves or others.

The basis for the law was a recent case in which a 17-year-old girl, who was seven months pregnant, paid a man $150 to beat her in an attempt to cause a miscarriage While the bill does not affect legally obtained abortions, it criminalizes any actions taken by women to induce a miscarriage or abortion outside of a doctors care, with penalties including up to life in prison. the bill also creates a standard that could make women legally responsible for miscarriages caused by "reckless" behavior Homemade Giftable Mix Recipesclipped by: Athena09 ?Imaginative and different, these recipes are sure to please as gifts.

The code?s vocabulary " 411 terms " was based on association: dive-bomber became chickenhawk; fighter-plane, humming-bird; battleship, whale; submarine, iron fish. The Navajos used imagination and humor too. They called ammunition ?all sorts of shells,? and antitank missiles ?tortoise shooters?; Australia was ?rolled hat.? and China, ?braided hair?.  The Navajo Code Talkers: Helped to Win World War II The early hours of December 7, 1941, marked the dawn of what President Franklin D. Roosevelt called ?a date which will live in infamy.? The day that the Japanese launched a surprise attack on the U.S. fleet anchored at Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian Islands was the day that brought the United States into World War II.   Language Barrier: The unwritten language of the Navajo Indians was used at the basis of a cryptic code that the Japanese never deciphered throughout the Pacific campaign. An incident on the island of Saipan was typical. One night the enemy retreated a few hundred yards and a unit of U.S. marines moved forward. But in the darkness and confusion, members of the unit immediately found themselves under artillery fire ? from their own countrymen. The marines urgently radioed headquarters to explain their plight. But the gunfire only intensified; their message was being considered a Japanese ruse.

No lullaby could have soothed her more. Mrs. Winchester, a widow, was neither deaf nor, by most accounts, particularly eccentric. The constant noise was simply part of her life?s special mission. Mrs. Winchester found her strange vocation not long after her husband, William, died in 1881. At that time she inherited about $20 million, as well as an income of about $1,000 a day, from William?s holdings in the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. But unconsoled by her wealth, grieving for her husband, and troubled by the death of their only child, Mrs. Winchester sought comfort from a spiritualist in Boston.

Bond?s career was ruined, his reputation destroyed. Within a few years he had been removed from his post at the abbey, while his architectural practice dwindled to nothing. The man who had proved beyond reasonable doubt that a source of knowledge could exist beyond reach of our normal senses remained an outcast from society the rest of his life . The very first session produced the solution ? in Latin ? to one of Glastonbury?s best-known mysteries: the location of the Edgar Chapel, a 15th century addition to the abbey that had disappeared without a trace. The spirit of a monk called Johannes Bryant, who claimed he had been born in 1497 and died in 1533, gave the chapel?s precise site, dimensions, and decor. Johannes also said that there was a door in the east wall of the chapel ? a highly unusual feature.   Archeologist and architect Frederick Bligh Bond was delighted when, in 1907, he was given the job of excavating England?s most important Christian site, the buried ruins of Glastonbury Abbey. But he was faced with a major problem: no one knew the exact location of the abbey before its destruction in 1539, during the English Reformation, and the budget could not possibly accommodate a full-scale dig.

Van Butchell turned to Dr. William Hunter, under whom he had studied, and Dr. William Cruikshank. They took on the task, injecting the body with preservatives to which coloring had been added to give Mary?s cheeks a rosy glow. A pair of ?nicely matched glass eyes? completed the effect.

CDC Panel Calls for Flu Vaccine for Allclipped by: karevalclippers remarks: Moreover, the universal recommendation simplifies the extremely complicated current recommendations that create confusion about who should and should not be vaccinated. And it makes it likely that insurers will cover flu shots for all healthy adults. ACIP members also said that the universal recommendation would assure Americans that the nations public health experts are fully confident in the safety and effectiveness of the flu vaccine -- particularly the H1N1 swine flu vaccine. The 2010-2011 seasonal flu vaccine will include the H1N1 swine flu vaccine, as the pandemic virus appears to have replaced the seasonal H1N1 virus covered by previous vaccines.

The CDC almost certainly will make universal flu vaccination official U.S. policy for this falls 2010-2011 flu season, as it consistently follows the advice of the panel of outside experts, called the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). Now flu vaccination will be advised even for healthy adults ages 19 to 49 who do not come into contact with infants or elderly people, who are at highest risk of flu complications. Thats only 15% of the U.S. population. But the ACIP say the effect of the universal recommendation will affect far more people. Thats because a lot of people for whom the flu vaccine already is recommended dont think of themselves as being at high risk.

Properly resolved, personal disappointments can be stepping stones to personal growth, realistic goals, and deeper compassion for others.  Anyone who faces disappointment experiences feelings of loss, and needs to make adjustments. Somewhat like the person who loses a loved one through death, the disappointed person must work through anger, sadness, a sense of failure, and periods of unbelief. If these normal reactions are denied or left unresolved, the aftermath of disappointment can become a giant lump of depression.

Must we sit through yet another performance of this tragic tale? Ludwig von Mises was snubbed by economists world-wide as he warned of a credit crisis in the 1920s. We ignore the great Austrian at our peril today. Misess ideas on business cycles were spelled out in his 1912 tome "Theorie des Geldes und der Umlaufsmittel" ("The Theory of Money and Credit"). Not surprisingly few people noticed, as it was published only in German and wasnt exactly a beach read at that. "Theorie des Geldes" did not become the playbook for policy makers. The 1920s were marked by the brave new era of the Federal Reserve system promoting inflationary credit expansion and with it permanent prosperity. Sadly, poor Ludwig was very nearly alone in warning of the collapse to come from this credit expansion. In mid-1929, he stubbornly turned down a lucrative job offer from the Viennese bank Kreditanstalt, much to the annoyance of his fiancée, proclaiming "A great crash is coming, and I dont want my name in any way connected with it." Economics in One Sentenceclipped by: Rusteeclippers remarks: From the first chapter of the classic book, "Economics in One Lesson". Economics is haunted by more fallacies than any other study known to man. This is no accident. While certain public policies would in the long run benefit everybody, other policies would benefit one group only at the expense of all other groups. It will hire the best buyable minds to devote their whole time to presenting its case. In addition to these endless pleadings of self-interest, there is a second main factor that spawns new economic fallacies every day. It is the fallacy of overlooking secondary consequences. In this lies the whole difference between good economics and bad. From this aspect, therefore, the whole of economics can be reduced to a single lesson, and that lesson can be reduced to a single sentence. The art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups.

Age does affect fertility and may slightly increase the chances of the pregnant woman developing certain medical problems; but good health ad good prenatal care can reduce most of these risks.  If you are in your thirties and having your first baby, you are one of thousands of women each year who have planned motherhood at a later age. Reasons for delaying childbirth vary from woman to woman. Education, economics, career advancement, and other reasons have been weighed against concerns regarding fertility and problems in pregnancy. Nicholas Meyers Movie Memoriesclipped by: ellesrainbowclippers remarks: I remember the air raid drills in elementary school in the 60s in California. Thought this was a great example of how Hollywood changed our world for the better. Nicholas Meyers Movie MemoriesFilling in for George, Ian Punnett welcomed Oscar-nominated screenwriter and director Nicholas Meyer (book link) for a discussion that centered largely around his work on the 1983 made-for-TV production The Day After. The movie depicts the aftermath of a nuclear exchange between the United States and former Soviet Union, from the point of view of several residents of Lawrence, Kansas. Sponsors dropped their support for the program and the movie was aired with no commercial breaks after the initial bombing scene, Meyer said. Approximately 100 million Americans tuned into The Day After during its original broadcast, making it the most successful and highest rated TV movie for its time. According to Meyer, then-President Ronald Reagan even credited the film for changing his mind on the idea of winnable nuclear war.

Palace Found in Volcanic Crater
clipped by: skwirlinatorPrinces Palace Found in Volcanic Crater
The residence of Sextus Tarquinius, the prince who sparked the revolt that led to the foundation of the Roman Republic, may have been found.
The remains of what might have been the residence of the Etruscan prince Sextus Tarquinius, son of the last legendary king of Rome Tarquinius Superbus (Tarquin the Proud), have been found on the slopes of an extinct volcanic crater about 12 miles from Rome, Italian archaeologists have announced.
"We hope to unearth the rest of the residence this spring. In particular, we are looking to piece together the richly decorated roof," Fabbri said.
The son of Romes last king, the despotic Tarquinius Superbus, Sextus Tarquinius is notorious for having raped Lucretia, the virtuous wife of his cousin Tarquinius Collatinus.
"The people of Gabii murdered Sextus after he entered the town. It is not a coincidence that the lavish building is intentionally destroyed around this time," Fabbri said.

The Rosetta Stone
clipped by: dyom123clippers remarks: A nice, brief write-up on the Rosetta Stone with a link to an clear image.
The Rosetta Stone was the key that unlocked the mysteries of Egyptian hieroglyphics. Napoleons troops discovered it in 1799 near the seaside town of Rosetta in lower Egypt, and it eventually made its way into the British Museum in London where it resides today. It is a slab of black basalt dating from 196 BC. inscribed by the ancient Egyptians with a royal decree praising their king Ptolemy V. The inscription is written on the stone three times, once in hieroglyphic, once in demotic, and once in Greek. Thomas Young, a British physicist, and Jean Francois Champollion, a French Egyptologist, collaborated to decipher the hieroglyphic and demotic texts by comparing them with the known Greek text. From this meager starting point a generation of Egyptologists eventually managed to read most everything that remains of the Egyptians ancient writings.

A Nuclear bunker for sale on eBay
clipped by: wiganfootieA nuclear bunker and surrounding land in Derbyshire is expected to fetch up to £25,000 in an eBay auction.
The decommissioned cold war bunker, built in 1959 into a field in the Peak District, has attracted hundreds of hits.
The bunker has lighting and a phone line and can be used as living accommodation for short periods.
It is described by the private seller as "a rare opportunity to acquire a valuable piece of Cold War history".
The bunker was built as a master monitoring post by the Royal Observer Corps (ROC), amid the threat of nuclear attack, but decommissioned after the collapse of the former Soviet Union.
It is accessed via a metal hatch and shaft, and a 15ft (4.57m) ladder leads to two rooms - one for a chemical toilet and the other, of 15ft x 7ft 6in (4.57m x 2.28m), for the monitoring equipment.
Two ventilation shafts are built in and much of the original equipment is still in place.
The auction ends on 7 March.
Are You Addicted to Adrenalin?
clipped by: Athena09clippers remarks: This dependency on certain ?exciting? activities, hobbies, and challenges has something in common with well-known addictions such as alcoholism and drug abuse.
Many men and women today experience a certain panic disorder that greatly affects their lives. It is brought on by the over-excitement of the body?s stress-response system. This over-excitement can be caused just as easily by doing something pleasurable as by experiencing something painful or unpleasant. The thrill of getting married or watching the home team win can produce as much stress as struggling to meet a publisher?s deadline or facing an angry boss. Strangely enough, the body really can?t tell the difference.

Driver down in the dumps

Police say the 65-year-old motorist hit the accelerator instead of the brake as he was backing up to the dump and shot off the edge into the trash below at the refuse centre in Bazenheid, Switzerland.
Firefighters had to winch shocked Heiner Mollard to safety for treatment for cuts and bruises.
And to add insult to injury, Mollard was fined the equivalent of £50 by dump bosses for leaving an "inappropriate item" in a recyling bin.
A fire brigade spokesman said: "He really floored it - he smashed a metal gate out the way and drove over a nine inch safety barrier before falling down the chute."
Crane driver Andreas Baum who was moving rubbish around the site said: "I saw a flash of yellow - and suddenly this car was in the rubbish pit."

Court rules that horror-movie style zombies have the right to free speech after a group of protesters dressed as zombies were arrested by Minnesota police.
A court has allowed a group of protesters dressed as zombies to continue with a lawsuit against police who arrested them for disorderly conduct.
The appeal court overturned a previous finding that the group had correctly been arrested over a 2006 protest in a shopping centre.
The group had been wearing makeup designed to make them look like and extra in a horror flick, with white faces, fake blood and black circles round their eyes.
They then proceeded to stagger round the shops, urging consumers to "get your brains here".
They also carried audio equipment, which police described as "simulated weapons of mass destruction", even though they were mobile phones.

Women be warned - the mascara, eyeliner or lip gloss that has been sitting in your makeup bag for a year could be putting you at risk of infection.
Dermatologists and makeup specialists say out-of-date products are rife with bacteria, which could attack through scratches and cuts.
"Makeup will get full of bacteria over time," said Dr Paul Salmon of the Skin Centre in Tauranga.
"Handbags are a dangerous cesspit that many people would be scared of dipping into."
A British study of 1000 woman found the average womans makeup bag is out of date by four years, with 66 per cent sharing makeup and multiplying the chance of infection.
Freelance makeup artist Allie Simpson says women should be most careful with wet products - such as mascara, liquid eyeliner and lip gloss.
Simpson said bacteria is also spread by women who share makeup and apply it near the toilet in their bathroom.

The companys involvement in billboards that declare black children to be an "endangered species" because of abortion is raising concerns among progressive activists about the companys political neutrality.
"The Web site connects abortion to segregation, saying that after the civil rights era, racists went underground, and that today abortion is the tool they use to stealthily target blacks for extermination," the New York Times reported earlier this month.
Amputee Arrested in Alleged Bomb Attempt
clipped by: AntaraAn amputee missing both legs was arrested Thursday after police said he was wheeled into a busy New York City train station and planted a bomb.
Police found the bomb before it could detonate, but the discovery interrupted regional train lines briefly and closed the station for several hours.
The alleged device?a bag of small explosives wrapped in shotgun shells, along with bullets, glue, lug nuts, pens and a ruler?was left in a waiting area at a station in Harlem. Police later surveyed security videos to identify suspects including, Roosevelt Terry, the amputee. Police from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs the Metro-North Railroad that was shut down, arrested Mr. Terry late in the afternoon.
"If the thing blew, people would have gotten hurt ? could have even gotten killed with all the stuff in there," said Bill Morange, director of security for the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
The incident is still under investigation.
