  • Saudi Arabia Culture: A Woman's Perspective - Reading a novel about Saudi Arabian history, studying the Sunni Wahhabi beliefs, or watching the evening news doesn't give Westerners true insight into Saudi Arabia culture. Indeed, a culture that is so foreign to the Western lifestyle may seem impenetrable - until you hear the account of a Western woman who lived the culture while nursing in Saudi. Those in the medical profession have the kind of access to the inner workings of the Kingdom in a way that other Westerners simply don't. After all, most contractors live in relative isolation, staying in compounds designed not to raise the ire of Wahhabists who view Westerners (and even other Muslims who don't ascribe to Wahhabi beliefs) as infidels.
  • Saudi Arabia Culture: The Wedding March - Even though Saudi Arabia takes a starring role on the world stage for both its influence in the politics of the Middle East and in its capacity as a major oil producing nation, most Americans perceive the country as one shrouded in mystery, much as its women are shrouded behind the veils they wear.
  • Oil Stocks As A Long Term Investment - The demand for world oil is increasing while world reserves are decreasing. This is a known fact.

Companies like Exxon Mobil Corp., Royal Dutch/Shell Group and Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.

Take the steady, troublesome decline of the value of the American dollar. (See “The Incredible Shrinking Dollar” at www.collectivewizdom.com) That now well-established decline has turned into what appears eerily like a nosedive. The dollar has now lost about 46% of its value against this newly-created Frankenstein of Old-World Eouropean currencies.

  • Are the most commonly prescribed drugs of our time safe? - New research is revealing some alarming concerns over the safety of Statin agents and questioning their effectiveness in a high percentage of patients taking these drugs.
