Euro Bonds already a done deal?

Tuesday, August 30, 2011

Thus Rürup follows an already familiar pattern: First, the voters, the people deceived the public, it is appeased, abgewiegelt, denied. Then, after a time, is called upon to pour the people the plain truth, to tell the truth.

The one who "boldly" about bringing the truth to surround himself naturally with the nimbus of decent ones and even heroic. The media regularly succumb to its charm.

However, it is here in many respects to a travesty and an incredible audacity: (more ...)

The resignation of the Schleswig-Holstein Deputy Prime Minister and party leader of the CDU in Schlesw.-Holst. Parliament has annoyed me.

The man had actually withdraw not because he did anything wrong - a 16-year-old is finally no longer a child, but as a rule, a woman with a rule, if you did not have a development problem - but because he has not held. ( Read more ...)

New information can their approach now appear more grotesque. It turned out namely that hochbelobigte Force (Justice Minister Storberget: "fantastic job") even has a special detour chose to go by boat to the island, while the carnage continued to run undisturbed.

The explicitly taken by the government in protecting police who spontaneously EUR 2.6 million for 100 additional police stations was approved, took on that fateful July 22, 2011 not the most direct route to the misfortune island, but drove from Oslo Coming past the island, further along the coast up to the level of the next island "Storøya" and continued from there on.

Finally help of two oncoming civil boats and you can continue on the path, as already described in the preceding Gegan against contribution. The Norwegian television "NRK" has reconstructed the route:

But first things first: (more ...)

I lacked ever time and faith to occupy myself with shares, however, I had once before me with the importance of so-called. "Spice metals" dealt and already missed me in the former article at length about the importance of rare earths.

I had particularly indium, gallium, and tantalum impressed: criteria were non-toxicity, possibility of physical storage and Wertbewahrung- or increase.

All three metals satisfy these criteria in particular. The first two are, they have not become an integral part of the computer industry (screens, LCD monitors, etc., solar cells). However tantalum found in medicine (implants), aircraft and much more. Use.

I wanted to try out what it's like to bring in a local metal trading company making a purchase in handy over the stage. I learned: It can be by phone or advice via email, because due to the precious fabrics, the camps there, a customer can easily show up there, he would not be admitted. The desired substances are delivered; it must match the company a deadline to be agreed. (more ...)
