The Perth Mint, proud occupant of the same historic limestone building since
its opening in 1899, will take on a new 21st-century look over the next
three years.
http://www.stuff.co.nz/4661389a2181.html
The heritage-listed headquarters, now one of the Western Australian
capital's premier tourist attractions, will undergo a multi-million-dollar
redevelopment with new-look exhibition and retail facilities to be phased in
between next year and 2011.
Since 1992, when the Mint was first opened to the public, well over one
million visitors have been attracted to its daily program including molten
gold pourings, guided heritage walks including a 1890s-style gold
prospectors camp, its display of $250,000 ($NZ310,000) worth of gold
bullion, its coins, medallions and jewellery - and its elegant tea gardens.
But now Mint CEO Ed Harbuz (Harbuz) says an update of its exciting
experience is overdue.
The retail and exhibitions areas have changed little since the early 1990s
and a radical overhaul is required to ensure it meets modern expectations of
interactivity, entertainment and education, he said.
A variety of concepts is being considered.

I'm certainly no fan but I fail to see why the current administration is to
blame for the economic disaster taking place. It could be argued that the
central bank is to blame for the mess and there have been no shortage over
the past 15 years, of critics raising flags about Greenspan's policies and
now Bernanke's policies. The current board of directors (supposed to be 9)
on the federal reserve consist of five wealthy and powerful jews who just
bailed out a fellow wealthy and powerful jew. In addition, the treasury
secretary is yet another jew working hard to convince everyone the economic
fundamentals are sound. Meanwhile, people like you and the media work
overtime at deceiving the public into believing an administrative figure
head and the republican party is to blame. What a sham.
Shame on you! Shame on jews!

There is one source and one source alone responsible for the greater portion
of corruption, greed, poverty, conflict, war, environmental destruction and
even advancement in our modern societies. It may be surprising for most
people to realize the true nature of their hardship as it can take so many
forms as noted above. There is a common cause for those behaviors and it is
our environment as any experienced biologist would attest.
While we are busily preparing for another day at the office or the factory
and pay regard to the weather report in order to know what best to wear, we
pay far less regard to other environmental factors which may be less natural
but which affect our lives even more profoundly than weather.
Symptoms have often been mistaken as evidence suggesting any number of
possible sources. Some that come to mind are UFO's, immigrants, communists,
terrorist, jews, politicians or lawyers and while each may indeed be in
themselves evidence of, for instance fraud, the fraud itself has a source.
It is the same source responsible for individual hardship.
Be forewarned. The subject is far less dramatic than the wonders of the
natural or supernatural world, is far less evil than it is disappointing and
is the heart of what many would argue a particularly dull subject namely,
economics. There, I said it. The secret is out!

"Diverse Harmonic Balance" - A framework for understanding and
determining effective choices in complex systems
Contents:
Purpose:
Summary:
From Atom to Economics:
Change.
The Economic Model is Flawed.
Value Revised.
Final Conclusion:
Purpose:
"Diverse Harmonic Balance" (DHB) presents a framework for understanding and
determining effective choices in complex systems. This document aims to show
our economic model should emulate that of a natural system.
Summary:
The economic market place is the new savannah. Our lives are governed
primarily by market forces created by economics principles. Where we once
may have worshiped and been primarily shaped by the elements of nature, we
now worship and are primarily shaped by the forces of economics.

"Greed has an extremely negative connotation for most people. It conjures up
images of Ebenezer Scrooge and Shylock, chortling over their gold and
ignoring the plights and miseries of others. However, it is actually the
gathering of resources, the more the better. Biologically, for any organism
that is successful greed is good." - Richard F. Taflinger
http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~taflinge/biology.html
---------
Greed may be a form of gathering resources, but the assertion, "greed is
good", is a flawed premise.
An organism's success does not necessarily mean it is within the bounds of
natural law and therefore sustainable. Success is no guarantee from failure.
The natural environment provides growth limiting factors to organisms for a
reason, namely, preventing one from being "too greedy".
The tree that can grow so rapidly that it can't be supported by its
environment, is doomed. This contradicts the assertion that the more growth
an organism can achieve, the better for the organism. "Biologically, for any
organism that is successful greed is good."
The assertion also ignores the value of an organism that experiences slower
growth.
