Are you contributing to the economic problem, slow retail business and job loss?

If you have reduced what you normally spend week in and week out you likely are!

Of course, if you have lost your job or have had your fixed income reduced due to what is going on in the financial market it is understandable for you to reduce your spending, and I am sorry this has happened. What I am addressing here are the majority of people who have had little to no monetary change in their income – most of the population.

We are a panic driven people, and this kind of situation breeds more panic and negative news upon itself. Just look at how fast the stock market traders respond to news. A bad news story yesterday gets them to sell everything today and then, a good news story tomorrow will have them buying again – fickle group. But our society as a whole seems to behave more like this than with reason.

Those of you that have had little to no change in your economic situation, don’t let all this fear and worry talk guide your behavior. Boycott the negative news and keep your spending at normal levels. Because if you fall prey to the negative news and slow your spending you will be contributing to the mess, and contributing to a poor retail climate and forcing thousands more people to loose their jobs. Have you ever considered how many people you support with your retail spending?

Our economy is based on cash FLOW, not on holding money. If the normal flow is diminished too much it all falls apart, do you want to contribute to that? Yes we are in a real estate downturn, yes many people are losing their homes, yes credit is tighter, yes interest rates are dropping – but most people are still getting the same paycheck they have been for a while and are not directly affected by these problems to a great degree.

If a typical waiter or waitress serves 6 to 10 tables, how many people have to stop going to a restaurant in order for them to loose their job? Not many! Now when they loose their job, there is one more person that has less money to pass around the economy. If you think about this a moment you can see how this just snowballs and it can happen quickly.

The unemployment in the US is up about 1.4% since September of 2007 and maybe growing still, but how many people are still working? About 94%. All the people that are still getting paid regularly are really in control here of the overall economy. The question is will they allow fear and panic to overwhelm their reason and tighten their wallets and purses to the point that the cash flow is greatly reduced?

There is much evidence that this is happening. Restaurants are less busy than normal, retail sales are down. Think about it for a minute, lets say that the 1.4% additional people that are not working this year do not spend any money, how much should this affect the overall economy? Not much right.

And how many homeowners have lost their homes? Are they no longer spending any money anywhere? Of course not, they still have jobs, have expenses and now pay rent.

So why then are retail sales down by so much more? It’s because the rest of us have reduced our spending, why? Yes we can bring up that people on fixed income have lost some buying power but again, this is not the majority and their income has been reduced not eliminated.

I am asking that we all assess our situation and determine if we really need to be holding back beyond our normal spending habits. I think that the bulk of the population does not need to reduce spending, that they only need to stop letting the fear based news affect them. If most do reduce spending, the economy will continue to spiral down, then unemployment will rise and more and more will have to reduce spending. We will all suffer more if this happens. Do what you must, but please be sure that it is actually necessary and that it is not based on fear. Your fears will come to be if you participate in them right now.

As citizens, the ball is in our court. Help keep the economy afloat and vibrant so these current problems will correct quickly rather than slowly. So that the current problems are not compounded. So that more unemployed people will get jobs sooner than later.

Taking command of your thinking is your real power. Boycott the negative press and choose to not buy into the fear – rather buy what you usually buy. Let’s show that we are strong mentally and not let the tail wag the dog. We are the economy, not the problems or the news.

Results have been received for the final 18 samples with 4 samples being of special interest. Assay results ranged from 0.02 to 2.39 g/t for gold and <0.2 to 1782 g/t for silver.

Joining a chorus of ailing U.S. automakers, Toyota Motor Co. (TM) yesterday (Monday) forecast its first operating loss in 71 years on plummeting demand and sharp appreciation of the Japanese yen. The announcement prompted Moody’s Investors Service to consider downgrading the company’s top-rated credit.

But the news may have bigger implications for Japan’s entire economy, as the country’s exports continue to take a beating from sagging worldwide demand for its products.

Japanese exports plunged 26.7% in November from a year ago. Shipments to the U.S. slid an unprecedented 34%, Japan’s Finance Ministry said. A strong yen, which makes Japanese goods more expensive, combined with deflated consumer spending, is hammering Japanese exporters.

Toyota will post a $1.7 billion (150 billion yen) loss in the year through March, it said in a statement, scrapping a previous forecast of a $6.6 billion. The last time Toyota posted an operating loss was in the year ended March 1938, spokesman Hideaki Homma told Bloomberg News.

The environment we’re in is extremely tough,” President Katsuaki Watanabe told reporters in Nagoya. “We’re facing an unprecedented emergency situation. Unfortunately, we can’t see the bottom.”

U.S. auto sales are down 16% this year, led by declines of 28% for Chrysler LLC, 22% for General Motors Corp. (GM) and 19% for Ford Motor Co. (F), Bloomberg News reported. The three U.S. automakers will close about 59 factories over the next month as they struggle to avoid bankruptcy.

It is difficult to envision any swift recovery from the present damage in the U.S., Toyota’s core market, and we anticipate increasing cuts in overseas local production,” wrote Barclays Capital (BCS) analyst Tsuyoshi Mochimaru in a research note on Dec. 19, according to MarketWatch.

Compounding the demand problem is a surging yen, which erodes overseas profits for Japanese exporters. The yen has gained 25% against the dollar this year.

But Toyota’s problems may just be the tip of the iceberg for Japan’s economy. The November export plunge was the biggest drop on record, as global demand for cars and electronics collapsed.

Earlier this month, Sony Corp. (ADR: SNE) announced it was cutting 8,000 jobs, or about 4% of its worldwide workforce. Sony recently blamed a 72% profit plunge in the third quarter partially on a resurgent yen. Electronics company Sanyo Electric Co. (OTC: SANYY), facing tough market conditions around the globe, agreed Friday to sell itself to rival Panasonic Corp. (PC).

“Japan’s economy has never weaned itself off of the overbearing reliance on exports, and especially to the U.S.,” said Kirby Daley, senior strategist and head of capital introductions at Newedge Group. “Japan did nothing to prepare itself” for the collapse in demand from abroad, he told Bloomberg News.

Like the U.S. Federal Reserve, The Bank of Japan has been hacking away at interest rates in an attempt to stanch the economic bleeding. Japan’s central bank lowered rates to 0.1% on Friday.  But the rate cuts haven’t been enough to kickstart the Japanese economy, as the yen has remained stubbornly strong.

A picture equals thousand words and a moving picture equals thousand pictures – such is the power of video.

Small wonder that technology videos, a more recent manner of disseminating technology news, are a popular marketing tool of most companies selling gadgetry and/or technologies. Then there is the deteriorating attention span of readers/viewers – another factor that makes videos a more attractive marketing option. Who wants to plod through the yellow pages or through small print technology news? Who wants a fact file in a droning monotone, accompanied by still shots of the product in a powerpoint presentation? Avail, instead, the instant information provided by a technology video.

Take, for example, Digital TV. Demonstration of how that particular technology works, through a technology video, leaves no room for doubt. People are assured that what they see is what they get and will line up to choose Digital TV over every other sort. The video can further offer comparisons and help the consumer choose to his advantage. Also, remember the old adage – you hear, you forget; you see, you remember? Technology videos probably act on this principle.

Technology news can be pretty dry and incomprehensible if served in the conventional manner. Packing in all the features of a product in the limited space often does not do justice to the product. It can be a daunting task for the page creator and equally so for the reader. It puts him off before he reaches the bottom of the page, whereas a lively video will have you wanting to see more. Moreover, it is difficult for the prospective buyer to translate, say, Intel XXXX into what he will actually get in terms of everyday operations. A video offers a clear picture, literally.

A short video film, strategically embedded in various related web sites is just the thing to boost sales and to differentiate your product from the others. A single click takes the prospect through 2 minutes of intensive watching, hearing and reading and he most likely comes away mesmerized and converted. Technology videos are definitely on!

The acai berry is getting a lot of attention in the news lately…Dr. Perricone, who is an avid supporter of the Acai’s  Health News , was a guest on the Oprah Winfrey show when he listed the top 10 foods everyone should consume to help you look and age better!

He described the acai berry, which was one of the 10 foods, as “an almost perfect essential amino acid complex in conjunction with valuable trace minerals, vital to proper muscle function.”

This berry is packed with a natural complex of B vitamins, vitamins A, C, and E, omega-3 fatty acids, anthocyanin (an antioxidant), zinc, potassium, magnesium, copper, iron, calcium and especially phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are plant based nutrients that help guard and protect the immune system.

The Acai berry contains the highest recorded ORAC value of any fruit or vegetable tested to date. A high ORAC value fights against the free radicals that can cause declining joint function and mobility as we get older.

Skin tone: Youthful, healthier-looking skin.

Healthier eyes: Better night vision

Greater energy /stamina.

Russell Brand was reportedly arrested immediately after finding concerned inside a physical altercation having a member from the paparazzi.

Well you could knock us down with a pink boa. X-Factor winner Joe McElderry has quashed the ‘is he or isn’t he?’ rumours by confirming he’s…straight (?!).

Despite mincing his way through 25  X-factor episodes the 18 year old Geordie star says he fancies ‘Kylie’ (ahem) but doesn’t have time for girls at the moment (double ahem).

Who cares? We love him anyway and our arms are open should he suddenly bust out of a closet. In fact we could do a lot worse than having a squeaky clean gay role model for a change – that duet with Georgina Michael was a tad cringifying it must be said!

According to The Mirror the X-Factor star has suffered homophobic bullying since an early age (and there’s one thing for sure: kids just always know – ok ok we’ll let up! Call it wishful thinking!).

Former girl friend Carly Dilbert, now a bar maid in McElderry’s home town of South Shields, said “Joe was brought up by his mum, his nan and his auntie and all his friends were girls. I suppose it made him a bit more effeminate and sensitive than most guys. People thought he was gay, but we knew the truth.”

Currently battling it out with Rage Against The Machine for the Xmas No.1 McElderry brushed off the gossip with a smile “I’m straight. I’ve had girlfriends, but I don’t have one right now. I haven’t slept with anyone, but I’m a young lad and I’m concentrating on my music.

“I know I’ll probably get offers but – for me – it’s all about the singing for now.”

Ahem!

Mixed hopes of success and fall have been haunting investors for three months now. With India being integrated with the world economy, the GDP growth rate bearing testimony to the fact, foreign trade has seen a dramatic rise over the last two decades. The falling of the world economy, therefore, has affected the Indian economy as a whole. As per the latest news, it is not only the stock market falling dramatically but also industrial output declining, creating panic amongst business establishments and the government alike. The latest news India also reveals of the collapse of consumer demand and fall of the BPO regime, i.e, outsourcing in the West.

The very recent Satyam accounting scandal well portrays weak corporate governance, thus increasing investor nervousness in the already panicky situation. This latest news on financial scandal comes as a shock to emerging markets. Inflating the proceeds by over $1 billion, Satyam is an example of other probable frauds that may be uncovered. With its shares falling by 80% in India, it also dragged down Bombay stock index by 7.3%. Strengthening of regulations to protect the interest of shareholders is what is promised by the government as per latest news India.

India news confirms that despite the global economic recession, Indian economy is targeted to grow by 7% in the next fiscal. With expansion activities topping the lists, this expected figure will be the highest in the world. Measures by the government as well as banks have given this green signal. According to the latest news India, the cutting of the lending rate by 350 basis points by the the RBI since October 2008 and the government’s announcement of a 200 billion rupee ($4 billion) stimulus package and cut duties on manufactured products have upheld India’s growth rate despite slowdowns.

Though governments and central banks, as per latest business news, are trying to limit the economic damage so far caused yet Asian stocks fell further, reminding investors of the Great Depression of the 1930s. Latest news reported loss of 700,000 jobs in December 2008 in the US alone with few in India; other nations recorded more or less an equally grim figure.

Economic Development Board (EDB) is expanding its efforts to attract global businesses to establish their headquarters in Singapore. As reported in The Business Times on 9 December 2009, EDB will broaden its strategy of focusing on the traditional G3 multinational companies and work to lure innovators and entrepreneurs from Asian countries to use Singapore as home base for their businesses. The strategy is really to “ensure a more diversified and robust range of industry sectors,” said Mr Yip, chairman of EDB.

Singapore is no longer just the gateway to Western markets. It also provides links to many important markets within Asia. EDB plans to capitalize on the economic growth in India and China — and Singapore’s existing ties with them — to encourage Asian companies looking to compete internationally to use Singapore’s unique position to help them cultivate a global presence by moving here.

Asian businesses such as those in China and India have reached a level of maturity and are now ready to reach out to the markets worldwide. Many of these businesses are asking how to tap into the global market. Given its unique position, Singapore provides one the most attractive marketplaces for any company looking to expand globally. There are over 7,000 MNCs in Singapore, including many from India and China. China’s sportswear giant Li-Ning and miniature acoustic components maker AAC, for example, have chosen to set up their international headquarters in Singapore.

Singapore has a remarkable business infrastructure. Its wealth-management sector is second only to Switzerland, and Singapore is the fourth largest foreign exchange trading centre in the world. Singapore’s stable environment and business-friendly approach have it ranked No. 1 in the world in ease of doing business and No. 2 in protecting investors, according to the World Bank Group’s annual rankings for 2009 and 2010.

Mr Yip told The Business Times: ‘Other than access to a global and regional business network, Singapore also offers these companies the opportunity to hire international talent. If we can keep offering such value, we could see more of these up and coming Asian companies call Singapore home. And these could well be in the Fortune 500 in 10 to 20 years,’

Part of EDB’s strategy includes promoting Singapore’s livability. Building up the lifestyle offerings — such as the arts, fashion and sports — will help make Singapore more attractive to both international companies and talents.
