Australian Dollar building up for a repeat of 2008 crash? The Australian Dollar rates against almost every Currency are historically speaking very strong at present, sitting just below parity against the US Dollar and at over .72 against the Euro.The last time the Australian Dollar saw such steady gains was before the market crashed with the economic recession in the back end of 2008. With strong exports (primarily resources and agriculture) and high interest rates the Aussie Dollar gained, reaching very attractive rates against most majors.

Lebanon is the historic home of the Phoenicians, Semitic traders whose maritime culture flourished there for more than 2,000 years. The region was a territory of the Roman Empire and during the Middle Ages was involved in the Crusades. It was then taken by the Ottoman Empire. Following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after World War I, the League of Nations mandated the five provinces that make up present-day Lebanon to France. Modern Lebanon's constitution, drawn up in 1926, specified a balance of political power between the various religious groups. Lebanon has a lively arts scene, both traditional and contemporary. The national dance, the dabke, is an energetic folk dance. Classical belly dancing still plays an important role at weddings, representing the transition from virgin bride to sensual woman, and is also popular in nightclubs. Traditional Arabic music is created using un-harmonized melodies and complex rhythms, often accompanied by sophisticated, many-layered singing. Instruments used include the loud, a pear-shaped string instrument; the tabla, a clay, wood or metal and Tskin percussion instrument; the nay, a single reed, open-ended pipe with a lovely mellow...more
