Weekly Market Commentary
October 7, 2013
The Markets
For Sturm und Drang enthusiasts, the third quarter of 2013 held plenty of mayhem and emotion. It began with an overthrow of Egypt's democratically-elected government and ended with the United States government at risk of defaulting on Treasury and government obligations. In between:
Fed officials had a lot to say. Like background music that manipulates your emotions, the U.S. Federal Reserve's ongoing commentary about potential changes to U.S. monetary policy affected global stock and bond markets throughout much of the year, and third quarter was no exception. When the Fed didn't adjust quantitative easing in September, markets celebrated. Apparently, they'd lost sight of the fact that the Fed could decide to taper at its next meeting in October. When reminded of that fact, markets retreated a bit.
Emerging market currencies bounced. Changing expectations for U.S. monetary policy had a profound effect on emerging markets. Many saw their currencies lose value relative to the U.S. dollar early in the quarter; some regained it as the quarter progressed. The most spectacular performance may have been delivered by the Indian rupee which went from being Asia's worst performing currency to one of the world's best in just five days.
Shibor Shock startled investors. During the second quarter, China's GDP grew at the slowest pace in more than two decades. As curtains opened on the third quarter, the world saw Chinese banks staggering as the Shanghai Interbank Offered Rate (Shibor), China's benchmark interest rate for an overnight bank lending, exceeded 25 percent. Shibor was about 2.5 percent early in 2013. The ensuing cash crunch created concern China's economy might be in trouble. Apprehension increased when the country's finance minister, Lou Jiwei, confounded analysts and investors by suggesting China's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate for 2013 might be 6.5 or 7 percent rather than the official target of 7.5 percent.
Europe may have turned the corner. In mid-August, the Eurozone's GDP grew by 1.1 percent annualized. Markets breathed a sigh of relief on the tentative hope positive growth signaled a turning point for the region's lagging economy which had been in recession for 18-months up to that point.
As the quarter ended, the world's attention turned to U.S. fiscal policy as Congress battled over budgets and debt ceilings. Last week, Congress reached an impasse and the government shutdown partially. If they are unable to resolve differences, the U.S. government is at risk of defaulting on its debt; an occurrence experts say could send shockwaves through the global economy. Needless to say, the new quarter holds endless potential for storm and stress.
IF YOU'VE BEEN LAMENTING THE STATE OF AMERICA, TAKE HEART... We're still really good at some things. For example, we have more entrepreneurs – people who organize and operate businesses – than any other country in the world. About one of every 13 Americans is an entrepreneur, according to The Economist. That's almost 7.5 percent of our population! The Netherlands isn't too far behind us in the ratio of entrepreneurs to population at large (about 6.5 percent). However, less than 4 percent of Brits are entrepreneurs and less than 3 percent of the citizens of France, Sweden, and Germany are so inclined.
Forbes.com postulates entrepreneurship in America can be attributed, in part, to the fact that our country is a magnet for venture capital. During 2012, the U.S. ranked second overall – ahead of Sweden and behind Israel – in venture-backed capital as a percentage of GDP, according to The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Also, we value the entrepreneurial spirit. Let's face it, Americans love the underdog. We don't see failure as failure when risk-taking is involved. We see it more as daring. As Teddy Roosevelt once said:
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
The Forbes article also pointed to the influence younger generations, specifically Millennials, are having on our economy. According to CMO.com, Millennials buy fewer cars, prefer renting to owning, and eat less fast food. They want transparent workplaces and collaborative work environments. In response to their preferences, car sharing, media sharing, home and vacation sharing, and other types of collaborative businesses have been born. Millennials are creating opportunities for entrepreneurs everywhere!

By Emma Ujah, Abuja Bureau Chief
THE Investments and Securities Tribunal (IST) sitting in Abuja has resolved a decade-long dispute between a stock broking firm, Valueline Securities and Investments Ltd and First City Monument Bank Plc (FCMB) over repayment of N2.5 billion shares purchase fund misappropriated in 2008 by the defunct FinBank Plc with which FCMB consummated a merger.
The matter had been handled by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Central bank of Nigeria (CBN), Assets Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) and the Federal High Courts over the decade.
Giving judgment in the case filed by Valueline Securities and Investments Ltd as Claimant against Securities and Exchange Commission [SEC], Central Bank of Nigeria [CBN] and First City Monument Bank Plc as 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Defendants, the Tribunal found FCMB liable to pay the Claimant an outstanding debt of N988,533,205.86 plus further accrued interest calculated at 18% in the manner earlier directed by SEC.
The FCMB Plc is also to pay a penalty of N500, 000.00 to the Claimant as cost of the legal action and a further 10% interest on the judgment debt from the date of the judgment until final defrayment.
The Chairman of the Tribunal, Hon. Siaka Isaiah Idoko-Akoh, who delivered the judgment explained that the Claimant's case was that in 2008, it applied for and deposited N2.5 Billion to buy shares in the FINBANK Public Offer but at the end was neither allotted the shares nor was his money returned to him as required by capital market regulations. The Claimant petitioned the SEC after failing to get its refund. The SEC in line with its regulatory functions investigated the complaint, found FINBANK culpable and ordered it to pay back the N2.5 Billion with 18% interest per annum from September 23, 2008 until full liquidation.
However, when the Bank failed to pay, the SEC sought the intervention of the CBN; coincidentally, at the time when the FCMB and FINBANK were planning a merger. An All Parties Meeting [APM] was convened where the FCMB undertook to repay the indebtedness of FINBank and for its account with the CBN to be debited at source by CBN provided the merger of the two banks was approved by SEC to succeed.
FCMB Plc in its defence said it paid back the sum of N4.6 Billion made up of the principal N2.5Billion and N2.1Billion accrued interest and believed it had liquidated the debt.
The Claimant however disputed the claim that FCMB fully repaid the debt especially as, according to its pleadings, the CBN and SEC had set up another joint investigative team that met and changed the original SEC computation formula for the repayment following a petition by FCMB Plc and without informing or involving the Claimant.

Mummy and Daddy are in Belgium today because of the First World War. My stylist dressed me in the traditional belgian costume of a beret and smock for my Skype call with them before supper. I like to show an interest in their trips, even when my schedule doesn't allow me to join them, because it's important to be supportive. Not my favourite costume, but my stylist said it was either that or they'd have to dress me as a waffle.

Who is Father Christmas by the way, and how does he know all this stuff about me? When I refused to eat the stupid kale and threw it on the floor, Maria Teresa said Father Christmas would know and I might go on the Naughty List. Well, hear this, Father Christmas - I too have a list of my own. It's called "People Who Will Never Get Knighthoods". You've been warned.

Mummy went to the set of Downton Abbey today. Everyone was SO jealous. She came back with a wooden train for me from the George character in the story. She says he is the one who is only going to inherit an Earldom, poor thing.
- Did they tell you anything? Daddy asked desperately when she got home.
- I watched some of the filming, yes, Mummy said.
- Tell me Isis is actually OK and it was all just a dream? Daddy said.
- You don't have the clearance, I'm afraid, Mummy said.
20th March 2015
Mummy started Googling baby names on her iPhone.
- What about something from Game of Thrones? They're very popular at the moment. Daenerys or Tyrion or Jon Snow? she said. Then HBO might let us in on future plot lines.
- Dracarys after one of Khaleesi's dragons? Uncle Harry said.
- There are dragons in Game of Thrones? Daddy asked, sounding surprised.
- You know nothing, Prince William, Mummy said in a wistful voice.
- If you didn't spend every episode with your back turned and a cushion over your face shouting, "What's happening? What's happening?", you'd know that, Uncle Harry said.
- But it's so brutal, Daddy said.
- Brutal and BRILLIANT, Uncle Harry said. I still miss Sean Bean, though.
- Why? What happened to him? Daddy asked.

Garnet is believed to have gotten its name from the French word "grenat" which means "red like a pomegranate". However, garnet comes in a much wider variety of colors. In fact, it can be found in every color except blue.
The most common color of garnet is a deep glowing cinnamon red, with hints of orange and brown. These rich hues enhance designs that blend with the exotic flavors of India, Africa and the Orient, reflecting today's culturally diverse society. Garnet has a special appeal for those seeking a sophisticated, urban look. Tsavorite, a light to dark green variety, commands the highest prices of all garnets because of its rich color and demand. Other varieties common to jewelry are spessartite, a light to dark orange garnet, and rhodalite, a light pink, to dark purple-red often called raspberry.
Garnet traditionally symbolizes faith, truth, friendship, and loyalty. It was believed to dispel fear, protect travelers, inspire deep affection and was also thought to have healing properties, particularly diseases related to the blood.

Harry Mount, whose op-ed on learning Latin was featured in the New York Times here and was itself translated into Latin here, returns to virtual pages of the news.
From Slate:
Last year, a surprise best seller hit the British book market: a romp through Latin grammar, by a London journalist called Harry Mount. In Britain, the book was called Amo, Amas, Amat … and All That, after the first verb (to love) encountered in elementary Latin class. But in the American edition, the title has become Carpe Diem. The phrase was coined by Horace in Odes 1. 11, a poem that recommends instant kicks (bad strained wine, quickie sex), since time is fleeting and the future unknowable. In American culture, however, the phrase has taken on a life of its own; in Robin Williams' famous speech from Dead Poets Society, seizing the day has something to do with self-fulfilment and the realization of the American dream.
The change of title tells us a lot about the different cultural positions of Latin in British and American society. Most educated British people can, it seems, be expected to know a smattering of "school-boy" Latin. The term is revealing, since under the British educational system, those who know Latin usually learned the language at an expensive school (often all-male). State schools in Britain rarely offer Latin. Unsurprisingly, then, knowing Latin in Britain is closely associated with being posh—a situation Mount's book sets out to remedy, or at least modify. The time has come, it seems, to liberate the study of Latin from issues of social class.
In America, the cultural place of Latin is very different. It's true that in the United States, as in Britain, some expensive high schools teach Latin. But so do Catholic high schools, which may be inexpensive or free. Moreover, a surprising number of American undergraduates begin the language from scratch in college, of their own free will. In this context, knowing Latin is not a marker of membership in a cultural elite, or no more so than any kind of college education. Some of those who voluntarily struggle through the conjugations and declensions of a long-dead language may be hoping for an easy way to fulfill a language requirement; after all, in Latin class, you generally don't have to worry about perfecting your accent, and you don't have to put in time at the language lab. But many choose to learn Latin because they are genuinely interested in learning how the Romans imagined the world. To describe American Latin students, we need to substitute the much more attractive category of "geeks" for Amis' "wankers."
There are good reasons for Americans to be interested in the ancient world. Over the last few years, there has been a deluge of American movies, television series, and novels based on antiquity: 300, Alexander, Troy, and Rome on HBO. It's easy to see why these simplified versions of ancient history and classical mythology strike a chord in contemporary America. For obvious reasons, we are interested in stories about the growth and collapse of a great and greedy empire, or about a clash between Western and Eastern civilizations. We are fascinated by tales of war, especially those that present it as glorious, tragic, and a long time ago. Ancient history is always popular when people feel close to an apocalypse: It allows us to face, obliquely, the knowledge that our own culture too will end.
But culture is never independent of language. If you want to understand ancient Greece and Rome in more depth than you can get from 300, you need, ideally, to learn Latin and Greek. Although these languages are hard to learn well, it's fairly easy to get a smattering of Latin, especially if you already know Spanish or Italian. And to know even a little bit of Latin helps you understand how European vernacular languages emerged from the language of the Romans—and hence, how the societies of modern Europe and America emerged from antiquity.

Canadian rockers Death from Above 1979 deliver a compelling, energetic third studio album with 'Outrage! Is Now.'
Canadian punk-rock duo Death from Above 1979 – Jesse F. Keeler and Sebastien Grainger – returns with its latest studio album, Outrage! Is Now. Interestingly, Outrage! Is Now serves as only the third studio album by the duo, which has been in existence since the early 00s. Though not prolific, Death from Above 1979 proves quality trumps quantity any day throughout the course of Outrage! Is Now. Comprised of 10 tracks and running just 36 minutes, it's a tight, enjoyable affair. Here are the top-five songs from Outrage! Is Now.
No. 1: "Never Swim Alone"
Death from Above 1979 keeps things short and sweet on "Never Swim Alone." Once again, chocked full of energy, there are gritty, distorted, whiny vocals, a characteristic f-bomb, and sick guitar work. Ultimately, it's simply delicious, especially the catchy chorus that tell us to, "NEVER. SWIM. ALONE!"
No. 2: "Freeze Me"
Throughout "Freeze Me," Death from Above 1979 keeps things energetic. The first sign it has hit-potential is the groovy, opening piano. This recurs during the verses, creating a danceable vibe. Soon enough, drums and guitar join the mix, adding grit. Despite the additional instrumentation, Grainger has no trouble rising above the production with his commanding, expressive pipes. Ultimately, soundness is the name of the game. The production work is superb, while the music is dynamic and biting.
No. 3: "Holy Books"
"Holy Books" concludes the album superbly. Souped-up from the jump, the guitars sound menacing, rather hellish. Grainger delivers aggressive and passionate vocals. Lyrically, it's clear that he's not onboard with the whole God-fearing, Christian thing, with the chorus summarizes his sentiments effectively. A change of pace arrives shy of the two-minute mark. The change of tone and tempo are unexpected, but welcome. The original scheme returns right before the three-minute mark, reviving a sense of familiarity, including the infectious, atheistic chorus.
No. 4: "Nomad"
"Nomad" kicks off Outrage! Is Now in spirited fashion. The guitars and bass are jagged, chocked full of grit, while the drums are pummeling. From the jump, "Nomad" is hard-hitting, further accentuated by the whiny, biting vocals of Sebastien Grainger.
No. 5: "All I C is U & Me"
"All I C is U & Me" is up-tempo, embodying the punk-revivalist spirit. It's not nearly left-field as the majority of songs from Outrage. Normally, that might be a rub, but it's a nice change of pace as nothing else sounds like it. Is it the crème de la crème? No, but it's enjoyable and energetic.
Final Thoughts
All in all, great music, rousing vocals, and incredible creativity makes Outrage! Is Now an intriguing effort. Death from Above 1979 make an excellent return after a three-year hiatus. There are no outright misses to be found. This is a worthwhile listen from start to finish.
Gems: "Nomad," "Freeze Me," "Never Sleep Alone," "All I C is U & Me" & "Holy Books"

Ryeland Leigh) and a servant (Elizabeth Smith) at 39 Melbourne Street. By this date he was a warehouse clerk, and he worked for 14 years for Meynell and Sons, Montrose Street. He married Lily Ann Fowler in 1910, and they went on to have a daughter, Marjorie, in 1911.
David served as a Company Quartermaster-Sergeant with the South Staffordshire Regiment. He served in Ireland and was killed in Dublin during the Irish Rebellion on 29 April 1916. An article on him appeared in the Midland Counties Express on 6 January 1917, and he was mentioned in the Express & Star on 12 May 1916 as one of "Nine Black Country Men Killed". He is buried at the Grangegorman Military Cemetery in Ireland, and commemorated on the Higher Grade School Roll of Honour.

ADASS welcomes new money to help people stay independent
ADASS welcomes new money to help people stay independent
Association of Directors of Adult Social Services
Date: 4th October 2010
Embargo: 00:01, Tuesday 5th October 2010
Directors of Adult Social Services in England have welcomed the Governments decision to make extra finances available for `reablement services those designed to ensure elderly people leaving hospital are provided with care in the first all-important weeks following their discharge.
ADASS President Richard Jones said this is an encouraging first step towards ensuring that sensible, effective preventative services can be put in place quickly and carefully so that the NHS can be spared the expense of unnecessary and disruptive readmissions.
It is good news, and we see it as confirming our view that only by tighter integration of health and social care services in the community will real savings, and real improvements in services, be made.
He went on to stress that councils already make a significant investment into reablement services and that the new money needs to be used to build on existing services that both support people to get back home and prevent the need for readmission into hospital or residential and nursing care. The resource, and the requirement to agree joint plans for its use, signal an important step on the necessary journey to further integration, he said.

Richard Jones, ADASS President, 0177 253 4390
Drew Clode, ADASS Policy Press Adviser, 020 8348 5023/07976 837755
The Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) represents directors of adult social services in local authorities in England. DASSs have statutory responsibilities for the social care of older people and adults with disabilities, while over 50 per cent also run social housing departments. ADASS members might also share a number of responsibilities for the provision and/or commissioning of housing, leisure, library, culture and arts services within their councils.
`Personalisation' is a term used to describe a number of ways in which vulnerable adults and their carers can receive a mixture of local authority and government money in order to pay directly for the care services they need without direct social services involvement.
They will be helped in making an assessment of their needs and finances by social workers who will also involve and consider the needs and availability of carers. Any contractual agreement is therefore between the individual and the care worker or operator.

SO this is all I can remember about meeting the Beatles.
A Miami chauffeur asks, "Are you here for the Beatles?" I think he's talking about a flea circus. My grandfather Ed Sullivan is known for introducing animal acts.
My brother and I are following my father down a corridor at the Deauville Beach Resort. There are porthole windows overlooking the street below.
I know now that the Beatles aren't a flea circus. I know they're important (my father has informed me) and I'm a little nervous about meeting them. I'm only 6, after all. I think we're heading into a dressing room when my father opens a door.
It opens to a huge ballroom. Technicians are getting ready for the show my father, Robert Precht, is about to produce. It is a week after the Beatles made their debut on my grandfather's show. This performance, set for Feb. 16, 1964, is their second appearance. Only Paul is wearing a blazer. The others are wearing white terry cloth shirts.
I take note: I am wearing lace-up Keds. They are wearing sneakers without laces.
I have short hair. Theirs is long, long, long — practically covering their ears!
It's sound check time. My father seats my brother and me in the audience a few rows back.
The Beatles start playing "I Want to Hold Your Hand."
It's the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.
There are other things I can mention:
Seeing them again at Shea Stadium the next year. "The screaming was so loud," I'd tell my friends between playing "Man From U.N.C.L.E.," "you couldn't hear a thing."
Making out, a few years later, with girls who would emerge breathlessly to ask, "Did you really meet the Beatles?" Making my answer short and sweet.
The biggest moment of my life came 40 years after that momentous occasion: having a son, whom we named after my grandfather.
He knows about the Beatles because I drill it into him. Otherwise, he couldn't care less.
I am a public-school teacher who, in my own loopy way, is carrying on the legacy of live television that my father and grandfather helped pioneer. Recording myself getting "kettled" by riot police officers at Occupy L.A. Live-streaming protests — Diane Ravitch addressing teachers about threats to public education, a student mike-checking the school reformer Michelle Rhee — because the country seems to have lost its way and filming people protesting seems like the only thing to do.
Maybe having the Beatles on his show seemed like the only thing to do, to my grandfather. The country was reeling after Oswald shot Kennedy. It needed something to sing about. It needed hope.
But white-knuckling my seat at the Deauville hotel — that's what I remember best.

Kevin Michael Godley (born 7 October 1945) is an English singer, songwriter, musician and music video director. He is known as the drummer of the art rock band 10cc and for his collaboration outside the band with Lol Creme called Godley & Creme.
This section needs additional citations for verification. (October 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Kevin Michael Godley was born on 7 October 1945 in Prestwich, Lancashire, England, to a Jewish family, and went to North Cestrian Grammar School in Altrincham.[3] The first band he was part of was Group 17 which had its origins in the Jewish Lads Brigade (JLB). The members were Henri Shalam, Bernard Sufrin, Sydney Kaye and Jeffrey Baker.[citation needed]
While attending art college in Manchester Godley met Lol Creme. They became part of several bands, most notably Hotlegs and 10cc. He and Creme left 10cc in 1977, early into the recording of the album Deceptive Bends, unimpressed with the songs by bandmates Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman and eager to work on other projects outside of the band.[4]
After leaving 10cc the two became known as Godley & Creme, both as musicians and film directors. They were jointly nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Music Video, Long Form for: The Police: Synchronicity Concert in 1986.[5]
Godley writes and sings, and he plays drums, percussion and keyboards. In 1990, his charity production One World One Voice was released on CD in the UK. It was a CD that focused on environmental and ecological crises.
Both Godley and Lol Creme briefly "reunited" with their former 10cc bandmates Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman on the 1992 album, ...Meanwhile. However, Godley claims that their involvement with the project was very limited, as the album was dominated by studio musicians. He performed the lead vocal on "The Stars Didn't Show," the band's tribute to the late Roy Orbison. It was the only song on the album not sung by Stewart. Following ...Meanwhile, Godley and Creme went their separate ways, having experienced difficulties together as early as 1988.[6] He reunited with another former 10cc member, Graham Gouldman, to form the band GG/06. Together they have recorded a number of new songs which are available via their website.[7] He joined Gouldman to celebrate 10cc's fortieth anniversary concert in 2012. [8]
Recently, Godley has moved into developing a music platform for the iPad, that combines audio and video to create a global recording studio in the cloud called "WholeWorldBand".[9] The company was nominated for the "SXSW Music Accelerator Award" in 2013 and was one of eight finalists selected from a pool of over 500.[10] In 2017, Godley publicly invited musicians to send him music to work on a solo album.[11]
Godley was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Arts by Staffordshire University in 2018.[12] Godley currently lives in Dublin, Ireland.[13]

I am not the only one who cooks in our family. My beautiful wife, Clare, is also a great cook and a great baker. Every once in a while, I ask my Angel to provide a guest blog post so that I can share some of the amazing and delicious things that she makes for family, friends and, of course, me. She has already provided guest blog posts about Tuscan Vegetable Soup and Cuban Bread. So, without further ado,
A Guest Blog Post by Clare ...
For years, my mom has baked a blueberry bread called Loyalist Bread. She usually made this bread for special occasions, like breakfast for guests during the Thanksgiving holiday or for Keith and myself when we visit. And, whenever my mom makes this bread, it tends to be eaten very quickly, because it is delicious. The recipe for making this bread is very fun and easy. Recently, I made Loyalist bread with my godson, J.T., his sister, Ella, and one of my best friends, Michele. This time, the special occasion was my birthday.
According to Bernard Clayton's New Complete Book of Breads, the recipe for Loyalist Bread dates back to the American Revolution. During that time, the recipe for Loyalist Bread was commonly made by families who were loyal to King George III. As the Revolutionary War progressed, these families fled the colonies to various parts of Canada, like Nova Scotia. These families took their recipes with them. When they arrived at their new homes, these families continued to use those recipes, like the Loyalist Bread recipe, using local ingredients. This recipe and others were collected in a book called The Blueberry Connection, written by Beatrice Ross Buzek from Nova Scotia, where the provincial berry happens to be the wild blueberry..
All you need to make Loyalist Bread are two medium (8 inch by 4 inch) loan pans, greased or Teflon, lined with buttered wax paper. It is best to use fresh blueberries for this bread and you need to use some care to ensure the blueberries are not broken up or smashed. You will be rewarded in the end because, beneath the great crust of this bread, there will be little blueberry pockets that are perhaps the key to what makes this bread so delicious to eat.

Makes 2 loaves
2 tablespoons of shortening, melted
2 cups of sugar
2 cups of buttermilk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
4 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups of cleaned blueberries
1 cup chopped walnuts
1. Mix the melted shortening together with the sugar, buttermilk and beaten eggs in a bowl.
2. In a larger bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Form a well at the bottom and pour in the buttermilk mixture. Stir together with 15 to 20 strokes. Drop in the blueberries and walnuts and push into the corners.
3. Pour or spoon the batter into the prepared pans (see discussion above) while preheating the oven to 350 degrees Farenheit. Allow the pans to stand for 20 minutes.
4. Place in the oven and bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. The crust will become light brown. Test with a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean and dry, then the bread is done.
5. Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes before turning the pans on their side. Tug the bread loose with the ends of the wax pepper. Allow to cool further on a wire rack.
And, as Keith always says,

The only place where considerable criticism can be found is the polemic com mentary by Whiteside and Wixon at the end of the book. They evaluate the benefits of the book from the viewpoint of practical design. Their view is much less optimistic than elsewhere in book, and they are some what disappointed with how little help research is giving to practice: 20 Kari Kuutti "What systems have already been affected by the work described here and similar work that led up to it? " (Whiteside and Wixon 1987, 355).
Information technology can also help in actions that are directed to ward sense making.

In a sense, managers have been " informated" from the first report ever produced by a system, but an enormous variety of other activities could be supported in this way as well.

A person's internal activity assimilates the experience of humanity in the form in which it manifests itself in the corresponding external activity. " Cognitive processes," says A. R. Luria, " are not in dependent and unchanging 'abilities' or 'functions of human conscious ness;' they are processes occurring in concrete, practical activity and are formed within the limits of this activity" (cited by Stetsenko 1993, 43).
