PARADIGM SHIFT-GUILLERMO RIGONDEAUX

Athlete boxer  par excellence, 2 time Olympic Gold Medalist, 2 time belt holder at 122 pounds in professional boxing putting on a boxing clinic defeating Nonito Donaire 2012 fighter of the year.
The fight was held in Manhattan New York at the world famous Radio City Music Hall.
Rigondeaux was too fast and too skilled for Donaire in a fight that I scored 117-111 for the Rigondeaux.
I always felt that Donaire was a good fighter but always carefully matched against opponents that were usually to old or too underpowered to give Donaire a good fight. These type of fighters always allowed Donaire to show his offense and punching power in the best light and made Donaire highly marketable.

MY HYPOTHESIS CHALLENGED

My hypothesis is that oil being priced in Dollars is a major component of the Dollar being the reserve currency of the world, not the only component of this phenomena my gut feeling without empirical study is that it  about 33.33 percent of it.

I would say that the recycling of dollars by OPEC(etc)  buying US bonds helps support the bond market/stock market, and less so the buying of weapons as important components of this concept  which I think especially the bond market aspect of it allows the US to borrow more money to run it’s government and  creates virtuous circles in several areas.
I believe systems are made up of many components and can not be defined by one thing but rather systems are made up of many interrelated moving parts. although it is possible to point out important aspects or major elements of a system like the pricing of oil in dollars relationship to the dollar as the reserve currency of the world.

My hypothesis was challenged by a customer in the cab. It turns out to be a good thing as I will read more about this theory of mine and flesh it out later.
My cab customer thought it was irrelevant what currency oil was priced in.

If any of you have an opinion as to whether the pricing of oil in dollars is relevant or not to the Dollar as reserve currency please post your opinion in comments section.

China attempted breakout Gwadar Pakistan

China trying to break out of US containment in Gadwar, and in South China sea, on China’s Eastern flank the US is using Japan as proxy to contain China.

If China breaks out at Gawdar in Pakistan though you got a game changer going on.


For the moment the US has China almost completely geographically contained except for on the Russian side of China. US navy still controls the seas, controls all choke points at Strait Malacca etc. China is trying to break out also in the South China Sea and Senkaku Islands but ;
China going for a game changer at the port of Gwadar Pakistan, which creates a port and a potentially overland path from China to energy rich Middle East.
At the same time Iran is talking of building a pipeline to the  port to Gawdar.

Side note US has reinflated economy for now through Quantitative easing, allowing ruling cliques to keep control, and working class to limp along in a painful manner of being squeezed by lower pay, higher inflation for essentials and cutting of government support for certain services used by the working class.

US working on developing LNG (liquid natural gas) for export to keep Europe from integrating and being controlled by Russia. US was going to use Nabbuco pipeline but now it looks more expedient to use American natural gas to this end.

US trying to create TPP to go with more muscular posture against China.

All the while trying to create a new trade zone with the EU to strengthen Atlantic partnership between the US and Western Europe.

Ancient Adversary. The Flu Virus.

Epigenetic -changes of altered DNA that are passed down.

Cytokines-cause body ache when you have the flu.

Symbiotic Ancient adversary. The flu virus.Relationship with humans like booze and dogs.

My flu has come back for about 4 days now.  Put me in the slowdown mode while I take Acetaminophen and sleep to try and mitigate the effects of this terrible thing we call the flu.

I wonder if these mild flu’s help to keep our beautiful immune systems in good shape?

There is a whole world of evolutionary science related to fungi, and viruses, and their relationships to humans..hmm very interesting.

My wild hunch is that interest rates are going to rise soon.

My wild hunch with no empirical data other than that prices of food and gas are going way up. Is that the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States is going to late interest rates rise in the near future.

Cab industry being revolutionized by smart phone technology.

The cab industry in San Francisco is being revolutionized by smart phone technology, as companies like Uber, Flywheel, and others change the way people order cabs.
People are now ordering cabs and other transportation services like limos and "shared rides" by smart phones which are cutting out cab company distribution systems and city regulations.
The way it stands right now why should some one pay 300,000 for a cab medallion when they can buy a black car for 10,000 dollars and go into business using a smart phone distribution system to find business.
