Friendship can be a Life-Saver to a Student with Food Allergies

With food allergies on the rise, and 15 million Americans allergic to one or more foods, chances are good that someone you work with, go to school with or are friends with will have a food allergy. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, food allergies are a growing food safety and public health concern that affects between 4 and 6 percent of young people in the U. S. Allergic reactions can be life threatening and have far-reaching effects on the individual and their families, as well as the school, college or university they attend.

Freeport-McMoRan’s Economic Impacts to Indonesia and Enterprise Development

PT Freeport Indonesia, a Freeport-McMoRan company, commissions the University of Indonesia’s Institute of Economics and Social Research to conduct economic impact assessment of PT Freeport Indonesia’s operations. The most recent study, conducted in 2012, measured PT Freeport Indonesia’s economic impact on a local, regional, and national level from 2006 to 2011. The study revealed that PT Freeport Indonesia contributed to up to 94.7 percent of the gross domestic product of the Mimika Regency, 45.4 percent of Papua Province, and 0.8 percent of Indonesia. The prior study, conducted in 2009, concluded that the multiplier effect of PTFI’s workforce created 227,000 direct and indirect work opportunities, including 128,000 direct and indirect work opportunities in Papua alone.
