The shale oil shall make the US exporter of fuel by 2030


Of late, 'The International Energy Agency' has revealed that the US shall become the premier world producer of fuel within a matter of eight years.

This extraordinary conclusion was published on November 12, 2012. Thus, three different dates are forwarded to be remembered:

2020: The US shall be the premier world producer of gasoline leading Russia and Saudi Arabia.
2030: The US will be the exporter of hydrocarbons and fuel.
2035: The US shall become self-sufficient in the supply of energy.

It is tempting to see such quotable contortions as oftentimes folks try some shrewd attempts to garner up hip and hype hinged on some carousel of events thanks to the recent exploitation of gas and shale oil.

The economic impact in terms of job creation as well as purchasing power was very high as nearly 600,000 different posts were duly created.

In North Dakota everyday 700,000 barrels of shale oil are drawn. In Alaska they have discovered tons and tons of Methane (CH4) gas deposit.

For the time being, they still get into some difficulties over extracting the shale oil coz they have to drill down below almost 150 meters underneath the earth and the forage needs a great quantity of water to drill through the rocks. Which is why, other countries like Poland and France still hesitate as this whole process has the tendency to destroy the ground water thereby spoiling the whole ecosystem of the countries concerned. It is estimated that right where the Eiffel Tower is located there is a deposit of shale oil worth thousand billion of euros. It ain't a prank. Some of the experts are trying to hone the existing oil extracting methods so as to help become some of these countries one day in future self-sufficient in energy.

Jimmy Carter once proclaimed that in order to import oil from the Middle East the US wouldn't hesitate to lock horns with those who oppose them to do so. As of now, in case the US becomes self-sufficient in energy they will let the rest of the world on their own, and they would search to ameliorate their standard of living by means of local amenities.

The newly re-elected President Barack Obama of the US will be proved to be a godsend for all the US citizens as he is a stellar and cool statesman who doesn't search unwanted tiff as well as the war of words against all those baddies of the world wherever you turn your head. Most probably our beloved Americans were spared themselves a sort of endogamy that the tricky Mormon Mitt Romney would've spread all over with his conservative GOP party.

About three months ago somewhere at Pennsylvania in the US they created the fastest and the most powerful computer which has the capacity to calculate million of billion times more accurate data as performed just less than a week ago by a french society Bull in France, and put at the service of meteorology. That's quite a deadly competition for those like China that were boasting to surpass the giants of the Occident.

That way the US beats Europe, Russia and China hands down! Seriously!?!

Ecosystem theories and management system (Short version and revised)


It dawned on me as if I were slated for escalating the trend of events as well as to right the wrongs in the clutter of aberrations that we feel and witness everyday around us. I have sort of a sneaking feeling that there is an avalanche heading our way coz day after day we come to notice as to how fast things are coming apart at the seams.

In fact, if we can't afford to pick and chose in an attempt to staving off the time and are equally incapable of surpassing those outdated thoughts and harebrained ideas that ruined our financial and economic strongholds, we are liable to drift away from setting ourselves a goal to catch up the lost time.

At times, when a guy used to perceive MBA (Master of Business Administration) degrees as a jackpot to earning the highest emolument as well as reaching the summit of glory and be propelled to the most fortunate status symbol to mint a dollop of buck has become a mere subject of mockery. Owing to the barbs of criticism emanating from all parts, the creativity thereof has become vulnerable and generic.

In essence, the Reaganomics and Thatcherite outrageous dogmas of financial deregulation and monetarism, which caused the shakedown of whole setup, duly advocated by Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek culminated in the highest peak added by some hazardous events such as the unexpected fall of the Berlin Wall on November O9, 1989, those neoliberals were having the wind in their sails to seize golden occasions to have their places in the sun by flourishing their businesses to make fast and easy buck in those formerly Communist countries which never had experienced any sort of prosperity neither material nor an ounce of satisfaction to be the lackeys of the defunct USSR.

Without flinching, in this effervescence everybody thought there were unique opportunities to earn lots of money, and for that the most suitable formula was 'Go East'. There were many gung ho candidates fit for a new and modern adventure similar to that of erstwhile US Wild, Wild West.

Let us see how the Fed (Federal Reserve Bank) enacted triggered by Alan Greenspan, the former big shot of the Fed, and the following adage has been added to his already infamous glory, “If folks cannot have higher income, let us give them debt”. With this, under his chairmanship of machine for purchasing anything on credit, Americans became the champions of all categories of spending binge.

The other day an American society specialized in manufacturing the interior cladding of cars was very reluctant to lay off 1,000 of her employees so that she could install her factory in India where an average worker is paid a salary of all in all 69 euros. The same jobholder in the Occident earns a lump sum of 1,500 euros plus about 50 per cent of extra charges, ie., the boss pays in total about 2,250 euros from his pocket ( social security, income tax and miscellaneous expenses included.)

In the same manner, a pair of sneakers of great Trademark* such as Adidas, Nike, Reebok made in Chinese factories is available in the markets of the Occident for the price of around 110 euros, whereas when it comes out just from the factory in China, it hardly costs 7 to 12 euros to a buyer. This is how the multitask international societies rob you blind by taking huge benefits without paying a decent salary to those subservient as well as low-cost laborers of the developing countries, thereby killing millions and millions of jobs in the developed world.

If the West doesn't invent new jobs of very high quality in the field of nanotechnologies, ecology-friendly energy, bio-diversified agricultural and scientific domains par excellence applying the knowledge economy, nontransferable to certain extent, I have a gut feeling that the toll of joblessness will be so high and out of control that a social agitation is for sure on the way of making. Which is why, for the sake of amour-propre, social peace and harmony it is important that the politicians had risen to the occasion to remedy such deleterious and degrading industrial comedown.

The subprime bust that triggered a financial tsunami was effectively wrought by bankers and traders to make easy buck. There were no uncertain ways to downright betting that the housing market would tank and suck millions of Americans in the mow of foreclosure of homes with underwater mortgages spawning huge loss for the banks involved; and, to cap it all off, the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers as an icing on the cake, awakened them from their torpor which found them hanging their heads with irritation and shame.

Point of fact, the way Wall Street shysters cheated the Main Street stakeholders by rigging them off as in the highway robbery playing freely with the deposits of commoners on the 'worldwide open casinos' is simply inadmissible. Post such banking systems' disaster, Goldman Sachs, to cite, but one, was coddled as if it had every right to fan the embers of global sputtering economy and went free of sequel to redo the same old business as usual.

If they want to keep at doing the same kinds of business, it is imperative as well as fitting that the Occident should be on a constant creation of the new jobs to maintain the same momentum and number of consumers. Otherwise, a slowing down of economic activity shall but toggle switch the new opportunities to the detriment of those involved in this rat race.

In a nutshell, these countries of the yet developing world are bound to purchase and renew their stocks of modern technology if they do not want to lag behind.

If the inhabitants of this planet do not pay heed to these seemingly easy going but cruel competition of overall transactions in an inexhaustible race against the clock, one day everybody will live to regret it.

Nepal's Trans-Himalayan Economy

The day Nepalese will assimilate and swallow the chunk that economics of a country is far more important than politics, this country, Nepal, will sure enough come out of its ashes as a Phoenix to revive its importance as a performing entity in the Regional Trans-Himalayan Economy.

In a way, the cross-border trades between Nepal and its neighbors of the south i.e., India and of the north i.e., Tibet now China always existed in the past through the centuries. They slacked down because of political changes and turmoil befallen the whole range of Himalayan region as China became communist and Tibet lost its independence.

As of now, we can skim off some of those possibilities by intensifying the construction of highways with an eye to fostering and enhancing cross-border trades by improving the state of ancient mule tracks or silk roads transforming them into asphalted highways. Also in order to boost touristic and business activities as the demand of Nepal is in rise in China and elsewhere for trekking, rafting, and simply for sightseeing purposes thanks to the amelioration of purchasing power of the populace everywhere, and they crave for paying a visit to an exotic country like Nepal whenever downtime arrives.

Many things have already transformed the region into a promising hub of international business transactions amongst the proponents of this area beginning with Pakistan, Tajikistan, Kirghistan, Uzbekistan, Xinjiang and Tibet of China, India, Myanmar, Thailand and Laos etc. Only Nepal is missing because of its involvement in the Maoists' shenanigans.

For starters, it is of vital importance to mention on this thread the fact that already China and India are way ahead to downplay the old enmity and to focus only on their mutual understanding and economic benefits to hype commercial aspects of the issue because politics is never a science of exactitude but of intricacies and fallout. Whereas, economics is concrete and vibrant to invigorating a region of the world like Nepal where the protagonists of different factions are trying to shore up democracy to give birth to a more egalitarian society.

The keystones to all development need to resuscitating the rise of awareness and inspire change to be both inspirational and hands-on practical near the young hopefuls who sure enough shall come onto the future making of the region any time soon. For all that what political road map do we find at our disposal?

Case in point, Chinese are extremely busy with making progress on the cross-border highway which stretches from the Chinese border to the Nepalese town of Syabrubensi, 17 km long inside Nepalese territory, costing US 20 million dollar (approx.). The same highway could be prolonged all the way to India simply by improving and asphalting the existing pilgrimage road to Gosainkunda which will sure enough help boosting trade transactions between India and China through Nepal. Only time will prove whether Nepalese are on to a good thing or not.

Above all, there is the Karakorum Highway connecting Pakistan territory to the west part of China such as Xinjiang. Then comes the Srinagar-Kargil-Leh Highway which extends northward from Leh to the Tibetan plateau and prolongs southward way down to Manali in Himachal Pradesh by surpassing the pass of Rohtang-la where a tunnel of about 8 km is already underway of realization since the month of June 2010.

In the eastern part of India as Arunanchal Pradesh has been the bone of contention between India and China not very many roadways could be constructed but one that prolongs from Shillong to Tejpur and beyond is already quite useful for the Indian government to meet the needs of the border patrolling of the military troops.

But most significantly, India has leveled up the dearth in the ancient silk road between Nathu-la and Jalep-la passes and Kalimpong, and then heading to Siliguri in West Bengal. For now, trucks and trucks of exchanges between China and India are being made through this highway which penetrates into the eastern part of Sikkim only one day journey to the borderlines from Kalimpong. The other highway bifurcates from Teesta, 10 km away from Kalimpong on the way to Siliguri, heading to Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim, and from Gangtok half a day drive (56 km) to the Nathu-la pass. The lorries drive all the way to Lhasa via Yatung.

It is said that the ancient silk road between Amritsar and Lhasa via Leh will be established in time to come. As far as Nepal is concerned, right from Raxaul in the Indian borderline, a highway leading to Kathmandu is already available and as per the promises of the successive governments to renewing this Tribhuvan Highway by constructing a tunnel underneath the Shivalik Parbat linking Kathmandu via Dakchhinkali, which was inaugurated in November 2009 by the then Vice-Premier and the Foreign Minister Ms. Sujata Koirala along with the NC and CA members of Terai. This important endeavor is undertaken by the Nepalese National Army, according to the nowcast it will take hardly 90 minutes from Kathmandu to the border-town Birganj when this famous project will be ended. Meanwhile, an international hub airport is scheduled to be built at Nijgarh which shall be connected with Kathmandu by means of a shuttle. And the Arniko Highway if the potholes were well repaired could be highly useful to drive up to Lhasa via Barabise and Kodari.

Evidently, it is Nepal which is missing not our neighbors of the south and the north. Because China is equally very busy with new projects on the northern slope of the Himalaya by constructing several dams on Brahmaputra river so as to deviate water to the north basin of China where industrialization has created lots of needs in the utility of water, as well as by extracting the minerals from the rich soil of Tibet that China needs them for the most part.


Next, the American geologists have discovered that the soil of Afghanistan contains about 1 trillion dollar worth of metals, minerals and other miscellaneous riches, such as lithium (Li) most useful for new kind of battery for the accumulation of electricity and for computer. When this country will come out of the present quagmire created by Taliban there is ample things to do in that region provided the Afghans are desirous  of
  expanding businesses as well as creating riches for themselves.

And the aftermath is entirely at the hands of the folks of this region of Himalayan belt whether they dream of better life by promoting peace and harmony living side by side with each other or not. Would those dams on Brahmaputra create a conflict between China and India in the long run as the whole eastern part of India is dependent of Brahmaputra river whose sources are in Tibet, albeit Bangladesh and the lower basin of Assam are often hit by monsoon's water overflowing both Brahmaputra and Ganges?

Would the economy be improved anytime soon, none could possibly predict!?!

The 'Ten Commandments' to protect yourself from cancer disease

Here below you shall find the“ten commandments” in order to eradicate if not to diminish the cancer disease and change our daily habits by adapting the new ones to foil the aforesaid disease once for all:

1) Be as slim as possible. That does not mean you should be the victim of anorexia.

2) Daily sportive activities such as walking, bicycling, gymnastics, karate, stretching, swimming and football etc. for at least 30 minutes.

3) No more sugar added drinking such as coca cola (10 cubes of sugar per each bottle!). Instead, if you cannot give up taking sugar, better go for some extract of a plant called Stevia which contains ten times more sugary taste without calories added or take a spoonful of honey. Limit your excessive calorie providing nutriments, less fiber and fatty nutriments such as butter. Take omega 3, 6, and 9 providing oil such as rape seed or colza. Drinking water or green tea is recommended always more than 1.5 liters per day.

4) Increase and diversify your consumption of vegetables, fruits, whole cereals and dry vegetables. (Curcuma prevents you from cancer development of digestive organs whereas tomatoes, pomegranate and cranberry protect you from prostate glands infection.)

5) Limit taking red and fat meats such as mutton, pig and outside Nepal beef and keep away from delicatessen. (Give preference to fish, duck, turkey or chicken.)

6) If you drink alcohol you must limit it to one glass of wine per day if you are female and two glasses of wine if you are male.

7) Limit salted things like chips and peanuts etc. (salt less than 8g per day imperatively.)
8) The complementary nutriments do not protect you from cancer.

9) To avoid breast cancer the best remedy for mothers shall be the breast feeding for at least six months which is beneficial to both mother and baby alike.

10) After treatment, all cancer cured persons must follow strictly these recommendations cited above.

Besides, smoking is strictly prohibited.

A growth hormone called as IGF-1 (Insulin-like growth factor-1) that is found in our blood, if this hormone increases in quantity can be a major factor of cancerous cells in digestive organs.

The decreasing rate of IGF diminishes the risk of breast cancer, leukemia, cancer of digestive organs and prostate glands.

Our body doesn't produce D3 vitamin which is one of the most essential vitamins to help stop the metabolism change. Which is why you are advised to take a dose every three months of interval.

Only 10 to 20 per cent of cancer cases are of the genetic origins. That means the rest percentage of different cancers is provoked by our daily conducts and the environment wherein we live.
