• Live Life as an Experiment - Peter Bregman - Harvard Business Review
  What I had left, I realized, was nothing. Which was the exact strategy I was practicing. "I'd like to return this," I said to the sales person behind the cash register, "and I know you charge a restocking fee — which you have every right to do — but I'd really appreciate it if you didn't." gets better from there - man i really need to try that more often - you get something for nothing!

  might be a good time to go into the hearing aid industry - One in every five teenagers in the United States today has slight hearing loss, according to the authors of a new report published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The proportion of teenagers with slight hearing loss has jumped 30 percent in the past 15 years.

• Africans do not want or need Britain’s development aid
  As Africans, we urge the generous-spirited British to reconsider an aid programme they can ill afford, and which we do not want or need. A real offer from the British people to help our development would consist of the abolition of the Common Agricultural Policy, which keeps African agricultural exports out of the European marketplace. It is that egregious policy, combined with the weight of regulations, bad laws and stifling bureaucracy, subsidised by five decades of development aid, which prevents Africans from lifting themselves out of poverty.
