QE3 - Third time lucky or... prolonged agony?

If you are like me you are probably jaded by current economic news the likes of which reminds me of the movie "Groundhog day."

In the movie the main character awakes to the very same day, no matter what he does that day, he is returned to the same starting point... the next day. The premise offers unlimited potential to have a different day, yet offers nothing in the way of a continued life experience.

It is possible that the seemingly endless stream of band aids applied to the hopelessly wounded global economic prospect have at least one definable effect, that of desensitizing and introducing stasis into the awareness of citizens at large, i.e. they have long ceased having an interest in the pantomime of successive false hopes.

No matter how many TARP, bail-out, or QE sequels are announced, the effect of them seems only to benefit the elites and power-mongering scourge that created the situation to begin with, while penalizing innocent citizens at large with higher unemployment, diminished personal economic opportunity combined with ever crushing taxation. These aspects have been covered extensively in prior posts.

A quick review of mainstream media reports the following...

I am supposing if you are hungrily scanning those headlines for signs of personal fiscal relief you won't find it, unless of course you are one of the unscrupulous "feeders from misery" speculators who habitually aid and abet the continued hardships of the rest of us, indeed there seems to be no shortage of parasites sucking the last drops of honest folks retirement funds and modest saving accounts enabled by the ill-advised, reckless and contemptuous policy making of elitist New World Order proponents.

Each successive "announcement" is tantamount to the "day starting over again" much like the premise of ground hog day. Endless possibilities for the day, but no continued opportunity to build upon, the next day.

My assessment for the situationally aware, the global economic outlook is deepening in negative prospect and has yet to find bottom, social unrest will continue to fester and manifest disruption, shortages, rising prices and unemployment will define the New World Order economic model, which has usurped capitalism in favor of "debtism."

As usual I advocate self-sufficiency and the forging of revised personal economic activity, barter, trade, swap, re-purpose and assist everyone within your circle of influence to "see" and respond to the obvious and continuing onslaught of pending hardships, which if viewed correctly may just become a unique opportunity to flush and replace the current inequitable and unsustainable socio-economic model with one having personal merit.

Women and children overboard

It's the Catch-22 of clinical trials: to protect pregnant women and children from the risks of untested drugs....we don't test drugs adequately for them. In the last few decades , we've been more concerned about the harms of research than of inadequately tested treatments for everyone, in fact. But for "vulnerable populations," like pregnant women and children, the default was to exclude them. And just in case any women might be, or might become, pregnant, it was often easier just to exclude us all from trials. It got so bad, that by the late 1990s, the FDA realized regulations and more for pregnant women - and women generally - had to change. The NIH (National Institutes of Health) took action too. And so few drugs had enough safety and efficacy information for children that, even in official circles, children were being called "therapeutic orphans." Action began on that, too. There is still a long way to go. But this month there was a sign that

Not a word was spoken (but many were learned)

Video is often used in the EFL classroom for listening comprehension activities, facilitating discussions and, of course, language work. But how can you exploit silent films without any language in them? Since developing learners' linguistic resources should be our primary goal (well, at least the blogger behind the blog thinks so), here are four suggestions on how language (grammar and vocabulary) can be generated from silent clips. Split-viewing Split-viewing is an information gap activity where the class is split into groups with one group facing the screen and the other with their back to the screen. The ones facing the screen than report on what they have seen - this can be done WHILE as well as AFTER they watch. Alternatively, students who are not watching (the ones sitting with their backs to the screen) can be send out of the classroom and come up with a list of the questions to ask the 'watching group'. This works particularly well with action or crime scenes with
