⁣The European Central Bank, the ECB, is widely expected to announce that it will buy unlimited debt from the European debt markets this month in an attempt to raise the Euro and boost confidence in the markets. However signals suggest that the release of unlimited debt will not be a major driving force behind the markets as bond yields are already near record lows. This means that the effects of the increase in base interest rates by the European Central Bank will only be limited and confined to short term gains in the market. In addition there is a strong likelihood that the announcement will be greeted with widespread negative commentary across global markets.

⁣Research carried out by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in London cast doubt on the rebound of the UK economy. The study shows that between July and September, the UK gross domestic product (GDP) grew by an annual average of 2.5% pa compared to the same period last year. This means that though the British economy rebounded, it has not fully recovered and there is still scope for further turbulence. Data casts doubt on UK economic rebound Even if the slowdown was smaller than expected, it was much worse than many economists had expected and many economists believe that it will take time for the British economy to bounce back from the global downturn. In an age where economies are buffeted by changing trends, it is imperative for businesses and households to be prepared for difficult times ahead.

⁣With Canada legalizes recreational marijuana for adult use, many people from different countries are starting to emigrate to Canada just to enjoy the wonderful recreational marijuana experience. If you are considering Canada as a good place to live and work, then this might be a great time to immigrate to Canada and work in the booming medical marijuana industry. The government has recognized that marijuana has many medical benefits and is not the dangerous drug it is often portrayed as by the media. If you have certain amounts of medical marijuana plants growing indoors or in your house, please ensure that you have permission from the Canadian government to grow these plants legally, before dark because the police will come and arrest you for growing marijuana plants during the night!

⁣There has been a lot of debate over the effects of the Referendum on the UK's future as an EU member, and a Brexiting UK government has issued several reports in an attempt to mitigate some of the worst impacts. The two reports, the government has released are its declaration that it will not seek to remain in the Single Market, and its promise to put forward an alternative strategy for the Single Market after the breakup. While these announcements have so far failed to gain the backing of the Remain community, they will do little to alleviate the pressure on the government is facing. As things stand now, the UK's membership in the European Union is inevitable, and extra UK health funding is the one thing that can help soften the impact.

⁣The BAE's solar powered UAV could fly for a year without recharging, and that is over two thousand miles in a day! This content was inspired by reading a presentation by BAE Systems at their corporate headquarters in England. It talks about how long the BAE's solar powered UAV could fly for, and also shows the battery technology they use for this. I am sure the battery technology used by the US military to power their UAV's are much better than what BAE is using.

⁣If we are going to send humans to the moon and Mars, then we need to look into how we could revive dying satellites. We already know that it is very difficult to put a satellite into a low Earth orbit or a geostationary orbit (where the satellites are above the equator and the earth's rotation axis is moving parallel to the orbit plane). Sending someone from NASA or other space agency to rescue a dying satellite is not as easy as putting a human being on the moon or Mars. We might be able to use technology to "repair" dead satellites by re-inserting a solar power collector into its dish and using battery power to power the repair system - but that might still not be safe, and it might take a year or more to get the satellite up and operational again which means we're still on the moon, which are somewhat ridiculous, and that's not what I want.

⁣Rising oil prices are propping the spending power of consumers, especially when it comes to buying necessities. And while it may seem that every consumer is hurting due to the current state of the economy, there is actually a lot of optimism surrounding the situation. People are realizing that they can get back to work and spend less on things that they enjoy instead of stressing about how they're going to make it through the next few months. Jet charter companies are also starting to benefit from this newfound sense of freedom.

⁣The Fed just lifted the rate it's historic base rate by a vote of nine to one. The Fed will raise short-term interest rates and lower long term rates in order to cool the economy down, but this time it is taking the inflation problem into consideration. And believe me when I tell you this; the "Zionism" crowd better watch out because this time they have a friend in high power who has a lot of clout in Washington. If the Fed starts raising rates too much without considering the inflationary impact, we are headed for a very tough market with real estate bubbles across the country, and the dollar losing value versus many other currencies.
