PUBLIC ADVOCACY: On my way to Tel Aviv, all the news from my companion, THE FINANCIAL TIMES. Topical news on Iran and Finance, still relevant
1. FT 10/26/13. Iran’s middle classes hit by inflation and declining Rial? The sanctions are hard on them as detailed in the FT, they have a higher cost of living, they’ll be forced to rent and, sell their carpets? According to Nobel prize winner, in exile, Ebadi, detente with the West hasn’t changed Iran’s human rights situation. Another complex society?
Is it possible, The sanctions are less hurtful then the drain on Iran’s economy due to the Iranian leaders Nation Building ? Curtailing the nuclear program may be desirable, but first get the Iranians out of Syria along with all foreign fighters. That is humane. Give the Syrian people back their lives. Once that is accomplished, you can focus on the Iranian sanctions. War drains a country’s resources.
After 30 years, maybe it’s time for the entire ” neighborhood ” to sit in on the Iranian talks? Hey, you never know, something is usually accomplished by speaking and listening to all concerned?
2. FT 10/26/13. QE froth is great for asset prices, less so for the real world. Why are they coupling unemployment with continued Fed bond purchases? Actually unemployment is inversely proportional to the Fed purchases. The more the Fed pumps the market, the less likely, investors will turn to solving the underlying economic problems plaguing our country. This stimulus is bad for the middle and lower classes as everyone else, still holding onto a portfolio , continues to party on. Even the B of A is concerned that the longer it takes to feed liquidity through the economy, the more excess valuations will persist in financial assets. Irrational Exuberance once again? What’s our choice?
3. FT book reports! Are western democracies losing their ability to learn from their mistakes? ( Three books reviewed By Mark Mazower. ) (1. David Runciman’s The Confidence Trap) ( 2. Stein Ringen Nation of Devils : Democratic Leadership and the problem of Obedience ( and ( 3. Phillip Coggan ‘s The last vote: The threats to Western Democracy ). All three authors approach the same topic in different ways, while responding to their anxiety over the loss of ideas. All three are concerned that Democracy as we know it has evolved into a nightmare inhabited by Billionaires and the unemployed hoards leading to the ever narrowing vision of the collective good . Coggan and his fellow authors want to rouse us, but as de Tocqueville warned, this is the kind of nightmare from which Democracy may never awake.
4. LOL. CRASH COURSE, 6 years from the start of the credit crisis , former FEDERAL RESERVE chief Alan Greenspan, states that he got it wrong, at least in part….The ” maestro” relied upon mathematical models rather then behavioral psychology. That’s the problem, in a perfect world. Mathematics may work, but human nature can not be ignored. It seems that the level of greed escaped most people’s vision and led to the financial collapse of 2008.
Have we changed? We still have choices, including closing our eyes to reality and hoping for the best?
Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the
web the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you,
I definitely get annoyed while people think about worries that
they just don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole
thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal.
Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin
