      Since 2004, Louisiana has implemented a STOP program that will try to resolve poverty in the state of Louisiania. Many services are linked to STOP like adoption agencies, vocational rehabilation, and other child welfare agencies. The idea is to consolidate and work together to create a soloution as a whole instead of having inconsistencies.

  • This process has to begin with an attitude change in the people.
  • The international system cannot determine for the people the needs, however obvious the needs may be.
  • MDGs are derived from the international system rather than the domestic environment. They are thus perceived to be foreign, however good the intentions may be.

  • Institutions in many African countries are derived from developed countries’ institutions. This makes the whole idea of independence derisory.
  • elimination of proxy wars that were constantly blamed for the underdevelopment of the third world, third world leaders would re-channel their resources in worthy directions, such as health care, education and poverty eradication.
  • Amanda Stueve on 27 May 07
     
    An opinion is put forth here that solutions for Africa must come from Africans so that they have legitimacy. Parochialism is a hindrance to solving political and healthcare issues in Africa (because people are not aware of their rights and privileges?).

      Links the United States poblem of race, education, and poverty to a lack of accountability by the government. The government did not even recognize they had a proble with poverty until the 1960's Civil Rights Movement.

    There are several companies out there that provide traffic generation services of various types, usually for pretty large fees. Or there are free services that promise to bring you traffic if you visit a certain number of websites yourself. You may be wondering if these services are actually worth the money or time you'll spend to get the traffic.

Early Warning Signs of Global Warming: Spreading Disease - 0 views

  • Mosquitoes in particular are highly sensitive to temperature. The mosquitoes that can carry malaria (Anopheline spp.) generally do not develop or breed below about 16° C, and the variety that transmits dengue fever (Aedes aegypti) is limited by winter temperatures below 10° C.
  • Warmer global temperatures will allow an expansion of the geographic range within which both the mosquito and parasite could survive with sufficient abundance for sustained transmission. Model predictions indicate that a 3° C global temperature rise by 2100 could increase the number of annual malaria cases by 50-80 million (not considering factors such as local control measures or health services)

The Maori - New Zealand in History - 0 views

shared by jcoop11 on 17 May 07 - Cached
  • Although Māori culture was a totally stone-age culture until the arrival of Europeans and the introduction of metal, it was highly evolved. The various working materials used before the Māori had access to metal were mainly bird bones, whale bones, ivory teeth, both dog and human bones, and also stone, from the large stone resources which had been discovered further inland within New Zealand.
  • › Māori : The name "Māori" originally meant "the local people", or "the original people". Māori was a word which signified "local" or "original" - as opposed to the new arrivals - white European settlers - the "pakeha". With the arrival of European settlers, the word Māori gradually became an adjective for the "Māori people". This change took place before 1815.
