Swine flu. Thus, the media roller rolls again. The diversity of opinion is radically simplified. A climate of hysteria can be a worry about the mind and makes every objection silenced. In short, it is time again to get suspicious. (More ...)

Bird flu epidemic, Bank flu epidemic, swine flu epidemic. (Part 2 with frown)
Thursday, April 30, 2009Bird flu epidemic, Bank flu epidemic, swine flu epidemic. Part 1 (with a wink)
Thursday, April 30, 2009The price question: Select the 3 above-mentioned terms, those of which represents a real, real, worrying problem worldwide.
The penultimate plague-sow that was driven through the village, was the bird flu 2005/2006. We remember: you had run away from the Pentagon and took a tremendous victory gallop around the world. First, the turkey of the Greek farmers on the eastern Aegean island Dimitris Kominaris Inousses. And on we went in Hogfather, not stop them was: migratory birds lost their way in hens laying batteries. Probably out of pity she looked over at her pained, unfree counterparts - and on we went with the Seuchensau: Mein lieber Schwan! Do you remember? Emergency auf Rügen: A swan was but actually died in the winter. Please do not kiss! Alert level red!
However, millions of chickens and geese fell less the alleged H5N1 virus, but mainly a heartless, merciless, spacious gasification victim. Even at Hobby breeders of rare poultry breeds remembered the plague fighter and killed the come under suspicion minke, Perl and Gurrhühner front of their horrified owner of the night off on the spot.
But then: The Miracle: Just in time for onset of disease football ended the avian flu! That was close! (More ...)
Adolescent psychiatry: therapy prerequisite Ritalin
Monday, April 27, 2009I just spoke with a friend. She is a single mother of two sons and lives in a West German metropolis. It is delicate, more fragile figure and sometimes beat her things together above his head. She herself is currently pensioned once for a few months because of occasional anxiety attacks. Before that, she worked sometimes in 1-euro jobs; ultimately put to her a full-time job close, some, what they with regard to their 15-year olds youngest son, who still need them urgently, declined. Further sanctions by the offices could be blocked for the time being due to their mental illness, but the problem remains with the youngest son.
I admit that I (name changed) since early childhood know Tommy and he since has a "stone in my board." This may be due to such irrational things, like the explanation that he gave me at the age of approximately five to six years, when I told him, Tommy then said, "Tommy, I like you." "Itsch ditsch auck" - he got something with the official debate in collision, but moved well back then in his own logical system. During this time it was that Tommy always climbed wildfire on fruit trees and I eagerly picked fruit -. Quite clear even then a real Gentle Man (more ...)
Post from Afghanistan
Friday, April 24, 2009Yesterday I had a call of a living in Chicago Afghans under my Epost, I decided to translate: Dr. Mohammed Daud Miraki had obviously still my email address because I had ordered his book "Afghanistan After Democracy" some time ago.
I wanted then inform firsthand what is happening in Afghanistan right: Finally, German troops are there. Dr. Mirakis Bildreportage shook me. Then I read the book nor the German Afghanistan connoisseur Christoph Hörstel ("bomb Afghanistan: The Bundeswehr in Your Eyes"), which I can only recommend, if you want to deal in more detail with the matter.

Fats be stopped? London study proves: Global warming mainly caused by emissions from Dicken
Tuesday, April 21, 2009Phil Edwards and Ian Roberts, both researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, are sounding the alarm: overweight are responsible (directly and indirectly) for global warming, ie for a higher emissions of greenhouse gases (CO 2), because they have more food and more energy consume. Corresponding tests and present measurement results that were collected directly in the digestive tract of thicknesses, lead to the conclusion that thickness is not only longer but also more burping and farting, consequently therefore directly for the production of harmful, highly toxic greenhouse gas (CO 2) in charge draw.
The two scientists make the thicknesses responsible for at least 20% of the resulting highly toxic gases (CO 2). The study made for. B. also a growing livestock because of an increasing demand for meat for 20% of all harmful greenhouse gases (CO 2) in charge, due to the toxic methane (CO 2), which is secreted from cows. Thus, the researchers documented a catastrophic "Doppler effect": thickness meatballs it demands ever more thick meatballs, which in turn stimulates more and more cows to fart. These data were also collected animals directly in the digestive tract of harmful methane gas producing highly controversial (CO 2). Here, one of the researchers ventured so far that he had been sucked almost in a particularly violent Rülpsvorgang a cow in the Wiederkäutrakt. The measurement data could be collected after the incident only with difficulty. However, they leave nothing to be desired in clarity left. "Unfortunately," said one of the researchers, which also stimulates to reconsider the harmful indoor housing, given the devastating results completely. Finally, so (*) If there were long gas-free alternatives such as soy or rice milk, which is not burdened methane gas (CO 2) are. This could be offered entirely free of grease and also avoid problems in lactose digestion and corresponding harmful Gepupse in future. (Read more ...)
With Truncheon
Wednesday, April 15, 2009The work (losigkeits) offices in Spain have most recently uniformed security guards with batons.
The lady in brown uniform stands legs apart and bump their chest, chin slightly shifted upward directed boots spikes outward pressed knee, both hands on the square belt buckle. I wonder why that is the classic guy gesture well, you probably learn when you are trained for such a job?
Oh, sure, because the belt buckle so is also a weapon; the hands are placed on the belt ready to rip out these at any time and use it as a percussion instrument can. So it must be.
The brown lady leans suddenly in front, stroking a child's hair and showed him some pictures in a brochure. And it occurs to me:
She's not a guy, it does just that.
Osterspaziergang (days Buchau plan)
Sunday, April 12, 2009Urge a mountain or at least to climb a hill:
Behind me high-voltage lines that can only be serviced by helicopters.
Before me hills, looking onto the sea.
The tracked vehicles have retreated after they had for months scratched bright scratches in the dark hills. Somewhere they are hiding. Only until the crisis is over.
Nature is in solemn silence that arises from a special concentration: She works resolutely engaged in taking forward the spring, so that everything is ready when the sun burns all again soon.
These devout concentration can swaths of Müllfeuerchen, Squad- and Kradmotoren affecting Böllerschießerei because of the resurrection of the Lord, and the foolish falsetto of barking barely. The silence lies down again and again about it because it is stronger today.
I climb a mountain by a sea of flowers through which reaches up to more favored places up to shoulder height. The meadow is opening up and the touch of her leaves and flowers cools the skin; and I remember all of those places, as they were too similar time, as the wind was blowing, and where you could stretch out.
And then I look out of this mountain in the distance and remember and see all this, and realize that it is good but again.
Dark Purple Iris (days Buchau plan)
Monday, 06 April, 2009The morning brings the discovery of dunkelilafarbigen irises.
With the beginning of spring I touch the morning about my favorite meadows to look like a botanical accountant all my familiar faces and greet satisfied. It gives security, certainty and satisfaction that this is successful every year. But the joyful greeting ritual is not all: I peer also looking for new faces, according to new discoveries for my collection.
And actually succeeds me every year to the "great holiday" a new face to discover (more ...)
Swallows (days Buchau plan)
Saturday, 04 April, 2009The white bellies of swallows flashed above me; it is not easy to follow them.
As quickly as they materialize in the sky, they disappear in blue, as in an optical illusion.
Fascinating as they advance rhythmically by a single, tiny wings beat with folded wings, easily and efficiently catapult through the air, are effortless.
I admire their elegance and lightness. Any type of air pressure for them is always the best: they can be transparent in a deep fall or shoot up on a high. (More ...)
Thoughts on how to deal with forest fires and "society fires"
Friday, 03 April, 2009In the southern Mediterranean countries, there are - who has not heard of it - a serious problem: risk of forest fires, especially in the extremely dry summer months.
Not always, however, these disasters are caused by carelessly discarded cigarettes or heated glass bottles: Very often the fires are striking systematically placed in several places almost simultaneously. A single pyromaniac can cause huge damage and forces for days in a "hot" entangle spectacle. Frequently, however, it turned out then, that not only the firebug had gone through with a bad guy, but that were also tangible interests are at stake. (Read more ...)
Oranges on the ground: Why is the orange is no longer harvested
Thursday, 02 April, 2009The hinterland of the Spanish south coast is a Garden of Eden, and allowed his abundance of water throughout the year cultivation and harvesting of fruits and vegetables.
However, even the inattentive observer notices that hardly any fruit is harvested, since it is either tripped over or have to drive by car through fruits through lying on roads and streets.
The state is not new. For years the farmers such low prices are paid, that it does not even cover the expenses for the irrigation of fruit trees. Therefore, one usually no longer harvests the trees or leaves equal to the entire Finca unirrigated, the trees are so dried up after 2-3 years. Other cases their trees in the prime of life without further ado and plants instead of avocado trees.
This exotic tree with a little boring, oily fruit has a well-fad mild smell flowers, and in many parts of the natural phenomenon of orange blossom (Azahar) is already diminished. The indescribable, with nothing to be compared scent of orange blossom in the month of April is to convey able receptive natures an olfactory foretaste of paradise, or rather a by smell "pre scent". Anyway drives the aroma of orange blossom, especially when it is 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.
