Instead, I got a new friend' By Wills Robinson for MailOnline Published: 15:16 GMT, 23 November 2014 | Updated: 02:09 GMT, 24 November 2014. Life in 83 Square Feet: My Transforming Tiny Home. Tiny homes seem to be all the rage these days, something I didn't fully really realize when I worked with my friends to build my current home.
Maybe because these 83 square feet make up the largest place I've lived in over two years, I just have a different (not necessarily better!) Perspective. For the 6 months prior to building and living in this, I lived in a dome-tent. For the year and a half before that, I lived out of a backpack, crossing the entire continent of Africa (dig back into the archives for more information, but to get you started my favorite post from my journey is about trying to paddle the longest lake in the world, between Tanzania and the Congo, in a traditional wooden boat: Paddling Lake Tanganyika in a Leaky Wooden Boat.).

Digit is the automated savings plan we’ve been waiting for. Until recently, my savings consisted mostly of unexpected windfalls.
A tax return here, a birthday check from Grandma there. Over time I’ve amassed enough that I can withstand the odd financial shock. (The physical pain of a root canal is now slightly more intense than the anxiety I have over paying for one.) But I still don’t have really anything you could call a personal finance strategy, and apparently neither do most Americans: adults younger than 35 have a savings rate of negative 2 percent. Economix Comix. A 16-year-old takes the new PARCC exam. Here’s her disturbing report.

(Chris Pedota/Northjersey.com via AP) Marina Ford is a high-achieving sophomore attending Pinelands Regional High School in Tuckerton, New Jersey. All of her classes are either honors or Advanced Placement. Her favorite subject is English, and she loves to read and write. She ordinarily scores above average on standardized tests — and always does especially well on the English section. ‘Jihadi John,’ a graduate of my radical university. Avinash Tharoor is studying for a master’s degree in international public policy at University College London.
He’s the editor of the Prohibition Post, a drug policy news site. Before traveling to Syria and becoming “Jihadi John,” the masked English-speaker who beheads Islamic State captives on video, Mohammed Emwazi graduated with a computer programming degree from the University of Westminster. I studied international relations there, and although I never met Emwazi, I wasn’t surprised he had attended my alma mater. Despite boasting an inspiring academic staff and vibrant student life, the university has a dark side to its campus culture. Uk.businessinsider. Greg Wise, the actor married to Oscar winner Emma Thompson, has said he and his wife will refuse to pay tax until those involved in the HSBC scandal go to prison.
Wise spoke of his disgust with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and the bank after the Guardian and other news organisations published leaked details of 100,000 accounts held by HSBC’s Swiss arm which showed how the bank had helped clients to move cash out of the country. “I want to stop paying tax, until everyone pays tax,” Wise told the Evening Standard. “I have actively loved paying tax, because I am a profound fucking socialist and I believe we are all in it together.
But I am disgusted with HMRC. I am disgusted with HSBC. Is the Junk-Food Era Drawing to a Close? —Tom Philpott on Wed.
February 25, 2015 6:00 AM PDT Not long ago, the great processed-food companies like Kraft and Kellogg's towered over the US food landscape like the high hat that adorned the head of Chef Boyardee, the iconic canned-spaghetti magnate whose empire is now owned by ConAgra. But now, Big Food has fallen on hard times. Conagra, which owns Hunts, Reddi Whip, Ro-Tell, Swiss Miss, and Orville Redenbacher, along with Chef Boyardee, recently slashed its 2015 profit projections and sacked its CEO. Kraft—purveyor of Oscar Mayer deli meats, Jell-O, Maxwell House coffee, and Velveeta cheese—also recently shook up top management and reported sluggish sales in 2014. There's a "mounting distrust of so-called Big Food, the large food companies and legacy brands on which millions of consumers have relied on for so long," said Campbell Soup's CEO.

Digit is the automated savings plan we’ve been waiting for. Is deli meat actually bad for you? THE QUESTION: Lately I have been reading that deli meats are really unhealthy.
How much is safe to eat? What are better alternatives for sandwiches? THE ANSWER: Processed meats, including deli meats, have been the focus of recent reports. Last week, a 12-year European study of nearly half a million men and women linked a steady diet of processed meats to premature death. People who ate more than 160 grams of processed meat each day – versus less than 20 grams – were 44 per cent more likely to die early, in particular from cardiovascular disease but also from cancer (160 grams of processed meat is equivalent to two large Italian sausages or three slices of deli ham and three small hot dogs). Report: Bill O'Reilly repeatedly told first-hand combat stories that never happened. A report by Mother Jones finds that Fox anchor Bill O'Reilly appears to have told false stories about his time reporting in a war zone.The report, by Mother Jones' David Corn and Daniel Schulman, examines O'Reilly's repeated claims to have seen combat while working as a CBS correspondent in Argentina during the 1982 Falklands war.
Corn and Schulman find that O'Reilly's on-air claims are not supported by his own memoirs or the recollection of other CBS employees at the time.
