Having just paid someone to dig a pond (in a farm in Colombia) with a spade, so as both to have a pond and also give someone with four small children work and money, productivity is not obviously the right course, in a continent with abundant land, infinite agriculture production and thus low prices for food, and lots of people needing work (i.e money). Productivity might well lead to less work. I could have hired a mechanical digger? And to more food and thus even lower prices. We muddle along, and Colombia regularly is reported as having the happiest people. It is not all economics. It is also social decisions. I shall not buy a digger. A few more spades may be.
"Dear sirs: It is a misfortune, but this article tell us the truth."
This is true, but for a host of reasons. Capital is rather scarce, development of infrastructure is hampered by relatively low population density and by geography, exacerbating transportation costs, education still leaves a lot to be desired, and, in some countries political instability causes entrepreneurs to refrain from large-scale investment, which is detrimental to modernization and higher efficiency. However, to put ALL Latin American economies in one basket is rather pointless, since there are enormous differences between the performance various LA countries, and the often face different challenges.
"The problem is with the kind of governments we have.In Latin America a lot of people believes in some kind of old fashioned socialism, and in the entrepreneurship and managerial role of the State. It`s a real tragedy!"
Yes, many of them believe in the central role of the state, and they believe it for a good reason. In a lot of cases, the state is the only entity which can provide the necessary resources and institutional knowledge, not only to build or develop something, but also to maintain it. For example, the privatization of Argentine railways ended up in tragedy, reducing a number of towns into ghost-towns, while some state-owned enterprises flourish, for example the Brazilian Petrobras.
"The problem is with the kind of governments we have.In Latin America a lot of people believes in some kind of old fashioned socialism, and in the entrepreneurship and managerial role of the State."
Ironic: It is the newly-discovered "managerial role of the State" that is saving banks in the US, UK, etc. Otherwise, the stench of bankruptcy would be stinkier.
@Home412AD: Absurd. How can anyone MEASURE intelligence? The Research methodology stands that if it is not a quantitative study it becomes subjective by definition, therefore, it cannot be generalized. Even if these were created by the "smartest" people on Earth (I am sure they are not) these people become the limit to the "scale", a failure itself (Einstein did not fit the scholar system as many other). The so called geniuses on this Earth have not finished understanding the human brain. Even more, if humans were math equations we would have endless variables to account (wealth, genes, mental & physical health, life experience, opportunities,family situation, feelings, personal decisions,etc.). Regarding many people using IQ tests, history has endless examples of mistakes leaded by that primitive instinct "follow majorities to survive". Galileo almost got killed for thinking different than the "big potatoes" of his age. It is sad to find out there is always people who try to make up for their own insecurities and lack of accomplishment by writing diminishing comments towards women, ethnic groups, gay people, religious people, etc.

The economist: seriously, what is all this anti-southamerica thing?
@ Zerge - I think you have hit a core issue here. I think one may need to look at the context of the research. My understanding would probably link the Inter American Deveopment Bank's (IDB) research of the region as a whole to the concept of improving interconnection between the Latin American Nations in a bid to improve productivity. The article raises the concept of how it is expensive to bring products to port. If I look at one of the core functions of the IDB, building infrastructure, it would seem logical that the reasearch was done under the context of justifying improved infrastructure. The Economist has probably leaped on the article and many of us are probably left thinking, "Huh an economic study in a region where, for example, you have booming Colombia next to flaundering Venezuela?"
I cannot read this crap anymore. The Economist's biased, deficit-oriented, and racist comments are uncalled for. It is no longer meaningful to partake in these forums either. I'm not giving this magazine a penny, nor a second of my time any more.
I'm checking out.
Comparing the economies of two countries is hard; comparing the economies of entire regions (Asia vs. Latin America) is impossible; it's too much of a generalization.
Also, trying to pinpoint a single cause for productivity levels is also very difficult. Economies are multivariable complex systems, so explaining productivity levels in each one requires a complex answer, which was not provided by the article, and certainly not provided by the discussions on this forum regarding the IQ of nations.
Comments on productivity for S America could be applied to Wales N E England .It would provide an interesting article.
"The man (Stephen Jay Gould) is a paleontologist, for heaven's sake, one or two steps below an anthropologist. He deals in fantasy, not facts, and he is not respected in the science community."
You have just proven that you don't have the slightest idea about science. Stephen Jay gould is an accomplished Evolutionary Biologist and comparing Paleontology with Anthropology in some deranged scale is a hilariously absurd commentary taken straight from 19th century positivism. No wonder you completely missunderstand the theoretical limitations of the IQ concept. I imagine you also carry a device to measure the shape of people's heads?
In all seriousness, read something from this decade before you make assertions about the intelligence of an entire population. You are just embarrasing yourself.
Answer me this question.
Here in America, some americans with too much stereotype on their heads think asians have higher IQs than white or latin american people. Why is it that the majority of asian nations (taking out less than a handful that are doing better) are poorer in terms of per capita and quality of life than the all the west and the majority of latin american nations.
On behalf of all westerners that do not think like Home412AD. I would like to apologize to all our latin american brothers. Some of us just want to think we are better in some sort of way, that will make us feel happier or more complete in our otherwise not so happy life.
carriemboyer, your affirmation is contradicted by the fact that Brazil: (i) has a very religious population, being also the largest Catholic country in the world; but (ii) has known severe economic crisis in the past, despite this.
In fact, it might be exactly the contrary of what you say. I saw an interesting study the other day named "Average intelligence predicts atheism rates across 137 nations."
I don't know how trustworthy this study is, but it is certainly relevant for the matter. I personally think it makes a lot of sense, since it seems reasonable that mysticisms should be detrimental to technological and intellectual progress.
Any nation that is Godless becomes debauched, corrupt and inefficent. On the opposite end, note that Israel's economy has been significantly less adversely impacted by the global recession. "For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you [Israel] toucheth the apple of his eye."
—Zechariah 2:8
Home412AD, nobody is "trying and basing" their conclusions on the idea that there is no such thing as intelligence. That would be amazingly stupid. But the fact that "intelligence" exists doesn't imply that it is a single, scalar, measurable faculty - three characteristics that the concept of IQ requires.
By the way, you a.) haven't answered the question about Equatorial Guinea, and b.) keep rambling about how all the companies and blah blah blah in the world use IQ tests. That's factually inaccurate. Indeed, many of the companies that recruit extremely talented, very well educated individuals - say top consulting firms - don't go near those tests. As Led Zeppelin would say, ramble on, bro.
The Latinos economic straits is the results of being someone else backyard. Even the Brits come from afar looking for oil in the troubled water.
While I disagree with the racist remarks made in the comments, I think the intelligence question should be taken seriously. Not because of some racial limitation, but, rather, because of cultural limitations. As a Brazilian, I sometimes sadden myself with the fact that my country is mostly known for carnival, soccer, naked girls and the like. The saddening part is that this stereotype is quite fair, as far as the majority of our population goes. But then again, Italy's south is not very different -- nor very developed too with respect to the north.
So the important question might be this: is there some relation between these cultural influences and a country's technical development? I would really like to have a scientific answer this question, in case anyone around here knows.
On the other hand, it might be the case that every developed country is also full of detrimental cultural practices, but then saved by some kind of small enlightened elite... I often get this impression when, say, reading about Creationism support in the US, though I have never lived there to really know how pervasive these influences really are.
Latin American economies have managed to achieve some very significant breakthroughs, and many of them have made their way up from being commodity exporters to real knowledge-based economies. But many of these countries are quite large, therefore, the process of their evolution can be rather long. In that light, Home412AD looks like a person with a very low IQ, since he/she is incapable of simple deduction. For example, Argentina has exported nuclear reactors to Austrailia, EMBRAER from Brazil is the world's third largest producer of aircraft, most of the Latin American countries run their own space exploration programs. Even a relatively poor Latin American country, like Ecuador, has managed to do something like this, being the first in the world, with a puny budget: http://exa.ec/bp25/index-en.html
All these feats are accomplished by people whom you are calling "biologically defective". Their time is coming, and despite the fact that some of them still have a long way to go, I am quite sure that they will make it.
Funnyabalone - one interesting thing about credit and currency crises, which as you say have indeed slammed Latin America in the past, repeatedly, is that the region is weathering this one far, far better than Europe and the US. Our financial systems were, in general, more (better?) regulated and had higher capital requirements; the result is that we're generally solvent at a time when several European countries need bailouts.
Home412AD, since you clearly like to read, may I suggest "The Mismeasure of Man" by Stephen Jay Gould. Unlike the classics you suggest, this one actually has tremendous scientific rigor (professor Gould was one of the most respected members of Harvard's faculty, and a statistical paleontologist very well versed in both qualitative and quantitative research methods). Shockingly, his findings suggest that to think "IQ" is a feature of societies is disingenuous at best. Which, you know, kinda calls into question the idea that we Latin Americans are poorer simply because we're dumber.
Anyway, as a Latin American with an "IQ" that potentially rivals your own (actually, forget that, I can't get near your 200+), I find your comment pathetic, insulting and unbelievably ignorant.
By the way, I wonder whether the rise of Equatorial Guinea to a GDP per capita higher than that of the US and the vast majority of Europe was due to a sudden, dramatic increase in their IQ (which no doubt would have been very low in those classic studies you cite) - due perhaps to exposure to mind-expanding radiation, or some other freak accident of nature. Or perhaps it just had to do with finding a whole lot of oil. Hmm, guess Lynn and Vanhanen may have some trouble explaining that one.

Gagne scores in return as Flyers win
Simon Gagne got very little sleep on a red-eye flight from Los Angeles to rejoin the Philadelphia Flyers.
NHL ACTIONTake a look at the best NHL photos from this week's games.
He should be able to get plenty of rest after a very successful return to the club on Wednesday night.
Claude Giroux scored 23 seconds in, and Gagne added a goal in his first game back with the Flyers since 2010, as Philadelphia rolled to a 4-1 win over the Washington Capitals.
Wayne Simmonds gave Philadelphia a 2-0 lead less than four minutes after Giroux's quick strike, and Gagne scored his first goal of the season in the second period, one day after being reacquired by the Flyers from the Kings.
''It felt almost like I never left,'' said Gagne, who added an assist. ''Just walking in the building before the game, knowing everyone. The nice welcome I got during the warm-up and after the first five minutes of the period. It's almost like coming back home.
''Everything started here.''
Max Talbot stretched the advantage to 4-0 in the second, chasing goalie Braden Holtby to the bench just one day after his home shutout of Carolina. Talbot's slap shot hit the camera inside the net and quickly ricocheted out.
''Fourth goal was mine to have, but I have to put it behind me and move forward,'' Holtby said. ''This is not what we wanted, obviously. But there are a lot of things we can learn from here.''
HOCKEY'S HOTTIESCheck out photos of the NHL's 2013 ice girls.
Ilya Bryzgalov made 23 saves and was in line for a shutout until Joel Ward tipped in his own deflection with 2:09 left to cut the Capitals' deficit to 4-1.
Gagne, who will turn 33 this week, was acquired Tuesday from the defending champion Kings for a conditional draft pick. He appeared in his first game after being a healthy scratch for the past five games with the Kings.
Gagne hadn't scored since Nov. 17, 2011 - a span of 28 games. He missed the final 46 games of last season because of injury.
He quickly gave a jolt to the Flyers.
''He's a guy that's well known here and well loved,'' Talbot said. ''It brought a lot of energy and passion to the game. He was making plays out there, so he definitely gave us a big momentum.''
A highlight video of Gagne's first stint with the Flyers was shown during the first period, officially welcoming the popular forward back to Philadelphia, where he spent his first 10 NHL seasons before being traded to Tampa Bay in 2010.
He seemed unaware of the video, at first, but then acknowledged the cheering crowd with a half-wave. Gagne received a louder ovation when he took a pass from Brayden Schenn feed and slammed a shot past Holtby for a 3-0 lead.
STAR GAZINGEven hot celebs love cool NHL games.
The Flyers have trailed 1-0 in 12 of their 20 games this season, but Giroux and Scott Hartnell combined to give them an early lead on Wednesday.
From his knees, Hartnell flipped the puck back to Giroux, who fired a rising shot past Holtby. It was the fourth time this season the Flyers scored in the first minute.
''It's great to have that lead right off the bat and keep it,'' Giroux said.
Hartnell, in his fifth game since returning from a broken left foot, added another assist on Simmonds' power-play goal. As Simmonds spun away from the net, he managed a backhanded flip that eluded Holtby.
Philipp Grubauer then made his NHL debut in relief of Holtby, and blanked the Flyers the rest of the way. Grubauer was called up on Tuesday from the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League.
The Capitals (7-11-11) lost for the third time in eight games.
''It was a dream come true,'' Grubauer said. ''I've dreamt about this since I started playing hockey, and it was amazing. I tried to step up and give those guys confidence and show the organization that I can do something, as well.''
Tempers flared with 24.6 seconds left when Flyers' forward Harry Zolnierczyk delivered a shoulder-to-chest, east-to-west hit on center Mathieu Perreault just inside the Flyers blue line. Both coaches said it was a clean hit, though Zolnierczyk was given a major penalty for kneeing.
ONE LAST GO-ROUNDTake a look back at the best fights from the 2012-13 season.
For the Capitals, it was another loss in their up-and-down season.
Washington failed to build on its win Tuesday night.
''It sure seems like that,'' Capitals defenseman Karl Alzner said. ''Hopefully, that's not the way it continues to go, but that does seem to be the trend. We're still not where we want to be completely, but we're getting back there. It's not a good loss, but hopefully it doesn't set us back more than one game.''
The Flyers (10-11-1) went 8-6-1 in February.
''We'd rather be 15-0, but we're not 0-15, either,'' Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said. ''I think sometimes you get too focused on the ones that you lose, and lose sight of the big picture.
''Certainly, there are things this month that we could've done better, but it was the first month that really put us behind the 8-ball.''
NOTES: Flyers D Erik Gustafsson left the game shortly after blocking a shot in the second period and didn't return. The team said he has a lower-body injury. ... Gagne's goal was his 260th with the Flyers. ... Holtby made his eighth consecutive start for the Capitals. He was supposed to rest on Wednesday, but got the start because regular backup Michal Neuvirth was sick. ... Edmonton Oilers executives Kevin Lowe and Craig MacTavish watched the game from the press box.

Creativity Chain
The first poster writes down a name they love (ex: Ivy Pearl), and the next poster gets creative with the name and changes it up to fit their style (ex: changed to Iva Ruby).
Then, the next poster says which one of the variations they like the best. (ex: I prefer Ivy Pearl) You add a name at the end and keep the chain going.
I'll go first

Christopher Heine | February 15, 2011 | Comments
Levi's, 1-800-Flowers.com, and Amnesty International are early brand purchasers.
Have you been seeing your friends' faces in Facebook ads?
The Palo Alto, CA-based company's "Sponsored Stories" have begun popping up in the site's right-hand column of ads. The rectangular-shaped social-context promos were launched three weeks ago and can leverage Facebook profile pictures from those who "like" the advertiser as well as their word-for-word posts.
Levi's, 1-800-Flowers.com, Amnesty International, DonorsChoose.org, The Nature Conservancy, charity: water, and Malaria No More are among the early brands to leverage the format. Indeed, nonprofits seem to be testing the ad offering in considerable numbers.
Alyssa Rapp, CEO of the wine community Bottlenotes, appears in the 1-800-Flowers.com "Sponsored Story" seen in the gallery at left. Contacted by ClickZ, Rapp said she wasn't aware of appearing in the ad and commented about potential consumer/marketer reactions to the promos.
"As long as I have opted in by 'liking' the brand, I don't feel Facebook is overstepping by connecting the dots for my social graph," she said. "I do understand that some people are going to feel like it's over-reaching. But at the end of the day, when you 'like' a brand, it already appears on your newsfeed page… and this makes it easier in letting your friends know what you 'like.'"
Facebook users can set their privacy controls to limit when they appear in "Sponsored Stories." The promos are available to marketers on the site's self-service platform in a comparable manner to other ads, and are purchased on an impression- or per-click basis.
There are four types of "stories," from Facebook's perspective: "Like stories" depict users who have chosen to "like" a brand; "page post stories" contain posts/status updates from a business's page and are shown only to "likes;" "app stories" include messages between app users, such as video game players; and "check-in stories" consist of posts via the geo-social platform Facebook Places.
Will users appreciate "Sponsored Stories?"
Rapp said, "I don't spend 20 hours a day on Facebook… If I miss something that one of my friends 'liked,' you could actually argue the ad is a benefit to the user by serving it up. And as a marketer, I could certainly see potentially leveraging this new functionality in Facebook advertising."

IRS Security Faults Leave Taxpayer Data At Risk 42
from the your-tax-dollars-at-work dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Shameful that any company would fail at these basic tasks. It would take any competent admin very little time to compose policies that would effectively handle most of these. the others would require procedural changes but why would they continue to let the issue go if they know it's an audit exposure? (no pun intended)
From TFA:
For example, the GAO stated that the IRS continues to:
* use passwords that are not complex,
* ineffectively remove application accounts in a timely manner for separated employees,
* allow personnel excessive file and directory permissions,
* allow the unencrypted transmission of user and administrator login information,
* install security patches in an untimely manner
The only identity theft I've ever suffered is through the IRS. Supposedly four years ago someone else filed with my SSN.
It sounds to me like the identity theft itself wasn't through the IRS, but through some individual picking your SSN. It's not uncommon for an illegal alien to pick someone else's SSN when applying for a job. It happened to a friend of mine about 10 years ago and he only found out about it when he had a landlord or employer did a background check on him and found a referenced employer that he never worked for. (I think it was some womens abuse shelter and the employer or landlord only read the word abuse, and thought he was an abuser himself).
The problem you bring up I'm sure is entirely real, and it isn't addressed in any way by the GAO report. I'm FAR more concerned about this kind of thing than I am about the nonsense they bring up in the report.
Computers can figure out all kinds of problems, except the things in the world that just don't add up.

LGBT History Month Spotlight: Tammy Baldwin
October 8, 2012 by HRC staff
This post comes from HRC Editorial and Digital Media Intern Leanne Naramore:
As we continue to celebrate LGBT History Month this October, we are recognizing the tireless efforts of LGBT Americans past and present to achieve full equality for themselves and future generations.
One person who fits that bill is Wisconsin candidate for U.S. Senate Tammy Baldwin. Not only has Baldwin represented Wisconsin in the House of Representatives as an openly gay woman since 1998, but she is running for the U.S. Senate in the November election. If elected, she would become the first openly gay Senator in U.S. history.
Baldwin is a champion of LGBT equality for several reasons. The most obvious is that she has lived openly as a proud lesbian woman throughout her political career. Because she operates on such a highly public stage, Baldwin has become one of the most prominent faces of the LGBT community.
She was a key player in establishing the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus in 2008, the sole purpose of which is to repeal discriminatory laws and to achieve full equality for LGBT people. She has worked to end workplace discrimination, to win healthcare for all Americans, and to broaden the definition of hate crimes to include violence based on sexual orientation and gender expression or identity.
Her election to the U.S. Senate would mark a historic feat for LGBT Americans. HRC has endorsed Tammy Baldwin for many years, and we emphatically support her U.S. Senate run this November. To learn more about how you can support Baldwin's campaign from now until Nov. 6, please visit www.tammybaldwin.com/take-action/.
You can learn more about Baldwin and other pro-equality candidates for state and national elections at HRC's Election Center.

Ivanovic upset, Jankovic advances
MELBOURNE, Australia -- Ana Ivanovic's hopes of a return trip to the Australian Open final fell apart amid a barrage of mistakes Friday as Russia's Alisa Kleybanova ousted the 2008 runner-up with a 7-5, 6-7 (5), 6-2 victory in the third round.
When it was over, Kleybanova dropped to the ground on both knees, pumped her fists and blew kisses to the crowd. Ivanovic appeared to be nearly in tears as she walked off court, throwing a towel to someone in the crowd.
The Serb's loss came on a day that ethnic violence erupted between nationalist fans after Serbia's Novak Djokovic, the defending men's champion, beat Bosnian-born American Amer Delic.
One of several thrown chairs hit a woman and left her briefly unconscious. Insults and water bottles filled the air. Arrests were made, with dozens of people ejected from Melbourne Park.
While Ivanovic faltered, fellow Serb and No. 1 seed Jelena Jankovic advanced to the fourth round with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Japan's Ai Sugiyama.
With the victory Friday, Jankovic set up a match with 16th-seeded Marion Bartoli of France.
The jubilation was short-lived: Ivanovic found herself again down 0-3 in the deciding set and never caught up. Serving at 2-5, she fell behind 0-40. She saved one match point with a high, lunging volley winner before Kleybanova hit a forehand crosscourt that went untouched to end the match in 2 hours, 43 minutes.
Kleybanova, who reached the fourth round at Wimbledon last year in her third Grand Slam, dropped to her knees in relief and disbelief.
Olympic silver medalist Dinara Safina reached the fourth round for the first time in seven trips to the Australian Open with a 6-2, 6-2 win over Kaia Kanepi of Estonia.
The 22-year-old Russian took 4-1 leads in each set and ousted the 25th-seeded Kanepi in 66 minutes.
"There's a first time for everything. Twice I lost in the third round," she said. "I was like this today: 'That is the third time. Should be the luckiest one.'
"Actually, I'm glad I won very comfortable today," she said.
She broke into the top 10 last year for the first time and credits having a full-time coach and trainer for her improvement.
Safina, the third seed, has yet to win a Grand Slam singles title, although she reached the French Open final last year before losing to Ivanovic.
She also lost the Olympic gold-medal match to fellow Russian Elena Dementieva -- an outcome repeated last week in the Sydney International final.
Fellow Russians Vera Zvonareva and Nadia Petrova are also in the fourth round.
No. 7 Zvonareva beat Italy's Sara Errani 6-4, 6-1, and No. 10 Petrova advanced when Kazakhstan's Galina Voskoboeva retired because of back pain after losing the first set 6-1.

IT'S TWICE OR MORE POLLUTED INSIDE HOMES Series
IT'S TWICE OR MORE POLLUTED INSIDE HOMES Series
|Image from: http://www.onlywig.com/images/l/201305/wwa316-04.jpg
Hair is man's crowning glory, and that's why many hair products promise beautiful, shiny hair. Yet many users end up with falling or damaged hair due to toxic chemicals. The toxic chemicals in shampoo also contribute to the pollution at home, which eventually flows to the sewerage system. It is not really easy reading the ingredients of personal care products, while burdened with a long grocery shopping list. As mentioned previously in Body Care, there are many ways to get educated like perusing over websites that expose carcinogens in personal care products.
Hair is not just the attractive locks and curls, or the shiny, straight décor that people see. Its appearance manifests a person's health. Hair is attached to the skin, that's why it hurts when its strands are pulled. It has a specialized protein called keratin that serves as its protection from harsh wind, different seasons, rough handling, strong heat and the sun. On the other hand, the hair color depends on the natural pigment of the cortical cell called melanin. The hair, skin, nails, sweat and oil glands comprise the Integumentary System of the body.
The Integumentary System regulates body temperature, eliminates waste and functions as pressure and pain receptors. To function well, it needs the following:
1. Vitamins A, B Complex, C, E, D, biotin, folic acid, bioflavonoids, and pantothenic acid;
2. Minerals like silicon, calcium, fluorine, iron, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, iodine, copper, manganese, magnesium, and zinc;
3. Food - avocados, sea vegetables, cucumber, rice polish, sprouts;
4. Drinks – carrot/celery/lemon juice and cucumber/endive/pineapple juice;
5. Herbs – aloe vera juice taken orally or topical hair application.
Hair is important because it protects the head, in the same way the head shields the brain. According to Dr. Shiv Dua, writer of the book Hair Care, there are factors that affect hair health. Below are some factors that affect hair health:
1. Food has a direct effect on the mind and body. In Ayurveda, food is classified as:
a. Satvik food – These are food which give peace, calm, and purity of mind. These are cereals, butter, milk, cheese, curds, wheat, tomatoes, fruits and vegetables;
b. Tamsik food – These are food which induce darkness, and anger in the mind. These food include meat, onions, garlic, wine and tobacco;
c. Rajasvic food are food luxuriously mixed with masala, oil, and servings of different food varieties. Masala is an Indian black tea made with Assam and mixed with warming spices such as ginger and green cardamom pods. Spices like peppercorn, cinnamon, nutmeg, star anise and fennel seeds are also added to enhance its flavor. (Read: Tea Break Time for more information on Black, Oolong and Green Tea.)
2. Sleep and rest are very much needed to form new cells. Hair needs rest from all the combing, harsh winds, rain, storm, heat and cold;
3. Good blood circulation strengthens the hair. Water is necessary for blood circulation, digestion, healthy hair and body temperature regulation. Since the body consists of about 75% water, it is important to drink 10 to 12 glasses of water every day. (Read: Do you Drink Water Sip by Sip for more information.)
Hair care is not limited to the shampoo and conditioner one uses. It takes much more discipline to have beautiful hair. Below are some tips to name a few.
1. Do not drink carbonated drinks excessively because these makes the blood acidic. Acidity starves the hair from minerals.
2. A cold shower improves blood circulation and strengthens hair.
3. Tying hair too tightly causes breakage.
4. Brush and comb gently. Do not lend or borrow personal things like combs.
5. Massage hair before or after a bath. Use the tips of the fingers to separate hair when applying oil.
6. Apply oil when hair is dry.
7. When a strand of grey hair is pulled, 10 more strands will come out. It is suggested to just cut these grey strands near the roots.
8. Anxiety causes scalp muscle tension. This prevents nutrients from reaching hair follicles and is one of the leading causes of falling hair.
9. Using a hair dryer is harmful because of the hot air it emits. It is healthier to air-dry hair.
Now, here are some simple and natural preparations to enhance the crowning glory.
1. Aloe Vera can be:
a. Used directly on the scalp before taking a bath;
b. Made into a simple bottled mixture used for rinsing. It is composed of aloe gel, water and half a teaspoon of white natural vinegar. This mixture makes the hair soft and manageable. (Check out Aloe Vera for more information.)
2. Gugo is the traditional Philippine shampoo made of Gogo bark, which was used by our ancestors for soap, shampoo and laundry. Aside from having healthy hair, it removes dandruff and stops falling hair. There are 2 ways of using the bark. One may opt to;
a. Squeeze the Gugo in a dipper with water. When it makes suds, it means it is ready for application;
b. Make a simple bottled mixture with procedure like that of Aloe Vera. (Check Gugo for more information.)
3. Apple Cider Vinegar can remove dandruff. Just dilute it with warm water and apply on the scalp. Lemon can replace vinegar.
4. There are plenty of shampoo substitutes. Just beat an egg and massage the scalp.
After rinsing with vinegar, rinse with plain water. This makes the hair healthy and shiny.
5. Herbs can also be added in ordinary shampoo. Rosemary and lavender can be added for normal hair, while mint can be added for greasy hair as follows:
a. Infuse 6 tsp. of fresh (or 3 tsp. of dried) herbs of your choice in 1/2 cup of boiling water.
b. Cool and keep in the refrigerator.
c. Add 1 tablespoon to shampoo before every bath.
6. Mayonnaise can be used as shampoo since it has olive oil and egg. It can be left in an hour on hair before rinsing. Apple cider vinegar may be used for the rinse.
As natural beings, our hair needs natural solutions. There are many ways to enhance the crowning glory using the least or, preferably, with no synthetic chemicals at all. This will surely benefit people as a direct user, and their home, too, where chemical pollution moves around for some time because of the enclosed house walls. These natural and eco-friendly hair DIYs will be a welcome to our sewerage systems that will eventually flow into the creeks, rivers, seas and oceans of Mother Earth.

April 24 is set to be a scorcher of a day. Going by the Indian Meteorological Department's predictions for this week, the maximum temperature on polling day in the city will hover around 36 degree Celsius.
To ensure that the 13,000 plus polling officials who will be on duty in the city stay healthy and hydrated from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., the Election Commission, with the Chennai Corporation, has put in place a number of measures.
"Every polling booth will be provided with drinking water as well as packets of oral rehydration salts," said chief electoral officer Praveen Kumar. Additionally, each booth will have a first-aid pack and 108 ambulances will be on standby in case they are needed, he said.
Dehydration is the primary concern and local health centres will be put on alert, Mr. Kumar said.
With the blazing heat and the long hours, staying hydrated will be vital. "The first sign of dehydration is thirst, followed by dizziness. Cramping in the legs could occur and in some cases, the person could develop severe giddiness and faint.
Drinking a lot of fluids is essential and intake of salt is also vital," said S. Manjunath, a physician and former head of the general medicine department at Sri Ramachandra University.
Dr. Manjunath explained that elderly people and those on medication such as drugs for blood pressure were more vulnerable to heat strokes.
A senior Corporation official said the civic body would ensure that the premises of all polling booths were cleaned and all necessary facilities provided.
There will be a total of 3,337 polling booths in the three Lok Sabha constituencies in Chennai.
On Thursday, a 52-year-old polling officer in Miralkudi in Karnataka suffered a massive cardiac arrest at the polling station and passed away.

Crushed shell mulch?
echobellyMay 11, 2014
I just bought a house that has some borders that have been mulched with crushed shell. There is a row of italian cypress and some palmettos growing in it. Someone told me that the crushed shell makes the soil too alkaline which is already a problem here. I'm planning on raking as much of the shell away as I can and replacing it with wood chips. Should I add something to the soil to reduce the alkalinity? The cypress don't look too happy, lots of brown spots.

LAPD chief will seek ACLU input in use of new drones
The LAPD said it is putting together a team of privacy advocates that will include the ACLU to help craft policies
By Ruben Vives
Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck said Thursday that he would seek assistance from privacy and civil rights groups before he would consider using two unmanned aerial systems the department received from the Seattle Police Department.
His comments came as some groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, raised concerns about the use of drones by police. Beck said he's aware of those concerns and wants to address them.
"I will not sacrifice public support for a piece of police equipment," Beck said. "We're going to thoroughly vet the public's opinion on the use of the aerial surveillance platforms."
The LAPD said it is putting together a team of privacy advocates that will include the ACLU to help craft policies the agency might use should it be allowed to deploy the drones.
"I want to make sure their decision is factored into any policies," Beck said.
The department said it would seek approval from the Police Commission before testing the drones.
Although the department does not identify the unmanned aircraft as drones, officials said the machines would be useful during police standoffs, barricades or when officers are searching for suspects within a perimeter.
Even though the department has no official drone program, it does have other unmanned vehicles, including a remote-controlled robot, to inspect suspicious packages.
When the LAPD announced the unmanned aircraft were coming last month, officials stressed the department would deploy them for "narrow and prescribed uses" and not to keep watch over an unsuspecting public.
The L.A. County Sheriff's Department recently was criticized for flying a small airplane equipped with high-powered cameras over Compton for several days without alerting the city's residents.
Hector Villagra, executive director of the ACLU of Southern California, issued a statement: "The Los Angeles Police Department asked the ACLU of Southern California to meet and articulate our concerns about the privacy issues raised by the use of drones. We agreed to do so. The department also asked if we could recommend any other privacy experts they might consult. We agreed to do that as well. However, at this point the ACLU SoCal has no plans to participate in any process to craft policies for LAPD's use of drones, nor have we been formally invited to lead a team of advocates to help craft such policies.
"As the ACLU has previously said, we question whether any marginal benefits of drones programs justify the serious threat to privacy they pose."

Tulipa greigii? can I save them?
If these tulips are Tulipa greigii Easter Surprise, I had them once before as a sort of bonus bulb, but they did not come back. Should I dig them up and then chill them. I want them to naturalize. I feel that the parrots will not be worth trying to get to rebloom, but the Tulipa greigii being a sort of more lowly plant, maybe it will be possible to get them to rebloom? By lowly, I mean "high dutch tulips" never rebloom in my climate, no matter what.
Here is a link that might be useful: photo of tulips on flickr
I went through the digging,storing and chilling tulips several times before deciding it just was not worth the effort for the rewards. Whether they will bloom again next year I found, depended on how big the bulb was. My experience was that anything less than 12 cm or 4 7/8 inches circumference could not be expected reliably to bloom. Many tulips will produce a lot of "splits" and will seldom if ever make a bulb large enough to bloom again. Al
No one has told me yet if they are tulip greigii. I would be more likely to try to save them if they were. I dig up and discard. It is not hard to dig up because my soil is very rich with compost. If I do not dig up and discard, they come back as leaves only next year, then not at all in the following years. The idea of saving the larger ones is a good idea. Another idea is trading them away to someone who lives back east. I can mail bulbs if they are free from soil. But, they are so cheap to buy. One can buy that same pack from home depot. They were 50% off on the day after thanksgiving at home depot. I got something like 8 bulbs for about 2.50.
Brent and Becky this year does allow for 5 Easter Surprise Tulipa greigii for five dollars. Last year I am sure it was a 10 or 12 minimum. But, they changed and that is good. I may get some to see if they can naturalize. Maybe I have two right now, so I am debating digging up and refrigerating vs leaving in the ground.

Eric was only here for one night and I regret that I didn't have much chance to chat with him. He was pleasant, friendly, neat and all around a great guest. I highly recommend him to other airbnb hosts.
I really recommended Erik to every airbnb host. He left my house in perfect condition. No problem with check in and check out. He will welcome everytime in my place.
Erik and his girlfriend was very friendly and comunicative couple. They were clean and considerate and respectful of everything in the flat. Of course I recommend them to all airbnb hosts around the world!
Erik and his girlfriend Danielle were warm, interesting, easy going guests and we would love to have them back! Erik is a great communicator and we didn't mind the six pack he left in the fridge either :)
Erik was a wonderful guest. He was considerate and friendly and I enjoyed having him stay here. He worked long hours and came in quietly. I would recommend Erik to anyone.
I enjoyed meeting Erick & his girlfriend at our tree house. They were fine guests to host. Very easy to communicate with, took wonderful care of our place. Left it clean and very respectful folks. Would surely recommend them to future airbnb hosts.
Erik stayed at my place on a busy holiday weekend. The house was full and he and his companion had a lot of activiites. We really didn't visit much, but it was nice to meet and chat a bit here and there. When Erik arrived at the door, there was a wild turkey in my yard, which was ironic-not just because I live in the center of town, but because I had just heard that turkey hunting season had ended the previous day. That was funny. To me anyway. The room was left in perfect condition and everthing was great!
Erik and Daniel were lovely guests, and thoroughly enjoyed their short stay. Erik communicated clearly before and during our stay, they were grateful and gracious guests, and they left the apartment in lovely condition. I would gladly welcome them back any time and recommend them highly to other hosts! Shawn Mahshie, Light Landing Waterfront Loft Apartment, Deale, MD.
Erik was a great guest in every way while he stayed at my Ruby Room for a few weeks! It was truly a pleasure being his host.

Little sprouts
The featured Farm to School items at WDC Elementary Cafeteria this month were bean sprouts. Many students had never experienced this very tasty, crunchy, white, mostly water vegetable. Sprouts are low in calories and a good source of nutrition grown using only water. They arrived in Wadena from Houston, Minn., the far southeastern corner of the state through Russ Davis Wholesale from the River Valley Sprout farm.
