			(1) Choleric: The choleric temperament acts upon character like a stimulant, while the phlegmatic is a sedative. There are two varieties of choleric temperament, the active and the suppressed. The former indicates a nervous, tempestuous and aggressive disposition which, like gun powder, is liable to explode at any moment, while the latter refers to slow ignition, pyrotechnic displays being reserved for opportune occasions. The active choleric announces remarkable achievements in advance, but usually ends by accomplishing little, while the suppressed variety is modest at the outset but ultimately achieves great deeds. One who possesses the active choleric temperament is suggestive of a boiler with the steam-cock wide open which makes much disturbance to little purpose; while the suppressed choleric is like a carefully regulated piece of machinery which, although powerful on occasions, does not waste effort upon useless endeavor.

UNESCO's Director-General highlights key role of education in poverty eradication

October 17, 2003 - Poverty presents a threat to world security that affects each and every one of us, says the Director-General of UNESCO, Koïchiro Matsuura in his message on the occasion of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.

Some three billion women and men live on less than two dollars a day. Eight million children die each year as a result of poverty. But poverty is not inevitable, Mr Matsuura added. More
