Will there be a trade war? Here is an event that may lead to this disastrous outcome. Some analysts think that the US government and China will work out a solution to avoid a trade war. But in a conflict, nothing can be taken for granted. Things can go wrong.

Creating employment in a recession
Read this article. It is a dilemma faced by governments. They have a budget deficit and has to reduce spending by laying off workers. But it is difficult for the workers to find jobs in a recession. The workers will receive unemployment benefits for a short period, but the benefits will run out after a while, and they may still be unemployed.
In a recession, there will not reduced demand for goods and services, as those who are still employed will cut down their own spending. Small businesses will not employ the excess workers. It is difficult for the unemployed workers to start their own business, due to lack of funding, lack of credit and lack of business. It is a vicious cycle.
The solution to a recession is for the government to employ more people, and not to lay them off. These people can be used to provide the public goods and services, that are needed by the population at large, in health, education, security, infrastructure and other useful activities. The government needs the money to pay for these services, and it has to come from taxation of those who are employed and those who are well off.
The people who are employed by the public sector do not need to be paid high wages. They only need to be paid enough to get by. When the economy recovers, they can find better paying jobs in the private sector. In the meantime, they should be kept usefully employed.
The advanced countries are now suffering from the current economic system - low taxation, wide income gap, globalisation, high unemployment and budget deficits. The current system is not sustainable. The leaders need the courage to change the system - but the challenges are really big.

Improve the public transport system
The Minister of Transport, Lui Tuck Yew, has announced that the quota for increase in motor vehicles will be reduced from the current 1.5% per annum, but will state the exact figure at a later date.
I agree with this decision to reduce the growth in vehicle population. In fact, I believe that we already have too many vehicles in Singapore - judging from the congestion on our roads and the difficulty in finding parking spaces at the homes, workplaces, shopping malls and other destinations. It is appropriate to start reducing the vehicle population, e.g. by not allowing some of the expiring permits to be replaced, but I do not think that the Government will take this step.
More important, we need to improve public transport, especially the local transport that brings commuters from their homes to the MRT stations or bus terminus. This can be done by issuing licences for local bus and taxi services that operate within a town. These services can be exempted from taxies and other fees, so that the cost to commuters will be kept low through competition. It will also provide employment opportunities for older people who have a driving licence.
I have written about these ideas in this paper on local transport and also in another paper on the public transport system. I have sent the papers to Minister Lui, but he had replied to me at that time that he is too busy to study them. I have not heard from him since.
Many people have to buy cars due to difficulty in getting public transport, especially if there do not live close to the MRT station. If there is a good system of affordable and convenient local transport, they may be willing to forego the expense of owning and using a private car,

How To Buy The Best Car Audio System For You And Your Ride
Every car that drives and people are in it needs a car stereo or some kind of CD player. If you were driving from one end of the state and you expect to go to the other end of the state without any music and you are by yourself then you must be one lonely person. You can listen to your music all you want inside your own car and you don't have to listen to anyone telling you to turn it down or off. Many people love their time in their own car because it lets them enjoy the music that they like to listen to. Without music we wouldn't have the audio equipment that we have today.
If you bought a car without a CD player sometimes they give you a free CD player to put in the car, other times your new car might come with a whole new audio system with subwoofers and amps. You can find a CD player anywhere like best buy, circuit city any place that sells electronics is going to have your CD player for your car.

Famous snorers and 5 types of snorers | spider article
Many famous people both living and not, have been widely remembered for anything but their snoring. Yet for those living with them or around them, memories of their snoring would have equaled their celebrity status.
Napoleon Bonaparte, Winston Churchill, Queen Victoria, Teddy Roosevelt are just a few historical figures known to be great snorers, and who all shared the same characteristics of being short, overweight and having a short neck. Celebrity snorers amongst us today are said to include Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Douglas and even Tom Cruise (or so one magazine quoted as being the reason why he and Katie Holmes had separate bedrooms).
Teddy Roosevelt was remembered by fellow patients when he was staying in a hospital, as having snored to such deafening proportions that complaints were made to the staff that patients could not rest and sleep.
Winston Churchill was well known for his love of cigars and enjoying more than his fair share of alcohol, and was also badly overweight. Again all known contributors to snoring.
So if you are one of America?s 90 million snorers, you are in good company.
As part of a 2007 study, the UK Travelodge Hotel chain classified their snorers into groups, based on the sound they made when they snored. The top five ?snorer types? identified were:
1. The Snorter (18%) ? distinguished by a rapid blowing of air through the nostrils and mouth, similar to the sound of a horse snorting
2. The Snorchestra (12%) typified by long, low snores that gradually build into a deafening crescendo
3. The McEnroe (10%) ? distinguished by violent grunting sounds, similar to the noise made by tennis stars when competing
4. The Walrus (8%) ? typified by continuous groaning noises when sleeping
5. The Old Banger (5%) ? sounds like a broken car with a spluttering engine
So what ?type? of snorer would you class yourself as, or each of our famous snorers?
It is important that people take responsibility for their own health and the health of people they love and care about. So if snoring is damaging their health and their relationships with those around them, they need to do something about it.
Here are some suggestions to start looking at:
- Review your lifestyle, as this is the easiest to change without medical intervention. Are you overweight or drinking too much alcohol, are you drinking alcohol or eating heavy meals too near to bedtime, are you stressed or maybe not getting enough exercise? The benefit of addressing these factors is not only will the snoring be reduced but you will also feel much better overall. (as will the people around you).
- Look for things that may be contributing to your snoring such as suffering allergies, taking certain medications, sleeping on your back, ongoing nasal congestion from colds.
- There are literally hundreds of readily available stop snoring remedies available, either from your local stores or on-line. Remember to try out lots, and don?t give up after the first couple, as it may take you a while to find the solution that best suits you and your partner.
- If none of this works, there are also medical options, some of which are not too invasive such as injection snoreplasty and the pillar procedure. These involve the stiffening of the soft mouth palate which stops the vibration of it that causes the snoring noise, and both procedures are done in medical consulting rooms under local anaesthetic, taking around 30minutes.
- For more serious snoring, people should seek medical advice in case they are suffering from the more serious medical condition sleep apnea, where the snorer stops breathing during sleep. For more information on this refer to http://www.sleepapnea.org

Overcome your Public Speaking Fear
Amplify’d from publicspeakingfearhq.com
Public speaking fear can be a debilitating condition which as many as 75% of public speakers can suffer from at one time or another (source: Communicating for Results, a Guide for Business and the Professions (Hamilton, C),8th edition).
For ordinary people like me, who have suffered from a fear of public speaking when faced with having to make a speech in front of a crowd of people, the anxiety and stage fright I suffered was a terrifying experience.
When I was faced with the need to make a presentation or a speech, even to a small group, led to shortness of breath, shallow breathing, dry mouth and stomach churning shaking on occasions.
Thankfully I have overcome my public speaking fear now and I started http://PublicSpeakingFearHq.com to let other people know how I succeeded. You will find lots of tips on the internet on how to overcome this phobia ranging from “secrets” to hypnosis to listening to mp3s to help sufferers with their problems.

How modern economics have failed us
This is an excellent article which explains that modern economics did not follow the teachings of Adam Smith. It has been allowed to stray from from the what the free market should be - i.e. freedom with responsibility. It explained how the financial sector made a lot of profit through excessive speculation and did not add any value in the process. Modern economics have operated on wrong principles and lack of morality.
