...Russia at a very interesting time right now, politically. Have people treated you differently as a result of the diplomatic tensions over the Georgian invasion? Not at all. Not at all on this side. But I agree with you it's been fascinating to be here during this period politically. For example, you know what Americans always describe, universally, as the Georgian invasion, is not a term that would ever be used over here. I know that I personally do not truly understand the issues involved in this very complicated international situation. However, I don?t think anyone...
...hard to say how long the indri itself will stay with us. Madagascar's native plants and animals evolved in isolation for some 80 million years; as a result, the 587,000-sq-km country, which sits just off the coast of southeastern Africa, has perhaps the highest level of biodiversity per capita in the world. It's what conservationists call a "hotspot" - one of about 25 places on Earth that have suffered massive habitat loss and account for less than 2% of the planet's land surface, but are home to about half the world's plant species...
...what's being done to save it. After a day in Antananarivo - a sprawling, diesel-soaked city that earns the adjective "teeming" - we leave by car for Andasibe, a former logging village that is now home to a burgeoning ecotourism trade. On the winding road we see the result of centuries of tavy, traditional slash-and-burn agriculture. The verdant forests that once covered much of Madagascar have been burnt or torn down, replaced by muddy rice paddies and secondary shrubs. This loss of habitat is the primary driver of extinction on Madagascar. The trees support a web of life...
...teenage alcohol and drug abuse, we must start to bring fathers back into more children's lives. In the 1960s just 6% of American children were raised without fathers. That figure is now 28%-some 20 million children. The rise in the number of households without fathers is a result of well-intentioned federal programs that offer women incentives to throw fathers out of their children's lives, to the detriment of the children. Children benefit from being raised by a mother and a father. Peter G. Hill, Weston, Massachusetts...
...should also be prepared to lose more than just your dignity after a hook-up. Once the sun starts rising, illuminating all the flaws that were somehow hidden hours earlier, the impulse is to simply get out of that room ASAP. The result is often the loss of anything from underwear to jewelry to ID cards, and whether you get them back or not is really up to you. If you desperately need that blue scarf or Red Sox hat, then send a Facebook message to your partner in crime and ask them if they would kindly leave...
