Klein's question: What's the backup plan? In this TED Talk, Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, looks at the BP Oil Spill and Climate Change, asking if we are indeed "addicted to risk?". Watch below and comment here on the blog:

Pond's Beauty Product Review: Anti-aging, Cleansing, Whitening and Hydrating Lines

++++++++++++++++++++++




We all want the best for our skin to beat the ageing process. Pond’s products are up there, among the world-class skincare brands. It really does play to the tune of the people, and knows what we women need and want, which is why it makes it such a favourite brand of mine.

I have an obsession with beauty; trying so many different products and investing in key creams that should be used daily. So, I like to change what I use every couple of months. Now, when I got to trying ponds, I realised it’s an incredibly competitive product. I believe that it has been really overlooked and underrated, and we should expect to see this brand rising in popularity. So in this review, i’ll give you a little insight into Pond’s that will give you good reason for incorporating it into your daily routine.

China Holds More of US Debt Than Indicated | Socyberty

++++++++++++++++++++++

A third more of US debt is currently in China’s hands than previously estimated. What has brought the US to suddenly become more indebted to China? Are these movements from China, a result of an attempt to curb their rising economy?

First, looking back to July 2009, China owned $800.5 billion in U.S. Treasurys. China had already surpassed Japan as the largest holder of Treasury securities in September 2008, and the Chinese have increased their huge stake in US debt purchases over the years.

At the end of the 2010 year the total US debt held by China was 30% less than the February 2011 revised amount. This brings the figures up 270 billion dollars more than the amount released in Dec last year. The total amount released in February soared to around $1.16 trillion.

Read on and tell us your thoughts on what you think's going to happen to the US!! :) http://socyberty.com/economics/china-holds-more-of-us-debt-than-indicated/#ixzz1FZTTHWEv
