The GLUTES
#1: 1 Leg Pulley lunges
When performing this exercise it's not necessary to pull the pulley back as you stand up... but doing so may make it a little easier to balance. The idea is to try and lunge down as far a you can. Remember the deeper you lunge or squat the more the glutes are worked. Whenever you have to balance on one-leg, more glutes muscle are working so that you don't fall over... this makes this a very effective glute exercise.
#2: 1 Leg Box Jumps
This is a glute killer. Don't rush this exercises as it is very easy to lose your balance. Push through your heels as you jump.This exercise can get you very sore ... so take it easy if you've never tried it before
#3: 1-1/2 Jump Squats
Jump squats effect the thighs a little more than the glutes. The way to overcome that is to focus on the part of the jump squat that stimulates the glutes the most. Since the lowest position of the jump squat will work the glutes more... this exercise adds an extra half-squat.
#4: 1-1/2 BB Jump Squats
Only attempt these if your legs and knees can handle the added stress of the barbell. Make sure your landing is soft (no jarring). Don't bounce at the bottom, make your glutes do all the work.
#5: Step-ups
One of the best glute exercises. The key as with most glute exercises is to focus on pushing through the heel of your food as you step up. DON'T use the leg on the ground to spring up... try to do most of the stepping up with the foot that's on the bench.
#6: Assisted Donkey Kicks
You need a partner for this one. Getting the feel may take a few workouts.
1) The assistant should offer resistance against your foot as you push out.
2) As you are bringing your leg back to the starting position, you should go slowly as your assistant pushes against your foot. You actually get more results from the latter portion of the exercise
#7: Pulley Glute Raises
This exercises actually isolates the glute. Since the glute is isolated you won't be able to lift a lot of weight so you must make every set count:
1) Use a heavy weight
2) Focus on the eccentric portion of the exercises. The eccentric portion is when you are bringing your leg back to the starting position. Most women just let their leg drop back down. You must avoid this and bring your leg slowly back to the starting position. You get more results from this eccentric motion than... so make sure you do rush through this portion of the exercise.
#8: Pulley Glute Raises with resistance from partner
This is the Glute Pulley Raise with resistance from a trainer/partner. The resistance places stress on the negative portion of the exercise. This negative phase is where most of the results come from. Many woman are in the habit of just dropping the leg back down.... this makes the exercises much less effective. Using resistance from a partner forces you to focus on this phase of the exercise.
Jump Lunges
Jump are an excellent exercises for the glute mainly because of the deceleration forces of during the landing. The key is to have a 'soft' landing (protects the knees from jarring injuries) and to push through the heel of the food when pushing off to jump.
Bulgarian Split Squats
An excellent exercises for isolating each glute. The lower you go down the more stimulation you will get in your glutes. Remember to push through your heels.
Wide Duck Squats
To get the most benefit from duck squats, you should have a wide stance, turn your feet outward and push through your heels. The wide stance helps you to lunge down further.

POUND RIDGE, N.Y. — A new initiative to fight the proliferation of invasive plants within the town has been formed between the Pound Ridge Conservation Board and the Henry Morgenthau Preserve of the Bedford Audubon Society.
The Invasives Project-Pound Ridge is a public/private task force formed to encourage and coordinate efforts to reduce existing infestations and to prevent new ones from occurring through scientific study, education, early detection and rapid response within Pound Ridge.
"You do not have to go far to see the damaging effects that uncontrolled invasive plants, such as oriental bittersweet, have on our area," said Marilyn Shapiro-Lowell, chairman of the Henry Morgenthau Preserve. "Just drive along Route 172 near the Fox Lane campus: Whole woods have collapsed under the weight of oriental bittersweet vines during high winds from the hurricanes."
Shapiro-Lowell used that example to illustrate the need for the project.
"There are a dozen invasive species – among them Japanese stilt grass, barberry, knotweed and garlic mustard, which have moved into our community and others – knocking on Pound Ridge's door," said Carolynn Sears, a member of the Pound Ridge Conservation Board and chairman of the new group's steering committee. "If we don't manage them now, we are leaving ourselves open to radical changes in the beauty of our natural surroundings and the wildlife it shelters and feeds."
Earlier this month, the Pound Ridge Conservation Board voted unanimously to support the project. Gail Jankus, Conservation Board chairman, praised the project "to help forward efforts in not only educating our citizens about the threat invasives pose to our environment, but also to help in any way we can to remove them from our town."
Jannelle Robbins, Bedford Audubon's executive director, echoed that thought.
"Invasive plants introduced in our yards and gardens can escape into the wild, severely damaging native habitat," said Robbins. "We're really excited about this project because it utilizes sound science and engages the whole community in a way that protects and improves our collective natural resources and private property as well."
The first public forum will be held Jan. 13 at 7 p.m. at the Pound Ridge Library. The snow date is Jan. 14. A panel of speakers will discuss targeting certain species and management strategies.
"Once the soil is disturbed or the tree canopy opened, invasive plants can move in and take hold," said Shapiro-Lowell. "Many times, these plants have no natural enemies and can spread like wildfire. Storm damage from hurricanes Irene and Sandy are exacerbating the problem. As a community, we must deal with this growing problem before it's too late."

What a humungous ass...
"If I say 'jump', you ask 'how high'"??!!
You know what? Fuck you.
You're snobbish, stingy, picky and rude. You repel people, believe it or not.
The old PA left because of you, the new PA left (after 1 month!) because of you, the Art Director hates you, the Editor hates you, the Accountant hates you, the whole production team hates you, the Host of the show probably hates you too... Holy shit, you've managed to create a new World Record.
I just realized, the whole company hates you. Every staff wants to leave because of you. Seriously, no joke. I think even our sponsor hates you. Okay, maybe she doesn't hate you. More like she abhors you.
I pity your boss. You spend his money on equipment you can't afford and yet, here you are talking about budgeting. Hypocrite. SOB.
Thank God we didn't sign a contract with your sorry ass.
You finish eating and expect someone to pick up after you ah?
You think you're in a restaurant is it? Is that part of the PM's job scope?
You don't like lunch, ask someone to buy some fucking expensive meal from some fucking expensive restaurant and expect the production to pay for it?! No money don't eat expensive stuff lah...
Come on, you don't even trust the people you employed... You don't supply us information, how are we expected to do our work? How are we supposed to get things right? And yet you're blaming us for not having you vet the damn letters before it's faxed? Instructions were given to the PA and they weren't followed, even though she quit, you don't have to belittle her like that. What kind of moron says, "if I lose her (new PA), it's nothing, if I lose *insert Boss' name here* and *insert Director of Photography here* then it's big"? Only you. You try running daily operations without a PA. I'd like to see how everything turns out.
You're two faced and probably lick slippers for a living. Plus, you bullshit a lot too. Can't believe I almost forgot that point about you. My bad.
I don't have as high an EQ as my boss but eventually, I WILL die from internal combustion for having to see you everyday.
Lastly, THANK YOU for providing us victims, conversation currency, for the past few days.
Sincerely (and I can never be more sincere than this),

As I remembered la, he said, "You say jump, I ask how high." I know it doesn't make sense here. But seriously, that's what he said. Perhaps he was talking from our boss' POV. I don't know.
And he said, if he loses the producer and the accountant then it's big.

Commenter / blogger Spotted Toad writes about Raj Chetty's new study of the backgrounds of American patent inventors that I analyzed in Taki's Magazine:
Spotted Toad says: • Website
December 6, 2017 at 11:16 am GMT • 300 Words
As Steve has noticed, Chetty's previous studies have tended to seem dense and unobservant but more or less on the right track; this one just seems wrong headed and destructive.
The way they identify high scoring students (to make the claim that high achieving blacks and women are underrepresented) is just by taking the top 5 percent of scorers on the 3rd grade standardized math test [in New York City public schools]
Chetty assumes that everybody who makes the top 5% cutoff in math test scores on the third grade test in NYC public schools has an equal chance of earning a patent in later life, and then is shocked, shocked to find that Asians and whites and boys and affluent kids actually earn more patents than blacks and Hispanics and girls and poor kids.
Oddly enough, he admits that the power of math scores to accurately predict becoming an inventor with at least one patent increases steadily from 3rd grade to 8th grade, but he insists on using third grade scores.
. That is…not a good way of identifying really smart kids.
The Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth took kids who scored in the top 3% in 7th grade (by which time IQs are much more stable and predictive of adult ability) and then gave them the SAT. The kids in the top quartile on the SAT were much more likely to get patents later on than the kids in the bottom quartile (out of the top 3% kids, so everyone was pretty smart.) In other words, there's a big difference between a kid who is in the top 0.75% in math ability in 7th grade and kid who is just in the top 3%, in terms of whether they get a patent eventually or become a published scientist or whatever. But you can't get a nice diverse group of kids who score in the top 0.75% in 7th grade on a well designed test the way you can for the top 5% in 3rd grade on a really low reliability test.
There's also the issue of course of mechanical and spatial abilities that are correlated with IQ but aren't being directly measured, but probably make a difference for inventiveness. But those abilities probably are even more undiverse than math, given everything we know about the world. Tinkering around in your basement and building stuff is pretty much the most white guy thing in the world.

France and the United States will present a "common front" in the fight against a "shared threat", the French presidency said Saturday after Francois Hollande spoke by phone with US President Barack Obama to express his condolences over the shooting in California. "The two presidents reaffirmed the conclusions of their discussions in Washington and Paris in recent days, that in the face of a shared threat, France and the United States will form a common front with their allies by uniting their efforts and their means," the Elysee Palace said in a statement.

Do We Have Too Many Recruiter And HR Events In Minneapolis And St Paul
June 29, 2017
Since announcing the Midwest Recruiting Bootcamp (July 31 and August 1, 2017) online last night and through an email newsletter this morning I have received a large number of supportive messages from friends and colleagues. Those messages are similar with conversations I have had with recruiters, HR leaders, executives and civic leaders in Minneapolis/St Paul and the Midwest over the past months about the need to "amp up" the regions recruiting game.
There's no doubt there is a need, and demand, for an event like this.
So let's get to it…
Are there too many Recruiter and HR events in Minneapolis and St Paul?
Hell no.
Let me be more clear… HELL NO.
At a time when surveys say we are near an all time high point that workers are looking for a new job yet most employers are having a hard time hiring…
When a statistic says Minneapolis/St Paul may be 100,000 workers short by 2020 and other cities in the Midwest are struggling to get people to move in the area…
When there is a growing shift of people away from the West Coast…
Our region needs to a better job recruiting and that starts with doing a better job teaching Recruiters, HR pros, Hiring Managers how to source, recruit, market, hire, on board and retain workers.
So do I think adding a new event or group to the mix detracts from the others… hell no.

text: As featured in this necklace from Bonnies' Gem Creations on Etsy.com (see http://tinyurl.com/aobrdl3 ), jade is a stone thought to strengthen the heart and to bring abundance to the wearer. (Note the solid green bead is an example of green jade; the other jades shown in this lovely piece are African Jade, found only in South Africa, and Peace Jade from China -- a combination of serpentine, stichtite and white quartz.) Green Jade is a translucent to opaque stone. Noted for its toughness, it was actually used in prehistoric times for tools and weapons. It can be found all around the world -- in Brazil, Australia, Russia, Asia, Siberia, Taiwan, China, Europe, Africa and Switzerland. In China, India, Japan and Korea, jade beads have been highly esteemed; the Mayan culture of Belize, Mexico and Guatemala used it as adornment for both the living and the dead. It was often a material for carving in China and pre-Columbian Central America. Some say jade is a good stone to wear during sleep, having a beneficial effect upon the dream life. Another recommendation is to use the stone to keep from being too attached to the material world, by wearing it when hiking, gardening or relaxing out of doors -- as it is thought to draw upon the Earth's life force and carry the signature of nature into artificial/sterile environments. Whatever your beliefs about stones and their characteristics, there is no doubt that jade is one of the most royal and beautiful of stones. In China, the traditional character for 'king' was an image of three jade beads. When paired with gold or any number of complimentary beads, you are sure to have a creation fit for royalty!

[Guides] Blood StoneA little-appreciated gem that was one of the last efforts from the talented team at Bizarre Creations.
[Guides] Afro SamuraiA relatively short game still manages to offer challenging roadblocks along the way. And so there is a guide...
In some ways it feels like the best Disgaea game to date, but the Devil is in the details...
If you'd ever like to challenge yourself, try to write a comprehensive review for a Disgaea game and spend less than 1000 words in the effort. It can be done, as I and others have proven, but it's quite difficult. You have to gloss over stuff. You have to gloss over so. Much. Stuff.
Fans of the Disgaea series know about all that stuff, though. They've probably played most or all of the previous games in the series--as I have--and really they just want to know what makes this latest trip to the Netherworld so special. I think many of them are just looking for an excuse to return to that world, because let's face it: the Netherworld rocks!
The good but not great game I was playing when my backwards-compatible PS3 called it quits.
As I was spending a few last minutes goofing around with Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX before sitting down to write my review, my PlayStation 3 unexpectedly powered down and left me staring at a blank television screen.
"That's not good," I said to myself. "That's not good at all."
I was playing on my trusty old 60GB system because my newer 500GB unit--which I had recently purchased to serve as an eventual replacement for the backwards-compatible model--was being sent out to Sony a second time for in-warranty repairs.
No rhythm game fanatic should miss the opportunity to dive into the Project DIVA F world.
There seem to be two sorts of people in the world: those who dig the Vocaloid characters that play a starring role in Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F on PlayStation 3, and those who really hate them. I haven't found a lot of people who fall anywhere in the middle of those two extremes.
Myself, I thought the Vocaloids were quite charming. I also thought the game in which they appear is a real treat. SEGA didn't have to take a chance localizing such a title, but I'm glad it did because there's not a lot else like it available in North America. Typically, you'd have to resort to an import shop.
Not as touching a game as the title perhaps suggests, but still good fun.
What exactly is a Katamari? I've played through a number of games in the series at this point, and I'm still not sure. Neither are other gamers, it would seem.
"I didn't even read the review," one reader wrote in the comments area at the bottom of my Touch My Katamari review at GameSpot. "I just came here for the comments."
Normally, such a comment would irritate me because it amounts to someone ignoring those words I labored over and rubbing my face in it, but in this case I get where that reader is coming from. The title of the game is funny, and that was surely the whole point.

Vegetarian diets are diets that eliminate all or most animal products, in particular, and especially to exclude food from dead animals.
Related Articles:
So there are variations between different types of diets are:
* Vegan: eat only plant products.
* Lacto: consume plant products and products derived from milk
* Lacto-ovovegetarian plant products: consumption, milk and eggs.
Semi-vegetarian *: Only a diet including meat from red meat, lets include chicken or fish, dairy products, eggs and plant products.
People can follow a vegetarian diet for different reasons, creed, religion, economics, or health, but in any case must be well informed and know that offers advantages and disadvantages.
Vegetarian diets should be considered a good and balanced nutrition and components. Especially in children and adolescents who require certain essential elements for growth.
The elements may be lacking in vegetarian food is a particular protein, vitamin B12, vitamin D, riboflavin, calcium, iron and other minerals.
Among the proteins normally miss a call "complete", most commonly in meat, fish and eggs and that has all the amino acids necessary for life.
In the vegetable proteins tend to have "incomplete", which does not have a few amino acids in sufficient quantity for development, such as cereals and pulses.
Also no need to eat animal products for protein is "incomplete" and that plants a mixture of two proteins that are incomplete or can not obtain the necessary amino acids. For example, by mixing milk with cereal, beans, rice, or cereal / pasta with cheese.
Therefore, a strict vegetarian should make certain concessions to lead a more balanced diet. With more healthy vegetarian diet of animal products (lacto and lacto-ovovegetarian).
* During the first year of life breast milk or formula is required and is a staple food.
* Children do not miss a replacement should include calcium, protein, vitamin D, riboflavin.
* If you do not eat animal foods should be given supplements of vitamin B12.
* Before age 2 should not be made without fat diet.
* To obtain an adequate intake of iron is to eat prunes, fortified cereals, raisins and spinach.

PSB M4U 2 Review by Digital Audio Review
June 13, 2013
Editor John Darko of Digital Audio Review travels the distance with the PSB M4U 2 Headphones to hear how these active noise-cancelling cans stand up to everything from busy streets to noisy airplane engines. Favouring the design inside and out, Darko explores the acoustic benefits of the M4U 2's 'weightier' active mode with a 'tighter and leaner' bass response, and choses this 'super-sturdy' noise-canceller for his next long haul across the world.
"Build quality is super-sturdy – a well-cushioned metal headband with metal hinges for foldaway storage."
"The textural information reproduced on the plucked bass sample at the core of "Her Face Forms In Summertime" is stellar. Ditto bass definition and fortitude."
"This is where the PSB M4U 2 can-can into a field of their own: aesthetics that draw the attention of the Beats (by Dre) crowd with a sound that far surpasses the same. Effective noise cancellation seals the deal on these being my choice for future long haul travel."

Today's early alarm called us out in search of a good shepherd.
Shepherds, good and bad, are easy to find in the hills surrounding Jerusalem. Today we travelled through the tribal territory of Judah; David's stomping ground where he and countless others have led their flocks.
We have many pictures of shepherds, sheep, and goats but our final assignment was to find more photos of a good shepherd leading his flocks. Shepherds may be young boys or girls, or older women and men. Today many shepherds wear jeans and ball caps. However, there are preserved areas where the Biblical time periods remain seemingly untouched. Ancient practices, dress, and generations of tradition are evident throughout the hills of Palestine where the bedouin roam, and where we travelled today in search of a good shepherd.
"I am the Good Shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me - just as the Father knows me and I know the Father - and I lay down my life for the sheep." -John 10:14&15
Your life may be in just as much transition as Geoff and I's or far more settled. Either way we all remain in desperate need of the Good Shepherd's guiding voice. HIS voice is not the one yelling to frighten us this way or that causing us to make decisions based on fear. His voice speaks peace and fiery passion into our hearts. It takes discipline to learn to recognize HIS voice above the turmoil, but once you hear it, you know it is HIM. May our Good Shepherd bless us all as we seek to know only HIS voice, following as HE leads.


text: Hello, I have a strange problem! I installed on my AK RPG card the new firmware 4.11 containing the Bliss functionality. All works fine except the action replay codes. When I am looking for the codes, it works and I can go through the list of codes and select the ones to activate. Then the system creates a ".cc" file. The problem is that the name of this file is wrong! Let's take the following example: we have the file "Mario Kart.nds", we are looking for the codes, select the codes we want to activate and then the system creates the file "Mario Kart.cc". The content of the file is correct but it doesn't work, the codes are not activated in the game. But if I rename manually the file to "Mario Kart.nds.cc", it works! But of course, we can't modify this renamed file with the firmware... Does somebody had the same problem? Could you please help me to fix it? Thanks.

By: F. Scott Fitzgerald
288 pages
This Side of Paradise, F. Scott Fitzgerald's romantic and witty first novel, was written when the author was only twenty-three years old. This semi-autobiographical story of the handsome, indulged, and idealistic Princeton student Amory Blaine received critical raves and catapulted Fitzgerald to instant fame.
Completion: I finished it. I suppose that's a good thing? I did read this for college so that helped me get through it.
Writing/Style: You can definitely tell this is Fitzgerald's debut. You get a few glimmers of the gorgeous imagery and style Fitzgerald is known for, but it's not there nearly enough to counteract the story's shortfalls.
Characters: Tired of all those angsty YA heroines? Meet Amory Blaine. He'll make you want those YA heroines back as he goes through his privileged white boy life. The other characters aren't anything to write home about either.
Plot/Pacing: What plot? What pacing? But, seriously, we follow Amory through a large chunk of his life from childhood to post-college, and the pace meanders through as Amory slowly discovers himself. If Amory was more likable, this might not of been as much of a negative, but as it is, the slow pacing makes the book even more of a struggle to finish.
World-building/Atmosphere: When you are able to look over Amory's big egotistic head, you can really see what it was like in the 1920's. In particular, I wish college today was more like it was in Fitzgerald's time where you went to class but didn't worry about tests or homework and just went on wild adventures. Well, like college back then but minus the racism and sexism, of course.
Sub-genres (Romance, Mystery, Humor, etc.): No mystery, for sure. If there was humor, I didn't catch it. As far as romance goes, Amory is in several romantic relationships, but I never felt emotionally invested in any of the relationships. This is probably because the relationship he shared with the "love of his life" was a very unhealthy, narcissistic relationship for the both of them. It's very melodramatic, and it technically fits what the story is going for, but it does not do anything to make Amory more likable.
FINAL VERDICT: If you are a huge fan of Fitzgerald's, then you'll probably want to check this book out. Or rather, you probably already have. From a certain angle, it is interesting to see how Fitzgerald progressed in his writing and to see bits of his own life mixed in the fiction. However, for most of you, if I were to recommend a Fitzgerald work, this one would not be it. I would recommend The Great Gatsby. There's just more of everything that Fitzgerald is known for in The Great Gatsby because by the time he wrote it Fitzgerald had figured out his own writing and polished his ideas.

Effect of Feed Additives on Amino Acid and Dipeptide Transport by Intestines of American Lobster and Atlantic White Shrimp

Previous nutritional physiology research using L-histidine and zinc in American lobster intestine (Homarus americanus) has suggested that these solutes can be co-transported as complexes (Histidine-Zinc-Histidine) across the intestine using a peptide transporter. Furthermore, transport of L-leucine was shown to be inhibited by high calcium concentrations. Dipeptide and bis-complex transport and the role of calcium were investigated in the perfused intestines of lobster and Atlantic white shrimp (Litopenaeus setiferus). Following trans-intestinal transport, serosal medium was analyzed for amino acid composition by gas chromatography. In lobster, the transport of glycylsarcosine (Gly-Sar) from mucosa to serosa was stimulated two-fold with luminal pH 8.5, compared to the pH 5.5 control. Mucosa to serosa and serosa to mucosa fluxes of Gly-Sar were measured; the dipeptide was transported intact in both directions, but the net flux was from mucosa to serosa. The use of 0.5mM calcium chloride stimulated Gly-Sar transport two-fold, compared to 25 mM. In shrimp, the addition of 50 µM zinc chloride increased the rate of L-histidine transport, while Gly-Sar inhibited histidine transport in the presence of zinc. The rate of histidine transport was significantly higher with 1mM calcium chloride than with 25mM. These results suggest that shrimp transport bis-complexes in a manner similar to lobster. High calcium concentration had an inhibitory effect on both amino acid and dipeptide transport. Proposed mechanisms accounting for the effects of metals and calcium on trans-intestinal transports of both amino acids and dipeptides by lobster and shrimp digestive tracts are discussed.

California Bill To Disclose Large-Volume Water Users Defeated In Legislature
In March, Assemblyman Mark Stone, D., 29th Dist., introduced an amendment to the California Public Records Act that would make publicly available water usage rates of industrial, institutional and commercial users.

The Reserve Bank of Australia has again left its main policy rate unchanged at a record-low 1.50 percent, in line with the consensus forecast. This rate was last changed in August last year, when it was cut by 25 basis points. The RBA will publish updated growth and inflation forecasts later in the week.
The statement accompanying today's decision notes that conditions in the global economy are continuing to improve while again pointing to risks to the outlook for Chinese growth. Ahead of the publication of revised forecasts the statement advises that the RBA's assessment of the economic outlook is "largely unchanged". The economy is still expected to grow at an annual pace of around 3.0 percent over the next couple of years while the unemployment rate is forecast to decline "a little". Officials, however, believe wage growth will remain subdued, underpinning their forecast for inflation to pick up only "gradually".
The main change in economic conditions that has taken place since the RBA's last meeting at the start of July has been a sharp appreciation of the local currency. After officials had previously noted that a stronger currency would "complicate" adjustment in the domestic economy, today's statement highlights that this development represents a downside risk for both the inflation and growth outlook.
The minutes for the RBA's July meeting showed there had been a discussion about the current level of policy rates, which were described as "clearly expansionary". This suggested that the policy rate would need to increase if and when officials decide that a more neutral policy stance is warranted. The subsequent shift in the exchange rate, however, suggests that officials are less likely to make such a decision in the near term, with today's statement again noting the support low interest rates are providing to the domestic economy.
The Reserve bank of Australia (RBA) announces its monetary policy with regard to interest rates on the first Tuesday of each month with the exception of January when it is on vacation. The RBA is the central bank of Australia and its duty is to contribute to the stability of the currency, full employment, and the economic prosperity and welfare of the Australian people. It does this by setting the cash rate to meet an agreed medium-term inflation target, working to maintain a strong financial system and efficient payments system.
The Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA's) main responsibility is monetary policy. Policy decisions are made by the Reserve Bank Board with the objective of achieving low and stable inflation over the medium term. Other responsibilities include maintaining financial system stability, while at the same time promoting the safety and efficiency of the payments system. The RBA regards appropriate monetary policy as a major factor contributing to the Australian dollar's stability, which in turn leads to full employment and the economic prosperity for Australia.
The RBA is unique among the central banks - it has two boards with complementary responsibilities. The Reserve Bank Board is responsible for monetary policy and overall financial system stability. The Payments System Board has specific responsibility for the safety and efficiency of the payments system.
The RBA sets an interest rate at which it lends to financial institutions. This interest rate then affects the whole range of interest rates set by commercial banks and other institutions for their own savers and borrowers. It also tends to affect the price of financial assets, such as bonds and shares, and the exchange rate, which affect consumer and business demand in a variety of ways. Lowering or raising interest rates affects spending in the economy.
The level of interest rates affects the economy. Higher interest rates tend to slow economic activity; lower interest rates stimulate economic activity. Either way, interest rates influence the sales environment. In the consumer sector, few homes or cars will be purchased when interest rates rise. Furthermore, interest rate costs are a significant factor for many businesses, particularly for companies with high debt loads or who have to finance high inventory levels. This interest cost has a direct impact on corporate profits. The bottom line is that higher interest rates are bearish for the financial markets, while lower interest rates are bullish.

One of the finest pieces of entertainment engineering ever….
Filed under: media | Tags: K'Naan, Music, Song of the Week, Wavin Flag
K'Naan is a Somali refugee who settled in Canada with his family. HIs hip hop is crafted with influences from old line rappers and world music from diverse corners including Youssou N'Dour of Senegal and Wyclef Jean. The track 'Wavin' Flag' of his latest album 'Troubador' can barely be described as hip hop, unlike most of the album, but it's an exceptional track and this week's Song of the Week.
It's worth owning the studio version, because it is beautifully produced, but here is a live version done recently…the message is carried more than adequately even if the performance doesn't have the polish of the album.
Filed under: media | Tags: Lady Gaga, Music, Poker Face, Song of the Week
Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" has been on the charts for 9 months now, but the single and video for "Poker Face" also off her "The Fame" album is now climbing the charts and is getting a ton of airplay in my house. This is a serious case of an artist not needed more help, but if the main release doesn't sell you, perhaps the cabaret-style acoustic version recorded at the office of Cherry Tree Records. The Lady can genuinely sing and play keyboards.
…and a more mainstream live performance at a live German music show….
…not sure what the four teens standing around looking awkward are about…..
Filed under: media | Tags: Alesha Dixon, Mambo, Music, The Boy Does Nothing
Not a Song of the Week, but this mambo piece by Alesha Dixon is a lot of fun….
Filed under: media | Tags: "Falling Away", "Jupiter Rising", Music, Song of the Week
This week's Song of the Week is 'Falling Away' by LA's Jupiter Rising, a hip-hop duo made up of veteran San Diego musician Spencer Nezey and vocalist Jessie Payo. They describe the music as "state of the art pop, with clever twists".
Their album, 'The Quiet Hype' will be available March 17th.
Filed under: media | Tags: Music, New Band of the Week
They won MTVU's Freshmen Five a couple of weeks ago, and look like a band with the legs to become a success. The Freshman Five entry was their video for Turn Me Off. Below you can sample their single 'Paper Face' which is a little more frenetic but no less worthy.
The band was formed in 2002 and has evolved into a four piece band from its original two. 2008 brought a series of higher profile gigs, and it looks like the band is starting to crack into the mainstream with appearances at SXSW and NoisePop.
You can hear more at their MySpace page.
Filed under: media | Tags: Music, Rock, Song of the Week, Springsteen, Working on a Dream
Bruce Springsteen's contributions to The Wrestler won a Golden Globe this week, but the real hit off the album is Springsteen's hopeful tone in most of the tracks, especially this week's Song of the Week, 'Working on a Dream'. This is more polish/production and less energy than his heyday hits like Born to Run, but much more sincere than 80's/90's pop he churned out, like Born in the USA.
You can catch the video and concert information for his tour starting April 1st at his Myspace page or his website. The video below is the trailer for The Wrestler starring Mickey Rourke.

Norm Graf wins the prototype division, Bill Brehm wins GTE and Eric Elliott wins GTC at Malaysia in the CMS North American Racing Series!!
Writeup by James Knowles, screenies by Tim Collier
After the previous round in Japan the NARS circus had a short hop down to Malaysia for the next round of the championship. But this is not just any circuit-it is the Sepang International Circuit, and while it is an absolutely outstanding facility in every sense of the word, it is also Track by Tilke, and this evokes a certain emotion out of many a driver.
First a piece from Wikipedia on Tilke track design:
Tilke's track designs have been the subject of criticism. A 2009 profile in The Guardian noted that Tilke "has been accused of penning boring tracks and, even worse, of butchering legendary ones like Hockenheim." Former driver and team owner Sir Jackie Stewart was critical of Tilke in a 2011 piece in The Daily Telegraph, blaming his designs for the lack of overtaking and excitement at many Formula One races, saying they "are largely carbon copies of each other". Stewart, while praising the vast improvement the designs have brought to the sport's safety as well as "bringing fantastic amenities and luxuries to the sport", argued that the tracks have "gone too far the other way" in terms of safety. His primary complaint was that the large tarmac run-off areas fail to "penalize mistakes".
Others have defended him. Driver and commentator Anthony Davidson said that Tilke "understands the demands of the modern cars...he gives us run-off areas and it's all well thought out. They are enjoyable to race on because they suit modern F1 cars. At a track like Silverstone you do not get as much overtaking because it was designed for cars that were slower and did not depend on downforce for speed. But the circuits designed in recent years have a long straight and bigger braking zone." Similar praise has come from Clive Bowen, the managing director of Apex Circuit Design, who called Istanbul "a technical and aesthetic tour de force". He also defended Tilke's safety-enforced changes to existing tracks, noting: "By cutting off that long blast down through the woods at Hockenheim he was just joining the dots he did not have much room for maneuver."
Now some words from the CMS World Division drivers, some positive, some negative
CMS Driver Scott Beck
I think Tilke tracks are horrible. They're all basically the same. They all have those horrible turns that get tighter as they go. Like at Sepang, Korea, China and maybe a few more. Singapore, Valencia and Abu Dhabi are basically the same.
CMS Driver Wayne Fitzgerald
Sepang is a great track. But there's nothing easy about it. The T1/T2 shredder combo tests mechanical grip and patience, T4 with it's transition from uphill to flat, the big sweeps to test how aero-loose you dare to go, the breath-taking double apex at T7 and T8, the nasty little uphill hairpin at T9, the two decreasing radius curves at T11 and T14 with the gut-check T12 and T13 combo between, then two monstrous straights in case you need to go get a beer. What's not to like? I think Sepang is a great track.
CMS Driver Troy Dalton
I have to give Tilke a little credit, who else would think to build a track with straights large enough to serve as emergency landing areas for passing 747's.
Lets see how the fellas did this evening
Norm Graf took pole in the prototype division with a 1:52.579 in the Oreca-Nissan. Jon Uyan was second on the grid in the Ligier with a 1:53.993. Third spot went to John Nelson in an Alpine with a 1:55.079 followed closely by Dave Slee with a 1:55.135 and Jerry McComas with a 1:57.696 both driving Orecas.
In GTE Bill Brehm took class pole in the BMW M3 with a 2:04.702 followed by Tom DeLibero with a 2:05.512 in a Ferrari followed by Tom Nasella third on the grid with a 2:07.172 in a BMW.
In GTC Eric Elliott put in a solid Q lap with a 2:09.028. Second in GTC was Paul Hamilton with a 2:09.387 followed by David Anderson with a 2:11.389 and Frank Speer with a 2:13.694.
Uyan kept the heat on Graf all race long, but in the end it just wasnt enough. Graf took victory in the prototype division leading Jon Uyan at the flag by 9 + seconds. Kudos to these two for an outstanding close race. Third in prototypes and a lap down was Jerry McComas the final finisher in the prototype division.
In GTE it was Bill Brehm to take the win for Porsche 11 seconds ahead of Tom Delibero who took second for Ferrari with Tom Nasella in third for BMW, just under three seconds behind Dilibero. Close finish in GTE.
In GTC Eric Elliott lapped the field, followed by Paul Hamilton in second, David Anderson rounding out the podium and Frank Speer fourth.
Next CMS NARS race is Road America -SEE YOU THERE!

What holds us together? What makes society society? Or community community?
Social critics and philosophers, from the Frenchman who celebrated democracy in America, Alexis de Tocqueville, to 20th century English skeptic Michael Oakeshott, have praised civil association and voluntary associations. That is, human beings conversing and working together not as governors or the governed but as citizen volunteers in common rule or enterprise.
It's not social services from government that give our life together depth and texture, they said. Not political pressure groups. Not even churches. But it is civil associations — what you might call neighbors and friends in bonds — that strengthen both individuals and communities.
I have visited three civil associations in Toledo recently. And one of the things that is interesting to me is that they are all three flexible and practical. They respond to human need as they find it.
One is Adelante, Toledo's Hispanic American nonprofit. It has long been on Broadway in the South End. Adelante's mission is to educate, advocate for its clients in the various governmental bureaucracies at all levels, and offer support services, in the neighborhood, city, and region. Adelante also offers direct assistance — from tutoring to help for young mothers and about-to-be mothers.
A second voluntary association is the Padua Center, a sort of neighborhood center and tutoring service in the Kwanzaa Park neighborhood. It is also a nonprofit and is located in an old Catholic church rectory on Nebraska Avenue.
Like Adelante it is in an "emerging neighborhood," which means a poor neighborhood that refuses to quit. Padua is "Christian" in inspiration and action and run by a nun — Sister Virginia Welch. And, like Adelante, it simply tries to meet people where they are, and help them.
Throughout the day, Padua practices hospitality. Each morning, the center serves coffee and donuts to whoever comes through its doors. Food and kindness: Like Dorothy Day and the Catholic Workers. Like Jesus and his followers. No preaching, just neighborliness. Padua runs a neighborhood garden. Its space and its produce are open to any and all.
Padua also runs what it calls its "Padua Possibilities" program.
When a student receives a suspension from school and that student loses vital days of academic learning, Padua can step in with its alternative placement program. This consists of tutoring, behavior modification, and moral coaching. The tiny staff at Padua try to involve the parents — "inconvenience them a bit," says Sister Ginny — sometimes to underline the need for the kid to change and sometimes to change the whole family dynamic. They also try to teach "peace education" to children who may be scrappers.
Presently the Padua Possibilities Program services Robinson School, Martin Luther King Academy for Boys, and Sherman Elementary.
Both of these civil or voluntary associations do what they do for very little money — roughly the cost of printer cartridges for the municipal government of the city of Toledo for a year.
At both places, when I stopped by recently, the spirit of the late Jack Ford hovered. Our former mayor founded Adelante and he was a close friend and supporter of Padua. They still talk about him at both places.
And then we have the Sylvania Franciscan Village — a unique civil association, in my life experience. It describes itself as "a new way of being together."
The Franciscan Village does not have one goal or end, but fosters the work of many people with many life-enhancing projects and goals. It is deeply rooted in the values of St. Francis of Assisi — that is its only unifying theme.
The Franciscan village helps to support Lourdes University and Bethany House (the residential shelter for battered women), but it also sponsors a guesthouse in Haiti, wellness and health-care programs, an old folks home, The Rev. Jim Bacik's lectures at Lourdes, other free public lectures and workshops on everything from theology to urban gardens — all manner of things. Last year it sponsored a forum and workshops by two parents who lost children at the gun slaughter at Sandy Hook, Conn.
Two Catholic sisters are responsible here too — Sister Mary Jon Wagner, OSF, head of the Sylvania Franciscan sisters of St. Francis, and Sister Janet Doyle, OP, head of the Franciscan Village.
De Tocqueville viewed voluntary organizations as the essential expression of American democracy and social vitality. Mr. Oakeshott believed something similar. He said that civil associations are what law and the state ride upon.
In Toledo, these three nourish our community the way rain nourishes the Earth. We often take such organizations for granted and sometimes don't see them at all; they are invisible to most of us most of the time. But they are organic to our community in a way that government can never be. They connect people. They teach people. They help people. They inspire.

PoE made simple on all Protege displays
Even though only the Pro4 and Pro6 have embedded Power over Ethernet splitters, and thus make it a simple one-wire run from a utility area to the display - NOW Pro8, Pro8a/w, Pro10a/w can also easily be professionally installed using simple CAT5e and PoE injector and splitters. What are the specifics?
See below for specs. USE the 802.3at models for larger displays.
PoE Voltage Source Gear Requirement (IMPORTANT):
IEEE Std. 802.3af limits PSE power delivery to <13W at PD input (Type 1 PD). Pro4, Pro6
IEEE Std. 802.3at allows for 13W-25W power levels (Type 2 PD). Pro8, Pro8a/w, Pro10
See the Power Consumption Specs on the website or call/email a wizard for more info.

Integrated Usability Wizard - Here's to Jobs!
We believe his greatest accomplishment is the maniacal attention devoted to usability - without which we are stuck with just hardware as has been the case for decades with others - think MOT, Nokia, MSFT and others. And on top of this - Integrated Usability - with is the killer app, BTW - binding apps with other apps and hardware itself. A truly holistic (and refreshing) approach that obvious hit the ball out of the park. Thank you Steve for not leading via democracy!

Domestic US energy self sufficiency?
Since Protege is energy efficient we thought it worthwhile to chime in and say "YES" and we have ideas on how within 10 years. 4 simple steps:
1 Embrace conservation via higher gas taxes. 2 Use taxes to vastly improve ALL modes of efficient transport. 3 Embrace plentiful CNG and convert most and al new coal utilities to gas. 4 Oil is by far the most powerful and portable commodity for energy and cheap materials. Get with it and lessen DC hassling. Already regulated to max and generating 000's of jobs. Buzzkill not welcome. Nukes? Yes we need them long term. Look to France.

In a Field of Sunflowers
If you know my daughter at all you know she always likes to make those nutty poses, But that is what makes her so special. To be honest she is exactly like my side of the family, we just love being goofy.
I was driving and found this waterway filled with sunflowers and I couldn't get home fast enough to let Olivia know about it. I then told my husband he has to plant them in some of our waterways next year because it is just breathtaking to look at. I look at how breathtaking this is and then how much more beautiful Heaven will be when I finally arrive at my eternal home.
Needless to say I told Olivia we need to go and she was like, well ok. She didn't seem nearly as excited as me. So a couple of days later I drove her past the flowers and she was like, "Oh my gosh, we have to do it!" She was just as excited as me.
For me as a mom, it is just hard to imagine that my baby girl will be graduating this upcoming May. It seems like yesterday I was holding her in a baby papoose carrier as I hustled around and tried to chase her twin 2 year old brothers to wrestle into car seats so we could go pick up their 4 year old brother, Seth, who was needing picked up from preschool. If that wasn't a challenge enough to get them into the van within the locked garage, try unloading them and walking into the preschool to get him. I had to put the twins on leashes just to get Seth. Who needed weight watchers back then, I was exhausted by lunch time! Olivia, I was thankful was a pretty easy baby, she never had issues as long as she was connected to my hip.
Seventeen years later, I am looking into her face and amazed at what a wonderful woman she has turned out to be. Now, she is far from innocent, I know a swear word has came out of those pretty lips more than I would like to accept and she has probably done things crazy kids do, but guilt usually gives over when she does something she shouldn't and she comes to me and tells me what she did or didn't do that she should have!
I give all the credit to her faith. Jesus Christ is a huge factor in her life, and I know at times it has not been easy. Friends would invite her to go and do things and she just wouldn't go because she knows their may be things that go on that she wants to not take part in. Her values mean something to her, but it comes with a price. Christ never said it would be easy but He would never leave her. I know in the end she will grow up with respecting herself and knowing that peer pressure is something she would not fall into.
As her year quickly flashes past me and and I watch her graduate, I know that me and her daddy did good. We showed her God's love for her by keeping our family involved in church and talking of him freely in our home. We loved her, hugged her, always told her we love her. I even still sing her the song on how very much I love her. I would sing it for you now, but I know it would embarrass her. As she ends this chapter of her life and venture into her next, which I believe will be at USI (thankfully she has an amazing Aunt Carrie down there to watch over her) and regardless of my helicopter mother momentum I know that she has everything she needs to succeed, Jesus Christ.
So this is my senior momma blog. If you are interested in having your child's senior photos taken please feel free to call me or text me at 765-720-5628, or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or find me on Facebook at www.facebook.com/beckiarnoldphotography.

The Inside Art group at H.M. Prison Kirkham in Lancashire have created a large mosaic honouring the White Rose Group, a resistance movement by five students at Munich University in 1942.
You can read about the White Rose Group here.
The artwork features a White Rose within a flame, made up of hundreds of archival historic photographs of Nazi Germany and the members of the White Rose Movement.
The words within the flame are the text from a leaflet calling for active opposition to Nazi oppression. The two leading members of the group, Hans and Sophie Scholl are featured in portraits at the top of the artwork. Hans and Sophie Scholl threw the leaflets from the university balcony. They were arrested by Gestapo and executed.
Facilitated by Sarah Fleming.
Artwork by H.M.P Kirkham Library Inside Art group – Lee Smith, Geno Boyoh and Matthew Lydiard
