He mistakenly thought his "parameters" for a settlement "in response to each side's essential needs" outlined last Sunday before the Israel Policy Forum in New York can achieve more than hiding the dirt under the American rug.
On the other hand, the lame-duck American president who leaves office on Jan. 20 has spelled out new ideas or positions that have never been part of the American diplomatic lexicon – an achievement of Palestinian diplomacy which saw its finest hour when President Arafat gave his qualified nod to the American ideas. No longer were the Palestinians described as the spoilers except, of course, by some dogmatic friends of Israel here.
Whatever the result of this desperate American attempt to come up with – a new "declaration of principles" or "a presidential statement" – to crown Clinton's tarnished legacy or win an election for Ehud Barak, the Palestinian side has managed to climb another important rung towards achieving the full goal of self-determination and statehood.
Robert Satloff, the executive director of The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, decried the "bold" American initiative which he saw as "vague" and "unclear on many points." He pointed out that this was the "first time," for example, that a US president has specified what percentage of the West Bank Israel should relinquish, and what the resolution of the Palestinian refugee problem should be.
Although Satloff was commenting on the published minutes of the meetings Clinton had with the Palestinian and Israeli representatives in late December, and before Clinton's remarks on Sunday, he wondered whether the precedent- setting points raised by the outgoing American president can be disavowed by President-elect George W. Bush.
Although Palestinians were angered by Clinton's finessing of the Palestine refugees' "right of return" – they have the right to live in a Palestinian homeland (in the West Bank and Gaza but not to Israel) – his more serious violation is his back-handed treatment of continued Israeli settlements on Arab land in violation of UN Resolutions 242 and 338, the guiding principles of the peace process launched in Madrid in 1991.
In fact, the Clinton Administration has never admonished the Barak government for continued expansion of Jewish settlement at a pace faster than the Netanyahu government.
What Clinton and his friends in Israel have failed to grasp are Palestinian apprehensions that have mushroomed as a result of the long-winded Oslo process where Israeli foot-dragging and failure to live up to their commitments under the interim agreements.
There were undoubtedly many singular points made in the Clinton's presentation but the lack of specificity and absence of crucial maps have, among other things, doomed this last-ditch effort.
The Bush Administration, and a newly elected leader in Israel, should pick up the pieces and broaden, as agreed, the search for a Middle East settlement. The American secretary of state-designate, Colin Powell, can start the ball rolling soon after he visits Kuwait next month for the festivities marking the tenth anniversary of the country's liberation. President Clinton has already paved part of the way.


"Would you tell me, please," said Alice, a little timidly, "why are you painting those roses?"
"Five and Seven said nothing, but looked at Two. Two began in a low voice, Why the fact is, you see, Miss, this here ought to have been a red rose tree, and we put a white one in by mistake..."
The past week I've been working on decorations for a birthday party. I'm trying to make most of the decorations out of newspaper. This is one of the ideas I came up with. I feel like it is missing something, perhaps some newspaper leaves. Suggestions welcomed.
Easy directions to make the newspaper roses below.
1. I first made the paper roses the same way I make tissue flowers. You can find the directions, here.
2. Tape the newspaper rose to the floral wire. Wrap the bottom of the rose with the floral tape to cover up the tape and any seams.
3. Paint roses with acrylic paint. I chose to leave some of the newspaper showing. If you want all the newspaper painted, paint the newspaper before you make the flower.
Glitter. They need a little sparkle. Just on the edges.
Fantastic idea. Love your creativity.
Neat idea! Creating and recyling, all in one step!
wow, i just learned something new today. I had never heard of zakka until i checked out your blog. It totally sums up my philosophy and I will be learning more about it. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Those are amazing! I love how aged they looked.
I *love* these! I think they are adorable. :) You said you think there's something missing - why don't you try putting something in the bottom of the vases? Maybe crumpled up newspapers? Or try running the newspapers through a paper shredder and putting the shreds in the vase.
I think it's great as-is, but just a thought!
Thanks for sharing. This is darling.
What is that stuff people add to flowers? Maybe some fake baby's breath or pressed green leaves? I know when D brings me roses there are always some long, soft greenery in the mix. Great idea though. If I ever get around to my Alice costume I'll have to come back to this.
My first thought, like woolanthropy, was superfine glitter. If you sprinkle it on while the acrylic is wet, it should stay. Another easy option might be "Glimmermist" spray which is sold in scrapbook stores - give it a hint of iridescence.
I'm sure you can guess how much I absolutely love these...being such a newspaper fan myself! I love them just as they are, but a few paper leaves would be a nice touch.
Today (January 27) I posted an entry on my blog with a link to this tutorial.
Would yu let me know if that's OK?
i would add something to the vase, i'm a fan of coffee beans myself, but the shredded paper sounds great too. i would also distress the edges of the roses with a darker red or even a little dark brown.
either way they are awesome!!!
These are amazing! I'm going to make a bouquet tonight!
i'm having trouble making these look like flowers how yours do, instead of just rolls of newspaper. when i try to make them poofier and more flower like, the just unfolds back into it's rolled up, un-pretty form. help? i thought they'd look really pretty in my bedroom, my desk looks kinda bare.
Sorry you're having trouble making these. When you start to roll the newspaper separate the layers at the same time, to keep them separated. Hope this helps. Wish I could just show you myself.
I'm making these for my graduation party centerpieces! I'm going to leave some of the roses plain and paint some yellow since my school colors are black and gold. This is the best centerpiece idea I found that fits me. I'm going to college for journalism and my invites had a newsprint background so it's perfect! I'm also making a woven newspaper basket for my cards to pull it all together!
I am trying to adhere newspaper on canvas and then paint over it with acrylics, but I want some of the newspaper to show, as it does with your roses. I have had no luck with this. Every stroke covers the newspaper entirely. Should I use watercolors or another type of paint? Thank you!

We call them New Year's Resolutions. These are our plans we make at the beginning of a new year, so that we can see, in 12 months time, what's been done from our list. From 'I'll stop smoking' to 'I'll save 10% of what I make', anything can go into our plan. Some consider them to be useless, others can't live without them. While it's always a good idea to make changes RIGHT AWAY and not wait for 12 months to do this, starting your year with a good plan can't be wrong either.
Two years ago I was starting out as a freelance web designer and was looking for success inspiration anywhere I could. One such success model was a dentist I know, who runs several clinics in few European countries. He's a workaholic who never accepts anything under 'perfect' whether it's about his performances or his teams'. I don't really dream of sleeping 4 hours a night like he does, but there's something that really inspired me in the way he's preparing himself for a new year.
When the year is starting out he's making plans: financial, professional etc. Then, at the end of December, he's looking at his plans and tries to see what worked out well, where he made mistakes, what he can improve in the next year.
I've lived year after year with no plans or resolutions for 30 years. It was OK. I was mediocre, if you ask me now.
Not being able to rely on anyone but myself forced me to really plan better. 2009 was a horrible year for me (at least that's how I see it). I lost my job, had a cancer scare and also was forced to start as a freelancer with no money and nothing to help me succeed but my despair and talent for web design. When the year ended and I was on my way to become a successful freelancer (had 4-5 VERY hard months, but did earn a pretty buck), I decided to start 2010 with a better plan.
We traveled a lot in 2010 (6 months in NYC) and I did have some bad months too, but overall the year ended well. I was reaching my goals and it made me happy. In 2011 we traveled again a lot (7 months abroad: NYC again, now we're in Spain), but my goals were again reached, even if they were pretty big. I knew what I had to do and I did it.
I am not living aimlessly anymore. I have resolutions I try to achieve any day of the year, I have plans regarding money and my business. I always had issues with money and now I try to curb my spending and save more. Having these goals doesn't allow me to be too 'relaxed' and this means I am achieving things.
Every 12 months I know what I had to do and what I've done. What went wrong, where and why I made mistakes. For 2011 I reached all my goals (save 10%, make x amount of money, re-organize my network etc.) and I'm prepared for this next year with bigger goals: earn more, save at least 15%, earn x amount in website advertising revenue etc.
So I'm starting 2012 today with a serious plan. I hope you're doing the same and I wish you to have ALL YOUR DREAMS AND PLANS COME TRUE.

Finally got my hands on a copy of the compilation CD I had the pleasure to make art for. As a nice bonus, 'Shooting Star' one of the tracks from my side project the band 'Mulga's Room' is included on the CD. Whoot!


With Rackspace Managed Security and Compliance Assistance for GCP, Rackspace is now a leading managed security services provider that offers services on all of the major public cloud platforms. In IDC's 2017 CloudView Survey of over 6,000 enterprise respondents, nearly 50 percent indicated concerns about security in the cloud, and about 40 percent cited superior security capabilities available from service providers as a major incentive to move to the cloud.¹ With RMS, Rackspace security experts help customers with strategic planning for best practice multi-cloud security, tactical day-to-day security monitoring and threat analysis to deter, detect and respond to potential threats around the clock.
Controlling cloud costs is a leading challenge for enterprises at each stage of their cloud journey. Fortunately, companies utilizing a public cloud can benefit from the strategic partnership between Google and Rackspace. Google Cloud Platform is a state-of-the-art, cost-friendly public cloud, and Google has selected Rackspace as its first managed services provider for GCP, based on Rackspace's vast cloud expertise and dedication to a fanatical customer experience. With Managed GCP by Rackspace, companies can maximize their cost savings on Google Cloud while also saving on hiring, training and retaining top talent to operate their cloud operations. In this post we will focus on the ten most significant cost-saving opportunities.
Performance testing and benchmarking of cloud computing platforms is a complex task, compounded by the differences between providers and the use cases of cloud computing users. IaaS services are utilized by a large variety of industries and, performance metrics cannot be understood by simply representing cloud performance with a single value. When selecting a cloud computing provider, IT professionals consider many factors: compatibility, performance, cost, security and more. Performance is a key factor that drives many others including cost. In many cases, 3 primary bottlenecks affect server performance: central processing unit (CPU) performance, disk performance, and internal network performance.
When is Managed Colocation a Good Fit?
Managed Colocation, is the hosting choice of many businesses because it provides the desired level of control while offloading some of the inconvenience, financial risk and upfront capital.
Determining which model works best for your organization means understanding the following requirements: Technical: Can the workload actually be hosted in the cloud? Compliance: Regulation may determine where and how their data and workloads can be run and stored. Security: Each workload has separate security requirements, creating challenges to run in the public cloud.
Watch as industry experts discuss strategies for overcoming design, deployment, and monitoring challenges in a Microsoft Cloud Platform environment. They examine real-life situations in which Rackspace architected and deployed Microsoft Private Cloud at scale, across multiple geographies. You'll get first-hand what Red Hat has learned along the way, such as how to approach the integration of Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) functionality, designing resilient architectures and failover, as well as building for scale.
Join our featured speakers, Rackspace and 10th Magnitude on a round table discussion on the concepts of cloud form factors leading to hybrid cloud, the advantages of using hybrid cloud technologies, and a look at how the Microsoft Azure platform enables efficient and effective hybrid cloud computing.
In this world of always-on services, the systems that support them must be designed to be both highly available and resilient. Today, many IT leaders are looking for their applications and infrastructure to be covered by the following: • Defined SLA¹s for workloads and applications • Mapped failure points and impact of these on the business • Regularly measure application and Infrastructure health Access this white paper to discover your resiliency, and learn how to create a resilient architecture on Microsoft Azure cloud platform.
A Microsoft Private Cloud enables businesses to balance the benefits of cloud computing with the benefits of a private data center. Building and maintaining a Microsoft® Cloud Platform environment can be challenging, though, and most organizations don't have the resources to effectively manage the environment. This white paper examines how businesses can address those challenges and leverage the benefits of a Microsoft Private Cloud by using Rackspace to host and manage their Microsoft Cloud Platform environment.

Sterling Backus, American physicist, is together with his son, and for more than a year, printing in 3D a supercar full-size inspired by the spectacular model Lamborghini Aventador. They do it at their own backyard and garage and have already invested around 20,000 dollars in the project.
Sterling's son sitting on the driver seat of ther own Lamborghini Aventador replica.
Except for the chassis, the engine, the transmission and certain parts such as the interior structure of the door, father and son 3D printed the car and its complete body, with a total of 220 thermoplastic coils.
Lamborghini Aventador replica. The assembly process.
The body panels, the taillights, the headlights, and even the air vents, are now ready. In addition, Backus encapsulated in carbon fiber some of the printed parts, to ensure greater safety when driving the car.
According to Sterling, it is an educational and motivating project. Therefore, he wants to show the car in local schools so that children get interested in science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics.
But, what about the intellectual property of this Lamborghini Aventador replica?
Well, the physicist considers that, although the design of his supercar is based on the Lamborghini Aventador, it is not about plagiarism or piracy. "We have changed each panel significantly, to add our style to the design". Backus revealed to the 3D Printing Media Network. "Also, no molds are made, and no part is for sale, this is a unique project, and not for sale," he insisted.
Here's a video with more details about this awesome Father and Son project:

Dickens and the Law

Dickens' first experience with the law probably came in 1824 when his father, John Dickens, was arrested for debt and imprisoned in the Marshalsea Prison. After six months John Dickens was released , but Charles stored up events, people, and impressions in his memory and transformed them into materials for novels, particularly Little Dorrit.

Dickens and Philanthropy
When I think of Dickens, I think of him first as a novelist, but also as a reformer and a philanthropist. The first act of philanthropy I can find (outside of helping family members) is his effort to raise money to assist the family of his first publisher, John Macrone. After Macrone published Sketches by Boz, First Series in early 1836, Dickens signed an agreement and received £200 to produce a … [Read more...]

Q: WPF Documents: How to create paragraphs of "underlines" on which you can write answers to questionnaires I am creating an application that is meant to print out forms meant to be filled in by humans writing on paper. These documents follow a question and answer style. Typically you have paragraphs with an "underline" style onto which a free-form answer of paragraph length can be written.
How would you create this using WPF Documents?
Here is a mockup of what I mean, done using Word with tables and tabstops:
mock up http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/9350/questionnaire.png

A: I finally found a way to achieve this, thought I would share.
Create the outside table with two rows and two columns like you would expect.
For the underlines, create three different tables, each with only one row and column, with a border applied only to the bottom.
This is how it looks in code:
        for (int i = 1; i < pQuestionSpec.NumberOfLines; i++)
        {
            Table innerT = new Table();
            var col1 = new TableColumn();

            col1.Width = new GridLength(1, GridUnitType.Star);
            innerT.Columns.Add(col1);

            var innerRowGroup = new TableRowGroup();
            var innerRow = new TableRow();

            var cell2 = new TableCell();
            cell2.BorderThickness = new Thickness(0, 0, 0, 1);
            cell2.BorderBrush = Brushes.Black;
            cell2.Blocks.Add(new Paragraph());

            innerRow.Cells.Add(cell2);
            innerRowGroup.Rows.Add(innerRow);

            innerT.RowGroups.Add(innerRowGroup);

            cell.Blocks.Add(innerT);
        }

The Morean Arts Center presents many unique classes and workshops for individuals of all ages. People from all around the world contribute to HubPages by sharing phrases and pictures Get to know us a bit by reading what on a regular basis folks must say about Crafts & Handiwork , and Coloring Pages for Kids The breadth of content on HubPages is huge, however each article is particular in its personal particular manner! Martial arts are growing increasingly more common as they provide both stress relief and an satisfying technique to get in shape. Finally we counselors shocked the youngsters with a celebration, celebrating and commemorating our time at AXP.
Over the previous 7-months, OutsiderXchanges, a visible arts undertaking based on collaboration, reciprocal learning and inventive alternate has brought collectively six learning disabled artists and six contemporary visible artists in one studio house. I suggest every grownup to hunt out a good martial arts college and note the positive positive aspects for themselves. I wish to recommend tae kwon do as probably the greatest martial arts training program for younger girls. It additionally acknowledges that Dr. Young relied on some formalities he learned in some Korean martial arts to formulate his American art.
Because many of the traditional arts are based on ancestor worship, there is a heritage in these arts that extends even to right now.

Some lessons teach self defense that works and others teach exercise drills with martial arts foundations, however much less practical data. I'm so glad my children are avid readers – it paves the way in which for good writers and check takers! Kids will love these New Year crafts actions they'll make forward of time or as part of your New Year's Eve or First Night or New Year's Day celebration. And you possibly can make sure that more language arts expertise are being touched on through the tangent.
I've created a full spectrum of rainbow arts and crafts: tie-dye, embroidery patterns, printables and colorful arts and crafts since I was a child and I do not suppose I'll ever get bored with them.

The Save the Arts marketing campaign is organised by the London branch of the Turning Point Network, a nationwide consortium of over 2,000 arts organisations and artists dedicated to working together and discovering new methods to support the arts within the UK. The kids are going to like making this zentangle artwork, and so they'll be so happy with how lovely their pumpkin art will turn out. In addition to 25 venture sites all through Europe, Bremen is the sixth European ARTS department. In conclusion, from martial arts coaching comes a love of studying and an understanding of the deeper meaning of learning. We have a giant Spring Jubilee Juried Arts and Crafts Fair in our town the primary full weekend in April.


For most of us, the closest we will ever come to having a Picasso in our house is a print, a fridge magnet or perhaps a novelty mug.
But a competition being run by Switzerland's Beyeler Foundation museum and Swiss telecommunications giant Swisscom is giving one Swiss household the chance to take possession of an original painting by the Spanish artist for day.
The picture in question is Pablo Picasso's 1939 painting 'Buste de femme au chapeau (Dora)'. The artwork is a portrait of the painter's lover and muse, the French artist Dora Maar.
It will be loaned out on April 16th.
People hoping to win the unusual prize need to submit an entry here by April 1st. They must explain in detail what their plans would be if they had a Picasso in their home for a day. Entries must also include a photo or video.
The winner will be chosen by public voting, with a jury having the final say.
The #myprivatepicasso competition comes as the Beyeler Foundation in Basel stages a major exhibition devoted to the art of the young Picasso during his so-called Blue and Rose periods, from 1901 and 1906. The 'Buste de femme au chapeau' painting is currently being displayed as part of the related Picasso Panorama exhibition.
"We want to make art accessible and bring it closer to a broader public who maybe don't regularly visit museums," said Beyeler Foundation director Sam Keller of the unusual competition.
Swisscom is providing security for the painting during its visit to a Swiss home. To this aim, the company has developed a 'smart' frame with features including a tracker, temperature and humidity meters, and a laser that will set off an alarm if people get too close to the painting.


The Government's Energy Access Program (VEAP) is on track for implementation this year. The project, which will see distribution of grid extensions on Malekula and Santo has been made possible through a loan and grant funding arrangement between the Vanuatu Government, the Asian Development Bank and the Strategic Climate Fund (SCF) at a total project value of USD15.1 million, or approximately Vt1.5 billion.

Costa Rica Textile Company uses Battery Storage from Rolls Royce
Rolls-Royce has provided the technology required for textile company Proquinal in Alajuela to successfully commission the largest integrated energy system in Costa Rica. The system includes both battery storage and solar installations at the site. Two 40-foot- MTU battery containers from Rolls-Royce with a total storage capacity of 4,275 kWh and an output of 1,500 kVA are used to meet peak electricity demand, increase the company's own use of solar power, and relieve pressure on the public grid.
690 photovoltaic panels with 255kWp capacity have been installed by solar provider Swissol on covered parking spaces at Proquinal and connected to the battery containers to support the system. By generating CO2-free electricity, they help prevent the emission of more than 285 tons of CO2 per year compared to conventional electricity generation. Randall Zúñiga, Director of Energy at Costa Rica's Ministry of Environment and Energy, congratulated Proquinal for this significant investment which will help further the decarbonization of the country. Costa Rica has set itself the goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. For further information see the IDTechEx report on Batteries for Stationary Energy Storage 2021-2031.
The MTU EnergyPacks are mainly charged from the grid at night, during favorable electricity tariff periods, and in the afternoon. The stored energy is used for Proquinal Costa Rica's textile production process during the two peak periods in the morning and evening, when energy costs are highest. Since electricity is 4.5 times more expensive during peak hours than the nighttime rate, the new energy system will allow the company to achieve savings of approximately US $41,000 per month, which will allow a payback of the investment in a period of 4.3 years.
Moisés Hernández, General Director of Proquinal in Costa Rica stated: "The smart use of energy with our new system is a great step forward towards clean and affordable electricity generation and a contribution to a better use of renewable energy in the country."

...We've Got "MixedFlation" and "ExportFlation"
Many people have made persuasive arguments for inflation.
See, for example, my roundup from 2009, and Gonzolo Lira's recent essay arguing that there is no political will to raise interest rates, and so commodities have become the safe haven investment (replacing bonds).
Many others have made persuasive arguments for deflation.
See, for example, my post from 2009, and Charles Hugh Smith's recent essay arguing that mild deflation is good for the powers-that-be, and so they will make it happen (part II).
Too broad a brush because the economy is not a monolith … different asset classes can move in different directions at the same time.
Too narrow a focus because you can't analyze what's happening in the U.S. in a vacuum in a highly global economy.
Some people think that some prices will go up at the same time that others go down.
Are we going to see rising prices or falling prices? Of course, it depends on the asset class – and in what currency you are measuring.
Falling prices in assets associated with debt – houses and financial stocks – and rising prices in things which you buy with cash – food, energy and some imported goods.
Anything typically financed by debt is likely to see its prices plunge dramatically, like houses and cars, as the ongoing Great Bear bust continues to destroy the gross excesses of debt via higher long rates. Conversely, anything not typically 'paid for' with debt, including groceries and general living expenses, is almost certain to rise in the coming years. We are staring down a brutal environment of widespread inflation marked by various sectors witnessing falling prices as debt leverage implodes.
So we may very well experience both inflation and deflation.
You know from experience that when you're in a national park, movie theater or some other contained place, prices are higher than elsewhere.
Basically, the stores in such places know you can't go somewhere else, so they can charge you what I call "got you" prices. In other words, you're a captive buyer, and they've "got you".
I've noticed the same thing with health care costs. My family's health care premiums increased 6% last year – on top of the 6% increase the year before.
This is "got you" prices. The health care industry knows that Americans are desperate for health care, and that if they raise prices, people will pay.
I've previously pointed out that inflation versus deflation is not necessarily an all-or-nothing proposition: we can have inflation in some asset classes and deflation in others.
So my current theory is that we will have deflation for some time in most asset classes, but inflation in the "got you" classes of basic necessities that everyone needs – food, energy, and health care.
Inflation, or deflation, the argument rages; yet on CNBC last Thursday I opined that we are currently experiencing both… It appears to me that the country's top quintile of wage-earners (the folks with the most assets) are experiencing deflation as their home prices have collapsed, their 401K's are substantially below where they were in October 2007, their bonuses have been "whacked," and the list goes on.
Meanwhile, the lower-income households are experiencing inflation with their heath care costs rising, food prices escalating, insurance premiums climbing, etc.
Our "bet" is that the inflationary forces will eventually win out because that's the way it has always played since the Great Depression.
But that is not controversial. Indeed, even the greatest advocates of the deflation theory say we may eventually get inflation. For example, David Rosenberg says that deflationary periods can last years before inflation kicks in.
Despite the seemingly tame headline inflation numbers, consumers never seem to see price declines in certain categories like education and health. For instance, prescription drug inflation escalated to 5% from less than 3% in 2007 and 2008.
The price increase of commodities is caused by the increased money flow (via loose monetary policy) chasing them. On the other hand, the growth of economy is tempered with high unemployment and decreasing purchasing power. This has resulted in a greater amount of money directed toward essential items (inflation) and away from non-essential items and things required credit to buy such as house and cars (deflation).
Producer Price Index (PPI) for finished goods was up 5.5% year-over-year. Further up the supply chain, signs of inflation are even more worrisome.
The PPI for intermediate goods increased 8.6% year-over-year in April, while core PPI for crude materials, excluding food and energy, shot up 60% year-over-year in April (Chart 2).
Meanwhile, the Purchasing Manager Index (PMI) report shows manufacturing sector expanded in May for the 10th consecutive month, and the overall economy grew for the 13th consecutive month. Backlogs are also increasing which further points to the inflationary pressure in the pipeline.
While all of that money Federal Reserve pumped into the system could in theory cause inflation … weak banks and slack in the economy would weigh against that. Indeed, it is likely that crude material price increases could begin to move down the supply chain; however, end markets are still too weak to allow a full price increase.
So, in the near term, biflation could be around through possibly 2012 with pockets of inflation seen in certain sectors such as energy and feedstock chemicals, and deflation/low inflation in other sectors, netted to a moderate headline inflation number.
I have seen many reports of rising food, commodity, energy and healthcare costs. But housing is double-dipping, and wages are declining.
So despite what die-hard inflationists or deflationists might say (and I respect both camps), things are actually mixed.
Given that speculators drove up the price of oil last year, it is possible that – especially in a stagnant economy – speculators could drive up the prices of some asset classes and drive others down.
The Fed's easy money policies (including, but not limited to quantitative easing), asset purchases and other policies are sending a lot of hot money flows abroad.
In fact, America has been massively exporting inflation.
China renewed an attack on quantitative easing, citing the risk of increased prices in emerging economies, a day after the Group of 20 nations said the markets can adopt regulatory steps to cope.
China "doesn't support" the monetary easing that causes "imported" inflation in developing countries, Commerce Minister Chen Deming told a forum today in Macau, a Chinese special autonomous region. The capital inflows increase the risk of "asset bubbles," Jin Zhongxia, deputy director general of the international department at the People's Bank of China, said at the same forum.
Major reserve-currency issuing countries excessively print money to get out of their own economic difficulties, posing a policy dilemma for emerging economies," Jin said in Macau today, without naming any countries. "That will impose greater pressure on capital inflows, bigger bubbles in asset markets and inflationary pressure." Capital flows into emerging markets are running at $575 billion a year, 20 percent higher than before the world financial crisis, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said in September.
Countries from Brazil and Indonesia to South Korea imposed restrictions on investment inflows aimed at defusing the danger of hot money, or capital seeking short-term gains. The G-20 called on international regulators to compile a report on best practices on financial-security policies, including capital-flow tools.
So not only some asset classes rising and some declining in America, but a portion of the effects from American monetary policies are felt abroad, instead of within the U.S.
Over the last few months I've noted repeatedly that THE key issue for the financial markets is the ongoing tension building between the Fed's pro-inflation policy and China's anti-inflation policy.
China's not the only one. Both Russia and Brazil have recently entered into the "anti-inflation fray" as the below stories attest ….
In plain terms, our esteemed Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke is about to find his policies running face first into a BRIC wall. He's been exporting inflation abroad to the emerging markets all the while claiming it doesn't exist. With growing civil unrest due to soaring food and energy prices the emerging markets are now fighting back [by raising interest rates].
Andy Xie agrees, arguing that 2011 will be a show-down between China's efforts to curb it's inflation and America's efforts to export it's inflation.
Indeed, a prominent Chinese pro-democracy activist says that inflation will cause the collapse of the current Chinese regime unless it is put in check.


Two professors and a clinical graduate student from SMU's Department of Psychology will travel halfway around the world to help the Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Women University (SBBWU) of Peshawar, Pakistan, host an international psychology conference in Islamabad on Saturday, Dec. 12, 2015.
The conference, "Advancing Women Issues: Local and Global Directions," will feature 55 speakers and 400 participants from across the region. It's the culminating effort of a three-year partnership between SMU and SBBWU supported by a $1.2 million U.S. State Department grant.
At the conference, Holden will present the SMU and SBBWU's joint research on trauma in Peshawar, where the threat of a terrorist's bomb is never far from mind. During a Friday, Dec. 11 workshop, SMU psychology professor Lorelei Rowe and graduate student Rose Ashraf will present the latest version of Rowe's popular psychological assessment tool, SCID-5, which helps doctors diagnose their patients through an interview-like examination process.
Other presenters will focus on topics such as promoting the well-being of women and children in Pakistan and the impact of Nepal's earthquake on Nepalese women and children.
The SMU-SBBWU partnership is one of 20 funded by the State Department. All 20 partnerships connect American universities with universities in Pakistan or Afghanistan. SMU's grant also brought SBBWU students and faculty to SMU, where they interacted with SMU students and faculty in an exchange of ideas and education.

Apple acquires Beats Electronics for $3 billion
B. Steele|05.28.14

In this article: acquisition, apple, beats, beatselectronics, beatsmusic, headphones, music, musicstreaming, poll, portableaudio, speakers, wedgies
Apple is making things official: Dr. Dre's Beats Electronics belongs to Cupertino, and it cost them $3 billion. Rumors had circulated that CEO Tim Cook was interested in nabbing up the audio accessory and music-streaming outfit, corroborated by a beer-drenched video in which Dre himself declared that he had become "the first billionaire in hip-hop." And now, after Financial Times had already let the cat out of the bag, we have Apple's side of the story. As expected, co-founders Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre (Andre Young) will join Cook and VP of Internet Software and Services Eddy Cue, but their exact job titles haven't been revealed just yet.
Despite rumors that Apple was only interested in Beats Music in an effort to boost a decline in iTunes numbers, the deal includes both the hardware and the streaming software sectors of Dr. Dre's business. And it's Apple's largest purchase ever. "Music is such an important part of all of our lives and holds a special place within our hearts at Apple," noted Cook. "That's why we have kept investing in music and are bringing together these extraordinary teams so we can continue to create the most innovative music products and services in the world." That doesn't rule out selling the headphone and speaker portion of the acquisition down the road, but it seems that for now, the folks at Apple are interested in the whole lot.
"I've always known in my heart that Beats belonged with Apple," said Iovine, who's also Beats' CEO. "The idea when we started the company was inspired by Apple's unmatched ability to marry culture and technology. Apple's deep commitment to music fans, artists, songwriters and the music industry is something special." Of course, the purchase -- which includes $2.6 billion in cash and $400 million in stock -- is subject to the requisite regulatory approvals, but it's expected to close by late September.
"I've always known in my heart that Beats belonged with Apple."
As you might expect, the Beats duo will be tasked with the next wave of Apple's music products, but in an interview with The New York Times, Cook didn't offer up any details. "They're going to be coming up with ways of features that blow your mind," he said in the interview, "and products you haven't thought of yet, and seeing around the next corner to articulate the way to take music to an even higher level than it is now." While Apple was once at the helm of the digital music age, it has lost considerable momentum to services like Spotify, Rdio and Pandora. For now, it seems that Beats and Apple will keep their products separate until those new projects are complete, as the Cupertino-based outfit isn't sharing any preliminary plans for any hardware that it will release or exactly how a subscription service may factor into its existing audio efforts. Initial comments from Apple VP Eddy Cue seemingly confirm that Beats Music and iTunes will remain separate items as well. We'll also have to wait and see if the highly-anticipated Detox album will finally launch as an iTunes/Beats Music exclusive.
Sharing a laugh with Jimmy, Dre, and @cue. Excited to welcome the #Beats team to #Apple. It's all about the music. pic.twitter.com/ZwyWgHFwhO
- Tim Cook (@tim_cook) May 28, 2014
To celebrate, Beats Music has already updated its iOS app, dropping the cost of an annual subscription to $100 (a $20 discount) and extending the free trial window to two weeks. What's more, Tim Cook has confirmed to Financial Times that the streaming service will still be available to folks on Android and Windows Phone after the deal goes through.
Apple buys Beats. Thoughts?

(September 2000 and after): Secret Service Has Air Surveillance Capabilities
It is reported that the US Secret Service is using an "air surveillance system" called Tigerwall. This serves to "ensure enhanced physical security at a high-value asset location by providing early warning of airborne threats." Tigerwall "provides the Secret Service with a geographic display of aircraft activity and provides security personnel long-range camera systems to classify and identify aircraft. Sensor data from several sources are fused to provide a unified sensor display." [US Department of Defense, 2000; US Department of the Navy, 9/2000, pp. 28 ] Among its responsibilities, the Secret Service protects America's highest elected officials, including the president and vice president, and also provides security for the White House complex. [US Congress, 5/1/2003] Its largest field office with over 200 employees is in New York, in Building 7 of the World Trade Center. [Tech TV, 7/23/2002] Whether the Secret Service, in New York or Washington, will make use of Tigerwall on 9/11 is unknown. Furthermore, in New York the Secret Service has a Stinger missile secretly stored in the WTC, to be used to protect the president if the city were attacked when he visited. Presumably it keeps this is in Building 7, where its field office is. [Weiss, 2003, pp. 379] As well as Tigerwall, the Secret Service appears to have other air surveillance capabilities. Counterterrorism "tsar" Richard Clarke will describe that on 9/11, the Secret Service had "a system that allowed them to see what FAA's radar was seeing." [Clarke, 2004, pp. 7] Barbara Riggs, a future deputy director of the Secret Service who is in its Washington, DC headquarters on 9/11, will describe the Secret Service "monitoring radar" during the attacks. [PCCW Newsletter, 3/2006; Star-Gazette (Elmira), 6/5/2006] Furthermore, since 1974 the Secret Service operations center has possessed a special communications line from the control tower of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. This hotline allows air traffic controllers monitoring local radar to inform agents at the White House of any planes that are off course or appear to be on a "threatening vector." [Time, 9/26/1994]

After 9:37 a.m. September 11, 2001: Secret Service Implements a 'Call-Up' of All Personnel
Secret Service executives implement an "emergency call-up" of all their agency's personnel at some time after 9:37 a.m., when the Pentagon was hit, according to US News and World Report. The reason why the Secret Service did not call up all its personnel earlier on is unstated, as is the reason it decides to do so now. [US News and World Report, 12/1/2002] The Secret Service is responsible for protecting the nation's "most visible targets," including the president, the vice president, and the White House complex. [US Department of the Treasury, 5/8/2001; Office of Management and Budget, 7/2001, pp. 82 ] Brian Stafford, the agency's director, realized the US was under attack after the second plane hit the World Trade Center at 9:03 a.m. (see 9:03 a.m. September 11, 2001), and then activated the Director's Crisis Center at Secret Service headquarters to manage the agency's response (see (Shortly After 9:03 a.m.) September 11, 2001). [United States Secret Service, 10/1/2001; Peter Schnall, 10/24/2004] And since around 9:18 a.m., a meeting has been taking place in the office of Carl Truscott, the special agent in charge of the presidential protective division, during which Truscott and three other senior Secret Service agents have discussed security enhancements at the White House (see (9:18 a.m.) September 11, 2001). [United States Secret Service, 10/1/2001]
(Shortly After 10:00 a.m.) September 11, 2001: Emergency Response Team Carrying Guns Escorts First Lady from Senate Office Building
Secret Service emergency response team officers patrolling the South Lawn of the White House. [Source: Associated Press]Laura Bush, the president's wife, is escorted out of the Russell Senate Office Building in Washington, DC, by members of the Secret Service with their guns drawn, to be driven away to a secure location. [National Journal, 8/31/2002; Bush, 2010, pp. 200] People began evacuating from the Russell Senate Office Building and the nearby Capitol building at 9:48 a.m., apparently due to concerns that a plane was heading toward Capitol Hill (see 9:48 a.m. September 11, 2001). [Associated Press, 9/11/2001; Associated Press, 8/21/2002; CNN, 9/11/2006] While Bush and her staff were waiting for the Secret Service emergency response team to arrive and take them away from the Russell Office Building, they stayed in the office of Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) (see (9:50 a.m.-10:00 a.m.) September 11, 2001).
Emergency Response Team Arrives with Guns Drawn - Secret Service agents collect the first lady from Gregg's office at "[s]ometime after 10:00 a.m.," Bush will later recall. [Bush, 2010, pp. 200] Bush usually travels with four Secret Service agents. [Kessler, 2006, pp. 136; Kessler, 2009, pp. 181] But her usual agents are now joined by "an additional Secret Service detail and an emergency response team, dressed in black tactical clothing like a SWAT force and moving with guns drawn." As Bush is being hurried through the hallways, past panicked staffers leaving their offices, members of the emergency response team escorting her shout, "Get back!" and cover her every move with their guns. [Bush, 2010, pp. 200]
First Lady Escorted to Her Limousine - Noelia Rodriguez, the first lady's press secretary, will recall that she and several other members of Bush's staff reach Bush's limousine before the first lady does. While they are waiting there, they chat excitedly, asking each other: "What could this be? Where are we going? What's next?" But the driver instructs them to be quiet, saying, "Ladies, this is a time to pay attention." "Just then," Rodriguez will say, "what seemed like two dozen of these ninja guys surrounded the car—Secret Service agents all dressed in black. Mrs. Bush then got in the car." [National Journal, 8/31/2002] Bush will describe, "We reached the underground entrance; the doors on the motorcade slammed shut, and we sped off." [Bush, 2010, pp. 200]
Motorcade Delayed before Leaving Capitol Hill - However, Bush and those accompanying her reportedly face a delay as they are about to drive off. Ashleigh Adams, the first lady's deputy press secretary, will describe, "At one point, we were all going to leave, and then Mrs. Bush got out of the motorcade and they [presumably members of the Secret Service] told us to stay in the staff van." At this point, Adams will say, "Everyone was distraught" and they "didn't know what was going on." She will add: "We knew something was going on in DC, because we could see people running around. A lot of us were under the impression that there were car bombs going off throughout the city." Bush and those accompanying her leave Capitol Hill at 10:10 a.m., according to Rodriguez. [National Journal, 8/31/2002] Bush's Secret Service agents say they are going to take everyone to a secure location. This turns out to be the Secret Service headquarters in Washington (see (10:10 a.m.-10:55 a.m.) September 11, 2001). [Kessler, 2006, pp. 136]

(6:54 p.m.) September 11, 2001: Secret Service Emergency Response Team Told to Pull Back When President's Helicopter Lands at the White House
Members of the Secret Service emergency response team (ERT) are ordered to pull back out of camera range when President Bush's helicopter arrives at the White House, which means they are too far from the president to respond effectively should something bad happen. ERT officers are waiting on the South Lawn of the White House when Marine One, the president's helicopter, lands there with Bush on board (see (6:54 p.m.) September 11, 2001). However, senior Secret Service officials who are also present order them to "pull back so that the television cameras would not capture images of the heavily armed sharpshooters and alarm the public," according to US News and World Report. Several ERT officers will later report that they are therefore "too far away from the president when he stepped out of Marine One to be effective if something had happened." ERT members are the Secret Service's "sharpshooters assigned to respond to any terrorist strike," according to US News and World Report. [US News and World Report, 12/1/2002; Melanson, 2005, pp. 331] They are "[d]edicated to protecting the president and securing the White House grounds," according to the Daily Mail, and are "skilled, unobtrusive, and absolutely lethal when called upon." [Daily Mail, 12/16/2010]


U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un "will meet again on [Feb.] 27 and 28 in Vietnam." That is in principle good news, but something does not sound right.
A team of U.S. officials were flying to Pyongyang even as Trump announced his summit, which means it was announced before preparations were complete. The same thing happened ahead of the first summit in Singapore last year. North Korea refused to include any mention of denuclearization in preparatory talks because the date of the summit had already been announced. That is why "normalization of diplomatic relations" and "establishment of a peace framework" appeared before "denuclearization" in the joint statement the two leaders issued afterwards. North Korea succeeded in its strategy of avoiding details of denuclearization and focusing instead on the U.S. president's extemporaneous style. And every time the U.S. called on North Korea to take denuclearization steps, the North demanded that Washington "uphold the spirit of the Singapore summit." It is unnerving to see the second summit heading in the same direction.
Trump was his usual boastful self about the results of his next summit with Kim. In an interview with CBS, he said, "I think he's also tired of going through what he's going through." In other words, Trump hopes the North will take concrete steps toward denuclearization to overcome international sanctions. But at the same time the U.S. seems willing to ease sanctions in exchange for the first steps toward denuclearization North Korea takes. Perhaps that is why U.S. government officials no longer promised to uphold sanctions until North Korea completes its denuclearization process.
Meanwhile, it is good news that the U.S. and South Korea finally reached an agreement over sharing the cost of maintaining 28,500 American soldiers in the South. That has made it less likely for Trump to wave the U.S. troop deployment card as a bargaining chip in talks with Kim. Indeed, Trump said himself that there were absolutely no discussions with the North over U.S. troop reduction. But the last time he unexpectedly promised an end to annual joint military exercises with South Korea without even discussing the matter with his own top brass, so there is no telling what unexpected announcements may happen this time.
Last year, North Korea took absolutely no concrete steps toward denuclearization. Top U.S. intelligence officials believe North Korea will never give up its nuclear weapons, while UN officials in charge of sanctions against the North in a report said they discovered evidence that Pyongyang scattered its nuclear weapons and missile facilities across the country in order to keep those projects going. Preparatory talks and a summit between the U.S. and North Korea will produce meaningful results only if they arrive at a solid pledge by Pyongyang to scrap its nuclear weapons.


Today we're super excited about featuring on a full post the work of client Joao Mascarenhas.

Great fashion shots, skate lifestyle stuff and daily life documenting from Portuguese film wizard Joao. ENJOY!


The fundamental remit of our unit is to address key questions about the health of blood donors, to maintain the safety of voluntary blood donation.
We are looking for blood donors to take part in discussions which will influence and improve our research.
We need the views, experiences and insights of donors, stakeholders and the public at large to ensure that our research meets the needs of donors, NHSBT and therefore society. We believe it will be invaluable to work with a group of lay persons, particularly donors, to provide the project with an independent lay perspective on the acceptability of work proposed, making adjustments to the programme as necessary to ensure we account for the challenges and impacts of blood donation that can't be captured through routine donation sessions/questionnaires and reporting structures.
No prior experience or specialist knowledge is required – you can be of any age and from any background. All you need is a desire to get involved and contribute in order to make the research we do as relevant and accessible as possible.
We invite you to join the Standing Translational Advisory Group (STAG). As a member of the STAG, you will be asked to contribute on a remote (correspondence only) basis – you will not be required to attend meetings. You will be approached by email with either direct questions on which we would like your comments, questionnaires or more specific requests in accordance with the information you provide on your knowledge and experience.
As a valued contributor, we will seek your guidance on suggested initiatives but you will bear no accountability for decisions made as a result of your contributions. If you are interested in contributing, please complete our Register Your Interest form. Alternatively, to simply share your thoughts on the above or for further information email donorhealth@medschl.cam.ac.uk .
Made up mainly of lay representatives recruited from the STAG, the STAC will feed directly into the scientific strategy and direction of this unit. As representatives of the donor community, the STAC will provide essential advice on our research plans from inception to publication, ensuring the translational benefit of our work. • Membership of this committee will be reviewed annually – there is no fixed term – and lay representatives are free to withdraw at any time. • All agendas and associated paperwork will be provided along with food and refreshments.
We will cover the costs of travel and any other reasonable expenses incurred as a result of attendance at meetings (reimbursements will be made promptly in arrears following submission of an expenses form). For meetings in Cambridge, parking will be provided (just please let us know in advance).
As valued contributors, we will seek the guidance of our lay representatives on suggested initiatives but they will bear no accountability for decisions made as a result of their contributions.

L'Wren Scott (28 de abril de 1964 - 17 de marzo de 2014) nacida como Luann Bambrough, fue una modelo y diseñadora de moda estadounidense. Conocida por su estatura de 1.91 m y por ser diseñadora de moda de celebridades como Michelle Obama, Madonna, etc. Fue novia del músico británico Mick Jagger desde 2001 hasta el día de su muerte.

Primeros años
Nacida con el nombre de Luann Bambrough en 1967, fue criada por sus padres adoptivos mormones, Ivan y Lula Bambrough, en Roy, Utah.

Carrera
Como sugerencia del fotógrafo Bruce Weber, quien vio a la modelo en Calvin Klein realizando una sesión de fotos, dejó Utah para dirigirse a París con la misión de seguir la carrera de modelo. Al llegar a la capital francesa, trabajó con Chanel y Thierry Mugler, como también de modelo con varios fotógrafos reconocidos, como Guy Bourdin, David Bailey y Jean-Paul Goude, entre otros.

Fallecimiento
Scott fue encontrada muerta por su asistente, en el 200 de Eleventh Avenue (undécima avenida), Chelsea, Manhattan, Nueva York, cerca de las 10 horas de la mañana del 17 de marzo de 2014. La noticia llegó un mes después de que su desfile en Londres fuera cancelado tan solo unas semanas antes de la hora programada y coincidía con la gira australiana de Rolling Stones, que ese día tocaba tierra en la ciudad de Perth. Un portavoz del cantante ha declarado a ABC News que Mick Jagger se encontraba "completamente en shock y devastado por la noticia". Ahora Mick Jagger ha publicado una conmovedora carta en su web personal para la que fue su novia por 13 años, L'Wren Scott. Además, ha cancelado los conciertos que tenía programados con los Rolling Stones en Australia, país en el que se encontraba cuando se enteró de la noticia. "Todavía estoy luchando para entender cómo mi amante y mi mejor amiga ha podido acabar con su vida de esta manera tan trágica. Hemos pasado unos años maravillosos y habíamos conseguido construir una gran vida juntos. Su presencia era maravillosa y poseía mucho talento, que no solo era admirado por mí. Estoy agradecido por todas las frases que la gente ha escrito sobre ella y también por todos los mensajes personales de apoyo que he recibido."
Una portavoz de la policía indicó que a las 10.05 horas (14.05 GMT) se recibió una llamada en los servicios de emergencia desde esa dirección, diciendo que había una mujer inconsciente. Se sospecha de un suicidio.

Crazy! Anyway, to make this layout I used Ultimate Crafts paper "Ooh La La". I applied tissue.
I then stenciled texture paste using a Kaisercraft stencil and applied gesso.
I then added a variety of embellishments. Here is a couple of detail photos.
The layout is made with die cuts, chipboard among other items from my stash. Scrap the girls challenge can be found here. Use inspiration from a 90's movie for your next layout.
Here is my take on the Scrap the Girls moodboard for February. Inspired by flowers and colors of the moodboard.
Warrier Queen embellishment supplied by sponsor Corbett Creations.
and a few close ups. Paper is Kaisercraft.
Here's my take on this months challenge for Scrap the Girls. A time travel back to the 50's.
Stamp set used is Clear Impressions Fabulous 50's. Just perfect for this layout. Star from Charms Creations.
To join the challenge there is moodboard to get your ideas started BUT there is a Pinterest board that you can go and have a look at. The only catch this month is that in your entry blog or share on the Facebook page, you must let us know which image inspired you and why.
Here is my new layout for Off the Rails scrapbook challenge for November.
I first prepared my Scraplets by painting the bicycle with acrylic paint then using silver and green gelato in the centre of the wheels.
I painted the A2Z Scraplet word Special Times in Prima Verdigris texture paste. While it was wet I applied some very small art stones which I then applied a little color with gelato.
The background to this layout was a piece of bicycle paper. I then added embellishments including resins, veneer pieces, die cuts, flowers, micro beads and polymer clay beads.
Hi, this is my take on the November challenge at Scrap the Girls.
That's my little princess of course!
Get inspired and join the challenge here.
