Food Poison: This May Be Your Last Meal
The Agony in Food Poisoning
The Agony in Food Poisoning
The Natural Poison On Your Plate
Millions of people suffer from food poisoning every day. Most people dismiss food poisoning as just a stomach ache accompanied with diarrhea. They believe they will get over it within a day or two. Most of the time they are right, but a few, who decided not to see the doctor wished they did. A website known as emedicinehealth stated that about 76 million people suffer from food poisoning a year, and over 5,000 of these people die. These numbers are just an estimate because most people do not check into the hospital for food poisoning. They view it as a mild sickness. With the death rates rising, is it truly worth the gamble when you decide not to see the doctor?
Death By A Thousand Germs
There are many types of bacteria found in our meals. Some of them get taken care of by our immune system, but most of them cause us to fall into an illness where we end up praying for death. That wish is even granted for some. The WebMD wrote an article stating, that some of the most common diseases are infections caused by bacteria, causing fever accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea. Salmonella is the most commonly encountered culprit because it can be found in improperly cooked meats. It causes Reiter’s syndrome, which is accompanied by arthritis and dysuria (painful urination). Most diseases acquired from pathogenic organisms in food and meals are fatal to children and the elderly, but deadliest of these illnesses for all ages is botulism. It can cause disrupted vision, slow speech, and even weakness. If you do not seek medical attention, it can cause paralysis in many parts of the body including the lungs. Since most people don’t seek medical attention for food poisoning, you can see why this can be a silent killer. We may be large creatures, but even the largest creatures are not impervious to the attacks of microscopic bacteria. That is why when you are afflicted with food poisoning, you must seek medical help or it could be the last meal of your life.

The Existence Of Music In The History Of Man
Pieter de Ring's 17th century oil on canvass, 'Still-life of Musical Instruments'
Pieter de Ring's 17th century oil on canvass, 'Still-life of Musical Instruments'
Entertainment That Existed For Ages
Generally, people have their own taste in music. It may vary depending on social context, age, and culture. In prehistoric times, they use bones, stones, leaves and wood to create their music. From most isolated tribal groups to royalties, music was their form of entertainment. It is an ancestral constituent of human life. The evolution of musical forms was passed on from generation to generation and people became even more fascinated by each radical change. Music is the expression of thoughts of the composers and the emotion of the singer. Singers and musicians were prominent figures even in ancient times.
Beginning Of A Huge Musical Innovation
In the beginning of the 20th century people, modernization came at hand, media technologies were developed, and people started to listen to music over the radio through FM stations. However, that didn’t stop there, people continued to innovate, striving to devise new sound possibilities. From the regular acoustic guitar, people invented the electric guitar, which amplifies a wider range of sound. People started to explore further into more genres. The sequencer came to create an arrangement in the variety of audio effects necessary for a particular musical composition. Music technology has brought a revolution in the development of music.
A Library In Your Pocket
Today, hard-core music fans no longer bring bulky radios to play songs, or keep piles of cassette tapes and CDs in shelves. Portable music devices made it possible to store a whole collection of music in your pocket. In the computer age, there was an enormous improvement in the production of music. It continued to offer more capabilities to access the music of your choice. Technology research firms continued to accelerate easier access to a music library through the internet. Maybe in the next decade, music technology will enable us to keep millions of songs in the palm of our hands and in voice control commands.

What Has Science And Technology Brought To Mankind?
CES 2007 - Asimo
CES 2007 - Asimo
The Life of the Primitive Man
In the primitive times humans lived in caves, rubbed stones to create fire, hunted for daily food and traveled for miles barefoot. People were mainly focused on survival from forces of nature and beasts surrounding them. The primitive man had suffered from ignorance in their hunter-gatherer lifestyle. This situation is far from the modern convenience that we are enjoying today. People before who would think about the computer capabilities now, would be considered nuts.
The Era of Modernization
In recent years modern man’s inventions, capable of performing a variety of tasks, marvelled people. Technology satisfied the requirements to raise the standard of living of people. It constantly seems to seep its way into giving us ideas that we haven’t thought of in the past. Technology has expanded the mental horizon of people. It gives us larger possibilities to extract the potential of resources and help us evolve. This progression touched all spheres of society. This modern era has brought an entirely new type of culture and civilization. The intention of each inventor is to help people enjoy each human activity, making the world a better place.
A Glitch in the System
Two or more people before died, killed by wild animals. However, the modern beast now – a single atomic bomb, could kill thousands of people. People have discovered advances in medical science like x-rays to view the internal organs and detect illnesses but still there are more deadly diseases now than before. We have modern tools to keep our surroundings clean, yet we people are dying of pollution. Technology has brought about the degradation of our environment. We have discovered modern fertilizers that can grow more food for a rapidly growing population. We no longer hunt in the wild for food but millions of children are still dying from hunger. As powerful machines increase its complexities so does the economic field, exacerbating the problems of the poor. Knowing the advantages and disadvantages of technology makes us wonder if we are living better than our ancestors did.

Second Fastest Spinning Asteroid Sailed Past Earth
Magdalena Ridge Observatory
A ten-foot asteroid sailed past earth on November 16. It was small, yes, but asteroid 2010 WA, as it is called, is the second fastest-spinning asteroid seen through the Magdalena Ridge Observatory’s telescope. It rotated every 31 seconds, which is the next fastest rotation rate of an asteroid, second to asteroid 2010 JL88. The Magdalena Ridge Observatory’s telescope provides great visibility and resolution of images it takes. Because of this, detecting and tracking near-earth objects (NEOs) and satellites is easy.
The Relevance of Asteroids to Us
Studying asteroids will provide us with information on the origin of the solar system, because they consist of matter similar to the planets in the solar system. Some asteroids have compositions more primitive from earth’s, which might give us a clue and an insight regarding life’s origins from non-living organic matter. Asteroids yield metals, such as nickel-iron metals and platinum group metals. Earth’s operating mining sites yield platinum metals with a grade of 5 to 10 grams per ton. Asteroid platinum metals, on the other hand, have a grade of 100 grams per ton. Were asteroids ever to strike earth, changing its trajectory would prevent it. Asteroid ‘Apophis’, which is the size of two football fields, is set to move past earth on the 13th of April 2036 as close as 18,300 miles upon the planet’s surface.
United States’ National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Operation: Plymouth Rock
Improving and protecting life on earth is one of National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s missions. United States’ President Barrack Obama’s outline of his plans for the space agency consist of reaching near-earth asteroids, the lunar orbit, Mar’s moons, and the planet Mars, itself. Dubbed as Operation: Plymouth Rock, the space agency would like to send astronauts to near-earth asteroids via the Orion spacecraft. The Orion spacecraft is a five-meter, twenty-one thousand seven hundred pounds wide capsule, capable of holding four astronauts on flights to the International Space Station, when changing crew, and to Moon expeditions. The space agency has spent $3.1 billion dollars on developing the spacecraft. Its landing parachutes still need to be checked for safety and efficiency. At its current weight, it is three hundred pounds heavier than it is supposed to be. The final critical review of the spacecraft’s design is targeted around 2011 or so, when the space agency will begin flight hardware construction.

Facebook Social Shopping: A New Trend In E-commerce
The Facebook Like Stamp
The Facebook Like Stamp
Convenience Of Online Shopping
Shopping online is becoming a new trend in the retail industry. It is a convenient way to make purchases without leaving the convenience of your computer, especially during Christmas rush. It is saving time and effort to go around malls full of people and being spared from sweating when looking for the things you wanted to buy, which once you get, you’ll have to wait for on queues to the counter to pay for it. It is being saved from the stressful carrying of the bulky goods going home.
Online Shopping On Facebook
Apparently, the social networking site has not only been a place to reconnect with old friends but a market place too. E-commerce has finally found its way to the social media platform. Facebook being the largest social site has become a major dynamic location to publish advertisements and promotions. The mass population on Facebook is a perfect market for retail brands to sell their merchandise. There are individual merchants who created their own profiles to advertise goods. They are your friends who want to earn extra income online. They will tag pictures of items they want to sell online. Aside from that, preferred brands had also extended their marketing campaigns on social sites. There you will see tiny buttons of those companies, that keep you abreast of product reviews and promotions, percolating you to the retailer’s online store. The Facebook fan page lets you endorse products to your peers by clicking “like” signs that state your affinity. In time, this creates a niche of loyal advocates patronizing a particular store and recommending it to their friends. This infects enthusiasm to attract more customers based on friend recommendations, a new breed of e-commerce, otherwise known as social shopping. So it seems like making a purchase online that won’t make you leave your social playground. Many people now are embracing the concept of collaborated social networking and shopping. It is no longer a surprise that e-commerce will continue to leverage its way to any social interface like Facebook.

Tigers Are Fast Becoming An Extinct Animal
The Bali Tiger is an extinct tiger subspecie, together with the Javan Tiger and the Caspian Tiger. Active involvement of the local community is needed, if the remaining six tiger subspecies are to be saved from the fate of the Bali Tiger, above, that of extinction.
Tigers are fast becoming an extinct animal. Only 3,200 tigers of all six remaining tiger subspecies exist in the wild. Thirteen countries participated in the recent ‘Tiger Summit’ held in Russia, to create steps that will revive the continuously dwindling tiger population. Estimated to be around 100,000 one hundred years ago, the tiger population has shown no sign of veering from the course of near extinction.
The Tiger, Panthera Tigris, Might Soon Cease to Roam the Jungle
The Tiger, Panthera Tigris, might soon cease to roam the jungle. Three of the nine subspecies of the Tiger specie are extinct. Amur tigers are the largest among the six surviving subspecies. Only 450 of it remains in the Russian Far East, and 35, in the Russia-China border. Bengal tigers primarily live in India, with a population of 2,500 to 3,750, the largest tiger sub specie population of all; nonetheless, it still is an endangered animal in the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species (IUCN). Declared by the Chinese government as pests, which gave license for its hunting, the South China Tiger is listed as a critically endangered animal. Only forty of this sub specie remains in the world. Its wild population, if any still remains, is unknown. The Malayan tiger and the Indo-Chinese tiger subspecies are endangered animals, according to the IUCN and the Save the Tigers Fund, respectively. The smallest tiger sub specie, the Sumatran tiger, is a critically endangered animal. It is found only in the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Jail time and fines are supposed to protect the Sumatran tigers from extinction and conserve its population. It has the darkest coat of all tigers, and is widely hunted for its skin and parts. Bali tigers, Javan tigers, and the Caspian tigers are extinct tiger subspecies. Bali tigers and Javan tigers became extinct in the 1940’s while the Caspian tiger ceased to exist in the 1980’s, because of their hunting and that of their prey, and loss of their habitat.
The ‘Tiger Summit’ in Russia
The ‘Tiger Summit’ was recently held in St. Petersburg, Russia, to create steps that will revive the dwindling tiger population. Thirteen countries participated in the event, hosted by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and the World Bank based in Saint Petersburg. World Bank President Robert Zoellick cites the causes of the threatening tiger extinction as the destruction of its habitat and the illegal haunting and slaughtering of tigers. Poachers and organized hunting groups hunt tigers for their bones, claws, skin, and meat. Tiger parts are on demand for making amulets and Chinese traditional medicine and in private collections. Instilling concern and arousing support for tigers among the local people residing in tiger habitats is the key to protecting tigers from extinction, backed by a strong and active political will. As Zoellick said, ‘If you don’t have local ownership, it won’t work.”
China AIDS Awareness And Support Group Loving Source Shuts Down
A student volunteer signs up for activities on World AIDS Day.
LovingSource, a non-governmental AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) awareness and support organization in China, has been forced to shut down by the Chinese government’s Beijing Tax Bureau. The AIDS group’s efforts concentrated on helping AIDS-afflicted people and orphans, mainly in China’s Henan province. Zen Jiyang, wife of one of the AIDS organization’s founders, Hu Jia, announced on her website it is closing down because of pressure from tax authorities.
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome in China
China has a 2008 population of 1.331,400,000 billion, which makes up 22% of the global population. In 2007 39,000 of its
population died from Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome was first reported in 1982 by fourteen nations. It is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which attacks the human immune system, leaving its host susceptible to opportunistic infections (infections caused by bacteria, virus, fungi, and protozoa) and tumors (a solid mass of abnormally grown tissue, which could be benign, pre-malignant, or cancerous/malignant). 740,000 of China’s population have HIV, 105,000 of which have AIDS. China’s first AIDS case was twenty-five years ago in 1985, in which a traveler from abroad died in Beijing, China’s capital. China has a low AIDS prevalent rate, 0.057%. However, high infection among the country’s sub-population, mainly in Henan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, and Yunnan provinces persists, a major health threat to the national population. In 1987 chinese public health authorities claimed AIDS as a confined problem in the republic, since homosexuality was thought of as its main cause until the disease became the leading cause of mortality, ahead of tuberculosis and rabies, in 2009. The 1990’s press reports showed a large number of the country’s AID’s infected population acquired the virus from blood donation and heterosexual sex. It would take the next decade, which is the current millennium and the 2003 Guangdong outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Disease, a pandemic that infected 37 countries, to prompt China’s Health Minister to potent action because of public health’s effect on economic and social stability. He recognized the battle against AIDS as a ‘long-term war’, requesting the doubling of China’s $12.5 million AIDS fund.
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome Support Group LovingSource
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, known as ‘aizibing’, or the ‘loving capitalism disease’ was first reported in 1985 in China. Wan Yanhai is the director of the country’s first AIDS awareness group, called Aizhixing Institute of Health
Education. He has set up an unprecedented HIV/AIDS telephone hotline in China, where people can get information on the
disease; made efforts in organizing a public forum on AIDS and an AIDS awareness workshop, Blood Safety, AIDS, and Legal Human Rights, which he was forced to cancel. For Wan Yanhai’s AIDS awareness efforts he had been fired from a public health official post, picked up by police after attending a film screening at a Beijing gay and lesbian film festival, charged with leaking government internal report on a scandal in Henan province, and several times detained. He has fled to America, citing government persecution. In July 2000, Hu Jia and Wan Yanhai met. Hu Jia, then became involved in AIDS prevention work. He is one of the founders of the non-profit, non-governmental AIDS awareness group LovingSource. Beijing LovingSource Information Center or LovingSource was founded in April, 2004 and situated in Tongzhou District, Beijing. It has partnered with AIDS Relief Fund for China, UNICEF, Oxfam (Hong Kong), China AIDS Fund, Global Fund for Children, The Global Fund, Clinton Foundation, Sunshine Doctor Programme, Global Environment Institute, Huaqiao Foundation, Aixin Foundation, Chinese Association of STD & AIDS Prevention and Control Epidemiology Section, and Wuhan Zhongnan Hospital. Its mission statement is about integrating programs meant to provide care, education, and education to adults and children affected with AIDS in China’s rural communities, improve the quality of life of people with HIV/AIDS, and promote an environment conducive to the upbringing of children affected by AIDS. Its goal is health for each and everyone, thus protecting and promoting individual and general human dignity.
Beijing LovingSource Information Center AIDS Support Projects
Among LovingSource’s projects were the Aiyuan Newsletter, an information resource on the AIDS epidemic trend and relief
efforts in China and the programs, work, and measures established and taken by LovingSource. It also served as a support newsletter platform for volunteers in AIDS awareness and relief efforts to share their experiences; Rural Cooperative Project, which offered technical training and cultivated self-help livelihood programs among those affected by AIDS; Emergency Fund, which was supported by the AIDS Relief Fund for China, provided emergency funds and covered medical and funeral costs; Bursaries for Students From AIDS-affected Families, which helped AIDS-affected families’ children complete the obligatory nine-year education; Care for HIV-carrier Children, jointly funded by the World Children’s Fund, UNICEF, and the Clinton Foundation, encouraged rapport among health care providers, guardians, and children with HIV; Drug Compliance Education, in collaboration with Sunshine Doctor Program, held monthly joint consultations among medical health experts and local health doctors to establish efficient and effective treatment plans and work out difficult cases, thereby reducing AIDS-related death; the Rural Adolescence Education Program, which educated teenagers in areas with a high incidence of AIDS on sex and social and coping skills to prevent and better deal with AIDS; and the Pen-Pal Club. LovingSource selected university student volunteers to act as family members or surrogates to children from rural AIDS families through regular correspondence, phone calls, and home visits.
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome Support Group LovingSource Shuts Down
China is struggling to control activism and the emergence of grass-roots groups and organizations in its territory, against which it is strong to prevent from veering towards a political stance against the government. Hu Jia’s wife, Zeng Jiyan,
posted on her website that LovingSource is closing down due to pressure from Beijing Tax Bureau, the same authority
responsible for the dissolution in 2009 of legal aid group Gongmeng, which has taken under its wing most of the republic’s
sensitive cases. Gongmeng was fined 1.4 million yuan or $206,000. Beijing Tax Bureau is demanding a comprehensive audit of the AID’s support organization’s accounts. For “”inciting subversion of state power and the socialist system”, Hu Jia has
been in prison since his sentencing on April 3, 2008.

To Write Love On Her Arms
To Write Love On Her Arms
September 10 to 17 is considered To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA) week, but some observe it on November 13. Jamie Tworkowski founded the American non-profit support organization, To Write Love on Her Arms in March 2006. He conceived the idea of a support group for people suffering from addiction, depression, self-injury, and suicidal ideation after a closed, direct, and personal experience and involvement with a person, then 19-year-old Renee Yohe, suffering from addiction, depression, and self-mutilation. Brought to a treatment center after loading her system with cocaine, marijuana, pills, and alcohol and carving the word, ‘Fuck Up’, on her arms, the nurse refused to admit her, saying she’s too great a risk. In February 2006 he wrote about Renee’s five-day struggle before entering rehabilitation.
Addiction, Depression, Self-Mutilation, and Suicide
Addiction, substance or behavior, is a psychological chronic disease characterized by the person seeking reward an/or relief from substance use and behavior despite its harmful consequences and effects on the overall well-being of the person. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders has 12 classifications of substance dependence. Compulsions a person engages in despite resulting to his or her harm are considered behavioral addictions, such as compulsive sex, gambling, eating, watching pornography, shopping, and working.
Major Depressive Disorder, also known as Recurrent Depressive Disorder, Clinical Depression, Major Depression, Unipolar
Depression, or Unipolar Disorder, is a mental disorder wherein the person experiences a pervading low mood, low-self-esteem, and lack of interest or pleasure from activities previously enjoyed. According to the World Health Organization, 121 million of the global population suffers from depression, 18 million of which is in America. Two/thirds of people suffering from depression do not seek treatment. The National Institute of Mental Health cites untreated depression as the leading cause of death among teenagers.
Self-mutilation, or Deliberate Self-Harm/Self Harm is the intentional injuring of body tissues by cutting, burning, picking
or interfering with wound healing, punching or hitting self or objects, inserting objects into skin, bruising or breaking
bones, infecting oneself, and poisoning without intent of killing oneself. Self-harm may be a person’s way of coping thru
emotional discomfort or pain, seeking attention, or escaping or dissociating from responsibilities. Although it is not
attempted suicide, self-harm can be life threatening.
Suicide is estimated by the World Health Organization to be the thirteenth worldwide leading cause of death, especially
among teenagers and adults under 35. More than one million people kill themselves annually while ten to twenty million
people attempt suicide. Suicide is usually a desperate measure by individuals who cannot cope with their problems. It is
also associated with the mental disorders, depression, alcoholism, substance abuse, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.
To Write Love on Her Arms
To Write Love on Her Arms is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, based in Cocoa, Florida, which started operating in
October 2006, under Fireproof Ministries. A 501-c organization is an American non-profit association or corporation, which
is not required by the government to pay federal income taxes. To Write Love on Her Arms is specifically classified as a 501 c-3 organization (Religious, Educational, Charitable, Scientific, Literary, Testing for Public Safety, to Foster National or International Amateur Sports Competition, or Prevention of Cruelty to Children or Animals Organizations).
‘Love is the Movement’, ‘Rescue is Possible’, and ‘Stop the Bleeding’ are its motto. Since 2006 it is dedicated to helping people suffering from addiction, depression, self-mutilation, and suicidal ideation. It reaches out to such people, thereby, encouraging them to emerge from self-alienation and isolation and eventually to seek treatment for the underlying affective disorder and its myriad manifestations. It flowered from Jamie Tworkowski’s participation in the treatment of Renee Yohe in 2006. To finance Renee’s drug rehabilitation, he helped sell T-shirts printed with TWLOHA slogans in Orlando and created a MySpace page for the endeavor. The MySpace page received tons of friend requests and messages of thanks, sympathy, and empathy through posts sharing personal problems. TWLOHA has collaborated with Kristin Brooks Hope Center to create the first online crisis counseling thru instant messenger, which is staffed by crisis intervention trained and certified people. TWLOHA has been featured in the ‘Making a Difference’ segment of the NBC Nightly News in September 12, 2008.The CBS Morning News has reported in October 2010 on TWLOHA as a catalyst in preventing ‘The Youngest Suicides’. Musical icons and bands such as Boys Like Girls, OneRepublic, and Joe Foreman of Switchfoot have endorsed and supported TWLOHA.

Learn How To Get Creative With Creative Writing
Writing needs discipline and sitting down everyday by the corner to write.
Writing needs discipline and sitting down everyday by the corner to write.
Writing And The World
As technology progressed, it seems that the world of creative writing has been left waning in the winds. Even the website known as Wired stated that 40% of Americans read at least one book a year. This does not mean writing has lesser opportunities in the world of today. We all love watching movies and playing video games, but guess what? That great story you’re enjoying required a talented writer. There are still many of us who love taking people in a mental journey with our words. We love to paint vivid pictures with a sweet symphony of words, and the next thing you know, a tingle runs down the spine of your reader. That is when you know you have touched your reader’s soul.
Revealing The Secret Of Writing
There is a secret to becoming a great writer. That secret is to just write! It may seem tough when you open that writing program on your computer or you’re writing on paper, all of a sudden you have a white void staring back at you. You must not write with your mind. You must live in the now when you write and let your feelings just bleed out onto that canvas. Then when you proofread your writing that is when you use your head. The next thing you know you have painted a Mona Lisa with your words. Writing is tough at first, but as you keep doing it, you will become a Da Vinci of text in no time. You can only learn how to write if you know how to read. Listening to another writer’s voice can help you find your own voice. This also allows you to learn from masters directly. Writing requires listening to your soul, and when you read, you are reading another person’s soul.
Painting It By Words
There are lots of tips that can enhance your writing, even if you are already a talented writer. One of the things that helps make a talented writer is their ability to paint a picture with their words. The best way to do this is with descriptions. The website known as Essortment has some very good exercises for this. They said that you should take a broad word like “beautiful” and try to write out things that mean the same but invokes a different feeling. It is all about choosing the right words to spice up your masterpiece. But be aware that there is such a thing as too much of a good thing, having too many words can overload the reader’s mind. Sometimes broad words work just as well. It is up to you to decide when to use these words. That kind of calibration only comes with experience.
