What Obama means to America - 2012 Victory over Romney

Barack Obama won another election and this time won over a 'young' Mitt Romney.

Romney gave a push to try to become the new president but it isn't meant to be. Now Obama can pursue all the things he started and that was the focus of his campaign. I think at the end of the day most people didn't rust Mitt Romney and there were many global fears that America would become a closed nation that didn't care to work with their partners or neighbors.

Barack Obama had the worst situation given to him with George Bush destroying the economy but many people putting the blame on Obama. It appears to be a first time that the president that acquires an economy in recession usually doesn't get a second term but Obama had the best campaigners possible and that was enough to push them over the edge to capture a second term as President. Now what appears to be the last item in the way of having Obama getting anything done is the House vs the Senate.

In years to come political sciences will look at this marketing campaign by Obama and declare it the best ever done to date. He defied a lot of odds and kept a composure that Romney simply couldn't challenge. 

In his victory speech made to his own campaign team it has been shown repeatedly on CNN which shows the human side of Obama as he cries and delivers yet another good speech. He was just thanking the team of his young campaign staffers and he wells up and gets a great ovation.

Now it is back to work for Obama as he prepares for yet another speech on Capitol Hill. 

Effect of Global Food Price Hikes

Effect of Global Food Price Hikes One of the most important things which people need is food.

Most of the food that we consume came from plants. Plants need the help of both water and light in order to process photosynthesis which then convert these materials to energy and make the plants grow and produce fruits and vegetables. But this year, most of the countries experiences long hot summer. This means that the supply of water will be limited and there will be too much sunlight. These would greatly affect the production of crops. In this manner, farmers will be able to harvest smaller portion of what they have planted. In basic economy, the lesser the supply of crops, the higher the demand of food, means that price of those crops will surely soar high.

If there will be an increased in the price of the food then most likely, the one that would be surely affected were those poor people who have no capacity on buying expensive food. Since those people can’t buy their own food, then a lot of people for example those who were in Africa dies from starvation. As we can see, hunger is one of the major problems our world is facing. From this kind of problem another problem will be born such as increase of crime rate.

We are aware of what is climate change; even America has no excuse with this phenomenon. America was known to be the most powerful country and has the largest grain exporters but still they struggles from worst production shortfalls. Fortunately, World Bank made an action by meeting up each country and discuss on making their laws and policies stronger in order to protect those people which made up the country.

Without those people, a country will never be called a country. In addition, World Bank also team up with the United Nations and some non-Government organization. They focus on how the government takes action when global food price hikes. In these manners, sellers, businessmen, and merchants will be able to sell their price with respect to the proper pricing.

Wine Market: At Present a Consumers Market

The marketplace is a complex and sometimes brutal arena that dictates how much that 93 point, full-bodied shiraz with notes of cherry and a nose of spice is be priced at, and whether that price will lure the consumer enough to give it a sample. Environmental changes seem to impact grape production and taste almost as much as this depressed economy. More expensive wines may put consumers off their meals, however studies demonstrate people tend to equate higher priced wines with having better taste, even when blind taste-testings prove price a thin correlation. Governmental regulations have influence as well, for example, when France dictates where the Champagne region should expand. And effective marketing, which is crucial in the wine industry, must be given allotted its due weight.

Americans seem to be shifting their wine tastes and purchasing power away from traditional European wines to those from the newer growing regions of Argentina, Chile, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. Boxed wine sales appear to still be strong, indicating a recessionary “trade down” effect is still holding (where buyers save money by trading quality of an item for price.) However, growers and producers are fairing poorer than consumers, as good wines are being priced down to maintain a competitive edge. It is still the time to look for the steal on the Premier Crus and Châteaux that have been traditionally out of reach. For the time being, it remains a buyers market.

Is fashion bad for your health?

Just this week I read a few articles about all things fashion related that could be bad for your health. First I saw an article in thestar.com that talked about how recent tests of popular lipstick brands are showing significant amounts of lead. Hardly the type of thing anybody wants to read about or find in lipstick.

So first thing is first, you can find numerous articles of lipstick found in lead and you can read that here as well. For an industry that is literally worth billions it is shocking that female politicians don't demand that these billion dollar makeup corporations live up to higher standards and not charge the most for their product while producing it for the least amount of money.

There there is the lead found in vinyl bags and fake leather. It is noted that there have been some lawsuits as a result of these lead traces for Target and Macy's. It seems consumers are stuck with choices that they are not even sure if they know which ones they are making.

What is worse is that younger girls are picking up on these fashion trends and girls under 10 are starting to wear more make up and care way too much about fashion these days. It is sad knowing that unless fashion and makeup business get regulated these girls are going to be the ones stuck with the problems of lead contamination. Lead is surprisingly everywhere but it doesn't need to be that way.

Nuclear reactor meltdown in Japan Fukushima

It looks as though a nuclear meltdown is taking place in Japan after the 1-2 destruction of the 8.9 earth quake followed by the tsunami. Videos are appearing of some of the nuclear facilities seeing smoke after explosions. You make the decision as to what is really going to happen after seeing this video:

 

Now at the moment the news is focusing mainly on multiple reactors in jeopardy of a meltdown. This would be a major worldwide disaster and follows 2 previous nuclear disasters in USA and in former Russia now Ukraine in Chernobyl.

It is unknown how many nuclear power plants are in jeopardy of melting but clearly this region in Japan just north of Tokyo is very unstable. The area has been hit by a massive 8.9 earthquake and nobody knows if there are more earthquakes on the horizon.

US security is going too far for international travelers

I saw this horrible video at webtvhub which shows that the US government is now demanding dna samples and finger prints from international travelers, you can see the video here at webtvhub.com. This whole war on terrorism is going too far.

See the video at webtvhub.

What is your take on the subject matter. Do you think the US has the right to demand such private data? Do you think travelers will skip going to the United States over invasive laws?

Christmas shopping deals

If you haven't bought all of your gifts already to complete your Christmas shopping you might want to consider checking out a few sites and check the search engines for christmas shopping deals. Probably the best site worth checking over the holidays is groupon. Right now the groupon sites are getting flooded this Christmas holiday shopping season so sign up to their newsletter and stay on top of the deals they are running.

Some things worth keeping an eye out for shopping are electronics including 3d tvs and HDTVs. The demand is high but shoppers are really being conscious of their spending this year more than ever with the economy slumping the way it is. If you really want to save your money and take advantage of the best deals then you should wait until January as companies will be trying to liquidate all the excess merchandise they have.

Expect many electronics to drop in price on everything except for apple related products. Typically apple doesn't offer discounts so you won't be able to save on an ipad or an iphone this Christmas. Everything else should be heavily on sale.

Forums are a waste of time

Are you addicted to forums? Do you spend too much time talking about other people on forums? If you do then you may be a loser. With your time that you have you can spend it anyway you want. Some people choose to do it on forums instead of doing something productive. 

If you're chatting on a business forum then you could of course be doing some work. Just look at the top performers in any industry. You won't see them chatting away on a forum or facebook. They will actually be working and whenever they go on any forum they just shake their heads at the people who stick around to post. 

Of course being on a forum is good only if you're the owner of the forum and you benefit from it.

Otherwise it's better to spend your time doing work or living your life, not spending it on a forum talking about someone else's life. 

Hottest weather on record 2010

2010 is officially the hottest temperatures seen all around the world. For those who don't believe that global warming is real then maybe they should just get used to the record temperatures happening around the world especially in the northern hemisphere.

Moscow, Russia rarely gets mid 30 temperatures and the record of 37oC was broken many times this summer which is suffocating the city where the residents are used to cooler climates and are finding it tough to cope. The higher temperatures are leaving the forests more vulnerable as fires surround the city and are making it tough to breath in the air.
