The University of Massachusetts Boston honored Daisaku Ikeda, founder of Soka University and president of the Soka Gakkai International Buddhist association, with a doctor of humane letters degree, honoris causa for his efforts to build peace and promote cultural exchange and humanistic education. UMass Boston Chancellor J. Keith Motley presented the degree at a special ceremony held in Tokyo's Shinjuku Ward on November 21.
Chancellor Motley headed a delegation, including Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Winston Langley and Associate Provost and Director of International and Transnational Affairs Eunsook Hyan, in Japan to present the honorary degree and sign an academic exchange agreement with Soka University.
This brings to 300 the total number of honorary doctorates, honorary professorships, and equivalent titles conferred upon Mr. Ikeda by institutions of higher learning in some 50 countries.
"Daisaku Ikeda has an unflagging commitment to Buddhist ideals, and has made his life and vision a source of inspiration to others," Chancellor Motley said. "We honor him as an inspiring Buddhist leader, peace builder, and global founder of institutes to better humanity."
Mr. Ikeda had not been able to make it to the 42nd UMass Boston commencement exercises in June, so his degree had been conferred in absentia. This was a chance for Chancellor Motley and university officials to honor him in person. Soka Gakkai International paid for the trip.
"I am deeply honored. The academic honors I have accepted have all been on behalf of the members of SGI around the world," Mr. Ikeda said. "This is recognition of their multifaceted contributions. As a private citizen, I will redouble my efforts to promote peace, cultural exchange and education."
Chancellor Motley and Soka University President Hideo Yamamoto also signed a formal memorandum of understanding between the two universities and an agreement to create a new study-abroad exchange. Two students from each institution will participate every year.
"May this be an auspicious and long-lasting friendship between our two institutions," Chancellor Motley said. "I look forward to seeing what we can create together."
Chancellor Motley and Mr. Ikeda agreed that, particularly in times of great turmoil and confusion, the role of education must be to foster people dedicated to the welfare of humankind.
Mr. Ikeda was president of the Soka Gakkai Buddhist association from 1960 to 1979. In 1975, he became the founding president of Soka Gakkai International (SGI), which now has 12 million members around the world. He also founded the Ikeda Center for Peace, Learning, and Dialogue.
He is the author of numerous works on Buddhist philosophy as well as over 50 published dialogues with leading thinkers from different cultures around the world.

Luv Is A Verb (Live) by
DC Talk
Down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk
Are you down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk
Pullin' out my big black book
Cause when I need a word defined that's where I look
So I move to the L's quick, fast, in a hurry
Threw on my specs, thought my vision was blurry
I looked again but to my dismay
It was black and white with no room for grey
Ya see, a big "V" stood beyond my word
And yo that's when it hit me, that luv is a verb
(chorus 1)
Words come easy but don't mean much
When the words they're sayin' we can't put trust in
We're talkin' 'bout love in a different light
And if we all learn to love it would be just right
(chorus 2)
Hey, tell me haven't ya heard?
Luv, is a serious word
Hey, I think it's time ya learned
I don't care what they say
I don't care care what ya heard
The word luv, luv is a verb
Down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk
Are you down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk
Thinkin' of a way to explain-o
Cause ya' know when I'm flowin' like a bottle of Drain-o
Simple and plain, L-O-V-E
Ain't all that junk that ya see on TV
Put soaps on a rope cause they ain't worth copin' with
It's a myth that there ain't no hope and
Luv is enough if it's unconditionally
Givin' now you're living out the Great Commission
(repeat choruses 1 and 2)
Back in the day there was a man
Who stepped out of Heaven and he walked the land
He delivered to the people an eternal choice
With a heart full of luv and the truth in His voice
Gave up His life so that we may live
How much more luv could the Son of God give?
Here is the example that we oughtta be matchin'
Cause luv is a word that requires some action
(repeat chorus 1)
(repeat chorus 2 x4)

Download the authoritative guide: Enterprise Data Storage 2018: Optimizing Your Storage Infrastructure
Key-Value/Tuple Store
The whole idea behind key-value stores is that there is one key, one value and no duplicates. There is an unbending focus on performance. For the more computer science oriented readers it's a hash table. Kay-Value Stores allow you to store more than a single value with a key. You can also store a blob (binary) object associated with a key. However, the database itself does not understand the blob; nor does it want to -- its focus is on speed, speed and more speed (and, in case you missed it, speed).
Key-Value stores, also called tuple stores, are very popular in Big Data because they are so focused on performance. If you are interested in speed or if you have very large amounts of data, this is a very popular way to access the data. However, there are some pitfalls to the approach. If you use binary objects (blobs) as the value for the key, the database knows nothing about it, forcing you to write custom code for using the returned blob. This may not be a problem because you most likely have to write custom code anyway, so what's a little more code?
You likely won't find Key-Value databases with links to analysis tools. The focus is on storing and retrieving data at an extremely high rate, forcing you to write the code that processes the data. Examples of key-value databases that are used in Big Data are:
Document Store
Document Stores are very similar to the Key-Value Stores we previously discussed, but in this case the database typically also understands the value that is returned from the key-value pair. It is typically structured so that the database can understand it. This means that instead of just having a data retrieval system where you must write custom code to use the returned data, Document Stores understand the returned value. Moreover, this also means you can typically query the data in addition to just using the key to retrieve a blob. However, this capability is achieved at the expense of some performance and the fact that the data typically must be structured in some manner (i.e., a defined format that the database understands).
Be careful about the title "Document Store" because Document Store does not mean that the value is a .pdf file or a .docx file, although that is possible. In general, a Document refers to the value in the Key-Value, and it is assumed that the document encapsulates and encodes the data in a standard format or encoding. Examples of formats include XML, JSON, YAML and BSON, but you can also use binary formats such as .pdf, .docx, or .xls. Moreover, you can actually use a Document Storage database as you would a key-value database, if the data format is unknown to the database itself (perhaps using a proprietary data format). If you like, think of the data in the document as a row in a traditional database. The only significant difference is that it is more flexible than a row because it does not have to conform to the row schema.
Document Stores can be fairly easy on storage systems because the data can be read in a large read, emphasizing the streaming nature of the data. On the other hand, if you use small amounts of data, then the storage starts to think that the data access patterns are rather random and IOPs driven.
Examples of Document Stores for Big Data include:
Graph Database
So far, the Big Data database tools have been all about performance with some basic relations between data (or in the case of Key-Value, no explicit relationships). Graph Databases go in the opposite direction and emphasize relationships among the data before all other aspects. A graph database uses the concepts from a graph structure such as nodes, edges and properties, to represent and store data. The cool thing about graph databases is that there is no real "lookup," per se. Rather, an element contains pointers to adjacent elements. So you begin by starting with a node and start querying the data with the node or the properties and explore the relationship to other nodes via the edges.
In graph databases, the nodes contain information you want to keep track of, and the properties are pertinent information that relates to the node. Edges are lines that connect nodes to nodes or nodes to properties, and they represent the relationship between the two. These concepts can wreak havoc on storage systems. How to you access data that has connections throughout? Depending on the amount of data stored in the nodes and properties and how the edges connect the various nodes (and how much data is contained in the edges), the storage system can again think that the data access patterns are somewhat random and very IOPS-driven. But there are some situations where the data access patterns are fairly sequential when certain searches are performed (i.e., simple tracing of one node to another).
Graph databases are becoming popular in Big Data because they can be used to gain more information (insight) into the data because of the edges. Examples of graph databases are:
- InfoGrid
- HyperGraphDB(uses Berkeley DB for data storage)
- AllegroGraph
- BigData
Object Database
Object databases are exactly what the phrase implies -- a combination of a database with objects where objects are as used in object-oriented programming. Because of this combination, they belong to a distinct group of databases. Typically these databases integrate the database capability with object-oriented programming, so the database is usually tightly coupled with the object language, which can limit general applicability. Examples of Object databases for Big Data are the following:
Multi-model Database
This class of databases is named such because of its ability to provide multiple techniques depending on what you want to achieve. For example, the database could be a Document Store or a Graph Database or both. Hence, the name of multi-model databases. Examples of these databases are:
In the next article in this series, I'll present how these classes of databases can use Hadoop for data storage. I'll also discuss how these databases, while very important, are not the end-all to Big Data. You need tools to analyze the data to create information (and sometimes knowledge).

Swissvax Leather Milk
Swissvax Leather Milk is without any doubt one of the best leather conditioners on the market today and leaves both modern and aged leathers looking and feeling like new. Although we have only been using it for a relatively short period of time, it is fast becoming an essential product in our leather care line up, and one that we will be heartily recommending to both enthusiasts and professionals alike.
Swissvax Leather Milk is an intensive liquid leather conditioner enriched with vitamin E, glycerine and UV filters, and provides factory looking results with ease. Its light formulation ensures maximum penetration with no clogging of stitching, and leaves a supple, non-oily, beautiful looking satin finish that repels everyday stains and prevents UV-induced fading.
Prior to applying Swissvax Leather Milk, ensure that the leather surfaces to be treated are completely clean and dry (we recommend using Swissvax Leather Cleaner for the initial cleaning step). Next, squeeze a small amount of Swissvax Leather Milk on to a Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Pad and then wipe down the surfaces to be treated lightly and evenly before allowing them to dry naturally.

We went to church for Easter service today (I had sooo many question but was very well behaved). Service was okay, not great and I get the point the reverand was trying to make. Snappy had a good time and the reverand's son and set up an egg hunt for the kids in the church.
Snappy work his dinosaur bowtie and braces outfit. Our neighbours mum called him a hipster, my mum called him a skin head. I prefer my mum's description.

History of Airports Council International
|Before the establishment of ACI in January 1991, the world's airports were represented on the international scene by the Airport Associations Coordinating Council (AACC), which had in turn been created in 1970 by the three then-existing international airport associations:
With the passage of time, however, the growing importance of the external factors on airport operation created the need for a formal relationship with governments, airlines, manufacturers and other parties concerned.
This led to the establishment of AACC, with a view to formulating unified airport industry policies, furthering collaboration between its constituent associations, and representing them collectively with worldwide aviation organizations and other relevant bodies.
After WEAA was dissolved in 1985, AACC became a bipartite body. The decision to create ACI, which incorporated AOCI and ICAA and succeeded AACC, was taken in 1989. The Constitution of ACI was approved by AOCI and ICAA memberships in the autumn of 1990 and came into effect on 1 January 1991.
For more information on ACI's history, please download the ACI Celebrating 20 Years: 1991-2011.

Reviewed By Greg M (Sacramento, CA) Reviewed for a 2011 Acura TSX —1/13/2016 10:54 AM
Ordered Dash Design DashTex Custom Dashboard Cover for my 2011 Acura TSX four weeks before Christmas. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived nicely packed within a week of order in time for Christmas. Product looks great; covers very close all contours; and custom-cut carpet fiber appearance is smooth and flat. My only criticism is that while 2 strips of velcor tape are provided to anchor cover to dash, a third strip would help fix the cover to curved portion of dash around the media screen.

Members of Grayscale:
Derek Parker- Bass
Andrew Kyne- Guitar
Collin Walsh- Vocals
Dallas Molster- Guitar/Vocals
Nick Veno- Drums
WTSR: You guys just released an EP called Changes, back in April, and that's your first release since 2013's Leaving. So, why don't you tell me about that?
Collin Walsh: We released that song, it's kind of an introduction to the full-length we have coming out. It's going to be released in February, and it's called What We're Missing, and we're releasing it through Anchor Eighty Four Records, which we released the Change EP through.
WTSR: Did you guys do anything different when you recorded that, as opposed to when you recorded Leaving?
Collin Walsh: Yeah, I feel like, just in general, we have a different producer Gary Cioffi, he did a lot of Transit's records and Misser. We matured a lot as a band and our writing is a lot more different and a lot more natural. It's more kind of an alternative approach. We swapped producer and we really love working with Gary, he's a great dude. He's like a band dad.
WTSR: You're playing in Philly at the Voltage Lounge later this month. You have anything else planned, like a tour or anything?
Collin Walsh: Right now, we don't have any tour dates. Now, we just have shows every other weeknight or weekend. I know we have one in Quakertown later in September, Stanhope, New Jersey on the 28th, and the 29th is Voltage Lounge. We have some other larger shows we're waiting to hear back from in October and November. We have a Halloween show in October and it's gonna be sweet. It's an awesome set of bands. Illusionist is a hardcore band in New Jersey, we're really good friends with Sam and those dudes. Our really good friends in Losing Streak are playing there, and they're like the greatest band on Earth. I forget the other bands, but I remember I saw them online, and it was pretty sweet.
WTSR: Now, one last question. I saw this on your Facebook. It says, "Team Wario, 906 Wins, 0 Losses." Is there a crazy story behind that?
Nick Veno: I don't even know where to begin with Team Wario. Basically, Colin and I are an absurd team in any kind or Mario video game. In Super Smash Brothers, we play as Team Wario, and we just destroy people.
Collin Walsh: Bands that we're touring with, we did a lot of runs with The Directive, Losing Streak, Real Talk, the dudes that did our music video, a lot of people we've worked with or toured with, thay crashed at our house. And every one, of them, we've forced them to play Smash Bros, and we absolutely destroyed them, we wouldn't die…
Nick Veno: Trash talked the entire time.
Collin Walsh: Totally just pissed everyone off and made it negative for everyone else. And Nick and I have never lost.
Nick Veno: We're undefeated.
Collin Walsh: Undefeated, that's an actual 908 wins, 0 losses. So, if anyone wants to, we crash at your house, or you just wanna meet up, and you bring a Wii, and you bring any Smash Brothers or Double Dash, particularly Super Smash Bros Brawl for Wii, and you bring it to our show, you let us crash at your house, and you beat us, you get free merch and free admission to a show. It's whatever you want, the offer's [always] on the table. Same goes for NHL game on XBOX for Andrew or I.

LINCOLN PARK — After raising a record-setting $103,000 for Ann & Robert Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago last year, organizers of DePaul University's largest student-run fundraiser, a 24-hour Dance Marathon, are doing everything they can to top that number this spring.
The 2012 DemonTHON shattered the record for money raised during the first year of a Dance Marathon. The previous record of $66,000 was set by Auburn University.
"We smashed the record. We are very proud we did that," said Connor Lillis, a sophomore and public relations director for the organization.
This year, the organization is hoping to get 500 students to take part in the event on May 10-11.
About 250 students already have raised a minimum of $250 each to participate in the overnight event held inside the Sullivan Athletic Center.
Along with the minimum of $250 for each dancer, students raise money over the entire year leading up to the dance during DePaul basketball games, Chicago Bears football games and other fundraising events.
For the student dancers who pull an all-nighter, the big moment of the night is the unveiling of the final total that had been raised. That total is kept secret from everyone but the finance director during the 364 days of fundraising leading up to the event.
Seeing that number was shocking.
"I cried for an hour. We were all just standing there sobbing," Lillis said. "I didn't know if I was crying because I was tired or I did something that was absolutely amazing."
DemonTHON's goal for 2013 is to raise 20 percent more than last year for Lurie Children's Hospital, the local Children's Miracle Network Hospital.
During the event, young patients from the hospital, who have either been treated for a serious illness or continue to be treated, come to tell the story of their illness and treatment to the dancers.
DePaul senior Hope Cornelis signed on as the family relations director this year and has been in touch with a number of patients who will be coming to speak.
"I was born with a heart defect, so that kind of made me feel a connection to the families too. That's one reason why I wanted to get involved with the families," she said.
To get the dancers through the night, since they're not allowed to sit for the full 24 hours, the organization brings in entertainment such as local bands, yoga instructors and campus groups.
But the early morning hours still can be brutal, Lillis said.
"We call them the dark hours," he said. "You are like, 'I just can't do this anymore. I can't stand. I have to sleep.'
Seeing the families come in and speak is the greatest motivation, Lillis said.
"At around 8 or 9 the next morning, kids from the hospital started showing up and my spirit went from 20 percent to 150," he said.

I don't know about you, but I'm officially over winter. Done. Kaput. Unfortunately, the calendar isn't cooperating.
Considering what the East Coast has had to endure this season, I feel a tad guilty saying that, but the older I get the less I can tolerate extreme weather events.
My attitude about weather in Wisconsin is fairly predictable. I relish the 10 minutes of summer we get each year. Obviously, it doesn't last long enough. Then, before I know it, it's back-to-school time, bringing cooler days and crisper nights, football games and cozy sweaters. Halloween and Thanksgiving and the accompanying get-togethers with family and friends are great. Come December I start to get a little excited about Christmas and hope for snow to have that authentic-looking backdrop for my holiday frivolity. In January, I put on a brave face as my family sleds, skates and tubes our way through the longest month of winter. Feb. 1 arrives and, like clockwork, I'm ready to blow this Popsicle stand.
This year, however, to break up the monotony I've set mini goals for myself so I have things to look forward to. I won't bore you with all of them, but one entailed a Moms-only weekend in Milwaukee last month. The anticipation I had for the trip, not to mention actually going on it, were just what I needed to put a little spring in my step. A change of scenery, a few laughs and no one needing me, if only for a night, were the icing on the cake. I'm sure my family agrees it was good for everyone involved.
Another mini goal of mine is to mix it up in the kitchen a bit. I seem to make the same things over and over and I'm determined to sample some of the recipes in Shana Conradt's "Getting Fit With Food." The book features 101 nutritious (and, equally important, delicious) meal ideas. Be sure to read more about Shana and her labor of love.
So… here we are in March. Technically, the first day of spring is March 20. (Whether it feels like spring remains to be seen.) That being said, we are nearing the finish line of this seemingly endless marathon of cold, wind, snow and ice we've had to endure for so many weeks. There is light at the end of the tunnel...Hang in there!

By Daniel Kelley
PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett drew fire on Friday when he compared gay marriage to incest only weeks after he apologized for a state legal filing comparing same-sex marriage to the marriage of children.
Asked to comment on a case in which a Pennsylvania court last month ordered a county clerk to stop issuing marriage licenses, Corbett apologized for an earlier claim by the state that is does not allow gay couples to marry in the same way that it does not allow 12-year-olds to marry.
"I think the appropriate analogy would have been brother and sister, don't you?" Corbett, a Republican, told an interview on WHP television.
The comment drew a swift critical response from inside and outside the state.
"Tom Corbett's absurd comparison of same-sex marriage to the marriage of a brother and sister is offensive and demeaning to the millions of Pennsylvania families he claims to represent," said Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin, who chairs the Democratic Governor's Association.
Vermont is among the 13 U.S. states, in addition to the District of Columbia, that currently allow gay marriage.
Pennsylvania is one of several U.S. states where gay-marriage advocates are battling for the right to wed.
Following a June U.S. Supreme Court decision that knocked down a part of the 1996 federal Defense of Marriage Act that defined marriages as the union of a man and a woman, Pennsylvania's Montgomery County Register of Wills D. Bruce Hanes began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
He asserted that the Supreme Court decision also meant that Pennsylvania laws blocking gay nuptials was unconstitutional. A state court last month ordered him to stop issuing the licenses and the county has appealed that decision to the state supreme court.
U.S. Representative Allyson Schwartz, who has entered a crowded Democratic field seeking to challenge Corbett in the 2014 general election, called Corbett's statements "hateful."
Corbett's office issued a statement a few hours later, saying his statement was not intended to offend. He apologized to anyone who was.
"I explained that current Pennsylvania statute delineates categories of individuals unable to obtain a marriage license," Corbett said. "As an example, I cited siblings as one such category, which is clearly defined in state law. My intent was to provide an example of these categories."
Pennsylvania is among six states targeted by same sex marriage proponents for a push to legalize same sex marriage, according to Freedom to Marry, an advocacy group.
The state has seen a flurry of legal activity in recent months.
In federal court, advocates have challenged the state's ban on same sex marriage as unconstitutional, a suit that Democratic Attorney General Kathleen Kane said she would not contest. Another federal court case, this one filed in Philadelphia, seeks to force the state to recognize same sex marriages from other states.

Credit theory of money
Credit theories of money (also called debt theories of money) are theories concerning the relationship between credit and money. Proponents of these theories, such as Alfred Mitchell-Innes, sometimes emphasize that money and credit/debt are the same thing, seen from different points of view.[1] Proponents assert that the essential nature of money is credit (debt), at least in eras where money is not backed by a commodity such as gold. Two common strands of thought within these theories are the idea that money originated as a unit of account for debt, and the position that money creation involves the simultaneous creation of debt. Some proponents of credit theories of money argue that money is best understood as debt even in systems often understood as using commodity money. Others hold that money equates to credit only in a system based on fiat money, where they argue that all forms of money including cash can be considered as forms of credit money.
The first formal Credit theory of money arose in the 19th century. Anthropologist David Graeber has argued that for most of human history, money has been widely understood to represent debt, though he concedes that even prior to the modern era, there have been several periods where rival theories like Metallism have held sway.

According to Joseph Schumpeter, the first known advocate of a credit theory of money was Plato. Schumpeter describes Metallism as the other of "two fundamental theories of money", saying the first known advocate of metallism was Aristotle.[2][3] The earliest modern thinker to formulate a credit theory of money was Henry Dunning Macleod, with his work in the 19th century, most especially with his The Theory of Credit (1889). Macleod's work was expanded on by Alfred Mitchell-Innes in his papers What is Money? (1913) and The Credit Theory of Money (1914),[4] where he argued against the then conventional view of money arising as a means to improve the practice of barter. In this alternative view, commerce and taxation created obligations between parties which were forms of credit and debt. Devices such as tally sticks were used to record these obligations and these then became negotiable instruments which could function as money. As Innes puts it in his 1914 article :
The Credit Theory is this: that a sale and purchase is the exchange of a commodity for credit. From this main theory springs the sub-theory that the value of credit or money does not depend on the value of any metal or metals, but on the right which the creditor acquires to "payment," that is to say, to satisfaction for the credit, and on the obligation of the debtor to "pay" his debt and conversely on the right of the debtor to release himself from his debt by the tender of an equivalent debt owed by the creditor, and the obligation of the creditor to accept this tender in satisfaction of his credit.
Innes goes on to note that a major problem in getting the public to understand the extent to which monetary systems are debt based is the challenge in persuading them that "things are not the way they seem" [5] A Quantity Theory of Credit was proposed in 1992 by Richard Werner, whereby credit creation is disaggregated into credit for GDP and non-GDP (financial circulation). The approach is tested empirically in a general-to-specific econometric time series model and found to be superior to alternative and traditional theories. Werner found that bank credit creation for GDP transactions Granger-causes nominal GDP growth, while credit creation for financial transactions explains asset prices and banking crises.
The 2005 book New Paradigm in Macroeconomics (Palgrave Macmillan) by Richard Werner presents a comprehensive and empirically tested credit theory of money, including the Quantity Theory of Credit, and policy proposals as to how to avoid the 'recurring banking crises' and how to stimulate economies after severe banking crises (making use of Werner's policy concept of quantitative easing, which he proposed in Japan in 1994, and which is defined in true 'credit theory of money' spirit as an expansion in credit creation for GDP transactions). Werner's historical analysis presents a historical overview of credit money, tracing it back to ancient Mesopotamia.[6]
In his 2011 book Debt: The First 5000 Years, the anthropologist David Graeber asserted that the best available evidence suggests the original monetary systems were debt based, and that most subsequent systems have been too. Exceptions where the relationship between money and debt was less clear occurred during periods where money has been backed by bullion, as happens with a gold standard. Graeber echoes earlier theorists such as Innes by saying that during these eras population perception was that money derived its value from the precious metals of which the coins were made,[7] but that even in these periods money is more accurately understood as debt. Graeber states that the three main functions of money are to act as: a medium of exchange; a unit of account; and a store of value. Graeber writes that since Adam Smith's time, economists have tended to emphasise money as a medium of exchange.[8] For Graeber, when money first appeared its primary purpose was to act as a unit of account, to denominate debt. He writes that coins were originally created as tokens which represented a unit of account rather than being an amount of precious metal which could be bartered.[9]
Economics commentator Philip Coggan holds that the world's current monetary system became debt based after President Nixon suspended the link between money and gold in 1971. He writes that "Modern money is debt and debt is money". Since the 1971 Nixon Shock, debt creation and the creation of money increasingly took place at once. This simultaneous creation of money and debt occurs as a feature of Fractional reserve banking. After a commercial bank approves a loan, it is able to create the corresponding amount of money, which is then acquired by the borrower along with a similar amount of debt.[10] Coggan goes on to say that debtors often prefer debt based monetary systems such as Fiat money over commodity based systems like the gold standard, because the former tend to allow much higher volumes of money to circulate in the economy, and tend to be more expansive. This makes their debts easier to repay. Coggan refers to Bryan's 19th century Cross of Gold speech as one of the first great attempts to weaken the link between gold and money; he says the former US presidential candidate was trying to expand the monetary base in the interests of indebted farmers, who at the time were often being forced into bankruptcy. However Coggan also says that the excessive debt which can be built up under a debt based monetary system can end up hurting all sections of society, including debtors.[11]
In a 2012 paper, economic theorist Perry Mehrling notes that what is commonly regarded as money can often be viewed as debt. He posits a hierarchy of assets with gold [12] at the top, then currency, then deposits and then securities. The lower down the hierarchy, the easier it is to view the asset as reflecting someone else's debt.[13] A later 2012 paper from Claudio Borio of the BIS made the counter-intuitive case that it is loans that give rise to deposits, rather than the other way round.[14]
In a book published in June 2013, Felix Martin argued that credit based theories of money are correct, citing earlier work by Macleod: "currency ... represents transferable debt, and nothing else". Martin writes that it's difficult for people to grasp the nature of money, because money is such a central part of society, and alludes to the Chinese proverb that "If you want to know what water is like, don't ask the fish." [15] [16]
The conception that money is essentially equivalent to credit or debt has long been used by those advocating particular reforms of the monetary system, and by commentators calling for various monetary policy responses to events such as the Financial crisis of 2007–08. A view held in common by most recent advocates, from all shades of political opinion, is that money can be equated with debt in the context of the contemporary monetary system. The view that money is equivalent to debt even in systems based on commodity money tends to be held only by those to the left of the political spectrum. Regardless of any commonality in their understanding of credit theories of money, the actual reforms proposed by advocates of different political orientations are sometimes diametrically opposed.[11]
Advocacy for a return to a gold standard or similar commodity based system.[edit]
Advocates from an Austrian School or Libertarian perspective often hold that money is equivalent to debt in our current monetary system, but that it need not be in one where money has inherent value, such as a gold standard. They have frequently used this view point to support arguments that it would be best to return to a gold standard, to other forms of commodity money, or at least to a monetary system where money has positive value. Similar views are also occasionally expressed by Conservatives. As an example of the latter, former British minister of state The Earl of Caithness made a 1997 speech in The House of Lords where he stated that since the 1971 Nixon Shock, the British money supply had grown by 2145% and personal debt had risen by almost 3000%. He argued that Britain ought to move from its current "debt based monetary system" to one based on equity:[18]
It is also a good time to stand back, to reassess whether our economy is soundly based. I would contest that it is not ... as it is debt-based ... a system which by its very actions causes the value of money to decrease is dishonest and has within it its own seeds of destruction. We did not vote for it. It grew upon us gradually but markedly since 1971 when the commodity-based system was abandoned...We all want our businesses to succeed, but under the existing system the irony is that the better our banks, building societies and lending institutions do, the more debt is created ... There is a different way: it is an equity-based system and one in which those businesses can play a responsible role. The next government must grasp the nettle, accept their responsibility for controlling the money supply and change from our debt-based monetary system. My Lords, will they? If they do not, our monetary system will break us and the sorry legacy we are already leaving our children will be a disaster.
In the early to mid-1970s, a return to a gold anchored system was advocated by gold rich creditor countries including France and Germany.[19] A return has repeatedly been advocated by Libertarians, as they tend to see commodity money as far preferable to fiat money. Since the 2008 Crisis and the rapid rise in the price of gold that soon followed it, a return to a gold standard has frequently been advocated by goldbugs.[11][20]
Advocacy against the gold standard[edit]
From centrist [21] and left wing perspectives, credit theories of money have been used to oppose the Gold Standard while it was still in effect, and to reject arguments for its re-instatement. Innes's 1914 paper is an early example of this.[5][11][20]
Advocacy for expansionary monetary policy[edit]
From a moderate mainstream perspective, Martin Wolf has argued that since most money in our contemporary system is already being dual-created with debt by private banks, there is no reason to oppose monetary creation by Central Banks in order to support monetary policy such as Quantitative easing. In Wolf's view, the argument against Q.E. on the grounds that it creates debt is offset by potential benefits to economic growth and employment, and because the increase in debt would be temporary and easy to reverse.[22]
Advocacy for debt cancellation[edit]
Arguments for Debt forgiveness have long been made from people of all political orientations; as an example, in 2010 hedge fund manager Hugh Hendry, a strong believer in free markets, argued for a partial cancellation of Greece's debt as part of the solution to the Euro crisis.[23] But generally advocates of debt forgiveness simply point out that debts are too high in relation to the debtors ability to repay, they don't make reference to a debt based theory of money. Exceptions include David Graeber, who from a radical perspective, has used credit theories of money to argue against recent trends to strengthen the enforcement of debt collection, such as greater use of custodial sentences against debtors in the US. He also argued against the over zealous application of the view that paying ones debts is central to morality, and has proposed the enactment of a biblical style Jubilee where debts will be cancelled for all.[9]
Relationship with other theories of money[edit]
Debt theories of money fall into a broader category of work which postulates that monetary creation is endogenous.[5][24]
Historically, debt theories of money have overlapped with chartalism and were opposed to metallism.[25] This largely remains the case today, especially in the forms commonly held by those to the left of the political spectrum.[26] Conversely, in the forms held by late 20th-century and 21st-century advocates with a conservative libertarian perspective, debt theories of money are often compatible with the quantity theory of money and with metallism, at least when the latter is broadly understood.[5][9][11][27]

(Bloomberg) -- Goldman Sachs Asset Management and Pacific Investment Management say Treasuries are poised to fall as the Federal Reserve approaches the end of its bond- buying stimulus program.
The completion of the Feds quantitative easing plan may add interest-rate risk to U.S. debt, paving the way for possible declines in Treasuries, said Philip Moffitt, head of fixed income for Asia and the Pacific at Goldman Sachs Asset in Sydney. Investors will demand a concession to buy longer-dated debt as the Fed withdraws from a market where it bought 41% of this years gross issuance of Treasuries due in more than 20 years, Pimco said in a report.
Effectively duration is being added into the market each month as the Feds bond purchases come to an end, Moffitt said today in a Bloomberg Television interview. Theres not been enough concentration on what that addition of duration means to the supply and demand balance in the market and we actually think thats likely to have as big an impact as anything else.
Goldman Sachs Asset sees benchmark Treasury yields increasing to around 4% by the end of next year, Moffitt said in an interview with John Dawson on Bloomberg Televisions On the Move.
Steve Rodosky, a portfolio manager at Pimco, said in a report published on the companys website that an improving U.S. economy will help send yields on the longest-dated securities moderately higher in the near term, while expecting them to find support around current levels in the long term.
The Fed will publish the minutes of its Sept. 16-17 meeting tomorrow. Policy makers raised their median estimate for the benchmark federal funds rate last month to 1.375% at the end of 2015, compared with a June forecast of 1.125%.
Officials also cut monthly bond purchases to $15 billion in a seventh consecutive $10 billion reduction, staying on course to end the program in October. They kept their pledge to maintain interest rates near zero for a considerable time after the asset buying stops.
Weve gone a long way through QE tapering and we still havent seen much upward pressure on yields, said John Davies, a U.S. interest-rate strategist at Standard Chartered Bank in London. My suspicion is that it will be a more gradual increase over time in yields because even when the QE has finished, the forward guidance will remain very much in place. The 10-year rate will be at 2.75% at year-end, he said.
Treasuries have gained in the past month amid signs of slowing global growth, including data today that showed German industrial production declined in August the most since 2009.
An index of U.S. government debt due in 10 years or more has returned 1.8% in the past month, the best-performer among 144 bond indexes compiled by Bloomberg and the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies.
It will be unusual for the Fed to do a lot of tightening in a scenario where global growth is patchy, said Matthew Johnson, an interest-rate strategist at UBS AG in Sydney. Treasury 10-year yields will probably end the year around 2.50%, particularly if U.S. data follows European and global data down.

Melbourne: Sienna Miller will visit Perth to attend a special movie tribute to her late pal Heath Ledger.
According to organisers, Miller is expected to arrive just before the event, which will be held on February 12 at Movies by Burswood, reports the Herald Sun.
They say the British actress has not asked for a fee.
"She's just doing it as a nice gesture," said Grant Thomas, one of the partners with event organisers I-Spy.
"She thought it would be a nice thing to do for Heath and his family," Thomas said.
According to Thomas, they have been planning the night for more than a year and have the support of the Ledger family.
Former supermodel Gemma Ward, who was romantically linked to the late actor, is also set to fly in for the night.
Both Miller and Ward are expected to mix with VIP guests.
More than 1,200 people are expected to attend, with money raised going to Telethon, His Majesty's Theatre Foundation and the Australians in LA Foundation, which supports upcoming actors in Hollywood.

Hi Felix, I would probably do the same if I had to buy a new car today. Toyota is really late with it's Plug-in Prius.
Interview: Plug-in Hybrid Pioneer on Receiving Chevy Volt
More than eight years ago, Felix Kramer embarked on a quixotic journey to convince the global auto industry to produce plug-in hybrids that run primarily on electricity. Since that time, he has tirelessly promoted the cause—through the CalCars non-profit organization (which he co-founded), active political advocacy, and deft media campaigns.
Yesterday, the Chevy dealership in Novato, Calif., handed over the keys of a 2011 Chevrolet Volt to Felix Kramer—signaling a victory not only for Kramer, but many of his partners, colleagues and supporters.
I spoke with Kramer this morning about the experience of getting the Volt, and what lies ahead.
How have the first few miles of driving the Chevy Volt been?
It's been wonderful and kind of unreal. The reality hasn't sunk in that they've actually built this car. In driving it, I said this is my car. And I kept saying that to myself. This is not just something I'm thinking about or testing out. This is a car that I have, and thousands of other people are going to be driving.
What's been the biggest lesson you've learned over the past eight years in promoting plug-in hybrids?
You have to keep trying. If you know something is what you want and is right, you just have to keep at it. You can't pay attention to all the people who say stop, or don't try, or you can't do this. It was my experience when I did a start-up, and it was my experience as an anti-Vietnam War activist. If you believe in something, you just have to give it everything you got.
What impact will it have on mitigating climate change to have factory built plug-in hybrids on the road?
It starts us on the path of taking this giant global industry and turning it around. It's a big start. We are starting to produce vehicles that solve the emissions problem in one giant industrial sector. If we can electrify our vehicles and clean the grid, then greenhouse gas emissions from transportation will start to go away.
Is your campaign done?
The first campaign to get mass production of plug-in hybrids is done. The continuing campaign to ensure their successful commercialization is underway. And the effort to try to create a convinced active global constituency for [plug-in hybrid] conversions is just beginning.
Your campaign started eight years ago. What will U.S. roads look like eight years from now?
The mix of vehicles in the market nationally will be sort of like what we see in California today, with a lot of hybrids. In California, when you see two or three Priuses parked next to each other, you don't say, 'Wow, Isn't that amazing?" That's starting to look normal.
Also, we'll see enough plug-in vehicles around that we won't wave at each other, like we used to when we first had hybrids.
What will you be driving in eight years?
The next-generation of the Volt and a Nissan LEAF. Or maybe we'll be down to one car, and take a lot more mass transit and rent a car when we need it.
If you could wave a magic wand, what other cars would you want to see on the roads at that time?
By 2020, I'd like every single new car on the road fueled by electricity and renewable liquid fuels.
· Felix Kramer · 7 years ago
Thanks, Brad, for putting this together so well -- and for all the great content at PlugInCars.com!
A clarification: I may have not been clear that I expect in eight years we'll see a level of penetration of plug-in hybrids and all-electric vehicles nationally that's similar to what we now have for hybrids in California...a great accomplishment, but not enough to make the giant difference we need. That's why we hope to build awareness about the feasibility and benefits of converting gas-guzzlers to PHEV or EV.

Hello All,
I'm all for this technology but one question, I have done much research in 20 years and never came across this Hybrid Plug-in till the Chevy Volt, meaning not old technology like Hybrid from the 1900 hundreds.
Anyway, I should be the Pioneer for Hybrid Plug-in or extended range technology, I knew this system would work, but was only a boy, with this dream at age 8 in 1988 with many paper on this idea and soon going on age 33.
Nevertheless, hope to have my own Automobile Business with this system, I know I'm not the first nor the last but would of been great, if the whole world knew, this idea came from an 8 year old boy with high intelligences.
You all may say something else, I'm okay, with that, but had to deal with health issues and finding work to make that dream and system into what the current Chevy Volt but I'm really, glad to see this system work in the real world but would of made it cheaper.

I work as a computer engineer in a programming company that belongs to Christians. The company has started designing websites for wine shops and factories. There is no programming work required, it is all about web designing so far. But it is very possible that they will require programming work. I have left the company to save myself from this doubtful matter. But there are Muslims working in this company and they refuse to leave it. What is the ruling in this situation?.
If the programming work is limited to that which is permissible, and has nothing to do with the haraam sites such as sites for selling or manufacturing alcohol, then there is nothing wrong with staying in this job. It comes under the heading of payment for permissible work done for one who is committing a haraam action, like working for one who deals in riba or drinks alcohol and so on. It is well known that the basic principle is that this interaction is permissible, so long as it is not helping in doing the haraam action. Some of the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) worked for the Jews, even though it was well known that they dealt in riba and consumed haraam wealth.
But it is makrooh to deal with those whose wealth is mixed, and you have done well to leave this company. We ask Allaah to compensate you with something better.
If the work in programming and the work in designing websites for advertising alcohol or other haraam things is mixed, then it becomes obligatory for you to leave this job, because it is not permissible to deal directly with haraam things or help with them.
See question no. 31781.
And Allaah knows best.

text: These bootcut style jeans are way stretchier than I normally go for in denim, and I need to eat my hat for saying I don't like stretchy denim because I LOVE it in these. Not only does it make them super comfy for day-to-day wear, but it means they just fit me like a glove. They have been great to wear here on Vancouver Island when we are walking lots and lots and being all active (and also out of breath, me being very unfit and all). As it's been a little gloomy I styled mine with a knit and some comfy shoes, but take it from this denim aficionado, these will go with everything!

Now that I have explained the different types of cloth diapering options that are available, I am going to talk about the everyday practical side of cloth diapering. If there is a "good, bad and the ugly" side of cloth diapering, this would probably be the ugly. But it's not that bad…I promise! Basically there are several options to choose from when storing your dirty diapers until wash day. I am going to tell you what I do, and then offer you some links to read up on methods other than mine.
Because Little Man is exclusively breastfed, his poo is very runny. Because of this, there is no need to rinse the diapers before putting them in the pail. I just put them directly in. The pail I use is actually a "recycling bin" type of container that I purchased at IKEA. You could really use any type of trash can. Because of the style of bin I use, there is no type of liner made, so I have to wipe out the pail whenever I wash the diapers. This is no big deal to me. I just grab a cleaning rag and spray a little homemade All-Purpose Cleaner and quickly wipe it out and then throw the rag in the wash with the diapers. If you use a trash can, you can purchase a washable liner that you could just throw in the wash to avoid having to wipe out the can. It's all a matter of personal preference. When Little Man starts solids, I plan to purchase a diaper sprayer.
Another great option is a waterproof hanging bag. I have a large hanging bag that I use pretty much the same way that I do the pail. The great thing about the bag is that you can easily take it on trips or long day outings. It also works great for wet bathing suits in the summer! When you are ready to wash your diapers, you just unzip the bottom and shake them into the washing machine. Then toss the bag in to wash with them. Very simple!
I purchased it used, so I'm not sure where it originally came from. It is lined with waterproof "PUL", so no leaks! My husband makes fun of me putting stinky diapers in such a pretty bag. I love it! Just like the large wet bag, I just toss this in the wash with the diapers.
Probably the biggest question I had and that you probably have is…"Doesn't it stink up your house?" No, it doesn't. Now if I go longer than I should to wash them, I can smell them a little. And of course, when you dump them in the wash you are going to get a whiff of stink, but you'll get that anyway with a disposable diaper pail.
These methods have worked great for me, but there are other ways. Check out these links to learn more.

The big political story today will not come from Oregon or Kentucky.
It has arrived, already, from Boston.
Ted Kennedy is seriously ill. The seizures he suffered over the weekend were related to a malignant brain tumor that, depending on its seriousness, could end his tenure in the Senate.
That would redefine American politics, especially but not only at the legislative level. As presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain said upon learning the news, "I have described Ted Kennedy as the last lion in the Senate, and I have held that view because he remains the single most effective member of the Senate."
Doctors treating the senior Senator announced today that "preliminary results from a biopsy of the brain identified the cause of the seizure as a malignant glioma in the left parietal lobe." Translation: the 76-year-old champion of civil rights, labor rights, health care, education and a sane foreign policy is heading into the most serious fight of his life. A doctor says, "The usual course of treatment for Kennedy's type of tumor includes radiation and chemotherapy."
How successful that treatment will be depends on how advanced his condition has become.
Kennedy is reportedly "in good spirits and full of energy." And it is probably fair to say that if anyone can beat a tumor, it is this epic persona. But Kennedy, who has been a critical player in defining liberal Democratic politics for better part of fifty years, is likely to be sidelined at what will be an essential moment for the causes and ideals he has promoted for so very long.
Democrats are on the march, poised to gain control of both the White House and the Congress for the first time since 1994--and, perhaps, for the first extended period since Kennedy came to Congress in the 1960s.
His candidate for President, Barack Obama (who says of Kennedy: "some of us wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him"), is about to secure the Democratic nomination. Voters in Oregon are expected to give the Illinois senator a solid win tonight, while voters in Kentucky back New York Senator Hillary Clinton. When all is said and done, Obama will move to within touching distance of the nomination.
That nomination, which will come by acclamation, will be made at this summer's convention in Denver.
Since 1972, Kennedy has delivered the loudest, the boldest and often the most moving addresses at the quadrennial gatherings of what is in so many senses his party.
The question, today, is whether the liberal lion can roar once more at a Democratic National Convention.
The hope, surely, is that he will.
John Nichols' new book is The Genius of Impeachment: The Founders' Cure for Royalism. Rolling Stone's Tim Dickinson hails it as a "nervy, acerbic, passionately argued history-cum-polemic [that] combines a rich examination of the parliamentary roots and past use of the 'heroic medicine' that is impeachment with a call for Democratic leaders to 'reclaim and reuse the most vital tool handed to us by the founders for the defense of our most basic liberties.'"

Angela Merkel's mobile phone was one of the most talked out issues of the week – especially at an EU summit in Brussels.
Merkel's mobile dominates EU summit chatter
Merkel's mobile dominates EU summit chatter
Although EU officials spend months preparing the council conclusions on topics like the digital single market and innovation, since news broke on Wednesday that the German Chancellor's mobile phone had been tapped, a Franco-German plan to create an intelligence-gathering rule book with the US emerged.
Angela Merkel gave an assurance that it would not be just a Franco-German effort, and that all member states would have to do their own leg work and contact the US authorities themselves.
"Germany and France are not going to talk to the US as a combined team. Each country will have to get in touch with the American security authorities separately," she said.
For his part, French President Francois Hollande said he hoped to see and end to the spying soon: "Along with the German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the European Council, we decided to create a common framework for cooperation with the United States so that there is no more spying and monitoring of this kind."
On Monday nine lawmakers from the European Parliament's Civil Liberties Committee are due to visit Washington.
Adamant that they must find out more about the electronic mass surveillance of EU citizens by America's NSA, they plan to discuss the EU data protection reform and any other programme that impacts EU citizens' privacy.
They will also talk about deals with the US on the transfer of bank data and air passengers' data.
The President of the Liberals and Democrats in the European Parliament, Guy Verhofstadt, said the Parliament had already taken the decision to suspend the SWIFT agreement until they are sure what the American intelligence services are doing with the data.
SWIFT was signed back in 2010 between Brussels and Washington so that the EU could provide the US authorities with bank transfer data of EU residents in order to help fight terrorism.
"We have only taken the decision within the European Parliament, that we have to suspend the SWIFT agreement, until we know exactly what is happening: what data is used by the American intelligence services, and if they are doing that within the framework of our agreements, or without the framework of the agreements," Verhofstadt said.
Spain's government has also called on the US ambassador to Madrid, James Costos, to explain the latest allegations at a meeting on Monday in the Spanish capital.
