Archive | Boycott of Olympic Games in China. Tibet is still occupied by Chinese troops. Protests against the occupation are still being greeted with exceptional force. This is not acceptable, as such the Olympic Games should have been cancelled, or moved to a civilised and democratic land where human rights, copyrights and democracy are respected. China should officially recognise Tibet as a land in its own right and move all its forces and chinese immigrants out
May 2008 - Now that the Chinese govenment is using the Earthquake to play down its role in Tibet, it is time to work harder towards a solution!
The latest Tibet news and the latest Olympics news. Dalai Lama may step down. Why does China remain in Tibet? Five of the largest rivers in the World start in Tibet. China needs hydro-electric power. Tibet is apparently rich in gas and oil as well. A Gas pipeline is currently being built. So, if you do not have it, take it. Photo nicolls d.zine - www.nicolls.de ©. Taken in Hamburg 2007

China banned domestic trade in all tigers and tiger parts in 1993, but is considering reopening the business based on farm bred, captive animals. All trade with China should be stopped until all human rights and many other issues have been resolved. Hong Kong should be given back. More...

Those who smoke are responsible for killing themselves, those that involve others and loved ones should be punished. Price rises and higher taxes are needed. Treatment for smoking related illness should be paid for by the smokers themselves. All those who have lost a family member should take part in this war against stupidity

A general smoking ban with fines in bars, restaurants, trains, buses and public places appears to be the only way for non-smokers. The level of respect shown to non-smokers in Germany over the years has shown that the introduction of laws and fines were the only sensible option. Click here.
UK | 1st July 2007 - England celebrates victory over smokers as the new bans take force! At least half a million deaths a year are likely to be prevented by England's smoking ban in indoor places. Employers get ready to crack down on smoking breaks. Click here.

Tsunami. Japanese term (literally meaning "big wave") now generally used for an unusual, very large wave or series of waves. Tsunamis are generated either by submarine earthquakes, by landslides or by effects of volcanic eruptions (such as the collapse of a caldera in the sea). Tsunamis have long wavelengths and small wave heights on the open sea. As water depth decreases near land the wavelength diminishes and the wave height increases dramatically which may lead to catastrophic flooding of coastal areas. Tsunamis may deceive coastal residents in that a wave trough may arrive before the first wave crest
