Abder-Rahman Khan
Abder-Rahman Khan
Born 1844; died Oct. 1, 1901. Emir of Afghanistan from 1880.
Abder-rahman Khan's policy of centralization contributed to the elimination of petty feudal fiefs and to the strengthening of the country's economy. In his efforts to utilize the contradictions between the great powers, he strove to achieve an integral state. However, he had to acknowledge the imposition in 1880 of British control over foreign relations and the adjustment in 1893 of the southern and southeastern boundaries of Afghanistan to the so-called Durand line, which placed under British control territory in India with a large Afghan population.

Life's little luxuries: Boho babe
It's nonsensical to think of ditching the winter clothes just yet. But dressing up your look with jewellery is the perfect way to begin the slow crawl out of a dark winter wardrobe.
LA-based label Melinda Maria's spring/summer 2016 collection has just launched exclusively at Arnotts. Fans of the label include Olivia Palermo and Amal Clooney, two women who are so well-dressed, their imprimatur is almost enough to buy make us buy something sight-unseen. We love these turquoise-and-gold hoop earrings. Men, if there's a woman with boho-style in your life for whom you have yet to get a Valentine's Day present, these earrings are just the thing.

Scientist Stephen Hawking clearly said in his research paper about the religious thought that, there is no limit in the place of this universe, there is no beginning or end of time and there is nothing that can be done by the creator. Again he said that when opened full work of creation, then we are known with God and mankind is share-hold of that knowledge.
Pensive it mentioned below the little serving as an example about reality of Creator and see how our God is!
"Beginning of the creation a part of the power of the nature became divisible as a result of the big bang". Again, "Everything of the present universe is the result of evolution of single energy of Power" i.e. revolving of the sole level picture and evolution of picture or advent of multilateral matter as a result of change.
In or under the circumstances
As I see it that the existence of the God/creator is in everything at all i.e. God is omnivorous i.e. at the root of God or creator is everything at all in the universe. Everything is the result by evolution/variable of her part such as in physics yet shapeless. Again as I see it, energy or ray is the presence of singular dimension, the last position of matter in artificial experiment and test. We found the reality of big bang in the law of single dimension of the physical worlds. Again, we found the influence of gravitational force or universal ray; it proves the partial division of dark energy or black body. Again, the last state of physics is power or ray and there have been the concept that the output of moving of unit energy dimension is everything of the world. Again as I see it, just at this time we are looking- location of dark energy is near about 14 billion light years- yet same event or very moment, from the black body- some one looking- it is again we are in the dark energy. So see- God/creator is at once and always omnipotent, omnipresent, omnivorous or united in all things.

R&B Gold: Duck & Cover
Having spent a fair amount of ink perusing the early-'60s Motown/James Jamerson archives, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at what was happening in other parts of the country during that time. While Motown acquired the trademark "Hitsville, USA," Memphis was also a major hot spot for R&B music, earning the sobriquet "Soulsville, USA." We looked at some of "Memphis Boy" Tommy Cogbill's work last month, but undoubtedly the most well-known 4-banger from that hallowed city is Donald "Duck" Dunn. Born in Memphis in 1941, Dunn's high school band, the Royal Spades, would eventually change its name to the Mar-Keys and have a national hit with their recording "Last Night." The Mar-Keys also featured guitarist Steve Cropper, who would eventually bring Duck into the legendary instrumental outfit Booker T. & the MG's in 1965.
While most people know Duck from his appearances in the Blues Brothers movies, his significance to the world of music was established long before then. The Duck-fueled MG's were the default house band for Memphis' Stax label, playing on a slew of Southern soul/R&B cornerstones, such as Wilson Pickett's "In the Midnight Hour," Otis Redding's "Dock of the Bay," Sam and Dave's "Soul Man," and Albert King's "Born Under a Bad Sign." Although not as technically oriented as Jamerson, Duck's simple directness and his magical lock with drummer Al Jackson were a perfect recipe for hit-making grooves. His tone was thick and round, but with a clear top end that brought out the attack. Duck attributed this in part to the Stax studio's room dynamics: "I thought we sounded terrible in that room—I hated it," he told Bass Player. "They were always asking me to play with a lot of highs, and it sounded too trebly for me. The drums never sounded right, but then we'd walk out and listen to the playback, and the bass would be as round as it could be. Somehow, our sound always made it to tape."
While there are many classic MG's tracks to check out, one that caught my ear is the relatively unknown non-album track "Be My Lady" from 1965. The mix is particularly favorable to the bass, and you can really hear Dunn's muscular right hand pushing the amp into the brown zone. The track is based on a 1–b3–4 progression that reeks of groovy '60s vibe, and the agile bass part is well played by Duck. Example 1 is the basic idea behind "Be My Lady": This riff moves to the IV chord to give the A section a blues-like feeling. The B section (Ex. 2) cuts back to a simpler, dotted-quarter-note rhythm over a b3–b7–b6–5 progression, but Duck is pumping the crap out of each note, creating an almost square-wave-like distortion. The amp sounds like it's going to bust a gut! Pure awesomeness. By the way, to avoid the nightmare of reading Cb's and Fb's, I've notated the b3 of the key enharmonically as a B natural, and the b6 as E natural.
Another great, underappreciated Dunn performance is on Don Covay's "See Saw." Covay got his start as a member of the Little Richard Revue and had a minor hit in 1957 with "Bip, Bop, Bip" under the name Pretty Boy, but he is best known as the writer and original performer of "Mercy, Mercy" (featuring a young Jimi Hendrix on guitar), which was later covered by the Rolling Stones. "See Saw" was also covered mightily by Aretha Franklin on her 1968 disc Aretha Now, but the Queen Of Soul also hit paydirt earlier that year with Covay's "Chain of Fools." The Covay version of "See Saw" has a rougher, less polished feel, but Duck holds the line with an insistence that makes up for the rushed drum fills. Once again, we can hear the distress coming though the amp as Dunn digs into his La Bella flatwound-strung Fender Precision Bass with ferocity. Example 3 is similar to the song's chorus—it's a great example of locking in with the kick drum.
Wilson Pickett's "In the Midnight Hour" is part of the bedrock of soul/R&B, and Duck's presence on that track alone places him in the Hall of Greats. But another less-covered track with "The Wicked Pickett" is "Ninety Nine and a Half (Won't Do)." It's a must-know tune for your deep R&B repertoire, and while essentially simple, it has a quirky intro that is frequently played wrong. Example 4 sets the record straight, but examining the melody/harmony relationships, it's easy to understand the confusion. The first chord is an Em11 on the guitar, with the bass outlining a Bm triad—not too weird, but the guitar voicing makes it ambiguous. The second chord is an Edim7 on the guitar with the notes Bb–D–Gb on the bass, which could be interpreted as a Gb, Bb, or Daug triad. Any way you slice it, the D doesn't completely gel with the E diminished chord, but it's not fatal. Next comes a straightforward G major triad, with the bass playing the first inversion (B–D–G–B), which walks down to the IV chord, an A that sets up the tune's verse (Ex. 5). Notice that while the verse chords are dominant 7's, Duck uses the E major scale to walk back up to the E7, playing a D# to approach the E7 chord.
Much has been written on Duck Dunn; in fact, you can read details of his gear and setup, analysis of his style and technique, and see other transcriptions of his work in my book The R&B Masters: The Way They Play. The official Duck Dunn website announces that an authorized biography, Soul Fingers by Nick Rosaci, is scheduled for release May 1, 2017. While his early work weighs in at several tons of R&B Gold, once he was unchained from his Stax chair, his career carried him far and wide. The Blues Brothers became a multi-generational cultural touchstone, and his recording career also included work with Tom Petty, Ray Charles, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Buffett, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Bob Dylan, John Fogerty, Albert King, Freddie King, Levon Helm, Herbie Mann, Jerry Lee Lewis, Rod Stewart, and many more. Duck left this planet in 2012, but his vast recorded legacy will continue to influence and inspire for generations.

Museum Informatics
My academic work centers on the study of museum informatics, the sociotechnical interactions that take place between people, information, and technology in museums. Over the past few decades, advances in information science and technology have dramatically changed the way people think about museums and their information resources. Museum professionals and museum visitors have developed new conceptions of why museums exist and new expectations of what museums should offer.
To increase understanding of museum informatics and its relation to library and information science, I have worked to establish museum informatics as an emerging, interdisciplinary field of study relevant to researchers, professionals, students and scholars across multiple disciplines.

Spanish Casinos
Gambling is an extremely popular pass time is Spain. In fact, it is estimated that Spain ranks third in the world in the amount of money its citizens spend on gambling each year. It is not surprising, then, that there are over 40 land-based casinos in Spain, spread in all of the country's major cities and regions. Still, the locals await with anticipation the opening of "EuroVegas", a new multi-billion dollar Las-Vega-Style casino city to be build near Madrid. The new complex is expected to include half a dozen large-scale casinos and some 12 hotels. This ambitious project, however, is expected to be completed one piece at a time over the coming decade.
Casinos in Spain have something to offer every taste and budget. Here you can find all the eternally popular casino games, such as Roulette, Blackjack and Punto Banco / Baccarat. Poker is very popular in Spain. Most casinos offer cash games and the opportunity to participate in various Poker tournaments. Here you can also play Spanish Poker, also called "Synthetic Poker", a Spanish variation of Omaha Poker common in Spanish casinos.
Spain is divided to 17 Autonomous Communities and 2 Autonomous Cities (Ceuta and Melilla). The minimum gambling age of 18 years and older is the same in all regions. A valid photo ID is required. The dress code and opening hours vary significantly. On Casinos Europe you can find a complete guide to all casinos in Spain. Just choose from the list below to search for Spanish casinos by region.

The far right is unquestionably escalating its violence against those who oppose their agenda of racism, sexism, and fascism. I'm not going to waste your time with cautions about the legal or ethical perils of physical violence. I'll assume you are all adults and you wouldn't be interested in damaging people's bodies unless your own life and physical safety were under attack. Nor will I digress here with thoughts on the limits of nonviolence, or the propensity of privileged white people to demand wholly nonviolent activism, while ignoring the impact of structural violence on non-white, non-privileged people. Maybe in another post. My purpose is simply to alert people to the process by which the alt-right tends to escalate "protest" into mass assault, and provide a few basic ideas for reducing injury to oneself is such a situation.

Hello State Violence, My Old Friend
In light of the deadly racist terrorism in Charlottesville, and the police response that seems to have exacerbated it, I'm bumping up this post on law enforcement and the increasing violence from racist/alt-right/pro-Trump supporters at protests:
Two New Pieces: RAD and DIY
Jezebel featured another thing I wrote! This one is about the horrifying student manual for Rape Aggression Defense, the most popular women's self defense program on college campuses. Take a RAD class and you will learn, among other things, that you shouldn't try to run away from an attacker unless you get 30 minutes of aerobic exercise at least three times per week. Otherwise, running may make you too tired to fight. Yes, they really tell you that.
I have new column up at McSweeney's as well–this one about those darling Do-It-Yourself "anti-rape gloves" featured recently on Instructables:
What I find fascinating, reading through these directions, is the way the glove-maker's amorphous anxiety about his sister's safety is transformed, through a laborious 15-step process, into a tangible object, a comforting piece of proof against the risks his sister faces: a weapon. You can almost see the therapeutic benefits accrue as the worried man applies his knowledge and skills to the problem. In his workshop, he has tools to help him create safety: clamps, vice grips, an angle grinder, a drill press, an automatic center punch, a vernier caliper. Every material he handles is measured, every step is planned. The process offers control. It requires precision. It lets the glove-maker think creatively, consider options, make choices—all things that help us feel we're in command of our lives.
Are the gloves he produces going to help to his sister? It's possible. Unfortunately they aren't dressy enough to wear on dates, which is when women are most likely to be assaulted.
Update on Police De-escalation Dialogue
For those of you who signed our letter to APD, here's the email I sent today to every member of the Austin City Council, plus the Mayor:
Dear [Council Member or Mayor X],
On January 2nd, I sent the attached letter, co-signed by 31 Austin community members, to Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo. The letter requests some information, and an open dialogue, on the type and amount of de-escalation training APD officers receive.
As of today, we have received no reply to this letter. As the letter states, we feel that the issue of police use of force is an important one for our community, and we believe that an open conversation on this topic will help us collaboratively reduce violence and build mutual trust among all Austinites. We are asking for your help in encouraging Chief Acevedo and the Austin Police Department to respond to our initial requests for information, and begin a conversation on a topic that is becoming increasingly important nationally as well as locally.
Thank you for all you do to help keep Austin a safe and just place to live.
Susan Schorn
The body and signatories of the original letter were appended.
I'll keep people apprised of any response. Our next level of amplification will be contacting local media, which doesn't strike me as a particularly soul-enriching activity, but we'll do it if necessary.
Take Action: De-escalation query letter for local law enforcement
In light of recent events, I'm gathering signatures on a letter that will go to Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo, asking about the amount and type of de-escalation training our local police receive. This is the first step in what I hope will be a public conversation about police training and tactics, and their role in community violence. I'm convinced that the lack of high-quality training in de-escalation skills is a big factor in excessive-force incidents involving police. Insufficient training in this area places officers as well as citizens at risk; thus, police departments that don't take de-escalation training seriously are demonstrating a failure of leadership.
If you'd like to take local action to reduce violence involving law enforcement officials, please feel free to use this letter as a model.
NB: I've created this post, on my web site, for people interested in pressing for good quality de-escalation training for law enforcement personnel. If you don't think that's an appropriate course of action–for whatever reason–go write about your feelings on your own website. Do not post your opinions here. Any comments that I feel do not promote healthy discussion will be summarily deleted–though I reserve the right to screenshot them in draft form in order to publicly humiliate the poster on social media if I see fit.
To: Art Acevedo, Chief of Police
Austin Police Department
715 E. Eighth St.
Austin, TX 78701
Dear Chief Acevedo,
We write to you in a spirit of collaboration, hoping to open a dialogue about how we can reduce violence in the community where we all live and work.
In the wake of recent police shootings in Ferguson, Missouri; Cleveland, Ohio; New York City; and elsewhere in the United States, we have grown increasingly concerned about the frequent use of force by law enforcement personnel. In many cases, police seem to use lethal force when it is not warranted. Too often, this has led to tragic results.
The Austin Police Department itself was, as recently as 2011, investigated by the U.S. Department of Justice; we understand that one of the resulting recommendations from the DOJ involved identifying training issues that would minimize the use of force by APD personnel. We are concerned that police officers across the country, and in our own community, receive inadequate training and practice in de-escalation methods. In an effort to understand how the Austin Police Department prepares its officers for the responsible use of force while on duty, we are seeking the following information:
How many hours of training, initially and continuing, do APD officers receive in the following areas:
Firearms – We would like to know what initial training is required before officers are permitted to carry a firearm on duty, the minimum training and practice required in order for them to continue carrying their firearm, and the amount and type of training they typically receive in addition to that minimum.
Non-lethal force – Tasers, beanbags, pepper spray, etc. Again: How are officers initially prepared to use these methods, and how much regular practice and training do they receive thereafter?
De-escalation tactics – Again, we are interested in both initial and recurring training in crisis intervention, recognizing mental health issues, tactical disengagement (non-intervention), specific verbal de-escalation tactics, physical de-escalation tactics (e.g., non-confrontational body language), active listening, and related skills.
We are particularly interested in the amount of dedicated, scenario-based practice time officers receive for each area. If force option simulators are used, we would also like to know the ratio of violent to non-violent outcomes they are programmed to simulate.
We are seeking this information not in order to provoke confrontation or to cast blame. Rather, we genuinely seek to understand how the men and women who are charged with protecting our lives and property are prepared for that important and difficult work. We feel that an informed, respectful conversation on this topic is the best way to achieve our common goal of public safety.
Susan Schorn
Austin, Texas

Hillary Clinton's top aide said during a deposition that the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee destroyed her schedules as the head of the State Department, according to a new report.
Huma Abedin revealed the information last week during a deposition over Clinton's use of a private email server while secretary of State, The New York Post reported Monday.
"If there was a schedule that was created that was her secretary of State daily schedule, and a copy of that was then put in the burn bag, that . . . that certainly happened on . . . on more than one occasion," Abedin reportedly said while she was being deposed by Judicial Watch, which is seeking access to Clinton's emails.
Abedin's comments came in response to a question from a Judicial Watch lawyer: "And during your tenure at the State Department, were you aware of your obligation not to delete federal records or destroy federal records?"

Honda showed its Advanced Sports Car Concept at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show, a preview of the next-generation Accura NSX, but failed to deliver a production version — as Honda said it would — at the 2007 Tokyo show.
According to Dick Colliver, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., the delay has been because designers couldn't agree on the NSX's styling. "All of the designers are working together on the Accura NSX, but they can't agree on the styling," he said in January this year.
American Honda President and CEO Tetsuo Iwamura recently confirmed the Accura NSX will be launched in the U.S. in 2010. Honda will also be launching the Acura brand in Japan and Europe around the same time, but the automaker says it will launch the NSX in the U.S. market first.

In order to create a new habit and achieve your goals, you have to change from the inside out. You have to take control of your internal world so that your thoughts and feelings can positively influence your outer reality. The best way to do that is to foster a positive and empowering mindset that will allow you to pursue your goals without hesitation.
Let's examine what this kind of empowering mindset looks like.
The most empowering belief you can adapt is to know that you are in control and that you always have a choice. You choose your own beliefs, you choose what you want to focus on and you choose the decisions and the actions that you take. This is a very powerful belief system because it means that you take full responsibility for your actions without having to deflect blame onto others. It is true that you don't have control over everything that happens around you, but you can control the meaning you assign to external events and how to react to them. If for instance you work in a very busy, competitive and reactive environment, you can either see this as a reason to emulate the behavior and get stressed, or instead define your own way of working based on what you know will generate the best results.
I have faith that the right things will come to me as a result of my actions
Part of having a positive and empowering mindset is to trust that as long as you do what can reasonable be expected of you, then the right things will happen. There is no need to worry unnecessarily that things might not work out or to imagine what failure looks like. In fact, focusing too much on the things that you don't want is likely to derail you because you attract the things that you focus on. Your beliefs determine your reality. If you believe you will fail, chances are that you will. If you encounter a risk, by all means mitigate it, but then let it go. Spending time worrying about the things you cannot control is lost energy. Empower yourself by being proactive and by focusing on the right strategy and trust that success will follow.
I see the opportunity in every situation
A great way to set yourself up for success is to make sure that you don't get discouraged or distracted by the issues or obstacles that you come across. We all encounter issues, but the difference between successful people and those who are not, is the way in which they deal with the unforeseen. Successful people approach difficult tasks as challenges to be mastered rather than as threats to be avoided. When something unexpected happens, ask yourself how you can move forward in spite of the issues and which new opportunities have opened up as a result. Your job is to focus on the opportunity and the way forward rather than the obstacle itself.
I believe in myself and I am my own best cheerleader
In order to achieve your leadership goals, you first have to believe in yourself. You won't come across as trustworthy, impactful and inspiring if you don't have a strong regard for yourself. You have to feel that you are worthy of achieving the things that you dream of, and you have to have absolute faith that as long as you take the necessary action, then you can be every bit as successful as everybody else. This belief in yourself is not about being arrogant or putting yourself above the team. It simply means that you feel worthy of the things you desire. Feel this worth in every cell of you body and don't leave your home in the morning until you fully embrace that feeling.
There is no such thing as failure; only opportunities to grow and learn
An empowering mindset is also one in which you don't let fear of failure hold you back. If you are afraid of stepping up and showing yourself as a leader out of fear that you aren't good enough – or that others might laugh at you – then you won't get very far. You need to alter your view of failure into something constructive and allow yourself to feel the fear and do it anyway. Your failures provide the opportunity to learn and grow and will genuinely move you forward as long as you take on board the lessons. When you change your thinking pattern into one that doesn't see failure, you take away an enormous chunk of negative energy and worry. You free yourself up to pursue that which is truly important.
When I decided to give up my job and become an independent project leadership coach, I faced a huge amount of fear. I had been an employee for 17 years and never before run my own business. Would I be good enough? Would people want to work with me and would I be able to make money? It took me many months to come to terms with this fear and to not let it control me. At the end of the day I had to have faith that as long as I did what had proven to work for other successful people, I would be successful too. I began to study all the great entrepreneurs around me and stopped focusing on failure. In fact I began to see my business as an experiment that I would learn from, in one way or another, even if one day I were to go back into employment.
Be fully committed to doing what it takes
Becoming an inspiring leader who adds value in everything that you do may not be achieved in a matter of days. It will take you months or even years and will require you to be fully committed to doing whatever it takes and to learn and refine your approach. Sure, there will be times when you lose sight of the overall goal, but your drive and commitment and positive frame of mind will get you back on track. At the end of the day it is your grit that will keep you going. All successful people have needed to rely on their determination to get to where they wanted. So stay committed to your goals. With a positive and empowering mindset you will reach them.

Sometimes, when there's a gale blowing, our tin shack perched on a sand dune on the east coast of Tasmania feels like it might fly away. I sit in front of windows and see my image bounce towards me and then bounce back.
Last summer, bushfires came within 30 kilometres of the shack three times. Summer is another country we visit more nervously each year but it is winter now and the morning after the big blow the world is wind-scrubbed and blue. I walk along the beach, marvelling at the sunlight in the whiteness of the waves. Winter sunlight is a Tassie delicacy, like fresh scallops cooked in breadcrumbs. The scallop season opened last weekend.
I never come to the shack without books. If I don't like any of them my back-up is James Joyce's Finnegan's Wake. I've never got to the end of it - in fact, I've never got to the start of it: I just open it and read a page or two.
Words fail me in trying to describe Finnegan's Wake because it is only partly about words. It's also about sounds and what Joyce called the logic of the night. The book's a dream, half-recognisable in the way that dreams are. I dream a lot at the shack. The woman in the next place along, the one burnt out by the bushfire three years ago, says it comes from living beside so much water engaged in the ceaseless conversation of earth, sea and sky.
This week, I read Beautiful Exile, a biography of Martha Gellhorn by Carl Rollyson. Gellhorn (pictured) was the third wife of Ernest Hemingway and resented being constantly reminded of the fact. She thought her life was more interesting than that, and she was right. Men ultimately disappointed Gellhorn. Hemingway said she loved humanity but couldn't stand people.
Gellhorn is sometimes described as the first female war correspondent. Apparently this is not the case, but where the 20th century went, she was close behind - trim, brave, attractive, charming and, according to this book, capable of using sex as a means to an end. Only one man ever thrilled her sexually but, ultimately, she didn't want an erotic relationship since it bound her to one place. Martha Gellhorn went everywhere.
One reason Hemingway disappointed Gellhorn was because initially he did not want to report on World War II, preferring to stay in Cuba, visit bars, go fishing and write novels. Gellhorn wanted to play her part in the eternal battle of good and evil, and expected him to do likewise.
Martha Gellhorn went for life like an arrow fired from a bow and flew higher and longer than all but a few. She was a journalist with strongly political views who wrote thousands, probably millions, of words. When she died in 1998, at the age of 89, she was like a walking history of the 20th century. But today she is little known.
To live beside the sea, to be buffeted by winds that have fashioned a rugged coastline, to see the sun fall each dusk and rise immense the next day, to be reminded of the great age of the stars, is to be nudged towards the belief that human life is of transient significance.
I have an atheist friend with terminal cancer who delights in telling me, ''In 30,000 years, they won't even remember Shakespeare.''
So, in the end, what matters? I once asked a very old man I respected that question. He said kindness.

Made by Bob was FANTASTIC, everything about it was fantastic. As anyone who knows me personally will testify I am an 'its all in the details' person (sadly I am never able to apply this to my own home) anyway Bobs ticked all the boxes for me on detail. You can pop in for coffee and muffins, pastries etc from first thing, lunch starts at 12, and then they do afternoon tea as well. (I will have to return for afternoon tea as there was something chocolatey in the oven while we were eating lunch, the smell was making me drool! but I was too full for pudding). The place has a really buzzy and friendly vibe, there was a really nice mix of people and the staff weren't at all sniffy about an excited 2 year old dressed as Sportacus from lazytown!! There is also a deli stacked with fabulous fresh produce, and I spied a variety of salami which i always buy in Italy. They also had their own home made version of the ready meal, in generous jars of pasta sauce (I bought mum aubergine, tomato, olive and ricotta), pots of fresh pesto, big pots of fish soup (which came with a little pot of gruyere and rouille). You could easily buy the bits and pieces for a lovely mediteranean dinner party here.
Anyway onto lunch, we kicked off with a plate of bread, olives and salsa verde. The bread was potato bread and oh wow it was good, so good in fact that we had to ask for more!!! Then Dad had a plate of charcuterie, which was very very good - so often you just get a bit of salalmi and proscuito but this had lots of variety and generously covered the plate, also had olives and pickled chillies and large caper berries, My 2 said yuk to the lovely broad beans I was trying to shovel in him from my plate and merrily tucked into grampys charcuterie! I had eggy pasta with salsicca, broad beans, peas and mint. It was divine I haven't had such a good bowl of pasta since I last went to Italy. It had a lovely clingy buttery sauce, YUM. Mum had white onion, asparagus and taleggio tart, so delicious was it that she scoffed it nearly all to herself I did get a little taste and it was gorgeous.
If I hadn't scoffed so much bread I might have had room for pudding. But I was defeated so I will have to return at a later date (what a shame!!!!)
I really hope made by bob does brilliantly in Cirencester and we wish him and his family every success, this place is just what Cirencester needs.

going to the rims
door handle &
stain on the upper door
"do u remember how deep is your love? Bee gees"
now how deep is your dirt
Thank God it is protected ..otherwise ....
not too bad looking rite? now you dont....
BUT Close Up PIC define the dirt...how dirt can camouflage itself
now you see
look at the stains on the bumper
moving to the interior
MENU for the day
A good good bath with OPTI wash .....& rinsing off
Interior ...WIPE down with damp micro fiber
& protected with leather protectant ( will post the interior pic later)
how opti coat work
Zebra - 3 months later
2 weeks ago
i drop by to pick my mum, in my sis house....& wanting to know how is this zebra doing

It's been a long time since I checked in and there are very many blog posts waiting to be written, photos to be posted, and books to be reviewed.
But just to dip my toes back in the water, I thought I'd post a quick update on what has happened since the end of November.
I have read some books (though not many recently), and might actually
post a combined review sometime but the biggest news of course is this:
That and moving back to the US, of course. More to follow (and probably be backdated to the correct times).

Millennial Women Still Face Career Hurdles
PricewaterhouseCoopers U.S. chairman and senior partner Bob Moritz joins WSJ's Sara Murray to discuss his company's recent study outlining the role of millennial women in the workplace and the challenges facing the next generation of leaders.
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
... millennial women are more educated than their male counterparts and were content in any other generation when it ... was still set it up for them to climb the corporate ladder ... I saw Oster present chairman and senior partner Bob Moritz joins me now reflect on things that was for being here at the ... scene is recently did a study that looked at this issue only women in particular ... and I found that ... fifty one percent of women said they appealed to reach the senior at levels that the current flare sixty one percent of men in the same thing ... making all of these teams why is it is ... well I think you've got a gap for two reasons one is the environments ... that are operating and and again it's a response to a corporate secrete the right environment for women to be successful and deal with the challenges for opportunities that they wanna pursue which are affected than men ... we think about being perhaps the primary caretaker for example ... second you've got to give real issues where again upper Tesla Charles embers new book talks more about the behavior for women to want those opportunities ... as Evans by the survey report just came out ... they are a swing at the White House talking about workplace ounces for the summit there ... instead they find that men and women essentially both new work life balance is really important priority to put this conversation always happens in the context of when and we're always talking about women in their work life balance ... the ring meant that conversation yet met men are equally interested in just a step back and next-generation study showed that about seventy percent of the National lands what we put a higher value on flexibility to work choice in terms of where they were Cal landline sector ... it's not that much different spots sixty two percent for baby pool ... now then you can slice and safe from a women's perspective there's a perception that it's more for this An increasing uppity for men to want the same things ... so now the question becomes heady get it ... so in order to be successful ... in order to do these things organizations are really a step back and say how can I actually leverage for example technology ... to create part-time jobs to work at home center whatever the individual choices may be and that's what mentions really wants the choice to control their own destiny so much ice Last Coopers for second how you let's put this into play at your company ... create some kind of flexibility that doesn't also and that kind of mommy tracking when it so that they never reached a senior level yes so the couple things that happen here could be saved one it is a tone of the top issues aren't our leadership team is ingrained in this talking about this ... and hope example find this because you know look up and see it happening ... second we are enabling the organization support number of people to do this ... flexibility is that not a high sports a team sport and we've acted on the Korean things like Cineplex a Billy concepts for the team ... will support one another to actually get the flexible than a walk ... and last year last question ... we've actually set up or we want white males to be part of this process the dead is successful is a two way conversation ... so if the programs like white men as diverse Egypt it's actually help with this exercise to make sure the violence wracked supports their and flexibility is an option for what they concerns as it's ... easier to flexibility if you're a sampling of PricewaterhouseCoopers if there were these higher level employees that the woman who's working and that Donaldson who clearing minimum wage ... flexibility is just kind of a pipe dream for someone like him suffering is talking about kind of government benefits was so curious having to spend at the White House ... what's your take T think it's time for the U S have a policy we are require to peanut maternity and paternity leave is is the law yes so if you look at the U S and its competitive right now the competitiveness right now where not at the par that we need to be below the summit is to say talking to ... and I do think there's an opportunity for the business committee and government to work together to talk about things like would you do Iran said it would do about maternity and paternity leave when you do around flexibility options when you do the minimum wage ... that was the conversation we had last week with the White House in some of the actions that we're debating ... the question obviously is politically can get some of the stopped on ... an interim may be the better thing to do was to demonstrate organizations and are doing that well ... talk about the benefits that come from that isn't all know if you've got the better benefits people are more likely being gauge if the morn days the more productive and more productive it's a better bottom line and the ... country for all of the task is keen on Sept is gases question all the time and then almost never do ... there chatting earlier the you have two kids ... how do you reach this balance between your work and your personal life would take that to me as the three things number one it's gonna be a priority feel you've gotta make the choice in terms of what's important any to speak your mind about that ... second you gotta ask for help ... the reality is I he was not able to do things those of the duo's a single dad going through divorce so I had a goal for the same exercise ... in terms of taking care of kids picking up at home doing homework It's entropy can ask for help ... and then third ... you really gotta make shore that at the end of the day the organization knows that you're doing these things ... because you don't want to be so the deal signed an online you wanna be represented as the role ... and this way the more you talk about it the more support in to get more support to get them or build your next achieve this I abhor its really that that thing say much for joining us today ...

Lauren Stephens has been a Local and National Advocate for Families and Conservative Causes Since 1994.
Lauren first got her start in political activism right here in Fresno, in 1994, and has worked on behalf of families and other causes ever since. Her family ties to Fresno County go all the way back to the 1800's, when her family first came here. Like Lauren, they are business owners and entrepreneurs as well. They are hard working, salt of the earth people who have built a lot of what you see here in town and around the state.
Lauren has two sons, Lazaro – a recent graduate of Sanger High School, and Eric - who attends a special needs school in Fresno. Most of her large extended family is right here in the district (Prather and Clovis), which makes it all the more important to her.
Her oldest son was chosen by the American Legion (out of thousands of students) to represent Sanger High at Boys State in Sacramento, and now works at a local TV Station. Her youngest son is determined to join the military, one way or another, when he gets out of school!
A few years ago, Lauren got married and relocated. When she returned three years ago to the home her family built back in 1978 (at Temperance and Tulare) she was unpleasantly surprised to find that now, there is a freeway practically going through her front yard and a lot of the surrounding land has been rezoned from residential rural and agriculture to make way for fitting as many houses as possible into very little space.
The once rural area in District 5 is now under siege by politicians from adjacent cities who want to make their donors happy. In fact, this was one of the largest factors in Lauren's decision to run for County Supervisor.
Fighting on behalf of others is nothing new for Lauren, who ran for office when she lived in Wisconsin and served on her city's Board of Ethics, where she was appointed by the City Council.
While most other candidates only seem to focus on the needs of businesses (because that's where the money is, of course!), in addition to that, Lauren is also taking up the cause of families and children who have been the most affected by the policies of the Fresno County Board of Supervisors – especially the county's mental health system – which is in IMMEDIATE need of attention.
Lauren was also a Professional Power of Attorney (Family Rights Advocate) for more than ten years – speaking on behalf of fathers and their children in family court and working with various government agencies to make sure that children from broken homes had equal access to their fathers, which is still not the standard in custody and child support cases.
Lauren is proud to be a DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution), and feels blessed to have several family members – and many friends, who have served our country. Because of this, one of the most important issues of her campaign is focused on Veterans. Honoring our vets takes a lot more than a photo opp, and she is determined to do whatever she can to make sure our returning Vets have the resources they need and the respect they deserve.
Lauren is about half way towards getting her degree in Public Administration and History. When her student debt started to rise, she decided to spend four years paying it off, and then finishing up her degree.
As a mom, and as a woman, Lauren says that being fiscally conservative isn't just a campaign slogan, it is a way of life. Due to her ability and willingness to live within her means, she is able to lead the fight to permanently slash County Supervisor salaries – because being a public servant should be a calling, not a career.
So far, Lauren is the only candidate running for any local office who has been willing to lead by example and promise taxpayers that she means what she says when it comes to saving money and running for office for the right reasons. Her fight to permanently lower the pay of politicians is not a gimmick. It is the real deal.
Lastly, Lauren is a business owner. Her business specializes in public relations, social media, and websites for businesses, non-profits and organizations. She plans to use her knowledge to help modernize the online services that Fresno County provides, in order to help save the county a lot of money, and provide a better customer service experience for residents and businesses.

BillGuard Review
BillGuard App Review
Do you want to save money but aren't quite sure how to go about it successfully? One way to do it is to take advantage of one of the "money saving" apps that are available for your smart phone or tablet.
That said, however…
There are tons on the market – so how do you know which app is right for you? That's why we have reviewed a lot of various money-saving and budgeting apps in our Top 20 Best Money Saving Apps in 2017 article and why we wanted to take a moment and expand on this article by spending some time specifically reviewing BIllGuard on its own and answering some of the questions you may have about BillGuard such as:
- Is BillGuard safe?
- Is BillGuard legitimate?
- And will BillGuard actually help me save money?
We're also going to take a look at some of the pros and cons that we can see by using BillGuard so that you can get a better idea about whether or not BillGuard is right for you. So, without further ado, let's dive right in!
What is BillGuard?
As we mentioned, BillGuard is a money-saving app. However, it is actually more than that. Unlike other apps, it's highlighted feature is that it helps you to know if there is any fraudulent activity on your cards or bank accounts. And unlike some of the other money saving apps that we've review such as Qapital. BillGuard's primary role is to alert you to any "potentially" fraudulent activitiy.
When you think of fraudulent activity, you think of all those big spending sprees done by someone who breaks the bank! But actually, there's a lot of fraudulent activity that happens on the "down low" – smaller charges here and there that you might not even notice on your card. BillGuard reviews your purchases line by line to make sure nothing fishy is going on.
How does it BillGuard work?
BillGuard works by basically bringing "questionable transactions" to your attention so you can review them and make sure they are legit. If not, you can catch them and report them to your bank or credit card company immediately.
There's also the issue…
Of all those "automatic charges" that we tend to forget about. Signed up for a dating site and are still paying monthly charges despite the fact that you don't even use the service anymore? Or how about that gym membership that yo haven't used in 5 years? BillGuard points out these "types" of charges too, and hopefully helps you eliminate them, ultimately helping you save more money.
Founders of BillGuard
BillGuard was founded in 2010 by Yaron Samid and Raphael Ouzan. The company was acquired by Prosper Marketplace in 2015. Proper Marketplace is most widely known for its fork in peer-to-peer lending.
Why Use BillGuard?
In addition to what we've already mentioned, there are some other great things about Billguard.
Change Your Spending Habits
In addition to looking for fraud or errors, BillGuard will help you get a better picture of your overall finances. It will see where you might be overspending and help you to change your habits to help you save.
Easy User Interface
It's not very difficult or confusing to use Billguard. This is a major plus, especially if this is your first time trying to use an app for budgeting purposes.
It's Free!
You can download BillGuard for free!
Potential Cons of BillGuard
This wouldn't be a fair review of Billguard if we didn't point out at least one possible con of using BillGuard. To be honest, we don't really know if it is a con, but it is something worth mentioning…
BillGuard "primary" goal isn't to help you save money, it's to help you detect and avoid fraud. Now, "not getting ripped off" will certainly help you save money, but if you are looking for an app that specializes in helping you to save then another app might actually help you do a better job at that.
For this reason…
Perhaps BillGuard, would best be used in combination with another "truly" money saving app with will allow you to take advantage of both worlds, fraud detection and money management!
Now at this point…
We generally like to mention that we here at TermLife2Go are not money managers, or financial experts or fraud detection specialists. Which bring us to the obvious question that many of you may for us right about now which is:
"Why is TermLife2Go writing a Review of BillGuard?"
It does sound funny, doesn't it? Taking advice on a personal budgeting app from a company that specializes in helping folks purchase life insurance, right?
At first glance, yes it may come across as strange. But the reason we're reviewing money saving apps falls right in line with our primary goal here at TermLife2Go which is to help our clients secure the financial security of their family.
And while…
We personally believe that purchasing a life insurance policy will go a long way in doing this (just in case you'd like to compare Term Life Insurance Quotes), so will managing your managing your money well and avoiding going into debt!
And just for the record…
We here at TermLife2Go do not receive any type of "compensation" from BillGuard for writing this article. Nor do we have any type of "business" relationship with BillGuard. Which is why we would recommend that before you make any decisions about using BillGuard or not, you should first visit Proper.com, the parent site for BillGuard and decide for yourself.
So, what'd you think?
Did you enjoy our BillGuard app review? Well if so, you may also like to take a look at some of our other "money saving" articles or better yet, you can also take a look at our 100 Ways to Make Money Fast article, because after all, isn't more fun to MAKE more money than to have to worry about saving more money?

First Look Friday: James Tillman's Got Soul From "Shangri-La" To Brazil [Audio/Video Premiere + Interview]
When a friend passed us James Tillman's debut EP Shangri-La, we had one of those breeze-of-fresh-air moments that this First Look Fridays column was created for. the first chords inspired an instant lift in mood, combined with the joy of discovery, combined with the simple but profound pay-off of a gift received; kind of like making somebody homemade food and being repaid with an original painting or one-person concert. It was a bit like the first time we heard KING, the first time we heard Moses Sumney…incredible music made even more singular by the human exchange with only the smallest and best kind of mediation by technology.
The friend in question was frequent Okayafrica contributor and homie Chief Boima, who caught James' show at The New School and then ran into him again in Brazil for a Rio recording session. Those first chords were the opening strains of "Love Within" (listen below via OKP world premiere!) which combine quietly intricate, samba-inflected guitar work with James' whispery voice, developing from an intimate folk-pop soliloquy into something deeper, an impromptu symphony fleshed out with soulful string arrangements.
Now that Shangri-La is almost ready to meet the world (the 4-track EP hits iTunes on April 29th. For now fans can get updates via James' facebook page) Okayplayer is extremely proud to premiere both "Love Within" and the inaugural single and video "And Then" in conjunction with this First Look profile. Scroll down to get to know James a little with this introductory conversation and experience the song and video. Meanwhile to get that human connection yourself, catch James on April 30th when he plays an intimate show at Rockwood Stage 3 (60-seat capacity, $8 advance, $10 at the door) to launch the EP release. We recommend you take advantage of the chance while he's still (mostly) unknown!
OKP: How did the Brazil studio sessions come about—do you have roots there or travel there independent of music?
James Tillman: The Brazil studio sessions were the result of befriending Sergio Sayeg here at school. He's from Brazil and used to play guitar for the group Garotas Suecas. We started collaborating and I gave him some of my old home-recorded demos. A little while after, he informed me that he sent them to his friend Nick Graham-Smith in Brazil, who had produced his first record with Garotas. He said that Nick liked the music, so much so that he offered to help me record a project if I could make it down to Brazil.
I immediately laughed at the whimsical idea, but then all the pieces started to fall into place. I already had a good amount of songs written. The airline my stepmom worked for started a new flight directly to Sao Paulo a month earlier, so I was able to get a cheap plane ticket. Sergio also wanted to make the trip and offered me a spare room at his parent's place, so I had a place to stay. Nick was able to get Curumin and a group of amazing musicians on board for the sessions, and then my boss graciously gave me time off to make the trip.
OKP: How the environment affected the songwriting or recording, if at all?—there's no one element that's specifically Brazilian (maybe the guitar work on "Love Within") but the whole project does have a very light samba-ish touch or mood—is it something in the water?

Assistant Professor in Art History (000473)
University of Richmond
Application deadline: 30th October 2016
The Department of Art and Art History at the University of Richmond invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track position at the level of Assistant Professor in the field of medieval art, to begin August 2017. We seek a scholar-teacher whose field of expertise is the art of the medieval period (c. 500-1300 C.E.), with a primary geographical focus on Europe or the Mediterranean basin. We also invite applications from scholars whose work takes a more trans-regional approach. Ideally, candidates would have at least a secondary expertise in Islamic art and architecture and an interest in the rich cultural exchange of the pre-modern Mediterranean.

Since the commencement of cinema industry, romantic movies have been primarily liked by women. Even today when some new romantic movie hits the cinema hall, it is certainly a striking and an appropriate excuse for ladies night out gathering. Below mentioned are some of the basic reasons that why do girls like romantic movies so much.
Women soon get in touch with the emotions shown in the movie, Women are emotional beings and thus, while watching a romantic movie, they feel good on hearty laughs and let their tears flow while watching others. Girls generally flow with the scenes and feelings shown in the movie like love finding scenes, falling in love scenes and then losing love scenes. Usually, girls see their own image and feelings in that movie and so is the reason behind their liking.
Generally, every woman dreams that one day she will met a man who will sweep of her feet. They have no face in their delusion and these romantic movies put a face on their dream man. Moreover, girls also release their romantic frustration watching these movies. The chief reason is soft and good music too.
Girls like perfect marriages and happy families as shown in the romantic movies that you have met a man who is fulfilling all your desires and is loving and caring you just the way you want. That dream man will defends you against physical attack and falls in love with you. These are the things which girls love watching.
In a romantic movie, unrealistic relationships are there in which love flows in the air and that is what girls love to watch. Girls like partners which may love and care for them and so is shown in the romantic movies. That is why girls like these movies the most.

Motilium belongs to a group of medications known as peripherally selective dopamine D2 receptors. And it's used primarily as an antiemetic, gastroprokinetic agent, and galactogogue. The treatment can be taken by means of the mouth or rectally. It can be found in tablet form, orally, disintegrating tablets, suspension and suppositories. Motilium can be used in order to help offer relief for nausea and vomiting. It can help food to move better through the stomach (by means of heightening gastrointestinal peristalsis) and it can help to promote lactation by releasing prolactin.
What are some of the more serious side affects you might be at risk of if you decide to use Motilium?
Breast milk flowing from the nipple
Dry mouth
Swelling of the breast in the male
Hot flashes
Itching of skin
Itching, redness, pain, or swelling of eye
Menstrual irregularities
Pain in the breast
What are some of the more serious/rare side affects you might be at risk of if you decide to use this medicational treatment?
Change in need to urinate
Change in appetite
Burning, difficult, or painful urination
Difficulty in speaking
Lack or loss of strength
Leg cramps
Mental dullness
Stomach cramps
What's a doctor going to be watching out for when they issue you this medication and how can this help them to improve your experience?
When you use a prescription medication it's not always about what that drug is designed to do for you in the long run. Doctors have to look very carefully at what a drug is going to mean for you in the short term and throughout the course of you using it. There are some situations where the ends just might not justify the means. You have to be monitored (preferably) when using a treatment such as Motilium for different reasons. Here are a few of them:
A doctor has to be sure that the medication isn't causing you any intolerable side effects. Some minor side effects are expected. But these are side effects that can be tolerated. More serious problems can get to a level where you can't tolerate them (meaning the end doesn't justify the means). In this case adjustments will have to be made.
A doctor wants to see how your body reacts initially to using the medication. Some drugs are designed to offer a fairly fast response when taken. When this doesn't happen then there might be a reason for it and in order to stop you from continuing use (which wouldn't benefit you as it should) adjustments have to be made. This doesn't mean you would stop using the drug altogether though.
A doctor wants to make sure the progress you make is as expected. This means as you move through different stages of using a drug like Motilium, then you should be improving at a certain rate. When this isn't happening then once again you need to be looked at in order to see what the problem is or to see if there's a problem at all. In a lot of cases there might not be, but this doesn't mean it will be ignored.
You won't always require monitoring by a medical professional when using a drug like Motilium or any drug. It's best though if you do at least have access to a medical professional just to be on the safe side.

Fund managers focusing on water infrastructure note that with cities growing around the world, and with the potential effects of climate change, the need for building, updating and maintaining water sources is a growing, long-term trend. Three fund managers offer selected picks of water infrastructure and technology companies with promise in this sector: Simon Gottelier, co-manager of Impax Asset Management Group PLC's Water Strategy fund; Scott Rickards, founder and chief executive officer of Waterfund LLC; and Jason Gibbs, vice-president and portfolio manager at Dynamic mutual funds.
Simon Gottelier, Impax
Xylem Inc. (XYL-NYSE)
A leading global water technology provider, enabling customers to transport, treat, test and efficiently use water in public utility, residential and commercial building services, and industrial and agricultural settings. Mr. Gottelier likes Xylem as a water infrastructure play, even though it is sensitive to ups and downs of the economy.
Valmont Industries Inc. (VMI-NYSE)
Valmont Industries is one of the world's leading providers of engineered products and services for infrastructure, and irrigation equipment for agriculture. "One area we have been a little contrarian is we think irrigation companies are quite interesting. Valuations have become attractive."
Danaher Corp. (DHR-NYSE)
Danaher is a science and technology leader that designs, manufactures and markets innovative products and services to professional, medical, industrial and commercial customers. "A very large company with particular expertise in high-tech water treatment and UV disinfection. It is acquisitive, extremely well-managed and well-capitalized."
Scott Rickards, Waterfund
Water Asset Management LLC
"This New York-based hedge fund is the best vehicle for capturing a mix of water rights and a select basket of infrastructure assets, primarily in the western U.S."
Oasys Water (private company)
"Companies that are active in water treatment for hydraulic fracturing are also very attractive. Oasys is very active in Texas, where oil and gas companies have a higher cost tolerance than other wholesale water companies."
Jason Gibbs, Dynamic
American Water (AWK-NYSE)
Mr. Gibbs says American Water fits his "defensive water theme" in that they operate local regulated utilities and have a large capital spending program ahead of them that should result in increased earnings and dividends over time."

From the WSJ yesterday:
After a sizzling start to the year, gasoline futures prices are sliding, easing pressures on drivers and the U.S. economy and raising the prospect that prices at the pump could be headed lower still.
Gasoline futures, a key yardstick for wholesale prices, are down 6.3% from their high for the year reached on March 26, as the price of crude oil that gets refined into gasoline has dropped a similar amount amid easing tension over Iran, the world's fourth-largest oil producer.
Joanne Shore, a senior analyst of the EIA, says retail prices typically lag behind those of gasoline futures by a few weeks. About half of the change in futures gets passed through within a week, and the rest tends to show up over the next several weeks, according to Ms. Shore. who follows gasoline prices.
In addition to lower tension over Iran's disputed nuclear program, two major east-coast refineries that had been earmarked for closure now appear to be getting a new lease on life. The owners of the refineries, ConocoPhillips Co. and Sunoco Inc., are in talks to sell the facilities rather than close them.
Meanwhile, refineries in Europe and the U.S. that had shut down for maintenance are due to come back on line soon, increasing available supplies, Lawrence Eagles, an analyst at J.P. Morgan Chase, JPM said in a recent research note.
Figure 1 depicts the relationship between RBOB futures for the front month, and the price of gasoline (in logs) over the 2005M10-2012M04 period (that's the period I could get the futures data).
Figure 1: Log gasoline futures (end of month for front month contract, RBOB NYMEX) (blue, left axis) and log gasoline price per gallon (all, average of month) (red, right axis). Observation for April is for 4/16 (red square). NBER defined recession dates shaded gray. Source: ino.com, St. Louis Fed FRED, NBER, author's calculations.
The relationship appears to be pretty strong; a simple bivariate regression using the lagged futures price yields the following estimates:
(1) pgast = 0.514 + 0.719 × fgast-1 + ut
Adj-R2 = 0.97; SER = 0.034; DW = 1.90; smpl = 2005M11-2012M03; n = 77
Using this relationship, and the futures prices as of April 19, one can infer the path of future gasoline prices. I show the result in Figure 2:
Figure 2: Actual price of gasoline, all formulations, $/gallon (dark blue), and gasoline prices implied by futures as of 4/19 and equation (1). April observation is for 4/16 (dark blue square). NBER defined recession dates shaded gray. Source: ino.com, St. Louis Fed FRED, NBER, author's calculations (see text).
One issue is whether futures are an unbiased predictor (or even a particularly good predictor) of future commodity prices. In fact, this was the subject of some research conducted at the CEA back in 2001. The academic version of this memo, updated and expanded, was reported in Chinn and Coibion (Tables 1 and 2) [post; An energy-focused earlier version, Chinn, Coibion, Leblanc (2005); described in this post]. The energy excerpt from Table 1 is presented below.
Table 1 from Chinn and Coibion (2010). Note: The table presents estimated results by OLS of equation (2) in the text for different commodities and futures prices horizons. For gasoline, only the old version ("HU") of futures are used in the regressions. Statistical significance at the 10%, 5%, and 1% level are denoted by *, **, and *** respectively. For β, the null is that β=1. Newey-West HAC standard errors, using truncation equal to the futures horizon minus one.
We find that gas futures at the 3, 6 and 12 month horizon are essentially unbiased predictors of future spot prices (for the earlier series, NYMEX futures ticker "HU"). While the proportion of variation explained is not particularly high (17%), futures outperform a no-drift random walk (although not with statistical significance), along the RMSE and MAE dimensions. In contrast, an estimated (rolling) ARIMA(1,1,1) does worse than a no-drift random walk (and hence obviously, futures).
Hence, market expectations (as proxied by futures, which appear to be unbiased predictors for gasoline prices) predict a downward drift in gasoline prices, to about $3.50 by year's end.

New studies about coral reefs and climate change are constantly being published this summer so read on for the latest information.
A new study reveals that "deep cuts in carbon dioxide emissions are required" to keep coral reefs from disappearing.
By simulating various future scenarios, researchers from the Carnegie Institution for Science determined whether or not coral reefs could handle different ocean chemical conditions.
They found that if current emission rates continue, there will be no place left in the ocean with the same chemical composition as the water that supported coral reefs in the past. Unfortunately for coral reefs, the researchers say "it is a pretty good bet" that all shallow-water coral reefs will die. Watch the following video to learn more about their research.
Another new study sheds light on the relationship that corals have with bacteria.
By now, we know that reef-building corals don't survive on their own; they have formed a symbiotic relationship with single-celled algae. Recently, scientists have discovered that corals also interact with bacteria, fungi and even viruses.
Researchers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) recently discovered that a certain group of bacteria called Endozoicomonas — which has been associated with different coral species around the world — lives deep within the coral's tissues.
Although more research will be required to determine the exact purpose of the bacteria, the researchers suspect that it plays a role in keeping the coral healthy by helping to recycle nutrients and protecting it from disease.

Even the strongest students can be no match for the distractions of multitasking, according to new research from Michigan State University.
Researchers, funded by the National Science Foundation, took a look at the impact of fiddling with smartphones and laptops among 500 student during lectures and found that non-academic Internet use (responding to email, checking Facebook updates, etc.) hurts classroom content retention.
"Students of all intellectual abilities should be responsible for not letting themselves be distracted by use of the Internet," said Susan Ravizza, associate professor of psychology and lead investigator on the study, in a statement. The thesis that only those students with lower ACT scores would be distracted proved wrong, as all students's exam scores suffered when they allowed themselves to be distracted by the Internet during class.
+ Also on NetworkWorld:13 of today's coolest network and computing research projects+
Ravizza suggested that Internet use might be a different and more engaging flavor of multitasking than other activity juggling.
The big question of course is what to do about all this, since banning electronic devices from lecture halls is challenging, especially when the gadgets do serve the purpose of delivering emergency information.
What's more, Apple is actually improving the multitasking capabilities of its devices via the latest iOS update. Who would want that to go to waste?

Post 2017 PDAC discussion
The Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) is one of the premier international events for the mining industry. PDAC is held annually in Toronto in early March.
PDAC is the world's largest mining and exploration convention, with more than 24,000 attendees this year from across the globe. Participants from the Americas, Africa, Europe and elsewhere brave the inclement weather to travel to Toronto in March for deal making and to promote doing business in their respective countries. This year RCF had a 20-person strong contingent from our Denver, Toronto, and Santiago offices in attendance.
A happy coincidence is that our Toronto office is a mere five minute walk from the convention centre. This enables us to have companies come to our office, rather than scrambling to find a place to meet (which can be a challenge during the convention). We can efficiently meet with management teams, investment bankers and commodities consultants on our "home turf", increasing the number of people we can connect with over the course of the convention.
For the second straight year, RCF hosted a booth on the trade show floor, the only investment fund to do so. Tucked in between big and small mining companies alike, we were a magnet for companies that were in search of capital for advancing their projects. We also find the booth attracts numerous individuals who are curious about a career in private equity. We are more than happy to spend some time with them, as it is an ideal opportunity for recruiting and to highlight some of the university programs we support through scholarships and internships. We also held our seventh annual dinner in which 60 guests had an opportunity to catch up and discuss our sector. Given the dinner's informal setting and the close knit nature of the business, most invitees make time in their busy PDAC schedules to attend our event every year.
The mood at PDAC this year was the polar opposite of a year ago. Last year the sector was four years into a prolonged industry slump. The mood was subdued, with many smaller exploration companies scrambling to find "keep the lights on" funding. This year's sentiment was considerably more buoyant, with many companies focused on renewed exploration spending and a desire to replace and grow their resource bases. Some capital is slowly becoming available to the sector after a long hiatus and a new sense of optimism for the future is palpable.
Private equity will continue to invest in the mining industry
RCF has been investing in mining for nearly 20 years, through good times and through tough times. This is what we do. We are a group of mining professionals who are in this for the long run. The opportunity set is broad and deep and there are always great projects to invest in, regardless of where we are in the investment cycle.
We have found that the private equity style of investment is well suited to investing in the mining space. We are a source of patient capital and are comfortable operating in this cyclical industry.
RCF is very active in Canada
RCF has carried out a tremendous amount of investment activity in Canada both in the past and more recently. Several of our larger deals in RCF VI, the current fund, are in Canada — TMAC Resources and Riversdale Resources.
RCF recognizes Toronto as a global financial hub for the mining industry and understands the importance of having a physical presence here, especially given the number of mining companies in Toronto. RCF is here for the long haul, and we will keep working with companies that have great assets and strong management teams to maximise the value of those assets for all stakeholders.
