A reading close to 0 suggests that a bottom is forming and a reading close to 100 suggests that a top is forming. The readings are for the actual currency, not the currency pair. For example, a reading of 100 on the Canadian Dollar suggests that the Canadian Dollar is close to a top (USDCAD close to a bottom).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9131130405626721449-1279665653587861318?l=faizsubhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://faizsubhan.blogspot.com/feeds/1279665653587861318/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://faizsubhan.blogspot.com/2009/05/cot-data-warns-of-dollar-weakness.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9131130405626721449/posts/default/1279665653587861318'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9131130405626721449/posts/default/1279665653587861318'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://faizsubhan.blogspot.com/2009/05/cot-data-warns-of-dollar-weakness.html' title='COT Data Warns of Dollar Weakness'/><author><name>World Electration</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07994061052830979222</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gn5Mmtn0n4A/SbaT-5X_5pI/AAAAAAAAAAs/TlvqTm6zylc/s72-c/5.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131130405626721449.post-2888230882555390408</id><published>2009-05-12T04:45:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-12T04:45:52.940-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Australian Dollar</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3 class="post-title entry-title"&gt; &lt;a href="http://sheraz-forex.blogspot.com/2009/03/australian-dollar.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/h3&gt;   &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gn5Mmtn0n4A/SbaV-yoabFI/AAAAAAAAABM/16dPixyE6zg/s1600-h/9.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 250px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Gn5Mmtn0n4A/SbaV-yoabFI/AAAAAAAAABM/16dPixyE6zg/s320/9.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311597716505783378" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AUD:&lt;/strong&gt; Australian Dollar speculators are net short and commercials net long.

But the cape which Nearchus says his party sighted running out   into the sea opposite Carmania no one has ever been able to round, and thus turn inwards   towards the far side. I am inclined to think that had this been navigable,ft and had there   been any passage, it would have been proved navigable, and a passage found, by the   indefatigable energy of Alexander.

But when at last   he turned southward, he fell in with every sort of difficulty, want of water, blazing   heat, and fiery streams running into the sea. But Cyrene, lying in the more desert parts   of Africa, is grassy and fertile and well-watered; it bears all sorts of fruits and   animals, right up to the region where the silphium grows; beyond this silphium belt its   upper parts are bare and sandy.

ALL the territory that lies west of the river Indus up to the river Cophen is   inhabited by Astacenians and Assacenians, Indian tribes. But they are not, like the   Indians dwelling within the river Indus, tall of stature, nor similarly brave in spirit,   nor as black as the greater part of the Indians. These long ago were subject to the   Assyrians; then to the Medes, and so they became subject to the Persians; and they paid   tribute to Cyrus son of Cambyses from their territory, as Cyrus commanded. The Nysaeans   are not an Indian race; but part of those who came with Dionysus to India; possibly even   of those Greeks who became past service in the wars which Dionysus waged with Indians;   possibly also volunteers of the neighbouring tribes whom Dionysus settled there together   with the Greeks, calling the country Nysaea from the mountain Nysa, and the city itself   Nysa. And the mountain near the city, on whose foothills Nysa is built, is called Merus   because of the incident at Dionysus' birth. All this the poets sang about Dionysus; and I   leave it to the narrators of Greek or Eastern history to recount them. Among the   Assacenians is Massaca, a great city, where resides the chief authority of the Assacian   land; and another city Peucela, this also a great city, not far from the Indus. These   places then are inhabited on this side of the Indus towards&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9131130405626721449-5462177144980348899?l=faizsubhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://faizsubhan.blogspot.com/feeds/5462177144980348899/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://faizsubhan.blogspot.com/2009/05/astacenians.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9131130405626721449/posts/default/5462177144980348899'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9131130405626721449/posts/default/5462177144980348899'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://faizsubhan.blogspot.com/2009/05/astacenians.html' title='Astacenians'/><author><name>World Electration</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07994061052830979222</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131130405626721449.post-2804969099149135944</id><published>2009-05-05T01:41:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-05T01:42:40.941-07:00</updated><title type='text'>For more</title><content type='html'>This page is a subset of texts derived from the three major online &lt;b&gt;Sourcebooks&lt;/b&gt;     listed below, along with added texts and web site indicators.

The cavalry is as much afraid of their own infantry as of the enemy; for in a defeat they fire at them to get their horses to escape more quickly. In short, it is a mob assembled rather than an army levied.

And they all trembled at the name of the Turks, who with a confidence procured by their constant successes, held the Christians in no less in contempt as warriors than they did on account of their religion. Proud and vainglorious, conquest was to them a passion, a gratification, and even a means of salvation, a sure way of immediately attaining a delicious paradise. Hence their zeal for the extension of their empire; hence their profound respect for the military profession, and their glory even in being obedient and submissive to discipline.

The re-invention of the old colonial strategy that came to Africa in the name of “civilization” to that of helping fix perennial famine challenges fails to address reasons why African farmers cannot feed the continent in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;In cases where communities with superior farming technologies lease land from governments on the continent; they do not recognize existing disputes between communities and the said governments that has led to the  huge chunks of “idle” land. In cases where individual African landowners lease out the land;  analysts do not probe why international banks are quick to finance outsiders with agro loans to feed Africa and produce bio-fuels as opposed to financing indigenous entrepreneurs. &lt;br /&gt;Land leases in poor countries address the symptom rather than the actual disease. For example in Africa; the leases are negotiated with organizations (governments) which have never been reformed to achieve legitimacy from the governed. Such lease agreements do not address the interests of the farmers, especially why farmers in poor countries cannot competitively produce to feed themselves and the rest of the world. To send in mercenary farmers is to perpetuate the prejudiced notion that those who have shall be added; but for  those who do not have, even the little they have shall be taken away. &lt;br /&gt;Europe, United States of America, and Japan among others have received a series of petitions on the negative impact of their farm subsidies on African agriculture. Ever since independence, prices for African commodities ranging from agricultural to minerals have always been set by Western countries thereby impacting negatively on the quest for sustained growth, value addition and bargaining power. Policy makers from the West have in the last five decades reminded Africans on the dearth of leadership on the continent. What makes the Western leadership suddenly assume that Africa has finally gotten the right leaders to negotiate ceding of land to their farmers?&lt;br /&gt;The surge towards acquiring African lands to feed people in re-emerging economies buttresses the fact that famine on the continent is an artificial problem. Developed and re-emerging economy elites are ganging up with short term focused African elites to rob farmers of the ability to feed the continent. African farmers are starved of financing and technology and enslaved by trading regimes that makes it difficult for them to access national, regional and international markets.&lt;br /&gt;The quest to lease land from Africa is a strong signal that there exists great demand for the continent’s agricultural produce. It is imperative that African governments take advantage of this, not by leasing out land- but by providing a framework to increase productivity in the farming sector. It is also extremely urgent to review land policies inherited from colonial governments in order to give power to Africans to utilize their land for their benefit and the benefit of the rest of the World. &lt;br /&gt;The short term aspect of leasing out land will be to generate revenue for the sustenance of the political elites. The long term effect will be to sustain the psychological rape on the African mind that has for over five centuries made him/her to believe that an African has no ability to confront daily challenges. In the final analysis, the leasing spree is setting up the continent for another stage of violent episodes as the continent’s citizenry remain mere spectators at the market place.By James Shikwati Mr. Shikwati is the Director of Inter Region Economic Network&lt;a onclick="window.open('editor_mail.php?article=4237','','toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,resizable=no,menubar=no,width=350 ,height=360,left=20,top=20'); return false; " href="http://www.africanexecutive.com/modules/magazine/articles.php?article=4237&amp;amp;magazine=222#"&gt;Comment on this article!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="boxHead" href="http://www.africanexecutive.com/modules/magazine/articles_editor.php?editor=4" name="&amp;amp;lpos="&gt;RECENT ARTICLES BY THIS WRITER &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.africanexecutive.com/modules/magazine/articles.php?article=4237"&gt;Wealthy Nations Using Famine to Hold African Farmers to Ransom&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.africanexecutive.com/modules/magazine/articles.php?article=4052"&gt;Corruption in Africa: Not in My Name!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.africanexecutive.com/modules/magazine/articles.php?article=3908"&gt;The Anecdotal African in Dilemma&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.africanexecutive.com/modules/magazine/articles.php?article=3875"&gt;Reflections on Africa's Lost Generation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.africanexecutive.com/modules/magazine/articles.php?article=3839"&gt;How the Law is Enslaving Africans&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.africanexecutive.com/modules/magazine/articles_editor.php?editor=4"&gt;More articles by this writer...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="boxHead" href="http://www.africanexecutive.com/modules/magazine/articles_recent.php?sections=53" name="&amp;amp;lpos="&gt;RECENT ARTICLES IN THIS SECTION&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.africanexecutive.com/modules/magazine/articles.php?article=4242"&gt;Agricultural Stewardship Tips&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.africanexecutive.com/modules/magazine/articles.php?article=4237"&gt;Wealthy Nations Using Famine to Hold African Farmers to Ransom&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.africanexecutive.com/modules/magazine/articles.php?article=4231"&gt;Plant Plague Threatens 90 Percent of All Wheat Varieties&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.africanexecutive.com/modules/magazine/articles.php?article=4230"&gt;Public-Private Partnership Targets Smallholder Farmers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.africanexecutive.com/modules/magazine/articles.php?article=4218"&gt;Agricultural Stewardship Tips&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.africanexecutive.com/modules/magazine/articles_recent.php?sections=53"&gt;More articles from this section...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9131130405626721449-3070800160619044989?l=faizsubhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://faizsubhan.blogspot.com/feeds/3070800160619044989/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://faizsubhan.blogspot.com/2009/03/ethiopia.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9131130405626721449/posts/default/3070800160619044989'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9131130405626721449/posts/default/3070800160619044989'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://faizsubhan.blogspot.com/2009/03/ethiopia.html' title='Ethiopia'/><author><name>World Electration</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07994061052830979222</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131130405626721449.post-9114150885320063712</id><published>2009-03-31T01:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-31T01:23:05.950-07:00</updated><title type='text'>wealthy</title><content type='html'>Developed and re-emerging economies are already at it once more.

The picture includes a knob on the right side of this picture which allows you to turn the volume on and off, and also allows you to adjust the volume.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a

والنجوم&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;علي سينا&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;كان محمد على نفس شاكلة قومه واقرانه من اهل الجزيرة العربيه , يؤمن بالخيالات والاشباح وكان يسميها "الجن"&lt;br /&gt;هذه المخلوقات وكما يخبرنا محمد مصنوعة من نار وتعيش بيننا وتحاول اغرائنا لنفعل المعاصي وندخل النار.&lt;br /&gt;اكثر ما في الامر استغرابا ومدعاة للضحك هو "وكما اخبر محمد " ان هذه الجن الملاعين كانت تصعد الى السماء لتستمع الى الاحاديث الدائره بين الملائكه وبين الله لتكتشف مخططات الله وملائكته لتعمل على احباطها , ولكن الله عندما بعث محمدا بالنبوه وحتى لا يسرق الجن كلام الله ويعطيه لشخص اخر غير محمد ويدعي ذلك الشخص النبوة كذبا , صنع الله النجوم والشهب لمحاربة هؤلاء الجن الملاعين , فكان يقذف الجن الذي يسترق السمع بشهاب او نجم فيطرحه ارضا ,(وكان من الجن ايضا من تدرب على الركض في الماراثونات فيهرب ولا يصيبه اذى)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;يقول الله على لسان الجن في سورة الجن ,اية 8-9 "وانا لمسنا السماء فوجدناها ملئت حرسا شديدا وشهبا ,وانا كنا نقعد منها مقاعد للسمع فمن يستمع الان يجد له شهابا رصدا "&lt;br /&gt;ويقول ايضا في سورة الصافات ,اي 6-10 " انا زيينا السماء الدنيا بزينة الكواكب , وحفظا من كل شيطان مارد , لا يسسمعون الى الملأ الاعلى ويقذفون من كل جانب ,دحورا ولهم عذاب واصب , الا من خطف الخطفة فاتبعه شهاب ثاقب "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;هذا الرجل "محمد" كان حقا مضطربا عقليا , فمرة يرى الارض منبسطه , ومرة يرى الشمس تطلع من الشرق وتغيب في الاوحال , ومرة يرى ملائكة , ومرة يرى جنا , ومرة يرى سبع طبقات للسماء وان النجوم معلقة في السماء الاولى "الدنيا" لتزين الارض ولتستخدم كصواريخ لقذف الجن بها ,,," ايها الناس الا تفيقون من جهلكم وغبائكم" ,,, اي عاقل هذه الايام يصدق هذه الاكاذيب التي صدقها محمد وقومه يوما ما ؟!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;هذه الصواريخ " الجو-ارض او الجو – جو" التي كان يراها محمد مضيئة في السماء هي شهبا وهي اجزاء من الصخور التي تنفصل من الكواكب او غيرها لسبب او لاخر ,تقترب من الارض بفعل جاذبييتها وتخترق الغلاف الجوي بسرعة هائلة مشكلة ضوئا نتيجة ذلك الاحتكاك بالغلاف الجوي .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ان ما يدعوا للسخريه ان المسلمين ما زالوا يؤمنون بوجود الجن والسبب ,,, انه ورد ذكرهم في القران , والقران كلام الله والله لا يخطيء !!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;واريد اخيرا ان اذكر المسلمين بان هناك ظاهرة كونية اسمها المطر الشهابي والتي تحدث بين حين واخر وهي باختصار :" سقوط عشرات الالاف او حتى مئات الالاف من الشهب في ليلة واحدة" ,فما هو سببها يا ترى ؟ هل ان الله في تلك الليله يكون مجتمعا مع الملائكه ليضع خطه لتحويل هذه الارض الى جنه او انه يعد العده لارسال نبي جديد , او انه يكتب مسوودة لقران جديد ؟ ," كما يخبرنا ابن كثير او القرطبي في تفسيرهما للايات المذكوره اعلاه", ونتيجة لهول الحدث يجتمع الملايين من الجن ويتخذوا قرارا بالصعود جميعا الى السماء حتى لا يفويهم اي من تفاصيل هذه الخطه الالهية ؟؟؟&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Creed of Al-Imaam ibn Abi Zaid&lt;br /&gt;Tapes: 11, Duration: 12hr 27min, Size: [Mp3 = 171.56
