	Human Cycle; Sri Aurobindo
		Human society itself never seized on the discovery of the soul as a means for the discovery of the law of its own being or on a knowledge of the soul's true nature and need and its fulfilment as the right way of terrestrial perfection.
		A religion of humanity may be either an intellectual and sentimental ideal, a living dogma with intellectual, psychological and practical effects, or else a spiritual aspiration and rule of living, and partly the sign, partly the cause of a change of soul in humanity.
		The aim of the religion of humanity was formulated in the eighteenth century by a sort of primal intuition; that aim was and it is still to recreate human society in the image of three kindred ideas, liberty, equality and fraternity.

	Fourth World Conference on Women, Beijing 1995
		Human rights and fundamental freedoms are the birthright of all human beings; their protection and promotion is the first responsibility of Governments.
		Recognition of the importance of the human rights of women is reflected in the fact that three quarters of the States Members of the United Nations have become parties to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.
		Unless the human rights of women, as defined by international human rights instruments, are fully recognized and effectively protected, applied, implemented and enforced in national law as well as in national practice in family, civil, penal, labour and commercial codes and administrative rules and regulations, they will exist in name only.

	Genome Glossary
		The diploid human genome consists of a total of 46 chromosomes: 22 pairs of autosomes, and 1 pair of sex chromosomes (the X and Y chromosomes).
		For example, in humans, males are hemizygous for genes found on the Y chromosome.
		For the human genome, the lowest-resolution physical map is the banding patterns on the 24 different chromosomes; the highest-resolution map is the complete nucleotide sequence of the chromosomes.

	Book Review -- Human Action: A Treatise on Economics
		Human Action is, in short, at once the most uncompromising and the most rigorously reasoned statement of the case for capitalism that has yet appeared.
		In Human Action, Mises refined that argument, showing that market-based economic calculation through the price system was the institution whose development had enabled the emergence of a complex network of division of labor, without which modern civilization could never have arisen.
		In Human Action, he restated this insight in the wider context of his refined exposition of the "Austrian" theory of capital and interest.

	The Human Cycle
		Human society was for them an attempt to express in life the cosmic Purusha who has expressed himself otherwise in the material and the supraphysical universe.
		The conventional stage of human society is born when the external supports, the outward expressions of the spirit or the ideal become more important than the ideal, the body or even the clothes more important than the person.
		Human thought seizing in its usual arbitrary and trenchant fashion upon this aspect of modern knowledge has founded on it theories of a novel kind which erect into a gospel the right for each to live his own life not merely by utilising others, but even at the expense of others.

		Human rights are indivisible which means that you cannot be denied a right because it is "less important" than another right.
		Learning about human rights and learning how to respect others and defend their human rights is fundamental to creating a culture that supports the human rights of all.

		The World Conference on Human Rights recommends that matters relating to human rights and the situation of children be regularly reviewed and monitored by all relevant organs and mechanisms of the United Nations system and by the supervisory bodies of the specialized agencies in accordance with their mandates.
		The World Conference on Human Rights emphasizes that one of the most atrocious violations against human dignity is the act of torture, the result of which destroys the dignity and impairs the capability of victims to continue their lives and their activities.
		Human rights education should include peace, democracy, development and social justice, as set forth in international and regional human rights instruments, in order to achieve common understanding and awareness with a view to strengthening universal commitment to human rights.

	Four Teleological Orders of Human Action
		The volition, or the “decision” to undertake an action, may be the outcome of a deliberation about which of several actions to undertake, or it may be a spontaneous decision to engage in a certain action, without being preceded by a deliberative process.
		The actions that are willed in the prior volition are accompanied by a “feeling of striving.” The voluntary actions and feelings of striving can be differentiated into three types, corresponding to the three types of ends: physical, mental and interpersonal.
		This classification of ends, actions and feelings of striving is not, and cannot be, a rigid one, as many of the concrete instances of these phenomena are mixtures of physical, mental or interpersonal aspects.

	[SafeClimate] understanding climate change \| the carbon cycle
		The carbon cycle is a complex series of processes through which all of the carbon atoms on earth rotate.
		Although natural transfers of carbon dioxide are approximately 20 times greater than those due to human activity, they are in near balance, with the magnitude of carbon sources closely matching those of the sinks.
		The additional carbon resulting from human activity is the cause of the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration over the last 150 years.

	Laissez Faire Books
		Human Action was first published in 1949 (a German-language edition, Nationaloekonomie, was published in 1940, then completely rewritten in English), no paperback edition has ever been permitted by its publishers.
		By the end of Human Action, we have the broadest possible vision of economics before us, an unparalleled defense of capitalism and the unhampered market, and a sizzling critique of the principles underlying the interventionist welfare state.
		Human Action is work that has, for almost half a century, retained its freshness and its relevance, showing how deep economic understanding is to be attained, not by virtuosity of mathematical technique, but by subtlety and penetration of economic insight and interpretation.

		RHA leadership is action on behalf of the well-being of the earth and its inhabitants (Andrews, Mitstifer, Rehm, and Vaughn, 1995).
		Succinctly, any human activity is inherently shaped by a larger purpose, is done because it has meaning for the person, happens in a historical context, is affected by the level of available resources, plans and strategies, and involves a commitment of power and spirit to see it through to completion.
		A healthy, individual human spirit contributes to one's professional goal to practice using reflective human action; that is, to engage in spirituality of leadership which leads to the betterment of the overall human condition in the world.

	Hacker's Action Theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Action theory is a theory initially developed by German scientists in the field of applied psychology (Winfried Hacker, 1994[5]; Freese and Zapf, 1994[7]; Frese and Sabini 1985 [8]).
		Today it is applied in various fields of industry and science involving human action, like human capital in business [9], human computer interaction [1,4,10,13], and artificial intelligence [3].
		These actions are smooth, highly integrated actions, which are done in a nearly unconscious fashion by the users.

	Human Rights First \| Refugees - Strengthening Refugee Protection against Xenophobia and Discrimination
		However, that protection - a fundamental human right - is too often bargained away in the political calculations about controlling entry to, and movement within, borders.
		Once refugees do arrive, notions such as ‘safe third country’, ‘safe country of origin’, and fast track procedures such as expedited removal, are often implemented in a way which again cuts down the protection available to a refugee in an arbitrary manner.
		By providing adequate refuge or opportunity for resettlement, host States can discourage a cycle of persecution, often based on race and ethnicity, which would be perpetuated by involuntary return.

		HUMAN ACTION is a difficult work to read, particularly for those with minimal training in economics.
		The fact that humans act -- that is, human beings act purposively to reach subjectively chosen ends -- is, of course, irrefutable (to argue against the axiom of action is itself an action).

		They are convinced that such a moral reform would in itself be sufficient to safeguard a mode of operation of the economic system, more satisfactory from their point of view than that of unhampered capitalism, without any of those special governmental measures which interventionism and socialism require.
		If it is no longer profit-seeking that directs the entrepreneurs' actions and determines what they produce and in what quantities, if the entrepreneurs are no longer bound by the instrumentality of the profit motive to serve the consumers to the best of their abilities, it is necessary to give them definite instructions.
		As has been pointed out, every action aims at the attainment of a state of affairs that suits the actor better than the state that would prevail in the absence of this action.

	Healthy Building Network: Life Cycle Analysis
		Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is a term used broadly to apply to any of a number of analytic techniques to evaluate the environmental impact of a material or a service throughout its life cycle from extraction or harvesting of raw materials through processing, manufacture, installation, use and ultimate disposal or recycling.
		The Healthy Building Network's analysis of the environmental impact of materials is strongly rooted in a life cycle thinking approach, emphasizing the importance of looking at impacts throughout the life cycle.
		For example, there are inherent structural constraints on the ability of LCA to address a range of toxic chemicals and their related human health issues, like cancer.
