I went to NYC, last week, for a conference and meetings.
Everything seemed fine till I got there, and realized that I forgot the little bag that holds all my cables and chargers.
Funny how Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs changes without electronics.
I didn't realize how dependent I am on my little electronic companions.

The average human now lives about 75 years.
We spend about a third of that time sleeping ... a number that probably hasn't changed much across human history.
What has changed is what we do with the remaining time.
As the following chart shows, over the past 150 years, there has been a profound shift in what we do with our waking hours.
In 1870, employed persons worked close to 3,000 hours per year ... which is roughly 10 hours per day, 6 days a week, 300 days a year. That number has almost halved for the most productive countries.
Hope you are having a Happy New Year!

You've heard the stories ... "I had better insurance and much lower rates before all the ObamaCare Affordable Care Act mess started."
Healthcare premiums are rising; but, slower than before (according to the Kaiser Family Foundation's annual survey of employer health benefits).
Start with the basics. On average, the cost of employer-sponsored health insurance increased 26 percent from 2009 to 2014. But costs increased faster before the law was enacted: From 2004 to 2009, costs increased 34 percent. From 1999 to 2004, they went up 72 percent.
Are premiums rising faster for small employers? No, actually, the opposite is true. For companies with 200 workers or more, average 2014 premiums were $17,265, or 3.3 percent higher than in 2013. At companies with 3 to 199 workers, annual premiums in 2014 averaged $15,849 -- 1.7 percent more than in 2013, when average premiums were 2.2 percent higher than in 2012.
None of that takes away from the economic hardship imposed on people whose premiums have gone up since the law was passed. My premiums are certainly higher. This just helps put things in perspective.
