Not Trampis: Penalty Rates
http://nottrampis.blogspot.com/2015/08/penalty-rates.html
Monday, 3 August 2015. I cannot get over every time I read someone anyone saying how penalty rates must go there is only talk about the effect of labour demand but none on labour supply. I happen to know quite a few Uni students because of Cricket. A lot who work on the weekends ( mostly at night) . Now if penalty rates were abolished or lowered guess what would occur? That's right they would not work on the weekend! They would work during the week and enjoy themselves on the weekend. The Ashes Fifth Test.

The world according to Scott H: July 2011

The world according to Scott H. View my complete profile. Afternoon tea review: Gooromon Park, Hall. Surprisingly nearby to Canberra there are many delightful rural areas full of rolling hill vistas, boutique wineries, and gourmet food providores. And cafes. Each time I venture into the countryside, which is not very often, I vow to see more of the local. Region, to try all of the local wines, to eat all of the wonderful. That it is famous for its cold climate ones, notably Riesling. Hen's night afternoo...

The world according to Scott H: November 2011
http://scotthumphries.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
The world according to Scott H. View my complete profile. One thing that few people know about me is that I like to make my own jams and preserves. I grow a lot of my own food, and jams and preserves are a great way to use surpluses at the end of the season. This photo shows some of my recent efforts: there's my old reliable green tomato relish, my berry and rhubarb jam, tangy strawberry jam, a new one I can't wait to try, spicy tomato and ginger jam, and my three fruit marmalade (lemon, lime and kumquot).

The world according to Scott H. View my complete profile. First produce of the season. Great excitement today as I picked my first bunch of asparagus for the year. I'll fry these in some butter and serve them with pepper and Parmesan cheese tonight. Asian high tea (kind of). This past weekend Tom and I went to Melbourne, which is always a nice thing to do (I still miss living there, I must admit). Just like old days :). Over the weekend we also went to the Oriental Tea House. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Mark the Graph: February 2015
http://markthegraph.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
I like to plot! Saturday, February 21. Load ABS files to MySQL. When I am working in R, I tend to have my working data in a MySQL database. I found that R did not always play nicely (and quickly) with complex Microsoft Excel files. Previously, I had quite a complex bit of python code to read Excel files and upload them to MySQL. I have now retooled the way in which I load files from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) to MySQL using Python pandas. The code is much simpler. Import sys sys.path&#...

The world according to Scott H. View my complete profile. Afternoon tea review: Conservatory at Crown. Today we braved the hordes of tourists in shorts and fanny packs admiring the gloomy glitz of Crown Casino (where there was a crowd-pulling Christmas extravaganzza show seemingly every 5 minutes, despite it being 2 days after Christmas) to try afternoon tea at the Conservatory restaurant. More evidence in favour of Speedos. I came across this absurd story. Is this not utter madness? Singers to writhe ab...

Aussie Macro Moments: Lies, damned lies and statistics
http://christopherjoye.blogspot.com/2010/03/lies-damned-lies-and-statistics.html
Real-time, stream-of-consciousness insights on financial markets, economics, policy, housing, politics, and anything else that captures my interest. Tweet @cjoye. Thursday, March 4, 2010. Lies, damned lies and statistics. Sharemarket spruiker Kris Sayce, who, as I have shown here. Is a proven liar, has managed to write about me every single day this week in order to boost his own public profile. One can only conclude that nobody will listen to him unless he does so. Statement of Monetary Policy. Sayce th...

Weatherman Economics: Get to the top…of something very small
http://weathermaneconomics.blogspot.com/2012/02/get-to-topof-something-very-small.html
An analysis of interest rates, the economy, a handful of economists, a randomiser, and the artist formerly known as Prince. Friday, February 17, 2012. Get to the top…of something very small. Cranfield’s use of climbing imagery to promote its MBA program (".get to the top in today's business environment.") misfires on the basis that this bloke is obviously bouldering, so the thing he’s scaling is probably a full 12’ tall. Inspirational stuff! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Wall St. forecasters an...

Weatherman Economics: EU Leaders

An analysis of interest rates, the economy, a handful of economists, a randomiser, and the artist formerly known as Prince. Friday, November 11, 2011. Given the financial catastrophes engulfing their countries, it’s interesting to note what their leaders are focussing on:. Posted by The Weatherman. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Amidst all the mouth-frothing about the decision by ANZ and Westpac to add 0.06% and 0.10% respectively to their standard variable rate hom. Given the Weatherman’s foc...

Weatherman Economics: Adelaide’s first billion dollar homes
http://weathermaneconomics.blogspot.com/2012/02/adelaides-first-billion-dollar-homes.html
An analysis of interest rates, the economy, a handful of economists, a randomiser, and the artist formerly known as Prince. Sunday, February 12, 2012. Adelaide’s first billion dollar homes. Adelaide’s Sunday Mail reports today that average house prices in the leafy inner-east suburb of College Park are about to hit $2m. The Mail discusses this with the President of the Real Estate Institute, who explains that he’s not surprised by the news. They double every seven years do they? I see the ASIC Summer Sch...
