Hike Wildcat Mountain, A Peak
Wildcat Mountain, A Peak, Information
Location: Gorham, NH (Coös County, New Hampshire, USA)
Range: Carter-Moriah Range
Rating: Moderate/Difficult
Features: Peak Bagging , Gondola, Glen Ellis Falls
Distance of highlighted hike below: 8.4 miles with Wildcat D
Wildcat A Mountain, or just known as Wildcat Mountain is 4,422 feet tall with a prominence of 1,034 feet located in Gorham, New Hampshire in Coös County in the White Mountains on the East side of Pinkham Notch. It is one of 6 mountains in the Carter-Moriah Range along with Wildcat D Mountain.
Wildcat has 5 summits: A, B, C, D and E. Only A and D are considered part of the 4,000 footers. Summits B, C and E lack the 200 foot minimum topographic prominence to be considered a 4,000 footer. The E peak was formally believed to be taller than the D peak, and used to be on the official 4,000 footers list, but current topographic maps prove the D peak to be the taller summit.
This hike is a great opportunity to peak bag 2 official 4,000 footer mountains in one hike: Wildcat A and Wildcat D (along with B,C and E peaks). If you follow the highlighted portion of the trail below on the map, you can achieve this by following the Wildcat Ridge Trail from Route 16. After only 0.1 miles on the trail, you will reach Glen Ellis Falls. Between Peaks D and E, you will see the Wildcat Mountain Ski Area, which also has a gondola ride going to the bottom. (most often they won't let you ride it down because you are suppose to pay at the bottom first, but sometimes you can get lucky.)
The view from Wildcat A are not 360 degrees, but rather more like a 150 degree view from a lookout point. The view includes Carter-Dome Mountain, Carter Notch Hut and the Carter Lakes.
Wildcat B Peak is roughly 0.8 miles from the summit of Wildcat A Mountain
Wildcat C Peak is roughly 1.5 miles from the summit of Wildcat A Mountain
Wildcat D Mountain is roughly 1.8 miles from the summit of Wildcat A Mountain
Carter Dome Mountain is 2.1 miles from the summit of Wildcat A Mountain
Wildcat E Peak is roughly 2.1 miles from the summit of Wildcat A Mountain

Wildcat Mountain, A Peak, Trail Maps - Directions from the parking lot to the summit Top
The map below shows how to get to the summit of Wildcat A Mountain as well as Wildcat B, C, D and E via an in-and-out hike on the Wildcat Ridge Trail (beginning and ending at the same parking lot). You could also get to Carter-Dome Mountain if you add an additional 2.1 miles each way.
You begin at the Glen Ellis Parking lot located in Gorham, New Hampshire on Route 16. From the parking lot you will cross under the road through the foot tunnel and cross over the Ellis River. Not even 0.1 miles into the hike you will come to a path on the right hand side leading to Glen Ellis Falls. You will want to go left and continue for 2.0 miles, where you will land in between Wildcat peaks E and D, and will get a good view of Wildcat Mountain Ski Area and the gondola ride. Continue up a rocky hill to Peak D, where there is a newly built lookout deck with a great view of Mount Washington. Continue along the Wildcat Ridge Trail for 1.2 miles where you will find yourself on the C peak. It is not marked, so you might not even realize you are there. From C peak, another 0.9 miles will bring you past B peak and onto Wildcat A peak. There is a sign for a viewing area on the right. There are great views of Carter-Dome Mountain, Carter Notch Hut and the Carter Lakes. To get back to the same parking lot, retrace your steps back 4.2 miles.

Davis Love III
I felt like I needed a friend and a teacher
Had he been of the 20th century, perhaps Alfred Lord Tennyson might have written in 1992 that "in the spring, a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of Love — and Couples, too."
That is how dynamic were Davis Love III and Fred Couples in March and April that year. Sadly, Tennyson had died exactly 100 years earlier so he wasn't witness to Love and Couples winning three times each in a stretch of nine PGA TOUR tournaments.
It might have been poetic inspiration for Tennyson — especially after Love, having been edged by Couples in Los Angeles four weeks earlier, roared to a memorable four-stroke victory at THE PLAYERS Championship.
They would be 1-2 in both the Player of the Year and money list categories in 1992 (Couples edging Love in each instance), but at THE PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass Couples was no match for Love's exhilarating 5-under 67 on Sunday.
A pitch-in birdie at the par-3 eighth and a 30-foot birdie roll at the par-4 10th fueled Love's fourth-round heroics. But another sub-plot dominated the 27-year-old's win. That being a family affair.
Still hurting over the 1988 death of his father, Davis Love III played in front of his mother, his wife and young daughter, and had his brother, Mark, on his bag. "I felt like I needed a friend and a teacher," Davis said of Mark.
Couples had set a course-record 63 Saturday to get within one of Love, but never got closer. This time, THE PLAYERS was truly a Love story.
Past Champion: Davis Love III, 1992
Perhaps unknown to the masses at the time, Davis Love III rose to golfing prominence and the consciousness of fans around the world with a final-round 67 to finish 15-under-par and win THE PLAYERS Championship.
Davis Love's Historic Wins
At the Island Green, where so many dreams have been crushed, Love III saw his ball roll to within five feet of the stick, which secured him the win.

Chee Tong Temple serves as a temple for the Overseas Chinese, catering to their spiritual needs. The temple was viewed through a contemporary lens instead of immediately lifting traditional Chinese design language.
Because the Chinese believed in an active role in the way fates are determined, the architects were made to consult a medium regarding their design. Through the dialogue process, it was decided that the top of the grand roof would evoke a lotus. This would be made of glass, and allow light to enter the altar area in the day, while reflecting light outside during the night. This is analogous with the notion of religion, time and the environment, while the night illumination is symbolic of the temple's relationship with the local community.
Additionally, the medium did not want the building to feature sharp edges that would threaten its surroundings. Therefore, the architects operated within these parameters, working in their own desire for a pyramidal roof, but articulating it as an eight-sided trigram.
Throughout the design process, the architects struggled to maintain a balance between the pursuit of aesthetic integrity and the conventional desire for traditional tokens. It was around this time that the designers realised the importance of the urgings lying at the core of human consciousness that constitute religion, concluding that a design based on purely artistic whims would be most faithless.

Q: Is it possibly to patch code onto __init__ from within a method decorator? I want to create a property decorator that computes the property value once upon object initialization, rather than every time the property is accessed. For example:
class Foo:

  def __init__(self, value):
    self.value = value

  @cached_property  # How to implement this decorator?
  def foo(self):
    return self.value * some_heavy_computation()

I'd like this be equivalent to:
class Foo:

  def __init__(self, value):
    self.value = value
    self._foo = self.value * some_heavy_computation()

  @property
  def foo(self):
    return self._foo

Is it possible to somehow add code to __init__() from within the method decorator?

A: We need to sub class property so that we can later find all the cached properties of the object and initialize them after __init__:
class CachedProperty(property):

  pass

The actual decorator evaluates the method body when called for the first time, and remembers the result for later accesses:
import functools

def cached_property(method):
  attribute = '_cached_' + method.__name__

  @CachedProperty
  @functools.wraps(method)
  def wrapper(self, *args, **kwargs):
    if not hasattr(self, attribute):
      setattr(self, attribute, method(self))
    return getattr(self, attribute)

  return wrapper

Now we can use a base class to access the cached properties after __init__ so that the values will be available from the cache:
class InitCachedProperties:

  def __init_subclass__(cls, **kwargs):
    super().__init_subclass__(**kwargs)
    orig_init = cls.__init__
    def init(self, *args, **kwargs):
      orig_init(self, *args, **kwargs)
      for prop in cls.__dict__.values():
        if isinstance(prop, CachedProperty):
          prop.__get__(self)
    cls.__init__ = init

To make the example from the question work, we need to let our class inherit from this property initializing base class:
class Foo(InitCachedProperties):

    def __init__(self, value):
      self.value = value

    @cached_property
    def foo(self):
      return self.value + 21

The study was carried out in two localities surrounding the national park of Lobeke in Cameroon. It aims to evaluate floristic diversity and carbon stock in Cocoa agro-ecosystems. 44 plots (25 x 25 m) were established in 15 agro-ecosystems of different ages to identify all timbers of at least 10 cm of Diameter of Breast Height (DBH). 2,676 individuals of timbers and 42 bananas belonging to 32 families, 68 genera and 74 species were recorded. The most abundant families were Malvaceae (80.1%), Mimosaceae (4.6%), Euphorbiaceae (2.5%), Cecropiaceae (2.3%), Moraceae (1.3%) and Apocynaceae (1.1%). Theobroma was the most abundant genus (79.2%), followed Albizia (4.33%), Myrianthus (1.57%), Macaranga (1.12%) and Antiaris (1.08%). Biomass was estimated at 140 Mg C.ha-1. In timbers, carbon stock was estimated at 128.7 Mg C/ha. That of litters was estimated at 7.7 Mg C/ha; herbs at 2.53 Mg C/ha; roots at 1.43 Mg C/ha and bananas at 0.5 Mg C/ha. Carbon stocks from this agro-ecosystem were compared to data recorded in Costa Rica and India. Several species used as non-timber forest products during dry season were recorded. Cocoa agro-ecosystems could be assimilated to a carbon well; and consequently as an attenuation and adaptation measure in mitigating climate change.

As a national non-profit organization, the Home Safety Council (HSC) is dedicated to preventing home-related injuries through educating the public. The Home Safety Council is a "leading source for home safety tips, checklists and information about home fire safety, falls prevention, poison prevention, water safety, child safety, disaster preparedness as well as many other home safety topics."1 HSC utilizes innovative website technology, educational resources for teachers, policy makers, and corporations, partnerships with companies, and a network of volunteers to accomplish its goals.
In May of 2005, HSC joined with Lowe's and Swing-N-Slide to sponsor the Play Set Safety Week. This was after they had commissioned a comprehensive home injuries study and issued The State of Home Safety in America report in 2004. Since 2005, they have promoted the Home Safety Month in June, just as school is ending and children are spending most of their time at home including on their backyard play equipment.
As a way to reach even more homes, the Home Safety Council's Literacy Project "provides effective, low-cost fire safety, disaster preparedness, and poison prevention education materials that can be used by adults at all reading levels."3 On a national level, HSC's Policy Advocates Center supports legislation for safer homes, and they award Commendation Seals for Safety Innovation. In 2006, one of the companies commended was the EI Du Pont de Newmours and Company for their Long Lasting Mulch as a surface for indoor and outdoor playgrounds.

At times, it can seem like there are really limited options out there for making a masculine looking card. Stampin' UP has done a great job by creating this bundle of products to do just that. Appropriately named the Nailed It Bundle, this stamp set and coordinating framelits make this task simple.
Pair it with the Hexagons Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder and you have a great looking card with minimal effort. But no one else will guess that!
Here is a great tip to get a good impression from the embossing folder. Before running the silver foil paper piece through the Big Shot in the dynamic embossing folder, spritz the white paper backing with a little water using the Stampin' Spritzer. It will soften the paper enough so it won't crack.
Remember that the sandwich for the Big Shot requires one less clear plate as the folder is a lot thicker.
I used the Happy Birthday sentiment from this set for the tool card.

Franz Schubert: A Biography
Elizabeth Norman McKay
Clarendon Press, 1997 - 362 Seiten
Franz Schubert (1797-1828) was born in Vienna of immigrant parents. During his short life he produced an astonishing amount of music. Symphonies, chamber music, opera, church music, and songs (more than 600 of them) poured forth in profusion. His 'Trout' Quintet, his 'Unfinished' Symphony, the three last piano sonatas, and above all his song cycles Die Schone Mullerin and Winterreise have come to be universally regarded as belonging to the very greatest works of music. Who was the man who composed this amazing succession of masterpieces, so many of which were either entirely ignored or regarded as failures during his lifetime? In her new biography, Elizabeth Norman McKay paints a vivid portrait of Schubert and his world. She explores his family background, his education and musical upbringing, his friendships, and his brushes and flirtations with the repressive authorities of Church and State. She discusses his experience of the arts, literature and theatre, and his relations with the professional and amateur musical world of his day. Schubert's manic-depressive temperament became of increasing significance in his life, and McKay shows how it was partly responsible for his social inadequacies, professional ineptitude, and idiosyncracies in his music. She examines Schubert's uneven physical decline after he contracted syphilis, traces its effects on his music, his hedonism, and sensuality, and investigates the cause and circumstances of his death at the age of 31.

The Great Email Scandal Of 2032
The Big Issue of the 2032 Presidential Election - Should Man colonize Mars now that the Martians have turned out to be such a bunch of Weisenheimers?
From the very beginning of The Electronic Age the Martians had been picking up the Earth's radio and television signals and, now that Mankind had finally made contact with them, we were the butt of one crude, silly remark from our new Martian friends after another.
The First Meeting Between Man And Martian:
"Greetings! I am Captain Dennis Sullivan of the United States Air Force!"
"Sullivan? Ed Sullivan? I'll give you a 'Really Big Shoe' up your ass! Hey, where's Topo Gio?"
"Topo Gio?"
"Huh? Wouldn't you know it? First Man on Mars and he don't even speak English! How is it possible to get into NASA without a Green Card?"
"Uh . . . "
The first meeting between Krollnar, Emperor Of Mars, and Anne Coulter, President Of The United States, was robbed of whatever historic grandeur it might have offered when Krollnar did a three minute bit about Abraham Lincoln's brain splattering all over the audience at Ford's Theater and then accused Coulter of being a lesbian. Unfortunately for Coulter's political career she clearly found all this very amusing and was forced to resign from offfice.
The first expedition to Mars ended with Captain Sullivan and his crew losing their tempers and killing one quarter of a million Martians. Fortunately the Martians just laughed it off - "They were a buncha jack offs, anyways!" - but it wasn't exactly what NASA had envisioned for the first meeting between the Human Race and Extraterrestrial life.
"I didn't train for twenty five years for some fat little space creep to make jokes about going down on my Mom!" Sullivan declared at his Court Martial.
The Martians were perfectly willing to cooperate with humanity but only if we were willing to cheerfully put up with their relentless "kidding". But after the deaths of billions of people in the Holy Land Nuclear War of 2024 and then the Radioactive Crab Plague 0f 2026 in which half of the Earth's population were devoured by crabs the Men and Women of the Earth were in no mood to take a joke. The time had come for an American Leader with absolutely no sense of humor and as the 2032 Election approached Wil Forbis, Internet Billionaire And Savior Of Humanity ("How can a man not open his Heart and Mind to The Wisdom Of My Lord And Savior Jesus Christ after seeing trillions of radioactive crabs rise up from the sea and devour half of the Human Race?"), was looking more and more like that man.
Our Hero! A Plague Of Crabs devouring everything left behind from the Nuclear Holocaust and no one but Wil Forbis was calm, cool, and collected enough to FREEZE DRY all of those crustaceans so, not only did they stop eating everything and just sit there harmless and kind of comical looking, but now the Survivors - The Men, Women, And Children who had been entrusted with carrying the great civilization we had inherited into The Future - had a Guarenteed Supply of Nutritious Protein to sustain us for at least half a century! Who needs whatever they've got on Mars? We got CRAB! Yes, we were going to make it. We were going to be ALLRIGHT! Praise The Lord And Pass The Crabunition! Have A Crab And A Smile! What The World Needs Now Is Crab Sweet Crab! All You Need Is Crab!
But . . . To find out that, after all we'd been through with thermonuclear war and thermocrabular plague to top it off, those guys in NASA were still messing around with all their rocket ships and cutesy press conferences and wanted to go on with all that Walter Cronkite mess just like all that crab crap never happened? Where were all their brainiac technicians and media spokesmen when those crabs were . . . Hey! Here's a Good Question - How many NASA employees were eaten by crabs when everybody else on the planet was getting eaten by crabs? If there was anybody in the world in a one hundred percent crab proof bunker you just know it was the guy who knew how to land a space ship on Mars! Wholesale Death And Destruction and the whole time he was underground building a robot with fingernail trimmers on the ends of his fingers instead of fingernails! It was almost enough to bring back The Phone In Talk Radio Show! Outrage! Beyonce Knowles' Last Words - "Fuck THAT!" Amen, Sister!
BRAVO FORBIS! A man of such incredible mental energy that when he remembered he'd left his wallet in his other pants lightning bolts shot out of his eyes and scorched everything within three and a half miles, Wil Forbis had such strong feelings against human settlement on Mars the clouds in the sky above his head were arranged into the words 'NO HUMAN SETTLEMENT ON MARS' and he became so emotional when discussing the matter dozens of miniature Forbisi sprang out of his head and handed out pamphlets extolling the virtue of his ideas while dead bodies of great war heroes rose up from the grave encouraging their descendants to "Read that stuff, it's good shit!" Where would Humanity be without Wil Forbis? Nowhere worth building a highway to drive to, that much is certain, and when he decided to run for the Nation's Highest Office Ron Reagan Jr, The World's Leading Authority On Everything Under The Motherfucking Sun, was heard to say "IT'S A DONE DEAL!"
But then, from Out Of The Past . . .
"Decent People News has obtained emails from the early years of the twenty first century to and from Wil Forbis when he was the editor of a long forgotten web zine called 'Acid Logic'. Those who have read the emails say they present disturbing insight into the character of the man who could quite possibly be President of The United States . . . "
June 14, 2004 - From Wil Forbis to John Saleeby
How's this for a funny idea for an article - "The Tao Of Raping Girls, Cutting Their Legs Off, And Eating Their Tits"? You know, like "The Tao Of War" only about raping girls, cutting their legs off, and eating their tits instead of war. I'm laughing so hard just thinking about it I almost choked on the mouthful of tit I'm chewing.
June 14, 2004 - John Saleeby To Wil Forbis
Oh, very funny. Last night I was up praying for you until four AM and now this! Maybe I'll get better results if I convert to Catholicism. How about an article about "The Passion"? I saw it yesterday afternoon and I'm still crying!
June 15, 2004 - Wil Forbis To John Saleeby
"The Passion"? YOU FAG! You know what would be funny? A gay S and M version of that dumb movie. Write a gay S and M version of "The Passion" and I'll use it. You're such a queer that halfway through writing something like that you'll go nuts and an ostritch feather boa will grow out of your neck and start strangling little boys while you sing a Best Of "Thriller" medley. Yeah, write a gay S and M version of "The Passion" where Jesus grows an ostritch feather boa out of his neck and starts strangling little boys, shithead.

Hey, Retard - Since Terry Schiavo and The Pope died about the same time why don't we do a thing about how the first thing those two did once they got to Heaven was have sex with each other? Ha ha ha! And then the first thing Mitch Hedberg sees once he gets into Heaven is those two going at it right there in front of the Pearly Gates and he says "Uh, maybe I should go to Hell? I was a heroin addict, ya know."
The search for John Saleeby, the key to establishing the authenticity of the emails, lead to a tiny crab shell shack on top of a crab shell mountain in the tiny village of Crab Shell, New Zealand . . .
"I am The King Of Crab Shell! Wanna buy a crab shell motor scooter helmet? One Hundred Percent CRAB SHELL! I got a CERTIFICATE! Certificate's made outta crab shell, too - TASTEY!"
"So you are John Saleeby?"
"Useta be John Saleeby before . . . before . . . BEFORE THE CRABS CAME AND ATE MY HANDS OFF!!!"
"Aw, poor ol' guy ain't got no hands!"
"Used to be a professional piano player, too!"
"That's terrible!"
"Aw, I'm just kiddin'! GOTCHA!"
"Oh!"
"I love that gag!"
"So you're not John Saleeby?"
"I useta be!"
"You used to be?"
"Cause now I'm . . . "
The old man edged sideways into the shed for an instant.
He popped out of the shed with a pair of giant lobster claws on the ends of his arms.
" . . . JOHNNY LOBSTERS!!!"
"Johnny Lobsters?"
"Internationally Notorious Daredevil! Watch this!" he declared and dove off the top of the shed, slid down the mountain on a plastic strip greased with crab fat and landed into a bucket of choreographed cat fish.
"I OUGHTA BE IN PICTURES!!!"
A picnic table full of small children applauded as a large condor grabbed the waving claw man by the ears and carried him back to the top of the mountain.
"I usually sing 'White Wedding' for the fans while flying back up the mountain but that new condor squeezes my ears too hard, can't sing that song when I'm in pain. Gotta find a blues number, I dunno . . . " Saleeby reflected while loading some crab into a pipe and having a smoke. "What did you guys come here to talk to me about?"
"Uh, we're here to talk about these emails - "
"Oh, yeah - From Wil Forbis."
"So you are saying that these emails are authentic?"
"Well, sure they are! Anyway . . . Hey! Where ya going? I was going to make crab espresso!"
Wil Forbis was Toast. Toast that gets stuck in the Toaster so you have to try and get it out with a knife and your Mom goes "You're gonna ELECTROCUTE yaself!!" and you get crumbs all over the kitchen counter. Wil Forbis wasn't even Toast, he was Crumbs All Over The Kitchen Counter and that ain't exactly Drums Across The Mohawk.
But for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction and if the release of the Acid Logic emails caused people on Earth to reject Wil Forbis as their leader the Martians found them so entertaining that Forbis was asked to rule as their new Emperor, Krollnar having stepped down from the throne exclaiming "Damn, that guy is CRAZY! TOO MUCH!!" Of course, Forbis was too bummed out to take the job so NASA sent over that Johnny Lobsters guy and told em it was Forbis -
"Dig me, Martian Monsters! Here's my impression of Tim Conway in 'Million Dollar Homo', I mean 'Billion Dollar Hobo'! WHOA!"
Dennis Sullivan was elected President in 2032.

Trump: war on the climate, war on the working class

Trump's attacks on environmental protection prove once again that he's only on the side of the capitalists, never the working class
President Trump's first hundred days in office are proving true to form for the man who famously dismissed climate change as a Chinese hoax. He has signed an executive order to weaken the Clean Power Plan, proposed a budget slashing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s funding by a third, and appointed as EPA chief Scott Truitt, who has had $250,000 in donations from the oil and gas industry. Truitt is on the record as saying that the cause of climate change is 'far from settled.'
Anti-science
Along with this is a clear anti-science agenda. Trump's advisors have complained that climate science is 'politicised' and 'politically correct', but Trump's administration seems to want to reduce scientists to political servants. One of their first measures was to require EPA scientists to get approval from political appointees before publishing anything. At the same time, data held on US government sites about climate change effects, pollution and greenhouse gas emissions has begun quietly disappearing.
Trump wants everyone to believe that all this is for the benefit of ordinary people. Rather than wasting Americans' money on politically-correct environmental causes, he'll bring back jobs in coal. Except that even the coal industry doesn't think the new jobs promise is credible. The truth is that the only people who will benefit are corporations who won't have to pay for cleaning up their acts. The people who will suffer are those in working-class towns like Flint, Michigan, where the water has been undrinkable because of lead and other pollutants since 2014.
Building a genuinely green infrastructure would create millions of jobs, but that would mean public spending, not private profit. That's unthinkable under Trump. It's one more demonstration that he's only on the side of the capitalists, never the working class.

Home News Jill Kirby: Labour throws down the gauntlet to Tories on welfare reform
Jill Kirby: Labour throws down the gauntlet to Tories on welfare reform
By Jill Kirby
"Rewarding contribution was a key principle of the Beveridge Report. And it is a key intuition of the British people.
"But it is a principle that has been forgotten by governments of both parties."
Ed Miliband's speech yesterday shows he has grasped an essential principle for reform of our bloated welfare state.
Tories should not be in such a hurry to dismiss his ideas, which flow from a new IPPR report.
We know enough about current attitudes to welfare to realise that "something for nothing" benefits are not only cripplingly expensive, they are also unpopular with voters.
Whilst the coalition must be commended for improving work incentives and limiting handouts, it has failed to tackle the underlying problem of means-testing as the basis for welfare payments. Worse, the new universal credit system, despite its noble aims, will further erode the contributory principle.
The IPPR and Mr Miliband should therefore be congratulated on their attempts to change the welfare culture.
There is plenty to criticise in the IPPR report, not least its nanny state proposals for extending paternity leave and increasing childcare subsidies. But its innovative arguments for restructuring welfare to restore the contributory principle deserve real praise.
One of the key reasons why the cost of the welfarestate has soared is the fact that payments out are not linked to payments in.
Beveridge intended that his system would mimic mimic an insurance contract. By pooling risks and resources, the state would act as insurer, but would not discourage self-reliance.
Crucially, he believed payments should not be means-tested, because that discourages participants from working. As the IPPR recognises, this was not just about self-reliance, but social solidarity, and therefore makes sense to Left as much as Right on the political spectrum.
But Beveridge's ideal was not carried through, and nowadays contribution-based payments have all but disappeared.
As I explained in a report for Theos earlier this year, abandoning the contributory principle removed an important economic constraint. An insurance fund capable of paying out more than it receives cannot be financially sustainable.
So it is very refreshing to read the IPPR's radical proposal to reform National Insurance, creating an independent National Insurance Fund, of which contributors would become members.
With echoes of the Friendly Societies which preceded the welfare state, this fund would be used only to meet health and social security costs, including pensions – and members would be assured that payments in would be linked to payments out.
By way of some practical first steps, the ideas floated by Ed Miliband include the removal of jobseekers' allowance from under-21s, and an increase in unemployment support for those who lose their jobs after working (and paying NI) for a given period.
Removing from school leavers the option of drawing benefits before they have even joined the workforce, and enhancing the payments made to those who have worked and contributed, would send a powerful signal about self-reliance.
Labour should continue to develop the IPPR's ideas, and bring forward some concrete proposals for remodelling National Insurance along Beveridge principles.
The danger for the Conservatives is that they will be left to defend an expensive, unpopular means-tested monster of a welfare state against a Labour model of prudence and self-reliance. Don't laugh – it could happen.
