Today, the rich often don't wait as long as others for organs since some of them go to countries such as India, where they can arrange for transplants in the underground medical sector, and others (such as the late Steve Jobs) manage to jump the queue by having residence in several states or other means. For example, people age 45 to 49 live, on average, eight additional years if they remain on dialysis, but they live an additional 23 years if they get a kidney transplant
Welcome to UNTERM
It is being put on the Internet to facilitate the efforts of people around the world who participate in the work of the United Nations but do not have access to the Secretariat's intranet. The inclusion of an item in this database - which is simply a linguistic tool - should not be construed as an endorsement by the United Nations of any particular position, entity or programme
The shocking assassination of opposition leader Boris Nemtsov in February, on a bridge beside the Kremlin, has unnerved the shrinking band of independent journalists still working in Russia. I could not read or note every worthy article that was published last calendar year and I haven't included any paywalled articles or anything published at The Atlantic
Jim Bob 5pts Its people like this guy that actually bring Americans together and reaffirm our unflinching loyalty to our country, each other, democracy and freedom. Flash mobs around the country are pointing to a basic political and social unrest which is probably a result of the economic collapse, the USA loss of its triple-A rating being only one symptom
Its indecently warm air slaps you in the face when you first step from the plane and its airport is the last place to buy sunburn remedies before heading home. Get your mouth watering over rainbows of tropical fruits, succulent seafood and a fusion of multicultural flavours, which will make you wonder what paradise you've landed in..
Could they be taken back and improved again? Embrapa has started to do that, though it is early days and so far it is unclear whether the technology retransfer will work. Not all family farms are a drain on the economy: much of the poultry production is concentrated among them and they mop up a lot of rural underemployment
References to non-CDC sites on the Internet are provided as a service to MMWR readers and do not constitute or imply endorsement of these organizations or their programs by CDC or the U.S. Among the 49 states and DC reporting vaccination coverage data, 42 used their immunization information system (IIS) as at least one source of data for their school assessment
Those who have struggle to make sense of it, not least because so much detail has yet to be filled in: of the 400 rules it mandates, only 93 have been finalised. Examples range from the merely annoying (eg, a proposed code for nurseries in Colorado that specifies how many crayons each box must contain) to the delusional (eg, the conceit of Dodd-Frank that you can anticipate and ban every nasty trick financiers will dream up in the future)
Rainforest Action Network
Only once the community leaders come back to the village, often after hours of walking through the forest, do they have time to sit together and talk about how to protect their land. The coastline is hugged by a few big cities, towns and smaller villages, home to communities that rely on the surrounding rice fields for food and livelihoods
The Powell Memo (or the Powell Manifesto): Text and Analysis
The first essential is to establish the staffs of eminent scholars, writers and speakers, who will do the thinking, the analysis, the writing and the speaking. But most of the essential freedoms remain: private ownership, private profit, labor unions, collective bargaining, consumer choice, and a market economy in which competition largely determines price, quality and variety of the goods and services provided the consumer
In addition, education spending cuts have cost an unknown but likely large number of additional jobs in the private sector as school districts have canceled or scaled back private-sector purchases and contracts (for instance, purchasing fewer textbooks). States used emergency fiscal relief from the federal government (including both education aid and other forms of state fiscal relief) to cover a significant share of their shortfalls through the 2011 fiscal year
How Team Obama Justifies the Killing of a 16-Year-Old American - The Atlantic
There are two remarkable things about the ensuing exchange, which eventually turns into a discussion about a dead 16-year-old kid: First, it's vital for the uninitiated to understand how Team Obama misleads when it talks about its drone program. Of course, both Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan were, at the very least, traitors to their country -- they had both gone to Yemen and taken up with Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, and al-Awlaki had proven himself an expert inciter of those with murderous designs against America and Americans: the rare man of words who could be said to have a body count
The company is almost unimaginably rich and stocked with talent; it is hitting its peak of influence at a moment when networks and computing power and artificial intelligence are coalescing in what many technologists describe as (to borrow the Valley's most popular meme) "the second machine age." In addition, it is trying hard to develop another huge core business to augment its massive search division. Some of the Xers I met, however, think of the X as representing an organization willing to build technologies that are 10 years away from making a large impact
The most and least lazy states in America - The Washington Post
Oklahoma, where it's one to 929, is second; West Virginia, where it's one to 978 is third; and Kentucky, where it's one fast food restaurant per 1,051 people, is fourth. So for instance, the state with the lowest average daily TV-watching time per day was Wyoming, with 123 minutes, while the state with the highest number was West Virginia, with 217 minutes
Myers-Briggs: Does it pay to know your type? - The Washington Post
She would go on to conduct more of her own studies, mostly in medical and educational settings, through the time the Educational Testing Service acquired Myers-Briggs for research use. Even more compromising, according to Grant, is the fact that Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Myers created the framework in their living room before doing any robust scientific research, rather than the other way around
This page shows the names and, where possible, faces of those killed since January 1 2015, as well as other details about the manner of their deaths and the status of any investigations into the incidents. We have gathered information from official databases and crowdsourced counts to create a full and detailed view of killings by law enforcement agents in the US
Three years ago, Britain's biggest supermarket, Tesco, was persuaded to join the only organisation that just might halt the chopping, the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil. A researcher with Survival International, the London-based human-rights organisation, returned to the UK last month with transcripts of interviews with the Penan conducted deep in the jungle
It would provide states with matching funds, so that they could set up their own programs for three- and four-year-olds, while modestly increasing subsidies for infant and toddler care. Jane Addams, the Progressive Era activist, was horrified to learn that all over Chicago, children were being left alone in tenement homes, morning till night
