This Billionaire Just Bought Gold For The First Time In His Life
Appetite growing for the precious metal, not just from investors but also central banks, which have been net buyers since 2010.
The number of ounces in major gold discoveries has been falling for years, and exploration budgets are still far below the 2012 peak.
CIBC raised its gold price forecast this year to $1,350 an ounce, up from $1,300. The bank is also looking for $1,400 an ounce in 2020.
Billionaire Sam Zell just announced that he bought gold for the very first time in his life because, as he puts it, "it is a good hedge." In a recent Bloomberg interview, the Equity International founder and creator of the real estate investment trust (REIT) admitted to seeing an opportunity in gold's increasing supply shortage.
"For the first time in my life, I bought gold because it is a good hedge," Zell, 77, told Bloomberg. "Supply is shrinking, and that is going to have a positive impact on the price."
He added: "The amount of capital being put into gold mines is at most nonexistent. All of the money is being used to buy up rivals."
I believe Zell's reasons for investing in gold are sound, and I've discussed them in detail a number of times before. Supply is indeed shrinking. The "low-hanging fruit" has likely already been mined, and it's become prohibitively expensive for many companies to look for large-scale deposits, to say nothing of developing them. As you can see below, the number of ounces in major discoveries has been falling for years, and exploration budgets are still far below the 2012 peak.
We Believe Supply-Demand Fundamentals Look Constructive
As if to confirm Zell's reasoning, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) forecast in a report this week that a gold deficit will emerge in 2019 "on the back of stronger demand over the next two years, primarily from bar hoarding, net central bank buying and exchange-traded products ((OTC:ETFS))." Peak production, according to the bank, will occur in 2021 at close to 34 million ounces, but then decline to under 16 million ounces by 2030.
Demand isn't abating, though. We're seeing appetite grow for the precious metal, not just from investors but also central banks, which have been net buyers since 2010. According to CIBC, several central banks stepped back into the market last year, most notably the Reserve Bank of India ((RBI)), which until recently "has expressed negative sentiment around gold purchases."
CIBC raised its gold price forecast this year to $1,350 an ounce, up from $1,300. The bank is also looking for $1,400 an ounce in 2020.
But These Gold Miners Could Be Even More Effective as a Store of Value
As attractive as I think gold bullion looks right now, there could be some incredible opportunities in gold equities, which are extremely discounted compared to the S&P 500 Index.
And in an article dated January 22, Bloomberg analysts David Stringer, Ranjeetha Pakiam and Danielle Bochove point out that a good place to look for gold equities could be mid-sized producers, which have outperformed both bullion and the entire global mining industry. For the 12-month period as of January 18, four miners in particular—Kirkland Lake Gold, Northern Star, Evolution and OceanaGold—all posted double-digit performance. By contrast, the Bloomberg World Mining Index was down more than 20 percent.
Northern Star was up 54 percent for the 12-month period. The Australian producer had a phenomenal fiscal year 2018, with net profit up a respectable 3 percent even as the price of gold was in decline. Dividend payouts were raised 6 percent. And the company continues to carry no debt.
Consolidation in the Goldfields
Sam Zell's other point—about miners allocating their capital not to projects right now but to acquisitions—is also well-made. Indeed, industry consolidation is beginning to happen, which could possibly signal that the industry has found a bottom. Back in September, mining giants Barrick Gold and Randgold Resources announced a deal worth $6.5 billion, making the world's largest gold producer by annual output. That record will stand for only four months, as Newmont Mining just made public its own plan to buy rival Goldcorp for $10 billion.
The next deal to surface could be nearly as large. It's now rumored that South African producers Gold Fields and AngloGold Ashanti are interested in merging. Although the rumor has not yet been confirmed, Gold Fields CEO Nick Holland said in an interview this month that "if you are going to survive in the long term, you are going to have to look at consolidation."

Over 9 to 13 March 2015, MEDO took its iconic Treppie truck back to the wonderful entrepreneurs of Port Elizabeth. Having done a successful tour the end of 2014, the team were readier than ever to take on the Windy City armed with a brand new truck as sponsored by ISUZU Trucks. Apart from delving deep into the community searching for entrepreneurs interested in one-day workshops and long-term MEDO programmes, the team also presented at the annual ISUZU Truck conference.
'Treppie', short for entrepreneur is MEDO's socio-economic mobile incubator. Kitted with state-of-the-art technology, Treppie is able to drive into the heart of any community to offer assistance to locals looking for employment and entrepreneurs looking to take their business to the next level. "There is a significant imbalance in South Africa's economy with a high unemployment rate, especially among the black population," treppie manager Azola Qhina explained, "At MEDO, we recognize that the biggest contributor to a country's economic growth is the number of start ups. For this reason, Treppie plays a crucial role in promoting and creating entrepreneurship and therefore, building the economy one job at a time," Azola added. MEDO CEO Judi Sandrock also furthered, "We are delighted to bring the new ISUZU Treppie to communities in what we believe presents a great opportunity for us to assist in the development of emerging enterprises – a vital sector spearheading economic growth in our country. In doing this we have also created a unique opportunity for large organisations to involve themselves with these businesses and in so doing to advance their Enterprise Development and Supplier Development strategies."
Over the week Treppie was at three different locations across Port Elizabeth assisting over 120 entrepreneurs. Azola furthered that the community was especially welcoming and receptive to the project, "People are very keen to start their own entrepreneurial ventures, howver, they don't have the know-how. People appreciate Treppie because they are able to receive guidance as well as learn how to identify business opportunities."
As a project sponsored by ISUZU, Treppie will tour the country this year stopping at each of the ISUZU Truck dealerships nationwide. At this tour Treppie was even featured at the ISUZU Truck conference with the unveiling of the brand-new Treppie Truck. "Having had over four years experience with the old truck, we have come to learn what works and what the unique requirements are of the truck," Bjarke Gotfredsen, MEDO CEO explained. "We are powering all technology with Solar Cells and an Inverter, which makes us energy independent meaning we can set up shop anywhere regardless of facilities or infrastructure. We are also using state of the art technology to ensure the fastest internet speeds possible," Bjarke explained the new upgrades.
Treppie has an exciting year ahead with its nationwide tour having already commenced. Stay tuned for more news, there is definitely a lot of it to come!

For most of us working parents our kiddos Winter Break means trying to plan outings, play dates, and get-togethers to fill up the two or more weeks they are homebound. This is no small feat for the savviest scheduling parent, but for us normal folk it's a bit more challenging. There is so much unstructured time, and for a child with Special Needs, this can be a ripe breeding ground for meltdowns and challenges for the whole family. Unstructured means unexpected and unexpected means I have no idea what will be coming at me next. Can you imagine two weeks of feeling this anxiety? It's never too early to start to think about what your child's schedule will look like for the Winter Break and I'm here to give you a few ideas!
Ask your child's teacher for a "homework" packet. In the beginning of my teaching career, I would send home these packets during the break that were filled with work specific to my students IEP goals, but also some pointers on fun things to do together as a family. Your childs teacher will love that you want to keep your child goals moving in the right direction over break because this means they don't have to take 5 steps backward when their students return in January because they have lost skills.
Is your child's service providers seeing them over the break? Could you have some of them overlap so they can collaborate and work on skills together? This will help your child and their team as this will make what they are learning consistent across settings, which is important for mastery of skills. I know during breaks I like to work on fun activities such as sensory integration or paired play with a friend. Making sure your child's services don't take a break is very important as well so make sure to fill up on them while you can. This is also a great opportunity to fulfill time you and your service provider may have been absent for during the school year.
Prep your child before break starts. A few weeks prior start talking about how they will have a "break" from school. Having a calendar as a visual is helpful for this. Start to probe them for ideas on what they would like to do during their break. Is there a classmate they have asked to get together with? What type of activities do they like? During Thanksgiving Break, I set aside time every evening after dinner to have had a "Drawing Competition". This is something she is very interested in so she was very relaxed and this, in turn, provided opportunities for some great, meaningful conversations. Does your child like Legos? Why not have a Lego building competition? This can help with social skills, turn taking, flexibility, learning about winning and losing, and a host of other great skills we want them to learn.
Start checking out what's going on in your community during the holiday season. Some places are now offering "Quiet" times to help support people with Autism being comfortable in large settings without the sensory overload that can come with it. Lots of cities have monthly publications aimed at parents that list what's going on in your area during the month. Things like train rides, hiking, walking a neighborhood to look at lights, and going to a movie together (or creating a "Movie Theatre" in your own front room!) can be great incentives for children to relax and explore the world around them at their pace.
Start off your break with a schedule, visuals are always helpful! Have your child help you create this schedule and post it somewhere they will see it daily. Pool all your ideas you and your family have brainstormed and get them on the calendar! Knowing what they are going to be doing ahead of time will not only help their anxiety, but it also gives you the time and flexibility to make changes to the schedule if needed.
These are just a few suggestions to help your Winter Break go smoothly and to help create an environment of fun and calm. I hope you all have a wonderful week and Shine On!

From her new EP Bait, Militia Vox creates a video for Tina Turner's "We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)", which may have been considered daring during a time when Turner was at another career high, but all you have to do is listen to the lyrics and understand what she, songwriters Graham Lyle and Terry Britten were trying to convey with it.
The EP consists of cover versions showing some of her influences and inspirations, and you can listen to it in full below. The EP is a preview of a double album to come next year called The Villainess.

In a submission to the meeting, the Commonwealth Trade Union Group puts forward a set of priorities which Commonwealth countries should implement. They include:
- an annual Commonwealth Labour Ministers meeting to tackle the jobs crisis
- full ratification of the ILO core conventions by all Commonwealth countries
- action against modern slavery including due diligence in supply chains
- the development of a youth employment strategy with support for vocational education and quality apprenticeships
- adoption of ambitious climate plans to keep the global temperature rise below 2 degrees
- resources and support for development of small island states
- strong audit and peer review mechanisms to implement the Harare Declaration - maintaining pressure for the restoration of democracy in Fiji and for an end to persistent breaches of the Commonwealth Charter by Swaziland
- incorporating LGBTI rights in the 2018 CHOGM Declaration.
"The Commonwealth is founded on the principles of democracy, human rights and the rule of law. At a time when these values are under strong attack in every region of the world, this large gathering of national leaders in London should adopt clear and robust measures to defend democracy and human rights, create jobs and ensure economic development. With Commonwealth countries amongst those hardest hit by devastating climate disasters, a just transition to a zero-carbon zero-poverty future must be an absolute priority for the Commonwealth's member states," said ITUC General Secretary Sharan Burrow.

Business Card for: Nathaniel Hebert
Venturing into the freelance world after working at an agency for a few years, I wanted to create a business card that was timeless, clean and not overly "designed". I opted for simple font pairings, Franklin Gothic & Century, aligned on the vertical with carefully gridded baselines.
The logo itself is deceptively simple but is loaded with meaning. It stands for the "N" in my first name, Nathaniel, a bow tie, which is something I wear quite often, and the norse rune of transformation, Dagaz, which I thought appropriate since it symbolizes a successful conclusion to a passage and a new dawn.
The card was printed at "The Print House" on card stock with a matte finish.

June 14, 2000 at the King Street premises of Christies auctions – sale #6325/lot#127 – the price realised amounted to $28,332.00 + the 17% vat.
Surprise, the conch shell was scooped from the pacific ocean in a fishing net near (K'gari) Fraser Island in March 1990. It took ten years to get to market, I wonder how many hands it passed through on the way? Got to wonder who purchased it and what they have done with it . . . sitting in a safety deposit box or set to be worn? Barbara wonders how she would have responded to the owner's brief?
It is a common misconception that pearls are only produced by the pearl oyster. Some of the largest and most beautiful pearls, known as 'melo' pearls, are produced by the Melo Volute. These marine gastropods tend to congregate in deep waters but numbers are limited due to ecological influences. The pearls are produced within the protective polished interior of the shell, which accounts for the well-matched characteristic fibrous surface and the orange hue of both the pearl and the shell.
There is a lack of information on these gems, partly due to the fact that, for centuries, they have had greater appreciation in the East rather than the West. Christies believed that this was the first time a 'melo' pearl and its host have been offered together as a complete entity in a sale – subsequently realising a further £6,000.00 over their high estimate figure.

Anyway back to Kent and today I had a bit of time to go out and take some pictures. I revisited the old fish ponds that I visit regularly. The season is a bit 'slow' for images The spring growth has long gone. There is no summer colour, and the colours of autumn are still some time away.
What did show well was the reflections in the ponds and some leaves.

Six players are still alive at the Aria Casino in Las Vegas for the 2018 Super High Roller Bowl. The $300,000 buy-in SHR affair attracted 48 runners. First place was guaranteed to win $5 million, with the top 5 places paying out at least seven figures. Defending champion Christoph Vogelsang is still alive, albeit as the short stack. Mikita Badziakouski bagged up the chip lead, with Daniel Negreanu and Justin Bonomo right behind. Jason Koon and Nick Petrangelo round out the final table.
And then there were six. The 2018 Super High Roller Bowl attracted the top super-ballas in the game. The Aria Casino on the Strip hosted this annual pre-WSOP pilgrimage of high rollers. The usual cast of Germans were in attendance along with the top sharks in North America. In total, 48 runners took a shot at the $300,000 buy-in SHR Bowl title this year. The $15 million guaranteed prize pool also had a $5 million first-place prize.
Six players remain in the SHR Bowl including the defending champ, German pro Christoph Vogelsang. The champ will have a lot of work ahead of him because he limped into the final table with a short stack. Nick Petrangelo is the other short stack.
Jason Koon, fresh off his victories at the SHR Triton Series in Montenegro, is still alive. He bagged up 4/6 to end the night, but he's still in the hunt.
There's three big stacks with at least 4M, including chip leader Mikita Badziakouski with 4.2M. Justin Bonomo is third overall with a shade under 4M. Daniel Negreanu bagged up an even 4M, which was good enough for second overall.
British pro Steve "Stevie444" Chidwick bubbled off the final table in seventh place. Only the top 8 players cashed. Seth Davies busted in eighth place for a min-cash.
All the cheesecake is at the final table, with the biggest slice up top. $5 million gets awarded to the champion. Who's gonna take it down? Second place gets a decent score worth $3 million. And fifth place walks away with at least seven figures, with sixth banking $900K.
2018 SHR Bowl resumes on Wednesday in Las Vegas. You can stream the final table via the subscription service for PokerGO starting at 4pm ET or 1pm PT a.k.a. Vegas time.

Here's a little change of pace this week from my usual type of blog post. Let me know if you'd like to see more of this short story I've been working on for a while.
"A graveyard wind," Damon called the sudden breeze. "Cold and damp as a tombstone."
Damon's identical twin, Mark, said, "Makes me feel kinda shivery inside."
The boys walked past the library toward home and dinner, the sudden swirling breeze blowing orange and red leaves about their legs. In the graying twilight, Mark and Damon Damien exchanged sidelong glances, pulling their jackets tighter.
Summer was gone, and fall, with shorter days and longer nights, whispered dark promises of mystery and adventure. The night held a special fascination for the twelve-year-olds. They liked to stay awake into the early-morning hours watching October's shifting shadows.
The twins often felt things together and would look at each other with their serious brown eyes, grinning a private little grin. Damon, at times, was sensitive not only to Mark but to others as well. Mark alone knew of Damon's psychic ability.
"Come on!" Mark grabbed his brother's shoulder as he started running in the opposite direction. Converse high-tops slap-slapped against the sidewalk, squished across wet lawns, and smashed and crackled through crisp fallen leaves. Leaping short picket fences, they sped through private shortcuts like a well-trained team.
Approaching the outskirts of the Missouri village of Reding's Mill, south of Joplin, they paused at the sign that proclaimed, "City Limits – Pop. 1204." It marked an invisible border that separated them from the wilderness beyond.
"We'll be late for dinner!" Damon said. "Dad'll skin us."
"Come on! This is better than dinner."
Damon followed, usually one step behind when it came to something new or exciting. He yearned for Mark's boldness and daring, his bent for impulsive things five minutes before dinnertime. Damon found himself swept along by the force of his brother's decisions, maybe because Mark had been born two minutes earlier.
Damon saw where they were headed and knew they were going to Sky Castle. They often talked about discovering what old Mr. Caruthers was about in the ancient place, and Damon felt a tug inside him whenever they talked of it.
Their pace quickened as they sped along the high brick wall that surrounded the cemetery, past gnarled old trees, and through moonlit shadows that reached out to the racing boys. Sometimes friendly places to hide when you didn't want to be seen, the shadows tonight felt menacing, almost tangible, living beings that grew from the dismal graveyard depths.
Damon stumbled when he felt one of the long shadows reach for his ankles. Eyes wide, he recovered his balance and breathed easier when he saw the shadows still lying darkly across the road.
Why did we have to come here tonight?
He raced to catch Mark.
Past the cemetery and fifty yards around the bend in the road lay the entrance to the Caruthers estate. Slowing as they rounded the curve, they stopped short of the great wrought-iron gate.
"Over the wall," Mark said. "That old gate'll probably creak if we try to open it."
They climbed thick vines growing over the six-foot stone wall and dropped into the high grass behind a sturdy oak, where they could survey the grounds from afar.
The ancient Scottish castle loomed against the sky like some great dark hulking predator, having been transported, stone by stone, to Reding's Mill ninety years before. The twins had heard the usual haunted-castle tales—grisly torture chambers and mutilated victims—which kept away most of the curious. Damon didn't put much stock in the rumors, but he thought about them as they crouched behind the oak's trunk, fifty yards from the castle walls. They had never ventured this close before.
"Let's see what's in those windows," Mark whispered, pointing to several small windows at ground level.
"Maybe that's where the torture chamber is." Damon's voice sounded small and shaky.
"Yeah. Come on."
A short sprint brought the breathless pair up against the castle wall.
"Yuck! Feels just like a tombstone," Damon said.
Mark squatted beside one of the windows and peered into the darkness.
"See anything?" Damon asked.
"It's too dark. Can't see nothin'."
"Probably just as well. Let's go. We've already gotten closer than any other kid in town. This place makes me feel weird."
"You and your weird feelings. Come on. Let's try a couple more windows."
"They're all too—"
The sudden creaking of an unoiled hinge immobilized the boys, who flattened themselves against the wall. Mark inched his way along, edging one eye just beyond the corner.
"Mark! Come back!" hissed Damon, hurrying to catch up.
A tall dark figure, cloaked and cowled, stood at the shadowy main entrance, then moved into the pale moonlight and stood atop the wide granite steps, gazing across the grounds.
Mark turned to Damon, put his lips to his brother's ear, and whispered, "Something's out there, tall as a giant. Look!"
"Geez, we've had it now. I don't wanna look!"
Mark dared another peek but jerked his head back as the hooded head turned to look straight at the boys' hiding place.
"Let's make a run for it!" Mark said. "I don't think he'll see us if we head for the wall behind the castle."
They slithered along till they reached the building's far corner, and then made a headlong sprint for the wall. Damon beat Mark to it, and without looking for a foothold, jumped, grabbed the rough stones, and pulled himself atop the fence. Mark scrambled up behind, and they both started to jump to safety.
"Look!" said Mark, glancing over his shoulder.
Damon felt goose bumps when he saw the forbidding figure standing at the corner where they had been seconds before. A long arm lifted from the folds of the black cloak, pointing at him.
"He's seen us! Jump!"
They hit the ground and sprinted through the small grove separating the estate from the road, arms pumping, the wind whistling in their ears, fallen leaves scattering in every direction. They burst out of the wood onto the road and didn't slow down until they reached the city-limits sign once again.
Here's a little change of pace this week from my usual type of blog post. Let me know if you'd like to see more of this short story I've been working on for a while.

Probably the fleshiest wall you'll ever see (architecturally speaking…) is Michelangelo's final touch to the Sistine Chapel, known as The Last Judgment.
He added this wall twenty years after he was done painting the rest of the chapel, and went all out with this finishing feast of flesh. Yup, you can always count on this turtle to deliver a healthy amount of skin for Renaissance Italy. But these nude dudes and dudettes were stripped bare not for erm…stimulating reasons. Skin was supposed to be the great equalizer in this fresco. All human beings were naked on the Day of Judgment because clothing could be an indication of rank. That's right, kids! Your Gucci handbag ain't gunna get you out of this one. Earlier on, in medieval paintings of the scene, people were judged according to rank and only the 1% got to go to heaven. Michelangelo obviously shook his head to this classist perspective on who should go to Hell. Righteous, brother.
Of course, Jesus looks ready to roll heads. Wearing a loosely draped cloak of sorts, he truly seems like he can't wait to punish the non-believers! Mary, on the other hand, is kind of shying away (maybe because she's the only one fully dressed?). There's some pictorial hierarchy in the painting, which basically means the lower you go and the scarier the faces get, the closer you're getting to Hell. People certainly don't appear to be having fun down there…what with being flayed alive and all.
This fresco was considered too risqué by some, and one of these critics was Bagio da Cesena, the Pope's master of ceremonies. Cesena lost his sh*t when he saw all the full-frontal nudity and complained to the Pope. Michelangelo, in painterly revenge, painted Cesena with his nut-sack getting stung by a snake. The painting was later censored though, during the "Fig Leaf Campaign" which basically meant all genitalia got covered up by foliage. Shucks. But then, someone smart came along during the '80s and demanded that all these leaves be struck off! Consequently, quite a few figures thought to be men were revealed to be women. I guess Michelangelo spent some time in the ladies room as well.
The following is an excerpt from "The Lives of the Most Eminent Painters, Sculptors & Architects, Vol. IX" by Giorgio Vasari, orginally published in 1550:
When the Pope had returned to Rome and Michelagnolo was at work on the statue, Bramante, the friend and relative of Raffaello da Urbino, and for that reason little the friend of Michelagnolo, perceiving that the Pope held in great favour and estimation the works that he executed in sculpture, was constantly planning with Raffaello in Michelagnolo's absence to remove from the mind of his Holiness the idea of causing Michelagnolo, after his return, to devote himself to finishing his tomb; saying that for a man to prepare himself a tomb during his own lifetime was an evil augury and a hurrying on of his death. And they persuaded his Holiness that on the return of Michelagnolo, he should cause him to paint in memory of his uncle Sixtus the vaulting of the chapel that he had built in the Palace. In this manner it seemed possible to Bramante and other rivals of Michelagnolo to draw him away from sculpture, in which they saw him to be perfect, and to plunge him into despair, they thinking that if they compelled him to paint, he would do work less worthy of praise, since he had no experience of colours in fresco, and that he would prove inferior to Raffaello, and, even if he did succeed in the work, in any case it would make him angry against the Pope; so that in either event they would achieve their object of getting rid of him. And so, when Michelagnolo returned to Rome, the Pope was not disposed at that time to finish his tomb, and requested him to paint the vaulting of the chapel. Michelagnolo, who desired to finish the tomb, believing the vaulting of that chapel to be a great and difficult labour, and considering his own want of practice in colours, sought by every means to shake such a burden from his shoulders, and proposed Raffaello for the work. But the more he refused, the greater grew the desire of the Pope, who was headstrong in his undertakings, and, in addition, was being spurred on anew by the rivals of Michelagnolo, and especially by Bramante; so that his Holiness, who was quick-tempered, was on the point of becoming enraged with Michelagnolo. Whereupon Michelagnolo, perceiving that his Holiness was determined in the matter, resolved to do it; and the Pope commanded Bramante to erect the scaffolding from which the vaulting might be painted. Bramante made it all supported by ropes, piercing the vaulting; which having perceived, Michelagnolo inquired of Bramante how he was to proceed to fill up the holes when he had finished painting it, and he replied that he would think of that afterwards, and that it could not be done otherwise. Michelagnolo recognized that Bramante was either not very competent for such a work or else little his friend, and he went to the Pope and said to him that the scaffolding was not satisfactory, and that Bramante had not known how to make it; and the Pope answered, in the presence of Bramante, that he should make it after his own fashion. And so he commanded that it should be erected upon props so as not to touch the walls, a method of making scaffoldings for vaults that he taught afterwards to Bramante and others, whereby many fine works have been executed. Thus he enabled a poor creature of a carpenter, who rebuilt the scaffolding, to dispense with so many of the ropes, that, after selling them (for Michelagnolo gave them to him), he made up a dowry for his daughter.
He then set his hand to making the cartoons for that vaulting; and the Pope decided, also, that the walls which the masters before him in the time of Sixtus had painted should be scraped clean, and decreed that he should have fifteen thousand ducats for the whole cost of the work; which price was fixed through Giuliano da San Gallo. Thereupon, forced by the magnitude of the undertaking to resign himself to obtaining assistance, Michelagnolo sent for men to Florence; and he determined to demonstrate in such a work that those who had painted there before him were destined to be vanquished by his labours, and also resolved to show to the modern craftsmen how to draw and paint. Having begun the cartoons, he finished them; and the circumstances of the work spurred him to soar to great heights, both for his own fame and for the welfare of art. And then, desiring to paint it in fresco-colours, and not having any experience of them, there came from Florence to Rome certain of his friends who were painters, to the end that they might give him assistance in such a work, and also that he might learn from them the method of working in fresco, in which some of them were well-practised; and among these were Granaccio, Giuliano Bugiardini, Jacopo di Sandro, the elder Indaco, Agnolo di Donnino, and Aristotile. Having made a commencement with the work, he caused them to begin some things as specimens; but, perceiving that their efforts were very far from what he desired, and not being satisfied with them, he resolved one morning to throw to the ground everything that they had done. Then, shutting himself up in the chapel, he would never open to them, nor even allowed himself to be seen by them when he was at home. And so, when the jest appeared to them to be going too far, they resigned themselves to it and returned in shame to Florence. Thereupon Michelagnolo, having made arrangements to paint the whole work by himself, carried it well on the way to completion with the utmost solicitude, labour, and study; nor would he ever let himself be seen, lest he should give any occasion to compel him to show it, so that the desire in the minds of everyone to see it grew greater every day.
Pope Julius was always very desirous to see any undertakings that he was having carried out, and therefore became more eager than ever to see this one, which was hidden from him. And so one day he resolved to go to see it, but was not admitted, for Michelagnolo would never have consented to show it to him; out of which affair arose the quarrel that has been described, when he had to depart from Rome because he would not show his work to the Pope. Now, when a third of the work was finished (as I ascertained from him in order to clear up all doubts), it began to throw out certain spots of mould, one winter that the north wind was blowing. The reason of this was that the Roman lime, which is made of travertine and white in colour, does not dry very readily, and, when mixed with pozzolana, which is of a tawny colour, makes a dark mixture which, when soft, is very watery; and when the wall has been well soaked, it often breaks out into an efflorescence in the drying; and thus this salt efflorescence of moisture came out in many places, but in time the air consumed it. Michelagnolo was in despair over this, and was unwilling to continue the work, asking the Pope to excuse him, since he was not succeeding; but his Holiness sent Giuliano da San Gallo to see him, and he, having told him whence the defect arose and taught him how to remove the spots of mould, encouraged him to persevere.
Now, when he had finished half of it, the Pope, who had subsequently gone to see it several times (mounting certain ladders with the assistance of Michelagnolo), insisted that it should be thrown open, for he was hasty and impatient by nature, and could not wait for it to be completely finished and to receive, as the saying is, the final touch. No sooner was it thrown open than all Rome was drawn to see it, and the Pope was the first, not having the patience to wait until the dust caused by the dismantling of the scaffolding had settled. Thereupon Raffaello da Urbino, who was very excellent in imitation, after seeing it straightway changed his manner, and without losing any time, in order to display his ability, painted the Prophets and Sibyls in the work of the Pace; and at the same time Bramante sought to have the other half of the chapel entrusted by the Pope to Raffaello. Which hearing, Michelagnolo complained of Bramante, and revealed to the Pope without any reserve many faults both in his life and in his architectural works; of which last, in the building of S. Pietro, as was seen afterwards, Michelagnolo became the corrector. But the Pope, recognizing more clearly every day the ability of Michelagnolo, desired that he should continue the work, judging, after he had seen it uncovered, that he could make the second half considerably better; and so in twenty months he carried that work to perfect completion by himself alone, without the assistance even of anyone to grind his colours. Michelagnolo complained at times that on account of the haste that the Pope imposed on him he was not able to finish it in his own fashion, as he would have liked; for his Holiness was always asking him importunately when he would finish it. On one occasion, among others, he replied, "It will be finished when I shall have satisfied myself in the matter of art." "But it is our pleasure," answered the Pope, "that you should satisfy us in our desire to have it done quickly;" and he added, finally, that if Michelagnolo did not finish the work quickly he would have him thrown down from the scaffolding. Whereupon Michelagnolo, who feared and had good reason to fear the anger of the Pope, straightway finished all that was wanting, without losing any time, and, after taking down the rest of the scaffolding, threw it open to view on the morning of All Saints' Day, when the Pope went into the chapel to sing Mass, to the great satisfaction of the whole city. Michelagnolo desired to retouch some parts "a secco," as the old masters had done on the scenes below, painting backgrounds, draperies, and skies in ultramarine, and ornaments in gold in certain places, to the end that this might produce greater richness and a more striking effect; and the Pope, having learned that this ornamentation was wanting, and hearing the work praised so much by all who had seen it, wished him to finish it; but, since it would have been too long a labour for Michelagnolo to rebuild the scaffolding, it was left as it was. His Holiness, often seeing Michelagnolo, would say to him that the chapel should be enriched with colours and gold, since it looked poor. And Michelagnolo would answer familiarly, "Holy Father, in those times men did not bedeck themselves with gold, and those that are painted there were never very rich, but rather holy men, on which account they despised riches."
For this work Michelagnolo was paid by the Pope three thousand crowns on several occasions, of which he had to spend twenty-five on colours. The work was executed with very great discomfort to himself, from his having to labour with his face upwards, which so impaired his sight that for a time, which was not less than several months, he was not able to read letters or look at drawings save with his head backwards. And to this I can bear witness, having painted five vaulted chambers in the great apartments in the Palace of Duke Cosimo, when, if I had not made a chair on which I could rest my head and lie down at my work, I would never have finished it; even so, it has so ruined my sight and injured my head, that I still feel the effects, and I am astonished that Michelagnolo endured all that discomfort so well. But in truth, becoming more and more kindled every day by his fervour in the work, and encouraged by the proficience and improvement that he made, he felt no fatigue and cared nothing for discomfort.

Here is what Wikipedia says about The Last Judgment (Michelangelo)
The Last Judgment (Italian: Il Giudizio Universale) is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Michelangelo covering the whole altar wall of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. It is a depiction of the Second Coming of Christ and the final and eternal judgment by God of all humanity. The dead rise and descend to their fates, as judged by Christ who is surrounded by prominent saints. Altogether there are over 300 figures, with nearly all the males and angels originally shown as nudes; many were later partly covered up by painted draperies, of which some remain after recent cleaning and restoration.
The work took over four years to complete between 1536 and 1541 (preparation of the altar wall began in 1535). Michelangelo began working on it twenty-five years after having finished the Sistine Chapel ceiling, and was nearly 67 at its completion. He originally accepted the commission from Pope Clement VII, but it was completed under Pope Paul III whose stronger reforming views probably affected the final treatment.
In the lower part of the fresco, Michelangelo followed tradition in showing the saved ascending at the left and the damned descending at the right. In the upper part, the inhabitants of Heaven are joined by the newly saved. The fresco is more monochromatic than the ceiling frescoes and is dominated by the tones of flesh and sky. The cleaning and restoration of the fresco, however, revealed a greater chromatic range than previously apparent. Orange, green, yellow, and blue are scattered throughout, animating and unifying the complex scene.
The reception of the painting was mixed from the start, with much praise but also criticism on both religious and artistic grounds. Both the amount of nudity and the muscular style of the bodies has been one area of contention, and the overall composition another.

War of Passion
Surviving 2012
God bless to all that made it to 2012 despite all the nay sayers. I don't believe in all when the world is going to end but nevertheless it is going to expire well at least life anyway. However, this planet of "ours" have survived for billions of years but those who dwell upon it hasn't so if nothing more make those who say 2012 is our end a liar. Learn from all the mistakes of the past and make the present and future different. Mankind has killed, destroyed, and suffered long enough and still we are nowhere as better human beings, just out technology has advanced but our thinking, living, survival instincts, love, hearts, productivity, possessions, will, drive, beliefs, and judgements remains the same. If we could do better and its in our power to do better than why don't we? Because it is our selfishness that prevails over our love that is greatly instilled in us. We believe we should receive for whatever service or act we provide or commit, but life doesn't always work like that or in our favor, at least that what we believe, because it doesn't happent right then and there. But God does without devine favoring and we are created in his image so why can't we as God's people (children) do the same. We I challenge myself this year to be more than I ever been because he has done no wrong to me or by me. When I call him or needed him he was there even when I didn't call or thought I could handle things on my own he was there. So now its time to restore faith in mankind not only for my sake but for Jesus sake because if not then Jesus died for nothing and I very much cannot handle that idea! I believe in my God and his ability to restore goodwill, hope, love, and faith in all so we will live to see our grandchildren's children growup and get married. So we can be the elderly with wisdom to pass down to them. But that cannot happen if the only thing on our mind is parties, playtime, selfishness, revenge, hate, destruction, war, money, power or greed.
So in order to survive 2012 and be more than what you are we need to love, care, honor, trust, beleive, respect and help more than just ourselves, because we never know when we will be on the

SUMMIT, NJ - Recently-passed Federal tax reform legislation represents a 'mixed bag' for the Hilltop City housing market, according to a group of local real estate, legal and financial experts.
"Many of our clients have called to ask us what the coming housing trends will look like based on the latest tax reform legislation," stated Karen Schneider, President of Lois Schneider Realtor (LSR). "We invited some of our most respected local financial gurus, real estate attorneys and mortgage lenders -- local real estate attorney, Jeff Hartlaub of Avelino & Hartlaub, Summit's David Dietze and Claire Toth of Point View Wealth Management and Greg Mezzacapo, mortgage lender at EverBank -- to share their own perspectives at a recent LSR sales meeting."
Buried in the exhaustive details of this intricate piece of tax legislation is a wavy bottom line for buyers and sellers, tax winners and losers, a mix of short term, medium term and long term effects, rolled into a wait-and-see attitude by many for the first part of 2018.
General takeaways, according to the advisors:
Tax 'winners': Investors, corporations, business owners, college savers, existing real estate owners and those trying to provide for the next generation.
A mixed bag for New Jersey:
Many New Jersey homeowners will be affected by the reduction of deductible interest on new home mortgages from $1 million to $750,000 -- however existing mortgages are grandfathered at the $1 million level.
The amount of deductible state and local taxes (SALT) has been reduced to $10,000 which greatly affects New Jersey homeowners. However, the vast majority of homeowners in the Garden State will see a reduction in their federal income taxes despite the $10,000 SALT limits due to the effects of lower tax rates.
There may be an increased migration, especially retirees, out of New Jersey into lower tax states. Some speculate that this threat may affect the extent of any future tax increases.
Tax 'fine print'.
Most changes are scheduled to revert back in 2025.
Given the fluctuating nature of the tax law, individuals are advised to keep their strategies diversified.
Consult a tax pro. The tax plan will impact everyone differently.
Lois Schneider Realtor agents also attended the Otteau Group, Inc. real estate workshop hosted by Jeff Otteau, well known for his insights into future housing market trends in New Jersey.
Ginny Jordan, Sales Manager and Broker of LSR, cautions that the uncertainty of this tax plan may create fear-based selling and buying, so be certain your decisions make economic sense and not just tax sense.
"One thing we look at is interest rates for buyers, as buyers drive the housing market. The forecast is that rates will be raised two to four times in 2018. Every 1% increase in interest rates translates to a 9% decrease in purchase power for the buyer. Note to new homebuyers: It may be a smart time to jump in!" said Jordan.

The by-elections have now wrapped up and the votes have been counted.
This was the Science Party's first venture into Western Australia, but it is clear that when people hear our message they are excited about sensible policy and a more aspirational vision for the future.
In Highgate, where our volunteers were spreading our message, we polled 6.4% of the primary vote and recruited new members who have offered to support us into the future.
With your help, we will duplicate this result to the rest of the electorate, and continue to provide a principled alternative in next year's election.
The party and I will continue to work toward bringing consistency and sensibility back to parliament, and we would like you to join us in this journey.
Any support that you can provide to the party will be appreciated, whether by sharing our social media posts, handing out flyers, wearing our t-shirt, contributing to policy, making donations, or even potentially joining me as a candidate.
If you think you have something to offer, get in touch.
Again, thank you for your support. I will keep striving to better represent you into the future.

Candidate for Perth

He's been bombed, shot at and severely beaten. His reporting over 30 years in the Middle East has earned him many awards – and as many enemies.
In his book The Great War for Civilisation, he describes the way that, in the years since the American-led invasion of Iraq, he wakes to the sound of the wind swishing through the branches of the palm trees outside his window and thinks: 'Where will today's explosion be?' (Answer: on his doorstep. Rafik Hariri, the former prime minister of Lebanon, was murdered on 14 February 2005, probably by the Syrians, only yards from Fisk's home, in an explosion so fierce the aforementioned palm trees dipped towards him as if 'in a tornado'.) It is, then – at least on the page he writes – a place of peace and tranquillity, of quiet before the permanent storm that is life in the Middle East.
Robert Fisk is one of the most famous journalists in the world, and one of the most divisive. Many revere him both for the muscular quality of his reporting – in a world numbed by 24/7 television, he makes news seem gripping and important and full of pity – and for his refusal to shy away from saying that which few other writers dare to put down on the page. No one escapes the heat of his ire: neither Bush nor Blair, neither Israel nor the Arab dictatorships. For him, journalism is about 'naming the guilty' and sod the consequences. In his more than 30 years as a Middle East correspondent – during which time he has survived bombs, bullets, two kidnap attempts and, perhaps most notoriously, a thorough beating at the hands of a group of Afghan refugees in Pakistan – he has won more awards than any other foreign news journalist and has written two best-selling and acclaimed books: Pity the Nation, a devastating history of the Lebanese civil war, and The Great War for Civilisation, a 1,300 page history, with eyewitness accounts lifted directly from his own notebooks, of the 'conquest' of the Middle East (his latest book, The Age of the Warrior, a collection of his journalism, has just been published). Fisk's lectures sell out across the world; at his book signings, the queue extends out of the door.
From Beirut to Bosnia is a three part documentary by Robert Fisk shown on the Discovery Channel focusing on Lebanon, Palestine, Egypt and Bosnia. It spans different nations and different peoples, but the problems and tragedies, the false hopes and betrayals, these are always the same. Muslims all over the world bear the brunt of Western foreign policy and local dictatorial rule. They pay the price of these policies and adventures with their land, freedom, property and lives. This mixture, of oppression, poverty and abuse has alienated millions of Muslims from their own governments as well as from some in the West. Today we witness a region on fire, plagued with instability. Robert Fisk analyses some of the root causes of the conflicts and tragedies we hear about daily.

[ext] Stay-Open Menu
Announce and Discuss the Latest Theme and Extension Releases.
thanks, that would be great
Great add-on. How can I open bookmarks (with the menu stay opened) in the same tab instead of opening it in an new one?
Nice greetings, Dirk
- Windows 10 Home, 64bit
- newest stable portable Firefox (not beta)
- newest stable portable Thunderbird (not beta)
@nightbeholder and others interested in keeping the menu open when clicking Boox's 'Mark as Read':
See http://www.shadetreeapiary.com/extension/Prerelease/index.htm for an experimental version of this. Be sure to read the note and warning.
@Dirki: Thanks. There is no provision in Stay-Open Menu for that. Typically one opens the menu, opens multiple tabs and then closes it (or uses the auto-close feature). Opening multiple bookmarks in the same tab would overwrite each other. Are you desiring this for the first one you open or am I misunderstanding something?
Many thanks custom.firefox.lady.
No no, you are understanding right: e.g. suppose you are searching a website (not knowing the URL anymore) or you just want to have a short look at each page (in any bookmark folder etc.), like I do occasionally, it would be good to not to open each one in a single tab, but in the same one.
Thanks again for your help, nice greetings, Dirk
- Windows 10 Home, 64bit
- newest stable portable Firefox (not beta)

Although I generally prefer the Bookmarks Menu to the sidebar, I think in that case, you might consider using the Bookmarks Sidebar for this. It would have the added advantage of not covering up part of the webpage like the dropdown menu would.
Thanks custom.firefox.lady,
Yes, that is a good idea doing it this way.
Thanks again, nice greetings, Dirk

Hi this is a great extension I've been looking for something like this forever. Now I can ditch the All-in-one sidebar which was good but slow. I don't know if this has already been asked but can you offer an option to make the menu stay open with left mouse clicks also?
Thanks. There is an option in versions 1.4 and later to use Ctrl-(left)click. Plain left-clicks would result in the items just overwriting each other in the same tab. What exactly are you wanting to do, or what exact behavior are you expecting?
I just want to use the left click in the menus and have it stay open also. Is it possible to make left click open the bookmarks in different tabs?
Okay, thanks for clarifying. I see the purpose of Stay-Open Menu being keeping the menu open at appropriate times and in a useful and non-annoying manner, rather than changing how left-clicks etc. work. If you are willing to use another method to cause bookmarks to open in a new tab when left-clicked, then I would consider adding a compatible feature to keep the menu open when using it.
Following links give some information on how you can cause bookmarks to open in a new tab (with left-click).
See the first paragraph and #3 at:
http://www.x2b4.com/howto/how-to-open-e ... firefox-3/
Here is the extension you need to implement it:
It works on the Bookmarks Menu and the Bookmarks Toolbar (but not in the sidebar).
I just thought you could include various options to how the buttons work. Like left click opens in new tabs and middle click opens in same tab or vice versa. Or maybe left click opens in new tab and middle click closes the menu. I'm also using Tab Mix Plus and my bookmarks already open in new tabs with left click but the menu doesn't stay open.
Thanks for the suggestion (which I will keep in mind), but this brings up a lot of other issues. If left-click opens in new tabs, shouldn't it do that on the bookmarks sidebar too? (Currently Stay-Open Menu has no need to affect the sidebar at all.) What about on page links? I am personally not fond of things that make the UI inconsistent and adding all this would take Stay-Open Menu way beyond its intended purpose. I think this sort of thing is more suited to a tab-related extension.
With the auto-closing feature added to 1.5, I don't think we need any more ways to close the menu.
Okay, thanks, I was not aware that TMP also had an option for this. As previously stated, I could add an option to keep the menu open on left-click for use in cases like this. PM me if you'd be willing to help test it.
Could you post a dev.build here? I'll test (have both, 3.0.10 and 3.5b4, the latest TMP dev.build).
Thanks for tiny but very useful addon. I have a related request.
Is it possible to have the menu stickied (stuck) until I deliberately close it?
The reasons are:
1) Sometimes I want to perform a series of action on the menus (e.g. click on context menu -> click on different items to perform different tasks at once)
2) Some addons use menus to manage things and settings. It's sort of bad design so you have to open menu -> click -> open menu -> click -> open menu -> click. Much time is saved if the menu can be stickied.
3) I would also like to inspect the menus/popups with DOM Inspector.
However the menu will display by the time I click on the DOM inspector icon to do the inspection.
How you open it is the way how you close it.
For menus in menubar, you click on the "History" or "Bookmarks" item to open the menu. You click again to close it. Other clicks won't close it.
For tabbar menus (which shows a list of tabs), you click on the arrow button to open the menu. You click again to close it. Other clicks won't close it.
For content area context menu, you right click to open it. You right click again to close it.

text: The latest film in the X-Men universe was easily its most distinctive. Logan takes the wildly popular character of Wolverine and places him into a dusty, violent, fatalistic neo-western that is unlike any X-Men film — and in fact any superhero movie of this current era. Hugh Jackman gives his best performance to date as Wolverine, and Patrick Stewart is no less than regal (well, okay, gruff and vulgar, but regal) as Professor Xavier.

A Practical Guide to Squatting is a subversive how-to guide on the basics of squatting, illustrating the various tactical and strategic predicaments of inhabiting vacant buildings. While the practice of squatting is controversial, the book's primary agenda is to reveal a sub-culture of people who squat or glean and sustain low-tech and self-sufficient lifestyles in a friendly and non-violent manner. Many people practice squatting and gleaning not because they have to but because they value what the other half throws away and abandons. More than 1/3 of the world's population live in homes they built themselves. Architecture is not only practiced by educated professionals, but also by the disenfranchised, the layman, and the collective. Beneath its cheeky imagery, the book is trying to show the world that squatting, gleaning, canning, binning, scavenging and the like is not paltry behavior, but provides a meaningful contribution to a world most of us know little about.

Today I dove in headfirst on automating bookmarks from browser-chrome. I normally read the code to figure out what is going on, but instead installed DOM Inspector and my life became much easier.
I found a post on mfinkle's blog and started there. This didn't work so well (we have incremented Fennec version since it was last modified) so I installed it on firefox and then copied the extension to fennec. This can be done by looking in your extensions directory inside your profile ~/.firstname.lastname@example.com/* and then copying all of that to ~/.email@example.com/.
This is all assuming you have installed Fennec and it uses your default profile directory. In my case, I have many versions of Fennec, so I have to go into my Fennec/extensions directory and copy the email@example.com to it.
Ok, once installed, I fired up fennec, and hit CTRL+SHIFT+I and up popped the inspector. Being a n00b, I didn't figure out the file->"inspect chrome document" for about 5 minutes, then it started making sense and I was able to drill down and figure out the layout inside of Fennec.

Lorry Watch schemes open in Fornham All Saints and Barnham
PUBLISHED: 15:31 17 August 2019 | UPDATED: 15:31 17 August 2019
Lorry Watch schemes aimed at tackling HGV drivers ignoring weight restrictions have been launched in two west Suffolk villages.
The villages of Fornham All Saints, near Bury St Edmunds, and Barnham, near Thetford, have joined nine other similar schemes set up by Suffolk County Council's Trading Standards and Suffolk Highways.
Suffolk's Lorry Watch started in 2012 and to date has reported nearly 3,000 incidents of HGV vehicles exceeding weight limits, where clearly marked restriction signs are in place.
Volunteers monitor their area and report suspected offenders to trading standards, who then contact the vehicle owners.
The schemes have been a great success with only four repeat offenders being issued with a warning, meaning that drivers are taking notice when they are first contacted.
Residents in Fornham All Saints and Barnham had complained HGV drivers were regularly ignoring weight restrictions and wanted to do something about it.
You may also want to watch:
Councillor Richard Rout, cabinet member for Environment and Public Protection at Suffolk County Council, said: "Lorry Watch has proved highly effective in reducing the number of HGVs travelling through restricted areas.
"I'm grateful to the volunteers who report potential offenders to us, so that we can do our best to make sure our local communities and highways are kept safe.
"I would encourage anyone with concerns about HGVs ignoring restrictions in their community, to get in touch and consider a Lorry Watch scheme or find out more about our recently launched Community Self Help Scheme."
Weight restriction orders are in place to protect old or weak structures, as well as to prohibit heavy vehicles from areas unsuitable for their size.
The orders make it an offence to drive a vehicle through the restricted area where the vehicle exceeds the weight limit imposed unless they are exempt, for example when delivering or collecting within the restriction zone.
Lorry Watch schemes already take place in Beccles, Bungay, Claydon, Coddenham, Hadleigh, Holton, Leiston, Palgrave and Sproughton.
Anyone interested in joining a Lorry Watch scheme should contact firstname.lastname@example.com or 01473 264859.

The AMNH has spent millions of dollars so that the iphone app explorer can be used to navigate and provide information to visitors. This past weekend a group of Corcoran College of Art + Design SEGD members toured the museum in hopes of seeing how affective this new multi-million dollar project is for the museum.
So, the museum has iphones available for visitors who do not own one or an ipod, but we found a lack of knowledge from museum employees about where to find the devices to rent. Which after enough investagation, they are located at the front were you get tickets. But since there is little advertising and an ill-informed staff this was not an easy task. Also know you must put a $50 deposit down on your credit card to rent the device… students beware if your accounts low.
For those of you with an iphone or ipod, the app is interesting and can be helpful in some ways. I recommend going to http://www.amnh.org/apps/explorer.php before your visit to learn a little more about the app, so when you get to the museum you don't waste time trying to figure it out. But remember to look up from your device so you don't miss why you came… THE ARTIFACTS!

Jerry Puryear, 49, is facing fleeing and eluding, false identification to law enforcement and duties at a stop sign charges for the incident.
