Memphis' urban outdoors has to be more than a smoky space between car and building.I offer 5 heavily underused outdoor spaces in downtown and midtown that could be that more, places you'd want to stop and places you'd want to walk by (just so you could look at those who stopped). These places and others like them could be social anchors for our city's new street life.As you can see in the photos, they are ...

לפני כשבוע עלה בארה”ב קמפיין פרסומי של משכך כאבים בשם Motrin. אחרי מודעות שהציעו לנשים להמשיך לסבול עם נעלי עקב בעזרת מוטרין, מודעה חדשה פונה לקהל האמהות, ומציעה משככי כאב כדי להתמודד עם הכאבים של נשיאת התינוק במנשא. הכוונה היתה טובה כנראה. הסרטון (בהשראת סיגנון ה-kinetic typography, כמו זה למשל) יצא בעיצומו של שבוע נשיאת התינוקות הבינלאומי. המודעה מנוסחת כאילו “בגובה העיניים” של האמא שמתלוננת על הכאבים ששימוש במנשא גורם, ואיך מוטרין יכול לעזור. הביצוע ...

引用文章為何脫衣舞孃在排卵期時，小費收入較高？ 文/怡克納米斯 2008.10.29 這個世界經濟愈來愈不景氣，蕭條，也愈來愈悶，連帶的經濟學家也很悶，悶到去研究脫衣舞孃的小費收入，竟然和排卵期有關，我服了這幾個經濟學家，但也很佩服他們，開創了經濟學與生理研究的一門路。 經濟學家的悶除了研究脫衣舞孃的排卵期之外，也研究過麥當勞的大麥克售價（詳情請見：火星人經濟學一書） 也可以看出一國的貨幣是否被低估了。 最近，更悶的研究來了，經濟學家葛羅斯（Daniel Gross）26日在星期泰晤士報撰文提出一套「星巴克理論」，宣稱一個國家的星巴克咖啡店數量越多，該國受到這波金融危機影響的可能性就越高。 圖片來源：美聯社 天啊，金融危機竟然與星巴克有關，我極少喝星巴克，但也深受金融風暴的影響，難道星巴克造成金融危機嗎？ 這是一則聯合報在10/27的新聞，新聞指出作者認為當前的金融風暴肇因於次貸與信用危機；「星巴克」堪稱兩者的代表。 星巴克發跡於西雅圖，緊隨房地產開發商進軍城市的郊區與遠郊，迅即成為地產代理商與客戶的休息站。不僅如此，星巴克也在大城市的商業區大肆擴張，尤其是金融中心，僅紐約曼哈坦就有將近200家星巴克。 星巴克飲料中的咖啡因使華爾街的金融從業人員得以熬夜處理各種交易，其中包括膨脹的問題貸款案。許多星巴克分店設在投資銀行的一樓並非毫無來由。 作者認為，星巴克的興起，同樣的也炒作了房地產，有了星巴克的咖啡因，銀行家更有精神設計更複雜的金融商品。 然後，星巴克造成了金融危機？這是我的疑問...... 拿鐵咖啡的奶泡愈多，金融泡沫也愈多嗎？ 作者根據統計指出最近被迫將部分銀行收歸國有、在金融風暴中災情慘重的英國，全國共有698家星巴克，倫敦就有256家；亞洲災情最慘的南韓有253家。 所以，有星巴克的地方，都有金融風暴？ 但想想，會不會是這樣造成的，有銀行的地方就容易有金融風暴，不是更直接嗎？ 下一次，會不會有經濟學家跳出來說，有麥當勞的地方就有糧食危機，因為過多的人消費大麥克漢堡呢？ 由此可見，經濟學家真的很悶......如果你也很悶的話，可以看看《搞笑經濟學》這本書，興許，還會得到一絲絲的快樂...... 2008年6月1日，繼《巷子口經濟學，同時發行電子書》之後，再度發表顛覆之作《搞笑經濟學》，本書榮獲「第一屆經濟學盃金酸莓獎」，獲獎理由是：充分揭露經濟學史上不為人知的黑暗面；對於經濟學冷笑話之發揚光大功不可沒！這兩本書同列博客來百大暢銷書，及同列經濟學10大選書中唯一本土作者，同時也獲誠品推薦選書。 2008年9月1日，再度發表通俗經濟學「火星人經濟學」，再度將艱澀難懂的經濟學，化成一篇篇有趣又好玩的經濟分析，用最簡單的邏輯，讓您了解最不簡單的事情！ (繼續閱讀...)

At some point pretty soon the price of oil is going to start rising again. The election is over (some have suggested that it always drops before elections when Republicans are in the White House), the heating season is about to kick in, and who knows, maybe the recession will be short. So where is the best place to live when it does? "Strategic Sustainability Consultants" Common Current compared the 50 largest American cities, looking ...

Greg Dembicki pens a profile of Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts in The Tyee. He’s impressed. Watts has bigger goals in mind, though, than pointing out the overlooked beauty of an urban centre that’s often viewed as a second tier community on the fringes of Vancouver. With Surrey’s population set to meet or surpass Vancouver’s by 2040, and a large-scale revitalization of the downtown core in the works, she’s intent on turning a Lower Mainland suburb ...

Wi-fi structures and people shapes, from Dan Hill: One of the ideas I’ve been exploring relates to how urban industry - in the widest sense of the word - in the knowledge economy is often invisible, at least immediately and in situ. Whereas urban industry would once have produced thick plumes of smoke or deafening sheets of sound, today’s information-rich environments - like the State Library of Queensland, or a contemporary office - are places ...
