  • Parliamentary election in Iran (V)-Iran Today-02-21-2012
    www.presstv.com There are two weeks left to Iran's parliamentary elections. Iran is a country with a very young population; about 48 million people are eligible to vote. The parliamentary candidates have only 7 days to officially campaign, from the 23rd of February. Pamphlets, cards and booklets are being printed around the clock for when the time comes. This term posters, banners and the like are not allowed. The reason for this is to make sure money does not determine which candidate gets the most wall space and media coverage. In Iran's parliamentary and presidential elections, candidates are supposed to be from all walks of life, preferably the middle and lower class. Consequently the government tries to prevent the poorer candidates from being smothered and their voices drowned out by the richer ones in the campaigning arena. Preparations are being made at 47000 voting stations across the country. Meanwhile parliamentary debates are heating up as well in universities everywhere. Things have been complicated a bit with the emergence of numerous fronts. The lists are coming out left and right. Some of them are made up of well known figures that will be judged by their reputation not by the list they end up in, but there are a lot of new faces as well. Most of the candidates seem to be from the principlist camp, but the principlists themselves have formed an array of fronts, differing in their degree of like-mindedness with the government. This term the number of ...

  • Are pharmaceutical companies using African babies as guinea pigs?-Africa Today-02-21-2012
    www.presstv.com So the Gates Foundation is giving big bucks to big drug company GSK to develop a vaccine against Africa's number one killer, Malaria. The new not-for-profit malaria vaccine is virtually entirely ineffective without another medicine, whose patent is owned by GSK, resulting in billions of African blood money filling the coffers of big drug companies once again. Never mind big drug company GSK had its reps at the Gates Foundation and big bucks in the form of tax deductible grants are being shelled out to GSK. The really nasty thing about all this is the fact that, once again, big pharmaceutical companies test new drugs on African babies before any such permission is granted for American babies. And all the while one African country, Eritrea, has reduced Malaria mortality by 80% over the last decade, a fact unknown to the supposedly altruistic vaccine industry.

  • "Fear of losing mobile phone rising among young people"
    Do you feel anxious if your mobile phone isn't nearby? Does the thought of losing your phone make your heart pound? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then you may be a Nomophobe, and you're not alone. A new study shows that Nomophobia, short for No-Mobile-Phobia, is on the rise.

So is there a cure for nomophobia? Well psychologists say nomophobes can be treated by counseling and exposure therapy. But if it's really bad, you might consider medication
