Mandelbrot Beats Economics in Fathoming Markets
2012-01-04 19:38:00 The possible collapse of the European monetary union, at least in its current form, brings home the truth that there’s little in economics that is certain. We’re again “thinking the unthinkable,” as we were a few years ago when we suddenly realized that financial engineering hadn’t banished financial crises, and that 70 years of relative ...

Haleigh Cummings ? The Law Of Unintended Consequences

Good Intentions, Bad Tax Consequences
2009-03-31 23:32:00 As we step in to take care of aging friends, parents and grandparents, we can make choices which seem like a good idea at the time, but turn out to be not so desirable when it comes time to sell.I?ve gotten several questions lately about the tax consequences after selling a home that was either gifted or sold for a very low price prior to death, typically to a child of a sick or ailing relative.The idea was that the owner was either too sick or unable to take care of their residence and a child stepped into getting control of the assets so they could make the financial decisions to care for the seller.Since they didn?t want to pay the seller out of pocket, the property was gifted with a quit claim or grant deed or sold on paper for $1. or other low amount. No taxes were due, and now the responsible party was in control. Note: this doesn?t work for planning for state or federal aid unless done at least 5 years prior to need or request.Then, once the parent or seller is taken care of ...
The Consequences of Time
2009-01-24 19:50:00 dal comunicato:"Sabato 13 dicembre alle ore 18.30 la Galleria Michela Rizzo inaugura la mostra personale di Cristina Treppo ?The consequences of time? a cura di Martina Cavallarin, presso la sede di Palazzo palumbo Fossati a Venezia.Quella di Cristina Treppo č una pratica contemporanea che viene da lontano, da un uso consueto di raccogliere ed ammucchiare, dalla polvere delle soffitte disabitate violate da menti curiose e da mani veloci. L?artista tocca la materia e la rende altro da sé, la decontestualizza e la ingloba con soggetti diversi dando vita ad un?opera autonoma, straordinariamente nuova, contrastante il suo passato e sbilanciata nel presente.L?analisi del linguaggio della Treppo ci avvicina alla dinamica dei ready made, degli object trouvé, ma ci distanzia da questi per gli intenti, che non riguardano tanto il rapporto tra artista ed opera, quanto tra oggetto e tempo, tra oggetto e spazio, tra oggetto ed altro oggetto, per la supremazia finale, appunto, di un soggetto uni...

2008-09-29 16:53:00 As an aside, and nothing to do with my post: It just majorly thundered and started pouring rain. In addition, it’s hot and supposed to be 90. My children do not understand the concept of summer thunderstorms, living in southern California, they’re rare. Now I’ll have to explain that they do NOT indeed need to bundle up. Anyway. My husband and I fought all weekend. Now, you must understand something… We don’t fight. No really, we don’t. He may get annoyed with me. I may find him exasperating at times. But we work it out. Usually, only one of us is upset in someway, and the other person helps figure it out, and make the other feel better. But both of us angry and going at it? Very very very rarely. This weekend it happened twice. My husband, though, refuses to go to bed angry, and so we had to hash it out both times. We finally came to the conclusion that due to the major life change about to happen: Me coming home fro...

How Long Have You Been Without Sleep, And What Were The Consequences?
2008-04-30 00:03:00 Hello and welcome to Tuesday's Question~ How long Have You Been Without Sleep, And What Were The Consequences?Because, the consequences of a night without sleep, make you feel as if your brain is totally fried- gone. Although, the more I think of it the image of the compass above might be a better illustration. In any case, if you're anything like me, you face dreadful consequences when you lose sleep.For instance, you may leave home with two different earrings on, ( guys and girls) or forget to zip up your pants...or lock your keys in your car... just think about it a minute because I know you've done something-I'm not sure how long I've gone without sleep all at once, but I know every time I've missed too much sleep, trouble is on the way... Like the time I was stuck at the Mercy of my bathroom faucet and when I walked around with something on the front of shirt half the day,(Momma Said There Would Be Days Like This), and most recently Has It Really Been A Week wh...
Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Oz: the basics of stress and its consequences, inclu
2008-04-29 19:36:00 We often refer to stress as an emotion, but it is actually a much more complicated phenomenon. Stress is, in fact, a complex mix of emotional, physical and behavioral responses. Feeling "stressed out" is your body's way of saying, "I cannot cope with this challenging situation." Stress can be physically painful and a trigger for depression. I have been a victim of both. According to Dr. Oz:But stress is not always just a result of something negative happening to us. It can be something that takes us out of our usual routines, or something that creates more responsibility or work for us—even something very positive and exciting, like planning a wedding or adjusting to life with a new baby.Having some level of stress is a necessary and positive thing. Stress can be motivating and can enhance performance—ask any athlete or stage performer! I've done my best and worst work while under stress! But too much stress is a bad thing. Chronic stress causes health problems such as high...

Consequences of evil defined
2008-04-19 13:45:00 Evil Kills The SoulDo you ever wonder how some people become capable of committing violent acts of crime? Sometimes when I read these horrible news stories it depresses me for the next few hours of the day. Certain acts of cruelty committed by people are absolutely shocking to me. How do people get the place where they have no conscious? After a period of living under the influence of evil their soul dies. That is why many of these people live suicidal lifestyles that end up destroying them physically. Evil takes away your conscious allowing you to lie, kill, steal and destroy (even yourself) without any convictions. Eventually fear and the desire for control will dominate your every breath, every word and every action. A person consumed by evil can no longer be themselves because they no longer have a living soul. A cloud of chaos follows those consumed by evil everywhere they go and creating an ever-increasing appetite making it impossible to find contentment. Those consumed by ev...
The Possible Doomsday Consequences of Antibiotic Resistance
2008-04-17 18:44:00 For a period of time in recent history, antibiotics were heralded as being the most effective possible treatment for infectious diseases. Most of those illnesses were caused by bacterial agents, so the use of medications that killed off harmful bacteria was a sensible, practical solution. However, there is no clear indication that anyone within the medical or scientific communities saw the rapid evolution of antibiotic resistance coming. Even if someone did, history certainly doesn't reflect it all that well. Regardless of the slip-up of the past, it is now understood that the typical antibiotic has a limited lifespan now, being rendered nearly useless as soon as the bacterial agent they target has developed resistance to their effects. This was the case with tuberculosis, which was once thought to have been wiped out in the developed world, and is the case with many other bacterial infections.The problem of dealing with antibiotic resistance is a complex one. Some bacterial agents...

The ‘Food for Oil” program, and it’s consequences
2008-04-11 15:41:00 The much talked about “oil for food‘ program had it’s share of problems. Corruption, mostly. Not to be wondered at, give we’re dealing with the UN there. But apparently, trying to exchange food for oil isn’t much better, as James Joyner at OTB this morning, notes: The drastic rise in prices for corn, rice, and other staples that is wreaking havoc in parts of the developing world is due in large part to Western investment in biofuels, according to a recent report of the World Bank. … World Bank President Bob Zoellick was on NPR this morning talking about this. Demand for ethanol and other biofuels is a “significant contributor” to soaring food prices around the world, World Bank President Robert Zoellick says. Droughts, financial market speculators and increased demand for food have also helped create “a perfect storm” that has boosted those prices, he says. The soaring costs of food and fuel led to riots in Haiti and Egypt and a general s...
