  • 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.
  • 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. Most Americans know little of Saudi or Wahhabi history; what information they do have comes from a movie they've seen or a novel they've read. Maybe it's because Saudi Arabia culture is so different from ours that we have a fascination with their mores and customs.
  • Oil Stocks As A Long Term Investment - The demand for world oil is increasing while world reserves are decreasing. This is a known fact. The current price of oil can certainly confirm this statement. Consensus also agrees that we will never see $25.00 oil again. The logical conclusion to our above statement is oil stocks should be a good long term investment. However, the location of the oil companies’ reserves can affect their bottom line and valuation. Some of the largest reserves in the world are found in Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Russia and Canada. Political unrest in Venezuela, unstable and unpredictable government in Russia and Osama Bin Laden targeting Saudi Arabia leave Canada, namely the Alberta Oil Sands, as the largest, most reliable oil reserves in the world. Companies like Exxon Mobil Corp., Royal Dutch/Shell Group and Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.
  • The Perfect Storm In The American Economy--What The Dollar's Decline Really Means To Your Pocketbook - A single bad event, by itself, is rarely a cause for worry. But put that single bad event together with another seemingly unrelated bad event and, well, there could be serious trouble ahead. 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. It makes some of us who like to travel every now and again nostalgic for the good old days of French francs and German marks. The greenback’s decline means all of us Americans now have less purchasing power versus almost every other major currency ---the European euro, the Japanese yean, the Chinese yuan and so on.

  • What To Look Out For When You're Buying Travel Books - Surely everyone loves a good travel book but sometimes they can be disappointing, more often, say, than a recipe or handcraft book. There are ways to avoid missing the bus. Before forking out dollars for a travel book, ask yourself the following: am I in love with the idea of this book or the book itself? Take for example a book entitled "Gorgeous Morocco". Are you in love with the idea of glorious Morocco or the book you are holding in your hand? To establish this you need to ask: what is the purpose of buying this book? If you are planning a trip to Morocco and it's nuts-and-bolts information you are seeking, then it is no good buying the incoherent ramblings of a traveling school teacher in the 1950's.

  • Quit Being a Baby about Annuity Leads - Some days I just want to scream. I work with agents every day and for the most part I think agents are the biggest babies in the world. They are overpaid, work fewer hours than a federal employee and gripe more than anyone else. They can be among the most lazy set of people I have encountered. Not all, mind you, but the number of bad attitudes in this industry has reached plaugue like proportions. It is time to grow up and take charge of your business life. Work the hours, invest the money, see the people and quit belly aching to me and anyone else that will listen. Here is what I am talking about... An agent of ours ordered annuity leads from a new source.

  • The Need for Alternative Fuel - The United States still leads the way in the use of fossil fuels and is reluctant to change. The reason for this is that fossil fuels are seen as necessary evils which, in fact, they are not.

Oil, natural gas, and coal are all types of fossil fuels that provide us with the bulk of our energy. This is one of the biggest problems of the 21st century and one that urgently needs addressed.

  • Alternate Fuels For Lorries - So, we all know that the price of haulage fuel in the UK is ridiculous at the moment, with lorry fuel costing 50p per litre in the UK as compared to 25p per litre in mainland Europe.

Well the good news is yes, but the bad news is that some of the strange and wonderful haulage fuel sources aren’t exactly widely available alternative to groupage techniques as a solution to cash flow problems… Gas doesn’t grow on trees y’know… oh wait It may surprise some readers to learn that oil can in fact grow on trees!
  • Information On The History Of Coffee - The history of coffee is long and varied, full of intrigue and excitement. There are a couple of different legends about how coffee was discovered. One says that a shepherd discovered coffee after observing his sheep getting very active after eating the berries off of certain plants. He tried them, and felt the same boost of energy. The story goes that a passing monk observed this, and scolded the shepherd for eating of the “devil’s fruit.” The monks soon found out, however, that the berries would help them remain awake during prayers.

  • Have We Achieved Our Objectives In Iraq? - Exactly where are we in this conflict? It's difficult to cut through to the truth with so much hot air coming from all sides. I decided to go back and read the Joint Resolution approved October 2002 by the President and the Senate authorizing the invasion or liberation (take your pick) of Iraq. It begins with a bunch of whereas clauses summarizing the then current situation: Iraq had been kicked out of Kuwait and had agreed not to develop nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, and Iraq would not support terrorism; weapons inspectors had been forced to withdraw in 1998 and Congress had declared that Iraq's continued development of weapons of mass destruction threatened world peace; the Iraqi regime continued to brutalize its civilian population;
  • 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. How do Statins Work? The process of producing cholesterol begins with a two carbon molecule, acetyl-CoA, known as the "building block of life." Acetyl-CoA molecules combine to form hydroxymethyl glutaric acid (HMG). The enyme HMG-CoA reductase is required for mevalonate to be produced from HMG-CoA reductase. Statin drugs inhibit this enzyme and that is why they are known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. This is the reason for the reported numerous side effects. Statin drugs don't just inhibit the production of cholesterol.

  • Why The U.S. Fed's 0.50% Rate Cut Won't Save The U.S. Markets - “Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights” - Alan Greenspan, 1966, more than 20 years before he served as Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve from 1987-2006. Obviously, Alan Greenspan’s feelings regarding deficit spending experienced a 180º reversal once he became the U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman. However, one only need to understand the truth in that comment to understand where your money should be invested and why this mini-rally in global markets spurred by the Fed’s decision to cut the Federal Funds rate by 0.50%, even if it should extend into a larger rally, should cause you to be scared, and very scared at that.
  • Des Res The Most Expensive House In The World - In 2004 Des Res was voted one of the nicest words in the english language. There are many reason for this. In the property market estate agents, especially in the west end have a way of conjuring up a great word to describe a property without breaking the rules of trade description. Des Res [ déz réz ] (plural des reses) means superior house: a house or flat that is considered, especially by an estate agent, as highly desirable and obviously the shortening of desirable residence. Today newpapers often use the word to describe a broken down garage which sold for $500.000 dollars i.e. garage des res for sale only $500,000.

The western view, however, has been anything but philanthropic.

Originating in Arabia and Africa, the valuable properties of these scents have been recognized and utilized for both religious and non religious purposes for at least 5000 years. Modern science is only just beginning to investigate the health and medicinal benefits of frankincense and myrrh that have been documented in ancient medical texts from Egypt, Europe and India.

  • What Does It Mean -- Saturn Return - You’ve heard about Saturn Return. What is it exactly? It’s a time to prepare for, that’s for sure.
