Demand for krill spurs environmental concerns
On Jan. 23 a U.S. panel ruled that Neptune's oil, already sold as health oil in capsules, was also safe as an ingredient in food, paving the way for its wider commercialization in the United States. Neptune signed research deals in 2007 with Nestle and with the Yoplait unit of General Mills over the use of krill in food. "Krill is not overfished oceanwide. We can still create a sustainable fishery," said Jerry Leape, director of the Antarctic Krill Conservation Project at the Pew Environment Group in the United States. "But much of the fishery concentrates in areas where krill swarms are most convenient. And that is where many natural predators also depend on krill," he said, adding that trawlers should be forced to spread catches around the continent.
The Turk in English Renaissance literature
Stoop, for he bids, That may command thee piecemeal to be torn, Or scattered like the lofty cedar-trees Struck with the voice of thundering Jupiter Marlowes depiction of Beyazits cruelty may have been influenced by John Foxs Acts and Monuments, published in 1570, in which Bejazeth is seen as deserving punishment for his cruel treatment of Christians: .

Porn to spice up cell phones
More advanced phones with better Web browsers like Apple Inc's iPhone also offer higher quality pictures and video. "It will be impossible to stop the adult business exploitation of mobile entertainment," said Gregory Piccionelli, a lawyer specializing in adult entertainment at law firm Piccionelli & Sarno. He predicted that U.S. consumers may soon be offered free porn on mobile phones alongside paid services like live video or "adult dates," a term for prearranged sex with strangers. A conference being held in Miami this week is devoted to discussing mobile opportunities as the porn industry seeks to find a new driver of growth. A surfeit of free online porn sites has cut into profits that have so far come mainly from DVDs, videotapes and pay-per-view or subscription-based Web sites.
Who is afraid of Disneyfication? A response to Sonja Hegasy
In spring 2003, Sonja Hegasy argued in openDemocracy that Arab intellectuals evasion of the challenge of globalisation was central to the Arab worlds culture of victimhood. Here, Mona Abaza writing before the death of Edward Said, a key reference-point in the argument responds that the seizure of Enlightenment values by an American-led imperial project undermines the search for an equal relationship between east and west. .
