Swine flu. The media roll so roll again. The diversity of opinion is radically simplified. A climate of hysteria can be a fear for the mind and makes any objection silenced. In short, it's time again to get suspicious. (more ...)

Bird flu epidemic, flu epidemic Bank, swine flu epidemic. Part 1 (with tongue in cheek)
Thursday 30 April 2009The big question: Choose from the 3 above mentioned terms, that is presented, which represents a real, real, alarming problem worldwide.
The penultimate plague-sow that was driven through the village, was the bird flu 2005/2006. We recall that you had escaped from the Pentagon and was a tremendous victory gallop at around the world. First, the turkey of the Greek farmers on the eastern Aegean island of Dimitris Kominaris Inousses. And on it went in the pig gallop, not stopping them was: migratory birds were lost in chicken battery cages. Probably out of pity, she looked over at her tortured, non-free counterparts - and on we went with the Seuchensau My dear swan! Do you remember? Emergency on complaints: A swan was found dead, but actually in the winter. Please do not kiss! Alert level red!
Million chickens and geese were not so much the alleged H5N1 virus, but also a heartless, merciless, spacious gassing victims. Even rare poultry breeds for hobby breeders thought of the disease and the fighters have come under suspicion of dwarf, semi-and Gurrhühner slaughtered before the eyes of her horrified owner of the night from the spot.
But then: The Miracle: Just in time before the onset of the disease ended the football bird flu! That was close! (more ...)
Adolescent Psychiatry: Ritalin therapy condition
Monday 27 April 2009
Ritalin every day (Source: www.deesillustration.com)
I just spoke with a friend. She is a single mother of two sons and lives in a West German city. She is delicate, more fragile shape, and sometimes beat her things together over your head. She herself is down for occasional anxiety attacks once retired for a few months. Previously, she worked at times in 1-euro jobs, recently put it close to her a full time job, some of what they are pointing at their 15-year sounding youngest son, who still need them urgently refused. Other sanctions could be blocked temporarily the office by their mental illness, but the problem remains with the youngest son.
I admit that I Tommy (name changed) since early childhood he knew and since then a "stone in my board" has. This may be in such irrational things, like the statement he gave to me at the age of about five or six years ago when I told him, "Tommy, I love you." Tommy said then: "itsch Ditsch auck" - he got something in collision with the official pronunciation, but moved well back then in his own logical system. During this time it was that Tommy always a breeze on fruit trees and I climbed eagerly picked fruit -. Clear even then a real Gentle-man (more ...)
Post from Afghanistan
Friday 24 April 2009Yesterday I had a call to an Afghan living in Chicago with my Epost, I decided to translate me: Dr. Mohammed Daud Miraki had obviously still have my email address, because I had ordered some time ago, his book "Afghanistan after Democracy."
Dr. Mirakis book "Afghanistan After Democracy"
I wanted to inform me at the time of first hand what is happening in Afghanistan right: after German troops are there. Dr. Mirakis photo reportage shook me. Then I read the book nor the German Christoph Hörstel Afghanistan connoisseur ( "bomb Afghanistan, the Bundeswehr in Your Eyes" ), which I can recommend only if you want to deal with the matter more closely.

From fat before? London study proves that global warming caused primarily by emissions of thicknesses
Tuesday 21 April 2009Phil Edwards and Ian Roberts, both researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, sounding the alarm bells: the overweight are (directly and indirectly) for global warming, that is for a higher emissions of greenhouse gases (CO 2) responsible, as they are more food and more energy consumption. Corresponding experiments and present measurement results that were collected directly in the digestive tract of thicknesses were to conclude that thickness are characterized not only longer but burp more and farting, and therefore that is directly responsible for the production of harmful, highly toxic greenhouse gas (CO2) is responsible.
The two researchers make the thickness of at least 20% of the resulting highly toxic gases (CO 2) is responsible. The study did, for example, a growing livestock because of a rising demand for meat for 20% of harmful greenhouse gases (CO 2) is responsible, due to the toxic methane (CO 2), which is secreted by cows. Thus, the researchers documented a fatal "Doppler effect": it requires thick meatballs meatballs for more and more thick, which in turn encourages more and more cows to fart. These data were also collected directly in the digestive tract of harmful methane gas producing highly controversial (CO 2) animals. This is one of the researchers before ventured so far that he almost got sucked in a particularly violent Rülpsvorgang a cow in the Wiederkäutrakt. The measured data could be collected only with difficulty after the incident. However, they leave nothing to be desired in clarity. "Unfortunately," said one of the two researchers, who also inspires to reconsider the adverse Kuhhaltung given the devastating results completely. After all, (*) there would be long gas-free alternatives such as soy or rice milk, non-methane gas-charged (CO 2) are. This could provide entirely free of fat and also prevent future problems in lactose digestion and corresponding harmful Gepupse. (more ...)
With baton
Wednesday 15 April 2009The work (losigkeits) with offices in Spain, most recently, uniformed security personnel batons.
The lady in a brown uniform stands with legs apart pre-stretched chest, chin slightly shifted upwards, the boot tops directed outwards, knees pressed both hands on the square buckle. I wonder why this guy is probably the classic gesture that can probably learn if they are trained for such a job?
Oh, sure, because the buckle is also a weapon yes, the hands are placed on the belt ready to tear them out at any time and can be used as a percussion instrument. It's inevitable.
The brown lady leans forward suddenly, stroking a child's hair and show him some pictures in a brochure. And that reminds me:
She's not a guy, they only pretending.
Easter Parade (days Buchau plan)
Sunday 12 April 2009 Urge to climb a mountain or a hill, at least:
Behind me, power lines, which can only be serviced by helicopters.
Before me hills, beyond the sea.
The tracked vehicles have retreated after they were scratched for months light scratches in the dark hills. Somewhere they are in hiding. Only until the crisis is over.
Nature is in solemn silence that comes from a special focus: She is committed in advancing the spring, so everything is ready when the sun burns all again soon.
This devotional concentration can affect the clouds of Müllfeuerchen, squad and Kradmotoren, Böllerschießerei because of the resurrection of the Lord and the falsetto of stupid little dog barking. The silence lies down again and again about it, because it is stronger today.
I climb a mountain pass through a sea of flowers, the most favored places to reaching up to shoulder height. The lawn opens up and the touch of their leaves and flower cools the skin, and I remember all those places, as they were too similar time as the wind was blowing, and where you could stretch out.
And then I look on this mountain in the distance, and remember, and I see all this, and realize that yet again it is good.
Dark Purple Iris (days Buchau plan)
Monday 06 April 2009The morning brings the discovery of dunkelilafarbigen Irissen.
At the beginning of spring in the morning I pull on my favorite meadows to look like a botanical accountants all familiar faces and to welcome me happy. It provides security, certainty and satisfaction that this will happen every year. The joyful greeting ritual is not all: I peer also looking for new faces, according to new discoveries for my collection.
And actually, I manage it every year after discovering the "long vacation" a new face (more ...)
Swallows (days Buchau plan)
Saturday 04 April 2009The white bellies of the swallows flashed above me, it is not easy to follow.
As quickly as they materialize in the sky, they disappear into the blue, like in an optical illusion.
Fascinating as they advance through a single, tiny wings with folded wings rhythmically, easily and efficiently propel through the air, are easy.
I admire her elegance and lightness. Any kind of air pressure is always the best thing they can casually drop into a deep and shoot up on a high. (more ...)
Ideas for dealing with forest fires and "fire company"
Friday 03 April 2009In the southern Mediterranean countries, there are - who have not heard one of them - a serious problem of forest fires, especially in the extremely dry summer months.
Not always, but these disasters are caused by carelessly discarded cigarette or heated glass bottles: Very often the fires striking out systematically in several places almost simultaneously. A single pyromaniac may cause huge damage and involve forces for days in a "hot" show. Frequently, however, turned out then that not only the fire had gone through hell with a villain, but that tangible interests at stake. (more ...)
Oranges on the floor: Why the orange is not harvested
Thursday 02 April 2009The hinterland of the Spanish south coast is a Garden of Eden with its abundance of water and allowed all year round cultivation and harvesting of fruits and vegetables.
-
- Garden of Eden: The hinterland of the Costa del Sol
Even the most inattentive observer is striking, however, that hardly any fruit is harvested, as he stumbles either above or go by car must pass through fruits, which are on paths and roads.
The condition is not new. For years, farmers are paid such low prices that it does not even cover the expenses for the irrigation of fruit trees. Therefore, the trees are harvested mostly not charge or equal to the entire finca unbewässert, the trees are dried up after 2-3 years. Others cut down their trees in the prime of life, and instead simply planting avocado trees.

- Orange run over on the way
This exotic tree with a somewhat dull, oily fruit has an equally bland and mild floral odor, and in many areas, the natural phenomenon of the Orange Blossom (Orange Blossom Coast) is already diminished. The ineffable, with nothing to compare scent of orange blossom in the month of April is able to mediate an olfactory receptive natures taste of paradise, or better said, by smell "pre scent". In any case leaves the aroma of orange blossom, especially when mixed with still hanging on the tree very ripe oranges, directly behind the center of the forehead and raises both the mood and the ability to concentrate quite extraordinary. Is (more ...)
