People argue that machines and robots are taking away people's jobs, the more technology develops, the fewer need for work there will be. Are people eventually going to "lose" all the jobs? Is it a good thing to be liberated ourselves from work, or not?
1.Technology is improving the efficiency of production and the quality of service, yes, less people are working on the farm, less people are working in factory, but it all will form a transformation and restructure of labour, people used to work a lot, earn a few, in the future people work less, earn more, so people who works maybe just the real elite or expert or very skilled in a specific area, and they bring so much more income home that the other family members may not need to have a job.
2.Technology cannot completely replace human labour. First, humans are capable of conducting very subtle and delicate and trivial work, humans can be flexible, humans can be creative, humans can intelligently react to uncertain elements that could happen any time. Besides, the society still needs service, real service from another human, it's hard to imagine a machine to replace a sport coach, music teacher, a stunt actor... if people use machine to replace stunt actor or artists, what's the point of watching them then? There are something just cannot be replaced, the products that consist of human emotion and human nature. You don't want to see robots to play a movie (if so, why not just watch animation).
3.The future jobs left for human will be mostly in service section, and middle to top management, creative areas, performance areas etc. Human is social animal, people need to interact with people, so there will always be "jobs" to do. But in the future, yeah, people will be further liberated from labour and enjoy more leisure and pursue more creative and intelligent goals.

Wall Street Values - business ethics and the global financial crisis by Michael A. Santoro and Ronaldo J. Strauss
Wall Street's business model transformed from serving clients and customers to earn commissions to mostly doing proprietary trading to trade directly in the market for profit. (happened in late 1970s when Wall Street firms became the issuers of debt securities, packaging and selling CMOs and other kinds of CDOs based on credit card debt and automobile financing.
Government deregulation and negligence, blurred the line between investment banks and commercial banks, lack of standard of capital ratio and supervision over operation. Government failed to take action when there were early signs of problems before crisis.
Wall Street betting against its counterparties using deceiving methods, obscure information. Goldman Sachs in 2007 made billions of dollars whereas the counterparities it did business with lost billions. It had the most profitable year in its history just as the global economy was heading into a tailspin.

Biodegradable plastic materials made in upstate New York
May.25 2015
Two factories located in upstate New York: using oyster mushrooms they grew themselves to find a new way to produce biodegradable plastic materials.
Ecovative’s first major customer was Steelcase Furniture, which uses its materials for products shipped to customers. Other major clients, such as Dell and Crate and Barrel, quickly followed. While their operation is small, the company is already earning multi-millions of dollars per year in revenue.

Clixsense, click to get paid. Beginner review
Just out of boredom, I searched something related to click ad to earn money. Well, so many people paying money to buy views, then who are the people that are viewing and get paid? You can be one of them, well, you can't get big money out of it, you can only be a tiny gear of the money machine, making contribution and earn some pennies.
I found clixsense and checked some reviews saying that it's legit, so I signed up. At first I thought you just click and make money, simple as that, but no, there are rules!
1.You click an ad, you have to wait on the page for a certain amount of time, you can't go to other places, do other tasks with your laptop, you have to STAY ON THE PAGE, literally, otherwise it doesn't count. Sometimes you need to wait 5 seconds, sometimes 3 seconds till the system verify your view. There is such a time waster!
2.I thought you could click as many times as you want, as long as you are bored enough, but no, wrong again, there are only limited ads for you to click in a certain time period, usually there are just around 10 every time I log in, I spend 3-4 mins on them and run out of ads, have to wait quite a long time and come back to see new ads.
So, it doesn't work exactly as I expected, it's definitely not a tool to make real money, but hey, since I'm in it already, let's just see what will happen eventually.
The withdraw amount is from 8$, you have to make 8$ to withdraw your fruit. And each click is worth only $0.001.... so, 8000 clicks to get paid for real.
Luckily there's also other way to make money on the website, I did a survey and got $0.60 after 30 mins painful answering (the survey was completely in Italian due to the fact that my IP is in Italy, had to use translator all the time). Wow, 60 is like 600 times more than one click, but wait... 60 cents... gosh... I'm just wasting my time am I not?
would you like to have a try? If you really have the time... the link is here: http://www.clixsense.com/?7557712

Attention: Beneficiary
We write in regards to your delayed Contract/Inheritance Funds in the sum of Eight Million ,Five Hundred United States Dollars (US$8,500,000.00) which you are yet to receive as a result of your inability to raise the required fee to conclude your Transaction.The United Nations/IMF has decided to prefer a solution that will make it easier for all the Beneficiaries to receive their Funds. We understood that some Fees are required in order process and Transfer of your Funds into your Account. We are also aware that most Beneficiaries do not have these required fees.
We have therefore deliberated with the Bank in charge of this payment to allow Beneficiaries the privilege of receiving their Fundsin two (2) or three (3) installments. In this case, Beneficiaries will no longer be required to pay the fee at once but part of it depending on the number of installments such Beneficiary will like his/her Funds to be released to him/her. Write the Bank and request that you want your fund to be transferred to your account by installments payment, so that once the first payments enters into your account you can then use money from there to facilitate the transfer of the remaining balance, once the first payment has been sent to you.
The PNC Bank Bank which is now in charge of your Payment has agreed to give the Beneficiaries the option of receiving their Funds at once, in two or three installments. This will help the beneficiaries to pay part of the fee and receive part of their Funds with which such beneficiary can upset the remaining fee and receive his/her complete Funds. To break this down:
$300 fee will facilitate the release of One Million United States Dollars
(US$1,000,000.00) only.
$600 fee will facilitate the release of Two Million United States Dollars (US$2,000,000.00 only.
$1,600 fee which is the total fee will facilitate the release of your Full Contract/inheritance
Funds in the sum of Eight Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars (US$8,500,000.00).
However, Feel free to inform us how much you can raise. should you or cannot afford any of the above Mentioned installment so as for us to talk to the Bank to know how much out of your Funds they could release to you with the amount you can come up with. This is the best the United Nations/IMF can do for you and you are advised to take advantage of this opportunity.
NOTE: Kindly forward your preferred installment option to Mr. Dennis Brown, at the PNC Bank of Texas USA. with the below email address, to indicate your preferred option.
FINALLY:
Be informed that we have been mandated to return back all unclaimed
payment files by the end of June 2015

Deliberated horribly written poem
1.
I, used to be a poet
every night I exploit
my crazy and lazy mind
you don't get fined
if your poems suck
so let's drive the truck
with full load of trash
before thoughts burn into ash
2.Writing poems is easy
just stay up all night
drink up all the beer in the fridge
and come up with...
oh you don't have beer?
Then why you have a fridge?
3.
The exam is coming soon
but I haven't studied
because I'm constantly distracted
by my own beautiful existence
look at myself from the inner eyes
hey you are here, too!
4.
Oh moon, why don't you love me exclusively
is it because I'm too ordinary among
all the people on the dirty earth
while your light is too generous
to be given to only one person
5.
gummy bear candy baby
wear color yellow red and green
why are you all so sweet
get me addicted... addicted
my soul follows your scent
whenever I shop in the supermarket
finally I brought you home... to my home
bite and chew every single of you
oh my baby gummy bear candy
6.
a beautiful cat
an ugly cat
pick one of them
either this or that one
they both are called cat
7.
Oh piles of books,
how am I supposed to consume
so much of you
page after page
thousands of pages
you are a whole lot of pages
made piles
and I read at a speed of
10 pages a day
police said that's too slow
for the freeway
8.
It rained
it's nothing different from other rains
just a rain
but happened today
9.
I haven't written
the next poem
so I leave a blank
for it
10.
My eager, my desire, are so strong
pull me closer and closer to you
to open your pack and touch you
and put you in my mouth
oh gummy bear
but every time after a full pack of eating
I feel again empty and hollow
as if for quite a moment
I stop being the poet of my life
11.
I'm in the library
thinking about poetry
how some people suck
when they tried to be smart
I'm also one of them
but sitting in a different library
in a different country
12.
I'm back from library
but it's a month in between
I didn't stay there all this time
just happen to write again when
I'm just back from library again
13.
Our sun went down the horizon
some stars lit up
are they over or under their horizons?
14.
Why, while an economist knows to appreciate literature
a more open-minded writer despises money
