Another goody about Social Security.  http://www.aarp.org/work/social-security/info-10-2012/can-i-get-social-security-and-unemployment-benefits-at-the-same-time.html?intcmp=Outbrain&obref=obnetwork


•Any benefits you get from unemployment insurance will not reduce your Social Security payments. That's because Social Security does not count unemployment benefits as earnings. So the benefits will not push you closer to earnings ceilings that trigger cuts in Social Security benefits for people ages 62 to 66.

Another moneysaving idea. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/this-could-be-big-abc-news/super-cheap-paper-microscope-could-save-millions-lives-133616732.html?vp=1 Cost 50 cents to a dollar to make and enlarge up to 2000 times.


Imagine if clinics in developing countries were equipped with an inexpensive yet durable tool that could help medical personnel identify and diagnose a variety of deadly diseases like Malaria, Chagas disease, or Leishmaniosis? For millions of people around the world waiting to be diagnosed and treated, such a tool could be a life-saver.

Manu Prakash, a professor at Stanford University and his students have developed a microscope out of a flat sheet of paper, a watch battery, LED, and optical units that when folded together, much like origami, creates a functional instrument with the resolution of 800 nanometers – basically magnifying an object up to 2,000 times.

Called Foldscope, the microscope is extremely inexpensive to manufacture, costing between fifty-cents and a dollar per instrument. And because the microscope is assembled primarily from paper and optical components the size of a grain of sand, it is virtually indestructible.

Servers ok today it seems.It seems that hunger is growing in the USA.I watched a show on public tv about Raisin City ,Calif.The firuit and vetgetable  pickers there make so little money that a quarter of the population are fed by foodbanks.And fully 23 % of all schoolkids in the USA are hungry.If kids don't eat they are sluggist,distracted and don't learn well.Some kids eat at school on friday and eat nothing over the weekend they said.

http://www.buzzle.com/articles/extinct-animals-in-the-last-100-years.html  It seems that these extinctions caused by humans and human activities would have a bearing on economics in the world at least.


i grew up knowing frogs but according to this article:
Scientific estimates suggest that around 70 species of frogs have been wiped off the planet as a result of climate change. And this is just the tip of the iceberg considering that several species of animals, including the penguins and polar bears, have become vulnerable to extinction as a result of this increase in global temperature. Extinction of animals due to global warming is a serious issue, which will just get severe with time and several species will bear the brunt of this unless we take the necessary precautions to save them.Read more at Buzzle: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/extinct-animals-in-the-last-100-years.html

Hear, hear.
@All Trolls that are getting paid for derailing the quest for planet friendly energy alternatives, you have blood on your hands!
You are killing the planet which we borrowed from our children.
You are killing a lot of people/children because they cannot prepare for when disaster strikes.


Stop trolling and let people evolve to better beings!

http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2013/04/water-worlds-surface/  here are new worlds to explore and someday take mastery over?Hopefully we will be better humans by the time we reach them.

Astronomers have found such a planetary system orbiting the star Kepler-62. This five-planet system has two worlds in the habitable zone — the distance from their star at which they receive enough light and warmth that liquid water could theoretically exist on their surfaces. Modeling by researchers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) suggests that both planets are water worlds, their surfaces completely covered by a global ocean with no land in sight.

“These planets are unlike anything in our solar system. They have endless oceans,” said lead author Lisa Kaltenegger of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy and the CfA. “There may be life there, but could it be technology-based like ours? Life on these worlds would be under water with no easy access to metals, to electricity, or fire for metallurgy.

The discovery raises the intriguing possibility that some star in our galaxy might be circled by two Earth-like worlds — planets with oceans and continents, where technologically advanced life could develop.

“Imagine looking through a telescope to see another world with life just a few million miles from your own. Or, having the capability to travel between them on a regular basis. I can’t think of a more powerful motivation to become a space-faring society,” said Sasselov.

So the human race may have countless worlds to reach out to.To travel to.To develop. I get excited thinking about all the lifeforms that may be there.triffid


As long as im not at the bottom of the food chain I might be willing to travel there.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-04-13/world-leading-25-hourly-wage-floor-roils-swiss-businesses-jobs.html.
25 dollars an hour for minimum wage would be the worlds highest min wage if passed.

The Swiss will vote in a national referendum May 18 on whether to create a minimum wage of 22 francs ($25) per hour, or 4,000 francs a month. While about 90 percent of workers in Switzerland already earn more than that, employers say setting Switzerland’s first national wage floor would push up salaries throughout the economy. When adjusted for currency and purchasing power, it would be the highest minimum in the world.

Quote from: triffid
25 dollars an hour for minimum wage would be the worlds highest min wage if passed.

$25.00 per hour in today's currency may seem like
a pile of "money."  When adjusted for inflation it
is equivalent to $2.50 in 1960 dollars but the
buying power of $25.00 today for foodstuffs is
more like $1.50 in 1960 dollars.

We're losing ground.

I saw on tv today that a large percentage of recent college graduates make minimun
wage or less.I also saw  that about 125 colleges or universities across the nation has started food banks for their students.The one I saw was in long island.
