The Learning Effect of HRTF based 3-D Sound Perception with an Horizontally Arranged 8-Loudspeaker System
This thesis argues about the learning effects on the localization of HRTF based 3-D sound using 8 channel loudspeakers system which creates virtual sound images. This system can realize sound with elevation by 8 channel loudspeakers arranged on the horizontal plane and convolving HRTF, not use high or low mounted loudspeakers. The position of the sound image that the system creates is difficult to perceived, because such as HRTF based sound are unfamiliar. However, after several times of learning process, almost listeners can perceive the position of sound images better. This thesis shows this learning effect for HRTF based 3-D sound system.

My cousin, Ryan, was diagnosed with Autism five years ago. His diagnosis sparked an immediate sense of confusion over what the word "Autism" actually meant, and what his future would mean because of it. Although at first I was too young to understand the meaning behind the word, I now know what Autism has brought to my life. Ryan has showed me an outlook on the world that nobody ever has before, and the fact that he is not even ten years old makes the journey even more incredible.

Goat's Rue
In this Article
How does Goat's Rue work?Goat's rue contains a chemical that may lower blood sugar in a test tube. But it is unclear if goat's rue has this effect when taken by people.
Are there safety concerns?There isn't enough information to know whether goat's rue is safe. No harmful effects have been reported in humans, but fatal poisoning has occurred in grazing animals that ate large quantities of goat's rue.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: There is not enough reliable information about the safety of taking goat's rue if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
Bleeding conditions: Goat's rue might slow blood clotting and increase the risk of bleeding. In theory, goat's rue might make bleeding disorders worse.
Diabetes: Goat's rue might lower blood sugar levels in some people. Watch for signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and monitor your blood sugar carefully if you have diabetes and use goat's rue.
Surgery: Goat's rue might affect blood sugar levels. There is concern that it might interfere with blood sugar control during and after surgery. Stop using goat's rue at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.

Down provides a luxuriously soft pillow that will cradle your head in a cloud of comfort. Not all down pillows are the same, however, and your personal sleeping habits, combined with the pillow's construction, are important factors to consider when choosing a down pillow. By understanding some of the industry standards, you can compare down pillow attributes and select the best pillow for your sleep needs. Look below to learn how to choose a down pillow.
Check the "fill power". Look for the pillow's fill power when shopping. Down comes in fine clusters of tiny feathers, and higher fill numbers indicate a higher quality down pillow. A fill number of 600 indicates a standard quality pillow, while a fill number of 800 is reserved for high quality down.
Find the right shell. Check the pillow shell for clues as to how long your pillow will last. Not only will tiny down clusters work their way out of a shell with a loose fabric weave, skin oils and dust can work their way into the pillow, damaging the down inside. A thread count of 300 or higher offers a smooth and durable shell. In addition, 100-percent cotton fabric offers comfort and durability.
Pillows for stomach sleepers. If you are a stomach sleeper, look for a soft pillow. A soft pillow will lightly support your head, but it won't strain your neck by lifting your head too high.
Pillows for back sleepers. If you prefer sleeping on your back, choose a down pillow with medium softness. While this softness might be too lofty for stomach sleepers, it offers a little more head and neck support when lying on your back.
Pillows for side sleepers. If you sleep on your side, consider a firm down pillow. A firm pillow will offer adequate support for your neck and head. Although this is the general guideline, if you have narrow shoulders, a pillow of medium softness may be sufficient. The amount of distance between your bottom shoulder, as you lie on your side, and your neck will determine your pillow support needs.
Think about your budget. If cost is a concern, select a blend of down and feathers. Feathers are larger than down clusters and they are readily available, reducing the cost of such pillows. To prevent feather quills from poking through the shell of the pillow, look for a feather core surrounded by down. The core provides support and loft, but the feathers stay in the center of the pillow and only the down clusters are in contact with the exterior shell.

HOUSTON (November 19, 2013) The U.S. Justice Department said Tuesday it has reached a $4.2 million settlement with a Houston produce distributor accused of price-gouging the military for fresh fruit and vegetables.
A Justice Department statement Tuesday announced the settlement with FreshPoint Inc., from which the Defense Department had purchased produce under 15 separate contracts.
The agreement settles allegations that from Dec. 17, 2007, through Sept. 11, 2009, FreshPoint overcharged the government on hundreds of sales of fresh fruit and vegetables.
The Justice Department accused the company of inflating prices improperly to reflect FreshPoint's view of the prevailing market price of the goods at the time of sale.
The government alleged that violated FreshPoint's contracts with the government that required FreshPoint to provide the produce at cost, plus a preset markup for profit.

Waynesville's downtown was buzzing Saturday during Summer Jam 2012. The annual event featured free music on an outdoor stage, a vintage car show, games and special events for children and plenty of food and merchandise for purchase.Hundreds of people braved the hot temperatures to enjoy the event, including the Duran family.Both 3-year-old Donovan and his 6-year-old sister Kaydance were enjoying pony rides as their parents watched."It's good just to get out of the house, and get out and walk around," their mother, Nean Duran said. The annual event also gives military families a chance to explore the local community and learn more about the area around Fort Leonard Wood.Dozens of booths surrounded the courthouse where visitors could learn about everything from local politicians running for elected office to the wines made at the St. James Winery. A number of businesses and restaurants also set up booths at Summer Jam including Edith and Hurst Tipeni, who were serving Samoan barbeque with Hutch Saelua."It's my secret recipe," Edith admitted with a laugh, as Saelua tended to marinated chicken. She said the group hopes to establish a local restaurant sometime in the future and Summer Jam gave them an opportunity to present their cuisine to the community.One of the largest draws at the annual event was the outdoor stage, where bands and solo acts performed until the end of the event, playing everything from country to greatest hits for the assembled crowd.

I'm working on a website: http://126.96.36.199/~theitali/
My client wants me to remove the "Recent Posts" on the home page (currently I'm using SmoothSlider for this) and she wants - (this is her description) "Below the first few lines of text on the home page, I want one large box with the most current recent post, including photo; then below that I want the previous 4 or 5 most recent posts each with a small photo - all should have a link to the actual post page."
I'm at a loss as to how to accomplish this. I assume this would be a plug in of some sort, but I can't seem to find one that does this exactly. Would it have to be two different plug ins? Is that possible?
Does anyone have any ideas that could accomplish this - or something close?

When asked if I fancied a trip to Southwold I didn't have to do a lot of thinking. A chance to visit a lovely coastal town, get some fresh, sea air in my lungs, escape the madness of the festive season AND visit the fantastic Adnams distillery to taste two brand new English whiskies?!
Um, yes. I think I can probably manage that, at a push. So off I went to Waveney to meet up with Jonathan Adnams, Chairman and fourth-generation brewer, and Head Distiller John McCarthy for a bit of a shimmy around the distillery and to taste two new, unique whiskies prior to their release.
The first ever Adnams whiskies. Ever.

Right then chaps, this week's #MasterofCocktails recipe is The Improved (New) Holland Gin Cocktail. Despite what you may be thinking, this is one that whisky fans will really enjoy. We're using some top notch American ingredients here too, including the New York Distilling Company's fantastic Chief Gowanus New-Netherland Gin as well as some Cask-Aged Whisky Bitters.
Brooklyn, you see, used to be a Dutch colony. Yep. And this gin we're using is a Holland gin (i.e. a genever), and it was made to a 19 century American recipe with the help of David Wondrich, using the New York Distilling Company's unaged, double-distilled rye whiskey. Moreover, it's bloody fantastic.

This week on #MasterofCocktails we made the Martinez – or rather, the more modern, gin-heavy version of the Martinez. We will, however, do the old-school, original version another time, as it's utterly delicious and a completely different drink.
As ever, you could mix-along by following the hashtag above on Twitter on Sunday from 6pm, and we've included the pics you posted below along with the recipe in full.
At the bottom you'll also find the ingredients we'll be using next week, but without further ado, let's get started!

Back in 2012 Professor Cornelius Ampleforth released his own unique version of the classic that is Sloe Gin, and he saw that it was good. Very good. So good, in fact, that everybody bought some... and then they bought some more for good measure. Then there wasn't any left…. until now!
Introducing: Professor Cornelius Ampleforth's Sloe Gin 2013! *cue rapturous, hearty applause*
One of the problems the Professor faced last year was securing sufficient quantities of high quality Sloe Berries in order to keep up with demand. (After all, almost half a pound of Sloes are used in the production of each and every bottle!) Excitingly though, he now seems to have a handle on it now.

Some said that Galileo Galilei was crazy when he claimed to have evidence of a heliocentric solar system.
Some even said that Robert Matthew Van Winkle had lost his marbles when he decided to try his hand at being a white rapper.
These days we of course know that the Earth revolves around the Sun and that Vanilla Ice's To the Extreme became the fastest selling hip-hop album of all time, but it still takes a brave soul to swim against the tide like some kind of beautiful maverick.

It's not often I manage to crowbar distillery visits into trips back to my hometown, near Washington, DC. Last December though, I was invited to go and check out Smooth Ambler Distillery in Maxwelton, WV, only about 4 hours' drive away.
I put the offer out to a group of friends I've known for the better part of 15+ years: Would you like to go down to one of the finest distilleries in the country and try all of their delicious whiskey and gin?

I'm designing the database schema for a time tracking application and I need a little piece of advice. The application must permit the user to enter for each day of the week the amount of time he worked for a specific project. What would be, in your opinion, the best way to store these values?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Have a look at the Timesheet model on databaseanswers.org. This covers it nicely
Simply, a table with
The first 3 columns are PK.
Now, do you want to:
In our time tracking application, we save the start and end times of the work, too. We add a new row in the database for every single task on the specific day and calculate the sum before displaying it. Consider if this information will be useful in the future, it would be very hard to integrate that later. It's not too complicated to group the rows of a day.
I would use a join table that connects user to a project and also stores the additional data
The time is here in minutes, but may also be in seconds (although that might be over-engineered).
Of course, your keys for user and project might be different, but I think you get what I mean.
I created a time tracking application before that allows the administrator only to update the times. You do not want any single user being able to edit their hours since cheating might be a problem. If someone forgets to clock in, the admin can simply edit the hours. If the user has a client, however, and the hours are not their own, they should be able to edit the hours for the client but not themselves as an employee.
I had a user table with the name, email address, last action, etc. of the user and a

Want a delicious new holiday tradition? Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson shares two unique and easy-to-make cookie recipes that the entire family will enjoy making — and eating:
For the cookies
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1-2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) soft butter
- 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, beaten with 1/4 cup runny honey
For the icing and trimming
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons meringue powder
- Edible gold or silver sprinkles
- Florists' ribbon for hanging
Baking Directions:
Combine the flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves and pepper in a food processor and, with the motor on, add the butter and sugar, then, slowly, the beaten eggs and honey, through the feed tube, though don't use all of this liquid if the pastry has come together before it's used up.Form two fat discs and put one, covered in plastic wrap or in a resealable bag, in the refrigerator while you get started on the other.Preheat the oven to 350 F and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Then dust a work surface with flour, roll out the disc, also floured, to about ¼ inch, and cut out your Christmas decoration with cutters of your choice, which could include fir-tree shapes, angels, stars, snowflakes, and so on.Re-roll and cut out some more, setting aside the dough scraps from this first disc, well covered, while you get on with rolling out the second. When you've got both sets of leftover clumps of dough, roll out and cut out again, and keep doing so till all the dough's used up.Now take a small piping nozzle and use the pointy end to cut out a hole just below the top of each cookie (through which ribbon can later be threaded).Arrange the pastry shapes on the lined cookie sheets and bake for about 20 minutes: it's hard to see when they're baked, but you can feel; if the underside is no longer doughy, they're ready. Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool.Mix together the confectioners' sugar with the meringue powder and 3 tablespoons water, beating it until it's thick enough to be able to cover the cookies with a just-dripping blanket of white. Carefully ice the cold decorations, using a teaspoon (the tip for dripping, the back for smoothing), and scatter sparkles or sprinkles as you like. When the icing is set, thread ribbon through the holes and hang on you tree.
- 2 1/4 sticks (18 tablespoons) soft butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
For the festive topping
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 cup boiling water, from a kettle
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Christmas sprinkles
Baking Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325 F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.Cream the butter and sugar in a bowl and, when you have a light, soft whipped mixture, beat in the 1/3 cup cocoa powder (sifting if it is lumpy) and, when that's mixed in, beat in the flour with the baking soda and baking powder. Or just put everything in the processor and blitz, if you prefer.This mixture is very soft and sticky and I find it easiest to form the cookies wearing my disposable vinyl gloves, so pinch off pieces about 1 tablespoon in size, roll them into balls, then slightly flatten into fat discs as you place them, well spaced, on your cookies sheet; you should get about 12 on at a time.Bake each batch for 15 minutes; even though the cookies won't feel as if they've had enough time, they will continue to cook as they cool. They will look slightly cracked on top, and it's this cosy, homespun look I love.Remove the cookies sheet to a cold surface and let it sit for 15 minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire rack, with a sheet of newspaper under it (to catch drips while topping them).To make the topping, put the cocoa powder, confectioners' sugar, water and vanilla extract into a small saucepan and whisk over a low heat until everything's smoothly combined. Take off the heat for 10 minutes.When the cookies are cool, drizzle each one with a tablespoonful of chocolate glaze — to glue the sprinkles on in a minute — using the back of the spoon to help spread the mixture, though an uneven dribbly look is part of their charm. After you've iced 6 cookies, scatter with some of the Christmas sprinkles, and continue thus until all the cookies are topped. If you ice them all before sprinkling, you will find the cocoa "glue" has dried and the sprinkles won't stick on.

Yard sale to benefit Haiti relief efforts
Published: Friday, March 5, 2010 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 2, 2010 at 8:56 a.m.
If you would like a way to turn your items sitting in a corner into a way to help someone in need, a yard sale to raise money for Haiti set for this weekend may be the solution.
The event to raise money for disaster relief is scheduled from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 6 at the Bayou Black Recreation Center, 3688 Southdown Mandalay Road, Houma.
All profits go to a nationally known, nonprofit response agency to help people affected by the earthquake in Haiti.
"We got together as a group of friends and started talking about how terrible the devastation was in Haiti after the earthquake," said Jennifer Robinson, one of the yard sale's organizers. "Our hearts really went out to the people. We started talking about ways to raise money to help them, and at first, we thought about sending care packages, but we quickly found out that wouldn't be feasible. We did a little investigating and found out the best thing would be a monetary contribution."
She said the idea of a yard sale originated with the group because of the event's success rate.
"Originally, there were about six or seven of us, some people I work with and others from churches," Robinson said. "Since we started, we have clothing that has been donated and electronics. We are looking for some big-ticket items."
Robinson and her family are no strangers to seeing disaster's first-hand.
She said they moved to the area a week after hurricanes Gustav and Ike in 2008.
"After seeing the devastation hurricanes can cause, and knowing the people in this area have been recipients of the good works of people outside of this area, we felt that we have been so blessed that we really felt we needed to help these people in Haiti," Robinson said.
One of the sale's biggest donations has come from Schriever Baptist Church.
"We have an annual yard sale to help us raise funds for our group," said Marta Walker, the church's youth minister. "We had some items we received a little bit early for the sale and our staff decided to donate the items to this cause because it is such an important project, and the people in Haiti are in need right now."
The group of Houma women sponsoring the yard sale is accepting monetary donations and gently-used goods to be sold. Organizers said any and all help is welcome. Organizers said they are available to pick up donations if necessary.

You can't do that, Dan. If you were straight, maybe, but you remember the hell of trying to coordinate a social outing for a gaggle of fags in pre-cell phone days. No one knew where anyone was, you had to look in three different bars to finally gather up your friends, and then go back to the last one to find that one friend who wandered off when the cute boy gave him a wink and walked to the bathroom, the whole mess.
And text messages! How could you go without text messages? You get to talk shit about someone in the room with your friends right in front of them and still come across as polite.
Also in the DYK category: when your cell rings, you are under no obligation to answer it.
I know people that get so annoyed when they get a call, and I think, "why waste energy getting annoyed?"
Go with it. No phone. Very freeing. I tell people "if I wanted to talk to you, asshole, I'd be sitting on your chest punching you in the face." They usually look alarmed and find another seat on the bus.
Dear Dan,
This is work. Give us a call sometime. We can't get a hold of you on your phone, and we keep getting reimbursement receipts from hotel bars in hawaii for vanilla mai thai's. Sounds like something you would order. Is this you?
I have no desire to talk to anyone who would be calling me...
The iPhone sounds perfect to me. Lots of timewaster features for when I'm waiting for the bus and crappy phone reception so I have an excuse never to pick up. Heaven.
@5 Exactly.
Again with the luddite anti-cellphone stuff from Fnarf. Have you ever had a cellphone, Fnarf? You can't really say it's "freeing" to not have one unless you've actually, ya know, had one.
I'm not trying to be a dick -- I've met you and you're quite charming -- but cellphones are a yardstick of personal technology, and way useful at 2:AM walking home when that creepy dude is a half block back and follows you around 3 corners. True.
@ Savage: Dude, phones have an off button. You can use it. That excuse is bullshit, sorry.
I think it's freeing to have a cell phone, rather than the other way around. I know I can go out, run errands, take the dog for a long walk, or whatever, and if my friends are getting together for a last minute dinner or drink or something, then I won't miss it. I make use of the 'ignore' button all the time, so I have never felt the urge to get rid of my phone so no one can "find me".
I do have a very fond pre-cell phones memory, though, of a two-car road trip in college. We used walkie-talkies to communicate between cars when we were on the highway (hailing the other car out the window when we wanted to talk). How awesome is that?
Eat shit, Hickey. At least I can afford a cellphone if I wanted one. Keep your dumbfuck comments to yourself, you homeless retard.
As an experiment, I spent a couple of months leaving my cell phone at home. I'd check my calls when I got home (I don't have a landline), and I'd bring my phone with me if I knew I'd need it for a specific call, but if I did, I'd turn it off after the call was made.
Summary of the result? I loved it. My friends hated it.
It was inconvenient/problematic a few times--having trouble finding people in public, or showing up somewhere only to find myself locked out, et cetera--but all in all, I found that my life became much more relaxing. On the other hand, my friends wanted to murder me fairly consistently, because I was only available on my terms and times, not theirs.
On the other-other hand, though: I'd never have a child and not have a cell phone, on and with me, at all times. I'm a few years away from kids, but when I have them, I want to be reachable--or able to call help--any time necessary.
Just thought I'd share, as somebody who's been doing it.
Stop calling them cell phones and start calling them what they are: digital leashes.
Some people like being on a leash. I personally don't. Though I treat dogs very well, I don't want to be on a leash.
Another reader pointed out that when you make a point of turning off the phone, leaving it home, etc. then its on _your_ terms, and thats not what the leash is about.
Whoa, that wasn't the *real* Fnarf was it? Who keeps their comments to themselves on Slog? That's just goofy.
Dan, you just don't get the iPhone experience.
You need to buy a hot pink slip cover for it, for one thing.
And wear it out and proud!
and I agree with Fnarf @3 - Free Your Mind! Ditch Your Leash!
I just saw the guided video tour of this phone. I am a nortorious late-adopter and now I want this phone.
I hate my current phone. hate it. This thing might actually make me enjoy calling people.
The days I accidentally leave my phone at home are the best days of my life.
I had my first cell phone, a RAZR, for 2 months earlier this year. I found that people called me for no reason, and got frustrated with me for not doing the same. I ditched the phone and haven't looked back. Good riddance.
Will the real Fnarf please stand up?
@11, @17 - exactly. I agree, when you have a small kid, a cell phone is (sadly) necessary, but the rest of the time just ditch the thing.
I'm going up to BC for a week (Kootenays) and looking forward to having no way to contact me.
The Fnarf in 10 who is apparently really "Dickface McAsshat", is not me.
I don't remember meeting you, Matt (but then, I don't remember what I had for lunch not an hour ago), but I would never call you a "homeless retard", although I might now, just for the fun of it.
In answer to your question, yes, I have a cell phone. I used it today, briefly; that makes twice in the past six months. It's probably been charged up less than a fourth of that time, and I usually don't even know where it is. When I carry it around I feel like a giant prong. When it rings, I don't recognize the sound or where it's coming from. If I wanted to hear from you, I'd be near a phone. I hate phones. Why would I want to have one with me all the time?
I grew up without cell phones, come to think of it, we didnt even have a regular phone growing up, and I grew up in a big city. I dont own a cell phone. My kids have never been in any situation that I could not solve because I lack a cell phone. When one comes up maybe I will get one. There are parents who give their 9 year olds cell phones. Zombied out kids texting away is the result.
did you know that when you don't have a cell phone, you can't panic and text message me about the pride guide whenever you want? i think i like you not having a cell phone, as well.

Are we related?? My cell lives in the car, so, if the car breaks down, I can call for help. (Yeah, I called from a friend's driveway once to let him know I was there.) Twice in six months sounds about perfect.
I'm sure I could be classified as a cell-phone-phobe. I absolutely despise seeing folks walk down the street or through stores chatting away. Do people really hate being alone with themselves so fucking much??
I might carry the damn thing when walking the dogs, but I never use it. Walk-time is doggie-time. They deserve my undivided attention from time to time. Burns me up to see my neighbor with his phone to his ear every time he walks his dog. Poor dog never gets a word from him. (And he wonders why the dog pulls constantly!) Other than the phone, the guy is really hot, though...
I've never had a cellphone, but I know for a fact that I hate hanging around people who do. Cells tend to ring exactly when a conversation is about ti take an interesting turn. But the worse remains girlfriends: needless to say when it rings.
But the good thing with the iPhone is the internet. Keep your phone number to yourself, but give away your email.

The hostel is located pretty far from the city center, so be prepared to walk a little to catch the (long) bus ride, bring a car, or borrow one of the bikes available for free. But the area which is actually a huge park area is very pleasant and worth it all.

The script works great! The issue I have is that when I load a featured image that it doesn't create a thumbnail of it...the full image is being used in the featured grid area and not a smaller file size.
Do I have to manually create thumbnails to use as the featured image or should this be done automatically with the plugin?
Also, is there a function to remove the featured post from displaying at the top of the actual post?

Looking for a different color? Place a custom order.
All our hair is measured when straight. If selecting a 22" Curly, it's actual visible length will most likely curl up to 18" to 20". Please keep this in mind when planning for your hairstyle and making your purchase.
At Perfect Locks, since all of our hair is Single Drawn hair, meaning it's natural from root to tip, we give you an extra 2 inches of length to account for any natural length variation. Most customers love the natural ends, but we have those who like to snip covered.
When selecting hair, please note the type of hair extensions will have an impact on where the hair will fall. For example, Cli-Ins can be placed strategically, where a Lace Closure is placed up top on your crown.
The best of both worlds. A long 4oz wefted track and the most popular cold fusion technique. No glue or adhesives, your stylist will simply thread your hair through the bead and clamp. Go in for a touch up after your hair grows out to slide the beads up. presto. Available in straight, wavy, and curly and multiple colors.
Longevity, durability, and flexibility is the name of the game.
Spend your time styling and impressing, not detangling and frustrated.
Hand-crafted with care in India and triple inspected in California.
We've taken the best of both worlds by painstakingly sewing beads on the track of a full 4 oz weft of hair, it's like a fusion hair fiesta! Micro beads are the hottest trend, just thread your hair through the bead and clamp. Wefts offer plenty of volume, length, and width. The result is our amazingly versatile beaded weft tracks.
Touch ups are easy every 4 to 6 weeks. Simply unclamp the beads, slide them up on your newly grown roots, and reclamp. It doesn't get much easier, or gorgeous, than this.

Time for a Shift in Thinking
(See Corrections & Amplifications item below.)
The much-anticipated pause has arrived. The Federal Reserve left its federal-funds rate at 5.25% after 17 consecutive quarter-point increases.
So what constitutes a "pause?" Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke hasn't been any more explicit since he first mentioned the possibility months ago. But the definition is pretty straightforward: "to cease or suspend an action temporarily," according to the American Heritage dictionary. The key word there is "temporarily." What has been worrying many market participants is that a pause isn't an end. By definition, a pause means the Fed campaign to raise rates will resume, the only question being when.
But let's not get too tied up in semantics. I doubt that's what Mr. Bernanke really meant when he used the word. I suspect a more accurate phrasing would have been that the Fed might stop raising rates, and then it would "wait and see." For one thing, he has been stressing that the Fed's future actions will be data-dependent, meaning neither he nor his fellow Fed governors know what they'll do until they have a better understanding of how the economy has responded so far to the series of rate increases. In this sense, the failure to raise rates may indeed be an end to rate increases, or it may turn out to be a pause if the Fed finds it needs to raise rates at a future meeting.
History may also be instructive. I was curious to see just when the Fed last paused in a rate-raising campaign, in the sense that it stopped increasing rates for one or more meetings, and then resumed. I looked at every Fed rate decision since 1914, and guess what? The Fed has never paused in a campaign to raise rates. Sometimes it has held rates constant for several meetings, but the next move has always been a cut. Pauses aren't unheard of -- they occurred three times, in 1999, 1994 and 1988. But these all happened in periods of declining rates.
I suppose there could always be a first, but I don't like to bet against history. In any event, we long-term investors, as opposed to short-term traders, don't have to bet at all. We may not be able to know what the Fed's next move will be, but surely there's little doubt that the long campaign to raise rates is at or near an end. The data are clear that the economy is slowing. The housing market has cooled off. Unless the laws of economics have been repealed, a slowing economy will in turn ease inflationary pressures. It will also curb demand for oil, and oil prices should finally decline. None of this is showing up in the data yet, because it's too soon.
So it's time to shift your thinking from an environment of ongoing rate increases to one of flat and, eventually, declining rates. This is true even in the unlikely event that the Fed resumes its rate-tightening campaign for what would surely be a brief period. Put simply, declining rates have historically been good for both bonds and stocks. Bank of America recently analyzed 20 tightening cycles over the past 50 years and found that the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index rose consistently during the 12 months after the Fed stopped tightening. For the period 1989-2006, the large-cap index rose an average of 17.4%, as opposed to 8.9% during the 12 months before the Fed stopped.
This hasn't always been the case, most notably when the Fed stopped tightening during the tech-bubble implosion, and stocks continued their steep decline. Nor do most of these end-of-Fed-increase rallies happen right away. The first few months after the Fed stops tightening have often been shaky, as investors worry that the Fed may have tightened too much, pushing the economy into recession. There has been a lot of chatter along those lines recently, accounting for some of the market dips. But in recent years the Fed has a pretty good track record at avoiding or minimizing recessions.
So you probably have a month or two to adapt to this new environment. But plan to have your investments in place before this uncertainty about the economy is resolved. By then, profit opportunities will already have been realized.

Corrections & Amplifications:
The Federal Reserve has on occasion continued to raise rates after pausing during a period of rate rises. This column incorrectly reports that the Fed has never paused during such a period and that subsequent moves after such pauses have always been rate cuts.

On the face of it, employing family members can be a good idea. You know them well, so all of the issues of trust and reliance on a stranger should be eliminated.
However, the existence of the family relationship does not bypass any employment laws or any issues relating to tax. Knowing your duties in this area is essential to not falling foul of the law and incurring fines or penalties.
Regardless of your business structure (sole trader or limited company) you can employ your partner or spouse in your business.
The general rule is that your partner or spouse should be paid for the effort and hours worked in your business. You must pay your partner or spouse at least the national minimum wage (you can't get away with paying less).
Where the amount earned exceeds the "lower earning limit" (currently £102 a week, £442 a month or £5,304 a year) you must register as an employer with HM Revenue Customs (HMRC), complete the required PAYE records and file annual returns.
So, just like employing anyone else, you must comply with the tax laws.
Directors of limited companies who hold office and do not have a contract of employment are outside of the scope of the national minimum wage (see the Directgov website for further information)
This means that a director can be paid an amount that does not incur tax or national insurance.
Subject to employment laws, you can employ your children in the business. Again you must pay them the relevant national minimum wage for the hours they work.
It may also mean that because of the payments made to your children you must register with HMRC as an employer. Be sure to check or else you could incur fines and penalties.
If you employ a student at any time other than their normal holidays, you operate PAYE as normal. However, if you have children at college or university and you employ them solely during the summer, winter or Easter holidays, you may be able to apply special rules to their pay which can make the administration simpler and negate the need for you to register as an employer with HMRC.
If you meet this criteria, you may be able to pay the student without deducting tax, although in most cases you will still have to deduct and account for national insurance. Full details can be found on the HMRC website.
Employing anyone is complicated and a minefield of rules and regulation. To ensure that you do follow the rules on this it is always best to seek specific advice from your accountant who will know and understand your circumstances and can make sure that you adhere to the tax laws and your solicitor for employment law issues.

Hi my wife and I have just bought an established business and I also own my own business in my own name. My wife and I are going to equal partners of the new business and will both be on the payroll . Can we both get the tax free allowance of the £11,000.00 per year?
Recently my wife left her job because she did not want to work in the environment she was in. I run a leaflet and magazine distribution business. I am a sole trader with no employees and submit a yearly tax return. The profits made from the business pay for general living expenditure. On the odd occasion she has been out and done a few hours work for me when needed. Now she is out of work completely she is interested in helping out more. To the degree that he does help the business will get more work done for which it will be paid. She has not asked to be paid for the work because we are a couple and share financial obligations. How does this classsify legally and in terms of tax and where could I find the important information that governs this setup if it were to develop?
I'm afraid we can't give individual advice, although the blog above indicates that the law applies equally to employing family and non-family members. You will find more information on the Tax Donut and on HMRC's site.
My 11 year old son runs his own website. Clever chap gets a couple of grand a year from advertising for little more than maintaining it. Is this TAX something I have to declare?
Good evening. I found this article to be very usefull in terms of rules and laws which need to be followed. However, i have a question of a more moral nature. At which point does the law intervine when family members receive more understanding or are favoured(based only on their family relationship, not their performance) in comparison to other employees? Is this not a form of discrimination?
There's a useful section on discrimination on the Law Donut which covers equal pay and equal treatment which you might find useful in answer to your question.

Just to say that the amounts for the tax year 2014 / 2015 are £111 a week, £481 a month or £5,772 a year.
To answer your question – if you employ your son at below £111 / week then you may not need to register if he is your only employee. Other conditions do apply - You can read the full information about this on the HMRC web site at:
You'd show this in your accounts as a wages cost (debit wages / credit bank)
Hope this helps.
Hi it says here: "Where the amount earned exceeds the "lower earning limit" (currently £102 a week, £442 a month or £5,304 a year) you must register as an employer with HM Revenue Customs (HMRC), complete the required PAYE records and file annual returns" So does this mean if I employ my son at £101 or less per week I do not have to do PAYE or register? If that is the case, how would I show this on my business accounts? I work from home and as my home is still incomplete I am unable to get insurance, this means employing anyone other than family (who already live here anyway) is not an option. But I could do with some help, and my son might as well be the one to be paid as any one else!
Can I pay my son through paye even if he does not work or contribute to the buisness
For general guidelines on employing family members, have a look at this section of the Law Donut. To check the tax and legal implications you could call HMRC on 0300 200 3200.
