Normally, in what passes for Orthodox economics, a strong currency for a consumer nation is a good thing, a positive development. And America is the biggest consumer, and one of the smallest producers, in human history.
However, in these turbulent times, this economic train wreck that has been on an acceleration course since mid 2007, a strong currency or rather, specifically, a strong dollar is an absolute disaster. Allow me to explain.

Nothing has actually changed in the US economy since the absolute collapse and nationalization of the US banking firms, and along with it the British banking houses, of 2008. Indeed, in America, the exact same games that brought down the private banks are still being played by the now government owned (or is it that they own the government...that is for another thesis) entities and this is called now called recovery. Case in point: several major banks are paying back their TARP funds and the US press is screaming to the high heavens about the wisdom of the Marxists running America. True, many of the fools that are still the majority, though shrinking, of the electorate, buy into this, but let us look closer. The TARP fund is being paid back in one of two ways: 1. unspent TARP monies are being given back to the government (note I do not say owners, since the tax serfs will never ever see this cash again) and this is called recovery or 2. The banks are selling new stock through new IPOs to pay back the debt, which in turn dilutes the value of the old stock which is held by the government, thus giving with one hand and mugging with the other, again, this is called recovery. None of the other US economic indicators have improved, especially when DC's fluff and out right lies are removed.

Not everyone is capable of fighting excessive weight through diet and intense exercises. Many choose radical surgical methods. Michael Ginzburg, M.D., an endocrinologist, told MedPulse.ru about different types of weight-loss surgeries and their pros and cons.


1. Liposuction

"Sometimes my patients ask me: “Doctor, could we just cut the fat out?” Well, sometimes plastic surgeons perform procedures called liposuction. It involves the use of a small stainless steel tube, called a cannula. Fat removal is accomplished as the suction cannula creates tiny tunnels through the fatty layers. After the surgery, the affected area has only a thin layer of fat left. The incisions are closed with stitches and covered with medical Band-Aids.”

Most frequently liposuction is performed on the abdomen, sides, back, inner and outer thighs and buttocks.

It seems very effective, but it is not that simple.

Wolfgang Wodarg, Head of Health at the Council of Europe, considers that the A H1N1 scare was a “campaign of panic”, a “false pandemic”, “one of the great medicine scandals of the century” and claims that the vaccines, based on cancerous cells, spell the chilling message “there is worse to come”.
For Wolfgang Wodarg, the pandemic of A H1N1, which started as Mexican Flu, then Swine Flu, was no more and no less than a campaign to create a false notion of insecurity for the pharmaceutical companies to cash in. “The great campaign of panic we have seen provided a golden opportunity for representatives from labs who knew they would hit the jackpot in the case of a pandemic being declared,” he declared.

Women may think of men as primitive, but new research indicates that the Y chromosome — the thing that makes a man male — is evolving far faster than the rest of the human genetic code.

A new study comparing the Y chromosomes from humans and chimpanzees, our nearest living relatives, show that they are about 30 percent different. That is far greater than the 2 percent difference between the rest of the human genetic code and that of the chimp's, according to a study appearing online Wednesday in the journal Nature.

These changes occurred in the last 6 million years or so, relatively recently when it comes to evolution.

"The Y chromosome appears to be the most rapidly evolving of the human chromosomes," said study co-author Dr. David Page, director of the prestigious Whitehead Institute in Cambridge and a professor of biology at MIT. "It's an almost ongoing churning of gene reconstruction. It's like a house that's constantly being rebuilt."

Ross Cameron, a former deputy of the Australian Parliament, published an article on The Sydney Morning Herald about Putin’s ten years in Russia’s big politics after the moment when Boris Yeltsin handed the reins of power to him.
“It was a good day for Russia and the world. Putin is Russia's finest leader since Peter the Great,” the Australian politician wrote.

Mr. Cameron believes that the West wrongly emphasizes the fact that Putin is a former KGB agen
