Masculinity in value again

Men: retrosexuals suppress metrosexuals. What is a "real man"? Not burdened by diet, shoes, emotions, cares only about sex, beer and football.

Once the man was simply a man. And then, with the development of the feminist movement, characterized as "chauvinist pigs" who do not spend enough time to sink.

Then came a new, neat man - metrosexual. Women liked, but they began to complain that he does not have enough testosterone to secretly spend their creams and creams from the bathroom ... I, began to complain of "real men". In the book "Retrosexuals: How to be a real man," author and journalist David Thomas said that they are macho details that women complain about, and returning to the scene.

What is this man? Fearless like Indiana Jones, then sufficiently strong as Popeye to be no effort to open cans, but certainly not waxed. Or, if they should find counterparts in the modern world, they are the closest picture actors Russell Crowe, Vince Vaughan, Hugh Laurie and "Doctor House" or a little less raw Hugh Jackman. Buckish Beckham goes back in time? We shall see.

The term "retrosexual" used for the first time the 2003rd year. It is a British journalist Mark Simpson briefly described the "classic man." But he, instead of being nervous about whether his hair and tidy clothes, instead of being burdened with diet, shoes, emotions, how to juggle all the responsibilities, cares only about sex, beer and football. They must be in abundance. Do not consult with friends, and even less with feng-shui, daily or weekly horoscope you need to decide on something.Simply, think for himself. Has strong hands that open any bottle and take more suitcases at once. Does not take up too much shelf in the bathroom, which women in particular prices, because no man wants to have more cosmetic products than her, but one that is only a shower, shave, and it is ready to leave the house.

He paid cash and less credit cards. Pays the bill at the restaurant even when a woman offers to let it do so. It opens doors to all women, pregnant women get up in the bus. And proud of it. When it comes to food is not over demanding, but know that he does not cook, at least not on weekdays. But, because weekends preparing barbecue, and how!

No woman can not be got in between him and his love to watch live football matches. And there and because of that went to the cinema to watch a movie like "Sex and the City". Very holds to the car, but not those polished.

In the golden age retrosexual, for example, all cars were the "Ford", made the 1970th and 1985. year - "Ford Cortina", "ford capri", "ford granada" ... The road is not asking where to go, because he always knows the right way, or at least does not acknowledge that this pathway may fail.

He has no best friends, but buddies, a hug, tears and kisses are acceptable only if they were both hopelessly intoxicated.

Dom retrosexsual is reduced and they are not at all important features chairs, tables, beds and a sofa to lie down while watching TV. But it is not squeamish on a plasma TV, DVD recorder and a good music device. However, David Thomas jokingly points out that even knows how to follow retrosexual styles in interior of the apartment. For example, one that leans to minimalism, will have to fit the TV, bed, fridge (with beer), a good piece of clothing will keep on the floor. The one who "loves" modernism, provide to the apartment in the same way, except that its technical equipment will be more powerful. And so on ...

Retrosexual is a bold, practical, competitive, knows how to majstoriše in the house, well built, but unencumbered by going to the gym, changing rooms, and aging. Dressed casually and is, compared with metrosexuals who rules a decade, seems a bit neglected. Do not wax your chest and armpit hair, no eyebrows, pulls the thread, does not wear jewelry unless it is not counted in a good hour, not a regular at the beauty and hair salons, has tousled hair, a beard for days ... Unfortunately, there are beer belly, but no one is perfect.

Bereaved cosmetic industry

In recent years cosmetic industry is a drop in sales of products for men, and is predicted to be in the future to continue the downward line. Sales of gels and mousse fell for 15, ten deodorants, skin care products by 1.8 percent, and even fewer sales and razors. In order to somehow follow a recent trend and raises retrosexual in the house "L'Oreal" a few months ago they hired Hugh Laurie, what unsaved grumpy doctor and Hausa, as the face of men's cosmetics line. But, alas, retrosexual is neat, but not cat, at least not as much as employed in the cosmetic industry would like.

Final Fantasy Espers

Throughout Final Fantasy XII there are thirteen Espers, or summons. After you defeat an Esper through storyline or sidequest play, you will acquire that summon on the License Board. You can then get the license with any character but only that character. In battle that character can summon that esper and the esper will fight alongside the caster until it runs out of HP or time. As your summoner gains level and ability so will your esper.

All that said they aren’t the most useful options in the world but provide some of the toughest challenges in the game. Some (Cuchulainn and Adrammelech come to mind) are available rather early in the game but will rout you until later on. Many esper fights have certain stipulations during the battle that disallow your party to attack, cast magic, use an item, etc. You will almost certainly have to do some scouting with the initial battle or inform yourself ahead of time.

Belias

The Gigas

Scion of darkness and guardian of the Holy Realm, made by the gods in opposition to Loghrif the Transcendent, scion of light. Called the Gigas for his appearance: man and monster fused as one. Considered a mistake upon his making, and receiving not his intended role, the Gigas challenged the gods and lost. Scorned by his masters, he found another: the Dynast-King, whose tomb he swore to protect for eternity.

Mateus

The Corrupt

Scion of darkness ruling and protecting those who live in the underworld, in opposition to Lahabrea the Abyssal Celebrant and scion of light. In the course of his rule, he submitted to avarice, and the darkness took his heart, transforming him until he was both evil and corrupt. Then in his cowardice did he bind a Goddess of the Demesne of Ice, and using her as a living shield, he challenged the gods. Defeated before their might, he fell screaming into the depths of hell, there to be imprisoned for eternity.

Adrammelech

The Wroth

Emperor among the scions, able to reduce to nothing aught he strikes with a single vengeful blow of his fist, created in opposition to Deudalephon the Benevolent, scion of light. Though he was made by the gods to quell the fiends that raged in the Otherworld, his immense strength and fearsome visage drew the fiends to his side, and turned him against his creators. Adrammelech rose to prominence in the Otherworld, whence he led a fiendish horde against the gods, but in the end, he was defeated.

Zalera

The Death Seraph

Heretic scion who wrapped the world in dark energies, seeking to take the souls of all living things unto himself. Created in opposition to Emet-Selch, Angel of Truth, and scion of light. Originally tasked with the judging of men upon their deaths, his soul was tainted by the curses of those who raged against the heavens, and seizing one of the gods' servants, a shamaness, as a hostage, he rebelled against his creators. Even now, in defeat, he clutches the shamaness to him in his right arm, and with the aid of her death-wail does he summon the soul of darkness to do his bidding.

Shemhazai

The Corrupt

Scion that is both horse and woman, wielding utter control over the souls that wander the underworld, in opposition to Igeyorlm the Martyr, scion of light. Though she once served the gods as a guardian, when Ultima announced her rebellion, Shemhazai went to her, whispering of the gods' hidden weaknesses. She then descended upon the land without leave of the gods, and taught men of destruction and evil. For this was she striken down and bound.

Cúchulainn

The Impure

Scion created to rid the world of its impurities by swallowing them within himself, in opposition to Nabriales the Majestic, scion of light. The world, however, was more filled with impurity and corruption than even the gods dared imagine, and having swallowed it all, the once beautiful Cúchulainn was transformed into a hideous thing, a deity of filth, and so did he turn against his creators. Wherever his feet should fall, there all life withers to dust.

Exodus

The Judge-Sal

Most ancient of the scions, created in opposition to Halmarut the Arbiter, and scion of light. Tasked with keeping watch over the world, with the authority to judge the value of all things. As he watched, unseen, unknown, his attachment to the world dwindled, and faded until it was as nothing. Fitting that he would desire to make the world, too, as nothing. Yet he fell in the war against the gods, and was thwarted, imprisoned in punishment for his heresy.

Hashmal

Bringer of Order

Scion set by the gods to wield and manipulate the laws of this world, and with holy power lead mankind to order. Created in opposition to Fandaniel the Protector, scion of light. Desiring to bring order to all things, he joined with Ultima in her battle against the gods. He gave his body to the Thousand-Years War, and when his strength was spent, down into the burning inferno he fell.

Zeromus

The Condemner

Honoring the law more than any other, a scion of holy order and condemner of criminals. Created in opposition to Knight-Star Pashtarot, scion of light. He turns his deep, abiding hatred for those who break the law into living darkness, therein to plunge the guilty in fell judgment. Over time, he came to care less for upholding the law and more for condemnation, and so tainted by hate, he sought to condemn the gods themselves to death. Thus, did he earn the title "The Condemner", and thus did he fall from grace.

Famfrit

The Darkening Cloud

The hideous, darkly clouded form of Famfrit, scion in opposition to Holy Queen Emmerololth, scion of light, was anathema even to his creators. Thus, after a great battle, was he broken and sealed within armor laced with wards. The confines of his armor are void of light, and so is he called the Darkening Cloud. Men fear the rain that falls from the black clouds that ooze from that giant ewer as a herald of chaos and waste.

Chaos

Walker of the Wheel

Tutelary deity of the sacred crystals fashioned by the gods at the time of the Great Making. Created in opposition to Mitron the Chasiter, scion of light. Upon entering the world of Man, he was enveloped in the turmoil rampant there. Lost, he died and was reborn countless times, a walker of life's wheel, eventually to rage against the gods that had so failed him. By sitting in meditation upon the Unrh Pedestal does he clear heart and mind until all that has order and reason and thought is made as nothing.

Ultima

The High Seraph

Masterpiece among the scions created by the gods, and the mastermind of the plot to rise against them. Prior to her betrayal, she was tasked with guiding souls to heaven and aiding in their reincarnation. Called the High Seraph for her angelic wings of glimmering gold, yet it was on wings of deepest black that the tainted angel Ultima rose against the gods. Since her fall, her heart is without light, and impossible to know.

Zodiark

Keeper of Precepts

Strongest of the scions created by the gods, they feared his growth, and so kept him a child. So indomitable is his strength that all things are by him twisted and pressed into oblivion. He alone fashions the laws governing all things, and administers punishment in place of the gods. So is he Keeper of Precepts, and his authority is absolute.

 

Final Fantasy XII

Final Fantasy XII is a console role-playing video game developed and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 2. Released in 2006, it is the twelfth title in the Final Fantasy series. The game introduced several innovations to the series: battles occur without a transition to a separate screen; a customizable "gambit" system automatically controls the actions of characters; and a "license" system determines which abilities and equipment are used by characters. Final Fantasy XII also includes elements from previous games in the series such as summoned monsters, Chocobos, and Moogles.

The game takes place in the fictional land of Ivalice, where the empires of Archadia and Rozarria are waging an endless war. Dalmasca, a small kingdom, is caught between the warring nations. When Dalmasca is annexed by Archadia, its princess, Ashe, creates a resistance movement. During the struggle, she meets Vaan, a young adventurer who dreams of commanding an airship. They are quickly joined by a band of allies; together, they rally against the tyranny of the Archadian Empire.

Story

Final Fantasy XII begins in Dalmasca's capital city of Rabanastre, where the happiness from the union of Princess Ashe of Dalmasca and Prince Rasler of Nabradia is interrupted by the Archadian Empire's invasion of Nabradia. In the subsequent war, Nabradia and Dalmasca are subjugated by Archadia; Prince Rasler is killed, and the Dalmascan king Raminas, after signing a treaty of surrender, is apparently assassinated by the Dalmascan captain Basch. Reks, a young knight under Basch's command, bears witness to the assassination, but later dies of his injuries. Marquis Ondore announces that Basch has been executed and Princess Ashe has committed suicide.
Two years later, Vaan, the younger brother of Reks, is living a life of a street urchin in Rabanastre. Despite his friend Penelo's objections, he infiltrates the Rabanastre palace during a dinner celebrating the appointment of Vayne Solidor as consul. During the infiltration, Vaan encounters Balthier and Fran, a pair of sky pirates who are after the magicite that Vaan took from the royal treasury. Their escape attempt fails when a battle breaks out between Imperial troops and Dalmascan Resistance forces, and they end up in the sewers where they stumble upon the Resistance leader, Amalia. Vaan, Balthier, and Fran are captured by the Archadians and detained at the Nalbina Dungeons. In Nalbina, the three encounter Basch, imprisoned but alive, and they escape with him; Basch pleads that his twin brother, Gabranth, had posed as him on the night of the treaty and was the true assassin. While skeptical at first, Vaan eventually believes him. With the help of Balthier and Fran, the party then travels to Bhujerba, where Penelo is kidnapped by Ba'Gamnan, a bounty hunter trying to catch Balthier. While rescuing Penelo, the party meets Lamont, a curious boy who is Vayne's younger brother, Larsa, in disguise. Basch is also able to confront the Marquis, who captures the party and detains them onboard the Archadian airship Leviathan, headed by Judge Ghis.
On the Leviathan, the party is reunited with Amalia, who is revealed to be Princess Ashe. Ghis takes Vaan's magicite, a royal Dalmascan artifact, and sends it to Archadia. The company escapes from the airship after defeating Ghis and returns to Bhujerba; however, lacking the magicite, Ashe has no proof of her identity and Ondore suggests that Ashe remain hidden in Bhujerba. Instead, Ashe escapes and attempts to collect the treasures of Dynast-King Raithwall, which would prove her royal blood. The party acquires the Dawn Shard, a piece of "deifacted Nethicite", from Raithwall's Tomb, but Ghis seizes it. The small piece of magicite destroys the Leviathan, Ghis, and his fleet, while Ashe and her party barely escape. The company later encounters Larsa, who seeks a peace treaty between Dalmasca and the empire; Ashe initially objects, but Larsa convinces her to pursue a treaty in order to protect Dalmasca. She goes to Mt. Bur-Omisace to seek Gran Kiltias Anastasis' approval of her as queen of Dalmasca.
The party learns in Mt. Bur-Omisace that many other influential people also hope to avert war. Larsa, who had been investigating Vayne's connection to the manufacted Nethicite, had made contact with Al-Cid Margrace, a member of the Rozarrian Empire ruling family, to convince the two Empires to cease their war. They plan to announce Ashe's status as Dalmascan Queen and to persuade the Archadian emperor Gramis not to go to war, but the plan is thwarted when the Emperor is killed, supposedly by Archadian Senate Chairman Gregoroth. With Anastasis' aid, Ashe retrieves the Sword of Kings, which can destroy Nethicite. While she obtains the sword, Anastasis is killed by Judge Bergan and Larsa is brought back to Archadia. After defeating Judge Bergan, Ashe's party travels to Archades and the Draklor Laboratory, Doctor Cid's base of operations. Cid escapes and leaves clues that lead them to Giruvegan, the supposed location of the Sun-cryst, the source of all deifacted Nethicite. While the whole party is able to enter Giruvegan, only Ashe encounters the makers of the Sun-cryst, the immortal Occuria, who pull the strings of history; they give her the Treaty Blade to cut pieces of her own.
In a cutscene, it is revealed that Doctor Cid's Nethicite research was augmented by knowledge from the Occurian heretic, Venat, who had allied with Cid and Vayne in order to put the "reins of History back in the hands of Man". Vayne aims to become the new Dynast-King by using manufacted Nethicite to conquer all of Ivalice. Cid, revealed to be Balthier's father, was obsessed with researching the Nethicite's power after his own visit to Giruvegan and initial encounter with Venat. Their expansion campaign—which led to the Dalmasca's occupation and the destruction of the city of Nabudis—was made to obtain and study deifacted Nethicite.
Ashe is faced with the choice to heed the Occuria and take pieces of the Sun-cryst for her revenge or to destroy it and end the Occurian control over history. Still undecided, Ashe and the party travel to the Pharos at Ridorana Cataract, where the Sun-cryst is located, accompanied by the pirate Reddas. At the top of the tower they face Gabranth, who admits to killing King Raminas in an attempt to force Ashe to give in to her hate. After they overpower him, Cid arrives and fights the party; they defeat him, but before he dies he uses Nethicite shards to harness the full power of the Sun-cryst. Reddas sacrifices himself to destroy it.
Ashe learns from Al-Cid that a war between Archadia and the Resistance group led by Marquis Ondore is about to take place in Rabanastre. The Sky Fortress Bahamut, an enormous, Nethicite-fueled airship armed with incredibly powerful weapons, had absorbed the incredible amount of Mist released by the destruction of the Sun-cryst and now hovers above Rabanastre. Infiltrating the sky fortress with the aid of the Resistance, Basch confronts Gabranth, who is impressed by Basch's loyalty. The party encounters Vayne and Larsa in the midst of an argument over Vayne's plot for power, to which Larsa objects strongly, Larsa and Gabranth ally with the party to destroy Vayne and Venat. After Vayne's defeat, Ashe announces the end of the war, and Larsa takes over the Imperial Army. The party escapes Bahamut, now out of fuel after the final battle, with Gabranth's body and Larsa. Balthier and Fran remain onboard the Bahamut, steering it away from Rabanastre to prevent a collision, though contact with them is lost.

In the following year, Ashe becomes Queen of Dalmasca, and Basch replaces Gabranth as Judge Magister, serving as guardian to Larsa, now Emperor of Archadia. Vaan acquires his own airship, which he operates with Penelo. Balthier and Fran escape from Bahamut and survive to recover the Strahl and go to Bervenia. The game ends with Vaan and Penelo setting out to visit them, embarking on another adventure.

Characters

The six main playable characters in Final Fantasy XII are Vaan, an energetic orphan of Rabanastre who dreams of becoming a sky pirate; Ashe, a determined princess of Dalmasca who lost her father and husband in the Archadian invasion; Basch, a disgraced knight of Dalmasca charged with treason for slaying the king; Balthier, a gentlemanly sky pirate who pilots his airship, the Strahl; Fran, Balthier's partner and a Viera exile whose knowledge extends to legends and myths; and Penelo, Vaan's childhood friend who accompanies him on journeys to "keep an eye on him".
The Archadian Empire is ruled by House Solidor, headed by Emperor Gramis. The family also consists of two siblings, Vayne and Larsa, the former a military genius and the latter a charismatic seeker of peace. Judge Magisters, upholders of Archadian law, protect House Solidor and execute every command issued by the ruling family. The technological marvels of airships and synthetic nethicite—a form of magicite that absorbs Mist—are thanks to Doctor Cid, a prominent researcher from Archadia. The Resistance against Archadia includes Dalmascan knight Vossler, an ally of Basch; Marquis Halim Ondore IV, the game's narrator and ruler of the skycity Bhujerba; Reddas, a sky pirate based in the port at Balfonheim; and the Rozarrian Empire, of which Al-Cid Margrace is a prince of the ruling family. The mythos of Final Fantasy XII revolves around a character known as Dynast-King Raithwall, a man who once united Ivalice to create the Galtean Alliance in ages past.

Battle system

Unlike the previous single player Final Fantasy games which used a turn-based system, battles in Final Fantasy XII occur in the open field; however, menus are still used to issue commands to the characters. Battles unfold in real time, using a new system called "Active Dimension Battle" (ADB), which allows the player to battle in the overworld instead of in a separate battle screen. The player may issue commands to any of the three characters in the battle party at will; however, guest characters are controlled by the game's artificial intelligence. Battle commands include Attack, Magicks & Technicks, Mist, Gambits, and Items. Using these abilities, the player must destroy enemies before being defeated.
"Random encounters" have been eliminated in Final Fantasy XII; the transition to a separate battle screen like in other Final Fantasy titles is absent; instead, enemies are visible in the overworld before an engagement and the player may choose to fight or avoid them in open combat. A battle begins when the party comes within range of an aggressive enemy (or vice versa), if the party attacks a non-aggressive enemy, or if a story event initiates a confrontation. When a character or enemy begins to perform an action, target lines connect characters to other party members or enemies; different colors represent the type of action. The player may switch any active character with an inactive character at any time, unless the active character is targeted by an attack or ability. Characters who are knocked out may also be substituted. The absence of a transition to a battle screen means the traditional victory scene is also eliminated, though a successful "boss" battle does present the player with a "Congratulations" screen featuring the participating characters' victory poses and a variation on the well-known battle victory music theme used in most previous games in the series.
Another new feature in Final Fantasy XII is the "gambit" system, which allows the player to program each character to perform certain commands in battle in response to specified conditions. Using gambits, the player may set reactions to different stimuli for each character. Each gambit consists of three parts: a target, an action, and a priority. The target specifies which ally or foe to act on and the condition for applying the action. For example, the target "Ally: HP < 70%" causes the character to target any ally whose hit points have fallen below 70%. The action is the command to be performed on the target. The priority determines which gambit to perform when multiple gambits are triggered. These heuristics guide the characters when acting autonomously, though player-directed commands are always given top priority.
In Final Fantasy XII, a mysterious phenomenon known as "Mist" is the key energy which allows the player to cast summoning magic and perform "Quickenings". After defeating one in combat, the player will be able to summon an "Esper" to the battlefield. Similar to Final Fantasy X, the summoned creatures become active participants in battle, as opposed to the cinematic attacks seen in previous games in the series. Unlike Final Fantasy X, however, Espers follow hidden gambits, rather than the player's direct command. The summoner remains an active member in the fight, able to attack and cast support magic, instead of leaving the party or standing idle while the summoned creature fights. An Esper will leave the battle if either the summoner or itself is knocked out, its time limit expires, or it executes its special attack. Some Espers have origins in Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and others are derived from the final bosses of previous Final Fantasy games such as Chaos, the final boss of the first Final Fantasy, and Zeromus, the final boss of Final Fantasy IV.
Final Fantasy XII introduces "Quickenings", a new Limit Break system unique compared to those in previous games in the series. Characters learn Quickenings by progressing to specific panels on the License Board. Each character can learn three Quickenings, which are unique to that character. Characters may string together Quickenings into large combo attacks, called Mist Chains, via timed button presses. If a Mist Chain reaches a certain length, a final strike will be initiated at the end of the Quickening cycle, called a Concurrence.

License Board

As in many role-playing games, characters "level up" each time they earn a set number of experience points from defeating enemies; each level gained increases the character's statistics and consequently, improves performance in battle. Statistics include hit points, the amount of damage a character can receive; strength, the power of the character's physical attacks; and magic, the potency of the character's magical spells.
In addition to leveling up, players may improve their characters via the License Board. The License Board is an array of panels that contain "licenses"—permits which allow a character to perform certain actions. The board is split into two parts; the upper part contains Magick, Technick, Accessory, and Augment (stat increases and other permanent buffs) licenses, and the bottom part is filled mostly with Weapon and Armor licenses. To use a Magick, Technick, or piece of equipment, the character must obtain its corresponding license by spending the required amount of LP (License Points) to permit its use. LP are earned in battle along with the experience points. Like the Sphere Grid in Final Fantasy X, all characters may obtain all licenses on the board; however, each Quickening and Esper license may only be activated by a single character.

Final Fantasy XII Espers Review

Blue whales endangered species - save blue whales

Blue whales are the largest animals that ever lived on earth, can reach a length of more than 30 meters (100 feet) and weighs 200 tons. Blue whales are an endangered species, they are the largest animals in the world and have long been on the red list of the United Nations most endangered species in the world, threatened by recent disappearance.

While in previous centuries has not hunted whales sapphire because of their speed and weight, by the mid 19th century, they began to hunt regularly. During the 20th century was fished about 350,000 blue whales. In the southern hemisphere were created for the settlement of hunters and processors that are whales during the whaling season spills of a busy life and work. Out of season, the village would be deserted. The consequence of such intense fishing was a big drop in catches after the 1930th year because of Azure whales are almost no longer existed. However, only the 1966th entered into force on the international protection provisions.

Before the period of the great whaling, the world's seas floating about 200,000 specimens of blue whale, of which almost 90% in the South Seas. Today, despite the protection that now has lasted for almost 40 years, the total population of these species has only a few thousand individuals. The exact scope of the population is very difficult to determine. How far is observed strength of the recovery of these whales, some experts believe that the total population is too small to be able to re-grow. It was noted that blue whales in the North Atlantic, due to lack of partners of its kind, more often mate with other species of whales. This creates new species of whales, and blue whales are disappear as a species.

Since commercial whaling was banned, has not been established whether the world population of blue whales is stable or increasing. In Antarctica, it is estimated that 7.3% of the population number increases every year. It is assumed that the Icelandic population in California and also on the rise. The size of the entire world population of blue whales is estimated at between 5,000 and 12,000 individuals (2002.), But there is great uncertainty in the estimates in many areas. According to the IUCN Red List, the blue whale is an endangered species, and it was this list since it was first made.

Blue whales are particularly vulnerable in Japan. Given that they have bacon and steak just like pigs because they are mammals, especially the price of their meat. Fishermen are allowed an annual quota of how many whales can be caught, but they largely do not respect and love more and more whales. Given that fewer whales, they are forced to go farther from shore and to hunt in the prohibited zones, which brings them into conflict with authorities, but this does not prevent them to continue business as usual.

The largest known population is located in the northeastern Pacific (from Alaska to Costa Rica) and has about 2,000 blue whales. Most often seen flying over California. Sometimes this population extends over the northwestern Pacific Ocean, recorded meetings are rare in the area between Kamchatka and extreme northern parts of Japan.

The total population of North Atlantic blue whales is between 600 and 1500th.

World on the verge of bankruptcy

Global debt grew more than twice in the past decade, the trend of borrowing continues. The entire planet owes more than he has. Every second all indebted.

Every second all the world is indebted, but the entire planet, but owes more than the income brackets.

Mankind sways under 158 trillion (thousand billion) dollars in debt. Every man on the planet owes 22,733 dollars. Every child is born with the burden of debts, which are growing faster than the growth of mankind. Debts are growing faster than gross domestic product.

Debts have more than doubled in the past decade, with 78 billion dollars in 2000 to 158 billion dollars in 2010. year, estimates the global consulting firm "Mekinsi". With 6.95 billion people on the planet, and last year's gross domestic product of 74.54 trillion dollars, the average GDP of the world is $ 10,500. This is only half of the debt each of us.

In theory, mankind is bankrupt, making it financially more vulnerable than ever in history. Prediction "Economist" suggest that next year brings another five billion dollars in major debt.

- The debt is growing faster than GDP. The ratio of global debt to GDP ratio increased from 218 percent in 2000. year to 266 last year - says "Mekinsi".

Most of the debt refers to government and financial institutions. World governments owe their citizens, a growing number in recent years reflects a worrying trend. Faster growth of debt income, as is the case in recent years, implies greater state intervention in the economy, and raising taxes in the future, predicts "The Economist". The higher government debt, the greater the risk of fiscal crisis, a crisis and thus will have a greater impact on the economy.

--------------------------------

Meter of U.S. debt in New York's Manhattan on a street in the second screen is printed in a second amount of U.S. debt and debt of each American. Debt in the world's largest economy reached 14.62 billion dollars, which is close to U.S. GDP. This debt, according to the IMF prediction, amount to more - 103 percent of GDP in 2012. year. In the U.S., debt per capita is twice higher than at the global level and is 46,884 dollars.

--------------------------------

Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Britain and the U.S. have already been caught in a debt trap. They try to escape by making cuts in health and pension insurance, firing thousands of workers, while the U.S. has resorted to printing money. It introduces in a big way in the global system of inflation - printing money without backing.

The United States has lent billions of dollars over the past decade, mostly from foreign investors, which helped finance two long war and the recovery of the financial system and promote economic growth, fiscal stimuli. Debt is up, so, just piled.

- America is supposed to accumulate the 204 billion dollars in debt, and now it seems every two to three years - noted American Congressman Jim Cooper.

In the U.S., the situation worsens monetary and loose fiscal policy after 2001. year. Policy of low interest rates encourage spending in the private sector and increasing indebtedness of households, while spending on the military rose from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. America is the exporter of capital, thus becoming its importer, vacuum about two-thirds of global savings in the period between the 2004th and 2006, which, as experts note, resulting in "global imbalances".

America, however, as an integrated economy, experts notice, despite the growing economic problems, has mechanisms that can resolve them more quickly than in the euro area. The fact that the euro area, each state still decides on its economy, and that the rules of how the budget deficit can be largely ignored, tolerated, makes the situation in this part of the world more complicated than in the U.S..

European politicians have responded to the crisis of a series of indecisive measures, which caused a negative reaction from investors in Brussels, Frankfurt and Washington. Experts commented that the response of Europe could be greater integration and centralized fiscal debt financing, and the deadline longer foreign investment, a new opening to educated immigrants. Such solutions, however, have not yet in sight, and similar historical episodes of the past taught that the healing process of a recession is not fast, even without an earthquake.

Helping the international community does not go by the fact that the extended life expectancy in most developed parts of the world, in Japan, Europe and the United States means that fewer and fewer taxpayers have to provide financial resources for a growing number of pensioners. Light output in a word, no.

The measures are, how heavy, so limited - life could be extended to 70 years, the extension of life expectancy. For the U.S. it could mean a reduction in military spending and agricultural subsidies. For Europe, the loosening of strict immigration policies because the old continent had to rely on a relatively younger population of the Mediterranean to be able to withstand the burden of pensioners.

None of these measures, however, could be called popular for world government. In the past, in such situations, governments were deciding difficult to increase taxes or cut costs.

More often than not, deciding to reduce the real value of liabilities - inflation. In a short period of rule from an average of four years, much less elected politicians are willing to resort to unpopular measures, tax increases and austerity, rather than printing money, which would eventually be able to bring them another term in the managerial chair.

The real situation is, therefore, in favor of new debt and increased the gap between rich and poor. Almost half the world population, more than three billion people earn less than two dollars a day. On the other hand, the number of millionaires has exceeded 10 million.

According to the "Merrill Lynch" and "Kapgeminija" of the richest in the world increased last, crisis, was more than eight percent to nearly 11 million. Their wealth increased by nearly ten percent, reaching 42.7 billion dollars. The global population of ultra-rich has grown even more - over ten percent, and their wealth by 11 percent.

The credit system was initially silent supporter of the reservoir basin in the hands of individuals or joint capital. Then it becomes a weapon in the fight competitors, to be transformed into a mechanism of centralization of capital. Finally, when you get closer to the point where no one can create a shield of insolvency, he turns into a headache for the government and - to trigger social unrest.


TRIP DEBT

DEBT trap in which our world was established through the step by step, according to President Ellen Brown Institute of Banking. The first set was the 1971st year, when the dollar is no longer associated with the gold surface. Currencies are no longer tied to gold were left to "float" in the money market, competing with each other, which made them vulnerable to speculation and manipulation. Next occurred the 1973rd , when the OPEC countries reached agreement on the sale of oil in dollars, the price of black gold has increased significantly. To 1974. The price of oil rose 400 percent from the 1971st year, a country that is not were forced to borrow dollars from U.S. banks.

Then, in 1981. U.S. Central Bank raised interest rates to 20 percent. The debt has doubled in less than four years, with much of the world steeped in debt. To 2001. debt of developing countries has quadrupled. When would be unable to repay debts, the IMF has jumped in with loans, with special measures, which included cuts in social spending, privatization of banks, opening markets to foreign investors, "floating" currencies. Today, these measures do not impose only developing countries but also the European Union and the United States.


Top of the Pyramid

Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Basel by the 1930th was established by banks of Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Britain and a group of banks from the U.S., currently has 55 members and the head of the global financial pyramid, according to Professor Carroll Kigli in his book "Tragedy and Hope". April 2009. Group G 20 most developed countries agreed to the regulations set by the board whose seat is in the BIS. Although this is only the BIS guidelines, countries that do not comply follows, credit rating downgrade, which is a very high price.

Towards a global crisis BIS urged member states to increase their capital by two percent. Japanese banks have now got into a recession, while the U.S. tried to avoid the "packaging" loans into securities sold to investors. Almost everyone could get a loan, and loans are significantly enlarge. When people are no longer able to repay them, banking activities are notified and stock market fell, raising the crisis.

It spilled over into Europe. EU's response was that the member countries no longer borrow from their banks or print money, but to lend to the private international European Central Bank or the IMF. Thus, the private banks gained greater international power.
