Breaking Boundaries
Art and identity. An interview with Peregrine Honig
An internationally recognized artist who calls Kansas City home, Peregrine Honig uses her work to explore issues of gender, sexuality, identity and cultural trends. With Unicorn, her most recent exhibition—and first solo show in Kansas City in nearly a decade—recently wrapped up, we caught up with Honig to discuss art and the driving forces behind it, Kansas City and her plans for the upcoming year.
Kansas City Spaces: How would you describe your style of art?
Peregrine Honig: I don't think of artwork as having a style so that's a hard one. I make my work. I would say that most of the things I'm interested in exploring or having a conversation about are aspects of the gray area when it comes to early sexual identity or the ways that we view people and the ways that we transition as a culture. I think that desire is the energy of evolution, so I'm very much interested in what it is and how they dress and how they narrate themselves in the context of attraction. I'm driven by things. I'm driven to understand what confuses me and to learn about people in subclasses who identify themselves differently than what we consider to be conventional. And I'm interested in the difference between gender and sexuality and the language that people use to explain themselves.
Part of what is interesting about being an artist is it's not a linear situation. You are standing in the bisection of your future and your path. This desire is the energy of evolution. How will I move forward and what does it look like? How will I love things? What is my form of love and grace and understanding and what does it look like when I produce something? There's something simple about it. Some of the most beautiful pieces of art in the world are the most beautiful and simple things.
KCS: What do you like about the art community in Kansas City?
PH: It's interesting to be in the Midwest having grown up in San Francisco. It's a different culture to navigate. But I love Kansas City; it's my chosen home. It's where I'm comfortable making things and doing things. I think K.C. is interesting because there's a resistance. It's a really good place to make work. There is a level of fiscal and conceptual support. There's a lot of collaboration between different mediums and generations of artists, which I don't find to be absolute in other cities. There's a rich history of makers.
KCS: What will you be working on in 2015?
PH: I'm looking forward to a very productive year. Birdies turns 12 this February 14th, so I guess Danielle Meister and I need to start planning our business' bat mitzvah. I'm working with a fantastic team to produce and sell transgender undergarments and ready-to-wear pieces under the umbrella All is Fair. In spring I'll be traveling to China and working with leaders at the Guanlan Printmaking Base to curate an exhibition of contemporary printmaking artists from China that will be brought to Kansas City in 2016 or 2017, thanks to Hugh Merrill. I've been working with Hilary Glynn of Pizzabella and Landon Vonderschmidt on two cookbooks, for which I'm doing the artwork. I'm starting a large dance project with Concept Zero. And I'm Heidi Van's creative collaborator at The Fishtank; we are writing a play together that should be hilarious.

Panasonic PDP Wins With Value, Contrast
Retailers singled out a 3,000:1 contrast ratio and bright picture as the leading factors behind the success of Panasonic's second-ranked plasma display panel — the PT-42PD3-P — last year.
"A combination of value — Panasonic is less expensive than many models — and picture quality was a winner for that product," said Tom Campbell, spokesman and advisor to West Coast specialty chain Ken Crane's . "They had a better than 3,000:1 contrast ratio, which is outstanding."
John LaRegina, senior buyer for New York-area TV/appliance chain P.C. Richard and Son, agreed.
"They developed a screen for that product that eliminated a lot of glare," he said. "It has a really well made anti-reflective flat panel. On the floor it just jumped off the wall."
Noah Herschman, Tweeter marketing VP, pointed to a strong cosmetic appeal added to an already hot flat-panel form factor as a sales driver.
"Panasonic makes very good products, and their plasma TVs are outstanding looking," he offered.
LaRegina noted that Sony and Panasonic "are fighting it out in the 42W-inch screen size," for top positioning, but availability issues hurt Panasonic. "We sold more of the Sony, but only because we had some supply problems. I would have sold twice as many [of the PT-42PD3-P] if I had them," he said.
In general, retailers said, the plasma category is rapidly growing into a major factor, causing the stores to install plasma and LCD display deparments.
"Plasma is pretty easy to sell right now. It's gone from being 3 percent of our sales to being 8 percent of our sales, and it is closer to 13 percent in our Sound Advice stores, Herschman said. "Right now we are merchanding them in our sound rooms, but we are working on getting a better consolidated flat panel display."
Tweeter, he said, advertises the plasma category heavily and has used the Panasonic PDP in many of those spots.
"There is nobody who doesn't want one of these things and the best thing about it is that the wife acceptance factor is very, very high," he said.

This series looks at US stock market seasonality on various timeframes. The Fama-French (FF) daily book-to-market (B/M) portfolios are used.
Marketsci has posted extensively on this topic, showing that "strong" and "weak" days tend to persist on a walk-forward basis.
This analysis is slightly different in that calendar days are used rather than trading days. Daily return is plotted against day of the month from 1984-2014.
The trendline shows that calendar days 1,2 and 25-31 have higher average returns than other days, irrespective of where the weekend falls.
Holding the FF large value portfolio on days 1,2 and 25-31 results in the following equity curve (frictionless). Annual return is 10.2% with an exposure around 25% and 12 trades per year.
It's interesting that even during the last 2 recessions, these days perform well. (See 2000-2002 and 2008).
This may work better with the addition of short term entry and exit triggers but I have yet to investigate. The intent of the equity curve is only to illustrate the principle.
Next up: day-of-year seasonality.

Do you hate reloading while having a knex war?
Then I present to you......
The KOR
It's my first ible so don't be too rude
It's a oodammo repeater with a huge magazine.
It's long gone so please dont ask me to post it.
Lets do the pros and cons shall we?
Huge magazine i think more then 30 oodammo......wow.......
Iron sights
Fast firing interval
Piece economic design
Comfy handle and stock
True trigger
Very long reload time
Jams rarely (last 3 bullets)
Stock can be a little weak
Advanced builders can make it of the pictures..
sadly i don't have more pics of it :(
6 Discussions
Good! :)
Pretty good! 4*
But what does
mean? It's in like every image note
Does what mean?
KOR means Knex Oodammo Repeater
i hope you know what knex means
Oodammo is a special ammo made with a white rod and red connector (i used blue rods)
a Repeater is a gun with a pin that can be pulled back very fast so you have a high ROF without being an (semi)auto
The repeater thing is a good combo with the huge magazine because you can shoot fast without having an empty mag very fast
I know, what I meant was: < / br > without spaces, that is in like every image note
i know what you mean, it has to be your pc because i don't see any.

LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Wednesday she would push for enhanced sanctions against Russia at a summit of EU leaders later this month.
"I will be pressing to ensure that we maintain sanctions against Russia," May told parliament. "Indeed, I think there are some areas where we should be enhancing that sanctions regime."
Relations between London and Moscow hit a post-Cold War low earlier this year after the poisoning of a former Russian spy in an English city that Britain blamed on Russia.

The title says it all, that is who we are. I have seen it far too often, adults critizing our generation
for constantly being connected.
Now allow me to defend my fellow teenagers. To be honest there are many older adults today who do not understand how the 14-21 age group thinks. I feel like this is the same with every new generation. In the future I'm sure I will not understand how my children think. That is because the world is constantly changing.
I feel the previous generation was caught in the middle. Young enough to understand and use this new technology effectively, but too old to understand why teenagers today use it so heavily. We as young adults have grown up with this technology our entire lives. We are the first generation to be able to use this technology to learn, to connect with others, and to grow as a culture.
We have so much more information literally at our fingertips, that we can look up in a matter of seconds any time of day. We now can efficiently look up just about anything with out having to fish through several outdated books.
This new technology we have come accustomed to has allowed us connect with people all over the world with sites like Facebook and Twitter. Some may argue that our attention spans have been compromised with this new technology, I think of it as we are more efficient. We have the abiity to multi task better than anyone else.
Who else can juggle their Facebook conversations, manage their Twitter feed, be texting friends, all while listening to both the television and their music and still get their homework done? If that isn't efficient multi tasking I don't know what is.
So to those of you who criticize my generation and this new technology, you better get used to it because it is not going away, and neither are we.

Roopkund became famous when large number of Human bones were reported. After that explorers and scientists have tried to explain the mystery but it helped in deepening the mystery rather solving it. Two theories have emerged and one is that these bones are of Gen. Zorawar Singh of Kashmir and his men who were coming back after raiding China-Tibet in 17th Century. Second opinion, which is also believed by locals, is that large numbers of people visiting Homkund were trapped in avalanches and snowstorms and got killed. Not even a single man survived to tell the true story. It is situated in CWM of Trishul and this is again a positive factor for unpredictable change in weather in Himalayas.

As work around, you can export the scene from BlendLuxCore and than do the rendering with LuxCoreUI (included in the LuxCoreRender standalone version) where there are options for periodic saving the film (and the rendering for a later resume).

If I had made a statement with which I had asked you to agree, I might.
However, I only asked a question. Namely: Do you write anything that is
positive about old testament scripture? You answered yes and then
pointed me to it. I say thanks. More of such would be nice.
The fact that "nobody agrees with you" is no surprise. Nobody agrees
with with anybody on this list for more than a microsecond.

If you have a) oodles of cash and b) a certain little someone who you long to spoil, I've got some awesome suggestions.
Let's face it: We all want a Pleo of our own. At least I know I do.
Alternately, if Pleo's out of your price range, you could opt for one of the FurReal Friends. Some of them are pretty cute. The pony might be a bit much, though.
If you want a beautifully constructed, classic stuffed toy, you can't go wrong with Steiff. My pick is Admiral the Penguin.
For a more active sort of kid/kid at heart, check out this rad folding sled; it's nuts (and looks like the Terminator).
And if you must encourage the budding geeks, how about a authentic(ish) lightsaber?
Just don't get this scary-ass Robotic Panda. Eek.

James Ward Prowse could become Steven Gerrard's long-term replacement in the England team ahead of Euro 2016.
Roy Hodgson has confirmed that he is keeping tabs on the Southampton youngster's progress, especially after some starring performances for Gareth Southgate's under-21 side.
The 20-year-old has scored three times in 13 appearances for the under-21's and had started the season in fine form with Southampton before a foot injury ruled him out until the turn of the year.
Deep-lying role
Ward Prowse will have to see off Jack Wilshere if he wants to make the deep-lying role his own, but the backing from the England boss will do his confidence the world of good.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror about the future for England, Hodgson confirmed that the position the Southampton academy product prefers is one he is definitely interested in deploying him in.

Set piece specialist
''Ward-Prowse is a player we think has got an interesting future in that position. He's injured but I don't believe I'm going to be stuck for choice.'' he said.
One of the features of Ward Prowse's game is his passing range and his ability to deliver a killer set piece.
He is a regular corner and free-kick taker for Southampton, and won the goal of the tournament award in Toulon when he scored a superb freekick for England under-20's against Brazil.

This adds another dimension to his game and one that the senior side are somewhat short of. Wayne Rooney and Leighton Baines are the current front-runners for free-kick duties, but Ward Prowse's inclusion would add another strong candidate into the mix.
Gerrard replacement?
With Steven Gerrard retiring from international football following this summer's World Cup, the England team are lacking a real pass master who can dictate the tempo of a game.
Jack Wilshere likes to make forward runs and dart into the box, whereas Ward Prowse is more of a deep-lying playmaker. a combination that would perfectly in tandem.
With Ward Prowse coming deep to get on the ball with Wilshere advancing, Hodgson will surely be keen to build the future team around the midfield duo, one that will certainly leave England in very safe hands whilst in possession for a long time to come.

Product Description
'The Cosmology of the Bhagavata Purana'.
From the flat earth to the sun's chariot, traditional spiritual texts often seem wedded to outmoded cosmologies that show, at best, the scientific limitations of their authors. The Bhagavata Purana, one of the classical scriptures of Hinduism, seems, at first glance, to be no exception. However, a closer examination of this text reveals unexpected depths of knowledge in ancient cosmology. Mysteries of the Sacred Universe shows that the cosmology of the Bhagavata Purana is a sophisticated system, with multiple levels of meaning that encode at least four different astronomical, geographical, and spiritual world models.
By viewing the text in the light of modern astronomy, Richard Thompson shows how ancient scientists expressed exact knowledge in apparently mythological terms. Comparison with the ancient traditions of Egypt and the Near East shows early cultural connections between India and these regions-including a surprisingly advanced science. However, quantitative science is only part of the picture. Mysteries of the Sacred Universe also offers a clear understanding of how the spiritual dimension was integrated into ancient Indian cosmology.

3-Stage Rocker
Shawn has had his name and hands involved in the designs of Liquid Force's top-selling pro model boards for 10 years and counting. He and Jimmy Redmon took characteristics from all of these amazing boards and a few features from some of the other top park boards to make a board that rides unbelievably behind a boat, but also comfortably at a park. Watson's board comes with extended edge channels, molded side fins, and attachable quad fins to give you a confident hold while cutting into the wake. An elongated X pattern is forged in the top of the board, giving a more rigid feel for wake riding, but with three Liquid Rail flex zones at the tips, the board still has a playful feeling at the park. The FlexTrack allows you to dial in your exact stance and gives you an unmatched connection to the board. If you're spending more time behind the boat, but love taking laps at your local park occasionally, Shawn's version of the Dose may be just right for you!

Dental offices are mostly established in communities or neighbourhoods. This is needed so that the members of the community can have a ready access to dental and oral health care services. You may also have your favourite dentist in your neighbourhood or the larger community where you live. However, if you relocate to a new place, you will have to start over again looking for the best dentist in your new community.
While it is relatively easy to simply look for a dentist in your new place, getting the best one for your oral and dental needs may require a little bit of investigative effort on your part. The point is you want to look for the best dentist office near you so that you don't have to go back to your favourite dentist in the community or neighbourhood you came from.
First things first. You need to know exactly what you are looking for. Since most dentists provide general dentistry services, you might want to consider looking into your special dentistry needs. For example, if you have a dental brace then perhaps a dentist that has experience and expertise in orthodontic devices would come in handy. If you have missing teeth or even severely infected teeth, then an endodontic specialist might be of help. The point is for you to look far and beyond the usual general dentistry services.Get more informations of Queens Dentist
Strike a conversation with your next-door neighbour or even the grocery store clerk down the corner of the street. Chances are they know a dentist who can provide the dental services that you are looking for. Oftentimes attending church services is a good way to ask for information about dentists in town. Many parishioners would simply love to provide you with the kind of assistance that you need. They might even be able to point you to the best dentist office near you. Local community leaders or even those in your neighbourhood associations may also have the information you seek. You just have to be upfront yet respectful in asking for information.
Now of course if you are the shy type, there is another way. Surely, you must have a Smartphone, a tablet, or even a computer that can connect to the internet. Use this to search for locally listed dental offices. You can make your search criteria very specific so that you will have the best possible results specifically suited to your needs. Now, these organic search results should give you a list of available dental offices near your place. The next thing you have to do is to look for any feedback or even review on these dental offices. Be particularly wary about all-praises and all-complaints types of reviews.

National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo for short [or Nano for even shorter]) is just around the corner. For anyone who's unaware of what it is, people around the world challenge themselves to write a novel of at least 50,000 words during the month of November. That's 50k in 30 days, or ~1,667 words per day on average.
I'm a NaNoWriMo veteran, having completed the challenge in the past seven years, and I'll be going for my eighth win this year. I also set myself higher targets, my highest being 200k, although this year I'm "only" going for 150k.
So I thought I'd share my personal top 10 tips to help enable people to have a successful Nano:
1. Write every day. If you can get 1,667 words written every day, you'll hit 50k by the end of the month. However, there may be days where you just don't feel like writing, where you feel like taking a break. However, I would still advise you to write something every day, even if you only write 100 words. It will help to keep things moving, if only a little bit. If you choose not to write anything one day, then that one day may turn into two days, and then three, and then...
2. Tell everyone you know that you're doing NaNoWriMo. Tell your parents, your brothers and sisters, your children, your entire extended family, everyone you work with/go to uni with/go to school with, random strangers in the street, random cats in the street... The more people you tell about what it is you are doing, the more questions you'll get about it. And if you tell them about your wordcount, one of the things they'll ask you about during the month is how your wordcount is going. Once you have a lot of people invested in your progress, it will help to spur you on, getting you closer to your goal.
3. If you can, break your day's writing into chunks. Trying to write 1,667 words in one go can be quite difficult – even for Nano veterans like me! If you're finding it difficult, break it into smaller chunks. 417 could be your new favourite number – that's a quarter of what you need to write each day. Then find times in your day when you can write. Say, 30 mins in the morning before you leave the house, 30 mins at lunchtime, and two 30 mins periods in the evening, say, as soon as you get home, and shortly before you go to bed. If you can write 417 words in each of these periods, and you do that every day for 30 days, you'll reach a total of 50k. And 417 is a much less scary number that 1,667.
4. Accept the fact that you're only writing a first draft of a novel, and are therefore not expected to be producing you're greatest writing. Yes, you may find that a lot of what you write is crap (this is certainly true for many of the first drafts of novels I've written!). But every novel goes through this process. Even well established writers like Stephen King and J. K. Rowling will struggle to produce solid gold in their first drafts. If you think that what you're writing is bad, just keep going. By pushing on you may find yourself writing a few nuggets of gold, which you can polish up in future months as part of the editing process.
5. Don't make life too easy for your characters. Say your characters are in town A, and they need to get to town B. They could just drive there. But a straightforward drive may not produce many words. So have something happen during the drive. Maybe the car breaks down. Maybe they encounter a hitchhiker. Maybe a storm brews up and they have to get off the road to stay safe. Make things happen. (And I'm sure you can come up with more creative ideas than these!) You may feel that such events may detract from your main plot, but you may feel that they reveal details of a subplot, or details about your characters which you weren't aware of before. You may feel that such scenes aren't helping to move your novel forward, but I advise writing them anyway. You may surprise yourself. Novels where everything is too easy for your characters can be boring. Set them challenges on the way to their goals. And, if you find that these scenes are genuinely not helping the structure of your novel, that's fine. You can edit them out in future months. But November is for first drafts, so go ahead and experiment with such scenes – just don't delete them before the end of the month.
6. Have an end point for your novel in mind. I always have a big twist towards the end of my novels, which I always look forward to writing. If you have an exciting end in mind for your novel, striving towards it can help spur you on during the tough middle part of the month.
7. Write with other people. Many regions (and I know this is certainly true for the London region which I'm a part of) will arrange numerous write-ins where many wrimos will gather and write together, often in silence. These can really help to push your wordcount on. I've heard several people say that they would never have won Nano if it weren't for their attendance at write-ins. And if there are no write-ins where you are, why not set some up yourself?
8. Take part in Word Wars. This is where two or more people challenge themselves to write as many words as possible during a set period of time. These time periods can range from as little as 5 mins, to as long as the whole 30 day period of NaNoWriMo. There are usually no prizes for winning a Word War, other than the satisfaction of beating your opponents. However, everyone who takes part in a Word War will get more words of their novel written, getting them closer to their goal, and that's the real prize.
9. Don't worry about what everyone else is doing. We're all taking part in the same challenge. In the latter part of the month, you may find yourself on around 30k, but then you may encounter someone who's surpassed 100k already, and still going strong. Don't let them put you off. Be proud of your 30k – that will still be 30k more than all of the people who haven't chosen to take part in NaNoWriMo. Focus on your own goals. Everyone will have their own reasons for taking part in NaNoWriMo, and you will have yours. It doesn't matter what everyone else is doing, just concentrate on what you want to do. Remember, just for taking on the NaNoWriMo challenge automatically means that you are awesome! (And, as we all know, anyone who has a six-figure wordcount target is clearly an idiot...)
10. Don't forget to eat and sleep properly. This may sound obvious, but it's important not to push yourself beyond your limits. In a previous year I wasn't eating and sleeping properly, focussing on writing instead. This weakened my defences, and I contracted a cold, which made the last week of that NaNoWriMo especially difficult. If you're hungry, eat. If you're tired, sleep. Don't make yourself ill over Nano – it's not worth it. And in the long run it will be good for your wordcount. You can write much better when you're well fed and fresh, than if you're ill. Keep plenty of food in the house, especially meals you can prepare quickly. And make sure you get sufficient sleep each night, so that when you come to write again on the next day you're fighting fit...
Well, there are my top 10 tips. They're not exhaustive, or definitive, but they should help you along to your target. If anyone has any other tips they'd like to share, please do so in the comments.

Blogger is being afucktard again, so I am saving this here for future posting on my H!P site. It's here! I was going to post about Koharu's solo debut album Mitsuboshi, which I finally got a chance to listen to today, and it's fantastic! But a little slip in the mailbox has derailed my plans for another time.
Morning Musume's 8th album, Sexy 8 Beat has dropped into my hands and it's time for a track review! (I'm leaving out the tracks already released as singles.) But first, the album itself. I have the limited edition version so I'll be commenting on that.
First off I am totally in love with the interior photo shots. The girls look beautiful. I love the black on black look. It brings the girls to the forefront and showcases their beauty very well. Plus it looks damn sophisticated.
The back cover features the girls in their Regular edition colored outfits, which I think are damn frumpy looking. Hitomi looks like she's wearing curtains. Reina is dressed the best.
Holy crap. If the whole album has this much energy it will be the best Momusu album yet. This track is fantastic and should be a single. I love the beat and the bass.
Mirai no Taiyo
A really upbeat song. Nice beat and something you could easily dance to in your car in the summertime. Features the trademark Momusu energetic Yay!
Haru Beautiful Everyday
Features one of my new favorite engrish phrases. "It's a beautiful everyday." This is a really great track from Eri & Aika. They compliment each other's vocals quite nicely. Upbeat and yet very relaxing. This is a song I can definitely hear myself humming at work in the future.
Sono Deai no Tame ni
Hitomi's first solo song! Another relaxing song. The end of the song really does a nice job of showing her vocal range. I was hoping for something a little more upbeat, but this is a nice emotive graduation song for her.
Shanimuni Paradise
Another song that has a really great beat! And yet somehow, is so relaxing! It's feel good music that is definitely for sure.
Takara no Hako
Wow! A ballad from Shigepink and Kohapink! Very relaxing. They both sound a bit nasal in this song, but it in no way detracts from the enjoyment. It'll be interesting to see it performed in concerts. I wonder what type of costumes they'll be sporting for it as well.
BE Positive!
I'm not quite sure what I could say about this track that I didn't about the others. Upbeat, fun pop stuff.

Agency Scanpartner had already made a nice animated storyboard for this film when Helmet was brought in. This was a welcomed change because it meant we could immediately start focusing on the execution.
The idea was to show how NTE empowers their region with clean power and fibre internet, by having lightbeams traveling across landscapes. We wanted these light beams to affect the world as much as possible, so we decided to do the effects for real.
We bought the most powerful yet portable light we could get our hands on, and at first built a rig to hang them from a helicopter. We started our 4-day shoot with this setup, and the results were good, but the approach didn't give us the freedom or speed we wanted. On the way to our next location, we quickly developed a new technique using multiple takes and long exposures, while moving the lights by hand, boat and car. We did some testing in after effects and decided this was the way to go.
The rest of the shoot went as planned, with two near-death experiences and an impromptu helicopter ride that ended up stranding us on a deserted island.

The Charles Potts trophy is awarded to a member who has contributed the most to the Art of Magic or the Society in the preceding year.
Charles Potts, who was a member of the Society, was an antique dealer and it is quite likely that he came across this trophy whilst conducting his business. This must have happened around 1950 or 1951 because it was awarded for the first time in 1952 to Rev. Duxbury (Genraldi). Unfortunately most of the records prior to 1952 have been lost or destroyed so more details of this trophy and its history cannot be confirmed. The Charles Potts Trophy is the oldest trophy in the Society.
If you have any more details please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com

I got this gray and white chevron fabric for Christmas and I used it to cover some pillows in my living room. I decided to use some extra fabric on this wreath. I first was inspired here to wrap fabric on this styrofoam wreath for Halloween. (Don't take note of my dirty door, it's still winter and I don't need to wash it for another 3 months, right?)
Then adding these letters made it more festive for Valentine's Day. I used pages from an old book but you could also photo copy a book instead of cutting the written word! Anyway, I need to hot glue the pendants on since my door takes a beating from the wind and now the words look like the beginnings of a Scrabble game!
On a side note, this little darling threw-up 11 times (yes 11!) last night and didn't cry one single tear! Can you say tough cookie? Not me, I feel like crying because I finally fell asleep at 5:30 but was up at 7:30, being a mom is pretty rough at times. Can you see the curls in her hair? We did the cool headband twist last night from this site but with all the trips to the toilet, the back fell out and we only got curls in the front. Maybe we'll try it again this Sunday.
Hope your household is healthier than ours!

Gold probably generates more diverse opinions than any other financial instrument or commodity. The deflationists say gold is going down to $250 while the inflationists say gold is going to $5,000 and beyond. The price action paints a much simpler picture from the cyclical/spectral standpoint. The first chart below is a monthly chart showing what appears to be a dominant eight year price wave. The filter does a good job of identifying both the highs and the lows of that wave. Trying to phase a wave of that length to a particular day at nowtime is an exercise in futility because of the relatively large margin of error due to filter lag. Nevertheless, if one projects the average period from the most recent low in 2008 into the future, the next low of that wave is due sometime in 2016 barring a large duration fluctuation. Additionally, at each of the prior 8 year lows the highpass data exhibited a monthly close below -1.5 average deviation (red horizontal line), indicating the maximum distance the 8 year wave is going to push it (somewhat analogous to an FLD projection but in the spectral domain).
Gold also exhibits some very clear intermediate price waves. The chart below is a weekly chart illustrating two of those waves. The longer wave at the bottom of the chart had a tendency over the last several years to phase to cyclical highs, (yellow arrows), a characteristic that has been discussed recently by other analysts. The shorter wave has been very dominant and consistent over the past seven years. If that dominancy and consistency persists over the next year or so, identifying the window of the next major low should be relatively easy.
There is a caveat to the above analysis. The waves shown, in terms of average period and their harmonic relationship to one another, do not fit into the standard Hurst simple harmonic, time domain model. I do not subscribe to the approach that one size (nominal model) fits all. I analyze each instrument individually to determine the character of the dominant price waves. A standard Hurst analysis of gold using his nominal model should not be that much different.

How Cash Back Credit Card Rewards Can Benefit Your Small Business
Cash back credit card rewards can benefit your small business in several ways. When you use your credit card for certain purchases, the credit card issuer will return a percentage of the total amount of the purchases to you. Cash back rewards can also be given in the form of reward points, frequent flyer miles or a cash rebate. Points can add up to equal a certain dollar amount. Frequent flyer miles can add up to be used for free or discounted travel. Cash can be credited back to the cardholder's account or issued in the form of a check. Another type of cash back reward is a "statement credit". If you spend a certain amount on specific purchases, a credit card issuer will give you a statement credit. A statement credit can lower your overall card debt. The bottom line is that small businesses can benefit from cash back credit card rewards by getting money back on eligible purchases and/or reducing their bill.
Which Business Credit Card Offers the Best Cash Back Credit Card Rewards?
This really depends on your business needs. When looking for a card with the best cash back credit card rewards, pay attention to what purchases you need to make. Since earning cash back rewards are dependent on the type of purchases you make, choose a card based on the purchases you can earn cash back rewards on. For example, the Bank of America Travel Rewards World MasterCard for Business Card offers the option to earn 3 points for every $1 spent on travel via their Bank of America Travel Center platform. This card also offers the option for you to redeem points for a statement credit to cover the cost of baggage, flights, rental cars, hotels, cruises and vacation packages. If you travel often, the Bank of America Travel Rewards World MasterCard for Business Card could be a good option for your small business.
What Else Should I Look for in a Card Besides Cash Back Credit Card Rewards?
Besides cash back credit card rewards, you should also pay attention to the fees and interest rates associated with the cards. The annual fee, introductory APR, APR after the introductory period ends, and cash advance fees are just as important as cash back rewards. For example the Bank of America Travel Rewards World MasterCard for Business card has a 0% introductory APR and $0 annual fee. There's also no international transaction fees associated with this card. Again, this would be a huge benefit to a small business owner who travels often and uses the business credit card while overseas.
Features Like Travel Protection, Overdraft Protection & Card Security are Also Important
Lastly, pay attention to whether a card offers things like travel protection, overdraft protection and card security. If you're a frequent traveler, having a card that has additional features such as travel protection, overdraft protection and card security will be important. the Bank of America Travel Rewards World MasterCard for Business Card offers all three. With travel protection, you can get up to $250,000 in trip delay reimbursement, trip cancellation coverage, lost luggage reimbursement, and travel accident insurance. Overdraft protection prevents returned checks and declined purchases. Card security comes with zero liability protection on unauthorized transactions and fraud monitoring. These are all things that a small business owner can benefit from, especially if their business requires frequent travel.
Check the Terms & Conditions to Learn More About How Cash Back Credit Card Rewards Work
I always suggest that small business owners thoroughly review the terms and conditions of all card offers before applying. Most card issuer websites outline the basic features and benefits of a card (like interest rates and annual fees). However, the terms and conditions go into greater detail about every aspect of the card. The terms and conditions will also help you better understand how the cash back rewards work for a particular card. Cash back rewards work differently for every card. So, although you may have a basic understanding of how cash back rewards after reading this blog, it's still important to check the terms and conditions of a card to determine how it works with that specific card.

The London market jumped in afternoon trading today (30 November) as oil prices surged after Opec agreed a deal to cut production.
The oil cartel announced at its Vienna meeting that its member nations will collectively agree to reduce output by 1.2 million barrels a day to 32.5 million a day, in a bid to boost prices.
The FTSE 100 Index lifted 49.6 points to 6,821.6, as Brent Crude surged more than 7% higher to $50.75 (£40.79, €48), buoying oil stocks after the cartel agreed its first output cut in eight years.
Oil major Royal Dutch Shell rose almost 5% higher, or 98p to 2,129.5p. BP was up over 4%, or 18p to 460.5p.
GKFX chief market analyst James Hughes said: "A failure to finalise a deal would have been terrible for Opec, and would show the oil cartel as impotent in the face of record high output and stubbornly low prices."
In New York the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 70 points to a fresh all-time high of 19,191 points in early trading, with energy stocks boosted by reports of the Opec production cut.
Back in London in afternoon trading the biggest risers in the FTSE 100 Index were Royal Dutch Shell (+98p to 2,129.5p), BP (+18p to 460.5p), Ashtead Group (+59p to 1,570p), Unilever (+87.5p to 3,217.5p) and Pearson (+20p to 798.5p).
The biggest fallers in the FTSE 100 Index were Capita (-28p to 529.5p), easyJet (-29p to 982p), International Airlines Group (-11p to 433.5p), Provident Financial (-69p to 2,896p) and Royal Bank of Scotland Group (-4p to 193p).
In afternoon trading the biggest risers in the FTSE 250 Index were Cairn Energy (+21p to 203.6p), Tullow Oil (+28.4p to 291.2p), RPC Group (+94p to 1096p), Hunting (+42.2p to 536p) and Brewin Dolphin Holdings (+19.2p to 282.1p).
The biggest fallers in the FTSE 250 Index were Playtech (-67p to 855p), Restaurant Group (-12p to 324.6p), Cranswick (-76p to 2251p), Greene King (-23p to 688.5p) and GVC Holdings (-21.5p to 650p).

I'm BAAAAAACK! There are no excuses for such a long absence, but I have been a little busier than usual with the university – and I'll be in the immediate future too! Recently, I've attended a course called "Ecosystemic Laboratory", which includes a series of excursions in natural parks, and I had the opportunity to learn a lot about the local flora. Here's Pulmonaria apennina, a protected species that is not very common everywhere, but in some places can be very abundant. The flowers are pink at first, and then become purple, and the leaves present many white spots (the green parenchyma in those spots is reduced). The function of the spots, if they have any, is unknown (it could be for protection from insects, like some exotic plants in which the leaves look like they've already been infested, thus prompting the insect to search some other plant) but in the middle ages people believed that, since the spots vaguely looked like alveoli in a lung, the plant was a miraculous cure for respiratory problems. It isn't, of course, but the trichomes ("hair") of the leaves caused expectoration, reinforcing the belief. It's a plant that grows in shadowy places, like the underwood, and flowers around march-april, and its main pollinators are bumblebees (genus: Bombus)

Myrmecos' Alex Wild pays a visit to Italy
Hey, apparently a while ago Alex Wild of Myrmecos visited Parma, an Emilia-Romagna city not too distant from where I live! But what was he doing there? He was in collaboration with local researchers to start a project in which the local population (in this case, elementary school kids) would be directly involved into ant research, which is totally awesome. I was really envious when I read on Wild's blog of similar projects that took place in America, because this kind of things both help researchers collect data on large territories and manages to sparkle more interest and understanding for science and biodiversity in non-scientists; since here in Italy there's basically no real support for scientific research, I thought we would never start something like that, which would have been a pity because our nation, thanks to the enormous diversity of geographic and climate conditions, has the richest biodiversity in all Europe. Well, apparently (and fortunately) I was wrong, since this new initiative follows the american model: it consist in leaving open vials containing a bait (usually a piece of a cookie) in various places with different conditions (grass, concrete…), wait for local ants to enter them, then capture the insects. At this point, the citizen can attempt an identification, but more importently can record data on when, where, etc… the specimens where captured, then freeze the ants, pack them with the data and send them to experts, helping them to study the distribution and ecology of these amazingly important organisms. So, overall, that's great news for italian biodiversity research. One minor note to Alex Wild's otherwise excellent article: I kind of rolled my eyes reading "…the students went back inside to talk about what they had found and then, I assume, it being Parma, eat pasta and/or pizza for lunch…". It's a little bit weird. Yes, pizza and the pasta can be found everywhere in Italy, of course, but come on, you make me feel like this guy.
Face to Face: Xylocopa violacea
It's been a while since I've posted one of my photos. This one was taken in the beautiful country of Croatia, and its protagonist is a carpenter bee, Xylocopa violacea (or a similar species), a big and beautiful Hymenoptera of the Apoidea. While the most widely known of the bee species, the honeybee, is eusocial, there are various species, including Xylocopa violacea, that are solitary. The carpenter bees can be easily seen in spring and summer in many european countries, in places where there are many flowers, and they're often mistaken for the far more aggressive hornets (which are actually completely different, and part of the Vespoidea) by the common people, but, while they can sting, they won't do it unless you try to do something stupid like catching them with your bare hands. Carpenter bees lay eggs in tunnels in wood; each egg is in a chambers separated by the others by a septum made of plant parts; each chambers also contains a littleball made of nectar and pollen, so the larva has something to eat after it hatches. When their development is complete, the insects will leave their chambers in the wood and start their lives as adults.
Friday's Featured Organism: Dryococelus australis
Everyone seems to be talking about this story, and I can see why. Usually, I'm more for the protection of entire key ecosystems or group of organisms rather than single, extra-endangered species whose ecological niche is today pretty small and irrelevant, but I understand the importance that these species can have as symbols of environmental protection for common people. This story in particular seems to me really touching, although many people would probably consider Dryococelus australis, the "tree lobster" (actually a giant stick insect), an horrible animal that deserves to be extinct (and here lies the limit and the superficiality of many people's environmentalism: protect it if it's huge and famous, burn it if it's not a vertebrate). This beautiful critter was wiped out by introduced rats on its native Lord Howe island, Australia, by 1930, and was thought to be lost forever. In 2001, however, the walking stick rose from the ashes: a dangerously small population of around 30 individuals was discovered living in one of the few bushes that grows on the hellish Ball's Pyramid, a small volcano renmant in the middle of the Tasman sea, resembling a giant blade emerging from the depths of some lovecraftian underwater city. Those insects were the last of their kind, and they had survived for all that time on that forgotten rock. 4 animals were captured, only a couple survived, but it was enough: now there's a relatively stable captive population, all descendants of those two insects, Adam and Eve, and currently there are plans to try to reintroduce the tree lobster to its native Lord Howe island, after more than 80 years. If Dryococelus australis went extinct, nobody would have noticed, and I don't think there would have been any additional repercussions on the environment (maybe there were at the time it was first wiped out from Lord Howe, but I'm talking about new repercussions). It is however remarkable how this seemingly doomed bug, withouth the help of any environmental organization, scientist, or support from the general public, secretly clinged to life for more than 80 years on that forgotten rock, under a single bush, with a population of less than 30 individuals. Don't you feel that such an incredible animal, such an incredible feat of durability against all the odds, deserves to live to see another day? Don't you think it could be a symbol of biodiversity protection just as good, and probably even better, than the usual tigers, pandas and sea turtles?
Videos about Hymenoptera
Just a couple cool videos I've discovered thanks to Science Memebase. In both cases, the protagonists are hymenopterans, the group of insects that includes wasps, bees and ants. Although there are many species of solitary hymenopterans (at least in the case of bees and wasps), these critters are of course mainly known for their complex and sometimes abnormally huge societies. And these videos really seem to highlight the importance of cooperation between the individuals of these colonies.
The first video shows an incredible behaviour of fire ants that create a nearly-impossible-to-sink raft – with their bodies. I knew they could make long bridges, but I had never realized how waterproof the structures they created could be. This incredible level of coordination shows how the use of the term "superorganism" to describe these colonies is not only correct, but also mandatory.
The second video shows a classic battle between two old rivals – with a musical twist. The main characters are the european honeybees Apis mellifera and the deadly Japanese Hornets Vespa mandarinia japonica, an Apoidea and a Vespoidea respectively (both part of the Aculeata). The author o the video added an epic music track for added spectacularity, and the results are awesome. Should epic soundtracks be implemented in nature documentaries? I don't think it's such a bad idea: life is epic, give it a proper musical score.
The Japanese Hornets prey the eggs and larvae of the bees, after finding their colonies thanks to scouts sent to explore the territory. One of the coolest facts of this eternal war is the way the bees can counter the presence of a scout: they swarm on it and start vibrating their bodies until the temperature gets so high that the hornet is cooked alive. Fuck yeah.
Friday's Featured Organism: Adalia bipunctata
Adalia bipunctata, beetle of the family Coccinellidae, and fairly similar to the more commonly known Coccinella septempunctata, except it has only 2 black spots on the elytra (one for each) instead of 7. As many Coccinellidae, it's a predator that feeds on aphids and other small insects, and thus it's widely used as a biological control agent against them.
Why this organism? As a part of my degree in Biological Sciences, I have to attend a stage, and now I've finally found it, at the local Faculty of Agrarian Sciences! I'll work with an entomologist interested in agroecology, functional biodiversity and ecotoxicology of useful insects (and how agriculture and wild insects species interact in general), and one of the groups the work is more focused on is Coccinellidae. I'll start in 1-2 months, first helping around in general and then choosing a specific project to work on. It looks like it will be awesome (I surely hope it will be), so hooray for me and hooray for the ladybirds!
Friday's Featured Organism: Hippobosca equina
by Francesco Lami
This one will be longer than usual.
You know, unlike some people who say to like animals when they only like dogs, horses, cats and pets in general, when I say that I like animals, I mean it. Blue whale or jellyfish, whip scorpion or gastrotrich, they're all fascinating and beautiful in their own way. Hell, I find fascinating and important even animals that are fucking annoying like mosquitoes or even plain dangerous like parasite nematodes. But if there's something that I find very hard to like even a little bit, although it DOES have remarkable capabilities, that's Hippobosca equina.
To Hippobosca equina, I say "Fuck you".
The common english name for this critter is "forest fly", and in fact the times I've encountered it I was in the woods. I didn't know exactly what it was at the time: it was certainly a Diptera, and I suspected it was some kind of bloodsucker since it always returned stubbornly to bug me, no matter how hard I tried to drive it away. I discovered the family Hippoboscidae (louse flies) by chance navigating the internet, and it was clear that the mysterious fly was part of it, with its flattened body, long legs and that goddamn bloodsucking stylet. Discovering the exact species was easy because it turned out it was very common here in Italy. I read at Biodiversity in Focus that the reason they are flattened and have many setae on the thorax and the abdomen might be to hold on the feathers (and hair in this case, I guess) of their victims – seems a pretty good explanation to me, and the long, robust legs have probably the same function. I've never even been bitten by one of this animals, and they're much less common than mosquitoes and other bloodsuckers, so why do I hate them so much? Because their ecological speciality is drive you insane. As I've already mentioned, they're extremely stubborn; they take a hold on your skin and even if you force them away with your hand they come back in the exact same spot in less than half a second, like a goddamn living jet-powered boomerang. And that's not the worst part – they're indestructible. You simply can't kill 'em because their exoskeleton is too fucking resilient. I tried with my bare hands, with a book, I even trapped one under a tissue and repeatedly smashed it with an heavy stone, but H. equina wasn't even stunned, and continued to try to bite me. Mosquitoes and other insects have evolved not to be noticed while they bite you, and so they often succeed leaving you with unpleasant souvenirs; the forest fly just don't give a fuck: it's extremely easy to spot it and feel it on your skin, but it counts on the fact that it's so relentless that you will soon be too tired to continue to resist it (and let's not forget its near-immortality); and, since its favourite victims are horses and other animals that don't have hands to continuously defend themselves, it surely works well.

He heralded a new era for Aborigines
Frank Ellis Gare, Public servant, 1918-2003
There are a few hundred marri trees on a block south of Perth which might never have been able to spread their roots if not for Frank Gare.
Towards the end of his working life, the senior public servant would retreat to his weekender at Success, near Thompsons Lake, where he nurtured the natural vegetation. He collected marri seedlings from the roadside and watered them for two years. Soon the trees were hardy enough to survive on their own.
Often overshadowed by his talented wife of 53 years, Nene Gare - an author and artist - the distinguished bureaucrat preferred quieter and less immediately gratifying pursuits. He was reserved and unlikely to reveal his successes to strangers, but fortunately much of his work can now be recognised as the beginning of a new era for Aboriginal people.
For 17 years, Gare served as WA's last commissioner for native welfare. He was parachuted into the position by his predecessor, Stanley Middleton, while working as a district officer in Geraldton in 1962. With the position came personal responsibility for the welfare of every Aboriginal man, woman and child in the state.
Both Middleton and Gare had made a huge leap from the thinking of earlier commissioners who were better known for implementing the removal of "half-caste" children from Aboriginal mothers. The two men regarded education, housing and health care as three essential factors in the successful assimilation of Aborigines with non-Aborigines.
Though today the language in Aboriginal affairs has changed, neither man believed that assimilation meant the destruction of Aboriginal culture.
In 1965, Gare rewrote the manual for Native Welfare officers. His premise for his section on children was: "Under all normal circumstances children are best reared by their parents." His own childhood was spent travelling with his family according to his father's employment. George Emery Gare had moved to WA from South Australia with a brother, Joseph, in 1907. The pair established a farm which later had to be sold when Joseph was killed at war in France. Frank's mother, Henrietta Mulvay, was born in Queensland and moved to WA in 1912 with her family.
On completing primary school, Frank won a scholarship to Albany High School. He underplayed the significance of the award, saying he was probably the school's only student at the right age for secondary studies.
On finishing, he had the choice of two positions - as a teacher and as clerk in the public service. He took the latter and moved to Perth, where he lived in boarding houses in Adelaide Terrace. It was there that he first set eyes on Nene.
The 20-year-old Adelaide girl was on a working holiday with a friend and had permission from her strict Methodist parents to be gone no longer than three months. When her time was up, she was in love and her brother was given the task of travelling to Perth to check up on the fellow. With his approval, the marriage went ahead quickly before Gare began wartime service on the Queen Mary.
Through his memoirs, Gare often marvelled at Nene. "I have always considered myself to be very lucky to have married Nene. Apart from her appearance - she was tall, slim and beautiful - she was clever, creative and compassionate. She was my first and only girlfriend," he wrote.
Her death in 1994 was not the first time he had coped with domestic tragedy. The couple's first son, Arran, died at four of malaria near the end of the Gares' two years living in Papua New Guinea. Photographs of the boy are treasured by the family.
In 1948, a year after Arran's death, the couple honoured him by giving his name to their second son. The first daughter, Leif Frances, also went down with malaria but survived. A fourth child, Helen Shelley, was born in 1952.
Frank's duties as patrol officer on Duke of York Island, at Salamaua and Mumeng were a precursor to his welfare work in Australia. Nene used much of the overseas experience to write An Island Away.
Arran's death coincided with Gare's leave, so the family left New Guinea and returned to Perth, where he found himself desk-bound. His wife's persistent cough inspired him to leave the Commonwealth public service for a warmer climate in Carnarvon, where the couple turned their hand to banana growing and he began working for the WA Department of Native Welfare.
Two years later, he decided to devote full attention to this work and accepted a transfer to Geraldton, where he was district officer for the Murchison region. The biggest challenge was making a little government money go a long way. His priorities were meeting basic needs, including ablutions, water, shelter and power at Aboriginal reserves all over his district, but progress was slow.
He regretted the statewide application of what became known as the Geraldton House - a simple, unsealed three-room dwelling suitable only to the mid-west climate.
Nene Gare and the children particularly enjoyed Geraldton. The family often escaped to a semi-rural property at Drummond Cove, which met the ocean and was perfect for growing olives. Nene also befriended Aboriginal families living in a camp known as the Snake Pit, just outside Geraldton. Their stories helped inspire her novel The Fringe Dwellers.
When the recommendation to make Gare commissioner for native welfare was approved by state cabinet in 1962, only the premier, David Brand, had heard of him.
In the following year came repeal of much of the 1905 Native Welfare Act which discriminated against Aborigines. In 1972 the child welfare system was changed so that Aboriginal children were covered by the same legislation as other children.
Later, Gare saw to the establishment of the Aboriginal Affairs Planning Authority and creation of the Aboriginal Lands Trust. He served under the Brand, John Tonkin and Charles Court governments.
He also served on the board of the WA Museum, where regulations protecting Aboriginal artefacts from illegal trading overseas were established. In 1980 the board was embroiled in the Noonkanbah dispute after refusing an application to allow oil drilling on the station in the Kimberley. A ministerial decree finally forced approval.
A love of sailing lasted through most of Gare's life. His favourite yacht, Melita, which was ideal for family voyages to Rottnest, was sold to finance the house by Thompsons Lake. Nene Gare, who could not swim, announced she had always been scared of drowning and would not go sailing again.
Frank Gare died one day short of his 85th birthday. He is survived by his second son, his two daughters, and four grandchildren.
In retirement he had always been generous with his time, happy to help researchers and academics. His documents have been preserved, and oral histories recorded for both the Battye Library of West Australian History and National Library.

This paper describes the Pegasus framework that can be used to map complex scientific workflows onto distributed resources. Pegasus enables users to represent the workflows at an abstract level without needing to worry about the particulars of the target execution systems. The paper describes general issues in mapping applications and the functionality of Pegasus. We present the results of improving application performance through workflow restructuring which clusters multiple tasks in a workflow into single entities. A real-life astronomy application is used as the basis for the study.
