Forget global warming and fuel shortages... the world is facing a CHOCOLATE crisis

The world is on the brink of a chocolate supply crisis thanks to instability in cacao growing areas and soaring demand in developing countries, an expert has warned. Professor David Guest of the University of Sydney's Faculty of Agriculture and Environment says farming methods used by cacao bean growers are in dire need of modernisation. He warns that global production of cacao, the raw ingredient in chocolate, must increase nearly a quarter by 2020 to keep up with demand from China and other rising economies. However, cacao growing regions remain some of the most undeveloped and unstable parts of the world and farmers face significant challenges in bringing production up to speed. ...

A Nation of Morons by Stephen Lendman Jefferson called an educated citizenry "a vital requisite for our survival as a free people." Madison warned that "A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy, or, perhaps both." Jack Kennedy said "The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all." In 1748, Montesquieu said "The tyranny of a principal in an oligarchy is not so dangerous to the public welfare as the apathy of a citizen in a democracy." In a June 1950 commencement speech, Boston University President Daniel Marsh said, "If the (television) ...

(Reuters) - A pit bull named Big Boi began menacing George and Shellie Zimmerman in the fall of 2009. The first time the dog ran free and cornered Shellie in their gated community in Sanford, Florida, George called the owner to complain. The second time, Big Boi frightened his mother-in-law's dog. Zimmerman called Seminole County Animal Services and bought pepper spray. The third time he saw the dog on the loose, he called again. An officer came to the house, county records show. "Don't use pepper spray," he told the Zimmermans, according to a friend. "It'll take two or three seconds to take effect, but a quarter second for the dog to jump you," he said. ...

(Reuters) Apr 20 - Starbucks said on its blog that it will stop using a natural, government-approved coloring made from crushed beetles in its strawberry flavoring by late June, bowing to pressure from some vegetarian customers. Starbucks has been using the extract in its strawberry "frappuccinos" and smoothies, as well as some deserts like raspberry swirl cake. "After a thorough, yet fastidious, evaluation, I am pleased to report that we are reformulating the affected products to assure the highest quality possible," Cliff Burrows, president of Starbucks U.S., wrote in a blog post. Instead, the coffeehouse chain said it plans to use lycopene, a natural, tomato-based ...

Vladimir Putin Could Secretly Be The Richest Person In The World

The life he leads makes it possible. But is Vladimir Putin secretly the wealthiest person in the world? The Bureau of Investigative Journalism's Maeve McClenaghan talks to a Russian political analyst who says that Putin owns shares in three major oil and gas companies: 4.5% of Gazprom, 37% of oil supplier Surgutneftegas and up to 75% of oil trader Gunvor. The analyst, Stanislav Belkovsky, says the Russian president could be worth up to $70 billion. "His estimate is based on information gained from confidential sources around the corporations, Belkovsky claims. But he is reluctant to reveal more," McClenaghan writes. TBIG's premise is that Putin's declaration of ...
Cop convicted for taking lunch salad bribe

A police officer from western Sweden who agreed to let a beltless motorist off the hook in exchange for a salad has learned the hard way there's no such thing as a free lunch. Instead, the officer has been convicted of bribery and sentenced to 20,800 kronor ($3,100) in fines, all because he asked for and accepted a 65 kronor salad. The conviction stems from an incident which took place in September 2011 when the traffic cop stopped a man who was driving without a seatbelt on a Gothenburg-area roadway. The officer duly informed the offender, a 50-year-old restaurant owner, that he would be fined 1,500 kronor for neglecting to buckle up in accordance with Swedish traffic laws. The ...

Two German gynaecologists will have to pay child support for twins they created via artificial insemination – because the biological father did not know anything about it. The district court in Dortmund ruled on Thursday that the doctors must bear financial responsibility for the five-year-old twins created from the frozen sperm which had been slated for destruction – because they did it without the permission of the father. The man, who portrayed himself as a victim of his partner’s deceit and likened the use of his sperm to a robbery, said he was relieved by the verdict. “There was no desire on my part to have children at that time,” the 40-year-old told the ...

Men horny in autumn, women in spring: study

A team of Norwegian researchers has concluded that women and men function differently when it comes to wanting sex, with women at their most active in the spring and men in the autumn. The research team at the University of Tromsø in northern Norway has concluded that female sexual desire is determined by the light and the sun. "Women follow the light with regards to sexual interest, but surprisingly men don't. Although both women and men reach their nadir in December," said Arne Holte at the University of Tromsø (UIT) to broadcaster NRK. Holte has studied the connection between sexual lust and light among young people in Tromsø, Alta and Hammerfest in ...

'Monolith' Object on Mars? You Could Call It That
Post Date: 2012-04-13 12:25:04 by PSUSA2
2 Comments
Amateur stargazers have discovered an intriguing object jutting out from the surface of Mars. The seemingly perfectly rectangular, upright structure, found in NASA images of the Red Planet, bears a striking resemblance to the monoliths planted on Earth and the moon by aliens in the classic sci-fi film "2001: A Space Odyssey." The object in question was first spotted several years ago after being photographed by the HiRISE camera onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, a NASA space probe; every so often, it garners renewed interest on the Internet. But is it unnatural — a beacon erected by aliens for mysterious reasons, and even more mysteriously paralleled in the ...
