Yellen Wants to Hit Full Employment in 2022, but We Need to Look Beyond the Short Term

According to US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen , the higher yields on long-term government bonds are not a sign that market players are expecting excessively high inflation. Yellen rejected criticism of the economic stimulus plan, saying it was not a risk to inflation targets. “I don't see markets expecting inflation to rise above the two percent inflation target, that the Fed has as the average inflation rate in the longer term,” Yellen said in a PBS Newshour interview. "Long-term interest rates have risen somewhat — but mainly, I think, because market participants see a stronger recovery," said the finance minister. 10-year government bond yields stabilized last week on Friday. They had previously climbed to their highest level in more than a year after the February labor mark...

6 Essential Items Disappearing Fast During the Coronavirus

When the COVID-19 pandemic initially became a problem in the United States, many products flew off the shelves faster than they could be restocked. For about a month, items like hand sanitizer, toilet paper, paper towels, rubbing alcohol, rice, and pasta were nowhere to be found.

If you haven’t prepared for a long-term lockdown, let the first round of shortages guide you toward making the right purchases. Here’s what you need to buy before the next round of lockdowns hits.

Cloak of billowing

There was no limit to how many times this ability could be activated. Cloak of Billowing Guide The Cloak of Billowing is a common thing that's not tough to find.

How to Prevent Liability for Weather-Related Accidents

Your insurance policy likely has an “Act of God” clause exempting coverage for events that happen outside of human control or activity. These excluded “Act of God” events are generally natural disasters like floods, tornadoes, and earthquakes.  While these force majeure clauses limit and sometimes exempt coverage for injuries, damage, and loss caused by natural disasters, they don’t absolve you from your duty to exercise reasonable care.  There are situations where businesses can be held liable for damages caused by adverse weather. However, the following tips can help you avoid that liability. Stay on top of weather advisories and forecasts If strong winds or heavy rains cause an accident, you can be held liable for damages if you could have seen it coming, but didn’t prepare. For...

Hauskat syksyn juhlaideat

Kesä on ohi ja on aika kääntää katse kohti pimenevää syksyä. Pimeneviä päiviä piristävät kotibileet, illalliskutsut tai naamiaiset, joiden ideoimisessa ja järjestämisessä vain mielikuvitus on rajana. Tässä kymmenen hauskaa vinkki syksyn parhaiden juhlien järjestämiseen. Lähetä itse tehdyt kutsut. Kutsukorttien kanssa saa olla luova ja erityisen hauska idea onkin tehdä paperiset kutsukortit sen sijaan, että vieraille lähettää kustun suoraan puhelimeen. Toisaalta myös videomuodossa lähetetty kutsu herättää monessa vieraassa varmasti hilpeyttä ja on mieleenpainuva asia. Pidä teemajuhlat. Naamiaiset, tietyn teeman ympärille suunniteltu ruokatarjoilu tai yhteinen aktiviteetti piristävät pippaloita. Vieraat rakastavat naamiaisasujen suunnittelua ja mitä erikoisempi teema, sen enemmän haast...
