Posted by Riz On November - 27 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

Cyber Monday deals, always bring good business to the shoppers. The Cyber Monday practice that got famous among shoppers in the year 2005 has been a success ever since and i believe Cyber Monday deal 2011 will be of no exception.

For readers who do not know what Cyber Monday deals is all about, its nothing but a day of Shopping :) .

The Cyber Monday deal was proposed by Shop.org on 2005 to promote the sales following thanksgiving and black friday. The term Cyber deal was well received by the online and offline shoppers who were going on a spree to buy all the items.

Seeing the success in Business, the shopkeepers started announcing offers and gift coupons for people to create a win-win situation for both consumers and sellers.

This igniting factor, that is to say discounts and gift coupons, encouraged the general users to shop the immediate Monday after thanksgiving.

Thus was created a tradition of shopping the next Monday after thanksgiving, Its been a success for 6 years. So what does the Cyber Monday Deals 2011 promise for the shoppers?

Well, as always, free gift coupons and discounts are waiting for the consumers this Monday with companies such as Best Buy and Amazon trying to rope the shoppers to its premises.

Best Buy also doesn’t show you how much of a discount you’re getting when you put an item in your shopping cart, so it will help if you know the normal selling price of any items you might want to buy.”

US will not surrender its role as Global Power

Posted by Riz On November - 19 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

American Defence Secretary Leon Panetta, has made a public statement, stating US will not surrender its role as a global power.

Since 2008 recession, countries such as China, Russia, Libya, Iran have been calling for a change in International monitory system which is in the control of US. The reason for the call in change, according to the world leaders, is due to the fact that America is doomed and can no longer fulfill its commitments to the world as a global leader.

Not to mention, the high rumor on the very invade of Libya by US is to stop the-then Libyan leader Gaddafi  who was about to change the system of selling Oil on the basis of Dollar currency.

Economic times reports the Defence Secretary Leon Panetta as saying, “As we examine our geographic priorities, it’s important to remember that we can and we will do more than one thing at a time. US security commitments are not zero-sum.

“And even as we enhance our presence in the Pacific, we will not surrender our status as a global power and a global leader,” Panetta said in his remarks at the Halifax International Security Forum in Canada.

“As a country with global interests and responsibilities and with a military with unique global strength and reach, America will remain committed to global security,” Panetta said.

He added, “In particular, we will continue to defend our shared interests in free and open commerce, the rule of law, freedom of movement across the global commons of air and sea and space and cyberspace, which is ultimately the bedrock of our security and our prosperity and that of our allies.”

I wonder what made the defense secretary  defend the US global status all of a sudden. Are they worried that they might lose the crown? Do they already know that they are out of the race?

Only time will tell.

Get Ready for Extreme Climate change

Posted by Riz On November - 19 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

Get ready for Extreme Weather across your cities, this is what the Climate Scientist are telling us.The scientist said to the top politicians, preparations will save lives and money otherwise weather extremes may overwhelm some locations, making some places uninhabitable.

The Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued a new special report on global warming and extreme weather after meeting in Kampala, Uganda. This is the first time the group of scientists has focused on the dangers of extreme weather events.

MSN reports, lead author, Maarten van Aalst, director of the International Red Cross/Red Crescent Climate Centre in the Netherlands, as saying: “We need to be worried.

“And our response needs to anticipate disasters and reduce risk before they happen rather than wait until after they happen and clean up afterward… risk has already increased dramatically.”

The report said “a changing climate leads to changes in the frequency, intensity, spatial extent, duration, and timing of extreme weather and climate events, and can result in unprecedented extreme weather and climate events” and that some of these extreme events are caused by the increase of man-made greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Fellow study lead author, Chris Field of Stanford University, said: “We face many challenges in the future; those include floods, drought, storms, and heatwaves.”

Mr Field said scientists are not quite sure which will be the biggest threat to the world because disasters are weather extremes interacting with economics and where people live and it’s clear that losses from disasters are increasing, and in terms of deaths more than 95% of fatalities from the 1970s to the present have been in developing countries.

The 29-page summary of the full special report, which will be completed in the coming months, said extremes in some unnamed regions at some point in the future could get so bad they may need to be abandoned.

Mr van Aalst added: “Such locations are likely to be in poorer countries but even in some developed northern regions of the world, such as Canada, Russia and Greenland, cities might need to move because of weather extremes and sea level rise from man-made warming.”

Israel might attack Iran without informing US

Posted by Riz On November - 13 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

Israel is all set to wage its war on Iran. This is what the local Israeli Media are fueling up.

Constantly igniting the people of the country and its western allies posing Iran as the single most dangerous nation in the world, is something unacceptable.

How many times did they attack a nation for  ‘No reasons’ at all? After looting its country, they term it was a mistake.

Yep, i am speaking on US who fell for the words of the Israeli leadership, attacked Iraq terming the war as War on Mass Weapons, in the end the former President Bush, came up with the word, “It was a mistake to attack Iraq”!!!

History is all set to repeat itself, i think.

The recent rough confrontation between US and Israel which the west media failed to highlight in their newspapers might interest you users.

Israel refuses to alert Washington, if they are to wage war on Iran.

President Obama, who felt the need of control, urged his trustees to address Israel and gain their word on the matter, might be left with a disappointment hat.

According to smh.com.au,

Officially, his brief was restricted to the Middle East peace process, but the most important part of his mission was a private meeting with Mr Netanyahu and Defence Minister Ehud Barak. Once all but a handful of trusted staff had left the room, Mr Panetta conveyed an urgent message from Mr Obama. The President, Mr Panetta said, wanted an unshakable guarantee that Israel would not carry out a unilateral military strike against Iran’s nuclear installations without first seeking Washington’s clearance.

The two Israelis were notably evasive in their response, according to sources both in Israel and America.

”They did not suggest that military action was being planned or was imminent, but neither did they give any assurances that Israel would first seek Washington’s permission, or even inform the White House in advance that a mission was under way,” one said.

Alarmed by Mr Netanyahu’s noncommittal response, Mr Obama reportedly ordered the US intelligence services to step up monitoring of Israel to glean clues of its intentions.

I am shocked to know US is all set to monitor Israel actions. They never did that in their entire life.

Some say US Government is waking up, i say whats the point in waking up after losing everything. You the Government have lost everything and have robbed your People all their civilian rights!

Where US keeps its nukes?

Posted by Riz On November - 12 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

Nuclear Bombs – a single bomb capable of destroying an entire city or some case an entire country, has been taking a lot of press attention lately.

After what happened in Japan’s nuclear reactor, People are very worried on the possibility of what will happen if a Nuclear bombs falls into their city.

Cause of concern eh?  The concern which saw US destroy, one of its most powerful atomic bomb named B53. But wait a min, are you sure that US actually are fighting the Nuclear? Is US really serious on dismantling the bomb that might kill millions.

The answer would be probably a big N-O.

Yahoo News reports, US currently has more than 5000 atomic bombs, that was prepared during the Cold war period.

The Nuclear  Bomb  is said to have been saved in various part of country and also has been uploaded into its Sub Marine around the World. Now, i get it why the World Countries are afraid to stand up against US brutality.

If they question the US motives, the might end up N-Bombed.

The hair-raising map above, compiled by Mother Jones magazine using data from the Defense Department and nuclear watchdog groups, lets you see just where those warheads are–while also showing civilian nuclear facilities, as well as the far-flung labs and factories that make up the American weapons complex. Our scattered system for making and storing weapons is needlessly expensive and dangerous, watchdog groups have said.

And you can check out Mother Jones’s recent related story on how we’re spending even more on our weapons complex than we did during the Cold War.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “liar” in remarks to US President Barack Obama overheard by journalists.

“I can’t stand him any more, he’s a liar,” Mr Sarkozy said in French.

“You may be sick of him, but me, I have to deal with him every day,” Mr Obama replied.

The exchange at the G20 summit was quoted by a French website, Arret sur Images, and confirmed by other media.

The remarks – during a private conversation – were overheard by a few journalists last week but were not initially reported. However, the reports started leaking later when Israeli media took it to notice so does other French media.

Well, well, well, see who is calling him a liar. Sarkozy? The man who is known for his full submission to Israel and its interest is suddenly standing up towards its master. Sounds fishy.

And Obama saying he has to deal with him everyday.Lol! Seems like a big crazy game to me.

Of my analysis on the West mysterious relationship with Israel, never will they speak against her, nor will they embarrass her. Cause, their wealth, Government, Power is being controlled from Israel.

If  they cannot speak against Israel, Why are they suddenly doing it?

If you ponder on this very question with angry birds circling your head, just think for a minute.

Have you ever heard an incident in History of Earth where the Countries turned down  an Israeli interest? No, not until this recent UN resolution where nearly every other country supported the Palestinian interest and voted in favor of them for a new state.

Things are getting clearer and clearer every passing day.

There is a big big movement going out there to isolate Israel from the World eyes which will appear like Israel is alone in this world with Muslim countries surrounding her threatening her every minute and so.  Which is not so!

It is Israel who is threatening the World and Muslim nations, not the other. The Muslim nations are merely responding to the Israeli attack.

Coming back to Isolation of Israel, think it this way. You got backing of all the West, but suddenly they are not helping you out which is ofcourse a well planned drama portrayed with lead actor  US to bring sympathy towards Israel.

People will think, Oh Poor Israel, no one to help it and West has betrayed it and Muslims are threatening it. So when Israel after this careful drama, comes forward and captures Muslim nations such as Iran, Egypt. People will then wake up from the sleep.

Israel to attack Iran? Are you joking?

Every minute, as we speak, they, the power hungry zionist are pressuring their Government to attack Iran. And what name will they go for the war on Iran?

You know it, common it is a most common West household word.

War on terror? Yes you are nearly there.

War on Mass Nuclear Weapons?  Bingo, you are there.

I reckon, Nuclear Weapons will be the scapegoat word for them to attack Iran as they did with Iraq.

If any  country that is to be attacked for its global role in destruction, then it should be Israel first and then US. But  it is vice versa.

I decided to write the article in more elaborate way, as i am fed up with the Bullshit they come up every other day.

Seems like, God Willing, the Return of  Jesus, Son of Mary, is very near!

Boeing 787 Dreamliner hit by landing problems

Posted by Riz On November - 7 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

Seems like, the carbon composites material particularly designed by Boeing team keeping the safety of its passengers in mind  could not prevent them from stopping a glitch in the landing gear in the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

The inaugural delivery of two Boeing aircraft to ANA underwent  less than 2 weeks ago and now the glitch problem in the landing gear has forced the Pilots to  deploy the landing gear using a manual backup system, after an indicator lamp suggested the wheels were not properly down.

As reported via Yahoo India, “We are not yet sure what the problem was, but we are investigating,” an airline spokesman said, adding that Boeing was also involved in the investigation.

Kyodo news agency linked the problem to a hydraulic valve, but Boeing declined to confirm the cause.

A Boeing spokesman in Europe said: “We are aware of this matter and are on site in Japan with ANA offering whatever assistance they require.”

According to Richard Aboulafia,who is an aerospace analyst at Teal Group, “Teething problems are relatively common for a new jetliner entering service, but the 787 is under a lot of scrutiny due to its difficult development history”

“This glitch shouldn’t have any impact on customer perceptions of the 787, as long as Boeing aggressively pursues its investigation and implements any needed fix,” Aboulafia said.

Well, it seems like the start to the fairy tale story of Boeings 787 dreamliner has met with a landing break.

It took Boeing many years to design the 787 dreamliner. And also, they delayed the delivery of the aircraft for 3 years, just because they wanted to make sure they had the perfect design of aircraft for their customers.

But in reality though, not everything is perfect, Not even Machines!
