Aegean style accompaniment to policy days in Ankara
Besides its breathtaking and stunning natural landscape, the Aegean region is also known for its diverse culinary tradition, centuries-old art prevalent throughout the region and deeply embedded in the life and culture of the people of the region. For Mehmet Dani, the Justice and Development Party (AKP) anakkale deputy, this culture is an indispensable part of his life because anakkale, a sea town located on the coast of the Dardannelles, and all its districts boast their spectacular natural attractions as well as typical Aegean specialties including a variety of fishes, seafood, hot and cold appetizers, salads, herbs peculiar to the region, olive and olive oil dishes. Dani's favorites thus comprise a fish and olive oil-dominated menu and he mostly prefers the places in Ankara where he can find the familiar tastes of his hometown.
Mansour El-Kikhia: Market downturn a wake-up call to US
The stock market turned sour this week and, in the process, all economic indexes lost hefty percentages of their values. Indeed, all the gains amassed this year vanished in a matter of hours. Markets are constantly subject to gains and losses, and most economists believe these types of corrections ultimately mature economies, as well as investors. So why is this instance different? The answer is very simple. It is a wake-up call to American policy-makers that they need to internalize and prepare for more serious future downturns in the market. This week's downturn began in China's relatively young stock market, which has been growing at a phenomenal rate. The growth has been so rapid and lucrative that many Chinese took out loans to invest in their stock market with the belief that in mere months, they would make hefty profits.
TV Time Linked to Poor Nutrition
Orlando, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Kids who sit in front of the tube longer are more likely to consume sugary drinks and extra calories. These habits could lead to obesity. Researchers at Harvard Medical School surveyed mothers of 1,203 children enrolled in a childhood nutrition study in Massachusetts. Watching television was associated with increased consumption of junk food and decreased consumption of healthy foods, like fruits and vegetables. Researchers found, for every hour increase in TV viewing each day, 3-year-old children consumed more sweetened beverages and roughly 46 more calories each day. Although 46 calories may not sound like much, it can add up over time, particularly for a 3-year-old. Previous studies have attributed weight gain in American children in recent years to the addition of just 150 calories per day, said Matthew Gillman, M.D., senior author and associate professor of ambulatory care and prevention at Harvard Medical School.
US government settles on design for new nuclear warhead
WASHINGTON: The Bush administration is taking a major step toward building a new generation of nuclear warheads by selecting a design that is being promoted as safer, more secure and more easily maintained than today's arsenal. A team of scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory will continue with designing the weapons design in anticipation of having the first warheads ready by 2012 as a replacement for Trident missiles on submarines. The new weapons program, which has received cautious support from Congress, was immediately criticized by some nuclear nonproliferation groups as evidence the government wants to expand nuclear weapons production, not move toward eliminating the stockpile. Critics also maintain that it sends the wrong signal around the world by pushing a new warhead, although characterized as a replacement for existing ones, at a time the United States is trying to curtail nuclear weapons development in North Korea and Iran.
