Latest reports on the exact number of people on Earth about 6.7 billion people shows in late 2007. Studies say that by 2050 the number will grow to nine billion people. So be it?]]></description>

<p>Worldwatch Institute in the United States argues that these calculations are completely wrong and we can not trust the studies do not consider all variables as complex a problem.&nbsp;Simply are too many unknowns that we can estimate an exact number as to how people will live on Earth over approximately four decades.&nbsp;One of the contradictions raised by researchers at the Worldwatch Institute is connected to the fact that although families reduce their number of members there is no significant decrease in the level of births.&nbsp;Erooarea calculation comes from a wrong premise, that the studies are based on the number of women able to give birth after the late twentieth century statistics, statistics that indicate about 856 million women aged between 15 and 49 years.&nbsp;Yet, their actual number is somewhere totals around EUR 1.7 billion no earlier than 2007.&nbsp;A simple logic shows that the number of people who would live in 2050 would be well over 9 billion.&nbsp;Although reports of scientists still argue that the Earth can sustain drinking water and feed a larger population than is currently obvious that resources not only leads to a small portion of people, especially those in rich countries.&nbsp;Water crisis already hitting many poor countries while hunger is a decades-old problem for many third world countries.&nbsp;Yet a paradox, families with most members are found precisely in these poor countries.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[This year will be seven billion - seven billion human beings will inhabit the planet, using its resources, with or without gratitude, with more or less discrimination, conscious or not their impact on everything that is around. From the biblical admonition &#34;Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it&#34;, it was the responsibility today to promptings of the number of children that make them almost hysterical warnings and the need for lower speed with which we multiply. Moving from quantity to quality, not just how we are, but how we are - how people will live, what problems they have, what changes will happen with them - are issues that try to predict, in an attempt to improve what you can improve and prepare for rest.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/02/15/2100inside_1.jpg" alt="Looking to the year 2100: what will happen to humanity in this century?" /></p>
<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;Recently,&nbsp;<strong>a comprehensive report on the future state of the world was released</strong>&nbsp;:&nbsp;<i>2010 Revision</i>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<i>World Population Prospects&nbsp;</i>is a set of predictions on population growth of humanity and certain aspects of living standards, developed based on the statistical indicators of world countries in 2010.&nbsp;For&nbsp;the first&nbsp;time, the United Nations threw their eyes up in 2100 to predict the future of humanity.</p>
<p>So, what will happen to us until the end of this age?&nbsp;Let&#8217;s see &#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Number</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://storage0.dms.mpinteractiv.ro/media/401/321/5387/8276977/5/shutterstock-59933530.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/02/15/shutterstock59933530_1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="399" border="0" /></a></p>
<p><strong>7 billion in 2011 to 9 billion in 2050 to 10 billion in 2085.</strong>&nbsp;These are figures provided by UN estimates, which used different prediction models to predict the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.descopera.ro/dnews/8244963-populatia-planetei-va-depasi-10-miliarde-pana-in-2100-anunta-onu" target="_blank">&#8220;load&#8221; that will carry human planet in the next few decades</a>&nbsp;.</p>
<p>Sounds like a lot, especially since time seems to pass so quickly &#8211; you think that acoustic gonna be 2050 and will be a third more than we are.</p>
<p>There are also some good news?&nbsp;Sort of.&nbsp;rate&nbsp;of population growth has fallen sharply in the last 50 years and in all probability, will continue to decline.&nbsp;In other words, growth will be slower.&nbsp;Instead of a heavy string of numbers that justify this evolution, look at the animation below, which shows how the global population expected to increase.</p>
<p>There will obviously be&nbsp;<a href="http://www.descopera.ro/dnews/7966054-in-singapore-ii-roaga-sa-faca-copii-in-rwanda-sa-faca-vasectomii" target="_blank">differences</a>&nbsp;between continents: Africa, for example, will reach 1 billion people, as is currently approx.&nbsp;3.6 billion in 2100.</p>
<p>Ranking countries according to population size, will undergo changes, some predictable, others surprising.</p>
<p><strong>The most populous countries in 2010 were:</strong>&nbsp;China (1,341,000 locuritori), India (1.225 million), U.S. (310 million).</p>
<p>What will the rankings in 2100, according to official estimates?</p>
<p><strong>Place:</strong>&nbsp;India (estimated population: 1,551,000 inhabitants).</p>
<p><strong>Second Place</strong>&nbsp;: China (941 million &#8211; remarkable decrease, but how good or bad will be to decrease the population of China, that only the future will show us).</p>
<p>And&nbsp;<strong>third place</strong>&nbsp;- surprise!&nbsp;- Could reach Nigeria, a country now ranks 7 but with a high fertility rate will reach, it is expected for a population of 730 million &#8211; as all the present population of Europe!</p>
<p><strong>Older, more old &#8230;</strong></p>
<p>As you may know, some countries &#8211; the developed ones &#8211; have already aging population, as a result of low fertility (fertility is, in this sense population, an index calculated by the number of live births and the number of women in the population) , coupled with longer life expectancy, in&nbsp;contrast&nbsp;, developing countries, where, typically, fertility is high, young populations, but with a lower life expectancy.</p>
<p>Overall,&nbsp;<strong>the trend is to increase life expectancy and the aging world population</strong>&nbsp;.</p>
<p>In 2010, 7.6% of world population was over 65 years.</p>
<p>In 2100, the percentage of elderly will reach 22%.</p>
<p>In developing countries, with&nbsp;rates&nbsp;higher fertility, life expectancy is on average 56 years (low); experts consider as the main cause of the phenomenon of HIV infection (and subsequent illness of AIDS).&nbsp;<a href="http://www.descopera.ro/dnews/6554089-scade-rata-infectiei-cu-hiv-in-randul-tinerilor-africani" target="_blank">advances made in preventing the spread of disease</a>&nbsp;, but also extend Treatment with antiretroviral drugs, provided that&nbsp;<strong>mortality due to HIV / AIDS will continue to decline</strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;And mortality from other causes (malnutrition, infection with endemic tropical diseases, etc.) will regress, so that, as expected, life expectancy in these countries will reach an average of 69 years in 2045-2050 and 77 years in 2095-2100.&nbsp;(For comparison: in 2010, average life expectancy in Romania was, according to the minister of labor, 70 years for men and 77.1 years for women.)</p>
<p><strong>Poverty</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://storage0.dms.mpinteractiv.ro/media/401/321/5387/8276977/3/shutterstock-39981520.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/02/15/shutterstock39981520_1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="902" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Currently,&nbsp;<strong>48 of the UN world states are included among &#8220;the least developed countries&#8221;</strong>(Least Developed Countries &#8211; LDCs) &#8211; in other words, the poorest countries with the lowest living standards, most &#8230; Worse-off countries, yes, I know not a word &#8220;politically correct&#8221;, but describes, I think, more expressive dark picture of livelihoods of those countries than the definition of&nbsp;<em>official</em>extreme poverty, prepared by&nbsp;Bank&nbsp;World in 2008: to live with less than $ 1.25 per day, per person.</p>
<p>LDC category was created in 1970, the first list, published in 1971 (list is reviewed every three years) were included 51 countries, which had the lowest values ​​of indicators of socioeconomic development.Most are in sub-Saharan Africa.</p>
<p>These countries suffer from extreme poverty, armed conflicts (civil wars, ethnic clashes frequently), corruption and political and social instability.&nbsp;Epidemics are rampant, people are extremely vulnerable to natural disasters.</p>
<p>Because countries can &#8220;bump&#8221; that are removed from the list when their situation improves socieconomică, exceeding a certain threshold.&nbsp;Discouraging is that, from 1971 until now,&nbsp;<strong>only three have managed to promote</strong>&nbsp;: Botswana in 1994, Cape Verde and Maldives in 2007 earlier this year.</p>
<p>So, the list is still long: 48 countries want and hope to leave, but still struggle in place of poverty, social and economic vulnerability, the deficiency in health and education programs.</p>
<p>However, the United Nations has bold plans: according to experts it, half of the 48 countries could overcome this status until 2020, if &#8211; well, that is, IF &#8230;&nbsp;- Will get better programs at national and international support.&nbsp;Development aid better targeted, more effective policies in exports, agricultural productivity and doubling the number of persons included in school curricula and strengthening democracy, are measures proposed by the UN expert group recently analyzed the situation.</p>
<p>Now, on paper it sounds great, but &#8230;&nbsp;We have no reason to believe that world poverty could diminish?&nbsp;Hope dies last, you know, but there are some facts, some concrete data on which to ENDORSE hopes?</p>
<p>Mouse successful there, although recent economic crisis has slowed progress considerably, as a whole.&nbsp;The good and bad,&nbsp;<strong>here are some data on the evolution of poverty and the fight going against it</strong>&nbsp;:</p>
<p>Number of people living below the poverty line (less than $ 1.25 per day) decreased between 1990 and 2005, from 1.8 to 1.4 billion.</p>
<p>The proportion of people living in extreme poverty in developing regions has also fallen from 46% to 27%.&nbsp;But (damn it!)&nbsp;<a href="http://www.descopera.ro/dnews/2809469-hrana-scumpa-genereaza-catastrofe-in-africa" target="_blank">2008-2009 economic crisis has pushed millions into poverty again</a>&nbsp;, rising food prices leading to severe deterioration of the situation for many of those at the margins of poverty.</p>
<p>Overall, even if these positive trends continue, it is estimated that&nbsp;<strong>in 2015, approx.&nbsp;920 million people will still live below the poverty line</strong>&nbsp;.</p>
<p>Everything good is charged.&nbsp;UN experts say: the future, hundreds of millions of people (mostly from India and China) will come out of poverty, moving among the so-called middle class.&nbsp;And once you arrive there, they will improve their lives, will have higher standards, greater demands on comfort level, which will generate higher demand for products and services.&nbsp;On the one hand, it is good, on the other hand, must take into account environmental impact: it will be greater consumption of energy, water and raw materials and a larger amount of waste.</p>
<p>In 2050, food demand will be 75% higher than today.</p>
<p><strong>Hunger</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://storage0.dms.mpinteractiv.ro/media/401/321/5387/8276977/4/shutterstock-8561470.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/02/15/shutterstock8561470_1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="324" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Although poverty has many serious consequences (in terms of education, health and others), however, its effect is invoked fastest hunger &#8211; that is&nbsp;<a href="http://www.descopera.ro/dnews/7741470-pregatiti-va-vine-marea-foamete" target="_blank">hungry</a>&nbsp;, when it stretches over time and space.</p>
<p>The sad thing is that after UN estimates,&nbsp;<strong>one third of the food produced worldwide is lost or is thrown away</strong>&nbsp;- more than one billion tons every year!</p>
<p>In developing countries, it&#8217;s rather the loss: the crops are stored in poor conditions, as they are attacked by pests, or perishable products (such as dairy products) are transported without refrigeration and it breaks &#8230;&nbsp;The solution would be to improve technology and infrastructure: construction of modern silos, equipped with refrigeration &#8230;&nbsp;but all these costs, so we need programs targeted at improving the capacity of food storage and transport.&nbsp;African Development Bank conducted such a program with a duration of seven years, to reduce by 3% loss of food in African countries.&nbsp;If all goes as planned, after seven years, the damage could be significantly reduced.</p>
<p>In contrast, in developed countries, the problem is quite different &#8211; here, mostly, it&#8217;s about food thrown away simply.&nbsp;Consumers have their share of responsibility, how about grocery chains &#8230;&nbsp;let alone: ​​hundreds of millions of tons of perfectly edible food every year to get bin, either because of restrictive regulations on expiration date, either because they lost somewhat ideal commercial aspect.&nbsp;Fruits and vegetables are often discarded for this reason.</p>
<p>And all this while, actually, lots of people not to eat.</p>
<p>Little children under 5 years are still suffering from hunger and undernourishment, a staggering extent, even if the mouse made progress.&nbsp;In 1990, approx.&nbsp;third of children under five were underweight in the world, today, the figure is about 26%.</p>
<p>Obviously, solutions and related financial sphere and politics, with that everyone agrees, but when it comes to the urgent problem of increasing agricultural production, the views are different.&nbsp;<strong>Some plants rely on genetically modified crops</strong>&nbsp;, blockbuster to solve the problem of hunger.&nbsp;Others say an opposite idea, very bold in the current context: that on the contrary,&nbsp;<strong>the so-called organic farming and to adopt some traditional methods that have proven effective over centuries, could be the solution to world hunger</strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;Surprising experiments made ​​in different countries &#8211; China, Britain, India, Kenya, Brazil, Guatemala, Honduras &#8211; have shown that old traditional practices such as fertilizer use manure and cultivation of several species on the same plot of land (in opposed to monoculture &#8211; growing huge Tarlale a single species, as is done today in modern agriculture) maintain better soil productivity over time and reduce pest attack.&nbsp;To see!</p>
<p>(In addition to fighting for food,&nbsp;<strong>will lead a more fierce battle for water</strong>&nbsp;, for ever-increasing water needs, and stocks can not keep up. It is true, and it wastes a lot of water. It seems that we need a new &#8220;culture of water&#8221; until you get to have one that the inhabitants of Arrakis, depicted in imaginary desert planet&nbsp;<i>Dune</i>&nbsp;, for people whose water, very little, was the most precious resource, the supreme value.)</p>
<p><strong>Obesity &#8230;</strong></p>
<p>In contrast,&nbsp;<strong>rich countries are facing a true epidemic of obesity</strong>&nbsp;, in addition, malnutrition strikes the surprising extent, and the citizens of these countries, because many of them eat much, but worse.Abuse often generate junk food nutritional deficiencies of vitamins and minerals, in addition, risk factors, those represented by high cholesterol, blood all increased, enlarged belly and she &#8230;&nbsp;And&nbsp;<a href="http://www.descopera.ro/dnews/7950902-500-de-milioane-de-oameni-sunt-obezi" target="_blank">the prevalence of obesity is growing and growing</a>&nbsp;&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://storage0.dms.mpinteractiv.ro/media/401/321/5387/8276977/7/shutterstock-75292204.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/02/15/shutterstock75292204_1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="900" border="0" /></a></p>
<p><strong>&#8230;&nbsp;and other diseases booming</strong></p>
<p>Disturbing and dark,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.descopera.ro/dnews/8021050-numarul-cazurilor-de-dementa-creste-accelerat" target="_blank">one of the diseases that spread more widely known dementia</a>&nbsp;- whether Alzheimer&#8217;s disease or other forms of dementia &#8211; in conjunction with increasing life expectancy: these diseases are more common among the elderly.&nbsp;That is, everything is with shower and come back.</p>
<p>And still a disease that spreads rapidly in the world&nbsp;<a href="http://www.descopera.ro/dnews/4846313-o-lume-de-deprimati" target="_blank">depression</a>&nbsp;, which are found ever new forms.&nbsp;And modern lifestyle is itself associated with the development of specific diseases, real&nbsp;<a href="http://www.descopera.ro/stiinta/7936124-la-vremuri-noi-boli-noi-7-maladii-ale-epocii-moderne" target="_blank">diseases the new times</a>&nbsp;.</p>
<p><a href="http://storage0.dms.mpinteractiv.ro/media/401/321/5387/8276977/9/shutterstock-20743147.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/02/15/shutterstock20743147_1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="455" border="0" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Well, die, yes why?</strong></p>
<p>If contagious diseases have long been a major cause of death worldwide, non-communicable diseases and accidents in the future will become major cause of death, says World Health Organization.&nbsp;The same institution warns that auto accident rates will increase and&nbsp;<strong>deaths caused by smoking will exceed that number even those produced by HIV / AIDS.</strong>&nbsp;Even in Africa, whose countries have young populations, smoking, hypertension and high cholesterol levels in blood came to be among the top 10 health risk factors.</p>
<p>After the bleak vision of a humanity consisting of a lot of people malnourished and die young and as many more obese but malnourished and depressed or dementia, can we have some reason for optimism?&nbsp;It seems cynical and almost absurd even to mention the word optimism.&nbsp;And yet &#8230;</p>
<p>These figures are calculated and set not only know how to sit, but also to warn us, because each of us, knowing the current trends, may take measures to stay in power.&nbsp;Not necessarily to those grim statistics bold and new.&nbsp;Take care of yourself, eat and how to stay healthy, not making fun of resources and try to find reasons for joy in life, as long as you will be given to live.&nbsp;Health &#8211; physical and spiritual &#8211; all!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[One child it enough, the Chinese government made ​​a very strict regulations about the setting of population in all regions of china.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Government of Guangdong Province, China, warned the parents that they will be fined or punished if the child has more than one, even if their babies are born in Hong Kong.</p>
<p>According to the newspaper China Daily, the official family planning of Guangdong Province, Zhang Feng, said the parents would be fined if a child in violation of any restrictions on the location of his birth.&nbsp;In addition, when working as a civil servant, they threatened to be dismissed.</p>
<p>This warning was issued as part of an effort to reduce the number of mothers from mainland China region are deliberately traveling to Hong Kong to give birth to a child in order to avoid the policy restrictions in mainland China.</p>
<p>Chinese authorities closely monitor the implementation of birth control.&nbsp;Although a part of China, Hong Kong has its own rules.</p>
<p>&#8220;Therefore, there are so many pregnant women who wanted to give birth here. Almost half of all babies born in Hong Kong last year from parents who live in mainland China,&#8221; BBC correspondent in Hong Kong, Juliana Liu.</p>
<p>Anti-China sentiment</p>
<p>The trip is called the &#8220;birth tours&#8221; to the semi-autonomous Hong Kong recently grown in popularity among parents who want more than one child.</p>
<p>Guangdong officials warning came after Hong Kong&#8217;s residents published full-page ads that include mention of Chinese mainland as &#8220;locusts&#8221;.</p>
<p>The increase in the number of mothers who give birth in Hong Kong China, Juliana Liu reports, has caused great anger in the former British colony.&nbsp;The Hong Kong government has implemented a quota amount of pregnant women from mainland China are allowed to give birth in local hospitals.&nbsp;However, Hong Kong residents argues quota restrictions are not effective.</p>
<p>This issue even sparked anti-China sentiment in general, said Liu.</p>
<p>Some Hong Kong lawmakers seek to change immigration rules to make pregnant women from mainland China to give birth in Hong Kong.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[An interesting view of Japanese culture moving into the modern world.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Japan, a nation with the tenth largest population on the planet resides  within a relatively small East Asian archipelago in the Pacific Ocean.  As an industrialized modern state Japan has responded well to the  International standards set forth by the UN millennium development  goals, however, many challenges still present themselves within the  Japanese population. In this blog you can examine some of these  demographic issues through specific assessments of modern and future  trends in Japan and the relevant issues they create within Japanese  society.</p>
<p><strong>Consequences of an Aging Population<br /></strong>In his book,  &ldquo;Aging in East and West: Families, States, and the Elderly,&rdquo; Bengston  discusses many issues surrounding an aging population, many of which  center around the idea of social care for the elderly:<br />&ldquo;&hellip;main issue addressed pertains to the support and care of aged persons&rdquo; (Bengston, 6).<br />When  a population doesn&rsquo;t have enough young people to support the older  population, it can difficult to insure social security to the elderly.  This can lead to sub-par care facilities, and can put pressure on the  family unit as children and grandchildren attempt to care for their  elders, along with caring for all other members of the family as well.  On a national scale, this can cause problems with obtaining sufficient  medications, and the nation not having enough social welfare to care for  all individuals that are in need of it, as well as problems with not  having enough medical staff to care for the entire population.<br />When  taking culture of Japan into account as well, it becomes problematic  that traditionally, families were thought to provide solely for  themselves and to the individuals among themselves, and that the elderly  are revered:<br />&ldquo;&hellip;has touched societies in the East such that now they have to move from exclusive reliance on the family&rdquo; (Bengston, 7).<br />Thus,  the population is being forced to rely on government programs and  outside help for care of their elderly family members. In a society  where this is considered somewhat taboo, this can be a major problem for  younger generations.<br />An aging population can also grossly effect the  work force in a nation. If there are not enough young people to do  government work (e.g., fix roads, build hospitals, libraries, etc), then  the standard of living within the country will decline rapidly.</p>
<p>This year, Japan is expected to hit its peak population. After this, it  is projected that Japan will see severe population decline due to  decreased fertility rates:<br />&ldquo;&hellip;And by about 2010, it [the population]  is expected to peak at about 130 million. Thereafter, the population of  Japan is expected to fall, with a projected decline that may fall below  80 million by 2050&rdquo; (Traphagan and Knight, 10).<br />Consider that Japan  is already facing an increasingly aging population, and these two  population features together may cause gross consequences by the year  2050. Caring for the elderly is already a problem due to not enough  young people, but with general population decline, it may become nearly  impossible for the younger generation to care for its elderly.<br />Within  the next five years it will become increasingly important that the  Japanese government continually offers more rewards for parents,  expecting mothers, and children, to help solve the problem with  declining population, or they will be forced to open international  borders and begin to allow immigrants within their borders much more  indiscriminately than in previous years</p>
<p>This could become a rather serious situation, as the ability to provide  young people with stability to have children is going to put a lot of  pressure on a system that already does not have enough money to care for  its elderly citizens. Opening the borders and being less discriminating  about who can cross those borders, could also cause many problems. As  Japan is a first world, industrialized country surrounded by developing  countries, allowing citizens from those other countries to cross the  border may cause many population issues including:<br />1. Cultural issues- rioting, loss of national pride, change in racial demography of population<br />2. National health issues- new diseases being introduced to the area, diseases evolving in the area<br />3. Political issues- problems with new laws either protecting or declining to protect the rights of immigrants<br />4. Wellbeing issues- problems with standard of living in larger cities, where immigrants may be forced to work for smaller wages</p>
<p>As  it stands, Japan will need help from other countries in terms of caring  for their elderly, obtaining enough money to support young people to be  capable of having children and to pay for the support of those children  educationally and socially, and help with controlling diseases that may  become a problem if the borders are opened.</p>
<p>Japan is one of the most developed and most ageing countries in the  world. In 2010 the population is 127 million people and it is projected  to drop to 95.2 million by 2050. Japan is has the highest number of old  people ages 65 and up, at 22.6% of their population. Japan&rsquo;s high number  of old people is the reason why their total population is expected to  decline (World Population Data Sheet). Japan&rsquo;s fertility rate is among  the lowest in the world at an average of 1.4. Compared to the total  population of Japan, its birth rate is 9 births per 1,000 and the death  rate is 9 deaths per 1,000. The infant mortality rate is 2.6, which is  very similar to the infant mortality rate of more developed countries at  6, but very low compared to the world at 46. Japan&rsquo;s rate of natural  increase is -0.0%, which is much lower than the world average of 1.2%  and just below the average of more developed countries at 0.2%. The  percent of the population aged 15 and younger is at 13%, which is lower  than the world average of 27%, and as stated before the 22.6% of the  population that is 65 and older is well over the world average of 8%.  The elderly support ratio in 2010 is every three working age people are  supporting 1 old person and in 2050 it is projected to be one working  person supporting one old person, because of the population decline. Men  and women have very similar life expectancies, men at 79 years and  women at 86 years. As said before Japan is one of the most developed  countries and 86% of the population lives in urban areas, leaving 14% in  rural areas. This urbanization could directly correlate to the low  percentages of HIV/AIDS present in Japan. Less than 0.1% of men and  women have HIV/AIDS in Japan. Contraception in Japan is widely  available, 54% of married women use contraception and of that 44% are  using modern methods of contraception. The Gross National Income (GNI)  per capita is $35,220 in Japan.<br />Japan&rsquo;s main issue is the quickly  ageing population. The population and will soon be going through rapid  changes forcing Japan to adapt in ways they have not dealt with before.  The health status in Japan is obviously very efficient since people are  living so long.</p>
<p>The nation state of Japan currently holds the spot for being the  tenth most populous country on the planet. This is most impressive when  considering the fact that the state which is composed of over six  thousand islands is only the worlds sixty-first largest state in terms  of total land mass. Totaling at 377,915 sq/km. (CIA World Fact Book) To  gain a better perspective into the scale of this archipelago; imagine a  slightly smaller landmass than the state of California. Now combine the  population of California with about another One hundred million  residents and you will better understand the population density of  Japan. To exemplify this point further provided is a statistical listing  of regional and representative states abroad in relation to their  population density. (</p>
<p>Japan: Population-126,804,433 Landmass- 377,915 sq/km [335people/square kilometer]</p>
<p>China: Population-1,330,141,295 Landmass-9,569,961 sq/km [135p/sq.km]</p>
<p>India: Population-1,173,108,018 Landmass-3,287,263 sq/km [356p/sq.km]</p>
<p>USA: Population- 310,232,863 Landmass- 9,161,966 sq/km [33p/sq.km]</p>
<p>Sweden: Population- 9,074,055 Landmass- 410,355 sq/km [22p/sq.km]</p>
<p>South Africa: Population- 49,109,107 Landmass- 410,355, sq/km [119p/sq.km]</p>
<p>Chile: Population-16,746,491 Landmass-743,812 sq/km [22p/sq.km</p>
<p>All numerical data taken from the CIA World Fact  Book)</p>
<p>Using only this statistical comparison it is easy to see how dense  Japan&rsquo;s population actually is. It is most comparable with states like  India; however, it should be considered that India supports a massive  population living in extremely impoverished conditions in high-density  shantytowns. These kind of undeveloped and unregistered living  communities do not exist in Japan at all; which adds to the spatial  capacity understanding. Due to Japan&rsquo;s decreasing fertility rates, it is  possible that this spatial density will become less with time. But  today it is important to realize these facts in relation to Japan&rsquo;s  strict immigration laws and low fertility norms. There simply just isn&rsquo;t  enough space to support a population much larger than the current one.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Majority of poulations in many countries are the elderly.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Many developed countries in Europe, such as Italy and Germany, are considered graying populations. This is because they have a lower fertility rate, increasing elderly populations, and decreasing overall numbers. While they have many foreigners living in these countries on work statuses, many of these countries are afraid to allow more immigration because it could cause major changes in culture, religion, and art. There is a large need to change the policies and provide incentives to increase and balance the younger populations.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; France has adopted some pro-natalist policies that have helped accomplish two goals: &ldquo;reconciling family life with work and reversing declining fertility.&rdquo; (Grant, Hoorens, Sivadasan, van het Loo, DaVanzo, Hale, Gibson &amp; Butz, 2004). They give liberal subsidies for child-care and reward families who have three or more children. These are great policies because they encourage people to try to have more children.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; While I fully believe in women being allowed to be pro choice, I think that some of these nations could adopt a policy in which abortions are illegal. If the woman or couple doesn&rsquo;t want the baby or babies, then they could use the adoption option. Contraception and birth control could be banned to help increase fertility. Also, infertile couples could adopt children from countries who have too high of a population. Not only would it help repopulate the nation with such a graying population, but it would also help depopulate the nation who is rising above its means and resources.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Another policy that could be used by these graying nations would be to allow more immigration. Culture and other &ldquo;old ways&rdquo; may change, but change is inevitable anyways. These nations already have people living there, they just aren&rsquo;t considered residents. While they procreate on their own, it would increase the younger population.</p>
<p>Nations could also offer other incentives programs. One idea would be to offer medical incentives in which infertile or couples who are having a hard time conceiving could get help paying for fertility drugs, surrogacy, and in-vitro procedures. They could also offer special paid medical leave for parents after their child or children are born.</p>
<p>Many of these policies are already in place in some nations, but could definitely be used in others. By offering help with medical bills, providing easier adoption policies, making more immigrants residents, helping with childcare, and offering special subsidies and rewards for people with more children, these graying populations could live on with more people being added to the younger populations.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[We may have found the answer to why our bees are in rapid decline, but will society's obsession with convenience outweigh the real concerns this raises?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><p>Large areas of our agricultural and ecological systems are reliant on bees.  On a truly massive scale, bees are used and relied upon to pollinate our crops.  The worlds bees, most notably in the US and the UK, have been in serious decline for the past thirty years.  In these countries alone, the population of bees has almost halved in that time.</p>
<p>Scientists in Switzerland may well have found the cause.  Our ever expanding use of mobile/cell phones.  Research in Lausanne has indicated that mobile/cell phone signals have a considerable, detrimental effect on the bees behaviour, which may well be the cause for their extremely rapid decline in numbers.</p>
<p>Daniel Favre, studying the bees reactions to mobile/cell phones in over 80 separate experiments, found that the bees react significantly to the phones when they are in call mode, i.e. when they are transmitting or receiving a signal.</p>
<p>Their reaction is to emit a particularly heavy buzzing, ten times the usual noise level, which, in the environment of a hive, is a warning to other bees to leave, or in effect an evacuation signal.  The frequency of the signals also apparently affect the bees in other ways, causing them to behave and fly erratically leading to them becoming lost and disorientated.</p>
<p>It seems that this research would link mobile/cell phone usage and popularization over the last thirty years with the decline in numbers of bees over the same period.</p>
<p>The way forward if these results are proved conclusive is unclear.  In the US and UK, and increasingly the world over, the mobile or cell phone has become almost a necessary convenience which it is unlikely will be given up lightly.</p></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Every day, the number of people in the world increases by 200,000. So every second there are two more mouths to feed.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Until about 1800, world population was rising slowly. Then a population explosion started. Here are some reasons:</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Better medicines and health care help fight disease.</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Clean water supplies and better sewage disposal slow the spread of diseases.</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Modern farming methods in some countries produce more food.</p>
<p>This means fewer babies die, and adults live longer. The result is population growth at a rate which is causing the most severe problems for the human race. Failure to solve them will produce world-wide social, economic, and environmental catastrophe.</p>
<p>Decreasing death-rate in poor countries is due mainly to imported drugs and improved health care against diseases such as malaria and yellow fever. But birth-rates are still high for many reasons:</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Children are needed to support the family and most are working by at least 10 years of age.</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Poor countries cannot afford to buy machines, so most work is done by hand. Therefore a large labour force is essential.</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Death-rates are still high enough to mean that a poor family must have 10 children to be sure of having a son who will live to 40 years.</p>
<p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In some societies, even if a woman would like to have fewer children, her low social status, lack of education and shortage of contraceptives make this difficult to achieve.</p>
<p>Population growth in rich countries is slowing, and may soon stop. The main reason is that machines have replaced people in industry and farming so a large work-force is not needed. Another reason is the high cost of supporting children.</p>
<p>Reduced birth-and death-rates in rich countries result in a population made up of more old people than young. Fewer people earn money and pay taxes, and more want pensions and extra health care: this can cause economic and social problems.</p>
<p>Rapid population growth in poor countries makes the task of maintaining food supplies, clean water, electricity, and transport impossible to achieve. One solution is the use of contraceptives, though many people have religious objections. Contraceptives will not become widespread until better living conditions make large families unnecessary, and education standards are improved.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Wild populations, such as frogs in a pond or starfish in a seaside rock pool, cannot protect themselves from bad weather, predators, diseases and many other factors which slow, or stop, their population growth. As a result, the growth rates of human and wild populations can be quite different.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If a healthy population of wild animals enters an unoccupied area where there is plenty of food, space, shelter, and no predators, its numbers will increase rapidly. This happens because the extra food makes them more fertile and so birth-rate exceeds death-rate.</p>
<p>But this cannot continue for long. Available space fills up, competition for food begins, predators soon show up, and many other factors which limit population growth appear. These reduce birth-rate and increase death-rate. This produces changes in population numbers which, if plotted on a graph, give a growth curve, like a flattened letter &lsquo;S&rsquo;.</p>
<p>Factors, such as food shortages, which limit population growth are called environmental resistance. As these build up, birth-rate decreases and death-rate increase until they are equal. Then population growth stops and the numbers stay fairly constant. At this point the population has reached the maximum that the area can support. This is called the carrying capacity of that area, for that particular species.</p>
<p>Competition increases between members of the same and different species in a community when the resources of their habitat are not sufficient to fill their needs. Wild environments have a limited supply of resources, including food, nesting places, and shelter from the weather and predators. As numbers increases and overcrowding develops, competition for these resources increases and energy, at first available for reproduction, must be spent in the struggle for survival. Female fertility is reduced, which means they produce fewer eggs or babies, and many young die before maturity because there is not enough food for them. In addition, adult animals die younger as the strain of survival increases. Together these factors cause birth-rate to fall and death-rate to increase.</p>
<p>By evolving in response to one another over thousands of years many competitors may be able to coexist. Alternatively, one species &lsquo;wins the competition&rsquo;, which may drive other species to extinction. This often happens when new &lsquo;alien&rsquo; species are introduced to a habitat.</p>
<p>There are many examples of animals and plants being introduced into an area where they previously did not live and become so successful that other species suffer. After rabbits were introduced into Australia they quickly ousted marsupial populations which had evolved there over millions of years, because they breed much faster, can have eight litters a year, with up to eight young per litter, reach sexual maturity in six months, and live for ten years. They not only took over the habitats and food supplies of local marsupials but became pests by destroying crops.</p>
<p>Grey squirrels were introduced into Britain in the early nineteenth century and have spread far and wide, replacing the native red squirrel which cannot complete with them for food. Grey squirrels eat the same foods as red squirrels, but they are also pests that strip bark from trees, eat buds, shoots and seeds of crops, and the eggs and young of birds.</p>
<p>Weather conditions and the change from summer to winter in temperate regions, and from dry to wet seasons in the tropics, can have dramatic effects on wild populations. Numbers fall when harsh weather conditions halt reproduction and increase death-rate.</p>
<p>In an enclosed environment such as a small pond, population growth can lead to increasing amounts of carbon dioxide and other, often toxic wastes. These limit further growth of some populations.</p>
<p>Overcrowding quickly leads to the build-up of disease organisms and parasites, since they can spread with ease from one organism to the next throughout the whole population. This, and the arrival of predators, are important reasons why the rapid growth phase of a population eventually comes to an end, and is often followed by a fall in numbers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Life and reality exists in human beings.&nbsp; There is no other place to find reality and it is limited by the person&#8217;s imagery of what-is.&nbsp; To see beyond your finger tips and your social expectations you only need to step out of your body&#8217;s information sensor array, as well as, your mind&#8217;s assimilation of personal desires.&nbsp; The needs of your body can&#8217;t be eliminated.&nbsp; If you are successful, you will continue to breath and your heart continues to beat.&nbsp; Should you try experiencing mind expansion through drugs, they warp your sensor data merely giving you a false awareness of your expectations.&nbsp; The validity of expectations is a conglomerate of facts and fiction.&nbsp; This reality is an alternate reality that has no validity except for its bearer.</p>
<p>Expanding the mind doesn&#8217;t require drugs.&nbsp; It requires the mind to broaden its base in principles, and that requires learning.&nbsp; Most people find learning an undesirable task and it keeps their reality narrow.&nbsp;&nbsp; It is easier to follow others without a broadened value system.&nbsp; They must know what they are doing, right?&nbsp; You are wishing through an assumption.&nbsp; The path of the follower is very abundant.&nbsp; Group corruptibility is determined by this multitude.&nbsp; Guess what?&nbsp; That leaves a lot of decrepitude.&nbsp; This source of society is a master bargain hunter&#8217;s dream.&nbsp; Should you fall under the heading of simple, your represent a spur of the moment reactionary dictated through the environments occurring naturally and the ambient created for you.&nbsp; You haven&#8217;t any choice, but to react.</p>
<p>The mind of a person is where reality resides.&nbsp; Physical objects are real and reality exists solely in the human mind.&nbsp; The water, the air, a fire and the rock are real.&nbsp; The earth is real.&nbsp; The mind encompasses the real to generate a reality.&nbsp; You have other skills in your reality like math.&nbsp; The earth has seven billion people on it.&nbsp; Each person has a head, a nose, a mouth, a couple of feet hopefully and a sensor network of nerves.&nbsp; Every person&rsquo;s information comes from their surroundings, but no two people are using the same eyes, the same nose, etc., etc.&nbsp; People are genetically built with the same material but with different building blocks.&nbsp; There isn&#8217;t a single mind controlling all people and since reality rest in the mind there are seven billion realities.&nbsp; Each of those realities is tweaked a little differently.</p>
<p>The question is can people use reality during a conversation or a speech for the general public and know what the person is saying?&nbsp; It is a politician&#8217;s term to bring citizens together with the &ldquo;Big Reality&rdquo; speech.&nbsp; George Bush said that the Director of the CIA, George Tenant, lied to him.&nbsp; Director Tenant resigned in short order.&nbsp; It was twenty-eight days later President George Bush gave George Tenant the highest civilian medal.&nbsp; Where is the reality in that?&nbsp; The President must of said, take the blame and all our problems are over.&nbsp; We have Iraq and no President can toss the country back without endangering our allies.&nbsp; Bush didn&#8217;t think about the costs and the economy.&nbsp; His statement was he had an accountant working on his budget. &nbsp;George must have been thinking; the next President will need to take care it, because I will be gone.</p>
<p>The World Recession and creative accounting!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2011/12/23/helsinkipeoplegrasscity_1.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="480" /></p>
<p>Denied&nbsp;a report issued by&nbsp;the Australian&nbsp;Bureau of Statistics&nbsp;is&nbsp;thought&nbsp;that the&nbsp;urban population&nbsp;live&nbsp;in an atmosphere of&nbsp;fresh air and&nbsp;wide&nbsp;open spaces&nbsp;helps to&nbsp;improve&nbsp;their health and&nbsp;prolong life.</p>
<p>The report stated&nbsp;that&nbsp;those living&nbsp;outside major cities&nbsp;exceed&nbsp;their risk of&nbsp;high blood pressure&nbsp;by 15%, and&nbsp;mental illness&nbsp;by 16%, and&nbsp;asthma by&nbsp;20%, and&nbsp;back pain&nbsp;by 23%, and the&nbsp;deaf&nbsp;by 27%, and&nbsp;the further away&nbsp;the population&nbsp;from the cities, the more&nbsp;their situation&nbsp;worse&nbsp;.</p>
<p>And increase&nbsp;mortality rates in&nbsp;rural areas&nbsp;because of&nbsp;chronic diseases by&nbsp;8%&nbsp;compared to&nbsp;cities, but&nbsp;this percentage&nbsp;up to 80% in&nbsp;very&nbsp;remote areas, according to&nbsp;a report&nbsp;issued by&nbsp;the Australian Institute of&nbsp;Health and Welfare.</p>
<p>It is noteworthy&nbsp;that the population of&nbsp;Australian cities&nbsp;are eager&nbsp;to move to&nbsp;rural areas,coastal&nbsp;or green, where they can&nbsp;live in&nbsp;a quiet place&nbsp;on the beach&nbsp;or stay&nbsp;in a rural townwhere it is difficult&nbsp;to see&nbsp;homes&nbsp;from the large&nbsp;trees that&nbsp;surround it.<br />&nbsp;</p>
