Other observers pointed to the opening of a new train line linking Beijing with Lhasa in July 2006 as a turning point. Whereas previously the only access to Lhasa had been through a bone-shaking, two day bus ride or an exorbitant plane ride, the cheaply priced train has doubled the number of tourists entering Tibet and made access much easier for tens of thousands of Chinese seeking to cash in on a local economy juiced by billions of dollars of investment from Beijing. Chinese already outnumber ethnic Tibetans in Lhasa, and many Tibetans felt that they might...
Given the limits of the available data, however, the paper was unable to say how much vitamin D the children were getting from sources other than supplementation, or whether they were deficient to begin with. But Zipitis says children who had rickets, a bone disorder caused by extreme vitamin D deficiency, "were at a much higher risk of developing type 1 diabetes - I think about three times higher than the rest of the population, which would suggest that the higher the level of vitamin D in your body, the less likely you are to develop type 1 diabetes...
...been linked to several health problems aside from rickets and type 1 diabetes, including other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis, along with some rare but serious heart problems like cardiomyopathy.

Compared with restaurants, trucks have a lot less overhead, don't require managing a staff and focus on lunch, freeing chefs from working late nights and weekends. "I was a chef instructor here in Seattle for a year...
...thing is assured: partial female nudity. The movie opens in a beachy Caribbean setting in which half-naked women splash around in crystal-clear water. Everyone’s having a good time, right? Immediately the scene cuts to a beachside menage-a-trois. Talk about throwing a bone to the audience. The movie eventually collapses into a sloppy mess. The dialogue is inane and stale, and the attempts at witty punch lines and dry humor consistently fall flat. The generic suspense movie soundtrack also gets boring fast. Few of the characters in this story have any on-screen chemistry...
