Sri Lanka: Why a Feudal Culture & Absence of Meritocracy Bankrupted a Nation
BROMLEY, UK, Jul 19 (IPS) - Sri Lanka is officially bankrupt and a failed state in all but name. How did a country of 22 million people with a level of literacy on par with most of the developed world end up in such a dire position where the state coffers did not have the measly sum of 20 million dollars to purchase fuel to keep the country functioning beyond the next working day?

Reject CPTPP, Stay out of New Cold War
KUALA LUMPUR and SYDNEY, Jul 19 (IPS) - Joining or ratifying dubious trade deals is supposed to offer miraculous solutions to recent lacklustre economic progress.

Hormonal Imbalance in Women: Top Causes and Home Remedies

How Scotland Is Reinventing Its Centuries-Old Canals for Paddlers
Canals were all built by hand before we had railroads and railroads did not become really effective until the mid nineteenth century either. Bessemer steel making fixed all that. Any canal is a natural walking trail and park allowing hikers an unending day trip. Then you have water recreation in which the canal is plausibly the safest possible location. Totally passable for most rec boats down to canoes. So yes, we have massive infrastructure that is easy enough to maintain by local governments and a public need for large working public rec parks which canals serve admirably. ... read more

Product Review: A Fantastic Organic Red Wine Selection From Ettore of California
Recently I had the opportunity to try some organic wine from a company that has endeared itself to me quite a bit over the past few months, Ettore Organic Winery in Mendocino, California.

That shows how much I wasn’t thinking at the time, and how limited my knowledge of wine is in comparison with my knowledge of superfoods. While I have been a moderate wine drinker for most of my adult life, I still wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I ... read more
