... of losing a young, close, loved one to suicide. Most people don’t realize that adolescent suicide is common. They don’t want to believe how often this occurs in the secure environment found in the small towns of America, as well as in its largest cities. Suicide is the third leading cause of death for 15 to 24 year olds, and the sixth leading cause for 5 to 14 year olds. Suicide accounts for twelve percent of the mortality in the adolescent and young adult group. Young males are more common than young woman suicides.

... had recognised the value of cocoa beans both as an ingredient for their special drink and as currency for hundreds of years before cocoa was brought to Europe. Christopher Columbus is said to have brought the first cocoa beans back to Europe from his fourth visit to the 'New World' between 1502 and 1504. However the many other treasures on board his galleons were far more exciting so the humble cocoa beans were neglected. It was his fellow explorer, the Spanish Conquistador Don Hernan Cortes, who first realised the commercial value of the beans. He brought cocoa beans back to Spain in 1528 and very gradually the cu ...

... many governments have embraced the idea of privatization, brought to the fore mainly as a part of the adjustment and stabilization programs of the mid-eighties and the nineties. Privatization now frequently features in government policy statements and in conditionalities from donors. The past decade has also seen the World Bank and other donors get increasingly involved in lending operations towards parastatal sector reforms that included privatization components. African countries share a number of common features in relation to the drive towards privatization. For most of these countries, the first twenty ...

... days, and on the seventh he rested. In Exodus 20:11 the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and on the seventh day, he rested; therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and sanctified it. Shabbat is the only festival required in the ten commandments. There are certain things that the Jews are forbidden to do on Shabbat. Any work that is creative is restricted in Jewish law. Plowing, baking, weaving, trapping, building, tying, kindling a fire, and hitting with a hammer are all tasks not to be done on Shabbat. Rabbis have also prohibited travel, buying and selling, electricity, ...

... on racing a dirtbike you need to know what division to get into. Dirtbiking is a very popular sport that has blossomed since the late 80s. The reason for this is because dirtbikes are a lot better than they used to be. Now a days dirtbikes look better and go faster. Dirtbiking is for everybody 4 years old and up. The divisions are in increasements in engine size (cc's, cubic centimeters).For example, if you are between the ages of 4 and 7 you would race the 50cc dirtbikes. If you are between the ages of 8 and 11 you have a choice of racing a 65cc or an 80cc dirtbike. If you are between the ages of 12 and 15 you cou ...

... homosexual. The gay society was very much in the closet at this time. Men piercing thier ears were not taken well by many members of society. Eventually it became a norm as it was slowly coppied. Each generation needs to create a superior extreme weather it be clothing, styles, music or, oh yes you guesses it 'body art'. So here comes the nose ring, and extreme for a while attention fetching, absolutely, did it stay on top, absolutely not! The next step up the extreme ladder was the naval ring. It was different from the eyebrow ring in tht it was very much a female ring. Few men got into naval piercing as it ...

... of our “right to know”, but do we have just cause? Differences and difficulties in interpretation have characterized much of the later history of the First Amendment and historians continue to debate what the nation’s founders meant to include when they wrote that there shall be “no law” abridging the freedom of speech or press. Today the U. S. Supreme Court blindly inches its way across the tightrope of censorship. Laws prohibiting obscenity and indecency have been successfully incorporated and public sentiment has historically served to curtail the over-zealous journalist. Ho ...

... information on the reconstruction of the Globe and an archive on Shakespeare in Performance at the Globe, featuring illustrations and texts on the building of the original Globe, staging at the original Globe and staging at the New Globe. After the Globe was closed by the Puritans in 1642, its form and layout became an enigma. Only a few relevant documents existed and none of these provided a complete and accurate picture of its design. There have been countless attempts at reconstructing the Globe, whether on paper or in real size. In 1970, Sam Wanamaker established the Shakespeare Globe Playhouse Trust. A 0 ...

... masters at using classical conditioning with their solders. Early in World War II, Chinese prisoners were placed in a ditch on their knees with their hands bound behind them. And one by one, a select few Japanese soldiers would go into the ditch and bayonet “their” prisoners to death. Up on the bank, countless other young soldiers would cheer them on in their violence. Comparatively few soldiers actually killed in these situations, but by making the others watch and cheer, the Japanese were able to use these kinds of atrocities to classically condition a very large audience to associate pleasure with ...

... values were very strong and church leaders had alot of say in the way family life was conducted. Alfred Kinsey in the USA conducted a major investigation in the 1940's and 1950's of sexual behaviour and faced condemnation from many religious organisations for being immoral. He persisted and eventually obtained sexual life histories of 18,000 people. This showed a gap that can exist between publicly accepted attitudes and actual sexual behaviour. Sexual attitudes had undoubtedly became more permissive over the last 30 years. The 1960's brought openly declared attitudes more into line with the realities of sexual be ...
