A man and a penguin
Once, a man was walking in a park when he came across a penguin. He took him to a policeman and said, “I have just found this penguin. What should I do?” The policeman replied, “Take him to the zoo”
The next day the policeman saw the same in the same park, and the man was still carrying the penguin with him. The policeman was rather surprised and walked up to the man and asked. “Why are you still carrying that penguin about? Didn’t you take t to the zoo?”
‘I certainly did,’ replied the man.
“And it was a great idea because he really enjoyed it, so today I’m taking him to the movies!”

The government should provide a rehabilitation Program for Drug Users
Drug users are actually ill people who need help. Rehabilitation is one of the main things they should get. Instead of punishing drug users in prisons, the government should provide rehabilitation for them.
Most users are actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer from consuming the drugs. Therefore, by rehabilitating them, we are actually helping them out from traps, which they might accidentally step on.
If we only arrest drug users and send them to jail, this doesn't solve the problem as drug users will still be addicted unless proper rehabilitation is imposed on them. Providing rehabilitation programs for drug users and forcing them to participate in the programs is better than only arresting them and doing nothing to their illness. Only drug dealers, traffickers, and wholesalers should be imprisoned.

Should Americans be forced to Public Transportation?
First, let me define what the question is and isn’t asking. It isn’t asking if we should we all abandon cars right now, nor is it asking if we should abandon them completely, nor is it asking if every American should do so. It is asking whether some Americans should have to take public transit some of the time, and I would say yes.
Oil use and pollution aside, in some cities like Los Angeles and New York there just isn’t room for any more roads, so in order for large cities to grow, they need more people to take public transit or risk permanent traffic jams. One bus can safely hold 40 people so even at half capacity that’s nearly 20 cars’ worth of space in traffic cleared up, and nearly 20 parking spaces that don’t need to build.
There are a lot of people that can take with transit little inconvenience but simply don’t because they never have in the past. If residents in areas with plenty of transit had to buy transit passes as part of their property taxes then they would have little excuse not to bus occasionally. QA number of universities already bundle a ‘U-Pass’ with their tuition feeds, forcing their students to take the bus. When given the chance the majority of those students have voted to keep these programs.
A similar system in apartments where a portion of the tenants are not issued parking spaces in exchange for a discount on their rent would also be a community car to several apartment tenants that arrange a schedule for the car, and this program gets many positive reviews.

Berries
Blueberries, cranberries, huckleberries, and related plants have been found to contain resveratrol, a potential anti-cancer agent, according to Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists who made the discovery. This new finding from ARS adds to previous research by other scientists who found that dark-skinned bunch grapes contain resveratrol.
Using chemical identification procedures, the team of scientists measured the resveratrol content of 30 whole fruit samples of blueberry, cranberry, huckleberry, and related plants. The samples represented five families and 10 species of Vaccinium fruit. They also measured resveratrol in the skin, juice/ pulp, and seed samples of the muscadine grape. Because of its important biological properties, resveratrol has been examined extensively in grapes. Studies showed the compound protects the grapes from fungal diseases. It also provides health benefits for consumers by reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. The compound’s anticancer potential warranted the examination of other fruits.

It also provides health benefits for consumers by reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. The compound’s anticancer potential warranted the examination of other fruits.
The team’s studies showed that several fruit samples of Vaccinium contain varying amounts of the compound. Analysis of the extracts of the skin, juice/pulp, and seed of muscadine grapes showed that the concentration of resveratrol more Vaccinium and muscadine sample is continuing. The new data could help build a foundation for increasing resveratrol in those berry and grapes crops that are important to many small farmers. Future research goals will include enhancing the production of resveratrol in selected species.
