TRUE COLOURS
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged til I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world, full of people
You can lose sight of it
And the darkness, inside you makes you feel small
But I'll see your true colours, shining through you
I see your true colours, and that's why I love you
So don't be afraid, to let them show
Your true colours, true colours
Are beautiful, ooh like a rainbow
Show me a smile
Don't be unhappy can't remember when
I last saw you laughing
When this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up, cos you know I'll be there

For Our Mothers and Others — 5 Simple Ways to Reduce Your Exposure to Environmental Estrogens
Spring: birds singing and nesting1 , hyacinths and lilac perfuming the air, delicate daffodils and vibrant tulips decorating homes and gardens — a yearly reminder of nature’s beauty, fertility, and that she is our source of life and sustenance. No wonder we’ve personified nature as a mother. We celebrate Mother Earth each spring with her own day, Earth Day. Spring is also the time of year when we stop to celebrate our marvelous mothers, the life-giving and nurturing2 forces in our lives. In honor of both Earth Day and Mother’s Day, here are some ideas to share with your mother, and others, on how we can treat Mother Earth with love and respect — AND potentially reduce the risk of breast cancer for all the women in our lives.
A potential risk factor for breast cancer is exposure to environmental estrogens. Environmental estrogens are any of a group of synthetic substances found in the environment that, when absorbed into a person’s system, function in a similar way to estrogen. Estrogen stimulates breast cell growth3 , and exposure to estrogen over long periods of time, without any breaks, can increase the risk of breast cancer. Whether environmental estrogens can fuel the growth of breast cancer is still being studied. But if there was a 10% chance that your plane had a significant mechanical problem, would you get on the flight?
The following are five simple ways (there are others) to avoid exposure to environmental estrogens:
• Avoid pesticides containing DDT and dieldrin (look at the labels), and advocate4 for your schools and community to do the same.
• Avoid cooking with nonstick cookware: the perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) used to make products grease- and waterproof is an environmental estrogen. When the cookware is heated, PFOA can seep into your food.
• Avoid using plastic food containers, which may contain bisphenol A. Never heat plastic containers or use plastic wraps in the microwave — heating plastic causes the leaching5 of the environmental estrogens into your food.
• Avoid cosmetics or personal care products containing phthalates. Because phthalates are mainly used for fragrances, and often not required to be listed on product ingredients, using fragrance-free personal products would limit exposure.
Recycle old electronics, including cell phones, hard drives, TVs and computer monitors, and batteries. The breakdown of the cadmium, nickel, and lead in these products form environmental estrogens that can seep into our soil and water supply.
How important is paying attention to environmental factors?A major study commissioned by Congress released in February 2013 concluded that “Primary prevention of new breast cancer cases requires identifying and reducing exposures that increase the risk of the disease, and fostering6 behaviors that may help to prevent it.
The surest steps to reducing our risk of breast cancer are well established: maintain a healthy weight, exercise, eat nutritious food, avoid alcohol, and don’t smoke.

This Year at Davos: A Referendum on Davos Itself
Many values espoused by the World Economic Forum — globalization, liberalism, free market capitalism, representative democracy — are under attack.

By David Gelles - May 21, 2022
The small ski town of Davos, high in the Swiss alps, has heightened security measure in place during the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, when armed guards perch on hotel rooftops while world leaders and business executives sip champagne below. Yet today, everything that Davos stands for — globalization, liberalism, freemarket capitalism, representative democracy — seems to be under assault.
For the past half century, Klaus Schwab, the patrician founder of the World Economic Forum, has extolled the virtues of an interconnected world, one where the free flow of goods, services, people and ideas would lead to shared prosperity and peace. It was an idealistic vision that endured in spite of global unrest, and it found adherents in the corridors of power from Palo Alto, Calif., to Washington, D.C., and from Brussels to Singapore and beyond.
The past two years, however, have fundamentally challenged the viability of that aspirational worldview. The coronavirus pandemic prompted a wave of isolationist foreign policy moves, revealed the fragility of supply chains and left China largely walled off from the rest of the world.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has brought land war to Europe and stoked fears of broader global conflict. And even before the pandemic and the war, autocratic rulers were on the rise around the globe and internal divisions were straining superpowers like the United States.
Now, as Mr. Schwab prepares to preside over the first meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos since the pandemic began, he confronts a world that looks very unlike the one he has been trying to conjure into being for more than 50 years. As heads of state finalize travel arrangements and wealthy corporations set up shop on the promenade, Mr. Schwab himself seems to understand that the global order as he once envisioned it is, for now at least, little more than a fantasy.
“We are living in a different world,” he said in an interview. “Even when we came together in 2020, we had a lot of serious concerns. Now we had two additional events which have actually accelerated the seriousness of our situation.”
But while the world may have changed, Davos has not. The annual meeting will feature, as usual, politicians, civil servants, executives and nonprofit leaders —the kind of privileged, globe-trotting idealists that gave rise to the term “DavosMan.” Timely issues like the war and Covid will be discussed, alongside perennial threats such as climate change and cybersecurity. And the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, will give a virtual address to other heads of state.
The one thing that will be different is the outside temperature. The annual meeting is usually held in January. But after a surge in Covid cases forced alast-minute cancellation, the World Economic Forum rescheduled it for late May. That means there will be no snow on the ground, but the threat of a dull, persistent rain is real. “My biggest worry is actually the weather,” Mr. Schwab said. ....
