Phil Bowermaster at The Speculist has an article on the similarities and differences between coupon clippers and food stamp users. It's well written, and I don't argue with his ultimate premise: there could be other, more scalable models similar to coupon-clipping that consumers could take advantage of. I'm a bit puzzled that he claims these resources of frugality are necessary because we are moving from a scarcity-driven society to an abundance-driven society, because scarcity tends to drive fr...View the entire post by clicking here

Maternity Leave: Different In Different Countries
It turns out each country has its own timing of maternity leave . Employed Sweden women can take nearly two-year maternity leave, while employers provide Taiwan residents only 8-week maternity leave. This study demonstrates the timing of maternity leave and receiving benefits. Differences were also observed in the magnitude of benefits: a woman who worked in a company at least a year, by law receives 100% wage in Europe, Australia, Asia and South America, during whole or part of maternity l...View the entire post by clicking here
Overcome Infertility 164–how To Treat Infertility With Herbs–stinging Nettles (urtica Dioica)
Infertility is defined as the inability of a couple to conceive after 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse. It affects over 5 million couples alone in the U. S. and many times more in the world. Because of an unawareness of treatment, only 10% seek help from professional specialists. We have spent most of the time in this series discussing conventional and Chinese medicines in treating fertility.

We Buried Our Baby Last Night
She was precious. We named her Glory because she gets to experience the eternal , full radiant glory of God before we get there. She was about an inch and a half long. She was fully formed with eyes, ears, nose, fingers and toes. She was beautiful and perfect. Kara had been spotting for over two weeks and although we went in two weeks ago Friday and saw a beautiful picture of her with a strong heart beat, Kara kept spotting each day. The Dr said there was nothing to worry about, so we tr...View the entire post by clicking here
Top Housebreaking Tips
If your dog is an indoors dog, then you it to yourself and to your dog to have him housetrained or housebroken. The positive thing about it is that it is not difficult, nor is it messy, and it does not have to be a struggle. In the Internet alone, there are few, easy to find authorities when it comes to implementing effective and proven housetraining. But the explanations (such as this one) boil down to honest to goodness involvement; the more involved you are in training, the shorter the traini...View the entire post by clicking here
We Know Who’s In Charge
I am learning lots of parenting lessons. For example, if you think you’re running your household you are seriously deluded. Graham is in charge around here and he doesn’t let us forget it. The last couple weeks he’s started letting us know just how important eating is. When you stop feeding him to burp him you will hear a shriek like nothing you’ve heard before. I sympathize, of course, if someone took my food away in the middle of my meal I would probably have a similar reaction. He also...View the entire post by clicking here

Alkalinity Defeats Morning Sickness!
Why do women experience morning sickness? The baby absorbs significant amounts of alkaline minerals from the mom. This process not only nourishes the baby, but it also helps them to balance the acidic waste that they produce. The baby’s acidic waste is generally the cause for the pregnant mom to feel nauseous. If the mom drinks large amounts of alkaline water throughout the day, the mom and baby will constantly be replenished with alkaline minerals. Building up those alkaline reserves...View the entire post by clicking here

A Job? Well Done.
One of the ways that mothers seek to talk about the value of their mothering is to say: this is my job. This is hard, skilled work that takes up much of my time and brainspace; this is something that matters and produces an end result: this is a job with the value of other people’s jobs, it’s just not (mostly, directly) paid. But when we say it’s a job, we do two things: firstly, we accept that value to the economy is “real” value, and only by being “just like” that can mothering (and other pa...View the entire post by clicking here

Who Is Not Protected From Workplace Discrimination?
Most people are aware of the protected categories of people who are protected by laws and legal statutes from workplace; people cannot be turned down for a job or fired from a job because of their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age or because of pregnancy. However, there are other things that are more specific and often related to these protected categories that are not listed under the protected categories.

Stacks Of Photos
Today was one of those days that I awoke early, fed and played with my baby, and saw my husband off to work. School starts today and it is his first day back teaching physics and his second love, biology. I got busy and watered my garden, picked some peas, and did those early morning chores. While my baby boy cooed and played on his blanket on the floor next to me, I browsed around on my favorites on flickr.com and stumbled across a group called “Whimsical”. So many artists can be found...View the entire post by clicking here
The Women’s Crusade
IN THE 19TH CENTURY, the paramount moral challenge was slavery. In the 20th century, it was totalitarianism. In this century, it is the brutality inflicted on so many women and girls around the globe: sex trafficking, acid attacks, bride burnings and mass rape. Yet if the injustices that women in poor countries suffer are of paramount importance, in an economic and geopolitical sense the opportunity they represent is even greater. “Women hold up half the sky,” in the words of a Chinese sayin...View the entire post by clicking here

When Hazardous And Heavy Drinking Leads To Serious Health Problems
For a number of years alcoholism research has demonstrated the fact that there is strong relationship between alcohol addiction and life-threatening health conditions. For example, in 2005, medical investigation showed that alcohol abuse and alcoholism cost the United States an estimated $220 billion annually. It may be noted that this considerable alcohol-related expense was substantially more than the cost linked with cancer ($196 billion) or with obesity ($133 billion).

Infant Mortality & The Stresses Of Everyday Racism
I think that the national discussion about racism and health care reform sometimes gets so abstract that we forget that when we’re talking about health, we’re talking about people’s lives. And, as this short clip (about 4 minutes) demonstrates very powerfully, leading researchers contend that racism plays an important role in infant mortality among African American women, even when controlling for income and education. This clip, from Episode 2, “When the Bough Breaks,” in the video series “U...View the entire post by clicking here
The Truth About Losing Weight After Having A Baby
by Winnifred SmithUnfortunately all too soon after the birth of a child, the mother starts thinking about how quickly she can lose weight after the pregnancy. Possible part of this problem stems from the Medias obsession with celebrity mothers and how quickly they lose the pounds they put on during pregnancy. This is an unfair pressure to place on regular moms who do not have the facilities afforded those with fame when they want to show the world that weight loss after pregnancy is easy and qui...View the entire post by clicking here

Diabetes And Pregnancy: Can Be Trendy
