Europeans extracted an estimated 222,505,049 hours of forced labour from African slaves between 1619 and 1865. Valued at the US minimum wage, with a modest rate of interest, that’s worth $97 trillion – more than the entire global GDP.

Bear Stearns kept two somewhat mysterious accounts for Trump. They were numbered only—no name was attached to them. A special code was required in order to call them up on the firm’s computers, and if an employee revealed them, he or she would be fired instantly. (Trump-trivia buffs: the account numbers are 049-50544-2-1 and 049-50549-2-6.)

For all malignant cancers, both fish eaters and vegetarians and vegans combined had significantly lower mortality than regular meat eaters [HR: 0.76 (95% CI: 0.63, 0.91) and HR: 0.82 (95% CI: 0.72, 0.94), respectively]. Vegetarians and vegans combined also had significantly lower mortality than did regular meat eaters for pancreatic cancer [HR: 0.47 (95% CI: 0.26, 0.86); P-heterogeneity = 0.065] and cancers of the lymphatic/hematopoietic tissue [HR: 0.43 (95% CI: 0.27, 0.70)], and low meat eaters had significantly lower respiratory disease mortality than regular meat eaters [HR: 0.69 (95% CI: 0.49, 0.97); P-heterogeneity = 0.14].

Indeed, for those in the West inclined to be critical of China, here are few cautionary facts. With its absolutely massive population (1.33 billion or one-fifth of the world's population) it's obvious that China should have a massive impact on the world. Yet, it's one-child policy, for all the uncomfortable ethical questions it raises and the painful sacrifice made by millions of Chinese families, means that China's annual percentage growth rate is low relative to the global average (0.49 per cent versus 1.13 per cent). Even with a population more than four times that of the United States (1.3 billion versus 0.3 billion), China's ecological footprint is still less than that of the US (2456 million global hectares versus 2730 million global hectares). In 2009, China invested far more than any other country in the clean energy industry – $34.6 billion or 0.39 per cent of its gross domestic product compared to United States' $18.6 billion or 0.13 per cent of GDP. When it comes to reforestation, China punches way above its numerical and geographical weight, with massive initiatives like the NFPP and SLCP helping seed some 4 million hectares of forest every year, which is probably more tree planting than the rest of the world put together.

His failure is not failure whom God leads; Through all the slow mysterious march goes on: An immutable Power has made this mutable world; A self-fulfilling transcendence treads man’s road; The driver of the soul upon its path, It knows its steps, its way is inevitable And how shall the end be vain when God is guide? 03.04_089:049

வழக்கு ஏதும் இன்றி, மிசாவின்கீழ் சுமார் 36,000 பேர் சிறையில் இருந்தனர். அவர்கள், கிட்டத்தட்ட பரவலாக, ஆந்திரத்திலிருந்து 1,078, பிகாரிலிருந்து 2,360 என்று, மாநிலவாரியாகத் தொடங்கி, அகர வரிசையில் இறுதியாக உத்தரப் பிரதேசத்திலிருந்து 7,049, மேற்கு வங்கத்திலிருந்து 5,320 என்று இருந்தனர். அரசியல் பழி வாங்குவதற்கு என்றே கைது செய்யப்பட்ட அவர்கள் பொதுவான குற்றவாளிகளைப் போலவே இடமும் உணவும் பெற்றனர். அவர்களுடனேயே அறைகளைப் பங்கு போடுமாறு கட்டாயப்படுத்தப்பட்டனர். திருமதி காந்தி பெரிதும் பறைசாற்றிய மாதிரி சோஷலிசம், சிறைகளிலாவது நடைமுறையில் அமைந்ததே என்ற கேலிப் பேச்சு எழுந்தது.
