The racist past of the minimum wage
2008-06-10 03:26:00 At a 1957 hearing on increasing the minimum wage, a northern U.S. Senator who favored the increase stated: “Of course, having on the market a rather large source of cheap labor depresses wages outside of that group, too—the wages of the white worker who has to compete. And when an employer can substitute a colored worker at a lower wage—and there are, as you pointed out, these hundreds of thousands looking for decent work—it affects the whole wage structure of an area, doesn’t it?” Who was the senator? Here’s a hint: just four years later he was the President. His name: John F. Kennedy. Jonah Goldberg talks about how the minimum wage started as a way to give white workers an advantage in his book, Liberal Fascism. Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning by Jonah Goldberg Anyways, the minimum wage is increasing again in July. It'll probably cause unemployment to go higher a...

How Minimum Graphics Gives Maximum Effect For Your Site
2008-06-07 01:36:00 This is the toughest topic for me to write as I stand to be criticised by the graphic designers! It is obvious that an attractive website would be better than a garish and poorly designed site. But then, how do we determine what is an attractive website? Is it beautiful graphics and colourful words that fly from left to right while making your head and eyes spin? Or could it be interactive buttons that float around the site with rock music in the background? Or could it be a very colourful site? The answer is definitely no! What you need to do to attract visitors or potential customers is to have a simple website loaded with powerful content. That’s just it – keep it simple! In other words, what is attractive on the Internet is a simple but useful site. Your website has to be simple enough so that users can browse around without much distraction. Having flying words or music in the background can only confuse or distract them. In fact, fanciful graphics could actually make your ...

It can be to the extent that a middle class household can actually get shaken by this sudden expense. It is here that cheap car insurance steps in and ensures that people are relieved from spending a single penny for the repair as insurance companies do that for their clients.It is a wonderful thinking on pa...

8-year old boy hit by Toyota Prius, raises debate over hybrid minimum sound
2008-05-09 00:44:00 8-year old boy hit by Toyota Prius, raises debate over hybrid minimum sound levels When legislation was introduced into the U.S. House of Representatives earlier this year to mandate a minimum sound level for hybrid and electric vehicles, we have to admit we thought it was a little on the silly side. But after the events of last weekend, it doesn't sound so far fetched. On Sunday, and eight-year old boy was hit while riding his bike by a Toyota Prius because he couldn't hear the vehicle approaching. Owen Erickson emerged from the accident with only minor bumps and bruises, but did end up on the hood of the Prius. Erickson was at fault for the accident — as he he rode his bike into the path of the vehicle — but his mother did put some of the blame on the hybrid as it was operating in silent EV mode. It is believed that this is one of the first accident in the U.S. that can be linked to a hybrid's silent operation and gives credence to the bill curren...

New Singapore residential buildings must now meet minimum standards for ene
2008-05-04 01:42:00 New Singapore residential buildings must now meet minimum standards for energy efficiency By May Wong, SINGAPORE: New residential properties must now include basic environment-friendly features before the building plans are approved. This is a requirement introduced on 15 April by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA). Under the new guidelines, BCA has set a limit on the amount of heat that can enter a residential building through its facade. This limit is called the Residential Envelope Transmittance Value. Such a criterion already exists for commercial properties. A house with floor-to-ceiling glass designs and little concrete all around. Such a look has become increasingly popular among private residential properties in Singapore. The full-height window design exudes an air of elegance and makes the rooms look larger. But such a design is not environmentally-friendly. “…..because during the day, a lot of heat will be trapped inside the unit and when you turn ...

Ten Steps To Financial Success For A Minimum Wage Earner
2008-04-28 09:38:00 There’s an individual who comments on The Simple Dollar (and a few other personal finance blogs) who identifies him- or herself as “Minimum Wage.” This person is singularly focused on the issues of low wage earners, and while his/her comments can be frustrating, sometimes Minimum Wage is really effective at pointing out how some advice simply isn’t appropriate for people in that situation. What good is portfolio advice to a minimum wage earner? What good does it do to talk about how to buy a $200K+ house when you’re making $7 an hour? Not much. I know where Minimum Wage is coming from. I grew up in a household with a far below average income, and while we may have done all right for ourselves, I grew up around people who existed in true poverty. Thankfully, I was able to take advantage of the great opportunities that life offered me - and the great foundation that my parents gave me as a person - and was able to find a better, financially healthy life where I could raise ...

Legislation to mandate minimum vehicle sound levels coming
2008-04-09 20:51:00 Legislation to mandate minimum vehicle sound levels coming With the increasing numbers of quiet-running hybrid or electric vehicles on U.S. roads today, concerns are growing for the safety of pedestrians, and specifically the blind, who often rely on the sound of vehicles to get around safely and independently. As such, legislation that would set a minimum sound level for vehicles is slated to be heard by the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday. If passed, the law would require all cars sold in the U.S. by as early as 2010 to emit a minimum decibel level, one way or another, although no numbers have yet been set. The bill would first require the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to perform a study, with input from organizations representing the blind and other pedestrians, to determine if a minimum sound level is required, and if so, what it should be. Under the proposal, automakers would have two years to make their vehicles, hybrid or otherwise, meet the criteria. L...

How Well Do You Know What Car Insurance Florida Minimum State Requirements
2008-03-17 22:43:00 It's important to know car insurance Florida requirements when shopping for Florida auto insurance. Not everyone is the same, which means their Florida car insurance policy should not be either. If you aren't sure what's required in Florida state, or you are moving, educate yourself on Florida minimum state requirement and plan to exceed them.When buying automobile insurance in Florida, you must include personal liability of $10,000 for one person involved in an accident that is caused by you, a further $20,000 cover to provide the medical costs of all persons injured in a single accident and $10,000 for damage to property, including the other driver's car.However, you must offset that against the likelihood of you causing an accident involving an expensive private passenger auto. When viewed in these terms, then you might consider $10,000 to be adequate. It's your choice, and yours alone. Nobody can really tell you what you have to do here. In addition to these levels of perso...
Minimum ages and rules for learner drivers and riders By Mahesh Ugale
2008-03-17 06:30:00 Before you learn to drive or ride a new vehicle make sure you know about the rules and restrictions that apply to you. Different vehicles have different minimum ages and restrictions. Rules for learner drivers Before you start to drive, you must: Hold a valid, provisional driving license for Great Britain or Northern Ireland Make sure that any vehicle you drive is roadworthy and properly taxed and insured It is important to learn safe driving practice from the beginning of your driving career because bad habits are hard to break.

Learning safe driving habits from the start will improve the safety of yourself and other road users.If you want to practice your driving with an accompanying driver, the accompanying driver must be over the age of 21 and must have held (and still hold) a full license for three years.As a learner driver you must dis...
