Kony 2012 Isn't Alone: 7 Other Charities Fighting For Child Soldiers

Kony 2012 Isn't Alone: 7 Other Charities Fighting For Child Soldiers: "After it exploded across social-media fronts Wednesday, the "Kony 2012" campaign was met with fiery reactions across the board.

Advocates, who were disgusted by the way the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army enlists Ugandan child soldiers to advance his corrupt regime, helped make the documentary about Joseph Kony go viral. It's racked up more than 38 million views on YouTube. But those with a more suspicious eye took a critical look at Invisible Children, the organization behind the documentary. They've questioned the organization's spending practices, military action support and failure to hold Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni accountable."

Between men and women there is no friendship possible

“Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.” -  Oscar Wilde

It’s an old quote that’s revisited by Billy Crystal in When Harry Met Sally -- there’s no such thing as a platonic relationship between a man and a woman. The man is usually consumed with the idea of sleeping with her. It’s a belief widely acknowledged by men, but rarely accepted by women. Remember that. Movie and dinner nights might mean one thing to you, but she certainly doesn’t view it as a precursor to intercourse.

Another World
The planet Saturn is captured in a photograph taken by the Cassini orbiter. Carolyn Porco, the leader of the Imaging Team on the Cassini mission to Saturn, comments, "This year we had the thrill of observing the Saturn equinox. That's the moment when the sun, seen from Saturn, crosses the equator going from south to north. The sun sets on the rings, illuminating them edge-on. The geometry revealed structures and phenomena in the rings we had never seen before. We saw this famous adornment spring from two dimensions into three, with some ring structures soaring as high as the Rocky Mountains. It made me feel blessed."

Job worries can damage health

Job worries can damage health
Worrying about the looming threat of unemployment can be more damaging to a person`s health than actually being jobless, according to a US study.

With the United States suffering its worst recession since the depression, researchers set out to look at how job insecurity impacted the health of workers.

"This study provides the strongest evidence to date that persistent job insecurity has a negative impact on worker health," said sociologist Sarah Burgard of the University of Michigan Institute of Social Research.

"It may seem surprising that chronically high job insecurity is more strongly linked with health declines than actual job loss or unemployment."

Burgard and her colleagues James House and Jennie Brand, of the University of California, Los Angeles, assessed the impact of job insecurity by analyzing data on 1,700 adults and studies conducted between 1986 and 1989 and from 1995 and 2005.

In one group included in the research published in the journal Social Science and Medicine, they found that chronic job insecurity was a stronger predictor of poor health than either smoking or high blood pressure.

Unrelenting nature of uncertainty

The researchers questioned people about the likelihood of losing their main job in the next couple of years and the chances of holding on to the position.

They also asked people to rate their overall health and used a scale of depressive symptoms to gauge their mood and psychological health.

The research included people who had lost their jobs and those who had managed to get back into the labor force.

"We definitely found that persistent job insecurity had a stronger impact on health decline than those job losses. This is among people who managed to get back in," Burgard told Reuters.

"Persistent stress is a strain on people. It is the unrelenting nature of the uncertainty that really gets you."

She added that the long-term nature of job insecurity can raise blood pressure and change levels of stress hormones that over-time can lead to health problems.

"Anything that employers can do to provide more information for workers about what is likely to happen is probably a good thing," said Burgard.

One of the most stressful aspects of job loss is losing the benefits that go with it. Unlike many European countries which have nationalized health systems, health coverage in the United States is tied to employment.

"I think that is part of the reason we are finding the large effects of persistent insecurity. There are real consequences if you lose your job in the U.S.," Burgard explained.

"This is one of the big issues that we think make it a particularly salient stressor for people."

She suggested people facing potential unemployment should try to exert as much control as possible and to make a plan. If they have health coverage through their job they should use it while they still can.
