Crews in Italy are busy right now trying to flip the shipwrecked Costa Concordia upright, a year and a half after it ran aground and capsized, ending up perched on two underwater mountain peaks.
The salvage process is incredibly expensive and complex, and if it goes awry, there's no good backup plan.
Why so difficult?
The Costa Concordia is simply enormous. It's bigger than the Titanic.
To compare the two ill-fated ships, we pulled together stats from old press releases from Fincantierei, which built the cruise liner, as well as sites dedicated to the histories of the famed SS United States and Queen Mary, also worthy of Titanic comparisons.
Here's how they measure up:
Costa Concordia: 951.4 feet
Titanic: 882.9 feet
Passenger Capacity
Costa Concordia: 3,780
Titanic: 2,440
Number Of Crew Members
Costa Concordia: 1,068
Titanic: 860
Number Of Decks
Costa Concordia: 13
Titanic: 9
Gross Tonnage
Costa Concordia: 112,000 gross tons
Titanic: 46,329 gross tons
The Costa Concordia is bigger than the Titanic in every respect, except in lives lost. 32 people died after the Costa Concordia crashed, while more than 1,500 were killed in the sinking of the Titanic in 1912.

The summery flavor of fresh cherries is transformed into a delightfully intoxicating beverage in this simple recipe for cherry-infused vodka.
This intensely flavorful infusion is superb, whether you sip it straight, mix it into a cocktail or lighten it with a splash of sparkling water. You'll find many recipes for cherry infused spirits that are additionally flavored with spices or citrus, but we opted for a simpler, straightforward preparation that yields an exceptionally clean, bright cherry flavor and brilliant, ruby-red color.
This recipe uses sweet cherries and vodka; nothing else. You could use tart cherries for a tangier flavor (additional sugar optional), or brandy instead of vodka, but you'll enjoy the results with any of these variations.
Here's an important tip: Use whole, unpitted cherries if possible. The pits will add a faint, but appealing hint of bitterness and a delicate almond flavor. Of course, if you prefer, you can remove the pits from some or all of the cherries.
We like to serve cherry-infused vodka straight up in a small cordial glass, with one of the whole infused cherries. Sip it gradually, savoring each drop, then eat the potent vodka-soaked cherry last of all.
Fresh Cherry-Infused Vodka
- 1 lb fresh unpitted sweet cherries (tart cherries will work too)
- 1 750 ml bottle vodka or brandy
Rinse the cherries well and remove the stems. Place them into a large glass jar or non-reactive container (approximately 1/2 gallon).
Pour in the the vodka or brandy, making sure all of the cherries are completely covered by the liquid. Seal the container tightly and place in a cool, dark place for at least 1 month.
When it's ready to drink, pour off the bright red, cherry-infused spirits into a clean bottle, but be sure to reserve the vodka-soaked cherries for cooking or eating later (you'll find that they're amazingly firm, with a decidedly boozey kick).
If you're able, make enough to put some aside to enjoy later. In a few months, when winter has come and it's cold and dreary outside, dust off the bottle and treat yourself to a drop or two of pure, liquid summer.

Hollywood costumes exhibition opens at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London
A costume worn by US actor Tobey Maguire in the 2002 movie 'Spider-Man' is displayed at the Hollywood Costume exhibition at the Victoria and Albert museum in London. Hollywood Costume, the V&A's major autumn exhibition, is gathering gather together over one hundred of the most iconic costumes designed for cinema characters over a century of film-making. AFP PHOTO / BEN STANSALL.
Not the actual characters, of course, but the outfits they made famous in some of Hollywood's most beloved films. A new London exhibition has brought together more than 100 iconic costumes, from Chaplin's tramp outfit to the world's most famous ruby slippers.
The show, at the Victoria and Albert Museum, aims to tell the story of costume design and how it helps create believable characters.
"It's not really about the clothes — it's really about creating an authentic individual, every time," said guest curator Deborah Landis Wednesday. She has designed costumes for hit movies including "The Blues Brothers."
Many of cinema's most legendary outfits are here: Scarlett O'Hara's green velvet dress from "Gone with the Wind," Indiana Jones' leather jacket, fedora and bullwhip from "Raiders of the Lost Ark," and John Travolta's unforgettable white suit from "Saturday Night Fever."
Among the show's highlights are the slippers and blue and white gingham pinafore worn by Judy Garland in "The Wizard of Oz," which were united for the first time since the 1939 movie was filmed. The shiny red shoes were in fact silver in the book by Frank L. Baum, but the filmmakers changed their color to make a bigger impact on the Technicolor screen.
Together the costumes span a century of film-making, and they reflect the changing times. Necklines went lower and lower with the relaxation of censorship rules, and recent costumes had to be designed with animation and digital technology in mind. The exhibition brings things right up to date with costumes from computer-generated films like "Avatar," which had to be handmade before a digital version could be assembled.
The museum's assistant curator, Keith Lodwick, said his team spent five years on a worldwide treasure hunt, borrowing the costumes from museums, collectors and film studios.
There were plenty of glamorous gowns from Hollywood's best-known screen sirens: Marilyn Monroe's white halter-neck dress from "The Seven Year Itch"; Elizabeth Taylor's cream and black gown in "Cleopatra"; and Audrey Hepburn's sleeveless Givenchy gown in "Breakfast at Tiffany's," the little black dress that secured her status as a timeless fashion icon.
But Lodwick said the exhibition also included some unusual choices to surprise viewers expecting just outlandish sci-fi outfits and elaborate period costumes.
"All movie costumes, no matter the genre, are always meticulously researched," Lodwick said.
Matt Damon's casual outfit in the "Bourne Identity" action movies, for example, may "look just like a jacket and shirt, but it was meant to make him disappear into a crowd," he said.
The show revealed other lesser-known stories behind costume making. Indiana Jones' jacket was designed with an "action pleat" to make it easier for Harrison Ford to use his bullwhip, while designers for the cowboy romance "Brokeback Mountain" had to painstakingly select the right brand of jeans for each character to maintain authenticity — ranch hands only wore Levi's, and rodeo riders wore Wranglers.
To coincide with the exhibition, the British Film Institute said Tuesday it was giving 500 costumes to the V&A Museum, including the Superman outfit worn by Christopher Reeve in "Superman IV."
The exhibition opens Saturday and runs until Jan. 27.

If you want to camp inside Yosemite National Park, you must reserve a spot at one of the campgrounds beforehand*. You can reserve up to 5 months before your stay. For example, on the 15th of January, the permits for the reserve-only campsites during May 15-June 15 went live; nearly all sites filled up within minutes. May 18th was the weekend Brett and I wanted to camp in Yosemite. Unfortunately, up until 6 days ago, I had no concept of reserving plots of land to pitch a tent. Though I knew Yosemite is Yosemite, I didn't quite understand the demand for staying overnight in the Park. On the ground. But it's insane. Needless to say, 5 days before our trip we couldn't reserve a spot in Yosemite.
*That left 3 options.
- Stay at a first-come, first-served campsite in Yosemite. Yosemite has 7 first-come, first served campgrounds, but they are open depending on the time in the season and the trail conditions. Mid-May, only one rush site is open: Camp 4. You have to be there in person at 8:30 a.m. to register to pitch your tent at Camp 4. According to the Yosemite website, a line is usually formed way before then. This is clearly not a viable option for someone going after work on Friday. Camp 4 is also the site of rock-climbers in Yosemite. As I figure, if you were too oblivious to make your reservation 5 months ago, chances are the rock-climbers will be more hard-core about camping at Camp 4 than you.
- Obtain a wilderness permit and stay in the wilderness. For people going on multi-day hikes, you can get a permit to sleep in the park overnight. It really depends what time in the season you go, but you can potentially stay where ever you hike to in the wilderness. There are some permits you can get ahead of time, and others that are first-come, first-served.
- Camp outside of Yosemite and drive in for day hikes. There are multiple campgrounds outside of Yosemite in neighboring towns like Groveland on the west border and Lee Vining on the east. They each have varying levels of amenities.
Which option did we choose? Ding ding ding! #3. Though Camp 4 would be an experience, neither of us wanted to risk being turned away. And as thrilled as I was at the thought of an overnight backpacking trip, I had never slept in a tent–ever. The decision was easy. We camped outside of Yosemite in neighboring Inyo State Forest. Though it was like staying in New Jersey when you're on vacation to see New York City, Inyo State Forest was gorgeous by its own right and deserves a trip beyond "Cause we couldn't get space in Yosemite."
In Inyo State Forest, there are also campgrounds available for reservation. Others are first-come, first-served. I made a list of roughly 9 campgrounds with pros and cons and Brett chose one I labeled "Cushy. Running Water, Flush Toilet, Swimming Beach, Bear Locker." So, we reserved at Oh Ridge, a campground on June Lake outside of the town Lee Vining. Reserving felt good because we wanted to ensure having a spot to collapse after a long day's trek. The area is speckled in deep blue lakes and dense forest. I was particularly impressed by Mono Lake, a large lake that's gone down with time revealing two crater-like islands in the middle. The sight looks extraterrestrial and sent shivers down my back. I wish I could have captured it better on camera to share with you.
After Yosemite kicked our butts the first day, we arrived at Oh Ridge with enough time to pitch the tent and grill some sandwiches for dinner.
If you're like me and don't own any camping equipment, you can rent some decent stuff from REI. If you live in the Bay Area, there's also Sport Basement. We rented a tent and stove from Sports Basement and got sleeping bags from REI. I can't remember the brands, but the tent was easy enough to construct, the stove worked with propane and the bags were soft and everything I'd want after a long day's hike. The whole camping thing was so simple I couldn't believe it! However, we did have Brett's car nearby to house extra items and did not have to make big decisions concerning weight.
I saw a bear locker for the first time in my life. You have to put all your food and anything with a scent inside the locker whenever you are not actively using it. Fruit? Toothpaste? Chapstick? Our bear prevention literature instructed us to stow it all.
I woke up to the birds chirping and sun roasting us like pigs in our tent. I couldn't believe that we were both alive and didn't get attacked by bears in our sleep. Relishing my second chance at life, I jumped out the tent to check out the bear locker, get a start on breakfast and sort things out for the day.
We sipped hot tea and gazed at mirror still June Lake– nearly our own private view for the morning. Brett and I compared our bruises and pains. It turned out Brett's legs hadn't fared well from the 12 miler yesterday. He wasn't able to sleep on his side due to the pain in his legs and he had to waddle instead of walk his normal gait. Those trekking poles I used had spared me from the worst of a grueling hike. True be told, I felt great!
First camping trip = Success!
As dazzling as our campsite was, we left Oh Ridge around 9 a.m. to get back to Yosemite and take on the big sights in the Valley. More about day 2 in an upcoming post. Have you camped in Yosemite? Or stayed in a neighboring town? Or took your chances at a first-come, first-served campground? Let me know! I'm especially interested to learn more about hikers who have used the wilderness permit in the park.

This is a recipe I've been using for awhile now. We love it. It's not 100% whole wheat like I wish, but we just are not up for that (yet). This, I think, is still a lot better then the 100% whole wheats out on the market that have 10 preservatives and additives in them.
You will need:
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbls butter
1 1/4 cup hot water (I mic it for 50 seconds)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup ground flax seed
2 cups wheat flour
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/8 cup warm water
1 packet active dry yeast
I use my bread machine at first and then transfer it over and it's the perfect combination of convenience and yumminess.
I combine the first 4 ingredients in my bread machine and turn it on.
I combine the last two in a seperate bowl and let them sit for at least 5 minutes.
After the 'wet' ingredients are combined (as soon as the butter is melted), I add the wheat germ, flax seed and wheat flour and let it mix for about 5 minutes.
Then I add the yeast/water mixture and let it mix another 10 minutes or so.
Then I turn off the machine, add the all purpose flour and turn it to 'dough' setting and leave it alone until it beeps. Mine takes an hour and a half.
When it's done, I punch it down, spray a loaf pan, put it in there and shape it and spray the top with Pam, and let it rise another hour on the stove (until it doubles, sometimes more or less time).
I preheat the oven to 350 and bake it for 30-35 minutes. Let it cool for about 5 minutes in the pan and then take it out and let it finish cooling on a rack, so the crust does not get soggy.
Yummy....I just took one out of the oven, and it's half gone already! :)
p.s. don't throw uneaten end pieces or not so perfect breads away. I put them all in a baggie in the refrigerator, and when it's full, I cube them and bake them at 200 degrees for a couple of hours until they're dry (I cubed them and dried them for a few hours in my dehydrator and they turned out perfectly-I will do that from now on). Put them in a food chopper until they are crumbly. They make great breadcrumbs for homemade chicken nuggets.
Also, you can season them before you bake them and make croutons.

Long after a wedding, the memories of this special day can be shared by looking at photos and watching videos. An album of photographs is a precious record of the day you were married, but a wedding video production is something on another level altogether, a narrative that captures the sights, sounds and emotions of your wedding.
While anyone who has a video camera can make a recording of your wedding day, making a good wedding video production is a complex task involving experience, skill, sensitivity and artistry. How does a couple find a video producer who will do justice to an event as important as their wedding?
On our Wedding Video Production page you'll find links to dozens of websites of wedding video producers who work in your area. Don't be daunted by the number of wedding videographers in your area, because we're about to suggest some tips for reducing that long list to a much more manageable size.
Portfolios are Important
Your first task is to view a range of different sample videos and find a few wedding video producers whose style appeals to you. Visit the sites and check out some of the sample videos on each; you might be surprised at the variety of different approaches you discover. Move on to another site quite quickly if the style of a videographer doesn't appeal to you - but if you find someone whose work both of you really love, whose videography style would suit the sort of wedding you are planning, and whose videos have good vision and sound quality, bookmark the website.
Find packages that suit your budget
Now that you have a list of wedding video production professionals whose work strongly appeals to you, it's time to consider the cost of a wedding video production. (It's important when you compare video package prices to remember that a team which spends a whole day filming your wedding is likely to spend another three days editing the film.) Go back to each website you've bookmarked and check out the prices of their wedding packages. Eliminate anyone from your list whose prices don't suit your budget.
Make a shortlist
Revisit the websites of the videographers remaining on your checklist and read about their backgrounds: training, qualifications, industry accreditations and experience. If there's a blog on the website, you'll get some insight into what inspires this individual or team. After all this research, you'll now be well aware of the combination of craft, knowledge and passion that you will be paying for, and it's why a professional wedding video production is more expensive than a dude with a video camera!
By this time your short list will consist of only a handful of videographers whose style, technical expertise and value appear to suit you. Now it's time to arrange to catch up with them, to discover how what you have seen online is reflected in the people you meet, and consider how you could work together.
Meet the Videographer
These meetings will typically identify at least one wedding video production professional who is efficient, friendly and puts you at ease immediately. To help you make the final choice, when you meet up with your candidate videographers bear in mind what it was about their work that attracted you, and be ready to discuss your plans and expectations for your video and to ask about any uncertainties. You want to be sure they will respect your wishes and provide you with a wedding video that captures the essence of your special day.

New to the Hoover Band?
We hold a Band Parent 101 Orientation each year before the band season begins. However, if you were unable to attend, check out the Band Parent 101 presentation. (Downloadable PDF)
Who are the Hoover Band Boosters?
All parents of band members, Color Guard and the Buccanettes are automatically members of the Hoover Band Boosters. Relatives and friends are welcome to participate in Band Booster activities.
Are there any dues required for Band Booster membership?
No, there are no financial dues, but the Band Boosters depend your support.
What is the purpose of the Band Boosters?
Band Boosters provide much of the labor that is needed to "get the show on the field". Boosters also help to provide for the financial needs of our students by staffing concessions and the marching festival. Band Boosters do not interfere with the band directors or the school administration in day to day activities.
How is the organization run?
Band Boosters are led by an elected slate of officers who compose the executive board. The executive board follows the by-laws of the organization. The executive board typically meet prior to the general meetings. Board meetings are open to any booster member.
My student has been given several fundraising opportunities. Who benefits from the profits?
Your student. The Band Boosters do not get "a cut" of the profits. Fundraisers are provided as a way for students to defray the cost the annual band trip. An individual account is kept for each student. All profits from student sales go into the opt-in program and are used to off-set student's cost of the band trip. Band Booster income comes from concessions and the Marching Festival.
What is a Marching Band Competition? If our Festival represents over half of the annual budget, is it a required event?
Bands perform shows for a panel of judges, competing in categories based on their size. Attending marching band competitions is an excellent way for our students to see other schools with strong band programs perform their shows. Because of the outstanding reputation our Festival enjoys, we have over 30 bands competing with an overall attendance of around 13,000. It takes Band Boosters and band students working together to do everything that needs to be done.
Band Boosters raise significant funds through the Festival and concessions. What is this money used for?
Band booster funds purchase instruments, uniforms, and field props as they need to be replaced or added. We rent the trucks to move the band equipment for games and contests. We provide water and soft drinks to students at football games. We also help with the maintenance and repair of school-owned instruments as well as contest and honor band registration fees. We provide recognition awards at the annual band banquet.
How can I help?
The Band Boosters always need your help. We need approximately 30 – 40 chaperones for every time the band boards the buses. We need 30 people to work the concession stands at a football game at the high school. We need 80 people to work the concession stands at a football game at The Hoover Met. We need over 300 people to work at the Hoover Invitational Marching Festival. To find out more about areas where we need your help and to volunteer, please click here.

US Economy Surges Up With Job Additions
The American economy provides the first glimmer of hope in a recessionary economy. With reports of the first quarter labor surveys filtering in, it seems that 287000 jobs have been added by June which has gone above the cautious estimate of 180,000 that was predicted by the economy experts. It definitely is accompanied by a jump in payrolls as well, which has been the biggest in the last eight months. The unemployment rate has climbed up slightly, but that could be due to the additional number of people who joined up in the labor force of the country in the first quarter. The participation rate is up by 62.7% in the month of June.
Impact on unemployment
The unemployment rate has increased marginally, from 8.2% for African Americans to 8.6%, while for the Latino Americans the unemployment rate has gone up to 5.8% from 5.6%. Both figures show marginal increases that should not be cause for concern. Hourly earnings at an average have increased if you compare the year over year figures. The increase has been from 2.6% to 2.7%.
Job additions and resultant impact
The job additions have come primarily in the non farming sector but it is not time yet to fully rejoice. The weaknesses witnessed in the job sectors have not been covered fully as yet. The reports that came in May were dismal, but June reports showed improvement. US companies reported adding a paltry figure of 38000 additions in payrolls. The number was short of what the economists predicted. The May figure was revised lower while the April figures were revised up. However, the overall picture is positive as is being seen by most economists. The global implications also reflect the health of the world's economy. The US job market reflects the monetary policy and the direction that it is moving toward. There are implications too for the currency and bond markets. US payrolls show that investors are waiting for confirmation that weaker currency is not leading to a weaker trend. The Feds are also watching the job scenario closely. It is a mandate of the Federal Reserve that the country should have full employment. If there are deteriorating trends seen in the job markets the Feds would respond by making the monetary policy looser.
Cautious outlook remains
The Job Report In May had been disappointing for which the Feds decided not to increase the interest rates. The pace of pickup in the labor market is not yet fast enough, but the economic activities have stepped up in general. Job gains need to raise more though unemployment rates have gone down. In general, the economists are making cautious predictions in light of the slowly improving world economy. With added jobs and a positive outlook in general, it is hoped that recovery would be more positive in the second quarter. That would certainly signal the Feds To Start Hiking Interest Rates.
Investing Focus Gets Back To US
With Brexit becoming reality investors focus on US. The Brexit news had been much awaited in the world corporate scenario and indeed, in the weeks following up to the opinion polls, the world economic scenario had been uncertain and future investment decisions were put on hold in many cases. As it has been a week since the decision was announced, the European Union has become busy with several meetings being held by policy makers and business leaders as to work on consequent policies and norms that would come into place in the European Union as a result of this decision. The overall impact is a slowdown of the economy following Brexit which has to be countered with the right measures.
Market reactions
There had been uncertainty in the global markets as this decision was pending, but Brexit has definitely nailed all hopes to the ground. The European markets were hoping to surge back to Britain chooses to remain with the European Union, but that did not turn out to be. The negative impact on the financial sector is palpable. The Bank of England has hinted that the bank rates would be lowered to counter the adverse impact on the economy that would be felt this summer. Hence, an interest cuts as much as 85% is expected to come in the month of November. All trading sectors have their eyes on currency pairs like USD/GBP and EUR/GBP in order to understand the impact of this decision that is being felt in the forex trading scenario. Check Out this article on Bremain Affects Trading Markets.
Traders change focus
In general the traders are not changing their focus of US with the current scenario yet to settle in Britain or in Europe. The jobs data that has been recently published in US shows that the US industries are looking up and it has strengthened since the Brexit referendum has been announced. Investors are now looking to move to the safety of the dollar from the turbulent and uncertain European market. There is much hope been generated from the jobs data published in the US. The non farm payrolls are not encouraging, but show slow growth. Hence, it is too early to predict that there would be a rise in the US job sector immediately, but it is definitely a more steady market to look at for investing purposes than the European market. Gold has been a beneficiary at this time as the Brexit decision was announced and realized. It has reached a high mark and will sustain the position at current times.
As for the US economy, markets are withstanding volatility as of now. The industrial average's show slow growth and dips that is not alarming. As per the domestic economic performance, the consumer spending has been slow but steady. It signifies about two thirds of spending in the US economy and hence, caution needs to be taken if one is planning to invest aggressively in this sector.
Risk Appetite In Forex Markets Remains Steady
If you look at the Asian markets that opened this week there has not been much excitement, but the markets have picked up strength. The Hong Kong and Japan indices have gained and are up by 1.25%. The commodity that has gained the most has been gold, thanks to the refit situation adding to the uncertainty of European markets and how they will face the downturn that is going on. Crude oil is down and is likely to remain at levels around 49. Commodity movements seem to be limited to such extent. Take a glance at how the first quarter FY16 ended last week.
The last weekend there were more talks about the Brexit situation, but the markets did not get swayed by any apprehension about that. Trading has been subdued as well due to the US national holiday that has been on 4th July. As per the Brexit situation and the impact of the same on the finances of the European Union, the ECB executive board stated that it is too early to predict any action that would be taken by the central bank. The time frame as well as terms of the Brexit needs to be cleared up so that uncertainties do not remain. British economy as well as monetary policies would have faced challenges that are contradictory in nature. The challenge of inflation is one and the effect of the same on the pound that has fallen by 11 percent since Brexit was announced.
The impact of Brexit of the European economic scene is uncertain and that is leaving a negative effect on job market predictions as well as on investments. The central bank would be looking at Q2 for signs to predict which way the inflation rate would move. With such uncertainties in the European market and the lack of a clear winner in the polls in Australia turns the focus of the world economy towards the US. The events in this country will remain in focus now. Rates have remained steady, even after the Brexit situation unfolded. Rate hikes are being predicted by the Feds as they see signs of investments coming their way past the Brexit uncertainty. Job data that has come in to US for the first quarter look solid and that would surely encourage investors to consider putting in their funds in this market.
If you look at the micro events that have happened in the last week ending the first quarter you will find that Australia has seen building approvals that has boosted confidence in the investor sector. Trade balances and retail sales have been positive in this country. UK retail sales have held as well as the USA factories see a steady inflow of orders. Japan has showcased cash earnings for the labor sector, while Germany and UK have had positive trade balances. These are some indications of the forex market holding steady. That heralds the start of a new quarter as well. Find Out More here about Why Japan Threatens To Make Forex Intervention.
Firms Remain Cautious About Investments In Canada
Take a look at the Latest Investment Scenario In Canada. With the first quarter of FY16 concluded in a turbulent market scenario, Canada has been able to hold itself steady, relatively though businesses are taking cues from the slowdown of global demand and are being cautious when it comes to considering new investments. The service sector seems to be optimistic though the energy sector is anticipating a slowdown in demand. The reason is the weak prices ion the commodity sector. This is as per the findings of a survey by the Bank of Canada. Business sentiment remains low as commodity prices are weak and this in turn is weighing on the firms and affecting their decisions to invest further. Take A Look at this article on Alternative Investment Opportunities You Need To Know.
The central bank of the country issued the business outlook survey for the quarter, which indicated that the investment plans for the firms remained on the cautious side. Many businesses which operate in the energy sector are anticipating that their demand forecasts might be amended on the lower side. The service sector, however, showcased an optimistic picture for the future and the investment plans for the same. Domestic demand is predicted at modest levels overall. Key factors as foreign demand and uncertainty in foreign markets is holding back the investors when it comes to taking the plunge to increasing work and investments in different sectors.
The central bank, however predicted that the next 12 months will see acceleration in demand and sales will grow. The businesses in areas like Saskatchewan and Alberta are seeing recovery after the oil price fall that was experienced. The regions that are not too dependent on the energy sector have reported a modest improvement in demand. The findings are on the basis of a survey conducted in the early parts of May and June. This was before the UK vote occurred on whether it would stay or leave the European Union. The central bank has found that businesses are expecting sales to accelerate at a faster pace next year, though the predictions have also gone down, from 48% to 43%.
The economists are quick to point out that the global economy being in an uncertain state, this has an effect on the Canadian economy as well. The energy prices having fallen and still on their way to recovery would have a negative impact on businesses. Hence, businesses are staying on hold, remaining steady with the growth rate that they see which not enough to predict a growth in investments is. The central bank had reduced the interest rates twice last year. This was in response to the negative effects as oil prices fell. This is a major resource for the businesses here and the business sector has been cautious since then. Hiring intentions remain the same, but there is no upbeat change predicted. The addition of jobs is expected to remain the same without a sharp rise or increase. Service sector would be adding on more than the energy sector.
Can US Economy Learn From Dubai Economy?
The lack of growth in the American economy is worrisome. We always complain about the state of our economy. Even though it is doing okay at the moment, especially after the 2008 recession, we are all worried about the future of the US economy. China and India, once considered as 3rd world countries, are fast developing. In fact, China has already overtaken the US. In that case, we are looking for inspiration wherever we can find. Let's take a look at the Middle Eastern city Dubai. The kind of growth Dubai has witnessed in the last few decades is nothing short of magic. We can learn a lot from them. We have to fight the lazy bureaucracy, rabid regulators, crony capitalists and growing dependent class. We can see that Dubai doesn't have these challenges. Learning more about the growth of Dubai will teach us some important lessons as how to approach our economy. After all, some 25 years ago, this was a plain desert! People have already started doubting the Longevity Of The US Economy. To Learn More, Click Here.
The US economy badly needs a role model. What about the Dubai economy?
Dubai as we know today
As we all know, Dubai is one of the richest global cities in the world. It attracts millions of tourists every year. Also, the kind of infrastructure, we see in Dubai is really amazing. There are several things going in the favor of this Middle Eastern city. However, one cannot overlook the influence of oil on the economy of Dubai. Ever since they discovered oil in 1966, Dubai has witnessed the large scale urban development, which was unprecedented. They spend the profit from oil on the infrastructure projects. However, they knew that relying too much on the limited oil reserves wasn't a very good idea. As a result, they focused their energy on diversification of the economy. They ventured into other fields as well. As a result, oil contributes only less than 3% to the overall economy of Dubai today.
The gateway of Middle East
As we can see, they had capable leaders leading their country. Their leaders have been visionary and they took charge of their economy and did the right things at the right time.
- To make advantage of their strategic location, they built a large harbor named Jebel Ali, which was inaugurated in 1979.
- And in 1985, they created Jebel Ali Free Zone. This has definitely helped Dubai as it started competing with Hong Kong and Singapore ports in no time. It became a very popular re-export center very soon.
- Liberal civil laws also helped their economy. As a result, Dubai became an attractive location for many multinational companies to do their business. Many companies opened their offices and warehouses in the country. All these helped the economy to grow in a new direction.
A business magnet
Without any doubt, Dubai is known as a business magnet. Dubai soon became a trade hub for the entire Middle East. They invested their resources in creating infrastructure and facilities. Also, they modified the laws to make sure that companies find Dubai an attractive destination to do business. This resulted in many global companies to head to Dubai. Soon, the World Trade Center was opened in Dubai in 1979. And many other business oriented facilities like Dubai Internet City, Dubai World Center Dubai Investment Park etc. came to the fore.
Bremain Affects Trading Markets
The relation between Sterling and Forex has taken a pause after it grew for some time, banking on hopes created by the Bremain situation. The British pound has eased back against the US dollar today. This is after it posted a large gain as compared to last 7 years when Britain decided to stay back and be part of the European Union. If you are wondering how much sentiment play a role in forex markets, this should give you a fair idea on how sentiments rule the highs and lows besides pure statistics and economic decisions.
The effect on the UK's decision to stay or opt out of EU affects trading decisions.
Bremain sentiments affect the markets
There were opinion polls run on Monday where it showed that the camp in favor of Britain staying with the Union had covered some grounds in the debate that has been ensuing about the European Union and Britain referendum. The probability for Britain to stay with the Union rose to 78 percent as per the vote that came in on Thursday. This was in contrast to the same vote falling to a low figure of 60 percent last Thursday. These were the odds that were gathered by the gaming website called Betfair. The movement of the foreign currencies has been accordingly. For instance, the British pound eased up about 0.1 percent in the Asian markets, which pulled back from a high figure that was set on Monday. It has risen again on Monday by 2.1 percent, which has been a big gain in a single day, a feat that has occurred in the forex markets last in 2008. The Influence On World Events In Forex Trading are Discussed Here.
Band patterns
As per these movements, it is apparent that the market is reacting to every change in opinion polls. The market in general has been witnessing a choppy trading scenario as there are big decisions that are yet to be taken. Hence, trading in options is yet to see considerable changes in pattern. This is as per the currency pair and the band that it has been tested for since May. If there is a break of the levels of $1.47-48 band it would lead to short covering trends in the British pound. Traders are of the opinion that any break in the band or pattern would come only when the results are released of the referendum discussions. Hence, one could see more ups and downs in the trading patterns till concrete results are known. These are of the opinions of currency strategists in Tokyo. However, the latest swings have been in favor of UK remaining in the European Union. The actual results of the vote will reach Asian markets by Friday morning and hence, sharp changes in trading patterns will come by after that.
Volatility and predictions
It is implied that pound options remain volatile. Many investors feel that this indicates that the Leave camp is having diminishing probability. The volatility that lasted for three months has stood at an average of 13.3 percent. Last week it was especially high at 18.5 percent. The Euro has been down, but it rose about 0.5 percent against the sterling. It also rose against the dollar by 0.1 percent.

Investing is not that simple; it can be really tricky. This holds true especially in the case of first-time investors.

- Hold a mixture of different types of investments which can improve your investment portfolio.
- There are plenty of choices before you including property, cash, bonds, shares etc.
- When you opt for more than one asset class, you will ensure that all of them won't rise or fall in value at once.
- I would also suggest you to reduce the risk via geographical exposure as well.
- Opting for long term investment is another way to reduce the risk factor.
Be knowledgeable
When it comes to investment, having an in-depth knowledge about the type of investments you have is always going to be beneficial. You might be getting help from an investment solutions provider or financial adviser. But being knowledgeable about your investments is always going to come in handy at one point or the other. It is important to have a good understanding of your portfolio. You should be aware of the fact that there are people who are looking for an opportunity to cheat you. Therefore, it is really important to have a more realistic expectation about the returns and profits. There are Alternative Investment Opportunities You Need To Know. Let's Take A Look Here.
Long term investment is crucial
Long term investment can always be more profitable. You might get huge profit. But the only problem attached with this is the long wait, which most of us are not ready for. When you go for long term investments, you might be doing the right thing to secure your future. Long term investments can hardly go wrong. But people are not interested in long term investments. This is true especially in the case of new investors. They are always looking for, making a quick profit. Of course, you should opt for options that provide quick profit. But more than that, you need to make sure that you have considered long term investment options as well. Putting all your eggs in a single basket is never a good idea. So, remember the significance of long term investment for the overall health of your investment.
Accounting Rules To Change For US Banks
Accounting rules have been shaken up and many members of the banking lobby in US are concerned about what it would imply. It might force banks to be able to accommodate losses on loans. That might be difficult to accept by banks, as the rules would also include recognizing the losses from the day the loans originated. Take A Look at a new rule that is to be implemented for US banks.
Current scenario and changes proposed
The regime that exists now allows banks to hold off on adding to the reserves till a point is reached when a loan is a probability. However, with the new rule that has been finalized, banks need to log all expected losses which originate from day one of a loan. The losses need to be logged based on the following factors:
- Experience
- Forecasts of the banks
- Current economic state
The overhaul is set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board that states that the overhaul was necessary and will bring about changes in banking decisions that will see significant differences as compared to the last 40 years of their operations. The new standard will be adopted since 2019 and it would become mandatory from 2020. It would help to rein in the kind of behaviors that banks have exhibited which has led to financial crises coming up. Banks have offered loans even when their allowances have run down and been in losses. This had looked pretty in the books of the banks, which only increased the troubles for the banks when their loans turned into non performing assets.
What bank lobby says?
The rule change is being chafed at by bank lobbyists. They warn that the assessment of the losses that are likely will become a deterrent and reduce lending to a large extent. As banks weigh in the potential risks more it would lead to less loans being meted out. As the vice president of the American Bankers Association pointed out, if the forecasts were to be of longer terms it would make profits more volatile and so would capital levels become. Banks are known to change their estimates by the year. To know Why Is It Important To Embrace Online Banking – Visit This Link.
If estimates and assumptions are changed every year it would mean whether a dividend is being paid or not. There would have to be a good support system and expert predictions in place. The new standard is finalized, but ABA feels that they can shape the way the rule would be implemented between the current period and by 2019. The banking industry is voiced by the American Bankers Association, which is based out of Washington, DC and their voice is considered to have a lot of weightage in the banking industry. The lenders who are part of this association account for $12tn of assets in deposits who forward about $8tn in terms of loans. If there would be changes in assumptions it would mean that there would be a difference in whether a dividend is paid or not. However the new rule is supported by many as they feel that the new rule would be cleaner and simpler and helps to align the underwriting economics and informational needs of investors.

- How It Works
We believe that information is power and knowledge is king, which is why we provide you with powerful tools to both capture user information and behaviour as well as give you the ability to monitor your own staff performance.
As users register and manage their profile through the customer portal, they provide invaluable and previously unattainable information, such as medical history, biometric data and not least letting you know in what areas and at what times they feel vulnerable. This information is easily displayed and analysed through the control panel's data mining tools. These tools give security companies new and unique opportunities to both potentially upsell new services and provide further services based on relevant user data.
Your clients provide personal information when registering via the customer portal, which creates higher retention rates, as switching to a new provider would mean re-registering and losing all previous data such as alert history and video evidence. As the application is branded with your company logo, a user is also reminded of your service every time they look at the screen icon, even if they don't feel a need to activate it.
In order to keep track of your business progress, we report on all matters related to billing and not simply on the number of users. With PanicGuard you can at the click of button see how many new users have signed within any given period, as well as see actual retention and behaviour, both graphically illustrated and in table format.
We believe that "what gets measured gets done" which is why the control panel has tools which easily give both historic and real-time information on areas such as response times, number of alerts per controller and login times. With this information you can easily create reports on who dealt with which alerts and what the outcome was. In turn this means that creating bespoke customer reports is as simple as the click of a button. All professionally presented reports are instantly available in either Excel or PDF formats.

Thanks to a friend I received an Advance Reader Copy of Nancy Horan's new book, Under the Wide and Starry Sky. Nancy Horan is the author of Loving Frank, a fictionalized story about architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Because Loving Frank is on my list of all-time favorite books, I was delighted to have a sneak-peek at Horan's new book due out January 7, 2014.
Horan's new novel begins in 1875 and focuses on Fanny van de Grift Osbourne, an independent American woman who flees her life with a philandering husband in San Francisco and moves with her children to Belgium. After a personal tragedy, she moves to an artist colony in France where she can retreat and refocus her life. While in France, Fanny meets a young Scot who instantly falls in love with her. The Scotsman, Robert Louis Stevenson, is an unhealthy attorney, plagued with lung ailments, who yearns to devote his life to writing. Stevenson's love for Fanny is not a popular decision with his family and friends; however, he is determined to forge ahead. After Stevenson achieves fame, Fanny must strike a balance between her independence, desire to also be a writer, and support for Stevenson.
I enjoy reading Historical Fiction and learning about a well-known person in a new way. Stevenson is best known for his novels Treasure Island and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; however, despite his writing success, health and personal issues plagued him during his lifetime and readers will come to appreciate the partnership Fanny and Stevenson shared that enabled his life as an author. From France to Scotland, California, England, Switzerland and Samoa, each place offered challenges and triumphs. The book is on order, so put your hold in now for this great new novel. ~Enjoy~

A short late-night post. Today has been a long, very difficult day. Confession time? This verse is actually tomorrow's reading, but I cheated and switched the two days. I read ahead and just knew that this one was meant to be shared today. A light is coming. That truth might not ring in your ears tonight; I know that tonight, it doesn't in mine. But that it doesn't feel true doesn't make it stop being truth.
A light is coming. A light is coming. A light. is. coming.

Her work, I really think her workIs finding what her real work isAnd doing it,Her work, her own work,Her being human,Her being in the world.
Ursula K. Le Guin
What is OUR work? The work of the feminine...the work of this gender... the meaning to the activities of our lives, day in and day out.
My mind runs to the measuring of my life by the quality of relationships; family, children, friends, coworkers and the richness felt by my personal soul when I give back to the world.
But these would simply be the by-product of an even deeper work, a work that is constant and continual and has been there my entire life. From the moment that I get out of bed, throughout my days, into my evenings; over holidays, Saturdays, Sundays; in times of joy, in times of strife, in times of quiet reflection or chaos; that deeper work is the discovery, re-discovery and re-birth of me along the way.
My work is to be a woman on my own terms and of my own definition. My work is to understand that the woman I was at 19, at 32, at 45, at 55 and on and on will be ever-growing, continually developing, always learning and re-defining the meaning of me. And it's my work to persevere in it.
And so, my work, is to understand, accept, support, educate and know, really know, the person who is me. To question, seek answers, feel the energy of the world and claim what I want from it, and, in turn encourage other women to come along with me. And, as I travel on this life journey of defining and knowing myself, of being a part of and doing the job of living, I know that my work is to make my own personal contribution and share what I've learned with the world so you, they, whomever, too can take what is needed from my life and do your work.

We've released a new feature which should make it easier for your colleagues and students to sign up to EF Class.
Teachers who are new to the app have a smoother experience when creating an account, and students can now create their accounts before having to enter a class code.
We've also fixed lots of bugs and made improvements to the interface and overall experience. We really appreciate your feedback, so please let us know what you think.
The EF Class Team
Not sure what this news actually means ? Just tried it now with a brand new "dummy student " account. The next screen after you choose a "student" account asks for a Class code.
Then thought I would create a new class as a teacher and run a lesson. Logged in as a different "dummy student", one I have used many times, and so of course this class will not know this student. It then asks for a class code.
Cannot see how this is any different .
Hi Paul,
Thanks for your feedback.
The real difference in the improved sign up is not how it affects the students, but how new teachers are now able to instantly create their account and sign into the app. This was not the case before. There's also a clearer distinctiin now between creating a student account and a teacher account.
You're right, students will still need a class code in order to enter a class. The main difference there is that they can now create their account before entering the class code rather than the other way around. I have slightly modified the post to hopefully make this a little clearer.
Thanks again,
NicolasThe EF Class Team

Stereoscopic 3d
James Cameron and the future of films
At the eve of 2009, the 500 Million dollar movie Avatar, by James Cameron was released. Critics and movie goers alike were blown away by the awe inspiring imagery. Smart movie goers opted to spend a few extra bucks and enjoy the movie in the Stereoscopic 3D format. This movie wasnt your headache inducing 3D style of movie pulp past and many swore to return again soon to witness this amazing experience.
What many movie goers may not have realized as they exited the theater, is they had just experienced a milestone of film history.
Its no secret that film piracy, a falling economy and increased film prices have been contributing to a slower growth in the film industry, with many doomsayers calling for the death of film as we know it. Why will the next generation of savvy film goers pay high priced concession fees, sit in uncomfortable chairs and wait in lines for films they can download in under 20 minutes and watch on their home LCD and Plasma sets with near theater sound?
James Cameron knows the answer...stereoscopic 3d, done right!
The new Stereoscopic 3D
What viewers may not realize is that Cameron himself took the mantle up of not only developing a new advanced style of camera that is capable of a new era of stereoscopic recording he also campaigned for the last 5 years convincing the movie industry that they should update their theaters to be compatible with his new technology!
In the end, Cameron was able to create a technology that uses two cameras that mimic the natural actions of the human eye...two cameras/channels working in conjunction (stereo) while filming which leads to a 3d depth of field.
The video above shows the camera in action and explains its unique features.
He also developed the film technology to be compatible with existing film screens and a new generation of silver screens that he helped pioneer.
The distinction being whether one is required to wear a clunky switch shutter LCD goggle similar to what one wears in an IMAX 3D movie or a simple $1.00 pair of polarizing lenses.
Traditional Stereoscopic 3d (Anaglyph)
Stereoscopic 3d Home Theater and Gaming
I recently watched the animated movie, Coraline on my home Plasma. One side of the DVD was the traditional 2D version, the other side was a 3d version. This movie was made with traditional 3d imagery (Anaglypgh) which requires red-cyan glasses like the ones showcased above. It was truly amazing. Coraline, is a film written and animated by Neil Gaiman, writer of the popular Sandman series, and my favorites, American Gods and Neverwhere. Its certainly not your standard childrens fare and it was amazing to see in 3d sitting at home!
But, my experience, is just the beginning of home 3d stereoscopic films and gaming. Kits are already available to both film and view in 3d right from your home computer or TV.
Fun facts
The next version of HDMI will be 3d compliant!
Disney is set to release films under the new 3d technology
Star Wars and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy will be re-released in 3d versions!
James Cameron will be only creating 3d films from this day forward

For Heaven's Sake (1926)
I always have a harder time liking the pictures where Harold starts out unsympathetic. That immediate connection is lost. Regardless, the end result is deft and funny, although not one of my favorites. Lloyd plays a wealthy (and rather clueless) gentleman who unwittingly winds up helping a minister's beautiful daughter, played by Jobyna Ralston (who is growing on me), and eventually the entire church mision. The "heavies" steal the picture out from under Harold; indeed, the biggest laughs came during the Drunk Roundup sequence. Noah Young was brilliant as The Roughneck!
I give this one:
The Kid Brother (1927)
I'm still all warm and fuzzy over this one! Reminded me of my favorite Lloyd picture, Grandma's Boy. Harold Hickory is the youngest and weakest of Sherrif Hickory's three boys. After being treated as the runt of the litter, being forced to do "women's work", an opportunity arises for him to become the victor! Will his brains succeed over brawn? Will he win over the lovely gypsy girl (Jobyna Ralston)? Will he ever get down from that tree? This is a charming and very funny picture and I highly recommend it, as did Lloyd - it was one of his personal favorites.
I give this one:

Despite the recent snow the work has continued on at Craigieburn, and contractors have completed the new forest track that now links the bush to the open farm paddocks. Delta has done an excellent job of laying in the new gravel surface which is a gentle undulating walk that links Craigieburn to the Ross Creek network. The new track will take a few weeks to settle in and while it is not "officially" open people have already been curious to see where this new track link will take them. The track complements the new stairs built by the project team on the other existing track to the Rimu forest area. New signage and markers will be in position over the next few months as the project begins gearing up for its official opening in late October this year. While the track settles and there are still a few clean up jobs that need completion, people are asked to take extra care if they venture into the area.

The FlagTuesday, January 29th, 2008
Last week, Christopher Hitchens had a great piece on the confederate flag controversy, pointing out that our lazy media hadn't bothered to point out that (a) the confederate flag is not the official state flag of South Carolina; (b) it was flown purely as a defiant gesture against federally-ordered integration.
When I was younger, I defended the flying of the confederate flag, a position I look back on with embarrassment. I supported it for a variety of reasons, mainly the idea that the Civil War "wasn't about slavery" so why should black people be offended?
What tipped me back was two realizations:
(1) Even if the Civil War wasn't "about" slavery, the issue was so entrenched with the war, the distinction is academic. Without slavery, there would have been no war.
(2) It doesn't matter if blacks' offense at the Confederate flag is rational or not. The flag is supposed to represent all the people of the state. If some fraction finds the flag offensive — whether their offense is reasonable or not — it should be changed.

Highgate United 6 v 1 Coleshill Town
Scorer: Unknown.
P34 W6 D6 L22 F46 A78 Pts24 Pos17/18
Highgate recorded their fourth consecutive league victory on Tuesday evening when they entertained a young but hard working Coleshill side. A four goal burst in a ten minute first half spell put Gate well on the way to three points, Lee Brosnan opening the scoring on 25 minutes. Five minutes later Alex Brotherton looped a header well out of the keeper's reach, followed by an unstoppable angled volley from defender Ricky Martin. Leading scorer Derek Hall added two more to his tally with goals on 35 and 64 minutes, in between which Brosnan turned home a loose ball after the keeper had parried Robert Sweeney's low drive. Coleshill scored a late goal but finished well beaten by a rampant home team.
Coleshill Town finished second from bottom but escaped relegation. Only bottom team Dudley Sports were relegated, Alveston won the league by seven points.
