2007-07-13 21:31 NOT EVERYTHING IS KOSHER AT SO-CALLED KOSHER SLAUGHTER HOUSE
Before you get started, stand warned, if you are not Jewish there are parts of this article you are likely to just not get. Also, many of you will simply wonder why I bothered with all the religious stuff. The last paragraph of this "introduction" will give you some idea of the reason for that. Earlier this week PETA filed a formal complaint with Sheridan County Attorney Jamian Simmons asking her to prosecute the Rubashkin-owned Local Pride kosher slaughterhouse in Gordon for apparent violations …

2007-07-07 21:31 Tanzania: the implications of sending refugees home
The Head Heeb looks at the social and economic implications of Tanzania's decision to expell refugees : "It's hard not to sympathize with Tanzania, which has done far more than its share as a refugee host country. Repatriating half a million refugees prematurely, however, will expose them to an uncertain future, disrupt regional economies, and possibly reignite many of the very conflicts from which they fled."

On Wednesday the United Nations Population Fund released an insightful report - State of World Population 2007: Unleashing the Potential of Urban Growth - detailing it's research on the future of global urbanization.
