It's quite unfortunate that Jennipher has closed her profile, not only was she very gracious in her manner, she express good humor, and interesting subject material, she shared pictures that denote beauty, but she was not of any egotistical arrogance behind the image of her physical self.
She shows great regard for her mother and father, which conveys a positive connectivity and flow. As she continues to seek means to be of good cheer as herself and good will in her aims to be herself.
What is beauty springs from within, and amplifies the external charm.
Early posting, when she worked for the manufacturer, showed that she has moments of blunt speak, and blunt thoughts, but she does self reflections to consider her actions, and make adjustments to improve her ways of being self.
These are simply things observed within a blog, there is the whole person, that is unknown in full to me, but what she has presented, Shows a broad spectrum of appreciative character.
She can be witty and sensual, she can be funny and playful about the reality of sexuality, and remain, with her ways to put a smile that comes through in her post. she has a curious mind, that seeks out information and engages a large spectrum of subject material.
Quite a Refreshing Spirit of person and individual.
quite interesting 
I'm amazed that Google images does not feature her in their image collection.
Hopefully she will have herself a custom Web Page designed, to feature some of her images.

Being President While Black
by Gerald A. McIntosh
I don't think anyone was under some real illusion that the election of Barack Obama actually meant the end of racism in America . I'm pretty sure that the president-elect knew it better than anyone. After all, he saw it every day, from the moment he announced his candidacy. To some degree, he saw it within his own party during the primaries. And he saw it in all ugliness during the general election. For half of this country, he was "That One". No matter how big and clear his victory was. No matter how smart he is. No matter how decent he is. No matter what a true patriot he is. No matter how optimistic and positive his vision for America was. All that didn't matter. Because at the end of the day, he was still black.
I'm quite old. I remember, vaguely, where my parents were on November 22, 1963. I've seen so many presidents. Some were feared, some were hated, some were adored, some popular and some not. But all of them, without exception, were treated with the highest respect deserving the office of the president of the United States .
That is until a black man won the right to occupy this office. It's been 13 months now, and in the eyes of so many, Barack Obama is still that one. He is being disrespected and at the same time being held to the highest standard of any president I've ever seen – and not just by the Republican side! He has to performm three times better than any president in history, and even that may not be enough.
For the media, he is many more times just "Obama" than "President Obama". They create scandals out of nothing issues. It took them at least 6 years to start giving Bush a small part of the sh-t he deserved. It took them 6 months to begin crap all over Obama because he's yet to fix the catastrophe that was left for him.
They use condescending tones when they talk about him, and only mildly less condescending when they talk TO him. With anyone else, CNN wouldn't dare go to commercials every time the president speaks, like they did during that summit on Thursday. They wouldn't dare be counting how many minutes George Bush or Bill Clinton were talking. Chris Mathews wouldn't dare make an issue out of Ronald Regan calling members of congress by their first name, like he is not actually the president. They fully cooperate with the Right-Wing smear machine when it comes to president Obama's national security performance – even if almost every independent and military expert actually thinks that he's a terrific Commander-in-Chief. You'll never see them on TV, and virtually no one from the Left, in congress and outside, defend the president on this matter.
I don't care about the Far-Right. They're just crazy ignorant Neanderthals. It's the way the beltway and the mainstream treats this president that is shocking. On Thursday, almost every Republican had no trouble interrupting him in the middle of a sentence. They looked like they're going to vomit every time they had to say "Mr. president". They all had this Eric-Cantor-Smirk whenever he spoke. Then they went out and started to spit their stupid talking points, to the delight of the media. Sarah Palin, a woman who can hardly read, thinks that he was "arrogant" towards John McCain, and somehow this is an important news. Because you see, "Obama's Arrogance" is the talking point of the day.
Oh, those talking points. He is arrogant (because he knows the facts better than all of them combined). He is an elitist (because he uses big words that they don't understand). He is weak on national security (because he actually thinks about the consequences). He divides the country (well, he did that the day he had the audacity to win the election). Worst of all, he actually thinks that he's the president. He even dared to say so on Thursday. How arrogant of him. You'd think that previous presidents didn't have any ego. Somehow it turned out that the one president who treats even his biggest opponents with the utmost respect – is the arrogant one. I wonder why?<
I expected that his winning the Presidency would bring out some ugliness, but it's been far worse than I imagined. The racism coming from the Right is obviously clear and shameless, but there's also some hidden and maybe subconscious and disturbing underline tone behind some of the things that I read here and throughout the Left blogosphere, even before the end of Obama's first year - 'He's weak, he's spineless, he's got no balls, primary him in 2012'. It'll be dishonest to deny that.
The fact is that for millions in America , Barack Obama is this uppity black man (Not even a "real" black), who received good education only due to affirmative action, and has no right to litter the sacred Oval Office with his skin color. They just can't accept the fact that the president is a black man, who unlike his predecessor, was actually legally elected. But what's really sad is that it's not just the fringe, its deep deep in mainstream America .
President Obama's ability to remain above all this slob, to keep his optimism and his strange and mostly unjustified faith in people, while continuing to gracefully deal with an endless shitstorm – is one of the most inspiring displayss of human quality I have ever seen. And I can only hope that the Cosmos is on his side because God is and He never makes a mistake.

what an amazing display of expression.. he not only expressed the words, he did so with the stanza flow that understands and conveys the inferences in what he speaks.
the video shows, that in his eyes and the body language of his presentations. He understands what he is saying.
His voice and diction has the inflections which emphasis the meaning, is being individualized with vocal expression.
The beauty of human capacity
The mind,body and spirit of the human being is astounding
if and as we, as progressive people unconstrained the youth, and give them the ability to be expressive, without trying to force them into remedial antic's, which convey a dis-regard for their mental capabilities.
We try and regulate so much, by old idioms of delusion that the young mind is less than what it is. but time is showing that it is far more capable than we as a society give it respectful regard for being what it is. We by process and folklore followings, not only constrain but, contain to inhibit, by many assorted illusions of dis-regard.
Far too many people, think the antics of assuming what a can't understands, will make their young person remain a for eternity, until the parents wants to accept they are a distinct human being.
Everyday, people are learning the capabilities of the human being, we have young people under 5 playing music, reading, and doing match, they sings, they dance, they do many things people under-estimate their capability to do.
We have pre teens and teens, who are more skilled at computer programming and creative development, than some people who claim a PhD, and we have young people who understand science and technology, far more deeply, than some claimed scholars, purported experts, and signifying denotation as professionals and students alike, who hail in colleges, industry and institutes of all sorts and types, across the nation.
Some of whom have been managed and measured and contained in how they develop, as well as push delusional models, for others, to contain themselves, into a constricting format of diminishing compensations, designed to exalt self or others by title or claim of status, at the expense of many.
This has constrained not only their learning, but the methods of how they learn. Some even have their learning diminished by the multitude of parents, preaching what they assume the can't learn, because the parent themselves, has no awareness of what can be learned. Or the capability of the human mind.
We act surprised, to see young , know to call 911, or to do many simple things, which their mind has been under estimated to be capable of.
This continues in our ways of abusing the youth, by our omission to understand, the capability of the human mind, and to respect its expanse of function, as well as to grow beyond the mentality to contain the human experience by our assumptions of limitation based on age, the social ignorance of the human potential looks for vanity ignorance to give an uplift where they have failed in the natural regard for the human being. Such foolishness as ethnicity bias and bigotry, to monetary vain measure, to the shape of faces and butts has produced a society that is in many ways ignorant of itself.
Social Status, the greed and laziness of one human beings, that seeks to gain by the use other human beings, for self vanity, breeds every kind of ignorance, the human element is composed to present, under present day grooming methodology.
Unfortunately, every other delusion that mankind has conjured to support vain self glory, and embellish foolish pride, has become, the methodology of social dysfunction, thus engaged by every act and actions the idioms put forth of accustom activity's to invoke such human disregard..
Of a society that has known, repressive mentality as a standard format, from the subjugation of person, to the perils of condescending assessments based on any array of natural attributes.
All, in the thirst of mankind to presume a faux superiority, based on many characteristic, which has proven with time and life, to be a fallacy built by the greed's and vanity of the human condition of frailty, insecurity and haughtiness of self delusion.
Thus, causing mankind to disrespect the human potential and capability within the human experience.

Human Potential is unknowable
/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
"Human Potential and You as the Possible Human" was written, by Transpersonal Lifestreams, Hobart, Tasmania.
What you know is limited by what you have been taught, and what you may believe. Maybe, you cannot yet see the depth of the possibilities .. but that is what this site is all about.
Your Human Potential is unlimited
This is not as an idea or thought of your mind, but as the expression of something that is consciously, to most, unknown ... but yet remains unconsciously at the your being, niggling away at you trying to keep you alive through your mind's struggle to stay alive. This is the Seeker that is Seeking you.
In reality, this web site is all about you and, who and what separates you from the potential of what you might become. Your ability to live that potential to its fullest is not something to learn, but a life skill that can be developed.
The Ocean of Consciousness is like a big pool that everyone is swimming in, even though they may be standing on the shore, tentatively dipping their toe to test the temperature of the water, all of the time on the watch for a tidal wave or someone that is going to push them all the way in.
There are, in reality, no separate paths to the Ocean, for the Ocean itself is all embracing. Different people have different experiences and beliefs. Different people see different scenery. Yet, all are valid because the Ocean is, itself, made up from all experiences, all belief, all scenery and all sensory perceptions.
This statement, in itself, can be (for many) beyond the mind's comprehension .. yet it is the essence of every spiritual myth and behind every religious doctrine.
Like the snake that follows its tail, every path eventually leads back to the Ocean. Like the meaning of the word Tantra, for anything to exist in our perception there has to be two sides to every coin ... every cloth has both a weft and a weave. The masculine and feminine are the two opposite polarities which exists within all separation from all potential.
Have you ever noticed a learning to swim ... when they cease to struggle and overcome the parent's worst projections for their 's safety, they float quite effortlessly ... which is quite logical since the human body is 90% water.
Learning how to Learn- unfolds many elements of understandings gifts.

Modern society has become the new, disguised jungle
/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
""Behavior, Patterns and Conditioning - Pain, Crisis and Evolution" was written, by Transpersonal Lifestreams, Hobart, Tasmania.
Modern society has become the new, disguised jungle.
Man has been reduced, in his own eyes, from 'the semblance of God' to a progressive Darwinian ape, with no better incentives than those that an ape has learned, to use his hands and to read and write.
Our view of Man and existence has disintegrated Life into a sequence of dissociated experiences. It is the common belief that Man has no destiny any more, nor even a fate. For most, the purpose of Life has been lost, and Man spends all of his time here on Earth killing himself trying to avoid death. He is in the victim of society, the system and the law of accidents which he has created.
Consequently, a system of conscious and unconscious beliefs has been developed which sees that:
* Love has degenerated, from the time of Freud onwards, to a cover-up myth for sexuality which has become nothing more than the psychological superstructure and justification for glandular processes.
* Sex has lost its meaning from the sacred act of communion and procreation to become a tool, a weapon and an act of avoidance.
* Work has been debunked from its once exalted view as a worship to the sacredness of life, to the point where it is considered a horrifying degrading enslavement by exploiters and a means of acquisition to satisfy self imposed needs. Lack of work has come to mean a lack of purpose and a social stigma.
* Morality has been transformed from a sacred link between an external God and Man to a social convention system to be taken as a pretence in order that we shall adjust and conform to society structures.
* Life therefore, is a drag through detested work, in which escape to pleasures, also without meaning, sometimes offers temporary relief, unless, of course, the pursuit of pleasure and leisure has become a competition, as is so often the case.
* Loneliness is the fundamental mode of address of one Man to another, and emotional distance is his attitude towards everything end everybody else. Even in the company of others, the individual finds loneliness within his or her own self.
* Death, finally, has become the total annihilation of all hopes fears and experiences, the point in time where Man finally comes to meet the nothingness in which he has lived all along. A pointless, accidental death is the end of the existence of a piece of flesh, a compound of chemicals in which all of its reactions and responses disintegrate with the chemicals comprising it. Yet the unconscious mind fears Death more than anything else.
We spend our lives killing ourselves in the pursuit
of a means of avoiding the death we fear most!

Does a man’s salary matter?
By Amanda May
These days, women are about as likely to bring home the bacon as their male counterparts. But has this affected what kind of guy women want to date — is the size of a man’s salary still a critical element?
To get the answer, we gathered together a group of men, women and relationship experts to talk about this controversial topic — and get some advice on how to handle the situation whether you’re a male or female, flush with cash or just getting by.
Participating in our roundtable:
Jillian Straus, author of Unhooked Generation: The Truth About Why We’re Still Single
Liz Kelly, author of Smart Man Hunting: A Fast-Track Dating Guide for Finding Mr. Right
Jen, 25, legal recruiter, New York
Haley, 32, public relations director, California
Rebecca, 30, writer, Kansas
Sebastian, 30, consultant and founder of a non-profit, New York
Dann, 30, TV news producer, New York
[comments in "Red", added by me]
Q: Even in a day when women often out-earn men, do they still prefer to date a guy with a sizable paycheck?
Jillian Straus: I’m often astonished to overhear conversations at restaurants where a woman will ask her girlfriend, “Does he make money?” Women often want a more successful man, even if they’re successful themselves — one study found that successful women want to be with a successful man even more so than their less successful counterparts.
Dann: There are definitely a lot of women who keep an eye on the man’s wallet. That’s why you see some women perk up when a man says he’s a doctor or a lawyer. And if he’s a hot doctor or lawyer, forget about it!
Haley: It’s not that I couldn’t fall in love with someone who made less money than I do, but it would be difficult. I want to settle down with someone who can take care of me and support a family. { 'what happen to sharing" }
Rebecca: money has never been a consideration for me. Can someone make me happy, make me laugh, and carry on an intellectually stimulating conversation? I think about those things first and money much, much later. { if men had looked for women with money, there would have been fewer relationships }
Q: So why do some women still think the size of a man’s salary is still important, even if they’re making money themselves?
Jillian Straus: We are psychologically living between today, which is the modern world, and what we saw growing up, which influenced how we define the roles and behaviors of “man” and “woman.” And in some cases, women want the choice of whether or not to stay home and raise . In other cases, women don’t mind earning more money, but think the men they’re with would feel diminished by that. I heard one story where a woman was making more than her guy, and the day she came home with a Porsche was the day the relationship was over. { she can buy what ever she wants to buy}
Liz Kelly: For a woman who’s on a limited budget and feels strapped, it’s scary to take on someone who’s making significantly less money. That pressure can create an imbalance in the relationship which can make people — both men and women — feel uncomfortable. { learn to work together, or set a price on yourself}
Haley: My current boyfriend pays for everything and I think I make more than he does, but I like it that way because it feels romantic, caring and chivalrous. Dating a man without money is really tough because you end up paying for everything and that wears on you after awhile. [ men should feel the same way if he is always paying }
Q: The upsides to dating a man with money are pretty obvious — but are there any downsides?
Jillian Strauss: There’s an old saying that goes, “If you marry for money, you earn every penny.” { there's all kind of hookers, both short term, and long term}
Jen: I’ve dated men with money and without and have often found that guys with money have an overwhelming sense of entitlement. You’re never that special to them because they think they can get any woman they want. Now I’m trying to find someone in the middle: Someone with a decent income but who is a nice guy.
{ it should only matter if you want to love the person or not, not whether they have money or not- if the two can't work together, then they should not be together}
Q: So what do men think about women who consider money to be a priority?
Sebastian: I once met a woman who seemed more interested in my sports car than in me. Even so, in my mind there’s nothing wrong with wanting to live well. { living well as a couple, should be a mutual contributory situation}
Dann: I don’t think it’s any worse than men pursuing only women who are really physically attractive. But I do think anyone who does that is shallow. That said, it’s frustrating not having a lot of money because it means that you can’t do nice things to impress someone you love. You need to be resourceful — bargain hunt for good gifts or plan a date around renting a movie. { why is the relationship based on what he give her, just for showing up, they both should be givers, or they should quote expectation up front}
Liz Kelly: Lots of guys with money will complain to me that they don’t want to always pay for dates because they want to make sure that the woman is with them for who they are, not for how much they earn. But I agree with Dann: It’s the romance and chivalry that women want — not the free meal. { Chivalry, really only means the man is giving the woman something, but it does not imply that she is sharing anything, beyond her presence}
Q: So what should a man do if he doesn’t make much money?
Rebecca: I don’t feel like I need my boyfriend to spend a lot of money on me to show me that he loves me. He does that in a million little ways, like always filling my car with gas or leaving me cute little notes around the house. [ seems no matter how it goes the expectations of some collateral things, always seem to creep in }
Liz Kelly: Guys without money to burn need to work a little harder, that’s all. Small gestures, like burning a CD of your favorite music, go a long way towards making a woman feel special. Guys should also pay for dates early on. Career women are happy to pick up the tab when dating someone seriously, but in the early stages of dating, the guy should get the tab. It sets the stage for building a stronger relationship. { if his money sets the stage of the relationship, he would be smart to 'exit the stage" QUICKLY }
Jillian Straus: I agree that there’s still value in symbolic gestures, like being taken out to a nice dinner. It doesn’t mean that I’m not a modern woman, it’s just that I really value the symbolic exchange — it makes a woman feel adored. { if him giving her stuff is the only way that she feels adored, he is in for a hell of a nightmare, the minute he does not spend money on her }
Jen: Even if you have a lot of money, you still need to be romantic. If all you do is flash your money around, you’ll only attract opportunists. [ anyone expecting something from the other, before they can be romantic is an opportunist anyway}
Q: Any advice for women?
Dann: In general, a woman should ignore finances and pick the guy who makes her laugh. All the money in the world won’t matter if sitting across the dinner table from this guy night after night bores you to tears. [ material and monetary minded women, are simply not this rational - there are more guys who have smiling women on Pay day, and when the money is gone, he has to look at the prune face. The people who learn to share and expect less, and contribute what they have to make a good relationship, will probably build a good relationship }
(end)
_____________________________________________________
both people should work to earn what they want.. being in a relationship, should not relieve a woman nor a man, from having to earn and contribute to the lives shared. If they believe as they claim, that love is free, and that sharing makes the relationship.. then why the imbalance about who makes more money?
it should not matter. but if it matters, then people whom it matters to, maybe should discuss it and choose each other, and those it does not matter unto, will find their peace in who they share
quite amazing, this article has said nothing about what the woman gives, other than showing up, and passing judgments about the mans earning.
Maybe in such " and John" scenarios, they get what they deserve, for playing that role, and trying to call it something other than what it is.
No wonder people make such terrible relationships, the ", , , and john, sequence, simply seems to be in a multitude of arrangements, and the buy, sell, and barter is what the connection seem to find its basis.
Funny thing is, a man can go and buy a , for cash, and she will laugh and share and do and be there, as long as the cash keeps coming. and most of the relationships today, seem to be no different. If one has to pay, then why make a once sided agreement, and claim marriage, when its cheaper to pay cash as you go, and not have to deal with the dictation mentality, as well as the continual up and down attitude based on what he pays, when he pays and how much he pays.
a man can find the pretentious of niceness from any , call girls, or what ever type of prostituting scenario that exist, and not only can he get the niceness, they will come out of the woodwork to be and pretend with such demeanor, as long as a pay day is within the scenario.
Fortunately, there are men, who actually do find women who do not measure him by money, and those men, seem to have enduring relationships with woman. There are women, who don't make an issue about her earnings, nor do they have reluctance to contribute what ever into the relationships, even if she pays more expenses, she is in it to be 'together", not to be bought, not is she selling him a bill of goods.
today, women ride on the illusion of a degree, and what kind of clothes she can buy, and what kind of status she can claim, and those are less likely to have functioning relationships based on loving anything, but her title and her money. We see more and more of those types, who have no family interest, not do they have any kind of concern about having , and the volume of such is greatly increasing.
But there are still lots of women, who take her jobs as simply having a job, and they value the relationship they can share, more than the status chases, and the title illusions.
I worked with a woman, whom got a few promotions, soon as she did, she began to badger her husband, nothing he did was good enough, and she suddenly even began to complain about his hobbies, and everything about him. then she lost her job, and had to rely on him to cover expense. he never wavered, he paid, and he urged her to go back and take more classes, and he even got a second job, to help pay for it.
Through it all, she finally realized, that not only was he solid in being whom he is, she then realized, that he paid her way, long before she was on the promotion track, and she realized that she was with him, long before her status search got the best of her, and she learned, not only to share, but to respect the work he did. they had broken up when she was on her status mission, as she complained about his type of work, and she complained about everything he did, and even complained about the conversations they had. She started to chase the suit wearers, and then when she got burned, and all came tumbling down. then she began to see her man as a human beings, and began to be more respectful of the fact of his non glamorous work, as being work, he engaged and maintained as a job.
She even began to realize, that he never stopped caring and taking care of things for her , which was not his by birth, and he treated his own birth no different than he treated her by a previous man, with the same love and considerations.
Now she respect the fact that he did not leave her when she was on this ego status mission, and he did not fall apart behind all her puts downs, and insults about his work, and his earnings.
but many women, don't have the character to wake up. they just bounce from one chase of status and material pursuits to another. and many badger and some even attack the man with such fierce assault mentality, they run him away.
During this woman's cycle of status chase, it got so bad, that her Husband would go to church at Sunday evening service, and she would go on the morning, to keep the peace.
Now, that this cycle has gone full circle, she not only respects him, but she appreciates him, and she now earns more than he does, but she does not complain. His job had cut his hours temp. and she did not complain, now he is back to full hours, and has seniority in his position, She does not complain about, contributing, and she likes now to not just shop for herself, but she is now more open to look for things, to give him as gifts and take him out and many things. it took all that for her to learn to be a sharing human being, rather than one of the hook and expect females. they recently bought a new house, and she does not trip when he purchases things that he enjoys.
Some times, men have to let her go through her selfish delusion of thinking she is everything, and thinking that he owes her something for her presence. some endure and make it, but many don't.
____________________________________________________________
what does it matter who makes the most money, one can only enjoy so many things, and money will be here when they are dead and gone, But today, there are so many women who earn, claim they can't find anyone, but they are never willing nor concerned to look at their own ego and arrogance and selfish consumption with themselves, to realize, many times they are their own problem.
many women can't even get along with other women, for the ego measurement they engage, the delusion that the clothes make them better than another woman, and those who ride the degree , become many times even more self elating in their status delusion.
What I see here, in the community where people are more religious based, is they seek a higher value point about their lives, than basing it on purely material equations.
They seem to enjoy the simple things, more than just pursing status elation. It does not mean they don't like nice things, or to go to nice places, but they seem to be more sharing with their mate. And less willing to throw their relationships away, just because the man makes less, or does not have a certain measure of disposable income.
I look at the women at the office, they seem to talk more about what they share with their husbands, not about what he gives her. I see these men come to the office, they seem not only happy with their relationship, they take out the time to come and see their wives, and many of the wives meet their husbands for lunch.

WASHINGTON – Regulators on Friday shut down a big community bank based in Chicago that has been known for its social activism but racked by financial troubles in recent months. A consortium funded by several of the biggest U.S. financial firms is buying its assets and pledging to operate the new bank by the same principles.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. took over ShoreBank, with $2.16 billion in assets and $1.54 billion in deposits. Urban Partnership Bank, the newly chartered financial institution, agreed to assume ShoreBank's deposits and nearly all its assets.
The FDIC also seized seven other banks Friday, bringing to 118 the number of U.S. bank failures this year amid the recession and mounting loan defaults.

Eventually, the poor management, the swindle mentality will continue to reveal itself.. the change is fast approaching, many that bought the delusion and fell for the illusion, continue to get ripped by that same circle that took down a nation.
Good thing, we have a President who has and will continue to push for regulatory controls. otherwise left to the system that destroyed the economy, they would simply continue with the delusion of feeling entitled to do so.
The rest of the world marches on, and the work yet to be done in this nation is well under way.
next, its time to go again after the medical industry, or the swindle mentality will further decimate the nation.
a new turn to a new method has been underway, it is, what is desperately needed, then the people of the nation can began to progress...

Baby's First Doctor Visit
This made me laugh out loud.
I hope it will give you a smile!
A woman and a baby were in the doctor's examining room, waiting for the doctor to come in for the baby's first exam.
The doctor arrived, and examined the baby, checked his weight, and being a little concerned, asked if the baby was breast-fed or bottle-fed.
'Breast-fed,' she replied..
'Well, strip down to your waist,' the doctor ordered.
She did. He pinched her nipples, pressed, kneaded, and rubbed both breasts for a while in a very professional and detailed examination.
Motioning to her to get dressed, the doctor said, 'No wonder this baby is underweight. You don't have any milk.'
I know,' she said, 'I'm his Grandma,
But I'm glad I came.

Over the years, it appears the continual rise of industry in Vietnam, may prove to be more interesting as the years roll along. Not only the industrial growth, but as more people build more things, and their cities becomes stronger, and expand to the rural areas with growth, this should bring many social reforms as well.
Money has a way of forcing liberalization, it always comes via the wealthy in the city first, and the more wealth they gain, the more autonomy they seek, and the more liberal, they; as a collective, push to gain.
They become to want to do more and, pursue more things, This forces the system to change and open even more for the over-all.
Unfortunately the poor sections always are the last to get the grace of this openness, but they become more free to move about and go where there is more options and more opportunity.
The warm and hot weather, the pretty women, and the hard work of the men as well.. will continue to push them to become more progressive.
It will soon learn ways to work with the pursuit to challenge corruptions, but with such fast growth, corruptions at present is a mainstay, because the Money moves things faster than policy, so corruption will be there for quite a while.
All location that have fast growth, has corruption, and without the corruption, the growth may get bogged down in policy, but when Money force policy to agree to things, it may stall out in red tape, then Money makes the red tape disappear, and corruption oils the wheels, and building moves ahead.
Well time will tell many things... The labor rich region, between Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. The very long coast line of Vietnam is the long sough after asset which faces the South China Sea, is connected to China by Hanoi, is a simple trade pathway for China to invest, as well as every Western Country.
No longer is the wars based on bullets, but economics and the challenge to gain the economic foothold. Laos, is destined to become an industrial production center, because it is land locked, and Cambodia is over 3/4 land locked, so these will become production and other forms of industrial centers, as they are easy to deal with in an industrial sense.
I do think Thailand will become a big winner in the over-all, because Thailand has always had good diplomatic global relationships, it's biggest challenges is the rebels, and pushing it government to be more Western styled in how it handles its internal development of social and economic management.
The strategic important of Vietnam, was and is and always has been eyed by global entities. Which, many countries have waged their wars there, trying to get power. But the resilience of the people, and their heritage has always won out, even under oppressive regimens, they have retained their own claim to their own land.
It took such means, to hold on and not become over taken by either side that created the fighting, trying to gain dominance. Today, they have arrived to still be - Vietnam.

China is using 100's of years of Gained Wisdom

During the ‘cold war,’ a term used to describe the tension between communist and capitalist countries that lasted from 1947 to 1991, one of the fears was a military conflict between Russia or China and the U.S.
It didn’t happen. The potential of a military war instead morphed into an economic war.
The U.S. was winning hands down for a long time, but not so much anymore. It used to be that the U.S. was number one in pretty much everything: education, technology, standard of living, economic and military strength, admired world leadership. It was leading the rest of the world into the future with the demonstrative power of democracy and free markets, new technological breakthroughs in automation, computers, communications, energy, medicine, space travel, to name a few.
In recent years, a number of countries have surpassed the U.S. in specific areas, including consumer incomes, standard of living, and health care. The true economic powerhouse, however, has been China. Some of the statistics, and the speed with which they have changed, have been startling.
Over the last ten years China’s economy has surged past those of Canada, Spain, Brazil, Italy, France, and Germany, and is expected to pass Japan this year, to become the second largest economy in the world, behind the U.S.
Whether it’s manufacturing efficiency, high-speed rail-line technology, nuclear power plant construction, clean air energy technology, education, China is making impressive global inroads, even in areas where the U.S. still has significant dominance. Much of it has to do with China’s massive population, about which the U.S. can do nothing.
For instance, while U.S. Internet companies dominate global headlines, China now has the world’s largest internet market as measured by the number of users. Yet internet use has only penetrated 22 percent of the population versus 75 percent in the U.S. Meanwhile, U.S. Internet giants like Google, Yahoo, eBay, Amazon, Facebook and Expedia are experiencing problems trying to transport their dominance into the Chinese market. Part of it is obstacles placed in their way by China’s government, in support of China’s state-controlled corporations. The result is Chinese internet companies like Tencent, and Baidu, cannot help but become world leaders.
Here’s a statistic of more importance. U.S. universities will graduate 150,000 engineering students this year, while Chinese universities will graduate more than 500,000. I’ve had people tell me that’s an unfair comparison since China’s population is larger by approximately the same ratio. But that’s not the issue. The issue is the degree to which China has moved higher education to the top of its priorities, and the fact that 500,000 new engineers a year will probably come up with more high-tech innovations than 150,000 can.
China’s great leap forward has been going through the same phases the early U.S. experienced as it worked toward becoming the world’s dominant economy.
When we criticize China for the treatment of its underpaid and overworked labor force we sometimes forget that in the early years the U.S. also exploited its workers, even utilizing minorities and labor in 14 hour days in garment, textile, and shoe factories, coal mines and crop fields, which gave the country its initial low-cost jump start economically.
It appears China is beginning to exit that phase and enter the next, of treating its workers better. In the past year Chinese workers have been allowed to form unions and strike for higher wages and shorter hours at various auto and electronics plants.
The west would probably like to think that is due to the pressure put on China to improve human rights. However, China has never shown any inclination to bow to pressure in any area. The fact is that the next phase of China’s economic development must be, as it was in the U.S., to develop a strong domestic economy. To do so it needs to have a more prosperous population of consumers, rather than depending on low cost exports to other countries.
Meanwhile, it can be said that China is eating America’s lunch, never taking its eyes off the goal, while we squabble among ourselves, paying no attention.
That’s unfortunate. As Sam Houston said in the U.S. Senate in 1850, “A nation divided against itself cannot stand.”
Yet, for the last 15 years the U.S. has divided itself in increasingly bitter time and energy-consuming political arguments: the morals of President Clinton, whether or not war should be waged to remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq, whether the country’s current problems are due to the depth of the economic hole dug during the last administration, or ineptness of the current administration in pulling the economy out of the hole.
Meanwhile, China has kept its eye on the goal. It not only is making great economic strides, but on the financial side has become the world’s largest creditor nation, even as the U.S. has become the world’s largest debtor nation, with China holding much of its debt.
The U.S. needs to interrupt its angry divisiveness and name-calling long enough to recognize the portent of what is going on. Unfortunately, in this particularly acrimonious mid-term election year, that is not going to happen.

Female Infants Growing Breasts: Another Disaster From Hormones in Milk Production
People are very upset about this, and for good reason. Female infants in China who have been fed formula have been growing breasts.
According to the official Chinese Daily newspaper, medical tests performed on the babies found levels of estrogens circulating in their bloodstreams that are as high as those found in most adult women. These babies are between four and 15 months old. And the evidence is overwhelming that the milk formula they have been fed is responsible.
Synutra, the company that makes the baby formula consumed by these babies, says it's not their fault. They insist that "no man-made hormones or any illegal substances were added during the production of the milk powder."
Then what is the source of the hormones? A Chinese dairy association says the hormones could have entered the food chain when farmers reared the cows. "Since a regulation forbidding the use of hormones to cultivate livestock has yet to be drawn up in China," says Wang Dingmian, the former chairman of the dairy association in the southern province of Guangdo, "it would be lying to say nobody uses it." Bovine growth hormones are used in China, as they are in the U.S., to promote greater milk production.
An extraordinary number of food products sold in the U.S. today come from China. Could some of this tainted formula be making its way to the U.S.?
There is currently no way for consumers to know whether infant formula they might purchase has been made with milk products from China.
If this problem appears in the U.S., who will be held responsible? The retailers? The importers? The Chinese producers? Will anyone be called to account?
As I describe in my books The Food Revolution and Diet For a New America, and on my website, this isn't the first time something like this has happened. In the 1980s, doctors in Puerto Rico began encountering cases of precocious puberty. There were four-year-old girls with fully developed breasts. There were three-year old girls with pubic hair and vaginal bleeding. There were one-year-old girls who had not yet begun to walk but whose breasts were growing. And it wasn't just the females. were also affected. Many had to have surgery to deal with breasts that had become grossly swollen.
Writing a few years later in the Journal of the Puerto Rico Medical Association, Dr. Carmen A. Saenz explained the cause. "It was clearly observed in 97 percent of the cases that the appearance of abnormal breast tissue was...related to local whole milk in the infants."
The problem was traced, and found to stem from the misuse of hormones in dairy cows. When Dr. Saenz was asked how she could be certain the babies and were contaminated with hormones from milk rather than from some other source, she replied simply: "When we take our young patients off... fresh milk, their symptoms usually regress."
Along with China, the U.S. is today one of the few countries in the world that still allows bovine growth hormones to be injected into dairy cows. Though banned in Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and most of Europe, the use of these hormones in U.S. dairy is not only legal, it's routine in all 50 states.
The U.S. dairy industry assures us that this is not a problem. But there is a very real problem, and its name is Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1). Monsanto's own studies, as well as those of Eli Lilly & Co., have found a 10-fold increase in IGF-1 levels in the milk of cows who have been injected with bovine growth hormone (BGH).
Why is that a problem? A report by the European Commission's authoritative international 16-member scientific committee not only confirmed that excessive levels of IGF-1 are always found in the milk of cows injected with BGH. It also concluded that excess levels of IGF-1 pose serious risks of breast, colon and prostate cancer.
How serious is the increased risk? According to an article in the May 9, 1998 issue of the medical journal The Lancet, women with even a relatively small increase in blood levels of IGF-1 are up to seven times more likely to develop breast cancer than women with lower levels.
IGF-1 that is consumed by human beings in dairy products is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. It isn't destroyed by human digestion. And pasteurization is no help. In fact, the pasteurization process actually increases IGF-1 levels in milk.
What's a consumer to do?
If at all possible, breast-feed your babies, and support breast-feeding friendly workplaces and other environments. It's hard to overstate the health advantages of breast-feeding for both mother and baby. They are enormous, and particularly so today, when the possibility exists that commercially available infant formula could be contaminated with excess hormones.
If you are going to buy dairy products, try to get them from organic sources. Organic milk products by law can't be produced with bovine growth hormone (BGH). Or look for dairy products that specifically say they are produced without BGH (also called recombinant bovine somatotropin, or rBST). Starbucks only uses dairy products that have not been produced with the hormone. Ben & Jerry's ice cream likewise uses only milk and cream from dairy farms that have pledged not to use BGH.
If you're going to eat cheese, remember that American-made cheeses are likely to be contaminated with BGH and excess levels of IGF-1 unless they're organic or labeled BGH-free. Most cheeses that are imported from Europe are safe, though, since much of Europe has banned the hormone.
Have you ever wondered why dairy products made from cows injected with the hormone aren't labeled? It's because Monsanto, the original manufacturer of BGH, has aggressively and successfully lobbied state governments in the past to make sure that no legislation is passed that would require such labeling.
As if that wasn't enough, Monsanto has also insistently sought to make it illegal for dairy products that are BGH-free to say so on their labels, unless the labels also included wording exonerating BGH. How does Monsanto justify such a ban? They say that allowing retailers to tell consumers that a dairy product is BGH-free shouldn't be allowed, even if it's true, because it unfairly stigmatizes BGH.
Monsanto acts as though accurately labeling products would make them the victim of some irrational cultural bias. But the company's products are, in fact, responsible for untold damage to human health.
My compassion is not for Monsanto. My heart goes out to the babies in China and their families, to the in Puerto Rico and their families, and to the millions of others who have been or will be adversely affected by the abuse of hormones in dairy production.

The black bear cub in Florida affectionately known as 'jarhead' can finally enjoy a good meal. The clear plastic container was removed from the 6-month-old cub's head after being stuck for at least 10 days. The cub poked its head into the jar when digging through trash in a neighborhood in central Florida. Biologists say the cub was days away from death because the jar made it impossible to eat or drink.
We may need to be of more care in the things we toss into the environment, problems caused can be beyond our awareness of what challenges it pose. This had to be unreasonably stressful to this young bear, being unaware of how to free itself from this situation.
