China re-opening tiger trade again?



According to the article on http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6745497.stm
China consideres a vague suggestion to reopen tiger trade again, which caused consternation all over the globe. Dissuading them from doing so appears to be imppossible since they have already launched a clear concept supported by facts and figures. Despite their claim that it is mainly for the sake of medicine, thus human future, they still plan to breed and house 5000 tigers on farms, which is more than the whole tiger population world-wide. As far as endangered species are concerned, I believe they should keep their beary ideas for themselves. What worries me is that once there is no official prohibition of tiger breeding, it might soon come that needy natives will want to take the biscuit in the struggle to survive.
As far as the credibility of the information is concerned, obvioulsy the politicians try to squelch the media due to the non-ubiquity of the tigers in the wildness.

don't drunk and drive!

There was an article in the Slovene magazine Ona about the drunk youth who belts out in the streets at hight. This is a typical fodder of all public discussions on how to solve the aforementioned problem. The journalist tries to include some opinons of different celebrities from the political scene, but does not succeed. The first one is equicocating a lot abut what measures are going to be taken in order to tackle this and the written answer of the second politician is dotted with digressions.
I strongly believe that what causes the most consternation in the society are young teenagers under the influence of alcohol below the age of 12 or even 10. Despite the deviations to the norms is our society tolerated to the certain point, one must agree with me that everything has its limits, so does alchol consumption. Although we've heard about different useful measures to be taken ad nauseam, there is not enough put into practice. Th government always procrastinates with legislation, so do the bar owners with checking the IDs.

Bread and butter or enyoment?

An article about jobs in general and tipps on this topic intiate me to summon up some of the most important tipps.

Firstly, everybody should think deeeply about their personal traits as well as their wishes. What kind of businness would you like to do? Mainting law and order or doing the washing-up? Comparing facts and figures of the economic market with your own wishes will give you an idea how high are your chances of achieving whatever imaginative job you would like to do.

Secondly, entrepreneurship might seem attractive at first, but you have to consider all pros and cons and what way of life does that brings to you.

Thirdly, try to specialize in a particular field. It is even more promising if that is a field where experts are few and far between.

All in all, it is of major importance to do your best in achieving your success and remain grounded. Constantly doing somebody else a favour would not help you make aprofit. Good luck!

Martin Strel - Amazon 2007

A Slovene marathon swimmer Martin Strel has succeed in swimming more than 5000 km long Amazon river in approx. 70 days. Doctors declared he has returned from this extremely exhausting route safe and sound.

In my opinion, that kind of challenge demand your whole mind and soul as well as physical strength. Broadly speaking, you do not make any noticeable progress in the first few days. In addition, such ordeal is a real touch and go considering the great peril lurking in the river in the forms of crocodiles and piranhas. To top it all, you have to do your duty no matter what it takes once you start such expedition. I believe, he deserves everyboy's admiration.

pharmacy lobbies

I' ve read an instructive article about pharmacy lobbies the other day and I managed to scribble the main points on a pice of paper. So, here it goes:
A lot of successful pharmacy companies are often implicated in financial scandals due to the fact that they pay their own scienties to "proove" their medicine to be in line with standards or that this medicine really cures a person's illness. What is more, nowadays it is almost impossible to acquire objective information as well as impartial advice on the topic of cancer due to pharmacy lobbies. In other words, the majority of information you pick up from everyday's news are đ misleading. So, therefore trying to be up-to-date in that way has really no intrinsic value. Sad, but true.

BBC about Slovenia

While searching the web, I´ve found an article on the BBC about Slovenia. Even though it is not up-to-date . it was writtten in January, I belive it is worth reading it as there are not often articles about Slovenia published on the BBC - I guess this was the last one. so thea say Slowenia is a country with spectacular mountains, thick forests and a short Adriatic coastline, also enjoys substantial economic and political stability.
So some facts:Slovenia has a rumbling dispute with Croatia over sea and land borders dating back to the break-up of Yugoslavia.

FACTS
Full name: Republic of Slovenia

I like the fact, that life expectancy of women is higher that of men, cause consequntly I have more chances to get retired :) my boyfriend probably wont:)

What´s in the news?

I´ve read an article on the BBC, that the Iranian community in the US and Canada is very keen on e-petitions as a form of protest.
The latest issue to grip Iranian expatriates is the Hollywood blockbuster 300. According to the protesters, it projects an "irresponsible" and "distorted" image of ancient Persia. Iranian bloggers started their campaign against the film a week before its opening.
Iranian bloggers started their campaign against the film a week ahead of its opening.
Bloggers were offended at the way in which the Persians have been shown in the film and the way the battle of Thermopylae has been narrated.
The journalist also mentiones the fact, that some bloggers and commentators have opposed the petition against 300 on the grounds that there are bigger battles to fight.
