This year I will be moving all of our Guys Read and Inklings content here to this site. I know you might like having two separate blogs for our Reading Adventures, but it has gotten a little difficult to me to manage both sites. I will start tagging the posts with Guys Read and Inklings so you will be able to sort by club if you want to just find information on one reading club.
So bookmark this page and make it your habit to come here for new content and news.


The Annual Ministry Leaders' Dinner is your opportunity to grow your networks by gathering with others from Canberra and surrounds to hear the encouragement of the Scriptures. Our desire is to strengthen ministry leaders from Canberra and surrounds by gathering them for a dinner subsidised by Canberra Christian Conventions.
If you lead the kid's ministry team, the youth ministry team, the evangelism team, or the small group ministry then you are a ministry leader.
If you're a teaching elder, an assistant minister, a priest, an associate pastor, a youth minister, a rector, or a senior pastor, then you are a ministry leader.
You might not be paid, you might not be full time, but you do provide leadership in your local church and you would value the time to build relationships over dinner, with other ministry leaders in our city and our region.
Weston Neighbourhood Hall is located in Hilder Street, Weston.
Having trouble with the registration process or got a question about the event?


Here are some of coolest things we've seen, bought and are considering doing.
It's part of our "Endurance Insider" weekly update that goes out every Friday. Feel free to share and to sign up to be the first to know each week! Five quick bullet points that you can easily share on social media and be "in the know" on all things endurance!
Here we go…enjoy the blog edition of Endurance Insider! See you next Friday!
Get the inside scoop: While "the industry" is pervasive in our sport, there are still some incredible start up things that have emerged thanks to folks — like you — backing some great projects. Here are the Five Best Triathlon Products to Come From Kickstarter.
If you don't listen to your body, who will? Learning to listen to you body is a lesson most Type A endurance athletes begrudgingly accept after breaking themselves for the 97th time. Do yourself a favor and listen to smart folks like the author of this article: Strong like a Spartan – Heart Rate Variability.
The (cycling) game is changing as we type! Speaking of "the industry" you still can't ignore what the mainstream is all about. These days with Interbike shrinking, it's All Eyes on Sea Otter! for the latest and greatest cycling tech. Think of it like Coachella for cycling! Don't say we didn't tell you!
Just when you thought you were super badass… Want to SkyDive? Want to Run a Race? How about both?! The worlds first and only SkyDive Race! Start with a SkyDive then either a 10k, half marathon, full marathon or Ultra Marathon with a guaranteed PR for the first 2 miles!
No Pain, No Gain. Extra pain…potentially not your fault… Ever do a marathon? Ever feel like crap after the marathon? Ever not be able to walk properly for days after the marathon? It might not just be you…it's possible that post marathon sore-ness in your genes.

The Prophet Jesus In The Noble Qur'an
by Yishan Jufu October 7, 2005 April 8, 2019 1 Comment on The Prophet Jesus In The Noble Qur'anChristianity, Islam, Jesus
Last Updated on April 8, 2019
What does Allah (God) say about the Prophet `Eesa (Eesho/Jesus)(P) and his mother Maryam (Miriam/Mary) in His last Revelation to mankind, the Qur'an?
The following are selected Qur'anic verses dealing with `Eesa and Mary, may God's blessings be upon them:
"O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) A Messenger of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a Spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His Messengers. Say not "Trinity": desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is One Allah: glory be to Him: (far Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs." [4:171]
"And (remember) her who guarded her chastity: We breathed into her of Our Spirit, and We made her and her son a Sign for all peoples." [21:91]
"We gave Moses the Book and followed him up with a succession of Messengers; We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, Clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. Is it that whenever there comes to you a Messenger with what ye yourselves desire not, ye are puffed up with pride? Some ye called imposters, and others ye slay!" [2:87]
"Those Messengers We endowed with gifts, some above others: to one of them Allah spoke; others He raised to degrees (of honour); to Jesus, the son of Mary, We gave Clear (Signs), and strengthened him with the holy spirit. If Allah had so willed, succeeding generations would not have fought among each other, after Clear (Signs) had come to them but they (chose) to wrangle, some believing and others rejecting. If Allah had so willed, they would not have fought each other; but Allah fulfilleth His plan." [2:253]
"Then will Allah say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! recount My favour to thee and to thy mother. Behold! I strengthened thee with the holy spirit, so that thou didst speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught thee the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel. And behold! thou makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and thou breathest into it, and it becometh a bird by My leave, and thou healest those born blind, and the lepers, by My leave. And behold! thou bringest forth the dead by My leave. And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel from (violence to) thee when thou didst show them the Clear Signs, and the unbelievers among them said: This is nothing but evident magic.'" [5:110]
"And Allah will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel, And (appoint him) a messenger to the Children of Israel, (with this message): 'I have come to you, with a Sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah's leave: and I heal those born blind, and the lepers, and I quicken the dead, by Allah's leave; and I declare to you what ye eat, and what ye store in your houses. Surely therein is a Sign for you if ye did believe; (I have come to you), to attest the Law which was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was (before) forbidden to you; I have come to you with a Sign from your Lord. So fear Allah, and obey me.' " [3:48-50]
"And in their footsteps We sent Jesus the son of Mary, confirming the Law that had come before him: We sent him the Gospel: therein was guidance and light, and confirmation of the Law that had come before him: a guidance and an admonition to those who fear Allah." [5:46]
"Curses were pronounced on those among the Children of Israel who rejected Faith, by the tongue of David and of Jesus, the son of Mary, because they disobeyed and persisted in Excesses." [5:78]
"For Allah, He is my Lord and your Lord: so worship ye Him: this is a Straight Way." [43:64]
"And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: 'O Children of Israel! I am the Messenger of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving Glad Tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad.' But when he came to them with Clear Signs they said, 'This is evident sorcery!'" [61:6]
"O ye who believe! Be ye helpers of Allah: as said Jesus, the son of Mary, to the Disciples, "Who will be my helpers to (the work of) Allah?" Said the Disciples, "We are Allah's helpers!" Then a portion of the Children of Israel believed, and a portion disbelieved: but We gave power to those who believed against their enemies, and they became the ones that prevailed." [61:14]
"That they said (in boast), 'We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah'; but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not." [4:157]
"Behold! Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to myself and clear thee (of the falsehood) of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject Faith, to the Day of Resurrection: then shall ye all return unto Me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute." [3:55]
"Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise. And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgment he will be a witness against them." [4:158-159]
"In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary. Say: 'Who then hath the least power against Allah, if His Will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all, everyone that is on the earth? For to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. He createth what He pleaseth. For Allah hath power over all things.' " [5:17]
"They do blaspheme who say: 'Allah is Christ the son of Mary.' But said Christ: 'O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.' Whoever joins other gods with Allah, Allah will forbid him the Garden, and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrongdoers be no one to help." [5:72]
"Say: 'O People of the Book! exceed not in your religion the bounds (of what is proper), trespassing beyond the truth, nor follow the vain desires of people who went wrong in times gone by, who misled many, and strayed (themselves) from the even Way.'" [5:77]
"And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! didst thou say unto men, 'Worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah'?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, Thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, though I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden. "Never said I to them aught except what Thou didst command me to say, to wit, 'Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord'; and I was a witness over them whilst I dwelt amongst them; when thou didst take me up thou wast the Watcher over them, and Thou art a witness to all things." [5:116-117]
"Christ, the son of Mary, was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how Allah doth make His Signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!" [5:75]
"He was no more than a servant: We granted Our favour to him, and We made him an example to the Children of Israel." [43:59]
"Then, in their wake, We followed them up with (others of) Our Messengers: We sent after them Jesus the son of Mary, and bestowed on him the Gospel; and We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him Compassion and Mercy, but the Monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them: (We commanded) only the seeking for the Good Pleasure of Allah; but that they did not foster as they should have done. Yet We bestowed, on those among them who believed, their (due) reward, but many of them are rebellious transgressors." [57:27]
"That they rejected Faith; that they uttered against Mary a grave false charge;" [4:156]
"And Mary, the daughter of 'Imran, who guarded her chastity; and We breathed into (her body) of Our spirit; and she testified to the truth of the words of her Lord and of his Revelations, and was one of the devout (Servants)." [66:12]
"Say ye: "We believe in Allah, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) Prophets from their Lord: we make no difference between one and another of them: and we bow to Allah (in Islam)."" [2:136]
"Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth Thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus. The son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah;" [3:45]
"We have sent thee inspiration, as We sent it to Noah and the Messengers after him: We sent inspiration to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David We gave the Psalms." [4:163]
"He said: "I am indeed a servant of Allah: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet; "And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live: "(He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable; "So Peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)!" Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of Truth, about which they (vainly) dispute." [19:30-34]
God Almighty revealed to Muhammad, in the Qur'an, the truth about Al-Maseeh (Messiah) `Eesa Ibnu Maryam (Jesus, the Son of Mary)(P). The Qur'an acknowledges the Messiahship of `Eesa(P) and God's miracle of his virgin birth as a sign to the Israelites in order to bring back those Jews who deviated from the right path of God, the "lost sheep of Israel" as stated by Jesus(P).

Q: add new column with the summary of all previous values (python) I am very new to python and trying to complete an appointment for uni. I've already tried googling the issue (and there may already be a solution) but could not find a solution to my problem.
I have a dataframe with values and a timestamp. It looks like this:

created_at
delta

2020-01-01
1.45

2020-01-02
0.12

2020-01-03
1.01

...
...

I want to create a new column 'sum' which summarizes all the previous values, like this:

created_at
delta
sum

2020-01-01
1.45
1.45

2020-01-02
0.12
1.57

2020-01-03
1.01
2.58

...
...
...

I want to define a method that I can use on different files (the data is spread across multiple files).
I have tried this but it doesn't work
def sum_ (data_index):
    df_sum = delta_(data_index) #getting the data
    y = len(df_sum)
    for x in range(0,y):
        df_sum['sum'].iloc[[0]] = df_sum['delta'].iloc[[0]]
        df_sum['sum'].iloc[[x]] = df_sum['sum'].iloc[[x-1]] + df_sum['delta'].iloc[[x]]

    return df_sum

For any help, I am very thankful.
Kind regards

A: Try cumsum():
df['sum'] = df['delta'].cumsum()

A: Use cumsum simple example
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'x':[1,2,3,4,5]})
df['y'] = df['x'].cumsum()
print(df)

output
   x   y
0  1   1
1  2   3
2  3   6
3  4  10
4  5  15

Sports Massage Team Completes 18 Years
The Greater Long Island Running Club Sports Massage Team will complete 18 years as the only group of its kind on Long Island, New York. The team was formed in October 1991 by Team Coordinator Alan End, a New York state massage therapist, soon after graduating from the Swedish Institute.
"As a competitive runner since 1980, I felt there was a need for post-race massage at local running events," says End. "As a club board member, I petitioned the other members and asked that the team be paid for their services. When the board approved, I began recruiting qualified members. One of them, Tom Wissman, has been with us since the beginning."
The team, which currently has 10 members, has participated in events ranging from 5Ks to triathlons. This year, the team has been or will be at the King Park 15k, Aspire 10k, Runday 5K, Long Island Women's Championship, Police Appreciation Run, Runners Edge-TOBAY Triathlon, Oysterfest 5k and Ho Ho Ho Holday Run. Massage therapists in the area who are interested in joining the team can contact End at www.glirc.org or (516) 433-8663.
The photo above was taken Aug. 30, at the 22nd Annual Runners Edge-TOBAY Triathlon, Long Island's largest triathlon with 1,600 participants. Alan End is in the foreground.

R. Kelly hit with 11 new sex charges in Illinois
Prosecutors in Illinois have filed 11 new sex charges against embattled R&B star R. Kelly.
The I Believe I Can Fly singer has already pleaded not guilty to 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse involving four victims, three of whom were underage at the time of the alleged encounters, and on Thursday (30May19), his legal woes mounted as authorities announced new charges against the 52 year old.
He now stands accused of four counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault, two of criminal sexual assault by force, two of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, and three of aggravated criminal sexual abuse against a victim between the ages of 13 to 16.
All are said to involve the same victim dating back to an incident in January, 2010, although it's not clear if the female is also linked to the indictment filed against Kelly earlier this year (19).
Some of the latest charges carry a mandatory sentence of six to 30 years in prison, according to The Chicago Sun-Times.
Kelly's attorney, Steve Greenberg, has yet to read through the court documents, but he told the publication, "We'll see what the charges are, and we'll proceed accordingly.
"I know this much: It's old. They're allegations from years ago."
The news emerges days after reports suggested a number of Kelly's accusers were due to testify about his alleged sexual misconduct before a grand jury in Chicago.
He was previously acquitted on child pornography charges in 2008.
It has been a terrible year for Kelly so far - he was the subject of damning TV docu-series Surviving R. Kelly, which detailed the sex assault allegations mounting up against him, while he also spent three days behind bars in March after skipping a court deadline to settle his debts with ex-wife Andrea Kelly, who claimed she was owed more than $160,000 (£127,000) to help care for their three children.

George T. Stagg 2012 Tasting Notes and Ratings.
The nose has rich, woody bourbon goodness like only Stagg can have. The palate starts off quite tannic but then moves to candy and wood with a dash of pepper; the acid returns for late palate and the finish with a touch of mildew. A few drops of water brings out a chocolate milk like sweetness but also makes it lose a shocking amount of the woody notes which are reduced to a faint char in the late palate, making it one dimensional.
This is very good bourbon, but the last couple of Stagg releases haven't been as transcendent as the earlier ones.
N: Familiar Stagg nose - tons of caramel and a good bit of wood with a very heavy dose of cinnamon on top. Black cherries, some toffee.
P: Rich mouthfeel, fairly caramel-heavy with a touch of corn sweetness. Seasoned wood, cinnamon and chili oil. Plenty of heat!
F: Black cherries and black tea lead, wood right behind. Quite woody and a touch tannic. Caramel and corn. Lasts and lasts.
Sweeter than some previous Staggs with lots of caramel, but an unexpected tannic element this year. Good but not as gloriously complex as in the past. Water, unlike the past, does this no favors at all.
Nose is piquant and excellent. Caramel corn and toasted wood. Buttery toffee. Damn that's just awesome!
Palate is great, yet not as exciting as nose advertised. Lacking the depth and character implied. But not in a terrible way, just not in a fully-delivered way. Very caramelly. I have a bottle of 2009 Stagg open, and head-to-head, this one just lacks the instensity and sweetness of the other.
n: Excellent. Herb garden in a leather store.
p: Hot but aweseme. The complexity seems to dance around between bourbon flavors. Vanilla ice cream on fresh leather. Really, most of these notes will reflect a typical bourbon. This one just does it well.

Is This The Time To Buy Sodastream International Ltd (SODA)?
Published on February 6, 2013 at 12:08 pm by The Motley Fool in News
Sodastream International Ltd (NASDAQ:SODA) has, again, gained a lot of attention after CBS banned its Super Bowl ad campaign. According to CBS, the company's ad was directly attacking two of the biggest names in the soft-drink industry, PepsiCo, Inc. (NYSE:PEP) and The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO). SodaStream does have a backup ad campaign, and will look for another big opportunity to air its original ad. In the meantime, competition between the three companies is as fierce as ever, and investors scanning the soda space are watching closely to see which of these soft-drink players provides the best opportunity.
Why SodaStream is a Good Buy
For decades, SodaStream has been successful in Europe, with Sweden being one of its strongest markets. Since its entry into the U.S market, its numbers have been looking good, with different opinions on whether the stock is a buy or a sell.
One of the product's major selling points is its eco-friendliness. SodaStream lets users make their own sparkling water and soda, directly from tap water. This "razor and blades" model has gained a lot of popularity in Europe, as the company sells both soda makers and syrups or flavorings. Instead of buying cans and bottles regularly, users need the soda maker, which includes a reusable bottle for carbonated drinks.
Research shows that more than 60% of people like to go for environmentally friendly products. That suggests that SodaStream can be a huge success, since sodas are a part of most people's daily lives. Pepsi and Coca-Cola have dominated the global soda market for decades with a variety of different products; however, their customers throw out thousands of cans and bottles every day.
Secondly, sodas created using the SodaStream machine are more nutritious, since they have less sugar and fewer calories. A lot of people might not be aware of this, but once the company's ad campaign goes live, a lot of people might think about switching to personal soda makers.
Another reason to buy SodaStream stock instead of buying Pepsi or Coke is that SodaStream's shares look extremely cheap compared to their growth potential. The last earnings report showed that the company's revenue increased by nearly 50%, and earnings per share rose by 66.7%. Pepsi and Coke both trade at or near their true valuations, and their expected future growth looks weak, with Coke doing slightly better than Pepsi.
SodaStream doesn't only earn money from the sales of its soda makers; it also maintains revenue from sales of CO2 canisters and syrups. This helps SodaStream maintain a high gross margin, close to Pepsi and Coke.

People who subscribe to knowledge and especially young students look down upon Fiqh-matters and especially the books of the Madhâhib. Their argument is that they do not consist of evidence. They even look down upon the Ijtihâd of the Imams in this matter. What do you advise in terms of this and the respect for the Imams of the Madhâhib and the importance of the Madhâhib. There are people today who look down upon them, criticize them and say that they are freed from the Madhâhib and that they take directly from the Qur'ân and Sunnah.
The more time passes, the more the knowledge disappears. It has also been reported that by the end of time, few scholars will exist and many readers [will exist]. Many readers who lack understanding will exist.
It is wrong to ignore the Fiqh-books. Fiqh is the richness of this Ummah. It is a great richness. However, that does not mean that we take everything that is in them to heart. We filter (I.e. right from mistakes). The one who has the capacity filters. He takes that which is strongest according to the evidence. We said that there are four types of people; an absolute Mujtahid, a Mujtahid within his Madhhab who considers what opinion is the correct one, one who follows blindly and a layman. This fiqh is, as said, a great richness in the hands of the scholars. They study it and take help from it in order to understand the Qur'ân and Sunnah. They take its verdicts and the statements of the Imams that agree with the evidence and leave that which contradicts the evidence.
This is a blind following in necessity. It is OBLIGATORY to blindly follow in necessity. It is prohibited to blindly follow in the case of capability. It is forbidden for the one who is able to make Ijtihâd to blindly follow. In necessity, it is obligatory to blindly follow. It is not fully prohibited to blindly follow and neither is it fully allowed to blindly follow. The matter is thusly detailed. We do not say that you should take to heart everything that exists in Fiqh. We say that you should filter and follow that which is based on evidence. They are after all more knowledgeable than you about proving and the extraction of rulings. You have nothing to come with. You should rely on them and the words of the Fuqahâ' and look to their evidence. If you are able to consider, do so. If you are not able to, you follow that which is (written) there even if you do not know of the evidence. For this is a necessity. This has to be understood. There are people who fight the Madhâhib today. Where should the people go? Should they deviate? There is one who has authored a book by the name "Islâm without Madhâhib". What without Madhâhib? Where should the people go then? Should they go to the ignoramuses? This is a great problem.

A haunting, beautiful rendition of a classic still relevant today

GISELLE ★★★★
The Australian Ballet, State Theatre, until September 8
There is a moment in the second act of Giselle where — in the far gloomy distance of a graveyard — shrouded figures rise. These are the wilis, the ghosts of young women who have died of broken hearts and now take their revenge out on men who wander into their forest. The fearsome sight of an army of these women, gliding elegantly into formation at the cue of their queen, Myrtha (Amanda McGuigan), is stunning. She is merciless and defiant as she doles out the sentences: forcing the men to dance to their deaths. Only Albrecht is saved from this fate, and only then at the mercy of Giselle, the woman he betrayed.
Giselle is an important period piece in the classical ballet canon and displays many of the elements that fascinated creators of mid-19th century Romantic ballet. The ballet opens in a cheerful village where Giselle (Lana Jones) and Count Albrecht (Adam Bull) commit their love to one another through their folk dances and charming duets. Act II shifts to an exploration of the supernatural world, characterised by its sustained and almost weightless movement. This shift between worlds is a crucial part of Giselle, and the change in moods is reflected in the performance of the titular character. Jones is a fine Giselle, drawing out the sweet, shy, peasant girl who eventually descends into madness upon learning that Albrecht is engaged to another woman.
This version of Giselle was created for the company in the late 1980s by then artistic director Maina Gielgud. It has been carefully honed by the company over many years of performances. The relationship between Jones and Bull onstage feels fresh and natural, and there is a lot of texture in the way that even the supporting characters of peasants, Giselle's mother (Lisa Bolte), and her friends are drawn. Peter Farmer's set and costume design reflects the pages of a storybook — from a few eras past. It is always a pleasure to see a rendition of a traditional ballet done well, and to see the wilis rise again.

I've been trying out the IntelliContact email sending service of late and the thing that stands out the most is how simple the service is for anyone to figure out and use. Now I don't mean that it lacks power, it just has a great user interface. I tested this theory out on a number of folks who are not what I would call early adopters and they agreed.
Ryan's story is a very interesting one although this is his third or fourth successful venture he clocks in at a mere 22 years of age. Companies large and small are staring to take note of IntelliContact and future offerings promise to make this service a very comprehensive communications tool.
If they keep this simple but effective approach I think you will hear even more about them.


This such a non starter. When one looks at the minimum wage in real terms it is not even close to the levels from 60's to early 80's. It is not keeping pace with inflation or productivity, which means the drag keeps getting less and less. Lot bigger fish to fry, such as reforming education.
In 1960 minimum wage was $5.30 in 1996 dollars. In 2010 when the current minimum wage changed from $6.55 to $7.25, minimum wage was $5.30 in 1996. So actually it is the same. Simply because Obama chose to inflate the dollar so that $7.25 in 2012 dollars is worth $6.83 in 2010 dollars, does not mean we need to raise minimum wage. It means we need to stop run away inflation.
Awh but then the government can't manipulate the economy as much ... So that'll never fly.
Good luck, but I doubt that this'll work out.
Couple the minimum wage with a full employment program. Raise the minimum wage to $20 and the program's wage to $10.
Are you joking right now? You know that a wage of $20 an hour is pretty good salary, for a college graduate, never mind some high school dropout looking for an entry level job.
Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! Minimum wage does not increase wages, it increases the requirements needed to get hired.
You are not reading the chart you posted right.
Your chart uses 1996 as the base line for the value of the dollar. In terms of 1996 dollars the minimum wage is as follows.
Since 1984 it has not been over $5.00 except 3 times.
Like I said a non-starter. There are just not many jobs where the market rate to fill labor is below today's minimum wage.
If anybody needs me ill be over in the "online petitions like these never ever ever ever ever actually get taken seriously and thus its a completely useless effort" corner.
The minimum wage in England is equal to about $18 and equal to about $21 in Denmark.
I would also be in favor of increasing the minimum wage for those with degrees.
I'm guessing you completely missed the part that wasn't bolded.
Yes I read it. Did you?
That is 4 times since 1985 (the arbitrary number you chose as a reference point), not 3 times. And over the last 57 years (the whole chart) it was over $5 33 times (58% of the time).
I am quite perplexed as to why you arbitrary chose $5 as a reference point, or 1984 for that matter?
Since the chart began in 1955, with a minimum wage of $4.39 in 1996 dollars, wouldn't the objective reference point be 1955 with a wage of $4.39?
Of course if we used that as a reference, than minimum wage would only fall below $4.39, 5 times since 1955.
The raise in minimum wage in 2007 contributed to the late 2000 recession.
Minimum wages are actually an interesting issue, one that I gave changed opinions on. I signed the petition regardless as I know it won't get anywhere, and it would be interesting if it did (good time to study its effect).
I recently am in favor of the minimum wage due to recent academic studies. For example, increases in the minimum wage correlates with more consumer spending and higher wages. Assuming the minimum wage increases one dollar, the economy would grow by 60 billion dollars (Daniel Aaronson, Sumit Agarwal, and Eric French 2007; Kai Filion 2009). Cross sectional studies also make interesting conclusions. For example, states with higher minimum wages then the federal have faster job growth then those with lower (or even) minimum wages to those with the federal level (Fiscal Policy Institute 2006). As Fillon 2009 notes, the correlation holds true even in times of recession. Living wages also decrease employee turnover, saving the employer on training costs (Michael Reich, Peter Hall, Ken Jacobs 2003).
Other studies show other benefits. For example, a decrease of those receiving welfare has been shown to occur. Studies finding welfare increases generally fail to control for local market conditions. A 50% increase in the minimum wage leads to a 1.3% decrease in welfare participation (Turner 1999).
If you have coubter evidence, please refute the growing body of evidence in favor of minimum wage laws.
Minimum wages are actually an interesting issue, one that I have changed opinions on. I signed the petition regardless as I know it won't get anywhere, and it would be interesting if it did (good time to study its effect).
If you have counter evidence, please refute the growing body of evidence in favor of minimum wage laws.
I fixed a few typos; I'm on a phone, so it's hard to type accurately.
can you please provide a link to those studies. Not a blog, I want a link to the actual study so I can read it. They sound like bogus assertions, and I would like to see the actual study to better understand it. Also correlation does not equal causation.
I think that's all of what I cited.
Minimum wages gives employees more money to spend and they spend more, which is good for businesses and employees. Also, it avoids exploiting people.
Minimum wages gives employees more money to spend and they spend more, which is good for businesses and employees.
Not necessarily. If they have more spending money, but the bill causes prices to increase by a similar or greater amount than the new wages, then the effect is negligible.
Businesses pass costs of production onto consumers. Increasing wages will simply increase the cost of production.
Also, it avoids exploiting people.
How is it exploitation when a person agrees to the wage being paid for the services rendered? People can voluntarily sell their own time and labor for whatever price they can get, much like a commodity being sold.
Depends what the economic conditions are. In the long run, it will cause prices to increase, but in the short run prices are sticky (resilient to change) if there is a recession.
True. But then there is another effect. Since wages costs are going up and the prices are sticky in the short run, then it would negatively affect income. Unless the increase in wages could increase spending in the short term that much, but I doubt it has much of an effect.
How would it negatively affect income? The minimum wage is causing wages to increase.
The minimum wage could increase spending, since money is going to poorer people, who have a lower marginal prosperity to consume. They're more likely to spend the money, thus boasting the economy.
Profits would have been a better word. I was talking from a business perspective.
Judging from statistics from the Department of Labor, it seems like it would not increase spending that much. 3.8 million workers make mininum wage, with 2.2 making less than minimum. These people tend to be servers, who would likely make more than the federal hourly minimum when tips are factored in, including tip income which in not reported.
Also, most of the people who have these jobs tend to be either young or part time workers. While I can't find a statistics that shows how much they spend, I can't imagine it being that much.
Also, many business that hire minimum tend to cut hours or fire minimum wage workers altogether when minimum wages increase so they can earn the same amount of profit. This would also lessen, if not eliminate the impact.
Yes, it would effect profits. However many corporations make a ton of profits plus it could be balanced through the increase in spending that occurs with people making more money.
I was really judging theoretical and was just playing devil's advocate. It depends on how much you raise minimum wage to see whose effected. Maybe only a few are actually on minimum wage, but there's probably a lot more working only pennies more then minimum wage.
Also, in terms of firing workers, I don't think that's necessarily the case because for most places, the marginal productivity of workers increases dramatically and then decreases dramatically as well. For example, retail stores only hire enough workers so that they can restock shelves and ring people out. Perhaps If you have a little bit more workers, the extra workers could be used to help out customers or make the lines shorter. But overall, the effect of adding new workers after a certain point isn't worth it. Instead, the more likely alternative is that businesses that can't afford the minimum wage will go bankrupt.
You still don't see the trend? Let me put it this way. From 1952 when the data starts to 1982 the average min wage = $6.03. From 1982 to present it averages $4.70. It is quite simple in that you are picking a fight where there is no fight needed. The minimum wage is currently at a level extremely historically low. Even with an increase it would still be historically low.
These are jobs are are slowly but surely being automated because they don't require much skill. What I am saying is that you are going after a small fish here when there are much bigger fish to fry.
PS. The 70 cent increase of the Fed min wage from $5.15 to $5.85 from 2006 to 2007 was so small compared to the credit cycle bust that caused the global financial crisis and greatest recession since the great depression. So small that it is absurd to even throw it in the pot of causal factors.
with inflation or productivity, which means the drag keeps getting less and less. Lot bigger fish to fry, such as reforming education.
In 2011, 3.04% of all employees make minimum wage. Of those, 27.7% have less than a high school diploma, and 53.2% are less than 25 years of age (29.3% under 20).
I assume most, if not all, of the people paid below minimum wage are tipped employees (2.2 million of 3.8 million), and to my knowledge, that means there is a tip credit, so pay is less than minimum wage (and tips/commissions are not included in these figures) unless tips/commissions are too low.
In 2009, the year it increased from $6.55 to $7.25, min. wage workers represented 2.89%.
In 2007, the first year in many the wage went up from $5.15 to $5.85, min. wage workers represented 1.31% of the labor force.
You still don't see the trend? Let me put it this way. From 1952 when the data starts to 1982 the average min wage = $6.03.
Again your math is wrong. First off the data starts in 1955. Furthermore the mean is $5.34. The mean min wage since 1984 (your arbitrary reference point) is $4.68. The mode (most common wage) since 1955 is $4.39, while the mode since 1984 is $5.06. The median (middle wage) since 1955 is $5.25, and the median since 1984 is $4.69. The current wage is $4.97 in 1996 dollars, which is not low, but rather average.
In 2006 it was $4.04, and after the minimum wage was raised in May of 2007, than the recession hit in December of 2007. It continued to raise, due to inflation, until 2009, when the recession finally ended. A good point to be at would be $4.04 in 1996 dollars. Or at least $4.38 in 1996 dollars.
From 1982 to present it averages $4.70.
$4.68.... Go back to grade school.
It is quite simple in that you are picking a fight where there is no fight needed. The minimum wage is currently at a level extremely historically low.
Even with an increase it would still be historically low.
But minimum wage effects higher wages. If minimum wage is $7 an hour and more senior employees are earning $8 an hour, and min wage was raised to $8 per hour, the $8 an hour would raise to $9 an hour. It has a domino effect. Older employees who previously earned raises would end up working for the same wages as entry level jobs. Minimum wage thus effects the higher wages as well. If you increase the wage and thus the KSA requirements for entry level jobs, you increase the wage and KSA requirements of jobs higher up on the ladder. If min wage is what managers use to earn, you would need to have the KSAs of previous managers in order to obtain an entry level job,and new managers would require an even higher standard of KSAs.
You opinion based on your bad math skills... try using a calculator, or maybe Microsoft excel.

Forests ecosystems cover roughly 30% of the global land area, store approximately three times more carbon than the earths' atmosphere, are hotspots of biodiversity, and provided a multitude of ecosystem services to society. However, many of these crucial ecosystem functions and services are severely threatened by anthropogenic climate change. Understanding the trajectories and sensitivities of forest ecosystems is thus crucial for sustaining the planets life-support system, and for a transformation towards a sustainable, carbon-neutral society.
Forest ecosystems are complex adaptive systems. Their dynamics emerges from nonlinear interactions between adaptive biotic agents (i.e., individual trees) and their relationship with a spatially and temporally heterogeneous abiotic environment. Processes at multiple scales, from organs of individual trees (e.g., photosynthesis) to the landscape (e.g., wildfire) interact to form diverse and resilient ecosystems. In order to assess how climate change - which affects a variety of these processes - will impact ecosystems, and to sustainably manage these complex systems, we need to consider these multiple interactions among processes and scales. To that end we have developed a simulation model of forest ecosystem dynamics at landscape scales, the individual-based forest landscape and disturbance model iLand.
iLand explicit simulates the principal adaptive agents in forest ecosystems, i.e., individual trees, over large areas. This scalability is achieved by (i) employing a pattern-based rendering of ecological field theory to efficiently model spatially explicit resource availability at the landscape scale, and by (ii) integrating local resource competition and physiological resource use via a hierarchical multi-scale framework.
iLand is conceived as a process-based model of the primary demographic processes in forest ecosystems, i.e. growth, mortality, and regeneration of trees. Seed dispersal in the landscape is simulated spatially explicit, and, in conjunction with a phenology-based establishment model, determines tree regeneration and species distribution. Productivity is derived at stand-level by means of a light-use efficiency approach, and downscaled to individuals via local light availability, accounting for adaptive behavior of trees in response to their environment. Individual tree mortality is modeled based on carbon starvation, while spatially explicit modules of disturbance agents (wind, bark beetles, wildfire) can be deployed to simulate large-scale mortality events. The model thus harnesses approaches from community ecology, ecosystem ecology, and landscape ecology to address current questions of ecosystem stewardship and resilience. In addition, iLand integrates an agent-based model of forest management in order to dynamically address the interactions between forests and managers as coupled human and natural systems.
iLand is a general model of forest ecosystem dynamics. It can be employed to elucidate a wide variety of ecology- and management-related questions. Major applications of the model are:
The resilience of ecosystems to disturbances arises from their multi-scale diversity in agents and responses, an aspect that is well represented in iLand. The model can thus contribute crucial capacities to studies aiming to understand and foster the resilience of ecosystem functions and services under intensifying disturbance regimes.
Climate change adaptation is a major concern in forest management currently, in order to ensure a sustainable provisioning of crucial ecosystem services also under a drastically changing environment. With its process-based foundation and agent-based management engine iLand offers a robust framework for scenario analysis towards developing climate-smart management systems for the future.
iLand keeps track of above- and belowground carbon stocks in forest ecosystems. It can thus be employed to study questions of forest C storage and exchange, e.g. in the context of the increasingly important question of climate change mitigation through forest management.
Not only does iLand predict biological diversity in space and time explicitly, e.g. with regard to tree species richness and diversity, it also simulates many diversity measures highly indicative for other guilds of organisms (e.g., standing and downed deadwood, vertical canopy structure). iLand can thus be a powerful tool in the context of questions relating to the conservation of biodiversity, and for elucidating the functional roles of diversity.

The Office of Interprofessional Collaborative Education and Teamwork (ICE-T) at Penn State College of Medicine offers a variety of programs to support faculty and staff facilitators involved in interprofessional education.
Whether new to academic medicine or an experienced clinicians, all faculty and staff benefit from some faculty development before leading an interprofessional education activity. In these events, the Office of Interprofessional Collaborative Education and Teamwork (ICE-T) strives to create an environment where respect is demonstrated at all times. Establishing a safe space starts with the facilitator.
To support faculty and staff facilitators, ICE-T offers a number of different opportunities, depending on the activity that will be facilitated.
In monthly events, the ICE-T team provides access to case materials and online video modules explaining the use of the assessment rubric for new facilitators.
Annual events include a one-hour training the week before an interprofessional education (IPE) activity. This training is recorded and posted on Mediasite for those unable to attend.
For example, facilitator training for the fall event introduces IPE competencies to facilitators and outlines the activities and expectations for students, as well as the responsibilities of the facilitator.
In addition, faculty and staff view video modules to help further facilitation skills by showing examples of both incorrect and ideal facilitation. A variety of questioning styles are presented as examples.
This training also uses video modules to demonstrate desirable and undesirable interprofessional behaviors on the part of students, which provides faculty with opportunities to practice applying the assessment procedures and providing feedback to learners.
Facilitator training for the Simulation IPE begins with a hands-on team activity on IPE competencies, followed by an overview of what facilitators should expect from the students during the simulation.
The Simulation Center staff use interactive methods to demonstrate creative ways to ask insightful questions and debrief learners, which faculty/staff participants practice.
The main facilitator training opportunity offered at Penn State College of Medicine is "Getting Started: An Interprofessional Education/Practice Workshop for Health Care Educators and Providers." This two-day workshop provides tools for participants who wish to design and implement their own interprofessional education project.
When applying to attend the workshop, participants must submit a project proposal as a team with other interprofessional partners. Participants are encouraged to attend the workshop as a team.
Describe IPE theory, tenets, activities and assessments across the learning continuum (from academia to practice).
Champion cultural changes within educational and health systems.
Initiate plans to lead and sustain meaningful IPE and collaborative practice.
Apply best practices for IPE activity development to a specified project plan.
Past participants have included nurses, physicians, attorneys, psychologists, pharmacologists and educators.
The Interprofessional Education Incentive Award provides an opportunity for Penn State and Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center to enhance patient care experiences by developing and implementing new initiatives that bring learners from different disciplines together to work and learn collaboratively.
Funds are for projects of one year in duration. Applicants must agree to submit an interim and final progress report for their project, present a poster at EdVenture and contribute a project template to the "IPE toolbox" to disseminate their activity and outcomes to others.
The next call for award will be issued in 2019.
All Together Better Health is a global interprofessional education and collaborative practice conference under the direction of The World Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice Coordinating Committee. The conference provides an opportunity for participants to discuss ideas and devise and test strategies that will improve the health and well-being of individuals, families and communities across the world.
Collaborating Across Borders is a North American interprofessional health care education and collaborative practice conference. It links educators, researchers, practitioners, students and patients from Canada and the United States in essential discussions around interprofessional health care education, practice, leadership and policy in North America. The conference series is held biennially and travels between the United States and Canada.
IPEC works in collaboration with academic institutions to promote, encourage and support efforts to prepare future health professionals so that they enter the workforce ready to help ensure the health of individuals and populations. Fall and spring institutes are offered annually.
Nexus Summit brings together a growing community of health professionals and educators who are committed to a future in healthcare where interprofessional teams improve the health of individuals and the communities where they live. Attendees discover new models, question existing boundaries and are challenged to think in creative ways.
The Train-the-Trainer Interprofessional Faculty Development Program develops collaborative teams to transform health care education and practice with an in-person experiential education program and one year of consulting. It is an immersive leadership training program for teams who want to learn how to design and implement effective interprofessional education and collaborative practice projects at their institutions.
The American Interprofessional Health Collaborative aims to rebuild capacity for interprofessional education and care in the United States through an inclusive, evidence-based and open exchange of information and resources. It offers a webinar series for leaders committed to systems transformation through interprofessional collaboration.
The Centre for the Advancement of Interprofessional Education is a UK-based organization that promotes health and well-being and improves the health and social care of the public by advancing interprofessional education. It provides resources, including reports, articles, online education and presentations.
The Interprofessional Education Collaborative develops core competencies for interprofessional collaborative practice as well as learning modules for health professional education.
The center aims to improve interprofessional care through patient-centered education. It offers resources such as interactive workshops, national and international reports, videos and curricula.
This public-private partnership provides leadership, evidence and resources to guide the nation on the use of interprofessional education and collaborative practice as a way to enhance the experience of health care, improve population health and reduce the overall cost of care. The center aligns interprofessional education and collaborative practice with transforming health care delivery.
