It is not a secret about what kind of issues China has about their population. Some of us do not agree with only having one child.
In 1979, China decided to stop a family from having any more than a single offspring.
This has brought about much disagreement. The Chinese have been blamed for evil acts of abortion to eating their young because of this particular law.
It has also brought on the rising amounts of abandonment of female babies.
The Chinese cherish males over females because the males are able to carry on the family name.

One tendency that is quite noticeable amongst parents all around the world is to present their kids with all sorts of gifts. This is only expected. Children after all are the centres around which the life of parents revolves. It is therefore very natural for them to give the very best to their kids. However, parents would do well to know that expensive gifts are not necessarily useful also. Yes, one must understand that merely by throwing money one would not necessarily get a gift which would be useful for his kid.

How long is the history of stunt kites? Or, since when have kites had 2 or more lines attached for doing tricks and stunts? Here’s a few details if you’re curious!
The Beginnings
During the second world war, some naval antiaircraft gunners were trained using steerable 2 line kites that flew like modern stunt kites with two control lines. A pilot on the ground would fly the kite around, making it hard to hit. I’ve seen a photo, the kite itself really looked like a diamond stunter. A fairly big one, standing about as tall as the man holding it. The concept was developed by Paul Garber, a U.S. Navy Commander. Perhaps the history of stunt kites starts right here!

Nothing captures the essence of a relationship between a brother and sister like the wonderful Indian Festival ‘Raksha Bandhan’. Raksha means ‘to protect’, and Bandhan means ‘bond’, therefore Rakhi is a bond of protection. Each year on Rakhi day, sister tie a Rakhi or an amulet around their brother’s wrist as a protecting charm. They appeal to God to always protect her brother and bestow all happiness upon them.
Raksha Bandhan is a Hindu custom marking the love and affection between brothers and sisters. It is celebrated on “Shravan Sud Poornima” every year according to the Hindu calendar. A celebration of bonds between brother and sister, the family holiday of Raksha Bandhan (Rakhi) is celebrated in most Indian communities around the world.

Baby Boomers, in case you’ve never heard of us, are folks that were born between 1946 and 1964. My own family of origin happens to have five baby boomers: myself, born in 1948, a sister born in 1950, a brother born in 1952, a sister born in 1955 and a sister born in 1960. We all love music and grew up with radios, hifi’s and finally stereo’s blaring. Even though we were preacher’s kids we loved the popular music of our day. I have fond memories of my sister and me standing on the sidewalk outside our home, holding sticks as pretend microphones and singing “Standing on the Sidewalk, Watching all the Girls Go By.”
