Sep 30 2009
Posted by Sally as Featured Articles, News, News Features
Do you consider yourself to be a charitable person? I know a lot of people who have made it their personal goal to do good deeds on a regular basis. They do it not because they want to glorify themselves, but because they value helping others.
At any given point in time, there will always be someone who could use your help. Right now, I cannot help but write about the plight of the people in the Philippines. The effects of Typhoon Ondoy (International name: Ketsana) have been ...

Posted by Sally as In the News, News, News Features
Which country has the fastest Internet connection? If you are thinking the United States, think again! The Communications Workers of America (CWA) recently conducted a survey to rank the countries of the world based on the speed of their Internet connection. The results were published in a report, and guess what? South Korea ranked number 1 with the average download speed of 20.4 megabits per second!
Compared to that speed, the United States lags far behind at only 5.1 mbps. In fact, the US ranked only 28th. ...

Hybrids seem to be spending a lot of time in the spotlight these days, don’t you think? But have you seen or heard of this sculpture that is a different kind of hybrid that is taking the Internet by storm? If you haven’t, then that picture should catch your attention at the very least.
So this is what has been going around the Internet, mainly through e-mails: this picture of a sculpture which is a juxtaposition of humans and dogs. I know that dogs are supposed to ...
Something quite new from Iran today, they have released official reports that they have cloned a goat. Cloning in biology is the process of producing populations of genetically-identical individuals that occurs in nature when organisms such as bacteria, insects or plants reproduce asexually. The female goat, named Hana, was born early Wednesday in the city of Isfahan in central Iran, said Dr. Mohammed Hossein Nasr e Isfahani, head of the Royan Research Institute.
Isfahani says the main aim in cloning the goat is to produce medicine to ...
Have you heard about the "Passover Coke"? Well apparently this is the kind with the yellow bottle cap distinguishing it form the regular white or red capped one. What's special about the Passover Coke is that hi-grain quality sugar is used in it to replace the artificial sweeteners. You're right to say it's the sweet sweet Coke kind made specially by the bottlers to observe the Passover festivity.
The special Coke, which isn't made with the forboden corn syrup, is only available in two liter bottles for a limited ...
This is a rightful request for Egypt to appeal that a national be brought back to its possession. The picture that you see is that of a "3,000-year-old wooden coffin illegally smuggled out of Egypt more than a century ago. Egypt's chief archaeologist said Sunday, March 22, 2009, that an official request will soon be filed with U.S. authorities to return the wooden coffin which belonged to a member of the 21st Dynasty, which ruled over Egypt from 1081-931 B.C.".
It seems this treasure is quite a catch to its current "owners", but ...
This is a little "too odd" for me. As US unemployment figures steadily rise (8.1% currently) we see a small "employment boom" in the casino industry. Yes, betting it seems have become a one "last resort" activity to cash in. I read from CNN 2 days ago that an engineer who lost his job this January is now in line hoping to get one of the 90 available slots for a casino dealer job.
He says ""I was angry. I think everyone gets angry," says Goldsmith, 60, recalling ...
Would you purchase this unrestored Superman comic book for US$400,000? I don't know any who would make the purchase, specially with worldwide recession BUT for the ultra-rich-collector he doesn't see it as an expense. No, no, no... he would probably see this as US$1 Million in say 2-3 years time. It's risky... but some are born to jab risk over and over again.
CNN reports that "After being hidden away for years, a copy of the original "Superman and Friends" comic book will make a comeback -- at a price of about ...
Prince Charles turns 60 this Friday. Happy birthday and may you have many more. As the Prince of Wales, Charles has made huge contributions to humanity. He has turned a silent role into something that has spurred many worthwhile causes around the world.
CNN today reports that he now becomes the longest waiting heir to the throne. Royal tradition says that he can only become the king when her mother passes away or she steps down from her throne. Queen Elizabeth will host a party for Prince Charles this Thursday at the Buckingham Palace. The ...

Savings Or Pay Off Credit Card Debt?
