The 3D printing market continues to grow at an astounding pace and new products keep appearing that increase the range and value of what can be produced. I just discovered a company that makes 3D printers that are, as far as I can determine, unique in that they build 3D models using standard office paper in full color.
A 3D model produced by an Mcor Iris printer
The 3D printers made by Mcor Technologies use stand A4 or US Letter sized paper, have a maximum build size of 9.39 inches by 6.89 inches by 5.9 inches, and a resolution of 0.0004 inches on all three axes.
The way the color printer, the Iris, produces a model is very clever: All of the layers of a model are printed with bar codes to identify each page using a proprietary water-based ink (it soaks into the paper to prevent white edges) with a customized inkjet printer. The printed pages are then placed in the 3D printer. Mcor's other 3D printer, the Matrix 300+, prints only monochrome models so the printing step I've just described isn't used.
The 3D printer applies glue selectively to the previous layer so that the glue is thicker in the model areas and minimal elsewhere which makes "weeding" (removal the material that isn't part of the model) easier. The printer then loads the next sheet and using heat and pressure bonds the new sheet to the previous sheet. Finally, using a fine computer controlled blade, the model's parts on the new layer are cut from the new sheet.
This sequence repeats until the model is complete. Finally the model is "weeded" and voila! You have a high-resolution, full color 3D object and because the ink soaks into the paper full color is visible under overhangs.
Another attribute of these paper model is they are tough; being made of thousands of layers of carefully bonded paper the end product is more like wood than paper (which also means it's more environmentally friendly than plastic models). If you need a tougher model you can apply resin to produce an object that can be drilled and cut.
As for cost, building models from paper is cheaper than many other 3D printing technologies. While regular 3D printing materials cost more than $10 per cubic inch the models below build by Mcor printers cost between $0.07 per cubic inch (the monchrome architecture model) to $0.92 per cubic inch (the full color GIS map).
The potential for this technology is enormous and, while priced at $47,600 for the Iris color 3D printer and $36,400 for the Matrix 300+ monochrome printer, they are out of reach for home users they are a very affordable technology for small manufacturers and shared "maker" operations.

Board of Control for Cricket in India Vice President Shashank Manohar, addressing reporters after the meeting, said that their performance in satisfactory.
Mr Manohar said ''The option of rejecting the office bearers after the second year has been done as the BCCI constitution does not have the option of a no-confidence motion even if any member is not doing his work properly.'' Mr Manohar also said that a candidate standing from any zone would have to have a proposer from that zone itself, though the seconder could be from any zone.
The Special General Body also empowered the board President with the extra vote, Mr Manohar added.
Giving details about the decisions taken in the meeting, Mr Manohar said it was decided to empower the President to take decisions regarding formation of the different committees needed for the smooth conduct of the 2011 World Cup which will be jointly held by India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
In another momentous decision taken by the special general body, it was decided that all state associations would be given a year's time to form a women's wing to look after the interest of women's cricket. Mr Manohar said that during this time, the cricket board would give financial assistance and help the Women's Cricket association with their bilateral tours.
Mr Manohar clarified that the women's cricket board would not be merged with the BCCI, but all the state associations would have a women's wing in a year's time and they would be responsible for the welfare of the women's cricket.
He also said that the existing women's state bodies would not be recognised and this decision was taken after consulting the secretary of the women's cricket association Shubhangi Kulkarni.
When asked about the selection of the national team, Mr Manohar said that for the next year the present women's cricket association of India would be responsible for the selection, and after a year's time when all the state bodies would have an women's wing, we will decide on the way the selection of the national women's team will be done, Mr Manohar added.
Speaking about the controversy regarding which association to recognise in Bihar and Jharkhand, Mr Manohar said that for the time being the matter has been deferred. Instead, he said, a three-member committee comprising Arun Jaitley, N Srinivasan and Mr Manohar himself has been formed which will go into the allegations and counter-allegations of all the bodies from these two states and submit a report on the type of action to be taken to solve this problem.
Mr Manohar also informed that the BCCI has, for the moment, decided to give financial help to budding junior sportspersons from other disciplines for their training abroad.
He said that for the time being the money would be given directly to the sportsperson and not the associations.

Weekly Notes: legal news from ICLR – 15 July 2016
Posted on 18th Jul 2016 in Weekly Notes
This week's roundup of legal news and events comes from Chicago, where ICLR is attending the annual meeting of the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL). Coping with the oversupply of news in recent weeks has not been easy and this week is no exception. We have a reshuffled government, a fragmenting opposition, and the legal fallout of conflicts past and all too present to cover, along with some more specifically legal news to catch up on.
Politics as [un]usual
Straight In at No 10: "The Downing Street Shuffle"
This week we began with one prime minister and ended with another. Having led the field of five contestants for the post which David Cameron had announced, following the EU Referendum result, that he would give up, and having calmly waiting for all the other contestants one by one to fall by the wayside, either from lack of support or manifestions of their own incompetence for the top job, Theresa May quietly and confidently walked into No 10 Downing Street without the tiresome necessity even of canvassing for and winning (as she probably but perhaps not certainly would have done) the popular vote of Tory party members.
Over the next couple of days she reshuffled the cabinet, including most significantly from this blog's point of view the removal of Michael Gove from the government front bench altogether, to be replaced as Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice by the former Environment Secretary, Liz Truss, another non-lawyer, whose previous relevant experience seems to have been serving on the House of Commons Justice Committee chaired by Bob Neill.
According to The Times Law Brief (15 July), Bella Sankey, director of policy at Liberty, the campaigning group, called on Truss
to abandon David Cameron's proposal to repeal the Human Rights Act. It is bitterly opposed by all three devolved administrations and would diminish the hard-won protections of everyone in the United Kingdom."
The long-pledged British Bill of Rights, whose drafting gestation has become a long-running farce, is not the only poisoned chalice on the new Lord Chancellor's desk. She must also deal with the implosion of publicly funded litigation and the festering legal aid crisis, and implement the badly needed and long overdue electrification of the court system.
For an assessment of Truss's suitability for these tasks, see
- The Secret Barrister blog: The new Justice Secretary – does it matter that she's not a lawyer?
- Legal Voice: From pork markets to prisons
UPDATE: we have just heard, via the Times law Brief (18 July) that Lord Faulks, a justice minister, has resigned from the government, reportedly by reason of Liz Truss's inexperience and his perception that the Justice ministry has been downgraded thereby. Moreover, he doesn't think she can stand up to the big brutes in the new cabinet when it comes to fighting for the judiciary and the legal system.
As for Theresa May, her confidence and experience counted in her favour, but although her coronation was greeted with general relief, it was viewed with some dismay by a number of legal commentators, because in her six-year tenure as the Home Secretary she has exhibited a tendency towards illiberal policies, such as in her support for intrusive digital surveillance and her eagerness to deport people. Moreover, although she seemed recently to have recanted on this, she has previously voiced a desire to rid the UK of the shackles of the European Convention on Human Rights, either by downgrading the authority of decisions of the Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg as applied in English courts (a point widely misunderstood in any case, as they are currently only persuasive, not binding) or by the more "nuclear" option of renouncing the Convention itself. More more on this, see:
- Aida Edemariam, in the Guardian: Theresa May is no liberal – and her rise to PM is no cause for celebration
- Andrew Griffin, in the Independent: Theresa May could launch huge attack on privacy and internet surveillance protections as prime minister, campaigners warn
The opposition meanwhile continued to agonise over its own leadership, with threats and counterthreats of resort to legal action to enforce disputed provisions of the party's own rulebook on the election of its leader. The week ended with Jeremy Corbyn still in the top position, but two rival MPs now seeking support for their bids to replace him, Angela Eagle and Owen Smith. See, on this:
- Carl Gardner, on his Head of Legal blog: Can Jeremy Corbyn be kept off Labour's leadership ballot?
- Daily Telegraph : Jeremy Corbyn threatens to sue his own party
- Guardian: Angela Eagle or Owen Smith? MPs say only one should challenge Corbyn
- John Harris, in the Guardian A fetid cloud of acrimony hangs over Labour – this is the end
War law
Chilcot Report prompts legal claims
The long-awaited report of Sir John Chilcot's Iraq Inquiry (set up by the then Prime Minister Gordon Brown in 2009) prompted a lot of commentary as soon as it was published, with some seizing on its conclusions to castigate and condemn the politicians (most obviously Tony Blair, the Prime Minister at the time) who led the UK into the war, and others pointing out that the report appeared too weak and watered down to support the consequences which were expected to follow (including legal action of various types).
This blog hasn't the resources to cover the report or its fallout in detail, but some of the key articles and blog posts dealing with the legal aspects are listed below for the benefit of readers who would like to explore further. A good many of them are published by The Guardian, which has some good little explainer panels (and seems to have set up quite a Chilcottage Industry out of the Report).
- Read the executive summary of the report (HC 264) here: PDF
- Report in The Guardian covering Tony Blair's press conference after the report was published: Tony Blair unrepentant as Chilcot gives crushing Iraq war verdict
- Joshua Rozenberg, in the Guardian: The Iraq war inquiry has left the door open for Tony Blair to be prosecuted
- Frances Gibb, in The Times, Legal lessons from Chilcot on going to war
- David Allen Green in his Financial Times blog, Chilcot Report: The government hit the legal case from view (Explains how Blair was able to patch together the dubious legal justification – described by Chilcot as "far from satisfactory" – for a war to which he was already committed)
- Geoffrey Robertson, in the Guardian, Putting Tony Blair in the dock is a fantasy
Hate crime: SG speaks out
The Solicitor General, Robert Buckland QC, gave a speech to the Public Policy Exchange Symposium on effectively tackling Hate Crime this week. The subject is one which he says has long concerned him.
Hate crime of any kind, directed against any person, community or religion has absolutely no place in our society.
The scenes and behaviour we have been witness to in recent weeks, including the desecration of places of worship and abuse hurled at people just because they are a member of an ethnic minority or because of their nationality or faith, are despicable and shameful.
He noted that the timing of the symposium was "unfortunate" by reason of the referendum result, but I should have thought it was, rather, timely and therefore, if not fortunate, at least fortuitous.
These recent events are shocking, but sadly this is not a new phenomenon. …
As to that recent spike – this Government remains committed to combating the harm caused by far and extreme right wing groups in our society. …
As we change Prime Minister, that commitment will not diminish. The incoming Prime Minister, having worked as the Home Secretary for the last 6 years is particularly well placed to tackle this issue.
Among the solutions discussed at the symposium, the Solicitor General promised extra resourcing to deal with the problems:
We will provide a new fund for protective security measures at potentially vulnerable institutions and also offer additional funding to community organisations so they can tackle hate crime.>>
You can read the speech here.
CPS hate crime report
The Solicitor General's speech also coincided with the publication by the Crown Prosecution Service of its eighth Hate Crime Report, in which it claims that More hate crimes are being prosecuted by the Crown Prosecution Service than ever before.
Alison Saunders, Director of Public Prosecutions said,
My message is that a hate crime is exactly that – a crime – and will not be ignored. Hate crime creates fear and has a devastating impact on individuals and communities. Nobody should have to go about their day to day life in fear of being attacked.

Consumer Protection
Consumer Prepayments on Retailer Insolvency
The Law Commission has completed its investigation into whether greater protection is needed for consumers who lose deposits or gift vouchers when retailers or other service providers become insolvent.
Its report sets out five recommendations which would improve consumers' position on insolvency:
- Regulating Christmas and similar savings schemes, which pose a particular risk to vulnerable consumers.
- Introducing a general power for Government to require prepayment protection in sectors which pose a particular risk to consumers.
- Giving consumers more information about obtaining a refund through their debit or credit card issuer.
- Making a limited change to the insolvency hierarchy, to give a preference to the most vulnerable category of prepaying consumers.
- Making changes to the rules on when consumers acquire ownership of goods.
The commission laid its report (LC368) before Parliament on 13 July and awaits the Government's response. You can read more here.
Legal professions
Female bar discriminated against
A report commissioned by the Bar regulator, the Bar Standards Board, has found that almost 50% of women barristers report having experienced discrimination in connection with their work.
The report, entitled Women at the Bar, was based on an online survey sent to all practising women barristers and completed by over 1,300 of them (about a quarter). It was intended to improve the Bar Standards Board's knowledge of the implementation and effectiveness of the Equality Rules (of the BSB Handbook, which came into effect in September 2012) and to explore issues which might be contributing towards a lack of retention of female barristers.
Two in every five respondents reported experiencing harassment at the Bar, and more than two in every five respondents stated they had experienced discrimination. Concern about the impact on their career was the most common reason for not reporting these issues, along with prevailing attitudes in the profession.
The report highlights the need to change the culture of the Bar and provide better support for those affected by these problems. It also deals with the need to support life choices like maternity, part time working and diversity.
You can READ THE FULL REPORT (PDF) here.

UX Heuristics: What the Heck is a Heuristic, Anyways?
UX Heuristics: What the Heck is a Heuristic, Anyways?
Wikipedia defines heuristics as "strategies using readily accessible, though loosely applicable, information to control problem solving" . The origin of the word itself lies in curiosity and inquiry. In user experience design, this means applying a specific set of common principles to uncover problems and identify areas for improvement. At DevFacto, we use them to evaluate, facilitate, and in some cases predict the strength, quality, and effectiveness our work.
The set of heuristics we use are based on the well-regarded work of Abbey Covert, whose list was built in consideration of Nielsen & Molich, Peter Morville, Lou Rosenfeld, Ergonomics of Human System Interaction and most recently Resmini & Rosati.
These are the 10 heuristics we use:
* Findable
* Accessible
* Clear
* Communicative
* Useful (Effective)
* Credible
* Controllable
* Valuable
* Learnable
* Delightful
Your first consideration of them should be in how they can drive you to ask the right questions. You can gain value simply by asking questions like "is (some important thing) findable in my current project?" or "is the solution I am building communicating the right things to people using it?"
"I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious."
It becomes more powerful when you can identify the most applicable heuristics against a particular task or user goal, based on knowledge of the user attempting to complete that goal. Suddenly you're honing in on what will make a great interaction for that user, and creating a really valuable piece of work.
At DevFacto, we offer a heuristic assessment, in which we use heuristics to break down issues in an existing solution and provide insight into what can be done to improve them. For each finding, we list applicable heuristics, severity of the issues, propose a solution, and list the benefits of that solution.
Interested in diving deeper into UX Heuristics? Download our Heuristics in UX Design eBook – it's a great introductory guide to UX Heuristics and how to succeed using them.

Thanksgiving Travel Update: Winter Storm Boreas Creates Headaches for Airlines, Drivers
The massive Winter Storm Boreas, blamed for at least 14 deaths in the Plains and West, is parked over the East Coast Wednesday, halting Thanksgiving traffic with snow, ice, heavy rains and even a tornado.
"The timing of the storm couldn't be worse," said Chris Vaccaro, spokesman for the National Weather Service headquarters in Silver Spring, Md. "We are seeing numerous threats as the storm is beginning to develop and intensify."
Heavy rain and breezy conditions were to strike the East Coast from the Carolinas to the Northeast on Wednesday, with ice and snow a possibility in the Appalachians, western Pennsylvania and western New York.
(MORE: Live Winter Weather Updates)
Boreas will bring snow and even ice in the Northeast, with the heaviest snow in the interior Northeast. In the mid-Atlantic and South, the storm will bring heavy rain and high winds.
"The biggest impact have been on air travel. Road travel impacts aren't that bad right now.," said Tom Niziol, winter weather expert at The Weather Channel. "On the cold/snowy side, it's underachieving, but on the rain side, that's about what we expected."
Delays of almost two hours were already being felt at Philadelphia Airports and LaGuardia Airport in New York. Other delays are expected at some of the country's busiest airports.
Most airlines are hoping the storms won't be too severe, allowing them to continue operating a nearly full schedule with few cancellations, but likely a lot of delays, said Daniel Baker, CEO of FlightAware, a global flight tracking service.
"Cancellations are used as a good, preventative measure to avoid cascading delays that can negatively impact travelers thousands of miles away," Baker said.
(MORE: Worst Weather Airports | Flight Tracker)
"You'll see 5-8 inches of snow in the Upper Adirodack but other places will get mainly 1-3 inches," said Niziol. "The Appalachians could see 3-5 inches and the ski areas will be happy."
More than 43 million people are to travel over the long holiday weekend, according to AAA. The overwhelming majority - about 39 million people - will be on the roads. But more than 3 million people are expected to filter through airports.
"The good news is Boreas is moving fast," said meteorologist Stephanie Abrams. "By tonight, it will mostly be done."
Northeast Impacts: Snow and Ice
The interior Northeast and areas on the Great Lakes will see the heaviest portion of snow.
Power outages are being reported in western New York, due to the heavy, wet snow.
"We have 3-5 inches of snowfall in Buffalo this morning," said meteorologist Reynolds Wolf, reporting from Buffalo, N.Y. "Over by the Bills stadium they had 8-10 inches of snow but generally its 3-5.

Ukraine accuses Russia of sending in tanks, armor
Credit: The Associated Press
NOVOAZOVSK, Ukraine — Ukraine accused Russia on Thursday of entering its territory with tanks, artillery and troops, and Western powers said Moscow had "outright lied" about its role and dangerously escalated the conflict.
Russia dismissed the allegations, describing the fighters there as "Russian volunteers." The Kremlin has repeatedly denied arming and supporting the separatists who have been fighting Ukrainian troops for four months in the gravest crisis between Russia and the West since the end of the Cold War.

Just when you've spent your savings on the new iPhone 4S, the latest Apple-related rumour is of a next generation iPad being tested on iOS 5.
Asian IT publication Digitimes is claiming that test devices, codenamed J1 and J2, are in existence, fuelled by references to J2 in the development code strings for iOS 5. As always with Apple rumours, that's all they are but quite often they end up very close to reality further down the line.
The paper also claims that programming code within the operating system points at the iPad 3 having a 2048x1536 resolution display. If this is the case, an iPad with a Retina display is going to blow every other tablet out of the water when it comes to screen definition.
Theoretically, testing on iOS 5 could mean a launch might not be too far away but as always with Apple, nothing's certain until they actually hit the shelves – March next year if the last two iPads were anything to go by.

Description: First published in 1928, "A Lantern in Her Hand" has outlasted literary fashions to touch generations of readers. In this classic story of a pioneer woman, Bess Streeter Aldrich modeled protagonist Abbie Deal on her own mother, who in 1854 had traveled by covered wagon to the Midwest. In "A Lantern in Her Hand," Abbie accompanies her family to the soon-to-be-state of Nebraska. There, in 1865, she marries and settles into her own sod house. The novel describes Abbie's years of child-raising, of making a frontier home able to withstand every adversity. A Disciplined writer knowledgeable about true stories of pioneer days in Nebraska, Bess Streeter Aldrich conveys the strength of everyday things, the surprise of familiar faces, and the look of the unspoiled landscape during different seasons. Refusing to be broken by hard experience, Abbie sets a joyful example for her family-and for her readers.

USD parity
Follows is a piece I was asked to write for the AFR on the AUD hitting parity – something that I think is a big medium term challenge for our economy…
Among the biggest challenges facing Australian companies is managing exchange rate risk. In the past two years the dollar has fluctuated in a range from around 61c early last year to near parity today. While the level of month to month volatility has been unprecedented, managers have had to deal with significant volatility since the time the Australian dollar was floated in 1983.
The cause of exchange rate volatility is exceptional volatility in the supply and demand for Australian dollars. As with goods, the value of a currency depends on supply and demand. If the demand for Australian dollars increases, then its value increases. Too much supply and value decreases. Demand for Australian dollars arises from two sources. Firstly, foreigners demand Australian dollars to buy our exports. A chinese buyer of our iron ore creates a demand for Australian dollars in the foreign currency market. On the supply side, when we buy imports we supply Australian dollars to the market and create a demand for foreign currency. So as our trade prospects improve so too does the value of our currency. [DDET Read more]
The other source of supply and demand for currency comes from asset demands. As foreign companies seek to buy Australian companies, or mutual funds buy shares in Australian companies, a demand for Australian dollars is created. Recent strengthening in the AUD has arisen in part because of stronger demand for our commodities, but more important has been the stronger demand for our commodity based companies.
There are a couple of tweaks on this basic theory of currency value that are worth noting. Firstly, the price of AUD is a relative price. Our currency increases in value if there is more demand for AUD, or more correctly if the relative demand for AUD versus other currencies increases. If demand for US dollars falls, as has happened in recent months, then this will cause a strengthening of our currency. Secondly, expectations about currency values are critical. Expectations about future trade trends will affect asset demands today, and so affect the currency value today.
Economists theories about currency value tend to treat trade as the dominant driver of value. A country's exchange rate is said to be overvalued when imports exceed exports for example. But on a day to day and month to month basis trade flows are not the dominant factor affecting currency values. At the moment the spot trade in Australian dollars in foreign exchange markets is about $24 billion per day. Exports and imports together are only a little more than $1 billion per day, so the vast majority of currency trades are related to asset trades of various forms. Add in trades in currency derivative markets and the trade related transactions are dwarfed by speculative and other asset related trades. The fact that sentiment can change quickly regarding the value of a currency means that currency values can also move quickly.
As sentiment regarding the strength of the Australian dollar is clearly on the up, what are the implications for our economy? Most obviously non-commodity export competing sectors are going to continue to find things tough. Manufacturing, tourism, and services exports in areas such as education will find the going difficult, and unfortunately it is impossible to predict whether our exchange rate will return quickly to a more competitive level.
With the exchange rate around parity an obvious question is whether policymakers can take action to mitigate the adverse impacts of a strong currency? Unfortunately the short answer is not really. The strong currency reflects a strong economy, with interest rates higher than in other countries such as the United States, and strong demand for our exports. Or to flip it around the weak US dollar reflects the grave weakness of that economy.
It is possible that the RBA could try to limit exchange rate appreciation, but the evidence is that any such action is likely to have only a very limited impact. China manages its currency against the USD, but it does so by putting severe limits on assets demands and supplies involving China's currency. In Australia capital flows are not regulated and so the ability of the RBA to lean against currency moves is very limited. Compared with daily spot trades in the AUD of $24 billion the RBA holds about $48 billion in foreign exchange reserves – two days worth of spot trade. So the RBA can try to intervene in the foreign exchange market, but the reality is that they just don't have very much ammunition relative to currency traders as a group. The RBA recognise this, with their official policy being that they lean against rapid moves up or down of the exchange rate, but they take an agnostic view as to the value of the currency.
The government could withdraw fiscal stimulus more quickly to try to give the RBA more room to leave rates on hold with the hope that this will weaken the currency, but as we saw this month with the RBA unexpectedly leaving rates unchanged, the impact of this on the exchange rate was very short-lived. At least for the short to medium term the Australian economy is in a much stronger position than the US or European economies, and the value of our currency reflects that fact.
A final possibility might be for the government to invest funds offshore to counteract the strong demand for AUD, but this runs into the same problem as RBA intervention. Unless the government invests billions of dollars per day overseas, their impact on the currency value is likely to be very limited. And well before that point I would worry about the government's ability to invest wisely offshore to such an extent.
So unfortunately the best that we can do is grin and bear the strong dollar. And if you have enough of those strong aussies, you can grin and bear it in the south of France or in California at a lot less cost than this time last year![/DDET]
5 Responses to "USD parity"
I think your argument about the size of the RBA's size of FX reserves is relevant when it comes to them buying the currency, but not when it comes to selling it. So this is not really the issue.
The main issue why the Bank hasn't intervened is that the strong currency, which you point out, reflects the strong aggregate performance of the economy, and economic theory (such as the 'Balassa-Samuelson effect). This is consistent with Australia's strong terms of trade even after adjusting for the FX translation effect
The "strong $" story is another reason not to intervene. But my point is just that intervention would be pointless anyway, in the sense that it would be hard to influence the exchange rate by enough to make any significant difference from a competitive perspective. There are two RBA discussion papers on exchange rate interventions in recent years – one by Kearns and Rigobon which finds that interventions do affect the exchange rate, but that paper used data in the 1990s when the forex market was much smaller. The basic point of their paper was that leaning against the wind seemed to work. Another paper by Becker and Sinclair in 2004 found that the RBA made profits in the long run on their "leaning against the wind" policy which they take as evidence that the RBA strategy helped stabilise the exchange rate. While both these papers take the view that interventions can stabilise the exchange rate they do not support the view that it would be possible to move the exchange rate by 10-15 cents permanently, say, which is presumably about the minimum you'd need to get any real impact on competitiveness.
You report daily trades in our currency at $24Billion yet imports and exports together are $1billion per day?
The volatility is caused because the speculative trades swamp the "real trades". So a possible solution is to charge the speculators for trading. That would reduce the amount of speculation which is almost all unproductive noise in the system.
The point is that the real and nominal exchange rate appreciation of the Aussie is behaving precisely as predicted by standard textbook theory, in particular the sharp rise in the terms of trade.
We can debate about whether the pace of appreciation is entirely consistent with theory, but to (at least) a first-order approximation, the evidence is consistent with theory. We don't really need recourse to speculative vs "real" trades and taxes on speculation to rationalise the Aussie's movements (although your point may be true for other asset markets).

DEFINITION of 'BHD (Berhad)'
The suffix Bhd. is an abbreviation of a Malay word "berhad," which means "private." An equivalent of Ltd.(which is used in Britain, U.S., etc.), Bhd. is used to indicate a private limited company in Malaysia. In a limited company, the shareholders' liability is limited to the capital they'd originally invested. If such company becomes insolvent, the shareholders personal assets remain protected. Shares in a private limited company are not offered to the general public (distinguishing it from a public limited company.)
BREAKING DOWN 'BHD (Berhad)'
Since shares in a private limited company can't be offered to the general public, they also can't be traded on a public stock exchange. But private companies have less strict disclosure requirements than public ones, and so most companies remain private. An example of a company employing such a structure is Khazanah Nasional Berhad.

Dungeness Crab; Oregon's official crustacean symbol. Photo by Colleen Proppe/Flickr (Noncommercial Use Permitted with Attribution).
Official State Crustacean of Oregon
Oregon designated the Dungeness crab (cancer magister) as the official state crustacean in 2009, the result of petitioning by the 4th grade class of Sunset Primary School in West Linn, Oregon.
Only two other states have adopted an official crustacean symbol (Lousiana state crustacean; Maryland state crustacean). All Aquatic Life Symbols
House Joint Resolution 37 Oregon Laws 2009
Whereas the Dungeness crab fishery is the most valuable single-species fishery in Oregon, making Dungeness crab an important part of Oregon's economy; and
Whereas the Dungeness crab is an iconic Oregon symbol; and
Whereas the Dungeness crab is the most delicious of the crab species; and
Whereas the Dungeness crab annual harvest begins each year on December 1, when Dungeness crabs are hard-shelled, full of meat and in their prime; and
Whereas the Dungeness crab harvest ends on August 14 to minimize handling, so that post-molt, soft-shelled crabs can fill out undisturbed; and
Whereas this management method has served the resource well for decades and ensures that the Dungeness crab fishery is truly sustainable; now, therefore,
Be It Resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the State of Oregon:
That the Dungeness crab is the official crustacean of the State of Oregon.
Filed in the office of Secretary of State June 19, 2009

And just to be clear, many in the north also dehumanized themselves by supporting slavery.
I think this nicely sums up a bigger point about the discussion of the contemporary meaning of the Civil War. Hunter says, "Any discussion of the Civil War must invariably include slavery, but this is not all that mattered at the time. Americans who try to make this the case dehumanize 19th century white Southerners in much the same way that racists stereotype minorities." There are two issues with this statement.
1) Slavery was not all that mattered at the time to some people, from the north and the south, but failing to appreciate that slavery was all that mattered to 4 million enslaved men women and children is an egregious oversight. Slavery wasn't the only issue if and only if you weren't a slave.
2) Claiming that slavery should be a principal concern in the debate does not dehumanize white Southerners. They took care of that themselves by supporting slavery tacitly or explicitly.
My contention is that the conservative understanding of health care reform is incomplete. Under Jack's last post I posed the following, to which I received no response:
"The recent Health Care Bill was strongly opposed by conservatives and the GOP alike. The central issue in the debate was whether we as a country ought to extend health care coverage to 45 million uninsured Americans. The left saw it as a moral imperative, the right as a government take over. Most hotly contested was an expansion of medicaid and the potential inclusion of a public option for the poorest of our citizens. Of those 45 million currently uninsured, the vast majority of them are minorities. Site what principles you like, but Tea Partiers are fighting tooth and nail to keep minorities uninsured. Whether this is you intention is another question all together, but you are either overtly racist, or racist and woefully ignorant of that fact.
If you respond please tell me how, regardless of your motivations, you are not advocating denying millions of minorities equal access to basic services. Sounds a lot like Jim Crow to me."
I'd appreciate your answer. I'll also add that your first paragraph is correct in that my argument (not thought experiment) only works if there is "enough racism to go around." Unfortunately this is not an assumption but a fact. No one wants to understand the world in terms of race, but it's going to take a while to cleanse ourselves of a profoundly racist legacy. (The civil rights act was passed less than 50 years ago) The impatience, and unwillingness of conservatives to help in the process makes them either immoral or amoral.
Reader Out of State,
My post directly addresses the topic of Jack's article, "white guilt." In particular it's an argument which explains the unequal distribution of the burdens of racism, and how this burden creates the appearance of guilt in some "Liberals." You might also argue that it creates genuine feelings of guilt, but the cause remains the same. In other words it explains the phenomenon which Jack is trying to understand in thinking about and writing his article.
Moreover, you have failed to address my argument directly. It would seem your oblique reference to my post is off-topic.
Even though I don't share the view, I can understand how one would perceive certain groups as burdening themselves thinking of race matters. But I'd submit the following argument for consideration.
1) There is racism in the US in some quantity
2) Racism is an ill and it's elimination desirable
3) Among the US population there are differences in the level of an individual's concern and attention to racism and its effects.
4) Some people are not at all concerned or concerned very little about racism as a problem.
5) Some members of society have to shoulder more than their fair share of the collective burden of racism.
The first 4 premises are pulled directly from reader comments and Jack's article. And the conclusion logically follows. More over, all premises and the conclusion are true so the argument is not only valid but cogent too.
To disprove the conclusion you must disagree with the veracity of a premise (which would make you a flip-flopper and wrong) or point to some unstated assumption. My guess is that you will say I assume that racism is a bigger problem than it really is (in your minds). In that case, the argument comes down to a question of the "quantity" of racism in the US. There's lots of empirical evidence to support the notion that its ubiquitous, and none to support the opposite. Please refer to America's Promise Alliance for an enormous data set on the effects of race and socio-economic status (the two are almost indistinguishable in the US) on one's life.
Are you basing your argument on anecdotal evidence derived from a life time as a white male? Bravo.

Terming it as a 'raw deal', former international Shantha Rangaswamy told thatscricket.com in an exclusive interview that she did not subscribe to reasons - whatever - that necessitated the last minute swapping of the coach of the Indian team that recently toured New Zealand for the World Cup.
Rumour has it that Women's Cricket Association of India (WCAI) chief Anuradha Dutt was not satisfied with the way the preparatory camps were conducted, especially the fitness and running between aspect of the game and hence the change. However Shantha begs to defer.
" The Indian team's fielding and running between was as good or as bad as it was in 1997 when Srirupa handled the team," the former Indian captain said. "However, I was shocked that Sudha agreed to accompany the team as the Administrative Manager," Shantha added.
Reasons that players were too friendly with Sudha were found to be petty and stupid in Shantha's opinion as she let us in on the fact that in 1994 as the team coach she was left high and dry when she was sacked without having been given the logistics (word has it that it was for the very same reason).
"Respect doesn't mean maintaining a distance. In fact, the players were getting along well with Sudha. Players should be fully free to vibe and discuss matters with the coach.
"If stand up on the bench attitude is to be utilised then one might as well employ an army officer," was Shantha's lament.
Dwelling more on her unceremonious exit during the 1994 Australia series, she mentioned how while in Pune she overheard WCAI officials talking of her being replaced by Srirupa for the coming tour. She had then offered to withdraw with immediate effect, she however had not quoted the reason.
But she stayed back to complete the assignment heeding to requests from Anuradha Dutt, because having done so mid way through the series would not have reflected well in the press circles.
So in her opinion it is no surprise that Sudha was dealt harshly for Srirupa has, for sometime now, been the be-it-all in the eyes of the chief. She however felt Sudha did her self wrong in having travelled along with the team for she was completely relegated to the backstage and that was something that was hard to bear.

After years of working with Virgin label, Jackson had decided to work with Island and signed a deal with the label in 2007. The Rhythm Nation hitmaker released her label debut, Discipline earlier this year, but when the album sales failed to meet her expectations she expressed her dissatisfaction with the label, reports China Daily. The popstar stated that the label did not promote her album well and stopped all promotion whatsoever on the album. Earlier this month, she hinted about potentially severing ties with the label to Billboard, stating, I cant say if well be working with them in the future. I dont know what the future holds between the two of us. The label agreed to dissolve its relationship with the artist at her request and the two separated amicably, confirms Jackson?s publicist.

The Joy of Distance Learning
Ten years later, this concept still hasn't caught on as well at the high school -- or college -- level as it could have. So there's a certain genre of "gee, isn't this cool?" article that runs about these programs whenever they're launched. For one example, see this recent Baltimore Sun article called "Technology Goes the Distance for Students." These Maryland students now have the option of taking advanced math classes without going to community colleges, which is logistically easier for all involved.
Any lecture-style class can lend itself to this format. Since most 101-level classes at college fit this mold, too, it begs the question: Why not adopt distance learning for higher education more broadly? If you think about it, there's no real reason for multiple versions of Econ 101. One awesome lecturer, nationwide, could be recorded giving the basic lessons, perhaps with computer simulations that class members could do on their own PCs, all at the same time. Grad students or other faculty could lead short break-out sessions once a week to answer questions and go over homework. Of course, this would make it seem a little more odd that some universities charge much more than others. But it would probably raise the quality of most basic college level courses and create lots of efficiencies.
The distance learning model is much harder to make work for discussion-oriented classes (which would include good literature classes). Still, a few programs such as Stanford's EPGY, and Northwestern's Gifted LearningLinks, are starting to fill the void.
This is a long time in coming. The biggest problem for gifted learners is that they are so rare. In order to have enough highly gifted kids to form a class, you need a broad geographic reach for a school. This doesn't work well if kids need to go to one place to meet with certain teachers, unless you live in a big city. There are enough highly gifted children within New York City's 8 million residents to justify a high school like Stuyvesant. There probably aren't so many highly gifted kids in a rural area. With distance learning, these obstacles start to disappear.
9 comments:
Distance learning *sounds* good, but the reason it is still rare is that it often does not work very well. In classes with both in-class and distance learners, the in-class ones usually have better attendance and better grades than the distant ones.
(Sorry, no hard data on that---just anecdotal information from professors who have talked such mixed classes.)
Learning is often a social experience, and the isolation of distance learning is often not motivating.
The option of distance learning needs to exist, particularly for those who are too isolated or too young to travel to classes, but it is not the panacea that you seem to think.
Of course, teachers everywhere object to the notion that only one "super lecturer" is needed in the whole country, so are unwilling to support experiments designed to cause them to be fired.
There is something disconcerting about the idea of everyone getting the same lecture from one person. I don't think one person should have that much power over what our kids learn.
Also, people have different learning styles so we need a variety of educational approaches. One size doesn't fit all!
I know I've seen articles that indicate young children (and infants? I can't recall) learn far better from a human in the room than from a recording. IIRC, interaction improved over canned video but was better still if there was an adult present and doing the interaction. (I'm having trouble getting my search criteria narrow enough to turn up the articles I want. This article is close, but not the one I recall.)
Point is, if this is true for young children, perhaps there is also an effect later in life.
Though I have to agree that distance learning always sounds good to me too.
Sorry, bad link...
try this
The technique of having a group of students watch a video of a lecture and stop every twenty minutes to discuss it works better than having the students watch the lecture in person. This suggests that gathering gifted students into small groups to provide the social interaction is a viable option to having them travel longer distances to attend large classes or schools for the gifted.
- Gramatrick said...
This blog post comes at an interesting time, as I have a meeting with my child's elementary school principal later on today to discuss using a distance learning option (from Johns Hopkin's CTY program) as a substitute for classroom math. I'd like to try it and see if it works and I'm hoping the administration will sign off on it.
This is an all G/T class in a primarily G/T school (whatever that means), but even with enrichments, the teacher feels strongly that he needs more challenge than she can provide.
The other option on the table is acceleration to middle school for math (he's in the 4th grade). I am not convinced this is a good fit given his personality and the logistics involved (meaning he would miss science or recess, subjects he enjoys & looks forward to).
I'm not sure if this approach will be the solution to our particular challenge, but I think that distance classes of this sort may have something to offer the gifted learner. We shall see, won't we? I'm all for giving it a try.
Our experience is that a little distance learning at a time is about all we can take and I've heard many parents say the same thing. It can feel really isolating to spend so much time on a computer instead of in the presence of real people. It can be so frustrating to do work and wait days to get a response only then to wonder about the tone because you couldn't see the person.
Because teachers aren't getting feedback and distance learning students are more likely to drop out, it can lead to heaping on the busy work and of course that's a big enemy for most gifted kids.
Distance learning can also be a relatively cheap way for a school to stick a kid in the corner on a computer instead of giving them what they really need. I know our school system uses it as an excuse to deny grade skipping.
For some kids in some situations, distance learning can be a big help. But, I'm far from willing to consider it a great overall solution. Learning is a social experience and most of our kids need more positive social contact, not less.
Most universities like to see objective proof that an individual will succeed. If they are looking at schools in the United States it would make sense to have the child take the SAT. This will carry more weight than parental reports of test performance.
I agree with most comments. DL is a great option to have available but NO substitute for lectures, much less for group work.
It may be good manners, or just that I'm accustomed to use TV as background noise, but I pay much more attention to a live person.
Also, a good lecture is a performance act. How different it is for you to go to a live concert instead of just watching on TV ?
What I think we need more of is to allow the option of separating testing from teaching. Think CLEP, AP or industry certifications rather than NAEP. Having the ability to 'test out' of classes will increase flexibility a lot.

You should contact local attorneys to discuss whether you can ask a court to issue an order prohibiting the brother in law from having any contact with you or your daughter.
The order itself will not keep you or your daughter safe if the brother in law ignores the order. You still need a plan to keep you and your daughter safe.
However, the order will provide the government a basis to charge the brother in law with criminal law violations if he violates the order. Being convicted may expose the brother in law to deportation from the US.Ask a similar question
I would agree with my colleagues that you should definitely consult with an attorney that has experience with both restraining/stay away orders and also immigration law. my office does handle both types of situations and can help advise you of all your legal rights. While a restraining order may just be a piece of paper to the perpetrator, it does give you legal remedies should he violate those orders, which could include deportation. Good luck!
The above is general legal and business analysis. It is not "legal advise" but analysis, and different lawyers may analyse this matter differently, especially if there are additional facts not reflected in the question.

"A truly wonderful day visiting this area of Ireland. A very informative and friendly guide/driver who kept us informed and entertained. The Rock of Cashel is very interesting with a long history and Cork was a great place to stop for lunch and to shop before moving onto Blarney Castle. ...Russell M., Australia – See more reviews
What To Expect
This tour will take you on a voyage of history visiting a castle, a monastery and Cork city itself.
We depart at the crack of dawn leaving Dublin and passing by the Guinness Factory and also College Green Tourism Office. On the way, you will learn more about the sights that we pass in the city center. As we leave Dublin behind, the urban landscape changes to that of the rolling hills and constant hedges of the Irish countryside. We'll pass an area called The Curragh in County Kildare. This area is ideal for training horses, due to the sandy soil that creates excellent drainage, making it an ideal spot for horse racing. Not surprisingly, the Curragh race track is situated nearby. County Kildare is also well known for horse breeding and vast tracks of lands today are owned by the likes of the Agha Khan and Sheik Mohammed. Close to Kildare Town, you will find the National Stud Farm, world famous for its horse breeding, coupled with the lovely Japanese Gardens.
After a short stop over to stretch our legs, we pass the Knockmealdown Mountains, made famous by the folk song "Kitty Borne O'Brien." This song is a lover's lament for a young woman who emigrates from Ireland to Canada. Like most Irish songs it is either about a broken heart or fighting with the English! Further along the way, we will see the Galtee Mountains, Ireland's highest inland mountain range, with its stony scree-covered summit- but more on the Galtee's under our "Of special interest" section. This is also a famous cheese making area in Ireland. Tipperary is also home to hurling although Kilkenny their neighbour seems to beat them most of the time! Keep your eyes out for handball alleys while on the bus, a traditional sport played mostly in rural Ireland.
We arrive at Blarney Castle and half the day's driving is already done! Blarney Castle, famous for its Blarney Stone, also has lovely wooded walks and "Rock Close"- a garden filled with Druidic rock formations, believed to be dating back to pre-historic times. To kiss the Blarney Stone, you have to bend backwards when on the parrifits of the castle, holding onto iron railings- basically hanging upside down. The reward for your efforts: to be bestowed with the so-called "gift of the gab."
We arrive in Cork City, where we have 2 hours to maybe grab some lunch at the English Market (now with a very international flavour), go marvel at the Gothic St. Finbar's Cathedral, or even ring the bells of Shandon at St. Anne's Church for a small fee. Cork is home to Murphy's Ale and the Ford Tractor factory.
At the Rock of Cashel, we visit this great Celtic Cathedral, which includes the Hall of Vicars, Cormack's Chapel, which has one of Ireland's oldest Romanesque wall paintings and the Round tower, all perched on a solid rock ringed by a curtain wall. This Rock of Cashel, is the seat of the archbishop of the diocese of Cashel and is the sight where the historical synod of Cashel. It dates back from before there Anglo-Norman conquerors and contains an amazing collection of architecture, history and Romanesque art.

Natural is beautiful, so they say, but most if not all of us women at some point in time have thought of enhancing a part of our body that causes us quite a discomfort in our own skin. Our breast size for example is an indication that we're not created equal. It can either cause many of us psychological angst or total confidence. If only it's something we can put make up on and then, voila, transformation done, we're now a D cup from a deflated A cup! While the world of cosmetics has nothing like that yet, you may have probably heard about Total Curve already and that's why you're reading this. Like you, I wondered if this could be an alternative for women who don't see surgery as an option. So I'm sharing my in-depth research about this product to help you know whether or not it's a bummer.
What is Total Curve?
Total Curve is a product from Leading Edge Health, a company created by medical professionals and has been providing various products from anti-aging, skincare, to sexual health products since 1999. Total curve is a breast enhancement therapy program that employs a double-action formula to aid in reshaping and toning your breasts. Apparently, without the need for surgery, this natural alternative will help you get your desired look and size by a daily intake of natural supplement and application of topical gel.
