How can we avoid supporting child labour?
Q. Most of the things I own were made in third world countries except for the occasional things that were made in USA. How can we avoid supporting child labour when most of the stuff they sell were produced by children being paid very little money?

A. Buy items made only in the USA, Canada, the UK, Europe, or Australia. Avoid buying anything from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Israel, Turkey, any Mideast country, any African country, China, Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, or Indonesia.

How long does it take for acupuncture to induce labour?
Q. I'm 40+3 today and had some acupuncture to help induce labour. The woman said to be prepared for something to happen tonight or early morning. My friend had it done and sure enough she went into labour at 3am. Does anyone else have any positive news for me? Is it likely to happen or just as likely not to work? I had it done around 1pm today and it's now 6.30pm and I've had a few niggles but nothing serious.

A. We have an integrative medicine department at my hospital and they often try to stimulate or augment labor using acupuncture, and personally, I have never once seen it work. Good luck to you though!

Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895

Quotes reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895).

  • No man is born into the world whose work is not born with him. There is always work, and tools to work withal, for those who will.
  • Let parents who hate their offspring rear them to hate labor, and to inherit riches; and before long they will be stung by every vice, racked by its poison, and damned by its penalty.
  • Blessed is the man who has found his work; let him ask no other blessedness. Know thy work, and do it; and work at it like Hercules. One monster there is in the world, the idle man.
