I can't see how this is in the same category as the other B&amp;M disasters. Every time I go there to get a present for some kid my son knows last minute...there are lines to check out. I mean sure, that is a pretty simple observation, but stores are clean and busy, they don't appear to be on life support.
"I think a mention of the age-old adage ""correlation does not mean causation"" is in order here.   Keep in mind another possible explanation is when the issue is brought to light people are suddenly given a reason to call in, instead of shrugging it off as a temporary issue."
&gt; - Waiting too long to renovated their stores.  There was a Sears between my house and the neighborhood train station that I walked by regularly for two years before realizing that it was an operating store and not an abandoned warehouse.
What is the definition of work here. With no running water you would ha e to fetch water multiple times a day,.  A cold night would Mean a sleepless night ensuring the fire continues to. Be lit.    And the list would go on. I think we are over estimating just how much leisure time ancient man had.  But at the same time no one is stopping you from living that lifestyle.
The simple answer should be easy to find: Call your local place, inquire about the price, and then divide that cost by the cost of shaving supplies per year (don't forget to account for your time!) to get the number of years it would have to last to reach the break-even point. Some have indicated that laser hair removal does not last forever; if it does not last at least as long as the break-even point, then it is not more economical. If it does, then it is.  This is only one data point in the decision, but it should be fairly straightforward to calculate. Like all grooming services, I expect there is a range of prices, so you may want to call more than one location.
"Dude, be nice.  The series exams are pretty much all memorization.  So long as you memorize the rules, you pass.  You can't really reason your way into a passing grade, so you can't be upset with anyone for not having ""basic understanding"" after completing any of the exams."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like you're posting something that defines labor hours right now (and for a different purpose)...  Not for when said provisions of the Affordable Care Act are implemented.    Go easy on me, I'm having a vodka ditch tonight to cope in general.
In an age of terrible customer service, I'd say an easy customer service experience improves my perception of the brand and makes me more likely to buy one of their products again. But maybe that is just because companies have set the bar so low with atrocious customer service in recent years...
Maintaining a healthy and hygienic routine during those down days is a core accountability of every girl out there. It will not only allow you to move freely and give you the feeling of security but also will create a good impression to the people around you.
You've convinced me with your capital letters. How could I have been so blind?   The average person on unemployment is there for 39 weeks. Not permanent. So, you're basing your argument on false data. Further, a certain portion of these are there not because of stigma, but because the industry in which they worked doesn't need the labor. Another portion is only actually looking for work in order to continue qualifying for unemployment, and will retire after the benefits run out.   You're talking about making a truly significant policy change with real negative effects on many, many real people in order to help a part of the population that doesn't necessarily exist in the manner you imagine it does. From what I can tell, you have done nothing to arrive at your conclusions beyond feeling an emotional reaction with no actual sense of the data. Or any actual knowledge of economics.
I know the feeling. I used to smoke after doing my laundry. Had quit for about 10 days. Do laundry. Once i am done i was overwhelmed by this urge to smoke. Didn't see it coming. One of my most challenging moments. I somehow made through the next two hours till that urge waned off.  Thats why as you go along it becomes easier. If you need to talk to someone let me know.
"I can't get over how many people explain these thngs like ""the boomers"" were some kind of conscious movement who collectively decided what and what not to do. ""They"" were people living life as dictated by the economic, political and sociological climate that they happened to be alive in. Speaking as a ""Millenial"", we need to stop trying to diagnose our own small slice of existence, stop whining about the incidental or circumstantial decisions that previous generations made that we can only possibly analyse with hindsight, and figure out if there's anything at all we can do to prevent the following generations from being completely fucked by our own inadvertent life choices."
What a bizarre explanation of what's really happening here- or more specifically, what isn't happening.   This will solve some logistical issues related to multicenter treatment and certain tests that are outsourced to more specialized institutions, but had absolutely nothing to do with speed or accuracy of molecular profiling of cancers.  Current modalities absolutely  do not take 8-10 weeks to complete. They take a couple days at most. The only context in which any of this makes sense is one in which you assume full genotyping of all patients in the very near future, with a robust improvement in our understanding of the molecular underpinnings of cancer. Let's say we have a  patient with lung adenocarcinoma who we want to test for egfr mutation status, to determine whether we need to initiate erlotinib therapy.   We don't need or want the full genome. All we need is specific exon sequencing.   Talking about a nationwide network of information only makes sense if we plan on having bioinformaticists go nuts exploring genes that we currently have no understanding of with regard to pathogenesis or treatment of cancer.  Saying this will speed diagnosis is like saying a faster internet connection will help you build a computer way faster. It's nonsensical.
Which was why I gave the example of the PA recognized waiver for leases.  PA landlord/tenant law requires 10 day notice to be given to the tenant prior to filing a court action.  PA courts have recognized, for decades, that this right can be waived.  Waiving your right to notice has been one of the standard clauses in PA leases for well over 3 decades.
Horrible comparison. The banks had a government plan save them. Plus, just because you may understand the top-down financial fuckery that went on, don't think that the average lay-person did.  To the average person now however, he dun took drugs an' cheated
"I am surprised at the amount of work this contract wants done. I'd question if it's even legal given the high costs. I suspect it's only there to remind abusive tenants of responsibilities they already have in law for extraordinary abuse beyond ordinary wear-and-tear: they are already on the hook to repaint if they trash the paint (think: child writing on walls, happens a lot), and already need to fumigate (and a lot more) if they are a filth-type hoarder who brings in a serious infestation (happens a lot). The landlord can already go after these people for additional money beyond the deposit. But that's not you. So don't freak out about those clauses, until you talk to the landlord and see what he's really after. Almost certainly, he really wants a ""fit and ready to rent"" unit upon your departure, so he doesn't have to take the unit off the market for months fixing it. As long as that's done, there's no reasonable reason for further work -- a decent landlord wouldn't require that. Nor would a court, IMO. The trouble with living in a place for awhile is you become blind to its deficiencies. What's more, it's rather difficult to ""size up"" a unit as ready when it's still occupied by your stuff. A unit will look rather different when reduced to a bare room, without furniture and whatnot distracting you. Add to it a dose of vanity and it becomes hard to convince yourself of defects others will easily see. So, tread carefully here. If push comes to shove, first stop is whether it's even legal. Cities and states with heavy tenant populations tend to have much more detailed laws, and as a rule, they favor the tenant. Right off the bat, in most states the tenant is not responsible for ordinary wear-and-tear. In my opinion, 6 years of ordinary, exempt wear would justify a repaint, so that shouldn't be on the tenant at all.
"&gt;You are starting from false premises built on politically driven economic theories. The reality does not square with anything that you just wrote. I like to see the historical evidence (statistical, not anecdotal) for that. I'll provide a good starting point for you: [list of recessions in the United States](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_recessions_in_the_United_States). A quote ""The National Bureau of Economic Research dates recessions on a monthly basis back to 1854; according to their chronology, from 1854 to 1919, there were 16 cycles. The average recession lasted 22 months, and the average expansion 27. From 1919 to 1945, there were six cycles; recessions lasted an average 18 months and expansions for 35. From 1945 to 2001, and 10 cycles, recessions lasted an average 10 months and expansions an average of 57 months. **This has prompted some economists to declare that the business cycle has become less severe. Factors that may have contributed to this moderation include the creation of a central bank and lender of last resort, like the Federal Reserve System in 1913**, the establishment of deposit insurance in the form of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in 1933, increased regulation of the banking sector, the adoption of interventionist Keynesian economics, and the increase in automatic stabilizers in the form of government programs (unemployment insurance, social security, and later Medicare and Medicaid). "" In fact, the US at the time wanted to get away from the destructive boom and bust cycles that were destroying the economy, so went to Europe to find out how come they had significantly less disruptive cycles, and learned that the notion of a central bank was very useful to smooth out cycles. Also read about [The Great Moderation](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Moderation). One of the causes is listed as ""Greater central bank independence, in which the Fed balanced money supply more closely with demand"". How do you propose that the money supply in an economy should be *matched* with economic growth and contractions? Letting be independent is a proven recipe for more harm than *trying* to match them. All sourced with ample data.
I was also going to mention people going through savings during unemployment.  And given the unemployment figures, 28% having no emergency savings even seems low.  Purely anecdotal but I cleared through my savings a few years ago during seven months of unemployment and have several friends who did the same and/or racked up thousands in debt.
It's often difficult to say what precipitated a sell off like this, but in the absence of any relevant news -- war on the Korean peninsula, China deciding to dump all U.S. debt, Trump showing that in some way, shape, or form he's up for the job -- you might consider it's the end of the quarter, and also the beginning of a somewhat long holiday weekend.
A white paper is an educational paper that's about 5 to 10 pages long.  They are great tools for a decision maker to use.  Clear and concise.  May have some graphics as well.  Non- hype wording as well.  In consulting, we used them as leave behinds and they are invaluable.
Surprisingly accurate. Are you in the industry? I usually see wildly incorrect info about processing online. (I work in processing.)  Only part not quite correct:   &gt;At the end of the day, week, whatever, the processor collects money from the issuing financial institution and is responsible for giving the right amount -- less fees -- to the merchant.  The acquiring bank/processor actually fronts money to the merchant (typically within 1-2 days.) The issuing bank later reimburses the acquiring bank/processor, less interchange fees. The processor then deducts the interchange fee amount and their markup from the merchant's account, making themselves whole from the original money fronting and getting their profit.  That's why there's risk to processors when it comes to chargebacks. If a transaction is fraudulent, the issuing bank isn't going to give them money for it, but they've already given money to the merchant. So they need to be able to recoup it from the merchant or they'll be out that money.  But yeah, definitely a service, and it's odd that people often argue that it isn't.
"overtime is a fond memory in the USA maybe. somehow the rest of the civilized world has discovered overtime/living wage are not mutually exclusive to progress and quality of life.  and at somepoint, as history has over and over and over again shown. those who view themselves as ""ambitious enough and smart enough"" to exploit their peers, will have the floors ripped out from under them.  additionally, this isn't ""overpaying"". this is paying enough for people to live a happy life. this is what it means to live in a SOCIETY. you are part of the problem, not some messiah who happened to be smarter and more ambitious."
I'm on the border of Gen X &amp; Millennial, and it seems to me that the overall market is what's impacting a lot of these companies rather than a particular generation of people. I don't buy napkins because I have paper towels. I'd rather spend money on Netflix than Cable TV.  I mean I'm sure age has something to do with it as culture changes over time. But just as in important, with a quick google search I can find the DiY guide to redoing my floors or anything else for that matter. It's easier to save money with more information and the internet has provided a bunch. Now the trick is just getting accurate information. ugh.
I think what he means are comments on different time stamps of a song. I mainly use the phone app but if I listen to music at work on the website you can see little comments pop up on the song timeline thing.   I'm sure it's useful for finding parts of a song you like, especially for those hour long+ remix type songs that are basically a bunch of songs together.
Sounds like you're a man, so you're in luck. Our formalwear all looks similar enough that you can get by on a very short rotation. You can buy 1 pair of decent slacks in a versatile color like navy or grey with a pair of brown shoes with matching belt then have as little as 2 button down shirts (white and light blue). You can help keep the button downs clean by wearing an undershirt. This outfit can even overlap your interview outfit if you want to save more (especially if you want a good jacket/sport coat). The real key is to just not pick anything flashy and nobody will ever notice. You'll be running to the dry cleaners every single weekend, but you won't have much in terms of up-front costs. For women though I have no clue how they manage this stuff.
Just an observation analysis of what has been going on and what the media buzzwords are. Also all of the people who I know that are doing well or are not complaining take care of there health/body, didn't divorce, work hard, educated and are not stressed because they live within there means. Plus I truly believe that our capitalistic society is designed to keep you in debt or keep you needing government/charity help if your poor/uneducated.
Correct.  But he was over simplifying the problem so I wanted to keep it simple myself.  There's a whole lot of moving parts in this problem.  And no one really knows the implications so I kept it to what is generally accepted.
If you want believe our 40 workweek is harder than those of ore-civilization man go ahead.  What did we do in our downtime in that epoch?  It was maybe some song, art or games.  But i certainly don't believe that life was more leisurely.  Studying ancient lives is. It going to paint a perfect picture of what life was really about.
"Author seems bitter.  A person who frequently talks in cliches while never or rarely offering any substantive is a problem; a person who knows his/her stuff and uses cliches as an efficient way to get their point across is not.    Purposely trying to avoid common vernacular will do more to make a person sound like they're trying to compensate for a lack of understanding.  The only way this article makes sense is if it's just the author venting, otherwise it serves to get supposed halfwits who talk in cliches to find a new way to ""fake it until they make it""."
"last day of the month is a ""seasonality test' ?  what do you mean by "" Is there an actual relationship or are you uncovering a relationship of noise?""  what would you recommend me doing now ?  what numbers are you interested in seeing to further investigate such strategy ?"
I'm quite aware.  Nevertheless, the situation I'm describing is a little different.  It's the transition phase from order to chaos.  Currently, there are lots of well-off kids in universities around the country who don't have bodyguards on them 24/7.  That's because there is an assumption of general security.  If things were to go downhill suddenly, there would be a severe lack of qualified people willing to dive into a population center to escort some kid out safely.  Time would also be of essence.  Desire for safety of one's children, when paired with a severe real or perceived threat, would thus make these types of services spike rapidly, if for a short period of time.  It's not dissimilar to what happens with fuel prices when a hurricane cuts of supply.  And, of course, perhaps I would start a company which would cater to the expanding group of people who wanted private security over the long haul.  Opportunity abounds!    The point is that, if one is a resilient, flexible, and capable person, then the macro-scale doesn't matter all that much.  I prosper now, in this serene and stable environment; I will prosper in a world where labor is overtaken by automation; I would prosper even more in situation where society goes to shit.  There is no situation, short of absolute apocalypse or immediate failing health, in which I would not adapt and prosper.
The material and the exams are very straightforward. There are no strategies required, there is plenty of time to complete all the questions, and there are no confusing questions, so no worries about deciphering strange wording.  Read all the material and you will be absolutely fine. Standard study tips apply, read the chapter over again if there are certain items that you find a bit more difficult. I personally found success doing one chapter at a time, then going through the summary questions. Take a break for an hour or so. Repeat until completed the book. Schedule your time so that you will have a few days prior to your exam to review all the material, re-reading the summaries and targeting your review as necessary.  Basically, it's not much to worry about. Just do the reading and all will be fine. Best luck.
I completely agree, but this is not different from going to make a coffee or get another beer, go to bathroom do any number of 2 minute tasks that would traditionally be done in the ad break on TV.
"Interestingly, ancient Judaism and Christianity held a Jubilee year every 50 years in which all debts were forgive, slaves were freed, etc. ""The land must not be sold permanently, for the land belongs to me. You are only foreigners, my tenant farmers."" -Leviticus 25:23 Jubilee would more resemble ""the government declares all mortgages and credit card debts void"" with FDIC caping the payouts when banks fell into receivership, not simply ""the government pays off all mortgages"".  Yet, it still demonstrates that primitive societies employed tools similar to what you describe.  There is surely all manor of interesting analysis of the economic impacts of Jubilee by Jewish religious historians.  You might even find arguments that communism was invented because Western Judeo-Christian societies abandoned Jubilee. As an aside, I'm surprised that nobody here directly discussed the velocity of money.  If you wipe out a mortgage, you might convert a spender into a saver, especially during a recession, meaning you've injected slow money.  Conversely, anyone too poor for a mortgage probably spends all their money, meaning giving them a job injects faster money.  In addition, it's much cheaper to hire tons of poor people to do useful things, like repairing bridges."
Also, take advantage of off-season times. I say this because anyone from senior associates (fancy way of saying second years isn't it?) to managers will have free time for a little chat here and there. These brief moments helped me get an e-mail or some way of contacting them after I left the internship. Definitely helps.
&gt;&gt;The US remains wedded to its allegedly free market leanings despite revelations that JP Morgan, among others, receives $14 BILLION a year in government subsidies.  I don't think you'd get much more argument from American taxpayers (big or small) that subsidies if/when they are justified should come with requirements to make sure the public interest is truly being served.  What is less clear is that holding stock in businesses that the government has decided to subsidize means the government should control the pay of the parent company's execs.  Disclaimer: I identify conservative with libertarian leanings and do not (to the best of my knowledge) own stock in any bank or bank-like entity
Not sure why this is being downvoted, SSRS, CR, or really any of the major reporting scenarios are designed for these types of calculations. Not only that but using them would enable one to just update the data/change the parameters to match the right date range and not have to spend hours doing repetitive calculations.  Edit: yeah Access is basically GUI-SQL but depending on who will see this data (i.e OP's boss) you'll want it all prettied up.
I did some poking and found this: https://www.gsa.gov/policy-regulations/regulations/federal-management-regulation-fmr?asset=90778  The original article I used elsewhere in this thread was not correct. When I was involved with this personally it was around 2000 or so, it looks like they changed that policy sometime in the mid 2000's.
