			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/2727/penguins0ub.jpg" width="300" align="Right" style="margin:10px" alt="The penguin is one of the most rugged pilgrims.  They have adapted to the coldest lands on Earth.  Global Warming might challenge the penguins' future."  title="The penguin is one of the most rugged pilgrims.  They have adapted to the coldest lands on Earth.  Global Warming might challenge the penguins' future." />All people have heard about rising temperatures.  Some sources say this crisis results from faulty science.  Other speakers claim Global Warming is developing today.  An accurate explanation could exist somewhere in the middle.</p>
<p>e process have failed to rouse some listeners from their absorbed ideas. We get totally absorbed by our own lives to picture how we might  as individuals  help influence rising temperatures. Nonetheless, several nations and organizations have suggested that concerned people have to do everything they can to minimizesociety&#8217;s energy use. As we reduce our energy consumption the less society needs to burn non-renewable fuels.</p>
<p>There are manufacturers who have considered the Global Warming concern to find new ways to reach out to consumers and build their revenues. In response to consumer demand, many SUV developers now seek more gas-saving vehicle concepts. Consumer machine manufacturers are placing emphasis on the energy savings their most recent items provide versus older appliances. And &#8212; you might be amazed to learn &#8212; there are house accessory builders which are also promoting their environmental change ideas to consumers. High end window makers have joined a growing number of industries including energy-reduction among the advantages of buying their products.</p>
<p>There are even a few enterprises that engage in custom window replacement.  Despite the fact that views most likely differ about quality, here is one example of a company which is trying to get the message out to inquiring consumers: <a href="http://news.penguinwindows.com/">Penguin Windows</a>, founded in northwestern US, has provided energy-saving windows direct to residential customers for just short of thirty years.  In the year 2009 Penguin promoted its energy-friendly message through a 25 year anniversary sweepstakes celebration. Referring to respected buyer satisfaction survey results, <a href="http://contests.about.com/od/currentcontestssweeps/p/penghome093009.htm">Penguin Windows</a> instructed its sales team to let people know how energy-inefficient windows may be losing them money.</p>
<p>Still, since there are various custom window manufacturers to browse, buyers would be wise to contact competing sellers and arramge good terms with each. Businesses such as <a href="http://www.sweepstakeslovers.com/home-garden/penguin-windows-summer-home-improvement-sweepstakes/">Penguin Windows</a> may or may not be the vendor for your home improvement needs. Do research before you make the purchase.</p>
<p>Reducing household expenses is important.  As consumers we are a major force in gross domestic product.  Nonetheless we have to plan for our future.  By holding the means for our later years we become prudent.  When wisely spending our resources we are also helping the environment &#8230; implying that is truly wise.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Studies performed on healthy, premenopausal women in the Netherlands determined that Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella (generic Yaz) suffered an enhanced risk of venous thrombosis as compared to non-users. The risks were increased as high as fivefold with oral contraceptive pills. These reports were published in August 2009. This was solely the beginning of the contention surrounding Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella and the resultant lawsuits to come regarding <a href="http://www.thelegaladvocate.com/cases/iyaz/">Yaz side effects</a>.
</p>
<p> It all began when women in their 20s and 30s were suddenly falling victim to ischemic stroke and heart attack after being put on Yasmin. Young, healthy individuals who were on this brand of birth control for as little as a few months were exhibiting symptoms of major side effects and serious health risks. Cardiovascular injury, organ failure, and blood clots are just some of the serious birth control side effects allegedly experienced by patients put on this oral contraceptive.
</p>
<p> Any women that have been injured as a result of taking Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella may be eligible to recompense. Many attorneys and legal aid agencies such as thelegaladvocate.com now offer assistance to anyone having side effects and health issues as a direct result of using Yaz contraception. Now that more women across the United States are coming forward and filing suit, the legal system is moving closer to offering justice for those who were misled by the birth control manufacturers and possibly their doctors.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mesothelioma is a rare cancer of the tissues that line people&#8217;s inside organs. Almost 2,000 new cases are pinpointed every year in the whole United States. Out of this group, almost75 percent of cases involve the sac that protects the lungs, referred to as the pleura. Also known as pleural mesothelioma. In around ten to 20 percent of instances, <a href="http://www.whitelung.org/">malignant mesothelioma</a> may concern the tissue that encloses abdomen organs, referred to as the peritoneal membrane, causing what is then acknowledged as peritoneal mesothelioma.</p>
<p>Being exposed to asbestos is absolutely the main risk factor for this uncommon disease. After asbestos exposure, the delay to development of the mesothelioma disease could be 2 to 4 decades. Because of <a href="http://www.epa.gov/iaq/asbestos.html">work introduction</a>, cancer of the mesothelium is almost three times more likely in men, than in women. Because the mass of instances goes up with your age, there are nearly ten times more cases in the males more than age 64 than in the males in their thirties.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been wondering lately whether most Americans hold their political views from the hard and exhaustive work of thinking critically, examining arguments, and evaluating discourse. Or, do they merely fall in line with what everyone else thinks within their particular political party? Are they so shallow or are they just incapable of stringing two critical thoughts together? At best, is all they are capable of doing is to follow their party&#8217;s thoughts rather than suffer harm to their social standing within their party&#8217;s little group by offering a dissenting view?</p>
<p>In other words, does the majority get its views from other peoplerecycled and rehashedwith nothing original? Man, I think, reasons nothing for himself. He has no first-hand originality. Is this not the extent and source of so much of the political hatred running rampant through America? Are they just people rehashing what they hear from within their little political circles because they are incapable of doing otherwise?</p>
<p>I contend that rational thought in politics is possible. I also contend that political opinion should be the result of engagement. It should be the result of engaging your God-given brain for something other than a hat-rack and learning the principles of critical thinking and applying them. To come up with an original opinion, coldly reasoned, without silly, fluctuating emotions interfering, one must stop caring what his fellow liberal might think of him. The conservative must close the door to what his neighborly conservative might think of his deviation from the party line.</p>
<p>From whence comes the conformity within political parties? Why will the liberal, no matter where you find him&#8211;even in Mexico where I live&#8211;be able to quote the same rehashed, nasty rhetoric? Where does it come from and just how do they do it? They say the same thingall of themwithout any evidence of it being the result of original thinking. When was the last time you heard a liberal say,</p>
<p>&#8220;You know, I think those crazy and wacky Christian conservatives are trying to set up a theocracy in America. Here is the paper I just wrote on this issue with all the pertinent evidence and references for my coldly reasoned conclusions.&#8221;</p>
<p>I am willing to bet that you have never heard a liberal utter anything close to this. However, you will hear his or her hateful speech flowing regularly.</p>
<p>(I wonder which of them could even define a theocracy? I have my doubts.)</p>
<p>So just how does the liberal come to believe such a thing? Why is it that you hear this theocracy silliness in all the highways and byways of the liberal&#8217;s thunderous hateful rhetoric of the Christian conservative (one of the many things, I might add)? Did it originate with the process of critical thinking? Did it come out of the minds of those who did the hard work of applying the rules of logic and rational thinking?  Was it the result of REASONED thought?</p>
<p>No, I think not. It comes from another power that both the liberal and conservative rarely resist successfully. It is the need to conform. Plainly and simply, it is the wish to conform to the thoughts of the majority within one&#8217;s political partychildish but painfully true and all too clear.</p>
<p>Our self-approval has its source in the approval of others. We crave it. We seek it. We will do anything for it even at the cost of thinking like reasoning people. We will sacrifice rational, critical thinking for the simple gratification of approval within our political party. If our liberal neighbor is bashing George Bush, we will do anything to NOT STAND OUT with a differing or dissenting view. We will conform no matter whateven if we know better. We will bash too.</p>
<p>All that needs to happen, no matter on which side of the political spectrum, is for an authority figure within that particular political party to go on television and say whatever. Everyone in that authority figure&#8217;s political party will accept what is said&#8211;that view&#8211;as gospel without so much of a nano-thought of examination. The need is so great for acceptance that all it takes is the most vague reference by that authority figure within a political party about something for the vast majority to accept it as set in concrete. There is no examination, no evaluation, no one standing up and saying,</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh wait, that doesn&#8217;t sound right.&#8221;</p>
<p>All it takes is someone of consequence, within the political party, to say somethingANYTHINGand the majority within that party accepts it without a thought.</p>
<p>This, by the way, is true of both the typical liberal and the conservative American. Neither party&#8217;s members are immune.</p>
<p>External pressures are always weighing heavily upon us. We cannot escape them. The pressure is always there tying to force us to do what it takes to receive the approval of others even at the cost of using our minds in figuring something out for ourselves. When the person of influence or consequence within our political party speaks, and the crowd roars with approval, we are there roaring the loudest so as not to be seen as nonconforming.</p>
<p>This, friend, is most pathetic.</p>
<p>Politics as well as morals emanate from external pressures and influences. They do not, usually, come from someone who puts in the work, completes the required struggle, and actually <I>thinks</I>  to come up with what is right.  I wonder more and more if the majority is even capable of doing this. Does any hope remain?</p>
<p>It is the desire for approval, even if it means sacrificing original thought or being seen as someone who does not roar with the crowd, that prompts man to do <I>whatever</I> simply because he does not want to be seen as a nonconformist. It is not as the result of seeking original thought that a man or woman gets his or her own private self-approval but in conforming to the group and thus receiving the group approval. <I>Indeed, the Hegelians have won</I>.</p>
<p>Why is someone a Democrat or a Republican? Is it from an original investigation that prompts one to stand above the crowd and say, &#8220;I am what I am out of personal conviction&#8221;? Or is it more likely that someone is a Democrat or a Republican as a matter of not wanting to be seen as a dissenter, a rabble-rouser, a nonconformist? Is it because someone  just wants to go with the flowwith what the group says is right or wrong.</p>
<p>The wish not to be outside the mainstream of one&#8217;s party is so strong that someone will do anything to keep from having to endure the &#8220;How can you believe such a thing,&#8221; when one dares offer a dissenting voice or position. To escape the disfavor, the menacing glares, the look of shame, the cold shoulder, man simply will stop thinking to win the approval within his party.  &#8220;He is with us&#8221;, means more than, &#8220;He thinks for himself.&#8221;</p>
<p>Man believes most pathetically that he thinks greatly on matters of political importance. He does not. He thinks all right, but with the mind of the group.</p>
<p>There is no independent thought, just conformity. He reads his party&#8217;s literature, listens to the political discussions on CNNbut, God forbid, never listens to Foxnews. He never listens to or even knows what &#8220;the other side&#8221; thinks. He is told what &#8220;the other side&#8221; thinks from someone of influence in his party. He is grossly ill informed.</p>
<p>He arrives at convictions drawn from the Hive Mind. There is not an original thought among them. He listens to and is controlled by a force greater than any of us&#8211;which both parties, <b>neither is excluded</b>, uses to their dastardly advantage</p>
<p><I>&#8220;It&#8217;s name is Public Opinion. It is held in reverence. It settles everything. Some think it is the voice of God.</I>&#8220;Mark Twain</p>
