When IDEA published Steve Keen's 2015 Global Economic Outlook in January, its predictions were well outside the consensus. Today, only five months later, the gap has substantially closed, without revising the outlook. Indeed, we witnessed a remarkable revision to the consensus Q1 US GDP forecasts, when they came down dramatically in April, after the quarter had closed, forecasting the past.
Serious trouble in China, stagnation in Europe, weakening US data – none of it conclusive in terms of timing, but the pattern is ever more clear. Prof. Keen's assessment is built on a model of the economy which recognizes the centrality of private debt and the change in private debt. The model integrates money, credit and banking and utilizes non-linear dynamics to simplify a complex system. In each of these ways it is unique among its peers.
Are debt bubbles turning? Signs are worrying, the eventuality is certain, but it is too soon to make the call on timing. Debt bubbles exist, and there is an inevitable price to pay for having grown them. It is the great failure of the policy response to the 2008 financial crisis that it ignored private debt in favour of obsessing about government debt, choosing to manipulate asset markets through quantitative easing and zero interest rates, in a vain hope this would somehow inflate the real economy. In a modern credit society, however, the narrow money supply under the control of central banks does not flow into the real economy as its creators imagine. Broad money in developed economies is absorbed in the financial sector, never reaching employment and production. Thus we say asset markets are "manipulated," whether by design or by ignorance. Absent a change in the policy framework, the outlook for the medium term remains stagnation in real economies and increasing fragility in financial markets.
United States:
America is "turning Japanese." Private debt dynamics, seen particularly in Prof. Keen's "credit accelerator" model, give prospect for a weak growth in the early part of 2015, but the outlook grows darker as the year progresses. Private deleveraging has stalled at well above sustainable levels of debt. The real economy is less and less able to absorb more debt, even as the financial markets use credit to fuel speculation and financial engineering.
Without substantial, even massive, government spending or a drastic reduction in private debt, the US will follow the pattern Japan set, a debt stagnation (not to be confused with the ill-defined "secular stagnation" hypothesis of Lawrence Summers).
The End of the Bubble? China's private debt has grown explosively since the crisis. It could grow further, as Prof Keen pointed out in the 2015 Outlook. Running a trade surplus allows a country to carry a higher level of debt. But it must stop somewhere. Recent evidence – empirical and anecdotal – suggest the problem may be reaching a head: the first foreign debt default, the first State Owned Enterprise default, wobbly Wealth Management (shadow banking) products. A recent 100 bps cut in Reserve Rate Requirements is bordering on extreme, and may show, if not desperation, at least very serious concern in the Chinese bureaucracy. The imports of goods and services from other Asian – particularly ASEAN – nations have dropped dramatically in some anecdotal reports.
America may be "turning Japanese," as in entering a debt-induced long-term stagnation following the collapse of a credit bubble, but Japan itself may be entering its own new phase. Abenomics has basically "succeeded" by weakening the yen and giving a false impression of inflation. Maintaining control of the economy is becoming ever more challenging in spite of spectacular levels of cash (much of it invested outside the country to avoid the fundamentally deflationary internal dynamics). The hoped-for rise in real incomes that was loudly celebrated last year turns out to have been mis-reported, to the delight of conspiracy theorists everywhere.
Perhaps the poster child for self-inflicted wounds, the Eurozone continues its slide into stagnation. As prof. Keen said in the Outlook:
Austerity policies began in Europe in mid-2010, roughly two years after the start of the Global Financial Crisis, in the belief that Europe faced a "sovereign debt crisis". Though these policies were supposed to be an intelligent response to an economic crisis, their impact has been to amplify the downturn begun by the Global Financial Crisis itself.
Greece: Finance ministers are currently arrayed in a circular firing squad around the no-longer-hapless Greeks. If the absurdity of austerity cannot be imposed by the official liquidity squeeze on the Hellenic Republic (Greek is not insolvent, it is illiquid), it seems the Troika institutions stand ready to enforce default and accept whatever consequences might issue from the opaque financial markets. Many of Greece's friends would welcome the Grexit and the prospect of regaining control of fiscal, monetary, exchange rate and trade policies for their democracy, but the Syriza government seems willing to pay a high price to stay in the euro and retain their membership card in the Club of Europe. [IDEA published A Comprehensive Proposal for a Complementary Currency last month as its contribution to that effort.]
But the Troika institutions seem ever more confident that they have insulated the rest of the Eurozone and isolated the victims of austerity. While the failure of Greece after de facto expulsion may have been accounted for, we wonder whether a recovery might not be more dangerous to the European project. There seem to be a lot of bankers and lawyers in the room when decisions are being made and very few economists. The populations of Italy, Spain and Portugal, among others, are watching with increasing attention.
Precise timing of economic events is subject to the vagaries of policy and to institutional reaction. Markets are affected by a monetary policy issuing from central banks that has not found its way through to the real economy. This is common knowledge. A. Gary Shilling refers to it as "the great disconnect." Financial markets are buoyant on a sea of easy credit and react most dramatically to perceived changes in the terms of this credit, to what in the US is known as Fed "tightening." The prospect of even a 25 bps raise, its timing – in June, September, or off into 2016 – produces an enormous amount of print and video. However such rumours affect market players, there is five years of evidence that they are trivial to real economic outcomes. It is our view that a "data dependent" Fed will stall increases in short rates into 2016, but even if a modest bump or two is instigated, long rates will be unaffected, and again, no renewal of the stagnant economy. It is conceivable that if the Fed were to hike earlier, and the downturn we expect from Steve Keen's analysis occurred, that the rate action would be blamed.Ours is an economic analysis, not a market prediction, but it is impossible to ignore the disconnection between the limping economy and the buoyant financial markets.
A simple log chart of real GDP by Douglas Short here, shows actual growth 14.1 percent below trend, the largest negative spread in the history of the series. Unless you are on the sell side of Wall Street, you can probably see that disconnect. If so, we encourage you to look further and examine our model of private debt and the change in private debt as a useful window into the real world.
Markets are highly distorted by the futile (for the economy) policies of QE, as liquidity is being sucked into financial assets and never reaches the real economy. This is the liquidity trap. It is not a matter, as some would say, of a zero lower bound preventing real investment. It is a matter of uncertainty driving investors into apparent safety.
Whilst short-term fluctuations can often be misleading, the logic, evidence and conclusions of Prof. Keen's model remain intact, confirmed by the first four months of 2015 as they have been by the past 35 years. Economic data are weakening across the globe in the pattern predicted in Steve Keen's 2015 Economic Outlook, published by IDEA in January.
Professor Steve Keen is the Chief Economist at the Institute for Dynamic Economic Analysis (IDEA) and the Head of the School, Economics, History and Politics, Kingston University London, with the mandate to form the first truly heterodox economics department in Europe. Steve was cited as the economist who best predicted the Great Financial Crisis and the Great Recession. He was among a remarkably small number who foresaw the crisis and raised the alarm in advance of the largest economic event of the post-Depression era.
Steve authored the book Debunking Economics, a tour de force on economic history, theory and practice, as well as the influential Debtwatch website and dozens of scholarly papers. His work develops the insights of financial Keynesian economist Hyman Minsky with mathematical modeling of Minsky's Financial Instability Hypothesis. He is internationally known, recipient of the award for the economist who best predicted the 2007 financial crash and the ensuing global financial crisis, respected by both professional and lay observers.
IDEAeconomics (Institute for Dynamic Economic Analysis) is a think tank dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of private debt in economics, and to the reform of economic theory and policy.

One of the first steps when building a custom home is deciding on where to build. The custom home builder you choose can help you through this process, but, ultimately, choosing your custom home site is up to you. You might be tempted to choose the first site you see or a site you have been considering for a while, but consider looking at several sites before you make any decisions. As you begin the custom home building process, here are a few things to keep in mind when looking at home sites:
Consult Your Builder
The builder you have hired has a wealth of knowledge. From the materials you need for your custom build to the neighborhoods you are regarding, builders can help direct you to the right site. Just be sure you ask questions about specific plots, towns, and traffic. Your builder will be able to help you decide on the right location for you and your family.
Location. Location. Location
While you are choosing your custom home site, keep the location in mind. They say it's all about location, location, location and, to some degree, they're right. The location of your custom home site can determine a lot of things like deciding the size of your home and the style of home you build.
Type of Plot
As you look at different plots, take note of what you like and don't like. Keep in mind the different sizes of plots and what the plots have. Ask yourself whether you like larger lots, trees, corner lots, or a smaller lot with less maintenance. If you are considering building in a neighborhood, you might be limited on the type of lot you can purchase.
The Community
From small towns to large cities, no two communities are exactly the same. If you enjoy going out and being active, you might want to consider building in an established community that has a lot of activity already happening. For some, the idea of an up and coming neighborhood, with some great features and a lot of promise on the horizon, is the perfect place to build.
The Commute
As you start looking at available home sites, it's important to keep in mind the commute you'll have to places like work, the kids' school, the grocery store, and any other activities you and your family attend. It may not seem like a big deal, but you could end up spending a lot more of your time on the road, depending on the site you choose.
Your Neighbors
If you are looking at home sites in an established neighborhood, then you might want to take your neighbors into consideration. Don't be afraid to talk to people, just explain that you are thinking about purchasing a nearby plot and want to talk to someone from the neighborhood. The people who already live there can help you determine if the area is a great fit for your family or not and you can get a better understanding of your potential neighbors.
Building a custom home can be a tedious process, but our e-book, Tips For Building Your Custom Home, walks you through the process and provides you with tips and tricks to help you along the way. If you're ready to start talking, then contact Carrington Homes to start talking about your dream home!

Pooled SAN storage for NAS
We are trying to decide between an entry level MSA 1000 and a CX200. Any suggestions? This would be a new system without any migration. Can you or can you recommend someone who can go over our needs to determine if a SAN with an attached NAS is the correct design for our needs?
Hmm...one thing I make a point of in all my responses to questions on the site is to stay as vendor neutral as possible. This means I do not make specific recommendations of one company's solution vs. another. Every solution out there has its advantages and disadvantages.
The best approach you should take is to get a hold of the analyst reports for the different vendors' products. Storage products in the range you are looking at require ease of use to be one of the major drivers. Most companies have demo labs where you can go and "kick the tires" of the modular type solutions. For the bigger boxes, some of the vendors will let you do a "try and buy", where you get to try out the product from both vendors with no commitment and choose the one that works best.
If I were you, I would give both companies my requirements and ask them to have one of its systems engineers look it over and make a recommendation on which of its products would be best for you. This will give you a pretty good idea of what is the best approach for you and it's free! Then, ask them to price it out. Don't base your decision just on price though. I know a lot of folks driving cheap cars, when they run.
As for using pooled SAN storage for NAS, if your requirements are minimal, it may make more sense to buy a complete NAS solution. If you also have requirements for a large SAN, then pooling NAS into the SAN begins to make sense. There are VERY inexpensive NAS devices on the market today that may meet your requirements without the investment in SAN infrastructure.

As in the famous words of Alice Cooper, school's out for summer. Since I work for a public school, I've got a lot of time on my hands right now. Back in June I began making a list of all the gluten-free recipes I wanted to experiment with. That was before I decided to follow the Ketogenic way of eating and found out I'm not allowed to have sugar. That really spoiled my plan. Anyone who knows me well knows I love to bake. While searching the internet for Keto meal recipes, I stumbled upon a cookie recipe. Yaay! I would be eating something sweet after all.
The recipe is for Keto Cinnamon Butter cookies. Only six ingredients. The Almond Flour would make them gluten free.
The sixth ingredient was Stevia, the artificial sweetener. I don't particularly like the taste of it and my doctor has advised me to stay away from artificial sweeteners and stick to real sugar. The recipe called for 1/8 of a teaspoon Stevia. I decided to substitute that with 1/4 teaspoon of regular sugar instead.
I rolled the dough into 15 balls and placed them on a greased cookie sheet. My mouth was watering.
Well, actually they looked more like mounds but I didn't care. I couldn't wait to bake them and eat them. After baking for 5 minutes the recipe instructed me to remove them from the oven and press them down with a fork.
I popped them back in the oven and continued to bake them for 22 more minutes before pulling them out to cool. They looked so good. Finally they were cool enough to eat.
I picked one up and took my first heavenly bite. YUCK! I was disappointed. What was I expecting? It doesn't have a cup of sugar in it like everything else I bake. I took a second bite and then a third, hoping it would start tasting sweeter. They weren't going to taste sweet. Ever.
I guess they're not really horrible. Just not what my mouth was watering for.

What a difference a decade makes. In 2003, when the first Second Saturday Art Walk was launched by a small group of artists, dealers, and indie curators, no one could have predicted that a blighted Wynwood neighborhood would grow to rival SoHo and become the epicenter of South Florida's booming art scene.
Now, 3,650 days later, Wynwood has become a world-class cultural destination that includes dozens of galleries and studios, private museums, and a collection of street murals that regularly attract thousands of art lovers each month to what is arguably the Magic City's biggest social scene.
For proof, just look at the lineup of shows this weekend during the searing dog days of summer.
Wynwood Second Saturday Art Walk
"Lost Boys." Think of forgotten Florida, and those old mementos discovered in grandma's attic — like a Weeki Wachee mermaid photo or a carved coconut head — likely come to mind. But in this two-person exhibit featuring the work of Miami artists Dogan Arslanoglu and Johnny Laderer, fading memories of the Sunshine State are the thematic engine fueling the show. Don't expect to find a flamingo figurine or an alligator ashtray here. Instead, Arslanoglu's photography and Laderer's sculpture function as conceptual souvenirs, marking a personal experience while articulating a nostalgia for Florida as it once was, as it can be, and as it is for the outsider. David Castillo Gallery, 2234 NW Second Ave., Miami; 305-573-8110; davidcastillogallery.com. Opening reception 7 to 11 p.m.
"The Haunted Land." Midcareer Italian artists Dacia Manto and Patrizia Giambi are scaring up a shotgun wedding between nature and the mechanical to mark their South Florida debut. On view is a collection of mixed-media drawings and photo-based collages, not to mention some installations and videos in an intriguing exhibit organized by Black Square Gallery's director, Anna Milashevych, and Italian curator Sabrina Benvenuti. They say Manto and Giambi are exploring an indefinable space, both internal and external, to jolt viewers into confronting the unknown. Black Square Gallery, 2248 NW First Pl., Miami; 305-424-5002; blacksquaregallery.com. Open noon to 9 p.m.
"Intro" and I'll Smile and I'm Not Sad. This pair of severely contrasting exhibits riffs on the nature of experimental theater and the last words of Texas death row inmates. The first, "Intro," marks the debut solo of Miami's Alan Gutierrez and boasts painting, sculpture, and video. A crafty Gutierrez tinkers with shades of a memory-play format to set the stage for an exhibition that comments on contemporary demands to perform. Meanwhile, Britain's Powell, who is based in the Big Apple, unsettles the senses with her muted video I'll Smile and I'm Not Sad, flickering with the final testaments of those executed in the Lone Star State since 1982. In the gallery's Atrium, don't miss Carolyn Salas' soaring abstract canvases teetering between painting and sculpture that seek to convey notions of an increasingly hybrid world. Emerson Dorsch Gallery, 151 NW 24th St., Miami; 305-576-1278; emersondorsch.com. Open noon to 9 p.m.
"Violets Violence Silence." Don't let yourself be fooled that Gallery Diet is the site of a recent burglary. After all, what else might one think when entering a Wynwood gallery only to encounter a solitary painting on display? But that's part of the allure of one of the neighborhood's edgier spaces. It's showcasing one work at a time. Nathlie Provosty's wall-engulfing oil-on-linen painting, bearing the poetic title of her show, energizes the surrounding empty white cube with its forceful quartet of commanding circles that, like a Trojan horse, rope in the viewer. Gallery Diet, 174 NW 23rd St., Miami; 305-571-2288; gallerydiet.com. Open 5 to 9 p.m.
Gregg Shienbaum Fine Art. This Wynwood joint usually delivers a combination of works by pop masters such as Warhol, Lichtenstein, Johns, and Rauschenberg. But during this month's edition of Art Walk, Shienbaum is leveling his sights on a starker urban vibe. The gallery's untitled summer group show features seven rising graffiti rats ranging from locals Ahol Sniffs Glue, 2Alas, Mr. Herget, and Clandestine Culture to international talent like the City of Light's Speedy Graphito and Miss Van. In the Project Room, don't miss Colombia's Stinkfish, whose mind-bending, large-scale portraits on wood and metal — which oscillate with psychedelic abstract, geometric patterns — are making their stateside debut. Gregg Shienbaum Fine Art, 2239 NW Second Ave., Miami; 305-205-9089; gsfineart.com. Open 5 to 10 p.m.
"20 Shades of Grey." Way before Art Basel, Second Saturdays, or Wynwood's world-famous outdoor graffiti murals helped establish Miami as an international cultural destination, the 20 Florida artists in the Zadok Gallery's marquee show were leaving their mark on the contemporary scene. Curated by Bernice Steinbaum, who recently closed her pioneering Wynwood gallery and has long championed local talent, this sprawling group offering is not a nod to a racy novel but rather a showcase for members of the AARP set. Among the talent are Jill Cannady, Ramon Carulla, Karen Rifas, Darby Bannard, Robert Thiele, and Clyde Butcher. All have had museum shows, and some have been included in past Whitney Biennials. On view are works in every conceivable medium, most created during the past decade. Steinbaum, who is now working as Zadok's chief curator, has also organized "Reclaimed Miami," a companion exhibit by ten Miami-based names who all employ recycled materials to underscore the importance of environmental stewardship. Zadok Gallery, 2534 N. Miami Ave., Miami; 305-438-3737; zadokgallery.com. Open noon to 7 p.m.

"Stairway to Heaven." In a rare summer solo, Venezuela's Pepe Lopez has transformed Dot Fiftyone into a playground for his conceptual musings. His aesthetic romper room includes a series of tapestry pieces he created from sundry tape strips and his Rhipsalis sculptures crafted from broken umbrellas collected from the streets of Caracas. The works combine to offer a nuanced view into the practice of the artist, who displays an intriguing knack for transforming trash into treasure. Dot Fiftyone Gallery, 187 NW 27th St., Miami; 305-573-9994; dotfiftyone.com. Open 2 to 10 p.m.
"Historic Process/Contemporary Visions." This group show features close to a dozen artists who employ throwback methods to create uncanny imagery. On display are early-19th-century techniques such as daguerreotype, wet plate collodion, cyanotypes, platinum prints, and photogravures. Favoring the handmade over the digital, participating talents offer a compelling look into how contemporary artists are rediscovering and using historic methods to make photographs while also applying current technology to reinvent the old-fangled. Dina Mitrani Gallery, 2620 NW Second Ave., Miami; 786-486-7248; dinamitranigallery.com. Open 5 to 9 p.m.
"Silent Music." French art dealer and curator Lelia Mordoch hopes to hit a high note with a modest group show featuring four artists riffing on the interdependence between the visual arts and music. Alain Le Boucher's sculptures harness science in the service of art, replacing sound with light, while Emmanuel Fillot pipes in with his trademark stone poems he calls "musical maps of silent spaces." Lelia Mordoch Gallery, 2300 N. Miami Ave., Miami; 786-431-1506; galerieleliamordoch.com. Open 5 to 10 p.m.
"Argentine Photography Show." The last time we saw Santiago Porter's provocative pictures of public buildings in Buenos Aires, they featured the eerie sites where Argentine society was subjected to unspeakable political violence behind elegant classical architectural façades. Now his arresting work returns to Pan American Art Projects in a group exhibition boasting five other Argentine shutterbugs. This time, Porter plans to get viewers' cranial gearboxes churning with fresh images of the shaky financial institutions representing the economic implosion of his country. Meanwhile, Gian Paolo Minelli weighs in with his own stark views of an empty penitentiary, implying the stories of people who passed through it, including the crooked business types who profited from the crisis. Pan American Art Projects, 2450 NW Second Ave., Miami; 305-573-2400; panamericanart.com. Open 5 to 9 p.m.

Date: Aug 06, 2014
Press Release Number: 162-2014
Propelled by strong second quarter, the agency's airport system sets new passenger record in first half of year despite harsh weather and flight cancellations
The Port Authority's commercial airports – John F. Kennedy International, Newark Liberty International, LaGuardia, Stewart International and Atlantic City International – set an all-time record for passenger traffic in the first six months of this year with more than 55.7 million air travelers, 2 percent more than the previous record for the six-month period set in 2013.
The new record puts one of the world's largest airport systems on pace for another record-breaking year in 2014. The previous annual passenger record was set last year.
Following the first quarter when regional air traffic declined slightly after several snowstorms grounded thousands of flights throughout January and February, it rebounded strongly during the second quarter with a 4.1 percent increase compared to the same period in 2013 that saw the agency's airports handle more than 30.5 million air travelers. Year-to-date figures through June 30 show John F. Kennedy International handled nearly 25 million passengers; Newark Liberty nearly 17 million; LaGuardia more than 13 million; Atlantic City more than 600,000; and Stewart more than 150,000.
The second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 saw strong growth from John F. Kennedy International (up 7.4 percent) while LaGuardia bounced back from a 3.2 percent decline in the first quarter to post a 3.5 percent gain in the second quarter. Newark Liberty's traffic was essentially flat through the first six months of the year, up 0.2 percent in the first quarter and down 0.3 percent in the second quarter.
Atlantic City International Airport, which the Port Authority began managing in mid-2013 under an agreement to focus on air service development with the South Jersey Transportation Authority, saw the strongest second-quarter growth of all airports, up 8.8 percent, thanks to the addition of new airline service in April 2014. Stewart Airport also showed strong growth, up 6.9 percent, in the period, thanks to added flights.
"We are seeing the results of strong demand for travel from our airport in recent months, despite being constrained by slot limitations," said Port Authority Executive Director Pat Foye. "We are investing billions of dollars to improve our airports, allowing us to generate employment opportunities and drive economic growth in the New York-New Jersey region."
"Record passenger traffic at our airports underscores the need for continued investments that keep us in stride with the steady pace of growth," said Port Authority Deputy Executive Director Deb Gramiccioni. "Investing $8 billion in major redevelopment initiatives at the region's airports over the next 10 years will not only ensure future economic growth, but will also reinforce our position as the leading regional and international aviation hub."
The previous first-half record was set in 2013, when the airport system handled 54.6 million passengers. The Port Authority's airport system set an all-time mark with more than 112.5 million passengers in 2013.
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
Founded in 1921, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey builds, operates, and maintains many of the most important transportation and trade infrastructure assets in the country. The agency's network of aviation, ground, rail, and seaport facilities is among the busiest in the country, supports more than 550,000 regional jobs, and generates more than $23 billion in annual wages and $80 billion in annual economic activity. The Port Authority also owns and manages the 16-acre World Trade Center site, where construction crews are building the iconic One World Trade Center, which is now the tallest skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere. The Port Authority receives no tax revenue from either the State of New York or New Jersey or from the City of New York. The agency raises the necessary funds for the improvement, construction or acquisition of its facilities primarily on its own credit. For more information, please visit http://www.panynj.gov.

Our clients are often surprised by the start time of our ceremonies – for those used to getting to the church for midday or 2pm, our guest arrival at 4:30 could seem like the day is over before it begins! But there is method to the madness – in fact, our program structure has evolved over the years, taking various elements into account to make the winning formula for a tropical beach wedding.
First and most importantly of all – the hot, hot heat. It's hard to imagine from home what the heat and humidity is like here and it is not to be underestimated. Consider that your guests will come smartly dressed, and that they'll be out in the sun from the minute they get off the air-conditioned minibus… it's a celebration, so there'll be plenty of booze thrown in too. Your guests (and our staff) would be like a group of wilting daisies before long if they were to arrive at 2pm! Starting later in the afternoon means the sun is lower and less intense and the temperature is a more bearable.
If people turn to wilting daisies in the sun, what about the daisies themselves?! We have seen that setting up in the full heat of the day can be a disaster. No bride wants to walk onto a beach decorated with limp, droopy flowers – our later start means everything stays fresh and looking fabulous.
Photography is such a major factor for couples that it plays a big part in the timing of the day. As much as the sun is hot, it is also dazzlingly bright and this is problematic for photographers. Too much light means over-exposed photos, so the 5pm ceremony start is necessary. There are 4 hours of photography included in our packages, and we don't believe in forcing our clients to spend extra so we'll do our best to keep all major events within this coverage time. A 5pm ceremony means sufficient time for a photo session before sunset. As standard, we schedule the fire lantern release, first dance and cake cutting before dinner so that these key moments are captured on camera. Of course, if you prefer for these things to take place after dinner you have the freedom to move them but remember to think about the photography – additional hours are an option if you do want to (literally) buy yourselves more time!
If you choose to splash out on fireworks, these will be launched before dinner. There are strict regulations on fireworks on Lipa Noi beach and we have special agreements with our neighboring resorts and local residents, whom we would never want to upset.
Sunset is earlier in the later part of the year, so we will schedule our November and December weddings to begin an hour earlier, so there's still enough time to fit everything in before light is lost.
If you are having a Buddhist blessing, this will take place at 4pm. Normally, in a Thai wedding, the monks' blessing is early in the morning – however, as this would mean an excruciatingly long day for you and also because the monks must be back at the temple before sunset, we have ours just before the beach ceremony. Due to the heat at that time, the Buddhist blessing takes place under the wooden sala and not on the beach.
For all of our weddings at Faraway Villa, midnight is home time – again because of our agreement with the locals. People often ask where they can go afterwards to continue the party but in our experience, the sun and sea air, the fun and food, the drink and the dancing will have people snoozing on the minibus before they even get back to the resort!

Environmental contaminant hazards to wildlife at National Capital region and Mid-Atlantic National Park Service units

Pollutant data for air, water, soil and biota were compiled from databases and internet sources and by staff interviews at 23 National Park Service (NPS) units in 2005. A metric was derived describing the quality and quantity of data for each park, and in combination with known contaminant threats, the need for ecotoxicological study was identified and ranked. Over half of NP units were near Toxic Release Inventory sites discharging persistent pollutants, and fish consumption advisories were in effect at or near 22 of the units. Pesticide and herbicide use was found to be minimal, with the exception of those units with agricultural leases. Only 70 reports were found that describe terrestrial vertebrate environmental contaminant data at or near the units. Of the >75,000 compounds in commerce, empirical exposure data were limited to merely 58 halogenated compounds, insecticides, rodenticides, metals, and some contemporary compounds. Further ecotoxicological monitoring and research is warranted at several units including Shenandoah National Park, Richmond National Battlefield Park, Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park, Valley Forge National Historical Park, Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site, Monocacy National Battlefield, and Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. The types of investigations vary according to the wildlife species present and potential contaminant threats, but should focus on contemporary use pesticides and herbicides, polychlorinated biphenyls, mercury, lead, and perhaps antibiotics, flame retardants, pharmaceuticals, and surfactants. Other management recommendations include inclusion of screening level contaminant risk assessments into the NPS Vital Signs Program, development of protocols for toxicological analysis of seemingly affected wildlife, alternative methods and compounds for pest management, and use of non-toxic fishing tackle by visitors.

Here are answers to some of the most common questions we are asked about hearing issues. Feel free to call us if you need assistance.
Will my doctor notice my hearing loss?
Not likely since many hearing impaired individuals hear well in quiet environments, like your doctor's office. It can be very difficult for your doctor to recognize this problem so you should mention your hearing concerns to them so that you can be referred for a hearing test. Only an audiologist or hearing instrument specialist can determine the severity of your hearing problem and whether or not you would benefit from a hearing aid.
What are the different types of hearing loss?
- Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common type of hearing loss and can be treated with hearing aids.
- Conductive hearing loss can usually be treated medically or surgically.
- Mixed hearing loss is a combination of a sensorineural hearing loss and a conductive hearing loss.
Are there medications or surgery that can improve my hearing?
Unfortunately only a small percentage of hearing loss in adults can be improved medically or surgically. The vast majority of people with hearing loss will need hearing aids.
Why do I have difficulty hearing in noisy environments?
One of the first symptoms of a high-frequency hearing loss is increased difficulty understanding speech in noisy situations. Also, as we age our ears and brain don't separate the speech you want to hear from the background noise. When this filtering/processing system doesn't work well, all the sounds get jumbled together. This makes it very hard to understand speech in noise.
Why do family members think that I have selective hearing?
People with normal hearing have a hard time understanding hearing loss. In fact hearing loss is often not a total inability to hear but rather a diminished sensitivity to sound particularly in the range of speech sounds. The definition of selective hearing is a term used when someone actually ignores things that they don't want to hear.
Can ear wax cause hearing loss?
Yes, a blockage in the ear canal from earwax build up can prevent sounds from getting to the eardrum. If you think that earwax may be causing an issue with your hearing it is best to get an appointment with your family doctor so that he/she can examine your ear canal and determine if this is the reason for your hearing concerns.
Why does my child cover their ears when they hear a loud sound?
Hyperacusis is an abnormal sensitivity to sound which arises from a problem in the way the brains central auditory processing center perceives noise. Individuals will often feel discomfort when they hear everyday sounds that are easily tolerated by others. People suffering from hyperacusis shouldn't be given earplugs or other devices designed to lessen the loudness of sounds since this may actually lead to an increase in sensitivity.
The links below can provide additional information about hyperacusis.

So let's get right to it.
Performing Arts
The Hendricks Civic Theatre will kick the weekend off with multiple performances of The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley, Jr. This musical brings the best-selling children's book series to life with performances at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and a matinee at 2:30 p.m. Sunday at Crossroads Church, 7209 E. County Road 100 South in Avon. If you just can't make it this weekend, the group will have three performances again next weekend.
A couple of national comedians will perform from 6-9 p.m. Saturday at the Washington Township Pavilion in Avon during the Laughing for the Health of It event to benefit Mental Health America of Hendricks County. To get more details about this amazing event including more information about the hilarious comedians who will perform, check out this Hendricks County Insider post.
Arts and Crafts
If perusing arts and crafts vendors is more your thing, you will want to head to Danville on Saturday or Sunday for Fair on the Square. This annual event draws more than 100 arts and crafts vendors from across the Midwest every year. Couple that with live music and food, and you have the makings for a fun day where you may be able to get in some early Christmas shopping. You can read more about this free event and everything happening on the Square in Danville this weekend by clicking here.
Visual Arts
As part of the Rural Routes to Main Street Cultural Trail Second Saturday festivities, the Art Sanctuary in Martinsville will host its 6th Annual Artesian Show with an opening reception from 6-9 p.m. Friday. Show hours continue the rest of the weekend from noon to 4 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday. All of the work displayed at this show is juried and could include both two-dimensonal and three-dimensonal art on exhibit.
Prairie Art
While I might be stretching the theme a bit here, I couldn't complete my weekend things to do list without mentioning that this is the opening weekend for the Prairie Maze at McCloud Nature Park, 8518 N. Hughes Road, North Salem. This annual maze cut into the prarie grass always proves to be challenging, and if you look at it from a birdseye view, I could argue that it is art.
So there you go. A preview of what's on tap for this weekend. As always, you can find things to do anytime on our Events Calendar.
Have a great weekend!

National Scout leadership voted last month to admit openly gay Scouts as members. "The Catholic Church teaches that all people are to be treated with dignity and respect," according to the statement sent to all Washington Catholic parishes and posted on dioceses' websites. The bishops affirmed their support of the mission of the Boy Scouts to guide young people in making good life decisions and participate in their churches and community. The statement comes after a meeting last Wednesday to discuss the new scouting policy attended by Seattle Archbishop Peter Sartain, Spokane Diocese Bishop Blase Cupich, Yakima Bishop Joseph Tyson and Seattle Auxiliary Bishop Eusebio Elizondo. The bishops said that Scouting's decision to allow gay young people to participate "does not affect the teachings of the Catholic Church or the manner in which the Catholic parishes in Washington state conduct the scouting programs under their sponsorship." Last month one local Catholic parish, Our Lady Star of the Sea in Bremerton, decided to end sponsorship of a Boy Scout troop because the pastor, Father Derek Lappe, felt the new policy encourages young men to come out or identify as gay. Current Catholic Church policy allows local parishes and pastors to charter Boy Scout troops or Cub Scout packs at their own discretion. "They're also not required to sponsor any organization if they choose," Seattle Archdiocese spokesman Greg Magnoni said.

Which Sunscreen is Right for You?
First, let's set the record straight
"But I wore sunscreen!"
It's a line I hear every day in my office from a seriously tanned patient who insists they wore sunscreen; implying that the deep tan I'm seeing can't possibly be an issue, when it is. The reality is that sunscreen is not perfect and in some cases I think it can even be harmful. It gives you a false sense of security: that it's ok to bake in the sun all day because you applied a thin layer of sunscreen in the morning before you went out. The truth is that sunscreen is, at best, a last ditch effort to make it possible to live an active life while trying to avoid damage to your skin. Nevertheless, you absolutely need it.

DJ Set Playlist
About a month back, me and my friend Erin Klassen did a DJ set at Evergreen Brickworks for their winter market. We chose the theme of "Great Music From Great Women", and I think it went really well! Luckily Morgan Yew was there to record it, and now, if you're looking for a fun playlist, you can listen to all 3 hours below! (Side note, I meant to start the set off with Fleetwood Mac's Christie McVie led "Little Lies", but accidentally started with the Lindsey Buckinham tune "Big Love"... )

Sixpence None The Richer took their name from a passage in C.S. Lewis' book Mere Christianity. The section from Lewis' book is about a son asking his father for a sixpence to buy him a gift.
"When the father received the present, he was none the richer because he originally gave the sixpence to his son," lead singer Leigh Nash said on The Late Show with David Letterman. "The analogy is to God who gives gifts for us to glorify him. He is not richer because of our presentation since he originally gave the gift."
A fun look at 20 bands that took their names from classic literature. I didn't know all of these.
Barcode art on picture books. So fun!
Early twentieth century American writers manipulated text to much the same effect. Gertrude Stein was a noted hater of the exclamation and question marks, calling both symbols "unnecessary" and "ugly." Her flattened sentences shaped the lines of writers who studied her, mostly Ernest Hemingway and E.E. Cummings, the latter a famous manipulator of capitalization and punctuation.
I appreciate pieces that talk about how technology influences our language the most when they're more a snapshot than a judgment. This is a pretty interesting one.

Oceanskies was pleased to welcome a brand new Princess P60 motor yacht to Guernsey earlier this week for customs clearance, completion of Guernsey vessel registration formalities and refuelling.
Oceanskies carried out the registration of the vessel on behalf of the owner under Part I of the British Register of Ships at the Port of Guernsey.
The fully inclusive registration service included liaising with the builder and broker to perfect chain of title in the vessel, the tonnage survey, obtaining the vessel's radio licence in addition to organising the completion of Carving & Marking formalities.
Upon arrival in St. Peter Port Guernsey the vessel berthed right outside the offices of Oceanskies on the Boatworks+ refuelling berth.
Whilst the vessel was refuelling Tom Becker of Oceanskies welcomed the crew of the vessel with coffee in their offices whilst Adrian Ogier of Oceanskies handled customs and export formalities with the local customs and collected the vessel's Certificate of British Registry from the local ship registry.
The whole process was completed within an hour and the vessel was able to head onwards towards the UK to be shipped as deck cargo onboard a cargo vessel to the Mediterranean ready for the summer season.
The vessel's project manager wrote a short email to Oceanskies after the vessel's visit simply saying "Thanks for all your help great service and I will be making sure I get the word out about you guys."
For further information concerning our Guernsey yacht registration and agency services please do not hesitate to contact us.

My 10-year-old daughter recently made a statement as we drove to her piano class the other day that's going to be on the minds of CEOs and discussed in boardrooms soon, if not already: "If there is artificial intelligence, then we won't need to think," she said.
Her words left me speechless.
I tried in vain to remove from my mind a sticky image from the movie based on the cult classic novel by Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." In it, a supercomputer called Deep Thought rendered the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything, after 7.5 million years of calculations: the number 42.

The Lord and I have been wrestling a bit lately.
And by a "bit" I mean "a fair amount" and by "wrestling" I mean "giving the Lord opportunity to break out some of his divine patience." "Lately" could also refer to "a while."
I know that's vague, but it's a deeply personal sort of wrestling. the kind that involves patience and grief and sorrow. The last several months have taken a toll, and Christmas looming made it a little trickier.
Because there's nothing like holidays to remind you of the cracks, the uneven spaces in your life you wish weren't there but have no control over. We are reminded to aspire to "Merry and Bright," when sometimes "Stable and Content" is not an easy achievement.
That's where my head-space was before the Newton, Connecticut tragedy.
Gosh, it breaks my heart. And it makes me angry. I'm really good at putting a positive spin on things (call it a defense mechanism), but there was nothing to make the event anything other than completely, utterly, devastatingly heartbreaking.
Here is the truth as I know it - we live in a broken world. A deeply broken world. God sent his Son because of its brokenness.
Sometimes Christmas is portrayed as the easy holiday - it's babies, bright stars, and barn animals. Easter's the tough one, because you can drape a cross in lilies all you want, but there's still torture and death before the resurrection.
A closer reading, though, reveals that the birth of Christ did not just involve inns and sheep. There was Herod, and the death of innocent babies, and a flight to Egypt.
Jesus didn't come to make the world un-broken, that wasn't the point. The Jewish zealots really hoped he would overthrow the Roman regime, but that wasn't the point either.
He came so we could find spiritual unity with God, a unity that would manifest itself in a future, perfect world. He came to help us carry the load until then, to grieve with us, intercede in prayer, to give us a perfect model of holiness to aspire to.
Christ's arrival, death, and resurrection didn't negate our free will, but it did give us the tools to use it responsibly.
I really love Audrey Assad's "Winter Snow," because it reminds me of how Christ could have come but didn't, and how his arrival in a shabby stable was part of a larger narrative.
I also recommend this NYT column by Ross Douthat, especially when he talks about the narrative of the New Testament.
As far as Christmas? Myself, I have to cling to the hope of an infant Christ. Also, I mod-podge paper maché reindeer, cut paper snowflakes, play Christmas music, and find joy in small, silly things.
This year will not likely go down in history as my Best Christmas Ever, but it's still part of the narrative. The best part? I know how it ends. And as much as the Lord and I wrestle, and I am thankful that he is the original author of happy endings.

Vocal Match. Interactive Frequency Chart - Independent Recording Network. Lessons on Compression: Change your Attitude Before your Amplitude says Steve Hillier. Tackling compression in a thousand words is a tall order, but I'm reasonably tall so I'm going to give it a try.
More than any other audio effect, myth and folklore has sprouted, grown and thrived around compression. We know compressors do something important; we read about it everywhere… we're just not sure what that is. So, here is a sixteen word summary that should clear up any confusion once and for all: Compressors reduce the difference in amplitude between the greatest and smallest levels in an audio signal. This reduces dynamic range , throwing away large amounts of audio information in the process. Imagine trying to explain compression to an alien: Man from Mars: Your mix sounds lifeless and dull.
6 Tips for Reigning in the Bass in Your Mix. It's been said that the low end of your mix is "what separates the men from the boys."

In a trend that was born in the EU and Scandinavia and has been building stateside for the better part of a decade, the floodgates burst open this year with everyone from Rihanna to Britney Spears riding the coattails of Euro-styled synth hooks to the top of the charts. In-demand DJs are now pocketing as much as $200,000 a show and selling out multiple nights in cities from New York to Los Angeles. Perhaps the best example of the electronic revolution? Insomniac Events' Electric Daisy Carnival, a dance festival that has attracted tens of thousands of revelers to stadium-style venues for years.

These original sound frequencies were apparently used in Ancient Gregorian Chants, such as the great hymn to St. John the Baptist, along with others that church authorities say were lost centuries ago. The chants and their special tones were believed to impart tremendous spiritual blessings when sung in harmony during religious masses. The Six Solfeggio Frequencies include: Jezar´s compressor. By Jezar at Dreampoint People are frequently asking how to use a compressor.

When done properly, one can do everything from add energy and warmth to a sound to completely alter the feel and flow of an entire piece of music. 3D Mixing Part 3: Equalization. One of the most important tools in mixing is the equalizer. It shapes individual sounds, bus groups and mixes into cohesive wholes. If used correctly it can add clarity to muddy sounds or sparkle and definition to already great sounds. In this portion of our ongoing series, we will take an in-depth look at some EQ tips, frequency concepts and a few instrument specific techniques to help you create cleaner sounds and mixes. Why EQ? The purpose of EQing is to create clearer and larger sounds that are well defined and inhabit their own specific space within the frequency spectrum.

Johann Wilhelm Ritter discovered ultraviolet light in 1801 during an experiment with silver chloride. His discovery came approximately 1 year after William Herschel discovered infrared light.
In 1801, Johann Ritter decided to expand on Herschel's light experiments in order to determine if invisible light existed beyond the violet end of the spectrum. He found that silver chloride turned black when exposed to sunlight, and he went on to investigate the reaction when the substance was exposed to different colors of light by using sunlight through a prism. He found that the silver chloride reacted more noticeably as he approached the violet end of the spectrum. He moved the substance beyond the violet end into a region with no visible light, and this generated an intense reaction. Ritter's Chemical Rays were later named ultraviolet light. The light has since been classified into three divisions: UV-A, UV-B and UV-C, with UV-C being the most dangerous.

6:00 a.m.: Everyone is up and about, getting ready to work. In preparation for their work on the gate, Shailendra and his co-workers must first construct the concrete frame under which the gate will be installed. Shailendra climbs up a metal ladder and positions himself by the wall on which the gate will be erected. As helper, his cousin Shiva climbs up after him. Charandev Rishi, their neighbour in Sargana, sits on the ground beside the base of the ladder as he mixes limestone with cement in a shallow pan. Santosh stacks the bricks that Shailendra will need by the wall, and keeps replenishing them. Keeping them entertained as they work is Santosh's mobile on which songs from Bollywood movies dating to the 1990s play. Santosh tells us that he had uploaded these songs from a vendor on his recent sojourn to Sargana.
The caretaker of the gurdwara leaves to bring chapatis for the workers from the village.
8:00 a.m.: Charandev finishes mixing limestone with cement in his second pan. The caretaker has returned from the village after collecting donations of the chapatis that the workers will eat for breakfast. A functionary of the committee that has commissioned the gurdwara arrives to inspect the progress on the gate: Shailendra asks him to provide a vehicle for them to buy materials from Patiala that will be required for shuttering.
8:30 a.m.: All the workers prepare to eat breakfast. Shailendra speaks to Sandeep, a neighbour from Sargana and currently working in Sherpur, Ludhiana. Sandeep plans to return to Sargana on November 1. Shailendra wants him to carry back a mobile phone which he has bought for his wife: he says his daughter dashed his wife's mobile phone to the ground in a fit of anger, so she needs a new one. Shalendra has already bought the device and installed the memory chip from his own smart phone onto it, so his wife can watch the movies he has been watching.
9:30 a.m.: The committee member has arranged for a tractor- trolley to transport Shailendra and his co-workers to a market from which they can make their purchases. Shailendra, Shiva, Charandev, Santosh and I board the trolley and make our way towards Nabha.

The Grammy Awards will continue to broadcast on CBS until 2021, it has been announced.
The Recording Academy and CBS have agreed a ten-year deal to continue airing the music ceremony, its nominations concert and new specials on CBS.
Recording Academy president and CEO Neil Portnow said: "We are so pleased to continue our longstanding partnership with our friends at CBS, which has grown beyond our signature Grammy Awards event.

> Grammy Awards reduce categories, reveal new rules
CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler said: "CBS and the Grammys continue to be a partnership of two great brands combining to create one of television's most celebrated nights. It is an event that has become an entertainment force in generating audience, social media conversation and music sales."
CBS Corporation president and CEO Leslie Moonves added that the "long-term structure of this deal will provide even greater continuity with marketing and sales opportunities for both organisations for an event that continues to grow in size and scope - both culturally and commercially".
Details of the newly-announced two-hour Grammy specials which will air on CBS will be announced at a later date.

When we learned that Facebook cofounder Eduardo Saverin renounced his US citizenship, we assumed it might have something to do with avoiding US taxes.
His stake is worth $4 billion to $5 billion, and even a small percentage of that amount can really add up.
Turns out we were on to something.
Taking a low estimate of Saverin's stake – valuing it at $3 billion – Bloomberg's Jesse Drucker concludes that Saverin will save at least $67 million giving up on the red, white, and blue.
Bloomberg calculated the $67 million figure by applying the 15 percent U.S. capital gains rate to the approximate $448 million spread between the two values. Bloomberg's methodology was reviewed by Robert Willens, an independent tax adviser based in New York…
…His savings may be even greater because Saverin's tax advisers could argue that the value of his stake in September was less than the $2.44 billion used in Bloomberg's calculation because selling such a large amount of stock at the then-market price wasn't possible.
Saverin's spokesperson insists that the tax savings are not his motivation.
"The calculations and assumptions are not only erroneous, they also further perpetuate the false impression that tax was the reason behind Eduardo's decision," this spokesperson told Bloomberg.
"His motive had nothing to do with tax and everything to do with his desire to live and work in Singapore."

Continuing its $12 million effort to refurbish and rejuvenate Madison Square Park in New York, the New York City Parks Foundation completed the relighting of the Eternal Light World War I memorial in time for November's Veteran's Day ceremony with the help of and with the help of Advance Transformer. The Rosemont, Ill.-based ballast manufacturer donated several 40W LED drivers for the star-shaped light display.
Peter Jacobson, lighting specialist for Con Edison said the LED-based design was the right choice for the display because the upgrade required a lighting technology that would support the star's "unique and continuous lighting requirements." The LEDs' ability to provide long-lasting white light was also a factor.
The Eternal Light monument stands 120 ft in the air and has remained lit 24 hours a day since 1923.

An olive oil in order to be certified as "extra virgin" should satisfy four basic criteria:
1) It must be produced only by mechanical extraction methods (no chemical or hot water applied).
2) Come only from first cold pressing.
3) Have an oleic acidity level of less than 0.8 percent.
4) Have a perfect taste.
Acidity level is the most important factor that determines use olive oil's grade. This is a measure of the percentage of its free fatty acid content-the best oil has the lowest acidity.
Greek extra virgin olive oil has a very low oleic acidity level that could start from 0.1percent, provided it is particularly fresh, and taking into account its variety, and the way it is pressed.
The main indigenous Greek varieties for the production of olive oil are: Koroneiki, Athinolina, Ladolifa, Marvelina, Agiou Orous, etc.,
Oliorama comes from the Koroneiki variety and usually has an oleic acidity level less than 0.3 percent.
It is a product of the great land of Ancient Olympia in Western Peloponnese ,the birthday of the most important athletic mega-event of all times , the Olympic games.
