...vocal minority believes that we're bad guys and all we do is pollute. That's totally inaccurate. Dow Chemical in the last two decades has been a leader in sustainability. I make the case that if Dow weren't around, clean water would be an impossibility. Our founder discovered a way to liberate chlorine from salt. Today a villager in Africa carries pots 12 hours a day to and from river streams to bring often contaminated water to her family. But she does not have access to chlorine. So how can we enable ways to give that village access...
...wealthy Bostonians who sought a tranquil resting-place for the dead, and a vibrant park-ground for the, well, non-dead. Over the years, the cemetery has become the home turf for some of New England’s best and brightest, from Massachusetts senator and vocal abolitionist Charles Sumner to 19th century landscape painter Winslow Homer. But even with all those skeletons lurking below, the cemetery’s well-manicured lawns and gravestones make the place more sedate than scary. But it’s still the perfect destination for a late fall Halloween stroll. And if you?...
...Lashing out at Kim's pariah regime was a relatively easy call for Abe, who has profited by using Pyongyang as a punching bag before. The Prime Minister might still be an ordinary Diet member if he hadn't raised his profile by becoming a vocal advocate for Japanese abducted by Pyongyang?an emotive issue in Japan after North Korea admitted to the kidnappings in 2002. Kim's bomb test was another political gift of sorts. "We are convinced that Kim could be a supporter of Abe," says a half-joking Tsuyoshi Yamaguchi, the shadow foreign minister for the opposition...
...dated moments. Other tracks sound surprisingly modern, such as the knife-like electric bass of Miroslav Vituous and screeching soprano of Shorter on the live track “Surucucú”. The West African-inspired “Badia” features Zaminul on oud, melodica, mzuthra, vocal, West Africk xylophone and acoustic piano, and creates a unique and more importantly compelling sound from its worldly inspirations. Other slower songs such as “Three Clowns,” “The Orphan,” and “Dream Clock” find Shorter...
...horrendous situation in Darfur [Oct. 2]. He failed to mention the role that Muslim countries and leaders could play in pressuring Sudan to open up Darfur to U.N. peacekeeping troops. It is deeply disconcerting that the Muslim community and its leaders demonstrate an amazing capacity to orchestrate vocal opposition when they sense a slight to Islam yet fail dismally to channel equal energy into resolving the conflicts in Sudan and by extension in countries like Iraq. In brief: perhaps they need to focus less attention on the infidelity of the West and more on self-criticism and addressing the problems...
