A Column of Catholic Orientation
The Feminization of the Church
and Vatican II
Marian T. Horvat, Ph.D.
There has been much talk of late about a long-observable fact: the feminization of the Catholic Church. My friend Jan was quite impressed with the term and thought it accurately expressed the reality.
ōI went to a Catholic church downtown yesterday,ö she said, ōand really, it was all women on the altar ¢ except for the priest. At Communion four ladies ¢ three in pants ¢went to the side altar to pick up the chalices. The song leader was sensuous, in a blouse showing cleavage, waving her arms like a traffic cop. Only a few women in the pews were singing along. All the altar boys were girls.ö
The Mass service invaded by women and girls in Linz, Austria
According to the National Pastoral Life Center (NPLC), today there are more lay ministers than priests working in Catholic parishes: that is, 31,000 lay ministers to 29,000 diocesan priests. It notes that this ōrevolution in ministryö has meant a ōstronger lay, feminine dimensionö in the Church. (1)
Quite correctly stated. Almost every parish across the country uses scores of lay eucharistic and song ministers, lectors, and altar servers for its various Masses. Then, there are the liturgists, youth ministers, social concerns directors, adult education coordinators and other professional pastoral positions that never existed before Vatican II. Lay ministers make most of the pastoral visits to the sick and prisoners. And roughly 80 % of these positions are held by women. The NPLC predicts that the overall pattern indicates the bulk of positions will continue to be filled by women. (2)
Parishes have become ōfeminized,ö the NPLC report continues, not only because many lay ministers are women, but also because parish ministry has become more collaborative and concerned with nurturing. This ōfeminineö spirit is to replace, I suppose, a ōmasculineö spirit which is more akin with hierarchy and institution.
In short, todayÆs parish minister is more like to be a layperson ¢ and a woman. And increasingly, women are on the altar doing almost everything ¢ including preaching.
The easily discerned cause
To understand the cause for this feminization, Jan decided to read a book on the topic by the reportedly conservative Catholic Leon J. Podles entitled
The Church Impotent: The Feminization of Christianity.
But, she reported to me, the book didnÆt seem to really explain how things had changed so radically in so short a time. She asked my opinion.
Podles identifies the problem: an altar overrun by women, songs written to please a womanÆs sentiments (ōYou are my everything,ö etc.), an ethos of pacifism and self-surrender, all of which serves to render the men who still frequent the churches passive and emasculated.
A young woman in a sweat shirt distributes Communion without seriousness.
, a woman-cantor directs the singing at the Mass
But he doesnÆt even get close to the nail when he tries to hit the cause for the calamity.
Quite extravagantly Podles places the principal responsibility for this process of feminization on St. Bernard of Clairvaux, the rise of scholasticism and the expansion of female monasticism. His rationale for such fantastic claims is simply too complicated to enter into here. There is convoluted twisting and turning through Platonic influences and Aristotelian dichotomies.
In the end he never finds the simple solution to the present-day astonishing crisis of the feminization of the Catholic Church. He fails to see the obvious, that this process is a direct consequence of Vatican Council II.
In the United States today, 45 years after Vatican II, 31,000 lay persons plan liturgies, direct the music groups, schedule the lectors and run the education programs for adults, engaged couples and children; four-fifths of these ecclesial ministers are women. Before Vatican II, most of those jobs did not exist; less than 1 % of these jobs were filled by lay people. (3) Before Vatican II the average parish lay woman were most likely to be found in the Altar Society or Holy Name Society. Today, almost 50 % of all administrative positions in dioceses are held by women.
Before Vatican Council II, Catholic men frequented the Sacraments, took family responsibilities seriously and filled the seminaries. After Vatican Council II, the churches emptied, the divorce rate skyrocketed, and the sacristy was overrun with women. A kind of effeminate man attracted by the New Theology entered the seminaries, and the virile ethos of the Church grew fainter and fainter. It is no wonder not only men, but also many women, are leaving the Catholic Church today or no longer assist at Sunday Mass.
Vatican II opened the doors to a lay, feminine church
At the 40-year anniversary of the closing of Vatican II, a spate of analysis of the CouncilÆs fruit flooded the Catholic press. I do not know of a single one that failed to underscore the new lay ministry as one of the significant marks of the CouncilÆs legacy. Of course, that lay component is mostly women.
John Paul II posing with altar girls
Ministry transformation as part of the Church renewal is based in particular on the teachings of Lumen Gentium, the Constitution on the Church, which encourages the laypersonÆs active participation in the liturgy. It also presents the Catholic Church as a communion of baptized believers with a call to ministry, which sounds an awful lot to me like the heretical Protestant statement that ōevery man is a priest.ö
The result has been the multiplication of lay ministries, with lay men and women replacing clerics in numerous church positions.
It is clear to the objective onlooker these three things are necessarily enchained:
The Clergy is increasingly less numerous and more absent;
Lay people are ever more present and taking over clerical tasks;
Women are taking over the majority of the lay ecclesiastical jobs.
No sign of change
I wish I could tell my friend Jan that I see positive signs of a less femininized Church in the future. But I canÆt.
Women and girls in the liturgy during Benedict XVI's visit to Bavaria
Pope Benedict XVI made it clear from the first day of his election that Vatican II will be the ōcompassö of his papacy. The compass, of course sets direction. (4) With regard to women and lay ministries, all his actions indicate he will continue the effort to empower women in the Church in all ways short of sacramental ordination.
By the end of John Paul IIÆs pontificate, women were 21 % of Vatican personnel. (5) Benedict XVI has stated that he would like ōto offer more space, more positions of responsibility to womenö and affirmed that he would consider opening more influential Church positions to women. (6) Following JPIIÆs model, he speaks often of the human dignity of the person, decries every kind of ōdiscriminationö against women, and proclaims the need for equality of opportunity in the public sphere.
Among the Bishops, one finds this same concern to increase womenÆs visibility in the Church. Here is one recent example. At the February 2008 Bishops Conference in India, the Prelates made ōwomenÆs empowerment in the church and societyö a high item on the agenda to correct the problem of womenÆs under-representation in administrative and executives roles in the Church. They voted to set quotas, requiring that at least 35 % of members and office bearers in parish and diocesan pastoral councils should be women. The quota will grow gradually until women get at least 50% of positions. (7)
The position of resistance Catholics should adopt is more than a mere ōnostalgiaö for the old ways of worship. We have an obligation to resist this feminization of the Holy Church.

Over the last 2 months the number of calls to me from people looking for spare parts for Bicycle Engines bought from other sellers has increased dramatically.
This is just a note clarifying the all bicycle engines are not built equally in the same factories or even the same continent. Although most 2-stroke bicycle engines have similar external features, many of the internal components differ radically depending on the brand, factory, country of origin and quality level.
I stand over our kits as incredibly reliable and well worth the extra €50/100 in comparison to some other cheap, lesser quality engines. I try to look after everyone who looks for parts, even if they didn't buy their bicycle engine kit from us, but my advice is to spend more time looking for the best engine rather than the cheapest engine.

They say the first year of marriage is the hardest, and now we'll have video proof: In April, MTV cameras will begin following every move of recently wed pop stars Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson in preparation for a new reality show about the young couple.
''It's a look into the lives of Jessica and I -- our daily life and our professional life,'' says 98° singer Lachey, who had some reservations about doing the show. ''It's definitely an adjustment I'm going to have to make. There's going to have to be a line drawn -- what we're willing to have the audience see.''
Simpson seems far more enthusiastic about the project, which she believes will debut in August (MTV declined to comment). ''It's going to be awesome! People are going to get to see us as a couple -- how normal we are and how normal we're not. We're honeymooners, so we're thinking about calling it either 'The Newlyweds' or 'The Honeymooners.''' Um, sweetie, that last title was taken in 1955.

The 2011 Esquire Car Awards

Sport Sedan of the Year: 2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe
Think about what the average man needs in a sports car. You want a trunk, a backseat, bodywork this side of Mr. Responsible ... no, wait: That's a sport sedan, what you buy if you like speed but can't have anyone knowing it.
So there's no sense in making a sport sedan obvious. And yet the 335-hp BMW 1 Series M Coupe, a Bavarian bruiser that pulses with anger, wears its triple-digit heart on its sleeve. Witness the fat fenders and gaping air intakes, items usually found in balls-out motor sport, or the available clown-shoe-orange metallic paint. Oddly, they fit. The limited-edition 1M is meant to salute the championship-winning 1988 91 BMW M3, the overt, bewinged legend that built BMW's modern reputation. That beast was a diehard's special, a racer in street clothes, and so is this. Insane road manners come standard you don't get a sunroof or a bunch of cushy options, just a tire-incinerating, twin-turbo straight six and blitzkrieg suspension sharp enough to shave concrete. Toss this speed grenade onto a bumpy on-ramp with the stability control off and you spend the corner playing hero, lion-taming the chassis and fighting to get out alive. That kind of raw thrill doesn't grow on trees, and certainly not with four seats and for under 50 grand.

Reinstalling an Upgrade version of W7.
I'm quite keen on purchasing an Upgrade version of Windows 7. I understand that the installation process first verifies whether I have a legit version of Vista/XP before it commits to installing W7. Therefore, I have 2 questions relating to this:
1) Will my copy of Vista be deactivated after the upgrade to W7?
2) Is it possible to perform a reinstallation of W7 in the future?
I'm particularly concerned about Question 2 because the reinstallation means I won't have a copy of Vista/XP installed -- and my Vista serial key may be deactivated so I won't be able to install Vista as a prerequisite to W7.
I've searched online for answers already but most of the results were written during the W7 beta phase and may now be outdated. Some of the answers were also contradictory or very vague so I thought it best to ask the questions afresh.
Sorry for my ignorance and thanks for your time,
|My System Specs
|30 Oct 2009
XP, Seven, 2008R2
Since you can do a clean or custom install with the upgrade media, you don't even need the prior OS installed. So the answer to number 2 is Yes.
|My System Specs

Win7 x64 Ultimate SP1
Welcome aboard
The short answer to both question is yes.
There are several tutorials on those topics on this site.
|My System Specs
|30 Oct 2009
No, it doesn't deactivate your prior qualifying OS, but under the EULA you cannot use it any longer.
I recommend a clean install booting from the Win7 Upgrade installer, wiping the underlying OS by choosing Custom>Advanced tools>Delete all>Create new partition(s)>Format. The installer will have already read the qualifying OS when it scans after bootup allowing you to insert your key and activate.
Save your XP/VIsta product key in readable condition for the life of the Upgrade in case it should be needed during reinstall, in the very unlikely possiblity that reactivation would be elevated to a MS phone person.
Even better, never reinstall again by making a backup image in Win7 Backup center, stored externally, which can reimage the HDD (or a replacement) in 15 minutes from the Installer's Repair console.
|My System Specs
|30 Oct 2009
Thank you for your swift replies. You guys provide an invaluable service on this forum and I really appreciate it. I'll try not to be one of those who disappears and never posts again after finding the solution to his problem; hopefully I can stick around and help impart some knowledge on another ignorant fool.
|My System Specs
|30 Oct 2009
Yes, I create a primary formatted Recovery Image partition on each of my computers, have WIndows 7 Backup save the image there (it immediately detects it as drive), then copy it to an external backup in case of HDD failure.
You can even schedule the excellent WIn7 Backup Center to refresh that image and save other files of your choice on a schedule, or when the computer is idle.
|My System Specs
|30 Oct 2009
Thanks gregrocker, I'll do that as well. Just one last question: What's the usual size of your backup partition?
I was also curious about whether the backup image is being exploited for piracy, but I suppose the image is hardware-dependent so it couldn't really be passed on with much efficiency.
Thanks again,
|My System Specs
|30 Oct 2009
What I do is select "Create an image" and have it auto-detect my available drives for saving the image. THen I click DVD drive just to see how much space it wants, go into Disk Management to create and format a Primary partition of that size, then go back to the Image creator and refresh (with the drop down menu) the Drives detected and tell it to save there.
It takes about 20 minutes to save, then offers to make a System Repair disk which has the same repair console that is on your Installer disk, and also accessible in the 100mb boot/repair partition (if you have it) by tapping F8 at startup. I just use my Installer.

PRICE Blinder 1 $29.95 USD
PRICE Blinder 4 $44.95 USD
The Knog Blinder 4 has four bright LED lights that provide ample light to use as your every day lights. The Knog Blinder 1, with just one LED, provides "be seen" light and can be used as a backup. Both models are secured by flexible silicone straps. USB-rechargeable. Available in many different colors and designs to match your bike.
These lights are easy to attach to handlebars and seat posts and when not in use are small enough to throw in your bag. Fun and bright, these lights are rechargeable with an integrated USB connector.
It would be great if these lights had a way of attaching to a rear rack. For shorter riders, seat posts are not extended high enough to allow the light to be seen with a rear rack. The test models I used had a subtle charge indicator light that made it hard to tell when the charge was running out. For more recent models, Knog has increased the visibility of the charge light. I also found when I was charging the lights they took up quite a bit of real estate on the side of my laptop, but Knog's new lights will come with a USB extension cable which also solve this issue.
The Knog Blinder is my removable bike light of choice for it's sharp design and user friendliness. While battery life was okay, I'd consider purchasing a back-up pair of Blinder 1 front and rear lights that you can keep handy for times when you didn't leave yourself enough charge to ride home.

MY PET HELLHOUND is a short animation currently in pre-production. It tells the story of a misunderstood hellhound and his unlikely friendship with an imaginative tomboy. Here's a sneak peek at the storyboards by artist Vincent Lee:
Extinctly Delicious follows the time travels of a chef, a scientist, a robot, and a genetically engineered hamster. It is currently being co-produced by a British producer/director and myself. Short script Extinctly Delicious was a winning script at the 2012 London Lift-Off Film Festival. It was performed live by a group of actors at the festival. Here they are at rehearsal. In a graveyard. The exciting outcome of this is that I am partnering with an English Director/Producer to bring the script to life as a short animation. Check out the very first sketches of Kepples, the "hamster." Character design by Kelly Matten. Stay tuned for more news!

Please enjoy this short story, written sometime in the early 2000s. So long ago… The End of Stephen Patient By Kristen Bobst And so it began in the typical way that any other day would have and continued in that general manner. It was no unusual day in the least—that is of course with the somewhat disconcerting exception that this happened to be day that Stephen Patient would die. He seemed–and in fact was–totally unaware of this seemingly important fact as he walked to work that morning. Thus not at all surprising was the typical way in which he smoked his first–but not quite last–cigarette of the day. (There would be time for three more). Also, it is worth mentioning that smoking would have nothing at all to do with the death of this seemingly healthy, moderately successful, and generally–as some might have been overheard saying–"plucky" young individual. Actually Stephen Patient had never really evidenced much active interest in smoking. He merely picked up the habit when he'd begun writing his novel a few years ago. His suspicion was that the "process" of smoking would help with the "problem" of inspiration. With that in mind, it is not hard to imagine that Stephen Patient wasn't actually a very good writer at all. However, he wasn't a fool. So as a credit to his humility, he'd abruptly ended his cliché, predictable novel halfway through the second chapter, but had only quit smoking when his own life met an abrupt and […]
Back in 2004, I wrote a [strange] poem. It was printed in The Mangrove Review, the now defunct literary magazine published by The University of Florida. Presented for your reading pleasure:

Glen Park Public School in Toronto, Ontario Canada by Taylor Smyth Architects.
Credit: Taylor Smyth Architects
This replacement school for 500 children, ranging from kindergarten through 5th grade, is located in a parklike setting on an eight-acre site, surrounded by single-family residences. A garden courtyard is the focal point around which the building is organized, designed to enrich the students' appreciation of the natural environment. A design team, comprising architects, teachers, parents, and area residents participated in a collaborative process of bi-weekly meetings to develop a list of Key Ideas and Principles, which were translated by the architectural team into the physical organization of the school.

Golfing in Cape Town
Think golf and South Africa and your first thoughts will probably be of one of the country's many well known championship courses: places like the Gary Player Golf Course at Sun City, or Garden Route landmarks such as Fancourt or Pezula. But Cape Town itself has several highly-rated courses – including the country's oldest – for golfers looking to test their skills without leaving the Mother City's 02 dial code.
Royal Cape Golf Club in Wynberg was founded in 1885 by Lieutenant-General Sir Henry D'Oyley Torrens, who convened a meeting within 11 days of arriving in the Fairest Cape "for the purpose of introducing the game of golf… in South Africa." Since then, Royal Cape's notorious par-4 14th has seen many golfers become better acquainted with their darker emotions.
There are several other courses across the city but few are more scenic than the Metropolitan Golf Course, a stone's throw from the V&A Waterfront at Mouille Point and, sitting in the shadow of Green Point Stadium, with spectacular views of Signal Hill and Table Mountain.
In the Northern Suburbs there is Bellville Golf Course, Durbanville Golf Course, Parow's King David Golf Course and Milnerton Golf Course. In the south of the Peninsula you'll find Mowbray Golf Course, Rondebosch Golf Course, Steenberg Golf Course in the lovely Constantia Valley, Westlake Golf Course, Clovelly Golf Course and Country Club, and the well kept secret of Simon's Town Golf Course's nine windswept holes.
Move into the equally scenic Cape Winelands and you'll find the 27-hole Paarl Golf Course (co-designed by Tour veteran and local resident David Frost) and nearby Pearl Valley Golf Course (designed by multiple Major winner Jack Nicklaus, with 81 ball-swallowing bunkers).
Erinvale Golf Course in Somerset West is part of the growing number of lifestyle estates, and features a Gary Player-designed course within a pitching wedge distance of its hotel and spa. Similar estates (although they're each different in their own way) are found at Melkbosstrand's Atlantic Beach Golf Estate, Steenberg in the Constantia Valley, Milnerton's Sunset Links Residential Estate, Paarl's Pearl Valley, and Stellenbosch's Devonvale Golf and Wines Estate.
Stellenbosch is also home to Stellenbosch Golf Course and De Zalze Golf Course, while Strand hosts Greenways and the Strand Golf Course. Hermanus, the coastal town well known for its whale watching, is around the corner at Walker Bay and has its own scenic Hermanus Golf Course.
Between Hermanus and Strand you'll find the Arabella Golf Course near Kleinmond, which for the past decade has hosted the Nelson Mandela Invitational pro-am charity event, featuring pros like Ernie Els, Retief Goosen and Lee Westwood alongside amateurs like Samuel L. Jackson.
So which Cape Town golf courses are the best? According to the local Golf Digest (which ranked Fancourt number 1 for 2010/11), Pearl Valley (3) and Arabella (5) are among South Africa's Top 10, while De Zalze (29), Steenberg (34), Royal Cape (41) and Hermanus (43) feature in the nationwide Top 50.
But between the green parklands of King David Golf Course, the invisible flag of Atlantic Beach's par-5 4th, the dog-leg par-5 of Clovelly's 10th, and the tear-your-hair-out frustration or joy of Durbanville's over-the-lake par-3 12th, there's much varied golf to be played in Cape Town.

Reviews Bymichael nowatney
Beer Reviews (28)
Restaurant Reviews (0)
The only employee that I interacted with was the bartender, and I thought he was a bit surly. I think he had an English accent, so maybe that makes this place "authentic"?
They have a website, I think they make some effort to update it. I clicked on "What's Happening Today" and it did have last Friday, which is more current than many websites; but it wasn't today. And the list of their beers was not 100%, they didn't have the Young's Double Chocolate Stout on draught.
I had a London Curry for dinner, I liked it quite a bit.
Overall, it's probably typical for an English pub in Texas, with some pros and some cons.
The food was good, the service was good. It's a Tuesday night, the atmosphere is fine with me. And they have free wifi, I am here now!
The food is good and the beer is decent, but the service is hit or miss. Some members of the waitstaff know nothing at all about beer.
However ... tonight they did not have the IPA, Pilsner, ESB, or Pale Bock :-(
Again, the food disappointed me. I had the chipotle quesadilla. The tortilla was burnt on the outside, and just didn't sit well with me.
And I thought the waitress I had was pretty rude, I have no idea why. In less that an hour, she had to "turn me over to the bartender", as if she couldn't stand me.
The American Pale Ale is still very good. The other styles I sampled are good as well.
As I said last time: "come for the beer".
The atmosphere is not typical. At night, it is very well lit for a bar. It is a very small place, so when they have a few customers, it is crowded; but it had a very friendly vibe to it.
Since it is small, the staff is minimal. I thought last night's guy was cool, very laid back, he handled everything in stride. Today at lunch, the lady here would probably rather be doing something else.
The food menu is somewhat limited. I tried the spinach quesadilla. It was good but not exciting.
Come for the beer!
(Also note that they do have free wifi, although they didn't advertise it. I'm there right now :-)
The food was good. I liked the soup a lot, the salad was salad, and the chicken vaquero was surprisingly plain.
The beer was good, I had a sampler and an IPA.
My server Rick D. was adequate, nothing more or less.
I'd say this place is worth a stop on your way from Dallas to Phoenix; it's very easy to get here from I-10.
The food was good, what they had of it. However, the service was terrible. Ordered a side of ranch dressing and had to request it two more times after the food came. Ordered a soup, inquired about it 1/2 hour later, and got "we're out of that". Ordered tonic water and got club soda. When she finally came around again, "we're out of tonic water". We were out of lemons for a while, but later in the evening they magically appeared.
I thought that the spicy sausages were greasy; the goulash was greasy and salty, the sourkraut was good; and the noodles were bland. The desserts were nothing special.
The food was fairly flavorless. My pork sandwich (the house specialty) was cold.
I had the spinach salad for dinner, it was pretty interesting. A lot of people have spinach salad because they are "health conscious" or vegetarians. Well, this spinach salad had bacon and lots of rib meat! (I'm not complaining, only describing.)
On this particular visit, the service was poor.
Was there on a Saturday night, not too late, but the kitchen had ran out of dough, so that eliminated 2/3 of the menu (pizza and calzones). I had a spinach salad, which I thought was fabulous.
Our particular server wasn't very attentive, and was overly familiar.

There are more than 49 million household traders in the United States and more than 12 million are online with 1 purpose—to make profits from FOREX and their investments and to take control of their future Software FOREX profiting and income.
Profiting from FOREX Online
What is the purpose of investing in FOREX?
To make money from FOREX! We have always said that the single greatest source for wealth is the FOREX. That in itself is a real tragedy, but what makes it worse is that many of these individual investors are approaching retirement; they do not have the luxury or the time to start rebuilding their retirement nest eggs. They are faced with some very harsh decisions. Well, let me tell you: It is never too late—you have to take action. if you don't, you will lose get Software FOREX.
The FOREX market, FOREX for short, is the spot market for currency. Don't get this market confused with the futures market, where you buy a contract to purchase currency at a future price in time. The spot market does not have time value associated with it; therefore, there are no deltas, thetas, or intrinsic value to worry about. Don't stop reading, because it gets real easy. In fact, in our opinion, this market is easier to trade than the stock market.
Profiting from FOREX market is where traders come to trade the U.S. dollar. Have you ever heard of Bank of America? It is one of the largest banks in the United States. Well, it uses the FOREX to diversify its portfolio, and so do numerous other banks – FOREX PROFITING!.
If this market is good enough for the big banks, it's good enough for you. This market was made available to the average investor in 1998, and it is one of the fastest growing markets in the world.
With daily volume of nearly 100 times that of the stock market and available to almost anyone in the world, it is almost mandatory for you to invest in this market to properly diversify your portfolio.
The FOREX profiting allows you to practice money management to its fullest, and because it is open 24 hours a day 6 days a week it doesn't see the same gap ups/downs, you never have to worry about your stop limit being skipped. Equally, the worry of companies posting false information and money managers or experts offering biased opinions will not have a large impact on a country's currency.
The FOREX trades currency pairs, which offers equal risk for short and long positions due to one of the currencies always having a bull side.
FOREX profiting has had a large impact on all the major banks, which are posting larger profits each year. Bank of America reported in its 2007 annual report a $530 million profit from FOREX revenue. Meanwhile, it reported only $384 million from equities and $86 million from commodities.
We will teach you how you can start to make a difference just by increasing your awareness of the FOREX and education about an alternative to the stock market, opening up hidden FOREX opportunities that have long been available to Fortune 1000 companies, big banks, and institutions.
As a foundation to what we are going to be talking about, let's look at the biggest FOREX profiting mistakes investors make, regardless of what market or what instrument they are trading.
Profiting from FOREX Online
WHY TRADE THE FOREX – We know to profit!
There are many benefits in trading the FOREX market. A few of them are:
Profiting from FOREX Online
FORWARD TRANSACTIONS to Profit from FOREX
While profit can turn into losses quickly, corporations have found it mandatory to enter into forward transactions, such as futures, swaps, and options.
Profiting from FOREX Online
Foreign currency forums are forward transactions. These transactions have standard contract sizes and maturity dates, for example, 1 million Japanese yen for next January at an agreed-on rate. These contracts are traded on a separate exchange set up for that purpose.
Profiting from FOREX Online
The most common type of forward transaction among corporations is the currency swap. In a swap, two parties exchange currencies for a certain length of time and agree to reverse the transaction at a later date. This will offset both corporations from exposure to the fluctuating market.
Profiting from FOREX Online
Currency options can efficiently lower a corporation's currency risk because they are custom tailored to the specifications of the corporation. The corporation is able to determine the amount of currency being hedged, the length of the option, and the degree of exposure to market fluctuations.
A currency option is an insurance policy for a corporation in which it determines the deductible, length of the policy, and coverage. The advantages of hedging with options include

Qatar Airways is joining forces with carriers like American Airlines and British Airways as part of a global alliance.
The agreement is expected to cut costs for Qatar Airways, and promises to deliver benefits for frequent fliers in and out of the US.
The Oneworld alliance may make sense for airlines particularly those struggling with rising fuel costs and shrinking profits, but critics say there is a downside for travelers as well as airline employees.
Pilots in the US have voiced concern at the deal saying, the agreement will put their jobs at risk.

Improvements in Vibroseis operations through advancements in land acquisition technologies and techniques by equipment manufacturers offer substantial benefits to geophysical service operators and E&P companies. Increased surface sampling in a cost effective manner becomes more obtainable by using High Productivity Vibroseis (HPVS) techniques. These techniques used with high-channel count acquisition systems are ideal for the Middle East. E&P companies such as Petroleum Development of Oman (PDO) stand to gain the most from these techniques since they seek to lower their acquisition costs on a per-square-kilometer basis.
