How bad is it going to get for the offshore industry? How long with OPEC keep up their strategy to destroy all other oil production?
Offshore industry was waining before land rig count started to decline. Cost to operate those ships is astronomical, so it makes sense for those to be hit the hardest.
It's gonna get worse before it get better fo sho

The only reason OPEC was winning the oil economic war was because the United States foolishly banned exporting oil. They just lifted it, but it's hard to tell if it's too late or not.

>The security community is particularly alarmed because at least one of the backdoors appears to be the work of a sophisticated nation-state attacker.

That took them 30 years to realize?!
So /fit/ and their "bear mode" is a load of bullshit?
>>10758
Bear mode is different.
True bear modes look fat but they have a lower BF % than the average man. If you look at a lot of powerlifters, for example, they have a big gut but no rolls. SOME muscle is also usually able to be seen, mostly around the shoulder/arm area. It's not exactly healthy, but pro powerlifters would be lowering the amount of weight they'd be able to move if they ever cut.

>advertising campaigns that lean towards using “plus-size” models are having a “detrimental” effect on the public’s lifestyle and eating behavior.
> the reason for the poor health choices are because of the use of reassuring slogans such as “real” and “normal” next to “plus-size” models.
study found that when participants are shown images of "plus-sized" models with slogans saying the models are "real" or "normal", those participants made worse food and exercise choices.
Surprisingly, it looks like normalizing obesity has the effect of normalizing obesity. Showing fatties as the ideal encourages people to aspire to be fat.

Oh wow and it was one study.
My original statements stand.
"The Law and Justice party, which took power last month, controls both houses of Parliament and the presidency, leaving the constitutional court as the only effective check on its power. The government recently has moved to stack the court with its supporters, and plans legislation that would essentially make the court unable to work."

Welcome to 2009 Romania.
>>10511
The constitutional court is a joke, it has no power to overrule laws established by the parliament. It was all a slick plan made by the ex-gov who knew they will get destroyed in October elections.
In June, just four months before the election, they came up with a plan-create a fourth pillar of power that would question every reform applied by new government, effectively stopping any changes deemed unnecessary by EU. Too bad Jarosław (leader of the ruling party Law and Justice) has a Doctor of Law and knows the rules like the back of his hand. He will not only stand his ground, but eventually, when the time comes, hit back at the corrupt, so called "pro European"(aka pro Berlin) opposition that believes "Poland exists only theoretically"(this is an actual quote of the former Minister of Foreign Affairs).

The World Bank has approved a $1.5 billion loan to support an Indian government program to improve sanitation by 2019.
The Clean India Mission "aims to end open defecation, achieve open defecation free communities, and improve the management of liquid and solid waste" by providing toilets to rural areas.
"In rural India, three out of five people suffer the indignity of defecating in the open," the World Bank said in a statement Wednesday. "Girls and women have to venture out before dawn or after dark leaving them vulnerable to harassment."
The project "will result in significant health benefits for the poor and vulnerable, especially those living in rural areas,” said Ohno Ruhl, World Bank country director for India.
The funds will also be used to support India's Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation.
The World Bank says one in every 10 deaths in India is linked to poor sanitation.

http://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/Basic-Goods-Suspiciously-Begin-to-Appear-in-Venezuela-Stores--20151214-0018.html
basic products have begun to appear on the shelves of stores in Venezuela.
Through social media, people in Venezuela have begun to denounce the suspicious reappearance of some staple goods in some markets following the Dec. 6 elections.
The social media users have indicated that the sudden reappearance of these goods and the fact that they have expired dates on them expose that there have been no issues with production, but rather with distribution, which many right-wing business people control.
They also said the reappearance of certain products is evidence of the economic war the U.S. and the political opposition in Venezuela launched to destabilize the country and which was denounced on many occasions by the socialist government of President Nicolas Maduro.
The reactions on social media have included photos of the reappearance of previously “missing” products and demands to the government asking them to take the necessary legal measures against those responsible for hoarding and the economic war.
In some tweets, social media users note the link between food company Heinz and the economic war, as the U.S. food processing firm announced it would begin production again after months of inactivity.
Recently, Maduro ordered an investigation into Heinz after workers at the company's plant in the central state of Carabobo reported that although the food processor was fully operational, the owners were refusing to produce certain goods.
On Saturday, the leader of the Heinz workers' union, Hernan Garcia, said that after various months of failed attempts to sign a collective contract with the company on Dec. 9 they finally achieved their objectives and that they would begin working again.
This fact has been considered by many Venezuelans as evidence that Heinz participated in the economic war.
>>10197
Adriana Marcely Pedroso, spokesperson for Heinz in Latin America, said the company would not comment on the matter, saying, “Heinz will not take a position about this subject.”
Street vendor Rene Holanda commented on teleSUR that the opposition has always resorted to “punishing the stomach of the people to blame the government for shortages. But also the gringos (U.S. government) have blocked the commercialization of raw materials and products.”
Most comments regarding the reappearance of basic foods blame the United States for interfering in Venezuela and depriving the people of basic foods in order to push forward its political agenda, which is likely linked to the country's resources, such as oil.
“I don't believe the industrialists conspired alone against the Venezuelan people ... that help was more than likely from the United States,” said Silbano Pita.
You know, this doesn't seem all that surprising although does show a new angle of "attack" by the same old vanguard whose interests are on the line. At least it's better than U.S trained death squads firing against unionist and so on, as its "capitalistic miracle" neighbor Colombia.
