Oil prices in Northern Ireland are going to rise and will stay high for a long time due to Peak Oil. Peak oil is the theory that oil production will reach a “peak”, and thereafter forever decline, due to the fact that it is a finite resource.

Dissent and demonstrations against an unpopular government has always been part of human history. Often a revolt failed, whilst on other occasions succeeded with far reaching consequences, but the images of open revolt by the average citizens of dozens of countries across the globe, is signaling that 2011 and 2012 could be the coming of age for a period of intense change.

Starting at the beginning of 2011 we watched protesters, rioters, and demonstrations throughout the Middle East. The protesters took down the government of Tunisia, Egypt, and by February 20 there had been riots in protest in Bahrain, Yemen, Libya, Jordan, Syria, Algeria, and even civil unrest in Saudi Arabia. In fact it had also spread to even another continent – South America where there were riots and protests in Venezuela, and Bolivia.

As we watched in January and February of 2011, we saw the governments of Tunisia, and Egypt fall to protesters, marketers, and rioters. President Mubarak was the president of Egypt for over 30 years, but he fell in less than 20 days of rioting, and he fell at the hands of his own military no doubt. We’ve also seen riots and protests in Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Algeria, Libya, Bahrain, and Yemen.

Ahmadinejad, the President of Iran, has threatened to shut down demonstrations, and severely punish those who organize protests, or marches against the regime. The Iranian parliament has talked about executing the leader of the opposition party, one of the parliament members who sides with the protesters. For a nation that claims to have elected representatives, Iran appears to be void of freedom, and willing to remove its opposition from the life experience.

Being the oldest form of mass communication, newspapers have enjoyed a high rapport among their readers during all these years since they have introduced in this society. Newspapers have always played a critical role in spreading awareness, educating and informing people on a larger scale on various public concerned issues and matters. However, after the introduction of advanced technology, digital mediums to a larger extent have replaced the importance of newspapers in being the major source of news and information among these technology driven people.

Every century bears its own mark of social transformation. It is the law of history; ruled by the contingencies of dialectical opposites. Slavery has been the mark of Africa social interaction from time intractable. Kings form dynasties while the masses are enslaved. The nobles flourish at the impoverishment of the people. At different points in the African history dimensions have changed, yet the matrix remained the same. How can one explain this? The changing dimensions have been driven by two parasitic elements: one from within and the other from without. The first is caused by elements that are part of the dynasty. They are nobles usually socialized into power by the fortune of their parents. Driving by their ambition, they mobilize other nobles like themselves and effect a change in the dynasty. The people are left in the dark; they only live to celebrate the changing dimension of the oppressive dynasty hoping for a breath of fresh air. But what is really there to hope for when they have not participated in the change. This is while they remain enslaved, because the matrix has not changed. The people again become suffocated.

Chinese New Year is traditionally the most important occasion within the Chinese community, celebrated as a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving. As departed relatives are generally remembered with great respect because they were responsible for laying the foundation for the fortune of the family they are especially honored during this time of the year…

Far too many people blame NAFTA on our nation’s economic problems and unemployment challenges, but I assure you, I personally am not one of them. Nor do I blame other nations for our economic ills. First, and foremost I believe we ought to look inward and into our own mirrors, and then consider what else we can do to make it more favorable for our jobs to stay here.

In the blaze of less than the glory he’d hoped for Egypt’s President, some say dictator, has stepped down. Or was taken down by the military coup, with a good bit of support from the angry mob of protestors, those who rioted and said they’ve had enough + outside influences? Surely, we will get the whole truth in the future, but as it stands 30-years of rule in Egypt is over.
