Recent EU entrants among the top ranked in the 2010 HDI, but former Soviet republics losing ground in life expectancy in recent decade, 20th anniversary Report reveals
United Nations, 4 November 2010—The 20th anniversary edition of the UN Development Programme's (UNDP) Human Development Report, in a detailed new review of global progress in recent decades as measured by the Human Development Index (HDI), shows that most Eastern European countries made major gains in this period of profound regional change, but the largest countries from the former Soviet Union suffered severe health setbacks.
Launched today in a ceremony with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and UNDP Administrator Helen Clark, the 2010 Report—The Real Wealth of Nations: Pathways to Human Development—examines progress in health, education and income since 1970, as measured by the HDI, for the 135 countries for which comparable data is available.
This 40-year period encompasses an era of profound political and economic transformation throughout the region, including the transition at the midpoint from the centralized controls of the Soviet era to the independence of the former Soviet republics and the reclaimed sovereignty and democratization of many other nations in the region. This was accompanied by a swift and often difficult integration into the international market economy, with sometimes-disruptive impacts on health and living standards.
The trends analysis reveals that Eastern Europe and Central Asia have the highest "underperformance" rates—countries whose progress on the HDI is significantly below what would have been predicted by their initial stage of development. The greatest single factor was health declines: average life expectancy in the Russian Federation dropped from 69 in 1970 to 67 in 2010, in neighboring Belarus from 71 to 70, and Ukraine from 71 to 69, the Report shows.
"Although the collapse of socialist and communist systems in Central and Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union presented new economic and political opportunities, the transition process affected countries in the region differently," said Jeni Klugman, the Report's lead author. "The introduction of democratic practices, for example, while an enormous achievement did not necessarily translate into sustained human development achievements on other fronts."
On the positive side, literacy rates have been consistently high and increasing throughout Eastern Europe and Central Asia, with an average of 96 percent in 2010, up from 91 percent in 1970. In terms of years of schooling, the Czech Republic and Estonia perform best, each with an average of 12 years. Turkey lags behind, with 6.5 mean years of schooling, with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (8.2 years) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (8.7).
Overall, Eastern Europe and Central Asia have a relatively high per capita income of US$11,462, but this varies from more than $20,000 for European Union members like Slovakia and the Czech Republic to less than $3,000 in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.
2010 Human Development Index
The 2010 HDI, which introduces technical adjustments to some its traditional indicators in health, education and income for 169 countries, illustrates a wide range of national development across Eastern Europe and Central Asia. (Due to the methodological refinements, the 2010 country rankings are not comparable to those from previous years.)
The eight countries in the top or 'very high' human development category in the new HDI are all recent European Union entrants: the Czech Republic (28), Slovenia (29), Slovakia (31), Malta (33), Estonia (34), Cyprus (35), Hungary (36) and Poland (41). Most other countries are in the second 'high human development' HDI quartile, with five in the 'medium' category: Turkmenistan (87) and Moldova (99) as well as Uzbekistan (102), Kyrgyzstan (109) and Tajikistan (112).
In addition to the 40-year trends analysis and the 2010 HDI, the 2010 Human Development Report introduces three new indices that capture inequality, multidimensional poverty and gender gaps.
In its new measure of inequality, taking into account disparities in health, education and income in 139 countries, Eastern Europe emerges on average as the most equitable region in the developing world. The Czech Republic, Slovenia and Slovakia have the smallest losses—6-7 percent—on the Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index, while Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and the Baltic Republics experience losses of 11-12 percent; Turkmenistan suffered an HDI loss of 26 percent.
The Gender Inequality Index—which captures gender gaps in reproductive health, empowerment and workforce participation in 138 countries—reveals that the percentage of women in parliament is relatively low throughout the region, though they are close to parity with men in educational attainment and employment in most countries. The overall loss due to gender inequality in Eastern Europe and Central Asia is 19 percent; South Asia, by contrast, had the largest regional loss, with 35 percent.
Reports from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan suggest an upsurge in traditionalism with calls to re-establish polygamy and change laws to make it more difficult for women to initiate divorce. Arranged marriages have increased, and bride payments and "bride-napping" have re-emerged in some countries, the Report notes by way of caution.
The Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI)—which identifies serious deprivations in health, education and living standards in 104 countries—shows that "multidimensional" poverty in Eastern Europe and Central Asia is relatively rare, affecting 3 percent of the population, compared to 10 percent in Latin America and 65 percent in sub-Saharan Africa, for example. Tajikistan has the region's highest share of multidimensionally poor, at 17 percent. But MPI rates are close to zero in several countries, with higher figures of 5-7 percent found in Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkey. These relatively low figures reflect specific MPI indicators and do not imply an absence of otherwise severe economic hardship in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

World Health Day 2008 - Protecting Health from Climate Change
Today in Washington DC the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO -a section of the World Health Organization) will be kicking off a year of events, public education campaigns, and initiatives related to this year's theme: Protecting Health From Climate Change.
"Climate change is already affecting the health of people in countries around the world, and the consensus is that these effects are only going to intensify," said PAHO Director Dr. Mirta Roses, who will give the welcoming message at an event today. "This year's World Health Day is a call for raising awareness and taking action to protect health through preventive measures at the global, regional, and local levels. We cannot wait any longer to act."
Here is more information from PAHO's press release:
Climate change threatens human health in diverse and broad-reaching ways, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. It can increase extreme weather events, such as the 2003 heat wave that killed some 35,000 Europeans in 2003. It can affect the incidence and spread of infectious diseases such as dengue and malaria. And it can contribute to water and food scarcity or increase the risks of water and food contamination. In the most general sense, climate change can alter the ecosystem in ways that impact heavily on human well-being and even survival.
Such hazards are likely to have the greatest impact on poorer and more vulnerable countries and population groups, including the elderly, the very young, people with medical conditions, and those living in poor and isolated communities.
Also at higher risk are people who live in small-island states and coastal areas, and countries where climate-sensitive diseases are already endemic, where water is already scarce, or where food production is low.
You can find out more at PAHO's World Health Day web page.
We'll have more details soon on how PAHO and Live Earth will work together to spread the message that we can all be part of the solution to climate change!

Adapt or perish, now as ever, is Nature's inexorable imperative.
This quote is about change . Search on Google Books to find all references and sources for this quotation.
We don't have a biography.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch ...
Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
Women wish to be loved not because they are pretty, or good, or well bred, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves.
Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.
Bad people are less a problem than indifferent people.
Look at things... as they can be.

This wallet fits perfectly in a pants' front pocket where it won't tempt pickpockets or cause discomfort as you sit. Cut exactly like the shape of a front pocket, the wallet is curved on one side so that it stores snugly in the contours of the pocket, where it won't create unsightly bulges or wrinkles. The wallet is only 1/4" thin and it's made from soft satin leather that forms gently to the shape of your thigh, so you'll hardly know it's in your pocket. It has three credit card slots, an identification window, and an expansive 10"-long bill compartment that accommodates domestic and most international currency. Folded: 5" L x 3 1/2" W x 1/4" D. (1 3/4 oz.)

He loves it!

I bought this wallet for my husband because he always took his back pocket wallet out when he got in the car and would then misplace it, end up carrying it or putting it in something else he was carrying. With this wallet it stays In his pocket, so he never leaves it anywhere!!

Apologies to those of you that are not based in London but for those of you that are...
We're trying to set up a group for people working within the Usability field within London.
The aim of the group is for people to be able to meet other people working within the same field in an informal environment, to share ideas, contacts, information and of course, a drink or two. A virtual group has also been set up on the egroups site ( http://www.egroups.com/group/london_usability - from which this message has been generated), to manage messages and details of meetings.
We have set up an initial meeting for Wednesday 8th November - venue in central London, to be confirmed dependent upon the numbers of people that are likely to turn up.
However, we have set an initial outline for the evening:
6.30 - 7pm Flexible arrival time, drinks.
7 - 7.30pm Brief session on Usability and Interactive TV to be led by Ian Pardoe, Head of the HCI Group at ntl
7.30 - 8pm Brief session on whether or not there is a need for a 'London Usability Group' - and if so, what should it be like
8pm - onwards Networking, food, drinks...For the first meeting, we thought it would be more interesting to include a brief presentation, rather than just have a meeting in which we all turn up and sit around. I have been to several other meetings where this format has been used very successfully to make the evening both informative and enjoyable.
If you are interested in coming along to the session on Nov 8th, please could you let me know by e-mail (email@example.com) so we can have an approximate idea of the number of people that are likely to turn up.
Even if you are unable to come along, please do join the london_usability egroup (either visit the egroups website at http://www.egroups.com/group/london_usability or send an e-mail to email@example.com) , and let us know what you think.
Finally, if you know anyone else who might be interested in this, please do forward this e-mail on to them.
Many thanks,
Hope to see some of you on November 8th.
Best wishes,
Sam Jeffs

Any idea if this feature is planned and when it might be available? I'm going to have to find a workaround in the meantime.

Accentuate the positive with sterling silver bands that contain natural red coral in a simple but stunning mosaic inlay. The natural radiance of red coral is enhanced with the pure gleam of sterling silver for a noticeable flash of color. Bands measure approximately 3/4" long x 3/4" wide. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the natural gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

No Political Prisoner Left Behind
Despite some welcome political change in Burma, including the release of high profile political prisoners, hundreds of political prisoners remain in jail.
The international community must not forget those political prisoners still left behind in Burma's jails.
In an effort to get international sanctions lifted, Burma's military-backed government has started to release political prisoners. However, hundreds of political prisoners remain in jail.
Please take action now and urge Foreign Office Minister Hugo Swire MP to demand the immediate release of all political prisoners.

Your Turn
Scarlett Johansson says she got a 1080/1600 on her SAT. What did you get?
Scarlett Johansson says she got a 1080/1600 on her SAT. What did you get?
1340/1600. ScarJo can suck it.
I got 4 hours.
Never took the SAT. Joined the Navy instead of college right out of high school. Went JUCO and transferred to University, after 20 years in the Navy. I did, however, test into Mensa, so I'm sure I would have scored pretty high. I DID take the GRE, and scored greater than 1100 first time up. But, REALLY, what adult gives a fuck? It's one thing if you're 18 and trying to get into a quality post-secondary or graduate school, but once you've passed that stage, who cares?
I didn't... took the ACT and got a 32.
Max score back then I think was 36.
She made it a point of saying she didn't do half the math questions. Not sure if she was trying to excuse herself or simply stating the fact that she sucks at math. I liked a lot of the interview...she's pretty funny when she mentions retreating into a shell as a teen and how her low husky voice at the age of 9 was not going to sell any jello. Oh, and I got an 1190/1600 on my SAT...I also suck at math...
When I took the SATs, you could max out at 1600 -- the scoring was 800/800. My scores were still pretty meh, at 710/540 (I really don't have the aptitude for math. At all.)
Is that some American tax ? Not something used around here anyway, therefore I didn't get anything at it.
Half of you are lying through your keyboards. So everybody just did well on the SAT now? Yeah sure.
Not lying here Kels. I got a 1000.
I BOMBED them. I'm terrible at tests and am half dummy in math. I think I got like a 710...LMFAO. That means nothing in the grand scheme of things. If I could have stood up and talked the SAT's out, I know I would have had a higher score. lol.
Kels makes me wanna punch bunnies.
Didn't take them did 2 years art school and then finished 2 years at NYU for my B.A.
Take a Xanax boo
lol MerryB!
hearts ur face betch.
I would admit it if my score sucked. I had to really work for my score; it did not come easily to me. For my older son, it came too easily; he rolled out of bed, barely made it to the test, and forgot a pencil. And he did much better than I did (plus, he did that 3rd section they added).
Also max was 1600. I think i got in neighborhood of 1200. Nbd then, the way it is now. I couldnt have cared less.
Didn't take them.
FYI - my son with the super high score has little, if any, common sense. And no matter what I've done, he still has the manners of a baboon.
But who knows, I am probably lying.
I don't effing remember. It was a long time ago. :-)
I'm the only test dummy here? I don't even remember what I made on the SAT but I got into college anyways. No, it wasn't an Ivy League school or anything even remotely close but I did get in, had a kick ass time, and graduated so who cares, right?
1050. I suuuuuck at multiple choice tests.
For many people there is no life after high school. Al Bundy Syndrome.
1350, old school.
@WareCat get a fuckin life dude.
Kels, dude, hows that job coming along for u?
670math/520verbal. I didn't study the vocabulary.
Why is that? I've got a highly intelligent, mature, well-mannered grandchild who probably couldn't answer the question paper or plastic?
1200s, don't remember exact score. 31 on ACT.
Well, since you asked, 1320 way back in the day, before it became a joke. And I still had trouble getting into college because I may have missed 142 days between my Jr and St year, and that doesn't count classes cut on the days I was there. Still got a 4 out of 5 on the AP calculus test, which was a far better achievement
760 verbal/670 math. I took a lot of practice tests. I was under the delusion I could get a perfect score.
I also have a very well-mannered son, who has intellectual disabilities. He is smart in ways his older brother is not. I can only think that my older son's brain is busy doing other things, and can't process the social niceties. Or he's lazy. Who knows?
I really don't remember. I was out drinking til 4am at the Howard Johnson's the night before and taking the test a few hours later was a completle train wreck.
I took the SAT a year out of High School. Most take it their sophomore or senior year. I knew I wouldn't have a problem with the English, but was shocked when I passed the math portion.
I honestly don't even know what SAT is
Careful...bunnies have sharp, pointy teeeeeeethhhh!
No lie. I also scored 142 on the I.Q. test they gave me in first grade. None of which means Jack. I'm not a rocket scientist or brain surgeon. I don't make six figures a year. I do well, very well, on standardized tests. Whoop-ie! All it got me was lots of one-on-one time with the school psychologist because I "wasn't living up to my potential" and Ritalin prescription.
Oh, and I suck at oral exams. If it had been verbal or a speech, I would have gone down in flames.
I actually got my name right on the SATs. I got a whopping 800 out of 1600 possible points. My friend got 840.
1400ish. I don't really remember. I am very good at tests.
1280 when I took it in 6th grade. 1410 in high school. I always thought I should've been able to skip over high school since my 6th grade score would've gotten me into most colleges.
750 Math, 720 Verbal, so 1470 total, out of 1600.
I'd barely break 1000 now.
No SATs here in Canada, or at least I've never been given one. But I know for a fact I would kick ass. :)
1260/1600. I took it again and got the same score!
Well, sh*t, Cdanners are SMART! Everyone is over 1k... Only 15% of my prep HS class did that, but, then again, I knew I was in better company here. Besides, who is but geniuses can cruise websites so much and still hold down a job?!? :) love this site and it's smart ass friends...
There were only two parts when I took it, and I got a 680 Math/680 Verbal, for a 1360 total.
My kids each got over 2000 on the new version.
Oh, and I didn't study shit. Did people do that in the '70's?
It's so long ago I don't remember my scores but I didn't really do any prep--but for some reason those kinds of tests were easy to me---I remember doing much better than I expected --I too could not do much of the math--but I had the time--and I could kind of reason through the algebra part and guess the likeliest answers--so I did ok --couldn't do the geometry at all--I could not remember the terms so there was no guessing my way through.
A lot of that kind of test taking is being able to reason through enough to take an informed guess at the answer.
Almost perfect on the Verbal, super bad on the Math. I didn't know any of the Algebra. It was all those "If Train A is coming from the north at 80 mph and Train is coming from the south at 73 mph..." questions and I had NO idea how to do them whatsoever. Very sad.
Oops there should be a "B" after the second Train.
Back in the late 80s. No studying or review courses like there are now. I got a 1260 on the SAT and a 28 on the ACT.
I never took it! I went to a jr college and transferred to a four year. It so much easier to do that and save money too.
1430. More proud of the 790 I got on the U.S. History subject test and my 3 5s on AP exams. I'm in Mensa and I'm good at taking tests, but am under no delusions that that makes me a speshul snowflake. It means I'm book-smart but flaky as hell, and prone to depressive episodes. Yeehaw!
LOL! I took it and still did that.
1480/1600 on SAT
34/36 on ACT
Ha ha! You said "oral exams".
I would love to take it now after adding vocabulary from a thousand or more books in the intervening years. On the other hand my math score will drop like a rock.

Isamu Noguchi, born in 1904 in Los Angeles to the Japanese poet Yone Noguchi and the American writer Leonie Gilmour, studied at Columbia University and the Leonardo da Vinci Art School. He subsequently established his first independent studio and received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1927. He then worked as an assistant to Constantin Brancusi in Paris and presented his first solo exhibition in New York. He studied brush drawing in China and worked with ceramics under Jinmatsu Uno in Japan. His experiences living and working in different cultural circles are reflected in his work as an artist. Isamu Noguchi is considered a universal talent with a creative oeuvre that went beyond sculpture to encompass stage sets, furniture, lighting, interiors as well as outdoor plazas and gardens. His sculptural style is indebted to a vocabulary of organic forms and exerted a sustained influence on the design of the 1950s. "My father, Yone Noguchi, is Japanese and has long been known as an interpreter of the East to the West, through poetry. I wish to fulfill my heritage", he wrote in his proposal for a Guggenheim Fellowship. Isamu Noguchi died in New York in 1988.

Herman Miller began in 1923 as a manufacturer of traditional residential furniture, became a leader in "modern" furniture in the 1930s and 1940s; developed lasting ties through the 1950s with legendary industrial designers who led the company in new directions; transformed the office furniture industry with the first panel system in the 1960s; invented and refined ergonomic work seating in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s; reinvented the geometry of systems furniture in 2000, and is today the second largest office furniture company with customers and locations around the world.

They look at their primary goal as creating great places to work.
George Nelson laid out five tenets of Herman Miller's design philosophy 50 years ago:
While fashion and style have their place, the main criterion for a Herman Miller product has remained constant: Does it truly solve a problem that people care about in a way that improves upon other solutions, or pioneers a new and better answer altogether? The answer is Yes.

I purchased this ring to propose to my girlfriend soon and I must say I believe I made the right choice. The diamond is very clean and shiny. The intricate details on both rings match the photos on overstock.com. I showed it to numerous people and everyone loves the look. I am only disappointed in that the price is significantly lower than when I bought it. Minor gripe but I would recommend this ring to anyone.
I was slightly disappointed that the engagement ring was not exactly the same as the solitary engagement ring I had purchased previsouly. But the set is beautiful. I have received many compliments on the rings.
Looks great and I know she'll love it when I give it to her!
I had been looking for a ring that would be different then the rest and when I seen this ring it really caught my eye. I was nervous about ordering online but once I received it I took it to a jeweler who checked the ring out and it was a steal! She told me I had gotten a really good deal on a wonderful ring. It looks just like the picture and everyone is always giving me complements!
Upon receiving my product, I noticed some damage done to the outside of the shipping box; which in turn, caused some problems with the original received product. I contacted customer support for a replacement product. Even though I was a bit disappointed with not being able to wear my ring immediately, I must say that I have never been happier with a business' customer service until now! Within one day of contacting Overstock's Replacement Customer Services, I had a reply sent to my E-mail saying they are resolving the problem, along with instructions on how to return the product to them. The next day, Overstock had sent another email saying they have sent out my replacement ring. I received my replacement ring within two business days of getting the email saying they have shipped it! I was so happy they promptly solved my problem, along with sending me the most gorgeous bridal ring set I have ever laid eyes on . This piece is simply gorgeous, with beautiful black diamonds, a polished White Gold metal and the vintage style makes it a stunning piece with timeless beauty. All of my friends and family who see the piece, are stunned by it's beauty. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and I can't take my eyes off of my new ring! I am overjoyed and very happy with Overstock for providing such outstanding customer service and sending out products in which you see online, it's exactly what you get! I loved it so much, I have also ordered my husbands wedding bands from here also. Thank you so much, Overstock!
First time I ordered this ring it had quite noticeable inclusions. Sent it back. Second one came and it had what looked like craters under the surface. Sent it back again. Third and final time (today) it came, it has a few barely noticeable inclusions. Can live with that. The wedding ring however is missing one of the small diamonds. Won't be sending it back a fourth time. What a shame, it's a great looking ring at a good price. I think someone needs to pay better attention when inspecting the rings, so men don't have to look at the look of disappointment on their fiance's faces every week. Not to mention the cost of shipping it back multiple times.
The rings are beautiful, but within two days of use one of the little side stone fell off, so i can not imagine it lasting years, also you can see that the center stone has pecks of white in it, and it also looks bigger in the picture. Returned to item.

Shannon Hoeckel |
The following was taken from Capt. Shannon Hoeckel's blog, shortdriftcharters.blogspot.com.
A few days ago I headed out to Boca Grande Pass with my father to do some scouting for the charters I had the following weekend. It was early in the day, the air was a little cooler than usual and the sun was sparkling on the water. Everything seemed perfect for a great day of fishing in the Gulf of Mexico.
We had been on the water for about two hours. It was a beautiful fall day in Florida, there was lots of bait and the fish were feeding. We were about a mile and a half offshore when I spotted something unusual in the water. It was small and whitish in color but it was a little too far away to see what it was so I told my dad to reel in his line and we headed off to check it out. What happened next was very unexpected!
I started the boat up and turned toward where I had seen the object in the water. As I got closer I realized that what we were seeing was a tiny light colored bottlenose dolphin floating on the surface so I slowed the boat to an idle speed as I approached, not wanting to interfere with whatever was happening in nature that day. Before we could get too close a large adult dolphin jumped out of the water in front of the boat and came crashing down. At about the same time another dolphin with a small calf did a high jump out of the water to our left, then another to our right. I had my eye on the tiny dolphin when what I believe was its mother came to the surface and gently pulled her baby under.
I suddenly realized what we were seeing so I stopped the boat immediately. We had encountered a pod of bottlenose dolphin dealing with tragedy in their family that day. The baby dolphin had died, perhaps at birth, and the mother was either trying to revive it or she was just trying to protect it from harm. We watched as she resurfaced over and over again, constantly nudging her offspring, attempting to breathe life back into the tiny creature. The rest of the family of dolphin were protecting her when they put themselves between my boat and the baby, jumping around us, racing up close to the boat, working hard to distract us from the mother and baby.
It was an amazingly sad and beautiful scene out there that day. Every day is an adventure when you are lucky enough to be on the water but some days are definitely more special than others.
I wished there was something I could have done but I know not to interfere with Mother Nature. It was just another one of those days that you feel lucky to be here on Planet Earth.
Tight Lines … Capt. Shannon Hoeckel


text: The Car Lot of the Future Today the Prius gets 50 mpg. By 2025, federal rules will require all vehicles to average nearly 55 mpg. Is this the end of the SUV? We talked to experts to find out how the new standard will affect consumer choice and price. By Dan Shapley Email Comments 0 Share Back 1 of 7 Next Huntstock / Getty Images Back Next View Larger View Thumbnails The end of the SUV? When the Obama Administration and automakers announced agreement last week on a plan to make the U.S. car fleet average nearly 55 mpg by 2025, there was widespread applause from environmentalists. Surveys also show consumers largely in support of higher fuel efficiency standards, especially since gasoline prices remain at around $3.70 a gallon, on average, nearly $1 more than a year ago. But wait. Other than the two new electric cars on the market, the most fuel-efficient car is Toyota's iconic hybrid, the Prius. It gets 50 mpg. Will the average car 15 years from now really be 10% more efficient than the most efficient car today? Will car lots be packed only with tiny two-seaters? Is this the first sentence in the obituary of the internal combustion engine? Is the bell tolling for the SUV? Probably not, as The Daily Green learned when it asked experts to help us understand, from a consumer perspective, what the car lot of the future will look like. The first thing we learned is that those fuel-economy numbers are deceiving, or at least confusing.

One further question, please:
How can heliocentric astrology yield individual readings?
With more than 7,000 mio. humans in the current pandemic, this means, optimistically supposing a 70 year average life expectancy and stable population, 100 mio. births yearly or about 270,000 births per day.
Differing geographic coordinates of the place of birth do not effect the heliocentric positions, as Helios is about 150 mio. km distant from Gaia. Only Hermes changes position quickly enough to produce a different daily aspect picture, supposing e. g. an orb of 3 degrees. Thus, there seems to be only one pattern per day, resulting in identical maps for about k270 people.
Best regards,
Abd-Allah Meyers

Following his release from Guantanamo Bay, Sami Al-Hajj, a (former) Guantanamo Bay detainee, dashes towards his eight year old son Mohammad and swoops him up in his arms, hugging him and planting tender kisses on his face in their first reunion after seven years.
After being imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay for seven years, during which he was repeatedly interrogated and tortured, including being physically, sexually, and psychologically abused, Al Hajj was released without any charges held against him.
Al Hajj, a journalist for the Al Jazeera network, was arrested in Pakistan in 2001 while on his way to do camerawork for the network concerning the war that had recently broken out in Afghanistan. It has been speculated by both Al Hajj's lawyer, Clive Stafford Smith, and Reporters Without Borders that the main reason that he was incarcerated for so long was due to the US Miliary's desire to make him an informant against Al Jazeera, as most of Al Hajj's interrogations consisted of American interrogators questioning him about the (Al Jazeera) network.
While in Guantanamo, Al Hajj wrote a poem titled Humiliated in Shackles to his son Mohammad:
When I heard pigeons cooing in the trees,
Hot tears covered my face.When the lark chirped, my thoughts composed
A message for my son.Mohammad, I am afflicted.
In my despair, I have no one but Allah for comfort.The oppressors are playing with me,
As they move freely around the world.They ask me to spy on my countrymen,
Claiming it would be a good deed.They offer me money and land,
And freedom to go where I please.Their temptations seize
My attention like lightning in the sky.But their gift is an empty snake,
Carrying hypocrisy in its mouth like venom,They have monuments to liberty
And freedom of opinion, which is well and good.But I explained to them that
Architecture is not justice.America, you ride on the backs of orphans,
And terrorize them daily.Bush, beware.
The world recognizes an arrogant liar.To Allah I direct my grievance and my tears.
I am homesick and oppressed.Mohammad, do not forget me.
Support the cause of your father, a God-fearing man.I was humiliated in the shackles.
How can I now compose verses? How can I now write?After the shackles and the nights and the suffering and the tears,
How can I write poetry?My soul is like a roiling sea, stirred by anguish,
Violent with passion.I am a captive, but the crimes are my captors'.
I am overwhelmed with apprehension.Lord, unite me with my son Mohammad.
Lord, grant success to the righteous."He intends to launch legal action against George W. Bush."

Silas Marner: The Weaver of Raveloe, by Victorian novelist George Eliot, was first published in 1861. The idea for the short novel, which she described as "a story of old-fashioned village life," came upon Eliot suddenly and interrupted her plans for the writing of another novel, Romola. After the publisher John Blackwood read some of the manuscript and told her he found it somber, Eliot replied that it was not a sad story because "it sets in a strong light the remedial influences of pure, natural human relations."
Silas Marner is a story of loss, alienation, and redemption that combines elements of fairy tale and myth with realism and humor. Set in the fictional village of Raveloe, it centers on Silas Marner, a weaver who is forced to leave his hometown in the north after being falsely accused of theft by members of his chapel. His religious faith gone, for fifteen years Marner isolates himself from the life of the village and becomes a miser. But when the gold that he cherishes is stolen, and he adopts a child whose mother has just died, his life changes dramatically for the better.
Silas Marner has always been admired as one of Eliot's best and most appealing works. Not only is it a touching story that ends, like the fairy tale, happily ever after, it also presents a realistic portrait of nineteenth-century life in a traditional English village in which the spirit of kindness and cooperation overrule petty differences.

- Set aside 50g each of the peanut butter and chocolate. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 20cm square baking tin with baking parchment. Gently melt remaining peanut butter, chocolate and all the sugar in a pan, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has just about melted. Turn off heat and use a wooden spoon to beat in the eggs one by one. Stir in the flour and scrape into the tin.
- Melt reserved peanut butter in the microwave on High for 45 secs, or in a pan, until runny, then drizzle over the brownie. Bake for 30-35 mins until it has a crust, but the middle still seems slightly uncooked.
- Melt reserved chocolate, drizzle over the brownie, then cool in the tin before cutting into squares.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, May 2011
Comments, questions and tips
Absolutely delish!!!!!! Great for chocolate lovers and peanut butter lovers! I used the American Skippy crunchy peanut butter and they were amazing!!!! Really easy, but careful not to burn the chocolate when melting it with the sugar and peanut butter......you may need to add a knob of butter to help smooth it out. I'll def be making them again!!!
Very easy to bake, I actually cut the sugar down and drizzle chocolate at the end by 20g. I didn't add the left over chocolate to the mix but next time I will. It makes the most chewable and moist brownies I've ever tasted. Next time I make then I'm going to drizzle a combination of white and dark chocolate to improve the finished pattern.
These were delicious and the peanut butter flavour was awesome. My only criticism was that I found the brownies a tad bit too sweet. Next time I prepare, I will reduce the sugar added (as suggested in the comments). I will also use a darker chocolate (perhaps 84% cocoa) to counteract the sweetness. I used crunchy peanut butter and the nuts added great texture. Definitely a ''chewy, fudgey brownie'' as opposed to a ''cake type brownie''. Baking time was 25 minutes.
I saw these and craved them, so went out and bought all the stuff. Then realised I had forgotten the sugar so I just used demerera sugar instead. It didn't seem to melt in that well in the pan but when I baked it, it worked out just fine. I used a combination of dark and milk choc (as I am not a big fan of dark). They worked great, didn't last long, oops!
Suggestion - I would use smooth PB rather than crunchy, personal taste?!?
I made this for my grandson for his first communion party. He loves chocolate brownies and loves peanut butter BUT the recipe did not work
I bought the usual peanut butter, but it did NOT MELT! I was left with a very stiff mixture of sugar, peanut butter and chocolate. All the chocolate had melted, but the suger needed more fat to melt properly, which the peanut butter did not provide. I managed to beat in the eggs but was unable to melt the peanut butter to drizzle on top of the mixter, and resorted to putting half teaspoon blobs on the top, which didn't melt in the oven either. Unless you can suggest a make of peanut butter (other than Sunpat which I used), then this recipe is a disaster.
Not sure where you can shop as not sure where you live but I used Aldi specially selected have used both crunchy and smooth of this brand and worked well each time have made this recipe 3 times and has been perfect each time personally prefer it will smooth in the brownie mixture and crunchy melted on the top. I would imagine any supermarket own brand would work aswell. Hope this helps.
As an inveterate hater of peanuts I switched to almond butter, and also cut the sugar by 50g. The brownies were fantastic - the softest, fudgiest texture that I've ever been able to produce, and a really interesting but still chocolatey taste. I only had to bake them for around 20 minutes, though, and 30-35 would have been much too long.
