Lambskin is as soft as it gets when it comes to leather. ![]() While goatskin is seen as an all-around great leather, it does come at a higher price tag. Goatskin is much softer and lighter than cowhide, and will most likely feel worn in from the first wear. So, still trying to decide which animal leather is best for you? Take into consideration that deerskin and bison are the most similar to cowhide, but maybe a little bit more pricey. Motorcycle riders have sworn by their cowhide leather jackets for almost a century, and today the fashion industry uses the leather’s casual matte finish to create countless styles of jackets.

It has had a resurgence in recent times but has never been the mainstream view. This view is known as “Ricardian equivalence” because it was first raised–and swiftly rejected–by the English economist David Ricardo in 1817. Whether the accumulated debt is paid off or interest is paid on it forever makes no difference. On this view, when the government runs a deficit and issues new debt, the private sector understands that this means that taxes will be higher in the future and makes provision for it by adjusting savings. Or you could just keep paying interest and never pay off the loan. You could pay it now, or you could get a loan at, say, 10% interest and pay off the $110 loan next year. One view is that government debt doesn’t matter at all. In looking at the effects of this, I’m going to sidestep three issues to keep to a vaguely sensible length: (i) Whether it’s advisable to run deficits to stimulate a sluggish economy (ii) whether it’s desirable to have an official bond market, a by-product of government debt and (iii) whether the problems of measuring what’s going on in government accounts are so severe as to make it impossible to assess the generational effects of budgetary policy. As long as the government doesn’t repudiate the debt–unlikely for the U.S.–future taxes will have to be higher to service it. The key point is simple: Government debt is future taxation. If I may take the liberty of ignoring the paranoid element, you want to know what’s the deal with (i) having existing debt and (ii) adding to that debt by running a budget deficit. (We note in passing that printing money to pay off debt would amount to a large tax on the holding of money.) If the coin disappears into the hands of collectors, the government makes a clear profit at no obvious expense to anyone. If the government replaces a lost coin, it’s spending a small amount to grab the (tiny) increase in value that would otherwise accrue to holders of money, the theory being that if money is withdrawn from circulation, the value of what’s left rises. If you hand in your mangled quarter and the government swaps it for a shiny new one, clearly that’s cost the government about five cents (less scrap value). Whether it raises revenue for the government depends. Issuing new coins is not “making more money” in any of these cases, so it’s not inflationary. And people collect them–125 million people are collecting the State Quarters, according to the Mint. They get lost behind sofas and down drains. its indentured servitudeness? pfm, Albuquerqueīefore we get to your “real question,” pfm, let’s deal with the coins. taxpayers paying interest (we must be paying that interest to someone)? Or is it some entity like the World Bank who prefers that a country stay in debt so that there is essentially indentured servitude by a whole country, making that country’s money worth more-in other words is the underlying wealth of the U.S. to maintain a national debt? Is it the politicians who insist that a national debt is not a problem because they are the ones who are profiting from U.S. What’s up with that? The real question I have, though, is about the national debt. Mint is telling me that they are making money based on nothing more than what it costs to manufacture the money. In a previous column Cecil explained why the Federal Reserve does not just make more money to pay off the national debt as: “If you double the amount of money in circulation without increasing the amount of underlying wealth, all you’ve done is make your currency worth half as much.” But the U.S. The cost to manufacture a quarter is about 5 cents, providing a profit of approximately 20 cents per coin. ![]() Government will make money on the 50 State Quarters Program.

Dear Straight Dope: I recently visited the U.S. ![]() Bisexuals were at times referred to as “fence-sitters,” a derogatory term suggesting unresolved sexual identity. “Gay” often was used as a global term representing sexual minorities-men and women alike. A few decades ago, when I started conducting this research, men often were referred to as “homosexuals,” a term now considered offensive by many. The dynamic nature of language reflects the shifting societal, cultural, and social meanings of sexuality and gender in American society. These estimates more than double when considering same-sex behavior and romantic relationships ( Fredriksen-Goldsen and Kim, in press). By 2060, the number of older adults who self-identify as LGBT will exceed 5 million. An estimated 2.7 million adults ages 50 and older self-identify as LGBT in the United States, including 1.1 million who are ages 65 and older. ![]() ![]() Yet today, LGBT older adults remain largely invisible in aging services, policies, and research, despite the population’s rapid growth. Resisting prevailing stereotypes, they postulated that the positive management of a sexual minority identity was effective in supporting gay men and lesbians for successful aging ( Adelman, 1990 Berger, 1980 Berger and Kelly, 1986 Butler and Hope, 1999 Gray and Dressel, 1985 Kehoe, 1986 Quam and Whitford, 1992 Sharp, 1997). The work of several courageous pioneers began to openly question common misconceptions of “old gays” as depressed, lonely, and sexually undesirable. Only a few decades ago, the aging of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people was relegated to the shadows. ![]() A lot of effort has gone into making this a fun, fantastic experience. Old favorites are still along for the ride, such as the super monkey's plasma vision and the ever popular flying monkey blitz attack. A wonderful addition is the use of military stripes to indicate how much a tower has been upgraded, eliminating the need to click on every tower to see what level it is at. The new upgrades are fabulous, especially the fifth level upgrades. Graphics have improved tremendously, especially with the new monkey ace and monkey buccaneer towers. You can even drop a banana plantation to generate extra money and, presumably, food for the troops!Īnalysis: NinjaKiwi has pulled out a few stops with this sequel.

![]() These trussed levels, which also contain the mechanical systems for the building, appear as black horizontal bands on the façade (Figure 2). While the tubes connectat each floor level with beams and floors trusses, several large trussed levels act as the main horizontal connectors in the buildings. These tubes are independently strong but are further strengthened by the interactions between each other through truss connections. As the columns rise up the building, each square in the plan forms a tube, which can be seen on the exterior of the building. Each square has 5 columns per side spaced 15 feet on centers, with adjacent squares sharing columns. The building plan consists of 9 squares, each 75 feet across, placed in a three-by-three grid arrangement(Figure 2). ![]() The Willis Tower draws its strength, both visual and physical, from its structural form, the bundled tube. The dark bands represent the truss levels. 2: Seven of the nine ‘tubes’ discontinue at certain levels creating various floor plans. However, Sears and Graham both wanted something distinctive, not another ‘Big John’. As the building contained an excess 2 million square ft compared to the initial space demand, Sears needed to consider various tenant requirements, and the shape of the John Hancock Center was similar to what they needed. In that building, he had used another innovative structural system, the braced tube, which tapered towards the top to provide for various tenant requirements. 9 Khan had already worked on another Chicago project, the John Hancock Center, with architect Bruce Graham. ![]() This bundled tube system gave the building its physical strength while saving Sears $10 million as compared to pre-existing structural systems. 8 This would change the building into an 80-story tower, but only if SOM could make it cost-effective.įazlur Khan, the engineer selected to work on the project, came up with the structural system that defined the Sears Tower. Instead, SOM determined by performing its own studies that departments could save significant amounts of time by stacking two 55,000 square ft stories on top of one another. Also looking for a cost-effective solution, Sears pictured a large 40-story cube. Sears performed several studies about the company’s project growth and current business practices and concluded that their current and future space requirements were 2 and 4 million square ft, respectively 7, with a floor area of 110,000 square ft per department. It was only after Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM), a structural engineering and architecture firm based in Chicago, got involved that the building took its final form. 6 However, height did not initially concernSears, as the original Tower design differed greatly from the final design. above sea level, or 1450 ft above ground. 5 The only remaining obstacle to build higher was the Federal Aviation Administration, which set the maximum building height for Chicago at 2000 ft. 4 Daley also lifted the height restriction on buildings through a zoning ordinance revision in 1955 the ordinance changed the maximum building height to sixteen times the area of the lot. He was keen on the commerce that Sears’ headquarters would bring to the Chicago Loop area, which was partly undeveloped land. The company found support from Chicago’s mayor, Richard Daley. 3 However, Sears needed Chicago’s support in order to make their move to the city center at South Wacker Drive. 2 With a net income of $441 million that year, the company could financially support the development of an impressive modern building. By 1969, Sears was the largest retailer in the nation, and looking to update their outdated headquarters. 1 In the mid-1920s, Sears transitioned from the mail order business into regional stores. In the years that followed, thesmall company grew tremendously, becoming the largest mail order business in the world by 1906. Sears, Roebuck and Company was incorporated in 1893 by Richard Warren Sears and Alvah Curtis Roebuck. This company, who commissioned the building as their new headquarters in the early 1970s, played an integral role to the final form and size of the Tower. Originally, the Willis Tower was called the Sears Tower, after Sears, Roebuck & Company. The name change will stand for the duration of their ten year lease. In 2010, the building was renamed the Willis Tower after Willis Group Holdings, a London insurance broker and currently the largest tenant of the tower.
