The document summarizes common myths about the national debt and provides facts to address each myth in 1-3 concise sentences. It discusses that while deficits are smaller than during the recession, the debt will still grow substantially without action. It also notes that the longer action is delayed, the greater cuts or tax increases will need to be. Additionally, gradual deficit reduction can help the economy rather than hurt it, and past plans have protected vulnerable groups. The debt issues also cannot be solved solely by cutting waste, taxing wealthier Americans more, or relying on economic growth alone.

California and many parts of the US are facing economic crisis due to the housing crash and recession. The document outlines the dire situation in California with high foreclosure and unemployment rates and billions lost in home wealth and state budget deficits. It argues that Wall Street practices like predatory lending, excessive risk-taking, not paying taxes, and huge executive compensation caused the crash and continue to hurt the economy through lack of lending and exploitation of taxpayers. It calls for taking the fight directly to the big banks and corporations through direct campaigns to change their practices and policies and make them accountable for the role they played in driving communities into crisis.

1) A new UK municipal bond agency called the Local Capital Finance Company plans to raise funds on capital markets and lend to UK local authorities at a lower rate than currently available.
2) The agency believes it can lend at a spread of 55-60 basis points over gilts in the next 2-3 years, compared to the current rate of 80 basis points over gilts.
3) Whether the agency can achieve this rate will depend on its credit rating, with similar European agencies rated just below their respective sovereign ratings.

This document discusses changes in rental vacancy rates in gentrified areas of Washington D.C. from 2000 to 2010. It finds that the rental vacancy rate in D.C. decreased over this period, while rates in surrounding Northeastern areas increased. Specifically, most gentrified neighborhoods in D.C. saw reductions in their rental vacancy rates, indicating that gentrification may lower vacancies. However, some gentrifying neighborhoods like Edgewood had increasing vacancy rates since they were less developed than other gentrified areas.

Port Phillip Council in Melbourne has spent ratepayer funds to conduct a study counting the number of smiles observed in different streets, with the goal of improving community connections. Some residents criticize this as a waste of money and an insult. The council defends the study, but one resident calls it "total nonsense spending" and expresses anger about rising rates bills. A newspaper editorial argues the smile counting demonstrates contempt for ratepayers and that councils should focus on essential services rather than "silly grins."

The document summarizes the current state of global finance and identifies risks on the horizon. It discusses how rising debt levels fueled a global "debt supercycle" as borrowing became a way of life. This included growth of the shadow banking system and securitization to increase credit flows. However, failed regulation led to a collapse of lending standards and growth of risky behaviors. Going forward, high debt levels across governments, businesses, and households pose structural risks, as many countries face pension obligations and budget deficits that could challenge financial stability in the coming years.

This document discusses using Visual Data Intelligence (VDI) and 3D metrics as the basis for analyzing and visualizing data across scales from nano to cosmic, in a scale-independent way. Key points include using light as a reference standard rather than the speed of light, complementing SI units with spherical parameters, and allowing independence of physical scale and metrical context through spherical fields and geometric variables. The approach is proposed to provide benefits for analyzing nano-technologies through a new form of 3D metrology.

The Power of Software Vision - applied to the Science of CellsSabine Kurjo McNeill
These slides are meant to introduce the concepts between new software methods that aim at building 'Smart Knowledge Portals' - as a new kind of 'expert system' or 'artificial intelligence'. ENJOY!
Software lenses combine visual analysis algorithms, semi-automatic image contexts, and innovative image metrics to analyze single images and process high throughput data. Image metrics are interpreted by expert users to study short series, find averages, and determine reference values. These reference values are then used by less skilled users to select particular images within specific ranges for varying visualization parameters and metric variables. The software reveals new depth, perspectives, and hitherto invisible structures for visual analysis. It also offers metric investigation for any context at any scale and imaging technology through quantifications and real-time processing of large amounts of images.
Software as a service, to investigate time series, complex data, measurements and images such that times and trends can be compared, and qualities can be quantified.
This document summarizes the abuse of psychiatry in the UK legal system as observed by Leonard Lawrence. It describes how Lawrence was medicated to the point of losing mental capacity and deprived of access to the Court of Protection for 18 months. During this time, considerable amounts of his assets went missing. The document alleges failures by the Official Solicitor and others to properly protect Lawrence and involve the Court of Protection, resulting in over £100,000 in legal fees being generated against him when he lacked capacity. It calls for reform including unique identifiers on medical documents to establish proper oversight of cases where individuals are deemed to lack capacity.

Terminating digital currencies issued by governments could provide stimulus without austerity or serve as an alternative to Bitcoin in a crisis. Speed money, or money that carries a small fee for use, has been used historically in places like Germany and the US in the 1930s to stimulate local economies. A modern version using digital technology could be issued by governments, chambers of commerce, or community groups to spend into stagnant economies without debt or money creation from central banks. It avoids issues with Bitcoin like price volatility and energy use for validation. Speed money allocation could also be tracked to curb tax avoidance and money laundering.
How to survive the Global Financial and Ecological CrisesSustento

2017 has been a sensational year for European FinTech.
The £9.1b acquisition of WorldPay, $100m Series F of Funding Circle, record VC investment, record lending volumes, millions of users joining challenger banks — while Europe undergoes a massive regulatory overhaul, make FinTech arguably the most exciting sector in startups and venture capital.
In this 70-slide presentation you will find some info that may surprise you:
The pace of online lending in the UK over the past 2 years has increased 2.5x from £3.1b to £8.3 in 2Q 2017.
On average UK banks have a shockingly low NPS of +2, including the UKs largest bank (by market cap) at -24.
Robo-advisors may find themselves in a tough spot as 4/5 big banks plan on launching a robo-advisor service.
European InsurTech practically didn’t exist 3 years ago, now accounts for roughly 10% of total FinTech funding.

The document discusses the global debt problem and its implications for economic growth and degrowth strategies. It argues that massive debt write-downs are inevitable due to an impending economic collapse brought on by unsustainable debt levels. This collapse will result in the degrowth wanted by proponents of degrowth, but risks restoring pro-growth systems afterwards. Short-term solutions like debt forgiveness or creating non-debt money are proposed to avoid economic and social breakdown in the interim. Long-term, a dual currency system is suggested to separate money for spending and saving.
In the vast digital landscape, where opportunities to earn abound, it's crucial to understand the foundational principles that underpin successful ventures. This chapter serves as a compass, guiding you through the fundamentals of making money online, with a specific focus on the power and potential of affiliate marketing.
The document discusses the history of international debt crises and their management. It describes how developing countries took on large debts in the 1970s that led to debt crises in the 1980s. International organizations like the IMF and countries implemented programs like the Baker Plan, Brady Plan, and HIPC initiative to restructure debts and provide debt relief to poorer countries. These programs required economic reforms and aimed to reduce debt burdens to sustainable levels to alleviate poverty in heavily indebted nations.
European alternative lending continues to grow rapidly, led by the UK which accounts for 81% of the market. Growth in continental and eastern Europe is even faster. Yields remain attractive compared to traditional assets like bonds. While a few large players like Funding Circle have emerged, penetration of alternative lending remains low in Europe. As the market matures, players are focusing on withstanding potential downturns and exploring international expansion. Bordersless online lenders are also emerging to serve new regions. Overall, the market is expected to continue growing from its current penetration rate of less than 1% of the total lending market in Europe.
Meltdown presentation atca full master Mike HaywardEd Dodds
Mike Hayward: With the help of DK, I have redrafted my Meltdown presentation to be suitable for an International Audience and it is attached below. I have already given this talk at several UK universities with more to come. It is designed multidisciplinary audiences so it is not too technical and is richly illustrated. Please feel free to use and adapt the presentation to suit your own needs and viewpoint. My name is not mentioned in the presentation. The subject is too important to claim authorship or credit.
Summary...... The global debt mountain, peak oil, population growth, resource depletion, population growth, the pension time bomb and climate change are all interconnected.
Meltdown did not occur in October 2008, but we were within 4 hours of it happening. It has only been deferred. Remember, only 3 dozen economists correctly predicted the 2008 global financial crisis, out of a profession of 20,000 members. Not one of the World politicians and Central Bankers saw the crisis coming, but all of them claim to know the remedy. The reasons for the 2008 crash have not gone away. The US housing market is still in freefall and US and European Banks are becoming increasingly insolvent, although they won't admit it. Economic growth will be stifled by rising oil prices. The bailouts are not working. World Politicians, Bankers and Economists are trying to maintain the status quo but they are losing control. Fundamentally, the real systemic causes of the crisis are rarely discussed with transparency and have not been addressed. Fractional Reserve Banking and universal public ignorance of banking practices are the cause of all the our global problems.
The collapse will happen within the next couple of years. The Eurozone or USA will most probably be the epicentre. The interconnectivity of the financial system means we will all be affected. What happens next after the collapse is impossible to predict. History is replete with examples but not on a Global scale. Massive political unrest will prevail. There will be a rise in popularity of extreme left and right political parties.
A View at the Financial Collapses in the United States and the Evolution of t...Joel Stitt
MBA Thesis presentation on United States Financial Collapses, specifically the Housing Market Crash of 2008 and the Great Depression, and the evolution of the banking and financial services industry over the past century
The presentation was creating for sharing the paper in this regard that has been posted at http://muhammad_mukhtar_alam.tigblog.org with a call for taking up joint action through reviewing monotheistic/Islamic framework for transforming finance system.
The document summarizes Rathbones' annual charity symposium that was held in September 2013 at the Royal Opera House in London. Over 350 charity trustees and advisers attended talks and panels on topics like global energy demand, stock selection, regulation facing charities, and challenges in fundraising. The event aimed to address key issues for charities and showcase best practices through discussions with speakers such as the Charity Commission chairman and the co-founder of Help for Heroes.
The document proposes a nature-backed cryptocurrency called Nature Coin that aims to address climate change and environmental degradation. It works by minting coins through eco-friendly actions like conservation and restoration efforts. The coin could be used to fund further conservation projects and transition to a more sustainable economy through a virtuous cycle of nature-positive investments and activities. It provides examples of how coin allocation could work for different countries based on land area and population. The goal is to incentivize resource conservation for planetary health through this cryptocurrency system.
Bank of America is one of the largest financial institutions in the world serving individual consumers, small businesses, and large corporations. It has over 142,000 employees and $621.7 billion in total assets. Some of Bank of America's stakeholders include customers, investors, regulators, community organizations, and employees. It faces challenges such as lawsuits over alleged discriminatory lending practices and environmental impact of continuing to invest in coal. Bank of America aims to engage with stakeholders, pursue corporate social responsibility and environmental sustainability initiatives, and empower women leaders through financing.
The document summarizes the economic performance of UK cities over the past 10 years and reviews major policy interventions during this period. It finds that despite efforts to boost growth outside London and the South East, the economic divide between southern and other UK cities has widened. Specifically, differences in population growth, businesses, jobs, and housing affordability have increased. It argues the next phase of urban policy should focus on devolving more significant powers and funding to cities to support locally-led growth strategies.
The document discusses the Green New Deal, which is proposed as a solution to address the interconnected crises of climate change, recession, and energy depletion. The Green New Deal would invest in a green future through massive global stimulus spending. It would fight climate change, create green jobs, and spur green economic growth. The Green New Deal aims to transform the economy and banking system to prioritize sustainable and low-carbon investment and development while providing job security.
Perceptions of the Financial Services Industry - Revisited Philip Brooks
In this edition of viewpoint, we revisit ‘Consumer Perceptions of the Industry’. We uncover who they now blame for the current economic crisis, how we make them feel, as well as the concerns we could help them address.
We also take a look into the future, assessing the potential impact of the Virgin Money acquisition of
Northern Rock.
The document summarizes market data from two sites and discusses discrepancies between Census data and other sources of data for Kansas City, KS. It then describes the DrillDown method developed by Social Compact to provide more accurate population and economic data for urban neighborhoods using multiple transactional data sources. The DrillDown analysis found significantly higher populations and purchasing power than Census data for districts in Kansas City, KS and has led to over $1 billion in new investment in other cities.

Similar to Credit Crisis? Cash Crumble is the Reality! (20)
This document discusses the concept of a "Digital Renaissance" where data and images can be analyzed and measured to gain insights and intelligence, just as occurred during the original Renaissance period through studying antiquity, nature, the arts and sciences. It provides examples of prominent Renaissance figures like da Vinci and Fibonacci who made discoveries through visualizing and measuring, and describes how a "Smart Knowledge Engine" can perform similar functions in a digital context by generating true color 3D images, measuring digital color brightness, and producing digital 3D metrics to analyze and forecast changes over time. The goal is to create a "Smart Knowledge" space where multi-dimensional data, images, and graphs can be layered and structured numerical data can be precisely measured.
This document introduces the concept of "Digital Colour Brightness" as a new way to quantify and visualize the color content of digital images. It describes Digital Colour Brightness as a numeric RGB value weighted to represent luminance and illuminance, similar to how the human eye perceives color. Digital Colour Brightness values can be visualized in a "True Colour 3D" space and manipulated using sliders to highlight color and texture. This new metric is proposed as a "generic yardstick" that could provide additional insights into pixels, displays, and image content when compared to existing metrics like luminance and illuminance. Contact information is provided for further information.
The document contains a collection of 45 life lessons or quotes on various topics such as relationships, family, happiness, and living in the present moment. Some of the key points expressed are to cherish friends and family as they will support you during difficult times, to forgive others and not waste time holding grudges, and that every day is special so make the most of each moment. The overall message is about finding life's simple pleasures and focusing on what truly matters.
3d Metrics is a UK company that has developed a new measurement theory called "3d Metrology" that applies across scales from nano to macro dimensions. The theory measures qualities in addition to quantities and complements qualification with characterization. 3d Metrics has also created 3dM software for applications like financial forecasting, modeling effects at the photon, atom, molecular and cellular levels across industry sectors, and simulating life processes at different scales. The company argues that the quality of its financial forecasts validates 3d Metrology as a new measurement approach.
This document outlines Sabine McNeill's "3D Approach" to science and technology, which combines high-level concepts with deep structural analyses. It discusses her background and key experiences that led her to develop this approach, including developing various prototypes for "Visual Data Intelligence" and "Visual Modelling Intelligence" software that aims to quantify and model phenomena using light-based qualities and multi-dimensional layering and interpolation. The approach implements a "3D Metrology" framework for measurement and specifies new indicators using spherical modeling and visualization techniques.
This document discusses a proprietary software system that uses expert input and algorithms to analyze complex image and data metrics from various application areas like cell images, nanoparticles, and nanocomposites. The system extracts values and vocabularies from prior experience to help experts analyze images, compare parameters, and provide forecasting through a user portal.
The document discusses software that can provide more detailed and accurate analysis of digital image content. The software re-visualizes digital images so their contents can be examined in more detail. It distinguishes between images and their contents by applying principles that allow new depth in visual 3D. The software generates metric profiles that can quantify image components, compare image objects like cells, and detect things like white blood cells among red blood cells.
This single line document appears to contain a mathematical equation relating the rate of change of mass (m) over time (sec) to something called "3dM Qualities". However, there is no other context or information provided, so a meaningful summary cannot be determined from the limited information given.

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

“Amidst Tempered Optimism” Main economic trends in May 2024 based on the results of the New Monthly Enterprises Survey, #NRES
On 12 June 2024 the Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting (IER) held an online event “Economic Trends from a Business Perspective (May 2024)”.
During the event, the results of the 25-th monthly survey of business executives “Ukrainian Business during the war”, which was conducted in May 2024, were presented.
The field stage of the 25-th wave lasted from May 20 to May 31, 2024. In May, 532 companies were surveyed.
The enterprise managers compared the work results in May 2024 with April, assessed the indicators at the time of the survey (May 2024), and gave forecasts for the next two, three, or six months, depending on the question. In certain issues (where indicated), the work results were compared with the pre-war period (before February 24, 2022).
