Search Results - Famine

Type in a word or phrase to search:

A famine is a widespread shortage of food that may apply to any faunal species, which phenomenon is usually accompanied by regional malnutrition, starvation, epidemic, and increased mortality.

Although most famines coincide with regional shortages of food, famine in some human populations has occurred amid plenty or on account of acts of economic or military policy that have deprived certain populations of sufficient food to ensure survival. Historically, famines have occurred because of drought, crop failure, pestilence, and man-made causes such as war or misguided economic policies. Bad harvests, overpopulation, and epidemic diseases like the Black Death helped cause hundreds of famines in Europe during the Middle Ages, including 95 in the British Isles and 75 in France.[1][2]

During the 20th century, an estimated 70 million people died from famines across the world, of whom an estimated 30 million died during the famine of 1958–61 in China. The other most notable famines of the century included the 1942–1945 disaster in Bengal, famines in China in 1928 and 1942, and a sequence of famines in the Soviet Union, including the Holodomor, Stalin's famine inflicted on Ukraine in 1932–33. A few of the great famines of the late 20th century were the Biafran famine in the 1960s, the disaster in Cambodia in the 1970s, the Ethiopian famine of 1983–85 and the North Korean famine of the 1990s.

Famine is typically induced by a human population exceeding the regional carrying capacity to provide food resources. An alternate view of famine is a failure of the poor to command sufficient resources to acquire essential food (the "entitlement theory" of Amartya Sen), analyses of famine that focused on the political-economic processes, an understanding of the reasons for mortality in famines, an appreciation of the extent to which famine-vulnerable communities have strategies for coping with the threat of famine, and the role of warfare and terrorism in creating famine. Modern relief agencies categorize various gradations of famine according to a famine scale.

7. Coaches and Consultants For Joint Ventures
July 24, 2008

Many Coaches and Consultants experience the "feast or famine, chicken or feathers" ups and downs in income - they're either out there selling, or they're delivering. This results in a yo-yo income. They have to deal with busy times and quiet times and increasing competition, and, because they're selling time, they have limited income earning capacity. Many clients regard the consulting or coaching service as a luxury that can be terminated as soon as cash flows get tight. In addition, the popular perception of coaches and consultants leaves a lot to be desired, which is quite understandable, g... (read more)

June 08, 2008

It's the bad food choices (bad nutrition), and lack of activity that has caused your belly size waist. And it is up to you to make the changes and improve your choice of foods.

12. Your Body Wants to be Fat
May 20, 2008

Call it what you will. Yo-Yo Dieting, Battle of the Bulge, The Holiday Pounds...it's that annoying tendency of our bodies to re-gain so easily weight that we tried to hard to lose. So why does this occur? Basically, there are several mechanisms that your body relies on to keep your weight-o-meter at one constant level. While these survival mechanisms may have helped our ancestors rely on stored fat in times of cold, famine and trekking, it really doesn't help us out at all in our technology-assisted lifestyles, where food is prevalent and moving about is not very necessary. These fat pres... (read more)

Too many people ride the 'feast or famine' roller coaster of having clients, especially SUCCESSFUL entrepreneurs. Some months they have almost too many clients and are WAY too busy, and other months, they're feeling the pinch. The well is dry and they're digging their well when they're thirsty. I've been there in the past, and there's nothing worse than experiencing those two extremes on a regular basis. It'll make you want to go back to Corporate for good! (NOT ME!)

14. Want to Lose Weight? Stop Dieting
May 05, 2008

I could have titled this one "Want to keep on losing weight? Stop dieting". The human body is wise. Back when we were hunters and gatherers, survival depended on food supply. Lack of food lead to death. So the body adapted: when food supply is low, the body's functions slow down, which reduces the need for energy (and food). That's how it managed to stay alive during periods of famine. Even when food was available, it never was three meals a day. Our ancestors would hunt, share their loot, feast for a day or two, and seek food again. Today, food is abundant. Survival is not an issue.... (read more)

15. Facts and speculations about weight gain
April 30, 2008

There is one simple explanation for those extra pounds of weight. Too much food! The way the body works is very simple. If you get just enough calories for basic things like breathing, you have to burn fat to get the energy to walk around. Eat more calories than you need given your basal activity level, and your body puts on fat. Your body is actually protecting you against the next famine when you will have nothing to eat and need your fat to survive until the next sandwich comes along. Now turn to many of the forum sites where people discuss their experience with zoloft. The general spi... (read more)

16. Is Bangladesh heading towards anti-US block?
April 25, 2008

Military backed interim government in Bangladesh seems to be finally moving towards anti-American block. At least it is evidently proved in some of the recent actions of this government’s ‘important’ players. Foreign Ministry in Bangladesh, especially the Foreign Advisor expressed angry reaction at the recent remarks of the newly appointed US ambassador to Bangladesh James F Moriarty. Mr. Moriarty, while talking to press said the state of emergency should be lifted as it will be 'extremely difficult' to hold an election under emergency rules.

17. Arranging a Mortgage In The Mortgage Famine
April 22, 2008

Six months ago we had 15000 mortgage deals to choose from, and now we are down to 5000 having lost another 500 in the last week alone. The pressure on lenders particularly the smaller ones with good deals still on offer, is more than most of them can cope with as they receive an avalanche of mortgage applications until they have to close the door to new applications. Some of the smaller lenders who tend to serve the local community have tried to restrict their current business to a geographical area in order to preserve funds, and to lend at the standard variable rate only. As w... (read more)

Yes, food crisis in Bangladesh is acute till date and at least 50 million people are in regular starvation while the chief of army General Moeen U Ahmed is continuing to suggest people of switching their ‘food habit’ from rice to potato.

19. what is Kwashiorkor and what are it's main causes
April 16, 2008

What is Kwashiorkor? Kwashiorkor: Kwashiorkor is the medical name for malnutrition. When the child is weaned, if the diet that replaces the milk is high in starches and carbohydrates, and deficient in protein (as is common in parts of the world where the bulk of the diet consists of starchy vegetables, or where famine has struck), the child may develop kwashiorkor. The name is derived from one of the languages of coastal Ghana , translated literally "first-second", and means "rejected one" reflecting the development of the condition in the older child who has been weaned from the b...

20. Dhaka under unique martial law
April 09, 2008

People may try to argue with the fact that the small nation in South Asia is under a civilian government, which enjoys support from the army. They may even argue that both the President and the Chief Advisor (chief executive) of the country are non-military figures. And it is a fact too. In that case, how someone could define Bangladesh being ruled under an unique form of martial law? Let us take some glimpse over some of the facts. According to local and international news media, the tenure of General Moeen U Ahmed as chief of army staff has been extended by one year from June 15, 2008 t... (read more)

21. Al Qaeda-Famine grabbing Bangladesh
April 09, 2008

Latest news in Dhaka's press mostly is filled with sufferings of people due to recent famine, which broke silently in the country of 150 million people. A vernacular daily named Naya Diganta (New Horizon), published a photograph of a dead body of an unknown man in Dhaka. Seeing this photograph, someone may assume, it was taken from Somalia. But, no, it is from Dhaka. It is quite understandable that, when people in the capital are dying due to lack of food, there should be numerous deaths in the rural parts of the country. But, despite such serious situation, authorities in Dhaka are yet to acc... (read more)

24. Weight Loss - The Truth about Herbal Weight Loss
March 16, 2008

Fasting demands the fat cells be used as fuel. As soon as the body needs calories the process or catabolism (tearing down) starts. Each pound of fat has approximately 3,500 calories, which becomes fuel for the body. As each day passes, you get thinner and thinner. Excess fat is nothing more than extra calories stored in the fat cells. The purpose of fat cells is to be fuel for times of famine. For North America, famine does not exist; instead, the North American diet is a continual indulgence of high-calorie foods, eaten in an attempt to fulfill emotional needs. The fat cells get bigger a... (read more)

25. Screening The Market For Legitimate Hoodia Gordonii Supplements
February 26, 2008

Hoodia is a cactus-like plant that is endemic to the Kalahari Desert region, and was also previously abundant in rocky and sandy regions of Botswana, Namibia, Angola and other areas of South Africa. The plant looks like a cactus even though botanically it is not a cactus, but is often marketed as one. Historically, the plant helped local residents during periods of famine, where people suddenly found themselves wandering in the desert without much food or water. The natives in this region took two to three slices of the plant daily, and were able to stave off starvation. Hoodia Actu... (read more)
