Queens sees huge surge in demand for emergency meals and food - 1 views

  •  
    I'm learning more about the food security right now,and in particular what I'm wondering about is :What is the food problem in NY? I was researching this question online,and this news item caught my attention because we have look for the food security in the Africa,and we are looking for the food security in America now,then i saw this topic,and i think it is interesting. "The number of emergency meals provided to the city's hungry has jumped in every borough since 2006, with the Queens tally topped only by that in the Bronx, which saw a 110% boost. In Brooklyn the jump was 75% and in Manhattan 62%. The smallest increase was 29% for Staten Island.The report found that 340,000 households across the city are now considered "food insecure" - meaning that these families are unsure when or how they will get their next meal - with 53,285 in the Bronx. " The quote I chose here is basically saying that the food security in New York is very important,because the news said that the number of the emergency meals provided to the city's hungry has jumped in every borough since 2006.Queens tally topped only by that in the Bronx,which saw a 100% boost.Brooklyn jump was 75% and Manhattan 62%.the less increase was 29% in Staten Island. I think this is amazing because i don't really know that was a big problem in the New York,it make me wonder that not only the food problem in Africa,it also happened in the place that I lived,that i have never know before.so it make me very amazing.I think we should solve the food problem also.

Why Global Warming Portends a Food Crisis - TIME - 1 views

  •  
    I'm learning more about food security right now,and in particular what I'm wondering about is:why global warning portends a food Crisis?I was researching this question online,and this blog post caught my attention because it have told what will happen in Africa. "Yet many climatologists believe that global warming will make dry areas dryer and further damage farming, which is especially dire news for sub-Saharan Africa, a region that already struggles with heat waves, droughts and famines even as population continues to grow. "Climate change is going to be a major concern for Africa," says Nteranya Sanginga, director of the Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility Institute of the International Center for Tropical Agriculture in Nairobi. "We could lose whole growing seasons."" The quote I chose here is basically saying that the Africa will lose the whole growing season,because the temperature in Africa have the higher temperature effect by the Battisti and Naylor ,it is not the possible effect of changing precipitation patterns.The climatologists believe that global warning will make the dry areas dryer and further damage farming.It make the climate is changing is going be a major concern for Africa. I think this is amazing because it makes me wonder that there have so many country don't have enough food for their people,and because the climate change,make some place can't grow the plants again,so i think if you want solve the problem of the food security, one of the thing you need to do is solve the global warning,make it don't not effect the climate.

      I think it is a big problem for Haiti gov. that there have too much is homeless, and they need resources, and they want a place to live.
  • Yeah, we need agents. We need emergency. There is no help, no hospital, no electricity, nothing. No food, no phone, no food, no water, nothing. There are too many people dying.
    • Houin EWSIS
       
      I agreed with this because Haiti just happen earthquake, and they didn't have time to prepare the food,water,or place for the people homeless.

Cut Calories And Lose Weight | Cat Walk Diet - 0 views

  • Losing weight is a life style change if you intend to lose it just once and keep it off!  Fad diets and crash diets can take off weight in a very short period of time.  But keep in mind that usually you end up gaining back all the weight you lost plus a few bonus pounds.  They are also very hard on your body and can lead to heath problems down the road
    • Houin EWSIS
       
      i am agree with you that it is very hard to lose weight,and if you use some dangerous ways to lose weight,it will put your health in dangerous,
  • Some of the salads that you find in restaurants have over 1200 calories in them.
    • Houin EWSIS
       
      i am surprise of that some of the salad have more that 1200 calories,i think you can't diet if you eat that,it will make you fat.
  • The average rule of thumb is that for every one pound you want to lose, you need to cut out 3500 calories.
    • Houin EWSIS
       
      This is the first time that i know if we need to cut 1 pound, that we need cut out 3500 calories.it is a hard way for that people that love to eat.

  • It is an honor for me to join this distinguished group of leaders from nations around the world. We come here in Copenhagen because climate change poses a grave and growing danger to our people.
    • Houin EWSIS
       
      This is important because it told us that who are invite to this conference,and what they aregoing to do.
  •  
    I'm learning more about Copenhagen conferences right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is :''Why is the Copenhagen conferences so important? i was researching this question online,and this blog post caught my attention because the title of the blog is Obama's remake at the unit nation climate change conference,and i saw why this conference is important, because the people that join the conference is all the leadership of their country around the word. "Climate change will pose unacceptable risks to our security, our economies, and our planet. Climate change poses a grave and growing danger to our people" The quote i chose here is basically saying that the climate change is danger to the people. The climate change also will damage our security,our economies,and our planet. I think this is best because the conference it makes me wonder that the leadership of the world know the problem of this,so they just have a conference about the climate change,so they try to solve the climate problem,because it can be damage the world, so they try to decrease the pollution of the world ,some of their country cut the greenhouse gas emission, some of them cut the emission intensity. they do so hard to cut this,so i think it should have more conference like this, then they can make the world more better.
