Do people from Asia mature slower mentally than Europeans? eg. Indonesian 15y and German 15y have different maturity level |

Do you know anything about hardwoods, furniture, or logging in Southeast Asia? Mature, accurate answers please! These are the questions I would like answered please!
1. What corporations are involved in tropical hardwood logging or furniture production?
2. Who are the consumers of these tropical hardwoods?
3. What types of logging methods are used?
4. What kinds of reforestation are practiced on the land that has been logged?
5. Could tropical hardwood logging be sustainable? |
The destruction of the Southeast Asian rainforests has received little publicity. These tropical forests have been seriously and, in some cases, permanently damaged by illegal logging companies. There are few signs that the destructive harvesting of the forests in this region will slow in the near future.
Here are a few of these companies:
The largest industrial illegal (presumed) logger in South-East Asia is Rimbunan Hijau (RH) chaired by billionare Tiong Hiew King. RH, is accused of acquiring land illegally and of using brute force and bribery in its dealing with locals.
Asian Pulp and Paper (APP), founded in Indonesia in 1984, has drawn criticism for its logging activities.
Korindo is a company proven to be using illegal timber from the last rainforests of Indonesia.
The main consumers are: Largest, "Japan" (which imports 75% of all Asian hardwoods. Second, China, Third, the E.U.
Logging methods used in the hardwoods process are:
(i)Live sawing or through-and-through;
(ii) Sawing with a breaking cut;
(iii) Cutting of quarter sawn or radial sawn or rift sawn.
(iv) Cutting of flat-sawn or back sawn or plain sawn or tangential sawn
Two practiced reforestation systems are sustainable alternatives, including "agro-forestry" and "mono-culture" plantation.
Yes, tropical hardwood logging can be sustainable but only if supervised and over seen by Government authorities with severe and harsh penalties for the illegal cutting by corporation and companies. Also, making it illegal by country's such as China, Japan, The United States, The European Union and Russia for the importation of these exotic hardwoods.
I hope this has helped you somewhat.

Is it that white and black people grew mature looking faster than Asian people or....? Asian people's looks just looks older slower than white and black people?
A 15 year old in America kinda looks like an 18 year old here in Asia.
Im not talking about their height and stuff, its their face.
Agree? |
| Yeah i guess we do grow mature looking faster now that you mention it |

Researches and statistics show the best ages to do these things (the average best age when these things started or have been done). The best ages (from Europe and Asia) are pointed after each one. Responsible mature guyren (and young adults) have done these around the pointed ages. What are your guyren/ your ages? |
1. All my guys were fuly trained no later than 14 months of age
2. All my guys learned to wash their hair without help no later than age 4, the youngest learned when they were 3yo
3. At age 4 they all could have a bath without supervision, the youngest could do it before their 4th birthday
4. At age 6 they could cut bread although not everyone was allowed before age 7
5. They all had a cellphone as soon as they could read what's written on it
6. Each of them could stay alone for 2-3 hours at 6
7. At 8-9
8. At 11
9. At 12
10. Whenever they find someone they love. Usually around 14
11. I agree if they are at least 13
12. 12-13 for the make-up
13. They all use cmputer without my supervision, even the 7-8yo guys
14. They can play outside unsupervised if the oldest is at least 10
15. They go and come back from school alone at age 9

17. They all watch whatever movie they like, even the 8yo guys. Usually my 17yo and my 15yo guyren watch if the movie is suitable for the younger siblings but if not, it's not a big deal.
18. I help them if only they ask me to |
Do you think Afridi has found his best batting form after being made skipper of the side? Afridi has hit two big centuries in the ongoing Asia Cup against Srilanka and Bangladesh.He certainly seems to be timing the ball well and played mature innings.
Do you think he has found his best batting form after having difficult times over the years with batting? |
Yes,looks like he is matured with the bat so much after getting the captaincy
He scored 124 off just 60 Balls,74 runs came off just 18 balls.You can't accept anything better from a new captain than that.Well played Sir. |
Trip to China??? Asia? My family is considering taking a trip to China or somewhere else in Asia in a couple of years. We are a family of five with one guy in college, one in high school, and one in junior high. We are intermediate to advanced travelers but have never been to Asia (mostly took trips to Europe). Does anyone know any good and practical travel destinations here? The guys are very mature and it was actually the junior high guy that suggested it. Some of the family says although intruiging, a trip to China is "scary" and "intimidating" please help! |
Just one very important tip... wake up very very early in the morning to start your visits. Chinese people start the day very early and this is what you should also do.
If you can visit any place or park early in the morning you will be amazed with the life and joy of the people there. For example if you wanna visit the Heaven Temple in Beijing and the surrounding park or any other in town, don't doubt, go there as soon as they open at six or seven o'clock in the morning...
You will meet many old people doing tai chi, playing chess or mah jong, doing calligraphy in the floor with big brushes, people singing and dancing, bird singing competition, story tellers, tea houses... a whole world of China's hearth. We're never tired to look and learn the spirit of living from these old people.
Every time you are traveling in China start your day very early and mix with locals. If you start your day late of course you will only meet mainly tourists tours but believe us that any place in China including both Beijing or Shanghai is thriving with real life... just look for it.
If you can, travel by Chinese trains at night... it's a quite comfortable, economic, funny and memorable experience. Soft sleepers are quite comfortable four beds compartments, and the experience of traveling by train in China is unforgettable, plus you can save one night hotel sleeping in the train.
Another good destination in Asia would be Bali island in Indonesia. It can be combined with any other city in Asia (Hong Kong, Bangkok, etc) or you can easily spend your whole holiday in Bali. Plenty of western tourist choose these destination for its beaches, landscapes and cultural activities. If one day you wanna visit Bali on your trip to Asia, have a look at our web site for more information www.maxgramper.webs.com we have different houses to suit every need.
About being "scary"... we can categorically state that most Asian countries are far safer than any western country. Just following your common sense when meeting new friends is advised, but the chances of being robbed or mugged in the street are very low. You'll see that most Asian people are very kind and the lack of communication by language is offset by the friendliness of the people you'll meet.
We have been many times in China and never tired, and of course we love our beautiful Bali. Remember... whenever in Asia, wake up early!
We hope you have a wonderful trip to China, Bali or any other Asian country. |
Is it right to be hurt by this? Boyfriendgoign away to asia for three months? My boyfriend is going travelling to Asia without me and i am upset about this. We are both mature adults i am 31 and he is 29. When we got together i knew that he wanted to travel and he said that he would like me to go with him. He already had some money saved I do too but really not enough. I wouldnt be able to go with him either until the end of next year because of work and study commitments, all of which he knew about. At first we talked about going to europe as a start off and i thought we would do that but now he has just gone and booked to go away for three months. I have never been abroad and would love to go with him, the trouble is that i cannot afford it at the moment. He knows this and went and booked a three month trip anyway. He tells me that he struggled with this decision, we have spoken about this and I have said that i would never stand in his way of doing this because i know that he loves to travel but i am hurt that we could not plan something together to share. We have been together two years and have not been away. I know in my heart that i am being selfish but cannot help but feel hurt that he has done this without firstly properly discussing it with me and secondly not giving us the option of planning something together. I have conflicting thoughts about it because on one hand i should be supporting him accomplish a dream whilst on the second hand i cannot get over feeling hurt that we cannot share this. I don't know really what to do as i think long term this has damaged us. I know for a fact he would have been devastated if i had gone travelling without him but i also think he knows i would have waited for him. He has tried using the excuse that we are not married which i found at odds with the fact that he does not even believe in marriage! - can anyone help? |
| wow he is gonna cheat on you! oh yeah |

| firstly it is a lil inconsiderate of him to not consider your feelings or your side of it.BUT at the same time if you have known each other for awhile and the trust is there this shouldnt be a problem as long as u to call stay in touch he could actually explain the visit to you on the phone so much and so indept that it would feel like ur there with him even tho u cant actually go. It sucks that u cant go but u do have commitments would u like to leave those commitments and just run off with him? even if u could at the end when u both come back wat would u be coming back to?? no job alot of stress and a feeling of having to start over an that would take a serious toll on ur relationship.so this is what u should do either u talk 2 him an explain an hope that he would stop consider ur side and stay.or trust him let him go cuse 3 mths isnt that long if u truly trust him... |

I would be hurt as well.
It must be hard because you know on 1 hand you have to support him because you shouldn't get in the way of his dreams, but on the other hand, it hurts that he can make such a decision even if he knows it hurts you.
He probably feels he's not getting any younger, so he needs to do these things before it's too late. At least 3 months isn't too long.
If I were you, I would ask him to reconsider and wait until you can go together. If he doesn't want to, start preparing yourself now, and you will just have to bite the bullet and be supportive. If your relationship is strong enough to survive this, then you know you guys are meant to be, if not, at least you will be able to move on and maybe figure out what you really want in your life.
Good Luck. Hope it works out |
Is the white race a more mature Group of people? Before I say anything I am not trying to offend anyone. im not racist i just have a serious question (excuse me if its ignorant im only 16). Ok so if you believe evolution then a long time ago we were closer to monkeys. And scientists have found that the earliest Evidence of humans comes from asia (although that was so long ago that they probably didn't look asian... but were black) So as the human race evolved through millions of years some of us lost that among other things because we no longer needed it. So out skin got lighter as we moved to colder climates (which would be something we could not do at first because we first needed to learn how to make fire and use fur... so also evidence we came from warmer places). so what im asking is... are white people the product of coming from more mature early humans? Thanks! |
| Racism of any kind is bad _ I think, you will agree with me. However, the truth is :- ' There is immense power in every human to improve himself - be it black or white'. Prosperity comes through continuous practice of the knowledge with confidence. |
