Reading your report was like reading a list of the personality traits associated with each sign of the zodiac. Hitting upon one so-called truth (e.g., Leos are generous) does not make the whole concept true. As for using historical figures and celebrities to prove the theory, I'll bet that for every person who fits, there are 10 who don't. Life throws too many variables into the birth-order mix for there to be any hard-and-fast rules. Physical and mental disability, family finances, divorce - even looks and talent - play a part in the development...
...proposed reforms aim, too, to tackle what many consider the CAP's most egregious element: the generous flow of aid to the largest farms and the wealthiest landowners. While most of the CAP budget is dispersed as direct aid to farmers, most of that goes to the largest farmers.

In 2006, big drug companies doubled R&D investment in China and India over the previous year, to $2.2 billion. Nearly all of that went into China, thanks to generous government support and strong infrastructure. Beijing wants to attract more than 2% of the world's R&D budget, or about $10 billion...
...airline's goal is to make you forget you're flying at all. In business class, the seats not only are generous but also transform into the longest and widest lie-flat beds in the sky (with privacy screens for protection from nosy neighbors). Each passenger gets an on-demand entertainment system (no more waiting for your film choice to begin). Unlike other airlines, SIA almost never debases the value of its upper-class seats by granting free bump-ups, even to its frequent flyers...
