Dead. This man is dead. Jdimytai Damour was killed on Black Friday, 2008, at a local Walmart in New York by being trampled. Crazy, deal seeking mothers and fathers did not stop cramming into the doors so their child could have the latest trending toy that would be out of style in three months.

A quote from Yale University professor, Kelly Brownell, did the unthinkable and connected the obesity epidemic to tobacco stating, “as a culture, we’ve become upset by the tobacco companies advertising to children, but we sit idly by while the food companies do…

dollar funds from Chinese banks to make the acquisition in cash if required. Because SZLN had raised approximately US$90 million equity funds in late 2006 and had accumulated profits in 2006 and 2007, its liabilities–assets ratio had decreased from approximately 70 per cent to 50 per cent over the 2006-2007 period. This financial slack provided the company with a degree of flexibility to take on this opportunity. Nevertheless, the future cash needs of PEM would need to be considered before…

Described as pioneers and often a subset of culture, miners developed a distinctive ethos, which defined them and was passed down from generation to generation. This principle of miner brotherhood dictated acceptable practices including: the labor-intensive day-to-day functions, the risks associated with carving into nature,…

vitamin D), antioxidants (e.g. vitamin E), and mediators of cell signaling and regulators of cell and tissue growth and differentiation (e.g. vitamin A). The largest number of vitamins (e.g. B complex vitamins) function as precursors for enzyme cofactor bio-molecules (coenzymes), that help act as catalysts and substrates in metabolism. When acting as part of a catalyst, vitamins are bound to enzymes and are called prosthetic groups. For example, biotin is part of enzymes involved in making…

Because conflicts are an integral part of human interaction, one should learn to manage them: to deal with them in a way that prevents escalation and destruction, and arrives at new,…

When the country initially gained its independence from Britain in 1960, expectations were high that Nigeria would become an economic heavyweight in Africa. With abundant natural resources and a large population, it seemed the stage was set for success. However, despite earnings of more than $500 billion from oil sales during the period 1970 to 2007, the country still suffered from extreme poverty, illiteracy, and high debt.
