What good has modernity done for us? Have we, humans, become more civilized? Modernity has helped us to invent cures for different diseases, but it has also created Cancer, HIV, Bird Flu, Mad Cow's Disease and tragically failed to cure Bo lowyooh and Khaz Baz.
Modernity helped us beat distance with cars, trains, and airplanes, but it screwed the planet from behind, and within 2-3 generations, Planet Earth will be Planet Wasteland. Trust me, it won't be as pretty as T.S. Elliot's poem, and you are not going to be driving your Cayenne or sailing your yacht to anywhere nice.
Modern thinkers created democracy and human rights. Hoooorraaay ... All humans will live in justice. But wait, the presumably most democratic country, and the world's claimed human rights' defender is the US, and it has caused only recently more death and destruction than the bad deeds achieved by Bin Laden, Stalin, Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Dr. Evil, Grandayzar, Mr. Freez, Al-Hajjaj, Khomainy, Nabba6at Bosamra and Um 9achmat 7ammod, all combined.
You might say Americans are fakes, and Europeans are for real. Modernity is the product of Europe a9lan - you might say this while toying with your PowerBook- and if one is looking for democracy, one should be talking about Europe. Come on guys. We all know it. Europe still stinks with racism (no generalization meant here). The Jews learned that before us, and from a quick look at European governments' new policies concerning Muslims in their countries and the statements' of Pope Abendectictactoc XIV, I think another Holocaust (Yes, it's a Spa) is going to take place in Europe. Muslims will be invited there for a warm dialogue of civilizations.
Back to modernity. Yes, modern thinkers came up with feminism (Yaaaaaay). Chicks now can kick boys' asses with some smart, sassy talk about how uncivilized men seek to oppress women and how chicks should get up and stand up to make men lie on their bellies while having sex with their female partners. Some men liked the idea ...why not? Feminism is sexy for some men because they would like to try how it feels to be spanked.
Unfortunately, 13% of females, who came up with the idea and fostered it, were too high to implement it. 25% were jealous because the idea was not theirs, so they decided to dub feminists “Godless Bitches.” 38% were married and were too busy raising their kids and making sure that their husbands were not cheating on them. 29% are still arguing about the definition of feminism (I actually heard a nice lady saying that feminism is the religion for HM Madonna's worshippers), and 80% are busy looking for Mr. Whoever, who will make them hate sex and metamorphose into heartless Femi-nazis.
Modernism, modernity, Mo6ern, Mo-dren-dren (Tarrik or dig heren), call it whatever you want. It's a fucking bad practical joke (Ashkara Dagga). If we are now modern creatures living a modern life with better standards and more civilized concepts and relationships, how come men still dominate every fucking aspect of this world? Let's examine the mating system in modern life as it is the most basic male-female relationship.
From my personal experience (nothing scientific), I know that many women - both eastern and western- feel more attracted to stronger men. Many of them also would like to see their men's power/authority practiced in their relationships as proof of this claimed power. Why?
Jumping from personal experience to science, I'd like to mention that stronger male mammals mate with more females. In more common words, stronger male mammals get laid more often. That had been scientifically proven as I was told in an 'animal behavior' class back in college.
Biologists also say that female mammals are more attracted to stronger males because they can provide them with security/protection, especially when they're parenting. One strategy practiced by male mammals to attract females is bluffing. Several studies have revealed that male mammals with better bluffing skills get more pu#*y than others, which tells me that females do buy into the stupid male bluffing.
Moreover, according to uncle Darwin, humans are mammals. I'm convinced that many women (no generalization being made) feel safer when their partners push them around. As I earlier said, it is proof -be it real or false- of their men's power and ability to protect them and their kids. Let me make another personal note: In all of the gay/lesbian couples I encountered during my college years, one of the partners would be the bossy/strong and the other partner enjoyed being pushed around. Now, that tells me something about relationship-dynamics in our civilized era.
You may plausibly argue that we are not mere mammals, but we are unique, articulate human beings who create laws and negotiate to achieve peace. I would argue back that this is an illusion. According to a statistic published in the Sept./Oct. 2006 issue of Foreign Affairs Journal (I’m not making this up - not this one.), the latest century was the bloodiest ever. Hulaku’s era sounds like a fairy tale, compared to the warfare and killings we, human beings, have committed during our "civilized" era.
Wake up people. Grass is more comfortable than asphalt and concrete. The sky is more spectacular than the ceiling in San Lorenzo's Church. Let’s get naked and run back to the forest. Let’s start all over. We might find a nicer path.
That’s an honest romantic invitation to postmodernism that you shouldn’t take seriously.
Demand to grow more than 10% per year through 2011 The fluid handling pump market in China has expanded 17.3 percent a year during the last five years and reached ¥38.1 billion in 2006. Demand is projected to increase 10.5 percent per annum through 2011 to ¥62.9 billion. Gains will be driven by strong growth in pump-using industries in China, such as process manufacturing, public utilities and resource extraction.
Utilities construction market to post strong gains
The utilities segment is expected to post double-digit annual gains through 2011, benefiting from a large and increasing population, and further industrialization and economic expansion, which generate high demand for power and water from residential, commercial and industrial markets. In addition, the Chinese government’s “Go West” strategy will boost utility pump demand in China’s relatively underdeveloped western regions.
Process manufacturing to remain largest, fastest growing market
The process manufacturing market will continue to be the largest consumer of pumps in the Chinese economy due to the wide range of applications and significant fluid handling requirements in many of these industries. In addition, this market is expected to exhibit the fastest growth in pump demand through 2011, benefiting from expanding output in most process industries, with particularly strong gains in primary metal production. Gains will be bolstered by the continued expansion of aftermarket prospects among process manufacturers, particularly in the chemical, primary metal, pulp and paper, and petroleum refining industries, which handle large volumes of harsh fluids. Aftermarket demand will also be supported by increasingly stringent energyefficiency and environmental protection requirements in China.
Specialty pumps to exhibit most rapid growth
Specialty pumps such as corrosionresistant types will see the fastest demand increases. Gains will be driven by the robust outlook for most process manufacturing industries in China, which are important consumers of these pumps, and stricter efficiency and safety requirements within these industries. Technological innovations will also promote the use of specialty pumps, but will somewhat dampen growth in replacement demand due to associated improvements in durability. Centrifugal pumps will remain the most commonly used pump design in China, benefiting from their ability to carry a wide range of flow pressure, good load handling capability, effective handling of liquids with high solids content, and relatively low maintenance costs. Technological innovations will further improve their versatility and also drive demand for centrifugal pumps.
Regional opportunities vary
The Central-East has traditionally seen the highest levels of pump sales in China. The region is also expected to be the fastest-growing regional market for pumps through 2011. Large shares of overall national manufacturing activity, fixed investment and construction expenditures will boost the economic outlook in the Central-East and sustain a vast pump market in this region. The expected expansion of the current high growth seen in the overall Chinese economy to the as yet underdeveloped rural and western areas of China will create significant opportunities for pump suppliers.
Study coverage
It presents historical demand data (1996, 2001 and 2006) plus forecasts for 2011 and 2016by type, market, and region. This study also assesses market environment factors, evaluates company market share and pro- files Chinese industry competitors.

Chris Paul and the Hornets reached a contract agreement Thursday that could keep the All-Star point guard with the team for at least the next four seasons. Lance Young, Paul's agent, said Paul agreed to a three-year extension with a player's option for a fourth year. The total value of the deal is $68 million.
Paul, who recently completed his third NBA season and has been selected to play for the United States in the Olympics, has one season remaining on his current contract. Under league rules, the first day the Hornets can formalize Paul's new contract is July 9.
Paul and Young met with Hornets general manager Jeff Bower at the team's training center in suburban New Orleans on Wednesday, but Young, who is based in the Washington, D.C., area with the sports management and marking company Octagon, flew home Thursday morning without the final details nailed down.

Humor Gus Dur
Seorang ajudan Presiden Clinton dari Amerika lagi jalan-jalan di Jakarta. Karena bingung dan tersesat, dia kemudian bertanya kepada seorang penjual rokok, "Apa betul ini Jalan Sudirman?" " Ho ... oh!" jawab si penjual rokok.
Karena bingung dengan jawaban tersebut dia kemudian bertanya lagi kepada seorang Polisi yang sedang mengatur lalu lintas "Apa ini Jalan Sudirman?" di jawab oleh Polisi "Betul!"
Karena bingung mendapat jawaban yang berbeda akhirnya dia bertanya kepada Gus Dur yang waktu itu kebetulan melintas bersama ajudan setianya, "Apa ini Jalan Sudirman?" dijawab oleh Gus Dur "Benar!"
Bule itu semakin bingung saja karena mendapat tiga jawaban yang berbeda. Lalu akhirnya dia bertanya kepada Gus Dur lagi mengapa waktu tanya tukang rokok dijawab "Ho ... oh!" lalu tanya Polisi dijawab "Betul!" dan yang terakhir dijawab Gus Dur dengan kata "Benar!"
Gus Dur tertegun untuk sejenak lalu dia berkata "Ooh begini, kalau Anda bertanya kepada tamatan SD maka jawabannya adalah Ho ... oh, kalau yang bertanya kepada tamatan SMA maka jawabannya adalah betul, sedangkan kalau yang bertanya kepada tamatan Universitas maka jawabannya adalah benar!" Ajudan Clinton itu mengangguk dan akhirnya bertanya, "Jadi Anda ini adalah seorang sarjana?"
Dengan spontan Gus Dur menjawab, "Ho ... oh!"
