PBOC happy with liquidity in Chinese markets. With fears increasing about the credit crunch at Chinese banks, the People's Bank of China didn't do much to ease those concerns - as can be seen from what shares did today - saying that liquidity is "overall at a reasonable level." In a move interpreted as an attempt to rein in record lending, the PBOC last week let inter-bank funding rates hit record highs before stepping in to ease the pressure.
Vodafone confirms to buy Kabel Deutschland. Vodafone (VOD) has agreed to acquire Kabel Deutschland (KBDHY.OB) for €7.7B in what will be the U.K. operator's largest acquisition since its entry into India in 2007. Vodafone will pay €87 a share, just above Kabel's close of €86 on Friday. A major question is what John Malone's Liberty Global (LBTYA) will do now that its €7.5B bid has been superseded.

Jefferies to lend Icahn $5.2B for Dell bid. Jefferies is reportedly providing Carl Icahn with $5.2B worth of term loans to support his Dell (DELL) bid. Icahn recently stated he would soon have such financing for his offer - which is worth $14 a share for 62% of shares - and reiterated he would throw in $2B of his own money if necessary. Jefferies has already committed to providing Icahn with $1.6B for the deal.
Telefonica to sell Irish unit. Telefonica (TEF) has agreed to sell its Irish subsidiary to Hutchison Whampoa for up to €850M as the Spanish company continues to shed assets. The money will help Telefonica meet its target of cutting its debt to under €47B by the end of the year from €51.2B. With Hutchison already owning Three Ireland, the third-largest mobile-phone operator in the country, antitrust issues may arise.
Diamonds are forever after all at Rio Tinto. Rio Tinto (RIO) has halted a 15-month effort to sell its $1.3B diamonds business after being unable to find a buyer. It's a setback for the company's plan to divest assets as it looks to reduce its $19B debt, lower costs and increase shareholder returns. However, Rio isn't the only miner to fail in trying to sell one of its operations, with Barrick Gold (ABX) and Peabody Energy (BTU) experiencing similar difficulties.
Boeing 787 problems continues. Is there no end to the glitches affecting Boeing's (BA) Dreamliner? In the latest in a series of incidents since commercial 787 flights resumed recently, a United Airlines (UAL) jet traveling from Houston to Denver returned to Texas due to a brake indicator issue. The question is whether the 787's glitches are relatively routine but getting more attention than they would on other planes, or whether they really are out of the ordinary.
Big Pharma makes diabetes progress. Major drug and medical-device companies reported promising results from various trials at the American Diabetes Association's annual meeting over the weekend. Eli Lilly's (LLY) Dulaglutide injection for Type 2 diabetes performed well in a Phase III study, as did Sanofi's (SNY) U300 "next-generation insulin," while pump devices from Medtronic (MDT) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) have made good progress. However, there was disappointment for Bristol-Myers Squibb's (BMY) and AstraZeneca's (AZN) Onglyza.
FTC to review Google's acquisition of Waze. The FTC plans to look at Google's (GOOG) purchase of Waze, which isn't a surprise given Google's dominant online/mobile maps position and a general belief it's buying Waze in part to keep the latter's increasingly accurate crowd-sourced traffic/point-of-interest data out of Apple (AAPL) and Facebook's (FB) hands. The FTC may have asked Google not to integrate Waze's data with Google Maps until the review is complete.

German business confidence improves slightly. The Ifo index of German business confidence has edged up to 105.9 in June, as expected, from 105.7 in May. The German economy is holding its course, Ifo says, with manufacturers once again "slightly more satisfied with their current business situation" and "more optimistic about future business developments." Retailers still remain optimistic, although wholesalers and construction contractors are more skeptical about what's in store.
BIS warns on risks to growth, stability. Central banks "cannot do 'whatever it takes' to return still-sluggish economies to strong and sustainable growth," says the Bank for International Settlements. In its annual report, the BIS blames unconventional monetary policy for delaying private sector deleveraging and for making countries especially vulnerable to rising interest rates, which, "without an equal increase in the output growth rate will further undermine fiscal sustainability."
EU fails to agree on rules for bank bailouts. European finance ministers are due to reconvene on Wednesday after failing to agree on rules about who should bear the brunt of rescuing failing banks in the EU so that taxpayers don't have to. Germany and other eurozone countries want to use Cyprus as a template and impose losses on shareholders, bondholders and then deposits of over the €100,000. France, Britain, Denmark and Sweden want flexibility in whether to take such steps.

|Today we are beginning the Youth Confirmation Class here at Christ Church, which will mostly consist of 8th graders—so I remembered something that happened to me in 8th grade… One day I got home from school and my mom and I were talking. She read the Bible a lot and told me that she had been reading the Gospel According to Matthew that day and came across a verse that she felt God wanted her to share with me. Then she handed me a Bible, The King James Version (which this year is celebrating its four hundredth anniversary and is, of course, the version Jesus used), and I read the following verse: "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is a lunatic" (Matthew 17:15) . Oh well… like the saying goes, "If it's not one thing, it's your mother."
|There are 929 chapters in the Old Testament, and today I have the privilege of preaching from my favorite, Isaiah 40. In my opinion Isaiah 40 is one of the most comforting and encouraging chapters of the Bible.
|Arguably the greatest of the Old Testament prophets was Isaiah, whose ministry was in the eighth century B.C. and lasted about fifty years. His prophecies about the coming Suffering Servant, referring to Jesus Christ, are among the high points in all of scripture. Today I am preaching from Isaiah 40:1-2—"'Comfort, O comfort my people,' says your God. 'Speak tenderly to Jerusalem… that her penalty is paid.'"
|This time of year one of the greatest pieces of classical music ever composed, Handel's Messiah, is often performed. George Frideric Handel composed the music Messiah over the course of only twenty-four days in the summer of 1741. The lyrics, a combination of scripture texts from the King James Version of the Bible and The Book of Common Prayer, were complied by Charles Jennens. The first words sung in Messiah are directly from Isaiah 40: "Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God." It's beautiful and quite moving.
|To comfort means "to soothe, console, or reassure." The Hebrew verb nachamu translated "comfort" here literally means, "to cause to breathe again." In other words, God is speaking through Isaiah, "You can breathe easy again."
|These words of comfort were directed to Israelites who were in exile away from their home, and who were anything but comfortable. After the reign of King Solomon, Israel was divided into two parts: the Northern Kingdom of Israel and the Southern Kingdom of Judah. In 722 B.C. the Northern Kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Assyrians and those who survived were taken away into exile. Then later in 586 B.C. the Southern Kingdom of Judah, including Jerusalem, was conquered by the Babylonians, and those who survived were also taken into exile.
|These comforting words from Isaiah 40 applied not only to the people of Israel and Judah back then, but also applies to all of us right now, because there are many of us who are taken away
|into exile by the circumstances in our lives to places where we don't belong, places where we don't want to be. Perhaps you are in a place like that in your life right now. And when we are in those places of exile in our lives what we need most of all is… comfort.
|Sometimes we look to other people to give us that comfort, perhaps a spouse or boyfriend or girlfriend or parent or child. And yet that comfort often falls short, because on one level or another, everyone hurts and needs comfort. When seeking comfort from others, people often receive the opposite, discomfort.
|Early on in Shakespeare's classic tragedy, Macbeth, one of the characters, a Sergeant, looks out at the sea and says this about comfort:
|"As whence the sun '(be)gins his reflection
|Shipwrecking storms and direful thunders break,
|So from that spring whence comfort seem'd to come
|Discomfort swells" (Act I, scene 2).
|When hurting people look to others for comfort, sometimes "discomfort swells."
|A powerful example of this in Scripture involves Job. You may remember that Job lost his children, lost his wealth, and lost his health. In the face of all his tremendous loss did Job receive comfort from his wife? Not exactly. When Job turned to his wife for comfort, her response was rather curt: "Curse God, and die."
|Job had three friends—Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar (all of which are popular names for kids these days ), who heard about Job's sufferings and went to visit him. Scripture tells us that when they saw Job, "They raised their voices and wept aloud (and) sat with him on the ground for seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his suffering was very great" (Job 2:12-13).
|I would imagine that the silent presence of Job's friends for that week brought him some comfort. But then his friends made the mistake of opening their mouths. The ensuing chapters in Job recount their trying to explain to Job that his suffering was brought about by his sin, that in losing his children, wealth, and health, he was getting what he deserved. As you can imagine, Job did not find this very comforting, and eventually told them bluntly, "Miserable comforters are you all" (16:2). When Job looked to his wife and friends for comfort, "discomfort swelled."
|Job of course eventually received comfort, but this comfort did not come from Eliphaz, Bildad, or Zophar. It was not even come from his wife. It came from God, who eventually restored Job completely.
|The reality is that when people suffer and are in need of comfort but receive none, they often begin to feel a deep sense of isolation and abandonment, and then resort to other things for
|comfort. As a result, all kinds of addictions develop. I don't need to list these addictions; I am sure you can fill in the blank.
|For those of you waiting for my rock 'n roll reference in this sermon, here it is: one of the most popular rock albums of the 70's was The Wall by Pink Floyd (1979), an album that is all about seeking comfort in the midst of pain. At one point on the album David Gilmour sings about addiction: "I have become comfortably numb," and then proceeds to play a jaw-dropping guitar solo of epic proportions.
|The problem with becoming "comfortably numb" is that eventually the numbness wears off, the hurt sets in again, and the thing to which one is addicted fails to bring any actual comfort at all, and instead only exacerbates the pain
|And it's not just addicts who need comfort— although in my opinion most people are addicted to something even if on the surface it's not self-destructive—everyone needs comfort from time to time.
|Little kids need comfort when they're bullied at school. Middle and high school students need comfort when people post mean things about them on Facebook. College students need comfort when facing the daunting prospect of final exams and papers after spending hundreds of hours playing Call to Duty. Middle aged people need comfort when they feel stuck on auto-pilot, simply going through the motions in an attempt to keep up with the demands of life. The elderly need comfort when the reality of their mortality begins to descend on them.
|The need for comfort never goes away.
|And it goes both directions. Some people want to give comfort to others but for whatever reason are unable to do so. About a month ago in the New York Times Book Review I read about a conversation between two literary giants of the 19th century: Fyodor Dostoyevski and Charles Dickens. The following is from a letter of Dostoyevski in which he described this conversation:
|"He (Charles Dickens) told me that all the good, simple people in his novels… are what he wanted to have been, and his villains were what he was (or rather, what he found in himself), his cruelty, his acts of causeless enmity towards those who were helpless and looked to him for comfort, his shrinking from those whom he ought to love… There were two people in him, he told me: one who feels as he ought to feel and one who feels the opposite" (Nov. 6, 2011).
|What a piercing insight into the conflicted human heart. How often have you felt like there were two people in you? How often have people looked to you for comfort and instead you've given them "acts of causeless enmity."
|If you can relate to this, you are certainly not alone. Even the Apostle Paul was conflicted, as he reveals in his Letter to the Romans: "I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate" (7:15).
|So there's the problem. Most people are in some kind of pain and therefore need comfort, but often they neither receive comfort from others, nor are able to give comfort to others.
|And that is where the gospel comes in. Why did God say, "Comfort, O comfort my people"? Because "(our) penalty is paid," or as it says in the King James Version, "(our) iniquity is pardoned."
|In other words, the debt for our sins has been paid in full.
|And that is where the gospel comes in, because the Suffering Servant about whom Isaiah prophesied so often was none other than Jesus Christ, who paid the penalty for all of our sins, who pardoned all our iniquity.
|Each year beginning on Black Friday people tend to spend a lot of money Christmas shopping, but then the January credit card statements arrive in the mail, and some people nearly fall over when they see how much they owe. Credit card statements tend to show both the "amount you owe" and the "minimum payment due."
|The good news of the gospel is that because of the death of Jesus Christ on the cross the "amount you owe" for your sins is $0.00, and your "minimum payment due" is $0.00. Your sin debt has been paid, entirely, all of it.
|This past summer the great Anglican scholar John Stott died. Interestingly enough, during his final hours do you know what he was listening to? It wasn't Pink Floyd . It was Handel's Messiah, "Comfort ye, comfort ye my people… for her iniquity is pardoned"
|In his profound book, The Cross of Christ Stott wrote about how in his death on the cross Jesus paid our sin debt in full:
|"God's love must be wonderful beyond comprehension. God could quite justly have abandoned us to our fate. He could have left us alone to reap the fruit of our wrongdoing and to perish in our sins. It is what we deserved. But he did not. Because he loved us, he came after us in Christ. He pursued us even to the desolate anguish of the cross, where he bore our sin, guilt, judgment, and death… It is more than love. Its proper name is 'grace,' which is love to the undeserving. (God) himself in his Son has borne the penalty for (our) law-breaking" (pp. 83 and 190).
|And when Jesus suffered and died, he received no comfort at all. When he said he was thirsty, he was offered vinegar on a stick. He was literally surrounded by miserable comforters. And yet
|when he died he paid our sin debt entirely so that we could be comforted. In fact Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to be our Holy Comforter (not Holy Lecturer or Holy Motivator), to comfort us.
|The fact that we have been forgiven, completely forgiven of ours sins—that our debt has been completely paid by Christ—gives us comfort. But we forget, and we need to be reminded again and again.
|That's why immediately following the confession and absolution in the Holy Eucharist, Rite One service in The Book of Common Prayer the priest says the "comfortable words," scriptures that remind us that Jesus has indeed paid the debt for our sin. In fact, in the First English Book of Common Prayer, compiled and written by Thomas Cranmer in 1549, the priest was to say the following:
|"Hear what comfortable words our savior Christ sayeth, to all that truly turn to him. Come unto me all the travail and be heavy laden, and I shall refresh you. God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, to the end that all that believe in him, should not perish, but have life everlasting.
|Here what St. Paul sayeth. This is a true saying, and worthy of all men to be received,
|that Jesus Christ came into this world to save sinners.
|Hear also what St. John sayeth. If any man sin, we have an advocate with the father,
|Jesus Christ the righteous, and he is the propitiation for our sins."
|Every week the priest was to comfort the congregation by reading all four of those verses to remind them that they were forgiven, that their sin debt had been paid in full. The reality is that our need to be reminded of this has not changed since 1549.
|One more illustration… One of the most comforting songs I have ever heard is Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge over Troubled Water from 1970, a song I don't remember ever not knowing. In case you were curious it comes in at number 47 on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time." It is pure gospel as they sing:
|When you're weary, feeling small
|When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all
|I'm on your side when times get rough and friends just can't be found
|Like a bridge over troubled water
|I will lay me down
|When you're down and out, when you're on the street
|When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you
|I'll take your part when darkness comes and pain is all around
|Like a bridge over troubled water
|I will lay me down
|(Paul Simon wrote this final verse for his then wife, Peggy, who was discouraged because she had recently noticed her first gray hairs): Sail on silver girl, sail on by Your time has come to shine, all your dreams are on their way See how they shine When you need a friend, I'm sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind
|The good news of the gospel is that God cares for us when we're weary and feeling small, that God will comfort us, that God took our part, that God is sailing right behind, especially when the waters of discomfort swell.
|The good news of the gospel is that Jesus died for all us, that the amount we owe on our sin debt is $0.00.
|Jesus died for the abandoned and the isolated and the addicted.
|Jesus died for 8th grade lunatics and silver girls, for classical composers and brilliant playwrights.
|Jesus died for conflicted novelists and rock 'n roll icons, for those who need comfort and those who are miserable comforters.
|Jesus died for the exiled who find themselves in places they don't belong or don't want to be.
|And Jesus also died for you, so today you can be comforted—soothed, consoled, reassured—that you have been forgiven, that God loves you all the time, no matter what.
|Today you can breathe easy again.

It's Autumn!
This is such an exciting time of year! I love the autumn. It is a sign of things coming soon… Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, cooler weather, long hours writing great stories, and snow ice cream. I love my snow ice cream. But in Oklahoma, we only get enough snow every four or five years. I have my fingers crossed for this year. In the meantime, I'm doing what I can to insulate our home for cold weather. How about you?
This Saturday, October 24, 2015, I'm holding a workshop for folks who want to write a novel in 30 days. This is the last workshop for the year, so don't miss it. (Click here for more info.) If you've written a novel in a month, please bring some helpful notes explaining how you made it all the way to the end. This workshop will be more about sharing and helping each other. We'll have a table or two for you to leave copies for others to take.
In recent months, many things have been happening for me. I've been holding more workshops, attending great conferences, winning some writing awards, and working hard to bring The Adventures of Dayton Barnes to the market very soon.
Next year, thanks to a good deal of interest, I'm expecting to hold a few of my workshops online. Hope to see you there.
Have a wonderful and exciting autumn!
My NaNo-Notes
Getting ready to tackle the 2013 NaNoWriMo Challenge? So am I. I wrote my first 50,000+ word novel last year. I was shocked, but thrilled at my own success. I had so much fun I'm doing it again.
Here is a list of ideas I wrote for myself in February. I hope it will also help you. Please share a link to this page if you know someone else who could use a little help.
Whatever you can do in advance to get a better idea who and what you will be writing about will be very helpful to you when you begin writing your novel.
1. Make a list of things you know a good deal about. Your list might consist of any of these or more:
- cooking
- cleaning house
- sewing / knitting / crocheting / crafts
- family history / genealogy
- swimming
- travelling
- reading, writing
- teaching, learning
- raising animals – what kind?
- working on cars, boats, furnaces, pools
- tornadoes / earthquakes / storms / tsunamis
- murder investigation techniques
- making __________
- using __________
- finding __________
- motorcycling, bicycling, walking
- driving a truck, train, plane, trolly, bus, race car…
- photography, videography
- illnesses, vitamins, medicines, medical procedures, etc.
- wars / military / peacemaking
The ideas above will help you form story lines (sub-plots) you can use in your novels.
2. Make a list of things you want to know more about. Use ideas from the list above or others you can think of. These will be the things you want to study about before it is time to write your novel, so you can easily use them.
3. Make a list of ideas the main story line in your book might be about…
- the adventures of a neighborhood gang
- a couple of buddies who accidentally fall into unsolved mysteries
- a photographer who falls in love
- the life of an animal in the zoo
- a journal of someone's travels
- life of a drug dealer
- a Christian who is looking for love
- a singer who makes it big and dives hard
- someone who wants to start their own business
- a series of murders in a circus company
4. Make a list of the main characters your story will be about. Give each person:
- name
- age
- color of hair
- color of eyes
- body type
- height
- health – frequent issues, super-healthy, occasional issues, cancer, etc.
- personal history – neglected, spoiled, bullied, the bully, etc.
- results of personal history – needy, easily intimidated, pushy, etc.
- quirks
- things they love
- things they hate
- habits – bites fingernails, leaves everything unlocked, etc.
5. Determine some other items, locations and other detailed info you will need for your main characters –
- car details
- neighborhood type – safe, dangerous,
- everyone knows everyone, nobody knows their neighbors,
- houses on a block, an apt. bldg., farms in the country
- job or school background
- favorite places to go
6. Make a list of your supporting cast.
- brothers and sisters
- parents
- partners – spouses, live-ins, same sex, opposite sex, etc.
- children
- classmates
- best friend(s)
- co-workers
- someone they have to see often – banker, store clerk, pawn shop owner, etc.
- Who are the good guys?
- Who are the bad guys?
If any of these people need a little more detail about who they are, what they do, etc., go ahead and make a list for them, too.
Basically, you want to get to know your main characters and begin to think of things that might happen in your story line. You will need a main plot — the overall problem and solution the book will be about, and many sub-plots — the smaller challenges or "chapters" that daily life offers us all, once in a while. Lists #1, #2 and #3 will help you design and organize those plots.
When you actually start writing, some of the things you have already decided will change. Don't let this bother you, but be sure to make the changes in your notes, so you will still have a good reference when your book is almost finished and you need to refer to the info, again. Also, keep a copy of your notes on paper or on a thumb drive as well as on your computer. If your computer crashes, you want to have a backup copy.
Now that you've got your story background designed, let your mind wander along the story line you would like to follow until it is time to write. Feel free to make guideline notes (about what will happen when) to keep your story on track when you write it.
You will only need to write about 1,667 words per day to finish your novel in time. If you start doing some daily writing now, you will be conditioned to working in a specific time and place and your family will be used to accommodating your needs. By writing something almost every day, you should have little problem meeting your daily quota during the challenge month.
Don't know what to write about on a daily basis until it is time to write your novel? Start a journal and write about how your day went. Or, write a fictional story every day. I try to write a factual journal entry most days and a fictional journal entry most days. I sometimes miss a whole week at a time, but I write as often as I can.
Keep yourself focused on private time when you write. No Facebook, no texting, no phone calls or company.

Vision Zero meets Zero Vision in Toronto
Vision Zero is the Swedish strategy that has successfully and dramatically reduced the number of deaths of pedestrians. Matts-Åke Belin, project manager for Vision Zero in Sweden, was in Toronto recently and explained how Vision Zero works, and describes it on CBC Radio, after listening to callers complain about pedestrians stepping into the roads and looking at cellphones and cyclists generally being in the way. Belin said it's not about blaming the victims who are hit by vehicles.
"You have to realize that you have young people, you have old people, you have all kinds of people. With a philosophy like Vision Zero, you take that for granted. Instead of starting to change them, you have to start to accommodate for them and design a system for humans."
A key tenet of Vision Zero is that just setting rules doesn't work; if it feels safe to drive at 80 in a 40 zone, people will do it. Traffic lights at intersections are not very safe; when someone goes through them, they are going fast, so if there is a pedestrian in the way, they pedestrian will likely get killed. And drivers do go through lights and pedestrians do step into streets because people are fallible. That's why in Sweden, they are getting rid of traffic lights and putting in roundabouts; there are still crashes, but they are at much lower speed and people tend not to die in them. As the Vision Zero site notes:
Our road systems are based on all the factors long known to pose hazards. They are allowing drivers to take risks way beyond our human capability. And our road systems have an unclear responsibility chain, at times, blaming victims for crashes and injuries…. We're also naturally prone to be distracted and have our attention diverted by music, phone calls, smoking, passengers, insects, or events outside the car. On top of this, we just make silly mistakes. The human factor is always present – 365 days a year. An effective road safety system needs to take human fallibility into account.
One way they do that is by slowing people and cars down.
On the same day that Belin was speaking in Toronto, Mayor John Tory was out at a suburban intersection, trying to speed up traffic. Ben Spurr writes in the Star:
Standing at the corner of Finch Ave. E. and Victoria Park Ave., which is one of the targeted intersections, he said the strategy was "not going to eliminate traffic in the city but it's going to make it flow better, which is something I think people have a right to expect." The mayor said the public wants officials to "do everything we can to try and alleviate the traffic that is causing a lot of social and economic and environmental issues for us."
These yellow signs posted at four points at this intersection represent the pedestrian/cyclist safety component. pic.twitter.com/iTM7CQv4IT— Ben Spurr (@BenSpurr) September 26, 2016
The Big New Idea for protecting pedestrians is to put up big yellow signs telling drivers that they must yield to pedestrians/cyclists instead of crushing them, which I suppose they might have forgotten.
This all comes just a few days after Planner Kyle Miller collected public data and showed that "542 pedestrians and 541 bikers have been hit by cars since June 1. The 1,083 collisions works out to 9.5 crashes every day, or one every 2.5 hours." He tells Ben Spurr:
"If we had 10 people mugged a day, or 10 people shot, stabbed (there would be a bigger outcry)" he said. "But violence on the road has been so normalized, it's not even news anymore."
Tory says pedestrian and cyclist collision statistics released last week are "profoundly unacceptable."— Ben Spurr (@BenSpurr) September 26, 2016
The Mayor is disturbed by these statistics, but like just about everyone else in Toronto, is profoundly uninterested in the principles of Vision Zero, because that might slow down the flow of traffic. Maureen Coyle of Walk Toronto notes that the Mayor's changes actually make things worse for pedestrians, and giving priority to cars.
"It's like we're having two separate conversations."
Welcome to Toronto.

A combination of local and regional factors and stochastic forces is expected to determine the occurrence of species and the structure of communities. However, in most cases, our understanding is incomplete, with large amounts of unexplained variation. Using functional groups rather than individual species may help explain the relationship between community composition and conditions. In this study, I used survey data from freshwater lakes and ponds to understand factors that determine the presence of the floating plant functional group in the northeast United States. Of the 176 water bodies surveyed, 104 (59.1%) did not contain any floating plant species. The occurrence of this functional group was largely determined by local abiotic conditions, which were spatially autocorrelated across the region. A model predicting the presence of the floating plant functional group performed similarly to the best species-specific models. Using a permutation test, I also found that the observed prevalence of floating plants is no different than expected by random assembly from a species pool of its size. These results suggest that the size of the species pool interacts with local conditions in determining the presence of a functional group. Nevertheless, a large amount of unexplained variation remains, attributable to either stochastic species occurrence or incomplete predictive models. The simple permutation approach in this study can be extended to test alternative models of community assembly.

Sky Blue Pin Collar Shirt

The story
Inspired by the expressive shirting of the 30s, this design represents signature Sexton style at its most refined, with a tall pointed collar that frames the face more beautifully than a Botticelli.
Sexton shirts are crafted to the highest standard using Edward's own pattern and technical specifications; the collar stand is engineered to raise aloft a beautiful seven-fold silk grenadine necktie as though it were Christ himself emerging from the virginal womb, whilst sitting comfortably around the neck. The shirt is sewn with an immaculate nine single-needle stitches per centimetre, swelled edges on the collar and cuffs, mother of pearl buttons and a gently gathered back-yoke.
It's cut in the finest cotton satin; 'we prefer it to poplin', Edward explains, 'it's richer and less see-through. It lends itself to empowered, masculine shirting.' In short, this is the formal shirt at its most elevated, architectural and above all, luxurious.
The shirt is provided with navy silk cuff knots, collar stays and a base-metal collar bar. Unique solid silver and gold collar pins, handmade by Hatton Garden jeweller Toby Mclellan, are available to purchase.

New general history of human evolution.
From the publisher's announcement:
Over the last two centuries the fossil record has revealed at least 20 different species of ancient human ancestors reaching back 7 million years into the past. But this only scratches the surface of the archaeological record. New finds can, and frequently do, result in significant rewrites of whole chunks of our evolutionary story. Fossil DNA, deep oceanfloor sediments, ice cores and Ice Age art are just some of sources that are helping to reveal the driving forces behind our early evolution and spread across the globe. This book brings together these sources to chart the deep past of the human race.

It appears that our Congressional delegation here in Massachusetts is going mostly unopposed this year. CQPolitics from Congressional Quarterly has the story here:
Republicans are fielding candidates in just three of the 10 districts: the 6th, where businessman Rick Barton is taking on five-term Democratic Rep. John F. Tierney; the 9th, where Jack E. Robinson III, a landslide loser to Kennedy in the 2000 Senate race, will oppose two-term Rep. Stephen F. Lynch; and the 10th, where businessman Jeff Beatty is taking on five-term Democratic Rep. Bill Delahunt.I knew about challenges to Tierney and Delahuntt this year, but I had no idea that they were bringing Jack E. Robinson back out of the woodwork. Robinson was last seen losing to Secretary of State Bill Galvin in 2002. He is perhaps best known in Massachusetts for crashing his car during a live radio interview during his loss in 2000 to Senator Kennedy. The state party eventually withdrew their support from Robinson and he ended up barely even beating Libertarian candidate Carla Howell with 13% of the vote to her 12%.
Lynch is the only incumbent who is facing a primary challenger. He is expected to easily defeat Phil Dunkelbarger, who owns a seafood trading and export company.

Tommasi Le Rosse Pinot Grigio
I know what you're thinking: Pinot Grigio is so BORING.
Not this one. Pinot Grigio can be ridiculously mundane, but there are good ones out there and this is one of them: Tommasi Viticoltori Le Rosse Pinot Grigio 2015 (SRP $17).
This wine from Italy's Veneto region – where Tommasi has produced wine for four generations – is more complex than a lot of Pinot Grigio, with good acidity and ripe tropical fruit flavors, white peach, honeysuckle, and ginger. It's fermented entirely in stainless steel, making for a clean-tasting, unoaked white wine with a crisp finish.
Tommasi Viticoltori Le Rosse Pinot Grigio 2015 is a nice wine to sip by itself, but also pairs very well with grilled seafood and Asian flavors – even sushi and sashimi. It's a terrific springtime sipper.

- Map shows the amount of terrorism attacks which have taken place globally since the beginning of 2017
- The colour-coordinated map shows, so far, 406 attacks have taken place, which have killed 2,835 people
- The larger the circles, the more deaths have taken place in that particular city or town as a result of an attack
- Afghanistan and Iraq have the largest circles on the map due to 265 and 266 people being killed respectively
ISIS has claimed responsibility for the largest number of terrorism attacks in the world this year, according to an interactive map.
The map, created by Esri Story Maps and PeaceTech Lab, shows that Islamic State has has claimed responsibility for most of the attacks so far on the map - 140 in total - while a group listed as 'other', such as lone wolves, closely follow behind with 130 attacks.
As a result, Islamic State is responsible for 1,180 deaths that have occurred as a result of terrorism this year, with the total number of deaths being 2,835 by 1pm on May 6.
African countries Maiduguri, Borno in Nigeria, and Mogadishu in Somalia, have the highest amount of fatalities in Africa due to terror groups Boko Haram and Al-Shabaab.
The map was created using Esri's Story Maps tool, which enables users to combine authoritative map visualisations with narrative text, images, and multimedia content to tell a story.
Data from Wikipedia was used to build the map as it is updated by the community of users often on a real-time basis.
Giselle Lopez, senior specialist at PeaceTech Lab, added that the decision to use Wikipedia was because it was the 'best and most comprehensive real-time source'.
She added: 'Both Esri and PeaceTech Lab valued the crowdsourcing element, which enables the community to determine the content of how terrorist attacks are defined and classified, which can often be highly disputed.
'The map shows the difference in numbers and magnitude of attacks in places like Mali, Nigeria, and Somalia compared to Western countries, which tend to get far more coverage in international press.'
It highlights the perpetrators of attacks, and allows users to explore where particular groups are most active.
When explaining why the organisations decided to create the map, she said: 'In recent years, an increasing number of terrorist attacks have shocked communities around the world.
'Many of the gravest attacks have occurred in nations often overlooked by Western media, such as Nigeria, Yemen, Somalia, and Bangladesh, as well as in more familiar war-torn locales like Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan.
'The map was created to provide a real-time source of information on these attacks and shed light on where terrorism has been a major issue in terms of number of attacks, numbers of victims, active groups, or type of attack.
'We hope that by visualising the data behind violent extremism, we can bring an evidence-driven approach to the conversations and decisions that are often driven by fear.
'So far, we've been thrilled that organisations and individuals have found value in this project and we hope to continue to support this effort.'
Chief data scientist, Rohini Srihari, said: 'Data is one of the key elements to successful peacebuilding efforts, especially in supporting PeaceTech Lab's mission of helping local peacebuilders. For example, we've seen sensors and crowd-sourced data used to provide alerts of imminent bombing raids in Syria.
'In other cases, satellite images are used to provide early-warning of crop failure, which can then be used to plan for potential refugee migration patterns.
'Social media analysis is being used to develop conflict reduction and intervention programs for countering hate speech.
'And finally, data can also be used to quantitatively assess the impact of intervention programs. More and more, the peacebuilding community is relying on data, particularly local data.'

Two men armed with semiautomatic handguns last night fired at least 17 shots and wounded six people -- one critically -- who were playing in a street basketball game in East Baltimore, police said.
The shooting occurred about 7:15 p.m. in the 2400 block of E. Lanvale St., where a group of men had set up a pole with a net to play basketball, police said.
Witnesses reported that four men in a four-door, mid-size, white car parked near the makeshift basketball court, police said. Two of the men got out of the car and immediately began firing a barrage of bullets at the players, sending them diving for cover, police said.

5 Ways To Drink The Duchess
It's a shame that the options available when you're not drinking alcohol are sugar-laden sodas and juices, coffee or tea (weird on a night out), or water – the elixir of life, sure, but not exactly celebratory. There's non-alcoholic bubbly, and beer, but often, especially when the sun's out, only a G&T will reeeeaaally do it. For World Gin Day (10 June), we're excited to be partnering with remarkable alternative, The Duchess, the world's first non-alcoholic gin and tonic, to present these refreshing ideas that take the classic G&T for a spin. Each flavour combination takes The Duchess to sweet or spicy new places but it's just as good on its own over ice, with a slice of lemon. Give 'em a whirl.

On Sunday 12th February 14 members set off from Kemble Church to do a 6.5 mile walk on a bitterly cold morning. They headed through Kemble Farms to cross the bridge over the new dual railway line from Swindon to Kemble. From there they made their way to the small hamlet of Kemble Wick and continued on the footpath to view the site of Norwood Castle on the left. Passing through the new Deer Park that was still being created, they reached Oaksey and stopped for a coffee break, much needed on this cold morning.
After coffee they continued on through Oaksey Wood, passing the spot where a Halifax aircraft crashed in 1943. There is plaque to commemorate this tragedy and also the names of those who died. The walk continued to make a big loop around the village of Oaksey passing Oaksey Airfield to reach the church. Continuing on to the entrance to Dean Farm they stopped briefly for lunch and then reached Oakwell Farm to follow a muddy path back to Kemble.

A U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) official testified on Tuesday at a House committee hearing regarding concerns that an Army facility in Utah shipped live anthrax and suggested that enhanced safety protocols were needed in order to prevent a recurrence.
"The department (DoD) is committed to putting in place the systems to ensure that this does not occur again," DoD Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Chemical and Biological Defense D. Christian Hassell said in written testimony to the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
"DoD and CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) continue to work closely to understand the issues relating to the inactivation of anthrax and necessary changes to the viability testing protocol in order to respond to the findings of the investigation and review," Hassell said.
In late May, DoD acknowledged that the Dugway Proving Ground, an Army facility in Utah, had inadvertently shipped live anthrax to a commercial laboratory in Maryland as well as to other contract labs. These shipments revealed that Dugway's process for inactivating anthrax with radiation was not fully effective.
The purpose of the hearing was to address whether Dugway shipments of live anthrax and the overall performance record of labs handling select agents make a sufficient case that the Federal Select Agent Program (FSAP) needs to be substantially strengthened and reformed, and if so, what changes and reforms to the FSAP will lead to substantial improvements in performance.
Hassell said that on May 29, the deputy secretary of defense work directed the undersecretary of defense for acquisition, technology and logistics to oversee a review that included the root cause of the incomplete inactivation of anthrax, DoD lab biosafety procedures, laboratory adherence to established procedures and identifying the steps necessary to fix those problems.
Hassell said as a result of the review committee's findings, it recommends DoD laboratories that work with hazardous select agents and other pathogens enhance quality control programs, establish anthrax spore inactivation and viability testing protocols and improve program management to ensure adequate laboratory space, equipment and time to conduct relevant research for select agents and other pathogens.
Hassell added in the interim, the DoD moratorium on producing, shipping and working with any inactivated anthrax, other than for purposes related to developing the science basis for irradiation and viability testing, will remain in effect.
"Our top priority is the safety of all involved," Hassell said. "We remain fully committed to complete transparency of information."
Hassell told the committee that by May 25, "all known laboratories that received inactivated anthrax samples had been notified and instructed to stop working with the samples and to follow CDC instructions." That same day, Hassell said, the four DoD labs that produced inactivated anthrax in support of defense research were directed to stop producing, shipping and working with any inactivated anthrax.
"There are no known or suspected cases of anthrax infection among workers at any of the labs that produced or received inactivated anthrax, and there is no known risk to the general public and very little risk to laboratory workers, due to the low concentration of live anthrax in the samples," he said.
Also providing testimony to the committee was CDC Deputy Director of the Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response Dan Sosin, who was the agency's incident manager for the response and oversaw all aspects of CDC's involvement.
Sosin testified that on May 22, after being advised by a lab that live anthrax was detected in a sample from Dugway that was supposed to have been inactivated, CDC initiated an outreach to 183 domestic laboratories to track 575 shipments of presumed inactivated anthrax material coming from Dugway.
"In the last two months, CDC has reached out to each laboratory to identify potential exposure to this material within the past year," Sosin said. "If a potential exposure was encountered, CDC doctors and scientists assessed workers and the laboratory environment for any possible aerosol exposure."
Sosin said eight individuals, working in three different civilian laboratories, were identified as potentially exposed. "As of submitting this testimony," Sosin said, "none have experienced any complications." Sosin added that since 2004, labs working with inactivated samples from Dugway found no laboratory researchers diagnosed with anthrax infection.
"However, CDC will maintain the moratorium on use and transfers of these materials to lower biosafety level laboratories until more well defined standards for inactivation and sterility testing have been identified," Sosin said.

June 06, 2016 08:30 ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - June 6, 2016) - Teuton Resources Corp. ("Teuton") (TSX VENTURE:TUO)(FRANKFURT:TFE)(OTCBB:TEUTF) is pleased to announce that it has optioned its Orion property to Tudor Gold Corp.
The down payment consists of 250,000 common shares of Tudor Gold and $50,000 (the shares are subject to a four month statutory hold period). A further 450,000 common shares of Tudor Gold and $650,000 is to be paid over the five year option period. Tudor Gold will earn a 100% interest in the property subject to a 2.5% Net Smelter Royalty in favour of Teuton without any provisions for a buyback. The transaction is subject to TSXV approval.
The Orion lies south of the KSM property of Seabridge Gold and Brucejack property of Pretium Resources. Jeff Kyba, regional geologist for northwestern British Columbia, has stated that proximity to a favourable contact between Triassic and Jurassic age rocks (the "redline" on the accompanying map: http://teuton.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/redline-orion-map.pdf) as well as prominent thrust faults such as the Sulphurets fault, are favourable indications in the hunt for a large deposit. Both these conditions apply to the Orion property.
Small-scale prospecting programs tested portions of the property intermittently from 1995 to 2007. Trenching of one showing in 1994 returned a weighted average of 0.074 opt gold and 1.36% arsenic over 13m. A small drill program carried out on this prospect in 2007 disclosed narrower widths of gold mineralization than observed on surface.
The sericite schist unit on the property, which contains anomalous gold in places, is becoming increasingly exposed with the meltback of ice. In one location, native sulfur was discovered suggesting an acid sulfate environment akin to that identified to the north in the Treaty property central gossan area.
Dino Cremonese, President and CEO of Teuton, states: "The Orion is Teuton's sixth property to be farmed out in this geologically prospective area. We believe that all of these properties, two of them optioned to Pretium Resources and four to Walter Storm's Tudor Gold, are now in strong hands. As for our eight properties adjoining further to the south, we plan to work them ourselves this year with special attention to the Big Gold property."
Silver Crown 6 Property
The Silver Crown 6 claim is jointly owned with Silver Grail and is presently under option to Decade Resources. It adjoins north of Decade's Red Cliff property.
Recent heavy sediment stream sampling carried out by Decade personnel investigated the area draining the postulated northern extension of gold structures on the Red Cliff into the Silver Crown 6 property. Five sample sites gave results ranging between 44.71 and 263.82 g/t gold. The high value can be considered extremely anomalous (see accompanying map for location: http://teuton.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/silvercrownanomalymap.pdf).
D. Cremonese, P.Eng., President and CEO of Teuton said: "These are very encouraging results which strongly suggest that a gold source lies west uphill from the streams on the Silver Crown 6 claim. This source is either an extension of the Montrose zone (located on the Red Cliff) or it could be a new, independent zone. In any event, we are quite hopeful that follow-up work will identify the area from which the gold is coming."
About Teuton
Teuton owns interests in more than thirty properties in the prolific "Golden Triangle" area of northwestern British Columbia and was one of the first companies to adopt what has since become known as the prospect generator model. Shareholders and other interested parties can access information about Teuton at the Company's website, www.teuton.com.
