http://polola.tigblog.org/ What's on the minds of young leaders from around the globe? en-us http://polola.tigblog.org/post/34637 I am really inspired by my friend who could turn his favorite occupation into business. He is also dreaming his dream but at least he is lucky enough to do what few people even dare to imagine: he is satisfying his heart’s desire. He is courageous enough to leave everything and to challenge the destiny to fallow his dream. He just figures that whatever we desire is out there, at the end of some rainbow, and all we have to do is to find it. Now he is living hundreds kilometers far from his home but he has found his happiness-he can smell the ocean.
I just want you to visit these web pages, even if you are not surfer I am sure for a moment you can smell the ocean while watching these incredibly beautiful pictures.

Tiene dificultades para escribir unas lineas si no se halla sentado ante su ordenador?
Roba horas al sueno para realizar busquedas en internet que, una vez completados, le incitan a iniciar otra nueva?
Le provoca algun tipo de zozobra disponerse a calentar su comida y descubrir que su horno microondas no funciona?
Quiza sin saberlo, usted padezca “tecnoestres” una nueva y todavia no suficientemente explorada patologia que alimenta en el paciente una dependencia progresiva de los artilugios tecnologicos. Se trata de una enfermedad de crecimiento subterreneo, cuyos primeros sintomas no afloran hasta que el paciente ha adquirido, sin siquiera saberlo, una adiccion. El mas frecuente y reconocible de estos sintomas consiste en desarrollar una sensacion de cotidiano fracaso, cuando nuestros actos no se acompasan a la velocidad del vertigo que impone la technologia; nuestra inteligencia nunca viajara a la misma velocidad que los impulses electronicos, nos convierte en frustrados perseguidores de una quimera. Se calcula que una de cada cinco personas padecen hoy esta patologia y uno de cada tres por la naturaleza de su trabajo.
Pero quiza el efecto mas estragante del tecnoestres sea la conciencia o complejo de inferioridad que instila en el enfermo, que llega a confundir el desasosiego abrumador que la technologia ha introducido en su existencia con una carencia personal que solo puede corregirse mediante una major dependencia technologica.

Pues el matrimonio surge, precisamente, para garantizar que la transmisión de la vida se acompañe de la transmisión de una serie de derechos patrimoniales.
Una pareja homosexual puede procurarle a un niño, seguramente, muchas parejas homosexuales podrán transmitir tanto o mas cariño a un niño que las heterosexuales, pero el niño es una persona nacida de la unión entre un hombre y una mujer. Pues, aunque algunos pretendan negarlo, los afectos que un niño entabla con su padre y con su madre poseen expresiones distintas.
Nunca puede haber discriminación por motivos raciales, físicos o sexuales, yo estoy por igualdad de derechos. Y pienso que todo el mundo tiene derechos a manifestarse, el que esta a favor o en contra de los matrimonios homosexuales.

friends. In a little, but nicely decorated room have
gathered around 30 talented persons, some of them were
very eager and others a little shy to show their
hobbies to a public. But warm and friendly atmosphere
of that fallЎ¦s evening made all of us open for
communication.
People were really interesting, some of them have read
lyrics for us, others have showed photos taken by
them, some-their pictures, especially graffiti was
popular, also we could see many hand made things like
cloth decorations, brooches and even self-made lamps
and of course we could enjoy music of some little
unknown bands.
The feelings were incredible that night; I understood
how many gifted people are around me, whom till that
day I havenЎ¦t noticed and havenЎ¦t suspected how
interesting they are. Unfortunately very often we
donЎ¦t know or better say are not interested in their
hobbies, expectations, feelings, dreams in this life
which they show through their works-lyrics, pictures,
music whatever. But we are too blind to see what our
friend wants to show us and too deaf to hear what s/he
wants to say.
On the other hand they are also afraid to show
themselves; the complex that public will not perceive
them is all the time with them, and I guess, you must
be a very strong and confident person to open yourself
to the people, who will give you both positive and
negative critics, very often not adequate one. But if
you have taken one step, you must take another,
sometimes even struggle for your recognition.
Yes, to be talented in this world is very hard, you
will face some hard work and serious problems, there
will be thousands of specific tasks for you to
fulfill. But I am sure all this worth to show people
incredible and special talent you have; to make them
better persons to some extent in the aesthetical
meaning, to open their eyes, to clear their ears and
force them to hear what are saying others and not only
their words.
I understand the window of opportunities is very
narrow, but itЎ¦s not close. Be brave and make
challenges to this world!! One person on this planet
wants for sure to hear from youѓє

Next week such party of gifted people will take place
again and I am very happy that people want to meet and
show themselves. I think it becomes a good tradition
:)

Yuschenko looked confident, answered questions based on topic, when Yaneckovech avoided answers and all the time accused today’s government, other persons but not himself.
I think people have seen the “real face” of Yaneckovech, his non professionalism.
After this debate I can say surely Yuschenko will win the election on December 26, if only Yaneckovech doesn’t make some tricks.
We pray God for the honest election on December 26, I hope new year 2005 we will meet in democratic state.

Michael Zimpfer, the head of Rudolfinerhaus, an Austrian clinic, has reported about the end of its investigation at a press conference.

"In the last 24 hours we’ve completed blood analysis, and we have no doubt. It is unambiguously a matter of an attempt at dioxin poisoning,” Zimpfer said.

According to him, the clinic's doctors approached the answer to this question with "great caution".

The doctor emphasized that this poisoning could not have been fatal. "This was a serious, but not deadly, illness. However, if no action was taken in a timely manner, it could have ended tragically."

Zimpfer reported that the levels of dioxin in Yushchenko's blood and tissue were 1,000 times higher than normal.

"It is absolutely not difficult to administer such a dose in a soup containing cream or sour cream. I base these comments on the level of fats," said Zimpfer, adding that tests had shown that dioxin was given to Yushchenko orally, that is through the oral cavity.

Currently, the dioxin levels have been returned to normal. Zimpfer said that Yushchenko's poisoning was likely "intentional".

“The criminal investigation does not fall under our jurisdiction, but there are suspicions about involvement of a third party,” said Zimpfer.

As Dr. Mykola Korpan explained, Yushchenko's blood was previously taken for analysis, whereas this time the clinic sent samples to an Amsterdam hospital, where a new analytical method of dioxin testing is in use.

Korpan added that, for the sake of diagnosis' objectivity, the Rudolfinerhaus clinic collaborated with England, France, and Germany during the analysis.

Korpan stressed that Yushchenko is fully able to work and only requires treatment, "which can be provided in an ambulatory way".

To the question of when the poisoning took place, Zimpfer replied that Yushchenko was initially admitted to the clinic on September 10th of this year and that the poisoning apparently occured five days before that "or in that time interval".

As reported by deputy Oleksandr Tretyakov [from Yushchenko's Our Ukraine party - A.M.], who is currently in Vienna, the clinic's specialists "sent Yushchenko's blood work to different countries and reached the same conclusion - this is poisoning".

"They are fully convinced that this was dioxin poisoning, and that the quantity of dioxin was less than one milligram," Tretyakov noted, adding that the primary symptoms of dioxin poisoning are "damage to skin and the organism's internal organs."

He also reminded that, at the beginning of Yushchenko's illness, his liver had swelled to "twelve times" its regular size.

According to Tretyakov, those present at the Vienna press conference, aside from Zimpfer and Yushchenko's doctor Mykola Korpan, also included "two of Austria's main liver and blood experts". This means specialists from clinics other than Rudolfinerhaus were involved in making the conclusions.

Referring to the doctors, Tretyakov said that Yushchenko's life is presently not in danger and that he plans to return to Ukraine shortly.

"Doctors said that nothing threatens his life at this moment, the organs have more or less returned to normal, insignificant enlargement of the liver," Tretyakov informed noting that the treatment of the skin on Yushchenko's face "will last quite a long time".

"But this does not require stationary treatment and, given proper nutrition and proper treatment, after a long interval of time his face will return to normal. Of course, some signs will remain," said Tretyakov.

Analysis has shown that Yushchenko has chloracne - a type of adult acne, which is explained by the manifestation of poisonous chemical elements. Treating it takes two to three years, says Rudolfinerhaus's dermatologist Hubert Pemberger.

For your reference: Dioxins are a large group of ***chloronated hydrocarbons***. These colourless crystals with a melting point of 750-1000 degrees Celsius cannot be solved in water. They have a special property of bioaccumulation, which means they collect in the organism. These compounds are very chemically inert and very strong, with a long half-life.

Dioxins can be called "ecological dirt" and are by-products created during synthesis of certain herbicides, cellulose production, electorysis processes during nickel and magnesium production, as well as iron and copper smelting, scrap iron recycling, aluminum production, oil refining, burning of chlorine-containing compounds, machine oil, gasoline, trash, etc. They are environmental pollutants.

All dioxins are highly-toxic and the "leader" of this group - 2,3,7,8-tetrachlordibenzo-p-dioxin exceeds in terms of toxicity such poisons as hydrocyanic acid, strychnine, curare and only yeilds in this respect to botulism, tetanus, and dyphteria toxins.

Its maximum allowed dose is 10 to the power of -12 grams (0.0000000000001 g!) per one kilogram of solids or one litre of liquids.

An approximate fatal dose of dioxin for humans is 70 micrograms per kilogram of body weight.

Human contact with dioxin due to industrial pollution, food contamination, or industrial accidents results in skin disorders, digestive disorders, liver fibrosis, pancreatic fibrosis, progressive arteriosclerosis, immune system degradation, and disfunction of the thyroid gland or other hormonal systems.

Dioxin poisoning causes headaches, the loss of hearing, taste, and smell, eyesight disorders, lower limb weakness, muscle and joint pain as well as sleep disorders, depression, fits of unprovoked rage, and even reproductive disorders.

Secondary effects of dioxin poisoning include, first of all, the risk oncological illnesses - cancers of the liver, thyroid, and prostate as well as Hodgkin's lymphoma (a type of blood cancer). Endocrine gland disfunction also takes place, which leads to disorders in substance exchange. In the last few years, there are reports that dioxins can accelerate the aging process.

Anyone can simply determine whether the polymers in packaging and toys contain chlorine. Take a copper wire and strip one of its ends, then wrap in the "investigated" polymer: if a green tint is observed in the flame during burning, you are dealing with a polymer containing chlorine. And, thus, "dioxin-hazardous".

It has been determined that someone attempted to poision him.

Michael Zimpfer, the head of Rudolfinerhaus, an Austrian clinic, has reported about the end of its investigation at a press conference.

"In the last 24 hours we’ve completed blood analysis, and we have no doubt. It is unambiguously a matter of an attempt at dioxin poisoning,” Zimpfer said.

According to him, the clinic's doctors approached the answer to this question with "great caution".

The doctor emphasized that this poisoning could not have been fatal. "This was a serious, but not deadly, illness. However, if no action was taken in a timely manner, it could have ended tragically."

Zimpfer reported that the levels of dioxin in Yushchenko's blood and tissue were 1,000 times higher than normal.

"It is absolutely not difficult to administer such a dose in a soup containing cream or sour cream. I base these comments on the level of fats," said Zimpfer, adding that tests had shown that dioxin was given to Yushchenko orally, that is through the oral cavity.

Currently, the dioxin levels have been returned to normal. Zimpfer said that Yushchenko's poisoning was likely "intentional".

“The criminal investigation does not fall under our jurisdiction, but there are suspicions about involvement of a third party,” said Zimpfer.

As Dr. Mykola Korpan explained, Yushchenko's blood was previously taken for analysis, whereas this time the clinic sent samples to an Amsterdam hospital, where a new analytical method of dioxin testing is in use.

Korpan added that, for the sake of diagnosis' objectivity, the Rudolfinerhaus clinic collaborated with England, France, and Germany during the analysis.

Korpan stressed that Yushchenko is fully able to work and only requires treatment, "which can be provided in an ambulatory way".

To the question of when the poisoning took place, Zimpfer replied that Yushchenko was initially admitted to the clinic on September 10th of this year and that the poisoning apparently occured five days before that "or in that time interval".

As reported by deputy Oleksandr Tretyakov [from Yushchenko's Our Ukraine party - A.M.], who is currently in Vienna, the clinic's specialists "sent Yushchenko's blood work to different countries and reached the same conclusion - this is poisoning".

"They are fully convinced that this was dioxin poisoning, and that the quantity of dioxin was less than one milligram," Tretyakov noted, adding that the primary symptoms of dioxin poisoning are "damage to skin and the organism's internal organs."

He also reminded that, at the beginning of Yushchenko's illness, his liver had swelled to "twelve times" its regular size.

According to Tretyakov, those present at the Vienna press conference, aside from Zimpfer and Yushchenko's doctor Mykola Korpan, also included "two of Austria's main liver and blood experts". This means specialists from clinics other than Rudolfinerhaus were involved in making the conclusions.

Referring to the doctors, Tretyakov said that Yushchenko's life is presently not in danger and that he plans to return to Ukraine shortly.

"Doctors said that nothing threatens his life at this moment, the organs have more or less returned to normal, insignificant enlargement of the liver," Tretyakov informed noting that the treatment of the skin on Yushchenko's face "will last quite a long time".

"But this does not require stationary treatment and, given proper nutrition and proper treatment, after a long interval of time his face will return to normal. Of course, some signs will remain," said Tretyakov.

Analysis has shown that Yushchenko has chloracne - a type of adult acne, which is explained by the manifestation of poisonous chemical elements. Treating it takes two to three years, says Rudolfinerhaus's dermatologist Hubert Pemberger.

For your reference: Dioxins are a large group of ***chloronated hydrocarbons***. These colourless crystals with a melting point of 750-1000 degrees Celsius cannot be solved in water. They have a special property of bioaccumulation, which means they collect in the organism. These compounds are very chemically inert and very strong, with a long half-life.

Dioxins can be called "ecological dirt" and are by-products created during synthesis of certain herbicides, cellulose production, electorysis processes during nickel and magnesium production, as well as iron and copper smelting, scrap iron recycling, aluminum production, oil refining, burning of chlorine-containing compounds, machine oil, gasoline, trash, etc. They are environmental pollutants.

All dioxins are highly-toxic and the "leader" of this group - 2,3,7,8-tetrachlordibenzo-p-dioxin exceeds in terms of toxicity such poisons as hydrocyanic acid, strychnine, curare and only yeilds in this respect to botulism, tetanus, and dyphteria toxins.

Its maximum allowed dose is 10 to the power of -12 grams (0.0000000000001 g!) per one kilogram of solids or one litre of liquids.

An approximate fatal dose of dioxin for humans is 70 micrograms per kilogram of body weight.

Human contact with dioxin due to industrial pollution, food contamination, or industrial accidents results in skin disorders, digestive disorders, liver fibrosis, pancreatic fibrosis, progressive arteriosclerosis, immune system degradation, and disfunction of the thyroid gland or other hormonal systems.

Dioxin poisoning causes headaches, the loss of hearing, taste, and smell, eyesight disorders, lower limb weakness, muscle and joint pain as well as sleep disorders, depression, fits of unprovoked rage, and even reproductive disorders.

Secondary effects of dioxin poisoning include, first of all, the risk oncological illnesses - cancers of the liver, thyroid, and prostate as well as Hodgkin's lymphoma (a type of blood cancer). Endocrine gland disfunction also takes place, which leads to disorders in substance exchange. In the last few years, there are reports that dioxins can accelerate the aging process.

Anyone can simply determine whether the polymers in packaging and toys contain chlorine. Take a copper wire and strip one of its ends, then wrap in the "investigated" polymer: if a green tint is observed in the flame during burning, you are dealing with a polymer containing chlorine. And, thus, "dioxin-hazardous".

As you got up this morning, I watched you, and hoped you would talk to me, even if it was just a few words, asking my opinion or thanking me for something good that happened in your life yesterday. But I noticed you were too busy, trying to find the right outfit to wear. When you ran around the house getting ready, I knew there would be a few minutes for you to stop and say hello, but you were too busy. At one point you had to wait, fifteen minutes with nothing to do except sit in a chair. Then I saw you spring to your feet. I thought you wanted to talk to me, but you ran to the phone and called a friend to get the latest gossip instead. I watched patiently all day long. With all your activities I guess you w ere too busy to say anything to me.

I noticed that before lunch you looked around, may be you felt embarrassed to talk to me, that is why you didn't bow your head. You glanced three or four tables o! ver and you noticed some of your friends talking to me briefly before they ate, but you didn't. That's okay. There is still more time left, and I hope that you will talk to me yet. You went home and it seems as if you had lots of things to do. After a few of them were done, you turned on the TV. I don't know if you like TV or not, just about anything goes there and you spend lot of time each day in front of it not thinking about anything, just enjoying the show. I waited patiently again as you watched the TV and ate your meal, but again you didn't talk to me.


Bedtime I guess you felt too tired. After you said good night to your family you popped into bed and fell asleep in no time. That's okay because you may not realize that I am always there for you. I've got patience, more than you will ever know. I even want to teach you how to be patient with others as well.

I love you so much that I wait everyday for a nod, prayer or thought or a thankful part of your heart. It is hard to have a one-sided conversation. Well, you are getting up once again. And once again I will wait, with nothing but love for you. Hoping that today you will give me some time. Have a nice day!



Your friend, GOD

Because what about me, I guess there is too much immigration in the world. Why so many good, qualify workers should go abroad.
