POPSUnexploded landmines? Call the HeroRats! More: The cheapness of breeding and maintaining them is further helped by their ability to adapt to a number of environments. Once they are trained the rats seem to actively enjoy performing repetitive tasks and they do not get stressed if their trainers are changed in the way that dogs will. Plus of course – one serious advantage over dogs – they are too light to detonate a mine by themselves if they step on it. A living rat is better than a canine cadaver… The HeroRATS are currently deployed in Mozambique where they have enabled over one thousand families to reclaim their land. They have also helped with clearing areas so that power lines can be passed through – so bringing electricity which would not otherwise have been possible to over ten thousand local citizens. It is hoped that they will soon be deployed to Zambia, Congo and Angola as well, but negotiations are still underway.

POPSWhy Can’t The Silver-Tongued Post-Partisan Healer Seal The Deal? by Mark Steyn
population outside the current system, why is it necessary to destabilize the arrangements of the 90 percent within it? Well, says the president, not so fast. Lots of people with insurance run into problems when they change jobs or move to another state. Okay, In that case, why not ease the obstacles to health-care portability? Well, says the president, shuffling his cups and moving the pea under another shell, we’re spending too much on health care. By “we’re,” he means you and you and you and you and millions of other Americans making individual choices over which he casually claims collective jurisdiction. And that, ultimately, gets closer than anything else he says to giving the game away. For most of the previous presidency, the Left accused George W. Bush of using 9/11 as a pretext to attack Iraq. Since January, his successor has used the economic slump as a pretext to “reform” health care. Most voters don’t buy it: They see it as Obama’s “war of choice,” . . .

POPSChildbirth is now pornographic? I can understand some people feeling squimish about witnessing childbirth. IMO, being the father of 3 sons, I do not hold that position myself. In fact, this whole story screams politics. Now I don't know the legal requirements of pornography in Zambia. In the US a key element is the elicitation of sexual arousal. If that is an element of porno in Zambia than to assume that someone would be aroused by pictures of a fatal childbirth seem absurd. Additionally, the story indicates something of the cultural mindset in Zambia. Whether it is misogynistic or simply puritanical is hard for an outsider to evaluate.

POPSThe Africa Vulnerable Children Project Imagine living in a community of 11,000 people (3,000 of them children) crammed into an area of 4 square kilometers. Imagine five people dying every day from preventable causes. Imagine being 30 years old and not once in your life having had a drink of clean, safe water. Imagine knowing that the water you give your children is sickening and killing them, but there is no alternative. Imagine 80% unemployment. Imagine no medical care. Imagine your home collapsing around you during the rainy season. Imagine children playing in open sewers. For the people of Kantolomba, Zambia, this is reality. Now imagine children attending school every day and being given healthy food and clean water. Imagine clean water for the entire community. Imagine a medical clinic. Imagine roofs on the houses so they don't fall down. Imagine job training and support for micro-businesses. This is becoming reality. You can help.
