Walking and cycling are good for health even in cities with higher 
levels of air pollution

The health benefits of walking and cycling outweigh the negative 
effects on health of air pollution, even in cities with high levels 
of air pollution, according to a study led by researchers from the 
University of Cambridge. This new evidence strengthens the case for 
supporting cycling even in polluted cities -- an effort that in turn 
can help reduce vehicle emissions.

"If enterprises are to grow, they must increase the scale of their 
production.  Since production is useless without a market, the market 
must grow if production expands. There are many ways one can expand 
markets: the most efficient is to increase the buying power of the 
mass of the population."

Robots are coming, Wall Street scourge and curse of the salaryman

The arrival of the robots and their potentially devastating effect on 
human employment has been widely predicted. Now, the machines are 
starting to roll or walk out of the labs. In the process, they are 
about to tip off a financing boom as robotics and artificial 
intelligence become one of the hottest new markets in tech.
