KUWAIT, Feb 14 (Reuters) - The Islamic Development Bank (IDB), the largest development organisation in the Muslim world, is ready to finance Iraq infrastructure with $500 million, its president Bandar Hajjar said in Kuwait on Wednesday.
Donors and investors have gathered in Kuwait to discuss efforts to rebuild Iraq's economy and infrastructure as it emerges from a devastating conflict with Islamic State militants who seized almost a third of the country.

Wi-Fi on the Links
Page 1 of 1
One does not normally associate lady golfers with cutting-edge technology -- although, as Annika Sorenstam has amply demonstrated, they are not what they used to be.
This week's Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) tournament, the Sybase Big Apple Classic 2003, may change the image of women's golf even further. It is the first LPGA event to deploy Wi-Fi hotspots to bring tournament information to visitors and participants.
Sponsor Sybase
, the data integration
software developer, through its wireless iAnywhere Solutions Inc. subsidiary and in
association with Intel
has set up two hotspots at the Wykagyl Country Club in New Rochelle, N.Y. --
one at the clubhouse and one at the 18th hole.
Anyone who attends the event and brings a Wi-Fi enabled device can use the service, free of charge, to surf the Web or access ISP or corporate e-mail.
The sponsors have also created a special AvantGo channel -- an interactive Web site designed for PDA users -- that will relay up-to-the-minute scores and money standings to visitors and participants on the course and at the Wykagyl clubhouse.
Software from AvantGo, now part of iAnywhere, allows developers to create PDA-friendly Web applications or channels. PDA owners can go to the AvantGo site and use their unit's synchronization utility to download the "Sybase Big Apple Classic To Go" channel, which includes static data such as course and hole descriptions.
During the event, they can open the channel in their PDA browser, click the Refresh button and instantly get up-to-the-minute scores over the Wi-Fi network or, if they're out of range, over Verizon Wireless's CDMA 1X high-speed mobile network. In fact, anyone anywhere can download and use the channel over any Internet connection.
The channel was originally created for about 60 New York-area Sybase clients and other VIPs who will be participating in a pre-tournament pro-am event. "We wanted our customers to see what AvantGo was all about," explains James Ryan, creative and editorial director at Avantgo.
If Sybase was primarily motivated by the marketing opportunity, the LPGA itself was more than willing to go along for its own reasons. Senior vice president and COO Chris Higgs believes it will one day be commonplace for LPGA fans to check their PDAs to get information about players they're watching at an event -- and maybe even watch video replays from other holes during breaks in action.
"Whether it happens today or five years from now," Higgs says, services like the one Sybase has set up here will help the LPGA attract more, and demographically more attractive, tech-savvy, fans to the game.
As with any sporting enterprise, a key marketing objective is to get fans to "bond" with players -- to become interested not just in the game, or the players' performance but in who the players are, where they come from, what they've done. By providing information to fans while they're at an event, it should be possible to hook them on the spot. If they have to wait until they get home to find background on the players they watched, it will be too late, Higgs says.
"Obviously it's a play for the future," he concedes. "But look at how many used the Web ten years ago to check scores -- zero. Now we get two or three million a week at our site. You have to take those initial steps with a new technology like this, you have to see the potential. I believe if we build it, they will come."
It seems unlikely many will come with Wi-Fi devices to this event, however. When we asked AvantGo's Ryan how many he thought might show up, he quips, "That maybe depends on how many read [the 802.11 Planet] Web site."
"This is really kind of a pioneering venture," Ryan adds. "Maybe this first year, not many will come, but maybe next year more will have PDAs. We don't know yet what the overlap is between golf fans and the kind of tech-savvy people who carry PDAs."
Sybase won't say how much it is costing to provide the service at the Big Apple tournament -- or would cost the LPGA if it were paying. Intel is deploying standard Cisco Aironet 1200 series wireless access points, which organizers expect will provide coverage over an area of 300 metres outside.
The cost of developing an AvantGo channel varies widely, Ryan says. In this case, Sybase really created two: a more robust channel with more information for the 60 VIPs who will be issued with HP iPaq Pocket PCs preloaded with the channel, and a second "lite" version for the public, without some of the static information, including detailed player data.
"Most people with these units are still concerned about download speeds and using up too much memory," Ryan notes.
There is also the cost of incorporating a real-time XML feed of the scores.
As enthusiastic as the LPGA is about the service, Higgs doesn't see the tour organization paying for development of a content delivery system in the future. It would likely find a partner to do that -- its contribution being the proprietary information.
Would the LPGA be willing to underwrite the costs of the wireless infrastructure for event sites?
"I don't have enough information yet to answer that question," Higgs says. "This is a pioneering effort -- as it was when we made the decision to invest so heavily in the Internet. In time, we might make the same decision about this. I do believe in the future of it, though, absolutely."
There is nothing new, of course, about event-based or professional sports-related Wi-Fi hotspot initiatives. It's a fertile field, as more than a few vendors have discovered. Other recent initiatives in fact have been more ambitious and more broadly focused than this one.
What's interesting is how much is expected of Wi-Fi beyond simple broadband connectivity -- that it will somehow lend an aura of newness and sophistication to an event. Will women's golf be revolutionized by Wi-Fi? Doubtful. Still, it will be interesting to see if Sybase and the LPGA bring it back next year.

Stepwise dose increases were used in both groups to a maximum 20 µg/day. The primary objective was to demonstrate non-inferiority of lixisenatide vs. exenatide for HbA1c reduction at Wk 24 (predefined non-inferiority margin 0.4%). Hereafter, the 24-wk main treatment period data are presented.
Lixisenatide QD achieved its primary endpoint of non-inferiority in HbA1c reduction vs. exenatide BID (Table). Improvements in mean FPG and the % patients achieving HbA1c <7.0% were comparable between groups (Table). Mean body weight significantly decreased from baseline: 94.5 to 91.7 kg with lixisenatide and 96.7 to 92.9 kg with exenatide. The proportion of patients with AEs and serious AEs was generally comparable between the lixisenatide and exenatide groups. Discontinuations due to AEs (mainly GI events) were 33 (10.4%) lixisenatide and 41 (13.0%) exenatide. Significantly fewer patients experienced symptomatic hypoglycemia with lixisenatide, with 6-fold fewer hypoglycemic events (Table). No severe episodes were reported.
Overall GI tolerability appeared better for lixisenatide vs exenatide, with fewer cases of nausea and vomiting (Table). More lixisenatide patients tolerated the target dose of 20 µg/day (93% vs.83% exenatide). In conclusion, as add-on to metformin, lixisenatide QD was non-inferior to exenatide BID at improving HbA1c, but with less hypoglycemia, slightly less weight loss and better GI tolerability at Wk 24.[figure1]

I hope you are feeling well Connie and Happy New Year.

text: Cummings brings Harvey Moon back after far too long an absence. This time, he's going to the museum with his class (and his pet lizard, Zippy, in his backpack). Unfortunately, early in the day, Zippy is startled by the excited noise made by Harvey's classmates at the museum. After many near-captures, and several funny pages of the chaos Zippy causes, Harvey catches him and decides to lay low for a while. Before he knows it, the museum is closed. Suddenly, the artwork comes to life with charging knights, walking mummies and flying pterodactyls. After another chase through the museum, Harvey and Zippy make it out okay. In an abrupt transition, there are reporters, his parents and schoolmates waiting outside, all happy to find the missing Harvey. The final page offers a humorous ending that's likely to be found amusing only by adults. The illustrations are the strength here: Cummings uses lots of color and humor while cleverly showing the relationships between the museum contents and Harvey's tale. (Picture book. 3-6)

It doesn't seem so long ago that investing in anything related to the automotive sector seemed to be an invitation for a capital loss. Companies struggled with excess capacity, high debt and nonviable cost structures, and more than a few companies at least flirted with bankruptcy (and some made the commitment to it).
Investopedia Markets: Explore the best one-stop source for financial news, quotes, and insights.
Now, though, is seems like a new industry. Many companies have worked to strip costs out of their operating structure and emerging markets have become a major growth opportunity. Though investors should not assume that this industry has shaken off its traditional cyclicality, opportunities could still be available in the sector.
BorgWarner (NYSE:BWA)
Auto part companies do not get much credit (or valuation) for technological innovation, but that seems a little unfair in the case of BorgWarner. Diesel turbochargers and dual clutch technology are both significant growth opportunities, particularly if diesel passenger vehicles become as popular in the United States as they are in Europe. BorgWarner used to pay a dividend and that could resume again as the company shores up its balance sheet. Investors should also note that BorgWarner has less exposure to U.S. automakers than many names on this list.
Federal Mogul (Nasdaq:FDML)
Federal Mogul is one of those auto part companies that did actually go through bankruptcy, but has emerged again as a public company with some momentum in its business. Federal Mogul specializes in engine components, but boasts a fairly sizable (37% of sales) aftermarket business - a business that tends to smooth out the cycles of new vehicle sales. Not only is Federal Mogul looking to expand its aftermarket offerings across multiple price-points, but the company is also moving aggressively to boost its share in emerging markets.
Tenneco (NYSE:TEN)
Tenneco is another company that arguably does not get adequate credit for its R&D, as customers really do appreciate suppliers that can deliver components with better performance and improved features like weight. Tenneco is focused mainly on products in the exhaust and ride control categories and has a reasonably large aftermarket parts business with well-known brands like Walker and Monroe. Growing emerging market business is important here, as is management's decision to expand its offerings for commercial and specialty vehicles.
While many companies struggle to create a defensible niche in the auto parts industry, TRW has perhaps been too good at it. TRW, along with rival Autoliv (NYSE:ALV), has done so well for itself in safety products like seat belts and airbags that it is now the target of a government antitrust investigation. In addition to its sizable safety business, TRW is also active in chassis products and other components. Recently, this company has made significant strides in improving its returns on capital and cleaning up its balance sheet.
Others to Consider
While the prior four auto parts companies offer some pretty interesting stocks at today's levels, they are not the only names worth considering. American Axle And Manufacturing (NYSE:AXL) is a major driveline system supplier and looks undervalued, but gets about three-quarters of its revenue from General Motors (NYSE:GM). Dana (NYSE:DAN), Modine (NYSE:MOD) and Wabco (NYSE:WBC) all merit some due diligence as well.
The Bottom Line
The auto parts industry is not the safest in the best of times, and recent trends in auto sales have been discouraging. However, many of these companies have found multi-year growth opportunities in foreign markets and the globalization of auto and truck manufacturing may help ease some of the historical cyclicality. None of these stocks are conservative and not one of them pays a dividend, but aggressive investors look for some exposure to both industrial and consumer trends should consider this sector.

Sampler Quilt
This has been cast aside for too long. From starting to learn hand patchwork and quilting, I had all of my blocks sewn and ready for quilting and assembling within 6 months and, apart from quilting three of them, I am still at that stage. As usual, I am like a butterfly and keep getting distracted. I have shown some of the blocks I have done in previous posts so will post pics of the rest now so that I am up to date at least with my quilt. First, is Geese in the Cabin, then Oak Leaves and Acorns, Corner to Corner Curve, Mariner's Compass, Floor Tile, Tangled Star, Interlocking Squares and Clamshell.

|By Sian Ballen & Lesley Hauge
Photographs by Jeff Hirsch
The rather marvelously-named Cindy Gallop and her opium-den-bohemian space represent something of a departure for the HOUSE column this week because although we're happy to talk about sex with any of our interviewees, sex was pretty much the entire subject of this interview. That's because former high-powered advertising executive, relentlessly-on-message Ms. Gallop is on a mission to change the way we watch other people having sex—porn to you and me.
She is half-British, half-Chinese and was brought up in Brunei and continued her further education at Oxford. Deciding in her thirties that marriage wasn't for her, she dates younger men, and, as she explained in her TED talk, she discovered that many of them seem to think that in bed they ought to behave like porn stars because that's where they've learned about sex. If she has her druthers, she's going to change that, and eventually, she hopes, the porn industry, by launching her website: makelovenotporn.tv where curated "real world" sex videos showing playfulness, tenderness and passion can be viewed for a fee. Send your sons and daughters! Come one, come all.
One of the things I wanted to start off talking about was that a while back there was this somewhat depressing article in New York magazine about how many younger men these days apparently prefer porn to real sex—I wondered what you made of that?
I think it's like a lot of things in our lives today. Undoubtedly if you're somebody who is not getting laid on a regular basis, then porn is a great retreat … and that's true for men and women by the way. Again, it's like Facebook—it can give you the illusion of connecting with your friends. [This] is one of the things I'm very keen to address. People can very easily lose sight of the things that really make a difference in relationships, [things] that really have a profound effect on you when you have a sort of simulated version of it online.
|Cindy purchased the pair of stags' heads for fifty dollars from a junk shop in the UK.
|A Chanel AK 47 sculpture is by California artist Peter Gronquist.
|Peep Show from a New York gallery leans against a mirror with photos and invitations stuffed into the frame.
|You've chosen a rather prudish country to live in for your enterprise …
I love America. I adore New York. Fundamentally you're right but to be perfectly frank the issues that I highlight with makelovenotporn.com are true everywhere in the world … maybe not Scandinavia. But there are many other wonderful, wonderful things about living here … I'm never going back to London.
Isn't it essentially sex ed, this website?
I really hate being called a sex educator and I'm not a qualified sex educator. What I'm doing is I'm using my background, 27 years of working in brand building, marketing and advertising to create and embed something in popular culture in a way that will make it so entertaining that people won't really at heart know what it is fundamentally doing, which is a form of educating. Teachers write to me all the time and tell me that they use makelovenotporn.com in sex ed classes.
|A large-scale portrait of Cindy in her London apartment by Paul Richard hangs opposite a self-portrait of the artist Paul Richard falling.
|A close-up of one of the stag's heads.
|Gerbil Pope II, 2001 is by American artist, Paul Richard.
|In your attempts not to be judgmental about porn, especially hardcore porn, what is the danger of avoiding just saying outright that most of it is awful? It's nearly all based on some kind of degradation of women. And somehow it manages to be boring at the same time.
Many of the things that people find deplorable about porn are entirely driven by its business model. It's gotten so big, it's gotten conventional. Porn now has norms and rules and conventions, which, by the way, is why so much of it is repetitive and boring. I would like to show the porn industry that it's possible to invent a new, disruptive business model.
The porn industry hasn't even begun to see what the world of porn equally informed by women as well as men looks like. I don't want to be abused, wrecked and destroyed and neither does my pussy. Anyone with a vagina, cannot help but wince at the term finger-blasting. We [at makelovenotporn.com] are creating a new language. I want to make real world sex socially acceptable and socially share-able so that you don't have to slam your laptop shut if someone finds you watching it.

|Well let me tell you a story. I was on the subway quite late one night last week and three young people, a man and two women, got on. The man started watching hardcore porn on his phone while the women casually looked on. Was I being prudish or are they living in a different universe now, where it's okay to watch porn on the subway? They didn't seem to find anything strange about it.
I happen to think that is not appropriate but this is a generation that has grown up sharing everything … once upon a time your marriage proposal used to be very intimate, private moment. You never dreamed of putting it on Facebook, let alone constructing an entire flash mob event around it, putting it on YouTube and hoping for millions of views. Video sharing is now a natural part of life … we live in a world where these lines are being blurred.
I don't know … I think I am prudish. I find porn depressing and I find its endless availability for younger and younger people depressing.
This is also one of the unfortunate things about the kind of porn young people are looking at because there is absolutely, particularly on the male side, ritual male bonding where you circulate the most extreme versions of video.

|Shelves running across the entire length of the front wall are filled with sculpture art and objects. A gold alligator, the 'Guccigator,' by Peter Gronquist keeps watch over Cindy's posh shoe collection. The gold fabric curtain and the overall design of Cindy's loft was done by Stefan Boublil, Creative Director of The Apartment Creative Agency.
|They also house Cindy's massive shoe collection.
|Sex scenes in movies are bad too—formulaic and too perfect.
Yes, everything's really smooth and easy and it takes place on lovely white sheets. But I loved that movie, Friends with Benefits. It has two brilliant, hysterically funny scenes of oral sex—both ways, boy to girl and girl to boy.
So in all of this, what have you learned about male sexuality?
I've learned that male sexuality needs to get a damn sight more attentive to female sexuality. And that sexual egos are very fragile. People are bizarrely afraid to talk about sex and what they want while they are actually having it. You're terrified of hurting their feelings and you want to please them. And if the only cues you've ever had are from porn, because you've never had any others, then those are the ones you take to not very good effect.
So with these young men you date—you don't have anything permanent do you?
Oh, no no. Nothing permanent. Still dating.
|Cindy's fascination with taxidermy is displayed all over her loft. Stuffed two-headed ducklings stand near an armadillo found at the Rose Bowl flea market in Pasadena, Ca.

|A view of the main living space. Cindy had the opening stanza of Rudyard Kipling's ' The Ballad of East and West' screen printed on the pink silk fabric covering the daybed.
|You're not up for permanence … but maybe continuity?
Nope, not permanence. But I'm totally up for continuity. Ironically my casual relationships last a lot longer than other people's so called committed ones.
Where does all this confidence come from to date younger men?
A lifetime. I'm 52.
When you were younger were this confidence. How were you when you were younger?
Oh, as rampantly insecure as any other twenty-something.
|A black and gold bar displays crystal glasses and silver barware.
|Ceiling lights by Tom Dixon hang above the dining table. The French style chairs are copies of the Dior chair designed by Christian Dior.
|A ceramic pistol vase displays bright flowers made out of silk.
|And what do you talk to these men about—how do you avoid being a slightly maternal advice-giver?
Oh good God, that doesn't come into at all. I actually gave a talk at TED called "The Toy Boy Manifesto: Why the older woman plus younger man is the relationship model of the future." It was jam-packed. I started out saying, "Let me get one thing out of the way right up front: Yes, the sex is fantastic. You combine somebody at his sexual peak, lots of stamina, very short recovery period with somebody at her sexual peak, lots of confidence, experience, who knows what she wants, then yes, that's a great combination."
But that's only one dimension out of a whole bunch as to why I find these relationships so rewarding. When I date younger men, I'm not in a competitive scenario. Men my own age or older can quite often have an issue with a strong, powerful woman who earns more than they do. Younger men can't be competitive [with me] because we're at different stages of life. My life experience can be very useful in talking to them about whatever they're doing. Because of what I do, I live a life that has to be at the cutting edge of popular culture in a sense of knowing trends, up to the minute on music, fashion, film, the Internet etc. Lifestyle wise … I'm more attuned to younger men.
|Looking across the main seating area of the loft. A pair of sofas is covered in a fake chinchilla fabric.
|Books are stacked atop Cindy's coffee table.

|A stuffed mongoose being strangled by a cobra was purchased at a Penang street market for twenty dollars. Nearby a stone dildo was found at a Shanghai antiques market.
|A daybed is covered in faux leopard.
|If I was a younger man talking to you, I would find the perfect paragraphs in which you speak, completely bewildering … I have a 22-old son—he would be befuddled by you.
That's fine. I'm extremely selective about whom I date. I meet them on cougar dating sites. I'm a huge ambassador for online dating and I believe everyone should do it. It enables you to meet somebody who wants the same thing you do …
You're so efficient about it!
But it is efficient. The great thing about online is that it is absolutely efficient about enabling you to do things in the real world that are the things you really want to do. And by the way, even I, who champions this relationship model, am gobsmacked by the number of younger men out there who want to meet older women.
In our society, older man-younger woman, no one bats an eyelid but older woman-younger man is socially unacceptable. And even the term "cougar" implies that that model only works one way: it's predatory, desperate, hungry women going after innocent younger men. [It's] completely the opposite. I respond to maybe one percent of all the responses I get. I've never hit on a younger man. I don't have to.
|A coffee table covered in cowhide throw is Cindy's homage to designer Tom Ford. It includes a signed photo of Cindy with Tom Ford and another photo of Cindy in hamster fur pants designed by Tom Ford. The photo was inspired by a concept suggested by Richard Avedon when he heard about Cindy's hamster fur pants, 'She should be photographed in them walking with a herd of hamsters on leashes down the street.'
|A flat screen TV and a wall filled with books fills the library area of the loft. The bearskin is from a Minneapolis antique store.
|More art and objects are scattered among the library bookshelves.
|More bookcases are in the works. In the meantime, piles do just fine.
|What are you looking for?
I'm about to tell you, actually. I have one very fundamental criterion—they have to be a very, very nice person. I have a fantastic radar for very nice people. And as a result I only date utterly lovely younger men. One of the reasons I'm very public [about this] is that I believe that everybody should be free to design the relationship model that works for them as opposed to the very limited number society says it's okay for us to operate.
You're a modern-day Wife of Bath.
[Laughs] Someone else said that to me the other day!
Are you romantic? I read that you said that at night, you wanted your apartment to look like an old Shanghai bar, which seemed a romantic thing to say.
In the broad sense, absolutely I'm romantic, yeah. It's interesting you're asking that because all too often in life we default to stereotypes and very simplistic typologies. People jump to conclusions about me very quickly. We're frightened of women's sexuality. The best of all possible futures is one that men and women build together equally.

|If men can be invited into a woman's vision of how the world could be—how liberating for them it would be too.
I have a three-pronged approach to feminism …
That sounds a bit painful … [she doesn't laugh]
Prong Number One is: female solidarity, women helping women. As per Madeleine Albright's quote "There is a special place in hell reserved for women who don't help other women."
Prong Number Two is: we change nothing for ourselves until we get to men. Talking to ourselves is useless, we're preaching to the converted … men still run everything.
Prong Number Three is: we have to surface these issues in a way that is funny, intriguing, mysterious, witty, entertaining—anything that cannot be dismissed as "Oh! Another a bunch of feminist harridans banging on again about how unfair life is."
|A painting by David Piddock hangs above Cindy's bed, out-fitted in black Gucci sheets. Paul Richard's self-portrait, Tutu, hangs between the windows.
|An 'Iron Maiden' sculpture by a Brazilian artist hangs in Cindy's dressing area.
|A dozen silk roses are flanked by gilt fabric-covered bedroom windows.
|Do you often get likened to Samantha in Sex and The City? I don't like that character and I don't know why. She's such a caricature.
I regard it as a compliment because it's about a strong confident woman taking control of her life and her sex life.
So you only fancy younger men, is that it?
I'm very straightforward about the fact that I'm not looking for a relationship …
Why aren't you?
Let me explain, if you don't mind … I never wanted to be married and I've always known I wasn't a mother … love other people's children. And when you don't want children there is less of a mental imperative to get married or find a man. I've spent most of my life being single. And I think that is a very good thing. Every single boyfriend I had at university dumped me. Hallefuckinglujah! Okay. I was totally brought up like all women regardless of culture, believing that our entire life has to be a quest for "the one".
And so all through your teens and twenties, you're looking for "the one".

|A favorite neon and Lucite YSL sculpture by Sylvie Fleurie illuminates a corner of the master bath.
|In the rear of the master bath Cindy's Gucci bike stands in front of two YSL neon installations by Sylvie Fleurie.
|And it hasn't changed that much …
No, every social event you go to: will he be there? What that means is that you spend hours glamming yourself up, worrying about your looks. You go to that event and you compete with other women, a dynamic I deplore and he's not there … and you go … "Oh, he wasn't there again." At some point in my thirties, I went, "Screw this for a game of soldiers. I'm not looking for 'the one' anymore." Oh my God—liberation!
Do you feel under pressure to have plastic surgery or anything?
Oh God no! Absolutely not! Bloody hell no! I consider myself a proudly visible member of the most invisible segment of our society, which is older women. I would like to help redefine what older women should look like, talk like, work like, be like, dress like and fuck like.
I have a number of societal agendas with makelovenotporn.tv which will take a very long time to play out. I date quite a lot of younger men and I can have all the bulging biceps, chiseled cheekbones, six-pack abs that I want. Actually the guys that I'm particularly fond of are the ones I call "hidden gems", okay? I'll give you an example of a guy from several years ago who was an NYU law student, 27, lovely guy. You didn't realize until he took his glasses off, how good looking he was; you didn't realize until he shed the baggy flannel shirt and the baggy jeans, what a good body he had and you certainly didn't realize how well-endowed he was and you also did not know he was the oral sex genius of all time, okay? I want to showcase in real world sex to flip the social equation of what we are taught to find hot, desirable and date-able because that really hot guy or girl in the bar is often the worst in bed because they've never had to try.

|A nude by Paul Richard hangs on a wall near the library. The painting is flanked by an installation of handmade postcards crafted and sent through the post by two Danish artists.
|An English daybed that belonged to Cindy's parents stands beneath a painting by Paul Richard.
|When did you start wearing all this leather clothing you're photographed in? Where do you buy it?
Oh, a very long time ago. Back in my previous existence as a high-flying, highly-paid ad exec, as opposed to now, impoverished start-up entrepreneur, I moved here in '98 to start [the advertising agency] BBH New York, just when Tom Ford was coming into his heyday at Gucci. It was a very good thing that I left advertising just as he left Gucci—temptation removed because I couldn't afford it anymore. His clothes became my battle armor. Every time I put my Tom Ford Gucci leather biker pants, I was warrior woman. Also it was brand differentiation.
What do you do when you're not working?
When you're an entrepreneur, you're working all the time.
But you're meeting all these young men and having all this sex, aren't you?
Er … I'm not all the time, no, no! I'm traveling a huge amount and doing a lot of public speaking, which is partly a revenue stream for me.
|Leopard skins cover a pair of Malaysian planters chairs. The leopard skins were purchased at an auction in the UK and were a gift from Cindy's parents.
|So you're more interested in business than sex …
Oh … er … I'm an entrepreneur working to make my business successful. If I don't make the business successful, I don't get to pay the mortgage. I'm putting that ahead of sex, too bloody right … fortunately one of the businesses happens to be about sex.
Sooo … Fifty Shades of Grey … off you go, Cindy!
There are three reasons why I hate it:
Number One: it's appallingly badly written. I had to force myself through it for research purposes.
Number Two: it is the classic Mills & Boon Cinderella story wrapped up in new trappings.
Number Three: it is all about all the components of, and endorsing, a thoroughly abusive relationship.
The reasons I love it are:
Number One: it's done what I'm trying to do—it's socialized sex, to make it socially acceptable to admit that we all like reading erotica and sexy writing.
Number Two: It "de-taintifies" sex that a lot of people really enjoy having if society hadn't taught them to go "Oh my God that's kink."
And Number Three: it's obviously rejuvenated a tremendous number of marriages and relationships.
Do you always talk in bullet points?

CISCRP survey finds improved perceptions of clinical trials
Pharma Times: JUNE 20, 2013
There have been significant improvements over the last eight years in public perceptions of clinical-trial safety as well as trust in the motives of clinical research professionals, a new international study has found.
In the online survey conducted between January and March 2013 by US-based non-profit the Center for Information & Study on Clinical Research Participation (CISCRP) among a global community of health-information seekers and research participants, only 28% of respondents said they did not trust research sponsors to inform the public quickly about safety concerns in clinical trials.
This figure compared with 45% of respondents in a Harris Interactive poll run in 2005. In that survey, moreover, 46% of respondents believed volunteers were gambling with their health by taking part in a clinical trial. In the latest CISCRP survey, only 23% of current respondents agreed with this statement. Read more

Beyoncé is turning heads again. First, Queen Bey wowed at Super Bowl 50, from her sleek bodysuit to her phenomenal "Formation." And now, Beyoncé is earning awe again by looking fabulous during her recent appearance with Jay Z, reported ET.
Seated courtside near Kendrick Lamar at the Staples Center, Jay Z and Beyoncé cheered as the Los Angeles Clippers challenged the Golden State Warriors. And while the score at the end of the game matters, Queen Bey instantly scored with her fabulous appearance.
Beyoncé and Jay Z also were spotted with Kelly Rowland at The Troubadour in West Hollywood. An attempt at sporting hats to stay under the radar didn't work.
In addition, a source told People that it's clear Beyoncé and Jay Z really cherish their date nights.
"[They] were having a great time and looked really happy to be on a date night together. They had their arms around each other, held hands and were really cute together," said the insider.
The two also share something else in common. Beyoncé and Jay Z are passionate about their plant-based vegan diets, reported E News.
But she prefers to use the phrase plant-based diet rather than vegan.
"The benefits of a plant-based diet need to be known," Beyoncé declared. "We should spend more time loving ourselves, which means taking better care of ourselves with good nutrition and making healthier food choices."
"You picture someone who lives in Colorado that doesn't wear deodorant. There's a negative stereotype," said Borges.
Marco credits his plant-based food plan for Beyoncé's revolutionary body.
"With most diets you see weight loss and then as soon as the program ends the weight slowly starts to add back up again," he said, noting that his plan keeps off the weight.
Beyoncé had another opportunity to flaunt her fabled physique when Kelly Rowland had a birthday party that turned into a reunion for her, Beyoncé, and Michelle Williams. The former Destiny's Child band mates shared their delight in each other in a photo, reported Hollywood Life.
But it's not all positive news for Beyoncé right now, and there's a backlash from her Super Bowl performance in terms of some police unions urging officers to boycott her concerts, reported CBS News.
These law enforcement officials contend that when Beyoncé and her troupe sported outfits that paid tribute to the Black Panther Party, which is famed for confronting the police, the message was dangerous enough to warrant boycotting.
Amid the examples cited by some of these officials, Beyoncé's new music video has the words "stop shooting us" with an image of a young black boy raising his hands before police.
However, not all police unions and law enforcement officials agree with the call to boycott.
Beyoncé has a world tour coming up, which is already sold out in 16 cities. But some heads of police unions are urging officers to say no to working those concerts.
"We ask officers to refuse to support the efforts of artists who promote a false narrative of law enforcement attacks on black citizens," said the president of Nashville's Fraternal Order of Police.
Some pointed to the celebrity status and influence of Beyoncé, contending that because of her fame, she should take more responsibility.
"As a celebrity figure Beyonce should take greater responsibility in her divisive actions that further complicate relationships between communities of color and the members of law enforcement," said New York's Sergeants Benevolent Association, which did not urge a boycott.
But taking a different approach to the situation was Tampa's Police Department, which tweeted both a correction and a humorous slant.
"This is factually incorrect. We do have ofc signed up to work the Beyonce concert & the event will be fully staffed," tweeted the Tampa PD in response to a claim that Florida officers had declined to provide security at an upcoming Beyoncé concert.
And the department also showed a sense of humor.

Letter in The Northern Echo today by Pete Molloy:
LIKE the vast majority of disgusted English people, we in the British National Party were also disgusted with everyone that took part in the criminal riots.
The people to commend for bringing the riots to an end are not the Government nor the police, but the general public who came out to clear up and protect their communities.
There was a difference in attitude from the press and the police when dealing with the community protectors.
The Turks, Muslims and Sikhs were all treated as heroes even though some of the latter carried swords.
Compare that to the English who were treated as criminals by the police and called "racist vigilantes" by the press for protecting their community.
Is it any wonder British people want out of Britain and are moving to pastures new?
Pete Molloy, British National Party.

Breast Implants and CancerSubmitted by Professor Ben-Joseph on Thu, 2017-11-09 11:16
We live in a very appearance-conscious world, and anything you don't like about your body or think of as an imperfection can eat away at your self-confidence. Hence, the vast popularity of so many forms of plastic surgery. Of course, with these procedures come multiple risks including anesthesia complications, scarring, and blood clots. Yet hundreds of thousands of people sign on for them every year anyway. And now there is new evidence that for one type of cosmetic surgery, you may be putting yourself in danger of a cancer diagnosis as well.

Oban Community Fire Station will host it's first-ever Biker Down courses on August 14 and August 28.
If you were the first on the scene of an accident involving a biker, would you know what to do? Would you know who is most at risk, how to protect the area or whether you should remove the helmet of a downed rider?
Actions taken in the first few moments after an accident can be crucial in minimising injuries and can make a real difference to the lives of those involved. But there can be some uncertainty about what to do in these situations.

Coffee sits for a few days and is delicious. Smooth, slightly nutty, and clean finish. Perfect coffee for every day.
This is inspiration for adding automated roasting to ELF. First I must finish the following features I'm currently working on:
1. Fixed axis charts so roasts can be compared to one another.
2. Ability to export the chart along with the notes as an image.
3. Add marking capability to the chart.
I've finished the first two (2) items and only have number 3 remaining. When I started working on number three (3) I began reworking the design of some of the software. As always in software development, what once seemed like decent software now seems clumsy after revisiting months later.

Oh. My. Goodness. It is scorching hot outside.
I went to Michael's earlier, and bought some new paints and pots to decorate my room with. I was outside for about two hours, and I had to come in. I will share pictures of the pots when I'm done! They are looking pretty neat so far.
For anyone who is outside where it's hot today, make sure to wear a high spf sunscreen and stay hydrated my friends!


text: During our trip back to manila, I found this cool milk chocolate spoons at the duty free shop at the low cost carrier terminal in Kuala Lumpur. It's a local product of Malaysia. Aside from the cool shape of these chocolates, I was so curious about it taste. But unfortunately, I wasn't able to taste them. I left it on the fridge until our last day in manila and eventually forget that I actually have them in the fridge. Anyways atleast I took a snap of it.

I grew up in lands where hurricanes are commonplace: first on the island of Okinawa, a gob of coral that's so tiny it's just a blip on most maps and could be seriously blasted by any size typhoon; and in Florida, a peninsula that puts millions of people out into the path of tropical storms every year. And, I've worked in hurricane recovery efforts. So, I naturally think about prepping for hurricane season around this time of the year.
But, how many of people do? Do you? I'll bet a bunch of people in New Jersey now think about it, when they never had to before. But really, anyone living along a coastline can be affected and needs to make plans to ensure not only their comfort, but their very survivability as well.
One of the most important things to look at is WATER.
You can go for quite a few days – even weeks – without food. You can too without electricity and the ultimate gift of electricity, which in Florida, is AIR CONDITIONING. But you cannot go without water. Water is essential.
In the July issue of Water Technology Magazine, Assistant Editor Jake Mastroianni provides an excellent article on the water element of "Preparing for an emergency." I recommend reading the entire article, which isn't long and includes tidbits like a reminder that the folks who went through Hurricane Andrew went without a safe water supply for over a month! But, if you don't have time to click over to the entire article, here's a lowdown on the list of the 7 tips that Mastroianni offers from the book "WaterPrepper" by Glenn Meder.
1. Know what to do. Looooong BEFORE the power is knocked out, print a copy of the FEMA/Red Cross Booklet on treating water in an emergency situation. The FEMA/RED CROSS Booklet can be found at http://www.fema.gov/pdf/library/f&web.pdf.
2. Keep a minimum of two-week's worth of bottled water. You should have at least two quarts (half gallon) per person per day. This should be commercially produced bottled water, preferably a well-known brand name. Keep the bottles sealed and stored in a dark, cool area. Rotate the bottles out at least every six months.
3. Also keep a bottle of basic bleach — unopened and non-scented. Do not use scented bleaches, colorsafe bleaches or bleaches with added cleaners, which can be used to disinfect water.
4. Get a stove and fuel for boiling and/or distilling water during an emergency. You should have a stove that can use different types of fuel, and that will allow you to make a basic wood fire.
5. And/or get a water purifier, ideally a non-electric water distiller, which is the best way to purify water during an emergency.
6. You could incorporate an emergency filter into your kit, which could be effective at filtering some contaminants out of the water, as long as you remember to additionally treat the filtered water with one of the FEMA/Red Cross recommended methods.
7. Educate your family and friends about being prepared. If they aren't, they will probably become a burden on YOU and your resources. Send each of them a copy of the FEMA/Red Cross Document that's at http://www.fema.gov/pdf/library/f&web.pdf.
And, number 8 is my own tip. Don't wait. By the time weather forecasters say a storm is headed your way, you will have to contend with the mass hysteria and resulting empty shelves at your local grocery store.
Again, don't wait. Think about, and do something about, your disaster plan for water soon.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—New Jersey lawmakers announced that three organizations that serve victims of domestic violence, including two based in New Brunswick, would share $1.1 million in federal funding. The money, authorized by the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), supports programs that provide housing to victims of abuse and programs that address domestic violence and sexual assault in ways that respect and affirm the victim's culture.
"This federal funding will help New Jersey organizations provide critical assistance and housing for New Jersey domestic violence and sexual abuse victims," said U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ).
"These grants made possible by the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) enable community organizations, including two in my district in New Brunswick, to continue to provide life-saving support to victims of domestic violence," said U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ-6).
The following New Jersey organizations received federal funding:
- Manavia, Inc. in New Brunswick – $535,115 for culturally and linguistically specific services and transitional housing for victims of abuse;
- Jewish Family Service & Children's Center in Clifton – $297,000 for culturally and linguistically specific services; and
- Women Aware, Inc. in New Brunswick – $299,678 for transitional housing for victims of abuse.
In New Jersey, more than 74,000 domestic violence offenses were reported by the police in 2010, and since 2006, nearly $30 million in federal funding has been provided to more than 40 domestic violence programs in New Jersey through the Violence Against Women Act.
The Violence Against Women Act was originally enacted in 1994 and has been reauthorized twice—in 2000 and 2005—with unanimous Senate approval. After the most recent extension expired in 2011, the Senate passed a reauthorization bill in April 2012, but the House has refused to consider the bipartisan Senate bill. The law provides federal funding for programs and initiatives designed to help victims, and reauthorization is necessary to ensure that local communities and law enforcement agencies get the full resources they need to fight domestic violence.
"This funding underscores why we need House Republicans to put politics aside and work with us to renew and strengthen the Violence Against Women Act," said U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ), who successfully fought for bipartisan passage in the Senate of its reauthorization earlier this year. "We must do everything we can to protect victims of domestic violence and their children and that means fighting to fund these critical services and programs."

|Selzentry side effects
Dec 16, 2011
I currently take 600mg Selzentry twice a day along with Sustiva and Epzicom. I have had 3 years of headache and think it might be from Selzentry. But my question is this: I had disseminated histoplasmosis in 2002, and by taking Selzentry and knowing the way the CCR5 works making me more prone to infections, does this make me a more of a risk of re-occurence of histoplasmosis and should I be taking Selzentry? Thanks for all the wonderful work you do! :)
Response from Dr. Henry
I am not aware of any signal for a concern about maraviroc and increased risk for histoplasmosis. If any reader knows of a reference or has a personal view on the matter please post. KH
Persistent rash, possibly from HIV meds

Financing: $135,000.00 Down and Finance balance of $54,000
Reason for Selling:Selling due to personal matters.
RETAIL/WHOLESALE PAINT STORE AND MORE: OWNER RETIRING. GROWTH WAITING. Neighborhood fixture, 87-year-old Bronx paint and hardware store near the Westchester border, with both a retail and wholesale following. Store does an even mix of walk-in and email sales, from individual customers to corporate, institutional and government clients, on paints and coatings, window treatments (a highly popular offering with particularly large margins), radiator covers, and much more. Although highly-successful throughout its history, the store has not been aggressively marketed in recent years. Enormous opportunities for future growth exist with the addition of an outside sales force to pursue the considerable potential for wholesale business in the Westchester area, plus many more counties, and ongoing telemarketing effort, direct mail advertising, a detailed catalog, an updated website, Sunday hours, etc. Another area for growth exists in sales across multiple categories. As an example, a paint purchaser in the midst of redecorating is often a prospect for window treatments and many other related products. Current owner plans to retire, but can stay on to train a new owner in all aspects of the business. An experienced, loyal staff of two-to-five, an inventory that averages about $100,000 and products that never go out of style increase the appeal of this unique opportunity. Total price is $189,000, with $135,000 down. Please contact the broker at 1-877-735-5224 for further information.

Reading Book of Blockade -- Film Review
VENICE, Italy -- Russian director Aleksandr Sokurov has made brilliant experimental cinema, including the excitingly novel single-take "Russian Ark," but "Reading Book of Blockade" is not one among his greats.
In this quasi-documentary, amateur actors and others read out some of the chapters from "Book of Blockade" written by Daniil Granin and Ales Adamovich. The book narrates the 872-day siege of Leningrad by Hitler's armies that caused unimaginable famine and human suffering.
With the military blockade lasting through two full winters 1.5 million soldiers and civilians died of starvation and cold. The siege is listed as one of the deadliest in history with the casualties exceeding those of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The readers from several walks of life – teachers, soldiers, students and so on – try 1to inject into their readings the horror that included cannibalism by the tortured citizens. Some weep as they read. However readers remain readers. None lived through the blockade. So, their involvement in the film has, at times, an air of superficiality. The film really cannot hold attention for long, as the monotony of the reading is just a little too much.
Venue: Venice Film Festival -- Orizzonti
Production: TV Kupol
Cast: Maia Kilmenko, Ivan Krasko, Oleg Basilashvili, Boris Averin, Elena Shtopfen, Lev Neimishev, Marina Moshkova and Vladimir Kudrin
Director: Aleksandr Sokurov
Screenwriter: Nadejda Gusarova
Based on "Book of Blockade" by Daniil Granin and Ales Adamovich

Accepting responsibilities might place ourselves under the spotlight. It might make us feel uncomfortable. However, avoiding the spotlight while we have what it takes might mean running away from who we are.
I guess, we will be ready when we are ready - to be responsible and true to ourselves.

Hyperwage Theory
Part 25
Chapter 25: The Reality of the Keynesian Multiplier
The beauty of Hyperwage Theory is that it builds on both Classical and Keynesian economics. From another perspective, it also builds on micro and macroeconomics. Paradoxically, these theories appear contrapuntal to Hyperwage at first glance but once we actually delve deeper into economic and non-economic analysis we realize that the collision of ideas are merely a mirage collage.
Keynesians vs. monetarists
At this stage, we are focusing on the Keynesian multiplier in particular and Keynesian economics in general. Let me warn you that when I was younger, I was more familiar with Milton Friedman and his monetary theory, and I heard of Keynes only as name but never had any inkling as to what is Keynesian economics.
In the aftermath of the 1997 Asian financial crisis, in "A Debate in Hong Kong" I wrote about directing a question at two famous economists whether Keynesian or monetarism is the solution to the crisis. One was Allan Meltzer of Carnegie-Mellon University and author of books on monetarism and a critic of the IMF and World Bank, and the other was Lawrence Summers former US Secretary of Treasury and now president of Harvard University and nephew of Nobel Laureates Paul Samuelson and Kenneth Arrow.
Their opposing answers to my question, which included personal snipes at each other, were quoted in the South China Morning Post the next day and was aired on TV and carried by Bloomberg.
Monetarism and Keynesian economics need not be exclusive of each other. In fact, Keynes achieved an extraordinary feat of including a monetary theory in his revolutionary book The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, a feat no other economist has done before.
However, before we forget, these theories do not profess solve poverty. And that is why I find these theories very limiting.
In fact, books on economics are about the wealth of nations and individuals. The World Bank and the Asian Development Bank although tasked with eliminating poverty appears to me as being sidetracked by too much focus on microlending, microhousing, microenterprise which to me are lolippop solutions because they affect only a micro number of people.
In contrast, Hyperwage Theory is comprehensive and single-stroke: Give labor its true cost and value. Is this an extraordinary theory? I don't think so.
Anyway, let's proceed. I would like to share with you my insights into Keynesian economics which like many other economic theories I have discussed earlier has become a nesting place for Hyperwage. Who would have thought that the obscure theory of labor monopsony, the controversial study of Card and Kruger, the unknown features of asymptotic hyperinflation, and revolutionary thought of Keynesian economics are actually friendly theories and intellectual allies of the Hyperwage Theory? Not to mention the 6-year old Gauss.
Keynesian myth?
If you research about Keynesian economics you will come across economists who are anti-Keynesian. In fact, one respected journal published a paper on the mythology of the Keynesian multiplier.
Now, guys, listen very carefully because what I'm going to say is not found in textbooks but my own insight into this Keynesian multiplier debate.
Some people think the Keynesian multiplier is a myth, an error in concept. Now the Keynesians who used deficit spending to save their economies defend the value of Keynesian economics and impliedly the Keynesian multiplier.
Is the Keynesian multiplier a myth? I daresay no. And I further say that the PhDs who believe it is a myth do not really understand the underlying principle behind the multiplier. And again this reflects their shallow understanding on basic economic concepts such as the Keynesian multiplier.
Let me explain in a roundabout manner because I explain things best this way.
My former accounting teacher found me obstinate when I pressed for an explanation as to why assets = liabilities + capital. I recounted this incident in "The Accounting Wizard" and "Inventing the Street Strategist's Accounting Codes."
Many accounting professors simply state that A = L + C without deriving it or without any intuitive insight into it. It was only many years later that I found a better way to derive the accounting equation and now, I think it is the best way to explain it.
Why did I ask how A = L + C was derived? Because I was brainwashed into thinking that all formulas are either postulates which we have to accept; or theorems which we have to derive from postulates or from the laws of nature.
For example, Force = mass x acceleration, Newton's second law of motion, is based on the laws of nature.
Another example Voltage = Current x Resistance, which is Ohm's Law (E=IR), is based on the law of nature. Einstein's E=mc2 is a law of nature.
Thus, if a formula or equation is based on a law of nature it cannot be a myth.
Physical reality
We go back to the question: Is the Keynesian multiplier a myth? In effect, the underlying question is: Is the Keynesian multiplier based on a physical law of nature?
This is probably the first time you've heard of this question: Is the Keynesian multiplier based on a law of nature thereby making it a real physical process?
If the answer is yes, it is based on a physical process, then the conclusion is that, no, it is not a myth.
Now that we know what question to ask, how do we answer that question?
Listen very carefully because even the Keynesians themselves are not used to this line of thinking.
Ara earns $100. Her marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 80%. Thus, Ara spends 80% of $100 on a product sold by Bobby. Ara's expense is Bobby's income which is $80. Assuming a constant MPC of 80%, Bobby buys the product of Charlie at 80% of $80. Charlies' income therefore is 80% of $80 which is $64. Charlie spends 80% to buy the product of Dylan. Dylan's income therefore is 80% of $64 which is $51.2, and so on and so forth until infinity.
Thus, the total income for the community is Ara + Bobby + Charlie + Dylan + … + until infinity. In amounts, this is: 100 + 80 + 64 + 51.2 + …
Total income
Let's pause. One man's expense is another man's income is another man's expense is another man's income and so on and so forth. Is this spending and earning a real physical process? Yes. Is this a myth? No?
Therefore, if we can obtain a formula out this physical process, then the formula is not a myth but a physical reality.
Now, if you have noticed, the sum above is actually a geometric progression with common ratio r = 0.80.
Thus, we have seen right before our very eyes that the spending and earning process follows a geometric progression. And what did we say about a geometric progression with r less than 1? That progression can be simplified as the formula we discussed in the previous chapter.
The sum is S = a (1/1-r). In the above example, a=100, r=0.8, therefore S = 100 x 5 or $500. The multiplier is 5.
What has happened? Think of the economy as a Keynesian magic box. You give $100 to a single solitary person, and out comes $500 for the entire economy. Expense becomes income and individual corresponds to the entire economy.
In fact, it doesn't have to be called Keynesian, or Kahnian because the process is actually a physical buying and selling process.
Multiplier vs. gravity
What does this mean? The Keynesian multiplier is as physical as gravity; if we refuse to recognize the reality of the multiplier it is just the same as refusing the reality of gravity.
In other words, the discovery of the multiplier by Kahn and Keynes is equivalent to the discovery of gravitation by Newton. Gravity and the multiplier were there physically but only these discoverers formulated the equation for it.
PhDs vs man in the street
Let's pause for moment. We have PhDs claiming the Keynesian multiplier is a myth and that it is getting something out of nothing. After the explanation above by the Street Strategist, do you think it is a myth?
Well, I don't think so. In fact, if you call it a myth, for me, it means that you have a shallow understanding of the physical process behind the multiplier concept.
As I have mentioned before, I confess that I didn't know whether the multiplier is a myth or not. I did not have enough education to decide for myself so I believed the experts, the PhDs.
But when I integrated the concept of Gauss into the imbroglio, I had an epiphany. Eureka! I found it!
Remember I told you that the best way to teach the multiplier is via the geometric progression? Having heard of my explanation, would you explain it another way? That is my challenge to the teachers of economics.
Paradigm shift
If we learn of the multiplier via the physical process of buying and selling and formalized it as a geometric progression then we are assured of certain benefits.
1. We will never question the reality of the multiplier, and we will be amused at PhDs who think so.
2. We see the importance of buying and selling or the process of consumption. Even Keynes considers consumption as the most important factor in the economy. He devoted Chapter 10 of his book to this.
3. We see the paradox of thrift, that the more we spend, the better for the entire economy; and that excessive savings is bad for the economy.
4. We see the benefit of transferring wealth from the rich who simply hide them to the poor who will spend all of them.
5. We see that increasing wages by transferring from the rich to the poor is actually good for the economy as a whole.
6. We see that government can afford to pay hyperwage because the GNI or GNP is bound to increase to an amount determined by the Keynesian multiplier. Which government does not benefit from a greater GNI? And will all the precipitating taxable transactions which government does not earn more?
7. We see that taxation discourages spending therefore it dampens the effect of the multiplier.
8. We see that purchasing power does not operate on a "conservation of money" principle but on a multiplier.
9. We see the Keynesian magic box that transforms $100 of expense into $500 of income and yet, this is not magic but a mathematical and physical process.
10. Hyperwage will exploit the Keynesian magic box. This is a win-win for capital labor and government. Can you offer a more suitable alternative?
I would like to remind you that I have not yet touched on the macroeconomic equation itself under the Keynesian theory. I have only touched on the Keynesian multiplier. I deliberately focused on the geometric process of the multiplier because I realized that even PhDs do not understand the multiplier.
Is the buying and selling a perfect geometric process? No, but such imperfection does not eliminate the geometric nature of the process.
I hope I have justified my circuitous way of explaining a simple concept as the multiplier. Even Keynes in his book did not use the geometric process, which I think was a poor choice of weapons because his own method of explaining allowed his detractors to consider it a myth.
Brown, Wiener, etc
But had he gone by the geometric physical process, who can argue against a process as real as gravity?
In finance, there are many instances where a physical process or a process of nature (natural process) is the basis of an economic or financial formula. Option theory uses the geometric Brownian process. Remember Robert Brown in 1827 and his discovery of particles in motion?
Then there is the stochastic Wiener process in finance theory. There's the Poisson process and the Bessel process.
At any rate, what I'm saying is that the mind process of the 6-year old Gauss gave me an insight into the Keynesian multiplier which I have never seen before. As such my appreciation of the Keynesian economics has been deeply enhanced.
Insights of a child
But if you didn't know the link between Gauss and Keynes, don't worry. I only learned of the linkage last year, although for several years I had this hunch that the multiplier would support rather destroy Hyperwage Theory.
Where do we go from here? Hyperwage will use the Keynesian multiplier as a lever. And since we have already proved it is not a myth, we can proceed to an overview of Keynesian economics. Now, I must warn you that Keynesian economics is not necessary to understand Hyperwage but since most of us do not know classical from Keynesian, I will give an overview of the theory for the same of completeness of our presentation.
I will discuss the minor concept called accelerator effect, the investment multiplier , and the employment multiplier.
That should seal the macroeconomic aspect of Hyperwage. We have already tackled the microeconomics before.
After that, I will summarize the non-economic benefits of Hyperwage, then after than I will provide a Q&A.
Isn't it great that we are now seeing the end of this series?

Video: Moses Malone Talks About His NBA Past, 76ers
Moses Malone is a Hall of Famer who played for nine different teams during his 21-year career in the ABA and NBA. He played with and against many of the greatest players of all time, and was one himself, having won three MVP awards as well as being named one of the 50 greatest players in NBA History.
"21 years in the NBA were great for me. The opportunity to play against a lot of the great ballplayers. We won a championship back there in 1983. Went there in 1981 with the Houston Rockets, but the 76ers were my best team. I loved playing with that team," he told Jared Ginsberg of Class Act Sports.
Malone, who won his only NBA title with the 76ers in 1983, ranks in the top ten in many offensive categories, but was never a fan of individual accolades.
"The main thing is just winning. My goal is to win, not about the individual stuff. Playing with a team like the 76ers, was a big thing for me," he said.
Malone was on hand at Nat Moore's Gold Outing in Florida in March, which is where Jared Ginsberg of Class Act Sports caught up with the legend.
"It's a great opportunity to be here. Nat Moore he's done great things. It is a great cause. I am happy to be here, and I am enjoying myself. I do a lot of these. Nat Moore is one I do every year. I'm happy to come here. I'll be back next year. I just look forward to being back every year," Malone said.

A series of posters featuring models in bikinis have been defaced or torn down in east London in what appears to be a targeted campaign.
Police have not yet linked it to any religious group, but the use of black paint is reminiscent of attacks on billboards in Peshawar, Pakistan, reported by The First Post.
The east London targets include street-level bikini ads for the popular chain store H&M and the Australian swimwear brand Sea Folly, as well cinema posters for the recently released Bollywood film Kites .
The H&M bus shelter ads are behind perspex cases, which have been daubed with black paint, covering the models' faces and bodies. At street level, they present an easy target compared to the huge billboards defaced in Pakistan, where women's faces have been carefully painted out by campaigners who believe the depiction of uncovered women is un-Islamic.
The Sea Folly ads were simply pasted up, and many have been torn down, leaving shreds of paper hanging where once the famously gap-toothed Australian model Jessica Hart stared out at passers-by in all her bronzed glory.
The Kites ads show the stars of the film, Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori, in a clinch. Set in Las Vegas and starring a multinational cast, Kites is Bollywood's latest attempt to make a film designed to appeal to Eastern and Western audiences alike.
Avedon Carol, of Feminists Against Censorship, told the London Evening Standard: "The idea that somehow the image of women being sexy spreads all sorts of horribleness is reactionary and anti-women."

Following in the Footsteps of a Celebrity
Latest Casino News TopCasinoGames.eu 28 Oct , 2017 0
Life nowdays takes place behind a curtain of trivial entertainment. Leaving cause aside, our voracious appetite for celebrity tidbits is fed by mammoth media networks, the process spewing forth an endless stream of personalities splattered by a talented of talented entertainers. Celebrity status then falls well within the grasp of the outrageous or those hungry for attention that satisfying our thirst for all things celeb.
Our desire to be associated with those in the limelight is so great that there are not nearly enough big stars to go round. Celebrities are in such demand that anyone lucky enough to visually resemble a TV actor, member of the monarchy or even better, a megastar is able to make a basic living from the spin off of their success. Usually booked by businesses to attend media events, 'faux stars' such as those from Top Lookalikes can also be rented out for private parties to really impress your friends and neighbors.
Even the BBC are joining in the celeb game with their tongue-in-cheek stock market trading game. Join in this bit of lighthearted fun as you estimate the 'tradeability' value of celebs in the news while you build your own personality portfolio and watch your shares soar or plummet.
Whilst we all know that Americans are obsessed with fame and fortune, there's a little part in us all that follows what the big Hollywood stars are up to. In tinseltown LA the big stars' every move is fully documented, their home addresses readily available and their residential streets and favorite dining haunts fair game for the stargazing hordes.
But many of us are now seriously striking out in a bid for our own celebrity lifestyle according to the Office for National Statistics. According to their 2006 Social Trends Report over a million of us own a second home, a quarter of these abroad. To check out how big a slice of the sun you can afford, try a visit to one of the many overseas property exhibitions taking place around the country.
