Libya takes out a full page ad in the New York Times: Open for business!

Global Economies: Libya/ NY Times special advertising supplement

Roman ruins such as the ancient city of Leptis Magna could help make Libya highly marketable as a tourist destination.

INTRODUCTION
Privatization leads the way to take-off
The years of isolation are at an end following the lifting of sanctions and, as U.S. dollars flood back into the oil sector, Libya is liberalizing its economy in a bid to relaunch itself in the global marketplace.

PRIVATIZATION
Offloading state firms will broaden the base of ownership
Libyans get the chance to run their own businesses as public firms move to the private sector.

TOURISM
A land of ancient civilizations and desert
During the years of isolation, Libya was more or less closed to Western tourists. Today, visitor numbers although still relatively small are increasing rapidly, and tourism is the most promising sector outside the oil industry.

ìSteel is the future: we have good prices and a great export potentialî
A state-run enterprise attracting considerable interest as it awaits privatization is the Engineering Industries Company, which manufactures products ranging from steel structures and transmission line towers to barbed wire and nails.

TRANSPORT
Getting shipshape for expansion
shipping Libyaís maritime authorities are preparing for an increase in both cargo and cruise passengers now sanctions have been lifted.

Airport expansion will handle increasing traffic
LIBYAís airports are to be expanded and modernized. Tripoli International Airport is to get a new terminal, and a completely new airport is to be built at Libyaís second largest city, Benghazi.

INDUSTRY
Steelmaker moves from strength to strength
Lisco profits from rising demand at home and abroad and seeks partners with technological know-how to help it upgrade its facilities.

Major projects will build the economy
Boom times lie ahead for the construction industry as Libya builds the infrastructure it needs for a new era of economic expansion.

Delivery firm has the right prescription
Private companies have been allowed to import and distribute pharmaceuticals and medical equipment in Libya since last year, opening up a multi-million dollar market.

Libya has decided to join the world economy and reap the benefits, rather than cast his lot in with the Jihadis. Khadaffi's crazy, but not THAT crazy! Now that Khaddafi is taking concrete steps away from terrorism and seeking WMD's, the sanctions have been lifted, and Libya's economy is poised to grow.

Insulin Resistance- cause of ADD, diabetes, narcolepsy, etc etc

Insulin Resistance Insulin Resistance Have you been diagnosed with clinical depression? Heart disease? Type II, or adult, diabetes? Narcolepsy? Are you, or do you think you might be, an alcoholic? Do you gain weight around your middle in spite of faithfully dieting? Are you unable to lose weight? Does your child have ADHD? If you have any one of these symptoms, I wrote this article for you. Believe it or not, the same thing can cause all of the above symptoms. I am not a medical professional. I am not a nutritionist. The conclusions I have drawn from my own experience and observations are not rocket science. A diagnosis of clinical depression is as ordinary as the common cold today. Prescriptions for Prozac, Zoloft, Wellbutrin, etc., are written every day. Genuine clinical depression is a very serious condition caused by serotonin levels in the brain. I am not certain, however, that every diagnosis of depression is the real thing. My guess is that about 10 percent of the people taking ...

Could Narcolepsy be caused by gluten? :: Kitchen Table Hypothesis

Kitchen Table Hypothesis from www.zombieinstitute.net - Heidi's new site It's commonly known that a severe allergy to peanuts can cause death within minutes. What if there were an allergy that were delayed for hours and caused people to fall asleep instead? That is what I believe is happening in people with Narcolepsy. Celiac disease is an allergy to gliadin, a specific gluten protein found in grains such as wheat, barley and rye. In celiac disease the IgA antigliadin antibody is produced after ingestion of gluten. It attacks the gluten, but also mistakenly binds to and creates an immune reaction in the cells of the small intestine causing severe damage. There is another form of gluten intolerance, Dermatitis Herpetiformis, in which the IgA antigliadin bind to proteins in the skin, causing blisters, itching and pain. This can occur without any signs of intestinal damage. Non-celiac gluten sensitivity is a similar autoimmune reaction to gliadin, however it usually involves the...

Blue-blocking Glasses To Improve Sleep And ADHD Symptoms Developed

Blue-blocking Glasses To Improve Sleep And ADHD Symptoms Developed Scientists at John Carroll University, working in its Lighting Innovations Institute, have developed an affordable accessory that appears to reduce the symptoms of ADHD. Their discovery also has also been shown to improve sleep patterns among people who have difficulty falling asleep. The John Carroll researchers have created glasses designed to block blue light, therefore altering a person's circadian rhythm, which leads to improvement in ADHD symptoms and sleep disorders. […] How the Glasses Work The individual puts on the glasses a couple of hours ahead of bedtime, advancing the circadian rhythm. The special glasses block the blue rays that cause a delay in the start of the flow of melatonin, the sleep hormone. Normally, melatonin flow doesn't begin until after the individual goes into darkness. Studies indicate that promoting the earlier release of melatonin results in a marked decline of ADHD symptoms.
