@Gompo: Why?
The whole world could be more ecologically oriented, but the economic system in place does not adequately promote that - nor does the political system, which reflects the economic system.
But what ecological damage occurs as a result of things like bandwidth, etc.? I don't know much of anything about the effects of the internet on ecology.
No yahoo contact for 2-3 days now.
I think it's because much of the world is not too interested in Africans who die of malaria, and because malaria does not spread from human contact.
No results found.
Not quite what you'd call a jumping place, but not bad at all for rather standard US-type meals, not overly expensive, and with a really good salad bar that's cheap, or free with most dinner dishes after 5:30PM. You can get a bottle of beer or even wine if you really want to, but I've never seen anybody do it - maybe that's just to take out. Chinese Christian run, and they hire people with physical disadvantages, who are pleasant and helpful. Frequented by foreign (mostly North American) Christians and Chinese Christians - was started by a Canadian couple associated with Bless China (previously, Project Grace), who are no longer here, but no religious pressure or any of that. Steaks are nothing special, and I avoid the Korean dishes, which I've had a few times but which did not impress me.
As a shop and bakery, it's very good bread at reasonable prices, of various kinds (Y18 for a good multigrain loaf that certainly weighs well over a pound. Other stuff too, like granola and oatmeal that is local, as well as imported things, including American cornflakes and so forth, which some people seem to require.
Large portions, seriously so with the pizza, which is Brooklyn/American style, I guess. Convivial, conversational, good place to drink with good folks on both sides of the bar, especially after about 9PM.
Too bourgeois.
Really good pizza and steaks. The wine machine fuddles me when I'm a bit fuddled, & seems unnecessary. Good folks on both sides of the bar.
Ain't no flies on Salvador's.
Survey: Kunming adults happy, children stressed
发布者@Spartans: I don't know Gombrich, but the concept sounds like what we've all been up to our ears in for a very long time - has to do with the nature of money and the profit system, gone viral.
Kunming police now permitted to carry sidearms
发布者My impression is that 'rubber' bullets are pretty good at stopping people. Anybody out there with relevant military/police experience?
Qujing mine disaster lands two Yunnan officials in jail
发布者Notice recent events in Turkey. Carelessness about safety in mines is despicable.
Kunming opens province's first 'baby refuge'
发布者Actually, adopting babies has long been socially acceptable in China, it's just that most adoptions have traditionally been adopted from relatives or within villages, etc. But the long tradition of respect for extended family relations has had the flip side of suspicion of outsiders & their offspring. In the past, too, dire poverty has meant that women have had to give up children to those who could afford to take care of them. Dire poverty also contributed to infanticide, especially female infanticide. Chinese society has been through a lot.

发布者@Liumingke: Good point - better to share the babies we got than to keep producing more & more - world is getting crowded.
