[Ugnet] CANADA'S NEW PLASTIC MONEY MELTS
Canadas new plastic $50, $100 bills melting in the heat: reports By Andy Radia http://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/author/andy-radia/ | Daily Brew http://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/dailybrew/ 5 hours ago Description: http://l1.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/mFPPMhTim.7hDSyb6Olv4w--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7c T04NTt3PTMxMA--/http:/media.zenfs.com/en_ca/News/CBC/li-polymer-100-dollar.j pgThe new $100 polymer bill (CBC photo)One of my momma's favourite sayings was 'don't burn your money.' While it was obviously a figurative phrase, it seems I'll have to start using the phrase with my kids in a more literal sense. Several reports are surfacing about Canada's new polymer banknotes melting in the heat. Brittney Halldorson, a teller at the Interior Savings Credit Union in Kelowna, B.C., said the new $50 and $100 bills are supposed to withstand boiling water but she has seen cases where several of the bills melted. We have seen it a few times now where there have been either three to four, or five to ten [bills] all melted together, she told Metro News http://metronews.ca/news/canada/293471/polymer-notes-melt-in-the-sun-repors t-say-bank-of-canada-not-so-sure/ . In Cambridge, Ont., Mona Billard returned eight plastic bills in January, after her son stashed his $800 Christmas bonus in a tin can and hid it near a baseboard heater. When he retrieved them the next day to make a deposit, the $100 banknotes had shriveled and melted. Billard exchanged clean bills for the shrunken, unusable ones. The leather couch is up against the baseboard heater, it doesn't melt, she told the http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/07/12/bank-of-canada-defends-durable-plas tic-bills-despite-melting/ National Post. The kids' toys are back there, they don't melt. And adding some more fuel to the er... fire, the http://www.thestar.com/business/article/1225532--plastic-bills-quick-spend- them-before-they-melt Toronto Star said Thursday that it had confirmed a report of a Halifax man who put his wallet on a toaster oven only to find later that three $100 bills had formed into the shape of a Coke bottle. While putting your wallet on a toaster oven probably isn't the smartest move, it clearly shows a trend doesn't it? Not according to the Bank of Canada. In an email exchange with the National Post, spokesperson Julie Girard maintains the new currency can survive temperatures of up to 140 degrees C. The Bank has encountered no evidence that polymer bank notes are being affected by heat as has been suggested in recent news reports, she wrote. Regardless, this story is likely just heating up. The Bank's new polymer $20 note is set for release this November and the remaining $10 and $5 denominations will be out before the end of 2013. Are the 'melting banknotes' a new urban legend or is there really something to this? Until we find out for sure, you might want to tell your kids to store their cash in a cool, dry place.

Re: [Ugnet] FELLOW AMERICANS YES WE CAN!! Welcome to Global World Economy
Sister, you are right. The movement between the two countries can partly be explained by globalization. The movement south or north are mostly by highly trained people who go to where there are better opportunities in their fields. This is indicated by theinsignificant 30,000 out of a population of 250M.This is hardly a new phenomenon.

Americans moving to Canada in record numbers: report By Andy Radia | Canada Politics – 4 hours ago In what seems to be a reversal of fortunes from the 1990s, more and more Americans are looking to Canada as the 'land of opportunity.' According to a new report by CTV News, economic woes in the U.S. are driving a record number of Americans across the northern border as they seek better job opportunities and cheaper education in Canada. In 2011, Ottawa approved 34,185 visas for U.S. residents — a figure that falls just short of the all-time record of 35,060 approved visas in 2010. By comparison, fewer than 20,000 Canadians moved to the U.S. over the past two years — the lowest number in nearly a decade. It wasn't always this way. When I was in university — back in the late 1990s — my economics professor asked how many of us intended to move to the United States. Almost all of us, fourth-year macroeconomics students, raised our hands. It was the 'brain-drain' era: the American economy was strong and many of Canada's best and brightest were heading south to find work. Both the media and and politicians dubbed the exodus a crisis; studies were commissioned and papers were written. But what a difference a decade makes. "Since the 2008 economic crises, we have witnessed a steady stream of Americans applying for Canadian work visas," Canadian immigration attorney Michael Niren told Yahoo! Canada News in an email exchange on Thursday. "The main reason for this is lack of employment in the U.S. and our strong Canadian dollar." Niren says most Americans who come to Canada do so through the expedited "NAFTA visa" process which requires applicants to have a Canadian job offer in one of 63 recognized occupations. The U.S. has a similar temporary visa — the TN visa — for Canadians who want to work there. For the time being, however, it appears Canada's brain drain has been plugged.

[Ugnet] FELLOW AMERICANS YES WE CAN!! Education! Education in Global World Economy
You hit the nail on the head, Brother! In this global economy and world, EDUCATION is the key to life. Without an education one might as well be dead. Furthermore, not just any education. Parents have to study the world and determine the education that will guarantee their children/grand children careers/employment etc. On top of that being fluent in the Queen's Language is extremely essentail. Look at us! If our people did not sacrifice to send us to school, would we be where we are? Connected to this education topic are politicians. Any government which does not support the education of citizens should be kicked out. What will the future of a nation be with illiterates? How can they be productive citizens without knowledge to do work and get paid? It is not enough to educate friends and family of political rulers. The entire pupulation needs access to good education, good health and economic development. Any politician, who fails to accomplish the three is an ENEMY of the people and their Nation!! This also opens door for foreigners with the appropriate skills to come and work in a country/nation and then take the earnings to their home country--the brain drainage.

Re: [Ugnet] {UAH} Nsereko!!!!Tell him to stay within NRM
You cannot remove tension out of Uganda politics when it is a profession,
look at the numbers of the people involved, it is the entire population. How
do these people survive? Do they have jobs or anything to do? Do they have
families? How exactly do they maintain them when they wake up in the morning
to do what my mother used to define as okwaasamilira nabebyobufuzi? And
that must be the greatest worry in todays Uganda. You have no country where
everyone wakes up to create a commotion in an election as Uganda. And it is
not only in Uganda but look at the forum and how it has dropped everything
that is hurting this country to a mere by election. And it is a mere by
election for this election is changing absolutely nothing in the political
picture of Uganda. What Nsubuga has done is to cross the divide between the
population and the Uganda governors.
And I am going to go back on the policy, when you look at the MPs that have
been attacking the corruption in Uganda parliament, they have been very
upset for so and so must be fired or must be arrested for he ate so much.
Now that is good within its self, but is that what we must aim at? No we
must aim at building checks and balances so that such a corruption does not
take place again. You cannot leave a system to run as inefficient as the
Uganda system runs for you will go in parliament and question those that
have stolen the funds. Parliament is about looking for the loopholes used by
politicians to eat the money and closing them. What loopholes did Uganda
parliament find that caused the eating of the money of CHONGOM and how did
they close them? That is what the opposition, UPC and FDC should have done
than standing up and yelling bloody murder so much and so much was stolen.
Now is there a policy that has passed for parliament has pushed it? Is there
a policy that has failed to be implemented for the opposition went after it?
Did you get a problem defeating a government motion for you had few MPs in
opposition? If the answer to all those questions is no, then of what value
is the winning of Nsubuga in this election to you as a Ugandan? Uganda
government is a bully but so have the population become, they are also a
bully of okay DP has won this by election, and The Movement has lost the
constituency, Kasonso. And they all go home to die with jiggers in their
feet.
And that is how shallow is Uganda politics.

Abbey:
If you have direct communication with Hon Nsereko, tell him to stay put in
NRM. He is taking the biggest gamble of his life. There are a few
independent minded MPs within NRM who are staying put so he better think
very hard before he gets carried away.
Folks, politicians are taking Ugandan voters for a ride. Endless politics is
not good for the country. When do people farm? No wonder hunger is killing
our people.
The other issue is unnecessary tensions. I really hope the IGP cracks down
on the NRM losers and their cheerleaders such as Nakawuki-the former FDC MP-
and co who are trying to raise tensions in Bukoto South. The election is
over and if she is the good lawyer she claims to be, she should go and file
a petition.
I hope the IGP recognizes that such NRM types are the real threat to law and
order in Uganda and should be dealt with kabisa. They lied that things on
the ground were different. They lied to NRM/YKM just to get more money,
which money they pocketed. Now they want more money. NO.
Ugandans politicians of all political sheds take our people for fools.

It could be TRUE. I think I got a private message somewhere stating the same
but lets wait and see. Actually, let me invite this guy to the forum. We
don't have any member of parliament on the forum who is willing to keep us
updated on parliamentary stuff. Nsereko may become our best bet.
