While many countries, including the United States and Britain, still struggle to convince ambivalent mothers, Norway and its neighbor Sweden have overwhelmingly succeeded in promoting the benefits of breast milk. |

- Parce qu'elle croyait que le monde était comme elle, sans histoire, sans a priori sur les autres ... Parce qu'elle ne raffolait que très moyennement des ragots, surtout ceux emprunts de méchanceté envers les autres ... Parce que lorsqu'elle a des amis, elle ne sent pas l'obligation de jouer l'hypocrise jusqu'à traîner avec les gens qu'elle aime moins pour faire moins d'histoire ... Elle a découvert que la réalité ne ressemblait en rien à ce qu'elle imaginait, mais simplement que les autres aussi, ils pensent que le reste du monde fait comme eux. Elle a découvert que les autres essayaient d'adapter ses actions à leur mode de pensée. |

- J'ai tant songé à toi que tu en perds ton exactitude. J'ai tant songé à toi que mes bras habitués étreignent ton ombre à se croiser sur mes épaules. Et que, devant l'apparence réelle de ce qui me hante et me gouverne depuis des jours, je deviendrais une ombre sans doute. Retiens-moi ... Il faut que je m'éveille. |

- There's a wonderful front and back contrast in today's print edition of the Financial Times. The front page lead is about the potential $15 billion IPO of Google. The back page is about today's last-ever flight of Concorde (subscribers only, for inexplicable reasons). |

- That's two great engineering achievements. One seemingly early in its ascendency, the other long since an odd heritage object. Unsurprisingly, I use Google countless times a day. It would be hard to imagine work without it, although if Google didn't exist, I suspect we'd be getting along reasonably well with one of the alternatives. How enduring Google's dominance will prove is far harder to judge. |

- But it's exceedingly rare for even the smartest companies to successfully handle successive waves of technological change. When I interviewed Bill Gates years ago, he noted, "To think that the same companies will be the biggest 25 years from now is mind-boggling. For [Microsoft to do that] it will take two or three miracles. One or two by me, one or two by my successors. We've managed three in a row [so far in our history], and three in a row is the best anyone has done. |

Concorde (Oct 24 2003 17:42 GMT) - Concorde, of course, was never the world's biggest or most successful anything. But it is still, 34 years after its first flight, the most beautiful thing in the sky. It's a clear, lovely autumn day in London today. So around 4pm, probably when I'm walking the children home from school, we'll look up to a very familiar roar in the sky and watch Concorde for the last time. |

- Homeopathy effective against arsenic poisoning in mice "The researchers took groups of five mice either with or without arsenic poisoning and drop fed them Arsenicum Album, distilled water, or alcohol that had been through the same preparation procedure as the homeopathic antidote. "Two different dilutions of the homeopathic remedy cut the levels of two liver enzymes - ALT and AST - which are indicators of liver toxicity and are boosted by arsenic poisoning... "Distilled water had no effect on either enzyme. And alcohol actually enhanced the activity of AST." |

- Halliburton helps itself "The head of an Iraqi oil agency said yesterday that his group had been trucking in gasoline and other fuel to Iraq for considerably less money than Halliburton, which has so far received more than $700 million from the Army Corps of Engineers to stave off shortages there. "Although it initially appeared that Halliburton was gouging only American taxpayers, it now seems that the company is overcharging the humanitarian Oil for Food program and the Iraqi people as well. This significantly compounds the implications of Halliburton's actions." |
