...sure why we have that as an objective," says an HHS staff member, noting that while it makes sense to encourage gaps between births in developing countries, "malnutrition isn't really an issue here."

...their arms or legs in machinery at local factories set up by Hong Kong and Taiwanese firms. None has an artificial limb and all received derisory compensation, generally a one-off payment of around $1,000. Official figures show there are 13,000 serious work injuries each year in Bao An county, which includes Shenzhen. Zhou, a 46-year-old former brick factory worker, has taken 600 cases since 1997, winning payouts of up to $99,000. He may be the last hope for these workers: two other Guangdong lawyers doing similar work were murdered two years...

And, finally, Sinphar Supra Softgels: "Make yourself powerful during active sex!" After a few moments I opted for the "fast-acting" Nan Shi Xin Bao spray...
...people who pack the bar. Instead she can usually be found in the hotel restaurant Heartbeat, eagerly waiting for the end of her meal. That's when James Labe, the tea sommelier, will bring out a platter of 10 loose-leaf teas. Some neophytes might balk at offerings like Bao Jong, a honey-tasting Taiwanese tea, which goes for $10 a pot. Madden, 45, who only started drinking such teas in earnest two years ago, not only ordered a pot; she also handed Labe $120 for a 6-oz. bag to take home. "I know this sounds crazy," she says...
