Happy Full Buck Moon 2022: What You Need to Know About July's Full Moon
The third supermoon of 2022 will grace the night sky on Wednesday. It's also known as a buck moon because it falls in July. The name doesn't come from its appearance — you won't see the shape of a buck on the moon's surface or anything. Instead, it refers to something that's happening in nature. "The full Moon in July is called the Buck Moon because the antlers of male deer (bucks) are in full-growth mode at this time," as The Old Farmer's Almanac says. "Bucks shed and regrow their antlers each year, producing a larger and more impressive set as the years go by." *What is a superm... read more

Soaring Temperatures in Devastates Kashmir Farmers
Srinagar, Indian Kashmir, Jul 13 (IPS) - The soaring temperatures this year in India’s northern state of Kashmir are proving calamitous for the region’s farming community.

The Blair government knew that dealing with post-war Iraq would be a huge challenge.

Energy: the recession trigger?
There is confusion among mainstream economists and policy-makers on whether the major economies are heading for a recession, or are already in a recession; or will avoid one altogether. The majority view, at least in the US, is the latter. This optimistic view argues that, while inflation rates are high, they will start to fall over the next year, enabling the Federal Reserve to avoid hiking its policy interest rates too much to the point where it could restrict investment and spending. At the same time, the US unemployment rate is very low and the ‘labour market’ remains strong.... read more

How the Fed ended the last great American inflation — and how much it hurt
American economist and chair of the Federal Reserve Paul Volcker testifies before the House Banking Committee in Washington, DC, on February 19, 1986. | Mark Reinstein/Corbis via Getty Images Forty years ago, the Fed pushed the economy into a recession to stop inflation. Here’s how it played out. For decades, the polling company Gallup has been asking Americans to list the most important problem in their country. Many of the answers are vague: 19 percent of Americans in May told Gallup that “the government” or “poor leadership” is the most important problem facing the US. Others r... read more
