"Upon waking, I thought the meeting imaginary, since the woman told me her town sat on the river across from the Ukraine—and I felt confident that Moldova did not share a border with ukraine. Since this dream occurred only a few years after the breakup of the Soviet Union, I decided to investigate Moldova's location and was stunned to discover that Moldova bordered the ukraine and shared a river. I even found the likely town of the librarian from her pronunciation." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.)

"The top ten producers of grain include Russia, Canada, the United States, Poland, Finland, Australia, Germany, Belarus, People's Republic of China, and the ukraine. Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota, Iowa, and central Canada lead in oat production in North America. Why Should I Eat Oats? Oats contain healthy amounts of vitamin E, several B vitamins, the minerals calcium, magnesium, and potassium, and the trace minerals selenium, copper, zinc, iron, and manganese. They are rich in the phytochemicals 1,3-beta-glucan and avenanthramides. Oats contribute both soluble and insoluble fiber." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)

"By the middle of the fourth century, the Ostrogothic kingdom covered an enormous expanse, from the Dniester (the border between Ostrogoths and Visigoths) to the Don in the ukraine, and from the north shore of the Black Sea to what is now Belorussia. Their easterly position granted them an early encounrer with the Huns, who conquered them in the early 370s. Given their brief appearance on history's stage, and the contempt with which contemporaries described them?" - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"The only country that came close to the United States was perennially troubled ukraine.) Americans described themselves as being particularly vulnerable to anxiety disorders and impulse-control disorders, reporting them at double the rates of every other country but Colombia and France. Almost 8 percent of Americans reported having suffered from a serious mental disorder, a rate about three times higher than any other developed country in the survey.44 In reporting the story, The New York Times stated, bluntly, about Americans: "Most Will Be Mentally 111 at Some Point, Study Says." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"Russell's argument is fairly weak, however, given the lack of any real evidence for plague in the extensive prairie that runs from Mongolia to ukraine until the year 6io22 and not really very much at all until the second great pandemic that devastated Europe in the fourteenth century. Choosing berween India and Africa is more difficult; Pauline Allen argued persuasively for an Indian origin, citing the migration of R. rattus westward as a stowaway in uncounted thousands of cargo ships sailing back and forth between Ethiopia and India." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"The top producers are Russia, Germany, ukraine, France, Canada, Turkey, Australia, and the United States. North Dakota contributes most of the United States' grain. Why Should I Eat Barley? Barley is a good source of insoluble and soluble fiber. Beta-glucans, which lower cholesterol and aid in immune function, are found in the soluble fiber portion. In fact, barley is the richest source of beta-glucans compared to any other grain." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.) "Poland, Germany, ukraine, and Austria also grow currants commercially. There is very little commercial production in the United States; however, Oregon, Washington, and New York grow them at modest levels. Why Should I Eat Currants? Currants are an excellent source of vitamin C and fiber, and a good source of calcium, iron, potassium, and vitamins A and B. Currants are rich in the phytochemical ellagic acid, a phenolic compound that may reduce some cancers and cholesterol, and anthocyanins, which have shown antiinflammatory and antioxidant properties." - David W.

"Within seven centuries their descendants had slashed and burned their way from the Balkans to the Netherlands and east into the ukraine. Each planting season, thick gray smoke mingled with leaping flames in the hazy blue sky. The farmers prepared for this moment for days, felling small trees and low branches, spreading dry undergrowth over the ground between the massive oaks. The woodsmen used stone axes to topple the long, straight trunks, then hammered wedges into them to split long planks for their communal houses and barns." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Since this dream occurred only a few years after the breakup of the Soviet Union, I decided to investigate Moldova's location and was stunned to discover that Moldova bordered the ukraine and shared a river. I even found the likely town of the librarian from her pronunciation. (Isn't it strange that the name of the city was in Moldovan or Russian, while our conversation seemed in English except for the name of the town?) If this person exists in waking reality, I would recognize her by a distinctive facial mole near her nose." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.)

"The masses made a significant statement, but the cry of resistance that resounded the loudest was actually a silent and singular one—expressed through sign language via an interpreter for Ukraine's state-run television station. On November 25, according to the Washington Post, as Natalia Dmytruk signed the news of the elections on TV, she took the opportunity, standing live on national television, to stop interpreting the newscaster and to tell deaf Ukrainians what she felt they needed to know: "I am addressing everybody who is deaf in the ukraine. Our president is Viktor Yushchenko." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"A second study predicts that heatwaves could be up to 65 days longer across all the major tourist areas of the Mediterranean: Spain, Portugal, southern France, Italy, Greece and Turkey, with ripple effects reaching as far as southern Russia and ukraine. In essence, hot subtropical climate zones now located in North Africa will have spread north into the heart of Europe. Even in the more temperate climes on the far side of the Alps, the mercury will be hitting new heights." - Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.)

"On November 25, according to the Washington Post, as Natalia Dmytruk signed the news of the elections on TV, she took the opportunity, standing live on national television, to stop interpreting the newscaster and to tell deaf Ukrainians what she felt they needed to know: "I am addressing everybody who is deaf in the ukraine.

"A preliminary report from the ukraine on the use of flower pollen in humans with rheumatoid arthritis (page 387) suggested positive effects on related disorders of the liver, gallbladder, stomach, and intestine.15 Pollen extracts have been used orally to desensitize people to plants to which they are allergic (page 14).16,17,18,19,20 For example, in a double-blind study, people with hay fever (page 211) allergies to grass pollen were asked to place drops of liquid grass pollen extract under their tongues daily for three weeks, using a gradually increasing concentration." - Alan R.

"Big grain producers like China, Brazil, and the ukraine are entering the breech, and taking America's place by supplying non-genetically engineered corn and other crops to Europe and the many other countries that are following its lead. Meanwhile, the Economic Research Service reports that the use of genetically engineered seeds, which come with a higher price tag for the farmer than traditionally bred seeds—and a lower cost for inputs like pesticides and herbicides—has still not meant an overall improvement in the financial status of American farmers." - Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.)

"There was course after course of zakuski: fish with horseradish, ox cheek in aspic, beetroot caviare, cheeses from the ukraine, pizzas—Russians claim to have invented them—and vodka so cold there was ice on the bottle. Next morning we were to leave the train on an empty stomach and into bitter fog. There were dogs on the Petersburg platform. Families brought them like friends. A cocker spaniel, borzois and huge wolfhounds. Solzhenitsyn wrote: Nowadays we do not think much of a man's love for an animal; we laugh at people who are attached to cats." - Michael Gearin-Tosh, Living Proof: A Medical Mutiny (Get the book.)

"Consider the peaceful revolutions of the ukraine, Georgia, the Czechoslovakian states, The Philippines and the new Russia. Fear is what keeps the world "stuck" in its unhealthy spiral. People's basic desire is for love and its manifestations: acceptance, respect, safety and financial security. The fear of being without any of these drives the fear that taints the world. Meeting fear with love, understanding, empathy and consideration is a powerful and unexpected message, and has the ability to defuse fear, change thinking and take the anger out of any confrontation." - Jackie Lapin, The Art of Conscious Creation: How You Can Transform the World (Get the book.)

"But the problem is that since 1990 the health status—all markers of health—have shown a worsening situation in ukraine," Kukhar said. Infectious diseases were increasing, as were heart disease, traumas, poisoning, accidents ... everything." - Laurie Garrett, Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health (Get the book.) "Ukraine, 17 liters.31 Bad as that was, it soon got much worse in Russia, Belarus, ukraine, and other parts of the region. In the fall of 1998 Russia's President Yeltsin announced that Russia's populationwide average had reached more than 25 liters of pure ethanol equivalent a year. Adjusting for age, that implied that Russian adults were—on average—consuming an astonishing three bottles of high-proof vodka a week. Another terrible trend emerged from the adult alcoholism upswing: child abuse and abandonment." - Laurie Garrett, Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health (Get the book.) "At a similar stand in Kyiv, ukraine, a former schoolteacher diagnosed an elderly woman's arthritis and sold her ampules of steroids that the bewildered woman was told to self-inject. In the Siberian city of Irkutsk, a woman who described herself as a housewife diagnosed ailments in an open market and freely prescribed antibiotics. While quacks and marketeers dispensed admonishments against vaccination and bolstered the widespread misuse of antibiotics, infectious disease tolls rose dramatically.96 Rheumatic fever raged across western ukraine, for example, in the rural Lviv area." - Laurie Garrett, Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health (Get the book.)

"France's wheat loss was 20 percent, England's 12 percent, and Ukraine's a staggering 80 percent. In the previous year, 2002, Central Europe had been afflicted with unprecedented floods, called the worst in five hundred years and resulting in more than $15 billion in damage. In Dresden the Elbe River reached thirty-one feet above flood stage, the highest level since records began in the sixteenth century. Prague was heavily damaged as floodwaters caused the collapse of many ancient buildings and 200,000 residents were forced to evacuate their homes." - James Howard Kunstler, The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century (Get the book.) "The April 1986 meltdown of Chernobyl in the ukraine was much worse than Three Mile Island had been. The Chernobyl horror story virtually killed any prospects for ramping up the American nuclear industry, since the NIMBY ("not in my backyard") reaction now would be insurmountable. The United States was in a quandary. Both natural gas and oil were in depletion domestically. All the major hydroelectric sites were already in use. Coal was dirty. Nuclear fuel was politically untouchable." - James Howard Kunstler, The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century (Get the book.) "While exports from the United States, Canada, Argentina, Australia, and the EU, the five largest exporters, were down nearly 25 percent from the previous year, the 2002 harvest in Russia, ukraine, and Kazakhstan was the largest since the breakup of the USSR. The following year European production got hammered by extreme heat and drought, while U.S. production recovered. The overall trend in world cereal grain production has turned down in recent years. The so-called Green Revolution of the late twentieth century increased world grain production by 250 percent." - James Howard Kunstler, The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century (Get the book.)

"In the ukraine cornelian cherries are a frequent ingredient in bottled soft drinks, conserves, wines, and liqueurs.

"Much of northeastern Europe was once known as the Pale of Settlement, a region stretching from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania through White Russia to ukraine. It was a fringe area to which Europeans tried for many centuries to confine the influx of Jews. It was in the middle of nowhere, and today, if we say something is "beyond the pale," it is geographically or socially "far out." At some time in the distant past, an inhabitant of the Pale must have been born with an accidental mutation in the CCR5 gene—the AIDS resistance gene." - Jaap Goudsmit M.D., Viral Fitness: The Next SARS and West Nile in the Making (Get the book.)
