...cotton growers are correct in saying they are not alone in the subsidy sweepstakes. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, rich nations spend more than $280 billion a year on agricultural "producer support." The U.S. is a piker compared with the European Union, which, when noncash payments and other aid are added in, spends more than three times as much coddling its farmers. World Bank chief economist Nicholas Stern estimates that a European cow receives $2.50 a day in subsidies, while 75% of Africans live on less than...
...There's no question that the multilateral system governing global trade remains inherently unfair, tilted in favor of the U.S. and the E.U., which have long set the agenda.

Putting condoms on correctly, keeping them in a good place (not a wallet), and treating condoms gently, are all tips provided by UHS for safe condom use. Condoms are distributed each week in the houses on Mondays...
...Beddoe visited a G.P., who suspected postnatal depression and handed her a trial pack of Zoloft. "His words to me were, 'They're completely safe, very effective and only work on people with depression.' If he were to take them, he said, they'd do nothing because they just correct chemical imbalance...
