Siphene 100 mg (0 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Elmo Blank)
  Siphene 100 mg is a fertility drug used to increase the chance of getting pregnant. It is used to help women ovulate (produce a mature egg) properly during their cycle. Compared to other fertility treatments, clomiphene alone does not greatly increase your chances of having multiple babies. An increased chance of having twins may occur in roughly 5 out of every 100 women who take this medication. Occasionally clomiphene is prescribed to men with fertility problems due to low sperm counts.

Sleeping Through the TPP Coup: Why a Trans-National Corporate Power Grab That Hurts Almost Everyone Is Arousing So Little Outcry (6 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Ian Hansen)
  This series begins by introducing the Trans Pacific Partnership 'trade deal' scam and the undemocratic process by which its supporters are seeking to sneak it through Congress. After laying out some avenues for activism, I examine, from a social psychological perspective, the possible reasons for the current weakness of organized opposition to the deal.  Finally I propose some strategies for being an exception to these social psychological rules, and taking a more effective stand against this attempted corporate coup.    The series is divided into five parts.                    Part   1: What is the Trans-Pacific Partnership, And Why Don't I Care?   Part   2: A Social Psychology of Anti-TPP Coordination Failure   Part   3: The Puzzle of 'Liberal' Obama's Support for the TPP   Part   4: Pitting Fear of Our Complicity Against the Fear to Resist the TPP   Part   5: Battling the TPP with Enlightenment, Love and a Thirst For Meaning   in the Face of Death         [[TPP]]

Social Event Cascade (7 articles.) (# of views) (Created by P. Orin Zack)
As Rob Kall has said, it doesn't take a majority to cause change to happen. Each small action that anyone takes towards that change matters. Any of those small actions could inspire others to do something they might not otherwise have done, and perhaps trigger a cascade of individual actions that add up to that massive change. That one snowflake or footstep that triggered the avalanche was no different from any other, and yet the effect was huge. You cannot know that your action will not matter.

Social Justice (0 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Muhammad Irfan)
  Unfortunately, Pakistan whose creation was presupposed to be a testimonial for the Islamic fundamental principles lags behind in the subject of social justice implementation. Herein, the affluent families wielded a predominant control over Pakistan's decision making. This proved as a menace, which badly derailed the system from the exact path which was accountable for undertaking the right decision for a balanced society. There are three testaments through which the condition of social justice in Pakistan can be assessed.            Social Stratification            The sad factor of a society is to suffer social stratification. In fact, it depicts a society as a venue where the differences among the different segments are haplessly observed. In Pakistan, unfortunately, a class division, urban-rural stratification is evident where the elite class is addicted to show their supremacy by dint of immense riches through a variety of tactics. The elite class (exploitative segment) includes landlords, industrialists, military generals, civil bureaucrats and business tycoons.      They manage to stand as distinguished in the society. For the purpose, they utilize certain tactics. (a) They try to be immune from all kinds of moral, ethics and lawful norms. (b) They influence the local, district and divisional executive administration on account of the usage of immense of wealth flow. (c) This class manages to undergo personal links and approaches for setting up business in the coveted zones, discarding the merit.      (d) These big guns avail the services of riches in order to escape from being persecuted in the wake of committing a murder. (e) They mobilize the administration for the sake of being elected as the member of provincial and national assemblies, paving the way for social inequity and injustice. (f) They opt for disturbing the rule of merit, credibility, ability and quality by making the kith and kin inducted in the high posts. (g) These elements wield special control over the rates of commodities, hence making enormous profits though illegal. Under such circumstances, the social stratification is torment for the social justice.            Economic Equilibrium            It is also a criterion to estimate whether a society is entertained with the social justice. In the contemporary circumstances, Pakistani society gives a picture of an economically unbalanced community. The difference between the rich and poor was eminent since the sub-continent was portioned in 1947. More sad-fully, this class difference used to worsen with the passage of time.      Contemporarily, the current crises have added fuel to fire to the area disturbed a balance. The Pakistani populace is divided between rural and urban areas. In rural areas, the huge chunk of the population is directly associated with agriculture, which plays a pivotal role in the financial sector of the country. Nonetheless, this sector in Pakistan suffers bi-fold problems.      First, the farmers do not possess their owned lands where they can do sufficiently the agriculture jobs. Thus, they keep on falling the prey to the landlords' an exploitative mindset. This does not allow the community to contribute productively to the financial sector. Second, the current decline in the security and economic stability has deteriorated the agricultural outcomes the farmers expect in the return of hard work and invested capitals. The corps produced after investing costly fertilizers and soared prices of diesel are unlikely to get the due market rates.      This moribund situation has a negative impact on the rural economy, which discourages the farmers and averts the attention towards opting alternative earning sources. Accordingly, the financial difference among the different classes, contrary to the social justice, is deepening day by day. The urban areas are also not immune to the deterioration in economic equilibrium.      In fact, the business tycoons in the urban and metropolitan hubs avoid from paying taxes and even bills for electricity usage. Thus, the burden of taxation, the common person has to bear, which is baleful for his bargaining capability. Consequently, the rich get richer and the poor become poorer, which widens the class gap.

  We are living in a tumultuous time of crisis that is predicted to worsen. Although we can observe the economic, political, social and environmental crises we are just starting to face...going to the root, we find that these are the result of our immaturity and unconsciousness as a species. It is as if we are asleep at the wheel. The question: will we wake up in time to transform 'the Great Unravelling' into 'the Great Turning?'  

Spinning in Circles and Learning from Myself: A Book of Stories that Grow Up (6 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Tsara Shelton)
It was a simple comment to one of my articles on OpEdNews that encouraged the idea for this book to blossom. 'Gather articles into a book.' And so I looked back at my stories, blog posts, and articles. I saw that over time they revealed what I believe to be a true example of ideas, beliefs, and me, a woman, growing up. Topics such as poverty, prejudice, rape, and mental health are explored. Always with a hope to discover and share actionable answers.Always, answers are discovered!
