Do I need to specify a specific child? Maybe if I were writing a scientific paper on the topic but it should be this simple.
The people involved in shadow banking are controlling trillions of dollars assets.
I ask you, who needs a trillion dollars worth of assets? Personally I mean. What individuals could possibly need so much wealth?
The 'shadowbankers' for lack of a better term are indifferent to the deaths of the 100 million children in the world who are starving.
If they were not indifferent, the children would not be starving. Money would be invested in helping developing areas.
Evil actions are to be feared. But indifference is what we should fear the most.
The indifference of the one's who carry this wealth is what's killing people. It is the non-action of the shadowbank that makes it an evil entity.
And is anyone actually being harmed by this "shadow banking"? If so, I'd be interested in a concrete example.
Off the top of my head? How about the people who live in the year 2013 who are still living in poverty? How about the children who died this year from preventable and curable disease that couldn't get the treatment they needed because their area doesn't have money to afford things like clinics and hospitals that the developed world takes for granted.
When I was 13 ADD was causing significant problems in my academics and social life. We did the ritalin thing for a bit but my mother wanted to try something else to help since the drug didn't seem very effective.
The program involved me sitting in a dentists chair while I had electrodes on my head. I played a dumbed down version of pac-man with my mind.
The basic way it works is when your brain is creating the ideal waves for 'focus' the pacman moves through the maze. The idea is that the child will focus on the pacman moving and through practice will learn to move the pacman through the maze without stopping.
Eventually we ended the program because it just made me so tired I would fall asleep in the chair. Booooring as shit. I suspect something like this would probably work better for an adult who cares more and has the focus to do it. I think I was too young at the time to really care to put more effort into it.
Do it better. Do it faster. Work longer hours. Bullshit. Kiss ass. Draw a firm line when everyone is so dependent on you that they can't survive without you. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Sabotage the competition. Don't ever settle. Sue. Keep your heart on your sleeve at home. Nail people to the cross in business. Cheat. Lie when you can get away with it. Bend the rules until they break.
Warfarin, originally used as rat poison, is still the number one anti-coagulant. However it requires regular monitoring (blood tests) to ensure therapeutic levels are being taken or there is a risk of embolism or internal bleeding.
When Plavix came out ten or so years ago the major draw for a lot of patients was that it required no regular monitoring which is a pain in the ass for users of warfain. Unfortunately because Plavix works by a completely different method of action it can't be used as a universal anticoagulant like Warfarin (the method of action for Warfin has been well understood for a long time now.)
Conditions like Factor V Leiden mutation are still being treated with Warfarin with very low or no side effects where as with Plavix you run the risk of Severe Neutropenia and unlike Warfarin, who's effects can begin to be negated with a vitamin K injection, there is no antidote for Plavix.
It makes me wonder how much of an improvement in treatment was really made. Maybe it was worth it to some people to not have to get blood drawn every month. But for all that research to be done and have it not work for all conditions and have many more unpredictable side effects (even if they may be in low occurrence) tons of people have switched from paying $3 a month for warfarin to $60 for plavix, which, if you don't have health insurance, is about the same price if not more expensive than getting a simple blood test.
Geeze the more I talk about it the more I imagine a hamster running around in a wheel.
Even chemotherapy treatments these days haven't changed too much. Methotrexate and Vincristine are still among the number one chemo drugs used in leukemia and lymphoma treatment regimens after almost sixty years.
The difference these days is that we know what doses are better for treatment and we know what drugs to use in combination with them to ensure a better prognosis
I wonder how long it will take for this to be banned. Is this unregulated 3D printing or are projects approved by the owners of the device? Imagine a student printing out dorm keys to steal computers. One of them already tried to print a gun. This would only be preventable if the items to be printed are being approved by a human being or an insanely accurate 'safety' algorithm. But at what point does that become a privacy concern? Then the data on what we're 3d printing will be farmed out to the big corporations!
Ordered pairs of molecules at the waters edge and regular 'bulk water' create a 'battery' that produces measurable current. I could try to explain it all here but my understanding of the concept isn't perfect and this UW Professor does a much better job explaining it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVBEwn6iWOo
People set up their cold energy producers in a fashion similar to this and get measurable current and then think they've found cold fusion. Other people cant reproduce the results because until recently it's been seriously misunderstood what's happening to create this measurable energy.
I believe the summary says they paid off all the potential interest as well. Unless they meant they only paid off the 2 and a half years of interest already accumulated. Can anyone clarify?
Find a real world problem you can solve. Program an arduino to wipe your ass or something. Just find that problem and then write your own software to fix it. You'll have to keep your current job for a while while you start but if you can write a piece of software that is well received you can start selling licenses for it. Write an app for android phones and price it at 99 cents. Keep writing apps and build up that passive income. It's an uphill battle but at your age why not move towards working for yourself on your own terms? Your retirement time isn't far off.
I'm reading all these comments about centurylink DSL sucking and frequent disconnects. I've never had a bad experience with them. Never once had to call about a problem and never once been disconnected. I'm wondering where you're located? If you can only get 1.5 Mbs you're probably out at the end of the loop.
This is good news. Centurylink really needed this contract right now.
After acquiring Qwest (formerly USWest) they found themselves with a lot of cable but not quite the subscription levels they needed to maintain their cash flow. At the time Qwest was also recovering from when their CEO Joseph Nacchio was caught cooking the books / insider trading.
The Centurylink union workers' contracts have been being extended daily and weekly since they are up for renegotiating. This process has been going slow and there have been talks of strikes. Hopefully this 3/4 billion dollar contract will give the telecommunications union employees some room to breath and the contracts will be finalized without any cuts to their healthcare coverage (reportedly the main thing up on the chopping block.)
I am an American and regardless of policy I have never once perceived the U.K. as socialist. I was raised being told that the U.K. was our powerful ally and friend in the fight against Nazis and Communists. Our country is pretty fucking big and diverse and I don't speak for all regions and people here but I would venture to say that my classmates also did not perceive the U.K. as being socialist. I wonder which Americans you've been talking to. I'd like to give them a piece of my mind but it would probably fall on deaf ears as my countrymen have proved over and over again that once they've made up their mind about something it can't be changed.
You laugh and say 'dream on' but when they implement the ability to look in one direction and aim in another (imagine shooting over your shoulder when you hear someone behind you) you'll be at a disadvantage sitting on your ass with your aim limited by where you're looking.
Is the guy in the demonstration aiming with the gun in his hands or aiming with his eyes? It's hard to tell exactly but it looks like at this level the gun plays little roll in the apparatus other then a nifty trigger device.
Traditionally looking and aiming have been synonymous since Quake (looking up and down wasn't introduced in Doom) but now for this kind of equipment they'll need a way to track the place the weapon is aiming independently from the where the eyes are looking (imagine putting the gun over your shoulder to shoot someone behind you when you hear their footsteps.)
Does anyone know if it's possible to do this by only modifying the client side code? I would think part of valve's anti-cheat stuff includes checks / balances to make sure the player is actually facing the place he's shooting.
Players who are able to do this will have a distinct advantage over players who are just sitting around in their chairs having their aim limited by their field of view. In fact, it would probably 'win the war' so to speak...
I dated a Japanese girl for a year. She loved Japanese magazines because they always came with free crap. When was the last time you got a magazine wrapped up with a free pair of pantyhose? A free USB flash drive? Hats? The novelty doesn't wear off easy because the magazines are always outdoing themselves on the quality of stuff they are giving away (it's also why paying full retail is usually in the 10 - 14 dollar range when you buy them in America.)
I know not all magazines do this but the popular ones among women do.
Looks like a fun novelty. I'll wait to see what kind of third party apps start coming out before I make my purchase. That will make or break the sale for me.
The Om is the sound of the universe, it's roots are in ancient Hinduism. That was the first thing that popped into my brain. Time for quiet meditation then yoga and vegie-burgers anyone?
There is no shortage of cancer patients. Pharmaceutical companies don't make their money on drugs that don't work. They make their money by making effective drugs that cure people. Do you seriously think there is some big conspiracy to keep cancer patients sick? Are you a fucking moron?
Drug companies have no shortage of sick people. People take up smoking every day. They also have to pay millions in legal fees not to mention insurance and paying for the research they have to do. The more risky the drug, the more expensive it's going to be. Every single dose of some designer drug they administer is a liability. It's not about keeping people sick, it's about off-setting the cost of accidentally killing someone.
Of course it's a business like anything else. It always has been. The medicine woman selling roots makes her money on people believing that her cures work. Don't be so quick to write off pharmaceutical companies as the devil. They may be the ones that invent the drug that saves your life someday.
