Study: Prayer Improves Self-Control
Previous studies have found that when people try hard to control their thoughts and emotions, the buildup of emotion can result in aggressive outbursts or in binge eating or drinking, the Daily Mail reported.

Iran to reassert authority at OPEC after nuclear deal

Radioactive Japanese wave nears U.S.
In the wake of the deadly tsunami that hit Japan in 2011 and severely damaged a nuclear reactor, Japanese officials say the levels of radiation are safe for everyone outside the reactor area itself. But as radioactive water from the plant nears the West Coast of North America — the water is expected to hit in 2014 — can we be sure it’s safe?

EPA Engaging in Backdoor Gun Control
as a former combat commander, I have been trained to look for trends. And I believe we’ve found a very disturbing one. It seems that backdoor gun control is in full effect in the United States. Why?

Free enterprise must fight for its life in the new Cold War
The new cold war is underway and pits free enterprise against state capitalism. Countries like Canada, the U.S. or Germany have fostered their multinationals and they have acted as de facto instruments to grow their economies through trade success. But countries like Russia, South Korea, China, Singapore and others operate like gigantic holding companies armed with “soft economic weapons” that include oligarchs, national champions, state-owned enterprises, protectionism, diplomatic initiatives and sovereign wealth funds.
