What is the Gold Standard?

Image
  By   NICK LIOUDIS  Updated Sep 24, 2020 The gold standard is a monetary system where a country's currency or paper money has a value directly linked to gold. With the  gold standard , countries agreed to convert paper money into a fixed amount of gold. A country that uses the gold standard sets a fixed price for gold and buys and sells gold at that price. That fixed price is used to determine the value of the currency. For example, if the U.S. sets the  price of gold  at $500 an ounce, the value of the dollar would be 1/500th of an ounce of gold.

China’s Massive Belt and Road Initiative

Image
China’s colossal infrastructure investments may usher in a new era of trade and growth for economies in Asia and beyond. But skeptics worry that China is laying a debt trap for borrowing governments. WRITTEN BY Andrew Chatzky and James McBride UPDATED Last updated January 28, 2020 Summary The Belt and Road Initiative, reminiscent of the Silk Road, is a massive infrastructure project that would stretch from East Asia to Europe. Some analysts see the project as a disturbing expansion of Chinese power, and the United States has struggled to offer a competing vision. The initiative has stoked opposition in some countries involved in Belt and Road that have taken on high levels of debt.

WHERE'S HOWARD CUNNINGHAM WHEN WE NEED HIM?

Image
So what the hell is going on in the city we knew and loved as kids, and where the iconic Liberal produced TV show "Happy Days" portrayed Kenosha, Wisconsin as the quintessential example of 1950's culture in the United States?  Were we being lied to all those years?  How would Howard, Ritchie, Marion, Joanie, Al, Arnold, Chachi, Ralph, Potsie, the The Fonz deal with this situation?   It seems like most of the shootings of unarmed Black Americans by police occurs in Northern and traditionally Democrat controlled Blue states. The South, which is often demonized by Leftist media as poison to blacks (and where all those Confederate statues are/were located), has hardly any. That is all... and please, try the fish.

ITEM: Wedding Photographer Sues Louisville Over Law Forcing Her To Write In Favor Of Same-Sex Marriage MARLO SAFI  CULTURE REPORTER August 07, 20206:07 PM ET A wedding photographer has filed a lawsuit challenging a Louisville, Kentucky, law that forces her to promote same-sex wedding ceremonies against her religious beliefs. Alliance Defending Freedom is representing Chelsey Nelson against the Louisville-Jefferson County Metro Government in a lawsuit, which forbids her from publicly explaining to clients and potential clients through her studio’s sites the religious reasons why she only celebrates wedding ceremonies between one man and one woman. Chelsey Nelson. Courtesy of Alliance Defending Freedom Because she photographs and blogs about weddings between one man and one woman, under Metro Ordinance 92.05, Nelson would also have to promote same-sex weddings to avoid being accused of discriminating between the two. Communicating her beliefs on marriage would indicate t

WHEN SUPER MARIO 3 RULED THE EARTH

Image
I've recently ventured into retro-gaming and rigged my Nvidia Shield TV Android device with some game emulators using RetroArch ... notably the Nintendo N64, Super Nintendo, Nintendo NES, PlayStation 1, Sega Mega Drive and various arcade games; and what game emulator setup would be complete without Super Mario 3??? Below is a bit of some behind the scenes history, followed by a play-through video of one of the most successful video game titles ever created. An honorable mention goes out to Super Tux. Super Tux is a very exceptional clone of Super Mario 3 employing the character "Tux" (mascot of Linux) as the protagonist in the story.  Functionally, it's on par with SM3 and also has some very clever theme music interwoven though the different levels. Gameplay in Super Tux is similar to that of  Super Mario 3   with the major differences being Tux can't fly like Mario, nor has a swatting tail. :(  But, Tux can jump under bonus blocks marked with question marks to

LED ZEPPELIN - THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME CONCERT, LIVE AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, 1973

Image
The Song Remains the Same is a 1976 concert film featuring the English rock band Led Zeppelin. The filming took place during the summer of 1973, during three nights of concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City, with additional footage shot at Shepperton Studios. The film premiered three years later on 20 October 1976 at Cinema I in New York, on 22 October 1976 at Fox Wilshire in Los Angeles, and at Warner West End Cinema in London two weeks later. It was accompanied by a soundtrack album of the same name. The DVD of the film was released on 31 December 1999. Promotional materials stated that the film was "the band's special way of giving their millions of friends what they had been clamouring for – a personal and private tour of Led Zeppelin. For the first time the world has a front row seat on Led Zeppelin." A reissue of the film, including previously unreleased footage as a bonus, was released on DVD, HD DVD, and Blu-ray Disc on 20 November 2007, by Warner Home

DAVID LEE ROTH Shares Original Artwork Inspired By Coronavirus Crisis

Image
June 15, 2020 David Lee Roth   has shared several pieces of original artwork which were inspired by the COVID-19 crisis. For the past two months, the  VAN HALEN  singer has been posting paintings on his  Twitter  account that reflect the times and channel the mass anxiety around the novel coronavirus. You can find them below. This is not the first time  Roth  has shared some of his visual art with the public. Back in 2009,  Roth  released dozens of his own drawings and artwork, which he called at the time "authentic originals and incompetent imitations." He offered them up as "an official answer to the question 'what do you do in your spare time?'" According to the  Van Halen News Desk , the  VAN HALEN  frontman always been into art. Throughout his whole life, while touring the world, you could find him doodling on just about anything — setlists, tour riders, female body parts, etc. He was always a major part of the visual side of  VAN HALEN , and always tri

THREE NO-SEW DIY FACE MASKS DESIGNS

Image
I made the middle version this morning and it came out pretty good. I'd recommend the middle version for a large adult head, using large opening "thick" elastic hair bands and also pre-stretching the hair bands around a soup can before using. The bottom mask is good for a child or smaller adult heads. Hair bands do come in different styles and sizes, so check before buying. Also I recommend washing the bananas first with fabric softener, and drying them in a dryer to shrink the fibers, then ironing them before making the face mask. One could cut out a filter from a high efficiency A/C filter or vacuum cleaner bag, and stick it inside the mask for extra filtration. The mask cost $2.99 per bandanna picked up at a local gas station, and $3.49 for 10 hairbands (5 pairs) from a local drugstore. A high efficiency A/C filter is about $8.00 and I'd say at least ten filters can be cut from an 18" x 18" A/C filter. Polyester hydro knit towels are another

MyPillow CEO discusses shifting production to create face masks for hospitals Minnesota-based company MyPillow is joining the effort to supply health care workers with the protective gear they need amid the COVID-19 pandemic. "We have capacity to make a lot of things at big rates and we’re going to be going hopefully from 10,000 units a day to 50,000 units a day in a very short period of time," said Lindell.

SEX ROBOTS WITH 'CODING FLAWS' PRONE TO 'SEXUALLY ASSAULTING HUMANS'

EXCLUSIVE: Dr David Levy told Daily Star Online it will be important to teach the robots of the future about consent, because they will have their own sexual desires By David Rivers Senior Reporter 14:15, 29 FEB 2020 UPDATED 14:40, 29 FEB 2020 Sex robots   will need to be programmed correctly in order to avoid sexual assault, an expert has claimed. Dr David Levy believes robots of the future will have their own sexual desires as part of their own artificial intelligence (AI) libidos. But he says they will be stronger, and it will be important to programme robots with consent. The computer science professor, therefore, warns robots that are not programmed correctly risk overstepping the boundaries of human consent. Speaking at a  Raspberry Dream Labs  event, he told Daily Star Online: "It makes sense for us to debate what should be the boundaries for consent given by humans to robots. "When, in a decade or so, a sophisticated sex robot indic

WEINSTEIN IN FEAR OF BEING EPSTEINED?

Harvey Weinstein to get special treatment as officials fear an ‘Epstein incident’ By  Larry Celona ,  Tina Moore  and  Lee Brown February 26, 2020  |  8:30am  Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein will  get special treatment in custody  — because officials fear another “Epstein incident,” sources told The Post. Still reeling from the uproar after pedophile Jeffrey Epstein  managed to hang himself in his Manhattan lockup  last year, jail officials are taking extraordinary steps to monitor their newest high-profile inmate. Weinstein will always have his own cell, will constantly have a dedicated team of correction officers with him — and could even be shipped to a facility outside the city, sources said. “The last thing you want is another Jeffrey Epstein incident,” a jail source told The Post. “Harvey is going to be isolated as much as possible and will always have a detail with him throughout the prison. He’s never going to be like other prisoners, able to walk down
