Here's an interesting statistic: the second- highest rate of gun ownership in the world is in Yemen, a largely tribal, extremely poor country. The highest is in the United States, where there are almost as many guns as people: around 300 million guns for 311 million people.
But here's another interesting statistic: in the past 25 years, the proportion of Americans who own guns has fallen from about one in three to only one in five. However, the US, unlike Yemen, is a rich country, and the average American gun-owner has four or five firearms. Moreover, he or she is utterly determined to keep them no matter what happens.
What has just happened in Sandy Hook, Connecticut is the seventh massacre this year in which four or more people were killed by a lone gunman.
The fact that this time 20 of the victims were little girls and boys six or seven years old has caused a wave of revulsion in the US, but it is not likely to lead to new laws on gun controls. It's not even clear that new laws would help.
Half the firearms in the world are in the US.
The rate of murders by gunfire in the country is almost 20 times higher than the average rate in 22 other populous, high-income countries where the frequency of other crimes is about the same. There is clearly a connection between these two facts, but it is not necessarily simple cause-and-effect.
Here's one reason to suspect that it's not that simple: the American rate for murders of all kinds - shooting, strangling, stabbing, poisoning, pushing people under buses, etc - is seven times higher than it is in those other 22 rich countries. It can't just be guns.
And here's another clue: the rate of firearms homicides in Canada, another mainly English- speaking country in North America with a similar political heritage, is about half the American rate - and in England itself it is only one-thirtieth as much. What else is in play here?
Steven Pinker, whose book The Better Angels of Our Nature is about the long-term decline in violence of every kind in the world, is well aware that murder rates have not fallen in the US in the past century. (Most people don't believe that violence is in decline anywhere. That's why he wrote the book.) And Pinker suggests an explanation for the American exception.
In medieval Europe, where everybody from warlords to peasants was on his own when it came to defending his property, his rights and his "honour", the murder rates were astronomically high: 110 people per 100,000 in 14th- century Oxford, for example. It was at least as high in colonial New England in the early 17th century.
By the mid-20th century, the murder rate in England had fallen more than a hundredfold: in London, it was less than one person per 100,000 per year. In most Western European countries it was about the same. Whereas the US murder rate is still up around seven people per 100,000 per year. Why?
Pinker quotes historian Pieter Spierenburg's provocative suggestion that "democracy came too early" to America. In European countries, the population was gradually disarmed by the centralised state as it put an end to feudal anarchy. Only much later, after people had already learned to trust the law to defend their property and protect them from violence, did democracy come to these countries.
This is also what has happened in most other parts of the world, although in many cases it was the colonial power that disarmed the people and instituted the rule of law. But in the US, where the democratic revolution came over two centuries ago, the people took over the state before they had been disarmed - and kept their weapons. They also kept their old attitudes.
Indeed, large parts of the US, particularly in the southeast and southwest, still have an "honour" culture in which it is accepted that a private individual may choose to defend his rights and his interests by violence rather than seeking justice through the law. The homicide rate in New England is less than three people per 100,000 per year; in Louisiana it is more than 14.
None of this explains the specific phenomenon of gun massacres by deranged individuals, who are presumably present at the same rate in every country. It's just that in the US, it's easier for individuals like that to get access to rapid-fire weapons. And, of course, the intense media coverage of every massacre gives many other crazies an incentive to do the same.
But only one in 300 murders in the US happens in that kind of massacre. Most are simply due to quarrels between individuals, often members of the same family. Private acts of violence to obtain "justice", with or without guns, are deeply entrenched in American culture, and the murder rate would stay extraordinarily high even if there were no guns.
Since there are guns everywhere, of course, the murder rate is even higher. But since the popular attitudes to violence have not changed, that is not going to change either.

Last week, North Carolina-based Duke Energy announced the purchase of two photovoltaic (PV) solar projects in Arizona with a combined generating capacity of 20 megawatts (MWs). The two projects are the 5 MW Ajo Solar Project in southern Arizona and the 15 MW Bagdad Solar Project near Prescott, Arizona. Both projects were developed by Recurrent Energy, which has been owned by Sharp Corporation for just over one year now. The Ajo facility began commercial operation in September of this year and the larger Bagdad facility is scheduled to achieve commercial operation within the next few weeks. The electricity generated by the projects will be purchased by APS under 25-year power purchase agreements.
The projects are interesting for how they are integrated with nearby mining operations. The land for both the projects is leased from Freeport McMoRan and is considered to have minimal environmental value because it is located adjacent to large tailings piles. At least in the case of the Bagdad project, Freeport will buy the energy back from APS for use in its mining operations.
Both projects were designed and built by AMEC, and will be operated by AMEC for at least for the next five years under contracts with Duke.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

PBG-JFC call for more reforms entering homestretch of Aquino administration
26 May 2015 – The Philippine Business Groups and Joint Foreign Chambers, a coalition composed of 18 local and foreign business groups, urged the government to enact critical policy reforms aimed at ensuring inclusive growth through job generation, poverty reduction, and global competitiveness, entering the final 12 months of the Aquino administration.
The list of reforms was contained in a letter sent to the President and was the product of a month-long consultation process with the participating organizations.Updates
Philippines jumps 20 places to 46th place in WEF's 2015 human capital index ranking
14 May 2015 — Up by 20 places from the 66th spot out of 122 economies in 2013, the Philippines now ranks 46th out of 124 economies in terms of the World Economic Forum's (WEF) revised Human Capital Index (HCI). Based on the Human Capital Report 2015, the country's HCI also ranked sixth among 22 Asia Pacific economies. The Philippines likewise ranked fourth among 31 lower middle income economies as its scores across all age groups fared better than average among all countries in the lower middle income group.Updates
MBC Research Report examines Philippine trade structure and investment barriers
13 May 2015 – With the increasing importance of globalization and cross-border trade, questions are raised as to whether the Philippines is well-prepared to take advantage of this worldwide trend. Early this year, the Makati Business Club released a special research report entitled "Examining Philippine Trade Structure and Barriers to Trade and Investment," to analyze the country's readiness for increased global trade and possible participation in regional trade agreements. The study, authored by Dr. Marissa Paderon of the Ateneo de Manila University revealed that the while the Philippines is relatively more open now in trade and investment policy, it is weak in terms of investment and capital compared to other ASEAN middle-income economies due to inadequate government policy.Press Statements
MBC statement on the appointment of Atty. Andres Bautista as Chair of the Commission on Elections
5 May 2015 – The Makati Business Club applauds and fully supports the appointment of Atty. Andres Bautista as Chairman of the Commission on Elections. Atty. Bautista brings with him not only a reputation for demonstrated competence and integrity, he also has the added advantages of being appointed at the peak of his career and of possessing proven executive capabilities as manifested in his previous role as chief executive officer of a major property development group. All these qualities will serve Atty. Bautista extremely well in his new role. MBC is prepared to be of whatever assistance may be deemed appropriate. Our congratulations to Atty. Bautista and the new COMELEC commissioners.

Effects of a chayotte (Sechium edule) extract (macerated) on the biochemistry of blood of Wistar rats and on the action against the stannous chloride effect.
ABSTRACT The use of natural products as medicines has been growing in the entire world. There are concerns that these products may contain potentially toxic ingredients and contaminants such as heavy metals. The labeling of blood constituents with technetium-99m has been influenced by the presence of natural extracts. We evaluated the influence of a chayotte (Sechium edule) extract (100% v/v macerated) on the labeling of blood elements with 99mTc. The animals were treated with the extract during 15 days. Samples of blood were carried out with specific blood biochemistry kits. The present study analyzed the influence ofchayotte in the survival of the strain of Escherichia coli AB1157 submitted to reactive oxygen species induced by stannous chloride. There was a reduction of the lethal effect induced by stannous chloride on the survival of the E. coli culture in the presence of chayotte. The results indicated a decrease in the level of glucose and globulin The effect of the extract could be explained by its metabolic transformation inducing the generation of oxidant metabolites. The culture of bacteria when was treated with stannous chloride and chayotte simultaneously, the extract could be reacting with stannous chloride ions, protecting them against the oxidation avoiding the generation of reactive oxygen species.

ABSTRACT: TiO2 nanoparticle films were prepared by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, and subsequently, their surfaces were treated by TiCl4 and O2 plasmas, respectively. Experiments of phenol photodegradation show that the TiO2 film treated by O2 plasma presents much higher photocatalytic activity than that treated by TiCl4 plasma. X-ray photoelectron spectral analyses indicate that more active species, such as O2−, are formed on surface of the film treated by O2 plasma than that treated by TiCl4 plasma. The energy levels of the surface species and the photogenerated electronic transitions via these surface species are further investigated by surface photovoltage spectra (SPS) and electric field-induced surface photovoltage spectra (EFISPS).Colloids and Surfaces A Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects 07/2005; 262(1):181-186.

ABSTRACT: Nanosized Zr-doped TiO2 photocatalysts were prepared using the homogenous co-precipitation method from aqueous solutions containing TiOSO4 and ZrCl4 by urea as a precipitation agent, with subsequently annealing at various temperatures of 400–1100°C. Structural changes of the photocatalysts upon heating were studied by X-ray powder diffraction. Anatase-to-rutile phase transformation is shifted to higher temperatures in comparison with undoped TiO2. Spherical clusters morphology was revealed by scanning electron microscopy. Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry confirmed a Zr content of 0.8mol% in all samples. The band-gap energies were determined from diffuse reflectance UV–vis spectra. The spectral thresholds are shifted toward visible region, except for the unheated catalyst. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements revealed that the binding energy of Ti 2p3/2 electrons is not influenced by Zr doping. On the contrary, the binding energy of Zr 3d5/2 electrons is lower than that of Zr ions in ZrO2. Photocatalytic degradation of 4-chlorophenol was employed to test photoactivity of the catalyst. The photocatalyst annealed at 900°C has a 1.5 times higher degradation rate than the standard TiO2 P25 (Degussa).Applied Catalysis B Environmental 06/2007; 74(1):83-91.

Pure voices and a gift for entertainment from the Vienna Boys Choir — Review
The 515-year-old institution sent 24 of its finest emissaries — all no older than 14 — to sing a surprisingly eclectic program at the Stratford Summer Music festival.

The Vienna Boys Choir
At Stratford Summer Music, in Stratford, Ont. July 26, July 27 and July 28
STRATFORD, ONT.—The renowned Vienna Boys Choir lived up to its golden reputation in the first of four concerts for Stratford Summer Music at St Andrew's Church on Friday evening.
The 515-year-old institution sent 24 of its finest emissaries — all no older than 14 — to sing a surprisingly eclectic program, most of it with at least indirect ties to either Viennese or Austrian folk roots.
I suspect that these two-dozen fresh-scrubbed youths could have charmed the capacity audience had they sung the cars-for-sale ads on Craigslist. There's something irresistible about the rosy cheeks and pure, unbroken treble voices.
But there was so much more to the concert than this. These boys and their choirmaster-slash-accompanist Oliver Stech brought along some very impressive musicianship as well as entertainment value.
The serious classical listeners in the audience were treated to sacred pieces with Viennese roots by composers such as Dietrich Buxtehude, Mozart, the most famous of all Austrians, and even some more modern purveyors of Mittel-European choral works such as Zoltan Kodaly and Carl Orff.
Stech and his boys bowed to Anglo-Saxon tradition in four of Benjamin Britten's frolicsome Friday Afternoons songs before launching into two chestnuts from that immortal slice of Austrian cheesecake, The Sound of Music .
And nothing could have been more redolent of the mountainous motherland as some yodelly folk songs complete with five boys dancing in lederhosen , followed by a polka or three by a composer named Strauss.
These boys have been expertly trained, but there was also a humble humanity to the way the younger singers' eyes and attentions wandered from time to time.
They reminded us that these are flesh-and-blood boys — the same ones that would be playing pickup soccer or baseball on the neighbourhood green had they not fatefully found their way into this history-packed choir.
Each of the four programs at St Andrew's is different, with Tuesday night's final concert also including guest soloist, Canadian opera tenor Michael Schade — himself a product of a famous all-boy choir: the one at Toronto's St. Michael's Choir School.

I first began studying viola with Mr. K after fourth grade, after flaming out spectacularly at piano.
Exclusive: The flaming Lips – "Peace Sword (Open Your Heart)"
Frank Ocean, Kanye West, and the flaming Lips (along with many others) will be in attendance from June 12 to 15.
intensifying adjective, late 19c., from present participle of flame (v.). Meaning "glaringly homosexual" is homosexual slang, 1970s (along with flamer (n.) "conspicuously homosexual man"); but flamer "glaringly conspicuous person or thing" (1809) and flaming "glaringly conspicuous" (1781) are much earlier in the general sense, both originally with reference to "wenches."
mid-14c., from Anglo-French flaume, Old French flamme (10c.), from Latin flammula "small flame," diminutive of flamma "flame, blazing fire," from PIE *bhleg- "to shine, flash," from root *bhel- (1) "to shine, flash, burn" (see bleach (v.)).
The meaning "a sweetheart" is attested from 1640s; the figurative sense of "burning passion" was in Middle English. Flame-thrower (1917) translates German flammenwerfer (1915).
The hot, glowing mixture of burning gases and tiny particles that arises from combustion. Flames get their light either from the fluorescence of molecules or ions that have become excited, or from the incandescence of solid particles involved in the combustion process, such as the carbon particles from a candle.
Blatantly homosexual, esp in an effeminate way; swish: in hiding the fact that Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig were flaming homosexuals (1970s+ Homosexuals)
Very •Used as an intensifier, usually preceded by ''so'': I can't believe he'd be so flaming stupid (1895+)
(also flamage) The use of rude, strong, obscene, etc, language on a computer bulletin board, in computer mail, etc •This sort of verbal license is said to be common and apparently to be an effect of the medium itself (1980s+ Computer)

Amazing and learned guide- really created the background history which embellished the experience.
Our guide was great. Fun personality and VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. I knew a little about Dachau but presented with so much more knowledge of the camp and it's history. Travel to and from the site was easy. I would recommend any associate of mine to see the site and book with our guide. A worthwile experience for everyone.
Jonathon was on time, friendly, very informative, and did a fantastic job guiding us throughout the tour.
Very informative and thought provoking tour. A must see if in Munich. Highly recommended.
Dachau Concentration Camp Tour was a very moving experience, one not easily forgotten. Very interesting and an important lesson for my teenage children (not to mention ourselves). Sabri, our tour guide, was very informative and happy to answer our many varied questions. Not a "fun" day out but a sombre learning day. I would highly recommend this tour for all ages. It was an easy journey from the Marienplatz in Munich to Dachau.
This tour was amazing!
We visited Dachau. Our tour guide, Keith W. was amazing. He was very informative and helpful. I would definitely recommend this tour!
Very interesting tour. Jason did a remarkable job, answered all of our questions thoroughly, and shared past and present activities relating to the site. Well worth the time.
An unforgettable day. The museum at the site is exteremly well done, but we were also glad to have our guide (Sabri) to explain and answer all our questions. He was very knowledgeable and a lovely guy too. We were very pleased we chose this private tour.
We had a private tour and it was one of the most interesting, if solemn, parts of our trip to Europe. The atmosphere is subdued - like visiting a cemetery. Important lessons to be learned here.
Another great private tour with a super tour guide. He was very very informative and sensitive to all our questions. The tour was very sobering and very eye opening. I recommend everyone take this tour
Excellent tour Steve was very informative .
Keith our tour guide was fantastic. Recommended if you are in traveling through Munich. .
This tour was truly a memorable and moving experience. Our tour guide Keith was fantastic. He had so much historical knowledge about this period of time and the camp. He made this a very special day for us. I would highly recommend this tour and particularly our tour guide Keith
Our guide was excellent! He was very knowledgeable as well as respectful of the circumstances associated with Dachau.
Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Given the seriousness of the tour, he knew when to let us soak it in versus giving us a deeper explanation. Very moving tour, and our guide was excellent.
Our tour Guide Keith was great. He was prompt, knowledgeable, and personable. He made navigating the public transportation simple and the tour of Dachau memorable. It was a rainy day and a somber experience. I highly recommend the private tour. Keith went above and beyond.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable.
Our guide (Kevin) was so knowledgable. He answered all our questions and gave great details and insight. It was an emotional and moving afternoon. I highly recommend this tour. It is well worth the fee to get a personal guide.

Tour guide was very knowledgeable and able to answer all questions. Very good tour.
A very interesting tour, great guide
This was a very interesting tour and our guide was very knowledgeable. We had a small hiccup at first as the guide that was supposed to meet us at the train station never arrived, so we finally were able to connect with the contact that Viator had provided. He was never able to get in touch with the original guide, so helped us get on the train to Dachau and we met him and he did the tour. He was a certified Dachau tour guide and we saw everything we wanted to. He was able to answer our questions and gave us a great history of the camp and Nazi Germany. It was great - I would highly recommend it.
Our guide did not show. When we called the company, they tried to contact him but no success . We had to find another tour at the last minute. Not good!

A kid. A famous painting. A cool moment. A prison sentence?Have you ever done something you shouldn't have? But you're a good person and you don't think that it's going to cause any real harm? But then something bad happens and it turns out that you were wrong? Welcome to Matisse's world. Matisse has finally got the chance to come face to face with the work of his namesake, the great French painter Henri Matisse. The museum where his mom works as head of security is hosting a Matisse exhibit. Matisse thought it would be cool to hang his own artwork—a copy of a famous Matisse painting, Portrait of Pierre—on the museum wall just for a minute. But then a tour group thinks that it's a real Matisse. So now Matisse's painting hangs in a museum—while the priceless original hangs on Matisse's eccentric family's den wall. A sixth grader should not get caught up in a museum heist. But . . . what if he does?From the Hardcover edition.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Four Israel Defense Forces soldiers from the elite Golani Brigade were wounded by a bomb near the Lebanese border Wednesday morning.
Lebanon claims they intruded 150 meters (yards) over the border. The soldiers were transported to a hospital in Nahariya, where two remain in intensive care.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wished the men a speedy recovery while touring a military base in the Negev.
"There is something that unites the south and the north and all our other fronts, the IDF soldiers who protect us and our borders," Netanyahu said. "That's what happened last night. We shall continue acting responsibly to secure Israel's borders."
Meanwhile, the IDF Spokesman's Office issued a statement saying the incident took place during "overnight activity adjacent to the northern border," noting that it's "investigating the event and monitoring developments."
The border with Lebanon has been relatively quiet since the Second Lebanon War in the summer of 2010, though there have been some spill-over incidents from Syria's civil war along that border.
The Lebanese-based terror group, Hezbollah, has been increasingly aiding Syrian President Bashar Assad's troops, causing a stir among the Lebanese.
