Comparing The United States to Spain. The GINI index measures the degree of inequality in the distribution of family income. In Spain is 32.00 while in The United States it is 45.00. This index measures the degree of inequality in the distribution of family income in a country. The index is calculated from the Lorenz curve, in which cumulative family income is plotted against the number of families arranged from the poorest to the richest. The index is the ratio of (a) the area between a country's Lorenz curve and the 45 degree helping line to (b) the entire triangular area under the 45 degree line. The more nearly equal a country's income distribution, the closer its Lorenz curve to the 45 degree line and the lower its Gini index, e.g., a Scandinavian country with an index of 25.
The Psychology of Time » Resourceful Change NLP Blog Have you ever wondered how some people make such good use of their time while others work at a frantic pace and accomplish much less? The obvious answer is that while seconds, minutes, hours and days are standardised, we all experience time differently. In NLP, ‘timelines’ are used to describe how our internal sense of time is structured. When I teach timelines at NLP practitioner level, most people find that the way they personally structure time has a marked effect on every area of their lives. In the following video, psychologist Philip Zimbardo (most famous for the Stanford Prison Experiment) talks about the many effects of our subjective experience of time. Interesting?

How I Can Afford My Life Of Constant Travel I’m confused. I’m simply confused as to how it’s possible that I have so far failed to properly explain how I’ve managed to travel/live/work abroad nonstop for 12 years straight (and counting). The questions are still pouring in every single day: How do you do it? And while I thoroughly enjoy communicating with readers (I’m being completely serious and encourage you all to continue sending your emails to me as often as you wish), the fact that these very questions are on the minds of so many of you out there has led me to believe that I need to do a better job at providing the answers. While it’s true that I’ve already written plenty of posts on the matter, clearly all of these posts, even as one collective entity, still fall well short of proving that a life of travel is not some crazy fantasy but a perfectly reasonable and easily attainable lifestyle option instead. So what am I to do? The following is a brief summary of the past 12 years of my life. December 25, 1999: March 2000 April 2003

This hair-raising trail through twenty-one switchbacks and over sheer cliffs (chains bolted into the rock face serve as handrails) is not for the faint of heart. The reward for your effort, however, is miles of utterly immaculate views. How to Do It The trailhead begins at the shuttle's Grotto stop. If you persevere through a series of switchbacks known as Walter's Wiggles, you'll find yourself at Scout Lookout, a perfectly stunning (but false) summit.
