If you want a well-functioning immune system to help you ward off the flu and other respiratory tract infections, it pays off to keep it in good working order, for instance with help from vitamin D. In a news flash on the web site www.thejournal.ie (Thursday, February 16, 2017), you can read about a recent British study of respiratory tract infections (including flus and colds) and different strategies for prevention. The British study, which is conducted by scientists from Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) and published in the British Medical Journal, has looked at the occurrence of respiratory tract infections among the British people, while discussing flu shots and the need for increasing vitamin D intake.
The reason why there is increased focus on vitamin D is that we humans need this nutrient to maintain a normal immune defence. We are normally able to produce the vitamin when we expose ourselves to sunshine (without using sunscreen). However, the sunlight that we get during the cold period of the year - which is also when colds and the flu typically go around - is not sufficiently strong to enable the body to synthesise vitamin D. Therefore, many people are low in vitamin D in the autumn and winter and may benefit from taking a supplement.
It is only during the period from May to September that we are able to produce adequate amounts of vitamin D from sunlight. The rest of the year the sun sits too low in the sky for us to benefit from its rays.
Certain foods, oily fish in particular, also contain vitamin D, but the diet alone is no guarantee of getting the required amount of this important nutrient.
More and more people take vitamin D supplements to be on the safe side. A preparation like BioActive D-Pearls is a good choice, as it contains biologically active vitamin D3 in a vegetable oil solution, which ensures superior absorption in the digestive system. The bioavailability of D-Pearls was tested by scientists from the University of Oslo in Norway. The researchers tested two D-Pearls formulations (a low-dosage and high-dosage capsule) on a group of athletes and found that both dosages were absorbed efficiently in the body.

Skopun (IPA: , danska: Skopen) är den nordligaste byn på Sandoy, en av de öar som utgör Färöarna. Skopun är centralort och enda ort i den 9 km² stora kommunen Skopuns kommun, och hade vid folkräkningen 2015 totalt 446 invånare.

Historia
Platsen ska ha varit bebodd redan under vikingatiden, men blev sedan frånflyttad. Marken tillföll grundarna på Sandur bosatta på öns sydkust, fram tills den nuvarande byn grundades som niðursetubygd 1833/1834. Initiativet togs av amtsman Frits Tillisch som ville ha en nordlig hamn på Sandoy, och fann denna plats. Traditionellt har invånarna varit ett jordbrukslöst folk och istället satsat på fiskeindustrin.

Skopuns kyrka uppfördes 1897 efter gamla material som återanvändes efter rivandet av kyrkan i Vestmanna. Kyrkan byggdes ut år 1960 och kyrkogården ligger strax innanför gränsen till grannkommunen Sandurs kommun.

Befolkningsutveckling

Samhälle
De främsta näringsvägarna i byn är fiskeriet, strax efterföljt av offentlig och privata sektorn. Högstadieskolan finns belägen i Sandur och har upptagningsområdet för hela ön.

Politiskt har samhället dominerats av Sjálvstýrisflokkurin under första halvan av 1950-talet, ofta med cirka 90% av väljarnas röster. Detta kan beo på Johan Hendrik Poulsens starka positition. Javnaðarflokkurin och Tjóðveldi har under senare år växt sig starkare på ön. Gerhard Lognberg har varit medlem av kommunstyrelsen sedan 1984, och i lagtinget sedan 2002.

In this era of political devise, polarization on so many fronts, hatefulness, lack of tolerance and violence, it seems we need some ways to contribute to the good of all. It can feel like a hopeless cause as we don't feel as if we have any impact in the drama unfolding each day. It is certainly easy to get caught up in all of this and become obsessed with the daily happenings yet that can leave us feeling anxious, angry and fearful.
I do feel like we can contribute and make a difference in this unsettled terrain we currently live in. It would start with what our "internal terrain" looks like. Is there unsettledness, anxiety, anger and hatefulness within our own self? Can we work to maintain a peace-filled environment that becomes symbolic of what we want to see in the world we live?
It seems clear that our real work, regardless of which side of the issue we land, is to "be the change we want to see" – as Ghandi so wisely put it. We can use this to be the beacon of light to guide us and remind us how not to get caught up in the rhetoric so much, but instead to always make choices in how we respond. We make these deliberate and conscious responses by remembering our values and how we want to live.
Let's face it. How we choose to live internally needs to be symbolic of the community, state and nation that we want to see. To me this means we have to choose to be the peace, love, kindness and compassion within our self so that this can reflect out into the rest of the world.
It is exceptionally difficult because the outside rhetoric can keep us upset, worked up and anxious. This is why I continue to practice mindfulness and extend the course opportunity to others. I feel like this tool, practicing mindfulness is needed more than ever right now. It teaches how to recognize that you are having a stress reaction within yourself and then gives the tools needed to make choices to respond in a way that is not reactive.
Let's imagine that how you feel internally actually does impact your environment, whether at home, work and within your community. If you react to everything that comes across your path in a day, it impacts your internal space. If you begin to catch yourself going into a reactive state and make choices that align with your values and what you want to see in the world, you are contributing to making the state of affairs better. So be the peace you want to see. Start with yourself. Let your desire for peace within be your moral compass for what you extend out.
Ding. Chime. Notification received. Perhaps we continue through our moment. But our brains caught it, received it and responded. We were alerted. The dopamine was dumped. Conditionally we learn to respond to our phones through the notifications we receive.
Ding. Dopamine dump. Respond. Ding. Dopamine dump. Respond. No ding. Quiet. Pick up the phone and check. What did I miss? Precisely the moment you are living in real life, right now. Here. The moments not in the phone world, or social media front. The living breathing moment in your life now.
There needs to be a balance between the two systems (dopamine and opioid) between "wanting" and "liking" that chemically keeps us going. With our technology, we are amping up the "pleasure-seeking" behaviors. We are continually searching, seeking out and desiring more - double clicking. We need to shut off the dopamine process – or put it on pause – in order to allow the opioid system to reward us and give us pleasure. With the quick response to our texts, twitters, we have immediate gratification and are quickly moving back into the behavior-searching mode. If you don't put this process on pause, you begin to do a looping through the dopamine system. It is a matter of seeking constantly, getting rewarded, and seeking again. The constant stimulation of the dopamine dump can be exhausting and addictive.
We need to be aware. More and more we are required through our work, etc. to be on technology. We leave work and come home to be on it. Our children are surrounded with it. We need to take steps to make sure we are not setting ourselves up for looping and developing an addiction to our technology. Here are some ideas for managing the technology world.
First, you can turn off your notifications. Although these notifications can be a nice feature, they often prevent us from staying focused and centered on our task at hand. Even when we aren't checking in after being notified, we are still getting the dopamine response and being distracted. Turn off all visual and auditory cues. Check your phone and computer less often. Be deliberate. Set it aside waiting the deliberate time you establish for checking emails (maybe twice a day). When you are with real live people, put the phone away. Reply later, maybe hours later. Set your boundaries and stick to them.
Have technology-free zones such as when you are eating or when you are in bed. Turn off your phone when you are driving, in meetings or spending time with your children. Fill in time when you are bored with other activities such as reading, meditating, working out or putting a puzzle together. Remove social media apps from your phone so you can only access it on the computer. (Smith, Robinson, & and Segal, 2016). We can gain a lot from our technology world. However, we have to manage it, just like anything else or it can be a set up for losing ourselves and what we have in our real world. Take the necessary steps to keep things in order so they are enjoyable not consuming your life.

My dad died March 15, 2017 at 3:51 p.m. By a chance of fate, I was with him when he died. It seemed that the minute or two leading to his final breath were in slow motion and went on forever, suspended in time, as we approach the finality of his time here. Frozen in that moment, my husband and I stood there by his bedside, holding him. Again, what might have been only seconds gave into a feeling of a long, long pause. The world stopped at 3:51pm. The world we knew. The quiet of the moment quickly left as we "came to" enough to realize we had to communicate with the others who had been holding vigil. Trying to come back into the reality was tough, as we were both numb, shocked. Now what? My husband called my brother to let him know and asked him to go pick up our mother who had not left our dad's bedside, except only minutes before after being encouraged to go get some rest while we sat with dad.
In a quiet, surreal place, we sat with dad until mom arrived – time stood still. I wasn't tracking time or anything, as my mind was "offline". Even with all the expectation of dad's impending death, at this moment there was no thinking, or planning or organizing. It was just walking through the motions as we did one task at a time. At one point, as people gathered by my dads bedside, my sister-in-law took my mom's phone and began calling people as they had planned she would. I didn't do anything. I just was there watching the scene, feeling sensory overload, not really in the scene, frozen.
And as we gathered together in dad's room, others started arriving – dad's priest, the hospice social worker and nurse and then, finally, the mortuary staff. The vigil continued until dad left and then with nothing more to do, feeling the stark void, we headed to our home place where people were gathering. It is all a blur.
In my sensory overload state, I couldn't help but notice as family gathered, the room began to fill. Watching from afar, as I sat there in the midst, I noted the phones going off throughout the room, loud and intrusive. The noise level continued to build with a crescendo as the conversation picked up speed and volume. The calls for each family member, from their own circle of people, were rolling in. As if managing the calls on one phone weren't enough, people were calling my mom and she would hand me the phone. Holding two phones, I would talk to her caller, but then she would decide she could talk too. The connections in that moment, went way beyond managing it. We just did our best to respond, going through the movements. At moments, I would retreat. Needing quiet I would take a moment and disappear to the next room, in my mom's bedroom. Staying there only for a minute or two, or five or ten, I am not sure, before going back out into the family room.
Everyone does grief differently. Everyone experiences death differently. Of course, this death was my dad. And even if it was the right order, (He was 84 years old and the first one to die in our family, including extended family on both sides.), and he was, "Now out of pain," and "Now in a better place." And "It was for the best." And "He was out of his suffering." And, "He lived a good life." And all those things people say to you . . . all those things that make some sense, didn't make sense at this moment.
All of this was part of the sensory overload, my shock symptoms. Too many people, too much noise, too many connections via phone conversations and texts. No time to sit and be still. Let's talk about dad. Let's share some memories. Can we just sit still and talk about dad, our dad, the dad that raised us, taught us so much, shared his values with us, disappointed us at times, made us proud, always supported us? Whatever the feelings – can we just talk? Everyone does their grief differently. Some want to talk. Some want to distract from the raw pain by doing things that don't matter or doing the things that do matter. Some want to avoid it altogether and leave. Some, like me, want to talk about it with those I am closest to, with those that have the same memories. Some, like me, find they have no energy to take care of anyone else at the moment. They just can't do it. They can't worry about making others feel better. Some experience all of the above at different points. Some have other ways to deal with their pain. Some aren't feeling anything right now and going through the motions is the easiest way to get through it. Most do experience feelings of numbness. How can we let this in all at once? It is our protection.
There is no right or wrong to the grief process. I do think it is important to be mindful of what you, yourself, are experiencing, and honor it. I was surprised at how I didn't have the energy to give to anyone. I wasn't able to answer emails and text messages. I finally sat down to answer text messages a week or two later. I didn't have it in me to talk to anyone unless talking to that person would give me energy. I had one friend who had a similar story as my dad's story, text me and I wanted to connect with her. I wanted to talk to my cousin who had some stories to tell me about my dad. But mostly, I didn't want to talk to people. I didn't want to "chat". I didn't have it in me to make people feel more comfortable with the raw pain of death. So I honored that and took my time.
I thought I had accepted the inevitable and was ready for dad to move on. He had no quality of life with his disease. It wasn't until his death, that I could really allow myself to grieve; grieve all that was slowly taken away these past two years, grieve the loss of my dad and all he brought to my world during his lifetime; grieve the person that is no longer here. Of course, in my shock state I have only begun this process. I hope to be accepting of where I am in the moment, not judging of it, but aware in a mindful way of what stage I might be in, what my needs are in the moment, and give myself permission to be wherever I am at this moment. After all, in death that is all we really can do.

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8cx chip for Windows 10 laptops could end Intel's dominance
This could be the beginning of the end of the 'Wintel' era.
By Raymond Wong on December 6, 2018
Are Qualcomm-powered laptops the future? Credit: qualcomm
> Tech > Desktops
Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips dominate mobile — you'll find them in almost every Android phone and tablet — and now they're ready to invade Intel's main turf: PCs.
On the third day of its annual Snapdragon Technology Summit, the world's largest mobile chipmaker unveiled the Snapdragon 8cx system-on-a-chip (SoC). It's created with a 7-nanometer process, similar to Apple's A12 and A12X chips, which are in the iPhone XS/XS Max/XR and new iPad Pros.
Qualcomm previously tested the PC waters with the Snapdragon 835 and 850 chips, but now it's ready for a full assault on Intel's territory. This could very well be the beginning of the end to Intel's vice-like grip powering PCs.
SEE ALSO: 8 ways Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855 chip will change smartphones for the better
The new "Snapdragon 8cx Compute Platform" (as it's officially called) is significant because Qualcomm's designed it from scratch just for PCs — specifically, thin-and-light laptops and 2-in-1s that are meant to be always-on and always-connected.
While it shares many of the fabrication techniques from Qualcomm's mobile-first chips past, present, and future (hello, Snapdragon 855), the 8cx chip has many elements and features that meet the more demanding tasks of PCs.
Built for PC needs
This is the new chip that might kick Intel's butt. Credit: qualcomm
For example, laptops usually have larger screens with more pixels to push. So Qualcomm included a beefier Adreno 680 GPU (that bests even the new 855 chip's Adreno 640), capable of outputting to two 4K HDR displays.
The Kryo 495 CPU has eight cores and a larger cache for better multi-tasking performance. Because, you know, PCs users are juggling more apps and more Chrome tabs than on Android phone or tablets. Qualcomm says the 8cx chip offers comparable performance to an Intel U-series processor(Opens in a new tab) running on 15 watts (found in laptops like Dell's XPS 13) and up to 3x faster than Apple's latest MacBook Air, which uses a lower-powered 7-watt Y-series Intel chip.
Qualcomm says it's optimized the 8cx chip to get more CPU and GPU performance with greater power efficiency. Windows 10 is supposed to run up to 2x faster than on the Snapdragon 850 chip and 3.5x faster than on the 835. At the same time, the 8cx is up to 60 percent more power efficient.
Other geeky tidbits, like support for faster LPDDR4x 2,133MHz memory configurable up to 16GB and ultra-fast NVMe SSD storage read/write speeds, will surely sate PC power users.
The chip supports second-generation USB-C 3.1, but not Thunderbolt 3, which is a technology developed by Intel.
Enhancing PCs with mobile's strengths
Snapdragon 8cx-powered laptops can be thinner and lighter than Intel-powered ones. Credit: qualcomm
But rivaling Intel's performance with smaller and fanless silicon (Intel has struggled to release a 7-nanometer chip) aren't the only advantages Qualcomm has over its leading competitor. The Snapdragon architecture was designed for mobility and the wireless lifestyle it enables.
As such, battery life on 8cx-powered laptops should be much better than on Intel-powered machines, and it has support for Quick Charge 4+. Qualcomm says PCs with its 8xc will have "multi-day" battery life.
The integrated X24 LTE modem allows for always-connected cellular connectivity. Despite phones and tablets having built-in cellular connectivity for years, laptops are just adding them in now. Part of the reason has the incompatibility of LTE modems with Intel chips, which would've drained battery life a lot quicker. However, Qualcomm's expertise integrating LTE modems into the same silicon on mobile gives it a leg up on in this area.
Similarly, Qualcomm's Aqstic audio tech allows for better wireless audio and improved hands-free voice commands with voice assistants such as Alexa and Cortana.
Eating Intel's lunch
Intel's backed itself into corner and unless it makes a more efficient chip, Qualcomm could eat its lunch. Credit: qualcomm
Intel's remained the undisputed supplier of processors for PCs for decades. But that time could be coming to an end.
The work Qualcomm has done for mobile has changed the way we all live, work, and play. Mobile's been transformed and now the chipmaker's taking its knowledge it's gained and bringing it to PCs.
There's a huge opening for the company to disrupt Intel's rule. If Intel can't deliver power and energy-efficient chips, then Qualcomm will.
But Qualcomm's not the only one using its mobile chip expertise to give Intel a kick in the pants. Apple's widely rumored to be working on MacBooks powered by the company's A-series chips instead of Intel processors. Intel might have scoffed at being unseated years ago, but now it's starting to look like the company's completely out of touch with future technology trends.
With mobile chips like Apple's A12X Bionic are rivaling performance(Opens in a new tab) from a 15-inch MacBook Pro, there's a big opportunity for Apple to dump Intel altogether in the future as its silicon gets even more powerful and more power-efficient. Windows PC makers won't dump Intel overnight, but Qualcomm's 8cx and its successor will inevitably make it harder for them to ignore.
Intel's backed itself into a corner. It missed the mobile revolution and it might miss the next-generation of portable laptops and 2-in-1s because of Qualcomm and Apple's chip innovations. If it doesn't do something drastic soon, it won't be doing much except powering really high-end machines.

Startup Whisperer: Are Customers Driving Your Product?
A good subject Matt. I would add that the difference between useful and not useful customer feedback can usually be traced to the kind of questions you asked them. If you're asking people "What do you think of this?" or "What would you do differently with this?" you're assuming a level of expertise that usually isn't there. You also end up with a lot of contradictory and anecdotal commentary that's hard to translate into meaningful design input. What is often more educational is to ask your customers what problem they think your service/product is helping them solve and what they perceive their biggest challenges around that product to be. Also, what other activities/products/services do they engage when involved in solving the same kind of problem. If you can focus them on explaining their desires and habits rather than asking them for on-the-fly product development help you might learn some things that your team can elevate to new business ideas.

«There is a lot more risk of a recession in the United States than people are giving it credit for.»: Jim Bianco.

«The Repo Market Has Been Drugged Into Submission»
Jim Bianco, founder and chief strategist of Bianco Research, warns that the Fed's massive liquidity injections could make the problems in the short-term funding markets even worse. He fears that the risk of a recession in the US is underestimated and he expects further downward pressure on interest rates.
Christoph Gisiger 25.10.2019, 05.50 Uhr
Investors are hearing encouraging news. The trade dispute between the US and China seems to cool off. The risk of a chaotic Brexit is receding. The yield-curve is back to normal.
Jim Bianco
Jim Bianco is President and Macro Strategist at Bianco Research, L.L.C. Since 1990 his commentaries have offered a unique perspective on the global economy and financial markets. Unencumbered by the biases of traditional Wall Street research, he has built a decades long reputation for objective, incisive commentary that challenges consensus thinking. In nearly 20 years at Bianco Research, his wide-ranging commentaries have addressed monetary policy, the intersection of markets and politics, the role of government in the economy, fund flows and positioning in financial markets. Prior to joining Arbor and Bianco Research, Mr. Bianco was a Market Strategist in equity and fixed income research at UBS Securities and Equity Technical Analyst at First Boston and Shearson Lehman Brothers. He is a Chartered Market Technician (CMT) and a member of the Market Technicians Association (MTA). He has a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance from Marquette University (1984) and an MBA from Fordham University (1989). In May, Mr. Bianco was interviewed by the White House for one of the open positions on the Board of Fed Governors.
Nevertheless, the reaction of equities and bonds remains relatively modest. «The markets are still kind of in this no-man's-land trying to figure out what's going to happen next,'» says Jim Bianco.
According to the internationally renowned macro strategist, the lack of a powerful breakout could be a hint that the impact of trade may be overstated and that other factors are keeping the financial markets in check.
For example, trust in the repo market remains fragile, even though the Federal Reserve is intervening with ever bigger liquidity infusions. In addition to that, the likelihood of a recession in the US is significantly greater than most economists think, notes Bianco.
In this at-length interview with The Market, the President of Chicago based Bianco Research explains why he expects government bond yields to continue to decline over the next few months and what he thinks could pop the monster bubble in European sovereign debt.
Mr. Bianco, prospects of a partial trade agreement and a Brexit deal are generating support for financial markets. Is the worst in terms of uncertainty now behind us?
Many strategists keep talking about uncertainty as if there was never any uncertainty in the markets before and we just invented that word last year. For the moment, it looks like we have avoided a hard Brexit and that we're heading towards phase one of a trade agreement between China and the US. So there may be a bit more clarity on the horizon. But despite these headlines, markets have yet to respond. The S&P 500 and the yield on ten-year treasuries are moving towards the higher end of their range. But so far, they haven't broken out nor negated the news. So the markets are still kind of in this no-man's-land trying to figure out what happens next.
I suspect that people are overstating the impact that trade has on the financial markets. There is more that holds the markets back than just trade, although that's what strategists have been telling us for a year and a half. The old saying on Wall Street is price drives news and so far, stock prices and bond yields have not yet broken out to confirm the recent good news. The longer a breakout takes, the more concerned we become that it might not materialize. Therefore, the coming days are going to be critical.
Taking this into account, next week's FOMC meeting could play an important part. What is the Federal Reserve going to do?
I think they are going to cut interest rates for a third time and they will do it like they have done it all throughout this cycle: They will try to make noise that they want to stop cutting rates because they never really wanted to start cutting rates in the first place. We will see whether or not the market agrees with that. One of the problems the Fed has had is that they can't really explain why they are cutting rates. The reason they are doing it is that the market is demanding it and they are afraid to fight the market. So if the market wants more rate cuts it will get more rate cuts.
What's more, the yield curve has moved back into positive territory. How significant is this development?
The big thing that has pushed the yield curve positive has been the announcement that the Fed will be buying $60 billion worth of Treasury bills every month to solve liquidity problems in the repo market. They have created a new demand for the front end of the yield curve and the market is responding accordingly. There has been a discussion in Fed circles that even though they are increasing bank reserves we shouldn't call it «Quantitative Easing» or «QE». Yet, the front end of the yield curve is acting exactly as if it was QE; exactly as if they were doing something that was going to be stimulating. So the market is behaving in kind and I'm not surprised that the yield curve is un-inverting.
The yield curve is perceived as a leading indicator for the economy. What does it mean for the outlook when the curve goes back to normal?
I think the curve will steepen out a lot more when all that buying kicks in. This is the way the curve typically un-inverts. In a massive way: very hard and very fast. I like to refer to it as a «wheelie» and when the yield curve is doing that wheelie it's usually right into the teeth of the slowdown: It's the moment when the market and the Fed realize that they've made a mistake, that the economy is much weaker than we thought, that there is a big problem and that more stimulus is required. That's when you get that massive steepening of the yield curve. But maybe this one is different because we've got the Fed stepping in and just manipulating the curve steeper.
To calm tensions in the short-term funding markets the Fed is pushing more and more liquidity into the system. What do you think of this approach?
The repo market has been drugged into submission by the Fed. It has medicated the problem for now, but the problem has not gone away. This situation is becoming larger and more complicated. No one is sure how this is going to play out. If we knew how to fix this problem, it wouldn't have happened in the first place. Temporary injections of money can help for a while. But the longer the Fed is doing this - I mean months or years - the more they risk another set of problems coming in. So sooner or later the markets must be taken off this drug. Relaxing burdensome regulations for banks would help, but this does not appear to be on regulators' radars.
The Fed's reputation is already at risk, especially with regard to President Trump's vocal criticism of Chairman Jerome Powell. To what extent are the problems in the repo market undermining trust in the world's most important Central Bank?
It's really the New York Fed that runs these operations. And according to all the insiders, Jay Powell had a real strong hand in getting John Williams to the New York Fed from the San Francisco Fed when his predecessor Bill Dudley left. And then, Simon Potter, the architect of all the QE programs, was pushed out the door at the end of May. Sure, there are other competent people at the Fed, but it's like: The guy who was running everything left and then we get these problems in the repo market. So it really does beg the question if there are too many academics at the Fed and if they have lost touch with the market.
Meanwhile on the other side of the pond, Christine Lagarde takes over for Mario Draghi at the ECB. How will this change of leadership affect monetary policy in the Eurozone?
We are not fans of Ms. Lagarde and think it's a mistake putting her at the helm of the ECB. Here's why: If I was to put Mario Draghi under truth serum and ask him why do we have negative interest rates, his answer would probably sound like this: «I thought when we went there in 2014/15 that it would be a shock therapy and everybody will start spending money like crazy. The hope was that we just shock the market into higher growth and we could then raise rates off negative. Instead, we confused everybody and negative rates became six months, two years and now almost five years. But if you are a central banker you can't admit a mistake. So we are kind of stuck with this policy.» That's what I think he would say.
And what would Ms. Lagarde say if she was put under truth serum?
I think she would say that negative rates are a good idea and that more negative rates are even a better idea. She genuinely believes that. I'm giving Mario Draghi the benefit of the doubt: He got stuck with this of his own making and he's trying to make lemonade out of a bunch of lemons. But in her view, this is lemonade.
Then again, how much further can the ECB go in terms of negative interest rates and QE? What do you think about the idea that Ms. Lagarde is going to promote a closer alignment of monetary and fiscal policy in Europe and some kind of fiscal stimulus?
Here's the problem with that: What do the populists in Europe not want? Fiscal union. No one is ready to say: «I'm European and my capital is Brussels.» If I'm French my capital is Paris, if I'm German my capital is Berlin, and if I'm Spanish my capital is Madrid. So they want her to help usher in something that is deeply unpopular. Therefore, I worry that she's got a policy idea - negative rates - that is out of step and I also worry that they want her to push something that's unpopular. This could be very bad in the long run for the ECB.
Looking at a broader picture, the risk of a global recession is rising. How healthy is the world economy?
It looks pretty bad for the globe. Germany might be in recession and Italy already had two quarters with negative GDP growth. The ECB has pushed rates into negative territory and I don't know what more they can do. Meanwhile, China is at a 28-year low in GDP growth and Japan's GDP growth is forecasted to be negative in Q4. So far, the data for the United States looks OK. But - to use the old metaphor - it's like you have a nice, well maintained house and every other house in your neighborhood is on fire. That's not a good place to be. I don't believe the US can survive if all those bad stories everywhere else continue.
What are the odds that a recession is coming to the US?
There is a lot more risk of a recession in the United States than people are giving it credit for. Today, I would put the probability at 40 to 50%. So just below 50-50, and that's pretty high. I'm willing to give the economy the benefit of the doubt and be on the good side of 50-50. But we're right on the limit and we're running out of time to stop a potential recession. If the global economy could bottom and recover that could help the US avoid a recession. But the longer we go without that happening and the more we see global PMI data disappointing we're not going to that right away.
How does this impact the outlook on the financial markets?
Central Banks are easing and that's dragging rates lower. This will affect the US eventually because we are all globally connected in a connected world: People have a hard time understanding that our rates are tied to everybody else's and they are going to pull us down. Today, in the G20 there is only one interest rate left that has a 2-handle on it: The US 30-year bond which is at 2.26%. Everything else is one, zero or negative. So if you're reaching for yield and you want a really high yield, it's 2.26%. This is a new area because we all remember when yields were double digits or at least 5%. Now, in Europe zero percent is a reach for yield. So you need to adjust to the relative world we live in and stop thinking about the world in absolute terms.
What does this mean for investors?
I'm bullish on bonds because the global economy is slowing. So, over the next several months, one of the best investments in its history might be sovereign debt. Even in Switzerland, the king of negative yields, total returns on those negative yielding bonds are up 30% or more. These are some of the best returns we have ever seen and over the next several months that will continue. That said, there's something I worry about: One of the most mean-reverting things in finance are total returns in fixed income. In other words: If you have one of the best years in terms of total returns, one of the worst years usually is the year before or the year after. Right now, fixed income managers in Europe and especially in Switzerland are knocking the cover off the ball because their portfolios are up 20% to 40% if they are really long bonds. But next year, or 2021 at the latest, could be one of the worst years ever.
How can investors navigate this challenging environment?
One of the things we learned from 2000 and 2008 is that the best thing to buy is to buy into a bubble: You make a ton of money real fast. The problem, of course, is trying to get out in whole and that's where we are with sovereign debt: I think that this negative yielding environment has some legs to run, but it is a very, very high risk / high reward type of environment.
What's going to happen when this monster bubble pops?
That's another perversion of negative interest rates: Negative interest rates could mean that the thing that the ECB wants - an economic recovery - creates such losses in European sovereign debt that you have a financial crisis. That's because when you get to low, zero or negative rates, little movements in interest rates mean gigantic price movements. In a recovery that shoots rates up, you could lose 20% or 30% of the value of your portfolio. You could be looking at horrific losses. So very short term, European sovereign debt as a trade is working. But when the economy bottoms that trade will blow up big time.
In that context: What's a promising trade if the economic picture brightens up?
What will work big time in Europe when the economy recovers is financial stocks. Right now, financials are the opposite: If you're in financials, you're suffering horribly, you're a masochist. But eventually, when the economy turns and rates go back positive, financials will be the best performer. So the trade in Europe is long sovereigns, and when things turn and the economy looks like it's recovering move into financials because they are going to be the biggest beneficiary of higher rates.
To get the timing exactly right is next to impossible. Why not buy European bank stocks right away?
The European bank stock index is at a 40-year low and so is the Japanese bank index. From a value perspective, they are extraordinary values. The problem is they were that three years ago, too, and you lost 60% of your money. Today, Deutsche Bank is trading at the same price it was trading at in the late 1970s, adjusted back to Deutschmark. So the last time Deutsche Bank was at these levels it wasn't located in the same country and it wasn't priced in the same currency. But when you have stocks that are down 90% and you buy them now and you're early, you can still lose two thirds of your money before they turn around. I would rather give up some of the downside and buy them on the other side when they are recovering - instead of the other way around, assuming I'm still employed as a money manager.
Where else do you spot opportunities?
You also want to play gold. If you look at a chart of the gold price over the last four years, it's identical to the amount of negative debt in the world. For 5000 years of human history, the argument against gold was that it had no yield. So why buy it? Well, in 2019 the argument for gold is that it's the high yielding alternative at zero.

Ravenheart by David Gemmell
The best novel in the Rigante series.
The proud Rigante are an oppressed people. Their days of glory hundreds of years in the past, they know are forced to bow their heads to the Varlish, who do everything to make the Rigante feel inferior. The Varlish profess they're a noble and pure race, but traces of these virtues are almost impossible to find. Rigante are not allowed to carry swords, have their own restricted sections at feasts, and are despised by nearly all Varlish. In public schools they're taught history, about the Varlish princes Bane and Connavar for instance, and they're forced to listen to the corrupt Cult of the Tree. Originally a pacifist and harmonic religion, The Tree Cult is now ruled by corrupt and evil men, who quickly resort to threats and torture. Kaelin Ring is a young Rigante, and inspired by his big uncle, he does his best to stay true to the Rigante ways and rebels against his teacher's lessons often. There are few Rigante left who can and are willing to stand up against the Varlish these days, most of them joined with the Black Rigante. Frequent hangings and other punishments keep most of them to fearful to end their oppression. With Kaelin being a descendant from Conn and Bane, it's no surprise that his temper gets the better of him from time to time. When he decides to take justice in his own hands after an atrocity he flees his old village, and moves to a remote farm. Here he comes in contact with the Black Rigante, and unknowingly he insults their leader gravely. Naturally this leads to a close friendship with the Black Rigante, and even love peeks around the corner!
The style of the Rigante series need not be introduced again, since all books have the same kind of main character, who starts out as a hateful youth but grows significantly when he matures. The oppressed Rigante and the Varlish façade of justice make for a great setting, and I just can't get it over my heart to spoil anything. Ravenheart truly is the best novel in the Rigante series, the conclusion one of the best and most touching I have ever read.

Ravenheart reader reviews
Wesley from United States
I read the first two (Sword in the Storm and Midnight Falcon) years before I picked up on the last two. I was so in love with the tales of Connavar and the Bastard Bane that I thought going forward 800 years from that time would be silly in order to relate the last two books with the first two. Boy was I wrong. I stayed awake at night reading. And when I wasn't reading it I was thinking about reading it. David Gemmell is such a natural at pulling the reader into his stories. I think he is vastly underrated in the US as an author and I can't wait to read more of his books. I would put the Rigante series as one of my favorite all time stories. Well done Sir Gemmell. You will be missed.
Ramesh from India
I just happened to read this series by David Gammel. Initially ii did not expect much when I started the book but once half way through I could not stop reading! As the reviewer he put it nicely, this book is so touching that it would make you cry. The story is beautifully portrayed and the characters are so lively. Entire Rigante series is great in that, it does not have strange creatures, monsters, giants, orcs, elves or dwarves, nor does it have dragons, magic system, etc. Despite this the story is wonderfully interesting and captivating. Your heart goes out to the heroes when they suffer or die. We need authors like David Gamell who would work magic in the words of the books without wizardy.

Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles' finale getting suspended is peak 2020...

Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports
Bless the poor Nationals Park grounds crew. They tried. That tarp just did not want to roll out when rain started to pick up in the sixth inning of Sunday afternoon's finale with the Baltimore Orioles in the nation's capital.
They raced to get it out, but just weren't able to, and the water pooled up in the infield quickly, rendering the field unplayable in no time at all.

— Nationals on MASN (@masnNationals) August 9, 2020
Two-plus hours later, about an hour and forty/forty-five ish minutes after the rain ended, both clubs decided to suspend the game.
"Per MLB rules," a press release announced, "the game between the Washington Nationals and the Baltimore Orioles has been suspended."
"It will resume on Friday at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The Nationals will still serve as the home team."
"The field was deemed unplayable," Nationals' manager Davey Martinez explained in his post game Zoom call. "So the game is suspended."
"We'll play in Baltimore on Friday," he added. "Other than that, I don't have any other details about what time or anything. We couldn't get the tarp on the field.
Me: 12:35 start! I'll have the whole afternoon off to read!

"I feel bad for our grounds crew, because personally, to me, these guys are the best if not one of the best, so it's just unfortunate that that happened."
Asked about the language of the team's official announcement of the suspension, Martinez said, "it was based on — it wasn't the actual rain — because obviously it did stop raining, it was the fact that we couldn't get the tarp on the field.
"There's a rule that states that because of mechanical error, the game is suspended."
How did everyone spend the two hours the game was delayed before it was suspended?
"Just watching the show out there," Stephen Strasburg told reporters after he put together a solid four innings of work on the mound against the O's before a five-run fifth ended his first start of the 2020 campaign.

The 32-year-old right-hander joked with the reporter who asked about how everyone spent the rain delay by correcting their word choice.
"I don't if you can call it a 'rain delay,'" Strasburg said. I think it was more of a tarp delay. So, yeah, pretty interesting, just add to the list of 2020."
His manager agreed.
"For me honestly it's part of this 2020 season, I mean, it really is," Martinez said.
"There [are] going to be days where you don't know what to expect. This is part of it. We've just got to keep moving on. Like I said, at the end of the game I told the guys, 'Hey, pack up, we're going to New York and getting ready to play tomorrow,' and that's all we can do."
The Nationals start a four-game set with the Mets in Citi Field tonight at 7:05 PM with Patrick Corbin on the mound for the visitors and Steven Matz starting for the home team. It's going to be 88° and sunny according to the current forecast, but check that tarp just in case, Citi Field folks.

STEEL PICKUP, 350CI WITH A/C, BRIGHT ORANGE PAINT, NICE/CLEAN INTERIOR, MUST SEE
It only gets better the digger you deep into this 1946 Chevrolet pickup. Beyond the electric orange exterior is a performance-built 350 V8 and a custom A/C interior. So this classic truck is powerful and comfortable enough to be your daily driver, that is, if you don't mind all the attention it draws.
This is the pickup truck that got American moving again after WWII. In fact, Chevy even acknowledged these more as a continuation of the Pre-War 1942 model year from a design and engineering standpoint after the break in production. Of course what you see here is far from an old style original. It takes this American hero, and transforms it into a very enjoyable American hot rod. While the paint is a big hit here in Tennessee, you don't have to be a Vols fan to appreciate this shade of orange. That's because the modern glow and shine instantly give off the impression of a superior quality build. To go with the orange luster is mirror-like chrome on the very cool wraparound and waterfall grille. There's also great brightwork on the bumpers, hood side vents, side step place, and even the tie-down loops for the bed. And speaking of back there, take notice how nicely the stained wood ... Please ask for the full description.

This is the pickup truck that got American moving again after WWII. In fact, Chevy even acknowledged these more as a continuation of the Pre-War 1942 model year from a design and engineering standpoint after the break in production. Of course what you see here is far from an old style original. It takes this American hero, and transforms it into a very enjoyable American hot rod. While the paint is a big hit here in Tennessee, you don't have to be a Vols fan to appreciate this shade of orange. That's because the modern glow and shine instantly give off the impression of a superior quality build. To go with the orange luster is mirror-like chrome on the very cool wraparound and waterfall grille. There's also great brightwork on the bumpers, hood side vents, side step place, and even the tie-down loops for the bed. And speaking of back there, take notice how nicely the stained wood gives this orange pickup some quiet distinction. But not all the details are so subtle; those 15-inch Pacer wheels are bold enough to draw as much attention as the paint.
Inside the custom work continues with a bench seat finished with modern bolstering and tan leather. So it offers far more comfort than anything that came out of the '40s. You're upgraded feeling continues with the tall shifter for your right hand, and the three-spoke wood steering wheel for your left. Beyond that are a full set of SW gauges set on a wood panel that matches the steering wheel and the lumber in the trunk bed for a very cool custom touch. As you gaze over the color-matched dashboard, you'll even spot controls for the Pioneer AM/FM/CD stereo with auxiliary input for the most music players. But for the feature you're going to love the most, you have to open the glovebox. That's where the controls are hidden for the air conditioning that's running modern R134a for easy servicing.
You're going to need sunglasses just to stare directly at the 350 cubic-inch V8. The valve covers, intake, air grabber, brackets, and so much more have been finished off with polished components. So you know they're going to love this one at the car shows. But beneath the flash is also some serious substance. This V8 has performance components like a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock performance intake, and long tube headers (they're painted black and run down the fenders to really help highlight the polished components of this small block.) Sure, it makes a terrific rumble out of the dual exhaust, but this Chevy is actually a thoughtful brute. For example, there's also an aluminum radiator with electric fan, so you're pickup can stay cool even if you have the A/C running in traffic. Plus, there are great driving features like the TH350 automatic transmission, front disc brakes, and an upgraded Mustang II-style independent front suspension.
There has been a lot of thought and investment in this extremely well-built custom. If you had the time and a pile of money, you would build it this way, too. So instead if you're quick enough to snatch this deal, you get to take the shortcut AND pay a whole lot less. Call today!!!

Australian PM defends shipwreck rescue operation
7:34 am on 17 December 2010
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard is defending the time it took for authorities to respond to the fatal Christmas Island shipwreck.
The death toll has risen to 30 with the recovery on Thursday of the bodies of a man in his 20s and a boy.
The Australian Federal government has said up to 100 passengers were on board the wooden Indonesian fishing boat which smashed into rocks at Christmas Island on Wednesday morning.
Forty-two people survived. The passengers were believed to be mostly from Iraq and Iran.
Australian customs officials released a timeline showing it took just over an hour for inflatable rescue boats to arrive at the site, from the time border protection officials were first notified.
Ms Gillard says border protection authorities got rescuers to the crash site as quickly as possible, in what were extreme weather conditions.

Cambridge United FC
New Cambridge United formation is a real diamond – Shaun Derry
Shaun Derry is keen for his Cambridge United players to be flexible and able to operate in different formations
Aaron Mason
Cambridge United midfielder James Dunne.
Diamonds may not be forever for Cambridge United, but Shaun Derry is considering operating with a midfield one more often in the future.
United switched to just such a system for the second half of last weekend's 2-0 defeat at Luton and despite the loss, Derry felt it had worked well.
With another central midfielder added to the squad on transfer deadline day in the shape of Liam O'Neil from Chesterfield, it provides another option for Derry to try on a more regular basis.
He said: "I thought the diamond worked well for us in the second half.
"We went up and matched a team which have had success with that system this year and I thought we played very well in that second 45 minutes.
"We really put Luton on the back foot not just with the energy we played with, but with all the quality.
"I think we've definitely got players who can cater for different systems.
"I keep saying I don't want us to be a football club that's just strict, playing in straight lines, a 4-4-2, a 4-5-1, or whatever it's going to be.
"You can talk about all the systems in the world until the cow comes home, but the key for us is we play with aggression."
O'Neil's arrival means United have several players jockeying for the midfield berths with James Dunne, Max Clark, Conor Newton and Paul Lewis also in the mix, but Derry felt it was a healthy situation.
He said: "Sometimes I think you need competition for places getting as many good players into the club as possible and making sure this window was all about attracting the right type of players.
"It's that transitional period where you're not just building for now and hopefully for what this season can deliver, but for the future as well, so in terms of juggling players, that's my job. I have to be very sure and make the right calls.
"For the lads themselves, I've been in their situation where a manager has brought in a player in my position and it's galvanised me as a player.
"I've always looked upon it as another task, I was never a shrinking violet that went to sleep and felt that my career was ended because you never know what's around the corner in football.
"We've seen numerous times this year with injuries and form and that's probably been the one position in my squad I looked upon needing a bit more competition for."
