ESSAYS

Drones and the Question of “The Human”

Roger Berkowitz

In our headlong embrace of drone technology, we are forgetting to ask two basic questions: What is a drone? And what does it mean that the once obvious boundary separating human and machine intelligence is being diminished?

Why Human Rights Are Called Human Rights

Alan Sussman

No one can engage in commerce when deprived of liberty or autonomy. No one can create or imagine or love when consumed by fear. We need human rights to permit ourselves the possibility of being human.

ROUNDTABLE: THE FUTURE OF HUMAN RIGHTS

The Future of the Human Rights Movement

Beth A. Simmons

More than twenty years have passed since the end of the Cold War, and the time when people spoke in triumphal terms of the global success of Western values is now a fading memory. The modern human rights movement is at a critical juncture in its history.

Against a World Court for Human Rights

Philip Alston

A World Court is not just an idea whose time has not yet come. The very idea fundamentally misconceives the nature of the challenges confronting an international community dedicated to eliminating major human rights violations

What Future for Human Rights?

James W. Nickel

The field of human rights covers many different beliefs, norms, institutions, and activities, and these may well have different futures. Some may flourish while others wither—along with the social movements that support them.

State Sovereignty and International Human Rights

Jack Donnelly

An increasingly robust international politics of human rights will provide valuable support to domestic advocates, help to impede backsliding, and in at least a few cases decisively tip the balance in favor of human rights at moments of transition.

The Future of Human Rights: A View from the United Nations

Andrew Gilmour

It is with respect to human rights that the UN has experienced some of its greatest shortcomings. The new “Rights up Front” plan may help remedy that deficiency.

REVIEW ESSAY

From Empire to Sovereignty—and Back?

Jens Bartelson

How do empires and sovereign states relate, conceptually as well as historically? It is no coincidence that many historians of political thought are in the process of rewriting the history of sovereignty in light of its changing status.

In this book, Ypi proposes that theory begin with a specific political conflict, diagnose the failure of existing practices and norms to resolve it, and, in this light, develop better practices and norms.

Fairness in Practice: A Social Contract for a Global Economy by Aaron James

Review by Simon Cotton

This book brings political economy, international relations, and development economics into conversation with moral philosophy, making a critical contribution to the ethics of globalization.

RealReds, a Nutritional Supplement by RealDose Nutrition, May Be the Solution to the “Fruit Dilemma” – OverallHealth.org Presents a New Product Review

Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) June 09, 2014

The Real Reds supplement, by Real Dose Nutrition, is essentially a “guilt free fruit.” The supplement combines the health benefits of eight super-fruits, plus organic vegetables and digestive enzymes, without the overabundance of sugar (fructose) found in fruits.

“Just one small serving has the protective power of four servings of fruit… with just 30 calories and 7 grams of net carbs,” says Dr. Steven Sisskind, Chief Medical Officer for Real Dose Nutrition.

Webmaster Henry Rearden of OverallHealth.org says this about RealReds: “Personally, I just got done reading a book called ‘The Enzyme Factor’ by the preeminent Japanese-American surgeon, Dr. Hiromi Shinya. According to Shinya, among the benefits of fruit are the copious digestive enzymes, which lead to healthy intestines while supporting fat loss, health of the body overall, and longevity. So, I started eating lots of fruit. And then I started gaining lots of weight. I swear, there is a true correlation. It’s biological. It’s physiological. It’s just plain logical, when you think about it. Yes, I had an abundance of enzymes – great! But I was ingesting more sugars than my body could process, and it was being stored as fat.”

Essentially, Rearden is saying that eating lots of fruit is a double-edged sword, providing necessary enzymes but also resulting in unhealthy and unsightly weight gain. He seems to have found a solution in the RealReds supplement, which eliminates this conundrum.

Rearden continues, “Without knowing it, I was caught up in what Dr. Sisskind calls the fruit dilemma. There seems to be no desirable balance between consuming enough fruits for nutritional benefit while fending off fat gain via excess sugars.”

The dilemma, quite simply, seems to find resolution in the RealReds product. It’s the best of both worlds.

The RealReds Web Page has a ton of information on how fruits can make you fat – the science behind it, etc. It also has detailed information on the ingredients.

OverallHealth.org is a free-spirited site where author and chief editor Henry Rearden enjoys profiling and reviewing fresh – sometimes trendy – new products to hit the health market. Anything in the periphery of health and well-being is fair game for Henry to pull off the shelf for a look-see.
