Not for the first time, the market is in need of a re-think on the single currency. I alluded to this at the start of the week (see "The euro dilemma") for two reasons. Firstly, the backdrop was becoming less negative for the currency. Secondly, as we suggested ahead of the move, a cut in the refinancing rate was the least effective option available to the ECB.
The fact that the refinancing rate was cut to 0.25% barely matters for the currency, because what matters are market rates (swap, deposit etc.). These hardly moved, with 1 year swap rates going from 0.14 to 0.115. This is the reality of a world of near-zero rates and ample liquidity. For the longer-term, consideration has to be given to the impact on rates paid by households and businesses in the broader economy. These barely budged in the wake of the May easing and will move even less in the wake of last week's move.
With regard to the backdrop to the euro, we should think less about the fact that rates are near zero (that's hardly unique these days) and focus more on the inflation and current account dynamics. In recent history, when countries have been experiencing low (<1%) or negative inflation and running current account surpluses, they've tended to see their currencies firm. This has been the case for Switzerland 2008 onwards, less so 2002-07 when inflation was mostly above 1%. A similar, although less prominent pattern exists with the yen, given that rising inflation and a falling current account have undermined it over the past year (along with the onset of Abenomics nearly a year ago).
The reasons? Capital preservation (from low inflation) and an underlying faith that the country does not need to attract overseas capital every year, one of the means by which this can happen is via a lower currency, which then threatens to push inflation higher. And when the Fed moves towards tapering, markets will become more divisive towards those running current account deficits and those not. During the period between May and September of this year, when markets moved to price tapering, there was a distinct difference between those currencies running surpluses and deficits, because of the support that QE had given over the preceding period.
The same largely held true for the majors. During the early May to early September period, countries running current account deficits were the ones that depreciated vs. the dollar (Aussie, Canadian dollar, Swissie and kiwi), with the exception of sterling (reacting to stronger data). The surplus countries (Eurozone, Japan, and Switzerland) appreciated.
With US data likely to disappoint between now and the end of the year, a re-test of the highs just above 1.38 is currently looking more likely than a push towards 1.30, that is if the history of low inflation and surplus FX dynamics re-asserts itself.

Reliance Retail has launched its two new entry level smartphones – LYF Flame 7S and Wind 4S in India. The Flame 7S is priced at Rs. 3,499, while the Wind 4S is priced at Rs. 7,699.
Given that the Flame 7S costs just Rs. 3,499, we are not expecting much from the phone. It comes with a 4-inch WVGA display, with screen resolution of 840 x 480 pixels. On top of that, the company has added a layer of Asahi Dragontrail Glass for protection.
The phone is powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core Streadtrum SC9830A processor with Mali400 MP2 GPU, along with 1GB of RAM. It has got 8GB of internal storage and a microSD card slot for expand the storage up to 32GB.
It packs a 5 MP auto focus rear camera with LED Flash and a VGA front-facing camera. The dual SIM smartphone runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system.
Like every other LYF smartphone, this one too comes with 4G connectivity support. Apart from 4G, it also supports WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS. The phone is powered by a 1800mAh battery.
On the other hand, the Wind 4S is a budget phone with a 5-inch HD screen. However, it sports HD display, with screen resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. It is powered by a Snapdragon 210 quad-core processor, clocked at 1.3 GHz.
The phone packs 2GB of RAM, 16GB internal storage and supports expandable memory up to 128GB through microSD card. It has 8 MP auto focus rear camera with LED Flash and a 5 MP front-facing camera.
It supports 4G VoLTE, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS. It comes with a 4000mAh battery, making sure that you can go through the day without having to plug-in a charger.
Like Flame 7S, this one too runs on an older version of Android operating system, Android 5.1 Lollipop. The The Wind 4S is available in Black, Brown and Blue colours.

Most pros agree that if you can afford a wool rug, buy one. "It's a sustainable, natural fiber and has the strength and longevity to make your purchase last," says Silver Spring-based designer Debbie Wiener. "It's what every-thing else tries to be." The material goes the distance thanks to lanolin, a wool grease that resists stains. So, look for a wool that isn't over-processed; it should leave a slightly greasy feeling on your hands after you rub it.

Summer 2017
Summer 2017
I hope you're all enjoying the summer so far…
Thanks so much to all of you who responded to my request regarding case studies for my wellbeing coaching training – it was great that so many of you responded! I hope to be qualified in the Autumn and will be offering a special reduced rate for those who are interested in having some sessions with me, so watch this space…
In this newsletter, I've included an interesting article on the possible psychological reasons for certain cravings.
Also, something I hear a lot about from many of you is how you feel GP's and consultants sometimes lack empathy, so the following may help explain why this is an issue.
The provision of compassionate care in all clinical scenarios is well understood to add various benefits including patient satisfaction, improvement in compliance, less complaints, improved practitioner wellbeing and professional satisfaction.
Studies have shown that the degree of compassion expressed by medical students progressively declines over their course of training and markedly so in their final clinical years. What is it about the medical training that prepares professionals focused on the resolution of illness that also denies them the skills necessary to engage with their patients utilising appropriate compassion and human feelings?
Once in practice, it's no better, the loss continues, General Practitioners, the front line of the NHS and frequently having to deal with the holistic care of the patient, unsurprisingly are found to have the highest levels of compassion among all specialities; however, they are also found to experience a very high rate of burn-out, with female doctors found to be prone to 'compassion fatigue' more so than male doctors.
Yet the population has never needed compassion more than it does now, and physicians also need the capacity to spend time, engage and inspire their patients; but the system is not aligned with these aims. The underlying cause is in part a process that for over 60 years has been designed to remove 'ownership' from personal health issues. That in effect personal responsibility can be transferred to the medical or health care providers and as such all activities that require a mix of change of behaviour and intervention, rather than an acute care intervention are mismatched with society and their needs.
Yet over 70% of us will die due to chronic, non infectious diseases, often at a substantial cost to family members and local resources. Whilst not all events that need long term care are attributable to behaviour, pretty much all have a connected element and yet these components are rarely addressed, rarely prioritised and rarely explained. These educational elements take time, take planning and take skills that are not available to the majority of physicians operating in the NHS. This mismatch is creating dissatisfaction across the entire spectrum of the population and health care, some feel they are being blamed, some that they are being denied and many just do not understand.
The role of allied health care providers such as Nutrtitional Therapists is currently to operate on the periphery of the NHS and it's here that they are mostly misunderstood or simply unknown to the majority of clinicians. Yet there are changes occurring across this divide, movements are emerging and engaging, it takes time but the sheer economic cost of producing unhappy compassionate compressed clinicians and losing them to early retirement or change in direction will leave a gap that needs filling.
As reported by Nutri-link
63% of the public – and 82% of GPs – don't trust drug trial claims
A McDonalds meal is over twice the cost of a homemade meal!
An apple a day could cut your risk of stroke by 45%
The following article by Dr Deena Minich on the Mind Body Green website may be of interest to some of you…
Rather than expressing our emotions, we sometimes stuff them down with food which our bodies translate as comfort and fulfillment.
Scientific research shows that when people have difficulty identifying the emotion they're experiencing and ways to deal with it, they're more prone to binge eating. The more readily we can express our emotions, the healthier our bodies, hearts and minds will be.
Cravings are a window to your inner landscape. By deciphering the real meaning of your cravings, you can get insight into what's truly gnawing at you from within. These are some patterns I've noticed based on my 20 years of working as a health expert.
1. Baked sweets (pastries, cakes, sweets, pies, etc.)
Sweet cravings are probably the most frequent craving people report to me. These people are often working too long and hard, moving from one to-do list item to another and feeling exhausted.
The real reason for this craving is they aren't experiencing enough joy — it's evaporated into their daily grind.
Alternative: Find an activity you enjoy and can indulge in for 30 minutes per day. Try taking a walk in the park, reading a good book, or treating yourself to a foot massage. Once you begin to let yourself have joy in your life, you won't be on the hunt for those sweet foods to do the trick.
2. Spicy
Those who like spicy food, even to the point at which their eyes start tearing, are most likely looking for intensity and action in their lives.
They love to be on the go — going to movies, traveling to distant countries, exploring new restaurants. When they haven't made the time to do these things, spicy food becomes the option to "get them going".
Alternative: What are small steps that you can change to give you the shift you need to feel "alive"? Trying stepping out there and taking a dance class that you haven't tried before, like Zumba, or even venturing out to the latest blockbuster action movie!
3. Salty
When we eat lots of salt, we move the water in our bodies. Salt is like a magnet for movement and flow, which is important for helping people to "go with the flow" of life and relax.
Alternative: Find ways that you can sink into the moments of life and reflect. Try deep breathing, running, or meditating. You may even want to try watercolor painting — using the water to flow with your creativity!
4. Caffeine
We want to be in the midst of it all, absorbing all the information we can, and remembering it so that we can be at the "forefront". At the core of all this mental juggling, is mental exhaustion.
Caffeine gives the false impression of keeping it all together and being mentally sharp, but really, it exhausts us further — especially in excessive amounts.
Alternative: Rather than that next cup of coffee or soda, give your mind a break and get some extra rest. Try taking a nap or going to bed early, then you'll really be able to concentrate.
5. Crunchy/crispy foods
Crunch, crunch. With every crunch, it's a cry of "hey, look at me!"
Perhaps we're angry and want to "snap" back at someone, but feel restrained. We might also want a "pat" on the back for a job well done. Crunchy foods give us the artificial center stage.
Alternative: See if you can understand what you really want to say. Write in a journal and when you're ready, try to express what you've been bottling up in a manner that's a win-win for all.
6. Chocolate
Ah yes…chocolate. Chocolate enables us to be blanketed with a feel-good, in-love feeling like no other.
It actually contains compounds that change our brain activity, so it's no surprise that we have these feelings.
Alternative: Take a deep breath and think about love in your life. How can you make changes to give and receive the love you need? Maybe you need to get or give a hug the next time a craving hits.
7. Soft, filling starches
Squishy, soft, and comforting. Starchy foods like bread, pasta, and even rice sound great when we need some hand-holding or hugs. We're seeking comfort and sustenance in hard times.
Alternative: Instead of bread, talk to a friend or join a support group. Put your momentum in the direction of making your life memorable with opportunities that are creative and health-promoting.
8. Ice cream
Our connection with ice cream often takes us back to childhood and memories of the summer. It imparts a feeling of freedom and being carefree. So when we're feeling hurt, we start lapping up the ice cream.
Alternative: List ways you can soothe and feel free in your daily life — like riding a bike or taking a bath and reflecting on simple ways to heal those deep hurts.
9. Cheese
For those with any "mother" issues in your life, whether over-mothering or needing mothering, cheese has probably been calling out to you.
When we need to be nourished, both physically and emotionally, it makes sense that we crave cheese. Cheese is made from milk, the essence of maternal nourishment. Cheese provides a grounding, earthy protein to keep us anchored into the human body.
Alternative: Do you need some nurturing and connection? Find a community that's meaningful for you. Create a space within a personal tribe where you feel safe to express yourself and share your inner thoughts.

This is a recipe from the Hairy Bikers but it's pretty healthy, especially if you add a few toasted nuts or feta or goats cheese plus a big green salad.
I think it's a really great quick and easy summer recipe.
Serves 4
2 tbsp olive oil
2 red onions, sliced into thin wedges
150g chickpea (gram) flour
1 tsp finely chopped rosemary
sea salt and black pepper
4 tomatoes, cored and diced
½ small red onion, finely chopped
1 small red chilli, finely chopped
zest of ½ lemon
1 tsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp olive oil
small bunch of basil, finely chopped
Heat a tablespoon of the oil in a frying pan and add the red onions. Fry them over a medium heat for at least 10 minutes until they have softened and started to caramelise. Set aside.
Put the chickpea flour in a bowl with a generous pinch of salt and whisk to remove any lumps. Gradually pour in 250ml of water and continue to whisk until you have a smooth batter with the consistency of thick double cream. Stir in the remaining olive oil and whisk to emulsify. Set the batter aside
To make the salsa, mix all the ingredients in a bowl and season well with salt and pepper.
You can make 2 large socca in a 25cm non-stick pan, or 4 in a smaller pan. If making 2 large socca, heat the pan and pour a few drops of oil into the pan and rub it over the base with kitchen paper. Pour half the batter into the pan and swirl to cover the base. Sprinkle over half the onions and half the rosemary, then cook over a medium heat for a few minutes until browned and crisping round the edges. Flip the socca over to cook the other side or put the pan under a medium grill to finish the cooking. Transfer it to a board or a large plate and repeat.
If you are cooking 4 socca, split the batter into 4 and proceed as above, using a quarter of the onions and rosemary each time. Cut the socca into wedges or serve whole with the salsa.
Just a reminder that 48 hours notice should be given for cancellations in order to avoid a charge
As many of you will know, Saturday morning appointments are in demand, so last minute cancellations for Saturdays are particularly frustrating for a self employed practitioner with a waiting list!
Thanks for your understanding
If you know someone who might find this newsletter interesting, please feel free to forward it to them.
And if I haven't seen you for a while, please don't hesitate to get back in touch if you feel you could benefit from further help.

Lol... An update after 4 months.... Firstly, I don't think there are anymore readers for my blog. I don't care much about it.. It's for my memories which I want to remember it always.
Why I never update my blog???
1) Busy
2) Not much to update
3) Lazy
4) Lazy
5) Lazy
Why I update now???
Because I have the mood to update...
Next question. How's my life???
Cool. Having my holidays. Staying at home relaxing before my 2nd year degree starts. When people are working, I'm sleeping and when people are sleeping, I "work". :D
I sure miss my uni friends and my melaka friends. It may be weird missing my melaka friends since I'm in melaka. Well, the reason is I'm staying in my room 24 hours in front of my beloved laptop and my friends have left melaka to further their studies. Oh well, that's life for me.... Just received the news that my cousin is going to the same university as me. Should I be sad or happy??? Maybe happy...
That's all????
YESS!!! That's all for now.... If there are still readers for my blog, i appreciate it so much and thank you for reading my blog. Take care my friends....

Sudden Post
Posted by Kelvin Hiu
Well i know i have not been updating this "dead" blog for few months since 2009 XD. Maybe didn't have the mood to blog. Now, i have the mood to blog XD. Been studying everyday and feel very boring. Nothing much happen to me actually. Very busy with my project, exams of course and last but not least my club. I became the president for UNMC IET(Institution of Engineering and Technology) Student Chapter. Have to plan and organize events.
Today have been a tiring day for me. Slept at 3am and woke up at 9am to get back to uni for exams. The reason that i slept late is because it was my last day to play online game for January haha. Can't play in uni because the internet sucks and they blocked it.
On my way back, was surprised that there was a road block on the highway. What is it for? To "saman" drivers who were speeding. Few police cars and trucks. They sure deserve the samans ^^.
Besides that, today i learnt something. I don't know it is right or wrong. Got my coursework marks. The people who think so much to solve the questions for the coursework got low marks and the one who don't think so hard to solve them get high marks. I was like WTF? All I can say now is the past is the past and think about the future.
Oh ya. New year. Nothing much about it and celebrate with my family in KL.
Nothing else I wana blog about. This will be my only post for January. Will be very busy studying. Having exams from 11th January till 22th January. ZZZZZZzzzzzz. And my 2nd sem start on 25th January. Thats the worst part.
Back to studies. :( Till the next post. Hope I get good marks and 1st class honour for my exams.
Bye bye. :)

Source: Place de la Republique – here is a recent addition, by Edouard Leon Cortes (1882-1969), to our Available Online Inventory.
In 1878, the town council of Paris proposed the building of a monument in the center of the city to celebrate the power and glory of the French Republic. Haussmann designed a large square whose center would feature a monument with the statue of the Republic (1883), approximately 10 meters high. The statue, created by the French sculptor Jules Dalou (1839-1902), depicts the events from the history of the Republic; its right hand holds an olive branch, while its left holds the Tables of the Law. Around the center pillar are three stone pillars that symbolize Freedom, Equality, and Fraternity. The stone pedestal has twelve bronze low-reliefs, which are joined by rosettes. Each bronze represents a major event in the birth of the Republic between 1789 and 1880. At the foot of the monument lies a green bronze lion in front of a ballot box symbolizing the "vote for all."

Ion Cleanse
Today our toxic exposure is at an all time high and toxins are one of the primary causes of degenerative diseases in people today like Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Kidney Problems, Autism, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD or ADHD) and Muscular Dystrophy.
Toxins come from: Our foods are sprayed with pesticides, our water has chlorine and fluoride. The air we breathe is polluted, our cleaning supplies, soaps, shampoos and detergents are loaded with chemicals and many have sodium laurel sulfate and is known to cause cancer. Our mercury fillings, lead, arsenic, aluminum, vaccinations that are given to us by the doctors. Then we have our household adhesives, paints and other home products like plastic used in the microwave, tobacco, drugs and more all contribute to more toxins in our bodies that lead to disease, allergies, mental incapacitation with side effects like swelling, rashes, insomnia, headaches, fatigue and pain.
"The EPA reports that in 2002 24,379 US facilities released 4.7 billion pounds of toxins into the atmosphere.
72 million pounds were known carcinogens. Depending on your size you inhale 3,000 to 8,000 gallons of air each day."
Toxins that enter the body turn to acid which leads to acidosis and disease.
Beginning Symptoms of Acidosis include:
Intermediate symptoms of acidosis include:
Advanced symptoms of acidosis include:
According to Dr. Robert O. Young's book, "Sick and Tired", the New Biology , most simply stated, is that the over-acidification of the body is the single underlying cause of all disease. Dr. Young has found that when the body is in healthy alkaline balance, germs are unable to get a foothold.
Low PH Balance leads to acidosis
Cancer, candida, yeast, mold, fungus, viruses, bacteria and parasites cannot survive in a ph of 7.0 or above.
How the EBR Platinum IonCleanse® Works
AC electricity is converted to low power DC electricity which flows through a patented electrode system that sits in the footbath. The electricity and the metal combine to split the water molecule into H+ and OH- ions. These ions travel through the body, neutralize oppositely charged particles and through powerful osmotic pressure pull those neutralized particles out of the body through whatever skin surface is in contact with the water.
An ion is a charged atom that has gained or lost an electron which creates a magnetic field capable of attaching to and neutralizing oppositely charged particles. These neutralized particles are extracted from the body through the process called osmosis. Osmosis is a scientific term that is used to describe the movement of particles through a membrane from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration. In this case, the higher concentration refers to the ion field that is set up by placing the array into the water while running the unit.
The array is placed into the water alongside the hands, feet, or body while the power supply delivers a low level direct current to the array. This causes the metals within the array in combination with water and salt to generate positively and negatively charged ions by separating oxygen and hydrogen in the water. We speculate that ions generated by theEBR Ion Cleanse® travel through the body attaching themselves to a multitude of toxic substances, thereby neutralizing their positive or negative charge. It may be possible to reduce pain and other symptoms caused by a lifetime of toxic buildup in the body (assuming the symptoms are caused by toxic buildup). The long-term effectiveness of the IonCleanse® detoxification process depends on other life-enhancing changes a person is willing to make.
Regional Toxicity
Water, metal and salt will combine to produce a light water color change, as well as objects in the water even without feet being submerged. The IonCleanse® neutralizes toxins in the water the same way it neutralizes toxins in the body. The predominant color of the de-ionized water is determined by the chemicals used by local water
authorities in combination with the pollutants common to that area. In Denver, Colorado, the predominant water color is orange; in Phoenix, Arizona it is orange-brown; in parts of Texas it is brown; yellow-green in Boise, Idaho.
Chinese acupuncturists understand the concept of regional toxicity as it relates to the ailments that predominate in a given area. Some areas of the country have higher joint complaints, while others report a higher frequency of kidney-bladder problems. Could it be that the toxins peculiar to an area gravitate toward a specific part of the body causing it to break down?


text: Why We Should Protect Long Island Estuaries Facts About the Three Largest Long Island Estuaries September 16th through the 23rd is National Estuaries Week. Since 1988, National Estuaries Week provides an excellent opportunity to celebrate our Long Island estuaries. What better a time to learn more about Long Island estuaries than now? An estuary is a coastal body of water where freshwater from rivers, streams and groundwater mixes with salt water from the ocean. Estuaries are usually protected by barrier islands or peninsulas, but are influenced by the tides. Their habitats can encompass shallow open water, saltwater marshes, swamps, sandy beaches, mud and sand flats, rocky shore, tidal pools and seagrass beds. Estuarine environments are often touted as some of the most ecologically productive on earth. Estuaries like our Long Island estuaries support unique communities of plants and animals that are adapted for this specific environment. Aside from their ecological importance, Long Island estuaries provide us with economic and recreational benefits that shape our way of life. Here are some unique facts attributed to the three largest Long Island estuary systems. Long Island Sound Designated an "Estuary of National Significance" in 1987 Home to 1,200 species of invertebrates Home to 170 species of finfish Contains 600 miles of coastline Contributes a whopping 9.4 billion dollars annually to the economy Average depth is 63 feet South Shore Estuary Reserve Encompasses 173 square miles of south shore bays and wetlands from Reynolds Channel in Nassau County to the eastern shores of Shinnecock Bay in Suffolk County Formed during the past 5,000 years Average depth is 15 feet The South Shore Estuary Reserve Act was passed by the NYS Legislature in 2001 to protect and manage the estuary system Contains more impaired surface waters due to nitrogen loading than any other region in the entire state. There are more designated "Significant Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitats" found in this system than any other region of the state. Peconic Estuary Situated between the north and south forks of Long Island, includes over 158,000 acres of surface water. Designated an "Estuary of National Significance" in 1993 The Peconic Estuary Program was formed to manage a comprehensive management plan to help restore and preserve the estuary's resources Hosts a mixture of coastal and underwater habitats that support 140 globally and locally rare species The Peconic Estuary and its watershed have bee identified by The Nature Conservancy as on of the "Last Great Places" in the western hemisphere The New York State Department of State has designated over 90 areas as significant coastal fish and wildlife habitats Do you want to learn more about Long Island estuaries?

If you're a copywriter, you may be familiar with the situation I'm about to describe.
You've been taught to write everything in plain English, free of jargon, and clearly and concisely. It doesn't matter if the brand you're writing for is business-to-consumer or business-to-business. At the end of the day, all communications is person-to-person.
So you write for a brand with this practice in mind. When you show them the work you've done, they tell you they want some things changed. This is inevitable.
But what they want changed is not what you're saying, but how you've presented what you're saying. They want the corporate-speak you spent ages removing back and the plain English you replaced this with made more complicated.
Learning and sales
Why should a brand hire a writer to make their language more accessible, only if they want it changed to a different shade of corporate?
This makes me wonder if only writers care about good writing. Writers want to learn about something, and phrase this in the best way possible. Businesses, on the other hand, want sales. Maybe they're worried plain English won't get them this.
Thick skin
For all the uncertainty in my writing ability this scenario makes me feel, it is proof of one thing I've been told copywriters need to have: a thick skin.
Copywriters should be used to their ideas getting changed or ignored, and not get emotionally attached to them. Even if the writer thinks the brand is wrong by making changes, not getting emotionally disturbed by these changes makes sleeping a lot easier.

The Gang-bangers must be taking marksmanship training, – their aim is getting better.
Boston Police just released data for the 11 months – 1 Jan – 3 Dec of 2017, compared to 2016. The gang-bangers killed 40, an 18% increase. But it gets BETTER STILL…
The kill-to-wounded ration in 2016 was just 16%.
But for that same 11-month period THIS year, the kill rate increased to 17.2%. There was no data released on shots per kill.
Mind you, Mayor Walsh, the Garden Gnome, and almost every Democrat in the State will tell you the problem in these 'neighborhoods of color' is "GUNS!"
And Maura Healey is damned sure AR-15s and AK-47s are walking around in organized kill teams, stalking Black and Hispanic kids.
Reading this you might think we don't care about young Black and Hispanic lives in our inner cities.
Of course we do. Democrat politics has turned them into virtual 3rd World Citizens – who are unlikely to ever realize their full American potential.
But Democrats cannot win elections, – cannot cling to their corrupt power, – without this guaranteed voting block.
So Democrats will do NOTHING to prevent teenage gang-bangers from selling drugs and knocking up teenage girls – turning them into lifelong welfare mommas – and Democrat voters.
If we were hard-hearted we'd point out that higher kill rates means fewer full hospital beds and recovering gang-bangers, – who will walk out looking for revenge. A dead gang-banger – however tragic – will sell no more drugs, – and will never shoot up another street corners.
But in Democrat-Controlled Boston, – he's likely to vote in the next 10 election cycles.
Democrats: Keeping young Blacks and Hispanics well fed, drug addicted, poorly educated, and government dependent since LBJ's Great Society.

Blast kills 55 at Shiite march in western Pakistan
Saturday, September 4, 2010
SUKKUR, PAKISTAN - A suicide bombing at a Shiite demonstration in the western Pakistani city of Quetta left at least 55 people dead Friday, triggering fears of an outbreak of sectarian violence as the nation continues to struggle with ruinous floods.
The strike followed a suicide attack that killed at least two people in northwestern Pakistan at a mosque of the Ahmadi sect, a religious minority whose members are frequent victims of Islamist extremists. Suicide bombers struck a Shiite march Wednesday in the eastern city of Lahore, killing at least 30 and sparking riots.
The Pakistani Taliban, an offshoot of the Afghan group, asserted responsibility for the Lahore bombing. The United States added the militant organization, which officials say was behind May's Times Square bomb attempt, to its terrorism blacklist this week. A Pakistani Taliban leader said Friday that the group plans more strikes in the United States and Europe.
Attacks by Islamist radicals slowed during the past month as Pakistan coped with its worst-ever natural disaster, which has left 1,600 people dead and displaced millions. Although it was unclear whether militants were offering a reprieve or were themselves weakened by the floodwaters, this week's bombings seemed to mark an end to that lull.
The Quetta bombing injured at least 100. It occurred in a busy commercial area as Shiite Muslims - a minority in a nation of mostly Sunnis - gathered for a march to express solidarity with Palestinians. Similar marches were held elsewhere in Pakistan.
Television footage showed vehicles and motorbikes aflame in deserted streets. According to the news network Express 24/7, surviving protesters fired guns, contributing to the injuries.
Quetta is in the province of Baluchistan, one of Pakistan's least populated and poorest regions. The province was hit by flooding, but the government has restricted movement of international aid agencies in the area, where separatists have waged a low-level insurgency for years.
Monsoon rains that sparked flooding in July let up this week, and floodwaters continued to recede, allowing more Pakistanis to return to the cities and villages they had evacuated weeks before.
But vast swaths of southern Pakistan, including areas surrounding Sukkur, remained underwater, and millions were still living in tent camps. Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani said the inundations had caused as much as $7 billion in damage.
Relief workers and officials said hundreds of thousands of Pakistanis remain stranded on patches of dry land and warned that water-borne illnesses and hunger are still threats.

The credit cards you use on a regular basis are the only ones you need to keep. That way, you will always know where they are and will be alerted immediately if they are lost. Then if your wallet is lost or stolen, you know exactly which credit cards are missing. If you cannot find your cards, contact the issuing credit card companies immediately to cancel them.
Never give your credit card number out, over the phone or online, without knowing and trusting the company you are dealing with. Be very wary of any unsolicited messages that ask for your credit card number. There are a variety of scams designed to gather credit card information from unsuspecting consumers. Therefore, it is important to protect yourself and remain diligent.
When you purchase items on the Internet using your credit card, ensure you retain a copy of all the transaction records relating to it. Keep such receipts until your bill arrives so that you can verify the accuracy of the amount charged. If that is not the case, get in touch with the company and dispute the charge right away. This is an excellent way to avoid being overcharged for a cost you are not responsible for.
If you have no credit or bad credit, it may be wise to get a secured credit card. With these cards you deposit money into an account and then you charge against that collateral. These cards can quickly increase your credit score.
Keep a budget you are able to handle. The limit placed on your card is not a goal to be reached, so you don't need to spend it to the max. Know how much you will be able to afford to pay for that month so you can pay it off each month to avoid interest payments.
If your primary motivation for acquiring a new credit card is its rewards or cash back program, you need to make an effort to learn all of the rules and regulations that govern the the card's programs before you sign up. Check to see if there is an expiration date on the reward and decide if you can take advantage of them before they expire.
Make sure that you fully comprehend the terms and conditions of a credit card policy before you start using the card. Credit card issuers will generally interpret the use of the credit card as an acceptance of the credit card agreement terms. The print on the agreement may be small, but it is important to read it carefully.
Check out the types of loyalty rewards and bonuses that a credit card company is offering. If you are going to use any kind of credit card with perks, find one that is of the most value to you. If you use your card wisely, you can get quite a lot back from your card.
It is vital that you cultivate a little financial discipline before you open up a credit card account. Some consumers cannot help but spend more than they are able to. Those people shouldn't use credit cards. It is far too easy for them to fall risk to temptation, and then they find themselves in dire straits with credit card debt.
Understand the APR you are being offered. It is extremely important before you sign on to getting that credit card that you must know the interest rate. If you are unsure, over time you might pay much more than what items actually cost. If the interest rate is too high, you might find yourself carrying a bigger and bigger balance over each month.
When getting a credit card, have the account active for as long as possible. Unless necessary, you don't want to switch accounts around. How long you have had different accounts open plays a factor in how good your credit score is. Keeping accounts open whenever possible is one element of building a good credit history.
Keeping several lines of credit open is helpful to your credit profile. You can improve your credit score by managing these cards responsibly, especially if you keep from carrying month-to-month balances on the cards. Having more than three open helps lenders look at you in a bad light when they see your credit report.
Avoid purchasing items out of your budget with a credit card. While it is fine to use them for items you may afford later, you should avoid using credit to purchase big ticket items that you are going to run into problems paying for.
Don't be afraid to speak with your credit card company if you feel your interest rates are too high. Just make a simple phone call and request that your rate be lowered. They will probably be glad to do so in order to keep you as a customer.
Learn how closing the account associated with your credit card will affect you before you shut it down. Many times, closing an account leaves a negative mark on your credit record, and should be avoided, even if you do not plan to ever use the account again. Also, keep open all the accounts that make up most of your history.
Some individuals make decisions to not carry any credit cards, so as to completely avoid debt. This can be a mistake. Carrying just one card can help you to build credit, which becomes important when you are looking to get a mortgage or car loan. If you are going to use it, pay the total debt at each statement. If you have no credit, your score is lower and lenders will not know whether you can manage credit.
When used properly, credit cards are quite useful. This article's advice will assist you in properly using your credit card, while avoiding debt and keeping an ideal credit score.

text: The magnificent Emperor Moth is just taking to the wing in Caithness and will continue flying until the end of May. Although typically found on heathland and moorland the larvae eat a wide range of woody plants so the adult moth can be found in a wide range of habitats and will sometimes even appear at lit windows. This female was caught at the light trap in my garden last night. The males, which have orangish brown underwings and are generally less grey than the females, fly during the day when it is sunny and can easily be overlooked as a butterfly.

It's been a good end of year. I've rediscovered my running mojo, accepted, as best I can at the moment, my trans-ness and overcome the worst of my trans induced depression.
First the trans stuff.
I've been seeing a hypnotherapist as a way of helping me calm my head. She's very good as far as I can see, and if nothing else, is filling the gaping hole in the NHS mental health service. If you cut your finger, you go to A&E and get seen. Have a breakdown and it is probably 3-4 months before you get seen. By that point you've either topped yourself or found your through. Once again I'm not being theatrical here. Topping myself has been a valid way forward twice in two years now, and it's no joke to find yourself googling how best to hang yourself. But - thanks to my wife wife and my GP [and my basic positive personality] I'm 99% through that now, and can only look back in amazement at what I must have been like 2 months ago. Any way - the hypnotherapist is proving very good. I'm not going tio be cured, but it might make the thoughts a bit better. Oh BTW - before anyone asks, there has been about 100 years of study into trans-ness so far. The first 50 focused on fixing the obvious problem, the mind, but that didn't work. Nope psychotherapy, ECT, Hypnotherapy -you name it nothing worked. The only proven way to relieve the intense pain, is to change the body.
What I'm finding, is every time I visit the hypnotherapist, my energy and outlook improves. I've had one or two reallyg good trans free days, but last night was hell. From 9pm till 9am I was subjected to internal turmoil, sleeplessness and restlessness - all driven by the overpowering though that I MUST be female. I HAVE to be. This is no quirk. This is bl**dy agony.
But lets look at the running
I've had a great couple of weeks. I've fallen in love with the fell shoes I bought last year, but never wore. They have been great in the snow near home. Had a great night time head-torch run up the glen with the dog the other night. Nothing but stillness, the beam of the light and the joy of the dog to run with. so invigorating and so fulfilling. I lost a lot of my fitness through this summers depression, but it seems to be coming back quite quickly or so it seems. Unlike 3 months ago where running was just hard work and a chore, it's like floating on air now and full of joy. It's so nice to enjoy running again. I'm not fast, I'm not clever, but I do enjoy the Tao of running. So to finish the year off [hogmanay] I went for a run on the WHW near Tyndrum. It was lovely. Only saw one or two other runners skating about in the ice, but it was really good to finish the year on the WHW ahead of Fling in April. Hopefully, I'm going to be able to recover my fitness without descending back into depression [clinical depression is actually blowing a chemical fuse, and once it's blown it can take quite a time for the lymbic system to re-set itself fully - at least 6 months after you 'feel better']
Hopefully this year I'll manage to do the Fling, make better progress in accepting my trans-ness and retain the love of my family. Acceptance is hard as it means accepting physical change is necessary. There is still a battle there to be had, along with a few terrifying conversations TBH.
So, to anyone that reads this - have a cracking 2011. May you run long and far and may you cherish your loved ones as they cherish you.
Read This First Please...........
Whats this blog about?
I suffer from Gender Dysphoria, a medical condition that sets the mind against the body. It's more commonly know as transsexualism and is commonly percieved as a 'choice' or sexual in nature. It's not. It's a genetic quirk, a birth defect - no more a choice than having blue eyes or being left handed, and has nothing to do with sexuality or gratification. It is not a mental condition but a physical one of the hormonal system and the way it interacts with the brain. It's been with me since I was 3, but always pushed away as 'wrong' and a foible of my mind. in late 2008 it exploded back out into my now normal life with a loving family. It's put me into the pits of depression with this, and have been close to suicide twice now. I'm not going to fight anymore. I give up - I can't beat this and I now accept that I will have to transition to female at some point. Or I'll die. It's as simple as that.
I am, and always will be a family person, so one thing I can promise is that this blog will not contain content likely to be regarded as being offensive. It may make you think, but will never be salicious or rude. So I've blogged about fighting being trans before and I've blogged about running before. It's time to start to normalise apparently contrary things in my life [ha!] and accept that all parts of life are not incompatible.
So it's 20/12/10 today as I start this blog. In April 2011 I'd like to run the Highland Fling as a male vet. At some point in the years not too far ahead I'd like to run it as female. Now there is a target.
Please do stop by and leave comments

The time has come Vixens. You knew this was coming, we both did. With the curtains of January 2017 slowly closing, Valentine's Day is prepping himself off stage for his grand entrance. And of course a V-Day post is in order.
Okay okay; settle down, I can hear your cries of 'January isn't even over yet!' Sure, February might not be here yet but heart shaped goodies and 'Him and Her' novelty gifts have inescapably begun to dominate storefronts nation wide. It's become clear that we'd all be truly lost without a monthly theme to revolve ourselves around. So in the same way that Christmas carols start chiming the moment the flame from the last jack-o-lantern is blown out, and outfits are frantically being impulse bought for NYE once that last, solitary gravy smothered roast potato is devoured at Christmas dinner, the early Valentine's anticipation is just as inevitable. It's like the real life version of every North-Pole based movie ever; where Santa finishes his gift delivery route only to suddenly find a huge timer appear, letting us know there are only 364 days till next Christmas. The next thing is always round the corner, and this month's theme is ol' Valentine's Day. And Voodoo Vixen has jumped on that commercialised bandwagon. But with good reason, because in all seriousness, a Voodoo Vixen Valentine's is all a girl needs.
Ah I see that your cries have now turned into, 'tell us more! What's a Voodoo Vixen Valentine's?' I knew you'd come around.
You're gonna love the answer. It's a whole new section added to our Voodoo Vixen website full of our favourite, Valentine's inspired outfits with (wait for it)… 20% off.
We're all about spreading the love.
We've got so many gorgeous pieces featuring in this special little sale, so to aid and abet in your online shopping endeavours we've picked out some stunners to feature in this blog post. Be prepared for wonderfully deep reds, flirty flared skirts and as always, vintage Vixen style.
We'd like to introduce to someone we think would be the perfect fit for you. Vixen, meet Laura. She takes simplicity and turns it into pure sophistication. We'll let you in on a vintage secret: elegance is often in the details. Pleated chest detailing and small elegant buttons on our Laura dress provides a classic spin on this simple A-line stunner. The flared skirt and concealed zip work together to create the perfect fit, in fact it's one of our best selling shapes. And with its ¾ length sleeves and added cuff buttons, Laura will certainly bring some classic vintage charm to any Valentine's date.
For just as much flare we've got our Marjorie Dress. With a fitted torso and flawlessly flared skirt falling effortlessly over the hips, this dress encourages some serious strutting and sassing. A contrast black belt clinches in the waist for that feminine silhouette. This piece is completed with full top to bottom, statement black buttons and black embroidery flower detail along the collar. Looks like Marjorie is ready for some romance.
Maybe you're looking to add a little retro fun to your Valentine's Day? Well, would you believe it: we've got you covered. Katniss Red is a best selling Vixen favorite. Superstition might tell us black cats are bad luck, but this exclusive retro cat print is anything but. This charming skater dress is as unique as it is flattering. Featuring a front and back dipped, scalloped neckline, a discreet zip, and contrast fabric belt, it's the lucky little number that'll make you standout this V-Day.
And of course, no list of recommendations is complete without a dramatic showstopper of a dress: enter Emily. Nothing says pinup style quite like this piece! With a rich yet delicate floral print, classic vintage shape and flirty ruffled hip, Emily's the piece that has the power to break hearts.
Oh, and Vixens, don't forget to accessorise appropriately. Our Winter Romance Bag is an utter dream. With neutral florals and ribbon design, it'll add a pop of pretty to any outfit. It might be a Winter Romance Bag but its our undeniable all year round favourite!
So whether you're buying a gorgeous piece for a special Valentine's date or as a gift for that eternally deserving significant other, you can't go wrong with the beautiful garments in our Valentine's section.
And hey, the term treat yourself has never been more relevant! If the last week has taught us anything it's that girl power is beautifully strong and undeniably fierce. So treat yourself to that 20% off and feel beautiful this February.
Sending you love Vixens,
Find all these gorgeous featured items on the 'Valentine's Day' section of the Voodoo Vixen website: http://www.voodoovixen.co.uk/index.php/vixen-valentine.html

South Fork is fortunate to be located at the junction of two rivers, the South Fork River which flows down 3,000 vertical feet from the Continental Divide at Wolf Creek Pass and the Rio Grande River which has its headwaters nearby in the San Juan Mountains above Creede, CO. The Rio Grande is the third largest river in the US and flows 1,865 miles to the Gulf of Mexico, near Brownsville, TX.
Here in the high country the rivers are clean, cold, wild, and excellent trout habitat. Large, mature trees and lush shrubbery line the rivers' banks. Fishing, rafting, kayaking and tubing are very popular, and a kayak water park is in the early stages of development in South Fork. The Rio Grande Golf Course meanders along the river and crosses it in several places. Two of the local residential developments have fishing lodges on The Rio Grande which may be used by their members.
Vacant land on the South Fork River begins in the $90's and on the Rio Grande River in the high $100's. Home prices generally start in the mid $300's. Currently there are numerous homes for sale on the river.
Please let me know if you would more information about any of these river properties.

By Melissa Akin
MOSCOW (Reuters) - For one evening last week, Fox News was among Russian television's best sources of information on the swell of protest in Moscow against alleged fraud in a parliamentary election that handed victory to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's party.
One of Russia's state-controlled national television networks was quick to seize on the U.S. news channel's erroneous use of footage showing rioting in Athens to illustrate its reports on comparatively sedate protests in central Moscow.
For many Russians, especially those in distant cities with access only to the country's three state-controlled terrestrial channels, it was the first they had seen and possibly heard of the protests that had gone all but unreported in Russia.
The editors were using one of their old moves to evade the threat of state retaliation for reporting on politically inexpedient facts. Instead of reporting the news itself, they reported on the foreigners reporting the news on Russia.
The move cut both ways. Even as it announced there was open dissent in the capital, it flattered the notion, promoted by Putin himself, that Moscow's Cold War enemy was encouraging and exaggerating dissent.
"There was informational schizophrenia about the unfortunate job done by Fox," said Anna Kachkayeva, dean of media communications at Moscow's Higher School of Economics and a media commentator for Radio Liberty's Russian language station.
That oblique report gave some insight into the pressure that Russia's state-controlled media are under, despite some signs of resurgent independence in the newsrooms where Moscow journalists make the news for the vast majority of the country.
"Everything is happening in a strange way, a nervous way," Kachkayeva said. "There are endless meetings, an endless tug-of-war. Television bosses are in the frying pan. They could make a mistake. They are trying to agree positions, trying to do whatever they can do while the window of opportunity is open."
The allegations of fraud tore through social media such as Facebook, where organizers raised a protest movement on a scale unseen since mass resistance to an attempted Communist power grab as the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.
Ten days after the start of protests, one big question is whether they will bring real change not only to politics, but to the national televised media which have helped uphold Putin through his 12 years in power as president and prime minister.
That question appeared to receive an answer on Saturday, as tens of thousands of protesters returned home from the biggest demonstration yet over the December 4 election.
Some of their hopes shifted to their television sets and an unlikely opposition hero - Alexei Pivovarov, a slight, redhaired news anchor for NTV, a national channel controlled by state natural gas monopoly Gazprom for nearly a decade.
Pivovarov was a reporter with NTV's feisty news team in the heyday of Russian television news, a free-for-all backed by wealthy industrialists who bankrolled the media to maintain political support for their business empires.
NTV news was all that and more -- independently owned, feared and sometimes exploited by the country's most powerful politicians. When its owner fell foul of the Kremlin, it ran into financial trouble and was taken over by Gazprom.
Under effective state control and financed by the energy giant, the channel went the way of other state channels, moving away from hard-hitting news toward serialized glamour and largely benign accounting of the day's events in Russia.
"For the past 10 years the television has reflected society's demands," said Kachkayeva, who says the state media agenda reflected a sort of social contract under which the government offered material comforts in exchange for consent.
"After the previous decade, which was romantic and unnerving, there was a buildup of wealth and consumerism," she said. "Serials were concordant with stability, a little island where everything was good."
Those demands changed, she said, on September 24, when Putin, who had already served the constitutional maximum of two consecutive terms before ceding the presidency to his ally Dmitry Medvedev, announced he would run for president again and hand the premiership to Medvedev.
The implication was that he would win and all had been decided long before the March 4 presidential election. He still is widely expected win - but perhaps not as easily as seemed likely before September 24.
"They let the genie out of the bottle on September 24. Putin would have easily won the election on March 4 if they had not treated people in such a way," said Ilya Ponomaryov, one of the protest organizers and a former member of the parliamentary committee on media for the Just Russia party.
"There were a lot of nice ways for Putin to return but this arrogant, undemocratic job swap alienated so many people, even their own followers, that his ratings started to fall."
Kachkayeva said it became clear that the "social contract" was not forever and television and politics could not longer co-exist with so much cynicism.
Unlike some former NTV colleagues who fled Gazprom-controlled NTV for radio and Internet broadcasters, Pivovarov is among a hard core of NTV veterans still working for the channel.
A newspaper reported on Friday that Pivovarov had said he would not read the news if he could not report on the demonstrations.
When the 7 p.m. news came on after Saturday's protest, Pivovarov was behind the desk on the blue and green NTV news set, describing the throngs on a central Moscow square.
"When we saw Pivovarov and the main news item was not biased, we were overjoyed," said Lada Bakal, a Moscow graphic designer whose family and friends turned out en masse for the protests.
"If we achieved that much, it's already something. But we can't stop now and say 'We did it'."
The head of NTV news, Tatyana Mitkova, told reporters the channel would keep up its coverage as she left the upper house of parliament on Wednesday with the heads of other national television channels.
Pivovarov could not be reached for comment. Sources at NTV said they could not confirm the authenticity of the report but, whether true or not, it had become a sign of the news team's discontent with tight political control.
A veteran Moscow reporter who spoke with Pivovarov said the agenda that night was decided the way it has been for years - with a phone call between the channel's owner - Gazprom Chief Executive Alexei Miller - and its top executive, Vladimir Kulistikov.
Though national attention was pinned to Pivovarov, she said, the deciding factor was Kanal Rossiya, owned by the state media holding, which led the evening news on the protests.
"Miller and Kulistikov spoke on the phone, and said, well, Rossiya did, so we probably can too," the veteran reporter said.
The protests have become common currency on national television, with public approval from Putin and Medvedev, who called them a demonstration of civil rights in Russia.
"The Kremlin was in a lose-lose situation. They had to show the pictures because otherwise they would have faced too much anger," Ponomaryov said.
"But the pictures they showed to viewers across Russia were of peaceful protests, not State Department-sponsored, radical revolutionaries. Next time there will be more people and calmer people, less revolutionary people who turn out in bigger quantities."
The Kremlin appears willing to run the risk that coverage of the protests will bring more people out into the street on December 24, when the next protest is scheduled in Moscow.
"The channels will have to keep covering the protests now they have starting showing them, but Putin has not lost control of the media," said political analyst Gleb Pavlovsky, a former Kremlin adviser.
Television coverage remains guarded. It excludes direct criticism of Putin and one clear taboo remains - the reason the protests began in the first place.
The editor of a prominent weekly news magazine said on Wednesday he was sacked by the owner of the publishing house, mining tycoon Alisher Usmanov, after publishing a story on ballot fraud featuring a photograph of a ballot marked with an obscene phrase directed at Putin.
The issue has yet to receive an airing on state television. NTV'sSunday night news magazine, Central Television, a Russian hipster's answer to U.S. Sunday night institution 60 Minutes, was all about the protests.
"There is nothing else to talk about," its host, Vadim Takmenyov, told the camera, staring intensely from behind angular, thick-rimmed spectacles.
There may have been something else. In a public exchange on Kachkayeva's Facebook page, members of Moscow's media discussed a report prepared by another NTV veteran, Pavel Lobkov, on the ballot fraud itself. The report was not aired.
Lobkov, participating in the discussion, wrote that he had not made any guarantees to his sources that the piece would run. He did not respond to a request for comment.
"It is not about the legitimacy of the Duma, but about Putin's own situation," Kachkayeva said. "Because everything that is connected with the falsifications is undermining his own legitimacy."

Photograph collectors in Maryland have discovered what appears to be the only known photograph of Phineas Gage. Gage is a legend in neuroscience and psychology. Here's why (from the Boston Daily Courier, September 20th, 1848):
Horrible Accident. Phineas P. Gage, a foreman on the Rutland Railroad at Cavendish, Vt., was preparing for a blast on Wednesday last, when the powder exploded, carrying through his head an iron instrument, an inch and a fourth in circumference, and three feet and eight inches in length. The iron entered on the side of his face, shattering the upper jaw, and passing back of the left eye, and out the top of his head. Singularly enough, he was alive at two o'clock the next afternoon, in full possession of his reason, and free from pain (Macmillan, 1986, p. 77).
In many ways, the story of Phineas Gage has grown into a myth, and the legend surrounding Gage's condition probably began with the newspaper article above. There is still a pervasive view that Gage recovered fully from his injuries in a very short period of time. While it was amazing that Gage survived having a tamping iron travel through his brain, by no means was he ever the same person following the accident. For more information on Phineas Gage, I suggest you track down two great articles penned by Malcolm Macmillan at the University of Melbourne:
- Macmillan, M. B. (1986). A wonderful journey through skull and brains: The travels of Mr. Gage's tamping iron. Brain and Cognition, 5, 67-107.
- Macmillan, M. (2008). Phineas Gage - Unravelling the myth. The Psychologist, 21, 828-831. (link)

Located in the northern part of the country, Aleppo serves as an important business centre. However, most of the infrastructure, including houses, roads and hotels have been destroyed following fierce fighting in December 2016. Aleppo used to be Syria's populous city of 1.9 milli9no people, but since war broke out, people fled to mother areas, leaving Aleppo an almost empty city. With the reconstructions, people are now trickling back to restart their lives.

Kladderadatsch[1] (onomatopoeic for "Crash") was a satirical German-language magazine first published in Berlin on 7 May 1848,[2] and appearing "daily, except for weekdays". It was founded by Albert Hofmann and David Kalisch, the latter the son of a Jewish merchant and the author of several works of comedy.[3] Publication ceased in 1944.
The first edition, written almost entirely by Kalisch, saw 4,000 copies printed, all of which were sold within 24 hours. Two other writers, Ernst Dohm and Rudolf Löwenstein, were then employed. Wilhelm Scholz's drawings appeared in the second edition, and would do so for the next 40 years.[3]
In the beginning, the magazine had a conservative bias towards the policies of Chancellor Otto von Bismarck. After the 1923 takeover by the industrialist Hugo Stinnes, the tenor shifted towards German Nationalism and Nazism.[4]

If you can't find an answer to your question here, please contact the KVH support team.
Strong magnetic fields have the ability to cause apparent drift in the gyro bias. This is due to the Faraday effect on the laser light in the sensing coil resulting in non-reciprocal light paths. While this effect can be observed in gyros designed for precision inertial navigation systems (drift rates of less than 1 degree per hour), and can be mitigated by the use of mu-metal shielding, there have been no reported problems with KVH FOGs. If your application results in mounting a FOG near a very strong magnetic field (>50 gauss), a practical test to determine sensitivity is suggested.
A rate gyro does not output accumulated angle. Instead, it outputs rate of change of angle. In most KVH FOGs, the users can change the output format as desired; rate integrated angle, or incremental angle.
All KVH FOG products meet the European Community Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive and are approved to display the CE mark. They have been tested for conformance to electromagnetic emissions and susceptibility requirements. The units also meet FCC Part 15.
