The Social Construction of Money (Wealth/Capital in the 21st Century)*
The political economy of a universal basic income: "your view of what is feasible should not be backwards looking. The normalization of gay marriage and legalization of marijuana seemed utopian and politically impossible until very recently. Yet in fact those developments are happening, and their expansion is almost inevitable given the demographics of ideology... UBI — defined precisely as periodic transfers of identical fixed dollar amounts to all citizens of the polity — is by far the most probable and politically achievable among policies that might effectively address problems of inequality, socioeconomic fragmentation, and economic stagnation."

"Why should it be my responsibility ... to quench my neighbors thirst?"
"We've seen the price of food become more expensive than ever three times in five years. Normally we'd see three price spikes in a century," said Kaufman. "And part of the reason is this new kind of commodity speculation in food markets." In an article published Oct. 24 in Nature[subscription required], Kaufman describes what he calls "Wall Street's thirst for water" — the push to turn water into a commodity like food, with the same instruments that produced the mortgage-backed security collapse and 2008 financial crisis.Public or Private: The Fight Over the Future of Water [more inside]

In Praise of Leisure - "Imagine a world in which most people worked only 15 hours a week. They would be paid as much as, or even more than, they now are, because the fruits of their labor would be distributed more evenly across society. Leisure would occupy far more of their waking hours than work. It was exactly this prospect that John Maynard Keynes conjured up in a little essay published in 1930 called 'Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren.' Its thesis was simple. As technological progress made possible an increase in the output of goods per hour worked, people would have to work less and less to satisfy their needs, until in the end they would have to work hardly at all... He thought this condition might be reached in about 100 years — that is, by 2030." (via) [more inside]

Comments about Womens Nike Miler Long Sleeve No Zip Technical Tops:
nike gets major props for extending the torso on their shirts. you don't know what a major turn on this is from all the other athletic shirts. i can't wait to test it out with the wind and weather in my city, but hope i don't overheat or freeze in it.i have a couple of the short sleeved milers, and the ventilation and cut are incredible, so much so that i had to get the long sleeve one.i could always depend on sweating heavily in it all day and not have it show, and not have to stop and change shirts or get overheated.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Why is Social Listening Fundamental For Your Business?
by Emma Pauw • • 0 Comments
Following our ASRE post, we look at why social listening is a crucial part of the 'Awareness' stage when formulating your social media Strategy. Here's why:
Social media listening is a fundamental tool for any business. Although many companies are not ready to dive into the social media realm to increase brand awareness and reach customers, all should be utilising these platforms to listen (or monitor as it's often called). Although there are a variety of platforms set up to help you monitor social media usage, such as Meltwater Buzz, it can also be done manually for those smaller businesses.

Freelance Market: IT Business Opportunities for Remote Workers
by Megan Ritter • • 0 Comments
In the United States, freelancing has experienced a boom over the last several years. Currently one third of all workers in the US are considered to be "independent," and that number is expected to grow exponentially over the next several years. Some estimates indicate that by 2020, freelancers will make up 40 percent of the workforce.
Some fields lend themselves to freelancing, while others do not. It's not likely you'll find many freelance dentist in your city, but you will likely find many freelance IT professionals. Last year, of the $6.8 million earned by freelancers, 54 percent was paid to those working in the technology industry.

The legacy of legendary dancer and choreographer Honey Daniels lives on in spirited 17-year-old Maria Bennett. After a brush with the law, Maria has returned to her gritty Bronx roots to rebuild her life with nothing but a talent for street… More The legacy of legendary dancer and choreographer Honey Daniels lives on in spirited 17-year-old Maria Bennett. After a brush with the law, Maria has returned to her gritty Bronx roots to rebuild her life with nothing but a talent for street dance and a burning ambition to prove herself. She finds refuge in the place that made her feel most alive as kid-the rec center where Honey's exuberant classes first ignited her passion for dance. Keeping on the straight and narrow means living with Honey's mom Connie and holding down a job just to make ends meet. But a rare night out at a local dance club gives her an opportunity to let loose with a joy and energy she had almost forgotten. Maria's killer moves catch the eye of Brandon, a Rec Center volunteer, who invites her to help him transform a group of gifted but undisciplined dancers called the HD's. Maria's skills also attract the attention of her old boyfriend Luis, the charismatic leader of the award-winning 718 dance crew, who hopes to lure her back into the street world she is trying to escape. Seeing a chance at creating a new and meaningful life, Maria pours her heart and soul into dance and begins training the HDs to compete on the television dance competition "Dance or Die"-which means going up against the 718 and Luis. Like Honey before her, Maria rediscovers the thrill of dancing as she finds out who she truly is and where she belongs.

Nearly every dance film cliché is done to death here, but at least the hip-hoppery is spectacular, played out before a panel of judges who make Cheryl Cole look like a genius.Full review…
Pointless sequel is a waste of time, too mature for tweens.Full review…
This genre is now as conventionalised as kabuki and noh theatres in its acrobatic choreography and dramatic cliches.Full review…

Some years back while dining at a local restaurant I spotted an "older" couple a few tables down the way. There was nothing particularly noteworthy other than the fact they did not seem to have much to talk about. Glancing surreptitiously their way during the course of the evening I don't recall catching them engaged in conversation once. I remember whispering to my wife "I hope we are never like that, with nothing to say to each other."
What I did not realize at the time is some couples are comfortable with silence. They don't feel the need to fill the air with small talk. They are perfectly happy simply being together. There is no pressure to perform, no need to come up with a good one, just a relaxed air of familiarity and acceptance. And it is a good thing.
It's ok to be quiet. I truly enjoy mornings when I find my way to the backyard with a cup of java in hand and plop myself into a lawn chair. All the noise I need comes from nature around me getting under way for a new day. Birds of all shapes and sizes flit around the feeder engaging in their own dialogues. A slight breeze flutters the leaves in nearby trees causing a pleasant swishing. The pair of hawks that has taken up residence in the neighborhood circles above, climbing ever higher while voicing their distinct cries as they survey their kingdom. Misty the cat finds a comfortable spot at my feet and commences her enthusiastic purring of contentment. All the while not a word has been spoken and yet a smile graces my face. It's ok to be quiet.
When I drive I rarely turn on the radio. I prefer to be alone with my thoughts, taking in the passing landscape. Although music can be relaxing I find all the advertisements and persistent news updates far more distracting than calming. Instead I quietly tool on down the road. As my dad would say, "the silence is deafening." I find this time to be a perfect opportunity to catch my breath, let the stress gradually seep out of my body, and even think up a good blog topic every now and then.
I admit I have never been one for small talk. Sure I could hold my own at those business cocktail parties and actually found it easy to raise a laugh or two. But after about an hour at it I find myself growing tired losing interest. I always feel if I have something worthwhile to say I will. If not, why monopolize the airways? There are more than enough people impatiently waiting for any slight lull in the conversation to share their wisdom and insights.
My wife and I enjoy the quiet we share. Neither feels the need to talk just for the sake of talking. We share our thoughts and feelings as they naturally arise. As fate would have it on occasion we find ourselves at dinner silently enjoying being together. Perhaps some younger couple looks on feeling pity mistakenly assuming we cannot think of a thing to talk about. Quite the contrary – we could not be happier. We are comfortable and content being near one another – nothing more needs to be said.
And while enjoying those quiet moments our hands remain iPhone free, a rarity for sure. Most people these days whether at dinner or in line or walking down the street do so with their ever present phone monopolizing their attention. It is one thing to be together in silence with your attention focused on one another. It is quite another to abandon your date as your attention is pulled away toward unrelated topics. I find it disrespectful and belittling to pay more attention to a phone than to the real live person across the table. The message sent is you are not as important as the next text or YouTube or funny cat picture. Too many feel they cannot do without their always connected life unaware they are missing real connections with real people right in front of their eyes. (Getting down from my soapbox now…)
My dad has always been a listener. He pays patient attention to the conversation and on occasion interjects something worthwhile. Dad never feels the need to say something just for the sake of speaking. There are plenty people out there more than happy to assume that role. The fact that he married a skilled conversationalist is a plus. Between the two they are the perfect couple to invite to events as their busy calendar reflects.
The world we live in is a noisy boisterous place with perpetual input assailing our senses. It is not easy to find a safe haven away from it all where you can hear yourself think. But it is important to find a silent moment, a time to refocus and recharge. Some down time in a busy world is a good thing. For my wife and me a little silent togetherness proves to be just the ticket.

Disarming (temporarily) Side Curtain Air Bags
buckyNovember 15, 2010
Good Day Fellas: I have a real annoying rattle coming from the seat belt mechanism on the side post between the doors on my wife's 07 Malibu. I was going to remove the interior upholstery panel to get at the rattle but am reluctant to do so until I disarm the air bag located in this area. Can I disarm the bag by disconnecting the battery cable or is some other procedure necessary.
Thanks a lot: Bucky2
Thanks for the response to my inquiry mxyplx. As the make and age of our vehicles is very different I'm reluctant to presume that they're the same set-up. Setting off an air bag is not something I want to chance so I'll have to do some more homework on this. Thanks again for the info on your Ford though. Bucky2

Demanding protection for social banking practices, security schemes
KOCHI: The United Forum of Bank Unions will hold a nation-wide strike on October 27 demanding protection for social banking practices and security schemes.
The forum has urged the Union Government to scrap the policies of outsourcing of basic banking services and clearing operations and withdrawal of bank merger moves and dilution of voting rights. It has sought recruitment in various banks, universalisation of the pension scheme, compassionate appointments, and protection of trade union rights.
State convener of the forum V.J. Johny said here on Friday that employees and officers in commercial banks would participate in the strike.
He said the Reserve Bank of India had issued a circular permitting banks to outsource all normal banking services to private agencies on commission and contract basis. The outsourcing works include opening of bank accounts, withdrawal of cash, deposit of cash, issuance of drafts, and sanction and disbursement of loans.
Mr. Johny said that outsourcing would affect the jobs of bank employees and endanger the secrecy and security of customer transactions.

Credit Scores and Reporting
Student loans are keeping more potential home buyers from qualifying for a mortgage.
Many potential buyers, including young professionals, can't get financing, are left out of the housing recovery, says the Obama administration.
Quite possibly, according to recent data released by mortgage industry solutions provider Ellie Mae.
These "boomerang buyers" could make up a large number of future home sales, considering that 4.8 million borrowers have lost their home to foreclosure since the housing crash.
Lending standards are tight everywhere, but in some states, the odds may be stacked against you even more.
The number of eligible home buyers who will have had a foreclosure on their record will reach 1.5 million by the first quarter of 2014.
Credit reports are used by lenders to judge mortgage applicants, yet a large number of Americans have errors on their report that could make them pay a higher fee.
Find out which states boast the highest median credit scores among mortgage applicants.
A group of housing advocates are pushing for a new type of subprime loan for applicants with lower incomes or bad credit, but some critics are calling the proposal a "stupid and crazy idea."
New rules from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will change the process for home buyers trying to obtain a mortgage.

Tony Abbott has said he is very good at fighting Labor, but not much good at fighting Liberals. Well, the sacking of Philip Ruddock shows he was at least prepared to give it a good try.
And only days later it was Human Rights Commission president Gillian Triggs who was in the firing line over the report on children in detention.
Abbott lacks the subtlety of his mentor Howard and appears to believe that the best, indeed the only, form of defence is attack.

The professional politicians of the Liberal Party have been in a united chorus of denial during the leadership crisis, saying that "our policies are basically sound, it is just that the navigation has gone awry".
This reveals how disconnected they have become from the people, and is a self-serving fantasy nurtured by blinkered political know-it-alls.
Well, the public sees things differently and loudly and persistently they have rejected the professionals and want to give the amateurs a go.

The big question after the Queensland electoral earthquake is whether the aftershock may yet topple Tony Abbott in far off Canberra.
The Prime Minister's press club address wasn't the smasheroo his supporters might have hoped, though he did offer sweeteners like spending on infrastructure and child care while promising no new taxes for business.
Whether this unashamed populism will convince the voters, and more immediately the party room, remains to be seen.

The Productivity Commission inquiry into employment laws may not literally lead to WorkChoices, but it could look like a bloody good imitation of it.
At the top of the inquiry's list are the minimum wage, penalty rates and unfair dismissal laws - all of which put Tony Abbott in a difficult spot.
He will either have to squib on real changes, which will attract scorn from big business, or he'll have to reprise Howard's suicide pact of 2007 and take changes to the 2016 election.

While Tony Abbott has unquestionably suffered another setback, it can hardly be called a triumph for Bill Shorten.
Once again the Opposition Leader has won only by default; his opponents have simply fallen over. And in the process Shorten has been seen as reactive and opportunist rather than actually taking the lead.
And thus we bring in the new political year: an alternative prime minister who may still be unelectable, and a Prime Minister who is, in the opinion of many of his supporters, becoming increasingly unre-electable.

Tony Abbott has promised that 2015 will be the year he will deliver on jobs and families.
Like so many of his promises, this is easy to say, but it might be difficult to achieve. He's facing a stubborn and unpredictable economy, a recalcitrant and edgy public and unhappy troops.

If the next budget is seen as a reprise of 2014 - second verse, same as the first - then Tony Abbott will be in real, perhaps even terminal, trouble.
Logic dictates it is time for decisiveness and even daring; the budget remedy has to include a fix which is dramatic, equitable and above all plausible.
But we are unlikely to get either. Despite all the bravado and bluster, history reveals that our Prime Minister is actually a cautious soul, disinclined to shirtfront the rich and powerful.

Finally one barnacle has been removed from the Abbott Government, and just in time for Christmas: Arthur Sinodinos is gone as assistant treasurer.

The original $7 GP co-payment plan may have been unpopular, but Tony Abbott's new proposal is something far more serious and sinister.

Last week it was declared that wearers of facial coverings, understood to be Muslim veils, would henceforth be restricted to the glassed-in observation chambers of the House of Representatives.
The rule, which already looks set to be recanted, has been another distraction that will give the critics (and for that matter the supporters) further doubts about our Prime Minister's judgement and stability.

The minor earth tremor you detected around Bathurst cemetery last week was Ben Chifley turning in his grave as Tony Abbott invoked his memory at the United Nations.
It was there the pattern started to develop: we'll take part in the wars, at least when they're America's, but that's it.
The spirit of Chifley, the humble visionary whose optimistic belief in both domestic and international peace and goodwill was a beacon of hope, is to be cynically stolen by the present reality of a man who thrives on conflict and aggression.

For the most part, Tony Abbott's Arnhem Land adventure was about the R words: recognition and referendum.
And while we learned that the latter is likely to be postponed yet again, it is clear that there is still a long way towards agreement on the former.
The Prime Minister has made it clear that he favours a minimalist model on Indigenous recognition, but it would be a great shame if all that emerges from the referendum is a bland motherhood statement.

It appears our Prime Minister is now the global ambassador for coal and remains vehemently opposed to any action on climate change that could affect the economy.
But he is increasingly out of step with the rest of the world, as four major financial institutions and both China and the US distance themselves from the dirty polluter.
Tony Abbott may suddenly find himself representing not just a fossil, but one of value only to collectors of memorabilia.

ID assistance

Hi all,
Just wondering whether any one might be able to assist in identifying this tree/plant.
It's come up in the same spot a number of times after cutting it down. It's incredibly quick growing with hairy/furry leaves/stems, and small purple flowers.
It's probably a weed of sorts, but interested to find out. Any assistance appreciated.
Thank you

If you like Amumu you could look at Singed. I love tanks and hard to kill champs and there is nothing more satisfying then running into the entire enemy team, leading them to an awesome gank while poisoning them, and barely taking any damage.
Senior Member
I love Heimerdinger, he gets a lot of **** on the forums, but I think he is super fun to play. Like someone said before, he's a thinking man's champ, you have to consider a lot when deciding where or when to place turrets. He only has two now, but if you know what to do with them two can be enough. He farms and pushes great, he can be easy to kill if you aren't careful, but if the enemies don't consider you a threat and ignore MR, you build some AP and just go to town on them.
Heimer is a VERY good hero, he just takes a lot of experience to do well with him. You'll start off by throwing random turrets down all over the place and you'll lose games and think he's bad.
Maybe Udyr, Olaf, or Warwick? They are all off-tank DPS junglers, kind of similair to Jarvan and Amumu. Warwick and Udyr are both phenomenal junglers, and if played right can be helpful late game in team fights. Olaf is the same idea as warwick and udyr, but I find him slightly worse.
Junior Member
Heimer does get shutdown by a lot of champs, but is still pretty good if you know what you are doing. Knowing where to put down turrets is key to not having them get destroyed the second you put it down. I ALWAYS max turrets first, then rockets to level 2 and harass the **** out of mid. If you are in a duo lane, maxing grenades second is your best bet.
All in all, he is a little underpowered compared to some champs but I don't have a huge problem. Knowing any champ well enough is the key to winning with them. It just takes practice.
Heimer has been reset so many times now. Heimer has been all about turrets a couple of times. They took that versatillity away. He has also been set up as more of a burst caster Champ a couple of times with turret support and this is how he sits now.
Heimerdinger is one of the best mid champs if played right. Problem is, you really need to glyph him before he becomes good. You also need the same mastery every time: 9/0/21, for that 9% CDR, among other things. For glyphs, Red = MP, Yellow = flat mana regen, blue = flat cooldown, quint = flat cooldown. Get almost 20% CDR starting the game, and mana regen to back it up. You also don't need any items to get max CDR, because his ult will provide the other 20%.
Well, that's how I play him anyways. Best tip I can give you no matter how you play him: have two turrets saved up when you know a team fight is going down.

Latest Lathyrus Reference Libraries
The Everlasting pea (Lathyrus latifolius) is a flowering plant of the genus Lathyrus in the legume family Fabaceae. It is a perennial plant and growing and blooming every year without new seeds being planted. It is less strongly scented than the related annual sweet pea, Lathyrus odoratus. Everlasting peas are sometimes grown as a garden plant but are pervasive and may be difficult to remove. Because of this, this species is often considered to be a weed despite its attractive appearance.
