by James T B

When people think of global warming, many fail to take into account what global weather changes we may be faced with as a direct result of increasing temperatures.

Midges Still Biting Due to Mild November Weather
by Darren Short XIV

An unusually bright and mild November has meant the UK midge population has been in good health which is bad news for us as we continue to be bitten into, what should be the winter. This November is being dubbed by many as the mildest we’ve ever had due to unusually high temperatures and amounts of sun. It would be understandable to expect waking up to a frozen landscape, and needing to deice the car before heading to work but instead most of us have been met by hazy November sunshine in the mornings.

Will Canary Islands Volcano Heat Surface Waters Giving a Surge to Hurricane Formations?
by Lance Winslow

It appears there is a volcano going on right off the coast of the Canary Islands. As you know the Canary Islands are owned by Spain and over the last hundreds of millions of years these islands have grown due to volcanic activity. In fact, right now the underwater volcano there has risen 100 meters, and is now only 70 meters from the surface of the water, while the gases are causing the sea water to gush up like a water feature about 20 meters above the surface.

Most Americans are under the impression that the Atlantic Ocean is the world’s hotbed of hurricane activity.

So for Americans, the eastern seaboard, including the Gulf of Mexico’s coastline, are where most hurricanes come to shore.

Will A Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Cream Help Prevent Stretch Marks?

One of the most fun and joyful times in a woman’s life is during her nine months of pregnancy: the expectancy of giving birth to a new baby. Yet, there are some things which occur that are not so pleasant. The appearance of stretch marks is one of the inevitable results of pregnancy. Unfortunately, stretch marks do not go away on their own like fatigue, nausea, and swelling. While there is no way to completely avoid developing stretch marks, there are things that you can do to help minimize the appearance. Dermatologists recommend that you keep your skin moisturized throughout the pregnancy and afterward. This will keep the skin supple and better able to stretch. A tried and true formula for many is the inexpensive cocoa butter stretch marks regimen.

However, there are some studies which have shown that applying cocoa butter during pregnancy is not that effective in preventing stretch marks. The ope
1000
rative word in this statement is prevent. Nearly every woman will get stretch marks during her pregnancy, so prevention is not possible. The key is to do whatever you can to minimize their appearance. Early treatment is going to make a difference. So, while it is true that stretch marks are inevitable, they will be worse if you do nothing. Doctors still recommend cocoa butter stretch marks treatment even though scientific evidence does not support its effectiveness.

Using a cocoa butter stretch marks cream has been an acceptable treatment for many years. The natural ingredients in cocoa butter gives expectant mothers comfort in knowing that they are not using chemicals that could possibly harm their baby. Cocoa butter can penetrate both the top layer and second layer of the skin. Many believe that the ingredients begin preparing the skin once it has reached the second layer. Cocoa butter also removes the discoloration which occurs on the skin as a result of stretch marks.

Our skin protects us from many harmful things, but it still has its limits. Keeping your skin in the best condition will ensure that it keeps you in your best condition. Healthy skin comes from years of eating the right things and constant moisturizing. Looking for a miracle can lead to disappointment. Using a loofah or skin brush during your shower stimulates circulation. Vitamin E oil is also good for stretch marks. Eating foods rich in vitamins A, E and C is also good. Just remember not to have more than 25,000 IU of vitamin A during your pregnancy.

Cocoa butter stretch marks lotions work best if you include it with a combination of other things.

Student Loans Are the Next (Intellectual) Property Debacle
by B. Todish Higher education is, and has been for some time, a RICO (Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations) conspiracy! We need a federal investigation because student loan monies constitute a repeat of what the mortgage crisis was and still is. Instead of having real property mortgages, students were and are being manipulated into going into student loan slavery debt for the false intellectual “property” of a worthless college degree! Inflation and Debasement, Cause and Effect
by Carmen Alexe

In 1928 the cost of one stamp was one penny, the labor for a vehicle tune-up was one dollar, and labor charge to overhaul an engine and transmission was about $25. These facts reinforce the case for the dollar debasement that Austrian School economists have been making for decades. Read this article to learn how currency debasement is a consequence of monetary inflation.

Sure We’ll Keep The Factory Here, But We Have to Ditch All the Workers in That Case
by Lance Winslow

It was interesting to listen to President Obama during his state of the union speech, which I call the state of the onion speech, where he talked about the corporate off-shoring of jobs in manufacturing, and how he wished to prevent that from happening. The unions love his ideas, because it means more jobs for Americans, but it also means global protectionism, which will highly affect our exports as well. That means whereas we put tariffs on for incoming products, other countries will put tariffs on everything that we shipped out.

Progressivism Isn’t Progress, VII
by Michael Hume

I still hear otherwise-brilliant people (including the erudite Newt Gingrich and talented talker Glenn Beck) refer to this “progressivism of the right,” claiming that it leads to fascism as inexorably as “progressivism of the left” leads to communism. That’s wrong. It’s true that progressivism is a disease that’s infected all major American institutions of influence, including both political parties, but in fact progressivism only “progresses” in one direction: toward the left, toward big government, and toward totalitarian statism….

Stretch Marks During Pregnancy

The first step in preventing stretch marks is to develop a routine skin care program. Don’t make your program so complicated or cumbersome that you will not stick with it. A simple plan that you will be able to follow easily on a daily basis will prove far more effective than a more elaborate routine that you will only follow on a hit and miss basis.

It is wrong to think that you can eat as much as you want because you are now feeding both yourself and your baby. You should instead follow ideal diet requirements from your doctor that will not starve you or your baby but will also result in just gaining a little over 25 extra lbs. You can also perform pregnancy exercises to make sure that you keep to your ideal weight.

Pregnancy can be an exciting time for first time mothers. It is also a challenging time. Women have to cope with headaches, unusual food preferences, nausea, and the dreaded appearance of stretch marks not only on their bellies, but also on their breasts, buttocks, thighs and arms.

Though pregnancy marks are not dangerous but it can result in some odd looks in the belly skin especially for those who are in fashion world. They may feel bit embarrassing in wearing swimsuits or any other bold and trendy dresses due to these unwanted marks.

During the 6th and 7th months of pregnancy is the time when when stretch marks usually appear. The number one reason for stretch marks is that the skin is forced to stretch too much, too quickly. You can equate your skin to a piece of elastic, if you over stretch it, it will lose some of its elasticity and won’t return to its original form, and you may even find that it becomes wrinkled along the edges. The same can happen with your body.

You need to stay within the ideal weight range through your entire pregnancy. You need to gain no more than 5 pounds in the first trimester, and 1 pound per week during the second and third trimester. You should look at a total of 25-35 pounds during your entire pregnancy.

Another type of oil that you can use at home is mandarin oil. This oil is also known for being quite soothing, and it will help in moisturizing your skin and giving it the nutrients which it needs to help fight the appearance of these scars. If you already have stretch marks, another highly recommended product is emu oil. Emu oil has often been used for treating these scars because it penetrates the lower layers of the skin, repairing the damage that has been done to the collagen, reducing the appearance of the scars which are known as stretch marks.

It is not only good for the eyes, but it also promotes healthy hair, bones and nails. It repairs injured skin and get rid of your scaly skin if you have one. Vitamin A helps prevent stretch marks in that it makes the skin soft and full, stimulates the renewal process of the skin cells, which leads to the thickening of the skin. Lastly, it increases collagen content, which leads to the improved elasticity of the skin.

Be sure that your diet contains adequate sources of the nutrients needed for healthy skin. Remember, stretch marks can result from nutritional deficiency. Be sure to consume foods that promote skin health. Eat plenty of zinc-rich foods such as fish and nuts. Foods like carrots, milk and citrus fruits are high in vitamins C, D, and A. Choose 2-3 servings daily of protein-rich foods such as eggs. Sufficient protein is essential.

2010 had been an eventful year for America in politics. The Obama administration continues to face challenges; Democrats and Republicans made triumphs and compromises, and the Tea Party Movement grows stronger. Here’s a review of the top 10 news of 2010.

1. Health Care Reform is Signed into Law

Democrats spent a big part of 2009 attempting to pass a comprehensive health care reform. On March 22, 2010, they finally rallied together leading to the reform being passed (within a narrow margin). It was signed by the President four days later. Called the ObamaCare, it is undoubtedly the most significant health care reform in decades.

2. Sarah Palin Mania

The former Vice-President candidate has become the most visible Republican in the country. Since 2009, Sarah Palin has refined her ability to generate media attention and popularity and has become a considerable political clout. She made headlines both in a positive and negative light, and comes only second to Obama for being the most followed American politician today.

3. Afghanistan

In 2010, America lost the lives of 497 soldiers in the war in Afghanistan. However, the story failed to gather the appropriate public attention. This news is definitely important, but it seems the significance is lost to an American public that’s already too tired of the conflict and the continuing loss it brings.

4. The Bush Tax Cuts

Amidst criticisms from the progressives, President Obama reached a compromise with Republicans to extend tax cuts for the wealthy for an additional two years. In return, the GOP grants Obama a 13 month extension of unemployment benefits plus a number of provisions.

5. SB1070 Controversy

After the Arizona Legislature passed the controversial illegal immigration enforcement bill SB1070 in April, the Obama administration sued the state before the new law could be enacted, contending that the legislation encroached upon the federal government’s jurisdiction to control the state’s pesky illegal immigration problem.

6. The Continued Decline of the U.S. Economy’s

“Jobless recovery” became a popular term around mid of 2010, but the so-called economic recovery didn’t feel like a recovery at all. The federal government may infuse a lot of cash to the economy, but it hasn’t done anything to convince Americans that the recession was over. A weak housing sector and continued high unemployment rate is more than enough evidence to the contrary.

7. The High Unemployment Rate

One of the biggest news of 2010 was the continued efforts by Democrats to make unemployment benefits last, which has forced Republicans to concede extending the federal benefits plan incrementally throughout the year. In exchange, Republicans get to extend the Bush Tax Cuts across the board.

8. Republicans Take Back the House

Republicans gained the majority in the House of Representatives. Their win in the 2010 midterm election will grant the GOP increasing power with which to barricade President Obama over the next two years.

9. The Tea Party Movement’s Influence Grows

Delaware Republican Christine O’Donnell’s win in the state’s Senate primary election caused everyone to consider the Tea Party Movement as a considerable and growing force in American politics. As the Tea Party continues to gain power in 2011, most conservatives believe the mainstream GOP will be forced to embrace it. If not, party leaders may very well see a shakeup of revolutionary proportions.

10. Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill

The Gulf oil spill can’t miss being in the top 10 news of 2010. Dominating the news for well over four months, it easily caused great political and economic repercussions to the whole country. The tragedy caused President Obama to face claims of inadequate response and has similarly damaged Republicans who made a number of verbal gaffes during the crisis.
