James H. Shepherd Jr.
Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief of Staff and Co-Founder
James H. Shepherd, Jr., is the chairman of the Board of Directors, chief of staff and a co-founder of Shepherd Center. He co-founded Shepherd Center in 1975 with his parents, Alana Shepherd and the late Harold Shepherd, and David Apple, M.D., the hospital's first medical director.
James and the co-founders have built a facility that has garnered international recognition for the treatment of spinal cord injury, brain injury and multiple sclerosis. Also, Shepherd Center has also become a nationally recognized advocate for people with disabilities.
A native of Atlanta, James graduated from the Westminster Schools and then received his bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Georgia in 1973. It was his near-fatal bodysurfing accident in Brazil that year that led to the founding of Shepherd Center in 1975. After six months of intensive rehabilitation in Denver, Colorado, James regained the ability to walk with a cane and leg brace. When the Shepherd family returned home to Atlanta, they were frustrated with the lack of rehabilitation center options in the Southeast. With his parents' enthusiastic support, James and his family founded Shepherd Center in 1975 as a six-bed unit, and almost immediately, there was a waiting list.
Throughout Shepherd Center's history, James has worked to improve accessibility and opportunity for people with disabilities. He regularly communicates with community leaders, legislators and the news media to increase public awareness. And he tours groups through Shepherd Center, speaks to community organizations, and makes advocates and donors of the many people he reaches.
On both the state and national level, James has made a tremendous commitment and contribution to providing exceptional healthcare for people with spinal cord and/or brain injuries. He exemplifies how dedication and determination can bring change to society. His contributions have been recognized with numerous awards, including a national award for distinguished public service from the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and an honorary doctorate from the University of Georgia – both of which also recognized his parents' contributions.
James has actively served on numerous boards and committees to further the education and research to benefit people with disabilities. He has served as director of the National Rehabilitation Awareness Foundation, on the Board of Directors of the Georgia Institute of Technology's Center for Rehabilitation Technology, the Governor's Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Trust Fund Authority and as a board member of Initiative 2000 (a celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act). James also served on the Steering Committee for the First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta, which led the Interfaith Conference on Disability Awareness. He is an active volunteer in the community, having volunteered on the accessibility advisory committees of MARTA, Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the Georgia World Congress Center and the Georgia Dome.

Despite having to face a Republican controlled Congress and House of Representatives, Rep. Chris Van Hollen, (D-Maryland), plans to reintroduce legislation to cap carbon emissions this week. The timing of this legislation is no coincidence, Van Hollen believes reintroducing the legislation will push 2016 presidential candidates to discuss the issue. "Our goal is to keep attention focused on this issue as we head into this congressional session, and also into the presidential election in 2016," said Van Hollen. The bill proposes to cap carbon pollution and reduce carbon dioxide emissions gradually and steadily. Additionally, if passed, it will serve to auction carbon pollution permits, "to the first sellers of oil, coal and natural gas into the U.S. market, and return 100% of the auction proceeds electronically each quarter to every American with a valid Social Security number," he said. Though Van Hollen knows a win is unlikely, he has promised to work with any interested parties.

Most call me Noi although it's not my Thai name! Many years ago when I was a tour guide I was saddened to see what cruelty was done to the majestic Thai elephant, so I decided that someday I will have my own elephants, my style! I got a bank loan to rent 2 elephants to begin my business… That was a long time ago! Today we are proud owners of 12 happy elephants we are still growing. Guests who visit us are amazed by the way we treat our elephants. We employ some of the best mahouts in the industry who all deeply care about the elephants.
Panda Elephant Camp Is a happy place to spend your holiday, be it riding elephants, our mahout training program or even by adopting an elephant. My dream has come true as seen in the happy faces of our staff, animals and most importantly our guests. Our guest book says most, if not all want to return again. Today my son proudly holds the mahouts stick, maybe like me he too will follow his father!

Everyone would have heard about the brand Elle18, right? It is one of my favourite brands. I loved their Rosy Blush Lipstick from their Color Pops range and currently I love love love their Drama Bold Kajal! I was looking for a warm red shade lipstick and when Elle18 launched their Matte Lipsticks I started looking for the red which I wanted in their Matte range and here it is, I found it! Elle 18 Color Pops Matte Lipstick- Selfie Red.
Price And Quantity:
Rs. 100 for 4.3g of lipstick. BUY: Amazon.in
Product Description:
Your new, essential lip color is here. Now you can get that bold and intense color in just one stroke of application. Available in 20 bold and vibrant shades that accentuate your overall look. Give your lips the spotlight they deserve with the New Color Pops Matte Collection! #Matteisin
My Experience With Elle 18 Color Pops Matte Lipstick- Selfie Red:
{Skin-tone: Medium Fair, warm undertones}
The lipstick comes in a black bullet with brand name, lipstick name and a cartoon girl's face printed on it. The shade name and code is mentioned on the sticker, which is at the bottom of the lipstick. The bullet closes with a 'tick' sound making it travel friendly.
Shade, Coverage And Pigmentation
This is a warm red lipstick which will suit on all Indian skin tones. It gives very opaque finish, you don't need to apply layers of lipstick for the color to show up on lips. Just one or two coats, and you're done! It also covers pigmented lips very well.
It has a very smooth buttery texture.
I love its fragrance it has a very yummy fragrance! (Very similar to butterscotch ice-cream scent! :D) So, before applying this lipstick I take some time sniffing it and restrain myself from biting into it! This lipstick is very smooth to apply on the lips. It has a buttery formula, which makes the lipstick glide on lips easily. After application, face instantly brightens up and shows a healthy glow to the skin. It is not a true matte lipstick though as it has some shine in it, which also shows up on the lips. So, it is more of a moisturizing matte lipstick or lipstick with semi-matte finish.
Two observation after using this lipstick, at different room temperatures:
When applied in normal or higher room temperature, it gives semi-matte kind of finish. And when applied in lower room temperature (observed in an air conditioned room) it gives true matte finish and with this it also lasts longer. With mild snacking it stays put on the lips. But between moderate to heavy snacking to starts disappearing from the insides of the lips and stays on the edges of the lips, which makes the pout look un-attractive. So, a re-application is needed. And at this price point, I am not going to complain.
Staying Power
Concluding from two observations, it lasts for 3-4 hours only at normal room temperature. And lasts for 5-6 hours at lower room temperatures, after which it starts fading.
I felt a little disappointment because it is not a true matte lipstick. But I am in love with shade and I have been using this a lot lately! 🙂

We all know the 4 C's (carat, colour, clarity, cut) already. They determine the quality of a diamond, but the cut is considered to be the most important. Especially with the purchase of a solitaire ring, when only one diamond attracts attention. The cut is in fact responsible for the brilliance. Thus, a good cut can give a diamond of lower quality a stunning look. Because, let's be honest, we all want a solitaire ring that sparkles nicely.
Most viewed diamond jewels
0.90 carat solitaire diamond ring in platinum with six prongsFrom € 1.290 (excl. VAT)
0.55 carat diamond eternity ring (full set) in white goldFrom € 870 (excl. VAT)

0.75 carat diamond creole earrings in yellow goldFrom € 1.350 (excl. VAT)
0.20 carat diamond design infinity necklace in platinumFrom € 1.410 (excl. VAT)
The difference between the cut and the shape
It is interesting to note that the term 'cut' is used in two different ways. Many use cut when describing a diamond shape, for example a princess cut solitaire ring. Although the term is commonly used in this way, it is not really correct. The true definition of cut is not the diamond shape, but the size, the polishing and the symmetry of a diamond.
When a specialist will assess the abrasive quality of a diamond, he looks at three important aspects: brilliance (the reflection of the white light at the surface and in the diamond), fire (the flashes of colour, caused by the dispersion of the light in the diamond) and scintillation (the flashes of light and dark (glare) when the diamond moves).
Grading system
As with clarity and colour, the cut is assessed by a grading system:
- Very ideal: reflects the maximum amount of light
- Ideal: reflects almost all the light that falls on the diamond
- Very good: reflects about as much light as those with an ideal cut
- Good: reflects enough light
- Fair: reflects a reasonable amount of light
- Poor: reflects a small amount of light
We at BAUNAT strive for perfection and only use diamonds of excellent quality. Also for a beautiful solitaire ring you have come to the right place.

Issue and objectives
Protests for democratic reforms have been ongoing in various cities across Syria since March 15, 2011. The Syrian Government's violent crackdown on peaceful protesters has led to many civilian deaths and injuries. More than 850 people reportedly have been killed, and the death toll continues to rise. Thousands of civilians have been detained arbitrarily and there are credible reports of summary executions and torture. Many humanitarian and human rights organizations have expressed concerns over access to medical care, food, water, and electricity. To date, Syria has refused access to international humanitarian organizations, which raises serious humanitarian concerns.
The actions of the Syrian Government have also led thousands of Syrians to flee to neighbouring countries, including Lebanon, resulting in a serious humanitarian crisis in the region. In its attempt to control its population, the Syrian army reportedly has crossed the Lebanese border to stop people from fleeing to Lebanon and to seek out and detain individuals involved in the protests. Incursions by the Syrian security forces into Lebanon undermine the stability, sovereignty and independence of that country and might lead to the re-introduction of a Syrian military presence in Lebanon, from which the Syrian army was expelled in 2005. Turkey has made public statements that it could intervene to create safe havens along its border to prevent the flight of Syrians, including Kurds, into Turkey. There are reports that Iranian security services are assisting Syrian security forces in quelling protests in Syria. There are also reports that the Syrian Government instigated, directly or through its influence over the terrorist group Hezbollah, the incursions by Syrians and Lebanese into Israel and the Golan Heights that occurred on May 15, 2011, during annual protests commemorating the Palestinian "Naqba" or "catastrophe," which coincides with the creation of the state of Israel. This is considered to be an effort to divert attention from the anti-government protests. These incidents resulted in numerous fatalities as Israel sought to repel the incursions. There is the possibility that Syria could use Hezbollah attacks on Israel as a means to attempt to rally popular support, posing a threat to the security of Israel. The Syrian crackdown threatens to cast a chill on the "Arab Spring" in the Middle East region as it encourages other regimes to resort to the use of force against people peacefully protesting for democracy and deters people from demonstrating.
The violent crackdown in Syria and the cross-border incursions into neighbouring countries resulting in fatalities and the mass exodus of refugees have caused a grave breach of international peace and security that is likely to result in a serious international crisis. If the crackdown continues, there is a risk that additional army units could defect from the regime, and that the situation could deteriorate into a sectarian conflict similar to Iraq, with a number of negative consequences, including the mass exodus of refugees into neighbouring countries.
Canada has issued multiple statements, to no avail, calling on Syria to exercise restraint, to respect human rights, to engage in dialogue on democratic reforms, and to implement measures already announced. To date, there has been no call for sanctions by the United Nations Security Council; however, likeminded countries such as the U.S. and the European Union have imposed travel bans and asset freezes on key members of the government.
The proposed sanctions will reinforce the message to the Syrian Government that its blatant disregard for human rights and fundamental freedoms is unacceptable and condemned by the international community, while also signalling Canada's solidarity and support for the people of Syria.
Description and rationale
The Government of Canada has made these Regulations in order to respond to the gravity of the situation in Syria, which, in the Governor in Council's opinion, constitutes a grave breach of international peace and security that has resulted or is likely to result in a serious international crisis.
The Regulations impose restrictions on dealings with designated persons. Some exceptions are available, including the following:
- Humanitarian efforts and goods, such as food and medical supplies or equipment;
- Stabilization and reconstruction assistance and activities;
- Democratization and development assistance;
- Financial or other support provided by the Government of Canada; and
- Payments made by or on behalf of designated persons pursuant to contracts entered into prior to the coming into force of this person's designation.
A separate Permit Authorization Order made pursuant to subsection 4(4) of the Special Economic Measures Act authorizes the Minister of Foreign Affairs to issue to any person in Canada and any Canadian outside Canada a permit to carry out a specified activity or transaction, or any class of activity or transaction, with a designated person that is otherwise restricted or prohibited pursuant to the Regulations.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade drafted the Regulations having consulted the Department of Justice, the Department of Finance, Citizenship and Immigration Canada, the Canadian International Development Agency and the Canada Border Services Agency.
Implementation, enforcement and service standards
Compliance is ensured by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Canada Border Services Agency. Every person who contravenes section 3 of the Regulations is liable, upon conviction, to the punishments set out in section 8 of the Special Economic Measures Act.

Last week I was invited along to the Puffa A/W15 Launch Event, held in the amazing Hip Hop Chip Shop in Manchester. The event showcased the new line from Puffa and was a great opportunity to eat, drink and network with some lovely bloggers. It was fab to catch up with ladies I've known over the years of blogging and meet some new faces too.
We were kindly allowed to order from the menu and I couldn't resist the chunky chips that had been cooked three times. They were incredible. The other girlies enjoyed the fish, crab and fried halloumi that was on offer - yum.
Myself and Sarah had lots of fun trying on the coats from the collection and playing around with the Instax cameras. The Instax were an amazing idea, everyone really enjoyed taking photos and getting an instant print - I certainly have one on my wish list now! The collection was great too and really made me get the Autumnal vibes. I was dying to snuggle up in their cosy coats and didn't want to take the one I tried on, off. The coats actually contain thick 'Puffatex' filling making they super warm and perfect for winter.
Overall it was a really great night, thank you Katie for the invite. I can't wait to see what Puffa come up with next.

Oak-Leaf Hydrangea seed collecting
I thought I would follow my last post with another about this wonderful plant. I have never collected seed for this plant before this year. After reading what I could on the internet from native plant sources and Michael Dirr I proceeded with a plan. The picture is of a dried Oakleaf Hydrangea bloom head and the specks are the seed. I have been catching them in paper bags as the capsules on the bloom head releases them. I will keep you informed to their progress when I sow them. Everyone pray for no wind on that day OK! They are not to be covered when sown just watered in. Hopefully a couple of weeks later they will emerge.

Sounds like a fun project, it might take a while to get a big enough plant to produce flowers, but the satisfaction once doing so will be worth it.ReplyDelete
I am interested to see the results of your first try with these seeds. I may even have to try it myself if they germinate for you. ;)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 22, 2009 at 9:32 PM
Interesting. Do let us know how the seeds work out. Oakleaf Hydrangea is my favorite shrub. They are difficult to grow in NW MO. (If they attain any size they may not bloom.) But finally I've got a good-sized one that puts on a gorgeous show of blooms every season. I tucked it against the inside corner of the far south eastern side of my house. It is a happy shrub.ReplyDelete
Love your blog, Kevin!
A great shrub emerges from those little dust things? Awesome. Can't wait to hear how it comes out.ReplyDelete
Tthey have done very well RK I am potting them into 3 gallon size containers. I will do a post on them again to catch up when they leaf out.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 17, 2013 at 5:17 PM
Did they survive or thrive? I just got some seeds off ebay and I was glad to see your picture. I thought mine might just be dust! But they look just like your photo. I'm wondering how yours are doing now?ReplyDelete
They did very well, tge young ones once germinated need to be watered from the bottom, overhead watering can lead to fungus and nothing will stoo it but first two orvthree flats of seedlings did well. Many have been sold as 3 gallon size and have been sold. I now propagate by cuttings on them mostly but the seedlings helped me get many going quickReplyDelete

My guest for this episode of Nathaniel Mulcahy, owner and founder of World Stove, a company that produces and distributes pyrolytic gasification stoves all around the world. These stoves are tailored to fit the specific needs of each culture and community that uses them.
Brent Verrill, a listener to the show and a contributor to conversations on the facebook page for the show, facebook.com/thepermaculturepodcast, suggested Mr. Mulcahy, and linked to an article on the Huffington post detailing the work of Worldstove.
After looking over that material, viewing the World Stove website, and recently returning from my experience at the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture (PASA) sponsored workshop on Charcoal and Biochar, I wanted to interview Nathaniel. The elegance of the system and ability to turn what would otherwise be waste products into fuel is an enticing prospect.
During this interview we discuss his background and how he came to create World Stove, which was an even more interesting route than how many of us come to permaculture. We also talk about the World Stove mission to create local jobs, improve local economies, and insure that waste biomass is used as a fuel, all while reducing emissions, sequester carbon, and building soil.
May you enjoy this time with Nathaniel as much as I did.

Spring has sprung. And with that, it is time to start thinking about your landscaping once again. One of the landscaping tasks that should be done in the spring is tree pruning. However, you may find yourself asking why and if it really matters what season you have your tree pruned during. Learning about the benefits will help you to better understand the importance of pruning your trees during spring.
Remove Winter's Damage
One of the biggest benefits of tree trimming and pruning in spring is that you get the opportunity to remove any damage done to the tree during winter. Heavy amounts of snow and ice may have weakened limbs or branches. After the ice and snow has begun to melt away, a professional can examine the tree and remove any of these damaged limbs. When a limb is damaged, it can break off and fall on its own. However, this can be harmful to the tree and anyone or anything directly below the tree. Removing the damage in a controlled environment is best.
Resilience to Wounds during Spring
When it is cold out, your trees are in a slow period of growth. They are basically hibernating. When it gets warm out, they spring back to life and are in full growth mood. When they are in those mood, they heal faster than when they are in a no-growth phase. Unfortunately, when trimming or pruning is done, some wounds may occur to the tree and they may leak sap, which is the equivalent of them bleeding. These wounds heal faster in spring, than they do in late summer through winter, making spring the perfect time to prune for fast healing.
Make Way for New Growth
The last benefit to tree trimming or pruning in spring is that you make way for new growth. If old leaves or dead growth remains on your tree, it can impede the growth of new buds. Since most buds begin to form in mid to late spring, you want to prune and trim in early spring to maximize the amount of growth on your tree. This can help your tree to grow as it should, as well as helping it to look full and healthy.
Spring is here, which means now is the perfect time to begin to think about pruning your trees. Schedule an appointment today by giving Property Maintenance Co a call at (651) 776-6613. We can help you with all of your landscaping needs including raking, edging, pruning, tree trimming, mowing, bagging and fertilizing.

In a bizarre, highly deplorable judgment delivered on Tuesday, Suryakant Shinde, Sessions Judge at Gadchiroli District Court in Maharashtra convicted Prof GN Saibaba (Delhi University), Prashant Rahi (Journalist from Uttarakhand), Hem Mishra (Cultural Activist, Student, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi), Mahesh Tirke, Pandu Narote and Vijay Tirke (tribals from Gadchiroli) and sentenced life imprisonment to the first five and ten years imprisonment to the last, under Sections 13,18,20,38 and 39 of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act and Section 120-B of the Indian Penal Code.
The judgment is illegal, irrational, atrocious and highly motivated, to say the least. None of the charges framed against the accused stand a real test of judicial inquiry as all of them are fabricated and the evidences are concocted or drawn out of context. Even in case law, there are several instances where the other courts including Supreme Court struck down this kind of irrational charges and acquitted all the accused. However, the judge in his wisdom chose to believe whatever the prosecution cooked up and sentenced the highest possible punishment. The 827-page voluminous judgment ridiculously cites so many irrelevant and unconnected issues the prosecution has dished as evidence, including some request notes and leave letters written by Saibaba to the authorities of a Delhi college where his daughter was studying and routine letters written by his wife to her bank regarding double entries.
The major charge of the prosecution is that the accused in this case were waging war against the country and supporting the ideology of a banned organization, CPI (Maoist). Anybody can easily understand that to ʹwage a war" somebody needs weapons and none of the six accused were shown as possessing any weapon on them when arrested or the police did not find any in searching their houses. Supporting an ideology, even if the same ideology is adhered to by a banned organization, cannot be a crime. In fact, the highest court of the land, Supreme Court, categorically said in a famous verdict that even the membership in a banned organization cannot be a cause for conviction, until and unless the accused is proven beyond doubt to be associated with a Crime.

In the long history of humankind those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed.
Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin
I got my new hot head torch a while ago ... and have been working out a way to set up my studio (garage) to enable the best use of this new tool. The location of my work bench wasn't suitable (apart from the mess), there wasn't adequate air flow - and setting up and pulling apart market tables was inconvenient, so a permanent solution was called for.
I have long yearned for a butchers block just because I like them, however after a recent visit to (dare I say it!) Ikea ... I found what I was looking for. After an hours work of putting together the bench, my hothead is was set up ~ I then made the bracket to support the torch and the best thing is I can tuck away the bench when not in use!
Stay tuned for the next part of this adventure!

The headline exaggerates, but not by much. Back in April, a Vanity Fair story about Iceland's remarkable financial blow up was grist for a Vanity Fair story by Michael Lewis, "Wall Street on the Tundra". The quick version is that Icelandic men were not merely reckless, that is such a common male pathology as to barely warrant mention, but were possessed of a particular fondness for physical aggression and bullheadedness that helped make Iceland ground zero for the most spectacular banking industry boom and bust in the history of man. Iceland managed to go on a debt party that saw its obligations soar to 850% of GDP, leaving America at a mere 350% firmly in the dust.
So how is Iceland faring now? One would assume still broke and chastened. One would be dead wrong.
The krona is down 50% from its peak, and it seems to have sparked a speedy revival. I remarked when Iceland fell apart that someone should swoop in and buy a business that sold strictly in international markets (I had thought fish oil would be a good candidate). But that takes time, legwork, and walking around money.
This is the same remedy that the Nordic countries used in their banking crises, save they nationalized the banks, put in new management, cleaned them up, and reprivatized them, But they also devalued their currencies versus the ECU.
But Iceland and the Nordic countries can make moves like that without precipitating competitive devaluations. What works individually does not work collectively.
The EU bashing is a bit heavy handed, but the general comments are nevertheless useful.
BTW, reader Richard Kiine is in Iceland now, perhaps he can give a report when he returns.
From Ambrose Evans-Pritchard at the Telegraph:
The krona has fallen by half against the euro since the `New Viking' trio of Landsbanki, Glitnir, and Kaupthing strayed out of their depth and brought down Iceland's financial system.
Nothing is cheap, but prices have come within reach. Reykjavik's cafés are packed with euro-youth, at last able to afford a taste of all-night dancing at this Arctic Ibiza…
Out in Iceland's Eastern fjords, Alcoa has raised aluminium production to record levels – and metal matters as much as fish for exports.
"The smelters are running full speed," said the new-broom finance minister, Steingrimur Sigfusson. So is Mr Sigfusson himself. Last week he launched three new banks on the ruins of the old. Normality is returning. "We are going to get through this better than feared. We're feeling real activity in the economy, and much of this comes from a favourable exchange rate," said Mr Sigfusson.
Iceland's great lurch towards casino capitalism over the last decade has a cultural logic. "We are a fishing culture: when the herring is there, we take it," said Andri Snaer Magnason, author of `Dreamland: A Self-Help Manual for a Frightened Nation'. There was no easier catch on offer than the Greenspan bubble and the global "carry trade". How could fishermen resist? In one sense it was a terrifying shock for the 310,000 inhabitants of this Norse-Celtic outpost of lava rock to see their currency, banks, and global image crash in a single week last autumn. Yet nothing has really changed.
"Everything still feels normal. The services of the state are intact. The swimming pool is open. You can still have a decent heart attack in Iceland," said Mr Magnason.
"Friends who lost jobs in banking have already found new work, and you could say the krona has worked as a buffer for us. We all went down together, and that has led to healthier recession without mass unemployment."
The jobless rate has risen to 9.1pc. This is below the eurozone average of 9.5pc, and is stabilising much earlier.
Those who point to Iceland as a scarecrow exhibit of what happens to a small country caught in a financial storm without the shield of euro membership have the matter backwards, as will become ever clearer over the next two years.
The OECD expects Iceland's economy to shrink 7pc this year. This is much better than Ireland at minus 9.8pc, and recovery will come sooner. So next time you hear the Sacra Congregatio of the euro faith incant yet again that EMU saved Ireland from a terrible fate, know that they deceive only themselves.
You take your punishment early with devaluation, as Britain did on leaving Gold in 1931, or ending the D-mark torture in 1992, or now. You look a sorry sight at first, but sweet vindication comes later.
It is those caught in a deflation trap with fixed exchange rates that face slow asphyxiation, and deeper social damage. Youth unemployment is already 34pc in Spain, 28pc in Latvia, 25pc in Italy, 24pc in Greece, and rising.
At Iceland's central bank – mercifully, no longer listed beside al Qaeda as a terrorist body by UK authorities – Governor Svein Harald Oygard says currency therapy is working as it should. "If you lean back and look you can see that fall of the krona accentuated the shock at first, but it is also now working as a turbocharger for recovery.
"We've seen a strong hit on wealth and asset values, but the story for real economy is very different."
Devaluation is always double-edged. Some 13pc of households in Iceland hold mortgages in euros, Swiss francs, or God forbid, yen. Their debt levels doubled overnight.
Some 70pc of corporate loans are in foreign currencies. Exporters are hedged. Those that earn in krona are not, and a "large number" are now in dire straits.
The Governor is a Norwegian who cut his teeth in the Oslo banking crisis of the early 1990s. He was brought in as a troubleshooter after the last crew was literally banged out of the Sedlabanki by the Saucepan Revolution in February. With justifiable pride, he showed me the latest trade figures. Iceland has defied the global shipping crash to eke out an 11pc rise in exports over the last year. Even China has seen a fall of 21pc.
Iceland will be back in surplus by next year, from a peak deficit of 25pc of GDP. You could say the same about Latvia, which has stuck to its euro peg under orders from Brussels. But there is a big difference.
Latvia is balancing its books by crushing demand. Exports are down 28pc, but imports are down even more. The result of this Stone Age policy is economic contraction of 18pc this year, and 4pc in 2010 (state data).
Icelanders have taken a hit, of course. Unions have accepted 'real' wage cuts of 10pc. Health care and welfare is being cut 5pc, education 7pc, and the rest 10pc. This is comparable to what is happening in Ireland, but again there is a difference. Dublin faces a Sysphean task as collapsing tax revenues force ever deeper austerity: Reykjavik is over the worst.
It baffles me why rating agencies still talk of downgrading Iceland's debt to junk. The country should emerge with public debt of 80pc to 100pc of GDP – much like Britain. Yet Iceland also has the world's best-funded pension system at 120pc of GDP. It is the two together that counts.
In their angst, Icelanders look wistfully at the apparent safe port of EU membership. The Althingi has voted to start entry talks. But the storm will have blown over well before an EU referendum is held in two or three years. By then the delayed cluster bomb of Europe's unemployment will have detonated. Try selling EU protection then.

Protesters in Lebanon have a simple message for Britain and the US: you cannot expect Arab democracies to operate on western terms.
A Comment By Salam Al-Mahadin
The Guardian
"Let's assume for the sake of the argument that half the population of Britain took to the streets, slept out in the cold, raised the national flag and flew banners demanding the resignation of Tony Blair. Would the western world flock to London to offer him support? Would the US, Israel and half the enlightened democracies denounce the crowds as ignorant mobs easily swayed by agitating demagogues? Would he and his government legitimate their rule on the basis of foreign support? Would Blair declare to the world at large that the support of his own people was secondary to the support of international allies?
Let's assume for the sake of another argument that Tony Blair came into office following elections in which he swept more than three quarters of votes in the biggest electoral turnout in the history of the UK. Would the European Union, the US and Israel rave and rant before sulking in a corner and declaring that they didn't really like Tony Blair's politics and had therefore decided to starve the British people for making such an unsavoury choice?
Do these two scenarios seem surreal?
They didn't seem so surreal when they were applied to both Lebanon and the West Bank. And I am willing to bet my lunch money for a whole year that should an independent international committee be formed to gauge the degree of support for both the Hamas government and the opposition movements in Lebanon, they would reveal that both the Lebanese and Palestinian nations were in favour of those whom the west considers "personas non grata"."

BSc (Aberdeen), PhD
Dr Ken McNamara is a University Senior Lecturer in the Department of Earth Sciences and Director of the Sedgwick Museum. The underlying thread that runs through much of his research is the relationship between evolution and development, with particular reference to the fossil record. Current projects include: the role of developmental change in macroevolution, with particular emphasis on heterochrony in dinosaur evolution and the evolution of patterns of segmentation in trilobites; analysis of patterns of evolution and extinction in trilobites before and after the Late Devonian mass extinction event, 370 million years ago; studies of the early colonisation of land and the establishment of the earliest terrestrial ecosystem using trace fossils from 430 million year old sandstones in Western Australia; climatic implications of preservation of plants in 40 million year old silcretes in southwestern Australia; biotic responses to mass extinctions in Late Cretaceous serpulid worms, with particular emphasis on phenotypic variation as an indicator of environmental stress; the occurrence of fossil echinoids in archaeological sites in Jordan. He is also currently working on a book on the founder of the Sedgwick Museum, Dr John Woodward (1667-1728).

The main train journey started from Saharsa, Bihar to Amritsar, Punjab. Enemies and the evaluators noted that both the first trip was selected from two routes commercially insignificant as many local people had transferred Bihari Punjab and origination did Yadav of Bihar to select this course for political gain. Despite the criticisms, the Garib Rath is positive reinforcement, with the capacity of the train arriving at nearly 100% in the off-season times.
Garib Rath trains are also lined up to have many facilities such as refrigerator, microwave ... Also have to run non-stop electronic screen that exihibit the distance that remains, the name of the next season and the expected time to get there. The chambers also were adorned with attractive paintings of Indian origin.
The arrival of Garib Rath has led to more meaningful relationships between trade routes, when these trains run at a speed faster and make fewer stopage, such as the Bandra-Hazrat Express Nizammudin compared to August Kranti Rajdhani Express.
Services currently running Garib Rath
Madrid - Hazrat Nizamuddin Garib Rath
Currently offers the services of these stations
Jabalpur - Central Mumbai Garib Rath Express-going Special weekly

Toni Catany – the Spanish 'poet of photography'
Toni Catany – the Spanish "poet of photography". Manuel Forcano, couldn't say it better.
"Treated with a very particular sensibility and highly personal aesthetics, the bodies or objects that become the protagonists of his photographs are truly like the words of a poem: essential, revealing, indispensable, deep and echoing. Hence, we can say that, in his lyricism and indisputable mastery of light, Toni Catany is a poet of photography"
In Toni Catany's photographs dictates his sensitivity. It all about his feelings. "They are not complicated stories but rather certain feelings that I communicate through the choice of object, fruits, flowers, or colours. But they are always autobiographical." He used photography as a reflection of his inner universe and not as a mirror of the real and external world. "I transform what I see and try to make the photos flow from within me"
Portraits of unknown people, landscapes (especially from Mediterranean), nudes, carefully planned still lifes – every element has a lyrical quality and beautiful mystery that reveals his silent soul.
"I have an obsession with the passage of time", states the artist, and his photographs are liked by people from everywhere. "The best thing of all, though, is that one perceives that Toni Catany has enjoyed taking them."
No official web site or social media, but he has published a lot of books and in this video he shares his life path experience and artistic thoughts.
Toni Catany (Llucmajor, Majorca, 1942 – Barcelona, 2013)

EDF, EPA in Action to Counter Shipping Pollution
The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) announced its support for the request by the U.S. government to protect against global shipping pollution generated by large ocean-going ships. During a noon news conference on March 30, at Port Newark, New Jersey, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa P. Jackson announced that the U.S. government applied to designate U.S. coastal waters as "Emission Control Areas" under international law.
An Emission Control Area, or ECA, would provide the strongest clean air standards available under international law. The EDF said that it would dramatically improve fuel quality and reduce smog-forming oxides of nitrogen for all ocean-going ships in the exclusive economic zone of the United States, an area that typically extends about 200 nautical miles from the coast.
According to the EPA and EDF, in 2002, ocean-going ships were responsible for about 7,300 tons of smog-forming oxides of nitrogen (NOx) pollution at the New York/New Jersey ports, comparable to the NOx emissions from 7.8 million of today's cars.
"Ships are floating smokestacks that deliver soot and smog straight to the heart of our most crowded coastal cities, home to 87 million Americans," said Andy Darrell, vice president of Living Cities at EDF, who attended today's announcement. "With emissions control areas, these tens of millions of Americans will see ship pollution drop by as much as 96 percent by 2015."
Earlier today, EDF released a new report showing that the container ships, tankers and other large sea-going vessels that dock at more than 100 U.S. port cities burn low grade "residual fuel" or "bunker fuel" that is a major source of air pollution. More than 87 million Americans live in ports and coastal communities that fail to meet basic federal health standards for ground-level ozone and particulate pollution, according to EDF's report, "Protecting American Health from Global Shipping Pollution: Establishing An Emission Control Area in U.S. Waters" The residual fuel contains sulfur levels 1,800 times greater than U.S. law allows for other diesel engines.
(The full report is at: www.edf.org/article.cfm?contentID=8611)
A recent study by two leading researchers on shipping pollution, Corbett and Winebrake, showed shipping-related particulate matter emissions contribute to approximately 60,000 global deaths annually, with impacts concentrated in coastal regions on major trade routes.
The United States submitted its application -- asking for the most rigorous clean air standards authorized under international law to apply to ocean-going ships calling on U.S. ports -- to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and will make its case at the July 2009 meeting of the IMO's Marine Environment Protection Committee. Government officials estimate that foreign-flagged vessels make up 90 percent of the ship calls on U.S. ports.
In October 2008, the IMO adopted new baseline global emission standards for ocean-going ships and their fuel with more rigorous, heightened protections in designated Emission Control Areas (ECAs). The fuel used to power these ships currently contains about 27,000 parts per million (ppm) of sulfur. In an ECA, the sulfur in fuel will be limited to 10,000 ppm in August 2012 and to 1,000 ppm in January 2015.
Most ship engines that are designed to run on bunker fuel also are capable of burning this cleaner fuel, so no significant ship changes or upgrades will be necessary. Additionally, the EPA has affirmed that the lower sulfur fuel required by an ECA will be available when the U.S. ECA goes into effect.
Within an ECA, ships must also achieve an 80 percent reduction in smog-forming oxides of nitrogen starting in 2016. EPA air quality analyses shows the pollution reductions required in an ECA will reduce exposure to lethal particulate pollution for millions of Americans.
"We urge the International Maritime Organization to promptly approve the United States' request and protect Americans from deadly air pollution," concluded Darrell.

The Secret Sauce: Our Formula for Business Success
Depending upon how closely you follow the Liquid blog, you are likely well aware of the staggering growth seen by our company in 2015. Last year, in 2016, we were able to take a much-needed breather as the growth settled a bit and we re-established the foundation of a company poised to grow once more. Well, only ninety days into 2017 we are accelerating once again into a growth phase. I guess the question is, are we ready?
Answer – heck yeah!
2016 was a year of review and introspection, challenging everything we do and why we do it. We adjusted processes and procedures to meet the ever-changing needs of our clients and the demands of an increasingly competitive landscape. We re-assessed the services we provide, how we provide them and made sure that they align with what our clients need, not just with what we like to do. As the year ended, Liquid had evolved and changed its recipe a bit, altered its formula, but never touched its Secret Sauce.
The Secret Sauce? What could be so secret about what's happening at Liquid that it cannot be found at any other marketing organization? Well, without sharing so much detail that I find myself in need of a new job, let me lay out what I see as the Secret Sauce that you need to have applied to your marketing efforts.
It's actually quite basic and parts of it can be found in many organizations around the world. The trick is being able to bring it all together and harness its combined power.
Liquid's Secret Sauce Formula is … (P2 + 3p) x 2L = Pn.
Here is how it breaks down:
P2 (People Squared): Notice the P is capitalized denoting importance. Squared you ask? Hmmm. Are we "squares?" Well, maybe some of us are, and more power to 'em. But, the technical term is that the "2" is an exponent denoting the power by which something is raised. Basically, our people are the exponential factor in the horsepower that comes from Liquid. They exponentially raise our capability, our creativity, and our credibility as industry leaders.
3p (passion, perfection and preparation): While all lower case in our formula, they are no less valuable to the Secret Sauce. In every client engagement, we add a heaping tablespoon of pure, unadulterated passion for what we do. It oozes from us all day – almost to the point where we argue about who is more passionate. What?? Then, we always add an even teaspoon of perfection. Why only a teaspoon, you might ask? Well, in this joint just about everybody's middle name is perfectionist. Add more than a teaspoon of that around here and I am honestly not sure what would happen. What I do know is that a modest teaspoon in the sauce yields wonders for our clients. Lastly, we add a boat load (no, not a true measurement in most ways) of preparation. While obviously logical, this ingredient can be easily missed in the formula of a fast-paced marketing organization in a dynamically changing digital world. Preparation at Liquid means taking the time to meet, to collaborate, to brainstorm. Do it often.
2L (simply, Love and Laughter): Now, don't go grabbing your tissues, but yes, we sprinkle just a bit of love into everything we do at Liquid. Heck, our primary brand color is "Heart Throb Red," no joke. We love what we do, why we do it, and doing it as a team. Love of one's work is essential and it shows at Liquid. And, of course, who could ever forget that little medicine cup that your mother made you drink that icky pink goo from. Well, we fill that with some of the greatest laughter you will hear and toss it in for good measure. Because what good is anything in life if you cannot enjoy it?
Pn (Performance to the nth power): Our Secret Sauce provides supercharged performance for our clients. It is the only measurement that matters. Did your marketing dollars perform for you or not? What else would you ask? What else would we ask?
Only ninety days into 2017 and the Secret Sauce at Liquid has never been better. This is going to be a good one so make sure get yours before … no, we're not running out.
Need a dash of secret sauce added to your brand's marketing? Let's chat.

What a great week for this country. The entire country, liberals and conservatives, Dems, Republicans, Greens, Independents, etc, stood up and said that we do not accept corruption, incompetency, an imperial presidency, the status quo in Iraq, and an administration of lies.
This didn't happen because the moon was in the right phase; this happened because of the time, talents, and treasure that we provided to many, many campaigns. Great job!!!
The campaign that I worked the most on was John Kowalko's (www.johnkowalko.com) for the 25th Representative District of the Delaware House of Representatives. He beat 12-year incumbent Stephanie Ulbrich, who beat him by 16% in 2004. John, who worked his tail off for two years, beat her by 4%. By the way, you can not find a more progressive candidate (now politician) than John Kowalko. His victory enables the Democratic party to come closer to reclaiming the lead in the Delaware House (we already have the majority in the state Senate).
I will finish with thoughts shared with me yesterday morning by Villanova Political Science professor and all-around nice guy Matt Kerbel, whom many of us heard provide a wonderful analysis in 2004. He frequently provides political analysis for Philly TV and radio stations. It is worth reading and savoring every word, several times:
Some sleep deprived thoughts the morning after. Our democracy works. They tried hard to break it but they couldn't. For all the resources the Republicans had, and for all their dirty tricks and lies, we won a sweeping victory with a governing majority in the House larger than anything the Republicans had during their 12 year run, and a majority of governors and state legislatures that will serve as our talent pool for a generation. When all is said and done, we're going to have the Senate too.
The House majority is large enough to be a governing majority and large enough to endure. A lot of Republicans have never experienced life in the minority. Look for more Republican retirements next cycle leading to more open seat opportunities. Combined with a favorable Senate map the next two rounds, we should be able to keep our majorities for a long time.
I believe this marks the beginning of the end of the Nixon-Reagan-Bush regime that has dominated our politics for two generations. For the first time since the Republicans briefly ran everything in the early 1950s, the governing majority in congress does not include the South. I believe we are seeing the emergence of a progressive governing coalition that will unite the coasts and upper midwest with the libertarian great plains and mountain west. It will take at least two more cycles to consolidate it. But it's starting to come together.
I was very disappointed about Lamont, but let's not forget that it was his primary victory over Lieberman that got DC Democrats to recognize that, you know, people are unhappy about
My strongest hope, and my firm belief, is that we will now have the national discussion about
And as I watched us win across the country last night, vindicating Dean's 50-state strategy, I thought about the doors I knocked on in New Hampshire in 2003, the meetups, and all the grassroots work so many of us have been doing for so long now. You can trace yesterday's victory directly back to the day Howard Dean got up in front of the other presidential candidates in California and asked why his party was afraid to stand up to power. This isn't the end by a long stretch, but it is a turning point.

Health Professions Advising at Clemson can begin as early as orientation and continue well past graduation depending on the needs of the student:
Exploration. The pre-professional pathway is a mindset, not a major. Therefore, pre-professional students must select a major and minor (if applicable). The pre-professional student may choose from over eighty undergraduate majors at Clemson. Although many students pursue a math or science degree, it is not required. Healthcare professional schools look for students that are well-rounded academically, socially and portray professional competence. Our professional advisors assist students in considering the various degree programs through which they can pursue the road to healthcare professional schools.
Prerequisite Tracking. Because there is no pre-professional degree, health professional schools designate prerequisite courses as indicators of success, which they would like to see on each applicant's transcript. These prerequisite courses vary by discipline and institution. Our professional advisors can assist you with identifying and interpreting prerequisite courses at your schools of interest.
Professional School Research. Our professional advisors assist students in considering the various health professional schools to which they might apply through researching admissions requirements, institutional mission, and curricula.
Application and Interview Preparation. During the application process, our professional advisors can assist you with developing your personal statement, as well as how to translate your experiences confidently in an interview setting. Workshops, as well as one on one advising appointments, are offered throughout each semester to help students prepare best for admissions process.

Let's Solve It
The Portfolio Implications of Trade Disputes
Written by: Benjamin Mandel and Hannah Anderson
This is a distillation of a forthcoming J.P. Morgan Asset Management research paper: What is a trade war, and are we in one? Multi-asset implications by Benjamin Mandel, Global Strategist, Multi-Asset Solutions and Hannah Anderson, Global Market Strategist, Global Market Insights Strategy.
TRADE POLICY IS OF FIRST-ORDER IMPORTANCE IN A MORE CONNECTED WORLD, AND MARKETS HAVE BEEN REACTING NERVOUSLY TO U.S. TRADE DISPUTES WITH CHINA, EUROPE AND NAFTA COUNTRIES. Our latest research explores the portfolio implications of trade policy uncertainty, at a time when trade-related market shocks are becoming more frequent.1
Our baseline view is that trade policy uncertainty will continue driving higher levels of volatility but will not fundamentally alter the direction of markets over the next 12-18 months. Moderate, negotiated solutions remain our base case outcomes for NAFTA and China trade disputes. There is a rising risk, however, that if these disputes drag on or intensify, market reactions could become deeper and more persistent.
A key feature of trade disputes is the non-linear pass-through to economic outcomes. Small or narrow tariffs have generally had small effects on near-term growth and inflation. Combining all U.S. tariffs on Chinese exports (those announced and threatened), we estimate an effect of only about a 25 basis point (bps) decline in U.S. real GDP growth and 20bps on core CPI inflation. These are non-trivial but not devastating in an economy currently growing at an above-trend pace.
More severe problems would likely arise if trade barriers began to affect economic sentiment and damage private sector confidence—currently, business sentiment readings remain high, but at the margin they have begun to reflect trade fears. There is also the risk that the balance of winners and losers from tariffs has spillover effects. For example, the prospect of auto tariffs could be sufficiently threatening to dampen confidence. In addition to autos, the burden of U.S. tariffs under consideration will fall disproportionately on U.S. consumers of electronics made in China and on U.S. businesses utilizing imported machinery and metal inputs. Other countries' retaliation will likely deliver the biggest hit to U.S. exporters of agricultural products and U.S. business operations overseas.
Download the entire article here.
Thus far, these grave possibilities have been more fear than fact, and markets have cycled through trade policy episodes relatively quickly. By our estimation, a "typical" announcement effect over the past 18 months has corresponded to a 30bps fall in S&P 500 total return on the day of announcement, followed by a 1ppt cumulative recovery over the subsequent five trading days (EXHIBIT 1).
Some investment implications of our research include:
- Trade war headlines spark negative reactions for equities on impact (creating disproportionately higher volatility in emerging markets and Europe), and a temporary boost to the dollar.
- Trade disputes have been more pronounced in the more trade-exposed markets of Asia and Europe than in the relatively closed U.S., where assets also generally do relatively better in risk-off situations.
- Higher overall volatility, emergent downside risks and the lower relative sensitivity to policy outcomes support the U.S. at the top of our list of preferred equity markets; Europe is collateral damage in these disputes and among our least-preferred markets.
- Over the past year, duration has acted as a moderate hedge for trade shocks, with stock-bond correlations modestly more negative during recent trade risk episodes.
