Fractal geometry is a workable geometric middle ground between the excessive geometric order of Euclid and the geometric chaos of general mathematics. It is based on a form of symmetry that had previously been underused, namely invariance under contraction or dilation. Fractal geometry is conveniently viewed as a language that has proven its value by its uses. Its uses in art and pure mathematics, being without 'practical' application, can be said to be poetic. Its uses in various areas of the study of materials and of other areas of engineering are examples of practical prose. Its uses in physical theory, especially in conjunction with the basic equations of mathematical physics, combine poetry and high prose. Several of the problems that fractal geometry tackles involve old mysteries, some of them already known to primitive man, others mentioned in the Bible, and others familiar to every landscape artist.
Instead of attempting to introduce and link together the papers that follow in this Discussion Meeting, we prefer to ponder the question, 'What is fractal geometry?' We write primarily for the comparative novice, but have tried to include tidbits for the already informed reader.
Before we tackle what a fractal is, let us ponder what a fractal is not. Take a geometric shape and examine it in increasing detail. That is, take smaller and smaller portions near a point P, and allow every one to be dilated, that is, enlarged to some prescribed overall size. If our shape belongs to standard geometry, it is well known that the enlargements become increasingly smooth. Ultimately, nearly every connected shape is locally linear. One can say, for example, that 'a generic curve is attracted under dilations' to a straight line (thus defining the tangent at the point P). And 'a generic surface is attracted by dilation' to a plane (thus defining the tangent plane at the point P). More generally, one can say that nearly every standard shape's local structure converges under dilation to one of the small number of 'universal attractors'. The term 'attractor' is borrowed from dynamics and probability theory, and the even more grandiose term, 'universal', is borrowed from recent physics. An example of exception to this rule is when P is a double point of a curve ; the curve near P is then attracted to two intersecting lines and has two tangents; but double points are few and far between in standard curves.
Standard geometry and calculus (which is intimately related to it) have long proven to be extraordinarily effective in the sciences. Yet there is no question that Nature fails to be locally linear. Indeed, the shapes of Nature are so varied as to deserve being called 'geometrically chaotic', unless proven otherwise. Unfortunately, 'complete' chaos could not conceivably lead to a science. This is perhaps why many of the oldest concerns of Man, such as concerns with the shapes of mountains, clouds and trees or, with the floods of the Nile, had not led to sciences comparable in effectiveness to the physics of smooth phenomena.
Though the term 'chaos' was not used, one can say that a second kind of chaos became known during the half century, 1875–1925, when mathematicians who were fleeing from concerns with Nature took cognizance of the fact that a geometry shape's roughness may conceivably fail to vanish as the examination becomes more searching. It may conceivably vary endlessly, up and down. The hold of standard geometry was so powerful, however, that the shapes constructed so that they do not reduce locally to straight lines were labelled 'monsters' and 'pathological'.
Between the extremes of linear geometric order and of geometric chaos ruled by 'pathologies', can there be a middle ground of 'organized' or 'orderly' geometric chaos? The author has conceived and outlined such a ground, and gave its study the name of 'fractal geometry', the fuller name being 'fractal geometry of nature and chaos'. It will be argued momentarily that fractal geometry is best viewed as a geometric language, new as of 1975, which incorporates as 'characters' several of the mathematical monsters of 1875–1925, and whose uses have now become so diverse, that it is possible to sort them out as poetry, strictly utilitarian prose and high prose.
Broadly speaking, mathematical and natural fractals are shapes whose roughness and fragmentation neither tend to vanish, nor fluctuate up and down, but remain essentially unchanged as one zooms in continually and examination is refined. Hence, the structure of every piece holds the key to the whole structure.
An alternative term is 'self-similar', which has two meanings. One can understand 'similar' as a loose everyday synonym of' analogous'. But there is also the strict textbook sense of 'contracting similarity'. It expresses that each part is a linear geometric reduction of the whole, with the same reduction ratios in all directions. Figure 1 illustrates a standard strictly self-similar fractal, called Sierpinski gasket. In the early days, the resulting terminological ambiguity was acceptable to physicists, because early detailed studies did indeed concentrate on strictly self-similar shapes. However, more recent developments have extended, in particular, to include self-affine shapes, in which the reductions are still linear but the reduction ratios in different directions are different. For example, a relief is nearly self-affine, in the sense that to go from a large piece to a small piece one must contract the horizontal and vertical coordinates in different ratios.
Can the process of taking parts be inverted, by replacing zooming in by zooming away from the object of interest ? Indeed, many fractals, including the strictly self-similar ones, can be extrapolated to become unbounded, and they can remain unchanged when the above process is reversed and the shaped is examined at increasingly rough scales. To gain an idea of the appearance of an extrapolated Sierpinski gasket, it suffices to focus on a very small piece of figure 1, and then to imagine that this piece has been blown up to letter size, and therefore the whole gasket has become so large that its edges are beyond visibility. This illustration shows that each choice of a small piece to focus upon yields a different extrapolate.
When the Sierpinski gasket is constructed as in figure 1, that is, by deleting middle triangles, one sees it has three properties of contracting self-similarity, as pointed out in the caption of figure 1. These properties appear, so to speak, as 'static' and 'after-the-fact', but this is a completely misleading impression. Its prevalence and its being viewed as a flaw came to us as a surprise. Therefore, it is good to stop and show how, knowing the same symmetries, it is easy to reconstruct the gasket 'dynamically' by a stochastic interpretation of a scheme due to J. Hutchinson. The basic principle of this scheme first arose long ago, in the work of Poincaré and Klein, and corresponding illustrations using randomization are found in our book (Mandelbrot 1982). Start with an 'initiator' that is an arbitrary bounded set, for example is a point P0. Denote the three similarities of the gasket by S0, S1 and S2, and denote by k(m) a random sequence of the digits 0, 1 and 2. Then define an 'orbit' as made of the points P1 = Sk(1)(P0), P2 = Sk(2)(P1) and more generally Pj = Sk(j)(Pj-1). One finds that this orbit is 'attracted' to the gasket, and that after a few stages it describes its shape very well.
How did fractals come to play their role of 'extracting order out of chaos?' To understand, one must go beyond simple shapes like the gasket or like the other fractals-to-be that mathematicians have first introduced as counter-examples. In these 'old' shapes, indeed, what one gets out follows easily from what has been knowingly put in. The key to fractal geometry's effectiveness resides in a very surprising discovery the author has made, largely thanks to computer graphics.
The algorithms that generate the other fractals are typically so extraordinarily short, as to look positively dumb. This means they must be called 'simple'. Their fractal outputs, to the contrary, often appear to involve structures of great richness.
A priori, one would have expected that the construction of complex shapes would necessitate complex rules. Thus, fractal geometry can be the study of geometric shapes that may seem chaotic, but are in fact perfectly orderly.
Let us, for the sake of contrast, comment on the examples of a related match between mathematics and the computer that arise in areas such as the study of water eddies and wakes. In these examples, the input in terms of reasoning or of number of lines of program is extremely complicated, perhaps more complicated even than the output. Therefore, one may argue that, overall, total complication does not increase in those examples, merely changes over from being purely conceptual to being partly visual. This change-over is very important and very interesting, but fractal geometry gives us something very different.
What is the special feature that makes fractal geometry perform in such unusual manner? The answer is very simple; the algorithm involves 'loops'. That is, the basic instructions are simple, and their effects can be followed easily. But let these simple instructions be followed repeatedly. Unless one deals with the simplest old fractals (Cantor set or Sierpinski gasket), the process of iteration effectively builds up an increasingly complicated transform, whose effects the mind can follow less and less easily. Eventually, one reaches something that is 'qualitatively' different from the original building block. One can say that the situation is a fulfilment of what is general is nothing but a dream: the hope of describing and explaining 'chaotic' nature as the cumulation of many simple steps.
'Mathematics is a language.' (Josiah Willard Gibbs (speaking at a Yale faculty meeting ... on elective course requirements).)
'Philosophy is written in this vast book–I mean the Universe–which stands forever open to our gaze, but cannot be read until we have learnt the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it; without which one wanders in vain through a dark labyrinth.' (Galileo Galilei: Il Saggiatore (The Assayer) 1623).
'The language of mathematics reveals itself unreasonably effective in the natural sciences ..., a wonderful gift which we neither understand nor deserve. We should be grateful for it and hope that it will remain valid in future research and that it will extend, for better or for worse, to our pleasure even though perhaps also to our bafflement, to wide branches of learning.' (Eugene Wigner 1960).
Inspired by the above quotes, the best is to call fractal geometry a new geometric language, which is geared towards the study of diverse aspects of diverse objects, either mathematical or natural, that are not smooth, but rough and fragmented to the same degree at all scales. Its history is interesting and curious. As is clearly indicated by such terms as 'Cantor set', 'Peano curve', 'Sierpinski gasket', etc. ..., several fractal 'characters' date to 1875–1925. They count among the least complex (hence least beautiful), and they have seen previous uses in other languages that have nothing to do with fractal geometry.
However, as a language addressed to its new goals, fractal geometry was born with Mandelbrot (1975), the first edition of our book Les objets fractals.
There is a profound historical irony in the fact that these old 'characters' of the new geometry had been among the 'monsters' to which we have referred earlier. The general monster is not scaling, and the fact that some monsters are scaling had not been singled out, because it was viewed as a 'special' property, therefore one that is not very 'interesting'. In the mathematical culture of the century that ran from 1875 to 1975, special properties did not warrant investigation.
Clearly, the study of order in geometric chaos could not arise as a specialized object of study, and a term to denote it did not become indispensable, until we had performed two tasks, (i) We saw that diverse rough patterns of nature – noise and turbulence and diverse geographical features – are geometrically scaling. Eventually we, and now many others, have identified geometric scaling in many other areas of nature, and then explored its consequences, (ii) We saw that the proper tool to tackle scaling in nature is suggested by some of the old 'monsters'. The old monsters themselves are not realistic models, but the construction of new fractals was immediately spurred by the new need, and more accurate models soon became available.
A language can be appreciated in diverse ways. For fractal geometry, the reasons can be sorted into five categories, artistic, mathematical, 'historical', practical and scientific. Let us discuss them in turn.
We use the term 'geometry' in a very archaic sense, as involving concrete actual images. Lagrange and Laplace once boasted of the absence of any pictures in their works, and their lead was eventually followed almost universally. Fractal geometry is a reaction against the tide, and a first reason to appreciate fractal geometry, because the 'characters' it adds to the 'alphabet' Galileo had inherited from Euclid, often happen to be intrinsically attractive. Many have promptly been accepted as works of a new form of art. Some are 'representational', in fact are surprisingly realistic 'forgeries' of mountains, clouds or trees, while others are totally unreal and abstract. Yet all strike almost everyone in forceful, almost sensual, fashion. The artist, the child and the 'man in the street' never seem to have seen enough, and they had never expected to receive anything of this sort from mathematics. Neither had the mathematician expected his field to interact with art in this way.
In any event, fractal geometry shows that there is an unexpected parallel to the above classic quote from Wigner. We have been fortunate to witness the revelation of the "'unreasonable' and 'undeserved' effectiveness of mathematics as a source of enjoyable form."

I loved loved loved this book.It is a great story I couldnt put it down.i read this book in 3 days.i had to make myself put it down.i think it is a must have book.You will love it.
Terrible plot, uninteresting characters. Skip it.
Really enjoyed all three books in this series. Would like to see more along this story line. Sandra Hill is one of my favorite authors.
A great lite and fun read in the hallmark style of Sandra Hill.
I really liked this book. I thought it was funny. While not totally realistic, I read a lot of books to escape reality so it didn t really bother me. I totally recommend this book to my friends and family looking for a light read.
I read this book to its end only to see how bad it would get, and it got pretty bad. Sandra Hill started out well with sharp writing, wonderful banter between the heroine Selene and her agent Georgia, and absolutely spectacular descriptions of New Orleans and the French Quarter. To my delight, she even gave a great, subtle history lesson regarding the Quadroon Balls that took place in the mid-1800's. The whole package falls apart once Selene, the modern-day supermodel, goes back to 1845. From there on, Selene becomes increasingly unlikeable. Time travel is far-fetched to begin with, even for the genre of romance, but Hill's attempts at humor regarding Selene's modern-belle-out-of-time situations fall embarrassingly flat. Her characterizations of the slaves are insulting caricatures. But the editor of the book should have caught that. The title of the book seems to be an homage to Gone With The Wind, as is the cover photo. Any similarities to GWTW stop there, as Selene is no Scarlett (although she is every bit as unlikeable as Scarlett is) and the story takes place in Louisiana, not Georgia. James Baptiste, the hero, was hot, and his physical attraction to Selene is believable. His falling in love with Selene comes across as forced and unpleasant to read. Sandra Hill could have done so much better with this book, given her great start.

"Erlich is not afraid of asking hard questions... he also believes the term "terrorist" is a dangerous distortion of reality that can turn a political conflict into a forever war."
—Conn Hallinan, Review: Talking With Terrorists, Foreign Policy in Focus, November 11, 2010
"One of the most courageous journalists I know."
—Amiri Baraka (aka LeRoi Jones), Poet, Playwright, and Political Activist
Since I was present at two of these conversations with terrorists, I feel fully qualified to tell you that book you're holding is true, accurate, thoughtful and eminently readable. I would expect no less of a man who would walk up to Khalil Meschal, the head of the military wing of Hamas at a Syrian embassy reception and ask for an interview. He got it. I traveled with Reese from the Souks of Damascus to the killing grounds of Al Sukariya, near Iraq where we investigated a secret US raid together. It was like traveling with a pit-bull who is trailing a truck of raw meat. Reese locks on to an objective and will not be deterred until he has unpacked and deconstructed it from at least seven angles. (Which are two more than I can conceive of.)
—Peter Coyote, Actor and Author of Sleeping Where I Fall
Reese Erlich, without romanticizing or apologizing for terrorism, gives us a perspective on the Middle East that might balance the propaganda we are daily fed by apologists for the violence of the American Empire and its wars.
—Rabbi Michael Lerner, Editor, Tikkun Magazine, and Chair, Network of Spiritual Progressives
"As usual, Reese Erlich is right on target."
—James Abourezk, Former U.S. Senator, South Dakota
"This book cuts through the fog of 'war on terror,' providing readers with a searchlight to see beyond propaganda. The resulting clarity will transform views of what is—and what is possible."
—Norman Solomon, Author of War Made Easy and Made Love, Got War
"What is terror? A word. What is in that word, 'terror'? Reese Erlich introduces us to people whose names are associated with that word. He gives them the chance to speak. When we listen, we find ourselves provoked with unexpected insights and challenges to our stereotypes."
—Stephen Kinzer
"In an era when the Bush Administration has defined the world as good VS. evil, it's great to read a book that reminds you things aren't all black and white, but rather shades of grey. Conversations shows you that the term 'terrorist' is subjective and that one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist."
—Maz Jobrani, Comedian/Actor/American Citizen

Road to recovery
A Republican mantra — most recently recited by Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels in his response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday — holds that Obama "borrowed and blew" millions of dollars for failed bailouts and economic stimulus efforts.
Tell that to the folks at GM.
Two years after emerging from a government-backed bankruptcy that prevented the company's collapse, the Detroit-based automaker last week reported selling 9.03 million vehicles worldwide in 2011, making it No. 1 in global vehicle sales, according to Bloomberg News.
Those GM sales generated approximately $8.1 million in profits, according to Bloomberg. That contrasts to the $ 38.7 million General Motors Corp. lost in 2007, an unsustainable business model that spurred the federal government to intervene in an effort to prevent the collapse of one of America's most significant manufacturing sectors.
The GM success story — and a similar saga at Chrysler — illustrates how government should react to a key national business in crisis. It also provides a shining example of how government, business and labor leaders can work together to save an industry.
Rather than letting the market take its course, as advocated by anti-government adherents to the cult of capitalism, by allowing two of the " Big Three" carmakers to fail — in the process driving hundreds of thousands of American workers from assembly lines to unemployment lines — the federal government intervened.
After GM filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2009, federal officials buttressed the company financially through its reorganization process, minimizing job loss while firmly forcing management to adopt a viable 21st century business model.
Meanwhile, unions made concessions on wages and benefits, as well as working conditions that allowed the company to modernize and realign its focus to emphasize quality control and customer service.
GM now employs 202,000 workers, according to its website. The company continues to add workers.
It can do so because the Obama administration intervened, taking swift and appropriate action to prevent a corporate suicide that would have closed plants, set back the U.S. manufacturing base even further and caused widespread pain for middle class workers and their families.
Republican presidential candidates and political rhetoricians label it a bailout, but the Obama administration's reaction to the 2009 U.S. auto industry crisis protected a delicate and precious commodity: jobs.
Defunct companies don't create jobs.
The $23.6 billion that Obama "blew" on the auto industry "bailout" equates to what the U.S. spends in two months on combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. With that context, a "bailout" that benefits 202,000 American workers seems to be an eminently worthwhile investment.
The GM lesson is that, while government might not be able to create private sector jobs, it certainly can save them. As in most things, thoughtful collaboration yields the best results.
Conversely, blind faith in the private sector won't produce what this country needs most — jobs — and, in fact, could cost us jobs in the name of protecting investors.

Wow . . . TTWO and ERTS sure left ATVI in the dust lately. ATVI was treading water (very successfully) for the past year but that is not very exciting.

Katie Helser's Profile
Hi, my name is Katie. I'm a lot of different things to many different people, and I spend my time doing many different things, all while I strive to be an artist.
I'm a wife to an incredible man who is as energetic about life as he his about exploring it. I'm a mother to wonderfully imaginative and spirited children. I am also the co-owner of Ginger Roots Farm where my husband and I grow produce and flowers. We farm with two gigantic Brabant work horses, raise dairy goats and chickens and have many other little animals that fill our days. I love to cook almost as much as I love to eat. I prefer being outdoors rather than inside, I adore plants, and I'm pretty much obsessed with botanical illustration. I'm also a member of the American Botanical Artist Association, check out the link to see all the amazing art that is being produced by these artists!…

Homeland Security Undersecretary of Management Rafael Borras' last day at the department will be Feb. 7.
In an internal DHS email dated Feb. 4 obtained by FCW, DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson said Borras will depart Friday, capping four years of service in various leadership positions. Deputy Undersecretary Chris Cummiskey will serve as acting undersecretary for management beginning Feb.10, Johnson said.
Government and industry sources contacted by FCW the week of Jan. 27 said Borras would step down the week of Feb. 3 to pursue interests in the private sector.
"I want to personally thank Rafael for his incredible service to the Department. He has provided valuable leadership to DHS as both the Under Secretary for Management and as Acting Deputy Secretary," said Johnson's department-wide email.

Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University. I received my Ph.D. from Cornell University in 2014, and I was a post-doctoral fellow in the Political Institutions and Public Choice Program (PIPC) at Duke University last year.
My research interests include American politics, political parties, U.S. Congress, and gender and politics. I am currently working on a book manuscript that examines three broad questions in American politics: First, why does partisan polarization persist in Congress? Second, why do some individuals run for office and others do not? And third, why has the percentage of Democratic women in Congress increased dramatically since the 1980s while the number of Republican women has barely grown?
My research has been published in the Journal of Politics and Legislative Studies Quarterly. I have received financial support from the National Science Foundation, the American Association of University Women, and the Dirksen Congressional Center. This year I received the E.E. Schattschneider Award for the best dissertation in American politics.

Product Description
Product Description
Pink Floyd 2011 Remasters
Commissioned as the soundtrack for Barbet Schroeder's 1972 film The Valley, Obscured By Clouds actually holds up rather well on its own terms. The title track is a trippy, cinematic instrumental that features some searing guitar work from David Gilmour, but full-fledged songs like "Free Four" (which sounds like a morbid inversion of Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky"), and the folksy "Wot's...Uh the Deal" are the real highlights of the set. Essentially a transitional work, Obscured By Clouds has long been dwarfed by Dark Side of the Moon, the album which came immediately after it. In fact, the funky "Childhood's End" and the ethereal "Burning Bridges" could well be dry runs for the Dark Side tracks "Time" and "Breathe," respectively. In all, it's a priceless snapshot of a band on the verge of immortality. --Dan EpsteinSee all Product Description

1.Obscured By Clouds- instrumental but very good
2.When You're In - instrumental, and a good one again
3. Burning Bridges - sounds like something from dark side of the moon, good song
4. The Gold It's In The... - If you want a faster song by pink floyd this is the one. My 2nd fav song on on album
5. Wots...Uh The Deal - MY favorite song ,the lyrics to this are so amazing,this track is some of Pink Floyds best work.
6. Mudmen -instrumental, very cool
7. Childhood's End - this is another track thats sounds like it's from dark side of the moon.
8. Free Four - this is 3rd favorite song, really good song, good lyrics
9. Stay - a good song
10. Absolutely Curtains - this song i dont care for much but the other tracks make out for it
Must buy
5 stars.
"Obscured by Clouds" in particular is a fine collection of songs, including "Burning Bridges", "Childhood's End", Waters' "Free Four", a happy tune about growing old and decrepit, and Wright's "Stay", a pretty song about a one-night stand.
While not one of their standout albums, "Obscured by Clouds is definitely worth a listen. It's another illustration that Pink was a talented enough band to lose a great songwriter and musician like Syd Barrett and still make some of the finest music around.

Following a prologue set in war-torn former Yugoslavia, the film follows several different Christmas celebrations in the small Norwegian town of Skogli. Paul is a thirty-three-year-old laborer who marches into his doctor's office demanding a prescription, then proceeds to lay bare all his woes. The doctor is beleaguered by his own marital and financial difficulties (he's left his upset wife to work emergency calls on Christmas Eve). There's also an elderly man preparing an esoteric ritual, a vagrant who runs into an old flame, a middle-aged couple in the throes of passion, a boy hopelessly in love with his Muslim neighbor and a young émigré couple whose car breaks down as the woman goes into labor.

About Galactic
The New Orleans-based jazz-funk ensemble Galactic formed in 1994; originally an eight-piece, the group soon pared down to an instrumental sextet comprised of guitarist Jeff Raines, organist Rich Vogel, bassist Robert Mercurio, saxophonists Ben Ellman and Jason Mingledorff, and drummer Stanton Moore. Later adding Crescent City music scene vet Theryl deClouet on vocals, Galactic built a fervent local following on the strength of a relentless live schedule that included opening slots for group heroes including the Meters, Maceo Parker, and Medeski, Martin & Wood. In 1996 Galactic issued their debut LP, Coolin' Off; upon signing to major-label Capricorn, they re-released the album two years later, soon followed by the all-new Crazyhorse Mongoose (after which Mingledorff left). Since then, they have released a slew of albums including Late for the Future in 2000, Ruckus in 2003, and From the Corner to the Block in 2007. The band itself released a pair of live albums of its sets at Jazz Fest in 2008 and 2009.
In 2010, they issued their most ambitious project to date with Ya-Ka-May, a wholesale New Orleans recording featuring guest appearances by everyone from Irma Thomas and Big Chief Bo Dollis to the Rebirth Brass Band and Walter "Wolfman" Washington. Galactic decided to explore the various connections between New Orleans' annual Mardi Gras and the nearly nationwide Carnivale of Brazil. Carnivale Electricos did exactly that. Enlisting help from Cyril and Ivan Neville, rappers Mystikal and Mannie Fresh, Mardi Gras Indian Big Chief Juan Pardo, the KIPP Renaissance High School Marching Band, and Al "Carnival Time" Johnson. Galactic stretched itself toward Brazil's native samba by covering Carlinhos Brown's "Malagenha." They composed two tunes that bridged the continents: "Guero Bounce," fusing NOLA bounce and Brazilian rhythms, and "Julou," titled for the band's own outsider Mardis Gras parade. They also include the traditional Carnivale number "O Côco da Galinha" with the help of samba poet Moyseis Marques on vocals. Carnivale Electricos was issued on Mardis Gras Day in 2012; it was their last recording for Anti.
Over the next couple of years, the band toured and its members either pursued solo projects or collaborated, both in the studio or on-stage, with other musicians In May of 2015, Galactic announced a label deal with Provogue and a new album entitled Into the Deep. Produced by Ellman and Mercurio, the set featured guest appearances by a range of vocalists including Macy Gray, Mavis Staples, and Maggie Koerner. "Right On," with soul singer Charm Taylor, and the title cut featuring Gray, were both pre-released in June; the album followed in late July. ~ Jason Ankeny & Thom Jurek, Rovi

Chile's Peso Gains as Local Economic Growth Data Spurs Demand
Chile's peso rose for a fifth consecutive day as better-than-forecast economic data spur demand for the Andean nation's currency.
The peso strengthened 0.3 percent to 474.98 per dollar.
The gain is "tied to inflows by investors seeking opportunities in local fixed income," Sergio Tricio, head of research at ForexChile, said in a phone interview from Santiago.
International investors in the Chilean peso forwards market lowered their bets on the dollar beating the peso to $7.7 billion on Aug. 7 from $7.8 billion a day earlier.
Data published in the past 11 days showed Chile's economy is growing faster than forecast with near record-low unemployment, salaries rising more than twice as fast as prices and an 8.9 percent annual increase in retail sales.
The peso is the best performing of the Latin American currencies tracked by Bloomberg this year and has appreciated 5.5 percent this quarter even as the price of copper, which makes up more than half of Chile's exports, has fallen.
