Pine Nut Oil Anticellulite properties of terpene balsam Anticellulite properties of terpene balsam Cellulite is a change in the structure of adipose tissue. The fat layer disrupts the circulatory system in the cells, thereby reducing the tone of the epidermis. As a result, the skin surface becomes bumpy and looks like an orange peel, hence the second name of cellulite is orangepeel skin. The causes of cellulite are still not fully understood. Much depends on heredity and lifestyle lack of physical activity, excess weight, and poor nutrition are risk factors. However, cellulite can appear in very thin women who are actively involved in sports. The main thing that unites all cases of cellulite is a violation in the lymphatic system. Pine nut oil enriched with pine resin supports the health of the lymphatic system and promotes the elimination of toxins. Thanks to this, resin extract is effective for getting rid of cellulite. Resin extract has a beneficial effect on the lymphatic system Normal blood circulation

is provided by the work of two interconnected systems cardiovascular and lymphatic. The health of the lymphatic system is important for the prevention of cellulite. Flavonoids, phytoncides, antioxidant vitamins E and A, and pectin that are contained in resin extract, have a beneficial effect on the lymphatic system. All these substances help to liquefy the lymph and maintain fluid balance in the body. Therefore, pine nut oil enriched with pine resin prevents microcirculation disturbances, lymph stagnation, and, as a result, the appearance of cellulite. In addition, resin extract supports the health of organs associated with the lymphatic system the liver and kidneys. For their normal functioning, pectin is necessary, as well as B vitamins contained in pine nut oil. 1 The liver produces a lot of lymph. Therefore, if you take care of the health of the liver, you support the entire lymphatic system. Resin extract promotes the elimination of toxins One of the causes of orangepeel skin is the accumulation of toxin

s. Due to disturbed microcirculation, cells stop releasing their waste products and accumulate toxins instead of removing them. To successfully fight cellulite, it is very important to detoxify the body. Pine nut oil enriched with pine resin contains nutrients that protect the body from the penetration of toxins from the outside contribute to the rapid removal of toxins. Maintaining the skins protective barrier is most important to prevent the entry of toxins. This natural barrier is most often affected by lipid synthesis disorders that ensure the correct structure of the extracellular matrix. Essential fatty acids Omega3 and Omega6 that are rich in pine nut oil, are essential for the synthesis of lipids.2 To remove toxins, the following substances are needed Tocopherol contained in pine nut oil. It provides comprehensive protection of the body against free radicals and promotes detoxification of the body. Essential amino acids contained in pine nut oil. They neutralize the action of free radicals and remove

toxins from the body.3 Terpenes contained in pine resin. They have disinfecting properties and reduce the toxic bacterial load. To combat cellulite, you can use pine nut oil enriched with pine resin both internally 12 teaspoons before meals and externally. The oil can be added to water when taking a bath. You can also wipe problem areas of the skin with a cotton swab dipped in resin extract. 1 Houron C, Ciocan D, Trainel N, MercierNom F, Hugot C, Spatz M, Perlemuter G, Cassard AM.

Former coaches talk 2006 allSCV girls hoops CIF final Mason Nesbitt Hart girls basketball celebrates its CIF title win in 2006. Signal file photo Its been 11 years since Hart and Canyon faced off in the first CIFSouthern Section final to feature two Santa Clarita Valley girls basketball teams, and the games two coaches have long since moved on. Dave Munroe, Harts coach from 1989 to 2007, is retired and lives in Denver. Stan Delus, Canyons head man from 2004 to 2008, is an assistant girls varsity coach at Etiwanda High in Rancho Cucamonga. Time and space havent altered either mans memory of the 2006 Division 1A final. They both agree Taylor Lilleys halfcourt shot to beat the firstquarter buzzer changed the games direction. MORE Mason Nesbitt CanyonValencia was matchup we all wanted With Canyon and Valencia set to play Saturday at 1 p.m. in the Division 1AA title game at Honda Center in Anaheim, The Signal asked Munroe and Delus about the Indians 5437 victory all those years ago and about what this years finali

sts can expect in the latest crosstown showdown. First, the halfcourt shot heard round the Pyramid. The Indians entered the 2006 final at Long Beachs Pyramid as the clear favorite. It was Harts fourth division final in five years, and the Indians were the brackets No. 4 seed. Canyon, on the other hand, had gone 55 in Foothill League play and staged a mad series of upsets just for a shot at the 26win Indians. Still, the Cowboys didnt back down. We were confident, Delus said by phone Wednesday. It was a battle of wills and it was a good game early. In fact, with just seconds left in the first quarter, Canyon led 95. Then Lilley electrified Harts fan base. Dave Munroe and his team after winning the CIF title in 2006. Signal file photo She caught an inbounds pass, took a couple dribbles and let the ball fly just shy of half court. Munroe, frustrated with his teams play, had turned his back, already focused on fixing things for the second quarter. He heard the crowd and he heard his daughter, Jenny, who was sittin

g close by. Taylor just hit a halfcourt shot, Munroe recalls her saying. That shot catapulted us. Oppositely That deflated us a little bit, Delus said. It sparked a 140 run for Hart, which built a lead it never lost. Lilley, who went on to star at the University of Oregon and become the first SCV prep player to compete in the WNBA, finished with a gamehigh 19 points. They had a veteran ball club, Delus said, and one of the best shooters in the country in Taylor Lilley. Canyon, not unlike this years Cowboys, had the advantage in the paint, boasting 6foot4 Cheryl Stevens and 6footer Brittany Thomas. A game between two rival teams, though, Delus said, doesnt ultimately come down to strategy. Its that thing where Xs and Os are really out the window, he said, because you know each other so well. Its pretty much who wants it the most, who makes the slight adjustments in crucial moments of the game. It comes down to sure desire between the players. if youve gotten that far, you have a darn good team, so relax. Dave

Munroe, Former Hart coach Valencia, I believe has a good starting five thats been together for awhile, where Canyon has two good post players, solid guards, some veterans and some young players. Delus believes that Canyon carries some momentum after beating Valencia by 16 in their most recent meeting on Feb. 3 Valencia won the first two matchups of the season by a combined three points, but he said its not something Valencia cant get past. Valencia does have a veteran ball club who can overcome that and continue their own momentum, he said . Delus doesnt personally know Canyon coach Jessica Haayer, but based on her leading Canyon to the Division 2AA final last year and a return trip in 2017, he said she should stick to whats been working. Munroes advice was similar for Valencia coach Jerry Mike, who served as Munroes assistant during the 19891990 season when the Indians won the Division 5A title. You have to have fun, said Munroe, who coached in five CIF title games, winning two. Youre going to be nervous, t

he girls are going to be nervous. There might be some uncharacteristic errors you have to play through. But, if youve gotten that far, you have a darn good team, so relax, go out there and do what you do. Mason Nesbitt is The Santa Clarita Valley Signal's Sports Editor.

New Research on The Importance of a Consistent Bedtime Click here for other posts on sleep and children. REPOST FROM THE WALL STREET JOURNAL httponline.wsj.comarticleSB10001424127887323971204578630342181106844.htmlprintMode July 30, 2013, 444 a.m. ET New Study Shows Why You Should Get the Kids to Bed on Time Going to bed at a regular time every night could give your childs brain a boost, recent research shows. By Samantha Reddy A large study published in June found that young children with an irregular bed time fared worse on cognitive tests several years later. Sumathi Reddy explains on Lunch Break. Photo Getty Images. Going to bed at the same time every night could give your childs brain a boost, a recent study found. Researchers at University College London found that when 3yearolds have a regular bedtime they perform better on cognitive tests administered at age 7 than children whose bedtimes werent consistent. The findings represent a new twist on an expanding body of research showing that inadequate sle

ep in children and adolescents hurts academic performance and overall health. The latest study considered other factors that can influence bedtime and cognitive development, such as kids skipping breakfast or having a television in their bedroom. After accounting for these, the study found that going to bed very early or very late didnt affect cognitive performance, so long as the bedtime was consistent. The surprising thing was the later bedtimes werent significantly affecting childrens test scores once we took other factors into account, said Amanda Sacker, director of the International Center for Lifecourse Studies in Society and Health at University College London and a coauthor of the study. I think the message for parents ismaybe a regular bedtime even slightly later is advisable. The researchers suggested that having inconsistent bedtimes may hurt a childs cognitive development by disrupting circadian rhythms. It also might result in sleep deprivation and therefore affect brain plasticitychanges in the

synapses and neural pathwaysat critical ages of brain development. Sleep experts often focus largely on how much sleep children get. While that is important, we tend to not pay as much attention to this issue of circadian disruption, said Judith Owens, director of sleep medicine at Childrens National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., who wasnt involved with the study. Insufficient sleep and irregular bedtimes may each affect cognitive development through different mechanisms, Dr. Owens said. The kid who has both problems may beat even higher risk for these cognitive impairments, she said. The study, published online in July in the Journal of Epidemiology Community Health, examined data on bedtimes and cognitive scores for 11,178 children. The children were participants in the U.K.s Millennium Cohort Study, a nationally representative longterm study of infants born between 2000 and 2002. Mothers were asked about their childrens bedtimes at 3, 5 and 7 years of age. Nearly 20 of the 3yearolds didnt have a re

gular bedtime. That figure dropped to 9.1 at age 5 and 8.2 at age 7. Mothers were also asked about socioeconomic and demographic characteristics and family routines. When the children were 7 years old, they received cognitive assessments in reading, math and spatial abilities. The poorest test scores were recorded by children who went to bed very early or very late, and by those who had inconsistent bedtimes, said Dr. Sacker. But once other factors in the home were taken into account only the inconsistent bedtime was associated with lower scores, she said. A consistent pattern of sleep behavior mattered. Those who had irregular bedtimes at all three ages had significantly poorer scores than those who had regular bedtimes, Dr. Sacker said. This was especially true for girls who didnt establish consistent bedtimes between 3 and 7 years old. Yvonne Kelly, a coauthor of the study and a professor in the department of epidemiology and public health at University College London, said the researchers arent sure why g

irls seemed to be more affected. She noted that the difference in scores between these groups of girls and boys wasnt statistically significant for the reading and spatial tests, but it was for the math test. I dont think for one moment that boys are immune to these things and girls are more affected, Dr. Kelly said. The researchers didnt have data on the total number of hours children slept overnight because mothers werent asked about what time the children woke up. In general schoolage kidskindergarten through eighthgradeshould be getting about 10 hours of sleep, while 3 and 4yearolds might need 11 to 13 hours, including daytime naps, said Shalini Paruthi, director of the pediatric sleep and research center at SSM Cardinal Glennon Childrens Medical Center at Saint Louis University. Dr. Paruthi said the good news from the study is that the majority of the children went to bed at a consistent time, reinforcing advice from sleep specialists. The younger the child is, the better it is to get into the habit of a

regular bedtime, said Dr. Paruthi, who wasnt affiliated with the study. She recommends a 15minute, prebedtime routine to help the brain transition from a more alert to a quiet state. And in order to keep the bodys internal clock in sync with the brain, bedtimes on weekends and in the summer should only stray from the normal time by an hour or less, Dr. Paruthi said. The internal clock in the brain and the body like to have consistency every day, she said.

The KetuvimYeshua is There! Part XXIV We have been journeying through the Old Testament to find Jesus. We have done just that through His name, Yeshua "salvation" we see how Jesus is a tender whisper throughout the Old Testament when the word yeshua is used to express salvation and deliverance. If God implements the completion of His salvation plan with His Son, then you would not expect Jesus to just show up in the first century. He would have been present throughout the unfolding of His Father's plan over the centuries as God chose His people and demonstrated His mercy and justice in the Jews and through the Jews. Satan was cast out of heaven due to his overweening pride; since then, he has never cease to hound God's children. He has been especially merciless to the Jewish people. Satan has never had a shortage of willing human participants to join him in his slaughter campaign. My deep respect for the Jewish people comes from their neverending search for meaning. Instead of viewing God as capricious, foult

empered and unruly just ask the Greeks and the Mesopotamians about their gods!, they sought Him and He sought them. They then sang, wrote and prayed about this God, Yahweh, Adonai, Elohim, Who had revealed Himself to them. They viewed history not as an neverending cycle ask the Greeks but as a progression, with God as their Good Shepherd leading them on. The finest king, whose golden rule of Israel also echoed of the Messiah to come, was David. Despite all of his faults and sins, God loved Him and revealed Himself to him. Let me draw an analogy here. Sometimes I see God as the night sky in the mountains. Our sky right now is clear, black and the nights are so cold that the stars barely twinkle. If I get out of my car, or all the lights have been running in the house, I look up and don't see many stars. My eyes are not acclimated to the dim light of a deep winter night in Idaho. I don't stand outside and get acclimated, for it's 15 or 20 degrees outside. But last night, I turned all of the lights in the house

off, and stood, looking outside my dining room window. The stars slowly came into view as my eyes adjusted. I wanted to go outside and see the Milky Way, but it was too cold. Whether I am looking up at the night sky or not, whether I am inside or outside, whether I see a few stars or bear the cold and stand outside long enough for all of them come into view, the night sky is still there. It displays its beauty whether I am there or not. I can stand in awestruck wonder at its beauty or I can go to bed. This is the beauty of the relationship between the Jewish people and God. His beauty was there for them to enjoy, be awestruck by and amazed. Or when they weren't interested, for the burden of the Covenant had become too great for them, and they spiritually went to bed, God was still there, year after year, generation after generation. He never stopped loving them. He never stops loving us. But He whispers. He never shouts. He guides. He never pushes. He coaxes, never compels. He loves, never manipulates. That i

s why the Old Testament and His working with His people is so lovely to read and behold the events that unfold. He is faithful to His promises and to us The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, says my soul, therefore I will hope in him. The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. Lam. 32226 This was written after the destruction of Jerusalem and Judah. Even in the midst of utter heartbreak, the Jews gave meaning to the chaos they had witnessed. Let us close our journey with a celebration of where Jesus' name is heard in the verb, yesha, or is a noun, yeshua, echoing in the Ketuvim "Writings", that section of the Old Testament that includes the Psalms. David authored many of the Psalms and he gloried in his Lord. Let us always do the same. In these troubling times, the Word of God Jesus is needed

more than ever! Oh, that yeshua for Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD restores his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad! Ps. 147 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my yesha, my stronghold. Ps. 182 We will rejoice in thy yeshua, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners the LORD fulfil all thy petitions. Ps. 205 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me for thou art the God of my yesha; on thee do I wait all the day. Ps. 255 The LORD is my light and my yeshawhom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my lifeof whom shall I be afraid? Ps. 271 But God is my King from long ago; he brings yeshua on the earth. Ps. 7412 Sing to the LORD, praise his name; proclaim his yeshua day after day. Ps. 962 The LORD has made known His yeshua; He has revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations. He has remembered His lovingkindness and His faithfulness to the house of Israel; All the ends of the earth have

seen the yeshua of our God. Ps. 9823 I will clothe her priests with yesha, and her faithful people will ever sing for joy. Ps. 13216 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my yeshua, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. Ps. 1407 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people he will beautify the meek with yeshua. Ps. 1494 Amen. Even so come, Lord Jesus. Is the God of the Old Testament Harsh? Part XXXIII In our search of the Old Testament, to find Yeshua, we have come to the end of the Neviim "Prophets" with this post. I have been so enriched as I journey with you on this. I didn't know where it would take us, but my prayer is that your faith has been enriched as well! We will journey through the Ketuvim "Writings" next. It is significant that Jesus quoted from all three divisions Torah, Neviim, Ketuvim of the Old Testamentthe only Bible that He had. He didn't quote from every book but quoting from each division is representative of the whole. It grieves me when Christians make statements such as, "The God of

the Old Testament is harsh, but the God of the New Testament is loving and kind." What? The God of the Old Testament is the Father of Jesus, and Jesus Himself. This sentiment shows a woefully inadequate understanding of the Old Testament and of God Himself. If anything, we are the harsh ones, with murder being the first act once our parents left the Garden. Brother killing brother, no less. The OT chronicles rape, murder, manipulation, incest, child sacrifice and unethical warfare...all done by us. Perhaps it's easier to focus on God's reactions to our sin than to focus on why He reacted the way He did. Yes, to our modern sensibilities, slaughtering the Canaanites seems harsh and unfair; but they engaged in child sacrifice and sexual immortality. Just because our reaction to sin is blunted should in no way lessen God's response. Raining down sulphur and fire onto Sodom and Gommorah seems harsh; but what about the negotiation between Abraham and the angel for its salvation if even one righteous person could be

found? This was a town where citizens were eager to gang rape guests, a clear violation of hospitality and morality. We are angry about prisoner rape in our penal system and want justice for the victims, yet we label God harsh when He dispenses justice. As I read the OT in the light of Jesus' shadowy presence, I see every effort being made to redeem mankind. Our species could have had a very short stay on this planet after our first parents rebelled. God could have seen them right back into the dust, then and there. But He covered their naked bodies with the skin of an innocent animal, and sent them out into a world where the seasons would allow for food to be cultivated and they would survive. Look at all the covenants made between God and His people. Clearly stated agreements where God will be present and providing if His children continue to be obedient are strongly affirmed throughout the OT. His children violated the agreements constantly, but even in the midst of punishment, He preserved His children a

nd He restored them to their land and to their lives. Why? Not because the God of the OT is vengeful and harsh but because He loves us. His own Son is the very embodiment of that redemptive desire that God possesses for His children. Let's look at the final three verses in the Neviim that speak loudly to God's desire to redeem His people and how His Son is named in that very desire. Micah 779 declares "Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation yesha my God will hear me. Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me. I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness." If God is as harsh as many Christians claim, then how could Micah have such assurance? It is because of God's character. Micah bases his confidence not on what he sees but Who he is kee

ping his eyes on. God's character is one of justice and mercy. Micah knows that salvation is coming because while God will punish sin, He loves His people enough to withdraw His hand when enough justice has been dispensed. Because God loves His people with an everlasting love, punishment itself is temporary. Jesus, Yeshua, when He came, demonstrated that same principle. Because He bore the sins of mankind, His Father's judgement was deep and severe; but even death could not hold Jesus down. He arose, gloriously restored and ascended into the Father's arms. So, even though the penalty for sin was death, God in His love allowed His Son to pay the price and set us free. In Habakkuk 313, the prophet declares "Thou wentest forth for the salvation yesha of thy people, even for salvation yesha with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck." KJV In the NIV, the meaning of this verse is a bit clearer "You came out to deliver your people, to sav

e your anointed one. You crushed the leader of the land of wickedness, you stripped him from head to foot." God saves His people, pure and simple. Habakkuk saw God come down and take out the enemies of His people and save the Davidic king "the anointed one". Here I see two references to the Messiah and how God wants to save and preserve His people, despite the fearsome armies that descend upon His people One is that salvation is from God Himself. Secondly, He has not forgotten to preserve the Davidic line through which Yeshua the ultimate Deliverer and King will come. Charles Swindoll's Insight for Living Ministries webpage puts it beautifully "Habakkuks prophecy was directed to a world that, through the eyes of Gods people, must have seemed on the edge of disaster. Even when the northern kingdom had been destroyed in 722 BC, Gods people remained in Judah. However, with another powerful foreign army on the rampage, faithful people like Habakkuk were wondering what God was doing. Hadnt He given the land to His

people? Would He now take it away? Habakkuks prayer of faith for the remainder of Gods people in the face of such destruction still stands today as a remarkable witness of true faith and undying hope." httpswww.insight.orgresourcesbibletheminorprophetshabakkuk So, in the midst of evil and wondering where God is, Jesus' name echoes in the verse. Finally, the day of the Lord's Anointedthe ultimate Davidic king, the Messiahwill come. Zechariah 99 proclaims "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem behold, thy King cometh unto thee he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass." Jesus' ride into Jerusalem, a week before His death, is rich with meaning. In fact, He sent His disciples to obtain that foal, knowing because of the OT, it would be there, waiting for Him. Yeshua brought salvation, is salvation and fulfills God's redemptive plan. He came humbly to His people, offering grace and mercy. But He will come again to dispense just

ice. His work is being done, but He will not endure the cries of victims and the laughter of the evil ones forever. Harsh? No. Just...just.

Radical Media Rebellious Communication and Soc... This is an entirely new edition of the authors 1984 study originally published by South End Press of radical media and movements. The first and second sections are original to this new edition. The first section explores social and cultural theory in order to argue that radical media should be a central part of our understanding of media in history. The second section weaves an historical and international tapestry of radical media to illustrate their centrality and diversity, from dance and graffiti to video and the internet and from satirical prints and street theatre to culturejamming, subversive song, performance art and underground radio. The section also includes consideration of ultrarightist media as a key contrast case. The books third section provides detailed case studies of the antifascist media explosion of 197475 in Portugal, Italys longrunning radical media, radio and access video in the USA, and illegal media in the dissolution of the former So

Cronulla. Bikini. Mosque and in Eugenes Ashes. All I want for Crassmas is a Satanic, Hollywood Nazi Thats SIR Bono Bloody Bono First Bob, now Tony Bliars other mate Bono Bloody Bono has got the gong. Well, kinda. According to the bands website, As Bono is Irish he is not entitled to the Sir title, as a British national would be. As Bono is a twat, hes accepted it anyway After all, the Brits may not have done a whole lot for Ireland, but Britains done a lot for U2. Honorary knighthood for U2s Bono U2 frontman Bono is being awarded an honorary knighthood by the Queen, the British Embassy in Dublin has said. The singer, whose real name is Paul Hewson, has been given the honour for his services to the music industry and for his humanitarian work, it said. Prime Minister Tony Blair congratulated him, telling the singer in a letter You have tirelessly used your voice to speak up for Africa. The 46yearold will receive the honour sic in Dublin early in the new year. British ambassador David Reddaway will conduct t

he ceremony This entry was posted in !nataS, Music. Bookmark the permalink. 5 Responses to Thats SIR Bono Bloody Bono Dr. KC O'Dunn says To come to understand my outrage at U2 front man Bono accepting a knighthood from the queen of England I had to look at what I know. England calls herself the United Kingdom these days. It sounds better than the English Empire. Empire got a bad rap in the Star Wars trilogy. England has killed a great many people in her history, she has looted a great many cultures and destroyed many belief systems that she deemed to be inferior to her own. The United States likes to tout itself foremost as a place of religious freedom in reaction to English repression, but in reality England miscalculated her own sons when it came to the Americas. England had a wonderful formula to maintain control over inferior people but her own citizens, when left without proper supervision, realized they could just steal the land and franchises awarded by the King. To do this they had to spin their proje

ct to reflect something noble like freedom of religion and no taxation without representation. To sell the grunts and commoners who were doing the work anyway our Founding Fathers crafted two of the most clever pieces of advertising copy every wrought, the Preamble to the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And it worked to gain the support of the masses, the same ones who do the soldering now. This shows the relationship that the United States has with the United Kingdom. Somehow the word United makes everything OK. They issue from the same blood and philosophy. If you are having a problem with this look at the English occupation of India 300 years and how the US took out the Native Americans; the same techniques, same, same. Englands belief that it had rights over the world came from the belief that the English King was chosen by God. Yes, look at the Royal Family and ponder the greatness of God and consider this belief system. The English King decided that the Holy Bible was not to his liking so he had

it translated to his designs and to this day the Protestant world openly buys that the King James Version of the Holy Bible is a superior product because it omits the Greek works, and restructures facts. So this has only peripheral implications on my boil concerning the shortsightedness of Bono, who has a last name. One of those names that is dropped in conversation by those who think they are in his inner circle, much like those who pretend to know Hulk Hogans real name is Terry something or other. Bono is arguably the highest profile Irishman in the world, he has made his mark on the rock scene and in the earliest moments of the Classic Rock radio format U2 was a classic artist although no radio in North America played much of his music before 1989. The FOX in Norfolk Va. was programmed by Bob Chrysler and U2 was one of his power rotators in 1989. Greg Mull brought classic rock station Thunder on line in the Tampa Market in the mid90s and again U2 was right there with the Beatles etc. Bono has a lot of pre

sence, like Sting, except that Sting is from Australia and therefore not a high profile Irishman. Historically the Irish have had their teeth kicked in by the English at every turn. The English sold Irish bachelors into slavery in Barbados and Jamaica and other Islands in the Caribe. England allowed a million Irish men, women and children to starve whilst all the food on the island was exported the official spin on what has become known as the Great Shame, is that it was caused by a potato famine. True, there is a blight that takes the potatoes from time to time but potatoes were the only crop lost the potato crop was the only food the English lords allowed the Irish to have oh yeah, in their own country the Irish could not own property. The English owned the land and were happy to send every bachelor they could off the island so that they could have unfettered control of the place. What the English overlooked when they culled two million people from the countryside through death or deportation, was that th

e Irish are a tight people. Folk who have little Irish blood claim the mystical beauty of their heritage. The Irish who came to North America and the United States in particular were refused work and held down until they realized that they could put themselves in positions of government. Soon the Irish controlled things like New York City and Boston and Chicago! Irish Americans sent their kids to good Catholic schools and university and insisted on reverence to no one but God. The United States was custom made for the Irish. And the Irish remembered the ugly crimes committed against their kind, the racist acts of ethnic cleansing and responded like good Americans do, they contributed to a foundation that might make the wrong right. After all they were now living in a country that once looked at England as an evil empire of colonial carnage. In spite of the success of IrishAmericans and the establishment of the Irish Republic there is still the ache that comes from knowing that your Grand Fathers and Uncles an

d Cousins have been starved, tortured and murdered by the English. The English were successful in making the push for unification of the Northern Counties a matter of religion. I know there is a scholar about to load me up with volumes of tripe on how the Catholics acted out of turn. Just like the Palestinians act out of turn in their occupied country Once upon a time all the Irish in the North were Irish; not now. The hope for Home Rule was hinged on the disarming of the Irish Republican Army; they have surrendered their weapons, still no deal. This reminds me of the conditions the US threw at the Native American Nations during westward expansion. The Bush administration has been able to get that spineless stooge Tony Blair to make any sort of dissidence a crime against the war on terror. Tony was Bill Clintons boy and now George Ws He could go for a trifecta except that he is getting out of office. This rape of political expression kills even peaceful means to an end to English rule in the North. A shouting

protest will result in being put on countless lists and your image and life statistics shared with every nation on earth. This has been a long trip to this point, by accepting this hollow knighthood from a criminal government Bono is honoring the English Establishment. His biggest hit, Bloody Sunday, once honored the deaths of 14 innocent Irish at the hands of elite English soldiers in 1972. Bonos hypocrisy in this is hysterical. Tony Blair is right beside him feeding him the lie that there will be money for AIDS control and education in Africa. Piss! Bono is a sellout. He could have righteously rejected this meaningless ovation and stood for his countrymen and those who gave their lives so that he could grow up in a free Ireland. Those Killed on Bloody Sunday John Jackie Duddy 17 years Patrick Joseph Doherty 31 years Bernard McGuigan 41 years Hugh Pious Gilmore 17 years Kevin McElhinney 17 years Michael G.

McKinney 27 years John Johnston 59 years It strikes me that the Army ran amok that day and shot without thinking what they were doing. They were shooting innocent people. These people may have been taking part in a march that was banned but that does not justify the troops coming in and firing live rounds indiscriminately. I would say without hesitation that it was sheer, unadulterated murder. The official coroner for the City of DerryLondonderry, retired British army Major Hubert ONeill, issued the above statement on August 21, 1973; at the completion of the inquest into the people killed. There has never been a conviction. Cheers, Bono. Wow. Thats a long comment! Briefly, in response Im somewhat familiar with the history of British imperialism in Ireland, and agree that the states impositions have resulted in untold carnage including the socalled Great Potato Famine for these unfortunate subjects of the Crown. Indeed, a num

ber of my own ancestors were exiled from Ireland for precisely these reasons. However, I think that reducing this issue to one based on nationality blood is mistaken. In other words, while the ideology and practice of the nation especially in terms of its role in stateformation is crucial to understanding history especially AngloIrish relations to put it crudely, theres nothing inherently English in oppression, any more than theres something inherently Irish in resisting it. Thus if some Folk who have little Irish blood claim the mystical beauty of this heritage, and do so on the basis of their finding inspiration in tales of Irish rebellion and resistance, good luck to them. But I reject any philosophy of history based on such premisses. For example the Irish exiles who arrived in Australia in the 18th and 19th centuries found themselves pitted against the indigenous population and took part in their attempted genocide. Such are the ironies of history. The story of the English, like the story of any othe

r people, is a complex one. The outward projection of power that became known as the British Empire was necessarily based on a previous victory over an internal enemy an unruly multitude of peasants and workers the English masses. Further, this victory is not a singular historical event, but one which takes place over and over and over again in contemporary terms, it means the reproduction of everyday life under capitalism. See, for example, Fredy Perlman 1969 httpwww.spunk.orgtextswritersperlmansp001702repro.html On the British occupation of India and the genocide of Native Americans no, I disagree. Unlike North America the continental United States etc., the British exercised a form of dominion based on commerce and military conquest, and did not seek the extermination of the Indian peoples. Rather and this was the key to its success the English strategy was based on divideandrule. It actively sought the collaboration of ruling powers in the many states and territories that compose contemporary India P

akistan Bangladesh, and the sum total of its colonies never exceeded a few hundred thousand people, ruling over many hundreds of millions of natives, some of whom were inducted into the British Army and which played a key role in controlling the rest of the population. The British Raj was also able to take advantage of a society that was already riven by caste, and to cement these class divisions in the interest of its own imperialist ambitions. In North America, the formation of the United States, on the other hand, was based on the neartotal extermination of the indigenous populations, whether through direct acts of mass murder, or indirectly through disease, starvation or, more simply, dispossession of land. Same for Australia. A few more points Sting is English, not Australian. The story of the Irish in the US is explored in Noel Ignatievs controversial ooer! How the Irish Became White Routledge, 1995. Publishers Weekly In the first half of the 19th century, some three million Irish emigrated to America,

trading a ruling elite of AngloIrish Anglicans for one of WASPs. The Irish immigrants were selfevidently not AngloSaxon; most were not Protestant; and, as far as many of the nativists were concerned, they werent white, either. Just how, in the years surrounding the Civil War, the Irish evolved from an oppressed, unwelcome social class to become part of a white racial class is the focus of Harvard lecturer Ignatievs wellresearched, intriguing although haphazardly structured book. By midcentury, Irish voting solidarity gave them political power, a power augmented by the brute force of groups descended from the Molly Maguires. With help, the Irish pushed blacks out of the lowerclass jobs and neighborhoods they had originally shared. And though many Irish had been oppressed by the Penal Laws, they opposed abolition even when Daniel OConnell, the Liberator, threatened that IrishAmericans who countenanced slavery would be recognized as Irishmen no longer. The books structure lacks cohesion chapters zigzag chronol

ogically and geographically, and Ignatievs writing is thick with redundancies and overlong digressions. But for the careful reader, he offers much to think about and an important perspective on the American history of race and class. You can read an interview with Ignatiev here httpwww.zmag.orgzmagarticlesjan97postel.htm Point is, what you regard as a success the establishment of the Irish as a political power within the US may actually be regarded as a failure on other counts. And yeah, Bonos a multimillionaire, taxcheating, annoying, hypocritical, Sir Dick. ndy. If I was a friend of Bonos, then I would imagine his response would read like this Most people in the modern world are aware of the previous 40,000 years of historical cockups When will progressive people be congratulated for standing in the firing line of Neanderthals. You see, Ill explain this really simply. If we consider the African American Revolution Remember? Who was shot? Ah, coming back to you? A man lost his life defending change Humans

are dumb! We are forced to swallow history as an excuse for continued ridiculous behaviour, and then we whinge when we dont get anywhere GO BONO! You see, oh slow ones, he doesnt care what you think, because he is standing there accepting an award for stepping on square heads and believe it or not, there are people who are progressive and there are those who cant. My suggestion to you is, try to project yourself forward, and you WILL only receive Greatness Merry Xmas twit.

HomeInvestingWarburton on Theories of Monetary Control and the Fed Warburton on Theories of Monetary Control and the Fed In December 1946, Clark Warburton published an article in the Political Science Quarterly titled, Monetary Control under the Federal Reserve Act, which was reprinted in chapter 14 of his landmark book, Depression, Inflation, and Monetary Policy 1966. He argues that the Federal Reserves failure to prevent the Great Depression was a result, in part, of the inadequacy of the monetary theory underlying the Federal Reserve Act and, in part, of the failure to carry out in practice the theory which was embodied in the Act Warburton, 1966 301; all page numbers refer to his book. In particular, if the Fed had taken into account the importance of monetary deficiency, relative to the demand for money, the Great Depression and banking crisis could have been avoided. By focusing on preventing speculation, rather than thinking in terms of a suitable quantity of money to provide for normal production and

price stability, the Fed was led to restrict money growth rather than expand it to maintain total spending and income on a level growth path. Although the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was intended to adhere to what Warburton called the convertibility theory of monetary control, the Fed subsequently drifted away from that theory. Nor did the Fed ever fully embrace what Warburton called the responsibility theory of monetary control. Hence, he concluded Monetary law in the United States is ambiguous and chaotic, does not contain a suitable principle for the exercise of the monetary power held by the Federal Reserve System, and has caused confusion in the development of Federal Reserve policy 316; page numbers refer to the 1966 reprint. Warburtons concern with the ambiguity of U.S. monetary law may have been expressed more than 75 years ago, but it is still relevant today. As Scott Sumner recently pointed out The current illdefined dual mandate calling for maximum employment and price stability allows each side of

the political divide to latch onto its preferred policy indicator and to argue that money is either too easy or too tight. This polarization has been especially pronounced during the Great Recession. A look back at Warburtons thoughts on monetary control and the Fed can shine a light on the need for sound theory and credible institutions that help reduce uncertainty and anchor expectations regarding longrun price stability. General Theories of Monetary Control Warburton uses the term monetary control to mean the set of devices designed to provide the nation with a suitable quantity of money 291, which he viewed as a necessary condition for maintenance of normal production 315 fn 30. In studying U.S. monetary history, from the late 1840s to the end of World War 2, Warburton recognized two major theories of monetary control. The first of those theories rested on having a convertible currency and the institutions needed to support it, especially a credible promise to redeem currency in specie. The second theory

was applicable to a fiat money regime and required that the monetary authority limit the quantity of money to avoid inflation while providing a suitable quantity of money to maintain normal production. The Convertibility Theory Maintenance of a gold standard did not require a central bank. What it did require was trust in the principle of convertibilityboth convertibility of one kind of money into another e.g., bank deposits into currency and, especially, the direct or indirect convertibility of all forms of money into gold Warburton, 292. The Responsibility Theory This theory holds that the monetary authority should determine the suitable quantity of money that would ensure longrun price stability and normal production, and be held accountable for doing so. Warburton presumes that some agency of the federal government would be given responsibility for monetary control, because Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution gives Congress the power to regulate the value of money Warburton, 292. Of course, money, a

t the time the Constitution was drafted, referred to specie, not paper currency. Monetary Control under the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 In passing the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, Congress adhered to the convertibility theory of monetary control. According to Warburton 293 The Federal Reserve Act was drawn in terms of the convertibility theory. The Act contained no provision giving the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Reserve banks, either specifically or by reasonably clear inference, responsibility for monetary control in the sense of making it the duty of any officials in the system to estimate the most suitable quantity of money for the use of the nation and to maintain the quantity of money in accord with that estimate of need. Monetary reforms always stem from shortcomings in the existing system. The lack of an elastic currencythat is, one that responds quickly to changes in the demand for moneywas an important reason for establishing the Federal Reserve System. As Warburton 293 put it The monetary

problem to which the agitation for a sound currency was directed was the establishment of a set of conditions under which the total quantity of money circulating media, and the division of this quantity between bank deposits and pocket currency, would fluctuate in accordance with the decisions of individuals and business enterprises respecting the amount and kind of cash which they needed for personal and business use. It was thought that this outcomenamely, that the total quantity of circulating media and the quantity of pocket currency would be neither inadequate nor excessivewould best be achieved if the following conditions were satisfied 1 Convertibility of one kind of money into another is assured; 2 The standard form of money is directly convertible or redeemable, and . . . all forms of money are indirectly convertible into some highly prized durable commodity, preferably gold; and 3 The assets of banks with deposit liabilities or circulating notes serving as money are predominantly shortterm loans bas

ed on commodities in the course of production or marketing Warburton, 29394. The Fed was created to fulfill those conditions. However, as Warburton 294 notes, the Federal Reserve Board and Reserve banks were not given full responsibility either for monetary convertibility or for the limitation of bank assets to the approved types, since existing arrangements deemed satisfactory were not disturbed. Meanwhile, responsibility for issuing gold and silver certificates, as well as minor coins, rested with the Treasury, as did maintaining the convertibility of circulating notes and coins into gold. The Federal Reserve Act did provide for the issuance of Federal Reserve notes, thus addressing the problem of an inelastic currency. However, confusion of the Fed over loan control versus monetary control and reliance on the real bills doctrinean unsound principle for monetary control see Humphrey and Timberlakemeant that the problem of matching the total quantity of money circulating media, irrespective of its form, to t

he changing needs of business remained unresolved Warburton, 296. Eventually, by ignoring the importance of erratic money as the major cause of business cycles, the Fed was misled into engineering the Great Depression by allowing the money supply to shrink by onethird between 1929 and 1933. Warburton understood this error well before Milton Friedman and Anna J. Schwartz published their classic treatise, A Monetary History of the United States, in 1963. Monetary Control versus Loan Control Warburton 298 carefully defines the key difference between monetary and loan controlnamely, Monetary control relates to the creation of money, loan control to the borrowing of money already in existence. More generally Monetary control relates to the use of credit instruments as a medium of exchange, and the various facets of monetary control pertain almost exclusively to action respecting banks of deposit or the central banking system. Loan control pertains to the adequacy with which financial institutions meet the loan nee

ds of various segments of the economy. The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 did not provide for centralized openmarket operations. It was not until the passage of the Banking Act of 1933 that the Federal Reserve Act was amended to establish an Open Market Committee. Warburton 300 argues that the language used to guide the conduct of the Committee was ambiguous. It reflected the flawed real bills doctrine and diverted attention away from the earlier dynamic theory of moneyalso known as the theory of monetary disequilibrium see Warburton 1966 2829 for the basic tenets of that theory; also Dorn. The vagueness of Section 8 of the Banking Act, which added Section 12A to the Federal Reserve Act as a guide for conducting openmarket operations, is evident The time, character and volume of all purchases and sales of paper . . . eligible for openmarket operations shall be governed with a view to accommodating commerce and business and with regard to their bearing upon the general credit situation of the country. The Failure

of the Fed In blaming the failure of the Fed on inadequacy of theory and practice, Warburton pointed to the following problems Too close a linkage of monetary expansion and contraction with expansion and contraction of indebtedness. Inadequate appreciation of the asset transfer problem associated with maintenance of monetary convertibility. Lack of clarity and confusion of thought in the use of the word credit. Confusion between the respective roles of quantitative and qualitative guides to central bank action. Subservience of monetary policy to government borrowing policy. Attempts to modify the theory of monetary control underlying the Federal Reserve Act. Monetary theory of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Under 1, Federal Reserve authorities failed to recognize the . . . distinction between debt policy and monetary policy. They fostered far too close a linkage of monetary expansion and contraction with changes in the intensity of demand for loans 302. Under 2, the Federal Reserve Act

of 1913 erred in allowing the assets underlying issues of the two chief forms of moneydeposits and circulating notesto be segregated and held by separate institutions 302. More importantly, the Feds adherence to the real bills doctrine led the Board to focus on the problem of meeting apparent loan needs of business enterprises rather than on the problem of maintaining monetary convertibility. So long as interest rates were low, the Board believed it had no responsibility for providing additional reserves to member banks 304. Under 3, Warburton argued that Fed policy was greatly hampered by ambiguous use of the word credit, particularly in such phrases as credit control and credit policy. Neither of the phrases . . . nor any similar phrase, appears in the original Federal Reserve Act, but the frequent use of such phrases in official publications . . . is undoubtedly associated with the lack of separation in the Act of powers respecting the cost and availability of loans loan control, on the one hand, and the

maintenance of monetary convertibility monetary control, on the other 305. Under 4, Warburton notes that, although the Fed recognized both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of credit policythat is, the problem of determining both the quantity of credit to extend and its qualitythe Board did not distinguish between the nations need for bank deposits as the chief part of its circulating medium and the needs of business for bank loans 30607. Consequently, The major public consequence of Federal Reserve action in 1928 and 1929 was a stoppage of normal growth of the nations money and initiation of the monetary contraction which eventuated in the great depression and the banking crisis 308. Under 5, Warburton pointed to the fact that, Whenever the federal government wishes to borrow money in large amounts, the Federal Reserve Board ceases to be an independent agency. He blamed that problemnow known as fiscal dominance see Dornon two factors first, the accommodation of borrowers rather than maintenance of a s

uitable quantity of money in the economy; and second, a specific provision of the Federal Reserve Act, Section 10 that, in case of any apparent conflict between the powers of the Board and those of the Secretary of the Treasury, the Board shall exercise such powers under the supervision of the Secretary of the Treasury 309. Under 6, Warburton notes that, The basic character of monetary law embodied in the original Federal Reserve Act has . . . been decisively modified. Gold coinage and its circulation, and redemption of circulating notes in gold, were suspended in 1933 . . . and were permanently prohibited by the Gold Reserve Act of 1934. These changes, together with numerous modifications of the loan powers of Federal Reserve banks and of member banks, constitute a complete abandonment, in law, of the convertibility theory of monetary control 311. However, the failure of the Fed to stick to the convertibility principle was never replaced by adherence to the responsibility theory of monetary control. As Warbu

rton observes, In no legislation has the Board of Governors . . . been given responsibility for monetary control. The Federal Reserve System has never been given the duty, either directly or by reasonably clear inference, of adjusting the quantity of money to the needs of the economy311. Finally, under 7, Warburton turns to the 1943 Board of Governors Report, which stated The facts show clearly that the volume of money does not control the price level, and Usually other things have a greater influence on prices than has the amount of money 313. He goes on to say that, Regarding the central problem of monetary policy, the relation of such policy to economic stability, the Board of Governors concludes that monetary policy has little influence on economic stability, and that the major cause of inadequate use of the countrys economic resources and price fluctuations is variation in the rate of use of moneythat is, changes in the velocity of money 314. Warburton contests the Boards conclusions and argues that his

own statistical work supports orthodox monetary theory prior to World War Inamely, that changes in the general level of prices depend principally upon changes in the quantity of money relative to the need for money, taking into account the productive capacity of the country and the established monetary habits of the population 314. In sum, Warburton 315 presented strong empirical evidence that countered the Feds analysis of banking crises and the Great Depression. By a close examination of the relevant data, he reached the following conclusions 1 The reduction in the rate of use of money associated with the production and sale of goods and services during the Great Depression of the 1930s followed rather than preceded monetary contraction; 2 The worldwide severity of that depression was primarily due to monetary contraction in the United States; 3 Monetary deficiency is the chief factor originating business depressions or amplifying minor recessions into severe depressions; and 4 The monetary deficiency prece

ding each business depression since establishment of the Federal Reserve System1921, 1924, 1927, 193033, and 193738has been produced by Federal Reserve action impinging on the quantity of bank reserves. Warburtons Call for a RulesBased Monetary Regime To avoid the ambiguous and chaotic nature of U.S. monetary law, Warburton advocated following a monetary rule that would keep money growth on a stable path, to avoid both inflation and depression. He recognized that, in certain cases, the velocity of money may initiate business fluctuations, and in that case the money supply should change to offset the change in velocity. However, his research, at the time, showed that the primary cause of business fluctuations was erratic variations in the quantity of money relative to the demand for money. Warburton laid out his thoughts on Rules and Implements for Monetary Policy in the Journal of Finance March 1953, which was reprinted in Depression, Inflation, and Monetary Policy 1966, chapter 18. According to Warburton 196

6, 337 The most appropriate rule of action for the monetary authorities is that of maintaining a rate of growth in the quantity of the circulating medium which will compare with the general rate of growth in the total output of final products under conditions of full employment, with such adjustments as may be needed on account of a observed trend in the rate of use of circulating medium for purchase of final products, b seasonal variations, and c any other conditions which have been demonstrated to require variations from the calculated line of growth in the quantity of money in order to maintain stability of prices of final products. His initial estimate was for a 5 percent annual growth in money for longrun price stability and full employment. However, based on updated statistics and Friedmans work, he later modified the needed growth rate to 4 percent per annum see Warburton 1966, 377, fn 8. Although a money growth rule lost its appeal due to financial innovation and shifts in the money demand function th

e inverse of the velocity of money, one could argue that, if the Fed had committed to a simple monetary rule, then velocity may have been more predictable, and the relation between money, prices, and nominal income may have been more stable. In any event, Warburton was a pioneer in developing a monetary theory of the Great Depression see Bordo and Schwartz and in calling for a rulesbased monetary policy. Today, with inflation at a historic 40year high, and monetary law still illdefined, we can learn from Warburtons early work; in particular, the importance of getting the theory and practice of monetary policy right in order to avoid both inflation and depression.

Alexander, Lloyd Lloyd Alexander 19242007 was a children's book author from Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania. Lloyd Chudley Alexander was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on January 30, 1924. He spent his childhood in the nearby suburb of Drexel Hill and lived there most of his life. Alexander graduated from Upper Darby High School in 1940. His parents would not allow him to be a writer, so he worked for a local bank in Philadelphia. Once he had saved some money, he quit and went to a local college before quitting after one semester. Looking for adventure, he served in the US Army in World War II, which included spending time in Wales to train. The landscape, language, and castles made a great impression and would later become the setting of so many of his books. He served in the army for a time in Paris, before being discharged to attend the University of Paris. At the same time, he met Janine, a beautiful Parisian, whom he married in 1946. Alexander moved back to Drexel Hill with Janine and her daughter Madelin

e. Alexander worked as an advertisement writer, layout artist, cartoonist, and assistant editor while he tried to get his novels published. It took seven years before his first book was published. He spent the following ten years writing for adults before turning to young adult novels. He won the Newbery Honor Medal for The Black Cauldron and the Newbery Medal for The High King . Series and books by Alexander include the Prydain Chronicles, the Westmark Trilogy, the Vesper Holly Adventures, and over twenty other young adult novels, five adult novels, and four French translations. Alexander's other hobbies include music, cats, and drawing. He played the violin and was a devoted fan of Mozart. Alexander died May 17, 2007just two weeks after Janine died.
