Somewhat like boarding schools.
They need that more than gym class. Gym wd be divided with plywood walls for private double rooms like college dorms. Kids being hmless is a crime against humanity.

xpost fm GD thread reply: FOOD PANTRY giving guide:Bad teeth,Food allergies,No stove or fridge advce
Many of the poor have bad teeth, or food allergies: so please NO sugar, fruit, peanuts, corn, wheat, or rice (rice constipates some).
The stresses of poverty worsen food allergies, so give that factor a lot of weight. -------------------- STOVE AND FRIDGE Many are hmless or in motels with no hotplate nor a fridge. ---Some have no stove, so cans are the only way they can prepare food. Others, no fridge..so again cans are the only realistic choice...no leftovers with canned food...cooked food usually means leftovers that need a fridge. ------------------ Nutritious--- The most nutrient dense foods (from a CSPI list)..see if u can get them in cans... Kale, collards... turnip greens IIRC... ------------------ --among beans, Lima is tops..AVOID green beans (few nutrients). Bean sprouts also have few nutrients contrary to the myth. Flame away LOL. **************** ***************** Many poor have bad teeth, ***************** please avoid ANY added sugar in (esp) canned items...even bread and milk have enough to cause bad pain for hours. Shredded wheat bite size is a substitute for bread. But some have wheat allergy or sensitivity...for them, rare shredded grains OK. (get from ...Texas mail order..Arrowhead Mills). ----------------------- FRUIT ----------- PLAIN fruit is very HIGH in naturally occuring fructose sugar...Don't even THINK of giving any form of fruit!! -Eskimos prove folks do not require it. --------------------- Miscellaneous -------------------- Red beets are also naturally full of sugar.. --potatoes turn to sugar-like carbs. --Rice causes painful constipation in some. Anyone know if it is a risk for fatal obstruction? The most common food allergies are wheat and corn. As you know peanut allergy can kill...so dangerous its been removed from respectable airlines' food service. ********************** Peanut butter ..I suppose it carries the same risk. *********************** Milk substitutes anyone? With low natural sugars? Don't give food that folks can't eat...that is a waste of money. ----------------------- WHAT TO GIVE ---------------------- Not a long list. Additions welcome. So...give canned beans that are PLAIN... -no sauces , no "southern style" no "ranch style" no "cajun style" and no added sugar. --Avoid red beans, garbanzos, green peas - all those have added or natural sugars at hi levels. Green peas, red kidney beans...- for some reason they always add sugar. Sadly. **************** --get blackbeans, blackeye peas, Limas, pinto. Get plain canned chicken. Tuna? Hmmmmmm after Fukushima, Pacific seafood is suspect. --------------------- TOOTHPASTE - a giving guide Pantries often take household items. ------------------- Moderators- if the following is viewed as commercialism, pls erase the following but not the long part above. Thanks. ------------------------ best toothpaste: for cavity riddled teeth..IMO...Colgate Total Enamel All three words on the box front. According to my knowledgeable epal who says he has bad teeth. "It has antibiotic, triclosan..only thing I found that ends the gum pain, Yes it is controversial, but if no dentist one needs whatever works." (He then cusses dentists ...at length)
WPA....bring unemp to zero then the WPA wages are spent, stimulating Privte Sector factories + econo
economy in general. Simple

IMO that is part of the core attitude of LW thought.
The "positivism" of Logical Positivism.

Snip
integration of DNA transfected into cells and detecting RNA expression levels. Her efforts contributed ...those results in a poster at our recent SENS5 conference in Cambridge. From AGE to SENS5: Building Momentum For Human Rejuvenation Snip.......... Snip The fifth biannual Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence ..., and also to the recent 40th meeting of the American Aging Association (AGE). End of snip-------- Their star researcher is dr. Aubrey de Grey of Oxford U. Another I see at the site is---- Pedro Alvarez PhD, George R. Brown Professor of Engineering, Rice University ------------------- ---------------------- PS my favorite idea is putting fresh DNA into every cell of an adult with a viral "truck". Which carries the DNA in then releases it. From site www.sens.org

Bowhead whales - some, 300 year lives in nature.
Nematodes lives extended in lab, sevenfold. In human years, s-fold would be 500 or so years. Nematode extension via two genes suppressed (can be done for larger animals via a pill) and some gonadic tissue removed. ( Dr Kenyon U. of san francisco IIRC. They changed the name of UC at SF IIRC) No reason more research can't cure aging. View it as just a disease. Look at what science has done in its first 300 years. Forum www.imminst.org Academics (one at Oxford) discuss data.. www.grg.org

Kyoto too slow.
Other ideas: 3 that are very attractive for effectiveness, and fewer side effects than efforts closer to the surface. Orbital sunshade Orbital dust ring Orbital mirrors 3 fixes in the stratophere: - calcium, reflecting light - burn sulphur IN the strato.. reflects ...would fast-cool earth to pre-Industrial Age temp. (a 2 degree lowering.. by Dr. Izrael of Russia) Very attractive for effectiveness. - shoot sulphur particles up into strato ------------------------- Others: -Plastic sheets that catch air's CO2, then drop it off as a solid compound -Biochar fertilizer Good, as we need more food. -700 factories that deacidify our CO2-absorbing oceans, for a 1900 air-CO2 level. More than 700 would cool us faster. -Feed the ocean's plankton. (They remove CO2? Anyone able to clarify this?) Feed them phosphates IIRC.

Gov agency soundly refutes him. Not enough jobs for the jobless is the cause of unemployment. NEVER eno jobs even in WW2.
The LW activists oft don't know of the BLS data so don't refute the RW. Read my sig link pls.

Good motto
Another post here said nonunion supporters can join picket lines but check with captain of the line first to be sure. And natch, can bring snacks. Again, check with picket captain before baking cookies. Chicago's Labor Radio station coming back? Try wiki on homestead steel strike or Seattle strike (1912?) to get the feel of how it was, when unionism was at a peak. Haven't looked at wiki but both should be there. Also; Knights of Labor - so popular they turned away some who wanted to join. That's what I read! Hard to believe that. Might be an exaggeration. KoL about 1880 or so. Got us the secret ballot.

Which means "the cost to society at large, when (eg) a factory makes a fatter profit for the owner by not buying smokestack filters, and the emitted smoke then causes 30,000 cancer deaths in the town over the next 30 years."
A Progressive economy has a bottom line that combines profit at the factory, and all Social Costs. So it sees an overall "profit" when it spends to LOWER Social Cost. But our current Private Sector ignores Social Cost. -------------------- Want a great Jobs Program? See my sig below:

So... cut spending on the unemployed (at the bottom)
and wages fall. "Spending cuts = wage cuts" ------------------------- ------ ------------------ Now back up before spending cuts..... Cut taxes, and then one must cut spending So, putting it all together: "Tax cuts = wage cuts" Cut one dollar of tax And wages fall MANY dollars. This is the second most important pillar of corporate societies. Memorize it, please. N
