  Crises
So crises have come to be regarded not only as an essential concomitant of care, but often as the object of it and, hence, care is pursued in these instances with the production of crises as the desired end, never doubting that this is the most feasible way of acquiring health.
There is no doubt that crises do occur in getting well of chronic diseases; but, so far as our observations go, they are not as frequent, not as orderly in their assumed retrogressive occurrence and not so absolutely necessary to recovery as the hydropaths contended.
If we exclude the forced crises that were so common under the heroic processes of hydropathy and think only of those spontaneous crises that occasionally arise in the course of disease, whether one is being treated or not, both views are the same.

Closely related to the question of arbitrary crises is "contagion", the phenomenon in which a currency crisis in one country often seems to trigger crises in other countries which which it seemingly has only weak economic links (e.g., Mexico and Argentina, or Thailand and the Philippines).
The currency crises of the 1990s have consisted of three regional "waves": the ERM crises in Europe from 1992-3, the Latin American crises of 1994-5, and the Asian crises currently in progress.
In the European crises of 1992-3, there was an element of competitive devaluation: depreciation of the pound adversely affected the trade and employment of France, or at least was perceived to do so, and thus increased the pressures on the French government to abandon its own commitment to a fixed exchange rate.

 FRBSF: Economic Letter - How Do Currency Crises Spread? (8/28/98)
One explanation is that currency crises tend to spread through a region because countries are linked by trade, and trade tends to be regional.
Both models suggest that currency crises will be regional if economic conditions are regional, i.e., a crisis may spread among countries in the same region if they exhibit similar macroeconomic and financial features.
To estimate this relationship we must (1) define the incidence of currency crises, (2) measure the trade linkage between the first crisis victim and other countries, and (3) measure the relevant macroeconomic and financial control variables.

Marx had found the solution of the crises problem – this is evident from the remarks he makes about it; but he never came to do more than develop the individual elements.
Agriculture may indeed be subjected at times to crises, but they never fall together with the periodical crises of industry, and are of a totally different character.
Alongside of those causes of crises which we have met with in the preceding chapter a new one arises, and one which is bound to return periodically.

 Political Economy: The Marxian Crises Theory
Crises are the connecting points of the main contradictions of capitalism.
Crises are the temporary forceful solution to the contradictions upon which capitalism is based and which determines its development.
An irrefutable proof of the soundness of the Marxian theory of crises is to be seen in the crisis which broke out over four years ago and is the worst of all the crises known in the whole history of capitalism.

Crises will get you to ask the question: "Why did God allow this to happen?" (verses 5-)t is O.K. to ask, if you ask in faith, not as an accusation or complaint to God.
Some crises may be brought on by willful disobedience, so repentance and confession of sin is necessary.
Crises will still come your way, but when your life gets out of control, you can turn to the one who controls your life.

 Resolving International Debt Crises Fairly   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Responsibility for bearing the costs of debt crises and other negative effects of the prevailing international financial system should therefore be assumed by those who have contributed to bringing them about.
Sovereign debt crises are public, not private, crises involving the use of taxpayer funds.
If the resolution of these crises is to be achieved within a framework of justice, and if democratic scrutiny of public funds is to be strengthened, then it will be vital for the process to be open, transparent, and accountable to citizens and taxpayers.

 Food crises - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many food crises have occurred in the world today.
The US has been seen by some to have fewer agricultural crises than the UK and Europe.
Events such as Mad cow disease (BSE) and Foot and Mouth disease which happened in the UK, and dioxin contamination which happened in Belgium, and the spread of blood infected with HIV had a lasting impact on British and European trust in their governments and in the practices of agribusiness.

 International Financial Crises
Whereas research on specific episodes of currency crises are better found elsewhere, this page is more general in nature and collects research on the phenomenon of financial crises.
Abstract: In most of the currency crises of the 1990s, the largest output falls have occurred in those emerging economies with large currency mismatches, a phenomenon that occurs when assets and liabilities are denominated in different currencies such that net worth is sensitive to changes in the exchange rate.
The anatomy of these episodes suggests that crises occur as the economy enters a recession, following a prolonged boom in economic activity that was fueled by credit, capital inflows, and accompanied by an overvalued currency.

These painful crises, which occur in almost all patients at some point in their lives, can last hours to days, affecting the bones of the back, the long bones, and the chest.
The crises can be severe enough to require admission to the hospital for pain control and intravenous fluids.
Hydroxyurea (Hydrea) was found to help some patients by reducing the frequency of painful crises and episodes of acute chest syndrome and decreasing the need for blood transfusions.

 Corporate Engagement: Most crises are avoidable
A US organisation, the Institute for Crisis Management, has researched the origins of business crises that occurred through the 1990s and its analysis showed that crises that occur without warning are in the minority.
The research also shows it is a fallacy that most crises are caused by natural disasters or employee error.
When you consider the human, and financial, damage caused by crises, attention to proper issue management does seem a prudent organisational policy.

 Amazon.com: Crises [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] [IMPORT]: Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
About two weeks ago i listened once again to "Crises" and i found it not as bad as after buying...i have rediscovered it as a CD with some really great moments,the title track simply growes ojn you after many listenings...
Then the coda of "Crises" beggins...Coda is a synth variation of one of the themes from here...And this is where the suite gets boring.The loud and almost 8 minutes long ending is repetative and irritating...Even the "ommadawn" styled ending (tribal srums and female vocals) are not makling it better...
In the end- this album is maybe not hte worster Mike 's album, but it is not his best either...there are brilliant moments on here and whole album is a classic but beside "Earth moving" it is the weakest eighties Cd of Oldfield...go and buy "QE2" of "five Miles out"!!!

 CRISES
AMG REVIEW: Balanced skillfully between R. Stevie Moore's experimental and pop-oriented tendencies, 1983's Crises never tips too far in either direction.
Similarly, the various instrumentals titled "Crisis" or "Crises" are atmospheric but relatively straightforward, not nearly as experimental as many of Stevie's similar excursions.
Moore's '80s tendency to remake his older songs in completely different arrangements is here represented by "I Won't Chew in My Life," an acoustic version of 1975's bouncy "I Want You in My Life" tricked out with some psychedelic synth interjections and space rock drones.

Although such crises--the Latin American debt crisis of the 1980s, the speculations on European currencies in the early 1990s, and the ensuing Mexican, South American, and Asian crises--have played a central role in world affairs and continue to occur at an alarming rate, many questions about their causes and effects remain to be answered.
