- THE BEATLES: REVOLVER: 1966: 5 STARS OUT OF 5 STARS: VINYL I had a busy day today- usually I listen to a lot of much on Saturday's but today I had a fantasy baseball draft which took up my late morning- early afternoon. Before the draft though I put on Revolver again. Heavy rotation.
- DAVID BOWIE: THE NEXT DAY: 2013: 4 1/2 STARS OUT OF 5 STARS: CD: Bowie's comeback album after a decade of silence as far as new material and about from being out of the public eye for about as long. Did anyone expect another album? With Bowie I wouldn't have placed a bet either way but I am glad that near the end of his life he put out two excellent albums to leave on. This album received mostly good reviews but Spin [Spin still publishes?} gave it a 5/10 while Andy Gill in The Independent said it was the greatest comeback in rock and roll history, the New York Times said it was Bowie's twilight masterpiece. The first time I heard it I thought it was a pretty good rock album and I still think that way. It wasn't as experimental and different as his final album, it was a David Bowie album. I like every song but standouts include- Where Are We Now?, The Stars [Are Out Tonight} Valentine's Day is an especially powerful song- about a high school shooting, The Next Day. The album reached #2 on the US Billboard Top 200 chart- the highest a Bowie album had ever reached- he wouldn't get his first #1 in the US until Blackstar. Not that the charts measure greatness. I think in the past month this is the first album from this century that I have listened to- of course from a vintage artist.
- THE BEATLES: ABBEY ROAD: 1969: 5 STARS OUT OF 5 STARS: I was out and about this evening and was planning on adding to my Beatles reissue vinyl series- I picked up Abbey Road and well… then Rubber Soul and The White Album and ended up buying them all. One of my Mount Rushmore of Beatles albums- my two favorite songs on this have from the first listen decades ago been the two George Harrison songs " Here Comes The Sun" and 'Something."- and the medley of song fragments that dominate side two.

Museum of the Unmoving Image
The objects on display might seem to lack
Significance, unless you know the words.
The final straw that broke the camel's back,
The solitary stone that killed two birds.
Does this stuff really merit a glass case?
A tatty mattress and a shrivelled pea,
A shadow that somebody tried to chase,
A rusty pin that somehow earned a fee?
That gilded lily might have looked quite good
Without the dust that you won't see me for.
But where's the thrill in one piece of touched wood?
I think we've seen that uncut ice before.
A strained-at gnat, how interesting is that?
Gnats that were never strained at look the same.
Behold the pickled tongue got by the cat,
The ashes of the moth drawn to the flame.
Spilled milk, rough diamond, gift horse, gathered moss,
Dead duck, gone goose, bad apple, busted flush –
They're all lined up as if we gave a toss.
Try not to kill each other in the crush.
They've got an annexe for the big events:
Burned boats and bridges, castles in the air,
Clouds for your head to be in, rows of tents
For being camp as. Do we have to care?
What does this junk add up to? Look and learn,
The headphones say. They say our language grew
Out of this bric-a-brac. Here we return
To when the world around us shone brand new,
Lending its lustre to what people said;
Their speech was vivid with specific things.
It cries out to be brought back from the dead.
See what it was, and hear what it still sings.
Poetry (Chicago), June 2006

EC proposal to secure water and food in the Mediterranean
Share article:
Mediterranean countries, like Morocco and Spain, are suffering from water stress. Photo: Water News Europe
The European Commission recently launched a legislative proposal for a Partnership for Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean (PRIMA). The initiative is aiming at sustainable management of water and food systems. Until now thirteen states are participating and the EU pledged around 400 million euro to the initiative. If the European Council and Parliament will give their approval the programme will start in 2018.
The strategic research partnership will start sharing 'know how' and financial resources for a period of ten years under the Horizon 2020 Framework programme. The ensuing project calls will target the development of joint innovative solutions to make water management and food provision in the region more efficient, cost-effective and sustainable while addressing related socioeconomic problems. Among the participating countries are not only European Member States, but also African and Middle-Eastern countries. At the moment the initiative includes Cyprus, Egypt, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Lebanon, Luxembourg, Malta, Morocco, Portugal, Spain and Tunisia. The EC expects Germany and Jordan to join the initiative shortly.
Water stress
The Mediterranean basin is one of the most arid regions in the world. In the area are living 180 million people who are considered to be 'water poor'. According to the Global Water Partnership that means they have access to less than 1000m3 of renewable water per capita per year. A further 60 million people in the area are considered to be 'water stressed'. These people only have access to 500 m3 renewable water per capita per year. Climate change, as well as population growth and urbanisation trends exacerbate the situation.
Poor farmers
High agricultural water consumption and unsustainable resource management put further pressure on scarce resources and fragile ecosystems. The implications are enormous: People suffer from poor health and nutrition, living standards and livelihoods decline as unemployment and political instability rise. This immense economic and social stress drives many people, especially farm families, to leave their homes and look for better prospects in cities or even to migrate in particular towards Europe. Past efforts and funding to identify novel approaches to adequately address these increasingly complex and interconnected challenges proved largely insufficient.
History of PRIMA
In 2012 a group of EU Member States and Mediterranean countries decided to act. Building on the Union for the Mediterranean and EU's Neighbourhood Strategy, this group pushed for an international R&I cooperation within the Council of the EU. This resulted in the EC-proposal for the PRIMA-programme. The Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation Carlos Moedas thinks the Euro-Mediterranean partnership will bring more clean water and food to the people, boost local economies and create jobs. "Through PRIMA, research and innovation will play a crucial role in addressing the root causes of migration."

We've used James Grieve off our allotment as the basic apple this year which should give the chutneys a nice texture. James Grieve is slighly unusual as it is a cooker to start with and becomes an eating apple as it ripens. It hold its shape quite well whereas many other cooking apples can turn to fluff. We should be able to sell these chutneys from Novemnber onwards so watch this space for news of Christmas fairs where we'll be selling our produce.

In Conversation with Laura Holmes Haddad
For all of its rigor and science, medicine is full of stories—mysteries—that doctors and research cannot explain. Patients who are biologically healthy, but feel ill. Patients who are biologically ill, but feel healthy. What if these health mysteries could teach us something about what really makes us sick—and how to be healthy?
When Columbia University doctor Kelli Harding began her clinical practice, she never intended to explore the invisible factors behind our health. But then there were the rabbits. In 1978, a seemingly straightforward experiment designed to establish the relationship between high blood cholesterol and heart health in rabbits discovered that kindness—in the form of a particularly nurturing post-doc who pet and spoke to the lab rabbits as she fed them—made the difference between a heart attack and a healthy heart.
As Dr. Kelli Harding reveals in this eye-opening book, the rabbits were just the beginning of a much larger story. Groundbreaking new research shows that love, friendship, community, life's purpose, and our environment can have a greater impact on our health than anything that happens in the doctor's office. For instance, chronic loneliness can be as unhealthy as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day; napping regularly can decrease one's risk of heart disease; and people with purpose are less likely to get sick. Through provocative storytelling and compelling research, Harding presents a new model for you to take charge of your health.
At once paradigm-shifting and empowering, The Rabbit Effect shares a radical new way to think about health, wellness, and how we live.
Dr. Kelli Harding is an assistant professor of psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center. She is a diplomat of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, as well as boarded in the specialty of psychosomatic (mind-body) medicine. Kelli works in the emergency room at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, and has appeared on Today, Good Morning America, NPR, The New York Times, Medscape, WFUV's Cityscape, and US News & World Report.
Laura Holmes Haddad received her BA from Smith College, and has worked as a caterer, a cookbook editor, and a freelance writer. After a three-year battle with inflammatory breast cancer, Laura began writing about cancer, speaking about patient advocacy, and is the author of This is Cancer. When she's not writing, Laura can be found hiking, paddle boarding, reading, cooking, or on a rope swing with her kids. Laura lives in Northern California with her husband, daughter, son, and a Dalmatian.

The evidences of 'Mesolithic stage' in India are quantitatively and qualitatively richer than the preceding stage of Stone Age, the Paleolithic Age. In certain areas, these industries have survived at least dawn to early historic times showing a transition from Paleolithic industries to a more advanced type of industries.
As in Europe, Africa and several parts of Asia, India also witnessed a great climatic change toward the end of the Paleolithic period. These must have a bearing upon the mode of human living. Although there was widespread archaeological evidence of this environment in the form of microliths, but that was not supported by stratigraphical, geo-chronological and palaeo-biological data.
So the microliths carried little cultural significance. Stuart Piggott (1950) stated, "The Indian microlithic industries have not been found at any site in a geological deposit of known age, or in such stratigraphical relationship to earlier human industries that a connection with the final phases of Paleolithic cultures can be shown".
According to Sankalia (1962), in India, the term 'Mesolithic' stands for the Late Stone Age because it does not bear the same stratigraphic, chronological, typological and economic significance as in other parts of the world, particularly like England, Western and Northern Europe, parts of Africa and the Palestine. The term may conventionally be applied in India to denote a cultural stage, which is represented by microlithic industry and not associated with pottery. It also antedates the earliest farming-based village cultures.
Robert Bruce Foote had placed these tiny implements (microliths) in the Neolithic period. He coined the term Proto-Neolithic to refer the culture of the regions where microliths had occurred with potsherd. This association according to Foote definitely denotes a higher state of life.
The evidences of 'Mesolithic stage' in India are quantitatively and qualitatively richer than the preceding stage of Stone Age, the Paleolithic Age. In certain areas, these industries have survived at least dawn to early historic times showing a transition from Paleolithic industries to a more advanced type of industries.
This survival has been possible as most of the Mesolithic sites are associated with the existing landscape that has undergone little or no significant changes. Cultural evidences are thus totally undisturbed; the physical remains of animal and human preserved in Mesolithic deposits enables us to reconstruct the subsistence pattern of the people and environmental setting of the culture.
The oldest human skeletal remains yet known from India came from the Mesolithic level. But, is really a matter of great disgrace that no plant remain has yet been found from any Mesolithic site. A number of living sites of this age that have been discovered mainly from Western and Central India provide us with variety of data regarding the way of the life of the communities.
The Mesolithic sites in distribution cover almost the entire country except a few areas like Indo- gangetic plain, Assam and most of the Western coast of India. In Indo-gangetic plain, their absence can be explained by the lack of primary raw material (stones) for making tools.
Assam and Western coast were probably left uninhabited due to very high rainfall and dense vegetation in this area. The regions like Gujarat plains, Marwar, Mewar etc. show dense concentrations of sites in contrast to other areas. The vast tract of country between Godavari and Mahanadi has just started to be explored.
The bulk of our information comes from the following sites:
1. Akhaj, Valasana, Hirapur, Lunjhanj at Sabarmati Valley in Gujarat,
2. Tinnevalley in Madras,
3. Luni river valley in Rajasthan,
4. Bundelkhand, Baghelkhand, Shivana Valley in M.P.,
5. Bel Pandhari, Nevasa, Suvegaon, Kalegaon in Godavari Basin,
6. Birbhanpur in West Bengal (some sites are also scattered in Bankura, Birbhum, Burdwan and Midnapore Districts),
7. Kumool and Renigunta in Andhra Pradesh,
8. Nandur Madmeshwar and Malaprabha – Ghataprabha of Maharashtra, etc.
It seems that the Mesolithic people preferred the following environment:
a. Sand-dune:
In Gujarat and Marwar hundreds of dunes of varying sizes are found on the alluvial plain. Some of them enclose a shallow lake or pond, which were the great sources of getting aquatic creatures. Again, the dunes themselves were covered with thorny scrub bushes; many animals used to live there. Naturally the Mesolithic inhabitants in sandy dune faced no difficulty in collection their food.
b. Rock-shelter:
The Vindya, Satpura and Kaimur hills of Central India are very rich in caves and rock-shelters. The place was therefore favorite to the Mesolithic people. Not only that, as Central India received ample rainfall, the hills had grown a thick deciduous forest, which provided a variety of plants and games. Some of the rock-shelters have been found to be occupied as early as the Acheulean times.
c. Alluvial plain:
From early Palaeolithic period man has preferred to live in riverbanks because of the availability of water and games. Numerous Mesolithic sites therefore have been recovered from the alluvial plains. The Birbhanpur site, for example, is located at Damodar's alluvial plain in West Bengal.
d. Rocky plain:
On Deccan Plateau, many microlithic sites are found. Some are on the hilltops and others are on flat rocky soil. Such occupations must be the seasonal or of short duration, except where there is no river nearby.
e. Lake-shore:
A few Mesolithic settlements are centered round the shore of the lakes as found in the Gangetic Valley of District Allahabad and Pratapgarh. The settlers perhaps used to get the food supply from the respective lake and the dense primeval forest of the fertile alluvial land.
f. Coastal environment:
A large number of micro-lithic sites have been recovered from coasts, for example, from the Salsetle Island and from the teri dune in District Tirunevelli. The inhabitants used to feed upon the marine resources. Since Mesolithic essentially produced the micro-blades by pressure technique, beautifully fluted cylindrical or conical cores as well as thin parallel-sided blades are common in the sites. The blades are retouched on one or more edges, mostly by steep blunting.
Numerous types among the microliths have been noted such as blunted back blades, obliquely truncated blades, points, lunates, triangles, crescents, trapezes etc. Size of these tools varies between 1cm. and 3cm. Though no actual example of hafting is found from India, comparative evidences available from other parts of the world suggest that these microliths must have been halted on bone and wooden handle or shaft with natural resin.
The people perhaps produced a variety of implements and weapons such as arrows, spears, knives, sickles etc. The advantage of these composite tools was that, being made of a number of micro-lithic components, one of the broken components could easily be replaced without discarding the whole tool. This type of replacement was not possible in case of a single piece tool.
It can be inferred that the Mesolithic people had little material culture. Later, in contact with the metalworking and farming people they acquired a few items of material culture like, pottery, metal tools and stone beads for ornaments.
The process of disposing the deads was also unspecialized among them. The bodies used to be buried within the habitation area, whether it is a rock-shelter or an open-air site. At the site Sarai Nahar Rai in the District Pratapgarh all the skeletons are found to be placed in West-east direction keeping the right forehand diagonally across the abdomen. In fact, we are not sure whether the microlith makers of India were the hunters and food-gatherers of Paleolithic tradition or they were the agriculturists.
But it seems to be certain that the corresponding period experienced the arrival of new peoples, possibly from the west. This is the reason for which the Upper Palaeolithic blade industry was non-existent in Indian context. Therefore, the micro-lithic flint industry of India may be considered as contemporaneous with those of early post-glacial date in Europe and Near East or even they may be of a later date.
The Upper Paleolithic blade industries of Europe must be ancestral to Indian microliths. However, the micro-lithic cultures in India had showed a long survival, side by side with the communities making pottery as well as ground stone axes of the Neolithic tradition.

Rosa Parks Changed the World 60 Years Ago — Here Are 4 Badass Women Doing the Same Today
Sixty years ago today, when Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat to a white person in Montgomery, Alabama, she became an icon of the Civil Rights Movement. Parks was swiftly arrested, and in protest, many African-Americans boycotted public transit — a protest that stretched 381 days. It only ended when the U.S. Supreme Court desegregated public transportation in Montgomery. The day after the ruling, Rosa Parks rode in the bus' front row.
Not only did Rosa Parks take on Jim Crow laws and segregation, she continued to fight for civil rights around the world up until her death in 2005. She demonstrated against apartheid in 1984, and founded the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development, which introduced young people to important Civil Rights Movement and Underground Railroad sites around the U.S.
Around the world, people are remembering Dec. 1, 1955. Hillary Clinton paid tribute to Parks with a keynote address at the Dexter Avenue church where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. organized the boycott in Parks' honor. But there's another way to commemorate Rosa Parks' contribution to American society: you can recognize some of the women who've followed in her footsteps, breaking down barriers and proving that her legacy continues.
Alicia Garza
Alicia Garza is a 34-year-old activist from California and works as a special project director at the National Domestic Workers Alliance, where she defends the rights of black women working in childcare, housekeeping, and aid. She has worked for years to expose police violence and protect the rights of women. And she also, with two friends, founded #BlackLivesMatter.
"When we began, #BlackLivesMatter was a series of social media platforms that connected people online to take action offline," Garza told Yes! Magazine. But it has now set off a powerful civil rights movement that Parks herself would be proud of.
Malala Yousafzai
Malala Yousafzai won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014, and this year she may just make it to become TIME Magazine's Person of the Year. This 18-year-old began writing for the BBC at age 12 under a pseudonym, baring her fears for the world that the Taliban would attack her school and that she — as a girl — would no longer be allowed to attend.
Eventually, she came out as the author of the BBC blog and received death threats from the Taliban. While coming home from school in 2012, gunmen entered her school bus, asked for her by name, and shot her in the head. She survived, and her movement is now stronger than ever — the Malala Fund exists to bring education to all girls, and her story has been shared in her own book and a film.
Laverne Cox
Emmy-nominated Laverne Cox quickly rose to fame for her role as Sophia Berset on the (awesome) show Orange is the New Black, becoming the first trans woman of color on a mainstream TV show. Since then, Cox has become an activist who speaks out for LGBT equality, and has produced her own show, TRANSForm Me, as well as two documentaries on trans violence: Free CeCe and Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word.
Nassima al-Sadah
While we still have the gender wage gap in North America, Saudi Arabian women are only getting their first chance to vote this December. They may also run for a municipal council seat, which human rights advocate Nassim al-Sadah has declared her candidacy for. al-Sadah has been campaigning for women's rights in Saudi Arabia for some time now, having sued the interior ministry for her right to drive a car.
Now, she set up a campaign committee and workshops to encourage women to vote in the ultra-conservative state. "Men have to know that women must sit beside them in every decision-making and that their voices should be heard," she told The New York Times. Women are not allowed to campaign wherever men are present, or reach them through social media — an idea al-Sadah opposes, much like the #HeForShe campaign sweeping North America. "I can't win if I don't talk to men."

It was a beautiful morning traveling west on RT 20. Again, cars and trucks were going by waving and more than once when I stopped a car would also stop to see if I was alright. They said they saw us on news and wanted to hear more about our mission. I also had a number of Sheriff's either pass me and wave or coming towards me waving.
The landscape was the same they call it the sand hills of Nebraska. They can graze cattle and believe me, I saw lots of cattle. I am enjoying them as I am traveling along. They have their heads down and are grazing so I hit my oogah horn and all their heads come up and I can almost hear them saying what's up with that crazy thing going down the road. At times the calves go running to their momma and stare at me. Sometimes I sing to them and I can almost hear them say to their calves, don't pay any attention, there is something wrong with him.
I had to shift down for the 1st time in over two weeks. The last half of the day I had rolling hills. I was planning on stopping in Merriman, NE, for the night. But when I stopped for gas, the station wasn't the best looking. So I starting pumping gas and after a couple of gallons I stopped. I knew I had 12 gallons in my spare if needed. I was concerned about water or dirt being in their gas that's how bad this station was. I needed to go inside to pay since I couldn't pay at the pump. As I walked in and the owner said its on me. Then I felt bad. I just said I don't need as much as I thought. I guess that wasn't a lie…
I thanked them and headed to the campgrounds next door to them. It only took me a few minutes to decide I wasn't going to be staying there. When I say they let anyone stay there, that's an understatement. And truth be told, I was kind of concerned for my safety, so I moved on. I was tired but decided to trek another 30 miles to Gordon, NE.
When I left Merriman I headed west on RT 20 and I saw an old pickup coming up behind me. It had rusty fenders and looked like they were ready to fall off. There was a rack up on its roof it looked like military ammunition boxes on the rack. There were two gentleman waving and giving me a thumbs up. Actually more than likely, they were younger than me, they just looked older. Ha.
They pulled around me and just drove beside me for a while laughing and they kept waving. I was a little uneasy, and just not sure what to make of them. They turned around and waved and I thought that was the end of them. However, after a while I saw them coming again. They pulled up beside me and this time, in their hands, they were waving cash.
When that happens Johnabilt hits the ditch but this time I wasn't sure. I decided to pull over. They went around and pulled in front of me, so I decided to stay in the cab and talk to them through my window. They were excited. One of the gentleman worked at the JD plant for 45 years and he just retired.
After a while I felt comfortable and so I climbed out to talk to them and they gave a donation and apologized for stopping me. They just wanted to see it closer. They used all kinds of adjectives describing Johnabilt, One Bad a——-s Tractor and a few more. I saw the hair stand up on rooster. I actually think he was offended because I saw his comb getting bright red.
Can't judge a book by its cover but you have to play it safe.
I kept putting another 30 miles. I stopped a number of times to rest I even went in the camper and laid down one time.
I came into the town of Gordon, NE, and found my campsite and it sure is clean. I am so glad I kept driving. They even have a restaurant right up the road, I think I will jump on Smiley and get a good hot meal.

Answer us, we dare pray,
O God of our groaning.
Reclaim what has been cast away,
O God of our weariness.
Seek out the pieces of our hearts,
lest they be scattered by the wind.
In your goodness, let there be a light
to keep us company as we cry.
In your mercy, let there be a hope
to draw water for our dry spirits.
In your love, let there be a word
to whisper us back into life.
Until the days of our delight
outweigh the days of our distress;
Until the season of evil
fades in the eternity of justice;
Until our tongues are loosed
from the dust of death.
Let there be a light,
let there be a hope,
let there be a word.

It is more than fifty years since Christopher Alexander enunciated his ideal of an architectural project firmly grounded on a mathematical in nature, rigorous formalization, capable of simultaneous control of an enormous amount of variables, largely beyond the power of the most gifted, talented and skilled designers having ever worked within an architectural tradition. Peter Eisenman defended his mythical doctoral thesis nearly at the same time: the logic of architectural form was that of a coherent linguistic system combining both exact functioning and unlimited capacities of variation and complexity; soon afterwards, he described the autonomous nature of the system as a major break with all previous architecture, a break which opened and characterized a new epistemological era; and he designed and eventually built structures where always more and more concurrent logical procedures were put at work in a most mechanical way. Alexander wanted to solve all imaginable requirements and Eisenman demanded the strictest internal congruence: the criteria of excellence could not be more different; the pattern language that Reyner Banham could describe as the timeless element common to all past and future architectures and the self-referential sign specific of contemporary architecture were obviously contradictory and incompatible. But both ideas were eagerly desirous of controlling an extraordinary multiplicity; and both were developed theoretically and also methodologically... within the limits of the T-rule and the adjustable square: parametric architecture had a theory –or some draft theories- much time before it became a real possibility.
The computer did finally arrive in the eighties; in those days, nobody cared to refine, improve or reconsider those theories. Whatever the relevant firm taken into consideration, all witnesses afford the same universal evidence: the story is always one of a distrustful and suspicious principal making continuous statements against any kind of naive fascination in front of that auxiliary tool while asking his prothetic and just-arrived expert in its use to provide some not-really-important secondary material; the tool growing to take over running the whole process on practical grounds.
The effort of collecting chronicles of the sort is being made just now, and the idea that the history of the process must be recorded is part of a larger theoretical endeavor at last under way, including the reappearance of the question of a new architecture for a new time –both specifically based on the computer-, the idea of parametricism as a style –be it the only possible avantgarde or the latest of neogothics-, the organization of congresses and conferences intended to completely redefine the status of architecture, or the repeated statement that the existence of a theory is a necessary requisite to find one's way among so much valueless production.
The course will critically study the theoretical materials produced during the different stages of this process.
- Progress in understanding architectural theory in the 21st century and its roots.
- Ability to read a text slowly in order to interpret it properly and critically; identification of relevant terminology.
- Ability to communicate information in oral and written format; management of time allocated to presentation.
- Ability to work collectively on theoretical and practical matters.
Learning activities
Students will be required to prepare two papers on two texts, to discuss their papers with the teachers and to present them to the class; the use of complementary bibliography will be encouraged.
Evaluation system
Analysis of two texts and presentation to the class (40% + 25%)
Participation in discussion (25%)
Regular attendance to class (10%)

Super Smash Bros Brawl – Theme Song – Piano
Super Smash Brothers Brawl is a very fun game for the Wii. My daughter had been playing it with her friends quite a lot recently, and the theme song kept playing in my mind. Originally composed by Nobuo Uematsu, it is quite a unique work, seemingly shifting and changing its root key throughout. Bold and quiet at just the right parts. In any case, I wanted to bring it to a simple piano presentation. This is from my weekly performance, recorded July 6, 2019.

Handing Stuff In
to academic institutions makes me think, a lot.
Specifically, yesterday, it made me feel sick to think that whatever, and however, I regurgitate the received wisdom and body of knowledge from a prescribed list I am essentially being taught to think backwards and not forwards.
Because if you think forwards too much, no-one can mark it against the already determined learning outcomes…
Then I thought to charge people 9 grand a year for what's already out there is a bit of a damn liberty and hardly a democratic education. And then I went home and told my kids to try and remember that their best learning is out in the world in the people they meet, and in the things they read, and the experiences they have and please not to think the only, or best, place for an education is in some ivory tower where you pay through the nose for the approved reading list.
And they said, Mum, you are random. And I suppose that is true. But I have learned for free that no-one ever looks their best in hammock.
Posted on May 11, 2011, in Biophilia, Children, Politics and tagged Children, Democracy, Education, Hammocks, Turkey, University. Bookmark the permalink. 5 Comments.
I'm anti-university but pro-school
CJ's pulling off the hammock look quite well.
The girls and the place look lovely. What's with the empty pool in the background?
I got told my final university dissertation on Katherine Mansfield (also viewed as too slight an author, haha) was too difficult to mark as there'd not been enough written on her / opinion formed (other than by the sole expert who'd been my supervisor). Seems original thought is too much for some…

The Japanese show business industry has been basking in the glory of the country's two wins at the Academy Awards, which we announced here yesterday. Japanese productions won two Oscars, both for the first time in their category. The first to be announced was the animated short "Tsumiki no Ie." But the bigger prize was taken by "Okuribito" (Departures), chosen as best foreign language film. Director Takita Yojiro (53) has come a long way since his 1981 debut as a director of soft porn. "Chikan Onna Sensei" (Pervert Lady Teacher) was the first in a series of more than a dozen he made. In recent years, he's had more mainstream success with films like "Onmyoji" (2001) and "Battery" (2007), but has reached a peak with his 43rd movie. He was emotional after the awards ceremony and tearfully thanked the cast and dozens of crew members who paid their own way to accompany him to Los Angeles. As often happens in Japan, it was only when Okuribito started gaining a reputation at film festivals overseas late last year that it got any media attention at home. Stars Motoki Masahiro (43) and Hirosue Ryoko (32) are already well established names, so the Oscar is mainly Takita's chance to enjoy the full limelight.
• Actor Nishimura Kazuhiko (42) is a father again. He announced on his blog yesterday that his wife, shodo (calligraphy) artist Kunishige Tomomi (30) gave birth to their second child last weekend. They married in 2006 and had a son the following year. Nishimura was previously married to actress Tachihara Mai (39). Meanwhile, actor Tanihara Shousuke (36) is to be father for the third time, according to today's issue of weekly magazine "Shuukan Josei." He and his wife Emi (32) have two children, their elder son being from her previous marriage to actor Ishida Issei (34). She was already pregnant when she and Tanihara married in March 2007. They had a daughter the following October.
• With an 11-year career behind her, J-pop star aiko (33) finally has her first No.1 single. She's had 5 chart-topping albums but the best she's ever managed until now on the Oricon singles rankings was No.2. That has now changed with the success of "Milk/Nageki no Kiss," which entered the latest chart at No.1. On top of the album chart are rock band Unicorn, who recently reformed 15 years after they split. "Shamble" is their 7th original album. They split up in 1993 and members pursued solo careers until they decided to revive the band in the spring of last year. The band is fronted by Okuda Tamio, who has had by far the most successful solo career over the last decade.

The town of Bethlehem is located in the heart of the Lehigh Valley within Pennsylvania and is famous for Lehigh University, steel production, and Christmas traditions. Walking around the town, is easy to spot many historical buildings dating as far back as the 1700s still being used today for a variety of purposes. A recent graduate from Lehigh himself, Shawn has years of fond memories from the area and knew the town would be the perfect place for his wedding with Jeanette. On the morning of their wedding day, we met the couple at the Hotel as they prepared for the day at the Hotel Bethlehem full of elegant decorations tied to it's past. With beautiful views out the hotel windows, both put the final touches on their looks among friends and family. Braving the wind and cold, we captured portraits of both bride and groom with bridal party among a preserved old village surrounding the grounds of the hotel.
As the time for their marriage drew close, the couple and guests converged on on Packer Memorial Chapel located on the campus of Lehigh. Its Gothic architecture was beautifully lit by stained glass windows giving a dramatic and elegant air to the ceremony. After sermons, the lighting of a unity candle, exchanging of the rings, and a kiss the couple was wed and made their grand exit back out to the university. We walked with them through the heart of the campus to take formal portraits with the many pieces of art that the pair had grown to know so well over past years during their engagement. Just as the sun was beginning to set, we drove up a mountain to the top of the campus to an overlook with views of the entire town and valley below. We then made our back to the Hotel Bethlehem for the reception in the grand ballroom. Entrances, toasts, cake cutting, and more flew by in a night full of dancing and partying to an eclectic playlist of music geared to the tastes of both college friends and family members. We wish the newlywed couple the best in everything going forwards and we were honored to photograph their big day in such an amazing location.

Kid Konnection: 13 Little Blue Envelopes
When 17 year old Ginny's eccentric aunt passes away, she leaves Ginny 13 envelopes with instructions to open them one at a time. Each envelope includes a task that Ginny is to complete – upon completion, she is supposed to open the next envelope. Ginny decides to honor her aunt's wishes and follow those directions so she finds herself traipsing around Europe having adventures and misadventures along the way.
I've heard a lot about 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson, so I grabbed it a few years ago when it was free for the Kindle. I recently found myself in a waiting room without anything to read and decided to pull it up on my phone. I have to say reading it on my phone wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
13 Little Blue Envelopes is a fun book that will probably appeal to teens a great deal. I liked it, but wouldn't say that I loved it. Even though I thought Ginny and her Aunt Peg were both terrific characters, there was much in the book that didn't ring true for me. Sure, Aunt Peg instructed Ginny to buy a ticket to Europe but I was rather surprised that her parents allowed her to go alone. Ginny seemed a little reticent at first and really had to push herself to fulfill her aunt's wishes.
The book has a rather ambiguous ending. At times, I'm fine with that, but I had to wonder what the whole point of the book was this time. There is a sequel – The Last Little Blue Envelope – that I plan to read. Hopefully, it will explain a lot of things for me.

Basim Magdy is Deutsche Bank's "Artist of the Year" 2016 and will present his first institutional solo exhibition at the Deutsche Bank KunstHalle in Berlin next spring.
The artist, who was born in 1977 in Assiut, Egypt, and now lives in Basel and Cairo, has created a multifaceted oeuvre in recent years encompassing film, photography, slide projections, installations, and works on paper. At the center of all of his works are structures of seeing, remembering, and archiving.
Many of Basim Magdy's works, which are based on observations of reality, are akin to surreal tales full of cryptic humor. With paintings and assemblies boasting psychedelic-looking colors, the artist investigates collective utopias and formulates his doubts in dogmas and ideologies. At the same time, he appeals to the viewer's imagination and reveals alternative realities and social blueprints. "Maybe I'm more interested in issues that are not particularly pleasant," he says about his artistic production, "but I have to say that my favourite reaction to the work I make is when people look at it and smile or laugh."
Basim Magdy has participated in numerous international group exhibitions, including the Sharjah and Istanbul Biennials in 2013 and La Biennale de Montreal and MEDIACITY Seoul Biennial in 2014. Currently, he is prominently represented in the highly regarded show "Surround Audience: New Museum Triennial 2015" in New York and the exhibition "Lest The Two Seas Meet" at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw.
The award "Artist of the Year" goes to contemporary artists who have created a substantial body of work, and in which works on paper and/or photography play a role. The award focuses on artistic positions that deal with social themes in an individual way and take new formal paths. At the same time, the award honors impetus emanating from new art centers of Africa, Asia, South America and Eastern Europe. It is not a purely financial award, but firmly embedded in Deutsche Bank's art program. It supports new positions and promotes the acquisition of works for the corporate collection. The highlight is the "Artist of the Year" solo exhibition at the Deutsche Bank KunstHalle, which is accompanied by a major catalogue. Subsequently, the show travels on to other international venues. The artist is also invited to design a special edition for the KunstHalle. Artists are chosen within the framework of the Global Art Advisory Council, which is comprised of renowned curators such as Okwui Enwezor, Hou Hanru, Udo Kittelmann and Victoria Noorthoorn.

2020 Tasmania Australian of the Year Award recipients announced
The 2020 Tasmania Australian of the Year Awards have been presented to a marine research scientist, a Landcare activist, a social justice activist and a men's health advocate.
Announced this afternoon during a ceremony at Government House in Hobart, the recipients were presented with their awards by the Governor of Tasmania, Her Excellency Professor the Honourable Kate Warner AC.
The four recipients from Tasmania will join the other state and territory recipients for the national awards ceremony at the National Arboretum in Canberra on 25 January 2020 – the 60th anniversary of the awards.
The 2020 Tasmania Australian of the Year is marine research scientist Dr Jess Melbourne-Thomas of Hobart. Rhodes Scholar, international research scientist and mother, 38-year-old Jess grew up exploring Tasmania's spectacular coastline and wilderness. Her love of the environment led her to pursue a career as a research scientist, first with the Australian Antarctic Division, and now with CSIRO Oceans & Atmosphere.
Jess uses interdisciplinary research approaches to understand how marine socioecological systems respond to climate change and other human activities, and to inform decision-making for sustainable development.
A passionate advocate for female leadership in science, Jess co-founded the Homeward Bound project, which took 78 women working in science on a leadership journey to Antarctica in 2016. Jess also co-founded the Women in Polar Science network, which has more than 4,000 members worldwide. Named Tasmania's Young Tall Poppy of the Year in 2015 for her excellence in research, science communications and policy engagement, Jess also co-presents the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on Marine and Antarctic Science that's reached over 17,000 students.
Landcare activist Dr Graeme Stevenson of Somerset is the 2020 Tasmania Senior Australian of the Year. Dr Graeme Stevenson, 74, has been promoting healthy soils in Tasmania for over 30 years, in particular the role of dung beetles and earthworms in soil management. Since 1993, he has been a passionate advocate and volunteer for Landcare Tasmania, a movement that brings individuals and groups together to improve the health of natural and working landscapes. Using his knowledge about conservation, Graeme has initiated and managed 27 projects along the coastline, including willow removal, riverside fencing, and managing soil slippage. He also helps write funding applications for new projects, and has attracted almost $1.5 million in grants, predominantly for on-ground works. With 20 years of appliedresearch into organic agriculture and sustainable farming, Graeme works with farmers as a soil assessor and agronomy consultant, and has written a number of books showcasing his expertise. As well as his volunteer work, he presents his soil knowledge to school children as alter ego Dr Spluttergrunt.
The 2020 Tasmania Young Australian of the Year is 26-year-old social justice activist Will Smith of Launceston. Police officer Will Smith's desire to help disadvantaged young people has taken him from local football clubs in Launceston to the Lebanese and Syrian border. From age 15, Will has been involved with the Edmund Rice camps, which provide holiday camps and other activities for disadvantaged students.
As a police officer in training, he organised the now ongoing partnership between the Police Academy and the Eddy Rice program, where cadets and disadvantaged young people share camps, breaking down barriers on both sides. Joining Deloraine Football Club, Will organised a successful camping experience with the club and young refugees, to help create mutual understanding. He then set up the JCP Empowering Youth program, enabling successful leaders to help improve the lives of young people, through school, leadership and community programs. An extraordinary man with a burning passion for social justice and empowering young people, Will also travelled to Lebanon to help isolated young Syrian refugees by setting up soccer competitions.
Thomas Windsor, an advocate for men's health, is the 2020 Tasmania Local Hero. Thomas is dedicated to raising awareness and funds for major health issues affecting men, including depression and prostate cancer. The 38-year-old Hobart resident has spent over a decade fundraising for men's health organisations, by getting his friends together to compete in running events, including a gruelling half- marathon 1,300 metres up Mt Wellington.
After losing his father to suicide when he was 23, Tom turned a family tragedy into a commitment to help other men. He founded Mobart Mo Bros, which has grown every year to become Australia's top Movember fundraising team for the past four years. Started as a way for his friends to show support after the loss of his father, the team of men and women are on a mission to stop so many men from dying too young. The Mobart Mo Bros hold a range of events to engage the community – successfully attracting more than 600 registered participants and raising over $750,000 for Movember in the past 13 years.
National Australia Day Council CEO Karlie Brand congratulated the award recipients from Tasmania, noting their outstanding contributions to our country.
"Through their work and voluntary activities, the 2020 Tasmania Australians of the Year are all contributing in ways which help improve our society – protecting the environment, promoting sustainability, encouraging inclusion and mutual understanding and supporting research to save lives," said Ms Brand.

Amit Shah may be in isolation but...Shiv Sena's message to Ashok Gehlot
Mumbai, Aug 04: The entire country has become excited in view of the 'bhoomi pujan' ceremony for Ram temple in Ayodhya and there is no other golden moment like Prime Minister Narendra Modi breaking the ground to mark the start of construction work, the Shiv Sena said today.
The COVID-19 crisis is prevailing in the country, but it will disappear with the blessings of Lord Ram, an editorial in Shiv Sena mouthpiece 'Saamana' said.
90% of recovered COVID-19 patients in Wuhan suffering from lung damage: Report
It the ceremony, to be held at Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday, will be "fika" (lacklustre) as Union Home Minister Amit Shah will not be able to attend it.
Amit Shah on Sunday said he had tested positive for coronavirus after showing initial symptoms. He said his health was fine and he was getting admitted to a hospital on the advice of doctors.
The Shiv Sena said it is praying for his speedy recovery. The party, however, cryptically said though Amit Shah is in isolation, the crisis still looms large over the Ashok Gehlot government in Rajasthan.
"Gehlot has no reason to be happy that Amit Shah is in isolation as the BJP leader performs political surgeries from wherever he is," the Marathi daily claimed.
"Prime Minister Modi himself will perform the 'bhoomi pujan' by visiting Ayodhya," the Sena said.
It noted that BJP veterans LK Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi, key leaders attached to the Ram temple construction campaign, will witness the temple construction via video conferencing from Delhi.
Mr Advani and Mr Joshi were advised not to attend the ceremony in view of their age and the outbreak of COVID-19 in Ayodhya, it said.
Uma Bharti, another leader attached to the campaign, will not attend the ceremony in person in view of COVID-19, and will watch the ceremony from the banks of the Saryu "through the eyes of her mind," the Shiv Sena said.
"The country has become excited in view of the 'bhoomi pujan' ceremony. There is no other golden moment like the Country's Prime Minister breaking the ground (for temple construction)," the Sena said.
"Coronavirus is prevailing. It has spread in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh and the entire country. This crisis, too, will fade away with the blessings of Lord Ram," it claimed.
The Sena further said the responsibility of security arrangements in Ayodhya was with the Home ministry, but it was unfortunate" that Shah got infected by the novel coronavirus.
"Prime Minister, RSS chief, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and other invitees will be there (for the ceremony), but the ceremony will be lacklustre without Home Minister Amit Shah," the Shiv Sena said.
Referring to the Rajasthan political crisis, it said Ashok Gehlot had to shift Congress MLAs from that state in isolation when Amit Shah was quarantined at a hospital.
"That means the threat (to the Gehlot government) persists!" the Shiv Sena claimed. The MLAs were recently shifted to a Jaisalmer resort from Jaipur.
The Sena further said Uttar Pradesh has seemingly turned into a COVID-19 hotspot and the death of the states minister Kamal Rani Varun due to the disease is demoralising for people.
It raised concern over Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa also getting infected by the disease.
The Shiv Sena said Amit Shah had taken utmost care during the lockdown period.
It noted that the Union Home Minister took part in a public event in Delhi last Saturday and attended the cabinet meeting last Wednesday observing social distancing norms.
Yet, Amit Shah has asked those who came in his contact in the past few days to isolate themselves and get themselves tested for coronavirus, the Shiv Sena said.
"The entire Union Council of Ministers need to be isolated, if the Home minister is saying this. Amit Shah is close to the Prime Minister as his second key colleague in the council," the Marathi publication said.
But nothing will happen to the prime minister and the Home Minister due the blessings of Lord Shri Ram. Wishes extended by (Congress leader) Rahul Gandhi to Amit Shah are important, it said.

Edible Arrangements — the fruit-on-a-stick, gift baskets— are often sent for joyous occasions: birthdays, graduations, and work promotions, to name a few. Tariq Farid, the company's founder and CEO, however, hasn't personally been over-flowing with fuzzy feelings lately.
As Farid told Business Insider in a recent interview, that's mostly because of a Google ad practice that he says is "killing" business for his 1,100 franchise owners across the country. In response, Edible Arrangements has filed multiple lawsuits against Google for its ad practice, at a time when government regulators are investigating the tech giant over antitrust concerns, especially as it relates to its advertising business.
Read more: 50 state attorneys general have launched a formal probe into whether Google has engaged in anticompetitive practices in its ads business
The issue, Farid said, starts when someone types his company's name — "Edible Arrangements" — into Google. Even though the company's website is the first organic search result Google surfaces, it is not listed at the very top of the page. Those top spots are reserved for advertisements and are awarded to the businesses that pay the most money for the keyword search term, "Edible Arrangements."
That means, to remain atop of Google's search results, Farid and his team have to bid on their own, trademarked brand name to beat out competitors.
"Google is manipulating this for their own benefit," Farid said. "I'm okay for that when it comes to generic terms like 'fruit' or 'basket.' But not for 'Edible Arrangements,' which is our mark. Google has come out and started making millions of dollars off of our name."
The ad practice, known within the industry as "conquesting," is not uncommon or completely unique to the way Google does business. For instance, when searching on Amazon for a particular product, similar products from competitors will likely show up alongside it. That product placement is often not free. Also, when searching in Apple's app store, ads for competitor apps will often be the top results.
Still, Google's involvement in "conquesting" has raised questions as of late, especially with federal and state agencies now formally investigating the search giant over potential antitrust violations. This Monday, fifty state attorneys general announced a joint probe specifically looking into whether Google's advertising businesses have ventured into potentially monopolistic practices.
Forcing businesses to spend big money just to stay atop search results for its own name could potentially raise red flags for regulators.
In response to the ad practice, Edible Arrangements filed a $200 million lawsuit against Google for trademark infringement in early 2018. That case has been moved to arbitration and is still pending.
In a more recent case — filed December 2018 in the state of Georgia, where the Edible Arrangements is headquartered — the gifting company is suing Google for theft.
"This is a simple case," the lawsuit reads. "Google cannot take someone else's property — in this case, Edible IP's property — and sell it on the internet."
The Georgia suit was last heard before a judge on August 9th, when Edible Arrangements argued against Google's motion to dismiss the case. A preliminary decision is still pending.
A Google spokesperson declined Business Insider's request for comment on the case.
The spokesperson did confirm its ad practice of allowing businesses to bid on other, trademarked brand names, but said it prohibits a competitor's name from being used in the actual text of the ad if it is deemed malicious.
"For trademarked terms like the name of a business, our policy balances the interest of both users and advertisers. Like other platforms, we allow competitors to bid on trademarked terms because it offers users more choice when they are searching," the Google spokesperson said. "However, if a trademark owner files a complaint, we will block competitors from using their business name in the actual ad text."
Farid said that Edible Arrangement franchise owners — who collectively share the cost of marketing expenses — spent over $3 million in 2018 to bid on its own company name. That spend, however, was not sustainable, he said, and the company has since cut down on its bids.
Today, when searching for "Edible Arrangements" on Google, ads for its competitors, like 1-800 Flowers and Shari's Berries, often appear at the top of results.
If Edible Arrangements is successful in either one of its suits against Google, limits could be set on the tech giant's current grip over businesses vying for top placement.
"I hope people realize what [Google is] doing is killing main street businesses," Farid said. "When someone can't afford to do advertising because they have to advertise just to protect and police their own name, it's affecting small businesses."
"The whole thing just feels rotten and an example of Google abusing its power."
Another company, which is not taking Google to court but still up-in-arms over the issue, is Basecamp, a project-management tool.
Last week, Jason Fried, Basecamp founder and CEO, tweeted his frustrations with the practice, calling it "a shakedown" and "ransom." Fried's tweet was also accompanied by the ad his company was running in protest of the Google practice, which read, in part: "We don't want to run this ad. We're the #1 result, but this site lets companies advertise against us using our brand. So here we are."
Fried told Business Insider in an interview this week that much of his frustration with the practice is how it appears counterintuitive to Google's stated mission of providing relevant search results to users.
"I don't understand how you can be number one on an organic result for your brand name but actually show up fifth because you have four ads ahead of you that [Google is] happy to sell," Fried said. "Those ads are nowhere near as relevant as your brand, which people are clearly looking for. The whole thing just feels rotten and an example of Google abusing its power."
Basecamp's chief exec also raised questions as to why Google ads, which were once clearly defined by a yellow-colored background, have increasingly grown to look more like organic results. This can lead to customer confusion, Fried said. It can also lead to someone buying a competitor's product over the product they originally searched for.
"Over the years, ads have become less and less obvious," Fried said. "The whole thing is obscuring the truth, which is like, what are people paying for and what should people be getting in terms of relevancy and intent."
As for whether government regulators will bring relief to these concerns, Fried at least remains hopeful, saying it seems like federal oversight may be one of the only ways changes will be made.
"I don't think Google is going to volunteer to make changes," Fried said. "They're going to do what they're to do to extract as much money from people as they can. That's the story. That's how all these companies behave."

Are Negative Nominal Interest Rates Expansionary?
, ,
NBER Working Paper No. 24039
Following the crisis of 2008 several central banks engaged in a radical new policy experiment by setting negative policy rates. Using aggregate and bank-level data, we document a collapse in pass-through to deposit and lending rates once the policy rate turns negative. Motivated by these empirical facts, we construct a macro-model with a banking sector that links together policy rates, deposit rates and lending rates. Once the policy rates turns negative the usual transmission mechanism of monetary policy breaks down. Moreover, because a negative interest rate on reserves reduces bank profits, the total effect on aggregate output can be contractionary.

The small company advice which wives provide their partners:
Did you realize that these days and daily over two hundred, 000 individuals are online at this time these days looking with regard to entrepreneurial assets or a method to start a brand new home-based business?
Everybody is actually seeking entrepreneurial suggestions from Holly the actual housewife in order to Frank the actual CEO absolutely no one's exempt.
With the most cancers that's sickening the economy departing 2. 6 zillion people without having jobs as well as anticipating 50 zillion more worldwide, even May well the local plumber could find themselves in the soups line in the event that he do not join the actual entrepreneur membership.
When was the final time the country offers seen a period like this particular… the excellent depression?
Lots of people are dangling on with a thread for their cars, homes, and what is left of the skimpy 401 k's.
Business owners have no idea how to proceed so these people just near their doorways forcing 1000's more from jobs nearly weekly.
If zillion dollar companies are closing why is me think a small company start up can be done in a period of turmoil… Is this particular the query you're wondering?
Entrepreneurial Suggestions: That Special Something which Inspires Each and every Successful Professional to begin a start up business venture
Step from the problem for any minute. Most people are thinking the actual Recession may be the problem. Let's look at some entrepreneurial ideas that need some development and innovative thinking abilities. Could the actual Recession function as the solution to the economic difficulties?
Could this particular potentially function as the perfect time for any low-cost launch business?
Just how long could the typical family pay for costly homes some doubling following 60 times of possession, $5. 00 gasoline prices, the typical car cost $35, 000, and inflation rising to the hemisphere?
The Economic downturn saves your day for the ones that understand (and several do)… the developments and series of economics that will set brand new records along with ground-breaking entrepreneurial suggestions.
Learn 3 methods to out create big business inside a low-cost launch business
These exact same 3 breakthroughs are exactly what assist entrepreneurial achievement and smaller businesses to flourish:
1. Large business offers lost manage: we just about all know people who work with regard to large companies or possess witnessed very first hand the actual slackers on the jobs… their primary objective is to generate entrepreneurial ideas to try and creatively change "father time-clock".
Their single purpose would be to see exactly how innovative they are able to become not to work 8 hours each day… Then you've those human being walkie talkie's… yes…. they do not do deadlift all-day however talk… I'm confident those dropped hours were not calculated to the business start-up price. Can you think the typical employee really works less compared to 4 hours each day?
2. Big business often isn't reasonable: Why will it seem how the most competent persons using the best entrepreneurial ideas aren't leading the actual team.
Many time probably the most egotistical, narcissistic co-worker ends-up using the magical position since the manager that kills entrepreneurial nature, originality as well as inspiration. Wouldn't it appear to be any prosperous entrepreneur could observe that "John" is ruining big time why is he or she still the actual manager?
"Why not really chose an additional manager"? Some large Businesses just do not get it… encouraging entrepreneurial ideas is going to be critical within the new economic climate because competitors will pressure businesses in order to cut free the lifeless weight even though it's their finest buddy.
3. Big Business includes big-risk: and also the biggest danger is managing between performing what's best for that company or even what's best for that stockholders. What many people don't recognize is which companies do not always perform what's within the best interest of the employees (shocking I understand) but instead what's within the interest from the stock cases.
And a few of the greedy cash sucking, stock cases and CEO's possess one goal and something goal just… WIIFM (what's inside it for me personally) to create as a lot money because humanly or even inhumanly feasible, many times in the expense of a large number of others.
With CNN news and also the internet we do not have to elaborate upon that concern much… At the. g. $35, 000. 00 Lavatories, private or even corporate aircraft, cooking the actual books, (sales errors) And so on…
An aged song is actually playing during my head… "God bless a young child that has their own. " And for all those that tend to be metaphorically questioned that's merely means" Lord bless the kid that has her very own home dependent small company's
Well I have done my personal part. The data splattered all around the nightly information and within the Local Paper don't frighten Me. "Are a person goanna allow 'em frighten you"?
Are you going to put in your entrepreneurial considering helmet and obtain in the overall game.
100, 000 individuals (mainly traditional business people and additional professionals) tend to be thrilled regarding exercising their own new discovered entrepreneurial suggestions since the majority of big companies are sinking faster compared to titanic…
Imagine not really worrying or even caring concerning the economy or even about where the next meal is originating from, who's likely to watch the children while a person work two jobs or are you going to even be used next 7 days, month or even year.
Choose to stir your own entrepreneurial juices and begin your company today.
