Simple guide concerning how to find inexpensive car insurance in California and save up to 50%
"Variplan" aroused vehicle insurance strong opposition from lawyers and, such as the Ontario Law Reform Commission Report before it, provoked no legislative action. 1977 Select Committee Report. Inside the mid 1970s a Select Committee with the Ontario legislature began a long study of the entire insurance industry. The committee began by giving its focus on auto insurance and published its first report on that subject in 1977. In that relate the committee elected to not make any major recommendations as to the desirability of adopting any fundamentally new no-fault programme. Rather, it decided to postpone the making of any recommendations like that until a later report. However, the committee did recommend increases inside the amounts of benefits then payable as medical expenses and accident benefits to keep up with inflation. For example, the total amount payable for medical and rehabilitation expenses ended up being to be increased from $5,000 to $25,000; the amount for funeral expenses was to be increased from $500 to $1,000; as well as the maximum disability benefits were to be doubled to $140 weekly (for lost income) and $70 (for unpaid housekeepers). Revision of death benefits have also been proposed. Specifically the committee felt that:
No distinction auto insurance ought to be manufactured in how much death benefits on the basis of if the deceased would be a "head of household" or even a "spouse in the two- parent household". Instead the main benefit in case of the death of a spouse ought to be the identical to that payable upon the death with the "head of household". This benefit ought to be increased to $10,???. For deaths involving other dependants, the recommended amounts were $1,000 (dependant under five years old) and $2,000 (dependant over five years old). These recommendations were implemented in March 1978 by regulations amending Schedule E (as it then was) with the Insurance Act. 1978 Select Committee Report. After the Select Committee had given full consideration to the no-fault question, a majority of its members recommended the adoption of your highly modified plan. Making specific mention of the a no-fault scheme s capability to compensate all victims and also the reduced adjusting and high closing costs involved, the majority felt that fault should cease to "be the essential key to be looked at in determining whether compensation should be paid for motor accident losses." Minimize your car insurance bill each month with Cheapcaliforniainsurance.net!
It had been automobile insurance also felt the benefits of no-fault were "even more compelling" with regards to bodily injury, compared to other loss. It had been therefore proposed that a new scheme supersede the combined tort-accident benefits system for personal injury and death due to automobile accidents. Compensation will be paid on a no-fault grounds for: medical expenses without monetary limit; rehabilitation expenses without monetary limit; partial or total loss of income, subject to a reasonable weekly maximum amount; actual costs incurred for replacement housekeeping or childcare services (subject to an acceptable weekly maximum); death benefits payable over a scale just like that already in position for accident benefits as well as any reasonable funeral expenses; and.

Henry Engineering Debuts Systems Alert Monitor
Henry Engineering's SAM can simultaneously monitor up to 15 individual status conditions.
The Henry Engineering's Systems Alert Monitor is a versatile "watchdog" that monitors the equipment and systems of a broadcast facility. SAM provides an instant visual, audible, and email notification if anything goes wrong or needs attention.
Systems Alert Monitor (SAM) from Henry Engineering is designed for radio and television monitoring applications. It monitors up to 15 status inputs from external station equipment.
Virtually any message can be displayed when triggered.
When a fault is detected, SAM generates an "Alert" text message that is displayed on a video monitor. In addition to visual Alerts, audible alerts and email notifications can also be triggered.
SAM's Alert messages could indicate equipment failure or other significant conditions or malfunctions such as OFF AIR, NO AUDIO, EAS ALERT, HIGH SWR, and more. For example, SAM can detect a ringing phone line such as a control room phone or studio hotline.
A SAM video display can be installed in a studio, engineering shop, or anywhere in a facility where people are available to keep an eye on the station's technical health and overall status.
SAM lists for less than $700 USD and begins shipping in November.

Stop Smoking Hypnosis – The UK's foremost Stop Smoking Specialist
Very easy, it really is! Over the years, I have seen quite literally hundreds of smokers become non-smokers in just one, two hour, session! These are people just like you.
They share your fears and worries about quitting cigarettes, but when they had made that decision to pick up the phone and call me…have found it incredibly easy. With the help from my stop smoking hypnosis sessions, becoming a successful non-smoker forever will be one of the best decisions you've ever made!
I am asked this question quite a lot when I meet people and it's a great question. Let's look at the facts. Despite the plentiful research into the effectiveness of hypnosis as a means to quit smoking, individuals, such as me, just don't have the same level of resources and time that the pharmaceuticals have to promote ourselves. Over 90% on my clients are referrals from people I have already helped. Companies such as Pfizer and Proctor & Gamble who manufacture the lion's share of the NRT (nicotine replacement therapies) have at their disposal an inordinate amount of money to promote their products (Pfizer estimate that their profits for 2009 will be in the region of $46 billion!) In fact, a recent study showed the failure rate for nicotine replacement products helping smokers quit for 1 year or longer was 98.4%.
Only 1.6% of all smokers who used stop smoking products were actually successful after one (1) year! Despite such low success rates, these products still produce healthy profits for these companies.
Client Testimonial
Since coming to see you to give up smoking I can honestly say I haven't touched or wanted to touch a single cigarette. I will be recommending Hampshire Hypnotherapy Centre to everyone. I just can't believe how easy it was to become a non-smoker. I'd save the money the session cost in under a month.
Occasionally when I meet someone who asks what do I they'll tell me something like this. "My friend had hypnosis to stop smoking and it didn't work"
My reply to this question is invariably this, "Who did they see…I bet it wasn't me? Did that therapist spend an hour before the session explaining the psychology of smoking or did that therapist just do the hypnosis part of the session? Did the therapist work from home or from an established centre? Out of ten, how much did your friend want to stop smoking? Maybe they we're just looking for someone to blame so they could say they have tried everything?"
Hypnosis has a long history, longer than is usually realised. There are accounts of hypnosis mentioned in the bible, the Talmud and the Hindu Vedas from 1500 BC. Hypnosis has been used professionally to help people stop smoking since the late 1800's. Such notables as Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Winston Churchill, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and a host of current Hollywood stars such as Kevin Costner, Ben Affleck, Britney Spears and Drew Barrymore have all used hypnotherapy to stop smoking, lose weight or to address other conditions.
The American medical and psychological community has utilized hypnosis for decades for painless surgery, dentistry, childbirth and to effect positive behavioural changes. In fact, studies have shown that hypnosis is particularly effective in modifying certain habitual behaviours such as smoking, overeating and poor public speaking.
In 1993, the results of the largest, worldwide, study ever recorded to evaluate stop smoking methods were published in the New Scientist magazine. The study included thousands of people in Europe, America and Asia and revealed that hypnosis was far more effective than any other method in helping people to quit smoking. The reason hypnosis is so effective in changing the smoking habit lies in the way it utilizes the very nature of the human mind.
The reason people just like you remain smokers and find it difficult to quit is because of a belief system. It's a belief system that's very well formed. I like to think of that belief system as being like a brick wall. It's a brick wall with each brick being a particular belief such as 'it's a habit', and 'Uncle Frank smoked 40 cigarettes a day and lived till he was 100', and 'It helps me concentrate' and most incredibly 'it relaxes me'… even though we all recognise that cigarettes are a stimulant. The cement in this brick wall is the need to smoke. In just one session with me, together we knock those brick's down one by one, re-build a totally new belief system and make it incredibly easy for you to become a non-smoker.
I love it when a smoker comes to me and says this because I know that becoming a non-smoker will be easy for this person. Why? Well, quite simply, if you believed that you we're addicted to something you would find it hard to stop. Who wouldn't? However, that belief is just a marketing deception put in place to make it hard for people just like you to quit smoking.
Let me explain…I'm sure like most smokers, you know people who only smoke socially, or perhaps just at the weekend. You may know smokers who don't smoke in the evening because their partners don't know they smoke (I've helped hundreds of these smokers personally), and smokers who don't smoke at work in the day because they don't want their employers to know they smoke. You may know smokers who only smoke on holiday or don't smoke when they are on holiday, but in my opinion, that doesn't make sense. If nicotine is meant to be one of the most addictive substances on the planet then how can it be that some people only smoke at the weekend? I've certainly never heard of a heroin addict who is only a heroin addict at the weekend! Now you're starting to see what I mean about the deception and lies that surround smoking and cigarettes and believe me, this is just the beginning…
I call this change in belief system the 'Pregnant Lady Principle'. Let me explain. In my practice, I never meet pregnant women who want to stop smoking, why? Well quite simply they do it on their own…IT'S WORTH IT FOR THEM. That's what it feels like to become a non-smoker with me. We are replacing that old habit of smoking with a wonderful feeling of pride and pleasure. Put simply…it's worth it!
By using our stop smoking hypnosis programme becoming a successful non-smoker has never been easier, so why don't you make that decision to pick up the phone today? I promise you, you won't regret your decision. In fact judging from previous client's kind comments, it will be the best decision you'll ever make! After all, as a non-smoker you will potentially increased your life chances by 50% and those are good odds!
Well we could do it in two, three, four or even five sessions but why would you want to spend all that extra time and money when you could do it in one. After all pregnant women who stop smoking do it instantly…they don't need the doctor to tell them to stop more than once!

Hypnotherapy remains the most effective way of stopping smoking. Countless independent research studies continue to prove this fact year after year. A 2005 study of 72,000 smokers from Europe and the US, reported in the Journal of Applied Psychology, showed that hypnosis came top as the most effective therapy in helping people to give up smoking.

forget that i mentioned doing anything interesting yesterday--i never got around to it because all of that needlework got in the way.
it was sunny for a little while on monday. so that's something.
bookishly, i'm almost finished with inkheart. i've been reading it very slowly because i don't want it to end. (cornelia funke's other book, the thief lord, is currently in my "hold requests". here's hoping that it arrives before the holidays do.)
and that's it. i mean, i had to start another needlework project because i'm out of the thread that i need for my original one and i don't have time to get to the craft store. but i'm sure that's beyond boring so i won't elaborate.
today, i should be having lunch with j at gordito's. and then, if i have time, i might FINALLY see "marie antoinette". or i might try and track down a jelly roll pan in case i decide to make a modified bûche de noël.

Lakeland (Fla.) Lake Gibson offensive guard Ricky Barnum said he's excited about what his senior season will bring. He believes his team is one of the best in the state and things are also going quite well for him on the recruiting front.
But first things first. Why is he pumped about the season?
"We should be one of the top teams in the state by the end of football season – up there with Booker T Washington and those big schools," Barnum, who is ranked as the nation's No. 23 offensive guard, said. "We could be up there with them by the end of the year.
Article Continues Below
"I'm playing a little bit of nose tackle and offensive line. Me and Jamison Lee the guard that plays by me. I'm playing left tackle and a little bit of defense. Some schools want me to play guard, but there are some schools recruiting me at offensive tackle. Some even say center, I think I could be an awesome center."
Why center?
"After going through practice trying out, I think center would be a good spot for me," he said. "You can't find too many centers at 6-foot-3. I've got good feet and quickness, long arms, good run blocking skills, good pass blocker, but I'd prefer to stay at offensive tackle. I see why schools want me at center, though, and I wouldn't mind it."
When it comes to recruiting, Barnum said a few teams have remained the most consistent with contact.
"I've just been getting letters right now," he said. "Florida, Georgia, West Virginia, Maryland, Florida State, and USF are sending me a lot of mail, but they're not necessarily my top teams.
"I have a top eight or nine, though – Florida, Alabama, Georgia, West Virginia, USF, Miami, Georgia Tech, South Carolina and Ohio State. They're all full ride scholarships. They all sent me the paper in the mail, so I have the proof saying they've offered me.
"I want it down to five so I can have a top five. It's going to be hard, a long decision. Hopefully I'll have it by the end of football season. I'm going to go to games during my football season, but they're not going to be official visits. I'll take my official visits after the football season."
Barnum plans to have a busy fall visiting colleges for games.
"I'm going to about four Florida games, because they'll be playing great teams," he said. "Then I hope to make a Georgia game and a South Carolina game. I'd like to make a West Virginia game, but that's a long drive, so I'm probably just going to take an official visit to West Virginia."
Barnum said he's not really sure if he has a clear-cut leader.
"They're pretty much all even right now," he said. "Florida sticks out the most because they're doing hard recruiting right now. Not a lot of schools are doing that. Then USF, Alabama, and South Carolina are heavily recruiting me. Other schools talk to me but not like they do. If other schools don't start coming after me then those may just be the schools I look at.
"I might play center for (Florida). They want me to play center. They don't want me out there my first year, because I'm going to be a young freshman. I might get redshirted as a freshman or I might start as a freshman. They have great offensive linemen, but I'm pretty confident if I go in there and work hard I could play for any school. "

Great Barrier Reef – Magic
I had 4 amazing days out on Great Barrier Reef snorkeling in the beginning of April and I had a blast. The animal and coral life is so amazing. I saw turtles, sharks (both sleeping and awake), sea cucumbers, starfish in amazing colours, baby squids, baby sting ray, jellyfish, fish in all colours and sizes and I found Nemo 🙂 – Even though the corals are bleached by the increasing acidicness in the ocean they're still amazing. I took so many pictures under water and some are good but they'll never be able to show the real life experience. I chose to take 4 days on the boat and there was always something new to experience on every snorkel even if I had two snorkels in the same reef. The company Reef Encounter has been awarded by TripAdvisor and I must admit it's deserved.
- All the crew was friendly, outgoing, helpful and very skilled.
- The boat was perfect for the "mission".
- The Scottish cook made amazing food and there was more than enough – loved his accent by the way. Actually with my diet this is one of the few places where I've got amazing food and enough food for every meal.
- Beside that the service level was amazing in the water. People that couldn't swim was taken out by one of the crew members with a life saver and life jacket. Everybody was offered either a stinger suit or wet suit.
I chose to up-grade to top-deck because I then would have a personal assistant and since my dyspraxia makes my legs pretty quirky when I've been weightless in the water and because of my food allergies/intolerances. For me it's so important that my safety is in top when having 4 days like this and then I can't compromise with the food. My assistant was Kiri and she was so amazing and I miss her because I felt so comfortable with her and we had so much fun. She was really good at reading my signals and helping me with respect and so I still had my independence. Even more important but rare I felt we're at the same level mentally speaking. At the same time I loved having Kiri to show me all the amazing stuff going on at the different location. Without her I hadn't got the same experience. I must admit, I enjoyed getting the royal treatment.
I loved the security level at the boat like we were all counted 3 times a day where a crew member came around and we had to sign a sheet. Before going out in the water we'd to register and when we got back we had to sign it. One of the diving instructors was on watch and made sure all snorkelers was safe. The first day on the way out to the boat we're thought the signs for I'm ok, I need a pick-up and I'm in trouble. Later I learned the sign for turtle, sting ray etc. So much fun 😀
You can swim in your swimsuit but depending on the season it's wise to cover up some how because of stingers. We didn't have any problem though. The boat have wet suits you can use in the water and if you're not confident in the water it helps you float too.
The best thing though was the amazing people I met and the friends I got on the trip. I'll carry you guys in my heart as a precious memory. And thank you to you guys that gave me a hand when needed. Love you guys.
Reefs we visited: Norman, Hasting and Coral Reef

A Matter of Time--How Juvenile Justice Systems Fail Kids
By David Shapinsky
In South Dakota this week, a non-profit organization filed suit against the state's Corrections Department for its handling of juvenile offenders now incarcerated.
The allegations of mistreatment and abuse are shocking, but perhaps shouldn't be — our nation has been promoting a tougher approach to juvenile crime for years. The results, experts say, are starting to come in.
Fear of 'Super Predators'
The latest wave of tough-on-crime initiatives was born out of fear. Five years ago, arrests for murder, aggravated assault, and robbery were setting records. And some experts began warning about a new breed of young "super predators"—a prediction that led to federal initiatives like the Violent Youth Predator Act of 1996, introduced by Florida Congressman Bill McCollum.
According to many experts and officials, the super predators never materialized. Says one public defender, who asked to remain anonymous: "I don't see that the children have changed very much. I can see that their environment has changed. It's a more dangerous time. Same temptations, but amped up" — because of how easy it is for them to get powerful weapons.
Tough Love Gone Wrong?
Juvenile crime may not have increased, but responses to juvenile crime are increasingly tough and often draconic. Five years ago most young offenders in South Dakota were placed in community-based programs rather than large penal institutions. Since then, children as young as 14 have been placed into large prisons. The system "is both barbaric and counterproductive," says March Schindler, Staff Attorney for the Youth Law Center, a national public-interest law firm that works on behalf of juveniles in the justice system. This past week, Schindler and his colleagues visited a juvenile prison in South Dakota and talked with 12 teenagers. The group walked away, says Schindler, "with the belief that these kids were being severely mistreated," that a poorly trained staff was "totally incapable" of handling their charges, and that the teenagers were suffering from a lack of services as well as from "punitive and arbitrary punishment."
After investigating numerous stories of abuse, the Youth Law Center filed a Class Action lawsuit this week, with these allegations:
These charges come following the death of a 14-year-old girl who was forced to run as punishment — the event that touched off the scrutiny of the South Dakota facilities last year.
- In a practice known as "four-pointing," girls have been tied down in spread-eagle-fashion by male staff, who then cut off their clothing with scissors.
- A 13-year-old boy was confined in isolation for more than 30 days, and severely depressed children are put in isolation without supervision for long periods of time. Children are routinely chained to the doors of their cells in a practice known as "bumpering." All forms of communication between inmates and their families are monitored for negative comments about the facility, and negative comments are punished. Psychotropic medications are being dispensed by staff without adequate training, and without supervision by medical or mental-health personnel.
"They are abusing kids as well as not giving them any treatment," Schindler says. He's worried that the South Dakota juvenile justice system is "creating an engine for crime," making problem kids worse.
Biased System
Further, the system may be biased against kids with learning disabilities. Experts who have profiled juvenile offenders have found that they are often kids who hit a learning wall early in life, who may have trouble reading or progressing through school. Over time, this may become a disability and a frustration. And by the time they reach their teens, the situation can deteriorate. They may act up in school. Violent or anti-social behavior may be their recourse.
If this is not an excuse for criminal behavior, it is nevertheless a haunting reality, especially when literally hundreds of experts will tell you the same thing: the justice system is littered with young men and women with learning disabilities.
And many of these individuals are minorities. Black children aged 10 to 17 are only 15% of the population. Yet they account for 26% of juvenile arrests, 32% of delinquency referrals, 41% of juveniles detained in delinquency cases, 46% of juveniles in correctional institutions, and 52% of juveniles transferred to adult criminal court after judicial hearings.
Furthermore, some studies have shown that white teens who commit the same crimes are less likely to face such extreme policies.
Dangerous Lessons
Yet the politics of juvenile justice rarely seem to reflect the realities. According to the Youth Law Center, more than 40 states have changed their laws in recent years to allow more juveniles to be tried as adults.
This, says the Center, happens despite evidence showing that juveniles who move through adult corrections facilities are "significantly more likely to be rearrested than those kept in juvenile court, commit new offenses sooner, and commit more serious offenses than juveniles kept in juvenile court." One of the most studied and successful programs can be found in South Carolina, where extremely difficult teenagers are helped without being locked away. Rather, staff intervene in their lives in an effort to help the children gain some self-esteem, and work with parents to foster a stable home life whenever possible.
It is a relatively simple, though time-consuming, recipe for change. Schindler says the programs that work are generally small, staff intensive, and directed at helping kids make a connection with a caring adult. That adult doesn't break them down: instead he or she finds some strength in the teenager and builds on that asset. It is an attempt to turn troubled youth into self-respecting citizens.
These attempts, however difficult and costly they may be, are worthwhile. Our current course, exemplified in South Dakota, could prove self-defeating very quickly. The predators of tomorrow may be the children we have failed today.

The final chapter in the Zimbabwe dollar saga?
Here's an interesting fact. Remember all those worthless Zimbabwe paper banknotes? The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ), Zimbabwe's central bank, is officially buying them back for cancellation. According to its recent monetary policy statement, the RBZ will be demonetizing old banknotes at the "United Nations rate," that is, at a rate of Z$35 quadrillion to US$1. Stranded Zimbabwe dollar-denominated bank deposits will also be repurchased.
As a reminder, Zimbabwe endured a hyperinflation that met its demise in late 2008 when Zimbabweans spontaneously stopped using the Zimbabwe dollar as either a unit of account or medium of exchange, U.S. dollars and South African rand being substituted in their place. Along the way, the RBZ was used by corrupt authorities to subsidize all sorts of crazy schemes, including farm mechanization programs and tourism development facilities.
Upon hearing about the RBZ's buyback, entrepreneurial readers may be thinking about an arbitrage. Buy up Zimbabwe bank notes and fly them back to Zimbabwe for redemption at the RBZ's new official rate, making a quick buck in the process. But don't get too excited. The highest denomination note ever printed by the RBZ is the $100 trillion note. At the RBZ's demonetization rate, one $100 trillion will get you... US$0.003. With these notes selling for US$10 to $20 as collectors items on eBay, forget it—there's no money to be made on this trade. If you've already got a few $100 trillion Zimbabwean notes sitting in your cupboard, you're way better off hoarding them than submitting them to the RBZ's buyback campaign.
But this does give us some interesting data points about the nature of money. Last year I wrote two posts on the topic of whether money constituted an IOU or not. With the gold standard days long gone, central banks no longer offer immediate redemption into some underlying asset. But do they offer ultimate redemption into an asset? A number of central banks—including the Bank of Canada and the Federal Reserve—make an explicit promise that notes constitute a first claim or paramount lien on the assets of the central bank. This language implies that banknotes are like any other security, say a bond or equity, since each provides their owner with eventual access to firm assets upon liquidation or windup of the firm.
George Selgin is skeptical of the banknotes-as-security theory, replying that a note's guarantee of a first claim on assets is a mere relic of the gold standard. However, the Bank of Canada was formed after Canada had ceased gold convertibility. Furthermore, modern legislation governing central banks like the 2004 Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) Law declares that banknotes "shall be a first charge on the assets of the CBI." [See pdf]. So these promises certainly aren't relics of a bygone age. The Zimbabwean example provides even more evidence that a banknote constitutes a terminal IOU of sorts. After all, Zimbabwean authorities could have left legacy Zimbabwe dollar banknotes to flap in the wind. But for some reason, they've decided to provide an offer to buy them back, even if it is just a stink bid.
Given that banknotes are a type of security or IOU, how far can we take this idea? For instance, analysts often value a non-dividend paying stock by calculating how much a firm's assets will be worth upon break up. Likewise, we might say that the value of Zimbabwean banknotes, or any other banknote, is valued relative to the central bank's liquidation value, or the quantity of central bank assets upon which those notes are claim when they are finally canceled. If so, then the precise quantity of assets that back a currency are very important, since any impairment of assets will cause inflation. This is a pure form of the backing theory of money.
I'm not quite willing to take this idea that far. While banknotes do appear to constitute a first claim on a central bank's assets, the central bank documents that I'm familiar with give no indication of the nominal quantity of central bank assets to which a banknote is entitled come liquidation. So while it is realistic to say that the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe always had a terminal offer to buy back Zimbabwe dollars, even during the awful hyper-inflationary period of 2007 and 2008, the lack of a set nominal offer price meant that the value of that promise would have been very difficult to calculate. More explicitly, on September 30, 2007, no Zimbabwean could have possibly know that, when all was said and done, their $100 trillion Zimbabwe note would be redeemable for only US$0.003. The difficulty of calculating this terminal value is an idea I outlined here, via an earlier Mike Friemuth blog post.
While the final chapter of the Zimbabwe dollar saga is over, the first chapter of Zimbabwe's U.S. dollar standard has just begun. Gone are the days of 79,600,000,000% hyperinflation. Instead, Zimbabweans are experiencing something entirely new, deflation. Consumer prices have fallen by 1.3% year-over-year, one of the deepest deflation rates in the world and the most in Africa. With prices being set in terms of the U.S. dollar unit of account, Zimbabwean monetary policy is effectively held hostage to the U.S. Federal Reserve's 12 member Federal Open Market Committee. Most analysts expect the Fed to start hiking rates this year, so I have troubles seeing how Zimbabwean prices will pull out of their deflationary trend. Few people have experienced as many monetary outliers as the citizens of Zimbabwe over such a short period of time. I wish them the best.

I would think that the Zimbabwe episode is what proves backing theory wrong.ReplyDelete
With a gold standard world, the value of paper money depends primarily on redeemability. When redeemability is suspended temporarily, then backing is probably the least bad theory for the value of the paper money (not the gold.)
If there is a strong commitment to some nominal anchor, then it is kind of like a gold standard. The value of paper money depends on the nominal anchor. If there is a temporary suspension, failure, or whatever it should be called when there is no explicit default, then the backing theory is probably the least bad approach.
If the government issues the paper money, then it is the government's overall solvency that counts.
The fiscal theory of the price level appears to be that interest bearing debt is paramount, and the obligation to keep money on its nominal anchor bears zero weight.
Oh, and by the way, a "k percent" base money rule is approximately the same as the irresponsible print money and spend it approach in making the backing theory irrelevant.Replies
"If the government issues the paper money, then it is the government's overall solvency that counts."Delete
Huh? How would the government's solvency affect the value of fiat money? Of course, if the government is *printing money* to try to become solvent, *that* affects the value of the money.
"US$0.003 cents."ReplyDelete
OK, what is this number supposed to mean? You have two units attached to it! The number is *either* $0.003 *or* 0.003 cents. But right now I have no idea which.Replies
Thanks. Fixed. It's $0.003.Delete
The United States is not the only country to use dollars as their currency. Just offhand I recall that Singapore, Australia, and Hong Kong also issue dollars. Sometimes it is necessary to distinguish which dollar you're talking about, so US$ is not a redundancy. I grant that in the context one would expect US$ to be the subject of discussion, but it is never a bad idea to remove ambiguity.Delete
Money has value due to expected future use. I see no reason to expect there to be a single form of future use all money value can be reduced to/seen as anchored in.ReplyDeleteReplies
Money has value due to expected future use, and it has future use because it is expected to be valuable. It's a circular argument, which is one of the great challenges of understanding money.Delete
My observation is that both the Central Bank and the private sector has money to lend. The huge difference between the two sources of loans is that the Central Bank must "print" the money it loans while the private sector must first "earn" the money it loans.ReplyDelete
A bond issued by a borrower is nothing more than acknowledgement that the borrowed money will be returned in the future.
Do you know if Zimbabwe had a private sector borrowing program? Or were nearly all loans issued by the Central Bank who was "printing" the new money?
You'd imagine that the value of money is based on its ability to command goods and services, so as long as someone is willing to accept it as payment it has some value. Accepting money then becomes a bet on the economy's willingness and ability to provide goods and perform services in exchange for it in the future.ReplyDelete
In some ways it is like the electromagnetic theory of light. Is it an electric or magnetic phenomenon, each seems to cause the other but with no original "there" present, just an eternal dance.Replies
You would think that the fluctuations in the price of gold in recent years would get people to think more about what "value" really means. Marx had to start out Capital, Vol. 1, with a discussion of "use value" compared to "exchange value." Money is not useful for buying things because it represents something valuable, money is valuable because we can use it to buy things. Granted, fiat money requires some care in managing its issuance, but remember that commodity money (gold and silver coins) *always* had a higher face value than the price of the metal in the coins. When Spain gained large quantities of gold and silver from the New World, the result was a ruinous inflation of prices throughout Europe, but especially in Spain.Delete
The exchange value of money makes perfect sense when trading a weeks labor for a weeks groceries, rent, gas and other items.Delete
The long term value of money becomes much more important when trading a years worth of effort for the start of next year's effort. I am thinking here of a wheat farm example. One year's harvest is the financial base of the next crop. Harvest is sold for money (something that has value). The money is then used incrementally throughout the year to purchase fertilizer, taxes, seed, sprays, tools, fuel, and finally, harvest expenses. A depreciating money during the year is a disaster to the wheat farmer who may run out-of-money before the next crop is mature.
I think Zimbabwe farmers depended upon international fuel, fertilizer, and chemicals. If so, there would have been an extreme need to sell the crop for what ever currency would be stable in terms of fuel, fertilizer, and chemical prices. The Zimbabwe farmer would have a strong disincentive to sell for Zimbabwe currency which was in free-fall on the international exchange market.
The farmer in this example would agree that money has 'exchange value' but he is also depending upon the 'store of value' aspect of money as a vitally important feature of his annual economic cycle.
wow its long nominal :)ReplyDelete
Zimbabwe's situation, as horrible as it was, is unfortunately far from unique; there have been several hyperinflationary episodes in several different nations over the past 100 years (Weimar Republic, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Armenia, Nicaragua, etc.). At the end of the day, greedy governments, reckless money printing, unrestrained spending, and dismal economic output can create a "perfect storm" for a loss of confidence in the currency. What's so terrible about it in my mind is that it is primarily the result of short-sighted monetary policy decisions, typically made by only a handful of people, yet it affects millions of people in a destructive manner. Great post, by the way!ReplyDeleteReplies

alot of people say the 100 trillion dollar zimbabwee note is the largest ever printed, however many people are saying hungary or some other coutnry i cant recall exactly had an even larger note. its amazon to see how the price of these notes has skyrocketed. a year ago you could purchase these from amazon for a couple bucks a piece and now people are asking $70 or more for them http://buyiqd.com/collections/all/products/100-trillion-zimbabwe-unc-notesDelete
The convertibility of money is there. When the government issues you with a tax bill of $100 it will only accept $100 of the money that it has issued as payment. One dollar of money is converted into one dollar of tax payment. Your liability to the government, and the possibility of going to jail if you don't meet that liability, is what backs the money.ReplyDelete

The Zimbabwe Dollar was just recently cashed in by the Zimbabwe government at 0.40 cents per 100 trillion note and there's sites in the state selling these for over $70. are there not many of these around? it has to be because this item is nothing but a collectible now http://buyiqd.com/collections/all/products/100-trillion-zimbabwe-unc-notes. i bought a few back in the day as gag gifts to put in birthday cards. i think a year ago i paid like $2 with free shippingReplyDelete

Arrival in Dar
Dar es Salaam Travel Blog› entry 1 of 4 › view all entries
Leaving San Francisco Friday evening, we arrived in Dar Es Salaam Sunday morning, thus concluding the oddest weekend ever with the longest day imaginable. By 8am, we had checked into our rooms and were eager to start our Africa experience. By 11am, I was baking in the shade poolside at the Holiday Inn and had fallen deep asleep, only to wake up to the odd sound of a peacock cry every few hours or so. By 3pm, we decided it officially felt like the day was lasting weeks and ventured off to a nearby marketplace to try to get acclamated to our unusual surroundings.
Driving through Dar on Sunday was as strange as the sound of the frequent peacock cry and similarly eerie. This was the largest city in Tanzania (a country 1.5x the size of Texas) and there was no one to be seen. We drove for 30 minutes through the town center, along the coastline of crystal clear water (it was hard to believe our driver's warnings not to swim in the toxic beach, until you cracked a window and smelled the sewage) and past the foreign diplomats beachfront mansions, all the while never spotting more than one or two people resting here and there under a tree in the shade.

Dunkin' Donuts takes to the cloud for customer loyalty
Dive Brief:
- Dunkin' Donuts is taking a customer-first approach through personalization to encourage engagement and loyalty according to a company release. The brand reports having sent 1.5 million customers through onboarding journeys and expects to deliver more than 700 million emails this year.
- The effort is being driven by Salesforce Customer Success Platform, which allows Dunkin' to analyze customer behavior throughout the journey for the restaurant's DD Perks loyalty program, from acquisition to onboarding to engagement.
- The personalized messages Dunkin' sends members include educational reminders about program benefits, promotional offers on products the member likes and details on how to make the best use of the app.
Dive Insight:
With the approach to its loyalty program, Dunkin' Donuts is proving to be another brand that understands the customer-driven nature of marketing today. A major part of this shift is technology. On the customer side of things, they are in control of what they see, when they see it and where for everything from research to simple exposure to a brand. On the brand-side, data provides insights into this consumer behavior which allows marketers to tailor messaging to match those elements of what, when and where in order to effectively get messages to a receptive audience.
Dunkin', like many brand marketers with physical locations, is looking to integrate the online, offline experience. One way the company is accomplishing this is with the Dunkin' mobile app, which has been downloaded more than 16 million times since its launch in 2012. Leveraging the Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Dunkin' enables customers to receive exclusive mobile offers, order on-the-go and pay from their mobile device.
"The demands of customers today are greater than they've ever been due to the wealth of information and access right at their fingertips, and if Dunkin' isn't delivering on those expectations, our customers will go somewhere else that will," said Scott Hudler, SVP and Chief Digital Officer at Dunkin' Brands, in the release.

Highway to Hellas Trailer (2015)
The life of Jorg Geissner, a German banker, totally transforms with a visit to Paladiki Island, Greece. A business trip to check on a project called "Galapagos in Greece" by the islanders and for which his bank extended a loan and credit, brought him there. Being a German, he wants to investigate thoroughly, but Panos, a mini-mart owner, and the mayor try their utmost to sabotage him—to camouflage a not-so-good reality. After every single trial resulted in nothing because of the islanders' secret meddling, Jorg's trip becomes elongated, like The Odyssey's, forcing him to contemplate the priorities and responsibilities in life again.

The week before the giant excavator tore apart her burned out home in San Bruno, Carlene Vasquez sat on the front porch and said goodbye.
"Thank you, home," she said. "You've been good to us."
It's been seven months since a PG&E gas pipeline exploded and a fireball roared through the Crestmoor neighborhood, killing eight people and destroying 38 hillside homes. Carlene and Art Vasquez know they are two of the lucky ones. They survived. But since the September inferno, this couple in their 60s who raised their three children here have had to come to terms with what it really means to lose not just their house, but their home. In every way, through pain and with hope, they are making their way back.
"I can't explain it," Carlene said, "but for the first time, I feel like I'm getting back to normal."
Last week, the couple whom the Mercury News has been chronicling since the blast stood in front of 1127 Glenview Drive, now an empty, mud-covered lot, and talked about plans to rebuild and whether it was possible to infuse the new home with the warmth and love of the old. It's an ordeal that many of their neighbors are experiencing as each faces some different degree of loss and decides whether to rebuild or take a buyout from PG&E. All that's left of those homes down the hill now are wild grasses and purple lupin that have sprung up from the spring rains, all hemmed in by chain link security fences.
'Buckingham Palace'
In 1978, when the Vasquezes bought the shingled, split-level home with three bedrooms and a family room downstairs, Art was 29 and Carlene was 27 and pregnant with their third child. The $106,000 price tag seemed a fortune back then for Art, an operator at an electrical substation for PG&E, and his stay-at-home wife. The house was simple and cozy but seemed huge compared to their first home. Art was so proud of the house that one of his friends used to joke, "How's everything up in Buckingham Palace?"
This is where their two sons, Carlos and Joe, suited up for soccer games, where their daughter, Bonnie, got ready for proms, where the family made tamales for Christmas, where every party, whether for a birthday or baptism, was a "rip-roaring" one, with extended family dancing and drinks spilling on the wall-to-wall carpeting. When the three grandchildren visited, they would perform magic shows in the living room around the old oak coffee table.
The front porch was a favorite spot where, on visits from Arkansas, Carlene's mother would be relegated to smoke her cigarettes and Carlene and Bonnie would have long talks.
The Vasquezes barely considered PG&E's offer to buy their property. Their homeowner's insurance policy will be paying for the reconstruction. The couple were both raised in San Francisco, but "our roots have become San Bruno now," Carlene said. "We both just decided this is the place. This is home."
'Beautiful' effort
The kids had long since married and moved out by Sept. 9 when, as Art recalls, "that thing, that thing" came barreling up the street. He was home alone, watching TV in his leather chair and had just gotten up when he heard what sounded like a 747 airliner roaring overhead. Out the window, he saw reflected in his neighbor's van window the glowing orange fireball that had erupted a block away. In stocking feet, he reached for his lace-up shoes. He didn't have time to put them on, instead running outside and up the hill, passing gape-mouthed neighbors watching the catastrophe below.
He didn't see the flames devour his house. That night, when he reunited with his wife — who had been playing bingo at the Senior Center at the time of the blast — along with his children and grandchildren at their son's condo, their son received a text message from an old friend. Scott Waldvogel, who had played as a child on the soccer team that Art had coached, was a San Bruno fireman. "We tried. We tried," Waldvogel's message said. "There was just no water."
It was a text, but "it was beautiful," Carlene said, "the feeling that someone you know was trying with all their heart to save it."
Days later, when they were allowed to return to the charred house, they found several framed wedding pictures and family portraits placed gently on the front porch. Some were half burned. The couple still doesn't know who took them off the walls, but they are grateful. "Just knowing that someone cared enough to try," Carlene said, "They were trying to save some part of us."
As they walked through the soggy muck to see what they could salvage, they noticed a framed photo still stuck with a magnet to the refrigerator. It was a snapshot Art had taken of a message scrawled on a blackboard in their family room. Their grandson, Carlitos, then 8, had written "I (heart) GRAMAS HOUSE." It is now a cherished possession.
No place like home
The next weeks were a blur as they moved from one hotel to another. They joined a lawsuit with their neighbors against PG&E, the company Art had retired from. He felt less of a connection to the management he is holding responsible, he said, than with his fellow workers. The couple moved into a rental house in South San Francisco, where they lived through January. "It served its purpose," Carlene said, "but it wasn't me."
Carlene always hosted Christmas on Glenview Drive, but couldn't bear to host it this time in the rental.
"You guys aren't coming home for Christmas," Carlene told her daughter through tears. "This is just a house." Still, on the remains of the Glenview Drive home, Carlene decorated. She draped garland from the porch railing, covered a plywood window with snowman wrapping paper and put a big red bow on the front door. "Merry Christmas," she wrote on it. "Love, the Vasquez family."
On Feb. 1, they moved again, this time just a few blocks from their old home, to a tidy little cul de sac undamaged by the flames. Art has a big comfortable chair to watch TV in, and there is a smaller one for Carlene. The furniture is new, but the rooms are spartan. Nothing hangs on the walls. Since the house isn't theirs, Art worries about leaving nail holes. On their answering machine, Art's voice still tells callers they have reached the "temporary Vasquez residence."
And when they drive to the rental at the end of the day, both Art and Carlene instinctively find themselves pulling onto Glenview Drive. Then they realize: They don't live there now. Sometimes, they would go inside the old house and slog through the remains. It was tough to watch it deteriorate.
Still, every so often, Carlene would meet Bonnie, 36, for coffee on the front porch.
Demolition, then relief
The day of the demolition, March 22, the family gathered across the street to watch as the orange excavator with the giant claw came down through the roof of the front bedroom.
"I remember thinking, 'gentle now, gentle now. Be gentle with my house,'" Carlene said. "Then that first crunch came and I knew we had lost part of our lives together."
As the claw devoured the house, moving bite-by-bite through each room, memories flooded through her: Christmas mornings in the living room, her daughter's room where little Joe would run when he was scared at night; the master bedroom "full of love, joy and sorrow" through four decades of marriage.
As they watched the destruction, Art moved from Bonnie to Joe to Carlos, giving each a hug and kiss. Then he pulled Carlene close and said to her, "it's OK."
Carlene felt it, too.
Their house had been brutalized by fire and sat decaying for months. Out of respect for it, Art said, "it had to come down."
When the house was leveled and they could see beyond the settling dust, they felt a brief wave of relief.
At their rental house a few blocks away, they spread out the plans for the new house that will sit exactly where the old one did. Carlene insisted on one familiar feature with the new house — a porch, with room for two chairs and a railing across the front for the Christmas garland.
She's determined that when it's filled with family, it will feel just as good as the old one.
"I hope so," Art said.
"It will," she said. "We'll just have to make it ours. It won't be easy, but we'll make it ours."

Climate Resilience Toolkit
White House Capitalizes on Web Intelligence to Support New Climate Initiative
Search of the Climate Resilience Toolkit Powered by webLyzard technology
Following a presentation by U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, the White House released the Climate Resilience Toolkit in November 2014. The Toolkit is a new decision support initiative that makes use of the innovative text analysis and knowledge visualization services of webLyzard technology. It provides expert knowledge and a suite of analytic components to help citizens and communities manage climate-related risks and opportunities. The webLyzard platform allows users to identify the most relevant online content across all agencies of the U.S. Global Change Research Program as well as regional climate science centers.
The development was led by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which has been using webLyzard's web intelligence technologies for more than six years. In April 2015, the Toolkit was nominated for the "Green" category of the Webby Awards – the "Internet's highest honor" (New York Times), awarded by the International Academy of the Digital Arts and Sciences.
Press Release: PDF | DOC | TXT (also available in German).
Press Images: Select a file below or download the complete ZIP archive.
The Climate Resilience Toolkit was developed in response to President Obama's Climate Action Plan and Executive Order to help U.S. communities, businesses, and state, local, and tribal governments prepare for, and build resilience to, climate-related changes and extreme events. The Toolkit provides an online entry point for the public to access authoritative information about the impacts of climate variability and change, with tools to help people plan and prepare. The webLyzard platform powers the Toolkit's search function, designed to help visitors quickly locate the most relevant content both within the Toolkit and across all the U.S. federal government's web sites.
Quick Access to Climate Knowledge
"The Climate Resilience Toolkit provides quick and effective ways to access online resources," said Prof. Arno Scharl, Managing Director of webLyzard technology. "To enable the Toolkit's semantic search capabilities, webLyzard integrates relevant documents from regional climate centers and 13 federal U.S. government agencies into a single knowledge repository. Automated methods classify the collected content and enrich documents with high-quality metadata to make them easier to find according to current user needs. webLyzard identifies key topics and actors, summarizes each document and determines its topical, functional, and geographic contexts. The system also integrates linked open data to pinpoint concepts that appear in several different documents, which allows to associate and link these documents."
Toolkit users can query the webLyzard platform for their desired type of resource – funding opportunities, data sets, visualizations, etc. – and group search results by topic of interest. At the same time, communication experts at NOAA can analyze the contained information through webLyzard's interactive visualization services, allowing them to monitor the stream of new online publications and continuously improve the Toolkit's knowledge repository.
Knowledge Extraction and Visualization
The efficient design and deployment of the semantic Toolkit search is a testament to webLyzard's sophisticated capabilities to analyze and visualize digital content. The range of these capabilities is further extended by research pursued together with the Department of New Media Technology at MODUL University Vienna, led by Prof. Scharl: "Two of our current research projects – ASAP and DecarboNet – investigate novel approaches to extract knowledge from online sources in real time. These projects not only analyze news media and corporate communications, but also track emerging stories on social media platforms. A visual dashboard shows relationships among the topics discussed, conveying an in-depth understanding of how the public dialog about these topics evolves."
This ability to detect relationships in digital content also benefits the users of the Climate Resilience Toolkit. It allows them to freely formulate their queries and then use filter options to narrow down the list of search results to specific topics or sources. This enriches the functionality of the Toolkit for millions of citizens and supports the plans of the White House to foster a more active public dialog about effective strategies to reduce risk and improve resilience to climate-related impacts.
Further Information

Participating U.S. Government Agencies. Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Energy, Department of State, Department of Commerce, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Department of Transportation, Department of Agriculture, Department of Defense, Department of the Interior, National Science Foundation, The Smithsonian Institution, U.S. Agency for International Development, Department of Health and Human Services.
Research Projects. Two major European initiatives are currently extending the Web intelligence platform that is powering the portal-wide search of the Climate Resilience Toolkit. The ASAP Project increases the scalability of methods to analyze and visualize big data archives. The DecarboNet Project applies these methods to transform the Media Watch on Climate Change into a collective awareness platform that supports collaborative editing and reveals how information is created and shared in social media communities.

I've scoured the Board for many suggestions and like the idea of high tea, however it seems like for about 20 people it will run close to $1000 (Alice's charges for room rental by the hour)...
I'm now considering brunch/lunch as an option if I could find a more affordable place, or great quality food for the same price (ie not just scones and sandwiches for $1K).
Any suggestions for anywhere in Manhatten. Good food is key. Private or semi-private space would be great. If I could bring my own cake that would be even better.
Places I have already checked with include Public, Cornelia St. Cafe, Palma, Frank, Stanton Social and Craftbar.
