economyandmarkets`The Power of the Cycle:
Do sunspot cycles affect the stock markets?
. the sunspot cycle is reputed be 11 years;
but over the last hundred years,
the real average of this cycle is 10.3 years.
. months of research into sunspot cycles
has shown that 88% of the major crashes,
came in the down cycle,
and most of the rest came close on either side.
The worst crashes come around
the first 2.5 years after a peak;
and, the cycle peaked February 2014;
so the greatest crash should happen
between mid-2015 and late 2016.
[ consider too the 7-year shemitah cycle:
the next one is sept 2015 .]

drug use #childcare

2.15: co.nextdoor.com/Crime & Safety
/health/childcare/drug use in the neighborhood:
"This is not the first time that I have witnessed
students openly smoking dope on the street and sidewalk."
-- JH
me:
. we see from how much society uses drugs
that the ethics of drug use is debatable;
but what is not up for debate
is that childhood is an efficient time to learn
and also an urgent time to learn
(the ignorant get hurt!)
so I thought we should pay kids to learn;
and insist that be their only source of income .
. teach kids not only what is hurting kids
(suicide, car accidents, teenage pregnancy)
but how health choices cost you later .
. when you develope academic skills
you learn to love yourself and are less prone to
letting social troubles lead you to suicide .
. we pay you more for higher grades
because we value your life .

rodeo is getting more dangerous #childcare

2.15: news.health/rodeo is getting more dangerous:
kids in rodeo:
"Cody Custer ... won the 1992 Professional
Rodeo Cowboys Association World Championship,
... He says 11-year-olds are now getting on
the kinds of bulls he rode in college."

The New Yorker mag`Bilger 12.10:
. bulls are being bred to be buckier than before;
only the steers (castrated) are safe to ride now;
at "futurities" bulls get rode by dummies .
. the more aggressive bulls sometimes gore each other;
often this starts when they try to hump each other .

regulated #capitalism is #communism

2.15: co.apt/pol/gemini/regulated capitalism is communism:
. talk radio is saying we should beware communism
because it would regulate capitalism;
let me remind us that privacy is the root of all evil;
absolute power brings absolute evil,
and privacy is the key to absolute power;
the most powerful should have the least privacy;
because the whole point of privacy invasion
is to know what is going on to regulate it .
. to the extent that we regulate capitalism
for environmental or consumer protection
we are communistic; and, that degree of communism
is nothing to be afraid of .

are vitamin E supplements needed?

2.14: web.health/diet/are vitamin E supplements needed?
. it could be that we don't need much vit'E
and any reduction in heart disease
only occurs in those prone to it due to bad diet;
my diet is like the Zone diet but with eggs,
no mammal meat, and little dairy;
my diet avoids grains except oats;
but grains are the primary natural source of vit'E;
however even without grains
it may be possible to get healthy levels of vit'E
by getting a lot of dark green leafies .
