Next week, according to United Nations projections(预测), the world will pass seven billion in population, and by the end of this century it's likely to grow by half again to ten billion. What will determine their quality of life? From an economist's view, what matters is the productivity of the ten billion—will they be educated and have jobs that contribute to economic growth? From a sociologist's view, what matters is whether the ten billion are socialized into stable roles in society—can they build families and join communities where they have dignity and focus on building for the future? From a political scientist's view, what matters is the quality of government in countries where most of the ten billion will live—will those governments avoid corruption, enforce the rule of law, and protect participation and civil rights? At present, the prospects are not bright. While most of the world's capital, managerial experience, and engineering expertise is concentrated in the high-income and emerging economies of Europe, China, North America, and Japan, none of those areas will be significant contributors to future population growth. Even China, is now reaping(获得)the results of its one-child policy and is projected to suffer a decline in population of 400 million by 2100. Three billion additional people will join the world this century, and virtually all of them will be growing up in countries that today are rated by the George Mason University Fragile States Index as having governments that have serious, high, or extreme fragility. These are governments that do not enforce the rule of law, have high rates of internal violence, and do a poor job providing education and jobs for their people.

CATV is a short way of saying "community antenna(天线)television". But "cable television" is the term most people use. Cable television allows【D1】 1to receive TV programs that they cannot pick up with their【D2】 2antennas. Television signals do not【D3】 3the curve of the earth.

Internet use appears to cause a drop in psychological health, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University. Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more bad feelings and loneliness than those who was online less frequently, the two-year study showed. Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others. The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in psychological health, researchers hypothesized (推测). Faceless, bodiless "virtual" (虚的) communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives. "But it' s important to remember this is not about the technology, it' s about how it is used," says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the study' s sponsors(发起人) . "It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology."

The Esky, a great Australian invention—it' s about as important to the Australian household as a BBQ(吃烧烤的野餐). How else would we move our carefully prepared food and drink around without having it spoilt. Though it is a regular problem with Esky, you also need to plan. If you haven' t had a freeze pack, then you'll need to go out and buy a bag of ice (maybe even several bags of ice). Get a Portable Mini Fridge and you'll save on the bags of ice as well as a good deal on cleaning time. The Portable Mini Fridge requires a 12V DC supply, and you'll find this thermo electric cooler the best thing invented since sliced bread (near enough anyway). One thing this car fridge has over your average Esky—it'll warm to 60—65°C. . . and it does all this without any environmental pollution. Apart from basic cleaning, this thermo electric warmer is largely non-wearing and maintenance-free. At last, an affordable mini fridge for your car or boat will help save those green vegetables or fruits better, also it will keep the shape of an ice cream, this may help you feel very happy.
