“ Decent Work for All — Still a Dream, ” says a headline in the German newspaper Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung reporting on the symposium “Global Dialogue, ” held at the world exhibition EXPO 2000 in Hannover. Although the principle of equal pay for equal work for men and women was adopted in 1951 and a ban on child labor in 1973, 150 million people around the globe are without a job, 850 million are underemployed, and 250 million children have to work. Half the world’s population live on less than two dollars a day. And despite all efforts, the gap between rich and poor has widened rather than narrowed. The concerns of rich and poor countries are also quite different. While European politicians discuss share option schemes and the influence of trade unions, their colleagues from developing countries have to care for much more fundamental issues, such as basic school education for all and creating jobs for the rising generation. Masada in Danger? “ Masada must not fall again! ” is a rallying cry that inspired Jews as they built the modern nation of Israel. “ But Masada could conceivably fall again, ” notes an NBC news release, “literally, to the forces of nature. ” The popular tourist site “is situated on one of this planet’s most volatile faultlines: the Dead Sea Rift Valley. ” The mountain’s cliffs are split into hundreds of blocks, some of which could possibly be shaken loose by an earthquake. Indeed, computer analysis indicated that several on the eastern Snake Path side were at the point of doing just that, and these have already been reinforced by 60 - foot [18 m] - long steel rods. However, the remains of a palace that King Herod built on the northern face of Masada “is also on shaky ground ” and in need of being shored up. As yet, work on this section has not begun because of lack of funds. It was at Masada, 60 miles [100 km] from Jerusalem, that a group of 967 Jewish rebels withstood two years of siege by the Roman army almost 2,000 years ago. The night before the Romans broke through their fortifications, it is said that the Jews opted for suicide rather than surrender. Be Wary of the Sun Prolonged exposure to the sun without adequate protection can cause skin cancer, states an article in El Universal newspaper of Mexico. According to dermatologist Adriana Anides Fonseca, solar radiation has a cumulative effect that generally manifests itself as malignancy after the age of 50. She recommends applying sun screen 30 minutes before sunning oneself and reapplying it every three or four hours, after going into the water, or when perspiring profusely. Light - skinned people need a filter with a sun protection factor above 30 or 40; and dark - skinned people, one with 15 to 30. Even then, it must be remembered that sunscreen does not prevent radiation damage completely, and tanning lotions can make matters worse by producing deeper burns. Special care should be taken to protect infants from direct exposure to the sun, as their epidermal defenses are not yet fully developed. Interest in the Priesthood Lost
გამოკვლევებმა ცხადყო, რომ „ბავშვებს, რომლებიც იღებდნენ როგორც დოკოზაჰექსანოზის, ისე არაქიდონის მჟავებს, სხვებთან შედარებით უფრო მეტი მახსოვრობის, პრობლემების გადაჭრისა და ენის ათვისების უნარი ჰქონდათ“, — ნათქვამია ზემოხსენებულ ჟურნალში, რომელიც მიანიშნებს, რომ დედის რძით კვება საუკეთესოა.
